Anthony hopes to continue specialising within the commercial valuation field while supporting the residential team.$7 million for Otago Cycleways
More than $7 million in funding for the construction of another three cycle trails in Otago was confirmed yesterday from the Acting Minister of Tourism, Jonathan Coleman.This includes three separate developments; a 312 km Alps to Ocean trail (from the foot of Aoraki/Mt Cook to Oamaru), the Clutha Gold Trail (Roxburgh to Lawrence), and the Queenstown Trail (a series of trails within the Wakatipu basin). Mr Coleman said “It’s great news for the district…. it’s massive” and believed the trail would create the greatest tourism investment impact on the local economy since The Hermitage was built at Aoraki-Mt Cook more than a century ago.

Star Rating For Student Flats
A new "Star Rating" scheme has been developed to try and combat the well known poor condition, cold and damp student flats within the city, and improve the standard of student accommodation overall. This scheme has been developed by the Dunedin City Council, the University and the Otago Polytechnic.The scheme is voluntary and landlords can log onto the website to register their rental properties. Rental properties will then be given a star rating from 1 to 5. This is based on the landlord’s responses to the online questionnaire form that they fill in.
Questionnaire responses are asked for things like:
- Fire safety
- Heating
- Ventilation
- Security
- Amenities
