IMAGE: MCAULIFFE STEVENSTourism heavyweight Skyline Enterprises has unveiled concept plans for a $26 million redevelopment of an almost 30-year-old building in Queenstown's CBD. The new-look four-storey O'Connells Pavilion, in Camp St, has already gained the approval of DowntownQT chairman Steve Wilde, who described it as ``fabulous'' and hoped it would be the catalyst for other building owners to upgrade their premises. Last week the Queenstown Lakes District Council agreed to forge ahead with the $385 million Queenstown Town Centre Masterplan, which would benefit businesses in the CBD. ``The analysis of seismic strengthening played an important early role in determining that redevelopment was the best option for O'Connells Pavilion.''
