Age Concern Positive Ageing Expo 3 March 2016

Application forms for Ashburton District Council’s community grants and funding are now available.

The forms are available earlier than usual this year as part of Council’s changes to the 2016/17 community grants and funding process. The changes will affect people applying for funding of projects or programmes they intend to run in the 2016/17 financial year (July to June).

Three information seminars were held

by Council in January and February to explain the changes to community groups and organisations.

More than 100 people attended the seminars to learn about the new process.

Council’s Research and Monitoring Advisor Toni Durham says people were particularly interested in finding out when they needed to apply and to checking that they were applying to the correct funding category.

There are now five funding categories for all community grants. These ashburtondc.govt.nz

are arts and culture; sports and recreation; economic development and events; community projects; and natural and built environment.

community group, as the annual plan process will instead focus on getting feedback from the community on Council’s plans for its activities.

The natural and built environment category covers heritage and biodiversity grants and includes community infrastructure grants for facilities such as community and memorial halls, reserve boards and community swimming pools. The grants are for minor enhancements like painting.

The Creative Communities and Sport New Zealand Rural Travel Fund are not affected by these changes.

12 March 2016

Applications for all community grants are open until 5pm on 29 February 2016. Funding will be allocated in July 2016 for the financial year. In the natural and built environment category, biodiversity and heritage grants will have another funding round in July/August but the other four categories have only one application round.

“Previously, community grant applications opened in August and funding was distributed in September,” Mrs Durham says. “The changes enable community grants to be included in the annual plan process, meaning that Council will be able to consider increasing funding if there are worthy applications.”

The changes will also make the process clearer for both Council and applicants.

Separate individual approaches for funding to the annual plan process will no longer be required by any

During 2015/16, Council will spend more than $1.3 million on grants and funding for organisations that are extending their reach into the community and supporting community wellbeing.

Further information about the community grants and funding can be found online at www.ashburtondc. govt.nz, by popping into Council, or by contacting Council on 03 307 7700.

FLAG REFERENDUM / COMMUNITY SAFETY CAMPAIGN

DISTRICT DIARY

Council flies flags to help Ashburton people decide Both flags in the upcoming New Zealand flag referendum are being flown in Baring Square West to help local people decide which one they prefer.

Mayor Angus McKay says the flags are being flown during business hours to “give people an opportunity to really decide which one they like best” before they vote in March.

The flagpoles, which are on Council land, are the most prominent in the district. “Out of courtesy we consulted with the RSA in relation to flying both flags and they supported us because of the national significance of this project,” Mr McKay says.

The two flags include the existing New Zealand flag, which was adopted in 1902 and features the Union Jack and four stars

representing the Southern Cross constellation.

The second flag was the most preferred alternative from five options presented to the New Zealand public late last year.

Known as the ‘Silver Fern Flag’, its dominant feature is a diagonal white fern sitting on a black and blue background. The four stars of the Southern Cross constellation are also part of the design.

The New Zealand public will be able to vote in the flag referendum from 3 to 24 March.

To take part, you must be correctly enrolled before voting starts. Enrol, check or update your details now to make sure that you’re correctly enrolled and your papers will go to the right address. You can do this online or by calling 0800 36 76 56.

Community campaign off to a successful start A joint community safety campaign has helped to reduce alcohol-related harm in the CBD over summer, Police and Safer Ashburton say.

Ashburton District Council, the Police, Safer Ashburton and other community agencies have been working together to target alcohol-

related harm in the CBD and surrounding business area.

use of resources and to improve communication.

The joint campaign, Staying Safe This Summer, has been running over summer, focusing on reducing preloading, drink driving and alcoholrelated violence.

“It’s been working well,” he says.

“There’s definitely been a reduction in drink driving and street assaults.

I believe all the messages have hit home.”

Senior Sergeant Scott Banfield has been co-ordinating the efforts of various agencies to make better

Mr Banfield says with everyone; police officers, security staff, street ambassadors and volunteers -

working together, the team are engaging with and responding better to members of the public.

Safer Ashburton Manager Kevin Clifford says taking a co-ordinated approach has helped to prevent trouble. “There has been a greater visual presence. I think we can happily say our co-ordinated approach has assisted to keep things quiet.”

While the CBD hasn’t been as busy, there have still been a number of people out socialising at weekends.

“Our street ambassadors haven’t seen any serious incidents. We’re certainly seeing less violence but we’re remaining vigilant” says Mr Clifford.

As well as funding the Staying Safe This Summer campaign, Council has improved its liquor ban signage and reviewed its CCTV surveillance to help improve public safety in the CBD. Safer Ashburton street ambassadors have also started working with Ashburton Taxis to ensure people can get home quicker and safely.

Ashburton Taxis has made it a priority to clear the CBD after 3am.

