Discussion
4. Auckland Council considers there is a net public benefit derived
from providing individuals and community groups caring for privately owned
heritage features with funds towards maintenance and conservation costs. This
report presents funding recommendations on applications to the Waitakere
Heritage Fund received from within the Waitakere Ranges and Whau Local Board
areas.
5. The
Waitakere Heritage Fund (WHF) is a legacy Waitakere City Council fund that
supports a wide cross-section of the local community and provides funding
support to heritage preservation projects including:
· Physical
works projects for heritage buildings and archaeological sites such as fencing,
painting or building work
· Protective
measures such as fencing to protect archaeological sites, earthquake
strengthening or fire protection
· Professional
services e.g. research, conservation reports, conservation plans, heritage
plans, conservation work specifications, management plans or supervision work
· The
maintenance of heritage trees such as pruning.
6. Applications
to the WHF are assessed by a Council heritage expert against fund criteria
stated in the Fund guidelines (attached). This includes:
· Significance: The
project needs to have high heritage significance and regard will be given to
whether the resource is scheduled for protection in the Auckland Council
District Plan (Waitakere). The project needs to enhance the qualities for
which the heritage item is valued.
· Funding necessity:
Whether funding is important to securing the future of an at risk item/place.
· Compliance with best
practice: The extent to which the project reflects best practice as outlined
in the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICMOS) New Zealand
Charter.
· Public access: The
degree of physical access, visual access or educational value.
· Extent to which
projects recognise Maori perspectives.
7. This
assessment forms the basis of funding recommendations presented to the
Committee for their consideration.
8. The
Regional Development and Operations Committee allocated budget responsibility
for the WHF to the western Local Boards on 11 May 2011. The western Local
Board chairs resolved that WHF funds would be managed through the Western Joint
Funding Committee. In March 2013 the RDOC endorsed the extension of the interim
approach to community funding for the 2013/14 financial year.
9. The
Auckland Council Annual Plan for the 2013/14 financial year sets aside $45,000
in funding for the WHF. The WHF opened for applications on 17 June 2013 and will continue to remain
open until all available funding is allocated. WHF grant allocation
recommendations will be presented to the Western Joint Funding Committee two
times a year. Therefore there will be two cut-off dates for applications. Any
applications received after these deadlines will be held until the next funding
meeting.

10. The availability of heritage funding and information on the 2013/14
funding rounds has been promoted through the Auckland Council website, through
Auckland Council publications, press advertisements in local print media,
letters to owners of scheduled heritage items and an email notification to
heritage stakeholders.
11. There
is $45,000 available annually through the WHF for allocation by the Western
Funding Committee. In the first funding round for the Western Joint Funding
Committee supported three applications with grants totalling $13,127; this
leaves $31,873 available to be allocated to applications received during the
second funding round.
12. Eight
applications to the WHF were received during funding round two. In total $53,248 was requested by these applicants
from the $31,873 remaining funding pool.
13. All applications to the WHF met the scope of works and
eligibility criteria for funding. These application assessments have been
completed by an Auckland Council Principal Heritage Advisor and grant
allocation recommendations are made in line with the WHF assessment criteria
and funding policy. Detailed application assessment summaries were presented to
the Committee for their consideration at the Western Joint Funding Committee
workshop on 19 May 2014.
14. Following application assessment, it is recommended that
seven applications are supported with grants totalling $31,873. The recommended grant allocation
would fully allocate all funding available through the WHF. It is recommended
that one application be declined as the work proposed seeks to repair internal
damage to a heritage property without addressing the underlying issues.
Consideration
Local Board Views
15. Council
staff obtained informal feedback on the Waitakere Heritage Fund applications at
a workshop held with the members of the Western Joint Funding Committee on 19
May 2014.
Maori Impact Statement
16. The
provision of community funding to support historic heritage initiatives
provides opportunities for all Aucklanders to undertake projects, programmes
and activities that benefit Maori. The significance of sites to Maori and the
extent to which applications recognise Maori perspectives is considered as part
of the application assessment process.
General
17. Finance
and resourcing requirements for the delivery of WHF are within current heritage
incentive budgets provided in the 2013/14 annual plan. There is $45,000
currently available through the WHF for allocation by the Western Joint Funding
Committee in the 2013/2014 financial year. The recommended funding allocations
will full allocate all available funding.
Implementation Issues
18. No implementation issues have been identified. The fund will be
allocated in accordance with the decision of the Western Joint Funding
Committee.

Comments
4. In
March 2013 the Regional Operations and Development Committee agreed to the
continuation of the interim community funding approach for the 2013/2014
financial year:
“That the Regional Development and Operations Committee endorse the
continuation of the interim community funding programme for the 2013/2014
financial year, in accordance with current budgets and decisions-making
delegations, due to the complexity of the range of funding models currently
operating across the region, with the expectation that a new funding policy be
in place for the 2014.2015 financial year, or before” (RDO/2013/32).

funding is a general programme of interest and accessible to a wide range of
groups, including Maori. Maori are therefore likely to benefit alongside other
groups in the community. The provision of community funding to support
community development initiatives provides opportunities for all Aucklanders to
undertake projects, programmes and activities that benefit Maori.

11. Staff
will confirm in writing all grants made by the local board and will administer
payment and receipt of accountability for all grants made. The team will also
notify all unsuccessful applicants in writing.
