1.1 Purpose of Report
To consider a range of names for the new playground at Anderson Park and select a preferred option.
|
A substitute motion was immediately proposed, noting that even if the playground was formally named, it was most likely that the community would continue to refer to it as “Anderson Park Playground”. If in the future an investor wishes to develop the playground further, this motion would retain the option for naming rights to be included in any negotiations. It was noted that it was good to see the range of Māori names proposed by the public and this would be an option that would be interesting to explore for the future, noting that full consultation would be required if this were to occur.
|
|
The Strategy and Infrastructure Committee: a. Consider a selection of names that the community has provided for the new playground at Anderson Park; b. Consider the site visit undertaken with members of the Māori Consultative Committee; and c. Select and adopt a preferred option. d. That a DECISION OF COUNCIL is required urgently due to the opening of the new playground at Anderson Park being scheduled before the next Council meeting.

A correction was noted to the name of the organisation “St John Ambulance”.
