2 Public Forum
Carole Gillions and Helen Adair – Abbeyfield
Ms Gillions, the Alexandra Council of Social Services (ACSS) secretary spoke of the new Abbeyfield shared house proposal that they hoped to be able to build at the end of 2026, and noted they were still in negotiations with the landowner. She stated that the proposed facility would cost about $3.5million and offer 14 rooms and that they were considering a range of funding options. Funding for the development would be both on a local and national level, with each of the residents renting their own private space including an outdoor area.
Ms Gillions then responded to questions.
Sophie, Millie and Liliana - Omakau School Students – Manuherekia Hub
The students spoke of the expected benefits of the proposed Hub development, and the opportunities it would offer students at the school and other community groups and listed the sporting, musical and theatrical activities that could take place at the centre.
Pete Sleeman - Omakau Reserve Committee
Mr Sleeman spoke on behalf of Dave Cockburn the chair of the group and gave the board an update of the work underway on the reserve to form a walking track around the reserve.
Mr Sleeman also responded to questions and commented on the council proposal to relocate the waste water site to the reserve, and noted his disappointment the location is too close to the town and particularly the camp ground.
Andrew Paterson - Manuherekia Valleys Charitable Trust (MVCT)
Andrew Paterson, board chair for MVCT thanked the council for their current commitment to the project and noted that the detailed plans were ready for tender and building consent. He outlined where the funding to date had come from and noted that the shortfall would be reduced over the next six months as further fundraising initiatives were progressed by the MVCT but he requested that council would cover the expected deficit.
Mr Paterson then responded to questions.
Earl Harrex - Lauder water quality
Mr Harrex stated that he had resided in Lauder for 14 years and believed that the current lack of potable water in the area was limiting growth. He noted that a group of residents had requested that Otago Regional Council increased the allocation from the Lauder scheme, but that they had not been successful in securing this additional supply.
Mr Harrex then responded to questions.

5 Reports
25.1.2 Request from Earnscleugh Community Society Inc for Earnscleugh Amenity Trust Funding
Doc ID: 1939187
Report Author: |
Rebecca Williams, Community Development Advisor |
Reviewed and authorised by: |
Dylan Rushbrook, Group Manager - Community Vision |
1. Purpose of Report
To consider a request from the Earnscleugh Community Society Incorporated for funding from the Earnscleugh Amenity Trust Fund towards repairs and maintenance of the Earnscleugh Hall.
That the Vincent Community Board A. Receives the report and accepts the level of significance. B. Approves a grant of $19,510.69 to the Earnscleugh Community Society Inc from the Earnscleugh Amenity Trust Fund for costs associated with repairs and maintenance of the Earnscleugh Hall.
|
2. Background
In July 2004 the Environment Court issued its decision on the application by L & M Mining to establish a gold mine in Earnscleugh. Condition 73 of Resource Consent RC001110 issued to L & M Mining in July 2004 states as follows:
The funds were deposited into Council’s accounts in July 2009.
The Vincent Community Board was then tasked with determining a mechanism through which these funds could be distributed. The Board held a public meeting at the Earnscleugh Community Hall to discuss priorities and mechanisms for the distribution of the funds to the Earnscleugh Community in line with the condition of consent.
In 2016 the Board received
a request from the Earnscleugh Community Society seeking funding for
improvements to the Earnscleugh Hall kitchen. The Society progressed with
plans to renovate the hall kitchen and, in 2018, the Vincent Community Board approved
a grant of $35,000 for the kitchen renovations (Resolution 18.6.1). The
report at the time noted that hall was the only built facility in the
Earnscleugh district that was available for community use and that supporting
the development of that facility aligned with the intent of the Amenity Trust
to maintain Earnscleugh’s recreational facilities.
The balance of the Earnscleugh Amenity Trust as at 30 June 2024 was $66,599.
3. Discussion
In September 2024, the Earnscleugh Community Society Inc approached Council to seek advice about the process to access funds from the Earnscleugh Amenity Trust Fund. Staff asked the Society to send in a formal request for funding, including a copy of the budget, quotes for the necessary work and information on any other funding that had been sought by the Society for the project.
On 13 December 2024, a formal request from the Earnscleugh Community Society was received, requesting $18, 216.31 for costs incurred replacing the Earnscleugh Hall’s supper rooms ceiling, replacing the guttering and rewiring costs. This work has been undertaken, and a copy of the invoices are attached, along with the request in Appendix 1.
Usually, grants are considered prior to the work being undertaken. The society has explained the circumstances which lead to the work being undertaken already and it is acknowledged that this fund exists to support the type of work done.
The Society has also requested $1,294.38 to replace two interior doors. This work has not yet been undertaken, and an estimate from Placemakers is also included in Appendix 1. A retired joiner has offered to install these doors for the society, at no cost.
4. Financial Considerations
The balance of the Earnscleugh Amenity Trust as at 30 June 2024 was $66,599. If this request is granted in full, it would leave $47,088.31 remaining for future requests.
The fund exists for the purpose outlined in the report, including to maintain and develop the Earnscleugh Hall.
5. Options
Option 1 – (Recommended)
Approve a grant of $19,510.69 to the Earnscleugh Community Society Inc from the Earnscleugh Amenity Trust Fund for costs associated with repairs and maintenance of the Earnscleugh Hall.
Advantages:
· The Earnscleugh Hall continues to be maintained by the Earnscleugh Community Society Inc for the use of the wider community.
· The Earnscleugh Amenity Trust fund is used for the purpose it was established for.
Disadvantages:
· There are no obvious disadvantages.
Option 2
Do not approve a grant to the Earnscleugh Community Society from the Earnscleugh Amenity Fund.
Advantages:
· There are no obvious advantages.
Disadvantages:
· The Earnscleugh Community Society will be out of pocket for the expenses already incurred.
6. Compliance
Local Government Act 2002 Purpose Provisions |
This decision enables democratic local decision making and action by, and on behalf of communities by providing access to funding to maintain a community facility. This decision also promotes the social and cultural wellbeing of Earnscleugh community, in the present and for the future by maintaining the hall. |
Decision consistent with other Council plans and policies? Such as the District Plan, Economic Development Strategy etc. |
Yes.
|
Considerations as to sustainability, the environment and climate change impacts |
The maintenance of a community facility enhances the resilience of the local community.
|
Risks Analysis |
There are no known risks
|
Significance, Consultation and Engagement (internal and external) |
No additional consultation is considered necessary as the fund is being used for the purpose it was established. |
7. Next Steps
The decision of the Board will be communicated to the Society and the grant paid, if that is what is decided by the Board.

25.1.3 Promotion and Events Grant Application - Dare 2 Sweat Events
Doc ID: 2383158
Report Author: |
Alison Mason, Media and Marketing Manager |
Reviewed and authorised by: |
Dylan Rushbrook, Group Manager - Community Vision |
1. Purpose of Report
To consider an application from Dare 2 Sweat Events to the Promotions and Events Grant budget outside the publicised funding rounds.
That the Vincent Community Board A. Receives the report and accepts the level of significance. B. Agrees the requested grant can be considered under the Council Grant Policy exceptional circumstances criteria. C. Decides the grant to be allocated to the applicant.
|
2. Background
The Central Otago District Council contributes to the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of the local community through the contestable grants process.
The objectives of the grants process are:
· Enhance well-being in the district (social, economic, environmental and cultural)
· Empower local communities
· Facilitate the delivery of community outcomes
· Promote our Regional Identity: Central Otago A World of Difference.
The Vincent Community Board is delegated the authority to consider applications for activities and projects within its boundaries.
The Board considers grant applications in two rounds annually. The next publicised funding round does not close until 2 March 2025, for decisions in the May meeting round. The event that the applicant is seeking funding support for takes place 21 – 23 February 2025. The Grant Policy does not allow for retrospective funding, therefore this application is presented to the Board under the exceptional circumstances criteria.
3. Discussion
An application for a promotion grant of $4,000 to this Spirited Women event was made in the April 2024 funding round. During the assessment of applications, Dare 2 Sweat events prioritised a separate event application for the Goldrush 2025 given the limited funding available to the Board for the amount of applications received at that time. The Board agreed to a grant of $10,000 to the Goldrush event, however it was subsequently cancelled and that grant returned to Council. This amount is now available through the Vincent Community Board Promotions and Events grant budget for applications to the funding round currently being advertised and closing 2 March 2025 with decisions in May 2025.
The applicant reached out to Council staff requesting that fee’s for Council costs incurred be waived citing budget pressures for the event. As staff do not have the ability to waive fees, the option to submit a grant funding application was given.
The applicant is now seeking a grant of $9,500 which they advise would be applied to Council related costs plus associated local event delivery expenses – e.g. venue hire, private landowner costs, marshals, contractors and hire equipment, food and beverage providers etc.
Council costs are estimated as:
Road Closure processing fee $295
Reserve Hire and 4 x Wheelie Bins $270
The updated CODC Grant Policy includes a Chairpersons fund process, however it will not be activated until the new financial year when the Boards will set the amount they wish to hold aside for it. This is an example of when the chairpersons fund may have been activated.
Staff have therefore agreed to accept an application and allow the Board to determine its support or otherwise outside the publicised funding round.
A copy of the application, supporting documentation and staff assessment are provided to the Board under separate cover.
4. Financial Considerations
The Board has $10,000 to distribute for the 2024-2025 Promotions and Events Grant. It is currently advertising a funding round scheduled to close on 2 March 2025 with decisions to be made at May meetings.
The Board has the delegated authority to spend within this budget. Any recommendations above that amount would fall outside of that delegation and would need to be by way of a recommendation to Council.
In this instance the Board may wish to consider a grant ‘in kind’, which could be applied to the Council incurred costs by way of an internal process.
5. Options
The Board is asked to consider the application and determine the appropriate level of funding. There are no other options as the Board has the delegation to allocate grants from the contestable funds.
6. Compliance
Local Government Act 2002 Purpose Provisions |
This decision promotes the social, cultural, economic and environmental wellbeing of communities, in the present and for the future by providing a contestable funding pool that enables projects to be delivered in the community that enhance well-being.
|
Decision consistent with other Council plans and policies? Such as the District Plan, Economic Development Strategy etc. |
Yes, this decision is consistent with the Grants Policy, and other plans and policies that may be impacted by any of the individual grant applications.
|
Considerations as to sustainability, the environment and climate change impacts |
Events bring larger numbers of people together and will therefore have environmental impacts. Applicants are required to facilitate their activities in line with Councils strategies.
|
Risks Analysis |
There are risks where large groups of people come together at events. A Health and Safety plan must be submitted with any Council property bookings for events.
No other risks have been identified in the funding applications.
It is each grant recipient’s responsibility to obtain and/or have in place the appropriate consents, plans and licences (including resource consent, health and safety plans etc.) as required by legislation, agencies, property owners and/or individuals to undertake the projects.
|
Significance, Consultation and Engagement (internal and external) |
The funding rounds are advertised in the local newspaper, Council’s website and Facebook page, and through combined agency community funding clinics. Discussions with departments of Council have taken place where there are impacts arising from the application
|
7. Next Steps
Once the Board has made a decision on the application, this will be communicated together with instructions to access any approved grant.

Dylan Rushbrook, Group Manager - Community Vision |
1. Purpose of Report
To consider a request from St Bathans Area Community Association (SBACA) to retain the Promotions Grant previously approved to the St Bathans Fete event which will now be held in January 2026.
That the Vincent Community Board A. Receives the report and accepts the level of significance. B. Agrees to allow the St Bathans Area Community Association to retain the $1,500 promotion grant for the St Bathans Fete 2026. C. Recommended that the retained grant is applied as per the original resolution 24.4.3. The grant to be applied to traffic management, road closure costs, equipment hire and programmes for the St Bathans Fete January 2026. D. Notes that it is the grant recipient’s responsibility to obtain and have in place the appropriate consents, plans and licences (including resource consent, health and safety plans etc) as required by legislation, agencies, property owners and/or individuals to undertake the project and engagement with affected communities and businesses.
|
2. Background
In April 2024 the Board approved a promotion grant to the St Bathans Fete as per the following resolution.
24.4.3
F. Allocates $1,500 to St Bathans Area Community Association Inc for traffic management, road closure costs, equipment hire and programmes for the St Bathans Fete January 2025 from the promotions grants budget in the 2024/2025 financial year.
J. Notes that it is each recipients’ responsibility to obtain and have in place the appropriate consents, plans and licences (including resource consent, health and safety plans etc) as required by legislation, agencies, property owners and/or individuals to undertake the project and engagement with affected communities and businesses
Following the cancellation of the 2025 fete, the committee is seeking approval from the Board to retain the grant which they would apply to the costs of running the St Bathans Fete in January 2026. (Appendix 1)
3. Discussion
After the wrap up of the 2024 fete and the loss of long serving committee members the decision was made to cancel the St Bathans Fete event in 2025. The remaining committee members made the decision to run the next event in January 2026 hoping to retain grants previously approved.
With a full committee now in place, they believe that the model developed for the event in 2024 was successful and have confidence that they now have sufficient resources and can once again run the Fete for the benefit of the community.
The committee are seeking the approval of the Board to retain the previously approved grant, rather than the more complicated process of refunding the grant and subsequently having to make a new application.
The Boards 2024 – 2025 year promotion grant budget commitments are detailed below. The Board will accept applications to the balance of the current financial year together with applications to the 2025-26 financial year in the funding round scheduled to close 2 March 2025 for decisions at the May meeting.

$10,000 |
Balance left to distribute |
$10,000 |
4. Financial Considerations
There are no financial implications as the grant was approved from the 2024-25 financial year. It has been uplifted and is currently held by the committee. The grant would be applied as intended to the event in January 2026. The retention of the grant does not affect existing budgets.
Should the grant be reimbursed to the Board Promotion Grant cost centre it would have an additional $1,500 available for any applications to the current year received in the next funding round.
Should that 2026 event not proceed for any reason then the grant would be returned to Council as required by the grant policy.
5. Options
Option 1 – (Recommended)
Approve that the previously approved grant of $1,500 for the cancelled 2025 St Bathan Fete may be held by the committee to be used for the 2026 St Bathans Fete
Advantages:
· The committee has security of funding
· The committee does not have to complete the process required to reimburse the uplifted grant then reapply for a new grant during the next funding round.
Disadvantages:
· The planned 2026 event may also be cancelled and the committee would subsequently need to proceed with the process to reimburse the uplifted grant.
Option 2
The Board declines the request to hold over the approved grant and requests it be refunded into the promotion grant budget for 2024-25 year.
Advantages:
· The Board has additional funds available to consider new applications made in the funding round closing 2 March 2025.
Disadvantages:
· The St Bathans Area Community Association will be tasked with completing a new funding application for the 2026 Fete.
6. Compliance
Local Government Act 2002 Purpose Provisions |
This decision promotes the social, cultural, economic and environmental wellbeing of communities, in the present and for the future by providing a funding pool that enables projects to be delivered in the community that enhance wellbeing
|
Decision consistent with other Council plans and policies? Such as the District Plan, Economic Development Strategy etc. |
Yes. Councils grant policy allows for an extension to be granted. The committee is therefore seeking the Boards approval for an extension of time.
|
Considerations as to sustainability, the environment and climate change impacts |
Events bring larger numbers of people together and will therefore have environmental impacts. Applicants are required to facilitate their activities in line with Councils strategies. There is no identified direct impact
|
Risks Analysis |
There are risks where large groups of people come together at events. A Health and Safety plan must be submitted with any Council property bookings for events.
No other risks have been identified in the funding applications.
It is each grant recipient’s responsibility to obtain and/or have in place the appropriate consents, plans and licences (including resource consent, health and safety plans etc.) as required by legislation, agencies, property owners and/or individuals to undertake the projects.

Significance, Consultation and Engagement (internal and external) |

1. Purpose of Report
Approve the notification of the draft Manorburn Dam Recreation Reserve Management Plan (‘the draft Management Plan’) for public submission.
Agrees to hear submissions received on the draft Management Plan.
That the Vincent Community Board A. Receives the report and accepts the level of significance. B. Agrees to approve the draft Manorburn Dam Recreation Reserve Management Plan for public submission in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977. C. Agrees that the Vincent Community Board hear submissions received on the draft plan.

2. Background
The Manorburn Dam Recreation Reserve (‘the Reserve’) is situated at the end of Lower Manorburn Road, Galloway. The Reserve is approximately 76 hectares and is comprised of 4 separate land parcels, legally known as Section 1 – 4 Block VII Cairnhill Survey District Otago.
The Reserve does not have a current Reserve Management Plan (‘Management Plan’) in place. A Management Plan will provide for future development of the reserves and reflect any pressures, constraints, conflicts, and opportunities for the management and development of the reserve and will accommodate growth experienced in the Vincent Ward.
The draft Management Plan has been developed with suggestions received from the community, reserve users, community groups and mana whenua. Where practicable, suggestions received have been incorporated into the draft plan. It should be noted that many submissions received were of an operational nature which will be addressed once a Reserve Development Plan is prepared. The Reserve Management Plan is required to permit, restrict or prohibit activities within the reserve.
