Museum Project
Library Project
|
June
2019
· Following the
Long-Term Plan 2018-28, Council re-assessed its approach to enabling a
facility that can house and display the city’s heritage collection and
taonga and tell Tauranga’s stories.
· Council recognises
the opportunity to develop a community-led or consensus approach rather than
a traditional Council led approach. This would see Council agreeing that the
envisaged community group (Tangata Whenua and stakeholders) can generate
ideas on key elements including delivery, governance models, funding and
location.
· Council will need to
agree and decide upon the mandate and expectations of the community led
approach and how Council will consider the outcomes prior to the 2021-2031
LTP process.
· Council will need to
ensure that such an approach is set up for success, which will include
assessing previous community led attempts at developing a museum project in
Tauranga and other models of successful community led projects of this
nature.
· During the Annual
Plan deliberations in May 2019, Elected Members confirmed the allocation of
$70k that had been included in the draft Annual Plan for this process.
|
February
2020
· No activity
undertaken on the Museum project during the current reporting period.
However, Taonga Tauranga are working with a wide range of local heritage
organisations to start the development of a sub-regional heritage initiative.
· Visitor Solutions
have completed a stock take of all community facilities across the city and a
final report will be presented to Council soon, outlining the current status
of the network and recommendations for growth over the next Long Term Plan
period. In due course, this work will inform progress on the Library project.

Te Papa Project (New)
|
June
2019
· Staff have met with
the Te Rangapū
Mana Whenua o Tauranga Moana to identify how the Collective wish to be
involved in the project.
· Ngāi
Tamarawaho, Ngāti Ruahine, Ngāi Te Ahi Ngati He, Ngati Ranginui and
Ngāi Te Rangi
|
February
2020
· The Te Papa Spatial
Framework provides opportunity for a distinctly Tauranga Moana response,
providing steps towards ‘bringing Mana whenua presence back into the
city’, and planting the seeds for greater cultural presence and
consideration generally. The wharewaka was put forward as an example of
bringing back Mana whenua presence into the city centre, with wider
opportunities for mahi, carving, etc.
· The need to
understand Te Papa in its spatial context – Te papa refers to a
particular place; this is indicative of the cultural narrative we need to
build into the plan
· Cultural and
environmental aspects of the project support one another; moreover, there is
opportunity to weave in the cultural narrative across all layers of the
spatial framework
· It’s important
not to focus on singular focal points, but rather the cultural overlay
throughout the peninsula.
· Resourcing the
project is important, particularly if we are to enable partnership between
Mana whenua and Council. In this regard, Council will work with Mana whenua
and make available appropriate resources to do so, including design
assistance from Clinton Bowyer (TCC), and potential for other resources
during hui and wananga, as appropriate.
· Council are
currently working with the project’s Mana whenua reps to organise a
wananga for the project – likely to be March 30/31.

NZTA to develop an interim package of works that will allow housing
development to commence in the short-term ahead of the long-term upgrades
required to SH29. The proposal sits with NZTA for consideration.
If we are able to progress on this basis, we should be in a position to bring
housing to market within 2-3 years’ subject to rezoning of the land
(noting if SHA’s had been retained rezoning would not be a risk).
· The long-term
highway solutions are likely to be 10+ years away given the current
government’s transport priorities and funding constraints.
