10.1 Submissions Hearing Report
Executive Summary
The consultation process whereby the public is invited to make submissions has been
undertaken on ten documents and is completed.
Consultation on the General Policies Reserve Management Plan commenced on 20 February
2019 and closed on 22 April 2019, allowing for a two-month submission period as required
under the section 41(6) Reserves Act 1977. Consultation on all other proposals opened on 20
March and closed 22 April 2019. Council has received 87 submissions, from 92 submitters,
difference in numbers is due to some submitters making multiple submissions and multiple
submitters using one submission form. Two late submissions have been received at time of
writing report and will be included in the attached documents any other late submissions
received will be circulated at the hearing. Graphs do not include any late submission details.
Council now needs to hear those who identified they wished to present their submissions, and
consider all the submissions received. A number of comments were also received via
Facebook, Council has previously decided that these would not be considered formal
submissions but that the information would be available to Council when making decisions.
These have been appended to the submissions document (see below).
The following documents have been circulated separately to the agenda, copies of the
consultative documents have been circulated with agendas previously.
• Attachment 1 - Submissions
• Attachment 2 - Submissions Additional Information (large submissions replicated in
full)
• Attachment 3 - Facebook Comments
• Attachment 4 - Hearing Schedule as at 7 May 2019
Once Council has made decisions on the submissions, the documents will be amended based
on the decisions made. Council may wish to adopt the proposals, subject to any amendments
at this meeting.
With respect to the Annual Plan 2019/20 on 12 December 2018 the Corporate and Operations
Committee resolved that the draft Annual Plan budget represents no significant or material
difference from Year 2 of the 2018-2028 LTP, and in light of that it would not conduct formal
consultation on the Plan.
Therefore, the Annual Plan 2019/20 has not been consulted on, but was made available during
the consultation period on Council’s website for public information (as per Corporate and
Operations Committee decision on 27 February). The Annual Plan 2019/20 will be adopted by
Council at a later date.

Oral submissions:
Submitter Gillian Beath: “I have run Spoilt Rotten Dog Grooming and have worked with dogs for
over 20 years. I deal with responsible dog owners from as far away as Tauranga, who go out of
their way to follow the rules and are concerned about their dog’s welfare. Over the years one thing
stands out to me more than any other about my customers concerns for their dog’s welfare. This is
also my concern. That there is nowhere safe in their local towns for dogs to be exercised. Many of
them own large dogs like mine that need to be able to run. Many people have spoken about
episodes of feeling threatened by people and other dogs while trying to exercise their own. A dog
park is an area of land which has exciting and stimulating things for a dog to enjoy. Some parks
have climbing frames and toys and tunnels, but an area with lots of trees and access to water, like
a creek, is just as exciting for a dog. But most importantly an area to run and play in. This area
needs to be securely fenced and preferably have a double gate system. All these things make for
a happy and contented dog who is less likely to cause problems at home and in the
neighbourhood.”
Submitter Sandy Barnes: “Area suggested - not inspiring, flat, no water, no shade etc. whereas
Gilchrist Street, Bowling Park area at blue bridge (submitter referred to the map below she handed
out). There is a river, interesting terrain, good parking at Gilchrist Street, away from housing.
Leeston Dog Park in the Selwyn District and one in Cambridge are good examples and would like
to have future funding put aside for this style of dog exercise area for all towns. Asking for
reconsideration of area proposing to Gilchrist Street area that Council owns, due to attraction for
the dogs.”

