Tasman Bays Heritage Trust Board of Trustee representatives Olivia Hall and Darren Mark presented the tabled document and answered questions regarding loan repayments and funding options and the need for a regional storage facility.

Ms Hall noted that the Tasman Bays Heritage Trust had met with the Mayor’s and Chief Executives of Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council.  They had discussed the loan repayments, the Collections Store  project and financial contributions.

After discussions at the meeting, the Tasman Bays Heritage Trust had agreed to maintain repayment of their outstanding loans at the amount of $100,000 per annum, on the basis that both Councils would assist to fund the regional storage facility.

It was noted that the funding would be $1.5 million in each of years three and four of the Long Term Plan, (total $3 million).  Tasman District Council has committed to considering the matter again in its next Long Term Plan. 

There was discussion about the collections in storage being available for the public to have access to and it was noted that the working group would be meeting at the end of the month to discuss options.

The meeting was adjourned at 9.30am and reconvened at 9.41am.
