Cathedal Sq: Midday, CERA hadn't removed two cordon fences west side of Christ Church Cathedral ruin. Citizens streamed into Cathedral Sq both sides of Worcester St & Colombo St, but were blocked by the those two remaining SMF-cordons. CERA office huts were gone from Cathedral Sq, but CERA's leaving two cordon fences stopped citizens walking around their beloved Cathedral.
Colombo St / Salisbury St: I trekked south down Colombo St for the first time since the 22 February 2011 Quake, past demolition-sites of old, wooden buildings both sides of Colombo St. All that remained was the grounded, rickety turret of a two-storey ruined house near a weedy rubble-heap.
06.07.13. Steel mesh fence cordon. 2 storey house, demolition rubble, grounded turret, Colombo St, nr Salisbury St crossing
Two adjacent demolition-sites: Post 4 September 2010 Quake, I'd coolpixed a ruin by Braziers, its side-wall was ripped off exposing a first- floor toilet for all to see. That ruin was long gone. Behind the wall, I saw another demolition-site with Gap Filler mini-golf & windmills made from bicycle wheels & plastic blowing in the wind.

30.06.13. Colombo St, S view, abandoned Copthorne Hotel, awaited demolition, abandoned Forsyth Barr / Crowne Plaza Hotel awaited repairs. Port Hills beyond. Abandoned Town Hall right, awaited repairs
Colombo St / Peterborough St: I saw more corner demolition-sites. I saw a faux pissoir, covered in adverts, which stood in line with multi-storey Copthorne Hotel ruin & abandoned multi-storey Forsyth Barr / Crowne Plaza Hotel. Copthorne Hotel would be demolished.
30.06.13. Colombo St / Peterborough St view, post quake CBD skyline. Faux pissoir for ads. Repaired Pacific Tower / Rendezvous Hotel left. Abandoned Forsyth Barr / Crowne Plaza Hotel middle, abandoned Town Hall right, both awaited repairs

Colombo St / Kilmore St: I saw three more corner demolition-sites. East along Kilmore St: I saw three-storey, glassy Forte Health a new build. On Saturday night, I'd driven along Kilmore St one-way which was SMF-cordoned and OPRC-cordoned most of the way from Madras St to Cranmer Sq crossings. CERA had lied about cordon fencing removal!
30.06.13. Orange, plastic, road cone cordon. Colombo St, W view, Kilmore St, shortly after reopening, 28 months post 22.02.11 quake. Abandoned Town Hall left awaited repairs. Crowne Plaza Hotel demolition site beyond left
30.06.13. Colombo St, E view, steel mesh fence cordon, orange, plastic, road cone cordon, one way Kilmore St. Forte Health rebuild left
Never mind all the cordon fencing around scores of current SCIRT excavations on Christchurch roads. There were irritating detours around SCIRT excavations too! I'd lost count of car light bulbs I'd replaced due to SCIRT potholes which deepened due to recent heavy rains. Since SCIRT had excavated Christchurch roads for pipe replacement two years post 22 February 2011 Quake, roads had become worse.
Colombo St / Kilmore St: SMF-cordoned Town Hall was still abandoned, so I trekked westwards towards Pallet Pavilion on Crowne Plaza Hotel demolition-site. Councillors had voted to repair Town Hall & music buffs had extolled Town Hall's acoustics.
30.06.12. Colombo St / Cambridge Tce, faux pissoir. Abandoned Ernst & Young left awaited demolition
30.06.13. Colombo St / Cambridge Tce view, Forte Health rebuild, Kilmore St
Colombo St Bridge, 1902: I crossed through a SMF-cordoned avenue. During quakes, on the north end of the bridge iron balustrades had bashed concrete-abutments causing spalling both sides of the bridge. Eastwards from Colombo St Bridge: I saw demolition-sites along Kilmore St & Cambridge Tce & to Ernst & Young ruin next to PGC's demolition-site where 18 people died when PGC collapsed in the 22 February 2011 Quake. Ernst & Young would be demolished, 2014.
2020. A new footbridge, the North Frame's Pedestrian Bridge would be built downriver from Colombo St Bridge between Oxford Tce & Cambridge Tce.
30.06.13. My southern view: white / orange, plastic bollards & the SMF-cordon avenue across damaged Colombo St Bridge. I saw ruined Copthorne Hotel which awaited demolition. I saw abandoned Forsyth Barr / Crowne Plaza Hotel awaiting repairs. Nearby Victoria Square apartments awaited demolition for CCDU's Blueprint Convention Centre / Te Pae.

