The final blueprint for a new Christchurch

608 hectares of Christchurch city, including Hagley Park, will be divided into precincts for health, arts and entertainment, retail, and the justice and emergency sectors. New facilities will be built to replace those lost during the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, resulting in an eventual loss of over 70% of Christchurch’s central city buildings. Highlights include facilities for high performance sports, health and innovation, and a new convention centre.

CERA/CCDU Confiscations continued…

Another building owner, Bruce Williamson, has been fighting tooth and nail to keep his building safe from these idiots and his fate looks even worse than ours, at this stage.  You may remember the saga of the dangerous bricks….  trapped between a container and the wall,  these were “very dangerous”.
