The former Christchurch Women's Hospital site on Colombo St is 'ripe for redevelopment', according to Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel. Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel has a land swap solution to the Christchurch Hospital parking fiasco but no-one appears interested. The former women's hospital site, one of the largest vacant blocks in the four avenues, has been called a "roadblock" to central city redevelopment. If CDHB land was deemed surplus to requirements, the health board had to follow a disposal process. Parking at Christchurch Hospital has been a long-running source of frustration for staff, visitors and patients.
