3.2 It is an active club and requires security of tenure to plan ongoing activities with certainty.

4.2 The New Brighton Rugby Football Club have a storage shed on the boundary to the club rooms situated on the clubs own site. The shed contains training equipment for training purposes such as pads, tackle suits and cones. It also contains gear for setting up fields for matches including goal posts, pads, side line flags, chairs, and scoreboard. Its location on site is convenient for the club as the adjacent site owned by the club is fully built on the boundary so moving the gear from the clubrooms would be difficult.

6.4.3 Sports Leases Charging Policy

6.4.4 Leasing Council- dealing unilaterally with incumbent tenant where there is only one logical tenant including not-for-profit organisations particularly sports clubs on reserves.

6.5 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):

6.6 Communities & Citizens

6.6.1 Activity: Recreation, Sports, Community Arts and Events

· Level of Service: 7.0.3.1 Support citizen and partner organisations to develop, promote and deliver recreation and sport in Christchurch - 4,000 hours of staff support provided per annum.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 Community engagement involved: direct contact with the neighbouring lessees on the reserve, public notice in the Christchurch Press on 19 March 2024 and notification in the public notices of the Council website. No responses were received.

6.8 Staff consider that the above is sufficient consideration of community views taking into account the significance of the decision proposed.

6.9 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:

6.9.1 Waitai Coastal -Burwood- Linwood Community Board.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.10 The decision does not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land, a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture, and traditions.

6.11 The decision does not involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

6.12 The proposal was forwarded to Mahaanui Kurataio for comment on 26 January 2024 and they have responded that there were no issues.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.13 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaption to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions. The proposal to enter into a new lease for an existing use does not have an impact on climate change as there is limited carbon footprint associated with leasing itself and there is no change to current emissions. In terms of the activities associated with the lease, the club encourages local community involvement and in that sense the carbon associated with travel is low. There are no development plans associated with the activities that involve significant use of resources.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 Property staff to undertake final negotiation of lease terms and complete documentation.

All Saints Community Facility	The Foundry building reinstatement at All Saints, Burwood is on track to be completed on 31 January 2025. All Saints have been working hard to try and reuse as much of the original materials as possible, in an industry where there is often a lot of wastage. Unfortunately, they were unable to reuse any of the flooring as planned but managed to source second-hand flooring from Auckland, saving tens of thousands of dollars which has helped keep the budget on track. Final work is being done to make the building weathertight and the internal construction can begin. All Saints have been working hard fundraising for the fit out which has seen over $25,000 raised through various initiatives.	31 Jan 2025	Improve Access to Community Facilities: Seeing the All Saints Community Facility completed

3.2.3 Growing New Brighton

After receiving a grant of $500 from the Waitai Community Board's Koru Fund in April 2024 to get the initiative started, Growing New Brighton aims to bring the pedestrianised New Brighton Mall road back to life. After an initial revamps and tidying up of the existing planters, the volunteers have been keeping up with the seasons, adding more edibles to the planters for the community to share. They also recently created and installed a bug hotel at the planters.

New Brighton Project also hosted volunteers from Growing New Brighton at the Seaside Market on 27 July who launched their next initiative, offering mini micro greens sets for a gold coin donation, supporting community to grow healthy and nutritious greens at home.

3.2.4 New tables and shade sails for New Brighton beachside playground

Located just to the north of Te Kete Wānanga o Karoro New Brighton Library adjacent to He Puna Taimoana on Marine Parade, the beachside playground attracts hundreds of people from all over Ōtautahi as well as being a popular spot for local residents.

Earlier in the year, the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board approved an allocation of $32,000 from their Better Off Fund towards new shade sails and picnic tables for whānau to enjoy whilst visiting the beachside playground. The Board had received feedback from residents that some additional seating areas that are covered to provide some shade would greatly enhance the accessibility of the New Brighton beachside playground especially during the summer months when it became too hot for particularly mothers with small children to sit out in the open.

The funding provided for new tables and shade sails which were installed mid-August in time for some spring weather and a steady rise in beach goers as we move into summer.

3.2.5 Greening the Red Zone

Supported by the Council's Red Zone ranger team, the Avon-Ōtākaro Forst Park group held their second planting day of 2024 at Brooker Avenue on Sunday 14 July. Avon-Ōtākaro forest Park group are committed to establishing a native ecosystem with in the Avon-Ōtākaro River Corridor by planting suitable areas and maintaining the pockets of native strands that already exist in the river corridor.

Their vision is to develop a forest park that includes areas for education, sympathetic recreation, community engagement and an area of native habitat that will enable native species to thrive and for it to become a significant waypoint for migrating species.

Brooker Avenue, between the Avon-Ōtākaro River and Travis Wetland, is the groups' largest commitment and an area which they hope may become part of the Waitākiri Eco Sanctuary in future.

Around 30 volunteers came down on the day to put in around 350 native plants. The Burwood Residents’ Association bought along their BBQ and cooked kai for all the participants. The Altrusa International of Christchurch Incorporated also turned up to surprise the volunteers with an array of cakes, muffins and biscuits.

Further down the Ōtākaro river corridor the Eco-Action Nursery Trust held a planting day at the QEII site on Sunday 4 August which had a huge turn out of around 250 volunteers putting in 4,500 native plants in just under two hours. The area in QEII park, is extremely boggy and very close to the water table, so the majority of the plants that were put in were suitable for wetland forest, carex sectra, rush and kahikatea. The area will eventually be transformed back into the wetland forest that used to cover most of Ōtautahi pre-European arrival.

3.2.6 Rangatahi Recreate Event

A collaboration between Recreate, Kawai Rangatahi and Linwood Library saw the Recreate Clothing Swap and mend event being held at the Linwood Library on 7 August. Held during the Wednesday afternoon Kawai Club, the event gave ragatahi the opportunity to swap, repair or alter any clothing/garments that they wanted and get the support to learn new skills in doing so. Feedback from the event was very positive with one key highlight “…as we were making things two year 8 boys and their grandad came down to the youth area to look at books. The boys thought what we were doing looked cool and we invited them to join in. Their Grandad was really interested in both ReCreate and Kāwai Rangatahi, and we were able to pass on the details of both organisations. It sounds like the boys will come back to Kāwai Club next time. They're both from Waltham School and will be going to Te Aratai next year so was cool to be able to connect with them.”

3.2.7 Youth and Cultural Development

These events are designed to help tamariki and rangatahi develop into confident and inclusive leaders within their schools and communities. The first event took place at Te Waka Unua and was a great success. The students enjoyed a morning filled with fun activities, learning opportunities, prizes, kai (food), and music.

The Bromley Community Centre, in partnership with the Waitai team, has identified five key initiatives to boost community engagement and enhance the use of Bromley Park Reserve. During the July school holidays, the Centre’s School Holiday Programme kicked off one of these initiatives by having children create mini Fairy Houses. The mini Fairy Houses will be placed around Bromley Park Reserve as part of a trail to observe their durability. Building on this success, the next project will involve creating larger Fairy Houses, also to be created by children participating in the School Holiday Programme. The larger Fairy Houses are scheduled to be placed around the park during the summer.
