Kaituhi | Author:                      Mike Richardson, Programme Delivery Manager – Community Facilities

Kaiwhakamana | AuthoriserSean Mallon, Group Manager Infrastructure and Asset Management

 

Te pūtake | Purpose

1        To update the Waikanae Community Board on progress with Te Ara Whetū and next steps.

Taunakitanga | RECOMMENDATIONS 

A.      That the Waikanae Community Board notes the progress to date and next steps as outlined below.

Tūāpapa | Background

2        On 31 August 2023 Council received a report summarising the community engagement process associated with a new Library. Council adopted Option 1 (refurbish and extend the former library) to enable and immediate start of the construction process.

3        On 21 March 2024 Council were introduced to Studio Pacific Architecture who have been awarded the design contract.  An update was provided on the building condition assessment.  It was noted that the initial seismic assessment was at 110%, however the more detailed seismic assessment had come back at 34%, which is in the earthquake prone category.

4        Studio Pacific Architecture have been working closely with the project engineers to determine the condition and capacity of the concrete structure and understand all potential design possibilities as a result of the reduced seismic capacity of the existing structure.

5        On 15 May 2024 Council accepted, from Te Ātiawa ki Whakarongotai, their gift of the name ‘Te Ara Whetū’ for the new Waikanae Library.

6        On 18 June 2024 Council were briefed with an update on the building structure condition and presented with four strategic concept options.

7        On 27 June 2024 Council approved proceeding with option four of the strategic concept options – extension above existing building with reduced Level 2. Council also noted the delay to the start of construction to mid-2025.

8        On 5 September 2024 Council were briefed on the concept design floorplans (refer Attachment 1) and were shown a concept design walkthrough video (available on Council’s website - Te Ara Whetū – a new library for Waikanae - Kāpiti Coast District Council (kapiticoast.govt.nz)

9        From Monday 9 to Saturday 14 September, the community was invited into the old library to view the concept designs.  The objectives of the engagement were to show people how their comments influenced the design, inform about next steps and timeline, and give them an opportunity to leave comments if they choose to.

10      Hundreds of people called in during the week. They were eager to see the proposed layout and liked what they saw.  We received 138 comments left on Post-It Notes which we have shared with Studio Pacific Architecture, as broken down below:

·    76 comments were general praise of the concept design

·    10 comments related to specific features

·    3 positive comments about the engagement process and 2 about the name

·    16 suggestions about the building

·    16 comments about the building’s operations

·    9 comments about the specific needs of teenagers

He take | issues

11      This is a progress update and there are no issues to highlight.

Ngā kōwhiringa | Options

12      This is an update and there are no decisions required.

ngā Mahi panuku | next steps

13      The project has moved from Concept Design into Preliminary Design. This phase of the project will get more specific about the building envelope and finishes (including the building’s façade).

14      By the end of 2024 we hope to have lodged the Resource Consent and completed Detailed Design.

15      In early 2025 we are aiming to be ready to tender for the main construction contractor.

16      Construction is currently anticipated to commence mid-2025 with an estimated construction period of 12-18 months. 

17      If all goes according to plan, we hope to be opening Te Ara Whetū to the public late 2026.

7.2         Update on 56-62 Main Road, Waikanae

Kaituhi | Author:                      Isaac Cant, Development Facilitation Lead

Kaiwhakamana | AuthoriserKris Pervan, Group Manager Strategy & Growth

 

Te pūtake | Purpose

1        To update the Waikanae Community Board on the property at 56-62 Main Road Waikanae, and work currently underway in relation to the proposed pop-up development.

 

Taunakitanga | RECOMMENDATIONS 

A.      That the Waikanae Community Board note the update on the property at 56-62 Main Road Waikanae and the proposed pop-up development.

B.      That that Waikanae Community Board provide any feedback for inclusion in next steps and further discussion with Council.

 

Tūāpapa | Background

2        In August 2024, an update was provided to the Waikanae Community Board on the property at 56-62 Main Road Waikanae and the proposed pop-up development. The update outlined the below points for consideration:

(a)     Pending any decision on the long-term use of the site, temporary usage opportunities have been explored with members of the local Waikanae community for the subject property. This occurred via Council’s existing communications channels, signage onsite and in discussion with the Waikanae Business Association. Feedback to date includes:

(i)      It was often difficult for small or new businesses to find space that was low risk and flexible to their needs.

