Kindergarten’s uncertain future
A city council mistake
means that Kidsfirst
will have to resubmit
their resource consent
application to operate
a kindergarten in
McCormacks Bay Rd
• By Annabelle Dick
COMMISSIONER Justine
Ashley declined the
application under the Resource
Management Act as the city
council should have publicly
notified all affected residents
about the application but did
not.
A property on McCormacks
Bay Rd was meant to have
been notified but they weren’t
initially seen as being affected
by the proposed centre.
NOT YET: Resource consent has not been granted for a new
kindergarten on a McCormacks Bay Rd reserve.
The commissioner said the
resource consent was declined
purely due to the notification
process and not on the proposal
itself.
“I appreciate this outcome is
frustrating for the applicant as I
am unable to consider the overall
merits of the proposal. This
decision should not be interpreted
as any indication of my
substantive view on whether
consent should be otherwise
granted,” she said.
Kidsfirst applied for a consent
to operate a kindergarten for
up to 50 children at the McCormacks
Bay Recreation Reserve
next to the community centre.
Kidsfirst chief executive
Sherryll Wilson said they’re
planning to fight the decision
to get their centre back in Mt
Pleasant.
“Kidsfirst is committed
to continuing the process of
gaining the necessary consents
for the establishment of a new
kindergarten on an existing
site,” she said.
The organisation wanted to
introduce a larger kindergarten
after the Mt Pleasant centre was
damaged in the earthquakes.
Kidsfirst has reapplied for
resource consent and a hearing
has been set for October.
DESIGN EXPERTISE WANTED
The Lyttelton-Mt Herbert
Community Board is looking
for design professionals and
community representatives
to volunteer for the Lyttelton
Design Review Panel. The board
wants members to bring their
design expertise and have a good
knowledge and understanding of
Lyttelton’s design and development.
The panel will have an advisory
role and will consider the design of
developments in the area.
CONTAINERS REMOVED
Shipping containers at Moa
Bone Point and Clifton Tce are
disappearing as work is progressing
along quake-damaged sites.
Containers were removed from Moa
Bone Point on Monday and Tuesday
night and a third of the containers
at Clifton Tce will be removed
tonight after they were placed there
to protect road users from rockfall.
Work has been completed at Moa
Bone Point to a stage where the
containers are no longer needed and
progress at Clifton Tce means one
third of the containers could go.
ONE LANE ON EVANS PASS RD
Evans Pass Rd above Sumner is down
to one lane while a retaining wall is
being built. Traffic lights have been
installed to maintain two-way traffic
and work will take until the end of
the year.
