Tenders for Taipo Stream at Park Island, Realignment & Enhancement

 

Mr Laddie Kuta outlined the project to realign and enhance the Taipo Stream. Discussion covered:

·         Make or break, or point of difference, for tenders was the price per cubic metre for the earthmoving portion of the contract

·         Silverhills Trustees Ltd contribution of $100k is an ‘opportunity’ contribution to offset costs of providing stormwater management on site at the subdivision they are developing, and this contribution must be ‘accounted’ for within legal requirements as HBRC doesn’t collect ‘development contributions’

·         Additional land made available through the development will possibly be used for additional hockey pitches, as per NCC LTP, however final decision on what the land is used for will be determined through the ‘regional facilities plan’ process.

·         Once all costs paid, any savings from the budget will be ‘transferred’ to other enhancement and planting projects within the Taipo catchment.
