21 November 2018

Report on the outcome of Public Consultation
Sims Building, Port Chalmers

Department: Property

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 This report is to present the outcome of the consultation for the future use of the Building at 2 Beach Street, Port Chalmers, known as ‘The Sims Building’.

2 Thirteen formal pieces of feedback were received via the website or in letter format, with 75 informal feedback comments collected during engagement events.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Board:

a) Notes that further analysis and feasibility studies will be done, prior to a further report to the Community Board in 2019.

BACKGROUND

Sims Building History

3 The original Building was built in 1880 and purchased in 1890 by Isaac Stevenson who, with a later partner, John Cook, ran the Stevenson and Cook Engineering Company. The business played a large part in Port Chalmers’ creation and development.

4 The Company originally made simple appliances before Isaac Stevenson began major development. It became the most up-to-date plant engaged in ship building and repairing in the New Zealand Dominion. As well as undertaking some of the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest ship-repair jobs, the Company manufactured gold dredges for the Otago gold fields and constructed and fitted out ships for the two World Wars.

5 Isaac Stevenson was a supporter and liberal benefactor to various sports clubs. In 1906, he was elected Mayor of Port Chalmers. In the 1930’s an extension was built onto the Sims Building by the Stevenson and Cook Engineering Company.

Recent history

6 The Council took ownership of the Sims Building from the Port Chalmers Borough Council as part of the 1989 Local Government Re-organisation.

7 It was leased by the Port Chalmers Yacht Club until the building could no longer be occupied due to asbestos contamination.

8 In March 2017 the asbestos roof and cladding were removed from the Sims Building and it’s 1930’s extension.

9 Despite being an early example of Dunedin’s industrial maritime history the Sims Building is not listed as a Heritage building by Heritage NZ.

The Sims Building Property and Condition

10 A land report advises that the rear bank, on which the Building is situated, is unstable with potential for slips or rock and tree fall hazards.

11 There is asbestos in the soil behind the Building.

12 The Building has no roof.

13 There is no water or electricity supply to the building.

14 The Building cannot be occupied in its present state and there are annual costs of approximately $3,000 to monitor it.

15 A building report states that there is minor damage to multiple areas of brick and the chimney requires removal.

16 A significant amount of structural and seismic retrofit work would be required to bring the Building up to code of compliance standard.

DISCUSSION

17 A series of Public consultation events were held throughout August 2018 to receive feeback on any proposed future uses for the Building. The process included an article about the Sims Building engagement in the Rothesay News, Community Newspaper. This is posted to every household from Roseneath to Aramoana. The article informed the community about the engagement dates and feedback process.

18 Subsequently, a DCC webpage went live with information, building reports and feedback tools available on the site. This coincided with a general media release and an article in the Otago Daily Times - https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/dcc/public-input-sought-save-sims-engineering-building and video on the ODT website.

19 Displays were put up in the Port Chalmers Public Library with flyers and access to the webpage to give feedback. Librarians were happy to help community members to fill in the forms online. A poster and flyers were also put up on the West Harbour Community Board pin board at the entrance of the library and Rolfe room facilities.

20 A DCC Engagement Coordinator handed out flyers and collected feedback in Port Chalmers shops and at the Police Station, and held events at Port Chalmers Four Square, Port Chalmers Public Library, and at the Port Chalmers Community Market.

21 Full details of all feedback received is contained in attachments C & D.

22 Of the 88 pieces of feedback (13 formal, 75 informal):

a) 18 suggested removing the building / turning the site into a carpark / had no use for the site (including formal submissions)

b) 10 suggested an indoor sports facility

c) 9 suggested indoor markets (including formal submissions)

d) 7 suggested selling the building

e) 7 suggested various recreational uses (including formal submissions)

f) 5 suggested youth activities

g) 4 suggested a yacht or boating use

h) 4 suggested a community art gallery/museum (including formal submissions)

