Canterbury Earthquake Heritage Building Fund
A special appeal has launched to help fund the repair, restoration and strengthening of character and heritage buildings damaged during the Canterbury earthquake.
The purpose of the Fund is to provide assistance to owners of heritage buildings to repair damage caused by the Canterbury earthquake of 4 September 2010, Christchurch earthquake of 22 February 2011, and aftershocks. Funding will be targeted at the gap between insurance cover, and the actual cost of repairs and associated works including conservation works, structural upgrading and Building Code compliance works.
The Fund will consist of contributions from territorial authorities, the New Zealand Historic Places Trust, and donations. Any funds received will be matched by the government who have set aside up to $10 million. This was set up prior to the 22 February Christchurch Earthquake.
Retaining and repairing heritage and character buildings will be a lengthy and complex process that will require substantial funding above what has been received to date. All donations are welcomed.
