Walking/cycling tracks linking up to Pegasus Bay walkway and enhancement (eg. sign-posting) to guide along the track to the beaches and stop off points along the way. Existing red-zone trees could be incorporated into the tracks.

The Kaiapoi Commons

Fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, herbs, flowers, veggies - not sprayed by council - free food for everyone. Free planting and foraging by public.

No costly Parks Maintenance by council - only simple tracks or grass, with clubs able to build and maintain tracks, facilities that they fund (BMX, skake, bike). No fences; no gates; no fancy carparks: minimal impact on rates.

Due consideration for remaining residents - landscaping/privacy/access.

Retain boat ramp at Ashkeaton Park and maintain road access to this and ample grass/gravel boat-trailer parking. Nothing fancy needed: just functional.

No commercial enterprises and no private facilities.

Reasonable Mobility Scooter access from town centre to Ashkeaton boat ramp through commons.

Kaiapoi

Develop into a series of reserves - treed with planting to encourage native bird life

Kaiapoi

Hilton street/Raven Quay east of the main road - expand the car park area with short term parking only near the shops, with a second car park further east for all day parking (this could be used by shop staff and bus users)

In the large area on the north side of the river - should only be used for passive use, non commercial such as walking and cycling tracks, as the area is so big most of it should be planted in forest (like bottle lake area) or used as grazing for farmers.
Nearby green zone residents DO NOT want any noise generating activities of any type.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that the land belongs to the Government, so the Government should pay the costs of whatever is done. No ratepayer/council money should be used due to the Government ownership of the land as the Government DOES NOT PAY ANY RATES TO THE COUNCIL!!!!) for any properties its owns anywhere in NZ.

Many of the red zone areas of Kaiapoi are very wet & this should be utilised. In the past there was a lovely lake with goldfish that was a great environment for families & children. Creating a new lake, or allowing wetlands to develop with cycleways & walking tracks would be great.

Pines / Kairaki Beaches

As long standing members and Past President and Secretary of The Pines and Kairaki Beaches Residents Association we have been involved in the dialogue with the Waimakariri District Council and CERA of how we wish to see the area in the future and the PKBA submitted a plan to the Waimakariri Districtrict Council which we as residents endorse.
Please be guided by the Residents plan.
We own our section in the Red Zone and although our home was demolished our family stays there on weekends in our Caravan and Motor Home. We are Life Members of The Waimakariri Sailing club, participate in boating,whitebaiting,salmon fishing , beach walking swimming and cycling.. In the long term we intend to rebuild.
Thank You

All be planted in native bush with walkways and mountain bike tracks

I would like to see the red zone (where I lived) along Courtney Drive to be put into flower and scrub gardens. But whatever you do please do not build anything on this land.

Ideas from 11 August Community Workshop:

* Lake in flooding areas, feeds into river
* Don’t worry about high fences around the grassed areas - as per Courtenay
* Use local people and groups to get involved in the remediative work
* Urbanisation spread
* Better transport options
* More employment
* Recreational activities in red zones - place of destination
* Live, work, play where we live
* Commercial options
* Anything done in red zone is temporary measure as we feel in 15 years the land will be remediated and built on

Kaiapoi

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.

Pines / Kairaki Beaches

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.

Kaiapoi

- More parking
- Rail to central Chch
- Link to university
- Better transport links
- Better Orbiter or similar service
- Health areas for elderly, improved access as we are an aging population
- Bus service: Rangiora to Oxford

Kaiapoi

A fantastic network of walking and cycling tracks for all ages and physical abilities within an area of native trees, bush and food producing trees that are available for foraging. These areas and tracks connect with the Kaiapoi riverbank, along to the Pines Kairaki tracks

In the area from Beswick St east I would like to see a large public recreational area made up of trees, plants and a lake close to the river. Within this area there needs to some access roading but plenty of cycle ways, walkways and picnic areas. Also included a Motor camp, Boat ramp, BMX track & play area.

For the areas closer to the centre of Kaiapoi ie; Charles, Sewell, Cass between the now red zone cut off area & Beswick St I feel these area should be allocated for pensioner / retirement village development (with of course foundations to suit ) This is due to these areas being close to the town centre & the above.

The currant red zone area in Courtney Dr should be redeveloped back to low density housing with the land repaired & suitable foundations.

The Red zone bound by Raven, Hilton, Bowler perhaps half commercial and the rest parking.

The Red zone bound by Black, Hilton, Raven, Rich, kept aside for school parking or future school development.

A mini "The Groynes" with canoes/kayaks etc. A mini golf course with a fun theme, like "Pirates cove mini golf course."

Barbeque and picnic areas maybe by the river, or in the above suggested "mini groynes" type space.

Cool childrens fantasy playgrounds, with safe environments... (that don't have unsavory characters loitering).
Like a sandpit, tyre swing, (big tyre laying flat to sit in). little obstacle course etc. Something that kids could only enjoy in playgrounds.
