Endorsing Business Improvement District (BID) targeted rate grants for 2022/2023

File No.: CP2022/00478

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To recommend to the Governing Body the setting of the targeted rates for the Howick Village and Greater East Tāmaki Business Improvement District (BID) programmes for the 2022/2023 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, encourage resilience and attract new businesses and customers.

3.       Auckland Council supports business associations operating BID programmes, including Howick Village Association (HVA) and Greater East Tāmaki Business Association (GETBA), by collecting a targeted rate from business rated properties within a defined geographic area. The funds from the targeted rate are then provided by way of a BID targeted 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 BID programmes. 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 targeted rate 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 association’s BID strategic priorities.

6.       HVA members approved a BID targeted rate grant sum of $179,390 for 2022/2023. This figure is unchanged from the current financial year.

7.       GETBA members approved a BID targeted rate grant sum of $545,000 for 2022/2023. This figure is unchanged from the current financial year.

8.       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 independence of the business associations and the accountability for monies collected by a public sector organisation.

9.       For the council to be confident that the targeted rate grant funds provided to the BID-operating business associations are being used appropriately, the council requires the BIDs to comply with the Business Improvement District (BID) Policy (2016) (Kaupapa Here ā-Rohe Whakapiki Pakihi), known as the BID Policy. 

10.     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.

11.     Staff are satisfied both HVA and GETBA sufficiently comply with the BID Policy.

12.     Staff propose the Howick Local Board receives this report and recommends to the Governing Body the striking (setting) of the BID targeted rate grants sought by HVA and GETBA as part of the council’s Annual Budget 2022/2023 decision-making.

13.     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 2022. This enables HVA and GETBA to implement programmes that contribute to Outcome 5. A prosperous local economy supporting business growth and opportunity, thereby supporting the aspirations of the Howick Local Board Plan 2020.

14.     Howick’s BID programmes, managed by the two BID-operating business associations, will continue to play an important role in supporting its members facing two global challenges. A BID programme can support local businesses to mitigate some of the economic flow-on effects from the COVID 19 pandemic through business resilience and recovery initiatives. A BID programme can also facilitate opportunities that address the climate change emergency, with a focus on sustainability.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Howick Local Board:

a)      recommends to the Governing Body the setting of the targeted rates for inclusion in the Annual Budget 2022/2023 for the following Business Improvement District (BID) programmes:

i.        $179,390 for Howick Village Association.

ii.       $545,000 for Greater East Tāmaki Business Association.

Context

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

15.     The Auckland Council Growth Model 2021-2051 reports Tāmaki Makaurau is projected to include approximately 660,000 more people in the next 30 years. This level of population growth presents challenges and opportunities for Auckland town centres and commercial precincts.

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

17.     The BID programme does not replicate services provided by the council but channels the capabilities and knowledge of the private sector to improve economic outcomes and achieve common goals.

18.     BID programmes provide the opportunity for the council group to work with business associations to seize on the opportunities from Auckland’s growth. 

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 co-ordinated way.

BID programmes provide essential support in building business resilience and aiding economic recovery

20.     The economy continues to be impacted by the flow-on effects from the COVID-19 pandemic affecting both retail-based town centres and industrial precincts.

21.     BID-operating business associations provide the local business leadership required to help their members to mitigate some of the economic effects of the pandemic through business resilience and recovery initiatives.

BID programmes 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 business rated properties within a designated area around a 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 targeted rate grant to the relevant business association.

24.     This revenue is paid to the business association 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 rate grants

25.     Auckland Council’s Business Improvement District (BID) Policy (2016) (Kaupapa Here 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 a BID programmes; 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.

Diagram Description automatically generated

The business association sets the BID targeted rate 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 targeted rate grant amount, the association’s board must take into account what the local business and property owners can afford.

28.     Each BID-operating business association 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 association’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 targeted rate grant amount for the following financial year.

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

31.     Under the Auckland Council shared governance arrangements, local boards are allocated several decision-making responsibilities in relation to BID programmes. 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 sufficiently complying with the BID Policy.

32.     The Howick Local Board approved a similar recommendation for the BID programmes last year (resolution number HW/2021/66), 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

33.     The recommendation in this report is put into effect with the Governing Body’s approval of the Annual Budget 2022/2023 and its striking (setting) of the targeted rates.

34.     In accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Act 2002 and the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002, the Governing Body is authorised 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).

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

35.     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 a matter for business association members to determine. Staff, therefore, cannot base recommendations on these factors, but only on the policy’s express requirements.

Both Howick Village and Greater East Tāmaki business associations comply with the BID Policy

36.     Staff are satisfied that HVA and GETBA have sufficiently met the requirements of the BID Policy.

37.     Staff require BID-operating business associations to provide to the council the following documents, and stay in touch with their local board 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 resourced and achieved.

·   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 – the provisional minutes of each business association’s 2021 AGM meetings which contain the resolution, voted on by members, confirming the BID grant amount for the 2022/2023 financial year.

 

38.     In addition, BID-operating business associations are required to 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.

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

 

39.     The BID Policy sets an annual compliance deadline of 10 March for the information to be forwarded to the council, as summarised in the table below.

Nothing to record

Nothing to record

 

40.     As both HVA and GETBA have sufficiently complied with the BID Policy, staff advise the local board to recommend to the Governing Body the setting of the targeted rates.

 

Howick Village and Greater East Tamaki Business Association retained their BID targeted rate grant amounts for 2022/2023

41.     As shown in Table 2 below shows:

·    Howick Village Association’s proposed BID targeted rate for 2022/2023 - $179,390. Records show this business association has not increased the sum since 2020.

·    Greater East Tāmaki Business Association’s proposed BID targeted rate for 2022/2023 - $545,000. Records show this business association has not increased the sum since 2020.

 

A regional perspective    

42.     Across Tāmaki Makaurau’s 50 BID-operating business associations, 26 increased their targeted rates between 1.6% to 10% - for 2022/2023, while 24 maintained the fiscal status quo.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

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

44.     From running carbon-reducing ‘shop local’ campaigns to promoting online channels and championing waste reduction and recovery programmes, there are many examples of BID programmes leading the local business sector’s response to the climate change emergency.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

45.     Advocacy is a key service provided by business associations and those with BID programme-funded personnel are at an advantage. BID-operating business associations ensure the views and ambitions of their members are provided to elected representatives and council teams, including CCOs, on those policies, plans, programmes and projects that impact them.

46.     The BID-operating business associations work with Auckland Unlimited (AU) on economic development initiatives, events and sustainability programmes.

47.     The BID-operating business associations also work constructively with both Eke Panuku and Auckland Transport on often controversial proposals and projects.

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

Local impacts and local board views

48.     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 (or alternates) can attend BID board meetings to ensure there is a direct link between the council and the operation of the BID programme.

49.     Howick and Greater East Tamaki BIDs value their strong and enduring governance-to-governance relationship with the Howick Local Board. The contributions by the local board’s ‘BID representatives’, past and present, have promoted mutual understanding, collaboration and aligned economic outcomes.

Visions, plans aligned

50.     The BID-operating business associations and local board share an interest in the local rohe and are ambitious for its future and its people. They also share goals that include economic prosperity, community identity, placemaking and pride.

51.     HVA and GETBA BID programmes tangibly support the vision and aspirations of the Howick Local Board Plan 2020, best expressed in Outcome 5. A prosperous local economy supporting business growth and opportunity.

Local rohe, local benefit, local funding

52.     Recommending that the Governing Body sets the targeted rates for the Howick Village and Greater East Tāmaki business associations means that these BID programmes will continue to be funded from targeted rates on commercial properties in their respective rohe. They will provide services in accordance with their members’ priorities as stated in their strategic plans.

53.     Howick Local Board is among several local boards which provides additional funding to local business associations, however accountability for any grants is set by funding agreements between the local board and each 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

54.     Māori make up more than 5.7% of the population living in the Howick Local Board area, compared to 11.5% of Auckland (SOURCE: 2018 CENSUS).  Individual business associations may, through operating their BID programme, identify opportunities for niche support or development of any Māori business sector in their rohe.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

55.     There are no financial implications for the local board. Targeted rates for BID-operating business associations are raised directly from business 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 associations every quarter.

56.     The targeted rate is payable by the owners of the business rated properties within the geographic area of the individual BID programmes. 

57.     If the Governing Body agrees with the BID targeted rate grants proposed by the business associations, the cost of grants will be met from the existing operational budget.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

58.     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 grants for these business associations.

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

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

61.     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.

62.     Economic disruption created by the flow-on effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to be felt in 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 can, through business resilience and recovery initiatives, help to mitigate some of the economic effects of the pandemic.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

63.     If the local board supports this report, it will recommend to the Governing Body that the BID targeted rates be set as part of the Annual Budget 2022/2023.

64.     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 2022, to the Howick Village and Greater East Tāmaki business associations. This enables the BIDs to implement programmes that improve the local business environment and support businesses as they recover from the flow-on effects from the COVID 19 pandemic and help address the climate change emergency through sustainability initiatives.

Howick Local Board Grants Programme 2022/2023

The Local Grants Programme aims to provide contestable and discretionary community grants to local

communities.

 

Outcomes sought from the local grants programme

The Howick Local grants programme will be targeted towards supporting the following outcomes and priorities as outlined in our local board plan 2020.

People in our communities feel safe, engaged, and connected

·    People actively contribute to their community

·    People are safe with access to services to support their wellbeing

·    Rangatahi /Youth in Howick have a voice, are valued, and contribute

 

Well planned public spaces that support active, healthy, and sustainable lifestyles

·    Sports and recreational opportunities respond to the needs of our communities

 

Heritage, local arts, and cultural diversity are valued

·    Enable people to engage with local history, and share their diverse cultures

·    Support local arts, culture, music and heritage activities and experiences

Effective and accessible transport choices

·    Active transport infrastructure enables connection with schools, key community facilities and transport hubs

 

 

Higher Priorities

The Howick Local Board will prioritise applications which:

·    Demonstrate SmokeFree programmes

·    Demonstrate zero waste activities

·    Events or activities that are held in the local board area and can demonstrate the benefit to the local community

·    Have considered other funding sources or there is a contribution from the application to the event or activity (financial or volunteer time).

 

Lower Priorities

The Howick Local Board will also consider applications for other services, projects, events and activities which may be considered a lower priority on a case by case basis.

 The Howick Local Board has identified the following as lower priorities:

·    Fundraising events or activities, unless the activity or event has a wide community benefit beyond its primary purpose as a fundraiser

·    Onegoing operation costs including, wages and salaries, with the exception of fees for professional and specialised services

The Howick Local Board will take into account, if a group has a substantial cash surplus (relative to the amount applied for), unless the surplus has a specific purpose, which means it can’t be used as a contribution to the project.

Exclusions and Ineligibility

In addition to the eligibility criteria outlined the Community Grants Policy, the Howick Local Board will not fund:

·    Applicants who have failed to complete or provide a satisdactory Accountability Report from previous grants

Investment Approach

The Howick Local Board has allocated budgets to support the local grants programme as follows:

a)   Quick Response Grants

•     Minimum amount per grant: $300.00

•     Maximum amount per grant: $10,000.00

b)   Local Grants and Mulit-board Grants

•     Minimum amount per grant: $3,000.00

•     Maximum amount per grant: N/A

Note: Applications requesting more than $10,000.00 need to provide a full and concise budget when applying.

Accountability Measures

Mulit-board Grants

Summary:

Our Learn to Play programme is ran out of the two Auckland ice rinks. Paradice Botany and Paradice Avondale. Learn to Play is for kids aged 4-12, and is run 4 days a week split between the two locations. It is where kids and families in our communities learnt the sport of Ice Hockey at a grass roots level.

Expertise:

We have been running Learn to Play for a couple years now and have seen steady growth throughout that time. Even with Covid hitting the community, we managed to keep a large % of our kids in the sport. Multiple board members with AIHA are self made business people who all bring their expertise to the table, and a very good coaching staff with years of experience.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Learn to Play is a fun way to learn the sport of Ice Hockey. It keeps kids around our community active throughout the year. With ice time and hockey gear being the 2 major costs for kids to play the sport of hockey, successful grant applications help to keep the costs to families around Auckland down.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Sports and recreational opportunities respond to the needs of our communities

 

Our grant application is for funds to help cover ice time costs for our Learn to Play (aged 4-12) at the Botany Paradise Ice Rink. As ice time is our largest operating cost each year, this helps to keep the cost of our sport down for families around Auckland.

Project: Auckland King Tides Initiative Community CoastSnap Beach Monitoring

Location:

Clovelly Road Walkway, Eastern Beach

Summary:

Construct and install CoastSnap devices at public coastal locations that can be monitored by local communities. The process of capturing and providing beach state data (complementing water level data) to the Auckland King Tides Initiative provides an opportunity for communities to learn about the causes and impacts of sea level rise on their coastline. CoastSnap devices provide a focal point for communities, where repeat photos at the same location tracks how the coast is changing over time due to processes such as storms, rising sea levels, human activities and other factors. CoastSnap uses photogrammetry to turns photos into valuable coastal data that is used by coastal scientists to understand and forecast how coastlines might change in the coming decades.

Expertise:

In 2019 community participation was demonstrated by receiving 270 photos of king tide events disseminated via our website and social media platform. Direct participation of approximately 300 students and their parents in learning how to use a photo point to take a photo of a king tide and to upload it to our website was also evidence of community participation.
Website and social media updates and notifications of king tide events, photo galleries, blogs, as well as media stories increased community awareness of sea level rise as an impact of climate change. These communication streams have reached a minimum of 34,554 people via social media in 2019. A wider audience was also reached via media articles and the website.

Focus specific:

Event producer/contractor/3rd party:

Environmental benefits: Additional CoastSnap devices and existing tide gauges are required to validate radar-based data already being collected by the Council. This proposal provides additional devices to validate existing data. Data collected via this proposal is of a lower level of confidence than radar- collected data, but will be at an agreed and acceptable error level (as defined by Auckland Council and NIWA) to still be valuable in validating Council collected data.
Data collected by communities has a valuable purpose in validating Council collected data in order to assess inundation risk from sea level rise as outlined above.

Promotion via media (previous national press coverage includes TV1, TV3, RNZ, The Listener, NZ Geographic,NZ Herald, stuff.co.nz, fairfax local newspapers).
 
Will seek promotion via Auckland Council publications (e.g. OURAUCKLAND), and publications by NIWA, New Zealand Coastal Society). 
 
Our content has been used free of charge by Auckland Council, NIWA, and the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment for their publications in the past.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Auckland residents become aware of the potential impacts of sea level rise in the next 30-50 years on the wider region and their own local coastal environment.
We create and maintain a CoastSnap and water level (tidal) gauge network (supported by an exisiting website and social media platform) that continues a conversation around what sea level rise might mean for local communities and Auckland as a whole. 2014 saw the creation of a portal to capture king tide event images and associated information relating to sea level rise.
Users of this portal become part of an active network of individuals, communities, businesses and authorities that take actions that allow communities to adapt to sea level rise (e.g. location and nature of future development, erosion protection works, community response to impacts).
Specific measured outcomes for participants would include:
1. Involvement with the programme that is “hands-on”; involving an action component (e.g. photo and/or water level measurement).
2. Greater importance and value of capturing the impacts of king tide events on coastal locations.
3. Talking to others about sea level rise.
4. Getting involved in a citizen science project.
5. Looking after their local part of the coast.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Protect and enhance our unique coastline

 

Auckland Council collects water level data via radar-based tide gauges in order to allow the validation of extreme sea level estimates that are based on modeled data, in order to gain an appreciation of coastal inundation risk across the region under a range of sea level rise scenarios.
These radar-based gauges need to be supplemented by staff gauges on site, to provide a visual comparison to validate the data captured.
This project encourages a community-led approach that captures the required supplementary data via water level (tidal) gauges that also provides a means to engage the public around sea level rise. The proposed CoastSnap device takes this a step further to compliment data collected by tide gauges installed in the vicinity. It does this by building a community database that provides new insights on beach responses to changing weather and wave conditions, extreme storms and changes in sea level. Over time, CoastSnaps will record erosion and recovery cycles, and any long-term changes, helping us understand why some beaches are more dynamic or resilient than others.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

Use of mātauranga (knowledge) maori would be valuable in understanding historic sea levels. We have historic background data on sea levels going back to the 1800's, but understanding practices and patterns of use and settlement on the coast by maori in
the past would provide valuable context to the western scientific data that we have. Communities in the coastal locations outlined in the proposal will have this knowledge.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes- CoastSnap device will be located in public spaces that have vantage points that are accessible to people with disabilities.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

CoastSnap devices will be located in smoke-free public spaces, providing an opportunity to take part in the project in a smoke free environment.
 
Seeing the visual impacts of sea level rise on beach profiles can provide motivation for individual and communities to transition towards a low carbon lifestyle. This project provides this opportunity in a public space, where CoastSnap devices can show how the magnitude and impacts of a king tide will be an average daily tide within our lifetimes. 
 
The project also encourages a community-led approach to capture water level data and beach profile photos that will help agencies understand the coastal inundation risk that the city will face in the next 30 to 50 years.

Identified community outcomes:

 

Increasing the cricket facilities in the area for the Rangatahi to develop their game in a safe and quality facility. Apart from HPCC and 1 or 2 schools the Howick area does not have quality cricket training facilities. As stated earlier, we work closely with the HPCC. The club uses our facilities for trainings and games for their junior club as there is a demand in the area, the game has had great growth and the area facilities have not grown accordingly.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Sports and recreational opportunities respond to the needs of our communities

 

We would like to develop cricket practice facilities at our school. Benefitting the local community by providing a further resource for the Rangatahi of the area. At the moment there are minimal facilities in the area for the youth to develop their cricket skills. We have a healthy working relationship with the Howick Pakuranga Cricket club who are the main providers of facilities in the area. We share facilities when available and will continue this relationship.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

There is a large number of Chinese migrants living in the Howick Ward. As most of the information, community activities and seminars for dementia are disseminated in English, it is difficult for the Chinese to have an in-depth understanding of dementia and to fully participate in the activities. This project is language specific as it will be conducted in Cantonese to people living in East Auckland.
 
Short-term benefits: 
1) Keeping older Chinese in our communities feel safe, engaged, and connected through the same language speaking activities; 
2) Encouraging older Chinese’s participation by the convenient location that is close to residential areas and easily accessible and the activities are free; 
3) Appropriate and age-friendly distribution of information through community talks and volunteer’s support
 
Medium-term benefits: 
1) Enhancing the social connection and promoting mutual support in our communities through providing community education talks and brain health activities;
2) Providing brain health activities to prevent dementia and social isolation so as to keep older people healthy, independent and active
3) Encouraging intergenerational integration by empowering and supporting people who are caring for the older people with dementia (such as family members, young volunteers) 
 
Long-term: Reducing the stigma on people living with dementia

Project: Hauora/Wellbeing Space for New Entrants

Location:

28 Sandspit Road, Cockle Bay, Auckland

Summary:

We are looking to create a new wahi tamariki (children's space) that would support the hauora of our younger students.  The space we have in mind is located in front of our new entrant classrooms and is currently devoid of character or decoration (see later photo attachments).  Improvements would include bench seating, a water fountain/bottle filler, and the conversion of an existing retained garden into a sensory māra kai or vegetable garden. The garden would also include a section with flowers and a bird bath. It would be planted and tended by our youngest students. We envisage a child-centric, calm and uplifting space and plan to invite senior students to contribute artwork that supports our māra kai and wellbeing theme.

Expertise:

As part of our schoolwide hauora planning, staff recently undertook professional development in "Pause Breathe Smile" training to assist with integrating mindfulness into our classrooms and managing the increased levels of stress and anxiety in the students.  The school's staff and parents would provide the labour to establish the garden, while the children would be taught how to plant and care for the garden.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

We are seeing unprecedented levels of need for wellbeing support from our students, staff and our wider school community.  Physical distancing and ventilation requirements necessitated by the pandemic have highlighted an urgent requirement for more outdoor kōrero areas. The past two years have been very demanding on our staff and students and our youngest children have needed to become independent quickly to cope with physical distancing, staff wearing masks all day, constant cleaning of high touch areas and a myriad of other introduced routines. Home life throughout the pandemic has also not been easy for many.  Parents have lost jobs and businesses through mandates, lockdowns and border closures, and everyone around the children has been on edge with their own concerns and worries.  At Cockle Bay School we have been implementing a number of initiatives to counter some of the anxiety and stress that children have been feeling and we believe that this project would lift the morale of everyone involved, introduce our younger students to sustainable living and, most importantly, give them a calm, connected space that they can take pride in and call their own.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     People are safe with access to services to support their wellbeing

 

Cockle Bay School is currently noting unprecedented levels of need for wellbeing support from our students, staff and our wider school community.  The physical distancing restrictions and ventilation requirements necessitated by the pandemic have highlighted an urgent requirement for more outdoor kōrero areas where students can gather in small groups or have one-on-one support.
 
We believe that wellbeing can be "taught" and "caught".  There is evidence that whole school promotion on wellbeing (flourishing) and resilience leads to higher levels of personal wellbeing and that aspects of wellbeing and resilience can be taught and learned. In our wellbeing responsiveness planning we have identified the need for more hauora spaces throughout the school where  we can incorporate the four dimensions of hauora: taha tinana (physical well-being – health), taha hinengaro (mental and emotional well-being – self-confidence), taha whanau (social well-being – self-esteem) and taha wairua (spiritual well-being – personal beliefs).

 

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

'He māra kai’ - the food garden - where students will follow the process of planting, tending, then cultivation of the vegetables and flowers.  Each vegetable or flower would have its own plant marker with its name in both English and te reo.
The bird bath we would like to purchase features a double koru. The koru is symbolic of peace, tranquility, positive change and awakening - perfect for our mindfulness theme. The 'He māra kai’ theme will be carried through the garden by artwork provided by our senior students.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes- Our school is inclusive and is fully equipped for people with a variety of disabilities.  Our garden will be wheelchair accessible and, as part of its wellbeing theme, will also be sensory - appealing to children with autism spectrum disorder and the visually and hearing impaired.  It has been proven that children with disabilities who participate in gardening show improvement in their non-verbal communication skills and situational awareness, which helps them better interact with peers, allowing them the opportunity to make connections and form relationships.

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, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

Smoke Free -  the Cockle Bay School site is Smoke and Vape free and signage is present all around the school site.
Zero Waste - all garden waste will support our worm farm located nearby.  Cockle Bay School is an Enviro school.
Healthy options for food and drink - this would be the first modern drink fountain with a bottle filler on the school site and the children would love it.
Encouraging active lifestyles - gardening is an immersive exercise that can brings connection between mind, body and spirit.
Increase community resilience to climate change - teaching young children sustainability through growing their own food.

If we are unable to fully fund the project plan we would prioritise the seating arrangements as these are central to our hauora plan for increasing mindfulness areas around the school for children who need some quiet time or a calm down space, where they can regulate their emotions.  If we had to try to make up the difference in funding we would attempt fundraisers, although we are reluctant to ask families for money, knowing that many of our parents have lost jobs or have struggling businesses.

Project: STARS Pakuranga

Location:

Te Tuhi Arts Centre, 13 Reeves Rd, Pakuranga, Auckland

Summary:

STARS Pakuranga is a therapeutic and creative dance / movement programme designed to support the development of young people on the Autism Spectrum, and with related disorders including Global Developmental Delays, ADHD, Anxiety, and Dyspraxia. The goal is to support tangata whaiora (service users), their parent(s) or carers to help participants reach their goals and translate the benefits into their daily lives. The key objectives are to celebrate and empower tamariki with disabilities, developing their social and communication skills, emotional intelligence and wellbeing, coordination and motor function, as well as increasing their participation at school and the community. Sessions are led by a team of three facilitators, and run weekly for eight weeks with six children each term.

Expertise:

DTNZ has been running clinical dance movement therapy groups since our inception in 2010. Our therapy team is made up of qualified and highly experienced Dance Movement and Arts therapists who have been rigorously trained either in Aotearoa New Zealand, or through reputable international organisations. DTNZ provides regular supervision to our therapists who facilitate clinical groups including STARS Pakuranga for both client and therapist safety, and to ensure a sustainable approach to every programme is maintained. We have a comprehensive Health & Safety Policy and are experienced at facilitating groups online when we can't come together in person.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The key community benefit of our programme, especially during this difficult time, is ensuring that youth with disabilities feel connected and their whānau feel adequately supported by the community. In the past year we had 131 attendances to our STARS Pakuranga programme, which is reflective of a dip in participants due to online delivery over the extended lockdown between August and December, 2021. Looking ahead, we anticipate these numbers to increase to over 180 attendances based on previous years and the fact we currently have a fully subscribed group of six clients.
 
To enrich the community, it's vital that participants feel confident in exercising the skills learnt in our groups outside of the programme with their whānau, with peers, at school, and in other community settings. We achieve this by providing wraparound support, regularly checking in with parents, holding review meetings, and requesting feedback every six months. STARS allows young people who often cannot participate in mainstream after-school activities because of additional behavioural or sensory needs, to develop social connections with others through the meaningful shared experience of dance and movement. This will serve to bring positive energy and a renewed sense of vibrancy to the community as a whole.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     People are safe with access to services to support their wellbeing

 

STARS Pakuranga provides accessible and fun wellbeing support services to youth with intellectual and/or physical disabilities in the Howick Local Board area. This programme runs weekly on Wednesdays during school term from 3.45 - 4.45pm at the Te Tuhi Arts Centre, which is an accessible location for our tangata whaiora. Led by experienced facilitators, Brittany Kohler & Tanvi Rodrigues, this group provides a safe space for tamariki to develop their social and communication skills, coordination and motor function, emotional intelligence and compassion, but most importantly, their self-confidence. We've built a sense of community here, with participants coming back each term to see their friends and the facilitators. Even when we've been unable to come together in person due to Covid-19 related disturbances, we've swiftly moved sessions online to Zoom. DTNZ realises the importance of stability, routine and social connection, especially for young people on the spectrum. Trust-based relationships are important here, so we can better understand the needs and goals of each client, providing individual support wherever needed. Therapists are also in regular contact with whānau to see how the benefits of this group are translating into their everyday lives.

To have our Rangatahi focus on their mental health and well being. To learn techniques that are valuable in life and to help them stay healthy and active. The benefits of physical health are endless. No only is this for our rangatahi but it inspires their parents. A whole family focusing on their health and wellbeing is most important in the current environment following two years of Covid restrictions.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Sports and recreational opportunities respond to the needs of our communities

 

Our rangatahi have been severely impacted by COVID 19 restrictions. They have been unable to freely play sports and interact with like minded teens. We support their mental health and well-being by running free community classes and hosting teen get togethers for them to be surrounded by positive and supportive people.

We wouldn't be able to have the equipment and use what we have. This means our bigger rangatahi miss out because they are unable to run. The dumbells had a element of weight that is suited to their skill level and the tshirts are to keep the space neutral.

Project: East Skate Club Lessons + Event

Location:

Multiple locations including schools, local skateparks and Sonsk8

Summary:

Skateboard lessons, offered Monday - Friday from 3:30pm - 5pm and to be held at local
venues, either school grounds or Lloyd Elsmore Skatepark. Providing accessibility for
children to attend after school. Working in collaboration with 7 schools who are promoting
and endorsing the programme to their school community. All skatebords, equipment and
protective gear provided.
The skateboard lessons are of top-quality using skateboard coaches who are relevant, often
from the local region and pro skaters. The sessions begin with practice on flat ground for the
first couple of weeks, before progressing onto a more advanced ramp skate setup. The final
session for the term will be held at Sonskate indoor skatepark in GlenInnes (NZ's only indoor
skate park)

Expertise:

EastSkate is affiliated with the official NZ Skate body, overseeing skating nationally. The
skate tutors, include skate instructors have a passion for skating and seeing the inclusive nature of the sport grow within the community.
EastSkate has a proven model of skateboard training, having held multiple lessons
across terms this year with resounding success both in local media as well as national
TV. The voice of the community in the many comments on social media and letters of
recommendation speak to the quality of service that they deliver for recreational activity of
skateboarding in the Howick region. Having the backup and endorsement from local schools
enables East Skate to partner and reach the community of young skater

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Outcome One:
--------------------
Increased participation in recreational sport, for tamariki and rangatahi in Howick, with
skateboarding being voiced by the community as a popular option. Skateboarding offers
an alternative to competitive sport for those that are unable to access it, as well as those
wishing to develop a non-competitive sport. This is in response to recent trends in Sport
Auckland that there is an emerging downward trend in belonging to a team or club, with
most weekly participation being for children in non-competitive sports and activities. As
such East Skate serves this large population of children that identify with this sporting
preference, within the Howick community which has been precipitated with COVID 19.
Outcome two:
-------------------
Delivery of skateboarding lessons that are quality recreational activities, delivered by proskaters in a safe and empowering environment.
Outcome Three:
---------------------
Partnership and collaboration with Howick Schools, to co-partner in the skateboard lessons
and provide their community with afterschool activities that are beneficial not only
physically but also for well-being and community sense of belonging.
Outcome Four:
--------------------
Development of future youth leaders, from skateboard lessons, to train up as skateboard
tutors for future skateboard lessons. This enables opportunities for leadership and

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Sports and recreational opportunities respond to the needs of our communities

 

1) People contributing to their communities: East Skate has a strong community of
volunteers who have supported EastSkate initiatives over the past year including parents involvement in children's skateboard lessons, volunteering at the monthly Friday jams
skateboard event which has live bands and a BBQ for all ages. Aaron Martin, who is
EastSkates manager, has dedicated hours of volunteering time to set up the East Skate
charity, as have the committee.
2) Safe with access to services that support wellbeing: East Skate have advocated for Lloyd
Elsmore resurfacing to provide safe access for skateboarders and wheeled sports activities
in the community. After pulling together over 1200 voices in the Howick and Pakuranga
community, we were grateful for the Howck Local Board to endorse and provide resurfacing
of the park which is now being used extensively by the community. In this application, we
propose funding of skateboard lessons for children and youth in Howick and Pakuranga
and this will provide safe and accessible opportunities for children to development their
skateboarding skills to increase active recreational activity and also importantly develop
community and friendships in this process that give them mental wellbeing and a sense of
belonging in a non-competitive and fun environment. As skateboarding can be accessed
anywhere, they can take these skills into their sub-communities to further their skills.
3. Rangatahi have a voice are valued and contribute: East Skate has grown since its
inception and as skateboard lessons have been delivered, as well as new talent coming
regularly to the Lloyd Elsmore Park, it has become apparent that there is youth that can
be trained up to be trainers of the new skateboarders coming in for lessons. Training and
development of these youth are undertaken as is police vetting to ensure the safety of our
community. Rangatahi have been active members of our community with an expression
of their voice in petitions that have been made, for example, the resurfacing of the Lloyd
Elsmore Skate park as well as ongoing development.
4. Sport/Recreation opportunities respond to the need of the community: The big picture
on inactive populations, found in NZ Sport insight shows a need for continued development
of active recreational programmes for our tamariki and rangatahi. Within the Howick Local
Board, 10% and 14% of tamariki and rangatahi, respectively, are “inactive”. In addition,
NZ Sport research finds that there is an emerging downward trend in belonging to a team
or club, with most weekly participation being for children in non-competitive sports and
activities. As such East Skate serves this large population of children that identify with this
sporting preference
Although in the broader context of statistics, from NZ Sport, the domain of skateboarding
rates are relatively lower on the scale of “activity behaviours”, in contrast to other sporting
activities within the Howick Local Board area, this is not what we have observed within
our community. After listening to the voice of the community, we get a different result
with extensive interest, in skateboarding, represented by numbers of individuals who have
participated as well as expressions of interest from 7 schools and a large amount whanau,
affiliated with our club, who wish to collaborate with EastSkate and have us provide after
school skateboard lessons to their community.

Project: Replace gutters and secure safety of Bell House and Barn.

Location:

75 Bells Road, Pakuranga. Legal description: Lot 2 DP 60358 Pt Allot 22 Pakuranga Parish. Location description: CT 17D/521 (North Auckland Registry) - as per Heritage Covenant legal description.

Summary:

Our project is dual purpose with focuses on both safety and security.  The first part concerns work on maintenance of the lower level eaves-troughs and downspouts by removing and replacing failing guttering on the lower half of Bell House and painting the fascia where the removal occurred.  Currently, the gutters have rusted and rotted through in some places, staining the exterior walls when it rains, with the potential for more damage inevitable (see photos attached).  The second part concerns building a wooden fence just inside the property line to ensure safety and security of Bell House, Bell's Barn, and grounds.

Expertise:

Howick & Districts Historical Society developed and created the Howick Historical Village.  The Board of the Society has over 40 years of working in the area of historic preservation, and looks to Heritage NZ for advice and guidance when required.  With a number of retired contractors and engineers on the Board, experts are consulted and hired whenever necessary.  As such, the Board has secured quotes from qualified companies to carry out this work.

Focus specific:

Building/site accessible or visible to the public: Bell House and Bell's Barn are situated within the heart of Lloyd Elsmore Park.  While not visible from Aviemore Drive, Pakuranga Highway, or Cascades Road, they are, however, visibile within the park from both Bells Road and Lady Marie Drive, as well as from the walking paths to the west of the Village.  Howick Historical Village, which is run by Howick & District Historical Society, will share updates on their website, Facebook, and Instagram pages of the progress.

Promotion:

Howick Historical Village, which is run by Howick & District Historical Society, will share updates on its website, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media pages of the progress of the work and promote Howick Local Board's support of the same.  The Village will also promote the Council's support by posting signage at our front desk and in the entrance to Bell House.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Bell House and Bell's Barn are utilized by the public through venue hire for the former, and as a working and meeting space for the Howick branch of the non-profit organization Menzshed, in the case of the latter.  In use as a restaurant for many years prior to a fire in 2009, Bell House was turned over to HDHS to manage and has been used as a rental space since.  Bell House serves as the memorable backdrop for weddings, memorials, and parties, as well as provides space for workshops, teas, lectures, and other community oriented events.  The upstairs of the building is rented to Miku Art School, which is run by artist Livila Wei and focuses on instruction in traditional Chinese painting.   
 
Maintaining the structural integrity of the gutters will prevent additional exterior water damage and avert any such interior concerns, which would create far greater costs than that of replacing eaves-troughs and downspouts, and painting fascia.  
 
The fence will help secure the footprint of Bell House and Bell's Barn, deterring vandals and trespassers who have recently caused damage.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Support local arts, culture, music and heritage activities and experiences

 

This grant would support removing and replacing the old spouting and down pipes on the lower level of Bell House, painting the fascia where the current rotted metal gutters have stained the facade, and building a secure, wood fence just inside the southern perimeter of Bell House and Bell's Barn grounds.
 
Despite being free of borer for 172 years, and withstanding the 1895 move that took over two-weeks, Category 1 Listed Bell House now faces serious weathering-related issues and safety concerns, as well as major aesthetic problems.  The guttering on the lower level of Bell House has failed in several places, resulting in both water damage and rust-staining to the exterior of the building.  Left unresolved, there is a high likelihood of damage to the interior in the near future.  
 
Furthermore, there is open access through a damaged chain-link fence separating Bell House and Bell's Barn from the rugby club grounds, which has led to graffiti on Category 2 Listed Bell's Barn as well as trespassers into both Bell House gardens and Howick Historical Village.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The 175th anniversary year since the first Fencible settlements provides a celebratory and educative opportunity for all residents in the Howick Local Ward to participate in a wide range of events. See our calendar of events on the website: www.howick175.co.nz . These are opportunities of community togetherness, education insights about early settler and bicultural beginnings, renewed resourcing by the Howick Historical Society and village, and for children, families and migrants especially to have new and fresh undestandings of our local heritage.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     People actively contribute to their community

 

The 175th celebratory year of 2022 is about the local communities of Howick, Pakuranga, Botany and Flatbush (the community of the HLB) having the opportunity to know about early Pakeha, and Maori, history. Especially the late 1840s settlements of Fencible families and all those peoples who subsequently made East Auckland their home.  The wide variety and range of local organisations already involved gives evidence of how comprehensive and important the celebrations are, with Chinese Association, East Auckland Principal's Association, Harlequin Theatre, East Auckland Tourism, Howick Historical Society and Village, Uxbridge Arts Centre and East Auckland Ministers Assoc all supportive and involved.

Amount requested:

Requesting grant for:

See budget items, and in particular items for public events like the community beach picnic, parade contributon, and advertising of 175 events with media costs, banners, billboards etc.

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

We would have to reduce the 175 planned programme, especially the main public-involved events, such as the beach community event, the advertising/promotional work to the public and planned for 175 community parade involvement. That would be a huge disappointment to the public and the many volunteers who have already worked very hard for the 175 anniversary year of 202.

