By DAVID HILL<br />
Satisfy Food Rescue is ‘‘excited’’ the<br />
proposed KaiapoiCommunityHub is a<br />
step closertobecomingareality.<br />
The KaiapoiSeftonCommunity Board<br />
approved afinal draft concept last month<br />
for the proposedhub, which will be<br />
located between Charters Streetand<br />
Courtenay Drive.<br />
‘‘We are excitedtobepart of a<br />
community collaboration and to get a<br />
dedicated base built for us,’’ SatisfyFood<br />
Rescuemanager Stef van Meer says.<br />
‘‘We are very luckytobe able to<br />
connect with likeminded groups to<br />
develop aspacethat worksfor us and for<br />
the community.’’<br />
Satisfy Food Rescue is one of three<br />
groupsworking with the Waimakariri<br />
District Council to developthe<br />
community hub concept.<br />
The other groups are the Kaiapoi<br />
Croquet Cluband the KaiapoiMenz<br />
Shed, but thereisplenty of room for more<br />
groups, WaimakaririDistrict Council<br />
community and recreation manager<br />
Chris Brown says.<br />
‘‘We are agrowing district and it’s<br />
getting moredifficult for hobby groups to<br />
buy land and set up abase.<br />
‘‘Thisisawaycouncilcan help to<br />
ensurethere’s opportunitiesfor social<br />
wellbeing.’’<br />
DeputyMayor NevilleAtkinsonsays<br />
the community hub will be ‘‘a greatasset<br />
for the community’’.<br />
‘‘The croquet club has beeninalmost<br />
dire circumstances since the<br />
earthquakes and the menzshed needs a<br />
permanent home, as they have been<br />
shifted round afew times, and Satisfy just<br />
keepsgrowing.’’<br />
Mr Brown says the concept planwas<br />
completedfollowing consultation on a<br />
preliminary conceptplan earlier in the<br />
year.<br />
The new conceptplan is out for<br />
consultation until <strong>December</strong> 13.<br />
Community feedback will determine<br />
whether more consultation is needed<br />
before the council notifies the resource<br />
consent next year.<br />
Mr Brown says all goingwell,the<br />
consent process couldbecompleted by<br />
the middle of next year, allowingwork to<br />
beginonconstructingthe site.<br />
Acharitable trust will be establishto<br />
run the site, own the buildingsand be<br />
responsible for insurance and<br />
maintenance and have an agreement<br />
with the clubs to use the assets.<br />
‘‘We have spoken to external funding<br />
providersand theylike that model, as it<br />
meansthe trust can show them the wider<br />
communitybenefits,’’MrBrown says<br />
Whilethe council willdevelop the site,<br />
including landscapingand installing<br />
walk ways and carparking, the trust and<br />
the clubs will be responsible for securing<br />
funding for buildings.<br />
‘‘Thesite will stillbeanopen<br />
communityspace, although obviously you<br />
won’tbeable to walk on the croquet<br />
greens,’’ Mr Brown says. ‘‘People will be<br />
abletofreely walkaround the rest of the<br />
siteasthey do now for walkingthe dog or<br />
for general exercise.’’<br />
Sitesecurity, lighting, the orientation<br />
of the buildings, building materials and<br />
aesthetics will all be considered as part<br />
of the consent process.<br />
