Whau Local Board Chairperson - Catherine Farmer's report

 

File No.: CP2015/08946

 

  

 

 

Rates Increases

1.         During the last few months we have been working on long term plan discussions and the Mayor has provided direction on how to improve Auckland’s traffic congestion. Since the proposal to introduce motorway tolls, or a regional fuel tax were not supported by central government a transport levy was put up as an alternative which could be immediately applied. It is $114 for households and $183 for businesses.

2.         The average rates rise is 9.9%, however Whau is well over that at 15.7%, with only two other boards higher at 16%. The rates rise was decided at the Auckland Council Budget Committee earlier this month.

 

Empowering Communities

3.         There is an initiative by the Auckland Council to employ brokers to work more directly with community groups.  The driver for this is a saving $1.6 million dollars in staffing overheads. This will bring change in how we connect with our communities and the policy development is being worked through.

 

Anzac Day Ceremonies

4.         On April 25th Anzac Day there were several parades in Whau.  I attended the March and ceremony at the New Lynn RSA and there was a much larger attendance than in previous years. Celebrating 100 years since the First World War saw many people attending the Cenotaph Dawn Service as well.

 

Toi Te Uku Opening

5.         The Portage Ceramics Trust officially opened their premises at 8 Ambrico Place, New Lynn to the public on Saturday 2nd May.  The building houses the Richard Quinn Crown Lynn Pottery collection and is the culmination of a ten year process to house it in one place.

RESPONSES AND PROGRESS REPORTS

 

WEST LYNN ROAD, TITIRANGI - PROPOSED NO STOPPING AT ALL TIMES (NSAAT) RESTRICTION

5.       Auckland Transport has received expressions of concern regarding the safety and operation of West Lynn Road in the vicinity of the West Lynn Road/Titirangi Road intersection.

6.       Site observations indicate that vehicles currently park on the southern side of West Lynn Road in the vicinity of Titirangi Road. This restricts traffic on West Lynn Road into a single lane as they approach this busy intersection and causes operational issues at this location, particularly during peak periods. In addition the majority of the vehicles approaching the intersection were observed to be crossing the centreline to pass the parked vehicles. This is considered a safety issue as it has the potential to cause crashes between vehicles approaching the intersection on West Lynn Road and vehicles turning into West Lynn Road from Titirangi Road.

 

7.       Therefore to help improve the operation and safety of the intersection of West Lynn Road and Titirangi Road, a NSAAT restriction is proposed at the location indicated on the attached aerial photograph.

 

Response from the Local Board

8.       The Local Board Transport Portfolio holders are happy with the proposal.

 

 

MINOR SAFETY IMPROVEMENT WORKS – RAISED TABLES ON ST JUDE STREET AND GREAT NORTH ROAD

9.       As part of Auckland Transport’s commitment to improve road safety and reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on the road network, St Jude Street and Great North Road roundabout was identified as a high risk intersection. There were 58 reported crashes (Injury Accident equal: 1 serious and 9 minor) at the intersection between 2009 and 2013. The majority of crashes were related to vehicles failing to give way on either St Jude Street or Great North Road approaches. It is also noted that four crashes were pedestrian related, with two occurring at the zebra crossing on St Jude Street.

10.     Auckland Transport has investigated the intersection and considers it appropriate to install speed tables at the existing zebra crossings on St Jude Street and Great North Road. The objective of the proposal is to slow down the speed of vehicles approaching and/or leaving the roundabout on these roads as well as provide a safer zebra crossing facility for pedestrians.

11.     Details of the proposed works are shown on the enclosed layout plans.

 

Response from the Local Board

12.     The Local Board Transport Portfolio holders are happy with the proposal.

 

 

TIVERTON-WOLVERTON ALTERNATIVE CYCLE ROUTE - MULGAN ST IMPROVEMENTS

13.     As part of the Wolverton-Tiverton Alternative Cycle Route, some changes have been proposed for Mulgan Street – at the intersection of Whitney, Mulgan and Margate, and a little further down the road at the intersection of Margate and Mary Dreaver Street.

14.     Details of the proposed works are shown on the enclosed layout plans.

 

Response from the Local Board

15.     The Local Board Transport Portfolio holders are happy with the proposal.

 

 

ENCROACHMENTS ON LAND OWNED BY AUCKLAND TRANSPORT - THE WHAU BRIDGE ON GREAT NORTH ROAD

16.     A request for Auckland Transport to investigate the encroachments.

 

Response

17.     At the Board’s request, Parks – West, have investigated the possibility of planting in the area of the encroachment. . The Local Board Parks Portfolio Representatives have considered the options and propose delaying consideration of the encroachment issue, pending installation of the bridge sign project and the planning for the Coastal walkway.  Local Board Services will be working with Auckland Transport in drafting a letter to the landowner updating him on the situation.

 


GREAT NORTH ROAD AND SABULITE ROAD CAR PARKING ISSUES

18.     A request has been received from the Local Board for Auckland Transport to look at the cars parked on road reserve on the corner of Great North Road and Sabulite Road.

 

Update

19.     Auckland Transport apologies for the delay in responding to this request.  Auckland Transport is seeking legal advice on this matter due to a decision made by the legacy Waitakere City Council to allow the sale yard to park cars on the road reserve. . Once legal advice is obtained Auckland Transport will report back to the Local Board on what action AT is able to take, to allow the Local Board to consider options on enhancing this area.

 

 

ST GEORGE STREET, ST JUDE ROAD & GREAT NORTH ROAD AVONDALE ROUNDABOUT TO A SIGNALISED INTERSECTION

20.      A request from the Local Board Transport Lead to look at converting the St George Street, St Jude Road and Great North Road Avondale roundabout into a signalised intersection.

 

Response

21.     Auckland Transport investigation has found that converting this intersection from a roundabout to a signalised intersection will require closing one of the legs, and require significant cost for this upgrade.

22.     The cost-benefit analysis of signalising this intersection is not favourable, as Great North Road does not experience significant delays due to having to give way to other approaches. Rather the delays experienced are due to the high traffic demand city-bound and west-bound and due to the railway line on St Jude Street. AT has not observed any major congestion issues at the roundabout during off-peak hours however the demand exists on the main arterial, Great North Road.

23.     Auckland Transport has added the potential signalisation of this roundabout onto it’s Signals Programme, however due to the reasons above and the significant costs, the priority of this intersection is low and unlikely to go ahead, when compared to other intersections with more serious safety issues, waiting for funding for signalisation.

 

DANGEROUS INTERSECTION CROYDON/TITIRANGI ROADS

24.     Auckland Transport is investigating this intersection with a view to proposing a solution that will improve the safety and efficiency of the intersection. Auckland Transport hopes to complete this investigation in the next 4 monthsUpdates will be provided when there are options available.

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

 

EMU Procurement

7.       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

Public Transport overall

8.       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.

 

Rail Improvements

9.       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.

10.     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.

 

Bus Improvements

11.     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.

12.     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

Te Atatu Road Improvements

13.     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.

Albany Highway

14.     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.

 

Lincoln Road Improvements

15.     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.

 

Mill Road Improvements

16.     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.

 

Cycle Initiatives

17.     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

Road Safety

18.     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.

19.     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.

 

Safer Communities and Schools Travelwise programme

20.     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.

21.     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.

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

23.     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

 

Travel Demand

24.     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.

 

Walk 2 Work Day

25.     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

Overview

26.     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.

 

January – March Quarter key highlights

27.     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.

28.     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.

29.     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.

30.     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.

31.     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.

Auckland Council Property Limited Local Board Six-Monthly Update 1 July to 31 December 2014

 

File No.: CP2015/08519

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       To give the Whau Local Board an overview of Auckland Council Property Limited’s (ACPL) activities for the six months 1 July to 31 December 2014.

Executive Summary

2.       ACPL’s vision centres on “creating value from property assets” by providing commercial expertise and value for money to Auckland Council in managing its property portfolio, and acquisition and disposal activities.  The concept of “value” includes but is not limited to financial value. In addition to financial value, a growing aspect of ACPL’s work has been to use surplus council property to help achieve the council’s housing supply and urban regeneration objectives. We will also identify opportunities to add value by improving the use of council service property such as redevelopment of under-utilised sites.

3.       This report sets out a summary of ACPL activities for the past six months that contribute to our seven key outcomes as outlined in our Statement of Intent (SOI) 2014 to 2017 and noted below. Activity detail is broken down by business unit or work-stream, with a focus on local board specific activities where applicable.

4.       ACPL’s seven key outcomes:

§   Properties managed for the council and Auckland Transport (AT) are maintained to be fit for purpose and achieve optimum net returns.

§   Redevelopment/regeneration projects involving other sector partners are efficiently planned and managed to help achieve a quality compact Auckland.

§   ACPL contributes exemplar housing developments to increase the supply of housing in Auckland, particularly in the more affordable spectrum of the market, working with partners.

§   Council business interests are managed to protect long term value and achieve budgeted net income. 

§   Property acquisitions are undertaken in a commercially robust manner and in accordance with the council and AT agreed requirements and relevant legislation.

§   Properties are disposed of for the council in a commercially robust manner once declared surplus.

§   The council is provided with a commercial perspective on planning and development initiatives to support effective implementation of those initiatives.

5.       Local board specific supporting detail is included in Attachments A, B, and C.

 

Recommendation

That the Whau Local Board:

a)      Receives the Auckland Council Property Limited Local Board Six-Monthly update 1           July to 31 December 2014.

 

 

Comments

Workshops and Meetings

6.       A schedule of Whau Local Board workshops and meetings attended by ACPL representatives from July to December is included as Attachment A. The list includes property specific meetings and workshops relating to general property management and the ongoing portfolio Rationalisation Process.

Property Portfolio Management

7.       ACPL manages property owned by the council and AT that are not currently required for service or infrastructure purposes. These are properties that are not immediately required for service delivery or infrastructure development but are being held for use in a planned future project such as road construction/widening or the expansion of parks.

8.       The property portfolio continued to grow during the last six months and now totals 1306 properties, an increase of 121 since our January-June 2014 update. The current property portfolio includes industrial sites and buildings, retail tenancies, cafés, restaurants, offices and a substantial portfolio of residential properties.

9.       ACPL’s specialist property knowledge and understanding enables us to optimise revenue streams and identify future opportunities.  ACPL’s return on the property portfolio for the six months ending 31 December 2014 provides the shareholder a net surplus of $2.9m ahead of budget, with an actual surplus of $11.8m against budget of $23m. The average monthly vacancy rate for the period is 1.68% which is under the SOI targets of 5%.

10.     A Properties Managed schedule is included as Attachment B of this report. The schedule details:

§   Current ACPL-managed commercial and residential property within the Whau Local Board

§   Each property’s classification or reason for retention

§   The nature of the property, such as a café within a library, or a residential property with a tenancy in place

§   The budget under which operating expenditure and lease revenue for the property is reported eg regional or local board.

11.     A report indicating portfolio movement in the local board area is attached as Attachment C. The report details all new acquisitions including the reason for acquisition, any transfers and the reason for transfer, and any disposals.

Portfolio Review and Rationalisation

Overview

12.     ACPL is required to undertake ongoing rationalisation of the council’s non-service assets. This includes identifying properties from within council’s portfolio that may be suitable for potential sale and development if appropriate. ACPL has a particular focus on achieving housing outcomes. Identifying potential sale properties contributes to the Auckland Plan focus of accommodating the significant growth projected for the region over the coming decades, by providing the council with an efficient use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities and projects.

Redevelopment/Regeneration and Housing Supply Initiatives

Overview  

16.     ACPL is contributing commercial input into approximately 54 region wide council-driven regeneration and housing supply initiatives. Involvement extends from provision of initial feasibility advice through to implementation, with projects ranging in size from $415k to in excess of $100million. ACPL works closely with the local boards on ACPL-led developments to ensure we give effect to the local boards’ place-shaping role.

17.     ACPL is working with the wider council group to formulate a process or approach for identifying and realising optimisation opportunities that exist for service assets. This will provide opportunities to work with local boards on development opportunities that deliver wider strategic benefit consistent with the Auckland plan such as intensification, town centre regeneration and affordable housing. It will also improve service outcomes through obtaining more effective use of property assets.

18.     ACPL is also actively contributing to the Housing Strategy Action Plan, which is a council initiative focusing on non-regulatory efforts to encourage and increase affordable residential development. We have an SOI target to undertake five housing development projects over three years that will improve housing affordability and the supply of affordable housing encompassing CHO involvement. We are currently actively working on 13 such projects.

Local Activities

19.     New Lynn Infratil Joint Development: The residential tower is complete. Progression with potential retain tenants to increase uptake is underway. 

20.     Racecourse Parade: This 3,500sqm site has been identified as holding development potential for housing outcomes. The properties were cleared for sale and development by the Governing Body in April 2014.  The site is registered as an SHA (Special Housing Area).

21.     A master plan was undertaken by ACPL that included 24-26 Racecourse Parade, and adjoining properties, which showed how mixed use development with more intensive housing could be delivered to help initiate and support the regeneration of the Avondale town centre.

22.     24 and 26 Racecourse Parade has the potential to deliver at least 15 new homes over four years. The development will also provide a mix of housing types, matched to current shortages and has the potential to include one, two or three-bedroom units. The development adjoins Avondale Central Reserve and overlooks the Avondale race course.

23.     The land is zoned Town Centre under the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan. It is subject to a precinct overlay identified as Avondale 2 sub-precinct B. ACPL will give developers guidance to ensure the development delivers within the criteria set by Housing Areas and Special Housing Areas Act.

24.     Clearing of the land has been delayed and therefore reference design will be completed by mid-2015 and will inform prospective developers of Council's desired outcomes and provide the basis of a development agreement.

25.     1 Trent Street, Avondale: This is a residential site capable of holding around 34 housing units. The site was designated as a Special Housing Area (SHA) in October 2013. The outcome sought is a good quality mixed tenure housing development on the site. A Sale and Purchase agreement has been agreed with NZ Housing Foundation for development of approximately 34 affordable homes.

26.     12-22 Totara Avenue, New Lynn: The property was purchased to help facilitate the regeneration of New Lynn and is in the next stage in development. Property was amended from Auckland Transport to Auckland Council. Rationalisation process commenced in June 2014.  No alternative service uses were identified.  Governing body approved disposal and development of site in December 2014.


Acquisitions

Overview  

27.     ACPL continues to support council and AT programmes and projects by negotiating required property acquisitions. All such acquisitions are funded through approved council or AT budgets. We also provide advice to assist with budgets, business cases and strategy to support an acquisition.

28.     From the commencement of the 2015 financial year, 1 July 2014 to 31 January 2015, 73 property purchases were completed for the council and AT to the value of $56m. All of the property acquisitions met independent valuation thresholds agreed with AT, the council and Public Works Act 1981 requirements. 

 

Council Acquisitions

29.     Over the past six months 15 properties were acquired to meet council open space and storm water requirements and to contribute to City Transformation projects. These included the following acquisitions in or neighbouring the Whau Local Board area.

The focus was on acquisitions to support major transport projects including AMETI (17 acquisitions) City Rail Link Property Acquisition (23 acquisitions) and Northern Strategic Growth Area (4 acquisitions). Full details of relevant AT projects and associated acquisitions will come to the local board directly from AT.

Business Interests

31.     ACPL also optimises the commercial return from assets it manages on council’s behalf. This comprises two forestry enterprises, two landfills and four quarries. There are currently no ACPL managed business interests in the Whau Local Board area.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

32.     This report is for the Whau Local Board’s information.

Māori impact statement

33.     Whatungarongaro te tangata, toitū te whenua. The importance of effective communication and engagement with Māori on the subject of land is understood.  ACPL has accordingly developed robust engagement with the 19 mana whenua groups for our core business activities.

34.     Key engagement activities include: identifying cultural significance concerns regarding disposal properties, flagging commercial interests, development partnering discussions and issues relating to property management such as protection of wāhi tapu or joint management arising from the resolution of Treaty Settlements. ACPL also engages with relevant mana whenua in respect of development outcomes for ACPL lead projects where appropriate. ACPL will advise the Whau Local Board as appropriate of any discussions that arise in the local board’s area.

35.     ACPL undertook to be part of council’s Māori Responsiveness Plan (MRP) pilot programme. The project’s key output is an operational document outlining ACPL’s contribution to council’s strategic and operational commitments to Māori. The MRP was finalised and approved by the ACPL Board in December 2014 and the focus will move to identifying priority areas for implementation. A copy of this is available on the ACPL website.

Implementation

36.     There are no implementation issues.

File No.: CP2015/08370

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Whau Local Board, for new road name for a Jointly Owned Access Lot (JOAL) created by way of Subdivision at 46, 48 St Leonards Road and 3 Kelkirk Street, Kelston.

Executive Summary

2.       Auckland Council has road naming guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming for the Auckland Council.

3.       Following assessment against the road naming criteria, the road names Tamatimu Lane, Kumanu Lane and Pakau Lane were determined to meet the road naming policy criteria.

4.       Local Iwi groups were consulted. Consultation with Pani Gleeson of Ngati Whatua Orakei and Edward Ashby of the Te Kawerau Iwi Tribal Authority were consulted but because high capacity of requests for naming projects Pani could not suggest any names. Edward also could not suggest any names but was supportive of Kumanu Lane and Pakau Lane.

5.       The name Tamatimu Lane, proposed by the Applicant and the names Kumanu Lane and Pakau Lane are recommended for approval to the Local Board.

 

Recommendation

That the Whau Local Board:

a)         Pursuant to Section 319(1)(j), of the Local Government Act 1974, considers for             approval, the road name Tamatimu Lane, proposed by the Applicant, for the new             road created by way of subdivision at 46, 48 St Leonards Road and 3 Kelkirk             Street, Kelston, while noting that Kumanu Lane and Pakau Lane also meet the road             naming criteria.

 

Comments

6.       The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allowed that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name for the Council’s approval.

7.       In 2013, Auckland Council approved an Application for a combined land use and subdivision consent to undertake a subdivision creating 11 residential allotments at 46, 48 St Leonards Road and Kelkirk Street, Kelston. The subdivision contains a Jointly Owned Access Lot (JOAL), which will provide road access to 6 residential allotments. The Consent holder has proposed to label the Jointly Owned Access Lot (JOAL) Tamatimu Lane (SUB2013-986).

8.       The Applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for the road created as part of the development at 46, 48 St Leonards Road and Kelkirk Street, Kelston.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

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

Māori impact statement

10.     The decision sought from the Whau 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.

Implementation

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

Comments

6.       In March 2014, the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee resolved to continue the interim community funding approach for the 2014/2015 financial year (REG/20014/36).This interim community funding approach remains in place until the implementation of the new Community Grants Policy on 1 July 2015.

7.       Through community grants, the local board recognises the vital role that community groups and organisations play in developing strong, sustainable communities. The Whau Local Board Community Discretionary Fund aims to assist groups to provide activities, projects, programmes, initiatives and events that make a positive contribution within the local board area.

8.       When reviewing applications, the local board should be guided by the following objectives of the fund (these are not eligibility criteria, rather they are guidelines to help the local board when considering the merits of each proposal):

·   the benefit of the proposal to the local area

·   the group’s role in the local area

·   the alignment of the proposal with the priorities of the boards; such as

o     young people

o     Maori

o     the environment

o     culture and arts

o     social cohesion

o     recreation and sport

o     heritage

9.       This fund is allocated at the local board’s discretion. In accordance with its fiduciary duties, the local board is to act honestly, avoid conflicts of interest and act in what the local board believes to be the best interests of the community.

10.     Two community funding rounds were scheduled for the 2014-15 financial year. The first round closed on 15 July 2014. The second round closed on 15 March 2015. The fund was advertised through local community networks, local publications and on the Auckland Council website.

11.     Thirty-two applications were received in this round, with a total requested of $185,967.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

12.     Local board feedback on the community funding applications was sought at a workshop with the Whau Local Board.

Māori impact statement

13.     Community funding is a general programme of interest and accessible to a wide range of groups, including Maori. Maori are therefore likely to benefit alongside other groups in the community.

Implementation

14.     The allocation of grants to community groups is within the adopted annual plan budget.

15.     Following the Whau Local Board allocating funding for round two, staff will notify the applicants of the local board decision.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

The programme was established 4 years ago in response to few hands on training programmes available for at-risk youth. The programme has been highly successful because it meets a need that is not available not just within west Auckland, but nationally. We work with the top 10% of young offenders, referrals predominantly from CYF (Youth Justice). 60% are Maori/Pacific ethnicity. The programme upskills youth with no formal education, building their confidence and providing mentorship support to navigate them to positive pathways. Located in the Whau Local Board provides ease of access to the community.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

The programme has historical proven success in reducing re-offending among young men aged 15-18 years, with over 50% of youth who complete our programme going onto secure employment or engage in long term career based training. Additionally 50% of youth do not re-offend within 18-months post completion of the programme, well above national re-offending statistics for this demographic. 

Outcomes: increasing participation by young people (at-risk youth) in local community activities, employment and training within Whau and surround areas, providing for a safer environment through reducing reoffending. We rely on revenue from Council, philanthropic and MSD to support our delivery.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

At the end of each programme intake we conduct an end of programme evaluation. We also record attendance rates, 1,3 and 6 month follow ups to ensure youth are remaining on track with their goal plan. We also conduct end of day debrief sessions during the intensive 10-day programme. We also track reoffending rates through our partnership with Police. A spreadsheet is also maintaining tracking youth long term.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

The Trust has been successful delivering this programme for the past 4 years, and also holds CYF403 accreditation status with

Child Youth and Family, evidence that the programme is delivered safely and recognised as a quality provider. SFMCT is also looking to implement a young females programme mid this year pending funding support from the Ministry of Social Development.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

We have been providing this service in West Auckland for 17 years and there has been a constant demand for our services.   We consistently have waiting lists for our mentors.  

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

Ensuring fatherless boys grow up to be good citizens and avoid drifting into dysfunctional behaviours, gangs etc.  It means that solo caregivers get additional ongoing support and it means that the boys perform better at school and are therefore less disruptive.  

