Approval of
concept designs for Koroī/Clayburn Reserve park development, Clayburn
Road, Glen Eden
File No.: CP2025/05319
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek approval of the concept designs for the development
of neighbourhood park facilities at Koroī / Clayburn Reserve, 55 Clayburn Road, Glen Eden and to progress the project to detailed
design and construction.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The development of Koroī / Clayburn Reserve is a key initiative
for the Waitākere Ranges Local Board. Te Kawerau ā Maki, mana whenua
of the area, gifted the name Koroī for the reserve in June 2021.
Koroī is the Māori name for the coniferous cones of Kauri, Kaikawaka
and Kawaka.
3. The
local board approved the allocation of $65,756 ABS: Capex – Local Renewal
funding, $20,025 Locally Driven Initiative (LDI) Capex and $600,817 ABS: Capex
– Growth (regional) funding for the park development project, a total of
$686,598, as a part of the 2024 – 2025 Customer and Community Facilities
work programme (resolution number WTK/2024/92).
4. The
project will deliver on the Waitākere Ranges Local Board Plan 2023
objectives ‘Our people: people from our diverse communities are connected
and feel as though they belong’, and ‘Our community: our parks and
open spaces provide opportunities for recreation and enjoyment by the
surrounding local communities, and a place for nature.
5. Staff met with Te Kawerau ā Maki in late 2023 to seek input and
guidance for the development of the preliminary concept design. Feedback
included:
· the desire for a
place for the community and neighbours to play, learn, communicate and discover
· utilising the zoo
browse orchard as an educational opportunity
· enhancing the
harakeke planting
· inclusion of wheeled
and nature play and play for all ages
· student involvement
in the design process
· screening of the
rail corridor would be crucial.
6. Visits to Glen Eden Primary saw students provide design ideas and
their aspirations in the development of the park.
7. Concept designs were developed, incorporating feedback from the mana
whenua and the Glen Eden Primary School students.
8. Two
concept designs were presented to the local board at a workshop held on 17
October 2024. The two designs differed in the position of the basketball half
court but were otherwise fundamentally the same.
9. Board
members supported the concept designs in principle, however, were concerned
that the Koroī theme wasn’t seen in the design, wanted to ensure the
interface between the reserve and rail corridor is designed to deter entry to
the KiwiRail land, asked for adequate drainage to be installed and for staff to
consider including student art on the basketball wall.
10. All feedback
gathered at the workshop has been included in this report, and the feedback
received will help to refine the detailed design.
11. Staff now seek approval for the concept designs. This will lead into
detailed design and construction.
12. Following the
approval of the proposed concept designs, the
resource consenting process for work near existing trees will begin in
parallel with the development of the detailed design. Physical works to
undertake construction of the proposed design is
expected to commence March/April 2025.
13. Progress
updates on the project will be provided to the local board as part of the
Customer and Community Services Local Board Work Programme quarterly reports.
Ngā tūtohunga
Recommendation/s
That the Waitākere Ranges
Local Board:
a) whakaae / approve the concept designs for the
development of neighourhood park facilities at Koroī / Clayburn
Reserve located at 55 Clayburn Road, Glen Eden as per attachment A of the
agenda report and request staff to progress the project to detailed design and
construction of the project.
Horopaki
Context
14. Koroī /
Clayburn Reserve (the Park) is located on Clayburn Road, close to Glen Eden
town centre and Glen Eden Railway Station. The reserve
is surrounded by housing, with many house lots under development to multiple
town houses, and is close to the multi storey apartments on the corner of
Glenview and Waikumete Roads.
Figure 1: Location plan of Koroī / Clayburn Reserve,
Glen Eden.
15. In June 2021
the name Koroī was gifted by Te Kawerau ā Maki for Clayburn Reserve.
In explanation for this gifted name, mana whenua provided the following
narrative:
Kauri, kaikawaka and kawaka are the only native conifers to produce woody
cones that split open when mature, releasing seeds into the wind. Korōi is
the Māori name for their coniferous cone. This name connects to the
historical presence of the kauri forest that used to be here. This is reflected
in the old name for the wider Glen Eden area Ōkaurirahi – 'the place
of huge kauri'.
16. The entrance to the park is on Clayburn Road and the park
is currently undeveloped. A ‘zoo browse orchard’ was established on
the site approximately ten years ago. This orchard consists of lines of
suitable vegetation which zoo staff can harvest for zoo animal feed.
17. As a part of the Waitākere Ranges Local Board’s 2022 -
2023 Customer and Community Services Work Programme, the local board approved a
project to develop the park to neighbourhood park standard, and to renew the
retaining wall at the roadside boundary.
18. A neighbourhood park provides basic informal recreation and social
opportunities within a short walk of surrounding residential areas. The park
should provide a play space, flat, unobstructed kick-around space, areas for
socialising and respite, park furniture, landscaping and specimen trees.
19. The local
board indicated that the play component of the project should include
accessible and inclusive play items to ensure the play space is suitable for
all users. This social interaction encourages more understanding and acceptance
of children with different abilities.
20. In June 2024
the Waitākere Ranges Local Board allocated the following funding to the
park development project: $65,756 of ABS: Capex – Local Renewal
funding, $20,025 of LDI – Capex funding and $600,598 of ABS: Capex
– Growth (regional) funding providing a total of $686,598, as a part of
the 2024 – 2025 Customer and Community Facilities work programme
(resolution number WTK/2024/92).
21. Two concept
designs were presented to the local board at a workshop held on 17 October
2024. An assessment of the concepts considering constraints, risks and
estimated cost was tabled and discussed.
22. Local board
members supported the design in principle but asked for the following
considerations to be given when developing the project developed design:
· the
Koroī theme should be visible in the design
· ensure
the interface between the reserve and the rail corridor is given consideration
to deter park users entering the Kiwirail managed land
· ensure
adequate drainage of the reserve
· investigate
student art being placed on the basketball wall, based on the Koroī theme
· show
the shade coverage on future plans
· consider
maintenance of the insect hotels.
23. The developed
design has incorporated the feedback received from the local board.
Link to strategic documents
24. When the
project was first approved, the park development at Koroī / Clayburn
Reserve aligned with the Waitākere Ranges Local Board Plan 2020
‘Outcome 7: We have infrastructure and facilities that support and
enhance our neighbourhoods and town centres, and the key objective: Ensure
there is sufficient open space to cater for the needs of people in intensified
housing’.
25. The project will also deliver on the objectives in the Waitākere Ranges
Local Board Plan 2023, specifically for ‘Our community – our parks
and open spaces provide opportunities for recreation and enjoyment by the
surrounding local communities, and a place for nature’.
26. Inclusion of
accessible paths and activities delivers on the Waitākere Ranges Local
Plan 2023 outcome: Our people – provide community space, services and
events that meet local needs, are accessible to everyone and bring people from
all walks of life together.
27. The
incorporation of accessibility as a part of the park development design
increases the usability of the park for all users. Accessible, inclusive, and
sensory-rich environments can instil a sense of independence and confidence in
people. An inclusive playground can also encourage friendships between
different groups of children, which promotes awareness and acceptance of
diversity.
28. The
Waitākere Ranges Play Provision Assessment 2021 recommends the following:
Clayburn Reserve - this park presents the best opportunity
to provide play in the area to the east of Waikumete Cemetery in the short to
medium term, due to its more favourable contours and lack of current
development. Provision of play within this park would additionally help to fill
the small gap identified in eastern Glen Eden in the short term. To assist with
the lack of youth play (13+) in the central Glen Eden area, features such as
courts or wheeled play should be provided in addition to a more standard
playspace for children. The local board should also consider working with
Auckland Transport to prioritise upgrades to the street corridor across the
rail line in this area to enable improved pedestrian connections and thus
better access to Clayburn Reserve.
Together with consultation feedback, this
recommendation has been considered when developing the concept design.

Analysis and advice
Consultation / Engagement
Mana Whenua engagement
29. Consultation
with Te Kawerau ā Maki began in late 2023 when the key following key
outcomes were identified:
· a
place for community and the neighbourhood to play, learn, communicate and
discover
· to
see the zoo browse planting as an education opportunity for park users
· to
enhance the harakeke planting and weaving space and determine ownership over
this area
· wheeled
play, nature play and all ages were key play items discussed
· student
involvement in the design process was advised
· screening
from the railway was crucial.
30. At a
following hui to discuss the concept design, feedback received from Te Kawerau
ā Maki provided the following suggestions:
· incorporate
the Koroī (cone) theme into the wet pour, in the interpretive panels and
on the court design
· incorporate
more te reo Māori in works, interpretation, space and wet pour
· mana
whenua would like to be involved in opening the space, possibly with the
students
· rubbish
bins – either no bin or a set of recycling bins.
31. Early
engagement with students and teachers at Glen Eden Primary school was
undertaken as a part of the concept design development. Students were asked to
consider types of play items they would use in a future playspace. Nature play,
sliding, swinging and a learn to ride facility were popular choses. Further
details about this engagement are included in attachment A.
32. Ongoing
engagement with the students is planned, with further hui prior to
construction.
Proposed concept design
33. The early
design brief was based on gaps identified in a 2021 Play Assessment for the
Waitākere Ranges Local Board area and recommended the inclusion of
opportunities for wheeled play and, if possible, courts, a standard playspace
catering for a wide age range and shade.
34. Two concept
designs were developed with the same play features but different layouts. The
concept designs include the following play features:
· a
tree house play module
· swings
· an
accessible carousel
· a
‘Twig Stack’ climbing frame
· slides
· a
‘learn to ride’ track
· a
‘Dancing Snake’
· a
basketball half court.
35. The plan also
provides a greenspace for a small kick around area, with the possible inclusion
of a multiuse goal, seating, a rubbish bin and a sensory board.
36. The proposed
playground design has been developed to ensure tamariki with different levels
of ability have play options available.
37. Shrub
planting will soften the boundary of the play space creating a natural buffer
between the park entrance and road.
38. The inclusion
of the specimen trees provides amenity, shade, and a sense of enclosure over
time. This planting will support the creation of exploration and nature play.

Clayburn Reserve Concept Plan showing the intended area for development of
Option 1.

Play activities.
39. The overall
design intent is to provide a neighbourhood sized park development including
play provision within the local area targeting 0-12 years, with functions to
make the park enjoyable for all members of the whānau.
40. The
playground concept design provides six different types of play, some play
elements sit in multiple categories.

Proposed play equipment.
Figure 5:
Proposed furniture and features.
41. The park has
a ‘zoo browse orchard’, planted lines of native vegetation suitable
for animal feed. Auckland Zoo staff are able to collect branches from the
orchard, as required. The concept designs integrate the orchard with a
permeable path and provide potential for information signage and insect hotels.
Accessibility
42. The proposed
park development and playground design have been developed to provide access
for all users and accessible play options for tamariki with different levels of
ability.
43. The
entry footpath to the park gently rises to a level site in the area of the
intended park development. A network of accessible footpaths will adjoin to wet pour safety surfacing, providing access to several play
items.
44. Several play
items selected for Koroī/Clayburn Reserve have accessible or inclusive
features. Examples of these include the carousel, basketball half court, basket
swing and lower sections of the play module.
45. A picnic
table will be positioned under a shade sail and is easily accessed from the
path network by wheelchair users.
46. Backs and arm
rests are included on seating to assist less able users to access comfortable
resting places within the play space.
Additional work
47. The retaining
wall at the road frontage boundary to the reserve will be refurbished as a part
of the project work.

Climate impact statement
48. The
council’s climate goals as set out in Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri:
Auckland’s Climate Plan are:
· to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions to reach net zero emissions by 2050
· to
prepare the region for the adverse impacts of climate change.
49. It is
anticipated that there will be an increase in carbon emission from
construction, including contractor emissions. Staff will seek to minimise
carbon and contractor emissions as much as possible when delivering the
project.
50. Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions will be
achieved through sourcing of low-carbon material options (including
sourcing materials locally) and the use of
products with environmental declarations for embodied carbon reductions.
51. The development of the park provides natural
infrastructure including new shrubberies to soften the landscape and trees to
provide some shade for areas of the play space.

Council group impacts and views
52. Council staff from within the Customer and Community Services (Parks
and Community Facilities operational management and maintenance) have had input
into the park development concept plans. They are supportive of the plans as it
will improve the quality of the park.
53. The project will deliver recreational opportunities such as a large
playground and a basketball half court in an area of Glen Eden which has a gap
in play provision. The park development will offer recreation for a wide range
of ages and abilities in the community surrounding the area.
54. Staff have
worked collaboratively with Auckland Zoo representatives to incorporate the
‘zoo browse orchard’ on the southern side of the reserve, into the
development plan.

Local impacts and local board views
55. Koroī /
Clayburn Reserve is currently undeveloped but is well placed to provide play,
recreational and social opportunities for residents in the neighbourhood
surrounding it. The design provides a safe playground that is walking distance
from neighbourhoods within the local area.
56. The following
feedback was provided on the concept designs at a workshop held with the local
board on 17 October 2024:
· the
local board indicated general support for the concept designs
· the
Koroī theme wasn’t seen in the design
· ensure
interface between the reserve and Kiwirail land is given consideration to deter
park users
· ensure
adequate drainage is installed
· support
for the basketball wall with inclusion of student art with the Koroī theme
· shade
sails are not shown on the concept plan
· concern
was raised about maintenance of the insect hotels.
57. All concerns
raised by the local board will be addressed when developing the detailed
design.
58. The project
aligns with the Waitākere Ranges Local Board Plan outcomes detailed in
Table 2 below.

Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi
and its statutory obligations and relationship commitments to Māori. These
commitments are articulated in the council’s key strategic planning
documents, the Auckland Plan, the Long-term Plan 2021-2031, the Unitary Plan
(operative in part), Whiria Te Muka Tangata Māori Responsiveness Framework
and local board plans.
60. Parks
and reserves are taonga and hold significant importance to mana whenua.
Developing a network of neighbourhood parks that provide for all ages and
abilities will positively benefit the health and wellbeing of mana whenua and
the wider community through increased recreation provision.
61. Engagement with Te Kawerau ā Maki began in late 2023 with a
site visit to the reserve. The following key directions were received
from mana whenua:
· create
a place for community / neighbourood to play, learn, communicate and discover
· the
zoo browse planting could be used as an educational opportunity for park users
· opportunity
to enhance the harakeke planting and weaving space
· include
wheel play, nature play and play for all ages were key play items discussed
· student
involvement in the design process was advised
· screening
between the rail corridor and park is crucial.
62. Engagement with mana whenua on this project has driven the
consultation process. Te Kawerau ā Maki requested
staff to work with students at Glen Eden Primary School, which is close by.
63. Staff have continued to work with Te Kawarau ā Maki to develop
the concept designs.

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. The local
board grants programme sets out:
· local
board priorities
· lower
priorities for funding
· exclusions
· grant
types, the number of grant rounds, and when these will open and close
· any
additional accountability requirements.
11. The
Waitākere Ranges Local Board adopted the Waitākere Ranges Local
Grants Programme 2024/2025 as presented in Attachment A. The document sets
application guidelines for contestable community grants submitted to the Board.
12. The community
grant programmes have been extensively advertised through the council grants
webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters, Facebook pages,
council publications, and community networks.

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
grants programme criteria. The eligibility of each application is identified in
the report recommendations.

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 for
projects that support and enable community climate action.
15. Community
climate action involves reducing or responding to climate change by local
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.
16. Examples of
projects include local food production and food waste reduction; increasing
access to single-occupancy transport options; home energy efficiency and
community renewable energy generation; local tree planting and streamside
revegetation; and educating about sustainable lifestyle choices that reduce
carbon footprints.

17. The focus of
an application is identified as arts, community, events, sport and recreation,
environment, or heritage. Based on the focus of an application, a subject
matter expert from the relevant department will provide input and advice.
18. The grants
programme has no identified impacts on council-controlled organisations and
therefore their views are not required.

Local impacts and local board views
19. Local boards
are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community
grants. The Waitākere Ranges local board is required to fund, part-fund or
decline these grant applications against the local board priorities identified
in the local board grants programme.
20. The board is
requested to note that section 50 of the Community Grants Policy states:
“We will also provide feedback to unsuccessful grant applicants about why
they have been declined, so they will know what they can do to increase their
chances of success next time”.
21. A summary of
each application received through 2024/2025 Waitākere Ranges Local Grant
Round Two is provided in Attachment B.

|
|
Summary:
|
To host a free Halloween event for the Laingholm, Titirangi,
Woodlands Park, Huia and Parau communities, friends and family. The event
will be held on trick or treating night, including a custom designed Haunted
House experience and gathering space for the community to connect. It is run
by local volunteers and supported by local businesses.
|
|
Expertise:
|
This is the 7th time we've run this event in Laingholm, it gets
bigger and better every year. Volunteers and designers have been involved
every year since the start.
The organiser (Kate Marsh) is an experienced event manager for Auckland
Council, having worked at Mt Smart Stadium for three years as Business
Manager, hosting major concert and sporting events for crowds of over 50,000
people. Kate Marsh also worked for Auckland Council for 10 years, so familiar
with the importance of building community connection and working with
volunteers to engage them in owning local activities.
As a psychologist, Kate has a passion for building people's confidence and
creating ways where people can feel supported by other local people.

Hall of Fame sign - large poster of everyone that has contributed to the
event at entranceway to venue, recognising hard work that went into it. Will
include business logos and local board logo.
Word of mouth - as so many people are involved in organising the event, and
aware that it is happening, word is already spreading around how many local
businesses are helping. The same will happen if the local board can support
it too, and there will no doubt be talk of doing it again in 2026.

Community benefits
|
|
Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
- Connection across the Laingholm, Titirangi, Woodlands Park, Parau
and Huia communities - a chance for local people to socialise and gather with
their families, for a fun-filled event.
- Builds confidence and skills amongst local people - a large team of
volunteers (approximately 40) help co-ordinate and design the Halloween
venue, including working with Laingholm Primary School to create artwork with
children. Volunteers are parents, empowered to get creative and showcase
their design skills within the community, in a safe and supported way.
- Many local businesses support the event, promoting their services and local
interest. Previous supporters include Glen Eden Playhouse Theatre, Aussie
Butcher, New World Green Bay, Te Pahu Roofing, ProAgent Titirangi, Buzz Club
- Make children feel proud - last year 90 primary school kids created artwork
to display in the Alice in Wonderland room at the venue. Older children also
acted as hosts on the day, building their confidence and making them proud.
- Encourages children with Autism and learning difficulties to experience a
friendly Halloween with dedicated spaces suited to their needs, and a special
event dedicated to sensitive and children under 5yrs.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Ranges
· People from our diverse communities are
connected and feel as though they belong
The event is about connecting our community, run by local people for
local people. A team of volunteers spend months planning and designing the
Halloween experience, including engagement with local schools to create
artwork for display and working with local
businesses to seek sponsorship and support for the event.
On the weekend of the event many volunteers and children assist in setting up
the venue (it takes 2 full days) and kids take part in hosting the event on
the day. Based on the previous six years of running this event, we expect
over 1,300 attendees, of which many
enjoy gathering and connecting at the venue for hours. It has become a
popular (and now expected) tradition within Laingholm.

