The engineered channel at Baiter Harbourside
Park which allows water to flow between the Poole Park Lagoon and
Parkstone Bay has come to the end of its serviceable life. The
sluice channel is presently a safety concern, and has been cordoned
off except for non-motorised access. The purpose of this report is
to request that Cabinet allocates funding in line with the
specialist report and Officer recommendations, to progress the
design through to pre-construction, and subsequently construction
to: replace the sluice channel; upgrade the sluice channel; and,
improve the localised drainage system at Keyhole Bridge (subject to
appropriate consents).
