Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Howick Local Board:

a)      approve the application from Super Kool (NZ) Ltd to operate an ice cream van in the car park areas of Cockle Bay Reserve and Macleans Park for a period of three months (1 December 2022 to 28 February 2023) between 12pm and 6pm on weekends, public holidays, and school holidays.

 

Horopaki

Context

Macleans Park 

7.       67 The Esplanade, Eastern Beach, known as Macleans Park, is largely owned by the Auckland Council in fee simple as a classified recreation reserve, subject to the Reserves Act 1977. 

Cockle Bay Reserve 

8.       47R Shelly Beach Parade, Cockle Bay, known as Cockle Bay Reserve, is largely owned by the Auckland Council in fee simple as a classified recreation reserve, subject to the Reserves Act 1977.

Proposal

9.       SKNZ has requested landowner approval to operate an ice cream van within the car park areas of Macleans Park and Cockle Bay Reserve. The ice cream van will operate between 1 December 2022 and 28 February 2023, from 12pm to 6pm during weekends, school holidays (daily), and public holidays.

10.     There will be only one ice cream van in operation in the area at any one time. This van will roam around and stop in different areas as required – generally for no more than 30 minutes at a time. The van will also trade at the roadside in other locations. 

11.     The applicant will be required to have a valid mobile trading licence, which will be issued by Auckland Council’s regulatory department. This allows the applicant to trade in a public space.

Previous approval

12.     At the business meeting on 15 November 2021, the Howick Local Board approved an application for SKNZ to carry out this activity over the summer period, last year (Resolution number HW/2021/185).  

13.     Staff have not been made aware of any issues arising from the previous approval.  

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Specialist consultation 

14.     The Howick area facilities manager, parks and places specialist and street trading inspector have been consulted and have raised no concerns or objections to the renewal of this approval. 

Options

15.     If the board supports the application, this will enable SKNZ to trade from within the car park areas of the two parks. If the board declines the application, the applicant will not be able to trade from within the car parks and will only be able to trade from the roadside.  

16.     It is recommended that the Howick Local Board approves the application for the following reasons:

·   the ice cream van will add to the enjoyment of the parks, and;

·   the activity will not affect the use of the parks in any way, and;

·   the activity is temporary and is only for the summer months, and;

·   being able to use the beach car park area instead of the roadside will ensure greater safety for customers.

17.     Conditions that will be placed on the landowner approval if approved will include: 

·   the operator is responsible for satisfying all occupational health and safety legislation and regulations, and;

·   public liability insurance must be obtained, and; 

·   full reinstatement will be undertaken should any damage be done to the reserves, and; 

·   dates and times of operation must be limited to those specified, and;

·   ensuring the applicant controls litter, and;

·   ensuring the non-displacement of other park users.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

18.     The van being used by the applicant is a source of emission. However, emissions will be limited as the applicant’s engine will not be running whilst undertaking trading activities. 

19.     This project is not expected to have a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions. 

20.     This project is not expected to affect Auckland Council’s ability to adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

21.     As discussed above the relevant council specialists were consulted and are supportive of the proposal. Staff do not consider any other council departments or the council-controlled organisations ​to be impacted by the proposal.  

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

Local impacts and local board views

22.     The application is consistent with and supports the Howick Local Board Plan 2020 Outcome 1 by enabling people in our communities to feel safe, engaged and connected. It adds to the enjoyment of the reserves and allows the mobile trader to operate safely.

23.     Staff attended a workshop with the Howick Local Board on 30 September 2021 to discuss the previous approval. The board was supportive of the application.

24.     Staff attended a business meeting with the Howick Local Board on 15 November 2021 to discuss the previous approval. The board supported the granting of the landowner approval. 

25.     Staff recommended that the Howick Local Board support the renewal of the landowner approval on 19 July 2022. The Howick Local Board requested that staff attend a business meeting. 

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

26.     Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi which are outlined in council’s key strategic planning documents; the Auckland Plan, the Long-Term Plan 2021-2031, the Unitary Plan, and local board plans. 

27.     The operation of the ice cream van does not trigger any Treaty of Waitangi settlement issues or matters in relation to customary rights outcomes. In this matter, iwi consultation has not been undertaken by the applicant as there are no readily identifiable negative impacts on Māori. 

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

28.     There are no financial implications related to this application. 

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

30.     The proposed conditions are deemed appropriate, as no issues were raised following last year’s approval.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Ladies Probus Club of Howick Central

Legal status:

Informal group/ no legal structure

Activity focus:

Community

Project: Howick Central Ladies Probus

Location:

Howick Bowling Club, Selwyn Road, Howick

Summary:

Looking after the welfare of the ladies in this Probus Club.  Also, organsing donations of garments to KidzFirst and to the local Foodbank to assist the local community in this particularly difficult time for low income families.

Expertise:

For a number of years this Club has donated to various organisations, particularly every December, to assist local low income families in the hope that, especially at Christmas, their donations help ease the pressure on as many families as possible.  Experience has taught these ladies which items are appreciated both during the year and especially at Christmas time.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

It has become apparent that many families in the local community are suffering because of the effects of Covid and even though many of our members rely on Government Superannuation to support them, they are willing to make an effort to support the local foodbanks.  The Probus South Pacific Limited Constitution does not allow organisations to solicit funds but Probus Clubs are able to voluntarily support organisations of their choice.  Hence, the local foodbanks have become a priority for this Club at the present time.  Contionuing to support Kidz First has been a favourite charity for this club since its inception in 2003.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     People actively contribute to their community

 

The Committee of this Club actively support each and every member ensuring members who attend monthly meetings are fit and well and encouraged to remain in contact with the friends they have made in this group.  Members who do not attend meetings are contacted to enquire as to their health and current needs.  Many of these women have family living overseas and have very little family assistance available to them.  This Club is a lifeline for many of our ladies.  This is the primary focus of this Club.  Supporting groups such as Kidz First and the local Foodbanks is undertaken by these ladies on a regular basis.

·     None identified

 

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Any member who has a disability can still participate in helping the community by donating to local foodbanks and many are involved in the baby knitting project.  Assistance is provided to those who wish to go on trips as we always have a registered first aid officer in att4endance.

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*

None of our ladies smoke and are always open to suggestions as to a healthier lifestyle as living on their own does not give them the enthusiasm to experiment with healthy food options.  Having speakers e.g. Alison Gofton, a reputable cook and cookbook writer, is a very good way to educate our ladies about healthy food alternatives.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

The Ladies Probus Club of Howick Central is open to women of all ages, ethnicity and religion.  When the Club was established in 2003 women aged 50 plus joined, as did women who had retired and it was a way for like minded women to make friends and feel connected to the community.  In this day and age where many women work well beyond retirement age, women who are taking care of grandchildren to enable their parents to work, means membership numbers for all clubs is on the downturn.  We are very fortunate to keep our membership level relatively high and it is a credit to the Committees over the years who have worked extremely hard to provide a friendly and welcoming environment for their members.  Old age is not kind and it is important for elderly women who are still relatively independent to be able to meet and communicate with others of the same age on a regular basis.  The funding requested will allow this Club to hire a bus for one out of Auckland trip and one local trip only because as with everything, the cost of hiring a bus is extremely expensive.  Quotes for bus hire are not available until the actual location is chosen and the bus company estimates the cost of mileage, fuel and the cost of hiring a driver for the day.

 

Financial information

Amount requested:

$1000.00

Requesting grant for:

The funding assistance requested is to enable the Club to provide an outing for these ladies.  Due to the impact of Covid the cost of hiring a bus has become impossible as the funds available to the club by way of membership fees is extremely limited.  Many of these ladies rarely leave the Howick area and appreciate being taken somewhere different, even if only once a year if funds permit.

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

Due to Covid the Club's financial resources have suffered over the last 2 years with members not being able to attend meetings and therefore not being required to pay membership fees.  Assistance to help this group of ladies take a trip out of the Howick area  will put a spring in their step and will be a way of repaying them for their continuing support of local projects, e.g. Kidz First and Foodbanks in particular.

Cost of participation:

The cost of hiring a bus has increased to between $800 - $1000.

The funding required is to enable the Club to hire a bus to take our members on at least one outing out of the Auckland area during the year and one local trip in the Auckland area. In the past the Cub could organise two or three trips per year but given the increased cost in petrol and basic wage payments, only one trip out of Auckland per year is now possible.  It is really important to organise these events in the interests of our ladies health and mental wellbeing.

Expertise:

Lorelle Stranaghan (myself) has been the co-ordinator of the Pest Free Howick Ward project since 2019 (conception was in 2017 with a few events)  since coming onboard I have been instrumental in growing the project and rolling out many regular and well received events, establishing and fostering connections with community, local board, Auckland Council and Schools.  I am passionate and care deeply about this project.  The PFHW HUB we identified 2.5 years ago and I have been progressing this since this time with the Tūpuna Maunga Authority and our wider Pest Free Howick Ward team within Council.  I am also the co-ordinator for Trap Library East Auckland which is another enviromental group supporting PFHW with mustelid and possum traps.

Promotion:

All of our comms, collateral for events, facebook page, website etc all have Pest Free Howick Ward, A Howick Local Board funded project.  We invite the HLB members to our events and always thank them for their support when ever we are speaking publicly (and privately) we have the local board logo on all our presentations and correspondence.  We have flags  and pull ups and community noticeboard signs, all with local board logo on, and now we have our own local board flag in the new design.  We have purchased a gazebo with Howick Local Board funding last year, that has local board on it and Pest Free Auckland logos.  Please refer to our website www.pfhw.org.nz for many more examples

 

Environmental benefits:  Activate the space that is currently under utilised to prevent vandalism and anti social behaviour, to encourage community to enjoy the maunga responsibly, create a pest free halo for native birds, insects and reptiles to return and habitat.  Encourage and facilitate a regular connection for TMA and the Howick ward community with a welcoming HUB base and pest plant and pest animal action, build a community of volunteers ready to care and help protect our local maunga Pigeon Mountain Ōhuiarangi.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Our community wants to protect their environment and the recent kaka sightings in Cockle Bay & Farm Cove show efforts are working.
More native birds (ruru, tui, fantail, kaka) and backyard birds, insects and reptiles thriving with low pest numbers - this starts with our backgardens.  Volunteers and community interest is generated from seeing/hearing more birds in their backyard, they can see/hear the direct impact they are making from pest trapping efforts - it is extremely motivating!.  A welcoming PFHW HUB will be able to be utilised to expand this work and action.  Community can borrow tools & resources, other enviromental "Friends of" groups can use the space and work together with PFHW even more, pick up rat traps, attend workshops, upskill young people (via our cadetship programme), attend native plantings/restoration events, attend litter/rubbish cleanups, making a healthier, cleaner environment for us all, and enabling Howick ward community to take direct action and make a difference to our native bird population, as low pest numbers are established, native birds will fly across from the predator-free Hauraki Gulf islands and habitat in our gardens.  Howick ward is a natural bird corridor with our areas of ecological significance leading to the Hunuas.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Empower the community to take environmental action

Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki

with recent plantings and pest plant removal at Te Naupata Reserve we hope to build on this collaboration and invite young iwi members in to join our cadetship programme as it will not be just schools based and be able to operate out of the PFHW Hub in the weekends

Many Friends of Groups - based around parks eg. Friends of Macleans Reserve, Friends of Cockle Bay Domain

We already have connection with many of these groups, providing resources and advice, responding to requests etc. but our plan is for those groups to be able to use the HUB space as a meeting place or to host a workshop etc, for the environmental groups to feel supported and their long time efforts to be recognised.  A lot of these groups were existing before 2017 and Pest Free Howick idea was floated.

Howick Ward Schools via Sustainable Schools Auckland Council

Access to Eastern Enviroschools Clusters and teachers, students to continue to offer and build local pest free opportunties

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·    

As previously highlighted we are working with Tūpuna Maunga Authority to secure the lease of the cricket pavillion.  We will be working with Jordan Winiata the conservation advisor for Ōhuiarangi on establishing a pest free halo on Ōhuiaranga, as directed by them.  And building on past planting opportunities on the maunga and helping to build the connection between the TMA with the local community.  We also have recently been involved with plantings at Te Naupata Reserve with Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki and wish to involve them via Pest Free Plant and Animal workshops and our cadetship programme.  We would love to tell the stories of the past, and what life was once like on Ōhuiarangi, but only with TMA approval

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Drive way up to the building, toliets on site that are large council owned facilities, we could insall a ramp for a wheel chair possibly, door is not wide enough to get wheel chair in but if we changed the windows to a sliding door we could accomodate.  If this was deemed as a requirement we would need to allow for more money for the sliding door, building consent to change the opening size and to make a ramp to the verandah.  Open to ensuring wheelchair access if HLB require.  Certainly accessible for our outdoor events.

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*

One of the other projects I co-ordinate is the Howick Local Board funded Howick Ward Schools Waste Minimisation Project (first year was 2019/2020)  This project enables 25 (some new, some continuing) schools each year to minimise their waste by 40% by providing funding and advice based of analysis of school waste audit data and the plans and existing resources the schools may or may not have.  We promote this project and live this concept ourselves and  have purchased a worm bin, and recycling/sorting bins for the HUB already.  We also offer for the last 2 years to our waste minimisation Howick Ward schools - Carbon Footpring Accounting - this is a pilot for Auckland and we are one of the first for NZ.  We have a carbon footprint expert Nigel Zhang (also our PFHW Chinese community engagement conservation advisor) who was a Carbon Footprint Auditor for United Nations.
Our outdoor activities and encouragement of our community to be out in nature and to help nature are proven to be excellent for human connections, health, and vitality.  Volunteering opportunities are excellent for people's mental health.  Aside from the many plantings at schools and parks we currently facilitate, we will be onsite at Ōhuiarangi and will be able to offer direct activities and training opportunities to our community onsite and regularly with the Pest Free Halo at Ōhuiarangi and the restoration plantings on the maunga that TMA organise, and we promote to our community and schools.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$67333.00

Requesting grant for:

Building maintenance, repairs, renewals and heat pump - our lease with TMA is peppercorn lease and a condition is that they are not responsible for any building maintenance.  As you will note from the photos and the building report the building condition is pretty grim, not suitable for use by the public to the extent that we would like to  - thoughout winter it is very cold, though summer it is very hot, hence the heat pump addition & opening windows with glass for natural light (chosen sliding windows for safety concerns with eye level opening windows on the verandah)

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

Yes we will still go ahead with the lease, but we would have to cut back to the "must have" part of the building maintenance report - itemised on schedule and we would have to apply to other funding opportunities and the rollout of the HUB would be significantly delayed.  The HUB co-ordinator role will take a lot longer to get up and running and the role not able to be maximised, the building is not suitable for use by the public currently.

Cost of participation:

No not at this stage and not till building is up to scratch and operational. No immediate plans for any entry fee/ticket type arrangement

Please note that while we have received signifcant funding and support from HLB and NETR these funding amounts are dedicated to specitic outcomes, we cannot use the funding to spend on CAPEX / building maintenance - hence the need for this dedicated grant.

The Depot, Sir Lloyd Drive, Lloyd Elsmore Park, Highland Park, Auckland

Summary:

To operate our After School, School Holiday and Community Day Programmes for children and adults aged through 5 to 65 with disabilities/special needs. We provide a community service that promotes a sense of belonging to a child/adult with a disability and provide quality focused and fun respite services within the community to those that are our most vulnerable.

Expertise:

LifeKidz Trust has been in operation for over 19 years, many of our staff have been with us for over 10 years.  We run training programmes for all our staff prior to all holiday programmes and put a lot of time into ensuring all of our staff are up to date with all aspects of what can be involved with working at LifeKidz.  We have some extremely challenging children in our programmes so on-going training is very important to us all.

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:

 

·     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.  
It is encouraging, rewarding and promotes a sense of belonging. To ensure the children and adults in our programmes feel wanted within their and all other communities. 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 and adults. To support the wellbeing of all our clients and families within the disability sector in a positive sense. To encourage participation in cultural and sporting activities and events especially within our local area.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - 95% of our children have a life time disability.
All the children and adults that attend our programmes have a long term (lifetime) disabilities. Without our programmes and facilities they may have no where else to go! Many of our clients require 1:1 care to ensure their safety and well being, those that attend are
the most vulnerable members within our communities.

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*

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.

The funding if granted would go towards our Support Workers wages, without these amazing people we would not be able to support all the families that we can at present.

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

We would try and fundraise for these items, this is very difficult at present with everyone struggling with the cost of living and expenses on the increase.  It may also mean that we would not be able to accept as many children into the programme, meaning families would not get the respite that so desperately need.

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: Elder Support Program

Location:

Summary:

The initiative's main goal is to plan activities for our senior members so they feel included and develop their social intelligence. In order to foster personal growth, mutual support, and a sense of belonging, we connect people in the community in ways that allow them to express themselves. Workshops on nutrition, exercise, and physical and mental health are regularly held. Numerous festival celebrations and cultural activities are planned in addition to these programmes to foster a sense of identity among pupils. Additionally, annual picnics and outings are planned. To ensure that none of our members face any barriers in taking part in these programmes and activities, we provide subsidised transportation choices.

Expertise:

For the past 25 years, Bhartiya Samaj has been assisting the neighbourhood. We have developed a great deal of expertise in planning these workshops and programmes throughout the years. Since the beginning, we have had a committed team of volunteers assisting us in running effective programmes.

The benefits expected from the project are: 
• Enhancing the quality of life of the elderly within the community 
• Alliance and communal support 
• Create well connected and strong communities
 • Improve social quotient and confidence 
• Overall well-being and emotional assistance 
• Social and cultural identity

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     People actively contribute to their community

 

The project's primary goal is to motivate our senior members to participate fully in the community. Many of our senior members are immigrants, and they require help adjusting to their new environments. We constantly encourage children to feel a part of the community in order to forge stronger bonds, improve connectedness, and foster a greater sense of independence. They are provided with a forum free from bias where they can express their ideas and improve society.

Project: An Safe and Playful Sandpit

Location:

6 Glenside Avenue, Pakuranga, Auckland

Summary:

Our current sandpit cover is shrinking and ripping with years of serving. Cats, dogs and wasps are taking advantage of this and leaving a health and safety issue to our tamariki. The storage box has a loose lid which may close when children taking sand toys. Besides, sand level has been getting low with years play. We’re going to change the sandpit cover, exchange the storage box and top up the sand.

Expertise:

We have visited several other Playcentre. And this sandpit cover storage is recommended by  Papatoetoe Playcentre.

Dates:

13/06/2022 - 31/10/2022

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

We’re having been operating for over 60 years with having many families joining our center. We have grandparents who used to be members and now join with their grant children. Our members comes from a wide range of culture and kbackgrounds.
Our motto is “Whanau tutu ngatahi - families growing together”. Children have a good place here to play and learn with families around.  Amongst all the 16 curriculum areas, Sandpit is one of our most beloved palace for our tamariki and also one of the area that parents/grantparents are more confident to engaging with tamariki to play.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     People actively contribute to their community

 

Playcentre is a community group run by parent/caregiver volunteers. Unlike a playgroup, here at Playcentre, we’re a united group that we care for everyone including the adult and tamariki. We invite all family with children age between 0-6 to attend with only 35nzd per family termly donation. And we also encourage the tamariki to get in touch with the community by inviting the St John’s, Fire Engine, Bunnings to visit our centre. A well placed and safe area will greatly encourage new member to join and children to play here.

Playcentres honours Te Tiriti o Waitangi.  We promote Te Reo and tikanga and weave them in our play. Sand play is one of the way of promoting natural play. During sand play, we weave in Te Reo, such as “how about we add more awa’ or ‘I see you’re making an manga”. We also cook hangi in the sandpit during the Whanau night.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our building has ramps for accessibility. Besides, we’re mindful for all play areas to be accessible to all children including babies that are not walking which means it is accessible to people with walking disabilities.

Healthy environment approach:

Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

Playcentre promote natural resource play which means we use sand, water, leaves, rocks and other element to find in the nature as children toys. It helps to cultivate the image of toys and reduce the waste. 
In the sandpit, digging, transporting, mixing and other movements are naturally engaged. And as sandpit is outdoor, the open area gives opportunity for children to be active and leverage the other equipment near by for being active.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

The project focus on educating tamaki ages from 0-6.  
Besides Playcentre recognize parents as the most important kaiako. Parents/caregivers are given early child care theory and practice guidance and they can use them when interacting with children in the sandpit.

In previous years we have hosted over 20,000 visitors at this event including local communities and visitors from across the region. It is an important pre-Christmas event in the area and allows Howick Village businesses to provide enticing promotions for young and old. Funding assistance is important to HVA from Howick Local Board to provide traffic management for the safe closure of roads and management of attendees and participants at the event.

Location:

Howick Squash Club, 41R Meadowland Drive, Somerville, Auckland

Summary:

Our current projector which was initially supplied with our Interactive Squash Tool is failing and is very faint and can only be used with the lights off . We need to replace the projector.

The projector is being purchased direct from Panasonic with the specifications required by the German company who originally installed Interactive Squash. A builder will be hiring the scissor lift to gain access to where the old one is installed and replace with the new projector.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Interactive Squash is utilised by the schools. We extensively use this tool for all our After School Programs and School Holiday Programs. New members use this tool to train and get familiar with the game. It also benefits the very young children teaching them coordination and developing other skills.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

Interactive Squash assists in running programs as a training and coaching aide. In particular it helps more junior players connect with the game of squash by using games and training modules to keep their attention and give them targets. Interactive squash also has training modes for players to use this tool to train by themself or another player. Even those who do not play squash can be actively involved and makes them active.

Requesting grant for:

The club initially paid up to $80,000 for the whole installation of Interactive Squash as it was imported from Germany and we were the first installation in the Southern Hemisphere. As we have had other major repairs this year some assistance in helping us fund this financially would be of great benefit.

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

We would need to use our reserves which are set aside for future development of our courts or look at other means of trying to raise the funds as the projector is at the end of its life.

Dance Therapy NZ

Legal status:

Incorporated Society, Charitable Trust

Activity focus:

Arts and culture

Project: STARS Pakuranga

Location:

Te Tuhi, 13 Reeves Road, Pakuranga

Summary:

STARS is a dance-based therapeutic programme that has been designed to support the development of children and teenagers on the Autism Spectrum (and with related disorders including Dyspraxia, ADHD, Anxiety, Pervasive Developmental Disorders, and developmental delays). The goal of this programme is to help young people to develop skills (like communicative ability, creative self-expression, social skills, self-soothing, motor skills and coordination) that will enable them to participate more readily and actively in their home and school. Sessions are provided weekly for eight weeks, with six to eight children each term. STARS provides a sense of community, creating an opportunity for tamariki to participate in, and benefit from, Dance Movement Therapy in the presence of trained Dance Movement Therapists.

Expertise:

Dance & Arts Therapy NZ (DTNZ) has been running since 2010, gaining charitable trust status in 2013. 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 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.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

STARS offers the extra support that our participants require in order to develop verbal language, communication and social skills, emotional literacy, reduced anxiety and tantrums, increased ability to focus and actively partake in school activities, developmental movement and sensory integration. We anticipate 160 visits to STARS Pakuranga between July 2022 - June 2023, which is reflective of a dip in participants due to the impact of COVID-19. We had 50 visits across Terms 3 and 4 last year, and have the capacity to run these sessions online should Tamaki Makaurau return to lockdown. 
 
To enrich the community, it's vital that participants feel confident exercising these skills outside of the programme with their whanau, at school, and in any other community setting (after-school activities etc.) STARS allows 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

 

Our weekly STARS Pakuranga sessions will continue to run on Wednesdays (in line with school terms) from 3.45 to 4.45pm at the Te Tuhi Arts Centre, for children between the ages of 8 - 12 years old.
 
This group caters to children in our community with special needs and disabilities, including those on the Autism Spectrum and with cognitive developmental delays. We embrace and value this population, giving them the opportunity to participate in the arts, all under the guidance and support of highly experienced and qualified Dance Movement Therapists. Our co-lead facilitators, Tanvi Rodrigues and Brittany Kohler, have developed strong relationships with the children in this group and their respective whānau. As our participants continue to return each term, the sense of community, connection and trust between them and our therapists have continued to thrive. We have seen real progress in children's wellbeing, self-confidence, communication and social skills, coordination and overall development.
 
A growing field in Aotearoa, Dance Movement Therapy allows young people (who might have difficulty partaking in mainstream dance groups) to come together, express their emotions, be active, listen to music, and learn new skills to enhance their wellbeing. These skills include improved motor function, increased mobility, self confidence, communication and self-soothing skills. 
 
During COVID-19 this has been an exceptionally difficult time for children with special needs and disabilities (and their families), as they are faced with repeated change to routine. Our aim is to be a pillar for this community, and an activity the children can look forward to each week, no matter what is going on outside! We can always host our STARS Pakuranga sessions online if need be. This programme also allows the families or carers of those with special needs to enjoy a moment of respite, furthering the wellbeing of all those involved in the disabled community.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - STARS caters to the unique needs of those with disabilities and special needs – these wonderful people are our focus. Accordingly, the project has been developed with specialised considerations taken into account including: sensory (light, volume of music, colours of props), privacy (minimal visible distraction outside the room) and a higher team-participant ratio (so that 1-on-1 support can be provided to clients, if needed, without disrupting flow of the session).

Healthy environment approach:

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

All of our workshops will be held in a smoke-free environment at a smoke-free venue. Each workshop will be designed and led by trained arts therapists to promote mental, emotional and physical wellbeing, which contributes to helping people live healthy, smoke-free lives. We also try to recycle as much as possible. The therapy team are encouraged to invite participants to contemplate and engage with nature as much as possible.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

The Howick Pakuranga Cricket Club. is a community club and continues to prioritize its contribution to the well-being of the East Auckland community. Locals schools, midget, junior, youth and women’s cricket are on going priorities for the club. Mutually cooperative activities with other codes, community groups and activities, including the sharing of our resources and facilities, are also on going priorities for the club. As the East Auckland community has become multi cultural in its makeup, so to has the Howick Pakuranga Cricket Club.
In the early 2000s, following a deliberate arson attack, the Howick Pakuranga Cricket Club clubrooms had to be completely rebuilt. The club leaders took the bold step to include a 3 lane Indoor Cricket Practice Centre on the ground floor of the new clubrooms as part of the rebuild. Their foresight has been of huge benefit to the club, to local schools and to the community.
As to be expected, this constant heavy use over the past 20 years has taken its toll on the Centre and along with improved health and safety standards requirements, triggered the need to undertake a major upgrade project to maintain the facility.

Project: Ongoing Youthline Helpline support for Howick youth under COVID

Location:

Youthline House 145 St Georges St, Papatoetoe, Auckland

Summary:

We are requesting $7,500 as a contribution to the Howick share of the $8,038 of the annual budgeted cost of $94,036 to provide Triage/clinical support and leadership for our volunteer counsellors who staff the Youthline Helpline in support of young people in the area. 
Clinical triage staff support, mentor and supervise our Helpline volunteer counsellors, and have responsibility for ensuring the safety of young people who contact us.
COVID-19 has increased the demand for our services to a significant degree, changed the nature and increased the complexity of the issues presented and placed additional pressure on our already stretched resources. This demand is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

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.

Promotion:

The Youthline Helpline is promoted and marketing across a wide range of media including the Youthline website, Facebook page and various promotional activities. We have an extensive communications contact plan in place.
We will publicly acknowledge the local board’s contribution in the Youthline Annual Report, on our website, in social media and on our promotional material.

 

 

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.
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 3,832 young people from Howick needed our help, with COVID 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.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

Youthline has been supporting rangatahi and their families for over 50 years. Our kaupapa/purpose is to strengthen wellbeing through youth voice and youth choice such that young people are empowered within their communities.
We are well known as “the number one place for young people to reach out to for support”.  76% of young people are aware of Youthline and 17% of young people have contacted us for help (Colmar Brunton 2021). 
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 have 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 going forward.
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. Even though we are now in the Orange setting the need for vigilance remains. 
In essence, for our young people there has been no relief from the stresses and strains of COVID for over 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:

·    

Youthline provides support services to young people in need across the ethnic spectrum. Last year 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. 19.7% of our mentoring and face-to-face counselling clients are Māori and 12% of our staff 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.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - All our services and facilities are accessible to people with disabilities.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages

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.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

As a “with youth, for youth, by youth” organisation Youthline is commited to supporting all rangatahi with a focus on ages 12-24 years. We have a strong commitment to diversity recognising that our minority communities, including Maori, Pasifika and Rainbow youth, disproportionately experience mental health issues and are less likely to seek help.
A strategic priority is to hold an equity focus on Maori, Pasifika, Rainbow, Asian, Migrant and Refugee youth and young people with disabilities.
We are advocates for youth focus, youth voice and youth choice and providing leadership to ensure young people are prioritised and invested in. Recognising and addressing inequities and upholding safety is very important to us.

 

Financial information

Amount requested:

$7500.00

Requesting grant for:

We are requesting $7,500 as a contribution to the Howick share of $8,038 of the annual costs of $94,036 to provide triage support for our volunteer counsellors who staff the Youthline Helpline and support local rangatahi. 
Over two years after the first lockdown, the stress and anxiety that young people felt as a result of COVID remains for many as an underlying condition and exacerbated by the  Omicron outbreak and recent restrictions. 2022 is proving to 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 continue to 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 providing triage clinical support for our essential volunteer Helpline counsellors who, under COVID-19, continue to support large numbers 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 clinical support of our volunteer counsellors is essential to ensure best practice and their own mental wellbeing.

Activity focus:

Sport and recreation

Project: Junior Development Program

Location:

Howick Local Board

Summary:

The project has two components, getting our Development Coach coaching into the community including an after school program running at the Pakuranga Community Hall and a Tables In Communities Project which is designed to build a new permanent network of tables in the community to provide free access and allow families to connect with their children on an equitable basis and to connect everyone in the community through a Seekapong App which links all table sites. It also attracts people into community hall, libraries, parks, malls etc boosting the local community in a way that goes beyond sport.

Promotion:

Through posters, flyers, web page, facebook and Seekapong App, we would thank the local board on our facebook page.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Closer families
Safer communities
More active children
Greater physical and mental health of young people in the community

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

Traditional sporting delivery is not responding to the needs of the local community, those facing time pressure, lack of money, travel as well as limited facility capacity are missing out on sport as well as connection to others in the community.  This has a huge impact on the physical and mental health of our children as well as the wellbeing and safety of our community and downstream results in very high costs and poor long term outcomes.  This project changes the delivery mechanism by building a permanent long term network of tables in the community that not only allow sport but allow connection and attract people to local community services, libraries, malls, parks, community halls to strengthen the fabric of the community and provide free equitable access to sport and to others in the community, the benefits of which go way beyond sporting access.

Highbrook Regional Watersports Centre Trust

Legal status:

Charitable Trust

Activity focus:

Sport and recreation

Project: Highbrook Regional Watersports Centre - pontoon etc insurance

Location:

Lady Fisher Place (off 52 Waiouru Rd) East Tamaki, Auckland 2013

Summary:

We seek funding of insurance to cover Material Damage and Third Party Liability for all-tide pontoon at a cost of $4442 (excl GST) plus Material Damage/Natural Hazards for the future infrastructure of around $7,000 (excl GST). As a very new voluntary organisation, the HRWC Trust will need assistance from third parties as it establishes itself and can create cashflow. Our objective is to remove all cost barriers to participation. In this, we are proposing a significant community benefit through a significant community asset.

Expertise:

Members of the ARA/AROCA Highbrook Users Group (HUG) have experience in delivering projects of this type (e.g. property development, architecture, engineering, governance and financial management. This project has been conceived by ARA/AROCA with active stakeholder support and without seeking to involve external professionals. Notably, Goodman Group,(the developers of Highbrook Industrial Park) have backed the project by donating the professional services and know-how required to obtain the required resource consents and coastal permit approvals. ARA/HUG has delivered the first two stages of this HRWC project costing some $2.5 million. It has used its own resources to manage and deliver design/specification/procurement of the site development and building enabling works undertaken to date.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The Highbrook Regional Watersports Centre (HRWC) is unique in that it provides its users with access to the Tāmaki River from the south-east (Highbrook) side. Most users of the Tāmaki River are located on the north-west (Panmure) side. Watersports club facilities located on the north-west side are over-populated ('bursting'), and Highbrook will provide much needed additional capacity to service the growing population on the Howick side of the river. The pontoon at Highbrook provides Howick region based users of the HRWC with all-tide access to rowers, waka ama paddlers and other code users of all ages and experience. Auckland Council via its Local Board, as well as other Local Boards in the wider area have already contributed significant funds to the project's $2.5 million invested to date. They have done so because they recognise the benefits the HRWC will ultimately provide the local sub-regional community once it is completed and commences operation.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

The ARPASS report of 2008 identified the Highbrook site as the only viable all-tide entry point to the Tāmaki River on its south bank. Cost of participation was identified as a key barrier to young people being able to access water sports such as rowing and waka ama through either schools or community groups. With significant support from Auckland Council through the Howick Local Board and other philanthropic bodies an investment of $2,500,000+ has been made, bringing the facility to the point where it can shortly be operationalised. We expect the connections to Council and other services to be completed in October. Once in operation we need cashflow to support regularly occurring operating costs such as power, water, sewerage and insurance. We want to become operational while at the same time reducing to an absolute minimum the direct cost to users. This is how we intend to address the cost barriers to participation already identified by Council and others.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·    

Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Kaiwhakahaere, James Brown, led the sod-turning and blessing at the beginning of the Highbrook project. AROCA is largely a Māori and Pasifica entity and they have been directly involved in the conceptualisation and planning of the facility until recent times when they have stepped back a little to allow governance responsibility to fall on constituent waka ama clubs. The HRWC Trust has five trustees - one represents Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki interests as mana whenua and another represents constituent wake ama clubs. All trustees are committed to the wider watersports kaupapa of HRWCT.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Both waka ama and rowing have specific "Adaptive" programmes within their training and competition frameworks. These facilitate participation at all levels for people with disabilities. We have a quotation for completion of a disabled access ramp to the ablution block. The floating pontoon and jetty facilitate natural access for physically disabled athletes.

Healthy environment approach:

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

The kaupapa of both rowing and waka ama are grounded in healthy lifestyles and physical exercise. Having many groups operating from this site will inhibit the activities of a social element that currently abuses the site and creates a significant nuisance for neighbouring businesses and Council and contractor staff.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

The Highbrook facility will be available to all ages, genders, ethnicities and attributes. However, the preponderate numbers are likely to tend towards the younger group. A priority is to establish access for disabled groups.

 

Financial information

Amount requested:

$3000.00

Requesting grant for:

We are seeking a significant contribution to annual insurance costs inherent in offering a community asset to community users at the least possible cost to the user (so as to remove as far as possible the identified cost barrier to participation in watersports such as rowing and waka ama). The current indicative annual cost, including Fire Service levies, is $14,345 excl GST

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

We are unable to amend the plan because an estimated insurance premium is essentially a fixed annual cost applied to HRWCT which must be paid if liabilities are to be covered. Other funds would need to be raided. Since we are a very new entity we do not have such funds. We would have to seek funding donations elsewhere.

Eastern Stars Band Incorporated

Legal status:

Incorporated Society

Activity focus:

Arts and culture

Project: 2022 Eastern Stars Band Program

Location:

Pakuranga Intermediate

Summary:

The Eastern Stars Band Program consists of weekly rehearsals throughout the year in preparation for a number of concerts and event performances. No matter their background or age, members have the opportunity to learn from each other and more skilled musicians in a welcoming and tight-knit community. Our performances at our own concerts as well as in the community, such as on ANZAC day, at Santa parades, and the National Concert Band Festival, provide members with the opportunity to gain exposure and experience on stage and provide a great source of entertainment for the community.

Expertise:

Eastern Stars has a long history of performances within the community and has been well-received in our other appearances in a variety of settings, from local Christmas parades to retirement home shows. We have rehearsed and performed in the local area for years and have a dedicated team of volunteers who have experience in organising concerts and other events. This will allow us to quickly and efficiently make use of any funds granted to deliver high-quality education services to band members and the local community.

Dates:

01/10/2023 - 01/07/2023

People reached:

% of participants from Local Board

Promotion:

We will include a notice of the Howick Local Board's support on all advertising materials, including any posters or flyers circulated in the community. We will further acknowledge the board's support during the concert itself alongside the usual introductory procedures.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Eastern Stars provides musical education to band members in the form of large concert band rehearsals as well as smaller-scale workshops. We encourage members to diversify their musical skills through additional opportunities like jazz workshops and chamber groups.
The expected community benefits are:
- Increased musical skills of all band members
- Showcase concerts for the entertainment of the community as well as to provide practical experience to band members. Parents assist in administrative duties such as door sales.
- Fundraising for causes such as the Red Cross's work in Ukraine
- Increased musical literacy and exposure in the Howick community in general

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

The Eastern Stars Band provides musical education and performance opportunities to students at a variety of ages and from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. These students are coached throughout the year in regular, weekly rehearsals to improve their level of playing ability and improve the musical accomplishment of Howick's local community. They rehearse in preparation for a series of public concerts planned for every season, as well as for participating in community events such as ANZAC day, Santa parades, and the New Zealand Concert Band Festival.
 
Many of our members are immigrants from diverse cultural backgrounds, and some are not able to afford tuition on their own despite their evident musical talent. We provide scholarships for those in hardship so that they can continue their musical development even when their financial circumstances otherwise prevent them from doing so. As a result, the Eastern Stars Band has a strong culture of fostering the musicianship of young students and many of our members now occupy well-respected roles within the musical community of wider Auckland.
 
We are committed to providing this service even through the difficulties of COVID-19. During the repeated lockdowns of 2020-2021, when it became impossible to rehearse in person, we organised online workshops and put together a band recording in lieu of a public concert. When we are in person, we take precautions to keep band members safe including encouraging sanitary behaviour and social distancing rules.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - The venues chosen for rehearsal and performance are accessible for those with mobility disabilities and have no stairs. We aim to make music available to as many as possible, including in our choice of venue.

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

Performance and rehearsal venues are smoke-free. Band members, many of whom are still young students, are encouraged to enjoy a healthy pastime learning music rather than drinking and smoking. We always ensure we clean up after each rehearsal and concert and recycle as much as possible. We encourage the use of plates and cups that do not add to landfill.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Eastern Stars particularly supports the musical development of children and teenagers, as many schools have difficulty pooling together the number of musicians required to form a proper concert band. However, we also cater for adults and senior musicians who are interested in getting back into music or starting a new instrument and are having difficulty finding an opportunity to do so.
 
In particular, we support a number of musicians from the Samoan community who have difficulty affording instruments and membership fees for other bands with our scholarships for rental and membership fees. We also have a many Chinese and New Zealand European members, resulting in a very diverse band makeup. In addition to our usual music education services, we provide a space for immigrants and members of different backgrounds to mingle and discover a shared community in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$17000.00

Requesting grant for:

Funding is requested for assistance in paying for the services of our musical directors to rehearse the Eastern Stars bands in the lead up to the concert as well as their commission on the day. Our conductors are essential for shaping the musical vision and discipline of the concert band and cannot afford to provide her services without some compensation. We also request assistance with the hiring fees for the rehearsal venue and the performance venue. These administrative costs are significant and we are unable to fully cover the cost of these administrative costs while keeping music education affordable.

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

We would change our performance or rehearsal venue to a lower-cost option to save costs, and may cut down on rehearsals to reduce conductor's fees. We may also increase ticket costs in order to recoup more of the costs of the project, although this may make it less accessible to the community. Overall it would be difficult for the band to function without at least the conductor's fees and rehearsal venue hireage, and it would not be fair or ethical to ask conductors to work without compensation.

Cost of participation:

$15 tickets at concerts, membership fees of $60 a term for administrative costs such as hall hire

Project: Injury Prevention

Location:

Howick Plunket Clinic, 117 Picton Street, Howick

Summary:

We are seeking funding support to purchase car seat resources for our Injury Prevention Team who regularly visit whānau in east Auckland’s suburbs to follow up on referrals from our Plunket nurses. One area of high need in east Auckland is the provision of car seats and boosters for whānau who do not have the means to purchase their own.  In these cases, our team will loan or give a family the resources they need as well as provide expert advice on how to properly fit the seat or booster.

Expertise:

For many years, Whānau Āwhina Plunket has been at the forefront of ensuring children are safe on our roads.  Our team of qualified experienced car seat techs assist approximately 500 families across Auckland and Northland each year.  We know that approximately 60% of tamariki are not in correctly installed car seats or not in a car seat at all and we expect this to increase as whānau struggle after COVID.  We are seeing an increase in referrals, and it is imperative that we continue to provide car seat resources for high-needs families.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

There are many reasons why a family may not have access to proper car restraints for their children, but our goal is to simply make sure that children are kept safe in vehicles.  
Our team’s ability to react quickly to the most dire of circumstances highlights the need to have resources on hand.  Unfortunately, many of our referrals are to support women with children who need to leave dangerous or harmful family situations, so we need to be prepared to transport children safely.
The following is feedback from the Tāmaki Makaurau Pacific Responsiveness Workgroup who facilitated a checkpoint this year.
“A massive thank you to our Plunket lead Simone, AT lead Lauren, RPT Sergeant Ben, Constable Mataiasi, and your amazing teams for [supporting our check point].  We checked 27 seats and gave away 4 donated seats. We were able to work collectively together in preventing death and injury as well as ensuring everybody can be safe and feel safe.  The positive engagement with the community at our child restraint checkpoint is a testament to the impact we have when working together to achieve better outcomes.”

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

Ensuring the health and safety of pēpi and tamariki is a priority for Whānau Āwhina Plunket. By continuing to provide free support services to whānau, we help to ensure that the wellbeing of families is enhanced and communities are connected. Support from the Howick Local Board will help our Injury Prevention team to continue the important work they do in the community.

The Rotary Club of Pakuranga has been managing this event successfully for a number of years now.    We have a myriad of experienced volunteers who have managed this event in previous years and continue to work with new volunteers to ensure this event continues 
 to be successful.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

This event brings large numbers of people to Bramley Reserve and encourages families to view the reserve as an area that they can use on a regular basis.   Pakuranga Rotary has already worked with the local board in developing Bramley reserve to better serve the community with the addition a BBQ area and a children's playground. The Rotary Walkway, which passes through the reserve, has been a long term Council/Rotary Club project and is a well used facility.
 
In addition Pakuranga Rotary has most recently been working with the Arts and Culture team of Auckland City Council to develop a public work of art in the immediate vicinity.  This will be unveiled in September 2022 enhancing the walkway and promoting healthy outdoor experiences for the community.
 
On the day families will enjoy time spent together, not only with children and grandparents, but also meeting up with friends for lots of fun activities in a safe environment.  
 
Funds raised during this event are put back into the community where they are most needed.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     People actively contribute to their community

This is a community based event that uses Rotary volunteers, in conjunction with the Local Board grant, in order to raise funds that will be released back into the community where they are needed most.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Bramley Reserve is a flat and accessible grass and concrete area that should not impede wheelchair access.  There are public toilets available that are also wheelchair accessible.

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*

The carnival promotes healthy exercise through walking to and from and during the event. The carnival and reserve will be smoke free - signage will be in place to make it clear to people attending the event. Food outlets will have healthy choice items along with water for sale. We will ensure waste is sorted, recycled and bagged accordingly.  By promoting the carnival to the community in a way that encourages walking/cycling to the event reduces our carbon footprint on the day.  The reserve lends itself to a healthy environment with grass, trees and beach front close to natural tidal waterways. We have arranged for Counties Manukau Life Education to be on site with their mascot Harold the Giraffe promoting heathy life style choices, which is one of many messages delivered to schools within the local board.

Between 60 and 100 athletes of all ages and abilities attend each week. Tasks include advertising/event promotion, participant registration, traffic marshalling and health and safety, time keeping, result compilation and the provision of refreshments and spot -prizes. The club’s Junior Track and Field section has extensive experience organising and running track and field competitions including hosting annual community ‘Have A Go Days’ for new athletes, the Pakuranga Open Day (an Athletics

Feedback on 2019 event from Roxanne Bakke, Dick's wife:
I wanted to drop you a line to thank you again for all the work you did on the meet on Saturday and for honouring Dick in that special way. It was a beautiful day and it was great to see so many young people and their families at the track for some good exercise
and racing! Dick's brother and sister came up from the Waikato for the day and they also enjoyed it! I hope the day was successful for the club as well!  Thank you all so much!

Auckland Ice Figure Skating Club Incorporated

Legal status:

Incorporated Society

Activity focus:

Sport and recreation

Project: Training from October 2022 thru to January 2023

Location:

Paradice Ice Skating , 490 Ti Rakau Drive, Botany

Summary:

Training for our synchronized ice skating teams from October 2022 thru to mid January 2023. Ice needs to be hired from Paradice Botany so we can train effectively on ice that is not available to other skaters. 
In Term Four we refocus our teams and work on skills that will allow teams to look at moving through the grades in the 2023 season. We also add in extra training for our teams that have been lucky enough to gain international selection based on their performance in the 2022 season.

Expertise:

AIFSC was founded 50 years ago this year, so as a club we have many years of experience within the world of figure skating. Synchronized skating has been an ever growing part of our club for approx 20 years. During that time we have developed and adapted our training methods and coaching skills to best respond to the needs of our skaters. The current volunteers have been in their roles for over 10 years, so we feel confident we can now deliver a professional and well oiled synchronized ice skating club.

Dates:

01/10/2022 - 12/01/2023

Promotion:

Only with flyers at the ice rink and emails to the NZ Skating community. We would acknowledge the local boards contribution with a logo and thank you on our website. We would also include the same logo in all our competition communications.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

As with all our training, offering subsidized training allows us to offer reduced term fees and as a result keep more young women (and some young men!) focused on staying within the sport they love. Benefits can be seen, especially amongst our older skaters (12+) with much happier young people, less anxiety and in more extreme cases improved mental health.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

Among our many goals, AIFSC work hard to support the Sport NZ initiative of keeping young women in sport. We run synchronized ice skating teams, that predominantly appeal to young women in the 10-25 age group.
We have seen first hand how our teams can offer an amazing amount of support to young women dealing with emotional, physical or mental health challenges and we love that about our club. We work hard each season to create teams that best fill the needs of the skaters we have on the ice. We pride ourselves on responding to the needs of our skating community and finding a team for every skater.

Māori outcomes:

·     None identified

 

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - We currently have a skater that suffers from Tourette's Syndrome. We have made adjustments so this skater feels comfortable on the ice and is no way is she treated any differently to other skaters.
We also have a new young skater with cochlear implants. Our coach is aware of this and makes every effort to ensure communication is offered in a clear and concise manner.
Due to the nature of our sport, physical disabilities are not something we could easily adapt for, but we try our best to be as inclusive as possible for all people who have the ability to skate.

Healthy environment approach:

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

All our training is done at Paradice Ice Skating. This venue is a smokefree venue.
We encourage all our skaters to bring a water bottle to training and work hard to promote healthy eating. We have engaged the services of various health professionals to talk to our older skaters about fueling their bodies in the right way.
By the very nature of our sport, we encourage a healthy lifestyle that includes movement and fitness.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Our project targets anyone and everyone who wants to skate in a synchronized ice skating team.
We have skaters from as young as 7, all the way through to 60+ and try our best to find a team for every skater.
We are inclusive of all races, religions and sexual orientations.
 
We currently support a large number of English as a second language skaters. These skaters come from all over the world but mostly from Asia and we try really hard to be as informative and as inclusive as possible.

 

Financial information

Amount requested:

$20000.00

Requesting grant for:

We are asking for help with the cost of ice hire. We hire ice from Paradice Ice Skating for approx $400 per hour for all our training. While we do try to keep costs lower by doing some training away from the ice rink, as a synchronized ice skating team, practicing on the ice is a fundamental requirement.  The cost of this very quickly can escalate and price our sport out of the market.

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

We would increase fees to $250 or possibly $300 per term and cut back on the amount of ice we hire. Ice can only be cancelled if 42 days notice is given, so we have to be prepared to make changes ahead of time. It is always a juggle between what ice we can offer our teams and what skaters are prepared to pay.

Cost of participation:

Skaters pay a term fee each term as with most sports. We try to keep this at approx $200-$250 per term

Project: Street Food Summer Series - Howick / Flat Bush

Location:

Lloyd Elsmore Park, Howick / Barry Curtis Park, Flat Bush

Summary:

We run on a unique model where we've developed a platform for small business owners to
feel supported and allow them to grow. All our actions aim to be sustainable as we have a
strong Kaupapa for waste minimalisation. All our vendors use compostable packaging and
we work with a sustainable waste management supplier to ensure this is treated properly.
Each event is specifically designed to fit the local community and we work alongside local
community groups and charities to incorporate them into our events. We love creating new
and vibrant community spaces where people can gather, mingle and celebrate, especially in
these tougher post covid times.This project specifically will cover two event dates.

Expertise:

Our founders Timothy van der Werff and Maggie Gray started a Dutch fries truck and organic mobile smoothie business respectively in 2015. It was a time when running a food truck selling quality food was extremely difficult and still a relatively new concept in
Auckland. People associated food trucks with low quality hot chips and hot dog vendors.
We’ve made it our mission to change this perception. Since then we have hosted more than 250 events in various location in Auckland working alongside local boards and Auckland Unlimited. We are passionate about showcasing the best street kai in Auckland and creating a communal public space through events, where communities can gather, mingle and celebrate.

We would create a online marketing campaign for the four events we plan to host. Including a Facebook event page which would be promoted with targeted ads to local residents and shared in local community groups, plus an organic reach to our 30,000 Facebook followers. in addition comms on our Instagram (8,000 followers) and included in our fortnightly newsletter. We also would list on Eventfinda which is then shared to Stuff and Auckland NZ websites. All communications would reference the support and contribution of the Howick Local board. Post event, we would ensure photos and a video from each event are shared with the board to use as they see fit and feedback on the event.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

We specialise in creating neutral and as such an inclusive space through each event. For
each event we focus on generating business for small business owners who are all Auckland
based (prioritising those those located in the local area) and often partner with local businesses and the local community to be involved
and to serve as a platform to assist them as well. We offer economic benefits within the
community as well as raise the overall attractiveness and profile of each local area. Lastly
we aim to lead by example by offering healthy, vegan, and gluten free options as well as
ensure sustainable waste management practises.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

Our events are a melting pot of diverse culture, music and experiences that local local residents can immersive themselves in when attending. This is achieved by having approx a dozen international food vendors that cater to all tastebuds, live music performances from local artists, and fun and interactive activities for all ages to enjoy, whether it be face painting, lawn games or community group workshops.

the waste into correct bins and signage will be provided to outline this. Free water will be
available and we always include a healthy, gluten free and vegan food option in our food
vendor lineup. We host these events in local neighbourhoods and encourage attendees to
get to the event by either walking or cycling (we invite Bike Auckland to our events so there is secure big parking on site).

We have run this event series on a smaller scale over the past few years and found they
really provide additional value to local communities by bringing locals together. We look
forward to the opportunity to work alongside the Howick local board and build on these
experiences to further enrich the lives of Aucklanders. Here is a link to a video captured at our last Howick event that was supported by the local board, the additional funding helped us source high quality musican and fire performance which the attendees enjoyed!

Summary:

As stated above - the club is responsible for providing well maintained facilities and tennis gear which includes balls to encourage new and existing club members to participate in Tennis.
Part of this is to ensure players have the correct equipment (new balls) and adequate facilities to encourage rest and recovery during play (Courtside bench seating with protection from sun).
These are a significant cost to a club that struggles to keep membership fees affordable in very challenging times.
Support for this application would greatly assist in the control of ballooning costs and help meet our goal of maintaining and providing good quality facilities for our members and the local Howick Community.

Identified community outcomes:

 

Howick Tennis Club is located in the heart of the village: it is a well-known and long standing club which has in the past provided an excellent facility for many thousands of local players both young and old. We hope to continue this legacy into the future to ensure we offer affordable sports participation within the local community.

Alignment with local board priorities:

The Club is required to provide well maintained facilities to cater for club play, Auckland interclub competitions and tournaments for both junior and senior members and affiliates. We have both senior and junior inter club players as well as providing junior and senior coaching programmes to encourage participation at all ages and levels. We also organize exhibition matches and host other club's for various tournaments through the year. 
Well maintained club facilities and serviceable equipment especially key items such as tennis balls and courtside seating to allow players to adequately recover during play.  Which encourages regular participation.
 This investment also enhances both the club’s and local community’s sports and recreational image and forms an integral part of the club’s drive to increase community participation by providing good facilities.
The Club is required to provide new balls for all club play, tournaments and interclub competitions. The club also provides the Club Coach with balls for all club coaching, including new members and junior players intent on improving their ability. We cater for approximately 100 juniors players who we provide free coaching opportunities to.
As mentioned above we believe good quality facilities and gear(balls) will encourage player satisfaction and therefore participation. A well presented and well equipped facility reflects well on the local Howick community and creates a welcoming image for the entire community as a whole to enjoy.
Tennis is a sport for life for all age groups and is a healthy way of life which the club supports for the local community.

Project: Cockle Bay Beach Reserve Planting and Restoration Project

Location:

The Reserve end of Shelly Beach Parade, the walkway up to between 126 and 130 Pah Road, the stream and entrance to the middle walkway behind Windross and the bottom of the walkway to Seaview Terrance and the liff faces between these walkways.

Summary:

The objective is to reduce erosion and stormwater flow next to the paths. We will lay drainage coil adjacent to one side of the Fosse walkway, plant native grasses, ground covers, shrubs and trees. This will help to slow the flow of stormwater and sediment.
We plan to initiate reinstatement of the adjacent cliff faces with appropriate clearing and preparation for establishment of a fernery and other appropriate planting to stem coastal erosion that is evident.  We plan to improve the stream surrounds at the bottom of the middle walkway by shaping the banks of the stream, placement of rock to create habitat and support for native fish, eels etc and appropriate planting to protect and enhance this environment.

Expertise:

We have not had the opportunity to deliver such a project but feel very confident that the CBRRA will deliver a positive and beneficial outcome due to our commitment, passion and appreciation for this special community asset. With Council staff agreement, we have already undertaken some weed and bamboo removal at our own expense.

Promotion:

Through our newsletters, website and social media (facebook)  as well as other local resident and ratepayer social media pages. We will also promote our project with the local newspaper The Times and local EastFM radio station.  We have also discussed at committee that an opportunity to have a residents "open day " in conjunction with plantings, Howick 175 ,exists and would be a great opportunity for Howick Local Board to be recognised and commended for their contribution to the project.

 

Environmental benefits:  Two of the pathways are on steep land featuring overland flow paths with a unique catchment up to 4 ha. Excessive storm water flows down the sides of the paths and causes erosion adjacent to and at the bottom of the paths.  Our project will reduce downhill flow of water and sediment. The Pah Road path has significance in terms of local history in particular Tuwakamana Paa Fosse. Planting a range of natives would help reduce further erosion to this historic site. Rock placement at the stream end will protect native fish habitat enhancing biodiversity and minimising sediment discharge.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The three walkways are used by many local residents and the reserve is very popular with large numbers of visitors and locals alike.
The project will protect, enhance and beautify the special characteristics of the Cockle Bay Reserve, Improvement. planting and protection of the paths and stream leading to the reserve and the cliff face perimeters of the reserve will provide an amenity that locals and visitors alike will be able to appreciate. It will acknowledge, maintain and enhance pre European local history. 
If appropriate restoration is not undertaken weeds and unsuitable plants will take over resulting in a very expensive project to restore If coastal erosion is left unattended, sediment and other inappropriate runoff will continue to find it's way into Cockle Bay compromising the health of the local beach and environs. We will explore with Auckland Botanical Gardens whether the site could become a reference site demonstrating how careful planting of appropriate plants can improve water quality and reduce erosion. This will encourage replication elsewhere in Auckland.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

·     Protect and enhance our unique coastline

 

Our projest for Cockle Bay reserve planting and restoration covers three very popular and interconnected walkways leading to Cockle Bay Beach via the reserve. One of the walkways is on the historic fosse that existed between Cockle Bay Beach and the Paa above (now Pah Road) It follows the path taken by the fosse or defensive ditch which helped separate part of the Tuwakamana Paa and the land to the west. The current concrete pathway was established many years ago and requires a lot of maintenance and replanting eg: there is damage to the ground and concrete pathway from erosion as a result of uncontrolled stormwater flow down the slope on which the path is built. Mass planting of appropriate natives and the placement of a drainage coil adjacent to the concrete path should act to reduce and slow stormwater flow downwards and so help to maintain the slope, concrete walkway and this important historic site, Our project also includes restoration work on two further walkways: the bottom of the walkway from Seaview Terrace into Cockle Bay Reserve, and the walkway adjacent to the stream area at the reserve end behind Windross House. The latter walkway is already exhibiting erosion to the banks of the stream. Further, these three interconnected walkways also feature sections of cliff face which are also demonstrating erosion. As a part of this project we wish to initiate a restoration programme to halt the coastal erosion and improve the health of stream water prior to discharge in to the sea (Hauraki Gulf) at Cockle Bay.  Reduction of invasive weeds, their replacement with native plantings and work on reducing coastal erosion will improve the biodiversity of these walkways and the Hauraki Gulf itself.

Requesting grant for:

We are applying for funding of the project as described, which includes removal of weeds and appropriate matter, ground preparation in readiness for planting, mulching, drainage coil and scoria, plants and planting material, gabion rock, and delivery costs..

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

We would identify the areas of our project that need immediate attention ; the drainage coil & scoria on the walkway and rock placement at the stream, and the cliff face planting initiative to curtail further deterioration and coastal erosion would be most important.  We would reduce the number of plants and then endeavour to obtain donated plants and materials , and ,or think about propagating our own plants which obviously will take a considerable amount of time before they would be ready for planting.

Project: Howick Sea Scouts New Boat Shed

Location:

Howick Sea Scouts: 10 Gibraltar Street, Howick, Auckland

Summary:

We are wanting to construct a new boat shed to help store our ever-increasing fleet of educational vessels (sailing boats, rowing boats, and kayaks) safely and securely. This is so that they can all be stored at the Scout Hall, and be easily accessible to all Leaders, to allow us to get more of our Rangatahi on the water more often. Currently, most of the boats are stored offsite at Scout parents and Leader's houses, as we don't have enough space to store them ourselves. This makes accessing the equipment very difficult and time-consuming.

Expertise:

Many of our Scout Leaders and Committee Members (all volunteers) have extensive knowledge in planning and constructing buildings. Deon (Scout Leader & Committee Member) is a Contracts Manager and has overseen many large construction projects. Nathan (Cub Section Leader & Committee Member) is a Site Supervisor for residential housing and light commercial projects, and has extensive knowledge in building regulations and methodology. Tony (Scout Leader) is a registered architect who has helped develop the design for the shed, and has a vast knowledge in building design and functionality. Our committee has also successfully managed the installation of 8 new windows, 3 new doors, a new garage door, and LED lighting throughout the whole Scout Hall.

We will be advertising it on social media and hope to have the local newspaper there to do an article about it. We will be acknowledging Howick Local Board's contribution to the project at the event. It will be a family friendly event with many activites.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The community benefits from this project will be incredible. As a Scout Group, we will be able to get far more youth onto the water as we will have direct access to our boats and water safety equipment. At present, it is very hard to get all of our gear out on the water as some people might not be home or we don't have someone who could pick the boat up from their house. Our group already serves quite a few youth within Howick, but we will be able to scale this up, as we will have all of our water equipment available and easily accessible.This will benefit the whole of Howick and allow more Rangatahi to learn essential water safety skills and get involved in fun water activities.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

Our project meets this priority by allowing us to construct a safe and secure storage facility, that will house our water activity & water safety equipment safely for many years to come. This will enable us as a group to reach even more Rangatahi within our community, to help get them on the water and learn essential water safety skills while also having lots of fun and learning new techniques. This is because the water equipment will be much easier to access for our Leaders, allowing us to make the most of the time we have with the youth.

Māori outcomes:

·    

Our group incorporates tikanga Māori through a wide range of techniques and methods. The Scouts Aotearoa award scheme incorporates Māori practices to help teach our younger generations about Māori and how it is part of New Zealand culture. The small groups within the different sections in our group have Māori names and we incorporate Māori greetings and language into each of our term nights. Once we have finished constructing our new Boat Shed, we will have a blessing ceremony where we will invite the local Iwi. We will also give the new Boat Shed a Māori name to help embrace our Māori culture.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Scouts Aotearoa is open to all people with disabilities, and Howick Sea Scouts is no exception! The new boat shed will have wheelchair-accessible entrances to enable users with walking disabilities to easily access the building via wheelchair. Our award scheme is also design to include disabled people in all aspects, so that they don't feel left out and can enjoy every moment of Scouting!

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

Since we are affiliated to Scouts Aotearoa, we follow and work towards the Scout Award Scheme. This scheme has been developed over many years throughout the world and incorporates activities that challenge and develop our youth into well-prepared citizens. Some of the topics covered in the award scheme include raising awareness around smoking and the negative impacts it causes, how to look after our planet through recycling and minimizing waste schemes, staying active and sticking to a healthy diet and the great benefits of doing so, and looking after our planet in terms of green house gasses and pollution and how we can reduce our carbon emissions where possible. This is gone over in lots of detail and is youth-led, which allows our Rangatahi to engage even more and come up with potential solutions. All our facilities are Smoke and Vape free as well to further reinforce the message of smokefree zones. This project will also have a waste minimization scheme by reusing any left over materials and ordering the correct amount prior to construction. We will also be using sustainable materials that can be reused/recycled in the future.

Requesting grant for:

We are asking for funding to help us complete the electrical work on our boat shed. Without the electrical work completed, we cannot apply for CCC, which means we cannot use the building or insure it. The electrical will allow us to operate our lights, garage doors and security system to keep our equipment safe.

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

We will try our best to fundraise through different methods to help raise the required remaining amount. If we are unable to raise enough then we will need to cancel the electrical fitout as we won't be able to afford to pay for it out of the group's bank account.

Summary:

Sunshine Cultural Trust offers a holiday programme at Hippo playground in Botany during October 2022. We have engaged with well-known institutions from art, music, fashion and physical education backgrounds. Bilingual teachers are experienced in teaching and helping children to develop their interest. 
 
Our programme aims to become the beacon in a child’s learning journey, from finding their interest through these art & heritage experiences

Expertise:

Sunshine Cultural Trust has held quite a few successful holiday programmes at hippo playground. Every holiday programme, all institutions will always come back as it is an excellent opportunity to give back to the community. what would be better than giving children an experience in art & music?

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Sunshine Cultural Trust has held previous holiday programmes, and already made an influence in the local community. Some of the parents praised the programme: 
- Their children were able to participate in various activities in art, music, cultural heritage and physical education; as well as having such a fun time in the hippo playground.
- These workshops and studios are not normally approachable. The trust has gathered all these experienced teachers in order to provide children with the best possible first-encounter.  
- Day trip to Howick Historical village really provides children with more understanding of NZ heritage. This experience will help children with school studies as well. 
 
The wider community is able to participate freely. Holiday programme is conveniently located in Botany Auckland. This suited children who lived in East and South Auckland. Parents who live outside these areas, if they work in East Auckland, it would always be nice to drop off and pick up children for the programme.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

 

Children from 5 years to 12 years are the most creative in their life. Our holiday programme offers these necessary encounters. Our teachers are very experienced at catching these creative moments. Children don’t often get this much experience from school, as they are often classified as outside-school curriculum activities. Our programme will give children these fun-packed experiences. Some children even enroll in these institutions after the programme to continue enriching their interest.
 
For example: NZ Shadow Puppets Art Workshop: this workshop is very unique and very well-known in the local community. They offer very traditional Chinese puppet making workshops. During the programme, the teacher will show children how to make monkey king puppet, so at the same time, as well as having art experience, children will also learn Chinese folktale and enjoy the stories for life.  
 
Sunshine Trust also engaged with Music studio, Fashion and Modeling studio, it will give children an inside taste of these fabulous industries, children develop particular interest in these areas. 
 
Teachers are all bilingual. So Chinese students get some learning in their home language, making them realise more of their heritage. English speaking students will have the opportunity to see Chinese art and culture.

The Howick & Districts Historical Society Incorporated

Legal status:

Incorporated Society

Activity focus:

Arts and culture

Project: Collections Management Technology Support

Location:

White's Homestead, Howick Historical Village, 75 Bells Road, Pakuranga Heights, Auckland 2010

Summary:

These funds will cover the costs of 1.) data migration from our current collections management system (CMS) (a mix of Excel and eHive, the latter of which will no longer be supported by its parent company) into a new system best suited for our encyclopaedic collection, as well as 2.) training for staff and volunteers on the new system.  This funding will supplement funds we have already received from National Services Te Paerangi | Te Papa earlier this year for this project.  The end goal of this project, in around 5 years time, will be a fully catalogued collection, which we will then put up online for visitors to browse in a digital format.

Expertise:

As noted above, our collections team has been volunteer based until we hired Richard Giles as Collections Assistant in 2021.  Richard has the experience, education, and training to carry out this project, as does Lexie Palmer-Gapper, the General Manager, who used this specific CMS in her previous positions at both large and small scale museums in the States.

