Amanda Healy,
Development Partnership Manager and Paul Rowe, Development Manager, both of ChristchurchNZ,
presented to the Board on the work that has been completed regarding the
Former Lyttelton Council Stables Site.
During the presentation the following was noted:
· The Stables’ is a significant Lyttelton site with a rich
history but an uncertain future. The 3,359m² site is at the periphery of
Lyttelton’s commercial zone. The Stables building and the Lyttelton
Information Centre are the only remaining buildings on site. Both are Council
listed heritage buildings.
· The Donald Street Stables were severely damaged in the
earthquakes, have been fenced-off since 2011, and remain derelict.
· Identification and assessment of feasible redevelopment options
for a challenging site, including finding a sustainable future for a listed
heritage building. This involved evaluating development models and
responsibilities while balancing community needs with the creation of a
destination attraction.
· Going forward, further technical and commercial assessment will be
undertake to confirm development feasibility, decisions on approach, funding
for heritage restoration and community engagement.