Fatherless boys are seriously over-represented in crime statistics and prisons.  A regular mentor makes all the difference.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

We records all Little Buddy/Big Buddy outcomes on our database.  The volunteer co-ordinatoresw keep ongoing supervision with all parties involved.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

We have been providing essentially the same service for 1`7 years, with modifications if and when experienced has indicated the need.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

Through this event WIA has been able to bring together other ethnic groups and share this rich cultural event with a universal message. Prior events have advocated for Equality for Women, youth crime, family violence prevention, health and well being & race relations. This festivity has paved the way for

our Indian immigrants to integrate into NZ and partake in Indian festivities which they have enjoyed all their lives in their home country. Youth to participate in the event through performance and being part o fthe organising committee which allows them to contribute to the community at a young age.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

By bringing the local people to this event, we are able to demonstrate that the local board has a vested interest in the community, their culture and their well-being. It presents an opportunity to advocate community messages, social and welfare services available to the community which otherwise may not be possible. Providing a platform for the local board members to interact with their local people encourages greater community involvement and respect for local boards, law and order.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

There are over 200 participants involved with the event. It ranges to being part of the organising committee, performing cultural items, stage drama, being food and trade stall holders. The event is attended by a number of dignitaries, politicians and community leaders & local police who are able to connect with their people.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

WIA will continue this event as a platform

 to integrate the immigrants into their new community and share their culture with rest of NZ.

 to encourage youth to take an active part in the event and wellbeing of their community.

 to advocate and educate our community on pressing community issues thereby becoming better citizens.

 to involve Police, Ministry of Health, social worker and community organisation in our events so the wider community have access to them.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

Our club is small but we have incredibly talented junior athletes. The project of requesting funding for gazebos came about when our last gazebo ripped due to strong winds at Auckland Junior Relay Championships at Mt Smart. It was already very old. Many other junior athletic clubs have branded gazebos that they use as a 'home-base' during athletic competitions. These branded gazebo's will provide a visual reference, shade and shelter for our athletes and their families and also ensure Avondale has a strong presence at local and national events.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

The gazebo's will instill pride and a sense of belonging - our kids come from Avondale, and we want to make sure our presence is felt around Auckland and around NZ at athletic competitions. And on a practical note, it will provide the much-needed shelter and shade we need if the weather turns bad at events.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

Creating a home-base, ensuring shade and shelter and promoting Avondale as a strong junior athletic club.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

We have previously ordered and organised Tear drop flags with the help of funding from the Whau Local Board. This has made a big difference already. We just need to shelter our kids at competitions while promoting Avondale as a club and as a community.

Objectives

The Learning Collaborative (TLC) is a social enterprise that aims to place the determinants of a youth’s educational success completely within their control. We provide equitable access to tailored services - delivered by excellent young academic coaches and tutors - which promote self-driven learning and ensure that every individual can achieve personal academic excellence, regardless of their socio-economic background.

Activities

We are delivering two services in 2015: 

Our Academic Coaching service works with Year 10-11 students through their transition into senior school examinations, preparing them to tackle the crucial years ahead. The service pairs students with a university-aged academic coach over a series of tailored one-on-one sessions aimed at strengthening fundamental critical thinking skills, developing individual learning styles and addressing gaps in content. 

Our Scholarship Courses centre on enabling success in the NZQA Scholarship exams, allowing students to enter the exams with confidence and ensure an excellent head start for their university careers. These courses fill a distinct gap in the market for NZQA Scholarship support, enabling greater chances of success for a wider segment of students attempting these exams.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

The premise of the need for TLC’s Academic Coaching service is rooted in our team’s personal experiences. Having recently been high school students ourselves, we appreciate the unique benefits that a personal academic coaching relationship can bring to a student’s educational success. However, an analysis of existing services indicate that access to academic coaching is limited, particularly for less affluent families, and thus our aim to address this need. Since February 2015, we have also been carrying out a pilot version of the Academic Coaching service, through which this need has been widely affirmed by students, parents and teachers alike.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

Too often, students fail to develop an effective learning style early on, resulting in studying becoming a chore and a stress point. Our Academic Coaching service will develop a well-rounded and versatile student outfitted with the skills and confidence to tackle the challenges that senior school examinations bring with them. Students will graduate from our programme with a strong foundation centred on independent learning that will enable fulfillment of their academic potential. We intend to impact pivotal academic milestones such as the achievement of University Entrance and rank score requirements for particular tertiary programmes.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

TLC emphasises collaboration with the teachers and parents of our students. We encourage direct communication between these stakeholders such that we understand the impact of coaching on a student’s behaviour and academic performance. In the long term, we intend to benchmark our students against population averages for academic achievement - for example, as of 2013 49.8% of 17 year olds failed to achieve University Entrance; our intention is to measure the difference that our service has on these prospects.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

The TLC leadership team comprises of individuals who were involved in starting up NCEA Campus and Cambridge Campus - charitable organisations that delivered revision courses to students across Auckland. Under our leadership, courses were delivered to over 5,000 students across 2012-2014. This has fostered expertise in the New Zealand education sector, particularly in the arena of addressing the needs of secondary schools across a range of deciles through delivering youth-on-youth services via a high quality tutor pool.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

* Hope volunteers are regularly out on the street in Avondale communicating with people, doing home visits and follow up. This is  where issues are seen firsthand e.g. no food or furniture in the house, people sleeping on the street, dysfunctional relationships,

* Seeing the increase of people attending our Community Lunches and requesting food bank parcels because of their desperate 

   situations

* Through communication with other local community organizations where community issues and ideas are discussed

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

Our activities will bring success to our clients in the following areas:

 

* Empowered to make better life choices for themselves and families

* More recognisable skills

* Improved physical, social and mental health and wellbeing

* Functional relationships

* Improved attitude to working and work related skills

* Relating to a positive social network

* Empowered to avoid abusive and addictive environments and behavior

How will you know if you have made this difference?

Activities are evaluated on outputs and outcomes. Regular team meetings include discussions and reports on:

1. Numbers attending programmes? 

2. What are people learning, gaining and accomplishing as a result?

3. The strengths and weaknesses - how can we change/improve what we do?

4. Do we continue the programme or do we try something else?

We regularly allow time for clients to communicate thus celebrating the positive changes in their lives.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

In 2006 the work began when our volunteers began seeing issues such as poverty, unemployment, addictions through connecting with people on the street and in homes. As a result they wanted to make a positive impact on Avondale and subsequently began growing and developing resources in order to offer appropriate activities that meet the social, physical, emotional and spiritual needs of low socially economic, at risk families and disadvantaged individuals. We have run The Hope Centre since 2012.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

Our Friendship Centres have been running since 1959, as a not for profit who supports the Elderly and people with disablity sector of our Community. It is vital that our Avondale and Blockhouse Bay centres continue to provide this support. It also gives a respite to caregivers within the community, particularly when they are sole providers alone at home in the care giver role. 

Communicare is a place for those who are isolated or living on their own. 

Games, activities, arts and crafts provide stimulation, contributing to participation and engagement.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

In the Avondale and Blockhouse Bay centres people from the Whau Community are able to access our services. The ability to be supported and stimulated plus finding  a community connection for both members and volunteers. For many elderly and people with disability who live on their own this can sometimes be the only way they can meet people, share activities along with a meal. For carers of our members it provides a small respite in what is a heavy burden on a daily basis.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

We will measure outcomes with evalution. Our members evaluate our service and we continually adjust and improve our systems based on feedback we are given. We also monitor centre memberhsip statistics to determine success.  Volunteers and carers are also encouraged  to provide feedback to help us improve.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

Our 23 Friendship centres run througout Auckland and have been established since 1959.

Objectives

Teaching young boys practical life skills, supporting their cultural heritage and believing that through perseverance they can achieve anything. We value the relationship between a Father and son, and our Fathers are encouraged to participate, and experience what the great outdoors has to offer our families.

Activities

Our programme delivers leadership opportunities for our children to learn how to fish, outdoor cooking, camping, service, leadership, learning Haka and other Pasifika traditions. The boys have made raw fish, learnt to cook on gas cookers, pitched tents and lots of other activities that have helped them develop and grow their identity. We believe that through these experiences, our boys will realize their capabilities through achieving their goals, and in turn have a positive impact in their families, peers, and in our community. Our boys are destined to become leaders in their families. We envisage leadership training opportunities, inspiring them to aim high and achieve their goals, ultimately building stronger communities together. Our future is our community.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

We have huge support from the community and the families for this programme. We have also had feedback thorough survey's that were sent out to each family who responded positively.The passion for this organisation came from identifying a need to support young boys who want to be a part of an active outdoor lifestyle, giving our young ones the opportunity to be well rounded, and adopt a “have a go” attitude.  We have an increasing number of enquiries from parents who want their children to be a part of this journey.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

Through this attitude we believe that they will realise their capabilities of achieving their goals, and will in turn have a positive impact in their families, among their peers, and in the community. The programme includes a reward system, whereby the boys will complete specific tasks and be rewarded with a badge. We envision to build stronger communities together.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

We will put out a survey to the parents of these families with their feedback.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

We previously organized two chartered fishing trips for 32 Fathers and sons (Ultimate Charetered Fishing Trips) and this was incredibly successful. These activities are building the confidence of our boys, and the feedback from the families has been outstanding.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

There is no service specifically for males in Auckland, but there is for women.

I have had conversations with Work and Income Managers and referral organisations that provide for males and there is a big need for the service in the Auckland communities and specifically in the Whau communities.

There are areas of high unemployment rates in the Whau area next to areas that have difficulty employing skilled workers, which indicates a lack of motivation,confidence and tools for men/women to job hunt.

The current Government has increased incentives  for low income earners to get off the benefit into employment.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

With the help of funding money we will be hiring a local Whau venue for recruitment seminars, therefore the money will be going back into the local community.

Community members will have the chance to reconnect with the local Cambridge Clothing Company , which has a rich heritage and strong community identity that traditionally employed 300 people amongst the community.

The local community will have the tools, confidence and motivation to actively job seek, with a greater chance of employment.

A greater number of community members employed will equip citizens not only financially but enable identity and pride in their community.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

Men will feel more prepared and confident to actively job seek, which will be communicated through a feedback form.

Men will be returning for a second free outfit if they have gained employment.

There will be ongoing participants in the job seeking and job preparation seminars.

There will be positive feedback about the service amongst the community.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

I am an experienced men's stylist and men's retail manager and hold a Bachelor of Social Practice with social work experience in community and family support.

The male and female recruitment volunteers come from HR and Recruitment backgrounds, therefore are highly experienced to equip and prepare job seekers.

Cambridge Clothing, Fix Up, Look Sharp's sponsor and main donator is the biggest suiting wholesaler in New Zealand.

We focus on the needs of single parent family success, and whilst they build/rebuild identities, we provide knowledge and options alongside long term practical support through a self-help network of single parents who give to receive and become role models for newer members.

Activities

Our trust holds a variety of adult, youth and family recreational, educational and social activities and events designed to empower single parents and their families. These include monthly support meetings in 4 areas of Auckland (west, south, central and north), workshops and presentations often with speakers on topics relevant to single parent needs, camps every 3 months with children’s camp and activity costs funded,  weekly sport’s social competitions, (netball, volleyball, touch rugby and soccer) youth committee meetings, weekend and holiday family and youth social and recreational events and activities designed by single parents and their youth themselves. Group Easter, Xmas and other celebrations are also held especially for families born outside New Zealand and without family interaction.

What is your project/activity called?

Healthy Options create Healthy Choices which create Healthy Lifestyles and Healthy Role Modelling

What is your project/activity?

Netball Fees, workshop hall hire, facilitator cost and childcare cost.

What activity or purchase will be funded through this grant?

Building healthy identities means making healthy choices and we like to provide healthy options.

How will you acknowledge the Local Board if your application is successful?

We follow recommendation from the Auckland Council and add a 'thank you' to the council on our main website. Everyone will know and the news will travel across many websites giving support for single parents as single parents themselves are making trusts/societies so they can do things to help single parents in the community. Also, community groups and churches follow our moves and where we get funding. Basically, we are happy to do what is required of our group.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

We have recently started it in West Auckland and there's a lot of families that want to get involved. There's so many that eventually, in the not-so-distant future, we will make out own leagues. Fortunately, one of our board members ran netball leagues since a teenager with her single mother.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

It will bring single parents out of isolation, anger, depression and basically give them a reason to keep rebuilding. It will benefit their health and build positive relationships between parents and teens. Both single parents and teens will build healthy friendships and support networks. They will take advantage of our other services as they will connect with the group which will benefit the whole family. They will choose a healthy hobby and by doing so, they role model something positive and healthy. All affected will become team players which is very good for single parent families who often break apart.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

We see radical change in both adults and children from a year onwards. They are happier, cope better and begin making goals and reaching for them. In the short run we save lives by giving hope (we stop both suicides and homicides), options and role modeling a bright future. Both parents and children become positive simply by learning they are normal and seeing others in worse situations. We will see them take advantage of other services.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

We've been doing this for 8 years now and we've learned a lot of lessons on the way. This is an extension of something already in existence.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

"The application of structured physical training programs has been shown to positively affect many risk factors for serious problem behaviours with at-risk youth, such as increased self-esteem, increased well-being, increased acquisition of "life skills" like goal setting and planning... fitness programs have positively affected at-risk youth problem behavious such as lowered substance abuse and criminal behaviour". (Proving Physical Fitness Programs to At-Risk Youth by Thomas R. Collingwood).

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

It will make the target community realise their leadership potential in a fun and adventurous environment where the participants will learn how to be leaders and be accountable to the group.

The programme will equip the at risk youth with the necessary skill set to continue on to the Limited Service Volunteer course run by the New Zealand Defence Force. Graduates of this programme have managed to secure employment but most importantly have a different approach and outlook on life.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

The number of graduates from the LSV course who have completed the boot camp and have secured full time employment.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

The officers in the organization have successfully organised similar projects with respective not for profit and charitable organisations, including local church youth groups with a focus on health and fitness. These projects were limited in terms of fitness equipment required to effectively deliver a challenging and rewarding programme.

FRIENDS Resilience Workshops for Young People

What is your project/activity?

We would like to offer these to families who would otherwise be unable to access them.  This is absolutely essential for families which do not have the funds to otherwise afford the workshop series. These workshops are recommended by the WHO as preventative treatment for anxiety and have hugely positive life-long benefits.

What activity or purchase will be funded through this grant?

We want to provide the world class friends resilience workshops at free or highly affordable rates to at risk young people from low-socioeconomic communities who would benefit greatly from their participation. These workshops are designed to build resilience, life skills and the coping mechanisms necessary for thriving in adolescence. Each series is 12 weeks long with one workshop each week.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

There is a wide acceptance among psychologists that anxiety disorders affect 1 in 4 people during their lifetime. Many of these begin during youth and adolescence and go on to become life-long challenges. Anxiety and other mental health challenges are widely understood to have a greater prevalence low socioeconomic community backgrounds. By working with some of the most at-risk young people in these communities, we are helping to prevent potential life-long difficulties and create more confident and resilient young people.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

This project will make a huge difference for participants by equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need to grow up resiliently and to overcome anxiety in their lives. Many young men especially, turn to violence, educational absenteeism and crime when faced with anxiety. In helping some of these at-risk young people to address these problems we are helping to prevent some problematic longer term implications. Eg. Health costs, crime, educational absenteeism, unemployment.

 

These programmes also work closely with the families to create a more supportive environment and conditions for young people to thrive.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

We can track the difference that our programme is making through keeping in touch with the families, using participant surveys and also engaging with the participants after some time following the programme. We also monitor progress throughout the programme to self-evaluate the impact we hare making.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

We've been running these workshop series for sometime now and have had increasingly positive responses from participants and their families. Emma Barker, our Support Services Manager is one of the few people in New Zealand with the experience to train facilitators and therefore one of the most qualified people in the country to deliver the programme.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

CNSST Cultural Learning Centre West Auckland Branch has been established for around 10 years. Our services for local community have been developing continually. We now have 134 attendees (children or youths) and their families who attend our services at these two branches on a weekly basis. This justifies the community need for our services. The new programme, Connecting Kids, Connecting Families will connect with new children and families in the local area, building their engagement and social, cultual cohesion.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

1. Support the peopole growth in the local community by providing more educational oppotunities.

2. More participation in social and art activity instead of social isolation.

3. Enhancement of communication in the local community through joining the interactive event that requires active participation.

4. Improvement of the local children's wellbeing through fun, happiness, upskills of children and youths.

5. Enhancement of the local community cohesion through connecting the parents and families together.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

- A quantitative survey will be conducted among the event participants by 50 questionnaires. And the feedbacks would be reported through the accountability report for the Whau Community Local Board.

- Over 80% Satisfaction Rate

Objectives

Action Education was established to actively involve young people in their own development, with the aim of promoting wellness for individuals, groups and the community. We continue to adhere to our original vision: that young people are free to express their diversity and inherent creativity.

Activities

Action Education is a youth development organisation with an edge. We use creative and action based methods - spoken word, drama, music and poetry - to engage young people in youth development processes that improve self-confidence, resiliency and social behaviour. These methods resonate strongly with young people, particularly those who are struggling to identify with more traditional ways of learning. The topics covered are relevant to youth and we work closely with providers to discuss anything specific that their young people have facing. Recently this has included bullying, unemployment, depression, sexuality and discrimination. 

 

We spend our time working with young people in mainstream and Alternative Education schools, youth care and protection institutions, youth justice facilities and community organisations throughout Aotearoa.

Project activity / description

What is your project/activity called?

Spoken Word workshops in Whau area schools

What is your project/activity?

We are requesting a contribution towards the salaries of our two Youth Development Workers to provide Spoken Word workshops in the Whau area. We understand that salaries are not something that is usually funded by the Whau Local Board, however this is a programme related expense that will directly result in more youth based workshops in the Whau area.

What activity or purchase will be funded through this grant?

Spoken word is an art form that is increasingly being recognised as an incredibly effective way to engage young people in learning and development. This funding will enable us to provide workshops (which introduce participants to spoken word poetry, increase writing and literacy skills, and strengthen confidence through self-expression) to young people in schools throughout the Whau area.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

In 2010, approximately 53% of young people aged 16-24 in New Zealand had literacy levels below Level 3 (The NZ Social Report). Educational providers are looking for new and creative ways to reach out to their young people and hook them back into education.

As well as this, many young people feel isolated, disengaged and dis-empowered, and this creative process encourages them on a level that other programmes often don't. The young people that we work with feel they are rarely given the opportunity to speak, share and be heard, which is why spoken word is so meaningful.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

By the time young people have reach their teenage years, they have begun to form ideas about themselves, their identity and their value, often based on the words spoken to or about them. If those words are mostly negative, it can adversely affect their feelings about themselves and their self-worth. Spoken word gives young people a voice.

At first glance, the workshops promote communication, positive dialogue, literacy and relationship building, but they are underpinned by strong youth development processes that increase self-esteem, encourage resiliency and promote connection within peer groups, families, whanau and communities.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

Delivering programmes that are relevant is extremely important to us, which is why we ask participants to comment on their experience through evaluation forms. The information is processed to give a qualitative overview of participants experience and the effectiveness of our work. The evaluations also include a rating system which allows a quantitative perspective and comparison between groups. All of our services have clear outcomes, and having a well-structured evaluation process ensures that we continue to meet our organisational objectives.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

Last year we worked alongside around 6,000 young people in Auckland, including students at Avondale College, Bruce McLaren Intermediate and young people at Corban Estate Arts Centre. Our two full time Youth Development Workers, Ramon and Dietrich, have years of experience facilitating groups and working alongside young people, often those in tough or distressing situations. Both are also incredibly talented poets.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

We have worked within Waitakere for over 16 years now.  Our reputation as coordinators of collaborative events is very high in our community, and the feedback and evaluations we receive, tell us that our collaborative projects are relevant, effective and needed.  Toddler Day Out attracts in excess of 10,000 and is informative and transformative for families who attend; agencies who participate in Westie Dads in Action tells us it is a worthwhile platform for them; there is ongoing interest and request for support and mentoring for new  Our Amazing Place; preventing bullying requires long term commitment to creating social change.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

Violence and crime rates have reduced in West Auckland, going against the national trend.  We believe our projects contribute to this positive trend, because of their wide reach. The bully-banishing project will likely engage with 500 more local people this year; several Our Amazing Place iterations planned for this year will likely reach more than 1,000 people at each event; Jade Speaks Up DVD distribution will likely reach up to 10,000 children nationally this year; Toddler Day Out likely to attract at least 13,000 people.  Evaluations report enjoyment, greater community connection, improved parenting skills – all factors in reducing violence.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

We evaluate all of our projects to meet objectives, and address areas for improvement.  We use evaluation methods for project goal-setting, and to measure expected outcomes against these goals.  Our methodology also includes data collection from ‘prize draw feedback’ forms from participating public, and evaluation feedback from agencies we collaborate with.  We follow up one-to-one several months after an event to ascertain long term impact.  Qualitative data is fed back to communities involved.  See supporting documentation for evidence of effectiveness.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

Our high reputation is because we have delivered many very successful projects over the last 16 years, often having been replicated in other communities.  We are guided by research including Centre for Research on Children, Youth Development Strategy guidelines.  Our cross cultural relationships are key:  working closely with Fono and Pacific services of Plunket; Maori/Nuiean social worker, Togia Lanefale from man Alive; Waipareira; and Board member, Samuel Cho, of the Asian Network, links us with the new migrant community.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

We have been challenged with on-going issues around frequent absences, unpunctuality, laid back attitude towards early child education, lack of commitment and awareness of the value of early childhood education, and the influence of early childhood on laying the foundations for successful future learning. 

The community seems to be unaware of the educational opportunity available for themselves and their children. We also have feedback from the attached Glenavon School about children in the community starting at New Entrant level, unprepared and without any early childhood education.

Objectives

Attitude, the youth division of The Parenting Place, equips teenagers with life skills necessary for building a meaningful life. Our objective is to encourage mental and emotional resilience and help prevent youth suicide, teen pregnancy, bullying, drug and alcohol abuse and low self-esteem, some of the key issues NZ young people are struggling with.

Activities

Attitude provides a package of resources for NZ high schools designed to encourage young people to make choices that will keep their options open for a great future. The resources include seven different presentations and five complementary handbooks covering topics such as choices, mental health, friendships, sex, relationships, drugs, alcohol, use of technology and families. By talking about these topics we help teenagers to gain a fuller understanding of pressures facing them and then equip them with effective strategies to deal with these pressures. By teaching young people how to analyse and interpret the world around them, Attitude empowers them to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy ideas regarding themselves, their context and their future.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

• NZ statistics are alarming and some of the worst in the world when it comes to Youth suicide, teenage pregnancy and STIs. Bullying in schools, criminal assaults by children and teenage binge drinking culture are frequently in the media.

• Student feedback obtained through our third party online evaluation survey gives strong evidence for the need for and success of our programmes.

• We have been delivering presentations in Whau schools for 14 years and are always invited back. This gives a clear indication that schools endorse our programmes and see a need for what we are doing.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

The Attitude program develops young people by teaching them how to make good decisions and inspiring them to implement these decisions. We help them focus on their strengths; we equip them to engage with and solve problems, cultivate healthy self-esteem and good mental health, recover from setbacks, and understand and improve relationships. With good emotional and resilience skills, teenagers are less likely to fall into substance abuse, self-harm and dangerous relationships. Students are empowered to make informed choices and negotiate their teenage years in a safe and positive way and so become positive contributors to society.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

Since 2007, a third party online student evaluation survey has been hosted on the Attitude website with 33,468 students participating to date. A teacher evaluation survey is sent out every two years. Results from both surveys have been overwhelmingly positive, and are used to support on-going development of our programmes. An additional indicator is schools continue to invite us back each year and the number of presentations continues to increase. In 2014 Attitude delivered presentations to approx 233,000 students.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

Attitude has been operating in high schools for the past 18 years. Since its inception, Attitude has grown exponentially from speaking to 30,000 young people in four towns per year to 233,000 young people in more than 100 towns per year. Attitude is now NZ’s largest external provider of health programmes, having delivered 20,771 presentations to approximately 2,408,789 young people in intermediate and high schools across the country.

