Notice of Motion - Member A Bonham - to support biodiversity in the Hauraki Gulf

File No.: CP2020/07467

 

  

 

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

1.       Member Alexandra Bonham has given notice of a motion that she wishes to propose.

2.       Supporting information is appended as Attachment A.

 

Motion

That the Waitematā Local Board:

a)         receive the Notice of Motion

b)         note with concern the findings in the Hauraki Gulf / Tikapa Moana / Te Moananui-Toi State of the Gulf Report 2020[1]:

(i) the reduction of kelp forests, koura (crayfish), terakihi, john dory, tuangi (cockle), taiko (black petrel), fairy terns, tamure (snapper) amongst other species.[2]

(ii) kina barrens, toxic algal blooms, acidification of the oceans, marine levels of nitrogen and mercury, commercial fishing methods that cause damage to the sea floor, water pollution, habitat degradation from sediment, stormwater events, disease and marine pests.

(iii) and the limited progress in the restoration of shellfish to the Gulf with 10 recorded mass mortality events in the Marine Park in the last ten years.

c)         acknowledge the increasing concern of scientists, naturalists, and communities within and outside New Zealand around the health of oceans (or lack of) and the need for urgent action at a local, national and international level.

d)         acknowledge and appreciates the work done by the Hauraki Gulf Forum and the Hauraki Gulf Political Steering Group (previously Sea Change Political Steering Group) to create Sea Change: Hauraki Gulf Marine Spatial Plan[3] to steer progress.

e)         support the forum, mana whenua, communities, government and non-government agencies to work together collaboratively to restore the gulf; to work with the recreational fishing sector, iwi and hapū to enhance sustainability of recreational fishing activity; implement seasonal or other rāhui closures in developing mechanisms to reduce waste and enhancing stewardship of marine life in the Gulf.

f)          acknowledge and appreciates the work done by Auckland Council in its sustainable approach to procurement, for investing in the Central Interceptor, and for developing the Strategic Approach to Sediment programme and advocates continuing this holistic approach to protecting natural resources.

f)          urge the Governing Body to incorporate recommendations from the Strategic Approach to Sediment programme and the Sea Change Marine Spatial Plan into the Auckland Unitary Plan so as to reduce sediment, chemicals and pollution from urban development, industry and agriculture from flowing into the Hauraki Gulf.

g)         seek the Governing Body to use their Resource Management Act powers to increase (from the current 0.3%) to at least 30% by 2030 (with staggered targets in between) the proportion of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park reserve that is protected and to support the restoration of 1000 square metres of shellfish beds and reefs, as recommended by the Hauraki Gulf Forum Political Reference Group on 25 May 2020[4].

 

h)         recommend the Governing Body in collaboration with the Hauraki Gulf Forum to develop a business case as appropriate for a shared cultural taonga: to consider how a networked protected area is likely to restore the biodiversity of the gulf and so open up new opportunities for Māori, New Zealanders and visitors to connect with the natural environment, to enable research, set up an area of comparison against fished areas, to increase fish abundance and biodiversity, and to enable the establishment and growth of regenerative aquaculture economies and revenue streams, for example, the reestablishment of a kelp forest.

(i)         resolve to continue to support local programs to eliminate mammalian pests from Waitematā and endorses programs in other appropriate mainland areas and the Gulf Islands.

 

(j)         resolve to play its part alongside Healthy Waters, Community Facilities, Watercare and Auckland Transport (and fund local programs) as appropriate to improve the health of waterways and the harbour, through stream and beach clean ups; plantings; park management; natural and engineered systems to reduce sediment, and contaminated storm water flows into the Hauraki Gulf; and taking local action to reduce emissions and draw down carbon to keep climate heating below 1.5 degrees to prevent acidification of the ocean.

(k)        request a report from staff to consider if any areas of Waitematā would be appropriate as Ahu Moana – a mana whenua and communities partnership to restore local marine areas – as laid out in the Sea Change Plan.

l)          support the speedy removal of harmful marine debris and the development of strategies to prevent the practice of marine dumping.

m)        advocate to the Ministry of Primary Industries and law enforcement agencies to adequately resource the consistent enforcement of regulations by fishery officers[5] to discourage illegal practices, including taking fish illegally, and the use of Danish Seine sets and trawling where it is illegal in the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park to do so.

n)         advocate to the Ministry of Primary Industries that they explore setting up a registration system for recreational fishing boats or fishermen, and introduce an effective system of reporting of the recreational fishing catch so as to improve data around fish populations and enable better management of fisheries. 

(o)        request that these resolutions be forwarded to the Environment and Climate Change Committee, the Hauraki Gulf Forum, the Planning Committee, the Governing Body, Auckland Transport, Healthy Waters, Community Facilities, Watercare, local boards, the Sustainability Office, the Ministry of Conservation, the Ministry of Primary Industries and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development for their consideration.

Auckland Transport June 2020 Update

File No.: CP2020/07471

 

  

 

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.

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 June 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.

 

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Auckland Transport projects and operations in the local board area

7.       The table below has a general summary of projects and activities of interest to the local board with their current status. Please note that all timings are indicative and are subject to change:

Item

Update

City Gateway Treatments – works to signal to drivers as they enter the City that they are entering a slower speed zone.

Construction is underway. On target for signage installation by 30 June 2020.

Connected Communities, Great North Road - Project to improve travel choice by providing an enhanced street environment, dedicated bus priority measures, separated cycle lanes, and improved road and pedestrian safety.

Wider public engagement was due to start from late March/early April. Public engagement on this project is currently on-hold. Timeframes have been impacted by COVID19.  The project team will advise the Board once the current situation changes.

Grafton Road – midblock pedestrian signal outside of University of Auckland.

Works are 95% complete. Remaining work to be complete by end of June 2020.

Grey Lynn parking scheme extension - proposed extension to the existing parking scheme to Prime Road and Elgin Street.

Timeframes have been impacted by COVID19.
Delivery is currently anticipated in July – August 2020.

 

 

Herne Bay cycling and walking improvements – proposed changes to encourage slower driving speeds and improve routes for people walking and cycling.

Three out of seven sites completed.

Two intersection treatments are underway and speed humps to be completed in the next financial year.

Karangahape Road Enhancements Project – streetscape upgrade.

Construction work progressing well under Level 3 and Level 2 restrictions.   Return to work plans have been prepared to reflect the Level 3 and Level 2 MOH guidelines. COVID -19 level 4 lockdown will have time and cost impacts on the project. This is being assessed at the moment.

Here is the progress so far  :

Ø Section A ( Northside From Ponsonby Road to Howe Street ): 98% complete

Ø Section B (Northside Motorway Over-bridge ): Complete 

Ø Section G (Southside from Upper Queen St to Mercury lane):  WIP at the Upper Queen St corner

Ø Section F (Southside from Symonds St to Upper Queens St ): Completed except traffic signal pole installation

Ø Section E(Northside from Symonds St to Upper Queen St ): In progress

Ø Section H: From Mercury Lane to East Street:  Work commenced from early May 2020

Ø Section I (Southside Motorway over bridge): In progress

 

In response to a meeting held with Karangahape Road Business Association (KBA) committee members AT are looking at options to open the cycleway safely in the completed sections. This is in light of the ongoing impact of COVID-19 to small business and ongoing construction.    

Detailed pilot trenching and CCTV investigation are continuing to be carried out for future sections for early identification of any potential clashes with underground services.

 

Regular meetings are being held with KBA the CRL project

·    Weekly Engagement with the Karangahape Business Association is going well

·    Both City Rail Link (CRL) and K Road comms and Development Response teams continue with a collaborative approach with stakeholders particularly in the areas that the projects interface.

·    John Filmore Contracting continue to provide regular project updates to the business and residential community    

·    Business are updated weekly on availability loading zones and pick up areas along the street.

·    The social media feed was released last month on the temporary art work on the over bridge with the local board, Facebook and others

·    Small business is finding the current conditions very difficult  

 

 

 

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

The project’s detailed design has been completed. Due to the significant impact of COVID-19 on AT and the wider Auckland Council whanau, there is uncertainty on delivering all Walking and Cycling projects that have not started construction, which includes Nelson Street Phase 3. AT will update Waitemata Local Board and all stakeholders once clear indication is received.

 

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

AT is in the process of notifying residents who are eligible for permits. Go-live is expected mid-August 2020.

 

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 installation of signs for the Parnell East parking zones will begin the week commencing 1 June and we anticipate this will take approximately 2 weeks.  The new zone will go live on 1 July 2020 giving the permits team sufficient time to process the permit applications.

 

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

Complete however minor defects (snags) are pending. Snags will be fully complete by end of June 2020.

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

Detailed design has been deferred to 2020/2021. This project is in the shovel ready list and awaiting an outcome.

Tamaki Drive cycle route (Quay Street to Ngapipi Bridge)

Works continue to progress well with construction of the new pedestrian bridge starting early June. The project team are still working towards completing before Americas Cup races begin in December 2020.

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

Met with the Local Board on 5 June to discuss changes.

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

The physical works commenced again on 29 April with COVID-19 level 3 Return to Work plan in place. The project team implemented an opportunity to undertake additional work during alert level 3 to accelerate the completion of the remaining section from Franklin Rd to Beaumont St.

The pavement reseal is planned to be undertaken from 7 June 2020, after which the cycleway along the southern side will be established by the placement of the concrete separators.  The timing of when to finish the cycleway on the northern footway will be guided by alert level 1 and the social distancing long term requirements.

 

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 drainage remedial works is complete. Work on the detailed design of the footway and zebra crossing remedial works will be completed by the end of June 2020.

 

The intention is to go for a direct appointment tender for the remedial works. The tender documents have been prepared in draft, however the construction has been deferred and is now subject to COVID-19 budget prioritisation.

 

Work on detailed designs for both Routes 1 and 2 are ongoing.

Wellesley Street and Sale Street – new intersection signals.

The project is currently being tendered and will likely commence in August 2020 however we are currently awaiting confirmation of funding for next financial year’s programme. Healthy Waters component is no longer included in AT’s contract.

 

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

Majority of works are due to be completed in June. Unfortunately, due to the current water restrictions the laying of grass and some planting will be deferred till these restrictions are lifted. Also as previously reported, some of the Daldy Street linear park works have also been deferred due to a delay in land transfer. All works are due be completed by 30th September 2020.

 

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

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

 

The Downtown Programme has been back on site since moving out of Level 4 lockdown restrictions on Tuesday 28 April.

 

The programme is currently preparing to shift into Level 1 restrictions. The project teams will be following the recently released level 1 Government protocols.

 

In essence, the requirement for social distancing has been removed and the focus will be on;

·      Hygiene

·      Tracing

·      Staying at home if sick or have symptoms

 

The public will see little change other than some sites potentially expanding to use areas previously provided to allow social distancing for public

 

Project timelines remain under review as we assess the impact of COVID-19. As we move into level 1, we will continue to review the timeline as normal productivity levels resume.


Mooring Dolphin

On 28 May 2020, at the Council’s Emergency Budget Committee meeting, the decision was made to stop work on the Queen’s Wharf Mooring dolphin project due to the negative impacts of COVID-19.

 

The approved resource consent for the dolphin will be surrendered, ending further Environment Court proceedings.

The Cruise Mooring Structure will not proceed any further.

Downtown Public Space (Te Wananga)

Concrete trial pours are taking place offsite ensure everything is in order for actual deck pours. First deck outs are programmed for mid-2020.



Quay Street Eastbound lane closure

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

Subject to TMP approval, from Sunday 07 June this shared path will revert back to a dedicated cycle lane along the closed eastbound lane. This will allow room for streetscape works to commence along the northern side of the road.

13.     The current Local Board has a total allocation of $3,896,643 for the 2019 – 2022 electoral period.

14.     The current COVID-19 situation will impact on the timeline for scoping, costing and allocating funds to potential Local Board Transport Fund projects. While work is continuing scoping and costing potential projects those requiring site visits have experienced delays on scope and costing. However, Auckland Transport is doing its best to ensure that work on these projects is progressing as fast as possible.

