		(2) The open character of Ferrymead Reserve, the stone wall, the mature trees and the native vegetation in the southern portion of the reserve shall be protected and preserved.
		Comment: Ferrymead Reserve was the place where the early settlers paused after or before traversing the Bridle Path on foot or on horseback, or having embarked/disembarked on the sailing ships that sailed between Ferrymead and the Port of Lyttelton.
		It would be fitting to commemorate the heroic spirit and fortitude of the pioneer women who coped with appalling primitive conditions with energy, initiative and enterprise by dedicating this shelter (and the proposed shelter at Birdsey's Reserve) to them.
