2.2       Public Forum - Commercial Rates

 

Matt Easton advised that he owned the Pool House and back packers and felt that commercial accommodation providers were on an unfair playing field in respect of commercial rates, compared to the University and Air B and B properties, both of which rent out beds.

Mr Easton voiced his concerns with freedom campers parking close together and spoke of the use and potential risk should a gas cannister blow.  He advised that he adhered to all safety regulations and believed the campers should also.

Ms Smith and Mr Heath responded to questions on the provision of car parks; heritage and the financial pressure to rebuild.

 

 

 

2.4       Public Forum - Reverse the Closure of the Carriageway

 

Anne Marie Parsons spoke of the achievements of her late husband; Henry Richard Wain Skinner, and her disappointment that they had never been recognised. 

His achievements included fencing off the albatross colony to provide protection for the albatross, .setting up the Taieri Gorge Railway, and running a small tour company, which he used to advocate and successfully bring cruise ships to Dunedin. 

In response to questions, Ms Parsons commented that she would like recognition for her late husband and agreed that a plaque appropriately placed would be suitable.

 

2.5       Public Forum - Octagon Closure

 

Dougal McGowan, Otago Chamber of Commerce addressed the meeting on the proposed Octagon closures.  He commented on the concerns raised by affected businesses on the lack of communication they had received over the proposed trial.

Mr McGowan noted earlier committee reports where support was given for pedestrianisation trials to be undertaken in the lower Octagon and lower Stuart Street.  He commented that full closure was not supported, and that the upper Octagon should be open and available for buses to drop off and pick up passengers. 

Mr MGowan responded to questions.

 

2.6       Public Forum - Octagon Closure

 

Paul Phelan, Chairman, Dunedin Host spoke on the proposed Octagon closure during Jan – March 2020, noting the Dunedin Host members and the tourism industry had concerns with the proposed closure.  Mr Phelan spoke of the lack of communication and consultation.  He advised that he understood that Council had approved closure of the lower Octagon and lower Stuart Street previously and therefore, the new proposal raised confusion.

Mr Phelan commented that the impact the closure would have on cruise ship visitors and tourism with buses unable to drop passengers in the centre of the city, and the negative impact for businesses, including the need to reprint previously printed material.  

Mr Phelan then responded to questions.
