Behind the scenes of Wellington Town Hall's redevelopment

The Wellington Town Hall redevelopment made great strides in 2022 with the removal of the crane, a prominent feature of the city’s skyline since 2020… This crane was being used to move construction equipment, install scaffolding and structural steelwork, and remove the project’s construction waste.  

Naylor Love removed the crane back in December 2022, which took a total of three days. To get the original crane out, a second, 400-tonne mobile crane was specially assembled by Smith Crane and Construction.  

The removal’s accomplishment marks the end of the ‘heavy lifting’ for this stage of the project, allowing for the next phase of the Town Hall refresh — the construction of the auditorium basement. This process includes sheet piling, excavating the ground under the auditorium, then forming the new walls and floors. This will be mostly completed by the end of 2023.
