Full steam ahead with plans to re-build Christchurch's Catholic Cathedral on the same site as before.
Following a survey, the Catholic Diocese has selected their 160-year-old Barbados Street site as the cathedral's future location.
The former cathedral stood there before being demolished following earthquake damage.
Mayor Phil Mauger told Mike Hosking the city may see a Catholic Cathedral before an Anglican one.
“The Anglican Cathedral is practically building a new church within an old one. This will be built from new, but it will be a lot cheaper and may be able to get it finished a bit quicker.”
