Progress on the proposed Half Moon Bay ferry facility

8.       Significant progress has been made on the proposed new Half Moon Bay ferry facility, with the manufacture of the pontoon and gangway substantially complete.

9.       The design of the fixed wharf is also complete and the team will apply for notified resource consents soon.

10.     The $4.3 million project is led by Auckland Transport in partnership with the Howick Local Board and the NZ Transport Agency. The structure, in a new location at the end of Ara-Tai, will replace the existing facility within the marina.

11.     The Half Moon Bay ferry facility is consistent with a wider long term redevelopment plan for the marina area. It is aimed at making immediate progress on a modern and safe facility,  within the available funding.

12.     Auckland Transport believes the new ferry facility will provide an efficient public transport option to and from east Auckland and are committed to providing a high-quality, safe and accessible ferry facility for residents of Half Moon Bay and surrounding areas. 

13.     The ferry facility will be similar in quality to Auckland Transport’s Hobsonville ferry terminal, which opened in February 2012. It will support the new public transport network, once it is rolled out and will become a key transfer hub for passengers using buses and ferries, with better integration of bus and ferry services.

14.     Consultation on the new public transport network for east Auckland is expected to start in October.

15.     Consultation of the fixed wharf is expected to start in early 2016 subject to the granting of resource consents.

16.     Once construction is complete, the already manufactured pontoon and gangway will be floated and secured into place. The facility is expected to be operational and open for public use around October 2016.

17.     Features and benefits of the proposed facility

·    Safer, more accessible and designed to provide a greater level of shelter against the elements for passengers on the wharf, gangway and pontoon

·    The design of the wharf structure will reflect the history of the local area

·    Located at the end of Ara-Tai, it will be separated from leisure boat users, which will improve sea traffic flows

18.     The design can be viewed Auckland Transport’s website: at.govt.nz/halfmoonbayferryfacility

Upgrade to white light for Auckland streets

20.     Auckland Transport has begun New Zealand’s most ambitious LED replacement programme.

21.     It is replacing 44,000 high pressure sodium (golden yellow light) street lights with energy efficient light emitting diodes (LED) luminaires. Auckland Transport owns more than 100,000 street lights, approximately one third of the country’s total lighting stock.

22.     The first phase of the programme is being rolled out over five years, meaning nearly half of the regions street lights will change from golden yellow light to white light.

23.     Last year, the Auckland Transport Board approved the plan, the rest of the conversion to LEDs will potentially follow in four to five years.

24.     This project is expected to see net savings of $32 million over the 20 year design life of the LED luminaires.

25.     In March, Transport Minister Simon Bridges – who is also the Minister of Energy and Resources – announced a policy change that would allow local authorities looking at upgrading road lighting to LED to access funding faster.

26.     Mr Bridges stated this is an excellent result and the accelerated renewal LED conversion programme ensures capital is available to all councils that wish to undertake this work. He said that he applaud Auckland Transport for its foresight in taking advantage of this initiative and leading the charge on what will be a nationwide roll-out.

27.     Mr Bridges went on to say, LED technology – which is cheaper over time, safer and more efficient – is a smart choice for communities and for New Zealand.

28.     Auckland Transport recently awarded four new Street Light Maintenance and Renewals contracts of which go for four years beginning this month. This includes the replacement LED programme which began in May 2015.

29.     The region is divided into four contract areas: Electrix Ltd won the north and west contracts, Downer ITS won the central and south contracts.

30.     Auckland Transport is also in the process of awarding a contract to Northpower for Waiheke Island.  Northpower are the Vector contractor on the island and have a depot and staff there.

31.     Phase one of the contracts focuses mainly on residential roads which comprise approximately 40 per cent of the regions street lighting network.

32.     Since 2012 Auckland Transport has had a policy, that all new lights on pedestrian dominated roads will be LED luminaires.

33.     Changing the old lights to LEDs will reduce the energy consumption by more than 60 per cent. 

34.     There is already has approximately 2,000 energy efficient LED luminaires in service. The roll-out will immediately see 1,000 lights replaced in the Mount Albert/Mount Roskill area.