Accessible to people with disabilities
|
Yes - In discussion with IHC and other disability groups, we aim to
make the event friendly to neurodiverse attendees. We usually host a special
session for them, with reduced noise, lighting and other elements to cater to
needs.
The event is at ground level with wide entranceways. It is wheelchair
accessible and hosts will be available to lead people through the venue. The
event also provides a friendly glow in the dark room at the start, aimed at
very young children or those with Autism and learning difficulties. It is not
scary and is easily accessible to the left of the entranceway so kids can
just attend that area if they want.
Upon request, we also arrange for small groups to come through the venue with
music switched off and lights on, for those that don't like noises or the
dark.
|
|
Healthy environment approach:
|
Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Encouraging active
lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes
Props and decorations are re-cycled each year, with additional props
created and added to each event for use the following year. 90% of materials
are sourced from recycling centres and op shops.
The event itself promotes families to walk around the Laingholm community for
trick or treating, over about a four-hour period.
Creating and setting up the venue takes days and a lot of sweat! The
volunteer team work tirelessly to setup decorations and props, as well as
volunteers who create individual props at home too.
|
|
|
|
Does
your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?
Large
focus on young children 16 years and under, particularly primary school. The
event is targeted to local families, all ethnicities and gender.
It also targets people with neurodiverse needs, with a special event held
during the day with no noise, lights or scares.

If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
It would be too difficult to seek further community and business
sponsorship to keep this event running. We already rely on a lot of goodwill
from local businesses. The project would not go ahead with local board
support.
Based on increasing patron numbers and higher focus on event security, the
amount of effort poured into last year's event was too difficult without
sufficient funding. I cannot hold the event again with partial funding, as it
was too stressful.
Delivering and picking up props took 16 trailer trips, which consumed one day
each side of the event. Hiring a small rental truck would alleviate a lot of
this stress and time. Volunteers had to take annual leave from work to setup
and pack down. This is not sustainable.
I would be unable to organise and host the event without sufficient funding
to do it properly.

Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
We deliver events for both tamariki, rangatahi and adults as well as
rat trap making events. They are popular because they are fun and we partner
with community groups like Pest Free Waitakere, River Care, Glen Eden Library
in delivery. 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.

· To enhance the health, wellbeing and
resilience of local communities
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

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.

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.

teach are fundamental for a life with climate change.

Project: Ark
in the Park Volunteer Support
|
|
Location:

Ark in the Park
|
|
Summary:
|
We wish to apply for $12,000 to support the heart of our project -
our volunteers. This includes volunteer events, free workshops to upskill our
volunteers and community, field equipment to ensure volunteer health and
wellbeing, and volunteer support carried out by staff.
|
|
Expertise:
|
Ark in the Park has been managing the open sanctuary in the
Waitākere Ranges Regional Park since 2002, in partnership with Auckland
Council and supported by mana whenua Te Kawerau ā Maki. We have robust
and well-tested processes and procedures in place as well as community
support to ensure the success of this project. In addition, Forest & Bird
has looked after six other national projects across the motu for a number of
years.

Environmental benefits: The Ark contributes
significantly to the conservation and native biodiversity of the Waitākere
Ranges through pest control, weed control, native species monitoring and
education/knowledge sharing. The Ark is also home to re-introduced iconic species
such as the North Island kōkako.
|
Community benefits
|
|
Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
Ark in the Park provides a fun, safe and meaningful platform for the
community to come together, learn about native flora and fauna, and to
partake in meaningful conservation efforts. It is clear to us that this
platform for connecting with your neighbours and nature is much valued by the
community through the level of participation. We have on average over 400
volunteers gifting over 9,000 hours per year baiting and trapping pest
animals, managing pest plants, attending knowledge-sharing events and
assisting with fieldwork and monitoring. We also understand from the feedback
received from our awesome volunteers that this community connection platform
is especially invaluable during difficult times, such as following the
adverse weather events in 2023 when many of our locals experienced damages to
or lost their homes. Being around their neighbours, doing meaningful work for
nature foster an enhanced sense of community and wellbeing.

Waitākere
Ranges
· Ecosystems are protected, restored and
enhanced in the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area
Located just 30 minutes west of Auckland’s CBD, Ark in the Park
has created an open sanctuary in the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park,
working since 2002 to fortify the existing habitat and return many of the
species that were once abundant in the area. With support from hundreds of
dedicated volunteers, and collaborating organisations such project partner
Auckland Council and mana whenua Te Kawerau ā Maki, the Ark project
looks after over 2,400ha of protected parkland and the native flora and fauna
which call the park home as well as supporting neighbours on private property
to join the pest control and increase the protection afforded to the heart of
the Ark. Some of the most notable residents of the Ark site include North
Island robins toutouwai, kōkako, pepeketua (Hochstetter’s frog)
and pekapeka tou roa/long-tailed bat which excitingly the Ark team has
recently found a new roost site of above a public walking
track.

stakeholder for our project planning and implementation, and we work closely
together.
Mana whenua representatives (Edward and Robin) have a standing invite to
Management Committee meetings and are invited to contribute to annual work
plans.
Our Matariki community event in particular focuses on mātauranga and reo
Māori, with guest speakers at previous events including Riki Bennet and
Jocelin Friend sharing local te Ao Māori knowledge and skills with
taonga puoro.
|
|
Accessible to people with disabilities
|
Yes - While the field work may be prohibitive for people with
physical limitations, the community events for which we are applying for
funding are open and accessible to people of all levels of ableness. In
addition, we have conservation activities that can accommodate different
levels of ableness, such as participating in community knowledge sharing
events.
|
|
Healthy environment approach:
|
Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Encouraging active
lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes
Based on our data, our volunteers spend 70% of their time with us
checking, resetting, and rebaiting trap and baiting stations. To do this, our
volunteers travel on foot through the project site through sometimes
challenging terrains. These conservation activities not only provide an
excellent opportunity to immerse in the beautiful sceneries of the
Waitākere Ranges, they also help improve the fitness level of our
volunteers and promote the incorporation of physical activity into our
community’s life.

Requesting grant for:
|
The volunteer support activities we are seeking your support for is
part of the larger Ark project. We would be grateful for a grant towards
volunteer activities such as food and venue costs of volunteer events,
volunteer field gear and a small contribution towards staff time spent
supporting our volunteers.
|
|
If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
Instead of amending the project plan, we will try seeking further
funding from elsewhere, for example from other grant makers or donors,
corporates etc.
This volunteer support project is part of the larger Ark in the Park project.
While Forest & Bird is not particularly setting aside any funding for
this volunteer support project, we will meet any operational costs for the
Ark that cannot be met by grants or donations.

The Huia Settlers Museum is an important source of information and
our collection of artefacts ensures we preserve the history of Huia and the
surrounding Waitakere areas for the future. As a museum, all
communities and all ethnicities will benefit. There is a need to ensure that
the growth of this area, from Maori influence, to the early pioneering days,
up until the present, is recorded for future generations.

as regional significance in its collection. We are the ONLY museum in the
Auckland West area and play a critical role in preserving our history. The
museum is a point of reference for schools and many other groups throughout
the greater Auckland area and beyond, including International visitors.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

|

The community benefits of this ANZAC Day service are significant.
First, the event provides an opportunity for the community to come together
in a shared expression of respect, gratitude, and remembrance, which
strengthens community cohesion and pride. The service also helps to preserve
and pass on important aspects of local and national history, ensuring that
future generations remain connected to the sacrifices made by those who
served in wartime.
Furthermore, the event promotes inclusivity by welcoming people from all
cultural backgrounds to participate in a meaningful, national observance. It
offers a space where diverse communities can learn about and reflect on the
shared values of courage, sacrifice, and service that resonate across
cultures.
Additionally, the ANZAC Day service contributes to the local economy by
attracting attendees, some of whom may travel from outside the area. This can
result in increased foot traffic for local businesses, contributing to the
local economy.
Lastly, hosting this service ensures that our veterans are honored,
reinforcing a sense of dignity and respect within the community. It also
provides an opportunity for younger generations to connect with veterans,
fostering intergenerational understanding and respect

· People from our diverse communities are
connected and feel as though they belong
The ANZAC Day service is an inclusive event that welcomes people from
all walks of life and diverse backgrounds, reflecting the multicultural
fabric of our community. By honoring the sacrifices of our veterans, we
create a space for everyone—regardless of cultural heritage—to
reflect on the shared values of courage, sacrifice, and service. The event
provides a meaningful opportunity for newcomers and long-time residents alike
to connect with one another, fostering a sense of belonging and collective
identity. Through this service, we aim to promote unity and ensure that all
members of our community, including those from different cultural or ethnic
backgrounds, feel respected and included in this important national
commemoration

If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
If only part of the project can be funded, we would adjust the plan
to ensure the core elements of the ANZAC Day service are maintained. We would
prioritize the key components such as the service itself, including the
attendance of veterans and the provision of essential equipment (sound
systems, seating, etc.). To reduce costs, we could explore in-kind
contributions from local businesses

Summary:

The vision of this role is for to act with and for rangatahi
Māori in the Waitākere Ranges Local Board rohē. This role
would be primarily working with schools to elevate the mana of rangatahi in
the area.
|
|
Expertise:
|
Our organisation has a strong background in successfully running
similar projects to this. We have previously had activators in roles in
Kelston, Te Atatū and Henderson that have all had success in elevating
the mana of rangatahi through positive movement.

Identified community outcomes:

|
|
This kaupapa offers numerous community benefits by promoting holistic
health and wellbeing. Firstly, with the role being centred in bilingual units
it strengthens cultural identity and pride among young people, giving a sense
of belonging and continuity within the community. This cultural connection
helps preserve Māori traditions and knowledge, ensuring they are passed
down to future generations.
By emphasising closer connectedness, this kaupapa will build stronger social
networks and encourages collective responsibility for health. This can lead
to improved mental health outcomes and reduced social isolation, as
individuals feel more connected and supported.
With Māori having high statistical disparity in most chronic illness
metrics, we believe this kaupapa is the beginning of an important
intervention for the tamariki of Glen Eden.

Alignment with local board priorities:

· To enhance the health, wellbeing and
resilience of local communities
A Māori activator role would be to support tamariki and
rangatahi Māori to increase health and wellbeing by integrating
traditional Māori values and practices with modern health approaches.
This holistic approach, known as hauora.
The framework of Te Whare Tapa Whā would be the centre of the activators
practice. The sessions would encompass physical, mental, emotional, and
spiritual health. By promoting a strong sense of identity and connection to
their culture, young people can build resilience and self-esteem.

group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering
Māori activators often use whānau (family) and community
support to create a nurturing environment, emphasising the importance of
collective wellbeing. They encourage practices such as karakia (prayers),
waiata (songs), and rongoā (traditional healing), which promote mental
and emotional balance.
Additionally, they advocate for healthy lifestyles, including nutritious
diets and regular physical activity, while addressing social determinants of
health like education and housing. By empowering young people with knowledge
and skills, Māori activators help them make informed choices that lead
to long-term wellbeing.
Overall, the support from a Māori activator is about creating a
balanced, culturally rich foundation for young people to thrive in all
aspects of their lives

Alignment with local board priorities:

|
Waitākere
Ranges
· A network of vibrant arts and culture
organisations, facilities and events that enliven the west
Atamira Dance Company is proud to be based at Corban's Estate Arts
Centre in Waitākere. This year, we are excited to collaborate with Te
Pou Theatre for their annual Kōanga Festival. Kōanga, or Spring,
marks a time when te taiao (the natural world) awakens with new growth and
vitality. The Kōanga Festival celebrates this renewal by cultivating
fresh ideas and sharing the abundance of new narratives through Māori
performing arts.
In alignment with the spirit of Kōanga, Atamira is facilitating a 10 day
new works development which invites a selected choreographer and their
collaborators to imagine, dream, and create —developing a new work.
This will culminate in a public showing at the Kōanga Festival where the
live dance work will be shared with the Festival audience who will be
primarily young families and their Tamariki!
Now in its 10th year, the Kōanga Festival has been a successful platform
for showcasing Māori theatre. This year, we are expanding its scope by
introducing contemporary Māori dance to the program, broadening its
reach and engaging new audiences. We are particularly excited to bring this
opportunity to our local West Auckland community, where we are based, and to
share the transformative power of movement, dance, and storytelling through
the tinana (body).

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
Atamira presenting a new live work at Kōanga Festival achieves
key Māori-led outcomes as Atamira Dance Company is a Māori-led
organisation. Māori involvement is integral to its design and concept,
with a Māori choreographer leading the creative development. Atamira
incorporates te ao Māori, tikanga Māori, and mātauranga
Māori in all that we do. Māori participation is a priority, with a
focus on supporting Māori dancers and artists; all our dancers and
choreographers are Māori. Kōanga Festival is a platform for
Māori performing arts, nurturing talent, fostering community engagement,
and contributing to the ongoing vitality of Māori storytelling. Te Pou
Theatre and the Kōanga Festival also have a strong Māori following
and community, who will bring a Māori audience.

Healthy environment approach:
|
Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness
programmes
Atamira is renowned for its storytelling through physical movement.
By showcasing our dance and narratives, we actively contribute to promoting
well-being. Atamira’s mission underscores the importance of Hauora, the
collective responsibility for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual
well-being, alongside Kaitiakitanga, the stewardship of the Māori dance
ecosystem and the broader environment.
With a strong commitment to Mana Whenua, Atamira honors its deep connection
to the land and the living natural world, ensuring that all participants
experience a performance rooted in respect for nature, culture, and
community. Together, these efforts ensure that the Kōanga Festival
remains a vibrant, healthy, and sustainable celebration for all.
The Kōanga Festival champions sustainable practices and well-being,
ensuring the festival environment supports the health of every participant.
Waste minimisation is prioritised, with a focus on zero-waste practices
throughout the event. Additionally, healthy food and drink options—water
as the first choice—are provided to promote the wellness of all
attendees.

|

Does
your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?
Atamira
Dance Company specifically supports Māori dancers and choreographers,
prioritising Māori talent in its creative process. However, the free
public show are open to all genders, ages, and ethnicities, encouraging broad
participation and engagement. While the Kōanga Festival has a strong focus
on supporting Māori communities by reflecting Māori history, people,
and stories, it is not exclusive to Māori. The festival welcomes everyone
to experience and appreciate Toi Māori, fostering inclusivity and
cross-cultural understanding. This approach ensures that our mahi is accessible
to all, while still celebrating and uplifting Māori voices and narratives.

Project: Historic
wine label mural, Swanson.
|
|
Location:
|
720 Swanson Road, Swanson, Auckland 0612
|
|
Summary:
|
Challenge Swanson is a service station on Swanson Road, it’s
West wall is dull, dirty and in need of some inspiring imagery – so
what better, and relevant imagery than a lively historical ‘Wine labels
of the West’ mural adorning it.
There is plenty of foot and vehicle traffic passing by this location into the
city, or to the Swanson railway station.
There will be plenty of opportunity for the locals to interact with the very
sociable artists from A Supported Life while they are painting the mural.
This proposed mural will be similar, yet modified and added to, as the wine
label mural completed recently in Glen Mall, Glen Eden.
|
|
Expertise:
|
I have worked with the artists from A Supported Life on many
successful public projects, to list a few – the Inanga Pou sculptures
in the Chilcott Brae alongside the Waikumete Stream in Henderson, the Panuku
supported ‘Picasso would be Envious’ Auckland city waterfront
mural painted live during the America’s cup, the abstract tool mural
beside the now defunct Menzshed on Railside Ave, Henderson, Pah Homestead and
Lopdell house exhibitions of the artists paintings and sculptures, sculpture
exhibition which was exhibited at the Hastings Public Art Gallery. If you
head to my website www.annacrichton.com you will see all of these projects
documented under ‘NEWS’.

Community benefits
|
|
Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
The Swanson township will be seen to be a more creative environment,
as there is very little in the immediate environment to suggest that there is
much innovation or creative thinking. The historical vintner content of the
mural will have people realising that the ground they are familiar with has a
rich pioneer grape growing and wine making history, with West Auckland being
the first place in New Zealand to make wine. The labels are all historical
and the contents of their bottles are now no longer made.
|
|
Alignment with local board priorities:
|
|
|
Waitākere
Ranges
· To enhance the health, wellbeing and
resilience of local communities
The location of the proposed mural will enhance the daily lives of
the Swanson train commuters. And with a short description on the wall, of the
artists involved in the painting of the work, the public will enjoy the
knowledge that these adults with disabilities have talents that are not often
seen. We will encourage the public to engage with the painters, and the
artists are likely to invite the public to waltz to our non-stop music with
them.

priority of fostering a network of vibrant arts and culture organisations,
facilities, and events that enliven the west.
By creating a valuable, and inclusive community-driven event that celebrates
local Māori culture through music, performance, and storytelling, we

compostable food packaging and provide recycling stations.
- Encourage active lifestyles - We will encourage audience participation by
inviting attendees (including tamariki and rangatahi) to join in simple haka
movements and waiata actions, fostering an active experience. We can
introduce a Matariki movement session, such as a guided Māori-inspired
dance or movement workshop, promoting physical activity through cultural
storytelling.
This could include poi demonstrations and interactive performances where
attendees can engage in rhythmic movement and hand-eye coordination
exercises.
- Healthy food & drink options - Prioritize vendors offering nutritious
food and make water the default beverage choice.
- Reduce carbon emissions & increase community resilience - Support local
food production, encourage active transport options (e.g., biking, walking),
and promote sustainability through tree planting and waste reduction
education.
We will ensure our Emcee incorporates all of the above into his speeches
throughout the day.

