1            Apologies and conflicts of Interest

Members need to stand aside from decision-making when a conflict arises between their role as a Member of the Community Board and any private or other external interest they might have. This note is provided as a reminder to Members to review the matters on the agenda and assess and identify where they may have a pecuniary or other conflict of interest, or where there may be a perception of a conflict of interest.

If a Member feels they do have a conflict of interest, they should publicly declare that at the start of the meeting or of the relevant item of business and refrain from participating in the discussion or voting on that item. If a Member thinks they may have a conflict of interest, they can seek advice from the Chief Executive Officer or the Team Leader Governance Support (preferably before the meeting).

It is noted that while members can seek advice the final decision as to whether a conflict exists rests with the member.

Rent: $100 plus GST per annum

Renewal: 5 years

b)      That the clubroom toilets are open to the public only when the leased area is       open to the public and the clubroom is open and unlocked

 

 

 

1) Background

This matter was last before the Te Hiku Community Board on 1 March 2018 when the Board resolved to initiate the public consultation process in respect of the lease proposal (Report A1976220 refers).

The Cable Bay recreation reserve was vested in the Mangonui County Council as recreation reserve in 1977. In 1989, the control and ownership passed to Far North District Council as part of the local government reform process. 

The old 2003 lease to the Club expired in 2013 and the Club has approached Council for a new lease. There was no renewal term in the old lease but the Club has continued to pay the annual rent for the use of the reserve since it expired.

The old lease required the clubroom toilets be made available to the public when the leased area was open to the public; this was consistent with Council’s leases of reserves to sport clubs.

The Club has asked that if a new lease is granted, the toilets be made available to the public only when the clubroom building is open.  As the Club does not want to leave the building open unless a Club member is present, it has asked Council to consider the following:

“The problem the Club has is that the only toilets are within the Club building which contains equipment and which the Club does not want to leave open unless Club members are present.  Is it possible please…to [instead] provide that the toilets are to be made available when the leased area is open for use by the public and the Club building open and unlocked…?”

The reality of the current situation is the reserve (i.e. the proposed lease area) is only open to the public when the Club is open which is on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.

The Cable Bay public toilets are located approximately 500 metres from the clubroom. The Club maintains the reserve and the clubroom building is kept in good repair. No objections in relation to the Club’s proposed restrictions on the use of the clubroom toilets were received. In these particular circumstances, Council’s Facilities Operations staff have no concerns about the toilets being made available to the public only on Wednesday and Saturday mornings when the clubroom is open and unlocked.

 

 

2) Discussion and Options

Reserves Act

Section 54 of the Reserves Act 1977 (“the Act”) authorises Council to grant leases of recreation reserves.  This must be done with the prior consent of the Minister of Conservation unless the proposed lease conforms to a current reserve management plan. There is presently no reserve management plan in place.  

The Northland Conservator used to exercise the Minister’s powers under delegated authority.  However in 2013 the Minister delegated to Council the power to consent to the granting of leases of vested reserves for the purposes specified in s54 of the ActSections 119 and 120 of the Act require that before granting this lease the proposal must be publicly notified and all submissions/objections to the proposal are to be in writing and where requested, a submitter must be given the opportunity to appear before Council or a committee of Council, to speak to their objection/submission.  Every submission/objection in relation to the proposal must be considered before proceeding with the proposal. 

Council delegations: the role of the Board vs the role of the Council

Council’s delegations to Community Boards authorise the Boards to hold hearings of submissions received as a result of consultative procedures other than an Annual or Long-Term Plan, and to provide recommendations to the Council in respect of applications for the use and/or lease of reserves not contemplated by an existing reserve management plan.    

The Te Hiku Community Board is therefore invited to consider and deliberate upon the submissions received (see attached list of submissions), and then make a recommendation to Council in respect of the proposal.   

The Council will be required to consider the Board’s recommendation and make the final decision regarding the proposal.  This involves two decisions: one from the standpoint of the Council as the administering body for the reserve, and the other from the standpoint of the Council as the Minister of Conservation’s delegate.

In its role as the administering body of the reserve, the Council will be required to consider the merits of the proposal, and every submission and objection, taking into account any recommendation from the Community Board, before deciding whether to grant the lease.

In its role as the Minister’s delegate, the Council will need to ensure that correct processes have been followed under the Act; that any submissions and objections have been considered, and that on the basis of the evidence the decision is a reasonable one, before consenting to the granting of the lease.

Council Policies

Council’s Reserves Policy requires consultation with iwi and other stakeholder groups, as appropriate, regarding the management, development and use of reserves and parks.

Under Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy, the proposed decision to lease the reserve is considered to be of low significance.  The land is not a strategic asset under the policy.  The degree of consultation required by the Act also satisfies policy requirements.

Option 1 (recommended option)

The Te Hiku Community Board may decide to recommend that a new lease be granted to the Club on the terms publicly notified, and to further recommend that the toilets in the clubroom building are made available to the public only when the clubroom is open and unlocked. This is the preferred option.

Option 2

Alternatively, the Te Hiku Community Board may decide that the reserve should not be leased to the Club and could recommend that this lease application is declined. 

Reason for the recommendation

The Club would like to continue using the reserve to play croquet. This activity fits squarely within the designated purpose of this reserve, which purpose includes the playing of outdoor sports, games or other recreational activities, and to enable the public to obtain the benefit and enjoyment of the reserve.

It also accords with the statement in the current Long-Term Plan that “Council contributes to community development and the general health of the community through the provision and maintenance of recreational facilities, encouraging the use of these facilities, supporting the community to develop appropriate facilities, and supporting events that will contribute to community well-being”.

Further, all submissions received as a result of the public consultation indicated support for a new lease to be granted to the Club. The proposed change in relation to restricting the availability of the clubroom toilets to when the building is open and unlocked was included in the public consultation information pack and no objections to this aspect of the lease proposal were made. In reality the present situation is that the reserve is only open when the Club is open, two mornings per week.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

The Club maintains the reserve and buildings (as shown on the attached aerial plan) and Council pays the sewage and water charges.

Spraying

The Kaitaia Drainage Area was sprayed over the late summer period and was completed in April. The total cost of spraying was $54,349 across all the Kaitaia Drainage Area compartments. The general and invasive weed contingency were not used which were $6,000 and $3,500 respectively.

As part of the Kaitaia Drain Status Report 2018, the spraying contractor has identified several drains which require further work, spraying or machine cleaning, these drains are noted in the 18/19 Programme.

Machine cleaning

In the Kaitaia Drainage Area there has been a relatively small amount of machine cleaning. To date the following drains have been cleaned:

·    Hoddles Drain – Thick weed and silt build up - $350

·    Wireless Drain – Incorrect grade causing water to pool in the large culvert – Extensive clean $6,790

·    Lisle Drain – Silt build up – Cleaned privately by Joe King

Reason for the recommendation

To advise the Te Hiku Community Board of the expenditure and closing balance for the year.

6.3         Kaitaia Drainage Area 18/19 Programme

File Number:           A2226215

Author:                    Troy Smith, Assistant Engineer

Authoriser:             Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management

 

Purpose of the Report

To seek approval from the Te Hiku Community Board of the proposed works and costs for the 2018/19 financial year.

Executive Summary

Over the 2018/19 financial year, the Far North District Council wishes to complete a selection of drainage area works. The work includes spraying, cleaning, access maintenance and status reporting of the drains. It is recommended a budget of $81,231 is allocated to cover the required and potential work.

 

Recommendation

That the Te Hiku Community Board approve the reviewed 2018/19 work programme for the Kaitaia Drainage Area.

 

1) Background

The founding of the Kaitaia Drainage Area dates back to 1913 where the Kaitaia Land Drainage Act was adopted with the exception that a board of trustees was to be applied.

The Kaitaia Drainage Area Committee was formally established at the 22 February 2016 meeting of the Te Hiku Community Board at the request of the members of the Kaitaia Drainage Management Committee.

The works programme for the 2018/19 financial year has been estimated from previous costs

2) Discussion and Options

Across Kaitaia Drainage Area, there are several points which require work. This section details the work currently programmed and it is intended that the 2018/19 work programme is reviewed and changed accordingly.

2.1 Proposed work programme summary

Work is to be completed before 30 June 2019, with the spraying programme to start during late 2018:

Planned Work & Allowances:

Status report on the drains

$1,200

Spraying of the Kaitaia drains (breakdown in section 2.2)

$53,531

Alligator weed spraying

$3,000

Machine Cleaning Contingency

$13,000

Access Track Improvements

$7,500

General Contingency

$3,000

Total

$81,231

2.2 General maintenance within the work programme

Spraying

Spraying of the Kaitaia Area is to be completed during late Spring / early Summer, 2018/19. Any additional spraying will be included as a contingency.

If an area has Alligator weed issues, the current spray will have little effect on it. For cases that greatly affect the water flow machine cleaning maybe required otherwise the below may be appropriate:

An EPA “Permission for Use of Substances” & Northland Regional Council consent is required specific to the areas to be sprayed, for the correct type of spray. The spray used has to be applied with considerable forethought as it can affect crop growth, for some distance downstream.

A funding allowance of $3,000 plus NRC fees have been included in the 2018/19 year for spot spraying. The current spray programme has been separated out into compartments and individual drains. Spray programme follows:

Machine cleaning

Over the 2018/19 year, the Kaitaia Area shall be investigated in conjunction with the spraying contractor to identify the location of any significant siltation and / or vegetation mats which will require removal.

Due to the amount of issues identified in the 2018 Drain Status Report, it is intended that a machine cleaning programme is put in place.

An allowance of $13,000 is currently allocated for 2018/19.

A complete review of these and any other areas which may require machine cleaning has been undertaken in conjunction with the spraying contractor to identify the location of any significant siltation and / or vegetation mats which will require removal.

The drains identified under this review are listed below:

·    Spains Drain – Thick mats of floating rush.

·    Waipapakauri Outfall – Very thick alligator weed.

·    School Drain – Thick weed.

·    Gills Drain – Thick weed.

·    Sankeys No. 1 – Thick alligator weed.

·    Maori Drain – Siltation and built up of weed causing it to have varying bed heights.

·    Pukepoto Creek – Thick weed and a fallen tree.

·    Waimanone to Walkers Drain – Thick weed and gorse on the bank.

·    Spains Road Drain – Very thick weed, drain on east side of the road requires a clean or spray by winter.

·    Mcmillans to Tupes Drain – Thick weed in some parts.

·    Factory Bend – Michies – Very thick weed in parts, would require another spray or clean by winter.

·    Pairatahi Bank Drain – Thick gorse on the bank.

·    Church Gully Drain – Very thick oxygen weed along the whole drain.

·    Awanui Drain – Very thick weed near the cemetery along with siltation on Steven Jurlina’s property.

·    W Masters C Drain – Thick pampus in the drain and on the bank.

·    H Subritzky’s Drain – Very thick alligator weed.

It is intended that the Kaitaia Drainage Area Committee makes a decision on what is to be done with the drains listed above.

Accessibility issues & maintenance

Access track mulching and grading is required along several drains, an allowance of $7,500 has been scheduled.

Due to the amount of issues identified in the 2018 Drain Status Report, it is intended that an access maintenance and / or improvements programme is put in place.

The spraying contractor identified several areas requiring track maintenance and / or fencing, a summary of the issues identified follows:

·    Church Gully Drain – Very wet entry, rough and overgrown track at some points. Near the recycling centre is also full of rubbish. No fencing when in farmland.

·    Spains Drain – Leylandii trees planted along one side blocking digger farm access to the drain.

·    Pukieti Outfall – Drain crossing to be reinstated for access, on Dave Van Bysterbelt’s property.

·    Lisle Drain – Requires fencing on the opposite side of the King’s property.

·    Birds Drain – Row of trees along one side of the drain.

·    Wireless Drain – Very rough access track along farmland.

·    Mcmillans to Tupes Drain – Fencing across the track on Shalders Farm.

·    Factory Bend – Michies – Fencing without gates near the drain causing time delays.

·    Pairatahi Bank Drain – Parts of the access track is overgrown, other side of the drain has no gates along the drain resulting in time delays.

·    Maimaru Drain – Parts of the access track was sprayed as it is overgrown. Middle of the drain was not sprayed as the property owner did not allow access.

·    Waimanone to Walkers Drain – Overgrown access track through Brian Dean and Shalders properties. Could not access through Dean’s property.

·    Sankeys No. 2 – In direct route to the drain.

·    Birds Boundary Drain – Row of trees along one side of the drain.

·    Yates Drain – Fencing without gates and drains without culverts near the drain causing time delays.

·    Wests Drain – Access track on one side is too rough to drive, the other has no gates along the drain which causes time delays.

The spraying contractor has been requested to identify the location of any of the following issues which are covered by the Far North District Council Land Drainage Bylaw 2009:

i)        Obstructions which interfere with the access for plant or machinery to and along the drainage channel or parts thereof and within 10 m of the drain, Clause 3.1.

ii)       Grazing stock which is not excluded from the drainage channel, Clause 5.7.

iii)      Damage caused to the drainage channel due to stock accessing the drainage channel for water, Clause 11.1.

iv)      Obstructions to flow within the drainage channel due to excessive vegetation material.

 

In recent years, a notice was sent to all property owners reminding them of the requirements that they must comply with the Drainage Bylaw and in particular the above issues.

2.3 Kaitaia Drainage Area management plan

There have been some minor changes made to the Management Plans in line with what was agreed upon in March 2017. The Management Plans were then approved by the Te Hiku Community Board in May 2017.

The next step is to have the approved Management Plans reviewed by the Northland Regional Council. This is required under section 27.2 Rules for Drainage and River Control Activities - Controlled Activities, of the Regional Water and Soil Plan for Northland.

2.4 Drainage area mapping

Late 2017, Council began using GIS (Geographic Information System) or mapping tools to log the location of the Drainage Area Drains electronically. The aim of this project is to put together a relatively accurate database of the drain width, depth, grade and location. Once gathered, the information will be added as a new layer in the Far North District Council’s online maps which are available to the public.

