The Kaiapoi Courthouse (latterly the Kaiapoi Museum) was deemed structurally unsound after the September 4 earthquake and was demolished over several days from 10 September 2010.
The Rialto Theatre was damaged in the September 2010 earthquake. It was hoped that it could be repaired but further damage sustained in the February and June 2011 earthquakes made that impossible. It was finally demolished on 14 November 2011.
