"When average prices are $500,000 in Christchurch and $1 million in Auckland, you can certainly see the appeal," said Kelvin Davidson, senior economist for property analysis firm CoreLogic.

The controversial relocation of Christchurch's Citizens' War Memorial has received financial backing for a proposed move to Cranmer Square.

The Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust (CEAT), set up to administer post-earthquake donations, has confirmed it will "support" the removal of the 82-year-old cenotaph, which has stood alongside Christ Church Cathedral since 1937, if resource consent is approved.

Moving the 300-tonne cenotaph is estimated to cost up to $1.5 million, but CEAT secretary Neil Cooper would not say how much the trust would cover "as we've not made this figure public yet".

A once thriving central Christchurch thoroughfare now runs into a giant concrete wall, but the developers say the site will be "wrapped with pedestrian-friendly spaces" eventually.

Gloucester St in central Christchurch has become a dead end thanks to a new concrete wall built for the new convention centre Te Pae.

A spokesman for Crown rebuild company Ōtākaro, which is developing the convention centre, said the concrete wall would eventually be obscured by a separate new development. Once the convention centre was complete, there would be a footpath running around the new building to the river.
