  • Christchurch City Holdings Limited Is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Christchurch City Council
    Christchurch City Holdings Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Christchurch City Council cChristchurchc Cityh Holdingsl Investing in the city’s infrastructure The primary purpose of Christchurch City Holdings Ltd (CCHL) is to invest in and promote the establishment of key infrastructure, and this now extends to assisting the Council in the rebuild and redevelopment of Christchurch following the Canterbury earthquakes. CCHL will continue to invest in existing and new infrastructural assets such as the electricity distribution network, the airport, port, transport and high speed broadband. CCHL’s strategic approach is to identify infrastructural needs that are not or cannot be filled by the private sector or existing Council operations, then take a role in helping to meet those needs through joint ventures, public-private partnerships, establishing new entities or simply acting as a catalyst for others. Appropriate investment is encouraged and, if necessary, facilitated by CCHL in its trading companies when significant upgrades are required to existing infrastructural assets – recent examples being the establishment and funding of Enable Services, and the provision of some of the funding requirements for the construction of the new airport terminal. CCHL is supportive of its companies as they deal with post-earthquake repairs and rebuild of assets and markets. 2 About CCHL Christchurch City Holdings Ltd (CCHL) is the commercial and investment arm of Christchurch City Council. The company is responsible for managing the Council’s investment in eight fully or partly-owned Council-controlled trading organisations – Orion New Zealand Ltd, Christchurch International Airport Ltd, Lyttelton Port Company Ltd, Enable Services Ltd, City Care CHRISTCHURCH Ltd, Red Bus Ltd, EcoCentral Ltd and Selwyn CITY HOLDINGS Plantation Board Ltd.

  • Proposed Order in Council to Modify Planning and Accountability
    Regulatory Impact Statement Proposed Order in Council to modify planning and accountability provisions for Christchurch City Council and Council-owned entities Agency Disclosure Statement This Regulatory Impact Statement has been prepared by the Department of Internal Affairs. It provides an analysis of options to address the challenges faced by Christchurch City Council in meeting certain legislative requirements, following the Canterbury earthquakes, while continuing to provide for transparency, accountability, and public scrutiny. Christchurch City Council is seeking an Order in Council to modify some Local Government Act 2002 provisions for annual planning and reporting for 2010/11 and 2011/12. In assessing this request, we have considered whether it is practicable and/or useful for the Council to comply with these provisions, given the situation it is facing and the desirability of not diverting resources away from reconstruction and recovery efforts. We have then identified and considered alternative provisions that could help to maintain transparency and accountability, enable continued public oversight and scrutiny, and enable the Council to work proactively, cooperatively, and efficiently with the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority. The Council is also seeking to defer the dates by which: its council-controlled organisations deliver their 2011/12 statements of intent, under the Local Government Act 2002; and Orion New Zealand, the local electricity lines company, delivers its 2011/12 statements of corporate intent, and 2010/11 operations report and financial statements, under the Energy Companies Act 1992. Thus, the proposed Order would also need to modify provisions under this enactment. None of the policy options impose compliance costs on business or affect fundamental common law principles or individual property rights.

  • Warm Families Project Aims to Bring Together a Range of Partners to Improve the Health and Wellness of Low-Income Canterbury Families
    Media Release Embargoed until noon, Tuesday 2 December 2008 NEW SCHEME TO MAKE CANTERBURY FAMILIES HEALTHY A major new home insulation and heating programme has been launched in Canterbury, seeking to secure up to $5 million in funding to warm up, and make energy efficient, thousands of cold and damp homes. “The Warm Families project aims to bring together a range of partners to improve the health and wellness of low-income Canterbury families. It will turn their damp, cold homes into energy efficient, warm, dry and healthy homes,” says Jane Cartwright, Chief Executive of Partnership Health Canterbury, a key project partner. “The focus is on helping low-income Cantabrians to lead warmer, healthier lives by installing insulation and energy-efficient heating in their homes. This will provide health benefits to families and people with identified health issues likely to be made worse by under-heated homes. “This is Canterbury’s largest community project focused on warming up homes to tackle ill health. The provision of insulation and energy efficient heating in homes is essential to deal with the illnesses associated with harsh Canterbury winters,” Ms Cartwright says. Organisations involved include the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), local lines companies Orion and MainPower, power retailer Meridian Energy, the Canterbury District Health Board, Partnership Health Canterbury, Environment Canterbury, Community Energy Action and the Christchurch City Council. Other organisations and supporters are likely to join the project as it grows. “EECA is a major funder and supporter of Warm Families. We are really excited about this project as it will provide free improvements to those with the greatest health needs,” says Mike Underhill, Chief Executive of EECA.
