Re: Projects at Sunnynook Park
Thank you for your email dated 24 April 2024, in which you requested information about a
summary of projects completed at Sunnynook Park. The specific details of your request and
our response are below.
Can you please provide a summary of projects completed at Sunnynook Park on
Auckland's North Shore in the past five years (April 2019 - April 2024).
This doesn't need to include routine maintenance like mowing. I'm interested in
anything that isn't routine, especially anything that required closure of any facilities
(e.g. re-turfing).
Can I please get a list including the following details for each project:
(1) Project dates
(2) Summary of what was done, and the work required.
(3) Approximate cost
The below table shows all projects that have been completed in the last five years at
Sunnynook Park by the Parks and Community Facilities department:
