B McCabe understood that this work was declined due to lack of funds, however noted that recently there has been additional Government funding approved for the Omokoroa Road Urbanisation. · Omokoroa Point Playground – The consultation and design work undertaken by Council were commended, but it was noted that swings were the most used piece of equipment (in the current playground) and the new design only included one.

Executive Summary
Council by resolution C20-11.5 elected to enter into a Sale and Purchase Agreement for the purchase of the Omokoroa Sports Pavilion from the Omokoroa District Sports Incorporated Society (the “Old Pavilion Building”). As part of the purchase of the building Council undertook to re-site and refurbish the building to ensure its usability for the community. The Omokoroa Community Board agreed to fund this work from its Town Centre Reserve.
Council has identified three possible sites for the relocation of the Old Pavilion Building. The sites were the Omokoroa Domain, next to the Settlers Hall and the Western Avenue Sports Grounds.
The most appropriate location for the building is considered to be on Western Avenue Sports Ground as shown on Attachment 1.
|
1. That the Legal Property Officer’s report dated 13 October 2020 titled ‘Omokoroa Sports Pavilion’ be received. 2. That the report relates to an issue that is considered to be of low significance in terms of Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. 3. That it be recommended to Council: a. That Council proceeds with the re-siting of the Old Pavilion Building to the preferred location on Western Avenue Sportsgrounds, as shown on Attachment 1.
|
Background
The new location of the Old Pavilion Building in close proximity to the Interim Library will enable Library/Service Centre staff to manage the new community facility.
Given the building will in effect be a Council building there will be no requirement to enter into a lease.
The new facility will be bookable through the Library/Service Centre and will add much needed community space to the Omokoroa Community.
Significance and Engagement
In terms of the Significance and Engagement Policy, this decision is considered to be of low significance because it will have minimal impact in the proposed location.

9.4 Omokoroa Old Library Building
File Number: A3865495
Author: Blaise Williams, Strategic Property Manager
Authoriser: Gary Allis, Deputy Chief Executive
Executive Summary
Council’s new interim library is open and the library has moved out of the old building. Council has a land use consent to use the building for the purposes of a library and community use. The old library building is located at 9 McDonnell Street, on Lot 38 DPS 4797 and is shown on Attachment 1.
Council resolved at meeting C20-11.6 to retain the building for community purposes on recommendation from the Board.
There are a number of community groups interested in utilising the building.
In order to lease the building to a community group, Council is required to consult on the proposal to lease under Section 138 of Local Government Act 2002 and apply for a new land use consent, to reflect the change in usage. This amendment to the existing consent is not anticipated to be onerous.
|
1. That the Strategic Property Manager’s report dated 13 October titled ‘Omokoroa Old Library Building’ be received. 2. That the report relates to an issue that is considered to be of low significance in terms of Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. Recommendation to Council 3. That Council undertakes appropriate consultation as required by Section 138 of the Local Government Act 2002 for its proposal to lease the property at 9 McDonnell Street to various Community Groups. AND That Council simultaneously apply for an amendment to its resource consent to enable the property to be used by Community Groups.
aND That Council advertise for expressions of interest to use the Old Library.
|
Background
Council has a land use consent to use the property at 9 McDonnel Street as a library. The consent will need to be reapplied for or varied to allow for community groups to use the building moving forward.
The Council process for allocation of its buildings is to call for expressions of interest that Board adjudicate on. They then put a recommendation through to Council.
The above process allows interested parties to express interest and if necessary be interviewed to assess their suitability.
Once the proposed library/service centre is constructed within a proposed Town Centre, the need to retain the building would need to be revisited.
Significance and Engagement
In terms of the Significance and Engagement Policy, this decision is considered to be of low significance as there are no funding implications and much of the issues being considered have been in the public domain for some time.

Background
9.5.1 Domain Playground
The Domain playground has now secured funding and will commence construction March 2021, the proposed date of completion is July 2021. Staff are investigating different pieces of equipment for the playground, pricing, and availability.
The old tractor has been removed and returned to the original owner/ donor. The lullaby will also be removed but will be replaced by a more contemporary version that is up to code regards to safety.
I believe this new playground will be another draw card for Omokoroa and will be enjoyed for many years by this community and visitors alike.
9.5.2 Omokoroa Sports and Recreation Pavilion and Library
The Omokoroa Sports and Recreation Pavilion and Library was officially opened by his Worship the Mayor, Garry Webber, and the Chairman of the Sports and Recreation Committee Mr. Richard Gerrish on the 25th of September 2020.
This was a perfect day; the weather was warm and sunny, and it was well attended. This is an amazing asset for the Omokoroa community. Now it is time for our youth and adults alike to enjoy the resources.
The building already has been well utilized within the few days it has been opened.
