Trees for Rawhiti Domain<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

THIRTY-FIVE trees will be<br />

planted at Rawhiti Domain.<br />

The city council is planning<br />

to put them in along the Keyes<br />

Rd entrance to the domain<br />

after seven mature pine trees<br />

were removed<br />

earlier this<br />

year because<br />

of safety<br />

concerns.<br />

The Coastal-<br />

Burwood<br />

Community<br />

Tim Baker<br />

Board<br />

approved<br />

for 35 trees with five different<br />

species to be planted at the<br />

domain at its meeting last week.<br />

The winter and spring flowering<br />

cherries, walnut trees,<br />

almond and totaras will be<br />

planted this month.<br />

The city council began public<br />

consultation on the plans in<br />

July after the community board<br />

requested a landscape plan<br />

be developed to improve the<br />

domain.<br />

Community board member<br />

Tim Baker said the tree planting<br />

is “brilliant news.” He is hoping<br />

the community is happy with<br />

the decision.<br />

More than 70 residents submitted<br />

on the plans.<br />

Submitters had previously<br />

raised concerns over the lack<br />

of long-term planning in the<br />

park.<br />

The city council’s current<br />

Long Term Plan <strong>2018</strong> /2028 plans<br />

to allocate $10,000 to enhance<br />

entrances in the Rawhiti Domain.<br />

Tree stumps left behind when<br />

the pine trees were removed<br />

at the Keyes Rd entrance are<br />

now being used as a trial nature<br />

space.<br />

Community group, The<br />

Guardians of Rawhiti Domain,<br />

is planning to transform woodland,<br />

located off Keyes Rd, into a<br />

“natural play space.”<br />

Last month students from<br />

Rawhiti School, Shirley Primary<br />

School, South Brighton Playcentre<br />

and residents gathered for<br />

a native planting and unveiled<br />

a sign for a temporary nature<br />

playspace at the domain.<br />

INNOVATIVE:<br />

Children have<br />

been using the<br />

felled trees at<br />

Rawhiti Domain<br />

as a natural<br />

play space.<br />

The guardians will<br />

maintain the remaining logs<br />

and stumps for one year<br />

while they consult with the<br />

community on a more long-term<br />

nature play area.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Board<br />

moves to<br />

protect<br />

landmarks<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

INQUIRIES HAVE been made<br />

into the heritage status of the<br />

New Brighton Clock Tower and<br />

War Memorial to ensure its<br />

protection in the future.<br />

The Coastal -Burwood Community<br />

Board asked city council<br />

staff to report back on the status<br />

of both landmarks to assure it<br />

would not be at risk of being<br />

removed. Chairwoman Kim<br />

Money said the area doesn’t have<br />

a lot of heritage and it was important<br />

to give the clock tower<br />

and cenotaph a significant status<br />

so they can’t be altered.<br />

City council staff reported at<br />

the board’s meeting last week<br />

the clock tower, opened in 1935,<br />

is listed as a heritage place in<br />

the District Plan. While the war<br />

memorial unveiled in 1925 is not<br />

listed in the plan, it is considered<br />

to be significant for its social history<br />

and is a local landmark.<br />

The city council is currently<br />

investigating the possibility of<br />

illuminating the clock tower.<br />
