Artist’s former studio
likely to get grant
• By Louis Day
THE FORMER studio
of well-known artist Bill
Hammond could be set to
receive a $258,782 grant.
City council staff have
recommended the money
go towards renovating
Kilwinning Lodge in
Canterbury St, Lyttelton.
A decision will be made
today.
THe building was
significantly damaged
in the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
Director of structural
engineering company
Structex Will Lomax
bought the lodge from
Hammond in December
2015.
THe top floor, which is
shrouded in rich Masonic
architecture and decor, will
be transformed into new
office space for Structex.
The bottom floor will be
made available for retail.
THe project is expected to
be completed within a year.
Restoration project
manager Monica
Beaumont said the building
HISTORIC: A city council grant could help renovate
artist Bill Hammond’s former studio.
would provide people with
a unique retail experience.
“THere is not a lot of
heritage space left in
Lyttelton and there is
certainly not a lot of
heritage commercial space
available,” she said.

Dark Star to close this month
THE DARK Star Ale house
and Café will close at the
end of the month.
Co-owner of the café
Martin Richardson previously
told the Bay Harbour
News they would consider
limited opening hours but
said this was no longer
possible.
“We have decided that
limited opening hours for
us is not going to be financially
viable, hence why we
are closing in March,” he
said.
Statutory approval for
the cafe building, the
equivalent of a building
and resource consent,
was obtained by a
previous owner through
emergency earthquake
legislation.
That approval expired
in April but was extended
to June 2021.
A petiton on change org
which called for the site’s
statutory building approval
to be extended “until such
time as new services are
built on the Godley House
site” received more than
3000 signatures and was
presented to the Banks
Peninsula Community
Board.
City council head of facilities
property and planning
Bruce Rendall said
they could not consider
extending the lease without
a formal proposal.
“The council continues
to be open to considering
a proposal to transfer the
lease to a new operator,
however, to date no new
proposal or operator has
been presented,” he said.
However, Mr
Richardson said it was
difficult to attract a new
business to occupy the site
with only two years left on
the lease.
