FURTHER DELAY
Downtown Project
"The Press" Special Service AUCKLAND, February 28. The Cabinet has ordered a further 12-month delay to the start of the Auckland Harbour Board downtown development scheme. It has decided that the first building permit should be issued on June 1, 1968.
Last year the Cabinet decided to hold up work on the multi-million pound scheme until July, 1967. The Minister of Works (Mr Allen) said the Cabinet approval covered the first four buildings in the development —a motor hotel, car park, an 18-storey office building and an airline centre. The cost of the four buildings was about £6 million but expenditure would be limited to the board’s own estimate of likely spending between £l.B million and £2 million a year.
