More than 1,000 buildings still in need of full or partial demolition.
The pace of building demolition approvals in the Christchurch CBD has slowed since the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) took over from the Civil Defence a month ago.
The list of buildings requiring demolition, partial-demolition or requiring to be made safe was updated yesterday, with 482 buildings now on the list. However CERA has only added 83 buildings to the list since taking over from the Civil Defence a month ago.
