The Waiheke
Local Board congratulates Colin Beardon for receiving the 2024 Michele
Whitecliff Art Writing Prize for his essay “Notes on the Transit of the Artificial”.
The theme for this year’s competition was Artificial Intelligence and the
Visual Arts. Colin has a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, and founded the
international journal Digital Creativity. His winning essay reflects his stance
against the commodification of art through the increased artificiality wrought
by AI. This award is yet another string to the bow of an accomplished academic,
writer and strong advocate for Waiheke community arts.

Resolution
number WHK/2024/134
MOVED by Member R
Tucker, seconded by Member B Ranson:
That the
Waiheke Local Board:
a.
acknowledge the
community’s concerns about the sale and letting off of fireworks on
Waiheke Island and other islands within the Waiheke Local Board rohe.
b.
note the negative impact
that fireworks have on pets, horses and wildlife, noting that some animals
are killed or seriously injured in accidents after they panic because of the
noise and effects of fireworks.
c.
note the issue of ongoing
disturbance to the community from fireworks being set off throughout the
months following early November, particularly through the summer period.
d.
note the ongoing risk to
the environment of fire and that this risk is likely to be exacerbated if
climate change results in Waiheke developing an ever drier climate.
e.
Support Auckland Council
advocacy to Central Government for legislation to ban the sale of fireworks.
f.
support Auckland Council
banning the sale of fireworks from council land, such as council facilities,
parks, reserves and road berms.
g.
request Auckland Council limit
organised public firework displays to only be allowed in safe, controlled
environments that are located away from wildlife reserves, areas of
indigenous flora and fauna, and where large numbers of animals are domiciled,
with a preference to moving away from fireworks towards displays which do not
have the same adverse effects.
h.
request that Auckland
Council consider the requirement of a permit for any fireworks display,
including where fireworks are used as part of cultural celebrations.
i.
that this motion be
distributed to all local boards and the Governing Body.