Does
your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?
The
Titirangi Matariki Festival is an inclusive event that welcomes and supports
all genders, ages, and ethnicities. The core aim is to make Māori culture
accessible to everyone, ensuring that people of all backgrounds feel encouraged
to learn, participate, and celebrate together.
While the event is open to all, we place a strong emphasis on supporting
tamariki and rangatahi by giving them confidence to embrace Māori culture,
regardless of their heritage. Through school involvement, such as Swanson School’s
participation, we create opportunities for young people to learn waiata, haka,
and tikanga in a way that empowers them to carry Māori traditions forward.
The festival will also provide a platform for Māori artists, musicians,
and food vendors, supporting Māori-led businesses and creatives while
ensuring cultural authenticity.
By fostering a welcoming environment where people of all ages, genders, and
ethnicities can connect with Māori culture, this event will play a vital
role in strengthening cultural understanding and unity across Tāmaki
Makaurau.

We are requesting funding to support the Titirangi Matariki Rooftop
Celebrations on June 20th, a community event focused on Māori culture,
music, and education. Funding will help cover performer fees (musicians, kapa
haka groups, emcee/cultural guide), stage and sound setup, marketing, and
event logistics. This event aims to bring the community together to celebrate
Matariki in an inclusive way, fostering cultural connection and awareness. As
a free, community-driven event, funding is essential to ensure we can fairly
compensate artists and provide a high-quality experience for attendees.
|
|
If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
We may introduce ticketing and charge entry for the event.
Additionally, we might reconsider having a stage or a sound technician. We
may also request further discounts from collaborators to help make this event
possible.
|
|
Cost of participation:
|
We are hoping that with the support of funding, we can offer the
Titirangi Matariki Rooftop Celebrations as a free event for the community,
ensuring that everyone can participate without any cost. As such, there will
be no ticket sales for this event. The goal is to make the celebration
accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances, and provide an
inclusive space for people to enjoy Māori culture and festivities.

|
|
Summary:
|
We are asking for grant funds to purchase replacement traps and
supplies to replenish traps which will allow us to continue our pest control
program across Cornwallis Peninsula, Mill Bay, Kaitarakihi and the Kakamatua
Inlet. We are trapping rats, stoats and possums primarily. All our trapping
activities are done by volunteers.
|
|
Expertise:
|
SCOW/the Cornwallis Petrelheads have been running this program for 9
years, led by the same community project coordinator. There is a strong group
of volunteer trappers who have worked with Council in the past and who've
been working on this project for a number of years, including university
academics who do this pest control work in their own time. We regularly
interact with university researchers and Council staff on the methods we're
using in our pest control activities. SCOW has existed since the 1990's when
it raised funds to rebuild Cornwallis Wharf. It is run by a volunteer
committee elected by the community who have managed this pest control work
and grants since its inception.

Environmental benefits: As stated
previously, reducing pests is increasing the bird life, including the
grey-faced petrels, reef herons and other fauna, and is improving the condition
and diversity of native bush.
|
Community benefits
|
|
Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
Reducing pests enhances the natural environment and that leads to
enhanced enjoyment of native birds, flora and fauna by residents and the many
visitors to the area. It also benefits the wider Auckland environment and
residents. Volunteers involved in the trapping program have an increased
sense of connection to their community. The whole community in the area has
an increased sense of pride in their community because the natural
environment is flourishing, in part because of their efforts.

Waitākere
Ranges
· Ecosystems are protected, restored and
enhanced in the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area
Our trapping is reducing the number of pests attacking our birds,
native bush and other native fauna. In particular by reducing and hopefully
eventually eliminating pests we are allowing the colony of grey-faced petrels
and other endangered birds such as the reef heron which have nests on Puponga
to survive and expand. Our overall goal is a pest-free peninsula and
environs, including an expanding petrel colony, an enhanced natural
environment where the native bush, other translocated birds and native fauna and
flora flourish for the benefit of the over four hundred thousand people who
visit Cornwallis every year, as well as the benefit of greater Auckland and
all its residents.

Summary:

Te Wahi Ora is seeking funding to support a special Matariki weekend
for wāhine Māori, providing a space for rest, reflection, and
cultural celebration. Chris Sapwell and the Wāhine from The Aunties will
guide the event, which will focus on connection and well-being.
Funding will help cover essential costs, including accommodation, facilitator
fees, and childcare expenses, ensuring that all women, regardless of
financial circumstances, can fully participate. We feel that including
support for childcare in our budget is essential at this level of Domestic
Violence to allow the wāhine attending to afford the minder. Support for
this initiative will bring wāhine together, share in the traditions of
Matariki, and enjoy nourishing hāngī meals each day prepared by Te
Piha Kai.

Expertise:
|
The Aunties are well known for their work with wāhine Māori
who have or are experiencing Domestic Abuse. Chris Sapwell is Māori from
Whangarei, Trustee with Te Wahi Ora, has many years of experience as a Nurse,
and now works with wāhine at AUT. Te Wahi Ora has hosted similar
weekends with the assistance of artist, Tracey Tawheo; and healer Joanna
Hakaria. Feedback from previous attendees highlighted their effectiveness,
especially around boosting self-worth, regaining courage, and gaining
insights as to why they were trapped in such a Domestic scene for so
long. Bev Holt is a trained cousellor and youth worker with 50
years of experience working with wāhine Māori and domestic abuse
situations.

Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
A Matariki Celebration at Te Wahi Ora provides significant community
benefits among wāhine Māori.
1. Cultural Revitalisation
– This event strengthens Māori traditions with a dedicated space
for wāhine to celebrate Matariki and engage in cultural practices like
shared storytelling, haka, and hāngī meals.
2. Mental and Emotional
Well-being – The retreat offers women a chance to rest and heal in a
safe environment. Funded childcare ensures accessibility for mothers who may
otherwise struggle to participate.
3. Strengthening
Whanaungatanga – Bringing women together fosters deep connections,
encouraging mutual support, mentorship, and the sharing of wisdom across
generations. Te Wahi Ora keeps in touch with our guests, and after the
comfort of attending with other wāhine Māori, they will have
greater confidence to access time out in the future when mental health issues
and trauma become overwhelming.
4. Empowerment and Leadership
Development – Guided sessions with facilitators like Chris Sapwell
provide inspiration and practical tools that help participants grow.
5. Economic and Social
Inclusion – Financial barriers will not prevent women from attending,
promoting inclusivity and equal access to well-being opportunities.
Overall, this project nurtures a strong, connected, and resilient community,
with lasting benefits for both individuals and their wider whānau.

wāhine of The Aunties, participants will gain deeper insights into
Māori heritage, values, and traditions, strengthening their cultural
identity.
3. Incorporation of
Traditional Practices – The inclusion of shared kai, specifically
Hāngi meals provided by Taraipene of Te Piha Kai, ensures that
Māori food traditions are honoured and experienced as part of the
gathering.
4. Strengthening Whānau
and Community Connections – By bringing wāhine Māori together
in a culturally enriching environment, the event fosters a sense of

representation or Māori staff delivering
Our Matariki weekend retreat is a Māori-led initiative developed
in response to requests from wāhine Māori seeking rest, reflection,
and cultural connection. Guided by Chris Sapwell and wāhine from The
Aunties, the event is co-designed with Māori facilitators to ensure it
aligns with kaupapa Māori principles.
The retreat incorporates tikanga Māori, including whakawhanaungatanga,
karakia, and mātauranga sharing. Traditional practices such as
Hāngi meals, haka, and storytelling further strengthen the connection to
Māori heritage.
With Māori wāhine as the priority group and Māori facilitators
leading the programme, this event fosters cultural identity, well-being, and
community resilience in a safe and supportive environment.

Accessible to people with disabilities
|
Yes - Te Wahi Ora is wheelchair accessible and has handrails for
those who need it. We can and have accommodated women with a range of
learning disabilities and mental health conditions. We do not discriminate
against any woman wanting to stay with us and make as many accommodations as
we can.
|
|
Healthy environment approach:
|
Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first
choice
Te Wahi Ora Charitable Trust promotes healthy food and drink options
by focusing on high-quality, home-cooked meals made with fresh, nutritious
ingredients. Meals are carefully prepared to support guests’
well-being, using organic produce from our vegetable garden whenever
possible. Founder Bev Holt, as counsellor, will use casual conversations with
individuals to explore the WHY and possible Alternatives regarding all
health outcomes named.
We intentionally create a shared dining experience, fostering connection and
emotional nourishment alongside physical health. Meals are designed to be
balanced and wholesome, avoiding excess sugar and processed foods while
incorporating a variety of vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
Special dietary needs are accommodated, ensuring that all women can enjoy
meals that meet their personal health requirements. Herbal teas and fresh,
natural beverages are encouraged as alternatives to sugary drinks. By
promoting mindful eating and the importance of good nutrition, we help guests
develop healthier habits that they can carry forward into their daily lives.
During our Matariki Celebration we will be upholding these values around food
and maintaining the same food practices in place for all of our guests.

If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
If only part of our project is funded, we would prioritise essential
costs to ensure the Matariki Celebration can still take place in a meaningful
way. Here’s how we would adjust our project plan:
1. Prioritising Accommodation
& Facilitation – Ensuring wāhine have a space to gather is our
top priority. We would focus on securing accommodation for as many
participants as possible and covering key facilitation costs. We may have to
ask facilitators if they would accept a lower rate or explore volunteer facilitation
options.
2. Scaling Down Participation
Numbers – If necessary, we could reduce the number of attendees to
lower accommodation costs while still maintaining the retreat’s
purpose.
3. Seeking Additional Funding
or In-Kind Support – We would explore alternative funding sources,
sponsorships, and community donations to help cover remaining costs,
particularly for childcare and meals.
4. Adjusting Meal Plans
– While the hāngī meals are an important cultural component,
we could modify the catering plan by supplementing it with other
cost-effective meal options if needed.
5. Modifying Childcare
Support – If full childcare funding is unavailable, we could reduce or
remove this portion of the offering.
By making these adjustments, we would ensure that the essence of the
event—cultural connection, reflection, and well-being—is
preserved while working within the available budget.

Project: Campaign
to reduce population of cats not desexed in community
|
|
Location:
|
Waitakere Ranges
|
|
Summary:
|
Our project aims to improve the lives and humanely reduce populations
of stray cats in the Waitakere Ranges area. This involves humanely
trapping 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 and, if well, they are
desexed and returned to where they are being fed, with unwell cats being
treated before being returned, however some cats need euthanasia due to welfare
concerns. Our project aims mitigate the impact these events are having
on the 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.
|
|
Alignment with local board priorities:
|
|
|
Waitākere
Ranges
· Ecosystems are protected, restored and
enhanced in the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area
Our projects helps strengthen whanau and tamaraki well-being through
the work that our volunteers do in protecting stray/abandoned cats in our
community, as well as protecting local wildlife, and through those whanau who
look after rescued cats in their care.
Our volunteers help to reduce the stray/unwanted cat population: cats who are
not re-homed are returned to their cat colony in the community where they
were trapped and ongoing feeding organised–these cats will reduce in
number due to natural attrition over the next few years, resulting in a
reduction in the stray/unwanted cat population from growing more out of
control than it already is.
This in turn 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.
We are also planning to work Kainga Ora with any cats on properties that have
been abandoned where tenants have moved and left cats behind.

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.

If part funded, how would you make up the

We will continue the project, however unfortunately may be unable to
rescue as many cats and kittens and less community
members which will likely have a negative impact as more kittens will be born
so the population will continue to rise.

|
|
Summary:
|
We are seeking funding to support a safety improvement project for
our outdoor play area so it complies with safety standards after a Playsafe
Audit. The part of the safety improvement project that we are seeking Local

Community benefits
|
|
Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
Our Playcentre provides an outdoor space where tamariki can build
confidence and explore various play areas. Our outdoor play area is used by
members of the public when they are attending Titirangi Market as an area to
eat kai and let their children have some play time. It is a space for our
community to connect and improve their wellbeing. The school holiday
programme run at Titirangi Community House also uses our outdoor play areas
during the school holidays.
In 2023 a Playsafe Audit was completed on our outdoor play areas. This
identified several fixes that are needed to ensure the play area meets the
requirements of an ECE and is safe. Our members have resolved a number of the
identified issues during working bees etc. We are at the stage where we need
a professional playground supplier to resolve the rest of the identified
issues.
This project will ensure the outdoor area of our Playcentre meets playground
requirements and minimises risks for everyone that uses it.
Specific community benefits: Improved safety of playground including fall
protection
Place of play for tamariki. There are limited playgrounds in the village area
and vicinity.
|
|
Alignment with local board priorities:
|
|
|
Waitākere
Ranges
· To enhance the health, wellbeing and resilience
of local communities
Our Playcentre provides a space for not only our members to come
together, but also the wider community.
We open our outdoor play area for the monthly Titirangi Markets and the
Titirangi Community House School holiday programme.
As a multigenerational Playcentre, our members and their wider whānau
support each other in the shared interest of providing a nourishing and
engaging ECE environment, creating lifelong learners in the tamariki who
attend.
Our project provides important safety improvements to our outdoor play area.
This improves the space and makes it safer for everyone that uses it.
|
|
Collaborating organisation/individual
|
Role
|
|
As our outdoor area is used by community stakeholders - Titirangi
Market and Titirangi Community House, we will coordinate with them to ensure
there is minimal disruption to their use of the space while the work is
carried out.

Healthy environment approach:
|
Promote smoke-free messages, Encouraging active lifestyles including
movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions
or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*
Our Playcentre grounds are smoke and vape free areas - we have signs
indicating this.
The improvement work will be delivered with minimal waste, we have been
discussing this with Park Supplies and Playgrounds. As a centre we recycle,
compost and have a worm farm and try to create as least waste as possible.
The improved safety of our outdoor play area will encourage active movement
and promote physical confidence among the tamariki that play there.
We have worked with Park Supplies and Playgrounds to develop an approach to
resolving the issues with minimal impact on the environment. Originally, they
planned to move one of our planters and dig 30cm into the ground, potentially
damaging the roots of the surrounding trees. We have worked with them to
provide a solution that avoids this as we were concerned about the potential
environmental impact. The solution includes less digging and planting of
native tussock grasses as soft fall cover around the slide fort.

Does

Yes.
Our project benefits Tamariki enrolled at Playcentre ages 0-6yrs, Primary
school aged children from the school holiday Programme and the wider community

(including workshops) between June-Dec 2025. Each individually designed in
partnership with our alumni artists and educators to provide opportunities
for our local community to engage and learn with our artists and art. Where
possible, we intend to collaborate with a local organization, such as
Titirangi Community House and/or Lopdell House to deliver these events which
will contribute to the cultural vitality of the Waitākere region, providing
a space for social connection, and to learn about art and collective
craft-making.
|
|
Expertise:
|
We have a proven track record of delivering public arts events,
including artist workshops, open studios, artist talks, exhibitions. Our
events are intentionally designed for small groups to ensure a deeper
engagement. We believe that having artists lead these events provides a more
meaningful experience for the participants. Recently, we delivered three open
studio days, an artist workshop for students, a workshop for the pubic with
our alumni - in association with Auckland Heritage Week and a conversational
event with our alumni, held in collaboration with the Auckland Art
Gallery. We have experience designing and delivering activity in
partnership with arts organisations based in Auckland CBD and offshore, and
see this as an opportunity to strengthen our local networks.

The revitalised area will include:
• A
meditation and yoga space for relaxation and mindfulness.
• Outdoor
exercise equipment designed for gentle cardio and strength training, suitable
for all ages.
• A
restored garden environment to encourage social connection and community
engagement.

We have maintained the community hall for many years and have
held regular working bees in which volunteers come together to work on the
garden area around the community hall. Several members of the WRRA committee
have extensive project management experience

How We Will Amend the Project if Not Fully Funded
If we do not receive full funding, we will prioritise key elements of the
project to ensure the greatest impact within the available budget. Our
approach will include:
1. Phased
Implementation
• We
will complete the project in stages, focusing first on essential
infrastructure, such as a designated exercise area and basic seating, and
then adding enhancements (e.g., additional equipment, landscaping) as further
funding becomes available.
2. Community
& Volunteer Support
• We
will engage local volunteers and community groups to assist with garden
restoration, planting, and minor installations, reducing costs while
maintaining the vision of the project.
3. Alternative
Funding Sources
• We
will explore additional grant opportunities, sponsorships, and fundraising
events to secure extra resources.
By adjusting scope and leveraging community support, we will ensure the
project remains viable, sustainable, and beneficial even with partial
funding.

Through this application, we are seeking the support of The Waitakere
Ranges Local Board for our West Auckland office, which provides specialised
social services for men and children. Based in Henderson, our team offers
one-on-one assistance, peer support groups, and training to help fathers
navigate separation and co-parenting. We also facilitate access to mental

dads have the guidance and resources they need to foster strong, positive
relationships with their children.

Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
By helping dads navigate separation and maintain strong connections
with their children, we not only improve their well-being but also protect
children from the emotional distress of prolonged parental separation. This
stability fosters emotional security, strengthens family bonds, and reduces
the risk of long-term psychological harm, contributing to healthier outcomes
for both fathers and their children.
Our work has a larger footprint by positively impacting the wider community.
By improving father-child relationships and fostering healthier co-parenting
dynamics, we reduce the potential for family conflict and family violence,
creating safer environments for all involved.

· To enhance the health, wellbeing and
resilience of local communities
Our project aims to achieve improved mental health, well-being, and
family stability for fathers in West Auckland, particularly those navigating
the challenges of separation and parenting. By addressing issues such as
parenting orders, family group conferences, and supervised contact, as well
as providing emotional support through a listening ear, we seek to reduce the
risk of serious outcomes like self-harm and promote positive fatherhood.
The project will benefit fathers across all of West Auckland, with a focus on
those affected by domestic crises, relationship breakdowns, and difficulties
accessing support. We aim to provide better access to mental health care,
parenting education, and wrap-around services such as counselling, peer
support, and mentoring. Through these efforts, we aim to foster healthier
families and a stronger sense of community in the region.

tikanga Māori, helping whānau navigate the Family Court process,
access legal support, and connect with essential services. We actively engage
in iwi-led initiatives and attend hui to strengthen relationships and improve
outcomes for Māori whānau.
Our service delivery model incorporates Te Ao Māori principles, such as
Manaakitanga, Rangatiratanga, Whanaungatanga, and Kaitiakitanga, to support
dads and their whānau. Through these principles, we honor Te Tiriti o
Waitangi by fostering partnership, protection, and participation in all
aspects of our work.