Cost of participation:

Key175 events are free, however for the 175 community luncheon tickets will be user pays.

Project: Air Conditioning Equipment

Location:

Howick Club Upstairs Clubrooms

Summary:

We use our clubroom facilities throughout the year. Our facilities are very good, but can be adhanced further. Our users have indicated that the addition of air conditioning units would provide an even better and more comfortable experience for our members, visitors and usergroups.

Expertise:

We have had considerable experience in enhancing our facilities in the past. For example we have modernised our downstairs kitchen, added a bowls shop and renovated the greenkeepers shed.

Identified community outcomes:

 

We are confident that the air conditioned units would bcreate a more welcoming experience and lead to an increase in patronage at our club which would in turn generate more income, enabling us to avoid the need to increase membership fees, and thus more likely to encourage new members to participate in our activities. This is particularly important given the cosiderable strain that Covid-19 has placed upon our financial resources.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Sports and recreational opportunities respond to the needs of our communities

 

Our project will enhance the comfort, wellbeing, and atmosphere for all our local and visiting bowlers, and all those people  from the local communitywho use our facilities for other social events with which they are connected. A significant number of our bowlers and users of our clubrooms are senior citizens.

Summary:

Installation of a new, larger water tank to collect rain water. The rain water collected will be used to water the veggie garden and fruit trees as well as the native trees. The tank itself will be used as part of a teaching programme for 2022 (Sustainability ) and as an ongoing teachable moment .

Expertise:

We have established other enviro projects such as an extensive compost area. Previously we had a very small water tank (which broke after many years use)

Identified community outcomes:

 

As a school we are very focused on sustainability, conservation and reducing ANY form of waste. This would reflect our school wide enviro values perfectly. Our students would understand the importance of water sustainability and the benefits of water conservation. They are involved in this project and we have been teaching them about the importance of sustainability.  Our Enviro students will be ambassador for this cause and promote it further at home and in the community. 
We would be empowering our students to take action now and in the future.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Empower the community to take environmental action

 

We are trying to reduce our water consumption as a school. We have taught a number of topics on precious water, water is life and water conservation.   We have been involved with outside agencies to promote this further with our students; for example the Tread Lightly Caravan and Eye on Nature programmes. As a collective action our school community has decided we would like to try to reduce our water use. We are now running a very successful gardening / cooking programme (Garden to Table) and nurturing native trees (Trees for Survival) this has increased our school water use substantially.  We would like to counteract this by using rain water we collect.

Project: To complete the renovation of the shared changing rooms

Location:

Howick Squash Club & Cockle Bay Tennis Club, 41 Meadowland Drive, Somerville, Auckland

Summary:

We recently have undertaken renovation of our main changing rooms due to damage.
The club has spent over $40,000 over the last 6 months in replacing vinyls, bathroomware, partitions and painting etc.
However we still have areas that need to be completed to finish the project that was put on hold due to COVID hitting us and having to put memberships on pause (upt to 3 months). Also other income is down for the year therefore some maintenance items have been deferred. We are also accumulating a fund for extra development of our facility as we do not have enough courts to cater for school and community requests. This fund has been built up over the last 15 years.

Professional tradespeople will be contracted to carry out the project to ensure the project is completed at a sustainable standard.

The work undertaken and time spent by the co-ordinator, both paid and volunteered, maintains our support of our businesses and organisations during their Covid recovery, improves collaboration opportunities, and 
informs visitors and locals of the region's assets and new experiences in their back yard.  More people 
experiencing our region ultimately benefits the local economy and helps our businesses through their 
Covid recovery.  Keeping our region vibrant and our businesses and organisations viable is essential
for our region to grow and prosper.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Support local business recovery from impact of COVID-19

 

Our Howick Priorities stretch across three of those listed, with supporting local business
recovery from impact of Covid 19, enable people to engage with local history, and share their diverse cultures; 
and also support local arts, culture, music and heritage activities and experiences being forefront in our activities.   
This project will ensure our co-ordinator is reasonably compensated for the time and effort
devoted to the organisation to better achieve our purpose.  This maintains previous compensation
for the next 6 months - first half of the new financial year July - December 2022.  This goes some way to 
reward our coordinator for the number of hours devoted to the organisation.

Project: East Auckland Art Trail Light Activation

Location:

Howick Village

Summary:

Add a new dimension to East Auckland Art Trail, East Auckland's main activity through Elemental, with a light activation in Fencible Park.  By initiating this small light activation it gives the opportunity for it to grow each year and become a main attraction in its own right.  By being free and part of the Art Trail thereby enjoying additional exposure to Howick and East Auckland through wider Elemental marketing campaign. There is good potential for local eateries to piggyback on this activation to attract additional/new customers - good for Covid 19 recovery.  Creating a nighttime Howick event builds potential to expand in future years - beneficial for the Village, its businesses and East Auckland as a whole.

Expertise:

In 2021 we introduced the East Auckland Art Trail and engaged with 10 East Auckland galleries/organisations and artists to develop something new and different in order to provide an event for Elemental.  Each gallery/organisation reported their successful or perceived success through increased interest and visitor numbers as a result, and will be involved again in our Art Trail this year.

Dates:

21/07/2022 - 23/07/2022

% of participants from Local Board

Promotion:

Social Media and Website Event promotion will take place to provide exposure to the wider community.  Auckland Council's Elemental promotion will also include this Lighting Activation as a separate "event" within the East Auckland Art Trail which has the potential to reach visitors/eatery customers Auckland Wide including any tourists in the city/region at the time.  
Support of this project by Howick Local Board will be acknowledged on our website Events and Timeline.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

By creating a new activation in Howick Village
. families can enjoy the lights and a brief sojourn into Art out East in Fencible Park by watching a short "art" video screening
. provide locals with a pleasant experience in our local Village
. encourage non-locals to visit Howick
. provide opportunity for local eateries to attract new/additional customers to their premises 
 
.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Support local arts, culture, music and heritage activities and experiences

 

By adding a new dimension to the East Auckland Art Trail in its second year

 

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes- Fencible Park is accessible from the Picton Street pavement as well as from the Fencible Lounge/Library car park

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

The lighting activation is outdoors so getting people walking in Howick Village and visiting Fencible Park in the fresh air while enjoying the lights and engaging in viewing a brief Art video.  An added benefit be some mental relief and discussion by visitors at the end of the day, and something different for children during the school holidays.  Art is well known to be extremely valuable as a stress reliever and a fantastic way to provide a break from day to day issues.  By promoting art it could encourage more to engage in artistic pursuits with great benefits to the community.

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

Without funding it's unlikely EAT can initiate what we believe is an exciting first venture into an evening Lighting Activation.  Being included as part of East Auckland Art Trail and a Village evening event has huge potential to be built on in future years meaning early support could develop this activation to being a larger Auckland event bringing in more people - good for the Village and East Auckland region as a whole.  Developing it could attract future sponsors and income-generating opportunities.

Project: Howick Village CCTV Maintenance and Upgrade  2022

Location:

Howick Village

Summary:

The replacement of four legacy CCTV day/night cameras and upgrade and maintenance of the remaining infrastructure is required for the continued operation of the CCTV network. Critical replacement of initial equipment is required before failure occurs with maintenance of remaining CCTV equipment required to keep the system operational.

Expertise:

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The community and our businesses benefit from the security of the CCTV network being fully operational and is a direct link to NZ Police for their action and surveillance. The ANPR camera sends automated alerts to the Police on a daily basis of stolen vehicles and provides valuable lines of enquiries for offending that would otherwise remain unsolved. Following a recent spike of criminal activity in the Village over the past months, it is vital for our community that these cameras are fully operational to act as a deterrent for potential offending.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     People are safe with access to services to support their wellbeing

 

Our current CCTV surveillance provides security for our community and businesses in Howick Village. This is a necessity to ensure our community and businesses feel themselves and their property are safe and secure when in the Village. Since the establishment of the CCTV network in 2014 in a collaboration between HVA and Howick Local Board, the camera's have been instrumental in providing evidence to Police and Customs on offending and their continued operation is beneficial to the residents of Howick.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The local community benefits by having children/youth actively engaged in learning a craft that requires means and physical discipline and enhances learning skills. 
 
This assists in having an awareness for social issues and creates a confidence in the students' participation in the local community. There is increased confidence in joining in local ventures apart from theatre skills.
 
At the final dress rehearsal we will be inviting children from Decile One schools to attend the show as part of creating the opportunity to experience live theatre. 
 
Whanau values and respect are placed very highly on CMTS's profile of learning. As East/South Auckland is very much a multi-cultured society we encourage the whole family to assist with different areas of the production and not only cover all ethnic groups but also children with disability. No child is turned away because of learning or physical disabilities.
 
Each year we award one or two children worthy of encouragement and because of their skills a scholarship to enable he/she to attend other classes within the studio.

We have made application a number of times in the past unsuccessfully and would love to be considered in this round as we are committed to producing and giving the children/youth their time on stage. Given the unusual circumstances the world finds itself in, we would find the funding extremely helpful to produce this show without hardship.

enrolling some new dancers, we will surely not enroll smokers even if she dances well. We
would ask her to quit smoking before we would ever enroll her. We make no waste from our activities, we drink water or tea,. We have routine warm-ups to avoid injury and to keep fit by dancing.

Under gloomy situation of Coveid-19, we tried very hard to find ourselves surviving and even more active by web shows, both domestically and globally. As we believe that the normal life without Covid-19 will come back to us by this summer, we will contribute more dances for the communities and our beautiful New Zealand. We hope our board will continue to support us financially and help us to get more chances for local performance and  and competitions.

* club members and members of the wider community with underlying health conditions feel more comfortable/confident participating in club and community events, enhancing both their physical health and wellbeing
* first aid support can be administered more quickly and more comprehensively, reducing the chance of injuries escalating/becoming more serious
* parents feel more confident allowing their children to participate in events and activities knowing that high quality first aid equipment and supplies are readily available
* less stress on team managers/coaches worrying about whether they have all the appropriate first aid supplies they need when travelling as all supplies are in one place and pre-packed; less chance of critical first aid items being forgotten
* first aid backpack is easy to carry, thereby increasing the chances that team managers/coaches will be willing to travel with it.

Alignment with local board priorities:

The defibrillator and portable trauma/first aid back packs will ensure the health of all club members and the wider community who use the club's facilities by allowing health and safety incidents to be responded to quickly, appropriately and comprehensively.  This will contribute to a more appealing offer for athletes and their families to pursue sport and recreation. Being able to provide first aid support to athletes taking part in activities and events typically means that they are more willing and confident to participate, particularly if they have underlying health conditions.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Which community does not love dance & music? Which community does not like to be fit?
Most of the dance/fitness classes are paid. Not everyone can afford
these classes but our communities deserve to be fit. People of diverse cultures need to
come together and collaborate on a common platform. We provide that platform. There
are young people out there who have not started working and there are elderly people who
have stopped working and hence are short of funds. They should not be denied of fun and
fitness. They deserve to be happy, healthy and enjoy life. Hence, we feel there is a strong
need for the FREE Dance/Fitness classes
We are proud of the fact that we provide a free and valuable platform to the
people of all communities, cultures and ages. 'The Dancing Wonders' envisages a fit and
healthy society where people come together to learn and enjoy dance. At the same time,
they work towards better health. The expected outcomes are better health, fitness,
learning of new skills of dance, integration of diverse cultures and communities.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Sports and recreational opportunities respond to the needs of our communities

 

We are offering free dance classes for our communities. People of all ages,
cultures and languages benefit from it. This is celebration of life through dance &
music. People will learn new dance moves. They benefit in terms of better health,
collaboration with diverse cultures and community engagement. Culture and health are our
priorities and through our fun-filled dance/fitness classes, we promote both.
Our project 'The Dancing Wonders' was quite popular with our communities. We need help to keep this project
sustained for a long time; particularly owing to the fact that our communities enjoy these
classes.

Te Tuhi Contemporary Art Trust

Legal status:

Incorporated Society, Charitable Trust

Activity focus:

Community

Conflicts of interest:

None identified

Project: Pātaka kai project

Location:

Te Tuhi 13 Reeves Road, Pakuranga, 2010

Summary:

At Te Tuhi, Tāmaki Makaurau-based artists Cindy Huang and Ashleigh Taupaki will deliver a collaborative wānanga (workshop) with the local community. These workshops will give 180 young participants an opportunity to meet, learn and make a clay food item of their culture(s), with the practicing artists. The outcome will be an interactive and evolving art installation resembling a Pātaka kai (community pantry). Over the duration of the installation, members of the public (and their families) will be encouraged to make their own artwork, adding to the installation, as well as bringing/providing a low-cost, long-life food item that will be donated at the end of the exhibition.

Expertise:

Te Tuhi delivers a strong programme of community engagement through its education programmes, community classes and events programme, providing accessibility throughout. Key staff involved in the project will be Te Tuhi’s educator Briana Woolliams who will work with practicing artists Cindy Huang and Ashleigh Taupaki. Briana will facilitate the project to the community and the coordination of it. Creative Community Manager Ashley Grogan will assist with additional management.

Promotion:

Promotion of this project will be done through social media, the local  board will be acknowledged in all social media posts and stories. The local paper will be approached and any story will acknowledge the local board for their support. The signage accompanying the installation will also publicly thank the local board for their support.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

This project is about placemaking in East Auckland, where the community come together through the commonplace or universality of food. We believe this will be demonstrated throughout the numerous opportunities for collaboration.  
 
By learning about the cultural connections between Taupaki (Māori/Sāmoan) and Huang (Chinese), young participants can draw from and find other cultural connections with their peers. When the work is installed, the wider public will be able to do the same and draw connections between cultures.  
 
It is a community pantry created by the community, for the community and asks the public to continue participating. ‘Pātaka kai’ provides an opportunity for the community to become the artist, activating a public space that is currently unused. 
 
Activating this space, with the communities' artworks, will create a strong sense of pride and place. Not only does it acknowledge the ethnic diversity of the area, but it welcomes and celebrates it. We believe this growing installation will deepen cross-cultural understandings tied to the Howick Local Board area.  
 
We want lasting effects beyond the concept of artmaking, by providing real food to those communities in need. Not only does this project become symbolic, but it works to enhance the well-being of our community.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Support local arts, culture, music and heritage activities and experiences

 

‘Pātaka kai’ provides members of the public with the opportunity to participate in a community art project. By providing free workshops, the public will be able to represent their culture and heritage through the artwork they create. While the artwork is on display, continued participation will be encouraged for all, allowing the wider community to add to the installation. By activating an unused space at Te Tuhi, the growing art installation will create a sense of belonging for the community.

Promotion:

Publicity for the Toy Library is primarily done through word of mouth and facebook to connect with our members and wider community. In addition this year we are intending to utilise Auckland Council’s community notice boards, to participate in community events and to work with local playgroups, Plunket and early childhood centres to introduce more families to the benefits of the Toy Library.
We will acknowledge the Local Board contribution with a tagged facebook post, website and newsletter mentions. We have and will continue to display a wonderful thank you sign up in our Library so all our members coming in will know who helped us continue to operate.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The main benefit of any toy library is highlighting the value of play. Globally  evidence supports the value of play  from both an educational and a health perspective.
Play is noted by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 31, play is recognized to contribute to children's development, health and wellbeing.
Another benefit is economic - the Howick Pakuranga Toy Library provides the opportunity to hire instead of purchasing toys. This helps family/whanau who could not otherwise afford to offer their tamariki toys, whilst minimizing the impact on the environment. The  toy library has a strong environmental focus, of reduce, reuse and recycle. We repair where we can and replace parts when we can not.
The Toy Library serves children and their families in East Auckland by ensuring a variety of age appropriate toys and the educational opportunities they bring, therefore, ensuring that all children have access to age appropriate play experiences.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     People actively contribute to their community

 

Howick and Pakuranga Toy Library is operated by a committee of volunteers and we also have members who help out on a voluntary basis. Through the toy library, children learn about the nature of citizenship and of being part of their community. This is through attending the library to choose toys, seeing their families volunteer at the library, and through learning to share, take turns and take care of communal toys.  We encourage our members to volunteer but do not enforce it. We aim to provide a friendly, warm and welcoming place for families to come.  For parents who have been out of the workforce this can be a helpful step into the next phase of getting back to employment and/or contributing to their local community. For families who are new to Howick or to New Zealand this provides an opportunity to get to know and be involved in their new community. 
 
The toy library gives families the opportunity to hire instead of purchasing toys, thus enabling families who cannot afford to do so, giving more opportunities for families to experience toys which they might not usually want permanently in their own homes such as large outdoor toys.
 
Sustainability has always been a huge focus for Toy Libraries, and increasingly so as more people are becoming aware of the important environmental concerns. Cheap, plastic toys are so accessible these days but they are not good for the environment. They tend to be over packaged, used sparingly, break and then are then discarded to landfill. We purchase good quality toys, often secondhand, or wooden, which last the test of time and are able to be used by many families over and over again. We have a repair and replacement parts policy to ensure toys can be used if parts are damaged/lost. When the toy is at the end of their life, it is removed from hire and sold on our sale table. We reuse and recycle the office resources. This avoids and reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill and the pressure on raw materials and production. This also models this environmentally conscious behaviour to children, and our zero waste goal.   
 
The toy library provides for children's large range of interests in different cultures, music and sports with our large range of diverse toys from puzzles depicting a waka, to wooden shelters of the world block sets to Japanese/Chinese food sets and a coconut thumb piano.   
 
Supporting play is the foundation of learning for children, research continues to endorse the benefits of play and play based learning. In our roles with the toy library we have the opportunity to advocate and teach families about the crucial learning involved in play and the life long benefits play has. Play develops healthy happy children, who as confident learners grow to be active participants of their community.

Māori outcomes:

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

I myself identify as Maori and volunteer many hours of my time applying for grants to ensure the smooth running of the organization.  
The Library was recently lucky enough to receive a grant which enabled us to purchase many cultural toys including Maori, Asia and Pacifica themes and language based toys.  These include puzzles, te reo counting and colours a toy waka, whare and rakau sticks.   Our new location also showcases our new signage which is blingual (English and Maori).

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes- Our Toy Library is located on the ground floor a very small distance from our car park even
large wheel chairs have access.  Our toys are suitable for children with a range of abilities, hiring toys at the right stage
for the learning abilities of children is a real benefit for parents and carers of children with
disabilities as well as the benefits of play for this children themselves.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

"Hire don’t buy" is a toy library motto.  Hired toys are a sustainable resource, reducing unwanted toys played with for a short time and then discarded to landfill. Each hire toy is used to its maximum potential through being a shared resource.
The toy library also accept donations or swap pieces with other toy Libraries thus preventing even more going to landfill as old toys are often used to replace broken/missing pieces to give our toys an even longer life.
 
