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. harcourts-building earthquake-strengthening election-2013-candidates local-body-elections Sat, 01 Nov 2014 00:00:00 GMT http://ionapannett.blogspot.com/2014/11/blog-post.html Iona Pannett 2014-11-01T00:00:00Z -41.2845319 174.7756861 Grey Street, Wellington Central, Wellington, 6012, New Zealand/Aotearoa http://ionapannett.blogspot.com/2014/10/blog-post_84.html Great news that NZ owned TSB Bank has signed for another 10 year sponsorship deal for the Arena on the waterfront but I do think this is the worst building in the city - monolithic, no architectural merit, still do not know how it got oonsent.
