Eight years after Napier's entire civic centre was assessed as an earthquake work, and staff required to move out, construction has just begun on a $110 million redevelopment.

Deputy Mayor Annette Brosnan and Napier City Council Strategic programmes manager Darran Gillies join Kathryn to describe what's being built and the boost it's giving the local construction sector, including work for 300 local tradespeople.