Victoria Sq: I saw citizens streaming across from Pallet Pavilion on Crowne Plaza Hotel demolition-site, all going to Cathedral Sq. On Avon River's true right bank, I saw the cream-coloured Maori pou near abandoned Town Hall which awaited repairs.

Victoria Sq: SMF-cordoned along Colombo St near Copthorne Hotel ruin & Winnie Bagoes demolition-site. East of Victoria Sq, I saw that Armagh St was open towards Oxford Tce demolition-sites & reopened New Regent St, but westwards it was still closed due to multi-storey Craigs House demolition for CCDU's Blueprint Convention Centre / Te Pae.
30.06.13. Victoria Sq / Colombo St, steel mesh fence cordon view, Colombo St demolition sites & abandoned Copthorne Hotel, awaiting demolition. Repaired Pacific Tower / Rendezvous Hotel middle

Colombo St / Armagh St: Beyond abandoned Forsyth Barr / Crowne Plaza Hotel & The National Bank / Isaac House I saw demolition-sites both sides of Colombo St to Cathedral Sq. Gutted Forsyth Barr: the owner would repair it as Crowne Plaza Hotel. Never mind concrete-stairs collapsing down stairwells in the 22 February 2011 Quake, trapping survivors, who saved themselves by abseiling from windows. National Bank / Isaac House: I saw cracks on both both corners. Windows & doors were boarded. 2018-21. CCDU's Blueprint Convention Centre / Te Pae would be built next to survivor Isaac House.
30.06.13. Victoria Sq view, abandoned Forsyth Barr / Crowne Plaza Hotel left awaited repairs. Abandoned The National Bank / Isaac House right awaited new neighbour, NZ National govt's / CCDU's Blueprint Convention Centre / Te Pae, built 2018-21.

Colombo St to Gloucester St crossing: I saw demolition sites both sides of Colombo St, including Farmers demolition- site for CCDU's Blueprint Convention Centre / Te Pae, which would include part of Gloucester St, after Central Library ruin & Chancery Lane Arcade ruin were demolished.
30.06.13. Colombo St view, steel mesh fence cordon, demolition site, repaired Novotel left, abandoned Camelot Hotel middle, awaited demolition for Central Library / Turanga rebuild.

30.06.13. Orange, plastic, road barrier, steel mesh fence cordon. Colombo St view, abandoned Telecom left, abandoned Government Life middle, Cathedral Sq. Government Life would be demolished, an asbestos hazard. Telecom would survive the quakes
CCDU's Blueprint didn't mention any carparks for traffic using new Central Library / Turanga & the new Convention Centre / Te Pae & the new Performing Art Precinct. Gloucester St would become a dead-end at the new Convention Centre / Te Pae, as CCDU decided Gloucester St would no longer be a thoroughfare through Christchurch CBD!
Colombo St / Gloucester St crossing to Cathedral Sq: The NZDF-checkpoint was gone at last. As few demolitions nor restorations went on at Cathedral Sq over the last couple of years, why did CERA take so long opening Cathedral Sq?
30.06.13. ROAD CLOSED AHEAD. Orange, plastic, road cones. Cathedral Sq, NZDF checkpoint gone, Colombo St / Gloucester St. Ruined Christ Church Cathedral & Chalice sculpture behind

Cathedral Sq: Christ Church Cathedral ruin was surrounded by cordon fencing. At the east end, both sides, I saw a double-layer of shipping-containers standing alongside Cathedral walls, in case of collapse. Whenever I looked at Christ Church Cathedral, I saw loose, cracked stonework, belying Heritage hailers' restoration rants. The Tower had collapsed in the 22 February 2011 Quake. The Tower was demolished. The western facade part-collapsed in the 13 June 2011 Quake, leaving a gaping hole which was steel-braced. Pigeons roosted inside Christ Church Cathedral on roof-beams.
30.06.13. Serial quake trashed, fence cordoned, Christ Church Cathedral, Cathedral Sq. Abandoned Millennium Hotel / Distinction Hotel behind
Heritage hailers over the last three years since the 4 September 2010 Quake: It was strange that Anderton, a Catholic, hadn't ranted about restoring Christchurch Basilica, Barbadoes St, which was also ruined.

