Report to Civic and Administration Subcommittee
Nā: From: |
Andrea Taaffe, City Centre Activation Officer |
Te Take: Subject: |
Vibrancy Fund - additional application for 2020/21 funding round |
1.0 Purpose and summary - Te Kaupapa Me Te Whakarāpopototanga
1.1 The purpose of this report is to obtain a decision from the Civic and Administration Subcommittee regarding the allocation of an additional grant being requested from the 2020/21 Vibrancy Fund balance. The 2020/21 funding round allocations were considered by the Subcommittee at its meeting on 4 May 2021.
1.2 The additional application fits within the criteria of the Vibrancy Fund as the fund aims to provide artistic and creative elements for our community and to attract visitors to experience our city centre. The application has also created an opportunity to use a local artist (Brandon Blair) to design and deliver the work.
1.3 The building owner/applicant, Simon Dunn, wishes to engage Brandon to paint a mural at 113 Queen Street East, Hastings. The applicant has requested to take advantage of an opportunity that has arisen which will assist to reduce the cost of his project (scaffolding in-situ that can be used for the project). The reduced project cost could be covered by the remaining balance currently in the Vibrancy Fund.
1.4 Applications for the next (2021/22) funding round are not due to be considered until later in June. Due to the circumstances involved, it is recommended that the applicant be given the opportunity to take advantage of the existing scaffolding, which he has permission to use.
1.5 The initial amount applied for had included an amount for scaffolding. Officers have spoken with Mr Dunn and have been advised that if the artist is able to use the existing scaffolding, the amount being requested could be reduced.
1.6 An amount of $7,000.00 could be covered by the 2020/21 Vibrancy Fund balance and officers recommend that this amount be granted to the applicant for the proposed mural.
1.7 Committee members can view the full application and attachments via their Smarty Grants Login. https://manage.smartygrants.com.au/
1.8 As in Paragraph 1.6 above, if the amount the applicant is seeking to undertake this project is reduced then it could be covered by the balance currently in the 2020/21 Vibrancy Fund. (Note: The project cost in the smarty grants system will reflect the initial amount requested for the project, not the recommended total of $7,000.00).
1.9 All colours proposed to be used by the applicant in the mural meet the BS5252 (British Standard Colour Range) and therefore a resource consent is not required for this work.
