Members need to be vigilant to stand aside from decision-making when a conflict arises between their role as a Member of the Council and any private or other external interest they might have.  This note is provided as a reminder to Members to scan the agenda and assess their own private interests and identify where they may have a pecuniary or other conflict of interest, or where there may be perceptions of conflict of interest. 

If a Member feels they do have a conflict of interest, they should publicly declare that at the start of the relevant item of business and withdraw from participating in the meeting.  If a Member thinks they may have a conflict of interest, they can seek advice from the General Counsel or the Manager: Democracy and Governance (preferably before the meeting).

Summary of Considerations - He Whakarāpopoto Whakaarohanga

Fit with purpose of Local Government - E noho hāngai pū ai ki te Rangatōpū-ā-Rohe

The Council is required to give effect to the purpose of local government as set out in section 10 of the Local Government Act 2002. That purpose is to enable democratic local decision-making and action by (and on behalf of) communities, and to promote the social, economic, environmental, and cultural wellbeing of communities in the present and for the future.

 

The above temporary road closures will be undertaken in accordance with The Local Government Act 1974 Schedule 10, section 11 and section 11(e) which states:

 

“11. The council may, subject to such conditions as it thinks fit (including the imposition of a reasonable bond), and after consultation with the Police and the Ministry of Transport, close any road or part of a road to all traffic or any specified type of traffic (including pedestrian traffic).”

 

“(e) For a period or periods not exceeding in the aggregate 31 days in any year for any exhibition, fair, show, market, concert, film-making, race or other sporting event, or public function:

 

Provided that no road may be closed for any purpose specified in paragraph (e) of this clause if that closure would, in the opinion of the council, be likely to impede traffic unreasonably.”

 

This report contributes to the purpose of local government by primarily promoting the cultural and social wellbeing of the community.

Consultation – internal and/or external - Whakawhiti Whakaaro-ā-roto / ā-waho

The organisers of the above events have been in contact with affected parties/residents via resident visiting and letter drops.

The proposed temporary road closures of the HB Marathon have been posted on the Council website and formal public notification was published in the Hawke’s Bay Today newspaper on Thursday, 18 March 2021.

The closing date for submissions for was 4:00pm on Thursday, 1 April 2021.

A total of five people have sent emails with queries /comments to the Hastings District Council about the temporary road closures related to the HB Marathon. These emails have been sent by four residents of Te Awanga. The Four Square store operator in Haumoana also sent an email asking for information regarding the proposed temporary road closures associated with Haumoana. 

Summary:

The four emails from Te Awanga residents broadly cover the following:

The temporary road closure process in general including the advertising, consultation process and the legal ability of the Hastings District Council to temporarily close roads.

The private driveway to be used as a detour including Land use Agreements, the surface condition and insurance issues.

 

Email 1: Cherry Taylor – Te Awanga resident

Comment: Query about the use of the private roadway / driveway as a detour for residents of Te Awanga (while Clifton Road is temporarily closed), also about the surface of the roadway / driveway.

 

Email 2: Steve Holder – Te Awanga resident

Comment: Query about the use of the private driveway as a detour for residents of Te Awanga. Also insurance concerns and the surface condition driveway. Further comments about the Temporary Road Closure process.     

 

Email 3: Raewyn and John Owens – Te Awanga residents

Comment: Query about alternative access during the temporary road closure of Clifton Road, along with the legal ability of Hastings District Council to temporarily close roads.

 

Email 4: Janette Beattie – Te Awanga  resident

Comment: Query about the alternative access being used as a detour including consent from the landowners. Also resident consent query.

 

Response to the above summarised comments:

Due to the common theme of some of the questions in the emails, a summary of the officer’s responses is included below:

Discussions have been undertaken with the organisers of the HB Marathon. The use of the private driveway as a detour route will be subject to land use agreements with the two separate landowners. At the time of writing this report verbal agreement has been reached between the Ironman Group and the two separate land owners.

Traffic management will be put in place which includes a temporary speed limit on the driveway. Manual traffic control (Stop / Go) will also be used to direct motorists using this detour. The slower speed environment has been put in place to maintain traffic flows and reduce the impact of the road surface on vehicles. The private driveway is narrower than a standard road and does not have a chip seal or asphaltic concrete surface. The above option is temporary and can be managed by the slower speed limit and traffic management provisions.

