Auckland Transport Update Report – Henderson-Massey Local Board

File No.: CP2015/07707

Purpose

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’s activities in their Local Board area.

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a) Receives the Auckland Transport Report for the Henderson-Massey Local Board.

INFORMATION REPORTS

Auckland’s Public Transport Numbers Keep Going Up

1. There’s been another big jump in the numbers using public transport in Auckland. Annual patronage now exceeds 78 million boardings, an increase of 10%. In March 2015 there were 8.4 million boardings, a jump of more than one million on March 2014.

2. Auckland Transport chairman Dr Lester Levy says it’s been a big year with increased services across rail and bus and the gradual replacement of the diesel trains with new electric models.

3. The big performer was rail which reached 13.4 million passenger trips for the year, an annual increase of 21%. March saw a monthly record high of 1.56 million train trips, an increase of 29% on March last year.

4. Auckland Transport is moving to speed up the roll-out of the electric trains as public feedback shows Aucklanders want the extra capacity and the improved service that they provide.

5. Auckland Transport is aiming to have a full electric network by the end of July 2015, except for the link between Papakura and Pukekohe which will continue to use diesel trains. These will be refurbished over time to provide an enhanced experience.

6. The electric trains will provide improved travel experience and more capacity on the Southern and Western Lines. Auckland Mayor Len Brown says the figures are good news for the City Rail Link.

7. At this rate, it is expected Auckland will meet the Government's threshold for financial support for the CRL early in 2017, three years earlier than projected, as growth has been accelerating since late 2013.” March was also a record breaking month on the Northern Express with patronage up almost 17% on the same month last year, the 12 month total reached 2.8 million.

8. It was also a record for other bus services, patronage rose 8% to 56.6 million. Ferry numbers for the year totaled 5.4 million trips, up 5% on an annual basis.

9. Auckland Transport believes growth on bus services is attributed to increased services and frequency, improving travel times from new bus priority lanes and a significant improvement in service punctuality being achieved by bus operators through new timetables.

10. Further service level increases and punctuality improvements are planned for later this year along with the introduction of double decker buses on a number of routes. New network designs will also be introduced from later this year.

11. Meanwhile, Auckland Transport apologises for recent disruptions on the rail network including track and signal failures (operated by KiwiRail), mechanical breakdowns with the old diesel trains and staffing issues.

12. The new timetable from December 2014 introduced a 20% plus increase in services across the constrained Auckland rail network making it difficult to recover when there is an issue. Auckland Transport is working with the rail operator Transdev to speed-up the recovery time when unfortunately inevitable failures occur.

City Rail Link Contract Award

13. The City Rail Link (CRL) takes another significant step forward with the announcement of the appointment of two construction consortia to commence the first phase of the CRL construction in the Downtown area.

14. There was wide interest from the New Zealand construction industry and Auckland Transport has appointed two Joint Venture contractors for the work; Downer NZ and Soletanche Bachy JV and Connectus (McConnell Dowell and Hawkins JV) for the first phase of design at a cost of about $3 million.

15. The next phase will provide for a negotiated contract to construct the City Rail Link.

16. The Downer lead joint venture has been chosen to progress the CRL work through and under Britomart Station and Queen Street to the Downtown Shopping Centre site with construction likely to start in early 2016.

17. The contract includes establishing temporary accommodation for Britomart Station’s ticketing and customer service operations, underpinning the historic former Chief Post Office building, to allow the construction of the rail tunnels beneath and reinstating Britomart Station and upgrading urban space and surrounding roads.

18. Downer say they are excited to have won a contract for what will be the most significant improvement to Auckland’s transport network since the opening of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

19. The Connectus Consortium will construct the cut and cover tunnels under and along Albert St from Customs St to Wyndham St. The work is likely to start in October with the relocation of a major stormwater line in Albert Street between Swanson and Wellesley Streets.

20. McConnell Dowell and Hawkins have a combined history of over 100 years in infrastructure construction in New Zealand and say It's enormously satisfying to be working together on a transport project that is helping to shape the future.

21. Auckland’s population is set to grow rapidly over the next 20 years, reaching close to two million with nearly four out of every 10 New Zealanders calling the city home.

22. Once completed, the CRL will turn a one way cul-de-sac rail system at Britomart, into a two way through system that will be able to carry 30,000 people an hour, providing an efficient and reliable transport choice for Aucklander’s.

RESPONSES AND PROGRESS REPORTS

100K SPEED SIGN IN BIRDWOOD ROAD REQUEST

23. The Local Board has requested Auckland Transport to investigate installing a speed sign at the Glen Road end of Birdwood Road just past Crows Road.

Update

24. Auckland Transport is looking into this request and will report back to the Local Board the outcome of the investigation.

