IMAGE: MCCOY WIXON ARCHITECTSA proposed four-staged development of the Central Campus polytechnic site near Cromwell should be approved, the Central Otago District Council's senior planner says. The polytech has proposed a 10-year plan to expand its Bannockburn Rd facilities and relocate some of the operations from its Cromwell site there. The Bannockburn Rd location of the polytech campus, on the fringe of rural resource area, was appropriate for the horticultural focus of much of the training, while also maintaining "high level of connectivity" to Cromwell, he said. Effects on visual amenity, traffic, noise and of retail activities would also be no more than minor.
