The Dowling St site was officially blessed with a karakia and sod turning on Tuesday morning.
The building is a 50:50 joint venture between Ngāi Tahu Property and the ACC investment yeam, and will feature 8000 square metres of office space.
As part of the deal, the Dunedin City Council sold the car park – which had been previously linked to other potential developments – to Ngāi Tahu Property for $3 million.
The new building is expected to be completed by early 2024.

We encourage people to follow their dreams and familiarise themselves with the power of their mind. Bringing dreams to fruition does not necessarily consist only of "hard slog". It is more likely to be about prioritisation. Doing more of what will lead to success & saying no to what won't. Learn to co-create with the universe. The universe responds to velocity, playfulness & openness.
So yes follow your dreams... create your dreams. Make the decision to START & the universe will conspire to bring it into physical form with you. How inspiring is that?

While this data is from 2016, and may have improved slightly in the 2017-18 reporting period, the Southern District Health Board has called it “unjust, unfair and in breach of te Tiriti o Waitangi”.
During a board meeting on Tuesday, the DHB revealed what it plans to do to achieve better health outcomes for Māori.
The action plan includes the appointments to Māori-focused roles, developing more robust equity reporting, the establishment of a Māori Health Equity Strategy Group, and addressing underinvestment in Kaupapa Māori health services.

If your property catches fire or you’re in a car crash, it is the volunteers and career firefighters of Fire and Emergency New Zealand who come running to help.
As soon as that siren goes, they drop what they’re doing and put your safety first.
Behind our tremendous volunteers are another group of community heroes, who get less attention but are vital to Fire and Emergency.
It’s the employers and co-workers who support our volunteers at work, knowing that at any moment they may need to leave and respond to a crisis.
Did you know Fire and Emergency give recognition to the local businesses who support this important work with the Proud Employer mark?
Look out for this mark on businesses in your community or find out which of your local businesses are Proud Employers of Fire and Emergency volunteers here.
And you can show your support for our hardworking fire crews by making a comment on this post – why not share a tribute you would like to make to our firefighters.
Pictured here are four of the 12,000 volunteers who work across the country. Left to right: Marshall (Marsh) Anderson, Jarrad West, Iain Powell, and Marsh’s brother Ti Anderson. All work at Fonterra and volunteer for the local fire brigade.

For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training and stocking up on essentials to putting together a grab n’ go bag or working with your neighbours to create a neighbourhood resillience plan, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you and your community can get through any situation. Joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group is a great way to keep in touch and work together to reach out, look out and help out one another no matter what life may bring.
Don’t forget! This month also coincides with New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 28th at 9:30am.
Let us know how you’re getting prepared this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
