Master Plans
For those centres with significant levels of damage master plans have been or are being developed to assist with the rebuild and recovery.
Master Plan Process
Master plans look at the suburban commercial centre as a whole and its links to nearby activities or attractions. Master planning is only suitable for some centres, depending on the extent of damage; the size, catchment and layout of the centre; and particular opportunities that may exist to improve the functioning or layout of the centre.
Master plans are a collaborative effort involving the Council, community boards and local stakeholders, including business property owners and operators, central and regional government agencies, community groups (such as social and environmental groups), local residents, Iwi and any other organisations that have a stake in the local community.
Case management
Case managers have been assigned to other suburban commercial centres where the centre has suffered some earthquake damage. Underpinning case management is the Council's desire to encourage a collaborative approach between the Council (and its various units), business property owners and other support agencies (for example, Recover Canterbury) for earthquake repair and rebuild.
