Remuera Library temporary relocation during seismic strengthening project

File No.: CP2024/05697

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek approval from the Ōrākei Local Board on the next steps for the Remuera Library relocation to Somervell Memorial Presbyterian Church during the Seismic Strengthening Project.  

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Remuera Library provides a popular service to the local community and is a well utilised and cherished heritage building.

3.       The building has been identified as earthquake-prone following a Detailed Seismic Assessment in 2017 and subsequent revision in 2020.

4.       Remediation of the building has been included in the financial year 2024/2025 seismic programme.

5.       After initial discussion with the local board there is a desire to maintain a local library service during the approximately 12-month duration of the seismic strengthening and refurbishment work.

6.       Staff have considered options and recommend the local board enter in to a 12-month lease with Somervell Memorial Presbyterian Church to support this service.

7.       The proposed lease commencement date of 1 July 2024 will allow for access from 10 June 2024 for associated fit out works, with service resuming at the new venue by 15 July.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

a)      whakaae / approve entering into a lease with Somervell Memorial Presbyterian Church at 497 Remuera Road, Remuera for a 12-month term commencing on 1 July 2024 at a cost of at $100,000 gross lease (includes operational costs such as building warrant of fitness, building insurance and rates but excluding utilities) to provide a local library service during the period of seismic strengthening and refurbishment at Remuera Library

b)      whakaae / approve the reallocation of $40,437 from the local board’s 2023/2024 work programme line item 3844 Meadowbank Community Centre to the Somervell Church in advance of the lease commencement

Horopaki

Context

8.       Remuera Library is a well-used and popular local library. There were close to 15,000 visits to the library in March 2024 and visitation continues to show steady post COVID-19 recovery each quarter, helped by popular local programmes.  

9.       Remuera Library is a single-story heritage unreinforced masonry (URM) structure originally constructed in 1926, with several modifications made over the years. It has been identified as earthquake-prone, with a seismic score of 15% of the New Building Standard (15%NBS) following a Detailed Seismic Assessment in 2017 and subsequent revision in 2020. This score indicates that the library’s earthquake life-safety risk is very high compared to a new building.

10.     Owners of earthquake-prone buildings are legally obliged to mitigate seismic risk to an acceptable level within a certain timeframe.

11.     Remuera Library has been grouped amongst the buildings with highest priority for seismic strengthening due to factors including seismic vulnerability, heritage significance, and community provision.

12.     The scope of work includes strengthening the building to achieve a minimum of 67%NBS. The keys work will include strengthening the roof structure, bracing the sub-floor structure, strengthening wall-to-floor connections at the ceiling level, adding two concrete shear walls with their associated ground beam foundation, inserting cavity ties to connect brick layers in perimeter walls, enhancing existing steel parapet bracing, repairing the concrete bond beam and stitching the cracks and strengthening the Lecture Hall Entry portico. In addition to the restoration of affected areas, essential repair and maintenance, and various improvements such as fire safety enhancements, emergency lighting upgrades, accessibility enhancements, an interior cosmetic refresh to the library including paintwork and recarpeting will be carried out.

13.     The seismic construction is scheduled to begin in July 2024, with an estimated duration of 12 months. During construction the building will be closed to the public and the library service will need to be relocated.

14.     At the 28 March 2024 workshop, the local board was presented with eight potential options for the temporary relocation of the Remuera Library service. Six of these were not considered suitable due to poor access, not having the required space, or the building not being compliant. The shortlisted venues were the Somervell Memorial Presbyterian Church and Meadowbank Community Centre.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

15.     Staff investigated the two venue options (see table 1) for the relocation of the Remuera Library service during financial year 2024/2025 and found that the Somervell Memorial Presbyterian Church better met the requirements of the temporary library service without impacting other community groups already using the Meadowbank Community Centre.

16.     Staff are recommending temporarily relocating to Somervell Memorial Presbyterian Church. Somervell Church is situated close to current location at just 700m east of the library on Remuera Road. There are good public transport links and easy street parking with some onsite parking.

17.     Staff are not recommending relocating to Meadowbank Community Centre as it is currently used as a venue for hire. Relocating to the community centre would displace the current hirers and mean a reduction in revenue from hirers of around $40,000.

18.     Furthermore, Meadowbank is far from Remuera Library and local customers who use this library the most. The space has small rooms with narrow hallways not suitable for a library. The venue would only be able to accommodate a limited service with click and collect and a small browsing section for the duration of the closure.

Table 1: Options available to retain a local library service for current customers of the Remuera Library. 

​Options  

Option A: 

Relocate service to Somervell Memorial Presbyterian - Church 

Recommended

Option B: 

Meadowbank Community Centre 

 

 

​Detail  

The local board approves the rental amount, and the library relocates to Somervell Church for approximately 12 months 

Relocating to the council-owned Meadowbank Community Centre which is currently a venue hire only facility. 

​Benefits  

·   Local service continues with Somervell Church situated close to its current location. 

·   Continuing to service the existing community with a like for like service on a slightly smaller scale. 

·   Light, inviting space

·   On good bus route 

·   Some car parking available at side and rear of building 

·   Easy on street parking 

·   Easy level access to hall entrance 

·   Adequate facilities  

·   Further spaces downstairs available to book for programmes and events as required. 

·   Assessment report completed following site visit on 15 February 2024. The church was found to be generally in good condition.  

·   Easy access from main road 

·   Some parking at front of building 

·   Located on good bus route 

·   No lease cost.

​Implications  

·   Not situated in main shopping area – customers will need to make a special trip

·   Rental cost for this facility 

·   A commercial lease is needed for the duration of the seismic work.

·   Slightly smaller space 

·   Slight gap in service during relocation.

·   Far from Remuera Library and local customers  

·   Current hirers displaced and loss of revenue (about $40,000) 

·   Small rooms, narrow hallways, open kitchen and many exit doors would make it difficult to provide a safe library space

·   Service offer would be click and collect, plus a small, limited browsing collection

·   Slight gap in service during relocation.

 

19.     At the March 2024 workshop, the local board requested staff investigate Somervell Church’s lease parameters.

20.     Eke Panuku, Auckland Council’s leasing experts, negotiated with the church and have secured the lease with agreement from all parties at $100,000 gross lease which includes operational costs such as building warrant of fitness, building insurance and rates but excluding utilities.

21.     Some minor adjustments to the building will need to be made at the expense of the church, these are to be made to the site prior to taking over the lease.

22.     Once the church has completed these adjustments, the Seismic Strengthening work programme project manager will be responsible for making the space fit for purpose from the 10 June.

23.     A site visit of the church with building assessors was conducted on 15 February 2024. All building due diligence, including fire safety, accessibility, power, security, floor capacity, and asbestos, were completed.  The assessment reports found the building to be generally in good condition.

24.     It is expected that the temporary Remuera Library at Somervell Memorial Presbyterian Church will be open to the public by 15 July. The same level of services will be made available on a slightly smaller scale.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

25.     Completing the seismic strengthening work on Remuera Library will sustain a current heritage building for future generations. Maintaining current facilities is a more sustainable option than building a completely new facility.

26.     Local community services create a stronger sense of place and foster localism and place-based approaches. This has a positive impact on our resilience to climate change. 

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

27.     Connected Communities controls the regional management of local library services.  Subject to the outcome of this decision, staff will work with Parks and Community Facilities to manage the implications for the refurbishment and relocation to ensure the continuation of service.

28.     Staff will work with Eke Panuku to ensure effective management of the lease with Somervell Memorial Presbyterian Church.  

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

Local impacts and local board views

29.     The impact of losing or limiting the library services is that the local community and customers will need to travel to alternative libraries within the area.

30.     During the workshop on the 28 March 2024 there was a clear steer from the local board for staff to continue the discussion with Somervell Church and negotiate the lease as the preferred option. 

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

31.     Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its statutory obligations and relationship commitments to Māori. These commitments are articulated in the council’s key strategic planning documents, the Auckland Plan, the Long-Term Plan 2021 – 2031, the Unitary Plan, Whiria Te Muka Tangata Māori Responsiveness Framework and Local Board Plans.

32.     The recommended option as discussed in this report will benefit Māori and the wider community through the provision of a quality library service. This will enable fostering of community relationships and connections.

33.     The location for the recommended option is relatively close to the Ōrākei marae, relocating the library service will ensure it continues to service the community.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

34.     The funds for the lease of the new temporary Remuera Library relocation will need to be allocated by the local board. There is currently an underspend sitting in the 2023/2024 budget in line item 3844 Meadowbank Community Centre. This underspend is due to programming not being run at this venue which is currently only being used as a venue for hire.

35.     Staff are recommending that this underspend be reallocated to be used as the first tranche payment to the church prior to the lease commencing. 

36.     Staff are recommending that the local board allocate $39,563 in the 2024/2025 work programme line item 4353: Remuera pop up towards the Church lease cost.

37.     A contribution of $20,000 from the Regional Seismic Programme Delivery 2024/2025 work programme will also be provided to cover the cost of the lease.

Risks and mitigations

​Risk

Impact

Mitigation

Project overrun 

If the seismic project is delayed the library service will require an extension to lease term which will come at additional cost. 

This will be mitigated by working with experts dedicated to the project who will actively monitor and report on progress. Taking corrective action as needed and reporting back to staff in Connected Communities.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

38.     If the local board approve the recommended option and enter into a local lease the next steps will be for Eke Panuku to liaise with the Somervell Memorial Presbyterian Church to finalise the lease.

39.     Staff will plan for relocation and closure of the Remuera Library as of 1 July 2024 working closely with the seismic project delivery team.

40.     Some minor remedial works are required to the church as well as the fit out ahead of relocating and these will be agreed upon if approval is granted.

41.     The relocation process will begin and communication to customers will be sent with updates of the closure dates, new location, and technical information for the project.

Executive summary

BID-operating business associations within the local board area

i.        $ 192,000.00 for Ellerslie BID

iii.      $ 158,770.96 for St Heliers BID

 

 

Horopaki

Context

Auckland Council Business Improvement District (BID) Policy and BID targeted rate grant agreement.

 

11.     Auckland Council’s Business Improvement District (BID) Policy (2022) (Kaupapa Here ā-Rohe Whakapiki Pakihi) includes a total of 23 Requirements, 19 are the direct responsibility of the BID-operating business association and inform this annual report. (Attachment A).

12.     The remaining four BID Policy Requirements set out the process for establishing, expanding, and discontinuing a BID programme; and determines rating mechanisms. These will be covered within individual BID local board reports.

13.     The BID Policy does not prescribe or measure standards for programme effectiveness. That is a matter for business association members to determine. Staff, therefore, cannot base recommendations on these factors, but only on the policy’s express requirements.

