Christchurch's Mayor doesn't think previously red zoned land has been tainted by its past.  

The City Council's agreed to engage with interested parties, including social housing providers, iwi, and private developers.  

It's identified more than 10 hectares of land, split across 11 parts of the quake damaged zone, suitable for housing. 

Phil Mauger told Mike Hosking work will be needed on the foundations, but it's suitable to live on.  

He says 15 years ago red zoned land was defined by a ball point pen by someone in Wellington – now we know a lot more and there are some little pockets that could be used.
