participants have been<br />
invited to the symposium.<br />
These people are primarily<br />
leaders of organisations<br />
that could be impacted by<br />
future disasters, or involved<br />
• provide clarity and support to areas (known as the Residential Unit<br />
Overlay) where the risk of flooding is predominantly from sea level rise<br />
• permit people with vacant sites (where houses have been demolished<br />
since the earthquakes) in the Residential Unit Overlay to rebuild<br />
houses of a similar size to what was there without requiring a resource<br />
consent.<br />
The Proposal, developed by Christchurch City Council, has been<br />
submitted to the Minister for Greater Christchurch Regeneration who is<br />
inviting your views.<br />

in recovery efforts,” Dr<br />
Woods said.<br />
Ms Dalziel said it’s going<br />
to be a valuable event.<br />
“The event has already<br />
attracted a huge amount<br />
of interest from across the<br />
sector, which shows that<br />
there is a real desire to<br />
share our recovery lessons,<br />
so that others benefit from<br />
our experiences when<br />
another disaster strikes,<br />
and more importantly, that<br />
we don’t see a repeat of<br />
any of our mistakes,” Ms<br />
Dalziel said.<br />
There will also be youth<br />
in disaster recovery, mental<br />
health lessons, arts, culture<br />
and heritage, community<br />
leadership, infrastructure<br />
recovery, social recovery<br />
and business recovery<br />
discussions.<br />
Mike McRoberts from<br />
Newshub will facilitate<br />
many of the discussions.<br />
The event is invitationonly.<br />
However, it will<br />
be live streamed and<br />
slides and videos will be<br />
put on the EQ Recovery<br />
Learning website – www.<br />
eqrecoverylearning.org.<br />
