Revocation of Reservation
Birch Place Reserve and Riverlands Reserve Pursuant to Section 24 (2) (B) Reserves Act 1977 Proposal to revoke the Recreation Reserve status presently recorded in respect of Birch Place Reserve located at 9 Birch Place, Aramoho, and Riverlands Reserve located at 357 Somme Parade, Aramoho. Birch Place Reserve The reason for the revocation proposal is that the reserve is not fulfilling its purpose as a recreation reserve and is surplus to reserve requirements. The reserve is an area of green open space between Birch Place and Churton School which has been grazed since acquisition in 1978. It has never been developed for recreation purposes as adequate alternative developed recreation areas are provided at Te Mana Park and the playground at the northern end of the Aramoho Holiday Park. Riverlands Reserve The reserve has some local amenity value but active public use is limited by its small size and lack of facilities. Alternative public open space and amenity area is provided by the playground located at the northern end of the Aramoho Top Ten Holiday Park. The reason for the revocation proposal is that public use of this reserve is limited and is not fulfilling its purpose as a recreation reserve and is surplus to reserve requirements. The land comprised in Birch Place Reserve and Riverlands Reserve will be sold. The proceeds derived from sale will be directed according to the provisions of the Reserves Act 1977 which provide that proceeds be applied in the purchase, management, maintenance, improvement or development of other reserves. A copy of Deposited Plan 48286 and aerial photographs detailing Lot 78 DP 48286 (Birch Place Reserve) and Deposited Plan 43235 and aerial photographs detailing Lot 17 DP 43235 (Riverlands Reserve) are now available for public inspection at Customer Services, Ground Floor Reception at the Wanganui District Council offices, corner Guyton and St Hill Streets, Wanganui between 9.00am and 4.30pm, Monday to Friday. Any objections to the proposal must be lodged in writing detailing those objections and the grounds thereof with the Chief Executive, Wanganui District Council, PO Box 637,Wanganui, by 23 May 2008. This is the first publication of this notice. This is a public notice in terms of Section 342 Local Government Act 1974. |
