The Greerton Maarawaewae study

Greerton racecourse

Securing a future for the racecourse and golf club reserve land in Greerton

Update May 2022

The Greerton Maarawaewae Study team  reported back to the Commissioners at a  Council meeting on 11 April. The report covered the findings from the two phases of community engagement and other assessments around what the best use of this land might be in 10-50 years. Please note – no recommendations or decisions were made at this April Council meeting. Council will be in touch soon about next steps forward. In the meantime, please have a read of the options study progress report and supporting documentation.

Timeline

The study is in three phases (we've completed two phases)

  • Phase 1: we are listening to ideas from mana whenua, existing users, and the wider community, to help generate options to be considered during Phase 2

    Late October to Christmas 2021

  • Phase 2: we are seeking feedback from mana whenua, existing users, and the wider community to provide feedback on options that have been developed based on the ideas that have been shared

    Mid December 2021 to 6 March 2022

  • Update to the Commissioners - information on the project including the Phase 1 and Phase 2 engagement results and progress on the study options

    11 April 2022

  • Recommendations to the Commissioners – recommendations on next steps forward including the final phase of engagement (Phase 3)

    13 June 2022

  • Phase 3: we are consulting with mana whenua, exiting users, the wider community and those that provided feedback previously, to identify a preferred option based on previous feedback and the multi-criteria analysis assessment

    To be confirmed

  • Greerton Maarawaewae Study Commissioners Panel to hear community views and consider all the submissions received

    To be confirmed

  • Final report and recommendations will then go to the Commissioners for a decision on the future of this reserve land

    To be confirmed
