There was a big announcement today in Christchurch for nearly 6,500 earthquake damaged properties - they were in the orange zone, but a status change means they're now green zoned.

The new status gives them the all clear to rebuild the homes where they stand, or repair the land around them.

Earthquake minister Gerry Brownlee spoke to John Campbell.

I am so disappointed that they are allowing people to rebuild on EQ prone/damaged land. And So dissappointed with Gerry and friends
What insurance company will want to take on this risk and who will want to buy this land in the future.
And why should people be forced to risk going through this again with the concern of future EQ damage in CHC.
And the people of Brooklands have been waiting since SEP 2010 with very little communication as to what the future holds for them.
Has the government taken the cheap option without considering the long term effects of living and rebuilding in the areas.
CERA has been and overpaid joke and I held high hopes of them coming to the best decisions for CHC which is not the case
The stress of living in these EQ damage/ liquefaction zones is extremely hard to take anymore and who wants to go through that again ever!

Wow! We have gone from orange to green/blue...This means we should be red. What person in their right mind would want our land or house now? This announcement has left us bewildered. We have 2 choices (1) walk away and start again or (2) stay and rebuild and have a home that is worth nothing. Thanks to Gerry & Co our land has been blacklisted. Why not give us the choice to opt out like the red zone? This is so not fair! Cost cutting by the government I think. Now it's our problem. I realise the earthquakes are nobody's fault but come on give us all the same choices & chances!
