Community Facilities Network Plan

 

Resolution number MT/2015/89

MOVED by Chairperson SD Randall, seconded by Deputy Chairperson CL Makoare:  

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)         supports the draft Community Facilities Network Plan

b)        supports the inclusion of the following items in the associated draft Action Plan

i)       In 1.1 – Strategic improvements:

1.         Action 1: the proposed operational integration of the Onehunga Library and Onehunga Community centres

ii)      In 1.3 – Actions to be investigated:

1.      Action 67: The investigation of improvements to Glen Innes hall, and possible closer connections to Te Oro, and support its identification as high priority noting that this is also specifically supported in the current Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Plan

2.      Action 68: The investigation of opportunities to respond to the identified need for community space in the Sylvia Park area and support its identification as high priority

c)         requests that the Governing Body make the following changes to the Action Plan:

i)       In 1.3 – Actions to be investigated:

1.         Action 69: The provision of Library services in Sylvia Park/Mt Wellington – The board would like to see this action combined with Action 68 with the new action being a high priority. Library services are a high priority for this area but are not shown as such given the figure for floor area used in the model for Panmure although the majority of this is not service space

2.         Action 71: Investigation to resolve the future of lagoon stadium – the board requests that this investigation be progressed as a matter of priority in 2015/16 as it is a network priority and in light of advice the board has received regarding the building’s condition and the impact this is having on users and the Panmure Squash Club which leases part of the building. 

d)      notes that the discontinuation of the Facilities Partnership Fund reduces the board’s ability to address a number of these identified gaps and opportunities, and potentially limits the opportunities to utilise external to council funding sources.
