A Christchurch City Council committee is gauging housing providers' interest in land on some edges of the red zone.

A group that has long advocated for community use of earthquake-damaged red-zoned land in Christchurch says it would be concerned by any moves to sell off parcels for housing.

Christchurch City Council's newly-established Ōtākaro Avon River corridor regeneration committee has put out a request for information to gauge interest from housing providers on some edges of the red zone.

The process covers all previously approved edge housing areas identified within the Ōtākaro Avon River corridor regeneration plan.
