Christchurch residential red zone

LINZ clears and manages Crown-owned properties in the residential red zone areas in greater Christchurch.

Our specific responsibilities are: 

• leading the handover of Crown-owned residential red zone land so it progressively becomes owned and managed by Christchurch City Council
• clearing Crown-owned buildings and land, mainly in the Port Hills residential red zone
• day-to-day maintenance of the land 
• assessing requests to access and to use the land temporarily. 

Currently we do not make offers to buy properties from red zone residents.
