Christchurch�Earthquake�Recovery�Rebuild
This�ICN�project�support�activity�is�a�partnership�between�ICN�NZ�and�ICN�Vic�to�help�provide�additional�local
(Australia�and�New�Zealand)�resources�to�collaborate�in�the�rebuild�of�
Christchurch.
Christchurch�Earthquake�Reconstruction�Why�is�ICN�involved?
� The scale of the Christchurch earthquake damage is such that NewZealand does not have the resources necessary to permit a rebuild in anacceptable time frame.
� The ICN is the well equipped organisation to identify and connect thenecessary best fit, additional supply chains, skills and servicesrequirements to achieve a speedy and cost effective recovery ofChristchurch.
� Australia and New Zealand have along history in helping one another indisaster assistance and the recovery projects that follow provide anenvironment for innovation and new technology, as well as the advantageof having a number of common Australian and New Zealand building &construction standards.

The�key�Agencies�involved�Canterbury�Earthquake�Recovery�Authority�(CERA)�was�set�up�in�March�2011,�by�the�New�Zealand�Government�as�the�lead�recovery�agency�coordinating�the�activities�of�Government,�councils,�and�the�people�of��Canterbury.
As�part�of�CERA,�SCIRT�(Stronger�Christchurch�Infrastructure�Rebuild�Team)�has�been�set�up�and�is�responsible�for�the�reinstatement�of�roads�and�essential�services��using�an�alliance�team�made�up�of�Fletcher�Construction�JV�with�McConnell�Dowell,�Downer�EDI,�Fulton�Hogan�and�City�Works,�as�well�as�most�of�the�major�civil�contractors�in�the�country.
Also�as�part�of�CERA,�CCDU�– Christchurch�Central�Development�Unit�was�set�up�to�manage�the�CBD�reconstruction�activity.

Next�Steps�for�ICN�in�the�Rebuild�activity�
– Work�with�our�ICN�NZ�office,�New�Zealand�Government’s�Ministry�of�Business,�Industry�and�Employment,�CERA�(Canterbury�Earthquake�Recovery�Authority�–including�their�rebuild�procurement�managers)�CCDU,�SCIRT�and�CDC�(Canterbury�Development�Corporation),�and�Christchurch�rebuild�project�proponents�and�project�directors�to�identify�shortfalls�in�construction�resources�in�the�rebuild�that�could�be�taken�up�by�Victorian��/�Australian�industry�capability.
– Create�and�promote�defined�pathway�to�collaboration�for�industry�to�take�into�the�rebuild.
– Match�make�Victorian�/�Australian�industry�capability�with�NZ�Industry�to�from�collaborative�partnerships�to�increase�NZ�rebuild�construction�capacity.
– Promote�opportunities�in�the�rebuild�for�Victorian�/�Australian��and�New�Zealand�constructors�that�ICN�believes�are�being�overlooked.��
Next�Steps�for�ICN�in�the�Rebuild�activity�– Cont.�• As�the�rebuild,�particularly�the�CBD�of�Christchurch,�where�over�70%�of�the�city�is�in�the�
final�stages�of�being�demolished,�heads�into�the�major�construction�phase�in�2014/�15,�the�demand�for�construction�services�will�increase�dramatically�at�which�point�the�NZ�construction�resources�are�expected�to�be�short�supply.
• Interestingly�of�the�$40B�NZD,�and�an�estimated�$20B�NZD�is�for�domestic�housing�which�remains�an�area�for�consideration.���
• It�is�important�to�note�the�private�sector�reconstruction�continues�to�progress�quickly�and�this�may�impact�on�local�construction�resources.
• In�discussions�held�last�month�in�Christchurch�with�our�ICN�NZ�colleagues�and�key�stakeholders�involved�in�the�rebuild,� some�collaborative�opportunities�have�been�identified��in�some�of�the�supply�chains�for�initial�projects.�
• ICN�has�successfully�introduced�key�Victorian�/�Australian�companies�,�with�millions�of�dollars�in�contracts�being�awarded�to�date�and�a�number�of�heads�of�agreement�contracts�have�been�signed�under�collaboration�agreement�between�Australian�and�NZ�companies�.��
Next�Steps�for�ICN�in�the�Rebuild�activity�– Cont.�• Continue�to�work�with�the�NZ�Government�and�Earthquake�agencies,�Anchor�project�
owners,�developers�and�project�managers�to�ensure�early�identification�of�issues,�supply�chain�gaps,�and�opportunities� for�ANZ�capability.
• Continue�to�work�with�the�Christchurch�Project�owners�and�Project�Managers�to�suggest�they�list�their�projects�onto�ICN�Gateway�to�enable�ANZ�suppliers�the�ability�to�register�their�capability�individual�or�a�combined�collaborative�capability�onto�the�project.
• Continue�on�from�the�discussions�last�month�in�Christchurch�around�strengthening�ANZ�supply�chains�to�those�existing�in�the�rebuild.
• Proposed�upcoming�ICN�lead�mission�to�Christchurch�of�Australian�companies�to�include�presentations�by�the�lead�agencies,�as�well�as�meet�the�buyer/�supplier�sessions�for�collaborative�opportunities,�project�overview�and�city�tour,�meetings�with�project�managers�(Government�and�private��projects),�and�developers.��

Earthquake�reconstruction�scope� 460 kilometres of roads and essential services (water, sewer, storm water, power,
phone, and communications) to be replaced in the CBD area alone.
� There will be now 17 major projects & precincts constructed to form part of thenew CBD (9 of which have been announced by New Zealand’s Minister in charge ofthe Earthquake Recovery – Minister Brownlee back in January 2014, to go toconstruction in 2014).
� Estimated 700+ new commercial buildings in the CBD generally with a maximum of7 stories to replace the 1200+ buildings being demolished. The CommercialBuildings will have a much larger footprint to offset the height constraints.
� 23,000 – 25,000 new houses to replace the red zoned unͲrepairable properties andto cater for the expected 30,000 additional work force required to meet theconstruction needs.
Innovation�in�the�Earthquake�Reconstruction
The�main�constraint�for�the�reconstruction�effort�is�the�availability�of�sufficient�resources�to�permit�a�speedy�recovery.�New�efficient�construction�methods�and�more�offsite�factory�style�modular�construction�will�mean�better�use�of�available�trade�skills.�
