Strip, Exchange winners
The Oxford Terrace strip and Bus Exchange have won
awards. The Strip won a Town Centres Association of NZ
achievement award. The awards honour the country’s best
town centre revitalisations done between January 1997 and
September this year. The Strip won the economic
development category. The association named the Bus Exchange as a finalist in its
community category. The Bus Exhange was also awarded an Extra Touch award
by the Association of Blind Citizens of NZ for ensuring it
works for blind and visually impaired people. City Council transport planner Stuart Woods says the
Council set out to involve a wide range of community
groups when it was planning the work. “The excellent facility
we now have is in large measure a result of the quality input
of the various groups we consulted with,” he says. |
