Poll: Should Wellington's Central Library be given heritage status?
Wellington’s earthquake stricken central library could receive a category 1 heritage listing, despite being less than 30 years old.
Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga is calling for the public submissions on the library’s heritage status, while Wellington City Council simultaneously considers the future of the building after it closed in March 2019 due to seismic concerns. Opened in 1991, the library, designed by Athfield Architects, was the centrepiece of Te Ngākau Civic Square.
Heritage New Zealand’s central region director Jamie Jacobs said heritage listing does not mean the building would be protected, and that decision would remain with the city council.