35.     At the same time the new luminaires are changed a Tele-management System (TMS) is being installed to manage and monitor the network.  Through better management of light levels a further 15 to 20 per cent of energy savings can be achieved. The TMS will provide enhanced customer service as any faults on the network will be reported daily.

36.     Auckland Transport already has LED luminaires around Eden Park of which are controlled by a TMS system. This was established under an earlier project and has worked well by increasing light levels before and after events.

37.     International experience has shown that white light is also a factor in crime prevention; delivers greater comfort and security and improves visibility and reaction times for drivers and pedestrians, resulting in fewer vehicle crashes and injuries.

38.     This hugely favours LED as a light source and already this year, according to new research, the market share of LED for street lighting worldwide exceeds 50 per cent.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

39.     The board’s views will be incorporated during consultation on any proposed schemes.

Māori impact statement

40.     No specific issues with regard to the Maori Impact Statement are triggered by this report.

·    For the 12 months to the end of June, patronage was 79.25 million trips which is up 9.5% on the 2014 result.  This is an increase of almost 7 million trips over the course of a year and, given the strong weekday growth, likely represents around an extra 30,000 trips being taken each working day.  The changes for individual modes were:

· Bus (excluding Northern Express) – 57 million trips, up 6.6%

· Northern Express – 2.8 million trips, up 17.2%

· Rail – 13.9 million trips, up 21.7%

· Ferry – 5.5 million trips, up 8.3%

11.     Rail Improvements

·   The big performer was rail which reached 13.9 million passenger trips for the year, representing an annual increase of 21.7%.  The growth is put down to the enhanced travel experience and additional capacity provided by the new electric trains and greater service frequency introduced over recent years.

·   The AT network became fully electric on 20 July, except for the link between Papakura and Pukekohe which will continue to use diesel trains.  These will be refurbished over time to provide an enhanced experience.  The electric trains will provide improved travel experience and more capacity on all lines.

12.     Bus & Ferry Improvements

·   June was also a record-breaking month on the Northern Express, with patronage up 17% on the same month last year.  The 12 month total patronage reached 2.8 million.  It was also a record for other bus services as patronage rose 6.6% to 57 million trips.  Ferry numbers for the year totalled 5.5 million trips, up 8.3% on an annual basis.

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

Road Design and Development

13.     Te Atatu Road Improvements

·   Road Corridor Improvement project on Te Atatu Rd from School Road/Edmonton Road intersection to SH16.  The evaluation of the construction tenders is now completed, with the award of the contract being imminent.  Construction is targeted to start in August 2015 with completion expected around February 2017.  A public open day will be arranged prior to the starting of physical works.

14.     Albany Highway

·    The Albany Highway North Upgrade project involves widening of Albany Highway between Schnapper Rock Road and the Albany Expressway.  Construction is approximately 40% complete.  Disruption to land owners and road users due to construction is being well managed, with any issues being quickly resolved.  The Rosedale Road intersection signalisation has been brought forward to July to assist with traffic management and pedestrian safety.

15.     Lincoln Road Improvements

·    The project involves widening Lincoln Road between Te Pai Place and the motorway interchange to accommodate additional transit/bus lanes on both sides.  Stakeholder feedback has been received for the 2-D layout plan, and the NZTA funding application for the detailed design is progressing.  The designation process is expected to start in late November 2015.

16.     Mill Road Improvements

·    The Redoubt Road - Mill Road corridor project will provide an arterial road connection east of State Highway 1 between Manukau, Papakura and Drury and includes Murphys Road improvements from Redoubt Road to Flatbush School Road.  Submissions to the NOR have closed and AT is now preparing evidence for the formal hearing due at the end of August.

Services

17.     Road Safety Highlights

·    Over 4,000 young people and their parents have participated in the Crossroads young driver programme.

·    The Oi! Mind on the road, not on the phone driver distraction campaign in May targeted 20-29yr old drivers.

