2015/2016 Lease Workplan - Expedited Renewal Process and Review of Ongoing Lease Management
File No.: CP2015/22841
Purpose
1. The purpose of this report is two-fold. Firstly, to introduce the operational approach to the delivery of this year’s community lease work programme. Secondly, to seek Papakura Local Board approval of the community lease renewals being advanced via this approach.
Executive Summary
2. Community leases are one of the ways in which Council provides support to local community organisations, assisting them to sustain the activities and experiences they provide in alignment with recognised local priorities.
3. Council has a substantial programme of community leasing work to complete this year. The scale of the programme includes a number of existing leases that have rolled over beyond their anticipated expiry date and require attention. There are also a number of leases reaching their renewal or expiry date this year. Staff provided an update to a meeting of the Local Board Chairs on 28 September 2015, which identified the scale of the programme at a network level and introduced a programme approach to help deliver the extra volume of work this year.
4. The programme approach aims to simplify procedures to enable a large number of more routine leases to be fast tracked, whilst focusing necessary attention on those community leases that are more complex. Extra staff resources have been made available to support this peak of work.
5. The main categories of work that are being advanced are:
· The renewal of existing leases
· The award of new land related leases
· The award of new building related leases
· Progressing more complex or involved cases
6. This report includes details of the first batch of fast tracked lease renewals. In every case the group has an existing right of renewal. Staff recommend that these leases be renewed.
7. To maintain productive delivery of this year’s programme, staff will be working closely with the portfolio holder and will operate to any delegations that are in place.
That the Papakura Local Board: a) Approves the renewal of leases to the community organisations shown on Attachment A on the existing terms and conditions. Those community organisations being: · Marne Rd Bowling Club Incorporated (formerly Papakura Women’s Bowling Club Incorporated), 25R Marne Road, Papakura · Papakura Rod and Custom Club Incorporated, Wellington Park, 1R Great South Road, Papakura · South Auckland Car Club Incorporated, Wellington Park, 1R Great South Road, Papakura b) Notes that community outcome plans are not required or provided with these lease renewals.
|
Comments
8. There is a substantial programme of community leasing work to complete this year, with leases due for renewal and/or expired leases to be re-established in all 21 of Auckland’s local board areas. In total there are about 500 work items to complete. Attachment B shows the distribution of this activity by local board.
9. Given the scale of the programme, staff have adopted a new approach to operational delivery this year, aimed at increasing productivity whilst supporting good governance. The approach will simplify procedures to enable a large number of more routine leases to be fast tracked, whilst focusing necessary attention on those community leases that are more complex. Extra staff resources have been made available to support this work.
10. There are three routine categories of work are being advanced.
· The renewal of existing leases
· The award of new land related leases
· The award of new building related leases
Staff will work closely with the appointed local board portfolio holder and progress this work in batches.
11. The following table shows the initial assessment of work in the Papakura Local Board area.
Type of leases |
Fast track |
Complex |
Renewals |

1 |
New Leases |
10 |
7 |
12. Progressing renewals is the priority first phase of this year’s programme. Alongside the fast track renewals, new leases and more complex renewals that require further input will be progressed.
13. Some of the leases requiring consideration are more complex or involved. These typically relate to situations where there are multiple stakeholder interests, external dependencies or issues related to the classification of reserves. Again, staff will work closely with the local board portfolio holder to prioritise and progress these cases once the more routine renewals are able to be progressed.
14. Attachment A includes the details of the lease renewals that are of a routine nature and it is recommended that these renewals be approved.
Consideration
Local Board Views and Implications
15. Staff provided an update to a meeting of the Local Board Chairs on 28 September 2015, which identified the scale of the community lease workload at a network level and introduced a programme approach to help deliver the work this year.
16. The content of this report has been discussed with the local board portfolio holder, including the rationale applied to the assessment of routine and more complex leases.
17. To maintain productive delivery of this year’s programme, staff will continue to work closely with the portfolio holder and will operate to the delegations that are in place.
Māori Impact Statement
18. Community leases generally supporting a wide range of activities and groups and are awarded based on an understanding of local needs, interest and priorities. As such, they are designed to create local benefits to many communities, including Maori.
Implementation
19. Staff will execute the decisions sought within this report promptly to ensure the occupying groups have clarification/confirmation of their tenancy.

Discussion
Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF):
3. The Papakura Local Board is allocated $306,184 per annum from the Local Board Transport Capital Fund. These funds can be used annually or rolled together to use the full three years’ of funding. You can find the financial update (as at 12 October) at Attachment B.
4. Taking into account funding already allocated, The Papakura Local Board has $737,308 remaining to be utilised in this electoral term.
5. For larger projects the 2016/17 financial year’s LBTCF ($306,184) can also be brought forward, providing a total of $1,043,492 to spend, if the Board wishes.
6. The Board has asked Auckland Transport to investigate using the LBCTF allocation to undertake the following projects:
Project |
Description |
Status |
Projected Cost |
Connection of Railway Station and Town Centre: |
Looking at ways of cognitively linking the town Centre with the Railway station. Projects for further investigation include: Transport leads have agreed to focus on the following: · Parklet outside Library · Public space - Gallery car park · Covered walkway between platform and Railway Street West · Extension of walkway along Railway Street West · Beautification – greenery
|
Resolution requesting AT to proceed to design and provide a Rough Order of Cost (ROC) for the six identified projects was passed on 20 May 15. Auckland Transport (AT) has contracted Thresher Associates Ltd to undertake design work on the Parklet, Gallery car park and beautification. Auckland Transport (AT) and Will Thresher presented ideas for the Covered walkway on 27 October 2015. The final concept was confirmed by Elected Members at that meeting. Further details below. The Parklet, Beautification and Public Space are still being progressed.
|
To be determined through the Rough Order of Cost phase. |
Colour Treatment - Intersections |
Road treatment (red) on 4 entrance intersections into Papakura
|
Resolution requesting AT to provide a Rough Order of Cost (ROC) passed on 20 May 15. Sites requested are: *Railway Street West and Averill Street *Averill Street and Great South Road *Elliot/Broadway/GSR *Queen Street and GSR *O’Shanussey Street and GSR AT can only do red markings where there are delineated crossing points for pedestrians, although this does not apply at zebra crossings. Full details with resolutions can be found later in this section. |
To be determined through the Rough Order of Cost phase. |
Blue disabled car park markings |
Instillation of full Blue disabled car parks in line with Mobility Parking recommendations. |
Resolution requesting AT to provide a Rough Order of Cost (ROC) was passed on 20 May 15. Marking disabled car parks with blue paint markings is not compatible with the AT Code of Practice. |
This project is not supported by AT. |
Current Papakura Local Board Project Update:
Project |
Description |
Status |
Projected Cost |
Refresh of signage in Papakura |
Refresh of navigation and directional signage, identification of parking buildings and areas of significance/interest (Maraes, galleries) |
AT provided Transport leads (26/2/15) further information and recommendations regarding the way finding project.
The strictly way finding is currently being finalized although some direction on the requested Town Centre signage is still outstanding from the Papakura LB
|
On July 16. 2014 the Board approved a maximum of $110,000 to refresh the signage in the Papakura Local Board area. |
Covered Walkway Project:
7. The concept for the covered walkway (shown below*) is part of a series of initiatives by the Board under the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) to improve Papakura Town Centre. In particular strengthen the connection between the Great South Road, Library/Museum, Art Gallery and Railway Station.
*the full concept design plans can be found at attachment A
8. The proposed walkway will extend from the railway station forecourt along Railway Street West, first on one side then on the other, joining into Averill Street at the corner and running to the mid-block pedestrian crossing. The locations of the proposed additions and replacements can be found on the plans at Attachment A. The design incorporates distinctive ends to the existing structures to create a full walkway. The proposed new units are taller, wider and finished in timber to create a softer more welcoming enclosure in contrast with the glass and steel of the existing elements.
9. The final design agreed by the Board will be taken through the tender process in order for Auckland Transport to provide a Firm Estimate of Cost (FEC). A resolution requesting Auckland Transport to seek a FEC for the Covered walkway between platform and Railway Street West and the extension of walkway along Railway Street West can be found in the recommendation section above.
Road Treatment (Red) on Entrance Intersections into Papakura:
10. Under the Manual of Traffic Signs and Markings (MOTSAM) Auckland Transport is only able to use red marking treatments where there are delineated crossing points for pedestrians, although this does not apply at zebra crossings. The only possible types of sites are: at signalised pedestrian crossings or at full traffic signals at intersections where there are legs with pedestrian facilities. i.e pedestrian lanterns, call buttons, and road markings to guide pedestrians.
1. Railway Street West / Averill Street
|
There are no delineated crossing points for pedestrians at this intersection so it is not possible to mark any red colour treatments at this location.
However, there are two possible locations at Railway Street West and Clevedon Road as shown at the top of the photo.
|
2. Averill Street / Great South Road
|
There are no delineated crossing points for pedestrians at this intersection so it is not possible to mark any red colour treatments at this location.
|
3. Elliot Street / Broadway / Great South Road
|
There are four delineated crossing points for pedestrians at this intersection which currently have a different textured surface to make them stand out from the rest of the road. It is possible to colour these four crossing points in red.
ROC Estimate (including traffic management) is $85/m2. Estimate per leg of intersection (15m long by 3m wide = 45m2) = $3,850
Total estimate for 4 legs = $15,400 ($16,000)
|
4. Queen Street / Great South Road
|
There are two delineated crossing points for pedestrians at this intersection which currently have a different textured surface to make them stand out from the rest of the road. It is possible to colour these two crossing points in red.
ROC Estimate (including traffic management) is $85/m2. Estimate per leg of intersection (17m long by 3m wide = 51m2) = $4,350
Total estimate for 2 legs = $8,700 ($9,000)
|
5. O’Shannessey Street / Great South Rd
|
There are two delineated crossing points for pedestrians at this intersection which are only marked by the double white lines. It is possible to colour these two crossing points in red.
ROC Estimate (including traffic management) is $85/m2. Estimate per leg of intersection (average of 17m long by 3m wide = 51m2) = $4,350
Total estimate for 2 legs = $8,700 ($9,000) |
SUMMARY:
It is only possible to carry out red markings at three of the five proposed intersections.
|
ROC Estimate:
1. Railway St West / Averill St (NA) 2. Averill St / Great South Rd(NA) 3. Elliot St / Broadway / Great South Rd ($16k) 4. Queen St / Great South Rd ($9k) 5/ O’Shannessey St / Great South Road ($9k)
Total ROC Estimate $34k
|
General Information Items
HOP Card Price Change
11. The HOP card originally cost $10, including GST, when it was launched in 2012, but since then Auckland Transport has discounted it to $5.00 to encourage uptake. The actual cost of the card is $8.54, excluding GST, and Auckland Transport has been funding the shortfall. This is significant, considering over 600,000 cards have been sold.
12. Now that most customers have a HOP card, AT is removing the discount which was applied while the system was rolled out and bedded down.
13. The increase will apply from Thursday 17 December, 2015.
Cycling Numbers Increasing
14. The number of people cycling in Auckland is up 7% according to research released recently by Auckland Transport. An independent survey conducted earlier in the year, looked at the walking and cycling habits of more than 1600 people living in Auckland and compared the findings with last year.
15. It found that the number of people who said that they did any cycling at all went from 20% to 27%. The number of people cycling at least once a week was also up to 11% compared with 6%, 12 months ago.
16. While the reason for cycling is still exercise or fitness (68%) or recreation (48%), there was a steady growth in those saying cycling to work was the reason they get on a bike (up to 16% from 12%). The survey also gathered information about where people lived and found that those living directly east and west of the city have the highest proportion of people cycling.
17. This research is a source of real data in order for AT to plan ahead for the future cycle improvements. Putting in protected cycle facilities in the right parts of the city will make people feel and be safer when riding around the city. To maximise the investment which has come from local and central government, AT plans to improve the network for cycling into and around the city centre as well connections to public transport interchanges.
18. People living in the inner city and the corridor running north-south from the city have the highest potential for growth in cycling. To get people cycling, overcoming perception of safety seems to be the greatest barrier.