To date the entire Kaikino Drainage Area has been mapped and while it is not yet available online, a printed version of the map is available as an example.

The other Drainage Areas, Waiharara, Kaitaia and Motutangi, are planned for mapping this year.

Additionally, Council has done some research on the cost of purchasing a drone for Drainage Area monitoring. Our recommended drone, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro Drone costs $2,499 and has a range of ~5km (may vary depending on terrain) and a battery life of 30 minutes. Additional items for the drone are listed below:

Spare batteries - $320 each

Memory card - $60

Carry bag - $120

Reason for the recommendation

To confirm the expected works and their associated costs to be completed by 30 June 2019.

Te Hiku Community Board Meeting Agenda

8 November 2018

 

6.4         Kaitaia Drainage Area 19/20 Programme

File Number:           A2226216

Author:                    Troy Smith, Assistant Engineer

Authoriser:             Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management

 

Purpose of the Report

To seek approval from the Te Hiku Community Board of the proposed works outline and costs for the 2019/20 financial year.

Executive Summary

Over the 2019/20 financial year, the Far North District Council wishes to complete a selection of drainage area works. The work includes spraying, cleaning, access maintenance and status reporting of the drains. It is recommended a budget of $81,231 is allocated to cover the required and potential work.

 

Recommendation

That the Te Hiku Community Board approve the reviewed 2019/20 work programme for the Kaitaia Drainage Area.

 

1) Background

The founding of the Kaitaia Drainage Area dates back to 1913 where the Kaitaia Land Drainage Act was adopted with the exception that a board of trustees was to be applied.

The Kaitaia Drainage Area Committee was formally established at the 22 February 2016 meeting of the Te Hiku Community Board at the request of the members of the Kaitaia Drainage Management Committee.

The works programme for the 2019/20 financial year has been estimated from previous costs.

The list of required works is based on the assumption that the work programme for 2018/19 are completed as planned.

2) Discussion and Options

Across Kaitaia Drainage Area, there are several points which require work. This section details the work currently programmed and it is intended that the 2019/20 work programme is reviewed and changed accordingly.

Further review of the programme must be done during the following Drainage Area Committee Meeting held in September 2018 and over the next financial year. This is due to the highly estimated nature of the work programme.

2.1 Proposed work programme summary

Work is to be completed before 30 June 2020, with the spraying programme to start during late 2019:

Planned Work & Allowances:

Status report on the drains

2.2 General maintenance within the work programme

Spraying

Spraying of the Kaitaia Area is to be completed during late Spring / early Summer, 2019/20. Any additional spraying will be included as a contingency.

If an area has Alligator weed issues, the current spray will have little effect on it. For cases that greatly affect the water flow machine cleaning maybe required otherwise the below may be appropriate:

An EPA “Permission for Use of Substances” & Northland Regional Council consent is required specific to the areas to be sprayed, for the correct type of spray. The spray used has to be applied with considerable forethought as it can affect crop growth, for some distance downstream.

A funding allowance of $3,000 plus NRC fees have been included in the 2019/20 year for spot spraying. The current spray programme has been separated out into compartments and individual drains. Spray programme follows:

Machine cleaning

Over the 2019/20 year, the Kaitaia Area shall be investigated in conjunction with the spraying contractor to identify the location of any significant siltation and / or vegetation mats which will require removal.

Due to the amount of issues identified in the 2018 Drain Status Report, it is intended that a machine cleaning programme is put in place.

An allowance of $13,000 is currently allocated for 2019/20.

Accessibility issues & maintenance

Access track mulching and grading is required along several drains, an allowance of $7,500 has been scheduled.

Due to the amount of issues identified in the 2018 Drain Status Report, it is intended that an access maintenance and / or improvements programme is put in place.

The spraying contractor has been requested to identify the location of any of the following issues which are covered by the Far North District Council Land Drainage Bylaw 2009:

i)        Obstructions which interfere with the access for plant or machinery to and along the drainage channel or parts thereof and within 10 m of the drain, Clause 3.1.

ii)       Grazing stock which is not excluded from the drainage channel, Clause 5.7.

iii)      Damage caused to the drainage channel due to stock accessing the drainage channel for water, Clause 11.1.

iv)      Obstructions to flow within the drainage channel due to excessive vegetation material.

 

In recent years, a notice was sent to all property owners reminding them of the requirements that they must comply with the Drainage Bylaw and in particular the above issues.

Reason for the recommendation

To confirm the expected works and their associated costs to be completed by 30 June 2020.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

A summary of the expected 2019/20 financial year is as follows:

Please note the rated income has been lifted in order to keep the budget positive with the current work schedule. It is intended to have the rated income or work schedule or both adjusted by the Kaitaia Drainage Area Committee.

1) Background

The Waiharara and Kaikino Drainage Areas Committee was formally established at the 26 February 2015 meeting of the group previously known as the Northern Advisory Drainage Committee.

The works programme for the 2017/18 financial year was discussed at the previous Waiharara and Kaikino Drainage Areas Committee Meeting on 11 September 2017. Through various conversations and onsite meetings with the spraying contractors, members of the public and Committee members, the list of required works had been put together.

2) Discussion and Options

Across both the Waiharara and Kaikino Areas, there are several points which had work completed. This section further explains the work completed, any uncompleted work has been transferred into the current financial years programme.

2.1 Work programme summary 17/18

The past work programme from Financial Year 2017/18 is included below. This has been divided into completed and uncompleted work. There is also a column showing the amount budgeted through previous meetings.

Unbudgeted work was also completed upon instruction from committee members (given it was authorised by 2 unaffected members and identified as urgent). Several of the unbudgeted works were authorised by the committee during the most recent meeting in March.

The uncompleted works were delayed for a variety of reasons, most commonly wet ground conditions or over commitments in other areas.

2.2 Current projects within the work programme

Kaikino Drain access track

There have been 5 new crossings formed alongside the Milich’s section of the Kaikino Drain. Due to the time of the expense, purchasing of the culverts is in the 17/18 budget and installation in 18/19 budget. Exploratory mulching has also been completed in order to allow for further work under the 2018/19 work programme.

This new, direct access track would allow maintenance of the Kaikino Drain to be more efficient and cost effective.

Hobson Drain (downstream of Paparore Road) access track

Access improvements along the Hobson Drain were not completed under the past programme. The work has now been added into the current programme for 2018/19.

Reason for the recommendation

To advise the Te Hiku Community Board of the expenditure and closing balance for the year.

6.6         Waiharara and Kaikino Drainage Areas 18/19 Programme

File Number:           A2226110

Author:                    Troy Smith, Assistant Engineer

Authoriser:             Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management

 

Purpose of the Report

To seek approval of the work programme for the Waiharara and Kaikino drainage areas for the 2018/19 financial year.

Executive Summary

Over the 2018/19 financial year, the Far North District Council wishes to complete a selection of drainage area works. The work includes spraying, cleaning and access maintenance of the drains. It is recommended a budget of $12,410 is allocated to cover the required and potential work for Waiharara and a budget of $16,988 for Kaikino.

 

Recommendation

That the Te Hiku Community Board approve the reviewed 2018/19 work programme for the Waiharara and Kaikino Drainage Area.

 

1) Background

The Waiharara and Kaikino Drainage Areas Committee was formally established at the 26 February 2015 meeting of the group previously known as the Northern Advisory Drainage Committee.

The works programme for the 2018/19 financial year has been estimated from previous costs.

2) Discussion and Options

Across both the Waiharara and Kaikino Areas, there are several points which require work. This section details the work currently programmed and it is intended that the 2018/19 work programme is reviewed and changed accordingly.

2.1 Proposed work programme summary

Work is to be completed before 30 June 2019, with the spraying programme to start during late 2018:

Waiharara

Spraying of drains during late Spring / early Summer (Additional spray of the outlet below the bridge)

$4,410

Machine clean all drains if required

$5,000

Contingency allowance

$3,000

$2,000

 

Contingency allowance

$2,000

Total

$16,988

2.2 Proposed projects within work programme

Access at John Matijevich’s

To enable access for the spraying of drains a gate and culvert is to be installed.

Kaikino Drain access track

Continuing from access improvements along the Milich’s property and exploratory mulching in the 2017/18 work programme, further access improvements should be investigated.

Access improvements would be completed along the Gumdigger’s section of the Kaikino drain to complete the new track. The work would likely include installation of ~2 new culverts and vegetation clearing at an approximate cost of $2,000 in total.

This new, direct access track would allow maintenance of the Kaikino Drain to be more efficient and cost effective.

Hobson Drain (downstream of Paparore Road) access track

In past Committee meetings it was agreed that the section of drain downstream of Paparore Road, requires machine cleaning. Unfortunately there is very little access to this section of drain which has delayed cleaning and spraying.

In 2016 and 2017 there were plans of installing a new access track along the Hobson Drain, downstream of Paparore Road but so far no work has been completed. To start the new access track, there are approximately 2 new access culverts required to reach the drain bank. The work mentioned above is estimated to cost $2,000.

Once the 2 initial culverts are installed, further work will be investigated to ensure we can restore full access to the lower section and are able to maintain it. The machine cleaning can then be completed under the $2,000 allowance.

2.3 General maintenance within work programme

Spraying

Spraying of the Waiharara and Kaikino Areas is to be completed during late spring / early summer 2018. Any additional spraying will be included as a contingency.

If an area has Alligator weed issues, the current spray will have little effect on it. For cases that greatly affect the water flow machine cleaning maybe required otherwise the below may be appropriate:

An EPA “Permission for Use of Substances” & Northland Regional Council consent is required specific to the areas to be sprayed, for the correct type of spray. The spray used has to be applied with considerable forethought as it can affect crop growth, for some distance downstream.

Machine cleaning

Over the 2018/19 year, the Waiharara and Kaikino Areas shall be investigated in conjunction with the spraying contractor to identify the location of any significant siltation and / or vegetation mats which will require removal. There is no planned cleaning scheduled, below is a review of what’s been completed recently.

The Waiharara Drainage Area will now be 2 years since the last major clean, as the area was last cleaned in 16/17. A large allowance of $5,000 has been included in order to cover all cleaning, if it is required as estimated.

The Kaikino Drainage Area does not have any scheduled cleaning. A contingency of $2,000 has been included which will be available for any machine cleaning required.

Accessibility issues & maintenance

The 2 new access tracks formed along the Kaikino drain and lower Hobson drain will need yearly mulching in order to keep the track in good condition. This has been estimated to cost $1,000.

In addition to maintenance of the new tracks, the spraying contractor has been requested to identify the location of any of the following issues which are covered by the Far North District Council Land Drainage Bylaw 2009:

i)        Obstructions which interfere with the access for plant or machinery to and along the drainage channel or parts thereof and within 10 m of the drain, Clause 3.1.

ii)       Grazing stock which is not excluded from the drainage channel, Clause 5.7.

iii)      Damage caused to the drainage channel due to stock accessing the drainage channel for water, Clause 11.1.

iv)      Obstructions to flow within the drainage channel due to excessive vegetation material.

A notice was sent to all property owners reminding them of the requirements that they must comply with the Drainage Bylaw and in particular the above issues.

2.4 Kaikino and Waiharara Drainage Area management plans

There have been some minor changes made to the Management Plans in line with what was agreed upon in March 2017. The Management Plans were then approved by the Te Hiku Community Board in May 2017.

The next step is to have the approved Management Plans reviewed by the Northland Regional Council. This is required under section 27.2 Rules for Drainage and River Control Activities - Controlled Activities, of the Regional Water and Soil Plan for Northland.

2.5 Drainage area mapping

Late 2017, Council began using GIS (Geographic Information System) or mapping tools to log the location of the Drainage Area Drains electronically. The aim of this project is to put together a relatively accurate database of the drain width, depth, grade and location. Once gathered, the information will be added as a new layer in the Far North District Council’s online maps which are available to the public.

To date the entire Kaikino Drainage Area has been mapped and while it is not yet available online, a printed version of the map is available as an example and will be sent to Board members.

The other Drainage Areas, Waiharara, Kaitaia and Motutangi, are planned for mapping this year.

Additionally, Council has done some research on the cost of purchasing a drone for Drainage Area monitoring.

6.7         Waiharara and Kaikino Drainage Areas 19/20 Programme

File Number:           A2226133

Author:                    Troy Smith, Assistant Engineer

Authoriser:             Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management

 

Purpose of the Report

To seek approval from the Te Hiku Community Board of the proposed works outline and costs for the 2019/20 financial year.

Executive Summary

Over the 2019/20 financial year, the Far North District Council wishes to complete a selection of drainage area works. The work includes spraying, cleaning and access maintenance of the drains. It is recommended a budget of $14,910 is allocated to cover the required and potential work for Waiharara and a budget of $8,875 for Kaikino.

 

Recommendation

That the Te Hiku Community Board approve the reviewed 2019/20 work programme for the Waiharara and Kaikino Drainage Area.

 

1) Background

The Waiharara and Kaikino Drainage Areas Committee was formally established at the 26 February 2015 meeting of the group previously known as the Northern Advisory Drainage Committee.

The works programme for the 2019/20 financial year has been estimated from previous costs

The list of required works is based on the assumption that the work programme for 2018/19 are completed as planned.

2) Discussion and Options

Across both the Waiharara and Kaikino Areas, there are several points which require work. This section details the work currently programmed and it is intended that the 2019/20 work programme is reviewed and changed accordingly.

Further review of the programme must be done during the following Drainage Area Committee Meeting held in March 2019 and over the next financial year. This is due to the highly estimated nature of the work programme.

2.1 Proposed work programme summary

Work is to be completed before 30 June 2020, with the spraying programme to start during late 2019:

Waiharara

Spraying of drains during late Spring / early Summer (Additional spray of the outlet below the bridge)

$4,410

Machine clean all drains if required

$7,500

Contingency allowance

$3,000

Total

$14,910

 

Kaikino

 

Spraying of drains during late Spring / early Summer

$3,875

Machine clearing of the drains

$2,000

Access track maintenance

$1,000

Contingency allowance

$2,000

Total

$8,875

2.2 General maintenance within the work programme

Spraying

Spraying of the Waiharara and Kaikino Areas is to be completed during late spring / early summer 2019. Any additional spraying will be included as a contingency.

If an area has Alligator weed issues, the current spray will have little effect on it. For cases that greatly affect the water flow machine cleaning maybe required otherwise the below may be appropriate:

An EPA “Permission for Use of Substances” & Northland Regional Council consent is required specific to the areas to be sprayed, for the correct type of spray. The spray used has to be applied with considerable forethought as it can affect crop growth, for some distance downstream.

Machine cleaning

Over the 2019/20 year, the Waiharara and Kaikino Areas shall be investigated in conjunction with the spraying contractor to identify the location of any significant siltation and / or vegetation mats which will require removal. There is no planned cleaning scheduled, below is a review of what’s been completed recently.

The Waiharara Drainage Area will now be 3 years since the last major clean, as the area was last cleaned in 16/17. A large allowance of $7,500 has been included in order to cover all cleaning, if it is required as estimated.

The Kaikino Drainage Area does not have any scheduled cleaning. A contingency of $2,000 has been included which will be available for any machine cleaning required.

Accessibility issues & maintenance

The 2 new access tracks formed along the Kaikino drain and lower Hobson drain will need yearly mulching in order to keep the track in good condition. This has been estimated to cost $1,000.

In addition to maintenance of the new tracks, the spraying contractor has been requested to identify the location of any of the following issues which are covered by the Far North District Council Land Drainage Bylaw 2009:

i)        Obstructions which interfere with the access for plant or machinery to and along the drainage channel or parts thereof and within 10 m of the drain, Clause 3.1.

ii)       Grazing stock which is not excluded from the drainage channel, Clause 5.7.

iii)      Damage caused to the drainage channel due to stock accessing the drainage channel for water, Clause 11.1.

iv)      Obstructions to flow within the drainage channel due to excessive vegetation material.

A notice was sent to all property owners reminding them of the requirements that they must comply with the Drainage Bylaw and in particular the above issues.

Reason for the recommendation

To confirm the expected works and their associated costs to be completed by 30 June 2020.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

1) Background

The Motutangi Drainage Area Committee was formally established at the 26 February 2015 meeting of the group previously known as the Northern Advisory Drainage Committee.

Prior to the formal establishment of the Motutangi Drainage Area Committee and the Waiharara and Kaikino Drainage Areas Committee there were meetings of a group known as the Northern Advisory Drainage Committee.

The works programme for the 2017/18 financial year was discussed at the previous Motutangi Drainage Area Committee Meeting on 11 September 2017. Through various conversations and onsite meetings with the spraying contractors, members of the public and Committee members, the list of required works had been put together.

2) Discussion and Options

Across both the Motutangi Area, there are several points which had work completed. This section further explains the work completed, any uncompleted work has been transferred into the current financial years programme.

2.1 Work programme summary 17/18

The past work programme from Financial Year 2017/18 is included below. This has been divided into completed and uncompleted work. There is also a column showing the amount budgeted through previous meetings.

Unbudgeted work was also completed upon instruction from committee members (given it was authorised by 2 unaffected members and identified as urgent). Several of the unbudgeted works were authorised by the committee during the most recent meeting in March.

The uncompleted works were delayed for a variety of reasons, most commonly wet ground conditions or over commitments in other areas.

      $3,000

Total

 

$13,950

2.2 General maintenance within the work programme

Spraying

Spraying of the Motutangi drains was completed over the months of December and January in 2017/18.

To help evaluate the effect of using a medium reach digger along the Motutangi Outlet Stream, the far bank was sprayed with an extended spray gun during a recent very low tide, at a cost of $986.

Machine cleaning

The Motutangi stream outlet requires 2 cleans a year, the first is generally by a long reach digger and the second by a shorter reach digger (as this machine is quicker and therefore cheaper). This year the initial clean was completed with a medium reach digger at a cost of $6,998 which cleaned from the drain intersection and downstream as far as was required.

Reason for the recommendation

To advise the Te Hiku Community Board of the expenditure and closing balance for the year.

6.9         Motutangi Drainage Area 18/19 Programme

File Number:           A2226187

Author:                    Troy Smith, Assistant Engineer

Authoriser:             Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management

 

Purpose of the Report

To seek approval of the work programme for the Motutangi drainage area, for the 2018/19 financial year.

Executive Summary

Over the 2018/19 financial year, the Far North District Council wishes to complete a selection of drainage area works. The work includes spraying, cleaning and access maintenance of the drains. It is recommended a budget of $33,386 is allocated to cover the required and potential work.

 

Recommendation

That the Te Hiku Community Board approve the reviewed 2018/19 work programme for the Motutangi Drainage Area.

 

1) Background

The Motutangi Drainage Area Committee was formally established at the 26 February 2015 meeting of the group previously known as the Northern Advisory Drainage Committee.

The works programme for the 2018/19 financial year has been estimated from previous costs.

2) Discussion and Options

Within the Motutangi Area, there are several points which require work. This section details the work currently programmed and it is intended that the 2018/19 work programme is reviewed and changed accordingly.

2.1 Proposed work programme summary

Work is to be completed before 30 June 2019, with the spraying programme to start during late 2018:

Planned Work & Allowances:

Contingency fee

$3,000

Total

$33,386

2.2 Deferred projects

Motutangi stream stockpile relocation

The Motutangi Stream stockpile relocation area has to be positioned in accordance with the DOC agreement conditions. We are still waiting on DOC’s reply to our revised agreement. We have been advised that further information may be available on/after Wednesday 22nd August.

Any dumpsites would be identified by the Department of Conservation (DOC) before works commenced.

For the time being this has been delayed further and put into Motutangi Drainage Area’s 2019/2020 budget. An allowance of $34,000 has been included.

2.3 General maintenance within the work programme

Spraying

Spraying of the Motutangi drains is to be completed over the months of September, October, November, December, January and March. A section of the Aspin drain that is inaccessible also requires cleaning and if required spraying, this is within a DOC reserve. It has been estimated that helicopter spraying of this section will cost ~ $700.

If an area has Alligator weed issues, the current spray will have little effect on it. For cases that greatly affect the water flow machine cleaning maybe required otherwise the below may be appropriate:

An EPA “Permission for Use of Substances” & Northland Regional Council consent is required specific to the areas to be sprayed, for the correct type of spray. The spray used has to be applied with considerable forethought as it can affect crop growth, for some distance downstream.

Machine cleaning

The Motutangi stream outlet normally requires 2 cleans a year, the first is generally by a long reach digger and the second by a shorter reach digger (as this machine is quicker and therefore cheaper). Last year the initial clean was completed with a medium reach digger at a cost of $6,998 which cleaned from the drain intersection and downstream as far as was required.

The total length cleaned will vary depending on the weather conditions and growth.

To help evaluate the effect of using a medium reach digger along the Motutangi Outlet Stream, the far bank was sprayed with an extended spray gun during a very low tide.

This was recently inspected and appears to have provided good value for the cost. Spraying has been programmed for between the 10th to the 13th of September to repeat this as there are again very low tides during those dates.