I trekked east around Christ Church Cathedral ruin: Its windows were boarded. Stacked shipping-containers cordoned the Cathedral there. I trekked past multi-storey Camelot Hotel ruin to repaired Novotel, ready for reopening in August. I trekked past a Novotel sign on Warners Hotel demolition-site. The sign disingenuously thanked Council & NZDF & CERA for keeping citizens safe. I saw a lawyer's notice on the same demolition-site.
30.06.13. Abandoned Camelot Hotel, Cathedral Sq, awaited demolition for Central Library / Turanga rebuild
30.06.13. Repaired Novotel, Cathedral Sq
Through a gap between Camelot Hotel & Novotel I saw Forsyth Barr / Crowne Plaza Hotel & Isaac Theatre Royal which bracketed CCDU's Blueprint Performing Arts Precinct. It would remain a demolition-site for years. Nearby, the foundation-cracked Town Hall would be restored. CERA's Blueprint Performing Arts Precinct (Court Theatre, Piano, Isaac Theatre Royal) would duplicate Town Hall's drama facilities.

South side of Christ Church Cathedral ruin, I saw boarded-windows & rubble beside the nave-wall. I saw a small turret grounded in overgrown grass. All was fence cordoned. I saw damaged masonry on the Cathedral Visitors Centre, on nave walls, on the chancel & on the the apse. Christ Church Cathedral was weak greystone / whitestone construction. Heritage hailers wanted to waste millions restoring the ruined Cathedral. Never mind swampland & Christchurch Fault on which Christ Church Cathedral was built! Never mind Bishop Matthews producing a plan for a new Cathedral! Across the road, I saw a silvery Smith crane parked next to part-demolished BNZ. The fence cordon in front of the Cathedral's western facade stopped citizens circling Christ Church Cathedral.
2019. Multi-storey Spark would be build on BNZ's demolition-site.

Cathedral Sq westwards I saw: ANZ demolition-site, SMF-cordoned, a hole filled with rubble, a heap of twisted steel-rebars & two yellow-diggers with teeth; public toilets; old PO & Tourist Information; abandoned multi-storey Rydges Hotel; Government Life (awaiting demolition) interspersed with more demolition-sites.

Colombo St: I left Cathedral Sq, past more ROAD CLOSED AHEAD threat-signs. I trekked southwards past ANZ demolition-site & apocalyptic Hereford St where a sausage-sizzle traded near a demolition rubble-crusher machine. For lunch I bought a cooked sausage, fried onion, slice of bread, $2 for kids' cancer care.

Colombo St: I trekked past ruins & demolition-sites to The Crossing at Cashel St & busy Restart Cashel Mall. (Demolition-sites east would become ANZ Centre. Demolition-sites west would become BNZ Centre). On the airbridge glass-wall, I saw an illusion-painting, part building, part sky. Post-quakes Council had encouraged street art. Example: Kiss it better! was plastered or painted on ruins & roadsides all over the CBD. Never mind USAR / TF graffiti & taggers' graffiti & advert boards / fence banners for myriads of contractors leeching ratepayers & taxpayers! A Council board, Colombo St: ADDING COLOUR AND CREATIVITY TO THE CENTRAL CITY. Pity Council hadn't added colour & creativity to Council housing which Council was slow to repair!

Cathedral Sq: I returned to my car & texted Leah to come & see reopened Cathedral Sq. On our return, on the west side the SMF-cordon was gone, so citizens could once again circle Christ Church Cathedral ruin unhindered by cordon fencing & glowering security & NZDF- soldiers & cops who were already lurking in their Cathedral Sq cop-kiosk, a cop-car parked alongside. (2021. That cop-kiosk would be demolished enabling contractors' space for so-called Christ Church Cathedral's reinstatement).
Two years & four months post 22 February 2011 Quake, Colombo St in the Zombie CBD was mostly demolition-sites & ruins & a few reopened shops like Ballantynes. Rebuilds manana! CERA's Blueprint didn't have any retail rebuilds on main street, Colombo St. Yet.
Restart Cashel Mall: Developers squabbled, doing little. The obvious place for a retail centre was demolition-sites opposite The Crossing, east side of Colombo St stretching towards Manchester St, past Hotel Grand Chancellor demolition-site & Holiday Inn demolition-site & Westpac demolition site. In time, that vast eastern demolition site would become ANZ Centre.
The Crossing 2015: Cashel Mall would have several retail developments including The Crossing, Colombo St; ANZ Centre, northeast Cashel St / Colombo St opposite The Crossing; BNZ Centre, northwest Cashel St / Colombo St by Restart Cashel Mall opposite Ballantynes. They would form a retail hub together with The Terrace development further up Cashel Mall near Bridge of Remembrance, Oxford Tce. Meanwhile, Restart Cashel Mall's shipping-container shops ticked over & abandoned Pagoda Court still awaited demolition for Kathmandu rebuild.

