Statement from Mayor Ray Wallace Re: Avalon Studios

Statement from Mayor Ray Wallace Re: Avalon Studios

“It is disappointing to hear that TVNZ has decided to move their operations from Avalon Studios but I understand the economic reality of their decision. My thoughts are obviously with those who have been told today they could lose their jobs.

“Avalon Studios remains a top-quality facility. When TVNZ move on, there may be opportunity for us to attract local and international film crews to the site which will be great for our city.

“New Zealand is already becoming a popular destination for filming and it would be fantastic if Lower Hutt could be part of this action. As a Council we will do all we can to support what could be an exciting development for our city.”
