Ideas for the North East red zoned areas:
- Garden areas and native bush areas to provide colour and texture
- Picnic and seating areas by the river
- Spaces where people can walk, with some seating as well
- Biking area
- Playground/recreation areas
- Areas where you can continue to freely walk your dog
Thanks for the opportunity to give our feedback.

We would love the land to be used for parks, dog parks, picnic areas, playgrounds, such as The Groynes.

Plant Manuka introduce bees and produce honey to sell and firewood to sell = money for community which is ongoing sustainable farm. The unemployed could 'work for dole' these.
Pines / Kairaki Beaches
The Cancer Society would like to see that ecosystems are not only healthy, but provide enhanced areas of safety from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This could be achieved by a planned approach to shade development that would include planting of appropriate species of trees that provide shade, particularly in areas where people congregate and play. For example, children's playgrounds, parks and reserves.
Having lived at Kairaki for 40 plus years, I would like to see residential housing back again. It was a unique part of the township where one could come home from the hustle and bustle of town and relax. One could walk the beach in the early mornings or evenings, fish for salmon, set nets, whitebait, go boating, water ski, sailing. All on our doorstep, an illdyllic lifestyle. The children never got into mischief as there was too much else for them to do. Kairaki - food source.

A new combined sporting complex that caters for athletics, cycling and BMX. none of which are currently provided in the district We don't have an all weather athletics track, a cycle track or a international quality B.M.X. track. We have world class athletes in our district who performed at the recent commonwealth games who had to go out of the district to train and compete. Facilities for these three sports could be combined into one top world class venue attracting national overseas events

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I like all the comments, but we must get it right first time

I think Kairaki/Pines Beach should be absorbed into the forest and perhaps have mountain bike/walking track extended through it.
In Kaiapoi it should be a park/recreation area.

Landscape and make into a recreational park similar to Hagley Park. 10 rugby fields, hockey, golf, tennis, bowls etc.
Sell the existing golf club to develop roads housing etc to finance the venture.
Plant in native trees and parklands.
The sports park will bring 100s to Kaiapoi.

BMX Park

Native species planted in areas that are suitable for day or wet areas as is appropriate for good growth. Walkways and picnic areas created amongst these plantings.

Open park with fruit trees, maybe some vege allotments. A BMX track, skateboard area. Lots of winding paths around the area for walking, picnic tables under shady trees. Maybe a embankment and area to do outdoor film viewing/concerts. A nice big adventure playground ranging from small children to teenagers. Somewhere we can go to remember what was there, and reflect on what has happened to us all, somewhere positive to look to a good community future that everyone can enjoy.

To do with family and children, sport, forest area, horse treks etc
Kaiapoi
Parkland reserve for recreational use

Cultural significant buildings finished and back in full glory, rest of the land a garden with cafe for locals and tourists.
Good ideas. Garden areas and native bush areas are a good point. They complement one another well and cater to different tastes. I also like the picnic and seating areas as much of the red zone was beautiful and will be again with some attention. The Fairbairns' park on New Brighton Road is a good example of this.
