Subject: ACTIVITY REPORT TO 10 JUNE 2017 To: MURUPARA COMMUNITY BOARD Meeting Date: MONDAY, 26 JUNE 2017 Written by: MANAGER SOLID WASTE

File Reference: A116378

1 REASON FOR THE REPORT

The reason for this report is to provide the Community Board with an activity update for the period ending 10 June 2017.

2 THREE WATERS

2.1 Three Waters Operations Installation of two bulk water meters at the Transforest and Kopuriki sites has been completed to monitor the water intake. Request for Service Activity

Waste Water Water Stormwater

3 0 1

3 TRANSPORTATION

3.1 Emergency Works Currently there are a number of roads that are still affected and are either closed or have limited access on them due to the April storm events. Multiple contractors are still being employed in all areas to clean up slips, clear drainage systems and remove fallen trees and branches as a result of the two Cyclones in April.

3.2 Troutbeck Road - at Horomanga Bridge Due to a major washout at north bridge abutment this section of road is closed. Design options have been assessed and a preferred option is being confirmed this week. Reinstatement works will commence shortly after.

3.3 Te Whāiti Road - From start of Gorge to Te Whāiti The road is washed out in many places and is closed between the locked gates. Access for local traffic only has been approved in consultation with local iwi between 5am - 8am and 5pm - 8pm, 7 days a

week. This is to enable contractors to maximise their daily outputs during the closed period whilst enabling locals the opportunity to come and go without using the Murupara to Minginui forest roads. The aim is to be able to open the road with full public access by end of July 2017.

3.4 Ruatāhuna Road. The road is still closed for public access. Access available for local traffic only. Work continues on multiple sites to repair and reinstate damaged sections of road.

3.5 Waikaremoana Road The road is still closed for public access. Access available for local traffic only. Work continues on multiple sites to repair and reinstate damaged sections of road.

3.6 Street Lighting While repairing street lights in Murupara, Council’s streetlight contractor was advised by local residents that it was a waste of time, as the lights would be smashed once repaired. Threats to contract staff have also highlighted that working in the Murupara township is a health and safety issue that will require security / Police presence when carrying out this work activity. Vandalism to lights in Murupara is an ongoing issue.

3.7 Contract 17-035 - Main Road Pavement Rehabilitation The cyclones have delayed the commencement of this project due to the re-allocation of the contractor’s resources. As it is now late in the season, it is too risky to proceed with this project. Negotiations are underway with the successful tenderer to defer commencement of the contract until September 2017.

3.8 Murupara Accessway Closures At this stage all access ways in Murupara are now temporarily fenced off. We have had some issues with the gates been removed after they were installed but Whakatane Fencing have found ways around this and have managed to keep them in place. Residents who live next to the alleyways have given us a lot of really good feedback and are very happy with the final result and all state that they feel a lot safer. The Murupara Police are also very grateful for the gates as well. Work will commence next financial year to permanently close two access ways per year until they are all permanently closed.

4 PLACES AND OPEN SPACES

4.1 Murupara Hall Site The consultation process has now been completed and an amended development plan will be presented to the following meeting of the Board in August.

4.2 Murupara CBD and Civic Gardens Winter annual plantings are completed and the planning for winter amenity planting is currently underway.

6.1 Activity Report to 10 June 2017 (Cont.)

4.3 River Reserve Upgrade Following a meeting with Te Rūnanga o Ngati Manawa the earthworks for the track from Wingate Park to Taniwha Park was scheduled to commence in April/May. Works have been delayed due to the ground conditions on the river reserve. The works will be rescheduled for the spring.

4.4 Use of the Murupara School/Community Hall Discussions with the Principal of Murupara Area School regarding public access to the facility will be initiated in the coming months. Initial discussions indicate that the school is applying for external funding for the purchase of carpet tiles to protect the stadium floor.

4.5 Murupara CBD Bollards and Grassing Staff will investigate this option and provide updated costs at the next Board meeting.

4.6 Minginui Playground The Council have provided a $10,000 grant to the Minginui community for the development of a playground. Staff have finalised plans with the Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whare and playground equipment has been purchased. The playground installation has been deferred until the road to Minginui has been restored

4.7 Lake Aniwhenua Management Plan Staff have been advised that BOPRC are commencing the preparation of a management plan for the lake water body and the esplanade reserves for the lake. This plan will not be a part of the current Lake Aniwhenua Reserve Management Plan. Nancy Willems Team Leader Eastern and Rangitāiki Catchments (BoPRC) will undertake extensive consultation with all stakeholders including the Murupara Community Board in the development of this plan.

4.8 Shops Bordering the Civic Square An appeal from the Community Board requesting staff to investigate the ownership and future of the shops adjacent to the Civic Square Area has been scheduled. The findings of this investigation will be reported at a future meeting of the Board.