9.5.3 McDonnell Street building
This asset also has been retained for the community through the Town Centre funding. Now the library has been rehoused at Western Avenue the old library building is now fit for use for other activities and groups. We also need expressions of interest from the community as to its future use.
9.5.4 The Old Library Omokoroa (TOLO )
Attachment 1 is a proposal specifically relating to The Old Library Omokoroa (TOLO). Please see the proposal from TOLO as an expression of interest.
9.5.5 Old Pavilion
The Old Pavilion on the Western Avenue sports ground has been purchased from the Western Avenue Sports and Recreational Committee by the Council.
The Council is now looking at possible relocation sites that will be best suited for the building.
I am aware that there are members of the community that have indicated a desire and need for a youth club and talk of a local Menzshed. It is now time for the community to let us know what they would like, therefore we now need expressions of interest from the community as to who and what this building will have its final use for.
9.5.6 Booking Officer/Event Coordinator
As Omokoroa is growing both population wise and in community assets, the Board believe that there is a possible need for a booking officer and event coordinator. This role we see could be a part time paid position that would be able to coordinate all the buildings and any events that would be happening in Omokoroa in the future. What we have identified is that when volunteers are in the role, they do not necessarily have the authority or back up of an organization to enforce rules and policies.
9.5.7 Walkway/Cycleway
This will be discussed with the Reserves and Facilities Projects and Assets Manager at a future Omokoroa Community Board workshop.
There have been complaints from the public regarding the gorse and blackberry growth that is surrounding and coming through the walkway. This is hazardous and should be maintained for safety and enjoyment reasons.
Staff Comment:
A CCR should be created for this issue.
9.5.8 Medical Center Access
This remains a hazardous entry/ exit way for the Medical Center, liquor store, gym, and Tavern. Where are we at with plans of rectifying this?
Staff Comment:
Tender for the Omokoroa Road Urbanization (Western to Tralee) Contract has been awarded to J Swap Contractors Ltd and the construction works expected to start prior to this Christmas.
The upgrade of the Medical Centre and associated access ways is included in this contract and will be constructed in the next 18 months or earlier depending on the Contractors programme.
9.5.9 Waterfront
As the children (and some adults) love jumping off the poles by the jetty’s and this has been deemed unsafe due to the boats and water traffic, is there a safer area that can be assigned for extra facilities, such as jousting poles and swings?
Effectively a water playground for the adolescents to burn off their energies
This would be another draw card from Omokoroa.
Staff Comment:
Consideration could be given to an anchored platform in the harbor for jumping off. This would require a resource consent from BOP Regional Council.
9.5.10 Updates
The Board would like updates on progress on the following items:
1. Pathway from Pavilion to Skate Park
Staff Comment:
The pathway connecting the Pavilion and the skate park has been programmed for completion before the end of the year, now that they Pavilion has been completed.
2. The railway bridge walkway
Staff Comment:
The preliminary designs for the bridges have been completed. Final approval and grant docs are anticipated from Kiwi Rail in the next two weeks. Documents for tendering of the two bridges are currently being prepared. It is anticipated that the bridges will be completed in this financial year.
3. Margaret Drive right turn coming from Western Avenue
Staff Comment:
Margaret Drive intersection will be improved with the Omokoroa Rd urbanization (Western to Tralee St) project.
4. Parking on Western Avenue
5. Western Avenue urbanization
Staff Comment:
Tender documents are currently being prepared for the investigation and design of this project. This project is expected to be completed over the next two financial years.
9.5.11 Community Reports
a) Community Policing Group
The Omokoroa Community Policing Group has been trying to identify the outcomes of the patrol, ways of recording outcomes and looking at possible different methods of patrolling.
The group are also looking at applying for extra funding to help with overhead costs. An extra cost has recently occurred which is a new legal requirement, this is for high Vis jackets to be worn whenever any patroller exits the car to attend to any incident.
At the time of the meeting Community Patrol were waiting to hear regarding access to the new complex on \Western Ave.
b) Omokoroa Public Art Group
Godwit Kuaka Sculpture - Funding is on target, Dave Roy is the artist, sculpture is now in progress. Proposed to be placed in the reserve with the nesting Godwits (Cooney Reserve).
There is a full report on this item from the Reserves and Facilities Manager titled Omokoroa Public Art Group – Kuaka Sculpture Proposal – Cooney Reserve within this agenda.
Domain changing room mural (painting). Council to present these plans to the Community Board Meeting on 13 October 2020.
There is a full report on this item from the Reserves and Facilities Manager titled Omokoroa Public Art Group – Omokoroa Domain Mural Art Proposal within this agenda.
Replacement Lizard is ticking along, hoping to have a budget proposal for 13th October meeting.
