Greater Wellsford District Sport and Recreation Plan
File No.: CP2018/06808
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To receive the Greater Wellsford District Sport and Active Recreation Plan.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. In November 2017 the Rodney Local Board commissioned the preparation of a community sport recreation plan for the Wellsford area.
3. The Greater Wellsford District Sport and Active Recreation Plan (the “Plan”) was completed in March 2018.
4. The Plan is intended to be a community-owned document, rather than local board-owned. The key element to its success will be ongoing engagement of local sport and recreation groups and community members. The Wellsford Sport and Recreation Collective is an appropriate entity to lead the community engagement.
5. The Plan specifically acknowledges that no financial support from any funder is guaranteed; and, individual projects or initiatives included in the plan will require feasibility and business case work before progressing.
6. Projects arising from the Plan will need individual planning and consideration. Where required, local board consideration will be addressed on a case by case basis.
Horopaki / Context
7. The Rodney Local Board Plan 2014 set out a key initiative to “design and plan for the upgrade and expansion of indoor sports facilities at Centennial Park, Wellsford, in partnership with the community”.
8. In June 2016 the local board allocated $20,000 (RODPC/2016/39) to “partner with community to design the upgrade of indoor facilities at Centennial Park”.
9. A needs analysis of the initiative identified sufficient provision of indoor sports facilities in the Wellsford area to meet current and predicted future demand. It was identified that provision of additional indoor sports space would not an efficient way to increase participation in sport and recreation.
10. A change of approach was supported by Wellsford Sport and Recreation Collective, to develop a community-led sport and recreation plan focussing on increasing participation in sport and recreation in the wider Wellsford district.
11. The Greater Wellsford District Sport and Active Recreation Plan was developed with the Wellsford Sport and Recreation Collective and was completed in March 2018 (Attachment A).
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
12. The Plan analyses current sport and recreation provision against current and predicted future sport and recreation needs. Challenges and opportunities facing sport and recreation groups in Wellsford are identified, and a range of potential projects are offered to meet them in order to increase participation in sport and recreation.
13. The Plan is intended to be a living document for the Wellsford community to guide their discussion, collaboration, advocacy and planning of sport and recreation initiatives. It is best viewed as a community-owned plan.
14. Wellsford Sport and Recreation Collective is an appropriate entity to lead and coordinate implementation and regular review of the Plan.
15. The process of developing the Plan has been a catalyst for increased communication and collaboration between sport and recreation groups in the community, via the Wellsford Sport and Recreation Collective. Successful implementation of the Plan will require ongoing community engagement with the Plan and the Wellsford Sport and Recreation Collective.
16. The Plan is intended to provide a platform for the Wellsford community to advocate for its shared sport and recreation priorities, presenting a united voice to potential funders and supporters. The collaboration required to present a united voice will be key to success of the Plan, and would be a significant legacy benefit.
17. The Plan identifies a number of potential projects from which the community needs to decide its priorities. The Wellsford Sport and Recreation Collective has begun this discussion with sport and recreation groups, and will lead the advocacy for these priority projects in due course.
18. The local board may have a role in supporting individual projects as they arise from the Plan. Local board consideration of each project will be on a case by case basis addressed in their respective reports. Some projects identified in the plan are local board initiatives already underway (for example: Rodney Greenways Plan; youth focussed park improvements at Wellsford War Memorial Park). Progress on these projects will contribute to achieving the outcomes of the plan: increased participation in sport and recreation.
19. The Plan specifically acknowledges that no financial support from any funder is guaranteed and individual projects or initiatives included in the Plan will require feasibility and business case work before progressing.

Local impacts and local board views
20. No detrimental local impacts are anticipated to arise from the local board receiving the Plan.
21. Ongoing community collaboration to implement the Plan may be encouraged by the local board demonstrating support for the Plan, or individual projects identified in the Plan.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
22. There are no particular impacts on Māori, relative to the wider community, which arise from the local board receiving the Plan.
