Recommendation to Committee

5.1 THAT the information is noted.

Bryan Nicholson, Chief Operating Officer, reports:

Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide the Council with an update on the District Library, Whanganui Regional Museum, Sarjeant Gallery, New Zealand Glassworks, Corporate, Building, and Compliance, which form part of the Operations Group, for the period 1 July 2018 to 31 October 2018.

Progress Update District Library The first suburban self-service library will open in Whanganui East on 23 January 2019, in partnership with the Whanganui Advocacy and Support Trust (WAST) community centre.

• The new Hakeke Street Library will be situated at 65 Hakeke Street, in part of the former New Zealand Railways complex that also houses the Love and Learn Care and Education. There will be a collection of around 2,000 adult and children’s fiction and non-fiction books, with a focus on the most popular titles and free wifi internet access will be available.

• The library will be self-service, but WAST staff will be able to provide basic assistance for library members during opening hours (9:00am – 1:00pm weekdays, except Wednesdays).

• Visitors to the Hakeke Street Library will be able to check books out and back in and pay any overdue charges by eftpos at the self-service machine. A touchscreen personal comuputer will enable them to log in to their library accounts, search for and reserve books (which can be delivered for pick up at Hakeke Street) and to join the library if they aren’t already a member.

• The Hakeke Street Library will be serviced by the mobile library, with the collection being regularly refreshed and updated.

The new fee structure came into effect on 10 September 2018 with the removal of the charges for adult fiction books and for reserves. It will be some months before the impact

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 6

on customer borrowing patterns becomes clear but early indications are promising in terms of increased fiction issues.

The lease on Gonville Library was renewed for a further term and the library shelving was refurbished as part of an ongoing programme leading up to the tenth anniversary of the Library in August next year.

Whanganui Regional Museum With the reopening of the Whanganui Regional Museum’s Watt Street buildings drawing near, the reinstallation process has come to dominate the organisation’s work. Following a site visit by representatives of the Whanganui District Council in August 2018, a reopening target was set for Anniversary Weekend 2019. Planning is now under way for the opening event, with some scheduling details still to be resolved to fit in with the availability of key invitees.

A progress report on the Whakahoutanga Project is attached. (Ref A2)

As the end of the school year approaches and the demands on staff for assistance at Watt Street increases, the decision has been taken to close the temporary site on Ridgway Street at the beginning of December 2018. After a highly successful tenure in the Central Business District the Museum will be completely focused on the completion of the Queen’s Park heritage buildings for its reopening.

Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua Whanganui

The period 1 July 2018 – 31 October 2018 saw visitorship of 12,478. This comprised: • International visitors: 399 • National visitors: 1409 • Local visitors: 3780 • i-SITE Gallery visitors: 3088 • Website: 3802

Brief highlights for this period include:

• Exhibitions: The gallery produced three new exhibitions during this period and hosted one touring artist project by local artist and former Tylee artist-in-residence Glen Hayward. The Winter season of exhibitions included four that were mentioned in the last report and the Spring season saw a suite of four new exhibitions opening. Curated by Jennifer Taylor Moore, Curator of Collections – Edith Collier: Ahead of her time features portraits of women by the well-known Whanganui artist and is a companion exhibition to the large collection based show 125: Celebrating women from the collection. Both of these shows are in celebration of the 125th anniversary

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 7

of women’s suffrage in New Zealand with the latter exhibition featuring a broad spectrum of over fifty works all of which are portraits of women in a range of media – including paintings, photographs, prints, drawings and ceramics. The exhibition was curated by the three members of the curatorial team, Greg Donson, Jennifer Taylor Moore and Jessica Kidd. The popular exhibition Creature at the Sarjeant’s object- based gallery ended in mid-July and has been replaced by a group exhibition called In the Hand, curated by Jessica Kidd, featured are works by a range of artists made on an intimate scale and the show includes ceramics, jewellery and mixed media. In the project gallery at Sarjeant on the Quay is Dendrochronology by Glen Hayward, former artist-in-residence at Tylee Cottage. The work is a full scale replica of an abandoned Toyota Corolla that the artist remembers from his childhood growing up in Whanganui. The work is made entirely from wood and is proving to be very popular with gallery visitors.

• On Tour: The exhibition Common Ground of beautiful glass works by Wendy Fairclough opened at the Suter Art Gallery in Nelson on 6 October 2018 and will be on view until 9 December 2018. Greg Donson, Curator & Public Programmes Manager, oversaw the installation of the exhibition in Nelson and gave a talk that was well attended. The exhibition has been well-received so far and we are still negotiating with other potential venues to include the exhibition in their future programmes. Cat Auburn’s award winning post-residency exhibition ‘The Horses Stayed Behind’ is currently on view at Tauranga Art Gallery until early December 2018. To date that exhibition has been seen by more than 58,000 people at both the Waikato Museum and also the Suter Art Gallery.

• Tylee residency: Four artists have been confirmed for the residency programme, they are Julia Holden, a Christchurch-based painter; Annie Mackenzie, who will be the first weaver we have had on the residency and these two five month residencies will be followed by two photographers – Marie Shannon and Jae Hoon Lee who will each be in residence for three months.

• In addition to the exhibitions, the Gallery hosted 25 public, private and outreach events, at 38 Taupo Quay, the i-SITE Gallery and beyond. The opening of the Spring season of exhibitions included delegates from central Government’s Ministry for Women.

• The Gallery communications in support of its programmes and events and the Redevelopment remains strong, with 11 columns running in the Chronicle with advertising occurring in local press including the Chronicle, Midweek, Rivercity Press and AWA and nationally in North & South, Art News, Art Zone, Capital and Art New Zealand. The website continues to be updated regularly and social media engagement is increasing, for Facebook we have 1,847 likes on our page and 1,832 people following us and we now have 900 twitter followers.

• Collections: 2,578 items in the Sarjeant Gallery Collection have been catalogued to best practice standards which is 164 more than the previous report and over target by 78. The exhibitions Edith Collier: Ahead of her time and 125: Celebrating Women from the Collection are both comprised of items solely from the collection and a

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 8

number of collection works featured in the In the Hand exhibition; in total 71 collection works are currently on display with the collection on line being regularly updated to reflect this. Since the last report we have responded to 25 enquiries about the collection.

• Interviews for a new Gallery Photographer have taken place and a decision is pending on the successful applicant.

New Zealand Glassworks (NZG)

Brief highlights for the period 1 July 2018 to 31 October 2018 include:

• NZG’s latest exhibition – Collective Imagination (6 August – 31 October 2018) has been on display at NZG, highlighting new works to the gallery and showcasing eight leading glass artists from Whanganui and Nationally. The exhibition has been very well received with three major works and one smaller piece selling (totalling over $22,000 in sales), and over 6,200 people viewing the exhibition. The exhibition has been extended by one week to accommodate the visit of a large collector group from Auckland.

