Changes made as a result of feedback
Your feedback was presented at the Waitemata Local Board workshop in October 2021, where the updated Heard Park concept plan was presented, along with suggested quick improvements that will address immediate issues/concerns within the park.
Work on the quick improvements will commence shortly and a contract has been awarded. Further quick improvements require more involved work.
The updated concept plan presented to the local board is a long-term aspirational plan and included the following changes:
proposed play equipment to be swings and a “playful” art piece
the rear seating area adjacent to the building to be redesigned as seating “bays”.
Quick improvements presented to the local board that can and will be undertaken shortly, include:
hedge removal
re-grassing damaged areas
cleaning existing seats
repair lighting.
uneven paving to be repaired, including lifting pavers and creating garden beds under the trees
Quick improvements that require more involved work, include:
the existing artwork to be cleaned and restored
large trees purchased and located in planter boxes in front of the building at the rear of the site
root barrier measures to ensure the long-term preservation of pathways under the existing trees
installation of a drinking fountain
power options installed for events.
What happens next
The updated concept plan will be formally adopted by the local board. Works will commence on the quick improvements. The consenting process and finding suitable contractors will then begin on the more involved quick improvements.
