I assumed it would have been fixed, in some way, by now.
Is there a plan to fix/rebuild it?

Yes, very sad  :cry:

Actually spent our honeymoon in New Zealand in 09, with Christchurch as our starting and finishing point.

It is a beautiful city, and the cathedral was magnificent. We stopped inside to explore, but we didn't pay the money to go to the top of the tower. I wish we had now.

Sad to see. :-\  I was actually working with a couple of girls from Christchurch at the time of the quake who were, very understandably, extremely worried about family and friends.  Happily for them everyone was OK.

Have mixed feelings about Christchurch, was there in '03. Wanted to treat myself to a nice X-mas dinner only to find out that even KFC and McD were closed :ahhh

 :D

Btw, awesome Signal pictures... hope they rebuild, one day I will return to NZ for a visit :tu:
