2 BACKGROUND | TE KŌRERO Ā MUA
Through a series of Council workshops in 2020, the development of the Manaaki Toiora Committee actions and LTP budgets were discussed and Councillors identified several potential actions that would require the appointment of a district advocate.
The Community Advocacy Officer position was established to advocate on behalf of the district to Central Government and other external organisations for funding and support to assist in achieving actions and outcomes set by the Manaaki Toiora Committee.
3 ADVOCACY PRIORITIES
After the 30 March 2021 Manaaki Toiora meeting, a workshop was run to outline and prioritise actions for the Community Advocacy Officer. This will be included in the work programme for this position until the new Manaaki Toiora Strategy and Action Plan are developed later in 2021.
These proposed actions are listed in order of priority below: 1. Advocate for agencies developing strategies to assist with youth classified in ‘Not in Education, Employment or Training’; 2. Talk with MSD about what else Council can do for low income earners (identify funding gaps); 3. Support Mental Health, Drug & Alcohol Addiction, and abuse support services to help people get back on their feet; 4. Work with the Government on its Kiwibuild/alternative homeownership schemes in the Hauraki District; 5. Attract and upskill our volunteer base e.g. through workshops. Particularly for organisations that help reduce deprivation in some way; 6. Support/find internet training programmes for our elderly residents to help build confidence and encourage the use of internet at home; 7. Look for additional source of funding to supplement EECA’s 90% grants for insulation, heat pumps/efficient wood or pellet burners; 8. Plant more trees.
4 CURRENT PROJECTS AND ACTIONS
Since the last Manaaki Toiora meeting dated 27 April 2021, where a verbal update was provided on Advocacy action thus far, further progress has been made on some of these projects and actions as outlined below: Project work o Items 1, 2 and 3 (from the proposed actions above), continuing research to inform a report, further defining the current district circumstances to assist with future project decisions. Due June 2021.
o Items 4, and 5 are being researched as part of a wider Hauraki District Stocktake to inform direction, targeting a June/July delivery. Relationship Building Contact and introductions have been made within the Waikato Region Housing Initiative work group. Ongoing relationship building as part of BAU.
Whaarangi 2 | 3 M 2926606 MTC Agenda - 25-05-21 Page 17
Funding Tourism Infrastructure Fund: The Hon Stuart Nash – Minister of Tourism released a support, recovery and re-set plan for tourism communities (The Tourism Communities Plan) and item 11 on that plan included a new round of the Tourism Infrastructure fund. Information on dates and criteria is yet to be released. 11. Local councils can apply to another round of the Tourism Infrastructure Fund, with $16.5 million of new investment. Many councils with small rating bases use the fund to help develop tourism assets like carparks, toilet blocks, waste disposal facilities, and cycle paths.
Provincial Development Fund and Unit, it has been flagged that a regional approach utilising all of government is to come for funding applications. A new name for the group has also been indicated. Awaiting further details. Staff are in communication with the Provincial Development Team. Exploratory work is being initiated on other funding directions from Government, which includes but is not limited to the Ministry of Primary Industries, and the Housing Acceleration Fund.

1 PURPOSE | TE ARONGA
The purpose of this report is to provide the Manaaki Toiora Committee with an update on the activities of the related to the Community Growth activity.
2 BACKGROUND | TE KŌRERO Ā MUA
Council undertakes a range of activities to assist with community growth and development in the Hauraki District and has the Manaaki Toiora Committee, which amongst other things, meets to provide direction for projects and activities relating to community growth in the district.
3 PROJECTS AND ACTIONS
Since the last Manaaki Toiora meeting in April 2021 there have been projects and actions taking place. This report will highlight the key ones.
LoveHauraki Page likes have increased from 1042 to 1095 (5%) since the last report. It is really encouraging to see the number of likes continuously increasing. There have been 10 new posts with the profile about the Whiritoa General Store and Café attracting the highest level engagement and an organic (non-paid) reach of 6,400 people. District promotional video The new promotional video for the Hauraki District is in its final stages. It highlights the district as a great place to live and do business. This will be shared with the Committee once completed. Business Development Council is continuing to work with multiple developers in the district and support businesses who are considering a move here, providing them with data and contacts to help them in their decision-making. The Longridge Project Team met on 4 May 2021 which is a regular monthly meeting between council staff and the Longridge team to keep conversations happening. Te Waka We are working with Te Waka to bring two free workshops from the initiative Digital Boost to the district, one in Ngatea and one in Waihi on 20 May. Topics that will be covered include: How to use digital tools in your business to remove manual working hours and free up your time How to market to your ideal customer using Facebook, Instagram, Google and Youtube How to increase customers through your website and learn how to build one yourself Q&A with a local business owner who has implemented digital tools How to sign up for the free online Digital Boost platform We, together with the town promotions organisations, are helping to support this workshop rather than run our own Business Bites event this month. Regional Cycle Trails Network The Regional Cycle Trails Network met for the first time since October 2020 on 6 May. Waikato Regional Council are currently in the process of employing a contractor to support this group and want to see it continue. Indications are that this will remain a networking group to share ideas and collaborate on cycle projects.