The project will happen online at www.goingwestfest.co.nz, produced
from 702/6 Waikumete Rd, Glen Eden, 0602

|
Summary:
|
Going West archive activation podcasts: a series of podcasts with
photos on goingwestfest.co.nz. We’re collaborating with Auckland
Libraries to properly archive the collection of outputs (audio, photographic,
ephemera, business records) at Waitākere Central Library, Henderson.
Once this is complete on Kura, it’s important that we promote it with
an engaging public programme that will bring it to people’s awareness
and provide a compelling first hand experience of this rich cultural taonga.
The programme is still TBC, but may include performance gems by the likes of
Blerta, Polynesian Panthers, Graham Brazier, Harry Lyons, Hinemoana Baker,
Fiona Kidman, Karyn Hay, Michael King and many more. Our podcasts will
complement and dovetail with a programme of live, on-site events at Shadbolt
House.
|
|
Expertise:
|
This will be Going West’s fifth season of podcasts. Over the
previous 4 seasons we have released 47 episodes. The same core team that
curated, compiled and released all of those episodes will do the same on this
one. That includes James Littlewood (director, host), Melissa Laing
(technical director), Mark Easterbrook (copywriter) and Marigold Janezic
(Graphic designer). We have developed a good grasp of the production
workflow, both as a whole and our own roles.
Going West has also developed a good reputation with the literary and media
sectors with these podcasts, so that content sharing arrangements with RNZ
and The Spinoff have resulted in these items having now reached an
accumulated audience of well over a hundred thousand.

We will acknowledge WRLB with logo display online and in the spoken
intro/outro by producer and host James Littlewood. His introduction will
include language along the lines of …
“This podcast is made possible with crucial support from the
Waitākere Ranges Local Board. The Waitākere Ranges area is a
diverse region of rich forest and wild coast combined with urban areas of
vibrant culture, recreation and business. Going West is profoundly westy in
both our makeup and our kaupapa. Like our local board, we value active
lifestyles fueled by healthy food and drink, both of which are available in
quantity and quality in town centres like Titirangi and Glen Eden/New
Lynn/Kelston/Piha/Huia (revolve 2 per episode).”
|

|
|
|
|
Conflicts of interest: One member of the board
of the Going West board of trustees is also a contractor whose quote is
attached to this application. At $1,200 + GST it is the least expensive of all
our contracts.
Going West keeps a very close watch on the number of trustees who are also
contractors. We have had personal correspondence with the Charities Commission
and both they and we are satisfied that our practice here is sound and not
conflicted. The Charities Commission specified that a reasonable portion of the
board should not be contracted at any one time, and that all contracts should
be worth no more than fair market value. Going West always ensures that we meet
these conditions.

Community benefits
|
|
Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
Going West podcasts will support “our distinctive and diverse
communities” to “become thriving, resilient and adaptable”
and support the outcome that “people are connected, gain a sense of
belonging and working together to support wellbeing” by shining a light
on west Auckland as a place that both nurtures and welcomes great
storytellers.
The podcasts will support this kaupapa by
- Distributing and promoting great literary content
- Emphasising west Auckland writers and stories
- Balancing established and emerging storytellers in our programme
- Employing solely west Auckland contractors, 50% of whom are in the WRLB
area
- Promoting west Auckland Libraries as places of accessible cultural
taonga
- Enhancing west Auckland’s creative brand reputation
- Activating the preserved voices of Aotearoa cultural practitioners in a
west Auckland context
- Sharing the content with Auckland Libraries to host on their Soundcloud
platform
- Sharing the content with other media outlets such as RNZ and The Spinoff to
help it reach a wider audience beyond our west Auckland core
The podcasts will dovetail with Going West’s salon events at Shadbolt
House. For every podcast episode that gets released each week, Going West
will host a live, in-person panel discussion.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Waitākere
Ranges
· A network of vibrant arts and culture
organisations, facilities and events that enliven the west
Going West is one of the most recognised art organisations of west
Auckland – locally, nationally and internationally. There are two
reasons for that. One is that – founded in 1996 – it’s one
of the oldest. The other is that unlike the physical arts, literature can go
anywhere with ease. We’ve taken advantage of podcasting technology to
distribute west Auckland literary culture to the world.
There is much research demonstrating that regions renowned for their
creativity have distinct advantages in attracting visitors, skilled labour
and new investment (e.g. Gathen, Constanze, 2021; Dienst, 2018; e.g. UN
Creative Cities Network). West Auckland has a strong literary tradition which
we can draw on, and the Going West Archive podcasts make a powerful lever for
that. The very nature of podcasting makes it widely accessible to people
wherever they are.
Our content privileges west Auckland writers, and we also cover writers from
elsewhere in Aotearoa. Combined with our west Auckland themed branding,
we’re very clearly a uniquely innovative west Auckland arts
organisation.
This project meets at least two other WRLB priorities.
- Libraries at the heart of the community
These podcasts draw on the Going West collection of audio, photography, film,
ephemera and business records held by Auckland Libraries in west Auckland.
The podcasts will promote this collection to members of the public, providing
links to the items’ Auckland Libraries catalogue entries.
- Heritage of our people, places and buildings is recognised and valued
The podcasts are all about literary people, with an over representation of
west Auckland storytellers, and extensive coverage of west Auckland places
and buildings. For example, our audio and photography features west
Aucklanders like Dick Scott, Rewi Spraggon, Mahinaranga Tocker, Stanley
Palmer, Serie Barford, Maurice Gee, Bruce and Trixie Harvey, Maurice
Shadbolt, Derek Challis, Fleur Adcock, Bob Harvey and many more; and
buildings like Little Chapel of Faith in the Oaks, New Lynn Community Centre,
Corbans Estate Arts Centre and the Grand Hotel in Helensville, as well as
bountiful imagery of western line train stations before the upgrades
associated with double tracking.

The podcasts will be bokended with an intro and outro by Going West
archivist and former director James Littlewood. In addition to framing the
content, James will include an acknowledgement of the support of
Waitākere Ranges local board, and a short description of the
board’s area and how it (and Going West both) reflect the values of
healthy food and drink, active lifestyles, environmental sustainability,
active planting programmes and diverse transport options.

If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
If only part of the project was the funded, then Going West would
redirect it’s existing funding from Auckland Libraries Heritage Trust
and Lotteries NZ into a series of blog posts on an Auckland Libraries site.
This will be a much weaker cultural product and a much smaller audience, and
with less targeted emphasis given to west Auckland.
Although the project is close to the minimum viable budget, there are two
line items without which the project might still proceed in a compromised
form: social media promotion ($300) and an Apra licence ($250) to cover music
royalties. Without paid social media promotion, the podcasts will reach a
much smaller audience, so this marginal item has a big potential
impact.
The Apra licence would mean that any artists whose performances are released
within one of our podcasts would receive a small royalty payment based on the
number of downloads, which is an ethical issue. However, there is a
possibility that Auckland Libraries’ existing Apra licence will extend
to this usage. We currently have a query with Auckland Libraries about this.

Summary:
|
We seek funding for a series of community activations aimed at
positively engaging and building resilience in young people, particularly
Māori and Pasifika. These activations will include organised activities
and games, free BBQ, chill-out area and music, designed to reflect the
interests of the community and keep young people engaged and connected. Youth
workers link young people back into our youth centre and with other local
support services to provide them with comprehensive support to meet their
needs. The ultimate goal is to ensure that young people in Waitakere are
healthy, safe, and feel valued, connected, and that they belong.
|
|
Expertise:
|
Zeal is a member of Ara Taiohi (the peak body for youth development
in Aotearoa) and applies best-practice by adopting the Code of Ethics for
youth workers and the Mana Taiohi principle-based framework. Our work is
underpinned by holistic, strengths-based youth development models: Circle of
Mana, Te Whare Tapa Whā, Tuakana-teina. The West Auckland Street Youth
Work Project began in 2014 after a tragic incident involving two young boys
who fatally attacked a local shop owner. Zeal responded by initiating the
Street Youth Work project, deploying youth workers to engage at-risk youth on
the streets, offering support and positive alternatives. Zeal has also
operated a similar project in Hamilton and currently runs a Wellington CBD
Street Youth Work project.

Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
This project focuses on improving community safety and the safety,
health, wellbeing and connectedness of vulnerable young people by engaging
youth in positive activities within their communities. We will run a total of
9 activations in a range of locations during the term 2, 3 and 4 school
holidays. Specific community outcomes include:
• Engage the most vulnerable young people in Waitakere through
community activations • Provide safe and inclusive spaces for
young people to gather, socialise and build community, reducing anti-social
behaviour and enhancing community safety
• Instil a sense of pride and connectedness within the local community
• Build positive and trusting relationships and ensure the proper
support for young people using a strengths-based approach
• Support young people to engage with community services and providers
within their local area
• Connect young people to Zeal’s youth facility and the many
youth development activities and opportunities it provides
• Collaborate with other youth, community and welfare services in
Waitakere to provide wrap-around services for young people

· To enhance the health, wellbeing and
resilience of local communities
The project aims to enhance the health, wellbeing, and resilience of
local communities by engaging disengaged young people in positive activities.
Youth workers build relationships of trust with young people they engage with
and link them back into Zeal’s youth facility and to local support
services, ensuring they are healthy, safe, and feel valued and connected. The
project also focuses on improving community safety and reducing anti-social
behaviour by providing safe and inclusive spaces for young people to gather and
build community.

· Māori participation - Māori
priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering
Because our community activations will be held in areas with high
Māori and Pasifika populations, we expect to primarily engage with
rangatahi from these communities. Our youth workers, who are of Māori
and Pasifika descent, provide culturally relevant connection and
representation, helping to build trust and meaningful engagement with the
young people we work with. We will also collaborate with Hāpai Te
Hauora, a Māori health and wellbeing organisation, to help share key
health promotion messages that support the wellbeing of our Māori
community.

• Youth workers act as role models for young people. All our
youth workers are smoke-free when on the streets.
• Community activations will be zero waste.
• Healthy food options will be present including water.
• Active lifestyles will be promoted and activation activities will
include physical games such as 3 on 3 basketball.

Feedback from previous community activations:
"The park activation was a great event which gave the Zeal team an
opportunity to push key messages around being able to talk about stress and
managing mental wellbeing. Using basketball as a platform for engagement, we
had the opportunity to engage with young people and, in turn, get to know
them, leading them to open up about some of the issues they were
facing." Zeal staff

Summary:
|
SCLCCT is once again collaborating with the ART Collective Project to
support our Auckland Region communities through creative play. We aim to
expand our support of our local diverse community’s creative and mental
wellbeing through offering 98 weekly ART classes at several venues, safe
unique places, in nature's parks and beachsides, and pop-up spaces throughout
South, East, Central and West Auckland Communities from May through December
2025.
As part of this 8-month project, we are seeking financial support from the
Waitakere Local Board towards artist fees, administration, and marketing
costs for 20 weekly 3hr human figure exploration art classes facilitated by
Local Artist Nicky Hartley on Cornwallis Beach and home studio in May thru
Nov 2025.
|
|
Expertise:
|
Our trust has collaborated with the ART Collective Project since 2020
and consist of eight local artists from diverse cultural backgrounds living
in Auckland Region who collaborate with our trust to share their skills and
talents in a relaxed setting while teaching participants the importance of
their mental and overall well-being through creative expression. They teach a
wide range of original practices that offer opportunities of self-development
in one's individual art practice such as watercolour painting, acrylic
palette knife art, human figure exploration, textile fibre art, micro macrame
jewellery & art, printmaking, collage and creative ink art.
Please see attached summary of our classes, testimonies and photos of our
classes and the pictures taken during our 2023/2024 classes

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 art classes
• Create opportunities for intergenerational cultural exchange
• 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 human figure
exploration for it 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:
|
|
|
Waitākere
Ranges
· To enhance the health, wellbeing and
resilience of local communities
Our collaborative goal is to offer 98 art classes in Auckland at two
or three open art spaces per week being urban and rural, beaches, city
centres, suburbs and village cafes in 2025 at reasonable art class pricing.
Now more than ever, we need to support people in varies ways and enhance the
health, wellbeing and resilience of local communities. 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 and connection.
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 ethnically diverse
communities bringing vibrancy and cultural learning opportunities in West
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 one FREE scholarship
for each 4-week human figure exploration monthly art class for people with
financial difficulties during these times of unrest.
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.

canvas', paint etc. To save our planet and our cost, we share and collect
from others their unwanted paint supplies that we can turn into art….

Community benefits

|
Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
Our communities throughout West Auckland will be able to identify our
team, who we are and what we represent within our club and community.
Waitemata Seagulls league club have a large number of junior teams (under
6s-12s) but only one youth team. Last year there were three youth teams, a
under 13s, 14s and 15s team, however two of the teams have left the club. It
is important that we don't loose another team and by building a team with a
strong sense of identity and cultural diversity, we can build healthy relationships
with our communities. Our team are based out of Ranui but its possible we
will have games against other West Auckland teams like Glenora in Glen Eden
and the Stags in New Lynn. We intend to put any sponsors logos on our
tracksuits so by providing team tracksuits for our kids to wear at trainings
and games throughout the season from May to August will help to build a
strong identity and sense of belonging for our kids, community and all our
supporters who live throughout Auckland including families from the Waitakere
Rangers area. Our tracksuits will show the support our team has received from
sponsors too.

Waitākere
Ranges
· People from our diverse communities are
connected and feel as though they belong
Our team members come from diverse backgrounds. They are all of Maori
or Polynesian descent and are local kids who attend local high schools and
intermediates. The majority of our team this year are new to the team and it
is their first time playing together. We are working to build a team
environment where everyone is free to express themselves, their cultures and
bring their diversity to our team. We have big goals we are seeking to
achieve in the 2025 year. Wellbeing and development through participation in
sport, particularly rugby league, is an aspiration our coaching and
management team are seeking to achieve with our group of boys this year. By
providing funding to assist our team we will have the ability to empower our
team which will trickle down to impact and empower their families and the
wider community. There are so many opportunities that can arise through team
sports and we strive to build a brotherhood within our team with core values.
We strive to achieve a friendly family dynamic within our team where our
families feel part of our community and can help us to support our kids as
one big community. Providing our kids with tracksuits will not only keep them
warm during the winter months but will help to build an identity and further
sense of community whereby other people from our community will be able to
see who we are, the unity we have and will hopefully support us and become
part of our journey. We want our kids to feel welcome and that they have a
safe space where they belong, and providing them with a team tracksuit will
help to build this sense of pride and belonging.

Summary:
|
To make a short animated documentary about Parbhu Patel's role in
supporting the dock workers during the 1951 waterfront strike of 1951. Parbhu
owned the dairy on the corner of Captain Scott and West Coast Roads in Glen
Eden. I have already spoken to his older son Thakore (he is 92 years old) and
am looking for whanau of a dock worker. Will also speak to Parbhu's younger
son who ran the dairy after.

Community benefits
|
|
Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
The Glen Eden community will know of their local hero Parbhu Patel
and feel pride. The wider community too will know of this history. That in
Aotearoa we had (and have) people who quietly support others, that there is
kindness and aroha. These are qualities to be admired and aspired for.
Especially in difficult times where we want to look towards the past and feel
galvanised by selfless acts.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Waitākere
Ranges
· People from our diverse communities are
connected and feel as though they belong
Parbhu Patel was a local hero few know about now. Because of his mahi
Bill Sewell mentioned Glen Eden in his poem Pause. This poem inspired the
title of the project.
Our migrant communities contribute hugely to this country but they are always
seen only either for their economic contribution or exotic cultures, rarely
as being part of the wider community where they live and do quiet mahi.
Parbhu not only supported dock workers during the 1951 waterfront strike but
he was also a volunteer firefighter, named a few streets in the area and an
outstanding member of the Glen Eden community. You have a piece of history
there that must be preserved even though the family no longer owns the
dairy/general store.
Sapna has consulted with Jacqueline Leckie, an academic and historian who has
researched the old Indian diaspora here for a long time. She has personal
connections with the Parbhu family and will provide photos from her
collection for this project.
I think this project supports the board priority of arts and culture but also
about diversity and people living here.

All of the project at this point (if possible) as these are already
discounted general rates within the filmmaking sector. I have yet to talk to
dock worker whanau and Parbhu's younger son so cannot predict if the film
will be longer than my planned 10 minutes. In that case I will need more
funds that I will seek from other sources. I want to make a beautiful
film to respect the Parbhu famil but it also means film festivals, museums
and other platforms would be interested in showcasing it.
|
|
If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
I will hustle to get people to donate their time and talent which
will only prolong the film as they will work on it when the are free. So yes,
I will amend the project plan.

· A network of vibrant arts and culture
organisations, facilities and events that enliven the west
We will bring a vibrant youth performance of Into the Woods Jr to
West Auckland. This production offers an opportunity for local actors aged 18
years and under to showcase their craft and learn and develop skills and for
the community to see a low cost, high quality theatre performance suitable
for all ages in a historic Glen Eden location.
We offer young people free accessible training in performing, sound,
lighting, crew, stage management, makeup, wardrobe and front of house. They
will learn skills, make friends and have the opportunity to perform in their
chosen discipline on and off stage. Our doors are open to all people,
especially young people, who want to learn and while we do have some people
that return regularly, we are thrilled that there are always new people
auditioning or getting involved in other areas of theatre. We aim to give all
people involved new skills that are transferable into the workplace in
future.
Our creative team for this production are all aged 21 years and under.

Yes - We have a wheelchair accessible entrance, wheelchair accessible
toilets in front of house and in the green room. We can remove seats to
provide two spaces for wheelchairs to be positioned to see the show. We seat
people with walkers before the rest of the audience and have an area to place
the walkers so that they can be easily returned to the patrons when they want
to leave their seats. We welcome people with disabilities to audition
and previous youth casts have included cast members with disabilities that we
accomodate as 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
We will have no smoking message within the theatre and programme. We
use glasses rather than plastic for beverages and mugs for coffee and tea.
All glass bottles and cans are recycled. Water is positioned front centre for
the beverages on sale and is priced
attractively at $2 for a bottle and tap water is available free on the
counter.

Most
of those actively involved will be between 10-21 years across cast and

Project: Mentoring
boys who dont have a father in their lives
|
|
Location:
|
300 Great South Road, Greenlane
|
|
Summary:
|
Mentoring for Waitakere Ranges 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 13 Waitakere Ranges
Ward 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.

