Land owner approval request for early childhood education centre (ECE) at 42R Secretariat Place Manurewa
File No.:
CP2014/00468
Purpose
1. To seek land
owner approval to establish an early childhood education centre
(ECE) on Riverton Reserve, 42R Secretariat Place, Manurewa.
Executive Summary
2. The
Taonga Education Centre Charitable Trust (the Trust)
has applied for a land owner approval in principle, to establish an ECE on
Riverton Reserve, Manurewa. Riverton Reserve has a council approved concept
redevelopment plan which includes provision for an ECE. The approved concept
plan was widely consulted upon. The Trust is applying for an 80 place ECE
facility and a 20 place playgroup, being 100 places in total.
3. Riverton
Reserve is zoned POS3 (sport and active recreation) and is classified under the
Reserves Act as a Recreation Reserve (see Attachment A for an aerial photo).
Part of the redevelopment of Riverton Reserve includes a community facility
‘pavilion’ which, along with the ECE, will require part of the reserve
classification to be changed by the council to Local Purpose (Community Buildings)
Reserve in order for leases and community activities to be established.
4. As
the redevelopment plan provides for an ECE and has been consulted upon and
endorsed by the local board, and because the design of the proposed ECE will
complement the pavilion and blend in with the overall reserve redevelopment, it
is recommended that land owner approval be granted.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Manurewa Local Board:
a)
Grant land owner approval in principle, to the
Taonga Education Centre Charitable Trust to establish an Early Childhood Education Centre catering for up to 80 ECE
places and a 20 place play-group at Riverton Reserve, 42R Secretariat Place,
Manurewa, subject to the following conditions:
1)
That the proposed design of the ECE is approved by the Manager of
Local and Sports Parks - South.
2)
That the Trust successfully
obtains any regulatory consents that are required for the development.
3)
That the council successfully reclassifies the
site of the ECE as Local Purpose (Community Buildings) Reserve under the Reserves
Act 1977.
4)
That a lease which combines the land and
buildings required for the proposed ECE is signed between the Trust and
Auckland Council.
5)
That any other conditions
relating to construction details are to be provided
by the Local and Sports Parks Manager – South to
manage the construction of the ECE and reinstatement of the reserve.
|
Discussion
5. The
Trust is an established early childhood education provider in Manurewa. Formed
in 2002, it established a teenagers parenting and education unit, and early
childhood centre in Clendon. The Trust now supports a
range of ECE facilities.
6. The
Trust is seeking a site to establish a new ECE in the Randwick Park area.
Riverton Reserve was proposed initially because planning for re-development of
the reserve had begun and at that time a small portion of the reserve had been
considered for an ECE. However, the area was too small to meet Ministry of
Education (MoE) criteria and instead the Trust sought to locate the ECE on
Hyperion Reserve located nearby.
7. Hyperion
Reserve is not zoned or classified for early childhood education activities and
the subsequent resource consent for the activity was refused. The proposal also
did not receive land owner approval from the local board or support from the
Parks department. The resource consent was appealed and settled by the
council’s solicitors with conditions and requirements which made establishment
and licencing of the ECE challenging.
8. The
concept plan for the Riverton Reserve redevelopment had changed in the interim
to include a larger alternative area for potential ECE development. The
concept plan was widely publicly consulted on and was endorsed by the local
board. The site was suggested to the Trust by council staff, and supported by
the MoE. The Trust are now requesting that land owner approval be considered
for a new ECE proposal on Riverton Reserve. The proposal is to establish a facility for up to 80 ECE places and a 20 place play-group
catering for a total of 100 children aged 1-5.
9. ECE
provision in Manurewa is uneven. Consequently participation rates vary based on
access to culturally appropriate learning places. In the Randwick Park area of
Manurewa, participation rates are some of the lowest in the country and
subsequently is recognised as a high priority area by the MoE. Providers can
seek TAP funding (Targeted Assistance in Participation) from the MoE to
establish centres in the areas where they are needed most.
10. The
Auckland Plan recognises that ECE participation is a key element in future
educational success, and through the Southern Initiative seeks ways to improve
provision and establishment of ECE’s.
11. ECE
provision in high priority areas is largely undertaken by trusts and
incorporated societies. Community focused low cost providers, such as the
Trust, seek to encourage higher rates of ECE participation and engagement in
education. The council is able to support this in a number of ways. To date one
of those has been the provision of reserve land. With increasing pressure being
placed on the reserve network, careful consideration must be given to
establishing ECE facilities on existing reserves as they essentially remove the
land from use by the public and can impact on the reserves intrinsic values.
12. The
new proposal by the Trust differs from many others in that it seeks to
establish on a large sports park (7.098 hectares) which has been redesigned as
a mixed sports and community hub. The sports area consists of playing fields,
courts and a skatepark. The community hub consists of a community pavilion, ECE
site and associated parking. The proposed site of the ECE is a section of the
park that does not lend itself to suitable sports field platforms.
13. An indicative site plan is attached (see Attachment
B). This is provided as a basis for approval to an overall lease area – details
on building shape, size and specific location will be approved at a later stage
because at this point the Trust is seeking land owner approval in principle to
enable it to lease and develop the land.
14. The
proposal will be designed specifically to be compatible with and complementary
to the main Pavilion, and be a discrete part of the overall redevelopment of
the reserve. Because the reserve is large, it is considered that the size and
scale of the proposed ECE will be in keeping with the redevelopment and will
not compromise active or informal recreation space. A condition relating to
design and appearance compatibility will be required at a later date so that
the ECE building does not detract from the Pavilion building, which is the
heart of the redeveloped site. In order to expedite the process, it is
recommended that the Manager of Local and Sports Parks approve the final
building location and design and landscaping.
15. The
land on which the Pavilion building sits and the proposed lease area for the
ECE is currently classified as Recreation Reserve under the Reserves Act. This
is not an appropriate classification on which to locate these facilities and
therefore will need to be reclassified to Local Purpose (Community Buildings)
Reserve. A condition of a land owner approval could require that the
reclassification for both sites be undertaken by council before the ECE is
occupied so that an appropriate community lease can be granted.
16. Re-classification
requires public notification and it would be prudent to notify both the ECE and
the Pavilion land reclassification for efficiency and the council intention to
lease. Once the reclassification is complete there is no further requirement to
notify any proposed community leases for the land.
17. The
ECE will benefit from being located on Riverton Reserve as there is existing
parking, security cameras, power, water and telephone on the site which will
result in significant build cost savings. There are also likely to be cost
saving synergies in the construction of the ECE and the Pavilion building if
done at the same time. As the sports park is largely inactive during the usual
hours of ECE operation, the use will activate the park during the day, as will
community use of the Pavilion. They will provide a level of passive
surveillance which should make the park safer for users and reduce vandalism of
park assets. In the evenings and weekends the sports fields, courts and
Pavilion will be more heavily used providing the ECE facility with security
when it is not in use.
18. ECE
parking will make use of the recently developed parking area beside the current
disabled spaces, with four spaces marked with ECE hours to allow staff parking
that will not clash with peak use of the reserve. Parking on those spaces for
any park user outside of ECE hours would be available.
Consideration
Local Board Views
19. The local
board is aware of the journey undergone by the Trust in seeking a location for
a new Manurewa ECE through various reports and updates. The local board is also
aware of the successful activities of the Trust and have promoted, supported
and endorsed the concept development plan for Riverton Reserve including the
proposed ECE.
Maori Impact Statement
20. Iwi have been
consulted at all stages of the proposed Riverton Reserve re-development which
has included provision of an ECE from the outset. Iwi support the redevelopment
particularly in the area of increasing participation in early childhood
education. Ngati Te Ata compiled a cultural values assessment and other Iwi
(Ngai Tai ki Tamaki and Te Akitai o Waiohua) have also been engaged throughout.
General
21. There is no
formal policy as to how the council supports new ECE activities. Staff from
several departments are currently looking to develop guidelines to enable more
informed decision making about how the council can support ECEs. These will be
discussed with the southern local boards once they are drafted.
Implementation Issues
22. The
land set aside for an ECE will require re-classification under the Reserves Act
from Recreation Reserve to Local Purpose (Community Buildings) Reserve. The
process and cost will be managed by the council. Re-classification of the
reserve will require approval from the governing body. Once the land is
re-classified there is no further need to notify any new leases of the land and
an appropriate lease can be offered to the Trust.
23. The
Trust may have to seek a resource consent for the ECE. The rules governing this
type of activity in the Public Open Space 3 zone (Active Outdoor
Recreation/Organised Sports) are less onerous than in some other reserve zones,
and council planners will undertake an assessment of whether the application
should be notified.

