New Road Name Approval for the Residential Subdivision by FL Neverland Limited at 127 Sunnyside Road, Sunnyvale

 

File No.: CP2015/09441

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Henderson-Massey Local Board, for new road names for 2 Jointly Owned Access Lots (JOALs) created by way of Subdivision at 127 Sunnyside Road, Sunnyvale.

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 Springhill Lane, Waikumete Close and Sunnyvale Way were determined to meet the road naming policy criteria.

4.       Local Iwi groups were consulted and Pani Gleeson of Ngati Whatua Orakei could not suggest any road names due to very high capacity and requests for road naming projects, but had no objection to the suggested names  of the Applicant.

5.       The name Springhill Lane, proposed by the Applicant and the names Waikumete Close and Sunnyvale Way, are recommended for approval to the Local Board.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      That the Henderson-Massey Local Board, pursuant to Section 319(1)(j), of the Local Government Act 1974, considers for approval, the Jointly Owned Access Lots (JOALs) name Springhill Lane, proposed by the Applicant, for the new Jointly Owned Access Lots (JOALs) created by way of subdivision at 127 Sunnyside Road, Sunnyvale, while noting that,  Waikumete Close and Sunnyvale Way 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 Jointly Owned Access Lots (JOALs) name for the Council’s approval.

7.       In 2012, Auckland Council approved an Application for a combined land use and subdivision consent to undertake a subdivision creating 18 residential allotments at 127 Sunnyside Road, Sunnyvale. The subdivision contains 2 Jointly Owned Access Lots (JOALs), which will provide road access to all residential allotments (Lots 21 and 22 LT 484183). The Consent holder has proposed to label the Jointly Owned Access Lots (JOALs) Springhill Lane (SUB2012-2).

 

 

 

8.       The Applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for the Jointly Owned Access Lots (JOALs) created as part of the development at 127 Sunnyside Road, Sunnyvale.

Preference

Proposed New Road Name

Meaning

Preferred Name

 

Springhill Lane

The owners of the site believe the name is in sympathy with the surrounding area and environment

First Alternative

 

Waikumete Close

This development is very close to Waikumete Cemetery

Second Alternative

Sunnyvale Way

Sunnyvale is the name of the area

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

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

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

11.     Springhill Lane, Waikumete Close and Sunnyvale Way all meet the criteria set out in the Road Naming Guidelines.

12.     As the Applicant’s preferred name (Springhill Lane) meets the criteria, it is recommended for consideration for approval while noting that the names (Waikumete Close and Sunnyvale Way) are also appropriate as they comply with all the criteria of the road naming guidelines.

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

14.     The Applicant consulted with NZ Post and the suggested names were accepted.

Māori impact statement

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

16.     The Applicant consulted with local Iwi, Pani Gleeson of Ngati Whatua Orakei, could not provide a suggested  road name due to very high capacity and requests for consultation of Road Naming Projects. But she did support the names proposed by the applicant.

Implementation

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

Henderson - Massey Local Board 2015/2016 Pools and Leisure Facilities Proposed Property Renewals

 

File No.: CP2015/10884

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       This report seeks approval from the Henderson - Massey Local Board for proposed 2015/16 property renewal capital works programme and operational work programme for Pools and Leisure Facilities.

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.

3.       The Henderson - Massey Local Board proposed property renewals programme for 2015/16 is detailed in this report as Attachment A.

4.       In the 2015/16 financial year, the Henderson - Massey Local Board’s Pools and Leisure Facilities budget is $1,720,000.

5.       The operational work programme for 15/16 will remain in line this year but Leisure is proposing to become more strategic in where and how we grow participation and activate more of the community, with a greater focus on growing those individuals and families who struggle to be active by offering new forms of membership and programme scheduling to attract and retain this key growth sector.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)   Approves the property renewals programme for 2015/2016 as listed in Attachment A

b)   Delegates responsibility to specified member/s (refer Attachment A) to approve any moderate changes to the budget or project scope, in the event that there is a variation to identified costs or facility needs for its property renewals programme.

c)   Approves the 2015/2016 Pools and Leisure operational work programme.

 

 

Comments

6.       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.

7.       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.

8.       The property renewals programme, being led by the Property Department, 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.

9.       The property renewals programme process ensures that the proposed work-lists (Attachment A) have received extensive input and assessment from both property and activity officers. The proposed property renewals programme (Attachment A) includes the name of the Pools and Leisure Facilities Representative for each of the proposed work-lists.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

10.     Council officers are seeking Local Board approval for the proposed Henderson - Massey 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

11.     The Henderson - Massey Local Board 2015/2016 proposed property renewals programme will ensure that all facilities continue to be well-maintained community assets benefiting the local community, including Māori.

Implementation

12.     Through the development of the Long Term Plan 2015-2025 (LTP) current business activities within Auckland Council were divided into seven broad activity segments to ensure alignment with the Auckland Plan. One of these activity areas is Parks, Community and Lifestyle. 

13.     The Parks, Community and Lifestyle theme includes community services, libraries, parks, recreation, and pools and leisure activities.

14.     The Pools and Leisure team have developed a property renewals strategy that aims to:

a)    prioritise work across the region to facilities most in need of renewal, do it once and do it right, with only one closure, minimising any disruption to operations; and

b)    review works across the pools and leisure portfolio and programme to identify opportunities to maximise Council’s purchasing power. 

15.     Over the course of the LTP it is proposed each facility will receive comprehensive and focussed work to bring them up to the agreed level of service. In order to achieve the proposed benefits in the renewals strategy, a regional approach must be taken to ensure:

   Funding is based on need
With limited resources every dollar needs to be invested wisely to ensure an effective renewals programme. A needs based approach ensures funding is allocated in the right areas at the right time. 

   More thorough and comprehensive scoping of works
Less likelihood of cost overruns and unforeseen project risks 

   Delivery to Levels of Service (LoS) 
Focused and consistent delivery on agreed levels of service across the region

Renewals programmes will be based on the following categories:

   Comprehensive Upgrades
Over the course of the LTP each facility receives a comprehensive upgrade therefore moving away from ad hoc component level renewals planning to a systematic programme of comprehensive upgrades across the leisure portfolio  

   Strategic Renewals
Strategic replacement of key assets to bring long term energy and maintenance savings combined with strategic procurement. For example, procuring a single provider of pool pumps and systematically replacing these creating the ability to share across the network or systematically replacing boilers with more energy efficient models to reduce energy costs

   Return on Investment initiatives
Specific funding for projects that have a strong return on investment such as the expansion of a group fitness area enabling additional membership capacity and growth.

Leisure Prioritisation Framework

16.     Although the renewals planning process, specifically for Pools and Leisure for FY15/16 (Year 1) of the LTP, has remained somewhat the same as previous years, funding has however been prioritised in part using the renewals strategy and leisure prioritisation framework as a guide for prudent asset planning and financial decision making.  

17.     Projects have been categorised using the prioritisation criteria outlined below, with the focus on addressing all major Health and Safety related issues first and then addressing any infrastructural risk or high operational risk projects.  Next year we will concentrate more on asset preservation and lower operational risk projects. 

 

Priority Ranking

Type

Criteria

1

Health & Safety

A project that if not completed will result in a breach of health & safety regulations, or present risk to people

2

High Operational/Infrastructural  risk

A project that if not complete will result in a major failure or breach of compliance needs that prevents the facility operating or a facility programme from operating

3

Asset Preservation

A project that if not complete will result in an unacceptable deterioration of the facility assets/building

4

Low Operational Risk

A project if not complete could result in a minor disruption to the operation of the facility/customer experience

5

Life-Cycle Replacement

A project that is not a 1 to 4 but is required to ensure the ongoing functionality of the asset or building

 

Leisure Operational Work Programme

18.     Leisure intends to continue to deliver the same levels of services in 2015/16 with the same operational hours and level of programming provision as was delivered previously but to become more focused and targeted with our approach to inspire more Aucklanders to be active.

19.     Leisure is proposing to become more strategic in where and how we grow participation and activate more of the community, with a greater focus on growing those individuals and families who struggle to be active by offering new forms of membership and programme scheduling to attract and retain this key growth sector.

Comments

6.       The CDAC work programme for 2015/2016 has been developed using a co-ordinated departmental approach. Each CDAC unit has aligned their projects and initiatives to the Auckland Plan directives and the Henderson-Massey Local Board plan 2014 – 2017.

7.       The CDAC work programmes align to the following 2014 – 2017 Henderson-Massey Local Board Plan priorities:

   a community where we know our neighbours, work together on issues and value diversity

   a good life for young and old

   a vital business sector that creates valued local empoloyment opportunities

   growth that is extraordinarily liveable.

8.       The CDAC work programme 2015/2016 for the Henderson-Massey Local Board includes the following areas of activity:

 Community Development and Safety: These projects include advocacy with Special Housing Area developments, neighbourhood development and community safety initatives, supporting diverse communities, strengthening the capacity of local community organisations and developing local leadership, and graffiti prevention initiatives.  Other projects include an older adults action plan, early childhood and children’s projects and youth development initiatives.