NEW RECYCLING STATIONS / ECOMAILBOX / CCTV POLICY

New recycling stations for Ashburton District Ashburton District Council will soon install several new recycling stations in Ashburton, Methven, Rakaia and Hinds.

Thanks to more than $15,000 funding from The Packaging Forum’s Public Place Recycling Scheme, four stations will be installed in Ashburton, three each in Methven and Rakaia, and one in Hinds.

Each of the stations will include

a yellow-topped bin for mixed recyclables, a blue-topped bin for glass bottles and a red-topped bin for general rubbish. An additional bin for glass recycling will also be placed in Ashburton, on the edge of the liquor ban area, where bottles are often left on the street.

Council’s Waste Recovery Manager Craig Goodwin says the stations will be beneficial for the environment and convenient for the community.

“We are being careful to place them where they will be best used

but people will need to remember they are not for household or office rubbish.”

The Public Place Recycling Scheme, which is funded on a voluntary basis by the commercial sector, has given Council $15,630 towards the bins. The scheme aims to increase recycling and reduce litter in communities.

“Our Ashburton project is part of a wider Council strategy to change the way people deal with material

they want to discard, while they are out and about in our community. It would be great if people learned to take their rubbish home with them,” Mr Goodwin says.

“If we all disposed of our litter responsibly and made better use of the kerbside recycling collection, as well as the Resource Recovery Parks and Recycling Drop Off Sites, we would be able to reduce the number of litter bins and save ratepayers money,” he says.

Turn your mailbox into an Ecomailbox Instead of receiving advertising circulars in the mailbox, people can view the content on the Ecomailbox website.

Council’s Waste Recovery Manager Craig Goodwin says Ecomailbox reduces the amount of paper waste, but means people don’t have to miss out on specials.

“Council is always looking at ways we can minimise waste. Ecomailbox is a service that has been highly successful in other districts, so we are looking forward to seeing the effect it will have in Ashburton.”

Ashburton residents now have access to a new service aimed at reducing waste from unwanted circulars.

Council has partnered with Ecomailbox to provide a new, sustainable form of communication between retailers and customers.

How to use your free ecomailbox: • Collect a free ‘No Ad Mail’ sticker from Council’s reception at 5 Baring Square West • Place your sticker on your mailbox • Go to ecomailbox.co.nz and sign up • Select your favourite stores and organisations • Check your ecomailbox to see the latest promotions and news.

More than 150,000 ‘No Ad Mail’ stickers have been distributed nationwide.

The Ecomailbox website displays the latest deals and updates from retailers, daily deal sites, regional newspapers, travel sites, designers and boutique stores.

Anyone can pick up a free sticker from Council, even those who don’t want to view advertising material on the Ecomailbox website but are interested in reducing waste.

To complain about any mailbox sticker or sign being ignored, call the Junk Mail Complaints Hotline on 0800 111 081 during normal business hours.

Have your say on Council’s new CCTV policy Ashburton District Council is seeking public feedback from now until 4 March on its new CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) policy.

Under the new policy, the police will monitor the district’s CCTV cameras.

Recorded images will be stored securely, with access only available to authorised staff. All footage will be deleted after 30 days, unless needed for evidence. ashburtondc.govt.nz

Council’s Community Relations Manager Vincie Billante said consultation on the policy was important because the Council needed to know how people felt about the recording, storage and sharing of CCTV footage. “It is something that potentially involves everyone who visits Ashburton’s CBD.” People are invited to give their feedback on the new policy at ashburtondc.govt.nz/our-council/

have-your-say.

CCTV surveillance, operating in Ashburton’s CBD, is a Council-led initiative supported by the Police. Its purpose is to increase public safety; discourage crime; support the Police in evidence gathering; and protect Council assets and infrastructure.

Four cameras have recently been added to the CCTV system, joining a number of cameras already in operation in popular areas or near Council assets.

ROADING REQUESTS FOR SERVICE / NEW ROAD MARKINGS IN TINWALD / GRANT HELPS CHERTSEY SCHOOL

Council responds to roading complaints faster The majority of Ashburton residents are receiving a quicker response to their complaints about roading issues.

Last year, 98.3% of complaints were handled on time, compared with 87% in 2014 and 61% in 2013.

DISTRICT DIARY

Council’s Roading Manager Brian Fauth says until 2014, complaints were managed by an external consultant. In late 2013, Council decided to manage the complaints process itself so that complaints could be investigated immediately.

“Our team has been working hard to ensure that every complaint we

receive is investigated as soon as possible. Usually this happens on the same day or the day after.

“Changing the way we manage complaints has had a positive effect on the service we are able to provide to residents. We’ve seen a significant improvement in a short time.”

Almost 2000 complaints were received in 2013, while just over 1300 were received last year. The nature and number of complaints was affected largely by weather conditions, Mr Fauth says.

