Whau Local Board

21 October 2015

Auckland Transport Update report

File No.: CP2015/21565

Purpose

1. The purpose of the report is to respond to Whau Local Board requests on transport related matters and to provide information about Auckland Transport’s activities in the local board area.

Recommendation/s

That the Whau Local Board:

a) Receives the Auckland Transport Update report.

Comments

1. The Whau Local Board Plan 2014-2017 has two Local Board Plan outcomes that strongly relate to transport infrastructure provision, and the enhancement of public and private space alongside of transport corridors. These outcomes are:

· In the Whau, its 20 minutes by walking, cycling and public transport to everything we need.

· Outstanding development in New Lynn, Avondale and along our main roads.

2. The Whau Local Board are endeavoring to realise these outcomes through both advocacy and through use of its Local Board Transport Capital Fund.

LOCAL BOARD TRANSPORT FUND APPLICATION UPDATE REPORT

NEW LYNN TO WATERVIEW SHARED PATH PROJECT (WESTERN LINE CYCLEWAY) UPDATE

3. Auckland Transport was initially proposing to have a public open day by the end of August/early September. However, at this stage, AT have engaged twice with iwi and will need to have a number of other meetings before AT can confidently come back to the local board or to the public.

4. Auckland Transport is prioritising applying for consents for the bridge. An essential pre-requisite will be negotiating with a number of landowners around the licence to occupy private land during construction, which presents a risk to the bridge’s construction programme. Surveys of the site have been completed and these will allow the designers to assess the following issues: access for construction equipment, working under high voltage transmission lines and, working in and alongside, the rail corridor. The design of the shared path route is being redesigned to minimise property acquisition.

5. Auckland Transport is also seeking to hold preliminary conversations with representatives of the group proposing the Whau Coastal Walkway (which intersects the New Lynn–Waterview shared path) and Friends of the Whau.

6. The design of the shared path route is being redesigned to minimise property acquisition to mitigate risk to the construction timeline.

WHAU LOCAL BOARD NEIGHBOURHOOD GREENWAYS – MCWHIRTER PLACE TO BUSBY STREET FOOTBRIDGE

7. Auckland Transport have received an application from the local board to assess the installation of the footbridge from McWhirter Place to Busby Street.

8. At present Auckland Transport is assessing the application.

RESPONSES AND PROGRESS REPORTS

KELSTON FOOTPATHS

9. A third meeting with the community group identified by the local board took place at the end of September. There were a number of further requests that will be forwarded to Auckland Transport for action/consideration. Once investigations are completed AT will report their findings back to the local board and the community group.

10. As an update from the second public meeting with the local board and community groups on this subject, Auckland Transport has forwarded the meeting’s requests for investigation. To date, Auckland Transport Traffic Operations have investigated a request received from Kelston Boys School for the necessary equipment needed to operate a patrolled school crossing at the existing zebra crossing outside No.6 St Leonard’s Road, Kelston. As a result of this investigation, AT will be installing the new Stayput School Patrol signs at this zebra crossing. This work is expected to be completed before the end of October 2015.

11. Auckland Transport is currently in the process of reviewing the investigation / advance design list, for our Safer Communities (ex Safety Around School) programme. Auckland Transport has managed to prioritise the ‘Kelston Road Cluster’ to be included in the 15/16 investigation list (and subject to consultation outcomes and funding allocation) AT will endeavour to have the identified improvement work delivered in the 16/17 financial year. In light of this development, our Safety Around School team are currently working with the schools to see if they are happy to be in the Travelwise programme and if so, to get them to complete the baseline survey (which is critical for our investigation). Once the baseline survey has been completed, the Road Safety team will commence the investigation.

CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS AT GREAT NORTH ROAD

12. Auckland Transport is proposing the following improvements:

· Upgrading the existing zebra crossing located outside No. 1959 Great North Road (south of Crayford Street West) by making the ‘flat’ crossing into a ‘raised’ zebra crossing, with ramps either side.

· Removing the existing pedestrian refuge island outside No. 1907 Great North Road (south of Racecourse Parade) and installing a new ‘raised’ zebra crossing, with ramps either side. This work will include the installation of new side islands, pram crossings with tactile pavers and pedestrian crossing poles at both sides of the crossing point.

Why are the changes required?

13. Auckland Transport has received concerns from the Whau Local Board regarding pedestrian safety at the existing crossings.

14. There were twelve reported crashes on Great North Road (between the Racecourse Parade and the Crayford Street West intersections), during the period of 2009 and 2014. As a result, Auckland Transport carried out site observations and investigations to identify road safety issues on this section of Great North Road.

15. There have been two reported pedestrian crashes over the past 7 years on the existing zebra crossing outside No. 1959 (nearby Crayford Street West). Site observations by our staff showed that the current layout of the zebra crossing is easily overlooked by approaching motorists. This situation represents a safety risk for pedestrians, the majority of them young children from the Avondale Primary School.

16. Furthermore, site observations also showed conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles at the existing pedestrian refuge island located outside No. 1907 Great North Road (south of Racecourse Parade). This crossing point is heavily used by students of Avondale Primary School and Avondale College and meets the requirements for a zebra crossing, where vehicles must stop to let pedestrians cross the road safely.

17. Auckland Transport is proposing to upgrade the existing crossing facilities with new ‘raised’ zebra crossings. The objectives of these proposals are to improve the visibility of pedestrians for approaching motorists and encourage lower vehicle speeds.

Why are we removing parking?

18. The changes to the existing zebra crossing near No. 1959 Great North Road will have no impact on any car spaces.

19. Auckland Transport accepts that the change of a pedestrian refuge island, to a raised zebra crossing near No.1907 Great North Road, will result in the loss of on-street parking spaces. However, the removal of parking is necessary to improve the visibility of pedestrians at the new raised zebra crossing. 6 spaces are likely to be removed at the location indicated on the attached aerial photographs. (Attached at pages 1 – 2 of the attachments.)

Response from the Local Board

20. The Local Board Transport Portfolio holders support the proposal.

2015-16 NEW FOOTPATH PROGRAMME

21. Further to our consultation with all local boards in June, and the finalising of the footpath programme in August (see below), Auckland Transport is now ready to begin public consultation.

22. The purpose of this update is to give advanced notice to the local boards that public consultation will be occurring in the following locations within the next 2 weeks.

REGIONAL UPDATES

OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR UNMANNED AIRCRAFT (UAV) DRONES, REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT (RPAS) AND OTHERS

24. In response to the recent update of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Rules, Auckland Transport has developed a set of conditions for Unmanned Aircraft/Drones (UAV) operators to meet before flights in Auckland Transport airspace over roads and other public places under the control of AT. Unlicensed UAV operators flying under 101 rule now require property owner permission before taking flight. This rule includes the regulation of model aircraft, kites, drones, balloons and other unmanned remote controlled piloted aircraft.

25. AT has taken a risk-based approach in line with the intention of the CAA, due to the high risk of drone malfunction and road safety to only allow those with public liability insurance to operate over roads. The purpose of the conditions is to minimise public nuisance, risk to all road users and to remind operators of their obligations prior to flights. UAV’s/drones are not permitted in, on or above AT public transport vehicles, stations, terminals and wharves, near traffic lights and intersections, in AT controlled parking buildings, or on roads adjacent to the zoo. UAV operators must avoid flying over the road, and if necessary, at a height of 20m or more to minimise distraction to drivers. If using the road, UAV’s may only take off from the grass berm avoiding all overhead lines.

26. These conditions for unlicensed operators will be available soon on the AT public website for operators to seek approval prior to flights. This will be granted automatically should operators meet the conditions of flight. Enforcement is by way of the CAA, NZ Police and the AT/AC Public Safety and Nuisance Bylaw. Complaints will not be responded to by Auckland Council, but monitored and recorded for future education.

27. These conditions were created in collaboration with Auckland Council and other CCO’s to ensure regional consistency.

Whau Local Board

21 October 2015

New Road Name approval for a Private Road created by a Subdivison by New Zealand Housing Foundation at 1 Trent Street, Avondale

File No.: CP2015/20923

Purpose

1. The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Whau Local Board for a new road name for a private road created by way of a subdivision at 1 Trent Street, Avondale (Council reference: R/JSL/2014/5408).

Executive Summary

2. Auckland Council has a road naming guidelines which sets out the requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names for a new road or private road/accessway. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming for the Auckland Council.

3. Following assessment against the road naming criteria, the road names ‘Whakawhiti Loop’ (preferred road name) and ‘Crossing Loop’, ‘Teihana Loop’ and ‘Tereina Loop’ (alternate names) were determined to meet the road naming policy criteria.

4. Local iwi groups were consulted and raised no objections. Ngati Te Ata Waiohua suggested an additional name ‘Hana Lane’ to be used. However, the suggested name ‘Hana’ is similar to the existing road name ‘Hanan’ that is already used in Auckland, and therefore does not meet the road naming policy criteria.

Recommendation/s

That the Whau Local Board:

a) Considers for approval, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, the road name ‘Whakawhiti Loop’ proposed by the applicant for the new private road created by way of subdivision at 1 Trent Street, Avondale.

Comments

5. The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allow that where a new road or private road/accessway needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name for the Local Board’s approval.