There is an old Black Walnut log from Omokoroa being held by the Council (it's the log in the Barkes Corner carpark). I am trying my best to have it moved to better storage and used for indoor sculpture / artwork / furniture for Omokoroa Library (old library or new).
The Omokoroa Public Art Group next meeting is 23rd Oct.
c) Omokoroa Settlers Hall
OSH Report
The Settler’s Hall continues to balance its income and expenditure with a healthy use of the hall as a community asset. The Committee have recently been working with the Western Bay of Plenty District Council Property and Services Officer (West) to assess the condition of the hall and likely requirements for repairs and upgrades over the next 10 years as part of the Long Term Plan. The main expenses will be replacement of the piled foundations and roof. (The old hall is of an age that could be considered of historical importance). The Committee accepted the report as good enough for the Long Term Plan purposes due to the compressed time frames and will review further and make submissions if necessary. A special meeting to discuss the budget will occur on 6th October 2020 and the Settlers Hall Committee AGM is on the 3rd November 2020.
d) Western Avenue Sports and Recreation group
Friday 25 September 2020 was a very significant day for all the community who reside on the Omokoroa Peninsular. On this day was the opening of the new sports pavilion; a pavilion that is the new home for the Omokoroa Library and the 32 plus member groups of the Omokoroa Sports and Recreation Society.
The opening ceremony was a great occasion, with all speakers acknowledging the partnership between the Western Bay of Plenty District Council and the community which was integral to build.
Looking ahead it is timely to raise up the business case for a part time WBOPDC Omokoroa Booking Officer role to be created to manage the bookings and oversee maintenance of the sports pavilion alongside the balance of the community assets on the peninsular.
9.1.12 Long Term Plan Submissions
a) Proposed New High School at Omokoroa
When will this be commenced and where are we at with the development of it. This is of high importance for the community of Omokoroa.
b) Multi Purpose Court
There is interest from the community to have a multipurpose court that incorporates basketball, netball, futsal, having full community use and availability based at Western Avenue.
This would be beneficial to the new pavilion.
The thoughts are that if anymore courts are to go in the immediate vicinity, the community should have full availability and use without having to pay extra fees or being a member of a specific club.
c) Car Parking
More car parking in front of the Sport and Recreation Pavilion and Library will be required.
d) Cycle and Walkway around the Omokoroa Peninsula
The Board has put forward in the past and have had requests from the public to have a cycle and walking pathway that goes around the whole peninsula that is safe and easily accessible. This would be another asset to them community for both the residents and tourists.
In response to the “Hello Future District document” the Board have agreed on the following:
CCTV
More cameras than we currently have, 24-7 monitoring of most cameras targeted rate
Katikati Bypass
Funded by central Government
Swimming Pools
Omokoroa - we would like council to be in partnership with MOE at the new high school for an indoor pool
Community Halls
Every ratepayer should contribute to a community Hall

This report provides specific information on Infrastructure activities of interest to the Board.
|
1. That the Deputy Chief Executive’s Report, dated 13 October 2020 and titled Infrastructure Services Report Omokoroa Community Board be received |
roading
Transportation - Road Improvements LED Lighting
Description: Council owns and operates 2,500 streetlights on local roads. Close to 100 of these are LED. Installation of LED lights reduces power consumption by 60%. Cost reduction is on the energy charges as line charges are a fixed fee. NZTA are offering an 85% subsidy to invest in the streetlight conversion, conditional upon it being completed by June 2021. Council has decided to participate in this.
What's Happened
The LED lighting conversion will install a uniform lighting option throughout the District. WBOPDC and WestLink are consulting with TCC, PowerCo and Horizons to identify areas where there is bespoke lighting in some subdivisions. Once these areas are identified, a report will be prepared for Council.
What's Next
WestLink have commenced the installation of the replacement LED lighting attached to the standard streetlight poles or on outreach arms attached to power poles.
The work has commenced in Omokoroa, which involves removing the old luminaires and replacing them with the new LED units.
A few local residents are raising concerns about the changes in the level of light being emitted, the light colour, concern over the angle of light spill into properties, and the existing poles are not being upgraded with decorative styles.
Some of the light spill issues are being addressed by WestLink as they arise.
Transportation - Omokoroa Community Roading
Description: Develop and implement the community roading plan approved by the Omokoroa Community Board
What's Happened
The Esplanade hard surface carpark design has now been completed and is yet to be accepted by Council.
There is also a requirement for dust suppression within the foreshore area. Kikuyu has now been planted and is being monitored and maintained accordingly.
Landscape planting has also been undertaken in a number of adjacent areas.
What's Next
Council are currently working with the consultant for design acceptance and consequent completion of works.
The Kikuyu areas will be open for car parking prior to Labour Weekend.
