The Following Questions Have Been Asked of Candidates in the Mayoral Race; The following questions have been asked of candidates in the Mayoral race; Q1. Could you support a vision to make Wellington the healthiest city in NZ and then the world? Jo Coughlan: Yes Andy Foster: Wellington is already a city of active people, and that means healthy people. Our hills, harbour side walkways, easy walkability, not having lots of large roads to cross for that lunchtime walk or run, or a swim at Oriental Bay all make it easy to be active. I completely support the vision of being more active and healthier. Integrating activity into our daily routines in the way we travel around the city is important especially for people who are time poor Justin Lester: Absolutely! I play a lot of sport, run and bike and want to see Wellingtonian’ s out and about being active too. Nick Leggett: Awaiting a response Helene Richie: Yes. Healthy person is a healthy City. The Council and the Health Board need to work together on this…that is why I am standing for both to be mayor of Wellington and a member of the Health Board. Nicola Young: I want a Wellington where we are free to make positive choices in the way we choose to live our lives. That means my focus must be on ensuring Council focuses on its core business and, to do that, we need to cut waste like the $5.5m of planned expenditure on Frank Kitts Park because I have pledged to freeze rates at inflation. Q2. What importance do you place on sport and recreation in Wellington? Jo Coughlan: Recreating is a key reason why people come and live here. World class cities need world class sporting and recreational facilities. That's why I supported artificial turfs and the ASB sports centre for Wellington. Andy Foster: Personally I am a keen runner, especially mountain running. I love playing football - have done all my life. I also play occasional tennis, cycle (road and mountain bike), tramp, ski, kayak, swim, in fact I'll give most sport and recreation a go. I go to the pool once a week with my children (their swimming lessons) - sometimes I swim, other times read Council papers while on the static bike. Justin Lester: A huge degree of importance for the reason outlined before. As a youngster growing up I know that kids in sport stay out of court too! Nick Leggett: Awaiting a response Helene Richie: Very high Nicola Young: Sport and recreation are just the kinds of choices I want to make sure Wellington offers to its residents and to our visitors. But it's important to ensure that we provide a balanced picture of Wellington’s many free attractions Q3.When considering investments and/or running costs of sport & rec facilities do you off set these with lower health costs and returns to local business communities, and the wellbeing benefits to citizens? Jo Coughlan: There are benefits to having a healthy and active society. So yes in principle! Andy Foster: Council subsidises sport and recreation because of the wider benefits to health and wellbeing of the community, as well as the obvious benefit to the person actually doing the recreation. They are essential parts of the fantastic lifestyle we enjoy in Wellington. Justin Lester: I am very comfortable funding capital investment as well as subsidising the operations of recreation facilities. It’s essential that Wellington City Council steps up because no-one else is sufficiently placed to do it. I want Wellingtonians to be fit, healthy and active. Nick Leggett: Helene Richie: That should be done formally but is not. I do…and that is why Health and Council should work together- amongst other reasons Nicola Young: My focus is on freezing rates to inflation and cutting waste from our budget for the benefit of our city. In addition, the council I lead will focus on its core business of running the city well. Q4. What importance do you place on the affordability of participation for all? Jo Coughlan: Significant. There does need to be some cost recovery, however free swimming for children under 5 is a good initiative Andy Foster: It is important that access to recreation is affordable, which is also why Council has long had a passport to leisure scheme, and why we are always very thoughtful about access charges as a whole. In my view swimming pool entry costs are at the upper level of what people are willing to pay. Justin Lester: A high degree because I’ve seen how important it is from a personal experience. My mum was a beneficiary and couldn’t afford for us to play much club sport or have swimming lessons. As a result I have two brothers that can’t swim very well. I am fortunate to be in a position to pay for club fees and swimming lessons for my own kids, but I recognise lots of families and individuals can’t. I want all kids and adults to be able to participate. Nick Leggett: Awaiting response Helene Richie: Very high-sport and recreation Nicola Young: Community sports are important, and a priority for Council because they're generally more accessible, affordable and local, unlike professional sport which Council should not fund, although it does – including payments from the Council’s (secret) economic growth fund. Council does a good job at providing community facilities, and I remain to be convinced that more needs to be done Q5. While the sport and recreation sector do expect to contribute financially to the running of facilities, in addition to the rates they pay, do you think that the WCC policy to recover as much as 40% from aquatic facilities is fair particularly when other facilities target a 10% contribution and others like libraries and museums are free? Jo Coughlan: I support fair and reasonable cost recovery, however appreciate the costs for codes are an issue. We need to understand the pressures and what is acceptable to meet our goals of greater participation. Andy Foster: The level of cost recovery varies between different activities. In part that reflects historical levels of cost recovery, an the level of possible cost recovery. For example sports fields are used extensively for casual recreation which is impossible to charge for. Marinas are 100% cost recovered, Pools and artificial turfs 40%, Sports fields and Libraries 10%. Pools are increasingly struggling to maintain that 40% Council has spent $30 million in swimming pool upgrades - Keith Spry, Spray/Hydrotherapy at WRAC being the biggest two. We've spent $2.5 million on school pools - especially targeting learn to swim which I see as an absolute priority. Wellington East reopens this summer. That capital spending has barely moved the number of people using Council pools (still around 1.2 million uses a year) but has obviously increased the ratepayer subsidy per swim significantly (it's basically doubled to around $10-11 per swim I led the development of Karori Pool (opened 2001) which wasn't on Councils agenda at all at the time. That has just over 200,000 swimmers per annum compared to 28,000 in the last year as an open air pool. It is after Freyberg easily the best pool in terms of ratepayer subsidy per swim Justin Lester: One of my key policies as Mayor is to make swimming for all under 5s free. I have pledged to do this earlier this year because I know 7 out of 10 kids can’t swim and I think it’s extremely important for kids to be confident in the water. This was introduced earlier this year because my Councillor colleagues thought it was a good idea too! Next I want to remove fees for guardians accompanying under 5s and I want to see if I can make swimming lessons more affordable by partnering with learn-to-swim programmes and swimming clubs. Likewise, I’ve been a strong supporter of the school pools partnership programme, which helps ensure we have good quality school pools in Wellington for learn-to-swim programmes. The point about museums and libraries is quite valid, but it is also complex to compare them with swimming pools as they serve different purposes. WCC anticipates spending $20.9m to operate swimming pools in the 2016/17 financial year in a total recreation budget of $38.9m. In the past two years $4.2m has been spent on upgrades. I am happy to review the current funding policy, but I am conscious any change will have an impact on rates and need to weigh up the financial costs before committing to anything concrete. Nick Leggett: Awaiting response Helene Richie: No Nicola Young: Swimming pools are very expensive to operate. Te Papa established the ‘free entry’ culture, which means other museums have to follow suit. The problem is, our investment in some of our facilities has escalated fast while participation has remained static – that's unsustainable. Q6. Do you consider the double dipping that occurs when the facility is hired yet our members are still required to pay a facility entry fee? Jo Coughlan: It does seem tough that competitors are being charged twice. Andy Foster: No response to this question. Justin Lester: This is unfair. I would have to understand the impact on rates before I commit to changing this, but I have shown through my ‘free swimming for under 5s’ initiative that I will make changes where the benefits outweigh the costs to Council. Nick Leggett: Awaiting a response Helene Richie: I do not understand this question. Are you asking whether you should pay for hiring the facility as individuals or as a group-individuals pay one entry fee for an amazing range of activities e.g.

  • Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand
    NATURAL MONUMENTS: RETHINKING ARBOREAL HERITAGE FOR TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Susette Goldsmith A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2018 ABSTRACT The twenty-first century is imposing significant challenges on nature in general with the arrival of climate change, and on arboreal heritage in particular through pressures for building expansion. This thesis examines the notion of tree heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand at this current point in time and questions what it is, how it comes about, and what values, meanings and understandings and human and non-human forces are at its heart. While the acknowledgement of arboreal heritage can be regarded as the duty of all New Zealanders, its maintenance and protection are most often perceived to be the responsibility of local authorities and heritage practitioners. This study questions the validity of the evaluation methods currently employed in the tree heritage listing process, tree listing itself, and the efficacy of tree protection provisions. The thesis presents a multiple case study of discrete sites of arboreal heritage that are all associated with a single native tree species—karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus). The focus of the case studies is not on the trees themselves, however, but on the ways in which the tree sites fill the heritage roles required of them entailing an examination of the complicated networks of trees, people, events, organisations, policies and politics situated within the case studies, and within arboreal heritage itself. Accordingly, the thesis adopts a critical theoretical perspective, informed by various interpretations of Actor Network Theory and Assemblage Theory, and takes a ‘counter-’approach to the authorised heritage discourse introducing a new notion of an ‘unauthorised arboreal heritage discourse’.

  • Let's Get Wellington Moving
    Let’s Get Wellington Moving: Time To Re-focus © Copyright Karori Residents’ Association Author Bill Guest 2 March 2021 Introduction In 2001 the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) began considering how to connect the Wellington foothills motorway to the planned second tunnel through Mount Victoria. The new tunnel was to be located slightly north of the present tunnel, and parallel to it. 14 years later, after years of bickering and court cases, the proposed bridged highway on the north side of the Basin Reserve was defeated by the decision of the High Court not to overturn the decision of Commissioners to decline the resource consent required to proceed. While the Mayor of Wellington at the time, and several Councillors expressed pleasure at the decision, the only positive solutions suggested seemed to be “mass transit/light rail” and “cycleways” without a clear strategy or justification for either. In 2016 NZTA reached an agreement with Wellington City Council (WCC) and Greater Wellington City Council (GWRC) to form a joint planning group to devise and implement solutions to the growing congestion problems in Wellington City. The group became known as Let’s Get Wellington Moving (LGWM). Karori Residents Association is concerned about LGWM and believes that it is urgent that WCC asserts its position as the planning authority for the city and seeks a significant re-focus of the work of LGWM. Background When the Wellington foot-hills motorway was built in the late 1960s, the intention was to swing eastwards after passing through the new Terrace tunnel, and to cross over Aro Flat to meet the both the old (1931) and a new Mt Victoria tunnel.

  • The Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand: a Brief History
    The Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand: A Brief History Graham Redding 4 September 2012 A settler church Unlike the Anglican, Methodist and Roman Catholic churches, the Scottish Churches did not send missionaries to New Zealand. Presbyterianism arrived only after colonisation had begun, and then only as a church for settlers. As Peter Matheson says of the Presbyterian Church, “it was quite simply described by contemporaries as ‘the Scotch Kirk’, a transplantation of Scottish religion and culture, a ‘fragment’ from the other side of the world. It came by courtesy of the Industrial Revolution and the British Empire, and by the push-pull motivation of all emigrations.”1 The first minister, the Rev John McFarlane, was among a contingent of Scots who landed in Wellington on 20 February 1840, two weeks after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. He held his first service a few days later on the foreshore at Petone, but then had to wait four years before he had a church building. This was a simple wooden structure on Wellington’s Lambton Quay in which he held services in English, Gaelic and Māori . McFarlane’s concerns about the treatment of Māori found little support and, with his health deteriorating, he returned to Scotland in 1844. Part of the Free Church movement In 1843, 450 evangelical ministers (out of 1200 in total) broke away from the Church of Scotland and formed the Free Church of Scotland. They defied the patronage system by which landowners appointed ministers, and argued for the right of congregations to do the appointing.
