A photograph of a sign in the window of the Diabetes Centre on Hagley Avenue. The sign reads, "The Diabetes Centre is open. There are currently some earthquake repairs going on inside the building; however the building is safe to enter. Unfortunately the lift is out of action. Here are some pictures of what the building looks like inside: the lift is out of action until further notice; the gib board in the stairwell is being replaced; some ceiling panels are being replaced; our friendly administration staff are happy to assist where possible".

A sewage pumping station on Avonside Drive has been lifted out of the ground by liquefaction. In the background, the damaged Snell Place footbridge over the Avon River is closed off with cordon fencing. The photographer comments, "A Sunday afternoon ride to New Brighton, then back via Aranui, Wainoni, Dallington, and Richmond. Not a cheerful experience. Dallington footbridge. The two pieces of this foot bridge have moved towards each other, so the bridge has developed quite a peak. The sewage pumping station has been heaved out of the ground by hydraulic pressure during quakes".
