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 Democracy 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.

COMMUNITY BOARD MEMBER'S REPORT
Report to: Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board
Member Name: Manuela Gmuer-Hornell
Subdivision: Opua – Russell
Date: 19 April 2021

Meeting |
25/03/2021 26/03/2021 07/04/2021 17/04/2021 19/04/2021 |
Combined Community Board Workshop - Kaikohe Border Control Launch - Opua Presentation Russell – Okiato Cycle Way – FNDC Kerikeri Tamariki Day – Russell Russell Town Hall Committee Meeting – Russell |
Issues/Feedback
The Draft District Plan was not available for the first week of the community engagement programme. Please revisit Russell with the appropriate staff to answer any questions for the District Plan Proposal prior to the consultation deadline. A follow-up visit has been promised – TBC (as per 19/4/2021)
Unfortunately, the rubbish bin issue for Russell is still not solved, nor has FNDC made any effort to come up with solutions – the community, on the other hand, has proposed several solutions to FNDC.
Projects being put on hold even after they had funding allocated – most recently a concise piece of the footpath by Opua School. A staff member left, and this project got passed over to FNHL; irresponsible and not transparent.
Jobs getting started (from RFS) and then not finished for weeks or months, been almost a year for some blocked culverts to be cleared!
This is what the FNDC customers – the ratepayers – are after, prompt replies and action to everyday needs. FNDC's average customers – the ratepayers – is not overly interested in how quick the turnaround is for building and resource consents. The average customer – the ratepayers – want their basic needs looked after, rubbish, water, sewage and roads. Time to look at the customers' – the ratepayers – view (not the property developers from out of our region)!
The contract for the Russell Transfer Station has been extended instead of being advertised and renewed. It is disappointing as the community shows strong interest to implement a different model for the Russell transfer station.
The RFS process seems to have stalled since the first lockdown and then again after/during the floods. Hence no RFS lodged! Please sort this process out and if needed, involve more contractors as soon as possible.
It intrigues me that Community Board Members can't contact FNDC staff. Still, community groups are welcome to meet with staff at Council Meetings.
Roading issues seem to get the cone treatment and justified as a "fix" – this is totally unacceptable and dangerous as well as very unsightly – we have several of these around my subdivision, and we get zero replies on follow-ups
The too-frequent sewage spills in Russell get the silent treatment from FNDC, more spills happened in Matauwhi Bay in November, and in December, a spill occurred at the Tapeka pump.
Issues with our small-town water supply in Russell, and yet again, staff need time to go through the historic agreements. This is a working system, and FNDC has no idea how and who is drawing water from a council-owned bore?
Time to pull your socks up, FNDC, and face the hard facts! You are letting communities down with their very basic needs of a sound sewage system and freshwater. FNDC needs to stop being risk-averse and start fixing aging assets, AND maybe it would help to allocate funds to EVERY town in your district to keep up with the maintenance. An 80-year plan won't fix our needs today.
The Board needs to make sure that management doesn't forward difficult decisions to the community boards without consulting or informing us in an appropriate timeframe. The no-surprises policy has to be both ways!

