Almost eight years to the day after the Cranford Regeneration plan was approved by Gerry Brownlee, acting as the Minister supporting Greater Christchurch Regeneration, work to progress housing in the area is getting underway.
While the plan originally envisaged around 370 new houses, the figure currently quoted by the Council is around 1400 new homes. Think Papanui understands that this figure relates to part of the total area to be developed.
The Council now has a web page with information on Council- and developer-led projects, including water and wastewater upgrades, options for alternative access to the site, a trial of ground conditions, and flood management work.
