Not sure why people act surprised every time. I think you need to get your facts right before you say things that might panic people even more. |

| 1208812 | 2011-06-14 03:57:00 | Everyone in chch should know by now they arent gonna stop anytime soon. Be stupid to think it's all over. That doesnt make it any easier though. We got off fairly lightly this time, in avonside. Bit of silt and lots of water but we have power and water back on today and no major damage to the house or contents. Just another mess to clean up. Spent up until now on a shovel at my parents removing an entire driveway of silt. The backyward is being ignored for now cos we just can't be ****ed with it. |

| 1208816 | 2011-06-15 04:50:00 | How long has it been since the September 7.1 earthquake !!, and (excuse the typing, b l o o d y after shocks, one just now), and the powers that be are still dithering about, oh lets have another meeting. Someone earlier mentioned, quote: is Christchurch viable. My opinion government should have taken land under emergency powers and had a housing started out where the ground is solid underneath. In fact the central city should be dis-mantled altogether, another 100 buildings collapsed there. Cape Campbell would be a great start for a new ChCh. Lianne Dalzell in our electorate (not my party) lives in Bexley. Why someone hasn't been sued over this building site being allowed to go ahead beats me, ECAN had blocked it but the developer appealed to the Environment Court and got their wish granted. Another Dave Henderson of Auckland type and scarpered overseas when the sale went through. That's what makes me feel sick if anything. Lurking. |

| 1208817 | 2011-06-15 05:00:00 | My wife and I looked at Bexley two years ago when we were looking for a new home, and we thought it looked great with the proximity to the water, birdlife etc. I started thinking kayaks, sailing dinghies etc. However, neither of us could work out how people were allowed to build on the land which is basically an estuarine swamp. We were so scared off by the look of the place that we didn't even ask to look at any houses there. And of course the bloody Nats have sacked ECAN, who obviously knew what they were doing when they tried to stop building in that area. I wonder who was the Environment Court judge/panel who overturned ECAN's decision? And are they sleeping soundly at night? |

Should do a swap with Ngai Tahu, they must have some of our good taxpayer land to exchange!. Lurking. Ps. liquefaction must be rising very close to the surface by now, the 1 in 4 chance of another "big one" is probably what the round table is waiting for, the scientists just keep pushing the deadline out, don't they. lurks. |

I don't know anything about the Bexley area - perhaps it would be high value for Ngai Tahu in relation to either historical associations or mahinga kai so they may want it. I know there is land along the Avon River that was the site of a kainga well into post colonisation times, but I think that has already been recognised - it is that section near the Barbadoes Street bridge that has the pou and interpretation panels. Ngai Tahu have bought quite a lot of their current land holdings - I haven't heard of them doing any land swaps but that may just be my ignorance showing. Thinks - I have some 'lurking' memory that there may have been swaps in relation to conservation land down south. |