• UCOL started a new semester in August. Eight students will use the facility from 9am – 1pm every Wednesday until the end of November 2018.

• The NZG Manager has commenced talks with UCOL to see how the two facilities can provide further programmes and support for students involved with glass. This will continue to be developed over the next six months.

• The first UCOL internship started at NZG in September. The student will assist, every Tuesday afternoon for the next three – six months, in the making and development of NZG's production line. In addition to the internship, both Katie Brown and Philip Stokes have volunteered to be mentors to students, providing opportunities for students to work with professional industry based artists.

• NZG will host the UCOL glass students’ end of year exhibition in late November 2018.

• Jacqueline (Jackie) Wilkie accepted the new position of Gallery Assistant at NZG commencing in August 2018 She comes with a wide knowledge of NZ art and a long history in customer service working within council facilities; and is a great addition to the NZG team.

• NZG hosted the Governor-General, Her Excellency, The Rt. Hon. Dame Patsy Reddy and Sir David Gascoigne in August. This included a gallery tour and a paperweight workshop (a two-hour visit). Dame Patsy purchased two pieces from the current exhibition. Dame Pasty said they were both fascinated to learn the techniques and skill involved in making glass art and were delighted to have created their own paperweights. The following evening Dame Patsy gave a special mention regarding

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 9

NZG at a community event saying it is clear to see that the Glassworks is highly valued in the community as an enjoyable and inclusive experience and wished continued success for the future.

• NZG celebrated its 2nd birthday on 29 September 2018 with the annual birthday design competition. Local glass artists Katie Brown, Philip Stokes and UCOL students past and present joined forces to make two wonderful pieces of art glass designed by local residents to keep. It was a fun, creative celebration for the whole community.

Corporate

International Relations

As reported to Council at the 13 November 2018 meeting, an official Mayoral delegation from Nagaizumi will be visiting Whanganui on 26 – 30 January 2019. Planning has commenced on an itinerary for their visit and is likely to include:

• A visit to Bushy Park. • Formal opening of the Nagaizumi Room. • A visit to the New Zealand International Commercial Flight Academy and scenic flights up to Mt Ruapehu. • Industry tours. • Rotary meeting. • Tea ceremony at Tea House – Bason Botanic Gardens. • Cruise on the Whanganui River. • NZ Glassworks visit. • Farm visit and Farewell BBQ.

In addition to the official visit, a group of approximately 30 Nagaizumi delegates are travelling to Whanganui in February 2019 for the Downer New Zealand Masters Games. A large group are playing Golf outside of the Masters Games, however we are in the process of facilitating a tournament with local players at the Belmont Golf Club.

A drumming group from Nagaizumi will also be featuring alongside the opening ceremony playing traditional Japanese Taiko Drums. It is hoped there will be additional opportunities for a drum performance throughout the time they are here. In addition to the official festivities of the Masters Games there are also plans to have a Council welcome for the Nagaizumi participants, to acknowledge the sister-city connection.

In addition to the activities planned with Nagaizumi, Mayor McDouall is hoping to visit Whanganui’s other sister city, Toowoomba in 2019. Recently, Marianne Cavanagh had the opportunity to visit Toowoomba and met with Mayor Paul Antonio. Discussions centred on further opportunities to strengthen the long standing relationship between the two cities including sporting tournaments, tourism packages around cultural and iconic events, and

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 10

to explore possibilities with flight training, due to a recent announcement of a Qantas Flight School being established at Toowoomba’s airport.

Correspondence continues with Lijiang, China about formalising a relationship. It is expected that an item will come to the 11 December 2018 Council meeting to outline the next steps with regards to this relationship.

Building The realignment of the last restructure within the Compliance & Building Teams (Regulatory) has seen a significant shift in team focus. A culture of empowerment and ownership has transcended through to staff at all levels and the engagement and contribution of staff to ensure this succeeds has been exemplary. The teams have clear direction from senior management down through to team leads and staff are responding well to this structure. Dedicated staff undertaking roles with clear and concise direction and coupled with efficiencies gained through utilising more online services places teams within the Regulatory space in an excellent position to meet current and future demands effectively and efficiently.

Building Control Team • Digital technology is transforming the way New Zealanders do business and the services provided by local government need to keep pace with these changes. The online building consent process continues to prove to be a hugely beneficial asset to the organisation with all consenting functions (building consent and Code Compliance Certificate (CCC) applications) now fully online. Staff have continued to assist customers within the in-house kiosk and also undertake visits to business houses to assist in the uptake and understanding of the online processes. The feedback from this approach has been very positive.

• The GoBuild online inspection booking portal is also delivering encouraging results and with the ability for a customer to now also track the progress of their application live through our backend system this offers total transparency and engagement within the digital building consent package. This is an outstanding achievement and has only been achieved with a high degree of collaboration and engagement between council departments and this should be applauded. This latest milestone achieves the dream of having the whole building consent process from beginning to end wholly within in a digital environment.

• The Simpli (previously GoShift) Building Consent Authority (BCA) Quality Management System has been integrated into the BCA’s Quality System with further in-house modifications required before it becomes operational. The final integration of this system will take place in early 2019.

• The continuation of extremely high volumes of construction work within the built sector in our District (and region) does not seem to be slowing down. The National Construction Pipeline Report 2018 is forecasting that the regions will continue to thrive for the very near future. The BCA has a resourcing strategy in place which is targeted to meeting these high demands and contributing to a continued level of service to the sector and thus far the team is meeting these demands, however this

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 11

is closely monitored on a regular basis with direct contact with the sector. The relationship between the organisation and the building sector continues to prosper from this type of personal engagement.

• Continued development and staff training continues to be factored into workloads and when available staff are attending technical courses both within and outside of the region. The implementation of the Cadet Building Control Officer positions is progressing well with the program allowing for easy access and updating of relevant competency milestones.

Of the 331 building consents issued during the reporting period, 0 went over the statutory 20 days. The trend is again showing an excellent level of compliance especially taking into account levels of activity and a strain on resourcing with annual leave/training commitments.

For the reporting period we received 312 building consent applications and received 233 replies to further information requests.

There were 346 consents processed for the period with 51% requiring Request For Information (RFI’s), which totalled 1,152 questions.

There were 41 new dwelling consents issued for the reporting period.

There were 1,410 inspections carried out with only 58.5% passing. This required a further 585 recheck inspections which need to be allowed for within inspection timeframes.

Compliance with statutory 20 day requirements for building consent applications reached 100% for the reporting period. This is an excellent effort considering the amount of

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 12

consents coming through which also includes a significant number of re-assessments for applications which required further information.

