Agenda of Papakura Local Board

Papakura Local Board

17 February 2016

Consideration of New Community Leases – Council Owned Buildings - 294 Great South Road and 59R Wood Street, Papakura

File No.: CP2015/26889

Purpose

1. To seek Papakura Local Board direction regarding the establishment of new community leases at Elizabeth Campbell Centre, 294 Great South Road and the Old Courthouse, 59R Wood Street, Papakura.

Executive Summary

2. This report and attachments includes details of groups within the Papakura area with expired leases where the group owns the building. Staff recommend that new leases be approved for these groups under the terms and conditions specified in the recommendations.

3. Papakura Toy Library Incorporated (the Library) has held a lease for the Elizabeth Campbell Hall since January 2006 (site plan Attachment A). The Library is affiliated to the Toy Library Federation of New Zealand.

4. The Library’s lease for the building expires on 31 December 2015 and it has applied for a new lease. Should a new community lease be granted to Papakura Toy Library Incorporated the recommended term is for five years with one five year right of renewal. A Community Outcomes Plan would be an attachment to the lease subject to Local Board approval (Attachment B).

5. SeniorNet Papakura Incorporated (the Group) has held a lease for the premises at 59R Wood Street, Papakura since 1 October 2010 (site plan Attachment C). The Group teaches older people technology and computer skills.

6. The Group’s lease for the property at 59R Wood Street expired on 30 September 2015 and they have applied for a new lease. Should a new community lease be granted to SeniorNet Papakura Incorporated the recommended term is for five years with one five year right of renewal. A Community Outcomes Plan would be an attachment to the lease subject to Local Board approval (Attachment D).

7. As with any investment of public resources, on the expiry of a lease it is good practice to review the alternatives for achieving desired outcomes. In leasing practice, one of the ways this can be achieved is an expression of interest (EoI) process requesting applications from interested groups. This allows for a publicly contestable process and the opportunity to gauge interest and assess best use.

8. The Papakura Local Board may choose to grant new community leases to Papakura Toy Library Incorporated and SeniorNet Papakura Incorporated or may choose to call for expressions of interest for the lease of these Council owned buildings. The benefits and challenges of each approach are set out in Attachment E.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) Approves a new community lease to Papakura Toy Library Incorporated for the Elizabeth Campbell Centre, 294 Great South Road, Papakura subject to the following conditions:

i) Term – 5 years commencing 1 December 2015 with one 5-year right of renewal;

ii) Rent - $1.00 (+GST) per annum, if requested;

iii) An annual subsidised maintenance fee of $25.00 per square metre, per annum;

iv) A Community Outcomes Plan, as approved, attached to the lease document;

v) All other terms and conditions in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977 and the Auckland Council Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012.

vi) Advertising will be required in terms of Section 73 (4) of the Reserves Act 1977 and local iwi consultation will be required in terms of Section 4 of the Conservation Act 1987.

b) Approves a new community lease to SeniorNet Papakura Incorporated for the 59R Wood Street, Papakura, subject to the following conditions:

i) Term – 5 years commencing 1 December 2015 with one 5-year right of renewal;

ii) Rent - $1.00 (+GST) per annum, if requested;

iii) An annual subsidised maintenance fee of $500.00 per annum;

iv) A Community Outcomes Plan, as approved, attached to the lease document;

v) All other terms and conditions in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002 and the Auckland Council Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012.

Comments

9. Papakura Toy Library has been incorporated since 7 October 1996 and has held a lease for the Council owned Elizabeth Campbell Centre since 1 January 2006. The group shares part of the property at 294 Great South Road, Papakura which Allotment 49 is currently held by the Crown through DoC as an unclassified recreation reserve subject to the Reserves Act 1977 and vested in the Auckland Council, in trust, for recreation purposes.

10. Any lease to be issued by the council to the Papakura Toy Library will need to be granted pursuant to Section 73 (3) of the Reserves Act because the toy library is a local purpose activity and Allotment 49 is currently held as an unclassified recreation reserve. Advertising will be required in terms of Section 73 (4) of the Reserves Act and local iwi consultation will be required in terms of Section 4 of the Conservation Act 1987.

11. A total of 110 families pay an annual subscription to use the library, which is staffed by volunteers three mornings per week (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday). Grandparents who look after children during school holidays can pay a $20 fee to access the library’s toys and parents of children with special needs pay only half of the usual membership fee. Papakura Parents Centre also uses part of the space for antenatal and other parenting classes.

