2015 work program and approach
File No.: CP2015/01140
Purpose
To provide a basis for discussion on
optimising the effectiveness of the Heritage Advisory Panel (HAP).
Executive
Summary
Matters to
be considered
· Role of panel
· Focus of panel
· Improving the panels effectiveness
What is the
role of the HAP?
· Global role as set out on the Council website for all advisory panels to
identify and communicate to council the interest and preferences of the
community( heritage )
· Provides heritage community with a knowledgeable forum to bring issues of
concern and for judicious advice to made to council around those issues
· To provide advice to Council that assists Auckland to be a national
leader in heritage management
· To provide critical thought challenge to Council on heritage issues and
projects.
Focus of HAP
The inaugural panel focused on policy
development matters relating to the Auckland Plan and the Unitary Plan. With
the Auckland Plan and associated plans being adopted and the Unitary Plan being
in the formal hearing process there is now much less new policy development
work being undertaken by Council
Potential 2015 Foci for Panel
· Place for public raising of issues of
concern to heritage community e.g. St David’s Church(November meeting) and
DOCOMOMO New Zealand regarding Auckland Civic Building(February 2015 meeting)
· Building capacity- skills and experience- follow up on
work undertaken by sub group end of 2013.
Officers are currently working on the following
items and advice may be sought from the panel at the appropriate time.
· Pre 1944 Survey Results
· Incentives - Reviewing criteria and focus
of Council heritage grants
· Legislative impacts that impact on Heritage
· Sites of significance/value to Mana Whenua
· Critiquing approaches to heritage projects e.g. St
James
Matters that
may improve the panel’s effectiveness
· Frequency of meetings -it is proposed to
have six meetings, generally every two months, with set agendas
· The greater use of small working groups
particularly when there is stronger membership around key themes could increase
the panel’s effectiveness and garner more of their expertise
· Issues brought before the panel – should have a clear purpose and be
clear about what the question(s) are for the panel- otherwise risk of little
added value in a matter being taken to the panel.

Recommendation/s
That the Heritage Advisory
Panel:
a) agree on three areas of work
that they wish to investigate.

Heritage Incentives
File No.: CP2015/01157
Purpose
1. To seek the
panels advice on the proposed approach for Heritage Incentives.
Executive
summary
1. In July 2014
the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee (RSP) endorsed the planned steps to
develop Auckland Council’s approach to Heritage Incentives.
2. A draft
approach was presented to the panel in 2014 and addresses both natural,
cultural and historic heritage incentives.
3. This latest
draft (Attachment A) provides a framework designed to
encourage proactive and effective management of our natural, historic and
Māori cultural heritage.
4. Incentives
encourage private investment in heritage, support best practice and regulatory
approaches (for example, in the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan [PAUP]), create
pride in heritage protection and conservation, generate goodwill and foster
better relationships between the Council and land/property owners of heritage
assets. The wider community and future generations also benefit from an
investment in something they value.
5. The draft
Heritage Incentives Approach (Attachment A) consists of the following:
- Objectives and policies that frame the delivery of incentives
schemes (tool-kit) and guide outcomes;
- Principles to guide the effective implementation of incentive tools
and to reflect our values for our decision –making, monitoring and evaluation;
- Incentive schemes (tool-kit), which outline the range of tools for
implementation identified as effective and feasible to support successful
outcomes for natural, historic and Māori cultural heritage.
6. In preparing
the proposed approach, the Council undertook a comprehensive literature review
to understand what kinds of incentives work in cities around the world. We also
held interviews with past grant administrators and recipients to understand how
incentives have been structured and used; and carried out public consultation,
including surveys and workshops, with a diversity of heritage and environmental
groups. Finally, a multi-criteria analysis was prepared
to help compare the relative benefits of non-regulatory incentives.
7. A number of Hui
were held with Auckland’s Mana Whenua to identify issues with past approaches
and solutions that would be more responsive to Māori aspirations as kaitiaki and enable more effective co-management
of incentives for Māori
heritage. A project working group has provided in-put
into the draft Heritage Incentives Approach attached. This is currently being
reviewed by the wider Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum. Minor amendments are expected
from this final review.
8. The key
messages from all engagement, research and analysis is that:
- a combination of incentives is required, not “one size fits all”,
- specific, measurable outcomes and targets are important to ensure
incentives are effective, efficient and can be monitored, and
- regulatory and non-regulatory mechanisms are interlinked.
9. This proposed
approach for Heritage Incentives will replace all legacy council methods for
non-regulatory incentives and provide one consistent approach for Auckland
Council. To date, there has been some consolidation of
these various approaches, including the adoption of the Community Grants Policy
to provide for (amongst other things) regional and local grants for natural,
historic and Māori cultural heritage management.
10. The Heritage
Incentives approach is intended to guide the continuing work of Council staff,
for example, for the delivery of the grants programme for heritage acquisition
fund and technical advice and information to land and property owners for
heritage assets within the existing funding envelope. The approach can also
inform future funding allocation through the Long Term Plan (LTP) and future
annual plan budgets. For example, it is an opportunity to consider rates relief
schemes that are currently in operation and need re-evaluation during 2016.
This can also be achieved through the implementation of pilot projects to allow
evaluation for future recommendations.
11. If this approach is approved, an implementation plan will be
established with future tasks that give effect to the policies outlined,
including a monitoring and evaluation programme of schemes as they are
developed.
