The study is being conducted by Eden Project International, the global wing of the project whose ambition is to create transformative projects on every inhabited continent. Like every Eden Project around the world, Eden Project New Zealand will be regenerative with an overarching theme of humanity’s connection to the natural world. We couldn’t have reached this important milestone without the continued support, fortitude and unwavering ambition of the Eden Project NZ Trust. “The Eden Project sponsor estimated that the project may create 100 jobs during construction, and an operating Eden Project Christchurch could generate 150 direct jobs and support 1,200 indirect jobs, as well as up to $2 billion of economic impact in the community. Other destinations for proposed Eden Projects include Australia, China, Costa Rica and several projects in other parts of the UK.
