Updates
The Council is seeking feedback on the Christchurch Yacht Club's proposal for building works at their leased facilities at 239 Main Road, Moncks Bay. As they lease the site from the Council, they need Council approval to move forward with their plans.
What's proposed:
- Construction of a new storage building along the southwestern boundary
- Extending the existing wharf to the northwest of the clubhouse
- Installing a new concrete slipway for launching boats on the western boundary
- A new gate between the proposed storage building and existing club house.
The new building will provide storage for rescue boats and junior dinghy’s which are currently stored in the open or under the clubhouse. There are no changes to site fencing being proposed.
While the Club holds an exclusive use right over their site, including the wharf and pontoon, they have always welcomed public use of their outdoor spaces and will continue to do so.
The building work will remain within the footprint of their leased site. Planning and building consent will be required separate to this process and will need to be advanced by the Club.
Building costs would be covered by the Club, and not the Council.
