8.   South Library & Service Centre

Community Board Comment

Staff in attendance spoke to the accompanying report.  After questions from the Board, it was noted in the Board's discussion:

• The option of strengthening – the serviceability performance would improve but not achieve the same level of performance as the building strength may imply; to mean that the resilience of the materials is less than that of a new build, given that the materials have already endured earthquake events.
• The cashflow – that Better-Off Funds will be used in Financial Year 2024/25, existing Capital expenditure on budget in Financial Year 2025/26, with additional Capital expenditure required in Financial Year 2026/27.
• Pushing the rebuild out to a future date substantially increases the costs. In addition, the Better-Off Funding will be lost.
• Sanitary and heating issues become an increased risk if the rebuild is delayed, which can lead to building closure.
• Patched temporary works on the building are an ongoing reality with the building maintenance an operational cost.
• Having read all the reports on South Library and Service Centre, the Staff recommendation is the best option going forward.
• There is not an alternative that will save Council money in the long-term.
• This Board has taken a city-wide perspective and put other communities first with respect to earthquake repairs and rebuilds and note that it is now the turn of South Library and Service Centre. The Board notes that the decision to prioritise other areas of the city ahead of South Library, while it was the right approach, is the primary reason for the delayed rebuild of this facility and thus the increased cost of building in an inflationary environment.
• The facility is more than just a library;  it is a full-spectrum service centre. A well-loved facility, one of the most well-utilised facility of its kind in the city. Children participate in learning programmes, it is somewhere to sit quietly, to have refreshments, the governance team is located there, Council service staff are located there, and it is a key place of connection to the beautiful Ōpāwaho Heathcote River.
• In a cost of living crunch, places like libraries are extremely important. It is one of a few public places where one can pass the time in a warm room, with toilets, access to books and magazines, and helpful friendly staff, without needing to purchase anything.

Community Board Decided SCBCC/2023/00063 (Original Officer Recommendation accepted without change)

Part A

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board recommends that the Council:

5.         Delegates to the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board the authority to approve:
