Psychoactive substances – draft Local Approved Product
Policy
File No.: CP2014/16214
Purpose
1. The purpose of
the report is to seek local board feedback on the proposed option for the draft
Local Approved Product Policy (LAPP).
Executive
summary
2. On 6 March 2014
the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee approved a work plan for the development
of Auckland Council’s LAPP (REG/2014/34). The LAPP will set rules regarding
where retail outlets of psychoactive substances may operate. The Psychoactive
Substances Act 2013 provides that a policy may regulate the location of retail
outlets by reference to broad areas within a district, proximity to other
premises selling approved products and/or distance from certain types of
premises such as schools, places of worship and other community facilities.
3. On 3 July the
Regional Strategy and Policy Committee considered a report setting out the
proposed content for the draft Local Approved Product Policy. The committee
agreed the following recommendations (REG/2014/86).
a) endorse
the proposed draft Local Approved Product Policy that will prevent the sale of
approved psychoactive substances in the following areas:
· high deprivation areas
as defined by the Ministry of Health’s Deprivation Index score of 8, 9 or 10
indicating areas that fall in the bottom 30% of deprivation scores
· neighbourhood centers as defined by the
unitary plan
· within 300m of a high school
· within 100m of a primary school
· within 300m of the mental health or
addiction treatment center
· within 500m of an existing psychoactive
substance retail licence
b) forward a copy
of this report to local boards to be considered on their agendas
c) note
that once all the local board feedback has been analysed, a final draft Local
Approved Product Policy (LAPP) will be presented to the committee on 9 October
2014 to be approved for public notification via the special consultative
procedure
d) note
the special consultative procedure will begin in November 2014 with the
expected final adoption of the policy in March 2015.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Manurewa Local Board:
a) provide
feedback on the draft Local Approved Product Policy option set out in
attachment A of the report entitled “Psychoactive substances – draft Local
Approved Product Policy”.
|
Comments
4. On 6 March 2014
the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee approved a work plan for the
development of Auckland Council’s LAPP (REG/2014/34). On 3 July the Regional
Strategy and Policy Committee endorsed a preferred option for the LAPP
(REG/2014/86).
5. The LAPP will
set rules regarding where retail outlets of psychoactive substances may
operate. The Psychoactive Substances Act 2013 provides that a policy may
regulate the location of retail outlets by reference to broad areas within a
district, proximity to other premises selling approved products and/or distance
from certain types of premises such as schools, places of worship and other
community facilities.
6. Six options
were considered for the LAPP. Three options were rejected prior to
consultation as not being able to achieve the outcomes for a successful LAPP.
The remaining three options were discussed with local boards, external
stakeholders and council staff. After consideration of feedback and relevant
research a preferred option was developed.
7. The preferred
option for the LAPP would prevent licences being granted in areas of high
deprivation, near high schools and near addiction and mental health treatment
centres. It would also limit how close to an existing shop a new shop could
open. This option would reduce the availability of these substances in areas
where their presence is likely to have the greatest potential for harm. The
prevention of harm is achieved while maintaining the intent of the government
to allow a regulated sale of these substances.
8. Further details
on the rationale for the preferred option for the LAPP are set out in the
report that went to the Regional Policy and Strategy Committee on 3 July
(attachment A). Local board feedback on this option is being sought through
this report. Local board feedback on this preferred option will inform the final
draft of the LAPP which will be reported to the Regional Strategy and Policy
Committee on 9 October. Local boards will an opportunity to provide feedback on
the final draft in November 2014 – February 2015.
Consideration
Local
board views and implications
9. Local board
views on the draft LAPP option are being sought via this report. Local boards
have previously provided feedback on possible options. Workshops on the
proposed options were held with all of the local boards except for Great
Barrier, Waiheke and Orakei local boards who declined to be involved in the
process. Of the remaining 18 local boards Whau declined to attend the workshop
and did not provide any feedback.
10. Of the 17 local
boards who took part in the LAPP workshops 13 endorsed the specified place
option as their preferred option. Four boards that for local reasons preferred
either the town centre or industrial option as they felt it provided tighter
restrictions in their areas. All of these local boards also provided the specified
areas as their second option acknowledging that it was unlikely that all local
boards would opt for their preferred option. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board
declined to provide a preferred option. All local board feedback was
considered in the selection and development of the option presented for
feedback in the current report.
Maori
impact statement
11. Māori are
over represented amongst the groups of vulnerable people likely to be affected
by using approved psychoactive substances. This over representation has two
effects. Firstly getting the right option for the LAPP to maximize harm
reduction will be more effective for Māori. Secondly, any solutions need
to be designed in close collaboration with Māori to ensure they are
workable and support wider initiatives aimed at improving Māori outcomes.
12. A workshop has
been undertaken with representatives from Hapai Te Hauora Tapui an agency
representing Māori health providers in the Auckland region. Council staff
will be working with the Independent Māori Statutory Board and Hapai Te
Hauora Tapui to set up hui for iwi feedback. Information from the workshop and
hui will be central to the development of the LAPP.

Review of Alcohol Control Bylaws - Proposed bylaw for
local board feedback
File No.: CP2014/19060
Purpose
1. The purpose of
the report is to provide local boards with a copy of the proposed Auckland
Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 and to request formal feedback by
resolution.
2. Local boards
are also requested to appoint a review panel to make recommendations to the
local board on the review of the local alcohol bans.
Executive
summary
3. On 22 July
2014, the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee recommended to the governing body to
adopt the Statement of Proposal for the proposed Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014
(Attachment A) for public consultation (resolution number RBC/2014/27). The governing body formally adopted the Statement of Proposal on 31
July 2014 (resolution number GB/2014/70). Following this discussion, the council commenced public consultation
(using the special consultative procedure), on 15 August 2014.
4. In addition to
the public consultation process, staff are seeking feedback from local boards
on the proposed bylaw.
5. The proposed
Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 will establish the bylaw structure and delegation
that will be used to make, review, amend or revoke alcohol bans. Decisions on
existing and new alcohol bans will be made by local boards after a new bylaw is
adopted. This ensures decisions meet the proposed new requirements in the
bylaw.
6. Regardless of
the final form of the bylaw and delegations, local boards have an important
role in the review of alcohol bans and the appointment of an alcohol ban review
panel is sought.
7. Details of the
proposed bylaw are outlined in the report.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Manurewa Local Board:
a) provides
formal feedback (by passing resolutions) on the proposed Auckland Council
Alcohol Control Bylaw to the hearing panel, including whether the local board
wish to meet with the hearing panel
b) appoint a local alcohol ban
review panel comprised of up to three local board members to make
recommendations on the review of the alcohol bans in the local board area
c) appoint one member as a
chairperson of the local alcohol ban review panel
d) delegate to the chairperson of
the local board the power to make a replacement appointment to the review
panel in the event that any member appointed by the local board under resolution
(b) is unavailable.

