Park land - turn it into green belts and natural habitats. Areas where people can go and relax. Turn red into green - why build on everything?

Kaiapoi North East - it should be a park NOT residential. The native plants should be kept and fruit trees. The BMX track, childrens playground, miniature "Hagley Park" and revert the ground back into swamp with a track winding its way through.

East Kaiapoi / Kairaki
I would like to see the existing specimen trees retained and the whole area planted in New Zealand Native Forest trees and plantings with picnic areas, walkways, and cycle ways etc, similar to that of Bottle Lake Forest.
There may come a time when the Bottle Lake Pine Plantation will be harvested and a "New Kaiapoi Native Forest" could provide for the activities currently being carried out there.
Advantages I see include;
- Reduced maintenance and therefore less tax burden on ratepayers.
- An opportunity to reintroduce native birds such as Bell Birds and Tui.
- An additional attraction for the Kairaki Motor Camp.
- An opportunity to include wet lands and breading grounds for wading birds and migratory fish (whitebait etc.).
- An opportunity to return the area to the native forest and wetland it once was.

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.

1. Offer land back to original owners at 2008 RV land value plus holding costs and remedial works.
2. Compensate original owners who do not wish to buy back at Market Value less 2008 RV Land Value and holding costs and/or remedial costs since pay out.
3. If option 1 not taken up sell orginal or resurveryed lots with remediated work as necessary
Note: remedial work is not to include normal roadworks or utilities maintenance
4. Once you have gone through processes 1 - 3, then you may canvas the public on the use of previously privately owned land and worry about what is happening 15 years into the future.
