Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority
In 2014 CERA developed a draft residential chapter titled A Liveable City to add to the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan. The draft chapter proposed some changes to the Christchurch City Plan (the District Plan). Global Research was contracted to develop a questioning approach which efficiently and effectively measured stakeholders’ and citizens’ opinions on the draft chapter and to also complete the collation, synthesis, analysis and reporting on all received comments.
Christchurch was devastated by earthquakes in 2011. This significantly disrupted residential and business land supply, as some land could no longer be lived or worked on.
The Environment Canterbury Regional Council (ECAN) & Partners were tasked with putting land use policies and rules in place to assist rebuilding and recovery of communities (including housing and businesses).
Broad engagement with the community was desired to identify interests and issues to inform the Land Use Recovery Plan (LURP).
