Case managers have assigned to suburban commercial centres that have suffered some earthquake damage. Underpinning the case management project is the Council's desire to encourage a collaborative approach between the Council (and its various departments), property owners, and other support agencies (e.g. Recover Canterbury) for earthquake repair and rebuild.
Case managers will be able to support property owners through arranging architectural and urban design advice on their building proposals, and helping owners to navigate through the Council’s (resource and building) consent processes. Case Managers may be able to facilitate collaborative discussions between neighbouring building owners and, where relevant, provide advice on wider urban renewal and planning considerations (e.g. transport, parks and recreation, community development, and heritage).
Building owners in each centre will be contacted directly. Information will be provided which outlines the role of the case manager and what they can help with, along with the name and contact details of the case manager assigned to each individual centre.
