We ask that through the boards discussions and decisions the representatives elected may advocate on behalf of the Bay of Islands-Whangaroa community with aroha, imagination, skill and wisdom to achieve a fairer and more united community that enhances the wellbeing of the community and solves the community's problems efficiently and effectively.

2            Nga Whakapāha Me Ngā Pānga Mema / Apologies and Conflicts of Interest

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 Team Leader Democracy Support (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.

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. The strategy is yet to be developed.

Kiwisport was launched in 2009 by Prime Minister John Key and funding is given to Sport Northland to achieve three objectives. One of the barriers that has been identified in Northland is the cost of travel.  Sport Northland agreed to give part of its funding to the Far North District Council to add to its Rural Travel Fund to overcome the travel barrier and help achieve their three objectives.

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 November 2022 when the next round of funding is allocated.

Council advertises that funding is available approximately one month before applications close in local newspapers and on Council’s Facebook page. 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.

Sport Northland recently restructure their strategic plans and direction and the funding now comes from Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa programme which provides funding for programmes or projects delivering:

·        Tākaro/play

·        Ngā mahi a te rēhia/active recreation; and

·        Hākinakina/sport opportunities.

 

Priority for the Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa will go to those that can show their funding will be used for:

·        Children and young people in higher deprivation communities

·        Girls and young women (5-18); and

·        Disabled children and young people.

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. Further detailed information provided by Sport Northland regarding their recommendations has been distributed to Board Members separately.

Take Tūtohunga / Reason for the recommendation

To fulfil the requirements of the Sport NZ Rural Travel Fund agreement with Sport New Zealand and the Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa agreement with Sport Northland 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 receives two grants annually that make up this funding budget - $25,080.30 from Sport New Zealand and $25,000 (plus GST) from Sport Northland.  

The total budget for rural travel funding for the 2021/2022 financial year is $50,080.30. 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 the remaining budget be allocated for winter activities.

The Bay of Islands-Whangaroa has a total budget of $20,074.50 to allocate for the 2021/2022 Rural Travel summer and winter rounds. The Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board allocated a total of $8,138.00 for the summer round, however $3,500 that was allocated to Motatau Bilingual Primary School was not uplifted, which leaves a budget of $15,436.50 to allocate.

This is stage one of their proposal, involving the setting up of a drop-in centre and availability of rainbow supporting branding for local businesses.  They are also asking for support to bring up speakers for community forums.  While Bald Angels has financed and supported this so far, this is not their core intent and is placing a strain on their resourcing for funding.

The applicant applied for (and was granted) $6,000 by the Community Board in December 2021.  Funding from the Northland Inc Event Fund was not granted as other, more at-risk, events were supported instead.  The applicant is asking for additional funds to continue with a more streamlined event.  If the Board were to grant $4,000, it would make the contribution $10,000 and would be 15% of the total festival cost.

This is a community with few resources that has the opportunity to acquire the Kerikeri Domain playground equipment when it is replaced as part of the PGF funded Kerikeri Domain project. A playground is a priority project identified by the community in their Totara North 2021 Community Plan and would provide a social asset for their community. Time constraints have meant few funding opportunities are available, but will be looked at for further development within this community

8            Information Reports

8.1         Opito Bay Reserves Management Plan Proposal

File Number:           A3657082

Author:                    Ross Baker, Parks and Reserves Planner

Authoriser:             Darren Edwards, General Manager - Strategic Planning and Policy

 

Take Pūrongo / Purpose of the Report

To inform the Community Board that a reserve management plan for a grouping of reserves located within the Opito Bay area is to be developed.

WhakarĀpopoto matua / Executive Summary

 

·    The various reserves in the Opito Bay area are under pressure from different user groups.

·    The reserve management plan process is considered an effective vehicle to engage and involve user groups, residents, local hapu and other interested entities as to how the reserves should be managed or developed now and into the future.

·    This report is to inform the Community Board that a reserve management plan (RMP) for a grouping of Council reserves in the Opito Bay area is to be developed.

