Editors note.

Prime Minister Hon. John Key, Anthony Gough and

MP Megan Woods discuss rebuild progress in the

city centre, in this issues Influencers columns on

pages 4-5.

Diamond Harbour design has next

generation in mind pages 44-45

From a simple Box to commercial

premises success page 7

of central city landmark pages 35-40

Street art has been stimulating our inner city streetscapes since the

Rise Festival began in December 2013 and, although its been a

year since the three month long festivals conclusion, its vibrancy

has remained a key feature of our inner city style.

Theres new artworks popping up every week, the visiting of which can

chew through an entire day for a central city newcomer. From Owen

Dippies trio of elephants on Manchester Street, to Buff Monster's Kiwi

Melty Misfits on the side of Durham Streets Underground Coffee HQ and

Adnate's outstretched hands on Kilmore Street, Christchurchs street art is

loud, proud and stands out in a crowd. Its everything we want for our city.

Because Christchurch the new Christchurch is all about doing things a

little differently.

The striking river inspired building at 151 Cambridge Terrace stands in

testament to this and we look into its completion on pages 35-40. We talk

to international planner and economist David McInnes who tells us, quite

emphatically, that Christchurch planning requires new blood and new ideas

and, with our ever-popular Influencers columns, we have engaged with

some of the citys key stakeholders about their plans for the future.

After the earthquakes people were energised by the prospect of a new city,

new perspectives and a new way of doing things and, while the revolution

continues, we need ensure this momentum doesnt ease.

British novelist L.P Hartley once wrote The past is another country, they do

things differently there and, although it remains to be seen how far

Christchurch will push the boundaries, what we do know is outstanding

results come from unleashing the imagination.

Together lets continue to innovate, push the boundaries and feed our city

with new ideas, because as they say you have to break the rules if you

want to change the world.

4 March 2015 Canterbury Rebuild

CanterburyRebuild - The Influencers

Eugenie Sage

Green party MP

Last month we marked four years since the February

earthquake. For most of us, we remember it like

yesterday. Four years is both a long time and not

long enough.

Its been far too long for democracy to be suspended.

The earthquake emergency is long gone and Canterbury

Earthquake Recovery Authoritys (CERA) emergency

powers need to be reduced. Central Government needs to

give back to the City Council the powers to make

decisions on the district plan review, City facilities and City

spaces.

The major public backlash and controversy over CERAs

proposed revamp of Victoria Square is the most recent

example of CERAs grandiose plans being out of step with

what Christchurch citizens need and want and what we

can afford.

Victoria Square is a relaxing green space where people

can enjoy the river, native plantings, and sitting on the

grass in the shade of trees. Its layout and landscape

design have won awards. Victoria Square isnt broken and

it doesnt need to be tampered with.

When so much has changed and so many of the

buildings and spaces that located us in central

Christchurch have gone, Victoria Square is a rare familiar

place, one that is essentially the same, post quakes.

If the Government dumped the Victoria Square revamp

and some of CERAs other extravagant central city and

anchor projects, it could instead fund a greater share of

the repair costs for the horizontal infrastructure.

There are potential savings of at least $300 million, just

from not proceeding with the sports stadium ($243 million);

the extravagant $25 million childrens playground, and the

riverbank concreting and other work planned along the

Avon-Otakaro River as part of the $98 million river park

project.

When the City Council is grappling with a major funding

shortfall, we need a reality check. The Council needs to

scrutinise its spending plans more closely. So does

CERA. The grandiose thinking which drove the 100 day

blueprint needs to be scaled back and the Government

should re-negotiate the cost sharing agreement between

the Crown and the City Council.

Not doing so will cost Christchurch citizens dearly if the

Council proceeds to sell down our shares in the Lyttelton

Port Company, Orion and Christchurch Airport and reduce

the dividend income which has kept city rates low.

As weve just marked the fourth anniversary of

the devastating February 2011 earthquake, its

appropriate to take stock of the progress

thats been made in the rebuild and look forward to

the year ahead.

Much progress has been made on the rebuild so

far and this will be a year of momentum, with the

previous years of planning now coming to fruition

and the rise of several anchor projects.

The first anchor project to be completed, the

Cricket Oval in Hagley Park, was on the world stage

during the ICC 2015 Cricket World Cup opening

ceremony and the pool matches held in

Christchurch.

This was an occasion for the city to show how far it

has come since the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes and

proved to be highly successful.

This year will continue to be a busy one for events

in Christchurch, and in rebuilding progress.

