1 Public Forum
1.1 Rod McLeod
|
Mr McLeod, a retired civil engineer, spoke about the Sutton Bridge. He advised that during his employment with the DCC in the 1990’s, he was responsible for the maintenance of the Sutton suspension bridge.
He asked that a new bridge be built in the same manner as the original bridge, with stonework from the piers recycled. Specific design should life the deck to help mitigate flooding issues.
Mr McLeod asked the community board to support a suspension bridge rebuild. |
1.2 Project Steam - Richard Emerson & Clark McCarthey
|
Richard Emerson and Clark McCarthey addressed the meeting concerning Project Steam. A summary of their presentation is presented below. Mr Emerson and Mr McCarthey talked about their work restoring an historical steam locomotive, the Prospector. Once fully restored, they wish to run it on the original train line, where it could meet the Taieri Gorge Train. Over 21,000 voluntary hours have been worked on restoring the engine to date. The main components of the train are stored in Canterbury. The restorers would like to have a permanent place in the Middlemarch yard for the train and its restoration. Mr Emerson and Mr McCarthey would like assistance from the community board to do work in Middlemarch.
A lot of new parts have been built for the train, but the main job now is the boiler, estimated to cost around $300,000.
Mr Emerson and Mr McCarthey are seeking a letter of support from the Community board, which would assist with applying for funding, and getting support from Dunedin rail. |

Part A Reports
6 Enterprise Dunedin Update |
|
|
Staff from Enterprise Dunedin were in attendance and provided an update on their activities including, film, GigCity and Rural Broadband. |
|
Fraser Liggett introduced Antony Deaker and Lesley Marriot to the Community Board. Mr Liggett spoke to his presentation that was handed out to the Board.
Mr Deaker spoke about the opportunities for film production and requests made for certain landscapes, which Middlemarch could provide. Mr Deaker would like to establish a working relationship with the Community Board, to assist with locations and keeping the community informed about what is happening if filming were to take place in the area.
Ms Marriot talked about GigCity and the roll out of fast broad band. The rural broad band initiative work is being done at the top end of the Strath Taieri area during 2017/18, and there are plans to go through the middle section of Strath Taieri during 2018/19, and through the lower end in 2020/21.

7 Funding Applications |
|
|
Consideration was given to funding applications from the Taieri Pipe Band and the Lee Stream School. $5, 920.00 remains in the Project Fund of $10,000.00. The Taieri Pipe Band asked for $310.00 for the provision of transport for the Pipe Band, instruments and members to attend the Anzac Parade in Middlemarch. It was noted that the Taieri Pipe Band request did not include a provision for fuel, the request only covering the hire cost for transport. The community board considered an allocation of $90 towards fuel would be appropriate.
The Lee Stream School asked for $1,000.00 towards the replacement of the games courts. The courts are used by both the school and local community. It was noted that these courts benefit children and adults of all ages, and that there are very few facilities in the area that provide for this recreational activity. |
|
Moved (Member David Frew/Mr Mark O'Neill): That the Board:
Approves the funding application from the Taieri Pipe Band, and that it be increased to $400 to include the cost of fuel.
Motion carried (STCB/2018/006) |

Moved (Deputy Chairperson Joan Wilson/Member David Frew): That the Board:

9 Chairperson's Report |
|
|
The Chairperson provided a verbal update on matters of interest including: 1 Rates – the discussion noted that rural rates will go up around 8.9%, but the rates are not being spent in the rural areas. The rural ratepayers feel it is unfair that services such as the library are paid for on a capital value basis. Ratepayers accept that they should contribute to these sorts of services, but consider that the quantum is unfair. 2 Push Bike Registration or Certification – note was made that as trailers need to be certified for fitness, so too should bikes, as there are many out there that are not road worthy. 3 Emergency management – an email had been received from Paul Allen asking to come and meet with the community board. Mrs Bodeker is to invite Mr Allen to the next meeting of the community board. 4. Radio – each community board in Dunedin City has been asked to join together, with each to pay for 20 advertising slots. Following discussion, the Board agreed that it would not participate in this. |
10 Council Activities |
|
|
Cr Lord provided an update on the 10 Year Plan hearings, including the Mosgiel Pool proposal, and rating issues such as having a rating system that is fair to all. He advised that the deliberations on the plan will take place during the week starting 14 May 2018. |
