9.5.1       Bus shelters at Te Rereatukahia Marae and Tuapiro Marae

A discussion took place regarding the requirement for rural bus shelters:

·       There was a desire for two bus shelters at Te Rereatukahia Marae.

·       It was thought that the bus shelter at Hikurangi Road was in a dangerous position, and it was recommended that the Board support the replacement of the bus shelter in a new location, in consultation with the hapū.

·       It was noted that the use of second-hand bus shelters would incur costs for freighting and installation, and would have a similar cost to new Totalspan shelters. New shelters would also have a significantly longer life-span than second-hand ones.

·       It was suggested that there be a Community Board-led engagement process regarding the community’s requirements for bus shelters. This could be discussed at a subsequent Board meeting for a decision.

·       Staff would consult with hapū representatives regarding the location of the bus shelters at Te Rereatukahia Marae and Tuapiro Marae.

Moved:                         Cr R Joyce

Seconded:         Cr A Henry

9.5.2      Park Road Bus Stop

It was requested that staff investigate the viability of a concrete pad and bench seat for the Park Road bus-stop near Park Lane, as where pedestrians stood was often wet and covered in long grass.