Drain cleaning requirements will be assessed once the result of this early spraying has been evaluated.

A budget of $4,500 has been allocated for spring drain cleaning along with $3,000 for the inaccessible section of the Aspin drain during summer (when/if dry) and there is also a $3,000 contingency allowance.

A complete review of these and any other areas which may require machine cleaning shall be investigated in conjunction with the spraying contractor to identify the location of any significant siltation and / or vegetation mats which will require removal.

Accessibility issues & maintenance

The spraying contractor identified a need for access track widening along the ‘Cut to Lands End’ drain. There is minimal room for the spraying truck to drive through and at points can get quite dangerous. An allowance of $2,000 has been scheduled for this.

The spraying contractor has been requested to identify the location of any of the following issues which are covered by the Far North District Council Land Drainage Bylaw 2009:

i)        Obstructions which interfere with the access for plant or machinery to and along the drainage channel or parts thereof and within 10 m of the drain, Clause 3.1.

ii)       Grazing stock which is not excluded from the drainage channel, Clause 5.7.

iii)      Damage caused to the drainage channel due to stock accessing the drainage channel for water, Clause 11.1.

iv)      Obstructions to flow within the drainage channel due to excessive vegetation material.

 

In recent years, a notice was sent to all property owners reminding them of the requirements that they must comply with the Drainage Bylaw and in particular the above issues.

2.4 Motutangi Drainage Area management plan / DOC concession agreement

We are currently waiting on DOC’s reply to our submitted revised management plan and concession agreement.

Once the concession management plan is approved by the members, Council and DOC, the next step is to have the complete document reviewed by the Northland Regional Council. This is required under section 27.3 Rules for Drainage and River Control Activities - Discretionary Activities, of the Regional Water and Soil Plan for Northland.

2.5 Drainage area mapping

Late 2017, Council began using GIS (Geographic Information System) or mapping tools to log the location of the Drainage Area Drains electronically. The aim of this project is to put together a relatively accurate database of the drain width, depth, grade and location. Once gathered, the information will be added as a new layer in the Far North District Council’s online maps which are available to the public.

To date the entire Kaikino Drainage Area has been mapped and while it is not yet available online, a printed version of the map is available as an example, and will be provided to Board members to view.

The other Drainage Areas, Waiharara, Kaitaia and Motutangi, are planned for mapping this year.

Additionally, Council has done some research on the cost of purchasing a drone for Drainage Area monitoring. Our recommended drone, the DJI Phantom 4 Pro Drone costs $2,499 and has a range of ~5km (may vary depending on terrain) and a battery life of 30 minutes. Additional items for the drone are listed below:

Spare batteries - $320 each

Memory card - $60

Carry bag - $120

Reason for the recommendation

To confirm the expected works and their associated costs to be completed by 30 June 2019.

2.1 Proposed projects within the work programme

Motutangi stream stockpile relocation

The Motutangi Stream stockpile relocation area has to be positioned in accordance with the DOC agreement conditions. We are still waiting on DOC’s reply to our revised agreement. We have been advised that further information may be available on/after Wednesday 22nd August.

Any dumpsites would be identified by the Department of Conservation (DOC) before works commenced.

An allowance of $34,000 has been included in the proposed work programme.

2.2 General maintenance within the work programme

Spraying

Spraying of the Motutangi Area is to be completed during late Spring / early Summer 2019/20. Any additional spraying will be included as a contingency.

If an area has Alligator weed issues, the current spray will have little effect on it. For cases that greatly affect the water flow machine cleaning maybe required otherwise the below may be appropriate:

An EPA “Permission for Use of Substances” & Northland Regional Council consent is required specific to the areas to be sprayed, for the correct type of spray. The spray used has to be applied with considerable forethought as it can affect crop growth, for some distance downstream.

Machine cleaning

Over the 2018/19 year, the Motutangi Area shall be investigated in conjunction with the spraying contractor to identify the location of any significant siltation and / or vegetation mats which will require removal. There is no planned cleaning scheduled, below is a review of what’s been completed recently.

In the past, the Motutangi stream outlet required 2 cleans a year, the first is generally by a long reach digger and the second by a shorter reach digger (as this machine is quicker and therefore cheaper). The work programme’s cleaning costs are based off of this.

To help evaluate the effect of using a medium reach digger along the Motutangi Outlet Stream, the far bank was sprayed with an extended spray gun during a very low tide.

This was recently inspected and appears to have provided good value for the cost.

The total length cleaned will vary depending on the weather conditions and growth.

A machine cleaning allowance of $15,000 has been included in the 2019/20 year.

Accessibility Issues & maintenance

Access track mulching is required along several drains, an allowance of $2,000 has been scheduled.

The spraying contractor has been requested to identify the location of any of the following issues which are covered by the Far North District Council Land Drainage Bylaw 2009:

i)        Obstructions which interfere with the access for plant or machinery to and along the drainage channel or parts thereof and within 10 m of the drain, Clause 3.1.

ii)       Grazing stock which is not excluded from the drainage channel, Clause 5.7.

iii)      Damage caused to the drainage channel due to stock accessing the drainage channel for water, Clause 11.1.

iv)      Obstructions to flow within the drainage channel due to excessive vegetation material.

 

A notice was sent to all property owners reminding them of the requirements that they must comply with the Drainage Bylaw and in particular the above issues.

Reason for the recommendation

To confirm the expected works and their associated costs to be completed by 30 June 2020.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

A summary of the expected 2019/20 financial year is as follows:

7.2         Events Investment Funding Decisions for the 2018/19 Financial Year

File Number:           A2232976

Author:                    Kathryn Trewin, Corporate Planning Co-ordinator

Authoriser:             Sheryl Gavin, General Manager - Strategic Planning and Policy (Acting)

 

Purpose of the Report

To inform the Community board of the decisions of allocation of Events Investment Funding by the Chairs of the Community Board at their meeting on 8 October 2018.

Executive Summary

·    In the 2018-28 Long Term Plan (LTP), Council delegated the authority to the Community Boards to allocate the annual Events Investment Fund of $80,000.  

·    Each Ward was allocated a portion of the funding on a population basis.  

·    The Community Boards decided that a panel including each of the Board Chairs and up to one additional representative from each Board would consider applications and make the decisions on awarding the fund on behalf of all Community Board members. 

·    The Community Board Panel (the Panel), consisting of the three Chairs and two nominated representatives from Kaikohe-Hokianga, Te Hiku and Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Boards met on 8 October and made the following funding allocations:

Blues-Chiefs Pre-Season Rugby Game $12,000 underwrite funded in full 

Tux Sheep Dog Championships               $10,000 

Snapper Bonanza                                     $10,000 

Te Houtaewa                                            $6,000 

Sanitarium Weetbix Kids Tryathlon          $11,000

Kerikeri Half Marathon                             $8,000 

Bay of Islands Waka Festival                   $7,000 

Breca Swim Run                                      $2,500 

Bay of Islands Walking Weekend             $6,000 

Russell Birdman Festival                          $7,500 

·    And that if the Auckland Blues game does not require the funding, the balance of $12,000 to be held in reserve for use in the 2019/20 funding round.