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:
|
|
|
Waitākere
Ranges
· People from our diverse communities are
connected and feel as though they belong
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.

About 25% of the boys who participate in our programme identify as

|
|
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.

Carpet - Titirangi Community House

Location:

|
Summary:
|
We are seeking funding to replace carpet in our Kauri and Rimu
rooms. These are our two most frequently used spaces. The current
carpet is worn, dirty, and ripped, creating a health and safety hazard for
those who use the rooms. Upgrading the flooring will provide a safer,
cleaner, and more welcoming environment for our community while also ensuring
an inviting space for hirers.
|
|
Expertise:
|
We have looked into carpet that is laid in other community
houses/spaces. We have researched different kind of commercial carpet
and have found a couple of potential contractors. It has been
recommeded to get get carpet tiles, which means any damaged tiles can easily
be replaced vs the whole carpet.

Community benefits
|
|
Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
The new carpet will create a cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable
environment. Currently, the existing carpet requires quarterly cleaning,
costing up to $1,400 per year. Installing dark commercial carpets will better
conceal stains, reducing maintenance costs and improving overall cleanliness.
This is especially important for classes where participants sit on the floor,
such as baby massage and antenatal sessions. Additionally, upgrading the
flooring will enhance the venue’s appearance, making it more appealing
to hirers and ensuring a more welcoming space for all users.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Waitākere
Ranges
· To enhance the health, wellbeing and
resilience of local communities
Our project directly supports the Local Board priority of enhancing
health, well-being, and community resilience by improving the safety and
usability of the Titirangi Community House. Replacing the worn, dirty, and
ripped carpet will create a cleaner and healthier environment, reducing
health risks for community members, especially those participating in
floor-based activities like baby massage and antenatal classes.
A well-maintained and inviting space encourages greater community engagement,
ensuring that our 20 weekly classes and over 35 annual events can continue to
provide social connection, education, and well-being support. Additionally, a
more presentable venue will attract more hirers, securing income that helps
sustain our programs and services. This project strengthens our ability to
serve the community long-term, fostering a welcoming, resilient, and
inclusive space for all.

|
Summary:
|
We are seeking funding to fully coordinate two free family theatre
shows at Playhouse Theatre in Glen Eden. These shows will be all inclusive
and celebrate difference and diversity within family and community. Two
Vaudeville musical comedy shows by local act Captain Festus McBoyle and
possibly one other musical ensemble. A Unique and Dynamic family event to run
in conjunction with NZ Music Month on May 31st, 2025
|
|
Expertise:
|
Now completed 8 Free Family Events. All events possible with the help
of Local Board or Business Association funding, some with sponsorship which
we secured independently.Feb 16th was funded by The Whau Local Board and
completely free to community. Fully inclusive and involved many local
organisations such as Encounter Hope, Blockhouse Bay Lions and The IMB
Martial Arts Academy.
Family Events are our specialty. We provide quality events and work with a
very tight and professional team to supply vibrant and unique family
experiences. Our biggest event was a 60K project, run in conjunction with
Hawkes Bay Radio. Two large flood relief shows at Toi Toi Centre and Napier
Municipal Theatre. Very successful and rewarding indeed.

Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
This project will enable over 600 community members to experience a
unique and dynamic family show for free. These shows will transcend both age
and culture with ease. They will unite generations, sub-cultures and
community groups PLUS include up to 2 high quality NZ family entertainment
groups. These shows will help to create unity and better understanding within
community. They will raise awareness and acceptance of the incredible
diversity which exists within The Waitakere Ranges Local Board area. It will
bring light and love to community at a time when it is really needed. It will
be for community, it will employ community and utilise one of this
communities most charming venues (The Playhouse Theatre) A Vaudevillian
experience that is not often seen in NZ and with the aim to be fully
inclusive of all family and community. We will also reach out to local
schools and encourage costume creation amongst students, potentially a parade
of Kids on show.Both shows bring people into the Town centre, which in turn
will see local businesses well utilised on the day. These shows will also aim
celebrate NZ Music and raise community awareness to the pool of talent we
harbour within this board.

· People from our diverse communities are
connected and feel as though they belong
This event will be fully inclusive and fully accessible to all
community. It will aim to be a celebration of difference and diversity within
The Waitakere Ranges Region and this is something that we feel very strongly
about. We believe that when many diverse groups are bought together into one
safe environment, we encourage more understanding, more acceptance, more
communication and in turn we create more unity within our community. We have
strong ties with the Special Needs community, Womens Refuge, Man Alive,
Family Action and the LGBTQ community. We also have strong ties with our
Maori Community. Pea-Knuckle Production's Co-Director - Larissa Lofley is
Ngāti Raukawa and is currently doing a level 5 Diploma in Rongoā
(Maori Medicine) We also have connections with Waipāreira Trust and we
intend to reach out to all of these varied communities with this project.
Awareness and understanding is the key to building better communities.That is
the goal with this free fun-filled family experience.

participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation
or Māori staff delivering
Pea-Knuckle Production has two Directors. One in Kiwi and the other
is Maori (Larissa Lofley)
She will co-produce this project with Rich Manic. She designs all costumes
and is heavily involved in all Art design and Production areas. She also
plays Miss Lucy Drawers in the Troupe. Captain Festus McBoyle has two Maori
members. We also have 12 year old Awa Lofley who performs as Chalkie the Cat
PLUS takes care of our Merch Table. Pea-Knuckle will be reaching out to many
Maori community groups to invite them along. This is something we feel very
passionate about. This local board is very diverse in its make up and total
inclusion and acknowledgement of NZ's indigenous people is paramount..
|
|
Accessible to people with disabilities
|
Yes - The Playhouse Theatre is fully able to cater for this sector of
community.This was a factor we considered heavily when choosing the venue.
Direct approach to the many Special needs schools in the area is a heavy
focus for us. We feel a strong connection with this sector. We have also
considered reaching out to the Deaf community, maybe have a sign interpreter
on site. We will also reach out to the blind community to ensure full
inclusion. This in turn raises more awareness and acceptance within community
. I feel that these events affect many people from all over Auckland. Through
competition based data collection at each event we have produced, its now
well noted that families from many other boards do travel in to see these
shows. This is seen as being really positive in terms of raising awareness to
each Local Board we produce events within.
|
|
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 Venue is fully smoke free with a clear message onsite. We will
fully endorse this as well.
All rubbish is to be taken away after the shows preferably. Some onsite Venue
bins will definitely be present.
Very happy to look at onsite Recycling and Landfill bin options with
direction from The Local Board..
Refreshments will be provided onsite by the Playhouse Theatre. We will ensure
that healthy options are available on the day.
These will both be high energy shows which encourage Movement, Dance, Singing
and lots of Physical Interaction.

|
|
|
Does
your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?
We
are fully inclusive with this event. All cultures and ethnicities are welcomed.
We heavily support the elderly community and believe that uniting the family
generations is very important. We intend to promote this event to the special
needs community, an area we strongly support. Exposure to all parts of
community enables better understanding and acceptance. Strong supporters of
anti violence groups and domestic violence support groups is another area we
strongly support. Reaching out direct is our plan ignorer to being together as
many parts of community as possible. We are aiming to create a true celebration
of difference and diversity in our community with this two shows. Being big
supporters of the LGBTQ Community, we intend to reach out to many of their
organisations as well.

Requesting grant for:
|
Venue Expenses, Entertainment Booking costs, Security Expenses,
General Production costs - Sound, Lighting, Posters, Flyers, Graphic Design,
Marketing and Promotion expenses PLUS an Event coordination fee. There will
be at least 40-50 hours needed to complete this community project. We have
plenty of experience with events like this and we feel that we have included
all possible components and have allowed an accurate amount of time for
the full coordination.
|
|
If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
Please note that our contribution to this project would be the many
hours of coordination that would be done at a heavily reduced rate.
Plus we will be donating a free lighting rig valued at $600 plus GST to hire.
We would reduce to one act for two shows with less funding.
Reducing the number of Posters and Flyers is a possibilty.
Reducing production hours and maybe scale down on Lighting will reduce the
cost.
The funding enables this event to be completely free to community. This is
the goal with this event. We did a similar ticketed version of this event at
The Playhouse Theatre about 18 months ago. Tickets were $15. Really
successful but many hours to coordinate with tickets. We would not be
prepared to run a ticketed event at this stage. We had a hugely discounted
hire rate being in as a community rate of $700 from memory. This could
potentially be achieved by the Local Board booking the venue direct.
We did the calculations and with two full houses (thats 600 people) the cost
of each ticket comes in at a cost of $16 plus GST. This is a very fair ticket
price for a quality family event.
Please note that the amount of $9475.74 would also need to have GST added.

Project: Life

Location:

Henderson Probation Centre - 92 Railside Ave, Henderson
|
|
Summary:
|
Momentum is seeking funding of $10,170.00 for six one-day life and
financial skills programmes, facilitated by Life101, to be run at
the Henderson Probation Centre (Waitakere Railside Ave) 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 four one-day programmes will directly benefit 120 at-risk
individuals and indirectly the local Waitakere Ranges community.
|
|
Expertise:
|
Life101 has been delivering life and financial skills programmes in
Aotearoa's prisons and probation centres for the past 11 years. Since 2018,
Momentum has partnered with Life101 to support more programmes in prisons and
probation centres. Additionally, in 2023-24
Momentum piloted a peer-to-peer mentor programme, where individuals in prison
who have completed Life101 programmes are paired with a volunteer from the
community. This mentorship helps participants apply their new skills and
transition smoothly back into
their communities. We have included with this funding application debrief
reports from past Life101 programmes, based on participant survey responses,
to demonstrate the positive feedback and significant learning improvements
achieved during the programmes.

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 Waitakere Ranges 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 Waitakere Ranges
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 Waitakere Ranges 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:

|
Waitākere
Ranges
· People from our diverse communities are
connected and feel as though they belong
Our project supports the Waitakere Ranges Local Board's priority of
ensuring that people from their diverse community are connected and feel as
though they belong by addressing the specific needs of individuals recently
released from prison and those serving
community-based sentences. Here’s how:
Community Integration: The life and financial skills programmes we will
support at the Henderson Probation Centre focus on building
participants’ confidence and competence. By equipping them with
practical skills such as CV writing, job interview techniques, and
financial management, we help them reintegrate into their local community
with a sense of purpose and belonging.
Local Focus: Most participants, if not all come from the local area, meaning
the skills and motivation they gain will directly benefit the local Waitakere
Ranges community. This local focus helps foster a sense of belonging as
participants can see the immediate impact of
their progress within their own neighbourhoods.
Peer Support and Shared Experiences: The programmes encourage participants to
share their stories and support one another, creating a network of peer
support. This communal aspect helps build strong social connections, making
participants feel more connected and
valued within their community.
Positive Community Impact: By addressing root causes such as underemployment
and financial instability, the programmes not only benefit the participants
but also have a ripple effect on their families and the wider community. This
holistic approach helps to strengthen
community resilience and cohesion.
Ongoing Evaluation and Improvement: The programme provider, Life101 conduct
continuous informal and formal evaluations to adapt the programmes to the
unique needs of the participants. This feedback loop ensures that our
initiatives remain effective and relevant, further solidifying participants'
connection and sense of belonging within their community.
By focusing on these key areas, our project not only supports the individual
growth and reintegration of our participants but also contributes to a
stronger, more cohesive, and supportive community overall.

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

|
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, the facilitators
are trained to adapt their facilitation methods to accommodate different
learning styles, including auditory, visual, and kinesthetic approaches.
Life101 also offer flexible scheduling and alternative communication methods
to ensure that individuals with disabilities can
fully participate in their activities. Overall, our commitment to inclusivity
and diversity ensures that people with disabilities have equal opportunities
to engage and benefit from the 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: Life101 incorporate smoke-free messages into the
programme materials, workshops, and programmes. This will include raising
awareness about the costs of smoking and the negative health impacts.
Additionally, they will create a smoke-free environment within the programme
venues and actively discourage smoking during programme activities.
Waste Minimisation (Zero Waste) Messages: Life101 will emphasise waste
minimisation and zero waste principles throughout the 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.
They also aim to minimise paper usage by providing electronic resources and
materials whenever possible.
Healthy Options for Food and Drink: Life101 facilitators 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. They 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, the
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 the 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 will to ensuring that our first aid room is fit for purpose
in handling medical emergencies.
The upgraded room will directly support our lifeguards by providing a more
functional space to treat rescued individuals before emergency services
arrive. It will ensure that our volunteers have the tools they need to
perform their duties safely and effectively.
The upgraded First Aid room will be a resource for Plunket nurses, offering a
space to serve families in Piha, Karekare, and Anawhata, particularly during
the winter months when healthcare access can be more limited.
Local residents and visitors to Piha will benefit from the upgraded facility,
knowing that a well-equipped First Aid room is available for both routine and
emergency medical care.
Tourists and beachgoers will benefit from faster, more effective treatment in
the event of an emergency, contributing to safer beach experiences.
This project will benefit the West Auckland region and wider community,
particularly the Piha, Karekare, and Anawhata areas. Piha SLSC plays a key
role in providing safety and emergency services in these communities and is a
vital part of the region’s emergency response infrastructure.

Alignment with local board priorities:

Waitākere
Ranges
· To enhance the health, wellbeing and
resilience of local communities
Our project supports the selected Local Board priority by enhancing
the safety and resilience of community infrastructure. Piha Surf Life Saving
Club manages one of the busiest and most dangerous beaches in Auckland, with
a high number of visitors requiring extended services and longer opening
hours than most other clubs. This, alongside the operation of our licensed
and popular Clubhouse and Restaurant/Bar, means that a large number of people
use our facilities year-round, including staff, volunteers, members, the
public, and local community groups.
The maintenance project aims to improve the functionality of the Club to
ensure the delivery of our lifesaving services and protect those who use our
facilities. By upgrading the First Aid room, we will enhance our emergency
response capabilities, creating an inclusive environment that promotes a
sense of belonging and support, which is essential for building a strong,
resilient community. By offering a shared space for healthcare providers, we
foster collaboration among vital services, ensuring a more coordinated and
efficient response during medical emergencies.
During Cyclone Gabrielle, Piha SLSC served as a community hub and evacuation
point in Waitakere Ranges, demonstrating the importance of having a secure,
functional space for emergencies. The upgraded First Aid room will further
enhance Piha SLSC’s role as a vital community resource, fostering
connection, support, and trust among residents and visitors.

Our project will achieve Māori outcomes by prioritizing cultural
sensitivity and collaboration with local iwi, as Piha SLSC operates on
culturally significant land. We regularly partner with iwi for community
events, including beach blessings after drowning incidents, to honor
Māori traditions.
As part of the upgrade, we will display artwork from local Māori artists
in the First Aid room, reflecting Piha's cultural significance and our
service. This will strengthen cultural awareness and foster a sense of
belonging within the community. By celebrating Māori culture, we aim to
create a space that supports Māori well-being, cultural expression, and
community connection, while also meeting our operational needs.

Accessible to people with disabilities
|
Yes - Our project is designed to be fully accessible for people with
disabilities. The upgraded First Aid room will include features that ensure
ease of access for all users, including those with mobility challenges. We
will ensure that doorways are wide enough for wheelchair access, and that the
room layout allows for easy movement within the space.
Additionally, any medical equipment installed will be user-friendly, with
clear signage and instructions available in accessible formats, such as large
print or braille. We will also ensure that the space is compliant with
relevant accessibility standards, making it a safe and welcoming environment
for all, regardless of physical ability. This approach ensures the facility
remains inclusive and accessible for everyone in the community, particularly
those with disabilities.

Healthy environment approach:
|
Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste)
messages, 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 prioritize eco-friendly and sustainable materials for the
upgrades, such as non-toxic paints, energy-efficient lighting, and durable
storage units that reduce the need for frequent replacements, supporting a
greener environment.
The upgraded First Aid room will provide a safer, more functional space for
medical staff, volunteers, and community members, promoting physical and
mental well-being. This will ensure a comfortable, hygienic environment for
emergency care and community services.
We will display smoke-free messages prominently within the upgraded
space, in line with our commitment to providing a healthy environment for all
users. This will help reinforce a smoke-free culture at Piha SLSC, supporting
the well-being of our community and visitors.
By prioritizing cleanliness, sustainability, safety, and smoke-free values,
we create an environment that supports both immediate health needs and
long-term wellness.

We are requesting funding for the USL Medical Set-up $10,997.00 excl
gst as part of our project. This includes the purchase and installation of
essential medical equipment, such as heart rate monitors, oxygen meters, and
secure storage for the defibrillator. This upgrade is critical to ensuring
the First Aid room is properly equipped to handle medical emergencies and
support the community effectively. The total cost of the full project to
upgrade Frist Aid room is estimated to $36,013.57 excl gst.
|
|
If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
We would prioritize the most critical components Medical Set-up,
ensuring that the First Aid room remains functional and able to meet
immediate emergency needs. If funding is limited for electrical and window
upgrades, we will focus on installing the essential medical equipment first,
and defer the electrical and window upgrades to the next phase when
additional funds are secured. We will explore other funding opportunities,
including grants or donations, to cover the remaining costs for the
electrical upgrades, window replacement, and storage units.
This phased approach ensures that the most vital aspects of the project are
completed first, allowing us to continue providing essential lifesaving
services while seeking further funding for the remaining work.

Summary:
|
We are seeking funding to establish an employment assistance service
within the community hub we are developing at our housing complex. This
service will include a workstation equipped with a computer and printer for
resume building and printing, alongside facilities for conducting interview
preparation workshops. Additionally, we will provide access to
interview-appropriate clothing. We intend to collaborate with employment
networks to ensure the effective delivery of these services within the hub.
In the future, the hub will also feature a community pantry offering low- and
no-cost groceries to support our social housing tenants and the broader
community. Partner organisations will be invited to run workshops focused on
promoting social and economic wellbeing.
|
|
Expertise:
|
Home in Place already runs two longstanding community hubs in our
Australian operations, with great success (details here:
https://homeinplace.org/community-hubs/ ). We operate a community pantry as
well as community connection programs and skill building workshops for these
communities by connecting with partner organisations.
Our CEO NZ, Larissa Bridge, has worked with existing hub manager to gain an
insight in to the knowledge and resources required to execute such a porject,
and she will have their ongoing support as the project rolls out.

|
Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
The proposed project offers significant community benefits by
providing essential resources and support to individuals seeking employment.
By establishing an employment assistance service, the project will empower
community members who may have limited resources, such as our social housing
tenants, to improve their job prospects through resume building, interview
preparation, and access to professional attire. This will help bridge
barriers to employment, fostering financial independence and long-term career
success, and therefore improving social outcomes for themselves and the
community.
Additionally, the community pantry will address food insecurity by offering
low- and no-cost groceries to both social housing tenants and the wider
community. This initiative will reduce financial stress and ensure that
individuals have access to nutritious food, promoting overall well-being. By
hosting workshops that encourage social and economic wellness, the project
will create a more connected, resilient, and self-sufficient community.
|
|
Alignment with local board priorities:
|
|
|
Waitākere
Ranges
· Economic wellbeing for rangatahi
Our project directly supports the priority of economic wellbeing for
rangatahi by providing essential resources and services to help them secure
employment. The development of a dedicated employment assistance service will
sit within our community hub in a complex including social housing, in an
area that has disadvantage in the community, will equip rangatahi with the
tools they need for job readiness, including resume-building assistance,
interview preparation workshops, and access to interview-appropriate
clothing. By partnering with employment networks, we can enhance these efforts,
offering expert guidance and support. Furthermore, the community pantry that
will also sit within this hub will help alleviate financial stress, ensuring
young people have access to nutritious food, enabling them to focus on their
career aspirations. This comprehensive approach fosters both physical and
economic wellness, providing young people with the foundation for long-term
success.

Yes - This project will be designed with accessibility at its core to
ensure it serves individuals with disabilities effectively. The community hub
and employment assistance services will be fully accessible, with features
such as wheelchair ramps and wide doorways for wheelchair users.
Staff and volunteers will receive training in disability awareness to ensure
respectful, inclusive service and support.
Additionally, the community pantry will be stocked with a variety of food
options that cater to dietary needs, and we will ensure that the space is
clear of obstacles and easy to navigate. The goal is to create an inclusive
environment where everyone, regardless of ability, can access the resources
and support they need.
|
|
Healthy environment approach:
|
Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for
food and drink, including water as the first choice
This project will promote a healthy environment approach by
incorporating sustainable practices and health-conscious choices throughout
its operations. We will integrate waste minimisation strategies by
encouraging a zero-waste policy, communicate that participants should only
take what they need, and not print physical copies more than is necessary.
This includes reducing single-use plastics, using recyclable materials where
appropriate, and promoting the use of reusable items such as containers and
utensils. Additionally, we will educate participants about waste reduction
and provide guidance on how they can implement these practices in their daily
lives.
In terms of food and drink, the community pantry will focus on offering
healthy, nutritious options, with an emphasis on fresh produce, whole foods,
and balanced meal ingredients. We will ensure that water is readily available
as the first choice for hydration, alongside promoting healthy alternatives
to sugary drinks. By fostering a culture of sustainability and healthy
living, this project will contribute to both the well-being of the community
and the environment.

the theatre so we can ensure they end up being recycled and not thrown
away. Glasses and cups are washed rather than providing plastic
ones. Water is available free on the front counter and if bottled water
is preferred it is attractively priced at $2. The theatre is used for
dance groups and fitness programmes.

Summary:
|
This significant cultural event is more than a celebration—it
is a critical opportunity to acknowledge and uplift kaumātua while they
are still here, strengthen intergenerational knowledge-sharing, and
ensure the marae remains a thriving community hub. Without this funding, we
cannot properly honor the kaumātua who have dedicated their lives to
Hoani Waititi Marae, nor can we ensure widespread community participation.
The dawn karakia to reopen our wharekai is essential, not symbolic—this
kitchen is the backbone of our ability to host events, deliver support, and
provide kai for whānau in need. This funding ensures not just an event,
but a legacy—one that preserves Māori identity, sustains
kaumātua wisdom, and strengthens the cultural heart of West Auckland.
|
|
Expertise:
|
Hoani Waititi Marae has a proven track record of delivering
large-scale, kaupapa Māori events and initiatives that strengthen
whānau, celebrate cultural identity, and promote community engagement.
Our expertise lies in successfully organizing and hosting significant
gatherings, such as Matariki celebrations, kaumātua recognition
ceremonies, wānanga, and marae-based learning programs, ensuring
seamless coordination of logistics, cultural protocols, and stakeholder
engagement. With established partnerships across health, education, and
social sectors, we are adept at integrating support services into community
events, enhancing accessibility and impact. Our governance structure and
strategic vision ensure that we deliver well-organized, culturally authentic,
and sustainable initiatives that align with the long-term aspirations of the
marae and the wider community

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
While this event is Māori-led and firmly rooted in tikanga
Māori, it is designed to be inclusive and accessible to the wider West
Auckland community. Matariki is now a national holiday, and this event
provides a unique opportunity for all cultures to come together in a
meaningful way, strengthening cross-cultural understanding and respect for
Māori traditions. By participating in karakia, waiata, and kōrero,
attendees—both Māori and non-Māori—will gain a deeper appreciation
of the values of whakapapa, whanaungatanga, and manaakitanga, which are
central to Māori identity and community life.
The event will also serve as an educational and social platform, engaging
local schools, community organizations, and businesses in activities that
highlight the significance of Matariki. This fosters intergenerational
learning, ensuring that Māori and non-Māori rangatahi alike can
participate in cultural traditions that shape our collective identity.
Beyond cultural enrichment, this event has a tangible economic impact,
supporting local vendors, food suppliers, performers, and service providers,
reinforcing the marae’s role as a community and economic hub. By
bringing people together in a spirit of unity and mutual respect, this
kaupapa ensures that Māori identity remains a visible, celebrated, and
integral part of West Auckland’s diverse community.

Waitākere
Ranges
· Strong and productive mana whenua and
mataawaka relationships
Our project directly supports the Local Board priority of fostering
strong and productive mana whenua and mataawaka relationships by bringing
together iwi, hapū, and the wider community in a Community Dawn Service,
matariki celebration and Kaumātua Acknowledgment Ceremony at Hoani
Waititi Marae. Mātauranga Māori is not something passed down in
books—it is lived, spoken, and practiced. This event ensures that the
wisdom of kaumātua is directly transferred to rangatahi, reinforcing
tikanga and cultural identity in ways that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
Kaumātua will share their knowledge through kōrero tuku iho,
passing down the stories of the marae’s history and teachings on
leadership, resilience, and whakapapa. Without this event, there is no
guarantee that these stories will be told while our elders are still with us.
This initiative is not just about a one-day gathering; it is a structured
moment of cultural transmission that strengthens Māori identity for
generations to come.

Role
|
|
This funding request is part of a broader sustainability strategy,
ensuring that the event is not solely dependent on council support. The marae
is contributing significant in-kind resources, including venue hire, catering
support, volunteer labor, and operational costs.
|
Additionally, we are seeking sponsorship from local businesses to
contribute to this event. Koha will also play a role in reducing overall
costs, demonstrating that the wider community is invested in this kaupapa.
Auckland Council’s funding will be leveraged to ensure maximum impact,
allowing us to deliver an event that is both financially responsible and
community-driven.
|
|
Hoani Waititi Marae Kura Kaupapa & Kōhanga Reo
|
kura and kōhanga will contribute through waiata, haka, and
storytelling, allowing our tamariki and rangatahi to actively engage in the
celebration and deepen their understanding of Matariki and marae tikanga.

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
This project is Māori-led, Māori-focused, and deeply
embedded in tikanga Māori, ensuring meaningful outcomes for Māori
in West Auckland. Hoani Waititi Marae, a Māori organisation, is leading
this kaupapa, ensuring Māori voices shape every aspect of the event.
The project prioritises kaumātua, whānau, and rangatahi,
reinforcing whakapapa, tikanga, and mātauranga Māori through
karakia, waiata, and kaupapa Māori storytelling. Te reo Māori will
be actively used, supporting language revitalization.
Māori participation is central, with Māori kaumātua, marae
staff, kapa haka groups, kura kaupapa, and kōhanga reo involved. The
hākari lunch and community breakfast foster whakawhanaungatanga and
manaakitanga, ensuring intergenerational knowledge is passed down. This
kaupapa strengthens Māori identity and ensures cultural sustainability
for future generations.
|
|
Accessible to people with disabilities
|
Yes - Physical Accessibility – The marae has
wheelchair-accessible entry points, pathways, and seating areas, ensuring
that kaumātua and attendees with mobility challenges can move safely and
comfortably.
Seating Arrangements – Dedicated seating will be available for those
who require extra support, easy access, or assistance from whānau or
caregivers.
Assisted Listening & Visual Support – Speakers and performers will
use a PA sound system to ensure clarity, and printed materials will be
available in large-font options for visually impaired attendees.
|
|
Healthy environment approach:
|
Promote smoke-free messages, Healthy options for food and drink,
including water as the first choice
1. Smoke-Free Marae and Event
Hoani Waititi Marae is a proud smoke-free environment, and this kaupapa will
be reinforced throughout the event with clear signage and messaging.
Our kaumātua and community leaders will lead by example, integrating
smoke-free kōrero into the formal proceedings to encourage healthier
whānau choices.
2. Healthy Kai and Wai Māori (Water First Policy)
No sugary drinks will be provided—only fresh wai Māori, herbal
teas, and naturally infused waters will be served, promoting hydration and
well-being.
Our wharekai team will prepare a traditional and nourishing Matariki feast,
using fresh, locally sourced ingredients that reflect the season and
Māori values of manaakitanga.
This approach ensures that the event not only celebrates Matariki but also
reinforces well-being, sustainability, and healthy lifestyle choices in a way
that feels natural and culturally empowering for our people.

This significant event will bring the community together to honor
kaumātua, strengthen whānau connections, and celebrate
revitalization of Hoani Waititi Marae. Matariki, a time of remembrance,
renewal, and future aspirations, makes it the perfect moment for this
kaupapa.
The event will foster whakawhanaungatanga through a dawn karakia to reopen
the wharekai, a community breakfast, the Kaumātua Acknowledgment
Ceremony, and a hākari lunch. It will provide a space for
intergenerational learning and cultural preservation, ensuring kaumātua
are honored and their legacy upheld. Strengthening whānau relationships,
celebrating Māori identity, and enhancing the marae’s role as a
community hub will create lasting benefits.
|
|
If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
This event is not just a gathering—it is an urgent and
necessary investment in cultural preservation, kaumātua recognition, and
marae sustainability. Without external funding, the kaumātua
acknowledgment—the most significant part of this event—will be
significantly compromised. We will not be able to formally recognize
kaumātua with taonga, nor document their kōrero tuku iho for future
generations.
Furthermore, the dawn karakia to reopen our wharekai marks a critical
milestone in restoring our ability to host whānau-focused initiatives
and food security programs. Without full funding, fewer people will be able
to attend, reducing the impact of whakawhanaungatanga and limiting the
accessibility of this kaupapa to the wider community. We seek funding to
ensure this moment is not diminished, but fully realized, securing its
long-term impact on whānau, rangatahi, and the wider West Auckland
community.
This is not just about cutting cost it is about protecting the integrity of
the kaupapa. To fully honor kaumatua, engage the community and ensure
long term impact, we need full funding support.

|
|
Summary:
|
We are seeking funding to run our Afghan National Day celebration in
West Auckland. This event is held as a community event where people learn
about the Afghan culture and heritage. We have guest speakers and encourage
community participation - through dance and musical performances. We support
our Afghan refugee youth to lead and run this event as a youth leadership
opportunity. We have run this event for over 200 people over the last few
years in Te Atatu and in Central Auckland. We now wish to run this event in
Kelston to enable our West Auckland community to have easy access.
|
|
Expertise:
|
We have run these events annually over the last few years. We work
with the Afghan youth leaders to develop the event, organise and run the
event. We create a budget and are clear about the expectations around
budgeting and reporting. We run many community events - such as a
Christmas/end of year celebration, Matariki (in partnership with Te Tahawai
Marae), Waitangi Day, International Women's Day etc.

· People from our diverse communities are
connected and feel as though they belong
Our community of focus is refugees, with a big proportion of them
being from Afghanistan. Many have only recently come to New Zealand and are
feeling disconnected from their normal lives and have come with mental health
issues / trauma. This event provides an opportunity for community cohesion
and for cultural appreciation. This event will help bring the community
together to share and celebrate as well as connect them to the wider West
Auckland community.

The project draws out the diversity, experience, perspective and ways of life
of people of different ages and diverse backgrounds and lifestyles where all
contributions are equally valued. Art has the ability to bring all these
differences on an equal plane, being the medium, catalyst of creative play
and expression, also serves as an ideal platform to explore stereotypes such
as politics of age and is a catalyst for inclusion and positive change.
This will be reflected in the many clay creative contributions and

BirdCare Aotearoa is Auckland's main Dept of Conservation-permitted
wild bird hospital. Located within the Waitākere Ranges LB, we serve
concerned Aucklanders across our city- showcasing our rohe's commitment to
kaitiakitanga. We provide expert clinical rehabilitation services to sick,
injured, or orphaned wild bird rescues. We historically admitted ~6000 bird
patients per year, with 20% from this LB catchment. Here, we seek support
from the Waitākere Ranges LB to assist with 12% of our hospital's annual
operational expenses ($127,800: e.g., patient feed, medicine, disposable PPE,
utilities, and broad spectrum microbial disinfectant costs). Our charitable
organisation earnestly seeks a grant-in-aid of $15000 from your Local Board
to sustain the continued provision of bird-caring services to the
nature-loving communities of Tāmaki Makaurau.

Our community-based organisation's hospital operations benefits
Aucklanders- including residents of the WRLB, through inclusive and
accessible services and opportunities, centred on the clinical recovery of
sick, injured, or orphaned wild birds. We pride ourselves in compassionate
clinical expertise and research, to improve Animal Welfare,
Biosecurity, and Conservation outcomes for the region's birdlife. Further, we
are renowned for Developing community capability (e.g., training for
veterinary tertiary interns, work experience, language skills for new arrivals,
and social capital-enhancing opportunities for the Dept of Corrections: 120
volunteers per year). Further, through Research, Education and advocacy, we
enhance community awareness on risk factors affecting the health of taonga
populations. We collaborate regularly with local community-based operations
that focus on the environment, including Arataki, Ark in the Park and Matuku
Link to elevate conservation outcomes for Hikurangi's birdlife.
Our community-based operation enables all rescuers to feel engaged, included,
and collaboratively participate in programmes to have a positive effect on
nga manu (wild birds) and Te Taiao (nature). Like mana whenua, the many
cultures residing in our rohe see wild birds as an indicator of healthy
ecosystems, and value their connections to Te Taiao to support their
hinengaro and hauora (mental health and wellbeing).

Waitākere
Ranges
· Ecosystems are protected, restored and
enhanced in the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area
Thank you for the Waitakere Ranges Local Board Priority to protect,
restore, and enhance ecosystems in the WRHA. We are proud to support this
aspiration, while also responding to local residents' commitments in
residential areas and parks extending beyond the WRHA. Our bird hospital's
kaupapa strongly aligns with this Te Taiao-focussed priority, with further
support of mātāpono in protecting the majestic Manukau, awa, and
ngāhere of this rohe. Our mahi primarily serves Aucklanders through
paramedic services, providing residents with Dept of Conservation-permitted,
and compassionate expertise to entrust with their endemic and native bird
rescues and environmental concerns. 20% of our intake is from the WRLB, the
largest fraction of admissions by local board. Each bird patient represents
the concerns of its rescuer (diverse: young families to retirees, students
and the unemployed to corporates, wanderers to explorers. Our mahi strongly
aligns with your priorities to enhance biodiversity, protect significant ecological
areas, and protect/restore sanctuaries of Te Taiao, as detailed in your 2023
plan. Additionally, our concerns with Artificial Lighting at Night (ALAN)
resonate with the board's Dark Sky aspiration- our disoriented and grounded
seabird caseload is a metric of the city's night light pollution, and we are
happy to engage in these discussions further and collaborate for improving
outcomes for taonga birdlife. Note concerns about ALAN's effects on
biodiversity were recently presented at the Manukau Harbour Forum.
Through the clinical rehabilitation of bird casualties, we help to restore
birdlife in our neighborhoods, and mitigate the environmental impacts of
urban sprawl (malnourished from poor access to native habitats), growing
infrastructure (window and car collisions), domestic pet attacks,
recreational accidents (fishing hook injuries, boating amputations common for
shags and korora), and polluted waterways (shore and seabirds with plastic
ingestion). Supporting 12% of our opex, as described in this application will
enable us to sustain the facilities that are essential to our clinical
service delivery for Hikurangi and wider communities. Importantly, as plant
pollinators, seed disperses, nutrient cyclers, and natural pest controllers,
the return of these manu to their kainga (home territories) supports climate
action goals for this local board.
Further, through engaging a diverse network of birdcaring whanau (kaimahi and
staff), 23% of whom reside within this amazing rohe, we ensure to nurture a
diverse and inclusive environmental movement- so that our people are
connected, motivated and valued for caring for the environment. Indeed,
Kiwis love birdlife! As the city's main wild bird hospital, we ensure that
residents from the WRLB neighborhoods have access to high-quality facilities
to attend to their bird rescues.
Beyond this project application, we work closely with our amazing
collaborators at Matuku Link, Ark in the Park, and Arataki Visitors Centre.
We share mahi aroha volunteers, mahi tahi on rehoming rehabilitated taonga to
protected sanctuaries (e.g., Matuku's wetland oasis), and partner in outreach
activities (Ruru Night Owls trail walks and Taonga of the evening sky
Bat-detector nights). With Matuku, we hope to grow avian emergency responder
capability- so that residents around Te Henga/ Muriwai have a local option to
advise on their wild bird casualties.
Our hospital records indicate a mixture of indigenous and introduced species
admissions from our local board. Please note, very recently (activated from
19th Feb 2025), BirdCare Aotearoa will focus our efforts on the clinical
rehabilitation of native and endemic species (currently ~30-40% of our intake
are indigenous species). This will ensure excellent services will continue to
the korora penguins, kereru, piwakawaka, tui, Titi Cook's Petrels, Huttons
Shearwater, and other manu tai (sea birds) we receive from the WRLB rohe.
This conservation focus will also enable us to grow our collaborative efforts
with your local community groups and mana whenua, to really elevate regional
health outcomes for birdlife. The budget described herein was calculated
based on our current operations (all wild birds), but many of the expenses
described herein are fixed costs (utilities, medication, PPE, disinfectant
needs etc), while the feed costs are expected to decrease with this revised
strategic focus.
Importantly, Mana whenua aspirations: Our mahi is focussed on clinical
rehabilitation and research, complementing Te Ao Māori principles of manaakitanga
(compassion) and kaitiakitanga. We have had the privilege of
whakawhanaungatanga (connecting) with Te Kawerau ā Maki Tiaki Trust and
Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Toi Taiao (Tautoko attached), to
discuss opportunities for mahi tahi (partnership). An email from Ed Ashby,
Pou Tiaki Te Kawerau Iwi Trust in support of BirdCare's recent native-only
focus explained that "Native birds for us are incredibly important, as a
taonga first and foremost, as a kaitiaki for Te Kawerau ā Maki in the
case of kawaupaka/kawaupaku, as spiritual tohu or messengers linked to Taane,
as vital parts of a thriving ecosystem, as key parts of our maramataka, and
in some cases as a traditional source of kai and feathers." However, our
discussions also highlighted that, to the best of our knowledge, there are no
known Māori avian clinicians. Therefore, we fully support mana whenua
aspirations for ako (bidirectional learning) to develop tinorangatiratanga in
this crucial area This requires significant investment in knowledge exchange
and capability development today- to nurture the avian leaders of tomorrow.
We have applied to Foundation North to support this ako , seeking funding for
Te Kawerau ā Maki as consultants with our hospital managers. We are
truly excited for the outcomes from our mahi tahi. For example, when
discussing malnourished patients admitted to our care, the Toi Taiao
whānau shared mātauranga in plant cycles, to restore appropriate
vegetation for sustaining taonga manu (birds) through the seasons! In
discussions with Te Kawerau iwi Tiaki Trust, the proposal for uri
(descendants) to participate in taonga bird releases led to exciting
discussions in developing opportunities to reconnect disconnected rangatahi
(youth) with their papakainga (ancestral homelands)! That is, returning birds
to nature as a healing strategy to address their own feelings of
displacement!
Agreeing with your environment and community-oriented priorities, we also
present workshops and seminars to residents (e.g., conservation week hui at
Glen Eden library) on ways we can all work to improve habitats for birdlife
in the region.

