Christchurch Bus Interchange Going Ahead
Christchurch Bus Interchange Going Ahead
Several
consultants have been brought on board as planning for
Christchurch’s new central city Bus Interchange moves
ahead.
The Bus Interchange is one of the anchor projects in the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan. It proposes a single centralised facility in the block bounded by Tuam, Colombo and Lichfield Streets and SOL Square, to provide the operational and administrative hub for the bus network in the city.
Following a Request for Quote process run by the Christchurch Central Development Unit, Coffey Projects have been engaged as project managers, Aurecon to provide engineering advice for the project’s Detailed Design Brief, and Architectus to provide architecture and urban planning advice for the Detailed Design Brief. PricewaterhouseCoopers has been engaged to prepare a business case for the project.
The Detailed Design Brief and business case are expected to be completed by the end of August 2013. A Request for Proposal will be issued for the development of the Bus Interchange later in the year. Physical work on the Bus Interchange is expected to start on site in the middle of 2014.