14.     The BID Policy is supported by a BID Targeted Rate Grant Agreement, a three-year agreement signed by both Auckland Council and each BID-operating business association’s executive committee. The agreement sets out the relationship between the parties, how payment will be made and that compliance with the BID Policy is mandatory. The agreement confirms the business associations independence from Auckland Council. All 51 BIDs have signed a BID Targeted Rate Grant Agreement for period 1 December 2022 to 30 December 2025.

15.     This report updates the local board on compliance with the 19 BID Policy Requirements that are the responsibility of the Business Improvement District (BID), with a focus on the BIDs annual accountability reporting (BID Policy Requirement 9, 11 and 18) relating to public funds received by the BID for the 2022/2023 financial year.

16.     This report includes a copy of the individual BIDs Governance Summary documents, Attachment B, C and D. These documents include the full resolution detailing the amount of BID targeted rate grant approved by association members at their 2023 AGM for the 2024/2025 financial year. The Chair also agrees, by signing this document, to advise council of any perceived or real/current issues that can affect compliance with the BID Policy.

BID Programmes

17.     Local BID programmes should provide value to the collective business community by delivering a suite of economic activities that respond to local needs and opportunities and are agreed by the local business community. BID programmes also provide the opportunity to work with the council group and engage with local boards.

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

19.   Each business association operating a BID programme sets the BID targeted rate grant amount at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) when members vote to approve a detailed income and expenditure operational budget and business plan for the following financial year.

20.   Responsibility for delivery and outcomes of the BID programme sits with the individual BID-operating business association executive committee (provision of reporting information) and members (reviewing information provided to them by the executive committee).

21.   BID-operating business associations operate as independent Incorporated Societies. All BIDs are registered incorporated societies and need to be aware of the requirement to re-register by April 2026 under the updated Incorporated Societies Act 2022. 

Orakei Local Board BID Targeted Rates 2024/2025

22.     Orakei Local Board has three BIDs operating in their local board area. Table two shows the amount of targeted rate each BID had approved at their 2023 AGM for the 2024/2025 and linked to the council’s Long-Term Plan 2024/2034 and annual budget 2024/2025 approval process.

Decision making

Auckland Council

23.     The recommendation in this report is put into effect with the Governing Body’s approval of the Long-Term Plan 2024/2025 and its striking (setting) of the targeted rates.

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

 

Local Boards

25.     Under the Auckland Council shared governance arrangements, local boards are allocated several decision-making responsibilities in relation to BID programmes. One of these is to annually recommend BID targeted rates to the Governing Body if it is satisfied that the BID is sufficiently complying with the BID Policy.

Analysis and advice

Regional overview

26.     The BID Policy has been in place in Tāmaki Makaurau since 2022 and applies to 51 BIDs across the ā-rohe, up from 50 BIDs reported in the 2023 report to local boards.

27.     Across all 51 BID-operating business associations 92% (47 out of 51 BIDs) completed the annual accountability reporting at the time of this report.

28.     Annual accountability reporting is a requirement of the BID Policy (Requirement 11). This has meant the BID Team deviated from the BID Policy Requirement providing an extension to the due date to enable BIDs to achieve sufficient compliance for 2024/2025.

29.     The BID team observed this year BIDs have paid less attention to providing the required annual accountability documents by the 10 March 2024 due date, compared with the previous year.

Summary of BIDs meeting BID Policy Requirements

30.     51% (26) of BIDs successfully completed their annual accountability reporting by the due date of 10 March 2024.

31.     41% (21) received notification that they had missing information or documents and were provided an extension to the 10 March deadline. 

32.     4 BIDs failed to meet BID Policy Requirement 11 and the 10 March deadline and the provided extension to this deadline.

33.     BID targeted rate grants 2024/2025 - 36 increased their targeted rates between 2% to 50% for 2024/2025, while 15 maintained the fiscal status quo.

34.     Of the 11 BIDs with income under $120,000 (BID Policy Requirement 4), two BIDs now met this requirement as of 10 March 2024.

35.     Of the remaining nine BIDs, three have made no comment to increase their income. Five BIDs have increased their BID Targeted rate grant and are on track to meet this requirement by 1 July 2028 and one has indicated interest in a BID expansion project.

Regional BID Programme Growth

36.     This section provides an overview of BID programme growth across the region.

37.     Onehunga BID achieved a successful expansion ballot in February 2024. This will see them evolve from a retail focused BID into a BID encompassing retail, plus commercial and industrial areas, with a significant growth in target rate commencing 1 July 2024.

38.     Kingsland BID has confirmed at their 2023 AGM they would implement a BID expansion project in 2024/2025.

39.     Grey Lynn Business Association will be holding a ballot later this year towards establishing as a new BID from 1 July 2025.

40.     Takanini Business Association is on track to progress their BID establishment project aiming to become a new BID from 1 July 2026

 

 

BID Team: 2024 Accountability Reporting process overview.

41.     Upon receipt of individual BID annual accountability documents, staff follow a set process that includes:

·    Reviewing the accountability reporting of the previous accountability period (10 March 2023) to understand if any recommendations or feedback had been made.

·    Review the documents provided for 10 March 2024.

·    Discussion regarding observations relevant to that BID (knowledge, actions taken etc.)

·    Communicate to BID (information missing, more information required, completion of reporting).

42.     Generic observations from year 10 March 2024 accountability include:

·    Acceptance that limited local board discretionary funding was available which led to BIDS having a greater focus on efficiencies in their own BID budgets.

·    The improving quality of annual discussions between local boards and BID-operating business associations. Less emphasis on operational aspects and more discussion on how they could collaborate.

BID Policy – Requirements 9, 11 and 18

43.     Requirements 9 and 18 of the BID Policy are focused on BID affiliates having access to BID programme information and the BID targeted rate spend. It specifies a range of information BIDs must ensure are easily and freely accessible on a suitable online platform.

44.     This year a one-off ‘Website Check List’ was added to the annual accountablity reporting.  This document confirms complance against BID Policy, Requirements 9 and 18 relating to the transparency of BID information on a public platform.

45.     The BID Policy, requirement 11 sets out the documents that form the annual accountability reporting documents for each BID. These documents confirm membership decision-making has taken place regarding the BID programme at the 2023 AGM.

46.     Other reporting requirements such as the filing of annual financial statements with the Companies Office under the Incorporated Societies Act are included in this reporting.

Orakei Local Board: observations on BID Operating business associations within the area

·    Ellerslie – nothing noted.

·    Remuera  – nothing noted

·    St Heliers – nothing noted

48.     Using the documents and information submitted, the BID Team is satisfied that Ellerslie, Remuera and St Heliers BIDs have sufficiently met the BID Policy Requirements and the BID Policy for setting of the BID targeted rates for 2024/2025.

49.     Staff advise the local board to recommend to the Governing Body the setting of the targeted rates for 2024/2025 as set out in Table One.

 

 

 

 

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

50.     Through targeted rate-funded advocacy and activities, BID-operating business associations promote and can facilitate environmental sustainability programmes and climate response where appropriate.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

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

52.     BIDs work across several Council Controlled Organisations including Auckland Transport, Eke Panuku and Tātaki Auckland Unlimited.

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

Local impacts and local board views

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

54.     Ellerslie, Remuera, and St Heliers BID programmes best align with the Orakei Local Board Plan 2023, Outcome: Our Economy

Local rohe, local benefit, local funding

55.     Recommending that the Governing Body sets the targeted rates for Ellerslie, Remuera and St Heliers business associations means that these BID programmes will continue to be funded from targeted rates on commercial properties in their respective rohe. They will provide services in accordance with their members’ priorities as stated in their strategic plans.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

56.     The BID Policy and the annual accountability process does not prescribe or report on individual BID programme’s effectiveness, outcomes, or impacts. However individual BIDs may include this level of detail in other reports provided to their members. This localised project reporting is not a requirement of the BID Policy and is not part of the BID Policy annual accountability reporting.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

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

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

 

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

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

60.     For the council to be confident that the targeted rate grant funds provided to the BID-operating business associations are being used appropriately, it requires the BIDs to fully complete all annual accountability reporting and the 19 BID Policy Requirements that are the responsibility of the BID. 

61.     The council staff regularly monitor compliance with the BID Policy throughout the year including responding to queries and issues raised by council staff, members of the BID, the public and elected members.

62.     We actively grow relationships with council departments that interact with BID programmes to ensure a consistent approach is applied for the programme.

63.     The role of the local board representative is a key link between the parties involved in the BID programme in terms of communication and feedback.  Local Board representatives on BID programmes are strongly encouraged to contact the BID Team if they have any queries or concerns.

64.     This report is part of an active risk management programme to minimise inappropriate use of funds. It provides an annual update that the BIDs operating within the local board area are compliant with the BID Policy.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

65.     If the local board supports this report, it will recommend to the Governing Body that the BID targeted rates be set as part of the Long-Term Plan 2024/2034 including the annual budget 2024/2025.

66.     After the Annual Budget is approved, the council collects the targeted rate funds and distributes them in quarterly BID grant payments, effective from 1 July 2024 to Ellerslie, Remuera, and St Heliers BIDs.

Climate impact statement

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

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

Activity focus:

Sport and recreation

Project: Safe Harbour at The Landing

Location:

The Landing, Okahu Bay 8 - 10 Tamaki Drive Orakei

Summary:

Our Project is a Feasibility Study for a Safe Harbour at The Landing, as I have no doubt you will be aware this is on the OLB's concept plan for the Landing.  We are partnering with Sailability Auckland to secure a total of $19,500 towards the initial stage of this project.  Sailability Auckland's long term objective is to move to The Landing permanently, however this is not going to be possible until there is a Safe harbour that can provide all weather sheltered water for launching our boats and loading sailors from wheelchairs etc into boats from a floating pontoon.

Expertise:

The Akarana Marine Sports Charitable Trust have delivered the multimillion dollar Hyundai Marine Sports Centre.

Dates:

04/06/2024 - 04/10/2024

We will include the Boards logo on all material that goes out as part of the feasibility study and on Social media about the Safe harbour, we are also very happy to include the boards logo on our website.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

This project once completed is going to be a fantastic asset for the local community and all Marine Sports based at the Landing. The Safe harbour will provide sailors and paddlers and other Marine based sports with a safe sheltered space to launch their boats including Safety Boats. The benefits for Sailability Auckland are numerous, including being integrated with
a mainstream Yacht Club with outstanding facilities, attracting more volunteers as we will have a bigger visual presence, being able to sail in all tides which will mean we can expand our programmes. The Safe harbour will also be a great asset for running large events like World Championships and the Landing will become a much more attractive venue to host events of this size. This will also have a positive effect on local businesses as it will bring hundreds of visitors to the area.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     The recreational needs of different users are met

The project supports this priority as a Safe Harbour will allow greater numbers of people to access the Marine environment in most weather conditions and will provide much higher levels of safety especially in high winds. The Safe harbour will be used by sailors and paddlers and other Marine based sports. The Safe harbour will also be a great asset for running large events like World Championships and the Landing will become a much more attractive venue to host events of this size. This will also have a positive effect on local businesses as it will bring hundreds of visitors to the area.

Māori outcomes:

·     No Māori outcomes identified

 

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - As we are partnering with Sailability Auckland the Safe  Harbour will provide them with a safe way of accessing their boats.  The Safe harbour and related infrastructure will make the Landing not only the most accessible place in Auckland for people with disabilities to access Marine sports and leisure but probably also the most accessible in the country.

Healthy environment approach:

Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

By providing a safe place to access the marine environment for all Marine sports based
at The Landing. The Safe harbour will provide greater safer access to the sea for sailors, paddlers and other Marine sports groups. This will make getting active and out on the water much easier for all users.

Project: Removal of all Wattles, Coprosma’s, Privet’s and Tobacco plants

Location:

Auckland Netball Centre, 7 Allison Ferguson Drive, St Johns, Auckland

Summary:

Removal of all Wattles, Coprosma’s, Privet’s and Tobacco plants at Auckland Netball Centre, to provide a safe playing environment for community and participants.  In particular one area is providing a haven for “sleepers” overnight.

Expertise:

As these trees are large we are unable to undertake this project ourselves, due to H&S we need a contractor to come on site and undertake this work.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Removal of all Wattles, Coprosma’s, Privet’s and Tobacco plants that spread seeds and multiple allergens. These plants are causing a buildup of mold and are shadowing the courts which is becoming a health and safety issue as players using these courts are potentially at risk of slipping or falling causing injury to themselves. In particular one area, by the resource shed, is providing a haven for “sleepers” overnight.  We also don't want the Wattles coming up under courts and pushing through the asphalt and rubberised courts, which would be an expensive exercise.  Removing these trees will eliminate this risk.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     Neighbourhoods, community centres and public places are safe and attractive

Removal of all Wattles, Coprosma’s, Privet’s and Tobacco plants that spread seeds and multiple allergens.  By removing these plants, we can fulfill our health and safety standards, thereby reducing the risk of slips or falls for members and the community using the courts and eliminating the potential for self-inflicted injuries.

Project: Refurbishment of Womens Bathrooms

Location:

Summary:

The funding we are seeking is for the renovation of our women's changing rooms to align with our club's strategic objectives. In recent years, AURFC has made significant efforts to enhance its facilities and promote inclusivity for women and young girls interested in joining our club. 
 
The initial success of the gender-neutral changing rooms has inspired us to continue this momentum. Currently, our women's bathrooms lack essential amenities such as sanitary bins, functional sinks, proper ventilation, and a change table, posing significant challenges for our members. This inadequacy hinders families from staying at the club for extended periods. Therefore, upgrading this facility is crucial for immediate and substantial benefits to the club.

Expertise:

Ongoing maintenance of the clubrooms which has led to us being a favourable choice for a
range of community events.
We successfully managed the facility operations admid and post COVID while ensuring the
facility was maintained. During this time, we also took on the project of building gender
neutral changing sheds during a difficult period for the club. We managed the project
ourselves with support from Watts & Hughes and were able to complete the building project
within the time frame we were given by NZ Rugby.

With the change to a 15’s game for our Premier Development team we hope for a boost in numbers in our Women's program in 2024 and with a massive jump in junior girls numbers from 2022 to 2023, we want to make sure the club room facilities are ready for further increase of number this year and for future growth.
Access to wonderful facilities, thereby increasing the communities desire to become active
and play sport.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     Neighbourhoods, community centres and public places are safe and attractive

The refurbishment of the women's bathrooms supports the priority of keeping community areas safe and attractive and will not only  benefit our members and visitors to the Club but also the wider
community through the community events held at the club throughout the year.
There is a two fold benefit to the latter to both the Club and the community as being a sports club it is important to find
alternative revenue streams to ensure we can be sustainable long term and providing a venue for community events is welcomed
by the wider community. Ensuring our faciliies are fit for purpose is important in order to remain a viable option for community events.

 

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

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

Our membership base includes a significant number of maori women and we know these facilities
will be well utilised by maori from within our club and all other maori women users of the facilities of
which there will be many.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - We have disabled access.

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

We are a sports club and therefore by default encourage community involvement and for all
our members to live a healthy lifestyle.
Our club is increasing numbers in our Senior grades this season which is against the trend in
rugby across the board. We run a comprehensive pre season training programme ensuring
our players are at peak fitness when the season commences.

 

 

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

We have a wide range of ethinicities at the club with strong representation from both maori

Project: Florence; Keeping Clothes Alive Longer

Location:

Ōrakei local board area

Summary:

Florence; Keeping Clothes Alive Longer is a social enterprise designed to transform how people treat their clothes in social and one to one settings. If we are to reduce clothing industry waste, it is vital that we treat our clothes with the same patience and care that
our grandparents once did. A creative community approach to this process keeps them out of landfill and helps us maintain and upcycle garments until they are reduced to raw material for use in the clothing industry or businesses like Impactex who turn some of Florence's waste into insulation and signage.

Expertise:

Case Basket Comms ( as it is branded) works regularly with EcoMatters and other changemakers whose work is underpinned by behaviour change principles. I have instigated and been part of food scraps roll out events, and am in the middle of delivering events and education for Florence in South East Auckland, focusing on Manurewa, Pakuranga, Howick, Onehunga, Howick and Māngere Bridge. 
 
I have also, as Director, completed Oxfam and Open University's How Change Happens course, which was thoroughly useful and enlightening. 
 
Additionally, I have over 10 years of experience in public relations and public engagement. Add that to my 15+ years in the fashion industry from age 19 to 34 years and it's a magic combination!

Promotion:

As a public relations expert I plan to showcase this area of work and the Board's support to the media. All promotional assets, including social media, will include a thanks to the Board, in the same way I have thanked Auckland Council for their support in South East Auckland by using their logo and appropriate wording on posters and on / in social media posts and conversations.

 

Conflicts of interest: I had the pleasure of working with Board Chair Scott Milne many years ago and see no conflict of interest here.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

People thoroughly enjoy and benefit from learning something new while being in a social or festive/ public environment. 
 
Everyone relates to worn and unwanted clothes and no one wants to think that their community is responsible for inflating the damage that clothes in landfill are already doing. 
 
So the benefits of this project are similar to the outcomes previously listed: stonger social networks; further small community led events and get togethers; Ōrakei as a community will see less clothing waste into their rubbish bins; local community op-shops that are already struggling under the weight of clothing they cannot actually sell will not receive as much from the local community because they have been collectively educated.
 
As described earlier, the community can access all Florence's services at community centres and in public spaces, also by appointment. Please see an image of our events listed on Humanitix to show how we describe this. Awareness will be increased by significant social media and media coverage, leaflets and posters, which all lead to accessibilty.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     The community benefits from a number of community events

Firstly, let's recognise that the community, its people, and the environment are all intertwined, each reliant on the other to make life sustainable and enjoyable. By supporting Florence's reach into Ōrakei, the Board is helping us support this trifector, which in this case is led by community events. 
 
From my work with Council on the Food Scraps roll out and other projects I've been involved in (as Case Basket Comms), I know that people thoroughly enjoy and benefit from learning something new while being in a social or festive/ public environment. Events like Florence's mobile mending and pop-up events, at the very least, bring a big smile to many a face and lead to shared comments and conversations. 
 
Everyone relates to worn and unwanted clothes and no one wants to think that their community is responsible for inflating the damage that clothes in landfill are already doing, so it is of relevance to all the 90,000 people living in Ōrakei's communities. 
 
So the outcome of this community events approach are several. People will create stonger social networks; some may well start their own sewing circles and small events; people will put less clothing waste into their rubbish bins; they'll think twice about buying new 'fast fashion' and consider community clothing swap parties; they'll send less to their local community op-shops that are already struggling under the weight of clothing they cannot actually sell.

 

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·     Māori involvement in the design/concept, No Māori outcomes identified

 

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - While there may be some tasks that a severely disabled or sight impaired person is limited from participating in, all activities are possible for many people with physical and mental disabilties. Support people for some individual/s would be requested on a case by case basist to enable their participation and enjoyment. I have worked with adults and children with disabilties in the past and am confident we can happily make them feel part of workshops and pop ups.

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*

Florence's entire message and purpose is one of healthy environmental approaches about waste minimisation, care for the environment, healthy human connection. So this is pre-built into the delivery, practice and wording of every event and piece of promotion. Additionally, we advocate walking, cycling for health and the lowering of emissions. We also promote a 'taking the service to the people' approach that reduces many people travelling to a service, to one vehicle travelling to a group. This is part of the social media and public relations plan overall.

 

 

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

Our engagement concept includes working with iwi ( Ngāti Whatua Ōrakei) to incorporate collaborations on certain workshops, but this has not been developed at this point. Weaving with waste fabrics is a specific area we are keen to explore. It proudly supports all genders, ages and ethnicities - diversity and vibrancy is a key part of creative waste minimisation.

 

Financial information

Amount requested:

$9300.00

Requesting grant for:

As you'll see on the attached general financial projections for 2024-2025, I have higlighted the lines I'm seeking funding for, which is the free pop-up and mobile events (1-2 per month in Ōrakei) plus workshops and room hire, plus the significant advertising to build awareness and increase attendance and impact.

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

I would take a lesser amount and amend the number of pop ups and workshops Florence does by 50%. So, the funding I could accept in this case is $4650. This means the intial impact is lessened but I'm incredibly keen to make some headway with Florence's message and practice in these higher socio-economic, scenic communities so would accept this if the full amount could not be met.

Cost of participation:

The pop ups and mobile mending events are free / the workshops are between $20 and $30 depending on venue and subject of workshop

Seniors who are isolated or otherwise needing assistance are referred to other local support services
Volunteers are sourced from the local community and are engaged and connected with other volunteers. Several of our volunteers are new migrants or recently retired people and volunteering with Digital Seniors provides them with social connections and feelings of wellbeing.
We aim for our volunteer coaches to reflect the diverse local community population 
We work closely with Libraries and Community places to collaborate on programming so for instance, with Spark charging for emails starting in May, the library might put on a workshop on signing up for a free email account and then refer seniors to Digital Seniors for support in transferring their various apps and accounts over to their new email.
Community networks and collaboration opportunities are strenghtened

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     Activities that are led by the community, encourage and support people from all walks of life at actively participate in their community

Digital Seniors hubs are delivered by local volunteers who are trained and police vetted. On the North Shore, we have a very diverse group of volunteers ranging from Pakeha retirees to middle aged new migrants and students on working holiday visas. These volunteers come together to provide support for older adults and often work out ways to make use of each others skills to provide the best outcomes for seniors. We run social activities for the volunteers to connect outside of the hubs too. We also have a network of providers who we can reach out to if a senior needs extra support. This might be legal advice from the CAB or knowing where to go for dementia support or, as was recently the case, being connected to Asian Family Services as an isolated senior new migrant. The seniors who visit our hubs are able to engage with technology to perform everyday tasks such as booking tickets to a show; paying a bill or communicating with friends and family overseas. Seniors are not restricted on how many times they can attend. One regular of
our North Shore hubs hubs has learnt how to use zoom and Google Drive in order to learn te reo Māori. Another senior was assisted to resolve a situation where she was hacked by a boyfriend and our volunteers enabled her to protect herself. In this instance
we connected the senior with the CAB through our ecosystem of support.

