DEED OF LEASE – AKAROA CROQUET CLUB INCORPORATED Contact Contact Details Executive Leadership Team Acting General Manager, City N Member responsible: Environment Group Officer responsible: Manager Parks Operations N Author: Kathy Jarden, Team Leader Leasing Y 941-8203 Consultancy 1. PURPOSE AND ORIGIN OF REPORT 1.1 This report seeks the Council’s approval, under the delegation granted by the minister of Conservation, to approve a new deed of lease to the Akaroa Croquet Club Incorporated. 1.2 At its meeting 20 February 2014 to grant a Deed of Lease to the Akaroa Croquet Club Incorporated at the Akaroa Recreation Ground under the provisions of the Local Government Act. The Community Board resolved to: 1.2.1 Approve the granting of a Deed of Lease commencing 1 January 2014 for three years, with two rights of renewal for a total term of nine years to the Akaroa Croquet Club Incorporated over an area of approximately 2123 square metres being part of Lot 2 Deposited Plan 2868, Lot 1 Deposited Plan 79110, and Section 2 Survey Office 18642, held for Reclamation and Public Recreation purposes contained in Certificate of Title CB45A/1127 held in the Canterbury Electronic Land Registry; and 1.2.2 Approve that the Corporate Support Manager negotiates and concludes the lease agreement on behalf of the Transport and Greenspace Manager. 1.3 Officers have since been advised that a legal opinion exists indicating the Akaroa Recreation Ground should be treated as being reserve and is subject to the Reserves Act 1977. 1.4 Officers are requesting that the Board revoke the resolution of 20 February 2014 and that a new resolution be made in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 The subject land is held for the purposes of Reclamation and Public Recreation. 2.2 The Council has received a legal opinion on the status of the Akaroa Recreation Ground and summarises as follows (Simpson Grierson letter dated 29 August 2013): 4 COUNCIL 11. 9. 2014 Akaroa/Wairewa Community Board 9. 07. 2014 1 Cont’d 2.2.1 “The land (with the exception of the Stopped Road, as that term is defined below) is almost certainly reserve and is subject to the Reserves Act 1977. This conclusion is based on the circumstances of the original acquisition from the Crown, the description of the purpose for which the Land was originally held (and is still held), and a subsequent transaction amalgamating the Stopped Road in 1998.” The legal opinion further states: 2.2.2 “As far as we are aware the Land has never been classified under the Reserves Act. Given our conclusion above that the Land is reserve (with the exception of the Stopped Road), classification under the Reserves Act is mandatory. In circumstances where reserve land has never been classified, section 16(6) of the Reserves Act provides that such land must be held and administered for the purposes of its existing reservation (in this case, public recreation), and the administering body must continue to control and manage the reserve under the appropriate provisions of the Act pending its classification.” 2.3 Under Section 5.7 of the Council’s Delegations Register, Community Boards may grant leases on reserves pursuant to section 54 of the Reserves Act 1977. 3. COMMENT 3.1 Pursuant to Sections 54 (1) (b) and (c) of the Reserves Act 1977, the Council re-advertised the applicant’s proposal that the Akaroa/Wairewa Community Board consider entering into a lease with the Club for this site. There were no submissions or objections to the proposal. 3.2 In June 2013 the Minister of Conservation delegated to all territorial authorities his powers, functions and duties where the territorial authority is the administering body of the relevant reserve. In exercising the delegation provided by the Minister, the administering body (ie the Council) must give consideration to those matters previously applied by the Minister, for example ensuring that: 3.2.1 the land has been correctly identified; 3.2.2 the necessary statutory processes have been followed; 3.2.3 the functions and purposes of the Reserves Act have been taken into account in respect to the classification and purpose of the reserve as required under section 40 of the Act; 3.2.4 the administering body has considered submissions and objections from affected parties and that, on the basis of the evidence, the decision is a reasonable one; 3.2.5 pursuant to the requirements of section 4 of the Conservation Act 1987, the administering body has consulted with and considered the views of Tangata Whenua or has in some other way been able to make an informed decision. 3.3 Compliance with these requirements has been met and reported to the Community Board when seeking the approval to enter into a Deed of Lease in February 2014. 4. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 4.1 The Club has met the public advertising costs necessary to advise of the Council’s intention to grant a lease. 4.2 There are no financial implications in exercising the powers delegated by the Minister of Conservation. 4.3 An annual rent of $351.84 inclusive of GST has been negotiated with the Club for the use of the building and green space area as reported on 20 February 2014. 5 COUNCIL 11. 9. 2014 Akaroa/Wairewa Community Board 9. 07. 2014 1 Cont’d 5. STAFF RECOMMENDATION 5.1 That the Council exercise the powers of the Minister of Conservation referred to in the First Schedule of the Reserves Act 1977 and Instrument of Delegation for Territorial Authorities dated 12 June 2013 that pertain to granting a lease under section 54(1)(c) and (d) to consent to granting a Deed of Lease to the Akaroa Croquet Club Incorporated over an area of approximately 2,123 square metres being part of Lot 2 Deposited Plan 2868, Lot 1 Deposited Plan 79110, and Section 2 Survey Office 18642, held for Reclamation and Public Recreation purposes contained in Certificate of Title CB45A/1127 held in the Canterbury Electronic Land Registry for a period of three years with two rights of renewal for a total term of nine years.
