The facility partnership scheme was established to assist the development of
strategic community facilities for the city. Includes recreation centres at Tamaki College and Waiheke High School, the Auckland Performing Arts Centre at Western Springs College and the Raye Freedman Arts Centre at
Epsom Girls Grammar.
Through partnerships, communities benefit from accessibility to an increased number of quality facilities without the ratepayer having to fund the total cost. Community organisations benefit from the provision of capital
funding, enabling them to meet their requirements sooner and develop better facilities.
The policy
Auckland City receives a large number of approaches for very worthy potential partnerships. Because there is a limited
amount of money to spend on community facilities, not all proposals can be supported and it can be difficult to assess the
merits of the wide variety of proposals. The Facility Partnership
Policy 1999, reviewed in 2001 and 2005, provides guidelines for council and organisations wishing to establish key partnerships.
The main aspects of the policy are:
- an annual programme is set for receiving and processing proposals. This enables the relative merits of the diverse range
of proposals to be comparatively assessed
- eligibility criteria and prioritisation criteria are established
- 'technical' requirements in terms of documentation and operation are set out.