 Arts and Culture: This includes administering funding agreements with Corbans Estate Arts Centre, Pacifica Arts Centre and Watakere Central Community Arts Council as well as activating regional festivals such as Urbanesia at a local level, and an artist-designed children’s reading pod for the new Massey Westgate Community Facility and Library.  Other projects include a wall painting or temporary beautification programme in the area, and investigating iwi design opportunities within the Massey Westgate library.

 Events: This work programme includes a range of community events such as ANZAC day, citizenship ceremonies and local civic functions.  The events team also administer even support funding.

 Community Facilities: This includes the provision of social housing, community facilities and their promotion, community leasing, and supporting community-led houses to connect and deliver to local board work outcomes.  This incorporates operating and activating the Te Atatu Peninsula, Te Atatu South and Kelston community centres, capex renewals work, reviewing the operational model of Massey Community House, Wilsher Village redevelopment and development of a ‘Westgate’ community  facility.

9.       The work programme includes scoped initiatives, the allocation of budgets and established timelines. A workshop was held with the local board and CDAC staff on 14 April, to ensure activities align with the local board priorities and meet the needs of the Henderson-Massey community.

10.     CDAC’s Community Development and Safety (CDS) unit will operationalise the Empowered Communities Approach, which is part of the 2015/2016 Long-Term Plan approved on 8 May 2015 (GB/2015/31).   Broadly speaking, the changes proposed to the community development function are:

       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

       transition delivery to a more empowered communities approach.

11.     The Empowered Communities Approach model was considered by the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee at its meeting on 4 June.  This report recommends that the work programme be adopted based on current arrangements, noting that FY 2015/2016 will be a transition year for CDS.

12.     Local Boards are requested to approve the CDAC work programme for 2015/2016. CDAC staff will continue to work with relevant portfolio holders and the local board to ensure these projects are delivered and evaluated. Portfolio holders and the local board will also be consulted on the prioritisation of the community facilities renewal projects and community leases.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

13.     The draft 2015/2016 work programme was considered by the local board at a workshop on 14 April 2015. The views expressed by local board members are reflected in Attachment A.

Maori impact statement

14.     Improving Maori outcomes is a priority for the region. One of the Auckland Plan targets is to increase targeted support to Maori community development projects. The CDAC work programme aims to improve well-being among Maori living in the local board area. The focus of this CDAC work programme is to support Maori targeted initiatives.

Implementation

15.     CDAC staff will continue to meet with portfolio holders to provide updates on the work programme and ensure it is progressed in a timely way. The CDAC work programme will be implemented within the annual plan 2015/2016 budget and reported on through the quarterly reporting process.

Youth Park Concept Plan

 

File No.: CP2015/09349

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this report is to request that the Henderson-Massey Local Board adopt the concept plan for the youth park to be built in the former Birdwood Depot on the corner of Glen Road and Birdwood Roads.

Executive Summary

2.       On 17 July 2014, it was resolved by the Henderson-Massey Local Board (the Local Board):

Resolution Number HM/2014/107

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a) Agrees the outdoor youth space is the preferred option.

b) Agrees that council staff undertake a detailed cost estimate in order to proceed

to concept design for the outdoor youth space at Birdwood Depot.

CARRIED

3.       Since the resolutions made above, Council staff have continued to work together with key community stakeholders of the project, including the youth of Ranui and neighbouring suburbs, to develop a detailed project brief for the preferred option of the outdoor youth space (the ‘youth park’). This brief was tendered through a design build procurement which involved each tenderer submitting a concept plan that responded to the brief and was achievable within the project’s allocated budget.  

4.       Feedback on the concept plan of the winning tenderer (Attachment A) has been sought from the key stakeholders of the project. The response has been extremely positive and therefore Council staff are confident that the concept plan fulfils the requirement of the brief.

5.       A detailed description of the community engagement undertaken to develop the brief and then to obtain feedback on the concept plan can be found under the ‘Consideration’ section of this report.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      Adopt the concept plan for the youth park to be located on Birdwood Depot.

b)      Agree that the Local Board Chair be given delegation to approve the detailed design of the youth park on behalf of the Henderson-Massey Local Board.

 

 

Comments

6.       Feedback on the concept plan has been compiled and is attached (Attachment B). It has subsequently been reviewed by the Project Steering Committee and an outcome for each item of feedback noted. A majority proportion of the feedback will be addressed as the design develops with just a small number discounted that do not fit within the brief of this project.

7.       It is important to note that the priorities identified by youth, as listed under paragraphs 10 and 11, will continue to be of the highest importance as the design develops. The youth voice is the backbone of the success of this project and therefore the purpose of future design changes will simply be to enrich the space further through best practise design and innovation, with no compromise to play value. 