Tourism Funding The Government has announced a $200 million fund - Tourism Communities: Support, Recovery and Re-set Plan to be rolled out between now and 2023. The four target areas are: Five South Island tourist communities targeted for specialist support Pressure on Māori tourism operators and Conservation facilities recognised Domestic and international-facing tourism agencies put on more secure footing Long-term plan to re-set tourism with a focus on sustainability, industry standards and regional economic diversification Half of the key points in the Plan will focus on supporting the most vulnerable South Island regions. The other areas of the Plan are relevant for the rest of the country. They include areas we as Council need to be aware of and prepare for: 1. Regional Tourism Organisations will receive a new round of annual grant funding of $26 million to manage, plan, promote and market tourism activities in their regions. 2. Support for Inbound Tourism Operators – existing loans will be converted to grants. 3. Māori tourism business support managed by New Zealand Māori Tourism. 4. The Department of Conservation will extend the fee waiver for around 1,000 operators on public conservation land who pay a tourism concession fee. 5. Local councils can apply to another round of the Tourism Infrastructure Fund, with $16.5 million of new investment. 6. A new Tourism Industry Transformation Plan (ITP) will see the government work in partnership with tourism businesses and the tourism workforce, councils, iwi, researchers and independent advisers. Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre Work has started on the feasibility study for the Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre. Cr Harris, Cr Buckthought and I met with the consults developing the feasibility study out at the Shorebird Centre on 11 May to discuss our thoughts on the future development of the site to become a hero attraction for the region. Regenerative Tourism The last session of the ‘Back to Life’ regenerative tourism programme took place on 13 May. There is a desire from the participants from the Coromandel to keep working together to continue the regenerative discussion and be local advocates for this way of thinking. Some thoughts and inspirations from the course include: Using nature as a guide for how we do things; this is not just relevant for tourism. What is the point of GDP growth if communities are not thriving as a result? A living tourism system cannot thrive forever by extracting value, only by building the capability of all its participants to thrive and evolve. It is only in Places that people call ‘home’, that diverse inhabitants can come together around a shared purpose as comm(with)–unity and deploy their diverse talents and perspectives, their capacity for connection and belonging, their desire to make a contribution, and assume responsibility for taking care of it and nourishing its capacity to flourish and evolve. When they do, when they become truly indigenous (of this place) and feel a kinship with it, they are both motivated and guided to act with the respect and reverence that will nourish its capacity to thrive (Pollock & Holliday, 2021).
Whaarangi 3 | 4 M 2901720 MTC Agenda - 25-05-21 Page 21
The core-value generating aspect of tourism stems from a positively memorable encounter between a guest and host that benefits both parties, helping each feel more alive (transformed) as a result (Pollock & Holliday, 2021). This blog post from Michelle Holliday, one of the leaders of the programme, discusses tourism and community wellbeing https://michelleholliday.com/tourism-hosting-the- practice-of-community-wellbeing/.

The Mayor has received a request from the Director of NZ Express Travel based in Auckland New Zealand (-who is working with Pinggu District China) to set up one or more educational sessions with any Hauraki growers to learn about Hauraki planting/growing tips, technology and innovation. This request follows on from a visit to the Acting Mayor of Pinggu District People’s Government of Beijing Municipality in August 2019 by previous Mayor Tregidga where, among other subjects, discussions on modern horticulture and education was discussed. It was proposed that once the COVID-19 pandemic is over a training scheme based around horticulture could be established between the two districts. The Mayor would like to discuss this opportunity with the committee to gauge how much involvement Council should have with the Pinggu District.

