At 4.35am on September 4, 2010, the earth came to life as the seismic current

of a 7.1 magnitude earthquake rippled beneath our sleeping city. The impact

of the resulting 40 seconds of shaking is now part of our collective

consciousness and will be with Canterbury forever.

This month we mark five years since our region lost its tectonic innocence. A lot can

happen in 40 seconds, but even more can happen in five years.

Christchurchs once barren CBD has begun to stir and life is creeping back into this

central space as fences come down and developments spring up. Philip Carters $140

million precinct The Crossing and the $150 million project The Terrace by Antony

Gough are expected to make the city space bigger, bolder and brighter than ever

before. Yet its the residential developments which are expected to play the next big

role in the citys regeneration. Post-quake approximately 1,200 residential dwellings

have been removed from the inner city, half which were apartments or townhouses.

With the councils goal to have 25,000 people living in the city within the next five

years, residential developments are springing up, with around 90 apartments

completed so far, 180 under construction and approximately 200 proposed to be built

in the next two years.

As Harvard economist Ed Glaeser said, cities arent buildings, theyre people and its

Christchurchs human capital which will form the basis for its recovery. Its just a matter

of getting them back there.

This issue we look at the impact residential development could have on the CBD and

we profile two of the latest central city apartment developments. Weve also looked at

some more of the citys most striking new residential assets with the announcement of

the House of the Year Awards for 2015. We take a sneak peak at the countrys first 10

Star built home right here in Christchurch and we look at panelised building, the

expected game-changer of the housing market.

Its been five years, but a lot has transpired. Im not quite sure how to fittingly mark this

occasion in words other than to repeat the beautiful Maori expression which became

the unofficial slogan for Christchurch after the event Kia kaha, stay strong.

Local Labour MP

Antony Gough Major central city

developer

I was taken by Shaun Stockman for a tour of what really

is happening in the area that was to be the South Frame

recently. This is the area between Tuam and down to

South City, east to Barbadoes Street and west to Antigua

Street.

The blue print had this earmarked for a business park

style area with office buildings located in park-like areas

and a wide cycle path running east west down the centre

of the blocks between Tuam and St Asaph Streets. The car

yards were to all move, this area was to be covered by no

more than 50 percent buildings, with the balance being

open grassy areas.

A great vision, but this has slipped the noose and we are

seeing solid infill of one, two and three storey buildings

throughout this area. I do not see this as bad at all and I

think the reality of this turning into a business park area

was a bit ambitious. This area is alive with dozens of new

buildings, cafs and restaurants in every second or third

building, with a real sense of energy here now.

The car yards are here to stay and so they should. These

companies have spent millions of dollars setting up

impressive showrooms that form an important part of our

city. What did surprise me was the reduction of car yards

along Moorhouse Avenue. Many have gone and left large,

open areas of sealed yard with nothing in sight.

Not only are we seeing strong infill of new low rise

businesses and offices here, but residential is also

showing up. There is the brand new Ramada Inn Hotel of

Tuam Street between Madras and Barbadoes Streets and

a brand new apartment style hotel south of St Asaph Street

between Colombo and Manchester Streets.

Fletchers have taken over the huge Electrolux site near

Smiths City Market and cleared the site. They are about to

build over 100 residential units here. Other residential units

are appearing in this mixed use area as part of commercial

developments. It is this growth of residential in this area of

our central city that has got me really excited.

Once you get people living in the CBD, the city changes

from being a 9-5 city to one that is alive 24 hours a day. We

need people to live in our central city and to my surprise,

this is the area this residential CBD is growing from.

So I feel south of the Hereford Street has found its new

form and it will be a fantastic area to stroll around in. It is

well worth a stop off for coffee or lunch at any one of the

many new offerings here.

Nationals economic strategy has bet the farm on

high international dairy prices rather than building

a diversified, research and development focussed

export sector. The slump in global dairy prices has

highlighted the pitfalls of this and the industrial agriculture

model.

The Governments strategy of big subsidies for

irrigation, including for schemes such as Central Plains

Water, has encouraged dairy farmers to chase the peaks

in milk supply, regardless of the costs to water quality,

biodiversity, and our climate.

Farmers have piled on land, debt, cows, supplementary

feed like palm kernel, and irrigation to maximise

production. This has sharply increased farm costs. It

means the dairy industry is much more vulnerable and

less resilient to swings in the world commodity prices, and

to droughts like the one in North Canterbury. Rural

communities are hurting with the current crash in dairy

payouts. Yet instead of focusing on adding value, Fonterra

continues to push to raise milk supply from 20 billion litres

today to 30 billion litres in 2025.

