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.

What would you like to see happening on this land? What do I want this land to reflect? Community. Fix the land, and the pipes (that haven't been touched since the earthquake) so the streets stop flooding, so that we can bring people and houses back to the Kaiapoi area.

As the world of paid employment becomes ever less rewarding for the majority in our region more space will be required to provide the opportinyty for rewarding recreation. The Kaiapoi space should be configured to enable the following future uses:-
Native plant reserve, propogation area.
Community gardens, neighbourhood allotments, fruit and nut tree orchards.
Motor home/caravan parking in conjunction with the NZMCA. Also allow short term stay for overseas tourists in selfcontained vehicles.
Outdoor performance area.
Farmers market and food fare venue.

I'd like to see the food forest idea expanded into a heritage 'botanic' gardens specialising in edible and domestic plants pioneers and Maori used for eg. medicine, craft, textiles, dyeing, pest control. The stock could then become a NZ seed bank repository for colder climate native and exotic heritage. The seeds/cuttings could be sold for revenue to help cover WDC maintenance expenses for the red zone or lease the rights to do so. Produce from the plants would be available to the public and community support services just as produce from the food forest would. Historical research would be required. The gardens would then also become a tourist and educational destination. Lincoln Uni or UC may be interested in assisting. Some maintenance would be required but should be able to be incorporated into existing WDC depts.. This idea could be combined with sculpture park, bike trails etc. From preliminary research nothing else like this currently exists in Sth Island.