Section 41 of the Act outlines the following consultation process when preparing a reserve management plan:
It should be noted that a Reserve Management Plan is not compulsorily required but are best practice and are developed at the discretion of the administrating body.
The administering body of any reserve shall keep its Reserves Management Plan under continuous review, so that the plan is adapted to changing circumstances or in accordance with increased knowledge.
Given the increasing pressures and popularity of this reserve, the Vincent Community Board (‘the Board’) approved developing a Reserve Management Plan (the Plan). At its September 2024 meeting, the Board resolved that it:
A. Receives the report and accepts the level of significance.
B. Agrees in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977 that Council notifies to the public its intention to prepare a Reserve Management Plan for the Manorburn Dam Recreation Reserve and calls for written suggestions on the proposal.
C. Agrees in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977 to notify for submission a Draft Reserve Management Plan for the Manorburn Dam Recreation Reserve.
While the Board approved (in September 2024) to notify the draft Management Plan for public submission, the Board needs to formally approve the draft as being ready for public consultation.
Before preparing the Plan, the first step was hearing from the community about how the reserve is currently used and how the reserve could be used in the future. Suggestions are included in the plan where practicable.
3. Discussion
Pre-consultation
Public suggestions were requested using a short, one-question feedback form using the Let’s Talk – Kōrero Mai consultation platform. A targeted approach in the Vincent Ward was used as the Manorburn Dam is in Vincent Ward and most who use the reserve reside in that ward. The feedback form was open from 17 October - 18 November 2024. Hard copies of the survey were also available at the Alexandra Council Office and the Alexandra Library. A total of 68 responses were received. Respondents were asked:
‘Please provide your feedback on how the Manorburn Dam Recreation Reserve could be used and managed in the future. All suggestions will be considered for inclusion in the draft Management Plan, which will be open for further public review next year.’
Appendix 2 contains the ‘Manorburn Dam Recreation Reserve Management Plan Pre-Consultation 2024’ report. This report includes information about the campaign reach, research design and an analysis of the results along with a summary of the suggestions received.
The Management Plan sets out proposed zoning for the Reserve, and asks the community to provide feedback on two key decisions. Some text from the Management Plan has been included in green font below. Any text highlighted yellow in the Management Plan is relevant to the key decisions around which feedback will be sought in the Public Consultation.
Development Plan
Council will prepare a Development Plan for this reserve that will outline details for planting, tree removal, proposed zoning, formalisation around the access, parking and other tracks and other reserve enhancement work.
Proposed Zoning for the Reserve
The reserve is a valuable community asset that supports a wide range of activities, from passive recreation such as walking and biking to activities like kayaking and camping. However, some high-impact uses, such as four-wheel driving and motocross, are incompatible with the reserve’s ecological and recreational values. These activities can create conflicts, disturb sensitive environments, and negatively impact other users. To address these challenges, a new zoning framework is proposed to better manage the reserve’s uses while ensuring the protection of its natural and community values.
Under the proposed zoning framework, the reserve will be divided into several zones, each tailored to specific activities or conservation priorities. For example:
· Zone A: Recreation Zone – A general-use area allowing a range of low-impact recreational activities (e.g., launching kayaks, picnicking, walking and biking).
· Subzone Zone A1 – An area designated for self-contained camping, with clear guidelines to minimize environmental impact.
· Zone B: Natural Zone – A protected area encompassing ecologically significant environments where activities are limited to walking and mountain biking on designated trails, ensuring the preservation of flora and fauna. This includes two areas, the Natural Zone to the north and south.
· Zone C: Vegetation Management – An area containing pest tree species that are intended for removal. Until vegetation management has been undertaken this part of the reserve will have its own zone to allow Council to manage the removal of the vegetation.
· Zone D: Regionally Significant Wetland – A protected area encompassing ecologically significant environments (e.g., a Regionally Significant Wetland).
To ensure the zoning plan reflects community values, we are seeking public guidance on two key decisions:
Decision 1
Four-Wheel Driving and Motorcross
Four-wheel driving and motorcross will be prohibited within the Reserve entirely to preserve its natural and recreational values.
Decision 2
Freedom camping:
Option A: Prohibit camping within the reserve to reduce potential environmental impacts and ensure the area remains pristine.
Option B: Permit self-contained camping only within Zone C, allowing limited camping opportunities with strict conditions to minimize environmental harm.[1]
The decision around these two decisions is also discussed in the Objectives and Policies section of the Management Plan.
