I would like to see a marina created into the Cass street area with a possible double lock system eventually as in Hull, UK for tidal access into the river and to maintain the water around the boats all day long . Then we could have not only boats capable of crusing the river, but also then possibly some houseboats , floating cafe. etc. Surrouned by cafes and art sculptures to create a catalyst and a mecca for people to want to stop and have a walk round.
I understand people are touch about building around water now , but living on it is a different concept. Seattle has some stunning houseboats as does Amsterdam and both attract tourism etc.
The river needs some floating pontoons along the river where people can board boats/kayaks from and fish from too.
The current boat access at Cass street is poor and constantly floods at high tide now and with a little care would service the community whilst some of the more grander projects get underway.

Develop an area in the Kaiapoi Red Zone that could be used for a jet sprint course. The development would include:
-A shallow hollow covering 1ha of land, that could retain water (0.5m in depth when filled )
-The ability to fill and drain water from the hollow
-Embankments surrounding the hollow to act as grandstand/seating
-Car parking and vehicle access in close vicinity
The course could be used for:
- multi-use; and act as an outdoor theatre/amphitheatre, mountain bike course, storm water pond etc
-Filled with water for a jet sprint course at various times in the year (but only for one or two days at a time, as necessary for the event)
Jet Sprint course option
-At various times of the year jet sprints could be held at the course, including the NZ circuit races, World Champs, and fundraising events to support local charities (eg: St Johns)
-Peter Caughey is a the World Jet Sprint title holder, and is a Waimakariri resident, and would support the course

I don't want to see building consents issued for this land. I'd like it to be parklands - a mix of parks, playgrounds, walking tracks. Canterbury needs more green spaces to make up for high rate of housing.

In the Courteney Area I would like native shrubs and trees planted to form an area such as Deans Bush.
No rebuilding on red zoned land

Firstly, plant in pine trees for fast growth and trim lower branches. Then under plant with native varieties and later cull the pines. This could become a lovely restful area and also afford shelter from east winds.

Kaiapoi

Large park with toilets, facilities, swings etc
Dog park (eg like Groynes) - with water - river for dogs only
Bike/dirt track
Golf course, shift existing course and use Kaiapoi Golf course for building houses

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.

Some ideas from 13 August Community Workshop:

* Beautiful river banks
* Dredge out trees
* Kayak club area and canoe - dragon boating - man-powered craft
* Make more of river- fishing
* Fitness track
* Food forest - sculpture parks , picnicing on the river
* Info boards, history of Kaiapoi
* Access to river restricted by stop bank, move stop bank back to allow easy access
* Access to river by powered boats away from town centre
* Marina - Kaiapoi - Marina - easy access to river for man-powered boats will encourage visitors to a place to go to
* Current cycle track too rough