12. The current lease for the premises expires on 31 December 2015. Should a new community lease be granted to Papakura Toy Library for part of the Elizabeth Campbell Centre at 2 Chapel Street, Papakura it is recommended this be for five years commencing 1 December 2015 with one five year right of renewal.

13. The rent recommended would be $1.00 (+ GST) per annum, if requested, with an annual subsidised maintenance fee of $25.00 per square metre, per annum for shared occupation of a Council owned building. The tenant would be responsible for some maintenance that would be set out in a schedule attached to the lease and for utilities. A Community Outcomes Plan is attached to the lease, subject to Local Board approval.

14. SeniorNet Papakura has been incorporated since 17 March 1999 and has been based at the property (aka the Old Courthouse) since 2001. The group leases part of the Council owned property at 59R Wood Street, Papakura which is held in fee simple by Auckland Council as a classified recreation reserve and subject to the Reserves Act 1977.

15. The Group teaches computer skills to older adults in an enjoyable and friendly way, giving members the opportunity to learn skills that will enable them to contribute their knowledge and wisdom to society, to communicate and make new friends through online communication. All new technology is taught – smart-phones, iPads, digital photography, photo restoration, use of Apple Macs, MS Office suite, social networking, computers and genealogy, internet banking, use of the internet, email, etc. They also conduct research on the use of technology by older adults. They currently have just over 300 members. Classes operate daily Monday to Friday, mornings and afternoons, with 19 computers and four printers available for use.

16. The Group is currently in discussion with Papakura High School over a proposal to form a partnership whereby some students pass their knowledge of smartphones, social networking and other technology onto SeniorNet members.

17. The Foundation’s lease for the building expired on 30 September 2015. Should a new community lease be granted to SeniorNet Papakura Incorporated for the Council owned Old Courthouse at 59R Wood Street, Papakura it is recommended this be for five years commencing 1 October 2015 with one five year right of renewal. The group has been holding over on the terms and conditions of their old lease until a new lease can take effect.

18. The rent recommended would be 1.00 (+ GST) per annum, if requested, with an annual subsidised maintenance fee of $500.00 per annum. This is the standard fee recommended for groups with sole use of a Council owned building. The foundation would be responsible for some maintenance that would be set out in a schedule attached to the lease and for the payment of utilities. A Community Outcomes Plan will be attached to the lease, subject to Local Board approval, and reported upon annually.

19. As with any investment of public resources, on the expiry of a lease it is good practice to review the alternatives for achieving desired outcomes. In leasing practice, an expression of interest process, requesting applications from interested groups, allows for a publicly contestable process and the opportunity for achieving delivery of outcomes.

20. The Papakura Local Board may choose to grant new community leases to Papakura Toy Library and SeniorNet Papakura Incorporated; or may choose to call for expressions of interest for the lease of these Council owned buildings. The benefits and challenges of each approach are set out in Attachment E.

21. Should an expression of interest process be desired an advertisement would be run calling for applications from groups with an active recreation focus to suit the classification and zoning of the land. Applications would be assessed and reported to the board for a decision to be made as to the successful applicant. Applications by Papakura Toy Library Incorporated and SeniorNet Papakura Incorporated for the respective buildings would be reviewed in this process alongside other applicants.

17 February 2016

Drury Sports Complex and Karaka Reserve, Drury – Proposed Potable Water Supply Pipeline Construction.

File No.: CP2015/26968

Purpose

1. To seek landowner approval to construct a new water supply pipeline through Drury Sports Complex (20R Victoria Street) and Karaka Reserve (10R Karaka Road) in Drury.

Executive Summary

2. An application has been received to construct a potable water pipeline from the main Watercare Services pump station located at 103 Flanagan Road, Drury. The line will service the Bremner Road and Hingaia Special Housing Areas. Attachment A shows the proposed route of the pipeline through the Drury Sports Complex and Karaka Reserves.

3. The pipe is proposed to be trenched through both reserves. The works through Drury Sports Complex will be undertaken along the southern boundary and will not affect the number one playing field and associated irrigation and lighting infrastructure. Attachment B includes photos of the proposed route through Drury Sports Complex.

