A1092342

TurangiH'ongariro Community Board Minutes:
9 April 2013 / (7-
Cath Oldfield ran a programme in Taupo which involved taking 30 bikes into schools at
lunch times for children to ride. It was hoped the programme could be rolled out in
Turangi. There was also a plan to install cycle tracks in schools.
One of the participants in the Taupo Events Centre After School programme had been
provided with a bike and this had led to a passion for BMX riding. The boy had recently
qualified to participate in the world BMX trials in Auckland.
Turangi's Tongariro River Trail was a wonderful, relatively flat cycle track and should be
used as much as possible.
The national cycling track was bringing great benefits to rural communities like
Ohakune.
The giant bike in Taupo had raised the profile of cycling in the town.
A pump track should be constructed in Turangi.
Mr Chris Te Whare entered the meeting at this point [1.25pm]
The designer/builder of the giant Taupo bike had originally estimated costs, but these
had not included transport, painting, galvanizing, earthworks and so on. Over $7,000
had been donated by the Taupo community.
Members noted that $12,000 remained in the 2012/13 budget for public sculptures and
$25,000 would be available in the 2013/14 year. They agreed that there would be benefits
for Turangi if the proposed giant bike was constructed in the Waipapa Reserve. They noted
that further investment would be needed in the area around the bike in future, as it would
become a place for visitors to stop.
5093 RECOMMENDS that a contribution of $20,000 be made to the creation of a
Giant Bike sculpture in Turangi.
Henderson/Saunders
fNotes: (i) Mrs Mary Smallman abstained from voting on recommendation 5093 above.

COMMUNITY ISSUES
Department of Conservation Restructure
At the invitation of the Chairman, Messrs Mark Davies, Damien Coutts and Dave Lumley
provided an update on the recently announced Department of Conservation [DOC]
restructure. The following points were noted:
DOC was being reconfigured to better suit that organisation's new vision for the growth
of conservation in New Zealand. There was a new emphasis on growing partnerships
and working better with others. Frontline services would not be lost.
The 11 old conservancies would be consolidated into six regions throughout New
Zealand. One of the regional offices would be in Taupo.
The team in Turangi would be reduced from 28 people to 13 people.
In answer to questions the DOC representatives advised:
The impact on small communities had been considered throughout the restructure
process. 140 FTE staff would come out nationally and there would be bigger impacts
on some towns than others. Proposals at the current time would mean that all 112 sites
would still have staff based in them following the restructure.
It was likely that the DOC reception in Turangi would close.
There were no planned changes to the hatchery.
Both Project Tongariro and DOC were committed to continuing the holiday
programmes.

Turangi/Tongariro Community Board Minutes:
9 April 2013 /j
Members discussed the following community issues:
An issue with replacing a hut on Rea Grove.
Whareroa village's efforts to create a world renowned fly fishing zone.
The relocation of "the hub" building. The building had been moved from the prison to
Turangi Park and a building consent would now be sought.
The Health Trust building and the tenants plans to expand. The lease was due to
expire on 30 November.
A complaint had been received from a member of the public about safety at the
intersection ofTe Puke Road and Omori Road.
The Motuoapa Ratepayers Association had provided positive feedback about the play
area. Members of the Association were however concerned about the speed limit in the
area and had expressed a view that it should be lowered.
A discussion was also had about local ratepayer associations and the fact that Community
Board members were not invited to associations' regular meetings. The Group Manager:
Policy & Operations suggested that staff could draft a letter for the Chairman to send to the
relevant organisations expressing the Community Board's interest and desire to be made
aware of future meeting dates.
5097 RESOLVED that the information relating to community issues be received
and Department of Conservation representatives Mark Davies, Damien
Coutts and Dave Lumley be thanked for their presentation.

OPTIONS
Analwis of Options
Option 1 - Fund tha FBqiwsiwl amount
Advantages
. By recommending an increase in
funding the sculpture will be
delivered for Turangi
Disadvaiftages
. The budget for Public Art will be
substantially utilised meaning other
projecte that could arise may not be
funded as per the policy
Optfon 2-Do not bind the requested amount
Advantages
The public art fund would remain
available for others
Disadvantages
The project will probably not be delivered
Discussion of Qpttons
The options are fairiy dear but the resolution will primarily be determined based on how much
Council wants this project to happen. If the additional funding is not provided then it is a
distinct possibility that the sculpture will not be created but equally if full funding is provided
then other initiatives may suffer due to lack of Council contributory funds.
CONSULTATION
There is little consultation required but any affected parties will be informed of the Council's
deciston in due couree.
COMMUNICATIOM/MEDIA
It is Important to emphasise that the InHial funding for the giant bike was made based on the
original estimated costs. The communfcatmn wBI be driven by those behind the project [Rose
Blackiey and her team], and any communication over and above the issuing or not of a grant wHI
need to be managed by that group, with Council review.
CONCLUSION
The major issue is to determine whether the Council wishes to progress this project or not In terms
of the level of funding it wishes to provide. The public art budget is a district wide budget and
Council will ultimately determine whether this project will receive any increased funding although
the TTCB Is recommending the funding.
SUGGESTED RESOLUTION
Either:
Or
. That $20,000 be contributed to the creation of a Giant Bike sculpture In Turangl as
perTurangl-Tongariro Community Board recommendation 5093 dated 9 April 2013.
Or
That $3500 be contributed to the creation of a Giant Bike «culpture In Turangl as per
the original Council resolution dated 13 December 2011.
. That $x be contributed to the creation of a Giant Bike sculpture in Turangi.

