SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday July 4 2017 7 News Gym club stumbles over QE II Park build • By Sarla Donovan IT’S BACK to the drawing board for the Christchurch School of Gymnastics after its proposed new building site was rejected by residents. The club has been in its current spot at QE II Park for 21 years, but says the cost of repairing the building is high and it wants to relocate closer to the new QE II Recreation and Sports Centre. However, Dan O’Sullivan, who lives near Ascot Ave, said he and at least 25 nearby residents aren’t happy about the spot that has been chosen, and they’ve made their voices heard in two recent meetings at the proposed site. Coastal-Ward city councillor David East said a “co-operative” discussion was held on Thursday between the CSG, city council staff, Coastal- Burwood Community Board members and residents. As a result, a new consultation document will now be drawn up and delivered to the local community within the next few weeks. It will present several options which may include the original QE II site. Mr O’Sullivan said he was pleased there would be other options put on the table as the current proposal was in the middle of the sports grounds and partially covered one of the rugby fields. “It’s going to be an eyesore, built on a prime position in the middle of the park. That rugby field is well-used. They’ve already covered up a playing field for the schools (Shirley Boys and Avonside Girls’ High).” “It seems like there’s a land grab. We don’t mind the schools, but the gym school, which is a private company, doesn’t need to be there. It’s an ugly, tilt-slab, single-use building, a private facility in the middle of a public park.” “They’re trying to piggy-back on the pool but we can’t see their point (about wanting to be closer to the recreation centre).” The club has said it wants to remain close to the recreation centre “so members could potentially use both facilities in one visit.” Following further public consultation, the community board will make a final recommendation on a site to the city council.
