File No.: CP2014/25914

Purpose

1. The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Howick Local Board, for one new road name for the new road created by way of subdivision at 188 Murphys Road, Flat Bush.

Executive summary

2. The legacy Manukau City Council had an existing road naming policy which set out the requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria are applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming in the Manukau area, until a policy is developed for the Auckland Council.

3. The road names ‘Laquinta Place’, ‘Bambi Place, ‘Bushside Place’ and ‘Farmside Way’ were assessed and determined to meet the road naming policy criteria.

4. The Applicant initiated consultation with Ngai Tai ki Tamaki as mana whenua of the area. No formal responses have been provided to the Applicant.

5. The name ‘Laquinta Place’ proposed by the Applicant is recommended for approval to the Local Board.

Recommendation/s

a) That the Howick Local Board, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, considers for approval of the road name ‘Laquinta Place’, proposed by the Applicant, for the new road created by way of subdivision at 188 Murphys Road, Flat Bush, noting that the name meets the relevant road naming criteria.

File No.: CP2014/26384

Purpose

1. The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Howick Local Board, for two new road names for two roads created by way of subdivision at 263 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush.

Executive summary

3. Following assessment against the road naming criteria, the road names ‘Collier Drive’, ‘Zanta Drive’, ‘Calcite Avenue’, Moonstone Avenue’ and ‘Sunstone Avenue’ were determined to meet the road naming policy criteria.

4. Ngai Tai Ki Tamaki was consulted and did not oppose the suggestions and did not indicate a preference or supply suggestions.

5. The names ‘Collier Drive and ‘Calcite Avenue’, preferred by the Applicant, are recommended for approval to the Local Board.

Recommendation/s

That the Howick Local Board, pursuant to section 319(1) (j) of the Local Government Act 1974, considers for approval of the road names ‘Collier Drive’ and ‘Calcite Avenue’, proposed by the Applicant, for the new roads created by way of subdivision at 263 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush, noting that the names Zanta Drive’, ‘Calcite Avenue’, Moonstone Avenue’ and ‘Sunstone Avenue’ also meet the relevant road naming criteria.

Comments

Background

Applicant: Mountain City Developments Ltd.

Site Address: 263 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush

Council’s Reference: Resource Consent No. 42511 SP11086

7. The residential subdivision will be serviced by new roads that come off Ormiston Road and Kerrykeel Drive, Flat Bush. The development will require the creation of two new roads to be vested in Council. In this case, road name approval is being sought for the two new roads within the subdivision (Roads 1 and 5/6).

8. The Applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for the new roads created as part of the development at 263 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush.

Road Number

Proposed New Road Name

Road 1

COLLIER DRIVE (preferred name)

CITRINE DRIVE (first alternative name)

ZANTA DRIVE (alternative name)

Road 5/6

CALCITE AVENUE (preferred name)

MOONSTONE AVENUE (first alternative name)

SUNSTONE AVENUE (alternative name)

Figure 1 - Location of Roads 1 and 5/6 for the subdivision at 263 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush

9. The developer has proposed a mineral theme as being appropriate for this development. The proposed road names: ‘Calcite Drive’, ‘Citrine Drive’, ‘Moonstone Avenue’, and ‘Sunstone Avenue’ are the names of various minerals that are commonly mined. ‘Collier Road’ is named after the developer’s family name, however, it also serves to maintain the mineral theme with ‘Collier’ being a bulk cargo ship designed to carry coal. ‘Zanta Avenue’ has no specific meaning and does not fit within the mining theme however; is phonetically easy on the tongue for all demographics of people.

10. The proposed suffix of ‘Drive’ for Road 1 is considered appropriate as the new road will connect Ormiston Road to Kerrykeel Drive. The proposed suffix of ‘Avenue’ for Road 5/6 is considered appropriate as the street will be planted either side with trees.

Decision Making

Assessment

12. The Applicant’s proposed road names have been assessed against the following criteria set out in the legacy Manukau City Council road naming policy;

Comments

10. Four applications for the facility partnership fund in the Howick Local Board area are being considered in this report. Details of the community group applications follow:

i) Auckland Rowing Association in partnership with Auckland Region Outrigger Canoe Association and Canoe Racing New Zealand.

The applicant requests $150,000 towards the development of a Regional Watersports Centre on the Tamaki River at Highbrook, East Tamaki.

Relevant background to the project:

· This is a regional project and all local boards have been approached excluding Papakura and Rodney because they do not have access to the facility partnership fund. To date the Central Facility Partnership Funding Committee has committed $400,000 to this project. This committee is made of Maungakiekie Tamaki; Orakei; Puketapapa; Albert Eden; Waitemata; Great Barrier and Waiheke local boards.

· Additionally the other southern local boards have committed grants amounting to $145,000 contingent upon Howick Local Board support.

· The facility will have a high profile due to its location within the Highbrook Business Park.

· In terms of the Highbrook Park Trust Deed the Highbrook Reserve land will be vested to Auckland Council’s Parks in August 2015.

· Highbrook Park Trust land falls within the boundaries of both Howick and Otara Papatoetoe Local Boards. The facility to which this application relates falls within the Howick Local Board.

· The Auckland Rowing Association is aware that Nga Hau Maiangi, the organisation representing the combined interests of Auckland Rowing Club (not to be confused with the Association) and the four Waka Ama Clubs based at Ian Shaw Park are in the process of upgrading their water access and improving storage at Ian Shaw Park, Mt Wellington.

· This work is intended to relieve localised capacity issues at Ian Shaw Park, both of which will complement each other by creating a 2,000 meter course which will serve both facilities.

· A comprehensive resource consent application for the proposed new water sports centre has recently begun pre-lodgment processes with Auckland Council.

Registered organisation/s, make up of groups, membership numbers:

· Auckland Rowing Association was incorporated on 13 December 1968.

· Auckland Rowing Association membership for the 2013/2014 season is 1,190.

· Auckland Region Outrigger Canoe Association membership for the 2013/2014 season is 1,091.

· Canoe Racing New Zealand membership nationally is approximately 800 with 400 coming from the Auckland region.

Group capability:

· This appears to be a well organised and professional organisation.

Detail description:

· Concept design and resource consent funding secured; Stage 1 Site Works, retaining hardstands and boat ramp. A concept design has been completed and funding to undertake the resource consent secured (the total cost of this stage is approximately $1,939,000).

· Stage 2 Water Access, pontoons and Stage 3 building works is not included in the total cost of this project. The approximate cost for Stages 2 and 3 is $4,475m.

· Auckland Council has been working in partnership with this organisation since 2013 to progress this project.

Project need:

· The Auckland Regional Physical Activity and Sports Strategy (ARPASS) report on the Tamaki River and the Auckland Regional Paddling and Rowing Facilities Studies (2007 and 2008) supports the potential to develop a regional watersports centre on Digby Point, Highbrook.

Project outcomes/benefits:

· The Auckland Rowing Association represents the interests of the sport of rowing in the Auckland Region. It is the aim of the Association to increase participation in rowing and to improve the performance and experience of those participants.

· The intention of the project is to open up water access to the Tamaki River to the south and eastern parts of the city which will lead to increased participation and promote youth activity i.e. St Kentigern College rowing have indicated that they would use the facility.

· Stage 1 provides water access which benefits the wider communities of the southern region and is not specific to Auckland Association members.

· The envisaged facility will be a premier venue in Howick providing a straight 2,000 meter course for competitive rowing.

· The benefits of the completed Stage 1 project will give immediate community benefits through better accessibility to the boat ramp and Tamaki River.

Strategic alignment:

· The project is in accordance with the ARPASS report which identified the regional need for the proposed facility.

· The project provides an ideal environment for a wide range of water sports and retaining access to our waterways. (Auckland Plan, Chapter 5, 336 refers)

· Develop training hubs that co-locate high performance training centres with community sports venues. (Sport and Recreation Strategic Action Plan 9.3 refers)

Operational sustainability:

· Goodman New Zealand and the Highbrook Park Trust are partners to this project who are both well established and respected organisations with recognized successes.

· Auckland Rowing Association is a long standing regional sporting association since 1968.

· A comprehensive resource consent application to Auckland Council is imminent with funding support from Goodman New Zealand for the proposed new water sports centre.

Any risks:

· As this is a regional facility all local boards are being approached for funding assistance except Papakura and Rodney which do not have facility partnership funding.

· A risk could be the lack of support from other local boards.

· The failure to raise additional support from other philanthropic organisations.

· Failure to receive resource consent. This can be mitigated by making this grant subject to obtaining resource consent.

The applicant is aware that a successful grant does not constitute any regulatory approval, or land owner approval which will be required in the future.

Project budget/financials:

Total Project Cost – Stage 1	$1,939m
Confirmed funding - Auckland Council Central Facilities Partnership Fund 2013/14 - Pub Charity	$400,000 $141,950
Organisation contribution	$330,000
Amount requested	$150,000

Recommendation:

To approve $150,000 contribution towards the regional rowing facility based on Tamaki River which will be a valuable asset for the Howick local community.

ii) Howick Pakuranga Amateur Swimming and Life Saving Club (HPK)

The applicant requests $21,017 to assist with the swimming pool upgrade of Howick Intermediate, making it into an effective training facility.

Relevant background to the project:

· The Howick Pakuranga Amateur Swimming and Life Saving Club is made up of the Howick Swim Gym which is the non-profit commercial arm of the club. These two areas are run separately and have different membership numbers and variances in cultural percentage of membership, HPK 457 and Swim Gym 7,500.

· A memorandum of understanding exists with Howick Intermediate and HPK outlining the nature of the relationship between the two parties and the detail concerning access to the pool by both parties. This will be updated once the pool upgrade work is completed.

· Swimming Counties Manukau supports this funding application.

· HPK runs the swim programme for the John Walker Find Your Field of Dreams Foundation in conjunction with Auckland Council.

Registered organisation/s, make up of groups, membership numbers:

· HPK was incorporated on 24 February 1966 and as a charitable entity on 17 May 2011 and has 457 members.

· Howick Intermediate has 689 students and the pool is used by approx. 8,500 users per year.

Group capability:

HPK is ranked in the top 3 clubs in New Zealand for the National competition meetings in junior swimmers (under 13yrs) and age groups 13 to 18.

Detail description:

The project is to upgrade the existing Howick Intermediate school pool by providing specialised equipment so that HPK can use the pool as a training facility including starting blocks; lane lines; backstroke poles; heating units; pool blankets and lighting.

Project need:

There is a lack of training facilities for the high numbers of swimmers in the Howick region and this pool is one of only two 25 meter pools in the Howick area.

Project outcomes/benefits:

· To increase sporting achievements, nurture talent and celebrate excellence. Members have represented New Zealand in the commonwealth games.

· Because the pool will be heated the school and community will be able to use it for longer periods in the year.

· HPK will provide free Water Safety lessons for the school, at a time of their choosing.

· All primary and intermediate school children in the eastern zone area will benefit from the project as the pool is used for the Primary and Intermediate School Swimming Sports which are held annually.

· A public school key system will be implemented (subject to school approval).

· Flipper ball (game that leads on to water polo) will be implemented in this pool and advertised publicly and through local schools.

Strategic alignment:

· The focus of this project is on providing programmes that collaborate between schools and the sports sector that will provide more flexible opportunities for children and young people. (Auckland Plan, Chapter 5, Priority 1, 339 refers)

· Promote Auckland’s recreational and sporting culture and encourage and nurture sporting talent and excellence. (Auckland Plan, Chapter 5, Directive 5.2)

Operational sustainability:

The HPK swimmers competitive and non-competitive monthly squad fees remain in a trust account to pay for entry fees for competitions throughout the year. The Swim Gym fees pay for all learn to swim pool rentals, operating costs, squad coaching costs and pool rental for both Pakuranga College and Lloyd Elsmore Pool.

Any risks:

· The club has identified some risk areas and has given thought to these being; lower user numbers, higher operational costs and poor relationship with schools. The club regularly undertakes internal questionnaires canvassing issues among its membership which will help to mitigate identified risks.

· The public liability will be held by Howick Intermediate School and accessibility is limited only due to safety requirements.

Project budget/financials:

Total Project Cost	$107,967
Confirmed funding - Lion Foundation - Other funding raising	$49,950 $ 5,000
Organisation contribution	$32,000
Amount requested	$21,017

Recommendation:

The group has demonstrated good working relationships with Howick Intermediate School, Pakuranga College, other local primary and intermediate schools for inter-school competitions. Therefore the usage of the facility is high and will benefit the whole community through increasing the capacity and opportunities for growth.

The applicant seeks less than 20% towards the project. We recommend support for the application for the full amount of $21,017.

iii) Howick Pakuranga Netball Centre

The applicant requests $20,000 for a feasibility study to explore the development of dedicated indoor covered courts.

Relevant background to the project:

The Howick Pakuranga Netball Centre pavilion was upgraded; this project started in 2007, this was a staged project and was completed in 2012 with funding assistance from the legacy Manukau City Council for $1,006,224.

Registered organisation/s, make up of groups, membership numbers:

· The Howick Pakuranga Netball Centre was originally incorporated on 30 December 1970 under the Howick Pakuranga Netball Association and as a charitable entity in 2013.

· The Howick Pakuranga Netball Centre is made up of 26 netballs clubs with a joint membership of approximately 3,000.

Group capability:

This is a well-established Netball Centre with a history of well organised activities and events.

Detail description:

The feasibility study is to identify the most suitable area and the most suited type of structure within the present court area for indoor covered courts with the possibility of sides. Auckland Council would be part of scoping the feasibility study and take into account the use of the courts during the week; opportunities for incorporating basketball or gymnastics; maximizing the potential for astroturf or multi-use court markings and better shared usage of the car parking.

Project need:

· The need has been identified by Netball Northern Zone as the Howick Pakuranga Netball Centre is the 4^th largest centre in the Auckland Council region and has the largest growth in numbers in the past year – up 36% from 2013 to 2014.

· The covered courts will also allow the Centre to run programmes and competitions for all ages in an environment that is not dictated to by weather, or time as offered by other large netball centres.

· The revised Regional Netball facility Code Plan is currently being reviewed and will inform future provision priorities and guide investment.

Project outcomes/benefits:

· The data from the feasibility study will enable the Centre to apply for future funding of the indoor covered courts and achieve their strategic goals.

· The long term improved courts will support an increase in the quality of netball played and the standard of teams.

· An expected outcome for the project is the identification of better usage of courts over more days, as opposed to intensive usage which affects the whole park.

Strategic alignment:

The project does provide quality opportunities for all Aucklanders to participate in recreation and sport that keeps up with the needs of a growing population. (Auckland Plan, Chapter 5, Priority 2, Directive 5.3 refers)

Operational sustainability:

The Howick Pakuranga Netball Centre has a proven track record for managing a large building project.

Any risks:

A risk could be that the feasibility study identifies a need for the proposed facility however funding of the building phase of the desired project is unrealistic because of the high dollar value.

The applicant is aware that a successful grant does not constitute any regulatory approval, or land owner approval which will be required for any future project.

Project budget/financials:

Total Project Cost	$25,000
Organisation contribution	$ 5,000
Amount requested	$20,000

The Howick Pakuranga Netball Centre received $2,500 funding in 2012/13 from the Howick Local Event Fund for 50th jubilee celebrations. The accountability report was due 31/08/13 and it has not been received and is therefore in arrears. This is not overly significant.

Recommendation:

Whilst this project is recommended as it provides a way forward to explore the possibility of the new indoor covered courts it may be appropriate that the project is deferred until after the Howick Local Board commissioned Howick Sports Facilities Plan is completed which will prioritises capital projects for the board and the Revised Netball Facility Plan is completed to guide future investment priorities.

iv) Howick Sailing Club

The applicant requests $25,500 for feasibility study and estimated costs for site survey/plans for the redevelopment of the Howick Sailing clubroom which is situated on Howick Beach Reserve.

Relevant background to the project:

The club approached the Parks Advisor for Howick looking for short term storage solutions and the long term suggestion of a feasibility study to sort out the spaces needed and rather than focusing on detailed design and plans for clubrooms.

Registered organisation/s, make up of groups, membership numbers:

· The Howick Sailing Club was incorporated on 21 October 1954.

· The membership of the club is approximately 112 with 500 plus active participants in the Waterwise sailing programmes including Point View, Cockle Bay, Willowbank and Wakaraanga primary schools.

Group capability:

The club has been operating for 80 years and has attained many sporting achievements both nationally and internationally.

Detail description; timeline for development:

The feasibility study will identify and quantify specific accessible storage requirements to meet the long-term needs of the club and connected parties; identify the advantages and disadvantages of the options including accessibility from storage to water and restrictions on the site such as environmental impacts; select preferred option, develop concept plans that meet agreed specifications; costings; identify potential sources of funding; assess any additional operations costs; develop a project plan including a timeline.

