Agencies in charge of regenerating Christchurch s red zone say good progress is being made but some are worried there s still no clear plan of action for the space.
Pathways, public facilities, landing sites and the restoration of ecological areas are proposed for the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor.

The Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor (OARC) red-zone is 600 hectares in size, about four times the size of Hagley Park or Auckland s Cornwall Park.
The red zone housed 9000 people before the Christchurch earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. If you walk through the area now it is mostly grass where houses once stood with their established gardens still intact.
But Kerr’s plan has been criticised by the council’s urban development agency, Development Christchurch Limited (DCL), which completed a preliminary due diligence report on the proposal. DCL’s report stated: “There are commercial and financial aspects of ORC’s proposal that are not sufficiently robust to be capable of acceptance in whole or in part at the current time.” The risks were high, it said.

The Christchurch City Council has decided not to endorse Rob Kerr’s river red zone, for now, but the door is still open. However, it noted the proposal merited further progression, given the significant community, environmental and economic benefits to be gained.
