    • Harcourts - Court says no to demolition
      • 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.
