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.

6.1         New Vodafone Licence - Telecommunications Facility - Local Purpose (Quarry) Reserve, Whakarara Road, Matauri Bay

File Number:           A2626433

Author:                    Kaye Lethbridge, Property Legalisation Officer

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

 

Purpose of the Report

This reports seeks a recommendation from the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board on a request from Vodafone for a new licence to continue to operate the telecommunications facility at Whakarara Road, Matauri Bay and to provide for the co-location of 2Degrees and possibly Spark in the future.

Executive Summary

·        Vodafone’s licence to operate the telecommunications facility on the local purpose (quarry) reserve at Whakarara Road, Matauri Bay expires in September this year (2019).

·        Vodafone has requested a new licence to continue to operate the cell tower and to provide for the co-location of 2Degrees and possibly Spark in the future.

·        Licence term to be 10 years with a renewal term of 10 years.

·        Annual rental $9,000 plus GST (if any) with a 3-yearly rent review linked to the Consumer Price Index.

 

Recommendation

That the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board recommends that Council:

a)   In its role as administering body of the local purpose (quarry) reserve and pursuant to its powers under Section 48A of the Reserves Act 1977, grants a licence to Vodafone to operate a telecommunications facility over 510m2 of local purpose (quarry) reserve, being Section 3 Block XIII Whakarara Survey District. 

b)   In its role as the Minister of Conservation’s delegate, consents to the granting of the aforementioned licence.

c)   The terms of the licence shall be:

Term:                  10 years

Renewal term:   10 years

Annual rental:    $9,000 plus GST (if any)

Rent review:       3 yearly from commencement date; linked to Consumer Price Index (CPI).

 

 

1) Background

In July 1999 Council’s Works Committee consented to Vodafone erecting a “mobile phone aerial” on disused quarry land, Whakarara Road, Matauri Bay.  The application was to establish a telecommunications facility comprising a monopole mast 15 metres in height and 6 antennas, an equipment shelter and access formation.   The National Radiation Laboratory concluded that exposures would be very low compared with the limits prescribed in NZA 2772.1:199 and that the proposed cell phone base station would not pose a health hazard to people who live or work in the local community. 

In April 2001 Council notified Vodafone’s application (RC2010342) in accordance with the Resource Management Act 1991. Submissions received as a result of the public notification showed that the facility was keenly supported.  The proposal was not separately notified pursuant to the Reserves Act as staff concluded that the use of the site would not adversely affect the public’s access to the reserve because it had been closed to the public for safety reasons.  In August 2001 the Department of Conservation, pursuant to s48A Reserves Act 1977 consented to a licence for a telecommunications facility and to the construction and maintenance of an access track. 

Renewal and equipment changes

In February 2004 Vodafone advised Council of their intention to make changes to the tower equipment i.e. install one 2.3m (approximately) panel antenna to increase the number of antennae on site from 5 to 6, and to install additional or replacement equipment mounts, lines, cables, cable trays and such other ancillary work as may be required to effect the changes detailed above. 

In April 2004 Vodafone requested a renewal of the licence term for a further 5 years with a final termination date of 15 September 2019.  Council staff consented to the tower equipment changes and to the renewal.

2) Discussion and Options

The current Vodafone proposal is for two additional antennas to be attached to the cell tower plus equipment cabinets at the base of the tower to accommodate 2Degrees and possibly Spark. The intention is to swap out the head of the 15 - 20 meter tower to a ring-head to accommodate all antennas.  Vodafone has stated that the tower will remain at 15 - 20 metres high.  2Degrees are planning to add three antennas, shown on the ring-frame plan at 320, 220 and 90 degrees.  Vodafone will install, operate and maintain the facility as usual. 

The licensed area is approximately 510m2 of Section 3 Block XIII Whakarara Survey District and includes maintenance of the access track.

Cumulative effects of radio emissions

2Degrees advised Council staff (see letter dated 30 July 2018) they were satisfied that if the facility had become operational as at 30 July 2018 the predicted cumulative radiofrequency field levels at places in the vicinity of the facility, that are reasonably accessible to the general public, would not reach or exceed 25% of the maximum level authorised by NZS 2772: Part 1:1999 Radiofrequency Fields Part 1 – Maximum Exposure Levels – 3 Khz to 30 GHz.

Council’s planning staff stated that if the proposal complies with the standards, which staff have been advised that it does, then it is a permitted activity under the District Plan rules, and no resource consent is required. 

Reserves Act 1977 (s.48A), Council Policy

Council has the power by way of the 2013 ministerial delegation (under certain criteria) to approve the granting of a licence over a reserve and to set conditions.  Council has delegated to the Community Board the authority to make recommendations in regard to the use of reserves which are not contemplated by an existing reserve management plan, providing these are consistent with Council policy and the Reserves Act 1977. 

Public notification is a requirement under the Reserves Act 1977 however this can be waived if certain criteria are met i.e. if the reserve is vested in the territorial authority, if the reserve is not likely to be materially altered and the rights of the public in respect of the reserve will not be permanently affected. 

Council previously considered and consented to Vodafone’s use of the local purpose (quarry) reserve; the cell tower exists and is in use.  Council staff on advice received from Vodafone consider the proposed “add-ons” are not likely to materially alter the reserve and the rights of the public are not likely to be changed; therefore public notice of the “add-ons” is not required under the Reserves Act 1977.  This application for a new licence requires Council consent on two counts i.e. in its role as the administering body of the reserve and in its role as the delegate of the Minister of Conservation. 

Council’s Reserves Policy does not apply to existing public utility works such a power poles, power lines, sewage pump stations etc. 

Licence terms

Term:                            10 years

Renewal term:              10 years

Annual rental:                $9,000 per annum plus GST (if any)

Rent reviews:                3 yearly from commencement date, linked to Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Reason for the recommendation

The local purpose (quarry) reserve is not currently required for alternative use; the telecommunications facility exists and is in use.  The community will benefit from the improved facility i.e. communication quality will be enhanced.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

Council will receive an annual rental for the use of the land and Vodafone will maintain the facility and the access track.

7.1         Kerikeri Domain Governance Report

File Number:           A2593998

Author:                    Rachael Pull, Specialist Planner - Urban Design

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

 

Purpose of the Report

To provide an update on the recommendation going forward to Council to establish a governing body for the Kerikeri Domain.

Executive Summary

At the 27 June 2019 Council meeting the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board (Community Board) recommended that the Kerikeri Domain Reserve Management Plan (Management Plan) be adopted subject to the changes made by the Community Board to address submission issues.  The changes included an action point for the Council ‘…to consider the establishment of an incorporated society representing the community to manage and oversee the [Kerikeri] Domain”. 

Council adopted the Management Plan including amendments recommended by the Community Board and resolved to direct a report back on the options for the establishment of a management committee.  The report on the governance and attached legal advice will be presented to Council at the 3 October 2019 meeting to facilitate the discussion on options to establish a governing body.

Recommendation

That the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board receives the Kerikeri Domain Governance Report.

 

 

Background

The Management Plan was prepared under section 41 of the Reserves Act 1977.  It sets out how the Kerikeri Domain will be used and managed over the next ten years.  During the consultation process and in submissions received and heard, there was a request from the public to re-establish a governing body for the Kerikeri Domain.  This was incorporated by the Community Board into the Management Plan and adopted by Council on 27 June 2019.  The action within the Management Plan stated:

“Within six months, Council in partnership with the Community Board and community consider the establishment of an incorporated society representing the community to manage and oversee the Domain”.

As part of the resolution to adopt the Management Plan, Council also resolved that they would receive a report outlining the options for the establishment of a reserve management committee.  This is a different governance body to that preferred by the Community Board and included as an action item.

The Governance Report discusses the options for both types of governing bodies as well as that status quo of governance remaining with Council or being delegated to the Community Board.  The legal advice attached concludes that any reserve management committee should not be an incorporated society.  Therefore both are discussed as separate options.

The Governance Report recommends the establishment of an incorporated society as it will represent the users of the Kerikeri Domain and have the ability to fundraise and implement the actions within the Management Plan. 

Discussion and Next Steps

The Governance Report will be presented to Council to recommend the following:

·    Council to support the creation of an incorporated society to manage the Kerikeri Domain;

·    Administration to call for expressions of interest from the public for people willing to establish an incorporated society and facilitate the establishment of it;

·    Council to enter into a formal agreement with the incorporated society once established to manage the Kerikeri Domain on behalf of Council.

Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

This report does not result in any financial implications for the Community Board as the Kerikeri Domain is managed by Council as a significant district wide facility.  The budget will for this will be set through the Annual Plan and Long Term Plan.

Subject:

Kerikeri Domain Governance

1)   Introduction

Kerikeri Domain is located in Central Kerikeri off Cobham Road.  It is the only significant green space in the urban area of Kerikeri and is therefore multi-purpose, fulfilling the needs of many different users from sports codes to pedestrian routes. 

The site was originally part of the ‘peoples reserve/children’s land’, set aside for tangata whenua, however it was taken under the Bay of Islands Settlement Act 1858.  It started being developed for recreation purposes in 1928.  The first community group to manage it, the Kerikeri Recreation Reserve (Inc) Society was formed in 1934.  In 1953 the Kerikeri Domain was transferred to the Crown and the Kerikeri Domain Board was set up to administer it.  Until 2012, it was managed by the Kerikeri Domain Charitable Trust.

The Kerikeri Domain is just over 3 hectares and is made up of several lots owned by the Department of Conservation (on behalf of the Crown) and the Far North District Council.  Part of an adjoining field is owned by the Ministry of Education and is often treated as part of the Kerikeri Domain, although management remains with the Kerikeri High School. 

Kerikeri Domain is currently identified as a significant district wide asset, meaning that decisions relating to the maintenance and development are the responsibility of Council.

The purpose of this document is to provide elected members with an overview of the current management situation with Kerikeri Domain and to set out the options for an alternative governance body as set out in the June 2019 Council minutes.

2)   Background

The Kerikeri Domain has a long history of being managed by the community.  From 1928 to 2012 (when the Kerikeri Domain Charitable Trust was deregistered) the Kerikeri Domain has been managed by a mix of the public and Council representatives.  The makeup of the last board was:

·    The Mayor

·    A Councillor

·    A Community Board member

·    A sport representative

·    A school representative

·    A Kerikeri residents representative

·    Chair

Since 2012, the governance of the Kerikeri Domain has rested solely with the Far North District Council.  On 27 June 2019, the Council adopted the Kerikeri Domain Reserve Management Plan to manage and develop the Kerikeri Domain over the next ten years. At the same time, it was resolved to explore the option of a governing body for the Kerikeri Domain.

2.1 Kerikeri Domain Reserve Management Plan

The Reserves Act 1977 (section 41) requires that Council owned or managed reserves (unless they are classified as a local purpose reserve), must have a reserve management plan; and that such plans are under continuous review (although it is best practice to review at least once every ten years).

 

The process to create the Kerikeri Domain Reserve Management Plan (Management Plan) was an opportunity to consolidate the future direction of Kerikeri Domain and the roles and responsibilities for leading and shaping that direction.

 

It is the responsibility of Council to implement the Management Plan.  This will be achieved by working with administration and any governance body to prioritise the actions and ensure that the Kerikeri Domain is being maintained to an agreed standard.  It also provides certainly for community groups wanting to achieve the actions within the Management Plan by fundraising or organising volunteer events because there is a clear process to follow.

 

The Management Plan also provided an opportunity to align the development of Kerikeri Domain with other strategic initiatives; particularly the Far North 2100 Strategy (in the Management Plan known as Sustainable District Strategy) and the 2014 Northland Sports Facilities Plan.

3)   Roles and Responsibilities

The purpose of this section is to define different governance bodies to ensure Council has the information to make an informed decision about the governance of the Kerikeri Domain.

 

The first action in the Management Plan is for Council to ‘…consider the establishment of an incorporated society representing the community to manage and oversee the Domain’.   The Council item refers to “…a reserve management committee for the Kerikeri Domain, to manage the domain and its use”.  These are two different governance bodies for the Kerikeri Domain which are discussed below along with the internal options.

 

3.1 Bay of Islands- Whangaroa Community Board

Kerikeri Domain is currently set out as having district wide significance, meaning that it is the responsibility of the whole of Council, as opposed to the Community Board that manages the ward.  For the purposes of developing the Management Plan, the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board (Community Board) was delegated the responsibility to hear, consider and make a recommendation based on submissions to Council.

 

The advantage of having the Kerikeri Domain governed by the Community Board is the reduction of red tape.  The only decision making body for new activities is the Community Board.  Also there is more local voices making the decisions as the Community Board members are drawn from the ward they represent as opposed to the Council which is made up of representatives from the district at large.

 

3.2 Council

Council is responsible for making key strategic decisions around the governance of the Kerikeri Domain.  This includes financial planning and significant procurement. Because the Kerikeri Domain is at district wide significance, it is also responsible for:

·    Appointing a governing body if they deem it necessary for the Kerikeri Domain;

·    Approving the Management Plan (the ability to hear and consider was delegated to the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board); and

·    Approve or refuse the use and/or lease of the Kerikeri Domain (where the issue is not covered by the Management Plan).

 

Therefore the decision to appoint a governing body and what type is with Council to consider.

 

The advantage of having the Kerikeri Domain governed by Council is that the costs of governance and maintenance remain the same. The only decision making body for new activities would be the Council who would be limited to the matters in the Management Plan.   The adoption of the Management Plan has reduced the delays in implementing actions on the Kerikeri Domain that existed previously, as actions stated within the Management Plan no longer need to go to Council or be notified to the public. 

 

3.3 Council Administration

Administration are responsible for implementing and keeping in continuous review the Management Plan and currently for scheduling regular maintenance of Kerikeri Domain.  Any proposed changes to who implements these objectives will need to be set out by the agreement between Council and governing body appointed by Council.  Administration would provide professional support and guidance to the governance body in addition to leading any Council processes necessary to implement it.

It is envisioned that the governing body would have the responsibility for (currently with administration):

·    Basic maintenance of the Domain (as set out in any agreement reached);

·    Provide regular advice to Council on the on-going management;

·           Ensure that the Domain is managed to promote the vision and objectives of the Kerikeri Domain Reserve Management Plan by reviewing actions not in the Management Plan and providing a recommendation to Council;

·    Managing the booking of the facilities;

·           Managing the operational expenditure including water, pan charges, power, telephone, cleaning and minor maintenance and repairs of the assets on the Kerikeri Domain;

·    Providing a reviewed annual statement on the financial accounts and activity report; and

·    Inform Council of major maintenance and capital improvements.