We need a productive and thriving primary sector. It is a

major contributor to Canterbury and the national economy.

But we need to focus more on building value instead of

volume.

We will never win just as a bulk commodity producer.

But the 100% Pure NZ brand is uniquely ours and a great

way to tell our story. Helping our farmers make 100

percent clean, green brand real is the basis for a

sustainable and thriving primary sector.

An effective strategy of adding value also means

recognising that New Zealanders need to own the land,

forests, and productive assets in the value chain, not allow

overseas companies to take huge profits from our natural

resources.

New Zealand is losing ownership of the building blocks

of our economy. Five percent of our productive land has

sold to offshore interests in the last five years. When a

majority of shareholders in large rural supply companies

such as PGG Wrightson are based overseas, then the

profits flow offshore rather than circulating locally.

We need stronger controls on the sale of land and

businesses to overseas interests.

Over the last few weeks there has been a bit of

chatter about whether the Canterbury rebuild

is at its peak. Economists from MBIE,

Westpac and the ASB have all concluded that

spending has reached its peak, while others on the

ground have pointed out that although spending will

be flat, current levels of rebuild associated

expenditure will stick around for another 4-5 years.

On a national level, the rebuild peaking about 9

months earlier than expected has some serious

ramifications. Fixing our city and region has been

contributing about 0.2-0.4 % per quarter to

economic growth over the last 2-3 years. Over the

coming year, Westpacs Dominick Stephens argues

that Canterbury will cease to be part of the growth

story with the rebuild contributing zero growth. From

2017 will be a negative for growth.

What about at the local level? Theres no doubt

that the rebuild has provided a boom that will to an

extent cushion the blow to the region of plummeting

diary prices. But, for me and for Labour that is not

enough. I want post-rebuild Canterbury to be a

contributor to growth in New Zealand as was the

case with pre-quake Canterbury.

The current government has not provided the

leadership required to truly diversify our local

economy. A building boom is not a sustainable

economic development plan, but we have seen little

evidence of thinking from Ministers beyond what

Canterbury is contributing to the nations GDP. There

was not a whisper about sustainable economic

development in the Regenerate Christchurch

announcements.

Locally CDC has been working hard to come up

with a development plan that sees a future beyond

the construction boom, but this has not been

backed up by the National government. There are

opportunities and we need the Government to be in

there boots and all making sure that the conditions

are right for the flourishing of new businesses and

opportunities.


The Influencers -

CanterburyRebuild - The Influencers

Last month, the Metro Sports Facility took another

step forward when we announced details of what

the people of Canterbury can expect to see

included in the facility.

This announcement was met with great excitement

across the sporting codes. The new facility will be hub for

all of Canterburys sports fans, with facilities for elite,

competitive, and leisure athletes.

It will feature a 79m indoor 10-lane competition pool, a

10m diving tower, a learn-to-swim pool and leisure water

area, hydroslides, as well as nine indoor courts for a

multitude of sports, a gym and a caf.

The new facility will give children of all ages, and in all

stages of their sporting development, the opportunity to

rub shoulders with some of New Zealands finest athletes.

The Government has already purchased most of the land

required to develop the facility on a central Christchurch

site between Moorhouse Ave, Stewart Street, St Asaph

Street and Antigua Street, spanning more than

70,000sqm.

The next step is to go to market and find the right people

to design and construct this fantastic facility. I look

forward to checking it out once the first areas open for

use in 2019, or even sooner if possible.

This month we mark the fifth anniversary since the first

earthquake struck on September 4, 2010. Given

everything the region has been through over the past five

years, its encouraging to see more people are feeling

positive about their lives in the latest wellbeing survey.

The recovery is progressing well, but there is still much

more work to do and many people are still dealing with

significant stress.

The National-led Government is committed to keep

driving the momentum of the rebuild and ensuring the city

is an even better place to live, work, and raise a family in.

Flicking through the TV channels recently I came

across another product of the reality TV age,

Undercover Boss.

Even if you havent seen the show, theres a good chance

youre aware of the concept in which the owner of a

company disguises themselves and joins their

employees on the job for a day to find out whats really

happening inside their business.

While my attention span for this sort of programme is

relatively short, what I saw left me thinking about the

value to businesses of honest feedback not just from

staff, but also current and potential customers.