i) There were multiple other suggestions

NEXT STEPS

23 Further analysis of the feedback will be undertaken by Council staff.

24 A more in-depth report on the future use of the Sims Building will be presented to the Community Board in 2019.

West Harbour Community Board

21 November 2018

Name	Organisation	Would you be willing to present your suggestions to the West Harbour Community Board, if invited?	Suggestions for possible uses of the building and/or site
Lucy Gray	private individual	Yes	Protection from further damage due to historical significance to West Harbour Community made safe from falling debris and other danger: a garden or green space with historical information - similar to Lady Thorn Dell a display space for outdoor art and sculpture playground for children, swing slide and flying fox exercise area similar to that on the Harbour cycle/ walk way in Ravensbourne location for community market and stalls (more m2 than current location of market) Upgrade to working space with roof, electricity and water community space for working on cars, bikes, boats, artists, sculptors, musicians extension to Museum recreation of historical setting relating to shipping industry a community exchange centre (variation on a recycle centre ) where unwanted goods can be traded/bartered for other goods good location for community market or other collective projects and groups
Les Box		Yes	Apart from the historical significance of the building in relation to the Maritime history of the Port I believe this building has great potential in being made into a venue for a market place for visiting cruise ships. In numerous cruise ship ports of call around the world local markets play a big part in the “must do’s” for cruise ship passengers and crew. Not only would passengers benefit but also local groups and individuals operating the stalls. With the projected increase in the number of cruise ships over the next few years, its vitally important that we provide for as many opportunities for our visiting ship passengers to help ensure that Port Chalmers remains a “must visit” destination on cruise ship itineraries. The building could redeveloped to have stall spaces on the ground floor perhaps using shipping containers to line the walls, redesigned to have open sides. A mezzanine floor could be built overlooking the market area where a café/bar could be set up offering a range of NZ craft beers, perhaps an opportunity to promote NZ food lines eg cheeses, wild games etc. There could perhaps also be a small stage area for local groups to entertain tourists. An internet centre for passengers would be a draw card. The roof in this area could be designed to allow for a view over the container port with the cruise ship as a back drop. One only has to look at the Old Tannery Building at Linwood in Christchurch to see what can be done with a bit of imagination. The building would also make for an opportunity to set up a bike rental depot for the cruise ship passengers and crew, especially with the pending completion of the cycleway. In the off season as we know it at present, the venue could be used for various shows such as flower shows, vehicle displays, dog shows, art exhibitions, fashion shows etc and could also be leased out for the storage of small sea craft over the winter. The potential is endless. While there is no DCC funding available at this stage, they have risen to the occasion over the years for other opportunities that have come up around the city, so perhaps this could be Port Chalmers turn? The DCC is very supportive of the water front redevelopment in Dunedin so what about some water front redevelopment for Port Chalmers as we are the main cruise ship terminal for the City. Before any rushed decisions are made, please think of the future potential and the bigger picture.
Bill Brown		Yes	This building as a number of possibilities: an attraction for cruise ships and Dunedin tourism such as a working Black Smiths shop including digital visual history of Stevenson & Cook LTD and Sim's Engineering and the maritime fete's they accomplished. At the same time use an area for maritime /industrial engineering museum. Partition an area for local artists of large sculptures the type that need large spaces, these spaces would be rented by the artist: Put the whole building back into steel fabrication / engineering for this there would not even be a change in use. a very simple and economic way to make the building sustainable. Hand the building ownership over to a private operator, allow them to restore and operate the building. Dunedin City Council would get a continuous and ongoing return via land lease and rates based on the value of the restored building. At the moment they are receiving zero, it is costing. Council have stated because of the Parks and Recreation status, the building must benefit the community. If the restored building is sustainable and creates employment for local people or adds value to local business' in the area this is all a benefit to the community. Also the visual streetscape to the restored industrial architecture is an asset to the community.
Wayne and Robyn Edgar		No	Indoor sports centre (for kids) - netball, badminton, footsal, climbing walls? Gathering point for local school functions. Indoor market space option in bad weather conditions. Matariki events. Boat maintenance space as before. Any other things -" just build it and they will come"
