Arts Hub Debate

Operational Considerations - Stakeholder Engagement

Option 2

Residents supporting Option 2 emphasize the importance of involving the community and relevant organizations in the decision-making process to ensure the long-term sustainability and suitability of the adapted building for the arts hub. They advocate for thorough investigations into the chosen property to confirm its viability for the intended use. Additionally, there is openness to considering a new building if it remains financially feasible and includes community consultation to align with broader stakeholder interests and needs.

Point No	Comment
500.8	I strongly support the need for a new arts hub building in Nelson, but adaptive reuse of an existing building is the most cost effective and environmentally sound way forward.However, the long-term sustainability and suitability of any chosen building must be fully investigated, with input from the communities and organisations which will use the building
529.8	If the budget was not outrageous then I would not say no to new building BUT it would have to be put forward for community consultation...
