Secrecy over future use of three Christchurch heritage buildings

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The future use of three significant Christchurch heritage buildings remains secret as the city council considers its options.

Little information has been publicly released about the possible future uses of the buildings as the council sites commercial sensitivity.