CONSULTATION FOR PROPOSED SIGNALISED CROSSING ON BORDER ROAD FOR TWIN STREAMS SHARED PATH

25. Auckland Transport (AT) would like to provide a crossing facility for cyclists and pedestrians on Border Road along the Twin Streams Shared Path route. Because of the high traffic volume on Border Road, the cyclists and pedestrians experience delays and they take risks to find gaps in the traffic to cross. The proposal is to provide a safe crossing facility for cyclists and pedestrians, with the installation of a signalised crossing. This will connect the Twin Streams Shared Path and result in fewer delays for pedestrians and cyclists.

Local Board Response

26. The Local Board Transport portfolio holders are happy with what is being proposed.

SAFETY AROUND SCHOOLS PROGRAMME

27. As part of the safety around schools programme, the Community and Road Safety Team has investigated the following projects to improve road safety and walking and cycling for community in the area.

Pooks Road speed table

28. Pooks Road provides direct access to Ranui rail station. Site observations and surveys have found that approximately 80 school children cross Pooks Road to access either the railway station or nearby schools during the morning peak times. Similar numbers of pedestrians were observed during the evening peak times. During the school peak times school children cross Pooks Road, to access the local set of shops. There has been one serious child pedestrian crash in the vicinity of these shops. The existing pedestrian crossing facility on Pooks Road is away from the desired pedestrian walk lines and is therefore underutilised. It is therefore proposed to install a speed table on Pooks Road to provide safer pedestrian connectivity between the railway station and the set of shops on Pooks Road.

Metcalfe Road cycle lanes

29. Metcalfe Road is a collector road and is included in the regional cycle network plan for future cycle network development. Site surveys in the area suggest that approximately 150-200 cyclists use Metcalfe Road and adjacent roads each day. There is a proposal to implement a western rail cycleway along the railway line terminating by the Ranui Station Road. Site observations also show that the parking demand along Metcalfe Road is low. To maintain the cycle connectivity and to provide a safer cycle network, it is proposed to install cycle lanes on both sides of Metcalfe Road as shown in the attached plans. The proposal will remove all on street parking along Metcalfe Road.

Local Board Response

30. The Local Board Transport portfolio holders are happy with what is being proposed.

BIKE RACKS

31. Auckland Transport is proposing to place bike racks at the locations listed below.

Sector	Local Board	Town centre	Location	No of Racks
West	Henderson-Massey	Glendene	240 Great North Road, Henderson	1
			4343 Great North Road, Henderson - Entrance	2
			4343 Great North Road, Henderson - Dairy	1

Local Board Response

32. The Local Board Transport portfolios are happy with what is being proposed.

COLETTA LANE, TE ATATU SOUTH – PROPOSED NO STOPPING AT ALL TIMES (NSAAT) RESTRICTION

33. Auckland Transport has had concerns raised by local residents in regard to accessibility issues on Coletta Lane, due to parked vehicles. To help improve safety AT are proposing to install NSAAT ‘Broken Yellow Lines’ on the road as shown on the attached drawing.

Local Board Response

34. The Local Board Transport portfolio holders are happy with what is being proposed.

SOLJAN DRIVE

35. As part of the Mitre 10 development, Soljan Drive will be created to form a signalised intersection with Central Park Drive.

36. There are currently 52 parking spaces on Central Park Dr. The proposal retains 36, resulting in a loss of approximately16 spaces.

37. There was significant backlash from the public regarding the proposed NSAATs on Central Park Drive as a result of the original proposal to remove 52 parking spaces. Auckland Transport requested parking surveys, so that it would be clear to the Traffic Control Committee, that the removal of the spaces should not be a significant issue, as survey results show that the peak parking demand is approximately 11 spaces.

38. Auckland Transport is currently working through the issues raised by the Local Board and this will be reported back to the Local Board.

WAITEMATA DRIVE PROPOSED EXTRA PEDESTRIAN CROSSING

39. The Local Board has received a complaint around the loss of parking along Waitemata Drive with the proposed installation of extra pedestrian crossings and yellow no parking lines on Waitemata Drive.

Update

40. Auckland Transport has requested a workshop to work through the Board’s concerns.

TE ATATU CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT – MAY 2015

41. There are 111 property interests, in total.

42. 106 property interests have been acquired by agreement with the property owner.

43. 4 property interests were acquired by proclamation, under S26 of the Public Works Act. However, compensation still needs to be negotiated and settled for such properties. One of the four has settled, and one has been verbally agreed (the owners’ solicitor is reviewing a final agreement draft, subject to signing). One is in negotiation.

44. 1 property interest remains to be acquired, and this acquisition also incorporates the fourth property that was acquired by proclamation (two interests held by the same owner). AT has been advised that the agreement is held in escrow with the owner’s solicitor, pending final negotiation on the Section 66 (auxiliary) cost claim, which work is currently under action.

