Wellington council appeals against Adelaide Hotel strengthening decision

The owner of the building Lakhi Maa​ Ltd opposed the council’s application.
Despite repeated notices requiring earthquake strengthening since 2006, the only work done was to strengthen unreinforced masonry in the facade, the district court said.
Lakhi Maa Ltd acquired the building in late 2015. It had wanted to redevelop the site as a hotel, but after the council’s strengthening application was filed the company asked for resource consent to demolish the building.
In a decision in December the District Court judge, Chris Tuohy​, said the fundamental issue against the council was whether it should be given permission to strengthen the building without specific plans for the work.
