- The scandal of the Town Hall – closed for eight years? Or worse?
  - 21 May 2015
  - Wellington Scoop
  - Wellington’s Town Hall is under serious threat of eventual demolition. And in any case, according to the timetable received by councillors it is to be closed for at least eight years. The issue is not that it should be opened immediately but that strengthening should be immediately continued without delay.

- Harcourts - Court says no to demolition
  - 1 Nov 2014
  - Iona Pannett
  - Great news today that the Environment Court has for the second time said no to demolishing the Harcourts building on Lambton Quay. The decision just made public essentially has vindicated the Council position: that our District Plan sets a high bar for demolishing heritage buildings and that in this case, the bar was not reached. Interestingly, the Court also found no fundamental conflict between the operation of the Building and Resource Management Acts and found that leaving the building standing would not fundamentally compromise public safety.

- Dunajtschik demolition a done deal?
  - 2 May 2014
  - Eye of the Fish
  - News just in via the Stuff website that Mark Dunajtschik has won his appeal in the High Court against the Environment Court. But it does not mean that Mr D has the right to go out and demolish the building straight away – instead, a rehearing has been ordered. This legal stuff is exhausting, and expensive. With the amount that Mr D has spent on the legal costs so far, you might think that he could quite easily have just strengthened the building instead.

- cuba st project
  - The Cuba St Project was created in late 2011. I started to consider the implications of the Christchurch earthquakes and what it meant for Wellington. I love the heritage buildings throughout the city and I realized the earthquake prone condition of many of these buildings was going to become a massive issue. Owners of these buildings will need to invest huge money into either re strengthen or building new ones. What will this do to the current community located in the street? What will the street look like? There are a lot of unanswered questions that the city needs to consider.
