The purpose of this report is to advise of the outcomes of the review of the Kaitake Community Board Plan that was originally developed in 2017. RECOMMENDATION That, having considered all matters raised, the Kaitake Community Board Plan be adopted and presented to the next Council meeting. SIGNIFICANCE AND ENGAGEMENT 2. This report is provided for information purposes only, and has been assessed as being of some importance. DISCUSSION 3. The purpose of the community board plans is to build on the New Plymouth District’s Blueprint and facilitate a more integrated approach to planning, infrastructure development and community development in the District’s community board areas. To date, development of the Community Board Plans has been successful in encouraging grass roots engagement in our statutory planning and governance processes. Ultimately this is good for democracy and community participation in decision making. 4. Between elections, or as a result of elections, priorities can change within communities and surrounding areas, for example: a) What seemed very important three years ago may no longer be as important to the community today; b) New issues have arisen or have been resolved within the community; c) Projects or aspirations identified have been achieved; d) Local Government legislation changes have occurred. 5. It is therefore necessary for the community boards to review their plans to ensure that is the best representation of the current issues and aspirations within their community. 6. As the community boards began the review of their plans, COVID-19 Level 4 lockdown occurred. This prevented the ability for face-to-face community meetings. The community boards did, however, continue with their review 4 1 Kaitake Community Board Agenda (21 September 2020) - Community Board Plan through on-line surveys during Level 3 and 4 lockdown, and hard copy surveys once Level 2 had been introduced. 7. The online surveys generated substantial information about the issues and aspirations of each community. 8. There are a number of issues that the community board can take to the Council for their consideration – issues where Council has the potential to effect a change through its investment and policy decisions. 9. Having considered the results of the online surveys and feedback, each Board has prioritised their subsequent understanding of the issues and aspirations that require attention in the community. These have been included in preparatory work for the Council’s Long-Term Plan. 10. The community boards have endeavoured to respond to the priorities indicated by those who have participated in this process; however it has not been possible to reflect all of the aspirations. The hope of the community board is that over the life of the Long-Term Plan many more of the community’s identified priorities can be addressed. NEXT STEPS 11. The community boards have prioritised the aspirational projects they will put forward for funding in the Long-Term Plan, taking into account what the community has told them through their surveys and discussions. Each community board will further support their prioritisations through submission to the Long-term Plan statutory consultation process to be held in March 2021. 12. With the adoption of the Community Board Plans, the next step is to develop community investment plans that will capture the extent and timing of projects planned for each community within the board area. FINANCIAL AND RESOURCING IMPLICATIONS 13. Achieving the issues and aspirations in the community board plans will require financial and non-financial resourcing. The allocation of funding ultimately rests with the Council through the Long-Term Plan. 14. In conversations with the focus groups and during community consultation the community boards have stressed that resourcing limitations will mean not all priorities, issues or aspirations may be resolved or achieved. Some of the issues and aspirations identified are beyond the scope of Council activity, thus a partnership with community and social services organisations, iwi and business will be required to further consider the action required in these areas. 5 1 Kaitake Community Board Agenda (21 September 2020) - Community Board Plan 15. Review of a Community Board Plans will mean that the community boards can focus on those matters of greatest importance to the communities that they are tasked with advocating for. IMPLICATIONS ASSESSMENT 16. This report confirms that the matter concerned has no particular implications and has been dealt with in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002. Specifically: Council staff have delegated authority for any decisions made; Council staff have identified and assessed all reasonably practicable options for addressing the matter and considered the views and preferences of any interested or affected persons (including Māori), in proportion to the significance of the matter; Council staff have considered how the matter will promote the social, economic, environmental, and cultural well-being of communities in the present and the future. Unless stated above, any decisions made can be addressed through current funding under the Long-Term Plan and Annual Plan; Any decisions made are consistent with the Council's plans and policies; and No decisions have been made that would alter significantly the intended level of service provision for any significant activity undertaken by or on behalf of the Council, or would transfer the ownership or control of a strategic asset to or from the Council.

I was the fourth child in my family (my eldest sister just missing out) to have had Mrs Hislop as a teacher. As I look back on photos, all of my siblings have had our photograph taken at the end of each year with her. For each student the end of that year would be slightly scary, as we leave her class onto a new journey with a new teacher, knowing that we have to move on, growing up. As I’m sure other families have had a number of their children pass through and many will be pleased they got to experience a ‘room two’ environment with Mrs Hislop. Peta Hislop has taught Oakura School children for a total of 30 years but done so in two stints. “The first was from 1972 until 1977 and then I re- turned in 1986 and have been here until now.” Mrs Hislop and Becca Cowley, continued on page 2 1992 oakura 1 continued from page 1 editorial I ask Peta a very hard question but I know it is on the minds This end-of-year farewell is infused with all of all readers. much emotion as I try to comprehend the devastating loss of the Pike River What are your most memorable moments? miners.
