“Heritage New Zealand responds to Timeball Station insurance article” HNZ Media Release
The Press Reported:
"... In 2010, the HeritageNZ board reduced insurance cover on its properties to a maximum of two-thirds, (HNZ national business manager Julie) Rowan said. Later that year, the earthquakes began. ...
"The board considered that any loss greater than two-thirds would reduce the likelihood of a rebuild," she said.
"Where we are able to reduce the premiums we pay, cost savings can be used for areas such as pre-emptive strengthening and maintenance of the buildings we care for," Rowan said. "