Promoting active play in kids -
The toy Library has a range of large and small outdoor toys including bikes, rockers, trampolines, scooters and slides these encourage tamariki to move their bodies and be active and to learn and refine fine motor skills and co-ordination.  We also have several sensory and mobility impaired members who benefit from the wider range of different toys the library provides.

Nominal artist fees for time, materials and recognition or worth 
We want to offer each of the 40 chosen artists $400 each. They would also be contributing towards the project as this is not an 'hourly' rate. Marketing and advertising this project will be an integral part of it's success from gaining a wide range of artists to input and getting community involvement throughout the project. This is a different art project for Howick.

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

The amount we have considered for each artist will allow us to communicate and encourage a range of artists from different backgrounds to input into this project. The per artist amount could be reduced but the amount in this application would not cover an artists time for design, materials and painting. Artists are generally undervalued and this nominal fee is a recognition of worth.

Project: 9 Week Programme

Location:

The 9 week programmes are held at local colleges: Pakuranga College, Howick College, Edg ewater College and Botany Downs Secondary College

Summary:

280 students, in four local East Auckland colleges, participate in small groups which
participate in a life skills programme focused on self-worth/identity, exploring significance,
resilience and courage.
Students are given the tools to develop peer support and positive coping skills. Participants
are equipped to pursue their education at a greater level (goal setting, vision/planning
independence, confidence building and tools to succeed.)
We enable students to become equipped in areas of emotional and mental health, goals and
time management, interpersonal relationships (peers, teachers, employment supervisors,
etc.), and to overcome challenges and barriers they currently/will encounter.
Post programme follow-up and support is provided through the in-schools youth work
initiative.

Expertise:

For 21 years, the YLNZ Trust has delivered youth development services in Howick Ward schools/community. Each youth worker who will facilitate the project has a certificate in
Youth Work Practice covering Ethics, Youth Development, Mentoring, Leading Groups, RAMS, Treaty of Waitangi. They are trained in delivering the specific programme under the oversight of each school's Guidance Counsellors. The youth workers have ongoing training in youth development. The YLNZ Trust has established formal agreements with these schools and already deliver a long-term youth work service for the schools. The youth workers are the logical choice to deliver this nine week programme as they are equipped, vetted and resourced to provide the ongoing follow up as required.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The community benefits of this programme are:
Identifying and empowering youth who have extraordinary challenges to improve positive coping skills, making positive choices, improve self-worth, improved inter-relational skills with peers and adults, and increased participation in positive co-curricular activities, sports, etc.
Enable youth to achieve improved time management skills and confidence to contribute to increased class attendance, class performance and increased participation with other services offered in the school (such as ongoing one to one mentoring).
Contributing to positive youth development in the Howick Ward to achieve a decrease in destructive and negative behaviour, substance abuse, self-harm, suicide, bullying, standdowns and expulsions.
Currently we are seeing higher levels of youth accessing our facilities recently with events unfolding around Covid-19, immigration issues, and anxiety from household rising living costs.
The world is shifting, the immediate future is unclear and uncertain. The one thing that is clear - people always need access to others to support them through tough times, now more then ever this is proving important to be able to adapt and support our rangatahi.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Rangatahi /Youth in Howick have a voice, are valued, and contribute

 

Rangatahi in our community are supported in a way that will allow them to contribute in a positive way in the community.
They will gain positive coping skills and increased confidence, will be empowered to build support systems, improve self-care, and have access to regular and on-going positive adult mentoring. This 9 week programme supports the youth in areas where they feel comfortable connecting with other peers and mentors.
The 2015 Howick Local Board Youth Research Project surveyed college students (ages 13 –18) at our local schools, asking what support is most needed for youth in our community:
- 44% need help with depression, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, negative coping
behaviours
- 59% say that school causes significant stress in their life.
- 60% say they need help with job experience and preparation
- 31% say they need tutoring and study assistance
- 44% are worried about their future
 
The Nine week programme is carried out in 4 schools by the specialist trained youth workers who then continue to follow-up each week with the students from the programme throughout the year. This enables opportunities for youth to develop positive mental health, self-worth, leadership possibilities, access to employment skills, increased involvement in out of school activities such as sports, arts, and volunteer community service. Early initiatives reduce future community intervention costs.

Project: Supporting Howick youth in a COVID world

Location:

Youthline Manukau 145 St George St, Papatoetoe, Auckland

Summary:

We are requesting $7,500 as a contribution to the Howick share of $10,499 of the annual budgeted costs of $122,824 for training our volunteer counsellors who staff the Youthline Helpline in support of the young people of Howick.   
We train over 100 volunteer counsellors each year and they are essential to being able to operate the Helpline. New volunteers undertake a 5 stage comprehensive training programme in their first year that covers personal development, basic youth and community counselling training, a 2-day Marae Noho wānanga at Te Puea Marae, transition training and ongoing supervision.

Expertise:

Youthline has been supporting young people in need for over 50 years and we have considerable expertise in providing this support.
We have built up significant knowledge and experience over this period such that we are recognised as the premier support service for young people in need. Our 200 Helpline volunteer counsellors receive intensive training and close supervision.
Colmar Brunton research (2021) shows that over 76% of young people in New Zealand are aware of Youthline. Last year we managed over 127,000 contacts to our Helpline and worked with 16,432 individual young people.
 
In the last evaluation of the Helpline undertaken, 84.9% of respondents felt helped by the service with 90.3% being satisfied or very satisfied.

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.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

For many of the 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 – disadvantaged, disillusioned, disengaged - and their situation is exacerbated under COVID-19.
Our Helpline is staffed by 200 volunteers who processed 127,000 contacts from young people in need last year. They are only able to do this vital work because they receive comprehensive training and support. Under COVID-19 and as an essential service these roles are even more important so that we can avoid the long term effects of the traumatising nature of the pandemic.  
Last year 3,875 young people from Howick needed our help with COVID-19 producing greater stress and distress for our rangatahi.
We have to be able to provide the best possible support for young people in need and we do this best when we have a well trained and managed team of volunteers and support staff.  
The community benefits when we are able to support these young people through their period of distress and emerge with a positive plan for the future and can help build a resilient community. This is particularly so under COVID-19.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Rangatahi /Youth in Howick have a voice, are valued, and contribute

 

Youthline is well known as “the number one place for young people to reach out to for support” with 17% of young people contacting us for support. 76% of young people are aware of Youthline alone (Colmar Brunton 2021). We have been supporting young people and working with communities for over 50 years. We are a “with youth, for youth” organisation and the first point of contact for many young people accessing youth development and support services across Aotearoa New Zealand. We are a respected and trusted frontline service that has changed the lives of many people who have reached out in their time of need. 
The Youthline Helpline is at the heart of our mahi. Young people in need who contact us  through our Helpline often feel lonely, alone, disengaged and desperate. They often have a reduced sense of belonging to family, school or community.
We aim to ensure that the young people we work with have clear pathways from school to work. And we aim to engender a sense of belonging to their family, school and the community in which they live. In supporting these young people Youthline is very much committed to promoting healthy, safe, sustainable and active lifestyles.
COVID-19 has had a profound affect on the youth of Aotearoa. There has never been a more important time to create a sense of belonging, connection and community. 
The pandemic has increased the demand for our services to a significant degree and placed additional pressure on our already stretched resources. 
The stress and anxiety that young people felt as a result of COVID-19 since March 2020 remains for many as an underlying condition requiring great care in working with our rangatahi.
Further, just as the pandemic itself has been described as having a long tail, we know from research and experience that the pandemic will have a long mental health tail and the ongoing need for counselling services will also have long tail. 
The August 2021 lockdown was a salutary reminder that COVID is ever-present, highly contagious and can strike at any time particularly in its Delta and more recently in its Omicron form. And that our rangatahi are particularly vulnerable to the distress that the pandemic causes.
In essence, for our young people there has been no relief from the stresses and strains of COVID for 2 years. 
In research undertaken in 2021 83% of young people said mental health issues, including suicide, are the biggest problem facing youth (Colmar Brunton 2021). This follows a 2020 Youthline online survey with 975 young people and their families where more than 72% of respondents shared that COVID-19 and lockdown have impacted their mental health with young people under 25 more likely to share this than older groups.
Youthline supports these young people, acknowledges their issues and is inclusive with a strengths-based, person-centred approach. We very much aim to build engagement and resiliency for young people and and support them in transitioning to adulthood.  
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. 
Our experienced youth worker teams provide individual support, mentoring, development and leadership opportunities to vulnerable youth throughout the Auckland region.
For many, connecting with Youthline provides a pathway to a range of personal development and life skills programmes offered by our team including personal development, job skills (e.g. barista training, CV writing and job applications) and learner licence training. All designed to better equip young people to be healthy and 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.
In terms of our services going forward we know that:
1.  There will continue to be a high demand for support coloured by the impact of COVID-19.
2.  We will need to maintain volunteer numbers for our Helpline service at as higher a level as possible to cope with the demand and increased complexity 
3.  The need for comprehensive training and triage support for our volunteers will be paramount
4.   Our youth worker teams will continue to have a large number of vulnerable young people to work with requiring significant levels of programme resources.
5.  Our volunteer and face-to-face counsellors will have a high need for supervision that in particular acknowledges the unique stresses and strains engendered by the pandemic

 

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. In our last reporting period 16% of calls and texts to our Helpline presented as Māori, slightly ahead of the 14% of young people aged 15-24 residing in the Auckland area who identify as Māori. For mentoring and counselling, 15% of young people identify as Māori.  
 
All of our staff and volunteers are trained on the Treaty of Waitangi. Māori models of health such as Te Whare Tapa Wha inform our work with targets groups of rangatahi Māori. Youthline has a Māori working group (Nga Whetu Poutama) to guide Youthline to increase the organisation’s cultural capacity and inform the work that we do.

Youthline Auckland supports the Auckland Council’s Smokefree Policy and its commitment to working proactively with others towards making Auckland smokefree by 2025.  We have a smoke free policy in place and can offer support, advice and referrals to young people who wish to give up smoking. We ensure that the young people we work with are aware of our support for making Auckland smokefree and how we can help them if necessary.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$7500.00

Requesting grant for:

We are requesting $7,500 as a contribution to the Howick share of $10,499 of the annual budgeted costs of $122,824 for training the Youthline Helpline volunteers who support the young people of the area.
Two years after the first lockdown, the stress and anxiety that young people felt as a result of COVID-19 remains for many as an underlying condition. This has been exacerbated by the current restrictions and Omicron outbreak. We expect 2022 will be as challenging as the last 2 years in terms of helping young people manage the stresses and strains of a COVID world.

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

We would not amend our plan as such. Rather we would continue being extremely proactive in applying for funding from a wide range of funders. The total cost of the Youthline Helpline will be $1.5m this year. We receive funding of $90,000 from an Oranga Tamariki contract meaning we have to fundraise over $1.4m each and every year.   
 
Under COVID many of our funders have a reduced capacity to provide funding. At a time when young people need our service more than ever we are hugely dependent on those organisations who can provide funding.

Additional information to support the application:

We are very appreciative of the previous support of the local board and would be very grateful if the board was able to contribute this time round to the cost of training and supervising our essential volunteer Helpline counsellors who, under COVID-19, are supporting a record number of young people experiencing mental distress and hardship of an unprecedented nature. As an essential service it is vital that we are able to keep the Helpline fully operational. The training, supporting, supervising and management of our volunteer counsellors is an absolute priority.

None identified Age Concern Auckland Chair, Victoria Walker, is an Auckland Council Employee.

Project: Support Services for Elderly Asian People

Location:

Various venues

Summary:

Age Concern Auckland’s dedicated Asian Services have a positive impact on the clients we work with and are instrumental in preventing the decline of an older person’s quality of life. It is critical that as a society, we look after all older members of our community and provide services that enable participation in communities by eliminating language and cultural barriers. Elderly migrants are often the silent and forgotten minority that we need to reach through the provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate social services, which is the overarching objective of the Age Concern Auckland Asian Service.which delivers support and services in Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and Japanese.

Expertise:

Age Concern Auckland has been delivering services across Auckland since 1949.it is our area of expertise. We have offered dedicated Chinese services and activities for the past 5 years, Korean services for the past year and Japanese services were introduced earlier this year.

Promotion:

We would acknowledge the local board contribution via our annual report, website, social media, wechat, in our member newsletter (distributed to 8,000) and on any relevant promotional materials.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The community benefits of our project are that Older Chinese, Korean and Japanese people have:
-access to health promotion talks and activities that support them to stay independent and healthy for longer
-the opportunity to participate in social activities and reduce loneliness and isolation
-social work support to address elder abuse and/or neglect
-social work support to address social and health issues
-counselling support to address issues related to ageing
-matching with a volunteer to visit to address loneliness and isolation
-access to conversational English Classes to help participants communicate more widely in their community
 
All of these benefits made a significant difference to older migrants trying to access support and services in our commmunity.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Howick

·     People are safe with access to services to support their wellbeing

Ageing brings with it additional challenges this can include a loss of independence, deteriorating physical and mental well-being, loneliness and isolation. Older people in our community who have strong support networks are able to meet these challenges head on but for those without these support networks the situation is different. Elderly migrants fit into this category, they are often a silent and forgotten minority who spend long period of time at home, shut off from the community. It is critical that as a community, we look
after all our older community members and provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services that support their mental and physicall well-being. Age Concern Auckland's Asian Services do this through the culturally and linguistically appropriate activities, services and support they provide.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$30000.00

Requesting grant for:

The costs associated with our service are mainly people costs. We have a small team of 6 part-time staff that work within this service. The staff speak different languages so that we can deliver support in Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and Japanese.  These staff also will translate material into these languages if the information is not available. We are asking for support for the crucial salary cost of these staff. We are also asking for support with Meeting/Catering costs, Event Costs, Room/Equipment Hire, Volunteer Expenses and core overheads (utilities/IT/phone). All the costs requested are essential to the delivery of the service.

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

The costs we are requesting funding for are essential to the delivery fo this service. We employ the minimum number of staff to deliver this support and utilise volunteers whenever we can, however the specialised social work needs to be provided by specialised and qualified staff. We have shared our request across the local boards where the service is delivered. If the application was not fully funded we would look to apply to other contestable community funding sources and the wider community to help fund this essential service, which comes at no cost to the older adults needing it.

Project: Assistance Dogs' Client Support and Waitlist Reduction

Location:

Auckland-wide

Summary:

We want to enrich the lives of New Zealander's living with a disability by providing purpose-bred and trained Assistance Dogs with government-granted public rights access. Our services will increase our client's independence, build their resilience, strengthen their family unit and support network, and give them new access to education, employment, community facilities and other opportunities that were previously inaccessible to them. Therefore we expect to contribute to the increase in awareness, acceptance and inclusion of diverse disabilities within our communities. 37% of our graduated teams are in communities throughout Auckland, as are 33% of our waitlist. We require funding support to train new dogs to meet the needs of the disabled community and support and strengthen existing teams.

Expertise:

- We were founded in 2008 and have been succesfully delivering our service since 
- We are internationally accredited by Assistance Dogs International, which involves a rigorous and in-depth review of our entire organisation every 5 years 
- We are 1 of only 7 organisations with NZ government-granted public rights access
- We have 40 successfully graduated teams in communities throughout NZ, as well as a growing number of retired teams who have already reaped the benefits of our programme 
- Staff are qualified service dog trainers and instructors

A public acknowledgement of this contribution would be made across all our own channels, and a logo would be listed on our website supporter page. Additionally, we would be more than happy to visit representatives or the council office with a dog for a photo opportunity to cross-promote.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

- Greater accessibility for individuals and families with disabilities to their community, events, recreational activities and facilities.
- Life-changing opportunities for families to operate as a strong, single unit where they couldn't before. In many cases, families had never been able to go to the supermarket or an event together, something many of us take for granted.
- Clients are able to participate and engage with their community, giving them a greater sense of belonging.
- Increased diversity within our communities from the inclusion and participation of our clients.
- Increased opportunities to educate the wider public on the needs of our clients, through the visibility of our graduated teams and our training programes, resulting in greater acceptance of differences.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Howick

·     People are safe with access to services to support their wellbeing

Living with a disability can be challenging and often isolating. Everyday situations such as a trip to the local shop or a walk in the park can be difficult and overwhelming for some of our clients. Assistance Dogs are trained to perform several tasks that help to support their clients (child or adult) which in turn can help make these day-to-day experiences more achievable. This often enables the wider family to integrate into their community and even enjoy outings together which they have previously been unable to do. Over time, clients and their families participate and become more involved in their community which can lead to an increased level of mobility and independence for the client. 
 
Many of our formal training dogs are trained in the Howick region, and as a result, our visibility and applicant numbers are high. We have clients on our waitlist for a dog in the Howick region, as well as clients waiting to be interviewed and assessed. We are seeking funding to support the development of our training dogs, which will either result in one of these clients being matched with an Assistance Dog this year, or they will move up the waitlist. Each of our clients required support from our staff as they wait, through interviews/assessment and a long matching programme, ensuring their eventual dog will be the right fit for their needs. Costs associated include our puppy development supervisor based in this region, as well as our client instructors, vet bills, equipment and upkeep of our accreditation. 
 
We are aligned with this priority by:
- Over 70% of our clients are children with autism. Without an assistance dog, these clients are unsafe in their own communities, as they often run from their parents in high-stress situations. In some cases, clients have reported their children running towards roads, approaching strangers and other distressing situations before receiving their dog. In this instance, our Assistance Dogs would be paired with a client and use a tether-harness to allow parents to go out with their child and not have to constantly hold their hand, restrain them or worry for their safety. Our dogs will anchor the child if they try to run, and provide a safe guide for our children to cope with new situations and environments. 
- They increase the visibility of community members with varying disabilities, alerting community members to their needs. 
- They provide a life-changing tool for these individuals and families to be able to join local events, activities and use facilities that they could not otherwise access
- They increase the resilience and confidence of our disabled community members, allowing them to form relationships and support networks within our community.
- They provide opportunities for further education and employment opportunities, allowing a more diverse group to contribute to the community

Financial information

Amount requested:

$24000.00

Requesting grant for:

Split between the regions based, funds will be used to contribute to the overall development, training and qualification costs of our dogs, and assessment, support and management of existing teams. This is in the form of the salary of both our Puppy Training Supervisor and Client Instructor; both hands-on, vital roles that enable our programme to exist. The total cost of a dog, including breeding, development, training, qualification and support throughout their working life is $75,000. Funding would contribute to the support of 6 graduated teams and 12 clients on the waitlist over a 6 month period.

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

We will make applications to additional funding boards, or create a campaign targeted towards our existing donors for additional support. However, this would take away from other planned campaigns and we would have to increase other activities further down the line.

Additional information to support the application:

Our goal is to increase operational funding and brand awareness through 2022-2025 in order to double our output to better meet the needs of the community. Funding will not only support current clients, but will also contribute to the long-term accessibility of our service. Operating costs (including salaries for crucial roles) are by far the most useful way for our organisation to address our waitlist, graduate more dogs and meet the growing needs of the disability sector in Aotearoa.

Bellyful New Zealand Trust

Legal status:

Incorporated Society, Charitable Trust

Activity focus:

Conflicts of interest:

Project: Nourishing and connecting communities in Auckland

Location:

Community Kitchens across Auckland - St Patrick's Catholic Church (Pukekohe), Salvation Army (Howick), Stoney Homestead (Millwater), Eden Community Church (Mt Eden) and Te Atatu Peninsula Bible Chapel (Te Atatu).

Summary:

Bellyful volunteers cook, freeze and deliver meals in 25 communities across Aotearoa, 6 of these are in Auckland. Expanding our operation to South Auckland is a priority, but this mahi aroha needs funding and volunteers to be successful. Funding our volunteers to support new and existing communities, while they, like everyone across the motu, are struggling through the current COVID wave, will enable us to support the wellbeing and resilience of communities in Auckland.

Expertise:

Bellyful New Zealand (BFNZ) has a small team of 5 part-time paid staff (2.2 FTE) and a volunteer board of trustees who support over 500 volunteers across the motu. In the last 2 years we have opened 2 new branches, in remote locations (Whitianga March 2020 and New Plymouth October 2021), both in the middle of a global pandemic. Our team (both paid and volunteer) work together to spread our message of kindness, and working to support communities across Tamaki Makaurau will be no different. Two of our BFNZ team are based in the city, Jacqui Stanford (acting General Manager and Communications Adviser) in Helensville and Sally Warrender (Grants Administrator and volunteer Branch Coordinator for Franklin) in Pukekohe.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Bellyful nourishes and connects communities by cooking and delivering meals to whānau with babies or young children, who need support. We provide free, nutritious, child friendly meals for the whole whānau, regardless of their size. The only limitation to our service is whether whānau reside in our delivery areas. These areas are constrained by volunteers and funding. Bellyful has been supporting communities for 13 years, having delivered over 180,000 meals to more than 34,000 whānau in this time. But we can do more, much more. Liaising with the Neonatal Unit at Middlemore Hospital is the first step in this process. By providing meals to this unit, we can connect into networks in South Auckland. While we do this, we can support our existing branch volunteers with funding for meal production (including ingredients, packaging, cooking and operational equipment), and volunteer support (e.g., petrol vouchers, morning tea etc). Volunteering and supporting your community has been shown to benefit personally and professionally. Our volunteers tell us that they feel valued as a volunteer, that supporting whānau in their communities provides a sense of purpose, improves personal wellbeing and connection. Many take on leadership, operational and/or administrative roles which improve professional outcomes.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Howick

·     People actively contribute to their community

Bellyful nourishes and connects communities by cooking and delivering free meals to whānau with babies or young children, who need support. We delivered over 24,000 meals to over 4500 whānau in 2021. This is astounding considering that our Auckland branches were closed from August to December because of the COVID outbreak. A new baby in the whānau is exciting, but can also be exhausting, stressful and isolating in the best of times.  Extra stressors on the whānau such as illness (e.g., post-natal depression, premature babies, illness) and the lack of a good support network compound this stress.  Post Covid, many whānau are isolated further from their support networks as travel, even locally, has become more difficult or not advised.  In these situations, support from their local community can help whānau through the tough times. Anyone can refer a whānau to Bellyful (with their permission) via our website or by phoning the branch directly. There is no financial criteria to access our free service, we understand that young children can be challenging, for anyone. We get referrals from Plunket, midwives, neonatal units, social support agencies, friends/whānau and the whānau themselves. Volunteers deliver enough meals for the whole whānau, enough for 2-3 dinners.  
 
Regardless of how experienced you are at parenting, there are days when it is just hard. Having a volunteer knock on your door, delivering meals for your whole family can be life saving. Not having to think about dinner at manic o’clock was great.  But it's not just about the meals, it is the support that provides recipients with the confidence that they are not only ones finding parenting hard, the confidence that you are not alone and that it all will be ok. Even with contactless deliveries, a smiling (behind the mask) and friendly volunteer can be all you need to get through the tough times. It's this simple support that our volunteers provide which helps whānau become resilient so they can adapt to change. Our regular survey of recipients and referrers shows the impact that our service provides (see attached).  Our research tells us that over 95% of referrers find referring a family a simple process and over 95% state that Bellyful provides it service on an impartial, non-judgemental basis. We also know from our research that approximately 17% of whānau we deliver to identify as Māori, 9% as Asian, 6% as Pasifika & 11% as other ethnic groups.  We are constantly looking at ways we can increase our support into these priority groups.
 
Bellyful's volunteers live in the communities they support so are a vital part of how we operate. Across Auckland city our volunteers have continued to cook and deliver meals while the Covid Pandemic has continued around us. But volunteering comes at a cost, and with significant rises in the cost of living, Bellyful is looking for additional ways to support our volunteer teams. They have flexed their delivery techniques to contactless, to reduce the risk of spreading the virus. We continued to manage significant demand surges and reducing volunteer availability throughout 2021 (see attached graph). Bellyful works to train and nurture our volunteers so they can support their communities, and grow our reach into new communities, and within the communities we already support. We are already working with local support agencies, and are now extending this support to include the Neonatal unit at Middlemore, as well as our local Maternity Centre, where many new mums come after they have had their babies. Until there is a dedicated South Auckland branch, our Auckland teams will support the provision of meals to Middlemore.
Volunteering and supporting your community has been shown to provide personal and professional benefits. Our volunteers tell us that they feel valued as a volunteer, that supporting whānau in their communities provides a sense of purpose, improves personal wellbeing and connection. Many take on leadership, operational and/or administrative roles which improve professional outcomes. However, volunteering can come at a cost, with some volunteers unable to sustain rising costs (particularly in our delivery teams). We hope to adapt to these changing times, by continuing to support our volunteers, and encouraging them to accept financial support for costs such as petrol.
 
Each branch is operated and funded independently by local volunteers and supporters. Money raised locally supports whānau in our own communities. This aspect of Bellyful’s operation is distinct from many other nationally based charities, particularly for people wanting to make a difference in their community.  With ongoing uncertainty due to recent community transmission and gathering restrictions we continue to be unable to hold traditional fundraisers due to risks associated with cancellation costs, reduced sponsorship and patronage. Support for the costs associated with producing meals will take the strain off our volunteers, who can concentrate on the communities they support.

We use recycled and recyclable plastic containers which must be freezer stable and meet strict food safety guidelines for most of our meals. We encourage whānau to reuse and recycle containers as much as possible. Many last for significant periods after initial use, and can easily be washed before being recycled. 
We use (and hide) many vegetables in our meals, attempting to promote nutritious, but also child friendly options for whānau.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$46500.00

Requesting grant for:

We are requesting support for 5 of our 6 Auckland branches for meal production, volunteer support (e.g., petrol vouchers, training etc) and delivery costs (e.g., packaging, ingredients, brochures, design, cooking equipment, and branch telephones). We are experiencing significant cost increases while fundraising options are limited. 
We are requesting support to extend our service into the Neonatal Unit at Middlemore Hospital. Once established we will use Middlemore as a hub to start extending our support into South Auckland communities. We expect this area to need the support of at least 3 volunteer teams to keep up with anticipated demand.

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

We will set up support for the Middlemore Neonatal Unit regardless of this funding outcome. Expanding our service beyond the unit, to cover South Auckland is funding dependent. We need funding and volunteers to create new branches. We hope that by supporting the Middlemore unit we will inspire more interest in the community as people become aware of our free, no judgement service.
Our drive to support our branches and volunteers with support for meal production, volunteer and delivery costs will continue. Branches are finding it more difficult to attract volunteers and delivery costs (e.g., petrol) are one factor.

Project: Recruiting volunteer mentors for boys without fathers in their lives

Location:

31 George Street, Mount Eden, Auckland 1024 

Summary:

We will recruit, screen and train up to 50 more Auckland men as volunteer mentors (Big Buddies) for Auckland boys who do not have a dad in their lives. We will also continue to support the 320 active matches in Auckland. This will include telephone contact with
mentors and caregivers, as well as in-person support when/if required. The volunteers will commit up to 3 hours a week to spend time with the boys, promising to: show up, spend time and come back when they promised to.

Expertise:

We have been doing this work since 1998 and have matched more than 1000 boys with a mentor. Our robust and extensive screening process means we have never had any safety issues. Screening includes not only a police check, but a professional psychological screening and interviews with multiple referees to ensure the man is safe and suitable to beleft in sole charge of these vulnerable young boys.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Boys with a Big Buddy mentor in their lives are more confident and have better education outcomes. Caregivers consistently report their boys are better behaved and just happier.
Having a positive male role model in their lives teaches the boys what it means to be a good man. They grow up to be valuable members of the community, able to love and care for their own families and contribute to the well-being of others.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Howick

·     Rangatahi /Youth in Howick have a voice, are valued, and contribute

Funding will allow Big Buddy to help boys who do not have a father in their lives. Boys with a volunteer Big Buddy mentor in their lives are more confident and feel connected to their community. Because they feel more secure, they’re willing to try new things. Their caregivers regularly report improved behaviour, better results at school and say that their boys are just happier. Big Buddy works from a relationship-mentoring model. This means men who volunteer as Big Buddies do not try to‘fix’ Little Buddies. They simply stand alongside them and model positive male qualities.The most important thing a Big Buddy can do is ‘show up’ and be themselves. This regular contact and genuine interest in a boy's life proves to be a real anchor for him as he grows up.
This helps the boys grow into healthy members of society, able to be productive at work and when the time comes they will also be loving and positive husbands and parents.

Project: Healthy Homes Interventions and Winter warmer Essentials

Location:

8 Ormiston Road, Otara, Auckland 2019

Summary:

We are applying for funds to ensure the successful delivery of our Healthy and Energy Efficient Homes programmes across Auckland. This includes improvement and ongoing delivery of our Winter Warmer Pack (WWP) programme across Greater Auckland.
WWP provide essential household items (heaters, scoopys, hygrometers, doorsnakes, hot water bottles, blankets, energy efficient light bulbs and shower timers) to low income whānau that are identified through our Healthy Home Programme referral pathways as needing extra support. We work with volunteers and partner agencies to support  vulnerable children and wider whānau, with poor
health linked to damp and cold housing. From Otara-Papatoetoe we are also applying for an AED Defibrilator for our ReStore (charity shop).

Expertise:

Habitat is uniquely positioned as an existing provider to vulnerable families with home repair projects, healthy housing asessments, and free curtain installation. We have robust systems in place for managing referrals, volunteers, and reporting, and we have space to receive, store, pack and distribute items. We are also well known and have strong existing partnerships with local community agencies that can support programme delivery.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Improved Health outcomes such as:
reduced severity of illnesses
reduced incidence of respiratory illnesses, leading to fewer medical expenses and
prescriptions
Improved family outcomes such as:
Overall improved sense of wellbeing and safety in each person's home
Increased intergenerational whanau support and understanding
Overall community benefits of:
less pressure on medical system and increased attendance at work and school
Increased mana in whanau and homes and overall wellbeing in the community
Improved resilience and access to community services

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Howick

·     People are safe with access to services to support their wellbeing

In the wake of COVID19, we have seen increased demand for our services - more people moving home, leading to overcrowding; many whānau losing income through job cuts/loss of wages and unable to afford basic living costs; and ongoing concerns around the
overall health of whānau and preventing viruses. In addition, we know that there is a contingent of elderly and those living alone that do not always have the resources and support to isolate safely or access services to support their wellbeing. 
Our Healthy Home Interventions support wellbeing by ensuring that people live in homes that are warm, dry, and healthy, thus improving respiratory health and creating a positive environment for recovery. Some of our interventions, such as winter warmer packs can be delivered in a contactless way. Our packs include blankets, heaters, hot water bottles, mould spray, scoppy kits (to remove condensation) as well as power saving bulbs and water saving devices. Comprehensive educational support material is provided as well as links to useful contacts. This means people are safe and have access to essential services.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

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

In the period between 1 May and 31 July 2021, 50% of all whanau that we work with in our current programme delivery in this area identify as Maori.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - This is a programme that offers, if necessary, contactless delivery to people in their homes so we can deliver to anyone. Our ReStore is also accessible to most mobility levels so the AED in the ReStore can be used for people with disabilities.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Healthy environment approach:

·     Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

By supporting whanau with education about positive behaviours to maintain the health of their home, they will use their heaters more efficiently, retaining heat better and reducing electricity consumption. This means less reliance on non-renewable energy sources and a decrease in carbon emissions. In addition, we provide power saving light bulbs and water saving devices, supporting kaitiakitanga and good stewardship, thus enhancing community resilience.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$22500.00

Requesting grant for:

For $20,500 towards Healthy Home Intervention Programme Delivery costs including purchase of intervention items, associated volunteer costs and programme delivery.
For $2000 towards the purchase of an AED Defibrillator for Ormiston ReStore

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

The number of families we deliver to will fluctuate depending on how much funding we receive. We will support as many people as possible. Every whanau we work with will have different needs and may already have some interventions in place. As a minimum, the cost per family, for interventions only (not including operational costs to order and stock items, manage referral, driving time, printing costs etc) would be between $140 and $240. If we do not get enough funding, we will reduce the families we support and seek funding from other sources.

Additional information to support the application:

The Budget attached shows costs to support up to 500 whanau in Auckland. This includes Great Barrier Island and other Local Boards. Last year, between 200 and 300 whanau of all referrals received were in the Local Board areas that we are applying to. Costs may vary as suppliers sometimes alter prices and/or there are supply issues so we approach multiple suppliers, which may alter overall costs.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Howick

·     Sports and recreational opportunities respond to the needs of our communities

By providing a facility that encourages fellowship through fitness. We provide training and recreation that has routine and structure. We see increased well-being both physically and psychologically. We offer a sense of belonging that our members may not have elsewhere. Some members regard the gym as a second home. Age is not a barrier as we support our members by supporting their entire whanau. Therefore, all are welcome, we believe in promoting family involvement, we acknowledge that we have an important role in helping parents learn the language of their child, and understand that the parent can provide further support at home.
Through observation, we identify these opportunities. We also stay mindful that home dynamics may be out of our control and focus on supporting the youth directly, however we can. Our membership is donation only and very few donate, we have managed to stay open through the Chair of trustees and her fundraising efforts.

 

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·     Māori involvement in the design/concept, Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language), Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

We promote Maori culture with waiata, karakia and the use of basic te reo. We teach the importance of Māori culture and identity to immigrant members which are always received with joy. There is a high representation of Māori that are members of the academy, and their whanau are most often involved with gym activities. We always look at leaning more and doing more for Māori youth.
The Chair of trustees is NZ Maori and one of 25 recipients to be accepted into the launch cohort of the Tukana Teina Chair mentoring program provided by Community Governance NZ and the Institute of Directors (IoD), commencing early February 2022.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - We want to ensure everyone can have equal access to the gym, as others do with paid memberships. Also reap the benefits of fitness, friendships and  a safe place to be themselves. 
To date the gym has accommodated all young people and absorbed the costs of running the academy.
Over this time the gym has proudly produced several amateur boxing champions as well as providing a place to develop young people with a potential that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.  The gym is primarily made up of local boys and girls from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
Everyone is welcome and we can accommodate based on each individual's needs.

Project: Programmes for Disadvantaged Children and Youth

Location:

Low decile schools and early childhood centres throughout the Auckland region

Summary:

KidsCan programmes are delivered through low decile schools and low index early childhood centres. By running our programmes through schools this encourages the child to attend school, helps to put them in a good position to learn and removes barriers to participate in their education. Our programmes provide food, health items, shoes and socks, raincoats and hygiene products such as sanitary items for girls. Due to COVID, the unprecedented past 2 years have caused huge financial stress on many Kiwi families, we are experiencing significant increase in the need for our support within our many communities.

Expertise:

Over the past 17 years KidsCan has created tangible and practical programmes that provide the basics, to support New Zealand children living in hardship. Education is how we will break the cycle of hardship, and it is at the core of everything KidsCan does. In order to provide the best products to meet the needs of the children, we regularly meet with schools to get feedback on all programme items to ensure they are the most practical and beneficial as possible.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Short term issues that this initiative addresses includes absenteeism (which can be for a number of reasons), distracted and disengaged children in the classroom and children suffering from lack of belonging and low self-esteem. Long term issues we are trying to address with these programmes include poverty, community wellbeing and increasing literacy and the level of education in lower socioeconomic areas. Independent research by Massey University found our partnerships with low decile schools have a significant impact on reducing social issues, increasing participation in class and in raising the self-esteem of children who feel they have no hope. Research conducted within our partner schools which provided us with overwhelming support, 92% of Principals surveyed believe KidsCan items contribute to increased attendance and participation for students.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Howick

·     People are safe with access to services to support their wellbeing

KidsCan supports the education and wellbeing of 2471 students attending 8 low decile schools within the Howick region. KidsCan programmes provide food, clothing and health items to disadvantaged children, ensuring they have every opportunity to be engaged with their learning and make the most of their education. We provide the support needed to get our most vulnerable Kiwi kids the best chance at a great education, to enable them to break that cycle of hardship and to create employment opportunities for their future. Community wellbeing and in particular the wellbeing of children is extremely important to KidsCan. By running our programmes through schools we are encouraging disadvantaged children to attend school, improving their educational outcomes and allowing them the greatest opportunity to reach their full potential in life. This leads to a happier community with more educated young people. Our programmes reduce anger, theft and violence - supporting youth who may be at risk can change their lives and help break the poverty cycle.

Summary:

To operate our after school, school holiday programme for children and youth aged from 5 to 21 years and our community day participation programme for young adults aged 21 years and over with disabilities/special needs. We provide a community service
that promotes a sense of belonging to a child/young adult with a disability and provide quality focused and fun respite services within the community to those that are our most vulnerable.
vulnerable.