The following paraphrased statement and quote is from the email sent from the HB Marathon organisers dated Tuesday, 6 April 2021.

From an insurance perspective any incidents (including driver behaviour or external factors) on this driveway would be covered by a combination of ACC and vehicle insurance policies. The HB Marathon event organiser has advised that they “have indemnified the owner of this private road for any claims of this nature made by third parties against the owner. This is part of our role as responsible event organisers who rely on co-operation from land owners so that our events run to plan with as little detrimental impact to the community as possible.”

 

Email 5: Marie Walters – Haumoana (Four Square store operator)

Comment: The operator of the Four Square store in Haumoana sent an email asking for information regarding the proposed temporary road closures associated with Haumoana.

Response: Details of the temporary road closures associated with Haumoana with date and time information was supplied. The HB Marathon event organisers have also advised that they have spoken directly with the Four Square store operator about details of the marathon and temporary road closures.

Additionally, as part of the temporary road closure process the HB Marathon organisers have undertaken resident visiting and letter drops to affected residents. This is included as part of the temporary road closure process required by the Hastings District Council. 

Temporary road closures and the Hastings District Council’s authority in respect of these (which are delegated to the Civic and Administration Subcommittee) are set out under section 342(1)(b) clause 11(e) of Schedule 10 of the Local Government Act 1974.

As part of this process the Council advertises proposed temporary road closures so that the public are made aware of any such applications and have the opportunity to make a submission.    

If the proposed temporary road closures are approved, final formal public notification will be published in the Hawke’s Bay Today newspaper on Friday, 14 May 2021.

The emails from the four Te Awanga residents were all received prior to the 1 April 2021 closing date and officers are addressing these email comments as submissions. Responses were sent to these residents as included in Attachment 2. None of the residents indicated that they wished to speak to their respective submission.

A further email has been sent to these residents advising them of the meeting date and time and they have also been sent a link to the website so that they can view the agenda and report. Following the 4 May 2021 meeting the residents will be sent a copy of the Subcommittee’s decision. 

The above emails from Emails 1 – 4 from the Te Awanga residents are included as Attachment 2. Email 5 from the Haumoana Four Square store operator is included as Attachment 3

Free Happy Art

The concept: Matt Ligens created this piece to spread happiness through small yet meaningful interactions between people on an everyday basis. “All our shit stinks” is one of his many mantras, CEO’s and ganators [janitors] all have their own battles. This piece seeks to spread happiness through a unique interaction between a member of the public and an artist in a small booth in the shape of a pyramid.
Hastings specific role out: For this iteration of Free Happy Art, we will roll out the pyramid in central Hastings locations during busy weekday lunch times and weekend evenings. The public is encouraged to talk to the artist about what makes them happy and the artist gifts them a quick sketch or painting in return.
Hastings artists: We will pay local artists to activate the booth for 2 hours at a time, delivering Free Happy Art to members of the public.

Summary of Considerations - He Whakarāpopoto Whakaarohanga

Fit with purpose of Local Government - E noho hāngai pū ai ki te Rangatōpū-ā-Rohe

The Council is required to give effect to the purpose of local government as set out in section 10 of the Local Government Act 2002. That purpose is to enable democratic local decision-making and action by (and on behalf of) communities, and to promote the social, economic, environmental, and cultural wellbeing of communities in the present and for the future.

Link to the Council’s Community Outcomes – Ngā Hononga ki Ngā Putanga ā-Hapori

This proposal promotes the Social wellbeing of communities in the present and for the future, by promoting services to meet recreational, arts and cultural needs.

Māori Impact Statement - Te Tauākī Kaupapa Māori

There are likely to be positive impacts for Tangata Whenua, as for the wider community.

Sustainability - Te Toitūtanga

No known impacts for sustainability.

Financial considerations - Ngā Whakaarohanga Ahumoni

These applications are to be funded from this year’s Vibrancy Fund.  The current balance is $21,742.00 and only funding up to that amount can be considered.

Significance and Engagement - Te Hiranga me te Tūhonotanga
