Divestment recommendation - 2 Wiremu Street, Balmoral

Resolution number AE/2016/71

MOVED by Deputy Chairperson GJ Fryer, seconded by Member H Arlington:

That the Albert-Eden Local Board:

a) Considers that there has not been adequate assessment of community facility needs, in particular buildings for lease, within the Albert-Eden Local Board area.

b) Notes that the Community Facilities Network Plan does not address the provision of leased accommodation and requests that the Community and Social Policy Unit undertakes this work as part of its 2016/2017 work programme.

c) Notes that in response to advertisement of its two most recent buildings for lease the Board has received over 26 worthy expressions of interest, which has resulted in 24 community groups without a home.

d) Notes that the Board’s policy for community leases is to require community groups to share, and it has pursed this concertedly, and the Board has decreased the lease terms to a 3 year term with one right of renewal with the express intention of getting more groups to share the leased facilities we have.

e) Notes that in spite of this demonstrated need for more leased accommodation in Albert-Eden, the Community Places Team did not pursue an expression of interest with Panuku Development Auckland for the retention of 2 Wiremu Street, Balmoral.

f) Opposes Panuku Development Auckland’s recommendation to the Finance and Performance Committee to dispose of 2 Wiremu Street, Balmoral being of an estate in fee simple comprising approximately 726m² more or less being part Lot 39-40 Deposited Plan 4347 contained in certificate of title NA207/106.

g) Recommends that the Finance and Performance Committee transfer 2 Wiremu Street, Balmoral from a non-service to a service property, as expeditiously as possible, which will enable the Board to partly address the concerns noted above.
