To consider the production of Park Improvement Concept Plans to four of the Town's major community parks. BACKGROUND: In October 2012, Council considered the DRAFT Park Trees Management Plan 2012-2022 (Item CR12.156) and Council's decision was:- "(i) (ii) the Administration is to prepare a short policy on the management of park trees for adoption by Council. The policy should provide high level guidance only. The policy should contain policy measures that reflect the Town's aspirations for the creation of beautiful, shady and safe, useable parks; for the current financial year, the Administration prepares Park Improvement Concept Plans for 4 of the Town's larger parks utilising the services of a qualified landscape designer with the assistance of a greenspace planning organisation such as Playscape; • each plan will showcase superior landscaping using an appropriate combination of ornamental trees, native and non-native trees, and smaller plants that give the best outcome for the use and attractiveness of each park. • each concept plan will identify additional recreational amenities and infrastructure such as seating, shade, bbqs, tables, paths and lighting to make the park a peoplefriendly and safe place to visit. • the elements of each concept plan will set the character of the park and efforts should be made to give each park a different look and feel. • the concept plans are to be largely pictorial with an indication of the cost of the proposed capital works. The Administration is also requested to provide advice on how this work is to be funded in the current budget." DETAILS: This report details the process recommended to progress the development of specific Park Improvement Concept Plans. To assist in the development of these plans a proposed new Policy for the Management of Park Trees has been prepared for consideration.
