Since then Council staff have been notified that Mrs Rose Pera was not fully aware of the history and had been incorrectly advised.

Desiree Witehira Harris and Mary Ammar, who are direct descendants of Mr Aperahama Raniera, have advised Council that the community have been upset by the name change as no consultation occurred.

He Take Ōkawa / Compliance Requirement

Aromatawai Kaimahi / 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

The Alfresco Dining Policy 2014 was revoked on 30 June 2022. Regulation of alfresco dining is outlined in the Road Use Bylaw 2022.

The rules around approvals for alfresco dining are essentially unchanged, and therefore the level of significance for the recommendation to comment on the renewal of alfresco dining applications from Kaikohe Bakehouse Cafe and A New Era Cafe is considered low.

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

2022 – Part 4 clause 13 and Part 7.

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.

The Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board have delegation over activities on reserves but also has delegation to comment on alfresco dining applications.

 

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.

State the possible implications and how this report aligns with Te Tiriti o Waitangi / The Treaty of Waitangi.

Māori had an opportunity to contribute during the consultation process on the new Road Use Bylaw 2022.

The Road Use Bylaw 2022 was adopted on 19 May 2022.

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).

Regulation of alfresco dining is of relevance to hospitality businesses, their employees, and all community members and visitors to the Far North District. However, the rules around licenses for alfresco dining have not changed in their effect, and therefore the level of significance of this decision is low.

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

There are no financial implications to this decision.

7.5         Initiation of public consultation for ground lease to Hokianga Bowling Club over 61 Clendon Esplanade, Rawene

File Number:           A4261098

Author:                    Michelle Rockell, Team Leader - Property Management

Authoriser:             Kevin Johnson, Group Manager - Delivery and Operations

 

Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report

To seek the Kaikohe – Hokianga Community Boards recommendation to initiate public consultation on the granting of a new ground lease over recreation reserve, under Sections 54 of the Reserves Act 1977 for 61 Clendon Esplanade, Rawene, to Hokianga Bowling Club Incorporated (HBC).

WhakarĀpopoto matua / Executive Summary

·        Hokianga Bowling Club Incorporated (HBC) have been operating a bowling club from the reserve since 1998.

·        Their lease dated 1st April 1998 held a term of 10 years, with a renewal term of a further 9 years. The final expiry date was 1st April 2017.

·        HBC are currently occupying and operating from the site and continue to pay an ongoing rental fee.

·        HBC have approached Council staff and requested a new ground lease.

·        There is no existing Reserve Management Plan for this site.

·        The Reserves Act 1977 requires public consultation on the issuing of a lease over a Recreation Reserve when no Reserve management plan is in place.

 

tŪtohunga / Recommendation

That the Kaikohe – Hokianga Community Board recommends to Council:

a)      that the public consultation process is commenced on the granting of a new ground lease to Hokianga Bowling Club Incorporated, over approximately 2700.9m2 of land being Sections 153, 157 and 158 TN OF Rawene, located at 61 Clendon Esplanade, Rawene and vested in Far North District Council as recreation reserve.

The terms of the proposed lease shall be:

Term: 15 years  (5+5+5) – allowed for under the Reserves Act 1977

Rental: As per FNDC Fees and Charges Schedule for a Community lease.

$118 plus GST for 2023/24 and reviewed annually in conjunction with the FNDC fees and Charges Schedule.

b)      is appointed to hear any submissions received in response to the consultation process and to make recommendations to Council.

 

1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background

Hokianga Bowling Club Incorporated (HBC) have occupied Allotments 153, 157 and 158 of Clendon Esplanade since the granting of their initial lease in 1998.

HBC approached Council in July 2022 to seek funding to build a shed. At that time, staff became aware that their lease expired in 2017 and was on holding over terms. HBC wish to apply for a new lease to continue to provide the community with a community bowling club.

HBC is a well-established community club that serves over 40 Hokianga community members. They hold twilight bowls games every week for 5 months of the year and 6-7 tournaments that are open to different bowls clubs from all of Northland.

The club room has also been used to hold team building events for Hokianga Treks 4 Kids, the Rawene Primary School and Rawene ambulance.

The building was built 115 years ago when the site was vested as Recreation Reserve for soldiers returning from the war. In 1925, the site became a bowling club that has continued to provide entertainment to Rawene and the wider Hokianga community.

2) matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / Discussion and Options

As per the Reserves Act 1977 section 54, public consultation is required on the granting of a lease over recreation reserve.

Public Notification

Sections 119 and 120 of the Act require that before granting a 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 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 Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board is therefore now required to make a recommendation to Council in respect of the proposal.

​The options available for this site are:

Option 1: Recommended

a) recommends to Council that the public consultation process is commenced on the granting of a new ground lease to Hokianga Bowling Club Incorporated, over approximately 2700.9m2 of land being Sections 153, 157 and 158 TN OF Rawene, located at 61 Clendon Esplanade, Rawene and vested in Far North District Council as recreation reserve.

The terms of the proposed lease shall be:

·    Term: 15 years (5+5+5) – allowed for under the Reserves Act 1977

·    Rental: As per FNDC Fees and Charges Schedule for a Community lease.

-     $118 plus GST for 2023/24 and reviewed annually in conjunction with the FNDC fees and Charges Schedule.

b)   is appointed to hear any submissions received in response to the consultation process and to make recommendations to Council.​

Option 1 will allow HBC to continue to provide their service to the community.

Option 2:

a.       Decline HBC request for a new lease

b.       ask HBC to remove the existing building and associated assets from the reserve and reinstate the recreation reserve at their cost.

TAKE TŪTOHUNGA / REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION

As per the FNDC Parks and Reserves Policy 2022, Council will grant exclusive leases to part or all of a reserve for a maximum term of 15 years with a further right of renewal for 15 years if it deems such terms to be appropriate. Proposing a term of 15 years (5+5+5) provides security of tenure for the HBC, ensures more regular check in’s and flexibility for both parties.

Public Notice is a statutory requirement under Reserves Act for the leasing of a Recreation Reserve.

Public consultation will enable Council to assess the community’s engagement with the HBC proposal. They believe that the space will continue to provide value to the Rawene community. 

​Public consultation gives the community the opportunity to put forward alternative options for the occupation of the building and/or the use of the site. 

3) PĀnga PŪtea me ngĀ wĀhanga tahua / Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

There will be no financial implications to Council if a lease to HBC is granted. If the request is revoked, Council will become responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the reserve. Adding another reserve to the maintenance plan would add extra pressure on staff and contractors.
