Endorsing Business Improvement District (BID) targeted rates for 2020/2021

File No.: CP2020/05106

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek local board endorsement to recommend that the Governing Body sets the targeted rates for the Heart of the City, Karangahape Road (K’ Road), Newmarket, Parnell, Ponsonby and Uptown Business Improvement District (BID) programmes for the 2020/2021 financial year.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are rohe within Tāmaki Makaurau where local business and property owners have agreed to work together to improve their business environment, promote innovation and attract new businesses and customers.

3.       Auckland Council supports business associations operating BID programmes by collecting a targeted rate from commercial properties within a defined geographic area. The funds from the targeted rate are then provided by way of a BID grant to the relevant business association.

4.       Under the Auckland Council shared governance arrangements, local boards are allocated several decision-making responsibilities in relation to BIDs. One of these is to annually recommend BID targeted rates to the Governing Body.

5.       Each business association operating a BID programme sets the BID grant amount at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) when members vote to approve an operational budget for the following financial year. This budget funds the implementation of a business plan that delivers programmes based on each BID’s strategic priorities.

6.       With the support of their members and based on approved business plans, two of the six BID-operating business associations within the Waitematā Local Board area proposed increases to their BID targeted rates for the 2020/2021 financial year. They are Ponsonby (up 10% to $570,618) and Uptown (up 7.5% to $317,000).

7.       In the wake of COVID-19 disruption, three business associations rescinded decisions to increase their BID levies taken at their respective AGMs. Instead, Newmarket will keep its BID grant amount at $1,691,613; Parnell maintains the $855,000 status quo for 2020/2021; and K’ Road will repeat its 2019/2020 sum of $435,428.

8.       Tāmaki Makaurau’s largest business improvement district, Heart of the City, proposed no increase to its current figure of $4,782,614.

9.       The business associations operating BID programmes are incorporated societies that are independent of the council. However, to sustain public trust and confidence in the council, there needs to be a balance between the BIDs’ independence and the accountability for monies collected by a public sector organisation.

10.     For the council to be confident that the funds provided to the BIDs are being used appropriately, the council requires the BIDs to comply with the Business Improvement District (BID) Policy (2016) (Hōtaka ā-Rohe Whakapiki Pakihi), known as the BID Policy. 

11.     The council staff regularly monitor compliance with the BID Policy and this report is part of an active risk management programme to minimise inappropriate use of funds.

12.     Staff are satisfied the Heart of the City, K’ Road, Newmarket, Parnell, Ponsonby and Uptown business associations sufficiently comply with the BID Policy.

13.     Staff propose the Waitematā Local Board receives this report and recommends to the Governing Body the setting (striking) of the BID targeted rates sought by the six business associations. Note: The Uptown BID boundary overlaps the Waitematā and Albert-Eden Local Board areas.

14.     After the Annual Budget is approved, the council collects the targeted rate funds and distributes them in quarterly BID grant payments, effective from 1 July 2020. This will enable the business associations to implement programmes that contribute towards an innovative, productive and resilient local economy, thereby supporting the economic aspirations of the Waitematā Local Board Plan 2017.

15.     Like all BID-operating business associations, Waitematā’s six BIDs will continue to play an important role in supporting their members facing two global challenges. Firstly, helping local businesses throughout the COVID-19 alert stages and, secondly, responding to the world’s climate change emergency with an increased focus on sustainability.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation

That the Waitematā Local Board:

a)      recommends to the Governing Body the setting of the targeted rates for inclusion in the Annual Budget 2020/2021 for the following Business Improvement District (BID) programmes:

i.        $4,782,614 for Heart of the City Incorporated.

ii.       $435,428 for Karangahape Road Business Association Incorporated.

iii.      $1,691,613 for Newmarket Business Association Incorporated.

iv.      $855,000 for Parnell Business Association Incorporated.

v.       $570,618 for Ponsonby Business Association Incorporated.

vi.      $317,000 for Uptown Incorporated.

Context

BID programmes promote economic well-being and collaboration with the council

16.     Tāmaki Makaurau is growing fast and is projected to include another one million people in the next 30 years. This level of growth presents challenges and opportunities for Auckland’s city centre, town centres and commercial precincts.

17.     Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are rohe within Auckland where local businesses and property owners have agreed to work together, with support from the council, to improve their business environment, encourage innovation and attract new businesses and customers.

18.     BID programmes provide the opportunity for the council group to partner with business associations to seize on the opportunities from Auckland’s growth and respond locally to changing economic conditions.

19.     BID programmes encourage collaboration to achieve greater local outcomes. They provide a mechanism to enable local boards to engage with the business sector in local town centres and business areas in a coordinated way.

BIDs provide essential support in the economic recovery from COVID-19

20.     The economy has been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdown, including both retail-based town centres, the city centre and commercial precincts.

21.     BID-programme operating business associations now, more than ever, provide the local business leadership required to help businesses recover from the seismic economic shock and transition to a viable future state.

BIDs are funded by a targeted rate on business ratepayers within a set area

22.     BID programmes are funded by a targeted rate applied to all commercially rated properties within a designated area around the city centre, town centre or commercial precinct.

23.     Auckland Council supports business associations operating BID programmes by collecting the targeted rates and providing these funds, in their entirety, by way of a BID grant to the relevant business association.

24.     This revenue is paid to the business associations every quarter to provide a regular and sustainable income stream to implement an agreed work programme.

The BID Policy is the mechanism to ensure accountability for BID targeted rates

25.     Auckland Council’s Business Improvement District (BID) Policy (2016) (Hōtaka ā-Rohe Whakapiki Pakihi) ensures accountability for BID targeted rate funding and encourages good governance and programme management.

26.     The policy outlines the principles behind the council’s BID programme; creates the process for establishing, expanding, amalgamating and disestablishing BIDs; determines rating mechanisms; prescribes operating standards and guidelines; and sets accountability requirements.

 

Diagram A: From calculation to approval, how the BID targeted rate is set.

 

The business association sets the BID grant amount to deliver its work programme

27.       BID-operating business associations are provided with a rate modelling spreadsheet to help with their budget decision-making. The spreadsheet models any proposed changes to their current BID grant amount and, most importantly, how that influences the BID targeted rate for everyone who will pay it. When considering a change to the BID grant amount, BIDs must take into account what the local businesses and property owners can afford.

28.     Each BID prepares an annual business plan for the following financial year that will deliver programmes based on their strategic priorities and financial parameters.

29.     The cost of implementing that business plan is set out in an annual budget that the BID’s board (governing committee) agrees will be recommended for approval by the business association membership.

30.     The AGM provides the forum where members vote to approve the operational budget and, in doing so, set the requisite BID grant amount for the following financial year.

31.     However, in the wake of changing economic conditions such as those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a business association’s board can opt to rescind, or reduce the level of any proposed increase to the targeted rate. The boards of K’ Road, Newmarket and Parnell took that option in April 2020, reversing their respective AGM’s decision to increase their BID targeted rate and reverting to the financial status quo.

Local boards are responsible for recommending the targeted rate if a BID complies with the BID Policy

32.     Under the Auckland Council shared governance arrangements, local boards are allocated several decision-making responsibilities in relation to BIDs. One of these is to annually recommend BID targeted rates to the Governing Body. The local board should recommend the setting of the targeted rate if it is satisfied that the BID is substantially complying with the BID Policy.

33.     BID programme managers Viv Beck (Heart of the City), Michael Richardson (K’ Road), Mark Knoff-Thomas (Newmarket), Cheryl Adamson (Parnell) and Brent Kennedy (Uptown) have addressed the local board to update members on the progress towards achieving their respective BID’s business and strategic plans. Ponsonby’s Viv Rosenberg was unable to present due to the COVID-10 level 4 lockdown, however a report on Ponsonby’s achievements and opportunities has been sent to local board members for review.

34.     The Waitematā Local Board approved a similar recommendation for the BID programmes last year (resolution number WTM/2019/79), as did 17 other local boards that have BID programmes operating in their rohe.

The Governing Body sets the targeted rate when it approves the Annual Budget

35.     The recommendation in this report is put into effect with the Governing Body’s approval of the Annual Budget 2020/2021 and its setting (striking) of the targeted rates.

36.     In accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Act 2002 and the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002, the Governing Body is authorized to make the final decisions on what BID programme targeted rates, if any, to set in any particular year or property (in terms of the amount and the geographic area to be rated).

Analysis and advice

37.     BID programmes are operated by independent business associations, and their programmes and services are provided according to their members’ stated priorities.

In recognition of their independent status, the BID Policy does not prescribe standards for programme effectiveness. That is for the business association members to determine.

Staff, therefore, cannot base recommendations on these factors, but only on the policy’s express requirements.

All six business associations comply with the BID Policy

38.     Staff are satisfied the Heart of the City, K’ Road, Newmarket, Parnell, Ponsonby and Uptown business associations have sufficiently met the requirements of the BID Policy.

39.     Staff require BID-operating business associations to provide to the council the following documents, and stay in touch with their local board(s) at least once a year:

·   Current strategic plan – evidence of achievable medium to long-term opportunities.

·   Audited accounts – assurance that the BID-operating business association is managing its members’ BID targeted rate funds responsibly.

·   Annual report on the year just completed – evidence that programmes are addressing priority issues that benefit BID targeted ratepayers.

·   Business plan for the coming year – detailed one-year programme, based on the strategic plan, to be achieved and resourced.

·   Indicative budget for the following year – Auckland Council’s Annual Budget requires targeted rates to be identified a year in advance to inform the Annual Budget process which sets all rates.

·   Board Charter – establishes guidelines for effective board governance and positive relationships between the association and its members.

·   Annual Accountability Agreement – certification that these requirements have been met.

·   Programme Agreement – a good faith agreement between each BID-operating business association and the council that sets basic parameters of the council-business association relationship.

·   AGM minutes - provisional minutes of each business association’s 2019 AGM meetings which contain the resolution, voted on by members, confirming the BID grant amount for the following financial year.

 

36.     In addition, BID-operating business associations must inform the council staff of progress with other compliance requirements, including:

·   Incorporated Society registration – a current registration of the business association along with all required documents up to date.

·   Key initiatives – activities identified to be advanced in the next financial year.

·   Resolving problems or issues, if any – problems or issues that have an impact on the governance or operation of the BID programme.

 

37.     The BID Policy sets an annual compliance deadline of 10 March for the information to be forwarded to the council. The table below summarises the requirements for the six BIDs within the Waitematā Local Board area as of 10 March 2020.

38.     As Heart of the City, K’ Road, Newmarket, Parnell, Ponsonby and Uptown business associations have met the requirements of the BID Policy, staff advise the local board to recommend to the Governing Body the setting (striking) of the targeted rates.

Two business associations increased their BID grants, four maintain status quo (after three rescind rate rise decisions)

39.     As shown in Table 2 below, two of the six BID-operating business associations still propose increases to their BID targeted rates for the 2020/2021 financial year. The increased revenue, supported by members at their respective AGMs, will fund a range of initiatives and service level improvements as indicated in Table 1 (key initiatives).

40.     Ponsonby Business Association’s 10% ($51,875) increase takes its 2020/2021 BID grant to $570,618.

41.     Uptown Inc. members voted for a 7.5% ($22,109) increase to set a new BID targeted rate of $317,000 for the next financial year.

42.     At their 2019 AGM, Newmarket Business Association members supported a 3.5% ($57,207) increase to raise the amount of $1,750,820. This decision was later rescinded in the wake of the COVID-19 caused economic downturn. The ‘fashion precinct’ will instead keep its BID grant amount at $1,691,613 for 2020/2021.

43.     Parnell Business Association members had voted to raise its BID levy by 8.5%, or $72,625, to $927,625. Like its neighbour Newmarket, Parnell chose to forgo the additional revenue in solidarity with struggling business owners and will retain its current $855,000 amount.

44.     Karangahape Road Business Association also recently reversed its AGM-sanctioned increase ($21,782, or 5%) to raise $457,210. Instead, it will keep to its 2019/2020 sum of $435,428.

45.     At its AGM, Tāmaki Makaurau’s largest business improvement district, Heart of the City, proposed no increase to its current figure of $4,782,614.

46.     While some among Auckland’s 48 BID-operating business associations reaffirmed the decisions to increase their 2020/2021 targeted rates, with rises ranging from 1.2% to 14.4%, at least eight BIDs rescinded their rate decisions and opted to retain the current, 2019/2020 BID grant levels.

Climate impact statement

47.     Through targeted rate-funded advocacy and activities, BID-operating business associations promote and often facilitate environmental sustainability programmes.

48.     From running carbon-reducing ‘shop local’ campaigns to transitioning to energy-efficient lighting and championing waste reduction and recovery programmes, there are many examples of BIDs within this rohe and beyond responding to the planet’s climate change emergency.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

49.     Advocacy is a key service provided by business associations and those with BID programme-funded personnel are at a distinct advantage. The BIDs ensure the views and ambitions of their members are shared with the council group, including CCOs, regarding those plans, policies, projects and programmes that impact them.

50.     The BIDs work closely with Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development (ATEED) on local economic development and tourism initiatives, events and sustainability programmes. The AC36 event presents significant opportunities for Heart of the City, in particular.

51.     New Zealand’s largest infrastructure project, the Central Rail Link (CRL) joint venture between the government and Auckland Council, continues to have a significant impact on businesses and their customers within the Waitematā Local Board area. Business disruption mitigation programmes are, with the strong encouragement and support of BIDs and the local board, helping business owners during difficult trading conditions.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

52.     The local board’s views are most frequently expressed by its appointed representative on the board of each BID-operating business association. This liaison board member can attend BID board meetings to ensure there is a direct link between the council and the operation of the BID programme.

53.     Each BID values its strong and enduring governance-to-governance relationship with the Waitematā Local Board. The contributions by the local board’s BID appointees, alternates and economic development portfolio-holders have, for many years, promoted mutual understanding, collaboration and aligned economic outcomes.

Visions, plans aligned

54.     Waitematā’s BIDs and local board share a keen interest in the rohe and are ambitious for its future and its people. They also share goals that include economic prosperity, community identity, placemaking and pride.

55.     The six BID programmes tangibly support the aspirations of the Waitematā Local Board Plan 2017, best expressed in Outcome 6:  An innovative, productive and resilient local economy. From their constitutions to their activities, the BIDs exist to enhance their business districts, grow Auckland’s GDP and sustain the economic viability of their targeted ratepaying members.

Local rohe, local funding, local benefit

56.     Recommending that the Governing Body sets the targeted rates for the Heart of the City, K’ Road, Newmarket, Parnell, Ponsonby and Uptown business associations means that these BID programmes will continue to be funded from targeted rates on commercial properties in their rohe, and provide services in accordance with their members’ priorities as stated in their strategic plans.

57.     Several local boards, including Waitematā, provide additional funding to local business associations, however accountability for any grants is set by funding agreements between the local board and the business association. Those contractual obligations are separate from the requirements of the BID Policy and are not covered in this report.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

58.     At the 2018 Census, Māori represented 6.1% of the population living in the Waitematā Local Board area, compared to 11.5% of AucklandIndividual business associations may, through operating their BID programme, identify opportunities for niche support or development of any Māori business sector in their rohe.

59.       Heart of the City has a goal for a “strong connection to iwi and diverse cultural and community groups to ensure the city centre is welcoming and evolving.” Its destination marketing work confirms, in association with ATEED, that Tāmaki Makaurau’s Māori culture is our unique point of difference in the world, and the BID celebrates Te Ao Māori across events such as Artweek, Restaurant Month and Matariki.  It also amplifies the work of cultural destinations like the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, Aotea Centre and activation work by Panuku on the waterfront.  The Street Guardians programme provides work experience for the city centre street community, a group which has a high proportion of Māori.  

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

60.     There are no financial implications for the local board. Targeted rates for BID-operating business associations are raised directly from commercial ratepayers in the district and used by the business association for improvements within that rohe. The council’s financial role is to collect the BID targeted rates and pass them directly to the association every quarter.

61.     The targeted rate is payable by the owners of the commercial properties within the geographic area of the individual BID programmes.  In practice, this cost is often passed on to the business owners who occupy these properties.  This cost will be harder to meet at a time when businesses are financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and alert level restrictions.  The council may extend its Rates Remission and Postponement Policy to commercial property owners as part of the Annual Budget 2020/2021.  If approved, this would help mitigate impact of the targeted rate on those who are struggling financially.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

62.     There are no direct financial risks to the local board or the council that could result from this recommendation to endorse the BID targeted rate for the six business associations.

63.     To sustain public trust and confidence in the council, there needs be a balance between the independence of the BID-operating business association and the accountability for monies collected by a public sector organisation.

64.     The rules and obligations of the BID Policy are intended to help minimise the potential for BIDs to misuse funds by requiring each BID to plan for their intended use, report on its activities to its members and to have its accounts audited.

65.     The council staff regularly monitor compliance with the BID Policy and this report is part of an active risk management programme to minimise inappropriate use of funds.

66.     The economic shockwaves created by the COVID-19 global pandemic are being felt everywhere, including Auckland’s town centres and business precincts. The BID programme is an internationally proven approach to engage and empower local businesses. The BID programmes in this local board area will, through business resilience and recovery initiatives, help members to mitigate some of the economic effects of the pandemic and explore new opportunities.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

67.     If the board supports this report, it will recommend to the Governing Body that the BID targeted rates be set as part of the Annual Budget 2020/2021.

68.     After the Annual Budget is approved, the council collects the targeted rate funds and distributes them in quarterly BID grant payments, effective from 1 July 2020. This will enable the six BIDs to implement programmes that improve their local business environment, support businesses to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and help meet the challenge of the world’s climate change emergency through sustainability initiatives.

Waitematā Grants Programme 2020/2021

File No.: CP2020/03887

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To adopt the Waitematā Local Board Programme 2020/2021.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Auckland Council Community Grants Policy guides the allocation of local, multi-board and regional grant programmes to groups and organisations delivering projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders.

3.       The Community Grants Policy supports each local board to review and adopt their own local grants programme for the next financial year.

4.       This report presents the Waitematā Local Board Grants Programme 2020/2021 for adoption (see Attachment A).

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Waitematā Local Board:

a)   adopt the Waitematā Grants Programme 2020/2021 with the additional wording “this year there will be a particular focus on supporting post covid-19 economic development initiatives and support for initiatives that address community resilience and recovery.”

 

 

Horopaki

Context

5.       The Auckland Council Community Grants Policy guides the allocation of local, multi-board and regional grant programmes to groups and organisations delivering projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders.

6.       The Community Grants Policy supports each local board to review and adopt its own local grants programme for the next financial year. The local board grants programme guides community groups and individuals when making applications to the local board.

7.       The local board community grants programme includes:

· outcomes as identified in the local board plan

· specific local board grant priorities

· which grant types will operate, the number of grant rounds and opening and closing         dates

· any additional criteria or exclusions that will apply

· other factors the local board consider to be significant to their decision-making.

8.       Once the local board grants programme 2020/2021 has been adopted, the types of grants, grant rounds, criteria and eligibility with be advertised through an integrated communication and marketing approach which includes utilising the local board channels.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

9.       The aim of the local board grant programme is to deliver projects and activities which align with the outcomes identified in the local board plan. The new Grants Programme has been workshopped with the local board and feedback incorporated into the grants programme for 2020/2021.

10.     Since the grants programme was workshopped with the local board, the full impacts of the COVID-19 crisis are emerging and there will likely be ongoing economic hardship and ongoing restrictions, at some level, for the 2020/2021 financial year. Therefore staff are recommending that a higher priority could be added to the grants programme 2020/2021 to support community groups in the next financial year. The following addition is therefore recommended:

·      this year there will be a particular focus on supporting post covid-19 economic development initiatives and support for initiatives that address community resilience and recovery.

11.     The new grant programme for 2020/2021, does not include the Events Development Fund. The consequences of COVID-19 will mean that a number of larger events will need to be postponed until all the alert levels are lifted. Therefore, the viability of many events will be uncertain for the short to medium term. Requests for event funding can continue to be made through the local grant or quick response grant rounds in 2020/2021.

12.     Recipients of the Event Partnership Fund have previously been determined from recipients of the Event Development Fund. Every three years the partnership fund has been reviewed and refreshed, and three year funding commitments entered into. In the 2020/2021 financial year, decisions will be made on recipients of the Event Partnership Fund for the next three years. The partnership fund will be considered, as part of the ongoing work programme discussions for 2020/2021.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

13.     The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to address climate change by providing grants to individuals and groups with projects that support community climate change action. Local board grants can contribute to climate action through the support of projects that address food production and food waste; alternative transport methods; community energy efficiency education and behaviour change; build community resilience and support tree planting.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

14.     The grants programme has no identified impacts on council-controlled organisations and therefore their views are not required.

15.     Based on the main focus of an application, a subject matter expert from the relevant council unit will provide input and advice. The main focus of an application is identified as arts, community, events, sport and recreation, environment or heritage.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

16.     The grants programme has been developed by the local board to set the direction of its grants programme. This programme is reviewed on an annual basis.

17.     The grant programme for 2020/2021 includes an additional higher priority section. This gives consideration for applications for other services, projects, events and activities, that focus on

• community action for climate change

• empowerment for women and girls

• waste minimization

• smoke-free programmes and events

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

18.     All grant programmes respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to improving Māori wellbeing by providing grants to organisations delivering positive outcomes for Māori. Applicants are asked how their project aims to increase Māori outcomes in the application process.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

19.     The allocation of grants to community groups is within the adopted Long-term Plan 2018 -2028 and local board agreements.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

20.     The allocation of grants occurs within the guidelines and criteria of the Community Grants Policy. Therefore, there is minimal risk associated with the adoption of the grants programme.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

21.     An implementation plan is underway and the local board grants programme will be locally advertised through the local board and council channels, including the council website, local board facebook page and communication with past recipients of grants.

