The Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission
In New Zealand on 22 February 2011 the Canterbury region, including Christchurch, suffered a 6.3 magnitude earthquake in which 185 people died and many were injured.
The Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission of inquiry will report on the causes of building failure as a result of the earthquakes as well as the legal and best-practice requirements for buildings in New Zealand Central Business Districts. The inquiry began in May 2011.
Final reporting dates
To support the rebuild and repair of the Christchurch central business district, we will deliver our final report to the Governor-General in stages. Part one of the final report will contain recommendations to inform early decision-making about the central city's recovery from the Canterbury earthquakes. It will be delivered by 29 June 2012.
The rest of the Commission's final report will be delivered no later than 12 November 2012.
Do you have information about the CTV building?
We are interested in hearing from anyone who has knowledge about any aspect of the CTV building including the design, consent, construction, maintenance, modification, earthquake damage inspection or collapse.
