Brooklands Lagoon Area Draft Parks Master and Management Plans

31 Aug 2009 - 17:00
Description: 

These plans set out proposals for the managment of public lands around Brooklands Lagoon.  They contain a lot of interesting information about the area but the key issue from a cycling presepctive is the proposed combined mountain bike and walking path fom Spencer Park to the Brooklands settlement near the mouth of the Styx River. 

This path would provide an important linkage between cycle paths from north Brighton through Bottle Lake Park and the rough but cycleable route down the Waimakariri River stopbanks from McLeans island which is proposed to be upgraded as part of the development of the Waimakariri Regional Park.

Generally a promising proposal overall, and one worth supporting.

The masterplan is attached below.  The management plans can be obtained from Councils consultation website at:
