Canterbury Museum revamp gets go-ahead, but still needs $70 million
Hi neighbours,
Canterbury Museum’s ambitious $195 million revamp has won resource consent, but still needs $70m in funding to become a reality.
The plans were granted consent by the Christchurch City Council on Monday.
Museum board chairman David Ayers said the consent means they can continue with design work for the museum’s redevelopment.
The plan includes demolishing large parts of the museum that were built between the 1950s and the 1990s.
The 19th century heritage buildings will be retained and restored, along with part of the 1970s wing overlooking the Botanic Gardens and part of the 1950s building on Rolleston Ave.