A total of $2,000 was previously allocated from the 2019/2020 community grants budget, to one grant from 2018/2019 Quick Response Round Three (WTM/2019/119). A further $64,000 was allocated in local grant round one and $26,037 was allocated in quick response round one.

These were grants to Aaiotanga Peace Place Charitable Trust (QR2020-106) for $2,250 and The Auckland Readers and Writers Festival Charitable Trust (QR2020-122) for $3,000. This leaves a total of $84,095 to be allocated to one local and multiboard grant round and one quick response grant round in 2019/2020.

Context

6.       The local board allocates grants to groups and organisations delivering projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders and contribute to the vision of being a world class city.

7.       Auckland Council Community Grants Policy supports each local board to adopt a grants programme.

8.       The local board grants programme sets out:

·     local board priorities

·     lower priorities for funding

·     exclusions

·     grant types, the number of grant rounds and when these will open and close

·     any additional accountability requirements.

 

9.       The Waitematā Local Board adopted their grants programme for 2019/2020 on 16 April 2019 and will operate two quick response and two local grants rounds for this financial year. 

10.     The community grant programmes have been extensively advertised through the council grants webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters, Facebook pages, council publications, radio, and community networks.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

11.     The aim of the local board grant programme is to deliver projects and activities which align with the outcomes identified in the local board plan. All applications have been assessed utilising the Community Grants Policy and the local board grant programme criteria. The eligibility of each application is identified in the report recommendations.

12.     Due to the current COVID-19 crisis, staff have also assessed each application according to which alert level the proposed activity is able to proceed. For example, under alert level two, only gatherings of up to 100 people can take place. Events and activities have been assessed according to these criteria.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

13.     The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to address climate change by providing grants to individuals and groups for projects that support and enable community climate action. Community climate action involves reducing or responding to climate change by local residents in a locally relevant way. Local board grants can contribute to expanding climate action by supporting projects that reduce carbon emissions and increase community resilience to climate impacts. Examples of projects include local food production and food waste reduction; decreasing access to single-occupancy transport options, home energy efficiency and community renewable energy generation; local tree planting and streamside revegetation; and education about sustainable lifestyle choices that reduce carbon footprints.

14.     Nine applicants applying to local grants response round two have indicated that their project supports climate change outcomes.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

15.     Based on the main focus of an application, a subject matter expert from the relevant department will provide input and advice. The main focus of an application is identified as arts, community, events, sport and recreation, environment or heritage.

16.     The grants programme has no identified impacts on council-controlled organisations and therefore their views are not required.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

17.     Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community grants. The Waitematā Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or decline these grant applications against the local board priorities identified in the local board grant programme.

18.     The board is requested to note that section 48 of the Community Grants Policy states; ‘we will also provide feedback to unsuccessful grant applicants about why they have been declined, so they will know what they can do to increase their chances of success next time’.

19.     A summary of each application received through round two of the Waitematā Local Grants and the Multiboard Grants Round Two 2019/2020 grant round is provided (refer Attachment A).

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

20.     The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to improving Maori wellbeing by providing grants to individuals and groups who deliver positive outcomes for Maori. Auckland Council’s Maori Responsiveness Unit has provided input and support towards the development of the community grant processes.

21.     Seventeen applicants applying to Local Grants round two, have indicated that their project targets Māori or Māori outcomes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

22.     The allocation of grants to community groups is within the adopted Long-term Plan 2018-2028 and local board agreements.

23.     The local board has set a total community grants budget of $170,882 for the 2019/2020 financial year.

24.     The local board has set a total community grants budget of $170,882 for the 2019/2020 financial year. A total of $2,000 was previously allocated from the 2019/2020 community grants budget, to one grant from 2018/2019 Quick Response Round Three (WTM/2019/119). A further $64,000 was allocated in local grant round one and $26,037 was allocated in quick response round one. Two grants were also returned as the events were no longer able to be held, due to the COVID-19 alert restrictions. These were grants to Aaiotanga Peace Place Charitable Trust (QR2020-106) for $2,250 and The Auckland Readers and Writers Festival Charitable Trust (QR2020-122) for $3,000. This leaves a total of $84,095 to be allocated to one local and multiboard grant round and one quick response grant round in 2019/2020.

25.     Thirty-four applications were received for Local Grants Round Two 2019/2020, requesting a total of $328,205.09 and thirteen applications were received for Multiboard Grants Round Two 2019/2020, requesting a total of $326,446.46

Risks and mitigations

26.     The allocation of grants occurs within the guidelines and criteria of the Community Grants Policy and the local board grants programme. The assessment process has identified that a low risk associated with funding the applications in this round.

27.     Staff recommend that due to current COVID19 crisis, if an applicant is unable to carry out the project in this financial year, then a clause is added to the recommendation, that the applicant can retain the funds to carry out the event in the next financial year or postpone the event date, to when alert levels have reduced, and the event can be conducted safely.

Project: Ngunguru - Lumsden Green

Location:

Lumsden Green, Newmarket. Corner Khyber Pass and Broadway

Summary:

A sculptural installation on Lumsden Green incorporating the water fountain and grass areas. Red pillars that come out of the ground at strange angles will create a new reality and speak to the nature of the volcanic ground that it stands on. A water feature wrapped in red lighting would connect the sculptural installation.

Expertise:

As a Business Association, we support and manage our own events, from ANZAC Day services, Italian Festivals. Last year we had a smaller activation on Lumsden Green called HYBYCOZO, a static light installation which was a success and gained a lot of coverage.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Create a positive community and environment that commissions engaging activations, events and art installations to add to visitor experience. It will add to Auckland’s vibrant city. Leveraging the success of the event and using as a city-example internationally for activations which engage the public and attract new visitors, as a city that leads in the space of innovation. We’d expect a large number of local and international visitors to come to Newmarket, enjoying the installation and then visiting the surrounding restaurants, cafes, bars and shops (helping the economy). 
 
Visitors would have more of an understanding of place in Auckland and connect with the city. Understanding the environmental and historical implications of the land through the installation would mean that spectators were more conscious about 'place' and its part in Auckland city. Encouraging people to visit an installation would benefit the surrounding retailers and hospitality providers in the area, as we'd expect people to spend time and money whilst visiting. This would benefit the Newmarket economy, particularly throughout the month of winter because this is the most challenging time of year for our businesses, adding some interest, colour and an interactive space.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

 

An art installation has been proposed to take place on Lumsden Green, Newmarket, from 15 July until 2 August as part of the Auckland's Elemental Festival. This Festival aims to draw foot traffic and encourage public to participate in events and activations across Auckland during the winter months.
 A sculptural installation will be installed on Lumsden Green incorporating the water fountain and grass areas. Red pillars that come out of the ground at strange angles will create a new reality and speak to the nature of the volcanic ground that it stands on. A water feature wrapped in red lighting would connect the sculptural installation. On certain days, children can interact with the sculpture installation by connecting hundreds of custom magnets on the pillars which they can then take home so that the art work is remember for a long time to come.
 
The story telling aspect of the volcanic nature of the ground in Newmarket is important to the precinct’s history (being situated on the Auckland isthmus), in which the presence of volcanic rock which lay beneath pure spring water supported the establishment of several major breweries in the area, very close to Lumsden Green.
 
Newmarket has strong Māori history, named Te Ti Tutahi, which means  ‘Sacred Cabbage Tree Standing Alone’ . This sacred cabbage tree was significant to the area and Maori and stood on the corner of Broadway and Mortimer Pass and was a well-known landmark.The connection of the art display to Newmarket’s history with the land and natural environment is an important part of the narrative.
Lumsden Green is one of Newmarket’s few green open spaces and bridging the connection between the urban city and the rich history of Newmarket and its natural elements.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori focus - tikanga (practises), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

Woven into the fabric of Newmarket’s history is a strong Māori culture which is communicated through this event, and will also be detailed on the installation. Newmarket has a strong Maori culture and will be significant to Māori.
 
Maungawhau is surrounded by a lava field extending north to Khyber Pass Road and east to the railway line, underlying most of Newmarket. In the Maori occupation of Newmarket later created settlements across the isthmus and amongst volcanic stonefields. Celebrating this history, and combining Newmarket’s past with a present art form is an evoking way to add a different kind of cultural experience to those who visit Newmarket, locally and internationally.
 
Communication the Māori history of Newmarket is important.

Project: TW_video/print content_ June onward 2020

Location:

Cross St and/or online

Summary:

We propose to establish a media channel to distribute ideas and reflections on sustainability. The media channel includes videos and online publication as well as a physical journal. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to prioritize the online content during the lockdown and according to the situation, we will try our best to produce our journal when possible. The main content of the online videos would be in a documentary-like format showing the process of a group of artists and designers creating artworks and objects through upcycling used/ found materials or rubbish. If the pandemic gets better later this year, we will move on to produce print content as well as organise workshops and art exhibitions at our venue.

Expertise:

Our team all have art and film backgrounds and experience in design, filming, editing and so on. We all have a passion for this field and relating practices.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Art and design are powerful ways to spread ideas, we want to inspire people to consider sustainability in a more personal light and reflect on our daily consumption habits, the rubbish we are creating, as well as more responsible ways of dealing with them. We intend to influence new mindsets that can help the community perform sustainable relationships with the commodities and rubbish around us. The community can benefit from the awareness of sustainability being raised and portrayed in more interesting and engaging ways in order to make the crucial turn of stepping out of our waste culture and practice a different way of living.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

 

Our project aims to distribute messages of sustainable inspirations in our community. We will create exciting video content surrounding sustainability-related activities and events as well as supporting and promoting other projects such as contemporary art practices and design projects that speaks to sustainability or charitable projects aiming to recycle and reduce waste in our community. Our plan is to create video content that documents art-making processes, review sustainability projects and events and share ideas and discussions under this topic. This is our major focus during the COVID-19 lockdown as filming and editing indoors is still possible for our team. Once the pandemic lockdown is lifted we will be able to publish a physical publication. There are already contributors in contact for our journal who have materials they are willing to provide. The media channel will serve as a platform and access point to encourage community engagement in the progressions of the sustainability sector as well as a source for information and inspiration on practising a more sustainable lifestyle.

This application is a development and a coping plan for our old plan called Waste Archive. We have got documents that relate to Waste Archive attached. We are trying to make this application flexible so we could still able to deliver it even during the lockdown. For the budget, we are assuming that we could only able to deliver the video content, and it is not 100% accurate because of the timing. We are happy to send another budget if need.

This project like the five other art works creates a new dimension to Newmarket, one that enlivens the district.  The artworks are the centre of popular Newmarket walking tours during art week.  Public art enhances the retail and commercial environments and provides an engaging experience for visitors.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Increase the prosperity of our town centres

 

Our sixth public artwork will be a  neon sculpture by noted artist, Paul Hartigan.  In the past, Newmarket boasted high quality neon in the town centre.  This project will re-introduce neon and retail businesses will be encouraged to include neon art work to their future displays.  The project has the full support of the Newmarket Business Association (NBA).  The association strongly believes that this project will enhance the prosperity of the district.

Conflicts of interest:

Project: Fresh off the Page 2020

Location:

Basement Theatre, Lower Greys Avenue, Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010

Summary:

Fresh off the Page (FOTP) is Proudly Asian Theatre’s (PAT) initiative to support, discover and develop Asian theatre creatives at the grassroots level. 
 
We present live play-readings by Asian-New Zealander playwrights, directed by Asian practitioners and starring Asian actors. This takes place bi-monthly at Basement Theatre, to houses up to 65 people while paying our talent, venue, crew, and hosts.
 
Due to the current Covid-19 situation, we also have the opportunity to move this initiative online through recorded play-readings, while still paying our talent and crew, and fostering and expanding our community.

Expertise:

Since its establishment in 2013, Proudly Asian Theatre has been successful in delivering similar projects that represent Asian communities in New Zealand. PAT has delivered numerous shows such as award-winning 'Call of the Sparrows' and 2018 Hackman Cup award winner 'Orientation.' In 2019, the PAT produced play 'PINAY' (developed through previous Fresh off the Page initiatives) was awarded the Auckland Theatre Award’s Excellence in Theatre Production.
 
The dramaturgs mentoring our writers are experienced theatre professionals who have been selected by both Proudly Asian Theatre and Playmarket New Zealand, our supporting partners since 2019.
 
Our experienced team has been in charge of previous seasons of Fresh off the Page, other Proudly Asian Theatre works, as well as other theatre/creative projects.

Promotion:

Our marketing strategy consists of the collateral for our individual play-readings, as well as using a grassroots approach through our existing following. Due to the current situation, our marketing is heavily digital and online, utilising social media sites like Facebook and Instagram, as well as through EDM/email marketing campaigns.
 
This marketing involves the inclusion of online posters, videos, collateral images, and media releases for news & media coverage. We also release a trailer for each play-reading. PAT has a strong community based following, and we have seen through previous shows the impact they have in spreading and supporting our work. Core marketing imagery and video has already been shot.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

As we have seen through feedback from previous renditions of Fresh off the Page, our community benefits include, but are not limited to:
 
- More access to Asian New Zealand stories and works - 5 radio plays 
- More visible representation of Asian New Zealanders in our arts and media sectors
- Arts accessibility to people of varying socio-economic statuses and disabilities
- Increased engagement of young local theatre-makers, both existing and aspiring
- Our participating writers will also have a professional mentor to guide them through the process, and our mentors are encouraged to pass down their knowledge to the younger generation.
- Our participating writers will be able to share their often culturally sensitive stories in a safe and encouraging environment, and feel that their stories are valued in Aotearoa. 
- Our participating writers will also have access and encouragement to participate in the creation of theatre
 
Most importantly our community is given a safe space to connect with each other, share stories, and empower one another. Be this in person, or online.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

 

At the very heart of our organisation, we encourage access and participation in local events and arts activities, mainly through provided initiatives that make these industries accessible for the Asian community. A previously untouched audience and artist niche, PAT play reads are a community building, mentoring and a growth opportunity for Asian writers to test and showcase their craft, Asian actors and audiences to be inspired by new Asian material, and for those involved to meet role models, learning opportunities and exposure to the industry for future work.
 
Though we are not a community theatre company, this initiative aims to develop new artists/writers and engage and up-skill them in the theatre industry. Over the past few years, we have also encouraged participation of the wider Asian community in Aotearoa, who are often non-theatregoing people, by creating theatre works that are accessible to them. As of the 2013 census, Asians New Zealanders make up 11.8% of our overall population, and yet we see very little of this representation in our local arts communities and in mainstream media and television. This is what we are trying to address, by creating environments that provide representation. When young Asian New Zealanders see more of themselves in our arts industries, they will feel more encouraged to share their stories and create, while feeling more valued in our community. 
 
There are no other arts projects or initiatives happening in Auckland that engages with, develops, and showcases new Asian writers for theatre on a long term basis - both empowering artists and developing community simultaneously.  
Our chosen writers are:
 
Jill Kwan - (Malaysian Chinese) 'How to Throw a Chinese Funeral'
Alyssa Medel - (Filipino New Zealander) 'Paraluman'
Nahyeon Lee - (Korean New Zealander) 'After School Film Society'
 
In light of the Covid-19 situation, we have prepared alternatives in the case that live events and public gatherings are still prohibited at our scheduled dates. We will move our events online, using recorded play-readings for our audiences, and arranging our writers’ mentorship to proceed remotely using online services such as Zoom and Skype. This will also increase accessibility even further, where anyone with access to the internet will be able to view our work. In this difficult time, we would like to be an organisation that is able to transcend the traditional definition of “theatre” by continuing with our work and community engagement online.

Requesting grant for:

We request funding for the compensation of our personnel and marketing initiatives for three of our events slated for June onwards. Our personnel include; our producers, actors, writers, and directors. In light of Covid-19, if live events and gatherings are still prohibited by the scheduled performance dates, these talent fees will still apply even if we move the work online. We are non-profit organisation dedicated to creating a sustainable environment for our arts practitioners, and that involves paying them a fair wage for their time, talents, and effort.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

Unfortunately, if this project isn't fully funded our production team will have to offer in-kind (unpaid), or koha, support to reach and serve our underrepresented communities for these play-readings. We will have to resort to charging ticket fees to cover venue costs.

Summary:

Developed to mark our 10th anniversary as New Zealand's first online museum the To Fashion project focuses on the future, making visible what we have learned so far; that we construct, create and express our identity through what we choose to wear. 
10 influential individuals of diverse ages, sizes, ethnicities, and genders will fashion a total look that speaks of themselves personally and their identity as people of Aotearoa today. 
Championing a multiplicity of approaches and values that reflect those of the participants we will document their exploratory processes and outcomes. 
These will be presented free of charge across 3 easy to access platforms to ensure wide-reaching audience appeal

Expertise:

As a museum without a building or a physical collection, we have achieved a strong reputation for our inventiveness, professionalism and the quality of our research, website, exhibitions, public programmes and publications over the 10 years that we have been operating. In that time we have delivered a number of very successful projects that have been supported by funding from the Waitemata Local Board.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

To Fashion will provide the opportunity for real-time engagement with the participants and their communities over the half-year that the project grows.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

 

By reaching out beyond our own audience and inviting the participation of 10 influential individuals of diverse ages, sizes, ethnicities, and genders To Fashion a total look that speaks of themselves personally and their identity as people of Aotearoa today, we will engage with them and with their community in a way that has not been done before. By delivering the project free of charge across 3 easy to access platforms; a fashion and visual arts exhibition in the Britomart precinct (coronavirus permitting), a series of street posters, and a set of moving image, audio and digital recordings which will be presented as part of the exhibitions and will then be available permanently online at http://www.nzfashionmuseum.org.nz/. The development and delivery of To Fashion will provide spaces and places that enable our diverse communities to connect, and feel welcome.

We will, of course, do our best to find another source of funding for the shortfall on this component to allow it to proceed if the funding from the Waitemata Local Board falls short of the cost of delivering this.

Project: Spoken Word Workshops - Empowering young people through the arts

Location:

Ngā Puna o Waiōrea,  Youthline ,St Pauls College, Central City Library, Auckland Girls Grammar, Western Springs College

Summary:

Our project involves facilitating 15 x two hour, structured Spoken Word workshops at schools and community centres in the Local Board area. There is no cost to the students or the schools.

Expertise:

In 2019, 7027 young people attended our spoken word programmes and workshops.
We have a team of two full-time staff who are experienced youth workers and poets and we are supported by approx 20 volunteers which include the South Auckland Poet Collective.
Our work is guided by best practise models such as Te Whare Tapa Wha and the Youth Development Strategy Aotearoa (YDSA).
We have been working with young people using creative action-based programmes since 1981

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

At Action Education we have four overarching community outcomes that drive and guide our youth programmes and activities:
We have five overarching outcomes that we expect the young people participating inthis programmes will achieve.
1) Young people have a sense of belonging and feel connected to their communities
2) Young people have the means to explore and express culture, identity and diversity in a safe supported environment
3) Young people have a sense of contributing to society; their opinions are listened and valued
4) Young people have enhanced sense of wellbeing and personal development from being involved in positive, pro social opportunities

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Provide spaces and places that enable our diverse communities to connect, and feel welcome

 

Spoken word poetry is an art form that’s increasingly recognised as an effective vehicle through which young people can explore themselves, process their feelings, connect and understand their place within their culture, family, whanau and community.
Using feedback from young people, we have honed and refined our spoken word workshops that are run in community centres and schools.
The workshops:
1. Introduce participants to spoken word poetry, supporting their writing and literacy skills
2. Introduce young people to a creative, affordable, relevant and accessible medium for self-expression
3. Build confidence and self-esteem while connecting with their collective and individual identities
We provide these 2 hour workshops, free of charge and we distribute alongside them our “Spoken Word Guidelines” resource for educators. http://www.actioneducation.co.nz/
resources.html. 7079 young people took part in our workshops in 2019.

Project: Social Innovation Conference 2020

Location:

Owen G Glenn Building (Business School, University of Auckland)

Summary:

The Social Innovation Conference is an event that unites students (secondary to tertiary), professionals and pioneers who are passionate about developing innovative solutions to today’s most pressing problems. This event will create a community of people from different backgrounds, experiences, and skills. In 2020, this will be done through a series of sessions and workshops filled with take home frameworks and experiences to facilitate their ability and goals to become social innovators despite the logistical challenges the attendees believe exist. More specifically, the conference will run for the entire day and include a Keynote speaker, Public Policy Panel Discussion, Sessions/Workshops (Technology, Climate Change, Cultural Diversity, Healthcare, Entrepreneurial Spirit, Impact Measurement & Marketing), Showcase, Pitching and a Quiz.

Expertise:

Our organisation has successfully delivered two Social Innovation Conferences, the first being in 2018 and the second being in 2019. The Conference proposed for 2020 builds off the expertise developed from the past two conferences, whether that relate to promotion, budgeting, logistics, measuring impact, tracking attendees, procuring speakers and other activities associated with producing a high quality conference. Additionally, our organisation runs many other events which all adds to the communal expertise that our team members tap into when designing and implementing an event.

