The Wellington Town Hall restoration, overseen by the Wellington City Council, was completed in November 2017. The project involved complex earthquake-strengthening, including retrofitting base isolators and re-piling the 120-year-old structure. The Town Hall is now ready, though it remains closed for four more months.
