More Port Hills properties zoned green
The decision brings the total number of properties in the Port Hills area zoned green to over 11,300.
A further 1600 homes in the Port Hills area in Christchurch have been rezoned from the white to green zone, Cabinet decided yesterday.
Affected homeowners can check their new zoning from this morning at www.landcheck.org.nz. A statement will be made by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) when the information has been updated on the Landcheck website, and letters to those residents affected will be mailed to them by CERA tomorrow.
"This means those homeowners will be able to get on with the process of rebuilding and repairing their homes if they were damaged by the earthquakes," Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee said.
"They will need to keep working with EQC and their private insurer as claim assessments are continuing on a property-by-property basis."
The decision brings the total number of properties in the Port Hills area zoned green to over 11,300.
About 2100 homes remain in the white zone in the Port Hills areas and working with the Christchurch City Council and EQC to rezone these properties and the around 900 properties still in the orange zone on the flats remains CERA's highest priority, Mr Brownlee said.
