File No.: CP2015/13352
Purpose
1. This report provides an update on local transport matters over the last month for the Manurewa Local Board (MLB).
Executive Summary
2. This report contains a general monthly update on transport matters both locally and from across Auckland and a list of issues currently being addressed by Auckland Transport for the MLB.
That the Manurewa Local Board: a) Receives this report
|
Responding to Resolutions
3. Auckland Transport’s response to the resolutions that require a specific answer made by the MLB at previous meetings.
Resolution number MR/2015/100
f) That the Manurewa Local Board request that the results of the petition from the Redoubt Ridge Environmental Action Group regarding Graham Cheeseman’s Bush be made available to the Manurewa Local Board along with the response from Auckland Transport.

g) That the Manurewa Local Board request the designs for the pedestrian crossings relating to the Hill Road beautification come to a full board workshop.
5. Auckland Transport has noted this resolution and is keen to confirm with the MLB all the projects currently being investigated will be brought back to workshops with all members.
6. All the MLB’s current projects are of a size and scale that the Members will need to be regularly kept informed of progress. While preparing this report the team working on the designs was contacted. The team is working hard to the designs ready for consultation and expects to be at this stage by September or October 2015.
Discussion
Long Term Plan
9. On Thursday 25 June 2015 Auckland Council adopted its 2015-2025 Long Term Plan.
10. Adoption of the plan sets Auckland Council’s planned budget for ten years in outline and the next three in detail. It also confirms Auckland Council’s commitment to the Regional Land Transport Programme.
11. This ‘programme’ is the combined plan for Auckland Transport, New Zealand Transport Agency, and KiwiRail for the next ten years. Auckland Transport has worked closely with these other agencies in the development of this document, which will be formally ratified by the Boards of these organisations over the next month.
12. In the Long Term Plan Auckland Council has committed to funding Auckland Transport’s ‘Accelerated Programme’ instead of the ‘Basic Programme’. By funding this programme Auckland Council is maintaining its commitment to transport in Auckland.
13. Auckland Transport’s budget for most of this Financial Year (14/15) was $733,000,000 which was further increased during the year to $751,000,000. Auckland Transport’s actual spend is likely to be approx. $710,000,000. Next Financial Year’s budget is now confirmed as $620 million. The ‘Accelerated Programme’ roughly maintains the status quo and allows the delivery of a number of projects that would not have been delivered in the ‘Basic Programme’.
14. Detailed planning is still being completed but the full details of planned work will be provided to Local Board Members in the near future. Some key pieces of work that can now start to be delivered in the 15/16 Financial Year include:
· The development of an approx. $21,000,000 bus rail interchange at Manukau;
· Completion of a total of approx. $2,000,000 worth of cycleways in Weymouth, Alfriston and Browns Roads;
· Development of better High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes between Manukau and Manurewa;
· Improvements at Manurewa Station including gates and the possibility of extending the canopy to meet the covered walkway being funded by the Manurewa Local Board; and
· Improving safety by:
o Building two roundabouts for approx. $225,000 on Shifnal Drive;
o Improving the Myers Road / Scott Road Intersection with traffic calming treatments for approx. $30,000; and
o Improving the Great South Road / Orams Road Intersection for approx. $100,000
Rail Reliability
15. Rail reliability has been an issue in recent months. In April 2015, 746 trains (7 per cent of services) were cancelled and average lateness per train was 2.6 minutes
16. This issue has been raised at all levels of Auckland Transport including with Auckland Transport’s Board. The reasons for the delays have been publically discussed and include:
· The phasing out of the old diesel locomotives that are at the end of their life cycles;
· Conversion training of drivers takes time;
· Emergency incidents; and
· General teething problems with operating a completely new set of trains and rail network management system.
17. April 2015 was particularly bad because there were also a large number of emergency services incidents, including two fatalities and one when an overhead line fell in high winds.
18. May 2015 saw improved punctuality at 80.3% compared to 77% in March and April 2015. However, this was still lower than the 84% achieved in May 2014 and below both the 12-month average and the organisation’s target of 85%.
19. Reliability in May 2015 was 95% which is below the 12-month figure of 96.3% and below the organisation’s target of 98%. Reliability in May 2014 was 96.3%.
20. Auckland Transport is taking this issue seriously and everything possible is being done to improve the situation until the City Rail Link removes the ‘bottle neck’ in the centre of the network that significantly reduces the network’s resilience.
21. The Auckland Transport is keen to come and speak directly with the MLB. The Auckland Transport Board is well aware of the situation and is being briefed. A plan for improving rail performance is being tabled at the Board’s July 2015 meeting. Scheduling a workshop after the Board meeting seems like a good opportunity to provide accurate up-to-date information.
Mill Road
22. One of Auckland Transport’s largest projects in the MLB area is the redevelopment and improvement of Mill Road. Public submissions to Auckland Council about Auckland Transport’s Notice of Requirement (NoR) application for safeguarding the route were open from 17 April to 26 May.
23. The consultation was run by Auckland Council but they have provided the following figures; for information:
· 286 submissions were received;
· 20 of the 300 directly affected properties made a submission; and
· 216 of the submissions were pro-forma submission in opposition to the proposal.
Great South Road Corridor Management Plans (CMPs)
18. Auckland Transport has been undertaking a refresh of the CMP for Great South Road in the Takanini area to take account of the works at the Takanini Interchange undertaken by NZTA.
19. A CMP is not a detailed plan but outlines the types of planning that may be needed so that agencies can start planning budgets and work programmes in a coordinated way as early as possible. CMPs are strategic documents designed to provide a 30 year framework for agencies working to maintain and improve transport along broad ‘corridors’ of movement.
20. A CMP workshop was planned on 26 May 2015. This workshop could not take place and another date is currently being set.
Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF):
21. MLB has a total pool of $2,392,297 available in this electoral term that can be spent on transport projects.
22. In this electoral term the MLB has identified six projects that are being investigated. Details of the projects and there status are included in Attachment A.
23. In the last month progress has been made in the following areas:
· The project to upgrade Wiri Station Road is now in ‘Detailed Design’;
· At last month’s meeting the MLB authorized release of funds for ‘Detailed Design’ to commence on the ‘Arts and Plants’ and ‘Great South Road Pedestrianisation’ projects.
· The ‘Covered Walkway’ that is intended to link South Mall and the railway station is currently being worked through ‘Detailed Design’.

