actions in relation to the red zone. 265 The Commission recommends that the Committee urge the Government to:  reconsider the offers that were made in 2016 and commit to working with property owners in the red zone on an individual basis to find a solution;  ensure that all Red Zone Recovery Plans and Programmes expressly require Councils to maintain services and infrastructure for those property owners who wish to remain;  consider the possibility of buy back provisions for former property owners accepted the Crown offers; and  encourage the Christchurch City Council to ensure that any planning decisions temporary or otherwise are not based on the arbitrary red zone designations, but rather on an individualised assessment of properties and in close consultation with property owners.
