Comments

Monthly Overview and Implementation Issues Update

INFORMATION REPORTS

PUBLIC TRANSPORT FARE CHANGES FROM 6 JULY

2. Auckland Transport has completed its Annual Fare Review which saw ticket prices on buses, trains and ferries change from 6 July. From that date adults who use the AT HOP card for their travel will receive a 20% discount off the single trip adult cash fare (excluding NiteRider, Airbus Express and Waiheke ferry services). Child and tertiary AT HOP users will also continue to receive discounts on most services, when compared to the equivalent cash fares. In contrast most cash fares for bus and train and some cash fares for ferry will increase (some AT HOP fares for ferries will also increase).

3. The annual review takes into account operator cost increases (e.g. fuel and wages), revenue and patronage movements. Auckland Transport is also undertaking a strategic review of all public transport costs and pricing and this is due to be completed towards the end of the year.

4. Auckland Transport believes that Public transport must be seen as a viable alternative to the car if Auckland is to even begin to resolve its transport problems and by making travel even more attractive on the AT HOP card it is hoped that more people will switch to public transport.

5. In addition to an increased discount on AT HOP Auckland Transport has removed the 25 cent top-up fee and reduced the minimum top-up amount on the card from $10 to $5. The card itself will also remain at $5 until at least 31 January 2015.

6. From 6 July when the new fares were implemented, cash fares are now in 50 cent multiples as this reduces cash handling on buses in particular. (The exception to this is the City LINK child cash fare which will remain at 30 cents). Auckland Transport is hoping to move to implementing an exact fare/no change given policy in the future and will investigate the potential of removing cash fares altogether, as has recently been introduced in Sydney.

INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT OF NZ POLICE FIXED SPEED CAMERAS

7. Auckland will be the recipient of six of the twelve new digital Fixed Speed Cameras released by the New Zealand police to help reduce speed-related crash risk across the country.

8. This is a significant national and regional milestone for road safety as a whole, and attached is the NZ Police media release for your info, as you may get public enquiries in response to this.

Key points include:

· 12 new digital Fixed Speed Cameras announced, six of which are in Auckland: two replacing old sites and four new sites (locations in media release attached)

· New robust digital and wireless Fixed Speed Camera technology

· Proven to reduce speed and crash-risk at high-risk locations

· Located at high-risk crash sites, & based on robust site assessment

· Site selection included input from Police, NZTA, Auckland Transport, Councils, AA

· Part of national Safe Journeys Action Plan to create Safe Speeds

· 76% of New Zealanders support speed enforcement to help reduce fatalities on the roads

· Speeding tickets do not generate revenue for Police

· Another 44 digital speed cameras to be rolled out nationally in the next 18 months

· Progress also underway on three Red Light Cameras based on a similar methodology and technology

9. The New Zealand Police will be installing and replacing six Fixed Digital Speed Cameras at the following high-risk speed-related crash locations:

10. Replacement of Existing Wet-film Fixed Speed Camera with New Digital Fixed Speed Camera:

· 620 Great South Road, Otahuhu: Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board

· 3236 Great North Road, Fruitvale: Whau Local Board

11. Installation of New Digital Speed Cameras:

· 57 Mill Road, Totara Park: Manurewa-Papakura Local Board

· 79 Murphys Road, Totara Park: Howick Local Board

· 174 Candia Road, Waitakere: Waitakere Ranges Local Board

· 3 Tamaki Drive, Orakei: Orakei Local Board

URBAN MOTORCYCLE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT

12. Auckland Transport is currently working on an Urban Motorcycle Demonstration project on Great North Road/Parrs Cross Road and West Coast Road/Swanson Road.

13. Motorcycle riding requires a higher level of both vehicle control and cognitive skills than car driving. The potential outcomes of any crash, whether caused by the rider, other road users, the road environment or the vehicle itself, are severe. The risk of a motorcyclist being killed or seriously injured in a crash is about 18 times higher than for a car driver.

14. As part of the investigation Auckland Transport are looking at the options of the removal of clearways and parking to be able to achieve a more consistent road layout throughout the routes.

15. As part of the investigation AT are also looking at some intersection improvements, signage improvements, pedestrian improvements, potential operational capacity improvements. This is all in early stages and AT will be presenting this project to the Local Board for feedback

MORE THAN 200,000 YOUNG AUCKLANDERS SIGNED UP TO TRAVELWISE

16. Young Aucklanders are getting the Travelwise message with more than 200,000 students now taking part in the programme.

17. The success of the programme was celebrated on 26 June at an awards ceremony at Eden Park where schools were presented with certificates by Auckland Mayor Len Brown.

18. Since last year’s awards, 75 new schools have joined Travelwise bringing the total number of participating schools in Auckland to 400, which is a 23% increase since last year.

