Details
DescriptionPrinted in the 'leader' on July 17, 1984. The city's landscape architect was Conrad Pharazyn.
The city council had been unhappy with a Ministry of Works design. This proposal added a pillared portico to the courthouse, and the trees would reduce the apparent size of Astral Towers and provide a more attractive meeting space.
The view is from the corner of Astral Towers, with the Main Street footpath at right.
The June 28, 2017 'Leader' said the city council was considering buying the site of the courthouse, which had been closed as an earthquake risk, and clearing it as a green space.
