3	Local Board Workshop

Item 1 – 1.32-2.15pm

Matariki Mural

Presenter/s: Sopo Su’a-Elia

(Community Broker, Community and Wellbeing)

Bobby Kennedy

(Place and Partnership Specialist, Community Wellbeing)

Summary of Discussions

The board discussed the potential of a Matariki Mural, including costs, direction and any concerns they have.

· A board member asked about the feasibility of having the art on sports fields, due to the amount of paint, as there could be issues with drainage, training times and general usage.

· A board member asked if there was an option for the mural to be closer to the shoreline. Staff advised this might be possible and it would align with next year’s Matariki theme, but this location would be less visible than a sports field.

· Chair suggested that to mitigate the usage of sports field that weekend, the board could coordinate so that the football club has an away game over the Matariki period.
