  • Housing Affordability in Wellington a Survey of Candidates for Wellington City Council
    Housing Affordability in Wellington A Survey of Candidates for Wellington City Council 1. Introduction The Wellington Housing Trust sent a survey on housing affordability to all candidates for Wellington City Council on Wednesday 22 September 2010. Those candidates who had provided an email address (45 candidates) on the Wellington City Council website were sent the survey by email. Those that did not (3 candidates) were sent a paper copy. Candidates were asked to respond by Wednesday 29 September 2010. Candidates were told that the Wellington Housing Trust will call on the new Council to: o Work with central government to grow community housing organisations in Wellington so we can meet some of the increasing housing needs – both in home ownership and affordable rental. o Change consent processes and development contributions for community housing organisations so we can increase our housing provision. o Offer any appropriate surplus Council owned land to community housing organisations for the provision of affordable housing. Candidates were then asked the following two questions: 1. Do you believe housing affordability is an issue in Wellington City? 2. If so what do you think should be done to address this issue? The full survey document is shown in appendix 1. 2. Results Summary 2.1. Response Rate Thirty of the forty eight candidates responded to the survey, a response rate of 63%. The thirty candidates who responded were: Ray Ahipene-Mercer, Ngaire Best, John Bishop, Camilia Chin, Stephanie Cook, Paul Eagle, Tamia Fagaloa, Andy Foster, Marcus Ganley, Rob Goulden, Mark Greening, Keith Johnson, Justin Lester, Ian McKinnon, Greg McPhee, Mike Mellor, Thomas Morgan, Rex Nairn, Bernard O’Shaughnessy, Iona Pannett, Seann Paurini, Bryan Pepperell, Kerry Prendergast, Kris Price, Allan Probert, Helene Ritchie, Jack Ruben, Rosemary Russell, Tony Travers, Jack Yan.

  • Capital and Coast District Health Board Electing 7 Board Members
    Page 39 Capital and Coast District Health Board Electing 7 Board Members Kathryn ADAMS My principal place of residence is in the Capital and Coast District Health Board area. I am a registered nurse with a PhD. I have held senior nursing leadership and management roles in clinical practice, hospital management, nursing education and clinical research. The health sector is complex and changing. Mental illness is now a leading cause of ill health. Neuropsychiatric conditions, including mood disorders, addictions, anxiety and depression, development disorders like ADHD and autism are affecting more of us now than in the past. I am committed to improve, promote and protect the health of all people in our community. This involves promoting the integration of health services, especially primary and secondary care services. I support the five themes of the government's health strategy - people powered, closer to home, value and high performance, one team and smart system. I am also committed to facilitating Wellington Hospital to return to full tertiary status, including, but not limited to, child cancer and liver transplant facilities. Conflict of Interest Statement I am currently employed by the Hutt Valley DHB as a casual staff nurse with Regional Public Health as a School Nurse vaccinator. To the best of my knowledge and belief, I have no other conflicts of interest with the Capital and Coast DHB at the date of my notice of consent to being nominated as a candidate for membership of the Capital and Coast DHB. I do not believe that any conflicts of interest are likely to arise in the future other than my intended continued employment by the Hutt Valley DHB.

  • The Sale of Wellington Airport (A)
    CASE PROGRAM 2009-77.1 The family silver: the sale of Wellington Airport (A) At 3 pm on Thursday 30 July, 1998, the Wellington City Council met in special session to consider the sale of its 34 percent shareholding in Wellington International Airport Ltd (WIAL), the company that owned and operated Wellington Airport. The New Zealand Government held the other 66 percent of the shares. Government’s long- standing policy was to divest such assets; its coalition partner since 1996, New Zealand First, was challenging this policy. Wellington Mayor Mark Blumsky had repeatedly assured the Government he had a majority of the 18-member Council in favour of the sale. After extensive consultation, most Councillors held firmly declared positions for or against the sale. But two, Kent Clark and Andy Foster, had made no commitment. Wellington Airport In 1959, a new Wellington Airport was opened at Rongotai, on the narrow isthmus between Lyall Bay and the Miramar Peninsula on the south coast of New Zealand’s capital city. Until 1990, the airport was owned and operated as a division of the Council. In 1990, as part of local government reforms instigated by the Labour Government, it was corporatised as a Local Government Trading Enterprise (LATE). Ownership of the airport was vested in a new company, WIAL; the new company began planning for a major airport upgrade. This case was written by Rob Laking, Victoria University of Wellington, for the Local Futures Project. It has been edited for the Australia and New Zealand School of Government, by Janet Tyson. Mark Blumsky, Kent Clark, Andy Foster, Allan Johnston, Sue Piper, Garry Poole and Kerry Prendergast agreed to be agreed to be interviewed for the project and for their names to be used.

  • How Policies Fail the Poorest Children in New Zealand
    Left further behind: how policies fail the poorest children in New Zealand A Child Poverty Action Group Monograph Edited by M.Claire Dale, Mike O'Brien and Susan St John Child Poverty Action Group (Inc) (CPAG) is a non-profit group formed in 1994, and made up of academics, activists, practitioners and supporters. CPAG has a strong education and research role which enables it to contribute to better informed social policy to support children in Aotearoa New Zealand, specifically children who live in poverty. CPAG believes that our high rate of child poverty is not the result of economic necessity, but is due to policy neglect and a flawed ideological emphasis on economic incentives. Through research, CPAG highlights the position of tens of thousands of New Zealand children, and promotes public policies that address the underlying causes of the poverty they live in.

The Panel has been asked to prepare a report that will: • Assess possible local government options for the Wellington region and identify an optimal one, which may include either structural and/or functional changes • Contain a description of the preferred model and how it would operate, including levels of decision making, functions, governance arrangements and a proposed approach to financial arrangements concerning rates/other revenue, debt and liability management • If the preferred option includes any changes, outline transition arrangements, including approximate costs and a timeframe for implementation The report may be used by the Greater Wellington Regional Council and Porirua City Council to form the basis of a submission for reorganisation to the Local Government Commission. In coming to its conclusions, the Panel will need to be satisfied that its recommendations meet the different needs of Wellington’s regional, rural and urban communities and will strengthen the ability of the region to meet future challenges.
