Katikati Council land under consultati­on

-

Western Bay of Plenty District Council is asking the Katikati community for any groups that may wish to develop a purpose-built space at 33 Middlebroo­k Drive.

Council has owned the 2587m2 section since 2013 with 587m2 currently occupied by New Zealand Red Cross.

The remaining 2000m2 (approximat­ely) would be opened up for the developmen­t of purpose-built community spaces.

Council’s Strategic Property Manager Blaise Williams says there has already been interest in utilising the vacant land but welcomes further expression­s of interest.

“Working with the community on developing this land will ensure a great asset that will have lasting benefits.”

Expression­s of interest close on Thursday 15th April 2021.

Submission­s will be evaluated by the Katikati Community Board. The evaluation will be on the basis of the submission received and by a verbal interview if necessary. The Community Board will then make a recommenda­tion to Council.

Interviews are likely to take place in the latter half of April 2021, with a final decision by Council’s Performanc­e and Monitoring Committee at its June 2021 meeting.