There were 240 CCC applications for the reporting period issued and 0 applications exceeding the statutory 20 days.

Compliance Team • Following the realignment in reporting structure, there has been improved communication and collaboration within the Compliance Team. Staff training and development was a focus for us this period with most staff completing either investigations or role specific courses which is attributing to improved productivity.

• Service request totals for the period 1 July to 31 October are up slightly from the same period last year however this is due to increased registration information requests. Attack, rushing, ill-treatment, wandering, and barking complaints have all shown decreases.

• The total number of active dogs in Whanganui continues to rise each year to a total of 7,791 as at 31 October 2018. Of those, we currently have 93% registered being an improvement on the previous years.

• The Team completed ‘sightings’ of 748 unregistered dogs during this period and those that remain unregistered will receive an infringement in November.

• We continue to see a decrease in impounded dogs from both Whanganui and Rangitikei.

• A Facebook page ‘Whanganui adopt a dog’ has been created to assist in reuniting and rehoming dogs which has assisted with a decrease in euthanising costs to Council.

• Two prosecutions were resolved in the District Court during this period. Both for dog attacks.

• An Animal Management Officer – Education position has been developed with interviews in November. The likely start date is January 2019 and will assist the team in shifting to a prevention and education based Animal Management service.

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 17

Parking

• Staff sickness contributed to a reduction in Officer presence and productivity for October 2018.

Summary: • Two infringements have been contested during this period and await Hearings.

• A three-month introduction of phone app ParkMate commenced on 1 November 2018. ParkMate offers a modern, alternative method for paying for parking which

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 18

eliminates the traditional pain points. The app is free to download from either the App Store for iPhones, or from the Google Play Store for Android devices.

Users simply register with their email address, mobile number and a password of their choice. A vehicle registration number is added and stored to use for each parking session and allows enforcement officers to see valid parking rights for the vehicle. A valid credit or debit card is then registered to make payments.

All the car parks available to ParkMate users (New Zealand wide) are visible either on the map view or list view and can be selected as such. On completion of every parking session a GST receipt is automatically emailed to the registered email address. Each transaction has a transaction fee of 30 cents which covers the costs associated with processing electronic credit card payments.

At the conclusion of the introduction, a decision will be made whether to introduce it to all metered areas in Whanganui or to incorporate an alternative solution in conjunction with the meter upgrade planned for 2019/20.

• Action 2.6 of the Parking Management Plan 2017 – A review of the Gold Card Parking scheme, was completed during this period, which highlighted areas requiring attention. Main finds were that the register used since conception of the scheme was out of date and full of inaccurate information. The current cards were being issued without expiry which meant the database was full of cards that were no longer required. This also enabled family members or friends to continue to use the card after the card holder passed away or no longer required it. The system had no control over the users of such cards and therefore two key changes were introduced:

o The introduction of a new card with a five year expiry to ensure cards and users remain current.

o A full database cleanse to ensure accurate information is maintained. All existing card holders have been sent a letter requesting they reapply for a new card. Unfortunately this did mean a number of letters were inadvertently sent to deceased however this was considered necessary to complete both of the changes listed above.

• 2018 is within the three yearly cycle for most Club Licence renewals which contributed to a higher result for alcohol licences this period.

Summary: • As a result of the new Fire and Emergency Act 2017, Smoky Fires are now dealt with through Horizons Regional Council.

• A Quality Management System has been developed pursuant to The Food Act 2014 which will allow WDC to continue to be a recognised agency for food verification of National Programme registrations. Audit timelines and costs are yet to be finalised by Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) which is causing strain on Annual Plan preparation. An estimated audit cost of $15,000 has been budgeted for 2019/20.

Arts Advisor As of 12 October 2018, the Arts Advisor now reports to Director Sarjeant Gallery, and is based at the Sarjeant Gallery at 38 Taupō Quay.

Activity Highlights for period 1 July 2018 – 31 October 2018:

• The Draft Arts and Culture Strategic Plan was sent to external consultant, Maree Mills (previously Principal Strategy Analyst for Auckland Council during the development of their Arts and Culture Strategic Plan) for review and refinement on recommendation of Creative New Zealand. This was to ensure the document produced, following community engagement, was in line with best practice nationally and internationally. This has been returned and the document will be presented at the Strategy and Finance meeting on 5 December 2018.

• Public Art Fund 2017/2018 Round 1 saw $25,000 of match funding awarded to Progress Castlecliff, for a sculpture to be located at the beach end of Rangiora Street. This will be installed in early 2019, and involves multiple artists, Emmetts Construction, Downer, and Council officers.

• A full, publicly available inventory of Whanganui District Council’s public art collection has been prepared, and all works have been condition reported. This work was undertaken by Public Art Intern Erin Jellyman over June and July, and the results can be seen at https://ehive.com/collections/4446/whanganui-district-council- public-art-and-memorials

• Two further sponsors have been secured for the Council Chamber Stained Glass Windows. The new windows will be produced over the next six months.

Community Relationships: • During this period, funding support was provided towards the 24 Hour Art Jam, a day-and-night art marathon event involving 14 artists and more than 200 visitors. Council funding contributed towards security, equipment and marketing. This event was the first of its kind in New Zealand, and resulted in a fundraising auction of works made where over $3,000 was raised for Women’s Network Whanganui.

• Funding was also provided to support venue hire for an exhibition space for the Ngā Hekenga Migration Stories project, a communty waka-crafting project that involved over 800 families creating waka to foster language development and represent their family journeys to Whanganui.

• The Emerging Practitioner in Clay Award, a $10,000 national prize for early-career ceramic artists presented by the Rick Rudd Foundation at QUARTZ, Museum of Studio Ceramics, was announced in September 2018 by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Funding was provided towards catalogue printing costs, and the announcement video with the Prime Minister was arranged by the Arts Advisor.

• The Arts Advisor is working closely with the Town Centre Regeneration Project Manager on multiple creative public projects, the outcomes of which will become visible in the Town Centre over the next five months.

6. Savage Club Hall – Conservation Plan Support and Funding Presentation

Significance of decision – In terms of the Significance and Engagement Policy 2018, the recommended decision is not significant.

Recommendations to Committee

6.1 THAT the presenters are thanked.

6.2 THAT a letter of support is forthcoming as needed.

6.3 THAT the information is noted and referred to the Annual Plan 2019-2020 process to consider Whanganui District Council’s financial support for the Conservation Plan.

Leighton Toy, General Manager – Property, reports:

Executive Summary

The Savage Club is located at 55-65 Drews Avenue and forms part of Pukenamu Queens Park for which Heritage New Zealand Category 1 Status is being sought over the entire site.

It was built in 1893 and is largely unchanged. It originally housed the Wanganui Public Museum and in 1931 became the Savage Club hall. Interior features are still recognisable from its time as the Museum. For the full history of the site, refer to the attached Whanganui District Heritage Inventory No: 284. (Ref B1)

The Savage Club relinquished its management of the hall two years ago and The Musicians Club are actively using and managing the site.

The building is owned by The Musicians Club who purchased it in October 2016 from the Savage Club. They are subject to a community organisation ground lease by which they receive the highest rental subsidy making the ground rental $1,575 pa.

The Club has identified major works that need to be done to the building in order to preserve it, and has consulted Architect Bruce Dickson for advice. A Conservation Plan has been suggested which will form the basis for developing the full scope of works. This is an appropriate approach to take based on the historical significance of this building and its location on Pukenamu Queens Park.

The Club requests that the Council consider supporting its funding efforts with a letter of support and an initial sum to go toward the Conservation Plan to demonstrate that support, and in acknowledgement of Council’s oversight and interest in the site as a whole. (Ref B2)

Whanganui District Council

The Whanganui Musicians Club Inc would like to put an application in for funding assistance for the club to be included in next year’s annual plan.

The Musicians is club is coming up for its tenth year, in which time we have run monthly club night concerts and have managed the Savage Club Hall as a concert venue, and for use by various other community groups.

We have a membership of around 150 and have built up about $20,000 worth of sound equipment. A strategic planning workshop in 2017 decided that “it was all about the music.”

Originally some of our members joined the Savage Club to help with the maintenance of the hall, in the process learning how it worked, and something of its history. When the Savage Club finally wound up (after 100 years) the Musicians Club bought the hall from the Savages for one dollar and negotiated a three by three year lease for the site from the WDC. The Savages had originally bought the hall from the WDC for one dollar when Michael Laws was the mayor.

When we took over the hall in October 2016 we had $10,000 in the bank - now we have $5000. Most of our money is going on the rates and lease to the WDC, utilities and building maintenance. We pay for fire alarm monitoring and manage the annual building warrant of fitness and with the help of the Four Regions Trust (Powerco) we are in the process of rewiring the hall. Although the halls are very old everything works.

We have a forty-point wishlist for building renovation and have we have nominated accessibility and a toilet upgrade as a priority, starting fundraising with a concert and venue hire for weddings and birthday parties etc. Looking further out, full heritage renovation of this building will require an assessment and schedule of works by a conservation architect to qualify for internal affairs lottery funding. Council assistance would be helpful at this point.

Yours sincerely Fred Frederikse (co-chair Whanganui Musicians Club Inc) 37

7. Sport Whanganui – State of Play Report

Significance of decision – In terms of the Significance and Engagement Policy 2018, the recommended decision is not significant.

Recommendation to Committee

7.1 THAT the Sport Whanganui State of Play report is received.

Leighton Toy, General Manager, Property reports:

Executive summary Jodie Brunger, Community Sport Manager, and Adam Gosney, General Manager of Sport Whanganui, will present the initial State of Play report to the Property and Community Services Committee. Representatives from Hutt City Council’s Healthy Families Team will also present their local findings and how this relates to the Whanganui Play Scan. (Ref C1)

On behalf of the community, Sport Whanganui has established a signed Memorandum of Understanding with Sport New Zealand to research, design and implement a Whanganui Play Plan. Whanganui is one of a number of other organisations that have partnered with Sport New Zealand to complete this national play scan. This research and insights project will inform the planning and consultation process to develop a local Play Plan in partnership with Council.

Stages of the plan include a local Play Scan and from these insights, confirmation of partners required and priorities have emerged and are included in our local draft plan. Ultimately our findings and those from other regions will be combined to create a national play scan that will inform national led initiatives and plans related to play outcomes. Hutt City Council representatives will provide some insights into how this is developing in other regions.

The Sport Whanganui survey received 194 responses and the results have been collated to inform future actions required to develop a draft Whanganui Play Plan. (Refs C2-C3)

In addition to the survey Sport Whanganui engaged with the Council Parks and Policy teams to share the results and to discuss prospective partners, actions and resourcing.

The purpose of the Play Plan is to influence and provide concise information for decisions on community development. It will also guide how Sport Whanganui and Council can work together to create spaces and places, opportunities and experiences that enhance play as outlined in the Sport NZ Play principals.

Key information As we know times have changed and it appears young people are preoccupied with Information Technology and gaming at the expense of unstructured play which is leading

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 38

to kids missing out on the key learnings that unstructured play provides (i.e. risk taking, negotiation, interpersonal and physical capability).

The Whanganui Play Scan provides a snapshot of the current state of play locally and challenges us as a community to mitigate barriers to access, and improve motivation and connection within our communities. The future objective is to create a local Play Plan to ensure people have the time, space and opportunity to enjoy, understand, value and engage in unstructured play.

Play in New Zealand is under threat

Children need time, space and permission to play. However, many Kiwi kids aren’t having the same playful upbringing enjoyed by previous generations. As with many nations, there are a number of reasons for this, including:

Time: young people’s lives are increasingly structured, reducing the free time in which to play.

Space: changes to both the built and natural environments have changed access to traditional play spaces (for example, streets and driveways are no longer considered play spaces).

Health and safety: parental and societal perceptions of young people’s safety have changed when and where children can play.

Societal changes: a need for instant satisfaction is challenging the journey of discovery learning through play.

Technology: increases in screen time and the ability to live life in a ‘virtual world’ are removing young people from real life cause and effect.

Adult awareness: parents lack understanding of their role in play as enablers – quality play experience involves limited adult input. 41 Sport NZ’s principles of Play Like other parts of the sport and active recreation, government and private sectors, Sport NZ has a role in making sure that opportunities for our kids to play are preserved, enhanced and relevant to the world we live in today. We have developed the following set of play principles to help guide our work in partnering and collaborating with others interested in play, and to advocate on the importance of play for young New Zealanders.

Play is important to the wellbeing of young New Zealanders 1 • It is vital in ensuring young people have the best possible start in life and develop a lifelong love of community sport and being physically active.

Play is a cornerstone of our Physical Literacy Approach 2 • Play is a crucial part of physical, cognitive, social/emotional and spiritual development for young people.

Play is the shared responsibility of everyone 3 • It needs clear and strong leadership from those who can enable play. This includes the views and opinions of young people. • It is equally important in the settings of home, school and community.

Young people must have access to enriched and varied playful 4 experiences within their local environments • A variety of play types • As an individual and with others • Space and place – man-made and natural • Sensory rich • A sense of an escape from realism • Physical movement

Adults must understand what their role is in enabling play 5 • Quality play experience involves limited adult input.

