Community and Culture Activity Report for the period to 30 September 2021

Department: Arts and Culture, Dunedin Public Art Gallery, Ara Toi and Community and Planning

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          This report provides an update on progress towards achieving levels of service for the Galleries, Libraries and Museums, incorporating Ara Toi activities, and Community Development and Events, for the period 1 July 2021 to 30 September 2021, as provided in Attachment A and Attachment B.

2          As this is an administrative report only, there are no options or Summary of Considerations.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Committee:

Notes the update reports on the Galleries, Libraries and Museums, and Ara Toi activities as provided in Attachment A, and the Community Development and Events activities as provided in Attachment B.

 

DISCUSSION

3          The 10 year plan sets out the activities undertaken by Council.  Each activity has levels of service that describe what Council will provide to the community, along with measures and targets used to assess the level of achievement in delivering those activities.  Council reports on its achievement of all levels of service through its Annual Report.

4          Attachments A and B report on progress towards achieving the levels of service, measures and targets as detailed in the 10 year plan for Galleries, Libraries and Museums, and Ara Toi, and for Community Development and Events for the three months to 30 September 2021.  Information on specific areas of work is also provided.  This is a new approach to quarterly reporting.  It is an iterative process, where improvements and/or changes will be made to the reports as they are identified.  Consolidated budget information for each activity will be reported to the Finance and Council Controlled Organisations Committee. 

5          The Residents’ Opinion Survey (ROS) is used by Council to measure achievement of some of its levels of service, and the results from the survey are shown in the attached activity reports.  Respondents of the survey are asked to rate their satisfaction levels for some activities on a scale of 1-10 from very dissatisfied to very satisfied.

6          The survey is carried out on a continuous monthly basis, with the aim of getting 100 responses each month.  This provides a sample size of around 1,200 for the year, with 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%.

NEXT STEPS

7          An update report for the six months to 31 December 2021 will be presented to the first Committee meeting in 2022.

Housing Action Plan Update

Department: Property

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          This report provides an update on the Housing Action Plan (‘the Plan’).

 

2          There has been progress in some areas of the Plan, and these are shown in (Attachment A).

3          The Housing Action Plan Advisor (‘the Advisor’) has met with internal and external stakeholders to build an understanding of the Plan and to inform the development of a governance structure and work programme for the future.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Committee:

Notes the Housing Action Plan update.

 

BACKGROUND

4          The Plan was adopted by Council in May 2019 and sets out 16 actions aimed at providing increased and improved housing stock in Dunedin.  The actions address three key result areas: healthy housing, planning, and delivery.

5          Council agreed to take a stewardship role in implementing and advocating for the Plan, and since 2019 there has been progress on several of the 16 actions by departments across Council working together.

6          No overall project governance structure or work programme involving internal and external stakeholders currently exists.  In July 2021 a 2-year the Advisor role was created in the DCC (seconded from Kāinga Ora) to support coordinated cross sector work on housing development, and to develop the Plan project governance structure and work programme.

7          Since mid-2020 Property Services staff have been undertaking a review of the Dunedin City Council Housing Policy 1997 and Dunedin City Social Housing Strategy.  Updates on this work have previously been reported to Council.  This work will feed into the work of the Advisor and inform the implementation of the Plan.


 

DISCUSSION

Progress – achievements in the last 6 months

8          An overview of progress on the Plan since the last report to this Committee in early August is shown in (Attachment A).

9          Action Area 1 – Healthy Housing Recommendations: Promote Healthy Homes across all tenures

·    Planning and work towards upgrades of all DCC Community Housing continues.  $3 million is allocated in the 10 year plan 2021-31 for DCC Community Housing and Healthy Homes work.  This work includes heating, ventilation and draught stopping. 

·    Approximately 30% of DCC Community Housing stock has now been audited, and improvement work have commenced to meet Healthy Home standards.  Twenty-eight properties have been updated within the last six months and are on target to meet the Residential Tenancies (Healthy Homes Standards) Regulations 2019 by July 2024. 

10        Action Area 2 – Planning Recommendations: Leadership to Deliver Community Outcomes

·    Kāinga Ora and DCC staff had an initial meeting on 7 October 2021 to identify sites where “Off Site Manufactured” homes could be utilised.  “Off Site Manufacturing” options include components of homes to complete builds.

·    2GP Variation 2 - An update on 2GP Variation 2 is being presented to the Planning and Environment Committee on 2 November 2021 in the Community and Planning Quarterly Report.  The first hearing was held in September 2021, and further hearings are scheduled for November and December, and early 2022.

11        Action area 3 – Delivery Recommendations: Building Homes to Meet Community Need

·    The DCC has taken part in a Housing and Urban Design review completed by PWC NZ.   This included financial information, physical status of the portfolio and general information (tenant profile, waiting lists).

Housing Action Plan – future governance and project plan

12        Since being appointed in July 2021, the Advisor has met with internal DCC stakeholders and has commenced meetings with external stakeholders.  The purpose of these meetings is to understand the development of the Plan and progress to date, to discuss options for a future project governance structure and a work programme that involves all stakeholders, and to understand opportunities to ensure that the Plan continues to respond to current housing issues across the city.

13        The Advisor will work with the Manahautū - General Manager Māori, Partnerships & Policy to ensure early engagement with mana whenua.

14        The Advisor has also commenced a review of housing plans and strategies from across the local government and NGO sectors to ensure that we can learn from local and international best practice.

15        A work programme and proposed governance structure is being developed, and this will be reported to the Committee in early 2022.

16        To ensure that the future governance structure and work programme addresses all level of housing need across the city, the Advisor is using a Housing Adequacy Framework (figure 1 below).  This has been adapted from Community Housing Aotearoa and adopted by a number of councils including the Hamilton City Council, to provide an initial structure.

17        The framework clusters housing need and ensures that consultation and solutions will be targeted to the specific needs, concerns, and challenges within each group.  The clusters have been placed on a continuum from those most vulnerable to the most secure. 

18        Further work, in partnership with mana whenua and mataawaka, is required to ensure that any housing continuum framework that the DCC utilises also supports Māori housing models, works alongside iwi and Māori led initiatives, and meets diverse cultural and household type needs.

Figure 1

OPTIONS

19        As this report provides an update on a work programme, there are no options.

NEXT STEPS

20        The Advisor to continue information gathering and discussions with external stakeholders into early 2022.

21        Development of the Plan governance structure and work programme, to be presented to the Community and Culture Committee in early 2022.
