The idea, which involves amalgamating the park with two other North Shore parks, has been mooted since the 1990s.
However, a formal proposal by the Kaipātiki Local Board has now been investigated, and rejected, by Auckland Council.
If amalgamated with the neighbouring Kauri Point Centennial Park and Chatswood Reserve, the regional park would have the largest and most diverse coastal habitat in central Auckland’s urban zone.
Local board chairman John Gillon said the park’s upkeep had dipped, falling below the standards of the purchase agreement with Chelsea Sugar, and believed regional park status could see a ranger stationed at the park to advocate for its maintenance.
But on April 7, the majority of the council’s parks, arts, community and events committee voted against the proposal, saying there was not enough evidence to suggest the park’s maintenance would improve with regional park status.

Urgently looking for a cat scratching post for my 2 kittens I am fostering for the SPCA.

They have (hoping we have finally beaten it) gardia and are quarantined in our bathroom so they won't infect our older cats or my children. We are on our second time around with medication and they have been in my relatively small size bathroom for almost 4 weeks.
The new fun is to launch themselves at you as you enter the room or are attempting to use the bathroom and cling to/climb your legs with no regard to whether you are wearing trousers or not.
Unfortunately we are also quarantined at home as my daughter has covid.
If anyone living close by could please/please drop one at my letterbox, don't mind used condition, as long as it doesn't smell, I/we would be hugely grateful.
