Editor Canterbury Rebuild Magazine

Melinda Collins

Editors note.

Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry

Brownlee, and Christchurch Central MP Nicky

Wagner, discussing rebuild progress in the city

centre, in this issues Influencers columns on

pages 4-5.

Im a wallflower. I have no problem whatsoever with blending inconspicuously

into the background. Im rather resigned to this fact. But never before has it

been so blatantly obvious than when meeting Antony Gough.

My sartorial safety net of black, black and a splash of black is offset by

Antonys striking suit of electric blue which, if you look closely enough, is

covered in Oriental dragon designs.

Yes, he stands out in a crowd, as I describe on page 36. But whats refreshing

about Antony is he stands out as much for his fresh ideas and forward thinking

as he does for his physical presence.

But how many Rich Listers actually write their own media columns, as he says

proudly of the monthly write-up we run on our page 4-5 Influencers section?

How many say yes to almost as many interviews as they are offered? Again, the

answer is very few.

Yes hes bold and vivacious, but you know what? So are plans for The Terrace

and I, for one, am looking forward to the mark he makes on the city upon

completion of the vibrant and dynamic hub, complete with laneways,

courtyards and roof terraces, bars and restaurants.

Its an exciting prospect.

When my aunty, who has been tirelessly working on our family tree for several

years, saw my post on our Facebook page excitedly announcing my meeting

with Antony, she was quick to point out that were related.

Oh that must be where I get my flamboyance from, I jokingly replied.

I was for once not wearing black, that day having chosen to go for an

exuberant beige, my tongue firmly set in my cheek!

Im glad I got the opportunity to meet Antony for myself. Ive read just about

every article written about the man, but it was great to see first-hand that level of

passion and excitement he has for the city because Christchurch truly is an

exciting place to be, with an exciting future ahead. And Antony? Clearly hes got

Christchurchs back.

4 February 2015 Canterbury Rebuild

CanterburyRebuild

Peter Townsend

Canterbury Employers

Chamber of Commerce

Chief Executive

CanterburyRebuild - The Influencers

s people of Christchurch and Canterbury we have

Aevery reason to be optimistic as we enter into a new calendar year. We are approximately 25% into the overall rebuild of our city; with residential housing, the

commercial rebuild, infrastructure and civic amenities all

now progressing with much more certainty and clarity.

The $100 million a week spend on the rebuild will

continue throughout 2015 and despite the risk of capacity

constraints in the reconstruction - so far so good! It is

really exciting to see what is happening in our central city;

every day there is measurable progress, particularly in the

Retail Precinct, Justice Precinct, the Bus Exchange, as

well as commercial developments both in and around the

core of our central city.

The $20 billion spend on housing repairs and rebuilds

is certainly starting to manifest itself in serious housing

construction right across the city. As we continue to drive

the recovery in a much more predictable environment we

have the capacity to spend more time resolving sticky

issues around outstanding insurance settlements,

consenting processes and central city vs wider city

economic dynamics.

It is clear that Central Government, Local Government

and the community are now concentrating on working

towards agreed common objectives, something we have

been crying out for a long time. The citys economy

remains strong and tourism numbers are continuing to

build as more and more accommodation options come

online. The external perceptions of Christchurch are now

much more around a city that has transitioned through

the crisis of an emergency, through to restoring core

functions and now is entering into an extremely exciting

reconstruction phase. Visitors to Christchurch who I have

talked to are really excited about our prospects.

The interdependency between the rebuild and our

regional economy is recognised and we have exciting

developments occurring in the rural sector, particularly

around the harvesting and farming of water (the

importance of which is clearly underlined by the current

drought conditions).

One of the next pieces of work to be achieved across

our community is a clearer definition of what our

aspirations for our city really are i.e. what we really want

Christchurch to be, how will it be branded and what are

its key points of difference. We need to think about how

the rest of our world will see our city in the future and what

will make us really special.

Eugenie Sage

Green party MP

ousing will continue to be a big issue in 2015. The

Hlatest Consumer Price Index, released last month, shows both good news and bad news on the housing front. After years of being the most expensive place to build a

house, Christchurch no longer holds that dubious honour.

Christchurch still holds the record, however, for the highest

rental price increase, 4.9 percent over the last quarter.

Rental prices are consistently higher than the other regions

a clear indication Christchurch needs more houses and fast.

And we need what the Green Party has long promoted a

warrant of fitness for rentals to ensure that landlords provide

basic amenities in warm, dry and healthy homes.

