INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) was established under the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011 to assist with the Government's response to the devastating Canterbury earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. After five years of operation, CERA was disestablished on 18 April 2016. 1.2 Within CERA, the Implementation/Central City Development Unit (CCDU) set out to drive the rebuild of central Christchurch. The Investment Strategy group sat within that unit and was responsible for retaining, promoting and attracting investment in Christchurch. 1.3 In early 2017, investigative journalist Martin van Beynen published a series of articles on alleged conflicts of interest within CERA and CCDU. Due to the serious allegations raised, the State Services Commissioner appointed me to undertake this Inquiry on his behalf on 7 February 2017 pursuant to sections 23(1) and 25(2) of the State Sector Act 1988.
