No cathedral needed

Re: ‘Come on Tauranga - Grow up already !' (The Weekend Sun, October 17).

Visitors to Tauranga do not want the ‘excitement' of a new cathedral.

There are plenty of old ones overseas. Museums are in nearly every city in New Zealand crammed with artefacts - once you have seen one, you have seen the lot.

What Tauranga needs is something really exciting, similar to a miniature Sydney Opera House overlapping the harbour, with a decent-sized theatre, restaurants and a casino to bring in lots of money.

The cruise ships can send their small boats from Mount Maunganui under the bridge and people from outside Tauranga can go broke trying to beat the pokies.

M Thornton, Tauranga City.
