beef 74 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 If the back carpark is included in the land the government wants to discard for future housing, what does the ATC do? Try to buy it back solo or perhaps with the Showgrounds? Certainly, if it is lost for housing, we'll soon find out if the truck parking plan holds water once the Blues complex is completed.

Nslram 80 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 My understanding is they have to offer it back to ATC at market value if they don't go ahead with the school Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay 1,711 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 Can the ATC afford to buy it - afterall what would they use it for, except as a carpark. Which would make it a very expensive carpark. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nslram 80 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 Can't afford to buy it now but it's not on the market now. If all goes to plan there will be money available in 18months and that land could be used for more apartments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione 77 Report post Posted May 31, 2015 I have a feeling of disquiet about the track being surrounded by all these apartments. Will they all be made to sign a form to say that they will not complain about noise/lights/smell or whatever other excuse they can come up with from what is supposedly the soul the area, Harness racing? There was the case in Mt Wellington with residents complaining about the noise of children in an adjoining playground, how can there be guarantees that the same will not occur at Alex Park? Karaka residents (anecdotally) asking adjoining farmers to not graze cows in paddock because ruined BBQ nights. Neighbours buying next to existing poultry quarantine, nek minute, gone?

Nslram 80 Report post Posted June 1, 2015 Her ions the track is not been surrounded by apartments. They are been built in the area by the show grounds and home turn and there are covenants that stop anyone complaining about anything harness related.
