The health board worked with local rūnaka, tertiary institutions and other stakeholders to develop a plan that would enhance Dunedin’s city centre, SDHB chief executive Chris Fleming said.
Along with the city’s new $1.4 billion hospital, which will include the site of the former Cadbury factory, the plan, Te Whakaari – The Promise, includes green spaces, additional healthcare services, and retail areas.
The precinct will be between the current hospital site and Lower Stuart St, and will support the revitalisation of the central city.
“Te Whakaari focuses on wellbeing, equity, sustainability, adapting to the effects of climate change, and contributing to a sense of local identity,” Fleming said.
The plan would complement the council’s central city plan, and provide a link between the tertiary precinct to the north of the city and the cultural and entertainment quarter to the south.
The precinct design features three phases of development: short-term (until 2030), medium-term (until 2040) and long-term (until 2080).
That short-term plan includes the completion of the new Dunedin Hospital and a 500-space car parking facility that would be suitable for electric vehicles and cycles.
It will also have an interprofessional learning centre for student learning, and a “translational research centre”.
It is hoped developers will provide retail activity in the precinct during the short-term phase of development.
The medium-term plan would result in Southern Blood and Cancer Services moving south of the new Dunedin Hospital, while the long-term plan allows room for the development of future services.
Meanwhile, spaces between buildings are being set aside for a “green spine” to encourage pedestrian and social activity at the heart of the precinct.
The green spine forms part of a larger greenway loop, and works in tandem with planned upgrades to Dunedin’s retail quarter.
Te Whakaari would help inform future infrastructure decisions for Dunedin, as the health board transitions to Health New Zealand.

The Dunedin Midwinter Carnival is one of the city’s most popular events, but organisers have changed the location and introduced ticketing to make it sustainable.
The annual event, traditionally held around the longest night of the year in the city's Octagon, will now take place over two nights – July 8 and 9 – at First Church on Moray Place.
“It is a little different to what we have done before,” Midwinter Trust chairperson Paul Smith said.
The event, which features giant lantern installations and large projections, is now in its 25th year, but Covid restrictions coupled with a rugby test between the All Blacks and Ireland prompted a new plan.
“We ended up adjusting the event, so it could go ahead, and that meant being able to control entry if we needed to.”
Being able to control entry meant it was now a ticketed event, likely to be limited to about 5000 people per night, and costing $5 a ticket.
A decision on what the event would look like in 2023 was yet to be made, Smith said.
“It would depend on the success of this year.”
Covering costs was essential as “these sorts of projects aren’t cheap”.
The $5 ticket price was similar to the ‘koha’ requested as a donation in previous events, which returned less than $10,000 last year.
“It has always been a tricky thing for us. Not everyone understands we are a small non-profit, and it is not the city council putting on the event, and so many volunteer hours go into it.”
The trust also had to store “these beautiful artworks ... and that is another thing that weighs on our minds”.
“We are constantly trying to find ways to make this event more sustainable ... and that is one of our responsibilities as trustees.”
Organisers planned to promote the event to audiences throughout Otago and Southland. Funding from Enterprise Dunedin’s Regional Events Fund had been secured as part of an effort to increase visitors from outside the city.
