Damage to the Visitors Centre in Kaiapoi, after the September 4th earthquake. The foundations have lifted at the back of the building, giving it a forward lean. Cables have been attached to the balcony over the walkway and braced to posts cemented into the ground. This is to stop the building from slumping further.