19. Schools north of the bridge came out on top with 31 gold awards. Schools in the South collected 11 gold awards, while Central/West schools took home five golds. A total of 241 awards were presented on the night, including 13 special awards.

20. Over all of Auckland, 70% of school aged students attend a Travelwise school. Broken down by sub-region, 83% of North schools, 78% of Central/West schools and 58% of South schools are Travelwise schools.

AUCKLAND TRANSPORT RE-TENDERING PUBLIC TRANSPORT CONTRACTS

21. Auckland Transport has begun a two-year-long process of seeking operators interested in tendering for Auckland’s rail, bus and ferry services, when current contracts expire.

22. Auckland Transport is conducting soundings across all three Public Transport modes at one time, even though their respective agreements expire at different times. It’s doing this because it is much more efficient to hold one event, rather than three, and it enables operators to consider tendering for more than one of the services. It also ensures that Auckland Transport’s processes are going forward together and potentially adding value to each other.

23. Re-tendering out contracts to a competitive market will ensure Auckland ratepayers receive the best value for money for public transport services.

24. This process is part of a wider Auckland Transport objective to enhance public transport operations in Auckland, as proposed in the Auckland’s Regional Public Transport Plan.

25. It is being planned to ensure that the transition between old and new agreements is seamless and the successful tenderers are able to start operations without affecting either customers or the service.

LAND TRANSPORT AMENDMENT BILL REPORT

26. Parliament's Transport and Industrial Relations Committee has reported back on the Land Transport Amendment Bill and recommended that it be passed with amendments proposed by the Committee. If passed into law as recommended, the changes will come into force on 1 December 2014.

27. The Land Transport Amendment Bill proposes a number of amendments to the Land Transport Act 1998, to address the problem of alcohol-impaired driving.

28. The bill seeks to:

· lower the adult legal alcohol limits from 80 to 50 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood, and from 400 to 250 micrograms per litre of breath;

· create an infringement regime for adult drivers who return an evidential breath test result in the range of 251 to 400 mcg per litre, with proposed penalties of an infringement fee of $200 and 50 demerit points (There would be no right to request a blood test in these circumstances.)

· set a higher infringement fee of $500 plus 50 demerit points, plus the costs of the blood test, for adult drivers who fail or refuse to undergo the breath test, and whose blood test results are in the infringement range (51 to 80 mg per 100 ml), and

· address a loophole in the Act regarding drivers who cannot give blood samples for medical or physical reasons, by allowing prosecution of a driver for refusing to permit a blood specimen to be taken on a subsequent occasion, if a required blood specimen again cannot be taken for physical or medical reasons.

RESPONSES AND PROGRESS REPORTS

BETHELLS ROAD YELLOW NO-PARKING LINES REQUEST

29. Auckland Transport has received a request from a resident at Bethells requesting the installation of broken yellow lines for people parking and walking to Lake Wainamu.

Update

30. Auckland Transport is investigating this request from a resident in Bethells.

SAFETY CONCERNS AT CAPTAIN SCOTT ROAD AND WEST COAST ROAD

31. The Glen Eden Business Association, through the Local Board public forum, requested that Auckland Transport investigate the safety concerns at the corner of Captain Scott Road and West Coast Road.

Update

32. Auckland Transport is currently investigating the safety concerns at this intersection and will report back their findings at the end of August.

DANGER CROSSING SEAVIEW ROAD, PIHA

33. Auckland Transport has received a public request for “slow down" strips, similar to those formerly in place at the junction of Piha Road & Scenic Drive, to be installed on Seaview Road. The requester believes it is very dangerous crossing Sea View Road, at the point where one footpath ends and the other footpath begins on the other side of the road.

Response

34. Preventing drivers from leaving the road is about awareness or risk. Keeping in mind the Piha community’s preference to limit road side signs Auckland Transport hope to achieve such awareness with the installation of the requested ‘SLOW’ road makings. These markings will be installed on each approach to the bend before the end of October 2014. Once the road markings have been in place for a while AT will review the impact they have had. If the impact is deemed unsatisfactory AT will at that point need to consider road side signs such as advance curve warning and speed signs to prepare drivers for the approaching bend.

35. From the photo sent to AT, there were concerns with the location where the children are waiting for the bus. Auckland Transport will contact the school and the bus operators to ensure that pick-up and drop-off activities are being carried out in a safe manner.

36. Looking at the suggestion of audio tactile markers, AT have had to remove these in the past from residential areas because of the sound pollution they cause when vehicles drive over them. Additionally, these tactile markers do not provide significant benefits unless there is enough shoulder width for a recovery area. For these reasons, AT cannot consider installing audio tactile markers.

37. Another suggestion was to install contrasting colours on the road surface. The most common coloured surfacing you may have seen is greyish and this is high friction surfacing. Because this surfacing is so expensive, both for the installation and maintenance, AT must install it sparingly. For this specific bend, the surfacing doesn’t meet the requirements and therefore it has not been approved.