Dates:

01/10/2022 - 01/10/2023

People reached:

The main purpose of the database will be securing and managing our collections by our staff and volunteers.  Once made available online, in around 5 years' time, based on the number of visitors who request archival research a week, we expect around 1,000 people to utilize the information contained in the database during the first year of use.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The full collection includes textiles, objects, fine arts, archives, photographs and taonga, and covers the time period of 1820s – 1960s in East Auckland. The Village holds a large amount of images, records, and personal effects from families and schools in the area. The strength of our collection is around social history and archives, residential history and photographs, and architectural history.  Having our collections properly catalogued and maintained through this new database will eventually allow us to share our collections online with anyone who is interested to easily review our holdings.  This cutting-edge program will also make it easier for us to manage our primary source material for visitors or researchers who wish to see the objects/archives in person.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

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

This grant will fund our purchase and implementation of the technology best suited to run our collections management system (CMS) and align HHV with current museum industry standards. These funds will cover the costs of data migration from our current system (a mix of Excel and eHive, the latter of which will soon no longer be supported by the company that created it) as well as training on the new system.  This funding from Howick Local Board will be used in conjunction with funds we have already received from National Services Te Paerangi | Te Papa earlier this year.  The end goal of this project, in around 5 years, will be a fully catalogued collection, which we will then put up online for visitors to browse in a digital format.  
 
Our full collection includes textiles, objects, fine arts, archives, photographs and taonga, and covers the time period of 1820s – 1960s in East Auckland. The Village holds a large amount of images, records, and personal effects from families and schools in the area. The strength of our collection is around social history and archives, residential history and photographs, and architectural history.
 
In April 2022, we applied for and received NZ$25,000 (the full grant amount) from the National Services Te Paerangi | Te Papa to 1.) support the purchase of a new CMS to consolidate our records (NZ$10,000) and 2.) secure the position of our Collections Assistant, Richard Giles, for another year (NZ$15,000).  The parameters of the National Services Te Paerangi | Te Papa grant were such that we were limited to only NZ$10,000 for the technology, even though the quote for the new CMS is over US$30,000.  The National Services Te Paerangi | Te Papa assessment panel were concerned about us covering the costs of data migration from the current system to the new system and that we would also need to find funds to cover the cost for training on the use of the system.  
 
The grant from Howick Local Board will help cover these data migration costs and training, allowing us to finally, properly catalogue, maintain, and manage our collections according to best practices. These collections, which include the historic buildings and antique vehicles and tools alongside those other areas mentioned above, require a significant amount of material, time, and effort to properly care for and catalogue them.  Attached at the end of this application are documents from Te Papa and Museums Aotearoa (of which we are a member) detailing the important role collections management systems play. 
 
Collections management processes have been deeply affected by Covid as many of our volunteers are of retirement age and were not able to be at the Village to carry out this important work. In fact, from our opening in 1980 until 2021, our entire collections management team has consisted of dedicated volunteers, all of whom are now older and medically fragile. Over the years, they taught themselves the basics of collections management, and used a combination of paper records, word documents, excel spreadsheets, PastPerfect, and eHive to start cataloguing the collection.
 
During the first lock-down, the collections – including the buildings and grounds – were locked up and not maintained regularly due to confusion as to who was legally allowed to be onsite and who was not. During the second lock-down, a bare-bones team was kept onsite to make sure the physical space was looked after properly. This oversight did not extend to objects and archives, however, and all cataloguing work was stopped.
 
In mid-2021, the Village was able to hire Richard Giles as Collections Assistant for 8 hours a week at NZ$22/hr. His CV is attached here for your review. His background, experience, and education make him an ideal person for this role, as well as his invaluable network, which includes deep connections within Auckland Library Special Collections. With NZ$10,000 from a larger grant made by Howick Local Board at the end of 2021, Richard’s hours were increased to 16 hours/week at NZ$22/hr. In his short time on staff, he has helped turn the Village from an inward-looking institution, to a hyperopic one that welcomes, is responsive to, and is accessible by all our visitors, both online and in person.
 
With Richard on board, the Village has identified upgrading our CMS as a critical next step. As noted above, we applied for and received the full amount of The National Services Te Paerangi | Te Papa Helping Hands grant (NZ$25,000), which covers the cost of purchasing the system we've identified as best suited for the Village (NZ$10,000), along with continued support for Richard's position here at the Village (NZ$15,000).  This grant from Howick Local Board, in conjunction with the funds we received from National Services Te Paerangi | Te Papa in April 2022, will cover the remainder of the cost of data-transfer, training, and implementing the new collections management system.

Māori outcomes:

·    

Among our over 40,000 objects, we have a collection of Māori taonga and material culture that needs to be properly catalogued, researched, and documented.  Our staff member, Roimata Prendergast (Ngāti Kahu/Ngāti Tara) who is our Storytelling Coordinator, will work closely with Richard Giles, Collections Assistant, to identify the objects, their uses, materiality and manufacture process, whether they are sacred or secular, whether they need to be repatriated, and how best to store, discuss, and display them.  She will also help us describe them using Te Reo, and will assist in setting up parameters around the objects should any mātauranga need to be closely guarded, or limiting cultural/spiritual stipulations associated with the objects are determined to exist.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - The next few phases of the project, the data-entry, will be done by staff, volunteers, and the company that created the CMS.  Staff and volunteers with disabilities are easily able to access the archives in order to input the data and help catalogue objects.  Eventually, when the collection is put online, anyone with a computer and internet connection will be able to access the objects.

Healthy environment approach:

Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages

Our project will help us minimize waste and cut-down on paper use and recycling needs by consolidating records into scans, uploads, and digital files.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Yes.  It will provide access to our collection for all visitors regardless of gender, age, or ethnicity.

 

Financial information

Amount requested:

$37000.00

Requesting grant for:

We are requesting NZ$37,000 towards the remaining funding that we could not secure from National Services Te Paerangi | Te Papa due to the parameters of their grant.  The funds we seek will cover data migration, data clean-up, and training for staff members.  Having the company that provides the CMS complete these tasks for us will save Richard Giles around 3 years of work and will ensure no duplicates, and consistency across data-entry.  Because the quote is in USD, we use https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=31945&From=USD&To=NZD to determine the exchange rate.  As such, there will be some fluctuation, which we can cover if necessary.

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

If only a percentage of the project can be funded, we will both 1.) ask Richard and his volunteers to put on hold any other work he has to focus on the data migration, and 2.) have to look for funds from other funding sources.  Collections management is a critical part of our mission statement, and we must move forward on bringing our systems up-to-date to ensure best practices.

Community

Project: 9 Week Youth Development Programme

Location:

The 9 week youth development programmes are held at local colleges: Pakuranga College, Howick College, Edgewater 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. This programme is run over 9 weeks.
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 already established 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:

 

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 youth development 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.

African Film Festival New Zealand Trust

 

Legal status:

Activity focus:

Arts and culture

Project: African Film Festival

Location:

Online festival on SHIFT72 platform and Projection at Rialto Cinemas Newmarket

Summary:

An engaging mixture of contemporary and classic  African films, with African themes, short in AFrica. The range from comedy to documentary. The films provide New Zealand audiences a context for understanding more deeply the complex stories and everyday realities that reach us from the Continent of Africa via mainstream news media. This year we aim to screen thirty five feature films and ten short films. These screenings will be on cinema projection and online screening.

Expertise:

We launched in 2015 at the Rialto Cinemas in Newmarket, Auckland.  Since then, AFFNZ has been part of the annual film festival circuit in Aotearoa. In 2017 the festival was extended to 10 days in Auckland, 5 days in Wellington and one day in Christchurch. Prior to AFFNZ, around 3 to 5 African films were screened in New Zealand per year. Since then the number of African films screened in the country has increased to around100 and more than 12,000 Kiwis have been to an African film. We now have the experience of running a film festival

Dates:

The funders names will appear on our website and Facebook page
Funders will be mentioned in our promotion booklets

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The African Film Festival is for all New Zealanders. The people who interact directly with the festival have the first chance to benefit. They will become ambassadors and advocates of the African Film Festival. Over the years the African Film Festival has been in existence, we have seen attendance grow year by year. This is an indicator that people are aware and are taking time to engage. Although there is no known numerical measure for the benefit, we know that engagement leads to conversations, which lead to understanding and appreciation of the African stories that are showcased in the film that we screen.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Howick

People actively contribute to their community

Film is a subtle form of encouraging social cohesion within the diverse communities in New Zealand. Film is a safe platform for social interaction where communities can forge lasting relationships by engaging with each other over conversations that result from watching these films. This will in turn bring understanding, respect and tolerance of each other regardless of social, ethnic or religious differences. The African Film Festival intends to help new arrivals, families of African descent and generational Africans in the Diaspora to remain connected with Africa. Thus, fostering a strong sense of identity with Africa as they stride forward with confidence while they engage, contribute and integrate into the New Zealand society. We are facilitators, tools shed that empowers communities with openers for their narratives.

Activity focus:

Community

Project: Elder Support Programs

Location:

Mt. Roskill War memorial Hall 13 May Road, Mt Roskill Auckland

Summary:

Bhartiya Samaj Charitable Trust consistently works for and alongside our older citizens, promoting their mental and physical health, fostering a sense of social inclusion, and giving them the tools they need to build confidence. 22 times a year, we organize Seniors' gatherings where seniors gather as a community to feel safe and supported. Here, kids have the chance to socialize, build relationships, and gain empowerment while learning new skills and knowledge about social concerns and several other topics. We were picked by the Electoral Commission last year to educate and raise knowledge about the election process in the neighborhood. Several sessions were held in person and online to do this, empowering and boosting community members' confidence.

Expertise:

We have been planning activities, workshops, and gatherings for our senior members since since our organisation was founded. Our company is continually changing and developing its community offerings. We have put up programmes to support members in developing a healthy lifestyle via fitness, nutrition, and mental wellbeing. By offering computer and Kiwi English classes to our members, we also encourage the development of new skills. We provide assistance and support to victims of domestic violence through our sister organisation. We have a dedicated group of volunteers that help us carry out all these programmes and activities.

Dates:

01/06/2022 - 31/05/2023

People reached:

250+

Promotion:

We actively promote our project on various online and offline media platforms including FM
Radio, Website, Social media, journals, community newspapers, and magazines. We publicly
acknowledge the contribution of the local board during our meetings and in our Annual
report and Quarterly Magazine which is shared on all our channels.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Senior citizen members' welfare is our project's primary guiding principle. We work hard to provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere. They have a forum to voice their issues, opinions, and experiences during these gatherings, which helps them feel independent, included, recognized, and socially and culturally aware. Elderly people who are isolated have the chance to participate in activities, gain new skills, and enhance their confidence on a social platform. We strive to create a friendly, contented, and secure community by offering ongoing support and rehabilitation programs.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Howick

People actively contribute to their community

Senior Citizen gatherings, exercise programs, English language classes, and computer classes are all organized by BSCT to give our members the chance to learn new skills, change their lifestyles, and advance as a community. By working together and supporting one another as they perform all tasks, kids feel safe and supported. Through our seminars and events, kids get the chance to learn from one another, express their worries and problems in a safe setting, and receive support from other participants. We strive to establish a healthy neighbourhood where they can interact and improve their lives

Rainbow Youth Incorporated

 

Legal status:

Incorporated Society, Charitable Trust

Activity focus:

Community

Project: RainbowYOUTH Peer Support Groups

Location:

Multiple locations across the Local Board areas

Summary:

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

Expertise:

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

Dates:

01/10/2022 - 30/09/2023

People reached:

Promotion:

We will acknowledge assistance from the local boards in our Annual Report and on our
website using the applicable logos, as well as inviting representatives from the board to our
annual Sponsor’s Breakfast at the end of the year if COVID allows.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

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

Alignment with local board priorities:

Howick

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

The OutEast peer support group in Howick meets this priority by supporting and
encouraging volunteerism in queer, intersex and gender diverse young people. Young
people who attend are able to build community and confidence in a moderated space where
they are free to express themselves, and group members have participated in events like Pride.
They are able to access volunteer opportunities and referral to other support structures.
Two young people were trained by RainbowYOUTH at a facilitator hui to run this group on a
volunteer basis. OutEast meets fortnightly and an average of 11 young people attend each
meeting

Māori outcomes:

RainbowYOUTH is a tau iwi service, however we are working actively to be and become
an organisation that is relevant for Māori. Through our services and advocacy we aim to
strengthen the mauri and the wairua of takatāpui.
A core value of RainbowYOUTH is proactively upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We honour
this commitment through incorporating tikanga Māori into our work, using Māori health
frameworks, providing kaupapa Māori supervision and cultural supervision for staff, and
providing mandatory professional development for staff regarding Te Tiriti and cultural
responsiveness. We have representation of Māori at all levels of the organisation.

Accessible to people with disabilities

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

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

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

Financial information

Amount requested:

$27352.00

Requesting grant for:

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

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

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

Howick Local Board

19 September 2022

 

 

2022 local government elections - meetings and decision-making until new local board members make their declarations

File No.: CP2022/12598

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide for appropriate arrangements for decision-making between the final local board meeting of the current electoral term and the inaugural meeting of the new local board.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The last meeting of the Howick Local Board in this current term is scheduled for Howick September 2022. Between that meeting and the first meeting of the local board in the new term, decisions may be needed from the local board. As for each of the previous terms, temporary arrangements for making these decisions need to be confirmed.

3.       The term of office of the current local board members ends the day following the official declaration of election results. Following the declaration, which is expected to be Friday 14 October 2022, the term of office for members elected to the local board will commence.

4.       For the period from the commencement of their term of office until their inaugural meeting where members are sworn in (interregnum), decisions may be made by the Auckland Council Chief Executive under existing delegations.

5.       The existing local boards delegation to the Chief Executive requires, amongst other things, that staff consult with the allocated local board portfolio holder/lead on certain decisions. As a temporary measure, this report seeks to allow staff to make decisions without complying with the requirement for consultation during the interregnum. 

6.       Staff also seek confirmation of arrangements for making decisions at the local board level in the period between the final local board meeting and the official end of term. The urgent decision delegations and process that is already in place adequately caters for this scenario.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Howick Local Board:

a)      confirm that the local board’s existing urgent decisions delegations process will be utilised where decisions are required from the local board between the final local board business meeting (19 September 2022) and the end of term (15 October 2022).

b)      note that from the commencement of the term of office of new members until the inaugural meeting of the incoming local board (interregnum), all decision-making will be undertaken by the Chief Executive under current delegations.

c)       note that the Chief Executive will not be required to comply with consultation requirements in the local boards’ delegation protocols when making decisions during the interregnum.

d)      request that the Chief Executive exercise restraint when making decisions during the interregnum and to consider referring significant decisions to the first meeting of the incoming local board.

 

 

Horopaki

Context

7.       Current elected members remain in office until the new members’ term of office commences, which is the day after the declaration of election results (Sections 115 and 116, Local Electoral Act 2001). The declaration will be publicly notified on 14 October 2022, with the term of office of current members ending and the term of office of new members commencing on 15 October 2022.

8.       The new members cannot act as members of the local board until they have made their statutory declaration at the inaugural local board meeting (Clause 14, Schedule 7, Local Government Act 2002).

9.       Following the last local board meeting of the current electoral term, decisions may be needed on urgent matters or routine business as usual that cannot wait until the incoming local board’s first business meeting in the new electoral term.

10.     As with each of the previous electoral terms, temporary arrangements need to be made and/or confirmed for:

·    making urgent decisions before the end of term

·    making decisions that require consultation with local board/local board members during the interregnum.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Urgent decisions – arrangement for remainder of the term

11.     Between the last business meeting and the declaration of results expected around 14 October 2022, current local board members are still in office and can use their existing urgent decisions delegations to make decisions that are required from the local board during this time.

12.     The urgent decisions process includes a delegation to the chairperson and deputy chairperson that enables them to make decisions on behalf of the local board where it is not practical to call the full board together.

13.     All requests for an urgent decision will need to be supported by adequate staff advice and information and clear recommendations.

Decision-making during the interregnum

14.     All local boards have made a general delegation to the Chief Executive. During the interregnum, any decisions that will be required from the local board, and which cannot wait until a local board meeting, will be undertaken by the Chief Executive under his existing delegations.

15.     The delegation to the Chief Executive is subject to a requirement to comply with the delegation protocols, which require consulting with the local board on some decisions that are made by staff under delegated authority. Consultation is often done through a local board lead (referred to as a portfolio holder in the delegation protocols). The most common area requiring consultation is landowner consents relating to local parks. Parks staff receive a large number of landowner consent requests each month that relate to local parks across Auckland.

16.     During the current term, while the elected members remain in office, staff will continue to consult with leads/portfolio holders as required by the delegation protocols (or chairperson where there is no portfolio holder). However, during the interregnum, staff will be unable to comply with this requirement due to the absence of appointed portfolio holders/lead/chairpersons to consult with.

