Because the Board is not prepared to spend more than $1 million, this may mean they need to prioritise what is included in the upgrade. Affordability will be a key consideration. 2. Community Hall Extension The Hanmer Springs Community Board will proceed with the previously planned extension to the Hanmer Springs community hall and has allocated $194,400 to do this in 2014/15. They will spend $10,000 in 2012/13 to finish the work on the existing stage floor and frontage that users of the hall have been asking for. The extension to the community hall is planned to include: • Upgrading the existing toilets on either side of the stage • Replacing the existing changing rooms with a large, open, multipurpose space that can be partitioned off to create several changing rooms as required. The open area can also be used for art displays, meetings, etc, as well as changing rooms for performances. • A storage area for lighting, sound, stage props, etc • Entry access for wheelchairs and large items (for stage productions, etc) As with the Hanmer Springs sports ground upgrade, the Board will do its best to maximise the budget so that the extension to the hall caters for future demand as well as the current demand, but do not expect to go beyond the allocated budget. Once again, support for this project was received, particularly from Hanmer Springs residents. Funding the Hanmer Springs Community Board The Hanmer Springs Community Board members are elected every three years in line with the local authority triennial election process. There are 6 Board members, with five being elected on the Board, and the 6 th member being the appointed local Councillor. The selected members are paid an amount determined by Council in consultation with the Community Board. The Councillor is not remunerated for being on the Community Board as he is paid as a Councillor through the Council remuneration pool. The selected members are paid 50% from amenity rates (from Hanmer Springs Ward ratepayers) and 50% funded as part of the cost of Governance through the Governance Rate, which is a District Wide Rate. The members, current remuneration is shown in table 1. The Community Board works for the Hanmer Springs Ward residents and ratepayers. Consequently, we think it appropriate that all of their remuneration is paid through local amenity rates from Hanmer Springs ratepayers, rather than a portion coming from the District Wide Rate. We have four Ward or Community Committees set up in other Wards that operate in a similar way to a Community Board, with similar delegations, but members are not paid. Therefore, we have decided that the Hanmer Springs community will fund the total remuneration for the Community Board. Based on the current level of remuneration paid to the Community Board Members, the total cost to the Hanmer Springs Amenities Rates will be $23,178 per annum commencing from 2012/13. Security of Access to Hanmer Forest Tracks The Hanmer Forest is a significant tourism asset to the district. It is estimated that 70% of visitors to the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa (approximately 511,000 people) visit the forest each year. Public access to the forest has been provided for since the early 1900s resulting in the development of an extensive recreational track network. Legal public access to the forest was lost when ownership of the land was transferred to Ngai Tahu. The continuance of the current informal public access depends on the goodwill of the Iwi and the forest leaseholder. The Hanmer Forest covers 9212 hectares in area and is comprised of native forest, exotic production and research forests, and public parks and reserves. The forest adjoins the Hanmer Springs urban boundary and extends north to the Hanmer Range ridgeline, Mt Isobel, Jollies Pass and Jacks Pass; east to Boundary Stream; south to the Hanmer River; and west to the Rogerson River catchment and Mt Tabletop. Ngai Tahu Forest Estates Ltd are the largest landowner at nearly 55%, the Department of Conservation (DOC) manages 45%, and HDC less than 1%. Although the minor landowner, the HDC land provides critical linkages from the Hanmer Springs village via Conical Hill and the 22ha Dog Stream/Brooke Dawson/ Tarndale reserves adjacent to the forest. There has been some community concern that access to the Ngai Tahu land can be closed at any time by the landowner. However, Ngai Tahu have expressed their commitment to Hanmer Springs and agree how important the tracks are. They have indicated that they want to be part of future development 18
Hurunui Community Long Term Plan 2012 - 2022 of the township and future planning for the Hurunui district, and are prepared to work with us over the forest’s long term use. A number of submissions were received on this matter supporting our intention to work toward securing long term use to the forest. A representative group of Councillors has been identified to progress further discussion with the owners of the forest to find a way forward. No funding has been allocated.
