The Warehouse Precinct Revitalisation Plan is part of the Dunedin Central City Plan.
Introduction
The historic area between Queens Gardens and Police Street (the Warehouse Precinct) was once the hub of Dunedin’s commercial and industrial growth, this area declined in the second half of the twentieth century. Recently, business and residential investment in the area has increased, which has started to revitalise the area. This Warehouse Precinct Revitalisation Plan seeks to support this revitalisation, to ensure this important historic area becomes a vibrant and successful part of the central city, once again.
Funding for amenity improvements in the Warehouse Precinct was included in the Council’s 2012/2013 Annual Plan and in the Long Term Plan 2015/2016 – 2024/2025. Funding was also included for continued investigation into the potential changes to Crawford and Cumberland Streets through the precinct, and for assistance to heritage building owners for re-use developments.
This Plan introduces a vision for the Warehouse Precinct and priorities for implementation. It also proposes a number of associated initiatives to support and encourage revitalisation in the Precinct.
This Plan is a fluid framework that will evolve and respond to change in the Warehouse Precinct as it occurs. This is the most appropriate approach to recognise the dynamic private investment and development occurring in the Precinct.

Ways you can get involved
Feedback
While the formal feedback period has closed, the development and implementation of the Warehouse Precinct Revitalisation Plan is an incremental process, and we welcome input into planning and ideas for partnerships and participation at any time. Please get in contact with us at email to: centralcityplan@dcc.govt.nz
Art and design
There is a desire to incorporate greater art and design components as part of the physical improvements in the Precinct, including visual elements and other media. Expressions of interest for specific projects (e.g. entrance treatments, lighting design, amenity furniture, installations) will be released in an on-going manner, as the Plan is implemented. To register your interest in receiving further information on these opportunities, please contact us at centralcityplan@dcc.govt.nz
Sponsorship and partnerships
We realise that people in the area may be keen to see projects happen more quickly than the DCC project budget allows. Many of the initiatives proposed offer opportunities for partnerships with individuals, businesses or organisations.
