Comments
Survey
and planning document for Bayswater Marina development
2. Staff
have been approached by the Bayswater Community Committee (the committee)
regarding a proposal to undertake a survey, and prepare a planning / visioning
document that reflects the community’s views and preferences for the
proposed development at Bayswater Marina (the marina).
3. The
committee advises that a resource consent has been lodged to redevelop the
marina, which includes provision for residential dwellings. The committee
has requested financial support from the local board to undertake a survey to
obtain community views on the proposed redevelopment. In addition, the
survey will seek input on the amenities that the community value, wish to see
maintained or enhanced as part of the development. This will then inform
the development of a planning document that visualizes the community’s
views and preferences.
4. Section
I504 of council’s Unitary Plan guides the activities, objectives and
policies for the Bayswater Marina Precinct, where it states:
· the
primary purpose is to provide for marina, ferry terminal and marine-related
activities, including associated parking and facilities, and for public access,
community uses and marine sports uses, open space and recreation; and
· provision
is also made for residential activities and food and beverage, subject to these
activities being assessed through a resource consent process to assess the
effects of the proposal on the use and function of the precinct.
5. It
is important to note that section I505.5 Notification (2) of the Unitary Plan
states that any application for resource consent for dwellings and / or food
and beverages must be publicly notified. This means that the public
notification process will enable the community to provide their views and
preferences on the proposed marina redevelopment.
6. The
Unitary Plan provisions that guide the Bayswater Marina is detailed in Attachment
A.
7. The
cost of these projects is approximately $5,000 to undertake the survey, and
$6,000 to develop the planning / visioning document. At the time of
reporting, no quote to determine the actual cost had been received. Given
this matter has arisen recently, the committee missed round one of the local
board’s grant programme, and the next funding round is not until early
2018.
8. Staff
support a survey and planning / visioning document being undertaken as it would
be a beneficial mechanism understand the community’s views and
aspirations for the proposed redevelopment of the marina. The survey can
also inform local board input and feedback into the public notification
process. It should be noted that due to current resource constraints,
Local Board Services staff are unable to support the delivery of the survey in
the identified timeframe.
9. Staff
recommend that the board allocate $11,000 from its community grants programme
budget line to the committee, conditional on the following:
· that
the proposed questions are peer-reviewed and supported by council’s Plans
and Places and Communication and Marketing units prior to the survey
commencing, which will ensure the responses guide and inform the local
board’s feedback; and
· that
upon completion of the survey, the results are presented at the local
board’s monthly Community Forum meeting in due course.