Comments
Legislative Framework
8. The Local
Government (Auckland Transitional Provisions) Act 2010 requires the review of
all seven legacy alcohol control bylaws (previously called liquor control
bylaws) and associated alcohol bans (previously called liquor bans) by 31
October 2015.
9. In
December 2012, Parliament enacted the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. This
in turn amended the Local Government Act 2002. The requirements for
making or continuing individual alcohol bans has changed significantly with the
passing of the Local Government (Alcohol Reform) Amendment Act 2012 (the Act).
10. The Act
introduced a higher threshold to be met for alcohol bans to be made or
continued. The higher threshold requires that the council is satisfied that
there is evidence to show a high level of crime or disorder is caused or made
worse by the consumption of alcohol in that public place and that the alcohol
ban is a reasonable restriction on people’s rights in light of that evidence.
11. The process for
making a bylaw under the Local Government Act 2002 requires that the council
determine if a bylaw is the most appropriate response to a problem. A bylaw
must also be in the most appropriate form and must be consistent with the New
Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. All bylaws must meet the legal requirements
as set out in the Bylaws Act 1910, including not being unreasonable, providing
rules that are proportionate to the issues being addressed and not being beyond
the powers of the enabling legislation.
Current
Auckland regulation
12. Currently, there
are seven legacy alcohol control bylaws and more than 1,600 individual alcohol
ban areas across Auckland. The legacy bylaws significantly differ in
their drafting style and presentation.
13. In general,
all legacy bylaws provide the structure used to make alcohol bans. Some legacy
bylaws enable the making of alcohol bans by resolution while others require a
change to the bylaw itself. Making alcohol bans by resolution means the level
of consultation is determined on a case by case basis and can result in more
effective and efficient decisions compared to amending the bylaw.
14. An assessment of
the appropriateness of the legacy bylaws indicate that:
· A single bylaw is necessary to enable the adoption of alcohol bans
that prohibit or regulate or control the consumption or bringing into or
possession of alcohol in public places. The New Zealand Police consider that
limiting the consumption of alcohol in public places may reduce alcohol related
harm.
· It is appropriate to delegate decisions on alcohol bans in local
public places to local boards.
15. Within an
alcohol ban area the possession and consumption of alcohol is prohibited during
the time the ban is operational. Exceptions enable alcohol to be transported
in an unopened container to and from licenced and private premises.
16. Enforcement
of the bylaw is the responsibility of the New Zealand Police. The police have
powers of search, seizure and arrest, and may issue a $250 infringement notice for
breach of an alcohol ban.

Summary of proposed
alcohol control bylaw content
20. This
section of the report summarises the key proposals contained in the proposed
bylaw.
21. The purpose of the bylaw is to control the
consumption or possession of alcohol in public places to reduce alcohol related
harm. This aligns to the section 147 (Power to make bylaws for alcohol
control purposes) of the Local Government Act 2002.
22. The bylaw
proposes that local boards be delegated decisions on making, reviewing amending
or revoking alcohol bans in local areas. This supports previous feedback
obtained by local boards requesting this delegation from the governing body.
23. Alcohol bans of
regional significance will remain the responsibility of the Regulatory and
Bylaws Committee. This is consistent with the Auckland Council Long Term Plan
where issues of a regional significance are the responsibility of a council
committee.
24. It is proposed
within the bylaw that prior to making a new alcohol ban, the council be
satisfied that the alcohol ban gives effect to the purpose of the bylaw and
comply with criteria and decision making requirements Subpart 1 of Part 6 of
the Local Governments Act 2002; and section 147B of Local Government Act 2002.
This includes that:
· There is evidence that the area to which the bylaw applies (or will
apply by virtue of the resolution) has experienced a high level of crime or
disorder that can be shown to have been caused of made worse by alcohol
consumption.
· The alcohol ban is appropriate and proportionate in light of the
evidence and can be justified as a reasonable limitation on people’s rights and
freedoms.
25. Four different times are proposed in the bylaw for consideration of
new alcohol ban areas:
· 24 hours, 7 days a week (at all times ban)
· 7pm – 7am daily (evening ban)
· 10pm – 7am daylight saving and 7pm – 7am outside daylight saving
(night time ban)
· 7pm on the day before to 7am on the day after any weekend, public
holiday or Christmas/New Year holiday period (weekend or holiday alcohol ban).
These times are a guide to improve
consistency across Auckland. This recognises that in some instances the use of
the times specified may be disproportionate to the evidence of the problem and
therefore contrary to the statutory requirement that requires alcohol bans to
be proportionate in light of the evidence. These times are generally consistent
with a number of legacy council bylaws.
26. Enforcement of alcohol bans is the responsibility of the New Zealand
Police. The penalty for breaching an alcohol ban is a $250 infringement under
the Local Government (Alcohol Ban Breaches) Regulations 2013.
Review of local alcohol bans
27. To ensure local
board decision making on the existing alcohol bans is consistent with the new
bylaw, local boards will be required to review all bans once the bylaw is
adopted. It is a statutory requirement these all be
reviewed by 31 October 2015 otherwise the bans will lapse.
28. Staff will support the local board review. The proposed alcohol ban review process is outlined
in the table below:

Consideration
Local
board views and implications
29. The review of
the legacy bylaws was discussed with local boards in the context of the
significant other changes arising from new alcohol-related legislation. In
relation to alcohol bans, local boards sought clear decision-making criteria,
some form of regional consistency in times while providing for local variation
where necessary, provision for temporary changes, and local board delegations.
Māori
impact statement
30. Throughout the initial engagement phases of the review project,
staff worked with the Community Policy and Planning team, Te Waka Angamua, policy
advisors at the Independent Maori Statutory Board (IMSB) and Hapai Te Hauora
Tapui to deliver a program for engaging with Māori
on alcohol issues.
31. As part of this, staff ran a
workshop with rangatahi (youth), organised a rangatahi engagement session as
part of the Atamira event and held a hui with mana whenua and mataa waka to
discuss both the Local Alcohol Policy Project and the Alcohol Control Bylaw
Project.
32. There is broad support from the
police iwi liaison officers, mana whenua and mataa waka in relation to
protecting children and young people from the harms associated with alcohol
consumption in public places.
Implementation
33. If adopted as
proposed local boards will be required to review all current alcohol bans after
the bylaw is adopted by 31 October 2015. This ensures that decisions on alcohol
bans meet the proposed new requirement in the bylaw and the enabling
legislation.
34. The Policies and
Bylaws Unit will assist local boards with this process. Polices and Bylaws
staff have been collating evidence from legacy council files, the Police and
community safety audits and are working closing with Integrated Bylaw Review
Implementation team to ensure practicality and ease in the implementation of
the Auckland-wide bylaw. As part of this process, the appointment of local board alcohol ban review panels is sought.

Manukau Harbour Stormwater Network Discharge Consent –
Stormwater Priorities Consultation
File No.: CP2014/17845
Purpose
1. To inform the
local board about the Manukau Harbour stormwater network discharge consent
consultation process, and request feedback on priorities and criteria for the
management of Auckland Council’s public stormwater network to mitigate its existing and potential future effects on
Auckland’s environment.
Executive
summary
2. The stormwater
unit is seeking feedback on priorities for stormwater management in the Manukau
Harbour consolidated receiving environment (CRE); the area of land draining to
the Manukau Harbour.
3. A number of
stormwater issues have been identified around the Manukau Harbour. These
include:
· effects from aging and
under-designed infrastructure and assets,
· effects from poorly managed growth,
flooding (or the risk of flooding),
· effects to urban streams,
contamination of the harbour and coastal inlets,
· effects to groundwater,
· and stormwater effects on the
operation of the wastewater network.
4. The Manukau
Harbour CRE stormwater priorities consultation process is focusing on two
specific questions:
a) from the
stormwater issues identified, what does the local board consider are the priorities
for the Manukau Harbour CRE and what must be most urgently addressed?
b) From the
stormwater unit’s responsibilities, what does the local board consider to be
the criteria that Council should use for selecting stormwater management
priorities?
5. A
workshop with local board representatives was held on 30 July 2014 to discuss
these questions in detail. Feedback from this workshop is
briefly summarised in this report.
6. Formal feedback
received from the consultation process will be summarised and assist with
setting priorities for the network discharge consent application.
7. Based on
priority issues and the selected criteria for prioritisation, a “best
practicable option” to managing stormwater discharges from the public network
will be developed for consideration as part of the network discharge consent
application.
|
Recommendations
That the Manurewa Local Board:
a) receive the
report.
b) provide
feedback to the stormwater unit by the 30 September 2014.
c) indicate
whether they would like to receive further updates on the outcomes of the
Manukau Harbour Stormwater consultation process.
|
Comments
The Auckland-wide Stormwater Network Discharge Consent
8. Auckland
Council is required under the Resource Management Act (1991) to obtain resource
consents to discharge stormwater from the region’s stormwater network into the
natural environment (a stormwater network discharge consent).
9. A high level,
broad-scale assessment approach to the stormwater network discharge consents is
being proposed through an Auckland-wide network discharge consent.
10. Within this
consent, 10 Consolidated Receiving Environments (CREs) have been identified for
the Auckland region and are the focus for consultation. Consultation on the
Waitematā Harbour CRE and Greater Tāmaki CRE has been completed.
This agenda report considers consultation on the Manukau Harbour CRE (See
Figure 1).
11. The Manukau
Harbour CRE covers an area of about 879 km2. Approximately 145 km2
or 16.5% of this total area is considered urban. The harbour itself is 4.5
times the area of the Waitematā Harbour, occupying an area of some 340 km2,
and is the second largest harbour in New Zealand. The catchment also includes
a number of different types of significant regional infrastructure, such as the
Auckland Airport, Manukau Wastewater Treatment Plant (MWTP), North Island Main
Trunk Railway line (NIMT), and state highways.
12. Auckland Council has published
three documents explaining consultation surrounding the Manukau Harbour network
discharge consent stormwater priorities, issues and criteria:
a) The Manukau Harbour CRE:
Stormwater Priorities Consultation - Information Brochure and Request for
Feedback (attached to this report)
b) Frequently Asked Questions
– including a list of detailed responses to the frequently asked questions
about this project. (attached to this report)
c) The Manukau Harbour CRE:
Stormwater Priorities Consultation Summary Report – a detailed
technical report regarding the challenges of managing the stormwater draining
throughout the Manukau Harbour CRE. This report contains details regarding key
issues within the Manukau Harbour CRE consolidated receiving environment, along
with an explanation of the potential criteria for prioritisation.
How will the stormwater
network discharge consents affect you?
13. The stormwater network consent
will set parameters around priorities for stormwater management. It will also
provide a framework to authorise where works will be undertaken to improve
stormwater management through physical projects and sub-catchment initiatives
(i.e. individual stream catchments within the greater consolidated receiving
environment).
14. The stormwater network consent
will also form one of the tools to control the type of stormwater assets to be
vested to Auckland Council from urban development. The type and scale of
various development activities, which take place around the Manukau Harbour,
will still be governed by the limitations already set in the existing plans and
proposed planning documents (e.g. the Unitary Plan).
The Consultation Process
15. In order to implement a
consultation process which facilitates quality engagement with stakeholders, a
“Manukau Harbour CRE Stormwater Consultation Plan” was developed. This plan
outlined the core issue under consideration: In managing stormwater
discharges for the Manukau Harbour CRE, what should the high-level management
priorities of the Auckland Council be?
16. The plan also identifies key
stakeholders, as well as the proposed methodology for consulting with
stakeholders. A list of external stakeholders contacted through this
consultation process is attached to this report.
17. All feedback will be fully
reviewed, consolidated and considered in the application documents. It is
envisaged that outcomes from this consultation process will inform the
development of the best practicable option for managing stormwater discharges
in the Manukau Harbour CRE.
18. A comprehensive background report
and a summary of the consultation programme, key findings, and changes made as
a result of consultation will be provided to the relevant council committees
towards the end of 2014.
19. The stormwater unit will then
formally lodge the Auckland-wide Stormwater Network Discharge consent with
Auckland Council’s regulatory department.
Local Board Workshop -
Feedback
20. A workshop with local board
members, representatives of the Manukau Harbour Forum and ward councillors to
introduce the consultation information was held 30 July 2014.
21. Feedback at the workshop
indicated a high level of concern for the current state of the health of the
streams, harbour and the aquifers within the Manukau Harbour CRE. Some members
were also concerned about the effects of stormwater and illegal
cross-connections within the wastewater network. The stormwater unit advised
that programmes are in place to identify and remedy this issue.
22. Board members expressed concern
that lack of detailed information available for the Manukau Harbour CRE
constrained their ability to accurately prioritise the issues. A benefit some
members expressed was that the consultation process could
inform Council’s priorities and assist in gaining funding for identified
issues.
23. Members
requested information on how many stormwater outlets discharge to the harbour
in the different local board areas. The assets within Manukau Harbour CREs 32
subcatchments include approximately 1,277km of stormwater drains (including
pipes, ditches and open drains), 26,042 manholes and 19, 954 catchpits, plus
additional stormwater fittings. The current asset database also includes 90
stormwater treatment ponds or wetlands and 72 other types of stormwater
treatment devices (raingardens, sandfilters, gross pollutant traps; excluding
ground soakage devices). This information can be accessed and viewed in detail
on Auckland Council’s internet maps. Please follow this procedure in
order to access and view the maps:
a) Go to http://maps.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/aucklandcouncilviewer/
b) Click on “Map Content” to right
of screen, with the folder icon
c) Click “Underground Services”
button. This will take you to a new screen showing a list of items with tick
boxes adjacent. To view the stormwater pipes and outfalls, ensure the
following items are ticked: “underground services” and “stormwater”.
d) The stormwater infrastructure
should be shown as green lines on the map, with outfall located at the end of
these lines as they reach the coast. To view this infrastructure well, the map
will need to be at large scale.
As noted in the workshop, the accuracy of this data is
limited due to the differing asset databases and information held by legacy
councils. It is currently being reviewed and updated by the stormwater unit.
24. Some local
boards requested information on planned projects and infrastructure
improvements for their area to assist with prioritisation of issues.
Questions for Consultation
25. The Manukau Harbour
CRE stormwater priorities consultation process is focusing on two specific
questions:
1) From the
stormwater issues identified, what does the local board consider are the
priorities for the Manukau Harbour CRE and what must be most urgently addressed?
2) From the
stormwater unit’s responsibilities, what does the local board consider to be
the criteria that Council should use for selecting stormwater management
priorities?
26. 1) From the identified
stormwater issues around the Manukau Harbour which are the highest priorities?

29. If this
project is considered of interest, a feedback form has been attached to this
agenda report and can be completed. Alternatively, general feedback and
comment through the meeting would be welcomed.
Consideration
Local
board views and implications
30. A cluster
workshop with local board representatives was held for 30 July 2014 to
introduce the consultation process and discuss these questions in detail. Feedback received from the consultation process will be summarised
and will help to inform the setting of priorities for the network consent application.
31. Consultation
with key identified stakeholders within the Manukau Harbour catchment area
(including internal Auckland Council staff, advisory panels, council-controlled
organisations, government departments, environmental and recreational groups,
community and business groups) is currently being undertaken via a series of
consultation workshops.
Maori
impact statement
32. Feedback is
being sought from mana whenua and iwi. Consultation workshops were held in
July 2014. Overall, the workshops
highlighted the holistic approach that iwi have with the three waters, their
interest in enhancing and improving the water quality, their concern with
contamination to stormwater; and their frustration with the legacy of
degradation of the Manukau Harbour.
Implementation
33. Three risks with
respect to implementation of feedback from local boards have been identified.
Firstly, it is noted that a wide range of stakeholders are being consulted. As
a result, it is likely that there will be differing opinions with respect to
stormwater management priorities. Secondly, there is a risk that there will be
a lack of funding to implement all identified priorities. Thirdly, since the
Auckland-wide stormwater network discharge consent application will be going through
a regulatory process under the Resource Management Act (1991), any outcomes may
be open to challenge through this process.

