Park

Recommendation

Cost Estimate

(physical works only)

1.    Kirks Bush Reserve

·   Rationalising the number of entrances.

·   Relocate public assets in the grass area.

·   Upgrading tracks to kauri safe standards.

·   Fencing the periphery of Butterworth House to isolate infected kauri.

·   Installing hygiene stations.

·   Investigate a boardwalk as part of the mitigation programme.

$ 108,000

Low Risk tracks/parks

2.     Central Park Reserve

Mulch around kauri trees to prevent access and protect roots.

$2,000

3.    Massey Park- Papakura

Mulch around lone kauri to prevent access and protect roots.

$1,000

4.    Ray Small Park

No mitigation required as topography and location makes it difficult to access.

$0

5.    Butterworth Block

No mitigation required as there are no formed tracks within this reserve. Ongoing monitoring of the kauri will continue.

$0

6.    Jack Farrell Park

Mulch around the kauri trees on open space to prevent access and protect roots.

$2,000

b)        request the Papakura Local Board Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson to advocate to the Chair of the Environment and Community Committee and His Worship the Mayor of Auckland, to seek further allocation of capital funding from the natural environment targeted rate towards the boardwalks in Kirks Bush, as the board believe the only long term solution to protect the kauri in Kirks Bush is to have raised boardwalks as part of the essential works.
