Should Naenae Pool be rebuilt?
Rebuilding Lower Hutt’s earthquake-prone Naenae pool is expected to cost $14 million more than budgeted, new projections show.
The pool was closed by Hutt City Council in April 2019 after engineers assessed it was a significant earthquake risk.
At the time, the council estimated the construction of a new pool would cost about $40m. Then, in 2020, that figure was increased to $54m. The latest estimate is $68m.
