Victoria Square reopens in Christchurch, acknowledging the site's varied past
A significant piece of Christchurch's history has reopened to the public with the completion of earthquake repairs in Victoria Square.
About 100 people attended Friday's blessing and brief ceremony to reopen the public park, on the corner of Colombo and Armagh streets, after a 13-month, $7.6-million rebuild managed by Crown rebuild company Ōtākaro. Another $5.1m of work is still being completed on the roads next to the square and is due to be finished in May.