Consideration

 

8.       Given the scale of the project and the importance of the youth and community voice in its success, there has been a small team of Council staff (the ‘team’) and key community stakeholders focused on engagement with the community. The team is made up of Council staff members across four different units and representatives from Ranui 135 and Blue Light’s Ranui Social Sector Trial.

Youth voice

9.       The team facilitated a workshop with youth from Ranui 135 in March 2014 (as detailed in the 17 July 2014 report to the Local Board) at which a range of ideas for the park were collected. In order to narrow down and then prioritise these ideas, the team, along with the support of the Local Board, agreed to conduct a detailed face to face and online survey with youth from Ranui and the surrounding suburbs.

10.     405 youth were surveyed over a two month period in January 2015. 109 were from Henderson, 60 from Ranui and 54 from Massey, with the remainder being from suburbs across West Auckland.

11.     A detailed report of the youth survey results is attached (Attachment C). While the report should be referred to for exact statistics, definition of the themes and more thorough breakdowns, the key results are as follows:

Percentage split of themes across park

Sport – 35%

Play – 35%

Fitness – 20%

Hang out – 10%

Cycle hub

12.     A series of meetings has been held with the BMX, freestyle dirt jump and Cycle West representatives who are working with Council staff to develop a cycle hub immediately adjacent to Birdwood Depot. The cycle hub will have a direct interface with the youth park and have shared use of the toilet and whanau area. The team continues to work closely with the cycle hub representatives to ensure we get a positive outcome for all users of the cycle hub and youth park.

Local community

13.     A public information evening was held at a local sports club on 12 May 2015 for the community to browse the concept design at their leisure and ask any questions. All residents and ratepayers living within 1km of the park received an invitation in the mail. Posters were put up at Ranui Library, Ranui Community Centre, Starling Park Sports Club and Massey YMCA. Social media was also used to advertise the evening. Approximately 40 people turned up and were extremely complementary of the design. The feedback is recorded in Attachment B.

14.     The main concerns were in respect of the surrounding roads as follows:

- Intersection of Glen Road and Birdwood Roads is deemed dangerous;

- Cars speed along Glen Road;

-        A crown in Birdwood Road prevents a line of site to oncoming traffic when turning right out of Crows Road.

A working party with Auckland Transport has been set up to work together to address these issues.

Local Board views and implications

15.     Council staff continue to work closely with the Local Board through workshops on a two-monthly basis. This report also recommends that the Local Board Chair be given delegation to approve the detailed design of the youth park on behalf of the Local Board.

Māori impact statement

16.     Council staff are actively engaged with Te Kawerau a Maki and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei. Other iwi with interest in the area have chosen to defer to these two groups.

17.     A site visit was held in January and following this Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei chose to provide a memorandum for inclusion in the tendered brief. Both Te Kawerau a Maki and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei have noted their appreciation at being given the opportunity to input into the project from the initial design stage.

18.     Further input from Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei as recorded in attachment B will be addressed as the design develops.

Implementation

19.     The next four months will see the design developed and all consents lodged. The team will work with the Local Board, iwi groups and the Project Steering Committee to develop the detailed design based on the feedback provided in the report.

20.     Whilst the toilet block is planned to be constructed next month, the majority of work will start in spring and be completed by the end of April 2016.

Fourth quarter - Final allocations

 

File No.: CP2015/11546

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       To enable the Henderson-Massey Local Board to allocate budget that has not been fully utilised in the 2014/15 financial year.

Executive Summary

2.       Henderson-Massey Local Board has not fully utilised $35,000 of its budget for the 2014/15 financial year.  This is made up as follows:

Youth Connections                                                                                  $10,000

Henderson-Massey Local Board Discretionary Fund     $25,000

3.       The $10,000 Youth Connections budget was allocated to an employment hub at Hoani Waititi Marae in resolution HM/2015/50 on 19 March 2015.  Staff advise that the employment hub project is still in the scoping stage and further funding is not required in the 2014/15 financial year. Staff recommend reallocating the $10,000 to the Ranui Community House Society Incorporated for application toward CareersNZ ‘Work Inspirations’, which is another Youth Connections project, subject to final approval from the Chairman of the Henderson-Massey Local Board.

4.       The $25,000 Henderson-Massey Local Board Discretionary Fund has not been fully utilised. Staff have advised that $25,000 is required by the Henderson Lincoln Business Association for project management and communications fees to 30 June 2015.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      Allocates a grant of $10,000 to the Ranui Community House Society Incorporated utilising the remaining Youth Connections budget (Employment Hub at Hoani Waititi Marae), subject to final approval from the Chairman of the Henderson-Massey Local Board.
