3. Former Shirley Community Centre Building Items
“Preserving a City’s Heritage: Following the devastating February 2011 earthquakes in Ōtautahi Christchurch, the city needed to find a way to retain and store many heritage items from Council owned properties in the event they could be reused in future projects.
Each item, including bricks, stones and wooden framings, has been catalogued, tagged and included in the database so that it can be easily found and recovered for future use. The Citycare Property team has worked alongside a team of architects and historians to accurately document and record what has been stored where.”
