Land assessments complete, reports coming by April

All initial assessments of land claims were completed by EQC’s engineers by 17 December 2011. Individual reports for each property are currently being prepared and checked. We will provide customers with their land reports. The report will provide an overview of the nature and extent of the damage sustained to land and will be in a format that is easily understandable for the customer.

To finalise these reports, we need additional LiDAR data. LiDAR aerial mapping identifies the changes which have occurred to land across Canterbury as a result of all earthquake events since September 2010. Most customers with a land claim will have their initial land assessment reports by the end of April. For some properties, there may be a requirement for more detailed assessments and we will contact those customers soon.
