MATTERS ARISING

 

1 - Philip welcomed everyone to the Fire Station facilities, with a special welcome to representatives of Manawhenua ki Mohua.

 

2 - On behalf of Manawhenua ki Mohua John thanked the GBSRF committee for the meeting invitation and the opportunity to partake and contribute regarding the proposed Mauri Stone Placement ceremony.

 

3 - Dean provided the meeting with a background to the GBSRF project leading up to the programmed commencement of construction in early February.

 

4 - Barney then provided an overview of the history and cultural significance of the mauri stone and their placement :

 

* - The stones represent the life blood and keeping the facility alive.

 

* - The blessing is conducted prior to dawn.

 

* - The placement site must be permanent and typically is either at the back wall or front entrance of the proposed building.

 

* - Community involvement is encouraged, particularly given the broad cross-section of community sporting and recreational group involvement in the new facility.

 

* - Prior to their placement the bare stones are passed around the group to be blessed.

 

* - The stones should be sourced locally and be of the approximate size of 2 coffee cups.

 

5 - Philip explained the proposed timetable for the demolition of the booth and the preparation to provide the contractors with a clear site by 01st February. After some discussion it was agreed to the following date for the mauri stone placement ceremony :

 

TUESDAY 02nd FEBRUARY 2016 - Please Note : This isn't weather dependant and will take place wet or fine.

 

TIME : To be confirmed but is likely to be around 4.30am with attendee's to assemble 20 minutes prior.

 

6 - The following organisations have confirmed their intention to a mauri stone placement :

 

Tasman District Council

 

Golden Bay Shared Recreation Committee

 

Manawhenua ki Mohua

 

Recreation Park Board

 

GB A&P Association.

 

All User Groups will be invited to have a representative attend the ceremony and to place a stone if desired. Those groups intending to avail themselves of this opportunity to place a stone will be required to advise GBSRF no later than Friday 29th January. This is to enable the size and depth of the hole to be correctly established prior to the ceremony.

 

Please Note : All groups involved in the mauri stone placement must have a suitable container/wrapping for their stone that will be placed in /applied after the blessing and prior to the placement into the hole. As an example a sporting group might choose to wrap their stone in their playing strip or some other item of significance to them. Stones for placement can be brought along on the morning of the ceremony.

GOLDEN BAY SHARED RECREATION FACILITY USER GROUP MEETING MINUTES THURSDAY 10th DECEMBER 2015 TAKAKA FIRE STATION - 6.00pm

 GOLDEN BAY SHARED RECREATION FACILITY

 

                                                           USER GROUP MEETING MINUTES

 

                                                            THURSDAY 10th DECEMBER 2015

 

                                                             TAKAKA FIRE STATION - 6.00pm

 

1 - Apologies : Dean Lund, Robert Chubb, Paul Sangster, Rhoda McDonald, Carolyn McLellan, Wouter deMaat.

 

2 - John Byrne ( Acting Chair ) welcomed everyone to the meeting and spoke of the challenges to date and the exciting stage that the project was now at.

 

3 - Project Update :

 

A - Site Plan :  Philip updated the meeting with the revised site plan which included the re-siting of the netball courts including the positioning of the shelter. With regard to the potential re-alignment of the power lines Duncan explained that this would require an easement from the current landowner ( Philip Windle )

 

B - Building Plans/Construction Programme : Philip worked through the finalised plans for the building highlighting the key materials to be utilised during construction and the structural changes from the original concept plans. The primary focus has been on looking at the potential options for reducing the overall project contract cost without impacting on the operational efficiency of the facilities. Any accrued savings would enable the opportunity to consider "nice to have items' such as solar energy or controlled electronic access which would potentially provide operational cost efficiencies in the longer term.

 

C - Land Gifting - Noel provided the meeting with and informative and humerous account of the historical ownership and gifting of the land now under A&P ownership. He spoke of the unanimous support from the A&P executive to gift the parcel of land to enable the siting of the two netball courts adjacent to the new complex. Noel also confirmed the A&P Association's total support for the new facilities.

 

4 - User Group Representatives : Brian spoke of the need to update the personnel/contact details for each of the User Groups. He asked that each of the groups nominate a person plus an alternate that would continue to represent their respective organisation. Given the likely fast moving and challenging period during the project construction it was important that each user group representative understood their responsibility to provide two way feedback on any matters of interest or concern.