6. New Zealand Housing Foundation (the applicant) has a preferred name ‘Whakawhiti Loop’ and alternate names ‘Crossing Loop’, ‘Teihana Loop’ and ‘Tereina Loop’ for the private road created by a way of subdivision. The site is located at 1 Trent Street, Avondale and is legally described as Lot 1 DP 129217. Council granted consent on 5^th February 2015 to subdivide and construct 33 dwellings/lots including provision of a private road associated with the development. As the private road serves more than 5 dwellings/lots, the private road/accessway is required to be name. This road naming application relates to the one private road located through the middle of the development, created under this subdivision. The private road comes off Trent Street.

7. The applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for the road created as part of the development:

Road Number	Proposed Road Names
Private road off Trent Street	Whakawhiti Loop
Alternate name for the private road	Crossing Loop
Alternate name for the private road	Teihana Loop
Alternate name for the private road	Tereina Loop

Figure 1: Location of the private road with road named

Decision Making

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

Assessment

9. The applicants proposed road names have been assessed against the criteria set out in the Auckland Council road naming guidelines.

Originally proposed names	Meaning & Reasons	Which road names meet the criteria and which ones do not, and why
Whakawhiti Loop (preferred name)	‘Whakawhiti’ means crossing, intersection and exchange. It refers to the proximity to the railway line and historical use of the land as the place to cross the railway line by foot and vehicle before the bridge was built	Meets the criteria; Accepted by NZ Post and LINZ
Crossing Loop (second preference)	It refers to the proximity to the railway line and historical use of the land as the place to cross the railway line by foot and vehicle before the bridge was built	Meets the criteria; Accepted by NZ Post and LINZ
Teihana Loop (third preference)	‘Teihana’ means station. It refers to the Fire Station that was located in this area. It also refers to the railway station in close proximity to the site and the historical use of the site, being a place to cross the railway line by foot and vehicle	Meets the criteria; Accepted by NZ Post and LINZ
Tereina Loop (fourth preference)	‘Tereina’ means train/railway. It refers to the site, being in close proximity to the railway line.	Meets the criteria; Accepted by NZ Post and LINZ

10. The proposed names in the table below were suggested by the applicant and have been consulted with the local iwi with no objection received, and are relating the history of the site:

11. The proposed name in the table below were suggested by Ngati Te Ata Waiohua:

Originally proposed names	Meaning & Reasons	Which road names meet the criteria and which ones do not, and why
Hana Lane	Hana Te Hemara lived in Avondale for many years and the suggested name is to reflect the history of the site	Hana is similar to ‘Hanan’, which exit within Auckland. The name does not meet the criteria and not accepted by NZ Post and LINZ

12. Given the reasons in the table above, the acceptable names were concluded to be ‘Whakawhiti’, ‘Crossing’, ‘Teihana’ and ‘Tereina’.

13. The proposed use of ‘Loop’ accurately reflects the type of the private road being named.

14. As the applicant’s preferred name (Whakawhiti) meets the criteria, it is recommended for consideration for approval.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

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

Māori impact statement

16. The decision sought from the Whau 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 the private road is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Maori identity.

Consultation

17. The applicant has put forward the proposed names to local iwi- Te Runanga o Ngati Whatua, Ngati Whatua o Orakei, Te Kawerau a Maki, Ngati Tamaoho, Te Akitai Waiohua and Ngati Te Ata Waiohua. No objection was raised from the local iwi. An alternate name was suggested from Ngati Te Ata Waiohua. However, the suggested name was similar to the street name existing within Auckland.

18. New Zealand Post and Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) have commented that the preferred name ‘Whakawhiti’, ‘Crossing’, and alternative name ‘Teihana’ and ‘Tereina’ meet their criteria and standards.

19. Council’s NAR Analysis team and Resource Consent team (Central) have also been consulted and confirmed their acceptance of the preferred and alternate names.

Financial and Resourcing Implications

20. The cost of processing the approval of the proposed new name for the private road is recoverable in accordance with Council’s Administrative Charges. The applicant is responsible to install the road name signage as per conditions of the approved resource consent.

Legal and Legislative Implications

21. The decision sought from the Whau Local Board for this report is not considered to have any legal or legislative implications.

Implementation

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

Whau Local Board Events Partnership Fund 2015/2016

File No.: CP2015/19713

Purpose

1. To seek approval of events to be funded through the Whau Local Board non-contestable Local Event Partnership Fund 2015/2016, and confirm the process for managing the partnership funding arrangements.

Executive Summary

2. A non-contestable Local Event Partnership Fund (LEPF) of $132,000 has been established by the Whau Local Board for allocation in 2015/2016.

3. Whau Local Board supports a programme of local events via the LEPF. These funded events are primarily delivered by local community organisations.

4. Discussion with Whau Local Board Event portfolio holder and a subsequent member workshop has guided preparation of a suggested programme of events.

