Town Hall makeover
* The conservation and refurbishment of the Christchurch Town
Hall for performing arts will soon get under way.
The Christchurch City Council included the Town Hall project in
the 2009-19 LTCCP. Funding for the $19.9 million conservation and
refurbishment of the Group 1-listed heritage building is already in
place. There are also plans to expand the Christchurch Convention
Centre, but these depend on securing additional funding at a
national level.
Vbase, which owns and operates the Town Hall, Christchurch
Convention Centre, AMI Stadium and Westpac Arena, will now talk with
stakeholders to confirm the plans. The project depends on the
necessary consents being obtained.