15.     At its May meeting the Local Board resolved the following:

Resolution number WTM/2020/110

 

Support Auckland Transport to continue the implementation of emergency footpath widening and cycleways through tactical urbanism in response to the COVID-19 pandemic including Tamaki Drive, Solent Street intersection, Queen Street and Ponsonby Road.

 

Resolution number WTM/2020/111

 

encourage Auckland Transport to improve the design and function of the remaining emergency footpath widening and cycleways.

Resolution number WTM/2020/112

 

support Auckland Transport to re-implement sections of emergency footpath widening and cycleways in areas that pose high risk to pedestrians and active mode users, especially where social distancing is challenging, or vehicle movements pose a threat.

 

Resolution number WTM/2020/114

 

request Auckland Transport to provide a rough order of cost for the following projects under the Local Board Transport Capital Fund: 

i)         the Freemans Bay Primary School - Safety Improvements project;

ii)        Roll out of CCTV across the City Centre, prioritising areas that have high risk to pedestrians and other vulnerable users of the road corridor;

iii)       Rose Road Plaza

iv)       Sherwood/ Stanmore Modal Filter, and

v)        Wakefield Park.

g)        express its thanks to Ben Halliwell for all the great work he has done for the Waitematā Board and for the people, businesses and organisations in the Waitematā Board area.

 

 

16.     Tamaki Drive
The Government intends to go to alert level one in the middle of the week beginning 8 June. When this happens AT will remove the remaining social distancing measures from Tamaki Drive.

June Off-Peak Fare offer

17.     During June 2020 Auckland Transport is introducing a special 30% off fare offer on buses and trains during off-peak periods.

18.     This means that people tagging on with their AT HOP cards after 9am and before 3pm will receive 30% off the normal adult AT HOP fare. The same applies for travel after 6pm until the end of service. Students travelling with tertiary concessions will receive an additional 10% off their normal 20% concession.

19.     This special offer is for June only and doesn’t apply on ferries or on Skybus services.

Speed Limits Bylaw

20.     To make our roads safer and to reduce deaths and serious injuries, the new Speed Limits Bylaw will come into force 30 June 2020 onwards.

21.     In the Waitemata Local Board area there are roads that will have new speed limits, these are outlined in Attachment A to this report.

22.     While the new speed limits will be live on 30th June 2020, the work of installing the new signage is taking place across Auckland, with the new signs being unveiled on the 30th June 2020.

Financial implications

30.     The proposed decision of receiving this report has no financial implications as outlined in the resolutions, analysis and advice.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

31.       Auckland Council is currently consulting on its Emergency Budget 2020/2021 and we will have more certainty on the impacts to the AT programme when the budget is adopted in July. Our capital and operating budgets will be reduced through this process. Some projects we had planned for 2020/2021 may not be able to be delivered, which will be disappointing to communities that we had already engaged with. Both the Community Safety Fund and the Local Board Transport Capital Fund may be impacted by these budget reductions.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

32.     Auckland Transport will provide another update report to the local board next month.

Context

7.       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.

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

9.       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.

10.     The Waitematā Local Board adopted the Waitematā Local Board Community Grants Programme 2019/2020 on 16 April 2019 (Attachment A). The document sets application guidelines for contestable grants.

11.     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

12.     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.

13.     Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, staff have also assessed each application according to which alert level the proposed activity is able to proceed in. In addition, staff have also provided comments regarding how the application responds to the needs of the community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

14.     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.

Financial implications

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

22.     The Waitematā Local Board has set a total community grants budget of $170,882.00

23.     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, who partially returned funds of $1470.42 and The Auckland Readers and Writers Festival Charitable Trust (QR2020-122) for $3,000.

This leaves a total of $83,315.42 to be allocated to one local and multiboard grant round and one quick response grant round in 2019/2020.

