Well I'm pretty chuffed.

I've been working since 2022 to gain City Council support for a permanent home for the Christchurch School of Music | Te Kura Puoro.

On Tuesday the councillors voted to support a grant of $4M. It's a tad under a third of what we need, but it's an almighty step forward.

The RNZ headline is a tad premature , but anyway YAY!!
