Parks and Communities Facilities: CAPEX and Underspend Presenter/s: Alex Overwater-Davis (Manager Area Operations) Manuel Raimundo (Work Programme Lead, Parks and Community Facilities) Gwyn De-Arth (Regional Aquatic Facilities Manager, Parks and Community Facilities) Blair Morrow (Local Programming Lead, Executive Office Community) Summary of Discussions Parks and community facilities staff were present to discuss current CAPEX work programme line items, as well as present options for how to proceed with the current underspend. Staff also presented on the options for a group fitness space at the Manurewa Pool and Leisure Centre. Manurewa Pool and Leisure Centre – fitness space · Staff acknowledged the centre was not built with a group fitness space, and demand is impacting centre use. · Provisional cost is estimated at $500,000 however, there were no firm details on engineering and structural considerations. · A board member asked about the feasibility of having mesh sheltering on the outdoor area due to coldness in the winter. Staff responded that a similar facility in Pukekohe is not used all the time for that reason but it does get used. · Board were in support of option one. CAPEX budget · Chairperson asked if the work programme items containing Finlayson (#51540 and #45354) can be built into one work programme line for clarity. Staff have advised that separate lines are required due to the different projects that have evolved, but will ensure no duplication of budget. CAPEX – for consideration · Staff have been scoping locations for volleyball courts. Staff have determined some sites that would be available and could be included in the next financial year if the board supports this. · The board is supportive of using the Maritime Fund to provide Weymouth and Hazards Road boat ramp security enhancements. · A board member suggested that upgrades to paths should be prioritised when the parks or playgrounds themselves are getting renewed to ensure they are fit for purpose. Staff will provide some options to the board as well as costings. Local Parks and Sports field Development · A board member asked if part of the growth funding budget allocated to the Clendon Reserve project could be brought forward to allow the work to begin now and to ensure the project doesn’t fall off the priority list.
