What would you do with an air traffic control tower?
Known to Airways New Zealand staff as “The Grand Old Lady of Wellington”, and to its neighbours as “Arnold”, Wellington's historic traffic control tower is for sale.
Not surprisingly, Tommy’s Real Estate agents Billy Bell and Jess Platt describe it as the most unique property they have listed.
“We’ve had unusual looking houses, but never anything quite like this so it’s exciting to be involved.”
Be warned, however, it needs earthquake strengthening and only has one loo.
It is believed to be the only control tower in the world with a residential address and its own letterbox.
Wouldn't it make a great house?
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
