The memorial is located in a landscaped area known as the Kate Sheppard National Memorial Reserve , beside the Avon River and adjacent to a heritage building , Our City ( the Old Municipal Chambers ) near the corner of Worcester Street and Oxford Terrace . This building was damaged in the 2010 Canterbury earthquake and the memorial was behind barricades while the building was assessed . In a ceremony presided over by the Mayor of Christchurch , Lianne Dalziel , in June 2014 , the memorial was liberated from the barricades and public access was restored