Expertise:

We have been in operation since 2003, so for 15 years we have run very successful programmes. In this time we have expanded all our programmes, programmes are run at capacity with wait list for some, we always try our best to ensure that all wanting to attend
can. We have invaluable training sessions with all our staff to ensure the safety and best interests of that attend are catered for.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The community will benefit by having a well established programme for children & adults that is set in a positive environment. It is encouraging, rewarding and promotes a sense of belonging. The need for our service is crucial to families so that they can have the respite needed when trying to need the demands of special needs/disabled children. Unlike other programmes we have a very high ratio of support workers to children, in receiving this funding we are also able to continue offering rewarding employment opportunities to the youth of Auckland, and to provide them with the training to continue along the path of working with children/adults that have disabilities. There are so very few places in Auckland that provide this service and we have families travelling in excess of 2 hours each way to get their child to attend our programmes. We have also noticed a major gap in the services for transitional programmes for young adults on leaving school that are unable to work or hold down a job for various reasons. We have fabulous facilities available to us to run a programme and the knowledge of what is required for it to be successful and rewarding .

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Howick

·     People are safe with access to services to support their wellbeing

To collaborate with the local community to create opportunities that promote the disability sector in a positive sense. To get involved and make use of all the wonderful facilities on offer to us within the local area, using library facilities and classes, we also make fantastic use of the fitness centres in the area. To train support workers to understand about the issues that face children and young adults and families with special needs. To provide a team of trained carers, to care for the children while in our programmes, thus allowing other families members to have some much needed respite knowing that their child is well cared for in a safe environment

 

Demographics

·     No Māori outcomes identified

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - All the children and young adults that attend our programmes have a long term (lifetime) disabilities.  Without our programmes and facilities they may have no where else to go!

Our programmes are all smoke free, and we actively discourage all that attend, work or volunteer with us that smoking is unhealthy and not allowed anywhere within our facilities.  We recycle all waste, offer healthy food and teach our clients to cook healthy foods.  We are active and get out to the numerous parks within the Auckland area to exercise, and walk to anywhere that is close to save on fuels and help with our fitness.

Additional information to support the application:

Many of our families really struggle to be able to take their loved one to many public places, this can be due to the attitudes of others towards their child or if they are aggressive or can become aggressive while out due to many factors. It is great that we be able to offer
somewhere that they can go and don't need to constantly feel vulnerable and always on edge. These children and their families deserve as much respect as everyone else in this world, but unfortunately don't always get this.

Project: Pet Refuge shelter costs

Location:

Auckland

Summary:

Funding is sought to go towards the costs of running the Pet Refuge shelter. Pet Refuge is very fortunate to be able to have generous sponsors for a number of the products needed for the animals - such as food, toys and health treatments. However the administration cost of running the shelter is high.

Expertise:

The shelter has now been open for more than 6 months. There has been challenges and learnings throughout these months. With a fantastic Board of Trustees and strong leadership, the Pet Refuge shelter has been able to grow and meet the challenges, making adjustments as needed. The founder of Pet Refuge is also the CEO of a very successful New Zealand charity that has been operating for more than 17 years.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Pet Refuge believes in a New Zealand where pets and their owners don't have to live with domestic violence. We will make it possible for people with pets to leave the abuse behind and create new beginnings. By removing one of the barriers to leaving an abusive situation, victims of domestic violence will be able to leave sooner than they previously could have. This is not only good for the victim, but also any children that may be part of the relationship - in a number of instances children are made to watch, or even take part in,pets being harmed or even killed. This is traumatising to the child and extremely damaging psychologically. The location
of the shelter will be kept confidential in order to protect the safety of the pets, women and children assisted by Pet Refuge. We are proud to have the experienced team from RSPCA New South Wales helping with the development of our programme. RSPCA NSW has been running their own Domestic Violence programme for 14 years, offering practical solutions for pet owners seeking refuge from abuse.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Howick

·     People are safe with access to services to support their wellbeing

Pet Refuge New Zealand will enable victims of family violence to escape earlier by providing temporary housing for their pets. We will be working closely with organisations such as Women's Refuge, Shine, and the New Zealand Police for referrals. There is a huge community need for the shelter, as shown by the survey undertaken by Women's Refuge

The community benefits provided by Auckland Softball include improved sporting programmes in the community for all regardless of age, gender or social standing. This is achieved by providing  a safe, healthy and social sporting environment for all participants from pre primary school age through to senior players. ASA players feel connected to where they live, proud to play softball for their local clubs and appreciate the opportunity provided to strive to represent their association to higher honours within Auckland and further afield.
ASA regularly hosts national and international tournaments at various venues across Auckland. These tournaments benefit the community when participants and supporters attend from outside the region and provide revenue to local businesses including food outlets and accommodation providers amongst others.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Howick

·     Sports and recreational opportunities respond to the needs of our communities

Howick Softball Club is one of the strongest and fastest growing clubs in Auckland Softball.  There is considerable increase in the junior competitions in the area, and it also hosts one of our Teeball modules for 4-10 year olds.  In partnership with Howick Softball Club, Auckland Softball is focussing on engaging the increased diversity of the area.  Receiving funding helps the ASA keep the cost to our players of participating in softball as low as possible. This in turn helps us to achieve the aim of keeping players engaged and involved as well as attracting new participants to the sport, particularly in these difficult covid times. Our vision is to be the Summer Sport for all of the whanau and Softball is a sport where the whole family attends.

ASA can help our communities to start a healthy wellbeing lifestyle.  Being a sport for all the whanau, many adults are encouraged to get involved through the involvement of their children.  All Auckland Softball events are smoke free, alcohol and drug free.  Auckland Softball has  invested in a filtered water trailer, enabling us to provide free clean water with all our events.

Project: Creating equitable access and celebrating te to The Whale Rider

Location:

The PumpHouse Theatre, Manurere Avenue, Takapuna; Te Oro, 98 Line Road, Glen Innes; Playhouse Theatre, 15 Glendale Road, Glen Eden; Mangere Arts Centre, Corner Bader Drive and Orly Avenue, Mangere; and Vodafone Events Centre, 770 Great South Road, Wiri, Manukau

Summary:

We a thrilled to bring Witi Ihimaera’s classic story The Whale Rider back to the stage in a compelling children’s theatre show. This beautifully rich story of whānau and tikanga is masterfully translated into a live performance that will absorb the viewer, from start to end. Hailed the ‘most intelligent Tim Bray production’ in 2014 by KickArts, this is a poignant tale of forging paths and self-belief and a show all children need to see. 
 
Destined to become leader of her tribe, no matter how hard she tries to show her worth, Kahu’s koro (grandfather) won’t accept that a kōtiro (girl) can take over his role of chief. But rescuing the ancient whale beached in the Whāngārā Harbour changes everything.

Expertise:

Celebrated as Auckland’s leading theatre for children, Tim Bray Theatre Company (TBTC) have been at the forefront of the industry for 30 years. As a registered charitable trust, we are guided by a strong board, management team and strategic plan. We have been making a difference in Auckland communities through our Gift a Seat™ programme and Auckland tours. We focus on improving wellbeing by increasing equitable access to and promoting participation in the arts.    
 
The PumpHouse Theatre in Takapuna has been our 'base' since 2004. We found that low decile schools were declining the Gift a Seat™ opportunity as travel costs and/or travel time to Takapuna was prohibitive. Taking the shows to local theatre venues makes live theatre more accessible.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Gift a Seat™ is at the cornerstone of our organisation, enabling us to provide free tickets to children from low decile schools and ECEs. Local board support will help promote equality by ensuring that Auckland children from all backgrounds can experience the joys and learning benefits that live theatre offers.  
 
Teachers are supported to make the most of the theatre experience with free, comprehensive, cross-curricular Teachers’ Resource Guide delivered in two parts, before and after the show. This guide not only assists the teacher in providing quality arts learning, but interweaves learning across all subject learning to support an inquiry approach to teaching. This resource guide extends the initial theatrical experience and provides teachers with the support to build on knowledge and inspire tamariki to be the next generation of arts supporters’ practitioners and creative thinkers. Beyond curricular learning, teachers have fed back on improved social competencies developed through the confidence building of acting, enhanced imaginative play and collaboration.

Howick

·     Support local arts, culture, music and heritage activities and experiences

We a thrilled to bring Witi Ihimaera’s classic story The Whale Rider back to the stage in a compelling children’s theatre show. This beautifully rich story of whānau and tikanga is masterfully translated into a live performance that will absorb the viewer, from start to end. Hailed the ‘most intelligent Tim Bray production’ in 2014 by KickArts, this is a poignant tale of forging paths and self-belief and a show all children need to see.  
 
Destined to become leader of her tribe, no matter how hard she tries to show her worth, Kahu’s koro (grandfather) won’t accept that a kōtiro (girl) can take over his role of chief. But a rescue of the ancient whale beached in the Whāngārā Harbour changes everything.  
 
“...what I’ve asserted in many a previous Tim Bray Production review, that the level of engagement their plays generate with the target audience is testament to the intelligence and the soul of our kids.  The Whale Rider is a modern classic.” - Nik Smythe, Theatreview 2014  
 
We are building relationships with schools in the Howick Local Board area. We know that equitable access to the arts for children is an ongoing issue nationally, and children from low decile schools are particularly affected. We want to ensure that all children in the Howick Local Board area can attend a high-quality live theatre production by offering low decile schools in your area free tickets through our Gift a Seat™ programme. There are currently 9 primary schools at Decile 5 or under who would be eligible for free tickets (e.g., Elm Park or Riverhills). We expect demand for The Whale Rider to be strong, and that high decile schools will choose to attend too. This gives tamariki from all backgrounds the opportunity to come together to enjoy our inspiring theatre performance. 
 
The national focus on teaching New Zealand’s history and culture provides a wonderful opportunity for Auckland schools looking develop their curricular to engage and inspire their learners in ways that are relevant to their school community. Bringing children to The Whale Rider through our Gift a Seat™ programme encourages their engagement with local culture and history. Seeing stories performed on stage helps children to imagine how life would have been.  
 
Angela Smith, Principal at Mauku School states “Giving a large group the chance to be immersed in live theatre would help them see books come to life. Many of our students have limited access to books and have a narrow range of experiences. Removing the cost barrier and making activities freely available opens up another world for our tamariki.”  
 
The value of a fun and engaging theatre experience when inspiring and shaping the future aspirations of our tamariki cannot be understated, particularly when cost is removed as a barrier. Many will relish the opportunity to experience live theatre, particularly a large-scale professional production. The Whale Rider will create dynamic experiences for children, particularly for those from smaller schools experiencing sitting in a large audience. Teacher Resource Guides will facilitate the transfer of outcomes from the theatre experience to the classroom. Schools in the local area will have the opportunity to attend our shows at Mangere Arts Centre or Vodafone Events Centre, thus greatly reducing the cost of transport. We are delighted to be able to showcase this magical production locally in this community theatre. We hope that the community will come out to see this well known Māori story. 
Some of these schools will require additional support with bus funding. Our application also includes a contribution to bus transport (see attached budget and example invoices). Should schools not require transport support, we would use the additional funds for free tickets

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our Gift a Seat™ programme supports children from Make-A-Wish NZ, Ko Taku Reo deaf Education (NZ Sign Language Interpreted Performances) and blind and sight impaired children from BLENNZ (Audio Described Performances). Accessible performances cater for children’s different needs so that they can access live theatre in a way that works for them. Our most recent initiatives include Sensory Relaxed performances, in partnership with Children’s Autism Foundation, and free storytelling events in libraries across Auckland. Our theatres all have disability access provisions.  
 
In October 2020, we were proud to be acknowledged for our accessible programmes, winning the prestigious Arts Access Creative New Zealand Arts For All Award, recognising our “leadership and long-term commitment to accessibility since 2004.”

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 - We request that any of our cast or crew who smoke do not smoke in view of the audience coming to see our shows as they are role models to our young audiences. All theatres are smoke-free environments.  
 
Waste Minimisation - We store previous sets, props and costumes from our shows. We adapt, reuse and recycle these as much as possible in each new production. To reduce paper, since 2018, we have sent our quarterly newsletter to 4,000 families electronically. 
 
Healthy options - No food or drink is supplied by us at the theatres.  
 
Active lifestyles - In the show children and adults see very physical performances from our cast, and get to meet the sweaty actors after the show. We often hear how children recreate scenes from our shows at home.

Requesting grant for:

Gift a Seat funding for 2700 tamariki from local board areas to attend performances of The Whale Rider in theatres local to their area, for free. This is 54% of our targeted Gift a Seat capacity for this production as we aim to fully fund all our applications for free access.

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

We are seeking funding for our Gift a Seat™ programme from multiple funders. Our aim is to provide as many free tickets as there are applications. The Whale Rider is a unique story, celebrating Māori tikanga and culture. We expect demand for Gift a Seat™ tickets to be strong, particularly as a way for schools to engage children in Aotearoas’s culture and history. We are looking to fund 5,000 free Gift a Seat™ tickets for The Whale Rider.

Summary:

We will train both volunteers and Auckland librarians as Reader Leaders using our 3 week Read to Lead training programme. 
We will support our Reader Leaders to start and maintain free to attend shared reading groups at libraries and care homes.
We will connect our readers with local writers by hosting a monthly event called Aotearoa Literary Hub.

Expertise:

We have been running shared reading in Aotearoa/ New Zealand since 2015 when we travelled to the UK for our initial training. We have continued to train with the Reader Organisation UK over the years to remain at the forefront of best practice. 
 
Last year we up-skilled in order to be able to deliver Read to Lead training via Zoom. This was a necessary response to the ongoing pandemic situation. We have delivered back-to-back Zoom courses since then as many librarians and volunteers have loved taking the opportunity to learn from home!
 
We have run shared reading successfully in libraries, prisons, care homes, recovery centres and other communities with very positive feedback from staff and residents and community members.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Shared Reading has been extensively studied in the UK and proven to reduce isolation and loneliness and improve wellbeing for diverse participants. 93% of participants feel better after a session and 84% make new friends through shared reading. Shared reading is proven to help with chronic pain, depression and has wide ranging health and social benefits. https://www.thereader.org.uk/about-us/our-research/
 
We have smaller scale survey feedback that shows very similar results for our Auckland communities. We have completed extensive training with The Reader Organisation UK and use their training materials and methodologies to ensure that we are providing the highest quality training and mentoring to our Reader Leaders. Our communities can expect the same beneficial results as achieved overseas.
 
We have Reader Leaders working with very diverse community members like new migrants, rainbow communities, older people, rough sleepers, people with mental health challenges, people with dementia, Parkinson's disease, people who have had strokes and many other conditions. We can include all these diverse group members within a single shared reading session and it will be fantastic because we can all learn from one another's different experiences as related to the poem or story.

·     People actively contribute to their community

Shared reading groups are a partnership between our volunteers and Auckland librarians to provide safe spaces for diverse community members to connect and share their stories. In a shared reading group the stories and poems are at the heart of our discussion, we believe that great literature endures because it has something essential to say about the experience of being human! In a library community group the people who attend are diverse ages, cultures and backgrounds. Within a shared reading session the Reader Leader asks open questions about how we relate personally to the events and characters in the text. This invites personal responses and we learn about each person's different cultures and experiences from hearing from one another. The Reader Leader weaves together the personal responses into a unique interpretation of the story or poem! Shared reading is creative and the group feel a sense of collective learning and achievement! 
 
We read aloud to make our groups as accessible as possible for participants with low vision or perceptual reading impairments or people on heavy medication or low levels of literacy. Our groups are very accessible to people with many different disabilities or illnesses including dementia. We support people with a wide range of mental health issues such as schizophrenia or anxiety.
 
We are also running a new project called Aotearoa Literary Hub in 2022 which is a monthly event connecting our readers with local writers. We read their stories or poems in our groups then meet the writers themselves to learn more about their work and share our feedback.
 
We have just trained two librarians at Highland Park library with our 3 week course Read to Lead. We are building their team with volunteers to serve the diverse library community.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

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

We have Maori volunteers who are committed to taking shared reading to marae when it is considered safe. This project has been planned since 2021 but postponed due to the pandemic.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - In shared reading groups we read all materials aloud to provide access for vision impaired or blind people, people with perceptual reading impairments, people who cannot hold the pages, who are on heavy medication or with low literacy. Reading aloud slows the text down allowing time and space for people to think along with the story.
We are also accessible to people with dementia or Alzheimers, who can equally participate in shared reading with their peers.
We have feedback that our group is really beneficial to a group member who has had a stroke- she say shared reading supports her recovery.
Our volunteering programme is also accessible, we have volunteer Reader Leaders with various physical disabilities including MS and Parkinsons.

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

Our groups are all held in smoke free locations, libraries, care homes and other council run locations.
 We provide tea, coffee and water as beverages in ceramic cups.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$44000.00

Requesting grant for:

We are requesting funding for wages for our only paid employee. She manages the organisation and delivers all the training, mentoring and support for the Reader Leaders. She supports 50 volunteers and currently around 30 Auckland librarians, with more training this year. We provide all our services to Auckland communities free of charge. We cannot operate without a paid person at the heart of the organisation. There are many diverse tasks including the website and the resources for Reader Leaders and groups.

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

If we are not able to fund the role of manager for at least 35 hours per week our manager will need to find other paid work. We would necessarily have to stop training new Reader Leaders. It would also be difficult to maintain an appropriate level of support and mentoring for our existing Reader Leaders and shared reading communities. She already does extra volunteering hours with us on top of the paid 35 hours to make it all run smoothly!

Summary:

StarJam programmes embrace diversity and inclusion, bringing benefit to people isolated and disadvantaged by disability and who lack opportunities for recreation, particularly based around music.
 
StarJam programme has 3 components:
a) weekly community music workshops: a welcoming participant-centered 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 judgment.
 
c) community performance programme; a public showcase for Jammers’ music skills,
instilling confidence, promoting connecting with/giving back to community.

