Work programme - Sites of Significance and value to Iwi

 

File No.: CP2014/25309

 

Purpose

1.       To provide a brief update on council’s work programme relating to Sites of Significance and value to iwi.

Executive summary

2.       Council has provided, through the Annual Plan, significant budget to develop and implement a long term work program focused on improving the identification, assessment and management of sites of significance/value to iwi.

3.       There are two work streams currently underway.

4.       The first is a desktop review of the accuracy of the archaeological records relating to 3600 sites of value within the PAUP.  This work only relates to archaeological records and does not assess Iwi values.  The first stage of this work is expected to be completed at the end of the year.  There will be ongoing work as a result of the findings of this work.  The extent and nature of the work will be dependent on the relationship with the second stream of work as well as on the PAUP hearings outcome.

5.       The second work stream is a program to identify and assess sites of value and significance to iwi.  The outcomes of this work would lead to agreed management approaches including scheduling in the Unitary Plan via a plan change.

6.       Subject to funding through the Long-term Plan (LTP), it is intended to establish a resource (two - four staff) within the Heritage Team to advance this work.  Initially however, this work is being progressed by reallocating internal staff and engaging a team of consultants experienced in this area.  The team is:

i.        Keita Kohere, Heritage Unit

ii        Consultants: 

-     Amelia Linzey, Beca Carter

-     Max Smitheram, Due North

-     Antoine Coffin, Boffa Miskell

7.       Hui have been held with Iwi who have established a working group to assist and advise on the project.  A work program has been prepared and agreed with Iwi.  The work program consists of the following steps:

-      the identification of a process and protocol for collection and appropriate dissemination of information on SSI, including the protocols for managing information in respect of these sites.

-      develop communication protocols –with Iwi and Landowners

-      develop methodology for assessing and mapping

-      identify management approaches to improve the protection of these sites.

-      a pilot assessment of priority sites (approx. 20)

-      review results

-      apply tested methodology to an ongoing programme.

 

 

Recommendation/s

That the Heritage Advisory Panel:

a)      receive the report.

Issues raised by panel members

 

File No.: CP2014/24968

 

Purpose

1.       To list issues that the panel members have raised since the last Heritage Advisory Panel meeting.

Executive summary

2.       The Heritage Panel has previously discussed the contribution chimneys make to the heritage values of bungalows and villas, and the threat to them from potential requirements for their removal to address perceived earthquake risks.  Members have recently raised the issue of the impact of council’s draft open fire policy on retention of chimneys.

3.       The restoration of the Symonds St cemetery project – the Panel had noted a desire for a presentation from the Waitemata Local Board on their plans for the restoration of the cemetery.

4.       Panel members have raised the issue of the future of the St James building following recent announcements.

5.       Panel members recently raised concerns with regards to the risk to Maori heritage sites around Auckland.

6.       The function of panel meetings.  Housekeeping matters include whether we might discuss topics by email if there appears to be too few items on the agenda to justify a meeting in person and/or deadlines for submission of agenda items so that ‘light’ meeting agendas can be ‘filled in’ with some of the things we have identified in the past that we would like the panel to take a lead on.

Recommendation/s

That the Heritage Advisory Panel:

a)      note the issues raised.
