Newlands Park Upgrade

Details

Wellington City Council wishes to advise civil contractors to the imminent release of a tender to upgrade Newlands Park into a community play space for this site, please see the provided attachments for the scale of work involved.
The development will support Wellington City’s vision for play spaces being “… a network of sometimes wild, always fun, diverse, safe and accessible places that foster growth and development of children and young people and contribute towards building a healthy, active, connected city.”

The outcomes will include:
• Creating a community play space and adjacent to the skate park. This will see two play spaces with one for toddlers and the other for general use.
• Space for families to gather including barbeques, sheltered seating landscaping, and area for small outdoor performances.
• The installation of a mutli-use all weather general playing surface.
• A half basketball court, a bike pump track and the redevelopment of the existing skate area.
• Enhance the ecological corridor and connectivity of green networks in the Northern Suburbs.
• Improve in the parking facilities at the upper level sports field.
• Provide public toilet facilities located close to the play space
Two site layouts plans have been provided with this notice to allow you to assess the degree of work required.
