Dunedin retail quarter redesign sparks business interest
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.