The Star Friday 28.06.13, MOTORISTS GO POTTY: "SCIRT planning manager Angus Bargh said SCIRT had about 130-150 'active' work sites with more than 80 detours on the network.
'My expectation after last week's rain is that every single detour will require some level of patching.'...
He said any potholes outside SCIRT's work sites should be reported to the council."
Christchurch citizens endured CERA's / SCIRT's apartheid even in fixing potholes: CERA's SCIRT or Council pothole repairs? Citizens endured the ongoing farce between CERA & Council: CERA dictated, Council resisted. Brownlee was Transport minister too & later on became Defence minister.
With all the court cases Brownlee endured over the years, Brownlee showed scant regard for security or court judgements: Brownlee & his entourage were caught sneaking through a Christchurch Airport side door to avoid domestic airline checks. 2014. Brownlee would be fined $2 000 for that contempt of airport security.
Although courts ruled that CERA's red-zoning was illegal, in 2015 after delays for red-zoners' uninsured vacant-land, Brownlee again would delay CERA payouts to red-zoners' uninsured vacant!
The Press Saturday 29.06.13: MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT IN CHRISTCHURCH, a full page trumpeting.
Mayor Parker raved about CBD anchor projects being cost-shared by the Crown & Council. He forgot to mention Ngai Tahu's Cultural Centre & expansion of the Hospital Precinct & the new Justice & Emergency Services Precinct & the Hagley Cricket Oval!
CERA's / CCDU's anchor project cost-sharing:
"Convention Centre Precinct. CCC $0. Crown contribution including land $284m. [By 2015 that fantastic cost would've exploded! June 2016. NZ National government would announce a scaled down Convention Centre, just a hall without hotel & offices & apartments & shops].
The Frame. CCC $0. Crown contribution including land $481m." [The Frame land had been taken from CBD landowners by CERA].
Disaster capitalism consequences: Mayor Parker's Council had allowed CERA to take new Convention Centre / Te Pae land between Victoria Sq across Gloucester St to Cathedral Sq, a massive block which included bits of Cathedral Sq. (Parker would soon be knighted!) Even bigger takes: Under mayor Parker, Council had allowed CERA to take vast CBD Frame land blocks: 1. East Frame bordered by Madras St, Manchester St, Oxford Tce, Lichfield St which was CCDU's wannabe parkland / Rauora Park, housing, commercial buildings. 2. South Frame, bordered by Tuam St, St Asaph St, Manchester St, Montreal St, including Innovation Precinct eastwards & the Hospital Precinct westwards & CCDU's obscure commercial developments. 3. North Frame Oxford Tce & ruined Centennial Pool area, CCDU's site for the Blueprint Margaret Mahy Family Playground.
CCDU's divide between East Frame & South Frame was obscure. At first CERA made the South Frame between Tuam St & St Asaph St. Post-CERA, Regenerate Christchurch would make Lichfield St the divide between East Frame & South Frame. 2019. Information boards would show Lichfield St divide at East Frame / Rauora Park. For consistency I would use Lichfield St divide in my East Frame & South Frame descriptions.
But CCDU's ever expanding wish-list, taking properties for The Frame involved many survivor buildings & businesses which would be destroyed by CERA, forced to relocate outside The Frame like car dealers. The Frame was just National government land speculation using taxpayers' money.
In future, even if the new Convention Centre / Te Pae & Frame developments were handed back to Council, Christchurch citizens would have no say whatsoever in their making. But they would've paid for both with their rates & taxes. Who would pay for their upkeep?
"Metro Sports Facility / Parikiore: CCC $147m. Crown contribution inclluding land $70m. [Luke would have to change jobs when his employer, Douglas Furniture relocated elsewhere for CERA's many demolitions for its Blueprint Metro Sports Facility].
Performing Arts Precinct: CCC $158m including Town Hall rebuild. Crown contribution including land $8m. [New mayor Dalziel & her new councillors would decide to repair the old Town Hall to obviate wasting money rebuilding a new Town Hall].
Central Library / Turanga: CCC $60m. Crown contribution including land $19m.
The Square [Cathedral Sq]: CCC $5m. Crown contribution including land $5m [Hogwash, Cathedral Sq was already there]!
Avon River Precinct: CCC $6m. Crown contribution including land $89m. [Hogwash, Avon River banks were already there, Council owned. If post-quake Watermark by Antigua Boatsheds was an example of development, it was a waste of money: just a boardwalk & revamped riverside paths & a concrete wall].
