CHAIR AND
     CHIEF EXECUTIVE
     OVERVIEW
    This is the second Annual Plan under our revised and extended strategy which
    covers 2019 to 2029. In accordance with our strategy we use past, present and
    future Kiwi technology and ingenuity to educate and inspire the next generation
    of innovators. The reason for this focus is that our nation has a rich history of
    technological innovation and ingenuity, starting with the tangata whenua who used
    cutting edge waka to sail across the Pacific to Aotearoa, and used their ingenuity to
    adapt their technology and skills to thrive in their new home.

    Our approach is reflected in the Māori proverb “Kia      The Approach 2 projects include:
    whakatōmuri te haere whakamua” (My past is my              1. Acoustic, thermal and weathertightness

included the additional $800,000 in 2021–2022 for
Stage Two of the project. Any support from third
parties will reduce the level of the levy we require in
2021–2022.

Looking forward, we have a number of challenges
ahead, due to the current and proposed works at
the Western Springs Stadium, Watercare’s Central
Interceptor Works, the work we intend to undertake,
dealing with the subsidence and other challenges
associated with buildings located on a closed landfill
site and the increasing cost of maintaining aging
buildings and infrastructure.

While the proposed car park at MOTAT2, the SciTech
Centre and the other initiatives we are working on
(e.g. a joint ticket with the Auckland Zoo) will help
mitigate the impact of these challenges on our
visitors, it is anticipated that the projected growth
in attendance and the associated revenue may be
adversely affected.

levy over the next few years so that we have
sufficient funds to address the subsidence and other
challenges we are encountering, and to ensure that
our buildings and infrastructure are fit for purpose.

On a more exciting note we are exploring with
Regional Facilities Auckland and several other
stakeholders, whether we can create a science,
technology and ecological hub in the Western
Springs precinct by leveraging off the combined
strengths and knowledge of MOTAT, Auckland Zoo
and Auckland Parks and the unique attributes of the
precinct. This would not only be a unique proposition
for Auckland but also for Aotearoa and would send a
clear message that Auckland Council (and hopefully
the Government), MOTAT and partners take climate
change seriously and are working together to
facilitate change by identifying the issues and the
associated science, technology and innovations that
our respective audiences can and should be using to
address the problem.

We will also continue to use our resources and

The process of developing micro-credentials for
the tramways qualifications involves sharing our
current knowledge and documentation with Otago
Polytechnic and working with them to identify the
assessment tasks, the evidence that will be required,
and the methodology for providing that evidence.
Once this process is complete, Otago Polytechnic
obtains the resulting qualification validated and
accredited within the National Qualifications
Framework.

Each micro-credential will require about 10 hours
of learning and will be designed to be significant in
itself rather than a stepping stone to a subsequent
qualification, however, they can count towards a
larger qualification or be transferred into another
body of learning. And because they reduce the
investment of time and money required to learn a
new skill, micro-credentials can reduce the barriers
to learning and encourage life-long learning.

It is anticipated that we will identify knowledge,
skills and other information that MOTAT needs and
we will identify the best way to address those gaps
going forward.

BICULTURALISM
For some time we have been promoting a bicultural
approach, that recognises the importance of tikanga

operations and the taonga preserved by MOTAT.
This approach will continue during the financial year
so that biculturalism becomes embedded into our
culture and becomes part of our DNA.

Members of the MOTAT Team have been
undertaking te reo Māori lessons and we have also
won awards for the way that that we “weave” te reo
Māori into our exhibitions and other experiences.

wellbeing of the MOTAT Team and our visitors.

This builds on the successful establishment over the
last few years of a strong Health and Safety culture
at MOTAT that has been reflected in a significant
drop in lost time injuries and the MOTAT Team
