A six-week independent review of plans to redevelop George St was announced by the Dunedin City Council hours after the first meeting of a new advisory group for Dunedin’s main street upgrade. Dunedin Mayor Aaron Hawkins said in a statement issued this evening that Urbanism Plus director Kobus Mentz would review the project to make sure plans were still fit for purpose. "George Street is the heart of our city and we are committed to getting this right," Mr Hawkins said in the statement. "The review will consider work to date and whether evidence supports the proposed design," the statement said.