NEW PEDESTRIAN CROSSING WARNING SIGNS REQUEST, TITIRANGI VILLAGE

38. The Titirangi Ratepayers and Residents Association request Auckland Transport to investigate installing warning signs on the new pedestrian crossing in Titirangi Village.

Update

39. The missing Pedestrian crossing signs have been installed.

ALBIONVALE ROAD,GLEN EDEN ROAD SAFETY CONCERNS

40. Auckland Transport has received a request from the residents of Albionvale Road to investigate a number of concerns. These concerns mainly relate to pedestrian safety and vehicle access.

Response

41. Auckland Transport has carried out an assessment of Albionvale Road to evaluate the feasibility of installing speed calming measures in this location. The speed data AT has collected shows that most (85th percentile) people are travelling at or below the 50km/h posted speed limit. The crash record for Albionvale Road for the past 5 years revealed that overall there have been a very low number of crashes on Albionvale Road.

42. When prioritised against other locations awaiting similar treatment, Albionvale Road was rated a low-medium priority, meaning that Albionvale Road will continue to operate as it is now and it is less likely to receive a funding allowance to carry out speed calming treatment in the near future.

43. While AT will not be installing speed humps/tables on this street at this stage, AT are investigating options to improve visibility at the intersection of Albionvale Road and West Coast Road which is restricted by the power pole. AT are considering short-term solutions while relocation of the power pole awaits further prioritisation. This potentially involves pushing the Albionvale Road limit line out with other road marking changes so that the power pole is not directly in the sight line and the visibility of the traffic from the east is improved.

DEDICATED PARKING FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTRE - LOCATED CNR OF CLAYBURN ROAD AND GLENVIEW ROAD.

44. Auckland Transport has received a request for dedicated parking for Early Childhood Centre employees at their premises on the Cnr Clayburn Road and Glenview Road.

Response

45. Auckland Transport has investigated the request for dedicated parking on Clayburn Road, Glen Eden, for teachers at the early childhood centre. The road reserve is a public asset where parking is provided on a first come first served basis and it is not possible for Auckland Transport (AT) to reserve sections for the use of private individuals or businesses. Unrestricted parking is available on the surrounding residential streets however AT does recognise that demand for parking in this area is high. Current discussions regarding the design for the new park and ride at Glen Eden will hopefully alleviate some of this pressure.

46. AT is of the opinion that “drop off pick up” restrictions are not a particularly effective measure and consider that as there is already an existing “drop off pick up” parking restriction on Glen View Road that an additional restriction is not justifiable. AT has found that “drop off pick up” restrictions only serve to attract parents to take their vehicle as close to the school as possible and as AT can never meet the demand this leads to frustration. Instead AT prefers parents to park a short distance from the school and walk to pick their children up.

PROPOSED BUS STOP RELOCATION – 28 CAPTAIN SCOTT ROAD AND PROPOSED BUS STOP UPGRADE 41 CAPTAIN SCOTT ROAD, GLEN EDEN

47. Auckland Transport is consulting on the proposed bus stop relocation from outside No. 32 Captain Scott Road to outside No. 28 Captain Scott Road and bus stop improvements at No. 41 Captain Scott Road. Auckland Transport is seeking feedback from directly affected property owners and occupiers on the proposal, including the Local Board.

48. The attached plan illustrates the proposed bus stop at No. 28 Captain Scott Road and the proposed upgrade of the bus stop outside No. 41 Captain Scott Road.

What are the proposed changes?

No. 28 Captain Scott Road

49. Auckland Transport is proposing to relocate the existing bus stop outside property No. 32 Captain Scott Road to outside No. 28 Captain Scott Road by installing bus stop road markings to indicate the location of the bus stop, new no stopping yellow lines at the front and back of the bus stop, and installing a new bus stop.

No. 41 Captain Scott Road

50. Auckland Transport is proposing to upgrade the existing bus stop outside No. 41 Captain Scott Road by installing bus stop road markings to indicate the location of the bus stop, new no stopping at all times yellow lines at the front and back of the bus stop, and installing a bus stop sign at the back of the bus stop.

Why is Auckland Trnasport relocating the bus stop from outside No. 32 Captain Scott Road to outside No. 28 Captain Scott Road?

51. As part of the Auckland Regional Public Transport Plan, Auckland Transport is actively making improvements to public transport facilities and street furnishings to improve the quality of the existing bus stop infrastructure.

