Focus Group Application
As Orana Wildlife Park approaches its 50th anniversary in 2026, we are embarking on a significant transformation. Rather than a midlife crisis, this milestone marks a bold new chapter—one shaped by reflection, innovation, and community engagement.
WE NEED YOU: Orana is seeking 30-40 individuals to participate in focus groups to help shape our future marketing and visitor experience strategy. Whether you’re a regular visitor, haven’t been in years, or have never stepped through our gates your voice matters – especially if you’ve had strong feelings about your visit, good or bad. We want to hear from people who care deeply about wildlife, conservation and the role Orana plays in the region.
Please note: In order to qualify participants need to be aged 16 years and over.
Focus Groups will occur at an inner city location in Christchurch and will take place in person (we are not able to offer them digitally). We expect to hold the sessions mid - late July.
Applications are open until 5pm, Monday 30 June 2025.
Thank you very much for your interest in being involved in our focus groups. We will contact you to advise whether or not you have been selected to take part.
Please answer all of the questions in the application form below.
