Next steps

The Parks team are currently collating and reviewing the feedback received, including 67 online survey responses, and will provide a summary of findings towards the end of October.

This feedback will then be factored into the development plan and presented to the Community & Services Committee for adoption in the new year.


Background and vision

We recently asked for community feedback on a draft development plan for Jardine Park, a large public recreation reserve located in Kelvin Heights on the shores of Lake Whakatipu. The plan shows the long-term layout which aims to build on existing uses and help meet the future needs of residents and visitors.

Jardine Park is a popular open space with varied topography characterised by low rolling hills next to Lake Wakatipu and neighbouring residential properties. It’s a popular reserve with many opportunities for recreational users who enjoy passive or active outdoor activities.

The park currently offers a range of facilities including croquet greens, a club house and toilets, tennis courts, an informal gravel car park, a playground and flying fox, informal rugby/soccer pitch, disc golf course, walking and mountain bike trails, a community orchard and the Jean Malpas Community Nursery.

The long-term vision for Jardine Park is to create a community space providing a variety of recreation opportunities for residents and visitors.

The draft development plan details the proposed activity use for Jardine Park which focuses on creating a community space that has a range of passive and active recreation facilities for people of all ages and abilities, increasing biodiversity with restoration planting, protecting open space and improving parking and access.

    Where will I now walk my dog if this goes ahead?

    James Kirk asked 3 months ago

    Hi James, just to let you know there are no changes to rules around dog walking in the plan. If you'd like to find out more about where you can walk your dog in the district, take a look at an interactive map here: Animal Control - QLDC   

    The plan does propose some new pathway links within the site and specifies areas of open space for passive recreation and dog walking.

    Take a look on page 8 in the draft plan and feel free to share any feedback through the online survey.