4. Only temporary effects to Karaka Reserve and Drury Sports Complex are anticipated from the construction works, and the pipeline will not impact future use of either reserve. It is recommended that detailed design of the exact route and manhole locations, and conditions to control construction effects and reinstatement, be delegated to the Manager of Parks (South).

5. The pipeline would be constructed by the developers of the BRSHA and vest in Watercare on completion. It would be protected by registered easements over park land in line with council’s standard operating procedure with Watercare.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) Endorse the granting of an easement over part of Drury Sports Complex (Allot 390 PSH OF Opaheke) and Karaka Reserve (Part Allot 34 Sec VI DP 35 Section 1 & Areas A & B shown on SO 65144 Blk VIII Drury SD), for a water supply pipeline as shown on the plan titled Bremner Road Development Proposed Watermain Route, reference P1 Issue:1, prepared by Mott MacDonald and dated 23 November 2015.

b) Endorse the granting of the easement subject to:

(i) Detailed design (including plans for the exact location of the line and manholes) to be approved by the Manager of Parks (South) prior to the pipe installation works.

(ii) Conditions to control the construction effects and provide for reinstatement of the reserve lands to be specified by the Manager of Parks South.

Proposal

6. The consultant for the first developer of the BRSHA has applied for landowner approval to construct a pipeline to convey water to the Watercare Services pump station located at 103 Flanagan Road, Drury. The pipeline will service the Bremner Road and Hingaia Special Housing areas. The proposed route crosses Drury Sports Complex and Karaka Reserves and so requires approval from the local board as landowner. Attachment A shows the proposed route of the pipeline through these reserves.

7. The pipeline will enable residential and commercial developments to proceed south of Bremner Road which are currently restricted by infrastructural limitations.

Potential Effects and Mitigation

8. On completion of the pipeline construction there will be no visible above-ground infrastructure remaining on Drury Sports Complex or Karaka Reserve with the exception of manhole lids at key locations. The main potential effects during construction are as follows:

· Temporary effects on the sports fields users

· Effects on trees

Drury Sports Complex

9. A total length of 150m is proposed to be constructed through the southern part of Drury Sports Complex. This park contains several sports fields including a premier playing field located immediately adjacent to the proposed pipe works.

10. The construction works are constrained by the oak trees along the southern boundary, the irrigation system and the lighting infrastructure associated with this field. Attachment B shows photos of the proposed route of the line within this reserve. The final pipe design will be undertaken to ensure the proposed trenching operation does not conflict with these constraints. A condition of landowner approval would require that the extent of works and access be agreed with Parks staff and barriers put in place to ensure compliance with this requirement. This will also prevent park users from accessing the construction site.

11. The applicant is currently obtaining several specialist reports including geotechnical, ecological and arboricultural assessments to determine the optimal location for the pipeline.

Karaka Reserve

12. A length of approximately 100m is proposed to be constructed through the south-western corner of Karaka Reserve using open trenching methodology. This reserve is subject to a grazing license, and the licensee will need to be consulted and measures implemented to ensure the safety of stock prior to the construction works commencing. This could be managed with conditions of landowner approval.

Alternative Options

13. Alternative routes for the pipeline have been investigated. These options included significant distances of additional piping, the attachment of the pipe to motorway over bridges already in need of structural work, and/or thrusting under the motorway and rail corridors at an angle other than 90° (which the NZTA and Kiwirail don’t condone). These constraints have resulted in the current route being deemed the best option.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

14. The Papakura park portfolio holders were advised of the proposal in November. They were generally supportive of the proposal.

Māori impact statement

15. There are no known sites of interest or significance to mana whenua within the vicinity of the proposed pipe construction works.

16. Through preliminary discussion with local iwi regarding the BRSHA development, the need for water supply to the area was discussed along with the general infrastructural servicing requirements. The specific location of the water supply pipe was not specifically discussed. Three cultural impact assessments have been commissioned from the relevant iwi who have indicated mana whenua over the subject area. These assessments will be submitted to council shortly with the application for plan variation.

Implementation

17. The applicant is currently meeting with Kiwirail and Transit New Zealand to ensure appropriate permissions through the rail and motorway corridors can be undertaken. It is not anticipated that this will impact on the location of the pipeline through Drury Sports Complex, although it may reduce the length of pipeline on Karaka Reserve.

