As a consequence of the announcements made by the Prime
Minister last week, at the well attended
lunch hosted by CECC, there is now an opportunity to have input into the
Draft Transition Recovery Plan.
The Prime Minister
made it very clear that the next phases in the recovery are about regeneration, changed structures and a
particular emphasis on collaboration
between Central Government and
Local Government. He also talked about strong governance and improved visibility around what is to be done, by whom,
and when. This is a critical time in the
rebuild as Government works towards exiting from its special post-earthquake positioning and more
responsibility is transferred, in stages, back to the Christchurch City Council (in particular).
The Draft Transitional Recovery Plan provides context for
the transition of the Government's role in Greater Christchurch as long term
recovery arrangements are progressed.
The Plan includes proposals around new legislation, new
recovery arrangements for the central city and new process relating to feedback
on progress.
It is critical that we get clarity of the way forward and
community input is vital.
