  6. Top NZ OPERA LIMITED - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING

    Leigh Redshaw  
    Manager, Partnerships and Funding 29 August 2008

    Auckland City Council currently provides $75,000 of annual support to NZ Opera. The opera is one of 11 regional organisations provided for in the Auckland Regional Funding Amenities Bill, which was recently reported back to the House after being considered by the Local Government and Environment Select Committee. Delays in the enactment of the Bill have created significant projected deficits in the 2008 and 2009 financial years. Added to this, the withdrawal of two large sponsorship sources during 2008 (totalling $500,000) have created significant projected deficits in the 2008 and 2009 financial years. At the request of Creative New Zealand, the opera's partners have met to discuss a rescue package to allow the NZ Opera to continue operating until the regional amenities funding becomes available. Creative New Zealand is proposing to contribute $125,000 to the funding package, over and above its current financial support, and is seeking a $90,000 local contribution from Auckland City Council.

    Recommending that the Committee notes the positive social, cultural and economic benefits provided to the city by the NZ Opera; that the Committee notes that the $90,000 of additional funding in 2008/2009 for the NZ Opera will come from the relocation of additional Arts Alive funding; and that the $90,000 of additional funding be conditional on $125,000 of additional funding being committed by Creative New Zealand and a commitment by the NZ Opera to find any further 2008 and 2009 budgetary requirements through sponsorships, donations, fundraising and cost reductions.

    Manager, Partnerships and Funding 29 August 2008

    Reporting on the dependence of the Auckland Philharmonia (APO) on Creative New Zealand, local councils and the ASB Community Trust for the ongoing operation of the orchestra. Creative New Zealand is the orchestra's largest funder and Auckland City Council currently provides $500,000 of annual support. The orchestra is one of the 11 regional organisations provided for in the Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Bill, which was recently reported back to the House after being considered by the Local Government and Environment Select Committee. At the request of Creative New Zealand, the orchestra's partners have met to discuss a rescue package to allow the APO to continue operating and balance its budgets until the regional amenities funding becomes available. Creative New Zealand is proposing to contribute $267,200 to the funding package, over and above existing funding support, and is seeking a $90,000 local contribution from Auckland City Council.

    Recommending that the Committee notes the positive social, cultural and economic benefits provided to the city by the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra; that the Committee notes that the $90,000 of additional funding in 2008/2009 for the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra will come from the relocation of Arts Alive funding; and that $90,000 of additional funding be conditional on $267,200 of additional funding being committed by Creative New Zealand and a commitment by the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra to close the residual of its 2008 and 2009 budget deficits through sponsorships, donations, fundraising and cost reductions.

  8. Top CBD STREETSCAPES AND OPEN SPACES UPGRADE PROGRAMME - RECOMMENDED OPTION

    Ian Rae  
    Programme Manager, CBD Streetscapes 2 September 2008

    Reporting on the ten-year programme of CBD streetscapes and open spaces upgrades which began in 2004. The upgrade programme has been reviewed this year, and this report presents a recommended revised programme for the Committee's consideration. The review of the programme has identified that the focus of the next phase of the programme should be on completing the central core city streets. In particular, priority has been given to upgrading those streets where the upgrade would create a CBD destination that people want to visit and spend time in, and where the adjacent buildings can support a range of activities that attract people to the area.

    Recommending that the Committee approve the revision of the CBD streetscapes and open spaces upgrade programme 2009-2014, recommended by the CBD Board, and as outlined within the report; that the Committee notes funding for further projects as outlined will be sought from general rates through the Long Term Council Community Plan; that the Committee approves additional funding of $385,000 for the Swanson Street upgrade project stage two by way of a budget reallocation from the Queen Street/Myers Park project; and that the Committee notes that the revised CBD Streetscapes and Open Spaces Programme no longer funds the Nelson Street, Hobson Street and Beresford Square projects.