18. Council’s standard operating procedure with Watercare states that all Watercare infrastructure in council parks shall be protected through easement agreements. This allows compliance with the Reserves Act procedures under which most parks are held. Easements are considered a disposal of property rights requiring governing body approval. If the local board supports the proposal, then approval will be sought from the General Manager, Parks Sport and Recreation on behalf of the governing body as a minor divestment of park land and to meet Reserve Act requirements for an easement. This would allow an agreement to grant an easement to be made between the developer, the council and Watercare.

Comments

6. 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).

7. 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.

8. 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. Quick Response, Round Three, 2015/2016 is currently open and due to close on 12 February 2016.

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	$27,978.50	$95,021.50

10. To date, $27,978.50 has been allocated from the local community grants budget, leaving a balance of $95,021.50 to be allocated for local grant round two and the three remaining quick response grant rounds.

11. Five applications were received for quick response round two with a total requested of $9,003.00. Two applications were declined, one application was approved for $435.00 and two applications were deferred applications, requesting a total of $2,933.00.

12. At the 18 November 2015 Papakura Local Board resolved:

Table Two Papakura Local Board Round Two Quick response Applications

Organisation	Focus	Project	Total requested	Total granted
Papakura Business Association	Community	Towards costs for a feasibility study	$1,000	Deferred awaiting further information from Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development
Papakura Pony Club	Sport and Recreation	To maintain the Opaheke Reserve Pony Club grounds	$1,933.00	Deferred awaiting information from parks.

PPK/2015/202-b

13. Staff have confirmed the majority of Business Improvement District (BID) related grants which have been approved through the contestable grants process are from established BID’s seeking grants for projects such as events and waste minimisation in their area. A feasibility study is also considered a reasonable request.

14. Auckland Council Parks Unit have confirmed that council staff will be able to mow and weed spray the park. However, as the pony club will likely require a higher level of service for their cross-country tracks, they will need to cover the cost for the mowing and treating of the tracks to meet their requirements. Council parks staff will also continue to work with the club to understand which areas of the park need to be mowed and whether any areas can be left as ‘flower meadows’ to reduce operational costs.

15. Staff are also proposing changes to Papakura local grants round two and quick response round five 2015/2016 opening and closing dates. This is to enable the local board to make decisions at the 15 June 2016 business meeting. The following changes are proposed to achieve this deadline:

Grant round	Current dates		Proposed dates
Grant round	Round opens	Round closes	Round opens	Round closes
Local grants round two	15 April	15 May	1 April	1 May
Quick response round five	1 May	1 June	18 April	15 May

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

16. 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.

17. 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.”

18. A one-page summary of each application has been supplied to members under separate cover.

Māori impact statement

19. 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.

Implementation

20. The allocation of grants to community groups is within the adopted Long Term Plan 2015-2025 and local board agreements.

21. Following the Papakura Local Board allocating funding for deferred round two quick response applications, Commercial and Finance staff will notify the applicants of the local board’s decision.

Consultation documents for the following proposals have been provided to the Papakura Local Board for its feedback. As the Board’s transport portfolio holders provide feedback on the Board’s behalf, the material below is included for general information purposes only.

Addison Stage 7B resolution

The Addison subdivision is on either side of Porchester Road between Walters Road and Airfield Road in Takanini. Stage 7B of the subdivision results in the formation of several new roads and lots for residential dwellings, this road layout follows the Addison masterplan that has been agreed with Auckland Council and Auckland Transport.

The subdivision consent requires the consent-holder (Addison Developments) to undertake the resolutions process for the installation of new traffic and parking controls within the subdivision. The proposed new traffic and parking controls were forwarded to the Local Board for comment and the Board raised no objections to the proposal.

55 Takanini School Road

This section of road is situated between Sparton Road and Manuroa Road. As part of a proposed development no stopping at any time (NSAAT) markings were proposed in the following locations:

1. Intersection of Takanini School Road

2. Intersection of Road 1 and Road 2

3. Road 1 near and at intersection of Road 3

4. Road 4 at intersection with Road 2 and at 90deg corners

5. Road 5 at intersection with Road 3 and at 90deg corners

The Local Board raised no objections to the proposal.