File No.: CP2014/19970
Purpose
1. The purpose of
the report is to respond to local board requests on transport-related matters
and to provide information to Elected Members about Auckland Transport (AT) activities
in the local board area.
Executive Summary
2. This report
covers matters of specific application and interest to the Manurewa Local Board
and its community; matters of general interest relating to AT activities or the
transport sector; and AT media releases for the information of the Board and
community.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Manurewa Local Board:
a) receives the
report entitled Auckland Transport Update – September 2014.
|
Discussion
Local Board Transport Capital Fund
(LBTCF):
3. The Manurewa
Local Board is allocated $593,314 per annum from the Local Board Transport
Capital Fund. These funds can be used annually or rolled together to use the
full three years’ of funding i.e. $1,779,942 for larger projects.
4. Over the last month the Board has been working
closely with Auckland to develop a programme of work under the Manurewa town
center revitalisation project. The Board has identified the following projects
as priority for investigation utilising the Local Board Capital Fund:
Table 1: Projects under investigation
|
Te Mahia, Manurewa and Homai Station
Upgrades
|
It was acknowledged that the decision to
retain Te Mahia is still to be made by the Auckland Transport Board. If
it is retained the Board would like to see the pedestrian access from Great
South Road widened and enhanced for safety reasons.
The Board has also asked to investigate
how it may contribute to/’top up” existing work being undertaken at these
train stations by Auckland Transport.
|
|
‘Arts & Plants’ - Pedestrian and
cycle link
|
The Manurewa Local Board is investigating
a pedestrian and cycle link to the Nathan Homestead and Auckland Botanical
Gardens.
|
|
The Great South Rd to Manurewa Rail
Station connectivity:
|
This project will incorporate a range of
practical opportunities to better link the Great South Road and the Manurewa
Train Station.
|
|
Signage:
|
The Board wishes to investigate further
signage in and around the town Centre and train station. to ensure visibility
of areas of interest such as the train station and bus interchange, to the
community and visitors to Manurewa.
|
|
Great South Road:
|
The Board is investigating a range of
options for making Great South Road, Manurewa more pedestrian friendly.

AT faced resistance
from the residents when it consulted on the previous location (outside 63
Charles Prevost Dr). AT has now selected a new location (outside 18 Charles
Prevost Dr) and commenced a new round of consultation.
Once consultation is
closed, the signs will be installed.
|
Review of train security
5. A rigorous assessment of train security has
resulted in an action plan to enhance safety across the suburban rail network.
6. The action plan, developed by Auckland Transport,
focuses on enhancing platform security and dealing with issues such as
anti-social and disorderly behavior observed on station platforms before
patrons board trains.
7. A Combined Safer Network Group, formed in May,
brings together Auckland Transport, Auckland Council, New Zealand Police and
rail operator Transdev, who will progress the action plan.
8. Auckland Transport will implement a number of
additional initiatives over coming months. In the short-term, platform guards
will be given specialised training on how to manage security issues.
9. CCTV coverage on platforms and trains will also be
increased where needed. An additional five cameras have already been purchased
for the platform security network.
10. Since the introduction of
guards on platforms in May, there has already been a decline in security issues
on both trains and platforms.
Consultation documents on proposed improvements:
11. Consultation documents for
the following proposals have been provided to the Manurewa Local Board for its
feedback. As the Board’s transport portfolio holders provide feedback on the
Board’s behalf, the material below is included for general information purposes
only.
Bus stop proposal on Hill Road, The Gardens:
12. Residents of Elmwood Lifestyle Care and Village
requested an eastbound bus stop and better crossing facilities outside the
village. The residents were involved in the design of the proposal.
13. The Board raised no
objections to this proposal.
Route 365 – New Bus Stops and Shelters:
14. Auckland Transport
consulted the Board on proposed new bus stops and shelters outside 80 and 81
Hyperion Drive, Randwick Park.
15. Auckland Transport is
proposing to install a new bus stop and shelter outside 80 Hyperion Drive. The
new bus stop will include a bus stop sign, road markings to indicate the
location of the bus stop, and new no stopping yellow lines at both ends of the
bus stop.
16. Auckland Transport is
proposing to install a new bus stop and shelter outside 81 Hyperion Drive. The
new bus stop will include a bus stop sign, road markings to indicate the location
of the bus stop, and new no stopping yellow lines at both ends of the bus stop.
17. The Board raised no
objections to this proposal.
Route 361 – New Bus Stops and Shelters:
18. Auckland Transport (AT)
has undertaken a comprehensive review of the arrangement, spacing and
facilities of the bus stops along the proposed Bus Route 361 which will make up
part of the proposed New Southern Bus Network.
19. Route 361 travels from
Manurewa to Otara via Manukau. This review covers the section of the route from
Manurewa to approximately half way along Browns Road.
20. There are currently 46 bus
stops on this section of Route 361. Additionally, Auckland Transport are
proposing to install seven new bus stops and removing five bus stops along the
route. In total we are proposing changes at 12 sites along the route.
21. The Board raised no
objections to this proposal.
Proposed Pedestrian Safety Improvements
on Weymouth Road
22. Following requests from
the public, Auckland Transport proposes the installation of a pedestrian refuge
island on Weymouth Road, at the intersection with Rowandale Avenue. This would
provide adequate crossing facilities and thus improves safety for
pedestrians.
23. The Board is supportive of
this proposal.
General Information Items:
Blood alcohol limit lowered
24. The Land Transport Amendment Bill that sought to
lower the adults legal alcohol driving limit from 400 micrograms (mcg) of
alcohol per litre of breath to 250 mcg, and from 80 milligrams (mg) of alcohol
per 100 millilitres (ml) of blood to 50 mg passed its Third Reading in
Parliament on 30 July and received Royal Assent on 7 August, becoming the Land
Transport Amendment Act (No 2) 2014.
25. The Amendment Act also creates an infringement
offence for adult drivers whose evidential breath test result is 250-400 mcg
per litre, the penalties for which are an infringement fee of $200 and 50
demerit points with no right to request a blood test and sets 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 51 to 80 mg per 100 ml of blood.
26. The changes will come into
effect on 1 December 2014.
Media Releases
Panmure station attracting new passengers
27. The new Panmure railway station has seen a 57%
increase in passenger numbers since it opened in January and a 73% increase
compared with July last year.
28. Panmure is now ranked the 10th busiest railway
station in Auckland, up from 18th in 2013. On average, some 1116 passengers
use the Panmure station every week day whereas in 2003 it was used by less than
100 a day.
29. A recent survey also shows that more than 99% of
users of the station rated it excellent or outstanding.
30. The $17.5m interchange allows easy and direct
transfers between rail and bus, benefiting those living and working in the area
as well as those travelling through Panmure as part of their daily commute.
Transfers now account for approximately 8% of all public transport boardings.
31. The interchange is part of
the Auckland Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI), where future stages
will see the creation of busway lanes along Lagoon Drive and Pakuranga Road to
a new bus station at the Pakuranga town centre.
City Rail Link (CRL) design change
32. A significant design change to the CRL will save
over $150 million, improve the reliability and journey time of train services,
minimise construction disruption in Symonds Street and reduce property purchase
requirements.
33. Auckland Transport has decided to redevelop the
existing Mt Eden Station and connect it to the CRL rather than build a new
underground station at Newton.
34. Since the City Rail Link’s concept design was
developed two years ago, there has been concerted effort to optimise the design
and drive value for money. The change that has resulted from this focus will
reduce cost by removing the very deep Newton station, which will also reduce
construction disruption in upper Symonds Street by 12 to 18 months.
35. The improved design will connect passengers at Mt
Eden Station to the CRL, which previously bypassed them, and improve operation
reliability through the provision of a grade separated east-west junction so
train lines won’t need to cross over each other.
36. The changes also will result in an improved
customer experience with the CRL platform at Mt Eden now to be built in a
trench open to the sky similar to the New Lynn station, rather than deep
underground as was the case for the proposed Newton station location. This
open air location and the separated train junction will also lower operating
costs.
37. In addition, fewer surface properties will be
required. Owners affected by the new design have been contacted directly by
Auckland Transport about the change.
38. As well as these significant community, cost and
service benefits, the development potential associated with Mt Eden Station
will not be limited by volcanic cone view shafts and heritage buildings which
constrained the Newton location. Changes in the rail track alignment will also
reduce vibration and noise effects on surrounding properties and improve travel
times.
39. Information on the design
changes and upcoming milestones for the CRL were explained to the community at
open days held in the project area in late August and early September.
New connections in Otahuhu
40. A new bus-train interchange sited at the existing
Otahuhu Train Station is on track to begin construction later this year with
completion targeted for the middle of next year. The new interchange is
expected to transform the way people travel in South Auckland and will be a
critical hub in the delivery of a new integrated public transport network in
the south.
41. Passenger comfort, safety, ease of accessibility
and convenience were areas considered during the final design. Key features
include continuous cover along bus and rail platforms, an elevated and enclosed
concourse connecting the existing rail platform with new bus platforms,
multiple pedestrian access options, escalators, lifts and stairs, WiFi, CCTV,
kiss-and-ride drop off area and bicycle parking/storage. The facility will be
built to accessible standards, including provision of limited parking for
disabled users.
42. New on-street bus stop facilities will be built on
Avenue Road replacing the existing Otahuhu bus station. New, modern bus
shelters will also be constructed on Mason Avenue to serve the new Otahuhu
Recreation Precinct with regular and frequent bus services connecting the
interchange with the new town centre bus stops.
43. The detailed design for the Otahuhu interchange can
be viewed at:
www.aucklandtransport.govt.nz/otahuhu-interchange
Second rail line going electric
44. The roll-out of electric trains in Auckland has
stepped up with the introduction of the new trains on the Manukau Line.
45. Initially electric trains will run on some off-peak
services, they will be introduced to all services over the next month.
46. The new electric trains have been very popular
since their introduction on the Onehunga Line in April but with any transition
there may be “teething problems.”
47. To ensure customers who use the trains to Manukau
are getting a reliable service, Auckland Transport will be gradually increasing
the number of electric trains over the next month.
48. Meanwhile, testing continues across the rail
network following an intermittent power fault which saw some Onehunga services
affected. There are no safety issues associated with the fault.
Design funding for new bus way
49. Auckland Transport and the NZTA jointly announced
on 18 August that funding has been approved to further develop plans for the
South Eastern Busway from Panmure Station to Pakuranga.
50. The NZTA has approved design funding of $20.9m,
with it subsidising $11m, for the Panmure to Pakuranga section of the AMETI
project. It will be the next stage after the current work in Panmure, which
comprised the new Panmure Station and a new link road between Mt Wellington
Highway and Morrin Road.
51. The Panmure to Pakuranga projects are the next
stage of the $1.3 billion AMETI programme. The long term project features a
busway from Panmure to Pakuranga and Botany, roading upgrades at bottlenecks in
Panmure and Pakuranga, and new cycling and walking infrastructure.
52. The Panmure to Pakuranga projects include:
· replacing
Panmure roundabout with an intersection with traffic lights and more direct
pedestrian crossings
· Panmure to
Pakuranga busway on lanes separate to traffic congestion
· Panmure to
Pakuranga shared cycle/foot path separate to traffic
· direct connection
from Pakuranga Rd to Pakuranga Highway via Reeves Rd
· Pakuranga
bus station
· second
Panmure Bridge for busway and shared path.
53. Auckland Transport will continue to consult with
residents, businesses and the community in the project area prior to applying
for a land designation in the second quarter of 2015. This will be followed by
a publicly notified hearing.
54. Auckland Transport aims to begin construction in
2017, subject to approval of construction funding and consents.

