Shock over $5.5m spent Consultants

Councillor Ian Pottinger last month filed a Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act request seeking details on the amount spent on consultants for Project 1225, which includes the new museum for Southland, the tuatara enclosure and also a storage facility in Tisbury.

From July 2021 to February this year, the council spent $5,565,113 in total — $5,198,845 for the museum, $257,097 for the storage facility and $108,371 for the tuatara enclosure.
