The members of CCANZ are passionate about the sustainable development of Christchurch and the broader Canterbury region to ensure a vibrant, economic, social and environmental fabric flourishes in the years ahead.
CCANZ is committed to providing whatever assistance it can in the re-build of this important City. In addition, the concrete industry has the local capacity to supply the concrete and concrete masonry demand of the city now and into the future.
The region has a strong affiliation to concrete as a sustainable material of choice in the built environment, and world leading reinforced concrete design solutions have been and are continuing to be developed at the University of Canterbury.
CCANZ is supportive of the redevelopment of Christchurch and the notion that “Our Central City will be strong, vibrant and prosperous, at the heart of a 21st century Christchurch”. The 2010 and 2011 seismic events provide a unique opportunity to develop innovative urban design and construction excellence to deliver the concept of a city within a garden. Concrete clearly has an important role to play.