FLANSHAW ROAD CYCLING ISSUES

45. The Local Board Transport Lead has raised concerns with Auckland Transport about the safety concerns on Flanshaw Road. The local primary school is requesting a designated side of the road for a delineated cycle lane.

Update

46. Auckland Transport is investigating this request and will report the outcome of this investigation back to the Local Board.

RATHGAR ROAD CYCLELANE UPDATE

47. The draft Scheme Assessment Report has been produced and the safety audit is completed. Public consultation and further design will commence subject to budget allocation to this project in this financial year.

Auckland Transport Quarterly Update to Local Boards

File No.: CP2015/07518

Executive Summary

The purpose of this report is to inform local boards about progress on activities undertaken by Auckland Transport (AT) in the three months January – March 2015 and planned activities anticipated to be undertaken in the next three months.

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a) Receives the Auckland Transport Quarterly Report.

Significant activities during the period under review

Investment and Development

1. SMART (formerly SWAMMCP)

Investigation into protecting a rail (rapid transit) corridor from Onehunga to the Auckland airport then connecting back to the main trunk line at Puhinui forming a rail loop. NZTA and AT have completed the design work on the Kirkbride Interchange, which is now future proofed for rail. Also the remaining SH20A corridor has been re-assessed for rail, taking into account the improvements that NZTA is proposing. Work is also continuing on updating the business case for the project.

PT Development

2. Otahuhu Bus Rail Interchange

Detailed design completion is expected in April/May 2015. Site pre-loading and rail platform enabling works are now underway. The signal box will be lifted off the rail platform during Queens Birthday Block of Line. Main works are due to commence in July 2015 and scheduled for completion in March 2016 (subject to funding availability). Go-live date for Interchange depends on the South Public Transport Operating Model Network roll-out; currently scheduled for May 2016.

3. Half Moon Bay Ferry Upgrade

The pontoon and gangway contract has been awarded for completion of fabrication by the end of June 2015. Design of the wharf is on-going in readiness for consent submission to council mid-May 2015.

4. City Rail Link

Enabling Works Package: Phase 1 Early Contractor involvement design service contracts 1 and 2 awarded. Construction is scheduled to commence early 2016.

Main Works: Construction is subject to funding availability in the new LTP yet to be adopted by Auckland Council (assumed to be 2018).

5. EMU Procurement

AT currently has a total of 51 three-car units in Auckland with 42 of these issued with provisional acceptance. Five six-car services are operating during Manukau peak times. Non-peak services have been operating between Britomart and Papakura and driver conversion trains are running out to Swanson on a regular basis.

PT Operations

6. Public Transport overall

There has been another big jump in the numbers using public transport in Auckland. Annual patronage now exceeds 78 million boardings, an increase of 10%. In March, there were 8.4 million boardings, a jump of more than 1 million on March 2014.

7. Rail Improvements

The big performer was rail which reached 13.4 million passenger trips for the year, an annual increase of 21%. March saw a monthly record high of 1.56 million train trips, an increase of 29% on March last year. The growth is put down to the enhanced travel experience and additional capacity provided by the new electric trains and greater service frequency introduced over recent years.

Auckland Transport is aiming to have a full electric network by the end of July, except for the link between Papakura and Pukekohe which will continue to use diesel trains. These will be refurbished over time to provide an enhanced experience. The electric trains will provide improved travel experience and more capacity on the Southern and Western Lines.

8. Bus Improvements

March was also a record-breaking month on the Northern Express, with patronage up almost 17% on the same month last year. The 12 month total reached 2.8 million. It was also a record for other bus services as patronage rose 8% to 56.6 million. Ferry numbers for the year totalled 5.4 million trips, up 5% on an annual basis.

Growth on bus services is attributed to increased services and frequency, improving travel times from new bus priority lanes and a significant improvement in service punctuality being achieved by bus operators through new timetables. Further service level increases and punctuality improvements are planned for later this year along with the introduction of double decker buses on a number of routes. New network designs will also be introduced from later this year.

Road Design and Development

9. Te Atatu Road Improvements

Road Corridor Improvement project on Te Atatu Rd from School Road/Edmonton Road intersection to SH16. Building consents have now been obtained. Three contractors been short-listed to submit a tender for the physical works. Construction is targeted to start in July 2015 with a view towards completion around January 2017.

10. Albany Highway

The Albany Highway North Upgrade is a 4km road widening of Albany Highway between Schnapper Rock Road and Albany Expressway. Construction is approximately 25% complete. The majority of the site is operating with a 30 km/hr speed limit, which results in a 2-3 minute delay to vehicles. Disruption to neighbouring land owners due to construction is well managed, with some positive feedback received regarding the construction team's approach to resolving issues.

11. Lincoln Road Improvements

The project involves widening Lincoln Road between Te Pai Place and Motorway Interchange to accommodate additional transit/bus lanes on both sides. A stakeholders workshop was conducted in March to discuss the best identified options for storm water treatment sites. At the same time a meeting was arranged with Parks and Planning to come-up with best layout for the road access for the properties between Daytona Reserve and Lincoln Road.

12. Mill Road Improvements

The Redoubt Road - Mill Road corridor provides an arterial road connection east of State High 1 between Manukau, Papakura and Drury and includes Murphys Road from Redoubt Road to Flatbush School Road. The Notice of Requirement has been notified for the northern section of this project and submissions close in May 2015. AT held public open days in mid-April.

13. Cycle Initiatives

An information day has been held to share design concepts for the second stage of the Beach Road walking and cycling project. Stage two will deliver a streetscape upgrade and continue the cycleway along Beach Road from the intersection with Mahuhu Crescent through to Britomart Place. Construction is expected to begin in February and be completed in July.

Services

14. Road Safety

A regional alcohol #Drunksense #Straightsense campaign was delivered. The programme targeted males aged 18-25 years. To reach the target audience, a combination of cinema advertisements, Facebook and social media activities were undertaken. Localised interventions including promotions of key messages was undertaken at Auckland Council Movies in the Park, NRL Auckland Nines, Kumeu A&P Show and Pasifika.

AT delivered a Red Light Running regional campaign supporting the installation of new red light cameras and locations in partnership with enforcement support by NZ Police.

15. Safer Communities and Schools Travelwise programme

Over 120 students from 25 secondary schools attended the regional Travelwise Secondary Schools Summit on 18 March 2015. The objective of this event was to introduce Travelwise leaders to the resources and skills they need to ‘get going’ on developing a successful Travelwise campaign for their school community. Students participated in an AT Metro public transport challenge, and worked in teams to develop and present a road safety campaign that they would deliver in their school.

In March 2015, 414 students and 77 Travelwise lead teachers attended four area-based Travelwise Primary student workshops. The workshops were an opportunity for students and teachers to share ideas and be motivated to further develop road safety activities and initiatives in their schools.

Since 1 July 2014, 79 new Walking School Buses have been established, exceeding the KPI by 43 new Walking School Buses.

The following schools received safety infrastructure over the last quarter to support the schools’ travel plan initiatives:

· Mayfield School

· Koru School

· Favona School

· Otahuhu Intermediate

· Otahuhu Primary School

· St. Josephs School

· Pakuranga College

16. Travel Demand

Auckland Council and AT have jointly developed a business action plan for the Auckland Council Travel Plan. The travel plan was approved for implementation by the Executive team at the end of January. The travel plan is currently in the process of being approved by PSA delegates before it goes out for staff consultation. Auckland Council also celebrated ‘Go By Bike Day’ with Cycle Information Sessions at the main centres. The sessions included route planning advice for cyclists, safety tips and distribution of resources.

17. Walk 2 Work Day

National ‘Walk2Work Day’ was held on Wednesday 11 March. AT supported the day with a regional radio campaign, a dedicated web page and an online photo competition. On the day, AT organised the ZM Black Thunder radio station vehicles to engage with people walking near Victoria Park and on Karangahape Road. AT also worked with Living Streets Aotearoa to engage with people walking to work or to public transport at Devonport Wharf, and the Sunnynook and Smales Farm bus stations.

Road Corridor Delivery

18. Overview

The Road Corridor Group is tasked with the responsibility for a wide range of activities within the Road Corridor. These include but are not limited to:

· The Delivery of roading and streetlight maintenance and renewal programmes

· Managing the access, co-ordination and traffic management impacts of activities taking place within the road corridor

· Promote design innovation and efficiency around how work is carried out on the network

· The development of long term asset management plans and modelling which support the decision making process around the management of our roading assets.

19. January – March Quarter key highlights

The Road Corridor Delivery Team have a Year to date (YTD) target to deliver 580.9 km of resurfacing or pavement and footpath renewals. Sealed roads require periodic resurfacing to keep the sealed surface waterproof with good skid resistance. Roads are resurfaced using either an asphalt or chipseal coating. Pavement rehabilitation is undertaken when the road pavement reaches the end of its service life and is either too rough, or expensive, to maintain. New pavements are designed with a life expectancy of 25 years.

As outlined in figure 1, to date AT has delivered 489.5km or 85% of the YTD programme and is on track to complete the full programme by the end of the financial year in June.

