Korohiwa bus barn upgrade moves forward
Mayor David Ogden has announced that the refurbishment of the Korohiwa bus barn is a step closer following the granting
of a resource consent.
“I’m delighted the consent has been approved and that the project can move forward.
“This iconic Eastbourne landmark will enjoy a whole new lease of life and revitalise Korohiwa when work is completed.
“The consent gives us approval to fully refurbish the bus barn, restoring it to its original condition and reinstating
three apartments on the first floor.
“The bus barn has a category two historic places classification and our architects are working with conservation
architect Ian Bowman and the Historic Places Trust to ensure we preserve its heritage value.
“The building consent application will now be lodged and tenders called for. We expect construction to begin by
Christmas.”
