New six-in-one development proposal for Soldiers' Block in Hanmer Springs

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

A $7.3 million project is the latest on the table for the Soldiers' Block in Hanmer Springs.

The future of the Soldiers' Block, in the Queen Mary Hospital Historic Reserve, has been debated since the hospital closed in 2003 and ownership was transferred to the Hurunui District Council in 2008.

The six-in-one development proposal includes a commercial and creative shared hub, community space for hire, war experience and café, function space with commercial kitchen, movie theatre, and temporary workers accommodation and manager's flat.