·    The Love Being a Local road safety campaign enabled rural communities to take a lead role in raising awareness of local speed issues.

i)          Term - one year commencing 25 May 2015

ii)         License fee - $1.00 per annum, plus GST if demanded

iii)         Maintenance fee - $25 per square metre per annum

b)   All other terms and conditions are in accordance with Auckland Council’s Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012.

 

 

Comments

5.       The old library space within the Waiheke Artworks precinct became vacant when the new Waiheke Community Library opened in July 2014.

6.       On 11 December 2014 the board approved the redevelopment of the old library space to provide two multi use spaces to suit a range of activities and potential uses in the existing footprint of the old library space.

7.       Following community consultation, the board approved a community led and social enterprise operational model decided to and requested staff progress with an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to select an organisation to manage the space.

8.       Following the selection of Waiheke Adult Literacy Inc. through the EOI process, the board approved a grant of $20,000 from the 2014/2015 SLIPs opex budget for year one for the management and programming of the old library space. 

9.       A funding agreement with Waiheke Adult Literacy was executed in June 2015, including key performance indicators (Attachment A).

10.     In order to achieve the outcomes within the funding agreement, a Licence to Occupy and Manage the premises is required. Local board approval to grant this is required in order to formalise the Licence to Occupy and Manage (Attachment B). This report seeks that approval.

11.     Following the Licence to Occupy’s expiry date, the licence terms and conditions roll over monthly as standard practice.  The Licencee will then have the opportunity to apply for a full community lease three months prior to expiry as outlined by the licence.

Consideration

12.     The management obligations in respect of the licenced area are detailed in the funding agreement. The licence to occupy and manage will enable the licencee to achieve the outcomes in the funding agreement. Council owns the land and the buildings and/or other improvements on the land.

Local Board views and implications

13.     The recommendations in this report respond to a local board request that staff execute a Funding Agreement with KPIs and a Licence to Occupy and Manage the premises for Waiheke Adult Literacy Inc. (WHK/2015/1).

ACPL - Six monthly update

 

File No.: CP2015/16401

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       To give Waiheke Local Board an overview of Auckland Council Property Limited’s (ACPL) activities for the six months 1 January to 30 June 2015.

Executive Summary

2.       In May 2015 the Governing Body voted in favour of merging ACPL with Waterfront Auckland to form Development Auckland (DA). The merger responds to feedback from the wider council organisations and seeks to address some key growth, development, housing provision and funding challenges that Auckland will face over the next 20 years. As a CCO Development Auckland will have a commercial orientation, but it will also have explicit public good outcomes to pursue.

3.       Substantive elements of the purpose of DA relate to urban redevelopment, strategic advice on council’s property portfolio and the redevelopment of underutilised council assets to achieve commercial and strategic outcomes.

4.       In August the governing body will receive recommendations from council staff in respect of the proposed locational priorities for DA.

5.       It would be anticipated that DA will specifically engage with local boards post the formal establishment on the 1 September to consider what activities DA can undertake to benefit their local communities.

6.       As this will be our final six-monthly update to you as ACPL, we are including both the full business summary as included in previous versions and additionally providing an outline of some of the strategic and organisational changes we will be making as we transition to Development Auckland.

7.       ACPL activity detail is broken down by business unit or work-stream, with a focus on local board specific activities where applicable.

8.       Local Board specific supporting detail is included in Attachments A, B and C.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Waiheke Local Board:

a)      Receives the Auckland Council Property Limited Local Board Six-Monthly update 1 January to 30 June 2015.

 

 

Comments

Development Auckland

9.       Council formally approved the establishment of Development Auckland, being a merger of Waterfront Auckland and Auckland Council property Limited, in May 2015.

10.     The essential purpose of DA is to contribute to the implementation of the Auckland Plan and encourage economic development by facilitating urban redevelopment that optimises and integrates good public transport outcomes, efficient and sustainable infrastructure and quality public services and amenities. DA will manage council’s non-service property portfolio and provide strategic advice on council’s other property portfolios. It will recycle or redevelop sub-optimal or underutilised council assets and aim to achieve an overall balance of commercial and strategic outcomes.

