raised by the Friends of Maungawhau and the Maungawhau Advisory Groups
representatives be addressed by the council officers in their report back to
this committee in August 2008.
The following response from the Chief Executive to Cr Fryer arising from a
resolution of the April community board meeting, has been included at Cr Fryer's
request:
"Background
A blue minute was received from the Eden/Albert Community Board in January
2008 requesting significant information relating to the Maungawhau/Mt Eden to be
reported in February 2008.
At the time, the Board was advised that the recommendations on how to
proceed with development of the mountain was to be reported to the Arts, Culture
and Recreation Committee in April 2008 and the Board would be copied with the
report.
The committee report did not include the detail requested by the Board as
it sought to set the future direction for the mountain.
Staffing constraints meant that a choice had to be made between
progressing the Committee reporting, which enables the future work plan to be
developed and implemented, and researching the Board's information request.
Without an approved way forward, officers would have been unable to respond to
some of the Board's queries."