Nationals plans to gut the Resource Management Act wont

result in more affordable housing. Interest rates, tax policies,

high net migration, an increasing population, and the

Governments failure to invest adequately in a state building

programme are all bigger contributors to escalating house

prices and a lack of affordable housing than the RMA.

The Nationals governments real agenda with its RMA

changes is ideological. It is to strengthen private property

rights and weaken the provisions in the RMA which safeguard

our natural environment and which help ensure pleasant and

attractive urban neighbourhoods.

The last time National deregulated the building industry to

drive down costs, this led to the leaky homes crisis with huge

costs to individual homeowners, councils and taxpayers.

Nationals plans to gut the RMA will lead to urban sprawl

and higher costs for councils and ratepayers in providing

water supply, sewage and other infrastructure to sprawling

suburbs.

Stronger private property rights and weaker community

rights risks more loss of wild nature through rubber stamping

of high impact developments, such as dairy conversions and

new irrigation storage schemes. It risks making it more

acceptable to clear native vegetation, reduce a neighbours

sunlight and pollute air and waterways.

Nick Smiths RMA plans will add costs and legal uncertainty.

This will benefit lawyers but it wont reduce the costs of new

house builds.

The Green Party would increase the supply of affordable

housing by undertaking a programme of state building,

introduce a capital gains tax, and introduce a Progressive

Ownership initiative to allow families to 'rent-to-own'

government-built houses at an affordable price.

The Greens would also make income related rent subsidies

available to local authorities as providers of social housing. It

would not do what National is doing in forcing the

Christchurch City Council to offload its social housing so

tenants can assess income related rents.

Everyone needs a warm, dry, and healthy home. We can

and must do better in increasing and improving our housing

stock and in providing more affordable housing.

Mark Johnston

New Zealand

Retailers Association

CEO

ith the festive season over for another year

Wand summer finally in full swing, retailers are already busy planning for Easter, autumn and beyond.

After a slow start, consumer spending picked up

pace from mid-December and Christmas Eve 2014

was most probably New Zealands biggest ever

shopping day. Boxing Day sales subsequently

maintained that late momentum right through until

the start of the New Year as Kiwis continued to keep

retailers busy.

One trend that emerged during the busy shopping

period of the year was the early start to discounting

by many retailers online Barkers, Briscoes, The

Warehouse and others kicked off their Boxing Day

sales on the 24th and 25th of December ahead of

their physical stores re-opening for business on the

26th.

This is a relatively new retailing trend that was

started by Amazon in the US and the UK three or

four years ago and its now gaining in popularity

both here in New Zealand and across the ditch in

Australia.

This year were also likely to see more local

retailers embracing click & collect shopping, where

customers shop online and then pick up their goods

in-store, often spending more when they hit the high

street or the mall.

Were also starting to see a growing number of

pureplay retailers retro-fit their online only stores

into traditional bricks and mortar environments.

Alibaba, the worlds biggest online retailer, recently

bought a chain of department stores in China as its

customers increasingly demand a physical

shopping experience to complement their online

one.

The blending of physical and virtual shopping

continues to be driven by the growing penetration of

mobile devices smartphones and tablets as

savvy consumers do their shopping homework on

the go while theyre out and about shopping.



Gerry Brownlee

Earthquake Recovery

Minister

s I write this the countdown to the ICC Cricket

AWorld Cup is creating a huge buzz across the city. It will be a momentous occasion for Christchurch, and will show not just the rest of the

country, but also the world, that our rebuild is making

this city an exciting and vibrant place to be.

We have already seen the success of one international

test match and a one day international at our new

Hagley Oval - two fabulous 'dummy runs' for the World

Cup. The gentle simplicity of the pavilion's design

combined with the old-English feel of the grassed

embankments makes this a truly fantastic cricket venue.

And those aerial views of it broadcast from the Sky TV

drone camera high above the venue on Boxing Day in

particular, were terrific.

The Cricket World Cup is just one of the major events

our city will host this year, with the FIFA U-20 World Cup

being particularly notable. Momentum is gathering as

more and more buildings are completed, more bars and

restaurants open their doors, and the central city's

anchor projects emerge from the ground.

In tandem with the development of the new Bus

Interchange, work is well underway on changes to the

roading systems. The end result will be a compact, inner

city slow-drive-zone, with more efficient feeder routes for

the traffic on the CBD edges.

Our new inner city will be more pedestrian and cyclist

friendly, which will in turn create a more vibrant space for

our retail and hospitality sectors. And it's not far off. The

Bus Interchange will be open and operational in just a

few months.