Recommendation

That the Te Hiku Community Board receive the report Events Investment Funding Decisions for the 2018/19 Financial Year.

Background

Events Investment Funding applications are received once per calendar year and are funded from the Economic Development budget.  

Applications were received from 19 organisations for planned events in the next 12-18 month period.  Additionally, a proposal to underwrite the Blues/Chiefs Pre-Season game at Lindvart Park, Kaikohe in the sum of $12,000 was considered.

The report detailing the background to Events Investment Funding, assessments of the applications and recommendations of staff is attached for reference.

 

 Discussion and Next Steps

A number of the events are of District-wide importance, so were able to be considered for funding by all the Community Boards, not just the host Board.  Of these events, the Sestercentenniel was referred back to Strategic Planning and Policy to consider alternative funding arrangements and the Panel funded (either in part or in full) the remaining events. These events were:

Sanitarium Weetbix Kids Tryathlon  Bay of Islands-Whangaroa

Blues-Chiefs Pre-Season Rugby Game  Kaikohe-Hokianga

Tux Dog Trial Championships Kaikohe-Hokianga

Kerikeri Half Marathon  Bay of Islands-Whangaroa

Bay of Islands Waka Ama  Bay of Islands-Whangaroa

Te Au Marie Sestercentenniel  Nationwide

Te Hiku Ward Events

Specific to the benefit of Te Hiku area, the following events were funded by Te Hiku Community Board from their allocation:

Snapper Bonanza                                     $10,000 

Te Houtaewa                                            $6,000 

The Tamariki Day application was considered and the Panel recommended it be referred back to the Community Board for discussion and consideration of funding from the Community Board Grant Fund.

The Matariki Festival Ball application was considered and due to the high quality of applications and the limited amount of funding available, the Panel declined to fund this event.

The 2019 Kaitaia Santa Parade and Christmas in the Park application was considered.  The event itself is in the next financial year, and the Panel recommended it be referred back to the Community Board for discussion and consideration of funding from the Community Board Grant Fund.

 Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

Budget of $80,000 was allocated in the 2018-28 Long Term Plan – there are no further financial implications.

MEETING:                 COMMUNITY BOARDS EVENTS INVESTMENT FUNDING PANEL – 8 OCTOBER 2018

Name of item:            EVENTS INVESTMENT FUNDING

Authors:                       Sheryl Gavin, GM Strategic Planning & Policy (Acting) and Bill Lee, Manager Community Policy & Development

Date of report:               2 October 2018

(a)       Document number:       A2231453

(b)        

1)         Background

The purpose of this meeting is to determine which events will receive investment from Council for the 2018/19 financial year.  

For the past four years Council has allocated funding to a contestable Events Investment Fund, inviting community groups to apply for money to help them run their events. In previous years the fund was supported by an Events Strategy designed to bring outstanding events and festivals to the District that are fun and that connect, contribute to and celebrate our communities, create pride and showcase our District. While this remains the purpose of the fund, the Events Strategy has been substituted with a new process following a decision of Council to delegate distribution of the fund to the three Community Boards, allocated to each Board on a population basis.

The Community Boards have decided that a panel including each of the Board Chairs and one additional representative from each Board will consider applications and make the decisions on awarding the fund on behalf of all Community Board members.

2)         Events Investment Fund

The Events Investment Fund totals $80,000.

Allocation on a population basis is as follows:

Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Ward    45%  $36,000

Kaikohe-Hokianga Ward                 23%  $18,400

Te Hiku Ward                                   32%  $25,600

Total fund                                       $80,000

Auckland Blues Pre-Season Game

Council’s Audit, Risk and Finance Committee meeting of 27 September 2018 resolved to underwrite a Super Rugby preseason game at Lindvart Park on 2 February 2019.

The purpose of the report is to seek the Committee’s approval to underwrite a Super Rugby preseason game between the Blues and Chiefs franchises on 2 February 2019.

Two locations, Kerikeri Domain and Lindvart Park, were considered. The Committee agreed that the game be hosted at Lindvart Park because it was judged most likely to break even, largely due to the availability of sufficient grandstand facilities.

The Northland Rugby Union will take the lead for delivering the event. The Committee consented to Council underwriting 80% of a potential loss to a maximum of $59,568; the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board offered up $12,000 of their event funding as a contribution.

Community Board representatives allocated to distribution of the Events Investment Fund are therefore asked to resolve reserving $12,000 of the Events Investment Fund, and if it is not required (i.e. the event breaks even) the $12,000 will be held over to the 2019/20 funding round). This could be divided equally between the three Boards ($4,000 each).

This would reduce the amount of money available for distribution out of the Events Investment Fund to $68,000, allocated as follows:

Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Ward                        $32,000

Kaikohe-Hokianga Ward                                     $14,400

Te Hiku Ward                                                      $21,600

Total fund                                                           $68,000

Recommendation: That Community Board representatives on this panel agree that $12,000 of the Events Investment Fund be allocated to underwrite the February 2019 Super Rugby Blues/Chiefs preseason game at Lindvart Park. 

3)         Assessment of applications

Each applicant was required to complete a standard application form and provide a business plan and financial information.

The application was then scored on its proposed economic, cultural and social benefits, and the expected environmental effects of each event. 

Since the intention is to invest in events that are high profile and that bring visitors and economic benefit to the District, it makes sense that the key assessment criteria is the Return on District Investment (RODI), which is calculated using an economic modelling tool supplied by Infometrics.

In order to carry out a RODI assessment, applicants are asked to provide an estimate of:

·    The number of people from outside of the district likely to travel to the event.

·    The average daily spend for all attendees at the event location and surrounds. Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment have provided expected expenditure per visitor at $118 for domestic visitors from outside the District and $183 for international visitors. (Stats NZ http://nzdotstat.stats.govt.nz/wbos/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=TABLECODE7573)

·    The duration of the event (days).

The RODI report estimates the turnover total effect (an estimate of the total value of goods and services, and the earnings effects), and the direct effect value added (an estimate of the Gross Domestic Product based on increased spending directly in each industry associated with the event).

The RODI is calculated by dividing the direct effect value add by the amount of funding requested by the applicant.

e.g.

Direct effect value add          $170,000

Council investment                $10,000

RODI as assessed                 $170,000 ÷ $10,000 = a RODI of $17

 

In other words, for every dollar Council invests in the event, $17 of economic benefit is returned to the District.

In past years  additional weighting has been granted to any event outside of the Bay of Islands. This year, however, Community Boards will place a higher weighting on events that support the Tuia 250 commemorations. The weightings below were therefore used to score each application:

Note: if the panel chooses to support this event the funding should be allocated on a ward basis.

5)         Suggested decision-making process

Given the small size of the allocation for Kaikohe-Hokianga of funds and only two events to consider, staff suggest that this Board’s allocation be considered first, followed by Te Hiku and then Bay of Islands-Whangaroa.  Bay of Islands-Whangaroa has the bulk of the applications and there will need to be considerable consideration given to how their funding is allocated.

