12th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Catholic Parish of Napier – Administration and Mission Centre
An application for Building Consent for the new Administration and Mission
Centre was lodged this week with the Napier City Council. This represents a
significant milestone.
We first met with Tony Murphy, (the recently retired Manager of the Palmerston
North Diocese) in late 2018 to discuss this project . The Diocese were very
encouraging and were delighted with the proposed new building for our Parish
Administration and Mission Centre on the St Patrick’s site. It was made very
clear to us that this was not to be just an office building but also to be a Mission
outreach to the city.
During 2019 and 2020 three meetings were held with parishioners to discuss the
Concept Design plans and to gauge support for the project. Some modifications
were suggested to the roof line of the planned building, however, parishioners
overwhelmingly supported the project. Resource Consent was received from the
Napier City Council on 8 April 2020, just as COVID19 began to impact our
normal way of life.
After receiving Resource Consent we commissioned our architect to progress to
the detailed design drawings. This meant engaging our preferred consultants to
obtain the best outcome. Two building construction companies were invited to
submit a preliminary quotation so that we had some idea of construction costs.
When detailed design drawings were received they were reviewed by our
consultants and one construction company was asked to submit a quotation to
carry out the work. Our independent Quantity Surveyor has carefully examined
(line by line) this quotation.
The lodgment of the Building Consent application represents a great deal of
work both by ourselves and our consultants. I sincerely thank Jonathan Bissell
who has been a great help to me during this process. He brings a wealth of
knowledge and experience from his many years in the Parish to this new project.
If the Building Consent stage proceeds as expected we would hope to have our
building contractors on site in August or September. Please keep this project in
your prayers. We will be undertaking a fundraising campaign in due course.
