Save Our Arts Centre (Christchurch) today announced that it is challenging the Arts Centre Trust Board's involvement in the controversial Music School proposal in the High Court. It is also legally challenging the Christchurch City Council on two specific matters, in the same proceeding.

"An inevitable postponement which we had already requested" today said Richard Sinke, Chair of the Save Our Arts Centre Inc.

The Christchurch City Council is being advised that it should delay this Thursday's (13 Aug 2009) decision to commence a Special Consultative Procedure for seeking community views on the Council's role for funding and developing a proposed University of Canterbury Music School on Arts Centre land
