The Saint Patrick's Site is to be
redeveloped so as to become the centre for the Dunedin South Pastoral Area.
There are three components to the redevelopment. 1. Redevelop the old school
buildings to become the centre for Catholic Social Services and to create a
multi-purpose Community centre which will include a children's playground. 2.
Creating a park in the midst of an Industrial Area. We are applying to demolish
the present presbytery so as to create community green space. 3. Renovating the
Basilica which includes establishing a new entrance and a connection into the
Mercy Chapel. We aim to create a prayerful place; a welcoming place of
gathering, suitable for modern worship. Below is an aerial map of the Site with
the key buildings highlighted followed by a concept plan of the development:
