Sept-Oct 2011 Gtr Progress
Greening the Rubble Project September-October 2011 News Monthly progress report from Christchurch Project Worker to Living Streets Aotearoa Executive (managers) and to 'Make Shift' Steering Group (advisors, including CCC.) These mid-month reports coincide with financial reporting to LSA, and aim to brief the participants in Make-Shift Steering Group and Strategy meetings, set for Tuesday 25 October. Wet weather has curtailed a few outdoor sessions for volunteers, but overall this has been a productive period. We have new volunteers coming forward most weeks, additional sponsors secured and more sites being offered than we can work on at once, so a wait list is emerging. In Sept - our daffodils on Victoria Street and at right - Headlines are: de-construction of Victoria Green has begun, with relocation of gabions under Kowhai flower buds look healthy although the way to three sites; landscape designs are prepared for these three sites and commissioned for transplanted trees have lost many leaves after their a new roadside trio near the Lichfield Temporary Bus Exchange; outdoor furniture has been move to planters. Kowhai subsequently in flower. built for us by Hagley Community College students; and we are planning contributions of materials to two sites being organised by others: trees and path surfacing for the landscape at ‘Restart’ container shops in Cashel Mall (Tony Milne for Lincoln Uni.) and turf for a summer artwork installation site in Sydenham (Peter Majendie, with CCC). Over $1,300 more has arrived in donations in September through the ‘Silty’ block sales by Urban Paving Ltd. An additional site in Ferry Road has been informally surveyed and feasibility assessment started. -
Reconnection to Cleared Site in Christchurch Architecture for the Rememberer
Reconnection to Cleared Site in Christchurch Architecture for the Rememberer Abigail Michelle Thompson A thesis submitted in ful! lment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture (professional), The University of Auckland, 2012 Fig 1: Project. Surface study model by author. Abstract The loss of life and buildings due to the devastating and continuing earthquakes in Canterbury (since 9th September, 2010) have created a need to examine the issue of memory with concerns to architecture in a New Zealand context. This thesis was initiated with concern to addressing the cleared (destroyed, demolished) buildings of Christchurch and architecture’s role in reconnecting Cantabrians mnemonically to the cleared sites in their city. This is an investigation of architecture’s ability to trigger memories in order to speci! cally address the disorientation experienced by Cantabrians subsequent to the loss of built fabric in their city. The design intention is to propose an architectural method for reconnecting people’s memories with site, which will have implications to other sites throughout the city of Christchurch. Consequently, two signi! cant sites of destruction have been chosen, the Methodist Church site at 309 Durham St (community) and the house at 69 Sherborne St (domestic). With the only original material left on these cleared sites being the ground itself, two issues were made apparent. Firstly, that ground should play a signi! cant role in substantiating the memory of the site(s), and secondly the necessary task of designing a mnemonic language without tangible links (other than ground). Collective memory is examined with regards to theory by Maurice Halbwachs, Piere Nora, and Peter Carrier. -

Number of Electorates and Electoral Populations: 2013 Census Embargoed Until 10:45Am – 07 October 2013
Number of Electorates and Electoral Populations: 2013 Census Embargoed until 10:45am – 07 October 2013 Key facts The number of electorates will increase from 70 to 71 at the next general election. The number of North Island general electorates will increase from 47 to 48. The number of Māori electorates will remain at seven. The number of general electorates in the South Island is set at 16 by the Electoral Act 1993. In a 120-seat parliament (excluding any overhang seats), a total of 71 electorates will result in 49 list seats being allocated. This is one less list seat than in the 2011 General Election. The Representation Commission can now review the electorate boundaries for the next general election. Liz MacPherson 7 October 2013 Government Statistician ISBN 978-0-478-40854-6 Commentary Electoral populations increase since 2006 Number of electorates will increase Twenty-one current electorates vary from quota by more than 5 percent Enrolments on Māori roll increase Electoral populations increase since 2006 The general electoral population of the North Island is 2,867,110, up 176,673 (6.6 percent) from 2006. For the South Island it is 954,871, up 33,872 (3.7 percent) from 2006. Based on the latest electoral population figures, the electoral population quota (the average population in an electorate) is 59,731 people for each North Island general electorate and 59,679 people for each South Island general electorate. The general electoral population quota has increased by 2,488 people for the North Island and by 2,117 people for the South Island. -

Everyone walks and uses the footpaths some people do so with aid or support. Living Streets represents the interests of all types of walkers,many of whom also use public transport. Living Streets Aotearoa vision is “More people walking more often”. For more information about Living Streets Aotearoa see www.livingstreets.org.nz We wish to speak to our submission in Christchurch. Please send Living Streets Canterbury at the above address a copy of the Officers' Report as soon as it is available, to enable our group to make a more efficient and useful oral submission. General comments The Government's priorities for land transport have a focus on the sustainable movement of people and freight (Government Policy Statement on Land Transport Funding 2009/10-2018/19). The Canterbury Regional Land Transport Strategy 2008–2018 (RLTS) sets the direction for land transport in the region over the next ten years and also emphasises sustainability. The Canterbury Transport Regional Implementation Plan (2008-2038) (CTRIP) has been developed specifically to ensure there is a coordinated approach to delivering the RLTS so should reflect the priorities of the RLTS.
