Supporting Māori Input into Local Board Decision Making

File No.: CP2015/01672

Purpose

1. To update the local board on the outcomes of work undertaken in 2014 to improve Māori input into local board decision-making.

2. To seek support and participation of the local board in a political steering group on Māori input into local board decision making.

Executive Summary

3. During July 2014 Iwi Maori were invited by Council to participate in a focus group to investigate options for improving local board engagement with Mana Whenua and Mataawaka. A total of six meetings of the focus group were held between July and November, and significant, complex issues were identified.

4. The focus group’s recommendations were presented to board members at a hui during November 2014. One of these recommendations was that a further political steering group be developed to include local board members and Mana Whenua.

5. In order to implement the recommendations, this report recommends allocation of $8,000 and the appointment of a board member to represent the local board on the political steering group.

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) commits to partner with Mana Whenua, taking a collaborative approach guided by Te Tiriti o Waitangi, in order to:

i) further explore, enhance and enable meaningful relationships and genuine engagement with iwi Māori, and

ii) reduce inequalities and improve community wellbeing.

b) appoints a board member to represent the local board on a political steering group on Māori input into local board decision-making.

c) allocates $8,000 to support the political steering group.

Discussion

6. Along with the Ōtara-Papatoetoe, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Papakura Local Boards, the Manurewa Local Board supported a focus group on Māori input into local board decision-making during 2014. This focus group met at a total of six hui. Local board members were invited to attend two of these hui with the focus group, firstly to discuss the group’s progress on their work, and upon conclusion of the group’s work, to receive their recommendations. (A full overview of the themes, findings and recommendations of the focus group is included in attachment A, and a list of participants in attachment B).

7. At the conclusions of their work, the group’s recommendations were as follows:

a) That local boards and Mana Whenua partner to further explore, enhance and enable meaningful relationships and genuine engagement with iwi Māori

b) That local boards and Mana Whenua partner to reduce inequalities and improve community wellbeing

c) That Te Tiriti o Waitangi and a collaborative governance approach (Twyford model [see attachment A]) is applied to guide the partnership between local boards and Mana Whenua that will include:

§ A commitment to collaboration

§ Co-defining what really matters

§ Co-designing a process

§ Co-creating a solution

§ Co-delivering actions

8. In order to address these recommendations and implement the suggested actions, further work and funding is required.

9. To undertake further work on behalf of the local board, this report recommends that the local board appoint one board member to represent the board on a further political steering group. This would require the member to attend a minimum of six hui of approximately two hours each.

10. To support the activities of the political steering group, this report recommends that the local board allocate $8,000 from its Community Response Fund (OPEX). Along with equal resources allocated by the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, Ōtara-Papatoetoe, Manurewa and Papakura local boards, this money will support the activities of the political steering group. These activities will be undertaken via 6-10 hui and are outlined in the cost structure below (Table 1).

Table 1: Project cost structure.
Requirement	Cost
Contracted expert support in project management and facilitation	$17,300
Meeting fees for non-Council participants	$11,200
Catering	$2,100
Room hire	$1,400
Total expected project cost	$32,000

Consideration

Local Board Views and Implications

11. The Manurewa Local Board Plan outlines the board’s intent to “strengthen its relationships with mana whenua” and to “value the guidance of mana whenua and support the role of kaitiakitanga”. The work outlined in this report seeks to operationalise this intent.

Maori Impact Statement

12. The previous focus group was made up of Māori individuals from a wide range of backgrounds. This included Mana Whenua individuals whose iwi are traditional custodians of the local area, and mataawaka individuals who belong to iwi from outside of the area.

13. It is intended that this work contribute to achieving the goals of Auckland Council’s Māori Responsiveness Framework. In particular, the political steering group is intended to enable “Effective Māori participation in democracy” (Goal 2 of the Māori Responsiveness Framework, p. 4).

14. The previous focus group considered their recommendations the best possible way forward in improving Māori input into local board decision-making in ways that are compatible with Te Ao Māori, the Māori world view.

Implementation Issues

15. It is intended that the political steering group be facilitated and project managed by an expert from outside of Council with the necessary skills in tikanga (Māori protocols) to ensure effective outcomes.

16. The implementation of this work will be overseen by staff from Local Board Services with support from Te Waka Angamua.

17. In keeping with the findings of the focus group, it is envisaged that support or advice to the political steering group will also be sought from Mataawaka at the invitation of Mana Whenua.

Services

Cycling

21. More than 90 women participated in the inaugural Frocks on Bikes event held at Hurstmere Green in Takapuna. The event labeled a ‘Summer Fling’ is part of Auckland Transport’s ‘Cyclings the go’ programme which is designed to encourage more Aucklanders to take up cycling for recreation, health and as a credible form of transport.