Young people need the opportunity to experience risk and challenge through play 6 • The provision of opportunities for all children to encounter or create uncertainty, unpredictability and potential risks (including physical, cognitive, social/emotional and spiritual) as part of their play. • We do not mean putting children in danger of serious harm. 7 Wherever possible, play should include the opportunity to be active. 42 Play – the foundation of physical literacy

Play is at the heart of Sport NZ’s Physical Literacy Approach, and is an integral part of our Community Sport Strategy and Young People Plan. Each person has their own level of motivation, confidence, physical competence, and knowledge and understanding that affects how they value and choose to be physically active. We call this physical literacy. A person’s physical literacy evolves throughout their life. For young people who are building and developing their physical literacy, quality play experiences that meet their holistic needs are vital.

8. Annual Performance Report (2017/18) – Whanganui Resource Recovery Centre

Significance of decision – In terms of the Significance and Engagement Policy 2018, the Srecommended decision is not significant. t Recommendation to Council

8.1 THAT the Whanganui Resource Recovery Centre’s 2017/18 performance report is received.

Stuart Hylton, Waste Advisor, reports:

Executive summary The purpose of this report is to inform Council of the performance of the Whanganui Resource Recovery Centre (WRRC) for the 2917/18 financial year.

The WRRC’s Manager, Ramari Te Uamairangi, and the WRRC Trust’s Chairman, Ken Mair, will present the Annual Performance Report to the Committee.

Key information WRRC Background The WRRC was established in August 2013 and is situated at 83-87 Maria Place next to the Wanganui Fire Station. The WRRC builds on and supersedes the Peat Street Recycling Drop-Off Centre as Wanganui’s flagship in offering a wider range of waste minimisation services and products. Conceptually the centre is designed to become the environmental hub for Whanganui, building on current waste minimisation efforts with increased product, infrastructure, education and partnerships.

The WRRC concept was born from discussions between Sustainable Whanganui and Council and resulted in the commissioning of a feasibility study and business plan by Council’s Waste and Environment Working Party. Further partnership discussions ensued with Iwi O Tupoho that included a trip to Kaitaia Resource Recovery Centre to view their successful operation.

In 2012 Council agreed in principle to establish a resource recovery centre, including forming a Trust partnership with Iwi O Tupoho and Sustainable Whanganui to apply to Ministry for the Environment’s Waste Levy Fund for seeding finance. The application was successful, resulting in $405,000 being added to Council’s $350,000 Local Waste Levy Fund injection to build the centre.

WRRC Governance WRRC is governed by the WRRC Trust (WRRCT). The WRRCT was formed on 14 December 2012, and is a charitable entity set up with the objective to develop, manage and promote a Resource Recovery Centre in Whanganui; for the purpose of advancing the health and

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 105

wellbeing of our community and environment, providing waste minimization opportunities and services for the community, creating employment and strengthening respectful relationships within the community.

Trustees shall comprise of at least two trustees from each of Whanganui District Council (WDC) and Tupoho Whanau Trust (TWT) Inc. and one community trustee appointed by existing trustees. Sustainable Whanganui nominee currently fills the Community Trustee position.

Current WRRC Trustees are: • Ken Mair (Chairperson and TWT representative). • Aimee Simon (TWT representative). • Rob Vinsen (WDC representative). • Josh Chandulal-MacKay (WDC representative). • Graeme Pearson (Sustainable Whanganui representative).

Council Contracts with WRRCT Whanganui District Council has an annual service level agreement (SLA) with WRRCT to run the centre, provide certain resource recovery services and report annually. The SLA, worth $175,000 annually, is underpinned by key performance indicators that are being presented today.

Additionally Council has an annual contract with WRRCT to provide a monthly collection services of recyclables from – • Local schools. • Persons unable to access the WRRC i.e. carless, infirm etc.

9. Downer New Zealand Masters Games 2019 Update

Significance of decision – In terms of the Significance and Engagement Policy 2018, the recommended decision is not significant.

Recommendation to Committee

9.1 THAT the Downer New Zealand Masters Games update report is noted.

Tasha Paladin, Games Manager New Zealand Masters Games, reports:

Executive summary The purpose of the report is provide the Property and Community Services Committee with a concise update on activities of the Downer New Zealand Masters Games to date and outline the key milestones for the following three months.

Background It is vitally important that the reputation of the New Zealand Masters Games within the Whanganui Community is maintained.

In addition to refining the purpose of the Trust to solely deliver the New Zealand Masters games in Whanganui, significant changes to the Governing Trust, Operational Delivery Team and contractual relationships with Community Sports Partners have been made to allow for efficiency and for skills and experience to be exclusively engaged in the delivery of the Games without distraction.

The vision for the 2019 Games includes the focus on leaving a legacy for future generations; a set of transparent Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have been developed to measure the success of the Games and continue the refinement of the new delivery model.

Key Information Partners In addition to Downer being the Games Naming Rights Partner, a number of businesses and organisations within the community are supporting the 2019 Games:

• Horizons Regional Council – bus fares waived for all accredited participants of the New Zealand Masters Games.

• Air Chathams – discounted flights from Auckland to Whanganui return through a discounted code shared with Auckland registered participants only.

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 107

• River City Cabs – discounted shuttles from the Airport to the Central Business District (CBD), and discounted fares around town to all accredited participants of the New Zealand Masters Games.

• Suzuki – provision of vehicles for marketing and games time operations.

Registrations The three month Early Bird Registration fee period closed midnight 31 October 2018 with initial numbers exceeding both the conservative budget and the previous five editions of the Games in Whanganui.

A total of 2,409 entries were received in the three months from 8 August to 31 October 2018, and despite a shorter period, it still exceeded 2017’s entries that ran from 1 July to 31 October 2017.

2019 2017 2015 2013 2011 Total Entries 2,409 2,032 2,215 1,919 1,568 Variance +377 +195 +490 +841

Significant increases (over >50%) from the 2017 registrations were seen in the following areas: • Gisborne +700% (+7 participants) • Kapiti Coast +192% (+23 participants) • Tararua +183% (+11 participants) • Northland +100% (+8 participants) • Waikato +83% (+64 participants) • Auckland +78% (+107 participants) • Nelson +64% (+9 participants) • Bay of Plenty +59% (+50 participants) • Canterbury +53% (+16 participants) Whanganui increased by 5% (+38 participants)

Conversely, significant drop offs (>50%) from the 2017 registrations were seen in the following areas: • Poverty Bay -50% (-1 participants) • Southland -50% (-10 participants) • Rangitikei -57% (-34 participants) • Central Otago -80% (-4 participants)

Traditionally, the first week following Early Bird cut-off runs slow, and at the time of preparing this report (5 November 2018), an additional 30 entries have been received. As a comparison, in the first week of General entry fees for 2017, a total of 51 entries were received.

