The Provincial Growth Fund has announced it will invest $820,000 into the Dunedin Waterfront Project.
The multimillion-dollar plan includes a five-star hotel, ferry terminal, marine science building, public aquarium and cockleshell-shaped cultural centre.
“A revitalised waterfront will add to Dunedin’s appeal as a visitor destination,” Regional Economic Development Minister Shane Jones said.
“The vision for the waterfront project also includes a hotel, residential accommodation, and aims to be a focal point for locals and visitors. The project is the right kind of ambition we want to see regions striving for and includes a plan to connect the town centre, the university and the stadium with walkways, cycleways and a bridge.”
The Dunedin City Council has already voted to support a $20 million architecture project joining the CBD and the waterfront area.