Council 15 May 2019 Image handed out by submitter Sandy Barnes Cr A Tanner: “Question on the aerial picture. If talking about the reserve were you meaning all or partial, with shading and car parking existing?” Submitter: “Down to Tui Park Bowling as has slopes, uneven ground, shading and can fit six cars maybe more if angle parking, I’m not suggesting the entire area.” Cr P Jager: “How would we fence the river part? How do we go about fencing it?” Submitter: “This would be their water source dogs don’t defecate in water.” Cr P Jager: “Would need area of containment, the river couldn’t contain them.” Submitter: “They would walk through it, the entire area is fenced, there would be some areas that may need fencing but no massive costs.” Cr P Cronin: “Dog fees on cost recovery basis 80% so there is not any excess are you aware of that?” Submitter: “Yes and I would be prepared to pay more for decent area, I can’t speak for Matamata and Morrinsville areas.” Cr P Cronin: “Were you aware of one of the reasons Council had selected the area was there is water available and we had discussed an agility facility be setup?” Submitter: “No I wasn’t aware.” Submitter Vicki Black: “I have a large dog trained on and off lead, which I pay to take to K9 Kennels twice a week and take for a walk around wetlands and at Wairongomai. They are lovely places to go for dogs and owners as a pack, same as at K9 Kennels they are a pack. A lot of dog issues are because dogs are fearful, I don’t let my dog drink from the wetlands as stagnant water from ducks etc., I take to boat ramp to swim and drink in the heat of summer. So the proposal of an area having no trees, no water lacks inspiration and is not somewhere I would go. I fear that as a large but not aggressive dog my dog would take the brunt of little/aggressive other dogs, and Minutes Page 8
Council 15 May 2019 sometimes as a woman by myself I let my dog off leash and if someone approaches I leash him. He alerts me when someone is there, crouches to warn me and I leash him. I’m interested in an area I can let my dog off. Tui Park is on a month by month lease, it is fenced externally and historically there was access from Centennial Rose Garden. So no significant cost to create a walkway from Centennial to Gilchrist. When my dog defecates it is usually at home it is in a dogs nature not to defecate around water as opposed to cattle so give access to stream. A loop would allow current activities to continue, grazing leases on the lower and upper reserve so would suggest the upper lease could continue. I have read a lot of hate speech to dog owners on social media and I don’t want to be threatened so I have stopped walking my dog. Paeroa has dog off leash area, lower part of river, with shelter, by bike track, well signposted with positive statements to support the use of it. Spur Street falls short, I pay dog registration, I am a responsible dog owner and feel that we are hampered by those not responsible. More restrictions on us. A bit of money would provide a decent area.” Cr A Tanner: “Is it the mountain side, the upper lease you refer to?” Submitter V Black: “Yes” Cr P Cronin: “Agree around the big dog/small dog comment. Were you aware that we had considered having two areas one for big dogs and one for small dogs and that we would plant trees and add equipment etc?” Submitter: “My answer would be why spend money putting all these things on bare land when you have an existing area with all that setup, you would have to put in more work for small dogs to that area, if you were going to do that why not utilise what Council already has.” Cr P Cronin: “Think housing was considered with regards to the other area.” Submitter: “If you have a small dog it would be suitable for both.” Cr D Arnold: “The bowling club in the middle wouldn’t be an issue?” Submitter: “No, not if walking area is around the outside.” Cr A Wilcock: “It is quite a substantial area. What is do you think a minimum?” Submitter: “Thirty minutes to one hour walking for a large dog would be minimum. Around housing comment Spur Street has netball, kids and cars on a Saturday morning.” Cr P Jager: “What if Council considered Gilchrist Street to Centennial Ave?” Submitter: “Not asking for the whole area a corridor and a loop around the area.” Cr P Jager: “Grazing could continue?” Submitter: “Yes.” Submitter (conference phone) Nicola Read, Morrinsville Dressage: “One of four users of the Waihou Recreation Ground along with Waihou Rugby Club, RDA, Hack and Hunters. Submission requested 2019/20 funding in maintenance to allow for the levelling the dressage and hack and hunters and RDA use for exercising the horses. We do understand that normally this would be submitted to the Long Term Plan (LTP) rather than the Annual Plan so when we initially discussed with Bryan Turner we had just missed the LTP and we had consultation with the other user groups as it would disrupt the use of the grounds for a significant period of time and the users all came to the agreement to have the grounds levelled. We have been told this is a maintenance project so that Council does need to provide the funding for and have that conversation with and have talked to Bryan many times. Have identified that these ground are in the Reserve Manage Plan (RMP) and have a high use rate for groups presently so would like a booking system looked at. We get endless compliments at competitions and would like to see the maintenance brought up to scratch. $80k as described as attached to the submission aligned with RMP and LTP.” Minutes Page 9
Council 15 May 2019 Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “Booking system reference could you clarify please; Do you feel there is a conflict between users?” Submitter: “Groups are going really well and in the past very well but as would like to have a better system for user groups say if we want to use in evening we have to go through the user group secretary to see if available, would like an online calendar or a more advanced booking system for user groups to consider while in a meeting and full agreement for all users would be fantastic.” Cr P Cronin: “Would you say there is an economic benefit to the area by having your dressage groups there?” Submitter: “Competition day people travel from Opotiki, Auckland, Raglan so from an economic perspective they are using petrol, maybe staying but maybe not all so community activity outside keeps people in the community active and health and wellbeing would be greatest benefit.” Deputy Mayor, J Thomas: “What is the area that is looking to be levelled and regrassed?” Submitter: “Two hectares.” Deputy Mayor, J Thomas: “Reading about undulations does it need drainage?” Submitter: “No just levelling and regrassing as the river soil drains so well for the grounds.” Deputy Mayor, J Thomas: “The undulations are they getting worse?” Submitter: “Looked back through documents 10 years ago we discussed with council and the last couple of winters they are visibly noticed and not great for dressage etc and becomes Health and Safety issue for us with Equestrian NZ.” Deputy Mayor, J Thomas: “Special turf grass or just general grass?” Submitter: “Not sure on the grass, Bryan Turner would have the knowledge on this. I’d like to particularly thank Mark and Bryan from council for all their work.” Submitter Anna Doerr and Rainer Kunnemeyer, Matamata Aero Club: “We are a volunteer group, not commercial, accounts reviewed annually, we promote the sport of affordable aviation to the public. We provide, covering only the maintenance costs, training to Scouts and Air Training Corps. We hold open days, we are supporting the Walsh Flying School. We would like to propose/discuss landing fees for Matamata Aero Club members, ground rentals and landing fees for casual users. A recreational/non-commercial annual membership fee of $130 plus $50 one off. We pay $36 ground rental hangar, club house $37 insurance cost to Council. 49 members with many flying occasionally, have 10 members that don’t have their own plane, the proposed fee of $150 per year for recreational/non-commercial users does not appear to be necessary in our view. Other airfields don’t have it. Council needs to bill them and invoice them. Would add some operation risks, we are members of Users Health and Safety Group and are providing more of a link, we propose to not introduce $150 but a scheme for Aero Club of $25 per member per year and introduce ground rentals differential between commercial and non of $2 m2 rather than current fee. Landing fees for casual users the $15 is excessive and is stopping visitors. Some other airfields are $7 per landing and one airfield with one sealed $14. Lots offer different fees for different weight planes and different users i.e. commercial – technology would be easy to implement that. These charging systems would be user friendly. Fewer people landing in Matamata and believe we are at risk of losing this and BP may pull out fuel. Suggest a casual landing fee for maximum weight, $6 for less than 600kg, $10 for 600-1500kg and $15 for more than 1500kg.” Cr A Wilcock: “Operation risks could you give me an example where a casual user would create this?” Submitter: “Active user processes just starting, the plan is, for casual visitors, to put up board to state out all the risk, we as the aero club have the opportunity to send out emails to our users, we Minutes Page 10
Council 15 May 2019 have had several incidences 6-7 reported at the last meeting, this will go out to other users, to provide communication channel.” Cr A Wilcock: “Do the flight school use the refuelling facility?” Submitter: No they are mainly diesel, those that use avgas use ours. Cr D Arnold: “The fees that you quoted were they per landing or per day?” Submitter: “A mix, Motueka $7 per day, one had a mix of charges for sealed $12 and grass $4.” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “You recommend that we delete the user charges, some users don’t want to be part of the aero club and we were trying to address it. How do you propose we deal with this”? Submitter: “We have rejected one person that wanted to become a member as his plane was used for commercial activity.” Cr P Cronin: “In terms of fees charged do you feel that you are cross subsidising the airfield use? So you are paying a proportion that should be paid by commercial?” Submitter: “In the interest of the airfield that commercial pay commercial and recreational pay recreational. Would not call it cross subsidising. I do feel that the commercial flying school is using the $15 per day excessively. That they are paying the same as an occasional visitor and I do not think is equitable way to provide it?” Cr P Cronin: “Do you see it primary as recreational or commercial airfield?” Submitter: “Would like to see a mix, would like to see fixing shop and café at the airfield to bring in more users.” Cr P Cronin: “Why would someone flying from Auckland fly to Te Kuiti as it is a cheaper flying fee, not a big difference in fuel cost, wouldn’t fuel price balance out the landing fee?” Submitter: “They go to Thames instead and don’t go to Matamata”. Submitter (Rainer): “For Microlight the fuel costs is significantly greater.” Cr P Cronin: “So no real difference in fuel cost.” Cr P Cronin: “Economic benefit to the wider region how do you see the airfield to the wider community, if you are asking us to subsidise? Submitter (Anna): “More visitors for a lower fee. More people would come and stay ‘weekend hopping’.” Cr A Wilcock: “Talking about refuelling, could I get clarity on this. Who administers the refuelling and who benefits?” Submitter: “BP fuelling station” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “$1098 annually equates to $28 per year. You’re asking for $25?” Submitter: “Proposing $25 per member so want to change the structure to per member as member numbers fluctuate.” Submitter Eric Pemberton: “Previously I was the caretaker at the airfield, like Anna quite concerned about the fees and the users and Council’s lack of agreement how these fees are created. When planning you go and land at the cheaper airfield if you can save $5-10 you will save. Does that answer your question about why people avoid Matamata? Three airfields, Raglan, Thames, Pauanui are also run by Council – they are 50% cheaper for us. New Plymouth $4.90 for Feilding and Taihape free, agree with Rainer about microlights they avoid flying to Matamata due to the cost. Good news for approaches the president of Flying NZ, said the missed landings was Minutes Page 11
Council 15 May 2019 an illegal charge, someone from Council explained it was like booking the hall as if someone does a missed approached then based on Council’s reasoning then as you have no planes waiting to land due to cost that this works. Was embarrassed when Council answered the media on that and showed disconnect between who makes the rules and what actually happens at an airport. Honesty box used to be broken into and stolen and we eventually made one with big foundation put fees from $3 to $5 so I didn’t have to count coins, there is always people that won’t pay fees. Have spoken to people at Te Kuiti that has honesty system but they realised it cost more to chase fees than not, there would be no need to put expensive video cameras in for those not paying fees. No one missing out. Would Council considering lowing the fees or is there something not explained?” Cr P Jager: “$10 charges you talked is per landing, ours is $15 per day Raglan is $10 per time.” Submitter: “As in my submission if multiple trips yes, but if microlight $30 gas and pay $15 to land for it. No one would complain about paying $15 per day. Great Barrier, Ardmore and Auckland are more expensive than Matamata.” Deputy Mayor, J Thomas: “With regards to fuel cost, is the avgas a set price in NZ is it more expensive in Te Kuiti than Matamata?” Submitter: “It does vary, often you don’t know until the bill comes in and don’t know if a difference between Matamata and New Plymouth, I do know the bigger users get bigger discount. Poor old smaller plane users pay premium.” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “The suggestion of $150 for recreational users charge to be deleted, and you would have to become an Aero Club member.” Submitter: “Doesn’t affect me, $15 stops people showing up for bbq and there is scope to give Anna what she is asking for but not exclusive to Matamata Aero Club, say if a new one opened. Disappointed that the fee wasn’t floated with the user committee, use to have a councillor, Cr Stanley, come to the user group meetings and I only noticed this charge when we went through the fine print.” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “Point taken, this consultation is to highlight these.” Cr P Cronin: “If we looked at a discount for members of aero club if a pilot was a member of a nationally affiliated flying club do you think the same type of discounted fee should apply to them?” Submitter: “Anna and Rainer would have a better idea what the Aero Club does there are some others do this some don’t.” Cr P Cronin “If we adopted a landing fee based on a member of an affiliated club, others that weren’t members paid more.” Submitter: “I see what you mean but $15 is too expensive based on other Council run airfields.” Cr B Hunter: “For clarity regarding $15 on average for people coming are they landing once or twice per day? For me it would make a big difference if landing once or twice per day.” Submitter: “Good question, I think there are a lot of people that would come for gas or stop cross country as Anna pointed out less and less coming so fuel company may pull out, don’t see a problem with $15 per day for training, wear and tear for different size is not that simple as some have different sized wheels so different loading.” Submitter Angus Robson: “Won’t repeat what Anna and Eric have said. To answer Adrienne (Cr A Wilcock) question there is a health and safety concern for missed approaches, say they are coming across from Hamilton and missed approaches by students are fair but they don’t call in as they don’t want to pay.” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “If they pay within the calendar month it is $15.” Minutes Page 12
Council 15 May 2019 Submitter: “I didn’t know that and don’t think they do, I’m not a member of the club as always become secretary etc and my point is that I should pay $22-25 per year like aero club, I pay $700 per year if I flew once a week, so I proposed $70-75 as an individual. I pay upfront, I have to ring Council every second time as it has been screwed up and it doesn’t work for you or me. The fee changes don’t affect me but fly ins do I don’t have a choice I’m captured that is the bulk of it.” Cr A Wilcock: “Is your plane stored in hangar at Waharoa? What an individual pays versus club is what I’m trying to understand.” Submitter: “$50 per week to store my plane.” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “$50 per week Foster pay a ground rental to Council.” Submitter: “Bird proof etc hangar” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “Aero club paying $22-25 and your prepared to pay $75 is a way forward to join the club?” Submitter: “Aero Club to join $180 and $130 ongoing I don’t want to pay that when I could pay $75 as it is cheaper.” Cr P Cronin: “Are you a member of any flying site?” Submitter: “Not of any aviation, on many others.” Submitter Tim Nicholson, PowerCo: In general, in support but want to tighten up parts around facilities. PowerCo distributes electricity throughout MPDC and through the most part we would not use reserve land, generally the roading corridor, but occasionally we do need to. There may be circumstance in the future that we need to use these. Our concerns are: Building Structures (pg. 26-27) any new structures buildings takes into account assets located within that area overhead or underground NZEP is recognised Regulations take into account assets and any plantings of new trees takes into account cables etc. Signs (pg. 34) and any infrastructure within reserves is consistent taking into account Council signage rules. Easements (pg. 36) the proposal says easements not in perpetuity (excludes lifeline utility) so want to ensure that an easement can be done to provide. Council may charge an annual rental again not appropriate for lifeline utility – normally one off payment upfront, don’t want to be tied into an annual rental. Council adjourned for morning tea at 10.38am and reconvened at 10.55am. Submitter Alison Greenwell and David Wheadon, Railside by the Green (Alison): Advised all the functions in the community of what Railside by the Green does. “We would like the green regrassed, fertilised and prohibit vehicles from parking on it and more rubbish bins, enhanced garden area is currently being addressed, think the toilets may need to be looked at again and should it always be up to the ratepayer? Signage blocked by trees, speed around railside better signage or speed humps.” Submitter (David): “The Tamihana Statue the project to erect a bronze (or similar) statue in Matamata, this project has been simmering for many years, have assured support from Ngati Haua, people approach me and ask where the project is at. The interest comes from those that believe Tamihana represented ‘education, negotiation and faith’ which are values worth promoting. I and others would like to see the values that Tamihana represented within Matamata go back to his heritage, no other statue has the status of Tamihana, this is purely on the quality and stature of the Tamihana. Young to look up to him with pride.” Minutes Page 13
