Options for the Refurbishment and Management of Awhi House, Smith’s Avenue Reserve, Papakura

File No.: CP2015/24026

Purpose

1. To provide the Papakura Local Board with options for the refurbishment and management of Awhi House, Smith’s Avenue, Papakura.

Executive Summary

2. Awhi House (also formerly known as Pikorua House), an Auckland Council community facility, is a small, wooden cottage built circa 1960’s for residential purposes. It is situated on Smith’s Avenue Reserve. Smith’s Avenue Community Hall and netball courts are located on this same reserve.

3. The building was moved onto the site and operated successfully for some time as a local community hub, providing a space from which several agencies could connect with and serve residents of the area. With the withdrawal of some of those agencies, there was a gradual loss of impetus from the initiative and by 2015 the building is no longer performing its function as a community facility.

4. The building was not designed as a community facility. Through the wear and tear of use over the years and some abuse that has occurred more recently, the building is in poor condition and will require capital investment and refurbishment before it can be reopened as a community facility.

5. There are relatively few facilities within Papakura and no facility providing the types of programmes and activities that are typical of community centres, houses and hubs present in other urban areas within Auckland. The 2014 Papakura Local Board Plan identifies the importance of creating local community hubs and notes a priority on improving the facilities at Smith’s Avenue reserve.

6. In considering options for the future operation of Awhi House, staff have assumed a role in which it will serve a catchment that is within a 2km radius of the facility, with a focus on providing activities and experiences that are aligned to identified local board priority areas. For example

· Promoting health and wellbeing

· Providing activities for youth and youth development

· Celebrating the diversity and heritage of the area

· Creating connections within the local community

7. Two options are considered for the refurbishment of the current building, both of which will successfully re-establish the community facility. Staff recommend option 1, which involves spending $57,000 of capital to repair and partially refurbish the building to a standard that will enable it to withstand light to moderate use as a community facility. It is anticipated that this investment will extend its life by a further ten years. This option represents the optimum investment required to recommence community development activities from this site and recognises that it is a practical place to begin, whilst the community considers its long term ambitions for this site.

8. Three management options are considered. Each of them has the potential to provide some services and experiences expected of a community hub. Staff recommend option 2, which involves spending up to $100,000 of opex per annum to enable a community-led community hub, managed and operated by a local community organisation or group. The ongoing funding will be used to support the operating overheads of the enterprise as well as resourcing the programmes and activities that would operate from and around the facility.

9. Experience shows that the best way to assure success of community-led ventures like these is to “resource them for success” and not assume that third party funding will be available to support routine costs. In parallel, it is preferable to invest in the development and growth of the entity itself. Staff recommend that further resourcing be made available to support mentoring and capability building with the selected group.

10. Subject to formal decision making, staff could commence the implementation of this approach prior to January 2016.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) Confirms its intention to reactivate Awhi House as a community hub, providing activities and experiences to the neighbourhood in which it is located with a priority focus on

i) Promoting health and wellbeing

ii) Providing activities for youth and youth development

iii) Celebrating the diversity and heritage of the area

iv) Creating connections within the local community

b) Confirms that it will invest up to $57,000 of capital renewal funds, to repair and partially refurbish Awhi House to a standard that will enable it to withstand light to moderate use as a community facility. Noting that this investment should sustain the life of the building for a further ten years.

c) Confirms its intention to seek a suitable community group or organisation to manage and operate the facility and request staff commence an expression of interest process to explore local interest and capability.

d) Agrees that an amount of $100,000 per annum be made available, from the Papakura Local Board LDI budget, to resource the management and operation of the facility and agree in principle to making further resources available to help develop the capability and capacity of the successful group as appropriate.

Comments

Alignment with Council Strategic Direction

11. One of the actions in the recently finalised Community Facilities Network Plan is to “Investigate opportunities to improve the existing facilities in Papakura, including Massey Park Grandstand, Elizabeth Campbell Hall, Takanini Hall, Papakura (Sir Edmond Hillary) Library meeting room and Smiths Avenue Clubs rooms, Hawkins Theatre, Papakura arts gallery”. The driver for this work is whether the facilities are “fit for purpose” and “performing”.

