A plan to redevelop the area over a 30-year period was backed in 2017 by the Dunedin City Council, Port Otago, the Otago Regional Council and others.[4] The plan was allocated $19.9 million in October 2019 from the Provincial Growth Fund for the first stage of building, but was put on hold in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
