The New Brighton Clock Tower is a heritage clock tower from the 1930s, standing in front of the New Brighton Library at 213 Marine Parade, Christchurch. The Christchurch City Council reports that its restoration is complete and that the clock is telling the time again. The tower had been damaged by the Canterbury earthquakes and by decades of seaside exposure, and the restoration upgraded its structure. Work included replacing two cracked internal concrete floors, adding steel reinforcing and treating the concrete against corrosion. The clock mechanism was repaired and reinstalled with its hands, and the tower was repainted in its original 1930s colour scheme. Local contractor Cook Brothers Construction carried out the work.
The council warns that the clock mechanism is complex and that there may be minor timekeeping issues at first, which it will monitor and fine-tune if needed. Visitors see the tower on the Marine Parade side of the library, where it is one of the town's landmarks.
