Photo: Gregor Richardson Retaining the century-old Sims Engineering building in Port Chalmers is likely to be extensive and costly, a report has found. The Dunedin City Council has released two reports on the state of the former foundry building but has redacted the estimated cost of the work required to retrofit the building and make it safe for use. The council has asked for expressions of interest and public input on the future of the building but ratepayers will not be footing the bill.

Council acting general manager of infrastructure and networks Leanne Mash said the building was an important part of the Port Chalmers community so the council wanted to see its future secured.

But as no strategic use for the building had been identified by the council no ratepayer money would be used to bring the building up to code, Ms Mash said. As the building was on council reserve land the building must have a public use, though a commercial operation which had community values would be considered. Public information sessions would be held in Port Chalmers this month and the West Harbour Community Board would consider the proposals before making a recommendation to the council.

A seismic assessment by structural engineer Kieran McGrannachan found there were major issues with the building, particularly the section closest to Port Chalmers. A significant amount of structural and seismic retrofitting would be required to strengthen the building which would likely be extensive and costly, he said.

From August , people can get more information and submit their suggestions for possible uses of the building at www. Hawkins from the DCC should be contacted he was the lead in buying Sammies so he and the DCC have set the benchmark for saving old buildings, this would make a great bar restaurant for the cruise ships that visit.
