Redevelopment of the Cromwell town centre is back on the table.
Central Otago district councillors and the Cromwell Community Board held a workshop last week to shape the direction of the redevelopment.
Central Otago District Mayor Tamah Alley said in a statement the workshop was a constructive step towards shaping a town centre that reflected Cromwell’s evolving needs.
"This redevelopment is about creating a thriving, accessible and welcoming town centre that reflects Cromwell’s unique character and growing community.
"Bringing elected members together to review the work to date and explore the next phase ensures we are aligned and well positioned to move forward."
Community board chairwoman Anna Harrison said a key takeaway from the session was a shared commitment to getting the project under way.
"It’s really important to have council and the community board working together to progress the long-awaited Cromwell town centre project," Ms Harrison said.
"This workshop was a first step in making sure we all have the same information and common understandings of the journey so far, so we can confidently consider our next steps," she said. — Allied Media