17.     As a temporary measure, it is recommended that staff continue to process business as usual decisions that cannot wait until the local board’s first business meeting without consultation. Following the election of chairpersons at the inaugural meetings, staff will consult with the chairperson when and if required and can resume consultation with appointed representatives once new arrangements for leads/portfolio holders are in place.

Climate impact statement

18.     This report relates to procedural matters and has no quantifiable climate impacts.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

19.     The arrangements proposed in this report enable the council to proceed with necessary business during the election period. During the interregnum, staff will exercise restraint and ensure that any significant decisions are deferred to the incoming local board.

20.     These arrangements apply only to local boards. The reduced political decision-making will be communicated to the wider council group.

21.     The governing body has made its own arrangements to cover the election period, including delegating the power to make urgent decisions between the last governing body meeting of the term and the day the current term ends, to any two of the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and a chairperson of a committee of the whole. From the commencement of the term of office of the new local board members until the governing body’s inaugural meeting, the Chief Executive will carry out decision-making under his current delegations.

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

Local impacts and local board views

22.     This is a report to all local boards that proposes arrangements to enable the council to process routine local matters during the election period. This will enable the council to meet timeframes and provide good customer service.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

23.     A decision of this procedural nature is not considered to have specific implications for Māori, and the arrangements proposed in this report do not affect the Māori community differently to the rest of the community.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

24.     This report and decision being sought relates to a procedural matter and does not have any financial implications.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

25.     There is a risk that unforeseen decisions will arise during this period, such as a decision that is politically significant or a decision that exceeds the Chief Executive’s financial delegations.

26.     This risk has been mitigated by scheduling meetings as late as possible in the current term and communicating to reporting staff that significant decisions should not be made during October 2022.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

27.     The decision of the local board will be communicated to senior staff so that they are aware of the arrangements for the month of October 2022.

Local Board input on the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management

File No.: CP2022/13458

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       The purpose of this report is to seek high-level input from local boards on the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020. This includes:

·    long-term visions for freshwater management

·    the proposed Freshwater Management Units

·    values and use of freshwater and the environmental outcomes sought for freshwater, either generally or for a specific water body.

2.       This report also provides an overview of the feedback received through the first stage of the National Policy Statement -Freshwater Management 2020 public engagement that ran from 13 June to 17 July 2022.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3.       The National Policy Statement -Freshwater Management 2020 provides national direction for freshwater management under the Resource Management Act 1991. The fundamental concept of the National Policy Statement -Freshwater Management 2020 is Te Mana o te Wai, which is a hierarchy of obligations that prioritises:

·    first, the health and well-being of water bodies and freshwater ecosystems

·    second, the health needs to people (such as drinking water)

·    third, the ability of people and communities to provide for the social, economic and cultural wellbeing.

4.       Auckland Council is required to change the Auckland Unitary Plan to give full effect to Te Mana o te Wai, which must be reflected in all decisions made under the National Policy Statement -Freshwater Management 2020.  Changes to the Auckland Unitary Plan must be notified by December 2024. Action plans must also be prepared and published as soon as practicable to achieve environmental outcomes and freshwater management objectives.

5.       The National Policy Statement -Freshwater Management 2020 sets the National Objectives Framework and steps that every regional council or unitary authority must follow when implementing the National Policy Statement -Freshwater Management 2020. Auckland Council is required to engage with communities and mana whenua to determine how Te Mana o te Wai applies to water bodies and freshwater ecosystems in Auckland.

6.       The first stage of National Policy Statement -Freshwater Management 2020 public engagement under the heading “Implementing the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 (te Mana o te Wai) for Auckland” was undertaken from 13 June to 17 July 2022. Feedback was sought on:

·    the long-term visions for freshwater management

·    the proposed Freshwater Management Units

·    how people value and use freshwater bodies and the environmental outcomes people would like to see achieved for freshwater, either generally or for a specific water body.

7.       Feedback from the first stage engagement will be used, along with existing information and further research and analysis, to develop freshwater management options that will be brought back for a second stage of engagement in the second half of 2023.

8.       There were 626 pieces of feedback received through the engagement period.

9.       Local boards are now invited to provide input to the National Policy Statement -Freshwater Management 2020. Local boards can view the feedback form provided during consultation to assist in preparation of feedback at Attachment A.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Howick Local Board:

a)      note the feedback received from communities through the first stage of public engagement with the National Policy Statement -Freshwater Management 2020, in Attachment D, Attachment E and Attachment F

b)      provide feedback on the National Policy Statement -Freshwater Management 2020 values including the:

i)       long-term visions for freshwater management

ii)       proposed Freshwater Management Units

iii)      values and use of freshwater and the environmental outcomes sought for freshwater, either generally or for a specific water body.

 

Horopaki

Context

10.     The National Policy Statement -Freshwater Management 2020 (NPS-FM) is a mandatory national direction for freshwater management under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA).  The Policy Statement applies to all freshwater (including groundwater) and, to the extent they are affected by freshwater, to receiving environments (which may include estuaries and the wider coastal marine area).

11.     The fundamental concept of the NPS-FM is Te Mana o te Wai, which is a hierarchy of obligations that prioritises:

·    first, the health and well-being of water bodies and freshwater ecosystems

·    second, the health needs to people (such as drinking water)

·    third, the ability of people and communities to provide for the social, economic and cultural wellbeing

12.     Regional councils and unitary authorities are required to change regional policy statements and regional plans to give effect to the requirements of the NPS-FM, including Te Mana o te Wai.

13.     Auckland Council is required to engage with communities and mana whenua to determine how Te Mana o te Wai applies to water bodies and freshwater ecosystems in Auckland. A plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan (AUP) is required for the NPS-FM implementation. The AUP plan change must be notified by December 2024.  The NPS-FM also requires the preparation of action plans to manage the effects of the use and development of land, freshwater and on receiving environments. Action plans must be prepared and published as soon as practicable.

14.     Every council must develop long-term visions for freshwater in its region and include those long-term visions as objectives in its regional policy statement. Long-term visions:

a)   may be set by Freshwater management Units (FMU), be part of a FMU, or at a catchment level; and

b)   must set goals that are ambitious but reasonable (that is, difficult to achieve but not impossible); and

c)   identify a timeframe to achieve those goals that is ambitious and reasonable (for example, 30 years after the commencement date).

15.     The National Objectives Framework (NOF) is a core part of the NPS-FM, and includes a series of steps that every regional council or unitary authority must follow on implementation, including to:

·    identify FMU in the region

·    identify values for each FMU

·    set environmental outcomes for each value and include them as objectives in regional plans

·    identify attributes for each value and set a baseline for those attributes

·    set target attribute states, environmental flows and levels, and other criteria to support the achievement of environmental outcomes

·    set limits as rules and prepare action plans (as appropriate) to achieve environmental outcomes.

16.     FMUs are essentially the spatial arrangements adopted by council for the management of freshwater.  All fresh waterbodies and their related catchments must be within an FMU.  While the NPS-FM is primarily concerned with the management of freshwater, it does also require an integrated management approach – ki uta ki tai – including consideration of the relationship of freshwater and its management to the coastal receiving environment. 

17.     A public engagement under the heading “Implementing the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 (te Mana o te Wai) for Auckland” was undertaken from 13 June to 17 July 2022 through AK Have Your Say and other engagement activities including library events and online webinars. Feedback was sought on:

·    the long-term visions for freshwater management

·    the proposed Freshwater Management Units

·    how people value freshwater in FMUs and environmental outcomes people would like to see achieved for these values.

18.     The public engagement on AK Have Your Say comprised the following:

·    the NPS-FM 2020

·    an overview of the NPS-FM implementation programme

·    NPS-FM implementation timeline

·    the proposed Auckland FMU map

·    the map of the Pukekohe specified vegetable growing area (when implementing the NPS-FM, the council must have regard to the importance of this area for domestic vegetables and food security, and may temporarily have a less stringent approach to water quality issues to ensure this is appropriately recognised)

·    an online feedback form with consultation questions and opportunity to provide comments on the proposed FMUs (also translated into numerous languages)

·    a social pinpoint map allowing people to provide feedback to a water body or within an area

·    Ministry for the Environment factsheets, infographics, and videos on freshwater management

·    access to freshwater planning enquiry service for questions and further information.

19.     Two online webinars and six library drop-in events were undertaken through the engagement period. These engagement activities introduced Auckland Council’s NPS-FM implementation programme and provided opportunities to the public to ask questions and to provide feedback directly.

20.     There were 626 pieces of feedback received through the consultation period, including:

·    128 online feedback forms

·    343 site-specific comments (from 84 submitters) via the Social Pinpoint mapping tool

·    12 hard copy feedback forms

·    23 emails

·    120 comments via library displays where feedback could be provided on post-it notes.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

21.     The NPS-FM has a focus on the identification and management of freshwater values.  It includes four compulsory values (ecosystem health, human contact, threatened species, and mahinga kai) that must be applied and managed in each FMU. There are also other values that must be considered in managing freshwater if they are relevant to Auckland. The list of compulsory values and other values are provided in Attachment C to this report (and are identified as Appendices 1A and 1B of the NPS-FM).  Additionally, the council must identify any other relevant values (i.e. additional to those specifically identified in the NPS-FM) including any additional Māori Freshwater Values as identified by mana whenua.

22.     Overall, submitters raised over 200 individual sites of value to them, while many talked more generally about particular types of, or all, freshwater bodies. The sites named were most commonly located in the Franklin, Rodney, Waitākere Ranges, and Waitematā local board areas.

23.     The values most commonly raised in relation to how submitters use, and would like to use, those freshwater bodies related to:

·    ecosystem health – including water quality and habitat (both generally and for threatened species) in particular

·    natural form and character

·    drinking water supply

·    human contact (that is, for recreational purposes such as swimming, boating, or fishing).

24.     Given the importance of the coastal environment in Auckland, and the impacts from key freshwater issues, such as sediment and E. coli, three FMUs have been proposed for freshwater management based on the three coastal receiving environments for catchments: the Kaipara Harbour, the Manukau Harbour and the Hauraki Gulf (map provided in Attachment B).  This proposed approach provides the opportunity to both address the management of freshwater for its own sake, while also explicitly considering its relationship to the coastal environment.

25.     While submitters were not asked directly whether they supported the Freshwater Management Units or not, comments were provided on a range of matters, including suggestions around amending the proposed boundaries, or rationale behind the boundaries, having more or less FMUs, more location specific detail, and having the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area as a separate FMU.

26.     Other submitters commented on non-FMU specific matters including wetlands, the need for more transparency and action, concern about water quality, the need to prioritise ecosystem health, farming/vegetable growing, and flooding.

27.     The NPS-FM provides for a specified vegetable growing area in Pukekohe that sits within the Manukau FMU. Some comments related to the provision for horticultural land use in Pukekohe.

·        3 supported the provision for continued horticultural use, including irrigation.

·        3 expressed concerns about the impact of horticultural activities on water quality (streams, and aquifers) particularly from fertiliser and nitrates.

28.     Demographic information from those submitters who provided it is detailed in Attachment D.

29.     Data tables naming sites, and their number of mentions by local board area is provided in Attachment E. A full Summary of Feedback report is provided in Attachment F.

30.     Staff are currently undertaking data analysis and a summary report of feedback will be published on AK Have Your Say.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

31.     The fundamental concept of the NPS-FM Te Mana o te Wai is about restoring and preserving the balance between the water, the wider environment, and the community. This concept is in line with the natural environment priority of Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan, which sets the goal:

Oranga taiao, oranga tāngata: a healthy and connected natural environment supports healthy and connected Aucklanders. The mauri (life essence) of Tāmaki Makaurau is restored”.

32.     The NPS-FM includes the following policy direction in response to climate change:

Policy 4: Freshwater is managed as part of New Zealand’s integrated response to climate change.

33.     Every council must have regard to the foreseeable impact of climate change in following areas:

·    when setting limits on resource use, every regional council must:

3.14(2)(a)(ii) have regard to the foreseeable impacts of climate change

·    when setting environmental flows and levels, every regional council must:

3.16(4)(a)(ii) have regard to the foreseeable impacts of climate change

·    when assessing and reporting, as part of each review required by section 35(2A) of the RMA, every regional council must prepare and publish:

3.30(2)(g) predictions of changes, including the foreseeable effects of climate change, that are likely to affect water bodies and freshwater ecosystems in the region.

34.     The implementation of the NPS-FM will help to promote the resilience of freshwater ecosystems to the effects of climate change.  The development of freshwater action plans will require sustainable land and water management practices to enhance the mauri and health of waterways, which is in line with actions prioritised in the Auckland Climate Plan.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

35.     The NPS-FM is relevant to all of the council’s functions. All relevant council departments and Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs) are involved in the NPS-FM implementation, including participation in aa Steering Committee overseeing the development and implementation of the programme. This includes having an ongoing role in supporting the NPS-FM engagement, and providing input and review of responses developed to give effect to the NPS-FM.

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

Local impacts and local board views

36.     Under the Local Government Act 2002, local boards are responsible for identifying and communicating to Auckland Council the interests and preferences of the people in its local board area in relation to the content of council’s strategies, policies, plans, and bylaws.  Local boards have a detailed understanding of their areas including freshwater values and issues and are in a position to provide important input to the development of NPS-FM responses, including in relation to the matters covered by this round of public engagement. 

37.     Prior to the public engagement a memo titled “Implementing the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 for Auckland” was provided to all local boards on 26 May 2022. The memo advised the key principles, consultation and timeframe requirements of implementing the NPS-FM, and the opportunities for local board input through the process (attached in Attachment G).

38.     A webinar presentation titled “National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020” was also presented to local boards in the meeting on 3 June 2022.  In response to feedback from elected members, the period for providing input had been extended for local boards to September 2022 to allow local boards time to provide feedback following the close of public engagement.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

39.     The NPS-FM says the council must “actively involve tangata whenua (to the extent they wish to be involved) in freshwater management” including in identifying Māori values and decision-making processes relating to Māori freshwater values.

40.     Engagement with mana whenua in Auckland is being undertaken through an on-going process, directly with mana whenua entities throughout the preparation of a plan change and development of action plans.

41.     Engagement with the mana whenua of Tāmaki Makaurau about the NPS-FM has also been undertaken in the broader context of Three Waters Reform and the development and implementation of the council’s Water Strategy, to enable mana whenua to provide a more holistic consideration of the management of water.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

42.     The first stage of the NPS-FM engagement was undertaken within the business-as-usual planning budget. This budget covers primarily staff time and the public engagement.

43.     The budget required for NPS-FM engagement in 2023, and for implementation of the project through to 2026 is presently under discussion.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

44.     The government has set a deadline of December 2024 for the council to publicly notify the AUP plan change in response to the provisions of the NPS-UD. Given the scale and complexity of the work, and limited resources, there is a risk that the council may not receive sufficient quality feedback from a wide range of interests. There is also a risk that Aucklanders and key stakeholders are unclear about the mandatory requirements of the NPS-FM and how the NPS-FM engagement links to previous water related engagements, for example the Auckland Water Strategy engagement and the Three Waters Reform engagement.

45.     These risks have been mitigated to date by communicating communications with communities and stakeholders during the engagement period, through meetings, emails, and online Question & Answer sessions. There will be further and ongoing communication to obtain quality engagement results to progress the NPS-FM implementation.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

46.     The feedback received from the first stage engagement on the values and the environmental outcomes sought, together with the NPS-FM requirements, will inform the development of objectives and proposed management options to achieve the objectives.

47.     A second phase of public engagement will be undertaken to seek feedback on the proposed objectives and management approaches for FMUs and water bodies. This will be undertaken in the second half of 2023 to provide opportunity for communities and stakeholders, and local boards for further involvement.  

48.     The feedback received from the second phase of engagement will further inform the development of a proposed plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan and the development of action plans.

49.     Elected representatives will have opportunities to review the proposed plan change and action plans as they evolve, and before the plan change is approved for public notification in the second half of 2024 to meet the NPS-FM deadline of notification before December 2024.

50.     Submissions to the plan change will be heard by an independent Freshwater Hearing Panel who will make recommendations back to council by 2026.

Naval Rig Flagpole - Relocation

File No.: CP2022/13515

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To approve the relocation of the naval rig flagpole located at 34 Moore Street, to Stevenson Reserve near Howick Village and allocate $25,000 LDI Opex to manage the process as part of Parks and Community Facilities FY2023/2024 work programme.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       A naval rig flagpole is located at the council-owned 34 Moore Street property which is designated for disposal with a December 2023 settlement date. To prevent its loss, the flagpole must be relocated to another Howick Village park.

