Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Greater Christchurch Regeneration Bill. The amendments comprise substantive amendments and technical and drafting amendments.
Enhanced role for Regenerate Christchurch
Most of the substantive amendments in this Supplementary Order Paper provide for an enhanced role for Regenerate Christchurch. The amendments do this by—
adding Regenerate Christchurch to the list of organisations whose local leadership is to be recognised under clause 3:
providing for a specific process for the development and amendment of Plans that relate to Christchurch district, and a specific process for the revocation of such Plans, in which Regenerate Christchurch has the function of reviewing and making recommendations on outlines, draft Plans and amendments, and proposed revocations (new clauses 22A to 22L and 30A to 30K):
providing that only Regenerate Christchurch may be the proponent for the development or amendment of a Plan that relates to an area that includes any of the Christchurch residential red zone (and that does not include any area outside of Christchurch district) (new clause 12B(4)):
providing an opportunity for Regenerate Christchurch to provide the Minister with its views on another proponent’s finalised proposal for the exercise of the power in clause 42 to suspend, amend, or revoke all or part of an RMA document, council plan or other document if the proposal relates to a document as it applies in Christchurch district and not to any area outside that district (new clause 37(3) and (4)):
adding, to the list of Regenerate Christchurch’s functions in clause 91, a description of Regenerate Christchurch’s role in relation to the development of planning instruments.
Subpart 1 of Part 2—Development and implementation of planning instruments
Development and amendment of Plans that relate to Christchurch district: new clauses 22A to 22L
The new process that applies to the development or amendment of Plans that relate to an area of Christchurch district differs from the process that applies to the development or amendment of Plans that relate to an area of greater Christchurch in the following ways:
the proponent must seek the views of Christchurch City Council, Canterbury Regional Council, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, Regenerate Christchurch, Ōtākaro Limited, and the chief executive on the draft outline (new clause 22B(1)):
the proponent must submit the outline to Regenerate Christchurch (unless the proponent is Regenerate Christchurch, in which case the outline is submitted to the Minister for approval) (new clause 22B(2)):
Regenerate Christchurch must review the outline, and may amend it, before deciding whether to recommend the outline to the Minister for approval (new clause 22C) (and if Regenerate Christchurch declines to recommend the outline, the proponent may modify the outline and resubmit it to Regenerate Christchurch—see new clause 22E):
if the Minister considers that approving an outline that has been recommended by Regenerate Christchurch is an exercise of power permitted by clause 11, he or she must approve the outline (new clause 22D):
in developing the draft Plan or amendment, the proponent must seek the views of Christchurch City Council, Canterbury Regional Council, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, Regenerate Christchurch, Ōtākaro Limited, and the chief executive (new clause 22F):
the proponent must submit the draft Plan or amendment to Regenerate Christchurch (unless the proponent is Regenerate Christchurch, in which case the draft Plan or amendment is submitted to the Minister for approval) (new clause 22H):
Regenerate Christchurch must review the draft Plan or amendment, and may amend it, before submitting it to the Minister with a report that contains Regenerate Christchurch’s recommendation on whether the draft Plan or amendment should be approved (new clauses 22I and 22J):
in deciding whether to approve the draft Plan or amendment, the Minister must have particular regard to Regenerate Christchurch’s report (unless the proponent is Regenerate Christchurch) (new clause 22K).
This new process will apply only if the Plan relates only to an area of Christchurch district. For example, clauses 16 to 22 (and not new clauses 22A to 22L) would apply in the case of a proposal—
to develop a Plan that relates to an area of Christchurch district and an area of another district:
to amend a Plan that relates to an area of Christchurch district and an area of another district (regardless of whether the proposed amendment relates only to Christchurch district).
Development and amendment of Plans in Christchurch residential red zone
New clause 12B(4) provides that Regenerate Christchurch is the only party that may be the proponent for the development, amendment, or revocation of a Plan that relates to an area that includes any of the Christchurch residential red zone (and that does not include any area outside of Christchurch district).