23. Future development of projects from the Plan will include Māori engagement and local board of consideration of Māori outcomes where applicable.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
24. There are no financial implications directly from receiving the Plan.
25. The Plan specifically acknowledges that it does not represent a guarantee of funding.
26. Future financial implications may flow from implementing individual projects included in the Plan, but these will be subject to local board consideration as they arise.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
27. There is a risk that projects identified in the Plan will not be progressed.
28. This risk is affected by the level of engagement and collaboration from the Wellsford community to advocate and implement the Plan; lower engagement increases the risk that projects will not progress. For example: low engagement and collaboration may undermine project fundraising, further exacerbating the risk of no progress.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
29. Staff will liaise with Wellsford Sport and Recreation Collective regarding implementation of the Plan and provide updates to the local board.

Kumeu/Huapai indoor facility feasibility study
File No.: CP2018/06815
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To receive the Kumeu/Huapai indoor facility feasibility study dated August 2017.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
1. The Kumeu/Huapai indoor facility feasibility study was completed in late August 2017.
2. Although work on the project has progressed, the feasibility study was not reported to the local board at the time.
3. The feasibility study is being reported now to complete accountability to the local board.
4. The feasibility study found that an indoor multisport facility at Huapai Domain could be feasible if conditions were met to support the facilities revenue base, and that further detailed planning will be required to refine cost estimates.
Horopaki / Context
5. In June 2015 the local board allocated $20,000 to undertake a needs assessment for a multi-sport indoor facility at Huapai Domain (RD/2015/81). The report advised that population growth indicated that a multisport facility would be required in approximately 10 years, but the opportunity to leverage a significant financial contribution from Kumeu Racquets would justify progressing a multisport development ahead of predicted growth.
6. In June 2016 the local board allocated $20,000 to undertake a feasibility study on a multisport facility at Huapai Domain (RODPC/2016/39).
7. The Kumeu/Huapai indoor facility feasibility study was developed by Visitor Solutions Limited with local sport and recreation stakeholders and was completed in late August 2017. The feasibility study was not formally reported to the local board at the time.
8. In June 2017 the local board allocated $30,000 to progress planning and prepare a business case for a multisport indoor facility at Huapai Domain (RODPC/2017/13). This work is likely to continue into the 2018/2019 financial year following the decisions on the Long-term Plan 2018-2028.
9. The feasibility study informed the local board’s One Local Initiative submission to the Long-term Plan in November 2017.
10. The feasibility study is being formally reported now to ensure accountability to the local board is completed.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
11. The Kumeu/Huapai indoor facility feasibility study indicated that such a facility could be feasible provided certain conditions were met which would support the revenue base including, for example: a critical mass of fee paying members, a possible annual operating subsidy from council and a pay-for-play social sport programme.
12. The preliminary operational budget presented in the feasibility study is necessarily based on estimates and assumptions. Further work is required to define the scope of the facility, confirm ownership and governance models, formalise partnerships and investments, before more accurate business modelling can be completed.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me
ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views
13. There are no particular local impacts arising from the local board accepting the Kumeu / Huapai indoor court facility feasibility study.
14. Potential future development of the facility may have implications for the local community. These will be addressed in future reports as they arise.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
15. There are no particular impacts on Maori, relative to the wider community, which arise from the local Board accepting the Kumeu/Huapai indoor court facility feasibility study.
16. Potential future development of the facility may have implications for Maori and the Auckland Plan-identified Maori outcomes. These will be addressed in future reports as they arise.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
17. There are no financial implications directly from the local board accepting the Kumeu/ Huapai indoor court facility feasibility study.
18. The feasibility study acknowledges that it does not guarantee any future funding or commitment from the local board, Auckland Council, or other investors.
19. Future financial implications may flow from the future development of the facility but these will be subject to consideration in their respective reports as they arise.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
20. No significant risks are anticipated from the local board accepting the Kumeu/ Huapai indoor court facility feasibility study.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
21. Auckland Council will announce the outcome of the local board’s One Local Initiative submission when it adopts the Long-term Plan in June 2018.
22. Ahead of the Long-term Plan announcement staff will maintain communication with sport and recreation stakeholder groups and prepare for next stages of preliminary planning necessary to progress to concept design and business modelling.