 

tŪtohunga / Recommendation

That the Bay of Islands – Whangaroa Community Board receives as information only the report on the Opito Bay Reserves Management Plan Proposal.

 

1) TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background

The Council owns several reserves that form part of the overall open space network of public lands in the Opito Bay locality. They are a mix of esplanade, recreation, and walkway reserves. Other open space lands in the locality include the tidal lands seaward of mean high-water springs and the Department of Conservation estate. The map at Attachment 2 shows the Council reserves.

There are numerous competing demands for the use, occupation, and possible development of the Council reserves in Opito Bay. These include, but are not limited to:

·    Car and boat trailer parking

·    Beach recreational users

·    Use of the reserves and boat ramp by commercial operators

·    Mooring dinghy rack use

·    Visual amenity concerns

·    Toilet facilities

·    Picnic tables and recreational infrastructure

Several issues are consistently being raised with Council as a result multiple pressures on the confined and restricted available reserve land.

The implementation of a reserve management plan for a grouping of Council reserves in the Opito Bay area is proposed and this through consultation and engagement will create a “blue-print” for the management and development of those reserves now and into the future.

2) matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / Discussion and Options

Reserve Management Plan Purpose

The Council is required to manage its reserves in accordance with the provisions of the Reserves Act 1977 (the Act).

The Act provides that the Council shall within 5 years of its appointment as the administering body or within 5 years after the commencement of the Reserves Act 1977, whichever is the later, prepare and submit to the Minister of Conservation for his or her approval a management plan for the reserve under its control, management, or administration (section 41 Reserves Act 1977).

RMPs shall provide for and ensure the use, enjoyment, maintenance, protection and preservation, and the development as the case maybe for, recreation, historic, scenic, nature, scientific, Government purpose and local purpose reserves.

Reserve Management Plan Process

Section 41 of the Reserves Act 1977 sets out the RMP process and is summarised as follows:

s.41(5) give public notice of Council’s intention to prepare a RMP; and

·    in that notice, invite persons and organisations interested to send to the Council written suggestions on the proposed plan within a time specified in the notice; and

·    in preparing that management plan, give full consideration to any such comments received.

Nothing in subsection (5) shall apply in any case where the Council has, by resolution, determined that written suggestions on the proposed plan would not materially assist in its preparation.

s.41(6) The RMP shall be prepared by the Council in draft form in the first place, and the Council shall—

·    give public notice stating that the draft plan is available for inspection at a place and at times specified in the notice, and calling upon persons or organisations interested to lodge with the Council written objections to or suggestions on the draft plan before a specified date, being not less than 2 months after the date of publication of the notice; and

·    send a copy of the draft plan to the Commissioner; and

·    give notice in writing, as far as practicable, to all persons and organisations who or which made suggestions to the Council under subsection (5) stating that the draft plan has been prepared and is available for inspection at the place and during the times specified in the notice, and requiring any such person or organisation who or which desires to object to or comment on the draft plan to lodge with the Council a written objection or written comments before a specified date, being not less than 2 months after the date of giving of the notice; and

·    make the draft management plan available for inspection at the Council office; and

·    before Council approves the RMP give every person or organisation who or which, in lodging any objection or making any comments asked to be heard in support of his or her or its objection or comments, a reasonable opportunity of appearing before the Council or a committee thereof or a person nominated by the Council in support of his or her or its objection or comments; and

·    where the management plan requires the approval of the Minister, attach to the plan submitted to him or her for approval a summary of the objections and comments received and a statement as to the extent to which they have been allowed or accepted or disallowed or not accepted.

The above is the minimum legal requirement.

Significance and Engagement

Further to the above minimum legal requirement, and before formerly commencing the RMP’s process staff have engaged with other interested entities, including the Department of Conservation, Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga, Far North Holdings Limited and local hapu (currently underway).

Once the legislated RMP process commences it is intended that there be purposeful and targeted engagement (following IAP2 principles of public participation). The specific notification will occur with the residents of Opito Bay, commercial marine farmers, mooring holders and some further groups that have yet to be determined. Elected member participation throughout the process will also be encouraged.

