Preservation Of Buildings
: Historic New Zealand I buildings should be listed, and the demolition or altera- ' tion of buildings on the list 1 should be prohibited by statute, the annual meeting of associate members of the • Canterbury regional committee of the Historic Places Trust agreed last evening. It was decided to make a recommendation along these lines to the regional committees’ conference. Speakers said that in New , Zealand there was no law to stop individuals or Government departments from altering. adding to or demolishing historic buildings. The statutes should be revised, and the powers of the Historic Places Trust should be increased. After the chairman of the tee (Mr G. M. Miller) had presented a report on the year’s work, an illustrated talk on historic places in the I Paparua county was given by Mr A. C. Loach.