Figure 1: Actual vs planned lengths (km) for February YTD

Renewal Activity	Full Year Target (km)	Completed length at end of March (km)	Completion v. Full Year Target (%)
Pavements	36.4	24.3	67
Resurfacing	428.2	380.6	89
Footpaths	116.4	84.6	73
Total	580.9	489.5	85

The renewal forward work programme for 2015/2016 will be published at the end of April. This will identify the planned renewal works for roads, footpaths, structures and public transport.

The streetlight tender process for the procurement of five contracts is well underway. These contracts will commence on 1 July 2015 and coincide with a programme to replace 40,000 x 70w luminaires currently on the network with Light Emitting Diodes. This is a five-year renewal programme aimed initially at residential streets. A priority matrix will be developed for other key areas such as town centres. The use of LEDs not only reduces electricity consumption by 50-60% but also plays a part in producing a clearer white light which helps in the overall effort to improve road safety.

To date the management of the 6,885km footpath network has been subjected to the policies of the legacy councils and, as a result, has created inconsistencies across the region in standards and practice. In response a regional footpath renewal strategy is now being developed. The aim is to achieve a consistent and coherent approach to the renewal and maintenance of AT’s footpath assets. The approach will also align with level of service requirements whilst taking into account key factors such as affordability and value for money for the ratepayers of Auckland.

First Alternative	Raumati Place	Raumati – (Summer, the Goddess/personification of which is Hineraumati)
Second Alternative	George Place	Name of one of the Developers Directors

Decision Making

10. The Auckland Council, by way of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (2012-2022), allocated the responsibility for the naming of new roads, pursuant to Section 319(1)9j) of the Local Government Act 1974, to Local Boards.

Assessment

11. The Applicant’s proposed names have been assessed against the criteria set out in the Auckland Council road naming guidelines:

12. Stella Rise , Raumati Place and George Place all meet the criteria set out in the Road Naming Guidelines.

13. As the Applicant’s preferred name (Stella Rise) meets the criteria, it is recommended for consideration for approval while noting that the names proposed by the Iwi (Raumati Place and George Place) are also appropriate as they comply with all the criteria of the road naming guidelines.

Consideration

Significance of Decision

14. The decision sought from the Henderson-Massey Local Board for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the community.

Maori Impact Statement

15. The decision sought from the Henderson-Massey Local Board on this report is linked to the Auckland Plan Outcome, “A Maori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the World”. The use of Maori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Maori identity.

Consultation

16. Consultation with Edward Ashby of the Te Kawerau Iwi Tribal Authority was undertaken by the Applicant and it was agreed that the names Stella Rise and Raumati Place could be used.

17. Consultation with NZ Post was undertaken by the Applicant and the suggested names were accepted.

18. The cost of processing the approval of the proposed new road name and any installation of road name signage is recoverable in accordance with Council’s Administrative Charges.

Legal and Legislative implications

19. The decision sought from the Henderson-Massey Local Board for this report is not considered to have any legal or legislative implications.

Implementation

20. The Resource Consenting Team is involved in ensuring that the appropriate road name signage will be installed accordingly once an approval is obtained for the new road name.

Developing the Empowered Communities Approach

File No.: CP2015/04953

Purpose

1. This report provides an overview of the Empowered Communities Approach (ECA), including local board involvement in developing the approach.

Executive Summary

2. The Mayor’s Proposal for the Long Term Plan 2015-2025 (LTP) includes developing a more empowered community approach to the work of Auckland Council. The proposed changes are:

· to transition delivery to a more empowered community approach.

· to move away from direct delivery (and therefore save overheads) and fund community groups to deliver more.

· for local boards to play a much more active role by allocating more funding through them.

3. The purpose of the Empowered Communities Approach (ECA) is to develop a new, more effective and empowering approach to the way council delivers services and supports community activities. The ECA will establish a new operating model for the Community Development and Safety (CDS) unit which will shift its service delivery to have a greater focus on local and community empowerment, with a view to embedding this way of working across council departments and council- controlled organisations.

4. A reduction in the cost to deliver community development over time is expected, starting with savings in the 2015/2016 financial year.

5. A political advisory group (PAG) has been established to provide strategic advice and guidance as staff develop the ECA. Discussion has centred on what empowered communities look like, and what shifts are required within council to support them. The PAG meeting in March endorsed the proposed approach. PAG feedback included the importance of meeting local needs, rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Two further PAG meetings will be held on 16 April and 4 May.

6. An engagement programme with local boards is underway. Key steps in this are:

· two chairs and portfolio holder workshops.

· individual board workshops in April.

· a report to local board business meetings in May/ early June.

The final empowered communities approach and the CDS operational model will be reported to the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee for endorsement in June 2015, for implementation in July-December.

7. A targeted programme of community engagement is underway.

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a) Provides feedback on the Empowered Communities approach.