Promotion:

The Conference will be marketed extensively in the University at the Business School and other faculties. The local board's branding will be featured. We also plan to invite local board members as guest speakers, mentors and judges. The board is also welcome to put signs around the venue
 
- Club newsletter reaching over 500 people; - A feature page in the UoA Business School’s Update emailed to all business students  - Posters around the University; - Our  website; - Posts on the SINZ Facebook page (currently at 2500+ likes) and multiple other Facebook groups with interests in entrepreneurship, innovation, sustainability and social issues; - Posts on LinkedIn by participating professionals and students; - Other Social Media Channels (Instagram).
.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

One major benefit is community-building. Last year, 963 people were engaged with the Conference’s Facebook event. Our promotional strategy was not exclusively designed to increase the engagement numbers but to ensure that our community was diverse. That is why we not only collaborated with organisations such as Movespace or Festival for the Future to reach experienced people within the social impact space but we also utilised University channels to reach more entry level members. In both the 2019 & 2020 Conferences, entry level participants will benefit by being mentored by people with experience, gaining the necessary skills while allowing people with knowledge to gain insight and network with the next generation of potential change makers. 
Another major benefit is empowering attendees to action. As a result of last year’s Conference, there were many examples of attendees being empowered to act. For instance, we had one attendee who felt empowered to pursue a business idea and another who ended up starting their own organisation. Likewise, the 2020 Social Innovation Conference will follow this trajectory by focusing even more on how their leanings from the Conference can be translated to social change, especially through the relationships developed from the speakers.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

 

.We understand that while social entrepreneurship is imperative to improving the world, social change can happen outside of them and within our communities. The Social Innovation Conference is a one-off event that unites students, professionals and pioneers who are passionate about developing innovative solutions to today’s most pressing problems. Our vision is to inspire participants to embrace the social challenges of the future and help them develop the necessary skills to combat such challenges - which could be in the form of community-led initiatives.This event will be open to tertiary and high school students and our local community curious about social change, particularly social entrepreneurship. Unlike previous years, we have experienced a significant increase in our membership and have a greater chance in encouraging participation for this Conference which will also stimulate attendance in other social-change aligned events as people continue their journey towards social impact.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - We ask for all participants who RSVP to note down any particular requirements and we do our best to accommodate any special needs. The venue (OGGB) is also wheelchair friendly.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

(1) The smoke-free 2025 campaign is a huge social initiative that will be supported. The OGGB building where the event will be held (and the entire University for that matter), is a smoke-free zone. We will have smoke-free stands set up on the entrance and around the building. As Smoke-free is one of several social change initiatives in our community, the topic will surely be discussed in the conference, perhaps in discussions and panels.
 
(2) We will be using a combination of Rubbish, Recycling and Composting Bins on the venue, with waste minimization messages
 
(3) The OGGB Building has water fountains available for the use of our attendees. Healthy food is a big factor in selecting a caterer. Last year we had vegan food & Subway for lunch, plus some healthy drinks partially supplied by Almighty.  The previous year, we used Zambrero, another healthy food provider.
 
(4) Our conference will not be held in one room and instead held in many rooms situated on the ground floor of the OGGB building. This will encourage movement. We also have one panel discussion on the overlap between Healthcare & Social Innovation.

We envisage the plaques developing into a walking trail initiative that would be shared on the KBA app and website.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Reinforce neighbourhood character and improve town centres

 

KBA wants to develop plaques/ signs around the Karanagahape Road area to commerate events and people from the areas cultural history. The plaques will tell the stories of the peoples & events which have left a mark on Karangahape Road. It could develop into a walking trail around the area. We believe the stories chosen will reinforce the character and uniqueness of Karangahape Road. In 2019, KBA completed its Identity Project recording the way 'K'Road' was before the major changes we are now experiencing and we see the plaques as a tool to use some of the Identify Project findings to tell our stories.

Conflicts of interest:

Project: Youthline Helpline funding in support of Waitemata youth

Location:

13 Maidstone St, Grey Lynn, Auckland

Summary:

We request funding of $7,500 as a contribution to the Waitemata share of $41,635 of the annual cost of $444,624 in Auckland for Helpline services in support of young people in need in the Waitemata Local Board area. 
The significant costs of the Helpline include Volunteer training, triage support, supervision and the telecommunications costs of operating the voice and text services.
After completing their 5 stage training pathway they advance to being solo counsellors where they receive triage support and supervision. Triage staff support, mentor and supervise the volunteers, and have responsibility for ensuring the safety of young people who contact us. Supervision is an essential process whereby volunteer counsellors receive regular support, training and mentoring from more experienced supervisors.

Expertise:

Youthline has been supporting young people in need through our Helpline for 50 years and we have serious expertise in providing this support.
We have built up considerable knowledge and experience over this period such that we are recognised as the premier support service for young people in need. Our 250 helpline volunteer counsellors receive intensive training and close supervision.
In an evaluation of the Helpline in 2019, 84.9% of respondents felt helped by the service with 90.3% being satisfied or very satisfied. 61.7% had contacted the Helpline about mental health related issues.
“Honestly this is the best support I've ever received in my life”.
“It was amazing talking to Youthline. It made me feel worth something to the world”.

Promotion:

The Youthline Helpline is promoted and marketing across a wide range of media including the Youthline website, Facebook page and various promotional activities. We have an extensive communications contact plan in place.
We will publicly acknowledge the local board’s contribution in the Youthline Annual Report, on our website, in social media and on our promotional material. We would also like to invite local board members to visit our Helpline hub located at the Youthline Youth Development and Community Centre in Grey Lynn.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

For many of the vulnerable young people we work with the first contact point with us is through the Helpline and our volunteer counsellors. Many of the young people are vulnerable – they are disadvantaged, disillusioned and disengaged.
Our Helpline is staffed by over 250 volunteer counsellors and last year they processed over 150,000 texts, calls and emails from young people in need. They are only able to do this vital work because they receive comprehensive training and are supported by triage staff and receive essential supervision.   
Triage staff provide ongoing clinical support. They provide essential clinical support for our volunteers to ensure quality service provision covering counselling, early intervention, education), training, health promotion activities (including information and seminars) and mentoring.
Supervision is an essential process whereby volunteer counsellors receive regular (monthly) support, training and mentoring from more experienced supervisors. 
The vital role played by Triage staff ensures that our volunteers provide the best and clinically sound support for young people in need. The community benefits significantly when we turn around these vulnerable young people so they become motivated and inspired to reach their full potential and help build a resilient community.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Ensure our communities have opportunities to lead active and healthy lifestyles

 

Young people in need who contact Youthline through our Helpline often feel lonely, alone, disengaged and desperate. They often have a reduced sense of belonging to family, school or community.
Youthline supports these young people, acknowledges their issues and is inclusive with a strengths-based, person-centred approach. We pride ourselves on celebrating diversity and aim to build a strong sense of belonging with the young people we work with. 
We support young people in need in terms of both their wellbeing and wellness – both of which promote “active and healthy lifestyles”.
Youthline helpline staff respond to situations of low to high and imminent risk across all mediums of contact, providing a continuum of support and linking service users with other agencies in their own communities. Utilising and promoting Youthline's strengths-based, wrap around approach, Youthline staff are responsible for the quality assessment and management of clients (young people and their families), including those with high and complex needs.
Youthline services equip youth with skills and insights on how to build self-esteem and improve mental-health, how to actively problem-solve, recover from setbacks and build resilience. Counsellors link them with local support services to assist their ongoing development. Through their improved emotional and self-management skills young people are less likely to fall into helplessness, depression, addictive behaviours, dangerous relationships and unemployment.
For many, the Helpline provides a doorway to a range of personal development and life skills programmes offered by Youthline including personal development, job skills (e.g. barista training, CV writing and job applications) and leaner licence training. All designed to better equip young people to be active and productive members of their communities. 
Research shows that when young people are engaged in community activities, linked with whanau, and given the opportunity to participate feel that they are part of something and encouraged to reach their potential, that risk taking behaviour is reduced.  Youthline works inclusively with youth, from those young people who are most vulnerable to youth leaders who are championing change.  Our clinical support workers counsel/mentor young people identified as needing one on one support to encourage and inspire them.  They aim to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each young person, then identify goals and milestones and develop a plan for successful implementation and progression. By walking beside a young person and providing positive role models Youthline aims to see every young person become a positive contributor to society with a strong sense of belonging to their local community.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

Youthline provides support services to young people in need across the ethnic spectrum.

For counselling, 10% of young people presenting are Maori which is proportionally low. 
 
All of our staff and volunteers are trained on the Treaty of Waitangi. Maori models of health such as Te Whare Tapa Wha inform our work with targets groups of rangatahi Maori. Youthline has a Maori working group (Nga Whetu Poutama) to guide Youthline to increase the organisation’s cultural capacity and inform the work that we do.

We would not amend our plan per se, rather we would continue being extremely proactive in applying for funding from a wide range of funders. The direct cost of the Youthline Helpline will be $792,914 this year which includes the cost of triage support and supervision for our volunteer counsellors. We receive contract income from the MSD/Oranga Tamariki of $90,000 per year. We have to fundraise the balance of $702,914. This is why your support is so vital.

We are providing a vital service to young people in need of support. We are the only youth-oriented organisation providing this service in your area. There is nowhere else for these young people to turn to.

Project: Sunday Blessings winter meals for homeless people 2020

Location:

Lorne Street, outside the central library 

Summary:

Sunday Blessings provides hot meals outside the central library from 6pm each Sunday and Tuesday for up to 150 people, mostly homeless, though people of meagre means also attend. We now know many of the people who attend, and we offer other support and activities as well, such as providing clothing and bedding. Aside from being fed, we see the meals as a way for people on the street to connect socially with each other.  During winter, nutritious food is harder to source and we want to continue to provide quality meals.

Expertise:

Some members of the group have been providing this sort of service for several years. Sunday Blessings took over from a previous group that provided meals outside the library for two years and then ran out of funds and volunteers.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - The area where the meal is served is accessible. There are a number of disabled homeless people who already attend the meals.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice

At every Sunday meal we have a supervised ‘waste station’ with clearly marked bins for different items: food scraps, recycling, compostable containers, washable cutlery etc. The containers in which the meals are served are compostable and we take them to be composted. Cutlery is washed and reused. We send the food scraps for composting. The compostable containers and cutlery are bought from Ecoware, Auckland. The food waste & containers are collected in compostable bin liners and returned to Ecoware during the following week for composting (as part of the service we pay for). To minimise waste, we encourage people to only take as much food as they can eat (rather than taking too much and then discarding it) and to re-use their container & cutlery if having extra helpings. The used cutlery and cups are brought home to be washed and returned for use the following week. Any broken ones can be added to the compostable waste as described above. Cooking trays and serving utensils are generally washed and reused. Any other recyclable waste is deposited in appropriate recycling bins. 
 
The meals include a wide range of vegetables and fruit, as well as protein, and we cater for vegetarians.

Project: Purchasing Food Components for Distribution by the Emergency Foodbank

Location:

Madeira Lane, Grafton, Auckland

Summary:

This grant will contribute towards the purchase of food components for our Emergency Foodbank which supported 5,606 children and adults in 2019 in Auckland facing a host of financial and life challenges. PSN's Foodbank will purchase food components, such as tinned and dried goods, which will be parcelled and distributed to families and individuals in Auckland faced with a temporary inability to afford food. The food is distributed upon referral from our financial mentors and other social service providers. Our emergency parcels provide 2-3 days coverage giving recipients the respite needed to get back on their feet and to feed their families.

Expertise:

Our Foodbank has been in operation for 25 years. It is a service of Presbyterian Support Northern (PSN) which was established 135 years ago. PSN's staff come from a variety of backgrounds and cultures and have a breadth of experience in working with a broad range of clients that enables them to provide support that is tailored to each client’s needs and requirements.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Each emergency parcel will help bring some relief to families and individuals, including those who are homeless, living in precarious financial situations and dealing with the realities of poverty. Our Emergency Foodbank services are designed to provide emergency cover of about 3-4 days for children and families. The majority of food parcel recipients are on benefits and are struggling to make ends meet. To those balancing on a financial precipice, unexpected car repairs or the costs of using extra petrol to look for accommodation can be the nudge that leaves them unable to cope - unable to feed their families. Our Foodbank allows food parcel recipients some much-needed time and space to find a more long-term solution – for instance until a next paycheque. It gives families time to plan ahead and relieves some of the tension and anxiety around their ability to feed their families. This in turn encourages families to start planning ahead and to look for alternative solutions for the future.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Ensure all members of the community have access to shelter and warmth

 

Our Emergency Foodbank helps relieve the financial strain that many families and individuals find themselves in, freeing up much-needed income to put towards rent and utilities. Each emergency parcel will help bring some relief to families and individuals, including those who are homeless, living in precarious financial situations and dealing with the realities of poverty. Our Foodbank provides those is financial crises, families and individuals, with emergency food parcels to help them weather the crises they may be facing.Our Foodbank provides those is financial crises, families and individuals, with emergency food parcels to help them weather the crises they may be facing.for instance Jane*, who found herself with only $50 for food once her power and petrol, which was essential to take her children to school and kindergarten, were paid. She also had additional travel expenses because her mother was on dialysis. Jane had stopped working to give birth to her youngest child and had also been through a relationship breakdown during her pregnancy due to domestic violence. She was keen to go back to her old job and was working hard to get her children into a routine before she accepts the job. Emergency food parcels enabled Jane to overcome this temporary hurdle, helping her to get back on her feet.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

PSN is cognisant that Maori are over-represented in all the worst health, justice and socioeconomic outcomes. This is very relevant to our work as the disproportionate number of our food bank recipients are Maori. As such, effectiveness for Maori will be at the heart of our work as we support families and individuals of all backgrounds.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our food bank parcels are available to everyone who requires them whether at our site or if this is not an option other arrangements are made.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages

PSN encourages good health and wellbeing of its staff and their families through our policies and practice. For instance, we send out regular wellbeing messages, keep our staff informed of ongoing health crises and have health and safety focal points at each of our sites. We provide recycling separation containers at each of our sites including in the kitchens.

Project: Volunteer training in regenerative organic food growing - weekend session

Location:

Kelmarna Gardens

Summary:

We plan to initiate a new volunteer training and participation session at the weekend. Currently we have two volunteer training days per week, but many people are unable to participate due to work commitments during the week, and we are close to reaching the capacity at our Tuesday & Friday training sessions.
 
Our project would extend our existing volunteer training day model to a Saturday session. Our volunteer facilitators train volunteers in all aspects of regenerative organic food growing practices, including all processes from propagation to planting to harvesting, on-site weed management, composting, soil health, tree care, and much more over time.
 
Volunteer sessions run from 10am - 2.30pm, including a shared communal lunch from the gardens.

Expertise:

Our volunteer programme has been developed and delivered over the past 5 years by our expert contractors engaged by the Kelmarna Trust to deliver our programme. Between them, Adrian Roche and Judy Keats have over 25 years' experience of establishing community gardens, teaching organic gardening, and training and managing volunteers.
 
Andy Boor, contracted to provide administrative support, marketing, and monitoring and evaluation for the programme, has 7 years' experience of volunteer recruitment, management and support.

We will also include the Local Board's logo on posters advertising our volunteer programme, and any general marketing flyers to advertise Kelmarna that we produce during the grant period.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Our volunteer programme equips participants with the skills, knowledge and confidence to adopt more sustainable lifestyles. Learning to grow their own organic food regeneratively at Kelmarna supports and encourages local residents to:
- reduce their food miles
- take care of our soil, water, and air
- reduce and repurpose their food scraps by composting, and change mindsets about waste vs. resources
- eat locally and seasonally
- eat a more predominantly plant-based diet
- support carbon sequestration and biodiversity in their backyard
 
As well as providing practical skills to enable low carbon living, research shows that people who feel more connected with nature are likely to have a greater sense of care for the natural world, and more likely to behave in ways that protect and enhance the environment (articles attached).
 
In relation to gradual, often unseen threats like the climate crisis, studies consistently find that humans are more motivated by positive appeals to values than by fear.
 
Kelmarna sets a positive example of regeneration and sustainability, using beautiful, abundant surroundings, and delicious, nutritious food to appeal to our better nature and demonstrate how the transition to a low carbon future can be a positive experience for us all.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      People have adopted low carbon lifestyles and live sustainably

 

Our volunteer training programme supports people in Waitematā to gain the skills and knowledge they need to adopt more low carbon lifestyles, primarily in relation to the choices people make about their food.
 
Growing your own
 
89% of our volunteers stated that they have learned new gardening skills, helping them to grow more food at home, more successfully. Home-grown organic food reduces transport emissions and removes many negative environmental impacts of conventional agriculture on our soil, water, and atmosphere.
 
More sustainable food buying choices
 
Teaching about organic food-growing begins conversations about wider sustainability in our food system, encouraging people to eat more locally, seasonally, and to choose food that regenerates rather than degrades our natural resources. 83% of volunteers stated that they had learnt something new that would help them to live more sustainably through volunteering at Kelmarna.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Kelmarna is a long-established centre for therapeutic gardening, which we provide for people with identified mental health or intellectual disability needs. As a result, we are very experienced in supporting people with intellectual disabilities to participate in our programmes.
 
Our project will also be accessible to many people with physical disabilities. As a farm site, there are parts of the site that are not accessible to people with all types of physical disabilities (for example wheelchair users would not be able to access all areas of the site). However, we are committed to working with individuals to enable participation wherever we can, suited to their individual needs.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

Smoke-free:
 
Kelmarna is a smoke-free site at all times.
 
Zero waste:
 
Organic gardening, and specifically the permaculture principles that we teach at Kelmarna, works on a cyclical basis, reliant on reusing resources to minimise inputs and waste.
 
We use composting to recycle "waste" into fertility for future growing, using hot compost, worm farms, and Bokashi systems. We reuse all of our own garden waste in this way, including processing noxious weeds into safe fertilisers, as well as processing organic resources from the local community/businesses (food waste, woodchip, sawdust, cardboard, etc). This also removes the need for synthetic fossil-fuel based fertilisers to grow our food.
 
These practices help us minimise the resources we use on-site, but more importantly we train our volunteers in these techniques and systems, so that they can put them into practice at home, and create a culture of resourcefulness and low-waste living.
 Healthy food and drink:
 
Our programme teaches participants all the skills they need to grow their own nutrient-dense vegetables and fruit. We provide a healthy lunch with fresh produce from the garden, as well as the opportunity for volunteers to be exposed to a wide range of vegetables, fruit, and herbs that they would not encounter in the mainstream food system.
 Encouraging active lifestyles:
 
Gardening is an active experience, using all parts of our bodies, and is proven to have significant health benefits (both physical and mental).

Financial information

Requesting grant for:

As the main new cost of delivering this project, we are requesting funding for the costs of the Volunteer Trainer. We are able to supply the majority of other costs of delivering the project through our existing materials, and donated resources.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

If our project could only be part-funded we would look at whether we could offer a shorter weekend volunteer session (2 or 3 hours), or consider offering a full session on a fortnightly basis instead.
 
Please note that on the project budget, we have not included any volunteer time as a contribution to this project, as primarily the volunteers participating in the project are here for their learning. However, it is worth noting that those volunteers are also contributing significant amounts to the upkeep and productivity of Kelmarna, and supporting the organisation's aims, through their time spent here.

- Carers will receive additional resources, along with the information about to plan for a disaster, to assist them in their caring role.
- Carers who aren't engaged with our service will become aware of our organisation and the support that we can provide
- Organisations will be able to collaborate to best support carers and those they care for, in a disaster (as demonstrated by the partnership with IHC and Carers NZ on wecare.kiwi
- Our organisation will receive information from carers about their needs in a crisis, so that we can develop appropriate resources to ensure that the support we provide is as effective as possible.
- We will be able to work with local government and government to ensure that carers are considered in disaster planning, and a local and national response level.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Empower our communities to enhance their resilience to disasters and the impact of climate change

 

Covid-19 is a worldwide crisis, which significantly impacts carers due to the vulnerable nature of the disabled, ill or elderly care-dependent loved ones they support. This crisis has also rapidly removed respite options from carers, as respite facilities have been forced to close over the level 4 alert period, meaning that many carers are now providing care for people with high and complex health needs, alone. This is a huge risk for carers and the loved ones they care for, due to the high probability of carer burn-out and exhaustion. 
 
Our organisation is working incredibly hard to support carers (and their loved ones) who have been left in a desperate situation, however, as this is an unprecedented event, no-one, not even our government and DHB's had prepared for this level of crisis. 
 
In response, and with the support of the IHC Foundation, we have quickly created https://wecare.kiwi/ to assist carers in this time of need. Your support via this grant will enable us to expand on this important work and create crisis response resources for carers, so that, in the event another disaster occurs, carers are well prepared and able to respond.

Project: Fewer Rats: More Birds

Location:

Grey Lynn

Summary:

PFGL has been encouraging residents to trap mammalian pests since 2017. We have already supplied about 100 traps in the community.  Evidence has shown to effectively reduce pest numbers to the point where native wildlife can flourish we need to have a trap 20% of gardens. With roughly 3100 houses across Grey Lynn we hope to get traps in 600+ gardens. By recruiting enthusiastic ‘street captains’ we hope to get as many traps out in the community as possible. We make participation by residents as simple as possible. We want it to be charge free so we can best position traps at any time, and provide ongoing support and advice as we gain a better understanding of most effective practices.

Expertise:

Predator Free Grey Lynn has been running for 3 years and we already have over 100 traps out in the community. We can also draw on the extensive experience, knowledge and contacts of Urban Ark – Manawa Taiao, the cluster organisation that works in our area.
Organiser Graeme Hill has decades of experience with New Zealand wildlife and has long-standing associations with experts in every field of New Zealand biology and predator control. Can provide references if you want.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

By becoming part of a suburb-wide effort to rid Grey Lynn of key mammalian pests residents will experience a heightened sense of  community. Not only will they be de-ratting their backyard, they’ll be reducing the rat population of the whole neighbourhood, hence contributing to a healthier environment and a noticeable resurgence of native wildlife, especially birds and our birdsong which should be part of the commonality of experience that is being a New Zealander.
By taking part in wildlife surveys, and noticing it rebound there will be a better understanding and appreciation of Aotearoa's uniqueness when it comes to biodiversity.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Increase the urban forest and enhance biodiversity

 

By encouraging and enabling Grey Lynn residents to trap in their own backyards and transmit data of catches to a central body (TrapNZ CatchIT) we hope to develop improving strategies to reduce rat, possum and stoat numbers to the point where native biodiversity can recover. We know that low mammalian pest numbers gives birds, lizards, and invertebrates a chance, but we also know that these animals need good flora to survive. A second plank of our project encourages residents to remove pest plants species and plant suitable natives.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

Waste minimisation: Participants will be using compost built in our Local Living Compost Hubs to replenish and restore the soil system of the park Pasture Paintings- the bee colony’s foraging habitat. Engagement with these Centres of Regenerative Learning enables people to rapidly transform their behaviours around waste streams- compost closes the loop of the carbon cycle, and encourages people to connect their own food to the environment and ecosystem that grows it. Resilient soil systems also hold and filter water better. MakeRipples will offer participants FTLOB’s Healthy Water and composting workshops as further actions to take in the waste minimisation space.
Smoke-free messaging: The Natural Beekeeping School is an outdoor experience that requires people to be critically considerate of the ecosystem they are working in. By interacting with the foraging and breeding habits of pollinators, participants are encouraged to see themselves as capable of removing harmful toxins from the soil through compost and planting, and putting the ecosystem back in alignment.
Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice: Biodiversity of planting can include fruits and veggies, which is visible at our interconnected Food Forest sites, High Street and Viaduct Harbour’s Local Living Compost Hub. When food is grown from a healthy, local soil system (compost) with biodiversity of plants, a food source is also created for pollinators, who act as indicators of greater ecosystem wellbeing. Microbial life in soil (from compost) also removes chemicals from water, increasing the filtration capacity of soil systems. This connects the Bee School and its hives to the other FTLOB Climate Change Ready Infrastructure as an interconnected food and carbon system. 
Encourage active lifestyles: The Bee School community gets to be outside, connecting with people in a green space, walking across the park from water and shade to hives, interacting with hives, and when directed to take further actions through FTLOB workshops will continue their connection to projects across the waitemata through our other programmes and opportunities, such as volunteering at an OMG Working Bee or taking part in, and eventually leading a Biking Bee for visitors and locals.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

There are many community benefits which fall into a number of key areas. They are:
 
1. Environmental education - learning from participation in conservation.
2. Enhanced public space - restoring a degraded forest habitat to a functioning system for nature, and for public enjoyment.
3. Social interaction  - providing opportunities for local members of our community to get involved, meet others, and give something back to our environment (have a purpose); and,
4. Health - participants get out into nature. Connecting with the natural world has been psychological and physical benefits.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Increase the urban forest and enhance biodiversity

 

The primary purpose of this project is enhance biodiversity within a degraded forested environment (16,651m2). We want to restore a natural forest ecosystem and see a return of native birds, lizards and insects to the area. Our project also provide a valuable connection with other natural ecosystems nearby such as Western Springs, Auckland Zoo, Jaggers Bush and Meola Reef Reserve.

As our project is in a public park and in a forest, we are committed to ensuring all activities are smoke-free. We will also put the smoke-free logo on any correspondence to our contact list. Similarly, we do not want rubbish to litter our forests, so volunteers will be asked to "take-in, take-out". At the activities which we provide refreshments, only water, fruit and healthy biscuits will be available. All the activities are outdoor activities and therefore good for peoples' health.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      People have adopted low carbon lifestyles and live sustainably

 

The Cup Project is bringing together Grey Lynn locals, who share concerns about the environment and their future, in a unique community venture which aims to reduce waste going to landfill. To make this a true village experience, Grey Lynn 2030 Waste Away is collaborating with participating cafés and local schools, sustainable businesses and several Auckland-wide organisations.
Engagement with the community embraces the philosophy of the Gift Economy, where people who are concerned about waste and the climate emergency offer their skills and resources to create a desirable object. This offers café customers the option to refuse  a single-use cup, and instead choose an attractive environmentally friendly Koha Cup for free.

As the event is run by youth for youth young people are also encouraged to attend the event as audience members, and to engage with local events in Waitematā. Walk the Line will be held in the NZFW tent in Aotea Square which can seat 600+ people, over 100 youth will also participate in Walk the Line.

Project: Doc Edge International Documentary Film Festival 2020

Location:

Online

Summary:

Due to COVID-19, Doc Edge Festival will be delivered as an online festival. This is not the usual online platform with a library of films, but a live event experience delivered online fostering community. In a time of forced social isolation, we want to continue to support our filmmakers and provide audiences and schools with quality viewing during this difficult time.

Expertise:

Doc Edge is a respected and important documentary organisation. Our track record over 15 years is proof that we are a capable and bona fide arts and cultural organisation that has enhanced the well-being of audiences. We are working with industry and technology experts to ensure the best online audience experience with this new way of delivery.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

At a time when arts and cultural events are either cancelled or postponed, Doc Edge will deliver a festival experience online offering the community a flow of authentic and important information through a range of world-class documentary films that will provide continuous social engagement and awareness.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

 

Doc Edge and its activities provide an opportunity for the community to actively participate and engage with each other through documentary films, talks and exhibitions. This helps to further understanding of the diverse communities.
Desperate times call for creative measures.
With the advent of COVID-19, we had to very quickly change our plans to deliver our physical events, the Doc Edge International Documentary Film Festival and our industry events. One thing is clear to us is that the old order is no longer and we have to figure out what the new norm is. There will be a new way we will behave, consume and interact with each other. This is key to designing any new products.
What we want to do is to innovate and provide for a “festival experience’ where a community can be built, where filmmakers and audiences interact, where audiences can discuss and debate with each other and for there to be curated films of the world’s newest and latest documentaries. Documentary is even more important in social isolation and people will need to be kept informed and aware.

Project: Hongi's Hikoi: A Trio of Travelers. Three Men. Three Countries.

Location:

Auckland Museum & Event Cinemas Auckland.

Summary:

One of a series of international bicentennial commemorative events acknowledging a historically significant event from our past. Public events which provide an opportunity for members of the local area (Waitemata and wider Auckland communities) to learn the most up to date educational information about NZ history. For participants to be permitted an opportunity to view taonga and cultural treasures (some of which has not normally been accessible to the NZ public before). We are also aiming to temporarily repatriate two of the busts of Hongi from England and Australia, to New Zealand, for our events.

Expertise:

Our Co-Director, Delise Kerehona, has organised and facilitated major community events over the course of her 10 year career as a regional manager of a series of youth centres and has worked on projects alongside Sir Richard Branson. The Director, Brent Kerehona (former military), is a historian and author; who has spent the past five years travelling and researching, working toward building relationships with the participating institutions as well as producing historical texts and online research papers - he will be delivering the educational component of the project.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

A more educated Auckland public in regards to certain aspects from within New Zealand history. The opportunity for members of the public to come together to acknowledge and commemorate a significant part of our our country's history. To provide access to taonga that normally out of reach of everyday Aucklanders.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

 

Our project acknowledges a historically significant event, the bicentennial of the 1820 journey to England by three of the most pivotal characters from within New Zealand early-19th century, these being Hongi Hika, Waikato and the then-missionary Thomas Kendall. 'Hongi's Hikoi: A Trio of Travelers' is a series of bicentennial commemorative events across three countries, including a number of prestigious institutions such as The British Museum, Cambridge University, Sydney University, Auckland Museum, etc; which will provide an opportunity for members of the public to participate in historically significant educational and commemorative events. There are also a number of educational initiatives included, such as academic journal articles, a short film, a bilingual children's book and a documentary.
 
These all align with the decision by the NZ Government's recent decision to make NZ History mandatory within the NZ Curriculum from 2020 onward; this is a way to bring up to date New Zealand history to the public, not only to our students in schools but to our people in general, from all stages in life and at their particular educational levels.
 
Our proposed events in Auckland are: 1) a traditional Maori ceremony at Auckland Museum (Monday 12th October) with a viewing of relevant taonga, and 2) an educational presentation and the screening of a short film, and a documentary at an Auckland cinema later that same evening.

Project: Festival Italiano

Location:

The Cloud, 89 Quay Street, Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010

Summary:

Festival Italiano is a yearly celebration of everything Italian in Auckland. It is organised by the Dante Alighieri Italian Society and aimed at all New Zealanders, regardless of their ethnic background. It is a free community and family day, with food, music and fun.

Expertise:

We have been delivering Festival italiano successfully for 15 years now and the event has grown in attendance and quality every year.

The Board acknowledged in all speeches, press releases, promotion and mentions of the event, written or audio (for example radio). Board members and representatives invited to the event and given the opportunity to speak on stage.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The community can enjoy free activities and entertainment, learn about Italian culture and the Italian community in New Zealand, have access to top quality food at affordable prices, spend a fun day with family and friends, learn about zero waste, community spirit, and partying the Italian way (which includes learning about responsible drinking). This year we will be also celebrating the incoming America's Cup and Prada Cup, offering Kiwis an opportunity to meat the Italian Team from Luna Rossa, which is something that really interest New Zealanders. PLEASE NOTE: As I am completing this form Auckland is in lockdown due to the Covid-19, and Italy has been devastated by this pandemic, so the Dante committee is aware that the future is uncertain as the event may need to be postponed or cancelled. A possibility could be to move it to February, while the Italian Team is still here, as long as it is not on a racing day. Of course if we deliver the event this year it will be an even more special celebration for both New Zealand and Italy (and the Italian community in NZ).

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Provide spaces and places that enable our diverse communities to connect, and feel welcome

 

We plan to deliver a community event which is free and open to all and appeal to a great number of local residents (Italian food and culture, convivial gathering, family friendly, vibrant, all-inclusive safe environment).

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

The Festival has always been Smoke Free, we have smoke free signs in all key areas
We have one of the best Waste minimisation programmes among Auckland's festival, with waste educators at each bin station, stall holders can use only compostable plates/forks/cups etc, there is hardly any food waste and all plastic trinkets and balloons are prohibited.
We always have a great choice of Italian food at the event, and free water 
We will be collaborating with Luna Rossa Team to promote sailing and possibly some youth football coaches - unfortunately the location (The Cloud or Newmarket) are not suited to actually practicing sport on the day.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$30000.00

Requesting grant for:

Venue, security, sanitation and Zero Waste, part of entertainment and part of flag, bunting and signage

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

Cut some costs in budget categories like entertainment and decorations, ask staff directly employed by the Dante to do more pro-bono work. Sadly the external contractors (such as venue rental, security, sanitation, electricians, ambulance etc.) still need to be paid in full. We also value the association with the Waitematā Local Board not only because of the financial support, but also because it would be impossible to run a free community event without the endorsement or a Local Board or/and Council. We value the importance of the association with the Local Board and the chance to have the Board's logo.

Show Me Shorts Film Festival Trust

Legal status:

Charitable Trust

Activity focus:

Events

Conflicts of interest:

None identified

Project: The 15th annual Show Me Shorts Film Festival

Location:

ASB Waterfront Theatre, Rialto Cinemas Newmarket & Cityside Baptist Church.

Summary:

We launch the Festival with our Opening Night and Awards Ceremony, held at ASB Waterfront Theatre. The Festival then spreads to more than 25 cinemas around the country.  Our flagship Auckland venue is Rialto Cinemas Newmarket, which will screen our films for ten days.  
 
Show Me Shorts attracts an audience with a wide range of demographics and has a slightly younger average age than most film festivals.  Our audience is divided into three categories:
 
•           film lovers – passionate long-term supporters
•           entertainment seekers – casual festival attendees
•           filmmakers – creatives and those who aspire to make films
 
Each February we host our Screenwriting Lab – a prestigious mentoring programme for emerging screenwriters held at Cityside Baptist Church.

Expertise:

The team at Show Me Shorts has been delivering the festival and associated events in Auckland since 2006.  The charitable trust is run by two employees, a team of 20 volunteers, and a motivated Board.
 
Festival Director Gina Dellabarca MNZM was one of the co-founders of Show Me Shorts in 2006.  Her background is in cinema management, film distribution and marketing. Festival Coordinator Mark Prebble comes from a background in filmmaking and theatre production.
 
The team is also supported by high profile industry patrons including: Sir Richard Taylor, Miranda Harcourt, Nick Ward, Te Radar, Kate Rodger and Francesca Rudkin.
 
We've transferred two upcoming Short Film Nights into online events to trial how this could work as a festival back-up plan.

Promotion:

Show Me Shorts will be promoted extensively, including:
 
•           Advertising – paid and contra placements across print, radio and websites (plus trailering in cinemas)
•           Outdoor – printed posters erected in cinemas and on the streets, thousands of programme brochures distributed through cinemas, libraries and cafes
•           PR – campaign managed by Mr Fahrenheit
•           Communications – targeted messages sent to our email newsletter database and social media followers across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube
•           Branding – design agency Studio Akin to create striking design collateral
 
If successful we will include acknowledgement of Waitematā Local Board on our website and in our programme brochure. We would also invite the board members to the opening night event.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The Covid 19 crisis is decimating for our screen industry. By October we will hopefully be getting things back to normal, and Aucklanders will be in need of collective cultural activities to bring us together. Show Me Shorts Film Festival will provide a wonderful opportunity for that. 
 
If there is a lockdown or social distancing still in place, Aucklanders will, more than ever, need ways to feel connected to each other and share their experiences remotely. We have the flexibility to transfer many screening events online if need be, so will be well positioned to offer experiences of artistic and cultural connection in either scenario.
 
Some typical comments audience members made on what they value about Show Me Shorts last year are: 
 
•           The reach! So many strong stories in such a short time!
•           Fantastic chance to see New Zealand stories on New Zealand Screens
•           Wonderful atmosphere and a unique opportunity to experience a variety of cultures
•           A rare opportunity to enjoy a night of culture and art with my community
 
The Festival also benefits local businesses with 43% of audiences spending more than $20 as part of their evening (on top of their ticket purchase).

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

 

Show Me Shorts provides a platform for Auckland audiences to enjoy and engage with the best short films from here and around the world.
 
The Festival draws new Auckland audiences to the arts with accessible programming that connects people from a wide range of backgrounds.  
 
For local short filmmakers we provide a vital means to reach audiences with their work and gain recognition for their talent through our awards programme.
 
We also run a range of educational events for aspiring and emerging filmmakers and offer special screenings for local school groups.

Requesting grant for:

A contribution to the costs of programming, printed promotional collateral, staffing and event/venue costs for staging our Opening Night & Awards Ceremony.  
 
Our Opening Night & Awards Ceremony brings together hundreds of short film lovers and makers from around Auckland.  The winning films are screened in their entirety, and the winners of Best NZ Film and Best International Film become eligible to enter the Oscars. 
 
The Festival screenings at Rialto Cinemas Newmarket give film lovers of all ages a wide variety of programming choices. This includes special events and Q&As focusing on films and guests from Great Britain.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We are committed to delivering the festival this year, but without strong funding support we will have to radically scale back our activities.  Pressure on finances will be high in these unprecedented circumstances and retaining our team will be critical to the future of the festival beyond 2020.
 
The best way to ensure the ongoing success of Show Me Shorts is for funding partners such as Waitematā Local Board to maintain and strengthen their support in 2020.  This will help ease issues we face from less stable income streams such as sponsorship.

Additional information to support the application:

It is impossible to predict exactly how the Covid 19 crisis will impact the festival. 
 
We have created a breakeven budget working on the assumption that public events will be allowed again in October.  If need be, we can take many of our events online with a mixture of live streaming and VOD.  While this would reduce some event costs, the programming, marketing and operating costs would stay largely the same.
 
With your support, we can weather this crisis, deliver crucial events to Aucklanders in 2020 and be in a strong position to flourish again when things return to normal.

In its 20 years of running, it has delivered to Aucklanders a free, fun, family day out which appeals to all while also promoting excellence in performance and talent developments of the arts. More recently this event has been tied into Auckland Anniversary weekend celebrations and has been described as the glue that holds together the separate Auckland Anniversary events.

 Cultural groups, bands and performing arts groups can apply to participate in the Parade, either entertaining the crowds at the Pre-Parade or performing in the Parade itself. These opportunities give them the opportunity to further their performance skills whilst also gaining experience performing in front of 100,000 spectators at the Parade.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$40000.00

Requesting grant for:

The Trust is applying for funding to cover the rent of the Santa Parade Costume Workshop.
Each year the Trust creates hundreds of costumes to ensure the Parade content stays relevant and magical. These costumes are created and stored at the Workshop together with existing Parade costumes and props.  Volunteer fittings and briefings take place there too. Without this Workshop, there would be no Parade.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

This year, because of Covid-19, it will be very difficult to make up the funding difference elsewhere if Council does not fund the Parade to a realistic level. There is no fat in the budget that can be cut, as most costs are either fixed overheads or Council required compliance costs.

Summary:

To add Historical significance and aesthetic enhancement to the streetscape for all the businesses who operate in the area, or workers and visitors who pass through it.  Contribute to the pedestrian experience and add a place of interest to the Heritage walks.  Invest in the restoration and protection of the Auckland Heritage Character overlay for the economic value in perpetuity.

Expertise:

We have completed the restoration of our Northern Face, Western Face and Southern faces of our building, consecutively, over the previous 4 years.  These significant projects and expensive, we raised the levies internally each time to do it.  Now, for our Eastern Elevation, we need financial help for the additional complexities of the marble entrance and slate steps, to preserve/restore and protect the Heritage of these features to a high standard.  For each project we have used company's that are experienced in restoring Heritage such as Colin McKenzie of McKenzie Plasterers and every project undertaken has been supervised by our Heritage Engineer, Steve Lough.  For the refurbishment of the internal structural columns we used ConTech, overseen by Steve Lough.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Creating an interesting cultural centre; a streetscape that stimulates creative endeavour and adds to a unique Auckland identity.  To encourage the Arts such as photography and video/movie making by providing a restored Heritage Character building, often used as a back drop or addition to story-telling.  To aesthetically enrich the area and enhance the experience of day to day commuters, encouraging social exchange and activities in the area.  Adding to the economic value of Heritage in this city.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Identify and protect places with heritage and distinctive character

 

To preserve Heritage for perpetuity, for people now and generations to come, as a rare example of Inter-war architecture; for Heritage walks that appreciate local history.   Our building tells a story and our front entrance, made from a New Zealand marble from the Takaka Quarry and steps of slate, are unique.  The building was originally built as offices for the Dalgety agricultural merchants and still displays their icon Ram proudly at the centre of our East elevation.  The story we tell is about business, agriculture and trade, as well as the style of the building.  This architectural style, also referred to 'interwar classical revival' or Neo Classical or BeuxArt and  use of local marble, makes it the 'little sister' building of the much larger Parliament House Building in Wellington, also referred to as 'Neo Classical' in design and also show cases NZ Takaka Marble.  This marble is rare because the quarry was opened only for a short time.  Historic knowledge of this quarry is not widespread.  Hence 41 Albert Street grande entrance is a great example of the use of this home-grown marble and of the elaborate design era of architecture that it models.   The building frontage is in dire need of restoration and the entire East Elevation, if restored, will provide a picturesque historic backdrop to the new footpath and streetscape of the area and significantly contribute to the Character overlay, adding to the cultural centre.  The Body Corporate Committee has raised funds from levies for the cement works and painting needed above the marble entranceway, but these funds fall well short of the amount required for the entire East Elevation project, which includes the marble entrance and steps.  We believe our buildings entrance, steps and other historical features are worth preserving and that it will make a significant contribution to the unique character and aesthetic of the area, adding economic value.

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori focus - tikanga (practises), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

Our building tells a story, korero paki, through its Heritage, story telling is the root of all cultures, through preservation we open the door to exchanging of stories.  We learn to understand and respect the stories of each others cultures. Maori uses the word 'Taonga' for historic items that have survived to tell a story.  Our Heritage buildings are the Taonga of Pakeha culture and we are learning to value them. There were many Maori and Pakeha that fought in both wars (WW1&WWII) and here is an 'inter-war' heritage building that references the period between those two wars.  This Taonga encapsulates a sacred period of time and can start a conversation and exchange of Korero paki between Maori and Pakeha.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$7500.00

Requesting grant for:

The project we need contribution for is on the Marble frontage and slate steps including: deep cleaning, paint removal from stone & slate steps, removal of foreign objects from stone face, fill and graft existing holes with replacement stone, dress face to blend, repair damage and restore stone, seal with penetrating, protecting and enhancing sealers

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

If we are successful with this application, it will fund only part of our large East elevation projects; we are prepared for this and have levy funds to contribute, however we are a small building already paying a very high levy which falls well short of the full amount needed for the East Elevation project and that is why we are requesting assistance for the marble.  If this application is unsuccessful, we may have to cancel the commencement date of this project, as both areas of the frontage need to be done together.

Cost of participation:

No cost to the public, it will increase their aesthetic experience of this area for free.