Deferral of 2014/2015 capital projects
File No.: CP2014/19741
Purpose
1. To seek agreement from the
Manurewa Local Board to the list of capital projects outlined in Attachment A
that are proposed for deferral from 2014/2015, prior to consideration by the
Finance and Performance Committee on 18 September 2014.
Executive
summary
2. Prior to decisions being made by
the Finance and Performance Committee regarding a 2014/2015 capex deferral
programme, engagement was held with all local boards.
3. Between 12 and 19 August 2014,
staff attended 21 local board workshops to outline the capex deferral process
and obtain feedback on proposed deferrals affecting each local board area.
4. On 21 August 2014, the Finance
and Performance Committee resolved that decisions on the deferral of local board
capital projects from 2014/2015 to 2015/2016 be deferred until local boards
have formally considered and responded to each project in full (FIN/2014/47).
5. The list of capex projects
proposed for deferral is outlined in Attachment A.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Manurewa Local Board:
a) formally
consider and agree the deferral of capex projects outlined in Attachment A to
2015/2016.
b) note that any projects where
timing has been deferred, but project planning is underway, should be given
high priority in the 2015/2016 capital programme.
|
Comments
Background
6. As foreshadowed in the 2014/2015 Annual Plan and LTP workshops,
operating budgets for 2015/2016 (the first year of the LTP 2015-2025) would
need to be reduced by about $90 million to achieve a 2.5 per cent average rates
increase.
7. It is not possible to reduce the average rates increase for 2015/2016
down to 2.5 per cent solely by reducing or deferring capex in that particular
year. The lagged impact of changes in the capital programme on operating
budgets means that reducing or deferring capex in 2014/2015 will have a greater
impact on rates for 2015/2016.
8. Since amalgamation the quantum
of planned projects each year has exceeded the council parent’s capacity to
deliver. While delivery capacity is now increasing, a significant bow wave has
built up. This historical underspend is acknowledged in the Annual Plan and
factored into council’s rates and debt projections by way of a $207 million
assumed underspend. However, the individual projects that will not be delivered
are not explicitly identified in the Annual Plan as they had not yet been
identified.
9. Council staff have reviewed
2014/2015 capex budgets to identify work that must be completed this year as a
matter of practical necessity, or where not doing the project in this timeframe
would negatively impact existing service levels, external revenue or the
realisation of efficiency savings.
10. The specific categories used to
develop the list of deferred projects and process undertaken is explained
further in Attachment B which was circulated to Local Boards prior to the
proposed capex projects for deferral being discussed at a recent workshop.
11. In order to
develop a realistic capex programme for 2014/2015 and contain pressure on rates
in 2015/2016, staff recommend that the capex projects included in Attachment A
for the council parent be explicitly deferred from 2014/2015 to 2015/2016, and
be included as part of the LTP prioritisation process.
12. Between 12 and 19 August, staff
attended workshops for all 21 local boards to obtain feedback on the proposed
capital deferral schedules for 2014/2015. This engagement provided opportunity
for local boards to ask questions, reinforce the reason for deferring capital
funds and provide feedback on the status of projects in alignment to criteria
used to assess proposed deferrals.
13. Of the total
proposed projects for deferral tabled at the Finance and Performance Committee
on 21 August 2014, regional projects amounted to $80 million, local projects
amounted to $35 million and CCO’s collectively deferred $109m.
14. Staff reduced
the total of local projects for deferral by approximately $7 million due to
responding to the information provided through the recent workshops held with
local boards. These reductions were due to corrections in applying the criteria
used for identifying potential deferrals. Attachment A takes into account these
reductions.
15. Local boards
also identified projects that are discretionary and could be deferred, but
which are very important to their local community. Rather than making decisions
about removing any high-priority discretionary projects from the deferral list,
staff included these comments in the schedule provided to the Finance and
Performance Committee.
16. The decisions
being made are budget adjustments that represent timing changes only. Any
decisions to drop or reprioritise projects should be made as part of the LTP
process.
17. Through September and October
Local Boards, the Governing Body, CCOs and council staff will all contribute to
the development of draft LTP 2015-2025 budgets in response to the Mayoral
Proposal. Decisions on discretionary local budgets will be made by Local Boards
in October and decisions on regional activities and local asset based services
will be made by the Budget Committee on 5-7 November.
18. Local Board Plans, along with the
Auckland Plan and the agreed spatial priorities will help inform this
prioritisation. Final decisions on which projects are included in the LTP
2015-2025 will be made by 30 June 2015, following full public consultation.

