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.
