Education Land in Piha

Acquisition of public open space – Piha

AC’s Parks, Recreation & Sports Committee meet this Wednesday July 20th and will decide whether to purchase the ‘Education Land’ in Piha behind the Art Gallery.

There are three ‘groups’ in Piha interested in using the land

1. The West Coast Art Gallery – use of the building for artists etc
2. Piha CoastCare – access to council land next to this for informal ‘walkway’ and passive recreation.
3. Piha Kids Charitable Trust – kids skateboard facilities.  [The Chair of WRLB has not publicly supported this however and it’s highly unlikely a skateboard bowl or facility will be accommodated here.  Ed]

Don’t bother going in to the meeting to listen  as the public are excluded as usual with acquisitions.

However as a member of our Local Board “Sandra Coney, Waitakere Ranges Local Board chair will speak at the Confidential Item 1.”