General Information Items

Red lights target red light runners

In December 2015, Auckland Transport started a trial of a new red light warning system at two intersections in Remuera to try to stop motorists running the lights. The trial is to determine whether red light running can be prevented at two closely spaced intersections by putting in red illuminated markers on the road. Lights in the traffic lanes are linked to the traffic signals and warn drivers by showing that the signals have turned red and they must stop.

Both Remuera Road/Clonbern Road and Remuera Road/Victoria Avenue intersections have traffic signals and are located quite close to each other. The two intersections are within the Remuera Town Centre and are busy with both traffic and pedestrians. Over the five years from 2010 to 2014, a total of 12 crashes were reported in this area: three involved failing to give way and two were rear end crashes which may have been caused by red light running. There were also a number of near misses between pedestrians and vehicles.

The trial is scheduled to last until the end of September 2016. Auckland Transport will conduct traffic analysis during the trial, together with input from the public, to determine whether the lights in the road have improved the safety of the intersections. The evaluation of the trial will be reported to the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA).

For more information on the trial, see: https://at.govt.nz/projects-roadworks/remuera-red-light-warning-marker-trial/

SuperGold services to Waiheke

As a result of a competitive tender process, government funding for the SuperGold card off-peak transport scheme was made available to two service providers providing free off-peak subsidised travel (from 9am-3pm and after 6:30pm on weekdays, all day weekends and public holidays) to SuperGold card holders on ferry services from downtown Auckland to Matiatia wharf, Waiheke, from 1 January this year.

Prior to the tender process, Explore Auckland Harbour Limited and Fullers Group Limited provided free travel to SuperGold cardholders from downtown Auckland to Waiheke; however only one service provider was eligible to claim government funding to carry SuperGold cardholders.

A change to the national SuperGold card transport scheme made it possible for both service providers to be eligible to participate in the Scheme. Auckland Transport developed and managed a competitive tender process for SuperGold cardholders on the ferry route from downtown Auckland to Waiheke to ensure more than one service provider could provide services and receive SuperGold card funding on the route.

Auckland Bike Challenge

More than 137 workplaces and 1600 individuals will be competing against each other in the inaugural Auckland Bike Challenge. Organised by Auckland Transport and supported by Healthy Auckland Together and Auckland Regional Public Health, the Auckland Bike Challenge encourages employers to promote cycling to staff during February (Bikewise month). Entrants record every bike journey they make during the month (whether work-related or recreational), add their distance covered with other participants at their workplace and then compare it with organisations of a similar size. Teams then compete for a number of prizes.

Registrations have been double what was expected. Workplaces are embracing the challenge, and an increasing number of commuting cyclists are realising the personal fitness, health and wealth benefits of biking to work or study. The Auckland Bike Challenge goes from 1 February to 29 February and employers can enter any time throughout the month. To enter go to www.lovetoride.net/auckland

Strategy and Planning

2. Transport for Future Urban Growth (TFUG)

Under the new business case approach AT has got approved funding to develop growth-related Programme Business Cases (PBCs) to identify the transport infrastructure needed within the next 30 years for the growth areas identified in Auckland Council's Future Urban Land Supply Strategy. The areas to be assessed are the Northwest, Southern, Northern and Warkworth areas. A multi-disciplinary and cross organisational team has been developed and is currently working from a co-located space on the four areas. Procurement is well advanced and consultant teams are on board with a number of workshops planned in January and February.

3. Central Access Strategy

A Strategic Case was jointly developed by the investment partners, and approved by the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) in November 2015, agreeing the problems faced for access to the city centre. A PBC is underway to identify and agree a programme of options to address the problems, with a high level costs and benefits analysis.

PT Development

4. Double Decker Network Mitigation works

Each route is in a different project phase. By Jun-2018, the following routes are planned to be completed:

· Mt Eden (31 March 2016)

· Northern Express 2 (30 Jun 2016)

· Great North (31 March 2017)

· Manukau (30 June 2017

· Remuera

· New North

· Onewa

Botany bus route 500 (from Botany Town Centre to Britomart) has been cleared.

5. Public Transport (PT) Safety, Security and Amenity

Involves enhancing station safety, security and amenity. Current projects include completion of Ellerslie Station canopies, upgrade to Morningside Level Crossing and electronic gating at Manurewa Station. Programmed activities in various phases on these projects are:

· Ellerslie canopies will be completed January 2016

· Morningside Level Crossing Improvement construction work planned for April/May 2016 and interim improvements were completed in November 2015

· Manurewa gates in early design stage.

