PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday March 13 2018 3 News Pressure builds to add 50m pool • By Sophie Cornish FEARS THAT the new QE II Recreation and Sport Centre will not meet the demands of the community are increasing pressure to add a 50m pool to the facility. The concerns are that the current 25m pool will not cater for the large variety of users, including students from the Shirley Boys’ High and Avonside Girls’ High campus at Linda Stewart QE II Park. “It is never going to be able to service the local community as well as two high schools, local primary schools and sporting groups . . . the former facilities were used by people all over Christchurch, not just the east,” said Christchurch Concerned Citizens Group members Jacqui Herron and Craig MacKay. Said a spokeswoman from the Keep QE II in the East group: “We are concerned not everyone in our community will get a fair opportunity to use it.” Coastal-Burwood Community UPGRADE: There is increasing pressure to add a 50m pool at the QE II Recreation and Sport Centre to meet the needs of the community. Board member Linda Stewart said there would “undoubtedly” be congestion in the new 25m pool. “I would almost bet a lot of money on it,” she said. However, city council manager operations recreation and sports unit, Nigel Cox, said the facility’s placement “provides space to the north and east of the new facility’s pool hall for an expansion. The provision of an expansion zone is common place in facility planning. However, there was no specific expansion in mind that informed this decision.” The $38.6 million pool facility is set to open for Queen’s Birthday weekend. Following a recent site visit, the community board was told by contractor, Apollo Projects, that adding a 50m pool would cost an estimated $15-20 million. Coastal-Burwood Ward city councillor David East said increasing the pool size to 50m, which is the Olympic standard, as well as adding seating and a dive well could cost almost $50 million. The facility’s plans were designed with a “room to grow” concept, said Ms Stewart. Pressure is mounting around the idea, as the city council’s draft Long Term Plan will be finalised in June. Ms Stewart said if the pool is not included in the plan, there will not be the option to include it until 2028. However, Mr Cox said: “The city council provides an opportunity to update the existing LTP through the Annual Plan process that operates yearly,” he said. A 50m competition-sized pool is planned for the $300 million central city Metro Sports Facility, which Greater Christchurch Regeneration Minister Megan Woods brought to a standstill last year following a $75 million budget blowout. Local News Now In Brief Fire rages, homes at risk SCHOOL AND HALL FUTURE The city council and Coastal- Burwood Community Board have successfully requested the Ministry of Education delay its decision on the future of the Central New Brighton School site and Roy Stokes Hall until the end of July. City council staff are now working with the New Brighton Community Hall Trust to form a business plan on the feasibility of owning and managing parts of the school site. PLAYGROUND TO CLOSE The new seaside playground in New Brighton will be closed for about a month from either May or June. It will allow Development Christchurch to make additional improvements to the playground and install artwork. WALK AROUND QE II PARK The Coastal-Burwood Community Board wants the community to have a say on the development of the QE II Park master plan. The board is offering a guided walk around the park on March 25. There will be an update on the new recreation and sports centre, the school campus and the Christchurch School of Gymnastics rebuild. The walk will start at the north end of QE II Park off Ascot Ave, noon-3pm. 25 % off • All vehicle repairs • Oil changes and services • Brakes • Loan car available • Tyres, punctures & batteries • W.O.F • Tune up Discover Christchurch’s best priced pet accommodation • New cat & dog groomer straight from the USA • Daycare - all breeds • Long stay/ short stay Call now to book in your fur baby - inspections welcome anytime!
