Rumour is that the High Court need a major overhaul to address significant structural and related issues that may be largely attributed to poor early planning.
For example the very large glass front of the building is not supported sufficiently by the moving foundations, particularly also owing to limestone caves directly below. Stress in the building has also contributed to the development of severe leaks in the roof of the building.
The High Court building is a national icon asset for Canberra and the nation, but its future could be very costly. This is a very sad result.
Lets hope globe trotting by planners and politicians does not overlook fixing the this building and other important public projects.
