FERRYMEAD BROOKHAVEN RESIDENTS COMMUNITY MEETING

FERRYMEAD BROOKHAVEN RESIDENTS
COMMUNITY MEETING
MONDAY 7 NOVEMBER , 6:00 PM SHARP
(finish approx 7:30pm)


LOCATION: SAMOAN CHURCH (Mapusaga Fou), church hall, 9 Vili Place.
(This is off St Lukes Street, which is off St Johns Road, Woolston.
The church is the one that can be seen on the corner of Linwood Ave and DyersRoad).
Optional gold coin donation to offset expenses, tea & coffee, etc.

Residents have requested a community meeting specifically for our area. The purpose of the meeting is to update and inform residents about last Friday's land decision. Many of our residents were shocked and dismayed by the sudden announcement last Friday. It has been very challenging to come to terms with the way the message was delivered and the message itself. There was a widespread belief that most of Brookhaven would go red, due to area wide ground settlement caused by severe liquefaction. So naturally there are mixed emotions running throughout our community.

The meeting focus is to look to the future and understand the process and rationale of becoming Green/Blue TC3 and how we can move forward positively. Our residents should after the meeting be better informed about land, rebuilding and insurance issues. Our aim is provide relevant expertise on the night as a starting point to understand the process and the road ahead.

Speakers - Ruth Dyson has accepted an invitation to speak, David Carter is out of town but will send a message, CERA Geotech and a community liaison person will be there. Christchurch City Councillors Yani Johanson and Tim Carter will attend if their planning hearings finish early enough. EQC have been invited, but cannot attend, however we are sending them questions to answer and we will read them out at the meeting. We will also have local building industry people on hand to answer rebuild questions.

We also now have a Ferrymead Brookhaven Residents Association Blog
