Franklin Local Board

24 November 2015

Scope for local dog access rule review

File No.: CP2015/23134

Purpose

1. To determine the timing and scope of the Franklin Local Board review of local dog access rules in 2015/16.

Executive Summary

2. In 2012, Auckland Council’s Governing Body made the Dog Management Bylaw and the Policy on Dogs. The governing body delegated the review of the dog access rules on local parks, beach and foreshore areas to local boards.

3. The governing body delegation requires local boards to review their beach and foreshore dog access rules. The Franklin Local Board has full discretion on whether to review other local dog access rules, including those on local parks.

4. The governing body has established a standard process to assist local boards with the review. The current review process started in September 2015 and is due to end in October 2016.

5. The Franklin Local Board’s decisions on the review scope is the first step in determining what aspects of dog access rules are reviewed and consulted on in 2016.

Recommendation/s

a) That the Franklin Local Board confirms the review of its local dog access rules in 2015/16

b) That the Franklin Local Board confirms the inclusion of the following additional matters within the scope of the review:

i) review of the generic rules and dog exercise areas

ii) review of local parks adjacent to beach and foreshore areas

iii) review of high-use parks and parks of concern to local board

iv) desktop study of all local parks within the local board area to identify existing practical “under control off-leash” parks and existing on-leash parks

c) That the Franklin Local Board delegates Member [insert name] to determine local board engagement initiatives for the review of the local dog access rules in (a) within existing local board budgets, and to be the spokesperson for this project during the pre-consultation period.

Comments

Responsibilities

6. In 2012, the governing body made the Policy on Dogs, and delegated the review of the dog access rules on local beaches, foreshore and parks to local boards. This includes a requirement to review all local beach and foreshore areas by a date determined by the local board (resolution number GB/2012/157).

7. Responsibility for areas of regional significance (including regional parks) and Tūpuna Maunga are delegated to the Auckland Council Parks, Sport and Recreation Committee and the Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority respectively. The Regulatory and Bylaws Committee has overall responsibility for the Policy on Dogs 2012 and region-wide dog access rules (e.g. council playgrounds, sports surfaces, roads, car and boat parking areas, cemeteries, campgrounds and holiday parks).

Process and funding

8. In August and September 2013, local boards were consulted on the level of priority for the local board dog access rule review within their local board areas. As a result of this prioritisation, the local board is scheduled to commence its review of local dog access rules in 2015, with any changes effective from Labour Weekend 2016.

9. In order to facilitate the local board’s review of their dog access rules and take advantage of economies of scale, a regionally funded ‘standard process’ has been established. The ‘standard process’ timeline is structured around council’s annual dog registration process which takes place in June each year. The Dog Control Act requires all dog owners to be notified of any proposed changes to the dog access rule and to follow the special consultative procedure under the Local Government Act 2002 (see Attachment B). Therefore, the standard process for this review consists of the following phases and timeline:

i) Summer 2015/16: staff will gather information and community views to inform the development of proposed changes

ii) April/May 2016: proposed changes will be adopted by the local board

iii) June 2016: proposed changes are notified for consultation to align with the dog registration process

iv) August and September 2016: public hearings and deliberations will be held and a final decision is made.

10. The regional funding provides for the review of beach and foreshore dog access rules, generic public notification initiatives, and generic signage to implement decisions. These activities include:

i) desktop research

ii) site visits (beach and foreshore areas, and high-use parks only)

iii) on-line survey of beach and foreshore areas

iv) on-beach intercept survey, and potential for an on-beach time lapse camera

v) internal stakeholder engagement with staff from parks, animal management, and biodiversity

vi) statutory consultation process (which includes; public notification, submission collation, analysis and associated reporting, staff support at hearings and deliberations).

11. Local boards are required to resource:

i) any additional external workshops or engagement not included in the standard process outlined above

ii) advertisements, media/social media releases not included in the standard process outlined above

iii) the organisation and running of hearings

iv) funding of non-standard signage.

12. Further details of the process and funding are provided in Attachment C.

Existing local board rules

13. The existing dog access rules in the Franklin Local Board area consist of both local dog access rules and regional dog access rules.

14. The regional rules were considered as part of the 2012 review of the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs and apply to all local board areas. The regional rules take precedence over any local dog access rule and cover common public places such as playgrounds, sports fields, roads, car and boat parking areas, cemeteries, campgrounds and holiday parks.

15. Within the Franklin Local Board area, the following local access rules apply:

i) two different sets of time and season rules across different legacy council areas

ii) two different default rules (some off-leash and some on-leash) across different legacy council areas

iii) two different sets of general rules around walkways, public gardens, picnic areas, and the like across different legacy council areas

iv) ten dog exercise areas.

16. The full list of dog access rules for the Franklin Local Board area is included as Attachment A.

Options for the local board to consider

17. The first decision for the local board is to consider when to commence the review of their local dog access rules.

18. If the local board resolves to undertake a review of the local dog access rules in 2015/16, the local board then needs to consider what, if any, rules that relate to local parks will be reviewed (in addition to local beach and foreshore areas which is required).

Start of review

Option A1: Commence the review of the local dog access rules in 2015/16 as scheduled

19. This option involves commencing the local dog access review in 2015/16 as currently scheduled. Under the delegations to the local board, the local board must review their beach and foreshore areas.

20. As part of the beach and foreshore areas review the local board must consider whether or not the regional time and season standard is appropriate to be applied to each beach and foreshore area and the provision of “under control off-leash” at all times dog access areas.

21. The benefits of this option are that:

i) it allows for the implementation of dog access rules that are in keeping with the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs 2012, community preferences, and wildlife considerations by October 2016 as currently scheduled

ii) it allows for the consideration of access rules that are simpler to follow and enforce on the ground

iii) the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs 2012 has created an expectation that the local board will consider whether or not the regional ‘time and season standard’ is appropriate to be applied to the beaches and foreshore areas within their jurisdiction.

22. The disadvantages of this option are that:

i) local board resource is required to investigate options or undertake formal special consultative process with hearings in 2015/16

ii) the public may find it confusing that the consultation is about local parks only and regional parks in the area will not be reviewed until the following year

iii) it adds to local board members’ workload during the 2016 pre-election period.

Option A2: Defer the review of the local dog access until 2016/17

23. This option involves deferring the local dog access review until 2016/17. Under this option staff will bring a second report to the local board in 2016/17 to consider what will be included within the scope of the local dog access review.

24. It is noted that while the local board may defer the review of the local dog access rules, it is required by the delegations to undertake a review of their local access rules.

25. The benefits of this option are that:

i) no local board resource is required to investigate options or undertake the formal special consultative process with hearings in 2015/16

ii) the review of the local dog access rules would be carried out at the same time as regional parks are scheduled to be reviewed. There are eight regional parks in the Franklin Local Board area, namely Awhitu, Omana, Duder, Waitawa, Tawhitokino, Orere Point, Tapapakanga, and the Hunua Ranges

iii) there is no additional workload for local board members during the 2016 pre-election period.

26. The disadvantages of this option are that:

i) resource will be required in 2016/17, which may conflict with 2017 local board plan reviews

ii) confusing or inappropriate dog access rules remain in effect until October 2017

iii) there may be unmet expectations of dog owners that the local board will consider whether or not the regional ‘time and season standard’ is appropriate to be applied to the beaches and foreshore areas within their jurisdiction, from the review of the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs 2012.

Recommendation

27. Staff recommend that a review of the local dog access rules commence in 2015/16 as scheduled (Option A1) as it allows for the implementation of dog access rules that are in keeping with the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs 2012 and are more practical and simpler to understand by the general public. Furthermore, the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs 2012 has created an expectation that the local board will consider whether or not the regional ‘time and season standard’ is appropriate to be applied to the beaches and foreshore areas within their jurisdiction. However, staff note that there is a large number of regional parks in the Franklin Local Board and the board may wish to defer the review until 2016/17 to coincide with the governing body review of regional parks.

Scope of local dog access review

28. As discussed above, where the local board resolves to undertake a review, the board must review the local beach and foreshore area rules. However, the board has discretion as to whether or not it considers any rules that relate to local parks. The scope of the review may include either a single option, or a mix of options B2 to B4 as identified below

Option B1: No review of local parks (status quo)

29. This option involves only reviewing the beach and foreshore areas with no local park rules being considered as part of this review.

30. The benefits of this option are that:

i) any consultation carried out around the beach and foreshore rules will be simpler with fewer issues for the public to consider

ii) any changes, and impacts of the changes, to the local dog access rules will be limited to the beach and foreshore areas

iii) no additional resource is required to investigate or assess local parks.

31. The disadvantages of this option are that it:

i) retains multiple sets of general rules that are often confusing and difficult to communicate and enforce

ii) does not allow for an integrated approach to be taken between beach and foreshore areas and the adjacent parks and reserves

iii) does not allow for a review of high-use parks or areas of potential concern to the board or the community

iv) does not allow for the identification of “practical under control off-leash” areas within the local board schedules.

Option B2: Targeted review of park rules

32. This option involves three distinct parts; a review of the generic rules on all parks and dog exercise areas, a review of all parks adjacent to beaches, and a review of all high use parks or parks with identified concerns.

33. The reviews of the generic rules and dog exercise areas are technical reviews. The generic rules on parks around recreational walkways, public gardens, sportsparks, picnic areas, fitness apparatus areas, and grass sports surfaces (sports fields) when not in use for sporting events are typically difficult to define on the ground and enforce. The review of the dog exercise areas is to evaluate whether or not the existing areas meet the definition of a “designated dog exercise area” as described in the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs 2012, that is, whether they are dog priority areas, or whether the areas are better described as shared spaces for multiple users.

34. The review of the parks adjacent to beaches ensures an integrated approach to the activities within the coastal environment.

35. The review of the high-use parks and the parks with identified concerns is a targeted review of selected parks including site visits and internal workshops as required.

36. The benefits of this option are that:

i) it allows for an integrated approach to be taken to the review of the dog access rules on the beach and foreshore areas and the adjacent parks and reserves

ii) a targeted review of high-use parks and parks with identified issues will limit areas affected by any changes in the dog access rules

iii) a targeted review will limit the complexity of the review when compared to a wider review of all parks within the local board area

iv) it removes or replaces confusing rules that are difficult to communicate and enforce

v) it will result in generic rules being replaced with site specific rules where appropriate, which will be easier to understand and better provide for public safety and comfort or protection of wildlife

vi) it will result in the reclassification of “dog exercise areas” as either “designated dog exercise areas” (where the dog owner is the priority user) or “under control off-leash areas” (where the space is shared with other users) in accordance with criteria in the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs 2012.

vii) a targeted review allows resources to be concentrated on areas with the greatest impact on users.

37. The disadvantages of this option are that:

i) it may result in parks adjacent to the beach and foreshore having different access rules than other local parks

ii) it may result in high-use parks and other local parks having different dog access rules

iii) it will increase the complexity of the issues considered as part of the review

iv) changes to the access rules will affect a number of parks, given the general nature of the generic access rules and the dog exercise areas

v) it may be perceived by dog owners as a reduction in dog access in popular or high amenity parks.

Option B3: High level review to identify practical “under control off-leash” parks

38. This option involves a desktop study of all parks in areas where there is a default “off-leash” rule, to identify the existing practical “under control off-leash” areas and list them in Schedule 2 of the local dog access rules. In areas where there is a default “on-leash” rule, all parks where the default rule applies will also be identified and listed as “on-leash” in Schedule 2.

39. This option makes it easier for dog owners and other users to know where dogs could be exercised under control off-leash and where their dogs must be on-leash.

40. This option would also allow the local board to consider adopting one default rule, or relying on the default rule in Schedule 1, instead of the differing default rules which are currently in place over the Franklin Local Board area. Identifying existing “under control off-leash” and “on-leash” parks means that if the board choses to modify the underlying default rules across the local board area for consistency, the “rules on the ground” will not be significantly changed in these specified parks.

41. The benefits of this option are:

i) the identification and listing of “under control off-leash” areas/parks that are of sufficient size and shape to undertake typical “under control off-leash” activities (e.g. throwing a ball), which will be easier to communicate and understand

ii) it allows for a consideration of whether or not the existing default rules are appropriate for the local board area

iii) it allows for the creation of one default rule across the local board area without significantly impacting the “rules on the ground”.

42. The disadvantages of this option are that:

i) the inclusion of a number of additional parks within the consultation documents will increase the complexity of the consultation

ii) it may be perceived by dog owners as, or if the default dog access rule is changed may result in, a reduction in under control off-leash dog access areas

iii) is not a detailed review of all parks, as this option only seeks to identify areas with existing practical under control off a leash areas.

Option B4: Detailed review of all local parks

43. This option involves a detailed review of all parks (both high and low use) and implements the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs 2012. This option would involve site visits to all parks with consideration as to what dog access rules are best suited to activities occurring on the park and a network-based approach to the wider provision of dog access.

44. This option would also allow the local board to consider adopting one default rule for the local board area.

45. In contrast to the previous options (B2 and B3), the local board would be required to co-ordinate and fully fund this option.

46. The benefits of this option are that it:

i) allows for a detailed site-specific review of all parks in accordance with the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs 2012, community preferences and wildlife considerations

ii) allows for an integrated approach to be taken to the review of the dog access rules on all parks and reserves

iii) provides greater certainty in all parks and reduces the potential for conflict in these areas

iv) removes or replaces confusing rules that are difficult to communicate and enforce.

47. The disadvantages of this option are that:

i) the local board will be required to co-ordinate and fund this detailed review of all parks and reserves, which will be resource intensive^{^[1]}

ii) it will increase the complexity of the issues to be considered by the local board and the community as part of the consultation on any proposed changes to the dog access rules

iii) a detailed review is likely to result in changes to a larger number of parks

iv) additional local board resources would be required when options B2 and B3 are likely to achieve the same outcome in areas of interest.

Recommendation

48. Staff recommend that a review of local dog access rules incorporates both options B2 and B3, as a targeted approach to the review strikes the most appropriate balance between implementing the Auckland Council Policy on Dogs 2012, the complexity and scope of the review, and the resource required to undertake that review.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

49. The views of other local boards have not been sought on the scope of this review. In the 2013/14 and 2014/15 reviews, other local boards chose to review their beach and foreshore areas and adjacent parks, high-use parks, generic rules and dog exercise areas.

50. Consistency with other local board dog access rules is also a factor that the local board may want to take into consideration. Staff will provide advice on decisions made by other local boards during the options analysis and deliberations stages of the review.

Māori impact statement

51. The views of 23 iwi in relation to dog access were sought as part of hui consulting on a range of bylaws held in October 2013 and in March 2015.

52. Feedback from the hui related to the ability of iwi to determine dog access on Marae, and focused on control, responsible dog ownership, and ensuring the protection of sensitive ecological areas. A review of areas of protected wildlife is a matter recommended to be included in the review.

Implementation

53. Staff will work with local board members, engagement advisors and communication advisors to develop a more detailed engagement plan in accordance with the decisions of the local board and existing budgets.

54. Implementation costs, such as updating basic standard signage, are expected to be funded from existing regional budgets.

55. Potential implementation costs to come from local board budgets include: additional research, engagement, and public notification initiatives, and any non-standard signage.
