WHAT WE DO
This group of activities includes the wide range of parks, reserves, community facilities and amenities provided throughout the District for the public including:
• 815 hectares of parks and reserves (including 239 hectares at Moturoa/Rabbit Island, 13 formal gardens, 14 special interest sites, 20 sports grounds, 103 urban open space/amenity reserves, 46 walkways, 217 rural recreation and esplanade reserves, seven sports facilities and three non- commercial camping grounds);
• 115 hectares of land vested as esplanade strip;
• 12 operating and two closed cemeteries;
• 55 playgrounds;
• 102 public toilet facilities;
• Four libraries;
• Funding for District and Shared Facilities such as the Saxton Field complex;
• 18 community halls;
• Five multi-use community recreation centres;
• Two community centres;
• Three museums;
• Miscellaneous community buildings (eg Plunket rooms, former church);
• Eight community housing complexes (101 separate units in total); and
• The Richmond Aquatic Centre and three outdoor community swimming pools.
We also deliver Council’s communications and community partnership responsibilities in order to build a sense of community and pride of place in Tasman and to build capacity within Tasman community groups. We achieve this through engaging with community groups, providing community recreation opportunities and events, providing grant funding, and educating and facilitating partnerships between Council and its communities. Our Community Relations activities include:
• the provision of funding and advice for community initiatives and community organisations to enable them to achieve their objectives. Grants are predominately for ‘not for profit’ community and voluntary groups working for the benefit of Tasman District communities;
• community engagement – where we provide information to our community, enable debate and conversation and seek their views on Council’s proposals;
• the promotion and celebration of our history and diverse cultures through the support of organisations that preserve and display our region’s heritage;
• delivery of community and recreation activities and events funded either through rates or external sources, to promote a pride of place and community well-being; and
• providing an awareness of environmental and sustainability opportunities through environmental education programmes, to influence community behaviours and to meet Council’s Resource Management Act obligations in this field.
WHY WE DO IT
We directly provide and manage community and recreational facilities, for the people of Tasman District to use.
Community facilities are meeting points providing indoor space for community gatherings, events, and recreational, educational and social activities. They enable community-led development, with local people working together and bringing about changes in their environment. They help build neighbourhoods and settlements with strong identities. Our facilities offer Tasman residents the opportunity to engage socially in the places they live and work.
Libraries develop an informed community whose members are literate and inspired. By providing a quality library service, Council supports the
community’s cultural, social, learning and leisure needs, while also providing a collective resource that is greater than local families or individuals can afford.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Council provides the Richmond Aquatic Centre and community swimming pools to enable people to learn to swim, for physical recreation and leisure to promote community health and well-being.
Central Government previously granted Council subsidies and low cost loans to meet a specific need for low-cost, community-based housing for people on low incomes. Although Government support ended in 1992, Council has continued to provide housing for older adults to help meet this need. Council provides community housing for older adults on low incomes that is affordable, accessible and fit for purpose.
We also provide public toilets throughout the District to meet community and visitor needs.
The provision of open spaces and recreational facilities contributes to the development of healthy, active, functioning communities. Council recognises that it plays a key role in creating the environment in which communities can prosper and enjoy improved health and well-being. We therefore aim to ensure that adequate parks and reserves are provided for the community and that these are managed and maintained in a way that meets community expectations and encourages community involvement.
Council provides cemeteries that create an attractive, peaceful and respectful environment for the memorial and remembrance of the deceased. Council is legally required to provide cemeteries to ensure the burial and cremation needs of our District are met now, and in the future. Cemeteries are also provided for public health reasons and to provide a location for bereavement within close proximity to communities.
The Community Relations activities help promote the well-being of our community so that our communities:
• are informed about Council’s activities and have the opportunity to express their views on Council’s proposals. The decisions local authorities make affect their communities on a daily basis.
Effective community engagement builds trust and understanding in Council’s decision making, while also increasing Council’s awareness of issues in the community;
• are aware of what actions they can undertake to reduce their impact on the environment and to live in a more sustainable manner;
• are fit and healthy through the provision of recreation activities and programmes;
• have access to and support the protection of the District’s culture and heritage values and artefacts for the education and enjoyment of current and future generations; and
• receive funding and advice to assist and support the development of communities and the work voluntary organisations undertake within our communities.
