4.1       Former Kukupa School Site, Pigeon Bay

Peter Stapels, local resident, spoke to the Board about the former Kukupa School site in Pigeon Bay. The Council is considering the future use of the site.  The preferred  lessee is Purapura Whetu Trust (PWT).  PWT has proposed that the site be used as a community based Kaupapa Māori health, social service centre and community hub. In Mr Stapels’ opinion the proposal is ambiguous and it is unclear how the site will be used.  Mr Stapels was also concerned with the apparent lack of community engagement on the proposal.

Staff noted that at a previous meeting the Board requested that staff do further work on this proposal, including engaging with the local community, before coming back to the Board to request formal approval of the future use. The Board will receive a briefing from staff on this matter in early-2023.

The Chairperson thanked Mr Staples for his presentation.

4.2       Former Kukupa School Site, Pigeon Bay

Sarah Spencer Smith, resident, spoke about the former Kukupa School site in Pigeon Bay. The Council is considering the future use of the site, and the preferred lessee is Purapura Whetu Trust (PWT). Ms Spencer Smith questioned the apparent lack of consultation with neighbours and also noted that similar amenities offered by the proposed future use (for example, campsites, workshops, and historical learning opportunities) were already available at other locations nearby on Banks Peninsula.

Ms Spencer Smith noted that the proposal is out of character with the rural aspect of Pigeon Bay, and was concerned that it could negatively impact the safety of her neighbouring property.

The Chairperson thanked Ms Spencer Smith for her presentation.

Victoria Andrews, member of the Akaroa Civic Trust, introduced herself to the Board at the start of the new term.
