Rolleston town centre - Rolleston Reserve development

Special Consultative Procedure September 2020

Selwyn District Council is seeking community feedback on the proposed design and layout for the redevelopment of Rolleston Reserve.

The proposed changes to the reserve are part of the wider Rolleston town centre project. Work on the town centre is already under way, with Tennyson Street being upgraded and construction of Te Ara Ātea making good progress.

Over the past year we’ve been consulting with the community about options for the reserve redevelopment. Based on this consultation we’re proposing four distinct areas across the reserve to create spaces that the whole community can use and enjoy. These are:

• Youth space
• Sensory space
• Green space (passive reserve space)
• Supporting pedestrian links and infrastructure

The reserve car park has been created which includes 76 car spaces including accessible spaces as well as provision for bus parking.

We’ve provided more details in the articles below (under the 'News Feed' tab) with information about the proposed spaces, designs and layout.

Please read through the information, view the designs and examples and if you’d like to give your feedback please make a submission.

You can make a submission using the online submission form.

Alternatively, you can download a copy of the submission form, or pick up a hard copy of the form from the Council offices or any Selwyn District Council Library or Service Centre. Completed forms can be returned by mail, email, or in person to the Council offices or any Selwyn Library or Service Centre. See feedback form for details.
