Thursday July 27 2023 3 Community input sought again on future of reserve RESIDENTS ARE being asked to share their vision for the future of the Shirley Community Reserve. The reserve on Shirley Rd was previously home to the Shirley Community Centre. Damaged by the February 22, 2011 earthquake, it was demolished in 2012. Pre-quake, the centre had been home to numerous organisations and programmes which enriched the area and helped the community. In place of the centre, the reserve was fitted with recreational facilities, such as a basketball court, playground, pump track and a large green space. Feedback from the community on the reserve’s future was sought in 2020, with 58 submitters split between replacing the old community centre or developing the area into a dynamic open green space. In 2021, the city council approved $3 million funding for the rebuild of the community centre and requested an updated feasibility study. The Waipapa Papanui-Innes- Central Community Board has since made the future of the reserve a key priority in its 2023-2025 plan. Community board chair Emma Norrish said the board is keen to ensure the reserve becomes a place that enhances the community’s well-being, while providing a space for social connection. “Together, we want to develop a meaningful, dynamic and Emma Norrish fun space for everyone, so that the reserve becomes a destination of choice for the community. “The options take into consideration feedback received The options for Shirley Community Reserve are: • A recreation space with a full basketball court, renewed playground, planting, a picnic and BBQ area, a community garden and a walkway. • Creating a community hub that’s open to partnerships with local organisations. • Leaving the space as it is.

PHOTO: NEWSLINE by the Shirley community in 2020, as well as what works well around Ōtautahi Christchurch.” The community is being asked their opinion on three options for the reserve. The community’s views will be included in the updated feasibility study to be presented to community board. All submitters will be contacted closer to that time with the meeting details and information about next steps. • To have your say on the reserve’s future, visit https://letstalk.ccc.govt.nz/ SCR Keeping property ‘depriving others in need’ •From page 1 Said Johnstone: “However, this appears to have occurred too frequently as it’s deprived other patients in need of accessing such equipment or caused delays in their discharge from the hospital. “If we don’t get some of this equipment back, there will be an impact on discharges over the busy winter months. “If anyone has any equipment that’s sitting unused and unneeded in their home or garage, please return it to Christchurch or Burwood hospitals.” The call also applies to secondhand shops, which may have been donated equipment that belongs to Te Whatu Ora. Hospital officials are on the hunt for walking frames, shower stools, toilet frames, bed levers, crutches, pulse oximeters and any other hospital equipment expatients no longer need. People who still have property are asked to return the equipment at specific drop-off locations at Burwood or Christchurch hospitals.