11.     A number of objectives fall within the purpose including facilitating the redevelopment of urban locations and optimising the council’s property portfolio.

12.     The process to establish the operating structure of DA is well advanced and a combined work stream between DA and council staff is looking at the future priorities for DA that will provide focus in terms of geographic locations and project priorities. In respect of the locational analysis work recommendations will be made to the governing body in August.

13.     It would be anticipated that DA will specifically engage with Local Boards post the formal establishment on the 1 September to consider what activities DA can undertake to benefit their local communities.

 

Workshops and Meetings

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

 

Property Portfolio Management

15.     ACPL manages property owned by the council and AT that are not currently required for service or infrastructure purposes. These are properties that are not immediately required for service delivery or infrastructure development but are being held for use in a planned future project such as road construction/widening or the expansion of parks. This work will largely remain unaffected by the transition to Development Auckland.

16.     The property portfolio continued to grow during the last six months and now totals 1347 properties containing 1080 leases. , an increase of 41 since our July-December 2014 update. The current property portfolio includes industrial sites and buildings, retail tenancies, cafés, restaurants, offices and a substantial portfolio of residential properties.

17.     ACPL’s return on the property portfolio for the year ending 30 June 2015 provides the shareholder a net surplus of $ 6.8m ahead of budget, with an actual surplus of $ 29.8 m against budget of $ 23m. The average monthly vacancy rate for the period is 1.6% which is under the SOI targets of 5%.

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

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

§ Each property’s classification or reason for retention

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

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

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

 

 

 

Portfolio Review and Rationalisation

Overview

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

PROPERTY

DETAILS

4 – 6 Belgium Street (Unit 1) – Waiheke Island

Commercial site. Acquired by the former ACC for use as a Service Centre which was to include a future library. However the library has been located elsewhere. One of the proposed locations identified during the Waiheke swimming pool feasibility study. The Housing Project Office has requested ACPL progress this site through the Rationalisation Process to enable full review of future use options. Internal council consultation is due to commence shortly, with local board and iwi engagement to follow.

7 Waitai Road, Waiheke

Commercial site. Purchased as in the 1950s and used as a council depot. The Housing Project Office has requested ACPL progress this site through the Rationalisation Process to enable full review of future use options. Internal council consultation is due to commence shortly, with local board and iwi engagement to follow.

 

Redevelopment/Regeneration and Housing Supply initiatives

Overview

26.     ACPL in its current form is contributing commercial input into approximately 54 region wide council-driven regeneration and housing supply initiatives. Involvement extends from provision of initial feasibility advice through to implementation, with projects ranging in size from $415k to in excess of $100million.

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

28.     In our expanded role as Development Auckland we will be extending on this work to play a much stronger role in urban development through greater scale, enhanced capability and the ability to partner with others. We will have a key role in helping deliver the council priority of quality urban living and will have the mandate to deal with the challenge of Auckland’s rapid growth through regeneration and investment.

29.     Development Auckland’s roles and responsibilities will be customised to each specific project initiative and location. A few will be of a high custodial nature associated with urban regeneration. Some will be at the other end of the scale with a more facilitative role; and some will be much more able to be delivered in the short term.

30.     ACPL already works closely with the local boards on ACPL-led developments to ensure we give effect to the local boards’ place-shaping role. As Development Auckland engagement will in some areas be of a much broader scope, with the potential for involvement in master-planning activities for significant land areas.

 

Optimisation Update

31.     Optimisation is a programme of work aimed to achieve better use of council’s planned and funded service assets.  The programme targets housing and urban regeneration outcomes along with the delivery of cost-neutral service investment on appropriate sites.  ACPL and ACPD are leading a cross-council project to establish the rules and methodology for service optimisation activity. The programme will be carried across to Development Auckland.

32.     Local Board engagement and workshops will be provided to demonstrate the scope of optimisation and the benefits of driving optimal asset performance from qualifying service property.  Timeframes for these workshops have been pushed out due to Development Auckland transition work.   However ACPL welcomes suggestions of service sites that may have potential for improved service function along with housing or urban regeneration outcomes.