6. City Rail Link (CRL)

Enabling Works contract 2, construction of pipe jack (services relocation) commenced (Albert Street) on 21 December 2015. Enabling Works Contract 1, Britomart to Lower Albert Street and Contract 2, Lower Albert Street to Wyndham Street, is to commence in May 2016. Main Works: Construction to start in 2018/19 FY subject to funding agreement with Government.

PT Operations

7. Highlights for the quarter

· SuperGold Travel – a competitive tender process for SuperGold funding exempt ferry services from downtown Auckland to Matiatia Wharf, Waiheke – as per Ministry of Transport (MoT) directive. The tender process resulted in two operators being eligible for SuperGold reimbursements from 1 January 2016. Super Gold card holders conversion onto HOP cards has commenced, for delivery by 1 July 2016. This will mean seniors will be required to use HOP cards to access free PT SuperGold travel.

· Integrated Fares – just prior to Christmas Thales delivered the first release of version 7.0 (customer facing enhancements) for Integrated Fares, ready for AT to commence testing. Some minor changes to zone boundaries were also approved to mitigate some passengers who would have had fare increases under integrated fares. Initial testing of version 7.0 has commenced. Integrated fares implementation is targeted for mid-2016. A late February 2016 annual PT Fares review will be implemented as a stepping stone to integrated fares.

· Ferry Improvements – Waiheke Ferry Services: strong growth has been experienced on the route during the year, reaffirming the route as being the most popular on the Auckland Ferry network. A local initiative to display interpretative signage at Matiatia was delivered with the Waiheke Local Board in the last quarter, and way-finding signage was updated and replaced at Matiatia as well. Next quarter will see the installation of a purpose-built customer information/ticket office by Explore. Overall patronage to Waiheke has grown over 10% in the last 12 months with the combination of Fullers and Explore services.

Road Design and Development

8. SMART (Southwest Multi-modal Airport Rapid Transit)

Future proofing of the SMART route on the Kirkbride (trench) intersection is progressing together with the infrastructure works by Highway Network Operations of NZTA. This element of the project is expected to be complete in 2022. AT is working with the East West team to ensure the projects are well aligned at the critical points. The indicative business case is being updated for LRT and heavy rail. The cycle strategy for the wider Mangere area is also underway.

9. AMETI (Auckland, Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative) – Pakuranga Road Busway

Involves provision of a signalised Panmure roundabout, two-lane busway, Walking and Cycling facilities, Panmure bridge upgrade and upgrades to existing bridge and local roads towards Pakuranga Town Centre. A completion date is subject to the outcome/approval of a revised delivery strategy by the AT Board by February 2016. The Notice of Requirement lodgement is ready to proceed, with lodgement pending the outcomes of cultural mitigation discussion. The expected lodgement date is mid-February 2016.

10. Tamaki Ngapipi Intersection Safety Improvements

Involves installation of traffic lights at the Tamaki Drive/Ngapipi Road intersection to address safety issues. The design aims to encourage shared use by reducing conflict points and maintaining efficient movement through the intersection. The AT Board has approved the preferred option, that allows five Pohutukawa trees to be retained, and this option will be taken forward to consenting and construction. Detailed design is underway to finalise the proposal for consenting.

Promoted travel choice and encouraged Public Transport, Walking, Cycling, Carpooling and Flexi-working. Over 625,000 views of the videos are recorded – which is a high rate and demonstrates increased awareness.

Road Corridor Delivery

14. The Assets and Maintenance Group is tasked with the responsibility for a wide range of activities within the Road Corridor. These include but are not limited to:

· the delivery of roading and streetlight maintenance and renewal programmes

· managing the access, co-ordination and traffic management impacts of activities taking place within the road corridor

· promoting design innovation and efficiency around how work is carried out on the network

· the development of long term asset management plans and modelling which support the decision making process around the management of Auckland’s roading assets.

15. Road Corridor Delivery

· In the 2015/2016 financial year AT is planning to deliver 37.7km of pavement rehabilitation, 480.1 km of resurfacing (comprising 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.