The notification and engagement processes will inform staff as to the issues, needs and wants associated with the reserves and help shape the draft RMP for the Opito Bay reserves.

 

The Opito Bay Recreation Reserve, Opito Bay Reserve Management Plan

The Opito Bay Recreation Reserve, Opito Bay Reserve Management Plan (the Plan) was adopted by the Bay of Islands County Council in April 1987. The Plan is only for the recreation reserve situated on the corner of Ake Ake Street (Lot 29 DP 47619). The Plan is at Attachment 1.

The issues highlighted in the Plan appear relevant today, in fact more so with the added pressures created through increased usage resulting from subsequent population growth in the greater Kerikeri area, increased visitor numbers and commercial marine farm use.

The Plan has not been updated since 1987.

The proposed new RMP will include this reserve, together with the other reserves highlighted on the map at Attachment 2. This will enable an integrated holistic approach to the management of the Council’s interconnected Opito Bay reserves.

Draft Parks and Reserves Policy

The draft Parks and Reserves Policy (draft policy) is to be presented back to the Strategy and Policy Committee at a future meeting for endorsement through to Council for adoption.

The draft policy contains detail that needs to be considered and or incorporated within future new or reviewed RMP’s. It is therefore proposed that the Opito Bay Reserves RMP legislated process will not commence until that draft policy has been adopted. However, as mentioned staff are currently undertaking early engagement with the other lead agencies as pre curser lead up to the commencement of the legislated RMP process.

Policy and Strategy Considerations

Council staff are aware of the demands and conflicts resulting from different user pressures being applied to the Opito Bay reserves.

The RMP’s will informs the Council’s open space strategy and spatial planning. The RMP is a tool aimed at creating great places that enhances communities and user wellbeing.

Risk and Mitigation

The Opito Bay Reserves RMP will be shaped by the feedback and submissions received with a resulting document that will be the “blue-print” for the management and development of the reserves for the benefit of the local community and various user groups.

Staff are realistic that the resulting RMP may not please all, due simply to the fact that the available land area is limited and that there will be many differing wants. 

The alternative is not to advance the development of the RMP, but rather undertake development of the various reserves in an ad-hoc manner to address individual issues as they arise. This approach may not align to the community wishes or could create negative flow on impacts elsewhere.

Implications for Maori

The new RMP will align with the principles of Parts 2 and 6 of the Local Government Act 2002, Reserves Act 1977 and Conservation Act 1987 by facilitating participation of and engagement with Māori in its development.

There are a number of hapu that have interests in Opito Bay. Early engagement with hapu is being managed through the Council’s Te Hono Team.

Take Tūtohunga / Reason for the recommendation

A RMP is necessary to provide elected members, staff, iwi, local community, and user groups with a ‘blueprint’ for how the Council reserves in Opito Bay will be managed and developed to address current and anticipated future use demands.

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

The costs of implementing the RMP will be met from existing operating budgets.

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

In line with the Significance and Engagement Policy the proposal to develop the reserve management plan will have little effect on financial thresholds, ratepayers, specific demographics or levels of service.

We acknowledge that there is likely to be a high level of public interest in the development of this reserve management plan. Early engagement with interested partner organisations and public consultation will occur during the development of the reserve management plan.

The level of significance is low to medium and the Council is obliged to publicly consult.

State the relevant Council policies (external or internal), legislation, and/or community outcomes (as stated in the LTP) that relate to this decision.

The Local Government Act 2002, Reserves Act 1977, Resource Management Act 1991, Conservation Act 1987, The Opito Bay Road Reserve Management Plan, and Iwi Hapu Management Plans apply to the preparation of an Opito Bay Reserves Management Plan.

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 proposed Opito Bay Reserves Management Plan does not have district wide relevance. The views of the Community Board will be sought as the RMP implementation process progresses.

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.

