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.

The Old Municipal Chambers on the corner of Worcester St and Oxford Tce, the Robert McDougall Art Gallery and the Sign of the Takahe were all being discussed behind closed doors at a Christchurch City Council meeting on Thursday.

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

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
