RCP for latest stage in planning Convention Centre Precinct

CHRISTCHURCH CENTRAL DEVELOPMENT UNIT

Market Update #10

April 26, 2013

For Immediate Release

A firm has been appointed to manage the latest stage in planning Christchurch’s Convention Centre Precinct as the project’s momentum grows.

RCP was selected in a competitive Request for Quote process, against two other members of an industry panel, to be project managers for the Precinct’s planning and procurement of private sector partners to lead the development work.

Five preferred consortia for delivery of a Master Plan and the Precinct have already been selected to progress to the next stage after an Expressions of Interest process.

The Convention Centre Precinct is one of the key anchor projects in the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan.

PricewaterhouseCoopers is working on behalf of the Christchurch Central Development Unit and its partners to produce a Detailed Business Case for the Precinct.

The Crown has already purchased more than half of the land it requires for the Precinct. It is due to open for business in early 2017.
