HERE IS A SLIGHLTY EXTENDED SECTION IN A NEWS ARTICLE. This seems to be an Australian/New Zealand English expression:
"Ten days after the quake the upmarket Victoria St retail precinct has changed forever, riddled with rubble-strewn lots which were once home to successful businesses.
Over the last week, the bulldozers have ripped down three large commercial sections, each housing between two and four businesses, leaving gaping holes in the street facade. This area of the city's retail is a relative newcomer, developed over the past seven years or so.
Another section housing the Canterbury Cheesemongers and Mods Victoria hair salon will be demolished in the next few days, while other businesses face an uncertain wait."
