5               Reports

21.9.2         Alexandra District Museum Inc Annual Grant Report 2020-21

Doc ID:      557191

 

1.       Purpose

 

To provide an accountability report on the objectives and actions of the Alexandra District Museum Inc over the 2020/21 financial year.

 

Recommendations

That the report be received.

 

 

2.       Discussion

 

Alexandra District Museum Inc. (ADMI), operating as Central Stories Museum and Art Gallery, received $73,451.52 plus GST from the Vincent Community Board for the 2020/21 financial year. This grant contributed to operational costs of the museum and art gallery, in addition to a grant from Council of $48,967.80 plus GST. ADMI’s financial report demonstrates that they have also generated income from other sources to enable them to carry out their activities.

 

As a condition of funding, ADMI is required to provide an annual report to the community board on objectives and outcomes for the year (Appendix 1). The information supplied by ADMI and attached to this report demonstrates a focus on activities that cater for Alexandra and the wider community. ADMI has showed initiative over the past year to create new sources of income to help run the museum. However, this has been challenging due to the restrictions of the business use within the lease, which is specified as “Museum and art gallery display plus associated retail, events and activities”.

21.9.3         Clyde Museum Redevelopment - Clyde Police Lock-up

Doc ID:      551590

 

1.       Purpose of Report

 

To consider approving a budget for the relocation of the Clyde Police Lock-up before the adjacent vacant section is developed.

 

Recommendations

That the Vincent Community Board

A.      Receives the report and accepts the level of significance.

B.      Approves the proposal to move the Clyde Police Lock-up from the rear of the Blyth Street Museum (Lot 1 Deposited Plan 27008) to a location near the Clyde Railway Station on the Railway Station Recreational Reserve (Lot 31 Deposited Plan 19044).

C.      Approves the budget of $46,000 to be funded from the Vincent General Reserves (4111).

D.      Agree to issue a lease to the Clyde Historical Museum Group Incorporated over approximately 30m2 of the Clyde Railway Station Recreation Reserve.

This lease will be issued under the Reserves Act 1977 and is subject to the Community Leasing and Licensing Policy.

 

2.       Background

 

The Clyde Police Lock-up (the Lock-up) was built in 1938 next to the Sergeant’s house on Blyth Street.

 

In 1960, the Lock-up was relocated to the rear of the Clyde Courthouse on Lot 2 Deposited Plan 27008.

 

In 2003, after the Courthouse was sold, the Lock-up was moved to its current site at the rear of the Blyth Street Museum on Lot 1 Deposited Plan 27008 (Lot 1). The Lock-up has been primarily used for museum storage ever since.

In 2014, a conservation plan for the Lock-up was written by Jackie Gillies and Associates (now Origin Consultants). The conservation plan was reviewed in 2018 as part of a feasibility study to help determine the future of the Clyde Museums. See appendix 1 for a copy of the Conservation Plan and the 2018 review.

 

The 2018 review of the conservation plan recommended the following:

 

Text

Description automatically generated

 

A copy of the conservation plan was provided to the planning team. The Lock-up will be considered as part of the upcoming review of the Register of Heritage Buildings, Sites, and Objects.

 

The recommendation of adaptive reuse of the Lock-up was factored into the feasibility study options.  It was identified at this time that the ability to relocate the Lock-up was dependent upon Lot 2 Deposited Plan 27008 (Lot 2) remaining vacant.

In 2019, the Vincent Community Board considered the recommendations of the Clyde Museum Feasibility Study Report. The Board supported the report’s recommendation in full and resolved the following.

 

19.1.8

A.   RESOLVED that the report be received and the level of significance accepted.

Wills / Garbutt

B.   ACCEPTED the recommendation contained in the Clyde Museum Feasibility Report 2019 to progress the redevelopment of the Briar and Herb Museum and the sale or lease of the Blyth Street Museum.

Actions include:

·      Demolishing the Briar Herb Factory Museum buildings A, C and D.

·      Rebuilding the Goods Shed (building B) on site or relocating it to adjacent to the Railway Station

·      If required, demolishing and rebuilding the toilet block E

·      Repairing and strengthening buildings F and G so they have a basic level of services and are upgraded to include an economical heating system, power water and drainage. The buildings have potential for display purposes, a boutique commercial outlet or ancillary space for a proposed new museum building

·      Constructing a new purpose-built museum/community facility within the Briar Herb Factory Museum site

·      Relocating the Caretaker’s Cottage to a new site (or selling it and adding the funds to the museum fund)

·      Relocating the Police Lock-up at the Blyth Street Museum to a more prominent site in the town, potentially within the Briar Herb Factory development.

