Ian from Miramar

For all of us that feel that our green spaces, sports grounds, golf courses and greenbelts in everyone's communities are under threat from big business, Councils and Government it is important that we tell them that enough is enough.

Please follow the link or copy address below into your browser...

www.parliament.nz...

and sign the petition in support of Ken and the quest to protect the MIRAMAR GOLF CLUB land for future generations and set a precedent that will enable others that follow to protect what is rightfully theirs - because once it’s taken over, its gone forever!!!

Petition request:
That the House of Representatives pass legislation that applies a special heritage land designation on land owned by the Miramar Golf Club in Wellington to protect it from compulsory acquisition by Wellington Airport.

Petition reason:
The Miramar Golf Club est. 1905 owns an 18-hole golf course (zoned recreation for the playing of golf) on land abutting Wellington Airport est. 1958. The airport has given notice, again, that further golf club land is needed to expand for future unspecified airport activities. The only way to preserve the 18-hole Miramar Golf Course, which acts as a major tourist attraction, a green space, a recreational area, and a noise buffer between airport and residential areas, is by an Act of Parliament.

Please pass this on to all golfers, sportsmen/women, neighbours, friends and passionate protectors of green space in NZ.

Thanks