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 108

Games Village In an effort to recapture the essence of the Springvale Marquee, the outdoor Games Village at the War Memorial Centre has been met with positivity from participants, partners and performers.

The building will be used for athlete registrations, merchandise and our Sports Expo.

The outdoor staging project, led by Fergus Reid of Whanganui Venues & Events, will complement the outdoor covered bar (mobile event centre) on hire from Nation Events, and allow for a covered dance floor in case of inclement weather.

Traffic Management Plans have been submitted to reduce traffic on Watt Street, thereby reducing risk of injury to participants crossing the road between Majestic Square and the War Memorial Centre.

The entertainment line-up of predominantly local acts will take centre stage each night; the drumming group from our sister city Nagaizumi Cho will showcase their talents following the Official Opening Ceremony.

Arthur Klap, Games Manager for the inaugural New Zealand Masters Games, will be the guest of honour to officially open the 30th Anniversary games.

Arthur will be joined by Jaime Maybery, the inaugural Youth Ambassador to the Games, to receive the Games torch on behalf of Whanganui.

Waitangi Day Waitangi day falls in the middle of Games week, and to capitalise on the opportunity, a number of new events will take place around the Games Village designed to celebrate the community in sport and encourage those who have not registered to get involved and

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 109

have some fun. Road closure applications have been submitted to close off the one kilometre loop around the Village; cycling, running, team Challenge, and Mobility Scooter events are planned to be staged over this course.

In conjunction with Age Concern, a mobility scooter obstacle course will be set up. A minimal fee will apply and, in support of our legacy to the community, all proceeds will be going to Age Concern Whanganui. In the evening the Village will be open to all (over 18 years) for a gold coin donation which will also be donated to Age Concern.

To further encourage the community, a Team Challenge has been developed for Waitangi day. The 4 x 1 km relay encourages fancy dress, designer batons and a real sense of fun and camaraderie that the Games is renowned for.

A specially commissioned Waitangi Day medal will be presented to all participating in our Team Challenge and other fun events on the day.

Marketing In a break from past marketing plans, a bolder partnership with New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME) has allowed marketing coverage to concentrate on a four-hour drive time using print, radio and digital platforms. Social media content has been focussed on sport information and a call to action to register.

As the Games steps into the third phase of marketing, efforts will be placed on turning around any sports on the cusp of being dropped for 2019, due to insufficient numbers.

Riding the coat-tails of the World Masters Games held in Auckland 2017 proved beneficial to Dunedin 2018; however, most domestic and international participants consider the Worlds to have been the New Zealand Masters Games. Recent exhibitions at the ASB Auckland Marathon (14,000 entrants) and the Pan Pacific Masters Games (16,000 entrants) have been focussed on education and raising the profile of NZMG.

There is considerable competition in the market place for Masters Games competitions with the 2019 calendar already hosting four major events: • New Zealand Masters Games – February 2019. • Great Barrier Reef Masters Games – May 2019. • Lismore Masters – September 2019. • Australian Masters Games – October 2019.

Key sports identified as significant in Australia include Dragon Boating, Baseball and Rugby Union which are currently not included in the New Zealand Masters Games sports schedule.

Key Dates • General Entry Fees close midnight 9 January 2019. • Village set-up 25 January 2019. • Official Opening Ceremony 1 February 2019. • Official Closing Ceremony 10 February 2019.

Dunedin won the 2018 Most Beautiful City, while Taupo and Raglan took out the Most Beautiful Large and Small Town awards, respectively. Dunedin has a very active local branch called Keep Dunedin Beautiful – a group of volunteers committed to driving community environmental projects. Other centres such as Levin, Tauranga, Manukau and Christchurch have various town beautification charitable trusts focussed on environmental initiatives such as murals, clean ups, and sustainability.

Consideration could be given to supporting such a group in Whanganui which would then assist in entries for the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards.

A project plan will be established for Council’s entry to the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards 2019 and regular updates will be given to the Property and Community Services Committee.

In addition, work will continue to identify potential projects for other awards for the 2019 year.

11 . Property Group Activity Report

Significance of decision – In terms of the Significance and Engagement Policy 2018, the recommended decision is not significant.

Recommendation to Committee

11.1 THAT the information is noted.

Leighton Toy, General Manager Property, reports:

Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide an update on various projects that are being managed within the Property Group.

Progress Update This report provides an update on the following matters: • Property General • Pensioner Housing • Parks and Reserves General • Energy Management • Sport & Recreation • Whanganui Venues & Events

Key Issues Property General

Concept of Heritage Building Preservation Trust As outlined within the Town Centre Regeneration Strategy, Council are exploring the opportunity to be involved in an entity which looks to maintain / support the retention of our town centre built heritage. The concept is to consider utilising Endowment funds to either purchase an identified building(s) worthy of retention and / or use Endowment funds as seed funding of a Trust with a similar purpose of heritage preservation.

Councillor Helen Craig has been working with Council officers, Leighton Toy (General Manager – Property), and Rob Goldsbury (Legal Counsel) to consider the practicalities of this initiative. This Group believes Whanganui has all the expertise to undertake redevelopment of heritage earthquake-prone buildings, and that the most appropriate vehicle for Council involvement would be the creation of a not-for-profit Trust. This Group has met with individuals with an appropriate skill-set that have expressed an interest in being involved with a Trust of this nature.

Further work is required to define the purpose and vision of the Trust before an item can be presented to this Committee with more detail describing the proposed involvement of Council.

Town Centre Regeneration

Tramshed Area Partnership A design for a unique artistic fence has been obtained for the perimeter of the Tram Sheds storage area. This will enhance this prominent public space. Quotes have been obtained and funding applied for, once the outcome of the funding decision is known we will continue to move forward.

A location for a Tesla charging station has been identified and we are currently working on an agreement with the Trust who hold the ground lease.

Conversation Station Permanent Install and Art The Conversation Station viral video was a huge success with 170,000 views in one week. Hardware and programming has been configured for a permanent installation of the Conversation Station, this will activate the space on a continued basis. An art piece is in the final stages of design for the rear of the structure and both will be installed before Christmas.

Majestic Square The handrails and back of the stage have been painted to update the space and create more cohesion with the rest of the central city. Up lighting has also been installed under the six trees in lower Majestic Square.

Street Art Festival Prominent street artist Si Omer who has experience working on street art festivals globally has been engaged to look at the potential for a festival for Whanganui. It will bring in seven professional international and local artists. This festival will run over a six-day period and give Whanganui an injection of incredible large scale works. Funding is currently being sought and possible dates are being explored.