24.     A total of $57,160 was allocated to local grants round two and a total of $15,200 was allocated to multiboard grants round two, leaving $10,955.42 for allocation in Waitematā Quick Response Round Two 2019/2020.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The community benefits of this project can be seen at three different levels. 
Firstly, New Zealand's arts community will benefit from Turama as this is an avenue that will create income and additional financial support. New Zealand's Creative industries, who have been devastatingly impacted by this pandemic will have the chance to present their art to audiences, and engage with Auckland’s communities which has been virtually impossible during the nationwide lockdown.
Secondly, the various cultural communities of Auckland are able to engage with the arts in a shared open space. Turama is an inclusive event that exhibits the myriad of cultures the city encompasses, for all to see, admire and celebrate together.
Thirdly, the small local businesses of the inner city can take this as an opportunity to increase visitation into their stores, assisting in restoring the local economy.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

Turama 2020 creates a platform for local creators and members of the public to connect with each other through the arts. As a valued shared green space, Albert park is an all-encompassing environment for all communities. The festivals values of Inter-city Activation and Interactivity directly align with this priority. 
For Auckland to grow as a healthy and vibrant liveable city it is vital that individuals and communities are engaged by and able to enjoy their city, to live and play in the urban environment, and do so with excitement and enthusiasm. Tūrama’s InnerCity Activation focus brings purpose to this idea, inviting locals and visitors to enjoy Auckland on a winter’s night. Activation is about triggering a desire for people and spaces to light up and engage. As a fast growing metropolis, Auckland City is the perfect playground to explore the magic of activation through art, performance, music and food. Promoting accessible spaces for all Auckland
communities and visitors ensures a sense that anyone can be a part of and contribute to the activation of their space.
 
Interactivity: where people, spaces and objects collide. A collision of ideas and curious minds produces the creativity that Tūrama showcases. A celebration of the diversity and multiculturalism of Auckland City, Tūrama creates a space for social and cultural interaction through the mediums of art and performance. The festival inspires people to venture out during the typically slower months of winter, encouraging lively interaction and magical experiences.

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori involvement in the design/concept

We are collaborating with ATEED and mana whenua for the land, Ngāti Whātua-o-Ōrākei and Ngāti Pāoa. Last year, they provided guidance on how to carry out the event whilst recognising the kaitiakitanga and tikanga they have for the land. 
Conversations included granting permission to use their land, and how the event would run. They asked us to recognise the significance of the water-source, for which an artwork was showcased to represent its importance to the iwi.
Turama aims to promote ngā toi Māori development by creating more opportunities for Māori to develop their arts practice, skills and progress their careers. We are planning on working with one of the artists from the local iwi in this year’s event.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - It is essential that the festival be accessible for all as inclusitivity is one of Turama's core values. We have created an Accessibility Plan to ensure we create a safe, accessible and highly utilisable space for all individuals of any position to enjoy.

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

Albert Park exists as a smoke-free environment, which we will further promote by putting up signs to further encourage this message to event attendees. 
Sustainability is one of the core values of Turama. Our waste contractor, Clean Event aligns with this value also, and has a waste system to optimize the waste that gets diverted from landfill. In our Waste Management Plan we have outlined strategies that help Turama be a zero waste event. This includes a 3-way waste stream at each point of disposal, one for compostables, recyclables, landfill waste.
A range of healthy kai options from a selection of local food vendors will be made available to attendees. In line with our core value of sustainability, all food vendors are required to use compostable serveware in order to be a zero waste event. Free water will be available at all times. 
The main course of the event will follow an arts trail throughout the park. This promotes steady-state physical activity to all attendees as they are encouraged to visit a shared outdoor space whilst being on their feet.

Project: Blue Light Rainbows End Funday

Location:

Rainbows End Fun Park, 2 Clist Crescent, Manukau, Auckland

Summary:

For over 25 years Blue Light has taken 2,000 young people to Rainbows End each year. These youth are a mix of disadvantaged and under-privileged young people as well as young people providing leadership and service to their community as volunteers or in their primary or intermediate school through roles such as road patrollers, peer mediators and school counsellors. Youth participation at the Funday helps build positive relationships between police, young people, their whanau and community by having them all interacting in an iconic Auckland recreational environment. Blue Light volunteers, local Police members organise ticket distribution, consent, transport, food, drink and full supervision at the Fundays removing the barriers to participation of cost and transport for low decile school students.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Community benefits include:
Breaks down barriers and stereotypes between different sections of the community and the police e.g. 'Youth at Risk and Police' - Allows for diverse groups of the community e.g. ethnicity and socio-economic status,engaging them together in a fun, positive and iconic Auckland recreational activity. - Rewards those young people who have donated their time through volunteering in their community and in their schools  - Removes the barriers of participation to an iconic Auckland recreational activity for youth (notably those of cost and transport) by providing free tickets, transport, supervision, food, drink and organising consent for chosen youth from low decile schools and lower socioeconomic areas of Waitemata Local Board area.
 
