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.

tŪtohunga / Recommendation

1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background

Lindvart Park Recreation Reserve is vested in Council and has been managed by Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated as per the Management Agreement between the group and Far North District Council since being formalised on 1 January 2018.

Through the Management Agreement, Kaikohe and Districts Sportsville is responsible for preserving the park for public use by ensuring the ongoing maintenance and up-keep, club management and public access to Lindvart Park along with development of a strategic plan for improvement, development and enhancement of Lindvart Park.

Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated exist to promote sport in Kaikohe and extend this area beyond to all outlying settlements for which Kaikohe is the main town centre, for example Hokianga.

The Long Term Plan 2021-2031 included a capital contribution of $3,226,493 to the new Lindvart Park Kaikohe – Sportsville project. On 7th April 2022, Council resolved to re-affirm this contribution:

Description automatically generated

In August 2022, Far North District Council approved building consent to Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated and the new sporting facility, known as Papa Hawaiiki, was built and open to the public in April 2024. No formal discussions had been made in regard to a ground lease prior to this time.

The complex is owned by Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated, who received funding from Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Far North District Council, Northland Rugby Club, Foundation North, Department of Internal Affairs Lotteries and Grassroots to complete this build.

Papa Hawaiiki consists of two indoor basketball courts, a meeting room and viewing platform on a mezzanine floor. The building has sprung wooden floors and is capable of hosting National basketball tournaments.

The complex aims to highlight a return of basketball to Kaikohe with a focus on developing basketball and other indoor sports, such as volleyball. The development of the complex has enabled the community (including the wider area of Hokianga) the ability to participate in sports that had previously been inaccessible due to lack of facilities or travel constraints.

Since the sports facility opened in April 2024, schools such as Kura Kaupapa o Kaikohe and Kaikohe Christian School, neither of which have school gymnasiums utilise the building during the day for enhancement of their wider curriculum. It has also been utilised in the evenings for teams participating in Badminton, Table Tennis, Basketball, Netball and Turbo Touch.

Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated have received numerous enquiries for various events such as Matariki celebrations, Masters sports tournaments, youth days, kapa haka, fight nights and regional sport gatherings. Papa Hawaiiki has the ability to accommodate these events where in the past there has been no facility available for these groups.

The facility is open 24/7, users are provided their own access swipe cards, catering for all abilities with wheelchair access to both floors.

2) matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / Discussion and Options

The sporting facilities available at Lindvart Park prior to the construction of Papa Hawaiiki were outdated and undersized. The construction of this new facility has given Lindvart Park a new lease of life and there has been an increase in members of the public utilising the facility since its inception.

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):

That the Kaikohe – Hokianga Community Board recommends to Council:

c)      that the public consultation process is commenced on the granting of a new ground lease to Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated, over approximately 485.7m2 of land being Lot 31 DP 10045 7,067.5m2 of land being part Lot 3 DP 22327, vested in Far North District Council as recreation reserve, located at 1 Recreation Road, Kaikohe.

The terms of the proposed lease shall be:

Term: 30 years (10+10+10) – allowed for under the Reserves Act 1977

Rental: $121 plus GST for 2024/25 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 Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated to continue providing their service to the community.

 

Option 2:

a.       Decline Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated request for a new ground lease

b.       Ask Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated to remove any existing building(s) and associated assets from the reserve and reinstate the recreation reserve at their cost.

TAKE TŪTOHUNGA / REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION

Building Consent was given by Far North District Council to Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated for the establishment of this building on 24 August 2022. Construction was completed in 2024, with the facility opening in April 2024.

Through this new sporting facilities, Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated provide a beneficial service to the community, bringing life to the sporting world in Kaikohe and surrounding areas. Resolving to vacate the land (including removal of the building) will be detrimental to the Community, Whānau and Tamariki of the area. 

As per the Reserves Act 1977, Council can grant exclusive leases to part or all of a reserve for a maximum term of 30 years.

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

Public consultation will enable the Kaikohe – Hokianga Community Board and Council to assess the community’s engagement with the Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated proposal, albeit retrospectively. 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 Long Term Plan 2021-2031 included a capital contribution of $3,226,493 towards the build of this facility, which was reaffirmed by Council in April 2022. A public access agreement will be noted within the proposed lease in order to establish Far North District Councils capital contribution as an intangible asset. This would be of the above amount and will be depreciated over time to provide for strategic assert renewals (structural areas and services). Any renewals required to the internal fit out would be directly funded by Kaikohe & Districts Sportsville Incorporated, or through additional grants or fund raising.

Far North District Council provided the group an annual operation grant of $40,000 for the facility. This amount was increased by $35,000 for a total of $75,000 per annum at the April 2022 Council meeting to support ongoing operational costs. The capital contribution and total operational grant (inclusive of increase) were provided for and represented an increase in ward rate of $4.70 per SUIP.

The lease will provide for the lessee to continue to be responsible for all ongoing maintenance of the associated land, including responsibility for the payment of all utility charges, rates and insurances.

