Further concern about the state of Wellington City Council's books as it agrees to a new budget for the Town Hall.
The council agreed to approve up to $147-million towards the redevelopment, an expense which could bring the total up to $329-million.

Wellington Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Simon Arcus worries this could impact rates or other projects.
He says they've raised concerns about debt for a long time.
