Resolution number PAR/2014/70 MOVED by Cr ME Lee, seconded by Cr J Watson: That the Parks, Recreation and Sport Committee: a) note the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board resolutions to recommend to the Governing Body that it classify Lot 1 DP 18501 as a Recreation Reserve under the Reserves Act 1977 and turn the ‘road ends’ along Takapuna Beach into Local Purpose (Esplanade) Reserve under the Local Government Act 1974 (resolution DT/2014/7, DT/2014/8 and DT/2014/9). b) support the classification of Lot 1 DP 18501 as a Recreation Reserve under the Reserves Act 1977 given that it is the only one of ten lots that form part of DP18501 that does not have recreation reserve status. c) ask the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board to fund up to $25,000 towards the cost of the classification of lot 1 DP 18501. d) does not support turning the “road ends” along Takapuna Beach into Local Purpose (Esplanade) Reserve under the Local Government Act 1974 but will reconsider the decision if the future creation of pocket parks or stormwater improvements at the road ends would suggest that a status consistent with the adjacent beach reserve would be more appropriate. |
