Rangiora is the largest town in Waimakariri, a district that has identified more than 330 hectares of land for future residential development. Christchurch City is the single largest source of new residents, and the steady flow north keeps a constant supply of graded platforms meeting each other at different levels.
Established streets and new subdivisions: two Rangiora retaining jobs
Two quite different jobs in one town. In the older streets it is low landscape walls and replacement of 1980s timber that has rotted at ground line. In the new subdivisions it is boundary retaining between platforms.
The older work is usually exempt from consent and straightforward. The subdivision work depends on the retained height and whether a driveway sits above.
Building the Rangiora boundary retaining wall once
Where both sides of a boundary are building at the same time, one wall serving both is cheaper and tidier than two walls a year apart. That takes a conversation between owners early.
Where one side is not yet built, the wall has to be designed for the level that will eventually exist there rather than the bare platform sitting there now.