Comments

Background

8. The Mayor’s Proposal for the Long Term Plan 2015-2025 (LTP) includes developing a more empowered community approach to the work of Auckland Council. The proposed changes to the community development function are:

· to transition delivery to a more empowered community approach.

· to move away from direct delivery (and therefore save overheads) and fund community groups to deliver more.

· for local boards to play a much more active role by allocating more funding through them.

9. The purpose of the Empowered Communities Approach (ECA) is to develop a new, more effective and empowering approach to the way council delivers services and supports community activities. The ECAP will establish a new operating model for the Community Development and Safety (CDS) unit which will shift its service delivery to have a greater focus on local and community empowerment, with a view to embedding this way of working across the council family.

10. A reduction in the cost to deliver community development over time is expected, starting with savings in the 2015/2016 financial year.

11. A political advisory group (PAG) has been established to provide strategic advice and guidance as staff develop the empowered communities approach. Discussion has centred on what empowered communities look like, and what shifts are required within council to support them.

Political Advisory Group

12. A Political Advisory Group (PAG) has been established to provide strategic advice and guidance to staff during the development of the empowered communities approach. Membership of the PAG includes the Mayor, six local board members (Andrew Baker, Efeso Collins, Vanessa Neeson, Peter Haynes, Julia Parfitt), five governing body members (Cathy Casey, Linda Cooper, George Wood, Alf Filipaina, Penny Hulse) and a representative from the Independent Māori Statutory Board (Karen Wilson).

13. At their meeting on 6 March 2015 the PAG endorsed the proposed approach. The key points discussed were:

· ‘Empowered Communities: Enabling Council’: The approach is underpinned by a two-way relationship between council and the community; leading to improved outcomes for Auckland.

· Describing empowered communities: an empowered community is one where individuals, whanau and communities have the power and ability to influence decisions, take action and make change happen in their lives and communities. This includes communities of place, interest and identity.

· How to support community empowerment: community empowerment is about providing real opportunities for people to participate and fostering the conditions that support this. An empowered communities approach is a ‘way of working’ that empowers people to play a more active role in the decisions that affect their communities.

14. Working in a way that empowers communities requires ‘whole of council’ shifts to:

· provide a gateway / portal into council resources and information.

· provide more support for local boards and other areas of council to work together in joined-up ways with local communities.

· facilitate and embed the empowered communities approach across council.

· develop and implement creative new engagement and participation practices.

· support the devolution of resources / functions / control to communities.

15. Other key feedback from the PAG included:

· the model should involve high trust between council and the community and be based on building good relationships.

· the path Māori have been on provides an example for the ECA, which should draw from the Māori Responsiveness Framework.

· one size does not fit all and the model may look different across different activities of council and in different communities, reflecting the make-up of those communities and their capability and capacity.

· all parts of council need to work collaboratively to make this work. This should include the council-controlled organisations (CCOs).

· capacity building is important and there need to be examples of how to do this effectively.

· recognition that embedding this approach will take time.

16. Staff will report back to the PAG on 16 April with the following:

· revised approach.

· the proposed operating model for the CDS unit.

· supporting tools.

· budget and implementation implications.

ECA timeline

17. The key milestones are shown in the table below.

Stage	Date	Purpose
Local board business meetings	15-23 April	Context setting report
Political Advisory Group	16 April	Provide strategic advice on revised approach and proposed CDS model of operation
Chairs and portfolio holders workshop	20 April	Wider discussion of material presented at PAG
Local board workshops	21 April – 1 May	Discussion by individual boards
Political Advisory Group	4 May	Provide strategic advice on revised CDS model of operation
Local board business meetings	5 May – 3 June	Formal resolutions on proposal
Budget Committee	7-8 May	LTP budget decisions including CDS budget for 2015/2016
Regional Strategy and Policy Committee	4 June	Endorse ECA and the CDS operational model
Implementation	July - December

18. For some local boards, the timing of the May-June local board business meetings may require the local board to either delegate, hold an extraordinary meeting or accept a late report so that the board can provide formal feedback during the period 5 May – 3 June.

Consultation and engagement

19. Engagement with community stakeholders is ongoing, with initial feedback workshops held in March across the region. At the workshops, staff explored with participants what capabilities and ideas for empowering communities, equity issues and activities the community see themselves as best delivering. Engagement was sought on what is best kept as council core functions in relation to community development and safety.

20. Internal staff consultation is ongoing as the approach is developed. A number of workshops have been held with staff from all departments in the operations division in the first instance.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

21. The empowered community approach aims to provide a much more active role for local boards in community development.

22. ECA builds on the strong focus on community led planning and development in the Local Board Plans 2014.

23. Local boards views will be sought through the process outlined above.

Māori impact statement

24. The ECAP has the potential to impact on Māori over time. Engagement with mataawaka and mana whenua will be undertaken during the engagement phase to enable staff to understand potential impacts.

