TC3 – Southern Response’s approach

Southern Response have added a brief outline to their website on how they will be responding to claims from those on TC3 land.

The outline (here) reads:

Southern Response is stepping up its repair and rebuilding activity on properties on technical category 3 land (TC3) as part of its overall Canterbury rebuild strategy.

Over the next few weeks we are writing to all of our customers with TC3 homes whose rebuild or repair plans are not already underway, urging them to press ahead with their insurance settlement election.  If our TC3 customers want to rebuild their house we can then get their home into our pre-design queue immediately.

We have a number of projects already underway on TC3 land - currently more than 600 properties are in our pre-design and build queues; of those 191 are in design/documentation, seven are currently under construction, and two are completed.

Letters will go first to TC3 customers who have received a Decision Pack and not yet advised us of their settlement election.

Copies of the covering letter, information sheet and FAQ’s can be accessed from the bottom of the page (here).
