What do you think about delaying the library upgrade?
Wellington’s mayor says he is against a proposal to consider delaying the upgrade of the city’s earthquake-prone central library, urging the council to “get on with it”.
The consideration comes as the city council attempts to work out how it can pay for mounting infrastructure repairs across the city over the next 10 years, a problem that has already led to a proposed rates hike of up to 17 per cent.
Wellington City Council staff have suggested delaying the $179 million upgrade of the quake-prone library by up to three years to help keep the council within its budget, but mayor Andy Foster said that could not be allowed to happen.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
