Purpose
1. Waitakere
Ranges Local Board would like to acknowledge Local Board member Denise Yates,
who worked tirelessly for the community, passed away on 23 January 2018, aged
77, following a short illness.
Executive summary
2. Denise
served on the Waitākere Community Board in the late 1990s, and was
elected to Waitākere City Council, serving from 2000 to 2004. She was
elected to the inaugural Waitākere Ranges Local Board in 2010, and
served as its first chair as part of the new Auckland Council. In the second
term of Auckland Council, Denise held the position of Waitākere Ranges
Local Board Deputy Chair, and served as a board member this current term. She
played a leading role on the local board in the arts, community events,
community facilities and libraries.
3. A
celebration of Denise’s life was held at Hoani Waititi Marae on
Saturday 27 January 2018.
4. Greg
Presland, Waitākere Ranges Local Board Chair, said: “Denise was
always energetic and passionate in everything that she did. She had a strong
moral compass and a clear set of principles that she worked under. She would
decide on what was right and then seek to achieve this result. Whether it was
rights for the LGBT community or workers’ rights, she stuck to her
principles and proudly championed their causes.
5. “She
was a passionate protector of the local environment and worked hard to ensure
that the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area Act was passed and its
principles supported.
“She also
enjoyed the human contact side of the role. She knew a huge number of people
in the local area and nothing was more enjoyable for her than meeting and
talking with people.
“My best wishes
go to Jo, Brenda, Mark, Odette, and all the other members of her
whānau.”

Small
Parks Improvements Project
File No.: CP2017/26907
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To
approve the prioritisation of capex projects being delivered within the Small
Park Improvements Project this financial year.
|
Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s
That the Waitākere Ranges
Local Board:
a) approve
the Waitākere Ranges Small Park Improvements Prioritised List of capex
projects outlined in Appendix A.
|
Horopaki / Context
2. This
project contributes towards the local board objective to provide community
spaces, parks and recreation facilities that meet local needs.
3. The
local board identified some local parks that were underutilised and funded an
activation programme in 2016 within these areas. Feedback was sought from the
public and local residents who participated in the programme on what would be
useful to encourage people into these spaces.
4. In
June 2017 the local board approved $25,000 to be used for small capital works
improvements in local parks.
5. In
September 2017 at a workshop with the local board and Parks Specialist a
prioritised list for small improvements projects was agreed and is outlined in
Appendix A.
6. The
list was reconfirmed at a more recent workshop held on 7 December that involved
Sport Waitakere and Community Waitakere.
Tātaritanga
me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice7. The
list of small parks improvement projects was compiled from information gained
at site visits with local board members, public feedback from the activation
programme, community input and local knowledge.
8. Two
local board workshops in 2017 discussed the outcomes from a number of site
visits with the local board, feedback from the public at the park activation
days the previous year and requests from community groups. A list of small
projects that could improve utilisation of the target parks was compiled and
discussed at the first workshop with the Parks Specialist. Further discussion
occurred at a second workshop with Community and Sport Waitākere
looking at additional projects developed from the initial community feedback.
9. Some
projects identified such as toilets, playgrounds and planting would either
require operational funding or were too large in scale to be able to be
considered for the small projects budget and were not included on the list.
Suggestions such as seating, drinking fountains and signage that support and
facilitate the usage of these small local parks were included.
10. The
allocated budget of $25,000 will not complete all projects on the list.
The projects were discussed and prioritised based on potential usage of the
asset, improvement to the profile and utilisation of the open space and level
of community support.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te
poari ā-rohe / Local impacts and local board views
11. The
local board discussed and agreed at two workshops that the list in Appendix A
is prioritised appropriately and should be priced and implemented accordingly.
12. The
local board has requested that assets previously removed from parks and stored,
such as seating, should be reused within this project wherever possible.
Tauākī
whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement13. Feedback
from Māori residents was included in the parks activation survey results,
although individual ethnicity data was not recorded. All resident feedback and
suggestions were considered as part of the prioritisation process.
14. A
list of projects in the Waitākere Local Board area was supplied to mana
whenua and no interest in this project was indicated from any Iwi except Te
Kawerau a Maki who indicated an overall interest in all Waitākere parks
projects.
15. A
copy of the attached list of projects has been supplied to Te Kawerau a Maki.
16. None
of the sites are identified as being of significance to mana whenua in the
Unitary Plan.
17. The
proposed works only involve the installation of small assets such as seating
and drinking fountains and are therefore all considered minor.
18. No
further engagement is planned with mana whenua.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
19. The
local board has allocated $25,000 from its locally driven initiative funding
for small capital improvements to local parks. The small parks
improvement project will be fully funded from this budget.
20. It
will not be possible to deliver all the improvement projects on the list this financial
year.
21. The
list has been prioritised and projects will be delivered in the order of
prioritisation starting with priority 1 and working down the list until all the
funding has been used.
22. Accurate
pricing will be obtained by Community Facilities once the local board has
approved the prioritisation list. The local board will be informed when final
costings are collated and confirmed.
23. Approximately
half the projects on the list will be delivered, subject to confirmed costings.
Where possible the reuse of park assets will be undertaken.
Ngā raru tūpono
/ Risks24. Should resource consents be required
for any projects this will incur additional costs and reduce the number of
assets installed.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
25. Community
Facilities will accurately cost the prioritised projects.
26. Community
Facilities will send a memo to the local board detailing costs and confirming
what projects are able to be completed once pricing is finalised.

Kaurilands Kindergarten
Incorporated
6. The
kindergarten holds a community lease entered into with the former Waitakere
City Council for total term of 10 years commencing 1 March 2008 and reaching
final expiry on 28 February 2018. Auckland
Council owns the building known as Kaurilands Hall.
7. The kindergarten was registered as an incorporated society on 15
August 1990. The kindergarten’s objectives are to:
· provide
quality early childhood education for children between the ages of two to six
· create
learning and teaching environment which is inviting and engaging for children
· work
in collaboration with staff and parents/whanau in order to operate, equip and
maintain the kindergarten
8. The kindergarten began operating from the Kaurilands Hall in 1958
and is an integral part of the local community. The kindergarten is licensed
for 40 children per session from two to six years and is situated within
walking distance of the local primary school. Sessions are available
morning and afternoon, Monday to Friday.
9. The kindergarten undertook an outdoor playground project in 2016
costing approximately $70,000. Sunshades were installed, a deck built and
the landscaping of a water run.
10. Although the kindergarten undertook the outdoor playground project,
the fixed play equipment is owned by Auckland Council. The kindergarten
has exclusive use of the playground during its hours of operation only.
Outside of these hours the playground is open to the public.
11. The kindergarten has provided financial accounts which indicate that
its funds are sufficient to meet its liabilities and are being managed
appropriately. The kindergarten has all necessary insurance cover, including
public liability insurance, in place.
12. At the expiry of a lease for a council owned building it is good
practice to review alternatives for the use of the premises. An
expression of interest process can be undertaken to gauge interest and best
use. However if the incumbent group is needed in the area and the group
is performing well, the Waitākere Ranges Local Board has the authority to grant a new lease to the
group without undergoing an expression of interest process.
Kaurilands Domain
13. The kindergarten is located on part of Kaurilands Domain described
as Part Lot 13 on Deposited Plan 10513 and shown marked “A” on SO
64746 comprising of 1080m². The domain is held by the Crown through
the Department of Conservation and vested in Auckland Council in trust as a
classified local purpose (community buildings) reserve and subject to the
Reserves Act 1977. The activities of the kindergarten align with the
reserve classification.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
14. Council staff sought the views of the local board at a workshop on 1 June 2017 who indicated
support for a new community lease to the kindergarten without the need for an
expression of interest process.
15. The
Waitākere Ranges Local Board is the allocated
authority to approve the granting of a renewal and variation of community
lease.
16. A
community outcomes plan aligned to the Waitakere Ranges Local Board Plan
outcomes is attached for approval. (Attachment B).
Māori impact statement
17. Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under
Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its broader legal obligations to Māori. The
council recognises these responsibilities are distinct from the Crown’s
Treaty obligations and fall within a local government Tāmaki Makaurau
context. These commitments are articulated in the council’s key strategic
