• CCNZ buildings are less critical of major maintenance than NZ Temple and Foster Rd Meetinghouse
• There is no record of over the past 150 yrs of European history of a major earthquake occurring in Hamilton that would cause significant damage to the buildings
• The probable extent of liquefaction and associated foundation settlement during earthquake is unlikely to be the primary cause of significant distress to the buildings