Background

12. Awhi House (also formerly known as Pikorua House), an Auckland Council community facility, is a small, wooden cottage built circa 1960’s. It is situated on Smith’s Avenue Reserve, which is a 1.5 ha recreation reserve held in trust by the council on behalf of the Crown. Smith’s Avenue Community Hall and netball courts are located on the same reserve.

13. The house operated successfully for a period of time as a local community facility, providing a base from which agencies could connect with and serve the local community. These activities have now ceased, the facility is not being used and the building has deteriorated.

14. Staff have been concerned that the nature and condition of the building and its vulnerability to vandalism and abuse limit its potential as a community facility and may constrain opportunities to establish viable community programmes from it.

15. However, there is keen community interest in the building and the local board has requested advice from staff to assist in understanding what is possible and feasible to achieve from the existing set-up. Building condition inspections were completed in April and August 2015. The findings of the August inspection are included (Attachment A) and confirm the property opinion that the building has reached the end of its economic life.

16. A range of cost estimates for repair and refurbishment indicate that this work could cost in the region of $57,000. Quotes were sought in September 2015 based on a reduced scope of work. These quotes from DTZ, Spotless, Cushman and Wakefield and Downers are contained in the confidential agenda as they are commercially sensitive.

17. A key initiative in the Strong, Safe and Healthy Communities outcome in the 2014 Papakura Local Board Plan is to improve Smith’s Avenue reserve as part of an initiative to provide multi-purpose community hubs. This report therefore considers the future of Awhi House in this context and discusses refurbishment and management options premised upon the idea that the future facility would function as a community hub.

18. A community hub would aim to serve its community by providing a range of programmes, activities and experiences, tailored to meet the known needs and interests of that community. Typically the activity would be developed with and for members of the community, providing direct and indirect opportunities for connection, participation and leadership amongst the target audience. The local board plan has identified several local priorities through engagement with the residents of Papakura. Some of those which one might expect the community hub to build its programmes and activities around are as follows;

· Promoting health and wellbeing

· Providing activities for youth and youth development

· Celebrating the diversity and heritage of the area

· Creating connections within the local community

An illustrative programme is included at Attachment F.

Demographic Data

19. The likely core catchment of Awhi House extends across a 2 kilometres radius. An analysis of this catchment shows us that in 2013 there were 29,706 residents within this area.

20. The make up of the catchment shows considerable ethnic diversity.

21. Of the ten census units that are partially or fully contained within the catchment area, eight have a deprivation index score of 9 or 10. This being the highest score of the deprivation index which ranges from 1 to 10.

22. Smith’s Avenue reserve is therefore located within a relatively densely populated area with a diverse community likely to be experiencing a range of needs and challenges.

Network Analysis

23. Awhi House is co-located on this reserve with Smith’s Avenue community hall and netball courts. With a footprint of about 52 square metres, the house is small, even when compared to other community houses within the wider council network that are similarly converted residences intended to operate at a neighbourhood level.

24. As the building retains its residential layout, rooms are very small, most suitable for small group, short session work or one-to-one clinic style meetings. This is a constraint to establishing a varied practice. The proximity of the netball courts and community hall provide extra capacity and a different style and size of space that should be utilised as part of a more integrated approach on this site.

Options analysis

Refurbishment options

25. Attachment G summarises the options that are available when considering the refurbishment of the facility and identifies the associated advantages and disadvantages.

26. Option 1, which involves spending $57,000 of capital to repair and partially refurbish the building to a standard that will enable it to withstand light to moderate use as a community facility. This option will bring the building back to useable standard relatively quickly. It is anticipated that this investment will extend its life by a further ten years.

27. Option 2 seeks to invest the same amount of money to achieve similar outcomes but proposes that the work be undertaken under the leadership of a community venture, to be established. In this scenario the monies could be used to repair and refurbish the existing building or to contribute to the cost of a replacement building. There is more risk associated with this option and it will take longer to see an improvement on site.

