An article has been published on the website of stuff.co.nz outlining the possible future of Waiapu Cathedral in Napier due to the earthquake risks and scale of cost to remedy the issues.
Key Facts from the Article are:
Napier’s earthquake-prone cathedral needs $15 million worth of strengthening work.
The church says it can’t afford that cost so is looking to split the building and sell the larger part to a developer who could turn it into four-storey office space while retaining the shell.
A suggestion to Napier City Council that the cathedral be converted into the city library fell flat.