These days, particularly in Christchurchs ever-evolving

market where competition is more fierce than ever,

managing reputational risk is, or should be, a key

component of any business strategy.

In the past, a media statement in the top drawer might

have been considered enough. Not anymore. Social

media and mainstream media once upon a time just

good friends are now in a committed relationship with

each other and the pillow talk can be very damaging, with

one persons online gripe being news within minutes.

But wearing a wig and fake glasses and going

undercover is not the only way to find out what people are

saying about your business or organisation. Other ways

of keeping an ear to the ground include:

Asking your friends and trusted advisors what they are

hearing out in the community Giving your clients

opportunities to provide feedback about their experiences

Using Google Alerts to monitor online chat about your

business or organisation

Undertaking formal market research.

Then, once you know what you dont know, you will have

the foundation of a communications strategy that will

deliver genuine benefits to your business or organisation.

Five years have passed extremely rapidly since the

first earthquake on September 4, 2010. We have all

been through incredible challenges and the trials

of picking ourselves up and rebuilding our city after New

Zealands biggest natural disaster.

Five years down the track we need to take stock of where

we have got to right across our whole community and

explore the continuing challenges and opportunities we

have ahead us. There has been a lot of emphasis on the

central city and the state of key projects and precinct

development. However, important as that is, there has

been a lot of activity going on outside of the central city

moving Christchurch to where it needs to go.

The work going on out of the Port of Lyttelton, at the

University of Canterbury, the massive amount of repair

and reconstruction going on at the Arts Centre and all

the good work that Housing New Zealand is putting in to

repairing and rebuilding its housing stock has gone a

little unnoticed while we have been preoccupied on our

central city.

There are some extremely exciting stories to tell in the

context of the wider Christchurch rebuild. For example

where we are at in terms of our housing stock repair

which is further advanced than most of us would have

thought we might have been five years down the track,

given the constraints we had on housing repairs in the

early days following the earthquakes (constraints

specifically relating to ongoing seismic activity,

complexities with insurance and associated land stability

issues).

The Canterbury Employers Chamber of Commerce will

complete some detailed research on our progress and

how far down the track we are over the coming months

as we think it is important for our entire community to

understand who is doing what, in what timeframe and

with what anticipated result.

Watch this space. There is a lot going on and a lot still to

happen. We are excited about it!

It is well known that construction contracts contain implied

warranties that the builder will carry out building work in a

good and workman-like manner. It is less well known that

construction contracts also include implied warranties that

the builder will supply good and proper materials which are

reasonably fit for the purpose for which they are required.

Building elements, which include building materials, must

also satisfy the performance requirements of the Building

Code.

A minimum performance standard of 50 years is required if

building elements provide structural support to the building,

are difficult to access or replace, or a failure of any of those

elements to comply with the Building Code would go

undetected during normal use and maintenance.

A minimum performance standard of 15 years is required if

the building elements are moderately difficult to access or

replace or a failure of those elements would go undetected

during normal use but would be easily detected during

normal maintenance.

Defects in building materials generally fall within the

category of either patent defects, which can be easily seen,

or latent defects which cannot be easily seen and may not

become apparent for many years after the building work is

completed. A builder will be in breach of a construction

contract if the materials supplied are defective. This is so

even though the builder may not be aware of the defect. For

construction contracts of a commercial nature, implied

warranties in relation to defects in building materials may be

excluded by agreement however, compliance with the

Building Code cannot be excluded. For building work in

relation to household units, implied warranties that all

materials will be reasonably fit for purpose and of good

quality, cannot be contracted out of.

Where a builder is not able to exclude liability for defects in

building materials incorporated into building work, the builder

will have to rely on its contract with the supplier of the

building materials following any claim by an owner

concerning defective building materials.

It is important that builders attempt to limit their liability,

particularly for latent defects in commercial construction

contracts and ensure that contracts with their suppliers do

not limit the liability of the supplier to a standard which is less

than that of the builder. It is also important that builders

satisfy themselves as to the quality and performance of all

materials which they use in their building work.

Cash is the lifeblood of the construction industry. We are

often asked to help contractors and sub-trades get paid

for work they have carried out.

What if letters of demand have been ignored or a statutory

demand is not appropriate? Many contractors and sub-trades

dont realise that the Construction Contracts Act 2002 (Act)

affords statutory protection to unpaid payees, provided the

technical requirements in relation to payment claims set out in

s20 of the Act are met. If a payer fails to serve a payment

schedule in accordance with s21 of the Act then the sum

claimed in the payment claim becomes a debt due at law.

