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.

7            Ngā Pūrongo / Reports

File Number:           A4249149

Author:                    Michelle Rockell, Team Leader - Property Management

Authoriser:             Kevin Johnson, Group Manager - Delivery and Operations

 

Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report

To seek recommendation from the Te Hiku Community Board on the renewal and granting of a new lease to Aupōuri Ngāti Kahu – Te Rarawa (ANT) over Tangonge Domain, Kaitaia.

WhakarĀpopoto matua / Executive Summary

·        Current Lessee: Aupouri Ngati Kahu-Te Rarawa Trust Inc (ANT Trust), being the umbrella organisation for Open the Curtains (OTC).

·        Current Lease Term: 5 years, 1 September 2018 – 31 August 2023.

·        Renewal: A further period of 5 years, 1 September 2023 – 31 August 2028 - Provided lease obligations have been met, there is sufficient community need for the specified activity and it is in the public’s interest.

·        Schedule 2 of the lease, the OTC Operational Management Plan, is the guiding document for the community lead project for better utilisation of the Reserve.

·        ANT wish to apply for third party funding and have requested a 30 year lease extension with final expiry on 31 August 2058.

Reserves Act Schedule 1: allows for a term ‘not exceeding 33 years’ and requires public notice.Information report to the Te Hiku Community Board - June 2022, was amended to include a recommendation to Council to initiate the process of a new long-term lease. The process to initiate a new long term lease was commenced in January 2023 when FNDC staff requested background information from the Trust. This information was received in June 2023.

tŪtohunga / Recommendation

That the Te Hiku Community Board recommends to Council:

a)      Approve the renewal of a further 5 year term, expiring on 31 August 2028, as allowed for in the current lease to Aupōuri Ngāti Kahu – Te Rarawa Trust over Tangonge Domain, being Recreation Reserve DP 108 Title NA530/132, located at 63 Bonnet Road, Kaitaia.

The terms being:

·    Term: 5 years

·    $118 plus GST per year in conjunction with the Fees & Charges Policy for 2023/24 and reviewed annually.

b)      Decline Aupōuri Ngāti Kahu – Te Rarawa Trust’s request to extend the lease for a further 30 years.

 

1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background

ANT Trust is a not-for profit organisation who were granted a lease over Tangonge Domain, Kaitaia, in September 2018. This lease allowed OTC, a community group operating under ANT Trust, to redevelop and transform the Domain into a safe and pleasant space for whanāu in Kaitaia West to gather, play and socialize. The site was being used to dump landfill and refuse, graze cows and a dog walking space.

At the time of granting the lease, OTC presented an Operational Management Plan (attached to lease, see attachment schedule below) which outlines how the development and maintenance of the Domain for the lifespan of the lease. This includes a Mara kai garden, fruit tree orchard, basketball court, children’s playground, walking track and exercise stations. To date, these above developments have not been carried out.

Projects completed to date include:

·    Development of the 2019 Tangonge Domain Concept Plan.

·    2020 Condition Report & Feasibility Study (funding obtained prior to the lease)

·    2021 Community Consultation which advised that ANT Trust also consider other ideas for the Domain.

·    2022 land development: clearing of outer drains and foundation work, grading and contouring of fields and areas for exercise track and parking area, and grassing of playing fields.

·    2023 building refurbishment: power supply reconnected, new lighting, water supply reconnected, storm water drainage cleaned and fully functional toilets.

·    Community events to date:

Kiwi Tag: October to November 2022 and June 2023.

Christmas in the Paddock: December 2022

Touch Under 16s mixed: Feb 2023

Developments to date have cost over $80,000.00, with full development expecting to cost approximately $800,000.00.  All proposed plans will depend on funding availability and be developed around specific project areas.

ANT Trust believe that a 30-year lease will provide funders the security they require to fund major programme works.

ANT Trust have not made any funding applications to FNDC since the commencement of the lease.

In June 2022, an information report was presented to the Te Hiku Community Board to give the Board an understanding of the current situation. It included the following recommendation:

This recommendation was changed by the Community Board to the following:

A screenshot of a document

Description automatically generated

The above recommendation did not progress to Council as it was simply an Information Report.

2) matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / Discussion and Options

As per the lease, the renewal for one further period of 5 years is “…contingent on the Lessor being satisfied that the terms and conditions of the lease have been complied with, that there is sufficient need for the recreational activity specified in the lease, and further that it is in the public interest to renew the lease and not in the public interest that some other sport, game or recreation activity be given priority. It is not an automatic right of renewal.”

Given the little progress that has been made to meet the aspirations of the Operational Management Plan (attached to current lease, see attachment schedule below), FNDC staff do not support nor deem appropriate a new 30 (15+15) year lease at this time.

Should a further 5-year term renewal be given, FNDC staff will meet with ANT Trust regularly to assess progress and development of the Domain.

The requested 30-year lease is outside of the existing lease agreement; therefore a new lease along with public consultation would be required. Public consultation provides the opportunity for other community groups to present alternative uses for the reserve.

As per the FNDC Parks and Reserves Policy 2022, Council can grant exclusive leases to part or all 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.

Option 1 (recommended):

That the Te Hiku Community Board recommends to Council:

Approve the renewal of a further 5 year term, expiring on 31 August 2028, as allowed for in the current lease to Aupōuri Ngāti Kahu – Te Rarawa Trust over Tangonge Domain, being Recreation Reserve DP 108 Title NA530/132, located at 63 Bonnet Road, Kaitaia.

The terms being:

·    $118 plus GST per year in conjunction with the Fees & Charges Policy for 2023/24 and reviewed annually

·    Term: 5 years

Decline Aupōuri Ngāti Kahu – Te Rarawa Trust request to extend the lease.

This allows ANT Trust to make some progress with the development of the Domain as set out in the Operational Management Plan. It will also provide the Community Board and Council with the satisfaction that the terms and conditions of the lease are being complied with.

 

Option 2:

That the Te Hiku Community Board:

a)    recommends to Council that the public consultation process is commenced on the granting of a new ground 30 (15+15) year lease to Aupōuri Ngāti Kahu – Te Rarawa Trust over Tangonge Domain, being Recreation Reserve DP 108 Title NA530/132, located at 63 Bonnet Road, Kaitaia.

The terms of the proposed lease shall be:

Term: 30 Years (15+15)

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

    $118 plus GST for 2022/23 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 3:

Decline the request to renew the term and terminate the current lease to Aupōuri Ngāti Kahu – Te Rarawa Trust due to insufficient progress having been made in the past 5 years..

TAKE TŪTOHUNGA / REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION

Though 5 years does not provide funders with long term guarantee, it does give ANT Trust enough time to carry out fundraising events to fund the smaller projects that were initially proposed in the Trusts Operational Management Plan. This, coupled with regular check ins by FNDC staff to support the Trust with their developments, can determine if a new 30 year lease to ANT Trust is beneficial to the community.

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

Renewing the lease does not create any financial implications for Council. ANT Trust is responsible for all maintenance of the grounds and building.

The issuing of a new 30-year (15+15) lease would require publication costs in association with public notice and all costs would be incurred by Council.

Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report

To seek the Te Hiku Community Board recommendation to initiation public consultation on the granting of a new ground lease over recreation reserve, under Section 54 Reserves Act 1977 for a portion of Part Allot 5 PSH OF Taipa, 10 East Street, Taipa to Scouts Aotearoa.

WhakarĀpopoto matua / Executive Summary

·        Doubtless Bay Sea Scouts Group (DBSSG), operating under the Scouts Aotearoa umbrella, have been established at 10 East Street, Taipa since May 1991.

·        October 2022 DBSSG formally requested a new lease.

·        There is no existing Reserve Management Plan for Taipa Sports Ground.

·        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 Te Hiku Community Board:

a)      recommends to Council that the public consultation process is commenced on the granting of a new ground lease to Scouts Aotearoa over part of the Recreation Reserve being approximately 860 square metres of Part Allot 5 PSH OF Taipa, held in New Zealand Gazette 1984 page 104.

The terms of the proposed lease shall be:

Term: 15 Years (5+5+5)

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

§ $113 plus GST for 2022/23 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

Taipa Recreation Reserve is vested in Council and has been partly occupied by DBSSG, operating under the Scouts Aotearoa umbrella, since 1991 and maintain their leased area and building to a high standard.

DBSSG occupy the site in conjunction with Taipa Plunket Clinic, Doubtless Bay Squash Racket Club and Eastern United Rugby Football Club.

In October 2022, Scouts Aotearoa approached Council formally seeking a new lease.

DGSSG is a well-established group with 87 years of service to the local community, providing young people with the ability to foster development in physical, emotional, spiritual and mental aspects through the provision of safe and nurturing environments. Their purpose is to empower young people from ages 5 to 26 to lead lives that make a positive difference, both to themselves and their community.

The longevity of the scout group at this site reinforces the valuable service DBSSG provides to the community of Taipa and surrounding localities.

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 Te Hiku 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 Scouts Aotearoa over part of the Recreation Reserve being approximately 860 square metres of Part Allot 5 PSH OF Taipa, held in New Zealand Gazette 1984 page 104.

         The terms of the proposed lease shall be:

Term: 15 Years (5+5+5)

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

§ $113 plus GST for 2022/23 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 DBSSG to continue providing their service to the community.

Option 2:

a.       Decline DBSSG’s request for a new lease

b.       ask DBSSG 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

DBSSG provide a beneficial service to the community and requiring them to vacate the land will be detrimental to the whānau and tamariki of the area. 

As per the FNDC Parks and Reserves Policy 2022, Council can 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.

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 DBSSG proposal. 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

The lease will provide for the lessee to continue to be responsible for all ongoing maintenance of the associated green space.

The lease will provide for the lessee to be responsible for the payment of all utility charges, rates and insurances.​

Should a lease not be provided to DBSSG and the land reinstated to reserve, Council will become responsible for any ongoing maintenance of the site, placing more pressure on the reserves maintenance budget.

Jesse’s on the Waterfront Café & Bar, Beach Box Coffee and Gelato and Mussel Rock Café & Bar have renewed their alfresco dining approvals and paid the necessary application fees.

 

The Te Hiku Community Board has delegation over activities on reserves and can comment on alfresco dining applications.

 

tŪtohunga / Recommendation

That the Te Hiku Community Board:

a)      Pursuant to the Council resolution passed on 30 June 2022, provide comment on the renewal of alfresco dining approval applications from Jesse’s on the Waterfront Café & Bar, Beach Box Coffee and Gelato and Mussel Rock Café & Bar to assist with the final decision on the renewal applications.

 

1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background

On the 30 June 2022, Council passed a resolution that delegates authority to Community Boards to comment on alfresco dining applications.

Prior to 30 June 2022, alfresco dining applications were assessed against the “Alfresco Dining Policy 2014”, and only applications that were declined were considered by the relevant Community Board. This Policy was revoked by Council on 30 June 2022.

On 19 May 2022, Council adopted the “Road Use Bylaw 2022”. The purpose of this bylaw is to regulate or control the use of roads and adjoining land by –

(a) vehicles; and

(b) stands, stalls or mobile shops; and

(c) animals; and

(d) structures, vegetation or other things that may affect road safety or the environment.

Part 4, clause 13 of the “Road Use Bylaw 2022” requires a person to obtain written approval from Council to allow them to occupy any part of a road with structures for providing food or beverage services.

Part 7 of the “Road Use Bylaw 2022” outlines the application, assessment and approval process. In particular, clause 20 outlines the conditions that can be imposed on all approvals granted under Part 7 of the Bylaw.

Alfresco dining approvals expire 30 June each year. Approval holders are required to renew their approval before it expires each year. If an approval holder renews their approval before the approval expires, their approval will continue to have effect until such time a decision is made on the renewal application.

At present there are 20 alfresco dining approval holders. Of these, 4 are held within the Te Hiku area.

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 Jesse’s on the Waterfront Café & Bar, Mussel Rock Café & Bar and Beach Box Coffee and Gelato 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 Te Hiku 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.
