I was asked what year the Sugarloaf TV transmitter site in Christchurch was built. I have been unable to find any details via Google etc. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Murray

In 1966 the then New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (now Television New Zealand) leased a 4.9ha section of the reserve from the Crown on the summit of Sugarloaf Hill and installed a transmission tower and control building.
