Important Information

As with many buildings in Wellington, the Hataitai Centre has been yellow-stickered because it’s earthquake-prone.

A yellow sticker doesn’t mean it’s dangerous to be in the building. People are allowed to live and work in yellow stickered buildings. It just means that the building has been given a deadline by which time it has to be strengthened, or else it will need to be demolished.
