Naval Point development feedback online

Public feedback on the development options for Naval Point is now online. 

A total of 307 submissions were made during the consultation, which ran during June and July, and full submissions, attachments and a summary of the most often occurring themes are up on the Have Your Say website.

Submissions included a large number of comments about a haul out area needing to be kept or provided for through the development work, retaining the scout den, keeping one finger of the marina for public use, a breakwater being a good idea and the size of the trailer/yacht/boat storage area being too small.

What is the feedback for?

The feedback was the first of two rounds of public consultation to be run on the development of Naval Point. This initial round will help inform a Naval Point Development Plan, which the public will get to comment on through a second feedback round. The goal is to produce a development plan for formal consultation by early to mid 2020.

Staff are taking into consideration all the feedback received during this first phase and continuing with further investigations relating to Naval Point, including where a haul out area could be located for Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour that will provide positive environmental outcomes. They may contact stakeholder groups directly for more information as part of this work.

Staff will present a project briefing, including the first round of consultation results, to Te Pātataka o Rākaihautū/Banks Peninsula Community Board following the elections in October. Five of the eight current Community Board members are not re-standing so the presentation will take place once the new Community Board is in place.
