Tupapa Maraerenga Multi Sports Stadium Tupapa Maraerenga Multi Sports DRAFT ENVIRONMENT IMPACTStadium ASSESSMENT REPORT March 2021 Prepared for: Romani Katoa Report prepared by: Paul Teariki Maoate REF No. E2012.2 Draft Environment Impact Assessment – Tupapa Maraerenga Multi Sports Stadium Executive Summary This Environmental Impact Assessment has been prepared for the Tupapa Maraerenga Sports Association in partnership with the Cook Islands Football Association. The Proposal The aim of this project is to develop the existing Tupapa Maraerenga sports field with the inclusion of a new multi-purpose sports stadium. The new multi-purpose Sports Stadium is to be built on the northern side of the sports field, the main structure comprises a 65m long, 9m wide by 10m high building structure. The new stadium has two levels, the top floor is the grand-stand seating which accommodates for a total of 608 seats. A conference space occupies the top floor in the center of the stadium. The ground floor comprises separate rooms that facilitates; toilet rest rooms, changing rooms, referee room and medical room. Within the vicinity of the new stadium building footprint, the ground levels will be raised to provide for a levelled building platform. Imported non-organic and free draining granular and cohesive soils will be required to form the new platform. The adjoining sports field will be upgrade to align with the new stadium construction. Improvement and maintenance of the existing stormwater system is incorporated into the project. The Tupapa Maraerenga community have long desired for a new purpose built stadium, the community have undertaken fundraising efforts in the past to build a new stadium. The Cook Islands Football Association are able to fund for the construction of a new multi-purpose sports stadium. Alternatives Considered The alternatives considered is based on the position of the new sports stadium, the Tupapa Maraerenga Community do not have alternative land or sports field. The alternatives considered is based on the position of the new stadium. At present the Tupapa Maraerenga Sports Association have agreed for the new multi-purpose Sports Stadium be located along the northern boundary side of the existing sports field. There sufficient land space for the new stadium, the northern boundary side comprise competent soil strata compared to that of the southern ‘softer soils’. The new stadium is in close proximity to the neighboring residential properties. Alternative 1: Southern Boundary The southern boundary is away from residential homes and will not obstruct view. The land space is narrow, and will likely encroach into the sports field or adjacent swamp area to facilitate the Ref: E2012.2 March 2021 Page | 2 Draft Environment Impact Assessment – Tupapa Maraerenga Multi Sports Stadium building footprint. The cost to construct in this area is likely to exceed the available funds due to the requirement for deep piles foundation in relation to the soft alluvial soils. Alternative 2: Western Boundary The western boundary is situated adjacent to the Victoria Road. The stadium is away from residential homes. The land space is narrow, and will likely encroach into the existing carpark area. An existing underground stormwater culvert runs along the western embankment, bridging piles will be required to build over the culvert. The cost to construct in this area is likely to exceed the available funds. Alternative 3: Eastern Boundary The eastern boundary is situated adjacent to the Tupapa Maraerenga Netball Courts and residential home. The stadium is away from most residential homes. The land space is limited, and will encroach into the existing sports field. The new stadium will impact on access and view to the netball courts, the view to the neighboring property will also be obstructed. Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the event the proposal is not approved, the Tupapa Maraerenga and Avarua community will be at a disadvantage, this has been a community desire for some time, and there is no other land or alternative sports field for the new sports stadium. Stormwater flow is a potential impact, the Tupapa Maraerenga sports field is part of the Pue to Tupapa drainage system. The existing neighboring taro swamp is to be maintained to attenuate and treat stormwater, reducing high flows and safe quality discharge into the Tupapa lagoon. Impacts to residential homes along the northern boundary with regards to view obstruction will require additional and ongoing consultations. Environmental Management Plan An outline Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared and appended to this report, to provide for the protection of the environment and the community, during the development of the property and the new residential dwelling. The Contractor will prepare a detailed Construction Environment Management Plan, once approval is granted; the detailed Construction EMP will be used by both the Contractor and the National Environment Services as a guide to monitor the proposal. Summary The Tupapa Maraerenga have acquired the property for the purpose of developing a new multi- purpose sports stadium. This is the only property available for a development of this nature. The objectives of this EIA are to: Make sure that possible adverse environmental, social and economic impacts are identified and avoided, remedied or mitigated; and Inform the public about the proposal.