Māori outcomes:
|
· Māori focus - tikanga (practices),
mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)
BirdCare Aotearoa are committed to honouring the rich history,
mātauranga (knowledge) and kaitiakitanga (guardianship) of tangata
whenua. We are located within the heartland of Te Kawerau ā Maki, and
are growing mahitahi in recognition of their mana whenua and kaitiakitanga.
Consistent with tikanga, our mahi is renowned for manaakitanga (compassion),
and caring for Papatūānuku, Ranginui, and their children Tāne
Mahuta and Tangaroa. Therefore, our works complement tikanga-based approaches
that recognise the wairua and mauri of te taiao (the spirit and life force in
all elements of nature).
|
|
Accessible to people with disabilities
|
Yes - This project is accessible for people of all abilities. We are
committed to ensuring that our mahi is inclusive, and will consult/ work with
any concerned individuals to support their participation. Indeed, our whanau
volunteers and kaimahi includes people who self identify with a diverse range
of physical, social and neurodiversity spectra- and have been commended for
creating a safe space for all to come together to help wild birds in need.
|
|
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: BirdCare Aotearoa is a 100% smoke-free site, as needed
for the welfare of birds. Smokers are asked to exit the premises, for smoking
activities away from aviaries.
*Waste minimisation: We promote food waste-composting, recycling, and
separate soft-plastic waste to return to dedicated facilities. The fruits and
vegetables for liquid feeds are prepared from items that are deemed not
acceptable for supermarket sales. However, once patients have recovered
sufficiently and return to solid feed, they can be very picky of the quality
of fruits and vegetables! Finally, we regularly reuse materials beyond their
primary utility.
*Healthy dietary options: Beyond this project, BirdCare Aotearoa provides
healthy/sustainable snacks & drink options for whanau breaks in the
tearoom.
*Encouraging active lifestyles: 98% of our avian patients are brought in by
members of the community, describing their discovery of the patients while
spending time in active pursuits outdoors (e.g., walking, hiking, cycling,
gardening). Further, as the rehabilitation mahi requires our whanau to walk
between wild bird aviaries in our expansive outdoor premises, we encourage
active lifestyles within their occupation.
*Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience
to the impacts of climate change: While our avian patients typically arrive
by car, we reduce subsequent carbon emissions where possible, by coordinating
post-rehabilitation soft
releases onsite, within our expansive outdoor habitat areas (e.g., rakau/
native plant areas vs shoreline). Note, for territorial species or those
requiring specialist release conditions (e.g., Cook's petrels need elevation
and windy environments to take flight), the post-rehabilitation release
involves driving a few birds at a time- thereby reducing carbon emissions,
with all mileage recorded. Further, as many of the wild bird species we
attend to have established ecological niches in seed dispersal and
pollination, their successful rehabilitation and release extensively
contributes to the growth of carbon-sequestering plant species. On the other
hand, the arrival of many infectious pathogens from remote global sites
reflects the impacts of climate change. The containment/ isolation practises
detailed herein will improve our facilities, empowering BCA to significantly
mitigate future disease
spread through our wider community, and throughout Tamaki Makaurau, and
nationally.
Importantly, we can minimise the spread of infectious agents to taonga
endemic and native birds, and agricultural industries that are essential to
Aotearoa's emotional, social, and economic ora (welfare).

|

Does
your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?
This
project supports the inclusion of all genders, ages, and ethnicities of
Tāmaki Makaurau. Indeed, our community of kaimahi (staff), mahi aroha
(volunteers), and supporters reflect the diverse peoples of WRLB, Hikurangi,
and wider Tāmaki Makaurau. Notably, we see greater female participation
(of staff, volunteers, and supporter community, 79%). We also have ~10%
identifying as gender diverse, which is greater than the 0.5% identified across
Aotearoa in the 2021 Stats NZ Household Economic Survey.
We note however, that the provision of PPE and disinfectants as described in
this application are of particular
benefit to individuals in our community with immune deficiencies and retirees,
thereby reducing their risk of acquiring direct or indirect infections through
BirdCare Aotearoa's mahi.
We do not collect demographic data from our supporters or members of the public
who bring in birds, but these often include retired citizens, or families with
very young children.

Requesting grant for:
|
The total cost of operational expenses (budget summary attached) for
our hospital is budgeted at $127800 per annum. We seek a 12% contribution
from the WRLB ($15,000 maximum value of this grant), but our true caseload is
20% from this rohe. On their recovery, these patients are returned to the
neighborhoods they were rescued from.
|
|
If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
BirdCare Aotearoa is a charity, funded by grants, donations, and very
limited Auckland Council funding. We receive no tax payer/ governmental
support. We are in a precarious financial position. While, as animal lovers,
we have every intention to maintain these services to wild birds and the
wider community, a lack of funding will slow down the operation.
|
|
Cost of participation:
|
There is no cost for bird rescues- to ensure equitable access to
animal welfare services. However, a voluntary donation is gratefully accepted
from the public should they be able to do so.

Lopdell Precinct is a landmark of the Waitākere Ranges Local
Board area and our history is rich. The Titirangi School for Deaf makes up a
large part of the heritage of this building and the wider village.
Protecting and celebrating heritage is a way to identify what is unique about
our area, and to inform what happens to it in the future.

· The heritage of our people, places and
buildings is recognised and valued
From 1942 until 1960, Lopdell House was a residential school for deaf
children. It served all deaf school-aged children born north of New Plymouth
and Gisborne.
The reunion is is expected to draw around 80-100 people, made up of
ex-students and their support people, all of whom will be delighted to share
in a morning of reconnecting, reminiscing and honouring their history.
Lopdell trust has no doubt that Kevin will deliver a quality event that
celebrates the rich history of Lopdell House and Schools for Deaf. We look
forward to hosting Kevin and fellow students as they strengthen their bonds
and whakawhanaunga in their shared heritage.

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
Waitakere Ranges 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 and to know what to expect and how to foster a
healthy employment relationship.
|
|
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 the Waitakere Ranges and ensure
we are providing our services to the rangatahi in your area.

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:
|
|
|
Waitākere
Ranges
· Economic wellbeing for rangatahi
Early job experiences shape our career paths. Negative ones can limit
future success. Young workers often enter the workplace in jobs which are
part-time, casual, and unstable and are often small to medium businesses.
Often these roles are associated with having poor employment practices and
precarious working conditions. By facilitating our workshops, we will empower
Waitakere Rangatahi with their rights in the workplace before or as they
enter the workforce.
We equip rangatahi with the necessary skills to avoid and handle possible
exploitation at work, and we prepare 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.

delivering
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 accessible for all abilities
and learning types. We focus on being flexible and are able to modify our
workshops to suit the audience we are delivering too. Our facilitators are
also experienced in presenting to a variety of audiences and when new staff
are brought on, we upskill them to be as inclusive as possible as part of
their onboarding training.

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.
We do try to collaborate with community organisations where possible and have
worked with Rainbow Youth and various migrant/refugee organisations in the
past.

If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
If this local board is unable to support our project, we hope to
still receive funding from other local boards. the amendment would involve
focusing our efforts to build relationships with various school based in the
regions of the local boards which provide us funding. If we are unable to
raise enough funds this year, we will not be able to hire an Auckland based

Summary:
|
Neighbourhood garden has been operating for 15 years and is in need
of a general tidy-up removing material that is non-recyclable and which
encroaches on parts of the garden that can be more productive. The small shed
that we all self-funded is now full of tools and over-flow equipment is
stored in plot-holder's private garages, meaning that it's largely
inacessible if that family is not home. It's also significantly
inconvenient. We're applying for modest funding to remove unusable and
unwanted material from the garden by using a flexibin, and seeking funding
for a small, shed to store the overflow materials. We'll assemble the
shed ourselves on site.
|
|
Expertise:
|
We've been managing and caring for the garden successfully for some
15 years. Initially we funded and built the beds and pathways
ourselves. Recently, with Council support we've installed trellising at the
front, built paved steps in the garden to make it safer for the older plot
holders, some of whom are in their 80's, and built a wooden and wire mesh
berry cage to prevent birds stealing the produce. Some members have
experience in assembling flat pack garden shed. We're comfortable that we can
assemble and secure the shed on a stable foundation.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:
|
|
|
Fruit and vegetables supplement the grocery costs for pensioners.
Learning about composting, gardening, irrigation, plant pest and diseases,
plant propagation to reduce costs through cuttings, layering and dividing,
cooking and recipe sharing. Physical activities
done safely, Social events for the local residents, food sharing. Social
engagement and keeping an idea on our local residents. An interesting site
for local children to visit. Community messaging about recycling and re-using
where possible. Companionship for
people who live alone, outing for those living in a retirement village now
but who were co-founders of the garden. Many of the group are elderly and so
regular gardening events provide opportunities to check in with others making
sure they're o.k. or identifying if support is needed. It provides learning
opportunities for those who have not gardened before in an organic context.
Some gardeners have formed a music band which entertains at Xmas and other
local garden events. There is food and information sharing which builds a
sense of community. The applicant has completed a Cert. Horticulture to
provide advice and share knowledge with other gardeners. The garden also
maintains rat and possum traps in the abutting bush area supplied by the Council
Twin Streams Project.

Alignment with local board priorities:
|

Waitākere
Ranges
· To enhance the health, wellbeing and
resilience of local communities
A neighbourhood garden which provides opportunities for contributors
to grow their own food to supplement the rising costs of grocery shopping.
It's organic, environmentally friendly, supports a rat and possum trap,
recycles and reuses anything it can, and is self-sufficient in irrigation and
composting. Apart from food it provides social support, physical activities
and companionship for mainly older residents. The garden has learned to
prune, compost, identify and manage pests organically. Produce is shared
across participants and gardening knowledge is also shared. Throughout the
year the gardeners arrange social events for residents in the street who are
not gardeners but who want to be part of their street community. It allows us
to keep an eye n each other.
Supporting
Food grown is organic, as pest-free as we can make it. We've learned over the
15 years that garden has been going that we can self-learn about growing and
preparing food. Planting tips, recipe sharing and plant care are all shared.
Produce taken from the garden is not sprayed, does not require any packaging,
processing or addition of chemicals except organic fertilizers and our own
compost. We share food with each other and give it away as well. Herbs at the
front are available for use by passers-by, but this garden is being
rejuvenated and replanted at the moment and work on this continues.

Accessible to people with disabilities
|
Yes - Garden has been designed to be flat, with raised beds and
hardly any steps. A gravel path allows wheel-chair access to the bottom part
of the garden which elderly gardeners also use because the garden can be
slippery off the path. One plot has a family member with a disability
requiring wheel-chair access. This project will increase accessibility making
the pathway safer. Many plot holders are elderly and the paved and
gravel surfaces reduce risks of slipping on unsurfaced ground particularly in
winter.

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*
As far as we are aware no participant is a smoker and we would
discourage that at the site
if it occurred. Plant waste is recycled as compost, as are weeds in
weed-bags, separated
from non-weed compost. Noxious plants eg. Ivy, agapantha etc are eliminated
form the
garden. All food is freshly produced in the garden in an organic approach.
All celebrations have water and fruit-juice available as there are many
non-drinkers of alcohol. Gardening
requires physical exertion, mowing the lawns, pruning, digging, hoeing,
turning compost, raking etc. Irrigation is gravity feed without a pump. Most
food eaten on site is organic, and often it's sourced from the garden
itself. Processed food is not usually evident.

Does

If part funded, how would you make up the
difference:
We would hold off on the shelving and keep storing tools and
equipment in private garages. We need the rubbish removal as some of it
is public dumping or from a vacated nearby property. e.g. tyres. I've
used our own Council bins a bit, but this is slow as only one plot-holder
(me!) is proximate enough to use our bins.

We appreciate the support the Waitakere Board has provided over the
years. We've accessed Eco Matters for expert advice and acknowledge that
rate-payers part-fund this project, so always keep our requests as modest as
we can. We're mindful that support is a
privilege and not an entitlement. If approved, we look forward to sharing
before and after photos of the project. We've used old carpet as a
pathway but it rotted and had to be disposed of, we've used mulch, but it
doesn't last and isn't
really effective. Every organic pathway eventually rots and
becomes slippery on this sloping site.

We have started working in a more connected way with Te Kawerau ā maki -
developing education programmes to deliver to youth - we seek financial
support to further develop this programme and look at other areas of cultural
competency across the organisation. We are also seeking funding to bring in
external support for our Governance Committee to look at developing a high performing
board to support the gallery.

Expertise:
|
The Gallery has historically worked with Te Kawerau ā Maki on a
case by case basis - we are looking to extend this relationship and deepen
our ability to deliver programmes that are connected to where we are located
Te Wao Nui a Tiriwa. We are also seeking support for our Governance Committee
- the success of an organisation can be limited by the capabilities of it's
board. We are looking to develop the current boards governance
capabilities and support the development of a high performing board for Te
Uru.

Education programmes so that all local schools visiting get to learn about
the region and the local iwi through a visual art pepeha project. By
developing a hands on project that we can share with so many young visitors
we hope to assist Te Kawerau ā Maki in sharing this knowledge. By having
a strong board we ensure that Te Uru will continue to be a stable and well -
supported organisation to continue the work we do for the community and
economic development in the region.

Summary:
|
The Crescendo Trust of Aotearoa is seeking funds towards our lease
costs.
Following Crescendo’s feasibility study in 2023, it was identified that
relocating to the Henderson area
would support predicted growth in our target audiences, resulting in
geographic accessibility.
The Te Puna Creative Hub in Henderson (where Crescendo is now located) is a
collaboration between Tātaki
Auckland Unlimited (TAU) and west Auckland-based iwi local,Te Kawerau ā
Maki.
|
|
Expertise:
|
Crescendo has been delivering music mentoring programmes for young
people in Auckland for over 10 years. Over that time we have evolved our
programmes to best meet the needs of the rangatahi we serve. We have
carefully designed the four stages of our programmes to provide a clear and
structured pathway for young people to transition into the creative
industries. Over the last 10 years, we have worked with over 3,000 young
people. Of those, over 85% have transitioned into further education, training
or employment.

Waitākere
Ranges
· A network of vibrant arts and culture
organisations, facilities and events that enliven the west
Crescendo provides music mentoring and wellbeing for young people in
Auckland. As we are based in West Auckland most of our rangatahi are from
these local communities. Our mentors help rangatahi to discover and grow
their creative talents and learn to express themselves through music. We
provide a safe and nurturing space that helps to foster a sense of belonging.
Our Music Mentoring Programmes provide a creative learning journey from our
foundation programme developing music and audio production through to our
apprenticeship programme providing vocational skills training to rangatahi
through apprenticeships in
Crescendo Studio to gain hands-on experience working on live audio jobs.
We regularly participate in local events with our rangatahi often performing
at events such as the Whau Youth Festival and the Matariki Whau Festival.
These events provide opportunities for our young people to showcase their
talents in the community and build self-confidence, resilience and pride.
They also contribute to the community identity and provide access to the arts
for the local communities.
In Crescendo's new location (Te Puna Creative Hub) our rangatahi will be able
to access Crescendo’s facilities and programmes more frequently, they
will have a larger more comfortable space with access to shared communal
spaces (café, kitchen, outdoors, theatre, live production, meeting
space), public transport and wider community activities.
We also offer opportunities for our young people to use state of the art
equipment free of charge, ensuring that they are trained on industry level
equipment, this assists with their development and opportunities.

which align with the outcomes identified in the local board plan. The new
Waitākere Ranges Local Board Grants Programme has been workshopped with

Climate impact statement
10. 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. Local
board grants can contribute to climate action through the support of projects
that address food production and food waste; alternative transport methods;
community energy efficiency education and behaviour change; build community
resilience and support tree planting.

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

unit will provide input and advice. The main focus of an application is
identified as arts, community, events, sport and recreation, environment, or

File No.: CP2025/05880
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To
adopt the Waitākere Ranges Play Plan 2025, which provides guidance on
emerging play issues and opportunities for non-playground play projects.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The
Waitākere Ranges Play Plan 2025 provides Waitākere Ranges 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 Waitākere Ranges 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 Waitākere Ranges 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 Waitākere Ranges Local Board adopt the
Waitākere Ranges Play Plan 2025 and use it as a resource for the future
development of play.
Ngā tūtohunga
Recommendation/s
That the Waitākere Ranges
Local Board:
a) whai /
adopt the Waitākere Ranges Play Plan as set out in Attachment A to the
agenda 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 the design
and maintenance of playgrounds.
9. Staff
engaged with Waitākere Ranges Local Board at various workshops in 2023. A
play advocacy activity was included in the local board’s annual work
programme in the 2023/2024 financial year.
10. In the
2023/2024 work programme, staff committed to delivering a ‘play
plan’ for Waitākere Ranges 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 Waitākere Ranges Play Plan 2025 was circulated to the local
board in December 2024. A workshop was held in February 2025 to receive elected
member feedback, which was incorporated into the final draft. Staff are seeking
adoption of the plan which is attached to the report as Attachment A.

