Annual General Meeting 3rd April 2014
Chairman's Report
Welcome to the 3rd Annual General Meeting of the Golden Bay Shared Recreational Facility Incorporated.
The past 12 moths has seen a number of higher and significant developments achieved in the pursuit of a Community Facility being built for the people of Golden Bay.
These 'highs' include:-
the continued development of the Concept Plan in conjunction with Arthouse Architecture, User Groups and the general public
the establishment of a very good and committed relationship with the Nelson based trustee's of the Cantgerbury Community Trust
the indication of significant initial donation from the CCT from their "Special 25year Fund"
the continued development of working relationships with a number of TDC councillors, including the Mayor and Staff
the development of a Working Group to take this project forward. This group includes 4 Councillors, 3 Council Staff, 1 GB Community Board Member, Arthouse and myself.
A ground-swell of support from the general public of Golden Bay
All of this is considered to hold us in good stead going forward and all necessary building blocks in the process.
However over-riding all of this was the 'bomb-shell' received in February that the TDC Councillors had voted to delete this project from both the Annual and Long Term Plans.
While initially very upsetting and had us all questioning where to from here, if anywhere? I am delighted with the overall response from our group since.
The "we are not beaten yet" attitude is fantastic and this has been hugely reinforced and supported by the general public of Golden Bay; whereby we have received support from quarters that I would never have thought possible.
In a round about way I think the project being deleted from the Council's 2014/15 Annual Plan has actually worked in our favour in terms of increasing and galvanising support for what we are proposing; therefore leaving the Council in no doubt whatsoever that the proposed project genuinely has the support of the majority of Golden Bay residents.
Clearly the next two weeks leading up to Annual Plan Submissions closing on 15.4.14 is crucial for this project; particularly in ensuring Submissions are completed and sent to Council.
I urge everyone in this room to do there utmost over this period to ensure this happens.
From there we need to swamp the TDC Annual Plan hearing in May with as many people as possible to visually show the Council this project is the most important issue for Golden Bay at this point in time and we want it.
I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Jenny for the time, effort and unwavering enthusiasm she has devoted to this project since the inception of our Committee. Her commitment and workload over this time has only increased, to the point whereby I would be truly lost without her input. Thank you Jenny on behalf of all supporters of this project.
Finally, thank you to our Committee for the continued commitment and support over the past 12 months of significant ups and downs; and for the extra effort we are requesting now.
I personally look forward to having our 4th AGM in the new Social Room of the new Community Centre in 2015.