Gillian Elliot		Yes	Nature is central to Dunedin's identity. This is not only evident in the established nature-centric organisations (celebrating albatross, penguins, sea lions and more) but also referencing the recent ODT article about the three new nature tour operators starting up this coming season. I therefore suggest that the Sim building be used to further celebrate this vital connection with the nature around and before - us in Dunedin. I suggest that the building be used to house a Natural History Museum. This could focus on the three whales that are returning to our shores (right, sperm and humpback) but also examine the natural history of the harbour, present and also past. The scale of the building suggests animals of scale. This enterprise could be a collaboration of the Otago Museum, the University, Toitu, Port Otago and possibly other groups. A natural history museum in Port Chalmers would be a fantastic destination for the passengers from the 100+ cruise ships that plan to visit our shores. Better than a visit to a chocolate factory!
Kim Everett		Yes	Around Dunedin Dunedin and surroundings themed indoor mini/crazy golf ‘Around Dunedin’ … … Dunedin and surroundings themed indoor mini/crazy golf Kim Everett_8 August 2018 Description: 18 holes [+ 1 Virtual Reality hole] with each hole sponsored by a local business and designed by Otago Polytechnic and/or University of Otago students. With all sponsors/designers visibly named/acknowledged at relevant hole. Building: Using the original brickwork and building area (plus roof) plus car parking Interior design: Street Art of Dunedin replicated on the walls, artist named plus the location of original work in the City (to encourage exploration) Hole design themes could be nature, wildlife, historic, places and /or chronologically ordered following Dunedin city’s timeline. Suggestions for hole design included in submission.  Educational – eg Augmented Reality at the start of each hole revealing the history /information about each place (see postcards for Toiti Otago Settlers Museum)  Bi-lingual information and instructions – in English and Maori and Mandarin Benefits: to/for the local community ie Port Chalmers (eg in employment and leisure activity) and local businesses (eg promotion) and to the wider city of Dunedin and its visitors (especially cruise ship) Fun and educational for all ages Covered /indoor – can be used all year round An opportunity to also showcase Dunedin’s leading technology development and businesses eg in Augmented & Virtual Reality / Gaming / Films and/or Otago Museum
Jenny B. Kendrick	Port resident	Yes	Please see notes on attached document.
Jo Pearson	Wild Fennel Co. / The Port Pantry	Yes	For a couple of years we were stallholders at Auckland Hobsonville Pt Farmers Market (now the Catalina Bay market). This was in a disused aircraft hanger, in not too dissimilar condition to the Sims building (albeit with a roof). If you imagine pre-built market stalls (basically wooden pallets fashioned into tables/benches), ready for stallholders to just drop in and set up. You could then host a food market every week under cover which is ideal with Dunedin climate (there are also a plethora of food producers in Dunedin looking for an alternative to the Otago farmers market). Charging a stallholder fee would pay for a market manager. You could also use the space for a regular craft/artists market, as well as make the space available for one-off events like book or record fairs, or food / cooking evenings for example. Because it is sheltered (once it has a roof...) there aren’t the weather concerns of outdoor market spaces. But especially with a regular food market, the Sims building could play host to cruise ship passengers as well as make the Port even more of an attractive weekend destination for Dunedin residents. Imagine buskers, bikes for hire, coffee, kids entertainment, etc. Have attached an image from Hobsonville so you have a visual.
Marian Poole	Deborah Bay residents Association	Yes	The building obviously needs a substantial rebuild to make it comfortable as possible for future use. It could serve the community by actively attracting Dunedin and West Harbour residents to pursue their leisure activities in Port, particularly once the cycle/walkway is completed. 1. The 1880s section be refurbished as a local cinema with eatery cafe and toilets. This would work around the Building's location in its shady corner by removing the need to make the building light. A glass roof on the northern side would help though. 2. the 1930s section could become an indoor sports venue (indoor bowls) or carpark to service the cinema.
Kerri Spence	chipmunks	Yes	Car Park - there is a shortage of car parking for main street business - the side streets are usually full by Port Otago and business owners. This will help either Port Otago workers parking there and freeing up the side streets or potential visitors parking to spend time and money in the main street which needs every support
Tupten Tamang		Yes	A community gym.
Ulf Uchida	N/A	No	I think a covered public market/community/performance space could work quite well, especially during summer. I have seen an old industrial ship propeller factory in Hamburg (Zeise Hallen) converted to an attractive community/visitor/business facility (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeisehallen#/media/File:HH-Ottensen_Zeise-Hallen_850-zh.jpg) Port needs something to offer cruise shippers and locals in one of the old buildings IMHO.
Father Andrew		No	Thank you for your user-friendly public submission requests for possible uses of the Engineering works building. My suggestion is that the building be re-roofed and have the three-phase powerline reinstalled as an iconic enhancement and the building be used as a light engineering works for the general public. With best wishes and police respect.