Project need:

· In recent years the club has experienced increased demand from the local community, especially from potential junior membership. The clubs ability to meet this need is limited by the fact that current facilities for boat and equipment storage is at capacity and therefore the club is unable to achieve further growth.

· Yachting New Zealand supports this application and is working closely with the club to ensure that there is longevity and sustainability to this growth and that the clubs activities meet the changing demographic demands of the community that are affecting the sport of sailing and the way people are participating in it.

Project outcomes/benefits:

The club’s activities include learn to sail courses, club sailing, racing and fun with a major focus on water safety awareness and confidence on the water.

Strategic alignment:

The project encourages an ideal environment for a wide range of water sports and the needs of a growing population. (Auckland Plan, Chapter 5, 336 and Priority 2, 5.3 refers)

Operational sustainability:

The club appears to be in a good position to undertake the development of a project going forward. However there would need to be investigations into ensuring links with Pakuranga and Buckland Beach boating clubs to achieve a long term view.

Any risks:

A risk could be that funding of the building phase of the desired project is unachievable.

The applicant is aware that a successful grant does not constitute any regulatory approval, or land owner approval which will be required in the future.

Project budget/financials:

Total Project Cost

- Feasibility study consulting costs $20,000

- Estimated site survey/site plans $5,500

$25,500

Organisation contribution

Nil

Amount requested

$25,500

Recommendation:

This project has been recommended because of the need to maximise the space that is available for the growth on the reserve. It may be appropriate however that the project is deferred until after the Howick Local Board commissioned Howick Sports Facilities Plan is completed which will priorities capital projects.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

11. Workshops were held with the Local Board on 18 September 2014 and in early December to discuss the funding applications. The recommendations in this report fall within the Local Board’s delegated authority.

12. At the Howick Local Board business meeting held on 17 November 2014 the funding applications were considered. One application for Mellons Bay Board of Trustees was declined and the above four funding applications were deferred to a future meeting. (Resolution number HW/2014/176 refers)

13. The timing and implementation of the facility partnership fund will be subject to budget considerations as part of the Long Term plan 2015-2025 process

14. The decisions sought by this report do not trigger the Auckland Council Significance Policy.

Māori impact statement

15. The facility partnership fund assists with the development of accessible multi-use community facilities to increase community participation, including the potential to increase community participation for Māori. No particular negative implications for Māori community or Māori stakeholders have been identified as arising from this report. Given the demographic make-up of the local board area and the nature of the some projects for which funding is requested it is likely some Māori will benefit from these projects.

Implementation

16. A standard Council funding agreement will be developed for any successful applicants and progress towards agreed project outcomes monitored throughout the project.

Discussion

Howick Items

A1. Local board transport capital fund (LBTCF)

1. The Howick Local Board’s funding allocation under the LBTCF is currently $871,903 per annum.

2. The Board’s active projects are included in Table 1 below (NB: ROC = rough order of costs; FEC = firm estimate of cost):

Table 1:

ID#

Project Description

Progress/Current Status

009

Walkway and amenity improvements at Half Moon Bay (HMB) Marina

· $27,000 allocated from 2011/12 Discretionary budget in Aug-13

· $100,000 allocated from LBTCF in Sep-13

· $31,392 incurred to date in detailed design phase as at 25-Nov-14 FEC estimate of $230,000 (construction only)

· Firm estimates (for construction only) and detailed designs were reported to the Board’s transport portfolio meeting on 6-May-14.

· AT has variously met with the Board’s transport portfolio holders, BBYC and HMB marina representatives between May and Oct-14 to discuss, consider and amend the detailed designs.

· Following the last meeting on 2-Oct-14, AT is making minor adjustments to the designs and responding to queries raised.

155

Burswood Business Area enhancements

· FEC estimate reduced to $318,730

· $104,000 allocated by Council’s Business Area Planning Unit

· $214,730 balance from LBTCF

· On 9-Sep-13, the Board resolved that engagement with affected parties and representative groups be undertaken on the project.

· Consultation with affected parties and representative groups was undertaken between late Sep-14 and late Oct-14.

· On 10-Nov-14, the Board approved the project for construction and allocated $240,730 from the LBTCF (based on the FEC estimate of $344,730 less $104,000 allocated from Council’s Business Area Planning Unit).

