At the suggestion of the Tramway Historical Society, the City Council included plans for a tramline in its Worcester Boulevard project in the early 1990s.
 It was originally intended to be a line extending along Worcester Street from Cathedral Square but was later extended into a circuit around the central city.
 The City Council granted a licence to Christchurch Tramway Limited to run the tramway and it was opened on 4 February 1995 using vehicles leased from the Tramway Historical Society.

Wood Scenic Line Limited purchased the tramway in 2005 and run it as a commercial operation.
 As such, it is not considered to be part of the public transport system, with its primary focus being tourist traffic.
 Additional vehicles have been acquired by the tramway including a former Melbourne W2 tram that has been converted into a restaurant.
