In Public Service Watch by Justin Wong he mentions the following points (abridged by me):
PCC is considering options for its meeting chamber..... to make it 'more accessible and welcoming' for the public.
.... chambers can feel unwelcoming and intimidating for visitors and guests....
Discussions to refurbish and relocate the chamber to the ground floor originally came up in 2017, but the council then decided against the move and opted for a $370,000 upgrade to install audio-visual and live-streaming equipment......
..... and create a space that was 'familiar and welcoming'..... officials also conceded there were downside.
The cost to do so today would be four to six times more than what was estimated on 2017.......

Sorry Justin but your article is too important to be allowed to just slip past.
Now the PCC is looking at all the options including just titivating the chambers for $26,000.
I would think that the people of Porirua Council catchment area would rather that the money was saved and put towards reducing their rates bill. The person whose job it is to push for this appalling use of ratepayer money, might be better employed elsewhere in the Council or perhaps encouraged into employment some place else with a Council who has money to waste.

A Korimako, our native Bellbird are often heard but rarely seen. To have one flitting around our place was so wonderful to see, and hear. The blue around the Korimako's bill and face is pollen from our native fuschia. Over the past few days the luck I've had in our garden has been amazing. Karori is one great place to see a range of native, and sometimes rare and beautiful wildlife."

Staff were excited to open the doors to the public again last week after three weeks which had the building full of contractors rather than swimmers.
Much of the maintenance work focused behind the scenes, in the pool plant and filtration areas. The public areas also received a refresh.
To celebrate Arena Aquatics’ reopening, we are inviting tamariki to enter a drawing competition, where they can draw themselves and their whānau enjoying a dip in the toddlers’ pool. There will be swim passes and other goodies up for grabs – keep an eye on the Council Facebook page for more details.
To find out more about what Arena Aquatics has to offer, entry fees and opening hours, visit us.