Bus Interchange: CCC $40m. Crown contribution including land $51m. [As per the temporary bus exchange on Tuam St, moving the new Bus Interchange further along Tuam St would cause traffic congestion on Colombo St & Tuam St & Manchester St].
Stadium: There would be debate for years, reported by The press articles, whether the new stadium, between Madras St & Barbadoes St, should be 25 000 seater, or 30 000 seater, or 35 000 seater, roofed or not. Never mind that the 2019 demolished AMI stadium was a 38 000 seater. 2023. After mayors Parker & Dalziel had gone, under new mayor Mauger the new stadium would sprout: a tubular steel & concrete structure.
Ratepayers would have to pay for an expensive stadium dictated by NZ National government & Council. Why didn't NZ Rugby contribute? Why didn't CBD hotels contribute? But CCDU had Blueprinted the stadium on the Christchurch Fault which had caused the 26 December 2010 Quake! Never mind all the devastating quakes post Boxing Day!
Who wanted to live in expensive East Frame, tilt-slab apartments near the vuvuzela stadium plonked in CERA's utopia?
Two more headlines from The Press:
Monday 01.07.13. COUNCIL SET TO LOSE CONSENTING POWER: International Accreditation New Zealand removed Council's accreditation for building consents.
CERA did little to sort out slow EQC & slow insurers, which citizens had complained about ever since the 4 September 2010 Quake. EQC's & insurers' slow payouts or repairs or rebuilds would drag out for years. Both Council & NZ National government already had nearly three years to speed up building consents processing.
Tuesday 02.07.13. EQC NEGOTIATES $3.25B IN REINSURANCE COVER
That was ironic, as NZ National government hadn't ensured that EQC was adequately reinsured pre 2010-2011 quakes, despite EQC's 2008 warnings to NZ National government, hence the farrago of the current inadequate cap of $100 000 for individual house repairs & avoidance by EQC & insurers which caused grief for 1 000s of claimants.
Pity The Press never adequately reported EQC's poor reinsurance pre-quakes, relying on commentator Bert's whinings in Stuff Co comments about "Bill's Big Blunder." Bill English was NZ National government's finance minister at the time. Bill had ignored EQC's warning about inadequate reinsurance.
"Following northern hemisphere negotiations undertaken by EQC's Hugh Cowan, the commission has reinsurance cover of $3.25 billion, up from the $2.5b of reinsurance cover from single events held prior to the 2010 earthquake..."
That media release by NZ National government / EQC was quietly done, soon after CERA & Council had trumpeted the above cost-sharing of CERA-foisted CBD anchor projects & the shafting of Council over building consents processing. The consents debacle was stage-managed by CERA to make NZ National government look good & Council to look bad.
CERA would give a media release, then The Press would copy it verbatim. When CERA later disestablished, its website media releases would be difficult to research, hidden in the CERA Document Archive controlled by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
"EQC has received 467 000 claims
It was about 37 per cent through the land settlements, but most of those settled so far were in the hill suburbs, Simpson said.
The insurer was also 37 per cent through its building claims..."
[Only 37% nearly three years post 4 September 2010 Quake!]
"In terms of the Canterbury Home Repair Programme, run by Fletcher EQR, about 40 000, or half of the 81 000 house repairs have been done. [Half the house claimants would suffer more freezing winters].
About 91 per cent of contents claims have been resolved."
EQC was pathetic nearly three years post 4 September 2010 Quake!
Headline from The Star, Wednesday 03.07.13: QUAKE 'HOMELESS' GROW
"Between 5 000-7 000 Christchurch people have been classed as 'homeless' in the latest statistics released by Ministry of Housing Innovation and Employment.
[Both Jake & Luke were classified 'homeless' as they couldn't find an apartment to share, despite searching & living in our Burnside rental till they found a rental to share. Both were well qualified & worked long hours in hospitality & joinery.]
The figures include people who have had to move out of their houses while undergoing earthquake repairs, people who cannot afford city's high rents [my sons' rents had inflated since quakes, current average $400 p/w.] and those living on the streets...
A ministry researcher Dan Martin... defined homelessness as people with 'insecure' housing including those who live on the streets and those in overcrowded homes...