Council 15 May 2019 Cr A Wilcock: “What do you perceive the cost of the statue being?” Submitter: “We haven’t got that far have ideas and wouldn’t want to put a figure on it here as the last place if it was proven wrong. If one perceives value in it, then proceed.” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “Is this related to the bequest Bob McGrail is handling?” Submitter: “I don’t know about that.” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “Would suggest you follow up with Bob McGrail looking at a bequest for possible Clydesdales, Tamihana and Josiah Firth.” Submitter: “I use the word simmering it has been going on for a long time, I feel this project needs canvassing and it needs to come from the community as the drivers in the back seat, the momentum has to come from the people that see the need, if that doesn’t come through then that does not exist or not explained enough.” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “Are you aware of the life size horse statue? If people are approaching you work with them.” Submitter: “There is a clear line between Josiah Firth and this.” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “Alison we have done a lot of work on toilets, safety issue of collecting and depositing money, we do currently have an assessment of the toilets throughout the district.” Submitter Hugh Vercoe, Morrinsville and District Senior Citizens Association: “Want the community to use and don’t have a schedule of rates just have gut feeling and charge accordingly and based on numbers, try to keep it for what can be afforded, responding to the community and its use, it costs us $5k to Council and $4k to insure it. The incidentals cleaning etc. add up on the costs and we need to get income, so Rotary now meet there charge them $5k per year and gave them naming rights on the front of the building and that is the brand it trades under, so Senior Citizens own the building, it cost $50-60k to upgrade so Rotary gave grant for $30k which we used to do up the lounge. Kitchen is done, ideally we would like to have a disabled toilet setup but there is not enough room in the current building asking $50k from Council and Senior Citizens would give $25k towards this project. If disbanded Council cost would be far greater. Morrinsville has a lack of venues for community groups and it is good that Council is booking the venue, the community is benefitting from the volunteers that bring it up to date and manage it, but the committee is committed to making a difference. We would like you to work with us.” Cr D Arnold: “Have you had plans drawn up for the toilets and have you had one done including disabled toilet?” Submitter: “Not yet, disabled toilet would go on the outside of the building, have talked to plumbers only so far.” Cr P Cronin: “Would you say Hugh that without the redevelopment there would be a loss of economic activity and would modern toilets do that?” Submitter: “Someone had to stand up and take responsibility.” Cr P Cronin: “So there is some economic benefit there?” Submitter: “Yes there is.” Submitter John Dean: “1.

Barnes: “Like your passion, we have Keep Matamata Beautiful working along Waharoa Straight and other areas and we do have a volunteers’ function in mid-July, grass to grow issues and put another strip of concrete down.” Cr A Wilcock: “Number 3. extending plantings to Waharoa - Where are you thinking of planting the trees?” Submitter: “By railway.” Cr A Wilcock: “Are you aware there are power lines?” Submitter: “Yes, in other part of town spent money getting the lines underground so this would be great there.” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “Council take care of Waharoa East side and NZTA do the highway roadside, but would like you to meet up with Keep Matamata Beautiful and Tom Grant Drive Committee and Centennial Drive Committee. We can help facilitate that connection.” Cr B Hunter: “We were very lucky the Tom Grant Drive is there and how do you suggest we extend that?” Submitter: “I don’t know how, but put in a 10 year plan, if you plan it eventually happens.” Submitter Kay Kristenson and Richard Wall, Waikato DHB (Richard): Submitter showed a powerpoint presentation (to be attached to the minutes). “Gambling statistics don’t exist for your district as gambling harm is hidden, we have numbers for seeking help and that only captures the severe end of the number and misses the fact that a small number