They will not have responsibility over (remaining with administration and Council):

·           The Procter Library (due to its significance as part of the ongoing Library Strategy);

·           Setting the budget to manage the Kerikeri Domain;

·           The administration of leases on the Kerikeri Domain;

·           Approval of development within the Kerikeri Domain Reserve Management Plan; or

·           Reviewing the Kerikeri Domain Reserve Management Plan.

Depending on the governing body selected and the formal agreement reached with Council, these responsibilities may change.

The Council would contribute an annual grant towards the services provided by the governance body.  For most reserve management committees this sum is $5,000 per annum.  The incorporated society in charge of Lindvart Park receives $40,000 per annum from Council due to their wider responsibilities.  In return, Council would receive on an annual basis, a copy of the accounts which include the items of expenditure and income for the governing body.

3.4 Kerikeri Domain Reserve Management Committee

Under the provisions of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA), a Council can establish various committees to fulfil specific purposes. A reserve management committee (committee) is formally set up as a committee of Council. It is disestablished at the end of each election cycle. Specifically, Schedule 7 clause 30(7) of the LGA reads as follows:

“A committee, subcommittee, or other subordinate decision-making body is, unless the local authority resolves otherwise, deemed to be discharged on the coming into office of the members of the local authority elected or appointed at, or following, the triennial general election of members next after the appointment of the committee, subcommittee, or other subordinate decision-making body.”

Therefore the committee will have to be re-appointed after each election by the Council.

The Reserves Policy recommends 4 or more members, including a Community Board member.  The submissions on the Kerikeri Domain Reserve Management Plan that requested this committee suggested representatives from Iwi, the High School and the high users (Rugby League, Cricket, Bowling Club, dog walkers, Mai Life).  The Charitable Trust that previously managed the Domain also contained the Mayor, a Councillor and a Community Board member. 

There have been requests from the public about having a public nomination process for the committee.  Council can either appoint members directly or invite the community to nominate suitable people, but Council would still decide who would be appointed. 

The advantage of having a reserve management committee is that Council can appoint the members directly every election cycle meaning that it can ensure that the committee represents the users of the Kerikeri Domain.  An elected member will also sit on the committee to make sure that it is maintaining the Kerikeri Domain to the level required by the community.

 

3.5 Kerikeri Domain Incorporated Society

It was recommended in the action section of the Management Plan that the governing body be an incorporated society.  The advantages of an incorporated society are:

·    It becomes a separate legal entity;

·    It can enter into a contract in its own name;

·    It can continue as a separate entity even though its membership changes; and

·           There will be certainty in the way the society is run (to meet the requirements in the Incorporated Societies Act 1908).

 

The Community Board specifically stated incorporated society in the action as they wished the governing body to be able to fundraise to implement the actions within the Management Plan and not be solely dependent on Council for funding.  They also envisioned the group taking on more responsibility than the maintenance and day to day operation than most reserve management committees.

 

Lindvart Park is managed by an incorporated society (Kaikohe and Districts Sportsville).  The society is made up of representatives of the main sports codes that use Lindvart Park.  The users are harder to define for the Kerikeri Domain as many users do not belong to a club (dog walkers, casual walkers, users of the playground, skate park).

 

Therefore if this option was chosen by Council, administration would have to work with the community to determine how the different users and interest groups of the Kerikeri Domain would be represented.  This would have to be formalised in either the constitution of the incorporated society or the agreement with Council to prevent the governance from not representing all users.  Because of this additional work, this option would take the longest to establish. 

 

3.6 Discussion of governance options

The purpose of looking at alternative governance bodies has come out of several factors:

·    The special significance of Kerikeri Domain;

·    The previous difficultly in providing new infrastructure and activities in the Kerikeri Domain;

·           The potential for the governance body to fundraise to implement the actions in the Management Plan; and

·    The long history of the Kerikeri Domain being manged directly by the public.

The Management Plan has set out a clear process to allow community groups and administration to implement actions approved within it.  This addresses some of the concern surrounding the request for a governance body.  However the consultation on the Management Plan identified a strong wish by the public to have more direct governance of the Kerikeri Domain.  This is reflected in the action in the Management Plan which states that the Council makes the decision regarding governance in partnership with the community and Community Board. 

If the Kerikeri Domain is governed by either Council or the Community Board, the maintenance work can continue to be managed by administration which is cost effective.  The ability for the community to have input is limited to annual plan/ten year plan submissions and speaking at the start of elected member meetings.  Decisions on new actions are made by the one delegated authority (Council or the Community Board).

If a reserve management committee is established, it will have to be renewed every three years and its members appointed by Council.  There is Council representation within the group.  This method allows for as many members as Council wants and it can control who is on the committee to ensure it is a fair representation of Kerikeri Domain users.  However a reserve management committee lacks the ability to fundraise and implement actions within the Management Plan outside Council funding.

If an incorporated society is chosen by the Council, a process will need to begin to create the society and appoint their members.  For Kaikohe and Districts Sportsville this took over a year.  Until the society is incorporated and formally appointed by Council, the governance would remain with Council.  An incorporated society recognises the significance of the Kerikeri Domain, maximises community management and allows for the development of the Kerikeri Domain by community fundraising rather than being solely dependent on Council funds.

Administration received legal advice in 2017 recommending against reserve management committees being registered as incorporated societies as it would be ultra vires. It would no longer be a committee under the Local Government Act 2002.  A copy of this legal advice is attached. 

It is recommended that an incorporated society is established.  This would involve calling for expressions of interest from the public and working with administration to set up an incorporated society that will represent the Kerikeri Domain users.  Council would then enter into a formal agreement with them on their responsibilities and how much Council will contribute.  This would minimise the costs of implementing the Management Plan and maximise community governance.

7.2         Adoption of the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board Strategic Plan

File Number:           A2628549

Author:                    Robert Willoughby, Community Development Advisor

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

 

Purpose of the Report

The purpose of this report is to adopt the strategic plan for the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board. The plan is the continuance of community development within the ward to inform and contribute to Council planning processes.

Executive Summary

·        The report presents the strategic plan as developed by the Community Board that is intended to support the prioritisation and allocation of its Community Grants Fund, Placemaking Fund and other initiatives.

·        The plan also gives an outline of the planning processes that will feed into the 2019/20 Annual Plan.

 

Recommendation

That the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board:

a)   adopts the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board Strategic Plan with additions or adjustments if required.

b)   agrees the following priorities be considered at an Annual Plan workshop for inclusion in the 2019/20 Annual Plan.

·    Community Empowerment

·    Youth

·    Senior Citizens

·    Economic priorities

·    Community Pride

·    Safety (footpaths & Lighting)

·    Public Facilities

·    Walkways and Cycle Way Development

·    Recreation and Waterways Development

 

1) Background

Community Boards were given a mandate to develop their own Strategic Plans for consideration at each Annual Plan and LTP. The attached Community Board Strategic Plan builds on the 2018/19 Strategic Plan in re-setting the Community Board’s priorities for 2019/20.

2) Discussion and Options

Community Development staff have supported workshops with the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board to develop the attached Strategic Plan. The purpose of the plan is to highlight community wants, needs and priorities.

While priorities are identified in the plan it also informs how the board will allocate it’s Community Grant Funding and engages in the Ward priorities for 2019/20. 

 

The Strategic Plan contains both the Board’s and communities’ priorities which provides a mechanism for the Board to agree on local priorities that will inform the Board’s input into the 2019/20 Annual Plan Process through an Annual Plan workshop.

Reason for the recommendation

In producing this Strategic Plan, the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board has updated their 2018/19 Strategic Plan to reset ward and community priorities. This report now seeks approval from the board to formally adopt their Strategic Plan and agree the priorities for an Annual Plan workshop.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

Financial implications and budgetary provisions are in the 2018-28 Long Term Plan and any additional funding or change in funding will be determined in the 2019/20 Annual Plan.

7.3         Naming of Esplanade Reserve, Richardson Street, Opua

File Number:           A2643822

Author:                    Kathryn Trewin, Support Officer

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

 

Purpose of the Report

To enable the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board to recommend to Council an appropriate name for the esplanade reserve located on Richardson Street, Opua.

Executive Summary

·        A Special Consultative Procedure on this matter was conducted during August 2019. 28 Submissions were received.

·        The majority of feedback supported adoption of a name that acknowledges pre-European settlers.

·        Those who opposed the name generally did so because they felt the name suggested was not representative of the location, or that the iwi recommending the name were not the appropriate iwi to consult.

 

 

Recommendation

That the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board recommend that Council:

a)      approve the name of Hopua Esplanade Reserve be adopted for the reserve located on Richardson Street, Opua.

b)      note that the name may need to be reconsidered when the Wai 149 Treaty Claim is settled.

 

 

1) Background

The esplanade reserve on Richardson Street, Opua, was formed in 1998. The reserve has never been given a legal name and over the years has become known as Wall’s Bay Reserve in reference to the Walls family who resided there.

Initial enquiries indicate that Ngati Manu were the iwi with responsibility for this whenua, although consultation revealed that Ngati Hine and Te Kapotai also have kaitiaki of this piece of land.

The name consulted on was Waipuna, the preference of Ngati Manu, and commemorating a battle where the leader Te Kiore died and in reference to a spring. It appears, however, that the spring referred to is located nearer to the Opua Industrial Estate.

Opua is subject to a Treaty of Waitangi claim (Wai 149), with Ngati Manu, Ngati Hine and Te Kapotai working with Treaty of Waitangi researchers to confirm the original names of a number of locations within the greater Opua area. 

The consultation period ran from Monday 29 July – Friday 30 August 2019.  More than 400 flyers were delivered to mailboxes of Opua residents to notify them of the consultation, and an open day was held at the Opua Hall on Friday 16 August to allow the community to drop in and discuss the proposal with the Board in person. Over the course of three sessions, six people took the opportunity to speak with the Board and share their opinions on the naming of the reserve.  Five of them made written submissions to the consultation process.

2) Discussion and Options

Submissions

Twenty-eight written submissions were received on the matter. Three supported the proposal to name the reserve Waipuna, while 11 opposed. A further 14 liked the idea of a pre-European name but were not sure this Waipuna would be the right one.

Those opposing the name or seeking amendments provided the following feedback:

·    Preference to retain the informal name Wall’s Bay (5)

·    Name the reserve the Richardson Street Esplanade Reserve (1)

·    Name the reserve either Opua or Hopua Esplanade Reserve (7)

·    Ngati Manu should not recommend a name without input from the other iwi (Ngati Hine and Te Kapotai)

·    Independently-sourced historical records do not support this being the location of the spring the name of Waipuna refers to.

While the name of Waipuna was not universally supported, there was strong preference for a Maori name for the reserve.

Verbal submissions received at the open day on 16 August 2019 supported the feedback from written submissions.

Naming Options

Options acknowledged by submissions include:

1        Waipuna Reserve (the name consulted on)

2        Wall’s Bay Reserve – the current informal name of the reserve.

3        Opua or Hopua Esplanade Reserve

4        Richardson Street Reserve

5        Decline to recommend a name be adopted, as the renaming of landmarks within the area is subject to settlement of the Wai 149 Treaty of Waitangi claim, a joint claim made by the three identified iwi (Ngati Manu, Ngati Hine and Te Kapotai) who have an interest in the whenua where the reserve is located.

Reason for the recommendation

Of the submissions that were received there was strong preference for a Maori name, and since the name Waipuna was not universally supported the recommended name of Hopua Esplanade Reserve is recommended. 

The Community Board should note that the name may be subject to change depending on the outcome of the settlement of Wai 149.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

There are no financial implications to the Community Board.

Compliance requirement

Staff assessment

State the level of significance (high or low) of the issue or proposal as determined by the Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy

This decision is not of high significance.  It is significant to locals and may be controversial.

State the relevant Council policies (external or internal), legislation, and/or community outcomes (as stated in the LTP) that relate to this decision.

The Community Board has the delegated authority to name Council reserves.

FNDC Reserve Policy (2017) outlines the process and requirements.

State whether this issue or proposal has a District wide relevance and, if not, the ways in which the appropriate Community Board’s views have been sought.

This proposal is of limited interest to the wider community, but of high interest to the local community and tangata whenua of Opua.  The Community Board was requested to consult with their community on this matter.

State the possible implications for Māori and how Māori have been provided with an opportunity to contribute to decision making if this decision is significant and relates to land and/or any body of water.

Initial contact was made with Ngati Manu iwi, who we were advised were the kaitiaki of this whenua, and provided the name of Waipuna for consultation.  Subsequent discussions also identified Ngati Hine and Te Kapotai iwi as having an interest in the location. Feedback was sought from both parties and the information received has been incorporated into the main report.

Identify persons likely to be affected by or have an interest in the matter, and how you have given consideration to their views or preferences (for example – youth, the aged and those with disabilities.

·    Ngati Manu

·    Ngati Hine

·    Te Kapotai

·    Opua residents and ratepayers

State the financial implications and where budgetary provisions have been made to support this decision.

The costs involved with the consultation include public meetings; public notification of the consultation to legally name the reserve via gazetting and signage can be covered from existing operational budgets.

Requests for Service/Information

 

RFS-3937092

An RFS was submitted to address urgent roof repairs needed at the Simson Park Hall, Moerewa. An email response received from Nicole Wooster (Executive Liaison to the CEO) on the 28th of February 2019 noted: “This has been reassigned to the Infrastructure and Asset Management Group. I have asked for a date and promise by close of business 8 March 2019 as to what action will be taken. Please note this may not be a full and final response”.

Zane Wright (Senior Facilities Technical Officer) later raised the matter with me by phone, noting that he needed to determine who owned the Simson Park Hall Building before responding to the RFS. Another email response was received from Nicole Wooster on the 2nd of April 2019 noting: “A discussion has been held with Polly Morrow (Fixed Asset Accountant) and Tanya Procter (Team Leader, Infrastructure Programmes) who both advise Council does not own the Hall and has no responsibility over maintenance etc. I understand that Zane Wright from our District Facilities team will be in touch to relay this message to you and answer any questions you might have”.

         *The Simson Park Hall roof is still in urgent need of repair. The damaged area is now impacting the internal electrical fixtures. The Simson Park Hall Committee will seek funding assistance from the Community Board for the repairs asap.

Unresolved.

Georgina has noted that the road is in extremely poor condition making vehicle access difficult for her brother and any medical/emergency services who may need to reach him.

