Mandeville Reserve to become a Car Park

Andrew from Swannanoa - Ohoka

The Oxford-Ohoka Community Board are considering recommending to council that public land be used to support a private venture - and that rate payers pay for it. Just, wow!

7.1 Mandeville Village car parking concern – Grant MacLeod (Greenspace Manager)

The Oxford-Ohoka Community Board are considering recommending to council that public land be used to support a private venture - and that rate payers pay for it. Just, wow!


Excerpt from Agenda for the 16th:

7.1 Mandeville Village car parking concern – Grant MacLeod (Greenspace Manager)

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the Oxford-Ohoka Community Board recommends:

THAT the Council:

(a) Receives report No. 190424059175

(b) Supports a change in Local Purpose classification of the Council owned reserve at 975 Tram Road, from Local Purpose (Plantation) Reserve, to Local Purpose (Community Purposes) Reserve.

(c) Supports staff to prepare a resource consent based on the 50-space car park concept noting that no development can occur for a formalised car park unless a change of purpose and the process for that is completed. The status of the reserve at present does not legally support a formalised car park.

(d) Notes that the proposed change in the type of Local Purpose Reserve requires public consultation and Council approval. Approval by the Minister of Conservation is not required.

(e) Notes that Council’s Property Unit no longer has an interest in the reserve for plantation purposes and supports the proposed change. The current purpose is no longer appropriate given the reserves location, site characteristics and competing options for future use.

(f) Notes that the proposed Community Purposes sub-classification will allow greater flexibility in providing for community needs within the reserve.

(g) Notes that a key driver for a change of reserve purpose is to consider an allowance of a portion of the reserve to be available for formed car park.

(h) Notes that funding would need to be sought from a future Annual Plan or Long Term Plan to support the creation of a car park.

(i) Notes that sufficient open space for community recreation purposes would exist within the reserve should a 50-space car park be installed.

(j) Notes that staff will come back to the Community Board and Council with a report on the feedback and results of the change of purpose process. Staff will also be preparing resource consent for the car park based on the 50-space concept.

Pet owners warned over calicivirus rabbit cull in Christchurch red zone

Calicivirus will be released in the Christchurch red zone to cull the fast-growing wild rabbit population, prompting a warning for pet rabbit owners to vaccinate their animals.

A jump in the number of rabbits counted on the Crown-owned land since last year has led to the pest control measure. Calicivirus K5, a Korean variant of the virus introduced in other parts of New Zealand last year, will be used.

The virus will be released through crushed carrot drops beginning in four weeks' time, starting with uncontaminated carrots so the rabbits get used to them.

Three quarters of Christchurch residents are positive about their central city, but many are put off by begging and anti-social behaviour.

A new city council survey reveals a jump in pride in the central city, but not in the numbers wanting to live there.

About a quarter of those surveyed said they would consider to moving to the central city at some stage, with the biggest proportion preferring to wait until the rebuild is finished.

The main factors for those considering whether to move to the central city were lifestyle factors, the type of housing available, having parking available, finding value-for-money housing in the central city periphery, noise, cost of living, and traffic.
