Draft Dunedin Destination
Plan
3 Council
is currently developing a Dunedin Destination Plan. The draft Plan will be
considered by the Economic Development Committee on 14 March 2017 and, subject
to Committee approval, public engagement will follow.
4 The Plan
sits under Dunedin’s Strategic Framework focussing on the Economic
Development Strategy’s theme, “A Compelling
Destination”. Taking an integrated approach to destination
management, the Plan responds to city objectives around education, investment,
migration and employment, as well as tourism.
5 The draft
plan has been developed in conjunction with key city stakeholders including the
local tourism, tertiary education, cultural and events sectors, Dunedin
International Airport, the Otago Chamber of Commerce, the Department of
Conservation, the Ministry of Building, Innovation and Employment, and
Immigration New Zealand. The Grow Dunedin (Economic Development),
Creative Dunedin and Te Ao Tūroa (Environment) Partnership groups will be
briefed on the draft Plan prior to the Committee meeting.
6 A drop-in
session for Community Board members to provide initial input has arranged for:
Date: Wednesday, 15 February 2017
Time: 11.00am-12.30pm
Venue: Plaza Meeting Room, Ground Floor, Civic
Centre, 50 The Octagon (opposite the Customer Service Centre).

2017 Community Boards
Conference
8 The
biennial Community Boards Conference is being held in Methven from 12-13 May
2017. The programme and costs have yet to be released. In
accordance with the Council's policy, as it is a South Island location this
year each of Dunedin's boards will be entitled to send a representative with
registration, accommodation and travel costs paid. If a Board wishes to
send more than one representative it will be able to fund any additional
representative from its Project Fund.
Training for Community Board
Chairs
9 A Local Government New Zealand training session for Community Board
Chairs and Deputy Chairs will be held in Gore on Saturday 11 March 2017. The workshop programme includes understanding standing orders, tips for
chairing meetings, relationships between boards and councils, legislative
update, conflicts of interest and an update on policy issues impacting on the
performance of boards. Please let your Governance Support Officer know if
you wish to attend.
Proposed Reserves and
Beaches Bylaw
10 Council is currently
inviting submissions on the proposed Reserves and Beaches Bylaw. There are
three main proposals being consulted on:
a) The
expansion of the scope of the bylaw to include beaches as well as reserves
so that management of these spaces is consistent.
b) Expanding
provisions to control the use of vehicles and aircraft (including drones)
on reserves and beaches.
c) Inclusion
of speed limit and access restrictions for vehicles and boats on reserves
and beaches.
11 Freedom Camping is
not included in the statement of proposal, as Council will consider this issue
separately in 2017 in relation to amendments to the Camping Control Bylaw
2015. Submissions close on 10 February 2017 and consultation information
is on the Council's website.

and install doors facing north in the supper room.
· A
summary of expenditure/budget/timeframe will be provided for the next hall
