Purpose of the report

1.       To seek approval from the Papakura Local Board of the concept design developed for Te Koiwi Park, located at 29R Hunua Road, Papakura, Auckland 2110.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Papakura Local Board, recognising that Te Koiwi Park holds value to the community and Papakura Marae, approved the development of a concept plan that reflects community aspirations and priorities.  

3.       The local board allocated $58,000 of LDI Opex to undertake this concept design.

4.       The local board’s intention was to develop a concept design that the Papakura Marae would progress to detailed design and deliver.

5.       The project will contribute to several Papakura Local Board Plan outcomes including:

·        Papakura’s open spaces and recreation facilities are fit-for-purpose and well used.

·        Support Māori aspirations for katiakitanga over our natural environment for the benefit of current and future generations.

·        Support Māori to deliver community and economic benefits to the people of Papakura.

·        More people enjoy the environment in and around our local parks.

6.       This concept design was developed in consultation with Auckland Council staff and key mana whenua groups including Papakura Marae and Ngati Tamaoho.

7.       Staff recommend that the local board approve Te Koiwi Park Concept Plan, Revision C, February 2025 as the Master Concept Plan for Te Koiwi Park.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

b)      approve Te Koiwi Park Concept Plan, Revision C, February 2025 as the Master Concept Plan for Te Koiwi Park in Attachment A.

 

Horopaki

Background

16.     In March 2022 the board approved park service improvements at Te Koiwi Park that would further benefit the park and enhance visitor experience with a focus on the following:

·        Māori outcomes are to be integrated within the future vision and design of the park partnering with mana whenua and Papakura Marae.

·        Access to and connectivity within the reserve will focus on accessibility, CPTED principles in design and accurate and quality interpretive/directional information.

·        Supporting park amenities will ensure that visitation to the park is enriched through the provision of areas where people can gather together, enjoy open areas of the park for informal activity, rest, be protected from the elements and enjoy the landscaped beauty of this large informal recreational area of open space.

·        The large open space values within the park will continue to support increased Marae outdoor event and social activities.

17.     Future renewal and development programs that evolve will look to ensure that design reflects the cultural, ecological and landscape of this location.

Analysis and advice

18.     The Auckland Unitary Plan zones Te Koiwi Park as Informal Recreation. These areas are used for a variety of outdoor recreation activity and community use, generally characterised by few buildings and structures to maintain the open space character, amenity values and enable opportunities for a range of information recreational activities.

19.     Other strategic documents considered in the development of the concept design are:

·        Auckland Plan 2050

·        Te Taruke-a-Tawhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan

·        Mana Whenua Kaitaki Forum Nga Pou outcomes

·        Auckland Sport and Recreation Strategic Action Plan

·        Parks and Open Space Strategic Action Plan (2013)

·        Auckland Design Manual

·        Auckland’s Urban Ngahere (Forest) Strategy

·        Local Path Design Guidelines

·        Papakura Local Board Plan 2020

·        Te Koiwi Reserve, Reserve Management Plan 1993.

20.     Following pre-concept mana whenua consultation, the site issues and opportunities are identified as:

Table 1: Constraints and opportunities

Constraint/Issue

Opportunity

24.     The long-term plan (development of the park that can compliment aspirations of Papakura Marae and its planned expansion) is imaged in Figure 3 below.

Figure 3: Long-term concept plan

 

25.     Proposed planting species that are appropriate for use in the park are presented in Attachment A, page 34 and 35.

26.     The concept plan is designed to be able to be delivered as a series of “independent projects” to allow for a staged implementation approach. These stages can be implemented consecutively or concurrently. The independent projects are as follows:

·        path network

·        site furniture

·        signage

·        vegetation / planting

·        informal natural play areas

·        fitness area

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

42.     Risks and mitigation measures are outlined in Table 3 below.

Table 3: Risks and mitigation

Risk identified

Mitigation

Consenting

Resource consent

Consenting may be required for certain aspects of the concept design including the toilet block and drainage.

 

Early consultation with Planner’s and consents specialists would be advantageous in minimizing the risk of not being able to obtain resource consent.

Health and Safety

Public exposed to unsafe conditions during construction

Construction areas will require fencing to isolate the works from the public.

 

Other passive measures such as signage and community notifications to advise of park construction works.

Encountering hazardous landfill material during construction

Early detailed ground investigations to understand existing ground conditions in terms of the presence of any hazardous materials.

 

A Hazardous material plan should be developed and implemented during construction.

Environmental

Stormwater runoff inadequately controlled

Detailed drainage design to ensure that any future developments and their associated stormwater runoff is adequately controlled.

Reputational

Project deferred or cancelled

There is reputational risk to the council if the project is deferred or cancelled. Consultation with mana whenua, Papakura Marae and associates has raised an expectation that development of the park will occur.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

43.     If the Papakura Local Board resolve to approve the Te Koiwi Park Concept Plan, Revision C, February 2025, as the Master Concept Plan for Te Koiwi Park, then the Local Board will need to allocate funding for future years. 

44.     The proposed funding allocations are outlined as per below table, which are subject to change as the local board’s work programme is developed.

Context

9.       The local board allocates grants to groups and organisations delivering projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders and contribute to the vision of being a world class city.

10.     Auckland Council’s Community Grants Policy supports each local board to adopt a grants programme:

The local board grants programme sets out:

·    local board priorities

·    lower priorities for funding

·    higher priorities for funding

·    exclusions

·    grant types, the number of grant rounds and when these will open and close.

·    any additional accountability requirements.

 

11.     The Papakura Local Board adopted the grants programme for 2024/2025 in Attachment A and will operate two small grants and two local grants rounds for this financial year.

12.     The community grants programmes have been extensively advertised through the council grants webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters, Facebook pages, council publications, and community networks.

 

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

13.     The aim of the local board grants programme is to deliver projects and activities which align with the outcomes identified in the local board plan. All applications have been assessed utilising the Community Grants Policy and the local board grant programme criteria.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

14.     The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to address climate change by providing grants to individuals and groups with projects that support community climate change action. Community climate action involves reducing or responding to climate change by residents in a locally relevant way. Local board grants can contribute to expanding climate action by supporting projects that reduce carbon emissions and increase community resilience to climate impacts. Examples of projects include:

·     local food production and food waste reduction

·     decreasing use of single-occupancy transport options

·     home energy efficiency and community renewable energy generation

·     local tree planting and streamside revegetation

·     education about sustainable lifestyle choices that reduce carbon footprints.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

15.     Based on the main focus of an application, a subject matter expert from the relevant department will provide input and advice. The main focus of an application is identified as arts, community, events, sport and recreation, environment, or heritage.

16.     The grants programme has no identified impacts on council-controlled organisations and therefore their views are not required.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

17.     Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community grants. The Papakura Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or decline these grant applications in accordance with its priorities identified in the local board grant programme.

18.     Staff will provide feedback to unsuccessful grant applicants so they can increase their chances of success in the future.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

19.     The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to improving Māori wellbeing by providing grants to individuals and groups who deliver positive outcomes for Māori.

Activity focus:

Community

Project: Papakura Proud Day

Location:

Massey Park Athletics Track Papakura

Summary:

He Pātaka Kōrero, He Pātaka Kai, He Pātaka Hākinakina. We are seeking funding to support a Matariki Papakura Community Fun Day that celebrates te taiao, whanaungatanga, and manaakitanga.
 
This event will bring our community together to:
Honour Matariki as a time of reflection, celebration, and renewal.
Strengthen whanaungatanga through fun, inclusive activities for all ages.
Provide awesome services and activities that will uplift and support our whānau.
From kai sharing to wānanga, games, and cultural performances, this day will be a vibrant celebration of our shared identity and values.

Expertise:

Kura Cares Charity has a proven track record of delivering successful community events focused on Te Ao Māori, bringing whānau together to celebrate culture and connection. Our Papakura Proud Day attracted over 10,000 attendees, offering free kai, haircuts, face painting, entertainment, games, activities, and prizes. These events create a space for tamariki to have fun while giving parents a chance to relax and connect with others.
 
We are experienced in organizing large-scale, impactful gatherings that strengthen community bonds and provide essential support in a welcoming environment. Photos and evidence from past events are available to showcase our success.

Dates:

21/06/2025 - 21/06/2025

300 children and Adults

% of participants from Local Board

100%

Promotion:

We will prominently acknowledge the local board’s contribution across various platforms, starting with social media and online channels, where posts leading up to and following the event will highlight their support, messaging like, “This event is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Papakura Local Board.” During the event, stage announcements by the MC will publicly thank the local board for their partnership and commitment to the community, ensuring attendees recognize their vital role in making the event possible. Additionally, any media coverage, including press releases and interviews, will emphasize their contribution, while highlight videos and photography from the event will feature their logo, banners, and representatives, ensuring they are visibly and publicly celebrated for their support.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The Papakura Proud Day event will provide significant community benefits by fostering connection, pride, and well-being among residents. The event will celebrate Papakura’s diverse community and the significance of Matariki, showcasing Māori and Pasifika traditions through cultural performances, poi workshops, and storytelling, which will strengthen cultural connections and instill pride in local heritage. By bringing together whānau, tamariki, and individuals from all walks of life, the event will encourage social interaction, build relationships, and create a sense of belonging. Group activities like the three-legged egg race, tug of war, and Zumba classes will further promote teamwork and active participation.
 
With services such as free haircuts, health checks, and fitness sessions, the event also prioritizes physical, mental, and emotional well-being, promoting self-care and encouraging healthier lifestyles. The Arts and Crafts/Drawing station, cultural workshops, and interactive games will provide opportunities for tamariki and adults to express creativity, explore their talents, and learn new skills. Whānau-focused activities will create memorable experiences, bringing families together and fostering stronger bonds.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      Celebrate Papakura’s diverse community identity and culture

Our project supports the Local Board’s priority of strengthening community well-being and connection by creating inclusive, culturally grounded events that bring whānau together. Through initiatives like our Matariki Papakura Community Fun Day, we provide free kai, entertainment, activities for tamariki, and essential services, fostering a sense of belonging and unity.
 
By focusing on Te Ao Māori and celebrating Matariki, we honor cultural identity while addressing community needs, such as access to free services and opportunities for whānau to connect and relax. This aligns with the Board’s goal of building resilient, connected communities where everyone feels supported and valued.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori led - either a Māori organisation that is applying or Māori directed (came about as a request from Māori), Māori involvement in the design/concept, Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language), Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

Our project/activity is designed to achieve the above Māori outcomes by aligning with key principles of manaakitanga (hospitality and care), kotahitanga (unity), and tino rangatiratanga (self-determination) while uplifting the well-being of Māori whānau and communities. Through targeted programming and culturally responsive delivery, we aim to create meaningful opportunities for engagement, empowerment, and community connection that support Māori aspirations and outcomes.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Papakura Proud Day has been carefully planned to ensure it is accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities, allowing everyone in the community to participate and enjoy the event. Accessibility starts with the venue, which is wheelchair-accessible, featuring ramps, wide pathways, and accessible parking spaces conveniently located near the entrance. Clear signage and maps will be provided to help attendees navigate the site easily, with designated seating areas available for those with mobility challenges. Accessible restrooms will also be provided, and volunteers will be on-site to assist attendees as needed. 
To accommodate attendees with sensory sensitivities, we will include quiet zones where individuals can take a break from the noise and crowds. Performances or activities involving loud music or bright lighting will be clearly signposted in advance, allowing attendees to choose their level of engagement. These adjustments ensure that the event remains a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice

At Papakura Proud Day, we are committed to promoting a healthy environment by adopting a no smoking and zero waste approach throughout the event. These efforts align with our commitment to fostering well-being, sustainability, and community pride.To support a no smoking environment, the event will be promoted as entirely smoke-free. Clear signage will be displayed throughout the venue to remind attendees of this policy, and announcements will be made during the event to reinforce the message. We will also include educational resources about the health and environmental impacts of smoking and vaping, further encouraging participants to adopt smoke-free lifestyles. To achieve zero waste, we will implement several strategies to minimize waste and encourage sustainability. Recycling and compost bins will be placed around the venue, accompanied by clear signage to guide attendees on proper disposal. We will work with vendors and activity organizers to ensure that all packaging and materials used are recyclable, compostable, or reusable. Water refill stations will be available to reduce the use of single-use plastic bottles, and attendees will be encouraged to bring their own reusable bottles and containers.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Yes, Papakura Proud Day supports specific genders, ages, and ethnicities to ensure targeted and impactful outcomes that address the unique needs of these groups. While we are inclusive of all participants, many of our programs are specifically designed to support Māori and Pasifika communities, as these groups are overrepresented in areas of financial hardship, health disparities, and social inequities. Our goal is to create culturally responsive initiatives that uplift these communities and provide them with tools for long-term success

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

If only part of the funding for Papakura Proud Day could be secured, we would amend our plan to prioritize the essential components of the event while reducing costs in areas that would have minimal impact on the overall experience for attendees. Our main focus would remain on creating an engaging, inclusive, and celebratory event for the Papakura community, even with a reduced budget.
 
The first adjustment would be prioritizing key elements such as the main performances, community stalls, and activities that highlight the strengths and culture of Papakura. These are the core aspects of the event that bring people together and make the day meaningful. For instance, we would ensure that any performances from local schools, cultural groups, or community talent are prioritized, as they showcase Papakura’s unique identity and are cost-effective compared to external performers.

Additional information to support the application:

Papakura Proud Day 2023 at Massey Park was a huge success, uniting over 3,000 whānau through free activities, local business support, and cultural engagement. Despite no council funding, our dedicated team delivered an impactful event with fitness sessions, games, health checkups, vendors, and community stalls. We aim to expand this year, enhancing participation and sustainability while strengthening community ties. Auckland Council’s support will help us grow the event’s reach, ensure seamless execution, and provide even greater opportunities for local businesses and whānau. With funding, we can continue fostering unity, wellbeing, and cultural pride in Papakura.

Project: New weather screens for Karaka Playcentre

Location:

299 Linwood road, Karaka (Karaka Playcentre)

Summary:

Replacement of weather proofing screens in our kai area - our verandah where our tamariki eat their lunch and engage in messy play with one another. Our current screens are no longer weather proof and are becoming a safety hazard.

Expertise:

Karaka Playcentre has been an integral part of the community for multiple generations, and has provided support to families for many years, successfully delivering the Playcentre Aotearoa ethos and sense of belonging, learning, and family to locals all the while.

Dates:

01/05/2025 - 31/05/2025

People reached:

Approximately 60 families per year (SPACE users and Playcentre family)

% of participants from Local Board

Promotion:

We are happy to display a Papakura Local Board sign in our kai area in full view of all members who enjoy the new weather proofing. We will acknowlege and thank PLB in our newsletter and on our social media, and will share our funding story with National Office, in order for them to display on their website.

Please refer to my attached document for entire list of community benefits, but in summary:
-free adult learning opportunities
-adult leadership opportunities
- shared community spaces and values
-support for young families and people new to the area
-multicultural learning space
-closest playentre to nearby Papakura developments (e.g: Hingaia)
-supports school holiday programmes (access to playground)

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      Building social cohesion and connection in a culturally diverse community

Karaka Playcentre directly supports two of the ten priority areas in the Kia Ora Tāmaki  Makaurau Framework - Kia Ora te ahurea, and Kia Ora te whanau. Our main focus is of course whanau and tamariki wellbeing. Māori identity and culture is upheld in everything we do, from celebrating Matariki, to honouring our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi in line with Playcentre Aotearoa’s ethos, to opening all our meetings with a karakia. We also have many Māori learning resources, such as books, puzzles, artwork and poi.
We have families that attend Playcentre from many different cultural backgrounds from all over the world, and we love learning about other cultures alongside our tamariki. Being a parent of young children can be isolating, especially to people new to an area. Connecting with other parents, and providing children opportunities to connect with others their age, is one of the main benefits of being a Playcentre member.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our facility has access directly to this area via a ramp, so is accessible for wheelchairs. We also happily work with every family to support any child (or parents) specific needs.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

Playentre is a smoke free environment. We minimise all waste, and reuse as much as possible, including donating leftover kai to foodbanks, turning removed overhanging branches into sandpit toys, and more. Water (and milk) are the only drink choices available to children attending Playcentre, and we promote healthy eating through growing our own fruits and vegetables, and healthy eating resources such as books and healthy food toys for the tamariki to "cook" with. We encourage outdoor activities through use of our playground, sandpit, gardening, and moveable/buildable obstacle toys, balls, hoola hoops, and more.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Playcentre prides itself in being a multicultural organisation, following mātauranga Māori principles, with positions on the national board specifically for Māori, and all of our meetings and social events run with Māori culture in min.We celebrate many cultures and events - such as Diwali, Chinese New Year and more. Playcentre, and SPACE groups, are targeted at supporting and benefiting babies and toddlers, but also support the parents as well, with free adult education, leadership opportunities, and more.

Teaching practical DIY skills, frugal living techniques and mindful creativity during school holidays and the upcoming Matariki. We will deliver community activation sessions to ease the burden on households.

Expertise:

Please see Haleys CV attached for a local connection.  The ReCreators have been delivering workshops for nearly 6 years across Tamaki Makaurau and the Waikato. Our team is made up of approx 20+ creatives with a huge variety of skills from woodworking, sewing, crocheting, manufacturing design, carving etc. Our financial year stats for FY23/24 show that we have delivered 959 events across 122 community venues and with 13130 participants paying 23 creatives representing the countries and cultures of 13 countries.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

We deliver events for both tamariki, rangatahi and adults. They are popular because they 
are fun and we partner with community groups like Clendon Library, Manurewa Library and The Beautification Trust in delivery. We can do the same in the Papakura area.  
 
Reviewing the feedback we have been given to WHY people attend events 
- here in our participant's order- want to learn a new DIY skill- accessible (in a local area)
- affordable
-  taking time off for mental wellbeing and being in a community setting.
 
 Other benefits
- showcases the skills needed to live frugally and reduce pressure on whānau
- creative sustainable art/ products (woodwork, clothes, accessories, furniture)
- promotes intergenerational activities (parents working with kids)
- positive mental wellbeing through making with your hands- promotes an autonomous voice around creative vision (each project is unique)
- global waste problem (reduce extraction at source and landfill at end of life)
- promote sustainable and creative upcycling while being upskilled themselves
- provides skills and employment to creatives.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To enhance community wellbeing

We host fun community events focusing on creative reuse and a low carbon economy. Through an artistic lense, we explain that by upcycling, people are preventing extraction from Papatūānuku (water, soil, trees, biodiversity) and minimising landfill. But more than
 that - they are learning frugal living skills that require us to be resilient for the future.
 
 Learning these skills within a community setting provides participants with joy, a sense of satisfaction and of connectedness

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori led - either a Māori organisation that is applying or Māori directed (came about as a request from Māori), Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

Led by Haley Lowe  (Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāti Raukawa, English) supporoted by The ReCreators in prep, admin, project mgt and marketing. We are a wahine led, diverse and inclusive collective.  
 
 We aim to include mātauranga and tikanga Māori in our designs especially for Matariki. The ReCreators support the inclusion of Te Reo and indigenous practices in our classes. Our core belief is around kaitiakitanga.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Held in community centres and libraries with activities suitable to varying abilities.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

We promote healthy living through our core zero waste, climate action and community development values. We encourage mindfulness through crafting (which takes people off technology), we also promote intergenerational activities and learning of skills that can be taken back to the family and community. Due to the nature of the materials used we see it breaks down equity barriers and allows all people to be proud of their creations.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Yes - we are an inclusive and diverse organisation and have always promoted that through our wānanga.

Project: Whakamana Hapu Services

Location:

Active Papakura Trust - 11 Tironui Road, Papakura

Summary:

This funding will cover the cost of operations to run and facilitate our whanau hubs. These operate on a 10-week cycle, engaging families in South Auckland who are high-end needs i.e Domestic Violence, Unemployment, Youth Suicide and Family Breakdown.

Expertise:

Over the past three years, we have run 4 10 week rotations annually. Our 'Whakamana Hapu's initiative has expanded across Auckland, focusing on high-risk, low-decile areas in South Auckland, including Mangere, Otahuhu. In the communities, where families are particularly vulnerable to issues such as family breakdowns, crime, domestic violence, and substance abuse, our programs have been well-received. We evaluate our programs and events through family feedback, online surveys, and word of mouth, as our organisation has built a strong reputation in the areas we operate. The most significant evidence of our impact is the testimonials and transformed lives of the families we've supported, who arenow more open to change and seeking the right support for their health and well-being.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

A substantial number of the families we engage with reside within the Papakura area. Our Whakamana Hapu approach, which aims to connect families to improved opportunities and foster healthier lifestyles, is a crucial initiative responding to the significant need in this community. Papakura faces elevated risks across various factors impacting family health and well-being. To better comprehend and address the distinct needs of this diverse community, we provide weekly hub access. Families from Papakura can gather 2-3 times per week, actively participating in our services and programs. This regular interaction not only builds a sense of community, also provides us with essential insights into the specific needs of families in these areas. Through these collaborative efforts, we are dedicated to making a meaningful and targeted impact on the well-being of families in the Papakura area.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To enhance community wellbeing

While our primary focus is on vulnerable people within the community Maori and Pacific families, as well as singles and married/defacto couples in South Auckland, we emphasize that our services are open to all individuals, regardless of their ethnicity, race, age or gender. Over the years of operation, we have observed that most participants who engage with our programs are from Maori and Pacific communities. This observation underscores our commitment to inclusivity, acknowledging that individuals from diverse backgrounds may benefit from and contribute to the supportive environment we strive to create. Our doors remain open to everyone, fostering a sense of community that transcends ethnic,racial, and age differences, and encourages collaboration and mutual support.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Educating tamariki to be safer in, on and around water.
Boating resource to use with local schools; on Water Safety days, community events and Pool open days.
Qualified local staff to teach the CoastGuard Boating Education Program, to share CoastGuards messages.
Sharing Safer Boating knowledge, so people go out on the water prepared and safer and also are aware what to do it in trouble - to share to our Tamariki and wider community.
Knowledge to do safe rescues, how to float in the water and cope surviving in currents and waves, linking to local beaches, inlet and habours.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      More people enjoy the environment in and around our local parks, harbour and streams

By promoting and educating on Boating Safety, the community can enjoy going out on the water more and be safer.  Using Auckland's Habours, Inlets, coastline and beaches.  This will reach a range of different cultures, as our schools are multi cultural, so education will be for new immigrants, families new to the Auckland area, as well as our Maori and Island students, who like to be in the water and not always aware of the consequences and dangers. This will encourage students to share the boating messages, so families can go out boating safer and hopefully lead to less call outs for Coastguard and potentially save lives, to lower our drowning rates, with educated knowledge.
Educating our young and they can be safer using pools and different waterways with their friends and families, as the program also includes Recues, Deep water activities, River and floatation activities, so can link to different Aquatics activities - surfing, fishing, Bombing, Diving for Kai Moana...
Life Jacket knowledge - how to fit and wear& use safely, so when these are purchased from local business' they are fitted correctly and known how to wear.

Additional information to support the application:

Obtaining a Boat would add an extension to our Schools Water Safety program, adding a 'Real World' aspect, beneficial to our community, with access to many waterways, locally and around NZ.
Schools have enquired into this program, but without a boat, we haven't been able to complete their request.  Once we advise our school community this is available then we will get bookings in for the rest of 2025 and next year.
This education, is a stepping stone for schools looking at attending Wero, as they have a prior education and knowledge on their students water competency.

We offer families support by connecting them with local community services and people who care.      As will   reduced family stress which allows parents to focus on work/home instead of having to attend meetings to deal with student behaviour. It will also allow the police to focus on more serious crimes, instead of following up on poorly behaved students during school hours.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To enhance community wellbeing

We get referrals from families, local community NGO’s and police in the Papakura area, for us to work with their young people, aged between 8yr old –15rys old, 95% are Maori, the rest are of Pacific ethnicity. The reasons for them being referred is that any they wellbeing is very low they struggle with anxiety, have anger issues. They are inclined to hang out on the streets; get involved in fights often involved in crime and uses drugs. Many of them are not attending schools. They come from very vulnerable families who are struggling with everyday life; family violence is common in their homes.
The outcomes of our mentoring them is Short term – improved positive self-identity & emotional wellbeing; improved school attendance; increased respect for self & others and authority. Medium term – increased academic performance and positive behavioural choices. The cycle of underachievement is broken and social change is happening as young people set and achieve self-determined goals, changing their mind-set on the potential they have for their future. Long term – the intergenerational poverty cycle is broken. The young person achieves educational goals never before achieved in their family resulting in a change of attitude towards education and the relationship of achieving higher paid employment.
We offer families support by connecting them with local community services and people who care. As a result, family stresses are reduced. Home becomes safer and a more functional overall family wellbeing is improved. Positive changes in the community, Youth crime and destructive behaviour is reduced, enhancing community safety and wellbeing.

Summary:

We are seeking funding to run business workshop for immigrants of ethnic background who arrive in New Zealand and are interested to establish a businesses for themselves/self employed but they are facing challenges to navigate the business landscape in Papakura-Auckland

Expertise:

Our organisation has a proven track record of success within the community, and is led by our founder, who himself immigrated to NZ and succeeded in business. Having personally navigated the challenges that come with establishing a business in a new country, he understands the hurdles many immigrants face. His journey has been marked by resilience, and he is now dedicated to ensuring that others do not face the same struggles that can often demoralize and lead to abandoning entrepreneurial pursuits. This is especially important, as entrepreneurship is not just vital for personal success, but also for the well-being and future of their families.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

This project will bring numerous benefits to the community, especially for ethnic groups in Papakura New Zealand. By providing cost-free business training, it will empower ethnic entrepreneurs with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in the local business landscape. Participants will learn essential business strategies, financial management, and legal requirements, which will increase their confidence and capability to thrive in self-employment and secure employment opportunities. This will also help to bridge the gap created by limited support and guidance that ethnic entrepreneurs often face.
 
The project will promote greater social cohesion by fostering connections among diverse ethnic groups, allowing them to network, share experiences, and collaborate. By bringing people together, the initiative will build stronger, more supportive communities, where ethnic business owners can learn from one another and work collectively towards success. It will also help reduce ethnic inequalities by providing a platform for ethnic groups to be better represented in New Zealand’s business sector.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To nurture and grow relationships to achieve economic development outcomes

Our ethnic business project will provide significant benefits to the local body of Papakura by fostering diversity and supporting economic growth. By helping ethnic entrepreneurs navigate the business landscape, we are creating opportunities for a more inclusive and vibrant local economy. The participation of ethnic business owners will enrich the community with diverse perspectives, products, and services, fostering innovation and a competitive market environment.
 
Supporting ethnic businesses in Papakura will not only help reduce barriers to economic participation but will also create job opportunities, both within these businesses and through related services. This contributes to the overall economic development of the area, helping to build a more resilient, diverse, and prosperous local economy. Additionally, by nurturing local businesses, we can attract investment, promote tourism, and stimulate further community engagement, creating a more dynamic and interconnected Papakura.
 
Ultimately, this project aligns with the vision of a thriving, diverse, and economically robust community, where businesses of all backgrounds can contribute to the growth and success of Papakura.

Additional information to support the application:

For over five years, we have been operating African Business Operators in New Zealand. Traditionally, our events were informal gatherings that did not require funding, as our businesses supported us by sponsoring venues and providing food. However, with the challenging economic climate affecting many Kiwis, our organization is now in a position to bridge the gap. We aim to facilitate these events to help our businesses thrive and support our communities.

Project: Mentoring boys who dont have a father in their lives 

Location:

300 Great South Road, Greenlane

Summary:

Mentoring for Papakura boys who do not have a father in their lives. We will match boys (7-14) with good men willing to volunteer their time to help guide the boys into adulthood, leading by example and showing them what it means to be a good man. Currently we have 5 Papakura boys matched or waiting.

Expertise:

We have been matching boys since 1996 and we have matched almost 1200 boys without any safety concerns. Our gold-standard screening programme ensures each volunteer can provide what each individual boy needs. 865 of our matches have lasted more than a year; 523 more than 3 years and 350 for 5 years or more.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The Big Buddy Mentoring Programme envisions a community in which every boy experiences a nurturing one-to-one relationship with at least one adult male, which in turn allows each of them to develop into their full adult potential; capable of making informed,
responsible decisions as involved members of our community.
Without a father figure a boy will grow up searching for what it means to be a man, some are lucky and find it, others won’t and the rest of us will feel the consequences - that is boys growing into angry, sad or just plain bad men, inflicting their dysfunction on the world through crime, violence and suicide. Statistics show that about 80 per cent of men in prison in New Zealand had no functional father when growing up or no relationship with their father. Boys who grow up without a father figure can flounder a bit. They need good men in their lives to reference themselves against.
Every boy needs a father figure - a role model - and our goal is to find them one by recruiting, screening and training male volunteers towards becoming the father figures these boys need. In the process we build a better world.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      Building social cohesion and connection in a culturally diverse community

Boys with a Big Buddy in their lives are more confident, because they feel more secure. They become more resilient and are willing to try new things. Their caregivers regularly report improved behavior, better results at school and say that their boys are just happier.
The boy feels valued and this increases his self-confidence. Having a man who cares just about his well-being tells him he is worth caring about. Because he feels better about himself, he’ll try new things and learn resilience through coping with failure and success.
Research shows that boys fall through the cracks more than girls when you look at achievement. And there is a lack of male teachers in schools, not having positive male role models at school, at home and in other settings all contribute to boys not being seen and not being valued.
Many boys express deep gratitude for the opportunity to have a Big Buddy, but also some have a harder shell, and it can take time and patience to break through external defenses and get them to open up. Ultimately these are some of the issues of why our male youth suicide rates are so alarmingly high in New Zealand.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

About 25% of the boys who participate in our programme identify as Màori and about 10% of volunteer mentors are Màori.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - We spend time with the boys and their caregivers so our Mentor Manager can understand what he needs in a Big Buddy mentor. The manager then carefully selects a potential mentor and supports the match through the early stages. If a boys has special needs or physical limitations, this is taken into account during the volunteer selection process.

Healthy environment approach:

Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

We encourage our big Buddies to take the boys out and spend time together walking the dog, fishing or mowing the lawn. Shared activities strengthen the bond.

Project: TRF Programme Coordinator operating costs

Location:

Papakura High School - Willis Road, Papakura

Summary:

Our full time Programme Coordinators are based in our four local High Schools around the South Auckland area, including Papakura High School.
We are seeking funding towards our programme delivery costs for three weeks for our full time employee at Papakura High School.
Please note:  We do not receive any Government funding or funding from the schools where our external programmes are delivered.

Expertise:

We have been working for over 15 years and the programme is running successfully in four South Auckland secondary schools.  All our Programme Coordinators have grown up in The Rising Foundation programme during their schooling life, so they are uniquely equipped to identify with and support the current generation of students. We have a growing reputation as a source of reliable and employable young people. We have excellent support from all our schools and network with employers and tertiary providers, to navigate the transition from school to work effectively. We take the time and effort to know our students well as individuals and ensure they have what they need to flourish.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

1. Our students benefit from being part of The Rising Foundation because they are encouraged to excel in life and in academic achievement.
2. They benefit from having the backing of a professional and accredited team who know how to deal with the complex issues of adolescence.
3. Our students form deep friendships and supportive relationships, they learn to be honest with themselves and with others.
4. Our students’ families and schools benefit because our students are more polite, respectful, responsible, caring, grateful, collaborative and cooperative.
5. Our students choose to avoid; using violence, abusing substances and resorting to self harm or suicide.
6. Our students are confident and wholehearted.
7. Our communities benefit because every year 35-50 of our students graduate and historically go into full-time work, tertiary education or trade training which is great for the community. 8. Our students leave our programme with a full driver’s licence and with a solid pathway and ongoing support into meaningful employment.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To enhance community wellbeing

Young people who participate in The Rising Foundation Programme have a more comfortable and fulfilling journey through adolescence. The have a safe space where they are accepted and encouraged to express their abilities and their aspirations, they grow in confidence and a sense of capacity, direction and determination as they prepare to enter the world after High School. TRF Students and Alumni are leaders in their communities, they contribute and enhance the worlds they live in and they bring better incomes back to the community.
As a result of all that, they learn from our emotional wellbeing and human development themes. Our practical workshops supports their growth to be good people, grateful and respectful to their families, enthusiastic and reliable in their work, compassionate and
healthy in their long term relationships and committed and clear thinking as they progress in their careers and head towards their purpose in life.
Also getting well paid and meaningful work helps our graduates to contribute more to their families and communities. Seeing their own potential to gain a higher level of education and employment brings better prospects and greater hope for the future. Our students leave high school and begin their adult lives with a clear sense of who they are and what they want in life. We have an active network of industry training providers, tertiary institutions and employers who are seeking honest, motivated and responsible young people which our programme produces.
We see the transition from the world of school to the world of work as a vital time for ensuring a healthy start to adult life. We give our graduates every possible practical help to ensure they navigate this period successfully. In addition to these practical supports,
our in-school programme helps each student to stay in touch with their personal, family and cultural identities and to grow in empathy and compassion for the needs of the people around them. This forms the context for their career choices and their growing role as leaders of influence in their communities.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

We promote substance free living and actively reinforce the smoke free and substances free message promoted through the schools we serve.
We promote healthy food and drink options on camps/excursions and during our lunch time meetings.
We only provide water at camps and meetings. In collaborating with KiwiHarvest, we also deliver healthy food packages once a week to those families who we see as needing a 'hand up' to provide for their whanau. This also reduces the waste of food as near expired items are donated to whanau.
We always reinforce healthy lifestyles and encourage our students and staff to participate in outdoor games and boot camps which are provided free of charge within some communities.
We also have access to a free gym at our shared space facility, which enables students to use under TRF supervision.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

TRF supports all genders and ages from 12 years to 19 years during secondary schooling life. Once they leave high school we continue to support them through their adult life from 19 years to 25 years through our Transition 2 Service programme. Attached under
'supporting documents' is a pie-graph of our ethnicity stats from Papakura High School as of February 2025.

Requesting grant for:

Your grant will help contribute towards the on-going operating costs over a three week period, for our fulltime TRF Programme Coordinator based at Papakura High School.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We have our annual fundraising event lined up for Monday 10th March - Ambrose Charity Golf Day which is held at the Pakuranga Golf Club. Through this event we aim to raise funds to support our on-going staff operating costs for all 11 full time employees.
We also have corporate and private donations, philanthropic donations and the students participate in quarterly fundraisers at their respective schools to assist towards their camp costs.
As we do not receive any local Government funding, we do rely on other funders, as well as those mentioned above to assist with our on-going operating costs.
We have been operating for 16 years now, our well respected programme is successful and our annual performance which is independently audited, endorses the excellent outcomes we are achieving within our South Auckland communities.
As this is a local project, we would prefer if funding can come from within the community.

Additional information to support the application:

Our TRF Programme Coordinator was also a student on our programme while attending one of our four secondary schools. This makes our programme unique in a way that our Programme Coordinators can relate to our students as they come from the same
backgrounds.
Your on-going support encourages us to continue our efforts to enhance the overall wellbeing of the young people in our care. Knowing that Papakura Local Board shares our vision and wishes to be a big part of it is genuinely inspiring too.

·      To enhance community wellbeing

Our kaupapa is in rebuilding whanau, especially Pasifika and Maori that will lead to better development of their tamariki who are statistically disadvantaged by virtue of being from broken homes.
This year we have been collaborating with additional stakeholders to ensure we are widely known with other organisations who are in similar fields to us, this allows us to branch out and hopefully fund new ideas we have, for example pitching the Guardians Response Box to NZ Police, we now are recognised to receive referrals from the NZ Police Awhi Referrals Team and Corrections, this will allow us to engage with parents who are at the beginning of family court and to help to guide them early on.
We have presented what we do to a number of organisations including - Oranga Tamariki (Mangere) at their weekly meetings and have now been invited to do this across all their Auckland offices.
Promoting health and wellbeing to build capable and resilient communities with a sense of belonging.
Our programmes are open to everyone, from the reports we have done we have found the most support we provide is to Maori and Pacific Island Communities.
The measurable outcomes include:
1. Improve mental health
2. Reduce addiction
3. Reduce offending
4. Reduce risky behaviour
5. Reduce family violence
6. Reduce child placement

As a president, I am contributing significant amount to the events. Committee members will contribute. BUT it would be great if Local Board can support financially.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The community benefits of our project include empowering at-risk rangatahi with practical skills and confidence, leading to increased employment opportunities and reduced disengagement. By offering mentorship and life skills training, we help youth build resilience, self-esteem, and a sense of belonging. As these young people thrive, they contribute positively to the local community through active participation, role modeling, and leadership.

Our project supports the Papakura Local Board priority of youth development and empowerment by offering targeted mentorship and skills training programs that help rangatahi build confidence, gain practical skills, and pursue career opportunities. Through initiatives like barbering, beautician services, apparel printing, and spoken music, we empower youth to develop meaningful talents while also fostering life skills such as resilience, goal setting, and entrepreneurship.

Our project aligns with Māori outcomes by fostering rangatahi development through culturally responsive mentorship and skill-building opportunities. We incorporate Te Ao Māori values, such as whanaungatanga (relationships), manaakitanga (support and respect), and mahi tahi (working together), to create a safe and empowering environment for Māori youth. Our workshops in barbering, beautician services, apparel printing, and spoken music provide practical pathways for self-expression and economic independence, supporting rangatahi to achieve tino rangatiratanga (self-determination). Additionally, we engage with local Māori leaders, kaiako, and whānau to ensure our programs remain relevant, inclusive, and beneficial for the Māori community in Papakura.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Disability priorities are limited. Pending on circumstances.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

We will promote a healthy environment approach by creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive space where rangatahi feel valued and respected. This will involve setting clear guidelines for respectful behavior, encouraging open communication, and providing positive reinforcement to foster a sense of belonging. Additionally, our programs will focus on holistic well-being by incorporating discussions around mental health, self-care, and resilience into the workshops. We will also ensure that our mentors model healthy lifestyles, both physically and emotionally, to inspire youth to adopt well-rounded habits that promote their overall well-being. By maintaining a nurturing environment, we aim to create a space where youth can thrive and feel empowered to take care of themselves and their communities.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Our project is open to all rangatahi but has a strong focus on supporting Māori and Pasifika youth, who make up a significant portion of at-risk young people in Papakura. We provide culturally responsive mentorship and skill-building opportunities tailored to their needs. The program is designed for youth aged 13 to 24, ensuring they gain practical skills, personal development, and career pathways. While our workshops are inclusive and welcoming to all genders and ethnicities, we place particular emphasis on empowering young Māori and Pasifika rangatahi, recognizing the unique challenges they may face in education, employment, and personal growth.

We will ensure that all venues used for activities and events are wheelchair-accessible and have necessary facilities such as ramps, accessible restrooms, and seating arrangements. Additionally, we will provide assistance for individuals who require support, including volunteer helpers and language interpretation if needed.
For those with visual or hearing impairments, we will incorporate large-print materials, clear audio announcements, and, where possible, sign language interpretation. We will also explore the option of virtual participation for individuals who may have mobility challenges, allowing them to engage remotely.

We will also prioritize venues that support sustainable practices, such as those with energy-efficient facilities.
Additionally, our programming will include educational components that raise awareness about environmental issues and the importance of sustainability among our senior citizens. This might involve organizing workshops on gardening, recycling, and other environmentally friendly practices that seniors can implement in their daily lives.
Moreover, we will promote active participation by encouraging seniors to engage in outdoor activities, such as nature walks or community gardening, which not only fosters physical health but also strengthens their connection to the environment. By integrating these elements, we aim to create a project that not only benefits the community but also contributes to a healthier planet.

Activity focus:

Community

Project: Life and financial skills programmes at the Papakura Probation Centre.

Location:

Papakura Probation Centre - 22 Tironui Road, Takanini

Summary:

Momentum is seeking funding of $3,390.00 for two one-day life and financial skills programmes, facilitated by Life101, to be run at
the Papakura Probation Centre in May - July 2025. These programmes are for individuals soon to be released from prison, people recently released from prison and those serving community-based sentences. The programmes equip individuals with fundamental, practical life skills and self-confidence to find meaningful employment, achieve financial stability, reconnect with friends and whānau and not be a burden on their community. These two one-day programmes will directly benefit 40 at-risk individuals and indirectly the local Papakura community.

Expertise:

Momentum and our programme provider Life101 have a combined 17 years experience working with individuals in the criminal justice system. We have witnessed first-hand the challenges these individuals face in reintegration and Life101 have developed tailored
programmes to address these needs. Our unique approach integrates both life skills and financial literacy, emphasising practical application to ensure participants can apply these skills effectively. Life101's programmes are tailored to address multiple barriers
to reintegration, with a proven track record of success. Momentum's expertise and commitment to cultural responsiveness and continuous improvement further enhance our capacity to support at-risk individuals. Together, we empower participants to make
meaningful changes and successfully reintegrate into society.

Dates:

Promotion:

We actively promote the project in collaboration with the Papakura Probation Centre corrections staff to ensure maximum participation. We provide promotional posters to be displayed within the centre and distribute information sheets to potential participants,
encouraging attendance. Additionally, a member of the Papakura Local Board will be invited to attend the programmes to hand out participant certificates, fostering community recognition and support. Furthermore, we showcase each programme on our social media
pages, highlighting participant achievements and publicly acknowledging the local board's contribution. Life101 also shares posts on their social media, expressing gratitude to the funder and showcasing programme highlights and learning achievements.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The community benefits from this project in several ways:
 
Reduced Recidivism: By providing essential life and financial skills to individuals recently released from prison or serving community sentences, the project aims to reduce recidivism rates. This means fewer instances of crime and reoffending within the Papakura
community, leading to a safer environment for all residents.
 
Employment Opportunities: Equipping participants with employment and work-readiness skills increases their chances of securing jobs, contributing to the local workforce, and reducing unemployment rates. This, in turn, strengthens the local economy and supports
local businesses.
 
Financial Stability: Teaching participants money management skills helps them better manage their finances, reducing the likelihood of financial hardship and reliance on social support systems. This contributes to overall financial stability within the community.
 
Social Cohesion: The interactive nature of the programmes, coupled with opportunities for participants to share their stories and receive one-on-one support, fosters a sense of belonging, understanding, and support within the community. This strengthens social
cohesion and builds stronger community bonds.
 
Overall, the community benefits from a safer, more economically stable, and socially cohesive environment as a result of this project's initiatives.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To enhance community wellbeing

The life and financial skills programmes directly enhance community wellbeing by equipping individuals recently released from prison or serving community-based sentences with the tools to rebuild their lives, gain financial independence, and reintegrate into society in a positive and constructive way.
 
These programmes address key challenges such as underemployment, financial instability, and lack of trust in institutions, which are common barriers for people reintegrating into the community. By providing education on budgeting, saving, goal-setting, and employment readiness, we empower participants with the skills and confidence to make informed financial decisions, secure employment, and contribute to their families and local economy.
 
Beyond individual impact, these programmes create a ripple effect, benefiting participants' whānau, future employers, and the wider community. Participants who gain financial literacy and work-readiness skills are less likely to reoffend, reducing the strain on the justice system and increasing community safety. Additionally, as they develop self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and communication skills, they build stronger relationships within their families and community networks, fostering social cohesion.
 
By supporting this initiative, the local board is strengthening community resilience, reducing reliance on welfare systems, and promoting economic stability—all key elements of community wellbeing.

·      Māori involvement in the design/concept, Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language), Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

Our project prioritises cultural responsiveness, inclusivity, and collaboration to address the high representation of Māori in the criminal justice system. By integrating Māori perspectives, values, and practices, we create a culturally safe environment. We ensure
equal access for Māori participants, engaging with their communities and leaders for feedback and guidance. Collaborating with Māori stakeholders, including organisations and elders, allows us to co-design and deliver effective programmes. By fostering genuine
partnerships, we aim to empower Māori participants, addressing systemic issues and promoting positive social change within their communities.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - The programmes ensure accessibility for people with disabilities by accommodating various learning styles and needs. Life101 provide materials in multiple formats, such as written, audio, and visual, to cater to diverse learning preferences. Additionally, our facilitators
are trained to adapt their facilitation methods to accommodate different learning styles, including auditory, visual, and kinesthetic approaches. They also offer flexible scheduling and alternative communication methods to ensure that individuals with disabilities can fully participate in our activities. Overall, our commitment to inclusivity and diversity ensures that people with disabilities have equal opportunities to engage and benefit from our programmes.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice

To promote a healthy environment approach for our project, we will implement various strategies focusing on smoke-free messages, waste minimisation, and healthy options for food and drink, prioritising water as the first choice. Here's how we will achieve this:
 
Smoke-Free Messages: We will incorporate smoke-free messages into our programme materials, workshops, and programmes. This will include raising awareness about the costs of smoking and the negative health impacts. Additionally, we will create a smoke-
free environment within our programme venues and actively discourage smoking during programme activities.
 
Waste Minimisation (Zero Waste) Messages: We will emphasise waste minimisation and zero waste principles throughout our programmes. This will involve educating participants about the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling materials to minimise environmental impact. We will provide practical tips and strategies for waste reduction, such as using reusable water bottles and containers, avoiding single-use plastics, and properly sorting waste for recycling and composting. We will also aim to minimise paper usage by providing electronic resources and materials whenever possible.
 
Healthy Options for Food and Drink: We will prioritise discussing healthy food and drink options during the programmes. Water will be readily available and promoted as the first choice for hydration, with sugary drinks and unhealthy snacks minimised or eliminated. We
also discuss the costs of takeaway food versus planning and budgeting for healthy meals.
 
By incorporating these strategies into our project, we aim to create a supportive environment that promotes healthy behaviours, reduces environmental impact, and contributes to the overall well-being of participants and the broader community.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Yes, our project is designed to support individuals of all genders, ages, and ethnicities, with a specific focus on addressing the needs of Māori and Pasifika communities. Given the overrepresentation of Māori and Pasifika individuals in the criminal justice system, our
programmes prioritise cultural responsiveness and inclusivity to ensure equitable access and support for these communities. By incorporating Māori and Pasifika perspectives, values, and practices into our programmes, we aim to create a culturally safe environment where participants from these communities feel respected, valued, and empowered to engage fully in the programmes.

Project: Tautua Youth Support Services of Music learning

Location:

Summary:

We are seeking more instruments as the youth is now expanding and we are in need of more equipment to help complete our program and be fully equipped for our youth. We also need help with some cost of hiring the property used for our program. We also need some learning materials to support the program as we will be doing theory and practical learning of piano/guitar/drumming/bass playing.

Expertise:

Our group have not run a program before but we've always delivered this type of service out to our Pasefika youth. We are currently teaching our youth every Tuesdays and Fridays giving them piano lessons and bass for Tuesday with drum and guitar on Fridays. This was successful because not only we've been giving free lessons but getting lots of feedback from parents of these youths. Because of this program families are relieved to have a affordable sevice where they can get the youth to participate and make a change in their daily wellbeing and it has encouraged the youth to be fellowship and connect with other youths.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Our community can benefit from this project with free lessons we provide to the youth with music we are able to bring a diverse group of people together in the community because it transcends language limitations- instead providing its own language of rhythm and melody to enable its players and users to communicate with each other non-verbally. The community can access our project by getting in touch with us, we will be advertising our project online through Facebook and other social media platform. One of the benefits with our project it will boost the health and well-being of the youth by providing activities and practical learning of different music instruments and enhance their interest and skills. We want to encourage the community in physical activity to keep up with their strength and create tech-free zones or times this will maintain their mindset to a positive future. And another benefit the community can have from our project is to have that sense of belonging, some youths struggle with being social and with our project this will give them the opportunity to express themselves with music and just have that safe space with in our youth to being themselves around one another.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Project: 2025 Para Table Tennis Festival

Location:

Rosehill college, 5 Edinburgh Avenue, Rosehill, Auckland 2113

Summary:

Table Tennis New Zealand (TTNZ) is excited to host the 2025 Para Table Tennis Festival from 23rd September to 5th October 2025 at Rosehill College. This festival combines three national and international events whilst utilising and strengthening local partnerships and community collaborations.
The three combined events are: • 2025 ITTF-Oceania Para Championships (international event), • National Development Para Training Camp (national event), • 2025 New Zealand Para Open Championships (national event).
We are seeking funding support from Papakura local grant to help us with accessible transportation costs that will help us deliver a successful event that will benefit and leave a legacy for both the sporting community and the schools community in the Papakura area in the Auckland region.

Expertise:

TTNZ has successfully hosted international tournaments, including the 2023 ITTF Oceania Cup in Waikato. 
Combining international tournaments with local NZ initiatives is key to growing table tennis, especially for Para athletes. International events give players a chance to compete against top international opponents without the cost and challenges of traveling overseas. Competing at home also helps athletes gain valuable experience in high-pressure environments, boosting their skills and confidence. Hosting events encourages more people with disabilities to get involved in sport and strengthens NZ’s reputation as a host for global sporting competitions, opening doors for future opportunities.
TTNZ is committed to making table tennis accessible to all and growing the sport throughout the country.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Our project aims to create lasting community benefits by promoting inclusivity, leadership, and active participation in sport. As a gesture of appreciation for Rosehill College’s support, TTNZ will offer the following contributions:
 
1. Strengthen community connection through volunteer opportunities
2. Enable greater sports participation and associated health benefits of sports participation - Table Tennis equipment will be donated as legacy to schools and clubs. A weekly coaching clinic will be offered for Rosehill students. A South Auckland school community hub will be established for table tennis, where an interschools competition can be held. Currently, no opportunity exists.
3. Shared knowledge and learning of cultural diversity 
4. Additionally, we want to inspire students at Rosehill Special School through the Para Table Tennis Festival. Rosehill Special School is a special school catering to learners aged 5 to 21 with specific learning needs. Through this festival, we hope to encourage students to embrace challenges, build confidence, and discover new opportunities in sport.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To enhance community wellbeing

The ‘2025 Para Table Tennis Festival’ is being delivered through a partnership by Table Tennis NZ, Manurewa Table Tennis Club, Counties Manukau Table Tennis Association in collaboration with the wider Papakura (South Auckland) Community. The venue where the festival is being held is Rosehill College.
 
Sporting events like this one can build both social cohesion and enhance community well-being in culturally diverse regions, such as Papakura. This festival also aims to foster connections by bringing together people from different backgrounds, promote cultural understanding and encourage teamwork, whilst also improving the mental and physical health of participants, spectators, and the wider community/volunteer base.
 
To deliver this festival, Table Tennis NZ will work closely with Rosehill College and Rosehill Special School to create meaningful engagement through several initiatives:
 
Cultural Performances – The Rosehill College Kapa Haka group will perform at the opening and closing ceremonies, celebrating and sharing New Zealand’s culture and spirit.
 
Student Leadership Roles – Student leaders from Rosehill College will serve as Liaison Officers to the international teams and athletes from across NZ, helping coordinate event logistics and hospitality, gaining invaluable leadership and teamwork experience.
 
Volunteer Opportunities – Rosehill College Students will assist in setting up and packing down the event, learning the event and organisational skills.   
 
Meet and Greet Sessions – Our very own NZ Paralympian, Matthew Britz, will share his inspiring journey with Rosehill College and Rosehill Special School students, showing them that dreams are always within reach.
 
Legacy Sessions – Our member association, Counties Manukau Table Tennis will deliver weekly table tennis coaching sessions to the students. These sessions will give the students valuable experience and exposure to the sport. Additionally, the legacy is Rosehill college will be supported to establish a South Auckland community Hub, where an interschools competition can be held. Currently, no opportunity exists. Engagement in sports enhances physical health, boosts mental well-being, promotes social inclusion, improves confidence and fosters independence. The demographic of Papakura and South Auckland youth are a group that is vulnerable to negative health outcomes, and participation through sport has the power to provide positive well-being outcomes. 
Engagement with Rosehill Special School & Rosehill College – Students will be invited to experience live matches, meet Para athletes.  Students from Rosehill Special School will be invited to take part in our ‘Serve, Spin, Smash! Para Table Tennis for the Community’ programme.

John Tuki (Hapū: Maniapoto, Iwi: Raungaterangi), a Paralympian coach dedicated to inspiring others through sport, will coach our national Para athletes to prepare for the event. He has been instrumental in the development of Para table tennis in NZ and coached Matthew Britz, NZ's first Para player in 48 years. John will also organise volunteers from Counties Manukau Table Tennis to assist with event logistics. To celebrate Māori culture, Māori groups from Rosehill College will perform cultural performances at the opening and closing ceremonies, fostering a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all involved.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - The Para festival supports people with disabilities by allowing Para athletes to compete at a national and international tournament. The tournament includes Para table tennis events, giving athletes with disabilities a chance to show their skills and gain experience. This helps raise awareness of Para table tennis and encourages more people with disabilities to get involved in the sport
 
Students from Rosehill Special School will also attend to watch the matches, helping them feel included and inspired to try the sport themselves.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

The festival is 100% smoke free messaging will be present prior and during the event. 
The festival will have recycling available. The festival catering will include healthy meal options and target minimal waste. Refillable and re-usable water bottles will be provided for participants. 
Travel schedules will utilise the least trips possible to ensure lower carbon emissions via ground transportation. 
Those travelling by air are encouraged to take carbon emission offset fees. 
 
Organising the Para Table Tennis Festival helps promote a healthy and active lifestyle by encouraging students to stay active and get involved in sports. By watching top Para athletes compete, students can see the benefits of regular physical activity, including improved fitness, coordination, and mental well-being. Through our coaching clinics and engagement programmes, we provide students with opportunities to try table tennis, a sport that can be played by people of all ages and abilities. It helps develop quick reflexes, focus, and overall fitness in a fun and inclusive way.

Transport Cost associated with having accessible transportation. e.g. Wheelchair accessible vans.
 
Transporting participants (players, coaches, managers etc) between their accommodation and the venue is a necessity for the festival success. There are limited options when it comes to suitable vehicles to transport large number of disabled participants. Given the size of this event and the limit of the accessible vehicles (most vehicles can only take 1-3 wheelchair users). This event requires multiple vehicles. Freedom mobility accessible vehicles are the best solution across New Zealand to support the transport needs of this event.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

Seek Additional Funding – Explore alternative funding sources, sponsorships, or partnerships to cover gaps. We are currently seeking the funding to mitigate the shortfall.

Community

Project: Youthline Helpline Support for Papakura Youth

Location:

Youthline Manukau, 145 St George Street, Papatoetoe, Auckland

Summary:

Youthline ensures that young people know where to get help and can access support when they need it. Specifically, we are here to support all young people including those who are struggling (with their mental health and/or other issues), as well as young people who want to learn, grow and give back to their community. Across our services and particularly through our Helpline, we continue to see increased levels of complexity and risk.
 
Our Helpline is the first point of contact for thousands of rangatahi and their whānau seeking help each year and we are requesting a contribution to ensure that our Helpline service can continue to support the young people of Papakura and their whānau.

Expertise:

With over 54 years’ experience, Youthline Auckland is recognised as a leader in the youth sector and has a proven track record in successfully delivering mental health support to youth in need. Youthline is dedicated to effective partnerships and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Our work heavily relies on significant community participation and collaboration, which are crucial for delivering effective services to young people. By consistently emphasising interdisciplinary collaboration, ethical standards, transparency, and accountability, Youthline is well-equipped to succeed as a mental health charity. Youthline has played a leadership role in youth mental health and addictions intervention work across New Zealand so we set ourselves high standards to ensure that the very best support is available for young people and their families

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Our Helpline acts as a doorway for young people to receive further support. A young person will often contact the Helpline with a presenting issue, however upon further reflection and discussion with a Helpline counsellor decide that they would like additional support. They are then linked with local support services to assist their ongoing development. 
 
Research shows that when young people are engaged in community activities, linked with whānau, and given the opportunity to participate feel that they are part of something and encouraged to reach their potential, that risk taking behaviour is reduced. Evidence suggests services such as Youthline’s, which are culturally safe and responsive, can foster resilience and promote healing. Services which deliver interventions with a specific focus on resilience building, can mitigate depressive symptoms and reduce risk of suicidality and long-term adverse outcomes (Kimball and Keene, 2016)
 
It is with comprehensive training and support that our volunteers can deliver the highest possible level of support to rangatahi. In the Youthline 50 Year Impact External Review, Helpline volunteers reported gaining a wide range of useful skills from being a volunteer. In addition, there were key impacts for family and friends around raised awareness of mental health.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To enhance community wellbeing

Youthline works inclusively with youth, from those young people who are most vulnerable to youth leaders who are championing change.
 
In the last 5 years, Youthline has seen an unprecedented increase in the rate of mental distress amongst young people. We know that the youth mental health crisis is not showing signs of abating. In FY24 our teams managed 357,014 contacts from 14,725 unique clients, an increase of 38% and 29.6% respectively from FY23. For the year ending March 2025 we are on track to support 18,000 unique clients via our Helpline service.
 
Last year we talked to young people across New Zealand about the critical issues they are facing, from social media to the impacts of extreme weather events, and the ongoing impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Their insights are captured in our Youthline State of the Generation 2023 Report and they make sobering reading:  
 
Covid-19
Covid-19 had a profound effect on how young people felt about themselves and the world around them. Two years on, the percentage of young people for whom the following issues have started or worsened are: Stress (44%), Anxiety (38%), Economic uncertainty/debt (36%), Loneliness (33%), Schooling/education (33%).  
 
Vaping
This is a key issue for young teens aged 13 – 15 years old. Amongst 16 - 24 year olds, vaping is perceived to be more of an issue than other substances such as smoking, alcohol and drugs. 
 
Extreme weather impacts and economic uncertainty  
One in four young people surveyed said they had been affected by recent extreme weather events. Of those, two in four reported stress or mental health issues being exacerbated as a result. Young people stressed by extreme weather events are fearful more extreme weather will occur and concerned about the changing climate.  
 
Economic uncertainty is becoming more of an issue for young people, with 10% identifying it as the biggest issue facing young people, compared to just 4% in 2021.
 
Social media  
Nearly half of young people surveyed (49%) viewed social media as a key issue facing their generation, with the greatest concern being its effect on mental health and potential to cause social problems such as bullying and setting unrealistic expectations. The addictive and pervasive nature of social media is also of concern for one in three. 
 
It’s clear that mental health remains a key issue for young people, with three in four young people surveyed in our Youthline State of the Generation 2023 report agreeing that mental health is a problem for their generation.
 
The Helpline is a national, multichannel telehealth service providing access across the whole of New Zealand. This service enables us to be available to approximately 850,000 young people living in New Zealand aged 12–24 years including over 100,000 young people (12%) who are living in rural parts of New Zealand where there is evidence that deprivation and lack of access to support services is felt more acutely. 
 
The free Youthline Helpline is at the heart of our mahi and provides crucial support to young people who may be vulnerable, isolated or marginalised. Young people in need who contact us through our Helpline often feel lonely, alone, disengaged and desperate. They often have a reduced sense of belonging to family, school or community. 
 
Via our Helpline service rangatahi are equipped with skills and insights on how to build self-esteem and improve mental-health, how to actively problem-solve, recover from setbacks and build resilience. Through their improved emotional and self-management skills rangatahi are less likely to fall into helplessness, depression, addictive behaviours, dangerous relationships and unemployment. We aim to ensure that the young people we work with have clear pathways from school to work and we aim to engender a sense of belonging to their family, school and the community in which they live. 
 
Young people, via contact with Youthline Helpline are provided with support that helps them to
 
- Gain increased confidence/self-esteem
- Develop motivation and feel inspired 
- Identify their support systems 
- Gain insight from looking at situation or emotions in a different way/perspective
- Process feelings and emotions
- Improve relationships 
- Feel less isolated and have a sense of belonging 
- Set goals and make plans
- Improve their wellbeing
- Build and preserve resilience to respond to future adverse events 
- Link in with other agencies through referrals for personalised support
- Contribute positively to their own community
 
Youth will:
- be connected to themselves, their passions, communities and each other to build their sense of self-esteem, agency and purpose. Holding space for connection, collaboration and community building.
 
- find a safe place to turn to when they need to, where they feel supported to deal with the hard stuff, to stabilise and reach safety.
 
- be empowered to believe in themselves and to live a life that they choose as we believe in and recognise their strengths and inspire hope.
 
Research also shows Youthline’s strengths include having trained volunteers who can help and with young people supporting other young people. A conversation on the Helpline gives these young people an opportunity to talk through their stressors and issues while exploring their internal and external resources, placing them at the heart of their own solutions and supporting positive decision making towards their own wellbeing. 
 
Providing a free 24 hours per day, 365 days a year, multi-channel service means Youthline can respond immediately to young people with mild to moderate/severe, and imminent risk (suicide and/or abuse), however we are also well placed to provide a continuum of support options through our wraparound services. These include easy access to free counselling (online or in-person) and/or programmes specifically focused on equipping young people with the skills they need to build resilience and achieve positive mental health outcomes. We consider the safety of every young person (or concerned family member) as paramount. Where opportunities for additional supports are identified or issues requiring escalation, Youthline is well positioned to support this process. 
 
Our experience has shown us that young people overwhelmingly prefer the anonymity, safety, and ease of using text-based communications especially if they are vulnerable to immediate harm. Text based contacts are nearly double those of phone calls to our Helpline (1800 text-based conversations vs 907 phone calls over the last 2 months) and demand for webchat is increasing all the time (640 contacts over the same period despite being available for only 12 hours a day). These considerations are critical as our Helpline is often the first service where young people disclose extremely challenging life events - including when they are experiencing abuse, and/or feeling suicidal.
 
To support the increased need in the overnight service, and responsive to youth feedback, Youthline’s has scaled up to also offer webchat, Instagram, and WhatsApp Helpline channels.  By continuing to innovate through adopting new technologies that drive productivity, utilising new digital channels and by staying informed of youth needs by youth, we can continue to evolve our service to provide flexible and responsive mental health support options for young people where, when and how they want them.
 
Engagement with Youthline is providing young people with a life changing opportunity to access support services to help them cope with life’s stresses and connect in a healthy way with peers, friends and family. In supporting these young people Youthline is very much committed to promoting healthy, safe, sustainable and active lifestyles.

