Last chance to have your say on long-term future of Maclean Park

Locals have four days left to have their say on the future development of Maclean Park, the formal two-month consultation on the Draft Management Plan closing on Tuesday 3 October.

“We’ve had a great response but we still want to hear from more of you,” says Parks and Recreation Manager Alison Law.

“We’ve prepared a Draft Management Plan for the park, and we want to hear from you to find out if we’ve got it right. Kāpiti has grown up with Maclean Park, and we want to sustain and enhance its character and mana for future generations, with forward thinking and great ideas, to create a contemporary destination park the District can be proud of. So it’s important that we hear from you. There have been a range of opportunities for you to contribute your ideas for Maclean Park throughout the project, and now we’re asking you to provide any further feedback you’ve got now that we have the draft ready.

“If you haven’t had your say yet, it’s not too late. Just make sure you do it before close of business on Tuesday. You can provide feedback on any or all aspects of this Draft Management Plan, including the proposed development plan,” says Ms Law.

If you’d like to put in a submission, you can provide feedback by:

• completing the formal online consultation form at www.kapiticoast.govt.nz/maclean-park-refresh
• completing a hard copy submission form, available from local libraries and Council Service Centres.

Submissions close Tuesday 3 October 2017 at 4pm.

The Maclean Park Development Plan wasn’t identified in the FutureKāpiti Long Term Plan 2015-35. This means that budget will need to be allocated to any recommendations that come out of the review process. Further investigation of costs would happen in the detailed design – the focus of this stage is to find out what our community wants Maclean Park to be in the future.