28. Staff believe option 1 is preferable as it represents the optimum investment required to recommence community development activities from this site and recognises that it is a practical place to begin, whilst the community considers its long term ambitions for this site.

Management options

29. Attachment G summarises the options that are available when considering the management and operation of the facility and identifies the associated advantages and disadvantages.

30. Option 1 involves establishing a council-led community hub practice. It will require ongoing operational funding of about $100,000 per annum to cover the staff costs ($65,000), programming costs ($20,000), and overheads ($15,000). Multiple groups and individuals would have both regular and casual access to the space and to any programmes provided with the precinct (hub hall and open space together). This option would provide for straightforward managerial control and clear governance oversight control, helping to ensure that start up issues are managed and the practice is established as intended.

31. Option 2 involves establishing a community-led community hub practice. It is assumed that it will require a similar level of operation funding to option 1; operational funding of about $100,000 per annum to cover the staff costs ($65,000), programming costs ($20,000), and overheads ($15,000). The intent would be to establish the same community focused practice, providing activities designed to serve all elements of the community. A community-led venture, derived from within the area it serves, might find it easier to connect with the neighbourhood and build a sense of identity more quickly than a council-led venture.

32. Option 3 involves establishing a community-led venture on site, by using the mechanism of a community lease. Such an arrangement would typically not require opex investment as well as the access to the subsidised accommodation, though the board may wish to provide a grant to support specific activities. The intent would be to establish a more focused practice by working in partnership with a lessee which has proven expertise in one of the local board priority areas. For example, possibly seeking a provider who could provide health / wellbeing focused activities. Naturally, the span of influence even from a very successful operation would be less than for a well-run community hub.

33. Option 2 is preferable as the benefits of having a locally representative group leading the establishment of the new community hub are likely to be considerable. An expression of interest process would need to be developed carefully to ensure the selected group is considered locally appropriate and has the mandate and confidence of the community it would serve and support.

34. Experience shows that the best way to assure success of community-led ventures like these is to “resource them for success” and not assume that third party funding will be available to support routine costs. In parallel it is preferable to invest in the development and growth of the entity itself. Staff recommend that further resourcing be made available to support mentoring and capability building with the selected group.

Consideration

Local Board Views and Implications

35. The split classification of the reserve has been resolved. The classification to enable activity from both recreation and community use is still in progress but the management models for Awhi House in this report can still be considered.

36. Any public consultation and Mana Whenua consultation required will commence, once the local board has decided on the options in this report.

37. The current allocated budget for capex renewals is $103,389. This has an immediate implication for the other proposed renewals work. Re-prioritisation will need to be considered as $57,000 proposed for the Awhi House refurbishment will be coming from the capital renewals fund. Following the decision by the local board on this report the capex advisor will be able to suggest renewals priorities.

38. Staff acknowledge some local board members would prefer to explore a community-led refurbishment project and there is a view that this could be a more cost effective way of bringing the building back into use. Whilst there are examples of successful community-led refurbishment projects, the success is generally based upon working with highly motivated, established groups who have the capability to undertake the work and project management required. In this case, there is no such group ready to lead this initial stage. Given that the future of this facility is dependent on a successful refurbishment of the building staff suggest the works be completed in-house.

Maori Impact Statement

39. According to 2013 census 31 per cent (8583) of residents in the Papakura area identify themselves as Maori. Maori, along with other residents, should have the opportunity to benefit from and participate in the practice of a contemporary community hub.

Implementation

40. Subject to formal decision making, staff could commence the implementation of this approach prior to January 2016. It is assumed that implementation will be supported by the relevant local strategic broker from within the recently established Community Empowerment Unit within council.

