Draft
Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Feedback:
Community facilities network plan
(CFNP)
The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu
Local Board acknowledges and thanks officers and stakeholders for the extensive
work that has been undertaken on the Community Facilities Network Plan (CFNP)
and notes its role in ensuring better decision-making for our facilities.
The Mangere-Ōtāhuhu Local
board provides the following feedback for consideration for the final CFNP:
General feedback
·
Supports the overall
implementation approach but recognises that the critical issue is to ensure
that the Governing Body through the Long Term Plan prioritise allocated budget
for delivery on the recommendations of the plan.
·
Supports the strategic framework
of the draft CFNP, however, would like to see a stronger focus on responding to
population growth, particularly in areas where Special Housing Area (SHAs) have
been approved, which may not be adequately reflected in the draft CFNP.
·
That the CFNP must also reflect
historical lack of investment in its future planning to ensure communities
which have lacked investment in community facilities to date and are currently
inadequately served; therefore, do not continue to miss out for the life of the
CFNP, because of a primary focus on anticipated future growth areas.
·
Notes the inclusion of libraries
into the scope of the Community Facilities Network Plan.
·
Notes updated timeframes,
including additional local board engagement, to deliver the CFNP,
·
Recommends that the CFNP be a tool
to enable and enhance relevant local board plan initiatives and to support the
implementation of the Auckland Plan and related strategic action plans to
deliver positive community outcomes.
Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4
·
Agrees that there are challenges
facing community facilities, and encourages the Governing Body to take a
collaborative approach with local boards to address and overcome these
challenges.
·
Agrees with the proposed purpose,
outcomes and standards of community facilities, as they align to and complement
local board plan priorities and initiatives.
Section 4.1 – Community centres
Agrees with the proposed future
provision framework for community centres, noting:
o
the minimum size for a new
community centre should be broadened to account for any budget-related issues
that may impact on the building’s size;
o
that larger, multi-use flexible
spaces must reflect the character and local identity of the community, and
these elements are not compromised for cost-saving purposes, particularly by
utilising public art;
o
when considering the Mayor’s
Proposal to move towards a more community-led approach for community
development, that governance and management is prioritised to ensure continuity
and successful delivery of community centres.
Section 4.2 – Venues for hire
Recommends that new stand-alone
venues for hire (community halls) continue as a proposed option for new
community facility development, as they:
o
are an important facility option
for smaller and geographically isolated communities, as a new multi-use
community centre may not be necessary or meet their communities’ needs;
o
fulfil an important function as a
‘satellite’ facility for existing community centres, where additional meeting,
programming or activity space is required within close proximity of the
community centre.
·
Agrees with the proposal to
investigate options to:
o
address venues for hire that have
identified condition or performance issues;
o
consider venues for hire that no
longer serve a community purpose or fulfil the communities’ need.
Section 4.3 – Aquatic and leisure facilities
- Agrees with the proposed future provision
framework for aquatic and leisure facilities, noting:
o
that the local and regional
functions must be flexible so that they can be applied to all three types of
aquatic and leisure facilities, and account for any unique circumstances based
on an identified need or demand;
o
that further work be undertaken to
understand how decisions relating to destination aquatic and leisure facilities
would be applied, and how it might impact on local boards and their decision-making;
o
that when considering the Mayor’s
Proposal to move towards a more commercial approach to pool operations,
building capacity within the community and delivering positive outcomes is a
priority when considering the management of aquatic and leisure facilities.
Section 4.5 – Arts and culture facilities
·
Agrees with the future provision
for arts and culture facilities, noting:
o
in circumstances where an existing
facility cannot be retrofitted or become fit-for arts and culture purposes,
that a new arts and culture facility may still be considered to meet an
identified need or demand;
o
that further work be undertaken to
understand how decisions relating to destination arts and culture facilities
would be applied, and how that might impact on local boards and their
decision-making.
·
Section 5 – Action Plan
·
Recommends that local board plan
outcomes and initiatives be included as a factor to rank actions for:
·
existing community
facilities;investigating new community facilities. Recommends the following
local community facilities for inclusion on the:
o
‘Actions to investigate existing
community facilities’ list
§ 17R Bader Drive, Māngere
§ Māngere Bridge War Memorial Hall,
§ Māngere Bridge
§ Metro Theatre,
§ Māngere
East
§ Māngere Central Community Hall
§ Stage 3 of the Moana Nui-a-Kiwa upgrade.
- Agrees with the proposed business improvements,
in particular actions 63 and 64, as they are a common and consistent theme
in local board plan outcomes and initiatives.
Section 6 – Implementation
- Agrees with the proposed prioritisation criteria
for community facilities investment, as it provides a consistent,
coordinated and transparent approach to community facility planning with
the one exception, which is;
- Add an additional criterion to address historical
lack of investment in spatial areas, for the purposes of inclusion into
the prioritisation for investment and delivery.