of people seek help. National surveys are the only way that we can get stats, 2% of the population and 4% that have less significant harm and unfortunately you are not missing out on that you don’t have the harm here, lower socio economic group are the most harmed and the number of people that effect it. Community funding is not necessarily returned to the community, $6m 2017-2018 from our district and $1.3m back. Recommend sinking lid approach and this is from a health and wellbeing side.” Cr A Tanner: “Online pokies where they offer dollar for dollar match, with this on your phone if you’re a gambler you will still find ways to gamble. What are your thoughts?” Submitter: “We don’t know what will happen, we are just advocating sinking lid and don’t know, in 2017 Norway got rid of machines and those people didn’t go to other forms of gambling so that didn’t suggest that they change to other forms of gambling.” Cr P Cronin: “Good part of this is philosophical question. Should we regulate some form of health, dental care, hearing and osteoarthritis why if those harms had that amount spent on them wouldn’t they be less? I have psychology degree and understand anything with instant reward ‘addiction’. Do you think that clubs just form part of a larger community and as a relocation then only one of them should only be able to keep their machines or if new premises that no machines allowed?” Submitter: “Justify by the harm these machines cause, but if they merge this is a chance to reduce the harm and yes clubs.” Submitter (Kay): “Class 4 in a pub or club cannot be a primary activity, so think it is great if clubs merge and find some other way than gambling.” Cr P Cronin: “Why is your focus so important for gambling. Gambling seems to be a very high profile thing at the moment, whereas not disagreeing with you and have read Max Abbots work and it stands up, maybe not to close scrutiny in terms of that, why would your focus be on gambling when we don’t know what the outcome would be, and we don’t know what the effect would be. With gambling at clubs there is some form of supervision and not at home are we not just transferring the problem?” Submitter (Richard): “I’m still slightly confused.” Minutes Page 15
Council 15 May 2019 Cr P Cronin: “Will having a sinking cap make a difference? And I heard you say you didn’t know!” Submitter: “No I didn’t say that.” Cr P Cronin: “So just a correlation, not facts”. Submitter Jarrod True, The Gambling Machine Association of NZ: Submitters showed a powerpoint presentation (to be attached to the minutes). “DHB information is incorrect 0.2% not 2% and there is data available 3 new problem gamblers from MPDC sought help within the last 12 months. 2017 in Norway when we didn’t all have a phone quoting data from that is not acceptable. TAB figures from power point quoted. At home no staff no limits 100% done on credit cards. 59.2% of the TABs gambling is now online is my takeaway of the day.” Cr P Cronin: “I’ve seen first-hand gambling harm, marriages, foodbanks so I’m surprised of the only three people reaching out for help. Apart from the $20 million the Gambling industry and there is quite a correlation between fraud and gambling addiction and I would like to see a fund setup for this. In terms of this do you think the Gambling Association could do more for victims of harm?” Submitter: “I could spend the next half hour quoting all that we do, what you ask is more a national policy setting type question. Clinical support money is there and how it is spent is decided from above.” Cr J Sainsbury: “The TAB statistics is interesting so the in stores has gone down why do you think the cap is irresponsible?” Submitter: “If a venue was to close this leaves the option of the other.” Cr J Sainsbury: “What are your concerns with open slather?” Submitter: “Personally I don’t have a concern some councils, Queenstown does this, we are just advocating for a reasonable balance.” Submitter Martin Cheer, Pub Charity: Submitter showed power point presentation (to be attached to the minutes) Submitter Eru Loach, Problem Gambling NZ: “I come from a policing background, public health and submissions throughout the district during that time. Strengths and weakness of this policy. The $20 million gambling levy is from a range of things and it is the amount of money that is lost. It is difficult to ask for help for something that is deemed to be a person’s individual choice, there is a lot of shame and stigma attached to this type of addictions. No one wants to put their hands up to this. Crimes, 77% is unrecorded likewise with gambling issues/addictions no one wants to say I’ve lost everything, so hard data is only the tip of the iceberg. Why do people gamble? 