Environment Court decision relating to the Peel Street Toilets in Gisborne.
In summary:-
· Toilets not listed with NZHPT
· Toilets not scheduled by the council, although their heritage consultant had in the past recommended that they be scheduled.
· Council wanted to demolish the toilets to enable street redevelopment.
· Luke Donnelly obtained a court order stopping the demolition, just as the bulldozers where being unloaded.
· Environment Court agreed with Mr Donnelly that the toilets were of heritage value, even though they were not listed or scheduled, and that they should be protected.
