Government's Red Zone Process Completely Wrong
Government's Red Zone Process Completely Wrong, Defies Supreme Court
Cera and the government's
belated announcement of further delays in
their
consultation process regarding the Red Zone came as no
surprise to
the hundreds of homeowners and land
owners.
The Quake Outcasts group, representing property
owners in the flat lands
of Christchurch, and Port Hills
Section Owners' Group, representing
section owners in the
Port Hills, have the following statement:
"The Supreme
Court clearly says the red zoning process was
completely
unlawful. The government should have consulted
with affected residents
PRIOR to the announcement of the
zoning decision. And now the
consultation process
initiated is completely wrong and is in conflict
with the
Supreme Court ruling."
"The government has known what we
need for 3 years. The consultation
process is a public
relations exercise in an attempt to legitimise
unlawful
policies."
