Most of Bexley was recently red zoned by CERA. 5 100 red zoners in Canterbury were forced to abandon condemned properties & find new homes, after negotiations with EQC & insurers, or duress buyout by NZ National govt. That made NZ National govt a land-grabber, speculator, using taxpayers' money. CERA minister Brownlee had said red zone land could be remediated! Never mind 10 000 orange zone & white zone home owners' land still to be assessed by CERA.
Parked at Seabreeze Cl, trekked towards Bexley Wetland. I'd seen Seabreeze Cl post Sept 4 Darfield Quake & Feb 22, M6.3 Killer Quake, liquefactioned by both quakes. Deja vu June 13 Quake: Seabreeze Cl, ghost street, grey quakemire everywhere, many ghost houses, just one house inhabited, cars parked outside. Grey, quakemired, stinking mess. Bexley ghost houses I passed were red zoned & would be demolished by CERA.
Quake damaged Bexley had suffered 1 000s of tons of liquefaction MUD, MUD, MORE MUD. As in other liquefactioned suburbs, like Avonside, Dallington, Avondale, Horseshoe Lake, Bexley's infrastructure, underground pipes & cables, were destroyed by quakemire shoved up by quakes. Mud flooded into roads, gardens, houses, businesses, causing massive destruction.

I didn't snap much of Seabreeze Cl, nor Bexley Wetland, having done so before. The post Feb 22 Killer Quake stopbank between Bexley Wetland & new Bexley housing had hardened into a regular cycle track overlooking ghost houses, quakemire both sides of the elevated stopbank.
Bexley Rd: At stopbank start, a road, threat sign: EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE. Ghost houses in Seabreeze Cl & lining Bexley Wetland had shiny, blind eyes. Taking pics of ghost houses facing Bexley Wetland, I had that creepy feeling again. Although a safe distance away, when standing before ghosts, I felt I was being watched.

As ghost houses faced Bexley Wetland , through windows & glass doors, I saw dried quakemire inside houses & quake cracked, overgrown gardens. Feb 22 Killer Quake, liquefaction volcanoes in Bexley Wetland, already looked old, covered in low tide, brown algae. Waterfowl still inhabited Bexley Wetland, humans gone.

Bexley Wetland: Closer to Avon River bank, Bexley houses were inhabited. At the edge of Bexley Wetland, I passed a freshwater spring in raupo reeds. Information board described wetland ecosystems: salt marsh; salt meadow; freshwater swamp. Avon River banks had post quake, raised stopbanks both sides of the river. On the new stopbank, I trekked past new quake cracks caused by lateral spreading.

Wairoa St: Looked at post Feb 22 Killer Quake, community showers in a shipping container. An empty wooden hut guarded the showers, a blue sign told people how to shower. Waste of money, sign & guard hut, the same $10 000 wooden hut cops & NZDF soldiers used at CBD cordon checkpoints.
Council sign:
COMMUNITY SHOWERS
Please:
*Go to the toilet before showers.
*Use your own soap, shampoo and towell.
*Wear jandals or shower footwear.
*Put all waste in the bin - including nappies.
*Supervise children under 12 at all times.
*Keep showers to 10 minutes including change time.
*Families can have longer.
*Talk to our staff if you feel uncomfortable.
Please do not:
*Drink the water or clean teeth.
*Use if you have vomiting or diarrhoea
*Use a cellphone.
"Resilient" Cantabrians would endure new rules & officious threats from bureaucrats & jobsworths for years.

Wairoa St, parallel to Avon River, was cleared of quakemire, but was still lined with colourful portaloos & pumps pumping sewage between sewers, one pumping waste water into sewage polluted Avon River near Pages Rd Bridge.

Waitaki St to muddy John Hinton VC Reserve on Avon River Bank: Ghost houses, liquefactioned, cracked, tilted. Skewed garages, fences, letterboxes, power poles. Some driveways flooded, one garden flooded with brown, shitty muck by the front door. By that time, I'd trekked through countless, shitty puddles in Christchurch. Part of Waitaki St side was flooded. Mud everywhere, on the road, on pavements, in overgrown gardens. Few people.

