Making up for a million dollar loss
- Wellington Scoop
- The Wellington City Council, after ten years, has decided to resume earning an income from the two billboards on top of the Embassy Theatre. When the city council took over ownership of the 1920s building from the Embassy Theatre Trust more than ten years ago, advertising deals were in place which earned $100,000 a year from the high-profile signage. But the council decided it didn’t want advertising. Except for itself. The commercial deals ended. As did the income.

Back to the (museum) future
- Wellington Scoop
- Confused? Te Papa is short of money, with a deficit reported as being $8m. Yet the government is investigating the idea of creating a second national museum in Wellington. The DomPost reports this morning that a feasibility study accepted by Cabinet in July has resulted in a business case being prepared for a National War Memorial Museum that could be open by 2020 in the old Dominion Museum building that’s now controlled by Massey University.