Project: New Zealand U13 & U17 Badminton Championships

Location:

Auckland Badminton, 99 Gillies Avenue, Mt Eden

Summary:

The New Zealand U13 & U17 Badminton Championships are the highest level junior event for young people in New Zealand. Providing two division's, the event caters to players of all abilities while focusing on delivering a fun and social experience across the four days of competition. The event also provides opportunities for players to practice other skills such as umpiring, with some players likely to transition into umpiring at an international level in future years.

Expertise:

Badminton New Zealand frequently hold major events, including the Barfoot & Thompson New Zealand Open, 12 National Championships per year and are hosting the BWF World Junior Championships in September, 2020.

Promotion:

We offer a thank you through our Facebook and Instragram pages as well as in the venue to the participants each day. Additionally, we would gladly have a board member join us for the presentations on the 14th of July and present trophies to participants and participant in our prize lucky dips.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The event provides local players with an opportunity to play in a fun and social event with friends. Badminton NZ are constantly working on enhancing this with spot prizes, free fruit and a relaxed environment throughout the four days of competition.
 
Being locally held, the event also significantly reduces the financial barrier to participation which is often experienced by players competing in out-of-town events. Badminton NZ will work alongside Auckland Badminton to ensure that as many players/parents as possible learn of this event, thereby maximising the players that we reach.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

 

As the #1 participation sport for Asian and Chinese communities (as per Sport Auckland) it is extremely important that high level and engaging badminton events are delivered to the Auckland Community. During the New Zealand U13 & U17 Badminton Championships, Badminton New Zealand will provide young children from across Auckland with an affordable and easy to access event, which allows them to learn new skills alongside their friends and then practice those skills against in a fun environment. By ensuring that we provide players with an outstanding event at this young age, we can ensure that high exercise rates continue into adulthood and throughout the Auckland Community.

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

Promote Smoke-Free Messages - All of Badminton New Zealand's events are smoke-free and this is advised to all participants at the start of the event. As a junior event, this is unlikely to cause any conflict.
Waste Minimisation - Badminton New Zealand will work alongside Auckland Badminton to firstly eliminate waste wherever possible, and where not possible select recyclable options, such as shuttlecock tubes being cardboard instead of cardboard lined with plastic.
Healthy Options - Badminton New Zealand will work alongside Auckland Badminton to ensure healthy food options are heavily promoted at the event. This is an expectation of parents that when their children join Badminton New Zealand at an event, that they will be looked after, in all ways, including their nutrition.
Encouraging Active Lifestyles - As a high intensity sport badminton directly caters to this. Behind fun and social reasons, health and exercise is the most identified reason for young people to participate in badminton.

Project: Gym Kids Gymnastics

Location:

Summary:

Gym Kids was the major hirer of Leys institute Ponsonby, when this was closed suddenly on 20/12/2019 we had to find alternative venues to deliver Gymnastics classes to the Ponsonby area.  We have had to move into two locations to cover the 6 days a week that we had been in Leys institute. This application is to purchase more equipment to be able to offer the same service.

Expertise:

Gym Kids has been operating since 2011. We started as a mobile gymnastics company and have grown to have our two bases in Ponsonby and a stand alone facility Gym Zone we developed in Hobsonville. Director Pablo has 30 years gymnastics and coaching experience along with a degree in Physical education and Sport.

Gym Kids has provided Gymnastics classes to 250-350 children per term in the Ponsonby area for the past 9years. In addition we run holiday programmes which host 30 children per day in the school holidays. We also offer School programmes delivery to 7000 students per year including many central Auckland schools. We give the opportunity to many children who would not have had the opportunity otherwise. The project is designed to enable us to continue delivery in two temporary locations. Neither have been able to cover the loss of the foam pit that was in Leys institute with extra equipment we will be able to replicate this experience.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Ensure our communities have opportunities to lead active and healthy lifestyles

 

Gym Kids is a social enterprise that is focused on building community connections and promote a Healthy Lifestyle. Our business has been built on bringing Gymnastics out of the traditional big clubs and moving it into the community. More children have had the opportunity to access the fundamental movement benefits that Gymnastics offers through the work we have done in the local community over the past 9 years.

These are washed and reused rather then thrown away. Our whole business is focused on promoting body awareness from a very young age. Children learn how to use their body and therefore set up the fundamental building blocks of movement. These help to build better physical outcomes and reduce injury when joining other sports later in life.

Project: West End Cup

Location:

West End Lawn Tennis Club Incorporated, 2 Fife Street, Westmere, Auckland 1022

Summary:

The event comprises of a number of separate activities that take place over a week with the key focus being the main tennis tournaments held on the Friday-Sunday.  During the week there is a inner schools tournament and the opportunity to hit with the Pros. The West End Cup is free to all spectators and quite unique to the region, and New Zealand. This event is entirely organised and managed by volunteers at a local club. The tournament participants are the top players in NZ and Internationally for both age group tournaments.

Expertise:

We have a long history of delivering this event. It had originally been run from the late 1940's until the 1960's.  It was reinstated in 2008 and ran annually in December until 2015 when no event was held due to the renovation of clubhouse facilities and in 2019 no event was held due to our Head Coach moving to Germany.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

It is a family-focused event that excels in bringing a diverse cross section of the community together in a public space and is free for spectators. This effectively maximizes the use of the existing facilities - the tennis club - and showcases tennis, while encouraging participation by community members in the event, in the sport and as part of the wider community. This event provides a safe environment that families and individuals can attend and interact with some of the best tennis players in New Zealand. There are lots of vantage points to get close to the action including the grass bank under the trees and from temporary seating on court.  There is wheelchair access from the ramp to the deck upstairs with a birds eye view from our recently finished glass balustrade.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

 

The West End Cup is free to all spectators and the community can watch from the grass bank under the trees, the upper deck with our recently completed glass balustrade or from the temporary seating on court.  It's the only lead in tournament run by an Auckland tennis club prior to the ASB Classic and the standard of tennis is fantastic.  We now have Carter Tennis running our coaching programmes and they also coach a number of national youth players, so we envisage that the Junior girls and boys entries will be quite strong.  This will be another drawcard to attract many of our younger tennis players and their families. Also there are a number of older residents in our neighbourhood who have been involved in tennis and are keen to spectate.

We have benefited from Auckland Council's generous support of our West End Cup tournament for several years.  Historically we would have provided letters of support but our access is slightly inhibited due to current circumstances.  We are keen to hold this event post COVID-19 to give our community the opportunity to enjoy an amazing tournament in their own back yard once the dust has settled.  The supporting documentation could be more up to date.  Hopefully it provides a window to the event but please ask Richard Northey, Pippa Coom and Adriana Christie for feedback on the event.

Project: The New Zealand Dance Company Tāmaki Tour

Location:

Various locations around Auckland

Summary:

In 2020, NZDC's Youth & Community Engagement Programme will see the Company tour 'Matariki for Tamariki', a "whole whānau" work for youth, families/kid-adults to schools around Auckland as a part of its annual Tāmaki Tour. 'Matariki for Tamariki' has been created to be performed in adaptable spaces - from classrooms and school halls to theatres.
 
For those schools that would like to hold dance workshops for their students, NZDC will offer these to accompany performances of 'Matariki for Tamariki', offering students the chance to work directly with highly skilled dance practitioners.
 
NZDC is committed to fostering young people's access to high-quality arts experiences and seeks to provide participatory/performance opportunities to a range of schools - with low or no cost.

Expertise:

With significant experience in delivering community events, NZDC delivered 37 performances, 226 workshops and classes to 3944 tamariki in schools across Auckland and Northland in 2019 alone. 
 
We look forward to bringing more access to this superb show for youth and communities across Tāmaki Makauaru in 2020.
 
NZDC is a high-calibre community of dancers, creative collaborators, arts managers and supporters dedicated to producing and presenting inspiring new dance for Aotearoa/New Zealand and the world. We exist with the desire to change the way audiences experience contemporary dance - to break boundaries and share its power, beauty and humility.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

'Matariki for Tamariki'  toured to schools and was performed in venues across Auckland over the Matariki period in 2019 and engaged meaningfully with local artists and audiences.
 This project enables access, inclusivity, participation and opportunity for Aucklanders of all- ages to engage; employs NZ’s top dancers; and creates contemporary dance that is praised for its quality, creativity and contribution to the cultural fabric of Aotearoa.
 
The key outcomes of this project are to encourage inclusiveness, increase participation and uplift our community, especially after the crisis of COVID-19. By bringing this project to schools, we would be able to engage with young people while educating them about Māori culture and tradition in the context of Matariki. We hope to take young people across Tāmaki Makauaru on a journey of cultural exploration and deepen understanding of the Māori connection to the land of Aotearoa. Our workshops will promote more active participation in the arts and develop participants; collaborative skills and creative thinking.

Alignment with local board priorities:

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

As part of NZDC's 2020 Youth & Community Engagement Strategy, our Tāmaki Tour programme focuses on connecting with youth and different communities across Tāmaki Makaurau through bringing high calibre dance performances and workshops to schools across the region. After the success of last year’s Tāmaki Tour we are bringing back ‘Matariki for Tamariki’ by accomplished New Zealand dancer and choreographer Sean MacDonald (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāi Tahu), which was proudly a part of the 2019 Auckland Matariki Festival. A celebration for the whole family, Sean brings to life a world where a band of players, a group of friends, and a whānau travel throughout Aotearoa and its landscape of lush ngahere (forests), mighty maunga (mountains), and majestic moana (oceans), encountering the flora and fauna through seasonal changes. The journey begins and ends through the setting and rising of the Matariki whetū (star) cluster. Along the way, the performers inhabit the wairua (spirit) of each of the nine whetū of Matariki and through their adventures use the power and meaning of karakia (prayer), ritual, waiata (song) and whakapapa (lineage) to plant the seeds of new beginnings for hope of the future ahead. Sean’s majestic choreography paired with evocative costume and set design by Rona Ngahuia Osborne as well as spectacular sound design by Alistair Deverick will leave kids and “kidaults” alike filled with joy and gratitude for the whenua (land) we call home.
 
Integrated with NZDC’s Tāmaki Tour, schools are also offered creative workshops where the students are able to explore the themes and movement used in ‘Matariki for Tamariki’ alongside a unique educational resource. Students will also be given a chance to investigate their own interpretation of Matariki through creative tasks used in the workshops. These workshops will embrace the creative and artistic potential of students across Tāmaki Makaurau. The idea of engaging with local schools is to involve students and encourage active participation to celebrate the vibrant arts and cultural scene of our shared community. In the Waitematā Local Board, we are currently in conversation with St. Mary's College, with whom we have engaged in the past. 
 
Additionally, our entire preparation for going on our Tāmaki Tour will occur at our home of Wellesley Studios, which is located in central Auckland and is a part of the Waitematā Local Board. 
 
Given the current circumstances in regard to COVID-19, we anticipate that our first opportunity to perform and engage with audiences is through our Tāmaki Tour programme, scheduled for end of June/early July 2020. We believe that following these next several months, the youth of Henderson-Massey will need uplifting through the arts. Depending on how the COVID-19 situation unfolds here in Aotearoa, we also have the capacity, funding willing to deliver our Tāmaki Tour Programme digitally if required by live streaming the show or workshops affiliated with the show. This live stream would occur from Wellesley Studios, which again is located in Central Auckland, which is a part of the Waitematā Local Board. Additionally, we remain flexible in terms of our engagement date being postponed beyond June if necessary.

The work ‘Matariki for Tamariki’ celebrates the traditions and stories inherited from Māori ancestors through the lens of contemporary dance paired with sound, costume  and set design. Our Tāmaki tour will allow youth of local communities to engage in Māori culture and heritage through performances of ‘Matariki for Tamariki’ as well as workshops. Teachers will be aided in preparing for our engagement and continuing lessons afterwards with our educational resource, which is provided upon confirmation of booking.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - We have the ability to perform in adaptable spaces -individual school dependant. If the current situation with COVID-19 continues and we are not able to deliver in schools, our digital programme would be accessible to any student in the school.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

Through our workshops offered as part of our Tāmaki tour, students will be encouraged to move their body and participate actively. We hope that through this, youth will enjoy dancing and engaging their body creatively, encouraging them to continue this practice in everyday life. Performances will also leave youth inspired to try movement out for themselves, in addition to watching others engaging.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$12000.00

Requesting grant for:

Subsidising the cost of performance/workshop delivery for schools, artistic costs and fees for the remounting and delivery of "Matariki for Tamariki", and the cost of camera hire for a digital alternative to delivery.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

Any amount would be helpful in the cost of delivering workshops and performances to local schools. We would like to keep the cost to schools minimal or free of cost to accomplish our mission of making art accessible for all. Therefore, we would still like to deliver this project even if only part of it is funded. However, if the project is only partly funded, we may need to ask schools to contribute towards our delivery cost or alternatively, reduce the number of schools we visit and mobilise financial reserves to cover shortfall.

Cost of participation:

Scaled programme fee dependant on schools' ability to contribute to fee. Performances would range from free to koha to a set fee.

Project: Youth programmes for young people with disabilities

Location:

Auckland

Summary:

Recreate NZ offers youth development programmes for young people who have disabilities and youth volunteers. The youth programmes we are applying for are called "Urban Youth" events and these are regular events that bring young people together to celebrate diversity, take place out in the community and increase opportunities for those who are often socially isolated to develop in social confidence.
 
Urban Youth events are taking place within local board areas and we are applying to local boards where greatest attendance of young people of these events are coming from. Our budget is for 40 youth events for the coming year which typically have attendance of 25 young people with an intellectual disability and 7 youth volunteer support workers.

Expertise:

For 18 years Recreate NZ has been committed to creating life changing opportunities for youth with disabilities and support to their families. Over this time Recreate has followed a vision to create a quality service delivered by passionate and experienced youth workers. Our team consists of staff who have worked with our youth and families for an average of 7-15 years of the life of the organisation.
 
Staff and volunteer training are maintained and consistent and we are specialists in the youth and disability field.
 
In line with this Recreate was awarded the I AM Auckland “Youth Safe” award in 2014 and 2015 for following best safety practices and creating an environment that young people feel safe to be themselves.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Whilst our community benefits are vast, here are some key outcome we see;
We observe young people who are often socially isolated, then grow in confidence as they find a place of acceptance and belonging. Outcomes extend to a greater self-awareness and independence as youth develop in areas of life that they may not have engaged in before.
As we value the diversity, acceptance and uniqueness of all children and young people we see the general community engaging in this value.  It is our vision to encourage the positive development and inclusion of the current and future generations of youth with disabilities within our society.
Recreate's key value is young people being supported by young people, learning from each other and working towards a more inclusive New Zealand. Through the value we see opportunities for young volunteers to develop as future leaders and mentors.
Recreate supports young people who are a vulnerable group within our community, due to their disability, require support and practical life skills to be able to safely access community.
Urban Youth programmes offer the opportunity to become engaged in mainstream social activities that other young people in the community are involved in, normalising disability/diversity, increasing inclusion.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Waitematā

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

Recreate NZ is a community group whose core purpose is to offer youth development programmes for young people with disabilities and youth volunteer workers, we are making a significant difference for young people who are often overlooked and not included within community.
 
We often see disabled youth facing significant barriers within the community, including prejudice, lack of understanding and lack of opportunities to develop meaningful skills, with an unequal access to employment and education. In our experience, disabled youth face similar barriers along with other marginalised group and are excluded from community life. 
 
Recreate NZ is dedicated to removing these barriers, and create life changing experiences in their place. Our youth development  programmes encourage the acceptance of the diversity of people with impairments within the community. 
 
We are pursuing a more inclusive Auckland through the means of disabled youth participants being supported by members of their community to participate fully in society and have equal opportunities. We observe youth who are often socially isolated, then grow in confidence as they achieve beyond their own expectations, finding acceptance and belonging in the Recreate and wider community. This encourages a confident response to other areas of their life such as further education, independent living, employment opportunities, increased socialisation and an active role in community life. Recreates youth development outcomes also extend to a greater self-awareness and independence as their youth are able to develop in areas of life that they may not have engaged in before attending Recreate.
 
Our project is a series of youth events for young people with disabilities and youth workers, which highlights our core value; young people supporting young people, working towards a more inclusive New Zealand.

Summary:

StarJam programme has 3 components:
a) weekly community music workshops: a welcoming participant-centred recreational outlet promoting learning through social/ physical/ mental activity. Focus on positive interaction with freedom to be musically creative and to input ideas.
b) quarterly community discos (open to people with disabilities from wider community): people with disabilities can socialise and dance in a safe environment free from judgement.
c) community performance programme;  a public showcase for Jammers’ music skills, instilling confidence, promoting connecting with/giving back to community.

Expertise:

18 years of sustainable operation and growth since inception in 2002 when just 1 workshop was provided to 12 Auckland youth with disabilities.
 
Regional workshop programme has since developed with a shift to community-based music and performance workshops as a pathway to connection and well-being for young people isolated and inactive through disability. 
 
Auckland led the way in 2006, the Hamilton region opened in 2010, Wellington in 2011, Christchurch in 2012, Tauranga in 2015 and Wairarapa in 2018. Numbers have grown steadily to current figures of over 500 participants attending 47 regional workshops, many areas experiencing heavy waiting lists.
 
Attendance, feedback and continued inquiries from our community affirms our reputation as a provider of quality programmes for youth with disabilities.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Waitematā

·      Ensure our communities have opportunities to lead active and healthy lifestyles

 

StarJam accepts all young people with disabilities (including high needs) between 6 and 25 years, with no discrimination by disability, ethnicity, background, ability or prior experience. The participants of the workshop (Jammers) collectively experience physical, intellectual, behavioural, sensory and emotional disabilities.
StarJam offers 3 workshops in the Waitemata area.
Many Jammers have had previous experiences of failure/rejection in other community groups mainly due to the fact that their needs/behaviour were too high and/or challenging. They often come to StarJam with poor self-esteem, low expectations and poor physical/ social/ mental health through isolation and inactivity.
Workshops are donation-based with trained volunteers on hand to support high needs participants and to make sure the Jammers are in a safe environment. There are no similar outlets for youth with disabilities in the Waitemata area. They give young people with disabilities the opportunity to feel valued, connected and part of a close-knit community group. StarJam is often a Jammer’s first experience of friendship and of being recognised for their ability (not disability).
StarJam gives young people with disabilities to have opportunities to learn and develop skill sets, participate in regular recreation, engage socially/physically/ mentally in an environment without judgement; therefore reducing isolation, developing self-worth, connecting with/contributing to community, supporting/strengthening families.
We give the opportunity for ‘Jammers’ to lead healthy and active lifestyles and to gain tools that will support successful integration into communities and assist them to reach their full potential.
 
Quote from Jammer parent - "The impact on James has been huge. StarJam is an immense motivator for him. I think he loves the fact that he’s the one in the family saying ‘goodbye’ and is off out the door to ‘his’ activity – whereas normally it is the others in the family while he is at home. It does absolute wonders for his self-esteem! When he arrives at StarJam each week he runs through the door – the only time he ever runs! He is so animated with his dancing. He is the happiest I ever see him when he’s at StarJam. His self-esteem, eye contact and confidence have all increased."

Conflicts of interest:

Project: Shared Reading groups

Location:

Ranui library, Selwyn day centres, East Coast Bays library, Panmure Library, St Heliers Library, central City Library, Artspace Aotearoa, Elizabeth Knox Home & Hospital, Selwyn Village, Totara Hospice, Ellen Melville Centre, North Shore (care home to be confirmed)

Summary:

We will run at least 15 shared reading groups around Auckland and train new volunteers to start more groups. We estimate an additional 5-10 groups within the 12 months of this project. Our manager/volunteer coordinator recruits, trains and supports each Reader Leader and their group. She visits the groups and provides mentoring and hosts coffee groups for volunteers, writes a newsletter, provides resources and databases and writes reports for stakeholders and host communities. This role is essential to ensure that we provide the highest quality service to our diverse participants.

Expertise:

The Reading Revolution has delivered shared reading groups since 2015 within such diverse communities as prisons, libraries, care homes and drug rehabilitation. We provide Read to lead-an immersive three day programme for our Reader Leaders and provide ongoing support. We have been trained by The Reader Organisation UK to deliver the highest international standard and are the only New Zealand based trainers. Staff at our host communities report to us that shared reading furthers their own goals and aspirations for residents/ clients. "It has built a great relationship between difficult clients and staff" - (Auckland libraries) "It helps people to be open and ready for therapy by encouraging them to look at their own stories from a different angle" (Odyssey)

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Many of our participants have experienced loneliness and isolation. Our groups break down barriers for people with anxieties as the story and poem are the centre of attention in the room. This breaks down initial nervousness about what to talk about. Our Reader Leaders are intensively trained to be very welcoming and value each contribution as a gift so participants quickly build confidence to begin contributing to the discussion. We encourage a personal interaction with a text so we ask very open questions to the group. Our discussion is non-academic there are no right or wrong answers. We are there to create an interpretation unique to the time and place.
 
Research on shared reading in the UK:
Readers responded like this:
 
94%
I look forward to the group as an important event in my week.
 
91%
The reading sessions make me feel better.
 
84%
I've made new friends within the group.
 
Shared Reading volunteers say...
Our community-led model means that Shared Reading has a ‘double impact’, benefitting our volunteers as well as our readers.
 
