A heritage programme recognising 12 significant landmarks that have shaped Otago has been launched today. Otago Landmarks Whenua Tohunga, a culture and heritage programme aimed at promoting Otago's important places, was launched at a special ceremony by Dunedin North MP David Clark at Olveston House this afternoon. Dunedin's Railway Station is on the list of significant Otago landmarks. There were also plans to add more significant landmarks to the list, especially those of significance to Maori culture and history. The purpose of the landmarks programme was to increase the collective prominence and showcase the locations to locals and visitors.