RFS-3965677

RFS submitted on behalf of Moerewa ratepayer/resident Daniel Schultz and the Moerewa Community on the 29th of July 2019. They would like to request that a council rubbish bin be moved and positioned inside the Moerewa Netball Courts asap. The courts are used daily and host competition and social netball games regularly throughout the year. Rubbish in and around the court has been an ongoing issue and was raised at the last Moerewa Community Hui.

After receiving no response from Council, another RFS was submitted online on the 23rd of August 2019. An email response was received from Ranga (Ask us team, District Services) on 26 August 2019 noting: “I have checked RFS-3965677 and can see here that there are plans to have the rubbish bin moved, there is no timeframe on when this will take place so i have put a note on the account requesting a update on this”. After another follow up email requesting the date for the rubbish bin to be moved, I received the following email from Aneta (Ask us team, District Services) noting:Your response has been added to the current RFS-3965677. As of today we have still not received a date of when this will take place but we really do appreciate your patience during this process. I am hoping we get a reply from our contractors ASAP”. 

*Moerewa ratepayers/residents Daniel Schultz and Albert Baker were notified of Council’s response to date. They have asked that the bin be positioned inside the courts, in a place where it will not get in the way of play and so it can be used by both the netball courts and the adjacent Moerewa exercise bars.​ Still awaiting confirmation of date for bin movement.

*Unresolved.

RFS-3939616

Request that Library hours for the Kawakawa Library include one late weekday night and one weekend day (or part day) so that whanau can use the library services outside of regular working hours.

Council Response 1 Email from Nicole Wooster (Executive Liaison to the CEO) on 6 March 2019: “Thank you for your request regarding extension of public library hours.  I have reassigned RFS 3939616 to Dean Myburgh, General Manager - District Services for his attention.  District Services will provide me with a D&P by 14 March 2019”.

Response 2 Email from Nicole Wooster on 13 March 2019: “As part of the relocation plans into the new facility Te Hononga and the implementation of our Libraries strategy, staff will be reviewing the days/hours that the Library will be open. As you can appreciate a number of things will need to be taken into account, least of all any extra costs that may be associated with a change to level of service. Staff will continue to consult with the community on any changes and as always appreciate the feedback”.

Response 3 Email from Nicole Wooster on 18 March 2019: “I have referred your further comments to Dean Myburgh, General Manager - District Services.  Libraries is part of Dean's portfolio of management responsibilities.  I have asked Dean to consider your feedback and advise if there is any opportunity available that could escalate this request on behalf of the community”.

Response 4 Email from Nicole Wooster on 29 March 2019: “The building of Te Hononga has commenced and the plan is that this will be open in the earlier part of 2020. In the meantime, options for changing opening days/times are being investigated. I hope this covers your below enquiry and that I may now close this RFS”.

Response 5 Email from Nicole Wooster on 29 March 2019: “Thank you for your feedback and further question.  I have referred this matter back to Jacine Warmington, Manager - Community and Customer Services and asked if she can offer any further detail on this project.  I hope to have a response from Jacine by 5th April 2019”.

Response 6 Phone call from Jacine Warminton (Manager- Community and Customer Services) April 2019. Jacine explained that any extension to the Kawakawa library service hours would require additional funding for two members of staff (not just one, due to health and safety requirements), adding that there was no money in the current budget for this change. She proposed the following alternatives: 1) Approach council to make additional funding available by looking at other libraries in the district, that have budgetary allowance for extended hours- but have not been performing well/showing high usage- like Kaikohe. Jacine suggested that we make a case for Kawakawa Library to receive Kaikohe’s funding instead; or 2) Look at shifting opening hours to stay open one late night in the week e.g.Thursdays10am-6.30pm; and form a team of community volunteers who will support 1 staff member to man the Kawakawa Library from 4.30 till 6.30 pm closedown, for a set trial period. This option would not require additional funding.

 *My immediate response to Jacine was that our community would not support trying to take funding away from our whanau in Kaikohe. I explained that a team of volunteers had already offered to help man the additional library hours if/when needed, and that I would take some time to discuss option 2 further with fellow board members at our upcoming hui.

Response 11 Email from Jacine Warmington on 17 July 2019: “Just touching base again regarding the Library and request for extended hours. We’ve done further work to accommodate the request and this is where we have got to: From 1 July we propose to open the Library on Saturday’s 9am – 1pm, with two staff members on-site (for security / H&S reasons). We will maintain same hours Monday – Friday i.e. 8am – 4.30pm. As advised previously planning for library staffing in the new Te Hononga space will begin shortly. This will include a review of opening hours and options. We are in the process of recruiting a qualified Librarian to replace Nicola Smith who is now Senior Librarian at Procter Library, Kerikeri. Nicola will have oversight of the Kawakawa Library also”.

*On 6 July 2019 Kawakawa Library shifted to the new extended hours, opening on a Saturday from 9-1pm.