Psychoactive Substances Position Paper
File No.:
CP2014/00880
Purpose
1. The purpose of this report is consider a draft position paper on
Psychoactive Substances prepared to give guidance concerning the location of
premises selling psychoactive substances in the Manurewa Local Board area. It
also intended to provide the Psychoactive Substance Regulatory Authority with a
view from the Manurewa Local Board about the location of such premises to
assist in the formulation of regulations being prepared.
2. The Manurewa Local Board wish to provide feedback to Hamilton City
Council on their proposed Psychoactive Substances Local Approved Products
Policy.
Executive Summary
3. The purpose
of the Psychoactive Substances Act 2013 (the ‘Act’) is to “regulate the
availability of psychoactive substances in New Zealand to protect the health
of, and minimise harm to, individuals who use psychoactive substances.”
4. The draft
position paper (attachment A) is intended to give guidance concerning the
location of premises selling psychoactive substances in the Manurewa Local
Board area. In so doing it serves to addresses community concerns regarding the
location of such premises, while having regard to the statutory requirements of
the Act.
5. The draft
position paper is also intended to provide the Psychoactive Substances
Regulatory Authority with inputs from the Manurewa Local Board and its
community about the location of premises. This is intended to assist the
Authority in drafting regulations for implementing the Act and decisions it
will make on the location of any retail license applications to sell
psychoactive substances in Manurewa.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Manurewa
Local Board:
a) Adopts the
Draft Manurewa Local Board Psychoactive Substances Position Paper (Attachment
A to the report entitled “Psychoactive Substances Position Paper”).
b) Makes a
submission to Hamilton City Council in relation to psychoactive substances
(Attachment B to the report entitled “Psychoactive Substances Position
Paper”)
|
Discussion
6. The main
purpose of the draft position paper is for the Manurewa Local Board to provide
a view that can be applied to all applications that the Psychoactive Substances
Regulatory Authority considers for retail licenses to sell approved products in
Manurewa. It is also intended to assist the Psychoactive Substances Regulatory
Authority in preparing regulations to accompany the Act.
7. The objectives
of the draft position paper are to minimise the harm to the community caused by
psychoactive substances by providing advocacy to the Psychoactive Substances
Regulatory Authority of where retail premises that sell psychoactive substances
may be located and to ensure that the community, through the local board is
able to express a clear view about the location of these retail premises in the
regulations being prepared.
8. The draft
position paper is aligned to priorities set out in the Local Board Plan and
also assists in the delivery of these. The primary priority alignment is with
“create resilient communities in attractive neighbourhoods where people can
participate, feel safe and enjoy a good quality of life, with easy access to a
range of excellent community facilities.”
9. The draft
position paper sets out the location of retail premises from which approved
products may be sold, which should be restricted to locations within the
Manurewa Town Centre as identified in Schedule 1 in attachment A
10. Section 68(a)
of the Act provides that the location
of premises from which approved products may be sold may be indicated by
reference to broad areas within a district. The reason for restricting
locations to the Manurewa Town Centre area only is predominately about safety.
The safety of individuals buying and selling approved products is increased by
the presence of high populations, greater visibility, good lighting, coverage
of CCTV cameras and increased Police presence. A focused geographic area also
enables easier enforcement. Such a restriction would also serve to reduce the
availability of psychoactive substances in residential neighborhoods.
11. The
draft position paper sets out that any retail premise from which approved
products may be sold should not be permitted within 100 meters of a sensitive
site existing at the time the license application is made. The separation
distances should be measured from the legal boundary of each sensitive site.
Section 68(c) of the Act provides that the location of premises from which approved products may be
sold may be indicated by reference to proximity to premises or facilities of a
particular kind within the district (for example, kindergartens, early
childhood centres, schools, places of worship, or other community facilities).
12. Attachment A identifies
sensitive sites as kindergartens, early childhood centres, schools, places of
worship, or other community facilities within or close to the town centre. The local board
considers 100 meters to be the appropriate separation distance of retail
premises selling approved products from sensitive sites. This distance reduces
visibility and profile of such retail premises.
13. The draft
position paper proposes that new retail premises from which approved products
may be sold should not be permitted within 500 meters of another retail premise
from which approved products may be sold. The separation distances are again to
be measured from the legal boundary of the premises. Section 68(b) of the Act
provides that the
location of premises from which approved products may be sold may be indicated
by reference to proximity to other premises from which approved products are
sold. The reason for this is to reduce harm caused by the clustering of
the activity.
14. The draft
position paper includes recommendations for the Psychoactive Substances
Regulatory Authority to consider limiting the number of retail premises in
Manurewa. At present there are three interim retail licenses in the town centre
and one under consideration near the Town Centre Zone. To further protect the
health of, and minimise harm to, individuals who use psychoactive substances,
it is strongly recommended that no more than three retail licenses be granted
in Manurewa if any are granted at all, and that a ‘sinking lid’ approach be
adopted to reduce the number of licenses over time.
15. A further
request to the Psychoactive Substances Regulatory Authority is they consider
protecting groups from the sale of psychoactive substances, by establishing the
hours of operation for the sale of approved products and limit these to 9:00am
to 2:30pm. This would act as a harm reduction method as it would help limit the
visibility of retail premises to vulnerable groups, such as school children.
16. The Manurewa
Local Board is aware that Hamilton City Council is currently consulting on a
draft Psychoactive Substance Local Approved Products Policy and is supportive
of the policy. Attachment B sets out the local boards input to the
consultation process and requests the opportunity to speak in support of the
submission
Local Board Views
17. The draft
position paper has been prepared with local board members.
Maori Impact Statement
18. The purpose of
the Psychoactive Substances Act 2013 (the ‘Act’) is to “regulate the availability
of psychoactive substances in New Zealand to protect the health of, and
minimise harm to, individuals who use psychoactive substances.” This is for all
people and the draft position papers provides information to the Psychoactive
Substances Regulatory Authority on what could be undertaken in Manurewa to
implement the legislation. The Maori population is well represented in Manurewa
and includes individuals of Mana Whenua descent and mataawaka whose tribal
links rest outside the area. Added to which Manurewa has one of the highest
populations of young people under 25 years of age in Auckland of which Maori
are strongly represented.
General

