Technical and Community Advisory Group
The Technical and Community Advisory Group acts as a sounding board and discussion forum to support Regenerate Christchurch through the development of the draft Ōtākaro Avon River Regeneration Plan.
The purpose of the Technical and Community Advisory Group
Critique and provide feedback and comment on the information, studies, assessments and scenarios developed by the Project.
Provide information and knowledge on the community (environmental, resilience, cultural, economic and social) needs and networks in the communities that have connections within the residential red zone.
Note: this is not a decision-making group. Members have no powers of veto – the process is an information-sharing experience only.