·      Closing the Blyth Street Museum permanently. Retaining and redeveloping the site for another use, providing a potential income stream

·      The Council Chamber and its furniture either remaining in the Blyth Street building, or the furniture and fittings to be incorporated into the new Briar Herb Factory building

·      Reducing collection content from both museums and relocating to the new facility

·      Carrying out a district-wide study on museums, the aim of which is to coordinate collections and governance

Wills / Garbutt

C.  APPROVED $94,000 in the 2019/20 Annual Plan for funding the development of concept plans to progress the project of redevelopment of the Briar Herb Factory Museum and the closing and repurposing of the Blyth Street Museum.

Wills / Garbutt

D.  AGREED the $94,000 in resolution C be funded from Earnscleugh/Manuherikia Reserves and Development Account.

Wills / Garbutt

E.   DIRECTED the Community Development Manager to progress the recommendation in the Clyde Museum Feasibility Report 2019 to carry out a district-wide study on museums, the aim of which is to coordinate collections and governance.

Wills / Garbutt

In 2020, the Board approved the design brief to redevelop the Briar Herb Factory site. Resolution reference 20.6.4. The design brief included the relocation of the Lock-up to the Briar Herb Factory site.

 

In a submission that was included in the design brief documentation, the Clyde Historical Museum Group Incorporated (the Museum Group) requested the Lock-up be relocated to inside the new building. The Lock-up was to become the centrepiece of their gold-themed exhibition. An excerpt of the Museum Group’s submission follows:

The design brief was tendered, and three architects were shortlisted.

 

Before the project could progress further, the Board asked council staff to table a report that provided members with an update on the Clyde Museum Redevelopment Project, and the draft District Museum Strategy. This allowed the Board to reconsider previous resolutions made concerning the Clyde Museum Redevelopment Project.

 

In March 2021, the Board resolved to wait for the District Museum Strategy to be finalised and the outcome of the subsequent investment framework to be completed before actioning the Clyde Museum Redevelopment Project any further. Resolution reference 21.2.10.

 

The risk of putting the Clyde Museum Redevelopment Project on hold was that the Lock-up could potentially become trapped if Lot 2 was developed.

 

In August 2021, the owners of Lot 2 told council staff that they are planning to build on Lot 2 in early 2022. The owners have said they are open to the use of their land to help move the Lock-up. However, the owners requested this is done between May - September 2022.

 

 

3.       Discussion

 

Potential relocation options identified:

 

1.      Clyde Railway Station Recreation Reserve – near the railway station building.

2.      Blyth Street Museum – adjacent green space at the front of the building.

3.      Briar Herb Factory – temporary location in front of the Dairy building.

4.      Don’t relocate now.

 

See the map below to show the approximate location of these options.

Building relocation advice

Expert relocation advice was sort in the preparation of this report, from Mr Willis, owner operator or King House Removals. King House Removals is a family owned and operated business. Established in 1959, the company have moved over 7000 buildings.

 

Mr Willis viewed the Lock-up and proposed site options to give advice and cost estimates.

 

The Museum Group

 

The Museum Group’s preference is that the Lock-up is relocated to the green space at the front of the Blyth Street Museum. See appendix 2 for their input into this report and a relevant extract below:

Total estimated budget:

Property notes:

District Plan considerations

Supported by the Museum Group?

Is public consultation required?

Potential risks:

Clyde Railway Station Recreation Reserve
- near the railway station building

$46,000

- This land is classified Local Purpose Reserve (Recreation Reserve) vested in Council.
- The land is managed by council's parks team under the Clyde Reserve Management Plan 2018.

- This site has a designation of "Recreation and Accessway Purposes” with an underlying residential zone.
- Resource consent may be required.

No

To be confirmed

- Reduced risk that the building will need to moved again if the Briar Herb Factory Redevelopment Project goes ahead.
- This is not the preferred location of the Clyde Historical Museum Group Inc.
- There is the potential for the Lock-up to be opened up by ShebikesHebikes as they currently do this for the museum within the Clyde Railway Station.
- If public consultation is required, any delay may then bring the removal outside Lot 2 owners requirement for the building to be removed by September 2022.

Blyth Street Museum
- adjacent green space

$50,000

- This land is unclassified council free-hold land.
- This green space holds a memorial plaque to commemorate the 100 years of local government.
- There is a private water main from the council’s irrigation meter to the building which will need to be redirected.
- This green space is managed by the council's parks team.

- This site has a designation of "Recreation Purposes" with an underlying residential zone.
- The area is adjacent to the heritage precinct.
- Resource consent may be required.

Yes

No

- This option has the highest potential risk that the Lock-up will need to be moved again if the Briar Herb Factory redevelopment goes ahead and the museum group moves all their functions to this site.
- This is the preferred location option of the Clyde Historical Museum Group Inc.
- Higher cost due to relocation of the water connection, but this will be required if the building is to be repurposed in the future.

Briar Herb Factory Site
- temporary location in front of the Dairy building.

$23,000

- The land is unclassified council free-hold land.
- This location was suggested by King House Removals as a potential temporary location site.
- Light excavation required to get temp blocks level.
- Temp location decreases estimated moving costs because the building will be placed on temporary foundations  and no electricity will be connected.

- This site is zoned residential.
- Resource consent may be required.

No

No

- The Lock-up will need to be moved again once a permanent site has been determined.
- The Lock-up will not be utilised until it is in its permanent site.
- This option is not supported by the Clyde Historical Museum Group Inc.

Don't relocate now

Options above

+ $60K for crane hire

+ cost escalation over time.

- King House Removal’s have advised that if the Lock-up is moved while the section next door was vacant then a 200T crane would be required to get the span required to lift the Lock-up over the top of the museum building. The crane transport and hire would add an estimated $60K onto removal costs.

N/A

No

Unknown

- The Lock-up will only be moved once. However, the cost to do so is higher than the cost of moving the Lock-up twice.
- The Lock-up remains underutilised at the rear of the museum while the museum’s future is determined.
- This option is not supported by the Clyde Historical Museum.

Financial implications

 

The following budgets were included in the Long-term Plan 2021/31:

 

2023/24

$400,000

Clyde Museum Redevelopment. Budget to allow for the preparation of the Briar Herb Museum Site for development. Site preparation work to include demolishing of buildings identified as not being reused, shifting the Clyde Police Lock-up to the site, and temporary fencing to secure the site.

2025/26

$4M

Clyde Museum Redevelopment. Project placeholder. This is a high-level cost estimate taken from the feasibility study. This figure is to be used as an indicator of the potential project cost only. More accurate figures will be given as project design is progressed. It is proposed to be two-thirds externally funded.

 

The 2019 Clyde Museum Feasibility Study Report indicated the total cost of moving the Lock-up to the Briar Herb Factory site as $23,000 and this is the amount currently budgeted in year 3 of the LTP.

 

The balance of the Vincent General Reserves (4111) as of 30 June 2021 is $1.167M. It is proposed to fund the relocation budget from here. 

 

Council’s Procurement Policy requires written quotes to be obtained and then approved by the property manager.

 

See appendix 3 for the FIN 105 form.

 

District Museum Strategy update

 

The first stage of this project is complete with the development of a sector strategy. The sector worked in collaboration during the first half of 2021 to develop this strategy. This strategy sets out the sector’s vision and strategic objectives for the next five years. The strategy was presented to Council on 22 September 2021.

 

The second stage of this work will be to articulate how much council funds and where (the investment framework). Funding has been approved to run an investment logic mapping exercise to commence this work, and this is underway.

 

 

4.       Options

 

Option 1 (Recommended)

 

1.      Approve the proposal to move the Lock-up from the rear of Blyth Street Museum (Lot 1 Deposited Plan 27008) to a location near the Clyde Railway Station on the Railway Station Recreational Reserve (Lot 31 Deposited Plan 19044)

2.      Approve the budget of $46,000 to be funded from the Vincent General Reserves (4111).

 

 

 

Advantages:

 

·         A large crane (at an approximate additional cost of $60,000) will not be required.

·         Relocation to a more prominent site in town is supported by the conservation plan.

·         The Lock-up will be near the Clyde Railway Station and the Briar Herb Factory Museum. If the Clyde Museum Redevelopment Project is taken off hold the design brief could be updated to incorporate leaving the Lock-up in this location. Therefore, the risk of the building be moved twice is less with this option.

·         Shebikeshebikes currently unlocks the museum within the Clyde Railway Station. This company could be approached to open the Lock-up as well. This would lessen the burden on the volunteers.

 

Disadvantages:

 

·         This is not the preferred location of the Museum Group.

·         The design undertaken to date would need to be altered.

·         Reduction of the Vincent General Reserves.

 

Option 2

1.      Approve the proposal to move the Lock-up from the rear of Blyth Street Museum (Lot 1 Deposited Plan 27008) to the green space adjacent (being part of part Lot 1 Deposited Plan 27008 and Lot 1 Deposited Plan 354129)

2.      Approve the budget of $50,000 (which includes the relocation of water) to be funded from the Vincent General Reserves (4111).

 

Advantages:

 

·         This is the preferred option of the Museum Group.

·         A large crane (at an approximate additional cost of $60,000) will not be required.

·         Relocation to a more prominent site in town is supported by the conservation plan.

 

Disadvantages:

 

·         This is a higher cost option due to modifying the water connection.

·         If the Clyde Museum Redevelopment Project is taken off hold there is a higher risk that in this location the Lock-Up would need to be moved again.

·         Reduction of the Vincent General Reserves.

·         The lease to the Museum Group will need to be varied to include the additional area.

 

Option 3

 

1.      Approve the proposal to move the Lock-up from the rear of Blyth Street Museum (Lot 1 Deposited Plan 27008) to a temporary location in front of the Dairy building on the Briar Herb Factory Site (Part Section 11 Block XXI Town of Clyde).

2.      Approve the budget of $23,000 to be funded from the Vincent General Reserves (4111).

 

 

Advantages:

 

·         A large crane (at an approximate additional cost of $60,000) will not be required.

·         The overall cost of moving the Lock-up (twice) is reduced.

 

Disadvantages:

 

·         This option is not supported by the Museum Group.

·         The Lock-up would not be able to be utilised.

·         Reinstatement of the temporary site would be required.

·         Reduction of the Vincent General Reserves.

 

Option 4

 

To not support the relocation of the Lock-up at this time.

 

Advantages:

 

·         The Vincent General Reserves will not be reduced.

 

Disadvantages:

 

·         Once the owners of Lot 2 build on their site the Lock-up would require a large crane at an approximate cost of $100,000.00 to move the building up and over the Blyth Street Museum.

·         The Lock-up will remain underutilised at the rear of the Blyth Street Museum.

·         This option is not supported by the Museum Group.

·         Cost will likely increase over time.

21.9.4         Alexandra Rugby Football Club Power Account

Doc ID:      546782

 

1.       Purpose of Report

 

To consider a request from the Alexandra Rugby Football Club for reimbursement of a portion of historical electricity invoices.

 

Recommendations

That the Vincent Community Board

A.      Receives the report and accepts the level of significance.

B.      Declines the Alexandra Rugby Clubs request for compensation for historical electricity invoices.

 

2.       Background

 

In June 2020 Council received a letter from the Alexandra Rugby Football Club, (the Club) requesting that Council reimburse the club $37,102.34 GST inclusive. The Club claims that over the past ten years it has paid for electricity costs at Molyneux Park that should have been paid for by the Council. Appendix 1.

 

 

3.       Discussion

 

There are two separate issues for consideration. The Groundsman Shed and Bunker and the Stadium’s Park side changing rooms.

 

Groundsman Shed and Bunker

 

The groundsman’s shed was built by the Molyneux Park Charitable Trust in 2006. The construction of the bunker predates this by many years.

 

Upon investigation it was found that the groundsmen shed, and bunker were connected to the Club’s account. This occurred when Council upgraded the park’s irrigation system in late 2013. The original cable from the Stadium to the bunker had to be reburied at this time as the previous cable had failed and was non-compliant.

 

In discussions with a former Council staff member and the electrical contractor involved in this project, both recall a conversation with the Club seeking permission to connect this new cable to the Clubs lighting control box. Their recollection was that permission was granted, since very little power would be used. However, this agreement seems not to have been documented in writing.

 

As it was not viable to redirect the groundsmen shed and bunker onto a Council electricity meter, to rectify the situation a “check” meter was installed in October 2020.

 

The “check” meter is read every month and reimbursement for electricity used at the bunker and groundsman shed is paid by Council to the Club. A reimbursement rate of 21 cents per kWh based on averages of previous electricity invoices was agreed to with the Club. This now forms part of the Club’s lease agreement with Council.

