9 year plan feedback
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?
In order of priority and timing we advocate for the following short-term / urgent actions: Immediate financial support to be granted for operations of Te Whare o Rukutia. This will require the DCC to reverse its decision to end funding for Te Whare o Rukutia.
The annual Professional Theatre Fund continues, at least at its current level, preferably more.
Financial investment is required for Playhouse Theatre infrastructure. The Playhouse has stated they expect to close in 24 months without this support.
For the 9 year plan we recommend The DCC commits to create and adopt an Ōtepoti Theatre Action Plan - as they have done for our colleagues in the music scene.
Ideally this action plan would include the following mid-term actions on infrastructure development, as recommended by the Performing Arts group (Stage South, the Playhouse, the Athenaeum, the Regent) Statement of Intent.
Support for the Playhouse renovations and refurbishment.
Support for the public/private partnership of Athenaeum development to improve the 90 seat fringe theatre and create a significant new music venue.
Support for a new build, community performing arts centre. This will require DCC land or partnerships with landowners to secure a suitable site.
If a memorandum of understanding for a new build is not secured within 18 months, or in the event that DCC will not support a new build, consideration of the support for new infrastructure for the Regent Theatre.
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?