LOCAL BOARD ACKNOWLEDGEMENT		We would be happy to acknowledge the Auckland Council Support via our social media, website and newsletters. We also encourage local councillors to attend local events.
ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS		40	AUDIENCE SIZE		35
MAORI OUTCOMES		Yes - Communicare has a Maori Health Policy where Communicare aims to ensure that Maori feel fully welcome and have a sense of belonging while they are our guests, so our own services need to be responsive to the needs of Maori people. Our services need to be considerate of Maori custodianship regarding their rites/rights, needs and interests. Where ever possible we aim to create an environment which ensures the wairua (spiritual), hinengaro (psychological) and tiana (physical) wellbeing of the tangata mauiui and their Whanau.
ACCESSIBLE FOR DISABLED		Yes - All of our venues cater for wheelchair and walker access- we are conscious of mobility, mental and emotional challengers for all members with disability. These can range from mental health through to physical disability, including early stages of dementia and those recovering from disease and illness such as stroke. We also have to be aware of diet requirements and do not cater to any extreme toileting or late stages of dementia due to health and safety.
PROJECT RATIONALE		The daily attendance fee of $5 and yearly subscription fee of $15 does not cover the rent for the year as well as food and money required for crafts, games and activities. Without having a venue we would not be able to offer a sheltered and warm environment for our members. Without cooking facilities we would not be able to supply morning tea and lunches to our members. Having been established for over 55 years there is a definite need to provide these services to the Auckland Community.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES		The community benefits are an involved and connected community, treasuring and enjoying the local environment- actively improving the quality of life for the elderly and disabled therefore our community is healthy and active. Having a shared sense of celebration through events at the centre. Valuing cultural diversity and celebrating this locally which is locally accessible to the local community. We always encourage feedback and will have bi annual evaluations. We also keep statistics on attendance and monitor success.
LOCAL BOARD PRIORITIES
PAPAKURA LOCAL BOARD PRIORITIES	1. provide opportunities for growing and eating healthy food 2. contribute to the economic and cultural attractiveness of Papakura town centre 3. promote Papakura as a destination for sporting competitions and events Our Communicare Centre in Papakura keeps both the elderly and disabled members and volunteers involved and connected to their local community through crafts, games and activities and the occasional outings. This participation and stimulation enables them to keep active and healthy and hopefully living independently within their locality. We also value and celebrate cultural diversity in our centres and this is where we share cultural celebrations reflecting the diversity of Papakura. Kiwiana is alive through language and events like making Anzac Day cards for example allowing people from all backgrounds to be involved. Improving the quality of life for elderly.

PROJECT SUMMARY
PROJECT TITLE		MINI BRIDGE (Build Respect Inspire Dreams Goals Expectations) Programmes
PROJECT SUMMARY		MINI BRIDGE (same format as BRIDGE programme) is individualized to meet the identified needs of the group; with the smaller numbers we can be more flexible with the teaching material to meet the specific needs of the group. They are at high risk of expulsion. (Maximum of 6 girls or boys per group). Purpose: The mentoring enable students to change inappropriate behaviour, become motivated towards and understanding the importance of education for their future, setting realistic goals to be achieved, by gaining a healthier view of themselves and developing positive social skills Format: 8 x 1hr group workshops at school followed by a day’s outing. We visit with family/whanau prior to course commencement to seek their signed permission and support.
FUNDING FOR		Mentor, resource and admin/report costs to run two Mini Bridge programmes for 6 at-risk young people in each programme. Our specialized support can reduce truancy, increase student respect and improve academic results. Our involvement brings at risk families closer to the community and helps them feel safer and more able to function well. The young person is referred to the programme by the school that has assessed that the young person has significant problems of engagement, attendance, and/or behaviour and they would benefit from participating in the programme.

MAORI OUTCOMES		Yes - The young people who are referred to the New Foundations Trust programmes are 80% from Maori families, 15% are Pacifica with the remaining 5% being other nationalities including European New Zealanders. NFT Mentors have extensive experience working with Maori young people and their families and they understand the importance of being culturally aware and responding appropriately.
ACCESSIBLE FOR DISABLED		Not applicable -
PROJECT RATIONALE		Following the successful programme in Manurewa and the initial Mini BRIDGE in Papakura (still underway) NFT have been asked to continue the programme in 2016 to address the needs of other young people that are viewed as “at risk.” They are vulnerable to truancy, suspensions or exclusions, gang connections, substance abuse, and usually come from high-needs families. NFT has an excellent record of turning lives around however our response is dependent on receiving the funding received. Our work helps create stronger connections between schools, families and support groups and sense of unity that encourages struggling young people and their families.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES		We turn a high risk time into an opportunity for the young person to effect positive change in their lives. Our specialised support reduces truancy, suspensions and exclusions and is proven as students remain in school longer. Family/whanau are included, supported and involved resulting in home becoming safer. Community is improved as youth crime and destructive behaviour is reduced, enhancing community safety and wellbeing. NFT monitors school attendance. Improvements in self-esteem and respect are evaluated through assessments at the beginning and end of the programme with a written outcome report for the Principal and Board of Trustees.

