Candidates for Supercity Mayor: Come and hear their vision and their plans for the new Auckland Council.
Birkenhead Primary School Hall
77 Mokoia Rd, Birkenhead
4pm THIS Saturday, September 4th
In association with: Northcote Residents Association and Beachhaven-Birkdale Residents Association.
The Council will not be considering or hearing the application by the Great Chelsea Garden Trust prior to the Supercity change over, due to:
The Great Chelsea Garden Trust has applied to North Shore City Council to lease the land known as Rawene Road Reserve so that they can develop "themed ornamental gardens." Their vision is to create a 'spectacular garden park of international significance'.
A map of the proposed leased area outlined in Red.
The Trust has also approached property owners to gift a portion of their land to the trust in the hopes that they can secure a ‘pathway’ from the Heritage Park at Chelsea (between Huka and Rawene) up to a recently purchased parcel of private land, and then the reserve.
The trust intends creating a number of outdoor room gardens including Japanese, Korean, begonia, herb, Chinese etc that would involve re-contouring much of the Rawene valley - rumored to be with ‘fill’ from the Victoria Park Tunnel Project.
Further ambitions include the installation of a cable car, and a model railway, and seeking permission to have tourists land at Chelsea Sugar Works to wend their way up the hill.