 

Council has on average compensated the Club $16.79 per month for the electricity used by the bunker and groundsman shed since October 2020 when the “check” meter was installed.

 

Stadium’s “parks side” changing rooms

 

The changing rooms being connected to the Club’s meter is historical and likely dates back to when the Molyneux Park Charitable Trust, (the Trust) operated Molyneux Park.

In 2006 Council entered into a management agreement with the Trust. As part of this agreement the Trust were required to undertake a range of functions including:

·         Collecting facility hire and rental charges.

·         Changing room cleaning and services.

·         Monitor water heating and report any problems to Council.

·         Manage and clean 4 sports club changing rooms under the rugby club.

·         Manage the changing rooms water heating system. (Council acknowledges that this system is overdue for replacement, which is not expected to be funded by the Trust).

 

The Trust received an annual funding grant from Council to assist with operations. The Trust augmented its income from user charges.

The final year of charging undertaken by the Trust was 2011. The Rugby Club was charged the following.

-     $2,100 for the season (including changing rooms).

-     Daily charge main oval (including changing rooms) $185.00.

-     Daily charge back fields (including Changing rooms) $125.00.

 

Records indicate Council took over the management of the park and changing rooms from the Trust on 1st September 2011.

 

Currently the changing rooms are used exclusively by the Club for rugby games and practice from April to August/September each year. It is also used intermittently by cricket when 20/20 and other representative matches are held during summer. There is also the occasional casual booking that requires the use of the showers.

 

Councils booking data from 2013 is outlined in the table below. This indicates rugby have been the main user of the facilities with 312 bookings, particularly during the winter months. Bookings recorded by other user groups total 193 bookings – how many of these other user bookings used the showers is not recorded.

 

It should be noted that booking data for some years have not been well recorded. And that for many years the Club would turn the power to the showers off when not required.

 

Table below shows the bookings for the changing rooms since 2013.

Between 2013 and 2018, Council through its fees and charges levied the Club on an annual per field basis, which included the use of the changing rooms.

 

For 2019/20 the yearly charge was a lump sum including the use of all grounds and facilities.

 

When Council was advised by the Club it no longer felt it should pay for the hot water, Council redirected the power used for the changing rooms to the Council meter, this work was completed on 30 September 2020.

 

A “check” meter was also installed on the hot water cylinder to measure its power consumption. The average monthly use of the hot water cylinder since October 2020 is 583.26 kWh per month. Applying the 21c per kWh agreed compensation rate above equates to $122.48 per month. See calculations in the table below:

Notes:

**The length of compensation is not able to be determined for the changing rooms. The Club was paying for the changing room hire within their fees since 2013. The proposed average monthly compensation is based up 21c kWh on 2020 prices. Electricity prices have risen over the last ten years. The Club is seeking 10 years compensation the calculation is based upon this rate.

 

Compensation

 

Council identified that many of the historic electricity accounts received by the Club from their electricity supplier were estimated accounts not actuals. Therefore, to simply compare one year to the next would not provide an accurate picture of electricity consumption over time.

 

Council wrote to the Club in December 2020 explaining that electricity use data needed to be collected over a twelve-month period, analysed, then a report presented to the Vincent Community Board to discuss the Clubs letter before any form of compensation could be considered.

 

Council obtained the Club’s permission to work with their electricity company to resolve the issue of accounts being based on estimate readings only. This resulted in the Club being reimbursed $995.39 from their electricity company in July 2020. As of November 2020, smart meters were installed that are providing actual electricity consumption readings each month.

 

The arrangement for power at the bunker and groundmen shed was made with agreement by council and the rugby club. This was based on the understanding there would be minimal power use by the council contractor. On that basis it is not considered any compensation should be paid.

 

The situation of the Club covering the electrical costs of the “park side” changing rooms is one of long standing. The Club has asked Council to retrospectively cover costs for something the Club has had full knowledge of for many years and where the Club were the main user of the changing rooms.

 

The rugby club managed the power and had the ability to control usage. It is not considered appropriate to call on Council some years later for arrangement that we agreed, and Council had no control over. Council is not able to apportion the power charges to the groups who used the facility.

 

 

4.       Options

 

Option 1 – (Recommended)

 

The Alexandra Rugby Football Club’s request for compensation for historical electricity invoices is declined.

 

Advantages:

 

·         Unbudgeted money will not be required to cover a situation of long standing.

