The Oraka Aparima Community Board is seeking feedback from residents and visitors to Riverton Aparima about their thoughts on the area, its green spaces and places.
Riverton Aparima is experiencing growth and the board needs to understand how it can grow, while enhancing its existing open spaces and connecting these with the streets and pedestrian and cycle accessways in a safe and attractive way.
The community board would like to hear from people about what they consider are the community values so it can help to inform future projects and considerations within the Long Term Plan.
The focus of the survey is on parks, reserves, sports fields, trails, streets and the commercial vitality of Riverton’s main street.
Council’s open spaces graduate planner Bridget Elliott said: “Early insights from interviews out in the community have highlighted that Riverton Aparima has an abundance of valued open spaces and we need to assess how these places are connected and accessed as well as looking at the area in a broader sense”.
An online survey is available at www.makeitstick.nz/riverton/
Hard copies of the survey and dropoff boxes are located at Te Hikoi Museum, Taramea Store, Riverton Supervalue and the Riverton Senior Citizens.
Feedback from the survey will feed into future planning for the area and the reserve management plans for Taramea Bay.
Submissions close at 5pm on 26 April 2022.
