There will be a Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Canterbury Earthquake. It will examine issues around the built environment in the Christchurch CBD, including the CTV and PGC buildings. It will also look at the adequacy of building codes and standards into the future.
A technical investigation is already underway by the Department of Building and Housing into the performance of the Canterbury Television, PGC, Forsyth Barr, and Hotel Grand Chancellor buildings. The Royal Commission will take this investigation into account.
An interim report will be made in about six months, including any recommendations that may be relevant to the construction of new buildings in the CBD.