(ii)     There is limited space currently available for businesses and community groups in the town centre, despite various buildings being empty for an extended period of time.

(b)     In order to understand how different uses could be accommodated on site in a low cost and flexible approach we have engaged, a local architect, Rosalind Darby to assist with potential site options, including options to provide temporary green / open space for other users in the area. The brief for this work includes:

(i)      Options for the design of the short-term activity to activate the town centre, and to support potential longer-term use of the site.

(ii)     The potential for future movement through the site to the proposed library and other parts of the town centre.

(c)     A copy of the draft, high-level concept developed was shared with the community board. The proposed design includes the use of converted shipping containers linked together by temporary walkways and overhead sails providing some shelter which are all designed to create a collaborative and interactive environment.

(d)     Council officers have been working through the logistics of establishing the pop up space, which have included getting the necessary regulatory approvals.

 

 

 

He take | issues

3        The steps to establish the pop-up development have taken longer than expected and as a result this will impact the opening of the pop-up space, which is now expected to be early 2025.

Ngā kōwhiringa | Options

4        This paper provides you with an update on the property at 56-62 Main Road Waikanae and the proposed pop-up development.

5        Since the previous update the layout of the site has now been confirmed and is in general accordance with the high-level layout shown in Attachment 1. While some changes have been made to reduce costs, the overall look, feel, and function remain consistent with the initial concept.

6        Modified shipping containers were selected for use as the temporary buildings for the site, which were the most affordable and easily relocatable option.

7        The modifications required to the units are nearing completion and are expected to be ready by the end of November - see Attachment 2.

8        It was confirmed that a Building Consent would be required for the site due to the public accessibility requirements and plumbing/drainage works. The Building Consent has been lodged and is currently being processed by Councils Building Consent team. 

9        Once the Building Consent has been approved, site works will commence. This will include ground works for plumbing and drainage, foundations/footings for the units, and general site levelling. Following this the units will be delivered to site. Contractors have estimated that approximately six weeks will be required to complete site works and place the units onsite.

10      Council has recently been in discussion with the Kāpiti Public Art Panel regarding opportunities around the wider site, including the exterior of the units. There is support from the Public Art Panel for the activation as an Art Panel project.

11      Discussions are also continuing with various other Partners / stakeholders, including the Waikanae Business Association and Iwi.

 

ngā Mahi panuku | next steps

12      Proposed next steps are:

(a)     Commence site works once Building Consent is granted. Initial works will include ground and civil works to install the infrastructure required to service the site.

(b)     Continue discussions with Iwi, the Kāpiti Public Art Panel and the Waikanae Business Association.

(c)     Organising community days prior to the opening for community working bees / activtions.

(d)     Release information for businesses and organisations about opportunities to occupy the site and confirm initial tenants.

A copy of the report and plan was circulated to the board. A project plan for the proposed play space upgrade under this Development Plan will be presented to the Capital Project Management Board (CPMB) shortly for approval. Following a presentation to the CPMB, there are constraints affecting the deliverability of a full Parks capital works program which has necessitated a reprioritisation of projects. The renewal of the Waikanae Park play space will be pushed out to year two of the Long-term Plan, however community engagement around design is still proposed to take place later this financial year.

Waikanae Visioning Work

A final draft Vision was approved by Council at its 24 October meeting for use in publication and development of a web page representing the Vision. This will be published mid-November. Planning for the next Stage of the Vision process has commenced and we will come back to the community for further engagement in the new year to help identify and test potential pathways with the community for “how” the Vision and supporting outcomes could be best achieved. It was acknowledged that this remains a live conversation with the community so this will develop further over time as we engage further.

Waimanu Lagoons Weir

The Waikanae Community Board recommended this matter to Council for action at the board meeting of 20 August 2024. This recommendation was considered at the Council meeting of 31 October 2024, where Council officers noted they had met with representatives of the Waimanu Lagoon Focus Group and agreed on a course of action to return the weir to effectively managing water levels. Further investigative work is required to determine the extent of the repair works needed. At this stage, an accurate timeframe for the works cannot be provided but once the investigative work is completed, Council officers will liaise with the focus group on an updated work program and timeline. The Council noted that Council officers are progressing the recommendations relating to the Waimanu Lagoon Weir.
