Discussion
Local Board Transport Capital Fund:
3. The Papakura Local Board is allocated $306,184 per annum from the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF). These funds can be used annually or rolled together to use the full three years’ of funding.
4. Taking into account funding already allocated, The Papakura Local Board has $737,308 remaining to be utilised in this electoral term.
5. For larger projects the 2016/17 financial years LBTCF ($306,184) can also be brought forward, providing a total of $1,043,492 to spend, if it wishes.
6. The Board has asked Auckland Transport to investigate using the LBCTF allocation to undertake the following projects:
Project |
Description |
Status |
Projected Cost |
Connection of Railway Station and Town Centre: |
Looking at ways of cognitively linking the town Centre with the Railway station. Projects for further investigation include: - Making the intersection Railway Street West/ Wood Street more pedestrian friendly - Great South Road intersection with Opaheke Rd - Investigating a covered walkway on Railway Street West down Avril Street and Wood Street - Providing a mirror to “make safe” the alley way at the end of the Railway Street West Ramp - Street furniture/way-finding lighting etc.. |
This project will be investigated as part of the Papakura Town Centre revitalisation project. Auckland Transport is now working with Will Thresher on what treatments might be appropriate for the Board to consider under the LBTCF.

Refresh of navigation and directional signage, identification of parking buildings and areas of significance/interest (Maraes, galleries) |
AT provided Transport leads (26/2/15) further information and recommendations regarding the way finding project.
|
On July 16 the Board approved a maximum of $110,000 to refresh the signage in the Papakura Local Board area. |
Kelvin School Road:
8. Response to: Item 13 – Auckland Transport Update – December 2014
9. Resolution Number PPK/2014/225
c) urge Auckland Transport to raise the priority for Kelvin Road School to have a 40 km zone outside the school
10. Auckland Transport undertook an investigation at Kelvin Road School. Data is collected and put against a set of criteria that is used region wide to decide which treatment will be installed. AT has recommended Active Warning Signs to be the most appropriate treatment. Kelvin Road does not meet the criteria for a 40km school speed zone. Evidence shows that in terms of driving speeds, both types of signage have a similar effect. This case is now closed.
Elliot Street – Northern Side Footpath and Road Reconstruction:
11. Council cost share has been received. AT will undertake replacement of the entire northern side similar to the southern side.
12. We are currently applying for a Traffic Management plan with construction programed for the first quarter of 2015.
Road Resurfacing
13. 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.
Board Consultations
14. Consultation documents for the following proposals have been provided to the Papakura 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.
Rosehill Drive – Parking Restrictions:
15. Auckland Transport (AT) has received requests from Rosehill School to review the existing parking time restrictions outside 48-54 Rosehill Drive, Papakura. After a review of the situation, it has become evident that existing P10 parking restriction (8 am- 6 pm, Mon-Fri) is not allowing the best use of the parking space.
16. Auckland Transport is proposing to install P10 and P90 restrictions outside 48-54 Rosehill Drive, Papakura.
Beach Road - No Stopping At All Times (NSAAT) Parking Restrictions
17. Auckland Transport (AT) has identified safety issues associated with parked vehicles on Beach Road in Papakura in the vicinity of no. 87. From observations on-site, vehicles occasionally park along the inside of the corner, limiting visibility and preventing through traffic flow when a vehicle is waiting to turn into the school.
18. Auckland Transport is therefore proposing to install new No Stopping At All Times (NSAAT) parking restrictions at this location to improve visibility and maintain adequate lane widths for motorists at this corner.

