Historic Places Canterbury Submission to:

Regenerate Christchurch:
“Draft concept and key moves for the Square and surrounding area”

Introduction:

Heritage buildings and sites often change through generations and in the way they are used and function that often differs from their original intention.

Heritage organisations and individuals acknowledge these changes occur and that heritage building and sites can accommodate change by using appropriate “Adaptive reuse principles,” to keep them vibrant and relevant to their time and circumstance.

Historic Places Canterbury is encouraging of designs that seek to make the Cathedral Square vibrant and relevant to a post “quake” Christchurch.  Any re-design of Cathedral Square however must be respectful of its heritage status under the District Plan (Scheduled as “Highly Significant”) and acknowledge in its layout and new additions its past functions and shape that made it a premier civic space and transport hub.

Historic Places Canterbury cannot support the Draft Concept as proposed by Regenerate  Christchurch as we deem it to be deeply un-sympathetic with an inappropriateness that borders on being  disrespectful of Cathedral Square’s heritage. Indeed Regenerate Christchurch ignores and fails to mention the protected status of Cathedral Square and its history.  (more…)

Submission on A Liveable City on behalf of Historic Places Canterbury (HPC)

HPC generally supports the visions for a Liveable City as set out in the draft document. However we feel that there is a serious disconnect between the vision which has been articulated and the changes to the rules of the City Plan by which the vision is intended to be achieved.

HPC wishes to oppose the following aspects of the Liveable City plan Changes: (more…)

Draft Heritage Building and Places Recovery Programme for Greater Christchurch – (Text Of) Submission By Historic Places Aotearoa

"The fact that the draft document remains a draft over 3 years after the event and will not be binding is symptomatic of a major problem with the document. It is ineffectual in what it offers and is far too late to be of any significant assistance..."

“Submission from IConIC on Draft Heritage Building and Places Recovery Programme for Greater Christchurch”

IConIC logoDr Ian Lochhead has generously supplied us with the text of the IConIC submission.

The text of the submission is as follows: (more…)
