From The Press: Christchurch community representatives are being sought
for a new earthquake group that will report to the Government.
On Wednesday 27, April, Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee
called for expressions of interest from people wanting to join a
community forum to be formed under the new Canterbury Earthquake
Recovery Act. Brownlee said he was looking for representatives of
community-based groups.
Under the act, Brownlee must invite at least 20 people who are "suitably
qualified" to take part in the forum.
"The intention is to involve a range of grassroots community, business,
social and cultural interests in the forum," he said. "It will, in the
main, be made up of non-elected persons who take a representative role
in their communities."
The forum will give Brownlee information and advice on how the act is
working across Canterbury.
Community-based organisations wanting to nominate someone should email a
brief curriculum vitae of their nominee to <email obscured>
by 5pm next Wednesday.
