Wainui’s rolling hills and rural landscape have inspired the meadow and creek design, top, while agriculture, timber milling and orchards are strong features of the industry and arbour design.
A design concept for the 14ha park in Millwater, which is to be named Butler Stoney Park (formerly known as Metro Park West) is to go before the Hibiscus & Bays Local Board for approval at its February 20 meeting.
Developing the park is a multi-year project for the local board, and selecting a design is a significant step forward.
Two proposed designs were put before the public last September (HM September 5) for feedback.
The board would not provide this paper with any information about the public feedback prior to the local board meeting – not even the number of submissions received or common themes raised by the public.
If the local board approves one of the two concept designs, the next steps are applying for resource consent and developing the detailed design plan. Construction will be staged over several years.
The site is a natural amphitheatre and the park is expected to provide spaces for events, walking and picnics.
