A strong and united community voice has opened the door for developing new facilities at Naenae’s Walter Mildenhall Park.
A reclassification proposal for the park which would have allowed building housing on the reserve will not proceed.
This issue has a history dating back to 2008 when housing on the Park was included in the North East community plan.
We have received the message loud and clear that the community wishes Walter Mildenhall Park to be preserved as a recreational hub serving community needs.
There has already been considerable activity in the area with the establishment of the Naenae computer club and the recently opened recreational area for young people Now there is the possibility of regional bowling centre with potential multiple community uses.
Chair Cr Ross Jamieson did a good job in guiding the committee. Submissions were very convincing and presented with passion in support of retaining the original purpose for Walter Mildenhall Park.
A good council listens and we have listened to the wishes of the community.