4.9 Application to MBIE – Construction of a new Public Convenience The application to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment – Regional Mid-sized Tourism Facilities Grant Fund for $100,000 for the construction of a new public convenience in Murupara a part of the Governments funding to promote tourism in mid-sized Councils has been approved. This facility is intended to replace the current facility on Pine Drive. Staff now seeks the Boards approval of siting the new public convenience on Centennial Park between Main Road and Koromiko Street as the preferred location of the new facility. Staff will table draft concept plans for the facility at the meeting.

4.10 Hikoi – Murupara Journeys – Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Manawa Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Manawa have developed the concept proposal for the ‘Hikoi – Murupara Journeys’ project. This project provides interpretation options for sites with natural, cultural and/or recreational values in and around Murupara.

6.1 Activity Report to 10 June 2017 (Cont.)

5 MURUPARA SWIMMING POOL

The Murupara swimming pool was closed after the start of the Edgecumbe flooding. Even though Murupara was closed early the total entries were 1177 higher than the 2015-2016 season which shows a 34% increase in total entries. Most of the increased percentage came from a number of schools using Murupara for swimming training and activities such as swimming sports. We are due to start the closing maintenance for Murupara within the next fortnight. A closing maintenance list has been compiled and quotes are being obtained from contractors to get the work completed.

6 STRATEGIC POLICY

6.1 Road Safety

6.1.1 Advertising and Promotions Branded rugby gear packs were given to local rugby clubs in the lead up to the winter sports season, namely Pūtauaki Stags League Team in Kawerau, and the Ōpōtiki and Paroa Rugby Clubs - selected due to both geographical and socio-economic factors. Each of these teams received training packs custom-printed with their team names and Eastern Bay of Plenty Road Safety Programme branded messaging promoting options to prevent drink driving. The packs were gratefully received and contained specially printed water trolleys, drink bottles, side-line flags, coasters and bar-mats. Promotion of all programmes, events and targeted campaigns utilise Ko Konei, Eastern Bay Life, as well as Radio 1XX and SunFM.

6.1.2 Social Media - General The social media presence for the Eastern Bay Road Safety Programme is continuing to increase and strengthen. The Facebook page currently has 2,037 followers, which with the roll out of online campaigns, continues to rise and has met the target goal of 2,000 followers by end of June 2017. It has received fantastic engagement levels with the community through using cleverly-targeted competitions which run in conjunction with events.

6.1.3 Child Car Restraint Programme A series of pop-up Car Seat Clinics was planned to take place across the Eastern Bay of Plenty in April, but was postponed due to the floods and rescheduled for the week of 9 May 2017. Locals are invited to come along to the free sessions to have their children’s car restraints fitted or checked by local authorised Car Seat Technicians. At each location, a free car seat can be won and there will also be an online competition and promotion through the Facebook page. This series of events was delivered in collaboration with Plunket, Eastern Bay REAP, Te Pou Oranga o Whakatōhea, Bay of Plenty Regional Council, and both the Ōpōtiki and Kawerau District Councils.

6.1.4 Marae based repeat drink/drug programme A debrief of the successful 2-day marae based programme for repeat drink and drug drivers was held. This programme is developed and facilitated in collaboration with Corrections, Police, NASH and an alcohol and drug community assessor/facilitator. Over the past year, 95% of participants have not reoffended in drink/drug driving.

6.1 Activity Report to 10 June 2017 (Cont.)

6.1.5 Learner licence The hapū-based learner licence programme is currently being delivered in Murupara/Minginui, in partnership with Eastbay REAP.

6.1.6 Senior Drivers The Senior Drivers programme is to be held on 19 June 2017 in Galatea in partnership with Eastbay REAP.

6.1.7 Fatigue Stop The Fatigue Stop has historically been held over Labour Weekend in the Waioeka Gorge and has been regionally reviewed. In planning stages is a much more regional collaborative effort on 1 January 2018 (following the Rhythm and Vines Concert in Gisborne) and will be held at Matatā, with time and partners to be confirmed.

6.1.8 Healthy Homes Project, Murupara Under the Year 1 programme, a total of 80 properties have been referred to Smart Energy Solutions for an insulation assessment. District Health Board high health needs and self-referrals have resulted in 31 properties being insulated. Five Community Day/DIY workshops have been delivered. The project is currently between funding cycles, utilising the balance of funds and current staffing to 30 June 2017 and the priority is another Community Day/DIY scheduled for 28 June 2017 in partnership with Bunnings as well as a further 22 properties to have the maintenance assessment completed. The Whakatāne District Council, along with the Local Steering Group, has submitted the project proposal for Year 2. BayTrust will consider this at their September 2017 board meeting. At the last BOP Regional Healthy Homes Forum, the Edgecumbe Liveable Homes Project presented an update to their project and the need to further define the group’s purpose was discussed. A sub- group will meet to identify models of best practice for Healthy Homes programmes.