Expertise:

StarJam is a highly respected organisation with a solid track record of delivering an inclusive and sustainable programme. StarJam has had 20 years of continuous growth since inception in August 2002 when just 2 workshops for 24 Auckland youth with disabilities. Attendance, feedback and continued inquiries from our community affirms our reputation as a provider of quality programmes for youth with disabilities. Numbers have grown steadily to current figures of over 800 participants attending 70 regional workshops. With many areas experiencing heavy waiting lists and new regions asking for our services, we feel confident that our expansions plan to reach 116 workshops by the end of 2025 is both timely and much needed.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Young members of the community living with disabilities have the opportunity to participate in regular active recreation in an environment without judgement, therefore reducing isolation and developing self-worth. These ‘Jammers’ are be able to develop physical, emotional and social skill sets that will support successful integration into communities and assist them to reach their full potential. StarJam performances and social community events reduce intolerance and bullying; to help remove many of the misconceptions and pre-conceived bias towards people with disabilities as they focus on what our members are able to do, rather than their disability. 
 
The community benefits through education around disability, building strong connections with all members of the community and highlights inclusivity of all - developing a sense of acceptance and trust in a non-judgmental environment. Parents, caregivers and whanau experience a network of support from their community and can have pride in observing the amazing achievements of their child.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Howick

·     Rangatahi /Youth in Howick have a voice, are valued, and contribute

StarJam offers 2 workshops in the Howick area called the 'East Dynamite Dancers' & 'Eastside Groovers'. Many of our participants (Jammers) are faced with daily physical, mental and emotional challenges as well as experiencing bullying, isolation and exclusion. The detrimental impact that this has on their overall hauora is difficult for not only the participants but their whanau and caregivers. StarJam offers a lifeline to an often marginalised group- where irrespective of their disability they are met with a true sense of belonging and inclusivity. Jammers are given a space that is truly theirs; where they will not be judged and where they are able to explore their new found talents, confidence and motivation to be involved. 
 
Within these music, singing and dance workshops, social events and performances; Jammers are supported by their tutor, volunteers and Jammer friends and essentially develop their emotional, physical and social skills. These skills are vital in assisting them to integrate and contribute to their communities - creating positive change in their lives and the lives of those around them. 
 
Throughout the Covid-19 restrictions, we ensured that our Jammers could stay connected when face-to-face workshops were unable to happen. StarJam established an online platform so that Jammers could still join their regular workshops in real-time from the safety of their own homes. This online platform is used whenever the need arises, ensuring much needed stability and support for Jammers and their whanau.
 
StarJam enables strong, inclusive communities by providing a place of acceptance for youth with disabilities, and by building connections with the public through our performance programme. These opportunities for other members of the community to be a part of StarJam performances consolidates the strong sense of validation, contribution, empowerment and inclusivity that these Jammers may not otherwise experience.

Project: Empowering Auckland Rangatahi in Employment

Location:

Auckland secondary schools, tertiary providers, community groups.

Summary:

The YWRC will deliver employment relations education to rangatahi aged 15-24. Our aim is to empower rangatahi with a concrete understanding of their employment rights and responsibilities, and enable them to safely pathway from education to employment. Through our education programmes thousands of young people will be more prepared for the workforce. They will have a greater understanding of their employment rights, workplace relationships, and employment relations processes. This education will help them navigate the youth labour market as the establish themselves as young adults and enable them to contribute back to their communities.

Expertise:

We have been delivering workplace empowerment education across the Central North Island to approximately 2500-3500 young people every year since 1993 and receive consistently positive feedback. In 2021 we expanded our services into Auckland, and have an educator working full-time in the region. Previous to this we travelled from Hamilton to provide education in Franklin and South Auckland schools.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Through our education we empower thousands of young people every year to feel more prepared to navigate the challenges of the workplace. As a result of our services young people are better prepared to seek and obtain employment, and maintain meaningful employment relationships. They have a greater understanding of employment relations, understand the give and take nature of work, and are able to apply their legal rights if appropriate. We also build with them a greater understanding of health and safety, and in particular mental wellbeing in the workplace – an area that does not receive enough focus. The expected benefits and outcomes of our education are stronger communities, through young people who have developed positive identities through employment and are contributing meaningfully to society.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

Howick

·     Rangatahi /Youth in Howick have a voice, are valued, and contribute

Our workforce education for rangatahi will enhance the voice of young workers in the Howick district. Under a dominant paradigm where the balance of power is overwhelmingly in favour of businesses and employers, young workers are taught not to expect agency within their employment relationships but to accept a status quo that normalises workplace exploitation and mistreatment. Through our workplace empowerment education and employment support services we are focused on empowering young workers to create a new truth where equity, inclusion, and justice are foundational expectations of any employment relationship. Our education teaches rangatahi about employment rights and responsibilities, how to protect themselves when facing employment challenges, support others, and challenge unfair practices and institutions that are marginalising their voice. Developing a firm understanding of their rights and employment relations will enhance self-determination and enable greater community participation for rangatahi.

New staff members will be welcomed into our organisation with whakatau, our resources will be made accessible in Te Reo Maori, and we will prioritise establishing relationships with Kura Kaupapa, and iwi groups, to make our workplace empowerment education available and appropriate for rangatahi Maori. We also have a high proportion of Maori staff in our organisation (currently fifty percent).

Draft Auckland golf investment plan

File No.: CP2022/05773

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek tautoko / support for the draft Auckland golf investment plan titled Where all Aucklanders benefit from publicly owned golf land.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       To increase Aucklander’s access to, and the benefits from, publicly owned golf land, staff have developed a draft investment plan.

3.       Staff recommend that you support the draft Auckland golf investment plan titled Where all Aucklanders benefit from publicly owned golf land.  

4.       There will be increased accountability and transparency from an outcome-focused investment approach and a clear decision-making framework. Implementation of the plan is expected to achieve:

·     increased equity, sport and recreation by opening up publicly owned golf land to all Aucklanders

·     increased equity and participation by providing a broad range of golf experiences that attract and retain participants and services targeted at low participation groups

·     best practice in ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation of publicly owned golf land.

5.       If adopted, any future investment would need to align with the plan. The main trade-off is between taking a consistent regional approach to future decision-making and one-off decisions as current leases end.

6.       The next step is for the Parks, Arts, Community and Events Committee to consider adoption of the plan in mid-2022. Local board feedback will help inform their decision-making.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Howick Local Board:

a)      tautoko / support the draft Auckland golf investment plan titled Where all Aucklanders benefit from publicly owned golf land attached to this report (Attachment A)

b)      tautoko / support the three policy objectives set in the draft Auckland golf investment plan:

i)       increased equity, sport and recreation by opening up publicly owned golf land to all Aucklanders

ii)       increased equity and participation by providing a broad range of golf experiences that attract and retain participants and services targeted at low participation groups

iii)      best practice in ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation of publicly owned golf land.

c)       tautoko / support the decision-making framework set in the draft Auckland golf investment plan, in which future use of publicly owned golf land will be considered in the context of local needs, increased equity, participation and environmental outcomes.

 

Horopaki

Context

Exclusive use of publicly owned land for golf is not sustainable

Problem definition

7.       There are 13 golf courses operating on 535 hectares of council-owned or managed land. This publicly owned land has an estimated value of $2.9 billion in 2018.[1]

8.       Public access to this land, other than to play golf, is limited which means that some Aucklanders are missing out.

9.       There are competing demands to provide open space and community facilities. Housing and business land is also in short supply in urban areas.

10.     This makes exclusive use of publicly owned land by a single sports code unsustainable.

The draft investment plan builds on community engagement, research and analysis

11.     Development of the draft plan involved community engagement, research and analysis.

12.     Work commenced in 2016 with the release of a discussion document for public engagement [PAR/2016/11 refers].

13.     The investment approach was supported by a majority of Aucklanders who responded to the consultation in 2016. There was strong feedback for council to maximise the benefits from its investment in golf. This is reflected in the draft plan.

14.     Following analysis of submissions on the discussion document, the Parks, Sport and Recreation Committee approved development of a draft plan with the following components [PAR/2016/52 refers]:

·     a policy statement setting out the vision, investment principles and the scope of council’s investment.

·     a decision-making framework that sets how the investment approach will be applied as well as ongoing reporting and monitoring.

15.     A range of research was undertaken to support the development of a draft plan, including an analysis of the value of golf to Auckland’s economy and benchmarking to assess the environmental performance of golf courses on publicly owned land.

16.     Cost-benefit analyses were undertaken of the 13 golf courses. A tool was developed to assess the costs and benefits of different forms of sport and recreation investment.

17.     An intervention logic and decision-making framework were developed and refined following workshops with the Environment and Community Committee and 10 local boards in September and November 2018.

18.     Key aspects of the draft plan were workshopped with the Parks, Arts, Community and Events Committee in December 2021.

19.     The Parks, Arts, Community and Events Committee considered the draft plan in February 2022 and invited staff to use this document to engage with the community.

Analysis and advice

Changes are proposed so that all Aucklanders benefit from publicly owned golf land

20.     Staff have developed a draft Auckland golf investment plan in order to make publicly owned golf land accessible to Aucklanders and to increase public benefits from this land.

21.     It proposes three policy objectives:

·     increase equity, sport and recreation by opening up publicly owned golf land to all Aucklanders

·     increase equity and participation by providing a broad range of golf experiences that attract and retain participants and services targeted at low participation groups

·     best practice in ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation of publicly owned golf land.

22.     The proposed outcome-focused investment approach, with a clear decision-making framework, would also increase accountability and transparency.

Increasing public value is an accepted public sector approach

23.     The draft plan takes a public value approach as it aims to deliver more public value to Aucklanders from council investment.

24.     Public value is an accepted approach. It has informed public policy in New Zealand and other countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom since the mid-1990s.[2]

25.     It focuses decision-making on how best to manage public assets to benefit all members of society.

26.     Alternate approaches, where council does not consider the costs and benefits of allocating publicly owned land to golf or public versus private benefits, have been discounted.

27.     These factors cannot be overlooked when there are competing demands for open space or community facilities and land supply constraints.

The investment approach is consistent with council policy

28.     In 2019, the Environment and Community Committee adopted the Increasing Aucklanders’ Participation in Sport: Investment Plan 2019-2039 [ENV/2019/93 refers].

29.     The draft plan is consistent with council policy on sport investment.[3] It has the same investment objective of increasing equity and participation and the same investment principles as the overarching sport investment plan.

30.     A separate plan from Increasing Aucklanders’ Participation in Sport: Investment Plan 2019-2039 was needed because there is more complexity to golf both in terms of costs and benefits. For example, golf courses may operate on marginal land, and they can have other functions such as stormwater management.

31.     Increasing environmental benefits were an additional consideration given the large land areas currently allocated to golf.

The draft plan proposes four key shifts to benefit all Aucklanders

32.     Four key shifts to the status quo are proposed so that all Aucklanders benefit from increased equity, participation and environmental outcomes.

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 1: Four key shifts to deliver increased benefits to Aucklanders

1

 

FROM ad hoc historic decisions of legacy councils

Now there is intensive demand for land to accommodate Auckland’s growth

 

TO a robust investment framework that is focused on increasing benefits to all Aucklanders

Public-owned golf land will be considered in the context of local needs, increased equity, participation and environmental outcomes

 

DELIVERS increased accountability and transparency

 

2

 

FROM publicly owned land used exclusively by golfers

There is competition over access to open space and some Aucklanders are missing out

TO sport and recreation for all Aucklanders

Opening publicly owned golf land to other users with new play spaces, walking, running and cycling paths and other sport and recreation activities

 

DELIVERS increased equity and sport and recreation participation rates

 

3

 

FROM asset-based investment in traditional mid-level (development) golf courses

Auckland golf courses meet the needs of a relatively narrow segment of population[4]

TO a broad golf service offering across the network that appeals to a wider group of people

Providing a broad range of golf experiences and pathways that attract and retain participants with services targeted at low participation groups

 

DELIVERS increased equity and golf participation rates

 

4

 

FROM variable environmental management of publicly owned golf land

Some golf courses are high users of water, fertilisers, pesticides and energy

 

TO best practice in ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation that meets clearly defined targets

A kaitiakitanga framework ensures publicly owned golf land is environmentally sustainable, energy neutral and carbon positive

 

DELIVERS increased natural and environmental benefits

 

 

33.     If the draft plan is adopted, these changes can be implemented as leases end, or by agreement with current leaseholders.

Decision-makers will consider a range of evidence and options before any future investment

34.     The draft plan sets out a clear decision-making framework to guide and inform any future investment and leasing decisions. Its sets out clear objectives and expectations about the public benefits sought from publicly owned golf land.

35.     Decisions will be informed by an indicative business case with a full range of policy options assessed against the plan’s investment objectives and principles. This will help inform decisions that local boards make about golf leases.

36.     Development of the indicative business cases will commence three to five years prior to the end of a current lease for golf courses on publicly owned land. Eight of these leases end before 2028.

 

 

Figure 2: Proposed decision-making framework (see page 21 of Attachment A for a larger version)

Timeline Description automatically generated

Future investment decisions will involve the governing body and local boards

37.     If the golf investment plan is adopted, the governing body and local boards will work together to implement the plan. This process will adapt to any changes made to current allocated decision-making responsibilities.

38.     Currently the governing body makes strategic decisions concerning asset ownership and future investment to increase sport and recreation opportunities for all Aucklanders. Local boards make decisions on the use of publicly owned land, including leases, and the development of open space to meet community needs.

39.     During the development of indicative business cases for individual publicly owned golf land, joint working groups can be set up to consider policy options and implementation requirements. This would ensure close collaboration between decision-makers.

There are some trade-offs associated with adopting the plan and the key shifts

40.     Key Shift 1 (a robust investment framework) means taking a consistent regional approach to future decision-making rather than making one-off decisions as current leases end. It also means that a full range of policy options will be considered as part of an indicative business case, rather than simply going through a new lease process.

41.     Implementation will require a joint approach involving the governing body and local boards, reflecting and adapting to changing decision-making allocated to local boards.

42.     Key Shift 2 (sport and recreation for all Aucklanders) means making space for other sport and recreation activities on publicly owned golf land.

43.     In most cases, it is anticipated that these activities can co-exist alongside golf on publicly owned land.

44.     Key Shift 3 (a broad golf service offering) could mean making changes to the types of services or facilities available. For example, a driving range and an introductory golf could be provided in place of an existing 18-hole golf course.

45.     Any such change would have varied support between new and experienced golfers.

46.     Key Shift 4 (sustainable environmental practices) means that all golf courses on publicly owned land will need to meet a minimum environmental benchmark.

47.     Six golf courses on publicly owned land would not currently meet this benchmark.

48.     Some of them are participating in a pilot run by Auckland Council’s Infrastructure and Environmental Services department to improve environmental practices, but decisions may need to be made as to whether additional council support is provided.

There are strengths and weaknesses to the plan

49.     There are strengths and weaknesses to the draft plan as well as some limitations and constraints (see Table 1).

50.     A strength of the draft plan is how it has built on public engagement in 2016. The majority of public respondents to a council discussion document sought increased access to publicly owned golf land. They supported walking, running and cycling trails. They also supported use of an environmental auditing tool.

51.     Other key strengths are the proposed public value approach and strategic alignment with the Auckland and Māori Plans. It also builds on golf sector strategies and plans.

52.     The main weakness is that the draft plan relied on publicly available golf participation data (up to and including data from 2020). Golf New Zealand has subsequently provided more up-to-date data, which shows increases in participation over the last two years.

53.     Another weakness is that the draft plan does not specify any level of future council investment. Decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis as leases end. This will allow council to make timely decisions based on community needs as participation trends will change over time. This may however create uncertainty for leaseholders and the wider golf sector.

We are engaging again with Aucklanders to get their views

54.     Staff are engaging with Aucklanders, the sport and recreation sector as well as golf clubs and leaseholders to get their views on the draft plan.

55.     A range of mechanisms were used to engage the public, including the People’s Panel survey and public submissions to the Have Your Say consultation, with a cross section of Aucklanders providing feedback.

·     Have Your Say engagement ran from 23 March to 20 April 2022. A total of 1,074 people provided feedback on the draft plan. A broad range of ages, ethnicities and locations were represented. However, a large proportion was older, male Pākeha/New Zealand European respondents, or from the Albert-Eden, Devonport-Takapuna and Ōrākei local board areas.

·     The People’s Panel ran from 7 to 12 April 2022. A total of 1,070 people completed the survey. A broad range of ages, ethnicities and locations were represented in the feedback.

56.     Consultation with the sport and recreation sector as well as golf clubs and leaseholders through a series of virtual meetings runs until 27 May 2022.

The views of Aucklanders in 2022 varied on the draft plan

57.     Feedback from the Peoples Panel and Have Your Say varied (see Figure 3):

·     51 per cent of the Peoples Panel ‘support’ the overall goal to ensure that all Aucklanders benefit from publicly owned golf land. A further 28 per cent ‘partially support’ this goal.

·     59 per cent of Have Your Say respondents ‘don’t support’ the plan.

58.     There is support across both groups of respondents for the environmental aspects of the plan, in particular Policy Objective 3 (best practice in ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation).

59.     On most other aspects of the plan there were opposing views between respondents to the Peoples Panel’s survey and the Have Your Say consultation.

The sport and recreation sector supports the focus on increasing equity and participation

60.     Initial feedback from the sport and recreation sector supports the focus on increasing equity and participation in sport and recreation for all Aucklanders as well as golf.

61.     They also welcome opportunities for new play spaces, walking, jogging and cycling paths.

The golf sector opposes the draft plan in its current form

62.     The golf sector has indicated that they oppose the draft plan in its current form. They are concerned that the draft plan does not reflect the current situation.

63.     Golf New Zealand provided evidence that participation rates have increased in recent years and suggested that further investment is required to meet the needs for golf in the future.

To date golf leaseholders have told us that the draft plan gives them more certainty and they are doing many of the things it seeks to achieve

64.     Golf leaseholders that staff have spoken with to date think that the draft plan gives them more certainty as to what council would invest in and transparency over future decision-making processes.

65.     They also noted that they were already doing many of the things outlined in the plan, including growing participation among young people and women, broadening their golf service offering and increasing environmental benefits.

Staff will analyse all the submissions and will look at what changes need to be made

66.     Staff will analyse all of the submissions made on the draft plan and will look at what changes need to be made to the document. This includes updating golf participation data.

Staff recommend that local boards support the draft plan

67.     Staff recommend that you support the adoption of this plan.

68.     There will be increased accountability and transparency from an outcome-focused investment approach and a clear decision-making framework.

69.     If adopted, the plan will help increase Aucklander’s access to publicly owned land.

70.     It will also help increase equity and participation in sport and recreation, including golf.

71.     Increased natural and environmental benefits will come from a kaitiakitanga framework with ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

The draft plan aligns with Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Action Plan

72.     Getting better environmental outcomes from the 535 hectares of open space currently allocated to golf is critical to Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Action Plan.

