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:           A4428249

Author:                    Michelle Rockell, Team Leader - Property Management

Authoriser:              Kevin Johnson, Group Manager - Delivery and Operations

 

Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report

To obtain a recommendation from the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board 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.

·        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.

·        The Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board recommended to Council that public consultation be undertaken. Report A4330060. Resolution 2023/99.

·        Consultation ran from 10 October to 7 November. A total of 9 submissions were received. All of the submissions were in support of the proposal and one wished to be heard to voice their support. 

 

tŪtohunga / Recommendation

That the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board recommends that Council:

a)      approves a new ground lease to be issued 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)      approves further conditions to be negotiated and agreed upon by the Group Manager Delivery and Operations.

 

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

Reserves Act 1977

Section 73 of the Reserves Act 1977 (“the Act”) authorises Council to grant leases over a vested recreation reserve by way of Minister of Conservation delegation 12 June 2013.

The Reserves Act section 73(3) provides for a lease over part of recreation reserve where any part of such a reserve is not likely to be used for that purpose and it is considered inexpedient to revoke the reservation at this time. The lease is subject to the conditions of Reserves Act Schedule 1.

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 deliberate upon the submissions received (see attached list of submissions), and then make a recommendation to Council in respect of the proposal.

Public Notification

Public Notice was advertised in the Northern Advocate and ran from 10 October - 7 November  2023 as required under the Reserve Act.

A total of 9 submissions were received. All of the submissions were in support of the proposal and one wished to be heard to voice their support. 

 

​The options available for this site are:

Option 1: Recommended

a) approves a new ground lease to be issued 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) approves further conditions to be negotiated and agreed upon by the Group Manager Delivery and Operations.

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.

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 declined, 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.
