WELLINGTON — Wellington City Council is getting a $38 million payout for its earthquake- damaged Civic Administration Building (CAB) after a four-year wrangle with insurers. The six-storey salmon-coloured building in Te Ngakau Civic Square has been closed since the Kaikoura earthquake struck in 2016. The building suffered structural damage in the 7.8-magnitude earthquake, which was sufficient for it to be evacuated because of health and safety concerns for anyone entering. Mayor Andy Foster said he was delighted to reach an agreement on the building and acknowledged the process had taken several years. “New Zealand has suffered terribly from earthquakes in the last 10 years, and as a result of that I think we are all well aware that resolving insurance claims can take a very long time.” More extensive investigations were carried out on the building earlier this year to assess the extent of the damage and appropriate repair options. But the process was hampered by the discovery of new cracks in the floors, meaning additional propping had to be installed to ensure the safety of those working inside the building. Mr Foster said this agreement, along with the CIVIC CENTRE: The six-storey, salmon-coloured Civic Administration Building in Wellington’s Civic Square has been recent decision to strengthen the central library, closed since the Kaikoura earthquake in 2016.
