Auckland Town Hall
Auckland Town Hall is one of Queen Street’s most prominent historic buildings, is scheduled under the council’s district plan and listed by Heritage New Zealand. It operates as a multi-functional, world class venue and is a much loved heritage building.
In 2006, Salmond Reed Architects were appointed to prepare the specification and manage a repair and maintenance project during 2007. This included external redecoration, conservation of masonry and cast iron and the upgrading of bird-proofing.
The repair works involved specialist techniques and materials, including the repair of cast iron rainwater pipes, use of lime mortar for pointing and stone repair, and the design of a new innovative, humane bird-proofing system.
