Topic |
Can Te Atatu Pony Club continue to Areas A and B (marked in their lease) as well as Area D? |
Purpose: (Why do you want to speak at a deputation?) |
My understanding is that when Michelle Knudsen spoke to the Local Board on our behalf she asked if we could continue use of Areas A and B until the ground and grass in Area D had settled enough to be used by us for grazing rotation again. And that the Local Board was very supportive of that.
We're very appreciative of Michelle making this request on our behalf but we'd actually hoped for this to be a fall back or secondary position and what we'd hoped the Local Board and Parks would discuss was whether they could support us to continue using Areas A and B (as well as Area D) on a month by month basis until we are in a position to discuss a longer term lease with Council, as per the Harbourview-Orangihina Park Master Plan. We were disappointed when we learned that this had not been discussed, for whatever reason - maybe time pressures, lack of continuity between our meetings (I met with Michelle and Tracey way back in May and perhaps things have got lost with time) or maybe I didn't present our request clearly enough when I spoke with them. |
Background: |
we would like it to be considered because:- - bottom line - the land is really useful to us as it helps us get through the winter by allowing us to rotate the horses across more paddocks, reducing the amount of damage they cause to wet ground and allowing each paddock to have a longer recovery time. - the coastal and shore birds use the paddocks extensively because the grass is longer and they are protected from dogs and humans by the fencing. Last year we had dotterels nesting in Area A and as a pony club we alerted DOC and then worked with them to cordon off their nesting site and protect them from kids and horses until the chicks had hatched and the family was mobile and moved back to the coast - it saves the council from the time and expense of removing all the fencing which we understand you provided as part of the deal to use pony club land for the NZTA works - it saves the council / parks from having to mow and maintain this large expanse of land if we continue to graze it - when the Marae is under construction we know will need to give up grazing to accommodate these activities, just like we did for the motorway construction works - Without the use of some or all of Areas A and B, the final footprint of the Marae, access road, bird viewing platform etc will split the club grounds into two sections and permanently reduce the amount of riding land and grazing (and therefore the sustainability of our membership, reducing the number of kids we can offer this facility to) and when that time comes (and the Council is ready to talk to us about a longer term lease as supported by the Harbourview-Orangihina Master Plan) we would be asking the Council to consider if we can again lease some or all of Areas A and B anyway. Although it is hard to know without surveying, the Harbourview-Orangihina Master Plan indicates that Area B will be used for overflow parking for events on the peninsula (and therefore might be suitable as an ongoing shared resource with the pony club if it remains in grass), and Area A seems to indicate that, in addition to planting around the culvert, it might also still be used by Pony Club. We have some maps to show you which seem to support this. |
Meeting Outcomes: Clearly articulate What do you want from the Board? |
Approval that our new month-by-month lease can include Areas A and B |
