SUGGESTION OF ZONING
Development Of Estuary
The chairman of the estuary Development Committee (Mr B. R. Walker) said last evening at a meeting of the Canterbury Progress League that the league was considering whether it should ask the City Council to protect land in the estuary area from people who had an eye on its value by asking the council to zone it.
He was referring to the potential value of the land through dredging.
He wondered whether the council could be persuaded to accept some responsibility for a "blue area,” and whether it would consider the spending of some reserve funds along those lines. “We could attempt to sell them the idea,” he said.
The league’s president (Mr G. R. Burrowes) said that there was very little the league could do, except to gather its facts from sporting bodies, until such time as it knew what the Drainage Board was going to do. “And they won’t know until such time as they get their Wallingford report,” said Mr Burrowes.
