Re: Grandstand at Waikaraka Park speedway
I refer to your email, which we received on 27 February 2016, requesting information about
the Grandstand at Waikaraka Park speedway.
I have attached several reports and a memo that relates to the speedway, which will explain
the some further background in relation to current reporting on the speedway structure.
The reports attached were commissioned in co-operation with the former parks (now
Community Services) and property (now Community Facilities) departments within council.
The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board also requested officers to discover the state and
condition of the building and options for repair and demolition.
The parks and property teams have been heavily involved in research and reporting around
the building and the stock car club, whilst the local board has been very involved to the point
where they have oversight of the process.
The Chair of the local board asked for the councils Local Board Service senior advisor to
manage the process and council officers are currently preparing advice and
recommendations.
Other council departments involved in the site include Regional Facilities Auckland ( RFA)
and Community Facilities (leasing) and Parks, Sport and Recreation. Additionally council’s
legal team are involved along with Community Facilities Operational Management and
Maintenance who have sourced recent cost estimates for all the building demolition and
repair options.
As a result of the commissioned reports, a workshop has been proposed, in order to discuss
options to present at the local board’s April business meeting. Four proposed courses of
action have been presented to the Local Board and can be found in attachment 5
