'Heritage Park' proposed for valley The wider Heathcote community has helped to shape the concept for an exciting new Heritage Park in the Heathcote Valley. Workshops and discussions have been held with local residents about the future for the area of land on the valley floor next to the Heathcote River. Public land in the valley now totals 93 hectares, including Ferrymead Historic Park. There are proposals to restore habitat for wildlife, create public areas for enjoyment, and provide features to attract tourists. Recent developments include:
A colour concept plan of the park, providing more details, is available from Christchurch City Council — Civic Offices and Linwood Service Centre. The public is invited to participate in the current consultation and planning phase of the heritage park. As further plans are developed, updates will be provided and further input sought. Please provide comments or suggestions, and contact us with your questions about the proposed concept, before 28 February 2002.
