Welcome

​To the Timaru Civic Trust
The Timaru Civic Trust is an active advocate for high quality buildings and amenities in our city. The character, heritage and disposition of a city is embodied in the successful articulation of its form. Improving and preserving the exceptional design of buildings, streetscapes and green spaces enhances the city environments we inhabit every day. For these reasons we hope to inspire public interest in the beauty, history and character of Timaru.​
