The prior year information in the Summary of Financial Activity table has been restated to reflect the current Vote structure, including the recognition of unappropriated expenditure arising from technical accounting decisions made during the preparation of the Crown's and Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority's financial statements.

The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority was established in March 2011 in response to the major earthquakes of 4 September 2010 and 22 February 2011. Since establishment, a number of strategic priorities have evolved and as one priority decreases another will increase in importance.

Central Business District Rebuild Zone

  • The purchase or acquisition of land continues in order for Anchor Projects to support the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan.
  • There are currently 16 Anchor Projects planned to support Christchurch Central Recovery Plan including but not limited to:
    • redevelopment of the environs of the Avon River from the hospital to the loop to support environment recovery
    • development of the Justice and Emergency Services Precinct to support infrastructure recovery
    • development of the public realm within the city frame to support environment recovery
    • development of the Christchurch Convention Centre to support economic recovery
    • development of a replacement Stadium to support economic and cultural recovery
    • development of residential accommodation within the central city.
  • The total amount required to complete the development of Anchor Projects is subject to final scoping and agreements with lead contractors.
  • The amount of non-Crown funding for Anchor Projects and decisions on the timing of revenue from the Christchurch City Council and other 3rd party participants are being finalised.

Residential Red Zone

  • The acquisition of residential red zone properties is winding down with most of the policy decisions on red zoning completed or nearing completion.
  • The demolition and site clearance phase of residential red zone properties is continuing.
  • The on-going management of red zone properties post demolition and clearance of above ground structure.
  • The management of bare land is posing a new set of challenges to be worked through prior to final decisions on the future use of the red zone.

Horizontal Infrastructure

  • The establishment of the horizontal infrastructure governance group will ensure that the expenditure on infrastructure projects meeting the goals and aspirations of the Crown in its role of funding the recovery of Christchurch and wider Canterbury region.

Explanations of the reasons for changing the appropriation structure are noted in the details of each appropriation in Parts 2-4. However the above changes in appropriation structure arose from the conversion of two annual appropriations to two multi-year appropriations which better reflect the multi-year nature of the programmes associated with these appropriations and the transfer of funding from an existing multi-year to a new multi-year appropriation for activities associated with providing transport solutions in Christchurch.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#

The timing of remaining transactions remains uncertain, therefore the 2014/15 appropriation has been increased to reflect the timing of settlements not expected to be completed in 2013/14.

The transfer of appropriation from 2012/13 to 2013/14 reflects the delays experienced in the acquisition of properties in the Port Hills and remaining flat lands partly due to timing of critical policy decisions and the outcome of legal proceedings.
