Summary of discussions
Staff provided a monthly
update on the 2024/2025 Parks & Community Facilities (P&CF) work
programme.
Members asked for the
toilets to be available at Central Park for the movies at the Park event.
The Chair advised staff
that the Keri Downs car park has been full of cars from the Blue Light
facility and requested an update on the status of the recent land owner
approval application.
Taz Ali provided an update regarding
community leases and sought direction for the preferred approach for the
following sites:
·
Centennial Rooms - 35 Coles Crescent - RSA Papakura has advised staff they do not have enough funds for
both the community leasing rent ($1,300 +GST) and the maintenance fee ($5000
+ GST) to occupy the site. Unless the local board decides to offer the group
a subsided rental and maintenance fee. Staff suggest seeking alternative
groups for this site or proceed with an Expression of Interest (EOI) process.
The board gave direction for an EOI process to proceed for the Centennial
Rooms.
·
Rosehill Playcentre- 76 Chichester Drive,
Papakura - The deed of surrender for this site
has been executed. Playcentre have prepared for the building to be demolished
in April 2025.
·
Elizabeth Campbell Centre - 294 Great South
Road – The building is scheduled for
renewal works proposed to commence from April 2025. Staff intend to utilise
the Elizabeth Campbell centre as a venue for hire to cater for the bookings
from Takanini hall which is currently fire damaged.
·
Papakura Lapidary Club Incorporated - Old
Wairoa Reserve - The lease streamline renewal
memo for this tenant-owned building is currently in ATLAS for review, once
completed the memo will be shared with the board for comment.
Members queried if there
was a process to find out if the Bottletop Bay boat ramp is fit for purpose.
The Chair provided an update that the ramp lip was rebuilt only 3 or 4 years
ago.
Ana Anufe sought board
direction on the preferred option for the second bore proposed for Opaheke
Sports Park prior to submitting the resource consent. Staff recommended
option one: Directional Drill as it likely the cheapest option, noting the
risk of ‘frac-out’ can be managed through design and ensuring
that the contractor is suitably qualified to the undertake the work.
Staff provided an update on
the bore that they’re ready to submit the resource consent application.
Direction:
·
The board gave direction to proceed with
option one.
·
Board gave direction for the Centennial Room community
lease to proceed to an EOI process.
Action:
Alex Overwater-Davis to
ensure maintenance is done at the top of the Papakura cenotaph to ensure
wording is legible.
