Kāpiti Council closes another leaky building
Another leaky building owned by the Kāpiti Coast District Council has been closed.
The Te Newhanga Community Centre was revealed to be affected by leaks, water damaged infrastructure, and toxic mould in 2019, months after another council-owned building, the Waikanae Public Library, was shut for the same reason.
Despite a call from a then-councillor to close the building for health reasons, the community centre remained open to the public. Nearly two years later the council has announced it will be shut until it can be rebuilt or replaced, after testing showed the amount of dangerous mould and moisture damage had increased.
The council said it was committed to rebuilding or replacing the building, proposing setting aside $5 million either this year or 2022.
