Redevelopment of a Dunedin church may provide a public park

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

A public park may be created as part of a $2.6 million redevelopment of a Dunedin church.

“The idea of creating a space for our parishioners and the community is very appealing … We envisage it would be somewhere for our congregation to gather, and also a place where a worker from [nearby businesses] could eat their lunch under a tree on a nice day,” said parish priest of St Patrick’s in South Dunedin, Father Gerard Aynsley.