Summary of Manurewa Local Board Transport Capital Fund Projects
2013 - 2016 Electoral Term
Projects Submitted |
Description |
Current Status |
New Footpaths in Manurewa
|
Improvements to the footpaths on Wiri Station Road |
Construction authorized in April 2015. Auckland Transport has provided a Rough Order of Cost (ROC) of $103,000 for delivery of this project. The original proposal was modified and at the April 2015 Local Board meeting the Board resolved to accept and deliver a new option that involves providing pedestrian facilities at the signalised intersection of Wiri Station and Ash Road and having pedestrians cross to the north side of Wiri Station Road the Final Cost Estimate (FCE) of which is $103,000. |
Traffic calming options William Avenue and Kirton Crescent |
Installing a traffic calming scheme in William Avenue and Kirton Crescent |
In Januray 2015 the Manurewa Local Board requested investigation of traffic calming options in William Avenue and Kirton Crescent. Auckland Transport has completed investigations and reported back. This project would require approximately eight speed humps to meet AT Code of Practice standards The ROC is $180,000 At the April Manurewa Local Board meeting the the members decided to defer a decision on whether to proceed with the project until further consultation has been carried out. After advice from Auckland Transport that comprehensive consultation would be better informed after detailed design has been completed the Manurewa Local Board decided to authorize expenditure for detailed design at the June 2015 Local Board meeting. |
Arts and Plants |
Creating a pedestrian and cycle link to Nathan Homestead and Auckland Botanical Gardens. Projects under investigation include: a new shared path, seating, new informative signage and safe crossing treatments. |
Auckland Transport has provided a ROC of $858,283 In December 2014 the Manurewa Local Board authorized Auckland Transport to start detailed design. During the design process some issues have arisen and a new plan was presented to the Town Centre Project Steering Group on 14 April 2014. The Town Centre Project Steering Group did not believe the design met the Manurewa Local Board’s intent and further discussion is required. A meeting with Manurewa Local Board, Richard Knott and Auckland Transport to explore options took place on Friday 15 May 2015. At the meeting consensus was reached and a proposed option supported by all parties was presented to the Town Centre Improvement Project Steering Group on Tuesday 19 May 2015. The new option was supported by the Steering Group and at the June 2015 Manurewa Local Board meeting the detailed design was authorized.
|
Great South Road/Railway station connectivity |
This project will incorporate a range of practical opportunities to better link Great South Road and the Train Station. Potential improvements include: Easier movement through South Mall, wayfinding signage and real-time commuter information. |
Auckland Transport has provided a ROC of $75,000 In December 2014 the Manurewa Local Board authorized Auckland Transport to start detailed design. The project has been broken into components for simplicity of reporting: · Signage/Route information – Auckland Transport is leading a cross-council project to identify a multi-modal single signage system for the region. Decisions around definitive regional signage should be taken by early 2016. Auckland Transport expects Manurewa will be in a position to install the new signage in the first quarter of 2016. · Commuter information – Currently working through procurement options. In summary delivery of this project is dependent on other work streams so is likely to be next year. However, at the meeting held on on Friday 15 May 2015 the matter of tying Auckland Transport’s regional signage project into delivery of the improvements to the Manukau Town Centre and the route from there to the Botanic Gardens was discussed and was confirmed.
|
Covered Walkway |
Building a weather-proof cover on the station overbridge and across the SouthMall car park to link the station the mall and Great South Road. |
Auckland Transport has provided a ROC of $1,430,000 The contract for preliminary design was awarded Auckland Transport presented drawings and preliminary design to the Town Centre Project Steering Group on 14 April 2015.The steering group was comfortable with how this project is progressing and it was agreed that the detailed design should be authorized by the Local Board. At the May 2015 Manurewa Local Board meeting a resolution authorizing commitment of the funds and requesting detailed design start was passed by the Board. |
Great South Road (GSR) pedestrianisation |
The Board is investigating a range of options for making Great South Road, Manurewa more pedestrian-friendly. Improvements may include: Building a gateway to Manurewa and enhanced pedestrian crossing facilities.
|
Auckland Transport has provided a ROC of $387,730 During the design process some issues have arisen and a new plan was presented to the Town Centre Project Steering Group on 14 April 2014. A number of the proposed treatments are not appropriate given Great South Road is an over-dimensional route. Auckalnd Transport engineers are investigating what treatments or alternative options are possible with the aim of “a more pedestrian-friendly Manurewa”. The Town Centre Project Steering Group did not believe the design met the Manurewa Local Board’s intent and further discussion is required. A meeting with Manurewa Local Board, Richard Knott and Auckland Transport to explore options took place on Friday 15 May 2015. At the meeting consensus was reached and a proposed option supported by all parties was presented to the Town Centre Improvement Project Steering Group on Tuesday 19 May 2015. The new option was supported by the Steering Group and at the June 2015 Manurewa Local Board meeting the detailed design was authorized.

File No.: CP2015/11194
Purpose
1. The purpose of this report is to seek local board approval to formally name Adams Park located 124 & 126 Maich Road Manurewa. Manurewa Local Board has delegated authority for the naming of local parks in Manurewa.
Executive Summary
2. Sheryl Burns (nee Turner) has requested that Adams Park be formally named Turner Park after the Turner family who had a longstanding association to the immediate neighbourhood.
3. 124 and 126 Maich Road was informally named Adams Park. The name was taken from the road that the park has a predominant frontage, Adams Road.
4. It is classified as a Recreation Reserve and is 4,340 m2 in size
5. The Neighbourhood Parks Management Plan for Manurewa was adopted in 2005 under Manukau City Council. The plan details improvement opportunities for Adams Park including formal naming & signage opportunity.
6. Naming of Parks policy notes the following criteria in descending order of priority
(i) Name of the person or family gifting the land to the public
(ii) Original Maori name
(iii) Name of a previous land owner of long standing
(iv) Name relating to natural or historic feature of the site
(v) Name relating to an event, person or association related to the general area or neighbourhood
(vi) Name of person, family or organisation in recognition of civic or community contribution
(vii) Name of locality
7. Local Iwi have been consulted through the naming process and feedback was received. They have suggested alternative names but none of them related to an original name as per the policy criteria.
That the Manurewa Local Board resolve to: a) formally name 124 & 126 Maich Road, Turner Park. b) allocate $2,000 for park name signage to formalise the naming resolution. c) consider opportunities to incorporate the names suggested by iwi to other parks and reserves in Manurewa.
|
Comments
8. The Turner Family had over 90 year’s association with the immediate area of Adams Park. Bert Turner was the first member of the family to move into Maich Road & built a house on what is now 139 Maich Road in the early 1920s. Bert was a local dog ranger & helped build the first swimming pool at Manurewa Central School. In the years following his children (Charles & David) and grandchildren grew up and were well known in the area. Only recently the last of the family have moved out of Maich Road ending the families association with the area.
Consideration
Local Board views and implications
9. The process for naming of parks requires a formal report to the local board for a decision.