 

 

Local Activities

33.     There are currently no ACPL led regeneration and housing initiative proposal activities in the Waiheke Local Board area.

Acquisitions

Overview  

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

35.     From 1 January 2015 to 31 June 2015, 49 property purchases were completed for the council and AT. All of the property acquisitions met independent valuation thresholds agreed with AT, the council and Public Works Act 1981 requirements.

 

Council Acquisitions

36.     Of the 49 property acquisitions over the past six months, 12 were purchased to meet council legal, open space and storm water requirements and to contribute to City Transformation projects. There were no recent acquisitions in the Waiheke Local Board area.

 

Auckland Transport Acquisitions

37.     The remaining 37 properties were acquired on behalf of AT. The focus was on acquisitions to support major transport projects including AMETI (five acquisitions) City Rail Link Property Acquisition (seven acquisitions), Redoubt Road Mill Road Corridor Upgrade (six acquisitions) road widening across the region (10 acquisitions) and Northern Strategic Growth Area (one acquisition). Full details of relevant AT projects and associated acquisitions will come to the local board directly from AT.

 

Business Interests

38.     ACPL also optimises the commercial return from assets it manages on council’s behalf. This comprises two forestry enterprises, two landfills and four quarries. A high level update on business interests in the Waiheke Local Board area is outlined below.

 

Hoporata Quarry

39.     Hoporata Quarry has been in operation on this site since the 1950s.  Origin Quarries is the operator, paying a royalty to the council based on sales on a monthly basis.  The resource consent for Hoporata Quarry requires that weed control, restoration and revegetation planting be undertaken in accordance with the resource consent and Landscape Implementation and Maintenance Plan.  The work is being completed in accordance with the resource consent and in order to comply with the requirements for the 2015 planting season.

40.     ACPL has been approached by Origin Quarries to renegotiate the terms of the operating agreement.  ACPL and Origin Quarries have made moderate progress on the proposed new operating agreement.  The parties are of the view that the aggregate being sold from the quarry does not result in an adequate return for either the council or the operator and are considering how to address this issue.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

41.     This report is for the Waiheke Local Board’s information.

Māori impact statement

42.     Whatungarongaro te tangata, toitū te whenua. The importance of effective communication and engagement with Māori on the subject of land is understood.  ACPL has accordingly developed robust engagement with the 19 mana whenua groups for our core business activities. We are currently working with Waterfront Auckland on a future strategy for Development Auckland.

43.     Key engagement activities currently include: identifying cultural significance concerns regarding disposal properties, flagging commercial interests, development partnering discussions and issues relating to property management such as protection of wāhi tapu or joint management arising from the resolution of Treaty Settlements. ACPL also engages with relevant mana whenua in respect of development outcomes for ACPL lead projects where appropriate. As Development Auckland we will work with iwi to consolidate and build on strengths from ACPL and Waterfront Auckland’s approaches along with successful work being done elsewhere in the council family.

44.     Matiatia Bay: ACPL has been working with Ngāti Paoa on commissioning a Cultural Values Assessment (CVA) of council owned land and its surrounding area. Ngāti Paoa will work with the council in finalising the CVA, for which a key output will be development of an acceptable uses plan for the council owned sites. The project has been on hold for a few months, but is now re-activated and due to be completed around the end of 2015.

45.     Hoporata Quarry: ACPL also engages with Ngāti Paoa on behalf of council under a co-management agreement for the quarry.

46.     ACPL additionally undertook to be part of council’s Māori Responsiveness Plan (MRP) pilot programme. The project’s key output is an operational document outlining ACPL’s contribution to council’s strategic and operational commitments to Māori. The MRP was finalised and approved by the ACPL Board in December 2014 and is in the implantation phase. A copy of this is available on the ACPL website. This work will be carried over and reflected in the new organisation.

47.     As we transition to Development Auckland, the local board can expect to be advised or involved as appropriate in any other discussions that arise in the local board’s area.

Implementation

48.     There are no implementation issues.
