5. In considering the Strategic Business Plan, it should be noted that:
· many actions are already underway, including the reserve reclassification, FY2015/2016 renewals, customer service enhancements in the foyer, the business case for WiFi and the review of all programming
· some of the proposed actions require additional funding, which the local board can consider through its locally driven initiatives (LDI) budget allocation processes
· priority actions for 2016 are included in the plan
· priority actions for 2017 will be confirmed as part of the 2016/2017 Arts, Community & Events (ACE) Work Programme.
6. Staff will report progress against key performance measures and actions to the Manurewa Local Board through the standard quarterly reporting processes.

3. The FY2016/2017 Art Facility Renewals budget for Nathan Homestead is $189,060. To ensure renewals aligned with the long-term purpose of Nathan Homestead, the local board requested staff base the FY2016/2017 renewals work on the David Nathan Park and Homestead Strategic Business Plan.
4. Staff have now developed:
· a comprehensive list of Nathan Homestead and Theatre renewals and improvements (detailed in Attachment B). This list was workshopped with the local board in November 2015 and January 2016
· a detailed FY2016/2017 renewals work programme based the above workshops (priced by the Community Facilities Department and detailed in Attachment A).
5. Renewals that are unable to be funded by the FY2016/2017 Art Facility Renewals budget will be embedded within the Strategic Business Plan for future consideration. The local board can choose to fund these renewals, and the other identified capital improvements, through:
· the board’s annual locally driven initiatives (LDI) capex budgets, or
· capital works budgets provided for in the Community Facility Network Plan.
6. Nathan Homestead has been identified as “potentially earthquake prone” due to its age and construction. A detailed seismic assessment is scheduled within the next two years. Any seismic upgrade works required will be funded by the Governing Body.

Additional 2016-2017 local board funding allocation to support implementation of the David Nathan Park and Homestead business plan
File No.: CP2016/04132
Purpose
1. To seek allocation of local board budget to support the implementation of the David Nathan Park and Homestead Strategic Business Plan.
Executive Summary
2. At the special meeting on 17 March 2016 the Manurewa Local Board will consider the David Nathan Park and Homestead Strategic Business Plan for final approval. The three-year business plan takes a whole of site approach and sets out priorities and actions to help achieve the mission, vision and objectives for the site.
3. Many of the actions are already underway or scheduled for the next and future financial years. Others require additional funding which the local board can consider through the allocation of its Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) operational (opex) and capital expenditure (capex) budgets. The Manurewa Local Board currently has unallocated opex funding which it could allocate to Nathan Homestead. It also has the local board LDI capex budget which could be allocated, although it has previously indicated that it would prefer to keep the remaining $851,105 until after the local body elections in October this year.
4. Through a series of workshops to discuss the future of David Nathan Park and Homestead, the Manurewa Local Board expressed support for actions that would improve community use and help secure the future of the homestead as “a place where local people can gather, play, learn and be inspired” (from the Nathan Homestead mission statement). The business plan project team was asked to identify those unfunded actions that would be most likely to improve visitor numbers or enhance visitor experience.
5. The local board discussed these at a workshop on 25 February. Members present at the workshop recommended that the local board consider the following actions for funding in the current financial year, in order to progress and implement the business plan:
i) Signage and way finding through the site - $30,000 (Opex)
ii) Develop a reserve management plan - $10,000 (Opex)
iii) Develop a new signature events programme - $20,000 (Opex)
iv) Replace carpet on main stairs with a stair runner - $30,000 (Capex)
v) Display shelves, main entrance - $7,500 (Capex)
vi) Reconfigure Leisure and main office, and repurpose - $25,000 (Capex)
vii) Upgrade upstairs kitchen to a shared kitchen/service area - $15,000 (Capex)
viii) Install heating and air conditioning in the theatre - $30,000 (Capex)
6. Staff will report back on the progress of these projects through the Arts, Culture and Events monthly portfolio catch ups and the quarterly reporting process.
That the Manurewa Local Board: a) allocate $10,000 from the Local Events Fund, $10,000 from the Facilities Partnerships Fund and $10,000 from Local Community Grants for Nathan Homestead signage and way finding. b) allocate $10,000 from the Facility Partnership Programme to develop a reserve management plan for David Nathan Reserve. c) allocate $10,000 from each of the Community Arts Programmes and Local Events Fund budget lines to develop a new signature events programme for Nathan Homestead. d) allocate up to $107,500 from its local driven initiatives (LDI) capital expenditure (capex) budget to: i) replace carpet on the main stairs with a stair runner - $30,000 ii) remove existing display shelves in the main entrance - $7,500 iii) reconfigure the leisure and main office, and repurpose - $25,000 iv) upgrade upstairs kitchen to a shared kitchen/service area - $15,000 v) install heating and air conditioning in the theatre - $30,000 |