Attitude will also apply to all possible funders in the region to fund the remaining expenses. If we were unsuccessful in raising enough funds for this project Attitude will still visit the schools listed, however we will deliver fewer presentations and handbooks than the number requested by schools.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

The PMS clients, the general Kiribati communities and their churches whose youths have participated in the PMS previous cross cultural youth development training programmes during the Pasifika Festival March 2015 reported that their youths enjoyed them. They requested PMS to consider  developing more youths events such as sports, fitness and exercise to involve youths in healthier activities and help keep them off the streets. Reports also show that more Pacific youths live in poor homes, and are less healthier than their Pakeha counterparts. Obesity is also increasing among the Pacific population in NZ particularly those in sub standard living conditions.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

- Kiribati youths around Auckland will learn healthier lifestyles and will be inclined to adopt them

- Youths will  realise the negative impacts of 'street' activities such as bad diet, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol and drugs and adopt better living choices

- Youths will develop leadership skills that will benefit their communities and their families

-  More communities initiatives involving members 

- Safer neighbourhoods

- Youths will make good role models in their communities with positive impact on the young children

- Youths attitude to work and responsibilities are more reliable

- More youths engage in sports and less on the streets

- Improvement in academic performances

How will you know if you have made this difference?

- More youths taking on leadership roles such as coaching teams after the project 

- Kiribati communities report less violence or crime in their areas

- More youths take on jobs and able to keep them

- Positive feedback from youths themselves and their parents, churches and other community leaders

- Improved school reports

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

There are a lot of children and young people hanging around Avondale town centre after school. With little entertainment for them in the time frame from after school until tea time. Children and young people hanging around Avondale are percieved as a nuisance or intimidating. By having positive recreational experiences for them will help to keep them engaged.

 

The park itself is underutilised and can be activated through regular activity. It is hoped once the programme ceases the equipment can be  left with the community to continue the activation of this space and regular physical recreation.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

The Target community will be engaged and the space will be activated. Avondale Reserve is currently perceived as an undesirable park to play in but with regular use this perception can be changed.

 

Playnow is for anyone with any ability, the games are adaptable and can be played with minimal surface area.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

We will collect statistical information and report on this once the programme ceases.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

We have been delivering community based sport and recreation programmes since we became a sports trust in 1991.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

We have established the need for this project by consulting with our key governance members - the board, our guiding committee and also our Hub Manager. This need has been clearly identified as a priority when it comes to connecting with our community, extending the services of our Hub online, making them more accessible and fostering a new space for community connections to occur.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

We are confident this project will make a positive difference in the community. An online noticeboard, regular updates, e-newsletter, supporter database, local group directory and a collaborative online space would have a hugely positive impact in bringing the community together more. It would allow different groups to work together and would make our services more accessible to those using online forms of engagement. It would also keep people informed and encourage greater development in computer literacy. It would also increase our presence generally, spreading the word about our work and also encouraging interested people to get involved with our programmes.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

We will know we have a difference if we see increasing rates of community organization/institutional collaboration, more uptake of our facilities, increased numbers of people engaged in the Kelston Community. We also will achieve positive outcomes if we see more people

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

We believe that our experience in developing the Hub and building strong community collaborations makes the establishment of this website/communications project a natural next step for the Hub. We have run numerous small projects and overseen the development of the Hub as a whole. Our success in these areas has clearly demonstrated our community's skills in overseeing projects and seeing them through to fruition.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

These workshops aim to encourage young people to use story, and specifically film as a medium for exploring sustainability issues. The need for humankind (especially young people) to confront the issues around sustainability is well known and as

part of our workshops we focus on getting young people exploring sustainability issues and making films that have the potential to encourage dialogue within their communities. We know that young people want to confront these issues and therefore need tools to do so. We run our workshops in order to help them develop those tools.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

These workshops will demystify sustainability and film-making to the point where the participants are inspired to develop their ideas and make films dealing with issues they care about. In addition to opening up and broadening the concept of

sustainability, our workshops show participants that equipment and technology need not be a barrier to making films that are worth watching. We encourage the use of whatever resources are available - it's the ideas that matter.

When young people make films about issues they care about and present them for their community to see, communities are affected.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

We will encourage workshop participants to make and enter films into The Outlook for Someday film challenge. Over 50 percent of our winning entries came from workshop participants last year. We will also have participants complete feedback forms at the end of the workshop.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

Connected Media was founded in 1993 to promote sustainability through media. Since 2007 we have run The Outlook for Someday film challenge and since 2011 The Outlook for Someday Sustainability Film-making workshops. In addition,

Connected Media has a team of eight facilitators who are experienced film-makers and sustainability experts. This team is involved in workshop development and delivery, thus broadening and deepening our expertise.

We are applying to two local boards for equal amounts of $1063 towards the costs of running this workshop (another $175 in kind is provided by Connected Media). We also hope to get around $2012 towards the facilitator costs from the Auckland Council Creative Communities Scheme. Should any of these applications be unsuccessful, we will consider using core funding.

Our application to CCS is actually for more, however it is unlikely that we will receive funding for all of the budget lines we've applied for. Should we receive more, we would hand equal amounts back to the local boards.

Have you (or will you) apply to any other organisation for funding for your activity/project?

What is your project/activity called?

Printing and distribution of information for Youth in Whau

What is your project/activity?

We seek funding to go towards the design, printing and delivery of our youth focused promotional resources, such as the text/helpline wallet cards.  These will be distributed to secondary schools and community organisations in Whau by ‘Attitude’ who present on a range of youth topics.  The cards support these presentations by providing students with access to help and information services.

What activity or purchase will be funded through this grant?

One of our overall aims is that young people know where to turn for help.  To achieve this aim, Youthline prints, designs & delivers thousands of promotional resources to schools and community groups across the country. These vital resources promote our core services including our website & free text, email & phone Helpline.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

According to Council data, Whau has a youth population of just over 15000.  Last year we provided assistance, information and counselling to 119 young people from Whau (not including texts/calls to our helpline as we are currently unable to identify geographic location from cellphones).   Our research tells us that the barriers that stop young people asking for help, include embarrassment, worry they will not be taken seriously, cost and hope that their problem will go away.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

Distribution of information to schools and community organisation within Whau will give young people access to free, youth friendly and relevant services.  Those who have used our service often report feeling less burdened after having a non- judgemental space to talk about what is going on for them. They are able to process issues they may be having, and identify supports and coping strategies with a trained helpline counsellor alongside them. This is crucial to building young people’s resilience to cope with risks later in life.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

We collect data of each call/text/email coming through the helpline.  We measure how many calls come in, how many are answered and within what timeframe, and the type of issues presented to us.This tells us whether we are responding appropriately to the issues we are contacted about.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

The Helpline is the service for which we are best known. We have been training volunteers to man this frontline service since its inception 40 years ago. We receive over 45,000 calls and manage over 256,000 texts per year from people seeking help. Either on the phone, face to face or online, Youthline makes over 400,000 people contacts a year.

Objectives

POET assists low decile secondary schools to facilitate the delivery of outdoor education experiences for students by building capability and sustainability in schools through professional development, mentoring of teachers and direct funding.

Activities

Our programme coordinators work in schools providing a free service to support teachers to deliver meaningful outdoor experiences for their students. 

Our outdoor experiences are often close to home and low cost helping to build connections between students and their local environments. A key principle is that our programme is facilitated by teachers, positive relationships between teachers and students are promoted and long term sustainability of the programme is more likely. We support schools’ in developing their systems so they can ensure that outcomes are met and experiences are safely managed. Our programme supports camps for years 9, 10 and citizenship camps at year 13. We promote community service initiatives and student leaders who also lead on junior camps.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

School requests to join programme. Schools communities tell us it isn't an option to use expensive outdoor providers, the financial burden is too great. If they don't have other options then only option is to drop outdoor education from their school all together. 

Lack of capability and/or capacity in the outdoors - POET model teachers the teacher, building capacity and capability in communities so they (schools) can manage and run safe outdoor education programmes for their students. 

We provide a framework for our schools but each programme is flavoured by the school and wider school community so it is meaningful.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

•             Make the transition to High School a more positive experience for Year 9 students 

• Build positive relationships between students and senior students and students and staff 

•             Develop mentoring, youth advocacy and leadership skills 

•             Increased student independence and adolescent challenges 

• Address anti-social and self-centred behaviour 

•             Show increased confidence through a strengthened sense of purpose and belonging 

•             Value, be valued and actively participate within their communities 

•             Develop self-efficacy and strategies that support pro-social change and the realisation of their potential 

•             Explore and develop strengths and accomplish goals 

•             Develop mentoring, youth advocacy and leadership skills

How will you know if you have made this difference?

Through reporting from school Principal, teachers and students. Numbers of teachers that go through our professional development eg outdoors first aid etc. No's of students we get into the outdoors, quality of student leaders, evidence of reduction in anti social behaviours.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

12 years working with low decile secondary schools, currently 12 schools. Coordinators have 40 year’s combined knowledge and experience in outdoors. Provides outdoor education resources for teachers, best practice examples from other schools, a robust working model, opportunity for a holistic approach to outdoor education, most up to date knowledge and experience in the sector. Work with RST's, Universities

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

It is found that in South Asian family the culture of joined families is still prevalent where seniors live with their children and grand children. The stay at home and feel isolated, lonely and thus rises emotional stress. It is important to keep going one has to indulge in some interaction or activity with like minded people. therefore, the need of such a platform arose.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

We run regularly fortnightly meet for senior citizens and workshops, computer classes, outings at regular intervals. To keep their mind healthy along with their soul.

* Feel of Involvement - Elders are more active and involved in community activities 

* Feel of Active Participation - Eliminating risks associated with isolation, loneliness and promoting active learning among elders 

* Feel of Importance - Emotional and social support reduces stress & provides a healthy environment for elders 

* Feel of hearthy body and healthy mind - Reduction in health care costs and leading to happier elders with happier families

How will you know if you have made this difference?

By looking at the active participation.

By seniors - sharing of thoughts

By appreciating feedback on the social engines and other ways

By more people involvement.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

The Vaevae Manava Education Review Report (ERO) has established that the next Key Step for our Children Achievement is a Focus on Children Education Transition Development and an upgrade of our Children's Resources, Learning & Play Equipment identified as a necessity, particularly in light of the fact that there has been no equipment upgrade in 10 Years. This has been identified as crucial for the success of future Children  Education Transition Development and our Education Centers Future Sustainability. A Child's Early Childhood Education 0 - 5 years are the most crucial years in a Child's life for their future development.

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

It will provide our Children with the necessary motor skills and cognitive development to fully develop in transition and to maximise their full potential. It provides our Children with more opportunities to explore, experience and experiment with more resources, a wider variety of learning and play equipment that will provide our Children with a more counter productive learning environment.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

Our Children's learning outcomes will deepen, improve, broaden, extend and develop beyond expectation. Our Children will develop more advanced motor skills and cognitive development, initiate their own play and develop self management skills. Our teachers will minimise teacher directed routines to be more responsive to the requirements of babies and toddlers.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

Through collaboration with local schools and community, and through our own research, we know that there is a significant and on-going community demand for our Programmes. Through the feedback from teachers, families, mentors and the young people participating in the programmes themselves, we know there is not only a demand but meaningful outcomes achieved for young people in our community.  

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

Through comprehensive research and evaluation processes we know the difference our programmes make. With our University research partners helping illustrate this, we know our programmes; improve attitudes and behaviour, improve academic results, help young people set and achieve their goals, boost self-confidence, reduce truancy rates and at risk behaviours, such as substance abuse, and help young people feel more positive about the future.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

All of our programmes are underpinned by a comprehensive evaluation process, including feedback from students and teachers. Through on-going evaluation and monitoring of our programmes and the students who are engaged in the programme, we will be able to track the impact and benefits for programme participants. At FYD we believe it is important that we not only do good, but that we can also prove the difference we make. Our programmes change lives and are informed by best-practice research. 

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

We have been delivering community based Youth Development programmes over the last 20 years. We have experienced and qualified staff delivering these programmes and we have been working with the schools and communities in which we deliver the programmes for many years. We are a leader in the Youth Development field and have expertise in positive Youth Development at both an organisation and staffing level.

Objectives

Green Bay Youth Work has no legal status and uses Titirangi Baptist Church as it’s umbrella organisation. It also comes under the auspices of 24-7YouthWork.

Green Bay Youth Work has five objectives: Student support, developing leaders, community connections, school spirit and building positive relationships. We want to see young people build a great foundation to launch themselves into adult life.

Activities

These objectives are achieved through one on one mentoring, a boys group, a girls group, school carnival day, ‘Green Bay’s Got Talent’ talent quest, meeting with local businesses and developing lasting community support and partnerships. We currently have three paid youth workers and three volunteer who are in the school for a combined total of 35 hours a week. We have a caravan at the school where students go and ‘hangout’ with the youth workers. Interval and lunch are the busiest times for our youth workers however throughout the day teachers will allow students to leave class to meet with the youth workers, in the same way they would with the school counsellor.

How have you established there is a need for this activity/project?

New Zealand has one of the highest rates of youth suicide in the world. http://www.headspace.org.nz/young-people/suicide.htm

Up to one in three girls will be subject to an unwanted sexual experience by the age of 16 years. http://rpe.co.nz/information/statistics/

Children between 9 and 15 are commonly at important turning points in their lives. (Rhodes and Lowe, 2008). Knowing this, it is important for youth to have positive role models and mentors.

Students meeting regularly with their mentors are: 

52% less likely to skip a day of school 

37% less likely to skip a class 

(Public/Private Ventures study of Big Brothers Big Sisters).

http://www.mentoring.org/about_mentor/value_of_mentoring

What difference will the activity/project make to the target community?

At its most basic level, mentoring will guarantee a young person that there is someone who cares about them. The 2013 study “The Role of Risk: Mentoring Experiences and Outcomes for Youth with Varying Risk Profiles found that the strongest program benefit was a reduction in depressive symptoms. (http://www.mentoring.org/about_mentor/value_of_mentoring).

 Rises in school commitment, self-esteem and classroom application will be seen. The boys will learn practical life skills in their guys group while talking about what is going on in their lives. This will encourage growing in respect for others, communication and team work.

How will you know if you have made this difference?

Previously this has been shown through testimonials from students and family. Also through the recording of how each youth workers time is spent and how many individuals have been mentored. We can make specific comparisons between 2014 and 2015. A simple survey can be completed at the end of the year for the boys who were apart the group led by this youth worker. Student interaction and rapport with this youth worker will also be noted and evaluated.

What expertise does your organisation have in delivering similar projects?

Green Bay Youth Work has been at Green Bay High School since 2010 and have a great working relationship with the school. Due to the need we have grown from one paid youth worker to 3 paid and 3 volunteer. Coming under the auspices of 24-7 YouthWork it is compulsory the in the first year youth workers gain Level 3 Youth Work National Certificate and attend the 24-7 YouthWork annual national training conference. Therefore out youth workers are well equipped.

Libraries Proposed Property Renewals Programme for 2015/2016

 

File No.: CP2015/07019

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       This report seeks approval from the Whau Local Board for proposed 2015/16 property renewal capital works for Libraries.

Executive Summary

2.       The property renewals programme is an annual capital works programme. The programme ensures that each Council facility can operate to the current level of service articulated in the relevant asset management plan.

The Whau Local Board proposed property renewals programme for 2015/16 is detailed in this report as Attachment 1.

In the 2015/16 financial year, the Whau Local Board’s budget for each Libraries property renewal and Furniture, Fittings & Equipments programme (FF&P) is $719,169.

A list of all Libraries’ proposed property renewal projects for all Auckland Council Local Boards for 2015/16 is provided for your information as Attachment 2.

 

Recommendations

That the Whau Local Board:

a)      Approves the property renewals programme 2015/16 as listed in Attachment 1.

b)      Delegates responsibility to Valerie Brown, Service Delivery & Logistics Support Manager, to approve any moderate changes to the budget in the event that there is a variation to identified costs for its property renewals programme.

c)      Allows for any project surplus to be held as contingency for other renewals projects included within this report for this board.

 

Comments

3.       Community facilities are an important part of realising the vision of Auckland to become the world’s most liveable city. They contribute to building strong, healthy, and vibrant communities by providing spaces where Aucklanders can connect, socialise, learn, and participate in a wide range of social, cultural, art, and recreational activities. These activities foster improved lifestyles and a sense of belonging and pride among residents.

4.       Investment in this property renewals programme will ensure that Council facilities remain valuable, well-maintained community assets that continue to meet user expectations. Not undertaking timely property renewals will have an undesirable impact on the customer experience and put asset performance at risk, and ultimately increase the cost to maintain the facility.

5.       The property renewals programme is a planned and documented process comprising of seven project management framework phases. These phases are: data collection, feasibility, initiation, planning, execution & transition, closure, and benefits realisation. Local Board sign-off is within the third phase (initiation) of the Property Renewals Programme process.

6.       The property renewals programme process ensures that the proposed work-lists (Attachment 1) have received extensive input and assessment from both property and activity officers.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

7.       Council officers are seeking Local Board approval for the proposed Whau Local Board property renewals programme for 2015/16. Council officers will report quarterly to the Local Board, including any reduction in project costs, to enable a review of budget options.

Māori impact statement

8.       The Whau Local Board 2015/16 Proposed Property Renewals property renewals programme will ensure that all facilities continue to be well-maintained community assets benefiting the local community, including Māori.

Implementation

9.       Council officers have consulted with Local Board representatives and relevant Council departments in order to formulate both the property renewals process and the attached lists of proposed renewals. Consultation will continue with all stakeholders throughout the financial year while this programme is implemented.

10.     This work will be implemented as part of Council’s Property Department’s usual business practice and delivered in partnership with Libraries.

Whau Local Board Community Fees and Charges - July to December 2014

 

File No.: CP2015/07265

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       To present the usage and revenue data from community facilities within the local board area for the period 1 July to 31 December 2014 and to highlight any significant impact of the new fees and charges that were introduced on 1 July 2014.

2.       To recommend community facilities fees and charges for the 2015/2016 yea

Executive Summary

3.       On 25 March 2015, members of the Whau Local Board met at a workshop to consider the impact of the new fees and charges introduced on 1 July 2014. Please refer to Attachment A for the fee schedule for 2014/2015.

4.       The council’s ‘Hire Fee Framework – For Hire of Auckland Council’s Community Facilities’ (the framework) was developed over a two-year period from 2012-2014 and was based on good practice principles. All local boards adopted the framework, although six chose to vary from the recommended fees and charges. These recommended fees and charges, which would help ensure fairness and transparency for all users, were introduced for all council-managed facilities in the other local board areas across the region on 1 July 2014.

5.       There are two council-managed community facilities In the Whau Local Board area - the Avondale Community Centre and New Lynn Community Centre. After 1 July, the council received enquiries from three of the 58 regular hirers across both of the venues. All accepted a transition arrangement until the end of September 2014. For the full list of regular hirers, please refer to Attachment B.

6.       For a table of fees and charges per venue for the July to December period, please refer to the summary in Attachment C. Attachment D shows the number of sessions booked by activity type.

7.       The table below summarises the combined activity of the council-managed facilities in the Whau Local Board area for the July to December period. Please note that some figures are reported as percentage points (pp), while others are shown as a percentage (%). Please refer to the glossary of terms (Attachment E) for more information on percentage points.

Utilisation

Visitors

Revenue

-6 pp

       +39,710 (+58%)

      +$10,439 (+17%)

 

 

 

8.       Over the six-month period, utilisation (booked hours divided by 10 available hours per day) decreased by 6 percentage points (pp). Over the same period, visitor numbers increased from 68,789 to 108,499 (+58 per cent) and revenue increased by $10,439.

9.       Mitigating Factors: In July 2014, a new process was introduced to book the available spaces in most of the council-managed community facilities across the region and to ensure the cancellation charge was applied where appropriate. This has greatly helped to record more accurate utilisation and visitor numbers than in previous years.

10.     For the 2014/2015 financial year, revenue from community facilities is expected to increase for the Whau Local Board. This could help contribute to the maintenance of these facilities and reflects the good practice principles imbedded in the framework, including fairness to all users.

 

Recommendations

That the Whau Local Board:

a)      Agrees that the 2014/2015 community facilities hire fees will remain, uninflated, for the 2015/2016 year and will apply to all new and existing hirers using the facilities.

b)      Requests council staff to provide regular updates on the impact of the hire fees and the performance of council-managed community facilities as part of the quarterly reports.

 

Comments

11.     The council’s ‘Hire Fee Framework – For Hire of Auckland Council’s Community Facilities’ (the framework) was developed over a two-year period from 2012-2014 and acknowledged that ‘access to safe, affordable places for people to pursue their interests provides many benefits to the wider community…’ The framework included these good practice principles: public management, lawfulness, accountable, transparent (openness), value for money, integrity and fairness.

12.     When the framework was prepared, it took account of the wide range of legacy hire arrangements that were recorded or published. All local boards adopted the framework, although six chose to vary from the recommended fees and charges. When the new framework was implemented, it became clear that across some local boards there were a large number of exceptions to the published hire rates that had not been recorded in the past or visible to the organisation. This meant that there were a number of customer enquiries relating to the new fee structure. Customers facing significant price increases were allowed transition rates until the end of September 2014.

13.     In April 2014, the Whau Local Board resolved to adopt the new fees and charges for the hire of council-owned community venues (Resolution number WH/2014/57).

 

14.     Members of the Whau Local Board met for a workshop on 25 March 2015 to consider the impact of the new fees and charges introduced on 1 July 2014. Please refer to Attachment A for the fee schedule for 2014/2015.

15.     Impact of implementing new fees and charges: In the July to December 2014 period, the council received enquiries from three of the 58 regular hirers across both of the venues. All accepted a transition arrangement until the end of September 2014. For the full list of regular hirers, please refer to Attachment B.

16.     Summary of utilisation, visits and revenue by local board area: Please note that some figures in the following graphs are reported as percentage points (pp), while others are shown as a percentage (%). For a table of fees and charges per venue for the July to December period, please refer to the summary in Attachment C. Attachment D shows the number of sessions booked by activity type.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

17.     Whau Local Board – Utilisation hours booked

18.     Both of the local board’s council-managed facilities decreased their utilisation hours in the range of -3 to -8 percentage points. The average was a 6 percentage point decrease when compared with the same six-month period last year. 

 

19.     Whau Local Board – Visits

20.     Visitors to the local board’s two council-managed community facilities increased on average by 58 per cent when compared with the same period last year, with both facilities reporting increases. This is in contrast with the lower utilisation and is possible by a change in recording processes or a change customer type to larger groups or could be due to a number of large events that attract many participants.

 

Highlights/exceptions/mitigating factors

21.     Both of the facilities had lower utilisation but higher visitor numbers, which can be seen on the two charts below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

22.    

23.    

24.     Mitigating factors: In July 2014, a new process was introduced to book the available spaces in most of the council-managed community facilities across the region and to ensure the cancellation charge was applied where appropriate. This has greatly helped to record more accurate utilisation, particularly with last-minute cancellations or ‘no shows’ for bookings. Back in 2013, the utilisation figures may not have reflected these actions by the users.

