7.2         Road Naming - 373 Kerikeri Road, Kerikeri

File Number:           A4417819

Author:                    Eden Ramsay, NTA - Finance and Customer Services Administrator

Authoriser:              Andy Finch, District Engineer

 

Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report

To seek approval from the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board to officially name two public roads.

WhakarĀpopoto matua / Executive Summary

A Road Naming application to name two public roads addressed at 373 Kerikeri Road, Kerikeri was received. Community Boards have delegated authority to allocate names for previously unnamed local roads, reserves and other community facilities.

 

tŪtohunga / Recommendation

That the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board, pursuant to Council’s Naming Policy, name the two public roads addressed at 373 Kerikeri Road, Kerikeri as follows:

a)     Road 1: Te Uru Lane

b)     Road 2: Hua Whenua Lane

 

1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background

Kari Peden of Traverse Ltd submitted an application to name two public roads located at 373 Kerikeri Road on the 6th of September 2023. These two roads were formed as a result of the subdivision creating 47 residential lots.

The land that this subdivision is now on was once an orchard owned by Mable and Herbert Percy who were early settlers. They grew passionfruit and citrus and served the community for years.

The applicant consulted with Ngāti Rēhia when choosing the names for the roads. Ngāti Rēhia suggested Hua whenua Road, Huarākau Road, Te Waenga Road, Te Oro Road and Te Uru Road.

The applicant chose a name from the suggestions provided by Ngāti Rēhia for each road. Te Uru means orchard or grove which speaks to the previous use of the land. Hua Whenua, linking to Te Uru, speaks to the food products from the land, meaning food products from plants.

The applicant also provided a second choice for each road. Crainleigh Avenue honours the name of the old orchard which served the community with citrus and passionfruit. Mable Lane honours the wife of Percy Herbert who were the early settlers who settled on the land and grew the fruit. These two names have not been approved by hapu.

The suggested names were sent off to Land Information New Zealand for approval. A response was received confirming all proposed road names are acceptable for use in this area and can be approved as per the Addressing Standards 2011.

Second Choice: Crainleigh Avenue

The proposed names for Road 2 are as follows:

Preferred Choice: Hua Whenua Lane

Second Choice: Mable Lane

The Roading Team and Land Information New Zealand have no objections to the names suggested above.

TAKE TŪTOHUNGA / REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION

The road names recommended in this report 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.

3) 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 (white on blue background name blade). The cost of the road signage and installation will be met by the applicant.

7.3         Summer 2023 Rural Travel Funding Applications

File Number:           A4413270

Author:                    Kathryn Trewin, Funding Advisor

Authoriser:              Scott May, Manager - Stakeholder Relationships

 

Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report

To allocate Rural Travel Funding for the 2023 summer sporting season.

tŪtohunga / Recommendation

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, Kawakawa                                                          $1,900

b)   Russell Sports Club                                                                                   $1,000

c)   Whangaroa College, Kaeo                                                                         $1,900

 

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 by central government. The strategy is yet to be developed.

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 approximately November 2024 when the next round of funding is allocated.

Council advertises that funding is available approximately one month before applications close online (including on Council’s Facebook page), with the closing dates notified on the Rural Travel Funding page at the start of each calendar year (when the Community Board meetings dates are set). 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. The funding recommendation summary is attached, with applications being provided under separate cover to the Board.

 

 

 

 

Sport New Zealand (Rural Travel)

Take Tūtohunga / Reason for the recommendation

To fulfil the requirements of the Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund agreement with Sport New Zealand 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 now receives one grant annually from Sport New Zealand.   Sport Northland no longer offer Tu Manawa funding through Councils and undertake granting of this funding themselves.

The total budget for rural travel funding for the 2023/24 financial year is $39,268. The percentage of youth throughout the district is translated into percentages to calculate the percentage of funding each Board can allocate.