Later this year, Christchurch will be hosting several

matches in another major world sporting event the

FIFA U20 World Cup as well as hosting the only All

Blacks test match this year on 17 July.

In the next few months the Bus Interchange will

open and the Margaret Mahy Family Playground is

set to open for the community to enjoy.

Work is also progressing well on the Canterbury

Earthquake Memorial. Six designs have been short-

listed and the public now has a chance to have its

say on which design is best.

This will be an important legacy for the city so Id

encourage you all to have your say during the public

feedback process, which closes on 15 March.

A decision on the preferred design is expected to

be made by May this year, with the memorial

intended to be completed next year.

Ive made several visits to Christchurch and the

Waimakariri region over recent months and have

been moved by the way the region and its people

have embraced the rebuild and the opportunity it

brings to build an even better, more modern and

vibrant city.

Im looking forward to seeing the rebuild progress

and gain momentum as I continue to visit the region

over the course of the year.

Rt Hon John Key

Prime Minister

Dr Megan Woods

Labour party MP

Christchurch city has heeded the century-old maxim

to go west. In its nineteenth century American

context, the directive was to expand in a westward

direction because the fertile farmland was viewed as an

ideal place. In twenty-first century Christchurch, the solid

and relatively undamaged land in the south-west and west

of the city is similarly seen as ideal place for people to put

up sticks.

Of course if we are going to see our city expand and

change we have to embrace the Resource Management

Act. This is an act that has been unfairly claimed for

Aucklands housing problems but is still the key control on

planning anarchy in our suburbs. Too often we see the

RMA painted as a bureaucratic monster rather than the

watchdog for the little guy.

We will need good planning more than ever as homes

and business are flourishing in the west of Christchurch.

Addington and Riccarton have become satellite CBDs,

Hornby is a hub of thriving activity. And all around, new

homes are springing up in the new subdivisions albeit

not at a rate to quench the demand for housing in post-

quake Christchurch. The rapid and largely unplanned west-

ward expansion of the city has thrown up some interesting

planning dilemmas for the city and local neighbourhoods.

With businesses and more houses come traffic and

lots of it. Traffic congestion is something that is now normal

in our city; as are parking woes in the suburbs where

impromptu CBDs have flourished. Locals in Addington and

Russley have found themselves parked out of their local

streets as workers battle for somewhere to park up for the

day. Over in Avonhead, new land-use in the form of a

business park has led to locals concerned that the whole

nature of their neighbourhood will be changed forever.

Locals in Hei Hei are currently grappling with a quarry

literally in their backyard.

As I have said central to solving all of this, is the

Resource Management Act. We cant allow this important

legislation, which for all its faults, is still the bible for

planners across New Zealand to be fatally weakened when

it comes to the environment. We have to remember that 97

per cent of applications under the RMA are dealt without

conflict. It is frankly risible that this legislation is responsible

for Aucklands housing woes. This canard is being used as

an excuse to weaken and subvert the RMA.

We have to start seeing this legislation as our critical

friend in protecting our neighbourhoods and not as the evil

source of red tape.



Nick Doig Collier Int. (Agency)

Retail Specialist

Antony Gough Central city

developer


What a fantastic start to 2015 we have had in

Christchurch. First we had the Buskers

Festival and then the opening of the Cricket

World Cup. The city is full of visitors giving a real

cosmopolitan feel to our region.

On the 12th of February the Prime Minister opened

the trams second loop down Cashel Street. The only

problem has been visitors trying to find a seat on it as

it is being so well patronised. This now links the north

and south sides of the CBD which allows people to

see most of the core CBD by taking the tram rides.

The bus exchange is progressing well with its

unusual roof form and this is due to open in mid-2015

The neighbouring Justice Precinct is now out of the

ground and soon we will see its actual form. These

buildings are set back off Lichfield Street in order to

create a sunny front entrance to the buildings.

Meanwhile work progresses at a pace along

Cambridge Terrace and Durham Street with buildings

rising out of the ground all along here. The new PWC

building on the old Aged Concern site on the corner of

Cashel Street and Cambridge Terrace is on its way

now.

Further down Cashel Street on the corner of

Montreal Street is the Warren and Mahoney building.

This building is well advanced with its steel frame

showing above the street hoarding.

It is the retail precinct that really has active building

happening across four separate sites. 2015 and 2016

will be the primary rebuild years.

There is a new smaller office building going up

along High Street opposite the Triangle Centre.

A tram trip around both loops will take you about 50

minutes and is a great way to see what is happening in

the CBD. With your tram ticket lasting two days it will

allow you to hop on and off as often as you like. Coffee

in New Regent Street, visit the museum for the

fantastic poster exhibition, then around the new loop to

RE:Start. Stop at Ballantynes for some retail therapy

and then down to Stranges Lane for an afternoon

tipple. Our CBD is really coming alive.

The ICC Cricket World Cup has provided Christchurch

and Canterbury with a one off profiling opportunity.

The extraordinary attendance at the opening

ceremony on Thursday 12 February was a real celebration

of a community that is firmly involved in the recovery and

rebuild, and has a lot to be proud about. More importantly

the comparative attendance at the New Zealand opening

in Christchurch compared to the Australian opening in

Melbourne was obvious to anyone watching television

(and there was an enormous international television

audience).

The ensuing games in Christchurch have provided an

attractive spectacle to attendees and the world at large.

The Black Caps are proudly representing this country and

increasingly being recognised worldwide as a team to be

reckoned with. That in itself will ensure that New Zealands

profile and therefore the citys profile can only be

enhanced.

There has been much discussion about the economic

opportunities that will result from beyond hosting the World

Cup. From a Christchurch perspective the big opportunity

was to demonstrate that our city is back up and running

and that we are open and hungry for business. While the

business opportunities have been relatively low profile

there have been various delegations visiting Christchurch

in conjunction with the World Cup (particularly from the

UK, Australia, Sri Lanka and India) and existing

relationships are being enhanced by overseas visitors

catching up with locally based companies. Of course new

opportunities will evolve through one on one matchings

as a result of many influential business people attending

the games in New Zealand.

From my perspective the real value is galvanising our

community in a positive context; demonstrating to anyone

who wants to know that we are highly effective, functioning

and attractive city; reinforcing the message that there is a

lot going on in Canterbury (but with a long way to go with

our rebuild which in itself provides opportunities); and that

from a wider Canterbury context we are particularly well

positioned to provide high value produce and products to

a demanding world.

By my reckoning we are now close to 30 percent into the

rebuild and it is only going to get better.

Bring on the FIFA Under 20 Word Cup in June.

All eyes are now on the Christchurch CBD retail

precinct, as significant new builds in the central

city start to take shape.

Clothing retailer Hallenstein Glasson is the first deal to

be signed with plans for a new flagship store in the ANZ

Centre on the corner of Cashel, Colombo and High

Streets its second biggest in New Zealand.

The 903m2 space will encompass Glassons on the

ground floor and Hallensteins on level one. It will mimic

the highly successful model opened in Wellingtons

Lambton Quay late in 2013.

Theres no doubt that such confidence is

encouraging other retailers to take action.

Were currently negotiating with several other major

retailers new to New Zealand, who are expressing

strong interest in the central city rebuild and the

potential it provides to launch their brands here. We

hope to announce several of these retailers as the year

progresses. Smaller retailers are also starting to

indicate their preference. A pharmacy has just signed

for a 300m2 statement site in the BNZ Centre, formerly

known as Cashel Square. This is home to the highest

concentration of office workers in the retail precinct,

spanning a significant frontage of Cashel St through to

Hereford St.

Its clear that retailers both Australian and smaller

boutique retailers currently housed in the likes of

Re:START, are excited about the emerging shape of the

precinct. The Crossing is attracting significant interest;

retailers impressed by the $120 million development

that will be a cornerstone to the precinct. Laneways and

courtyards will link a variety of retail and hospitality

tenants, with an integrated 630 car parking building a

key feature.

Right along Cashel St, from High St through to the

Bridge of Remembrance, is the absolute prime stretch

for retail, and is becoming increasingly attractive as

major office tenants commit to the CBD. By the end of

2017, its predicted that there will be 15,000 office

workers within 300 metres of the Retail Precinct.

HNZ restores local housing

Out of disaster often comes opportunity and it is this philosophy

that is driving Housing New Zealand as it enters the final year of

its massive earthquake recovery programme in Canterbury.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key

(left) was impressed with the quality of

Housing New Zealands new Church

Square development in the Christchurch

suburb of Addington. He met new tenant

Paul Meek who was excited to be moving

into his new two-bedroom home.

The earthquakes impact on

Housing New Zealands

Canterbury stock was massive

with more than 95 percent of its 6200

properties damaged.

Many were uneconomic to repair, others

were located in the red zone and

thousands of others required repairs so

they could continue to be safe for

tenants.

The Government charged Housing

New Zealand with delivering a

comprehensive programme of work that

would see up to 5000 earthquake-

damaged properties repaired and up to

700 new homes built.

When completed by the end of 2015,

the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery

Programme (CERP) will restore its

Canterbury housing stock to pre-

earthquake levels but greatly modernise

its social housing stocks.

An earthquake recovery team was

formed to handle the huge job of co-

ordinating the repairs needed urgently,

ensuring tenants were looked after,

recruiting contractors and others to help

with the repairs and to begin co-

ordinating the programme of repairs

and new builds.

CERP general manager Paul

Commons leads a team that includes

contractors, architects and other

professionals.

MWH and Arrow International were

contracted to oversee and co-ordinate

the delivery of the minor and major

repairs respectively.

Co-ordinated programme

Approximately, 1000 workers

are involved in all Housing

New Zealand repair and new

home build programmes in

Canterbury. Repairs are

organised on a suburb-by-

suburb, street-by-street basis

as much as possible to make

it easier for both contractors

and tenants.

Housing New Zealand has separated

the repair programme into two streams

of activity: the minor repair programme

including repairs usually between

$12,000 and $25,000 and the major

programme which covers more

complicated and expensive repairs

($80,000 upwards), typically involving

foundation and other structural damage.

Paul says repairing earthquake-

damaged properties is a key part of the

overall programme to improve the

quality of its social housing stock in the

region. An average of about 200 repairs

are completed each month. More than

1000 contractors working across 16

suburbs are involved in this programme

of work.

Paul says repairing earthquake-

damaged properties also provides an

opportunity to improve the quality of its

social housing stock in the region. Floor

coverings, ventilation, heating, insulation

and other upgrades have been

incorporated into the repairs.

Tenants the priority

The team also includes a group of

Tenancy Liaison staff whose role is

to support tenants who need to

have repairs carried out at their

properties.

In many cases, tenants can continue

living in their home while repairs are

done but sometimes, it is easier for them

if they are temporarily relocated to

alternative accommodation while the

repairs are carried out.As required,

tenants are moved into temporary

accommodation during repairs and

Housing New Zealand arranges furniture

storage, rubbish removal, transport and

other support. Every effort is taken to

minimise disruption as much as

possible for tenants during

repairs which can be

inconvenient and stressful.

Programme on target

Paul says it is encouraging

repairs are ahead of schedule at

the start of what will be the

busiest year for Housing New

Zealand in Canterbury. It is also

on track to complete the

construction of up to 700 new homes

across greater Christchurch by the end

of 2015.

Paul says there are many moving

parts to the programme but a well co-

ordinated management effort across

different arms of Housing New Zealand,

its contractors, building partners and

tenants meant the programme, that

involves $300 million-plus in building

repairs and construction had tracked

well and was on schedule to achieve a

challenging target.

As at the end of February this year,

there had been 3374 completed repairs

and 159 new homes built across the

city.

The new builds programme is helping

modernise Housing New Zealands

stock across the city with new warm,

dry homes under construction

throughout Canterbury.

Suburbs throughout Christchurch

from the citys western areas like

Riccarton through to communities in the

citys east like Aranui and Shirley, which

sustained some of the worst damage in

the earthquakes are getting new

social housing.

Prime Minister highly supportive

An example of a new development is

at Addingtons Church Square. Three

separate sections that each

accommodated a three-bedroom house

were amalgamated into one title and 10

new two-bedroom homes were built on

the new enlarged site.

AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT 200

REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED EACH

MONTH. MORE THAN 1000

CONTRACTORS WORKING ACROSS

16 SUBURBS ARE INVOLVED IN

THIS PROGRAMME OF WORK.

transported to and from Rolleston Prison.

AS AT THE END OF

FEBRUARY THIS YEAR,

HOUSING NEW

ZEALAND HAD

COMPLETED 3374

REPAIRS AND BUILT

159 NEW HOMES

ACROSS THE CITY.

Late last year, New Zealand Prime

Minister John Key visited this new

development.

He was very impressed with the

quality of the housing and also spoke to

a very happy tenant, Paul Meek, who

said he was thrilled to have been

offered a brand-new

home.

I just love it, he

told the Prime

Minister.

Older properties

are also getting

plenty of attention in

the earthquake

recovery

programme.

Second Chances for all

An innovative partnership between

Housing New Zealand and the

Department of Corrections is already

paying dividends.

Over the next few years, houses will

be transported to Rolleston Prison, on

the southern outskirts of Christchurch

where prisoners, under supervision,

upgrade the houses.

At the same time, the prisoners have

the chance to upskill their qualifications,

raise their self-esteem, keep themselves

busy while in prison and help breathe

new life in those houses.

The construction yard at the prison site

has about 50 houses either undergoing

repairs or waiting on the site to be placed

into the main

construction yard

where work on them

can begin.

The joint Housing

New Zealand and

Department of

Corrections

refurbishment

programme has

already seen four

completely renovated properties moved

to an Aranui site where families now

enjoy the warm, revitalised homes.

Over time, 150 homes in need of

refurbishment will be taken to Rolleston

Prison where prisoners will upgrade them

while, at the same time, upskilling their

own qualifications and self-esteem. Once

completed, they are transported back

onto sites where they are connected to

services, landscaping undertaken and

other site work is completed.

The work included recladding, rewiring

and replumbing the houses. In some

cases, the layout of the house is

changed so they can be better

configured for future tenants.

The programme has been dubbed the

Second Chance scheme. It offers a

second chance to the prisoners, some

of whom have found building-related

jobs after their release and a second

chance for the houses.

Paul says the agency is pleased to be

able help provide training opportunities

for prisoners, while getting to recycle

houses.

"At the end we get modern and fit-

for-purpose housing for people

in need,"he says.

The earthquakes created a rare

opportunity to not only modernise

existing homes but to add more new

properties into the region he says.

By the end of 2015, the Canterbury

portfolio will be the most up-to-date in

the country.

Post 2015, more new social housing

will continue to be developed throughout

Canterbury as Housing New Zealand

further modernises its stock and

continues being the social housing

provider of choice.

INTRODUCING THE NEW STONE AGE

There is nothing more durable, more natural, more breathtaking,

than stone produced by Mother Nature. A modular stone

system combining the ease of brick installation with the beauty

of natural SCHIST. Hand selected schist pieces of the highest

quality embedded in a preformed concrete module.

This modular system significantly reduces the material and labour

costs associated with traditional stone installation, where individual

pieces of stone must be painstakingly cut, set and mortared

by a stonemason.

methodology and cost control from a

real world perspective.

Building is not like it used to be

where you go to the architect to get

the designs, then go to tender, says

Quin. ECI makes the process smoother

and more cost effective. You know the

outcomes, you know what to expect and

there are no surprises.

Stephen described Southbases input

as outstanding. Having known Henderson

for years, he knew the consistent quality

and efficiency Quin and his expert team

could deliver.

While this was the first major job for

Southbase, I knew the people behind

the company had a great reputation for

delivering project on time and on budget,

Stephen says. I was never in any doubt

they could do it.

The considerable expertise and insight

sitting behind the scenes at Southbase

certainly built confidence too. Sitting

below parent company Henderson Carter

Gough (HCG), a strong governance board

ensures Southbase is well positioned

and ready to provide significant input into

further construction in Christchurch.

From our perspective, construction

shouldnt be tailored to the industry,

says Quin. The earlier we can get

alongside the client and the more we

can understand what theyre trying to

achieve helps with how we can best

position and provide our experience and

fresh thinking.

Other key parts of the project

collaborative team were engineering and

specialist technical service firm Aurecon

and architecture firm Jasmax.

Christchurch has changed, the market

has changed, the way in which we design

projects has changed, says Jazmax

project architect Ken Powrie. And just

as Christchurch has the opportunity for a

new future based upon these changes so

too does the construction industry,

A collaborative working ethos makes

the most of these changes by challenging

the traditional construction and

development platforms so prevalent within

the industry.

Jasmax Architects approached GRCNZ

looking for a lightweight, seismically

engineered concrete cladding for the west

wall. Paul Williams,

custom manufacturer of Glassfibre

Reinforced Concrete GRCNZ,

describes the project as one of the

countrys most striking and yet safe

architectural examples.

Its fantastic to be involved in the early

rebuild with another landmark project,

Paul says. More so in the fact its a highly

engineered base-isolated building which

will stand the test of time.

This longevity is a huge focus for both

the man behind the project and the

greater team around him.

Im an investor, not a developer,

Stephen explains. So Im extremely

fortunate to have been able to make the

connections that have produced such a

successful outcome.

Regardless of the cost, its been worth

it. That I have had the opportunity to

develop such strong relationships with

companies who have collaborated so well

makes me exceptionally proud.

Its satisfying to have completed a

build which by every definition is of the

highest quality and safety specs of this

level will probably never be built again,

he laughs. Weve created a legacy here.

Its been done once and constructed to

be the best. Stephens brief has been met.

A collaborative working ethos

makes the most of these

changes by challenging the

traditional construction and

development platforms so

prevalent within the industry.