Process
The draft Plan will be publicly notified for two months seeking public submissions. All submissions received will be considered by the Board. Recommendations from the submission process will then be included into the final plan for adoption by Council under its delegated powers from the Minister of Conservation, before becoming operative.
The Reserves Act 1977 process is set out below:
4. Financial Considerations
Cost for preparing this Reserve Management Plan will be accommodated within existing budgets.

25.1.6 Naming of Open Space in Alexandra
Doc ID: 1978904

1. Purpose of Report
To consider the naming of an open space[2] in Alexandra.
That the Vincent Community Board A. Receives the report and accepts the level of significance. B. Approves the open space at the lower end of Tarbert Street, at the junction of the Mata-au/Clutha and Manuherekia Rivers, and legally described as Section 16 Survey Office 307905 to be named ‘Kāmoanahaehae – Riverside Park’. |
2. Background
Central Otago District Council (Council) and the Alexandra Miners Village and Riverside Park Trust (the Trust) are developing an open space, known as the Alexandra Riverside Project (working title). This initiative aims to revitalise the heart of Alexandra by fostering a stronger connection to the rivers and enriching the central business district (CBD) with pathways that invite people to the riverside.
The open space (0.4214 hectares) is located at the lower end of Tarbert Street, at the junction of the Mata-au/Clutha and Manuherekia Rivers. It is legally described as Section 16 Survey Office 307905. The land has not been declared as vested as a reserve and therefore is not classified as a reserve under the Reserves Act 1977. The open space is owned by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) but is managed by Council through a Management Agreement. LINZ have advised they do not have an issue in Council naming this area.
An annotated aerial map of the open space is included below:
Figure 1: Figure 2: Aerial photo of open space, Alexandra Riverside Park (working name), with the open space outlined with black/yellow-dashed line (Source: CODC GIS Maps).
Mana whenua have a significant cultural interest in this area, being the meeting point of both the Clutha/Mata-au and Manuherekia rivers. Council and the Trust have engaged with Aukaha from the early stages of this project. Council the Trust and Aukaha have worked closely on the design to integrate mana whenua values and narratives through the project. This location presents a unique opportunity to increase the visibility of Kāi Tahu identity, stories, and values in a place of central importance—bringing Kāi Tahu culture into the built environment. Through the involvement of Aukaha the developed design depicts cultural themes depicting the story of Rakaihautu and early Māori links to the area. These stories are detailed in the plan document. The plan also pays tribute to the early European influence on this area, particularly the mining and landscape values.
The open space is currently under development, and it has been recognised that the public open space will require a name.
Council approved an Open Spaces Naming Policy (The Policy) in January 2024 (attached as
Appendix 1). The Policy sets out the framework for the naming of open spaces (parks/reserves). The Policy applies to the naming of any Council-managed and owned reserves. The Policy has been in effect since January 2024 and therefore any naming of a reserve, must be carried out in accordance with the Policy. Community Boards are delegated the power to make decisions around the naming of open spaces (Register of Delegations 2024, page 11). However, to go outside of the Policy, Council approval would be required.
3. Discussion
The Policy sets out a process for naming of reserves that ensures that names are unique (no repetition of names), and that consultation has taken place, including with mana whenua and the wider community where appropriate.
The Policy requires Council to engage with mana whenua each time a reserve is to be named, to determine if the site is of significance, and if so, mana whenua is invited to suggest a name for the reserve. Aukaha, representing Te Rūnanga o Moeraki, Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki and Te Rūnanga o Ōtākou mana whenua in Central Otago, have been involved in this project from early stages. It has already been well-established that the site is of significance. Mana whenua have a significant cultural interest in this site, being the meeting point of both the Clutha/Mata-au and Manuherekia rivers.
Mana whenua through Aukaha and the Trust have agreed on the following name for this open space: ‘Kāmoanahaehae – Riverside Park’.
Kāmoanahaehae is the traditional place name for the site where the Manuherekia and Clutha - Mata-au rivers merge. This has been recorded in Ka Haru Manu, the Ngāi Tahu atlas[3]. It is the revitalisation of a place name that has not been in common use for many years.
The term Riverside Park is to reflect in English the location, it is not the English translation.
