The Town Hall is the big WCC decision for tomorrow. Today councilors visited the site to see what had been done and get an understanding of where the extra funding is needed.

There’s a lot to love about the Wellington Town Hall.

Come with us behind the hoarding and explore the past, present and future of this historic building.

In anticipation of CubaDupa - we've been thinking about the history of Cuba Mall! ☀️🎉

Cuba Mall has origins in 1965, when Council closed parts of Cuba Street to remove the now unused tramlines - but the public enjoyed having a street where they could walk freely.

Happy 25th birthday to our GLAM-sector friends Te Papa Tongarewa 🎂 We sure have come a long way since NZ's first national museum opened on a little street behind Parliament in 1865! (Image from https://t.co/4t9yir29CM)
