North Wellington v BNU – 17th April 2010

Does the city really need to spend $100m for a heavy metal band?
- Wellington Scoop
- What do you do if you own a waterfront events centre which has been reviled as looking like a Soviet ablution block? What do you do when almost all the reviews criticise its acoustics and sightlines? The last thing you’d do would be to consider making it bigger. Yet this is exactly what the owners of the building are talking about – “expanding the capacity” as “a possibility.”
