Have your say - how are we doing?
The Council is open to all property transactions this could include leases and the sale of these sites. Previous community feedback supported the sale of the Levin War Memorial Hall.
The Levin Town Centre Transformation Programme aims to reinvest any income made from sale or leases of property is reinvested directly back into the Levin Town Centre, this will mean we are not asking ratepayers to fund Town Centre Improvements.
We are looking at all proposals for the hall, this may include strengthening the building, to refurbishing it, adding to it or completely demolishing it.
No. The skate park is a key and valued space for young people. If a developer is interested in this site we will ensure that the Town Centre is provided an upgraded skate park, which caters for a wider range of ages and also abilities.
Research shows that Skate Parks are a great way to add vibrancy and activity, however they are best to be kept in high traffic areas close to the Centre of Town to minimise antisocial behaviour. Two areas have been identified as potential sites for a new Skate Park – one is opposite the existing skate park outside the Aquatics building and the second is on the corner of the Domain opposite New World.
It is possible that the village green in its current form will change, however we expect that some public access through the site will still exist. If this site is developed, Council is confident that opening up the Levin Domain that the greenspace available for public access will increase in the Town Centre.
Previous public consultation showed support for the disposal of the Levin War Memorial Hall. Council is trying to avoid the cost of earthquake strengthening which could be a cost on ratepayers.
The benefit seen in running an EOI process, is that the Council to understand if there is a developer with the money and appetite to develop this space for greater benefit to the community and Town Centre.
