"As the associated port, supporting our local museum is the right thing to do," he said. And, for Port Otago, it’s a feather in their cap to be able to show off Port Chalmers’ maritime history." Earlier in the year, Port Otago received resource consent to build a three-storey administration block, which will wrap around the museum.
