6. RAINBOW WARRIOR PAINTINGS

   Warren Pringle
   Senior Arts Planner	7 March 2007

   Advising that the Rainbow Warrior paintings currently held by the Maritime Museum are not on permanent display, but can be viewed upon request for research on either the artist or the paintings. Discussions regarding the feasibility and potential of including the paintings in a waterfront heritage walk during the annual Auckland heritage have been positive, and an opportunity for the works to be shown annually could be provided if there is key stakeholder support and appropriate provisions for display.

   Recommending that the paintings remain at the Maritime Museum for viewing/study and that officers continue discussions with the Maritime Museum and the Auckland Heritage Festival on the proposal to include the paintings as part of an annual waterfront heritage walk, with the recommendations of the sub-committee being communicated to the Member of Parliament for Auckland Central.

7. AUCKLAND DOMAIN - RAF BOMBER COMMAND MEMORIAL

   Warren Pringle
   Senior Arts Planner	19 March 2007

   Reporting on the progress for the concept of a memorial to commemorate Royal Air Force (RAF) Bomber Command personnel lost in World War II. Advising that the initial concept for a large freestanding memorial in front of the War Memorial Museum in the vicinity of the Cenotaph would contravene the provisions of the current Domain management plan and potentially set a precedent for other groups seeking memorials of similar size and scale in this location.

   Noting that the second option of a freestanding work either to the side or to the rear of the museum has been explored, but no suitable sites were identified that were both acceptable to representatives of the RAF and complied with the Domain management plan. Therefore, the third option that integrates the memorial within the wider Cenotaph area is considered by officers to be the most strategic and transparent way to protect the integrity and primacy of the Cenotaph and the museum itself as enduring memorials.

   Recommending that officers continue to work with representatives from the RAF Bomber Command Association New Zealand to progress an integrated concept design aligned to the draft War Memorial Museum and Cenotaph master plan.

   Brenda Railey
   Arts Project Manager	10 July 2006

   Reporting on a detailed design of 'Taurapa', by Fred Graham, and the status of the project as part of the CBD Streetscapes upgrade. Advising that the artwork aims to reveal the cultural and geographic significance of the foreshore area in the occupation of the Tamaki Isthmus and the development of Auckland City. Consultation with Ngati Whatua, Ngati Paoa, and LA4 is on-going, while the project has been endorsed by the Bank of New Zealand Tower property mangers and Multiplex.

   Recommending that the sub-committee endorse progressing the development of 'Taurapa' from detailed design to build and installation.