By the time the FIFA U-20 World Cup begins its

Christchurch games in June, the city will be looking

significantly different, and I know we will gladly welcome

the thousands of sporting visitors here to enjoy it.

This really is the year of great momentum for

Christchurch and we are pushing full steam ahead with

our progress.

Hon Nicky Wagner Canterbury

Earthquake Recovery

Associate Minister

rebuilt Central Christchurch will have one of the

Amost modern, progressive central city travel networks in the country.We can all see the road cones and we know the city is

still undergoing major construction. The transport chapter

of the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan An Accessible

City allows us to start afresh and design a unique, shared

travel system that puts people first.

It was hard to miss the Bus Interchange foundations

being laid last year, and Im excited about the facility

opening mid this year. Passengers will have access to

more frequent services, as well as two super stops

planned for Tuam and Manchester streets. The Bus

Interchange is expected to triple the number of people

using public transport in the city.

The rebuilt inner city will thrive, and with the East Frame

Residential Precinct stimulating even greater residential

development, the goal is for the inner city population to

reach 20,000 by 2041. Designing a modern, reliable

network that works for people of all ages and levels of

mobility is vital to support this growing community.

Everyone wants city roads to be safe and for traffic to

flow smoothly. There will be changes to one- and two-way

roads to maximise the use of key routes, reduced speed

limits, shared travel zones, separated cycleways and

streets prioritised for buses.

A maximum 30km/hr speed limit will be set in the Inner

Zone, which is bound by Kilmore, Madras, Victoria, and St

Asaph streets and Rolleston Avenue, as well as outlying

sections of Colombo and Victoria streets.

We want to attract cyclists and pedestrians to the city

with shared zones, which will allow motorists access at a

lower speed limit, as well as dedicated cyclist and

pedestrian pathways.

The pathways, along the Otakaro/Avon River and

through the East, North and South frames, will be areas

where people can enjoy more green space and easy

access to central city shopping and hospitality.

An Accessible City will not only improve the transport

network and facilities but welcome more people back into

a revitalised Christchurch to work, live, study, relax and

play.

Antony Gough Central city

developer

he year is upon us and 2015 has started with a buzz of

Tactivity. The shutdown of most building sites over the Christmas New Year period is well behind us and all central city sites are back building. I see 2015 as the year of

greatest building in the CBD. The buildings along

Cambridge Terrace and Durham Street are rising out of the

ground. Deloitte House with its glass faceted street frontage

is showing its finished look and is due to for completion later

this year. It looks fantastic and is a credit to Steve Collins

and his team.

There is also a lot of activity around the Retail Precinct.

The new bus exchange is well advanced and due for its

opening in late April 2015. The Justice Precinct is also now

out of the ground and its steel upper form is now showing

above the ground floor. It is due for completion in late 2016.

Nick Hunts BNZ Centre, formerly Cashel Square, has

reached its full height on Hereford Street and this part is due

for completion in late 2015. The Cashel Street part opposite

Ballantynes is having its foundation work done and will soon

start to show some above ground works.

Tim Glassons Triangle Centre is progressing with its

completion due in late 2016. The Carter Groups Crossing

site has now been cleared and work is due to begin soon on

this important part of the Retail Precinct. This will include the

first off street public car parking building in our new CBD.

My Terrace development never really stopped and the full

scale of three of the four buildings along Oxford Terrace are

now complete. This part is expected to open in October

2015 with the rest of the development completed by the end

of 2016.

Grand Central on the old Grand Chancellor site has had

its contract awarded to Fletcher Construction and site works

on this seven storey building shall commence in May 2015.

The year 2015 will see a significant amount of our CBD

complete and 2016 will see most of the remaining projects

complete in the new CBD. It is all go in the city now.

Along with all this building activity we have started this

year with a lively Buskers Festival followed by the opening of

the second loop of the tram. This coincides with the opening

of the Cricket World Cup in mid-February. More events are

planned for Christchurch with the Kapa Haka competitions

and then the World Cup under 20s Football (soccer for

some of us) to hit us in June. We will be getting international

exposure with all these events in Christchurch which will be

fantastic for the city. Bring on 2015.

ew Zealand Property Investor magazine

Ncomments that the general feeling is prices will continue to track up, rents should improve, interest rates wont jump off the scale, and the

Government doesnt have too many surprises up its

sleeve. A similar year to that of last year and steady as

she goes.

