Background
2. The
legacy Waitakere City Council, before amalgamation, purchased the former home
of New Zealand author Maurice Shadbolt in Arapito Road, Titirangi, to become a
Writers in Residence. In 2016, Sandra Coney and the late Denise Yates
successfully proposed a Notice of Motion to proceed with the Artist in
Residence. It was intended that this be run by the Going West Trust.
3. In
early 2019, Waitakere Ranges Local Board met with the Going West Trust and the
Council lawyers and the way ahead was seen as entering into an Agreement to
Lease with the Going West Trust while repair work was carried out on the house.
This would enable the trust to plan the residency and approach sponsors,
partners and funders for support.
4. It
was intended that a report to this effect be included on a Board agenda before
the end of the term.
