Democracy advisor |
16 June 2009 |
At a
meeting of the Arts, Community and Recreation Committee on 13 May 2009 the
Committee resolved as follows:
- That the Arts, Culture and Recreation
Committee notes that council's festival and community events programme continues
to deliver benefits to Auckland and the community and that this is highlighted
by:
- continued strong demand (attendance) at free
events with over 650,000 people expected to attend the 2008/2009 programme;
- customer satisfaction ratings of above 85%
for all events delivered by council;
- Pasifika festival rating as the
event/activity that Aucklanders were most proud of in their city (as indicated
by the Colmar Brunton research).
- That the Arts, Culture and Recreation
Committee notes that approximately 40% of council's total festivals and
community events budget is externally provided through sponsorship, funding
grants and other activities (such as stallholder fees) and that the economic
climate has, and may continue to have, an impact on council's ability to
generate revenue for festivals and community events.
- That the Arts, Culture and Recreation
Committee endorses that, in light of potential decreases in sponsorship, the
2009/2010 festivals and community events delivery programme will involve council
funding and delivering the following programme:
- Winter Splash,
- Auckland Heritage Festival,
- Diwali Festival,
- Parnell Festival of Roses,
- Community Christmas events (including Great Barrier Santa Parade),
- Music in Parks,
- Auckland Anniversary Weekend (new -
transferred from the sponsorship programme),
- Waitangi Day (transferred from the sponsorship programme),
- Go By Bike Breakfast (transferred from the transport strategy group),
- Lantern Festival,
- Pasifika Festival,
- Auckland International Cultural Festival,
- Teddy Bears Picnic.
- That the Arts, Culture and Recreation
Committee notes that the umbrella regional marketing campaign known as
'Celebrate Pasifika' not be advanced in its current format, instead replaced by
extending the length and scope of activity of Pasifika Festival - subject to
confirmation of central government funding for the next three years.
- That the Arts, Culture and Recreation
Committee endorse that Onehunga Festival and That Thing in the Park not be
delivered by council in the future, however that council funding for these
events be considered as part of the event sponsorship programme (to be
considered at the June 2009 meeting of the Arts, Culture and Recreation
Committee).
Recommending that the resolutions from the 13 May 2009 Arts, Culture and
Recreation Committee meeting, be noted.