are no implementation issues for Auckland Council as the position paper has
been prepared to provide a perspective from Manurewa Local Board to inform
regulations being prepared by the Ministry of Health, Psychoactive Substance

To: Hamilton City Council
From: Manurewa Local
Board (Auckland Council)
SUBMISSION FROM THE
MANUREWA LOCAL BOARD TO THE HAMILTON CITY COUNCIL ONTHE PROPOSED HAMILTON CITY
PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES POLICY (LOCAL APPROVED PRODUCTS).
1. The
Manurewa Local Board is one of 21 Local Boards under Auckland Council and is
located in Southern part of Auckland.
2. The
Manurewa Local Board would like to express its support for the intent of the
Proposed Hamilton City Psychoactive Substances Policy (Local Approved
Products).
3. The
Manurewa Local Board has taken a strong advocacy position against the sale of
psychoactive substances. In 2013 we advocated for Auckland Council to put in
place a Local Approved Products Policy and sought support from other Local
Boards across Auckland. Over 5000 signatures were collected in the Manurewa
Town Centre opposed to legal highs being sold in Manurewa.
4. In
Dec 2013 we commissioned a Position Paper to be written expressing our views on
the sale of ‘legal highs’ within the Manurewa Local Board area.
5. We
are continuing to advocate to Auckland Council to pursue a similar policy path
as Hamilton Council.
6. The
Manurewa Local Board’s position paper will be taking a similar view as the
Proposed Hamilton City policy on the sale of Psychoactive Substances by calling
for a restriction on the sale of Psychoactive Substances to the Manurewa Town
Centre and to restrict stores selling these products from being within 100m of
any sensitive sites within the Town Centre.
7. We
also support restrictions on the density of stores selling Approved Products
within the approved areas so as to reduce the possible density of stores
selling these products.
8. Ultimately
we believe that Local Approved Product Policies will allow communities across
New Zealand to be able to implement further regulative powers which will
protect themselves (particularly young and at risk people) from the sale of
these substances.
9. We
wish to speak in support of this submission.

