It's a new day for Christchurch, but what should be the next priority for redevelopment? Digital image / P.K. Stowers

Plans for Christchurch's rebuild have been criticised by commercial developers who believe it is unworkable.

The Property Council made a submission to the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority calling the Christchurch City Council's draft central city plan restrictive and saying it was undermining the business community's efforts to rebuild.

The plan provides the framework to guide the redevelopment of the central area, including more than 70 projects and initiatives to be implemented during the next 10 to 20 years.

   "Sort out the Council. There is no building on a faulty foundation. What Christchurch needs is a forward-thinking, selfless team behind it."
3. Harry L says
   "There are lots of buildings being torn down, but hardly any new construction, and the start of a large project would show people that investment is being made in the community"