· Given planned consultation on the Eastern New Network bus services in 2015, and the possibility of changes affecting the two bus stops on Burswood Drive where bus shelters were proposed, the Board’s transport spokesperson has determined that the bus shelter component of the proposal be put on hold at this time. The FEC estimate is therefore reduced by $26,000 to $318,730 with the LBTCF component reduced to $214,730. No further resolution is necessary, but the Board should note the reduced cost.

156

Highland Park bus shelter installation

· FEC estimate of $29,000 for new proposal

· On 9-Sep-13, the Board approved a duplicate shelter for construction based on a ROC of $15,000. A FEC of $22,000 was subsequently provided.

· Given constraints with the site, various options have been considered and discussions held with Adshel over providing additional shelter for bus patrons.

· The options were considered at the Board’s transport portfolio meeting on 18-Nov-14.

· The preferred option is a proposal by Adshel that it remove the existing single shelter and install a new double Classic shelter including two lightboxes and seats. Adshel would agree to cover the costs of removing the existing shelter and installing the new shelter (and maintaining it thereafter) if the Board meets the $28,980 cost of the new double shelter.

· Board approval is therefore sought for construction, based on the FEC of $29,000.

217

Pigeon Mountain Road metering signals

· ROC estimate revised to $280,000

· On 10-Feb-14, the Board approved the project to proceed to detailed design and costing stage based on the ROC of $165,000.

· On 13-Oct-14, the Board approved to project to proceed with detailed design and costing based on the revised ROC of $280,000.

· Detailed design is currently in progress and consultation is being planned following feedback from the Board’s transport portfolio leader. An update on the proposed consultation should be available in time for the December Board meeting.

272

Little Bucklands Beach walkway – both north and south of Grainger Point

· ROC estimated at $300,000 (for approx 150m in both directions)

· On 14-Jul-14, the Board approved this project to progress to detailed design and costing stage.

· The Board’s portfolio holders have requested AT to maintain contact with AC Parks regarding this and other potential projects along the length of The Parade.

· Options are being assessed with AC Parks prior to a suggested joint workshop with the Board.

276

East Tamaki streetlighting upgrade

· ROC estimated at $58,000

· This proposal covers Kerwyn Ave, Andromeda Crescent, Lorien Place and Arwen Place.

· On 14-Jul-14, the Board approved this project to progress directly to construction based on the ROC.

· Construction is expected to commence in early 2015.

278

Paparoa Road/Four Trees intersection pedestrian improvements

· ROC estimated at $70,000

· On 14-Jul-14, the Board approved this project to progress to detailed design and costing stage.

· AT has discussed providing a crossing facility across the mouth of Four Trees with an affected party but they oppose the project due to the impact on their property access and frontage.

· There is the potential to provide an alternative route for pedestrians to cross to the opposite side of Paparoa Road, across the mouth of Bledisloe Street, and then back across Paparoa Road.

· This option could involve just a central refuge island to the west of Four Trees; however a more complete option including a splitter island at Bledisloe Street and relocation of the existing zebra crossing east of would provide greater pedestrian benefits. However, these facilities would not coincide with the pedestrian desire line and a significant risk would be that the new facilities would be under-utilised.

· It is therefore recommended that the Board discontinues this project.

279

Chapel Road pedestrian signals

· ROC estimated at $200,000

· Proposal is for a signalised pedestrian crossing at the pedestrian refuge north of Baverstock Road.

· On 14-Jul-14, the Board approved this project to progress to detailed design and costing stage.

· Detailed design is currently in progress.

274

Point View Drive footpath

· ROC estimated at $136,500

· FEC estimate of $137,400

· On 8-Sep-14, the Board approved this project to progress to detailed design and costing stage, based on the ROC of $136,500.

· On 13-Oct-14, the Board approved this project for construction based on the FEC of $137,500 but subject to the outcome of consultation with affected parties.

· Consultation is currently underway.

372

The Parade, Bucklands Beach, new footpath

· ROC estimated at $5,800

· On 8-Sep-14, the Board approved construction for a section of new footpath on The Parade, based on the ROC of $5,800.

· AT expects construction should be completed before Christmas.

396

Half Moon Bay (HMB) new ferry facility (based on Hobsonville Point)

· $2.5m allocated*

· On 13-Oct-14, the Board allocated up to $2.5m towards a new ferry facility at HMB, *subject to AT allocating at least $1m towards the project.

· AT is currently undertaking investigations with the target of reporting back to the Board in Feb-15 regarding the budget and confirmed project feasibility. See further update at item A2 below.