Comments
3. On 21 July 1919 a commemorative row of 17 trees was planted in Hall Road, Manurewa, as part of the town’s peace celebrations. 15 of the trees were planted in honour of young men from the district who had given their lives during the war by local dignitaries or by relatives or friends of the deceased. One was planted by Mrs H. Brown, President of the Victoria League, in honour of Nurse Edith Cavell and other nurses. One was planted by local businessman Mr E.S. Pegler as a ‘peace tree’.
4. Over the years, most of the trees died or were removed. The last survivors were lost in the late 1950s when Hall Road was extended to Claude Road. Hall Road was later renamed Halver Road.

1.4 Manurewa Town Centre value proposition and brand
|
||
Background |
||
Introduction
This project will develop a Manurewa Town Centre value proposition and brand that can be articulated to a range of audiences, in order to stimulate further investment and interest in Manurewa. This project is an initiative identified in the draft Manurewa Local Economic Development (ED) Action Plan as Action 1.4.
This project is part of the commercial/economic workstream of the Manurewa Town Centre initiative (Phase 1) that has been led by the Manurewa Local Board. The town centre initiative builds on work done as part of the development of the Manurewa Town Centre Concept Plan 2003 and Strategic Review 2009 and includes a steering team and workstreams as follows:
• Commercial & Economic
• Design and appearance
• Transport
• Arts & Culture.
Each workstream is at various stages of implementation and reports monthly to a project steering group. A Phase II Revitalisation Project is also now underway and reports jointly at the steering group with Phase 1.
The town centre initiative will provide a catalyst for continued regeneration and evolution of the town centre. Actions identified so far include a series of proposed improvements to the town centre streetscape, improved linkages to the rail station and towards Auckland Botanical Gardens.
As part of the commercial/economic workstream there are three projects. Summary scopes have been developed for the two other projects, namely:
1. Develop an investment prospectus for Manurewa Town centre to generate enquiries from commercial tenants and commercial property investors/developers (Action 1.5)
2. Establish closer relationships with current and future landlords/property investors through the development of a programme to easily identify and engage with landlords/property investors (Action 1.6).
Each of the three projects are linked and should be undertaken sequentially, starting with the value proposition and branding project. The commercial/economic workstream is led by Manurewa Business Association (MBA), working closely with Manurewa Local Board and Southmall. Project management is provided by Auckland Council organisation’s Local Economic Development team.
It is proposed that the ownership of the ‘brand’ for Manurewa Town Centre will be retained by MBA, as the most-suited organisation to hold it. Deliverables would then be written into the MBA Annual Plan each year, to ensure protection/use of the brand on behalf of the stakeholders who invested into its development.
It is important to note that this project will develop a value proposition and brand for Manurewa Town Centre and not for MBA, which already has its own established and recognised brand.
It is envisaged that this project will commence July 2015 and be delivered within the 2015/16 financial year (year 1 of the draft Manurewa Local ED Action Plan).

• Commercial & Economic
• Design and appearance
• Transport
• Arts & Culture.
Each workstream is at various stages of implementation and reports monthly to a project steering group. A Phase II Revitalisation Project is also now underway and reports jointly at the steering group with Phase 1.
The town centre initiative will provide a catalyst for continued regeneration and evolution of the town centre. Actions identified so far include a series of proposed improvements to the town centre streetscape, improved linkages to the rail station and towards Auckland Botanical Gardens.
As part of the commercial/economic workstream there are three projects. Summary scopes have been developed for the two other projects, namely:
1. Develop a Manurewa Town Centre value proposition and brand that can be articulated to a range of audiences, in order to stimulate further investment and interest in Manurewa (Action 1.4)

The commercial/economic workstream is led by Manurewa Business Association (MBA), working closely with Manurewa Local Board and Southmall. Project management is provided by Auckland Council organisation’s Local Economic Development team.
It is envisaged that this project will commence during 2016/17 (year 2 of the draft Manurewa Local ED Action Plan) and be delivered over two financial years. This is to ensure time to research and establish relationships with current and future landlords and develop programmes. It is hoped that this project will continue beyond year 2, becoming part of MBA’s business as usual activities outlined in the MBA business plan and future strategic plans.

Community Facilities Network Plan
File No.: CP2015/11263
Purpose
1. Seek the Manurewa Local Board’s support for the draft Community Facilities Network Plan (Attachment A) and associated draft Action Plan (Attachment B).
Executive Summary
2. Community facilities are vital to local communities as they provide space where people can connect, socialise, learn and participate, and contribute to improved lifestyles and sense of belonging, identity and pride among residents.
3. The draft Community Facilities Network Plan (the network plan) is a long-term aspirational plan to guide council’s investment in the provision of community facilities over the next 20 years. It introduces a more holistic approach to the planning and provision of community facilities to keep pace with Auckland’s growing and diverse population, fill gaps in provision and ensure existing facilities are fit for purpose. The aspiration is to deliver strategically placed and integrated community facilities.
4. The scope includes arts and culture facilities, community centres, libraries, pools and leisure centres and venues for hire (community and rural halls). The network plan provides direction on optimisation, major upgrades of existing facilities, development of new facilities and potential divestment of facilities no longer meeting community needs.
5. The strategic direction articulated in the network plan will be implemented by a comprehensive set of actions in the long-term draft Action Plan. To focus resource in the short term (1-3 years), actions have been prioritised. Actions with funding in the first five years of the Long-term Plan 2015-2025 will be progressed first, along with network priority actions in spatial priority areas and actions with opportunities for optimisation. For each action local boards will be closely involved in determining the best response to meet community need and aspirations.
6. The network plan has been developed through an extensive process involving several rounds of engagement and input from local boards. Most recently a revised draft network plan was discussed with local boards through workshops in March and April 2015. The majority of local boards were supportive. Discussions with local boards at the workshops have resulted in some changes to the network plan as outlined in this report.
7. After reporting to local boards, the next step is to seek the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee’s approval of the network plan and draft Action Plan in August 2015.
That the Manurewa Local Board: a) support the draft Community Facilities Network Plan and associated draft Action Plan to guide council’s investment in the provision of community facilities b) note that local board views will be reported to the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee in August 2015.
|
Background
8. The network plan has been developed with cross departmental collaboration. The plan is informed by a review of current state and research from New Zealand and comparative international cities. Key milestones in the development of the network plan have been:

Comment
9. Aligned with the Auckland Plan, local board plans and relevant strategic action plans, the network plan articulates why council provides community facilities.
10. Community facilities contribute to building strong, healthy and vibrant communities by providing space where people can connect, socialise, learn and participate in a range of social, cultural, art and recreational activities. Community facilities contribute to improved lifestyles and a sense of belonging, identity and pride among residents.
11. The network plan identifies the challenges and opportunities for future community facility provision. Challenges include gaps and duplication in current provision, fit for purpose issues, increasing costs of maintaining the network and a growing and diversifying population. Opportunities include greater integration in the planning and delivery of community facilities, partnership opportunities and optimisation opportunities.
12. Four objectives articulate a new approach for the provision of community facilities which respond to these challenges and opportunities:
· work across all types of community facilities in integrated and coordinated planning and ensure future decisions are based on clear and robust evidence;
· maintain, improve and make the best use of our existing network of community facilities where these continue to meet community needs;
· focus investment on developing fit for purpose, integrated and connected community facilities; and
· explore opportunities to leverage and support partnerships with other providers.
13. The provision frameworks in the network plan outline the objectives, functions and provision approach for each type of community facility. This will guide the identification of gaps in the network and the types of spaces required to deliver fit for purpose facilities and respond to growth.
14. The long-term draft Action Plan lists actions to investigate potential gaps in the network and existing facilities with performance issues. A fundamental component for implementation is integrated and holistic planning across all types of community facilities, including those facilities outside council’s network. Each action will require detailed investigation, involving the local board and the community, to determine the appropriate response. The network plan includes detailed guidelines which can be adapted to guide the investigation process.
15. Local boards will play a significant role in determining the appropriate response for facilities or needs in their area. The governing body will make final decisions on the acquisition, divestment or major upgrades of community and allocation of funding over $1 million.
16. There are over 100 actions in the long-term draft Action Plan, and these will be implemented over time within the available resource and financial constraints. Actions have been assessed to determine those that are network priorities (highlighted in blue in the draft Action Plan). In the short-term, actions with capital funding in the first five years of the Long-term Plan 2015-2025 will be progressed first, along with network priority actions in spatial priority areas and actions with opportunities for optimisation.
Consideration
Local Board views and implications
17. There have been several rounds of engagement with local boards during the development of the network plan. Most recently a revised draft network plan (with libraries included) was discussed with local boards through workshops in March and April 2015. The majority of local boards were supportive of the revised network plan, in particular the:
· vision, outcomes and objectives for community facilities;
· move towards integrated and holistic planning and the evidence based approach to community facility development;
· aspiration to develop more connected and integrated facilities and opportunities to pilot this approach at existing facilities; and
· strategic improvements outlined in the Action Plan.
18. The following table outlines key themes from local board feedback and the associated response or amendments to the network plan.
Local Board Feedback |
Response OR Amendments |
Scope · Scope of the network plan does not include all community leases, sports clubs and non-council facilities that perform similar functions as council-owned community facilities. |
· The network plan acknowledges the importance of all community facilities in meeting community needs. Section 1.2 explains not all leased and non-council facilities are listed in the plan as they are bound by lease terms or they are not in council’s jurisdiction. · Section 1.2 of the network plan has been amended to clarify what it means for facilities to be included in scope. · Section 1.3 outlines the approach to consider all community facilities in the implementation of the network plan. · New action added to investigate and plan for the provision of leased facilities. |
Prioritisation weightings · Some boards felt the actions relating to gaps are given advantageous weighting over actions for existing facilities. · Some boards felt established areas of the region are disadvantaged against new growth areas. · Some boards felt spatial priorities are given too much weighting when not all boards support the concept. · Boards felt weighting for local board priority was too low. |
· Section 5.2 (prioritisation) has been amended so the purpose is to determine which actions are network priorities. · The criteria and weighting now focus on three components: network importance (40%), community importance (40%) and building condition (20%). · Local board priority has the highest weighting within community importance. |
Implementation approach · Clarity on local board and community involvement in the implementation process. · Investigation process needs to be adaptable for different communities. · Clarity on the application of the new empowered communities approach to community facilities. |
· Section 5.1 articulates how the Network Plan and Action Plan will be implemented, including emphasis on local board and community involvement in this process. · Strategic improvement action will develop tools to implement the new empowered community approach to community facilities planning and development. |
Wording and action amendments · Number of requests to amend wording of specific sections and actions. |
· Minor wording amendments have been made to the network plan and Action Plan to address feedback and improve clarity. · Action Plan has been updated to reflect any recent progress. |
Māori impact statement
19. Section 2.2 of the network plan outlines how council will implement the Maori Responsiveness Framework in relation to the planning and development of community facilities.
20. The provision of community facilities contributes to improving wellbeing among Maori communities by providing spaces to connect, socialise, learn skills and participate. Maori are users of all types of council’s community facilities. At aquatic facilities Maori make up 14% of users (compared to 9% of the population), 11% of leisure facility users and 9% of community centre users. Maori are under-represented as users at arts and culture facilities compared to the Auckland population.
21. The implementation of the network plan should improve provision and accessibility for the benefit of all Aucklanders, including Maori. The strategic improvement action to undertake research on non-users will help understand why some sectors of the population are under-represented as users of community facilities. This research should also provide useful information on improving accessibility and addressing barriers for non-users and under-represented sectors of the population.
22. The broader picture of community facility provision recognises that marae and kohanga reo are important social infrastructure for Maori and the community. Officers from Te Waka Angamua are scoping a project to address the future provision and development of marae facilities. Opportunities for aligned provision and/or partnerships with marae facilities will be considered in the implementation of the Community Facilities Network Plan.
Implementation
23. The Community Facilities Network Plan is aspirational and provides a road-map for council’s investment in community facilities over the next 20 years. The ability and timeframe to implement the network plan and associated actions is dependent on the level of budget allocated for community facility planning and development through future LTP and Annual Plan processes. The current tight fiscal environment means council needs to focus its attention on the greatest need. This plan provides direction for council to ensure the city gets the right facility in the right place at the right time.
24. A detailed implementation plan is being developed with cross-department collaboration. The implementation plan will address coordinating implementation across the different departments, progressing individual actions and reporting on implementation.
25. The draft Action Plan will be reviewed on an annual basis to reflect progress and re-evaluate priorities where necessary. Local boards have requested annual updates on the implementation progress.

Manukau Harbour Forum: Legislative Change Requiring Agreement by Resolution
File No.: CP2015/11648
Purpose
1. To request that the Manurewa Local Board resolve on recommendations made by the Manukau Harbour Forum regarding membership and delegations to the forum. This is to ensure that the forum has a valid agreement between all nine member boards in place prior to 31 July 2015 to comply with recent changes to the Local Government Act 2002.
Executive Summary
2. In 2014 amendments were made to the Local Government Act 2002 that affect the Manukau Harbour Forum as a joint committee of nine local boards.
3. The forum’s existing terms of reference do not cover all the requirements under the amended legislation, as the resolutions from each member board adopting the terms of reference and establishing the forum need to be the same, i.e. showing agreement between all nine boards.
4. In light of the above, in order for the forum to exist after 31 July 2015 all member boards will need to show agreement by resolution on the following:
i) The number of members each local board may appoint to the joint committee;
ii) How the joint committee chairperson and deputy chairperson are to be appointed;
iii) The terms of reference of the joint committee;
iv) What responsibilities are to be delegated to the joint committee by each appointee local board; and
v) The process for amending the agreement.
5. At its business meeting of 8 June 2015 the forum resolved as follows:
b) Requests that this report be forwarded on to the nine member boards recommending that each board:
i) Appoints one named member and one named alternate member to the Manukau Harbour Forum
ii) Confirms that the chairperson and deputy chairperson of the Manukau Harbour Forum will be elected by a majority of members at the first meeting of each electoral term
iii) Confirms the revised Terms of Reference for the Manukau Harbour Forum as appended to Agenda reports
iv) Delegates authority to the Manukau Harbour Forum to make decision within its terms of reference noting that any significant or controversial decisions will only be made by the forum with the confirmation by resolution of all the member boards that would be affected by the decision.
v) Confirms that any changes to this agreement will be agreed first by the Manukau Harbour Forum then recommended to the nine member boards for their approval, noting that resolutions must be identical
vi) Notes that in order for the nine member boards to agree on this new binding agreement for the Manukau Harbour Forum, the resolutions made in respect of recommendations b) i)-v) above (with the exception of b) i) where appointees must be named) must be identical and that in the absence of identical resolutions by all member boards the Forum will not meet the requirements under clause 30a of Schedule 7 to the Local Government Act 2002.
6. A copy of the revised terms of reference is appended as Attachment A.
That the Manurewa Local Board: a) agrees with the recommendations of the Manukau Harbour Forum and resolves to: i) appoint one named member and one named alternate member to the Manukau Harbour Forum ii) confirm that the chairperson and deputy chairperson of the Manukau Harbour Forum will be elected by a majority of members at the first meeting of each electoral term iii) confirm the revised Terms of Reference for the Manukau Harbour Forum as appended to Agenda reports iv) delegate authority to the Manukau Harbour Forum to make decisions within its terms of reference, noting that any significant or controversial decisions will only be made by the forum with the confirmation by resolution of all the member boards that would be affected by the decision and that the local board will reserve the right to hold and promote a different view to that of the forum on any issue that may impact the Manurewa Local Board area. v) confirm that any changes to this agreement will be agreed first by the Manukau Harbour Forum then recommended to the nine member boards for their approval, noting that resolutions must be identical vi) note that in order for the requirements of this new agreement for the Manukau Harbour Forum to be reached, the resolutions of each of the nine member boards made in respect of recommendations a) (i)-(v) above (with the exception of a) (i) where appointees are to be named) must be identical and that in the absence of identical resolutions by all member boards the Forum will not meet the requirements under clause 30a of Schedule 7 to the Local Government Act 2002.
|
Discussion
7. In 2014 amendments were made to the Local Government Act 2002, in particular Schedule 1AA Clause 5 reads as follows:
Requirement to enter into agreement under clause 30A of Schedule 7
(1) This clause applies to a local authority that appointed a joint committee under clause 30(1)(b) of Schedule 7 before the date of commencement of clause 30A of Schedule 7 if that committee remains in existence after that date.
(2) The local authority must, within 12 months of the date of commencement of clause 30A of Schedule 7, enter into an agreement under that clause with every other local authority or public body that has appointed members to that joint committee.
(3) If an agreement under clause 30A of Schedule 7 is not entered into within the period specified in subclause (2), the joint committee is deemed to be discharged by the local authority.
(4) Nothing in this clause applies if the joint committee referred to in subclause (1) was constituted or continued by, or required to be constituted or continued by, an enactment other than this Act.
8. Each of the Manukau Harbour Forum’s member boards previously resolved varying membership and delegations (Attachment B). The Act requires agreement by resolution which means all resolutions from the boards need to be the same.
9. Analysis has been undertaken by Auckland Council’s legal services team as to whether the boards at the time of establishment covered all the necessary points within the legislation (Attachment C). This analysis shows that the requirements of the legislation for agreements in regard to joint committees have not been met and the member boards will need to pass new resolutions to satisfy all the requirements of the amendments to the Act.
10. The Forum’s resolutions of 8 June 2015, based on advice from staff, were intended to keep these provisions as close as possible to what has been previously agreed by the majority of member boards.
11. At the same meeting, the forum also took the opportunity to make a number of minor revisions to its terms of reference, which staff had been working on in consultation with the forum following a workshop on 13 April, at which this issue was originally raised with the Forum.
12. It is important note that unless this new agreement comes into effect on or before 31 July 2015, the forum will technically cease to exist. In order to achieve this, the recommendations must be resolved, in full and unamended, by all nine member boards.
Consideration
Local Board Views and Implications
13. Local boards have previously agreed, through adoption of the forum’s terms of reference, that the Manukau Harbour is a regional asset and it was appropriate that Local Boards will collectively contribute to strategies and outcomes that enhance the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of the harbour. The forum has been seen as an effective mechanism to achieve this.
14. The role of the forum is to champion the sustainable management of the Manukau Harbour and adjacent communities. It developed a vision and strategy in line with this which was adopted in September 2014.
15. The forum has no budget allocated to projects and relies on the member boards to fund projects for its work programme.
Maori Impact Statement
16. Workshops of the Manukau Harbour Forum were held on 13 April and 8 June 2015 to discuss the ongoing role of mana whenua in relation to the forum. Some minor changes were made to the forum’s terms of reference as a result of this to reflect the forum’s obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi, and its desire to work with mana whenua on an ongoing basis.
17. The forum anticipates receiving further advice and options regarding the formalisation of its relationship with mana whenua.
Implementation Issues
18. The new agreement must be entered into by all member boards prior to 31 July 2015.

Manukau Harbour Forum Joint Committee – Terms of Reference
1. Introduction
The formation of a forum to champion the sustainable management of the Manukau
Harbour and adjacent communities has arisen through the collective aspirations of
local boards bordering the harbour itself. Local Boards have a statutory responsibility
and are democratically accountable for identifying and communicating the interests
and preferences of the people in their Local Board area in relation to the content of
the strategies, policies, plans, and bylaws of the Auckland Council.
The Manukau Harbour is a regional taonga/treasure for all the peoples of Auckland. It is therefore appropriate that Local Boards collectively contribute to strategies and
outcomes that restore and enhance the well-being of the harbour itself.
2. Background / Context
Prior to November 2010, agencies generally approached issues of community
concern in alignment with the previous local authority boundaries, and somewhat
independently in each area. Five legacy territorial authorities and the Auckland
Regional Council had a direct interest in the harbour due to proximity. Under the
Auckland Council, the following local boards[1] share a boundary with the harbour:
· Waitakere Ranges
· Whau
· Puketapapa
· Maungakiekie-Tamaki
· Otara-Papatoetoe
· Mangere-Otahuhu
· Manurewa
· Papakura
· Franklin
There is sufficient commonality of issues and interests, for synergies to be gained
from a sub-regional approach to advocacy in relation to the management of the
Manukau Harbour. This is also supported by the legislative imperative for local
boards to work together where the interests and preferences of communities within
each local board area will be better served by doing so.
Likely benefits of such an alliance are early identification of and response to
emerging issues, a more cohesive approach to multi-causal problems, and greater
efficiency and effectiveness of planning and interventions. These benefits are
particularly pertinent planning matters relating to:
· Auckland Council’s statutory obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi
· The Auckland Plan and the Unitary Plan
· The Annual Plan and the Long-term Plan (LTP)
· The Waitakere Ranges Heritage Area Act 2008
· The 1990 Manukau Harbour Action Plan
· National Policy Statements and National Environmental Standards
· The activities of CCOs in relation to the harbour and the coastal environment
· Other harbour and coastal ownership and management issues
3. Purpose
The purpose of the Manukau Harbour Forum is to provide for a means of collective
Local Board advocacy on issues affecting the Manukau Harbour, and the adjacent
foreshore. Issues to be addressed by the Forum may include:
· Restoration of the health and wellbeing of the Manukau Harbour
· The role of Mana Whenua in relation to the Manukau Harbour
· A unified management-approach to the Manukau Harbour
· Advocacy on issues related to both natural and human activities affecting the harbour foreshore
· Wastewater and stormwater discharges
· The strategic removal of mangroves and Pacific oysters
· Coastal erosion mitigation opportunities
· The enhancement of marine and coastal habitats that assist with increased
Biodiversity
· The preservation of sustainable commercial and recreational fisheries within
the harbour
· The protection of Maui’s Dolphin and other species
· Catchments and tributary streams that flow into the harbour
· Access to the harbour
· The role of the port operation at Onehunga
4. Principles
The Forum is in principle collectively accountable to the wider community for
supporting the development and delivery of the community’s vision in relation to the
Manukau Harbour. In practice, individual members are accountable to their own
boards and to the constituents whose interests they represent.
The Forum:
· Is strategic, not operational
· Deals only with matters where collaboration and synergy add value (it does
not duplicate what already exists, or deal with matters that are better dealt
with more locally, i.e. it does not work at a single board level) though it may deal with issues that impact some but not all member boards.
· Is committed to Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi, and it will work actively to ensure that it also acknowledges and recognises the interests of mana whenua through continued development of an open relationship with mana whenua
· Recognises the local, regional, and national significance of the Waitakere Ranges and its foothills and coasts, as set out in the Waitakere Ranges Heritage Area Act 2008, and acknowledges the statutory obligations to protect the Heritage Area.
· Will focus on commonalities rather than differences.

File No.: CP2015/12712
Purpose
1. To confirm the date, time and location of hearings on the review of alcohol bans.
Executive Summary
2. Local boards have delegated responsibility to review the local alcohol bans in their local board areas.
3. The purpose of the review is to identify which existing local alcohol bans meet a 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. 15 local boards have decided to undertake full public consultation, to obtain a greater understanding of the impact of alcohol related crime or disorder in the current alcohol ban areas.
5. The public consultation period runs from 19 June to 17 July 2015, where residents and stakeholders are being asked to provide evidence of alcohol related crime or disorder in their local parks, reserves, or open spaces (see attachment one – submission form).
6. Public hearings will take place in August 2015 for those submitters who have indicated that they wish to be heard. These will be heard by the designated Alcohol Ban Review Hearings Panel of the local board, as per the local boards’ resolution at the May business meeting.
7. The Alcohol Ban Review Hearings Panel is charged with determining which existing alcohol bans should remain and which should lapse, and making recommendations to the full local board by 31 October 2015.
That the Manurewa Local Board: a) receive the report entitled “Review of Alcohol Bans 2015”. b) note that the board has agreed at the 14 May 2015 Manurewa Local Board business meeting: · to undertake full public consultation, to obtain a greater understanding of the impact of alcohol-related crime or disorder in the current alcohol ban areas · that a hearings panel will hear from members of the public on this issue. c) confirm that hearings on the review of alcohol bans will occur on Friday, 14 August 2015, commencing at 9am in the Manurewa Local Board Office meeting room, Shop 3-5, 7 Hill Road, Manurewa. d) confirm that deliberations on the review of alcohol bans will occur on Thursday, 23 August 2015 at 6.30pm in the Manurewa Local Board Office meeting room, Shop 3-5, 7 Hill Road, Manurewa.

|
Comments
8. Alcohol bans are an accepted and effective way of helping to reduce alcohol related crime. They limit the amount of alcohol consumed in public places. This helps reduce crime including levels of intoxication, noise, litter, harm, and disorder.
9. Alcohol law reforms in 2013 resulted in amendments to the Local Government Act 2002 requiring all existing alcohol bans to be reviewed by 31 October 2015. The purpose of the review is to identify which existing local alcohol bans meet a new higher statutory threshold to enable them to be retained. Local boards will determine which existing alcohol bans should remain and which should lapse, based on the new statutory threshold.
10. Any existing alcohol bans not reviewed by 31 October 2015 will lapse (expire). New alcohol ban requests will be addressed from 1 November 2015 on a priority basis.
11. 15 local boards have decided to undertake full public consultation, to obtain a greater understanding of the impact of alcohol use in the current alcohol ban areas. In addition, a designated alcohol hearings panel will hear from members of the public on this issue.
12. The public consultation process begins on 19 June 2015, and public hearings will take place in August-September 2015.
13. 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 which existing alcohol bans to retain and which to lapse.
14. The Regulatory and Bylaws Committee is also involved with this process.
Consideration
Local Board Views
15. This report seeks confirmation of hearings dates, times and location, for the Alcohol Ban Review Hearings Panel.
Maori Impact Statement
16. Managing alcohol related crime and 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.
17. 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 crime and harm.
Implementation Issues
18. The public should be informed about the date, time and location of the hearings.

Manurewa Local Board - Further feedback on review of
District Licensing Committee structure
Context:
Staff undertaking the review of District Licensing Committee structure came back to Manurewa Local Board to provide a summary of the feedback received in this review and to consult on proposed recommendations arising from this feedback.
Angela Dalton and Simeon Brown heard the feedback and asked clarifying questions.
Manurewa Local Board Regulatory Portfolio provides the following further feedback to the review of the District Licensing Committee structure and processes.
1. Manurewa Local Board has consistently advocated for best practice in the structure and processes of the new Auckland Council Alcohol District Licensing Committee.
2. The aim has been to ensure community views are readily able to be heard and proper account of these views is given in line with the stated Objectives in the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012.
3. The Board strongly supports the undertaking of a review of the District Licensing Committee structure and processes.
4. Members met with and provided detail input to staff undertaking the review at an early stage.
5. At second meeting on 30th June 2015 staff undertaking the review provided a summary of the feedback received, explained proposed recommendations and asked for further feedback.
6. Manurewa Local Board Regulatory Portfolio provides the following further feedback to the review of the District Licensing Committee structure and processes.
7. Members highlight the importance of the relationships between Local Boards and District Licensing Committees. We are all working for the outcome of reducing harm arising out of misuse of alcohol.
8. There are constraints that shape the work whether those constraints are legal, political, resourcing or otherwise.
9. It will be advantageous for each to understand more of the roles of the other.
10. A good basis is mutual respect and understanding the underlying principles and role.
11. Angela Dalton offered to come to a forum of the DLC Members for the purpose of providing better information about the role of Local Boards in this regard.
12. Similarly, it would be beneficial for Local Boards to have more information and training about the work of the DLCs. This would reduce the likelihood of unwinnable objections.
13. Members support notification of all Local Boards of upcoming hearings
14. Members support the recommendations to improve the experience of objectors.
15. Holding hearings in Local Boards offices is supported.
16. Support scheduling approximate times for objectors in hearings so objectors can better plan their day.
17. Creating an ‘objectors resource’ to be available at local board offices and service centres would be valuable for objectors. Some training may be necessary to empower staff to be able to better inform potential objectors.
18. Members agree with what isn’t going to be recommended out of the feedback provided to the review.
19. Members appreciate the opportunity for further feedback and look forward to the Report to the Regulatory and Social Policy Committee.
20. Coincidentally, it was noted that Alcohol Licensing Regulatory Authority ARLA will be scheduling hearing times for the appeal for the Auckland Council Local Alcohol Policy in the first half of 2016.

Impact of disposal of 173R Browns Road, Manurewa on Te Wharekura o Manurewa relocation to Browns Road |
That the Manurewa Local Board request staff further investigate with Manurewa Marae regarding the intention to locate Te Wharekura o Manurewa on the Browns Road land surrounding 173R Browns Rd, Manurewa to check whether there would be any impact on their future plans if the land was disposed of, prior to any final decision being made about the remaining 933m2 of the reserve. |
TBC |
The Senior Acquisitions and Disposals Advisor, Leasing and Land Advisory Services, Property Department advises that if the balance of the land was to be disposed of it is most likely to first be offered to the adjoining owner. This would assist the development of the site if Te Wharekura was to be located there. The staff member undertook to follow up with the marae. |

