Please help us save such an iconic and historic church before it is lost forever.
Bay of Plenty
The Trust wishes to restore the Raukokore Church and preserve it for generations to come. Although it looks good from a distance please scroll down to the photos below.
The first steps are:
To research background of Church in further detail, particularly regarding Heritage status and Heritage NZ requirements, improvement (traffic movement/visitor car parking, fire alarm, sprinkler, water and electrical) implications;
To develop a Blue Penguin Management Plan as the penguins are ‘toanga’ of the Church
To complete building condition, safety and seismic assessments
To evaluate all findings and prepare a Feasibility Report that outlines project objectives/strategy, scope, specialist input needs, quality assurance controls, consultation and compliance requirements, community and funder benefits, funding partner investment proposition/s, targeted high-level project budget recommendation, and likely integrated program.
The Raukokore Church is in dire need of some major repairs.
Now 125 years old, this iconic and much loved Category 1 Historic Places Trust building needs desperate attention. Please help us save it.
