1        Welcome

 

2        Apologies

 

An apology from Member JG McLean has been received.

 

3        Declaration of Interest

 

Members are reminded of the need to be vigilant to stand aside from decision making when a conflict arises between their role as a member and any private or other external interest they might have.

 

The Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members (the Code) requires elected members to fully acquaint themselves with, and strictly adhere to, the provisions of Auckland Council’s Conflicts of Interest Policy.  The policy covers two classes of conflict of interest:

 

i)          A financial conflict of interest, which is one where a decision or act of the local board could reasonably give rise to an expectation of financial gain or loss to an elected member; and

 

ii)         A non-financial conflict interest, which does not have a direct personal financial component.  It may arise, for example, from a personal relationship, or involvement with a non-profit organisation, or from conduct that indicates prejudice or predetermination.

 

The Office of the Auditor General has produced guidelines to help elected members understand the requirements of the Local Authority (Member’s Interest) Act 1968.  The guidelines discuss both types of conflicts in more detail, and provide elected members with practical examples and advice around when they may (or may not) have a conflict of interest.

 

Copies of both the Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members and the Office of the Auditor General guidelines are available for inspection by members upon request. 

 

Any questions relating to the Code or the guidelines may be directed to the Relationship Manager in the first instance.

 

4        Confirmation of Minutes

 

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a)         confirm the ordinary minutes of its meeting, held on Tuesday, 13 October 2015, including the confidential section, as a true and correct record.

 

5        Leave of Absence

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for leave of absence had been received.

 

6        Acknowledgements

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for acknowledgements had been received.

 

7        Petitions

 

At the close of the agenda no requests to present petitions had been received.

 

 

8        Deputations

 

Standing Order 3.20 provides for deputations. Those applying for deputations are required to give seven working days notice of subject matter and applications are approved by the Chairperson of the Upper Harbour Local Board. This means that details relating to deputations can be included in the published agenda. Total speaking time per deputation is ten minutes or as resolved by the meeting.

 

8.1     Kaipataki Project - Engine Testing Bay, Hobsonville Point

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this report is for the board to receive a deputation from Anna Halliwell of the Kaipataki Project.

Executive Summary

2.       Anna Halliwell of the Kaipataki Project will be in attendance to discuss with the Upper Harbour Local Board their views for the Engine Testing Bay at Hobsonville Point.

 

Recommendation

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a)      enter discussion with Anna Halliwell of the Kaipataki Project and thank her for her attendance at the meeting.

 

9        Public Forum

 

A period of time (approximately 30 minutes) is set aside for members of the public to address the meeting on matters within its delegated authority. A maximum of three minutes per item is allowed, following which there may be questions from members.

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for public forum had been received.

 

10      Extraordinary Business

 

Section 46A(7) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (as amended) states:

(b)     The presiding member explains at the meeting, at a time when it is open to the public,-

 

(i)      The reason why the item is not on the agenda; and

 

(ii)     The reason why the discussion of the item cannot be delayed until a subsequent meeting.”

 

Section 46A(7A) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (as amended) states:

 

“Where an item is not on the agenda for a meeting,-

 

(a)     That item may be discussed at that meeting if-

 

(i)      That item is a minor matter relating to the general business of the local authority; and

 

(ii)     the presiding member explains at the beginning of the meeting, at a time when it is open to the public, that the item will be discussed at the meeting; but

Proposed Road Name Approval Report for Marmande Property Investments Ltd at 125 Gills Road, Albany

 

File No.: CP2015/21044

 

  

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Upper Harbour Local Board for road names for the five new private roads constructed within the Unit Title Development (118 units) on the corner of Gills Road and Silver Moon Road.

Executive summary

2.       The consent holder has submitted three names for each of the roads to be named with a preference for each.

3.       The consent holder has chosen the theme of New Zealand native trees for this development.

4.       Appropriate consultation has been undertaken with both mana whenua and New Zealand Post.

5.       Auckland Council has road naming guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria of council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied to ensure consistency of road naming for the Auckland Council. It should be noted that these criteria do not support duplication of names in the Auckland Council area for safety reasons, as emergency services could be misdirected to the wrong address.

6.       Following an assessment against the road naming criteria it is considered that all the proposed road names meet the road naming guideline criteria and are therefore now referred to the Upper Harbour Local Board for their consideration and a final determination.

 

Recommendation

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a)      pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, consider for approval the following road names Makamaka Lane, Hutu Lane, Akeake Lane, Kanona Way and Twiggy Way for use within the 118 unit development at 125 Gills Road, noting that these names all meet the road naming criteria, and that all costs associated with the provision and installation of appropriate signage is to be borne by Marmande Property Investments Ltd.

Comments

7.       The consent holder considers that the names with the theme of native trees are appropriate to the locality and accord to the guidelines in respect of the heritage and flora of the area.

8.       The consent holder has consulted with all 12 iwi as identified in council’s Upper Harbour Local Board Area consultation list and has received responses from three iwi. All responses received support the proposed names.

