Approximate Value: $105m
The George Street Redevelopment of Dunedin’s retail and commercial precinct, creating a more accessible, pedestrian-friendly city centre while renewing critical infrastructure beneath the street. The works covered four city blocks, adjoining streets and five intersections.
The redevelopment included major upgrades to ageing water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, alongside new paving, landscaping, lighting, public art, street furniture and public spaces.
Rawlinsons worked closely with Dunedin City Council throughout the project, providing quantity surveying and cost management from establishing the original budget through design and construction. Delivering the work within a busy CBD required careful cost management as the design evolved and construction progressed around businesses, pedestrians and traffic.
The project was completed approximately six months ahead of the previously forecast programme.
