Should we remove 231 Stuart Street (formerly the Fortune Theatre) from the list of strategic assets in the DCC Significance and Engagement policy?
No, keep 231 Stuart Street as a strategic asset
Do you have any comments about 231 Stuart Street?
I support retaining 231 Stuart Street as a strategic asset under the Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. It has heritage and civic value, and the community should have a say in its future. I believe the community would greatly benefit from a full review of all DCC-owned assets. Ratepayers deserve to know what is owned, what condition those assets are in and how they align with the city’s long-term goals. A strategic plan for asset retention, repurposing or release should be developed with public input and used to guide future decisions.
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?
I support a $20 entry fee for international visitors. It is common practice overseas and creates a practical way to generate revenue without burdening locals.
Is there anything else you would like to tell us?
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?
Council control of water services is important. In terms of how this is addressed going forward, what matters the most is transparency, accountability and ensuring the best outcomes for Dunedin residents. Before any decisions are made, there must be a thorough review of all options, including costs, service quality and long-term sustainability. Most importantly, any change must come with a clear mandate from the community and active discussions with mana whenua. Ratepayers deserve to understand the implications and have a real say in how such a critical service is managed.
Do you have any other feedback related to the proposed water services delivery models?
