Dunedin NZ Tourism Windfall 2017

Posted June 15th 2017 to the Otago Daily Times Newspaper Dunedin NZ



With the Government wanting to push for better tourism facilities in NZ after a bumper year of profits into the billions
perhaps it is time to go over some hidden gems from the 1990s that where once brought to public attention and need to make a comeback?

Special Heritage Streets Like High Street should be a thing, The Mornington Cable Car... goes without saying... Cargill’s Castle feature & Clifftop Cycleway, a must.
Tunnel Beach Elevator sounds do-able,  Re-naturalizing the Harbour Shoreline, yes please.

Dunedin has an amazing setting and history that are either overlooked by the people that manage them or they are not keep on being too attractive lest they face becoming another Queenstown or Auckland.

Growth seem to come like it or not. The only thing to do is try and embrace the positives unlike some cities there is a lot of space to expand especially to the North, It might have to be a second city though as Dunedin itself is getting tight these days.

If they plan to look South... A shoreline Cycleway from Blackhead to Brighton would be a public asset too  Perhaps the Quarry guys can shape the last remains of Blackhead into a Tower from Lord of the Rings while they are at it...