3.       The naval rig flagpole provides a ceremonial function and is used to fly the New Zealand national flag on ANZAC day.

4.       Site factors taken into account when selecting potential locations to relocate the flagpole to include visibility from adjacent streets, gathering space for events, park infrastructure and current passive recreation use.

5.       It is recommended that the naval rig flagpole is relocated to Stevenson Reserve which is a highly visible park at the gateway to Howick Village with sufficient space for gathering and events. This location has the support of the Howick and Districts Historical Society (HDHS) and is generally supported by the Howick Local Board.

6.       In addition, it is recommended that the board allocates $25,000 LDI Opex for Parks and Community Facilities to manage the relocation project as part of their FY2023/2024 work programme.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Howick Local Board:

a)      Approves the relocation of the naval rig flagpole to Stevenson Reserve as part of the Parks and Community Facilities FY2023/2024 work programme.

b)      Allocate $25,000 LDI Opex for Parks and Community Facilities to manage the process as part of their FY2023/2024 work programme.

 

Horopaki

Context

7.       The naval rig flagpole is located at the council-owned 34 Moore Street property which is designated for disposal (Resolution number FIN/2020/31) by December 2023.

8.       The flagpole provides a ceremonial function that includes flying the New Zealand national flag on ANZAC day and during other events and ceremonies.

9.       To prevent the loss of the flagpole following the disposal of the property, the board requested that it is relocated to a local park near Howick Village to ensure the rig can be used to mark future events.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

10.     The eight-metre-high naval rig flagpole is anchored to the ground by four cables that support the structure and prevent it from falling over during high winds. The rig and wire cables occupy an area of approximately 20 square metres.

11.     The following considerations were taken into account when selecting potential locations to relocate the rig to and enable the continued use of the flagpole for ceremonial purposes:

·   highly visible from adjacent roads

·   provides space to gather for events

·   located away from trees, powerlines and other infrastructure

·   will not negatively impact passive recreation space.

Options

12.     Four parks within Howick Village have the capacity to house the flagpole and provide space for people to gather during events:

13.     Stevenson Reserve is located between Minerva Terrace and Cook Street and forms a high-quality amenity gateway into Howick with views of the Hauraki Gulf. The reserve provides passive recreation space, connecting footpath, bench seating and shade from mature trees.

14.     There is sufficient space at the reserve to accommodate the naval rig flagpole and provide gathering space for events. The proposed location will have a low impact on views across the reserve from adjacent residential properties.

15.     It is recommended that the flagpole is positioned on the crown of the reserve (yellow circle figure 1) to maximise visibility of the flag from adjacent streets during events. In addition, the recommended location is considered to have a low impact on current use patterns at the reserve and is supported by the HDHS.

16.     Crawford Reserve is located on Picton Street adjacent to Stockade Hill and provides access to passive recreation space near Howick Village. The park has formal landscape features that include a sheltered stage to provide for musical performances and tiered seating.

17.     The location identified by a yellow circle in figure 2 will provide visibility of the naval rig from adjacent road corridors. However, the small lawn area is constrained and the steel cables supporting the rig will present a barrier and a health and safety risk to park visitors.

18.     In addition, a flagpole used for ANZAC day services is located 40m away on Stockade Hill.  A second flagpole located in close proximity is considered unsuitable.

19.     Nixon Centennial Sports Park is located between Sale Street and Selwyn Road with sufficient space for gathering and events.

20.     The location identified by a yellow circle (figure 3) is centrally located within the park and provides good visibility from the adjacent road corridors and bowling club. The flagpole, at this location is however likely to impact current use patterns by reducing the available passive recreation space at the reserve. In addition, the Reserve Management Plan (2007) aspires to retain the open space for informal recreation use and the reserve is therefore considered unsuitable.

21.     The corner location identified by a green circle (figure 3) is near overhead powerlines and is not suitable.

22.     108 Beach Road (Howick Beach) is a highly visible corner site at the entrance to Howick Beach. The grassed area provides no recreational provision or amenity and the naval flag rig located at either location (green circles, figure 4) will be visible from Beach Road and Selwyn Road.

23.     The grassed area is small with limited gathering space and is in close proximity to neighbouring residential properties. For these reasons, the reserve is considered unsuitable.

Local impacts and local board views

26.     The findings of the assessment and recommendations to relocate the flagpole to Stevenson Reserve were presented to the board at an April 2022 workshop. The board were generally supportive of the recommendation but requested that the 175th Howick Anniversary Trust (the Trust) be consulted on the relocation proposal. The Trust advised that the flagpole project is managed by the HDHS. Both HDHS and the Trust provided their support for the recommendation to relocate the flagpole to Stevenson Reserve.

27.     At a further workshop held in August, the board continued to provide support for the recommendation and acknowledged the support of the HDHS to relocate the naval rig flagpole to Stevenson Reserve.

Local board views on Private Plan Change 77 - Pakuranga Golf Club

File No.: CP2022/13617

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To invite local board views on Private Plan Change 77 (PC 77), which is a private plan change by Pakuranga Country Club Incorporated (known as Pakuranga Golf Club) seeking to rezone the land at 199 Botany Road, Howick from Residential – Mixed Housing Suburban (MHS) to Open Space – Sport and Active Recreation (OS-SAR) zones in the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) 2016.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Decision-makers on a private plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) 2016 (AUP) must consider local boards’ views on the plan change, if the relevant local boards choose to provide their views.

3.       Each local board has a responsibility to communicate the interests and preferences of people in its area on Auckland Council policy documents, including private plan changes.

4.       Pakuranga Country Club Incorporated (known as Pakuranga Golf Club) is seeking to rezone the land at 199 Botany Road, Howick from Residential – Mixed Housing Suburban (MHS) to Open Space – Sport and Active Recreation (OS-SAR) zones in the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) 2016. The plan change site is a single parcel of 38.899 hectares, comprised mainly of a grassed fairway with landscaped trees and vegetation. Less than ten per cent of the land is comprised of buildings, paths, parking areas and driveways, which are related to the operation of the golf course.

5.       PC 77 has been publicly notified and 8 primary submissions have been received. One submission opposes the plan change on the basis that it will impact housing supply. All other submitters support, or provisionally support, the plan change. 

6.       A local board can present local views and preferences when expressed by the whole local board. This report is the mechanism for the local board to resolve and provide its views on PC 77.  Staff do not recommend what view the local board should convey.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

Context

Decision-making authority

7.       Each local board is responsible for communicating the interests and preferences of people in its area regarding the content of Auckland Council’s strategies, policies, plans, and bylaws. Local boards provide their views on the content of these documents.  Decision-makers must consider local boards’ views when deciding the content of these policy documents (ss15-16 Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009).

8.       A private plan change request will be included in the Auckland Unitary Plan if it is approved. Local boards must have the opportunity to provide their views on private plan change requests – when an entity other than council proposes a change to the Auckland Unitary Plan

9.       If the local board chooses to provide its views, the planner includes those views in the hearing report. The hearing report will address issues raised in local board views and submissions by themes. 

10.     If appointed by resolution, local board members may present the local board’s views at the hearing to commissioners, who decide on the private plan change request.

11.     This report provides an overview of the private plan change, and a summary of submissions’ key themes. 

12.     The report does not recommend what the local board should convey, if the local board expresses its views on PC 77 the planner must include any local board views verbatim in the evaluation of the private plan change. The planner cannot advise the local board as to what its views should be, and then evaluate those views.

Analysis and advice

Site and context

13.     The land subject to the plan change request is located at 199 Botany Road, Howick. The site is a single parcel of 38.899 hectares, comprised mainly of a grassed fairway with landscaped trees and vegetation (see property demarcated in light blue in Figure 1). Less than ten per cent of the land is comprised of buildings, paths, parking areas and driveways, which are related to the operation of the golf course. The carpark at the site entry accommodates 135 spaces.

14.     Overland flow paths traverse the land and floodplains are in low lying parts of the property. which is bordered to the north along Cascades Road and to the east along Botany Road and the Metlife Retirement Village. The western boundary of the land is defined by the Pakuranga tidal inlet. Adjoining the southern boundary of the site is a residential area of single- or two-story dwellings, typically with one dwelling per site. The plan change site is accessed via a controlled intersection with Botany Road and Millhouse Drive.

15.     The majority of the land surrounding the site, as well as the site itself is currently zoned Residential – Mixed Housing Suburban zone (MHS). Land on the western side of Pakuranga tidal inlet is zoned Business – Light Industry zone. Directly to the west of the site between the site and the tidal inlet is a small portion of Open Space – Conservation zoning. Further south of the site along Botany Road, there is a more intensive residential pattern of development (Residential - Mixed Housing Suburban Zone) and non-residential uses. Non-residential uses include Botany Medical Complex (zoned Healthcare Facility and Hospital); Kings Plant Barn (zoned Business – Mixed Use); retail and office activities (zoned Business – Mixed Use); and Botany Metropolitan Centre, which is over 950m from the edge of the site (zoned Business – Metropolitan Centre).

Figure 2 – Current zoning under the AUP (Operative in Part)

 

16.     Under the Council’s own proposed plan change - Plan Change 78 – Intensification, this site is proposed to be re-zoned to Mixed Housing Urban Zone. This proposed plan change responds to the government’s National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020 (amended in 2022) and requirements of the Resource Management Act. This means that council must incorporate Medium Density Residential Standards that enable three storey housing in relevant residential zones in urban Auckland.  The zone that delivers this is the Mixed Housing Urban Zone.

Plan change overview

 

17.     The plan change applicants have provided an assessment of effects and a section 32 evaluation report and supporting technical reports, all of which are being reviewed by a council team of staff and appointed consultants. The reports and other application details are available from council’s website at:

https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/plans-projects-policies-reports-bylaws/our-plans-strategies/unitary-plan/auckland-unitary-plan-modifications/Pages/details.aspx?UnitaryPlanId=139

 

 

18.     A Council experts team will evaluate and report on:

·    technical reports supplied by the applicant

·    submissions

·    views and preferences of the local board if the local board passes a resolution.

 

Themes from submissions received

 

19.     There have been eight submissions lodged on PC 74, of which seven are in support or conditional support, one is in opposition. The issue raised in the submission in opposition is that the proposed zoning in the proposed plan change reduces potential residential housing supply in the area.

 

20.     The submissions in support mention the alignment of the underlying zoning with the current use of the site as a recreational golf course and the benefits of preserving open space.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

Context

21.     Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan sets out Auckland’s climate goals:

·    to adapt to the impacts of climate change by planning for the changes we will face (climate adaptation)

·    to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050 (climate mitigation).

22.     The first of council’s climate goals is relevant because it relates to climate adaption.  That goal aligns with the legal principle for RMA decision-makers to have particular regard to the effects of climate change (section 7(i) RMA)

23.     However, the RMA currently precludes the second goal: consideration of climate mitigation.  Consequently any local board views on climate mitigation will be disregarded by the plan change decision-makers.

24.     RMA amendments that are expected at the end of this year (30 Nov 2022) will enable climate mitigation to be considered.  These effects cannot be considered now, unless the private plan change proposes rules about particular greenhouse gas discharges.  No rules of that kind are proposed.

Implications for local board views

25.     Table 1provides guidance as to what the local board may wish to consider in forming any view.

Table 1: Relevance of climate change to RMA decision-making

In scope for RMA decision-making

Out of scope for RMA decision-making

Climate adaption issues such as:

How should land be allocated to different activities when considering how climate change may affect our environment? How and where should physical resources be constructed?

For example:

·    will sea-level rise cause inundation of land where development is proposed? 

·    is the land in an area susceptible to coastal instability or erosion?

·    will Auckland be less- or better-prepared for flooding, stress on infrastructure, coastal and storm inundation?

·    is ecosystem resilience improved through ecological restoration or reduced by the loss of indigenous habitats?

Climate mitigation issues such as:

·        release of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere

·        increase in tail-pipe emissions from private car use, use of coal fired or natural gas burners

Local impacts and local board views

27.     The private plan change request is for land within the Howick Local Board area. This plan change relates to the Howick Local Board area only. Factors the local board may wish to consider in formulating its view:

·    interests and preferences of people in the local board area

·    well-being of communities within the local board area

·    local board documents, such as the local board plan and local board agreement

·    responsibilities and operation of the local board.

28.     The consultation record provided with the PC 77 request noted a letter sent to the chair of the Howick Local Board Adele White in February 2022 at which some overview information on the plan change was provided. There is no record of any formal approach or presentation to the Board.

29.     This report is the mechanism for obtaining formal local board views. The decision-maker will consider local board views, if provided, when deciding on the private plan change.

Māori impact statement

30.     If the local board chooses to provide its views on the plan change it includes the opportunity to comment on matters that may be of interest or importance to Māori People, well-being of Māori communities or Te Ao Māori (Māori worldview).

31.     The applicant’s consultation record states that the plan change application was provided to Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Pāoa, Ngāti Tamaterā, Ngāti Te Ata, Ngāti Whanaunga, Te Ahiwaru – Waiohua, Te Ākitai Waiohua and Te Patukirikiri. The applicant received one response, from Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki that advised that they had no issue with this plan change.

32.     It is noted that no submissions were received from mana whenua in response to the notified private plan change, however Council staff will contact mana whenua directly prior to completing the hearing report.

33.     The hearing report will include analysis of Part 2 of the Resource Management Act which requires that all persons exercising RMA functions shall take into account the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Risks and mitigations

35.     There is a risk that the local board will be unable to provide its views and preferences on the plan change, if it doesn’t pass a resolution. This report provides:

·    the mechanism for the Howick Local Board to express its views and preferences

·    the opportunity for a local board member to speak at a hearing.

36.     If the local board chooses not to pass a resolution at this business meeting, these opportunities are forgone.

37.     The power to provide local board views regarding the content of a private plan change cannot be delegated to individual local board member(s) (Local Government Act 2002, Sch 7, cls 36D)This report enables the whole local board to decide whether to provide its views and, if so, to determine what matters those views should include.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

38.     The planner will include, and report on, any resolution of the local board in the hearing report. The local board member appointed to speak to the local board’s views will be informed of the hearing date and invited to the hearing for that purpose. 

39.     The planner will advise the local board of the decision on the private plan change request by memorandum.

Howick Local Board

19 September 2022

 

 

Amendment to the Tūpuna Maunga Authority Integrated Management Plan

File No.: CP2022/13646

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide an overview of the proposed amendment to the Tūpuna Maunga Authority Integrated Management Plan (IMP) and invite local board feedback, if any.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The governance and administration of Tūpuna Maunga (except Rarotonga / Mt Smart) in Auckland rests with the Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority (Tūpuna Maunga Authority). This statutory co-governance authority has equal representation from Ngā Mana Whenua and Auckland Council, with one (non-voting) Crown representative (see Attachment B for more information).

3.       In 2016 the Tūpuna Maunga Authority adopted its Integrated Management Plan (IMP). The purpose of this plan is to facilitate the restoration of the natural, spiritual and indigenous landscape of the various maunga. The restoration programme sought to ensure that the remaining cultural and archaeological fabric on the maunga is protected and made visible by removing non-native trees that are having a negative impact.

4.       Following a judicial review and recommendations from the courts, the Tūpuna Maunga Authority has now agreed to amend the IMP. The proposed amendments to the Integrated Management Plan is outlined in Attachment A of this report and constitutes a new appendix to the IMP, which details proposed ecological restoration projects (including the planting of native species and the removal of non-native trees) for:

a)           Ōwairaka / Te Ahi Kā a Rakataura / Mt Albert (the Ōwairaka project)

b)           Pukewīwī / Puketāpapa / Mt Roskill

c)            Ōtāhuhu / Mt Richmond

d)           Te Tātua a Riukiuta / Big King.

5.       Public and local board feedback is required to be submitted by 5pm Saturday 8 October 2022.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Howick Local Board:

a)      provide feedback, if any, on the proposed amendment to the Tūpuna Maunga Authority Integrated Management Plan.

 


Horopaki

Context

Tūpuna Maunga Authority

6.       The Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountains) of Tāmaki Makaurau are central to Auckland’s identity and a point of difference around the world. Human occupation of the city spans around 1,000 years, and over that time the interaction of people with the Maunga has changed from monumental and defendable settlements to strategic maritime locations and resources (rock and water), through to a network of open spaces that are enjoyed by and meaningful to many Aucklanders.

