I have been involved in a lot of speaking engagements over
the past couple of weeks. There is still a real hunger out there for up-to-date information on the key issues relating to Earthquake
recovery. My audiences have been many and varied, but they all share
a belief about the positive future of Christchurch. Don’t take too
much notice of the surveys that are indicating a high proportion of our
citizens are considering leaving town. We all have a big
opportunity to be involved in the rebuild, and I suspect you might see
people flooding into Christchurch, not out of it - if we can find
somewhere for them to live!
With under 60 days to go until
the Christchurch Central Development Unit’s release of its blueprint, expectations are building. The release of the blueprint will be another big step along the way.
I hope the CCDU is bold and brave in its vision,
that the community embraces it and expresses a strong desire to get on
with realising this city's big future.
