PHOTOS: MATTHEW ROSENBERGWork on a new Southland council building has included clearing mould and fixing leaks, but the person in charge says it was expected. In October 2024, the Southland District Council purchased Henderson House on Invercargill’s Kelvin St with the goal of having its employees under one roof. Project director Jendi Paterson told Local Democracy Reporting the council had a target of late 2026 for moving into Henderson House — a three-storey office building which was built in the 1980s. The council "approved the acquisition" of the Kelvin St building in October 2024 and delegated the chief executive authority to purchase.
