Section 4: Demand Assessment 4.5.2 Neighbourhood Reserves 4.5.2.1 Reserve Development Sheps’ Park: On the signing of the management agreement between the owner, QEII Trust and the Council, development of this unique reserve has focussed on community organised plantings around the perimeter of the Park. Drainage work on the perimeter of the park has also been undertaken by the Council’s Rivers section to assist in storm water management for the outer area of the Springlands zone. Capital allocation has been forth coming this financial year to allow for the planning and installation of infrastructure within the park. Car parking with access road, public toilets, event power and pathways are all planned for the next two financial years in conjunction with ongoing community plantings in and around the park. All works are being undertaken in accordance with the community developed Reserve Management Plan for the Park. Rutledge Drive: A neighbourhood reserve in this area of Springlands has long been in the desired acquisition of reserve land for equitable provision. It is a perfect 500 m from other reserves within this area of town and will service families in Magnolia, Fuchsia and Colemans Road vicinities. This newly acquired site is still undeveloped. Planning is underway for a playground with surrounding plantings, irrigation and seating for this reserve. Stadium Pocket Park: Reserves section will start maintaining a pocket park newly developed as part of the upgrade of the swimming pool complex. Ongoing upgrade works on turf areas and boundary planting will be required along with normal maintenance of the area. This area should provide a great green space for Stadium/pool users, general public and as an event space that users of the pool or stadium can make use of. Boulevard on Taylor Access Reserve: The Development of the Boulevard on Taylor subdivision has now moved to the western side of Taylor Pass road. The final stages of this development will link sections of the Taylor River. Reserves have identified a need to provide pedestrian and bike access from Taylor Pass Road to the Taylor River via a connection of reserves with each development. From the scheme plan three reserves will need to be acquired to provide the linkage, each reserves section will require funding for pathways as well as individual p la eui ment and seating. The development of this linkage will be funded by development contributions levies from the Boulevard on Taylor Subdivision. Page 57