We also intend to approach Ngāti Whatua Ōrākei Marae to see if they are interested in having a hub on site with local rangatahi volunteering to support their kaumātua. We spoke with someone from the marae about this at the Splash Landing event in March and they thought it would be of interest.

Project: Rates relief

Location:

43 Ridings Road, Remuera

Summary:

We seek rates relief. In rates period 2024/2025 our rates are increasing to over $10,000 for the 24/25 period.
 We are a small club with limited income from subscriptions each year and is run by volunteers to keep the costs down. The constant rates cost per annum  threatens the
sustainability of Dunholme Tennis Clubs long term future. In time we may have insufficient funds
 to reinvest in major capital items such as new court surfaces, or repairs to our
clubhouse.
Dunholme Tennis Club is being disadvantaged for owning its own land. The majority of
sports clubs in Auckland are on council land hence pay a minimal/peppercorn rate.
We are appealing to the Council's sense of fairness for encouraging community interaction.

Expertise:

Dunholme Tennis Club has been operating and engaging with the community for over 90
years. We hope this can continue well into the future.
We have been able to undertake projects over the last 10 years of upgrading ther court
surface, installing lights and improving the clubhouse. This was largely paid for by the
clubs savings over the last 12 years. We did not seek any Council funds. Moving forward
we hope to continue to deliver projects ensuring the continuation of this club providing our
expenditure doesnt increase expotentialy . With the rates increase each year  this is at risk.
The rates is 1/4 of our expenditure per annum.

Identified community outcomes:

 

Dunholme Tennis Club promotes social interaction within the community. We have club play
for mid week women on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. On Sunday afternoons and
Thursday evenings we have club play for senior members and adults who are non members
wishing to play tennis. On all these occasions all 3 courts are full and the interaction is fun and competitive. On Saturday mornings free junior coaching is very active, with
parents of the children enjoying the social interaction with other parents court side whilst
seeing their children being active improving their tennis skills. Tennis fit is run for adults
wishing to improve their skills on Tuesday evenings and Friday mornings and is open to any
participantes.
This is a very active club with only 3 courts, so it punches above its weight.
The Auckland Sports and Recreation Strategic Action Plan specifically refers to acting fairly
to encourage the growth of sports and recreation in Auckland. Dunholme Tennis Club
undertakes this, to encourage activity on and off the tennis court, with very active club days
open to all providing a relaxed inclusive sense of a community spirit.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     Activities that are led by the community, encourage and support people from all walks of life at actively participate in their community

.At Dunholme Tennis Club we encourage members of the community to partake in tennis as
often as possible. Every day there is coaching , tennis fit, club activities for both senior and
junior members. At every event we encourage members of the community to come along
and join in.
We have 260 junior members which is the largest junior membership of any club in
Auckland. Given we have only 3 courts , this highlights what an active club Dunholme is.
If we are unable to commit to large capital expenditure in the future due to insufficient
funds, this will undermine the future of this Club. Where will the local community and
children go if we cannot afford to stay where we are?
Dunholme Tennis Club was established in 1929, so it has been part of the local community
for over 90 years. The continued benefits to the community of many parents and especially
children are activity, laughter, fair play, a sense of belonging, the list goes on.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Dunholme Tennis Club has wheelchair access to our club rooms. There are stairs which lead
to the 3 courts, which make it slightly more difficult to access. Presently us do not have any
members who are bound to a wheelchair .
Currently there is weekly coaching at Dunholme for children who have either learning of physical disabilities. However not constrained by a wheel chair.

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

Dunholme Tennis Club encourages physical activity on a daily basis. We are a smoke free
club and when we provide food and drink within the club and when hosting other tennis
teams for inter club we provide healthy food and beverage.
On Saturday mornings it is delightful to see the buzz and activity of school children from the
age of 5 years learning to play tennis and being active.The parents enjoy the social aspect
of chatting with other parents and forming friendships which extends into their children’s
inter club teams as their children get older and begin competition tennis.
At all othertimes the 3 courts are in use for tennis fit, interclub, club days, coaching etc.
Keeping the people of the local area active and engaged.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$3000.00

Requesting grant for:

We are requesting funding for rates relief, which is a quarter of our expenditure per annum

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

If we are able to receive $3000 from the Council for rates relief, this takes alot pressure off the Club , allowing for the continuation of the Club for years to come.
We are a small sports club with income from subscriptions only. We own our land and
are charged residential rates by the Council. In the event of the disolution of this club the
constitution states the clubs assets will pass to an Association with simular objectives.
We hope this will not eventuate. Our contribution to the community spreads far and wide.

would also acknowledge the grant and the ongoing support of the local board in our
Facebook posts across the multiple Eastern Bays community pages that we have access to.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Contributing towards a safer community by patrolling our streets and public areas,. We
provide trained members to assist in any emergency as directed by authorities. We have on
numerous occasions assisted both members of the public and police, one notable occasion
was significant man hours spent looking for a missing person. We also act as a deterrent
through being visible at unpredictable times. Our mere presence when loud music and
alcohol are causing problems for residents can have an immediate effect.. We believe
having patrols present and visible on foot and in the patrol car assists in resident and visitor safety. Also supporting keeping our streets and neighborhood crime free.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     Neighbourhoods, community centres and public places are safe and attractive

We have a dedicated patrol car with 40 plus trained patrollers.. Typically we undertake
approximately 40 - 50 patrols a month, which last 2 - 3 hours each. We have assisted the police and members of the public
on numerous occasions. This includes finding stolen cars, assisting at accidents, reporting
graffiti, assisting during the flooding, and assisting with traffic management when incidents
happen. We actively monitor crime hotspots in the Eastern Bays.  We also have attended many events on foot patrol over summer that have been on in the Eastern Bays.

Project: From the Deck

Location:

Stream running between Bassett Rd and Ada St.

Summary:

Our project is a neighbourhood project set up to clean the stream. This has necessitated initially rubbish removal, rubbish which has been in the stream for decades.  We monitor the stream health, plant the margins, weed the planting and undertake pest control.

Expertise:

We have been working on this project since 2018, planting in winter and managing weeds through the year to ensure our planting survives. We work with Te Ngahere, professionals in the conservation area. They guide us on planting, pest and weed  control. We have a particular campaign to get rid of privet and of morning glory. Where the gradient is too steep for volunteer workers they employ their professionals.
For the 24/25 season, we would like to note the need for the installation of a drain at the top of our worst slip which was caused by water gushing down driveways and then through properties from Bassett Rd.

Promotion:

Our newsletter which goes out to our members and numerous other conservation organisations always acknowledges the great help we get from Local Boards and other organisations.

 

Environmental benefits:  Cleaning of the stream which runs down through Newmarket Park to Hobson Bay; stabilising the land, protection of the banks from slips in the future. The planting and maintenance of more canopy trees will protect from future weather events.  Canopies catch rain, protecting soil from erosion.
 
We would like the Board to note our plans for the flood damaged areas of our stream are uncertain. We are consulting drainage experts about the possibility of diverting water flooding from Bassett Rd.  We are not asking for funding for this, but wish to signal to the Board that this is our intention.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

It brings our neighbourhood together and will, in the long term, increase the stability of the banks of the stream. We work with the Council as we have a mutual benefit in ensuring the stability of the land and the clarity of the stream as it heads down to Hobson Bay. 
The stream brings this small part of our wider community together in a shared project.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     The natural environment is valued, protected and enhanced by our communities

Our main goal is to end up with a stream that feeds healthy water into the Newmarket Stream and subsequently into the Hobson Bay, thus extending the benefits our group provides to the wider community. We plant native trees which clean the stream and stabilise the banks. This is a long term exercise as the slips and gouging of the banks during the January 2023 floods demonstrated. We had considerable damage at each end of the stream where stormwater flows  into and out of the culverts and drains. The middle part of the stream which was unaffected by slips had mature planting.  This project involves most of the householders who live by the stream.

Being outside planting, getting rid of weeds and pests, just the very act of being in nature is known to assist good mental and physical health. Our organisation is all about nature. We also take opportunities when we have our community get-togethers to inform and educate people.

 

 

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

Our project is specifically geared to benefiting the waters of Auckland, both our small city stream, the Newmarket /Middleton Stream and Hobson Bay. In benefiting these areas it benefits all those who live alongside the streams and waterways. It also benefits any Aucklanders using Hobson Bay and other parts of the Waitemata harbour. 
Our project benefits people living in our inner city suburb by enabling community gatherings with a purpose. Many of our participants are older Aucklanders, often retired, so this is a god way in which they can be involved with their community. We are continuing to reach out to younger people particularly through our planting days. 
Our planting and weeding days are accessible to all in that there are those of us who prepare food and provide refreshments to those who go down to the valley even when we ourselves are not able to.

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

We would modify each element of our project, extending the years required to get to the goal of a valley of canopy trees. We would definitely not reduce the weed control as without it trees die.

Cost of participation:

No. It's not an event.  We run working bees where possible, but where the land is unstable or steep Te Ngahere make decisions on this .

Remediation of flood damage: One  member is a geologist and says this:
We have given considerable thought to  the ongoing 2025-6 programme but remediation remains uncertain because:
(i) the damage and upstream causes of the January 2003  slips have yet to be remedied
(ii) no work has been carried out  to access and repair the cracked sewer pipe located along the stream floor. This is WaterCare Job # 15463706.
 
This, however, does not impede work on undamaged, flourishing stream banks.

Project: Learn To Sail

Location:

37 Glendowie Road, Glendowie

Summary:

As we have had a tremendous success with recruitment recently and lots of new sailors coming through, we would really like to upgrade our suite of learn to sail equipment, which we provide to children as part of our learn to sail programme. This includes helmets, life jackets, spray jackets, booties and bouys. This gear is crucial to have in good condition as life jackets & spray jackets save lives! These items do deteriorate quickly and have a certain life span also. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing & having sailors safe and warm on the water is paramount. Life jackets are of course, compulsory.

Expertise:

We have been successfully been running the Introduction to Sailing and Learn to Sail programmes for several years now.  It's a matter of maintaining the gear to a quality standard and ensuring the kids are safe and comfortable on the water.  With the right gear, it makes all the difference.

Dates:

01/06/2024 - 01/09/2024

As safety equipment has a life span of potentially 5 years or even more, we are looking at hundreds of people.

We will happily put a sponsorship plaque on the wall! We could even invite some councilors to come down and 'have a go', would love to make a happy news item too. We need more of that!

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The unique thing about our club and the activities we hold, is that we are not a 'drop and run' facility for school holidays and after school care. So every single new sailor that we have at our club, isn't just an individual, it's a whole family. As parents we really love it because - as another mum so succinctly put it "It's like an instant social club". Personally, we moved to Auckland in September 2022 and Learn to Sail was the first thing I joined the kids up for (apart from school) and it has been really amazing. We have had a lot of new members recently, our club rooms are full for the first time in years! We are so lucky to get so many families together.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     Activities that are led by the community, encourage and support people from all walks of life at actively participate in their community

Because the boating club is family run, every single family is actively involved in getting the kids out on the water - big kids and little kids! There are lots of different roles we have in the club to keep it running smoothly. 
 Many of our club members are Coastguard Members and have completed safety courses such as the Maritime VHF Operator's Certificate, Day Skipper & Sea Kayaking. Having such active members is invaluable as we live on a coastal area. 
 
Our parent run galley is held every sailing day & has a small fundraising component with all purchases made at the galley. Every few weeks we hold a sausage sizzle or burger day where club members are encouraged to invite family members and friends, these are always wonderful occasions. 
 
Our club often holds regattas in conjunction with other sailing clubs in the area. We often invite Bucklands Beach Yacht Club members over to race & every year we have the East Auckland Series with Howick, Bucklands Beach, Maraetai and Glendowie Boating Clubs. There is some stiff friendly competition and it's great for the kids to travel to other destinations to sail. 
 
We actively recruit our older sailors (that have gone through the ranks) that might like to learn new skills by having them coach the younger learn to sail kids. This has been wonderful and we really enjoy seeing the kids growing up and showing great leadership skills. Many of our sailors have gone on to represent their schools, have joined race teams with larger boats & we are proud of their achievements. 
 
Every Saturday our clubrooms host the Technical Harriers Club, which is one of New Zealand's oldest remaining athletics clubs. Nowadays their focus is on walking and conservation, it's lovely to have our club as a base for them as it's such a great spot to start excursions from by foot.

Our galley has home made baking and healthy food options including free coffee and tea for parents and visitors (which is a hit)
We have loads of programmes for sailors at the club; Introduction to Sailing, Learn to Sail, Adventurers & Upskillers, Racing teams, Adult sailing and fun days. We are looking forward to our closing day on the 4th May when the parents will race coaches! 
The kids once or twice a season also go over to Karaka Bay or Bucklands Beach (weather/tide permitting) and do a scavenger hunt (rubbish pick up) combined with a picnic or iceblock. It's a great adventure and it has a really positive result too.

 

 

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

Introduction and Learn to sail is targeted at younger children from 9 to around 13. When they get older they get a bit to big to learn to sail on an optimist. This is open to boys and girls, although we have been getting more girls recently which is great!

Purchase helmets, life jackets, spray jackets, 1 upright buoy

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

We would simply use whatever funds we are provided to purchase a portion - priority life jackets - compulsory. 2nd priority Helmets as strongly recommended. 3rd Spray Jackets as cold sailors are miserable and 4th Buoy. $2000 would cover the life jackets.

Cost of participation:

no as Introduction to Sailing and Learn to Sail are ongoing things - we operate these regularly throughout the year. But Intro to Sailing is $460 per child and Learn to Sail is $360 per child.

Project: upgrade 8 Cameras and and a TandemVu ANPR camera

Location:

Tamaki Drive Mission Bay

Summary:

The attached quote is to assist us in replacing existing cameras that are failing and installing new ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras. The ANPR cameras will help service NZ Police and Auckland Transport as they have access to our camera infrastructure through Safer Cities and will receive alerts of flagged number plates.
By replacing existing cameras which are failing we will be ensuring safety for our businesses as well as clear footage for NZ Police, we have had 3 requests for camera footage by NZ Police in March. Year to date our businesses have experienced 4 burglaries and numerous incidents, ie; counterfeit notes, dine and dashes, store vandalism etc.

Expertise:

We have installed a security camera network and are now rolling out improvements to this network as old cameras fail and technology improves.

Project: Tagalad Reserve Contamination Testing

Location:

Tagalad Reserve - 6A Nihill Cres, Mission Bay

Summary:

Tagalad Reserve is finally being returned to the OLB for community use after over 7 years in lockup.  This funding is sought to assess the state of buildings and soil.  The resulting reports will assist the Local Board to understand costs to make it available and usable again and to help plan future projects.

Expertise:

We have received grants and delivered successful projects in the past.  Many previous projects were far more complex - an example is the community Open Day that we held at Tagalad Reserve to guage community interest and buy in.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The community benefits of having Tagalad Reserve buildings and grounds available for community use are huge and have been proven and documented in the report tabled at the Orakei Local Board Meeting on 21 March 24.  This project seeks to undertake the first initial step to assist in future planning for the projects required to make the facilities safe and available to use.
 
NB.  Start date for project is very dependent on the handing back of the asset to Orakei Local Board so access is available.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     Our natural areas are restored and enhanced for present and future generations

Testing on the soil and buildings for contaminants is the first step required in order for our Local Board to decide how we can restore and enhance the facilities at Tagalad Reserve and what cost might be involved.-  The funding requested in this grant only covers 2 out-buildings and the main focus is on the greenspace to determine if any special decontamination works will be required.

Healthy environment approach:

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

Soil testing is with a view to what can be done with the grounds of the reserve and at what cost.  One opportunity is to incorporate a rain garden into the design as it is currently in an area which suffers from bad flooding.  We would want to both "make space for water" and maintain accessability and usability by the community.
This project only tackles the first step to know what we are dealing with.

 

 

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

Long term this facility is seen to support all people in the community and several uses have been identified to specifically support the elderly, disabled and very young.  This particular project has no relation to people.

Summary:

Purchase two Court Rollers so we are able to clear our courts of water after rain ensuring play can continue when under normal conditions, standing water would prevent play.

Expertise:

We have managed many projects successfully within MBTC over a number of years.  We have installed new LED lighting, painted our tennis club rooms inside and out - all successfully and within budget.

As in the past we will publicly acknowledge the OLB on our website, as a contributor to the club on our website and our monthly newsletters (can be seen on our website).  We would also put-up signage at the club that OLB is the reason we have this Saturday program running.  Also at our AGM.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

At the moment if it rains (which is very common in Auckland) play is cancelled for the day, even if the rain stops there are puddles left on the courts that make them unsafe and unplayable. So an entire Saturday of Interclub and Junior Tennis can be cancelled. 
 Having rollers would Increase court play time promoting increased community and youth engagement and also fostering the growth of tennis as a sport within the community.
By providing more opportunities for individuals to participate in physical activity and social interaction, extended court play time strengthens community bonds and encourages a healthy, active lifestyle.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     Activities that are led by the community, encourage and support people from all walks of life at actively participate in their community

Mission Bay Tennis Club operates under a community-led ethos. Community involvement is central to our club as the club is run almost entirely by volunteers. Volunteer participation lies at the heart of our club, we have passionate individuals who generously contribute their time and expertise to make the club be the best it can be for our members and the community.
 
These rollers would mean that the courts can be used in all weather conditions are more likely to be utilized consistently, maximizing the community's investment in tennis infrastructure. This means more opportunities for people from different backgrounds to engage in physical activity, leading to improved health outcomes and a stronger sense of community.
 
By providing consistent access to tennis courts, regardless of weather, we hope to create opportunities for people to develop their skills and foster social connections through tennis. This is especially beneficial for youth and those who may be looking for a supportive community or recreational outlet.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - As long as they are physically able then our courts are accessible to everyone.

Healthy environment approach:

Project: NZ Barok Celebrating 20 years 2004 - 2024

Location:

St Luke's Church, 130 Remuera Road, Remuera, Auckland 1050

Summary:

NZ Barok turns 20 this year!! NZ Barok will present three concerts on 18th and 19th October featuring  a selection of our favourite baroque pieces as we celebrate twenty wonderful years of early music making. We will perform music by Brescianello, Geminiani, Telemann, Avison, Rameau, Boyce and Vivaldi. We are delighted to have soloists Jessica Shaw (recorder), Ben Hoadley (bassoon) and Greta Claringbould (soprano) join us for this special birthday concert.

Expertise:

NZ Barok delivers two annual concert series in May and October, featuring 14 core players and various guest artists from New Zealand and overseas.  In July 2024 we have scheduled an additional Midwinter Candlelight Christmas concert of popular baroque Christmas pieces in a Christmas themed St Luke’s church.    
In recent years NZ Barok has expanded its administration team to include an Operations Manager, Executive Producer, Development Director, Financial Assistant and Funding Assistant. This team works closely together to ensure good outcomes for NZ Barok.
Our cinematographer, Nina Wells, is well-respected in this field and, having worked with us on past projects, has gained invaluable insight and understanding of the needs of filming highly specialised NZ Barok concerts.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Members of the Orakei/Remuera community have been attending concerts at St Luke’s Church for 20 years. St Luke’s Church is a beautiful historic building with an acoustic ideally suited to performances of early music on period baroque instruments. Music from the baroque era is elegant, uplifting and of great solace to many people. The combination of authentic baroque performances in this atmospheric church is special to performers and audience alike.
St Luke’s Church is easily accessible by public transport (both train and bus) for our audience members who don’t drive. Also, we offer an afternoon concert on Saturday 19 October to cater to those who prefer not to attend after dark. 
By filming this concert, we allow audience members to view it again and share it with others. It also provides the opportunity for those who cannot attend in person to view the performance. This is particularly applicable for audience members who are residing in retirement villages and who may have limited mobility. We believe that this greatly contributes to their sense of belonging in the Orakei/Remuera community as they view concerts of this beautiful music in a venue that is in the very heart of their community.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     Public art and local heritage are supported by the community

NZ Barok provides much needed artistic opportunities for the region's creative economy by contracting Auckland's leading baroque specialists. NZ Barok supports specialist early musicians in their careers by including them in our concerts wherever apposite for the programming and possible within budget constraints. 
 
In terms of impact and outcomes,  Aucklanders can experience Baroque music played on historical instruments in the intimate and acoustically enhancing setting of St Luke's Church, therefore strengthening and diversifying Auckland's music sector. 
 