CYCLE ART PROPOSAL
TO CELEBRATE TURANGI AS A CYCLING REGION
Route Tour de France' Pyrenees

BACKGROUND
Because the largest number of sporting visitors to the Taupo region
continues to be cyclists, it was considered valuable to acknowledge their
support, in the form of two GIANT BIKES. It is estimated that Taupo has
100,000 visiting cyclists annually. This source is based on the number of
race competitors, people training for the races and the actual counters on the
mountain bike trails. While Turangi is part of Cycle Challenge route, it has
also built the newTongariro River Trail which includes the Red Hut Loop for
mountain bikers, walkers and runners.
The 16km Tongariro River Trail is 97% flat, and an easy entry level ride. ft is
«? perfect wet day alternative for the Tongarlro Crossing which has
75,000 visitors annually. The Tongarlro River Trail could encourage these
visitors to extend their stay for another day in the region. Turangi's existing
activities such as Tokaanu Hot Pools, National Trout Centre, River Wines and
Rafting could be better utilised with an extra night's accommodation.
This cycle art concept is well established throughout the world as a
marketing icon. In the Tour de France regions of France, there are many
different artistic mediums used to demonstrate the locals support for the
sport and their acknowledgement of the subsequent income. The Tour de
France is one of the most Internationally televised annual sporting fixtures,
the cycle art is always appreciated by the TV viewers, local spectators and
cyclists. The cycle art compliments the regions and celebrates the sport. The
towns seem to try and out do each other for the best cycle art.
The Taupo GIANT BIKE positoned ontop of the Control Gate Hill, on the
comer of Pohipi Road, attracts 29 different groups per day. The Taupo
GIANT BIKE has a facebook link, with approximately 20 new friends linking
per week. The Turangi GIANT BIKE is destined for a more popular road side
location, on State Highway 1 . Once the visitors stop. they need to be
captured by signage advertising the activites, town cente and
accommodation.
The GIANT BIKES concept identifies the Taupo/Turangi region as cycling
destination, not only for the mountain hiking, the Ironman, the Lake Taupo
Cycle Challenge, the Day Night Thriller but the many other events organised
on weekly and monthly basis. Cyclists of all ages and ability can relate to this
magnified replica of their own bicycle.
Destination Great Lake Taupo are In the process of realising the benefits the
cyclists bring to the region. Future marketing campaign's will include cycling,
mountain hiking, Great Lake Track and the Tongariro River Trail. Recently
Destination Great Lake Taupo produced a map showing the regions cycle
trails, which will encourage visitors to extend their stay in this region, which

S/L
-sh'
brings economic benefits. The Kennett brothers, 'Classic NZ Cycle Trails',
also well details this new Tongariro trail. HOWEVER, there Is little to stop SH1
traffic passing by Turangi- the GIANT BIKE could make this happen.

^SUGGESTED LOCATION
We realized the importance of the following requirements when locating the Taupo
GIANT BIKE;
1. Adequate car parking immediately next to the sculpture, with a safe traffic
movement and access.
2. It must be on the same side of the road as the cyclists travel Northwards, to
alert other road users of possible cyclists on the Turangi - Taupo road.
3. To maximise on marketing for Turangl, the site must be on S.H.1
4. Under street lighting to prevent vandalism
5. It will advertise one of the Tongariro River Trail staring points.
6. The site must comply with NZTA, site sen/lces, TDC reading and safety
compliancy
See Taupo GIANT BIKE below, adequate parking. Maintenance needs to be
planned for, with a mow able access under and around the TURANGI GIANT
BIKE.
The Taupo GIANT BIKE does get a lot of climbers, it is part of the attraction of
the sculpture. TDC lawyers clarified the OSH or legality of who is responsible
for someone falling from the sculpture. The decision was concluded that
because it was a sculpture, there is no need for a fence, ground mat, or
slgnage.

G^^DESICN
The TAUPO GIANT BIKE has been much appreciated as a magnificent piece of
work. The detail is exact, as it is three times a normal bike, including every
part of the bike, quick release levers, derailleur's, brake levers, pedals etc.
The artist built it so that the long term maintenance will be minimal. It was
galvanised before painting.
Before starting the Taupo GIANT BIKE we got two different quotes from
different engineering firms, both were for $7,000.00. As it was Marcel's first
GIANT BIKE he had no concept of the actual costs, these have now been listed
onto the www.alantbike website. and are listed below. Marcel took 661 hours
to build, and locate it to the Pohipi Road site.

To save costs it is easier to keep the design simple and use the TAUPO GIANT
BIKE model.
The GIANT BIKE is also see-through, so does not restrict or obscure any
views, or cause any restriction in vision.
The GIANT BIKE would not date, go out of vogue or deteriorate with time.
The Giant Bike alerts other road users towards the vulnerability of cyclists
using this route. From Turangi the Northbound SH 1 traffic needs to be made
aware before the narrow lake edge section of the lake ride, that they are
driving through a popular cycle region. The 160 kilometre Lake Taupo loop
has become a popular training ride, consequently more and more cyclists are

5 In
^to
using it throughout the year. No doubt it will continue to become known as
one of NZ's best rides, because of the scenery. Turangi is well positioned for
a halfway point drink and food stop, as it Is the only town on the lake ride
circuit.
Sadly most Cycle Tour guide books recommend the cycle tourists avoid the
Turangi Taupo road, as the narrow cliffs such as Bully Point, frighten most
cycle tourists. Some cycle touring companies bus their riders, other guide
books suggest taking the public transport. There is no quick fix to this
problem, except to alert the vehicles of possible cycle traffic, and to warn the
cycle tourists to be careful and wear bright clothing. It continues to be
stunning scenery, beaches, and worthy of visiting. It is a more populated
route for accommodation and food than the Western Bay route. The Turangi
GIANT BIKE would alert other vehicles to the cyclists on this road.
The GIANT BIKE is considered reflective art of the region, appropriate to the
public demand as shown by the popularity of the sport and hiking tourism
initiatives, we believe the 29 groups of visitors / day qualifies this viewing
population. The visitors are both cyclists and non cyclist, of all ages.

The GIANT BIKE is also see-through, so does not restrict or obscure any

The GIANT BIKE would not date, go out of vogue or deteriorate with time.
The GIANT BIKE permanently advertises the region as a cycling destination,
so that after the initial investment, there are no other costs.

COMPLIANCE
The Turangl site installation has been discussed by Gary Keepa fTDC), Denis
Lewis and Alan Burkett from NZTA.
The site services need to be considered and adhered to before the final
location can be decided.
Chris Todd from Cardno Engineering will supervise the site installation. Chris
was instrumental with the Taupo GIANT BIKE, as fixing the bike to the
concrete pad needs to be planned for structurally weight bearing, wind
resistance and other engineering compliances. The same weight test, and
engineering planning will be able to be used for the Turangi GIANT BIKE.
To have the greatest impact it should be seen from further away, by the
Northerly bound traffic. We suggest the maillotjaune yellow for the Turangi
GIANT BIKE, as the Taupo GIANT BIKE will be the Red and White hill climbing
colours. See page one for the typical tour de France colours.

. This action follows the post Cycle Summit survey when Safe Cycling and Poihipi Road
were highlighted.
. The safety issue has been long standing and more a concern with use increase by
power projects and life style blocks.
. As you note this is one voice speaking for cycling in our district
* It was expressed that positioning our district as the Nation's Cycling was incongmous
with our reputed high risk road.
. Poihipi Road is arguable NZ's most cycled rural road.
. It is the only non State Highway section of the popular Jake circuit.
. It is the only access to over 200km of quiet sealed roads used by local and visitors
for training and recreation
. SAFFTT IS AN ISSUE FOR ALL ROAD USERS
Stated in consent document for Te Mihi Power Station 2007
. It is classified as a regional arterial road, a mid island cross country link of SH1 &
SH32
. It is the only access to ever growing Kinloch, expanding Mountain Bike trails and an
international Golf Course.
. In the first 5km there have been 4 deaths^ serious and 12 minor injuries, 25 other
Injuries (and countless unreported near misses)
. The road width varies from 7m to 8m
. The sealed shoulder ( used as the cycle lane on many roads) varies from 25cm to 75
cm.
. The road was basically designed to service a farming community.

Proposal:
In The Turangi GIANT BIKE requires a $55,000.00 build. Some of the
materials have already been cut as we were instructed in 2011 to plan for the
two GIANT BIKES.
We ask the Taupo District Councillors consider the Turangi GIANT BIKE
proposal In order to fund the project with $20,000.00.
It is a low socio economic region and finding the funding has been difficult to
date. It Is hoped that IfTDC put in this amount other groups with donate
with confidence.
We want the Turangi GIANT BIKE to be a start point of catalyst for other
cycling initiatives to the region which includes, bikes In schools programme, (
Bike Taupo), pump and jump racks and mt mountain riding as part of PE
programme, celebrating the Tongariro Trail.

3 GIANT BIKE SCULPTURE
A report from the Strategic Project Manager had been circulated [A1084864].
Rose Blackley, Richard Balm and Cath Oldfield were in attendance and addressed the Board.
The following points were noted:
Cath Oldfield ran a programme in TaupS which Involved taking 30 bikes into schools at
jynch times for children to ride. It vras hoped the programme could be rolled out in
Turangi. There was also a plan to install cycle tracks In schools.
One of the partfcipants in the TaupS Evente Centre After School programme had been
provided with a bike and this had led to a passfon for BMX riding. The boy had recently
qualified to participate in the worid BMX trials in Auckland.
Turangi's Tongariro River Trail was a wonderful, relatively flat cyde track and should be
used as much as possible.
The national cyding track was bringing great benefits to rural communities like Ohakune.
The giant bike in TaupG had raised the profile of cycling in the town.
A pump track should be constiucted in Turangi.
Afr Chn's Te Wwe entered Vhe meeting at this point [1.25pm]
. The designer/builder of the giant TaupO bike had originally estimated costs, but these had
not induded transport, painting, galvanizing, earthworks and so on. Over $7,000 had been
donated by the TaupO community.
Members noted that $12.000 remained in the 2012/13 budget for publte sculptures and $25,000
would be available in Uie 2013/14 year. They agreed that Uiere would be benefits for Turangi ff
the proposed giant bike was constructed in the Walpapa Reserve. They noted that lurther
investment vrould be needed in the area around the bike in future, as H would become a place
for visitors to stop.

REASON FOR REPORT /^
To allow Council to conskler adoption of the Southern Settlements Structure Plan.
BACKGROUND
The Structure Plan follows on from the 2006 Taup5 District 2050 Growth Management Strategy
(TD2050 GMS). whteh initially identified broad areas for future growth based on growth modeling
projectfons. The Structure Plan provides further detailed assessment of the identified growth
areas, defines the location for future residential development, and highlights specific matters for
landowners and developers to consider when apply'ng for a private plan change to rezone land.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Southern Settlements Structure Plan was notified for public submlsstons in
December 2012, with an esctended submtesfon period to accommodate the Christmas/New Year
holiday period. Submissuns dosed 1 February 2013, with 16 submissfons received, and eight
submitters wishing to be heard.
The hearing of submissions commenced 18 February for two days, and then after hearing oral
submissions the Committee deliberated on the 21 March and 2 May. The attached documents
ouUine the minutes of the hearing and the Committee's responses to submissions.
The key changes to the recommended Structure Plan as a result of submissfons include:
. Greater detail around matters to consider when undertaking a Ran Change in the
Southern Settlements.
. Removal of the Kurartau 'recreation corridor' (A1) from the map, so that its delineation can
be determined at the time of a Plan Change.
» Extension of the Omori growth area up to Omori Road (into the no water pressure zone)
with a proviso that any development into that zone will require water pressure and
reticulation at the developer's cost.
. Further explanation around the commercial and community hubs.
The recommended Structure Plan Identifies future growth areas for Oman, Kunatau, and Whareroa.
Turangi and Motuoapa settlements have capadty for future growth within the existing urban areas
or in already zoned land, therefore no further growth areas are klentified there.
DESIRED OUTCOME
The desired outcome is for Council to adopt the amended Southern Settlements Structure Plan.
CONSIDERATIONS
. Financial Considerations
There are no costs associated with adopting the Structure Plan.
. Legal Considerations
There are no legal considerations. Once adopted, the structure plan will be a nonstatutory
document that wrill guide future resource consent applications or plan changes
in the area.
. Communication and Consultation
There are no communicatton or consultation considerations. Submitters will be notified in
writing regarding the Hearing Committee's recommendation and Council's decision. The
Structure Plan will be made available on Council's website and by Coundl's development
planner when being consulted by members of the public on the matter.
* Policy Impllcattons
The Structure Plan provides more detail around where Council will prefer growth to occur.
Council may begin to receive private Plan Changes to the TaupO District Plan. These
changes are at the applicant's cost
. Risks
No addlttonal risks have been identified.
