Resolution
number HM/2024/136
MOVED by Chairperson
C Carter, seconded by Member I Papau:
That
the Henderson-Massey Local Board:
a)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note the
proposed enhanced pools and leisure services contract management approach.
b)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that
the proposed high-level key performance indicators for inclusion in the
service management agreements, noting that centre specific KPIs will be
developed on an annual basis and included in centre operations plans for local
board approval.
c)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that
the Revenue, Expenditure and Value Committee will consider the regional
service management contracts for pools and leisure services on 15 October
2024.
d)
whakarite / provide the following
feedback for staff to factor into advice to the Revenue, Expenditure and
Value Committee based on the proposed enhanced contract management approach
and key performance indicators.
i)
do not support the clustering of the
Massey Leisure Centre with facilities in Albert-Eden and Puketāpapa
local board areas.
ii)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that
Massey has different community needs to Mt Albert and Puketāpapa areas.
Massey has a much lower socio-economic base with a greater Māori,
Pasifika, and migrant populations. Massey is also, one of two Auckland areas
that Auckland Transport has identified as suffering transport poverty.
iii) tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that Massey is not
geographically aligned with Mt Albert and Lynnfield and therefore risks being
overlooked from the economies of scale proposed (bring leadership, staff, and
resourcing). Since Auckland Council’s amalgamation (in 2010), West
Auckland has seen numerous instances where centralisation has had a negative
effect on services.
iv)
tono / request that an equity lens be
used to address the areas of greatest need in Auckland in relation to
strategic and investment decisions, service, and funding levels.
v)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that
children and rangatahi are high users of Massey Leisure Centre therefore
Council must consider the ‘Thriving Rangatahi’ report which is
Auckland Councils plan to support the wellbeing of children and young people.
Council’s first finding in the review is that some children are
experiencing persistent disadvantage and greater hardship. Research shows
this is the case for children and young people in Massey. It is recommended
that council take a targeted approach to focus resources where they are most
needed.
vi)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note their
concern about the loss of operator knowledge in relation to West Auckland and
its unique demographic make-up.
vii) tono / request more detailed information on how the
proposed changes will affect Massey Leisure Centre including options,
baseline levels, advice, and financial costing. We are disappointed to see
that local boards must use their limited LDI budgets if they want to continue
with levels of service above baseline levels.
e) tuhi
ā-taipitopito / note that in the event of any change to service partners
and/or site allocation, staff will seek further feedback after 15 October
2024 from the Henderson-Massey Local Board around transition planning
(including timing).
f) tuhi
ā-taipitopito / note that under delegation from the Chief Executive,
staff are in the process of extending the current contracts for all currently
outsourced sites through to 31 March 2025, to provide continuity through the
busy summer period and allow for transition planning (if a change was
required).
g)
whakaae / agree that the
decision only be released and that the report and any attachments remain
confidential until the need for confidentiality no longer exists.
