In March 2016 we began the task of establishing a close working relationship with all stakeholders, including the client, Auckland Council, heritage advisors and others to manage the seismic upgrade and restoration of this historic building.

Stage one involved structural upgrades (including earthquake strengthening), this was completed to a safe status before the project was Unfortunately put on hold in 2017. This was due to the adjacent apartment development being put on hold which is needed to provide support services for the theatre’s restoration.

There is hope that one day Latham Construction will be called back to complete what we started.