Papakura Local Board 18 March 2015 |

Purpose
Roads require periodic resurfacing (resealing) to keep the sealed surface waterproof and maintain good skid resistance. The bitumen in the surfacing oxidises over time causing it to become brittle and either crack, unravel or lose chip. Similarly the chip can become polished and/or the road surface flushed resulting in a loss of skid resistance over time.
If resurfacing is carried out at the right time then the surface remains waterproof, skid resistance is maintained and surface water does not penetrate the road pavement. It can be considered to be much the same as repainting a house – if it is left too long and water penetrates the surface then much more costly repairs are required.
Surfacing Types
Roads are resurfaced using either a chip seal or a thin asphaltic concrete surfacing (hotmix). Generally chip seals have a life of 8-12 years while hotmix can be expected to last 10-14 years
Chip seals are the most cost-effective method of resurfacing and in many situations are the only method that can practically be used to restore the road surface to a suitable condition. Hotmix is generally only used on high trafficked roads (those carrying more than 10,000 vehicles per day) or in high stress areas such as at intersections or cul-de-sac heads.
Chip seals cost in the order of $4-8 per square metre while hotmix costs $20-30 per square metre depending on the type of mix used. In the 2014/15 year we will resurface 430 km of roads at a cost of approximately $50 million – 80% of the resealing carried out will be chip seals.
Prior to resurfacing pre-seal repairs such as digouts, crack sealing and surface levelling are undertaken. There is also considerable effort made to coordinate the resurfacing works with other planned renewal and improvement works in the road corridor (both road and utility related) so as to ‘dig once’.
Chip Seals
Chip seals can be either single coat or two coat seals though in most cases now two coat seals are used as they are more resistant to turning stresses.
Each resurfacing site is subject to a specific seal design and the choice of surfacing and chip size used is dependent on factors such as the traffic volumes and loading, the existing surface texture and pavement strength, turning stresses etc.
Issues
Many resurfacing complaints arise from the resurfacing of existing aged hotmix surfaces with chip seal when they reach the end of their service life. These hotmix surfaces were usually constructed by developers at the time of subdivision and when they are resurfaced with a chip seal this is not welcomed by adjoining landowners. The need to periodically resurface the road to avoid water ingress into the road pavement is often not understood by the adjoining residents and they consider the rougher chip seal surface to be inferior to that of the smoother hotmix.
Chip seals also continue to shed excess chip for several months following resurfacing which is a nuisance for adjoining landowners and can create the mistaken impression that the new chip seal surface is defective. Following resurfacing new chip seals particularly two-coat seals can require 4-5 sweeps to remove excess chip from the surface.
It is also usual for the bitumen to soften during warm weather for several years following application until such time as the kerosene fully evaporates from the bitumen. At this time it will be susceptible to scuffing from turning vehicles. These areas can be treated with the application of fresh sealing chip.

Supporting Māori Input into Local Board Decision Making
File No.: CP2015/03667
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.
That the Papakura 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 Manurewa Local Boards, the Papakura 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).

Consideration
Local Board Views and Implications
11. The Papakura 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.

Submission on the Water Supply and Wastewater Network Bylaw 2014
Papakura Local Board welcomes the proposed consolidation and updating of regulations covering the provision of water supply and the treatment of waste water. The local board support the purpose of the bylaw, namely:
a) protect the public water supply and waste water networks from damage, misuse and interference
b) assist in the provision of safe and efficient water supply and wastewater services in Auckland
c) protect the environment and the health and safety of people using the water supply or wastewater network
After giving due consideration to the clauses of the proposed bylaw, the local board believes that the provisions are reasonable and, in general, supports them. There are some specific concerns however, which are set out below.
1. The apparent intention to continue operating a combined sewer network in some locations is concerning, due to the inherent risk this poses to the health of local watercourses and the Manukau Harbour. The Manukau Harbour has for too long been used as a dumping ground and urgent work is needed to improve all discharges into the harbour. The proposed bylaw should be strengthened to require that all practicable steps are taken to avoid overflow or discharges of wastewater into streams and harbours.
2. The Council and Watercare should be taking a cross-organisation approach to managing the wastewater network. It appears that for administrative purposes, on-site wastewater systems are considered separately as they are not part of Watercare’s network. This is not helpful from either a customer or a sustainability perspective.
3. The opportunity for a more rigorous cross organisation review of matters relating to wastewater and stormwater seems to have been missed. Mitigation or avoidance of issues with the network could be assisted by reducing the flow of stormwater into the collection system. This can be achieved through green infrastructure techniques such as permeable surfaces, green roofs, bio-retention systems and rainwater harvesting. Additionally grey water collection and use on site reduces sewage discharges.

4. The draft bylaw and associated documentation does not mention the franchise agreement under which Veolia is responsible for the provision of water and wastewater services in the Papakura district. The contract period is an initial term of 30 years with a 20 year right of renewal. In the local board’s view, the body of the bylaw should recognise this agreement and provide Veolia with the necessary powers. This would provide certainty to Veolia and transparency and accountability to customers in the Papakura area.
I trust the above submission points are clear. The local board wishes to speak on its submission.
Yours faithfully

The detailed design has now been completed, ready to be submitted for consenting. The lighting components have been selected. The suppliers have been asked to provide a timeframe of when these will be ready for installation. Once this is received an update and more accurate proposed completion date will be provided to the Board and Rugby League Club.
The Project Team are currently working with the Lighting Designer to fast track the project.