Shop by Rail

22. Auckland Transport launched a pre-Christmas awareness campaign highlighting how easy it is to access major shopping precincts around Auckland by train. The ‘Shopping Adventures by Train’ advertising directed Christmas shoppers to retail centres at Downtown Auckland, New Lynn, Manukau, Sylvia Park, Onehunga, Newmarket and Henderson.

Commute Travel Planning Programme

23. A national “Let’s Carpool’ survey was undertaken with those registered on the ‘Let’s Carpool’ website and 19.5% of the Auckland respondents identified carpooling as their main mode of travelling to work.

24. The completed report ‘Auckland Tertiary Institutions: Developing a Strategic Approach to Travel Planning 2014-2016, will be the basis of consultation on travel planning with tertiary institutions. The Commute team will be working closely with the Public Transport team to develop an on-line campaign to promote public transport and travel choices to tertiary institutions and their students.

Road Corridor Delivery

25. Good progress has been made with the delivery of the pavement rehabilitation and resurfacing programmes with 11.1 km of pavement rehabilitation and 187.1 km of resurfacing completed to date. We are on track to achieve the target lengths with this work expected to be substantially complete by the end of March 2015.

26. The table below outlines the target lengths set for the full year and progress to date:

There will be four geographically based contracts - North, South, Central and West.

28. These contracts will each be for a term of 4 years (with an option for two extensions of one year each at Auckland Transport’s discretion) and will commence on 1 July 2015. No contractor will be able to win or participate in more than two of the four contracts.

29. The work includes the carrying out of all maintenance, renewals and minor capital works on the street lighting network. It also includes the replacement of the existing 70W high pressure sodium luminaires with approved LED luminaires.

30. Tenders have been called for the carrying out of a number of pavement rehabilitation projects in the west and south areas. The work tendered comprises 15-20% of the total pavement rehabilitation programmes for these areas. The remaining projects are being carried out through our 10 area-based road maintenance contracts.

31. The purpose of tendering this work is to provide an opportunity for contractors other than our road maintenance contractors to bid for this work and also to benchmark the tendered rates in these contracts against the rates in our existing road maintenance contracts. This is part of an on-going commitment to maintain a sustainable contracting environment in the Auckland region.

Manurewa Local Board

12 March 2015

Auckland Transport Update – March 2015

File No.: CP2015/02881

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) receive the report entitled “Auckland Transport Update – March 2015”.

Discussion

Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF):

3. Under the Local Board Transport Capital Fund the Manurewa Local Board is allocated $593,314 per annum. 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. During the 2012/2013 financial year only $34,178 was spent leaving $559,136 of the annual budget unspent. This unspent money has been authorised by the Governing Body to be rolled over on a one-time-only basis, giving the Manurewa Local Board a total budget of $2,339,078 available in this electoral term to be spent on transport projects.

5. In 2012/2013 the Board allocated $534,000 to seven projects, and in 2013/2014 another $48,000 was allocated to one more project. The estimated final cost of these eight projects that will be spent in the current electoral term is $322,000, the major reason for the reduction in cost being the reduced scope subsequently decided by the Board for the Wiri Industrial area footpaths.

6. The balance of $2,017,358 has been allocated to the projects below.

Manurewa Local Board Transport Capital Fund current project update:

ID#	Project Description	Progress/Current Status
164	New Footpaths in Manurewa - arterial roads in Wiri	· ROC = $150,000 · These works have been delayed due to the construction of new traffic signals at Wiri Station and Langley road. This work is now complete. However, this has significantly altered the original plan. · AT is working on a scope and costing, however, it is expected this will have an impact on the initial ROC. · Further details will be provided at the March Board meeting.
	Arts and Plants: Investigating a pedestrian and cycle link to Nathan Homestead and Auckland Botanical Gardens. Projects under investigation include: a new shared path, seating, new informative signage and safe crossing treatments.	· Resolution Dec 14 - MR/2014/258 approved the following projects to detailed design phase. · ROC - $858,283 · Site visits taken place. There are some impediments to the original design. We are currently working through alternative options and once preliminary designs are available They will be shared with the Board.
	Great South Road/Railway station connectivity: This project will incorporate a range of practical opportunities to better link the Great South Road and the Train Station. Potential improvements include: Easier movement through South Mall, way finding signage and real time commuter information.	· Resolution Dec 14 - MR/2014/258 approved the following projects to detailed design phase. · ROC – $75,000 · Signage/Route information - AT has visited site and a draft photographic document will be provided to Board members April 15. · Commuter information – Currently working through procurement options.
	Covered Walkway: covered walkway over bridge and stairway onto platform.	· Resolution Dec 14 - MR/2014/258 approved the following projects to detailed design phase. · ROC – $1,430,000 · Contract for preliminary design awarded · First draft planned for completion end Of March. · Included in scope - area over road to South Mall included along with pedestrian landing areas at the top of the station stairs.
	Great South Road (GSR) pedestrianisation: The Board is investigating a range of options for making Great South Road, Manurewa more pedestrian friendly. Improvements may include: Building a gateway to Manurewa and enhanced pedestrian crossing facilities.	· through resolution MR/2014/258 approved the following projects to detailed design phase · ROC – $387,730 · A number of the proposed treatments are not appropriate given GSR is an over dimensional route. Internal engineers are investigating what treatments/alternative options are possible with an aim to “a more pedestrian friendly Manurewa”.

