Update
Dean updated everyone on progress since
last meeting (1 September):
- Grant from TDC for concept plans and Don Robertson
- Now and Incorporated Society – Golden Bay Shared Recreational Facility Incorporated
- 2 Meetings with Arthouse – one to discuss site plan, second to discuss building plan
- Pub Charity application in for money for feasibility study - should hear by 10th December
- Dean, Pete and Roger met with A&P committee to explain project - result of meeting was a good understanding and can work together
Vision Statement
Dean read vision statement and asked
those present that we were still on track. All confident that we
were.
Site and Building Plans
Group discussed the site and building
plans and ideas and alterations. Dean to phone Jorgen to discuss
suggested changes.
Action Dean
Site Plan
Windle land purchase. This is still on
the cards but outside of this project
Athletics
Shot, discus, long jump could be moved
alongside rugby. Keeps all athletics together, nearer storage, don’t
take up much room when not being used, run up is grass, leaves space
for further soccer / hockey fields if extra land eventuates.
Track should be able to fit into rugby
fields, rather than on current angle
Soccer
Two fields ok, but would still have to
use High School
Netball
Suggestion to move courts so can be
more easily viewed from function room. (Came up in discussion post
meeting that this would mean a netball court would be directly in
front of the main entry)
Car Parking
Legal requirement for 270 car parks,
but may seek resource consent to challenge this
Car park likely to have raised
footpaths so not walking through cars
Outside Storage
Storage buildings to be retained where
possible. Possibly close in the open shed so a store for athletics.
Pool
Not happy with proposed site.
Suggested move along back (car park side) of main hall.
Some debate about the pool,
particularly around costs. Ann / Marguerite to bring ideas of
building and operational costs for a 4 lane, 25m long, 1.4m deep pool
to next meeting.
Action Ann /
Marguerite
Building Plan
Produce Booth
Duncan raised A&P show committee’s
concerns over the setting up of the produce, photographs etc,
normally displayed in the booth, in the main hall. Tables heavy to
shift, wall space not necessarily suited to pinning photos on. Floor
of main hall may not be suitable for outdoor footwear.
All operational concerns and can be
worked round. It was reiterated that no group should be worse off.
Function Room
Suggestion to move this round 180° so
that the corners are not taken up by bar and shop and can have view
out over fields.
Shop and Kitchen to rotate 90°
Put storage and toilets together so not
taking up 2 corners
“Weights
Room”
Not big enough.
Toilets / Storage
Get some ideas from Jorgen of
relocating these to get maximum viewing. Move these from the
function room to somewhere else
Mother’s Room
Keen to keep this. Divide with a
curtain so can double up as a first aid room
Meeting Rooms
Need only 2 meeting rooms,
interconnecting, not 3. One bigger, one smaller.
White boards
Data projector (in both)
Storage for computers and Search and
Rescue gear. (Discussion with Search and Rescue post meeting
preference for locked cupboard rather than computers set up behind a
shutter – lap tops anyway).
Changing Rooms
Changing rooms in the squash block need
to have outdoor access as well as indoor. Will be mainly used as gym
/ squash changing rooms, but need to have versatility to be used as
outdoor changing rooms as well.
Preference that changing rooms are
unisex
Squash Courts
Rotate 90° - makes for more viewing
Gym Floor
Group felt that it was important that
this was as multi-function as possible.
Add on
Design not to be so rigid that it would
be impossible to extend at a later date.
Storage
Ask Jorgen about usable spaces above
the buildings – mezzanines.
Next Step
Dean to talk to Jorgen about fine
tuning and then set a date for the next meeting.
Action Dean
