The Draft Waimakariri Residential Red Zone Recovery Plan (Draft Plan) sets out proposed future uses for about 84 hectares of mainly residential land in the red zone areas of Kaiapoi, The Pines Beach and Kairaki. Possible uses include sport and recreation, and rural and business activity. The four-week period for the public to give feedback on the Draft Plan ended on 1 September 2016. People o¨ered their thoughts through written comment forms and online. Oªcials will study the feedback and provide advice to the Minister supporting Greater Christchurch Regeneration, Gerry Brownlee, to be considered along with the Draft Plan. The Minister will then make a decision on whether to approve the plan, or if any changes should be made. A nal decision is expected later this year.

  • Kaikoura Earthquake Response – a Controller's Perspective
    Kaikoura Earthquake Response – A Controller’s Perspective John Mackie, Christchurch City Council Abstract Having just dealt with the tsunami alert and the overnight evacuation of 20,000 people from coastal areas of Christchurch, following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake at two minutes past midnight on 14 November 2016, key Civil Defence personnel from Christchurch were requested to assist with the response effort in Kaikoura who had suffered severe damage as a result of the quake. This paper outlines the priorities and challenges presented to emergency personnel that were deployed to assist the community and meet their immediate needs in response to one of New Zealand's largest recorded earthquakes. The first wave of responders from Christchurch included a Controller, Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) staff including operations manager, engineering support, planning and intelligence, welfare manager and staff, building and structural engineers, who were booked to fly to Kaikoura at first light on Tuesday 15 November. In a very short space of time after arrival on Tuesday morning, the team were briefed to gain a situational awareness from the local EOC team on the extent of the known damage, emerging issues and welfare needs in the community, which they had identified over the gruelling 34 hours since the event. We understood already that there was no road or rail access to the town due to landslips and cliff collapses, but the boat harbour had been rendered almost useless due to the seismic upheaval of the coast line. One of the short term priorities was to restore a temporary water supply as it was reported that three of the town's five reservoirs were damaged and there was one day of storage remaining at normal demand.

The CDHB is responsible for promoting the reduction of adverse environmental effects on the health of people and communities and to improve, promote and protect their health pursuant to the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000 and the Health Act 1956. 3. These statutory obligations are the responsibility of the Ministry of Health and, in the Canterbury District, are carried out under contract by Community and Public Health under Crown funding agreements on behalf of the Canterbury District Health Board. General comments 4. Health and wellbeing (overall quality of life) is influenced by a wide range of factors beyond the health sector. These influences can be described as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, and are impacted by environmental, social and behavioural factors. They are often referred to as the ‘social determinants of health1. Barton and Grant’s Health Map2 shows how various influences on health are complex and interlinked.

  • Canterbury Wellbeing Index, September 2016, Section 11
    Canterbury Wellbeing Index People participate in and attend the arts 2016 The Canterbury Wellbeing Index tracks the progress of social recovery in greater Christchurch following the earthquakes using indicators to identify emerging social trends and issues. Why is it important for people to be involved in the arts? People attend and participate in the arts for pleasure, creative expression, personal growth, and learning. Through participation in the arts, people are able to establish social ties and connect with their own and other cultures. When individuals gain such advantages, the wider public also benefits. For example, cultures have greater empathy and understanding towards each other and communities are more able to express and create common values and identity.1 In addition, the arts promote broad social, cultural and economic goals, such as economic growth and better academic performance. New Zealanders support the arts strongly. In a 2014 survey, carried out by Creative New Zealand, 78 per cent of respondents agreed that arts help define who we are as New Zealanders and 74 per cent agreed that the arts contribute positively to our economy. Respondents agreed that their community would be poorer without the arts (69 per cent) and supported public funding of the arts (74 per cent).2 Research in 2014 also found that 99 per cent of adults in Christchurch had been to at least one cultural event or place within the previous three years.3 This proportion is slightly higher than the national average of 98 per cent. A literature review of research evaluating arts and cultural initiatives post-earthquakes in Christchurch found a number of positive impacts on community wellbeing, including on people’s physical and mental health, community resilience, and urban identity.

    DISTRICT PLAN –LISTED HERITAGE PLACE HERITAGE ASSESSMENT – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE HERITAGE ITEM NUMBER 607 BRIDGE OF REMEMBRANCE AND SETTING –CASHEL STREET BETWEEN CAMBRIDGE-OXFORD/ 75 AND 78 CASHEL STREET, 97, 100, 101, 127 OXFORD TERRACE, CHRISTCHURCH PHOTOGRAPH: M.VAIR-PIOVA, 9/12/2014 HISTORICAL AND SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE Historical and social values that demonstrate or are associated with: a particular person, group, organisation, institution, event, phase or activity; the continuity and/or change of a phase or activity; social, historical, traditional, economic, political or other patterns. The Bridge of Remembrance has high historical and social significance as it was erected to commemorate those from Canterbury who served in the First World War. At the suggestion of Lilian Irwin, and with some controversy attending a rival proposal to erect a sculptural memorial in Cathedral Square, the decision was made to construct a memorial bridge over the Avon River. This replaced an 1873 structure that was regarded as ‘obsolete and dangerous’ even before the war had commenced (Sun 11 February 1914, p. 8). A competition was held to choose a design for the memorial and it was won by the architectural practice of Prouse and Gummer, of Wellington and Auckland. The memorial was jointly paid Page 1 for by the City Council, who paid for the substructure, and the War Memorial Committee, who raised the money to pay for the superstructure. The foundation stone of the bridge was laid on ANZAC Day (April 25) in 1923. The bridge opened on Armistice Day (11 November) in 1924. One of the many plaques on the arch and its environs bears the inscription ‘Erected by the citizens of Christchurch in grateful remembrance of the Canterbury’s sacrifice, 1914-1919’.

  • Architecture As a Pathway to Reconciliation in Post-Earthquake Christchurch
    The Journal of Public Space 2017 | Vol. 2 n. 3 Special Issue https://www.journalpublicspace.org Architecture as a pathway to reconciliation in post-earthquake Christchurch Simon Te Ari Prendergast, Daniel K. Brown Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand School of Architecture [email protected] | [email protected] Abstract This community-based and culturally-situated design research project reflects on issues of community empowerment and activism through speculative design meant to provoke discourse within the wider New Zealand community. As design-led speculative architectural research, it reaches beyond the confines of professional practice. It challenges the norms of contemporary New Zealand architecture by investigating new architectural approaches to explicitly reflect the cultural identity of New Zealand Māori. The devastating earthquakes of September 4, 2010 and February 22, 2011 destroyed much of Christchurch. While a terrible tragedy, it also opened up the city for fundamental community based discussion. The idea of a post-colonial not just a post-earthquake city emerged, driven by Maorī design and planning professionals following the leadership of local elders. The situated community for this design- led research investigation is the Ngāi Tahu iwi (Māori tribe) of Ōtautahi / Christchurch. Ngaī Tahu professionals in Ōtautahi / Christchurch developed key design aspirations pertaining to THE JOURNAL OF PUBLIC SPACE THE JOURNAL the future architecture and urban design of the new city. The city rebuild offered an opportunity to present a Ngāi Tahu vision that reflected its place identity in the new city. The site for this design research investigation is the Ngāi Tahu owned King Edward Barracks, within the Ōtautahi / Christchurch central business district.