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

With our Māori Development Strategy Te Ara Hou as a guide, we purposely prioritise Māori with our design, promotion and services delivery. Social media campaigns that prioritise the voices of rangatahi Māori and Pasifika young people are key to demonstrating to these communities that the Helpline service is relevant, culturally responsive and a fit for their needs. Māori models of health such as Te Whare Tapa Wha inform our work with targets groups of rangatahi Māori. Youthline has a Māori working group (Nga Whetu Poutama) to guide Youthline and inform our mahi. All staff and volunteers receive training in Te Tiriti O Waitangi. Staff are currently undertaking compulsory cultural competency training which will continue throughout 2026.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - All our services and facilities are accessible to people with disabilities. Our Helpline service can be accessed via free text, phone, webchat & email) making it highly accessible to those users with disabilities. Our new contact centre system is showing us how rangatahi are engaging and the use of webchat is gaining in popularity. Having a variety of channels available for rangatahi to make contact caters for those with hearing, speech and vision impairments and the neurodiverse, allowing us to provide a service to all those seeking support.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages

Youthline Auckland supports the Auckland Council’s Smokefree Policy and its commitment to working proactively with others towards making Auckland smokefree by 2025. We have a smoke free policy in place. We also ensure that the young people we work with are aware of our support for making Auckland smokefree and how we can help them if necessary. In our State of the Generation Report 2023, Vaping was a key issue for rangatahi. and we can offer support, advice and referrals to young people who wish to give up smoking.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

As a “with youth, for youth, by youth” organisation Youthline is committed to supporting all rangatahi with a focus on ages 12-24 years. 
 Our Strategic Priority #3: Holding an equity focus on Pasifika, Rainbow, Asian, Migrant, Refugee, and Disabled young people and those who are Neurodivergent. The purpose of this strategic priority is to create an environment where Pasifika, Rainbow, Asian, Migrant, Refugee, and Disabled clients and those who are Neurodivergent receive equitable and effective services. 
 
Ensuring equity in access and outcomes in our approach looks like inclusive leadership, consultation and design with diverse voices, redesign of service, changes to structures and settings, removal of barriers to equity, using cultural models and ensuring accessibility.
 
Equitable approaches acknowledge that people have varying levels of advantage and need tailored methods and resources to achieve fair outcomes. 
 
Prior to COVID-19 NZ had one of the highest youth suicide rates in the developed world. Māori continue to have the highest suicide rate. 
 
Māori and Pasifika rangatahi disproportionately experience mental health issues and are less likely to seek professional help (Youth19) and Māori are significantly more likely to die by suicide than non-Māori (Māori 15.9% per 100,000 people – followed by European 10.1%, Pasifika 9.9%) – Coroners report 2022.
 
With a lens on equity, barriers to access are a significant issue for young people but particularly so for young. Research undertaken by Mauri Ora Associates in 2008 titled ‘Best health outcomes for Māori: Practice implications’ described the barriers as:
 
•           costs of care – for example ability to, and cost of, travel
•           communication – overly technical
•           structural – for example, distance to travel, waiting time, time restricted appointments
•           cultural issues – different kaupapa, stereotypes and assumptions, lack of respect and understanding of Māori values, discourage whānau support in consultation.
 
In addition, Youthline has created a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Framework and has engaged an external provider to facilitate this project. The DEI Framework will be a cornerstone of our efforts to foster an inclusive and supportive environment for all our clients and staff.  We are now in the process of implementing the DEI Framework.
 
Recognising and addressing inequities and upholding safety is very important to us. Youthline is proactive in breaking down barriers to accessing our support via the development of a volunteer workforce that is culturally and clinically competent and safe.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

While Youthline has a robust and active fundraising plan to raise the funds needed to operate the Helpline which includes applying to local (Councils, mainly Auckland) and central (e.g. Lottery Board) government funding agencies and community, gaming and philanthropic trusts across New Zealand we are experiencing a significant reduction in funding from all sources due to the cost-of-living crisis and tightened economic conditions. 
 
Our Helpline is funded primarily by fundraising via grants, fundraising campaigns and donations with the support of a Te Whatu Ora contract for Clinical Staff only and overnight support from ASB. 
 
Youthline Auckland, like many other charitable organisations is experiencing the impact of our traditional funders having a reduced capacity to provide funding at previous levels and/or at a higher level. In the highly contestable sector of grant funding, we appreciate requests far outweigh the funding available for distribution. 
 
Sadly, we have recently been advised that Youthline has not escaped the impact of central government’s funding cuts to service providers supporting vulnerable children, youth and families. Due to notification of non-renewal of some contracts and other sector funding reductions we are now needing to consider making significant changes to how the Helpline is run. Securing funding for the Helpline operating costs such as Volunteer Counsellor Training and Telecommunications Channels will be fundamental to the sustainability of the Helpline. In addition, any inability to fund the Helpline will most likely result in the scaling back of the whole Helpline operation to skeleton staffing, the turning off of some communication channels together with the loss of the entire Helpline volunteer workforce across Aotearoa.
 
The Helpline service has never been fully funded by any government entity or organisation. Instead, it relies on a variety of funding sources, including government contracts, corporate sponsorships and grants or donations, to continue operating.  In the past year we have seen a 45% reduction in funding for the Helpline from our usual funders, particularly gaming trusts and grants and donations who we are reliant on to fund primary functions of the Helpline service. We continue to experience similar reductions this year and have been advised to expect the same for the coming year. Early this year, all government ministries were required to cut their budgets by 7.5% on top of the previous requirement to cut budgets by 2%. Youthline Auckland services are amongst those being impacted by the loss of some of these government funding streams.  In the past 7 months alone we have seen a loss of around $262,000 from corporate, community and government funding sources for FY25.
 
As the Helpline relies solely on contracts, grants and donations, the funding environment we are in is proving to be challenging and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. 
 
At a time when young people need our Helpline service more than ever, securing funding from grants is vital for us to keep the Helpline fully operational at its current delivery level rather than reducing our Helpline service. 
 
We wish to acknowledge your previous support and commitment to the local young people and their families, who we are able to provide timely support to with your help. We would greatly appreciate further support towards the continuation of our Helpline service to support young people and their whānau.
 
Our request is for a small contribution towards the annual Helpline cost that relates to supporting youth in the Papakura area. Every bit of funding we can secure is critical to support of our Helpline volunteer counsellors and staff ensures youth are able to reach Youthline for support using the communication mode that they can easily access and are most comfortable with.

Additional information to support the application:

The continuation of our Helpline service is critical and we know the community supports the delivery of this Youthline service because young people self-refer, and whanau, teachers, schools and community organisations refer their young people and whanau to us for support. 
 
Securing funding from grants is critical so Youthline can ensure that the Helpline remains fully operational and delivered by volunteer counsellors who have received comprehensive training and support.
 
We have attached additional supporting information containing Clinical Supervision and Telecommunications; and FY and Helpline & Engagement Statistics. We have also attached our State of the Generation 2023 Report.

South Auckland Choral Society Incorporated

 

 

Legal status:

Registered Charity

Activity focus:

Arts and culture

Project: South Auckland Choral concert - 2025 Term 2

Location:

Crossroads Church, 25 Broadway, Papakura, Auckland 2110

Summary:

On 17 August 2025, the South Auckland Choral will perform the second concert of its Jubilee year. After 11 weeks of focused training, our choir will combine with one or two local soloists to perform a 2-hour concert including a diversity of works, from classical to contemporary, for our local audience. The concert will be performed in Papakura., with over 50% of our membership and audience being local to the Papakura area. As always, we aim to keep the ticket price for this concert affordable so everyone can enjoy it.

Expertise:

We have a very experienced executive committee with many years of choir management between them.
We employ a part-time professional musical director who selects music, trains singers and conducts concerts.
Similarly, we employ an experienced piano accompanist.
Ultimately, without wishing to sound complacent, we are confident that our track record over the last 50 years speaks for itself.

Dates:

01/06/2025 - 31/08/2025

Promotion:

We will advertise the concert in local newspapers and magazines, as well as Eventfinda, our own website and Facebook. The Papakura Local Board logo will appear on all of our advertising material, programmes and public thanks for the support will be made by the President in his introductory welcome to the concert.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

- Personal mental health of our singers: Singing in a choir is a joyful, thrilling and fun-filled experience using the most basic instrument, which we all possess - the human voice - to create harmony, togetherness and a sense of contributing to a whole greater than the self.
Many scientific articles cite the diverse health benefits of choral singing.
 
- Social cohesion: South Auckland Choral has demonstrated over the years its ability to not only train and encourage harmonious singing but also to serve as a catalyst towards cohesion in an ethnically diverse community. Our choir also mixes people of very different ages (20 to 80 years old) and physical abilities (blind, mobility impaired), all training and performing together.
 
- Audience enjoyment and participation: Feedback from packed audiences repeatedly tells us that the Papakura public loves the variety of what we do and appreciates the opportunity of good quality entertainment at an affordable price and without the need to run the
gauntlet of SH1 traffic to get to the CBD. Long may it continue!

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      Regular local cultural and arts experiences in Papakura

Our choir is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Since then it has performed well over 100 local concerts, with a current rate of 3 concerts per year, bringing an astonishing breadth of choral music to great critical acclaim within the Papakura community. Over that period, many hundreds of singers have passed through our ranks, with a few original members still contributing. Our current singing membership of 30 brings together 10 different ethnicities and an age range of almost 60 years. We have taken advantage of this unique blend to broaden the musical genre that we perform and appeal to wider audiences. From time to time, we have been able to offer financial scholarships to young singers, some of whom have gained professional qualifications and are now successfully teaching and directing other choirs. We have always sought opportunities to add our vocal strengths to local events such as Anzac services, special celebrations, and street and park festivals, thereby adding colour and new cultural experiences to the people of Papakura.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

Our choir actively encourages the involvement and participation of Māori within its singing membership. Currently, around 10% are Māori. We frequently include Māori songs in Te Reo within our programmes and a few years ago sang a specially commissioned Māori work as part of a combined choir at the opening of the now-renamed Manukau Due Drop Events Centre.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - The public performing venues that we use always provide access and space for all people with any sort of disability. In addition, our choir welcomes active participants with disabilities. It is not unusual for elderly and infirm singers to remain seated for our performances. Our focus is on a love for singing. In recent years, we have established a close relationship with BLENNZ at Homai and have successfully welcomed a number of blind singers into our ranks.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

- Smoke-free - all rehearsals and performances are in established smoke-free venues.
- Waste minimisation - musical scores are hired and returned after the event by preference.If purchased they go into our library where they become available for other choirs to hire from us.
- Healthy food and drink - food for post-concert refreshments is home-produced by our members, and always healthy. Water is a necessity for our singers and is always available alongside juice and tea for the audience. - Active lifestyles - each rehearsal begins with 15 minutes of warm-up exercises and a breathing drill - very necessary for good singing.
- Reduction of carbon emissions - the local concert availability reduces the need to travel further afield to either sing or listen. Our members practice local car sharing for rehearsal attendance.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Our focus is on singing. We support any gender, age or ethnicity without discrimination. Most of our choir members and our audience tend to be females over the age of 55 but we are also actively seeking more males and younger people as members and audience.

Financial information

Amount requested:

$3000.00

Requesting grant for:

A 40% share of our concert costs (a proportion lower than the proportion of our members and audience coming from the Papakura area), which include:
- Concert marketing including website, programme and ticket production costs
- Venue costs
- Music costs
- Soloists and concert accompanists
- Other concert costs
- Part-time salaries for our music director and rehearsal accompanist
We are hopeful that the rest of our costs will be covered by ticket sales, membership fees and other grants.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We are committed to offering the Papakura area a beautiful concert in our jubilee year, to celebrate an important part of their history. We don't have a Plan B. This means that any funding shortfall would need a further draw on our reserves. The choir has been running at a loss since 2016. Last year, we finally made a turn, and we expect to go back to a small surplus in 2025. This was made possible by actively pursuing additional sources of funding, as we promised.

Cost of participation:

Annual membership for singers currently at $162 (may increase), concert tickets $25 / adult (may increase) and $10 / child (5-18 year old).

Project: Make Moments Art Workshops for Isolated Older People

Location:

Crossroads Methodist Church, 25 Broadway, Papakura

Summary:

We are seeking funds to support access to arts for older people and people living with dementia and disability in the Papakura area. We would like to facilitate 20 high-quality art workshops for seniors in Papakura to support creative ageing and inclusion.

Expertise:

Make Moments has been facilitated across Auckland for over 10 years, reaching an average of 3000 per year. We continue to offer Outreach to groups to ensure every older person has access to the arts for improved wellbeing and intellectual stimulation. We are experienced in working with people living with dementia and encourage mental and social connectivity through dignified and meaningful activity in community spaces, we are uniquely placed to help combat the major challenges facing older people. 
 
In 2019, Andrea Gaskin (Director of Connect the Dots) received a fellowship to explore developments in arts access for people living with dementia through research in the UK to enhance the impact of Make Moments in Aotearoa (findings here: https://www.communitymatters.govt.nz/assets/2020-Winston-Churchill-Memorial-Trust-Fellowship-report/Andrea-Gaskin-Fellowship-Report.pdf.)

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Our participants often experience barriers to participation due to physical disabilities, neurological conditions, age-related vulnerabilities, and social isolation. This is significant, because while service delivery / support agencies in the age-care and disabilities sector provides outstanding services to our target audience, the primary mandate is to provide wellbeing outcomes through clinical or “health-oriented” interventions. 
Through research, observation, and anecdotal evidence, being mentally engaged is critical to mitigating early symptoms of dementia. Creativity is also an effective tool in maintaining mental clarity and agility in older adults. 
Our project provides:
• Improved mental health • Manaakitanga – access to the essentials of a good life, with the ability to fulfil their
potential, in a space that focuses on strengths and opportunity
• Kotahitanga - Increased feeling of social connectedness and reduced feelings of
loneliness
• Improved interests in the arts
• Whanaungatanga - connectedness to other people and a feeling of belonging
particularly in the local arts and cultural spaces we run our programmes in
• Improvement in self-perception and confidence (specifically around creativity)
• Improved wellbeing, both mental, emotional and physical Improved sense of
belonging

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To enhance community wellbeing

Our older population is growing disproportionately to other ages in Auckland, and is as diverse and multicultural as any group. Art is natural leveller and our workshops always focus on the many perspectives of different people and cultures towards the same subject matter. We bring people together around a shared purpose and activity, encouraging of experimentation and joy, rather that art instruction. We have been invited to support the arts access and wellbeing needs of the Papakura seniors and would love the opportunity to continue to bring Make Moments to the community to improve wellbeing.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori involvement in the design/concept, Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language), Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

Our Māori, Pasefika and Cantonese-speaking Artist Educators reviewed our arts programme content and delivery to ensure it is inclusive and reflective of our diverse communities. Our educators and community also translated our online and printed art packs in Samoan, Tongan, Mandarin and Cantonese and these were well received by our participants during lock down. Our content and examples and arts processes always include works by our Māori, Pasefika artists as examples for our themes (home, family etc) to ensure that all participants feel included and valued. Our programmes always include food and refreshments (Manaakitanga is expressing kindness and respect for others, emphasising responsibility and reciprocity). 40% of the attendees for this group identify as Māori.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - As outlined in our mission, and our vision, Connect the Dots strives to engage, through creativity, those who experience physical or intellectual disabilities. Our project is accessible in terms of the physical space we use, we make it appropriate for those with physical or accessibility needs.
 
Our educators are experienced in working with people with intellectual disabilities, and our art workshops are process based, meaning no previous art making skills are required, therefore we adapt wherever we need to for participants physical / intellectual needs to be met.

Healthy environment approach:

Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

We encourage healthy food options and encourage our participants to move about in the workshops, gathering their materials and being active with some of the more physical processes like printmaking. We also demonstrate careful use of art materials encouraging zero waste of supplies and by reusing yoghurt containers for water containers etc and not washing anything into the waterways. We travel to workshops with an Electric Vehicle or E Bike to ensure our regional programme is not harming the environment.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

We specifically support those over 65 years of age, but do not specifically target gender or ethnicity groups, but of course all genders and ethnicities are welcome and encouraged to participate in our workshops.

Each workshop costs $324.50 to run and we offer this service free to community groups to empower them with the capacity, skills and knowledge that will enable them to deliver services that promote inclusivity and are Headway- endorsed so that they can provide activities that support people living with brain injury with the aim to create thriving, connected communities for all.

Expertise:

Headway Brain Injury Auckland has been operating support groups and community education programmes in Auckland for over 40 years. We have a team of Community Navigators who are trained in brain Injury support and facilitation skills to deliver the workshops and all our services. We work alongside the researchers, the rehab providers and specialists to ensure we are keeping ahead of the latest research and skills required to deliver effective support and services.

·      To enhance community wellbeing

The Headway team deliver capacity building workshops and sessions to community organisations to ensure that they are Headway endorsed.
In order for people with brain injuries to engage in their community, community groups must be equipped with the capacity, skills, and knowledge to welcome and support them. Our workshops foster understanding, reduce stigma and provide practical strategies to enable meaningful participation. 
We know that a healthy, connected community is one where everyone, regardless of age, ability or disability, is empowered to participate in their community and share their skills, time and knowledge. 
We offer this training opportunity free to community groups to empower them with the capacity, skills and knowledge that will enable them to deliver services that promote inclusivity, diversity and resilience. They will become Headway- endorsed so that they can provide activities that support people living with brain injury with the aim to create inclusive, thriving, connected communities for all.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We will provide as many Community Capacity building workshops as we can. If partially funded, then we will provide fewer workshops or find a way to incorporate combined workshops to more than one organisation or community group in a session. This is not ideal, as we will not be able to customise the needs as easily.

 Papakura

·      To enhance community wellbeing

We believe that our project enhances community wellbeing By:
 
Promoting Inclusivity: Involving disabled youth in community activities breaks down barriers, highlighting the importance of equal opportunities for all individuals. It promotes an environment where everyone feels valued and included, regardless of ability. This encourages a diverse, accepting community.
 
Empathy and Awareness: Engaging with disabled youth helps individuals become more aware of the challenges faced by those with disabilities. This can foster greater empathy within the community, leading to more supportive relationships and actions. When communities understand each other's struggles, they are more likely to work together to address them.
 
Skills Development: Both disabled youth and their peers can benefit from learning new skills through collaboration and shared experiences. Youth with disabilities may gain increased confidence and independence, while others develop leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. These skills can enhance the overall capacity of the community to handle a variety of challenges.
 
Social Integration: When disabled youth are included in social activities, it helps to diminish social isolation, which is a common issue voiced frequently for those with disabilities. Their involvement provides opportunities for them to develop social skills and build meaningful relationships. These connections improve mental health and overall quality of life for both disabled youth and their peers.
 
 
Resilience and Role Models: Disabled youth can serve as powerful role models. Their resilience and determination can inspire others within the community to overcome obstacles, persevere through difficulties, and embrace differences. This contributes to a collective sense of empowerment and support.
 
Building Stronger Connections: Engaging with disabled youth fosters connections among community members from different walks of life. It encourages cooperation, dialogue, and shared experiences, which strengthens the bonds between people and creates a more cohesive and assesible community.

Project: Purchasing essential linens for use in the InPatient unit

Location:

Totara Hub, 140 Charles Prevost Drive. Manurewa

Summary:

We are seeking funding to replace aged or worn linens, supporting our vision of honouring living and dignifying dying. Comfortable, clean, and high-quality linens are essential for providing dignified care. Our patients rely on the comfort of fresh bedding during their most vulnerable moments, whether they are in our Inpatient Unit or being supported in their own homes. Additionally, many families we serve lack adequate linens at home and take linens with them upon discharge, which further increases our need for a reliable supply.

Expertise:

Te Kahu Pairuri o Tōtara Hospice has extensive experience in delivering high-quality, dignified care to patients in need of specialist palliative support. As a well-established provider of holistic, multi-disciplinary hospice services, we understand the essential role that comfortable, clean linens play in patient care. Our team regularly manages the provision of fresh bedding both within our Inpatient Unit. Additionally, we have a proven track record of ensuring a reliable supply of linens, even as demand increases due to patients and families taking linens home upon discharge.

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

Our project aligns with Māori outcomes by supporting a collective approach to care, ensuring whānau can be actively involved in providing spiritual and emotional support for their loved ones. By enabling care to take place at home or in our InPatient Unit, we uphold the values of manaakitanga and whanaungatanga, allowing patients to receive dignified and culturally appropriate care. Ensuring access to the best quality linen enhances patient wellbeing by promoting comfort and dignity, while also reducing stress for whānau as they support their loved ones. This approach ensures that both living and dying are honoured in a way that reflects Te Ao Māori, fostering a space where tikanga and kaupapa Māori practices are respected and upheld.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our project is inclusive and supports all people including those with physical disabilities, ensuring that every patient receives dignified care.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

Te Kahu Pairuri o Totara is dedicated to increasing our sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. We have a dedicated people & Planet working group that have implemented initiative such as appropriate waste management inckuding four types of bins for waste: Landfill, Recycle, Food Waste and Soft Plastics. All rubbish bins have been removed from office work areas and print reduction initiatives are also in place. One third of the Totara Hospice car fleet is now EV, with plans to expand this over the coming year. The Totara Hub is a vape & smoke free environment. We actively promote this through signage. Additionally we offer patients weekly access to our gym and Zommba classes encouraging fitness and connection.

Project: Campaign to reduce population of non desexed cats in community

Location:

Papakura

Summary:

Our project aims to improve the lives and humanely reduce populations of unowned cats in
Auckland.
This involves humanely trap stray/abandoned cats. Kittens and tame adults are
medically assessed and fostered, adopted to good homes once desexed, vaccinated and
microchipped.
Untame strays are medically assessed. If well, they are desexed and returned to where they
are being fed. Unwell cats are treated before return however some cats need euthanasia
due to welfare concerns.
Populations of stray cats in Auckland have exploded due to desex not being an essential
service during Covid-19 lockdowns, abandoned pets following 2023 floods and global
warming extending breeding seasons. Our project aims to mitigate the impact these events
are having on welfare of cats in Auckland

Expertise:

We are a team of experienced and dedicated animal rescuers, foster carers and volunteers
who have worked for many years rescuing stray and abandoned animals in the Auckland
area. The founder has vast experience in critical care management for the very sick cats
and kittens we have saved over the past few years. We have 42 volunteers: 14 volunteers
for the cattery, 1 grants assistant, and 27 foster volunteers (of which 4 are team leaders)

Environmental benefits:  Our project benefits the environment and community members who are feeding stray cats at their property, nearby business/industrial areas or at established cat colonies at industrial or rural areas. Issues related to uncontrolled cat breeding -- fighting, spraying, yowling, killing of local wild birdlife -- are minimised. Cats returned to their cat colony are then fed by volunteers helping protect bird wildlife as the cats are not hungry to kill. Minimising the cat population, but retaining healthy cats through vaccinating is vital -- if the cat population was eradicated, the ecosystem would be overrun with rodent population.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

We help to reduce the stray/unwanted cat population: Kittens and tame cats are brought off the street. Cats who are not re-homed are returned to be fed the community where they were trapped – these cats will reduce in number due to natural attrition over the next few years.
This helps to protect the ecosystem of wildlife in urban areas with the reduction of cats free to roam.
On the other hand, if too many stray cats are culled, there would be an explosion and rats and rodents in the community, so it is vital that cats are humanely trapped and desexed and that stray cats be returned to their colonies as they play an important role in keeping rat and rodent numbers at bay.
Cats/kittens that are re-homed to responsible owners limit the numbers who find their way to abandoned properties or industrial sites and increases protection against the rapid spread of diseases in the cat community and the unnecessary loss of lives.
A further community benefit of our project is the increased mental well-being of owners of the cats who are rehomed and reducing the stress of those concerned for needy cats in the community they come across.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - We work with rescuing and rehoming cats within the whole community, but especially those in low income areas who are on a Work and Income benefit or have a disability and need assistance.

Healthy environment approach:

Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages

We strive to always bear environmental factors in mind when we work: when we have trapped cats or fed a colony, we make sure to leave the site clean and tidy. Trapping and
caring for cats also entails an active lifestyle for the volunteers as the traps themselves are
heavy, but there is also a lot of active movement involved in the day-to-day caring for cats
and kittens

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Our project supports the regeneration of the whenua by reducing stray cat populations in a way that is sensitive to the connection people have with cats. For Maori and others who hold mana in high regard, we operate in a way that respects the mana of a much loved animal
while supporting the environment for Maori and others.

Project: Boxes for Papakura Babies

Location:

Papakura-wide - predominantly distributed from 70 Wood Street, Papakura

Summary:

This application seeks funding to provide ten infant and maternal care packages to high needs whānau in Papakura during the next year.  We expect the majority of boxes to be distributed in Papakura to be given away by Whānau Āwhina Plunket thanks to a long-established relationship.

Expertise:

In the 2019 and 2020 financial years BabyStart delivered a one-off project to Whānau Āwhina Plunket of 1088 baby boxes in addition to our normal activities. This is considerably more than our current output of approximately 300-400 boxes yearly, demonstrating that this project is well within the capacity of our volunteer base. We have delivered close to 3,000 boxes throughout New Zealand to date, with more than 100 of those to Papakura.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The programme focuses on providing high quality baby items to disadvantaged whānau who may also not feel connected to their communities and associated services.
While there are clear benefits to whānau from the items they receive, the equally important purpose of the programme is to give maternity carers a tool that will enable them to connect better with their clients.
All boxes are sent to distributors and presented to whānau personally. Distributors spend time with with each whānau, explaining the contents of the box and asking and answering questions.
Feedback from distributors suggests that these conversations often lead to opportunities to aid engagement with other necessary services and the wider community.
We believe in a collaborative approach in which we fundraise, produce boxes and collate survey data while our community distribution partners identify recipients and use the tool we provide to provide support whānau and aid their mahi.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To enhance community wellbeing

We work directly with locally based agencies and support groups to provide a tool to assist in delivering their programmes and services. In addition to providing high quality infant care items, distributors find that the process of personally gifting the boxes leads to additional conversations and opportunities to connect with other support services. In Papakura, the majority of our referrals are from Whānau Āwhina Plunket. We provide baby boxes to their nurses which allows them to provide high quality, necessary items to whānau in their care while also building stronger relationships.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

Since our inception in 2016, Māori have comprised our largest group of recipients in Papakura at 78.72%.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - The project is not specifically targeted at those with disabilities but the process of distributors gifting the box to families allows any recipients with disabilities to be delivered baby care items without the need to leave home.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages

1) The box contains a phone number list which includes the Quitline freephone number.
2) A number of distributors to date have used the gifting process to help encourage parents to engage with smoking cessation programmes.
3) Recipients are given information on organisations to which they can donate baby items which are no longer used.
4) Information is also provided on how to repurpose some contents e.g. using the box as under bed storage.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

The project does not target any specific gender or ethnicity.
Through feedback from our distributors, the majority of recipients they deal with face to face are female.
Since inception, the ethnicities reached in Papakura have been:
Maori - 78.72%
Pasifika - 21.28%

Requesting grant for:

Funding is requested for 10 baby boxes to be distributed the Papakura Local Board area. BabyStart's current goal is to reach 30 babies in Papakura in 2025. 75% of funds granted will go towards the purchase of infant and maternal care items and logistics costs. 25% of funds granted will be directed towards project administration costs.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

The project is fully scalable. Once all funding sources are confirmed, items are ordered accordingly. Additionally, all costs relating to premises are variable and connected to the number of boxes distributed.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

• Increased opportunities for South Aucklanders to experience and participate in arts and
culture
• Provide more opportunities for young people to participate in arts and culture activities
and facilities.
• Remove barriers to access and participation
• Provide free and low cost community events
• Create opportunities for intergenerational cultural exchange
• Support the provision of cultural activities in the Southern Initiative area.
• Build the capability of artists and arts organisations to attract and grow diverse revenue
streams.
We strive to:
1. Enhanced Creative Expression and Artistic Exploration: Regardless of prior artistic
experience, individuals will discover and nurture their creative side. The art classes offer
a supportive environment for participants to experiment with textile techniques, fostering
a sense of artistic exploration and self-expression as well as building confidence in one's
creative ability.
2. Stress Reduction and Emotional Well-being: Engaging in the creative sewing art process
can help reduce stress, and promote emotional well-being.
3. Community Connection and Support: The inclusive and non-judgmental atmosphere of
the classes encourages participants to connect with others through the creative process.
Through collaborative and supportive interactions, participants will not only develop their
sewing skills but also experience a sense of community and connection.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      Building social cohesion and connection in a culturally diverse community

Now more than ever… we need to support individuals in varies ways and creativity helps individuals feel calmer and have more confidence in themselves and their abilities. This ART Collective Project is for people ages 13+ which our artists assist them to embrace their artistic talents within a community that collectively come together to have fun, laugh and play through art and to give youth, adults and elderly a space where they feel a sense of belonging while building social cohesion and connection in a culturally diverse community.
 
Many Aucklanders are wanting and needing support with their mental & emotional health, with issues such as isolation being young, elderly or with disabilities, suicide thoughts, and just wanting to be seen, heard and witnessed and we have the creative stewards’ who can and want to offer support through the ART Collective Project since established in 2020. 
 
We want to continue to inspire, uplift and nurture an ethnically diverse community bringing vibrancy and cultural learning opportunities in South Auckland region through ART. We have developed our vibrant art scene where creativity as well as emotional and mental well-being is supported. As an additional way to support our communities, we will offer 4 free palette knife monthly art scholarships classes (one scholarship per month) for people with financial difficulties. 
 
We provide career pathways and professional development for local creative artists/practitioners by offering them the opportunity to facilitate art classes which allows them to provide an income for themselves and their families. There is great pride in doing what you love and being economically rewarded for it. Many artists struggle to work their passion and by inspiring them to believe in themselves they are stepping out of their comfort zone to make a living with their creative gifts and talents.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Our aim is to introduce the larger community to the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, as well as demonstrate the beauty and skill in painting, calligraphy, and traditional music performances. Taichi is an art that requires mental concentration as well as gently exercising your body. It is a lifestyle discipline that has proven health benefits. many of our members are well past retirement age and still have excellent body co-ordination, they attribute this good health to the adoption of Taichi in their daily routine. We want to share this with the community at large. Calligraphy and ink painting requires skill and concentration and as they say, "a healthy mind is a healthy body". 
Our sewing classes teach people to repair damage to clothes to extend their life, saving them money, and giving satisfaction. Our sewing instructor has on many occassions done repairs for members of the community without charge for his time.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      Celebrate Papakura’s diverse community identity and culture

Papakura Ward has quite a large Chinese Community. Our Association provides a venue where this community can join in traditional cultural activities and share the activities with the entire Papakura community. Membership is free and open to people of all ages and all cultures. We meet at venues that are open to all. In using the stage at Papakura Central Park, and Takanini Library we put ourselves out to the public and demonstrate the benefits of Tai Chi, the skill in Chinese ink painting and Chinese Calligraphy.

join. they can sit, learn some interesting Chinese art skill with brush. These art sessions are
good practice enable them to calm down, enjoy the moment and promote well-being.
Taichi also is a gentle but stimulating art that can be beneficial to people with intellectual disabilities, or limited motor skills. There is no such thing as a bad Taichi move in Taichi. It is all about what stimulates you, and what satisfies you.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

Smoking has no place in a Taichi practitioners lifestyle and is actively discouraged. None of our Taichi troupe smoke as the essence of Taichi is balance, control, breathing, and concentration.
we advocate our members only drink water during the Taichi workout.
our continuing Taichi practice at the park encourage more locals to join our fitness program
and lead an active lifestyle.

Project: Papakura Cricket Club - Junior Club Shirt Replacement

Location:

Bruce Pulman Park, 90 Walters Road, Takanini

Summary:

Funding to help provide new playing shirts for our Junior club, replacing their old and very tired existing shirts. We have a new supplier agreement with Code Sportswear (NZUniforms) to provide our playing kit, backing a New Zealand supplier.

Expertise:

We often have to replace the junior shirts every 3 to 4 seasons, which they are currently well overdue for. Usually this is staggered, however with the new apparel supplier agreement, we are needing to update our entire club. Our senior club was already replaced at the start of the 2024/2025 season.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Providing suitable and adequate playing shirts for our junior club players, helping maintain an inclusive environment and promoting a strong club identity.
Local grant funding will help minimise the cost of these new shirts, which in turn will allow us to further expand the number of junior teams we are able to accommodate.
Papakura Cricket Club provides the playing shirts for all our junior teams - a cost which is not passed on to the parents through fees. We receive those shirts back at the end of the season, ready for the next season. This means we can get multiple seasons out of those shirts without the parents needing to purchase new shirts as their child grows.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      Building social cohesion and connection in a culturally diverse community

Ensuring that Papakura Cricket Club maintains their identity and ability to provide a nurturing and inclusive sporting environment for our regions young cricketers and future cricketers.

Project: Replacement of speakers

Location:

Off Broadway Theatre, 41 Elliot Street, Papakura

Summary:

Replacing the sound equipment has been a project of PTC's for the past twelve months but we had difficulty finding a second quote as it is quite specialised.  We have already replaced our old sound board and now wish to upgrade the rest of our sound equipment as per the quotes attached. The current speakers are quite old and out of date so currently we hire the speakers and equipment when doing a musical production or a concert.  We wish to replace our current speakers with modern sound equipment using modern technology to give our audiences the best sound possible. Purchasing our own equipment will set PTC up for the future and save on hire and installation each time.

Expertise:

70 years of ongoing experience in theatre from a hard-working team of volunteers. Award-winning directors, musical directors, choreographers, set designers, costume designers, lighting and sound designers, props designers, hair and make-up designers - all are part of our team at PTC. But our team also includes an experienced team working front of house and on the administration of our society.

Conflicts of interest: Please note that Papakura Board Member Kelvin Hieatt is my son. However I have been applying for grants to the Board on behalf of Papakura Theatre Company for much longer than he has been a Board member.

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Improved sound resulting in a more satisfactory and balanced sound experience for our audiences.
 
PTC also hires out our theatre at reduced rates to groups like Glass Ceiling Initiative, who are an all inclusive theatre group for children and young people - again sound is important when they present their shows.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      Regular local cultural and arts experiences in Papakura

New speakers will enhance the sound received by our audiences.  Our theatre generally produces three shows each year, sometimes more, plus occasional concerts. We also hire out Off Broadway Theatre to children's theatre groups such as Majors 'n' Minors, Glass Ceiling Collective and Stage Antics, all of whom produce musicals.
Each production requires sound, whether a play or a musical or a concert. Quality of sound in a theatre is important and if it is not up to standard, it can spoil a person's enjoyment of a show.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Not this particular project but our theatre is very accessible for people with disabilities as it is all on street level, has a drop-off area at the front door, a disability car park beside the front door, seating space for two wheelchairs and companions, a disability toilet. Our front of house staff are trained in helping people with disabilities to access their seats. We also hire our venue out to the Glass Ceiling Arts Collective, a group supporting young people with disabilities, who hold an annual disco and also produce a show at Off Broadway.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

We are a theatre - a totally smoke-free environment. We recycle as much as possible, including reusing pieces of scenery etc.  Singing is healthy, dance is healthy, interacting with others is healthy and theatre is confidence building. Water is always available. Generally people bring their own food to rehearsals if it is going to be a full day.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Project: The Y Intermediate sports Camps - Papakura schools

Location:

the Y Camp Adair, 2487 Hunua Road, Hunua, Auckland

Summary:

To deliver 4x South Auckland intermediate Sports Camps at YMCA Camp Adair for high equity index schools. Providing year 7 & 8 students the opportunity to participate in a range of fun sports and attend a camp. 320 students from 8 intermediate schools compete in 18 fun team and individual sports at each of the week-long sports camps. The underlying aims are to provide Intermediate and full primary schools the opportunity to experience a competitive sports camp, get more tamariki active, and to build community connections. For many schools, events such as AIMS Games are out of reach due to cost and distance, this project provides a viable alternative, a subsidised sports camp in South Auckland for South Auckland.

Expertise:

YMCA Camp Adair is NZ’s oldest residential camp, established in 1913, Camp Adair has provided thousands of Kiwis the opportunity to develop in the great outdoors. Camp Adair Is Audited & Accredited by Skills Active's OutdoorsMark. YMCA is a leading provider of sports and recreation – we are regularly recognised with industry awards such as NZ Recreation Association Awards. As NZ’s first Australian Childhood Foundation Accredited organisation we take the rights and safety of young people seriously. We have delivered successful intermediate Sports Camps in 2022, 2023, and 2024 reaching 3,500+ year 7 & 8 students.  Response from schools and participants has been overwhelmingly positive and we look forward to delivering more positive outcomes for our community through sports camps.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

•Improved community health and wellbeing. Participation supports mental and physical wellbeing, encourages love for sport, and gets our community leading active healthy lifestyles. Students experience new sports in a fun environment and are encouraged to continue participation and make healthy choices, 90% of participants are more active more often after camp.
•Grow awareness of sport and recreation opportunities in local community –Ki-o-rahi, Pickle ball– many sports are new to young people, sports organisations build relationships with schools and students, continued participation and lifelong love for sports are encouraged. 90 % of tamariki continued to be more active after sports camps. 
•Rangatahi/tamariki experience positive development. Camps develop confidence, leadership and other skills through participation in sports, a fun environment encourages everyone to give things a go, and gain confidence, 71% of tamariki report sports camps improved their confidence. Playing team-sports also helps tamariki to connect, learn teamwork, collaboration, and communication skills. Skills developed through sports are transferrable and help young people to succeed in other pursuits. 
•Connected community- young people from across South Auckland connect and bond over healthy recreation and sporting activities. Feedback from previous camps tells us young people developed new friendships, and relationships between schools have improved.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      Building social cohesion and connection in a culturally diverse community

Sports camps support the local board priorities “Building social cohesion and connection in a culturally diverse community” and “To enhance community wellbeing” through bringing school communities together to participate in Sports camps. In 2025, 240 young people from 6 schools in the Papakura Local Board will join others from across South Auckland at these camps, which emphasize friendly competition, fair play, and fun.
Sports camps help students build better connections within their schools and foster friendships across different schools, promoting community cohesion and wellbeing. Young people who have participated in sports camp have told us that they loved getting to know their classmates better and making new friends from different schools. In post camp surveys conducted in 2022, 2023, and 2024 schools have said that Sports Camps have contributed to improved relationships between schools, and in some cases have eased tensions and promoted cohesion between schools that have had long standing rivalries. Schools tell us that the relationships developed between schools have continued after camps, with schools continuing to work together and build on these relationships after sports camps are over. Year 8 students especially benefit from meeting peers from other schools, easing their transition to high school.
In previous years participants have shown care and respect for one another, cheering on competitors, and prioritising fair play. 76% of Schools report that this has continued into improved attitudes and behaviours in school post sport camp. 
At Sports camps young people can come together, enjoy sports together, and learn about each other. Schools also take part in cultural performances each night, giving them a chance to share their cultures and celebrate the diversity of the Papakura and other South Auckland communities.
As well as supporting community wellbeing through fostering connections and cohesion, Sports camps supports the physical and mental wellbeing of young participants as they reap the benefits of getting active and participating in sports. At sports camps we aim to reach tamariki at high equity index schools who often miss out on opportunities to participate in sports. . Sports Camps foster a love for sport and active lifestyles as they encourage young people to try out a range of different sports and have fun while doing so. Sports camps focus on providing a fun and supportive atmosphere where tamariki feel safe to try new sports. Developing an enjoyment of sports and recreation promotes ongoing participation in sports active lifestyles which will have ongoing benefits for the health and wellbeing of tamariki. In 2024, 90% reported that they were more active more often after sports camp and schools reported that their students were more active.

The Sports camps are for students from South Auckland Intermediate and Full Primary schools and we expect the participation to reflect the ethnicity of South Auckland schools, including high representation of Māori and Pasifika students. One of the sports played at the camps will be ki o rahi to encourage participation in the traditional Māori game. Camps will also include cultural performances by the schools in the evenings.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - YMCA Camp Adair is accessible to people with disabilities. We have wheelchair access to cabins, toilets and the dining hall in Graham Glaister Village in order to ensure that people of all mobilities have a fantastic camp experience and are able to learn in the outdoors. Staff are able to provide adapted activities to enable participation for students with disabilities if needed

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

YMCA Camp Adair is a smoke-free facility. Recycling bins are provided at YMCA Camp Adair. We encourage visitors to be mindful of
their waste, and to dispose of rubbish in correct bins in order to minimise waste going to landfill. Located in the Hunua ranges we aim to operate in an environmentally sustainable way in order to protect the beautiful natural environment we are surrounded by. Camps at YMCA Camp Adair are fully catered, our kitchen team provide healthy food and drink for visitors to Camp Adair. The aim of the Sports Camps is to encourage active and healthy lifestyles through connecting schools and students with new sports and encouraging a love for sports and fitness

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

The project is aimed specifically at Year 7 & 8 Students from South Auckland. Each school will bring a cohort of 40 students, 20 boys and 20 girls. For some of the smaller rural schools, 2 schools will combine to make up a team of 40 students. Although the project is open to all students, the schools we work with have high Māori and Pasifika student populations and this is reflected in camp attendance.

Requesting grant for:

We are requesting funding towards delivery costs of sports camps, funding from the Papakura Local Board will be directly applied to participating Papakura Schools to reduce participation fees for these schools. Delivering sports camps will provide an opportunity South Auckland students would not otherwise get. Delivery costs include accommodation, catering, RSO facilitation, transport etc. Funding will help us keep the cost of attending camps in reach for South Auckland Schools (cost to schools will depend on the level of funding we receive– the goal is to deliver to schools for under $100 per student if we can cover delivery costs).

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We aim to fund the camps as much as possible in order to reduce the cost to schools to attend camp, if necessary, we may have to increase the participation fees per student, although we will keep the price as low as we can so the camps are accessible.

Cost of participation:

The cost of participation will be dependent on how much funding we receive. Possible cost of approx. $60 per student depending on amount of funding raised. The goal is for funding to cover delivery costs so Papakura schools can participate for the lowest cost per student possible.

2024/2025 Papakura Local Grant, Round Two   

LG2514-251

Southside Drama

 

 

Legal status:

Informal group/ no legal structure

Activity focus:

Arts and culture

Project: Southside Production Project

Location:

Elim Christian Centre, 28 East Street, Papkura, Auckland 2110

Summary:

We are seeking funding for our 2026 drama production, particularly for the venue hire, which is expected to be $2800. This is an essential component of our project.
Southside drama will be engaging an educational consultant specialising in dramatic arts, who over an approximately 2 week period will provide an intensive drama experience culminating in a professional production. Participants are led through the entire process of staging a production, including scene blocking, costume design, line learning, voice projection, lighting, sound, props, characterisation, directing, videography, photography, programme design and advertising, emphasising fun and confidence building.

Expertise:

Southside Drama has delivered similar drama projects in various forms for the past 17 years. The professional consultant we employ has been involved with young people in education, workshops and productions for 30 years in NZ and Scotland.
 
Southside has a core of experienced, supportive adults, including trained sound and lighting technicians, who have volunteered over several years, collaborating to achieve the many varied facets of a production. Several previous participants are now involved in tech and stage design.
 
Mentoring plays a significant role in how and why these production projects work. Older participants mentor younger in many ways. Southsides' priority is to create a supportive and safe environment in which every individual is heard, while actively collaborating with others.

Dates:

27/02/2026 - 14/03/2026

People reached:

250

% of participants from Local Board

60%

Promotion:

We will produce flyers containing the Papakura Board logo for the participants to distribute to their families, friends, and at activities where they have personal involvement. Flyers can be distributed at fundraising events, displayed in local businesses and libraries, and on community notice boards. Further advertising will be through social media and email loops with acknowledgment to the Papakura Board.
A Papakura Local Board logo will be on the programme given out at all the performances.
A poster will be displayed at the show acknowledging the contribution of the Papakura Local Board.

 

Conflicts of interest: Two of the families involved in the project are attendees of Elim church, who we will be hiring the venue from. However these families do not stand to personality profit from the venue hire income. Our decision to use this venue significantly reduces our costs, as to hire a theatre (as we have done in the past) would cost upwards of $8000 (cf $2800).

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      Regular local cultural and arts experiences in Papakura

For the youth involved, this intensive drama experience is the highlight of the year. Drama is a creative, artistic experience. Southside drama's immersive drama experience and production seek to build self-confidence, healthy self-esteem, creativity, self-expression,
presentation skills, and teamwork in young people, giving them an opportunity to further grow and develop as they work towards future goals and aspirations. It gives these youth the chance to showcase their acting talent and creativity before an audience, in some cases
for the first time ever.
 
For the production, the youth are solely responsible for organising themselves backstage, thereby developing their self-reliance and confidence. This drama experience will contribute to these youth becoming valuable members of society.
 
The show is advertised to the local Papakura community and provides a family-friendly, affordable opportunity for members of the local community to experience a stage production. It allows the wider community of South Auckland to appreciate, celebrate and enjoy the creative acting talent of these young people.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      No Māori outcomes identified

 

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Both in terms of participation in the show as a cast member, or as a part of the audience, those with disabilities are welcome. In the car park there are spaces reserved for those with disabilities. Elim Christian Centre Papakura has elevator access directly from the car park, and there is a disabled toilet. Individual chairs can be moved to accommodate wheelchairs etc. According to their website, "Our building team has given special consideration to those with extra accessibility needs and is confident that there should be no obstacles when entering our auditorium."

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

The intensive two week training workshop and final production will be undertaken in a smoke-free building and there is an unspoken rule that the whole event is smoke-free. Youth are encouraged to reduce their waste and clean up after themselves - the intention is to
leave the venue better than it was found. As much as possible we reuse costumes and props to reduce waste, and purchase second hand.
Youth and everyone involved are encouraged to bring healthy food items for sustenance. They are taught that in order to maintain their mental, emotional and physical health and wellbeing it is really important that they eat healthily. They are also encouraged to drink plenty of water. In addition, for the intermission of the show healthy options for food and drink will be provided for the audience to purchase. We work hard to cater for dietary needs also.
Participants are expected to exercise in their break times, plus the preparation and intense drama training is very active. The importance of rest and quiet time to refresh is also underlined.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

While Maori are not specifically targeted, our group does include some with Maori heritage.
The project is primarily targeted at young people between the ages of 9 and 17, with the involvement of young adults and people of all ages as volunteers and audience members.
The actors and audience will mostly be from the South Auckland area, especially Papakura, Manurewa, and Franklin. Audience members travel from throughout Auckland and even from other cities.

Financial information

Requesting grant for:

We would like to request funding towards venue hire please. For our 2026 production we intend to hire the auditorium at Elim Christian Centre in Papakura as we have done for our last three productions. In both 2023 and 2024 (and next week for our 2025 production) they kindly accommodated/will accommodate us around their usual activities.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

Firstly please note that we plan to apply for more grants e.g. Creative Communities and Manurewa Local Board but haven't for 2026 yet, so we hope to have more funding available. This is why the expenditure vs income doesn't quite match up.
However if we get less funding than hoped, participants and their families will have to either contribute more, or do extra fundraising, and/or compromise on stage and lighting which would affect the quality of the outcome.

Cost of participation:

The projected cost before fundraising and grants to run this project is approx $700 per child to cover training/preparation and production costs. Since this is being planned as a collaborative project between a number of families, we will ask families to commit to covering whatever the final cost per child ends up being, rather than having a set registration fee. We obviously intend to make this cost as affordable for the families involved as possible, via grants and fundraising! Tickets are usually sold for a minimal price eg. $15 for an adult and will help to bring costs down.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Our Vision is to “Enable young people to express their authenticity while growing a vibrant community that supports them”. Working with our priority groups, we use a strength based, equity approach, recognising the innate mana of each individual and community.
Our services provide safe spaces for youth to amplify and articulate their korero. They are a gateway for young people to join the conversation providing leadership tools, connection and platforms for self-advocacy and self-determination. 
This creative and transformative work empowers young people to learn to articulate their thoughts clearly, to stand tall in front of an audience, and to listen deeply to others. Our programmes create a sense of belonging. This sense of connection is vital for wellbeing and resilience. Our impact goes beyond Spoken Word poetry. Our workshops, programmes and mentoring foster crucial life skills. These are skills that serve young people well in all aspects of life, from education to employment to community leadership.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To enhance community wellbeing

Our Spoken Word programmes provide safe spaces for diverse communities to come together in solidarity, voice their issues and challenges, and grow their collective resilience. The Spoken Word artform in its essence is a healthy way for community to express themselves allowing community to build protective factors, uplift and enhance their mana, and manifest hope for their future. 
Our organisation works with communities who have significant numbers of marginalised young people who are at higher risk of poor outcomes. Currently this includes Maori, Pasifika, Rainbow, and Muslim young people. The issues that these communities face are xenophobia, racism, discrimination, homophobia, transphobia, mental unwellness, alcohol and substance abuse, bullying, socioeconomic, cultural and education barriers, unemployment, violence and isolation.  
Our programmes provide spaces for these communities to be truly seen, felt, and heard, and allow for authentic conversation and connection.

 

Collaborating organisation/individual

Role

We hold the largest network of Spoken Word Artists, and we are the largest employer of poets in Aotearoa – many are our award-winning programme alumni such as Nga Hine Pukorero (Creative NZ Te Waka Toi Award), Takunda Muzondiwa (NZ Poetry Slam National Champion), Aigalefili Fepulieai-Tapuai (Supreme Youth Advocacy Award - Pacific Cooperation Foundation Youth Leadership) and Rehekorero (Trans-Tasman Slam Champions).

This team of community facilitators are contracted to support delivery of our projects.

 

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori led - either a Māori organisation that is applying or Māori directed (came about as a request from Māori), Māori involvement in the design/concept, Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language), Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

We are an indigenous led organisation who is committed to delivering a rights-based service that recognises, respects, and demonstrates our responsibilities to Te Tiriti O Waitangi. Our commitment to Te Tiriti is reflected in our Trust Deed, Values, Operations and Service Delivery, Approach, Evaluation, and deliberate investment into the rangatahi and whanau that we both represent and serve. For many Māori, Spoken Word is a form of language and culture revitalisation. Māori youth have gravitated strongly towards Spoken Word Poetry as it encourages them to engage with their traditional practices and speak to their history, aspirations, triumphs, and challenges. We seek to build mana enhancing relationships within our community, empowering tino rangatiratanga and mana motuhake of rangatahi.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our work is mainly held at secondary schools and community centres which are all well equipped to provide access for those with physical disabilities. Upon entry into our programmes, we take into account the unique needs of each individual so that we can ensure they are comfortable and can fully participate.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

We work in a holistic manner taking into consideration Te Whare Tapa Wha physical, mental, whanau, and spiritual wellbeing (which includes relationship to whenua) of the young people. These themes are addressed within the shared space through whakawhiti korero / talanoa.

By equipping participants with essential life skills, leadership training, and mentorship, the programme helps reduce youth disengagement, increases employment readiness, and promotes long-term financial stability.
 
Through structured mentorship and personal development, the programme builds confidence, resilience, and a sense of accountability, reducing negative behaviors and fostering a culture of positivity, respect, and responsibility. By creating connections with local businesses and industry professionals, Positive Pathways also enhances career opportunities, supporting economic growth by guiding young men towards sustainable employment and entrepreneurship.
 
Additionally, the programme strengthens whānau and community relationships, encouraging participants to become role models and contribute positively to their families and wider community. By fostering self-discipline, teamwork, and leadership, Positive Pathways helps shape a more engaged, skilled, and empowered generation, leading to a stronger, safer, and more economically sustainable Papakura.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To nurture and grow relationships to achieve economic development outcomes

The Positive Pathways Programme fosters relationships that drive economic development in Papakura by equipping young men with the skills, mindset, and networks needed to succeed. Through structured mentorship and leadership development, participants build confidence, resilience, and a strong work ethic, essential for long-term career success. The program connects young men with local businesses, industry professionals, and community leaders, creating pathways to employment, apprenticeships, and entrepreneurship. By integrating goal setting, financial literacy, and life skills, participants gain the knowledge to make informed economic decisions, break cycles of financial hardship, and work toward financial independence. Additionally, the program instills a sense of responsibility and community contribution, encouraging young men to support their whānau and invest back into the local economy. Through these combined efforts, Positive Pathways plays a crucial role in shaping a generation of economically resilient, community-minded leaders in Papakura.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

The Positive Pathways Programme aligns with and supports Māori outcomes by fostering whanaungatanga (relationships), manaakitanga (care and respect), and tino rangatiratanga (self-determination) among young Māori men in the Papakura community.
 
Through mentorship, personal development, and physical training, the programme helps participants strengthen their identity, confidence, and resilience, ensuring they can navigate challenges with a strong sense of whakapapa (heritage) and purpose. We integrate kaupapa Māori values into our approach by emphasizing collective well-being, leadership development, and whakawhanaungatanga (building connections) through team-based activities. Facilitators encourage holistic well-being (hauora), incorporating physical, mental, spiritual, and social health, which aligns with Māori health models such as Te Whare Tapa Whā.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - The Positive Pathways Programme is committed to being inclusive and accessible for individuals with disabilities by providing a supportive, adaptable, and barrier-free environment. We ensure flexible participation by modifying activities to suit different physical abilities, allowing all participants to engage at their own pace. Our facilitators are trained to provide one-on-one guidance, encouragement, and adaptive learning strategies, ensuring that every participant feels supported and included.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

The Positive Pathways Programme actively promotes a healthy environment by fostering a culture of well-being, resilience, and positive lifestyle choices. We emphasize a fitness-focused and health-conscious approach through structured activities and education.
 
Physical fitness is a core component of the programme, incorporating strength training, cardiovascular exercises, and team-based activities that build discipline, resilience, and confidence. Additionally, we educate participants on healthy eating habits, offering nutritional guidance and access to nutritious food options that support physical and mental performance.
 
By embedding these principles into every aspect of the programme, we create an environment where healthy living becomes the norm, empowering young men to make sustainable lifestyle choices that benefit their long-term health and well-being.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Yes, the Positive Pathways Programme is specifically designed to support young men aged 15-18 years. While the programme is open to all ethnicities, it has a strong focus on Māori and Pasifika youth, recognizing the unique challenges they face and integrating culturally responsive mentorship and support.

Project: Employment Relationships Education and empowerment

Location:

Local Schools and community centres

Summary:

Young Workers Resource Centre (YWRC) is seeking funding to support the delivery of our empowering workplace education to young individuals in secondary schools, tertiary institutions, and youth organisations within the Papakura area and to ensure that our Help Centre is always accessible to young workers - providing personalised support to Rangatahi facing specific workplace issues. We're stepping up to empower our youth with the knowledge they need before they step into the workforce. Through our workshops, we're equipping them with the necessary skills to avoid and handle possible exploitation at work.

Expertise:

Our organisation has had 30 years of experience in delivering workshops to rangatahi. In the past this has primarily been in the Waikato. In 2021 we were able to employ an Auckland based educator to foster relationships with the local schools and expand our reach to Tamaki. Last year we delivered a total of 37 workshops throughout Tamaki, reaching just under 700 students. If this funding is approved it will allow us to focus on building relationships with the local schools in Papakura and ensure we are providing our services to the rangatahi in your area.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Ensuring young workers know their employment rights and are empowered with the knowledge and tools to enter into the workplace with a clear understanding of what a healthy employment relationship looks like not only benefits the rangatahi, but their future employers and their friends and family as well.
We prepare them to enter into the workforce with an understanding and clear expectations of what a healthy employment relationship is and to recognise what decent work looks like. We teach them to communicate effectively and address concerns early, and to challenge negative employment experiences. This not only creates an expectation of decent employment, but also empowers them to call out negative behaviour. It has also been shown that once a worker is confident in knowing and enforcing their own rights they are more likely to support others to do the same. This results in not only in improved employment outcomes directly for rangatahi who use our service but indirectly their friends and whanau will benefit as well.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Papakura

·      To nurture and grow relationships to achieve economic development outcomes

Young workers are at higher risk of exploitation in the workplace and are more likely to be hired into industries with poor employment practices and precarious working conditions. By facilitating our workshops, we will empower Papakura Rangatahi with their rights in the workplace before or as they enter the workforce. Papakura local board discusses advocating for early conversations in schools about possible pathways. While YWRC doesn’t talk to specific industry pathways we do cover something that is often missed when exploring employability for youth - understanding how employment relationships work and what fair employment should look like
 
We equip rangatahi with the necessary skills to avoid and handle possible exploitation at work, and we are preparing them to enter the workforce with a working knowledge of employment relationships. We're setting the bar high, encouraging young people to stand against injustice and, in turn, inspire others to do the same. Our aim goes beyond providing better job opportunities for our rangatahi. We're equipping them with the tools to be better prepared and more resilient from the moment they enter into the workforce.  We give them confidence and knowledge to foster healthy employment relationships, creating a ripple effect that benefits not just them and their employers but their wider communities too.

Māori outcomes:

·      Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

We focus our delivery to secondary schools in the first instance, then community groups. Due to the large Maaori population based in Papakura, we anticipate a high level of maaori representation. 
Our workshops themselves are designed to be inclusive and accesible but do not have a specific te ao maori lense due to the primarily paakeha world view the employment sector functions within. 
Our organisation is made up of 50% maaori staff and we are actively working towards decolonisation of our organisation and increasing the tikanga, maatauranga and reo used as part of our core day to day operations. This includes all staff participating in weekly Te Reo Maaori lessons.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our workshops are created to be accesible for all abilities and learning types. We focus on being flexible and are able to modify our services to suit the audience we are delivering too.

Healthy environment approach:

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

We are for youth, by youth, with youth. Our services are for young people between 14 and 35 years old.
 
Due to YWRC having a youth focus, we do not have any further focus on other specific groups because all genders and ethnicities fall under the youth umbrella and it is equally important for them all to have access to the information we teach.

Our club operates at the Drury Sports Complex and our members play at other parks in the area as well.
Part of our game regulations mandate that a technical area be marked out and that teams sit in that area.  The most practical way to do this while givng shelter from winter weather is to have dugouts, basically sheltered seating.

Additional information to support the application:

We have had these dugouts for several years and they have deteriorated in this time partly due to weather (being blown over, filled with water, tree branches blown into them) and partly due to vandalism (being tipped over, climbed on, balls kicked at them).  This has cracked & broken off the plastic walls and broken the wheels.
We plan to replace the walls with stronger polycarbonate sheets and replace the tyres with non-pnuematic wheels for longevity.
We will also install stakes and tethers so they can be moved to safety and locked up when not in use.

Papakura Play Plan 2025

File No.: CP2025/05798

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To adopt the Papakura Play Plan 2025, which provides guidance on emerging play issues and opportunities for non-playground play projects.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Papakura Play Plan 2025 provides Papakura Local Board with general information and specific project suggestions to increase the range of play opportunities it offers.

3.       The play plan has been developed with community and council staff guidance. The local board has provided feedback on an earlier draft of the document. The final version of the Papakura Play Plan 2025 is now offered to the local board for adoption.

4.       A Supplementary Information document has also been provided. It includes relevant demographic information for the local board area, and insights from Regional Sports Trusts and the council’s Advisory Panels. This information has informed the advice staff provide to Papakura Local Board regarding play.

5.       The play plan does not commit the local board to funding any particular play project. Instead, it will serve as a tool to support work programme planning each year.

6.       The report recommends that Papakura Local Board adopt the Papakura Play Plan 2025 and use it as a resource for the future development of play.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      whai / adopt the Papakura Play Plan 2025 set out in Attachment A to this report.

 

Horopaki

Context

7.       Auckland Council’s play advocacy function promotes play opportunities beyond investment in traditional playgrounds, with play regarded as ‘an everywhere activity’.

8.       The play advocacy approach complements local boards’ capital investments in play. It does not however replace the ongoing need for investment in playgrounds.

9.       Staff engaged with Papakura Local Board at various workshops in 2023 and 2024. A play advocacy activity was included in the local board’s annual work programme in the 2023/2024 and the 2024/2025 financial years. In the 2024/2025 financial year a budget of $3,000 was allocated.

10.     In the 2023/2024 work programme, staff committed to delivering a ‘play plan’ for Papakura Local Board. This document provides advice on how play outcomes can be achieved with operational expenditure (OPEX) funding. It also provides guidance on relevant play issues that the local board might like to consider.

11.     A draft version of the Papakura Play Plan 2025 was discussed with the local board at a workshop in December 2024. Elected member feedback was incorporated into the final draft. Staff are seeking adoption of the plan in Attachment A.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

12.     The Papakura Play Plan 2025 (‘the play plan’) is aligned with the Papakura Local Board Plan 2023. It is intended to be a live document for the life of the local board plan. The play plan will be revised throughout the 2026 – 2029 term of the local board.

13.     The play plan complements previous staff advice about play and other council work programmes that provide play outcomes. This includes play provision assessments and play network gap analyses completed by the Specialist Operations team, and the activation programme delivered by the Out and About Auckland team.

14.     The play plan highlights the need to engage effectively with rangatahi regarding play. The gap in play provision for rangatahi is well known across Tāmaki Makaurau, and the play plan offers suggestions about how this can be addressed through both operational (OPEX) and capital (CAPEX) investment.

15.     Accessible play is a growing focus within the play sector. The play plan provides guidance to Papakura Local Board about the different needs of tamariki with invisible and visible disabilities. It also discusses ways that the council can address these groups’ play requirements.

16.     All-ages play is also a topic of interest to most local boards. The play plan addresses this by highlighting opportunities for intergenerational play. It also advocates for greater engagement with rangatahi to learn more about this demographic’s play interests. It provides some suggestions for ways to better provide play for rangatahi and adults in formal play spaces.

17.     The play plan presents elected members with specific project ideas to increase play provision across Papakura, and suggestions of local board advocacy for broader play outcomes. The project suggestions are indicative only and do not commit the local board to funding any particular project. Language has been added to the play plan to this effect.

18.     In response to feedback from a range of local boards, all play plans have been revised as follows:

·    a Chair’s Message has been included at the beginning of the document

·    operational details such as proposed project costs have been removed, to better reflect the strategic nature of the Play Plan and the local board’s governance-level decision-making role

·    a page has been inserted to acknowledge the opportunity for play to support the wellbeing of older adults

·    the document has been divided into two separate parts: the Papakura Play Plan 2025, which is action-focused; and the Papakura Play Plan 2025 Supplementary Information document, which includes supporting insights and other reference materials.

19.     Staff will use the play plan to inform discussions during work programme development. Each year, the local board may choose to allocate a budget toward play through its annual work programme development process.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

20.     The play advocacy approach has an enduring positive climate impact. It encourages whānau to embrace their streets, local parks and public spaces as sites for play. This reduces the need to drive to playgrounds.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

21.     The play plan has been written with input from the council’s Activation and Events teams within the Community Wellbeing department. Further review and feedback has been provided by staff in the Pools and Leisure and the Parks and Community Facilities departments.

22.     The play plan highlights the value of integrating play into other council work programmes, and in the work of Council-Controlled Organisations like Auckland Transport and Watercare.

