Biography
The Christchurch Town Hall complex, situated on Kilmore Street, overlooking the Avon River and Victoria Square, consists of three major elements arranged together as one building. The complex was designed in 1965 by the architectural firm, Warren and Mahoney, in response to a competition for a purpose built town hall. Initially, the hall complex was a joint project by the six former metropolitan territorial local authorities; the former Christchurch City Council, Paparua and Heathcote County Councils, Riccarton and Lyttelton Borough Councils, and Waimairi District Council. Today, it is now the responsibility of the Christchurch City Council.
ChristchurchNZ and Venues Ōtautahi (formerly VBase) manage the Town Hall on behalf of the Council.