Table 1: Progress against Asset Renewal Targets

· Pavement rehabilitation projects have been completed on Kohimarama Road, Ranui Station Road, Edmonton Road, Robertson Road, Te Irirangi Drive, Ormiston Road, Whitford Road, Glenbrook Road, Linwood Road, Clyde Road, Lakeside Drive, Maygrove Drive, Brigham Creek Road, Mokoia Road, Kahika Road, Diana Drive, Glenmore Road, South Head Road, Waitoki Road, Mahurangi East Road, Hector Sanderson Road and Blind Bay Road. Further projects are underway on College Road, Hunua Road, Roscommon Road, St George Street, Bairds Road and Cavendish Drive.

· Contracts have been awarded to two suppliers for the provision of Light Emitting Diode (LED) luminaires for the 2015/16 year. In the 2015/16 year approximately 11,000 of the existing 70W High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps on the network will be replaced with LED luminaires and connected to the new central management system. Initially most will be in the central and north contract areas. The LED retrofit programme is being accelerated with the aim of completing the replacement of all the existing 70W HPS lamps by 1 July 2018 so as to maximise the available subsidy from the NZTA.

16. Road Corridor Access

· 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 2 is 94% (against the target of 90%)

· With an anticipated dip in numbers for December, the Corridor Access Request (CAR) team continues to process around 1,300 applications per month. These requests are for AT operations (inclusive of CRL) and various utility operators to access and maintain the 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.

17. Strategic Asset Management and Systems

· AT inherited an inventory of 117 permanent traffic counting sites across the Auckland region. These comprise inductive loops installed in the road pavement which detect passing vehicles through electro-magnetic induction. The loops provide details of traffic flows by vehicle category. In addition, AT can deploy pneumatic tubes installed across traffic lanes to undertake ad-hoc traffic counts. These are used where there are no permanent loops installed.

· The information generated by the loops provides an ongoing record of traffic growth across Auckland, which is used to inform infrastructure design as well as providing current and trend information for the Auckland traffic and growth models managed by the Auckland Joint Modelling Applications Centre (JMAC). The output from these models has been used in the development of the Integrated Transport Programme (ITP), defining AT’s road hierarchy for ONRC, and will be used for the Auckland Transport Alignment Project (ATAP).

· During the period October to December inclusive, a total of 493 traffic counts were undertaken using a mixture or permanent sites and pneumatic tubes. Additionally, 57 additional counts were undertaken over the Christmas holiday period to identify recreational traffic flows which may be significant at certain locations. Sixteen of these were on Waiheke and four on Great Barrier Island.

Papakura Local Board

17 February 2016

Divestment Recommendation Report

File No.: CP2015/27300

Purpose

1. This report seeks the Papakura Local Board’s endorsement for Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) to recommend the divestment of council owned properties 78A Great South Road, Papakura and part of 146-152 Great South Road, Papakura.

Executive Summary

2. The council-owned properties at 78A Great South Road, Papakura and part of 146-152 Great South Road, Papakura have been identified as potentially surplus to council requirements through a review process.

3. 78A Great South Road, Papakura is a vacant commercial property that was acquired for stormwater works which are currently been undertaken. The rationalisation process was undertaken while these works are underway to establish the future of this site following the completion of these works. Consultation with council and its CCOs, iwi authorities and the Papakura Local Board about this site has now taken place. The results of the rationalisation process indicate that this site is not required for an alternative service use. The Papakura Local Board has provided informal feedback that it does not oppose the proposed disposal of this site. As this property is not required for current or future service requirements, Panuku intend to recommend to the governing body that it be disposed of following the completion of the stormwater works.

4. 146-152 Great South Road, Papakura is a rooftop car park and a share in a ground floor car park and lift which was acquired by the Papakura District Council (PDC) for public car parking purposes. The owner of the balance of the property, who the car park was acquired from, has approached Auckland Council about reacquiring the parts of the property that are in council ownership. Consultation with council and its CCOs, iwi authorities and the Papakura Local Board about this property has now taken place. The results of the rationalisation process indicate that the parts of this property currently in council ownership are not required for an alternative service use. The Papakura Local Board has provided informal feedback that it does not oppose the proposed disposal of the subject areas of 146-152 Great South Road, Papakura. As this property is not required for current or future service requirements, Panuku intend to recommend to the governing body that it be disposed of to the owner of the balance of 146-152 Great South Road, Papakura.