As an initial consideration, staff would like the Boards to consider giving greater support to events that are both cornerstone and attract a wide section of the community as well as external visitors.

District-Wide

While there are applications across a diverse range of events, the panel should keep in mind that the following are or have District-wide importance.  The panel may want to consider how they might share the funding of these events before considering how they might support more localised events.  Staff have noted that the application from Te Au Marie Trust is for a feasibility study and that the event does not take place until October 2019.  Staff suggest that the event funding is for the running of specific events and not for a feasibility study.  The flotilla event is being funded by Central Government.

These events are:

Kids Tryathlon                                  Bay of Islands-Whangaroa

Blues-Chiefs Rugby Game             Kaikohe-Hokianga

Tux Dog Trial Championships         Kaikohe-Hokianga

Kerikeri Half Marathon           Bay of Islands-Whangaroa

Bay of Islands Waka Ama               Bay of Islands-Whangaroa

Te Au Marie Sestercentenniel         Nationwide

Kaikohe-Hokianga

If the decision was previously made to underwrite the Blues-Chiefs rugby game in February, this would leave the Board with $14,400.  The Tux Dog Trial Championships are requesting $14,000.  This would mean that the Board could fully fund this event.  There are no other event applications for events in this Ward, however, there remains $400 that could be allocated from the Kaikohe-Hokianga Board to another event that has District-wide benefit.

Te Hiku

There are only four events for consideration of funding allocation, as the Kaitaia Santa Parade and Christmas in the Park will be in December 2019 and staff will carry this over into next years funding application run and inform the applicant.

The Matariki Festival Ball is for ticket holders only and staff believe this would only attract a limited participation audience.  The amount shown for Te Houtaewa is $20,000, however the application requests between $10 - $20,000.  It is noted that all of the Te Hiku (except Snapper Bonanza) events do not score highly on return of district investment.  If the Board agrees, then the events below are the ones to consider apportioning the $21,600 to. 

These events are:

Snapper Bonanza

Te Houtaewa Challenge

Tamariki Day

Matariki Festival Ball

Bay of Islands-Whangaroa

As in previous years, the bulk of applications and events are in the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Ward. 

Under previous Long Term Plans, funding was set aside for the Bay of Islands Arts Festival (Upsurge).  This funding was not allocated in the 2018-28 LTP, and their applications now come under Event Funding.  As opposed to previous years, the total amount funded was $15,000 pa, they have requested $109,125.

The Bay of Islands Ocean Swim event is likely to be in December 2019, which is outside of this financial year.  Previously, they have received $25,000 per year, and were on a three year contract.  This contract has now expired.  They have requested a three-year contract.  It is possible to agree to a contract and to start the funding in the 2019/20 funding round.

The Kerikeri Bowling Club has requested $500 towards a ladies fours bowling tournament.  Staff recommend this request be passed back to the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Board for consideration more appropriately from their Community Grants funding.  Participation is low and limited to club members and invitees only.

The Sanitarium Weetbix Kids Tryathlon is a cornerstone event and is asking for a three year contract.  The funding they receive from Council is match-funded with a Sanitarium staff trust and the monies used for students in the Te Hiku and Kaikohe-Hokianga Wards to cover participation fees.

The Breca Swim/Run was a new event in 2018 and is only the second event in New Zealand (the other is in Wanaka) for this international series.  It is noted that the RODI is not high for this event.

Additionally, Russell Birdman, the Bay of Islands Walking Weekend, Kerikeri Half Marathon and the Bay of Islands Waka Ama Festival have received funding since inception.

Other events requesting funding are the Far North Go Green Awards and the Reggae by the River.

Recommendation:

That greater consideration should be given to District-Wide and cornerstone events that have a higher rate of Return on District Investment (RODI).

8.3         Rural Travel Funding - Applications Summer round 2018/19

File Number:           A2223000

Author:                    Melissa Wood, Meetings Administrator

Authoriser:             Kate Barnes, Governance Support Team Leader

 

Purpose of the Report

To allocate Rural Travel Funding for the 2018/19 summer sporting season.

 

Recommendation

That the Te Hiku Community Board allocates funding in accordance with the recommendations received from Sport Northland as follows:

a)      Kaingaroa School                                             $1,200

b)      Kaitaia Athletics Club                                      $600

c)      Peria School                                                      $250

d)      Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Pukemiro              $2,000

 

 

1) Background

The Rural Travel Fund was developed in response to concerns raised by Councils throughout the country about the lack of participation in sport by young people living in rural communities. The Fund was introduced as an interim measure until a rural participation strategy was fully developed and implemented. The strategy is yet to be developed.

Kiwisport was launched in 2009 by Prime Minister John Key and funding is given to Sport Northland to achieve three objectives. One of the barriers that has been identified in Northland is the cost of travel.  Sport Northland agreed to give part of its funding to the Far North District Council to add to its Rural Travel Fund to overcome the travel barrier and help achieve their three objectives.

Council receives funding based on a per capita basis and gave the three Community Boards delegated authority to allocate the funding.  Each Board receives a sum based on the number of people between ages five and nineteen living in their respective areas. Figures are based on the 2013 census results.  This funding round is the first of two funding rounds for the current financial year, for sporting activities taking place in summer, or until April/May 2020 when the next round of funding is allocated.

Council advertises that funding is available approximately one month before applications close in local newspapers and on Council’s facebook page. The Sport Northland representatives also forward information of the fund to clubs and schools that they work with as a more targeted approach to advertise the funding is available.

2) Discussion and Options

It is each Community Board's role to determine which applications best meet the criteria and will have the most positive broad effect in their communities. The following table is a guide to the funding criteria.

Funding is available for activities taking place within the district. It is understood, that in some cases, competitions do not exist within the district and travel is required in which case the Community Boards may use their discretion.

 

 

 

 

 

Sport Northland (Kiwisport)

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

Council receives two grants annually that make up this funding budget - $25,080.30 from Sport New Zealand and $25,000 (plus GST) from Sport Northland.  

Due to carry forward from the previous year the total budget for rural travel funding for the 2018/19 financial year is $49,566.67. The percentage of youth throughout the district is translated into percentages to calculate the percentage of funding each Board can allocate.

File Number:           A2225150

Author:                    Melissa Wood, Meetings Administrator

Authoriser:             Kate Barnes, Governance Support Team Leader

 

Purpose of the Report

To present the Community Board with information on Epilepsy Association New Zealand’s application for a grant to assist members in determining whether to approve or decline the application.

Executive Summary

·    The Applicant seeks funding towards a field service vehicle for their Northland educator

·    The Board has not previously funded the applicant

 

Recommendation

That the Te Hiku Community Board in considering the provisions of the Community Grant Policy authorise the sum of $3000.00 (plus GST if applicable) to be paid from the Board’s Community Fund account to Epilepsy New Zealand toward the purchase of a field service vehicle for providing services to the Northland region  to support the following Community Outcomes:

Option 1    Authorise the full amount requested

Funding of 29% of the total cost could be considered.

Option 2    Authorise partial funding of the amount requested

Partial funding of the amount requested could be considered.

Option 1 is recommended by staff as it complies with the Community Grant Policy.

Reason for the recommendation
