in Mangawhero Reserve, Ohakune
Purpose of Report
1.1 The purpose of this report is to advise Members that Sheila and Mark Masters will

Mangawhero Reserve, Ohakune.
Significance and Engagement, Social Impact
2.1 The decisions requested of the Community Board do not trigger the Significance and
Engagement Policy 2018.
2.2 The decisions requested of the Community Board do not trigger the Social Policy
2018.
Background
3.1 A report was originally tabled at the 6 May meeting of the Waimarino-Waiouru
Community Board, seeking the Board’s approval for permission to remove three
Silver Birch trees at Mangawhero Reserve, Ohakune.
3.2 The reason for the Silver Birch’s removal presented was that the property owner is

branches will interfere with the addition.
3.3 The Community Board resolved not to approve the removal of the trees.
Discussion
4.1 Following the Board’s resolution, the property owners have met on site with John

specimen trees, a minimum height of two metres in height at planting, and are
happy to be guided by Council in terms of the appropriate species.

1. Proposal to Remove Trees in Mangawhero Reserve Adjacent 3 Tay Street, Ohakune15
ATTACHMENT
PROPOSAL TO REMOVE TREES IN MANGAWHERO
RESERVE ADJACENT 3 TAY STREET, OHAKUNE
1. Background
An application was made to the remove three trees in the Mangawhero Reserve in
April 2021 and a report was presented to the Waimarino-Waiouru Community Board
(WWCB) on 6 May 2021. The reporting officer, Rina Hepi recommended approval to
remove the trees, but the WWCB resolved not to approve the removal of the trees.
We request that the proposal be re-submitted to the Waimarino-Waiouru Community
Board for re-consideration.
2. The Proposal
The proposal is to remove four trees in legal road reserve adjacent 3 Tay Street,
Ohakune.
The trees are identified on the plan below and include three silver birch (#1,2, &4)
and one larch (#3).
Images of the trees are included over.16
ATTACHMENT
The reason for the tree removal is:
(a) The trees are not good specimens, are all multi leaders and appear to have
grown from wind-blown seedlings, rather than being intentionally planted.
(b) A recent storm blew the top out of birch #2, with the top falling into our property.
(c) There is evidence of insect damage (see below) indicating this may occur on the
others.
(d) Trimming trees over the boundary would result in unbalanced trees.
(e) The majority of the trunk of the larch (#3) is over our boundary, and while we
could legally trim it, the outcome would not be good for the tree. In our opinion, a
better outcome would be to remove the tree and plant an appropriate species in
an appropriate location.17 ATTACHMENT 3. Mitigation We propose to provide mitigation in the form of four eco-sourced specimen trees, a minimum height of 2m high at planting. We are happy to be guided by Council in terms of the appropriate species. If Council policies allow, we are happy to buy, plant and stake these trees ourselves(and if they die, to replace them), or in the alternate, pay the necessary contribution to enable Council contractors to do the work. We have already undertaken removal of blackberry, convolvulus and other weeds from along the boundary and within the Council reserve. We will continue to keep thisunder control. We are also happy to remove the broom and dead willow from within the Council reserve close to our property. 4. Consultation Following the Board resolution, we have met on site with John Hotter (Chair) andAllan Whale (12 June 2021) to discuss the proposal. We also discussed the proposal with Councillor Rabbit Nottage on site on a fewweeks earlier. 5. Conclusion It is our submission that the trees proposed to be removed are not good specimens,and that their removal and replanting of four appropriate trees in an appropriate location will enhance the amenity of Mangawhero Reserve.