5. A resolution for the sale of these sites is required from the Finance and Performance Committee before any disposal can be progressed.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) endorses Panuku Development Auckland’s recommendation to the Finance and Performance Committee to dispose of part of 146-152 Great South Road, Papakura comprised of a stratum in freehold estate comprising approximately 4,680m² more or less being Unit H and a 1/9 share in Accessory Unit 1 and a half share in Accessary Unit 2 Deposited Plan 163462 contained in certificate of title NA98C/385.

b) endorses Panuku Development Auckland’s recommendation to the Finance and Performance Committee to dispose of 78A Great South Road, Papakura comprised of an estate in fee simple comprising approximately 610m² more or less being Lot 1 Deposited Plan 196746 contained in certificate of title NA124C/676.

Comments

6. Panuku and the Auckland Council’s Corporate Finance and Property team work jointly on a comprehensive review of council’s property portfolio. One of the outcomes of the review process is to identify properties in the council portfolio that are potentially surplus to requirements and that may be suitable to sell.

7. Once a property has been identified as potentially surplus, Panuku engages with council and its CCO’s through an expression of interest process, to establish whether the property must be retained for a strategic purpose or is required for a future funded project. Once a property has been internally cleared of any service requirements, Panuku Development Auckland then consults with local boards, ward councillors, mana whenua and the Independent Maori Statutory Board. All sale recommendations must be approved by the Panuku Board before it makes a final recommendation to the Auckland Council governing body.

78A Great South Road, Papakura property information

8. 78A Great South Road, Papakura is a 610m² property with a vacant commercial building located on it. The property was acquired by the PDC in 2008 for use during the construction of the Artillery Drive Stormwater Truck Pipeline. This work is currently been undertaken and is due to be completed in July 2016.

9. The Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan zoning of the site is Business - Metropolitan Centre. It has a 2014 capital value of $490,000. This site appears to be subject to the offer back obligation set out in section 40 of the Public Works Act 1981. This site is not one of council’s strategic assets to which the Significance Policy applies.

10. The rationalisation process for this property commenced in May 2015. No expressions of interest were received. The Heritage team was invited prior to the internal consultation process to raise any archaeological issues. The Closed Landfills and Contaminated Land Response team were also asked to assess this site prior to the internal consultation commencing to ensure any possible contamination issues were identified. No issues were raised. The internal consultation process also provided the Maori Strategy and Relations team the opportunity to flag any issue that is of particular relevance to Maori. No issues were raised.

11. The results of the rationalisation process to date indicate that this property will not be required for current or future service requirements once the stormwater works have been completed. As such, Panuku recommends that this site be divested once the stormwater works are completed.

146-152 Great South Road property information

12. The subject site is part of a larger property and comprises 3413m² rooftop car park, a 1/9 share in a ground floor car park and a half share in a lift to provide access to the rooftop car park. The balance of the property is owned by Tunicin Properties Limited. Farmers Trading Company is the anchor tenant in the building.

13. The subject areas were acquired by the PDC in 1997 from the current owner of the balance of building. The reasons for the PDC acquiring the subject areas of this property included:

a) it would demonstrate the PDC’s commitment to improving infrastructure in the central business district;

b) it met PDC’s car parking provision policy; and

c) it would be a sound investment.

14. Tunicin Properties Limited recently approached Auckland Council about reacquiring the council owned portions of this property. It’s rationale for seeking to reacquire the subject parts of this property are:

a) the rooftop car park currently requires a great deal of maintenance, which is onerous on the body corporate; and

b) the owner of the balance of the property are considering redeveloping the property, and potentially adding additional levels to the existing structure.

15. The Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan zoning of the site is Metropolitan Centre - Papakura. It has a 2014 capital value of $860,000. This site is exempt from the offer back obligation set out in section 40 of the Public Works Act 1981. This site is not one of council’s strategic assets to which the Significance Policy applies.

16. The rationalisation process for this property commenced in December 2014. No expressions of interest were received. The Heritage team was invited prior to the internal consultation process to raise any archaeological issues. The Closed Landfills and Contaminated Land Response team were also asked to assess this site prior to the internal consultation commencing to ensure any possible contamination issues were identified. No issues were raised. The internal consultation process also provided the Maori Strategy and Relations team the opportunity to flag any issue that is of particular relevance to Maori. No issues were raised.

17. The results of the rationalisation process to date indicate that this property is not required for current or future service requirements. As such, Panuku recommends that this site be divested.
