National is totally committed to the rebuilding of Canterbury. That’s why we’ve committed $5.5 billion to the rebuild and created a whole new government department – the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) – to lead the recovery effort.
The rebuilding has started, and economic activity is increasing. We're working as fast as we can to make the right decisions to deliver the best outcomes we can for Cantabrians.
Construction is underway on around 20 commercial buildings within the four avenues of the central city. About 200 infrastructure repair projects valued at more than $420 million are underway across the city. Thousands of homes badly damaged by the Canterbury earthquake are being repaired, and many repairs have already been completed.
The Re:START temporary shopping area in Cashel Mall is up and running, and is thriving, drawing people back to the heart of the city.
We will rebuild Christchurch. This is the Government’s commitment to New Zealand. And while Christchurch will look different than it did before, it will be great once more.