25.     Revenue

26.     The local board earned more revenue when compared with the same period last year and this is in contrast with the lower utility. This is likely due to a change in customer types to those paying a higher fee or an increase in the fees paid by customers, as well as a tighter charging of cancellation fees.

In summary

27.     The table below summarises the combined activity of the facilities in the Whau Local Board area for the July to December 2014 period.

Utilisation

Visitors

Revenue

-6 pp

      +39,710 (+58%)

      +$10,439 (+17%)

         

28.     Over the six-month period, utilisation decreased by 6 percentage points (pp). Over the same period, visitor numbers increased from 68,789 to 108,499 (+58 per cent) and revenue increased by $10,439.

29.     For the 2014/2015 financial year, revenue from community facilities is expected to increase for the Whau Local Board. This could help contribute to the maintenance of these facilities and reflects the good practice principles imbedded in the framework, including fairness to all users.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

30.     The impact of the new community facilities fees and charges introduced on 1 July 2014 were work shopped with members of the Whau Local Board on 25 March 2015.

31.     The recommendations within this report fall within the Whau Local Board’s authority relating to local recreation, sport and community facilities.

Māori impact statement

32.     The fees and charges framework is not specifically targeted for Maori populations. However, it aims to be clear and transparent to all users, including Maori.

Implementation

33.     The information included in this report will inform the fees and charges to be adopted for the 2015/2016 Annual Plan, in April this year.

34.     The recommendations in this report do not trigger the Auckland Council Significance Policy.

Term

Definition

B

Number of slots/sessions booked by a hirer

C

Percentage points

A percentage point (pp) represents the difference between two percentages on a 100 per cent scale. It is used for measures like utilisation so the changes can be put into the right context. For example, if utilisation increased from thirty per cent to forty per cent that could be stated in error as a 25 per cent increase. To put it in the right context means it would be a ten percentage point increase. Volume-based increases or decreases (e.g. visitor numbers or revenue) are reported as percentages.

Third Quarter Whau Local Board work programme review

 

File No.: CP2015/08861

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       This report seeks the Board’s confirmation of additions and changes to the adopted work programmes.

Executive Summary

2.       The Whau Local Board adopted departmental work programmes including budget allocations for the 2014/15 year. Regular quarterly performance reports provide an opportunity for the Whau Local Board to review progress and respond to changes in activity.

3.       This report proposes additions and changes to the adopted work programmes and allocations of budget to deliver on the local board plan and its priorities.

4.       The Nine Month Performance Report has identified unallocated operational budget in the following areas:

·    Local planning, policy and governance (CAPEX  Local Board Discretionary Fund) $110,334

·    Local arts and culture facilities (Ambrico Kiln) $32,468

·    Local planning, policy and governance (Avondale development programme) $29,910

·    Local environment and heritage (Heritage protection) $10,913

·    Local community development initiatives (Community Waitakere Shared Work Programme) $12,300

5.       In consultation with staff the following is therefore proposed.

Project

Background

Allocation

Delivery of Greenways projects as per programme adopted in April by Parks West

The Board has prioritised “creating safer connections for walkers, cyclists, pushchairs and mobility scooters”.

The Board has invested in concept development for priority projects. Recently the Whau coastal walkway project was launched and works started on projects in Archibald, Ken Maunder and Olympic Park and in April the Board adopted its long term Greenways programme. There are future opportunities for regional and government funding and additional philanthropic support.

$94,334 from CAPEX- Local Board Discretionary Fund

 

Additional works for the Whau Great North Road bridge gateway project

“Encouraging more arts activity and acknowledging our different cultures” and “additional street signage that tells the stories of our places” are key initiatives for the Local Board.

The sign art work on the Whau Bridge at Great North Road has been a project developed with community consultation and Unitec support. As the project has developed more information has come to light on engineering needs and lighting costs. This additional support will allow the project to be completed.

$16,000 from CAPEX- Local Board Discretionary Fund

Additional cultural arts activities as part of the Whau the People Arts Festival

“Encouraging more arts activity and acknowledging our different cultures” is one the key initiatives for the Local Board.

The “Whau - the people” arts festival was successfully held in 2014 and the Board recently endorsed funding for 2015 and will be considering an ongoing relationship. This additional support will build on a proven event and enable more cultural activities (for example a Choir event) to be included in the programme.

$22,468 from Local arts and culture facilities (Ambrico Kiln)

$7,500 from Local planning, policy and governance (Avondale development programme)

6.       Additional funding for current discretionary community grants round

Supporting “place making and neighbourhood development projects” is a key initiative to deliver the Great Local Communities priority in the Whau Local Board’s Plan.

The applications for this grants round were significantly above what was available and the Board was severely constrained in supporting groups adequately. Providing additional funds will enable groups to be more fully funded for their proposals.

$12,300 from Local community development initiatives

$10,000 from Local planning, policy and governance (Avondale development programme)

7.       Heritage activities that acknowledge and record the history of the brickworks in New Lynn

“Celebrating our built and natural heritage” and “telling the stories of our place” are a major focus of the Board’s Heritage, Arts and Culture priority.

It was recently announced that Monier Brickworks will be closing later this year. This is the last operating brickworks in the area and marks a significant milestone in Whau’s history. This support will enable an event to acknowledge the clay industry and to record its contribution to New Zealand.

$10,913 from Local environment and heritage (Heritage protection)

$10,000 from Local arts and culture facilities (Ambrico Kiln)

Rosebank Peninsula esplanade weed removal and planting

Supporting “more community environment programmes including weed removal and pest eradication” is a key initiative to deliver the “healthy and valued environment” priority.

Over the years Council has supported initiatives to remove of weeds along the Rosebank Peninsula. The Board has identified as a priority supporting the Motu Manawa conservation programmes and increasing community access to waterways. The Board has received an approach to work with local businesses in the improvement of Council’s esplanades.

$12,500 from Local planning, policy and governance (Avondale development programme)

 

 

 

Recommendations

That the Whau Local Board:

a)      Allocates $94,334 from CAPEX- Local Board Discretionary Fund towards delivery of Greenways projects by Parks-West

b)      Allocates $22,468 from Local arts and culture facilities (Ambrico Kiln) and $10,000 from Local planning, policy and governance (Avondale development programme) to provide a grant to Whau the People Arts Festival for additional pacific and ethnic arts activities

c)      Allocates $12,300 from Local community development initiatives and $10,000 from Local planning, policy and governance (Avondale development programme) to provide additional funding to Community Development for the current discretionary community grants round

d)      Allocates $10,913 from Local environment and heritage (Heritage protection) and $10,000 from Local arts and culture facilities (Ambrico Kiln) to deliver a range of heritage activities that acknowledge and record the history of the brickworks in New Lynn

e)      Allocates $12,500 from Local planning, policy and governance (Avondale development programme) to Parks-West for Rosebank Peninsula esplanade weed removal and planting.

Manukau Harbour Forum Work Programme for 2015/2016

 

File No.: CP2015/07504

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       To forward the recommendations of the Manukau Harbour Forum to all nine member boards requesting funding for the forum’s 2015/2016 work programme, including its communication plan. The full report is appended as Attachment A.

Executive Summary

2.       At its meeting of 14 July 2014, the Manukau Harbour Forum (the forum) resolved on a work programme to deliver on the Manukau Harbour Action Plan 2013-2015, recommending that the forum’s nine member boards contribute funding for this work programme for the three years. The work programme is comprised of the flagship sites programme, research hui and the communications plan (see Attachments B and C).

3.       The forum’s recommendations for funding of the first year of the work programme (2014/2015) were circulated to member boards in August 2014. At its meeting of 17 September 2014 the Whau Local Board resolved as follows:

Resolution number WH/2014/1

MOVED by Member A Chand, seconded by Member R Manukia-Schaumkel:  

That the Whau Local Board:

a)      Accords the Jill Naysmith, Chairperson of the Manukau Harbour Forum speaking rights for this item.

b)      Allocates funding of $4,000 from its Infrastructure and Environmental Services budget for Whau river and harbours for 2014/15 to the Manukau Harbour Forum to enable an agreed action plan and work programme to progress.

c)      Will consider future funding through Long Term Plan process and advocacy to the governing body for the subsequent two years.

4.       The forum’s resolution of 14 July 2014 estimated that the second year of the work programme (2015/2016) would cost $15,800 per member board. The forum has subsequently been provided with three options for year 2 of the communication plan with detailed costings, and the forum resolved to recommend an option which would result in a lower overall cost to member boards for the 2015/2016 work programme than estimated in its July 2014 resolution.

5.       At its 13 April meeting, the forum resolved on the second year of the work programme, recommending that member boards:

Resolution number MHFJC/2015/2

MOVED by Member BM Graham, seconded by Member D Wrightson:  

a)      That the Manukau Harbour Forum notes the information in the Update on Work Programme report.

b)      That the Manukau Harbour Forum recommends to member boards that funding be allocated to support a flagship sites programme and research hui in 2015/2016.

c)      That the Manukau Harbour Forum recommends option 2 for year 2 of the communication and activation plan for recommendation to member boards for funding.

d)           That the Manukau Harbour Forum thank officers for their attendance.

6.       The forum’s recommendation that member board fund year 2 of the work programme with option 2 of the communication brings the overall cost per member board to $11,889 for the 2015/2016 year. It should be noted that the cost per board of the work programme with option 2 of the communications plan is incorrectly stated in Attachment A as being $12,300.

           

Recommendation

That the Whau Local Board:

a)      Supports the request from the Manukau Harbour Forum and agree to allocate $11,889 to enable the Manukau Harbour Forum’s work programme for 2015/2016 to proceed.

Review of alcohol bans 2015

 

File No.: CP2015/04264

 

  

Purpose

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

Executive Summary

2.       The Whau Local Board has the delegated responsibility to review all 66 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 nine existing alcohol bans

·        propose to lapse 57 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.

 

Recommendations

That the Whau Local Board:

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

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

c)      Notes 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)      Authorises 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)      Authorises 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 a Local Board member (as chair) and two more Local Board members as 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 7am 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 66 alcohol bans in the Whau 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 (5)

24 hours, 7 days a week

Park, beach and foreshore reserve (61)

24 hours, 7 days a week

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 retain (Attachment A)

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

·        identify any changes to the list of alcohol bans proposed to retain (Attachment A)

·        identify any changes to the list of alcohol bans proposed 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 – Whau Local Board May 2015” to facilitate this (Attachment C)

·      retain the following nine existing alcohol bans (Attachment A):

o   Archibald Park

o   Avondale Town Centre

o   Blockhouse Bay Town Centre

o   Green Bay Town Centre

o   Ken Maunder Park

o   Lawson Park

o   New Lynn Town Centre

o   Northall Park

o   Rosebank Town Centre

·      allow the remaining 57 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 nine 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.

Developing the Empowered Communities Approach - Next Steps

 

File No.: CP2015/07598

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       This report provides an update on the Empowered Communities Approach (ECA), and enables the Whau Local Board to provide formal feedback. Resolutions will be reported to the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee on 4 June 2015.

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.

3.       The Community Development, Arts and Culture Department of the Operations Division is leading the development of ECA, with support from Local Board Services and others.

4.       The purpose of the 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 the council family.

5.       The proposed approach builds on the Thriving Communities Action Plan Ngā Hapori Momoho (April 2014).

6.       The proposed approach is guided by the principle of Empowered Communities: Enabling Council resulting in improved outcomes for Aucklanders. The approach identifies what will change, what council will do and enabling ways of working.  

7.       The proposed approach was reported to local boards and the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee in April 2015.