File No.:
CP2014/00711
Purpose

purpose of this report is for the Manurewa Local Board to appoint one

Discussion
4. A number of
external organisations provide for the formal participation of elected members
in their affairs. Elected member appointees will have a variety of duties and
liabilities depending on the individual organisation. Board members may provide
updates of their activities with their allocated organisations at local board
meetings.
5. The reasons
for participation in external organisations can be described in a number of
ways:
· a trust deed of an organisation
providing for the council to appoint a trustee
· an organisation of interest to the council simply inviting representation at its
meetings
· associations entered into by the
council which provide for representation - such as Local Government New Zealand
(LGNZ)
· organisation governance,
or project or programme oversight, such as regional or local parks management
groups
· a statutory or regulatory provision
(for example a regulation providing for a community liaison committee)
· a resource consent requiring the
formation of a representative committee
6. At the commencement of each triennium, committees
and local boards recommend appointments to outside organisations as appropriate
and the governing body reviews and either makes
the appointments it sees fit and delegates the remaining appointments to local
boards. At the end of each triennium, appointments to outside organisations
must be reviewed by the appropriate officers as to current relevance, and a
recommendation made to the appointing body as to whether or not representation
should be continued.
7. At the 12
December 2013 Manurewa Local Board meeting the Board appointed members to
various outside organisations. The Auckland Airport Noise Committee
Consultative Group appointment was inadvertently omitted from the list.
8. It is
recommended that the board appoint one representative, and one alternate
representative for each organisation and community network listed in the
recommendations.
Consideration
Local
Board Views
9. This report
seeks the local board’s decision on representatives to outside organisations
and community networks.
10. The decisions
in this report fall within the local board’s delegated authority.
Māori Impact Statement
11. This report
has no specific impact on Māori. It covers appointments of local board
members to outside organisations and community networks to represent the view
of local communities, including Māori communities.
General
12. Members are
delegated in their capacity as elected local board members. Should they no
longer be a local board member, their nominations would be automatically
repealed.
13. Elected representatives may be part of any
organisation in their private capacity and personal interests.
14. Elected representatives are encouraged to disclose
memberships to external orgasniations in the conflict of interest register.
Implementation Issues
15. There are no
implementation issues.

Discussion
5. The Local

reasonable opportunity to be heard.

in traditional style.
c) that forum style regional hearings are divided into days which
are allocated to business, community groups and individuals, with the
individual hearing possibly having some topic-based tables.
d) that the regional hearings panel divide into panels should the
number of key stakeholders become too great for all to be
heard in the time allowed for traditional
regional hearings, thereby allowing more key stakeholders to be heard in the
timeframe available.
e) that submissions containing both regional and local content
will default to the local hearings panel to be heard, noting that if a
significant volume of regional submissions are received, they may also be
allocated to local hearings.

1. Financial quarterly report for period
ended September 2013
Debbie Pinfold
(Lead Financial Advisor) took the Board through the financial quarterly
report for the period ended September 2013.
Board members
expressed frustration that they had very little control over the budget, for
example, the static guards at the Clendon Library.
Debbie
explained that the Board only really have about five budget lines with any
discretion to move budgets around.
Angela explained that
- for each asset
there is a consequential operational expenditure component.
- The Manurewa
Local Board area is asset poor.
- The Board are responsible for ensuring the budget is
balanced.
Debbie
explained the reporting that the Board will be receiving going forward.
The Board
wanted to have a very good understanding of the budgets. The Chair and
Deputy Chair have organised monthly financial updates.
Debbie explained:
- that there is
a lot of source data that has been incorrectly coded which defaults to the
regional budget. Debbie has to find the money and make sure it is allocated
to the correct Board. This is being worked through.
- that the OSCAR subsidy for the Nathan Homestead after school
programme is paid to Council, then Council pays the staff.

