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.

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.

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.

stock to pre-quake levels
Social housing is being redefined with these properties at, from left,
Halswell, Riccarton and Phillipstown, examples of the new-look housing
being built as part of the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Programme.
Aranui complex consisting of four properties
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.
