New vision for Parakai Reserve Parakai isn’t strictly West Auckland but West Aucklanders have long had a love affair with the hot pools complex and there are now plans for major redevelopment of the reserve in which the pools are located.
A plan to revitalise and further develop Auckland's only geothermal reserve has been released for public feedback. The Kaipatiki (Parakai Recreation Reserve) Draft Reserve Management Plan which describes the proposals is now available on line. The Plan offers an overview of the vision for the reserve in the heart of Parakai, spanning the next 50 years. It includes a five and 10 year development scope with improvements suggested for the next five years comprising native revegetation, an enhanced educational track network, community gardens and high quality temporary holiday accommodation. Separate to the management plan process, the reserve is undergoing a formal name change to Kaipa ¯tiki, being the original name bestowed upon the land by local iwi prior to European settlement. The development plan of Kaipa ¯tiki (Parakai Recreation Reserve) is now available at shapeauckland.co.nz
A public open day will be held at Te Whare Oranga o ¯ Parakai next to the reserve on Sunday 28 May 2017 with Board and the project team members present to answer questions. More details regarding the open day will be posted on shapeauckland.govt.nz as they become available. Written feedback on the draft plan is encouraged via the on-line feedback form at shapeauckland.co.nz, submissions must be received by 4.00pm on Friday 16 June 2017.
