Fate of historic building in limbo due to council funding woes

Melanie Earley Reporter from Central Leader

Kia ora neighbours, the fate of a historic building is unknown as Auckland Council say it’s no longer in a financial position to fund it.

The Whare on the former Monte Cecilia Catholic School site in Hillsborough, next to the Pah Homestead, was spared from demolition in 2016 under the presumption it could be used as a community facility.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
