Should we remove 231 Stuart Street (formerly the Fortune Theatre) from the list of strategic assets in the DCC Significance and Engagement policy?
Do you have any comments about 231 Stuart Street?
Should we charge an entry fee of $20 (incl. GST) for international visitors aged 16 and over, at Toitū and Dunedin Public Art Gallery?
Yes, introduce an entry fee of $20 (incl. GST) (this is our preferred option)
Do you have any comments about the entry fee for international visitors?
Is there anything else you would like to tell us?
Support the moana pool upgrades, municipal chambers remediation - but with haste, changing place bathroom, urban centres upgrade, pipe upgrades and renewals, mixed recycling facility, kettle park, destination playgrounds, roading upgrades, shared path completion(finally!!), Forsyth Barr.
Do not support: Increased roadside verge mowing - unnecessary!, Dunedin Railways - this is a disgusting waste of ratepayer money, unless you reconfigure company from a failed tourism business to a commuter rail service to Mosgiel and north coast using kiwi rail assets, Smooth Hill - we should be using existing rubbish dumps - with rail enabled transfers.
Advocate strongly that community housing, public toilets, Urban cycleways and Tunnels Trail, as well as the harbour basin bridge be put back into the plan, and fully funded, with funding shifted from Dunedin Railways.
Additional points: The attempt to explain away the Dunedin Railways cost is not transparent, this is a cost to the ratepayer, and should be reflected as such. The ratepayer should not have to pay for this failed tourism venture. Dunedin Railways should be re-purposed to provide commuter rail services to Mosgiel (for a start), and (
later ) the northern coast towns, on a cost recovery basis. The $18 Million of funds repurposed to fund the Tunnels Trail, including with a tar sealed surface - which would actually be a game changer for the city! 20min by road bike Mosgiel to the city: no brainer!
Local Water Done Well feedback
Which water services delivery model do you support?
The Council’s preferred option: an in-house delivery model
Why did you choose this option?
Do you have any other feedback related to the proposed water services delivery models?
Council should provide annual reporting on key performance measures to the public - with front page ODT purchased to display this . There should also be a council committee controlling this function - with full control / no need to take things to full council - with Mana Whenua full voting members appointed to the committee. This would bring Mana Whenua's long term/ intergenerational view into the picture to benefit us all. In addition, full waste and drinking water services should be provided to the entire peninsula and west harbour.
