Thames-Hauraki Plains Federation of Country Women’s Institute (IM250046)

The Community Liaison Officer presented a letter received from the Country Women’s Institute suggesting the Committee consider removing or modifying the small stage in the hall into a storage area for chairs due to the difficulty they encountered when shifting the chairs to set out the hall for their recent function.

Cr Bubb stated that as they have only one meeting a year, modifying the small hall stage into a storage area is not warranted. It was suggested that the request be declined and that the organisation be informed that staff can assist them in setting up the chairs for their annual function if required in the future.

RESOLVED

THAT the Committee decline the request, and inform the organisation that in future they contact Council requesting assistance in setting up the chairs.

The Community Services Manager outlined the progress of capital projects for the 2005/06 and 2006/07 years. It was requested the Committee approve the projects requiring completion by the end of the 2006/07 year.

PWC06/37 Trembath/Milner CARRIED

The Mayor outlined the draft proposal received from a member of the Hauraki Maritime Museum. The members were requested to consider options for the future of the park and determine if it is worthwhile preserving as a visitor attraction.

After some discussion, it was agreed that the park be tidied up and that all redundant gear cleared from the site to be dumped at Councils dump site and that it be proposed to the members of the park that they be responsible for selling the old boats which are anchored at the site.

In consideration of the future direction of the park, it was suggested that the park could be made into an attractive picnic area and that a public walkway be established from the park to the Paeroa township.

RESOLVED

THAT the options agreed be supported.
