A report outlining potential futures for Timaru’s oldest pub and the building adjacent to it will be presented to the local council in October. The document explores various options for the two structures, which have been part of the town’s heritage for decades. Councilors are expected to consider whether the buildings should remain as they are, be repurposed, or be put up for sale. The decision comes as part of ongoing efforts to balance historical preservation with modern development needs. Local residents and business owners have expressed interest in the outcome, with some advocating for the buildings to be maintained as cultural landmarks. Others suggest the properties could be redeveloped to meet current commercial demands. The council meeting will provide a platform for public input before a final decision is made.