· Robertson Street Stormwater Project to be completed – Residents are not impressed (maybe the wrong word)
· Opua Resource Consent non-notified for development Franklin St/Kellet St – petition tabled at CB Meeting 3/2/2020 – this has now gone to a full (over 100 attendees) community meeting 8/3/2020 – and we have just been told FNHL has sold the land to a private developer. The land is now occupied by hapu and locals. This is a community being pushed out of their town.
· Carpark for Oasis Community Centre – this has been ongoing since 2018
· Lack of rubbish collection point and recycling collection during peak season around Russell Wharf (owned by FNHL) and this is still NOT solved
· Footpath Kellet Street – Opua School – been approved but not carried out – after been promised to be finished by September, it is now "scheduled" for January 2021 and as per this report, this is now FNHL project – I am opposing this decision.
· Petition Okiato Boundary for paper road RFS-3996575 – tabled at CB meeting 9/12.19 – the cost to be carried by petitioners. Motion passed in November 2020 CB meeting
· Include re-doing the FNHL terms of reference/objective in their comments about what the next annual plan and long term plan should cover. – tabled at CB Meeting 3/2/2020
· Walls Bay, Opua – to be occupied by local hapu
· Speed Limit Review
· The contract for Russell Transfer Station to be officially tendered
· Maintenance in Russell Township to be outsourced to a local community group
· Mark boundaries at the "Walls Bay" Opua reserve clearly with bollards
· Lack of vision after excessive roadside spraying and cleaning up the aftermath.
· A newspaper advert for roadside spraying is starting 22/1- the job will go ahead as this is an existing contract! The previous round of spraying was paid for by Central Government as part of the COVID-19 recovery. Not sure why we need to carry on with the existing contract if FNDC wants to save money (gain from the covid recovery program)
· Flooding of the upstairs level at Russell Town Hall on Sunday 14/2/2021

Site meeting through town with Nina Gobie – positive discussion covering many matters. |
Issues/Feedback
Kaeo pool: Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Roading: The District are totally dissatisfied with quality (if any) of the state of our rural roads. Considering the percentage of rates going to roading. Are we getting value for money? If main contractor can make a profit from subbing work out are they paid too much?
2 Feb 2021: I did RFS4044474 after being shaken to bits in an ambulance on our Omaunu Road. NOTHING. Reply was that road was satisfactory. This road is now extremely dangerous with deep corrugations and traffic crossing the road to get traction.
Another RFS4054063: NO contact. I’m questioning the quality of the road inspectors.
Rate payers don’t give a hoot about building consents being issues on time. They want roads kept to a safe standard to lower car maintenance and safety for our families.
School Gully Road: I have had an interesting discussion with past owner, (now leasor) panel beater. Boundaries of titles are not as they seem and “historic” agreements were made to compensate boundary uses.
Resource Consents
RC2300415 – Small pizza business in Taupo Bay – No issue. I can’t remember when I last saw a Resource Consent.

7.2 Road Naming - 16 Silkwood Lane, Kerikeri
File Number: A3127947
Author: Selina Topia, Roading Support Officer
Authoriser: Andy Finch, General Manager - Infrastructure and Asset Management
Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report
To seek approval from the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board to officially name two private roads.
WhakarĀpopoto matua / Executive Summary
Council has received a Road Naming application to name two private roads both addressed at 16 Silkwood Lane, Kerikeri. Community Boards have delegated authority to name private roads. Iwi/Hapu do not agree with the naming of road 1.
ngĀ tŪtohunga / Recommendation That the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board approve the names for two private roads both addressed at 16 Silkwood Lane, Kerikeri: a) Lone Gum Lane b) Wapiti Way |
1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background
Mr Greg Moir from Bossy Ltd has advised that these are private roads created by a sub-division both addressed at 16 Silkwood Lane, Kerikeri.
Community Boards have delegated authority to name private roads.
Road 1 suggestions:
a. The name Hillthorpe is part of an Old Land Claim Plan 60 which was originally purchased by James Kemp and subdivided for his family. The subject land was given to Henry Tacy Kemp who built a house on it and called the property "Hillthorpe". The subdivision thus has a direct historical connection to this name. Reference Kerikeri - heritage of Dreams by Nancy Pickmere (pages 45-46).
b. The name Wapiti is a direct historical connection to the land albeit of a more recent nature. The present owners of the land purchased it in the 1980's and set up a small deer farm. Wapiti is a breed of Elk which was farmed on the property and the name conjures up memories of the mighty stags bellowing down the valley.
c. The name Lone Gum relates to the sole gum tree at the entrance to the subdivision.
Road 2 suggestions:

The subject land was given to Henry Tacy Kemp who built a house on it and called the property "Hillthorpe". The subdivision thus has a direct historical connection to this name. Reference Kerikeri - heritage of Dreams by Nancy Pickmere (pages 45-46).
c. The name Willowtree relates to the willow trees that the road leads on an adjoining property. The background for these names is given also as per the Road Naming application attached (A3075446).
2) Te matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / Discussion and Options
Applicant proposal
The applicant suggestions are as follows:
Road 1:
a. Hillthorpe Way
b. Wapiti Way
c. Lone Gum Lane
Road 2:
a. Wapiti Way
b. Hillthorpe Way
c. Willowtree Lane
Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) have no objections to the names suggested above.
Iwi consultation on proposed road names
Feedback has been received from a representative of Ngati Rehia. They do not support the name of Hillthorpe Way.
They do however, offer a number of alternatives being Kauri Lane, Puriri Place or Harakeke Road. Their reasoning is outlined in attachment (A3123604). In a reply, the customer expressed a preference to not consider these as per attachment (A3125709).
Options for road naming of 16 Silkwood Lane, Kerikeri
As per applicant request being:
Road 1 Hillthorpe Way
Road 2 Wapiti Way
Taking into consideration the Iwi/Hapu feedback, and still accommodating the applicants suggestions:
Road 1 Lone Gum Lane
Road 2 Wapiti Way
As per Iwi/ Hapu feedback with respect to road 1
Road 1 Harakeke Road
Road 2 Wapiti Way
Te Take Tūtohunga / Reason for the recommendation
The road names proposed by the applicant are not duplicates of any other road names in the District, therefore meeting the criteria set down in the Council’s Road Naming and Property Numbering Policy and the Australian/New Zealand Addressing Standard - AS/NZS 4819.2011.
In taking into consideration the Iwi/Hapu feedback from Ngati Rehia, option 2.3.2 is recommended. This option still adopts the various proposals from the applicant without adopting the road name being objected too.
3) NgĀ PĀnga PŪtea me ngĀ wĀhanga tahua / Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision
There will be no financial implications to Council relating to the installation of the road name signs (blue on white background name blade). The cost of the road signage and installation will be met by the applicant.

7.9 Winter 2021 Rural Travel Funding Applications
File Number: A3153895
Author: Kathryn Trewin, Funding Advisor
Authoriser: Ana Mules, Team Leader - Community Development and Investment
Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report
To allocate Rural Travel Funding for the 2021 winter sporting season.
That the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board allocates Rural Travel Grant funding in accordance with the recommendations received from Sport Northland as follows: a) Bay of Islands College $3000 b) Bay of Islands Amateur Swimming Club $2000 c) Kerikeri Gymnastics Club $1630 d) Kerikeri High School $1489 e) Kerikeri Rugby Football Club $2700 f) Moerewa J&T Rugby Club $2000 g) Russell Sports Club $1500 h) Wahine Toa Netball Club $1200 i) Whangaroa College $3500 j) Waka Atea $2500 Total $21,519 |
1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / 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 second of two funding rounds for the current financial year, for sporting activities taking place in winter, or until November 2019 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) matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / 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.
Project reports for any previous grants have been received from all the current applicants. Further detailed information provided by Sport Northland regarding their recommendations has been distributed to Board Members separately.

To fulfil the requirements of the Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund agreement with Sport New Zealand and the Kiwisport agreement with Sport Northland to increase participation in sport by young people living in rural communities.
3) PĀnga PŪtea me ngĀ wĀhanga tahua / 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.
The total budget for rural travel funding for the 2020/21 financial year is $50,080.30. The percentage of youth throughout the district is translated into percentages to calculate the percentage of funding each Board can allocate. It is recommended that only 40% of the total funding be allocated for summer activities and the remainder allocated for the busier winter sporting season.
The total available funds for the winter season is usually $12,044.70. Additional funds (including funding returned or unused by applicants from previous funding rounds, and funds carried over from previous funding rounds) have been added to this amount to allow the grant recommendations in this report to be made.
