Wellington City councillors have voted for the Town Hall redevelopment to be completed despite a huge budget blowout.
Councillors considered four options on the building's future, with 13 councillors voting yes and three voting no.
To continue will cost somewhere between $252 million and $329 million, while closing down or demolishing would cost up to $243 million.
Councillors Nikau Wi Neera and Ben McNulty spoke to Corin Dann.
