3 It’s all go this month with DCL seeking the community’s feedback on early design ideas for the Christchurch Hot Pools! This engagement follows on from the consultation in November last year where DCL asked the public for its thoughts on the new playground and the hot pools. The community were instrumental in securing funding for the pools through submissions to Council’s Annual Plan process, and now have the opportunity to give feedback on early designs. People said they wanted the hot pools to be a place for locals and visitors to relax and enjoy. Design ideas focus on this feedback with the aim of creating an inclusive, flexible space designed around the natural environment and reflecting the desire for a family friendly facility. At the same time, Christchurch City Council is engaging on proposed improvements to Marine Parade and Brighton Mall. You can pick up a copy of the engagement documentation for the hot pools from the New Brighton Project Office, and responses can be made online at www.ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay. The period for feedback closes at 5pm, 10 November 2017.
