IMAGE: SUPPLIEDAn independent commissioner has given the go-ahead for a restaurant to build a deck beside the historic Dunedin Railway Station. Commissioner Gary Rae released his decision this morning, which ruled the project could proceed. The Dunedin City Council received more than 60 public submissions on Cobb & Co Dunedin's plans for a 150sqm deck on public land at the northern end of the railway station. The deck had already been granted resource and building consent, but required a public hearing as the deck would occupy public land.
