Dunedin retail quarter redesign sparks business interest

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Dunedin News

A multimillion-dollar project to rejuvenate one of New Zealand’s oldest retail quarters is sparking businesses interest, even before design plans are revealed.

Dunedin City Council’s ‘’Totally Georgeous’’ project lead, Glen Hazelton​, described the plan as a distinctly Dunedin design with a mana whenua framework.

In 2021, the contentious decision to turn George St one-way allowed for one half of the road to be turned into productive space, while retaining the same number of car parks.

The design of that space was revealed on Wednesday. At a budget of $28.2 million, the three blocks in the retail quarter will have their own theme.

See some artist's impressions below (plus a photo of current George St) and read more about the new plan www.stuff.co.nz....

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