8.       The key functions of the new operating model are to support local boards, build community capacity and capability, increase diverse community input into the work of council, catalyse the approach across the whole of council and build the capacity of the organisation to work in ways which empower communities. 

9.       There will be a shift from delivering community development activities directly to communities, to using community development practices to achieve local board and governing body aspirations and outcomes.

10.     The proposed operating model will consist of three components which together will better support the delivery of local board plans as well as address complex community issues across Auckland. These components are provisionally called: local community brokers, the community practice hub and Auckland-wide response.   

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

12.     Community development and engagement is at the heart of the role of local boards. The local board plans all include a focus on developing strong communities. Proposed changes to council’s community development approach are of significant interest to local boards. 

13.     To date the ECA has been informed by the following input from local boards: Political Advisory Group (PAG), two chairs and portfolio holders’ workshops and individual local board workshops.

14.     Community and council staff consultation has also informed the approach.

15.     The final PAG meeting is on 4 May 2015. Feedback from that meeting is either attached to this report, or where local board meetings are early in May, will be tabled at the meeting.

16.     The transition timeline is for work to be done on models and roles from now until the end of June. From July to December the approach will be implemented to meet local board needs and in 2016 as the approach matures and evolves it will be extended across the council family.

17.     This report enables the Whau Local Board to make resolutions on the ECA. These resolutions will be reported to the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee on 4 June 2015.

 

Recommendation

That the Whau Local Board:

a)      Makes resolutions on the proposed Empowered Communities Approach, for consideration as part of the report to the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee in June.

 

Comments

Background

18.     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.

19.     The purpose of the 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 the council family. 

20.     The proposed approach builds on the Thriving Communities Action Plan Ngā Hapori Momoho (April 2014).  It will bring to life the principles, focus areas and actions by providing a clear operational direction to enable implementation of the plan across council.

21.     The approach also provides an implementation framework for the High Performing Council’s special focus area ‘Engaging and Enabling Communities’. The approach could play a significant role in building best practice across the organisation in the four high performance behaviours: develop, serve, collaborate and achieve.

22.     The approach is guided by the principle of Empowered Communities: Enabling Council resulting in improved outcomes for Aucklanders. The approach identifies what will change, what council will do and enabling ways of working.  This approach was reported to local boards and the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee in April 2015. More information is provided in attachment 1.

The new operating model

23.     A primary focus for the new unit will be on working with other parts of council to provide community development support, expertise and assistance to local board projects and activities so that every opportunity for council to work in ways that are enabling of communities is maximised. There will be a shift from delivering community development activities directly to communities, to using community development practices to achieve local board and governing body aspirations.

24.     The key functions of the new operating model are to:

·    support the council to work seamlessly together at local board level

·    build community capacity and capability

·    increase diverse community input into the work of council

·    embed the approach across the whole of council and build the capacity of the organisation

·    to work in ways that  empower communities.

25.     The proposed operating model will consist of three components which together will better support the delivery of local board plans as well as address complex community issues across Auckland. These components are provisionally called: local community brokers, the community practice hub and Auckland-wide response.  

26.     The local community brokers are strategic roles. They will be co-located alongside local board services teams. They will work alongside local board advisors to support and join up the work of all departments delivering on local board outcomes and will support devolving more resources to the community. The broker’s work programme will be based on local board outcomes. The role will be tailored to meet local board and community needs and they will provide a portal into council for the community.

27.     The community practice hub consists of a dedicated team of expert practitioners with skills including community development, facilitation and project management. They will work alongside the local board teams to deliver programmes and tools, capacity building for communities, inclusive engagement and participation programmes and also provide operational support for local community brokers, local boards and across the council family.

28.     The local community brokers will work with the local board members and advisors to identify which projects offer opportunities to work in a more empowered communities way and are priorities for support from the community practice hub. The hub will then develop a work programme incorporating priorities from across local boards.

29.     If new community priorities start to emerge, the local community brokers will work with local board members and staff to agree next steps. The community practice hub will have some capacity to support work on emerging issues if they become local board priorities.

30.     The Auckland-wide response will be a team of people with specialist skills. They will work on significant and/ or complex issues that would benefit from an all of Auckland approach, internal systems and processes and barriers and activity where a regional response delivers efficiency/ effectiveness benefits.

31.     Different responses will be needed around Auckland taking into account community capacity, strength and resilience. This range of responses will need to cover those areas where there is well developed community capacity to opportunities to further development community capacity and newly formed communities.

32.     The impact of the approach will be that:

·    local boards are able to access tailored and strategic support

·    community development practice enhances the work of the whole of the council family

·    communities have more access to resources and support to do things for themselves

·    the empowered communities approach is embedded throughout the organisation.

33.     There are a number of empowering initiatives and activities, both new and existing, which could be further developed to empower communities.

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

35.     Community development and engagement is at the heart of the role of local boards. The local board plans all include a focus on developing strong communities. Proposed changes to council’s community development approach are of significant interest to local boards. 

36.     This report provides the opportunity to provide formal feedback. This will be reported to the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee on 4 June 2015.


Political Advisory Group

37.     A Political Advisory Group (PAG) has provided strategic advice and guidance to staff during the development of the empowered communities approach. 

38.     At their meeting on 16 April 2015 the PAG supported:

·    the key functions of the new unit

·    the three components of the new operating model (local community brokers, community practice hub and Auckland-wide response).

39.     Other feedback from the PAG included the need to consider the relationship with the Māori Responsiveness Framework and the need for staff to have cultural competencies. There was also discussion around whether the local community brokers should be located within Community Development and Safety or Local Board Services, and comment that local board outcomes are the same as community aspirations.

40.     Staff will report back to the PAG on 4 May with the following:

·    revised approach and model

·    approach to devolving resources

·    tools to support implementing the approach.

41.     Feedback from the PAG meeting on 4 May forms attachment 2 to this report.  However, due to the timing of this PAG, where local boards are meeting early in May this will mean the tabling of attachment 2.

Consultation and engagement

43.     The community was consulted through a limited number of community-led, and staff run, workshops around the region. Staff were also consulted.

44.     The key points from the consultation were:

·    use a high trust model that is values based

·    value what communities bring to the table

·    one size does not fit all

·    capacity building is critical and a fresh approach is required

·    a whole of council approach

·    respond to the diversity of Auckland’s communities.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

45.     The ECA aims to provide a much more active role for local boards in community development.

46.     ECA builds on the strong focus on community led planning and development in the local board plans 2014.

47.     Local board chairs met to consider ECA on 30 March. The following four principles arose from this meeting:

·    local boards need to be empowered themselves so that they can in turn empower their communities in a way that suits the area

·    local board outcomes are community outcomes and need to be central to and drive the community empowerment approach and focus under the direction of the local board.

·    community empowerment is not as simple as channelling funds through community groups, which has risks. Community empowerment is an approach and any change to the current needs to be carefully staged and made appropriate for each local board.

·    within change there are always opportunities but they carry risks which can be minimised through careful planning, full engagement of the main parties and undertaken within a timeframe that is feasible for significant change to take place.

48.     Local boards’ formal views are sought through this paper. This builds on earlier opportunities to provide informal feedback at local board workshops during April and at two workshops for local board chairs and portfolio holders.

49.     The summary feedback from the chairs and portfolio holders meeting on 20 April was:

·    the budget approach and costs associated with the proposed model are required to be able to make an informed response. There was also desire for better utilisation of the budget to achieve improved outcomes. Additionally, it was unclear how the model will deliver more resources to local boards 

·    the broker role needs to operate on a continuum that is tailored to local boards and can deliver across the continuum from those with contracted out services to communities with less capacity to take on additional services

·    the broker role bests sits in local board services but the overlap with local board advisor roles needs to be explored

·    the community practice hub services are valuable but local boards do not want to have to pitch for resources. A bottom up approach is preferred and the hub should also use resources from other areas of council and the community.  It was also unclear where the expertise exists to deliver the hub services

·    uncertainty over what the Auckland wide response team will deliver and concern that it will not deliver local board priorities.  Local boards could be supported to work collaboratively on common issues as community development is delegated to local boards.  The community brokers can collaborate to tackle the systemic issues. Regional issues should be funded by the governing body and Community and Social Policy can cover these Auckland wide issues

·    the need to respond to diverse and disempowered communities

·    the transition process was unclear and raised concerns over delivery in coming months.

There were also recurring themes from early discussions:

·    one size does not fit all

·    the model needs to focus on delivering local board priorities, which are the same as the communities’ priorities.

Māori impact statement

50.     The ECA has a direct relationship with the Māori Responsiveness Framework, which sets out two key areas of activity; the first being understanding the rights and interests of Māori. The second, and closely intertwined, is acting on the needs and aspirations of Māori.

51.     To be a High Performing Organisation a key component is engaging with and enabling communities, which means considering and understanding Māori needs and issues and having the capability and capacity to improve process and systems to enhance involvement. The approach described in this report sets out a shift in the way the organisation delivers services, which includes improving outcomes for Māori. The Council Māori Responsiveness Leadership Group has been established to enable better outcomes with Māori in the areas of cultural, social, economic effectiveness for Māori and treaty settlements and moving to a more empowered community way of working will help make progress in all these areas.  

52.     There are a number of initiatives underway which can help inform the Empowered Community Approach such the Māori Input to Decision Making project in the south of Auckland. This, and other activities being undertaken in partnership with Mana Whenau around the environment, provide strong examples of how Māori can be engaged with and participate to embed the proposed approach to communities.   

53.     Engagement with mataawaka and mana whenua is ongoing to enable staff to understand potential impacts.

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

Implementation

55.     The transition timeline is for work to be done on models and roles from now until the end of June. From July to December the approach will be implemented to meet local board needs and in 2016 as the approach matures and evolves it will be extended across the council family.

Auckland Stormwater Network Discharge Consent

Lucy Hawcroft

Janet Kidd

10.15am – 11.10am

Board members were updated on Auckland Stormwater Network Discharge consent. A report will come to formal board meeting asking for board’s feedback.

Background Information

A Network Discharge Consent is required under the Resource Management Act for the diversion and discharge of stormwater through the council’s stormwater infrastructure.   Key elements of the proposed consent are:

•         It will cover the discharges from the public stormwater network in urban areas across the Auckland region.

•         It will cover management of the existing network, as well as design of future network that is to be vested to council from development.

•         It will outline the mechanisms that are, or will be put, in place to minimise and prevent effects of the network on the community and environment.  These mechanisms include:

a.    how infrastructure upgrades to the stormwater network will be identified, prioritised, investigated and implemented, as well as

b.    the non-structural tools that will be used to manage the discharges, such education initiatives, bylaws and land-use planning as well as collaboration initiatives with key stakeholders such as your Local Board. 

•         The consent is being sought for 35 years, with a 6 year review process to align with the Long-term Plan processes.

Empowered Communities Approach 

Mark Allen

11.20am – 12.20pm

Board members were provided with the overview of ECA. It was noted that there is a need to consider provision of service over neighbouring areas – ie not necessarily board by board area and with partner organisations, the monitoring of the performance and the due diligence of compliance of the governance to best practise policies (audited accounts, regular meetings, appropriatte financial reporting, controls in place to negate opportunity to defraud) needs to be a staff member’s role – not EM. There needs to be operational policies and investment in building Elected Member knowledge and skills in working with community Trusts/societies to make the most of opportunity to empower communities. Members agree that:

·      Agree with Community Broker concept

·      Need more than one broker to have meaningful delivery

·      Need to be located at board/ in the community

·      Clarity of brokers’ role prior to commencement

·      Ideally multi-lingual

·    Position needs to be to bring different ethnic groups to work together rather in separate silos.

A report will come to May board meeting on next steps.