23.     The Supplementary Information document includes insights from the council’s various Advisory Panels, which each represent different groups in the community. Staff engaged directly with the Advisory Panels and sought their feedback regarding play issues relevant to them.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

24.     Play is of perennial interest to the wider community, with most families aware of its benefit to their tamariki. As freedom to roam and play without adult supervision has declined for tamariki in Tāmaki Makaurau during the past three decades, there has been growing pressure on the council to build and maintain playgrounds. The play advocacy approach, as set out in the play plan, both acknowledges the importance of playgrounds, and offers other ways to provide opportunities to play.

25.     Tāmaki Makaurau’s four Regional Sports Trusts have the capacity to engage directly with tamariki in a school setting, and the Play Leads at each Regional Sports Trust have done so at several primary schools. The insights gathered have informed staff advice to Papakura Local Board about how to provide play beyond a playground setting. In particular, tamariki voice has identified a widespread appetite for more adventurous play.

26.     The Supplementary Information document contains demographic information from the 2023 Census, highlighting changing ethnic demographics in Papakura. Analysis of the local board’s demographic data has contributed to staff advice to Papakura Local Board.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

27.     The play plan references the Māori outcomes identified in the Papakura Local Board Plan 2023. It highlights several ways that play can support Māori outcomes, including:

·    using Te Aranga Māori Design principles in the design of playgrounds, to communicate iwi narratives through colour choices, cultural motifs, and other elements

·    developing and installing māra hūpara – Māori playgrounds that draw on pre-colonial play traditions from local iwi

·    exploring ways that the Te Kete Rukuruku dual naming project could create opportunities for playful interpretation of the narratives behind gifted te reo names

·    providing Māori play activations through the Out and About Auckland programme.

28.     The play plan acknowledges the importance of taking an iwi-led approach for any play provision that is aligned with Māori outcomes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

29.     Although the play plan contains indicative costs for some potential play projects, it is not a prescriptive document and does not commit the local board to funding any of the projects. Language has been included in the play plan to make this clear to all readers.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

30.     The following table identifies risks associated with Papakura Local Board adopting its play plan and sets out appropriate mitigation measures.

Risk

Mitigation

Adopting the play plan raises community expectations regarding investment in new play projects

Language within the play plan to emphasise the non-prescriptive nature of the document and its purpose as a guide for potential play investment only

Adopting the play plan results in concern from the community that investment in CAPEX play will not continue

Language within the play plan to confirm that non-playground play is intended to complement and not replace wider investment in play assets

 

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

31.     Staff will participate in annual work programme planning, drawing on the play plan to advise the local board of project opportunities.

32.     The Papakura Play Plan 2025 will be revised on a three-year basis, to ensure it remains aligned with the Papakura Local Board’s local board plan.

Proposed changes to the draft Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau: Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy

File No.: CP2025/06456

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek local board endorsement of the amended Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau: Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy following public consultation.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       On 10 December 2024, the Policy and Planning Committee approved public consultation on the draft of Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau: Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy [PEPCC/2024/131 and PEPCC/2024/132].

3.       A total of 402 pieces of feedback were received, through consultation and a People’s Panel survey. Overall, there is strong support for the draft strategy but also opportunities to make changes. A detailed feedback report is provided in Attachment A.

4.       Having considered public feedback, as well as local board resolutions on the draft strategy, staff propose changes to the draft strategy, the most significant being:

·    more explicitly emphasising the importance of equity and accessibility in providing open spaces and play, sport and recreation opportunities (including in the strategic directions, investment principles and policies)

·    greater emphasis on the importance of environment and biodiversity outcomes (including in the investment principles and Policy one)

·    greater emphasis on the purpose and benefits of regional parks (in Policy two)

·    including the capacity-focused approach (Option package two) for open space provision standards (in Policy two)

·    refining the strategic directions based on a range of other consultation feedback

·    making the decision-making responsibilities of local boards clearer

·    clarifying the meaning of ‘value for money’

·    providing clearer direction in the policy section to ensure local boards receive the necessary advice for decision-making

·    clarifying that the council attempts to acquire land early in the development process as budget is available.

5.       The proposed changes are reflected in the amended strategy (see final draft in Attachment B with track changes).

6.       Local boards have called for a better understanding of local impacts. Staff have developed examples of implementation scenarios, existing good practices and potential local applications of the new open space provision standards (see Attachment C), noting that much of how the strategy is implemented is at the discretion of each local board.

7.       In addition, staff are working with local board advisors to scope how advice to local boards could be improved to deliver on the strategy. To date, we have identified potential improvements: consolidating information provided to local boards, involving local boards earlier in planning processes, improving alignment between regional and local planning cycles, funding and budgets and providing information on trade-offs (see Attachment D).

8.       The Policy and Planning Committee will consider adopting the final amended strategy in May 2025. The agenda report will contain the local board resolutions.

9.       If the final amended strategy is adopted, staff will develop an implementation and monitoring plan, including tools and guidance, to support delivery by local boards and the Governing Body. Staff will also continue to scope improvements to local board advice.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      ohia / endorse the final amended Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau: Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy in Attachment B

b)      ohia / endorse updating the open space provision standards in the strategy with Option package two – capacity-focused approach: provide more open space than currently enabled in high- and medium-density areas where residents have low or moderate levels of provision.

Horopaki

Context

The draft strategy outlines how we will provide open spaces and sport and recreation opportunities

10.     As a regional public policy, the draft of Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau: Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy sets the strategic directions we seek to achieve for open space, sport and recreation in Auckland and against which we will monitor progress. It forms a unifying roadmap for the council group to deliver and for other non-council organisations and community groups to contribute. 

11.     It brings together five existing strategies, policies and plans and provides a refreshed and consolidated approach to planning and investment. It aims to provide open spaces and sport and recreation opportunities to benefit all Aucklanders, now and in the future, to improve the health of Tāmaki Makaurau.

The development of the draft strategy was supported by an advisory structure

12.     The development of the draft strategy was informed by a strong evidence base and supported by an advisory structure that met regularly to provide input and direction.

13.     The advisory structure includes the Open Space, Sport and Recreation Joint Political Working Group (featuring two councillors, two local board members and one Houkura member), an advisory and Māori rōpū (with mana whenua, mataawaka and sector representatives) and key kaimahi from across the council group.

14.     Local boards were also engaged throughout the development of the draft strategy via memos, presentations, briefings, workshops and business meetings (refer Attachment A, pages 3-4).

Gathering Aucklanders’ views provides an opportunity to further refine the draft strategy

15.     On 10 December 2024, the Policy and Planning Committee approved public consultation on the draft strategy [PEPCC/2024/131 and PEPCC/2024/132].

16.     Consultation was designed to seek Aucklanders’ views on the draft strategy and identify any relevant questions, concerns or additional information to strengthen or modify it.

17.     Consultation took place from 10 February to 10 March 2025 and was advertised on Our Auckland and in libraries. Staff also requested that local board engagement advisors and key stakeholders share the consultation opportunity with their communities and networks. The engagement approach involved online submissions via the Have Your Say project page, by email or postal mail, as well as in person drop-in sessions at libraries and Pasifika Festival and hui with the demographic advisory panels, key stakeholders and mataawaka.

18.     Staff also ran a People’s Panel survey in December 2024.

19.     The five topics we asked for feedback on were:

·    Where we are heading (strategic directions)

·    Our approach to investment (investment principles)

·    Making the most of our open spaces (policy one)

·    Providing the right open spaces in the right places (policy two), including two options for open space provision outlined below

·    Supporting Aucklanders to be more active more often (policy three).

20.     The consultation included the following two option packages to update the open space provision standards:

·    Option package one – High-density focused: provide more open space than currently enabled in high-density areas

·    Option package two – Capacity focused: provide more open space than currently enabled in high- and medium-density areas where residents have low or moderate levels of existing provision.

21.     These two option packages are explained in more detail from paragraph 31.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

The consultation feedback shows we are on the right track

22.     We received 149 pieces of consultation feedback, as well as 253 responses to the People’s Panel survey. Attachment A provides a detailed summary of the feedback.

23.     Submitters included members of the public, a range of partners and stakeholders (including organisations such as Aktive, Forest and Bird, Healthy Auckland Together, Property Council New Zealand and Te Whānau o Waipareira) and members of the council’s demographic advisory panels.

24.     There is strong support for:

·    the draft strategy overall

·    the five draft strategic directions, with the highest support for Strategic direction five: support Aucklanders to live healthy, active lives

·    the four draft investment principles, with the highest support for investment principle one: taking a benefits-led approach to improve the holistic wellbeing of people, places and the environment

·    all three policies, with the highest support for Policy one: making the most of our open spaces.

25.     Overall, submitters prefer a capacity-focused approach (Option package two) – taking an equity lens to deliver more open space where it is needed most in high- and medium-density areas – rather than a high-density-focused approach (Option package one) – delivering more open space in high-density areas – for open space provision standards.

26.     Analysis of the qualitative feedback outlined a range of key themes:

·    open and green spaces are essential for mental and physical health

·    all Aucklanders must have access to safe, well-maintained open spaces

·    open space planning needs to be an integral part of urban planning

·    open spaces must serve a wide range of functions

·    our resources should be used efficiently.

Staff propose changes to the draft strategy in response to the feedback

27.     Staff considered the feedback received and are proposing amending the strategy as a result (see Attachment A, pages 38-47).

28.     A summary of the most significant proposed changes is shown in Table One. In addition, staff have made minor changes to address specific feedback, clarify intent and meaning or update technical information.

Table One: Proposed changes to the draft strategy based on consultation feedback

·      More explicitly emphasise the importance of equity and accessibility in the strategy on pages 7, 8, 11, 34, 46, 81, 82, 85 and in the glossary

·      Include greater emphasis on the importance of environment and biodiversity outcomes on pages 14, 20, 25, 29, 31, 44, 45 and 46

·      Include greater emphasis on the purpose and benefits of regional parks on page 78

·      Include the capacity-focused approach (Option package two) for open space provision standards and delete the high-density focused approach (Option package one) on pages 46, 48, 49 and 52

·      Refine the strategic directions based on a range of other consultation feedback on pages 11, 12 and 14.

Staff also propose changes to the draft strategy in response to local board resolutions

29.     Staff have also amended the draft strategy in response to local board feedback received in November and December 2024. The key changes are presented in Attachment A (pages 48-49) and summarised in Table Two below.

Table Two: Proposed changes to the draft strategy in response to local board feedback

·      Make the decision-making responsibilities of local boards clearer, moving the table previously on page 23 to page 9

·      Clarify the meaning of ‘value for money’ in the strategy on page 17 and in the glossary

·      Provide clearer direction in the policy sections to ensure local boards receive the necessary advice for decision-making on page 28

·      Clarify that the council attempts to acquire land early in the development process on page 58.

30.     All proposed changes are included in track changes in the amended strategy (Attachment B).

Staff recommend a capacity-based approach to open space provision standards

31.     As part of the strategy development, staff are proposing updated provision standards for pocket parks and neighbourhood parks to provide better open space outcomes in high- and medium-density areas and greenfield areas. The provision standards help us to ensure we are providing the right open spaces in the right places so Aucklanders can play, be active and enjoy nature.

Summary of option packages analysis – for more details refer CP2025/06456

A report to local boards and to the Policy and Planning Committee in late 2024 provided detailed analysis of the two option packages. Staff recommended Option package two as the preferred option.

Both packages are outlined below. They reflect different ways of adding to our existing open space network across Auckland to continue serving the needs of a growing population.

Density

​Park type

​Current provision standards

​Option package one:
High-density focused

​Option package two:
Capacity focused (recommended)

High-density areas or other areas developed to an equivalent density

​Pocket parks 

​1000-1500m² provided at no capital cost to the council

​1000-1500m2 acquired at cost​ to the council regardless of capacity

1000-1500m² in areas with moderate or low capacity acquired at cost to the council

Neighbourhood parks 
(within 400m walking distances)

3000m² to 5000m2

5000m2 regardless of capacity

2000m² to 5000m2 depending on capacity

Medium-density areas

Pocket parks

No pocket parks

1000-1500m² provided at no capital cost to the council

​Neighbourhood parks 
(within 400m walking distances)

​3000m² to 5000m2

No change

2000m² to 5000m2 depending on capacity

Low-density areas

Neighbourhood parks 
(within 600m walking distances)

​3000m² to 5000m2

​3000m²

Urban density is based on the Auckland Unitary Plan zones. Varying provision standards based on planned intensification levels enables us to better provide according to the likely demand for public open space, as well as likely private open space provision levels. 

The capacity measure is a proposed addition to the existing policy. While the quantity of open space provision per capita is not a meaningful metric in isolation, it provides a basis of comparison when considering future provision across Auckland’s urban areas. There is no accepted international or national capacity standards. Based on local observations and international examples, we propose that capacity is considered low when below 10m2 of open space per person, moderate when between 10 and 20m2 and high when more than 20m2.

Both packages involve trade-offs, as shown below.

 

Trade-offs

Option package one
High-density focused

Delivers more open space in high-density areas than current policy but larger parks might be difficult to acquire due to land ownership and cost.

Is a simple standard to understand but not tailored to where provision is most needed.

Option package two
Capacity focused

Is more affordable than Option package one but does not deliver the same level of additional open spaces in high-density areas.

Takes an equity lens by focusing provision where most needed but is more complicated to understand and apply.

32.     To illustrate how the two open space provision option packages would apply on the ground, staff have developed some case studies (with maps), which are provided in Attachment C.

 

 

Consultation feedback supports the capacity-based approach

33.     Overall, respondents expressed the importance of open space for mental and physical wellbeing and their desire for open space provision to be an integral part of neighbourhood planning. Feedback highlighted the importance of taking an equity lens to open space provision, targeting areas where it is needed most.

34.     Consultation feedback (see Attachment A, page 33) shows an overall preference for a capacity-focused approach to open space provision (Option package two). The support for Option package 2 amongst Have Your Say submitters is similar across Auckland, and slightly higher in the north area.

Figure One: Preference for open space provision standards

35.     Stakeholders and partners also favour Option package two over Option package one.

36.     Property Council New Zealand, however, expressed concerns that either package was too rigid and that they would increase the cost of the council’s development contributions levy and ultimately development. The development sector also wishes for more delivery partnerships with the council. This can be investigated at implementation stage.

37.     Based on previous analysis and consultation feedback, staff recommend that the final amended strategy includes Option package two.   

Staff will continue work to support implementation of the strategy

38.     Both local boards and the Governing Body have decision-making responsibilities for the provision of open space, sport and recreations services and assets. 

39.     Staff have developed examples of local board planning and delivery scenarios and case studies of what good practice looks like (see Attachment C). They provide an overview of how key parts of the strategy could be applied locally and examples of things that are already being done well and we would like to see more of. These are included to aid local board understanding of what delivery could look like. How the strategy would be implemented if adopted would be at the discretion of local boards and the Governing Body in accordance with their decision-making responsibilities.

40.     Following feedback from local boards on the draft strategy prior to consultation, staff have been working with local board advisors and operational staff to understand opportunities to improve advice and support to local boards for implementation of the strategy.

41.     The multitude of documents, information and processes owned and managed by a range of teams across the council currently makes it difficult to provide concise, consistent and up-to-date advice to local boards. This impacts their ability to understand trade-offs and prioritise decisions to deliver for their communities.

42.     Preliminary findings point to potential improvements, such as consolidating information provided to local boards, involving local boards earlier in planning processes, improving alignment between regional and local planning cycles, funding and budgets and providing information on trade-offs (see Attachment D). 

43.     Staff will continue investigating potential improvements to the advice local boards receive, which will inform the development of an implementation and monitoring plan for the strategy (if adopted).

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

44.     The draft strategy considers how to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change and work to mitigate it, including by reducing emissions. One of the five strategic directions is to enhance our resilience to climate change and our contribution to mitigation, including through reducing carbon emissions, in line with Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland's Climate Plan.

45.     The draft strategy outlines what we will do to make this happen, including developing the blue-green network, accelerating the use of nature-based solutions, improving the environmental performance of our open spaces and facilities and adapting our open spaces and facilities on the coast and in flood-prone areas.

46.     While we already contribute to this strategic direction, the draft strategy proposes a ’do more’ approach to implementation. This is in recognition of the significant impacts of climate change on Aucklanders now and in the future.

47.     The investment approach in the draft strategy also includes a greater emphasis on identifying and quantifying the environmental benefits of our investment and designing initiatives to deliver multiple benefits, such as making recreation parks better able to support stormwater management.

Council group impacts and views

48.     Kaimahi from across the council group have provided input throughout the development of the draft strategy.

49.     Implementing the strategy will span across the investment areas identified in the council’s performance management framework.

50.     If the final amended strategy is adopted, an implementation and monitoring plan will be developed to support delivery. Kaimahi from across the council group will continue to provide input into this plan.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

51.     Levels of support for the draft strategy was broadly similar among Have Your Say respondents across the region. Attachment A provides sub-regional breakdowns of the results.

52.     Local boards have been engaged throughout the development of the draft strategy. Two local board members were in the Open Space, Sport and Recreation Joint Political Working Group: Member Sandra Coney and Member Margi Watson. In addition, staff provided memos and briefings and presented at workshops and business meetings.

53.     Local boards provided resolutions on the draft strategy going for consultation at their November / December 2024 business meetings.

54.     While there was general support for the strategic directions and investment principles in the draft strategy, local boards made a range of resolutions seeking better guidance from staff on open space matters, particularly the understanding of local impacts.

55.     Staff have attempted to respond to local boards’ request for more targeted advice (see paragraphs 38 to 43 and Attachment C and Attachment D).

56.     Local boards will consider how to deliver on the strategy, if adopted, as part of their local board plans and work programmes.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

57.     The views of mana whenua and mataawaka have been sought throughout the development of the draft strategy.

·    The Open Space, Sport and Recreation Joint Political Working Group includes one Houkura member, first Tony Kake, replaced subsequently by Pongarauhine Renata.

·    Both the advisory and Māori rōpū included mana whenua and mataawaka representatives. All iwi were invited to join the rōpū or engage in the manner that best suited them.

·    Mana whenua and mataawaka organisations were kept up to date with progress and invited to provide feedback during the consultation process.

58.     Guided by the Māori rōpū, the draft strategy incorporates a te ao Māori lens, one of the expectations of success set by the Governing Body and a key theme identified in the background paper. It is adapted from the te ao Māori framework developed for Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri – Auckland Climate Plan, and builds on a single value, manaakitanga. It includes a focus on investing in ‘by Māori for Māori’ solutions, building the capacity and capability of mana whenua and mataawaka and partnering with mana whenua to co-design our spaces and places.

59.     Consultation feedback on the draft strategy highlighted the importance of focusing on equity and addressing barriers to participation for Māori. This can be achieved by targeting investment, supporting Māori-led initiatives, aligning delivery with Māori health providers to improve overall wellbeing and providing spaces and places that are safe, affordable and accessible.

60.     Feedback also called for embedding Māori leadership at decision-making and implementation levels, including support for co-governance arrangements which is reflected in the strategy.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

61.     The strategy will be implemented using available budgets set during long-term plan and annual plan processes. When constrained by resourcing, the investment principles will support decision-makers in prioritising investment. 

62.     The draft strategy reflects the resource constraints faced by the council and the need to deliver value for money. The proposed investment approach emphasises the importance of establishing a robust evidence-based approach to investment and prioritisation to better support elected decision-makers. 

63.     Advice around investment in open space and sport and recreation will be based on a better articulation of costs and benefits, including in relation to local board plan priorities. This will be supported by a new tool to enable better identification, description and quantification of these benefits to help local boards prioritise investment.

64.     Consideration of a broad range of funding and delivery tools will support implementation, including making the most of what we have, delivering differently and partnerships.

Risks and mitigations

65.     Potential risks and mitigations are outlined below:

If…

Then…

Possible mitigations…

Local boards do not think the final amended strategy addresses their concerns

They will be less likely to support it, and the committee will be less likely to adopt it.

Medium reputational, strategic and delivery risk.

·           Staff have proposed changes to the draft strategy to reflect local board feedback.

·           Delivery of the strategy will be also supported by an implementation and monitoring plan. The three-yearly plan will set out what we will deliver and track progress against the five strategic directions. As part of this, staff are working to improve advice and support to local boards.

The final amended strategy does not provide clear enough direction to implementers

The strategy may not be incorporated into business as usual.

Low reputational, strategic and delivery risk.

·           Implementers provided regular input into development of the final amended strategy.

·           The implementation context, including financial constraints, has also informed the final amended strategy.

·           Staff are working with local boards on the advice and support they need for implementation.

·           Staff will continue to work with colleagues in planning for and supporting delivery, and monitoring progress.

The final amended strategy is perceived as unfunded.

Decision-makers may be less likely to adopt it.

Medium financial, reputational and strategic risk.

·           The final amended strategy sets strategic directions and investment principles to guide prioritisation and enable better informed discussions on future budget allocation.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

66.     Staff will include local board views when seeking adoption of the strategy from the Policy and Planning Committee in May 2025. The five existing strategies, policies and plans forming Auckland Council’s open space, sport and recreation policy framework would be rescinded.

