Wagner NickyParts 1 and 2 schedules 1 and 2 and clauses 1 and 2Hon NICKY WAGNER (National): Thank you very much Madam Chair. I'd like to make some comments on Part 1 just to start this bill off. Basically Part 1 deals with quite a lot of concerns that came out of the submissions and the main theme that it deals with is the need to have a very clear purpose clause and carefully thought through definitions. This was basically to ensure that we got it right in terms of appropriate methodology for reinstatement. To do that the Environment Committee made several amendments to the bill.I'd just like to have a look at Part 1 new clause 2A; we added this in. This is to give a little bit of background to the Act. Basically what it does is it explains that this legislation is part of the Government's offer and that it does reflect a very long period of facilitation negotiation and investigations and it references the two key reports including the Cathedral Working Group report. It reflects on the Miriam Dean report which was that engineering report and then also on the Cathedral Working Group report. We thought that was particularly important simply because this was the document that we managed to get agreement on from stakeholders around the table. This was the document that people did the negotiating in. This is how they did the thinking for the governance the thinking for the costing the thinking for the fund-raising and the thinking for the future of the cathedral. People around that table had to make some kinds of trade-off and so it was important that that was included in the bill.We also added to the purpose of the bill. We added the purpose of the bill—and this is in clause 3(1)—to highlight the importance of this legislation and the importance of the building itself and its reinstatement in terms of the well-being of the city of Christchurch and the people of the city of Christchurch. We said it was important because of its contribution to the cultural the social and the economic well-being of the city—in other words for the people of Christchurch and for our tourist industry. We also noted its importance in terms of the regeneration of Christchurch—the fact that the building was being left to decay meant that the city centre wasn't coming alive wasn't having the vitality that we want to see in the city centre. We also noted its heritage value because of course that is the guiding light of this particular building. So we increased the purpose there.We also made sure that we made it very clear what this legislation was going to do in terms of the process. What it was going to do was it was going to mean that we could expediate the process so that we could do this in a timely manner. It was also to help with the cost-effectiveness of the process and it was to give the greatest certainty and confidence that both the owner of the cathedral and the Christchurch community needed. This was particularly important because we do want to get this work underway we want to get it done quickly and efficiently and we want to make sure that we can pay for it.Further down in clause 4 we were just very careful to make sure that the definition of cathedral" didn't just rely on the particular body of the church itself but also its auxiliary buildings that were directly related to the cathedral and we made sure that we gave the definition of the lot and then also we talked about as I've said the detail of the Cathedral Working Group report as such.If we just go over to the next clause which is the actual reinstatement definition we did quite a lot of work on this because submitters were concerned that we had the word "demolition" in there and they were concerned that people might feel that we were going to destroy some of the building without replacing it. So we replaced that clause with "construction reconstruction or restoration of any part of the Cathedral" and we also talked about the use of new materials. We did also debate whether we should include the use of new technologies but we felt the new technologies were connected to the new materials; so that covered it.Finally we talked about the fact—it was sort of like belts and braces—that the activity was reinstatement if it was not full reinstatement or it didn't get back to the original condition of the state. That was to give flexibility around the term "reinstatement". So I think we did a good job to clarify the purpose and I think we did a really good job to put flexibility around the definitions of those words. Thank you Madam Chair."