Far North District Council recognises the significant role of tangata whenua as set out in the Working with Māori chapter in the Long-Term Plan 2021-2031. It is important to notify tangata whenua in the Kaikohe locality of the lease proposal prior to the public consultation. Te Hono was approached to provide advice on who the main contacts were in the first instance.

He served as Deputy Mayor, Councillor, and was a member of the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board.. Laurie’s passion for Kaikohe and the wider Far North District, as well as his involvement with the Kaikohe Lions Club, has left an enduring impact on the community.

In recognition of his contributions, Laurie’s family, in conjunction with the Kaikohe Lions Club, has proposed the installation of a memorial plaque at the Memorial Park Learn to Ride Track, which is fitting given his dedication to cycling and passion for youth The plaque would serve as a lasting tribute to his memory and encourage future generations of cyclists.

Council have an application form as an operational mechanism to gather information about the proposed asset. The contents of the form confirm details of design, placement, timeframes for installation. The contents of the form also provide information to enable staff to ascertain the ongoing costs of maintenance and projected cost of life.

2) matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / Discussion and Options

Under the Community Board delegations and the Art and Memorials in Public Places Policy, approval is sought from the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board to install a memorial plaque at the Memorial Park Learn to Ride Track in Kaikohe.

Under this policy, the following criteria have been met:

·      Contributes to the profile and identity of the community

·      Made of durable and easy-to-maintain quality materials

·      Accessible to all of the community

·      Aesthetically enhances the public space

·      Will become the property of Council

TAKE TŪTOHUNGA / REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION

Supporting the installation of a memorial plaque at Memorial Park Learn to Ride Track offers a meaningful way to commemorate Laurie Byers’ contributions to Kaikohe and the wider Far North District. Laurie’s family and the Kaikohe Lions Club are both in favour of the memorial, and the project aligns with Council’s policies on public memorials. This plaque would be a visible reminder of his legacy and provide inspiration to future generations of cyclists.

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

The initial costs for this will be covered by a grant from the Mayoral Discretionary Fund. Ongoing costs for maintenance are unknown but are generally minimal.

Given a completed form has not been received those aspects are missing from this report and approval is sought in principle.

7.4         Summer 2024 Rural Travel Funding Applications

File Number:           A4922578

Author:                    Kathryn Trewin, Funding Advisor

Authoriser:             Scott May, Manager - Stakeholder Relationships

 

Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report

To allocate Rural Travel Funding for the 2024/25 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)    Rawene School                                                                                                        $500

b)   Hokianga Sports Club                                                                                          $1,250

c)    Taheke United JMB                                                                                                 $255

d)   Under 16 Mixed Tag                                                                                                $465

 

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?

Subsidise travel for junior teams participating in local sport competition.

How much is available?

$29,400 across the Far North District

Funding is not available for

Activities taking place during school hours, coaches, referees, club/school sport administration, travel to training.

Who can apply?

Schools and clubs.

What age group is funding for?

Funding is available for youth/children aged 5 - 19 years of age.

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 2024/25 financial year for the whole of the Far North District is $29,400. The percentage of youth throughout the district is translated into percentages to calculate the amount of funding each Board can allocate.

A total of $8,232 is available to this Board for funding across the two seasonal rounds (summer and winter).  The summer round is 30% of this funding, as it is generally less busy than the winter round.  This means that $2,469.60 was available for allocation for summer season 2024/25, with a balance of $5,762.40 for the winter 2025 season.

Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report

The Kaikohe-Hokianga Board requested a report providing detail of funding applications received for the past five years.  

TŪTOHUNGA / RECOMMENDATION

That the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board receive the report Funding Applications received between July 2020 and June 2024

 

1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background

The Chair of the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board requested a breakdown of funding applications received by the Board over the past five years to enable a better understanding of where, what and how funding has been distributed.

The information specifically requested was:

·    Who has applied for funding

·    How much funding was requested by applicants and granted by the Board

·    What areas benefitted from the funding granted

·    Was funding received from other Community Boards.

2) matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / Discussion and Options

The Funding Advisor role was created in late 2019.  Prior to this role existing, each Board had a dedicated staff member (similar to the Meeting Administrator currently in the role), who would also process funding applications and create a separate report for each application.  These were all recorded in separate spreadsheets that were maintained individually by the administrators, with various reliability.  At the start of the 2020 financial year a new record system was instigated to allow standardisation of information recorded in a single source.  The information in this report is taken from these records.

It is noted that over the past four years, the Arts, Culture, Heritage and Events category has steadily grown, and in the 2023/24 financial year this category had the largest number of applications.

It is also noted that the number of applications received in the 2023/24 financial year was almost double the number of the previous three years, indicating not only that communities have come back from covid in terms of activities, but also reflecting the increase in costs and the decrease in funding that is available from other funders.  In the 2024/25 financial year alone, Lotteries Grants had 46% less funding available nationwide, with similar funding cuts in other major funders, as well as the removal of the Far North District Council Events Investment Fund in the Long Term Plan.

Attached to this report is a breakdown of funding based on the request received, a breakdown of applications by category, and a full list of all applications received in this time period.

 

TAKE TŪTOHUNGA / REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION

To receive the information report as requested by the Kaikohe-Hokianga Community Board.
