We think we could do that fairly straightforward with some walking paths, maintaining some of the key elements.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Listen to the audio below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AUG-27-Former-municipal-buildings-no-brief.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other two options were to demolish the municipal building without doing anything with the property, estimated to cost around $200,000, or to renovate the building and add necessary parking, which comes with an estimated $600,000 price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recommended option would run around $550,000, which puts the cost of the park around $350,000, with the cost spread out over three fiscal years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it is, the park is a great bit of green space in the middle of Dorchester, but it&#8217;s composed of disparate elements this plan could help unify, said Amos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;\u200aThe gazebo&#8217;s great. The sandpiper exhibit is great. The cenotaph is great. We can work with those with some walking paths, some lighting, some plaques, an entrance, a kind of pavilion when you walk in. For relatively low cost, we could maintain what&#8217;s of value in the park and then augment it and have it all read cohesively as one.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"646b60\" data-has-transparency=\"true\" style=\"--dominant-color: #646b60;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1228\" height=\"737\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1228px) 100vw, 1228px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/property-boundary-of-municipal-building.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98673 has-transparency\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/property-boundary-of-municipal-building.avif 1228w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/property-boundary-of-municipal-building-600x360.avif 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/property-boundary-of-municipal-building-768x461.avif 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A satellite image showing the property boundary of the former village office in Dorchester.

(And) I don&#8217;t see where the parking is on the diagram, so I am a little curious about that, but that&#8217;s mostly curiosity.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the small footprint of the park, Amos said parking was deliberately excluded, but also pointed out council will have plenty of chance for input if they choose to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This was really to get the conversation started. I think a public washroom always has a lot of benefit. It does bring with it operational costs and some risks, as we&#8217;ve learned with Bill Johnstone Park when we did that years ago, but it&#8217;s something to explore.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"616562\" data-has-transparency=\"true\" style=\"--dominant-color: #616562;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1227\" height=\"496\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1227px) 100vw, 1227px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dorchester-storage-mockup.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98674 has-transparency\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dorchester-storage-mockup.avif 1227w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dorchester-storage-mockup-600x243.avif 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dorchester-storage-mockup-768x310.avif 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A mockup of the proposed renovation for the apparatus bays in the former Dorchester fire hall, included in Catalyst Consulting&#8217;s presentation to council on August 24, 2026. | Photo: Screenshot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amos also presented council with three options for the former Dorchester fire station &#8211; renovation, demolition, or a hybrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Catalyst Consulting found several deficiencies with the two-storey section, including inadequate exiting, poor accessibility and aging electrical and plumbing systems, while the four-bay apparatus portion is in decent condition and could continue to be used for storage if updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the state of the two-storey portion, full renovation was estimated at around $2.5 million. Demolition alone was around $100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recommended option is to demolish the two-storey portion and renovate the remaining bays for continued use for $386,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Council will vote on both recommendations at the next regular council meeting on Tuesday, September 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those looking to watch the meeting, head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/RbupKuZz9W0?si=nleZG7LC8Pzo6NYg\">Tantramar&#8217;s YouTube page<\/a>.
