RECOMMENDATIONS
That the Committee:
a) Notes the Community and Culture Activity Report for the
quarter ending 31 December 2020.
|
BACKGROUND
Activities
3 The
Community and Planning group of activities works with other agencies to set the
direction for managing Dunedin’s built and natural environment. It
also works to enable a strong sense of community and social inclusion through
the provision of advice and support to community groups and social agencies and
provides events for the enjoyment of residents and visitors.
4 The
Arts and Culture group of activities operates Dunedin Public Libraries, the
Dunedin Public Art Gallery, the Toitū Otago Settlers
Museum, the Lan Yuan Dunedin Chinese Garden and Olveston Historic Home.
Residents’ Opinion Survey
5 The
Residents’ Opinion Survey (ROS) is the principal mechanism by which the
Council measures residents’ satisfaction with a wide range of its
activities.
6 The
ROS is conducted on a continuous monthly basis, aiming to obtain around 100
responses each month, resulting in a sample size of around 1,200 for the
year. This gives a quarterly sample size of around 300 residents. A
sample size of 300 has an expected margin of error (at the 95% confidence
interval) of ± 5.7%, whereas the annual result for 2018/19 had a margin
of error of ± 2.2% (at the 90% confidence level).
7 The
ROS asks respondents to rate their satisfaction levels on a scale
from 1-10 from very dissatisfied to very satisfied. Results are now
provided in the quarterly reports for three categories; satisfied/very
satisfied, neutral and dissatisfied/very dissatisfied.
8 The
lower results reported for previous time periods are due at least in part to
changes in the way these measures are reported.
9 The ROS was temporarily suspended during the July to September 2020
quarter due to an operational issue. The ROS resumed in October 2020,
with data sampling increased for the October and December 2020 quarter to
obtain appropriate sample numbers for the July to December 2020 period.
These results are reported in this quarter, and data sampling resumed as normal
from January 2021 onwards.
DISCUSSION
Some
Key ROS Results
Sense of Community
10 The
level of residents’ perception that there is a ‘Sense of community
within local neighbourhood’ has decreased by 6% points from the same
period last year.
Support for Festivals and Events
11 Satisfaction
with DCC’s support for ‘City Festivals and Events’ has
decreased by 11% points from the same period last year.
Satisfaction with Cultural Facilities
Dunedin Public
Libraries
12 There
was no change in satisfaction with ‘Dunedin Public Libraries’ from
the same period last year.
Dunedin Public Art
Gallery
13 Satisfaction
with ‘Dunedin Public Art Gallery’ has increased by 3% points from
the same period last year.
Toitū Otago
Settlers Museum
14 Satisfaction
with ‘Toitū Otago Settlers Museum’ has decreased by 2% points
from the same period last year.
Lan Yuan Dunedin
Chinese Garden
15 Satisfaction
with ‘Lan Yuan Dunedin Chinese Garden’ has decreased by 3% points
from the same period last year.
Dunedin Olveston
Historic Home
16 There
is no change in satisfaction with ‘Dunedin Olveston Historic Home’
from the same period last year.
Visitation Numbers
Dunedin Public
Libraries
17 A
total of 200,410 people visited Dunedin Public Libraries during this
quarter.
Public Programmes
18 A
total of 7,105 people attended public and lifelong learning programmes offered
by the Dunedin Public Libraries during the quarter. This is an increase
on the level of participation during the first quarter, which was impacted by
the cancellation of public programmes during Alert Level 2 from 12 August to 21
September 2020. The increased participation is also due to a greater
range of public programmes available, a number of which are now being developed
with the capacity for parallel or alternative digital delivery in the event of
future periods of lockdown or service disruption.
Dunedin Public Art
Gallery
19 The
number of visitors to Dunedin Public Art Gallery is below the corresponding
period last year by 21%. This is due to the fact that by this time last
year a number of cruise ships had visited Dunedin over the three month period,
which have not been present this year. However, anecdotal evidence
suggests that there have been a number of visitors coming to the Gallery as a
result of Ātete, Ralph Hotere exhibition.
Toitū Otago
Settlers Museum
20 The
number of visitors to Toitū Otago Settlers Museum is below the
corresponding period last year, due to the lack of international
visitors. Numbers were 37% down, which is similar to Lan Yuan Dunedin
Chinese Garden over the same period. December 2020 numbers were stronger
than October and November 2020 due to Pixie Town and those coming to have their
photo taken with Santa Claus.
Lan Yuan Dunedin
Chinese Garden
21 The
numbers for this quarter at the Lan Yuan Dunedin Chinese Garden are down 37%,
which matches that of Toitū Otago Settlers Museum, due to the lack of
international visitors.
Olveston Historic
Home
22 Olveston
has also experienced a reduction in visitor numbers compared to previous
years. However, revenue from events over the three months helped to
offset some of the financial impact this had on Olveston.
Major Initiatives
23 The
following section is not confined to the quarter ending December 2020 and
provides updates on the current status of the initiatives.
Community
South Dunedin
Library and Community Complex
24 The
Council approved a new build option at a meeting November 2020. Funding
of $11.56 million has been included in the draft 10 Year Plan 2021/31 budgets
to construct a new building in the 2023/24 year.
South Dunedin Future
(SDF) Project
27 The SDF community engagement continued during this
quarter. Between October and December 2020, a further 15 meetings were
held with community groups in the wider South Dunedin area, including churches,
social and recreational and Pāsifika community groups. The purpose of these ongoing meetings is to
talk face to face with as many community members as possible about the
challenges and opportunities facing the area. The DCC wants to build
awareness of the issues and develop good relationships, so the community is
engaged and can be part of future decision making. Staff from DCC and ORC
have met with a total of 45 community groups and other stakeholders throughout
2020. Staff have previously engaged with the DCC’s
Kaiwhakamāherehere on mana whenua involvement in the SDF programme and
this work is on-going.
28 Three
monthly SDF ‘drop in’ sessions in South Dunedin, and a public
pop-up in King Edward Street were held to gauge the level of community
knowledge about the programme and issues.
29 The
aim is to meet another 50 groups by May 2021 and to hold another three public
drop-in sessions to conclude the first phase of engagement.
St Clair – St
Kilda Coastal Plan and South Dunedin Future
30 Community
engagement on values (what people care about) for the St Clair – St Kilda
Coastal Plan was completed in December 2020. Staff are preparing for the
next round of community engagement on recommended management pathways in
February/March 2021. A report on all engagement feedback will be provided
to the Council in the first quarter of 2021.
Civic
Events
31 For the first time the DCC
livestreamed the city’s Armistice Day commemoration held on
11 November 2020, jointly held by the Council and Dunedin RSA at Queens
Gardens. Approximately 200 people attended the event at the Queens
Gardens.
32 On 28 November 2020 approximately
300 people attended the Christmas Tree lighting in the Octagon, which included
carols, performances and a craft stall designed to appeal to families of
younger children.
33 On 31 December 2020, New
Year’s Eve celebrations in the Octagon drew approximately 5,000
people. Despite the rain a successful evening was held, ending with the
annual firework display.
