These stairs form a very popular and convenient access between Emily Place and beach Road.
This set of stairs, referred to as ‘through-site access’ was created via the
operation of ‘bonus floor provisions’ of resource consents. This is a way for developers to increase the floor space of a private development by providing public access or public benefit from the change.
Sometimes we get toilets, sometimes art, sometimes paths and or stairs linking popular streets.
You can see more detail in Vernon Tava's excellent map : vernontava.com...
Please contact Council (link below or on Call us on 09 301 0101 ) and ask why these are being closed off. And request their re-opening.
These bonus floor arrangements are part of creating amenity for cities, and for residents who live here, are particularly useful and important.
They provided building owners with taller, bigger buildings in a contractual exchange that gives back to the city, and to residents.
Building owners who no longer want these amenities (even though though get to keep their extra floor space of course) come up with all sorts of made-up excuses to get rid of them, paying for 'experts' to back them up.
Slowly but surely all of our bonus floor provision amenities are being closed off.

For the last few months Ellen Melville Centre has been open on Saturdays which has been a huge success! We would now like to look at having the Lounge open on Sundays but we will need some help! It would be great if we had the lounge accessible for the community 7 days a week. If you are interested please let them know!
