O’Sullivan says Quail Island in Lyttelton Harbour was used to quarantine people with leprosy more than a century ago, and is perfectly located to be an MIQ facility.
The architect, who has an office overlooking the harbour, has suggested a prefabricated pod design could provide suitable accommodation on the island. The pods would be environmentally and aesthetically responsive to the landscape.
The government has previously resisted suggestions that we should develop purpose-built MIQ facilities, including isolating people on military bases or other remote locations, in favour of using hotels.

People wanting a Covid-19 test in Christchurch face a wait for up to five hours at one of the city’s two testing centres as Kiwis around the country rush to check they are safe in the wake of the latest outbreak.
A queue of hundreds of cars stretched for about a kilometre out of the Pages Rd centre in east Christchurch at one point on Thursday morning, the queue snaking down nearby suburban streets.
There were similar scenes at the city’s other testing centre at Orchard Rd near the airport, where scores of cars queued for about hundreds of metres in a carefully managed line, as they did on Wednesday.

New Zealand’s vaccination roll-out was temporarily halted after the delta strain of the virus was detected in Auckland early this week , and the country entered an alert level 4 lockdown. It has since resumed.
On Sunday, the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) opened a drive-through vaccination clinic in the Christchurch Arena car park.
About 120 essential workers were invited to get their jabs at the centre on Sunday.
CDHB Covid-19 vaccination events lead Satish Mistry said all drive-through vaccinations were strictly by appointment only, so the team could focus on getting essential workers vaccinated.
