Government support essential to complete Christchurch's rebuild at paceIAIN MCGREGOR/STUFF A pledge from a single minister - even Greater Christchurch Regeneration Minister Megan Woods - is not enough. OPINION: The Government's signalled commitment to faster, concrete progress for the ongoing rebuild is good news for Christchurch and its residents. Rebuild activity peaked in 2014 and since then the underlying economy has become increasingly important in driving growth across the region. However, there are still significant anchor rebuild projects to be completed or started in the city. It is essential central government supports local authorities to complete the outstanding anchor projects with pace and provides clear scope and timelines.
