Consultation has concluded
We have prepared a draft Aotea / Great Barrier Village Parks Activation Plan.
This plan relates to local parks in eight of the settlements on Aotea / Great Barrier Island. They are:
Claris
Tryphena
Port Fitzroy
Motairehe
Medlands
Okupu
Okiwi
Whangaparapara.
What we are proposing
We have suggested ways to improve the use of our local parks and to increase your satisfaction with them.
These improvements might involve providing or improving:
park furniture
shelters
solar-powered mobile phone recharging stations
picnic tables
tree swings.
The main priority of this project
The main priority we have proposed is a series of pou whenua (carved Māori posts).
These would be placed in parks across the island to recognise the relationship between Ngāti Rehua Ngātiwai Ki Aotea, their ancestors and Aotea / Great Barrier Island.
Significant proposed actions
Parks and park assets along the Tryphena coast are vulnerable to erosion and coastal inundation. The draft plan recommends making some changes to the parks.
Mulberry Grove
re-route Shoal Bay Road away from the beach/coast and instead run it along the base of the cliff at Mulberry Grove. This will reconnect park land either side of the road and create a more cohesive park space.
Pah Beach
Reconfigure the car park to provide a larger grassed area for play and informal games
Gooseberry Flat
Relocate or decommission playground if continued erosion means it has to be moved
