Christchurch recovery

https://ccdu.govt.nz/the-plan

Under the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011, a Recovery Plan must be developed for the central business district (CBD) – the area bounded by Bealey, Fitzgerald, Moorhouse, Deans and Harper Avenues.

The Christchurch Central Recovery Plan is a critical statutory document. From the time of notification (31 July 2012) of this Recovery Plan, those exercising functions or powers under the Resource Management Act 1991 must not make decisions that are inconsistent with the Recovery Plan. These functions and powers include decisions on resource consents, and preparing or changing planning documents. The Recovery Plan can also require that specific objectives, policies and methods are included in or removed from statutory documents. If there is an inconsistency, the Recovery Plan prevails.

This Recovery Plan directs the Christchurch City Council to make a series of changes to its District Plan to ensure the objectives of the Recovery Plan are met.
