4. Presentation of Petitions / Ngā Pākikitanga
Joanne Hayes MP, presented a petition of 803 signatures to the Council. The Prayer of the Petition states:
We, call on the Christchurch City Council to urgently prioritise the extension of Oram Ave and the redevelopment of New Brighton Business Mall in their 2020/2021 Annual Plan.
With construction of the new saltwater hot pools underway and a completed playground, it is now time for council and councillors to make New Brighton Mall a priority. Anchor projects alone cannot be the only council initiatives to improve patronage of the mall and encourage investment.
The 2015 New Brighton Master Plan provided results of public consultation on the strengths and weaknesses of the New Brighton mall. Top of the list of perceived weaknesses was; “The size, function and viability of the commercial center and its appeal to developers and investors.”
We ask that the City Council act on this petition making it a priority for all residents of New Brighton and surrounding suburbs. |
|
Council Resolved CNCL/2019/00195 That the Council: 1. Receive the petition and refer it to the 2020/21 Annual Plan process. |
