The Nelson City Council has purchased the Nelson Bus Terminal with the site being earmarked for either a playground or housing. The bus terminal and depot on Bridge St was purchased by the council for $2,925,000, a price the council said was determined by market value, with the ownership date taking effect next July. Buses will still run from the depot site until an alternative is found.
In a statement from the Nelson City Council strategic property and development subcommittee chairwoman councillor Gaile Noonan said it was the ideal time to make the purchase as it fit with so many of the council’s goals for the city centre.
