Panuku Development Auckland
File No.: CP2016/01174
Purpose
1. To provide the
Seniors Advisory Panel with an update from Panuku Development Auckland, as
requested by the Panel.
Executive
Summary
2. A number of
Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) staff attended the joint housing workshop
on 16 October 2015 initiated by the Seniors and Disability Advisory Panels. The
purpose of the workshop was to have an early discussion of the Panuku
objectives in relation to ‘adaptable and resilient places that inspire
well-being, promote health and safety and are fully accessible to disabled
people and older adults....’
3. It is noted
that only a small proportion of housing (estimated one per cent) in Auckland is
considered to be “accessible”. The panel members were very clear about their
aspiration to maximise accessibility standards for all new housing and that
Panuku take a lead in this. The Panel members acknowledged that Panuku would
need to undertake analysis and form a policy approach in terms of where, when
and how this strategic objective would be advanced. The Panels’ also sought an
update in Quarter 1, 2016.
4. Since the
workshop, Panuku has agreed the following specific actions in the Disability
Action Plan and this work is underway:
|
Action
1.5
|
Provide
training on universal design and accessibility for Auckland Council and
Auckland Transport staff and contractors and Panuku Development Auckland.

5. Staff
training on universal design was delivered by the Auckland Design Office in
late December and a significant volume of information was provided.
6. Panuku is
developing a Corporate Responsibility Framework which will articulate the
organisation’s commitments across a range of strategic outcomes, including
accessible design.
7. The outcomes
and recommendations of the Expressions of Interest (EOI) process for Housing
for Older Persons Portfolio were reported to the Governing Body prior to
Christmas, and adopted. A business planning process has just been initiated
for the Housing for Older Persons Portfolio and the design outcomes is an
element of this.
8. Panuku will
provide a further update to the Panel when the specific commitments and
approach have been agreed.
|
Recommendation/s

Panel:

Comments
3.
This report provides an update on the panel’s
programme of work and advice provided.
4.
In November 2015 the panel received an update on
the planning for the 2016 local government elections. Feedback from this and
other panels was shared with the steering committee overseeing the development
and delivery of the local government election in Auckland.
5.
In a response to a request for feedback from
advisory panels on the proposed communication and engagement approach for the
Annual Plan 2016-2017 (known as the ‘Annual Budget’), panel members developed and
submitted feedback by email.
6.
The panel’s input focused on the need for plain
and simple messages that will speak to all Aucklanders and engagement that
takes account of Auckland’s diversity in a very wide sense. This includes
explaining the relationship between the annual budget and the Long Term Plan
(LTP), and learning from LTP engagement. Engagement needs to reach those
sections of the community that prefer face to face engagement and might be reluctant
or unable to engage online. Engagement should not exclude people who are
already marginalised on the basis of their reading and written literacy.
7.
The panel gave advice on building trust and
confidence in the council and democratic processes, including the importance of
people feeling that issues they raise within a specific engagement exercise are
acknowledged and addressed. Increasing the public’s interest in civic
engagement that feels relevant requires acknowledgment of the wide-ranging
social and economic circumstances of Aucklanders.
8.
In response to questions about the council’s
stakeholder database used for engagement with the older people’s sector, the
panel will be able to view and make recommendations on the coverage of the
list.
9.
In response to several discussions with panel
members, work has begun in two policy areas. One is to establish the nature and
scale of housing issues experienced by older people, based on the evidence
which is currently available. This includes identifying stakeholder organisations and the council’s role in respect of the issues. The other area of
study is ‘ageing Auckland.’ Updates on these studies are expected at upcoming
panel meetings.
10. The panel’s interest in understanding the needs of kaumatua and kuia
in Auckland is to be explored before the next meeting.
11. The letter from a member of the public referred to in the programme
update report for 30 November also expressed concern around the positioning of
older people in the Auckland Plan.
12. Panel meetings for this year are set for 21 March, 2 May, 13 June,
25 July and 5 September.