John Hinton VC Reserve by Avon River: Stood on top of the post quake, raised stopbank. Saw that Waitaki St & parallel Bexley Rd were below high tide Avon River. Years before, planners, surveyors, engineers, architects, builders, developers, real estate agents who'd developed Bexley on swampland were greedy.
More porous, white & blue, plastic bags, containing dry, concrete mix, stood on the stopbank by John Hinton VC Reserve, ready for Avon River flooding. Land had sunk in quakes, no one certain how deep, until geotech investigation. Meanwhile citizens waited for heavy rains to see if their properties flooded. Many quaked roads had dips on the surface, where land had sunk & puddles formed after rains. There were puddles on Travis Rd by Travis Wetland, where the road had sunk during quakes.

Christchurch's post quake, housing market, Harcourts flyer:
"The main problem Purchasers face is trying to organise insurance. This is mainly resolved by the Purchasers insuring with the same insurance Company which currently insures the property on behalf of the Vendors. However, in many instances even though an insurance Company is going to continue with the cover they still require Engineers and / or building reports prior to granting insurance to the Purchaser.
Another main issue is how Vendors and Purchasers deal with EQC claims. If between the date of the agreement and the date of the settlement the Vendor receives a pay out from EQC then the Vendor should account to the Purchaser for the amount received. On occasions the Vendors have actually used the money to carry out repairs. If a claim has not been settled then the Vendors and Purchasers enter into a Deed of Assignment and Notice of Assignment which effectively transfers the claim to the Purchasers and from that point onwards the Purchasers will deal with EQC with regard to the settlement of the claim..."
Slow EQC again, which had 60 years' taxpayer funded practise to get it right when the big quake came. Insurers got premiums from policy holders, but delayed payments to property owners post quakes. Insurers excuse for delays was that EQC caused delays & insurers couldn't do anything until EQC had decided on undercap $100 000 repairs, or overcap $100 000 repairs, or rebuild, to be dealt with by insurers. When it was time to rebuild, home owners & business owners found premiums had risen astronomically, making it difficult to rebuild.
There would be problems for home owners regarding EQC's & Fletcher's undercap $100 000, shoddy, quake repairs & repair / rebuild complications with quake damaged houses, sold post quakes, as hinted at by the above Harcourts flyer.
Christchurch Mail 20.07.11 reported about Stanmore Rd, Sun Ning takeaways owner battling to reinsure a rebuild after the shop was demolished. Post Sept 4 Darfield Quake, Leah had watched demolition of Sun Ning old, brick, ghost shop from her London St school.
After 10 months of quakes, there was whinging from insurers & reinsurers about Canterbury being risky. Therefore premiums for new & old bldgs had to rise to refill insurers' coffers!
CERA minister Brownlee did a tour of red zone, cordoned CBD ruins with London Lloyd's boss Peter Levene, who whined about "syndicate markets... market forces... exposures... risks..." while Christchurch business owners battled to access their cordoned, CBD ruined bldgs. (The Star 20.07.11). Seven years later, June 2018, I would have an email exchange with a High St bldg owner who still battled Lloyds for his insurance payout.
How profitably did insurers & reinsurers invest premiums all those good years?
Then there were lending & legal leeches.
Tue 19.07.11. Returned to Bexley for another look at sewaged Avon River & its post quake, raised stopbanks. By post quake, sewer repairs on Pages Rd, I detoured along post quake, patched Rowan Ave, along patched Bexley roads to patched Porchester St, back to patched Pages Rd by Bexley Reserve.

At the end of Mitcham Pl, I looked at Avon River raised stopbank, on top of old reinforcing gabion baskets. Riverbank houses were too close to Avon River by the raised stopbank. No wonder roads liquefactioned during quakes. All houses in Mitcham Pl & lanes close to Avon River would be red zoned, demolished by CERA.

