Luao Paea
Mr Paea, or as he is known locally, as
Sully, was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to
youth. Mr Paea has been dedicated to improving the lives of Pacific youth in
the South Auckland community since migrating to New Zealand from Niue in the
late 1960s. Mr Paea has used his past experiences of gang affiliations, drugs,
alcohol and family violence to create learning opportunities for youth. He was
a key driver of the community-led Crosspower Ministries Trust, an initiative
formed in 1994 to address local issues relating to youth such as drug abuse and
gang affiliation and support positive development. With his wife, he founded
the East Tamaki Youth and Resource Centre between the late 1970s and 1986,
building the site from scratch into a complex which remains today. He created
woodworking and trades related employment opportunities, working to mentor
young men on parole and utilising his home as a foster home between 1982 and
the late 1990s. He formed an alternative education programme for a group of
young men in 1998 who were disengaged from school, teaching them general
schooling subjects as well as skills including woodwork and welding. He helped
establish Otara 274 Youth Core, a project funded by the government to help with
rising youth involvement in gang and violence. Among other projects, Mr Paea is
well regarded for his positive influence on the youth of South Auckland.

consultations in April 2022 and in August/September 2022

with the findings of the needs analysis and public consultation that the
provision of an athletics track should take precedence over the provision of
greyhound racing at Manukau Sports Bowl as reported to the board in August
2022
c)
whakaae / agree
with the findings of the needs analysis that the Manukau Sports Bowl is the
best location for an athletics track due to its central location, gap in
current synthetic track provision and ability to provide additional amenities
such as lights, wheelchair access, access to other indoor training facilities
and future sports facilities

racing track is the only feasible location for an athletics track at the

catchment
ii)
that all local
clubs are provided grass tracks only
iii)
the low
participation rate due to the lack of all year facilities

the staff advice
that synthetic tracks in the past have resulted in a higher than forecast
level of use when co-located with other sport and recreation facilities in
Auckland
v)
the feedback from
the clubs, and the specific feedback from the Papatoetoe Athletics Club and
its members that they would be interested in re-locating to the Manukau
Sports Bowl if sufficient all-weather facilities are provided
vi)

of an athletics track at the Manukau Sports Bowl as an immediate short term
need for the Ōtara-Papatoetoe community

Manukau Sports Bowl Masterplan in Attachment A, subject to an amendment that
incorporates the provision of an athletics track at the Manukau Sports Bowl
as an immediate short term need for the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
community as in resolution f) above
h)

implementation of the masterplan, and in particular the design and funding
options for a synthetic athletics track, and report back to the board prior
