NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 95 — 3 SEPTEMBER 2015

Guidance published by the New Zealand Treasury¹.

• Further, the decisions do not result in increased expenditure by the Waimakariri District Council over and above that provided for in the 2015–25 Long Term Plan, or otherwise through amendment to that Plan in accordance with ordinary statutory processes.

5. Responsible Entity

5.1. The Waimakariri District Council is appointed as the responsible entity and must develop a draft Waimakariri Residential Red Zone Recovery Plan.

5.2. The Waimakariri District Council must develop the draft Recovery Plan through a collaborative multi-agency approach with the Canterbury Regional Council, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, and the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, and in relation to transport infrastructure, the NZ Transport Agency.

6. Geographic Extent

6.1. The Recovery Plan will focus on the area identified by the Crown as residential red zone in Waimakariri.

6.2. For the avoidance of doubt, the Recovery Plan will include land within the residential red zone that is not held under section 53 of the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011 (for example, land that is privately owned, reserves, Council-owned land or land owned by the Crown under legislation other than the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011).

6.3. The Waimakariri District Council may include other land or areas near the residential red zone (ie, in the green zone), if it considers the inclusion of such land will facilitate the recovery of greater Christchurch communities from the effects of the Canterbury earthquakes, provided that the land owner agrees to the inclusion of their land.

6.4. In developing the draft Recovery Plan, the Waimakariri District Council must consider issues and effects that may occur outside of the geographic extent of the residential red zone, including matters relating to land uses, transport, and the social, economic, cultural and environmental well-being of surrounding communities.

6.5. Except as provided for above, the Recovery Plan will not apply to any other land in the Waimakariri District.

7. Matters to be Dealt With

7.1. The Recovery Plan will identify the intended long-term uses to support the recovery of greater Christchurch communities from the effects of the Canterbury earthquakes. In developing the draft Recovery Plan, the Waimakariri District Council must consider (but is not limited to):

7.1.1. The infrastructure requirements of the Waimakariri District, including the infrastructure requirements of owners and users adjacent to, neighbouring and within the residential red zone, with regard to those that are reliant on infrastructure (including roads) that is, or may be located within the residential red zone;

7.1.2. The impacts that the location and types of uses identified are likely to have on the surrounding communities;

7.1.3. The feasibility of remediation of land within the residential red zone;

7.1.4. The views of the public as provided as part of the CANVAS: your thinking for the red zones engagement process, and any subsequent engagement processes;

7.1.5. The risk of natural hazards to people, property, infrastructure, and the natural environment, and any mitigation needed to ensure risks are reduced to acceptable levels;

7.1.6. The natural resources and biophysical processes, including ecosystem processes and the practice of customary gathering of food and natural resources and the places where this occurs, in and around the residential red zone;

7.1.7. The work undertaken to date by the Waimakariri District Council on the future use of the residential red zone, and how the red zone interacts with the surrounding area, including the recovery of the Kaiapoi Key Activity Centre, the recovery of the Kaiapoi River and river banks and essential infrastructure; and

7.1.8. The interests of Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, including the work undertaken to date on future use.

7.2. The draft Recovery Plan must identify the practical next steps for the implementation of the Recovery Plan, including indicative timeframes for implementation and how ownership, funding, and management of different areas will be determined.

7.3. The Waimakariri District Council must have regard to any other Recovery Plans that are in force or being developed. It must consult the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority to ensure that the draft Recovery Plan is not inconsistent with existing or developing Recovery Plans. The Recovery Plan must be consistent with the Recovery Strategy for Greater Christchurch Mahere Haumanutanga o Waitaha.
