I am all for retaining historic buildings when it is viable but this building has been empty for 20 years. No one will buy it so demolish it and give the Bluff community an even bigger event that will deliver real long-term benefits.
it is such a shame that with our stringent regulations in NZ that so much of our history and character is getting lost when in lots of overseas countries these are now the sort after areas, as has also happened in Ponsonby in Auckland which a number of years ago was regarded as the pits. With more tourists and more favourable economic conditions this would make an interesting place for them to shop in prior to catching the ferry with accommodation on top.
Demolish the decrepit old building,it's an eyesore and adding another 1000 tickets to the oyster festival is only a good thing,for goodness sake how on earth can anyone think keeping that old building is a good idea
Is it not dangerous to anyone walking past it? Just like the watertower can't climb up it but you can stand in front of it and get your photo taken !!!

Ditto , I’m for heritage buildings too , but time for demolish. It’s never going to be refurbished time to quit and move on.