45 Ridgeway St Activation The grass area opposite the Rutland Arms Inn is a prime opportunity for activation of a picturesque central city space. A concrete table tennis table will be delivered to the site in the next week, and a local artist will be painting it. A non-profit café, Common Ground, will be operating on the site, with the goal to provide work experience to youth. All profits will go back to the youth community.

Alleyway Art The first art piece was installed in September 2018 next to the movie theatre. There has been a huge amount of positive feedback from the public about this. A meeting with local artists is set down for the first week of December 2018 to present an overview of the project so they can get involved and we can continue making the town centre reflect our creative community.

Durie Hill Elevator The elevator experienced a parts failure, a broken cable, during the middle of September 2018. The event happened while the elevator was manned by the contracted operator. All safety systems performed as designed during the event ensuring that no harm came to the occupant. At the time of the failure the elevator was certified and under a comprehensive monthly maintenance regime. The failure was due to wear and tear and the timing could not have been accurately estimated as none of the regular signs of immediate failure were visually detectable. The maintenance regime had anticipated part replacement within a twelve-month period and the replacement cables had been measured and quoted and the order was about to be placed at the time of the failure.

As a result of the event the full maintenance team consisting of four engineers was immediately assembled and an independent senior mechanical engineer from Opus who specialises in working with lifts was engaged to fully investigate the incident, review the condition of the mechanical and electrical components of the elevator and provide advice on the regular maintenance schedule. All major mechanical parts were removed from the elevator and stripped back to ensure that this process was as robust as possible.

The recommendations of this independent review process are:

• That the cable replacement order should be progressed immediately as anticipated and new cable termination wedges engineered. This has been actioned.

• That the drive shaft, estimated to be over 90 years old, is to be replaced to avoid future failure. This is now underway.

• That the current routine maintenance schedule is to continue.

• That an annual check of cable tensions (an indicator of wear) by an Independent Qualified Person (IQP) and an additional routine clearing task to remove debris to reduce wear are added to the maintenance schedule. These have now been added.

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 117

• In addition to these recommendations an updated condition assessment by the Opus engineer to happen every 36 months has been set in place.

• The Opus engineer advised that the water ingress into the elevator shaft is of concern. The water is seeping through the concrete shaft walls and pooling due to the volume, in the lower half of the shaft where the elevator is parked in the evenings and is causing corrosion. It is recommended that the elevator is parked half way down the shaft in the evenings to avoid water damage. This will be actioned when the controller has been remodelled to allow this to happen.

Future remedial works being investigated:

Investigations are underway into coating the shaft walls with a crystalline waterproofing product to reduce the inevitable damage from the water ingress to the elevator car and which will ultimately render the shaft unstable and unable to be used. Expert advice is being sought to establish the most effective product, application method for the limited available space, and determine the potential additional life this may add to the shaft.

The elevator is due to reopen during the middle of November 2018 with the replacement cables, cable terminations and drive shaft installed and all mechanical parts which have been fully serviced during the closure, reinstated, tested and certified. The unbudgeted cost of these works is approximately $50,000.

St Hill Street Entrance to Cooks Gardens – (Golden Gates) The repair and painting of the St Hill St entrance to Cooks Gardens was undertaken to coincide with the completion of this section of the St Hill Street shared path.

Pound Resource Consent will be lodged in November 2018 following completion of the sensitivity agreement between Whanganui District Council and the Gun Clubs. Detailed design is nearing completion with consultation being undertaken with a local vet on-site to fine tune the noise attenuation primarily through choice of building products and landscaping.

Upon completion of the design the Quantity Surveyor will prepare a final estimate and tender documents will be prepared for the market, most likely in February / March 2019.

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 118

Before the contract is placed out to tender a report will be forthcoming to both Council and the Tenders Board.

War Memorial Centre

W&W Construction were awarded the $3.1m contract to seismically strengthen the War Memorial Centre in May 2018. Physical works commenced on site in June 2018, and are scheduled for completion prior to the February 2019 Masters Games.

Structural strengthening works to the Main Hall is nearing completion, with only the installation of the “K brace” to the rear of the hall remaining.

The replacement of the Main Hall ceiling, and associated electrics is due to be completed by mid-November 2018. Installation of the acoustic panelling and painting of structural steel work is progressing well.

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 119

The Pioneer Room is waiting to have the “Hearing Loop” installed, and is then ready for the carpet tile flooring to proceed.

Once the structural work to the Main Hall has been fully completed these resources will concentrate on the remaining works within the Concert Chamber.

The external cladding to the enlarged “Green Room” is in the final stages of being installed.

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 120

The HVAC plant within the enlarged Green Room is in the process of being installed.

The works remain within budgeted allowances, and are on target to enable the Events staff to return to the building week commencing 18 December 2018.

Whanganui District Council Customer Services Refurbishment

The design has been completed and presentation offered to Councillors and Staff.

The remodelling is designed to create an interactive customer focused service area. Legacy compliance issues for this area of 101 Guyton Street are being addressed in conjunction with these contracted works, particularly in relation to seismic restraint of ceiling mounted equipment and fire compliance.

This work has gone out to tender with a proposed construction timeframe of three months commencing December 2018. A full communication plan is being developed in conjunction with the decanting and temporary relocation of affected services ready to inform customers prior to work commencing.

When the market has responded to our timeframe request a timeline and full plan will be published for the decanting and relocation.

Parks and Reserves Mosquito swing update Two quotes were received to build and install the new swing. The quotes were comparable and the work has come in under $20K. It is anticipated that the swing will be installed by the end of November 2018.

A meeting was held with Iwi to discuss the restoration of the swing in this area. As the cliff opposite Mosquito Point in particular, has some significance to local iwi, it is likely that some information boards will be installed advising of dangers. Water safety signage will also be installed along with the swing.

Queens Park Management Plan The Queens Park Management Plan has been adopted, and Actions arising from the plan are being considered as part of 2019/20 budgets.

One of the actions from the management plan is a revamp of the courtyard at the back of the library. A draft plan has been developed in consultation with library staff and taking into consideration feedback received as part of the consultation process for the management plan. In particular this feedback suggested that an area for children’s’ activities was required. It is further intended to give the Youth Committee an opportunity to provide feedback on the plan before any work begins.

Contracts update The public toilets / sanitation contract went out for tender earlier in the year with Fulton Hogan being the successful tenderer. Since the new contract commenced there has been positive reports on the standard of the work.

The City Shrubs and Annuals contract also went out for tender earlier this year and was awarded to the incumbent, Horticultural Services.

Aramoho Cemetery ground conditions Concerns have been raised by some members of the public regarding the ground conditions at the Aramoho Cemetery, specifically the water table level. A consultant has been engaged and a report is forthcoming.

Cemetery Data Base – Online Access The project to get an accurate and fully operational online access tool of cemetery records has been reignited. There are several thousand records that need cleansing before accurate records can be posted online.