But the situation won't get better until a peak in 2015-2016 because of demand for housing fuelled by rebuild workers arriving in the city, and people moving out of houses while they are being repaired...
City councillor Livingstone went public over his plans to move red-zone houses onto Council owned land for a cost of $80 000 per home, money he said was already sitting in the city council's coffers. [Livingstone hustled for imminent Council elections. Livingstone woke up late, despite sleep-walking at public protests in 2012.]
Likewise insurance & house relocation companies have called for red zone houses to be shifted to help address the housing crisis.
A CERA spokeswoman said it supports the relocation of houses and have assisted in shifting more than 100 houses so far."
2012. CERA minister Brownlee was in denial, saying there was no housing crisis. But Jake's Waltham flat was flooded in the 22 September 2010 Quake, then Jake endured six months' unemployment, overwintering in a broken-garage off Sherborne St, with a stinking chemical-toilet surrounded by liquefaction-mounds. We helped Jake financially during that tough time.
After that, Jake found a good apartment at Geraldine St, lived there a while, then moved to a friend's house in Albemarle St. He left recently, as his friend was having a baby & needed Jake's room. So Jake moved in with us at Heath St, Burnside. Jake & Luke wanted to flat together & searched for an apartment for months. No luck. So far, Luke had worked for nearly two years in the joinery industry & lived with us at Burnside. Jake had worked for eight years in the hospitality industry & flatted all that time. Our family was a microcosm of Christchurch's post-quake housing crisis.
So far, both Council-housing & State-housing were not being repaired fast enough. And consents for red-zoners' new housing were not being issued fast enough by Council. Hence National government intervened with a Crown manager nearly three years post 4 September 2010 Quake. Maryatt, Parker, Sutton & Brownlee had lots to answer for!
The Press again, Wednesday 03.07.13: MARRYATT TAKES LEAVE FROM COUNCIL The Press reported that town clerk Marryatt took indefinite leave & was under investigation. A Crown manager would be appointed to manage building consents until December 2014. Since before the quakes Council showed appalling management & Marryatt was responsible for debacle after debacle: dodgy Henderson property purchases; under-insurance of Council assets, like no insurance for Bromley sewage plant; giving staff 10 extra days paid leave per year; slow building consents...
Maryatt & his consents staff had issued consents for dangerous new buildings despite Council's faulty red / yellow / green stickering of buildings post 4 September 2010 Quake; despite buildings collapsing in subsequent quakes; despite public protests in 2012 about Sideshow Bob & Teflon Tony; despite the Royal Commission of Inquiry finding fault with Council's management: upshot an $80 000, Felicity Price report about inadequate Council internal communications which Marryatt said would improve. Ha!
Parker supported Marryatt's exorbitant salary & $68 000 salary increase. Parker was Brownlee's hand-puppet, both liking photo-ops. Both feared Labour's Dalziel becoming the new mayor post 2013 local Council elections.
Despite positive public opinion about Parker's media abilities post 22 February 2011 Quake, Parker was pathetic: In 2012 Parker was unable to control errant councillors, ao Parker asked Brownlee for help. Upshot: an appointed Crown manager who observed councillors for a couple of months, with Marryatt demanding councillors be gagged after his salary increase leak & some councillors publicly protesting about his salary increase. Marryatt took a grievance case against Council for the latter. Marryatt & Parker didn't want public attending Council meetings. Marryatt's excuse: "Commercially sensitive."
Unable to control Marryatt regarding non supply of Consents Accreditation information, Parker again asked Brownlee for help. Result: appointment of another Crown manager to supervise & upgrade Council' building consents issuing until the end of 2014. So much for democracy!
Friday 05.07.13. TV One News reported mayor Parker would not stand for a third term. (The Press Saturday-Sunday 06-07.07.13. MAYOR PARKER QUITS).
What a farce! Within a week the following had happened: Departure of NZDF-soldiers from CBD checkpoints; trumpeting of cost-sharing for anchor projects by Council & NZ National government; Council loss of consents accreditation; mayor Parker putting town clerk / consents boss Marryatt on indefinite leave; CERA minister Brownlee ensuring a Crown manager would sort out consents till the end of 2014; Puppet Parker, not standing for mayor again.