This means an unpaid contractor can enforce payment in full

either by way of adjudication or court proceedings. It will then be

up to the paying party to later argue that the sum paid was not

due and owing, and claim the money it has paid back from the

contractor.

In the recent case of Can Build Limited v Kirkpatrick, Can

Build Limited (CBL), applied to the High Court for summary

judgment to enforce payment of sums claimed in relation to a

residential build. CBL alleged that Kirkpatrick had not provided a

payment schedule or made payment within the required

timeframe. The Court had to decide whether the payment claims

met the requirements set out in s20 of the Act.

CBL provided two monthly payment claims to Kirkpatrick. The

rst only made reference to the quantity and rate of labour and

total cost of materials. Kirkpatrick requested further information

from CBL for clarity, which CBL provided by way of

supplementary information. CBL issued a second claim which

contained the same references as the rst but with a breakdown

of named individuals, labour hours and a list of material

suppliers. Both payment claims were defective because they

failed to provide sufcient identication of the construction works

and therefore did not meet the requirements of the Act.

Kirkpatrick could not provide a meaningful response to the

claims.

The Court held that a defective payment claim cannot be

cured by serving a subsequent amended or substituted

payment claim. Equally, providing extra information after the

claim has been served in order to remedy a defective claim only

causes unnecessary confusion and does not cure a defective

claim. This case highlights the importance of serving a correct

payment claim the rst time.

WALLPAPERING SPRAYING

RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL

It is a massive investment and involves a

lot of co-ordination as its staff work

closely with an estimated 20,000 people

who live in Housing New Zealand homes.

Approximately 1000 tradespeople are

working on the repairs and new builds

programme throughout the city and that

work is pumping about $1 million into the

local economy every working day.

Acting CERP General Manager Andrew

Booker says the programme involved big

numbers, co-ordination and planning but

the best part for him was seeing tenants

happy in their repaired or new homes.

Housing New Zealand has made great

progress in both the repair and new builds

programme. As at the end of July, it had

completed repairs to 4,463 homes.

This work not only involved repairing the

earthquake damage but taking the

opportunity to make other improvements to

reduce the ongoing maintenance needs of

the house.

A full scope of works is done on each

property and many improvements are

made while contractors are working on the

house. These include new curtains,

insulation, carpet, vinyl, painting and

ventilation.

Andrew says this means the full story in

the repair programme is not just about

making the necessary earthquake repairs,

but enhancing its existing housing stock.

Behind those great figures that show we

are making great progress towards our

repair of 5000 homes is that thousands of

tenants and their families are now living in

warmer, drier and healthier new homes,

he says.

All of this is genuinely a team effort with

many partners involved in making these

numbers a reality. Housing New Zealand

has strong working relationships with local

consenting authorities, build partners,

contractors and other important

stakeholders.

At last count, the organisation was

building new homes in 26 Christchurch

suburbs and repairing properties in those

same communities.

Andrew says this has enabled Housing

New Zealand to press ahead with its work

in Canterbury and it is pleased to play its

part in the overall recovery of Canterbury.

New homes treasured by

grateful tenants

Housing New Zealands new builds

programme across Christchurch is

leaving a smile on the faces of hundreds

of tenants.

An elderly couple, originally from

Kazakhstan, are loving their new central

Christchurch Housing New Zealand

home. Nikolay (74) and his wife Mariya

(77) have lived in the Manchester Street

complex for just over a month and both

are delighted with their new home.

They immigrated to New Zealand in

1988, and previously lived in an older

Canterbury

One of the biggest social housing investment in the South Islands history is changing lives for the better. Housing

New Zealands Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Programme (CERP) is spending approximately $350 million

repairing up to 5000 earthquake damaged houses and building 700 new homes across greater Christchurch.

Holly and her son

Axel are all smiles

after moving into

their new Housing

New Zealand

house recently.

Mariya and her husband, Nikolay are thrilled with

their new Housing New Zealand house.

This house. It is so

spacious and light, so

warm and so

comfortable.

Housing New Zealand property in the

citys northern suburbs. The couple keep

their home in immaculate condition and

say they absolutely love the space,

warmth and comfort of the house. We

are very happy, very happy to be here,

Nikolay says.

His wife loves the spaciousness of the

house and the modern features,

especially in the kitchen. This house. It is

so spacious and light, so warm and so

comfortable.

Meanwhile, the location, warmth and

modern features were all drawcards for

Housing New Zealand tenant Holly when

she was offered a brand-new property on

the edge of the central city.

