Derelict and dangerous buildings days from demolition
The birds nestling inside the crumbled walls and collapsed roof will need to find a new home with demolition set to start on a row of derelict buildings in Dunedin.
Work to demolish the row of inner city buildings is set to begin on Sunday, after the Dunedin City Council gave the Christchurch-based developers consent back in May.
Jon Leng, of the redeveloped Empire Apartments, said he had considered the neighbouring buildings dangerous for ‘’years’’, and he was delighted that they would finally be demolished.
The buildings at 380, 382 and 386 Princes Str and 11 Stafford St would be demolished, while the developer would retain the building and the protected facade at 372-378 Princes St.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