That left Christchurch demolition zones & rebuild zones open for a new mayor & councillors. Recycled Labour MP & mayoral candidate Dalziel had no competition. Parker's "A Team," those who'd supported Marryatt's $68 000 pay rise in 2012, wouldn't survive the next Council election. Public protestors had bayed for their blood in 2012!
On their watch, Parker & Marryatt had damaged Canterbury democracy: Pre-quakes, they'd supported the usurping of ECAN by appointed Crown managers (elected managers sacked) controlled by appointed dame Bazley. That allowed dairy farmers to overuse Canterbury Plains waters. Parker & Marryatt bought Auckland's Ellerslie Flower Show for $3m, a loss-maker (Weekend Press 3-4.08.13). They also bought crap CBD properties from bankrupt Henderson!
Post-quakes, Parker & Marryatt sold out several Council functions to usurping CERA, like SCIRT road works. They sold out to CERA, which took CBD Frame lands & CBD Convention Centre / Te Pae land, paying peanuts to CBD land-owners. They sold out to two appointed Crown managers in Council within two years. They sold out to CERA regarding CBD red-zone commercial land, like Convention Centre / Te Pae land & North, East & South Frame lands. They sold out to CERA regarding red-zone riverside & Port Hills residential-land. Parker & Marryatt sold out to NZ National government, enabling massive land takings in Christchurch CBD & riverside suburbs & Port Hills suburbs.
Parker said he was exhausted & Marryatt was on leave, not fronting up to ratepayers again, after giving Council workers 10 days extra paid leave per year, post-quakes.
I never heard Parker nor Marryatt complaining about the CERA / NZDF-occupation of Christchurch CBD, where initially cops & mostly soldiers manned red-zone checkpoints for 28 months post 22 February 2011 Quake. citizens were banned. Regarding Council consents & insurances, ratepayers would pay for Parker's & Marryatt's sellouts for years to come. NZDF-soldiers gone! Marryatt gone! Parker gone!
Meanwhile, citizens awaiting house repairs or rebuilds, still battled EQC & insurers. Some still existed in damaged housing while enduring their third post-quake winter. Having demolished Parker & Marryatt, it was time Brownlee jackbooted EQCs' & insurers' asses!
Tueday 30.07.13. Jake & Luke found a safe five-bedroom, wooden, two-storey rental near Heathcote River at Ashgrove Tce, Cashmere & moved in with three mates & hangers-on. Both my sons commuted long distances to & from their CBD & Merivale work over quake & SCIRT scarred roads, as there were no suitable rentals near their work.
Leah & I now enjoyed more space in our three bedroom, Burnside rental, but clearing out our sons' stuff, 28 years' worth, would need months of sifting, sorting & cleaning.
Our landlord increased our Burnside rent again, the second time in a year, saying that rates had increased & insurance had tripled! Given that insurers only planned to complete housing repairs / rebuilds by the end of 2016, it looked like a Ponzi scheme, whereby people like us living in survivor post-quake housing paid for rebuild / repairs of ruined housing via our post-quake exorbitant insurance premiums & rates!
The Weekend Press 3-4.07.13 house rental adverts showed only two Harcourts adverts & just 16 expensive house rentals. So much for Brownlee's market forces! The lack of housing for insurgent rebuild workers had forced rental prices up for long-time residents like us. (CERA idled, doing nothing about rebuild workers' housing, causing massive demand for rentals). Thus landlords, insurers & Council won with increased revenues. Tenants lost, as salaries & wages didn't rise. We paid for increased rental costs without any rise in Leahs' breadwinner salary, nor increase in our WINZ rental supplement!
NZ National government did nothing about the inflated rental market in Christchurch, as government was transfixed by the GCSB saga. Should PM Key's revised spy law be promulgated, more civil liberties would be lost, just like apartheid & post-apartheid SA. Smirking Key justified GCSB law changes to spy on NZ citizens, due to vague Kiwis training as Al Qaeda terrorists in Yemen! Key didn't name those Kiwis, nor their so-called terrorist activities. Key's comments were as sinister as his "weapon of mass destruction" referring to April's USA Boston Marathon bombing!
Although Key's NZDF-soldiers had left the Zombie CBD & cordon checkpoints, Key's CERA / CCDU appointees would infest Christchurch CBD till their use-by date, 18.04.16.