67.     Staff will present the consultation feedback and proposed changes to the strategy to the Open Space, Sport and Recreation Joint Political Working Group at its meeting on 11 April 2025. Input and direction from the joint political working group will be reflected in the agenda report to the Policy and Planning Committee.

68.     Staff will also present the consultation feedback and proposed changes to the strategy to the Local Board Chairs’ Forum on 14 April 2025.

69.     If the final amended strategy is adopted, staff will develop an implementation and monitoring plan for committee’s approval. The plan will be developed with input from relevant staff across the council group, including Governance and Engagement. The plan would help embed the strategy’s investment principles into how we work, deliver on the strategic directions and monitor and evaluate delivery against the directions.

70.     Local boards have significant decision-making responsibilities with regards to implementing the strategy at the local level. This involves delivering open spaces and sport and recreation opportunities to their communities in line with the strategy through development of their local board plans and work programmes.

71.     Staff will continue working with local boards on improvements to advice, recognising that different local boards and / or clusters of local boards may require different and bespoke advice, and that the organisation is pivoting to support this.

Allocation of decision-making responsibilities for council-controlled organisation activities coming in house

File No.: CP2025/06453

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek feedback from local boards on the proposed approach to allocating decision-making responsibilities between the Governing Body and local boards as part of Annual Budget 2025/2026 decisions. In particular, for urban regeneration, property management and economic development activities which move into Auckland Council as a result of council-controlled organisations (CCO) reform decisions.

2.       To identify any additional matters requiring review.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3.       The CCO reform package in the Mayoral proposal, considered whether CCOs and the Auckland Council Group are structured in the best way to deliver on the long-term plan and its broader vision for Auckland. The goals of the reform included improving democratic accountability, strategic direction and council group effectiveness and efficiency.   

4.       In December 2024 the Governing Body confirmed structural changes to move urban regeneration, property management and economic development activities into Auckland Council no later than 1 July 2025.

5.       This means that decision-making responsibility for the activities currently governed by the Eke Panuku and Tātaki Auckland Unlimited (TAU) boards needs to be allocated by the Governing Body to either the Governing Body or local boards in accordance with section 17 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009. This will be recorded in the allocation of decision-making table (allocation table) for inclusion in the Annual Plan 2025/2026.

6.       For urban regeneration, staff recommend decision-making for the overall programme and associated budgets, and the city centre and waterfront programme sit with the Governing Body. Decision-making responsibility for implementing agreed priority location programmes would sit with local boards. 

7.       It is recommended that decision-making responsibility in relation to property and marina management also sit with the Governing Body, noting that further work is underway through the Group Property Review which might result in changes in the future.

8.       In the future, new urban regeneration or development programmes could be established.  The council proposes to undertake further work to clarify how these processes can best reflect the principle of subsidiarity. 

9.       For economic development activities staff do not consider that substantive changes to the existing allocation table are required. The allocation table already outlines that decisions on the regional economic development strategy, business improvement district (BID) policy, city centre and Auckland-wide economic development programmes sit with the Governing Body. Local boards have always held decision-making responsibilities for influencing local BID programmes, local economic development plans, projects and other local initiatives.

10.     Staff are aware that legislative change is proposed to bring several Auckland Transport functions into the council parent and the matters covered in this report should assist with the process of allocation of those decisions to the Governing Body or local boards in the future.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      provide feedback on staff proposals relating to the allocation of decision-making responsibility for:

i.        the urban regeneration and property management activities currently governed by the Eke Panuku board

ii.       the economic development activities currently governed by the Tātaki Auckland Unlimited board

to either the Governing Body or local boards in accordance with section 17 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

b)      note that staff recommendations and feedback from local boards will be considered at the Governing Body meeting on 29 May 2025 and associated changes to the allocation of decision-making table will be implemented as part of Annual Plan 2025/2026 decisions 

c)      note that further work is required in relation to determining the future decision-making allocation on:

i.        funding of new priority urban regeneration or development locations as additional programmes are identified

ii.       how anticipated demand from local boards for local economic development and urban regeneration advice is to be addressed

iii.      property management decisions (undertaken as part of the Group Property Review)

d)      provide feedback on any other matters requiring review.

Context

CCO reform decisions included moving urban regeneration, property and economic development activities in-house

11.     The CCO reform included analysis on the rationale for and performance of the current CCO model, and structural reform options for three CCOs – Auckland Transport, Eke Panuku and Tātaki Auckland Unlimited. The goals of the reform are to improve:

i.        democratic accountability over projects and services delivered to Aucklanders by CCOs

ii.       strategic alignment between council decision making and what CCOs do for Aucklanders

iii.      the effectiveness and efficiency of how the Auckland Council Group operates.

12.     Decisions on CCO reform were made on 12 December 2024 (GB/2024/179) and included transferring and integrating urban regeneration, property management and economic development activities into council. Key reasons for this integration include:

·    Urban regeneration – strengthening council’s ability to coordinate planning, strategy and delivery in a place-based way, including around strategic growth opportunities, large-scale developments and urban regeneration.

·    Property management – improving processes for buying, managing and selling council assets and improving collaboration across the council group to achieve greater financial and strategic value from property assets.

·    Economic developmentincreasing the council’s economic policy capability, identifying new opportunities and integrating advice on economic development issues into broader decision-making.

13.     As a result, there may be some additional decisions to be made by the Governing Body or local boards, that were previously made by the Eke Panuku and Tātaki Auckland Unlimited Boards.

Legislation sets how decision-making is allocated, including the use of the subsidiarity principle 

14.     The basis on which decision-making responsibility is allocated is what is known as the subsidiarity principle, as set out in Section 17 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 (LGACA). This states that decision-making should be local unless the nature of the activity is such that decision-making on an Auckland-wide basis will better promote the well-being of communities across Auckland because:

·   the impact of the decision will extend beyond a single local board area, or

·   effective decision-making will require alignment or integration with other decisions (that sit with the GB), or

·   the benefits of a consistent or co-ordinated approach across Auckland will outweigh the benefits of reflecting the diverse needs and preferences of the communities within each local board area.

15.     The Governing Body is responsible for allocating decision-making responsibility for non-regulatory activities in accordance with the principles outlined above, after considering the views and preferences expressed by each local board. The allocation of decision-making responsibility is then recorded in the Decision-making responsibilities of Auckland Council’s Governing Body and local boards Policy, which is included in each year’s Annual Plan (or the long-term plan every third year). The core part of this policy is what is generally known as the allocation table, which lists the non-regulatory activities for which the Governing Body and local boards have decision-making responsibility.

16.     The allocation table, with proposed changes shown, is included at Attachment A. Also included at Attachment B is a list of the current Eke Panuku activities in the local board area, to provide current context.

17.     These proposals were workshopped with the Governing Body on 26 March 2025 and a recording of that meeting was emailed to all local board members on 28 March and can be found here. The presentation is available here.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

18.     This section is divided into the three key activities being transferred to Auckland Council: urban regeneration, property management and economic development. It outlines where decision-making responsibility currently sits or is proposed to sit and the rationale.

Allocation of decision-making responsibility for urban regeneration (new section in allocation table)

19.     While activities that enable urban regeneration (such as planning, development streetscape improvements) are already covered in the allocation table, staff are proposing identifying urban regeneration as a stand-alone activity to enhance clarity. 

20.     Given the complexity and advanced state of council’s priority location urban regeneration programme, there is a need to minimise the risk of implementation being slowed down. Staff propose that this change is managed using the following principles:

·    delivery of approved urban regeneration programmes will continue, using current business cases and detailed budgets (approved by the Eke Panuku board)

·    the Governing Body will allocate budgets to these programmes. 

21.     The proposed allocations relate to current programmes and in part are in recognition that these must continue without issues despite the structural change. Further decisions will need to be made for new programmes that will be developed over time which cannot be accommodated prior to 1 July. This includes the governance and budget allocation of any new programmes.

Proposed additions to the allocation table

22.     The principles set out in Section 17 of the LGACA (set out at Paragraph 14 above) have been applied to existing urban regeneration activities. Table One sets out the proposed additions to the allocation table, with the reasoning for Governing Body or local board decision-making set out below. Note that the high-level wording is consistent with conventions in the existing allocation table.

Table One – Proposed additions to the allocation table for urban regeneration 

Proposed Governing Body decision-making

Proposed local board decision-making

·    Auckland-wide urban regeneration programme outcomes and objectives

·    Urban regeneration in city centre and waterfront

·    Overall funding plan for priority locations

·    Allocation of budget for priority location plans including sequencing of urban regeneration projects within annual budget envelopes 

·    Identification of priority locations for urban regeneration programme

·     Implementation of priority location plans, within parameters set by the Governing Body 

·     Local urban regeneration projects that are not part of the Auckland-wide urban regeneration programme, for example streetscape improvements or local service property optimisation projects

 

Proposed allocation to Governing Body: decision-making over urban regeneration programmes

23.     Decision-making responsibility for regional urban regeneration activities is proposed to be allocated to the Governing Body as follows:

·   Auckland-wide urban regeneration programme outcomes and objectives – the overall programme has region-wide outcomes, such as commercial and housing development. Therefore, the Section 17 principles of taking a consistent and coordinated approach across Auckland and enabling alignment with other decisions that sit with the Governing Body, are considered to be met.

·   Urban regeneration in the city centre and waterfront – these programmes are recommended to sit with the Governing Body because the scale, influence and impact of these programmes extend beyond just the Waitematā Local Board area. The success of the city centre is important for Aucklanders, New Zealanders and visitors as a regional destination.

·   Overall funding plan for priority locations – the Governing Body will allocate overall funding for the lifetime of programmes, often over 10-20 years or more.

·   Allocation of budget for priority location plans including sequencing of urban regeneration projects within annual budget envelopes - the nature of revenue and funding available for urban regeneration and the manner in which programmes progress, is based on elements such as market forces, and regulatory processes. This means that budgets cannot easily be apportioned to local boards and need to sit with the Governing Body, at least initially.

·   Identification of priority locations for urban regeneration programme – decision-making over identification of priority locations for the overall programme is proposed to sit with the Governing Body as new locations and programmes will form part of the Auckland-wide network.

Proposed allocation to local boards: decision-making over urban regeneration programmes

24.     The following activities are proposed to be allocated to local boards:

·   Implementation of priority location plans, within parameters set by the Governing Body – this will include an annual work programme specifying projects, sites and/or activities in the local board area.

·   Local urban regeneration projects that are not part of the Auckland-wide urban regeneration programme, for example streetscape improvements or local service property optimisation projects – these may be projects that a local board has identified as a local priority in its local board plan and has allocated local funding to.

Further work to be done to review urban regeneration decision-making activity

25.     In alignment with council’s direction to empower local boards to carry out their local leadership role, staff consider that it may be possible to allocate further responsibilities to local boards. However, further work is required to test this assumption.

26.     Staff propose that the current work being overseen by the Joint Governance Working Party also consider ways to give local boards a meaningful role in shaping the case for any new urban regeneration or development priority areas.

Practical application of decision-making for urban regeneration in 2025/2026

27.     Table Two outlines how the allocation of urban regeneration responsibilities would work in practice. The table also includes a column outlining the work and decisions that staff would undertake under delegation.

Allocation of decision-making responsibilities for property and asset management 

28.     Auckland Council will become responsible for Eke Panuku functions including the management of commercial properties, property transactions (sales and acquisitions) and management of significant assets like the city centre marinas.

29.     Table Three sets out the statutory decision-making responsibilities of the Governing Body, which may be delegated to local boards. This is outlined in the first section of the Decision-making responsibilities of Auckland Council’s Governing Body and local boards Policy.

Table Three – Property and marina management statutory decision-making

Governing Body statutory decision-making

Local board decision-making that is delegated from the Governing Body

·   Regulatory decisions and statutory responsibilities e.g. disposals

·    Service optimisation decisions over local service property

30.     Table Four sets out non-regulatory decisions, which can be allocated to local boards, reflected in the allocation table.

Table Four – Property and marina management non-regulatory decision-making (new text in the ‘facilities and asset management section)

Governing Body decision-making (statutory and non-regulatory activities)

Local board decision-making (non-regulatory and delegated decisions)

·   Commercial property and marina management

·   Management of the non-service property infrastructure as identified in the Infrastructure Strategy

·    Acquisition of new local community facilities (including local libraries, local sport and recreation facilities, local parks and reserves), and their specific location, design, build and fit out within budget parameters agreed with the Governing Body

Governing Body decision-making over property and asset management

31.     The Governing Body has an overarching statutory responsibility for managing the network of facilities and overall financial oversight of the council.

32.     Commercial property and marina management are allocated to the Governing Body because these properties are not delivering local council services and are an important financial contributor to council budgets. This is also the case with management of non-service property in line with the Infrastructure Strategy.

Local board decision-making over property and asset management

33.     Local boards oversee the delivery of community services (such as libraries and community services), in ‘local service properties’. The Governing Body has delegated some decision-making to local boards enabling them to oversee the disposal of local service properties and reinvest this to achieve other community outcomes. This is called service property optimisation, for example by merging two council services into one building and selling the other property. Local boards also have decision-making over the acquisition of new local community facilities including their specific location, design, build and fit out within budget parameters agreed with the Governing Body.

The Group Property Framework is intended to provide principles, guidance and recommendations which will assist in improving decision-making on council’s property portfolio   

34.     The group property framework is intended to provide an overarching guide to the management of property across the council group, based on robust principles and agreed definitions. The scope of the group property review was agreed by the Revenue and Expenditure Committee in September 2024 (link to scope).

35.     Some local boards have previously expressed concerns around a lack of information and advice on local service and non-service properties, including how property classifications are changed. The draft framework is expected to include recommendations that may address these concerns, for example:

·   clarifying whether properties are service, non-service, local and non-local to ensure that local boards are given clear advice and decision-making over optimisation opportunities

·   recommending a matrix team be established consisting of key property staff across council to present the full options to local boards for property optimisation options in their area.

Allocation of decision-making for economic development activities

36.     Economic development activities currently delivered by TAU are being transferred to Auckland Council. There are no substantive changes proposed for the decision-making responsibility for these activities, as reflected in Table Five

37.     While the allocation of decision-making is not proposed to change, council will need to make additional decisions on economic development initiatives, for example in areas such as the Auckland Innovation Network and the Te Puna creative precinct. This change is intended to increase democratic accountability.

Table Five – Economic development decision-making (no new allocations, some minor changes proposed)

Governing Body decision-making

Local board decision-making

·   Regional economic development strategy and Business Improvement District (BID) Policy

·   Auckland-wide and city centre economic development programmes and initiatives

 

·     Business improvement district (BID) programmes including establishment of new BIDs within parameters set by the BID Policy and recommending BID targeted rates to the Governing Body

·     Local economic development plans, projects and initiatives within parameters set by regional strategies, policies and plans

Business improvement district (BID) programmes

38.     In relation to the BID Programmes, the BID Policy outlines key decision-making responsibilities that sit with local boards and expressly recognises that within Auckland Council, local boards are the primary relationship lead with BID operating business associations. Other responsibilities that sit with local boards in relation to BIDs include:

·   approval of the establishment of a new BID programme and boundary area

·   approval of any changes or amendments to an existing BID programme boundary area

·   annually recommending BID programme targeted rate grant amounts to the Governing Body

·   recommending to the Governing Body proposed changes to a BID targeted rate mechanism.

39.     Local boards may provide additional support to BID-operating business associations and BID programme delivery through their local board annual work programmes and budgets. In business districts or town centres that are not part of (or not big enough to form) a BID programme, some local boards actively partner with local businesses to develop or deliver initiatives that promote local economic development.

Local economic development plans and initiatives

40.     In 2024, the reference to local economic development plans, projects and initiatives in the allocation table was removed from the allocation table after TAU funding for local economic development support ceased. The proposal to reinstate this in the allocation acknowledges that budget and resources support an activity rather than define its existence as a council function.

41.     Local boards have in the past expressed interest in receiving greater support for developing and implementing local economic development initiatives in their areas. While there is currently no additional resource for local economic development activities, it is anticipated that local boards will continue to seek staff advice on these activities, and this will need to be addressed. Note that some local boards have funded economic brokers to deliver local economic development outcomes. 

Clarifications around economic development in the allocation table

42.     Staff also propose the following minor edits to the allocation table to bring it up to date with current policies, which are shown in Attachment A:

·   removing reference to BID strategic direction in the allocation to local boards. The removal of this acknowledges that the business association is a membership based incorporated society in structure and it is the members of that society who set the strategic direction of the association and its activities.  Council can advocate for a common strategic direction between the local BID programme and local board but is not the decision maker of the BIDs strategic direction.  

·   removing reference to Auckland Economic Development Action Plan 2021-2024 and investment framework from the Governing Body’s allocation because this action plan is out of date.

·   removing reference to regional business events, and branding and marketing for the city centre, metropolitan centres and spatial priority areas as set out in the Future Development Strategy from the allocation to Governing Body because these examples aren‘t reflective of current and planned activity delivered by the economic development function.

Other amendments to the allocation table

43.     As shown in Attachment A, other changes to the allocation table are designed to enhance clarity. These include formatting changes that separate activities that have been, to date, clustered together in the allocation table e.g. separation of planning and development activities from economic development activities, creation of a facilities and asset management category/activity, incorporating the existing allocation of asset renewals and upgrade responsibilities (currently at the end of the table) into the facilities and asset management section.

44.     The changes also include new explanatory notes for new activities e.g. clarification of the purpose of the urban regeneration programme.

Climate impact statement

45.     No climate impacts have been identified as a result of the changes proposed in this report.

Council group impacts and views

46.     The transfer of urban regeneration, property management and economic development activities to Auckland Council will have a range of impacts on the Auckland Council Group. These include direct political direction to staff, improved integration of activities and outcomes and efficiency gains.

47.     While there are no new resources or budgets proposed as a result of the transfer of these activities, it is likely that demand for advice and support may increase with direct political decision-making.

48.     The Governing Body will make a decision on the proposed allocation of decision-making responsibility for the transferred Eke Panuku and TAU activities on 29 May 2025, and these will be reflected in the allocation table as part of Annual Plan 2025/2026.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views

49.     Existing urban regeneration, property management and economic development activities are coming in house from 1 July. The major change local boards will see, is where staff come to them seeking approval of urban regeneration activities, rather than support, endorsement, or for information.

50.     As noted elsewhere in this report, when existing urban regeneration programmes are completed, new programmes and activities will be considered. It is expected that local boards will have a greater role in decisions on those.

51.     Greater clarity around property management decision-making will be provided in the Group Property Framework.

52.     Local economic development remains under local board decision-making responsibility. Until additional resource and/or budget is provided advice on new local economic development activity will not be possible, unless local boards fund this themselves.

53.     Changes to decision-making may result in increased local board member workloads, which will be assessed as activities are integrated into council.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

54.     There are no specific Māori impacts identified with the proposals outlined in this report. Engagement with Māori in relation to urban regeneration, property management and economic development is expected to continue in line with current practices.

Financial implications

55.     No direct financial implications are anticipated from the reallocation of decisions to the Governing Body or local boards. Staff advice to support decision-making will continue, even if the decision-maker changes (for example some decisions made by the Eke Panuku Board will now be made by local boards).

56.     There will be financial implications if new urban regeneration or economic development programmes or projects are started. Local boards wishing to undertake new programmes or projects will need to fund them.  

57.     The financial implications of integration of urban regeneration, property management and economic development functions into council (for example the dis-establishment of Eke Panuku as an entity) are being addressed by other workstreams under in CCO Reform programme.

Risks and mitigations

58.     The proposals in this report are intended to ensure a seamless transfer of urban regeneration, property management and economic development activities into council. Any issues that arise are not anticipated to be significant and will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

59.     With activities coming in house, political scrutiny and oversight may increase and create the need to change direction. This is considered to be more likely with new programmes than with current programmes but will need to be monitored and managed. This risk is balanced against the benefits of improved democratic accountability.

60.     As outlined in this report, a number of decisions will need to be made as existing urban development programmes advance to a point where resources are freed up to develop new programmes. As part of this it is anticipated that a review of current decision-making will be undertaken to ensure particularly local boards have the right degree of decision-making over local programmes and associated budgets. Staff consider there is time to manage this change and in terms of the allocation of decision-making, any further change can be reflected in Annual Plan 2026/2027.

61.     Some local boards may advocate for additional or new urban regeneration and/or economic development programmes in their areas. This may be reflected in local board plans which new local boards will develop post-Election 2025. A process to manage that will need to be established. Some local boards may also wish to fund such programmes to support commencement and resource needs will need to be carefully considered to respond to this.

Next steps

62.     The Governing Body will make decisions on the allocation of decision-making responsibility on 29 May 2025. Local board feedback and resolutions will be reflected in the staff report. Any changes to the allocation table will be included in the Annual Plan 2025/2026, which is due to be adopted by the Governing Body on 26 June 2025.