Planting of berms |
c) strongly supports encouraging and enabling community use of berms as much as practicable. a) d) strongly supports the development of berm-planting guidelines, which would include: i) safe depths to dig to ii) ideal plants in a number of categories – natives, food, trees iii) maintenance expectations, including in regard to safety eg: height iv) working with neighbours. b) e) request a report back to the Manurewa Local Board by March 2015, from Auckland Transport, addressing the berm planting issues and reporting on progress on resolutions e) to i). c) f) support local boards as the key conduit for Auckland Transport to have community relationships around berm planting, for example, the local board in an area has the relationship with a community group or individual who plant and maintain a specific section of berm in that board’s area. Each Local Board will have the ability to form these relationships, record and monitor them, in ways that contribute to broader local board outcomes and priorities. d) g) recognises the role of berms in allowing access to services for utility agencies, and to that end requires Auckland Transport to create maps available online clearly identifying which berms have services running underneath them at a shallow depth and those that do not. |
May 2015 |
The Auckland Transport Elected Member Relationship Manager advises that the Auckland Transport (AT) executive has approved the drafting of a statement of AT’s practice for managing planting in berms. This approach includes a role for local boards in decision-making.
The original aim was that by May 2015 the policy would be able to be circulated to Local Boards and discussed with them.
The process is taking longer than expected. However, the document has now been approved to go out to Local Boards for consultation by the Auckland Transport Board’s Customer Focus Committee. The Manurewa Local Board will be forwarded the draft document very shortly.

The Elected Members Liaison Relationship Manager advises that delivery of any project by Auckland Transport is subject to a large number of factors that are beyond their ability to influence. These factors can include: · objections from the community · unforeseen technical issues · consenting problems. Auckland Transport therefore cannot make commitments of this nature.
Instead Auckland Transport commits to working in ‘good faith’ to achieve the Local Board’s objectives encouraging Local Boards to identify projects as early as possible so that the process of investigation and design can be managed as early in the term as possible. In this electoral term has provided: · Monthly progress reports; and · Specifically stated in March, May and August 2014 that projects need to be identified and progressed in order to ensure that they are delivered within the electoral term.
In summary Auckland Transport cannot not provide assurances but can commit to doing its best to deliver the project’s identified by the Local Board and if there are issues or concerns to inform the Local Board as soon as possible.

Who to Action |
1. Alcohol Ban Review
Kylie Hill (Policy Analyst, Social Policy & Bylaws) and Paul Wilson (Principal Policy Analyst, Social Policy & Bylaws) clarified what constituted evidence, what assessment criteria was applied (nature of the crime and the frequency) and discussed high level examples.
They responded to questions from the board members.
Staff will send the information provided by the Police to the respective boards on the understanding that it cannot be shared with the public.
Staff advised it would take 2 – 3 months to institute a new liquor ban area. Members expressed concern about the length of time for a new liquor ban area.
The Local Alcohol Policy will identify liquor ban priority areas. The Police data was used to help with this. The Local Alcohol Policy is currently going through an appeal process. The appeal period expires on 17 July 2015.
Staff advised that they will summarise all the information including the evidence received and will provide it to the boards.

Who to Action |
1. Southern Corridor Improvements - Update from NZTA
Chandra Perera (Project Manager, NZTA), Deepak Rama (Project Lead, NZTA), Gordon Wemyss (Technical Director, NZTA) Leone Hansen (Senior Engagement & Stakeholder Liaison Advisor) provided an update on the Southern Corridor Improvements project.
The project is on track. Preliminary design has been completed.
The notice of requirement and resource consents have been approved. It is proposed to construct major parts of the project beginning later this year and completing by May 2018. Some additional parts of the project including any changes to Orams Road bridge and Hill Road bridge have been delayed and no date set. The main aims are to: i) provide three lanes for the Southern Motorway from Hill Road right through to Papakura. ii) reconfigure the Takanini interchange to provide longer exits from the motorway and a new two lane entrance going north onto the motorway from Great South Road. iii) provide three lanes northbound from Papakura through to Hill Road. iv) provide a shared path for cycling/walking parallel with the motorway from Papakura to the Takanini interchange.
The Pahurehure inlet culverts and bridge will remain intact. NZTA believe the current motorway has 30 years life left in it. The whole crossing will then need to be redone to address rising sea levels. NZTA are also looking more broadly at transport resilience issues for the whole of South Auckland.
There will be noise walls along both sides of the new motorway lanes. They will be 2.4 to 3 metres high. NZTA don’t believe there will be any issues with noise.
There are no current plans for an additional lane from Papakura to Drury.
Members raised the following questions:
i) How long ago was modelling done for this project?
Response: The modelling was done in the last couple of years. It has taken into account the impact of special housing areas and projected growth in the Papakura and Manurewa areas.
ii) What is the timing of the Mill Road project and the budget was pushed back in the Long-term Plan?
Response: The larger Mill Road project is scheduled to be complete by 2041. Significant work is not timetabled however, in the next three years. The first stage is to be completed by Auckland Transport by 2026. Ben undertook to find out the timing for the work in this first stage at the top end of Mill Road.
iii) Once the work is done at Takanini – will that make congestion at Karaka better or worse?
Response: It is believed the traffic flows will be improved with the Takanini work. Presently traffic is often sitting in a motorway lane trying to exit. By putting the third lane in it will free up two lanes.
iv) With the development at Pukekohe shouldn’t the motorway be widened between Papakura to Drury?
Response: NZTA will be looking at the wider area of the south under the Auckland growth project. NZTA must work within central government policy.

2 Local Board Transport Capital Fund:
Ben Stallworthy (Elected Member Relationship Manager, Auckland Transport) gave an overview of the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) and the supporting process that delivers projects funded by the LBTCF including: o Identification of projects; o The relationship between projects and the Local Board Plan; o Rough Orders of Cost; o Detailed Design; and o Construction.
The board expressed concern about the LBTCF projects being delivered within the electoral term. Ben advised he was cautiously optimistic that Auckland Transport will be able to deliver. He pointed out that projects needed to be at contract phase by October 2016.
Ben suggested that the board think about alternative projects to create flexibility. Ben undertook to come up with some thoughts for alternative and circulate these to the members.
The board has been successful in advocating to keep Te Mahia Station open. The board now wants to advocate for improvements at Te Mahia Station as a way of increasing use of the station. Improvements should include safer access and could include creating a new Park’n’Ride. The board would like investigation into the feasibility and to find out what the current status is of the sites around the station.