Hauraki District Council successfully applied for $250,000 to help drive local employment opportunities, particularly for young people and those out of work due to COVID-19. Job seeker benefit numbers have risen from 340 in Nov 2019 to 594 in Dec 2020, peaking at 613 in September 2020.
The Mayors Taskforce for Jobs is a community employment recovery programme developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) is working closely with an appointed community employment liaison officer to ensure Council’s programme compliments the work they’re doing. A Community Employment Liaison programme is enhanced by extra funding for incentives toward work ready training, job placements and pastoral care.

The Hauraki Rail Trail Charitable Trust Six Monthly Report January 2021
The Hauraki Rail Trail Charitable Trust is reporting on activity undertaken between 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2021.
Surface Replacement: The most important issue the Trust is facing is the deterioration of the trail surface. With the trail approaching is end of life expectancy of ten years, consideration to the funding mechanisms required to resurface the trail is required from all parties. Many parts of the Trail are starting to fail. Action is crucial to ensure the continuation of the trail at a Great Ride standard.
The estimates below are based on a chip-seal solution on the majority of the train embankments similar to the surface on the TAMM (38kms) and the Waitakaruru to Pūkorokoro-Miranda (8kms) sections. The Trust is confident that it could gain support from MBIE to support this project.
Audit FY2020 We are pleased to advise that in December 2020, Audit NZ again gave a clean bill of health. Two recommendations were made to the Trust, both of which have been actioned:
1. Renewal of Exemption Notices due (actioned by Settlor Councils in FY2021) 2. Review of Payroll Process to ensure pay increases take effect on the correct date.
Trail Extensions COVID19 gave rise to some delays in the extensions to the trail from Te Aroha to Matamata (TAMM) and from Kaiaua to Pūkorokoro Miranda (P2K), largely due to supply issues. We were pleased however, to be able to officially open the TAMM section in November 2020, with strong support from iwi and all three Settlor Councils. The Trust appreciates the ongoing support.
As at 31 December 2020 74.8 per cent of the total project costs had been expended, with $818.069 available to draw down from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). This is broken down to 89 per cent of expenditure completed for the TAMM section and 24.5 per cent of the expenditure completed for the P2K. An ongoing issue with sea inundation at Rays Rest has delayed the opening of the P2K section. The P2K section has also been subject to delays in infrastructure supply. This is being resolved by the team at Hauraki District Council.
COVID-19 The Trail has remained open at Level One Protocols since 1 July 2020. The expected fluctuations in visitor numbers due to Auckland moving to Level 3 did not eventuate. Overall numbers continue to grow on the back of a strong domestic market. Average spend for domestic is also up from $171 per visitor $242.501.

Financials FY2020 financials are running to budget. The deficit is directly due to commitments to an annual expense (i.e. car lease, social media support etc) that is invoiced once but paid monthly.
Trust generated income of $271,378 is based on the Official Partner Programme, Grant applications and other donation sources such as GiveALittle. All expenses are tracking to budget, with an expected End of Year position of -7,107 expected.
Staff Increase The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has supported all Great Rides in New Zealand to increase their capacity in administration for a three-year period. The recruitment of the Business Support Administrator has resulted in increased capacity to service and grow the Official Partner Programme. The BSM has increased Official partners by 50 per cent.
The role is currently funded by MBIE until FY2022, and it is hopeful that the funding mechanism will continue beyond this time. The role has proved invaluable in de-risking the operational management of the Trail when the CEO is absent.

Fundraising The major focus on Fundraising in this half year has been around consolidating existing projects. Two major impacts on planned projects were evident:
1. MBIE has moved to a single application process per annum for Managing the Great Ride (MGR) Funding. This now occurs in August each year. 2. Trust Waikato Funding of circa $928,000 was deferred due to a COVID19 lens being applied. We have been asked to reapply in FY2021.

Trust Waikato: The application to Trust Waikato will be resubmitted in FY2021 after dialogue with Trust Waikato CEO Dennis Turton. The intention is to leverage any funding raised from this source with investment from central government to further enhance the trail. The main focus of the application is around landscaping, seating and story-telling.
Asset Management Plan: The three settlor councils of Hauraki, Thames-Coromandel and Matamata-Piako commissioned an Asset Management Plan to be developed for the Trail. This plan is nearing completion.