 

5 - Pre-Construction Programme.

 

A - Mauri Stone Placement : This will take place prior to the site preparation and the commencement of construction with a final date to be confirmed. Lauralee explained the cultural significance of the stone placement including the siting and timing of the stone placement. A further meeting will take place with representatives of MWM on Thursday 07th January 2016 at 6.30pm at the Takaka Fire Station to confirm final arrangements and User Group representatives are all invited to attend.

 

B - A&P Show Stand - GBSRF will again have a stand at the show promoting the new facilities with photographic concept plans of each of the main buildings. Assistance with manning the stand from User Group members would be appreciated.

 

C - Booth Working Bee - Duncan provided the meeting with an overview of the preparations leading up to the annual show on the 16th January and the timing of the dis-establishment of equipment/exhibits. He believed it would not be realistic for A&P personnel to commence the demolition of the booth on the Sunday. Philip offered to put together a team of workers on Sunday 17th to assist in commencing the process in preparation for the actual demolition the following weekend. 

 

D - Operation Booth - Philip updated the meeting on the progress for both the demolition and material salvage from the booth. He believed there was a potential saving of $6 - 10K with the salvage of materials and contractor demolition cost. TDC require any work to be overseen by an approved contractor and supported by an approved Health & Safety plan. GB Builders will assume the responsibilty of approved contractor and a H&S plan has been forwarded to TDC for their consideration. In addition both the Takaka and Collingwood Fire Brigades will carry out a roofing exercise on the weekend of 23/24 January that will assist in the staged demolition of the roofing materials. It is intended that suitably qualified personnel will be approached to assist with the material salvage and building demolition and supported by the appropriate signage, controlled access, safety and emergency procedures.

Philip is working with the Project Manager regarding the required specifications for any potential utilisation of donated fill and approved disposal site owners regarding the disposal of unwanted materials.

 

Duncan raised the possibility of securing some of the salvaged materials to assist with the building of a suitable storage facility to house the A&P tables. Philip couldn't see a problem with this and asked Duncan to provide some detail on what they may require.

 

6 - Netball Courts Construction : Sara provided a brief update on the current status with the two courts. TDC will put the contract for construction out to tender and this will be based on a asphalt surface given the environmental and longevity concerns with other compounds. We are still to hear from Rata Foundation on the outcome of our funding application for the two new courts.

We have been fortunate to secure 160 metres of 3.6m fencing and posts from Motueka High School that should provide a significant amount to our in-kind donation credits..

 

7 - Fundraising Update.

 

A - A&P Show Raffle - We have been fortunate to secure a generous donation from Helicopter Ag for 3 scenic helicopter rides to be drawn and utilised during the A&P show. As previously advised we are looking for support from all of our User Groups to sell 40 tickets each to ensure we sell the 1000 tickets on offer and benefit by the full $5000.00. Ticket butts and money to be returned to NBS no later than Wednesday 13th January 2016.

 

B - Fundraising Prospectus - Sara tabled the prospectus that has been prepared to support applications for 3 year naming rights on the 18 nominated facilities within the building. Advertising has been conducted in the GB Weekly to gauge local interest before extending to a wider catchment of potential sponsors.

 

C - Lotteries Commission Funding - A meeting has been conducted with the Nelson Bays representative to seek advice on our forthcoming funding application. We received a favourable response and preparations for the formal application in January are now underway.

 

D - Golf Tournament : Preparations are well advanced for the golf day at Takaka Golf Club. This will be advertised in due course.

3 - Matters Arising

 

a - On-Site Meeting - Dean and Philip ( GBSRF ) along with the Project Manager ( Don Robertson ) met with representatives of Gibbons Construction and Red Box Architects for an on-site meeting prior to the User Group meeting.

     The purpose of the meeting was to familarise first-hand the proposed changes to the original plans and the building site. During the on-site meeting the GBSRF members recommended that the building location be setback a

     further 2 metres from the white fencing ( field side ) to ensure an adequate flow of spectators and players. While this will increase the fire rating on the rear walls of the building it will achieve the best outcome for field sports and 

     the A&P Association. Gibbons advised that the additional cost of the firewall tilt slab construction will remain well within our original building budget.

