earthquake anniversary. Te Puna Ahurea Cultural Centre A world class cultural centre was proposed for the north-west corner of Victoria Square on the site of the former Crowne Plaza. This centre was planned as a focal point for cultural celebration and diversity, and was to be led by Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. Ngāi Tahu abandoned this project in April 2016. Avon River Precinct The Avon River Precinct (Māori: and in the initial version of the recovery plan) was the redevelopment of the Avon River corridor through the central city, from the Antigua Street bridge at Christchurch Hospital to the Fitzgerald Avenue bridge at the eastern border of the central city. The park zoning extended from either side of the river and included a proposed redevelopment of Victoria Square. The project was jointly led by CERA and Christchurch City Council. The Square In a project led by Christchurch City Council, Cathedral Square was to be restored as the civic heart of the central city. CERA's regeneration plan proposed lower buildings on the north side to prevent shading (although when Christchurch City Council requested in 2019 that the Crown's rebuild agency take into consideration shading that would be caused by a proposed nine-storey hotel that is part of the convention centre, the request was denied) with little detail provided. The plan did mention the proposed central library and the convention centre, both planned as anchor projects for the north side of The Square, as well as space being "kept for a new cathedral", but was otherwise short on detail. The new library (Tūranga) opened in 2018; as of 2020, the convention centre is under construction, and the repair of the existing cathedral commenced in May 2020. Retail Precinct The development of the Retail Precinct was left to the private sector. By October 2011, private interests had combined and opened a temporary container mall known as Re:START, with Ballantynes, Christchurch's remaining department store, as the retail anchor. The project was a huge success and gained international attention for its quirkiness. In June 2014, about half the container mall moved to a different site to make way for a construction project. Re:START closed in January 2018. The development of permanent buildings in the Retail Precinct proceeded much more slowly than expected. The delay was caused by the planning rule imposed by CERA that each development project must have at least of land. As
