Peninsula heritage buildings<br />
The Little River Coronation<br />
Library building has an estimated<br />
minimum restoration cost<br />
of $750,000 – however, this<br />
figure is based on preliminary<br />
investigations rather than<br />
engineering costs, according to a<br />
city council report.<br />
The library was built to mark<br />
the coronation of King George<br />
V. It was opened in 19<strong>13</strong>, and it<br />
remained in use as a library until<br />
2000.<br />
The former Kukupa School<br />
building in Pigeon Bay – which<br />
is a listed Heritage New Zealand<br />
building – operated from 1878<br />
until 1949. In 1951 it opened as<br />
the Youth Hostel Association’s<br />
first stand-alone hostel in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Akaroa’s Yew Cottage is another<br />
well-known landmark in need<br />
of restoration. Built of locally<br />
milled timber in 1877, it provides<br />
a record of the lifestyle of early<br />
colonial settlers.<br />
Both properties are estimated<br />
to cost around $250,000 each to<br />
restore.<br />
The city council said it welcomed<br />
all “workable” proposals, including<br />
those from commercial businesses,<br />
community groups or charitable<br />
trusts.<br />

the Youth Hostel Association<br />
opened its first ever standalone<br />
