Where are we heading?
Implementation of key Council policy documents, such as the UDS,
underpins the work programme.
Central City Revitalisation continues with the implementation
of A City for People Action Plan. This is a 12 year action plan that
guides how public spaces and streets within the Central City will
be improved and follows a Public Space Public Life Study by Gehl
Architects.
The Heritage Review is completed and the successful heritage
grants programme continues. The Heritage Review focuses on
built heritage within the city to define the strategic objectives and
priorities and Councils role in achieving these.
Investigation of financial tools/incentives and mechanisms to
support urban regeneration continues.
The Christchurch Transport Plan will be finalised. Implementation
of the South West and Belfast Area Plans continues and a study of
future land use in the North West of the city will commence.
Development of a wastewater strategy begins.
The Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) has proposed a major
redevelopment of Christchurch Hospital. We will be working with
the CDHB on aspects of the redevelopment which have impact
beyond the immediate site.
The Council’s bylaw review programme will continue to respond
to changing circumstances and ensure the Council’s bylaw
regulations remain current.
Council-initiated plan changes and private plan changes progress
through various stages of the regulatory process. A report on the
efficiency and effectiveness of the Christchurch City Plan will be
completed.
