identity.Wewant the site to reflect this<br />

and be an assetfor our community.”<br />

Any new projects for the sitewill need to<br />

be economically viableand attract visitors<br />

to Kaikoura,hesays.<br />

to create aspace for everyone to enjoy —<br />

the council will seek expressionsof<br />

interest. There is not expected to be any<br />

construction on the site until towards the<br />

end of nextyear or earlyin2022.<br />

“We recognisedthat avisit to Wakatu<br />

Quay and walking aroundthe wharf is an<br />

activitythat manyfamilies enjoy over the<br />
