Centrally located close to the popular
city hub of Victoria Street with its
array of entertainment, dining and
shopping options, the contemporary two-
storey apartments will feature textured
sandstone, steel and cedar exteriors, with
stunning landscaped gardens and hardwood

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.

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.

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!

LEGAL ADVICE
CANTERBURY BUILD September 2015 13
Brian Burke
PARTNER
HARMANS
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.

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.

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.