We have consistently had strong attendance at all our concerts, both ticketed and free. There is a strong argument to be made that NZ Barok performances fulfil a vital role in the Auckland arts scene. The historical performance of baroque music has become a world-wide phenomenon and NZ Barok fills what would otherwise be a gap in Aotearoa's arts sector. It is vital for the artistic life of our city to encourage a thriving Early Music scene, giving opportunities to both practitioners and audiences alike. Our three well attended concerts in May 2023 at St Luke's church and record numbers at Baby Baroque concerts in July 2023 suggest a continued and growing interest in authentic performances of early music.

Most people who attend our concerts are over the age of 40.

Groups can meet in a safe and warm environment offering support to those who attend.  These groups are encouraged to be vibrant by supporting others in our community, e.g. food donations for the Glen Innes Citizen’s Advice Bureau and Auckland City Mission  And our Hands and Hearts group meet to knit blankets (or peggy squares), cardigans, jumpers, hats etc for babies and toddlers that are donated to various charities, including Glen Innes Plunket, Island Child, The Petal Foundation Trust and Anglican Trust for Women and Children.  These garments help children cope with the cold during our wet winter months.
We also offer recycling (foil, plastics, batteries, glass jars and food waste) and care of our environment with community composting.  We wish to extend this further by reducing our carbon emissions, with the addition of solar panels complementing these activities.
The groups currently using our community hall provide a meeting place for different ages and stages of life, from preschool groups such as mainly music to Fast Food Fridays for all ages and Women’s Fellowship for the retired.  We can offer a friendly and inviting place to promote vibrant and engaged community groups that support each other and the wider community.

Project: 3 Way Camera - Remuera Road/Armadale Security Extension

Location:

Cnr Remuera and Armadale Road

Summary:

3 Way Camera at Remuera/Armadale Road. RBA has faced many challenges around security and shoplifting, with the completion of 303 Remuera Road, the business area will be extended to Armadale Road (the Bayleys Building) which in turn will bring immediately more office staff (real estate agents) and retail amounting to over 100 new tenants/employees instantly in July/August 2024.To protect our new members having a safe and monitored environment is crucial for our members.  Having installed new 3 way camera on St Vincents Road has already helped as apprehend thieves/ stolen cars and lost children returned to their parents. As Armadale is at the end of our Business District it will immediately secure the surrounding streetscape from the unknown.

Expertise:

The RBA has one of the best security systems in any town centre in NZ, so we are now expertise in this area of delivering the best surveillance system available.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The 3-Way camera is for security and safety within the Remuera Business area is crucial for our members, locals and visitors to know that they are being cared for whilst visiting the area. The immediate effects are so visible by our newest addition of cameras at St Vincents road which also has amazing views of the Remuera Library which has over 300 visitors daily, and of course The MetLifecare Retirement home occupants also enjoy the added security to that stretch of road.  Security is our main objective.  To know that you are safe especially for our shop owners / elderly and young locals is crucial.  Armadale Road is the street connecting Remuera Primary School to Remuera Road so in the morning and afternoons is a very busy stretch along the south side of Remuera Road with parents walking their children to and from school and multiple "Walking buses" and children on scooters and bikes.  On the north side in the afternoon we also have all of the Kings School pupils using the pathways to their homes or catching buses from Remuera Village.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     Neighbourhoods, community centres and public places are safe and attractive

Having a safe environment for members, employees and shoppers is crucial for the longevity of Remuera.  Our current security system has been one of our most positive projects the RBA has endeavoured into for both locals and members.  To have a new 3-way camera installed at the edge of the business area will be such a great tool to being a secure area to enjoy.  What we have observed by having the 3-way camera installed at St Vincents (the east edge of Remuera) is an ability to keep people and possessions safe from the criminals who seems to want to use these portals as entrance and escape routes.  This is new 3way camera would be an extension for security and safety. Whilst not directly under OLB remit I should not forget that we get asked at leat 3 times a week for footage from The NZ Police and locals which is very relevant to the security and safety of our environment.  OLB support has be much valued by their physical supporting and of course financial.

Project: From Bench to Bond: Cultivating Connections, Creating Community

Location:

Orakei Community Centre, 156 Kepa Road, Orakei, Auckland 1071

Summary:

Our project in Ōrākei fosters community-led activities for diverse participation, aiming to create inclusive spaces. Through collaborative efforts and resource provision, we empower residents to own projects enhancing social cohesion and civic pride. Interactive workshops engage locals in revitalizing outdoor areas, refurbishing benches with reclaimed materials, promoting creativity and sustainability. Gathering reusable materials locally showcases the value of a zero-waste ethos while engaging residents meaningfully. Together, we aim to cultivate a vibrant, resilient Ōrākei community where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute.

Expertise:

With over two years of experience, our organisation has successfully executed two pilot projects funded by Creative New Zealand and the Albert-Eden Neighbourhood Arts. Our work, including the acclaimed "Making Benches, Making Friends" project, has earned recognition such as the prestigious He Kākano Whakanuia award at the Kumara Awards for Placemaking in Tāmaki Makaurau. Central to our approach is a focus on spontaneity, proven effective in attracting community participation and fostering authentic interactions. Moving forward, we aim to refine our strategies by experimenting with different schedules, locations, and project durations to further engage locals and inspire their creativity. My expertise in community engagement and project management ensures the continued success of our initiatives.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

1: Enhancing Participant Creative Capacities
Our project is dedicated to enhancing participants' creative capabilities across three fundamental dimensions identified by research. Firstly, it focuses on building domain-specific knowledge, including skills like woodworking, workshop facilitation, and innovative use of materials. Secondly, it cultivates creativity skills such as improvisation, brainstorming, and assemblage. Lastly, the project aims to foster intrinsic motivation by encouraging residents to view themselves as valuable contributors to their community's creative milieu. Through active involvement in project activities, participants refine these skills and develop the impetus to initiate their own projects or collaborate with local groups, thereby enriching the community's artistic and creative tapestry.
 
2: Enhancing the Local Arts-Community Nexus
Our initiative aims to strengthen the bond between the local arts scene and the community by exploring how community spaces can complement existing facilities and infusing everyday spaces with creative potential. By encouraging residents to engage in existing initiatives or develop their own creative ventures, we enrich the local cultural landscape, fostering a vibrant and interconnected community spirit. Through this collaborative effort, we seek to create a dynamic and inclusive environment where creativity thrives, and residents feel empowered to actively contribute to the cultural life of their community.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     Activities that are led by the community, encourage and support people from all walks of life at actively participate in their community

Our Ōrākei project prioritises community-led activities and inclusivity, actively encouraging residents from diverse backgrounds to participate meaningfully. Through collaboration and resource provision, we empower all members to lead initiatives promoting social cohesion and civic pride. Interactive workshops provide a platform for residents to unite, share ideas, and creatively and sustainably revitalise outdoor spaces. By demonstrating the value of zero waste and involving residents in practical tasks, we cultivate a sense of belonging and empowerment. Through workshops where residents repurpose discarded materials, including mana whenua, we foster community connection and support. These activities promote ownership, environmental sustainability, and community unity, enhancing neighbourhood pride and well-being.

Māori outcomes:

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

Our project aims to achieve Māori outcomes by integrating tikanga, mātauranga, and te reo
throughout activities. Embracing tikanga, we foster a collaborative environment reflecting
manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, and kaitiakitanga. Participants engage with Māori
knowledge through storytelling and hands-on learning, honouring traditional practices and
contemporary expressions. Te reo Māori is woven into communications, workshops, and
interactions, promoting its recognition and revitalization. Through these efforts, we create a
culturally responsive space that respects and celebrates Māori perspectives, language, and
values. By embracing Māori culture, we aim to foster a sense of belonging and cultural pride
among participants of diverse backgrounds, contributing to the richness and diversity of the
community.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our project is committed to moderate accessibility measures for people with disabilities. We
choose venues with basic wheelchair access and facilities. Sensory considerations include
providing quiet areas upon request. We offer written materials in standard font sizes and
consider verbal communication needs. While we aim to accommodate basic mobility and
sensory requirements, we may not provide specialized equipment or services. Regular
feedback from participants with disabilities allows us to make reasonable adjustments
where possible. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for individuals with
disabilities to participate comfortably, although we may not meet every accessibility need.

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*

In line with promoting a holistic approach to environmental sustainability, we will incorporate several strategies into our project:
 Material Sustainability: Our focus will be on prioritising the use of reclaimed and recycled materials, such as discarded wooden pallets, in our bench construction workshops. By repurposing waste materials, we aim to reduce the demand for virgin resources and mitigate the environmental impact associated with production and disposal.
 
Waste Reduction: Through creative upcycling and repurposing, we will showcase the value of waste materials, encouraging residents to embrace a zero-waste mindset. By diverting materials from landfills and incinerators, we contribute to waste reduction efforts and promote sustainable resource management practices.
 
Environmental Education: Educational components will be integrated into our workshops to raise awareness about the environmental benefits of sustainable practices such as recycling, composting, and energy conservation. By empowering participants with knowledge and skills to make eco-conscious choices, we foster a culture of environmental stewardship within the community.
 
Community Engagement: Residents will be actively involved in the planning and implementation of environmental initiatives, fostering a sense of ownership and collective responsibility for our environment's health. Through participatory decision-making processes and collaborative action, we create opportunities for meaningful engagement and dialogue around environmental issues.
 
Overall, our project aims to promote a healthy environment that supports the well-being of both people and the planet by integrating these strategies into our activities.

 

 

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

Our project is designed to be inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all genders, ages, and ethnicities. We believe in the importance of creating a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. Participants from various
backgrounds are encouraged to join our workshops and contribute their unique perspectives
and skills to the creative process.
Our project specifically targets multi-generational participation, providing opportunities for
individuals of different age groups to come together and collaborate on artistic projects.
By fostering intergenerational interactions, we aim to create a rich and dynamic learning
environment where knowledge and experiences are shared across generations.
Furthermore, our project is open to individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds, including Māori and other cultural groups represented within the community. We strive to create a space where cultural diversity is celebrated and where participants have the opportunity to learn from one another's traditions, perspectives, and artistic practices.

Project: Safe Harbour at The Landing

Location:

The Landing, Okahu Bay  8 - 10 Tamaki Drive  Orakei

Summary:

Our Project is a Feasibility Study for a Safe Harbour at The Landing, as I have no doubt you will be aware this is on the OLB's concept plan for the Landing.  We are partnering with The Akarana Marine Sports Charitable Trust to secure a total of $20,000 towards the initial stage of this project.  Sailability Auckland's long term objective is to move to The Landing permanently, however this is not going to be possible until there is a Safe harbour that can provide all weather sheltered water for launching our boats and loading sailors from wheelchairs etc into boats from a floating pontoon.

