The Justice and Emergency Services Precinct is a building complex in central Christchurch, New Zealand. It comprises three buildings: the Justice Building, the Emergency Services Building, and a car park for operational vehicles. It was constructed in the mid-2010s to house New Zealand Police and the Department of Corrections, law courts including the Christchurch District Court, as well as Fire and Emergency New Zealand, St John New Zealand, and the local and government Civil Defence agencies. The combined floor size of the Precinct is 42,000m2 and is the largest multi-agency co-location project by the government in the history of New Zealand to date. The Precinct was developed as a key anchor project in the rebuild of Christchurch following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. It was the first significant public building constructed and opened by the government following the earthquakes. The building was opened by Prime Minister Bill English in a ceremony on 12 September 2017. In December 2019, two years after opening, the Precinct had undergone 1800 unplanned repairs at a cost of NZ$5.5 million, including replacing unsafe glass, fixing multiple leaks, and roughly 500 call-outs to repair the air conditioning system. The Public Service Association subsequently criticised the issues in a public statement.