Auckland Council Property Limited Local Board
Six-Monthly Update 1 January to 30 June 2014
File No.: CP2014/19612
Purpose
1. To give the Manurewa Local Board
an overview Auckland Council Property Limited’s (ACPL) activities for the six
months 1 January to 30 June 2014.
Executive
summary
2. ACPL’s vision is to be a ‘centre
of excellence’ that provides commercial expertise and value for money to the
council in managing its property portfolio, acquisition and disposal
activities, and the delivery of projects that implement council development
initiatives.
3. This report
sets out a summary of ACPL activities for the past six-months that contribute
to our seven key outcomes as outlined in our Statement of Intent 2014 to 2017
and noted below. Activity detail is broken down by business unit or
work-stream, with a focus on local board specific activities where applicable.
4. ACPL’s seven
key outcomes:
§ Properties managed for the council and
Auckland Transport (AT) are maintained to be fit for purpose and achieve
optimum net returns.
§ Place-shaping projects involving other
sector partners are efficiently planned and managed to help achieve a quality
compact Auckland.
§ ACPL contributes exemplar housing
developments to increase the supply of housing in Auckland, particularly in the
more affordable spectrum of the market, working with partners.
§ Council business interests are managed
to protect long term value and achieve budgeted net income.
§ Property acquisitions are undertaken in
a commercially robust manner and in accordance with the council and AT agreed
requirements and relevant legislation.
§ Properties are disposed of for the
council in a commercially robust manner once declared surplus.
§ The council is provided with a
commercial perspective on planning and development initiatives to support
effective implementation of those initiatives.
5. Local board specific supporting
detail is included in Attachments A, B, and C.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Manurewa Local Board:
a) accept the Auckland Council
Property Limited Local Board six-monthly update 1 January to 30 June
2014.
|
Comments
Workshops and Meetings
6. A schedule of Manurewa Local
Board workshops and meetings attended by ACPL representatives from January to
June 2014 is included as Attachment A. The list includes property
specific meetings and workshops relating to general property management and the
ongoing portfolio Rationalisation Process.
Property Portfolio Management
7. ACPL manages
all Auckland Council or AT owned non-service properties. These are properties
that are not immediately required for service delivery or infrastructure
development.
8. The property
portfolio continued to grow during the last six-months and now totals 1185
properties, an increase of 90 since our February 2014 update. The current
property portfolio includes industrial sites and buildings, retail tenancies,
cafés, restaurants, offices and a substantial portfolio of residential
properties.
9. ACPL’s
specialist property knowledge and understanding enables us to optimise revenue
streams and identify future opportunities. ACPL’s return on the property
portfolio for the quarter ending 30 June 2014 provides the shareholder a net
surplus of $1.9 ahead of budget, with an actual surplus of $25.4m against
budget of $23.5m. During the quarter the average monthly collectable arrears
rate and vacancies rate were respectively 2.1% and 2.4%. Well under the SOI
targets of 5% and 3%.
10. A Properties
Managed schedule is included as Attachment B of this report. The
schedule details:
§ Current ACPL managed commercial and
residential property within the Manurewa Local Board
§ Each property’s classification or reason
for retention
§ The nature of the property, such as a
café within a library, or a residential property with a tenancy in place
§ The budget under which operating
expenditure and lease revenue for the property is reported, e.g. regional or
local board.
11. A report
indicating portfolio movement in the local board area is attached as Attachment
C. The report details all new acquisitions including the reason for
acquisition, any transfers and the reason for transfer, and any disposals.
Portfolio Review and Rationalisation
Overview
12. ACPL is
required to undertake ongoing rationalisation of the council’s non-service
assets. This includes identifying properties from within council’s portfolio
that may be suitable for potential sale and development if appropriate. ACPL
has a particular focus on achieving housing outcomes. Identifying potential
sale properties contributes to Auckland Plan outcomes by providing the council
with an efficient use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its
activities and projects.

Place Shaping and Housing Initiatives
Overview
18. ACPL is
contributing commercial input into around 48 council-driven place-shaping and
housing initiatives region wide. Involvement extends from provision of initial
feasibility advice through to implementation, with projects ranging in size
from $400k to in excess of $100million. ACPL works closely with the local
boards on ACPL lead developments to ensure we give effect to the local boards’
place-shaping role.
19. ACPL is also
actively contributing to the Housing Action Plan Group, which is a council
initiative focusing on non-regulatory efforts to encourage and increase
affordable residential development. We have an SOI target to undertake five
housing development projects with an affordable housing component over three
years which would encompass CHO involvement. We are currently actively working
on 13 such projects.
Local Activities
20. A high level
update on place-shaping and housing initiative and proposal activities in the
Manurewa area is outlined in points below.
21. 20
Barrowcliffe Place, Manukau: This approximately 5 ha site on the southern
side of the South Western Motorway has been identified for possible housing
development. On 28 August 2013 the council's Portfolio Review Steering Group
agreed to transfer the 5Ha potential development site from service to
non-service. The property is now progresssing through the Rationalisation
Process for clearance prior to engaging with potential developers through an
Expression of Interest and Request for Proposal process. The site has also
been identified for potential delivery of a place management housing study.
ACPL met with the Manurewa Local Board in July to discuss the place management
housing study and presented several potential development plans for the site.
The board’s official views were sought at their 14 August business meeting with
resulting resolution copied below.
That the Manurewa Local
Board:
a) endorse Auckland Council Property
Ltd’s (ACPL’s) recommendation to the Finance and Performance Committee to
dispose of 20 Barrowcliffe Place, Manukau on the basis that:
i) the board will be fully informed
on the outcomes of the Place Management Study
ii) an assessment of both road noise
and traffic related air pollution will be carried out
iii) any negative effects, as defined
by the World Health Organisation, of both road noise and traffic related air
pollution will be mitigated through master planning and the design of the
residences.
iv) the design guidelines be upheld,
including levels of intensification, impact of entry and egress, and the
impacts on related infrastructure
v) the reserve and development
contributions be used to fund infrastructure development, ie: parks
vi) the development ensure optimum
water quality / stormwater discharge into the Manukau Harbour.
22. The site is
scheduled for presentation to the Governing Body in September 2014 as
recommended for sale and development.
23. Property
Optimisation: An increasing focus for ACPL is property optimisation. In
this we are keen to work with local boards on development opportunities that
facilitate upgrades within the service portfolio. For example a community
facility upgrade may be funded by incorporating the facility into a mixed-use
development that makes better use of the overall site. We welcome the
opportunity to review any such opportunities that may be identified by the
Manurewa Local Board.
Acquisitions
Overview
24. ACPL continues
to support Council and Auckland Transport programmes and projects by
negotiating required property acquisitions. All such acquisitions are funded
through approved Council or Auckland Transport budgets. We also provide advice
to assist with budgets, business cases and strategy to support an acquisition.
25. By the end of
the financial year 2013 to 2014 two hundred and seven property purchases were
completed for the council and AT to the value of $132.4m. All of the property
acquisitions met independent valuation thresholds agreed with AT, the council
and Public Works Act 1981 requirements.
Council Acquisitions
26. Over the past
six months 14 properties were acquired to meet council open space and storm
water requirements and to contribute to City Transformation projects. These
included the following acquisitions in or neighbouring the Manurewa Local Board
area.