Expertise:

We will be working very closely with the Akarana Marine Sports Charitable Trust that have delivered the multimillion dollar Hyundai Marine Sports Centre.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

This project once completed is going to be a fantastic asset for the local community and all Marine Sports based at the Landing. The Safe harbour will provide sailors and paddlers and other Marine based sports with a safe sheltered space to launch their boats including Safety Boats.  The benefits for Sailability Auckland are numerous, including being integrated with a mainstream Yacht Club with outstanding facilities, attracting more volunteers as we will have a bigger visual presence, being able to sail in all tides which will mean we can expand our programmes. The Safe harbour will also be a great asset for running large events like World Championships and the Landing will become a much more attractive venue to host events of this size.  This will also have a positive effect on local businesses as it will bring hundreds of visitors to the area.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     The recreational needs of different users are met

The project supports this priority as a Safe Harbour will allow greater numbers of people to access the Marine environment in most weather conditions and will provide much higher levels of safety especially in high winds.  The Safe harbour will be used by sailors and paddlers and other Marine based sports.  The Safe harbour will also be a great asset for running large events like World Championships and the Landing will become a much more attractive venue to host events of this size.  This will also have a positive effect on local businesses as it will bring hundreds of visitors to the area.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Most of our members/sailors can not access the water at The Landing as there is currently no safe way of accessing boats. The Safe harbour and related infrastructure will make the Landing not only the most accessible place in Auckland for people with disabilities to access Marine sports and leisure but probably also the most accessible in the country.

Healthy environment approach:

Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

By providing a safe place to access the marine environment for all Marine sports based at The Landing.  The Safe harbour will provide greater safer access to the sea for sailors, paddlers and other Marine sports groups.  This will make getting active and out on the water much easier for all users.

Legal status:

Charitable Trust

Activity focus:

Community

Project: Security Cameras to protect our Main Scout Building

Location:

Orakei Basin

Summary:

We are seeking funding for security cameras for our premises.  Sadly we have experienced several targeted attempted break-ins to our building in the past 6 months, and we have gained funding to replace all the doors to make it more secure.  We would like to add security cameras to protect our building and all our boating equipment to secure the investment the community has made into our organization in the long-term.

Expertise:

The 1st Orakei Sea Scouts has been in existence or nearly 80 years. Entirely run by volunteers, we have a wealth of parents with sailing experience, and the support of Scouting NZ to deliver youth leadership.

Conflicts of interest: Our Group leader is an employee at the company that has provided the quote for the security cameras.  We have obtained other competitive quotes, but this is the best one.  We can send you through those competitive quotes if you require it.  All members of the committee have moved to have these security cameras installed and we can provide a further resolution with all committee members signatures if required.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The increased security will protect our building and the boating equipment within it.  This will enable the use of these facilities and equipment for many years to come for many community members.  This will increase community participation and connection both to each other, and to the local environment.  This also leads to increasingly healthy outdoor activities such as sailing, kayaking, and camping as well as active indoor pursuits such as climbing.  We now have a fleet of optimists that enables more children to have the opportunity to learn and enhance their sailing skills, whilst encouraging communication and teamwork, and appreciation of the Orakei basin. Our organisation is entirely run by volunteers from the Orakei area, and our children are from this area and from a diverse range of backgrounds. As well as sailing, we encourage active participation in our community at events such as ANZAC Day and Community planting days etc.  This investment would support the longevity of the group to continue to support over 100 keas, cubs, and scouts, as well as all the parents involved. We also have a waitlist of over 80 children. This is a really successful community group that is an asset to the community.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

 Ōrākei

·     Activities that are led by the community, encourage and support people from all walks of life at actively participate in their community

This project will ensure that our building and boating equipment continues to be able to be used by the Orakei community for many many years to come. We are an entirely volunteer led organisation, made entirely of volunteers from the local community, and all of our tamariki are from Orakei.  We are welcoming to tamariki from all walks of life and encourage all members to actively participate in the community, not only through sailing and kayaking on the beautiful Orakei basin, but also through community clean-ups, and participation in community events such as ANZAC Day etc.

We have had several attempted break-ins at our main hall recently, and urgently need security cameras to maintain the security of our premises. The increased security will ensure that our boats and equipment remain safe and able to be used for many years by the hundreds of keas, cubs and scouts, as well as the other youth groups who use our hall regularly (such as Youthtown etc). We are an entirely volunteer-led organization, and try to keep subs as low as possible to ensure equitable participation for any children that want to join from the Orakei area.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

10.     The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to address climate change by providing grants to individuals and groups with projects that support community climate change action.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

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

Risks and mitigations

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

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

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

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

37.     The local board will receive the next performance update following the end of quarter four (30 June 2024).

Local government elections 2025 – order of names on voting documents

File No.: CP2024/05604

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide feedback to the Governing Body on how names should be arranged on the voting documents for the Auckland Council 2025 elections.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Local Electoral Regulations 2001 provide a local authority the opportunity to decide by resolution whether the names on voting documents are arranged in:

·    alphabetical order of surname;

·    pseudo-random order; or

·    random order.

3.       Pseudo-random order means names are listed in a random order and the same random order is used on every voting document.

4.       Random order means names are listed in a random order and a different random order is used on every voting document.

5.       The overseas findings on ballot order effects is controversial[3] and based on elections that differ to local government elections in New Zealand. Auckland Council has based its decisions in the past on its own statistical analysis of previous election results.

6.       The order of names has been alphabetical for the 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 and 2022 Auckland Council elections. From 2016, prior to each election a statistical analysis was conducted by RIMU Research and Evaluation Unit on the results of previous elections which each time has concluded that there is no compelling evidence that candidates being listed first were more likely to be elected. The focus was on whether there was any advantage to being listed first.

7.       RIMU extended the scope of the statistical analysis this time to include list positions other than first, and also the effects of “race[4] length”. This takes into account the number of candidates standing for a particular election race. The analysis confirms previous results in terms of candidates listed first but has found that where there are a larger number of candidates, being lower on the list in certain types of election race appeared to confer significant disadvantages. The full analysis is attached as Attachment A.

8.       This effect would be remedied by all names on the voting document being in random order. The disadvantage of random order is that it creates some friction for voters. Friction is anything that makes the voting experience harder. If names are ordered randomly then the voter has to undertake additional effort to identify the voter’s preferred candidates. This works against the overall goal of increasing voter turnout.

9.       Nevertheless, since the evidence is clear that in some cases alphabetical order creates a disadvantage, staff recommend that the order of names on Auckland Council voting documents for 2025 be random order.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Ōrākei Local Board:

a)      provide feedback to the Governing Body on whether candidate names on voting documents should be in random order given the statistical evidence that being lower on the list in certain types of election race appears to confer significant disadvantages.

Horopaki

Context

Options available

10.     Clause 31 of The Local Electoral Regulations 2001 states:

(1)     The names under which each candidate is seeking election may be arranged on the voting document in alphabetical order of surname, pseudo-random order, or random order.

(2)     Before the electoral officer gives further public notice under section 65(1) of the Act, a local authority may determine, by a resolution, which order, as set out in subclause (1), the candidates' names are to be arranged on the voting document.

(3)     If there is no applicable resolution, the candidates' names must be arranged in alphabetical order of surname.

(4)     If a local authority has determined that pseudo-random order is to be used, the electoral officer must state, in the notice given under section 65(1) of the Act, the date, time, and place at which the order of the candidates' names will be arranged and any person is entitled to attend.

(5)     In this regulation,—

pseudo-random order means an arrangement where —

(a) the order of the names of the candidates is determined randomly; and

(b) all voting documents use that order

random order means an arrangement where the order of the names of the candidates is determined randomly or nearly randomly for each voting document by, for example, the process used to print each voting document.

Previous elections

11.     In 2013, the council resolved to use alphabetical order of names, a consideration being an additional cost of $100,000 if the council chose the random order. From 2016 there has been no additional cost to use random order, due to changes in printing technology, however the council has chosen to use alphabetical order of names in past elections on the basis that statistical research did not indicate a compelling case to change to random order. 

12.     For the 2022 elections the following table outlines decisions of those regional and city councils whose data was available, with random order being used by 19 out of the 22 councils other than Auckland:

Analysis and advice

Options for 2025

Pseudo-random order and true random order

13.     Random order printing removes name order bias, whereas the pseudo-random order of names simply substitutes a different order for an alphabetical order. For example, any first-name bias will transfer to the name at the top of the pseudo-random list. The only effective alternative to alphabetical order is true random order, which means the order on every voting document is different.

14.     A disadvantage to both the random printing options is that they create friction for the voter. Friction is anything that makes the voting experience harder. If names are ordered randomly then the voter has to undertake additional effort to identify the voter’s preferred candidates. This works against the overall goal of increasing voter turnout if the friction deters any voters.

Alphabetical order

15.     The advantage of the alphabetical order printing is that it is familiar, easier to use and to understand. When a large number of candidates compete for a position it is easier for a voter to find the candidate the voter wishes to support if names are listed alphabetically.

16.     It is also easier for a voter if the order of names on the voting documents follows the order of names in the directory of candidate profile statements accompanying the voting document. The directory is listed in alphabetical order. It is not possible to print it in such a way that each copy aligns with the random order of names on the accompanying voting documents.

17.     The disadvantage of alphabetical printing is that there is now evidence from a statistical analysis of council’s previous election results, that where there are a larger number of candidates, being lower on the list in certain types of election race confers significant disadvantages.


 

Analysis of previous election results

18.     An analysis[5] of the council’s election results for 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 and 2022 is contained in Attachment A.

19.     Again, the analysis found no compelling evidence that candidates who were listed first were more likely to be elected in the last five Auckland Council elections.

20.     This time the analysis introduced consideration of positions other than first, and also of ‘election race length’ (for example, how many candidates were in each local board or ward race) and also added linear interpolation modelling.

21.     This extended analysis has found that comparing actual votes received proportional to the expected share, being lower on the list in certain types of election race appeared to confer significant disadvantages.

Conclusion

22.     A decision about the order of names on voting documents is made by resolution of the council under clause 31 of the Local Electoral Regulations 2001. Such regulations are provided for in section 139 of the Local Electoral Act 2001.

23.     Section 4 of the Local Electoral Act 2001 requires local authorities, when making decisions under the Act, to take into account the principles set out in section 4. These principles are:

(1)    The principles that this Act is designed to implement are the following:

(aa)   representative and substantial electoral participation in local elections and polls:

(a)     fair and effective representation for individuals and communities:

(b)     all qualified persons have a reasonable and equal opportunity to—

(i)     cast an informed vote:

(ii)    nominate 1 or more candidates:

(iii)   accept nomination as a candidate:

(c)     public confidence in, and public understanding of, local electoral processes through—

(i)      the provision of a regular election cycle:

(ii)      the provision of elections that are managed independently from the elected body:

(iii)     protection of the freedom of choice of voters and the secrecy of the vote:

(iv)     the provision of transparent electoral systems and voting methods and the adoption of procedures that produce certainty in electoral outcomes:

(v)     the provision of impartial mechanisms for resolving disputed elections and polls.

