Interesting. Red-Zone Development? (Stuff - 21-Sept-2016)
In terms of timing, my guess would have been that development of some/all of the residential "red-zone" would have been in about 1 generations time - that is, when those residents that reluctantly and sadly had to leave their house/street/suburb of X years would have passed on....
These type of statements - by Mayor's and Professionals - will soon test the sensitivities of the people! |

The professional quoted was asked if it was possible, and he of course responded that it sounded like it might be. I don't know that there is any sense in denying that viable redevelopment of the red-zone might be possible, regardless of the sensibilities involved in actually doing it. But then, I might be biased eh?

Work to reconfigure land titles in part of Christchurch’s red zone — the largest conveyancing project ever undertaken in New Zealand.

Stuff - the Press: 21-May-2020This follows on from the previous story indicating that the reconfiguration would be "the biggest surveying job in NZ history..." Stuff - The Press: 2-Aug-2019 |

Anger after Crown hands Red Zone Land to Property DeveloperStuff - The Press: 13-Sept-2022Former red-zoned landowners and environment campaigners are angry the Government has given away pieces of Christchurch’s red zone for potential redevelopment. They are urging legal protection to stop more of the zone, which is intended as an ecological reserve, being broken up for commercial purposes. Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed it has given three riverside red zone properties to people on cross leases who declined to sell after the earthquakes. The same has been done with a handful red zoned sites in other parts of the city.

Transfer of Red Zone land to Christchurch Council years behindStuff - The Press: 20-Oct-2022More than $825,000 in rates for former red zone land has been paid by a government agency after lengthy delays in transferring ownership of the land to Christchurch. Toitū Te Whenua- Land Information New Zealand (Linz) initially promised to transfer ownership of all land in the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor to the Christchurch City Council by July 2020. The target later shifted to May 2021, then the “end of 2021” and was now June 2023 – three years late. The 5500 titles across the 602 hectares were being reconfigured by contractors and Linz into 29 blocs, eight of which had been transferred to the council. The rest would be transferred as they became ready.

Red zone handover from Crown to Council completedCCC Newsline: 3-Aug-2023Another chapter of Christchurch’s earthquake recovery has closed, with the final tranche of residential red zone land being transferred from government to local ownership. The occasion, which also ends the Crown’s post-earthquake responsibilities in Christchurch, was marked with a small event at Dallington Landing on 3-August-2023, hosted by Mayor Phil Mauger and Minister for and Information Damien O’Connor. Mayor Mauger says the Council now having full ownership of the former residential red zones is a significant milestone. [And just in the nick of time as the Regeneration legislation expires.....]
