Greater Christchurch Regeneration Minister Megan Woods said as part of its promise to resolve outstanding insurance matters for Christchurch people, the Government will extend the Residential Advisory Service for at least another year. “I’m really thrilled to announce this valuable service will continue. Over the last few years the RAS has helped resolve nearly 5000 EQC and insurance claims. “The Government acknowledges there is a lot of work to be done to help people resolve issues as quickly and as fairly as possible so they can get on with their lives. “It means quake affected home owners who are still •The RAS was launched in 2013 and has received more than 18,000 contacts from homeowners with insurance and/or EQC issues. •Nearly 5000 homeowners have been helped through meetings with an independent advisor or broker, more than 400 of them since December. •More than 450 open cases are currently being managed, with about 15 new cases each week. struggling can continue to access free and independent brokering, legal, and technical assistance to progress their insurance claims. “Work is also under way around creating an expanded service, where people will have access to other psychological and social supports. “This is about recognising the enormous emotional toll that these claims processes can take and making it easier for people to get the help they need,” Dr Woods said. Extending the RAS was one of the recommendations made in a report outlining the need for a wide range of reforms to speed up the resolution of outstanding EQC claims.

The Star Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Thursday June 28 2018 11 News Black box theatre plan AN OPTION for a proposed black box theatre in the Performing Arts Precinct is being explored by the trustees of The Piano. They are investigating the idea of a $10 million ‘black box theatre’ that would seat between 250-300 people. The Piano opened in the precinct nearly two years ago and the trustees believe their black box theatre idea would make economic sense. It would complement both The Piano and the new Court Theatre. The Piano director Bronwyn Bijl said the black box theatre would share resources with The Piano, making it affordable to run and ensuring that it did not compete with other facilities in the precinct. “We want to see a collaborative approach to the venues so that they complement one another,” she said. “The Piano is an excellent resource for music in Christchurch and we would like to develop an equivalent space for theatre. We are committed to providing first rate facilities, tailored to meet community needs.” Ms Bijl said the ‘black box’ ENTERTAINMENT: An artist’s impression of the black box theatre proposed for the Performing Arts Precinct. would be a world-class facility, purpose-built for acoustics, that would cater for community and touring professional theatre groups. It would also be suitable for fringe and dinner theatre, cabaret, open mic, play readings, workshops, festivals, comedy, as a pop-up space or a film studio, and be available for dance, buskers and Kidsfest events. “The design embraces the black box concept of providing an innovative space that is able to be adapted and arranged to suit any style of production or event.” The theatre space itself includes tiered, retractable seating for an audience of between 250 and 300 people, with a flat floor option to extend the range of uses. Ancillary spaces required to support theatre and performance uses are included in the design, along with an office and administration hub for local theatre groups. City councillors are set to consider options for the $30 million performing arts precinct project today. The Piano opened to the public in September 2016 and has had 125,000 people through in its first full calendar year and hosted more than 400 events last year, including concerts, festivals, competitions, masterclasses, recordings and educational events.
