The administration of Community Building Reserves is mostly carried out by the relevant community or user groups. If the building is not a public hall then the lessee is required to make application through the Annual Plan process if they want Council assistance with maintenance. 2.14.3 Are there any Negative Effects from Community Buildings? Activities in community buildings can at times disturb neighbouring properties 2.14.4 Significant Assumptions, Uncertainties and Risk Management Assumptions include: The service will be maintained during and following emergency using standard operating procedures. The majority of MDC hall assets are dated and are requiring increasing levels of maintenance and may not necessarily be fit for purpose for the particular community’s needs. Risks associated with absence of provision: Reduction in the number, capacity and quality of Civil Defence points and Evacuation stations. 2.15 Street Trees and Garden Plots Street tree information was previously held in the street and park tree inventory, which was updated by the contract engineer as changes occurred.