417 Aramoana Road

Port Chalmers

25 September 2018

RE: Proposal for Restoration of the Historic Sims Building Port Chalmers

WN Brown & Sons Ltd submit their proposal for restoration of the historic Sims building in Port Chalmers.

Company Background

As a director of WN Brown & Sons Ltd, Bill Brown has previous experience with co-ordinating a restoration project.

The Angus Motors building at 471 Princes Street Dunedin commenced restoration in 2015. The façade of the building is now returned to its original state

The two top floors were earthquake strengthened and the asbestos roof cladding was removed.

The two top floors now house 4 fully tenanted apartments, all with new services. The ground floor has a main retail tenant including tenants at the rear of the building at 120-122 Bond Street. Mr Brown is familiar with the costs and work involved in restoring older buildings and can easily engage and work with building companies, engineers and trades associated with restoration. Mr Brown has also developed a working relationship with DCC staff on compliance matters on a number of projects.

Restoration Timeline

3 years from when the building is handed over to the company for restoration.

Company expectations of Council

· To produce an asbestos clearance certificate from an independent testing authority for the whole of the property

· DCC to drop the pine trees or make them safe on the bank above the building

· Allow WN Brown & Sons Ltd to replace the roof under the building code of repairs & maintenance. When the roof is completed there would be an application by the company for a building consent to continue with earthquake strengthening and other works to be completed

· All legal costs of preparing a leasehold title from DCC Parks & Recreation and property building title of the Sims building to WN Brown & Sons Ltd to be covered by DCC

· Terms of leasehold title would be 29 years with perpetual rights of renewal of 29 years

· Rent reviews at 9 year intervals

· Rates relief under restoring heritage buildings. Rates relief for the Sims building for the first 3 years

· A heritage grant towards restoration of the building such as restoring brick work and refurbishing vintage roller doors etc. The repainting of historic signage on the outside of the building and a contribution towards a historic plaque on the street front telling the maritime history of the building.

Showing commitment & keeping reserve land status in using the building.

What benefit and pleasure would the community receive from this proposal?

· If this historic building is restored and tenanted, whether it be steel fabrication/engineering under the existing zoning or perhaps an industry created from the cruise ships or many others under a changed activity. This would bring benefit to the community. If local people receive employment, that is a community benefit. If the tenant and their staff spend money in Port Chalmers retail that is a benefit to the local business community.

· Many local and Dunedin people have shown concern over what has happened to this heritage building and the thought of it being demolished and taking the history and stories of our maritime history with it. The Dunedin and Port Chalmers local people and visitors to our area would get the pleasure of walking past and viewing a restored part of our maritime history, of which there is very little left. The pleasure from reading about the great maritime achievements of past engineers of Port Chalmers on a historical plaque.
