b)
offers
the following additional feedback on the proposed plan change:
i) note
our strong support for rezoning of residential land at Taniwha Street to Open
Space - Informal Recreation, as this will enable us to achieve better outcomes
for Maybury Reserve;
ii) notes
that the proposal for land exchanges at Taniwha Reserve will enable a greenways
link path to be implemented and increase safety by providing better
surveillance into this park;
iii) notes
that whilst the local board undertook in our Local Board Plan 2017 to champion
the retention of our parks and other open spaces in all areas with new
developments, there is no available budgets for acquisition of land and therefore
land exchanges offer us an opportunity to realize better utilization and
outcomes for our existing reserves;
iv) notes
that land at Boundary Reserve proposed to be exchanged is a small part of
this reserve and is currently underutilized. The loss of the section proposed
can be mitigated. Development provides passive surveillance into this park
which improves perceptions of safety about the park in general
as well as the proposed future greenways path that will go through this
reserve;
v) notes
that Tamaki Regeneration Company expects equivalent land to be exchanged
and we invite them to discuss options for addressing the shortfall
in this proposal before any further land exchanges/plan changes are
lodged;
vi) notes
that this process will include public consultation and requests officers to
prepare and execute a communication and engagement plan to ensure our
community is made fully aware of the consultation opportunity and encourage
them to have their say.
