Discussion/direction
Staff discussed the accommodation
options for the Papakura Local Board. The local board advised there is not a
clear picture where the local board and Art Gallery would fit in Accent
Point. The board was concerned that the local board would be
prioritised over the Art Gallery.
The board advised:
·
the ideal would be to have library, art
gallery local board and the museum together.
·
The board wanted a meeting room dedicated to
local board. Workshops are
public.
·
Local boards have increased decision
making. Hopefully these are taken into account in assessment for new
accommodation. Staff accommodation must be taken into account to ensure
needs are met to service the local board’s requirements. The board did
not want staff supporting from Manukau from a technical link.
There was general consensus
that the 35 Coles Cres building has done it’s time. The board would
like to see as much as possible the unique features reused elsewhere, eg: the
wooden paneling.
The board felt there was
value when customer services was in the same building as the local board and
that it was important that the public could access the local board.
Action
1.
Accent Point facility - Rod Aitken to provide by
late Feb 2025 a draft layout of where the library, art gallery and local
board would be located in Accent Point.
2.
Alana McClintock to
work with local board service staff to organize a site visit to Accent Point
to understand how the Library, Art Gallery and local board services will
work.