*In August 2019, concern was raised at our Community board hui that Kawakawa Library would be closed on a Monday when the Te Hononga complex opened in 2020, to accommodate new operating hours running from Tuesdays to Saturdays. Meetings Administrator Kim Hammond raised these concerns with Council on our behalf and received the following response:

Response 12 Email from Chris Pigott (Manager- Libraries and Museums) to Kim Hammond on 14 August 2019: “I can confirm the library will be open Monday to Saturday. The hours will likely be the same as now and won’t be reduced”.

*I have included the above responses from council(8 out of approx.12 communications in total) to offer some insight into the challenging environment our community board members can sometimes work in- to request, receive and maintain the simplest of things for the ratepayers and residents within our subdivisions. I was heartened by the many council staff who met my persistence (and insistence) with creativity and a perceived commitment to serve the growing need for library services in our area.

After reviewing a memo written by Chris Pigott dated 26th April 2019(stating that “Planning for library staffing in the new Te Hononga space will begin shortly. This will include a review of opening hours and options”); Matched with community concern over reduced hours for the new centre, I was relieved to receive a copy of his email noted above- confirming that the Kawakawa library will be open Monday- Saturday with no reduction of current hours in the future.

Resolved.

Issues

I have been adding more and more detail to the RFS notes throughout the term so our Kawakawa Moerewa Subdivision can follow the variety of service requests submitted to council and how they are processed and dealt with by the staff. Names, dates and departments have been included to offer ratepayers and residents another layer of transparency and accountability in service delivery to our area. The devil, after all, is in the details.

Given this report is already 8 pages long. I’ll keep my remaining notes brief.

Thank you to all of the staff, community board members and councillors who helped in some way to serve the desperate need in our Kawakawa Moerewa subdivision. We are grateful.

To everyone who voted for me, thank you. To all of you who supported me in this role, thank you. I’ve learned so much and tried my hardest to serve our community in a way that is consistent with our identity, tikanga, beliefs and values. It has been a privilege.

Love, Manuwai.

Issues

·        Continued concern in regard to the impact of Cruise Ships and the potential damage to the core tourist income sectors e.g. Accommodation, Food.

·        The impact of bus tours on public facilities including traffic with little or no benefit for local communities.

·        Lack of any provision of marine facilities to service the massive growth in trailer boats in the Bay area. FNH appears to only be interested in funding commercial activities. Windsor landing would appear to have been placed on a back shelf.

·        The need for the Council to prioritize the requirements for the aging population, whose normal demographic is being skewed by the large number of “Retirement Villages” being built and expanded in the Kerikeri area.

In Progress

·    Basketball Court

·    The Council in Public Exclusion has “anecdotally” made decisions re the Domain and Pavilion. This in my opinion makes a mockery of the time and effort put in by members of this Board. The fact the Council after almost 2 months has still not had the common courtesy to inform the Board of its decision, shows beyond any doubt the regard in which the Board is held by this Council; if I had been in the room when these actions were taken I would have “walked out”.

8.2         Item Left to Lie on the Table Road Naming Report - Weka Lane, Kerikeri

File Number:           A2621100

Author:                    Marie Boyd, Addressing Improvement Officer

Authoriser:             William J Taylor MBE, General Manager - Corporate Services

 

Purpose of the Report

To seek approval from the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board to name the following private roads.

Executive Summary

·        Council is required to ensure accurate road naming and property addressing in accordance with the Australian/New Zealand Addressing Standard – AS/NZ 4819.2011.

·        Community Boards have the delegated authority to name previously unnamed roads.

·        This report was presented to the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board for consideration at their meeting on 12 August 2019. The Community Board resolved to leave the report to lie on the table until consultation and approval with land owners and Ngāti Rēhia could be provided.

 

Recommendation

That the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board:

a)      uplifts the report “Road Naming Report” from the table for consideration.

b)      approves the naming of the private road currently addressed as 192A-E Lodore Road as Weka Lane.

 

1) Background

Far North District Council is required to ensure accurate road naming and property addressing is carried out in accordance with the Australian/New Zealand Addressing Standard – AS/NZ 4819.2011.

Both properties listed in this report have now met the property numbering threshold, and ongoing development of both areas will require the road to be named to meet Council’s policy and the standard.

2) Discussion and Options

The road name Weka is a duplicate name, however Land Information New Zealand have approved the duplication due to the geographic distance between the roads within the district.

As requested by the Community Board at their meeting on 12 August 2019, attached is the application for road naming including the consultation and agreement from five of the current property owners.

Ngāti Rēhia have not been consulted on the road naming of Weka Lane as the word “Weka” is in general usage and staff felt that iwi consultation was not required.

Reason for the recommendation

The name has local significance as outlined in the attached spreadsheet and meets the criteria set down in the Council’s Road Naming and Property Numbering Policy #2125 and the Australian/New Zealand Addressing Standard - AS/NZS 4819.2011.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

This work will be met from within existing budgets.