Pre-quakes, those who'd planned, built, bought houses at Bexley swampland were crazy. Geologists, seismologists, councillors, planners, surveyors, architects, engineers, builders, developers were aware of swamps & sand on which Christchurch was built.
"Geology of the Christchurch Urban Area," LJ Brown, JH Weeber, Institute of Geological & Nuclear Sciences Ltd, 1992, gave an overview of Christchurch geology, suburbia, groundwater, quake hazards. No excuse for modern, crap housing at Bexley, as early settlers already described swampland on which Christchurch was built.

Quaked Seabreeze Cl, Wairoa St, Bexley Rd, Waitaki St, Pages Rd & other red zone streets reminded me of third world, African townships. What saved them from shanty town squalor was EQC, insurers, NZ National govt's red zone, buy out scheme. Pity those without insurance, as NZ National govt required red zoned home owners to cede their home insurances to CERA / NZ National govt when dealing with CERA offers to buy out red zoned homes. Thus NZ National govt land-grabbed red zone properties & negotiated with insurers regarding the ceded policies. Disaster Capitalism.

*Trekked Seabreeze Cl, Bexley Rd, Bexley Wetland, Wairoa St, Pages Rd, Waitaki St. 233 snaps.
Coda:
Fri 25.10.13: By Oct 2013, many of the red zone houses I'd snapped in Bexley had been demolished by CERA: along Wairoa St, Seabreeze Cl, Waitaki St, Bexley Rd, Pages Rd & side streets. Some demolition sites along Waitaki St were already reverting to Avon River swampland, scummy pools & river reeds. Still many ghost houses in Bexley to be demolished by CERA. The Press 25.10.13 reported that CERA had demolished only 38% of red zone housing so far. i.e. By Sept, CERA had demolished 3 012 houses out of a total of 7 839 red zone houses.
Bexley demolition sites were a mess, overgrown gardens, household & construction rubbish dumped on some sites & a fence cordoned construction site at John Hinton VC Reserve. A black, plastic, sewage pipe, about 1m diameter, ran along the side of Bexley Rd from John Hinton VC Reserve to Pages Rd. Pages Rd, ghost shopping centre, fence cordoned with green shade cloth. That summed up CERA's "recovery" for red zone Bexley: dusty demolition sites, ghost housing, a sewage pipe, fronted by clean, green, torn shade-cloth fluttering in the NW breeze.
Bexley "recovery" was a misnomer. More than 5 years post 04.09.10 Darfield Quake, the sooner Council, CERA & EQC decided what to do with Bexley red zone, riverside, demolition sites on Avon River swampland the better.
Pages Rd shops by Pages Rd Bridge would be demolished.
The Weekend Press 21-22 February 2015 reported that EQC horizontally injected concrete underground into two Wairoa St, red zone, demolition properties & two Avondale red zone, demolition properties, then tried to imitate quakes with a truck trundling by, or little explosions to see if the concrete survived. That was EQC's remediation solution for red zone land, so underground, horizontal concrete could support old / new house foundations on red zone land.
Problem: EQC had to pay out for damaged, liquefactioned, red zone land, even if the house on top was unscathed by quakes. Dafter still: one NZ National govt dept, CERA had red zoned the land, then another NZ National govt agency, EQC had to pay up for quake quaked, liquefactioned, red zone land.
Given the strength of the quakes, any concrete injected underground on liquefactioned land would be snapped like spaghetti in future quakes. EQC condoned all the quake-snapped, roadside, concrete curbs EQC inspectors passed during inspections. Never mind quakes snapping or cracking infrastructure like underground concrete pipes, drains, bridge abutments, piers, causing billions of bucks damage, which SCIRT spent years fixing.
Post quake years, some repair companies injected concrete underground into quake cracks & voids to stop bldgs or walls sinking further in quakemired ground.
