  • Mapping Memories in the Residential Red Zone
    Mapping Memories in the Residential Red Zone GEOG 402 Resilient Cities: Group Research Project Laura Quaid, Khiem Nguyen, Talia Ellison, Xolile Ncube Department of Geography, University of Canterbury Executive Summary The objective of this research is to understand how we can best capture and present collective and individual memories of the Residential Red Zone (RRZ). RRZ refers to the area in the East of Christchurch, categorised by significant land damage as a result of the 2010 and 2011 Christchurch Earthquakes, which deemed the land unsuitable for residential use for a prolonged period. The results were informed by a study of literature into the sense of place, social memory, archiving, and GIS. We used qualitative semi-structured interviews to collect stories that capture the sense of place of living in this area and secondly, to understand the importance of preserving the memories of the red zone. This study also focused on how to best capture, document and share memories based on the desired outcomes from the perspective of the community. We used snowball and purposive sampling for the selection of participants of former residents of the Residential Red Zone. A total of eight (8) people were interviewed. Some in their individual capacity, others on behalf of the community and some were interviewed as individuals and they also represented the community. The community members interviewed expressed a keen desire to preserve and archive the memories of the RRZ. Participants expressed a desire for the memories to reflect the sense of place prior to the earthquakes and the way the community strengthened following the disaster, and the lessons that could be shared about the process of recovery.

  • Flatwater Sport and Recreation Facilities in the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Area TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY STUDY
    Flatwater sport and recreation facilities in the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Area TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY STUDY Technical Feasibility Study: Flatwater Facility 1 Revised Version: May 2018 Flatwater sport and recreational facilities in the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Area TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY STUDY Revised Version: May 2018 Technical Feasibility Study: Flatwater Facility 2 Revised Version: May 2018 EXPLANATORY NOTE Regenerate Christchurch’s Letter of Expectations from the Mayor of Christchurch and the Minister supporting Greater Christchurch Regeneration requests that Regenerate Christchurch assess the feasibility of constructing an open water course suitable for international water sports events in the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Area (Area). The purpose of this study is to identify and assess a range of options for construction of an open water course within the Area including options suitable for international water sports events. This study does not make any recommendations as to which option / options should be included in the Regeneration Plan that is being developed for the Area. This study considers the feasibility of 30 different design options for development of a flatwater facility in the Area. The options range from 2.2km flatwater facilities that meet FISA (world rowing) specifications, to 1.1km flatwater facilities suitable for hosting international dragon boating, waka ama, triathlon and other water sports events. It also includes some options for smaller recreational sized flatwater facilities. Some of the options identified in this study affect privately owned properties within the Area. Regenerate Christchurch has attempted to contact, visit and support all these private property owners ahead of publishing this study. Note that no assumption has been made that a flatwater facility suitable for international water sports events will be included in the final Regeneration Plan for the Area.

  • Briefing to Incoming Associate Minister for Greater Christchurch Regeneration
    Briefing to Incoming Associate Minister for Greater Christchurch Regeneration Credit: Christchurch City Council Date 2 July 2019 ProactivelyPriority released by theRoutine Minister for Greater Christchurch Regeneration Security Classification In Confidence Welcome and introduction Congratulations on your appointment as Associate Minister for Greater Christchurch Regeneration. On behalf of DPMC and our colleagues across regeneration-related entities, we look forward to working with you to support the regeneration of greater Christchurch. It is nearly nine years since the first earthquake struck Canterbury on 4 September 2010, which was followed a few months later by the 22 February 2011 6.3 magnitude earthquake. As you know, these devastating events marked the beginning of a long journey of recovery and regeneration for the people of greater Christchurch. Almost a decade later, considerable progress has been made rebuilding the city and the lives of those impacted by the earthquakes. Regeneration momentum has accelerated in the last two years, as a number of critical projects reach or near completion, with critical decision points during the next year that will shape the future of greater Christchurch and a return to local leadership. Most notable are the decisions relating to the future use of land in the residential red zone, global settlement, and Canterbury Multi-Use Arena. This briefing provides you with contextual information about the regeneration of greater Christchurch. It outlines roles and responsibilities across the portfolio as a whole and specific information about key issues and decisions required in relation to the portfolio in the coming months. Following the delegation of specific responsibilities to you as Associate Minister, officials will provide further briefings as required.