73.     A kaitiakitanga framework will ensure golf courses employ best practice in ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation.

74.     If the draft plan is adopted, leaseholders will need to meet a minimum benchmark covering:

·     ecology

·     landscape and cultural heritage

·     energy consumption and waste reduction

·     water resource

·     climate change

·     pollution prevention.

75.     Eke Panuku Development Auckland will need to ensure that decision-making on any leases is made in accordance with the plan if it is adopted.

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

Local impacts and local board views

There is inequity across age, gender and ethnic groups and people living with disabilities

76.     Not all Aucklanders have the same opportunities to participate in sport and recreation or to play golf:

·     there is inequity for people living with disabilities

·     Asian and Pacific Aucklanders have lower sport and recreation participation rates

·     women and young people have lower golf participation rates.

Local boards have been briefed on the draft plan and their views are now sought

77.     The draft plan sets out a clear decision-making framework to guide and inform any future investment and leasing decisions. Its sets out clear objectives and expectations about the public benefits sought from publicly owned golf land.

78.     If the draft plan is adopted, the governing body and local board allocated decision-making responsibilities will work together to implement the plan. This process will adapt to any changes made to current allocated decision-making responsibilities.

79.     Currently the governing body makes strategic decisions concerning asset ownership and future investment to increase sport and recreation opportunities for all Aucklanders. Local boards make decisions on the use of publicly owned land, including leases, and the development of open space to meet community needs.

80.     Joint working groups to consider policy options and implementation requirements as part of the development of indicative business cases can ensure close collaboration between investment and lease decisions.

81.     Staff held a local board member briefing on 4 April 2022, providing an overview of the draft plan and responded to questions.

82.     This report provides an overview of the draft plan as well as a high-level summary of public feedback. It seeks a formal view on the draft plan.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

83.     The draft plan aligns with the five key directions that reflect the overarching goals or aspirations of mana whenua and mataawaka as set-out in the Māori Plan:

·     Whanaungatanga /… Access to public facilities 

·     Rangatiratanga /…Māori are actively involved in decision-making and management of natural resources

·     Manaakitanga /… Access to clean parks and reserves

·     Wairuatanga /… Indigenous flora and fauna

·     Kaitiakitanga /…Māori are kaitiaki of the environment.

84.     Mana whenua have been provided with a summary of the draft plan and public feedback to assist with their decision-making process about providing feedback.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

85.     There are no financial implications to the local board for any decision to support the draft plan, its policy objectives and the decision-making framework it outlines.

86.     If the draft plan is adopted, the costs of undertaking indicative business cases would be funded within existing department budget.

87.     The financial implications of any decisions recommended through individual indicative business cases would be outlined at the relevant time.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

88.     Adoption of a plan for future council investment in golf manages risk as well as increasing transparency and accountability.

89.     If the governing body and local boards follow the indicative business case process and decision-making framework, then there would be a low risk of legal challenge.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

90.     The Parks, Arts, Community and Events Committee to consider adoption of the plan in mid- 2022. The agenda report will include local board feedback.

Auckland Council’s Quarterly Performance Report: Howick Local Board for quarter three 2021/2022

File No.: CP2022/05780

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide the Howick Local Board with an integrated quarterly performance report for quarter three, 1 January – 31 March 2022.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       This report includes financial performance, progress against work programmes, key challenges the board should be aware of and any risks to delivery against the 2021/2022 work programme.

3.       The work programme is produced annually and aligns with Howick Local Board Plan outcomes.

4.       The key activity updates from this quarter are:

·        Young Enterprise Scheme

(Auckland Unlimited: Local Economic Growth work programme ID 1478)

·        Howick Youth: Facility and Programmes

(Customer and Community Services work programme ID 230)

·        Howick Schools Waste Minimisation Programme

(Infrastructure and Environmental Services work programme ID 666)

·        Macleans Park – install exercise equipment

(Customer and Community Services work programme ID 2390)

5.       All operating departments with agreed work programmes have provided a quarterly update against their work programme delivery. Activities are reported with a status of green (on track), amber (some risk or issues, which are being managed) or grey (cancelled, deferred or merged). The following activities are reported with a status of red (behind delivery, significant risk):

·        Barry Curtis Skatepark Custodian

(Customer and Community Services work programme ID 1614)

·        Howick LDI – Heritage – install interpretative signage

(Customer and Community Services work programme ID 17864)

·        Howick Recreation Centre – install a community notice board

(Customer and Community Services work programme ID 28336)

6.       Overall operating result for nine months of the year is tracking at 95 percent of the budget due to lower revenue and expenditure. The COVID-19 lockdowns impacted revenue from facility hire, leisure and recreation centres and libraries. Operating expenditure is below budget by $2.8 million as delays in work programmes and rescheduling of projects until later in the year resulted in lower operating spend. Capital delivery was $2.6 million against a $3.7 million budget. Delays in capital projects, increasing costs for construction materials and supply chain issues resulted in lower capital expenditure.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Key activity updates from quarter three

12.     The key activity updates from this quarter are:

·        Young Enterprise Scheme (Auckland Unlimited: Local Economic Growth work programme ID 1478). There was a good turnout for the Kick Start Day event from local high schools – Sancta Maria College 3, St Kentigern College 78, Ormiston College 36, Edgewater College 23, Macleans College 91, Pakuranga College 52.

·        Howick Youth: Facility and Programmes (Customer and Community Services work programme ID 230). The temporary youth facility managed by Te Tuhi and the Howick Youth Council has begun operating in the Botany Town Centre. Activations have been planned and run by youth.

·        Howick Schools Waste Minimisation Programme (Infrastructure and Environmental Services work programme ID 666). Despite Howick schools and Early Childhood centres being seriously disrupted by the COVID-19 Omicron outbreak in quarter three, 18 schools have completed plans for waste reduction by 40 per cent in 2022. They have received funding for materials to enable them to reduce waste and are currently working on implementing systems to achieve their goal. Our Waste Minimisation Howick Community Coordinator will be regular contact with schools to book their final waste audit in quarter four.

·        Macleans Park – install exercise equipment (Customer and Community Services work programme ID 23090). The project has been completed.

Activities with significant issues

13.     Barry Curtis Skatepark Custodian (Customer and Community Services work programme ID 1614). The reduced delivery of services during COVID lockdowns has led to a budget underspend of $25,000.

14.     Howick LDI – Heritage – install interpretative signage (Customer and Community Services work programme ID 17864). Investigations are underway but have been delayed due to local board consultations as well as Mana Whenua consultation prior to the commencement of design and delivery.

15.     Howick Recreation Centre – install a community notice board (Customer and Community Services work programme ID 28336). There is potential for the project to be delayed due to the need for building and resource consents.

Customer and Community Services

Barry Curtis Park – install shelter and covered seating

Budget increase

The delivery of the shelter and covered seating has come in over the allocated budget. The project manager has received quotes from numerous contractors and engineers to ensure we get the best price for this project and across all of them, there is still a budget shortfall.

Increase by $125,000

Customer and Community Services

Howick – LDI minor capex

 

Budget increase

The delivery of the half-pipe skate ramp has come in over the allocated budget. The project manager has received quotes from numerous contractors and engineers to ensure we get the best price for this project.

25.     This report informs the Howick Local Board of the performance for quarter three ending 31 March 2022.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

26.     Two activities have a direct Māori outcome focus:

·        Māori Engagement: Improving responsiveness to local Māori Howick (Customer and Community Services work programme ID 228). The marae continue to feel the impact of the pandemic and staff are working with and linking them into wider community networks. The Marae is still operating but is not at capacity.

·        Whakatipu i te reo Māori - we grow the Māori language Celebrating te ao Māori and strengthening responsiveness to Māori – Howick (Customer and Community Services work programme ID 1343). Howick Library have continued to connect and develop their relationship with Owairoa Marae and the Te Kakano programme. Planning is underway at all libraries for Matariki events and activities.

Financial implications

27.     This report provides an update of the board’s operating financial performance for nine months to 31 March 2022.There are no financial implications associated with this report.

Financial Performance

28.     Operating revenue of $2.2million is below the budget by $1.9 million due to a decrease in facility hire, less visits to leisure and creation centres and lower library services revenue.

29.     Operating expenditure of $18.5 million is below the budget by $2.8 million. In asset-based services, lower level of schedule maintenance was provided during lock down. Full facility maintenance resumed as normal in the third quarter.

30.     In Locally Driven Initiatives, expenditure is below budget by $319,000 as some projects were delayed by COVID-19 restrictions.

31.     Capital spend is $2.6 million against a budget of $3.7 million. Capital delivery was focused on local asset renewals programme.

32.     The Howick Local Board Financial Performance report is in Appendix B.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

33.     While the risk of non-delivery of the entire work programme is rare, the likelihood for risk relating to individual activities does vary. Capital projects for instance, are susceptible to more risk as on-time and on-budget delivery is dependent on weather conditions, approvals (e.g. building consents) and is susceptible to market conditions.

34.     The approved Customer and Community Services capex work programme include projects identified as part of the Risk Adjusted Programme (RAP).  These are projects that the Community Facilities delivery team will progress, if possible, in advance of the programmed delivery year. This flexibility in delivery timing will help to achieve 100 per cent financial delivery for the financial year if projects intended for delivery in the current financial year are delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.

35.     Information about any significant risks and how they are being managed and/or mitigated is addressed in the ‘Activities with significant issues’ section.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

36.     The local board will receive the next performance update following the end of quarter four (30 June 2022).

Local board feedback on Auckland Transport's proposed speed limit changes

File No.: CP2022/05770

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek local board feedback on Phase Three (previously called Tranche 2B) of Auckland Transport’s proposed speed limit changes.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.     Auckland Council and Auckland Transport have adopted the Vision Zero goal of eliminating road transport-related deaths and serious injuries (DSI) within the Auckland road network by 2050.

3.       Setting safe and appropriate speed limits that recognise the function, safety, design, and layout of roads is a fast and cost-effective way to reduce DSI. Evidence from changes made in 2020 demonstrates that safe and appropriate speed limits are effective in reducing road trauma.

4.       Auckland Transport is conducting a phased review of speed limits and recently completed public consultation on proposed Phase Three changes with the community. A list of changes proposed within this local board area is provided as Attachment A.

5.       Public consultation on changes proposed in Phase Three closed on 3 April 2022 and a summary of public responses is provided as Attachment B. Local boards are now invited to provide their feedback.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Howick Local Board:

a)      provide feedback on speed limit changes proposed as part of Phase Three of Auckland Transport’s Safe Speeds Programme.

 

Horopaki

Context

6.       Auckland Transport (AT) is Auckland’s road controlling authority. Part of this role is reviewing and ensuring that speed limits across Auckland are set at levels that are safe and appropriate for road function, safety, design, and their use.

Alignment with Central Government Policy

7.       Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency adopted a ‘Vision Zero’ approach to road safety in 2019 when it launched the ‘Road to Zero’ national strategy that aims to reduce the number of people killed and injured on New Zealand’s roads to zero by 2050.

Alignment with Auckland Council Policy

8.       Auckland Council is committed to road safety. The Auckland Plan envisages a transport network free of deaths and serious injuries by 2050. AT deliver the council’s policies in relation to transport. AT developed ‘Vision Zero for Tāmaki Makaurau’ in response to goals within the Auckland Plan and with the council’s Planning Committee’s direction (Resolution number PLA/2018/83).

9.       Since receiving endorsement from Auckland Council and from the Auckland Transport Board, Auckland Transport has progressively reviewed roads across Auckland and reduced speed limits on many roads.

10.     In this phase, the focus has been on town centres, roads near schools, high-risk rural roads, rural marae, and roads requested by the community.

11.     Public consultation on the Safe Speeds Programme Phase Three took place from 28 February - 3 April 2022, and included the following measures:

a)   flyer mailout to 340,257 properties and PO Boxes near roads where changes to speed limits are proposed

b)   advertising in the NZ Herald, community newspapers, specialist, and ethnic media

c)   radio advertising on Niu FM, Radio Samoa and Radio Waatea

d)   radio interviews and adlibs on Niu FM, Radio Samoa and Radio Waatea

e)   media releases

f)    social media campaigns

g)   an article published in OurAuckland

h)   translation of consultation materials into Te Reo Māori, Braille and NZ Sign Language

i)    flyers, posters and hardcopy FreePost feedback forms in multiple languages to every library and service centre in Auckland

j)    15 online webinars, including a Mandarin language webinar

k)   a community drop-in session on Aotea Great Barrier.

12.     The community was able to provide their thoughts via a number of channels:

a)   online via http://AT.govt.nz/haveyoursay

b)   a paper survey

c)   a web-based mapping tool

d)   emails direct to the Safe Speeds Programme Team

e)   at public hearings held on 6 April 2022.

13.     Local boards received localised reports on public feedback in early May (Attachment B) and now have the opportunity to provide feedback on Phase Three proposed speed limit changes within their local board area.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

14.     Auckland Transport manages more than 7,300 kilometres of roads for Auckland Council. This includes setting speed limits, and since ‘Vision Zero’ was adopted Auckland Transport has been progressively reviewing and amending speed limits. Changes have been made only after engaging with both the community and local boards.

15.     Auckland Transport’s first phase of reviewing and setting new speed limits was developing the Speed Limits Bylaw 2019 (under the Land Transport Act 1998) that enabled AT to set new speed limits for Auckland’s highest risk roads.

16.     The impact of the changes made in this bylaw have been significant and support the claim that by setting safe and appropriate speed limits in Auckland, we reduce community harm.

17.     Since 30 June 2020, in areas where speed limits were changed, fatal crashes have almost halved (down by 47 per cent) during the 18-month period since this action was taken.[5]

18.     This change was most significant on rural roads where roads with reduced speed limits recorded a 71 per cent reduction in fatal crashes and more than a 25 per cent reduction in serious injury crashes.

19.     In selected locations, speed limit changes are complemented by physical speed calming measures such as speed bumps, raised pedestrian crossings, kerb changes and road marking. These physical measures help reinforce the safe and appropriate speed limits and assist with pedestrians and cyclists crossing busy roads. Physical measures are installed based upon risk, with a focus on locations such as town centres, residential areas and roads near schools.

20.     It will take time to confirm that these trends are sustained, however this initial impact is promising and indicates the effectiveness of the ‘Vision Zero’ approach. Overseas data records a similar impact on harm reduction and Auckland Transport’s advice to local boards is that the programme is working and should be supported.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

21.     The primary climate change benefit of safe and appropriate speed limits is that they support and encourage greater take-up of walking, cycling and micromobility by reducing the risk to vulnerable road users, making these modes more attractive. This supports emissions reductions.

22.     In town centres where speed limits were reduced and safety improvements introduced during Phase One of speed limit changes, there has been strong positive feedback, with 19 per cent of people saying they now participate in at least one active mode (e.g., walking or cycling) more often since the projects have been completed. This is a direct contribution towards encouraging people to walk or cycle instead of using cars that produce carbon emissions.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

23.     Auckland Council is committed to road safety. The Auckland Plan envisages a transport network free of deaths and serious injuries by 2050. AT deliver the council’s policies in relation to transport. AT developed ‘Vision Zero for Tāmaki Makaurau’ in response to goals within the Auckland Plan and with the council’s Planning Committee’s direction (Resolution number PLA/2018/83).

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

Local impacts and local board views

24.     Auckland Transport has held workshops with local boards throughout the various phases of the Safe Speeds programme.

25.     Summaries of local submissions on changes proposed in Phase Three were provided to local boards in early May to inform their consideration of this topic.

26.     This report seeks feedback from the local board on the proposed speed limit changes within Phase Three of the Safe Speeds Programme.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

27.     Auckland Transport is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its broader legal obligations in being more responsive to and inclusive of Māori.

28.     AT’s Māori Responsiveness Plan outlines the commitment to 19 mana whenua iwi in Auckland to deliver effective and well-designed transport policy and solutions. AT also recognises mataawaka and their representative bodies and our desire to foster a relationship with them. This plan is available on the Auckland Transport website at https://at.govt.nz/about-us/transport-plans-strategies/maori-responsiveness-plan/#about

29.     Safe speeds make our roads safer for active road users, which encourages more people to walk, cycle and use public transport. Te Ora ō Tāmaki Makaurau is the well-being framework developed by the Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum in response to Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri. Safer roads contribute to more people walking or cycling, which in turn supports this framework developed by Mana Whenua.

30.     Waka Kotahi’s 2021 study ‘He Pūrongo Whakahaumaru Huarahi Mō Ngā Iwi Māori – Māori Road Safety Outcomes’ provides data demonstrating that Māori are disproportionately more likely to be hurt or killed on New Zealand roads. The Safe Speeds Programme is expected to result in significant positive impacts for Auckland’s Māori communities.

31.     Engagement with iwi at the AT northern, central and southern transport kaitiaki hui took place on the wider programme during 2021, and in early 2022 to introduce the Interim Speed Management Plan. Detailed engagement with individual rural marae as part of Phase Three commenced mid-2021 and is ongoing, with each marae typically requiring a tailored approach that takes into account localised safety issues.

32.     Mana whenua are, in general, supportive of the Safe Speeds Programme and positive safety, community and environmental outcomes arising through safe and appropriate speed limits. There is in particular strong engagement and support for the rural marae workstream which forms part of Phase Three.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

33.     Although there are no specific financial implications arising from local boards providing feedback on the Safe Speeds Programme this programme has considerable financial implications.

34.     In 2017, the social cost of road harm in Auckland was about $1.1 billion.[6] These costs are paid by all Aucklanders. There is the cost of health care for those injured and - for some - lifetime rehabilitation and support. There is a cost to families, businesses and the region of those who can no longer live and work as they did before due to road deaths and serious injuries.

35.     Reducing the harm caused by road accidents impacts on the community by reducing hospital costs, insurance costs and Accident Compensation Corporation costs all of which are of direct financial benefit to the communities that local boards represent.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

36.     Delays due to Covid-19 and lockdown in the Auckland Region have added complexity to both public consultation and implementation timelines. The following measures were undertaken to ensure a quality engagement process:

·    The consultation length was extended from four to five weeks.

·    The number of online events during the consultation was significantly increased.

·    Digital advertising spend was increased and included Mandarin language public webinars and social media advertising.

37.     Steps have also been taken to ensure flexibility in the implementation timeline.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

38.     The new speed limits are proposed to come into force at the end of November 2022.

39.     The November 2022 date may need to be revised due to the impacts of Covid-19 and to take into account consultation feedback. Local boards will be kept up to date if any changes are made.
