Canvas
The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) led a public engagement process called Canvas from July to September 2014. Over 300 people provided their ideas and comments during Canvas for the future use of the red zone land in Kaiapoi, Pines Beach and Kairaki. You can read more in the Canvas Summary Report (released in December 2014).

More activities for youth and families to enjoy for affordable prices.

I want something for the elderly - somewhere they can go to be part of the community and where their stories can be heard and valued.

- I would like to see Courtenay Drive re-aligned closer to, but not directly abutting, the green zone housing. Having a major link road in the middle of a red zone only encourages hoon type activities and inhibits what could be done with a freed up larger land area.
- Courtenay Drive - No heavy trucks permitted to use it as a through road.
- Dog park.
- Tennis courts.
- BMX track.
- Skate park.
- Park with paths (walking/cycle), seating, picnic tables, shelter trees etc in the area between Hilton St/Courtenay Drive and the Kaiapoi River.
- I would like to see Kaiapoi reflect more of it's "River Town" heritage.
- Pathways/cycleways along the riverside stopbanks.
- Let's foster kayaking, rowing, fishing etc, establish a marina on the north bank of the Kaiapoi.
- Provision for more off-street parking closer to the shops in Williams St.
Kaiapoi
More cafes for weekend visitors
Fish boating etc.

Ideas from 13 August Community Workshop:
* Amphitheatre/ events venue "big"
* Sculpture parks
* Fitness trail
* Be sure to consider access to the river for fishing spots eg Maori Dam
* Keep the boat ramp at Askeaton where it is now!
Kaiapoi
Remove Kaiapoi Golf Club and relocate it on Red Zone land. Turn Kaiapoi existing golf course into residential land.
Why destroy what we already have. How about we remediate the some of the land and create a new subdivision and bring people back into Kaiapoi.

I would love to see the Charles St road taken out from Jones St and this area grassed over. It could have a lovely picnic area with gas bbq's? tables etc, a playground for kids, and an awesome dog park like the Groynes in the area between Charles St and Sewell St (I would put my hand up to do working bees to do this). I know people would travel to use the dog park, as myself and many people I know travel into CHCH. This would also bring business, if more places like the Rivertown Cafe welcomed dogs outside. :)
Also I would love to see the walkway/cycleway on the stop bank reinstated, it was awesome, and you could use it in all weather. I think the riverbank area should be used for recreation; I'd hate to see it taken over with buildings or vehicles.
The area where the old BMX track would make a great wildlife area.
& I think a food forest would be excellent for the community.
Kaiapoi
I would like to see a shelter or houses at a reasonable cost because of all the people who have lost their houses because of the earthquakes. I really think that would be good for our people and our community.
Good idea. Will help to build a community spirit.
Kaiapoi
Coordinated integrated rail and road transport - not just more motorways
Yes clip on bridge and cycle ways too. Train would be good. Hard to convince others

Kaiapoi
- High performance equestrian sports centre
- Leverage off high performance sports medicine cluster in city
- Leverage off lifestylers in hinterland
- Links to horse trail ideas but creates a national sports focus.
- Also support some sort of BMX part as well
Kaiapoi
People going back to their own homes the way they were befire the earthquakes and new parts, possibly pool with hydroslide.
Kaiapoi
Rec area with walking mountain biking and horse riding tracks so it all links up with Woodend and Pegasus etc.
Kaiapoi
-Bring back market gardens
-Edible forest
-Recreational areas
-Community hubs- halls/sports areas
-Nice big holiday park
Kaiapoi
A mini Lake Serpentine confined to boating, punting and canoeing. Also a swathe of trees with a Woodland Walk free of nuisance dogs.
Kaiapoi
Ideas from 11 August Community Workshop
* Create an area that welcomes people to the area
* Low mountain fields to encourage families i.e. model race track
* Petanque, a driving range, mini golf
* Most amazing playground for children
* Under 10year old bike tracks, these mini bike tracks link to Pegasus walkway
* Plenty of parking
* Seating areas
* Gas BBQ area
* Dog park with agility set up
* Make Kaiapoi women friendly/safe
* Create business hub that is supportive which would be a feeder for the business community
* Create planter hanging baskets in Williams St so people want to drive off the motorway
* Must be family friendly
* Younger children haven
* Create the day out Kaiapoi - a destination for families
* Road humps to stop boy racers
* Acknowledge the past, make information points in areas about environmental and heritage
Don’t want a four wheel drive track
Don’t want another team sports field as there are enough already
Agree no sports fields or 4 wheel drive tracks!! We live on the edge of the red zone and we want it to be a peaceful place not a madhouse!
Kaiapoi
Parks, walkways, childrens playground, native trees that attract birds, bell birds, tuis etc. picnic tables, dog park, vegetable gardens tended by the locals.
Kaiapoi
A fantastic camping ground and activity centre, cafes etc. family friendly, portable stuff in case of another earthquake.
No dairy farms please!!!
