Palms Shopping Centre - reopening as soon as possible
Media Statement Thursday 23 June 2011
THE PALMS SHOPPING CENTRE
Following detailed structural inspections of The Palms Shopping Centre, our consultant engineers have confirmed that the building performed well during the 13 June earthquake and subsequent aftershocks.
Further damage was sustained in a few areas, which will be repaired. The north entrance (near Countdown), which was due to open at the end of June requires attention. The recently-fixed guttering will undergo a new round of repairs to ensure the building is watertight. The travelators and newly-replaced tiling also require some repairs.
The Palms Shopping Centre manager Keryn Ward says, “We would like to reassure the public that while we have been dealt further delays and there is some work to be done, we will be reopening as soon as possible.
“We hope to have an update on our rescheduled opening dates in the near future, once we have a clearer picture of the time required to remedy the further damage.”