Youth in this area have also been subjected to over 6 weeks in isolation.  Something that is not natural for this age group, engaging them in a positive community activity post COVID19 lockdown will also be beneficial for the mental health of these youth who have been through a stressful family time and this will give them something to look forward to.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

Each year Blue Light invites a mix of disadvantaged and under-privileged young people as well as young people who are currently providing leadership and service in community-led initiatives or school through roles such as volunteers, road patrollers, peer mediators and school counsellors to be part of the Blue Light Rainbows End Funday. Youth attendance at this event provides an opportunity to build positive relationships between police, Blue Light volunteers, young people, their whanau and the community by having them all interacting in an iconic Auckland recreational activity, removing barriers of participation (cost, transport). The bringing together of youth from across Auckland allows for the celebration of Auckland's diverse and distinctive communities in a fun positive environment whilst building positive relationships between the police, young people, their whanau and the community.
 
After the isolation created by the COVID19 lockdown, this type of community event is more important than ever to encourage people to get out and active again.

Project: Piki Toi

Location:

Pitt Street Methodist Church

Summary:

Piki Toi is a partnership that connects education, social enterprise, and a local community initiative. Its aim is to engage with the most marginalised people in the city through creative practice-based skills, community building, and entrepreneurship. The project is public facing, and has been successfully building capability within the homeless community for three years. The funding we seek is to publish these capabilities, their stories, and their artworks in a book that can be distributed within central Auckland. This book is to be designed and produced within a co-design process with the community as part of the knowledge and capability building processes.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The people who live within Auckland central who have experienced homeless or imprisonment, are our most marginalised and vulnerable citizens and suffer from a lack of opportunity to contribute to the mainstream, public facing cultural life of the city. This community wants to be accepted into, and participate in the city's creative cultural life. Our project is offering a way for this process to begin. The design and publication of a high-quality book that not only showcases their artworks, but connects these artworks to their stories, is a meaningful way to not only restore their mana, but promote their capabilities. The benefit this publication can give to the wider community is a greater degree of empathy towards people they see living rough on the streets, showcasing the potential marginalised people have, and a greater understanding of the richness and diversity of Auckland's cultural life.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·      Empower our communities by supporting community-led initiatives

 

This project, Piki Toi, is a partnership between Unitec, Lifewise Trust, and Awhina Mai Tatao Katoa, an urban Maori collective working with people who have experienced incarceration, homelessness, or are homeless within the Auckland CBD. The project's aim is to use creativity to engage our participants with the wider community, provide upskilling in technology, and offer entrepreneurial opportunities. The project also aims to create an awareness among businesses and the wider public within central Auckland of the potential our participants have for cultural contribution and creative innovation within the CBD.

Identified community outcomes:

 

NZ Yoga Day (NZYG) is an opportunity to integrate mixed health-based and Te Ao Maori practices into a community outdoors event hosted within what is stereotypically labelled as a 'white-washed' Local Board; Waitemata. NZYG 2020 will channel holistic celebration and conscious community encouragement of positive mental health, throughout all programmed active workshops. What NZ Yoga Day will also bring is 'contentment' to all the hard working members of Waitemata Local Board who often neglect their spiritual health in a time after, where contagious disease saw no boundaries (COVID-19 pandemic 2020).
 
Come Nov '20 it will be time to 'Reset, restore and revive' your Hauora ~ overall wellbeing.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

NZ Yoga Day recognises the largely sedentary nature of our modern lifestyle and aims to inspire people from all walks of life to incorporate more fitness and focus on wellbeing in their lives. NZ Yoga Day is an inclusive space where people are invited to connect through shared fitness practice, mass meditation and connection with others in meaningful conversation. 
 
