Posted 17th July 2016 to the Southland Express Newspaper Invercargill NZ.
Dear Southland Express,
It is topical now that Invercargill has got a real problem with it’s future
Ask the Boys at GNS and Climate Scientists and they agree that The City is simply built in the wrong place.
It is sad to say there is No financial model that says it is feasible to get it up to scratch for what lies in store.
Perhaps it might be prudent to start on a totally New CBD in another location and leave the Historic Town Centre alone
Much like the did in Oamaru.
One Great Enclosed Shopping Mall somewhere inland would fit the needs of the 21st century better than trying to shoe-horn it into the
Context of the 19th ?
Climate Change and Subduction Zones are real albeit future problems, but that being said it is not the 19th Century anymore, we don’t need to live by the waters edge
If we need to ship goods and people.
