4. PETITIONS - JOY STREET/GOLF LINKS ROAD
Carole Evans presented a petition, received from Maureen Gerdes on behalf of 136 petitioners with regards to the urgent completion of traffic calming measures in Joy Street and Golf Links Road.
The prayer of the petition read as follows:
"We the undersigned support urgent action to the placing of traffic restraints in Joy Streets and Golf Links Road."
In a letter accompanying the petition Mrs Gerdes wrote:
"In reply to my letter requesting information on traffic restraints in Golf Links Road and Joy Street, Shirley.
Lorraine Wilmshurst (Assistant Traffic Engineer) has replied in a letter dated 2 September 1996 that work will not be in place by 1 October 1996 and is not likely to commence until 1 April 1997.
I enclose lists containing signatures from 136 (one hundred and thirty six) residents who are most concerned at the delay.
We respectfully seek your help in obtaining an earlier commencement date as we consider the matter most urgent."
Mrs Gerdes was in attendance to request the urgent installation of traffic restraints in Joy Street and Golf Links Road. With The Palms Shopping Centre at Shirley opening on 1 October 1996 residents were concerned that the substantial increase in traffic generated by the Mall would compromise safety in the area. She asked that funding, which was spread out over two years, be brought forward. Members responded that David Dobbie and Carole Evans were to speak the to City Services Committee on this matter.
5. JOY STREET/GOLF LINKS ROAD TRAFFIC RESTRAINTS
Following the presentation of Maureen Gerdes under "Petitions" the Board resolved that a Traffic Management Plan for the area surrounding The Palms Shopping Centre be given an urgent priority.
6. DEPUTATIONS BY APPOINTMENT
George Watson, Co-ordinator of the Mature Employment Services Office in Aranui, was in attendance to update the Board on activities at the centre. George noted that there were an increasing number of young people requesting the service's assistance, which they were catering for. In addition, a computer training course was being set up to give employment seekers adequate skills to compete in the current job market. It was suggested that George apply to Trust Bank Canterbury for funding assistance in this area. The Chairman thanked George for his excellent work in Aranui and asked that he continue to provide regular reports to the Board.
Paul Rutledge, was in attendance to address the Board on the Rawhiti Park Camping Ground proposed leasehold development. Paul believed that the area had great potential for a development such as that presented, especially with many amenities in the park currently being underutilised. The camping ground would be of log cabin appearance with an on-site manager to act as caretaker for the area. The overall cost would be around $400,000 with the first stage hopefully operational by summer 1997.
7. RAWHITI PARK CAMPING GROUND PROPOSED LEASEHOLD DEVELOPMENT
Following the presentation of Paul Rutledge under "Deputations by Appointment" members expressed concern at the process being undertaken with this application. A public tender in 1992 had shown no interest in the area and since then no action had been taken on the matter. Some members felt that a process of public consultation had to ensue before the proposal was endorsed.
A motion moved by Gail Sheriff "That the Board request the Parks Unit to take no action on the Rawhiti Park Camping Ground proposal until there has been a formal public tender process and adequate public consultation" was declared lost on a show of hands 3-6.
Alister James moved by way of amendment:
"That the Rawhiti Park Camping Ground proposed leasehold development be advertised for public consultation in the framework of a formally advertised public meeting before any further action is taken."
The amendment was seconded and when put to the meeting was declared carried as the substantive motion on a show of hands 6-3.

The Chairman introduced the following correspondence with the consent of the Board.
2. A letter was received from Mr B R Hansen requesting that all illegal structures are removed along the Southshore Estuary before flood protection work proceeds.
