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.
