At its meeting on 21 February 2008, the Maungakiekie Community Board considered
a notice of motion on the rent review for the land occupied by the Manukau
Cruising Club. The Manukau Cruising Club is currently considered as a
commercial entity and the lease holder, Auckland City Council, has proposed a

Services Committee consider that no rental increase occur for the Manukau
Cruising Club.

Services Committee re-classify the Manukau Cruising Club as a community
organisation, and that this re-classification is backdated to July 2004.
Recommending that the resolutions from the Maungakiekie
Community Board, dated 21 February 2008, regarding the reclassification of the

WESLEY YOUTH
SPACE UPDATE
| Jesse Colquhoun |
|
| Senior Policy Analyst |
20 February
2008 |
Providing a report on the background of the Wesley Youth
Space project. This project is designed to meet an identified need for a 'safe'
youth space in the Wesley area.
A study undertaken in 2007 identified that a facility,
located adjacent to the existing Wesley Community Centre, would best meet the
needs of youth in the area.
A preliminary budget estimate of $2,825,000 has been
developed based on the current scope of works. Operation expenditure is
estimated to be $200,000 per annum.
Recommending that the Committee endorse the development
of a detailed business case for the project, and the outcome be reported back to
the Committee and the Mt Roskill Community Board in May 2008.
