Part A Reports

Update on Puaka Matariki

Department: Community and Planning

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 5

1 This report provides an update to the Maori Participation Working Group on progress in coordinating the 2017 Puaka Matariki Festival in Dunedin.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Committee:

a) Notes the Update on Puaka Matariki report.

BACKGROUND

2 The Puaka Matariki Festival provides a focal point for the celebration of a Festival of significant important to tangata whenua. It promotes the Maori New Year, Maori culture and its important place within our community, and highlights the talents of Maori within the community. The event Steering Roopu give cultural advice and support to this event, and advocate for Maori participation and contribution.

3 The Council has been involved in planning the annual Puaka Matariki Festival for almost a decade. The Council provides operational funding of $35,000 per year to coordinate this annual event, with funding primarily utilised to contract a Puaka Matariki Coordinator. The Puaka Matariki Festival is overseen by the Puaka Matariki Steering Roopu; comprising community representatives and staff from the DCC Community Development and Events team, with some support from Marketing and Communications (where appropriate).

4 The Festival aims to;

· Promote the Maori New Year, Maori culture and its important place within our community and country

· Showcase Maori talent and communities

· Support development of Maori arts and artists

· Provide a specific wananga season and a time for the telling of local stories.

In 2017 the Puaka Matariki Festival will be held between 17 and 23 June.

DISCUSSION

5 In February 2017, Vicki Lenihan was appointed as the Puaka Matariki Festival 2017 Coordinator. Vicki’s role is to coordinate the event programme, manage the grant funding round and lead the marketing and promotion of the event.

6 Since Vicki’s appointment 30 events have been registered on the Puaka Matariki Festival programme.

Grants

7 Annually grants have been made available to schools and community organisations to celebrate the Festival within the city. In the past few years, the majority of grant funding has been provided by Otago Community Trust, but administered through the Council.

8 This year the Otago Community Trust contributed $10,000 specifically to fund community events. The funding round for Puaka Matariki grants opened in early March and closed on 7 April 2017.

9 The Festival’s funding komiti comprised Paulette Tamati-Elliffe (representing the Maori Participation Working Party), Justine Camp (Steering Roopu) and Joy Gunn and Cara Paterson. Following allocation of grants by the Committee, the Community Development team manages payment and accountability reporting.

10 This year the panel considered 22 applications for funding; with three being declined. All of the grant funding was allocated.

11 Following notification to successful applicants, one applicant returned their funding as they were unable to complete their event. This was reallocated to another event. Two applications, which had arrived within the timeframe but missed selection, were provided funding. All successful grant applicants are expected to provide a brief accountability r1eport to the Steering Roopu before the end of July 2017.

Funding Round Issues

12 Te Roopū Tautoko ki te Tonga did not receive funding this year for its Marae Idol event as an application was not received. The Festival Coordinator had followed up with representatives prior to the close off of the grant round; but no request was made. Staff are aware that this may pose some issues for the event, and have suggested they approach another funder as there is no Puaka Matariki funding now available.

13 The funding komiti had recommended to one event organiser that they seek funding from Te Puni Kokiri. Feedback received from the organisation was that the process was too complex, and therefore the application was not made. The Steering Roopu wish to provide feedback to the Ministry, and will seek local advice on the best method of doing this prior to any conversation or correspondence.

Events and Promotion

14 The Festival Coordinator has been busy promoting the event; updating the website and Facebook pages and coordinating printed material (A5 postcards and A0 posters). The posters will be placed throughout the city by Phantom Billstickers.

15 Information on Festival events has been provided to the DCC’s Communications and Marketing team for the What’s On publication. The Coordinator has also been liaising with local radio and community newspaper, The Star.

16 Astronomical literature explaining midwinter visibility of Puaka and Matariki has been written (in plain language, for the Puaka Matariki Festival Coordinator to publish) on the website and in other material. This was provided by Alan Gilmore, former superintendent of the University of Canterbury’s Mount John Observatory at Tekapo

17 Information has been circulated to Enviroschools in the city, and an event is being planned through this programme, which focuses on sustainability.

18 Options for a launch event are being finalised, and this will either be held on 16 or 17 June 2017.

OPTIONS

19 As this report is for noting, no options are presented.

NEXT STEPS

20 Planning for the Puaka Matariki Festival 2017 will continue and a report on its coordination will be provided to the Maori Participation Working Party after August 2017.

6 Parks operational staff have addressed the concerns with the rubbish and weeds in the area and improving the signposting and directional signage. Advice is sought from the Māori Participation Working Party on how to address the concerns around Te Reo errors and content of the memorial plaque.

Central City Plan

7 The Council is developing a Central City Plan to guide the development of the central city area over the next ten years as infrastructure is updated. It is critical that a cultural narrative is developed prior to the more detailed design development. The cultural narrative is envisioned as an invaluable tool to help guide design development of Dunedin’s Central City in such a way that local iwi / runaka stories are given presence within our public streets and spaces.

8 Staff from City Development seek guidance from the Māori Participation Working Party on how the appropriate process for commissioning the cultural narrative for Central City Plan work.

Warehouse Precinct

9 As part of the Warehouse Precinct Revitalisation Plan, the Council is developing plans to upgrade Bond and Water Streets, near the historic landing site of Toitū Tauraka Waka. Staff worked to develop a shared space design with woven paving patterns and indigenous plantings, so as to help unveil the interwoven stories of Dunedin settlers, beginning with Tauraka Waka as the Otakou Kāi Tahu trading site with colonial settlers (refer to Attachment A).

10 Staff from City Development seek guidance from the Māori Participation Working Party about how to consult with local iwi / runaka about this design concept in June 2017. Staff recognise the importance of this engagement and will ensure that it is prioritised within a very short project delivery timeline. The Warehouse Precinct works must be tendered out no later than July 2017 and construction finalised by end of June 2018.

Rates remission policy for Māori freehold land

11 Staff from Finance are developing a draft rates remission policy for Māori freehold land for consideration by the Council in September 2017. Staff will consult with the Ngāi Tahu Māori Law Centre as the policy is developed and seek advice from the Māori Participation Working Party on other organisations or individuals that should be involved.

Long Term Plan consultation hui

12 At the last Māori Participation Working Party meeting there was a discussion on engagement on the Long Term Plan 2018-2028 (LTP). It was agreed that the Māori Participation Working Party would host a hui at Araiteuru marae to inform the development of the LTP.

13 Staff have developed a plan for the hui for discussion and feedback from the Māori Participation Working Party (refer to Attachment B). Advice and direction is sought on the proposed structure of the hui, as well as any guidance on organisations and individuals who should be invited to attend.
