Consultants have been paid $150,000 to study how an overhaul of Dunedin’s city-centre streets could affect traffic.

More than $250,000 was given to "premier events" in Dunedin last month, the Dunedin City Council has revealed.

Strong domestic support over the school holiday period is keeping Dunedin accommodation providers afloat, Otago Motel Associa0tion president Alex Greenan says.

If planners get proposed road changes wrong, they could bring Dunedin city centre traffic to a standstill, the New Zealand Automobile Association says.

An e-bike scheme to get staff from the Dunedin City Council on bikes has attracted less interest than had been hoped.

If Port Chalmers residents see crew from ships in the port in town, they can be assured robust procedures in place are being followed at Port Otago, chief executive Kevin Winders says.

There are fears the demolition of the former Cadbury factory without a definite plan for the future of the site could be a permanent blow to Dunedin’s historic streetscape.

For the past 30 years, the world has walked through Yvonne Sutherland’s Portobello door.

The public will not know how changes to Dunedin’s central city one-way system could affect traffic flows through the city until after public engagement on the project ends next week.

A date has been set for the first meeting of the advisory group for the George St upgrade.

The $761million the Government has dangled to help local government upgrade drinking, waste and stormwater infrastructure across New Zealand has been welcomed by Otago mayors.

Two-thirds of responses so far to a survey on changes to Dunedin’s central city one-way system want it to remain as it is.

Allegations of leaning over and berating a staff member, swearing, "spraying saliva", and threatening staff job security if he was elected mayor have all been levelled against Cr Lee Vandervis.
