Info

On that basis activities on Town Belt will not include: • leases for childcare, Plunket and learning institutions such as schools and community centres 25 . 6.3 Existing recreational activities The Town Belt provides residents and visitors with a wide range of recreational activities: • informal activities such as jogging, walking, orienteering, gardening, biking, dog walking, skateboarding, children’s play, casual sport (eg kicking a ball), sightseeing picnicking and so on • organised sports such as football, netball, rugby, hockey, tennis, softball and cricket. This includes more commercial ‘pay-for-play’ activities such as touch rugby, golf at the Berhampore Golf Course and squash at Club Kelburn. See map on next page. Many of these activities are limited to certain areas. For instance: • sport and recreation parks (sportsfields) are primarily used for organised sports • neighbourhood parks are used for informal activities and may contain playgrounds and sometimes skateboard parks • the track network is used for walking (sometimes with a dog), running and mountain biking • dog-exercise areas are for dogs off leash • buildings and associated sports surfaces are for club/group activities, including indoor sports such as squash, badminton and gym sports. See the current uses map for each sector in section 8 for the distribution of these. All of these recreation facilities are managed as part of the wider parks network. 6.4 Sporting infrastructure The 1840 plan of Wellington clearly states that land was to be “reserved for the enjoyment of the public and not to be built upon”. However, while it was the original intention of the New Zealand Company Secretary that there should be no building on the Town Belt, this stipulation was not included in the 1873 Town Belt Deed and the intention was not complied with over subsequent years. Between 1873 and 1995 a large number of recreational clubs leased land and/or buildings on Town Belt land. Since 1881, when Newtown Park was opened, the development of sporting infrastructure has occurred at a number of sites on the Town Belt. There are a range of facilities providing for junior sport through to international competition. Facilities providing for national or international sporting competitions and training, such as the Renouf Tennis Centre, Newtown Park (athletics) and National Hockey Stadium, have developed to cater for spectators and the requirements of their particular sport. The specialisation of some sporting facilities can lead to more exclusive use. 25 Section 61 (2A) (a) of the Reserves Act outlines these activities as suitable for leasing local purpose reserve.