Complaints have related to issues such as signage, unsealed roads, flooding, street lights and potholes.

New road markings on State Highway 1 in Tinwald

Ashburton District Council is encouraging drivers to make use of new road markings on State Highway 1 in Tinwald.

Two sections of the flush median have been re-marked by the NZ Transport Agency to assist drivers to turn right from Wilkin Street onto the highway and turn right into Manchester Street from SH1.

The flush median was widened by about one metre, giving drivers more confidence to use it.

A flush median is a strip in the centre of the road that is marked with white diagonal lines within parallel lines. It provides a place for vehicles that are turning right, or vehicles that have turned right onto the road from a side road or driveway, to merge with the left-hand traffic stream.

Transport Agency Journey Manager Lee Wright says as well as widening the flush median to about three metres, the Transport Agency added a turning bay on SH1 for drivers to turn right into Manchester Street.

The turning bay into Wilkin Street was removed.

• It’s alright to drive on a flush median for a short distance if you’re turning into or out of a side road or driveway. You can use them to slow down before making a right-hand turn, or to merge left into a gap in the traffic flow.

“This will make it easier for drivers to turn right from Wilkin Street onto the highway and will encourage those heading to east Tinwald to use Manchester Street instead of Wilkin Street” he said.

• If you’re using the flush median to make a right-hand turn you should indicate, then steer gently onto the median rather than at an abrupt angle. Use the median as an area to slow down and brake. This way the following traffic doesn’t have to slow down rapidly to avoid you.

Cycle lanes were also moved closer to the kerb and yellow no-stopping lines were added on SH1, to the left and right of Manchester Street.

Ashburton District Council Roading Manager Brian Fauth says drivers turning right onto SH1 from Wilkin Street should use the flush median. “The width is now more than sufficient to use for merging (like a zip) with the left-hand traffic stream.”

NZTA’s advice on how to use a flush median:

• Carry out a similar manoeuvre if you’re using the flush median as a refuge before merging into traffic on your left. Remember to indicate and check your mirrors, accelerate, and move gently into a gap in the traffic.

• When you’re using a flush median, always remember to watch out for pedestrians, other vehicles using the median and any raised islands.

Council grant helps students keep active Scooters were a popular choice at Chertsey School last week as students celebrated the opening of their newly resurfaced court.

The project, funded in part by a Council community grant, involved resealing and repainting the court, which was previously covered in lichen, making it slippery and unsafe for winter play.

The repaint includes mini-ball court 4

lines, enabling the school’s two mini-ball teams to train at school.

It also features tennis court lines, which can be used by the wider community outside of school hours.

The school also received funds to install a cover for the heat exchanger pump in its pool.

Chertsey School Principal Sean Wansbrough invited Council to the opening, showing the positive outcomes achieved from the grant. ashburtondc.govt.nz

Ryan Hampton, Olivia Quinn and Rebecca Armstrong spent three to four months with Council, each working in a different teams.

Ryan worked as a parking warden, covering a staff member’s absence, and also worked in the property team’s business support area. One of his key responsibilities was to check lease agreements on Council-owned properties and manage queries about building on reserve land.

Rebecca, who is studying Environmental Management at Lincoln University, worked in Council’s Service Delivery team on a project that involved photographing the district’s protected/heritage trees and identifying Council signs in need of being updated.

“The summer students are always enthusiastic and willing to help, and other employees like getting to know them and working alongside them.”

In previous years, students who worked at Council were studying to be doctors, surveyors, engineers, foresters, lawyers, accountants and horticulturists.

Council’s People & Capability Manager Sarah Mosley says Council usually hosts two or three university students each year.

“The students often help our team with a project or assist with an aspect of a larger project. Having them on board not only gives them an opportunity to experience the working world, but also allows our staff to take on a coaching or

E-TENDERING / BUILDING NOTICEBOARD / MICHAEL HANRAHAN RETIRES

Council moves to e-tendering Ashburton District Council has moved to an e-tendering portal for all its major contracts to save time and costs for both Council and its suppliers.

To use the e-tender portal and to access Council’s tenders, suppliers must first register at the portal.

Registration is available to any interested parties, free of charge, within the e-tendering system at tenderlink.com/ashburtondc.

The change will mean Council will generally not advertise tenders in newspapers or provide hard copy tender documents.

Registered suppliers will receive email notifications of any new tenders Council publishes on the portal. Suppliers can then

download and view the documents electronically, and participate in forums to ask questions. Suppliers also receive a reminder about the tender, 24 hours before it closes.

Council began moving to the e-tendering portal in September.

Group Manager Service Delivery Neil McCann says Council has used the portal to advertise 11 tenders so

far and the process has been very successful.

For future tender opportunities, refer to Council’s e-tender portal tenderlink.com/ashburtondc, or Council’s website ashburtondc.govt.nz.