Aaron Drew, New Zealand Property Investor chief

economist sees the growth outlook as fairly supportive

for property investors, with the New Zealand economic

activity likely to remain fairly good, and this will filter

through to a buoyant property market. Statistics New

Zealand is predicting annual net migration for 2015 to sit

around $54,000, with 2016 expecting in the vicinity of

$33,000, looking lighter again in 2017 with a predicted

12,000.

The government is promising to address the housing

supply challenge this year by freeing land supply,

reducing building material costs, reining in development

contributions, cutting compliance costs and investing in

skills and productivity in the construction sector. Building

and Housing manager Nick Smith adds that the

government will be keeping its foot on the accelerator in

2015, with the planned second phase of the Resource

Management Act reforms.

The 2015 year has kicked off to a steady-paced start with sales leading the way in to the New Year with

momentum, followed by listings increasing in numbers as each week passes, with Xmas now a distant

memory. February and March will continue to be strong months with strong buyer demand and activity.

Managing the paperwork around your claims

We know managing the repair process can

be a nightmare, but so can managing your

paperwork. File all of your paperwork safely,

to be able to show the paper trail for when

you come to sell, this includes Statement of

Claims, Scope of Works, Change of Scopes

where relevant, and Sign-offs (many forget to

follow Fletchers up for their sign-offs. Check

you have this handy).

In the case of managing your own repair

process, retain the copy of your payout,

invoices and receipts for work you have

employed tradesmen. In the event of cash

paid repairs and self- repairs, write how you

have repaired the damage, what you used,

when, and take photos. This is extremely

important in handing over the history and

evidence of your repairs on point of sale, not

just for the buyers, but for the insurer and

banks.

Happy Real Estate! Thinking of selling, call

Debbie today 03 3516166 or 0274328279.

EQC has come a long way since the

Christchurch quake series, and were

maintaining momentum to get each

claim resolved as soon as possible in 2015.

To date, the Canterbury Home Repair

Programme (CHRP) has repaired more

than 93 per cent of homes in the

programme, with around 900 underway,

and a few thousand homes to go.

Our aim is that by April 2015, every

homeowner in CHRP will have their home

fixed, their repair underway, or will know

Whats happening with EQC in Canterbury in 2015?

What happens after April?

As generally applies with insurance, EQC

requires an excess payment. From April,

EQC will begin posting invoices for

excess on completed CHRP repairs,

which is one of the final steps for

completing building repairs in Canterbury.

Excess amounts have already been

deducted from payments to customers

whose claims have been cash settled.

This includes payments made for

damage to land, contents as well as

buildings (in cases when damage was

under $15,000 or over EQC cap, and opt-

outs from the managed repair).

The recovered excess is invested in the

Natural Disaster Fund to be available for

future natural events covered by EQC.

By April 2015, EQCs aim is for every customer in the Canterbury

Home Repair Programme (CHRP) to either have their home

repaired or know how and when their claim will be settled.

Help is available

EQC will call CHRP customers who have yet

to decide how to settle their claim to discuss

how they wish to proceed and talk about

options that may make it easier for them.

Home owners who have not had a scope

since this time last year can have a no-

obligation detailed scope to give them more

We also know some people are reluctant

to have a managed repair because theyre

concerned theyll have to move out of their

home while the work is being done. We can

identify contractors who can carry out the

repairs with the homeowners still in

residence.

how and when their claim will be settled,

EQCs general manager for CHRP, Reid

Stiven, says.

EQC aims to give every customer

certainty and the confidence to move on

with their lives. To that end, EQC is working

with homeowners who have challenging

personal circumstances to discuss their

options and how to help them progress

their claim.

We will not compromise on quality or

cost to meet deadlines, Reid says.

information on which to base a decision,

without committing themselves to a

managed repair. A scope gives people an

assessment of the earthquake damage to

their home, the best repair strategies and

the average cost of these, Reid says.

Another option is to have a combination of

a partial managed repair and a partial cash

settlement.

This could work where, say, someone

wanted a managed repair on the outside of

their home but wanted to cash settle for the

interior work, so they could use their own

contractors later.

Agility Asbestos is a fully

licensed and accredited

Christchurch owned

company offering all

forms of asbestos

remediation, consultancy

and testing.

For us, it's all about safety.

Recognising the inherent risk and

consequential importance of

asbestos removal and remediation

by professionally trained crews, Harry

added a specialist branch to the firm post-

quake. This branch is dedicated to the safe

removal of asbestos in both residential and

commercial properties, to support both the

earthquake repairs and all other building

work.

