6 Thursday May 4 2023 Discover New Brighton New Brighton Masterplan Update City Councillor Celeste Donovan has received a lot of feedback for council to support the redevelopment of the shopping mall as part of the New Brighton Masterplan. “I’ve asked council to bring forward $300k of funding as part of this year’s Annual Plan to get started on designs to upgrade the pedestrian and public spaces, linking with the $2.3 million ‘Village Green’ Greater New Brighton proposal. The ‘Village Green’ concept will turn 1000m₂ of vacant land behind Marine Parade’s Pier side building into a place where people can gather, with a stage for music, a stall for events and other activities including the market. It aims to draw beach and hot pools visitors into the commercial hub area. Working with private landlords and retailers is a key step towards establishing this redeveloped space as an activity centre for the eastern suburbs.” Councillor Donovan says. Donovan states that the current vacant and derelict land contributing to negative perceptions and holding back development in the New Brighton Mall has prompted her to ask Council to consider extending a new rating scheme to the New Brighton pedestrian mall. This rating scheme currently trialled in the central city, charges higher rates on landowners within the retail space making no attempt to develop, improve or maintain vacant and derelict sites. Another Coastal priority is getting progress on the replacement of Pages Road Bridge, Southshore and South New Brighton Estuary Edge, as well as long overdue repairs to roads, footpaths, and basic infrastructure. Councillor Donovan says the completion of other stormwater and flood protection works, including the Waitaki stormwater basin and flood management area beside Anzac Drive and Pages Road, will also be an important step forward. She says: “Although the submission period has now closed for the Annual Plan, it’s really important that people continue to make contact with me or Coastal Community Board representatives to have their say on the issues that matter to them”.
