    • Te Papa Demonstrates Impressive Return on Council Investment
      • 15 Apr 2012
      • Te Papa
      • For every dollar Wellington City Council invests in Te Papa, it gets $41 back in contributions to the capital’s GDP, supporting the local tourist economy and strengthening communities in Wellington. Te Papa Chief Executive Officer Michael Houlihan told Wellington City councillors that considering a $1,250,000 reduction in their investment in Te Papa puts the sustainability of the museum’s economic contributions at risk.

      • Te Papa
      • As Wellington City Council asks city ratepayers for their feedback on their long-term council plan, Te Papa is asking its Wellington visitors to speak up and help us save our funding. The council’s long-term plan proposes cutting its Te Papa funding by 55% (or $1,250,000) per year for the next decade. This money goes towards the museum’s world class exhibition programme, community programmes and facilities like Discovery Centres, PlaNet Pasifika and Story Place.

    • Te Papa versus the city council
      • 15 Apr 2012
      • Wellington Scoop
      • While almost everyone else is encouraging the Wellington City Council to cut its spending in order to control the rates, one national organisation is campaigning in the opposite direction. Te Papa is annoyed by the council’s decision to reduce its annual grant from $2.25m to $1m. It has responded by launching a campaign which threatens that Wellington “could miss out” if the grant is reduced.

        • ‘Yes but … Te Papa does need more funding. But it’s not the city council’s responsibility. As for having a national gallery of art – the new Auckland Art Gallery has taken over that responsibility, with an impressively curated collection of New Zealand art which leaves Te Papa for dead. ’
        • ‘What Te Papa needs is MORE funding, not less. The internal planning of Te Papa is a mess. It really needs ripping out and starting again. Do you know that the sculpture garden on the roof deck has been discontinued? Did anyone notice? Does anyone care? Te Papa used to be our national gallery of art – now we don’t even have a faint attempt at a gallery on which to display sculpture – it is a national shame. ’
        • ‘The truth is, if Te Papa funding reduces, then it stands to reason that Te Papa’s ability to provide certain services will reduce. I have read all of the comments above, and the only one that may have some legs is the one about about consultancy fees. All I can say about social media activities is, Te Papa has always said it is a forum for our nation, and a place for all to stand. Discrimination doesn’t factor, so anyone making comment about anything using online forums is the norm. I can also completely understand why Te Papa has paid guides. I have worked with volunteers, and while volunteers make fantastic contributions, they can also be a difficult workforce to rely on day in and out. A paid workforce can be held to performance standards, that ensure a level of service, that clearly has been missing in the above person’s experiences at other museums and galleries. Te Papa has changed the face of Wellington in the past decade. We have become the arts capital. Reduced capability will impact on weekend excursions by New Zealanders if they can’t provide what they have in the past … Monet and so on. Will this also impact on Te Papa’s ability to market internationally? What impact would that have on visitation to Wellington?? I have lived in Wellington for 40 years, and visited Te Papa more times than I can remember with my family since it opened. I have seen the difference it has made to the Wellington landscape…Cruise Ships, Tour Buses and the growth of the arts scene in Wellington. While I conceed that we will still get visitors, because Te Papa is here, I also know that the things that Te Papa has provided in the past to bring visitors to Wellington, may well disappear. What they are, we will only see, if the funding is cut. ’

        • ‘The Council is being small minded and Scrooge like in its thinking. Perhaps we need to reconsider the value of Te Papa? (a) What change in revenue [if any ] would occur if an entry charge was made? (b) what decline [if any] in visitor numbers to Wellington may occur if a charge is applied? (c) What income does the Wellington City Council get directly and indirectly from Te Papa visitors? (d) Let us assume that the Council withdraws 1.25 million. Perhaps a method needs to be devised where the Council is levied a fee by Te papa as recompense for the revenues the Council gets as a consequence of Te Papa’s operation? Would this levy be as great as the reduction of financial support or greater? ’

        • ‘My sentiments exactly. Because we are not voting for a “ticket” with a manifesto, all we get is a bunch of individuals who cannot be held to account. We have to rely on their “common sense”, although people who follow council affairs closely might be able to identify which councillors share their world view. But then the problem is that the ward system stops us from voting for individuals we support or against those we want to see gone. Instead, when it comes to issues affecting us directly, the majority of councillors around the table are foisted on us from other parts of the city and totally unaccountable to the residents affected. If it is bad enough that representatives from Tawa and Miramar are deciding on Wellington’s inner city matters, under the proposed reforms they will be elected form Upper Hutt and Kapiti. But equally, why should my representatives be deciding the opening hours of the library at Paraparaumu? ’
