Minutes of the Newtown Residents’ Association Meeting Monday 25 May 2020 via Zoom Present: Rhona Carson (Chair), Steve Cosgrove (Minutes), Martin Hanley, Carol Comber, Marion Leighton, Cr Laurie Foon, Mark Johnston, Peter Frater, Sam Somers, Jan Gould, Graeme Carroll, Jane Patterson, Patrick Morgan, Steve Dunn, Dom Shaheen. Apologies: Cr Fleur Fitzsimons, Jarad Corston, Robin Payne, Brent Caldwell, Anita Olsen. Rhona welcomed attendees, and invited input on local issues before starting on the primary agenda of discussing the WCC draft Parking Policy and the draft Annual Plan. Carrara Park redevelopment - Steve C reported that the contractors were doing a very good job, managing the site efficiently and making good progress. The plans include a new BBQ area, requiring new wiring for the electrical connection. A brief discussion about how having the BBQ increases the problems of having no toilet on site - restricting the time people can spend in the park, or increasing the temptation for children to relieve themselves in the bushes. Wellington City Mission car parking - Martin reported on this • Their carpark is being used to process food donations. They would like ideas and support for somewhere else to put their cars. • One option is angle parks in front of their building in Gordon Place. Jared Corston is discussing on behalf of WCC. • Perhaps Wakefield Hospital would allow them to use some parks in the old Caltex site. Allocating Riddiford St car parks as extra space for bars and cafes - Martin has been negotiating this as a Newtown Festival project. • Some uncertainty at Council, but getting there. Fleur and Laurie will help if required. • 13 zones: Hall St - Bebemos; Riddiford St - Black Coffee to curb extensions, outside Planet Spice / Office / Pranah, Curry Heaven to bus stop, Patisserie Delight, Moon Bar, Goodboy Sandwich to curb extension, Raman Shop to curb extension, Arroy Thai Express; Constable St - Peoples Coffee; Wilson S- Viva Mexico, Bar Mason. • They can have a food licence easily, but extending Liquor licences is slowing down the process. Noting that establishments each already have an on-licence. • Each area will have an accessibility ramp. Wellington Electricity building is going to be refurbished. The transformers may be using the empty section next door during this refurbishment. • Peter mentioned that a parapet over the empty building looks precarious. Mobility Parking -Jan reported that mobility parks in Victoria Street, South of the Old Farmers building, have been coned off for some reason. Laurie will follow up with Council. Draft Parking Policy - submissions due on June 8th. • Marion outlined the ideas she is submitting on - approves of the priorities in the draft policy. • Mark is coordinating a submission on the city-wide parking policy. • Sam commented on the plans for free weekend public transport that he put forward when he stood for the GWRC. • Rhona noted that time-limited parking with resident exemption, which we have talked about at Association meetings, has been adopted as proposed policy.
