Council wants building
The Canterbury Promotion Council wants to take over the rest of the old Chamber of Commerce building it now occupies. The Promotion Council occupies only the first floor of the building, at the comer of Worcester Street and Oxford Terrace, which for many years was occupied by the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce. Earlier this
century it was occupied by the Christchurch City Council. The Promotion Council has put together a proposal which it will present to the Christchurch City Council, the owner of the building, within the next fortnight. "Our proposal would be an exciting way of using the 101-year-old building,” said the council’s chief executive, Mr Bruce
Dunstan. “We are looking at doubling the size of the information centre, and using the total building in a complementary way,” he said. “It would be open seven days a week, and the information centre would be complemented by an appropriate form of retailing and displays, ail with very much a local flavour.”