Report to: Waimarino-Waiouru Community Board
Meeting Date: 5 August 2021
Subject: Making Submissions to Community Boards
Purpose of Report
1.1 The purpose of this report is to present the attached information the attached information from
Community Board member John Chapman in regards to submissions made to Community
Boards.
Significance and Engagement, Social Impact
2.1 Significance and Engagement
The decisions requested of the Waimarino-Waiouru Community Board do not trigger the
Significance and Engagement Policy 2018.
2.2 Social Impact
The decisions requested of the Waimarino-Waiouru Community Board do not trigger the Social
Policy 2018.
Background
3.1 Typically Council prefers to receive submissions through a formal submission process such as
an Annual Plan or Long Term Plan.
3.2 As part of formal submission processes Members of the Public can also choose to speak in
support of their submission at the hearing of the matter.
3.3 If the scope of works or issue wishing to be raises sits outside of a formal submission process,
or the timing is not appropriate, Members of the public can request to speak at a Council,
Community Board or Ward Committee Meeting.
3.4 At each meeting, there is an opportunity for Members of the Public to bring matters of concern
to Elected Representatives through a Public Forum, Deputation, or Petition.
3.5 Council, Committee, Community Board and Ward Committee Meetings are run in accordance
with Standing Orders as adopted at the beginning of the triennium. Standing Orders are a set
of rules that provide a formal framework for the conduct of local authority meetings.
3.6 Standing Order 14 sets out good practice for Public Forums. A Public Forum provides the
opportunity to present opinions and to bring matters, not necessarily on the meeting's agenda,
to the attention of Council. No debate or decisions will be made at the meeting on issues
presented, however, the Elected Representatives may request matters for action be referred
to the Chief Executive for further investigation.
3.7 Standing Order 15 sets out good practice for Deputations. The purpose of a deputation is to
enable a person, group or organisation to make a presentation to a meeting on a matter or
matters covered by that meeting’s terms of reference. Deputations are approved by the
Chairperson or an official with delegated authority.19
3.8 Where a person, group or organisation is seeking a decision to be made by Council, it would
be recommended that a Deputation is made. From there Elected Representatives can make a
decision on the Deputation that will either start a process, or an internal work stream if adopted.
Discussion
4.1 Attached to this cover report is information from Waimarino-Waiouru Community Board
Member John Chapman regarding feedback received on submitters’ experiences.
4.2 Member Chapman proposes the Suggested Resolution (2) below.
Suggested Resolution(s)
1 That the Report Making Submissions to Community Boards be received.
2 That the Waimarino-Waiouru Community Board urges Council to review its policy around
public submissions to include advice on the suitability of a submission, how best a submitter
can present to achieve a positive outcome, and to ensure feedback on decisions taken as a
result of the submission in a timely manner.

ATTACHMENT
Making submissions to community boards
One of the key aspects to our role as community boards is to be the eyes and ears of council in support
of the communities we serve. A key aspect of that role is hearing presentations from members of the
public. In that regard I’ve had an almost unanimous negative feedback from members of the public and
local organisations who have submitted to our boards. Localism plays a key role in our community
involvement, and with the coming local government review, it is in my view time to take a close look at
how we respond to entreaties from our communities. The main concern from residents and groups I
have spoken with is that once a submission is made there is no feedback whatsoever. The request for
help, assistance, funding or whatever disappears as though it had never taken place. This needs to
change, we need a process whereby respondents from our communities are given feedback in a timely
manner on outcomes from their submission.
Currently Council does have a page on its website setting out basic information on how members of
the public can address Council or our Boards either informally or as a petition or submission.
Unfortunately it offers no advice on what is the best way to approach Council with a particular issue and
how to go about it. In this we need to be more accessible and open in assisting people with achieving
a successful outcome.
For most people approaching Council with an issue of concern is a daunting prospect, for the most part
not taken lightly. We should endeavour to ensure that the process is a positive experience that reflects
a commitment to serving our communities. Accordingly I move the following resolution.
“This Board urges Council to review its policy around public submissions to include advice on the
suitability of a submission, how best a submitter can present to achieve a positive outcome, and to
ensure feedback on decisions taken as a result of the submission in timely manner”

