flag Christ Church Cathedral in Newcastle is undergoing an 18-month, multi-million dollar restoration after flood damage, with work divided into three phases: repairing 28 copper roofs and drainage systems, conducting external masonry and window repairs, and completing internal upgrades including carpet replacement and timber restoration. flag The project, funded by insurance, the state government, the diocese, and the cathedral, aims to restore the state heritage-listed landmark’s watertight integrity and preserve its role as a spiritual, cultural, and civic icon. flag Managed by Duratec and EGE Architects, the effort follows a rigorous approval process, with Assistant Bishop Charlie Murry overseeing the project to ensure the cathedral remains open for events. flag This marks the first major restoration since 1997, following damage from a 1989 earthquake.