An aerial photo, indicating the location of ‘Kāmoanahaehae’ is included below:
Te Waipounamu tangata whenua place names map index by LINZ noted that the history/origin of meaning of the traditional place name ‘Kāmoanahaehae’ is (the split seas)[4]
Aukaha has provided a write-up as to the context of this name. Some key parts are included below:
‘Ara tawhito, the traditional pathways of Kāi Tahu, serve as vital arteries of social and economic relationships. These routes provide access to resources, trade, and mahika kai, while generations of use have embedded deep knowledge of place names, stories, and landmarks along the way. Both the Mata-au and the Manuherekia rivers are significant ara tawhito, and their confluence at Kāmoanahaehae is remembered as a key wayfinding site and traditional nohoaka (seasonal occupation site).
Tapatapa, the act of naming, carries immense value. Waitaha ancestor Rākaihautū named the great lakes throughout Te Waka a Aoraki (Te Waipounamu), such as Wānaka, Hāwea, Whakatipu Waimāori and various locations along Te Mata au. As such, the act of naming is considered great importance to Kāi Tahu. The restoration and use of traditional place names from Waitaha, Kāti Mamoe, and Kāi Tahu are vital to reconnecting the landscape with its ancestral history
By embedding mana whenua values and narratives into the design, the project will celebrate Kāi Tahu identity, elevate local stories, and create a legacy of partnership between mana whenua, local government, and the wider community. This initiative is not only about improving the physical landscape but also about fostering a deeper connection between people, place, and history for future generations.’
The complete write-up by Aukaha has been attached as Appendix 2.
Considerations
The Policy states that:
‘A recommendation to name an open space will include evidence that the proposed
name meets one or more of the considerations set out below:
· Celebrates placemaking and belonging.
· Celebrates Central Otago’s history by commemorating individuals, associations and
events (see policy below).
· Ensuring that under-represented groups that have played an important part in Central Otago’s history are given appropriate prominence.
· Aligns with name of an adjacent street or suburb.
· Reflects the local landscape, topographical features, flora or fauna (preference for
· appropriate te reo Māori names).
· Where an appropriate name is already in common use or has been published (for
· example New Zealand Gazette).’
As a part of this assessment, Council staff have assessed the proposed name against the ‘Considerations’ of the Policy. it is confirmed that the proposed name is compliant, meeting one or more of the ‘Considerations’ set out in the Policy.
Dual name
The Policy states that:
· ‘Council supports dual naming.
· Council acknowledges that dual naming can provide opportunities to:
o promote te reo Māori by use of a direct te reo Māori/English translation.
o improve the visibility of mana whenua connections to a place.
· Where a te reo name is gifted for an open space and the space is to have a dual name, the te reo name is first.’
Unique (avoiding double-ups of names)
Double ups of names within the district are to be avoided. The proposed name has been assessed to ensure it is unique and there are no double-ups in the district.
Consultation with wider public
In accordance with The Policy, there will be no public consultation undertaken to seek alternative names. To recognise the significance of names gifted by mana whenua, and the partnership agreement between Council and Aukaha, public consultation will not be undertaken. This complies with Councils Significance and Engagement Policy.
4. Financial Considerations
There are no financial considerations.
5. Options
Option 1 – (Recommended)
Approves the name ‘Kāmoanahaehae – Riverside Park ‘for the public open space at the lower end of Tarbert Street, at the junction of the Mata-au/Clutha and Manuherekia Rivers.

· Tells a story about the history of Central Otago
· Celebrates placemaking and belonging
· Creates a legacy of partnership between mana whenua, local government, and the wider community
· Foster a deeper connection between people, place and history for future generations
· Complies with the partnership agreement between Council and Aukaha (by recognising the significance of names provided by mana whenua)
Disadvantages:
· There are no disadvantages identified.
Option 2
Does not approve the name ‘Kāmoanahaehae – Riverside Park ‘for the public open space at the lower end of Tarbert Street, at the junction of the Mata-au/Clutha and Manuherekia Rivers
Advantages:
· There are no advantages identified in not adopting the recommendation.
Disadvantages:
· Missed opportunity to provide a unique name that aids in wayfinding
· Missed opportunity to tell a story about the history of Central Otago
· Missed opportunity to celebrate placemaking and belonging.
· Damages relationship between mana whenua, local government, and the wider community
· Missed opportunity to foster a deeper connection between people, place and history for future generations
· Does not comply with partnership agreement between Council and Aukaha and undermines relationship with Aukaha.
