MANAGEMENT ZONE 6• Retain and enhance riparian corridor

• Provide controlled public access to the

stream and riparian corridor

MANAGEMENT ZONE 7• Remove concrete lined channel and

reinstate ‘naturalised’ stream bed for

water quality and ish habitat and passage

(increasing water depths, substrate

diversity and habitat complexity)

• Explore the opportunity to realign sections

of the stream to original course.

• Implement riparian corridor to improve

ecological connections, shade stream and

for improved amenity

• Use existing stream bridges for Mahi Toi

1. Restore and enhance native riparian

planting & pre-treat water runof into creek

2. Create and extend wetland area to

improve biodiversity and water quality

MANAGEMENT ZONE 8• ‘Naturalise’ creek banks and bed for water

quality and ish habitat and passage

(increasing water depths, substrate

diversity and habitat complexity)

• Retain and enhance existing riparian

corridor

3. Pre-treatment of water run-of from

Improving the ecological integrity of Waititiko

(Meola Creek) presents an opportunity for

Auckland’s water quality and biodiversity.

HABITAT CREATIONThe location of Chamberlain Park provides an opportunity for habitat linkages to the rest of Waititiko, Meola Reef, Western Springs Park, Oakley Creek and Motu Manawa Pollen Island Marine Reserve. Habitat types which can be created and improved include the riparian corridor of Waititiko stream, creation of a wetland habitat and addition of lowland native forest vegetation.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTThere are a number of opportunities to engage the community in the restoration and ongoing management of Waititiko (Meola Creek). These include but may not be limited to:

• Community planting days• On site nursery• Community monitoring and reporting

Cost Estimates for Waititiko / Meola Creek Restoration: $2.7 - $12.2 Million

Low cost estimate includes: Naturalisation of Waititiko / Meola Creek, a constructed wetland and riparian planting for Management Zone 7 and only riparian planting for Management Zones 6 and 8.

High cost estimate includes: Naturalisation of Waititiko / Meola Creek, a constructed wetland and riparian planting for Management Zones 6, 7 and 8.

Cost estimate excludes: Shared paths and bridges and any additional works outlined in the Master Plan.

DISCLAIMER: All costs are estimates only and are made on the basis of the experience and judgement of professional consultants familiar with the construction industry. These costs therefore cannot be guaranteed until more detailed investigations are undertaken.

Improving public access into and through

Chamberlain Park is part of the proposed

baseline design.

A network of shared paths, bush walks and informal recreation areas will help connect the surrounding community with Chamberlain Park .

Two new pathways create new links north to south through the site. One runs along the edge of Waititiko (Meola creek). The second along a ridgeline that runs through the east side of the park. These pathways will link the existing Northwestern Cycleway that runs along the northern edge of the park. A series of new bridges are proposed along the southern edge of the park to connect Parkdale Road, Norgrove Avenue & Norwood Reserve, Burnside Avenue and Rawalpindi Reserve with Chamberlain Park.

The existing bridges across Waititiko are proposed to be given a ‘face-lift’ to better relect the rich history of the site.

A future shared pedestrian and cycle bridge crossing the Northwestern Motorway linking Western Springs is highlighted as a long-term aspiration.

Cost Estimates for Community Access and Connectivity: $1.7 - $4.2 Million

Low cost estimate includes: The two ‘high priority’ bridges and assumes few complications with the implementation of the shared path.

High cost estimate includes: All four bridges crossing Waititiko / Meola Creek and higher quality gateway at Saint Lukes Road. It also assumes that there will be complications with the implementation of the shared path.

Cost estimate excludes: Restoration of Waititiko / Meola Creek and any additional works outlined in the Master Plan.

DISCLAIMER: All costs are estimates only and are made on the basis of the experience and

judgement of professional consultants familiar with the construction industry. These costs

therefore cannot be guaranteed until more detailed investigations are undertaken.

GOLF* - 23.4 HaA diverse golf facility, similar to Scenario 2, but a 9 hole version.• 9 hole golf course with 2 tee options• Existing clubhouse and carpark retained• Meets the handicap rating requirement (at least 9 holes with at

least 2 holes over 229m/250 yards)• Par 34 - 36• 1-2 x par 5; 4-5 x par 4s and 2-3 x par 3s• Course Length between 2500m-2750m• Driving range• Practice area• Dedicated area for beginners area

SPORTS + RECREATION* - 6.7Ha• 2 Multiuse synthetic turf sports ields with changing facilities

& toilets• Aquatic centre• Informal recreation• Carpark with access off St Lukes Road with bioretention

mitigation

COMMUNITY* - 3.8HaThe community area is focused at the area west of the Waititiko (Meola Creek). It is proposed for community use as well as Rawalpindi Reserve and the area north of the Northwestern Motorway.

• Chinese Centre• Existing playground moved from Rawalpindi Reserve to create

more diverse range of play environments.• Nature play / informal play• BBQ areas• Informal recreation area• Community garden• Existing off leash dog area maintained in Rawalpindi Reserve

THE FOLLOWING KEY POLICY PROJECTS WILL INFORM THE FINAL COMPONENTS OF THE REDESIGN OF CHAMBERLAIN PARK.• The Sports Facility Network Plan will identify and prioritise

sports facility needs across Auckland for the next twenty years. This plan will guide decision-making on the type of sports ields and support facilities which could be located at Chamberlain Park. It is expected that this project will be approved by the governing body in April 2016.

• Staff are investigating the provision of pool space in the western corridor to address potential gaps and to account for projected population growth. This will resolve the long-term future of the Mt. Albert Aquatic Centre as well as the need for, and location of, any new aquatic facilities. It is expected that the governing body will approve the long-term pool strategy in July 2016.

• Staff are investigating the long-term council ownership of golf courses across the region and the public/private provision of golf required to support changes in demand. This project will inform the proposed golf service offering for Chamberlain Park. It is expected that the governing body will approve the golf strategy in July 2016.

Costs Estimates for Scenario 4: $8.4 - $13.4 Million

Low cost estimate includes: Playground, BBQ area, multiuse sports ields, a car park, an area for informal recreation, reconiguration of golf course, a ‘low end’ driving range. The low cost also assumes few complications with the implementation of the multiuse sports ields, car park and driving range.

High cost estimate includes: Playground, BBQ area, multiuse sports ields, a car park, a complete redesign and reconiguration of a ‘high end’ golf course and driving range. The high cost also assumes complications with the implementation of the multiuse sports ields, car park and driving range.

Cost estimate excludes: Aquatic Centre, costs for Waititiko / Meola Creek restoration, shared paths and bridges and Chinese Centre.

DISCLAIMER: All costs are estimates only and are made on the basis of the experience and

judgement of professional consultants familiar with the construction industry. These costs

therefore cannot be guaranteed until more detailed investigations are undertaken.

Park to the public. The event will allow the community

to experinace this area of the park and it will allow the

Albert Eden Local Board the opportuntiy to test support for

access into and through the park and for the diversiication of uses.

STAGE 2PUBLIC ACCESS + OPEN SPACE

Create a new public open space in the western end of

Chamberlain Park which is accessed via Sutherland Street

and Rawalpinidi Reserve via a new bridge across Waititiko

/ Meola Creek. The new space will be buffered from the

golf course with new riparian planting along the eastern

edge of Waititiko / Meola Creek and include a range of

community facilities such as a playground and BBQ area.

STAGE 3WAITITIKO / MEOLA CREEK RESTORATION