7.       The governance and administration of the Tūpuna Maunga (except Rarotonga / Mt Smart) is undertaken by the Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority (Tūpuna Maunga Authority). The Tūpuna Maunga Authority has developed a set of plans and policies to guide how the Tūpuna Maunga are valued, protected, restored, enhanced, and managed in the future. These plans include:

·    Tūpuna Maunga Integrated Management Plan

·    Tūpuna Maunga Integrated Management Plan Strategies

·    Tūpuna Maunga Authority Operational Plan 2022/2023

·    Alcohol-free and Smoke-free Policy

·    Drones Policy

·    Memorials and Plaques Policy

·    Research Policy

·    Weddings Policy

Integrated Management Plan

8.       Prior to the formation of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority in 2014, each maunga was managed according to a separate reserve management plan developed by various former legacy councils. In some cases the plans were unchanged since initial drafting as far back as the early 1980s.

9.       In 2016, following an Auckland-wide public engagement, submission and hearing process, the Tūpuna Maunga IMP was adopted.

10.     This consultation process responds to a court finding that the large-scale removal of exotic trees is a significant decision and should have been the subject of express inclusion in the Integrated Management Plan.

11.     The proposed amendment to the IMP constitutes a new appendix which provides details of the proposed ecological restoration projects (including the planting of native species and the removal of non-native trees) for:

a)      Ōwairaka / Te Ahi Kā a Rakataura / Mt Albert (the Ōwairaka project)

b)      Pukewīwī / Puketāpapa / Mt Roskill

c)      Ōtāhuhu / Mt Richmond

d)      Te Tātua a Riukiuta / Big King

12.     The Authority has resolved to undertake public consultation on the proposed amendment pursuant to Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau Collective Redress Act 2014 and the Reserves Act 1977.

13.     Additional information about the IMP and the proposed amendment can be viewed on the Tūpuna Maunga Authority website.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Summary of Tūpuna Maunga Authority Integrated Management Plan

Purpose

14.     The purpose of the plan is to facilitate the restoration of the natural, spiritual and indigenous landscape of the maunga. This will include extensive planting of native species and the removal of non-native trees that are negatively impacting the cultural features of the Maunga. This will help restore and enhance the mauri and wairua of the Tūpuna Maunga.

15.     Returning native vegetation is a key step in healing the Tūpuna Maunga. Over many decades, native trees have been removed from the Maunga. Non-native trees have been planted without comprehensive plans for their future management or consideration of the cultural landscape. Many non-native trees, including weed species (some being identified in the Regional Pest Management Plan (RPMP)), have been allowed to self-seed by legacy administering entities. This has adversely affected the integrity of the cultural landscapes of the taonga tuku iho that are the Tūpuna Maunga.

16.     The restoration programme will ensure that the remaining cultural and archaeological fabric on the maunga is protected, and made visible by removing non-native trees that are having a negative impact. Sight lines from the maunga to other maunga/pā will be opened to ensure that the connection from maunga to maunga is prominent.

17.     All plant species identified in the RPMP will be removed.

18.     Further guidance has been given regarding non-native trees as part of the Tūpuna Maunga Biosecurity Strategy[1].

19.     As a matter of priority, non-native trees on the outer slopes of the maunga will be removed to emphasise and protect the cultural features of the maunga such as terracing and rua. To protect the archaeological values and the health and safety of people on the maunga, native and non-native trees may also need to be removed.

20.     The amendment intends to plant a range of native species to create a representation of the forest and ecosystems in each of the four maunga (location specific information is below). In addition:

a)      Among the native plantings, culturally-significant species will be planted to ensure that cultural traditions such as whakairo, raranga, and rongoa collection can continue into the future.

b)      Pest control will be intensified over time to ensure the protection of the continuous ngāhere established near the tihi.

c)      All native trees will be retained.

21.     The methodology of the programme will include:

a)      Retaining the tihi in grass.

b)      Planting in areas where in situ archaeology has been destroyed by historic quarrying.

c)      Selecting appropriate plants that can be planted near archaeological features.

d)      Removing trees in a way that avoids ground disturbance and has minimal impact on archaeological features.

e)      Ensuring that all trees that present a health and safety risk are removed.

 

Ōwairaka/ Te ahi-kā-a-rakataura/Mt Albert

22.     To achieve the cultural, spiritual and ecological restoration of Ōwairaka-te Ahi-kā-a- Rakataura, an exemplar WF7 Pūriri ngāhere[2] will be created as a representation of the forest that once stood on and near the maunga:

a)      Approximately 13,000 native plants will be planted (of which approximately 5,180 have already been planted and are maturing well).

b)      Habitats for mokomoko and other native fauna will be restored.

c)      Approximately 345 exotic trees will be removed, including weed species identified in the RPMP.

Pukewīwī/ Puketāpapa / Mt Roskill

23.     To achieve the cultural, spiritual and ecological restoration of Pukewīwī/ Puketāpapa / Mount Roskill, a range of native species will be planted as a representation of the forest and ecosystems that once stood on and near the maunga:

a)      Approximately 7,400 native plants will be planted (of which 4,800 have already been planted and are maturing well).

b)      A pā harakeke will be established on the maunga.

c)      A mara kai will also be established on the maunga, which will include amenity native tree plantings and traditional Māori kai.

d)      Several large native specimen trees will also be planted. Further planting sites will be identified in the future.

e)      Approximately 160 non-native trees (not all) will be removed, including weed species identified in the RPMP.

Ōtāhuhu/ Mt Richmond

24.     To achieve the cultural, spiritual and ecological restoration of Ōtāhuhu/ Mt Richmond, a WF7 Pūriri ngāhere forest type will be planted as a representation of the forests that stood on or near the maunga:

a)      39,000 native plants will be planted on the maunga (of which 12,000 have already been planted and are maturing well).

b)      Habitats for mokomoko and other native fauna will be restored.

c)      Approximately 443 non-native trees and shrubs (not all) will be removed, including weed species identified in the RPMP.

Te tātua a riukiuta / Big King

25.     To achieve the cultural, spiritual and ecological restoration of Te Tātua-a- Riukiuta/ Big King, a WF7 Pūriri ngāhere forest type will be planted as a representation of the forests that stood on or near the maunga:

a)      9000 native plants will be planted on the maunga.

b)      Habitats for mokomoko and other native fauna will be restored.

c)      Approximately 197 non-native trees and shrubs (not all) will be removed, including weed species identified in the RPMP.

Howick Local Board

File No.: CP2022/13815

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To allocate funds to the Lloyd Elsmore Community Hub Incorporated (LECH) multisport project.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Howick Local Board in FY17/18 and FY 18/19 set aside a total budget of $600,000  LDI Opex as a fund to support a proposed multisport project at Lloyd Elsmore Park.

3.       The budget was placed on hold pending the outcome of investigations into the future of the Howick Leisure Centre.

4.       LECH has progressed preliminary investigation and planning of its project and will require access to additional funds to commence design and consent work.

5.       The Howick Local Board has identified that Howick Leisure Centre services should be relocated to Lloyd Elsmore Park Pool and Leisure Centre. The local board seeks advice on potential partnership opportunities with the LECH multisport project.

6.       Staff have initiated discussions with LECH to explore potential partnership opportunities. LECH remains open to partnership discussions in parallel with progressing the multisport project.

7.       To allocate the budgeted $600,000 as a grant to LECH requires a resolution from the Howick Local Board.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Howick Local Board:

a)      Allocate $600,000 to Lloyd Elsmore Community Hub Incorporated to further progress the multisport project

 

Horopaki

Context

8.       In FY17/18 the Howick Local Board set aside $300,000 LDI Opex in a facility partnership budget tagged to a Lloyd Elsmore Park multisport project involving Howick Gymnastics Club, Pakuranga Tennis Club, Pakuranga Bowls Club and Auckland Table Tennis Association.

9.       In FY18/19 the Howick Local Board set aside a further $300,000 LDI Opex in a facility partnership budget tagged to the Lloyd Elsmore Park multisport project.

10.     The $600,000 budget was placed on hold pending the outcome of investigations into the future of the Howick Leisure Centre.

11.     The Lloyd Elsmore Community Hub Incorporated (LECH) was set up in 2020 to progress the Lloyd Elsmore Park multisport project.

12.     LECH is made up of; Howick Gymnastics Club, Pakuranga Tennis Club, Pakuranga Bowls Club, Auckland Table Tennis Association and three independent members.

13.     LECH has provided regular updates to Howick Local Board, and has completed a feasibility study, peer review of feasibility, building report (Pakuranga Bowls existing building), and engaged a consultant to complete ‘phase one’ of the project including a detailed design brief.

14.     LECH are ready to move to the next stage of their project ‘phase two’, including design and consents.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

15.     Three options are presented for the allocation of funds to support the LECH multisport project. Option 2 is recommended.

 

Options

 

SME comments

Option 1:

Remain status quo

LECH unable to progress further. Howick Gymnastics and Pakuranga Tennis could both fold due to issues with rent/tenure.

Option 2:

Allocate $600k LDI opex to LECH

LECH able to progress the multisport project and participate in partnership discussion with council.

This option is recommended.

Option 3:

Allocate funds to exploring partnership with Howick Leisure Centre project

LECH unable to progress on required timeframe. Procurement of services to explore partnership opportunities should be funded elsewhere.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

16.     There are no direct impacts on climate at this stage of the project.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

17.     The Regional Service and Strategy (RS&S) work programme for Howick Local Board includes an item to provide advice on partnership options for relocating Howick Leisure Centre services to Lloyd Elsmore Park Pool and Leisure Centre.

18.     RS&S staff (along with Sport and Recreation) are in discussions with LECH regarding partnership opportunities.

19.     RS&S staff are supportive of the $600,000 grant to LECH on the basis that the funding agreement contains conditions to ensure that partnership opportunities or options for leisure centre expansion are not precluded or unduly limited by unilateral decisions by LECH.

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

Local impacts and local board views

20.     Howick Local Board have regularly expressed their support of the project and have been kept updated regularly by LECH.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

21.     While there are no direct impacts, Māori will have access to quality sporting facilities in an all-inclusive multi-sport venue at Lloyd Elsmore Park.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

22.     The Howick Local Boards resolution will be required as authority for payment.

23.     Arrangements for funding drawdown will be stated in a funding agreement.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

24.     Howick Gymnastics Club is on a commercial lease and unable to sustain increasing annual rent.

25.     Pakuranga Tennis Club is on a temporary lease until 2024 at Pigeon Mountain.

26.     If LECH are not able to progress the multisport project, Howick Gymnastics Club and Pakuranga Tennis Club risk being unable to continue viable operations. This is to be mitigated by making funds budgeted for LECH available as a grant so that LECH can progress the multisport project.

27.     Risk that unilateral decisions by LECH or Auckland Council regarding their respective projects may preclude or unduly constrain the other. This is to be mitigated by entering a memorandum of understanding for the partnership discussions, and by including conditions in the funding agreement sufficient to ensure LECH multisport project works remain sensitive to the leisure centre requirements. 

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

28.     Staff will prepare and execute a funding agreement with LECH.

29.     Funding will be released pursuant to the terms of the funding agreement

30.     LECH and council staff will enter a memorandum of understanding to facilitate ongoing partnership discussions.

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide the Howick Local Board with an update on Council-controlled Organisation work programme items in its area, along with updates to the Howick Local Board Joint CCO Engagement Plan.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The 2022-23 CCO Local Board Joint Engagement Plans were agreed in 2022. However, this quarter four update is for the 2021-2022 CCO Engagement Plan.

3.       Updates will be provided to local boards each quarter to show both changes to the plan itself, and to provide updates on the work programme items included in the attachments to the plan.

4.       An updated version of the engagement plan is provided as Appendix A.

5.       Work programme updates from Auckland Transport, Tātaki Auckland Unlimited, Eke Panuku Development Auckland and Watercare are provided as Appendix B-E. 

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Howick Local Board:

a)      receive the Council-controlled Organisations Quarterly Update for Quarter Four 2021-22

b)      receive updates to the Joint CCO Engagement Plan 2022-2023.

Horopaki

Context

6.       Each local board has agreed an engagement approach with the four CCOs for the 2022-2023 local work programme. 

7.       While the local board approves the Joint CCO Engagement Plan each year, it remains a live document and CCOs are encouraged to keep the document up to date.

8.       Changes are also proposed by Local Board Services, where improvements can be made to all 21 engagement plans, and to keep information up to date.

9.       This update may include the following types of changes:

·    Additional work programme items, and proposed engagement level

·    Proposed changes to the engagement approach with the local board

·    Proposed changes to the extent of community engagement

10.     In addition, the four CCOs provide a quarterly update on projects listed in the engagement plan.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Updates from Local Board Services

11.     Updates have been made where there have been staff changes within Local Board Services or CCOs.

12.     These changes are reflected in Appendix A – Howick Local Board Joint CCO Engagement Plan 2022-2023.

Updates to the Auckland Transport work programme

Updates to the Eke Panuku work programme

Watercare

19.     Watercare’s work programme updates for Quarter Four are provided as Appendix E.

Updates to the Watercare work programme

Deferred, completed or removed activities

20.     These activities were included in the engagement plan but have been deferred, due to:

·        Redoubt Road Reservoir Expansion Project 

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

21.     Updating the Joint CCO Engagement Plan between the local board and Auckland Council’s substantive Council-Controlled Organisations does not have a direct impact on climate, however the projects it refers to will.

22.     Each CCO must work within Te Taruke-a-Tawhiri: Auckland's Climate Action Framework and information on climate impacts will be provided to local boards on a project or programme basis.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

23.     Receiving the updated Joint CCO Engagement Plan 2022-2023 addresses key elements of recommendations made by the CCO Review, including ensuring the communication of clear, up to date information from CCOs to local boards on projects in their area.

24.     These plans will be shared with the integration teams that implement local board work programmes and will give council staff greater ongoing visibility of CCO work programmes.

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

Local impacts and local board views

25.     Local board engagement plans enable local boards to signal to CCOs those projects that are of greatest interest to the local board, and to ensure that engagement between the local board and the four CCOs is focussed on those priority areas.

26.     Joint CCO engagement plans also give local boards the opportunity to communicate to CCOs which projects they expect to be of most interest to their communities.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

27.     Updating and adopting the Joint CCO Engagement Plan 2022-2023 may have a positive impact on local engagement with mana whenua and mataawaka.

28.     While both CCOs and local boards have engagement programmes with Māori, the engagement plan will allow a more cohesive and coordinated approach to engagement, with more advance planning of how different parts of the community will be involved.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

29.     The adoption of the Joint CCO Engagement Plan 2022-2023 between the local board and Auckland Council’s substantive Council-Controlled Organisations does not have financial impacts for local boards.

30.     Any financial implications or opportunities will be provided to local boards on a project or programme basis.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

31.     It is likely that there will be changes made to work programme items in the engagement plan during the year, or to the level of engagement that the board or the community will have. This risk is mitigated by ensuring that the document states clearly that it is subject to change, contains a table recording changes made since it was signed, and will be re-published on the local board agenda quarterly, to ensure public transparency.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

32.     The local board will receive the next quarterly update for Quarter One in late 2022.

33.     A workshop will be held in early 2023 to begin development of a new engagement plan for 2023-24

Urgent Decision of the Howick Local Board to provide feedback for inclusion in Auckland Council's feedback on the Ministry of Transport's Reshaping Streets package

File No.: CP2022/14024

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To note that an urgent decision was made to provide Howick Local Board input to Auckland Council’s feedback on the Ministry of Transport’s proposed package of technical rule changes known as Reshaping Streets.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       At its meeting on 9 December 2019 the Howick Local Board resolved (HW/2019/159) the following in relation to urgent decision-making:

That the Howick Local Board:

a)    adopt the urgent decision-making process for matters that require a decision where it is not practical to call the full board together and meet the requirement of a quorum;

b)    delegate authority to the chair and deputy chair, or any person acting in these roles, to make urgent decisions on behalf of the local board;

c)    agree that the relationship manager, chair and deputy chair (or any person/s acting in these roles) will authorise the urgent decision-making process by signing off the authorisation memo;

d)    note that all urgent decisions will be reported to the next ordinary meeting of the local board.

3.       An urgent decision was required in this instance because the Board’s feedback needed to be provided by 8 September 2022, prior to the next scheduled meeting on 19 September 2022. Delaying this feedback would mean that it would not be included for incorporation into the council’s submission on the consultation.

4.       On 8 September 2022 the chair and deputy chair made an urgent decision on behalf of the Board to provide feedback to Auckland Council’s feedback on Reshaping Streets. The urgent decision is included in this report as Attachment A.