52. Currently, there is no concrete hardstand area at the bus stop outside No. 32 Captain Scott Road and the berm is steep in this location. Passengers are forced to step on to the grass berm to access the bus, the berm can be uneven and slippery creating the potential for injury to boarding and exiting passengers. Outside No. 28 Captain Scott Road is a more suitable location for a bus stop because the berm is flatter. A passenger hardstand area at this location with a sealed smooth surface will provide a stable platform for passengers boarding and exiting the bus and this is particularly important for the accessibility of wheelchair users, parents with prams and the elderly. It also defines the waiting and circulating space around the bus stop area.

Why is Auckland Transport upgrading the bus stop outside No. 41 Captain Scott Road?

53. Currently, the bus stop is not defined by road markings. This can cause confusion as to the exact location of the bus stop and can lead to unauthorised vehicles parking in the bus stop. Buses may be unable to pull into and out of the bus stop and will be forced to stop partially or fully in the traffic lane.

What other issues have Auckland Transport considered when selecting these locations?

Loss of parking outside No. 28 Captain Scott Road

54. Auckland Transport acknowledges that this proposal will result in a loss of four on-street parking spaces. However, the addition of the broken yellow lines either side of the bus stop are necessary to ensure that the bus can safely enter and exit the bus stop. Often buses are unable to pull into the kerb properly when vehicles are parked too closely to the bus stop. This also creates an unsafe environment for bus passengers boarding and exiting the bus.

55. As the Road Controlling Authority, Auckland Transport controls the road reserve which is the entire corridor between property boundaries (e.g. footpaths, berms, and road). When determining how to utilise this space, Auckland Transport gives priority to safety, pedestrian facilities, bus stops, bus lanes, loading zones, traffic flow and cycle lanes over other uses. On-street parking is only permitted when there is not an activity of greater priority that requires use of the space. As such the improvements to the bus stop take priority over the use of this space for parking.

56. Further to this, there is widespread on-street parking available in the surrounding area, which can be utilised by vehicles affected by the parking removal.

Visibility from driveways near 28 Captain Scott Road

57. Currently on-street parking limits the visibility from the driveways either side of the proposed bus stop outside No. 28 Captain Scott Road. Replacing the on-street parking with a bus stop should improve visibility from these driveways because generally buses will only occupy the bus stop for about 10 to 20 seconds at a time.

Loss of parking outside No. 41 Captain Scott Road

58. Auckland Transport acknowledges that this proposal will result in a loss of one on-street parking space. However, the addition of the broken yellow lines either side of the bus stop are necessary to ensure that the bus can safely enter and exit the bus stop. Often buses are unable to pull into the kerb properly when vehicles are parked too closely to the bus stop. This also creates an unsafe environment for bus passengers boarding and exiting the bus.

Visibility from driveway 39/37 Captain Scott Road

59. Currently on-street parking limits the visibility from this driveway looking south. Replacing the on-street parking with bus stop road markings and no stopping yellow lines road markings should improve visibility from this driveway, because, generally buses will only occupy the bus stop for about 10 to 20 seconds at a time.

When will the proposed changes be implemented?

60. These changes are planned to be implemented in late 2014

PROPOSED BUS STOP – 112 ATKINSON ROAD

61. Auckland Transport is consulting on the proposed relocation of the bus stop from outside 116 Atkinson Road to outside 112 Atkinson Road. Feedback is being obtained directly affected property owners and occupiers on the proposal.

What are the proposed changes?

62. Auckland Transport is proposing to relocate the bus stop from outside 116 Atkinson Road further north to outside 112 Atkinson Road. It is also proposed to install a bus shelter and concrete hardstand at the new location. The relocated bus stop will include a bus stop sign, road markings to indicate the location of the bus stop. The no stopping yellow lines south of the bus stop will be extended by 3m.

Why is Auckland Transport relocating the bus stop?

63. Auckland Transport has recently completed consultation on changes to the Green Bay and Titirangi bus routes.

64. As a result of this consultation buses will no longer run down Kaurilands Road. Instead, the 163 bus service is being renumbered as 153 and will follow Glendale Road into Glen Eden instead of Kaurilands Road. There are also bus services that will run down the full length of Atkinson Road that connect Titirangi, Glen Eden and New Lynn. It was therefore desirable to bring the stop outside 116 Atkinson Road as close to the intersection with Kaurilands Road as possible to provide for this catchment. Potential locations for the bus stop close to Kaurilands Road are limited given the shops, the proximity of Kaurilands School and the zebra crossing. Due to these factors the most suitable location is outside 112 Atkinson Road.

What other issues have Auckland Transport considered when selecting this location?

65. The position of the proposed shelter has been carefully determined to ensure that visibility for drivers’ entering and exiting the driveway is not obscured.

When will the proposed changes be implemented?

66. These changes are planned to be implemented in mid-late 2014. . Feeback from the Local Board is welcomed.

CAT EYE’S REQUEST ON HENDERSON VALLEY ROAD, HENDERSON

67. The Henderson Valley Residents &Ratepayers Association has requested Auckland Transport to look at installing Cat Eyes to minimise people missing the curve and veering into the opposite lane on Henderson Valley Road near Carey Park.

Update

68. Auckland Transport is investigating this request.

WALKING SCHOOL BUS AT TOWNSHIP ROAD, WAITAKERE

69. A request has been made through to Auckland Transport to investigate safety issues at the designated crossing for the Walking School Bus (WSB) children at Township Road, Waitakere.

Update

70. Auckland Transport are currently investigating crossing facility options on Township Road and will be undertaking pedestrian and traffic counts to evaluate the most appropriate solution. AT will also undertake surveys. The existing pram crossings on Township Road will be reviewed as part of this investigation. The Local Board can expect to receive an update by mid –September.

Key Agency Initiatives

SMART (South Western Multimodal Airport Rapid Transit) Project

3. Investigation into protecting a rail (rapid transit) corridor from Onehunga to the Auckland airport then connecting back to the main trunk line at Puhinui forming a rail loop.

As part of planning for the future public transport network, Auckland Transport has been talking to Auckland Airport about making provision for a potential rapid transit corridor in their master plan. Rail has been identified as the best long term public transport option for improving transport in Auckland’s airport and south western area. Auckland Airport has allowed for a rail corridor and station at the terminal as part of their latest master plan. There are no confirmed alignments for rapid transit links outside the airport property yet and further work is required to confirm this and the timing of any construction. The project is currently in the development phase and public consultation will be carried out when more certainty on feasible alignments and station locations are reached.

East West Link

4. The primary objective of the project is to provide an improved freight connection between SH20/Onehunga and the Southdown (MetroPort) and adjoining SH1 inland port. It is expected that there will be growth of freight transport via this corridor. Safety, amenity, and service upgrades will also be considered. At the moment, we are looking to see what can be provided within the current road reserve but some land purchase may be required.

5. The project team has started the process for procurement of professional services contract for the production of the Detailed Business Case in FY 2014/15, subject to approval of funding. The contract will be lead by the Transport Agency, as principal. Indicatively, the construction is scheduled to start by 2016/2017 with forecast completion by 2019/2020.

PT Development

City Rail Link

6. The CRL is a 3.5km double track underground electrified rail line running under Auckland City centre from Britomart Station to the Western Line near the existing Mt Eden Station. Britomart would become a through station and provide for 3 intermediate stations in the Aotea, Karangahape Road and Newton areas. Following AT confirmation of the designated route recommended by the Independent Planning Commission, appeals were received from 6 parties and the Project Team are currently working with those appellants to work through matters raised.

Distributed Stabling – Detailed Design

7. The project entails the development of outstabling facilities which support rail services throughout the region. These facilities are located in the South, CBD and West and comprise facilities for overnight stabling of trains and staff facilities. Installation of Trandev staff facilities at Strand will be completed over the next 4 months.

Electrification Safety Works

8. This project will identify and address safety risks arising from the introduction of overhead electrified traction infrastructure to the Auckland rail network.

Road Design and Development

14. Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive Scheme Cycle Way

Provision of an off road Cycle highway from Glen Innes Rail Station to Tamaki Drive

This project is being delivered jointly with NZTA. Route options have been selected and the process of refining these (considering constructability issues) is underway.

15. Tamaki Drive Corridor upgrade

This a project will consider Tamaki Drive from Quay Street through to St Helliers. We will be looking at present and future land uses and how they impact on the function of the road, future traffic growth (improving traffic flows) and the provision of improved Public Transport. Initial assessment of Ngapipi Bridge and benchmarking of modal use is underway.

16. Quay Street - Seawall Seismic Upgrade

This project deals with the proposed upgrade to Quay Street that would give effect to the aspirations of the City Centre Master Plan for the severance between sea and city to be minimised and to provide priority to pedestrians and cyclists over other travel modes. Further objectives are to improve the interface between the public transport facilities that are concentrated in the Lower Queen Street area. The project also deals with associated enabling works that include the seismic upgrade of the Quay Street seawall.

Two primary solution methodologies have been identified and reviewed.
Procurement strategy being prepared; this will assess Early Contractor Involvement and Design & Construct with a recommendation for a preferred option for AT Board approval.

17. Waterview Cycle Way connection

The Waterview Walking and Cycling project is required as a condition of the decision of the Waterview Connection SH20-16 Motorway Board of Inquiry decision to mitigate adverse social effects resulting from the loss of open space and reserves. The condition requires the provision of the shared path between and including the proposed Alford Street Bridge and the proposed Soljak Place Bridge a length of approximately 3.4km. The new facility will provide a missing link in the existing Auckland Regional Cycle Network. Auckland Transport is required to prepare a design sufficient to submit as part of Notice of Requirement and Resource Consent documentation, and obtain the necessary land owner and statutory approvals for the shared path. The land purchase process will be managed by Auckland Transport. Preferred route option has been identified, although some negotiations are still underway with some landowners. Public consultation is planned for 23 and 24 July.