The presenters come from diverse backgrounds and speak from their own personal experiences of transformation towards a more active and healthy lifestyle, thus inspiring community attendees. Civilians of Waitemata Local Board avidly seek community participation opportunities to lead active lifestyles, but locally they miss out...

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori involvement in the design/concept

Yoga is a traditional and spiritual physical practice, that assists with many areas of Hauora; mental and spiritual, as well as physical health. Many Maori traditions like moteatea and mau rakau (not just the Martial Art) need to be more commonly integrated within Mainstream health gatherings, throughout Auckland.
 
NZ Spirit work with other Maori collaborators that transmit their cultural knowledge within Nga Toi Maori (Arts) and Te Hauora tinana into Yoga-influenced classes where Waitemata Local Board, and wider Auckland audiences can participate in and share the teachings from their NZYG experience, with other members of the community.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Every venue NZ Spirit hosts events at take into consideration overall disability access. There is no 'classed' seating / admission within any NZ Spirit staging setup. In terms of mobility parking, as long as patrons make their disability known to event staff, prior to the event day, we ensure accessibility for SPECTRUM members of our community receive the necessary facilities required for them to enjoy themselves as much as able-bodied people.

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

As NZ Yoga Day is a health-focused Festival, alcohol is not permitted on-site or within all public areas of the event nor is it sold on-site. All of NZ Spirit's events lead a zero-waste policy which is revolutionary for Festivals and public events similar to its magnitude. Everyone brings their own re-usable cutlery, crockery and utensils leaving only compost as the 'waste' option. Previous participants to NZYG 2019 have left immense positive feedback, exclaiming "this was one of the best Summer experiences for my health
and happiness. I left the event more connected and inspired to pursue Hauora more actively."
All food vendors that register to sell product during NZ Spirit events are either vegetarian or plant-based (vegan) and are healthier for Aucklanders. As NZYG is a health-focused event, a 'no smoking' policy is enforced within the site grounds and security will be on patrol throughout the entire event, enforcing those restrictions.

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

Our project plan would be down-scaled. The length of the event, 10am - 6pm will need to be 'brought back,' finishing earlier in order to decrease the amount of classes and workshops (therefore not needing to pay as many instructors / pay event staff for less hours worked). This would majorly compromise the quality of the event, as avid yoga and meditative health partakers would miss out on world class workshops - achievable with a full-funded project budget.

Due to the alarming position COVID-19 lockdowns have caused event industries nationally - the need for innovation throughout a time of 'hibernation' is imperative. During NZ's COVID-19 nationwide lockdown, NZ Spirit was the first organisation in NZ to host an online performance Festival: https://www.earthspiritfestival.com/ During these uncertain times, we're still unsure if by November 2020, NZ will be out of lockdown? If we're not, NZ Spirit will have former experience to stage an all-day online event, as the contingency delivery option.

Requesting funding to go towards the hire of the Browne School of Art GALLERY space for the duration of three weeks exhibition at a total cost of $1200.00 + GST of $180.00.

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

All while having massive fun.  We are providing a community space, for the community, which fosters leadership, storytelling, and collaboration,thus increasing resilience and enhanced well-being.Strengthening human connection,will in turn build community cohesiveness after these turbulent times.But most importantly, improv theatre leads to joy, belly laughs and happiness.

Alignment with local board priorities:

The art of improvisation has been around for centuries and is recognised as an art form that builds confidence and resilience, enhances one’s creativity and imagination and develops storytelling and communication skills. All while having massive fun. It is the most powerful way to connect with people and teach vital life skills. Central to the Covert Theatre ethos is talent development. Being the only full-time comedy theatre school in New Zealand, Covert Theatre offers accelerated learning across all areas of comedy theatre, inclusive of sketch writing, production, mentoring, workshops and teaching to name a few. Covert Theatre celebrates the art of improvised comedy from grassroots to tall shoots- we have classes for all ages from 8 years old to 88 year olds (and even older). We believe in creating a pipeline of specialised talent to support Aotearoa’s arts and culture sector. We also have a thriving volunteer community and over 65 Covert members. A home for creativity where playfulness is celebrated for people of all ages.
