Upgrades of the Cargo Shed will not be continued due to results of a geotechnical assessment, undertaken to inform the planned internal upgrades.

The results are in relation to the susceptibility of the property during seismic events. The Cargo Shed would require extensive foundation improvements to stabilise the property and reduce the risk during a seismic event. In addition, significant structural improvement is required to bring the Cargo Shed up to today’s standards.

Due to the cost involved with upgrading the shed to meet these standards, Council will not continue with the upgrades. The Cargo Shed will not be available for bookings.

The future of the Dive Crescent area is yet to be determined and first requires Council and the Otamataha Trust to acquire the legal title for the land from the Crown. Once the title has been transferred to the Council and the Trust, the future of the area can be fully explored, including undertaking necessary and appropriate improvements.
