Fate of historic building in limbo due to council funding woes
Kia ora neighbours, the fate of a historic building is unknown as Auckland Council say it’s no longer in a financial position to fund it.
The Whare on the former Monte Cecilia Catholic School site in Hillsborough, next to the Pah Homestead, was spared from demolition in 2016 under the presumption it could be used as a community facility.
But six years on, Puketāpapa Local Board chairwoman Julie Fairey said it was now “stuck in limbo” as both the council and the Wallace Arts Trust, which owns Pah Homestead, can no longer fund its restoration.

Hey Pakeha - are you gonna let Seymour talk for you
Govt is elected to
1) provide goods and services that one person can not on their own. Eg Hospitals / Police. Govt is not to change our Agreement / History Treaty of Waitangi because some minor party of a coalition (wannabe control freak) says so.
2) Wrong Chris needs to do (at the first bill reading, not second) what the people want, not what Seymour wants!!!!!!!!!! Upsetting the apple cart Seymour v 52,000. Loser Seymour!!!!!!!!