 

b - User Group Meeting - Dean welcomed all user group members to the meeting and extended a special welcome to the representatives of Gibbons Construction and Red Box Architects. For the benefit of the User Group Dean  

     provided a brief summary of the tender process leading to the appointment of the successful tenderer and the subsequent meetings with the appointed contractor that have resulted in the finalised plans.

 

    Red Box Architects then provided a brief overview of the following :

 

Site Plan : the key changes to the positioning of the building which will now allow the squash and rugby sports groups to continue to utilise their facilities during the construction phase.

 

              : the changes to the proposed car parking areas.

 

              : the siting of the 2 external netball courts and the moving of the No 1 rugby field 10 metres north to accomodate this.

 

Building Plan : the key features of the design including materials to be utilised.

 

                     : the proposed changes to the original plan; the major items being the increased size of the function room and kitchen facilities and the modified changing rooms.

 

Virtual Tour : a walk through of each of the areas of the building was shown on screen to enable everyone to gain an appreciation of the relative size of each area and the flows between them.

 

                  : of particular interest was the flexibility and potential integration between facilities and the benefit that the viewing gallery will provide for spectators watching either squash, gymnasium or outside sports events.

 

                  : there was general approval with the available storage areas contained throughout the building and the provision for spectator seating in the gymnasium. 

 

User Group Questions/Responses : the adequacy of the width between the playing field and building was questioned given the need to cater for foot traffic along with spectators. It was generally felt that the 6 metre width was sufficient and there was the opportunity to gain a few extra metres by moving the No1 rugby field closer to the No 2 field if required.

 

Lighting Structures : a query was made if the building was specd to fix lighting poles to the roof structure. The answer to this was no.

 

Viewing Gallery Windows : a question was asked if it would be feasible to lower the height of the viewing gallery windows to enable spectators to view sporting activities outside from a seated position. This will be investigated.

 

Outside Seating : in response to a question on the potential for outside seating it was explained that there is an area on the gym wall where this could be possible. This is something that could be looked at when funding permitted.

 

John Byrne was complementary on the proposed plans and congratulated all those involved in bringing the project to this point. This was supported by general acclamation by those present

 

Gibbons Construction : a representative of the successful tenderer addressed the meeting and expressed their excitement to be involved and to bring the project to a successful conclusion. They understood how much this project meant to the Golden Bay community and having been previously involved in similar projects were confident of delivering the right outcome. They are also pleased to be working with a local company ( Specialised Structures ) on the project and where possible are happy to allow voluntary community contributions provided it meets all compliance requirements.

 

Fundraising : Sara Chapman ( GBSRF Fundraising Manager ) provided an overview of the current fundraising position and a summary of the proposed fundraising business plan. This included the proposed sources of funding from the various agencies and the timing for each application. A major part of the required community funding will hopefully come via corporate ( business ) support and it is not the expectation that each of the user groups will be required to individually raise funds. The two major community fundraising activities will be the helicopter rides at the 2016 A&P show and the major Community Event to hopefully coincide with the grand opening of our new facilities. There is an expectation that all User groups will provide their full support to these two important fundraising events.

 

General Business : Dean once again thanked our Design and Construction team for their attendance and valued input to date and reminded our User Group members that if they had any concerns regarding the project to ensure that these are passed on promptly to the GBSRF executive members in the appropriate manner. 

 

Dean will arrange for the concept plans to be e-mailed to all User Groups for their information.

 

Meeting Closed : 7.45pm. 

GBSRF Committee Meeting - Monday 19th October 2015

 GBSRF Committee Meeting - Monday 19th October 2015

 

 

                                                       Takaka Rugby Clubrooms - 6.15pm

 

1 - Present : Dean Lund, Brian Harris, Sara Chapman, Philip Woolf, Peter Blasdale, John Byrne, Roger Tait, Candy Wegener, Faye Turnbull.

 

2 - Apologies : Dave Myall

 

3 - Project Update : Construction of Netball Courts - Sara provided an update on the progress to date :-

 

a - Meeting held with the Netball executive to discuss the project plans and agree on a process for implementation.

 

b - Representatives from GBSRF and Netball met with Bill Dalbergh ( Trustee of Rata Foundation - previously Canterbury Community Trust ) in Nelson to discuss potential project funding. Bill agreed that an application for $50,000.00 should be made under the displacement grant fund. He stressed the benefit of ensuring the application underlined the multi-purpose benefits that the netball facility will bring to the community along with the obvious advantage of bringing suitable netball facilities back to the Bay.

" That GBSRF as a charitable entity supports the GB Netball Club and submits an application for $50,000.00 to the Rata Foundation seeking a donation for the construction of two netball courts for shared usage at Recreation Park, Takaka. "

 

Proposed : Sara Chapman  Seconded : Brian Harris   CARRIED

  

c - TDC have provided a cost breakdown of the $88K cost to construct the Collingwood Netball and Tennis facilities. A budget of $125K is believed to be achievable for the two courts and fencing. Sara has prepared a tentative funding budget on the basis of :

 

Rata Foundation   - $50,000.00

 

GB Netball            - $10,000.00

 

In Kind                 - $20,000.00

 

Pub Charity          - $30,000.00  ( Trillion Trust, Lion Foundation, Pub Charity $10,000.00 each )

 

ANZ Courtside      - $15,000.00 ( Fencing )   

 

d - The overall objective is to ensure that netball is being played back in Golden Bay by the start of the 2016 season commencing in March.

 

4 - Financial Pledges

 

Dean reported that all user groups had now deposited their respective contributions with the exception of the following groups :

 

Netball - awaiting the expiry of their term deposit

 

Squash - the small balance of their pledge about to be made.

 

Mountain biking - in hand

 

Bridge - their pledge will likely be reduced by the amount of the purchase of new tables that will remain permanently in situ' and available to all users.

 

5 - Operating Budget

 

Dean tabled the draft operating budget as provided to TDC for discussion. The budget provides for a small operating surplus and all agreed it was conservatively based.

 

The User Group annual fees were discussed and although there may be some adjustments to be made all agreed that the basis for setting the fees was fair and reasonable.

 

6 - Site and Facilities Plans

 

Philip took the committee through the key design features of the successful tender plans and the suggested modifications to be discussed with the contractor.

 

The current tender price is $350K under budget and any additional costs resulting from any agreed design changes can be met from these funds without adversely impacting on the overall project cost.

 

Philip reinforced the need to now consider key operational factors such as backboards/scoreboards/cabling requirements in the gym so they are incorporated into the final building plans.

 

7 - Going Forward

 

Both Dean and Philip along with the Project Manager will meet with the successful tenderer on Thursday 22nd October to discuss the proposed design changes and finalise plans.

 

It is proposed to present the final plans ( along with a 3D visual walk-through of the proposed complex from the Architects ) to a meeting of all User Groups before final sign-off.

 

8 - Fundraising

 

Dean stressed the need for the communities share of the fundraising to commence ASAP given our commitment to meet 50% of this amount before construction can commence in February 2016.

 

It was agreed that Corporate sponsorship provided the greatest scope for fundraising and discussion took place on the development of a suitable brochure to support the drive for funding support from this sector.

 

Candy asked if there was support for the development of a facebook page to help raise awareness of the project and to assist in fundraising efforts. It was agreed that it would be a useful tool provided it was being regularly updated with project updates and milestones.

 

9 - Rata Foundation Loans

 

Brian to seek information from the Rata website and pass on to Sara.

1 - Project Update 

 

Dean provided the meeting with an overview of the key achievements and milestones over the last 12 months. He reported that there had been some significant and positive progress made over the last 8-10 weeks and all of the stakeholders were collectively committed to advancing the project expeditiously.

 

2 - Current Position and Timelines

 

Dean reported on the current status of the project including the advertising of ROI's, the shortlisting of the 4 selected companies by the Evaluation Panel and the preparation and issuing of tender documents to the successful companies. He then detailed the following key milestones and timelines for the meetings information :

 

Tenders Close :- 29 September 2015

 

Tenders e-mailed to Evaluation Panel :- 30 September 2015

 

Working Group Meets :- 01st October - 10.30am

 

Evaluation Panel Meets :- 01st October - 1.00pm

 

Full assessment of Preferred Tender :- Following Week ( during this period there will be the opportunity to come back to all User Groups for discussion ).