6.2 Youth Development

6.2.1 Youth Council The Whakatāne District Youth Council is well underway, with 16 young people from Whakatāne, Ōhope, Edgecumbe and Tāneatua. They have completed various team building activities, have designed their own t-shirt to be worn at events and activities, have held weekly meetings and planning towards their event scheduled for 30 September 2017. Facebook has been the main to way to engage other young people and public views have increased from 230 to 1730. Ways to engage with youth 16-24 years in Murupara is still being explored. Youth Council activities have included; • input into Whakatāne Ki Mua on 10 May • engaged with local youth at the Edgecumbe Oho Ake concert on 28 May • attended an information seminar in town with Councillor Nándor Tánczos and Labour Party representatives on 26 May • involved in the Community Liquor control activity with local Police • preparing for the Awatapu Lagoon Community Day

who facilitates youth development for the Kawerau District Council has been selected as the local part-time Coordinator, who will support these future leaders across the Eastern Bay. These young people will also participate in the *Festival for the Future* and a meet and greet is yet to be scheduled with the Mayor.

6.2.3 Festival for the future We are currently coordinating 10 entrepreneurial youth within Whakatane to attend the innovative and inspiring youth convention weekend in Auckland. These youth aged 18-24yrs have been selected from Edgecumbe, Te Teko, Tāneatua, Rūātoki, Whakatāne and Awatapu. Last year Celine Chapman Tapara attended from Murupara.

6.3 Whakatāne Ki Mua Whakatāne Ki Mua is continuing to gather the thoughts and ideas of the community. While the severe weather events delayed the active progression of the engagement, opportunities already in place have meant that feedback has continued to come in. To date we have had feedback from over 1300 people, either in person at events, online or via hard copy surveys. Surveys, marketing and drop-boxes have remained at a number of locations throughout the District. The impact of the floods has meant that this project has been delayed for two reasons. Firstly, it did not seem appropriate to be having the conversation with the community during a civil defence emergency, and secondly, resources, both of the Ki Mua team and our partner organisations, have been stretched over the last two months. This delay will now result in outputs from the engagement by the end of July, rather than the initial timeframe of the end of May. However this delay does present opportunities to enhance the collaborative nature of the project and allows for a Ki Mua presence at additional events. The engagement campaign, while reduced since the floods, has recommenced in earnest in June. There is a final push for community engagement, with the focus being on a collaborative approach. A mail-out to every household occurred in early-June, to ensure that all residents have an opportunity to input. Some of the events and opportunities for community engagement that have been delayed, but are progressing through June, include: • Specific school programmes throughout all schools in the District. • Awatapu Lagoon Open Day • Disability Sector Workshop • Kopeopeo Scooter Race • Murupara Area School Community Hui • Increased use of media, including radio and social media The feedback we’ve had to date is coming from across the District, and we are working hard to try and make sure feedback is received from a representative cross-sector of our community.

6.4 Annual Budget Update The Annual Budget Update is due to be finalised by the Council at their meeting on 22 June 2017. Based on budgets presented to Council in February, there was no requirement for the Council to formally consult on the Annual Budget Update 2017/18, as no material or significant changes were being proposed compared to the Long Term Plan. Informal consultation events were planned for April, but were affected by the flooding events. The 2017/18 budgets have had to be reassessed in response to the costs incurred during the flood and the necessary works that will now be required going forward. As a result of the flood and the related budget changes, the average rating increase expected to be adopt through the Annual Budget Update is 3.89%.

6.5 Long Term Plan Development Development of the Council Long Term Plan 2018-28 (LTP) has commenced, with work underway on many of the 18 projects that lead to the development of the LTP. The LTP presents the opportunity for the Council to outline the Council’s priorities, work plans and levels of service for the community for the next ten years. Feedback received from the community through the Whakatāne Ki Mua project will help to influence the Council’s priorities and direction. As the LTP programme progresses, the Community Board will be provided with opportunity to input into the LTP development.

7 MURUPARA LIBRARY AND SERVICE CENTRE

208 children attended the Murupara School Holiday Programme “Autumn Breeze” during April.

Introduction DIS OMMUNITY a Under the Treaty of Waitangi Settlement, various lands in the vicinity of Murupara were returned to Ngāti Manawa. One of these was a 20 TRIC o

hectare block along the left bank of the Rangitaiki River that is now gradually being developed into a public-use area with tracks, a lookout, a Ng T a

memorial area and structural facilities such as (potentially) information shelter or visitor centre. Alongside these recreational developments the C ti OUNCIL

aim is to restore the mana of the land and waterways with restoration projects (stream enhancement / weed and pest control / replanting natural Mana BO vegetation areas etc). A more detailed outline of the development proposals is available from the Te Runanga o Ngāti Manawa offices9B ( ARD Koromiko Street, Murupara 3025) w a However, Ngāti Manawa want this area, Kani Rangi Park, to be more than just a nice place to walk or picnic. They want it to become a place where - - A Murupar visitors can find out about the stories hidden in the landscapes, explore its history, and understand the deeper significance of the place to its GEND people. And the stories that start here will extend out into the community and the wider area – so that locals and visitors alike can explore more

of the natural and cultural taonga that make the area special. The vision is of an integrated set of high quality interpreted experiences that give A

visitors and locals greater insights and add to their enjoyment of the place. And a happy visitor is one who will tell others about their experience, a Journe and will stay longer and / or become more involved. This plan looks at the stories that can be told, the places that can support the stories, and the ways that they can be told. Options for short

term and longer term developments are explored as well as broad design and content frameworks. y s Hik oi (Con t.) MOND A Y , 26 JUNE P ag 2017 e 20 6.1.1 MURUP WHAKA T e T ARA Runang ĀNE C

This 20 hectare reserve along the left bank of the Rangitaiki River is a public-use area currently with a walking track and lookout.

facility development – planned future developments include a memorial area / gathering space and structural facilities such as an information BO shelter (and potentially a visitor centre) and toilets. ARD

Interpretation is proposed for several locations within the park w a - - 1.1 Entrance area A Murupar GEND This will be a gathering place and information hub. It needs to create a sense of arrival but also make it clear to people what is available for them at that site and beyond. So it will have several functions: A • Welcome a

Te Ana Maru C DIS A few kilometres west of Murupara is a natural rock shelter, rediscovered in 1925 after it had apparently fallen out of use/local memory, OMMUNITY a with a large number of waka carvings and some zigzag and ladder figures. The waka have conventional āM ori prow and stern pieces and TRIC o

are decorated with spirals. The site has been investigated several times and has had some inventive interpretation, such as suggestions Ng T a that the carvings depict the Great Fleet. However, archaeological investigations have shed little light on who created them and what the C ti OUNCIL

story is behind the images, though it is generally thought that the carvers were Te Marangaranga people, who were later defeated by Ngāti Mana BO Manawa and driven from the area. ARD

Ngāti Manawa now own and manage this significant site with its unique carvings but little has so far been done to improve the facilities as w a the future management options are pondered. The carvings are currently protected by a metal fence and there is an old, unreadable and - - A Murupar very ugly sign behind the fence. The site is still vulnerable to vandalism so currently access is restricted simply by not openly promoting GEND its location (it is not signposted and the track is not obviously) or using it in any visitor marketing. Longer term it should be possible to

develop the potential of the site if a better control system is installed (eg by putting in secure fencing around a wider area and allowing A

access only through guided tours). In terms of interpretation the priority should be to remove the existing sign and then to put in basic a Journe signs to give some content to visitors who do find their way to the site on their own. Longer term more targeted signs could be developed to support the tour guides (eg using visuals to compare the waka in the carvings to the ‘real’ thing etc). y s

Karamuramu / Fort Galatea C DIS Located 5 km (as the tui flies) north of Murupara, Karamuramu was historically an important locale for seasonal food gathering and Ngāti OMMUNITY a Manawa whanau still live locally. Historically there were camps on the river terrace which were used year after year. This pattern of use TRIC o

was disrupted in the 1860s, when troubles arose between land hungry Europeans and Maori resistance groups. The Bay of Plenty was at Ng T a the heart of the conflict and Government forces set up a fort at Karamuramu (Fort Galatea), one of a series established between Matata C ti OUNCIL

and Murupara. After the redoubt was abandoned in 1877 a Maori school was established in the barracks (it closed in 1878 and reopened Mana BO in 1881) – with some exceptions a school operated on the site until 1898 when it moved to Awangararanui and the site was farmed until ARD

the 1950s. It was a historic reserve managed by the Department of Conservation for several decades and was returned to Ngāti Manawa in w a

2012 It remains a reserve open to the public and visitors can use a walking track / circuit, currently with fairly old interpretation signs.

For many decades Kani Rangi Park was used as a forestry depot and plantation area.

Though the community held festivals, wood A chopping competitions, gala days and sports competitions in the open spaces, it had lost much of its mauri (natural life force). a In 2010, the land was returned to Ngāti Manawa and the community began the long

process of bringing nature back to the Journe whenua (land) and reforging strong links between the community and the park. One of the first things on the list was to begin a managed replanting programme. Clearing and cleaning up the site began early in 2016 and on 13 June that year the first community planting day was held – this was at the Project Crimson sites on Waiora and River Roads.

As you walk or ride around the park look for the

plaques that identify the different planting areas – y enjoy seeing how with each successive year nature

is reclaiming its place in Kani Rangi Park and s creating a living memorial to the enthusiasm and

vision of the Murupara community. Hik
