Ministry management and our builders have had daily site access since earlier this month, even although we are still within the cordoned “red zone”
The damaged first floor has now been stabilised and by the end of September should have been completely removed, and a new roof put back in its place. The photo below shows the scale of the job
In the months that have passed since February’s quake the damage to the main zone of the club in the ground floor has been remarkably light, and due only to water
Work on rebuilding and strengthening the ground floor to meet quake resistance standards which have now more than doubled should be getting underway by November. The main hold-up before that work can start is the wait for geotech reports on ground conditions
Initial architects concept plans for the club including a temporary courtyard and bar area using shipping containers have been completed. This will occupy the northern 40% of the site where “Cruz” used to stand. That portion of the site has been fully demolished now, but was a completely separate building from Ministry
As soon as some more fine-tuning of these drawings has been completed we will post them here
Things are starting to get exciting!
STILL JUST AS WE LEFT IT
GOING
GOING
GOING
GONE !!!!!
