Long Term Plan 2015-2025 update

File No.: CP2015/14800

Purpose

1. To update the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserves Board (reserves board) on the consultation and decision making phases of the Long Term Plan 2015-2025 (LTP) inform the reserves board of the final adopted budget for the Whenua Rangatira.

Recommendation

That the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserves Board:

a) receive the Long Term Plan 2015-2025 update report.

Comments

1. The Long Term Plan 2015-25 (LTP) is Auckland Council’s 10 year budget and work programme. It sets out the funding and implementation of strategic priorities to deliver on the Auckland Plan. The LTP includes council’s:

· proposed levels of service

· financial information on activities and costs

· policies and fees

· local board information and agreements

· infrastructure strategy

2. A report in February 2015 to the reserves board advised of the Governing Body’s confirmation of a draft budget for the board of $10,555,342. This was comprised of $4,960,760 for net operational funding and $5,594,582 capital funding. These budgets fund operational maintenance and capital projects on the Whenua Rangatira.

3. Following the confirmation of this budget, a submission was made from the reserves board to the Governing Body for a further $811,000 of operational funding over the life of the LTP. This was requested to enable the continuation of some of the core operations relating to the Whenua Rangatira. This submission is detailed in attachment A of this report.

4. The Governing Body has approved the request for this additional operational funding, and the final budget for the Whenua Rangatira was adopted in June 2015 as part of the LTP. The updated LTP budget (including the $811,000 amendment) is set out in attachment B of this report. It uses uninflated figures and is comparable with the November 2014 draft budget.

10 August 2015

Atkin Avenue stream naturalisation project update

File No.: CP2015/14683

Purpose

1. To update the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserves Board (reserves board) on the Atkin Avenue stream naturalisation project, and to request a CAPEX budget reallocation to cover the shortfall required to complete the project.

Executive Summary

2. The planning and engineering design component of the Atkin Ave Daylighting project is now complete, and the application for resource consent has been lodged.

3. The reserves board has allocated $50,000 in Financial Year (FY) 15/16 for the physical works component of this project, and the final engineers estimate for the physical works is $69,000. There is therefore a funding shortfall of $19,000 required to complete this project.

4. In addition to the Atkin Ave Daylighing project there is “recreational improvements” project in the financial plan for FY15/16 at a value of $50,000. Scoping and planning for this project is yet to begin. It is recommended that the board reallocate $19,000 from the recreational improvements budget to the Atkin Ave stream naturalisation so that this project can be completed this summer.

Recommendations

That the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserves Board:

a) reconfirm the FY 15/16 allocation of $50,000 to the Atkin Ave stream naturalisation project, as detailed in attachment A of this report.

b) reallocate $19,000 from the FY 15/16 Recreational Improvements budget to the Atkin Avenue stream naturalisation project, to cover the shortfall required to complete the project.

Comments

5. The Atkin Avenue daylighting project was commissioned by the reserves board in 2013. The initial design, planning and engineering services has been carried out by Morphum Environmental, and the project is being jointly managed by Whai Maia Ltd and Auckland Council.

6. In FY 2013/14 $19,379 was spent on design, and in FY14/15 $23,500 was spent on planning and consent for this project.

7. The planning component is now complete and the application for resource consent was lodged at the end of June. The updated detailed design as proposed by Morphum is set out in Attachment A of this report.

8. The current allocation in the boards FY15/16 CAPEX budget for the physical works component of this project is $50,000.

9. Morphum Environmental have reviewed the physical works component of this project based on more detailed design drawings, and have now estimated the physical works component will cost $69,000.

10. This is higher than expected due to the challenging erosion and sediment control requirements and the protection that will be required between the stream and the machinery access track.

11. It is recommended that the $19,000 shortfall for Atkin Ave is reallocated from the board’s recreational improvements budget, which currently has $50,000 allocated to it.

12. If $19,000 is allocated to the Atkin Ave stream naturalisation project, the remaining $31,000 will be adequate for scoping and planning for recreational improvements this year. This budget may be adequate for implementing the recreational improvements project; however this will be dependent on scope.

13. Some cost savings for the Atkin Ave project may be achieved through the procurement process, as three competitive quotes from civil contractors will be sought. Also some value engineering could reduce costs further. If this eventuates any remaining funding will be returned to the reserves board budget for reallocation to other projects.

14. The shortfall does not include an estimated $10,000 for planting work associated with this project, however it is anticipated that this can be covered by Whenua Rangatira planting restoration budget.

Implementation

15. If the required budget is allocated to this project, physical works is planned to commence in December 2015 and the work will take around three months to complete.

Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserves Board

10 August 2015

Concessions on the Whenua Rangatira

File No.: CP2015/12662

Purpose

1. To seek approval from the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserves Board (reserves board) for guidelines and criteria that will assist staff when assessing concession applications to trade on the Whenua Rangatira.

Executive Summary

2. The Whenua Rangatira is a popular destination for locals and visitors to the Ōrākei area. Auckland Council and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserves Board and Whai Maia Ltd occasionally receives applications for small stall holders wanting to trade on the Whenua, to take advantage of the commercial opportunities these visitors bring.

3. There is currently no policy or guidelines to assist staff in the selection of appropriate concessions for the Whenua. The Reserves Board has requested that criteria and guidelines are compiled based on principles from the Whenua Rangatira Management Plan and the working model from Auckland Council Regional Parks.

4. Suggested criteria and guidelines are set out in attachment A of this report. If these are approved by the board, these criteria will be applied when applications to trade on the Whenua are considered.

5. The road reserve on Hapimana Street and the stretch of Tamaki Drive along Okahu Bay is controlled by Auckland Transport. As any activity on these areas of road reserve has an effect on the Whenua Rangatira, it is recommended that reserves board (or delegated authority) control and approve concession applications on these areas of road reserve and that the criteria in attachment A is applied.

Recommendations

That the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserves Board:

a) approve the guidelines and criteria for the consideration of concessions on the Whenua Rangatira as set out in attachment A of this report.

b) request that Auckland Transport decline and defer all applications made to trade on Hapimana Street and the sections of Tamaki Drive, as set out in attachment A of this report, to the Local and Sports Park Manager Central, Auckland Council and/or Kaiwhakahaere Matua, Toki Taiao, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Whai Maia Ltd, under delegated authority.

Comments

6. The location of the Whenua Rangatira, as one of the closest beaches and open space areas to the CBD with spectacular views over the Hauraki Gulf, a rich maori heritage and home to the Michael Joseph Savage Memorial and gardens means that it is a popular destination for visitors to Auckland. The area around Michael Joseph Savage memorial is a strategic stopping point for numerous tour companies, and Ōkahu Bay is a popular beach for locals and visitors alike.

7. Some small businesses have seen the commercial potential these visitors bring, and subsequently applications are received to trade on these parts of the Whenua.

8. There are currently no guidelines or policy in place that guide staff when considering these concession applications, and staff have asked the board for a steer as to the approach that should be undertaken when these applications are received.

9. Workshops were held with the Reserves Board in November 2014 and May 2015 to discuss the approach to concession applications. Options put to the board at these workshops included:

· declining all applications

· going to market to attract potential trade

· setting criteria that can be used to guide staff when applications are received, on behalf of the Reserves Board

10. The board have opted for setting criteria based on policy and guidelines from the Whenua Rangatira Management Plan and the working model from Auckland Council Regional Parks, and staff were asked to draft these in a report.

11. The Whenua Rangatira Management Plan does not directly reference concession applications. However the Built/Activity Values policy on page 21 states that buildings and activities should be restricted to ‘those that have to do with the culture, history and economic well-being of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei and the safety, convenience and recreational pursuits of people who may visit the Whenua Rangatira’’

12. Regional Parks manage commercial activity on parks as a discretionary activity. This policy is set out in the Regional Parks Management Plan objective 13.1.1. and the application of this policy (13.5.1.14) favours applicants that ‘provide direct benefits, enjoyment and use opportunities for park visitors and the regional community’

13. Section 67 of the Ngati Whatua Orakei Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Claims Settlement Act 2012 relates to the duties and powers of Reserves Board and the control and management of the Whenua Rangatira. This section states the Reserves Board has:

(a) the powers conferred on the trustees of a Maori reservation by any regulations made under section 338 of Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993; and

(b) the powers conferred by the Reserves Act 1977 on the administering body of a recreation reserve to control and manage a reserve

14. In relation to (b) above, section 53 of the Reserves Act 1977 (Powers (other than leasing) in respect of recreation reserves) states that the administering body may:

(e) grant the exclusive use of the reserve or any part thereof…but not for more than 6 days consecutively at any time, to any person, body, voluntary organisation, or society (whether incorporated or not) for the purpose of particular games, sports, or other activities or for public recreation or enjoyment, with authority for that person, body, organisation, or society to demand a fee or charge for admission on that day or those days to the reserve or part thereof so granted…’

15. Attachment A in this report sets out criteria and guidelines based on the above statutory documents and Reserve Management Plans. Delegation for the approval of concessions sits with The Manager, Local and Sports Parks Central and/or the General Manager of Culture and Identity at Whai Maia Ltd. Any decision made on concessions on the Whenua Rangatira or surrounding road reserve will be made collaboratively between these two parties.

Road reserve applications

16. Some applications received are for concessions to trade on the road reserve, which is controlled Auckland Transport. The close proximity of the Whenua Rangatira to Hapimana Street and the Okahu Bay area of Tamaki Drive mean that any concession granted will have an effect on activities on these parts of the Whenua.

17. It is therefore recommended that the reserves board request to Auckland Transport that all concession applications on the road reserve around Okahu Bay and Hapimana Street are declined and deferred to the reserves board (or delegated authority) for a decision.

Implementation

18. If the criteria and guidelines as set out in attachment A to this report are approved by the board, these will be effective immediately and will be used when consideration is given to all future concession applications.

19. Two applicants are currently awaiting a decision of their application to trade on the area near to Michael Joseph Savage Memorial. These applications are for a ‘kai cart’ and to sell printed t-shirts and souvenirs. If the attached criteria are approved by the board, further information will be requested and the criteria will be applied when considering their applications.

File No.: CP2015/14572

Purpose

1. To update the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserves Board (reserves board) on the operational expenditure and revenue budget for the Whenua Rangatira and Pourewa Creek Recreation Reserve.

Recommendation

That the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserves Board:

a) receive the Operational Expenditure Update report.

Operational budget overview/update:

2. Net operating costs for the quarter from April to June and Financial Year 2015 overall summary:

Reserve	Department	Account	Actual (YTD)	Budget (YTD)	Variance	Full Year Budget
			$'000	$'000	$'000	$'000
Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserve	Operating expenditure	Contract costs	557	532	(25)	532
		Other operating costs	196	180	(17)	180
		Total operating expenditure	754	713	(41)	713

	Operating revenue	Commercial revenue	44	0	44	0
		Total Operating revenue	44	0	44	0

		Net Operating expenditure	710	713	3	713

3. The Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserves Board’s net operating position of $710,000 for the year is in line with budget of $713,000 with an under spend reported of $3,000.

4. The bulk of expenditure was associated with the day to day upkeep of the Whenua Rangatira and Pourewa Creek Recreation Reserve. Activities for the quarter include:

· The first planting day of the season was held on 23 May 2015. 25 people attended and planted 500 plants, but were rained off after one hour.

· On 20 June 2015(Matariki) 200 people attended the second planting day, and 2600 plants were planted out.

· The first community planting day for the Pourewa site was held on 25 June 2015. It was a great success, with four schools taking part and 250 children, teachers and parents planting out 1600 plants.

· Further planting days will be held on 25 July and 22 August 2015. A follow up on these will be reported to the Reserves Board in November.

· 3,420 volunteer hours were recorded for the 2014/15 year end, with a good range of corporate volunteers and school groups involved. Orakei Primary and St Joseph’s School are now including Pourewa Creek in their water monitoring program with Wai Care.

· Targeted weed work continues in the bush block for high environmental impact weeds moth plant, privet, bone seed and honey suckle, along with hand releasing weeds from 1- 2 year old planting blocks

· Environmental monitoring of both sites has continued by interns working with in Auckland Council’s Research, Information and Monitoring Unit (RIMU) Team and Auckland University. Monitoring includes vegetation growth, lichen inventory (part of a wider translocation project) and water monitoring with Wai Care.

· Animal pest monitoring has been undertaken and a refined control program will recommence from October this year through to March 2016.

· The turf component of the contract continues without incident. A project is underway to amend maps and areas as the landscape changes, to ensure the contract reflects the work done and payments made.

· Monthly contract auditing started in July.

5. Below is an update on planned expenditure or revenue that is yet to be spent/received:

· St Heliers Bay Pony Club (pony club) revenue is yet to be received. This is dependent on the lease being completed and signed. The Pony Club has met with Auckland Council legal team and requested some changes to the lease. These changes are being reviewed by Whai Maia Ltd and once agreed the Pony Club will be billed for all outstanding lease fees.

· The remaining $20,000 budgeted for the Pourewa Creek Recreation Plan has been uplifted and signed over to the Whai Maia Ltd for completion of the plan. A separate report is included in this agenda providing details of the progress on the management plan.

· The removal of the Apple Gum trees on Kitemoana Street currently is unfunded; however there is unforecast revenue expected from the St Heliers Bay Pony Club lease and this may be sufficient to fund part of all of the removal. Staff are getting quotes for the work and will report back in November.

· As the operational budget for FY15/16 is still being confirmed, more detailed budget information will be available and reported at the reserves board meeting in November.