 

Preferred Tender to TDC Community Services Meeting :- 08th September 2015

 

Successful Tender to Tenders Panel for ratification :- 09th September 2015

 

Robert ( TRFC ) asked if some consideration could be given by the committee to the potential costs associated with retaining part or all of their facilities during the construction phase of the project given that the building programme will occur during the 2016 rugby season.

 

3 - Moving Forward

 

Assuming the successful tender meets all of the operational and pricing requirements the following timelines are envisaged :-

 

October - December 2015 - Resource and Building consent applications and approvals

 

February 2016 - Construction commences.

 

October 2016 - Construction completed.

 

Given that no tenders meet the required specifications or pricing criteria there will be the opportunity during this period to have negotiations with the preferred tenderer in an endeavour to reach a satisfactory outcome.

 

It has been agreed with TDC to treat the construction of the netball courts and carparking seperate from the building contract. ( these still form part of the overall project budget ) The potential benefit that this provides is twofold :- Firstly it enables the construction of the netball courts to proceed with the objective of ensuring completion prior to the 2016 season and secondly the opportunity to earn "in kind" community funding by completing a significant amount of the preparatory works via voluntary labour and donated equipment and materials. The GBSRF committee will have discussions with the Netball executive in September to further this initiative.

 

4 - Site Plan

 

The latest site plan was tabled and discussed. The key change from the original plan was the proposed re-siting of the netball courts to the area adjacent to Brownie's Inn. Members of the GB A&P expressed some concern with the potential impact this may have on some operational aspects of their annual show. It was agreed that members of the GBSRF will meet with A&P committee members on site to discuss and resolve these matters.

 

5 - User Group Consultation and Feedback

 

With the project now gaining momentum and having tight timelines Dean outlined the importance of having a communication structure that would provide the appropriate and timely response. From a Working Party perspective it was imperative that all communication and feedback was representative of each of the user groups committee and not that of an individual. With this in mind all communication should in the first instance be notified to the GBSRF Secretary via the appropriate User Group secretary. 

 

6 - Finance

 

a - User Group Pledges - With the TDC requirement for GBSRF to have 50% of the required community funding ( $400,000.00 ) committed prior to the release of the TDC project funding it was now timely for the User Groups to deposit their funds into the NBS Trust account. These funds would remain in the Trust account until the project was approved to proceed and in the event that this was not the case all funds would be returned to the respective User Groups. Dean will provide the bank account details to the User Groups to enable the individual pledges to be deposited.

 

b - Fundraising Plans - Dean explained to the meeting that it had been difficult to commence our fundraising programme whilst the lack of certainty around the project existed. With the recent positive project developments coupled with the tender completion in October it is proposed to ramp up our fundraising efforts to meet our budgeted targets. The following fundraising budget has been established :-

 

 

                                                                                 Budget                                     Confirmed

 

Lotteries                                                                   $400,000.00

 

Canterbury Community Trust                                      $150,000.00                              $100,000.00

 

Gaming Machine Trusts                                             $ 50,000.00

 

Public Events                                                            $ 20,000.00

 

Work In Kind ( Business )                                           $100,000.00

 

Work In Kind ( Locals )                                               $ 50,000.00

 

Corporate Sponsorship                                               $100,000.00

 

Local Business Sponsorship                                       $ 50,000.00

 

User Group Pledges                                                   $ 50,000.00                               $105,000.00

 

Public Donations                                                        $ 75,000.00                               $  7,000.00

 

Total                                                                         $1,045,000.00                            $212,000.00

 

A corporate brochure is being prepared to enable approaches to be made to locally associated companies for sponsorship once the project is confirmed.

 

Wayne ( TRFC ) asked if the GBSRF committee had considered corporate sponsorship based on naming rights. This was confirmed and this was supported by the meeting participants on the basis that the sum provided was in keeping with the accrued benefit.

 

7 - Work In Progress

 

Dean spoke on the initial work done on both the operational structure/governance and operating budget models. He conveyed to the meeting the interest that Steve Mitchell had conveyed to assist in any way required to complete these important tasks. Steve has already had considerable experience in developing successful models for similar sporting and recreational organisations.

 

8 - General Discussion

 

Dean spoke of the frustrations and setbacks that the project had endured over the past 5 years and the relief that we were finally started to get some positive progress towards achieving our goal. In response to a question put by Dean there was unanimous affirmation by all meeting participants of their ongoing support for the project

 

Meeting Closed - 7.15pm
