COMMUNITY
LEASE SPACE WITHIN THE WAIHEKE ARTWORKS COMPLEX
| Rachael Dent |
|
| Community Venues Manager |
16 January
2008 |
Providing an update for the Board following its
resolution at the 21 November 2007 meeting in support of the establishment of a
radio station on Waiheke, and the investigation into the leasing of such a venue
at the Artworks Centre. In accordance with this resolution, officers have
investigated this option and do not support proceeding with such a lease at this
time. A strategic plan will be developed for the Artworks complex to clarify
its focus, role, function and priorities into the future, which will provide
clear guidance on the use of existing buildings and identify community and
commercial activities. It will also provide a basis for the planning of the
library development as an integral component of the Artworks complex, and it is
expected that the strategic plan for Artworks will be completed early in the
2008/2009 financial year. The advertising of all available lease space will
commence as soon as the strategic direction has been completed, and will involve
advertising in the local papers and contacting all relevant stakeholders.
Recommending that officers await the outcome of the
strategic plan being developed for Artworks, and commence the standard community
lease process should community space be allocated within that plan.
