Thank you to all of our sponsors for your support, we couldn’t do it without you. - 5 - Presidents Report This past season has been very much business as usual apart from the current economic down turn affecting the clubs income in relation to its business interests & sponsorship realisation. That being said the income stream from Surf LifeSaving Northern Region Inc. & Surf Life Saving New Zealand sees our balance sheet in healthy order compared with previous seasons. The ASB Trust, with its funding arrangement with Northern Region to fund on mass, rescue equipment to the Northern Clubs saw our club gain a new Quad Bike, IRB hull & trailer along with some patrol incidentals, took pressure off local funders. The allocation of this much-needed equipment is determined through an audit of club equipment at the end of each season. This support from ASB is much appreciated. Also of note was the gift of $80,000 towards our building fund from local businessman Merv Huxford. These funds will help cover the associated costs of the consent process, which we are currently progressing through. Thankyou Merv. Our patrols this season again saw the increase in usage of our beach plus an increase in need for a patrol to be stationed at Wenderholm from time to time. This is a growing trend seen to be developing, with a number of clubs now patrolling beaches out side of their base beach. The need for us to be mobile & the expectation the club has on its patrols is ever changing. We are still very much a need driven organisation in this respect. Our competition team continues to grow. A slight change in focus & direction next season will hopefully see greater member retention. The transition of members from Junior to Senior club, which has always been an issue, should become easier & seamless than in the past. With the departure of our successful coach of 5 seasons Andrew Towns sees the end of an era. The introduction of a new coach in Chester Edwards is an exciting prospect. We all look forward to the continued success of our members in the sport arena. Once again we were fortunate to have a hard working executive committee, led by our chairman John Chapman, who is reducing his work load by handing over the reigns of Team Manager next season. A sign that the capability & management base within the club is growing. Interestingly enough there are only 3 office holders that are standing down from positions on the committee at this seasons AGM, which is a healthy sign. In closing I would like to thank the entire Orewa membership who have all contributed to the club in their own ways. To all of our key sponsors & business house sponsors, who are all listed in this Annual Report, thank you for your continued support. Thank you to Surf Life Saving New Zealand & Northern Region Inc. for their support both financial & intellectual. Also Rodney District Council now Auckland Council, we thank you for your support & a working relationship that continues to move us forward. Looking forward to another season, Wayne Franich. - 6 - Chairman’s Report This year we celebrated our 60 th anniversary and the season started in terrific fashion with a highly enjoyable reunion at Labour Weekend with a good spread of past and present members, including Katz Mackie our last surviving foundation member. It was inspiring to hear Katz talk of our early days and the hard conditions our early members had to endure. We received nothing but good feedback from all those that attended and most old members who have not had any contact with the club for years were truly impressed with the facilities, how we now operate and the skill level of today’s lifeguards. It was another tough year for us in some ways as the world slowly recovers from the recession. Our financial position has improved somewhat and we are working to find more revenue sources so we can provide equipment and resources needed by all members. We had a number of members recognised by Surf Lifesaving Northern Region and Surf Lifesaving New Zealand for their service to surf lifesaving at all levels. They are listed elsewhere in this report. Congratulations to you all and thank you on behalf of the club for your efforts on all our behalf. Special congratulations to Faron Turner who was named Surf Lifeguard of the Year by Northern Region. Recognition which is thoroughly deserved for Faron and the many many hours he puts in patrolling, Instructing, Examining and the other work he does at Club, District and national levels. This is the second time Faron has won this prestigious award which is very rare. Faron now is up for consideration for the New Zealand Surf Lifeguard of the Year and we wish him luck. We continued to provide a first class lifeguarding service on Orewa Beach and extended our services to Wenderholm for the first time in a number of years where we mounted satellite patrols over the peak holiday period. That was very well received and we plan to expand that next season. Head counts on the beach remain high and our incident statistics increase as a result. We again had a number of serious incidents including a fatality for the second year in a row. We must all be mindful that we have a serious job to do in providing lifesaving services to the public. Credit and thanks to our Instructors who work away in the background ensuring that all our lifeguards are prepared for any emergency. I encourage all our lifeguards to make an effort to obtain higher qualifications to better prepare you for the day when you will be placed in a life threatening emergency situation. That may not even be on the beach. At the end of the season we spent sometime looking at our programmes and services and we are making some changes next season – hopefully for the better. As a club we always need to change to make sure we are doing the right thing by our members. We are open to suggestions – so if you have some ideas please voice these. Everyone in a club participates in some way to the success of the whole organisation. Thanks to you all for your work over the year. We cannot survive without volunteers and it 7 appreciated the time that you all individually contribute. I especially want to mention Heather Hilder, our Administrator. While she is a paid employee, Heather does a fantastic job, largely unseen by most and takes a tremendous workload off the shoulders of the club officers. I would also like to acknowledge some of our senior lifeguards/athletes that are staring to come forward in leadership roles within the club.

  • Hibiscus and Bays Local Economic Overview 2019
    20 MARCH 20 AUCKLAND ECONOMIC OVERVIEWS HIBISCUS AND BAYS ── LOCAL BOARD ECONOMIC OVERVIEW aucklandnz.com/business a 2 | Hibiscus and Bays Local Economic Overview 2019 2 | Document Title – even page header Contents Introduction 1 People and Households 2 Skills 3 Local Economy 4 Employment Zones 5 6 Development trends Economic Development Opportunities 7 8 Glossary 3 3 | Document Title – even page header Introduction What is local economic development ATEED’s goal is to support the creation of quality jobs for all Aucklanders and while Auckland’s economy has grown in recent years, the benefits of that growth are not distributed evenly. Local economic development brings together a range of players to build up the economic capacity of a local area and improve its economic future and quality of life for individuals, families and communities. Auckland’s economic development Auckland has a diverse economy. While central Auckland is dominated by financial, insurance and other professional services, parts of south and west Auckland have strengths in a range of manufacturing industries. In other areas, tourism is a key driver and provides a lot of local employment while there are also areas that are primarily residential where residents commute to the city centre or one of the industrial precincts for employment. The Auckland region also has a significant primary sector in the large rural areas to the north and south of the region. The Auckland Growth Monitor1 and Auckland Index2 tell the story behind Auckland’s recent economic growth. While annual GDP growth of 4.3 per cent per year over the last five years is encouraging, we want our economy to be more heavily weighted towards industries that create better quality jobs and generate export earnings.