Parking and Enforcement

32. Fanshawe Street Bus Lane

Enforcement implemented the enforcement for the new bus lane on Fanshawe Street.
The warnings period was extended to four weeks due to the high volumes of traffic. A weeks stand-down followed before live enforcement commenced. To date we are experiencing very good compliance with 130 infringements being issued since live launch on 04th June. This represents an average of just 14 per enforcement day across all enforcement zones on Fanshawe Street.
Compare this to Onewa Rd that has been live for several years and we average 20 per day across that sector.

33. Kingsland Paid Parking Zone

Consultation was carried out in December 2013 on changes to the parking in the Kingsland town centre. The purpose of changes was to improve the parking availability and give customers flexibility on length of stay. Currently there are mostly 60 minute time restrictions in Kingsland and parking is near capacity during the middle of the day, evenings and weekends. The project proposes using pay and display parking with no time limits, a 10 minute grace period and demand responsive pricing. Prices will be set to achieve a target occupancy range of 70-90% at peak times. There was over 50% support for the proposal and the Kingsland Business Association supports. The parking changes will go live on the 14th July and there will be advisory signs in Kingsland for two weeks prior.

34. Newmarket Paid Parking Zone

Consultation was carried out in December 2013 on changes to the parking in the Newmarket. The purpose of changes was to improve the parking availability and give customers flexibility on length of stay. Currently there are a wide range of parking restrictions in Newmarket which create confusion for customers. Parking is near capacity on certain streets which creates increased levels of congestion as cars circle to find parking. The project proposes using pay and display parking with no time limits, a 10 minute grace period and demand responsive pricing. Prices will be set to achieve a target occupancy range of 70-90% at peak times. Most streets in Newmarket already have pay and display however some streets will be converted from time restrictions to pay and display. There was over 50% support for the proposal and the Newmarket Business Association supports. The parking changes will go live in early August.

34. Auckland Parking Discussion Document

The parking discussion document was released in May 2014. The document provides commentary on key parking challenges and invites the public to send feedback and ideas on how we manage parking into the future. We’ve made suggestions on how AT might approach various parking challenges and asked the public what they think on themes such as removal of parking on arterial roads, management of parking within the city centre and other town centres, and extension of park and rides. The document has attracted a lot of media attention and there has been over 350 submissions so far. Consultation runs until 31st July 2014.

• achieve equitable distribution of funds across the board area as a whole and support our diverse communities

• align with Maori outcomes and aspirations.

• champion smoke-free events, particularly those targeting children, young people and their families

• ensure that local events cater for our young people, providing a range of free and safe opportunities for them to attend and participate

• support events which both engage the community and welcome visitors.

• involve and support the local economy and build community

Consultation Findings for the Piha Dog Bylaw Signage Proposal and Approval for a Revised Work Programme

File No.: CP2014/14139

Purpose

1. To report findings of consultation undertaken on the proposal to upgrade dog bylaw signage at the Piha beach reserves and to seek approval for a revised work programme.

Executive summary

2. Consultation was undertaken on a proposal to upgrade the dog bylaw signage at Piha from 20 December 2013 to 7 February 2014 with known stakeholders and local residents.

3. Consultation findings showed support for the number and position of signs proposed in car parks however concerns were raised about the number and position of signs proposed on the beach.

4. Signage proposed for the beach area will be minimised and where practical, end posts of walkways will be used to accommodate signage. If a walkway post is not available for this purpose it is proposed to install a rough saw, square wooden post to accommodate the signage.

Recommendation/s

That the Waitākere Ranges Local Board:

a) Notes the consultation findings for the Piha Dog Bylaw Signage Proposal.

b) Approves the revised work programme to upgrade dog bylaw signage at Piha.

Comments

Consultation Findings

5. It was requested by the Waitakere Ranges Local Board that a proposal for the upgrade of the Piha dog bylaw signage be consulted upon with the local residents and known stakeholders.

6. The Piha dog bylaw is complex and an upgrade of signage is required to better inform park users of the current bylaw requirements and to clearly show areas of Piha beach reserves where dogs are prohibited, and areas which are on and off leash.

7. It is proposed to upgrade signage in reserve car parks which shows dog access areas (shown in Attachment A), and to utilise existing walkway posts where ever possible to indicate the corresponding colour coded dog access areas (shown in Attachment F). Council staff will investigate to requirement to provide information about potential the fine which applies when council bylaws are broken.

Consultation was carried out between 20 December 2013 and 7 February 2014. 22 responses were received. The summary was as follows:

Question asked:	Yes	No
Q1 - Do you support the number of signs proposed to be installed in the car parks?	13	1
Q2 - Do you support the position of signs proposed to be installed in the car parks?	13	2
Q3 - Do you support the number of indicator posts proposed to be installed on the beach?	8	6
Q4 - Do you support the position of the signs proposed on the beach?	8	6

Proposed Signage Upgrade

8. Considering feedback through the consultation process it is proposed to upgrade the Piha dog bylaw signage as follows:

A) Retain the number and position of signs to be installed in the car parks of the reserves. These signs show an overall map of dog access areas at Piha (example shown in Attachment A);

B) Reduce the number of indicators proposed to be mounted on the walkway posts. If a post is not currently in a suitable position it is proposed to install a new rough sawn square wooden post. These indicators are colour coded markers designed to demarcate dog access areas (example shown as Attachment F); and

C) Investigate the possible addition of infringement information such as the level of a fine, onto the dog access area signage.

9. Attachments B, C and D provide maps showing the proposed position of map signage and indicators mounted on walkway posts. No indicator posts are proposed to be placed in the vicinity of Lion Rock. Attachment E provides a photo montage of sites proposed for dog access areas maps.

10. Council staff will monitor the impact of the upgraded signage and request that Council’s animal control unit assist with public education on site.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

11. Consultation findings have been discussed with the Waitakere Ranges Local Board Parks Portfolio holder and she is supportive of reducing the number of indicators on walkway posts.

Maori impact statement

12. Local iwi were consulted on the proposed plan and no feedback was received regarding the proposal.

Implementation

13. It is requested that new signage is installed prior to Labour Day weekend in late October. Signage design relies on resource provided by the Integrated Communications team within Council.

Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area Programme Allocation For The 2014/2015 Financial Year

File No.: CP2014/15884

Purpose

1. To allocate funding from the Local Board’s Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area Programme budget for the 2014/2015 financial year to specific projects and initiatives within the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area.

Executive summary

2. The Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area Programme assists the implementation of the objectives of the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area Act 2008 (‘the Act’) alongside other relevant Council and community activities and programmes. A total of $225,173 is available for allocation in the 2014/15 financial year. This report recommends the allocation of funding across the following projects that contribute to implementing the Act:

· Preparation of the Bethells Local Area Plan under the Act

· Implementation of approved Local Area Plans

· Addressing issues and recommendations arising from the 2013 Monitoring Report

· Continuation of the Sustainable Neighbourhoods Programme.

3. This report recommends the allocation of $186,673 funding across eleven projects that contribute to implementing the Act, with a decision on allocating the balance of $38,500 on the remaining candidate project to be made before the end of November 2014.

4. The projects are identified in the main body of the report, and are described in more detail in Attachment A. Attachment A describes each project or initiative, its current status (new or continuing) and timeframes, key implementation partners (Council and Council Controlled Organisations), alignment with the Act and emerging Local Board Plan 2014-17 and recommended budget allocation.

5. The projects and initiatives were discussed by the Waitākere Ranges Local Board at its workshops on 5 June and 24 July 2014.

Recommendation/s

That the Waitākere Ranges Local Board:

a) Allocates the 2014/15 financial year Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area Act Programme budget as follows:

i) Local Area Plan for Bethells Beach / Te Henga and the Waitākere Valley - $20,173

ii) Web site development - $2,000

iii) ‘Living in the Bush’ - information and advice - $15,000

iv) Annual Local Board/community forum on WRHA Act implementation (across all topics/objectives) - $5,000

v) Heritage Area Conservation Network forum – $4,000

vi) Sustainable Neighbourhoods Programme – $90,000

vii) Strategic Weed Projects – $25,000

viii) Long Tailed Bat research/protection/recovery - $5,000

ix) Heritage Site Mapping – Phase 1 - $12,500

x) Local business stocktake – $5,000

xi) Small business facilitation - $3,000

b) Support in principle the funding of the following project but defer a decision on allocation until further information is provided on this project:

i) Heritage Site Mapping –Stage 1 field work – up to $38,500

c) Agree that a decision on the project under (b) will need to be made before the end of November 2014

d) Note a mid year review of all projects will be provided if required to the Local Board at its February 2015 meeting.

Comments

6. The Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area Programme encompasses all Council and CCO activities which help to achieve the objectives of the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area Act 2008 (‘the Act’). This includes activities which are part of wider regionally funded programmes, and specific activities identified for Local Board funding (including strategic weed management and kauri die back initiatives, and a Visitor Management Plan). A total of $225,173 is available for allocation in the 2014/15 financial year. This budget is separate from regional budgets (which also assist in implementing the objectives of the Act) or other Local Board funding for activities that lie outside the scope of the Act.

