1.1 Purpose of Report
To seek Council’s approval to enter into a new ground lease with Napier City Rovers Association Football Club Inc. for the area of land occupied by the organisations clubrooms, changing rooms and grandstand.
|
The Manager Property spoke to the report, providing a brief overview and noting that the playing field will remain under Napier City Council’s control in terms of bookings. In response to questions from Councillors, the following points were clarified: · The view in the past has been that Napier City Rovers Association Football Club Inc. (Napier City Rovers) appeared to have exclusive use of the field, however this is not the case. Use of the field is at Council’s discretion. · This is considered to be the premier field for football/soccer in Napier and this sport is therefore given preference. It was noted that the ground is also a recreation reserve. · Maintenance of the playing field has always been Council’s responsibility. Users pay through Council’s Fees and Charges Schedule for use of the grounds. · The club room hireage is between Napier City Rovers and other users. · Other users can have access to the grandstand and public toilets. · The current lease has been rolling over on a month by month basis for around two years. · In general, with the exception of the hockey turf and bowling greens, other sporting codes in Napier also rent the grounds they play on. The sporting groups usually own their club rooms with a ground lease from Council.