49% identify gambling in pubs and clubs we are not talking about lotto and online gambling that you have no control over. We can talk about what you do have control over, strong policy would be strength based proposals. Look at big picture, if I was a problem gambler who would I go to there is no service in MPDC, the numbers are very low as you don’t have any services available, I don’t disagree with Jarrod about who goes, councillors see and assess only x number, the gambling act does need an overhaul, look at the longer game. Recommend sinking lid and that is the way forward, club merges if they take machines across with them then that doesn’t fit within the act if they are not viable without the machines.” Cr A Tanner: “If we have 40 machines in MPDC and drop to 20 would problem gambling reduce?” Submitter: “If there was a reduction in machines that makes the number of opportunities available less to gamblers.” Minutes Page 16
Council 15 May 2019 Cr P M Jager left the meeting at 12.26pm and returned at 12.29pm. Submitter Mike Gribble, Maureen Hodson and Ron Tuck Morrinsville Grey Power (Mike): “Pedestrian crossings causing confusion with others pedestrian/motorist do not know that these are pedestrian crossing, such as they are use to the other types and there is no advantage to pedestrians to use those crossings.” Submitter (Ron): “The unauthorised crossing and the signage isn’t distinctive enough for motorist to know and needs attention.” Submitter (Maureen): “One of our members has been almost hit on that new crossing as motorist don’t recognise it, need more signage for motorist and they zoom over it like the rest of the humps in the main street and I don’t want to see anyone/child killed on that crossing if it is not fixed.” Submitter (Mike): “Parking; I have a very good idea to solve the new carpark for the Events Centre this morning there were three cars instead of the usual two. It is not being used! Maybe if Council staff parked there and walked to their work, there has to be something done with parking and assume Matamata and Te Aroha to be the same. Footpaths is an issue, problems with width and no designated cycleway.” Submitter (Maureen): “Council staff should set an example, instead of the normal parking around the streets and the shop owners need to use it too. While on parking, wheelchair carparks, I went over them with Christo (staff) and suggested a plate like outside the warehouse so they don’t need to go out on the road. It is important that this be done quickly, Thames Street with the cars going over those humps makes it awkward to get in and to go on the road. The Warehouse is private area, but they had the sense to use their brain, it is the same in town that the height of the kerbing is not good for wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Council said in a letter they could not charge $150 as no one to police it. I disagree with whoever wrote this letter and said it can’t be done, as it can be.” Submitter (Mike): “Bus service to Morrinsville to continue and would like a proper bus shelter, saying that there is no room or taking up parking spot is not good enough (referred to item 4.). That is our submission.” Mayor Janet E. Barnes: “Maureen I take on board the plate suggestion, and it is the police that would need to enforce the $150 but the community needs to know this.” Cr B L Hunter left the meeting at 12.50pm and returned at 12.52pm Submitter (conference phone) Tanya Piejus, NZ Community Trust: Submitter showed a powerpoint presentation (to be attached to the minutes). “I encourage you to maintain the status quo in the policy as stated in our submission”.

• Recommend a true sinking lid policy for electronic gaming machines and venues • Recommend that no mergers or relocation of venues be permitted
Gambling causes significant harm. Vulnerable population groups are most at risk.
Nationally harm from gambling is • 3x greater than harm from drug use disorders • 2.5x greater than harm from diabetes • 2.1x greater than harm from osteoarthritis
Electronic gaming machines are the major cause of gambling harm
The evidence shows a relationship between density of EGMs and problem
gambling prevalenceWhat’s the problem with mergers/relocations? • Risk preventing a reduction of EGMs • Risk moving EGMs into more socioeconomically deprived areas • Large venues associated with greater harm than smaller venues
Addressing concerns about community
funding
• EGMs cause significant harm
• Vulnerable groups most at risk
• Money not necessarily returned to community
• Gradual decline – allows time to find other funding sources
July 2017 – June 2018
• $6 Million spent on EGMs Matamata-Piako District
1 January 2017 – 30 June 2018
• $1.3 Million grants to the Matamata-Piako DistrictPublic Health Position • Recommend a true sinking lid policy for EGMs and venues • Recommend that no mergers or relocation of venues be permitted
