10. 177
Pūrau Avenue return by way of transfer to Te Hapū o Ngati Wheke
|
|
|
Council Resolved CNCL/2024/00125
Community Board Recommendations accepted without
change
That the
Council:
1. Consult (to be no less than eight weeks) with the community in relation
to the proposal by Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke to transfer the property
at 177 Pūrau Avenue comprising 1381 m2 held in record of title 841068
and legally described as Reserve 4622 for the consideration of $1 to Te
Hapū o Ngāti Wheke.
2. If no objections, or other considerations that might require a
change in the process, are received through the consultation process,
authorise the Manager Property Consultancy to:
a. Revoke
the reserve status of the property at 177 Pūrau Avenue through the
required process in the Reserves Act 1977 and state the reasons for doing as
being that the reserve purpose and status is inconsistent with the cultural
history and significance of the property and/or the protection and
recognition of urupā on or around the site, and any further reasons
established through the consultation process;
b. Deal
exclusively with Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke in relation to the transfer of the property at 177 Pūrau
Avenue on the basis that there is a clear reason to do so under the Disposal
of Council Property Policy 2000, specifically that the exclusive
dealing:
i. Establishes appropriate ownership control and use of the land that
supports the cultural history and significance of the site and/or the
protection and recognition of urupā on or around the site.
ii. Urupā have been identified on or around the site, and the
cultural history and significance of the site and surrounding area means that
disposal to any other party or making it available for other Council purposes
would be culturally insensitive and would not meet the Council’s
obligations under the Te Tiriti o Waitangi as it applies to the
administration of reserve land.
iii. Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke is the
only logical and rightful owner of the land as mana whenua and kaitiaki of
the urupā.
iv. Achieves the Council’s Strategic Framework objectives.
v. Any further reasons established through the consultation process.
c. Return
by way of transfer to Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke the property at 177 Pūrau Avenue comprising 1381 m2 held
in record of title 841068 and legally described as Reserve 4622 for the
consideration of $1, subject to a condition that Te
Hapū o Ngāti Wheke will initiate a process
to apply to the Māori Land Court to obtain designation of 177 Pūrau
Avenue as a Māori Reserve under Te Ture Whenua
Māori Act 1993.
3. If any objections, or other considerations that might require a
change in the process, are received through consultation, delegate to Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū
Banks Peninsula Community Board, the authority to hear and determine the
submissions and objections.

|
|
Council
Comment
1.
An updated set of Officer Recommendations were
tabled at the meeting to cover off the procedural criteria set out in section
80 of the Local Government Act 2002 as required in instances where the
Council is agreeing to depart from its own policy.
|
|

Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks
Peninsula Community Board Recommendation to Council
That the
Council:
1. Agrees to continue to depart from policy
and deal unilaterally with the current tenant.
2. Conditional on recommendation 1 above
authorises staff to carry out public consultation in accordance with Section
119-120 of the Reserves Act 1977 for the granting of the lease, and:
a. Requests that in the event that any
objections are received on the proposed lease that cannot be satisfied, that
staff follow the procedure under the Reserves Act 1977 to convene a Reserves
Act Hearings Panel to consider any such objections and make a recommendation
to the Board for a decision.
|
|
|
Council Resolved CNCL/2024/00126
That the Council:
1.
Agrees to
continue to depart from its Lease Policy for the Creation of New Leases
and Extension Requests Prior to Expiry – Property (Lease Policy)
and deal unilaterally with the current tenant.
2.
Notes, in accordance
with s80 of the Local Government Act 2002 that:
a.
The granting of a
further lease of the Red House to the current tenant is inconsistent with the
Council’s Lease Policy;
b.
The reason for the
inconsistency is due to the proposed unilateral dealing with the current
tenant who maintains a level of service that is not budgeted for in the Parks
Unit operational budget, and noting there may potentially be a broader market
and public interest.
c.
There is no intention
that the Lease Policy be amended to accommodate this decision.
3.
Conditional on
Recommendation 1 above, authorises staff to carry out public consultation in
accordance with Section 119-120 of the Reserves Act 1977 for the granting of
the lease, and:
a.
Requests that in the
event any objections are received on the proposed lease that cannot be
satisfied, that staff follow the procedure under the Reserves Act 1977 to
convene a Reserves Act Hearings Panel to consider any such objections and

Community Board for a
decision.
