Wellington City Council ended negotiations to reopen Reading Cinemas on Courtenay Place.

Wellington City Council has ended negotiations to reopen the closed Reading Cinemas on Courtenay Place. The council had considered buying the land for $32m to allow Reading to redevelop the building, with Reading's annual rent covering the council's costs. However, senior council staff were unable to reach the best outcomes for Wellingtonians. Mayor Tory Whanau called the outcome "disappointing, but the right one."
