New footage has been released showing a virtual tour of what the completed Christ Church Cathedral and visitors’ centre is set to look like.
The animated fly-through shows the reinstated cathedral and ancillary buildings, which will make up the Cathedral Quarter once finished.
The $154 million restoration project to comprehensively rebuild the earthquake-damaged city icon is well under way.
Stage one of the project began in May 2020, installing large steel frames on all sides of the building to make it safe.
That stabilisation phase is due to be completed by February next year, which will allow restoration of the 150-year-old building to begin.
