Fate of Christchurch's fire-ravaged Antonio Hall in the hands of engineers
Structural reports will decide the fate of Christchurch's derelict Antonio Hall after it was ravaged by fire.
Property manager Sam Yau said he would meet with the Christchurch City Council, structural engineers and builders next week to discuss the next steps for the heritage-listed mansion.
More than 50 firefighters spent hours trying to save the Riccarton Rd building on Friday after a "significant" fire erupted about 5.20pm.
Police have arrested and charged a youth, who will appear in court this week.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
