Earthquake consenting
With the Canterbury region's focus shifting from the earthquake aftermath to recovery, ViaStrada is looking at how it can assist with expediting the building and resource consent processes for those wanting to rebuild their premises.
ViaStrada's planners are already actively involved in resource consents for a number of prominent quake affected heritage buildings in central Christchurch and are otherwise providing advice to building company clients on residential and commercial rebuilding options and consenting issues.
Information on different resource consent options that are open to quake-affected building owners and updates on legislative and procedural changes of relevance can be found on the following page: http://viastrada.nz/news/2010/resource-consents-earthquake-affected-buildings
