Plans flow in for Air By Lisa Allison More than 40 proposals for the future use of Wigram Air Base have been put forward and many more are hoped for, according • to Christchurch's Deputy Mayor, Morgan Fahey. Dr Fahey, who sits on the Government-appointed task torce set up to look at future uses for Wigram, said it was likely public submissions would be called before or just after Christmas. The function of the group was to gather submissions from those interested in Wigram as an aviation, education or recreation facility. "We will assess the economic viability of the proposals and report back to the Government on the potential use of the prop erty, " he said. The task force would not foster proposals that would be in competition with Christchurch Airport. Proposals which enhanced the international airport would be favoured. Dr Fahey said he was heartened by the 42 proposals already Wi gram Base Morgan Fahey received and hoped the call for public submissions would bring in many more. The proposals included plans or avation training, motor sports and a national driving school for the country's youth to learn quality driving skills. "There are some very exciting proposals - the more work we do, the more convinced we are site that Wigram can be turned into an economically viable tunctior for the country, " Dr Fahey sala. Submissions would be called after the Cabinet had approved funding for consultants to deal with them. The task force was also pushing for a Cabinet decisión on ownership of the land. If the site remained in Črown hands, as a State-owned enterprise, and was leased to interested parties, it could be retained without land argument. "That solves all land litigation," he said. The land carries a defence zoning. If it were put up for sale, the land would revert to a rural zoning and first option on buying it would be with the descendants of previous owners. People working to save Wigram were granted a reprieve last month when the Cabinet ordered the Defence Department to halt the land sell-off until interested parties had time to formulate proposals tor the future use of the land. The RNZAF is due to move out of Wigram in December 1995.