acquisitions to support major transport projects such as AMETI (30
acquisitions) Dominion Road (7 acquisitions) Te Atatu Road (9 acquisitions) and
City Rail Link (16 acquisitions). Full details of relevant AT projects and
associated acquisitions will come to the local board directly from AT.
Business Interests
28. ACPL manages
eight business interests region wide on council’s behalf. This comprises two
forestry enterprises, two landfills and four quarries. There are currently no
ACPL managed business interests in the Manurewa Local Board area.
Consideration
Local Board Views and Implications
29. This report
is for the Manurewa Local Board’s information.
Maori Impact Statement
30. The importance of effective communication and engagement with Maori
on the subject of land is understood. ACPL has accordingly developed robust
engagement with the 19 listed Tamaki region mana whenua groups for our core business
activities.
31. Key engagement activities include: identifying cultural
significance concerns regarding disposal properties, flagging commercial
interests, development partnering discussions and issues relating to property
management such as protection of waahi tapu or joint management relating to
Treaty Settlements. ACPL also engages with relevant mana whenua in respect of
development outcomes for ACPL lead projects where appropriate. ACPL will advise
the Manurewa Local Board as appropriate of any discussions that arise in the
local board’s area.
32. ACPL has
additionally undertaken to be part of council’s Maori Responsiveness Plan (MRP)
pilot programme. The project’s key output is an operational document outlining
ACPL’s contribution to council’s strategic and operational commitments to
Maori. The Improvement Planning Phase of this project is nearly complete. We
anticipate finalising our MRP in September/October 2014.
Implementation
33. There are no implementation
issues.

Comments
6. The
Local Government Act 2002 and Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009
require Council to use the special consultative procedure in adopting the
Manurewa Local Board Plan 2014. This includes ensuring any person submitting on
the Draft Manurewa Local Board Plan 2014 is given reasonable opportunity to be
heard. The consultation period for the Draft Manurewa Local Board Plan 2014 was
held from 7 July 2014 to 5pm, 6 August 2014.
7. In total, 106 submissions were
received on the Draft Manurewa Local Board Plan, including 33 pro forma plus
four other Smokefree submissions (37 in total) and one late submission.
Seventeen submitters were heard at the hearings held on 2 September 2014.
8. In general, submitters supported
the key priorities and initiatives included in the Draft Manurewa Local Board
Plan. Just under a quarter of all submitters ranked Making Improvements to the
Manurewa Town Centre as the most important priority. Moving Easily Around
Manurewa and Spaces and Places that People Enjoy were clearly the second and
third ranked priorities.
9. While the remaining three priorities
(All People are Valued and Encouraged, Our Natural Heritage and Resources are
Preserved and Nurtured, and A Healthy Local Economy) were not as well
supported, there was no strong disagreement expressed about them either. A
report summarising the feedback from all submissions is attached (Attachment
A).
10. There was strong support for
action to improve community health and well-being. Thirty-seven submissions
advocating for a smoke free Manurewa were received, including 33 pro forma
submissions. Sinking lid policies for gambling and alcohol outlets, and
restrictions on the sale of psychoactive substances were also supported. These
are priorities for local board advocacy and action. The board proposes
including more explicit reference to this in the final Local Board Plan.
11. Many submitters offered ideas and
suggestions which the board would more appropriately include as part of
Auckland Council’s Long Term Plan (LTP) and Annual Plan processes. They ranged
from funding of specific events to installation of cycle racks and repairs to
footpaths. These will be collated for future consideration. A few submissions
fell outside the influence of the local board.
12. Following the hearings on 2
September, the local board held a workshop to discuss all submissions. During
those discussions, the following changes were proposed in addition to a
stronger reference to health and well-being.
i) On page 11, include a statement
about seeking input from Māori on policy and
strategy development
ii) On page 24, include a reference
to working with our Pacific and other communities and how that might happen
iii) Include a reference to
strengthening the working relationships with other local boards, particularly
in the south of the region, on such things as the Manukau Harbour Forum
Consideration
Local
board views and implications
13. The Manurewa Local Board
considered all submissions made on the Draft Local Board Plan at a workshop
following the hearings on 2 September 2014. This paper seeks the local board’s
decisions on changes to be made as a result of those submissions. Final changes
to the Manurewa Draft Local Board Plan will be approved at the board’s business
meeting on 9 October 2014
Māori
impact statement
14. The Manurewa Local Board has
given consideration to Māori outcomes throughout
the development of the Manurewa Local Board Plan; consequently the
implementation of the plan has the potential for positive outcomes for Māori.
15. Local
mana whenua were invited to a southern sub-regional Hui on 8 March 2014 where their
views were sought on the issues to be addressed in southern local boards’
plans, including Manurewa’s. The processes and protocols for on-going
engagement were also discussed and follow up contact made by the local board
chairs.
16. The
Manurewa Local Board also engaged with Māori ratepayers and residents
through engagement activities that were accessible to the general public as
well as targeted stakeholder events and meetings, both in the early stages of
the plan’s development and throughout the consultation period.
17. The outcomes, objectives and initiatives included in the plan will
support the delivery of the Auckland Plan Transformational shift 6 –
“significantly lift Māori social and economic wellbeing”. The draft
Manurewa Local Board Plan declares an intention to work with Māori on
matters of shared interest. The plan describes some initiatives of particular
relevance to mana whenua and mataawaka, including
protection and enhancement of the Manukau Harbour; improvement of water quality in catchment streams; and the identification and protection of wahi
tapu and heritage sites in and around Manurewa.
Implementation
18. Final changes to the Manurewa
Local Board Plan will be approved at the board’s business meeting on 9 October
2014.

Proposed Trading and Events in Public Places Bylaws
File No.: CP2014/20282
Purpose
1. To provide the opportunity for
the Manurewa Local Board to formally endorse its Submission to the Proposed
Trading and Events in Public Places Bylaws Consultation.
Executive
summary
2. Auckland
Council is seeking public feedback on draft bylaws to manage trading and events
in public places. Manurewa Local Board has given feedback during the
development of these policies. The Board supports proper management of the wide
range of activities as covered by these bylaws. The Board sees a great
contribution to the public life of the community from properly run events and
trading in public places. The Board advocates for any charges to be set at
moderate levels so as not to deter potential applicants and for there to be
exemptions for community groups from any charges.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Manurewa Local Board:
a) endorses its Submission to the
Proposed Trading and Events in Public Places Bylaws Consultation.
|
Comments
3. Trading and events in public
places contribute to the life and vibrancy of communities in Manurewa. Council
has a role in overseeing and managing any adverse impacts.
4. Trading and events in public
places includes diverse activities:
· markets and
stalls
· mobile shops
· outdoor dining
· fundraising
· offering
commercial services
· distribution of
promotional material and/or goods
· outdoor display
of goods
· street
performances
· pavement artists
· filming
· events
5. The Board views trading and
events in public places as important activities and supports Council’s well
balanced management of these activities.
6. Council manages and assists
trading and events in public places in many ways. Having clear, simple and fair
bylaws that operators and the community understand is an important part of this
management. Education and monitoring both help ensure trading and events in
public places are beneficial for all concerned.
7. Manurewa Local Board has
received and reviewed presentations on this subject from staff at its meetings
in November 2011, September 2012 and March 2013.
8. The Board gave feedback that it
considered the approach being identified as a useful way of bringing together
the different arrangements which had applied in the previous council areas and
addressing any further issues.
9. The Board provided further
feedback on the Trading and Events in Public Places Bylaw:
· People
don’t want to be approached for money all the time.
· There
should be exemptions for Community groups and community events
· Any
event or gathering in a public place that a Local Board organises should be
exempt from fees that would otherwise apply.
· Fees
and permits – supported a graduated scale – tiered approach
· Did
not support a blanket fee across the region
· Supported
different activities having a different fee depending where they are in the
region and who is organising the event
· People
need to be able to move freely past outdoor dining and drinking areas.
· Regarding
Temporary stalls there needs to be a proximity rule limiting the number of
stalls at one location. There should be an exemption for charges for community
groups fundraising.
· Community
groups should be exempt from fees which would apply to the distribution of
printed material or goods for promotional purposes.
· Regarding
Busking/ street performance, business associations should have an opportunity
to decide on street performers. Allocate a space and limit timeframes
· There
should be an exemption for community groups from requirements to have
permission or a permit for trading or event activities.
10. The Board is pleased to see its
earlier feedback has been integrated into the draft which has now been prepared
for consultation.
11. The Board notes that the level of
any fees to be charged is outside of the scope of this Bylaw, however the Board
recommends that fees remain moderate enough so as not to dissuade people and
businesses applying for permits to conduct appropriate street and public place
trading and events and filming.
12. Manurewa Business Association has
been supported in making its own Submission to the Proposed Trading and Events
in Public Places Bylaw consultation.

