The report also confirms the strategic direction for the Yarrow Stadium Asset Management Plan review as part of both New Plymouth District Council’s and Taranaki Regional Council’s 2018/28 Long Term Plan processes. 8 RECOMMENDATION That, having considered all matters raised in the report, the report be noted. SIGNIFICANCE AND ENGAGEMENT This report is provided for information purposes only, and has been assessed as being of some importance. DISCUSSION Strategic Direction In October 2015, the Yarrow Stadium Joint Committee and the two councils adopted the Yarrow Stadium Strategic Plan, Yarrow Stadium Asset Management Plan and the Yarrow Stadium Business Plan. The strategic plan set out a vision for the stadium to be: The best regional stadium in NZ with a regular programme of national and international sports and entertainment events A stadium for both major events and community events, and for Taranaki’s premier outdoor field, team sports codes A stadium loved by sports fans and the local community A stadium that delivers a quality experience for event promoters, participants and spectators, which is achieved through superior event facilities, presentation and management; and through the early adoption and smart use of technology. Seven goals were identified to meet this vision. To achieve each goal, a series of projects and operational initiatives were identified. A business plan for Yarrow Stadium was also developed which centred on diversification of events, increased usage, long-term partnerships and maintaining effective stakeholder relationships. 6 Yarrow Stadium Joint Committee agenda (29 November 2017) - Decision - Yarrows Stadium Operations Update Item for Decision The Yarrow Stadium Asset Management Plan 2015-25 (AMP) sets out a tactical plan to help manage Yarrow Stadium assets and deliver them to an agreed standard of service. The plan focuses on levels of services, demand, lifecycle asset management and the associated expenditure requirements. The AMP gives an overview of the assets within Yarrow Stadium and the plan to achieve the goals and vision set out in the Strategic Plan above. Both councils are preparing their 2018/28 Long Term Plans. As part of those processes 8 a review of the Yarrow Stadium AMP is near completion. It is not proposed to review the current strategic direction for the stadium, as this was only formally adopted in December 2015. It is proposed that the review of the AMP will be in the context of the current strategic direction for Yarrow Stadium. Venue Operations Activity has continued to grow at Yarrow Stadium over the first quarter of the 2017/18 year. The highlight of the quarter was the All Blacks V Argentina Test in September, attended by more than 22,000 spectators. The success of the Taranaki Rugby team, which reached the semi-final stage of the National Provincial Championship, also attracted healthy numbers to the stadium. Conferences, functions and expos are growing faster than anticipated and community use is still a strong feature. The new hospitality suites in the West Stand are attracting strong interest with bookings growing on a weekly basis. A number of bookings have been confirmed leading up to Christmas. An extensive promotional campaign to promote the new suites included activity on social media, direct marketing via the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce and corporate contacts built up over a number of years. Several major New Plymouth companies have used the suites for meetings, training courses and social events. Ratepayers were offered a special limited deal with discount on venue hire for private functions and several people have taken advantage of this offer. The Legends Lounge continues to be a popular choice for larger events and there are several Christmas functions and other events being held in the next quarter. Yarrow Stadium hosted the funeral of Peter Burke in October with the Legends Lounge as the main venue for the service and reception. The inclement weather during most of 2017 has not only impacted on the construction project but also presented a major challenge to the ground staff in terms of maintaining the fields to their usual high standard. 7 Yarrow Stadium Joint Committee agenda (29 November 2017) - Decision - Yarrows Stadium Operations Update Item for Decision 8 FINANCIAL AND RESOURCING IMPLICATIONS There are no financial and resourcing implications. IMPLICATIONS ASSESSMENT This report confirms that the matter concerned has no particular implications and has been dealt with in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002. Specifically: Council staff have delegated authority for any decisions made; Council staff have identified and assessed all reasonably practicable options for addressing the matter and considered the views and preferences of any interested or affected persons (including Māori), in proportion to the significance of the matter; 8 Yarrow Stadium Joint Committee agenda (29 November 2017) - Decision - Yarrows Stadium Operations Update Item for Decision Any decisions made will help meet the current and future needs of communities for good-quality local infrastructure, local public services, and performance of regulatory functions in a way that is most cost-effective for households and businesses; Unless stated above, any decisions made can be addressed through current funding under the Long-Term Plan and Annual Plan; Any decisions made are consistent with the Council's plans and policies; and No decisions have been made that would alter significantly the intended level of service provision for any significant activity undertaken by or on behalf of 8 the Council, or would transfer the ownership or control of a strategic asset to or from the Council.

  • Jim Tucker, Puke Ariki
    Mellow Yarrow he story behind the plight of Yarrow Stadium is full of “what-ifs” and “with-the-benefit-of-hindsights”. T What if they hadn’t built Taranaki’s premier rugby ground in a swampy valley? What if the NIMBY neighbours around Sanders Park in Westown had accepted the first plan to build Rugby Park there in 1927? With the benefit of hindsight, should the playing field have been laid west-to-east instead of north-south, so the grandstands weren’t built on fill? Now that both stands have been declared earthquake-prone, a lot more what-ifs loom over the investigation into what can be done with the stadium...including the big one – can it stay there? Although Yarrow Stadium may never again attract crowds as big those during last century's Ranfurly Shield eras and international games – nearly 40,000 - memories of extraordinary occasions linger within most Taranaki family histories. We’ve got too much in to abandon the place, and initial alarm has been displaced by determination to fix it. WORDS: Jim Tucker PHOTOS: Jim Tucker, Puke Ariki Mellow Yarrow, Live, August issue 2018 DRAFT 1 f he was still alive, there’d be nobody more shocked than James McLeod (above) at the news Yarrow Stadium’s stands have been declared an earthquake risk. He died in I 1944 after a distinguished career as a politician, chair of the Taranaki Rugby Football Union for more than 30 years, manager of the provincial team and at least one All Black touring team – and the man most responsible for building Rugby Park.

  • Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine Identities
    1 Victoria University of Wellington School of English, Film, Theatre and Media Studies Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine identities Sepelini Mua’au A thesis submitted to the University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Masters in Arts (Theatre) 2016 2 Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine identities Abstract This thesis examines key ideas concerning masculinity and Samoan identity, focusing on the external and internal pressures placed on Pacific Island athletes in New Zealand and abroad to inform the development of an original script, Blackout. In 2014, as part of an Honours script-writing course, I wrote a first draft for my first full- length play. Inspired by the work of Samoan playwright Oscar Kightley, Blackout is a play that intersects the story of four young Pacific Island boys in their last year of College with the journey of a talented young Pacific Islander in his mid-20s trying to make his way in the Professional Rugby world. This thesis is part of a practice- based research project, comprising a 60% theory-based thesis (25,000 words) and 40% practical component, developing the script through three workshop productions. The two working questions the thesis and production process centre on are, firstly how the experiences of young second generation Samoan males can be explored through a contemporary theatre text, enabling the research to develop the story and characters of the play. The second, how the development of this script can enhance an understanding of what it is to be an emerging playwright, grounding the piece in personal experiences and contributing discoveries for young Pacific Playwrights.