1. Parks
Service Levels
Mark Bowater,
Manager – Local and Sports Parks gave an overview of the parks contracts and
service levels since transition in 2010. He stated that initial asset data
had been inaccurate and that a considerable amount of time had been invested
in obtaining accurate data and renegotiating contracts where necessary to fill
gaps. Service levels had now been set regionally and contractors were
performing to required standards.
Councillor
Penrose felt that there was still confusion internally and externally
concerning who undertook some works especially around the motorway. This
could be Auckland Transport, Auckland Council, New Zealand Transport Agency
or the Motorway Alliance.
Action:
Maps were
to be presented to the Auckland Council’s Strategy and Finance Committee in
the near future outlining these responsibilities and who was responsible for
actions.
The following
issues were raised:
Questions were
asked as to why some berms were mowed and not others. Berms outside parks
were mowed but some private berms were also mowed. This was because Auckland
Transport had a hardship fund which could be applied for. This was for
people who had disabilities or other problems which prohibited them from
mowing lawns.
Some areas
around the Pahurehure outlet were not being mowed.
Action:
Paul Dabbs
was to liaise with Board Member Graham Purdy concerning the surrounds of the
Pahurehure inlet not being mown.
Massey Park –
Rubbish collection had been unsatisfactory. Contractors had been instructed
to undertake daily pickup.
Action:
Paul Dabbs
to investigate whether daily pickup was taking place from Massey Park.
Cemeteries –
Still felt that Gatland Road Cemetery was not being maintained as well as it
should be. Also request contractors not to park in parking spaces on the
edge of the cemetery when a service was being held. Not only were they
taking up valuable parking spaces but it was felt it was disrespectful.
Walkways and
Alleyways – Some confusion between who undertook the maintenance of these
areas. It was understood that if it was a road to a park it was parks responsibility,
if it was a road to a road it was Auckland Transports responsibility.
Contractors
timeframes – needed to be a bit more flexible eg. During heavy rain as work
being undertaken was damaging areas.
McLennan Park
– area around settlement ponds not being maintained.
Action:
Parks staff
to report back to the Papakura Local Board on the above issues.
Clendon Park
Carpark – Needed new lock on gate. Had been reported but was taking some
time to fix.
Action
Parks staff
to report back to Manurewa Local Board.
Quality
Control was questioned. This was undertaken in four ways:
1. Contractor system
2. Independent Auditor
3. Council Rangers
4. Call Centre Complaints and feedback
Malcolm Page
was to report back to both the Manurewa and Papakura Local Boards in
March/April 2014 concerning Levels of Service. At this time the Boards would
be given an opportunity to discuss the levels set and contribute financially
if they wanted the levels raised.
|
|
2. Redoubt
– Mill Road Update
Theunis Van
Schalkwyk, Project Director Key Agency Initiatives – Auckland Transport made
a powerpoint presentation to the board (Attachment A).
Action:
The Board
Members requested that a map outlining crash sites on Mill Road be supplied
to the Board, Councillors Penrose and Sir John Walker.
Key dates
included:
- First quarter 2014 – start
feasibility/investigation of central and southern sections
- Second quarter 2014 – northern section NoR
lodged
- Late 2014/early 2015 – public notification
and submissions for northern section NoR
- 2017 – 2019 – construction of key junction
improvements: Hollyford Road and upgrade of Redoubt Road between State
Highway 1 and Hollyford Intersection
- 2020 onwards – phased construction along Mill
Road corridor and Murphys Road driven by growth.
Papakura Board
Members expressed concern regarding the proposed route which had been defined
by the Papakura District Council and the effect and anxiety this was causing
residents and homeowners. This proposed route had been included in past maps
and these residents were having trouble selling or developing properties
because of this proposal.
Action:
Auckland
Transport and the Board was to work closely together to alleviate these
community concerns as soon as possible.
Auckland
Transport were to supply the Boards with an update in February 2014 with some
key messages around the project that the Board Members can use when the
community is asking questions.
