There's no surprise from the Christchurch Mayor that construction is booming in Canterbury.
The region's councils consented about 6,500 homes in the year to November – a fifth of the country's new builds.
The number of consents in Christchurch was also triple Wellington's.
Phil Mauger told Ryan Bridge there's been a billion-dollars worth of new homes built in Christchurch – half being units, townhouses, or apartments.
He says they're aiming for 20-thousand more people in the central city.