After just a month in her new home,

Holly says it is the perfect home for her

and her two-year-old son Axel. Ive

always liked modern new homes. I love

the feel of them so I love this house, she

says. The house was very close to her

sons daycare centre and only one bus

ride to her workplace. The warmth and

comfort of the home was also very good,

she says. Its a warm house and really

keeps the heat in.

HNZs $350m


Repaired home a real

blessing for tenant

Her repaired home is warmer, drier and

better than ever before according to

Bryndwr tenant Jean. The 74 year old

tenant has lived in her house for 10 years.

Like thousands of other Christchurch

tenants, her property needed repairs after

the earthquakes. While contractors were

completing the necessary earthquake

repairs, they also took the opportunity to

make other improvements.

The organisations Tenancy Liaison

staff worked closely with Jean to ensure

her needs were met during this time. She

needed to move out of her house for

about three weeks but was keen to stay

nearby.

The staff arranged for Jean to stay in a

house just around the road. They also

helped her pack up her belongings and

take care of other matters like transferring

her telephone to her temporary house.

Staff regularly visited her during her

time out of her house and worked closely

with her to help her move back into her

repaired home in late July.

The improvements included new

carpet, curtains, painting throughout and

a new heat pump. Jean was thrilled with

her new-look home. It is just marvellous.

It really has made a big difference.

investment making real difference

Board impressed with quality of

new Christchurch houses

The Board of Housing New Zealand,

along with senior members of Housing

New Zealands executive team, recently

visited Christchurch and were impressed

with the quality and pace of the new builds

programme. They visited several new

developments across the city, including in

Riccarton, Phillipstown and Aranui, as well

as several sites near completion or poised

to have new homes built there.

The group also visited a repaired

Community Group Housing complex and

spent time with members of the

Canterbury Earthquake Recovery

Programme (CERP) and Tenancy Services

teams.

Chief Executive Glen Sowry says the visit

was a great opportunity for senior staff

and Board members to get a first-hand

look at the massive programme of work

being done by Housing New Zealand

across the city.

The Board were very impressed with the

quality of the new homes being built and

excited as the Christchurch portfolio will be

the most modern in its stock nationwide.

24 March 2015 Canterbury Rebuild

New video tells the Housing

New Zealand story

A new and innovative way of telling the

story of Housing New Zealand, its people

and their housing needs has been

developed.

A nine-minute video, Our People, Our

Journey tells the story about the

countrys largest social housing provider

that owns about 67,000 properties that

more than 193,000 people call home.

The video was filmed in Christchurch

and Auckland and showcases many of

the new houses being built in those parts

of the country, but it also includes scenes

from other parts of the country that

explains the work the organisations staff

do for its tenants every day.

Our People, Our Journey is a story

about people and their housing needs.

It outlines how Housing New Zealand

does much more than just collect the

rent.

Its Tenancy Services staff work

alongside tenants to help them manage

debt, connect them to support services

and ensure their homes are safe, healthy

and appropriate for them.

Bryndwr tenant Jean is very

happy with the quality of repairs

to her home.

Christchurch builder Mike Greer (far left) chats with Housing New

Zealand staff during a site visit to Aranui recently. From left are

Canterbury Investment Plan Strategic manager Tim Allan, Canterbury

Earthquake Recovery Programme (CERP) general manager Paul

Commons, acting Housing New Zealand board chair Adrienne Young-

Cooper, CERP project manager Brendon Ross, Governance Group

general manager Greg Groufsky and Housing New Zealand chief

executive Glen Sowry.

Other interesting facts about

Housing New Zealand include:

Over 1,000 staff manage tenants and

properties

Maintaining the properties involves

more than 3500 tradespeople

40 percent of the people living in our

homes are children while another 20

percent are over 65 years of age

Up to $200 million is spent on

maintenance each year

Last year, property improvements took

place at 5,652 properties and included

refurbishing kitchens and bathrooms, new

carpets, heating and redecoration

HNZs Next Generation Performance

Based Maintenance Contract will

establish 158 new apprenticeships over

the five-year life of the contract

The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery

Programme is managing the single

biggest investment into social housing

stock in the South Islands recent history

In Auckland, 24 re-development

projects have been launched, at a cost of

about $45 million

Today, the social housing portfolio is

valued at nearly $21 billion.

Our People, Our Journey outlines the

valuable role Housing New Zealand plays,

often with some of the most vulnerable

people in our communities.
