MINUTES OF MEETING – Tuesday 6 December 2011, 7:30pm

PRESENT: Thomas Schwarz, Shorty Hughes, Cath Oldfield, Rowan Sapsford , Karyn Hutton, Pete Masters, Pete MacFarlane, Mark Gibson, Julie Norris and Fraser Scott from TDC
APOLOGIES: Thea de Petris, Keith Crate, and Mike Langley
HEU HEU STREET: Fraser Scott from TDC presented a revised option for the upgrade of Heu Heu Street. This version is a Plan B, after retailers were unhappy with the reduced car parks in the first idea. $1m budget over the next 12 months. Rowan will feedback to TDC with the following ideas:
- Green bike box area at lights, like Christchurch
- Bike racks dotted more frequently along street, best near crossings and outside cafes. Preferably ‘arty’ ones, like Suncourt.
- Seats and/or planter boxes with rails to lock bikes to. Get a useful structure that also takes bikes.
- Public drinking fountain.
- No water feature, the lake is our feature.
- BT preferred the original plan. If it gets watered down anymore, may as well go to another street.

Moved by Karyn/2nd Thomas
MANAGER’S REPORT:
Lots of trees down during the Huka race. Calling it off was the right thing. Branch hit a person on Tank Stand.
GREAT LAKE TRAIL:
3.4km done. Over budget on boardwalk, but expecting to be able to claim that from government. Everyone enjoying the photos, so keep them coming.
URBAN JUNGLE:
Pete Boomen is losing momentum with his Cycle Active Taupo. He has suggested that BT or TDC buy the bikes and trailer and run the programme. Probably more a TDC thing.
Spa Park Dirt Jumps and Trials idea gaining momentum. Getting the guys organised. Cath and Shorty helping.
WAIRAKEI: (7 wise men and 1 wise woman)
Resolution required to build a second tunnel at the carpark at Craters. Moved Pete. 2nd Shorty. All in favour. Julie to ask her man about ideas for the tunnel. Needs to be 2.2m high and 6m long.
Plans and costings are ongoing for toilets.
MEDIA/PROMOTION/WEBSITE:
Framework has been started. Important to be able to transfer content. Media Chimp for newsletters. Need to stick to $5,000 budget. Tie in with rebranding and GLT and maps. Timeframe for completion 1 Feb 2012.
FUNDING/PROJECTS:
Tunnel, as per Wairakei.
NEWSLETTER: Looking at better system on website.
GENERAL BUSINESS:
New DoC building behind Wai Ora House in Motutaiko Street and an office for Bike Taupo being provided!
Ride Centre idea needs to be discussed, as it can tie in with new DoC building. 7pm Scenic Cellars Wed 21 December.
Meeting Closed: 9.40pm
Next Meeting: EW Tuesday 17 January 2012 @ 7.30pm.