PROJECT SUMMARY
PROJECT TITLE		STEPS one-on-one mentoring
PROJECT SUMMARY		To provide one-on-one mentoring to five individuals, viewed as high risk, dis-engaged from education intermediate/secondary students in the Papakura area, help them willingly re-engage with their education and discover their potential. NFT Mentor works one-on-one with them for one hour a week for 10 weeks to help them meet and set goals, creating a pathway back into education. Sessions are held privately at school/home and we individualize the programme to help the young person building their self-esteem and confidence by identifying their strengths, abilities and interests, and potential career paths. We also challenge them to address underlying attitudes and behaviours, to set goals and pursue them. Referral comes from schools, CYFS, MOE, Strengthening Families, or community agencies
FUNDING FOR		The mentoring cost to undertake the STEPS programme with 5 young people in Papakura. The Mentor visits the family/whanau to build trust and a shared commitment to the programme including exploring the education/training options for the young person. An individual plan is developed with the young person. We continue to provide mentoring support until the young person is settled back into school and demonstrating a commitment to both their education and healthy life choices. The programme targets Individual excluded students and long-term truants with the objective of helping them willingly re-engage with their education and discover their potential.

PROJECT RATIONALE		Demand for our programmes is increasing as people see the results we’re getting. Requests are being received to extend STEPS programme to intermediate/primary schools. Participation in STEPS in the wider South Auckland area increased from 22 in 2012 to 50 in 2015 and growing. By intervening at the right time for a student we can get them to re-engage with education enabling them to develop a sense of personal purpose. The schools are requesting the STEPS one-on-one mentoring programme to address the needs of the high number of youth in Papakura that are viewed as “at risk.”
EXPECTED OUTCOMES		We turn a high risk time into an opportunity for the young person to effect positive change in their lives. Our specialised support reduces truancy, suspensions and exclusions and is proven as students remain in school longer. Family/whanau are included, supported and involved resulting in home becoming safer. Community is improved as youth crime and destructive behaviour is reduced, enhancing community safety and wellbeing. NFT monitors school attendance. Improvements in self-esteem and respect are evaluated through assessments at the beginning and end of the programme with a written outcome report for the Principal and Board of Trustees

PROJECT SUMMARY
PROJECT TITLE		"Safe for Life" workshops
PROJECT SUMMARY		Young people experience disproportionate harm related to their drinking, including physical injury, violence and sexual assaults, and Safe for Life explores issues around alcohol in a non-judgemental and supportive environment. By offering more workshops to more people we are improving knowledge and awareness of these issues. The messages delivered via the workshops can be taken away by the participants and shared with friends, family and other contacts. These workshops target15-30 year olds through schools and community settings.
FUNDING FOR		We are requesting funding that would cover the entire cost of delivering two workshops in the Papakura Local Board area.
PROJECT LOCATION		TBC - we will offer it to schools we work with through our Future Leaders and Money Savvy programs (including Papakura High School). If we receive this grant, we would like to be able to offer it within the Papakura Local Board area to the wider community at a community centre or hall for example.

ACCESSIBLE FOR DISABLED		Yes - Any venue we hold the workshops at will be required to be accessible for people with disabilities.
PROJECT RATIONALE		In New Zealand young people and Maori and Pacific peoples experience the highest levels of alcohol-related harm. Before launching the pilot programme, we interviewed over 100 women and agencies in Auckland, and alcohol issues were commonly raised as an area of growing concern. We responded by incorporating safe alcohol messaging into the Safe for Life workshops to raise awareness around alcohol consumption, particularly around high risk drinking behaviours, and to improve alcohol-related health literacy, for example, how to avoid acute alcohol-related harm.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES		Safe for Life is taught in a fun and enjoyable manner, with alcohol messaging embedded so participants get multiple benefits. More young people will be more aware of the potential dangers of excessive alcohol consumption. They will be armed with strategies to deploy if they find themselves in a compromised situation, and some skills around how to de-escalate potentially harmful situations. Friends, family and wider communities will benefit as workshop participants take their learnings home with them. We are confident that the messaging around staying safe with alcohol will make a tangible difference in the lives of many people.

PROJECT SUMMARY
PROJECT TITLE		Food for Kids
PROJECT SUMMARY		The Food for Kids programme provides healthy food for children who would otherwise go without. Regular distributions of food can be given out by teachers at any time to protect children from the stress and anxiety that comes from experiencing constant food insecurity.
FUNDING FOR		We seek funding to assist with the purchase of food for this programme. Food items include peaches, baked beans, scroggin, muesli bars, spreads such as peanut butter and honey - and bread is provided with support from Tip Top.
PROJECT LOCATION		In the 8 KidsCan partner schools in Papakura

LOCAL BOARD ACKNOWLEDGEMENT		Acknowledgement is to be made in the KidsCan quarterly newsletter as well as the Annual Report.
ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS		2500	AUDIENCE SIZE			N/A
MAORI OUTCOMES		Yes - KidsCan assists many Maori children in the Papakura region (for example the ethnic breakdown of Papakura Normal Primary School is close to 60% Maori). Ensuring these children have food to eat means that they can get the most out of their education and improve their opportunities in life.
ACCESSIBLE FOR DISABLED		Yes - Food for Kids programme is available to all needy children in these low decile schools - regardless of any disability.
PROJECT RATIONALE		Partner schools in the Papakura region wrote on their application form that children at their school would benefit from the Food for Kids programme with better attendance and engagement in class, many parents don't send their children to school when they have no food at home, a large number of students don't have breakfast or lunch and spend the whole day at school having eaten nothing since the day before. There is a lack of finances in the homes, many single parent families and large numbers of beneficiaries.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES		A Massey University study undertaken in 2010 demonstrated the following outcomes for children taking part in our programmes: reduced anger, reduced theft and fighting in the playground, improved attention in class, increased participation, increased attendance and self-worth. The findings from this study have been confirmed time and time again through feedback we get from our schools.
LOCAL BOARD PRIORITIES
PAPAKURA LOCAL BOARD PRIORITIES	2. help our young people to contribute prosper and thrive 3. provide opportunities for growing and eating healthy food Community well-being and in particular the well-being of children is extremely important to KidsCan. By running our programmes through schools we are encouraging disadvantaged children to attend school, improving their educational outcomes and allowing them the greatest opportunity to reach their full potential in life. This leads to a happier community with more educated young people. Our programmes are proven to reduce anger, theft and violence - supporting youth who may be at risk can change lives and help break the poverty cycle!

PROJECT RATIONALE		Many families have been approaching us for the last 20 years for help to deal with the problems of Family violence & it is evident that there is a greater need to educate and create awareness amongst our people to deal with the problems. In South Asian cultures, family issues are rarely discussed outside, psychologists and psychiatrists are almost never consulted except in extreme crises, many suffer in silence due to fear of loss of privacy, doubt they can be helped. The ones who are unable to use community resources for support often become locked into domestic abuse,violence,abandonment,denial of family privileges and sometimes, homelessness.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES		Jaagriti, (Awakening) Project aims to create community awareness about the needs of South Asian Families subjected to violence and oppression through its programs and community outreach. Our purpose is to encourage South Asian Families to raise their voice against their oppression, physical, mental and sexual abuse, family violence and to have a better living in the society. We have handled many cases for the past 20 years and we invite feedback and ask personal changes experienced by the participants.
