Requested Information:

1. How will you protect these public assets from vandalism? (page 7)
2. Without a farmer present, how will inappropriate behaviour like this be prevented or addressed in the park? (page 8)
3. There is no mention of the World War II munitions bunks. Are you planning to erase this part of our history? (page 11)
4. How will the public be able to access the bunkers when the farm becomes overgrown with rank grass, weeds and gorse? (page 11)
5. Could Belmont’s future end up like the Port Hills, Twizel, or Tasman Pigeon Valley fires? If this happens at Belmont, who will be held accountable? Will the GWRC Councillors who voted to end farming be personally responsible for the consequences of exposing the public to these dangers? (page 13)
6. Once farming is removed from Belmont Regional Park, will the park be closed during the hot summer months due to increased fire risk? (page 14)
7. The country’s main natural gas pipeline and fibre optic cables run through the farmed area of Belmont. How will they be protected, particularly in the event of a fire? (page15)
8. What evidence does GWRC have that a windy high-country block will naturally regenerate? (page 16)