A set of minerals characterised by their

small fibres, asbestos increased in

popularity as a construction material from

1940 to 1990 and is now commonly found in

textured and flat plaster ceilings, lath and

plaster walls and ceilings, soffit linings,

exterior wall cladding, roofing, guttering,

down pipes, fencing, vinyl floors, tiles, fuse

boards, fire board and heat resistant

lagging.

Asbestos awareness are you safe?

And, although asbestos is generally quite

safe to remain in our homes, the risks arise

when materials containing asbestos are

damaged, removed or broken up, allowing

the fine particles to become airborne and

breathed in, or settling on carpets and

furniture.

If you breathe this dust in, fibres can get

stuck in your lungs and body, which can

cause asbestosis and other lung cancers,

explains head of Agilitys specialist asbestos

team Chuck Napier.

But many people underestimate the

danger of asbestos because symptoms

generally dont appear until 550 years after

exposure.

Chuck is passionate about eliminating the

dangers of asbestos, not only because of

his role in construction, but also because

he has lost friends to asbestos exposure.

Even if your house was built before the

1940s, there is still a big risk that asbestos

was used in any renovations carried out

during that period, he says.

Asbestos presence is not something you

can make an assumption about, even after

years in the construction game. Testing is

critical.

The experienced

Agility Asbestos

team has all the

legal certifications

and qualifications

required to

undertake

asbestos

remediation, using

the latest equipment,

technology and safety

procedures.

When it comes to your

earthquake repairs or home

renovations and you have any concerns, call

Agility Asbestos Remediation Solutions who

can come and take a sample before

suggesting the best course of action. Dont

risk your family.

The Christchurch earthquake has

resulted in an improvement in asbestos

standards within New Zealand. This has

meant we are moving towards equalling

practices in Australia and Britain, who are

seen as the world leaders in asbestos

removal, and we want to ensure this keeps

up, Chuck says.

New Zealand has a real shell be right

mate attitude and when it comes to

asbestos, that attitude can be costly.

Asbestos Remediation Solutions can help

you assess and remediate asbestos in your

home or business phone 389 2219 or visit

For more than 15 years, the team at

Harry Fellows, Managing Director of

increasingly aware of the danger of

and the partners

and staff of

be working

with Antony, Harcourt

and Tracy Gough

in The Terrace

development and the

Christchurch rebuild.

Ph.+64 3 3772900 www.mmlaw.co.nz

The logo, with its linear pathways

spelling out The Terrace represent

the laneways which will be a key

feature of the completed development, while

the word The stands on its side because

nothing I ever do is straight up and down,

Antony laughs.

Ground breaking

development ramps up

Everything I do has a story behind it, even

if its just something as simple as a business

card.

Theres quite the story behind the ground

breaking development itself.

The first major rebuild development in the

central city, Antony promised to combine the

best global urban design with an iconic

location overlooking the Avon River.

It was bold, vibrant and modern

everything Christchurch desperately needed.

While the February 2011 earthquake had

devastating effects on the hospitality

precinct that was the Oxford Terrace Strip,

Antony says it provided an opportunity to

create a space that was even bigger and

better.

Made up of buildings of various styles,

forms and levels facing

inwards to a central piazza,

construction on the multi-stage

development started in

September 2013.

After a lull while some of the finer

points were ironed out construction is

now ramping up and the three buildings

on Oxford Terrace are expected to open by

early 2016.

The primary and secondary steel works

have been completed and the next step is

the con-floor or steel decking, then the

claddings come last. The shape and size is

really starting to show its form, Antony says.

The Hereford Street building will also be

up, but wont be occupied until 2016 while

Westpacs six storey building on the corner

of Oxford

Terrace

and Cashel

Street will

house 450

bank staff when

it opens in late-2016.

Concerned about central

city carparking or lack thereof Antony

has included plans for a 400 space

carparking building, with half available as

permanent parks and half for casual use.

The year-long construction of the

carparking building will begin in May and

will provide some much needed parking in

the retail precinct.

Carparking will get worse in the central

city, he says.

Carter Group and The Terrace are the

only two public parking buildings planned

within the central zone. If it isnt so critical

why is it that malls utilise 50 percent of their

available space as parking?

We are bringing some exciting hospitality

providers to Christchurch. Its an exciting

time for everyone in the central city, why

wouldnt you want to be here? Gough says.

Brownlee hailed Gough as the central

city's greatest champion who had been

incredibly positive about the recovery from

the onset. And, one things for sure, after

spending an hour with Antony himself, I

wholeheartedly agree. Hes got

Christchurchs back.
