Lotto win for Hundertwasser project
A $3.5 million project grant from the Lotteries Commission means Whangarei’s Hundertwasser Art Centre with Wairau Maori Art Gallery can now go ahead.
The project team had to raise $16.25 million by June 30 to get the sign off from the Whangarei District Council, and the total now stands at $18.6 million.
It estimates $21 million will be needed because of increased cost of materials and the need to build to a higher structural standard because of what has been learned from the Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes.
