The Otago Regional
Council has decided on a "pathway" towards solving its
accommodation problems which includes providing for a
temporary council chamber in its Stafford St car park.
Dunedin's tertiary sector will soon have about 100 new free
or lower-cost car-parking spaces, following the demise of
what was supposed to be an environmentally sustainable system
designed to reduce emissions and take the pressure off
parking.
The Dunedin City Council is buying a privately run car park
offering cheaper fees and increasing them to match its own,
but a council manager denies the action is monopolistic.