2.2.1 Formal consultation on the Council’s initial proposal will take place in September in line with
the requirements of the Local Electoral Act 2001.
2.3 Social Impact
This report does not trigger the Social Policy, however it is an important issue for the
community.
Background
3.1 Council is required to undertake a review of current representation arrangements in
Ruapehu District prior to the 2022 local elections as it is now six years from its last
review. In any event, it would have been required to undertake a review for these
elections given its recent decision to introduce Māori Wards.
3.2 As part of its review, Council must consider whether there should be Community Boards
in the district in light of the principle of “fair and effective representation for individuals
and communities”.
3.3 After Council decides its initial representation proposal, it will be subject to a submissions
and hearings process. Following the consideration of submissions, Council will then adopt
a final proposal. If there are appeals or objections against the final proposal, a determination
will be made by the Local Government Commission (LGC).
3.4 Past appeals/objections have centred on Community Boards and communities of interest
in Ruapehu District.22
3.5 The LGC’s representation review guidelines state: “The steps in the process for achieving
effective and fair representation are not statutorily prescribed. The Commission believes
that the following approach to determining representation arrangements will achieve a
robust outcome that is in accordance with the statutory criteria:
• identify the district’s communities of interest
• determine the best means of providing effective representation of the communities of
interest
• determine fair representation for electors of the district”.
3.6 In 2010, there was strong opposition to disestablishing the Community Boards from the
community. The LGC subsequently determined that they should be retained and included
the following comment supporting the National Park Community Board:
“We believe that, in the context of Ruapehu District, the area of the National Park
Community Board is sufficiently distinct to warrant continued community board
representation”.
3.7 It also made the following further comment supporting the Waimarino-Waiouru Community
Board:
“Given the nature of the Waimarino-Waiouru community, we believe that a
governance structure below the district-wide level assists in dealing with local issues
and in facilitating local democratic decision-making”.
Discussion
4.1 Council must consider whether there should be Community Boards in Ruapehu District as
part of its representation review. Community Boards are a means of assisting the Council
to meet the purpose of local government (i.e. enabling local decision-making and promoting
community well-being) and also achieve certain principles (e.g. engaging with and taking
account of the diversity of communities and community interests in its decision making).
4.2 Under the Local Electoral Act, Community Boards can assist in the achievement of effective
representation of communities. In particular, they can be a good option where Council may
be considering either larger wards or ‘at large’ Council representation.
4.3 If there are wards, Community Boards do not have to cover a whole ward. However,
consideration must be given to Ward and Community Board boundaries coinciding, where
practicable, to assist resident identification with their community of interest and also their
understanding of local electoral arrangements.
4.4 The vast majority of submitters in the recent pre-consultation supported Community Boards
in Ruapehu District including some proposing a board(s) for the Taumarunui and Ohura
Wards.
4.5 Council is considering its options for its initial representation proposal which will then be
consulted on with the community. The recommendations from the Community Boards will
be included in the report to the Council meeting on 25 August when Council will adopt its
initial proposal, along with the feedback from meetings with Māori and other community
members.

9 September Waimarino/Waiouru meeting (Raetihi)
16 September National Park meeting
22 September Taumarunui meeting
30 September Ohura meeting
8 October Consultation on initial representation proposal closes
20 October Hearings on submissions
10 November Council resolves final representation proposal
(no later than 19 Council gives notice of final proposal and right of appeal/objection
November)
4.7 Options for Community Boards
In recent discussions, Council has indicted that Community Boards should continue to have
a role in the representation of Ruapehu District. It has not discussed the option of
disestablishing the Community Boards. There was also strong feedback from the
community in the April Long Term Plan consultation to retain the Community Boards.
4.8 Council now invites the Community Boards to make recommendations. To assist their
consideration, some possible options for Community Boards have been identified. While
none of the options depend on what General Wards Council may decide for its initial
proposal, as noted it is preferable that any Ward/Community Board boundaries do align.
4.9 Based on the LGC’s good practice identified above, reviews should start with the
identification of communities of interest. Accordingly, the Community Board should first
consider whether the current Ward/Community Board area still reflects a distinct community
of interest? Should the current boundaries be retained or altered?
4.10 Some possible options
Based on the retention of existing boundaries, some possible options are:
4.10.1 Option 1: Status Quo
This option is for the National Park and the Waimarino-Waiouru Community Boards to
remain as currently constituted.
4.10.2 Option 2: One Additional Community Board
This option is the status quo plus an additional Community Board in the North
(Taumarunui/Ohura) replacing the existing Ward Committee.
Representation Review Report
324
4.10.3 Option 3: Two New Community Boards
This option is to have two Community Boards covering all of Ruapehu District. One
possibility is for a board to cover National Park and Waimarino/Waiouru and one board to
cover the Taumarunui/Ohura area.
4.10.4 Option 4: Four Community Boards
This option is to have four Community Boards: one covering the rural north (Ohura,
Ngapuke area), one covering the Taumarunui urban area, along with the two existing
Community Boards for National Park and Waimarino-Waiouru.
4.11 The number of members on each Community Board will also be a decision that Council will
need to make. Under the Local Electoral Act, Community Boards can have between 4 and
12 members. There must be a minimum of four elected members. There may also be
appointed members, i.e. Councillors for the area, who must comprise less than half the total
number of members.
4.12 Traditionally, Ruapehu has had 4 elected members per community board and at least one
appointed member.
4.13 Consideration needs to be given to what would be appropriate Community Board
representation. While there is no “right” number, the current number, (4) plus a Councillor,
has been seen to work well in the past. It is noted that past elections have seen some issues
around filling all the available seats.
Suggested Resolution(s)
1 That the report on Representation Review be received.
2 That the Waimarino-Waiouru Community Board recommends that Council adopts a
particular Community Board option for its initial representation proposal for consultation with
the community.