Regenerate Christchurch may only submit an outline for the development or amendment of such a Plan to the Minister for approval if Ōtākaro Limited consents to that course (new clause 22B(9)). Similarly, Regenerate Christchurch may only submit a draft of such a Plan or a draft amendment of such a Plan to the Minister for approval if Ōtākaro Limited consents to the draft Plan or amendment being submitted (new clause 22H(4)).
In both cases, Ōtākaro Limited may not withhold its consent except for reasons that are consistent with 1 or more of the purposes of the Bill (new clauses 22B(4) and 22H(5)).
New Schedule 2A is inserted into the Bill to describe the Christchurch residential red zone for the purposes of subpart 1 of Part 2.
Revocation of Plans that relate to Christchurch district: new clauses 30A to 30K
The new process that applies to the revocation of Plans that relate to an area of Christchurch district differs from the process that applies to the revocation of Plans that relate to an area of greater Christchurch in the following ways:
the proponent must seek the views of Christchurch City Council, Canterbury Regional Council, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, Regenerate Christchurch, Ōtākaro Limited, and the chief executive on the draft outline (new clause 30B(1)):
the proponent must submit the outline to Regenerate Christchurch (unless the proponent is Regenerate Christchurch, in which case the outline is submitted to the Minister for approval) (new clause 30B(2)):
Regenerate Christchurch must review the outline, and may amend it, before deciding whether to recommend the outline to the Minister for approval (new clause 30C) (and if Regenerate Christchurch declines to recommend the outline, the proponent may modify the outline and resubmit it to Regenerate Christchurch—see new clause 30E):
if the Minister considers that approving an outline is an exercise of power permitted by clause 11, he or she must approve the outline (new clause 30D):
if the outline is approved, the proponent must develop the proposed revocation and submit it to Regenerate Christchurch (unless the proponent is Regenerate Christchurch, in which case the proposed revocation is submitted to the Minister for approval) (new clauses 30F and 30G):
Regenerate Christchurch must review the proposed revocation, and may amend it, before submitting it to the Minister with a report that contains Regenerate Christchurch’s recommendation on whether the proposed revocation should be approved (new clauses 30H and 30I):
in deciding whether to approve the revocation, the Minister must have particular regard to Regenerate Christchurch’s report (unless the proponent is Regenerate Christchurch) (new clause 30J).
This new process will apply only if the proposed revocation concerns a Plan that relates only to an area of Christchurch district. For example, clauses 24 to 30 (and not new clauses 30A to 30K) would apply in the case of a proposal—
to revoke a Plan that relates to an area of Christchurch district and an area of another district:
to revoke part of a Plan that relates to an area of Christchurch district and an area of another district (regardless of whether the part of the Plan to be revoked relates only to Christchurch district).
Subpart 2 of Part 2—Dealing with land and other property
Clause 60 is amended to more clearly express the requirement to comply with any requirements to offer land back before declaring it to be subject to the Land Act 1948.
Clause 77 is amended to provide that the chief executive must be satisfied that there has been a significant change in the character of the land.
Subpart 3 of Part 2—Compensation under this Act
Clause 78 is amended to clarify the relationship between this clause and the transitional provision in Schedule 1. That transitional provision provides that if a claim for compensation under section 40 or 41 of the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011 has been made before the commencement of subpart 3 of Part 2, the 2011 Act applies to it.
Subpart 6 of Part 2—Transfers of assets, liabilities, and Crown agreements
Clause 106A is recast for consistency with new clause 106B.
New clause 106B provides for the transfer of Crown assets and liabilities (including those relating to Crown agreements) and land to Ōtākaro Limited.
New clause 106C allows for the transfer of a designation described in Christchurch’s district plan from the Minister for Canterbury Earthquake Recovery to Ōtākaro Limited. This provision already existed in the Bill as clause 110A. This Supplementary Order Paper moves the provision to subpart 6 of Part 2 so that it will have effect from the day after the date on which the Bill receives the Royal assent.
Clauses 106A to 106C are not subject to clause 11 (which imposes certain conditions on the exercise of a power under the Bill by a Minister or chief executive).
Departmental disclosure statement
The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority considers that a departmental disclosure statement is not required to be prepared for this Supplementary Order Paper.
