An Invercargill innercity master-plan has proposed to reduce part of Tay St - between Dee St and Kelvin St - from four lanes to two. The most vocal have been business owners along the south side of Tay St. HWR Richardson Property owns a large number of the Tay St buildings between Dee St and Kelvin St. HWR Richardson Property manager Sue Hill agreed the proposal to remove parking and delivery drop off areas was an issue. A suggested solution was to add a service lane, look at ways to use Wood St more effectively, and reduce the amount of green space in the plan.
Farmers will be the anchor retail tenant with Invercargill Central Ltd director Scott O Donnell saying they have eyed an April 2022 opening date. Negotiations with other tenants were ongoing and didn’t expect to be in a position to confirm any further outlets until at least February or March. “There’s not really anything we can announce at the moment.’’ With the opening date still close to 16 months away O’Donnell said they did have time on their side. He added that most of the prospective tenants would focus on the Christmas, New Year period before looking to confirm any decisions.

Both businesses are relocating from other sites in the city.

This is a story about trying to inspire strangers – and committing some crimes to do it.
On the train bridge that goes across Lady Bird Lake, just east of Lamar, there s some graffiti. Some of it is your average garbage, but other pieces stand out.
There’s one piece that says in huge letters, “I’ve Got Ninja Style And A Kung Fu Grip.” There’s another piece with Pac-Man being chased by four ghosts that says “Never Give Up. They’re big – yes – but they’re not particularly detailed or anything. They stand out mostly because they’re kind of inspirational, not just some random tag from someone trying to promote their brand.