11. Jennys Road Construction – Great Barrier Island
This road was established as an outcome of an Environment Court decision. The road has been designed as a single lane road with passing bays. Stage 1 was completed in May 2014, and Stage 2 commenced in October 2014. Physical works and the final walkover with the contractor have been completed.
12. Redoubt Road-Mill Road Corridor Improvements
The project on Redoubt Road provides for four lanes from SH1 to Murphys Road, and includes bus priority lane, cycle lanes and a 60km/h speed limit, and signals and bus priority lane at the Hollyford Drive/Redoubt Road intersection. The hearing has now been completed and the commissioners’ decision is expected within one to two months.
Services
13. Driver Licensing Challenge
Young Driver safety is a high priority in the national Safer Journeys strategy, and Auckland Young Driver death and serious injury (DSI) rates make up 30% of the regions DSI crashes. This issue is exacerbated by the high proportion of unlicensed young drivers in the region. An inter-agency Co-Design Lab was founded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment that explores ways to improve access to driver licensing. AT is part of the team along with ACC, Ministry of Education, Auckland Council, Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) and Otara youth based at the Otara's Crosspower youth centre. The Co-Design team will engage with Maori and Pasifika youth at Crosspower where over 250 youth attend each week. The initial stage of this four month project will end in November with recommendations to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
14. Primary Schools Lead Teacher Workshop
Over the past five years there has been an increase in deaths and serious injuries (DSI) for 5-10 year old pedestrians during weekdays in peak traffic hours. The Travelwise team looked to address this issue at a recent primary schools lead teacher workshop in the CBD. Seventy teachers attended the workshop by rail to explore ‘Transporting our Students into the Future’ and develop curriculum programmes that would support safer travel for students and increased use of active transport (Public Transport PT, Walking and Cycling) options to help reduce congestion.
15. Travel Demand (2014/15 Year)
The Commute travel planning programme has a focus on engagement with commuters and businesses this year. This quarter has seen the development of a campaign to promote travel choice which will be launched in October. A focus has been the development of travel demand plans for the Devonport Peninsula, Albany Highway and City Rail Link, and implementation of these plans is underway.
16. Route Optimisation
The regional Route Optimisation is underway, which forms part of the programme for Network Optimisation, including traffic signal improvements, minor changes to the road network and the inclusion of transit lanes, freight lanes and trial of Dynamic lanes.
Road Corridor Delivery
17. Key Highlights
In the 2015/2016 financial year, AT is planning to deliver 37.7 km of pavement rehabilitation, 480.1 km of resurfacing (which includes 88.9 km of hotmix and 391.2 km of chip-sealing), 75.7 km of footpath renewals and 82.7 km of kerb and channel replacement. This represents a total of 676 km or around 9% of work on AT’s 7,300km network. Table 1 below outlines this work in more detail.
Table 1: Progress against Asset Renewal Targets
18. The new Streetlight maintenance and renewal contracts commenced on 1 August 2015. There are now four contracts across the region with one dedicated contract for the Hauraki Gulf Islands. The new contractors are Downer (Central and South), Electrix (North and West) and NorthPower (HGI). Tenders have also been called for the supply of 8,000 LED luminaires to replace existing 70W HPS lamps on the network in the 2015/2016 financial year.
19. AT’s second Asset Management Plan (AMP) covering the period 2015-2018 has been published and is available to download from the AT website.
20. Monitoring of Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) at work sites is continuing to ensure compliance with the approved traffic management plans and to identify opportunities for improvement. The average percentage of low risk sites for Quarter 1 is 96%*[1] (The target is 90%)
Fig 1: Compliance with approved traffic management plans
21. The Corridor Access Request (CAR) team continues to process around 1,300 applications per month. These requests are for network operators from the water and telecommunication industry to access and maintain their assets sitting within the road corridor. Access is also sought by private operators and individuals who need to access the road network to undertake activities such as private water connections etc.