Who to Action
|
|
1. Capex Review – Deferral of Capital Projects
Christine Watson (Manager Financial Advisory Services – Local Board)
and Vincent Perry (Team Leader Projects South)
explained that the governing body had requested a review of the 2014/2015
capital expendixture (capex) programme to help alleviate 2015/2016 budget
pressure from the lagged effect of the capex (ie: interest, depreciation and
other consequential operational expenditure (opex)).
Christine advised that the
Finance and Performance Committee will meet on 21 August to make decisions.
At this stage of the capex
review, it is only proposed to defer some projects from 2014/2015
until later. More projects are proposed to proceed than be deferred. There
will be no decisions to stop any projects until after consultation on
the Long-term Plan.
Christine advised that there
were no targets or cuts. This has been a desk top review at this point.
Local board knowledge was needed regarding the proposed projects.
The capital review programme
2014/2015 Information Pack and the proposed projects for deferral from
2014/2015 were tabled.
The board provided the
following feedback:
- The
board has been through the work programmes with the various departments and
believe the capital projects can be delivered within the financial year.
- The
board believes the work programmes are deliverable especially when the
special housing areas are put in the mix.
- Netball Manurewa complex
- The project will go to tender
in September 2014.
- This funding needs to remain in
the budget. The project will be delivered in the 2014/2015 financial year.
- It is not possible to split the
project into two lump sums. It is more cost effective to do it in one lot.
- The courts need to be
rubberised in the 2015/2016 financial year.
- This
project has had third party funding. To defer the project will jeopardise
the third party funding.
- Premier park development –
Totara Park master plan
- This work started a year and
half ago.
- Want
to deliver the second stage of the master plan.
- Riverton Park Reserve
- This project attracts third
party funding.
- The
project has been committed and a contract is underway.
- Streetscape development
- One of the Manurewa Local Board
Plan’s priorities is the revitalisation of the town centre.
- Streetscaping is part of that
budget.
- The
allocated budget is important to leverage other funding.
- CCTV
cameras – this is the replacement programme for the CCTV cameras in
around the town centre.
- Community
facility renewals – more information required.
- Local
board generated community safety initiatives – more information required.
- Members
expressed concern that projects are constantly being deferred.
- Members
felt Watercare should have also been part of the capex review.
Christine signalled that when
the board look at the Long-term Plan projects they need to be very sure the
projects can be delivered in the financial year they said they would be.
Actions:
i) Christine to ascertain
the detail for Riverton and Netball Manurewa.
ii) Christine undertook to
get more information on the community facility renewals and the local board
generated community safety initiatives.
iii) Board
members to send through any questions to Lee, Karen or Madelon.

couldn't see how these measures were relevant to ensuring the community could

you are doing is capturing the people that use the service. How do people
find a book in the language that they speak.

The board were
not happy with the economic development measure relevant to the level of
service.
A measure is required on how the local economy is doing?
There needs to be a measure that encomapsses the local economic development
strategy and a thriving local economic community.
The board feel more support is required from the organisation for the local
BIDs to be supported.

The board weren't sure how the information relating to colunteer hours would
be collected. The board felt one of the better measures would be how many
community or local planting events have there been in the board area.

1. Local
Approved Products Policy (LAPP)
Callum
Thorpe gave an overview of the Local
Approved Products Policy (LAPP).
Psychoactive Substances Act in
place now legal to test and manufacture ‘approved products’ under given
controls which include;
· Strict testing and
manufacturing regimes
· Regulations for retail
outlets (due June 2015)
· Proximity to sensitive
sites
· LAPP
controls
The
Act only permits one LAPP for Auckland. There is possibility of a legal
challenge if it is considered too restrictive and operating outside of the
parameters of the Act.
In
developing the LAPP, Manurewa has had input and tonight is to present next
iteration and obtain further feedback.
There
will be independent review of the LAPP which will report before licenses are
due for renewal in three years’ time.
Policy
making needs to balance the risk of making it too hard to get Psychoactive
Substances that it stimulates an illegal market
The
board discussed the following questions and gave feedback:
i) Concern about LAPP not excluding areas around early childhood
centres, when the legislation provides the opportunity for
these to be treated as sensitive sites.
ii) Clarification about what kind of substances will be sold legally
iii) Clarification who the act seeks to protect and who will monitor
effectiveness of the policy
iv) Concern that these products will be available for purchase through
online retailers.
v) The community doesn’t want legal highs in the Manurewa town
centre – the board would like total exclusion of Manurewa
Town Centre from the areas where retail outlets are permissible. Amendment
to draft policy requested.
vi) The board seeks the exclusion of a further area behind Roscommon
Road (corner of Roscommon Road and Browns Road). This area has small scale
residential mixed with retail. Includes Countdown. Adjacent an area recorded
as high deprivation. Amendment to draft policy requested.
vii) Concern about legal highs not registering in testing regimes,
resulting in shift from cannabis use to artificial highs
viii) Question regarding churches – did staff consult with them? Yes
some consultation with churches.
ix) It would be preferable to be able to restrict use around churches
that provide social services e.g. a soup kitchen. Callum advised that places
of worship can be considered as sensitive sites under the legislation however
the draft LAPP does not include buffer zones around churches. There are so
many churches around Auckland and it was felt the policy already has the
balance required without excluding further possible sites around places of
worship.
x) ‘Low risk’ needs to be defined/applied as long term low risk
xi) Reconfirmed that dairies, services stations etc are precluded from
any such retail by the legislation Callum confirmed
xii) Question about enforcement of the sale of illegal drugs
Callum identified that illegal
sale of Psychoactive Substances carries penalties of up to three months
imprisonment for selling and 2 years for manufacture or importation. Police
will enforce this.
xiii) Ministry
of Health will monitor and regulate the sales permitted by the law.
xiv) Query about different discretionary conditions on the licenses
e.g. health safety information, first aid staff on site etc. Yes Ministry of
Health staff are considering discretionary conditions to cover this and CCTV
footage. etc
xv) What happens when deprivation index changes? Reassessed after each
census. How small is the census area unit? Refer to map.
xvi) What is cost of a license application? $12,000.
xvii) Question whether license fee gets returned to the community. Law
only permits license fees to be set to cover costs of regulating, not costs
of remediating harm.
xviii) How many shops are likely to be in Manurewa Local board area?
xix) Are there provisions to appeal licenses?
xx) Can displays in the shop frontages be controlled (when licenses
are granted) Yes. Limits exist including not displaying the products in a way
visible from outside the shop.
xxi) Can they sell drug paraphernalia? Yes
xxii) Seek clarification about the difference between residential areas
and residential premises, in terms of the intent of the Psychoactive
Substances Act 2013
xxiii) The board seeks clarification about an area on the
Manurewa/Papakura local board boundary that does not appear to be covered by
a high deprivation index. Staff to check this.

Yes the LAPP provides for shops not to be closer to each other than 500
metres?
xxv) Staff to report to September
