Council - Commercial Centre A shopping centre Create old town and new town feeling More commercial (zoned) land near Fresh Choice Shopping centre, activities on outskirts of town to stop blockages Commercial area option 3 would mean a nightmare for traffic and an eyesore for 1st impressions for Omokoroa Full consultation with community specifically re town centre. Position should be between Francis and Prole road Think the town centre should be on the empty land beside the Supermarket Establish a plan for a town centre between Prole road and SH2 Council - Reserves (General) Keep some of the greenspaces safe from alteration eg car parks, etc Clean weeds from reserve in Waterview Tree maintenance and mowing should be more regular Maintain and restore the few reserves we have Better upkeep (for) Lynley Park reserve More reserves and green spaces Keep reserves green areas Keep walkway open Keep existing reserves Identify further recreational resource areas to take pressure off waterfront Please keep remaining green spaces and enhance with trees not car parks Keep green spaces green and not have houses etc block access There s plenty of green land going to development, so look after what s left.

Council - Domain/Esplanade/Parking/Boat Ramp Protection mechanisms could be part of playground, community education project. Could create a space on the beach, going into the water Keep lullaby at beach playground Beachfront reserve; move bollards in so room for more parking on side A proper plan for the esplanade needs to be put into place ASAP. There will be fights on the boat ramp at this rate Better playground for children in Domain. We must have oldest playground equipment in NZ. Totally old fashioned. We need more modern playground New playground and slides and everything like msn Add family park and kayak access to point reserve picnic tables etc Keep waterfront iconic kiwi beach style How is the waterfront going to accommodate the increase of residents? Don t spoil the waterfront limit more expansion Preserve the beach area by controlling grass growth over the sand. The beach is getting less and less along the domain and esplanade. Height restriction on buildings near the beach Better control of dogs along the domain and esplanade. Many dogs are not on leads and out of control on domain beach All dogs on lead in Domain area. Pick up poo. Boat ramp needs to be widened next to existing ramp. Due to bigger community, more boats, = congestion at moment, no room for extra boats being launched Boat launching better all tide ramp more parking wider ramp Ban all camper caravans from boat trailer park. Put them in Cooney reserve Camper vans are not the problem. Cars parked over several days are where trailers should be Deal with parking at Domain. Long term Matakana parking elsewhere Parking is an issue. Better organising and enforcement needed. Extra parking needs to be addressed. Specific area allocated for Matakana residents. Running out of car boat trailer space. No room for picnickers. Parking needs to be freed up, the limits and policed. Boat trailer parking for boats and trailers only. Motor caravans limited to the stated rules. Max 3 vans etc Carpark for people leaving parked cars near the boat ramp all week when they go to Matakana island by ferry. More parking can be created along driveway to Sea Scouts hall Boat trailer carparking only at the carpark next to the store Increase carpark at Domain more at Crapps end of beach Restrict the number of motor homes parking on the esplanade. Better still have no vans parked in the car park. Parking for those going to Matakana needs sorting out. Cars are left on the esplanade all day by people going to Matakana Sort out cars parked for days whose owners have gone by ferry to the island Boat parking system lock/sticker system No more grass taken for parking on esplanade