Options for the Refurbishment and Management of Awhi House, Smith’s Avenue Reserve, Papakura
File No.: CP2015/24026
Purpose
1. To provide the Papakura Local Board with options for the refurbishment and management of Awhi House, Smith’s Avenue, Papakura.
Executive Summary
2. Awhi House (also formerly known as Pikorua House), an Auckland Council community facility, is a small, wooden cottage built circa 1960’s for residential purposes. It is situated on Smith’s Avenue Reserve. Smith’s Avenue Community Hall and netball courts are located on this same reserve.
3. The building was moved onto the site and operated successfully for some time as a local community hub, providing a space from which several agencies could connect with and serve residents of the area. With the withdrawal of some of those agencies, there was a gradual loss of impetus from the initiative and by 2015 the building is no longer performing its function as a community facility.
4. The building was not designed as a community facility. Through the wear and tear of use over the years and some abuse that has occurred more recently, the building is in poor condition and will require capital investment and refurbishment before it can be reopened as a community facility.
5. There are relatively few facilities within Papakura and no facility providing the types of programmes and activities that are typical of community centres, houses and hubs present in other urban areas within Auckland. The 2014 Papakura Local Board Plan identifies the importance of creating local community hubs and notes a priority on improving the facilities at Smith’s Avenue reserve.
6. In considering options for the future operation of Awhi House, staff have assumed a role in which it will serve a catchment that is within a 2km radius of the facility, with a focus on providing activities and experiences that are aligned to identified local board priority areas. For example
· Promoting health and wellbeing
· Providing activities for youth and youth development
· Celebrating the diversity and heritage of the area
· Creating connections within the local community
7. Two options are considered for the refurbishment of the current building, both of which will successfully re-establish the community facility. Staff recommend option 1, which involves spending $57,000 of capital to repair and partially refurbish the building to a standard that will enable it to withstand light to moderate use as a community facility. It is anticipated that this investment will extend its life by a further ten years. This option represents the optimum investment required to recommence community development activities from this site and recognises that it is a practical place to begin, whilst the community considers its long term ambitions for this site.
8. Three management options are considered. Each of them has the potential to provide some services and experiences expected of a community hub. Staff recommend option 2, which involves spending up to $100,000 of opex per annum to enable a community-led community hub, managed and operated by a local community organisation or group. The ongoing funding will be used to support the operating overheads of the enterprise as well as resourcing the programmes and activities that would operate from and around the facility.
9. Experience shows that the best way to assure success of community-led ventures like these is to “resource them for success” and not assume that third party funding will be available to support routine costs. In parallel, it is preferable to invest in the development and growth of the entity itself. Staff recommend that further resourcing be made available to support mentoring and capability building with the selected group.
10. Subject to formal decision making, staff could commence the implementation of this approach prior to January 2016.
That the Papakura Local Board: a) Confirms its intention to reactivate Awhi House as a community hub, providing activities and experiences to the neighbourhood in which it is located with a priority focus on i) Promoting health and wellbeing ii) Providing activities for youth and youth development iii) Celebrating the diversity and heritage of the area iv) Creating connections within the local community b) Confirms that it will invest up to $57,000 of capital renewal funds, to repair and partially refurbish Awhi House to a standard that will enable it to withstand light to moderate use as a community facility. Noting that this investment should sustain the life of the building for a further ten years. c) Confirms its intention to seek a suitable community group or organisation to manage and operate the facility and request staff commence an expression of interest process to explore local interest and capability. d) Agrees that an amount of $100,000 per annum be made available, from the Papakura Local Board LDI budget, to resource the management and operation of the facility and agree in principle to making further resources available to help develop the capability and capacity of the successful group as appropriate.

Comments
Alignment with Council Strategic Direction
11. One of the actions in the recently finalised Community Facilities Network Plan is to “Investigate opportunities to improve the existing facilities in Papakura, including Massey Park Grandstand, Elizabeth Campbell Hall, Takanini Hall, Papakura (Sir Edmond Hillary) Library meeting room and Smiths Avenue Clubs rooms, Hawkins Theatre, Papakura arts gallery”. The driver for this work is whether the facilities are “fit for purpose” and “performing”.
Background
12. Awhi House (also formerly known as Pikorua House), an Auckland Council community facility, is a small, wooden cottage built circa 1960’s. It is situated on Smith’s Avenue Reserve, which is a 1.5 ha recreation reserve held in trust by the council on behalf of the Crown. Smith’s Avenue Community Hall and netball courts are located on the same reserve.
13. The house operated successfully for a period of time as a local community facility, providing a base from which agencies could connect with and serve the local community. These activities have now ceased, the facility is not being used and the building has deteriorated.
14. Staff have been concerned that the nature and condition of the building and its vulnerability to vandalism and abuse limit its potential as a community facility and may constrain opportunities to establish viable community programmes from it.
15. However, there is keen community interest in the building and the local board has requested advice from staff to assist in understanding what is possible and feasible to achieve from the existing set-up. Building condition inspections were completed in April and August 2015. The findings of the August inspection are included (Attachment A) and confirm the property opinion that the building has reached the end of its economic life.
16. A range of cost estimates for repair and refurbishment indicate that this work could cost in the region of $57,000. Quotes were sought in September 2015 based on a reduced scope of work. These quotes from DTZ, Spotless, Cushman and Wakefield and Downers are contained in the confidential agenda as they are commercially sensitive.
17. A key initiative in the Strong, Safe and Healthy Communities outcome in the 2014 Papakura Local Board Plan is to improve Smith’s Avenue reserve as part of an initiative to provide multi-purpose community hubs. This report therefore considers the future of Awhi House in this context and discusses refurbishment and management options premised upon the idea that the future facility would function as a community hub.
18. A community hub would aim to serve its community by providing a range of programmes, activities and experiences, tailored to meet the known needs and interests of that community. Typically the activity would be developed with and for members of the community, providing direct and indirect opportunities for connection, participation and leadership amongst the target audience. The local board plan has identified several local priorities through engagement with the residents of Papakura. Some of those which one might expect the community hub to build its programmes and activities around are as follows;
· Promoting health and wellbeing
· Providing activities for youth and youth development
· Celebrating the diversity and heritage of the area
· Creating connections within the local community
An illustrative programme is included at Attachment F.
Demographic Data
19. The likely core catchment of Awhi House extends across a 2 kilometres radius. An analysis of this catchment shows us that in 2013 there were 29,706 residents within this area.
20. The make up of the catchment shows considerable ethnic diversity.
21. Of the ten census units that are partially or fully contained within the catchment area, eight have a deprivation index score of 9 or 10. This being the highest score of the deprivation index which ranges from 1 to 10.
22. Smith’s Avenue reserve is therefore located within a relatively densely populated area with a diverse community likely to be experiencing a range of needs and challenges.
Network Analysis
23. Awhi House is co-located on this reserve with Smith’s Avenue community hall and netball courts. With a footprint of about 52 square metres, the house is small, even when compared to other community houses within the wider council network that are similarly converted residences intended to operate at a neighbourhood level.
24. As the building retains its residential layout, rooms are very small, most suitable for small group, short session work or one-to-one clinic style meetings. This is a constraint to establishing a varied practice. The proximity of the netball courts and community hall provide extra capacity and a different style and size of space that should be utilised as part of a more integrated approach on this site.
Options analysis
Refurbishment
options
25. Attachment G summarises the options that are available when considering the refurbishment of the facility and identifies the associated advantages and disadvantages.
26. Option 1, which involves spending $57,000 of capital to repair and partially refurbish the building to a standard that will enable it to withstand light to moderate use as a community facility. This option will bring the building back to useable standard relatively quickly. It is anticipated that this investment will extend its life by a further ten years.
27. Option 2 seeks to invest the same amount of money to achieve similar outcomes but proposes that the work be undertaken under the leadership of a community venture, to be established. In this scenario the monies could be used to repair and refurbish the existing building or to contribute to the cost of a replacement building. There is more risk associated with this option and it will take longer to see an improvement on site.
28. Staff believe option 1 is preferable as it represents the optimum investment required to recommence community development activities from this site and recognises that it is a practical place to begin, whilst the community considers its long term ambitions for this site.
Management
options
29. Attachment G summarises the options that are available when considering the management and operation of the facility and identifies the associated advantages and disadvantages.
30. Option 1 involves establishing a council-led community hub practice. It will require ongoing operational funding of about $100,000 per annum to cover the staff costs ($65,000), programming costs ($20,000), and overheads ($15,000). Multiple groups and individuals would have both regular and casual access to the space and to any programmes provided with the precinct (hub hall and open space together). This option would provide for straightforward managerial control and clear governance oversight control, helping to ensure that start up issues are managed and the practice is established as intended.
31. Option 2 involves establishing a community-led community hub practice. It is assumed that it will require a similar level of operation funding to option 1; operational funding of about $100,000 per annum to cover the staff costs ($65,000), programming costs ($20,000), and overheads ($15,000). The intent would be to establish the same community focused practice, providing activities designed to serve all elements of the community. A community-led venture, derived from within the area it serves, might find it easier to connect with the neighbourhood and build a sense of identity more quickly than a council-led venture.
32. Option 3 involves establishing a community-led venture on site, by using the mechanism of a community lease. Such an arrangement would typically not require opex investment as well as the access to the subsidised accommodation, though the board may wish to provide a grant to support specific activities. The intent would be to establish a more focused practice by working in partnership with a lessee which has proven expertise in one of the local board priority areas. For example, possibly seeking a provider who could provide health / wellbeing focused activities. Naturally, the span of influence even from a very successful operation would be less than for a well-run community hub.
33. Option 2 is preferable as the benefits of having a locally representative group leading the establishment of the new community hub are likely to be considerable. An expression of interest process would need to be developed carefully to ensure the selected group is considered locally appropriate and has the mandate and confidence of the community it would serve and support.
34. Experience shows that the best way to assure success of community-led ventures like these is to “resource them for success” and not assume that third party funding will be available to support routine costs. In parallel it is preferable to invest in the development and growth of the entity itself. Staff recommend that further resourcing be made available to support mentoring and capability building with the selected group.
Consideration
Local Board Views and Implications
35. The split classification of the reserve has been resolved. The classification to enable activity from both recreation and community use is still in progress but the management models for Awhi House in this report can still be considered.
36. Any public consultation and Mana Whenua consultation required will commence, once the local board has decided on the options in this report.
37. The current allocated budget for capex renewals is $103,389. This has an immediate implication for the other proposed renewals work. Re-prioritisation will need to be considered as $57,000 proposed for the Awhi House refurbishment will be coming from the capital renewals fund. Following the decision by the local board on this report the capex advisor will be able to suggest renewals priorities.
38. Staff acknowledge some local board members would prefer to explore a community-led refurbishment project and there is a view that this could be a more cost effective way of bringing the building back into use. Whilst there are examples of successful community-led refurbishment projects, the success is generally based upon working with highly motivated, established groups who have the capability to undertake the work and project management required. In this case, there is no such group ready to lead this initial stage. Given that the future of this facility is dependent on a successful refurbishment of the building staff suggest the works be completed in-house.
Maori Impact Statement
39. According to 2013 census 31 per cent (8583) of residents in the Papakura area identify themselves as Maori. Maori, along with other residents, should have the opportunity to benefit from and participate in the practice of a contemporary community hub.
Implementation
40. Subject to formal decision making, staff could commence the implementation of this approach prior to January 2016. It is assumed that implementation will be supported by the relevant local strategic broker from within the recently established Community Empowerment Unit within council.

Attachment A: Awhi House Inspection
August 2015
18R Smiths Ave, Papakura
Background:
The building appears to be approximately 55 - 60 years old.
Construction materials used include timber framing and hardiplank (or similar) cladding and tile roofing. Hardiplank cladding came with a 30 year warranty – in other words a period of time approximately half its current existence. There are still many homes in existence today which also have hardiplank cladding, in various states of repair; however the difference between a private residential dwelling and a public community building is the level of wear and tear and vandalism the community building attracts. No community buildings constructed from scratch for Council occupancy or community use include this material as it is not robust enough.
Present Condition:
The house is currently boarded up.
The broken downpipes were repaired but the spouting is cracked and damaged.
The security alarm is operational.
The interior is in very poor condition – carpets worn and stained, cabinetry very poor, all walls knocked about, scratched, minor damage
The layout remains as when it was a residential house and thus has areas (such as the laundry) which are not used. Given that the house is only approximately 52 square meters in size, this further restricts useable space and makes it impractical and too small for many community groups.
Many exterior planks are broken
The timber framing is in old condition
One of the back doors has no steps
Many of the timbers which cover and block the foundations are broken.
Some of the timber forming the back steps and porch area is showing signs of rot.
The building has no insulation.
Property Manager Opinion:
It is the opinion of Council Property Management officers and Council contractors that this building has reached the end of its serviceable life.
A quote to complete remedial work on the building and re-establish its functionality has indicated a price of approximately $50,000. This may well need to be increased to allow for replacement of the broken hardiplank and foundation timbers. For this outlay, Council would get a fully refurbished building made fit for purpose.
The refurbishment may prolong its life for up to 10 years if the building were in a safe environment and free from vandal attacks. Unfortunately this is not the case and it is the opinion of Council officers that it is likely to extend the life of the building for only another 3 – 5 years. No building can sustain the kind of vandalism which Pikorua House has been exposed to without it causing lasting damage such as exposure to moisture getting into the framing, possible damage to the footings, damage to the fixtures holding spouting and downpipes in place, damage to the battons onto which the hardiplank is fixed etc.
Therefore it is difficult to see the financial sense of spending this money for such a short period of time that the building would be functional.
In addition the cost of ongoing vandalism repairs has to be included, and these are, on average, a minimum of $500 plus per attack. Over the last 12 months, the house has sustained at least 14 or 15 attacks.
Contractor Opinion:
This email serves as confirmation of previous conversations had around the proposed works at the above mentioned property. After our initial site visit and review of the existing property and the its current state, I feel that due to its location and the state in which it has been left in, I don’t feel there would be any benefits to carrying out the proposed refurbishment works.
In my opinion, I feel that the existing building has failed because of a). Poor / substandard building materials utilised during its original construction, as we know it was constructed in the late 50’s early 60’s and unfortunately not all materials at that time were made to last and b). It has not been well utilised or maintained and as such it may not be guaranteed that a refurbished building would be any better treated and given the location, it may just get vandalised again.
I do believe the building has come to the end of its useful life and I don’t believe the carrying out the refurbishment works would prolong or extend that period of life.
Summary:
· Building is in a poor condition
· Remedial work will cost $50,000 plus
· Remedial work will extend the life by approximately 3 – 5 years
· Building location and circumstances leave it open to ongoing vandal attacks
· Vandal attacks of at least 14 – 15 over last 12 months, averaging $500 for each
· Council officers and contractors recommend demolition

Option1 Council-led repair and refurbishment |
Invest $57,000 of capital to repair and partially refurbish the building to a standard that will enable it to withstand light to moderate use as a community facility. The footprint of the building remains the same. It is anticipated that this investment will extend its life by a further ten years, assuming ongoing opex investment and further renewals as required. |
· Confidence of knowing works are delivered to code compliant standard by council contractors · Works commence and completed relatively quickly once fully scoped · Represents a good return on investment as it enables the facility to open and operate for ten years |
· Provides a modest extension to the life of the facility but not significantly · Does not materially increase the footprint of the building or improve the amenity it provides · Situation means the building is likely to remain vulnerable to abuse, whilst occupation is confirmed |
Option 2 Community-led repair and refurbishment / replacement |
Either, invest $57,000 of capital to repair and partially refurbish the building to a standard that will enable it to withstand light to moderate use as a community facility as part of a community-led venture; or, in this scenario, the monies could be used to contribute to the cost of a replacement building as part of a community-led fund-raising project.
|
· Could engender a real sense of local ownership and pride if the community group chosen to operate the hub also commissions and overseas the improvement work locally · Used as contributory funding, further investment could be leveraged from third parties well a savvy community organisation |
· May take longer to realise the results · A greater level of risk associated with community-led capital projects, especially during the start-up phase of the venture · Situation means the building is likely to remain vulnerable to abuse, whilst occupation is confirmed |

Preliminary Site Investigation for the Takanini Library and Community Hub - Findings and Recommendations
File No.: CP2015/23994
Purpose
1. To outline the key findings of the preliminary site investigations for the Takanini library and community hub and recommend next steps.
Executive Summary
2. In August 2015 the Governing Body endorsed the Community Facilities Network Plan (the network plan). The plan provides direction on the development of new facilities, major upgrades of existing facilities, optimisation and potential divestment of facilities no longer meeting community needs.
3. The Community Facilities Network Plan identified priority actions in Takanini and Papakura relating to current and future provision, and capital funding of $6.3million has been identified in the Long Term Plan 2015-2025.
4. A number of developers have approached Papakura Local Board to express their interest in having the library and community hub located within their development sites.
5. A preliminary review of potential sites has been completed based on broad site and building requirements. The review confirms that there is likely to be a budget shortfall, without a definitive brief of requirements to assist with planning and feasibility analysis.
6. In order to purchase land or lease land using the money allocated in the LTP budget a business case will need to be developed and provided to the governing body. A business case would also be necessary to secure additional funds, if required. It is therefore critical that a robust business case is developed based on evidence from a needs assessment and findings of a feasibility study.
7. Due to requirements for a business case and potential funding constraints, it is recommended that the Papakura Local Board defer further investigations on potential sites for the Takanini library and community hub until a needs assessment and location analysis has been completed.
8. A needs assessment has been planned as a priority action for the Papakura and Takanini area. A needs assessment is the first stage of investigation in planning for new facilities and will assist the board’s decision making around how best to meet the community need.
9. The needs assessment will make recommendations to the local board including options for:
a. maximising the current network of facilities (such as optimisation, expansion, reclassification or governance)
b. servicing and programming across the local board area (including new opportunities for user groups, nature of services and timing of programming)
c. the development of a new library/community facility.
10. Site assessment criteria will be developed using the information from the needs assessment and will be used to identify potential optimal sites for a new library/community facility in Takanini.
11. The needs assessment and options report will be provided to the board in June 2016, with the development of site criteria in July 2016. The proposed timetable for delivery gives the Papakura Local Board certainty around timeframes which may also be helpful to provide feedback to interested developers.
That the Papakura Local Board: a) approve undertaking a full needs assessment and needs analysis to inform facility requirements and population to be served to maximise access to the library and community hub. b) agree to defer further site investigations for the development of a library and community hub until a community needs assessment and location analysis has been completed to support decision making. |
Comments
Background
Community Facilities Network Plan
12. The Community Facilities Network Plan (the network plan) has been endorsed by the Papakura Local Board and was approved by the Regional and Local Strategy Committee in August 2015. The plan provides direction on the development of new facilities, major upgrades of existing facilities, optimisation and potential divestment of facilities no longer meeting community needs.
13. Preliminary research conducted through the development of the network plan identified and confirmed the following issues for community facility provision in the Papakura Local Board area:
a. there are potential gaps in local community facility provision and community needs may not be being met by current facilities
b. the community facility network is not sufficient to accommodate anticipated residential growth for the area, whilst maintaining existing levels of provision.
14. As a result, the network plan identified three priority actions for the Papakura/Takanini area:
a. action 81 - develop library and community space in the Takanini area to address population growth and existing gaps
b. action 82 - investigate opportunities to improve existing facilities in Papakura, including Massey Park Grandstand, Elizabeth Campbell Hall, Takanini Hall, Papakura (Sir Edmund Hillary) Library Meeting Room and Smiths Avenue Clubroom, Hawkins Theatre, Papakura arts gallery.
c. action 83 - investigate community needs and opportunities for community facilities to address population growth and potential gap in provision.
Development of a New Facility in Takanini
15. In 2013 preliminary research and engagement occurred around the development of a library in Takanini. The resident engagement however was extremely limited. Due to the limitation of this work, the findings of the investigation were held until further information could be gathered around the wider community facility network, and more in-depth resident engagement could be conducted through the completion of a community needs assessment.
16. Needs assessments combine secondary research with evidence from community stakeholders to identify need and provide recommendations on the requirements of any new development. They are the first stage of investigation in planning, and will assist the board’s decision making around how best to meet the community need.
17. $6.3 million is allocated in the capital budget of the Long Term Plan 2015-2025 (LTP) for the development of a Library and Community hub in Takanini.
18. A number of developers have approached Papakura Local Board to express their interest in having the library and community hub located within their development sites.
19. Papakura Local Board requested staff conduct a preliminary site review of potential locations for the new facility. The review:
a. identified the opportunities available in the market
b. confirmed the Council owned land in the area
c. considered the cost of development based on different tenure delivery models and the budget available through the LTP
d. concluded that a more definitive design brief would assist with feasibility analysis of the options.
20. The preliminary site review examined a number of sites, and refined that to a potential shortlist of sites for further investigation. The detailed findings of the review were presented to the Papakura Local Board in a workshop on 28 October 2015.
21. Following the workshop staff from Pānuku Development Auckland provided the board with a memo outlining the findings associated with each site considered in the investigation.
Discussion
Findings of Preliminary Site Investigations
22. Whilst library and community needs are not yet defined, the site requirements used to identify potential sites were:
Land area: |
3000m2 - 3500 m2 or thereabouts
|
Build area: |
1000m2 or thereabouts (800m2 for library and 200m2 for other users, TBD).
|
Zoning: |
Commercial / Town - Local Centre / Mixed Use / Other.
|
23. Other site attributes assessed were:
Accessibility: |
Sufficient parking (either available or capable of being provided), cycle / public transport routes
|
Civic amenity: |
Adjacent to public space or potential to incorporate public space. |
Integration: |
Proximity, compatibility and synergies with local shopping and activity centres, existing community services / parks etc. schools, medical centres, and the like.
|
Outlook: |
High profile site / visible street frontage
|
Collaboration: |
Sites containing potential for strong delivery partnerships |
24. Whilst the LTP provides capital funding, the different sites investigated included a variety of tenure delivery models, with different cost implications.
Acquire, design and construct
|
Between $7.2m-$10m+ capex (including fitout) |
Partnered design and build (to lease)
|
$3m-$5m capex (fitout) + $300k-$450k+ opex p/a |
Construct on existing landholdings |
$6m-$8m capex (fitout incl.) |
25. These high level cost ranges provided by Pānuku Development Auckland show that there is likely to be a funding shortfall when compared to the LTP budget of $6.3million.
26. In order to purchase land or lease land using the money allocated in the LTP budget a business case will need to be developed and provided to the governing body. A business case would also be necessary to secure additional funds, if required. It is therefore critical that a business case is developed based on evidence from a needs assessment and findings of a feasibility study.
Next Steps
27. Due to requirements for a robust business case and potential funding constraints, it is recommended that the Papakura Local Board defer further investigations on potential sites for the Takanini library and community hub until a needs assessment and location analysis has been completed.
28. The needs assessment will examine general community need including those associated with arts, recreation and community facility provision in the Papakura Local Board area, as per the priority actions in the network plan.
29. The needs assessment will make recommendations to the local board on how they can respond to the findings. These recommendations will include options:
a. maximising the current network of facilities (such as optimisation, expansion, reclassification or governance)
b. servicing and programming across the local board area (including new opportunities for user groups, nature of services and timing of programming)
c. the development of a new library/community facility.
30. Site assessment criteria will be developed using the information from the needs assessment and will be used to identify potential optimal sites for a new library/community facility in Takanini.
Deliverables
31. The table below identifies key milestones and their delivery dates.
Deliverables |
Planned Delivery Date |
Desktop research undertaken to develop a community profile including: - Demographic and socio-economic analysis (current state) - Trends and projected changes to the community make-up (future state) - Review and analysis of current facilities including programming and services, users, physical state |
October 2015 |
Stakeholder and community research including: - Quantitative data collection and surveying of residents - Qualitative data collection through interviews, workshops and focus groups |
November 2015 – February 2016 |
Workshop needs assessment findings with local board |
April 2016 |
Report to the local board on needs assessment, including recommendations and options |
May/ June 2016 |
Apply criteria to potential sites, within agreed location with an aim to identify potential future sites for the development of a new community facility/ library in Takanini |
June/July 2016 |
Report to local board, recommending a short list of potential sites for the development of a new library/ community facility and next steps |
August 2016 |
32. This proposed timetable for delivery gives the Papakura Local Board certainty around timeframes which may also be helpful to provide feedback to interested developers.
Consideration
Local Board Views and Implications
33. The Papakura Local Board Plan 2014 identifies the following outcomes and achievements:
Strong, healthy and safe communities
“We have good places for communities to meet and great places to play in. Our young people get a great start in life and we value the wisdom and experience of our older people.”
1. Helping our young people to contribute to prosper and thrive
2. Provide multi-purpose community hubs
A sport and recreation hub
“We have excellent sports facilities that we all use and enjoy. We are proud that Papakura is the place of choice for high-class sporting events.”
3. Maintain and improve sports and recreation facilities
4. Provide adaptable facilities that encourage active lifestyles for all
34. The needs assessment will help the local board achieve these aspirations by assessing the strengths and weaknesses of current facilities and community programming and services, and new facility requirements to strengthen the overall network of community facilities and services.
Māori Impact Statement
35. The Maori Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau identifies arts and culture and health and wellness as areas for advancement. Illustrative indicators within the Maori Plan include:
· investment in Māori arts and culture
· active participation in sports and recreation
· percentage of Māori that attend a club or interest group at least once a month.
36. The 2013 census showed that 11,979 people (28.1% of the study area) are Māori. The potential responses identified in the needs assessment may have a positive impact on Māori, as part of the wider Papakura and Takanini community.
Implementation
37. There are no implementation issues associated with this recommended approach.
There are no attachments for this report.

Southern Corridor Improvements Project – Landowner Approval for Works Within Various Parks, Papakura
File No.: CP2015/23886
Purpose
1. To seek landowner approval for works in Fergusson Reserve, Conifer Grove Reserve, Conifer Grove Esplanade Reserve, Pahurehure Esplanade Reserve, Pescara Reserve and Hingaia Esplanade associated with the New Zealand Transport Authority Southern Corridor Improvements Project.
Executive Summary
2. The New Zealand Transport Authority (NZTA) has applied for landowner approval for access over and use of local parks in relation to the construction of the Southern Corridor Improvements (SCI) project.
3. The project affects a number of local reserves in Papakura - Fergusson Reserve, Conifer Grove Reserve, Conifer Grove Esplanade Reserve, Pahurehure Esplanade Reserve, Pescara Reserve and Hingaia Reserve. NZTA has applied for landowner approval for temporary access and occupation to enable works to be undertaken within the reserves which includes a 3.0 metre wide shared path with local linkages, and some vegetation removal (refer to Attachment A for plans).
4. The Notice of Requirement (NoR) application has been through the hearings process and it is anticipated that the issue of the consent is imminent.
5. Overall, it is considered that the proposed shared pathway along the motorway and linkages will benefit the community by encouraging physical activity and connecting neighbourhoods. It will also help to further activate the reserves and improve safety. It is recommended that the board grant landowner approval for the proposals. It is also recommended that the Manager of Local and Sports Parks – South have the ability to approve detailed landscaping plans and impose conditions around construction and temporary occupation, and reinstatement of the reserves.
That the Papakura Local Board: 6. Grant landowner approval to NZTA (and their contractors) for temporary occupation and construction works (which include a 3m wide shared path, widening of existing shared paths, vegetation removal and retaining walls) within Conifer Grove Reserve, Conifer Grove Esplanade Reserve, Pahurehure Esplanade Reserve and Hingaia Esplanade in relation to the Southern Corridor Improvement project, within the temporary designated areas as shown on the plans referenced as Asset Transfer and Maintenance Plans Sheet 10, 11 and 12 of 14, prepared by Aurecon, dated 26.06.15, subject to: i. detailed design of the shared paths and landscaping plans to be approved by the Manager Local and Sports Parks – South; and ii. landowner approval conditions to be provided by the Manager Local and Sports Parks – South to manage the construction effects and reinstatement of the reserves |
Comments
7. The New Zealand Transport Authority has applied via a NOR to increase their existing designation to accommodate the SCI. The project includes;
· the construction of additional vehicle lanes along State Highway 1 (mostly within their existing designation)
· a new shared 3,0 metre wide walk/cycle path along the length of the SCI upgrade from the Takanini Interchange to Pescara Point/Hingaia in Papakura, including interpretive/way-finding signage
· an extensive replanting programme (to be finalised)
· Maori motifs/public art.
8. The proposal affects various reserves including Fergusson Reserve, Conifer Grove Reserve, Conifer Grove Esplanade Reserve, Pahurehure Esplanade Reserve, Pescara Reserve and Hingaia Reserve within the Papakura Local Board area. Attachment A contains plans showing the proposed temporary designation changes over the local reserves and the new shared paths.
9. Detailed design plans for the motorway are currently being finalised by NZTA’s contractor. NZTA has provided an Urban Design and Landscaping Framework (UDLF) document with their NOR to inform the detailed design phase. This sets out the key principles, outcomes, objectives and proposed methodologies for detailed design.
10. The contractor will also provide a schedule of works detailing timeframes of local park closure, if required.
Description of proposed works:
The works proposed within the reserves are outlined below (refer to Attachment A).
Reserve |
Proposed works |
Proposed mitigation and reinstatement |
Conifer Grove Reserve (199R Walter Strevens Drive, Conifer Grove) (Lot 630 DP 98616) |
· Construction of a new 3m wide shared path through the reserve. · Temporary access to and use of 1544m2 of the reserve adjacent to the motorway to construct the shared path. The area will be required for approximately one month. · Removal of some trees/vegetation along the reserve/motorway boundary may be required, subject to finalising the alignment of the path in agreement with Parks staff. · Installation of bollards (or similar mechanisms) to prevent vehicles using the shared path. |
· Appropriate mitigation for any loss of vegetation will be provided should removal be required. · Reinstatement works including re-grassing. · Lighting of the new shared path.
|
Conifer Grove Esplanade Reserve (LOT 833 DP 98828 LOT 6 DP 111346 - REC & LOCAL PURPOSE ESPLANADE RES) |
· Construction of a new 3m wide shared path through the reserve. · Temporary access to and occupation of approximately 615m2 of the reserve adjacent to the motorway to construct the shared path. Construction will take approximately one month. · Removal of vegetation along the north-eastern boundary to accommodate the new shared path. · Installation of bollards (or similar mechanisms) to prevent vehicles using the shared path. |
· Reinstatement works including re-grassing. · Lighting of the new shared path.
|
· Hingaia /Pescara Point including: (1) Pahurehure Esplanade Reserve (Lot 9 DP 123959; Lot 413 DP 123959; Lot 414 DP 123959; Lot 415 DP 123959) (2) Pescara Reserve (Lot 700 DP 382903; Lot 704 DP 382903) (3) Hingaia Esplanade (Lot 800 DP 382903)
|
· Temporary access to and occupation of the land parcels listed for the construction of the pedestrian/cycle overbridge and 3m wide shared paths. · A portion will also be partly used as a construction yard for approximately six months (Lots 413 and 414 DP 123959). · The area will be temporarily closed and public access restricted for approximately a 6 month period. · Some vegetation removal may be required, dependent on the final alignment of the overbridge. · Temporary construction fencing will be placed around the works area. · Installation of bollards (or similar mechanisms) to prevent vehicles illegally using the shared paths. · Installation of public art pieces (details to be provided to the Papakura Local Board once finalised). |
· Reinstatement works consisting of re-grassing. · Temporary pedestrian diversion and information signage throughout the works period. · Lighting of shared pathways. · Widening of a number of existing paths through existing reserves. · Noise walls within the road corridor to mitigate acoustic impacts from the additional lanes · Removal of weed species/vegetation as identified by Parks staff. · Replanting programme along the coastline with appropriate species to be finalised with Parks. · Additional seating in recreation areas and improved landscaping.
|
11. Ample space is available to stage existing path closures and for the contractor to provide diversions through the area throughout the temporary works and occupation period. The applicant will work with the Parks staff at the detailed design stage to provide pedestrian diversions at various stages of the proposed works.
12. There will be a number of positive outcomes for the reserves impacted such as construction of new shared pathways through reserves, widening of a number of existing paths, the construction of noise walls to mitigate acoustic impacts from the additional lanes within some reserves, additional seating in recreation areas, improved landscaping and cross-neighbourhood connectivity.
13. All new shared paths (including those through reserves) will be reinforced and constructed to a standard to withstand the weight of maintenance vehicles. Different surface treatments (exposed aggregate) will be utilised to indicate a change of ‘setting’ when entering local parks/reserves.
14. The pedestrian bridge over the motorway (Hingaia/Pescara Point) will be an NZTA owned asset, with substructures maintained by NZTA. Surfacing, lighting and operational aspects will be managed and maintained by Auckland Transport.
15. As part of the works, public art is also being proposed towards the Pahurehure Inlet area (the Auckland Motorway Alliance yard and the Pescara Reserve area). The number of works, their exact locations and designs are being finalised with iwi. It is proposed that the public art proposal come back to the board separately once it is further developed for Local Board approval.
16. Overall, Parks staff consider that the temporary and permanent adverse impacts are manageable and is requesting delegated authority for detailed design plans and landowner approval conditions to be provided by the Manager Local and Sports Parks, South.
Consideration
Local Board Views and Implications
17. The Papakura Local Board have granted landowner approval for the works within Fergusson Reserve and also supported the divestment of a portion of Fergusson Reserve. This was presented was presented at the October 2015 Papakura Local Board business meeting in reference to resolution number PPK/2015/175.
18. The NZTA has had a number of project engagement sessions with both the Manurewa and Papakura Local Boards. On 11 February 2015, they presented on the Project’s interface with areas of parks and open space to the Papakura Local Board.
19. NZTA have advised that no particular issues were raised regarding the works proposed in Fergusson Reserve and that both local boards supported NZTA’s offer (as mitigation) to re-landscape and improve the walkway within Fergusson Reserve and recognised its improvement as a key benefit for the local community. NZTA have not advised of any particular comment around other reserve areas.
20. Additionally, the overall objective to create pedestrian and cycle connectivity is consistent with the principles of the Papakura Local Board Plan and the aspects captured within the State of Play for the area. This includes the creation of strong, safe and healthy communities. Such outcomes encourage communities to utilise an alternative mode of transport and results in activation of public spaces, which fosters healthy behaviours within Papakura and southern Auckland, as a whole.
Māori Impact Statement
21. On the advice of Council, the NZTA have contacted the following iwi groups:
· Ngati Tamaoho
· Ngai Tai Ki Tamaki
· Ngati Maru
· Te Kawerau a Maki
· Ngati Te Ata Waiohua
· Ngati Paoa
· Te Akitai Waiohua
· Ngati Tamatera
· Ngati Whanaunga
· Tainui-Waikato
22. Of those groups contacted, Ngati Tamatera, Tainui-Waikato, Te Kawerau a Maki and Ngati Maru subsequently advised NZTA that they did not have an interest in the project or deferred their interest.
23. Of the groups that engaged, Ngati Tamaoho, Ngai Tai Ki Tamaki, Te Akitai Waiohua, and Ngati Te Ata Waiohua, provided Cultural Impact Assessments (CIA).
24. An initial hui was held on 14 July 2014, and was attended by Ngati Tamaoho, Ngai Tai Ki Tamaki, Te Akitai Waiohua, & Ngati Te Ata Waiohua. A site visit was scheduled on 23 July 2014, which the above groups attended, excluding Ngati Te Ata Waiohua.
25. As Ngati Paoa were unable to attend this inception hui and site visit, they were met with initially on 16 July 2014
26. Subsequently hui were conducted on 22 August, 12 September, 3 October, and 17 October.
27. Post-lodgement engagement with iwi continued with a hui on 4th February 2015.
28. A number of matters were raised by Iwi at hui or through the provision of CIA, much of which will be addressed via conditions of consent.
29. The outcomes of consultation with Iwi has also led to the establishment of the Integrated Iwi Group hui (IIG) to cover wider issues on an ongoing basis and as a forum to address matters related to this project throughout the course of its development and delivery.
30. The project has been extensively discussed with mana whenua and iwi groups. In particular, iwi have input into stream protection methodologies, proposed planting, and the design of the Pescara Point pedestrian bridge. There are also Maori art pieces and motifs envisaged at various locations as part of the upgrade works.
31. The pedestrian bridge alignment has been determined in consultation with mana whenua to follow the coastal edge and provide views over the inlet, while connecting two segregated communities. Attachment A illustrates maintenance responsibilities of the overbridge and the path network within the connecting reserves.
Implementation
32. The NZTA have applied for a Notice of Requirement (NoR), which has been through the hearings process in late May 2015. At the conclusion of this hearing, the commissioner(s) provided a final recommendation for the requiring authority. This process protects the space subject to the designation alteration however, NZTA still require landowner approval where located within parks and reserves. It is recommended that approval be given subject to detailed design being provided and approved by the Manager of Local and Sports Parks South. Similarly construction and reinstatement be managed by conditions to be provided by the Manager of Local and Sports Parks South.
33. Works are expected to start in December 2015 on the first stage of the project (being the southbound upgrade from the Orams Road Bridge).
34. Parks are currently working with the applicant’s representatives to establish a license to occupy agreement to charge for the use of the parkland for those which are to be occupied for a considerable length of time. The terms of this license to occupy agreement are still being negotiated.

Comments
5. The implementation of the new Community Grants Policy commenced on 1 July 2015. The policy supports each local board to adopt a grants programme for 2015/2016 and the Papakura Local Board adopted its grants programme on 15 April 2015 (see Attachment A).
6. The local board grants programme sets out:
· local board priorities
· lower priorities for funding
· exclusions
· grant types, the number of grant rounds and when these will open and close
· any additional accountability requirements.
7. The Papakura Local Board will operate two local grant rounds and five quick response rounds for this financial year. The first local grant round closed on 11 September 2015. The second quick response round closed on 15 October 2015.
8. The new community grant programmes have been extensively advertised through the new council grant webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters and Facebook pages, council publications, radio, local newspapers and community networks. Staff have also conducted a series of public workshops in local board areas, which have been attended by approximately 1000 people across the Auckland region.
9. For the 2015/2016 financial year, the Papakura Local Board set a total local community budget of $123,000.00 as below:
2015/2016 Annual Budget |
Fund Type |
Grants paid |
Balance |
$123,000.00 |
Local Community Grants |
$7,385.00 |
$115,615.00 |
10. To date, $7,385.00, has been allocated from the local community grants budget, leaving a balance of $115,615.00, to be allocated for the local grant rounds and the four remaining quick response grant rounds.
11. Twenty one applications were received for local grants round one, requesting a total of $78,935.89. Five applications were received for quick response round two, requesting a total $9,003.00.
Consideration
Local Board Views and Implications
12. Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community grants. The Papakura Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or decline these grant applications against the local board priorities identified in the local board grant programme.
13. The board is requested to note that section 50 of the Community Grants Policy states “We will also provide feedback to unsuccessful grant applicants about why they have been declined, so they will know what they can do to increase their chances of success next time.”
14. A one-page summary of each application has been supplied to members under separate cover.
Māori Impact Statement
15. The provision of community grants provides opportunities for all Aucklanders to undertake projects, programmes, activities that benefit a wider range of individuals and groups, including Maori. As a guide for decision-making, in the allocation of community grants, the new community grants policy supports the principle of delivering positive outcomes for Maori. One Maori organisation has applied for a grant under the local grants round one.
Implementation
16. The allocation of grants to community groups is within the adopted Long Term Plan 2015-2025 and local board agreements.
17. Following the Papakura Local Board allocating funding for round one local grants and round two quick response, Commercial and Finance staff will notify the applicants of the local board’s decision.

MAORI OUTCOMES |
Yes - Communicare has a Maori Health Policy where Communicare aims to ensure that Maori feel fully welcome and have a sense of belonging while they are our guests, so our own services need to be responsive to the needs of Maori people. Our services need to be considerate of Maori custodianship regarding their rites/rights, needs and interests. Where ever possible we aim to create an environment which ensures the wairua (spiritual), hinengaro (psychological) and tiana (physical) wellbeing of the tangata mauiui and their Whanau. |
||||
ACCESSIBLE FOR DISABLED |
Yes - All of our venues cater for wheelchair and walker access- we are conscious of mobility, mental and emotional challengers for all members with disability. These can range from mental health through to physical disability, including early stages of dementia and those recovering from disease and illness such as stroke. We also have to be aware of diet requirements and do not cater to any extreme toileting or late stages of dementia due to health and safety. |
||||
PROJECT RATIONALE |
The daily attendance fee of $5 and yearly subscription fee of $15 does not cover the rent for the year as well as food and money required for crafts, games and activities. Without having a venue we would not be able to offer a sheltered and warm environment for our members. Without cooking facilities we would not be able to supply morning tea and lunches to our members. Having been established for over 55 years there is a definite need to provide these services to the Auckland Community. |
||||
EXPECTED OUTCOMES |
The community benefits are an involved and connected community, treasuring and enjoying the local environment- actively improving the quality of life for the elderly and disabled therefore our community is healthy and active. Having a shared sense of celebration through events at the centre. Valuing cultural diversity and celebrating this locally which is locally accessible to the local community. We always encourage feedback and will have bi annual evaluations. We also keep statistics on attendance and monitor success. |

PAPAKURA LOCAL BOARD PRIORITIES |
1. provide opportunities for growing and eating healthy food 2. contribute to the economic and cultural attractiveness of Papakura town centre 3. promote Papakura as a destination for sporting competitions and events Our Communicare Centre in Papakura keeps both the elderly and disabled members and volunteers involved and connected to their local community through crafts, games and activities and the occasional outings.

MINI BRIDGE (Build Respect Inspire Dreams Goals Expectations) Programmes |
|||||
PROJECT SUMMARY |
MINI BRIDGE (same format as BRIDGE programme) is individualized to meet the identified needs of the group; with the smaller numbers we can be more flexible with the teaching material to meet the specific needs of the group. They are at high risk of expulsion. (Maximum of 6 girls or boys per group). Purpose: The mentoring enable students to change inappropriate behaviour, become motivated towards and understanding the importance of education for their future, setting realistic goals to be achieved, by gaining a healthier view of themselves and developing positive social skills Format: 8 x 1hr group workshops at school followed by a day’s outing. We visit with family/whanau prior to course commencement to seek their signed permission and support. |
|||||
FUNDING FOR |
Mentor, resource and admin/report costs to run two Mini Bridge programmes for 6 at-risk young people in each programme. Our specialized support can reduce truancy, increase student respect and improve academic results. Our involvement brings at risk families closer to the community and helps them feel safer and more able to function well. The young person is referred to the programme by the school that has assessed that the young person has significant problems of engagement, attendance, and/or behaviour and they would benefit from participating in the programme. |

PROJECT RATIONALE |
Following the successful programme in Manurewa and the initial Mini BRIDGE in Papakura (still underway) NFT have been asked to continue the programme in 2016 to address the needs of other young people that are viewed as “at risk.” They are vulnerable to truancy, suspensions or exclusions, gang connections, substance abuse, and usually come from high-needs families. NFT has an excellent record of turning lives around however our response is dependent on receiving the funding received. Our work helps create stronger connections between schools, families and support groups and sense of unity that encourages struggling young people and their families. |
|||||
EXPECTED OUTCOMES |
We turn a high risk time into an opportunity for the young person to effect positive change in their lives. Our specialised support reduces truancy, suspensions and exclusions and is proven as students remain in school longer. Family/whanau are included, supported and involved resulting in home becoming safer. Community is improved as youth crime and destructive behaviour is reduced, enhancing community safety and wellbeing. NFT monitors school attendance. Improvements in self-esteem and respect are evaluated through assessments at the beginning and end of the programme with a written outcome report for the Principal and Board of Trustees. |

PROJECT SUMMARY |
To provide one-on-one mentoring to five individuals, viewed as high risk, dis-engaged from education intermediate/secondary students in the Papakura area, help them willingly re-engage with their education and discover their potential. NFT Mentor works one-on-one with them for one hour a week for 10 weeks to help them meet and set goals, creating a pathway back into education. Sessions are held privately at school/home and we individualize the programme to help the young person building their self-esteem and confidence by identifying their strengths, abilities and interests, and potential career paths. We also challenge them to address underlying attitudes and behaviours, to set goals and pursue them. Referral comes from schools, CYFS, MOE, Strengthening Families, or community agencies |

FUNDING FOR |
The mentoring cost to undertake the STEPS programme with 5 young people in Papakura. The Mentor visits the family/whanau to build trust and a shared commitment to the programme including exploring the education/training options for the young person. An individual plan is developed with the young person. We continue to provide mentoring support until the young person is settled back into school and demonstrating a commitment to both their education and healthy life choices. The programme targets Individual excluded students and long-term truants with the objective of helping them willingly re-engage with their education and discover their potential. |

PROJECT RATIONALE |
In New Zealand young people and Maori and Pacific peoples experience the highest levels of alcohol-related harm. Before launching the pilot programme, we interviewed over 100 women and agencies in Auckland, and alcohol issues were commonly raised as an area of growing concern. We responded by incorporating safe alcohol messaging into the Safe for Life workshops to raise awareness around alcohol consumption, particularly around high risk drinking behaviours, and to improve alcohol-related health literacy, for example, how to avoid acute alcohol-related harm. |
|||||
EXPECTED OUTCOMES |
Safe for Life is taught in a fun and enjoyable manner, with alcohol messaging embedded so participants get multiple benefits. More young people will be more aware of the potential dangers of excessive alcohol consumption. They will be armed with strategies to deploy if they find themselves in a compromised situation, and some skills around how to de-escalate potentially harmful situations. Friends, family and wider communities will benefit as workshop participants take their learnings home with them. We are confident that the messaging around staying safe with alcohol will make a tangible difference in the lives of many people. |

2. help our young people to contribute prosper and thrive 3. provide opportunities for growing and eating healthy food Community well-being and in particular the well-being of children is extremely important to KidsCan. By running our programmes through schools we are encouraging disadvantaged children to attend school, improving their educational outcomes and allowing them the greatest opportunity to reach their full potential in life. This leads to a happier community with more educated young people. Our programmes are proven to reduce anger, theft and violence - supporting youth who may be at risk can change lives and help break the poverty cycle! |

PROJECT SUMMARY |
Promoting our specialist gender identity/sexual orientation service to the people of Franklin and making our 0800 service available, weekdays 9am - 9pm and weekends 6pm - 9pm. Self harm / suicide rates are highest amongst LGBTI-identifying groups and low self-esteem is crippling both to the person and their family/community.

PROJECT RATIONALE |
Many families have been approaching us for the last 20 years for help to deal with the problems of Family violence & it is evident that there is a greater need to educate and create awareness amongst our people to deal with the problems. In South Asian cultures, family issues are rarely discussed outside, psychologists and psychiatrists are almost never consulted except in extreme crises, many suffer in silence due to fear of loss of privacy, doubt they can be helped. The ones who are unable to use community resources for support often become locked into domestic abuse,violence,abandonment,denial of family privileges and sometimes, homelessness. |
|||||
EXPECTED OUTCOMES |
Jaagriti, (Awakening) Project aims to create community awareness about the needs of South Asian Families subjected to violence and oppression through its programs and community outreach. Our purpose is to encourage South Asian Families to raise their voice against their oppression, physical, mental and sexual abuse, family violence and to have a better living in the society. We have handled many cases for the past 20 years and we invite feedback and ask personal changes experienced by the participants. |

Priorities and outcomes |
· help our young people to contribute prosper and thrive
Children with Autism can be low or high functioning i.e. one child may scream at unfamiliar stimulation, another might immerse them self in it. This can lead to social, friendship and family challenges. CAF offers services that equip families with the knowledge, skills and confidence to involve their children with autism in the community. CAF goes directly to families, who are often isolated and experiencing financial and emotional distress. We offer Howick families support services to enable full participation in community life, including: • Social Skills Programmes • Outreach (one-on-one family support) • Community workshops about understanding autism and strategies for behaviour |

Project summary |
||||||||
Project title |
Establish Papakura-based Support group |
|||||||
Project summary |
Establish a fortnightly RainbowYOUTH peer support group in Papakura for queer and trans young people. This group would be accessible for those who are too far south to make it to Out & About, our peer support group running out of Manukau. |
|||||||
Project location |
Papakura |
|||||||
Reason for project |
Youth from the district have come forth to request such a peer support group. This is backed up by studies such as the Youth12 findings, indicating that a sense of isolation and lack of access to support significantly increases representation in negative statistics such as suicidality and mental illness. |
|||||||
Expected outcomes |
Having a peer support group within your community creates a safe space for young people to be themselves, allowing them to more fully participate in the community, as well as indicating that the community is safe and supportive. |