94%
... it has given me a sense of achievement
 
86%
... it has increased my enjoyment of reading
 
84%
... it has improved my wellbeing

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Waitematā

·      Provide spaces and places that enable our diverse communities to connect, and feel welcome

We specialise in connecting diverse communities! We currently have two shared reading groups in the CBD at the library, one of these groups is run by migrants Om & Alisha for other "new Aucklanders" we also have a group at Artspace on K Rd. (serving people with anxiety) and two more groups in planning stages. Our group at the central City library on Fridays has been running since 2016 and integrates rough sleepers, older people, new migrants, students, people with disabilities and other library users. This group is our flagship library group and a model for all librarians and volunteers wanting to use library spaces to integrate isolated and/or older people within communities. 
 
We use quality literature that deals with what it means to be human- providing a safe space for people to share their own experiences in relation to the stories and poetry. The Reader leaders model our philosophy that every contribution to the group is a gift and this sets the bar for acceptance and celebration of difference and diversity. 
 
Diversity is celebrated in the excerpt of discussion shown below- when participants contribute their own knowledge to help us understand the stories and poetry, taking leaderships roles within discussion: 
 
"13 people: Today we read a story about a young boy named Iqbal, who has moved to Australia as a refugee with his mother and sisters. Towards the end of the story, we learn that Iqbal’s father was killed, and that his family lived for awhile in a UN camp. J explained that the Sudan is separated into North Sudan and South Sudan. He said that South Sudan is in a state of civil war, so we surmised that Iqbal and his family are probably from this region.
Much of what we talked about related to the experience of moving to a new place. I reread one of the early lines, in which Iqbal compares the smell of the gum trees to that of ‘drying blood’. I said how when I first moved to Aotearoa, sometimes even positive things seemed negative to me, because I felt homesick. I asked if anyone else could relate to this. T said that it was this way for his daughter, and that though she likes Auckland, it smells different from where they lived in Japan. M added that when she went back to Russia for the first time after moving here, she realised that what she’d missed was the smell. G-L spoke about the light in Aotearoa, and how it’s different from the light elsewhere. 
Throughout the session, we also discussed how certain smells and sounds can evoke memories.
G-L told us that the word for honey in Mandarin means both ‘sweetness’, and is a play on the word for ‘intimacy’. Maria linked this to the connection between Iqbal and Olive in the story, and noted that though they appear to have nothing in common, they’re bound by loss and beekeeping. G-L also shared that when her mother died, her funeral was very traditional; and so G-L's brother needed to be present for the funeral to begin. She said how overwhelmed with grief her brother was, so at first he couldn’t bring himself to attend; and how she had had to be the one to go and talk to him."
 
At Artspace we serve a community of people with anxiety so this loving acceptance is even more important as participants battle just to come through the door! 
 
We have two more groups that will commence soon- one at the Ellen Melville centre that will focus on NZ & Pacific literature and another group that will be held at the library in Mandarin. This is a collboartive project between our Mandarin speaking volunteers and a Mandarin speaking librarian.

Yes - Shared reading is always held in fully accessible spaces. We read all stories and poetry aloud within sessions to break barriers for people with blindness or low vision or other perceptual reading impairments such as low literacy. We are currently working with Blind & Low Vision NZ on our Ranui library project. Our volunteering programme is also accessible we currently have fantastic volunteers with MS and Parkinsons who are able to share their talents and give back to the community through shared reading. Breaking down barriers to participation is one of our top priorities. We also work with many participants with various mental health conditions which is why it is so vital that we provide the best support for volunteers.

We are a very light organisation as we are volunteer based. However we need one paid professional role at the heart of it all. We are applying for wages for our manager/volunteer coordinator for 25 hours per week. The role of Reader Leader is intense and we need to provide the best wraparound support for our volunteers to ensure the sustainability of our projects and that best practice is observed. It is a top priority that volunteering is a fun and rewarding part of people's lives and we provide the highest quality service to communities with happy healthy volunteers!

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We will continue to apply for lotteries funding and other funding sources. Our manager will continue to work as a volunteer during this time if there are gaps in funding. This is financially very difficult for her but she is fully committed to this project.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Developing community and connection for LGBTQI+ people, reducing isolation and loneliness. Our phoneline is an avenue for LGBTQI+ people to reach out and connect with their peers, helping reduce feelings of loneliness. Many of the regular callers to OUTLine are older people who may not be able to access other forms of community connection easily, for example attending events. OUTLine can be a real lifeline for these folks, who just want to connect with someone who has a similar life experience and can understand what’s going on for them.
Growing the capacity of LGBTQI+ communities, by training and supporting volunteers. OUTLine’s phoneline is a service that’s by our community, for our community. We invest in the training and support of our volunteers, which builds up their skills, and overall grows the capacity of our communities. Further, volunteering is an important way that people can develop their sense of belonging to LGBTQI+ communities, and grow their own confidence and sense of identity. The Youth’12 study showed that LGBTQI+ youth are more likely than their peers to be volunteering for their community, and OUTLine provides an important way for them to get involved.

 

 

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Waitematā

·      Empower our communities by supporting community-led initiatives

OUTLine trains volunteers from within LGBTQI+ communities, teaching them the skills needed to effectively support others over the phone line. Through this training and ongoing support, we empower volunteers to be able to help others in need in the community. OUTLine is a community organisation that is for us, by us. 15% of our calls are explicitly attributed to the Waitematā local board area, and the actual number will be significantly higher, as many of our calls are from unknown locations. Many of our volunteers also come from this area.

 

Collaborating organisation/individual

Role

New Zealand Aids Foundation

We rent our office space in Hargreaves Street, St Mary’s Bay, from NZAF. They are located in the same building, enabling smooth collaboration between our organisations.

RainbowYOUTH

We work closely with RainbowYOUTH on a number of projects, and we jointly deliver a transgender peer support service. We refer young people who call to RainbowYOUTH, and similarly RainbowYOUTH refers people to the OUTLine phone line.

Body Positive

OUTLine works closely with Body Positive. All new volunteers will visit Body Positive as part of their training to learn more about their services to enable referrals.

 

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

OUTLine is committed to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and prioritising the needs of takatāpui (LGBTQI+-identifying Māori) within LGBTQI+ communities. Through our recruitment process we ask candidates how they would contribute to OUTLine’s journey towards biculturalism. Through our advocacy work, advocating for the needs of LGBTQI+ communities, we consider how the needs of takatāpui may be different, and incorporate this into our messages.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our building is accessible for people with mobility difficulties, and we are also rolling out volunteer from home options. By providing support via phone we are able to reach people who may be housebound or otherwise find face to face support challenging.
 
OUTLine is also aware of the accessibility challenges a phone line can present, specifically to deaf communities and those with some speech impediments. OUTLine has a project establishing online chat to overcome this barrier. OUTLine is proud of how adaptable and committed to accessibility our face to face counselors are. If a service user notifies us about an accessibility issue with our organization we do our best to make sure they have full access to our service.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice

We have signs around our work space indicating that we are a smoke free office. OUTLine has a policy around being smokefree including creating a culture which facilitates smoking cessation. Our volunteers have information about services like Quitline that they can refer to if a caller is asking for support around smoking cessation.
 
We have clearly labeled recycling bins in our office kitchen and actively encourage our staff to recycle. We also have a compost bin for compostable items, which significantly reduces our waste.
 
At all volunteer events we provide a range of kai and drinks, and always have fruit and water available. Most catered events at OUTLine will be fully vegan or vegetarian. We aim for events to be zero waste.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$30000.00

Requesting grant for:

We are seeking funding to help cover the costs of running the phone line, in particular the costs of volunteer training, support and clinical supervision. We are also seeking support for some of the other associated costs such as advertising and promoting the service, stationery, insurance, IT costs and office expenses.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We’d likely need to reduce the number of initial comprehensive training sessions that we do, so we’d have fewer volunteers, and therefore fewer costs associated with volunteers (clinical supervision, support costs).

Project: RainbowYOUTH Peer Support Groups

Location:

Multiple locations across the Local Board areas

Summary:

RainbowYOUTH offers a diverse selection of peer support groups where queer, intersex and gender diverse young people can be themselves in a safe, friendly social environment with likeminded people. Rangatahi who need more support get referred to our support team by facilitators. Five of our groups are run out of our Auckland drop-in centre on Edinburgh Street in the CBD; an additional four are run in East, North, South and West Auckland. All RainbowYOUTH groups are run by young people on a volunteer basis; RainbowYOUTH runs hui each year to train these facilitators. The groups are: 
I.D., G.Q., Star*, ArtistRY, and Asian Peer Support Group (all central)
SouthPride (Papakura)
OutEast (Howick)
QWest (Henderson)
Queer 4 Shore (Takapuna)

Expertise:

RainbowYOUTH has been delivering peer support groups since its inception 30 years ago. Over this time thousands of young people have benefited from group support and our focus on safety and youth-centric governance have ensured that the popularity of these groups has grown massively over this time. Over the years RainbowYOUTH has developed an efficient structure around the administration of these groups, including employing a Volunteer Coordinator whose role is to ensure all group facilitators receive the training and support they need. We have well-realised and documented health and safety procedures around these meetings, evidenced by our MSD accreditation, and provide a budget per meeting for kai and any other needs.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

RainbowYOUTH aims to facilitate peer support groups which are safe, relaxed and fun environments for queer and gender diverse youth to socialise. All RainbowYOUTH events are drug, alcohol and smoke free and facilitated by trained staff or volunteers. With this foundation we aim to achieve the following outcomes for our young people:
- Encourage volunteering and grow leadership skills and confidence
- Increase connectedness and community
- Reduce negative mental health outcomes
- Reduce the isolation that young people can feel and allow them to explore their identities in a safe environment
- Have facilitated discussions about issues affecting them
- Provide a fun social environment where they can participate in hobbies or activities they enjoy with their rainbow peers
 
Long term, as an organisation we wish to lower the negative wellbeing outcomes for all intersex, queer and gender diverse youth. As all RainbowYOUTH groups are run by-youth for-youth, they are a vital form of support which is community-led and engaged on an appropriate level for the children and young adults who attend them. Ultimately the community as a whole will benefit hugely from healthy, happy and engaged rangatahi who are confident in their identities and in themselves.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Waitematā

·      Provide spaces and places that enable our diverse communities to connect, and feel welcome

The five peer support groups run from our central Auckland drop-in centre meet these priorities by celebrating the diversity of LGBTQIA+ young people in Auckland. The groups specialise in a range of ages, cultures and identities. Young people who attend are able to build community and confidence in a safe space where they are free to express themselves. They are able to access volunteer opportunities and referral to other support structures. Above all they are free to make new friends, have fun and be themselves freely, allowing them to feel like they belong. Over 400 attendances were recorded in 2019.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

One of RainbowYOUTH's core values is honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi. For our peer support groups, we teach facilitators about Aotearoa's colonial history, and provide guidance for incorporating tikanga Māori into group meetings, for example using karakia. We have takatāpui (LGBTIQ+ Māori) young people attending peer support groups, and our facilitators create space for group members to bring their cultural identity into the group alongside their LGBTIQ+ identity. We are exploring having a takatāpui specific youth peer support group, and are being led by takatāpui in this space.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - RainbowYOUTH's Auckland drop-in centre is accessible, with wheelchair access and disability-friendly fittings in the bathrooms such as metal handles. We have been accredited by Be.Accessible as a Bronze level organisation for accessibility, and have made a number of improvements based on their feedback. We pride ourselves on providing a safe and welcoming space friendly to all forms of diversity in Auckland's queer and gender diverse whānau including neurological and physical disability.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice

RainbowYOUTH is a smokefree organisation. All of the groups are smokefree, and facilitators actively promote that aspect of the group at meetings. There are smokefree posters around the drop-in centre, and we provide access to cessation services where needed. We have a thorough waste management system at RainbowYOUTH, with recycling and composting which reduces our overall waste. We educate volunteers about waste management, how to compost, etc. We are currently developing a healthy food and drink policy, and have signs around the drop-in centre encouraging people to drink water, and letting them know they can drink water at the drop-in centre. We always have a variety of kai available at groups and events, including fruit.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$18722.00

Requesting grant for:

Funding contributes to the total budget for each group, which includes many items including kai, supervision costs, koha, stationery and printing, volunteer reimbursement, venue costs, hui costs, workshop costs, travel costs and staff time. Please see attached full budget breakdown for full details. Funding from Local Boards will be directed specifically toward:
- The food budget ($25 per meeting)
- Volunteer/facilitator koha ($10 per facilitator per meeting)
- Venue costs
- End-of-year volunteer appreciation
- Facilitator supervision
- Stationery and printing costs

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

Any shortfall in funding will be covered through RainbowYOUTH reserves or possibly future funding applications. RainbowYOUTH is primarily funded through grants and government contracts as well as donations, and therefore untagged reserves are limited. In order to ensure our peer support programme is sustainable, it is important that we seek out reliable funding streams in order to maintain and grow our services.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Online sessions linked to the project will be communicated both visually and through sound, and will enable both visually impaired and hearing impaired to be able to access the content from wherever they are. No undue travel is necessary. All online sessions will also be made accessible to them at any point - so they can log in and view or listen when convenient to them. 
Physical events linked to the project will include facilities for people with disabilities as provided by venues. Care will be taken by SEA to look for and book only venues that provide a breadth of these facilities to enable easy and appropriate access for all people with disabilities.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice

These will options will be promoted in each of SEA's communications related to the physical events and online activities (webinars and workshops). 
They will be communicated early on through all collateral, including SEA's website.
This will also be communicated during the actual physical event and/or online sessions (webinars and workshops) by way of introducing the session and also encouraging communities to practice the principles of a healthy environment. 
In other words, it will become part of the DNA of the project and its promotions from day one.

Amount requested:

Requesting grant for:

Elements of project delivery including, 
- Purchase of the webinar platform for online events and related video editing
- Venue, food and facilitator cost for the physical events
- Related event logistics and security
- Part of the contractor costs involved in delivering the project
- Project management

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

Depending on the funding amount provided, the project plan will be amended to reduce the total number of physical events and online sessions. This is not ideal though, since our goal is to reach as many people as possible to empower them.
The goal of the project is to increase education and sector growth for social enterprises and small businesses, and to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship. Thus, all attempts will be made not to increase the ticket costs, or even have a ticket cost.

Cost of participation:

We are looking at offering subsidised tickets at just $10 in some areas like Waitemata and Albert-Eden. For most other regions of Auckland, the intention is to allow people to join events without any fee. We want these events to be inclusive and as broad reaching as possible. Keeping them fee-free will enable more in the community to participate and learn.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

We started our Deaf Wellbeing Drop In Community Centre in October 2017. We run fortnightly days. Since that time we have had approx 2000 people attend. On average we have 70 people attend each month.
By providing a Deaf friendly drop in centre with "recycle, reuse, recover, reduce and zero waste" as our theme we will be able to allow the Auckland Deaf community to experience and learn new exciting projects. Give them the opportunity to try something new that language barriers may have prevented them from trying. Our Deaf people will feel safe being in a Deaf environment and will be able to participate in their community group fully. Young Deaf people will have the opportunity to be teachers of certain recycle class themes and to see Deaf role models in action.
Deaf people participating fully in a Deaf friendly environment is a positive situation. It removes the frustration of communication that is sadly common for Deaf people.

 

 

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Waitematā

·      Empower our communities by supporting community-led initiatives

Our Auckland Deaf Community Wellbeing striving for Zero Waste in NZSL uses volunteer teachers and tutors and uses volunteer New Zealand Sign Language interpreters. Giving the Deaf community the access to information  that they may not have had the opportunity to experience due to language barriers and teaching them in a Deaf friendly environment.We believe that there is no greater situation  than Disabled members of the community helping other Disabled members. We have a group of 4 Deaf Aucklanders who are passionate about Zero waste and recycling. By using their knowledge and giving them the opportunity to teach and mentor other Deaf Aucklanders we will provide valuable role models for our Auckland Deaf youth and this will allow the Deaf to feel 100% comfortable in their own NZSL environment.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori involvement in the design/concept

Some of our volunteer teachers are Maori. This is important as it provides a role model for
Deaf Maori youth. Some of the craft classes we have had have a Maori theme. Eg,Harakeke weaving
and Toi whakairo with soap.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our project is for Deaf people. Operated by Deaf for the Deaf in NZSL. We also have Deaf attendees that have suffered strokes or have CP. We use Melville Cricket Pavilion (council venue) as there are disabled toilets and disabled access. It is a central location in Auckland that has good transport links. The building has 3 floor to ceiling glass walls, this is ideal for Deaf as there is a wonderful sense of openess and the Deaf dont feel closed in.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice

All our flyers and advertising material contains the smoke free logo.
All our projects and themes are based on recycling and zero waste. For example setting up individual composters, creating a vegetable garden from cuttings and seedlings,recycling unwanted clothes and making new items from them, teaching through games about recycling symbols and packaging, cooking with left overs and food safety to name a few.

Additional information to support the application:

In the last year we have been approached by Deaf community groups in Wellington and Hamilton asking for our advise to help them set up the same community group in their cities. As all our activity days are promoted on social media it is easy to see the wonderful comments that our Auckland community group receives, not just from all over NZ but the world too.As our numbers continue to grow, this enforces to us the need for our community group.

Project: Body Positive Men's Wellness Retreat

Location:

Vaughan Park Anglican Retreat Centre

Summary:

The Body Positive Men's Wellness Retreat is an annual pillar of our peer support programme. Up to 50 men living with HIV take a weekend to build community, socialise, participate in wellness activities and get active. As our members are overwhelmingly on benefits and unable to work due to their status, the Retreat is for many the only chance they will get in the year to take part in community activities, get outdoors and even just to relax. The Retreat is a targeted event: 87% of Body Positive members are gay men and are marginalised due to their sexuality as well as their HIV status.

Expertise:

Body Positive has been running the Men's Retreat successfully for over 10 years. Although we have begun to charge a registration fee, it does not come near to covering costs and thus we have to cap the numbers of participants at 50. These spots fill up every year. Sustainable funding would allow more people who wish to attend to go, and potentially reduce the financial burden on our members.

Promotion:

We promote the Retreat through posters in our Central Auckland drop-in centre, and through our website and social media. If we receive funding for the event, we will acknowledge the contribution of each local board through these avenues, and at the event itself.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The stigma associated with HIV and gay men in particular produces numerous barriers. By engaging with people directly we are able to remove these barriers. This is ongoing urgent support provided to our most vulnerable members that are dealing with homelessness, addiction, abuse, stigma, and mental health. By engaging in these social supports we are then able to engage them in medical care ensuring that they lead healthy and productive lives. Our Auckland peer support programme encompasses regular support groups but is also book-ended by the Men's Wellness Retreat, which is a life-affirming and invaluable chance to come together as a community, to holistically seek health through empowering outdoor activity, and relaxing wellness treatments such as massage and podiatry. For many participants the Retreat is the only chance they will get to come together as a community throughout the year, as people living with HIV are still heavily stigmatised, even within the LGBTQIA+ community itself. Feedback from participants is overwhelmingly positive, and participants say that their feelings of isolation are reduced and they are left feeling like a valued part of a community.

 

 

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Waitematā

·      Provide spaces and places that enable our diverse communities to connect, and feel welcome

The Body Positive Men's Wellness Retreat is a pillar of our peer support services. 87% of Body Positive members are gay men, and experience the double stigma of living with HIV and being homosexual. The vast majority of our members are on benefits and unable to work, and experience mental health issues brought on by isolation often even within the gay community itself. The Retreat is an opportunity to build community within this marginalised group, through a weekend of wellness activities such as massage and podiatry, and physical activity. Attendees report that the experience decreases isolation and improves mental health. 18 participants were from this local board in 2020.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

The constitution contains directives to co-opt additional members on the basis of Māori representation, to ensure that the voices which are heard are as diverse as possible. We provide direct support to our Māori and Pacific Island members through our representative group Tinana Ora. 11.36% of our membership self-identifies as Māori. 12 of the 50 participants at the 2020 Men's Wellness Retreat were Māori.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - We provide support services for people living with HIV which is classed as a disability under the Human Rights Act. We provide support for people to access services and support without stigma or judgement or discrimination due to their condition. We also have clients that attend with other conditions in addition to their HIV diagnoses including other disabilities. The venue is accessible for people with mobility issues and transport to and from the venue is provided.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

Body Positive as an organisation is smoke, drug and alcohol free. As a health organization we are actively promoting healthy lifestyle choices through our holistic approach to HIV support which includes wellness activities and advice. The Wellness Retreat provides healthy food options for participants, and includes outdoor physical activity as a key part of the curriculum, which was provided in 2020 by Sir Peter Blake Marine Education and Recreation Centre.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$15000.00

Requesting grant for:

We are requesting funding support toward:
- Venue hire (inclusive of catering and accommodation)
- A suitable outdoor activity provider
- Wellness activities (podiatry and massage)

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We have previously funded the project through Body Positive reserves. The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, and the loss of our contract with MAC AIDS has meant that our operational funding has taken a serious hit. Although we are confident that the 2021 event can go ahead still, it is necessary to seek out more sustainable funding avenues to ensure that valuable events and activities like this can continue to be run going forward. We also hope that we will not have to burden our community by raising registration prices further, or restricting participant numbers.

Cost of participation:

We charge a registration fee which is then means-adjusted (for instance if the member is currently on a benefit.) This is capped at $100.00 currently.

Project: Online & practical upcycling workshops enabling communities to creativily reuse.

Location:

Auckland Council Community Centres

Summary:

The Re-Creators community online and in-person upcycling workshops provide adults and children with the skills, creativity and positivity around developing useful items from "waste".   Our workshops empower and unite the community while providing positive messaging around the issues of waste and climate action.  In addition, they are mindful in nature supporting positive mental well-being. In these difficult times, we can still connect with our audience via video calls and webinars.  During recover from Covid 19, we can eventually return to practical in-person workshops but until then we can discuss and demonstrate skills via video.

Expertise:

The ReCreators have been delivering our workshops for over a year now as well as developing video content.  We will be ramping up our free video content during COVID 19 and posting to community pages.  Our collective skills vary from general networking, project management, staff management, marketing & design, woodwork, product design, furniture restoration, artistic painting, fashion design, sewing teaching, mosaicing plus many more skills. The purpose of the Collective is for the local community to easily access our upcycling brand and for our collective to join forces to become a better messaging force.

Promotion:

In the past we have used social media, links to community pages to advertise our courses. For our Xmas Upcycled Gift Making courses we sought a PR press release from Stuff,   We use logos and thank the LB in our reporting social media posts.  Our free courses are always full and have been popular to date when well advertised.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The community gain practical, resilient skills such as sewing, woodwork, power tools, crocheting, furniture refurbishment and general upcycled art design.  They provide a positive example of climate action and instil positive well-being through mindful making.   In addition, there are income opportunities for artists in the community who struggle to find meaningful work. 
 
The ReCreators engage locals from the community to link to their neighbourhoods reinforcing the messaging. We provide practical DIY videos for free but want to extend this further by offering personal online courses taking direct questions from our audience.  our social media provides positive and creative messaging about ideas to combat climate change through sustainable crafting & DIY.

 

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Waitematā

·      Support Waitematā being a low carbon community

 

The practice of upcycling provides communities with the creative skills (woodwork, sewing, design)  to adopt a low carbon lifestyle where they first think to repair or reuse materials rather than buying new and/or throwing away.   Having communities adopt upcycling into their lifestyle will change their behaviour towards consumption and managing their waste, which will help them achieve living a more sustainable life.  
 
The ReCreators provide local employment and skills development for facilitators and our classes create positivity through collective creativity and is a positive example of climate action.

NATIONAL YOUNG LEADERS DAY
The objectives of NYLD are
Inspiration
Connection
Student empowerment
Promoting positivity
Motivation
Education
Leaders are often made, not simply born. We are dedicated to sparking the leadership potential that’s inside every young person through practical, inspirational events and leadership resources.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Waitematā

·      Encourage access to and participation in local events and arts activities

Kids for Kids is 100% Kiwi As, with every song performed written and recorded by NZ Artists. With a term of music work provided by Kids for Kids to each registered school, all students involved spend weeks learning about NZ Music and the Composers, Song Writers and Artists who create the songs we sing together on stage. Balancing between the classics and the latest hits, Kids for Kids introduces and exposes our kids to some of the greatest kiwiana songs we have. This years show 'Big Aroha' also host a selection of Te Reo songs, embracing Maori culture from start to finish of the show.
 
National Young Leaders Day - Every year, thousands of the country’s brightest students and their teachers attend a National Young Leaders Day. Schools select students who demonstrate leadership potential and qualities to attend NYLD. NYLD events include motivational talks from great New Zealand leaders, question times, videos, music and interactive activities. The speaking team consists of leaders in business, sport, politics, community service, science and the arts. There is a strong sense on the day that the baton is being passed, as an older generation of leaders imparts their wisdom into the emerging generation of young leaders. The message of the day develops, as students are challenged not only to reach their own personal goals but the goals of those they are leading.

 

Collaborating organisation/individual

Role

Our Artists (Jackie Clarke and Nathan King) a nd Music Directors (Brooke Baker and Chris Lam Sam)

Our artirsts and our MD's help create the sho w, carefully selecting songs, re-writing music , putting together resource to be sent to sch ools to dive into each song as they learn ahe ad of the show.

Salvation Army

At each Kids for Kids show we encourage our choir members to be global citizens and bring a canned food item for kids in need. These are collected and distributed by the Salvation Army.

 

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori focus - tikanga (practises), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

This year’s Kids for Kids is all about celebrating Aotearoa’s ‘Big Aroha’. We  aspire to integrate Te Reo language across the performance, with some song lyrics that are 100% in Te Reo like Tarakihi , and other songs that have a kiwi / te reo balance like Big Aroha by The Slacks and Whaling / We Know The Way Dave Dobbyn / Lin-Manuel Miranda & Opetaia Foa'i.
National Young Leaders Day will be employing a Te Reo specialist to assist us with translating our workbook given to all students to include English and Maori text. Te Reo Maori will also be used on the projectors to enhance the bilingual language use.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our venues are all accessible and at Kids for Kids the stage is accessible and frequently includes young people with disabilities participating alongside their mates from school. Where needed, carers are also invited on stage to assist, ensuring the young person has a great experience. National Young Leaders Day is an inclusive event for all accessibility students.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·      Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages

As our event champions young people, with rehearsals during school time - the venue is treated like schools grounds with all personnel involved with the event / teachers / schools smoke-free.
All schools are asked to take any rubbish created from school lunches back with them.

Additional information to support the application:

“My first experience as a Kids for Kids Choir teacher was in 1996, and I've lost count of the shows I've done since. It is an absolute joy to be able to pass the kids over - in complete trust of their care - to the Kids for Kids stars and staff at the rehearsal and then on the night.
It is the best feeling to communicate to parents that their kids will probably have the best experience of the year!"

Project: NZ Eid Day 2020 - Eid-ul-Adha (Event 2)

Location:

Eden Park

Summary:

Eid al adha celebrates the pilgimage of Muslims to Hajj, and upon their completion of 10 days of rituals, all around the world, their achievement is celebrated. 
As Adha provides a 10 day window, the event can be further promoted to the non-Muslim community to join the NZ Muslim community together in a day of fun, diversity, and unity under the celebration.
The event showcases the many cultures within the Muslim community in NZ, and is a platform for the celebration of the expression of all these cultures on Eid. 
It is a platform for the wider community to come and showcase the NZ Muslim community to New Zealanders.

Expertise:

We have delivered this project bi-annually since 2012, with approx 20 people  in the delivery team and an additional 50 volunteers on the day

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Of the many benefits of such an event are the creation and the promotion of a shared identity among NZ Muslims, for the current and future generations; which then establishes a positive interaction within the greater NZ community for the benefit of of all.
Having held two events each year since 2012, with the event growing from 3,000 attendees in year one to 12,000 in 2019, shows the support and requirement for such an event in NZ. With the current international climate, Eid day celebrations and such events allow for a positive interaction and communities to come together

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Waitematā

·      Provide spaces and places that enable our diverse communities to connect, and feel welcome

With approx 25% of our attendees within the Waitemata local region, the Eid celebration of the Pilgrimage of Muslims to Makkah for their Hajj obligation, allows for the culmination of the different cultures in the region and earmarks an important occasion for them.
It is particularly important for the large number of Muslim university students who reside in the Waitemata area and are looking for an opportunity to meet and interact with other members of the community on a reminder of their home cultures and traditions. 
It allows for the the expression of the different cultural identities and brings together many elements of traditional practices.
It allows for the attendees from the Waitemata region to feel valued and recognised as Kiwi-Muslims, and allows for an important interaction within the wider non-Muslim community, with the sharing of food, language and cultural practices

Context

6.       The local board allocates grants to groups and organisations delivering projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders and contribute to the vision of being a world class city.

7.       The Auckland Council Community Grants Policy supports each local board to adopt a grants programme.

8.       The local board grants programme sets out:

·    local board priorities

·    lower priorities for funding

·    exclusions

·    grant types, the number of grant rounds and when these will open and close

·    any additional accountability requirements.

9.       The Waitematā Local Board adopted their grants programme for 2019/2020 on 16 April 2019 and will operate one accommodation grant round for this financial year. 

10.     The community grant programmes have been extensively advertised through the council grants webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters, Facebook pages, council publications, radio, and community networks.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

11.     The aim of the local board grant programme is to deliver projects and activities which align with the outcomes identified in the local board plan. All applications have been assessed utilising the Community Grants Policy and the local board grant programme criteria. The eligibility of each application is identified in the report recommendations.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

12.     The Local Board Grants Programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to address climate change by providing grants to individuals and groups for projects that support and enable community climate action. Community climate action involves reducing or responding to climate change by local residents in a locally relevant way. Local board grants can contribute to expanding climate action by supporting projects that reduce carbon emissions and increase community resilience to climate impacts.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

13.     Based on the main focus of an application, a subject matter expert from the relevant department, will provide input and advice. The main focus of an application is identified as arts, community, events, sport and recreation, environment or heritage.

14.     The grants programme has no identified impacts on council-controlled organisations and therefore their views are not required.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

15.     Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community grants.  The Waitematā Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or deadline these grant applications against the local board priorities identified in the local board grant programme.

16.     The local board is requested to note that section 50 of the Community Grants Policy states “We will also provide feedback to unsuccessful grant applicants about why they have been declined, so they will know what they can do to increase their chances of success next time.”

17.     A summary of each application received through the Waitematā Accommodation Support Fund (see Attachment B) are provided.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

18.     The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to improving Maori wellbeing by providing grants to individuals and groups who deliver positive outcomes for Maori. Auckland Council’s Maori Responsiveness Unit has provided input and support towards the development of the community grant processes. Four organisations applying in this round have indicated their project targets Maori or Maori outcomes.

19.     Nineteen applicants from the Waitematā Accommodation Support Fund indicated that their project targets Māori or Māori outcomes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

23.     The allocation of grants occurs within the guidelines and criteria of the Community Grants Policy and the local board grants programme. The assessment process has identified a low risk associated with funding the applications in this round.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

Auckland Transport May 2020 Update

File No.: CP2020/05812

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide an update on Auckland Transport activities in the Waitematā Local Board area and a summary of the local board transport capital fund and community safety fund.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       This report covers:

·    a summary of Auckland Transport projects and operations in the local board area.

·    a summary of the local board’s Transport Capital Fund and Community Safety Fund.

·    a summary of general information items sent to the local board.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Waitematā Local Board:

a)      receive the Auckland Transport May 2020 report.

 

 

Horopaki

Context

3.       AT is responsible for all of Auckland’s transport services, excluding state highways. As set out in our Local Board Engagement Plan, we report on a monthly basis to local boards. This monthly reporting commitment acknowledges the important role local boards play within the governance of Auckland Council on behalf of their local communities. 

4.       This report updates the Waitematā Local Board on Auckland Transport (AT) projects and operations in the local board area, it updates the local board on their advocacy and consultations and includes information on the status of the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) and Community Safety Fund (CSF).

5.       The LBTCF is a capital budget provided to all local boards by Auckland Council and delivered by Auckland Transport. Local boards can use this fund to deliver transport infrastructure projects that they believe are important but are not part of Auckland Transport’s work programme.

6.       The CSF is a capital budget established by Auckland Transport for use by local boards to fund local road safety initiatives. The purpose of this fund is to allow elected members to address long-standing local road safety issues that are not regional priorities and are therefore not being addressed by the Auckland Transport programme.

Analysis and advice

Response to resolutions

7.       In response to resolution number WTM/2020/56 that the Waitematā Local Board “request a report on the component of the Downtown Infrastructure Programme not included in this report, namely the Mooring Dolphins”.

8.       Please see an update on the Mooring Dolphins included in this report, this states that this element of the Downtown Infrastructure Programme is awaiting an environment court appeal hearing with the parties currently in mediation with no hearing date reset.

9.       In response to resolution number WTM/2020/57 that the Waitematā Local Board “request Auckland Transport investigate creating emergency cycleways through tactical urbanism in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

10.     Auckland Transport is delivering a rolling set of initiatives on roads and popular walkways across Auckland to assist with safe physical distancing in Alert Level 3.

11.     Locations in Waitematā Local Board area that AT is installing these measures on include:

·    Tamaki Drive

·    Queen Street

·    Quay Street

·    Customs Street/Queen Street intersection

·    Ponsonby Road

12.     These temporary measures are being trialed to adapt available space on the road to reflect their use by Aucklanders during the different alert levels.

13.     This is a response to public health directives on physical distancing in busy areas for people walking and cycling.

14.     Other initiatives to support the increased number of people walking and cycling across the city are also being rolled out. Signage and markings reminding those out and about to maintain physical distancing have been installed and most pedestrian crossings have switched to automated, reducing the need for people to touch the request button.

15.     Existing worksites are also being adapted to facilitate physical distancing.

16.     AT will continue to roll out these temporary measures on a responsive risk-based approach and is responding to local boards’ requests for safety-based interventions.

The Karangahape Road Development Response team, developed and delivered pick up areas along Karangahape Road in response to COVID 19 level 3 restrictions. We have since had uptake from Panuku referred to us via our Parking Design team. 

 

KBA have also advised their appreciation.

 

Nelson Street Phase 3 - a cycling facility linking Nelson Street via Market Place into the Viaduct.

The project design is still progressing during COVID-19. Most design activities are continuing with minimal impact.

Draft public consultation report is completed. AT to provide responses to all feedback received.

Detailed Design is planned to complete in June and physical works tender to be rolled out in late May/early June. Construction to complete by December 2020.

Newmarket and Remuera Residential Parking Zone (RPZ)- proposed permit scheme for residents and businesses

Timeline is being revised.

 

Parnell East Residential Parking Zone (RPZ) – project to install a residential parking zone and safety improvements on St Stephens Avenue, Lichfield Road and Crescent Road.

The signage installation was delayed by Level 4.

The signs will be manufactured while in Alert Level 3 and installation will begin after a site visit which can only happen in Alert Level 2. The permit application has remained open during this period and we have communicated the delay to customers who have already applied and there is an auto reply for those just applying.

Princes Street and Eden Crescent intersection - upgrade including raised zebra crossings.

Complete however minor defects are pending. Snags will be fully complete in the next 6-8 weeks.

 

Pt Chevalier to Westmere cycleway - A dedicated cycle route along Pt Chevalier Road and Meola Road ending near the Westmere Shops. 

Detailed design still processing.

Tamaki Drive cycle route (Quay Street to Ngapipi Bridge)

Works have started again onsite with social distancing measures in place. The project team are still working towards completing before America’s Cup races begin in December 2020.

The Strand intersection – road safety improvements to the intersections at Tamaki Drive and Gladstone Road

No change, Discussions are still progressing.

Victoria Street East-West cycleway - dedicated cycle route along Victoria Street West, from the Beaumont Street intersection to the Hobson Street intersection.

Victoria Street cycleway project has been safely closed for the duration of the Level 4 alert period and now the construction has re-started on 28 April 2020 under Alert Level 3. Our project site has developed a Health and Safety Plan based on Ministry of Health Guidance and industry best practice.

 

Under Alert Level 3, works will be carried out by sections during the day and traffic along Victoria Street will be reduced to one lane each way to provide wider footpath and the project work zone. This is to ensure the social distancing is achievable for pedestrians and workers onsite.

When the Alert level is lifted to Level 2, the Temporary Traffic Management will be reviewed again based on the Ministry of Health Guidance and the traffic situation.

There is delay on the project construction due to the site shut down during Alert Level 4 and the slower pace of work under Alert Level 3 than under normal circumstances. It is anticipated to complete construction in quarter 3 2020.

Waitematā Safe Routes project, the two routes open for feedback are Route 1: Surrey Crescent to Garnet Road and Route 2: Richmond Road.

Work on the detailed design for the West Lynn village remedial works is ongoing. Final detailed design completion date has been pushed back to beginning of July.

 

AT is going to do a direct appointment tender for the remedial works. Required tender documents have been completed and are to be circulated for signature.   However, construction cannot start until further notice because of the COVID-19 situation.

 

Work on detailed designs for both Routes 1 & 2 is ongoing.

Wellesley Street and Sale Street – new intersection signals.

In discussions with Healthy Waters about whether their component of the work will still be included with AT’s project. It is intended to start construction in July/August 2020.

Wellesley Street Bus Improvement Project (formerly Midtown bus route) – Improving how city centre buses operate.

The project team has refined options for a staged delivery of the Wellesley Street bus improvements project. An update will be brought to the Waitematā Local Board later in the year. A related project is also starting up looking into Grafton Gully bus station.

Wynyard Quarter street and park upgrades – central construction package.

Works have commenced again with COVID-19 social distancing measures in place. An updated programme has been submitted indicating Gaunt Street and the Wynyard Commons are due to be completed June 2020. Some of the Daldy Street linear park works have been deferred due to a delay in land transfer. These works will be completed by 30 September 2020.

 

18.     The table below has an update on the Downtown Infrastructure programme.

Item

Update

Downtown Infrastructure Improvement Programme

This includes:

·    Quay Street Strengthening 

·    Quay Street Enhancement

·    Britomart East

·    Lower Albert

·    Downtown Ferry

·    Waterfront Park

·    Mooring dolphin

·    Galway Street Enhancement

 

On Tuesday 28 April, the Downtown Programme moved into Alert Level 3, restarting works across six of the seven DIDP projects. Around 190 staff have been divided into 28 “bubbles” where crews will remain to help reduce the likelihood of any exposure to the virus.

 

The initial focus was on educating teams on COVID -19 safety protocols and establishing new work routines in each bubble.

 

The team is also evaluating opportunities to work more effectively while traffic volumes are lower than normal.  This includes plans to provide more construction and pedestrian space where possible to enable safe physical distancing.

 

Project timelines are currently under review pending an assessment of the impact of COVID-19. During Level 3 restrictions we expect reduced construction productivity but will continue to review impacts and opportunities as restrictions are relaxed.

DIDP’s resource consents already allow work for extended hours and the team will be looking for opportunities to take advantage of this, as appropriate, to minimise delays caused by COVID 19 restrictions.

Significant new works / site changes: Quay Street Eastbound Lane Closure.

From Sunday 3 May 2020, Quay Street's eastbound lane (between Princes Wharf and Queens Wharf) closed to traffic and become a temporary 6-metre wide shared pedestrian and cycle lane running along the northern side of Quay Street.  

This is part of Auckland Council and Auckland Transport's new initiatives to assist with safe physical distancing during Alert Level 3.

Safety is our priority during this pandemic and this new space gives Aucklanders the ability to keep 2 metres apart from each other’s ‘bubbles’ while staying active.
There will be regular monitoring of traffic levels throughout this eastbound lane closure, and the implementation of contingency measures as and when required to ensure the effects to commuters are minimised as best possible. 

We advise commuters wishing to travel east to use Customs Street as an alternative route

Downtown Public Space (Te Wananga)

Feedback on the Tamaki Drive and Solent Street Intersection Proposal

33.     Auckland Transport thanks the Local Board for their feedback. This feedback along with the project team’s response is recorded below:

Local Board Feedback

Auckland Transport Response

The Board supports the provision for high-quality continuous segregated cycle lanes.

Noted, thank you for the support.

 

The Board thanks the project team for removing the multi-leg crossing of Solent Street. This is vital considering the high numbers of cyclists and pedestrians.

 

Noted, thank you for the support.

 

The intersection with The Strand has one missing pedestrian link. Given heavy traffic flow and desire lines, this is understandable but not preferable.

 

Noted.

 

The intersection with Solent Street has two missing pedestrian links. This is unacceptable, especially given point 2 above, and the bus stops 50m to the east.

An eastern pedestrian crossing is absolutely mandatory, and we will not endorse this design without it.

Note that a pedestrian crossing currently exists in this location.

 

The scheme drawing is a mistake, AT will retain the current crossing across Tamaki Drive on the final design.

 

Only 3 trees are proposed to be removed in this project – please confirm.

These 3 are at the western end of the project area (image below). Please confirm that these will be relocated, and where to. If they will not be relocated, please advise why, and provide arborist advice.        

Please see attached presentation on tree relocation and the arborists report.

Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency Innovating Streets for People pilot fund

File No.: CP2020/05830

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide local boards with an overview of the Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency (Waka Kotahi) Innovating Streets for People pilot fund (ISPF).

2.       To request feedback on projects within your local board area that have been proposed by staff across Auckland Transport (AT), Auckland Council, and Panuku for inclusion in Auckland Council’s application to the ISPF.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3.       Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency (Waka Kotahi) announced a pilot fund in April 2020 that supports pilot projects and interim improvements for safe active transport. The Innovating Streets Pilot Fund (ISPF) is intended to help councils create more people-friendly spaces through the application of tactical urbanism techniques such as pilots, pop ups and interim projects. While the fund is intended to support pilots that can be rolled out rapidly and at relatively low cost, projects should also be able to demonstrate a pathway to more permanent status, should they prove successful.

4.       Local boards have previously been invited to contribute localised strategic direction and guidance regarding projects that may be suitable to submit for funding. This guidance has been incorporated into the development of a list of potential projects that will be circulated to local boards by 25 May 2020.

5.       Local boards are now invited to provide formal feedback on the list of potential projects within their local area, including their view of which projects are the highest priority.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Waitematā Local Board:

a)      provide feedback on the list of local projects proposed as suitable for inclusion in Auckland Council’s application to the Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency (Waka Kotahi) Innovating Streets Pilot Fund (ISPF) by 12pm on 29 May 2020.

 

 

Horopaki

Context

6.       On 3 April 2020, Waka Kotahi announced the ISPF, which supports council projects that aim to transition streets to be safer and more liveable spaces. The fund encourages the use of ‘tactical urbanism’ techniques, such as pilots and pop ups - interim treatments that can be delivered within a short timeframe to test and help demonstrate the value of future permanent street changes that make walking and cycling easier. Projects that Waka Kotahi aims to support include:

·    temporary, or semi-permanent, physical changes to streets

·    improvements that test a permanent fix and prototype a street design

·    activations that help communities re-imagine their streets.

