Two more zones in Christchurch's CBD are set to open up in the coming days.

National Controller for Civil Defence John Hamilton said zone four north, which is encompassed by Bealey Avenue, Montreal Street, Salisbury Street and Park Terrace, will open to business owners and residents at 8am on Sunday.

Zone 7A, which is encompassed by Chester Street East, Madras Street, Barbados Street and Oxford Terrace will be open to residents and business on Monday at 8am.

Mr Hamilton said military check points will remain in place at the edges of zone 7A, so the general public don't make their way into restricted areas.
