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 on 12 November 2024.
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.
Background and vision
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.