7.       There are two application rounds for the ISPF:

·    The first round opened on 3 April and closed on 8 May 2020. Successful applicants are expected to be announced in June 2020.

·    The second round opens on 8 June and closes on 3 July 2020 with successful applicants to be announced by the end of July 2020.

8.       Qualifying projects are expected to be delivered by June 2021.

9.       In addition to the two funding rounds, Waka Kotahi is offering support for interventions that specifically relate to Covid-19. Auckland Transport (AT) is leading an emergency response programme in conjunction with Auckland Council and are applying for a funding subsidy for the costs associated with Covid-19 measures which are already being implemented across Auckland.

10.     The selection process for round one was led by AT. Due to tight timeframes for submission, consultation was not possible. Twelve projects were submitted to Waka Kotahi for consideration. All these projects come from existing programmes previously approved by Auckland Council and align well with Governing Body and local board strategic transport priorities.

11.     If these projects are awarded funding from Waka Kotahi, comprehensive stakeholder engagement will occur throughout the planning and delivery of each project, as per Waka Kotahi’s selection criteria.

12.     For round two ISPF funding, a project team has been established across Auckland Council, AT and Panuku and a process developed to identify potential projects and take them through to a finished application.

13.     On 8 May 2020, local boards were invited to contribute localised strategic direction and guidance regarding projects that may be suitable to submit for funding. This guidance has been incorporated into the development of a list of potential projects circulated to local boards on or before 25 May 2020.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

14.     The ISPF provides an opportunity for Auckland Council and AT to catalyse positive change across Auckland in line with Auckland Council’s strategic goals of improving walking and cycling options and creating more people-friendly spaces.

15.     The techniques of tactical urbanism supported by the pilot fund represent an innovative change to the typical way in which projects are engaged upon, designed and delivered. Tactical urbanism entails piloting and testing key project elements on a temporary basis, that can generally be rolled out rapidly and at low cost. This constitutes a form of ‘engagement by doing’ and enables the relative success of ideas to be assessed before they are committed to more permanently.

Criteria for the assessment and prioritisation of projects

16.     When providing feedback on the list of potential projects, local boards should keep the following criteria in mind, which will be used by the project team to finalise the list of projects to recommend to the Emergency Committee.

17.     Prioritised projects will:

·    improve transport choices and liveability of a place

·    help mitigate a clear safety issue (related to Deaths and Serious Injuries at a specific location)

·    be effective at:

reducing vehicle speed (to 30km/hr or less), and/or

creating more space for people on our streets, and/or

making walking and cycling more attractive

·    use temporary pilots, pop ups or treatments as a pathway to permanent change in the future

·    contribute to more equitable access to opportunities and essential services, particularly in areas with low levels of travel choice

·    support mode shift to low-carbon modes

·    support Māori outcomes, i.e.:

adopt a design or project approach founded on Māori principles

help advance Māori wellbeing, e.g. active Māori participation, improved access to marae, kura, kohanga, papakāinga, employment

·    test key elements or is designed to generate community support for the ‘parent’ project

·    be part of an existing planned and budgeted project (AC projects only)

·    demonstrate the importance of the project within the current AT work programme (AT projects only)

·    demonstrate ability to deliver

·    demonstrate strong likelihood of project delivery by June 2021

·    demonstrate co-design approach involving key stakeholders and community, including:

support from the relevant local board(s) and stakeholders

support from local community/stakeholders (e.g. business association)

·    display clear process, including milestones, cost, monitoring and evaluation, and identification of risks and mitigation

·    demonstrate value for money

·    demonstrate opportunity to improve efficiency, or reduce risks associated with future permanent upgrades.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

18.     The transport sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the Auckland region with around 40 per cent of Auckland’s total emissions. Increased support and prioritisation of ‘no and low’ emissions modes of transport such as active transport, micro-mobility modes and public transport, will help reduce these emissions.

19.     The interventions supported by the Innovating Streets for People pilot fund enable a reduction of transport emissions, which would support Auckland Council’s ability to achieve its climate goals and is well aligned with the draft Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Action Framework, and with the in-principle changes to this framework endorsed by the Environment and Climate Change Committee (resolution number ECC/2020/12).

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

20.     Auckland Council and AT are following an aligned approach for the ISPF submission and are working together to develop joint application packages.

21.     Relevant parts of the council, including Ngā Mātārae; the Auckland Design Office; the Development Programme Office; Libraries; the Southern Initiative; Arts, Community and Events; Parks, Sports and Recreation; Plans and Places, and Panuku, have been engaged to prepare and collate funding proposals for the second round.

22.     If a project application is successful, there will be a need to implement, coordinate and monitor the outcomes of projects that are funded by the ISPF. This would be jointly coordinated by AT and staff from across the Auckland Council family.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

23.     Staff captured informal local board views earlier this month by inviting local boards to contribute localised strategic direction and guidance regarding projects that may be suitable to submit for funding. This guidance has been incorporated into the development of the list of potential projects.

24.     The types of projects that Waka Kotahi seek to promote through this fund will have positive impacts on local communities in terms of the outcomes that are reflected in the assessment criteria.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

25.     Māori are likely to benefit from interventions that support safer and more accessible active transport in Auckland. This is because Māori are over-represented in pedestrian-related crashes and tend to live in parts of Auckland where travel choice is poorest. To ensure these interventions benefit Māori equitably, they need to be complemented by meaningful access to active modes such as bicycles and micro-mobility devices, as well as supporting infrastructure such as secure bicycle parking outside main destinations.

26.     The Innovating Streets fund encourages community-led interventions to transform urban spaces into safe and liveable spaces for people. There are opportunities to tap into the creativity and local knowledge of Māori communities in Tāmaki Makaurau to create urban interventions that address community needs and provide a strong sense of place.

27.     Ngā Mātārae, the Southern Initiative and the Independent Māori Statutory Board have been approached for their input into the proposed project list

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

28.     The proposed high levels of funding assistance from Waka Kotahi (up to 90 per cent of a project’s value) will potentially result in savings for both Auckland Council and AT on any projects that may already have been planned and funded prior to the pilot fund application.

29.     The funding provided by Waka Kotahi for piloting or testing of temporary interventions is likely to reduce design time and increase financial security for permanent improvements in the future. Trialling of real-life options for more permanent activities can also reduce or avoid potential costs associated with the redesign of interventions in case desired outcomes could not be achieved.

30.     There are no financial implications for local boards arising from providing feedback on the list of potential projects, except for those projects proposed by local boards, and which they have proposed to fund themselves.

31.     Local boards that submit an expression of interest for a project need to demonstrate both the ability to fund the temporary project and, if the project does not link to an existing AT, Auckland Council or Panuku funded permanent project, that the local board is able to completely fund the permanent project as well.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

32.     There is a risk that Auckland Council may not be able to afford the local share of 10 per cent of the project cost needed to implement interventions under the ISPF, particularly given the present circumstances and the need to significantly amend the draft Annual Plan 2020/2021. Note that while successful projects will require 10 per cent funding from council, they will bring the benefit of additional funding into Auckland. Similar financial constraints may also apply to AT and Panuku who are also potentially funding projects.

33.     Another risk is the possibility that the implementation of successful Auckland Council projects under the pilot fund will not lead to the desired outcomes for Auckland. To mitigate this risk, staff have developed a set of assessment criteria for projects (see paragraph 17) to ensure strategic alignment with Auckland Council objectives before projects are submitted to Waka Kotahi.

34.     Waka Kotahi’s Criteria 2: Ability to Deliver requires a co-design approach with community and key stakeholders in the development and delivery of projects. The possibility that unified community support for local interventions cannot be achieved through the co-design process within the required timeframe poses an additional risk.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

35.     Local boards are requested to provide feedback on the list of local projects proposed as suitable for inclusion in Auckland Council’s application to the ISPF by 12pm (midday) on 29 May 2020.

36.     Each project will then be assessed against the criteria described above, and the project team will produce quality advice for endorsement from an Auckland Council committee.

37.     AT projects will be presented to the AT Board on 3 June 2020 for endorsement.

38.     All projects will be presented to an Auckland Council committee in early June 2020 following which, all interested parties will be notified whether their proposed project has been selected to proceed to an ISPF application.

39.     Following this decision, further work will be undertaken to develop, prepare, and review each project that has been selected for submission to Waka Kotahi.

40.     Completed applications will be submitted to Waka Kotahi prior to the closing date of 3 July 2020.

Local board feedback on Plan Change 22 and Plan Modification 12 – additions of places of significance to Mana Whenua

File No.: CP2020/05826

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To request the views of the local board on:

·   Plan Change 22 (PC22) to the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part)(AUP)

·   Plan Modification 12 (PM12) to the Auckland Council District Plan – Hauraki Gulf Islands Section 2018 (Inner Islands) (HGI).

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       In 2014, in collaboration with 19 Mana Whenua entities, Auckland Council (the council) initiated the Māori Cultural Heritage Programme (MCHP) to improve the understanding and protection of Māori cultural heritage across the Auckland region.

3.       As part of the implementation of the findings of the MCHP, the council has proposed two plan changes in order to appropriately recognise and protect culturally significant sites within both the AUP and HGI. These two plan changes form tranche one of what is intended to be a series of future plan changes to progressively identify and protect culturally significant sites.

4.       Eleven Mana Whenua entities have completed assessments for sites in these plan changes. Thirty-three sites are proposed for scheduling: Thirty sites in the AUP and four in the HGI. Note that one site, Te Rangihoua (Te Putiki o Kahumatamomoe), is included in both the AUP and HGI to represent its landward and coastal extents.

5.       On 21 March 2019, PC22 and PM12 were originally notified. Following submissions and after further analysis, on 26 September 2019 a minor correction was made to PC22 to remove an incorrect reference. Due to technical and procedural issues, on 24 October 2019 a second amendment to withdraw the Te Wairoa River site was notified. On 11 February 2020, the plan changes were then re-notified to a limited number of directly affected parties.

6.       The details of the sites related to the local board are listed in Attachment A.

7.       Key themes of the submissions received are to:

·   support PC22 as notified

·   support PC22 with a minor amendments to Schedule 14.1 and a site description in Schedule 12

·   oppose PC22 due to potential effects on houseboat activities

·   support PM12 as notified

·   support PM12 and apply the same approach to other reserves on Waiheke Island

·   oppose PM12 for various other reasons.

8.       On 8 August 2019, the Regulatory Committee appointed three independent hearing commissioners to hear and make decisions on PC22 and PM12 (REG/2019/49). This included at least two independent commissioners with expertise in planning and tikanga Māori. 

9.       This report is the mechanism for the local board to provide its formal views on PC22 and PM12 prior to the public hearing. Any comments received will be included in the planner’s hearing report and considered by the independent commissioners. Any local board views provided should be that of the local board, therefore no technical recommendations are made in this report.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Waitematā Local Board:

a)      provide local board views on Plan Change 22 and Plan Modification 12.

b)      appoint a local board member to speak on behalf of the local board views at a hearing on the plan changes.

c)      delegate authority to the chair of the local board to make a replacement appointment in the event the local board member appointed in Resolution b) is unable to attend the plan change hearing.

 

Horopaki

Context

Decision-making authority

10.     Each local board is responsible for communicating the interests and preferences of people in its area regarding the content of the council’s strategies, policies, plans, and bylaws. Local boards provide their views on the content of these documents.

11.     In 2014, the council initiated a Māori Cultural Heritage Programme (MCHP) in collaboration with 19 Mana Whenua entities in the Auckland region with the purpose of improving the understanding and protection of Māori cultural heritage and to identify the best management options that recognise and protect the cultural values of these sites. To date 400 such sites of have been nominated by Mana Whenua for consideration.

12.     The AUP currently contains 75 scheduled Sites and Places of Significance to Mana Whenua. There are no Māori Heritage sites currently identified in the HGI Plan.

13.     The Auckland Council’s Planning Committee resolution (PLA/2017/39) approved engagement with Mana Whenua and landowners in order to develop draft plan changes to add qualifying sites to the AUP and the HGI plan. The criteria to identify and evaluate these sites are contained within the Auckland Regional Policy Statement section of the AUP.

14.     On 27 November 2018, the Planning Committee resolved to approve the proposed plan changes for notification (PLA/2018/128).

15.     The plan changes propose:

i.    The addition of 30 sites to the AUP’s Sites and Places of Significance to Mana Whenua Overlay, as identified in Chapter L Schedule 12. There are also consequential changes to Schedule 6 (Outstanding Natural Features) and Schedule 14.1 (Historic Heritage Overlay) to reflect the cultural significance of the identified sites; and

ii.    The addition of four sites to the HGI Plan. There are also changes to the explanatory text of the plan to clarify the criteria by which sites are identified and evaluated.

16.     If the local board chooses to provide its views, the reporting planner will include those views in the hearing report for these plan changes. Local board views will be included in the analysis of the plan changes and submissions received.

17.     If the local board chooses to provide its views, local board members will be invited to present the local board’s views at the hearing to commissioners, who make the decision on the plan changes.

18.     This report provides an overview of PC22 and PM12 and gives a summary of the key themes which have arisen through submissions. This report does not include a recommendation. The planner cannot advise the local board as to what its views should be, and then evaluate those views.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Plan change overview

19.     The AUP and the HGI plans contain objectives, policies, and rules to manage and protect both Sites and Places of Significance to Mana Whenua (AUP), and Māori Heritage sites (HGI). The proposed plan changes do not alter any of the existing objectives, policies, rules or resource consent assessment criteria set out in the two plans.

20.     PC22 proposes the following changes:

·   The addition of 30 Sites and Places of Significance to Mana Whenua (SSMW) to Schedule 12 of AUP.

·   The addition of a ‘significance of the site to Mana Whenua’ evaluation criterion (criterion k) to eight sites already listed in Schedule 6 – Outstanding Natural Features Overlay of the AUP.

·   The addition of a ‘significance of the site to Mana Whenua’ evaluation criterion (criterion k) to eight sites already listed in Schedule 6 – Outstanding Natural Features Overlay of the AUP.

·   The addition of the ‘significance of the site to Mana Whenua’ evaluation criterion (criterion c) to five sites already listed in Schedule 14.1 - Schedule of Historic Heritage Overlay of the AUP(OiP).

·   The addition of the sites to the AUP viewer (the online tool to view the AUP maps).

21.     PM12 proposes the following changes:

·   The addition of four Māori Heritage Sites (MHS) to Appendix 1f of the HGI.

·   The addition of explanatory text to Appendix 1f, Appendix 4 and Part 7.13 of the HGI – Māori heritage to include references to the criteria for the identification and evaluation of MHS.

·   The addition of the sites to the HGI planning maps.

Further discussion:

22.     There are 33 sites proposed across both PC22 and PM12. These sites cover a wide range of zones including open space, coastal marine area, and transport corridor zones.

23.     The sites are owned by or designated by Auckland Transport, Department of Conservation, Auckland Council, CRL Ltd, Ports of Auckland, The NZ Transport Agency, Watercare, LINZ, Ministry of Education, Transpower NZ Ltd and First Gas Limited.

24.     By scheduling the sites, there will be greater awareness and weight placed on existing objectives, policies and methods within the plans for protecting cultural heritage when considering applications for resource consent, private plan changes, designations and policy development in both plans.

25.     In the AUP, scheduling introduces more restrictions on activities within the sites with respect to disturbance in the coastal marine area, temporary activities, new buildings and structures, new alterations and additions to existing buildings, and subdivision.

26.     In the HGI, scheduling will remove permitted levels of ground disturbance within scheduled sites, making all ground disturbance activities require resource consent. Resource consent will also be required for establishing toilets and changing facilities within scheduled sites.

Themes from submissions received

27.     On 21 March 2019, PC22 and PM12 were originally notified. Following submissions and after further analysis, on 26 September 2019 a minor correction was made to PC22 to remove an incorrect reference. Due to technical and procedural issues, on 24 October 2019 a second amendment to withdraw the Te Wairoa River site was notified. On 11 February 2020, the plan changes were then re-notified to a limited number of directly affected parties.

28.     Following the processes outlined above, a total of seven primary submissions and two further submissions have been received for PC22. Six primary submissions and three further submissions have been received for PM12. The following key themes have been identified in the submissions received:

·   support PC22 as notified

·   support PC22 with minor amendments to Schedule 14.1 and a site description in Schedule 12

·   oppose PC22 due to potential effects on houseboat activities

·   support PM12 as notified

·   support PM12 and apply the same approach to other reserves on Waiheke Island

·   oppose PM12 for various other reasons.

29.     Minor amendments identify a technical error in the plan change where an evaluation criterion has been omitted from one of the schedules. They also propose additional wording to one of the site descriptions to include reference to bird roosting/gathering sites.

30.     Effects on existing houseboat activities in Putiki Bay (Waiheke Island) are of concern to two houseboat owners. Heritage scheduling which is outside the proposed plan change area is of concern to one submitter opposing PM12.

31.     One submitter is opposing the scheduling of Rangihoua Park / Onetangi Sports Fields on Waiheke Island as part of PM12 on the basis that they feel the scheduling would place unrealistic conditions on the continued use and development of these activities. This was supported by one further submission with 92 co-signatories.

32.     On 26 March 2020, the latest summary of the decisions requested by submitters on PC22 was notified and is available on the council’s website at the following link: https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/plans-projects-policies-reports-bylaws/our-plans-strategies/unitary-plan/auckland-unitary-plan-modifications/proposed-plan-changes/pc22summarydecisions/summary-of-decisions-requested-and-submissions.pdf

33.     On 26 March 2020, the latest summary of the decisions requested by submitters on PM12 was notified and is available on the council’s website at the following link: https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/plans-projects-policies-reports-bylaws/our-plans-strategies/unitary-plan/auckland-unitary-plan-modifications/proposed-plan-changes/docspc22/pm-12-renotification.pdf

Climate impact statement

34.     The decision whether to provide local board views:

·   will not lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions and negatively affect the approach to reduce emissions.

·   will not be impacted by a climate that changes over the lifetime of that decision.

35.     This is because the plan changes do not promote new activities within the sites and, by their nature of protecting Māori cultural heritage, are unlikely to encourage a greater intensity of development.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

36.     As mentioned previously, the 33 sites covered by these two plan changes cover a range of environments. These include roads, carparks, publicly owned parks and lakes, rivers and streams. They are also subject to a number of designations.

37.     During the development of the plan changes, relevant council departments and Council Controlled Organisations (CCO) were consulted. With respect to council internal departments, the sites have particular relevance to the council’s Customer and Community Services Department. This department includes the Community Facilities, Parks, Sports and Recreation, and Service Strategy and Integration teams.

38.     Many of the proposed sites contain leases which are managed by the above department. The strategic management of public open spaces is also managed by these teams through the use of reserve management plans as well as other open space and recreation planning tools.

39.     The Customer and Community Services Department has been actively involved in the plan changes during their development and notification. None of these teams have raised opposition to the proposed scheduling.

40.     From a CCO perspective, Auckland Transport has been involved in the development of the plan changes as they apply to public roads and parking infrastructure. Auckland Transport is not opposed to the plan changes.

41.     One of the sites, Te Puna Wai a Hape (Site 091), schedules land currently owned by Watercare Services Limited. Watercare has been involved during the development of the plan changes and is not opposed to the scheduling.    

42.     No CCO has made a submission or further submission on PC22 or PM12.

Local impacts and local board views

43.     Further detail such as a map showing the location of the sites relevant to the local board and previous involvement by the board are in Attachment A.

44.     The main impact of PC22 and PM12 is to place greater recognition on the cultural significance of identified sites. This is likely to increase the need for consultation with affected Mana Whenua when considering activities within the sites. The scheduling places greater restrictions on some land use activities and coastal activities as outlined previously.

45.     A summary here of what local board engagement was undertaken during the development of this plan change is included in Attachment A.

46.     Factors the local board may wish to consider in formulating its view are as follows: interests and preferences of people in the local board area; well-being of communities within the local board area; local board documents, such as the local board plan and local board agreement; responsibilities and operation of the local board.

47.     This report is the mechanism for obtaining formal local board views so the decision-makers on PC22 and PM12 can consider those views.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

48.     This report addresses matters that relate to two plan changes to protect and manage new nominated sites and places of cultural significance to Mana Whenua. All Mana Whenua entities have been invited to participate in this process and 11 Mana Whenua entities have actively contributed to these plan changes.

49.     Recognising and protecting Mana Whenua cultural heritage is identified as an issue of regional significance in the Auckland Unitary Plan Regional Policy Statement (RPS). Policies in the RPS specifically provide for the identification, protection and enhancement of the tangible and intangible values of identified Mana Whenua cultural heritage.

50.     In November 2018, a governance hui was conducted where staff briefed all 19 Mana Whenua entities on the feedback received from the 14 affected local boards and of the landowner engagement. The IMSB has also been kept informed of these plan changes and has participated in their approval for notification.

51.     Some iwi authorities have made submissions in support of these plan changes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

52.     The local board is not exposed to any financial risk from providing its views.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

53.     The power to provide local board views regarding the content of a plan change cannot be delegated to individual local board member(s). This report enables the whole local board to decide whether to provide its views and, if so, to determine what matters those views should include.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

54.     Any views provided by the local board will be included in the planner’s hearing report. The local board will be informed of the hearing date and invited to speak at the hearing in support of its views. The planner will advise the local board of the decision on the plan change by memorandum.
