Description
The new pier was built in exactly the same location, as the old wooden pier, it was officially opened on 1 November 1997. It spans 300 metres which makes it the longest pier in the Australasia. The pier is one of Christchurch's tourist attractions. Currently the New Brighton Pier is the venue of a number of events, such as regular skate on the Pier events and the annual Guy Fawkes fireworks display held on 5 November every year. The pier sustained some damage in the various earthquakes, and this was exacerbated in the 2016 Christchurch earthquake.
