Plan to merge golf courses hits rough<br />
•From page 1<br />
“And I can’t see the point in<br />
forcing the community down<br />
a path they don’t want to go,”<br />
he said.<br />
Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board<br />
chairwoman Kim Money<br />
agreed: “Our community<br />
have made it quite clear that<br />
they don’t want it (Rawhiti<br />
golf course) to be used for<br />
residential housing, but that<br />
doesn’t mean there aren’t other<br />
alternatives.”<br />
The survey showed there<br />
was little support for largescale<br />
development. However,<br />
there was some support for<br />
innovative and adaptable<br />
housing.<br />
Said Regenerate<br />
Christchurch chief<br />
executive Ivan Iafeta:<br />
“The proposed landswap<br />
with Avondale<br />
and Rawhiti golf<br />
courses was generally<br />
not supported.<br />
“A number of people<br />
who responded used<br />
this engagement to show their<br />
support for specific projects.<br />
As we collate the feedback,<br />
some common themes are<br />
emerging.’’<br />
Ivan Iafeta<br />
But he would not rule out the<br />
land swap idea as a possibility.<br />
“A range of factors will<br />
be considered in the<br />
decision-making<br />
process, including public<br />
feedback,” said Mr Iafeta.<br />
However, the merger<br />
and switch to Bexley<br />
could be decided by the<br />
golf clubs.<br />
Said Rawhiti vicepresident<br />
Leon Zilinskas:<br />
“We are not committing<br />
ourselves to anything until a<br />
lot further into the process.<br />
Without details there’s no<br />
way we can make a decision<br />
on behalf of our members .<br />
. . from what I am hearing<br />
from the community, it seems<br />
unlikely to happen.”<br />
Avondale president Dave<br />
Buchanan said the club was<br />
divided over the idea, but he<br />
has major concerns about it.<br />
“Our golf course is owned<br />
debt free by the club and we<br />
also have just about completed<br />
the rebuild of our new<br />
clubrooms. Our club would<br />
be foolish to put our asset at<br />
risk, unless the proposal put<br />
forward is a better option than<br />
we already have and, at this<br />
point in time, it is not.”<br />