For more information or advice, email info@adc.govt.nz

Stay informed with Council’s Building Noticeboard A new online noticeboard for tradespeople, run by Ashburton District Council, is now available.

The noticeboard, on Council’s website, features information such as training opportunities, rule changes, important meetings and inspection details.

Photo: Fleur Mulligan checking out the Building noticeboard.

Council’s Building Systems Administrator Danielle McKain says the noticeboard will help to keep tradespeople, such as builders, designers and plumbers, up-to-date.

“This online noticeboard will ensure that we can distribute information quickly,” Mrs McKain says. “We encourage people in the industry to frequently check the page to see if there is anything that might affect them.”

Council will update the noticeboard regularly.

Ashburton Museum Manager to retire Ashburton Museum Manager Michael Hanrahan is retiring after nine years in the role.

He says the main highlight from his time at the Museum has been the people, including the Museum staff, volunteers, visitors, Ashburton Historical Society committees and business people.

After 22 years in farming and another 20 in journalism, Mr Hanrahan’s interest in history led him to the Museum. In December 2006, he was made Museum Manager.

Mr Hanrahan says he is particularly interested in history relating to family, vintage machinery, churches, society, and Ashburton.

“I can remember visiting Canterbury Museum’s centennial exhibition in 1950 and spending hours there.”

He joined the Ashburton Historical Society in 1972 when the Museum was in Pioneer Hall, a little brick building in Havelock Street. He served on the Society’s committee from 1978 to 2006. Between 1980 and 1986 he was the Society President, overseeing the conversion of the County Council building to the Museum & Art Gallery.

When asked what he will do when he is retired, he replies, “If that ever happens!”

He says he plans to spend more time with his family, particularly his grandchildren; gardening; working on hobby collections; volunteering at St Vincent de Paul; and cleaning out his garage.

The new Museum Manager, Tanya Robinson, will start on 21 March. ashburtondc.govt.nz

ASHBURTON ART GALLERY AND HERITAGE CENTRE

Ashburton Art Gallery update It was all about interaction and learning at the Art Gallery at the start of the New Year.

Our holiday programme was in full swing over January with numerous hands-on activities for the whole family. Many people learned about harakeke weaving and how to make an eight-point harakeke star. Inspiration was taken from artist Sopolemalama Filipe Tohi’s work, with numerous lashing/lalava style creations made throughout the summer.

If you didn’t get the chance to visit us in the holidays, remember that we have plenty of lively, thought-provoking and engaging exhibitions and programmes running this year.

Ashburton Museum anniversary With this issue of District Diary we mark the first year of the Ashburton Museum being open in its new building.

It’s been a great first year. The number of visitors has exceeded expectations and the comments many of them have left in the visitors’ book have been great. The number of visitors who have come from outside the district has been high.

In December and January that old favourite, the Great Santa Hunt, brought hundreds of people (not all of them children!) into the Museum to find the hidden Santa helpers.

On the collection front, things have also been very busy. The last of the material stored at the old building has arrived and the archives have finally been fully removed from the basement of the Council building.

It has been a busy but satisfying year. So, where to from here?

It would be easy to say ‘more of the same’ but with a new manager coming on board that is not likely.

We still have a large quantity ashburtondc.govt.nz

of Council’s archives, stored elsewhere in town, to bring in and process. We will still be mounting new exhibitions and we will still be refreshing parts of the main exhibition. As usual our volunteers will work on numerous tasks, including indexing many historical records.

That’s the basics, but we are sure Ashburton Museum will see some exciting and innovative changes.

The first short-term exhibition, starting later his month, is about funerals. We chose this because the Government is proposing to change the legislation that controls burials and cremations.

They are saying this is the first change to the process in 100 years but we aim to show that in that time funerals have changed markedly.

One of them is Bodytok Quintet: The Human Instrument Archive, an interactive sound and video exhibition that includes a collection of bodies, faces, legs, fingernails and teeth creating all sorts of sounds without the use of any objects or instruments. The body is the only tool available to the performers and the resulting symphony is surprising, funny

and, at times, difficult to watch.

This orchestra of everyday people is only motivated into action by the viewer. Visitors become the composers and through their own movement they can control the sonic interactions. This is a show for all ages that will enliven your sense of play.

Also on display is a significant touring exhibition of photographs

by Laurence Aberhart, one of New Zealand’s most important photographers. This exhibition contains more than 60 handprinted images which document war monuments from New Zealand and Australia. These works have intensity and richness, and provide us with a unique insight into the memorialisation of war. We are excited to be running a number of programmes associated with this exhibition to enable the community to learn about and honour the contribution and commitment made by our servicemen and women. Included in the line up are historical talks and a community-wide poppy project. See the exhibitions and events listings below for further details.

So, make sure you visit the Museum during its second year of operation in the new building.