25. A representative from the Independent Māori Statutory Board sits on the PAG.

Implementation

26. The model will be implemented in CDS in 2015/2016. The approach will be rolled out across the whole of council over time.

Henderson-Massey Local Board

Review of alcohol bans 2015

File No.: CP2015/04263

Purpose

1. To adopt a proposal on the review of alcohol bans in the Henderson-Massey Local Board area.

Executive Summary

2. The Henderson-Massey Local Board has the delegated responsibility to review all 25 existing local alcohol bans in its local board area by 31 October 2015.

3. The purpose of the review is to identify which existing local alcohol bans meet the new higher statutory threshold to enable them to be retained. Alcohol bans that do not meet the threshold will lapse on 31 October 2015.

4. As part of the review, the local board may choose to use a public submission process in order to get a fuller understanding of the impact of alcohol use in the current alcohol ban areas.

5. To assist the local board, staff have undertaken an analysis of legacy council information and recent police data. This information has been presented at local board workshops in early 2015. During these workshops the local board also expressed a preference for using a public submission process to complete the review.

6. Staff recommend to:

· use a public submission process to complete the review and to adopt a proposal to facilitate this (Attachment C)

· propose to retain 19 existing alcohol bans

· propose to lapse six existing alcohol bans unless sufficient evidence is provided through the public submission process.

7. Staff will update the proposal as necessary to reflect the decisions by the local board.

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a) Confirm the use of a public submission process to complete the review of alcohol bans in the local board area.

b) Adopt the proposal titled “Proposal Review of Alcohol Bans – Henderson-Massey Local Board May 2015” in Attachment C for the purposes of the public submission process.

c) Confirm that the proposal contained in Attachment C is in accordance with relevant requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 and Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014.

d) Authorise the Manager Social Policy and Bylaws to make any minor edits or amendments to the Proposal to correct any identified errors or typographical edits.

e) Authorise the Manager Social Policy and Bylaws, in consultation with the local board chair, to make any amendments to the Proposal to reflect decisions made by the local board.

f) Appoints [insert name] (as chair), [insert at least two more board members names] as a panel to receive, hear and deliberate on submissions and other relevant information and recommend changes to the Board.

g) Delegates to the Chairperson the ability to make changes to the panel appointed under (e) where this becomes necessary because of the withdrawal or unavailability of any of those persons.

Background

8. Alcohol bans are an accepted and effective way of helping to reduce alcohol related harm. They limit the amount of alcohol consumed in public places. This helps reduce harm including levels of intoxication, noise, litter, harm and disorder.

9. Recent amendments to legislation to require a review of existing alcohol bans against the new higher threshold is intended to ensure that alcohol bans are only retained in areas of high alcohol related crime or disorder.

10. Alcohol bans are made under the Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014. Alcohol bans prohibit the consumption of alcohol in public places and are enforced by the New Zealand Police using powers of search, seizure, and arrest. Penalties include an infringement fee of $250.

11. Local boards have the delegated responsibility to review existing local alcohol bans in their local board areas by 31 October 2015. This does not include a review of existing alcohol bans in areas of regional significance which is the responsibility of the Regulatory and Bylaws Committee, nor consideration of new alcohol bans which will be subject to a separate process to commence after 31 October 2015.

12. Since the commencement of the review in November 2014, the local board at workshops has been presented with the statutory decision making requirements, review process options, legacy council information, and recent police data.

13. The local board has expressed a preference to use a public submission process to complete the review. This process requires:

· the local board to adopt a proposal by May 2015 (Attachment C)

· the proposal (together with proposals from other local boards) will be publicly notified in June 2015

· the local board to hold hearings, deliberations and make decisions on submissions by August 2015

· any alcohol ban not deemed to meet the statutory evidence test will lapse on 31 October 2015.

14. The public submission process is specifically designed to obtain evidence of alcohol-related crime or disorder from the public for those alcohol bans where legacy council information or police data is limited. The decision required of the local board is to decide which existing alcohol bans to propose to retain and which to propose to lapse unless sufficient evidence is provided through the public submission process.

Decision-making requirements

15. In making decisions, the local board must be satisfied that any existing alcohol bans proposed to be retained comply with a range of statutory and bylaw requirements.

16. Changes to the Local Government Act 2002 introduced a higher threshold to be met to allow an existing alcohol ban to be retained. Alcohol bans that do not meet the higher threshold will lapse on 31 October 2015.