·         All electricity meters are now either being directly charged to Council or a check meter is in operation to record electricity use that is then reimbursed to the Club on a monthly basis.

 

Disadvantages:

 

·         The Club’s expectations of reimbursement are not achieved.

 

Option 2

 

The Alexandra Rugby Football Club’s request for compensation for historical electricity invoices is approved as per the compensation workings above of $16,460.55.

 

Advantages:

 

·         The Club is reimbursed as per their request.

 

Disadvantages:

 

·         The Board will be required to find money for compensation that has not been budgeted for.

·         The Club would receive compensation

 

Option 3

 

Should the Board consider the Clubs request for compensation for historical electricity invoices is approved at an amount decided for by the board.

 

Advantages:

 

·     The Club will receive some compensation.

 

Disadvantages:

 

·     There is no budget allocated for any retrospective payment.

 

 

 

 

5.       Compliance

 

Local Government Act 2002 Purpose Provisions

This decision enables democratic local decision making and action by, and on behalf of communities by allowing the Board to consider the request for compensation by a locally based sporting club.

Financial implications – Is this decision consistent with proposed activities and budgets in long term plan/annual plan?

Council’s fees and charges for 2021/22 levy the Rugby Club for senior players only $850 for the season. This includes use of the grounds and facilities.

There is no allocated budget to cover compensation. Reserve funds would need to be used for any compensation payment.

 

Decision consistent with other Council plans and policies? Such as the District Plan, Economic Development Strategy etc.

The decision is not inconsistent with any Council plan or policy. There is a Reserve Management Plan for Molyneux Park, however this request sits outside the polices within that plan.

 

Considerations as to sustainability, the environment and climate change impacts

 

This decision does not impact on the sustainability of the environment in the district.

Risks Analysis

There are no risks identified with the recommendation.

 

Significance, Consultation and Engagement (internal and external)

This is not significant under Council’s significance and engagement policy.

 

 

 

6.       Next Steps

 

·     The Board’s decision is communicated to the Alexandra Rugby Club.

Income for period ending 30 September 2021:

 

Operating income reflects a favourable variance of $103k.

·     User fees and other income has a favourable variance of $14k. Camping ground revenue is ahead of budget. Pool admissions are slightly behind budget. Pools were closed temporarily due to COVID-19 restrictions.

·     Other capital contributions has a favourable variance of $40k. This can be attributed to the Ophir Hall cost centre. This favourable variance has resulted from the unspent grants from the previous year. These grants are from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Enterprise (MBIE). The funding is for the Ophir Hall bathroom upgrade project and a donation has been received from the Ophir Welfare Committee for an upgrade to the lighting within the hall. There is still $21k of MBIE funding to be uplifted once the bathroom project is completed.

·     Reserves contributions of $61k have been received year to date. These are difficult to gauge when setting budgets as they are dependent on developers’ timeframes.

Expenditure for period ending 30 September 2021:

 

Expenditure has a favourable variance of $166k. These variances are detailed below:

·     Internal interest expense has a favourable variance of $8k, this reflects current low market interest rates.

STATUS

 

October 2021 – The engineering design for strengthening is finished. QS of this design has been received. When taking the approach of combining both the Stage Upgrade and the Earthquake Strengthening Projects the estimated construction costs are over the combined budget.

 

It has also been identified that an accessibility report and a fire report will be required as part of the building consent for both projects. The engineer has both reports underway. Any resulting costs to bring the building up to current code will also need to be factored into these projects.

 

The engineer has suggested council could opt for only the hall section of the Community Centre to be strengthened if the Theatre is not required for Emergency Management purposes. Council’s Emergency Management Officer has been consulted and confirmed this could be a possibility the Board may like to consider.

 

The engineer has been instructed to do further modeling to see how the parts of the complex will perform in an earthquake if they are at different strengthening levels. Once received a report to the Board for a decision to either provide further funding or to proceed but only strengthen the hall side of the complex to 67% will be tabled.

 

September 2021 – Central Lakes Trust approved $32,000. Funding remains $46,500 short. The building is due to be strengthened up to 67% through funding provided this financial year. Possibility of combining these projects for potential cost savings is being explored. Engineer’s design for strengthening work underway.

July 2021 – Funding for asbestos removal approved. Asbestos being removed 5-18 July. Lotteries funding approved in full. Transpower and Alexander McMillan Trust funding applications declined. Central Lakes Trust approached again and will consider application in August funding round.