7. In previous years the Local Board has given priority to projects and actions identified in approved Local Area Plans (LAPs). LAPs set out how the Act is to be applied locally. Candidate projects have been selected on the basis of their alignment with the following:

· The purpose and objectives of the Act itself, including the recommendations of the first five year monitoring report (approved in 2013) , which assessed progress towards achieving the Act’s objectives

· The emerging priorities in the Draft Waitākere Ranges Local Board Plan

· The objectives and actions identified in the four approved Local Area Plans prepared under the Act to date.

8. A table of approximately 70 potential projects has been prepared and was circulated to the Local Board prior to the workshop held on 24 July 2014. Following that workshop, a ‘shortlist’ of projects for funding in 2014/15 has been identified and prioritised (refer to Attachment A, Table 1). This is based on a combination of the projects’ strategic and operational importance (as identified in the Monitoring Report and Draft Local Board Plan) and the likelihood of successful implementation of the project in the current financial year. The projects have been categorized according to recommended funding priority. The latter are broadly consistent with those used in monitoring and reporting on Act and its implementation.

9. Some of the shortlisted projects can proceed immediately, whilst others require further scoping or resolution of issues before their likelihood of proceeding this financial year can be determined. It is therefore recommended that funding approval is given to a proportion of the projects, whilst others are supported in principle but with final prioritization and a decision on funding allocation deferred until further information is available (by the end of November 2014).

10. Based on consideration of the above, projects falling into the first category (recommended for immediate funding) are as follows.

Planning, communications and awareness-raising

· Local Area Plan for Bethells Beach/Te Henga and the Waitākere Valley - continued preparation - $20,173

· Web site development - Re-establishment of web site/web pages for the WRHA (design and/or maintenance work) - $2,000

· ‘Living in the Bush’ Review and re-introduction of advisory information brochures and web-based material for landowners and occupiers on ecosystem/weed management, building design, and sustainable environmental practices - $15,000

· Annual Local Board/community forum to discuss progress in implementing the WRHA Act (across all topics/objectives) - $5,000

· Heritage Area Conservation Network forum – support for event to promote information sharing, best practice and improved networking between landowners, community groups and Council units involved in ecosystem restoration and management - $4,000

Ecosystem management

· Sustainable Neighbourhoods Programme – continued support (pending review) - $90,000

· Strategic Weed Projects – establish two new sites in approved LAP areas or other identified priority areas and follow-up work at previously established sites -$25,000

Biodiversity

· Long Tailed Bat - research/protection/recovery - $5,000

Built/Cultural Heritage

· Heritage Site Mapping – completion of Phase 1 (desk top assessment and planning) - $12,500

Community economic and social wellbeing

· Local business stock take – completion and reporting - $5,000

· Small business facilitation mentoring/workshops - $3,000. This would occur in conjunction with Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED)

11. This leaves $38,500 to be allocated to following recommended project.

· Heritage Site Mapping –Stage 1 field work. Dependent on Phase 1 Report recommendations – $38,500

12. Weed management work (over and above the $80,000 separately budgeted by the Local Board). This is dependent on the priorities identified in the Weed Management Plan for the WRHA which is proposed for preparation early in the 2014/15 financial year. Decisions on this remaining allocation will need to be made before November 2014 if the project is to be completed this financial year.

13. The remaining candidate projects listed in Attachment A would only be considered for funding this financial year if any of the above projects are delayed or do not require all of the funding allocated to them. Progress will be reviewed and reported if required at the end of February 2015.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

14. All of the projects identified either complete or build upon existing projects funded by the Local Board in the 2012/2013 and 2013/14 financial years, or relate to recommendations from the Five Year Monitoring Report or Local Area Plans, which have been approved by the Local Board. All of the projects are closely aligned to the emerging priorities in the Draft Local Board Plan 2014-17 and will help to implement it. The key objectives, projects, and indicative funding allocation were considered by Local Board members at workshops on 5 June and 24 July 2013, and the recommendations have been updated in the light of feedback from those workshops.

Maori impact statement

15. Mana whenua (Te Kawerau a Maki and Ngati Whatua) have not been specifically consulted on this report but one of the key objectives identified within it relates to the development of mechanisms for greater engagement with mana whenua to better meet the requirements of the Act. Consultation with mana whenua and their involvement in the preparation of the Bethels/Te Henga Local Area Plan is already underway. The further work on the Heritage Sites Survey will also require consultation with mana whenua, with a view to promoting their role as kaitiaki of pre-European settlement sites.

Implementation

16. Individual projects have been discussed with the lead implementation partners within Auckland Council and have their support. The project list as a whole has also been considered and is generally supported by Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area Programme Co-ordination Group. Implementation of projects within the suggested timeframes is dependent on staff availability and expertise. Where there is a high risk that appropriate staff time/expertise will not be available, outside contractors will be utilised, and allowance has been made for this in the allocation of funds to each project.
