Speaking under public comment, Ms B Hay from the Stokes Valley Community Trust (SVCT) advised that feedback from the community was in support of a full sized basketball court at Speldhurst Park. She stated that the SVCT realised there would be a shortfall in funding from Council. However, they were confident that they could raise the additional funds required through the Northern Community Panel Community Projects Fund, as well as grant applications and fundraising. She was aware that the concept plan and schedule of quantities had been sent to two contractors asking them to submit a quote to construct a full sized court. She advised that the community would be responsible for managing planting on the site. The Community Advisor – Funding and Community Contracts elaborated on the memorandum. Members noted that the Koraunui Marae could no longer accommodate one of the emergency generators agreed to at the June meeting of the Panel. However, the Stokes Valley RSA, 21 Hawthorn Crescent, Stokes Valley, was a possible replacement venue. Cr McDonald agreed to discuss this with the Stokes Valley RSA. |