Redoubt-Mill Road upgrade:

7. Auckland Transport has identified the route for the upgrade of Redoubt Road-Mill Road corridor and applied to Auckland Council to designate land (Notices of Requirement) for the project. Letters and information has been sent to landowners to notify them of the route identified and the NoR lodgement. The council is expected to publicly notify the Notices of Requirement (NoR) for the designation in early 2015.

Road Resurfacing

8. Roads require periodic resurfacing (resealing) to keep the sealed surface waterproof and maintain good skid resistance. Attachment A provides further detail on the surfacing types and reasons these are used.

Consultation documents on proposed improvements:

9. 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.

Hautu Drive, Wiri:

10. Auckland Transport are proposing changes to traffic and parking controls in Hautu Drive, Wiri as a result of resource consent being granted and implemented for 1-3 Hautu Drive. In order to provide improved sight lines for drivers exiting the site it is desirable to install a No-Stopping-At-All-Times (NSAAT) restriction across the frontage of the site in order to assist drivers of vehicles entering a new vehicle crossing for the site. An extension to the existing flush median and right turn bay across the new driveway is also proposed. The Board were supportive of this proposal.

7. In accordance with current Council guidelines the available lease premises were advertised for a one month period from 25 November 2014 in the local newspaper and on the Council website. Council staff also used local and Council networks to inform any interested and eligible parties. Public advertising ensures transparency of the process to the public and open access by community groups.

8. One application for the vacancy was received from Counties Manukau Cricket Association Incorporated. The Counties Cricket Association was incorporated on 26 May 1947 and became Counties Manukau Cricket Association Incorporated on 18 December 2002. The Association uses the premises as office space and from which to administer cricket in clubs and schools on a regional basis. Two rooms are used as offices from which the Association conducts its work, two as changing rooms, one as an umpires room and one as a common area for lunches and briefings during tournaments and matches.

9. The Association works with over 9,000 participants including members of clubs and schools in the area. Approximately 7,000 of these participants are young people and 2,000 are adults.

Manurewa Local Board action to reduce alcohol related harm

File No.: CP2015/03312

Purpose

1. To highlight work undertaken by the local board over the past months aimed at reducing alcohol related harm in the communities of Manurewa.

Executive Summary

2. Manurewa Local Board has given a high priority to actions that could reduce alcohol related harm.

3. The local board has advocated and taken action to reduce access to alcohol within communities where residents have said it is a problem.

4. In particular, the local board has objected to the renewal of an off licence sales outlet in Clendon and appeared before Alcohol Regulatory Licensing Authority to appeal a decision of the District Licensing Committee for a new off sales premises in the same area.

5. The Hearings for both were held on Friday, 20 February 2015 and the decisions from both are awaited.

6. A further objection has been lodged with the District Licensing Committee for an off licence sales outlet in Rowandale and is yet to be heard.

7. Local Alcohol bans in particular public places like playgrounds and parks are another means of limiting the harm arising from alcohol use.

8. On 3 March 2015 the local board held a meeting of individuals and groups to outline the effects of the new Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw which came into effect on 18 December 2014.

9. These Alcohol Control Bylaws have come into being as new evidenced based criteria set by the government means that Auckland Council can only retain existing alcohol bans in those areas that had or are continuing to experience a high level of alcohol related crime or disorder.

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) note the report entitled “Manurewa Local Board action to reduce alcohol related harm”.

Comments

Taking Action

10. The need to reduce alcohol related harm in Manurewa is not a recent message and has been a burning issue for residents for a number of years. Submissions and conversations surrounding the Local Board Plans, Annual Plans and meetings with community organisations regularly raise the need to take action to reduce access to alcohol.

11. This has resulted in the local board alerting communities to new and renewal applications for off licence sales premises, assisting community members in formulating objections and working with others to highlight the harm that alcohol misuse use can cause.