Early engagement with local iwi will occur through the Council’s Te Hono team. It is envisaged that Iwi will have a strong interest in the shaping of the RMP due to historic ties to the whenua. The area contains urupa, pa sites and areas of cultural significance to Iwi.

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).

The following parties are likely to have an interest in the development of the Opito Bay Reserves Management Plan:

·    Councillors and Community Board elected members.

·    Council internal groups including, Strategy and Policy, Infrastructure and Asset Management, and Corporate Services.

·    Far North Holdings Limited.

·    Opito Bay residents.

·    Local iwi.

·    Opito Bay user groups.

·    Commercial marine farmers.

·    Department of Conservation.

·    Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga.

 

State the financial implications and where budgetary provisions have been made to support this decision.

The cost of the reserve management plan development is covered by current operational budgets.

·        There are 95 digital signatures and 32 hard copy signatures, totalling 127 signatories.

·        All signatories are in favour of closing the rubbish dump site.

·        The associated request for service (RFS) for the request is RFS 4100266.

Recommendation

That Bay of Islands-Whangaroa Community Board:

a)    formally receive the petition from Anouk Van Donzel on behalf of all signatories on the petition; and

b)    requests the Chief Executive, or his appointed staff to investigate options to close the rubbish collection point identified in the petition as the corner of Waiare Road, and State Highway 10, Kaeo.

 

1) Background

This petition was received from Anouk Van Donzel on behalf of the 127 signatories on 11 April 2022 via the Far North District Council (FNDC) but was originally requested via a request for service (RFS) with Council on 07 March 2022. Staff responded to the RFS guiding residents to support their request via petition.

Council’s petitioning guidelines state that a petition:

·    may be presented to the Council, a Committee or a Community Board.

·    must contain at least 20 signatures and the request must consist of fewer than 150 words (not including signatures).

·    must be received by the Chief Executive (or his representative) at least five working days before the date of the meeting at which it will be presented.

·    must not use offensive language or include malicious statements

·    may be written in English or te reo Māori.

·    may be delivered by electronic means.

Council’s process around petitions currently mean that any petition received will be presented to a formal meeting for endorsement and to raise awareness of potentially larger issues with our elected representatives.

Elected members need to be mindful when making decisions that they have sufficient information to satisfy the following decision-making provisions of the Local Government Act s77-82.

1.   All reasonably practicable options with advantages/disadvantages

2.   The views of the community

3.   Compliance with legislation including Resource Management Act

4.   That the resolution will be consistent with existing policies or plan (if not provided there is an explanation)

5.   That the options take into consideration opportunities for māori engagement and views.

6.   The potential impacts and views of affected persons.

2) DISCUSSION AND OPTIONS

Staff do not undertake any vetting processes. To enable Community Boards to advocate for their communities, petitions with an impact or focus on a particular community will be presented to Community Board’s to formally consider.

In receiving a petition, keeping in mind the decision-making requirements under the Local Government Act, the Board are asked to either:

1.   Endorse the petition and request staff to investigate.

2.   Or simply receive the petition noting the concerns.

Endorsing the petition formally agrees that the issue is a true representation of the concerns, and requests staff to investigate options. In some instances, the options may be straightforward and within staff delegation to action.

In other instances, the matter might require a further report to be prepared to seek resolution.

Receiving a petition doesn’t necessarily mean that the Board doesn’t agree with the petitioner’s request. It might be that it is not a priority at present or that the Board would like to consider it via another process such as their strategic plan, or advocate for community through an external party.

If the Board simply note the petition it is recommended that the Board be clear on the reasoning why, so the minutes provide clear direction back to the petitioners.

Regardless of the Board outcome, if a petition is endorsed by the Community Board progress will be reported back to the Board via their action sheet.

Reason for the recommendation

To allow the community board to formally receive the petition and provide a mechanism for the Board to advocate on behalf of its constituents where appropriate.

3) Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

There are no financial implications or need for budgetary provision in requesting a report. The report when provided will need to articulate and financial implications in the options including speedbumps.