Analysis and advice
12. The
Waitākere Ranges Play Plan 2025 (‘the play plan’) is aligned
with the Waitākere Ranges 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 Waitākere Ranges 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 Waitākere Ranges, 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 Waitākere Ranges
Play Plan 2025, which is action-focused; and the Waitākere Ranges 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.

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.

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.

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 Waitākere Ranges 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 Waitākere
Ranges. Analysis of the local board’s demographic data has contributed to
staff advice to Waitākere Ranges Local Board.
Tauākī whakaaweawe
Māori
Māori impact statement
27. The play plan
references the Māori outcomes identified in the Waitākere Ranges
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.

Financial implications
29. Although the
play plan includes 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.

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

Allocation
of decision-making responsibilities for council-controlled organisation
activities coming in house
File No.: CP2025/07260
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.
Ngā tūtohunga
Recommendation/s
That the Waitākere Ranges
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.
Horopaki
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 development – increasing
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.

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

· 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.

decisions, which can be allocated to local boards, reflected in the
allocation table.

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 –

proposed)

· Auckland-wide and city centre

· Business

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.

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.

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.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
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.

Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
3. Staff
have prepared a summary of public feedback to enable the local board to provide
its views on how the Panel should address public feedback from people in the
local board area to the proposal to amend matters of regional significance in
the Dog Policy and Bylaw.
4. The Governing Body adopted a proposal to amend matters of regional
significance in the Kaupapa mo ngā Kurī | Policy on Dogs 2019
and Ture a Rohe Tiakina Kurī | Dog Management Bylaw 2019
in December 2024, and appointed a Dog Policy and Bylaw Panel to consider all
public feedback and make recommendations, before a final decision is made.
5. The
proposal
to adopt an amended policy
and bylaw
seeks to improve council’s approach to dog management in Auckland by minimising the risk of danger and distress to people, stock,
poultry, domestic animals and protected wildlife, nuisance to people, damage to
property and environment, risk of not meeting the needs of dogs and their
owners and the inherent risk of conflict between users of shared spaces in
Auckland.
6. Council
received responses from 5,207 people and organisations at the close of feedback
on 23 February 2025. All public feedback is summarised in Attachment A.

8. Staff
recommend that the local board provide its views on how the Panel should
address feedback from people in the local board area, and if it wishes, present
those views to the Panel. Taking this approach will assist the Panel in making
recommendations to the Governing Body about whether to adopt the proposal.
9. There
is a reputational risk that the feedback from the local board area is from a
limited group of people and does not reflect the views of the whole community.
This report mitigates this risk by providing local boards with a summary of all
public feedback.
10. Local boards
can (if they wish) present their views to the Panel on 23 May 2025. The Panel
will consider local board views and all public feedback before making recommendations
to the Governing Body in June 2025. The Governing Body will make a final
decision mid-2025.

Horopaki
Context
The local board has an opportunity to
provide its views on public feedback
11. The local
board in accordance with council’s collaborative governance model[1] now has an
opportunity to provide its views on how the Governing Body Dog Policy and Bylaw
Panel should address public feedback from people in the local board area to the
proposal.
12. Local board
views must be provided by resolution to the Panel. The local board can also
choose to present those views to the Panel at a meeting scheduled for 23 May
2025.
13. The nature of
the local board views is at the discretion of the local board but must remain
within the scope of the proposal and public feedback. For example, the local
board:
ü could
indicate support for matters raised in public feedback
ü could
recommend how the Policy and Bylaw Panel address matters raised in public
feedback
û should
not express its views on the proposal itself (that opportunity was provided
prior to public consultation, the focus now is on how to respond to public
feedback).
Council is required to have a policy
on dogs and a bylaw to implement the policy
14. The Dog
Control Act 1996 requires Auckland Council to have a policy on dogs and a bylaw
to give effect to it by specifying rules that dog owners must comply with.
15. Council’s
objective is to ‘keep dogs a positive part of the life of
Aucklanders’ by:
· maintaining
opportunities for owners to take their dogs to public places
· adopting
measures to minimise the problems caused by dogs (including by promoting
responsible dog ownership)
· protecting
dogs from harm and ensuring their welfare.
16. The rules are
enforced by the Animal Management unit using a modern regulator approach to
compliance (for example information, education and enforcement).
17. The policy
and bylaw are part of a wider regulatory framework that includes the following:
· The
Dog Control Act 1996 manages matters relating to dog ownership, including their
care, control and owner responsibilities for damage caused by their dog.
· The
Animal Welfare Act 1999 ensures that owners of animals and persons in charge of
animals attend properly to the welfare of the animal.
· The
Code of Welfare for Dogs 2018 provides information to the owners and persons in
charge of dogs about the standards they must achieve to meet their obligations
under the Animal Welfare Act 1999.
The Governing Body proposed
amending matters of regional significance in the policy and bylaw for public
feedback
18. On 12
December 2024, the Governing Body adopted a proposal to amend matters of
regional significance in the Auckland Council Kaupapa no ngā Kurī / Policy on Dogs 2019
and Ture ā Rohe Tiakina Kurī / Dog Management Bylaw 2019
(GB/2024/181).
It also appointed a Dog Policy and Bylaw Panel to consider all public feedback
and make recommendations, before a final decision is made by the Governing
Body.
19. The proposal
arose from a statutory review of the Dog Policy and Bylaw (see figure below).
20. The proposal
seeks to improve council’s approach to dog management in Auckland by
minimising the risk of danger and distress to people, stock, poultry, domestic
animals and protected wildlife, nuisance to people, damage to property and
environment, risk of not meeting the needs of dogs and their owners from
irresponsible dog ownership and the inherent risk of conflict between users of
shared spaces in Auckland.
21. The main
proposals are outlined in the Table below:
|

Analysis and advice
24.
A total of 216 people from the Waitākere Ranges Local Board area
provided feedback to the proposal.
25. There was majority support for proposals to
reorganise, simplify and clarify Policy and Bylaw content, split support
for proposals to change or clarify dog access rules at
Tāpapakanga, Ambury, Muriwai, Tāwharanui, and Wenderholm Regional
Parks, and to clarify dog access rules on Tūpuna Maunga, and majority
opposition for the proposal to limit the number of dogs walked and the
remaining proposals to change or clarify dog access rules at other regional
parks.
26.
Key themes from the Auckland-wide feedback highlighted concerns with
limiting the number of dogs and clarifying or changing the dog access rules at
most of the regional parks.
27.
While some proposals may not be supported, public feedback also seeks
alternatives other than the status quo. For example:
·
for Proposal 1: limit to number of dogs walked, of the 66 per
cent (2,397) of Auckland-wide feedback opposed to the proposal:
o
six per cent (146) supported a limit of four dogs, with no more
than two off-leash
o
five per cent (113) supported a limit of four dogs, with no more
than two off-leash unless licence obtained
o
four per cent (100) supported a limit of eight dogs, with no more
than four off-leash
o
638 comments (around 30 per cent) supported introducing a dog
walker license for qualified dog walkers.
·
for proposed changes to regional park rules, Auckland-wide individuals
who opposed the changes:
o
generally wanted council to provide more dog-friendly or
off-leash areas
o
some were not opposing the proposals, but instead expressing the
view that the current rules are too restrictive.

30. The Dog
Policy and Bylaw do not directly address the climate change goals in Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland's Climate Plan.
For example, the Policy and Bylaw focuses more on keeping dogs as a positive
part of the lives of Aucklanders.
31. There are no
implications for climate change arising from decisions sought in this report.

Public
feedback on proposed changes to cemetery bylaw
File No.: CP2025/07453
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek local board views on how the Governing Body Bylaw Panel should
address public feedback from people in the local
board area to the proposal to amend Auckland Council’s Cemeteries and
Crematoria Bylaw and to revoke the Code of Practice.
2. To
delegate one or more board members to present those views to the Cemeteries and Crematoria Bylaw Panel.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
3. Staff
have prepared a summary of public feedback to enable the local board to provide
its views on how the Panel should address public feedback from people in the
local board area to the proposal to amend the Cemeteries and
Crematoria Bylaw and revoke the Code.
4. The
Governing Body adopted a proposal to amend the Auckland Council Ture ā-Rohe mo ngā Wāhi Tapu me ngā Whare Tahu
Tupāpaku | Cemeteries
and Crematoria Bylaw 2014 and to revoke the Arataki
Tikanga mo ngā Wāhi Tapu me ngā Whare Tahu Tupāpaku | Cemeteries
and Crematoria Code of Practice 2014.
5. The
proposal seeks to improve council’s administrative
efficiency, and to better minimise public safety risks, cemetery misuse,
obstruction, and damage to property, heritage and the environment through
structural changes to the Bylaw and Code framework.
6. Council
received responses from 33 people and organisations at the close of feedback on
23 February 2025. All feedback is summarised by the following topics:
· Proposal
1: Use a bylaw to set cemetery rules and to revoke the Code of Practice.
· Proposal
2: Clarify when council approval is required (2A) and to clarify rules about
adornments (2B), maintenance (2C), preparing a casket or shroud for burial and
cremation (2D) and monument work and physical works (2E).
· Proposal
3: Update the bylaw structure, definitions, and wording for clarity.
7. Staff
recommend that the local board provide its views on how the appointed Governing Body Cemeteries and Crematoria Bylaw Panel should
address feedback from people in the local board area. Taking this approach will
assist the Panel in making recommendations to the Governing Body about whether
to adopt the proposal.
8. There
is a reputational risk that the feedback from the local board area is from a
limited number of people and does not reflect the views of the whole community.
This report mitigates this risk by providing local boards with a summary of all
public feedback.
9. Local
boards can (if they wish) present their views to the Panel on 13 June 2025. The
Panel will consider board views and all public feedback before making
recommendations to the Governing Body in June 2025. The Governing Body will
make a final decision in mid-2025
Ngā tūtohunga
Recommendation/s
That the Waitākere Ranges
Local Board:
a) tūtohi
/ receive the public feedback from people in the local board area to the
Governing Body proposal to amend the Auckland Council Ture
ā-Rohe mo ngā Wāhi Tapu me ngā Whare Tahu Tupāpaku | Cemeteries
and Crematoria Bylaw 2014 (Bylaw) and to
revoke Arataki Tikanga mo ngā Wāhi Tapu me ngā Whare Tahu
Tupāpaku | Cemeteries
and Crematoria Code of Practice 2014 (Code) in the agenda report.
b) whakarato / provide its views on how the
Governing Body Cemeteries and Crematoria Bylaw Panel should address public
feedback to the proposal in (a) to assist the Panel in its deliberations.
c) whakatuu
/ appoint one or more local board members to present the views in (b) to
the Governing Body Cemeteries and Crematoria Bylaw Panel.
d) tuku
mana / delegate authority to the local board chair to appoint a replacement to any appointed member in (c) who
is unable to present to the Panel.
Horopaki
Context
The local board has an opportunity
to provide its views on public feedback
10. The local
board in accordance with council’s collaborative governance model[2] now has an
opportunity to provide its views on how the Governing Body
Bylaw Panel should address public feedback from people in the local
board area to the proposal.
11. Local board
views must be provided by resolution to the Panel. The local board can also
choose to present those views to the Panel at a meeting scheduled for 13 June
2025.
12. The nature of
the local board views is at the discretion of the local board but must remain
within the scope of the proposal and public feedback. For example, the local
board:
ü could indicate support for matters raised in public feedback
ü could recommend how the Policy and Bylaw Panel address matters
raised in public feedback
û should
not express its views on the proposal itself (that opportunity was provided
prior to public consultation, the focus now is on how to respond to public
feedback).
The Bylaw and Code help
to manage council cemeteries and crematoria
13. To help
manage council cemeteries and crematoria, council uses the Ture
ā-Rohe mo ngā Wāhi Tapu me ngā Whare Tahu Tupāpaku | Cemeteries
and Crematoria Bylaw 2014 (Bylaw) and
Arataki Tikanga mo ngā Wāhi Tapu me ngā Whare Tahu Tupāpaku
| Cemeteries
and Crematoria Code of Practice 2014 (Code).
14. The Bylaw and Code seek to minimise public safety risks,
cemetery misuse, distress to families, obstruction, and damage to property,
heritage and the environment at council cemeteries and crematoria (not for example, ash scattering in public
places).
15. Council operates
approximately 29 active (operational) and 26 inactive (no new
plots for sale; no longer in regular use; function as local parks) cemeteries. This includes cemeteries with crematoria at Waikumete, Manukau
Memorial Gardens and North Shore Memorial Park.
16. The Governing Body has delegated authority to make, amend and revoke
the Code to the Regulatory and Safety Committee, and to administer the Bylaw
and Code to cemetery and Aotea Great Barrier Island staff and the Waikumete
Urupā Komiti.[3]
17. The Bylaw and Code form part of a wider
regulatory and strategic framework including the:
· Burial and Cremation Act 1964 that enables council to provide cemetery services
· Cremation Regulations 1973 that regulates cremations
· Health
(Burial) Regulations 1946 that regulates funeral directors, mortuaries, burials
at sea, handling and transportation of dead bodies and approved disinfectants
· Burial and
Cremation (Removal of Monuments and Tablets) Regulation 1967 that provides for
the removal of dilapidated or neglected monuments and tablets
· Auckland Unitary Plan[4] that regulates activities at cemeteries to protect heritage[5], meet the needs of
the community, maintain or enhance the local environment and amenity values and
to protect conservation values and natural qualities of open space conservation
zones (which include non-operational cemeteries).
The Governing Body has proposed amending the Bylaw and
revoking the Code
18. On 12
December 2024, the Governing Body adopted a proposal to amend the Bylaw and revoke the Code for public consultation (GB/2024/182). A Cemeteries and Crematoria
Bylaw Panel was appointed to consider all public feedback and make
recommendations to the Governing Body before a final decision is made (RSCCC/2024/82).
19. The proposal arose from a statutory review of the Bylaw and Code (see Figure below).
20. The proposal
seeks to improve council’s administrative efficiency,
and to better minimise public safety risks, cemetery misuse, obstruction, and
damage to property, heritage and the environment through structural changes to
the Bylaw and Code framework.
21. Main
proposals in comparison to the current Bylaw and Code are outlined in the table
below.
|
Main proposals
|
|
Use a
bylaw to
set cemetery rules in a way that allows cemetery staff to manage the daily
operation of council cemeteries and crematoria, and to revoke the Code of
Practice.
|
|
Clarify
rules about
when council approval is required and about adornments, maintenance, and
preparing a casket for burial and cremation.
|
|
Update the bylaw
structure, definitions, and wording for clarity.
|
22. The proposal
was publicly notified for feedback from 20 January until 23 February 2025.
Council received feedback from 31 people and two organisations (total of 32).
Tātaritanga me ngā
tohutohu
Analysis and advice
23. A total of one person from the Waitākere
Ranges local board area
provided feedback to the proposal.
24. There was majority
support for all three proposals. There was no feedback in opposition to the
proposals.
25. This is consistent with the Auckland-wide feedback where
there was majority support for all three proposals.

copy of all public feedback related to the local board area is in Attachment
B.
Staff recommend the local board provide its views on public
feedback
27. Staff recommend that the local board provide its views on
how the Governing Body Panel should address public feedback from people in the local board area to the
proposal by resolution, and if it
wishes, present those views to the Panel on 13 June 2025.
Tauākī whakaaweawe
āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
23. The
proposal does not directly address the climate change goals in Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland's Climate Plan.
For example, the proposal focuses on ensuring that memorials do not cause
safety risks and adornments do not obstruct maintenance, rather than regulating
the climate impact of common practices. There are no implications for climate
change arising from decisions sought in this report.
Ngā whakaaweawe me
ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
24. The
proposed changes impact the Cemetery Services and the Aotea Great Barrier
Island service centre which provide council cemetery services.
25. Relevant
staff input was sought to inform the statutory bylaw review, options and
proposal, and staff are aware of the impacts of the changes and their
implementation role.
Ngā whakaaweawe
ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
26. Based
on the agreed principles and processes in the Local Board Involvement in
Regional Policy, Plans and Bylaws 2019, views from interested local boards were
sought on draft options and proposal.
27. In
October and November 2024, 12 interested local boards provided formal views on
draft options and a proposal. A summary of local board views can be viewed in
the 3 December 2024 Regulatory and Safety Committee agenda (Attachment C to Item 10).
28. This report
provides an opportunity to give local board views on how the Governing Body Cemeteries and Crematoria Bylaw Panel should address matters
raised in public feedback to the proposal, before a final decision is made.
Tauākī whakaaweawe
Māori
Māori impact statement
29. The
proposal supports whanaungatanga, rangatiratanga, manaakitanga and kaitiakitanga in Houkura / the
Independent Māori Statutory Board’s Māori
Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau and the Schedule
of Issues of Significance by providing regulation that supports council services to
meet social, cultural and physical needs, and supports the role of the
Waikumete Urupā Komiti (Komiti) at Te Urupā o Waikumete (Waikumete
Cemetery).[6]
30. Mana whenua
and mataawaka were notified of the proposal and given the opportunity to
provide feedback through face-to-face meetings, in writing, online and
in-person.
31. Six per cent
(two) of the total responders identified as Māori.
32. Both
supported the proposal to amend the Bylaw, remove the Code, update the Bylaw
structure, definitions and wording and to clarify rules about when council
approval is required and about adornments, maintenance, and preparing a casket
for burial and cremation.
33. One disagreed
with clarifying the rules about monument and physical works, noting that other
cultures may disagree with what is a culturally acceptable New Zealand monument
and suggested that a maximum size be placed on monuments to ensure compliance.
34. Both
commented on the adornments. One about the mess associated with plastic
adornments, and the other about what are suitable materials to hold flowers.

Proposed
changes to the draft Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau: Auckland Open Space, Sport
and Recreation Strategy
File No.: CP2025/06379
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 Waitākere Ranges
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 CP2025/06379
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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