24.     The principles include substantial participation in the elections and public confidence in electoral processes. They also include a principle that all qualified persons have a reasonable and equal opportunity to accept nomination as a candidate. This implies a candidate should not be disadvantaged by virtue of their surname.

25.     While alphabetical ordering of names facilitates participation (supporting one of these principles), there is now evidence that this could disadvantage some candidates if they appear lower on the candidate list (compromising the principle that all persons have an equal opportunity to stand).

26.     In terms of public confidence, for the 2022 elections a website[6] criticised the council’s decision to use alphabetical order. This is the only known criticism however the council needs to be seen to be making this decision in a robust manner.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

27.     The order of names on voting documents does not have an impact on climate.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

28.     The order of names on voting documents does not have an impact on the wider group.

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

Local impacts and local board views

29.     Feedback from local boards will be reported to the Governing Body when it is asked to determine the matter by resolution.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

30.     The order of names on voting documents does not specifically impact on the Māori community. It is noted that candidates can provide their profile statements both in English and Māori and that such profile statements are contained in the candidate profile booklet in alphabetic order.  Having voting documents in alphabetic order makes it easier for any voter to match the candidate in the profile booklet.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

31.     There is no additional cost to the printing of voting documents if names are ordered using the random method.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

32.     Given the widespread adoption of random order of names on voting documents among regional and city councils, if names are ordered alphabetically there is the risk of public criticism of the council’s decision.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

33.     The feedback from the local board will be reported to the Governing Body.

Local board appointment to Emergency Readiness and Response Forum

File No.: CP2024/05216

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To make appointments for participation in a Local Board Emergency Readiness and Response Forum, coordinated by Auckland Emergency Management.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The role that local board members play during an emergency is becoming an increasingly important element of emergency management.

3.       To support this role, a Local Board Emergency Readiness and Response Forum is proposed.

4.       The terms of reference (Attachment A) show that the forum will have no decision-making role or budgetary responsibility. The vision will be “local board members with an interest in emergency management working together to strengthen their role in emergency readiness and response.”

5.       The forum will provide participants with opportunities to learn more about readiness and response in a collaborative environment, to increase their capacity to advocate for readiness and response measures, and to provide informal guidance to staff on related issues.

6.       After local boards make their appointments, an initial Emergency Readiness and Response Forum will be scheduled for July.

7.       Staff recommend the forum meet three times a year. Additional meetings can be arranged if there is urgent content that requires discussion between scheduled forum sessions.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Ōrākei Local Board:

a)      kopou / appoint up to three members to participate in the Emergency Readiness and Response Forum.

 

Horopaki

Context

8.       Following the weather events of January and February 2023, Auckland Emergency Management was subject to several reviews and various recommendations.

9.       Part of the implementation of the recommendations included the establishment of a Planning Unit and an associated Community Planning and Readiness Manager, with a team of seven Senior Community Planning and Readiness Advisors, to support readiness and preparedness at the local level.

10.     The Head of Planning Unit commenced 15 January 2024, and appointments to the Senior Community Planning and Readiness Advisor roles were made in late 2023, with the last Senior Advisor commencing their role early February 2024.

11.     All local boards have expressed a desire to be more involved in readiness and response, and to be upskilled in advance of another catastrophic weather event.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

12.     Local board members are passionate about ensuring the best outcomes for their communities before, during, and following an emergency.

13.     A number of gaps have been identified where, during an emergency, local board members did not have the information they needed to best support their communities and the emergency response. Recent events also highlighted the importance of community readiness, and the role that people played to support each other during a response.

14.     In response to this, the Auckland Emergency Management Planning Manager has written terms of reference (Attachment A) to set out the parameters of an Emergency Readiness and Response Forum, intended to provide elected members with opportunities to:

·    learn more about emergency readiness and response

·    share relevant knowledge with other local board members and with their communities

·    improve connections between participants at a governance level

·    encourage collaboration between local boards to support emergency readiness and response outcomes

·    provide informal guidance to staff in regard to emergency readiness and response

·    share relevant insights with other members of their local boards, as appropriate.

15.     The vision of the Emergency Readiness and Response Forum is “local board members with an interest in emergency management work together to strengthen their role in emergency readiness and response”.

16.     Boards are invited to appoint up to three members to the forum. Participation is at the discretion of local boards, with no obligation to appoint members. Local boards that choose not to appoint any members to the group will receive minutes and be able to watch recording of forum meetings.

17.     The group will have no decision-making role or budgetary oversight.

18.     The terms of reference set out details of meetings and communication for the Emergency Readiness and Response Forum and provide further information about the roles and responsibilities of participants. Staff advice is for the group to meet three times a year, but the meeting frequency and schedule will be confirmed in consultation with the participating elected members.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

19.     The formation and operation of the Emergency Readiness and Response Forum has no direct climate impact, particularly as the group will meet online only.

20.     The impacts of climate change on weather patterns mean that catastrophic weather events are likely to become more frequent. Response and readiness will form a significant part of ensuring that impacts on our communities are mitigated where possible.

 

 

 

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

21.     The Emergency Readiness and Response Forum will be administered by staff from the council’s Auckland Emergency Management team, with support from kaimahi in the Local Board Services department.

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

Local impacts and local board views

22.     Senior Community Planning and Readiness Advisors have been meeting with local boards during Q3 to build relationships and develop Local Board Emergency Readiness and Response Plans.

23.     The Emergency Readiness and Response Forum responds to requests from local board members to increase activity in this space and enables development and upskilling that is likely to have a positive impact on the final response plans that are produced.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

24.     Auckland Emergency Management are working with marae to provide support in emergency preparedness activities and to identify marae that may be able to provide support to communities in response.

25.     Potential topics for 2024 Readiness and Response Forum include mana whenua engagement and suggestions for improving iwi involvement at the local level.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

26.     The Emergency Readiness and Response Forum will be delivered internally and will generate no costs. The group will not manage a budget or have a financial mandate.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

27.     There is a risk that local board members who become members of the Emergency Readiness and Response Forum expect that they will play a central role in emergency response in the event of another weather event.

28.     The Emergency Readiness and Response Forum is an information-sharing forum, and the Terms of Reference are intended to clarify this, ensuring participants have a realistic expectation of the roles and responsibilities of membership.

29.     The Emergency Management Elected Members’ Guide (July 2023) is a key guiding document for elected members, providing detailed information on the role of elected members in emergency reduction, readiness, response and recovery activities.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

30.     Local boards that wish to participate in the Emergency Readiness and Response Forum will confirm which elected members they wish to appoint to the group.

31.     An initial Emergency Readiness and Response Forum will be scheduled for July 2024.

Amendment to the 2022-2025 Ōrākei Local Board meeting schedule

File No.: CP2024/04722

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek approval to add an additional or extraordinary meeting to the 2022-2025 Ōrākei Local Board meeting schedule, so the local board can review public feedback on the draft Regional Land Transport Plan 2024-2034 before providing formal views.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       At the beginning of 2024, there was a central government delay to the delivery of the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport 2024. This delay has affected the delivery of the Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) 2024-2034.

3.       Public engagement data on the RLTP will not be available to local boards until 24 June 2024. Local boards must provide their formal views on the draft RLTP before 3 July 2024 to meet Regional Transport Committee deadlines. These timeframes are outside the local board’s normal meeting cycle.

4.       To enable local boards to consider public engagement data before providing formal views, this report recommends the local board approve an additional or extraordinary meeting to the 2022-2025 Ōrākei Local Board meeting schedule. 

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Ōrākei Local Board:

a)      whakaae / approve the addition of one additional business meeting at 5:00pm on Thursday, 27 June, 2024 at the Ōrākei Local Board office to the 2022-2025 Ōrākei Local Board meeting schedule to accommodate providing formal views on the Regional Land Transport Plan after reviewing public feedback.

Horopaki

Context

5.       The Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA) have requirements regarding local board meeting schedules.

6.       In summary, adopting a meeting schedule helps meet the requirements of:

·        clause 19, Schedule 7 of the LGA on general provisions for meetings, which requires the chief executive to give notice in writing to each local board member of the time and place of meetings.  Such notification may be provided by the adoption of a schedule of business meetings.

·        sections 46, 46(A) and 47 in Part 7 of the LGOIMA, which requires that meetings are publicly notified, agendas and reports are available at least two working days before a meeting and that local board meetings are open to the public.

7.       The Ōrākei Local Board adopted its 2022-2025 business meeting schedule during its 16 May 2024 business meeting.

8.       At the beginning of 2024, there was a central government delay to delivering the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport 2024. This delay has impacted Auckland Transport’s timeframes on delivering the Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) 2024-2034.

9.       Public engagement on the draft RLTP will run from 17 May 2024 until mid-June 2024. Auckland Transport will provide a summary of public feedback to local boards on 24 June 2024.

10.     Local boards must provide formal views on the draft RLTP before 3 July 2024 to meet Regional Transport Committee deadlines.

11.     Local boards expect to see public feedback before providing their formal views. Therefore, it is recommended that local boards resolve their formal views on the RLTP after 24 June and before 3 July. These timeframes are outside the board’s normal meeting cycle.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

12.     The local board has two choices:

i)          Add the meeting as an addition to the 2022-2025 meeting schedule.

Or,

ii)         Add the meeting as an extraordinary meeting.

13.     For option one, statutory requirements allow enough time for these meetings to be scheduled as additions to the meeting schedule and other topics may be considered as per any other ordinary meeting. However, there is a risk that if the RLTP timeframes change again or the information is not ready for the meeting, there would need to be an additional extraordinary meeting scheduled.

14.     For option two, only the specific topic on the RLTP may be considered for which the meeting is being held.

15.     Since there is enough time to meet statutory requirements, staff recommend option one, approving this meeting as an addition to the meeting schedule, as it allows more flexibility for the local board to consider a range of issues. This requires a decision of the local board.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

16.     This decision is procedural in nature and any climate impacts will be negligible. The decision is unlikely to result in any identifiable changes to greenhouse gas emissions. The effects of climate change will not impact the decision’s implementation.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

17.     There is no specific impact for the council group from this report.

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

Local impacts and local board views

18.     This report requests the local board’s decision to schedule additional meetings and consider whether to approve them as extraordinary meetings or additions to the meeting schedule.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

19.     There is no specific impact to mana whenua or mataawaka from this report.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

20.     There are no financial implications in relation to this report apart from the standard costs associated with servicing a business meeting.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

21.     There is a risk that local board views on the RLTP will not be informed by public feedback. This risk is mitigated if the local board resolves to add an additional or extraordinary meeting after the public feedback data is made available on 24 June 2024.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

22.     Staff will implement the preferred process when preparing the business meeting schedule.
