Geocache Description:



Christchurch Town Hall of the Performing Arts in South Island, New Zealand opened in 1972 providing a 2500 seat auditorium, 1000 seat theatre, four conference rooms and a restaurant.

The 6.3 magnitude Christchurch earthquake of 22 February 2011 caused considerable damage to the Town Hall. Much of the ground beneath the building liquefied, resulting in differential settlements occurring across the site of between 300 to 600 mm. The upstairs function room, known as the Limes Room, and restaurant also slid towards the River Avon by around 150 mm and lifted 300 mm at one end.

In August 2013 the Christchurch City Council voted to restore the Town Hall, and the iconic grade 1 listed heritage building reopened in February 2019 following extensive repair and restoration; thus ensuring that this modern, world-class facility can be enjoyed for many years to come.

Your Tasks!

1. Go to the posted co ordinates and face the Town Hall. To the left of the doors is a concrete column with a plaque attached. Email/message me the date on the plaque.

2. Take a photo of yourself or your device outside the Town Hall. It doesn't have to be just the front doors, the picture can be anywhere as long as the building is in the background. The view of the Ferrier fountain from Victoria Square at the back of the building is more scenic!

3. Log your visit! You don't have to wait for my reply, but if I don't get a message within one month or see a photo on your log it will be deleted.
