“The challenge…is that the benefits of art, and of culture are not always readily available to every New Zealander. They should be.”
“I want to see a country where the creativity and joy that comes from the arts is available to the many, not reserved for a privileged few. I want to see a country where the arts flourish and breathe life into, well, everyday life. I want to see a country where the arts are available to us all and help us express ourselves as unique individuals, brought together in diverse communities.”
“We live in a country abundant in creativity. As the Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage, and as Prime Minister, I want to make sure the arts are accessible to all, that the arts are seen as a viable career for our young people and that everyone, especially our decision makers, appreciate how the arts – and all that sits alongside them – truly enrich our lives.”
Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern

– “The Papanui-Innes Community Board and Governance Team see Richmond as a priority area, researcher Sarah Wylie will look at the strengths, needs and gaps of the area.
Specifically, the research will fulfil the following objectives:
(a) Provide an accurate demographic profile of Richmond and identify future demographic trends of this community, drawing on 2018 Census data.
(b) Create a profile of existing recreation, sports and arts and social and health agencies in the community.
(c) Profile residents’ existing access to recreation, parks, sports, arts, health and social services and potential future demand for these services, focusing especially on the way residents are interfacing with Council assets and services: what is working well, and what would make this community better.
(d) Develop a document that will assist with future planning for Richmond, taking into account barriers to access, and future patterns of access fort different services.
(e) Gaps and issues in existing provision of services will be identified.
(f) Gather information that can inform future uses of the former Shirley Community Centre site.”

Prepared for Community Governance Team, Coastal Burwood
By Sarah Wylie
Pg 102 “Strong feedback came through supporting development of a community hub facility serving Burwood, Avondale and Dallington.
The former Burwood School site was identified as the best location for this, close to All Saints Church, another key amenity in the area.
Demand was identified for smaller meeting spaces and accompanying kitchen able to cater for group activities, particularly for older adults.”

“That the Coastal-Burwood Community Board resolved to:
1. Receive the ‘Research Report: Coastal-Burwood Community Facility Needs Assessment’ prepared by Sarah Wylie, Independent Social Researcher in September 2017.
2. Support the provision for an Avondale-Burwood-Dallington Community Facility.
3. Send the Facilities Needs Assessment report to Regenerate Christchurch and the Ministry of Education.”

“Many in our community are still practically, visually and mentally dealing with the impacts from the Canterbury earthquakes on a daily basis.”
“Facilities: The areas of Avondale, Dallington and Burwood were impacted severely by the Canterbury Earthquakes.
We feel the most important project is providing an area-wide Community Meeting Facility that would be accessible to these three suburbs.
This has been highlighted as a need by the many community organisations and community leaders in the ‘2017 Coastal/Burwood Wards Needs Analysis.’
To support this study, the Board has actioned a Feasibility Study to identify what a facility would consist of.
The Board would like to see funding in this LTP contributing to a community-led project to establish a ‘fit for purpose community centre.’
Further, with land options on council-owned land appropriately located, one location has been brought to our attention. This being part of the former Burwood School Site which is currently in the disposal process by Ministry of Education and LINZ.
We feel it is a high priority for Council to investigate this location with the aim of securing this for building of the facility.”

“5. Deputations by Appointment
Burwood/Avondale/Dallington Group – Burwood/Avondale/Dallington Community Hub, Bebe Frayle and David Collins will speak on behalf of the Burwood/Avondale/Dallington Group regarding the Burwood/Avondale/Dallington Community Hub.”
“5.4.1 Burwood, Avondale and Dallington Community Group
The Burwood, Avondale and Dallington community group meetings continue to happen monthly. The group is supported by Coastal-Burwood Community Governance staff and Board members. The group are currently organising three community events, one in each area as well as a combined event to be held in March of 2019.
The group are completing a feasibility study with regards to having a combined Community Hub to collectively service the three suburbs. The Burwood, Avondale and Dallington areas have dramatically reduced community spaces/places as a result of the 2010/2011 earthquakes with approximately over half of the land and housing lost to the red zone.”

An Inventory of Community-led and Non-governmental Organisations and Initiatives in Post-earthquake Canterbury (to September 2013)

“This inventory lists some of the thousands of community-led groups and initiatives across the region that have developed or evolved as a result of the quake. This inventory is the third such inventory to have been produced.
The Christchurch Earthquake Activity Inventory was released by Landcare Research in May 2011, three months after the devastating 22 February 2011 earthquake. The second inventory, entitled ‘An Inventory of Community-led Recovery Initiatives in Canterbury’, was collated by Bailey Peryman and Dr Suzanne Vallance (Lincoln University) approximately one year after the February earthquake.
The research for this third inventory was undertaken over a four month period from June to September 2013, and was conducted primarily through online searches.”