  9. Top QUEEN STREET - STREET CLEANING SERVICE LEVEL

    Bruce Crook  
    Contract Relationship Officer, ACR Services 21 August 2008

    Reporting on the street cleaning services on the lower half of Queen Street, which currently undertake a full steam clean of the area three times each week between Monday and Friday. The timing of these services enables maximum productivity, however the standard of cleaning in Queen Street at the weekend is currently below what is required, being limited by high foot traffic. It is proposed to address this shortcoming by providing spot stain and spill-removal limited to between 5am and 9am on these mornings. The cost of the service level increase is $37,000 per annum and can be funded from savings from within the Arts, Community and Recreation Services group.

    Recommending that the Committee approves the increase in footpath cleaning service standard within Queen Street to ensure consistency of service throughout the week and maximise the impact of the recently upgraded streetscape, noting that this enhancement is to be funded from the reallocation of savings to be identified within the Arts, Community and Recreation Services group.

    Leigh Redshaw  
    Manager, Partnerships and Funding 1 September 2008

    Reporting on the Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Bill, which received its second and third readings in Parliament on 27 August 2008. The Bill was successfully passed into law and becomes operative one day after it received Royal Assent.

    The Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Act 2008 establishes a statutory framework for the secure and sustainable funding of a number of organisations providing arts, educational, rescue, or other community facilities or services in the Auckland region. The Act also creates new roles for the Territorial Local Authority Electoral College, including a new relationship with the Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Board. From 1 July 2009, the existing funding agreements with those organisations currently receiving annual operating grants from the seven councils will be terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Act. Should council wish to continue making any payments to any of these organisations, new contracts will be required.

    Recommending the Committee notes that the first year of funding for the Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Act commences on 1 July 2009, thereby terminating all existing funding agreements between Auckland City Council and the amenities named in the Act, and that the first year of the levy payable by council is approximately $3.4 million, for which provision has already been made in the 2009/2010 budgets and future year budgets; and that the Committee notes the Territorial Local Authority Electoral College is required to appoint six members to the newly formed Auckland Regional Amenities Funding Board, requiring a contribution by Auckland City Council and the other six councils towards the costs associated with this process and the establishment of administrative processes for the new board, and that when the matter has been considered by the Electoral College a report will be presented to the Committee with details of the costs associated with establishing the Funding Board, and the Auckland City Council proportion of these.

  20. Top TENNIS AUCKLAND REGION INC. - REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL, 1 TENNIS LANE - LEASE AND SUBLEASE

    Leigh Redshaw  
    Manager, Partnerships and Funding 1 September 2008

    Reporting on the approach made by Tennis Auckland Region Incorporated (previously Auckland Tennis Inc.) to Auckland City Council in March 2006 seeking support for the proposed redevelopment of the site it leases long-term from council. The site is located within the boundaries of the Auckland Domain, and as such is governed by the provisions of the Auckland Domain Act 1987. In order for the redevelopment to proceed, it was necessary to seek legislative changes to the Act. These changes were approved by Parliament in June 2008.

    The proposal from Tennis Auckland is to seek a long-term (35 year plus 15 year right of renewal) lease from council and to sublease part of the site to a private company, Next Generation Clubs of Australia (NGCA), who will undertake a comprehensive redevelopment of the site. This redevelopment will represent the first major overhaul of the site in 20 years and is being partly driven by the need to upgrade facilities to ensure they meet the high standards required of venues hosting international tournaments.

    In order for the redevelopment to proceed, it is necessary for a new lease between council and Tennis Auckland and a subsequent sublease between Tennis Auckland and NGCA be approved. Due to the unique nature of this particular arrangement, it is necessary to undertake public consultation on the form of the lease and sublease. If approved, public consultation on the lease and sublease will commence in mid-September 2008, close in mid-October 2008 and be reported back in November 2008 for final approval of the documents. Tennis Auckland and NGCA will then be able to proceed to the next stage of the development.

    Recommending that the Committee approves the general form of the draft lease between Auckland City Council and Tennis Auckland Region Inc. and the sublease between Tennis Auckland Region Inc. and Next Generation Clubs of Australia, in respect of the site at 1 Tennis Lane, Parnell (being part of Auckland Domain); and that public consultation be undertaken between mid-September 2008 and mid-October 2008 and reported back to the November 2008 Committee meeting with recommendations regarding the final form of the lease and sublease.
