Do intangible aspects of the Christchurch landscape present the key to maintaining identity and rebuilding the city post earthquake? Landscape theory supports this contention. How can Christchurch retain community identity and sense of place? download speech

Standards New Zealand - assistance for Cantabrians
Standards New Zealand (SNZ) wants to do what they can to help Cantabrian NZILA and/or SNZ members, Standards development committee members, nominating organisations, Online Library subscribers, and customers purchasing Standards whose businesses have been affected by the recent earthquakes.

Here are the ways SNZ can assist:

A special 'Canterbury Room' has been set up at SNZ's offices at 155 The Terrace, Wellington, for Canterbury-based members, development committee members, nominating organisations, subscribers, and customers to use when you visit Wellington.

The 'Canterbury Room' is equipped with desks, a telephone, and internet-enabled PCs (or you are welcome to use your own laptop and access our Wi-Fi connection). You are also welcome to use SNZ's kitchen facilities.

- You won't need to book - simply come to the SNZ counter on Level 10 at 155 The Terrace and sign in, then ring the bell and let the Customer Services staff know you'd like to use the Canterbury Room.
  
SNZ has set up a special travel fund to provide financial support to Canterbury-based committee members affected by the earthquake who need financial assistance to enable them to attend development meetings in New Zealand. If you haven't received information from SNZ on this yet and feel you are eligible for this assistance, please email michelle.wessing@standards.co.nz , General Manager Solutions.
  

SNZ is offering a special, 6 months free Online Library subscription to any Canterbury-based committee members, subscribers, Standards New Zealand members, or customers who have been affected by the Canterbury earthquake and have lost their hard copy Standards collections, their PCs/servers, and/or PDF collections of Standards. This offer will enable access to your chosen Standards through the Standards New Zealand website. An information sheet explaining this offer and an application form are attached - please send your completed application form to SNZ (see form for details).

Southern Branch 2x2
held Beca Offices hosted by Mike Moore on 8 November 2011

Five landscape architects held an project evening in Dunedin at Beca offices Tuesday 8th November 2011 and hospitality of Mike Moore.

The evening was based on the 2x2 format but rapidly developed into lively discussion and review of 12 -14 projects presented and over an extended time.

Projects included:
- a 're-visioning' master plan for a medium/large boutique vineyard in Central Otago,
- a wetlands waste treatment project,
- industrial mitigation planting,
- senior hospital redevelopment,
- sustainable living and auditing programmes for waste management and landscape materials in Thailand and in Dunedin. and
- ingenious efforts of Council LA's to continue to provide imaginative public open space on reducing finance.

The group aims to meet again shortly, share news on products and relevant professional courses that may be held in Dunedin, and to aim to hold a wider professional development event with potential interest to the wider rural community.
