4. Public Forum Te Huinga Whānui
Part B
Victoria Andrews, Deputy Chairperson of Akaroa Civic Trust, presented to the Board regarding the Trust’s concerns about the process for development of the Banks Peninsula Destination Management Plan. The Trust is particularly concerned about the consultation process that has comprised three stakeholder workshops and an online survey for residents and the business community. Ms Andrews advised that the Trust supports the Destination Plan in principle but considers it must be a workable, long term document for the benefit of residents and businesses as well as visitors. The Trust considers that the wider community of Banks Peninsula has not been well informed about the Destination Management Plan and that direct one on one consultation with residents and businesses within the wider community is required. The Trust urged the Board to not endorse the Plan if it is not fully satisfied with it. After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Ms Andrews for her presentation. |

Part B
Lyttelton Recreation Centre Naming Maui Stewart, Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke Rapaki, Nathan Mauger, Manager of the Lyttelton Recreation Centre and Wendy Mckay, Lyttelton Recreation Centre Trust, addressed the Board regarding the Lyttelton Recreation Centre Naming report (Item 8 of these minutes refers). The process for finding a permanent name and developing a cultural narrative for the Lyttelton Recreation Centre was outlined. Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke gifted the name Mānawa Kāwhiu to be used for the Centre: • Mānawa Kāwhiu expresses strength from within • Mānawa - strength/strong/value • Kāwhiu – a specific type of kete (basket) which is used to gather mahinga kai. • This kete provides resources for our community from the ocean to the land. Wendy Mckay on behalf of the Lyttelton Recreation Centre Trust asked the Board to approve the name Mānawa Kāwhiu to be used for the Lyttelton Recreation Centre. After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Stewart, Mr Mauger, and Ms Mckay, for their presentation. |
Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula 2023-25 Community Board Plan Mr. Harry Stronach, spoke on behalf of the Akaroa Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association Inc., regarding Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula 2023-25 Community Board Plan report (Item 9 of these minutes refers). Mr Stronach advised that the Association is disappointed by the plan and its language. The Association considers that it needs to be clear that Board will be standing up for electors’ interests. With regard to the priority that “Tourism opportunities are balanced with social, cultural, economic and environmental values.” Mr Stronach indicated that it is not enough for the Board to support ChristchurchNZ in the development of the Banks Peninsula Destination Management Plan, it needs to be satisfied the plan developed reflects the will and aspirations of residents and that proper consultation is undertaken including public meetings and submissions available to be viewed. Mr Stronach advised that the Association supports the Board priority to progress Naval Point but suggest the access to the inner harbour should also be addressed by the Board. He suggested that the Board’s support for the Healthy Harbour programme of work to restore the ecological and cultural health of Whakaraupō-Lyttelton Harbour as mahinga kai should apply also to Akaroa Harbour. After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Stronach for his presentation. |
Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula 2023-25 Community Board Plan Nicky Snoyink, Regional Conservation Manager spoke on behalf of Forest and Bird regarding Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Draft Community Board Plan 2023-25 report (Item 9 of these minutes refers). Forest and Bird strongly supports the Board’s priority to protect and enhance biodiversity on Banks Peninsula and suggests that it be the Board’s number one priority. Forest and Bird recommends that the Board; • advocate for completion of Significant Ecological Sites assessments and implementation of any management recommendations • advocate to progress plan change PC7 – Managing significant indigenous vegetation • advocate that Wairewa Reserve 3185 be reclassified as Scientific Reserve so that its nationally important ecological values are protected. After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Ms Snoyink for her presentation. |