Objections and appeals to new and renewal applications for off licence sales

12. The local board has also taken action itself as have over the years individual members to lodge objections to applications for new and renewal applications for the sale of alcohol. These have ranged from recommending that opening hours be limited, to reducing the number of off licence sales outlets in areas such as Clendon.

13. Responding to a vigorous expression of concern in the Clendon community to an application to open an additional off licence sales outlet, the local board submitted an objection as did others from that community. The objections were heard by a panel of the District Licensing Committee in November 2014, who made the decision to grant the application with conditions which reduced the hours of trading.

14. This decision was appealed by the local board and was heard by the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority on 20 February 2015. The decision of the Authority on this matter is awaited.

15. More recently the local board has submitted an objection to an application for an off licence sales outlet in the Rowandale area. The evidence required needs to be specific and related to the premises.

16. Whilst general research on the harmful effects of alcohol misuse is significant, the District Licensing Committee have been clear about the parameters of their decisions which are focused on the application and the objects of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. Other criteria they address include the suitability of the applicant; days and hours it is proposed to sell alcohol; premises design; key matters raised in reports from the Police, Inspector or Medical Officer of Health and whether ” the amenity and good order of the locality are already so badly affected by the effects of the issue of existing licenses that (1) they would be unlikely to be reduced further (or would be likely to be reduced further to only a minor extent) by the effects of the issue of the licence; but (2) it is nevertheless desirable not to issue any further licenses.”

Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014

17. The Local Government (Alcohol Reform) Amendment Act 2012 makes changes to alcohol control by laws (liquor bans). New evidenced based criteria set out in the legislation means that councils can only retain existing alcohol bans in those areas that had or are continuing to experience a high level of alcohol related crime or disorder. As a result and after public consultation, the Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw came into effect on 18 December 2014. This provides a framework for local boards to undertake the required statutory review of all alcohol bans, which is required to be completed by October 2015.

18. Those alcohol bans not reviewed by the end of October will lapse.

19. The local board held a meeting on 3 March 2015 of community organisations and stakeholder groups to explore how best to gather evidence specific to alcohol related crime or disorder happening in park areas. Community members present undertook to submit specific evidence to support retaining of particular current alcohol ban areas.

Maori impact statement

20. Maori have been and continue to be active around reducing levels of harm from alcohol misuse. Maori have made formal submissions on the subject and been involved in discussions on approaches to reduce the impacts of alcohol on Mana Whenua, Mataawaka and the wider community.

Implementation

Item	Who to Action
1. Southern Corridor Project and its Interface with Parks adjacent to the route Jim Sephton (Auckland Transport), Louise Strogen (consultant for NZTA) gave an overview of the southern corridor and the third-laning of the southern motorway projects and the potential impacts on affected parks in the Manurewa Local Board area. The project will begin in October 2015. The realignment of the Orams Road bridge will be in the long term. There will be a temporary closure of the cycleway and walkway going under the southern motorway and Orams Road. The Fergusson Reserve will also be affected. The board suggested further consultation with the community around Trimdon and Fergusson Street to inform them of the proposed closure of Fergusson Reserve.
2. Alcohol Ban Review Daniel Pouwels (Principal Policy Analyst) tabled data relating to the alcohol bans in the Manurewa Local Board area. With the changes to the Sale of Alcohol Act the rules have changed with regard to alcohol bans. Alcohol bans areas must be evidence based. Blanket bans are no longer legal. Therefore all existing alcohol bans are to be reviewed to determine that there was sufficient evidence when they were made. The board decide on what they deem to be sufficient evidence. The Regulatory and Bylaws Committee will have an overview of the decisions the local boards will be making. The board wanted time to think through the criteria for their approach. Daniel to provide a copy of the standard form developed for distribution to community groups to help with evidence gathering. The board will be asked to adopt the alcohol bans at the May business meeting.	Daniel
3. Community grants policy – implementation Marion Davies ( Community Funding Programme Manager) gave an overview of the Community Grants Policy. Sharon McGinity (Team Leader Event Facilitation (South)), Willie Iosia (Sport and Recreation Advisor), Mark Purdie (Acting Lead Financial Advisor), Jenny Young (Community Funding Advisor) and Shamila Unka (Team Leader Sport & Recreation (Central)) were also in attendance. The Community Grants Policy will replace all the types of funding currently available. There will be three types of funding: i) Quick response – for grants up to $2,000 – lower level of assessment of applications. ii) Local response – for grants greater than $2,000 or funding agreements – a more robust assessment would be applied to ascertain how the project aligns with the local board priorities. iii) Match funding – community groups could match their funding dollar for dollar. The board began work on developing the criteria for the Manurewa Local Board implementation of the Community Grants Policy. The board will be asked to adopt their grants programme at the April or May business meeting. Funding rounds will be advertised in May/June.

Meeting closed at 8.35pm.
