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 Manager - Democracy Services (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.

File Number:           A4413296

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 Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board allocates Rural Travel Grant funding in accordance with the recommendations received from Sport Northland as follows:

a)   Hokianga Sports Club                                                                                      $1,700

b)   Horeke School                                                                                                     $250

c)   Kaikohe Young Stars                                                                                       $1,000

d)   Te Kura o Omanaia                                                                                             $750

e)   Rawene School                                                                                                    $800

 

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)


What are the Objectives?

Eligible Sports

Sports that have regular grass roots competitions such as netball, hockey, rugby, rugby league, softball, football, touch rugby, basketball.

Applicants are advised, when granted funds, that the funds are to be uplifted within three months and that a project report form is required if they wish to be eligible to apply for future funding.

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. It is recommended that only 30% 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 summer season is $6,329.60.  Additional funds (including funding returned or unused by applicants from previous funding rounds, and funds allocated from Boards themselves) have been included to this amount to allow the grant recommendations in this report to be made.