5. To support local board funded community organisations, staff recommend a partnership fund management process be implemented. This would include project and delivery timeline checks; funding accountability; and event mentoring support through the Empowered Event Programme.

Recommendations

That the Whau Local Board:

a) Confirm funding allocations for 2015/2016 Local Event Partnership Fund as follows:

Local Event Partnership Fund 2015/2016
Local Event Organiser Delivery
Whau the People Arts Festival	40,000
Whau Chinese New Year 2016	13,000
ASEAN Festival	5,000
Festival of Cultures	4,500
Whau Pacific Festival	49,000
	$111,500
Auckland Council Events Unit Delivery
Youth With Disabilities Disco	3,500
Movies In Parks	17,000
	$20,500

Total	$132,000

b) Adopt standard local event partnership funding processes for local event organisers including the following steps:

· submission of an event delivery project plan, containing information outlined in Attachment A, at least two months prior to event date for events receiving funding of $10,000 or more

· provision of a project update to a local board events portfolio meeting for events receiving funding of $20,000 or more

· staged payments for events receiving funding of $20,000 or more with 75% paid on completion of a funding agreement and 25% following submission of a project plan and presentation to an events portfolio meeting.

Comments

6. Local event funding provides an opportunity for Whau Local Board to work in partnership with local event organisers to develop an events programme that reflects community aspirations and supports outcomes from the local board plan.

7. A non-contestable LEPF of $132,000 has been established by Whau Local Board for allocation in 2015/2016.

8. Following discussions with the event portfolio holder and a workshop with local board members on Wednesday, 6 May 2015 a schedule of proposed LEPF allocations has been prepared.

9. Allocation of $111,500 is proposed for five events delivered by local event organisers and the balance of $20,500 allocated for events to be delivered by the Auckland Council Events Unit. The events and funding amounts proposed are:

Local Event Partnership Fund 2015/2016 – Proposed Funding
Local Event Organiser Delivery
Whau the People Arts Festival	40,000
Whau Chinese New Year 2016	13,000
ASEAN Festival	5,000
Festival of Cultures	4,500
Whau Pacific Festival	49,000
	$111,500
Auckland Council Events Unit Delivery
Youth With Disabilities Disco	3,500
Movies In Parks (x3 events) Friday 29 January – Brains Park (Shrek) * Sunday 31 January – Olympic Park (Avengers Age of Ultron) Friday 26^th February – Riversdale Reserve (Transformers Age of Extinction)	17,000
	$20,500

Total	$132,000

*Funded from community response fund

10. The local board has identified a need to capture the objectives, purpose, vision and linkages between funded events and local board priorities. Currently there is no document that captures this strategic information along with operational and financial details for the events.

11. Events Unit staff has prepared a template (Attachment A) to capture the required information which would be completed by event organisers.

12. This information would normally inform local board funding decisions and be a pre-requisite prior to funding agreements being prepared. It would also enable the local board to establish conditions of funding where appropriate and provide a basis for post event reporting and evaluation.

13. Events Unit staff is also able to provide the local board with additional oversight for events being provided with more significant levels of funding. A proposed means of implementing this is through a requirement for event organisers to submit an event delivery project plan no later than two months prior to the event date. Events Unit staff would review the plan and provide feedback to organisers and the local board. A funding threshold of $10,000 is proposed for the requirement to submit a project plan.

14. In addition, with larger funding amounts a staged payment process could be implemented, with 75% of the funding paid following completion of the funding agreement and the remaining 25% paid following submission of the event delivery project plan and a project update to a local board events portfolio meeting. A funding threshold of $20,000 is proposed for the requirement to submit a project plan.

15. The local board may choose to waive these requirements, impose additional conditions, or establish alternative funding payment schedules as considered appropriate on a case by case basis.

16. Advice and support may also be available to event organisers through the Events Unit Empowered Events Programme. This programme is intended to support, enhance and build skills and capacity for community event organisers. Assistance would be subject to availability of unit staff

Local Board views and implications

17. The decisions sought within this report fall within the local board delegations.

18. Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board event funding. The Whau Local Board has identified key priorities for the local area within its local board plan, some of which could be achieved through events.

19. The Whau Local Board seeks to engage with their diverse communities and provide for their social and cultural needs.

20. The decisions sought do not invoke the Auckland Council Significance Policy.

Māori impact statement

21. The funding programme does not specifically target Maori groups. However Maori communities are likely to benefit from the projects delivered as part of this programme, alongside other groups in the community.

Implementation

22. Once the Whau Local Board has resolved the proposed event programme allocations, staff will contact all parties to notify them of the outcome, and commence or continue with planning.

23. Following the individual events supported by the Local Event Partnership Fund the event organisers are required to submit an accountability report to the CDAC Funding team. This information will be supplied to the event portfolio holder.
