Parklands site for Plunket
Parklands residents may soon be able to take their infants to new Plunket rooms near their community centre. The Waimairi District Council’s Works, Reserves, and Traffic Committee has recommended to the council that it grant the Parklands Plunket Society a lease of up to 100 sq m of land near the Parklands community hall. The lease would be drawn up for 21 years with a right of renewal for a further 21 years at a peppercorn rental of 10c a year. Final approval of the site will be subject to there being no objections to preschool facilities in the proposed Residential G Zone
under the council’s reviewed District Scheme. The Parklands Plunket Society now has a small room in the Parklands playcentre in Queenspark Drive. The clinic is too small and inconveniently sited to cope with the area’s growing infant population. Although the Society has allocated funds for the building it has taken a year of discussion with council staff to find a suitable site. One of the main problems in finding a site, has been the shortage of reserve land in Parklands. The central location of the proposed site and its easy access to shops are considered desirable by the society.
