Dunedin's proposed new CBD makeover revealed
Dunedin wants to become one of the "world's great small cities", and a redesigned central business district is a big part of that plan.
A report from O3 Collective notes there is an opportunity for the city's main street to become a destination ''that people want to spend time in and is a lively and active place to do business''.
The project, to be discussed by the city council on Monday, could include wider footpaths, more seating, increased planting, reduced speed for motorists, and better access to car park buildings.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
