Invercargill's CBD strategy is well underway following two successful stakeholder workshops held in the City during March.
Led by strategists from First Retail Group, the sessions brought together a wide range of participants from the retail, hospitality, property, tourism, and corporate sectors. Around 100 people took part in the events that looked at opportunities, challenges and actions necessary to achieve greater success for both businesses and the community.
Stakeholder feedback and involvement has delighted those working on the project, explained Invercargill City Centre Co-Ordinator, Kari Graber. "People and businesses have been highly forthcoming with ideas and time. We'd hoped to achieve strong collaboration, however the response has been quite exceptional"
"A CBD is the very heart of any city, so keeping that successful is both commercially and socially responsible" says First Retail Group's project lead, Lorraine Nicholson. "Improving amenity value, employment opportunities, spaces and places mean Invercargill will be a destination of choice - helping stem spending attrition, which we acknowledge is a key issue for the local economy".
The strategy looks at key aspects of attraction, experience, environment and economic measures necessary to achieve rapid and sustained change. Ensuring businesses and the community are at the centre of forward decisions has been fundamental and will continue as the project develops.
A 'no-barriers, no excuses' approach means many of the initiatives recommended could be achieved within existing budgets, while, suggestions can help shape discussion and decisions around major projects - both from a civic and commercial perspective.
No strangers to Invercargill First Retail Group, has worked with local businesses previously, having delivered retail capability building workshops for Venture Southland in 2016 along with a range of tourism projects across the region.
Nicholson sums up sentiment from businesses and those working on the project; "Invercargill has exciting opportunities ahead, along with the capability and resources to make things happen. We're anticipating this CBD strategy will be a catalyser for greater commercial confidence, changing mindsets and helping get the City Centre back on radar with consumers and retailers"
First Retail Group's team will be back in Invercargill mid-March to meet stakeholders, discuss concepts and validate strategies under consideration. The final report will be delivered to Council early April.

COMMUNITY Stalwarts, Eileen
Banton and Graham Nutt were
presented with the Council’s Order
of Merit in recognition of their
years of community contribution.
Councillor Pat Murray, chairman
of South Derbyshire District
Council and Chief Executive Frank
McArdle presented the awards at
the full council meeting held at the
civic offices in Swadlincote.
Cllr Murray, said: "It gave me
great pleasure to present both
Graham Nutt and Eileen Banton
with their Orders of Merit.
"The work of Graham in the
Magic Attic is fantastic and shows
a long history of Swadlincote and
South Derbyshire and it is the first
port of call for anyone who wishes
to find out more about the area.
"The Magic Attic is his legacy
and will continue long into the
future.
"Eileen was one of the first peo-
ple I met when I came to South
Derbyshire and she assisted me in
setting up the Neighbourhood
Watch for Midway, which is still
going strong."
Mrs Banton, who is retiring after
36 years with Derbyshire Police,
said: "I feel very proud to think
that the council wants to honour
me for my work in the area.
"In my time with the force I
worked closely with the council and
struck up a great working relation-
ship.
"I have always had an affinity
with South Derbyshire.
"I started my service there and
finished it there and I could not
have planned it any better.”
Mr Nutt is being honoured for
his role in protecting, preserving
and presenting the history of the
area via his work at the Magic
Attic.
Since 1987, the historian has
overseen work at the site, which
houses an archive of photographs,
newspapers and artefacts from yes-
teryear.
Mr Nutt said: “I was little sur-
prised but very proud to receive the
Order of Merit.
"I have worked closely with the
council over the years and it is a
great honour.
“I am also very proud of the vol-
unteers who have supported the
Magic Attic from the beginning.
"I am incredibly grateful for
their support and dedication.”

Derbyshire have been

£75,000 through the
Global Derbyshire Small
Business Support
Programme.
Derbyshire Economic Partnership,
backed by Derbyshire County
Council, secured £3m for small busi-
nesses from the Government's

awarded to small firms in and
around Swadlincote and South

and one in Melbourne have received
a combined total of £54,059.
Councillor Joan Dixon, Derbyshire
County Council cabinet member for
jobs, economy and transport, said:
“We know times are tough for small
businesses and understand they may
think twice about committing the
necessary investment to grow.
"But the match funding available
through this project might just give
them the help needed to take the
next step towards job creation.
“So if you run a small business
then what are you waiting for?
"Your company could be eligible
for a grant of up to £75,000, so get in

Gary Musson, chairman of
Swadlincote's Chamber of Trade, is
delighted with the news.
He said: "Any support beit finan-
cial, advisory or other, is much need-
ed for all businesses and obviously I
am very pleased that they are going
to businesses in Swadlincote and
South Derbyshire.
"We are holding our own (in
Swadlincote and South Derbyshire)
but it is still a difficult trading envi-
ronment and anything that helps
businesses stand fast or even grow is
very much appreciated."
Richard Horsley, Chairman of the
Derbyshire Economic Partnership,
said: “The aim is to champion the
needs of business, promote growth
across our great county and ensure
all the key movers and shakers in
Derbyshire are focused on delivering
jobs and prosperity.
"Global Derbyshire demonstrates
our commitment to this aim but the
funding is time limited.
I would urge all businesses with
eligible projects to contact us."
