“Yes, they are very scary numbers, and it is a horrible time economically at the moment, but any dollar we don’t spend on this today is going to turn into $50 tomorrow."
Consultation seems a little pointless, it really hasn’t gone well any other time it’s been used has it? Wachner Place for example. Car parking and green status, get rid of it. If you staff and present it well it will get its dues.
Curious though how much current revenue do we make from the properties that are constantly being pushed for selling though. Do we ditch long term income to cover some of it now? And it really still wouldn’t cover the short fall would it.
Maybe we need to ditch some of the vanity projects and put the majority of the eggs into one basket for the city.
SO $71m + $19m? It's projects like these that need to be reassessed as simple overspend stupidity. Councils need to have their ability to spend like this on non-essentials and vanity project removed.
Keep going as planned .We have waited long enough without a museum so we need one up and running A.S.A.P and no reduction on the WOW factor .This is a statement piece for Invercargill and Southland and needs to be seen to be such as our city grows
It's all the waiting that's driving up the cost of any project you do in this economic climate. I'm wanting to do some renovations but every time I look at it the costs triple - that's what's happening here. Just lock it down and build it. It's never going to be cheaper...
Just get the job done. No downsizing, no more time wasting and consulting.
