The following submitters were heard by the Committee: Bill Feather, Mosgiel Taieri Community Board and Sarah Nitis Mr Feather and Ms Nitis spoke to the submission on behalf of the Mosgiel Taieri Community Board and emphasised the need for increased investment to enhance Mosgiel's existing infrastructure. Ms Nitis spoke on the Economic Development strategy and the positive impact of economic growth and emphasised the need to support and provide additional funding to economic development. She commented that expenditure in Council strategies would benefit the city with the encouragement of new visitors and residents. Mr Feather asked for the consideration of a community board elected member training plan, inclusive of funding, to be put in place for the new triennium. Gerard Collings, Waikouaiti Coast Community Board Mr Collings spoke to the submission on behalf of the Waikouaiti Coast Community Board. He advised that the Board was supportive of funding towards the investigation of coastal erosion however was concerned that the proposed allocated funding of $75,000 may be inadequate and sought assurance that the budget would not be constrained. Mr Collings commented that the Board would like Council to actively ensure there were adequate facilities provided to support freedom camping and cited the problems incurred at the Warrington Domain. He advised that whilst the Board appreciated the installation of temporary port-a-loos for the season, they would like a more permanent year-round solution. Council Annual Plan Hearings/Deliberations Minutes 4 and 5 May 2016 Page 3 of 17 Barry Williams, Strath Taieri Community Board Mr Williams spoke on behalf of the Strath Taieri Community Board's submission and in particular, the deterioration of the maintenance of gravel roads and requested that Council maintain the level of service it provided. Mr Williams suggested that Council could extract gravel from the Taieri River which would both save money and reduce the flooding risk. Mr Williams requested that the funding provided for the Middlemarch swimming pool be increased from $10,000 to $20,000 per annum. Scott Weatherall, Saddle Hill Community Board Mr Weatherall spoke on behalf of the submission from the Saddle Hill Community Board and raised concerns about coastal erosion and freedom camping. He requested that options for additional sites for freedom camping in the area be investigated to alleviate the pressure on the toilets at Ocean View. Mr Weatherall identified the Brighton Surf Club as a possible alternative site but advised that there would need to be consultation with residents and staff prior to the agreement of the site. Mr Weatherall advised that the Board was concerned with coastal erosion in the area and commented that some roads in the Board area were under threat of falling into the ocean. Mayor Dave Cull left the meeting at 9.56 am and Cr Staynes took the Chair. Mr Weatherall spoke of the frustration with the length of time taken by the Environment Court to reach a decision on the quarrying of Saddle Hill. Mayor Dave Cull returned to the meeting at 9.58 am and resumed the Chair. Mr Weatherall spoke of road safety concerns in the area and in particular the Allanton/Scroggs Hill Road – Scroggs Hill Road intersection where cars regularly left the road. He commented that the Board was concerned with the proposed increase in fees for the landfill and advised that it would result in an increase in roadside dumping. Cr Hilary Calvert left the meeting at 10.04 am and returned at 10.08 am. Paul Pope and Edna Stevenson, Otago Peninsula Community Board Mr Pope and Ms Stevenson highlighted concerns raised in the submission from the Otago Peninsula Community Board. Mr Pope and Ms Stevenson commented on the Portobello/Harington Point Road Safety Improvement – Accelerated Programme. They commented that the Te Rauone Beach Rock Breakwater and Sand Nourishment Project was a priority for the Board and requested that Council carry forward the $50,000 funding for a breakwater at Te Rauone beach. Mr Pope spoke of road safety issues and commented on the Board's support for the Dark Skies Project and the need to include parking spaces for viewing the night sky which should be considered in conjunction with the road safety improvements. Mr Pope and Ms Stevenson commented on the need for toilets to be installed on the Otago Peninsula, and in particular at Sandfly Bay. They requested that more emphasis be given to the requests in the Community Plans. Council Annual Plan Hearings/Deliberations Minutes 4 and 5 May 2016 Page 4 of 17 Steve Walker, Chalmers Community Board Mr Walker spoke on behalf of the Chalmers Community Board and reiterated the points raised in its submission. In addition Mr Walker commented that he would like to see Council raise the awareness with residents that despite the questions being asked for the draft Annual Plan, they were able to submit on anything of interest. Mr Walker commented that the Board felt that the state of fencing and general look of the SH88 corridor should be addressed urgently. Cruise ship passengers increased annually and this was a very poor first impression of Dunedin in terms of marketing in the city. Cr Mike Lord left the meeting at 10.37 am and returned at 10.39 am. Mr Walker spoke of the need to complete the shared pathway using the footpath next to SH 88. He noted that a more affordable solution was requested however the Board would not like to see the project corrupted for the sake of early completion.