Hipango Park During past weather events the jetty has sustained damage. Further investigative work is required to determine how or if the jetty can be rebuilt.

The jetty is not currently safe for people to disembark into the park, and therefore any grounds maintenance cannot be undertaken. A builder and an engineer are scheduled to undertake an inspection during November 2018 and report back on recommended repair works.

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 125

Walkways Repairs have been completed on the Alexia Place, Burnett Terrace and Smart Terrace walkways, with all tracks now open.

Lundon Park The toilets and skate bowl at Lundon Park are scheduled to be demolished. The toilets have not been open for well over ten years and the building has fallen into disrepair. The building is regularly the target of vandals and is an eyesore. The skate bowl is beyond repair and has been superseded by a more challenging bowl at the Castlecliff Domain Playground.

Otamatea – Dog Exercise Area In October 2018 Council were made aware of another incident of a dog that became ill after visiting Otamatea. Unfortunately the dog died. It was initially thought the dog may have eaten rat bait. The community were informed that Council had not laid any bait stations at Otamatea. Blood tests were undertaken by the dog’s owner that were inconclusive, and did not support rat or slug bait toxicity.

Sport and Recreation

Regional Velodrome Roof Project The Regional Velodrome Roof Project Control Group (PCG) commissioned an independent peer review through Sport NZ which was facilitated and paid for by Sport NZ. The results were presented to the PCG on 17 October 2018 and will be considered by Council.

Upokongaro Cycleway The Upokongaro to Whanganui Cycleway project was tendered against a Design Build form of Contract. Emmetts Civil Construction were the successful tenderer and were awarded the Design Build contract in the sum of $2.298M in November 2017.

The project is being funded jointly by New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) and Whanganui District Council.

Emmetts has engaged Holmes Consulting Group to undertake the detailed bridge design and New Plymouth firm, BTW Company, has been retained to undertake the design of the Off Road cycleway component. BPL Group Ltd has been engaged to undertake the design for the non-Whanganui River structures – Flemington Road etc. Resource Consent for the works was obtained in May 2018.

Bullocks has been engaged by Emmetts to construct the off-road cycleway element of the project. Physical works commenced on the Papaiti Road section, just east of Flemington Road, in early October 2018Ltd. The cycleway will be “sealed” when complete.

Eastbridge Ltd has been engaged by Emmets to undertake the fabrication of the Tied Arch structure. Off-site fabrication commenced in late August 2018 and is currently 70% complete. Emmetts has commenced stripping of top soil and preparation works to form a crane pad adjacent to the West Bank abutment site.

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 130

Assembly of the bridge structure, on land, will commence towards the end of November 2018. A date for the “launching” of the structure, across the river has not been determined as yet but is likely be toward the end of February 2019. The project is scheduled to be fully complete in April 2019.

Whanganui Venues & Events

The Venues & Events website is now live and up and running www.whanganuivenues.co.nz i-SITE Tie the Knot Wedding Competition Whanganui Venues & Events team ran a successful marketing campaign during August and September 2018 with the Tie the Knot Wedding Competition. This was in partnership with More FM 92.8 Whanganui and had an engagement level surpassing 50,000 people, which would be akin to a National level promotion for network radio. We received over 45 entries into the competition, with one lucky couple booked to tie the knot at the War Memorial Centre in October 2019.

Royal Wanganui Opera House The Opera House is off to a great start for the 2018-19 year, with 17 events held in the theatre over the past four months which is up from the previous year.

• September was an extremely busy month with five shows and only six dark days in the theatre, with over 3,000 patrons attending shows (a 33% increase from September 2017). • Venue efficiency for the July-October period is up 7% from the previous year. • Business acquisition for the period remains around 35% which is similar to this time last year, however September and October 2018 has seen a huge increase in booking conversions, at 75%. This is mostly due to school productions and big promoters locking in their dates for 2019. • Venue usage has increased with 17 hirers, compared to 13 in this period last year. The number of days hire per event has seen a slight increase, with an average of 1.47 days. • A successful networking evening was held on Friday, 13 October 2018, hosted in partnership with the Friends of the Opera House. This was a chance for our stakeholders and promoters to mingle with the team and volunteers, and has had

Property and Community Services Committee 20 November 2018 131

some positive feedback. We will look to carry these out at various times throughout the year.

War Memorial Centre The War Memorial Centre is still closed for seismic strengthening, with the works schedule on track for completion by the end of 2018.

• 2019 bookings are starting to come in with most of February, April and May completely booked for the Centre. A number of large National conferences and weddings are booked throughout the year, with a number of these being multi-day bookings. • The Whanganui Venues & Events venue operations team will relocate to the Centre upon reopening, utilising the office space on-site.

Cooks Gardens Events Centre Cooks Gardens has seen a busy start to the year, picking up a number of bookings due to the War Memorial Centre being closed.

• 47 events were held at Cooks from July-October, which is on par with 2017. • Cooks grounds have been busy with predominantly Heartland Rugby trainings and home games, with the season now wrapped up and athletics making the most of the grounds for their upcoming summer period. • Overall attendee numbers for the period are up 18%, sitting at over 14,000 at the end of October. • The July–October period saw 20 internal Council events held in the Function centre, making up a total of 43% of our overall events at the venue, at a value of $8,137.50. i-SITE Visitor Information Centre This period reflects the mid to tail-end of the winter season for visitors to Whanganui. Overall sales for the last four month period (July-October 2018) have exceeded expectations, with it being the most productive winter period in a very long time.

• Increases in sales are mostly due to the event ticket sales and although commission for the Centre is minimal, it has brought more customers through the door leading to an increase in sales. • Sale spend per customer is now sitting at over $2.00 average for most months of the year, where previously we only had one or two months that broke this mark. • Visitor count for July-October is slightly down on the same period in 2017, however with visitor spend being up we are seeing customers spending more per head which could be due to a more stable weather pattern this year meaning we are able to convert more activity operator sales (e.g. river activities). • Retail stock in store is continuing to do well with lots of positive feedback regarding the selection and price range of product, making it affordable for both locals and visitors. • i-SITE Visitor Information Centre held a successful Open Day on Saturday, 3 November 2018. Local operators and staff were on board promoting our services, with a great response from the community.

• The website is seeing some great traffic, with over 3,000 visits since launching and an increase in the number of enquiries by means of the website.

Durie Hill Elevator Planning is well underway for the 2019 Centenary celebrations. An official ceremony is scheduled for Friday, 2 August 2019, with a community celebration event taking place on Saturday, 3 August 2019.

• Total tickets sold for this period are at 7,649, which is down 24% due to the closure of the elevator during October 2018 for unscheduled maintenance.