17. The most important requirements as outlined in the bylaw are:

· evidence that the alcohol ban area has experienced a high level of crime or disorder that can be shown to have been caused or made worse by alcohol consumption in the area

· that the alcohol ban is appropriate and proportionate in the light of the evidence and can be justified as a reasonable limitation on people's rights and freedoms

· consideration of community-focused solutions as an alternative to or to complement an alcohol ban area

· consideration of the views of owners, occupiers, or persons that council has reason to believe are representative of the interests of owners or occupiers, of premises within the area to which the alcohol ban will apply

· consideration to using one of the following times for consistency:

§ 24 hours, 7 days a week (at all times alcohol ban);

§ 7pm to 7am daily (evening alcohol ban)

§ 10pm to 7pm daylight saving and 7pm to 7am outside daylight saving (night time alcohol ban)

§ 7pm on the day before to 7am on the day after any weekend, public holiday or Christmas/New Year holiday period (weekend and holiday alcohol ban).

18. Further detail of the decision-making requirements is appended to the proposal in Attachment C.

Comment

Current local alcohol bans

19. There are currently 25 alcohol bans in the Henderson-Massey Local Board area summarised in the table below. These have been independently assessed and evidence is included in Attachments A and B.

Type of alcohol ban area (number)	Alcohol ban time
Town centre (3)	24 hours, 7 days a week
Park, beach and foreshore reserve (3)	24 hours, 7 days a week
Park, beach and foreshore reserve (19)	7pm – 7am

Evidence

20. Evidence of alcohol-related crime or disorder has been obtained from legacy council files, and data from the New Zealand Police for the period 1 September 2013 – 30 September 2014 has also been supplied.

21. Other sources of Auckland-wide alcohol-related crime or disorder information were investigated but did not provide evidence able to be linked to particular alcohol bans. Other sources included service request data lodged through the council call centre, graffiti and Ambulance and Emergency Service data.

22. Evidence may also be gathered through a public submission process. Documented evidence may be provided by way of:

· a written account of incidents of alcohol-related crime or disorder people have witnessed prior to, after, or recently in relation to a particular alcohol ban having been introduced

· historical media articles.

Options

23. For each of these areas, the local board has two options. To retain the alcohol ban (with or without amendments to areas or times) or to allow the ban to lapse.

24. In terms of which alcohol bans to retain or lapse, the local board can review the summary of evidence provided for individual alcohol bans in Attachments A and B and choose to:

· confirm the list of alcohol bans proposed to be retained (Attachment A)

· confirm the list of alcohol bans proposed to lapse (Attachment B)

· identify any changes to the list of alcohol bans to be retained (Attachment A)

· identify any changes to the list of alcohol bans to lapse (Attachment B).

25. It is important to note that the statutory requirements of this review means the retention of alcohol bans must be determined on evidence of high levels of alcohol-related crime or disorder.

Recommendation

26. Staff recommend:

· the use of a public submission process to complete the review and to adopt the “Proposal Review of Alcohol Bans – Henderson-Massey Local Board May 2015” to facilitate this (Attachment C)

· retain the following 19 existing alcohol bans:

o Bruce McLaren Memorial Park

o Central Park

o Chapman Strand

o Harbourview Reserve

o Helena Park

o Henderson Park including Vintage Reserve, Corban Estate Esplanade, Rotary Park, Cranwell Esplanade and Opanuku Reserve

o Henderson Valley Park

o Henderson Town Centre

o Manutewhau Reserve

o Moire Park

o Paremuka Lakeside Reserve

o Ranui Domain

o Starling Park

o Taipari Strand

o Te Atatu Town Centre

o Te Pai Park

o Te Rangi Hiroa Reserve including Birdwood Winery, Birdwood Depot

o Triangle Park

o Westgate Town Centre

· allow the remaining six alcohol bans to lapse unless sufficient evidence is provided through a public submission process to justify their retention Attachment B).

27. The reasons for this recommendation are:

· there is sufficient evidence of a high level of alcohol-related crime or disorder to retain six existing alcohol bans

· the alcohol bans retained are appropriate, proportionate, and reasonable

· the hours of alcohol bans retained are aligned to those contained in the bylaw

· the public submission process provides an effective and efficient way to obtain further evidence (in a useable format) to support decision making.

Next steps

28. The proposal (together with proposals from other local boards) will be publicly notified in June 2015.

29. Staff will update the proposal as necessary to reflect the decisions by the local board.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

30. Since the commencement of the review in November 2014, the local board at workshops has been presented with the statutory decision making requirements, review process options, legacy council information, and recent police data.

Māori impact statement

31. Managing alcohol related harm associated with people consuming alcohol in public places increases opportunities for health and wellbeing, which is consistent with the outcomes of the Māori Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau.

32. Feedback from mana whenua representatives at a hui held in March 2015 supported alcohol bans in principle, and believe that non-regulatory approaches should be considered to help reduce alcohol related harm.

Implementation

33. There are no implementation issues associated with this decision to adopt a proposal.