9.       The consent holder has also consulted with New Zealand Post, who confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable and should not provide any addressing or safety concerns.

Decision making

10.     Auckland Council, by way of the Long-term Plan (2012-2022), allocated the responsibility for the naming and re-naming of new roads, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, to local boards.

 


Assessment

11.     The road names suggested by the consent holder have been assessed against the criteria set out in the Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines as listed in the table below:

 

Proposed new road name

Makamaka Lane (preferred)

12.     All of the proposed road names are deemed to meet council’s road naming guidelines.

Consideration

Significance of decision

13.     The decision sought from the Upper Harbour Local Board for this report does not trigger any significant policy, and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the wider community.

Maori impact statement

14.     The decision sought from the Upper Harbour Local Board on this report is linked to the Auckland Plan outcome, “A Maori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world”. The use of Maori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Maori identity.

 

Consultation

15.     It is considered that the consent holder has undertaken appropriate consultation with specific parties as detailed above. 

Financial and resourcing implications

16.     The cost of processing the application for the approval of the new road names and the installation of signage is borne by the consent holder.

Legal and legislative implications

17.     The decision sought from Upper Harbour Local Board for this report is not considered to have any legal or legislative implications.

Special Exemption (Section 6) Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987

 

File No.: CP2015/21025

 

  

Purpose

1.       This report seeks a decision on the following application/s for special exemption from several of the requirements of the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987 (the Act).

Executive summary

2.       Applications for an exemption for swimming or spa pools have been received from the owners of:

 

·        48 Brigham Young Drive, Albany.

·        10 Cutter Place, Greenhithe.

·        16 Mountain Beech Rise, Albany.

·        505 Dairy Flat Highway, Lucas Heights.

·        4 Te Hoe Grove, Pinehill.

 

3.       The applications do not comply with the Act. Pool inspectors have inspected the properties and consulted with the applicants. Full assessment reports are attached to this report.

 

4.       The local board must now resolve to grant, grant subject to conditions or decline the exemptions sought.

 

Recommendations

That the Upper Harbour Local Board determine each application, by way of resolution, to:

a)      grant the application for special exemption as sought, or

b)      grant the application subject to conditions, or

c)      decline the application for special exemption sought.

Comments

Background

 

5.       Auckland Council pool inspectors have inspected each property for which an application for special exemption from the Act has been received. In each case, the swimming pool fencing does not comply with the Act. The details of the non-compliance are specified in the attachments to this report.

6.       The council’s pool inspectors have consulted with the applicants in each case. The applicants have been made aware of the council’s requirements to ensure fencing is compliant with the Act, and they have chosen to seek a special exemption from those requirements.

Legislative implications

7.       Compliance with the Act is a mandatory requirement for all pool owners unless exemptions are granted by the local board.

8.       The Act requires pool owners to fence their pool, or all or some of the immediate pool area including the pool itself.  Specific detail on this is contained in the schedule to the Act. If a pool does not have a complying fence it is an offence under the Act, unless exempt.



9.       An exemption can only be granted by the local board after a consideration of the particular characteristics of the property and the pool, other relevant circumstances and taking into account any conditions it may impose. Then, only if the local board is “satisfied that an exemption would not significantly increase the danger to young children”, can an exemption be granted.

10.     The definition of the immediate pool area, which is “the land in or on which the pool is situated and as much of the surrounding area that is used for activities or purposes related to the use of the pool”, is a key consideration for granting an exemption.

11.     Where a building forms part of the pool fence and there are doors opening into the pool area, the local board may grant an exemption from compliance with clauses 8 and 10 of the schedule to the Act. It may exempt if it is satisfied that compliance with the Act is impossible, unreasonable or in breach of any other Act, regulation or bylaw and the door is fitted with a locking device that when properly operated prevents the door from being readily opened by children under the age of six years.

12.     When granting a special exemption, the local board may impose reasonable conditions relating to the property or the pool or reflecting other relevant circumstances. These may include:

a)      Making the exemption personal to the applicant so that on a sale of the property a new owner will need to apply for a new exemption; or

b)      Granting the exemption for a fixed term irrespective of changes of ownership.

13.     Any exemption granted or condition imposed may be amended or revoked by the local board by resolution. The rules of natural justice would, however, dictate that this action should not be taken without informing the pool owner and giving them the opportunity to be heard.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

14.     Local boards have delegated authority to approve exemptions to the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act. Before making an exemption, the local board must consider:

·        the particular characteristics of the property and the pool;

·        any other relevant circumstances; and

·        conditions it may be necessary to impose.

 

15.     The local board must also be satisfied that the exemption would not significantly increase the danger to young children.

16.     The local board may resolve to grant, grant subject to conditions, or decline the application for special exemption.

17.     If the application is declined the applicant will be required to fence the pool in accordance with the Act.

Maori impact statement

18.     There are no particular impacts on Maori that are different from those of other pool owners.


Implementation

19.     The decision must be made by resolution.
