Tēnā koutou,

I am Ross Roberts, the Commodore of Tamaki Yacht Club. A a keen sailor from England, I moved to New Zealand in 2008 to enjoy the fantastic marine environment in which is world-renowned for its sailing. When not sailing I work as an engineering geologist trying to manage the social and environmental effects of natural processes such as landslides and volcanic eruptions.

I am writing to start a discussion with you about possible future plans for Tamaki Yacht Club, the sailing club at Bastion Point between Mission Bay and Ōkahu Bay.

Tamaki Yacht Club was founded around the time that was opened in 1932, and has been a centre for small sailing yachts ever since. We are a small club that is mainly used by more experienced sailors for casual racing, because the slipway is quite exposed so the club is not particularly well suited for learners.

The clubhouse was built when the club was founded, and was slightly expanded in 1972 at the front, in the former location of a gun turret that protected the entrance to the Waitematā during the war. This extension from the 1970s now needs refurbishing as it is reaching the end of its design life and is in poor condition. The club needs to partially demolish the existing structure (as some parts are in too poor a condition to re-use) and hopes to refurbish it in a manner that looks and functions in the same way as the existing building. I have included a map (below) that shows the extension outlined in pale green at the northern end of the club.

Before the club can start fund raising for the building work, we need to be confident that we can continue to use the site as a sailing club in future. The club has leased the land upon which the club buildings sit from the Department of Conservation, but this lease expires in 2024. The area of land that is covered by the lease is shown outlined in blue on the map below. We cannot raise funds to refurbish the club if there is a risk that the lease will not be renewed in four years, so we are hoping to negotiate a new lease with DoC for a 30 year period.

We anticipate that both the plans for the lease, and for the building refurbishment, will be of interest to you.

I am very keen to hear your views on these plans, and to understand what involvement you would like in the decision making for these two projects. I would be happy to meet with you, or communicate by email if you prefer, to answer any questions you have about this.

Tēnā koutou,

I am Ross Roberts, the Commodore of Tamaki Yacht Club. A a keen sailor from England, I moved to New Zealand in 2008 to enjoy the fantastic marine environment in Auckland which is world-renowned for its sailing. When not sailing I work as an engineering geologist trying to manage the social and environmental effects of natural processes such as landslides and volcanic eruptions.

I am writing to start a discussion with you about possible future plans for Tamaki Yacht Club, the sailing club at Bastion Point between Mission Bay and Ōkahu Bay.

Tamaki Yacht Club was founded around the time that Tamaki Drive was opened in 1932, and has been a centre for small sailing yachts ever since. We are a small club that is mainly used by more experienced sailors for casual racing, because the slipway is quite exposed so the club is not particularly well suited for learners.

The clubhouse was built when the club was founded, and was slightly expanded in 1972 at the front, in the former location of a gun turret that protected the entrance to the Waitematā during the war. This extension from the 1970s now needs refurbishing as it is reaching the end of its design life and is in poor condition. The club needs to partially demolish the existing structure (as some parts are in too poor a condition to re-use) and hopes to refurbish it in a manner that looks and functions in the same way as the existing building. I have included a map (below) that shows the extension outlined in pale green at the northern end of the club.

Before the club can start fund raising for the building work, we need to be confident that we can continue to use the site as a sailing club in future. The club has leased the land upon which the club buildings sit from the Department of Conservation, but this lease expires in 2024. The area of land that is covered by the lease is shown outlined in blue on the map below. We cannot raise funds to refurbish the club if there is a risk that the lease will not be renewed in four years, so we are hoping to negotiate a new lease with DoC for a 30 year period.

We anticipate that both the plans for the lease, and for the building refurbishment, will be of interest to you.

I am very keen to hear your views on these plans, and to understand what involvement you would like in the decision making for these two projects. I would be happy to meet with you, or communicate by email if you prefer, to answer any questions you have about this.
