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 Henderson-Massey Local Board adopted its grants programme on 20 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; and

·        any additional accountability requirements.

7.       The Henderson-Massey Local Board will operate four quick response rounds and two local grant rounds for this financial year.  The second quick response round closed on 28 February 2016.

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 Henderson-Massey Local Board set a total community grants budget of $51,000.

10.     The local board has already allocated $37,188.61 leaving a balance of $13,811.39 for the remaining 2015/2016 financial year.

11.     Sixteen applications were received in this round, with a total requested of $25,422

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

12.     Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community grants.  The Henderson-Massey 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.”

Māori impact statement

14.     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

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

16.     Following the Henderson-Massey Local Board allocating funding for round two quick response grants, Commercial and Finance staff will notify the applicants of the local board decision.

New Road Name Approval for the Residential Subdivision by Hy Development Limited at 14 Bordeaux Parade, Te Atatu South

 

File No.: CP2016/02142

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Henderson-Massey Local Board, for a new road name for a road created by way of Subdivision at 14 Bordeaux Parade, Te Atatu South.

Executive Summary

2.       Auckland Council has road naming guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming for the Auckland Council.

3.       Following assessment against the road naming criteria, the road names Meritage Lane, Melbec Lane and Muscadelle Lane were determined to meet the road naming policy criteria.

4.       Local Iwi groups were consulted. Tame Te Rangi on behalf of Te Runanga o Ngati Whatua supported the preferred choice of Meritage Lane.

5.       The name Meritage Lane, proposed by the Applicant and the names Melbec Lane and Muscadelle Lane are recommended for approval to the Local Board.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      pursuant to Section 319(1)(j), of the Local Government Act 1974, approve the road name Meritage Lane, proposed by the Applicant, for the new road created by way of subdivision at 14 Bordeaux Parade , Te Atatu South, while noting that Melbec Lane and Muscadelle Lane also meet the road naming criteria.

 

Comments

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

7.       In 2006, Auckland Council approved an Application for a combined land use and subdivision consent to undertake a subdivision creating 84 residential allotments at 14 Bordeaux Parade, Te Atatu South. The subdivision contains a road that will provide 31 allotments with road access. The consent holder has proposed to label the road Meritage Lane (SUB2006-1301).

8.       The Applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for the road created as part of the development at 14 Bordeaux Parade, Te Atatu South


 

Preference

Proposed New Road Name

Meaning

Preferred Name

Meritage Lane

A blend of Bordeaux wines, including Merlot

First Alternative

 

Melbec Lane

Type of Bordeaux wine

Second Alternative

 

Muscadelle Lane

Type of Bordeaux wine

 

9.       The Auckland Council, by way of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (2012-2022), allocated the responsibility for the naming of new roads, pursuant to Section 319(1)9j) of the Local Government Act 1974, to Local Boards.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

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

11.     The Applicant’s proposed road names have been assessed against the criteria set out in the Auckland Council road naming guidelines:

12.     Meritage Lane, Melbec Lane and Muscadelle Lane all meet the criteria set out in the Road Naming Guidelines.

13.     As the Applicant’s preferred name Meritage Lane meets the criteria, it is recommended for consideration for approval as it complies with all the criteria of the road naming guidelines.

Māori impact statement

14.     The decision sought from the Henderson-Massey Local Board on this report is linked to the Auckland Plan Outcome, “A Maori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the World”. The use of Maori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Maori identity.

15.     Consultation with local Iwi was undertaken by the applicant and Tame Te Rangi for and on behalf of Te Runanga o Ngati Whatua supported the name Meritage Lane. No other replies from iwi were received by the applicant.

16.     Consultation with NZ Post was undertaken by the applicant and all suggested names were accepted.

Implementation

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

18.     The cost of processing the approval of the proposed new road name and any installation of road name signage is recoverable in accordance with Council’s Administrative Charges.

19.     The decision sought from the Henderson-Massey Local Board for this report is not considered to have any legal or legislative implications.

New road name approval for a road to vest, created by way of subdivision at 23-47 Westgate Drive

 

File No.: CP2016/01684

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Henderson-Massey Local Board for a new road to vest, created by way of a subdivision at 23-47 Westgate Drive, Massey (Council reference: LUC/2013/1660, SUB/2013/1662 and REG/2013/1667).

Executive Summary

2.       Auckland Council has road naming guidelines which set out the requirements and criteria of the Council for naming a new road. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming for the Auckland Council.

3.       Following assessment against the road naming criteria, the road name, ‘Tihema Lane’ (the applicant’s preferred road name), was determined to meet the road naming policy criteria.

4.       Neon Limited (the applicant) sent correspondence to 7 local iwi groups, advising of the proposed name and asking for comments and alternative options for the name. Either support was provided, or no objections were raised. No alternative names were suggested by any of the iwi contacted.

5.       Neon Limited has suggested ‘Tihema Lane’ as the name for the road, after the nearby stream.

6.       The name ‘Tihema Lane’, proposed by the applicant, is recommended for approval to the Local Board.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, approves the road name ‘Tihema Lane’ proposed by the applicant, for the new road to vest created by way of a subdivision at 23-47 Westgate Drive, Massey.

 

Comments

7.       The site is located at 23-47 Westgate Drive, Massey, and is legally described as Lot 2 DP 421151 (CT 480844), (as represented in figure one). Council granted consent on 21st of January 2014 (LUC/2013/1660, SUB/2013/1662 and REG/2013/1667) for the creation of 19 residential sites, a balance area and a road to vest. This road naming application relates to this road to vest and is identified below in figure one. It would be created along the south of the proposed residential lots and would extend from Westgate Drive to Rush Creek Drive.

Figure one: Showing the portion of land where the road will be located (red), and the location of the nearby stream which the road is named after (blue).

 

Figure two: Location of proposed road.

8.       The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allows that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name for the Local Board’s approval. Neon Limited (the applicant) has the preferred name ‘Tihema Lane’ for the new road to vest, created by way of subdivision.

Decision Making

2.       The May 2015 Budget Committee approved a review of the BID policy to be undertaken in collaboration with business improvement districts and local boards. The committee also approved a new service delivery model for Auckland Council’s BID programme team.  Both need to be operational by 1 July 2016, as per resolution number BUD/2015/62. 

3.       The primary objective for reviewing the 2011 policy is to clarify and confirm the roles, responsibilities and accountability required for each of the partner groups that have a key role in delivering the Auckland BID Programme.  The review is required, as there will be significant changes to the roles of the different partner groups, as part of the move to the new service delivery model.  BID Policy (2016) project scope does not include a review of the principles of having a BID programme.

4.       BID programmes are based on Auckland Council collecting a targeted rate for core funding – collected using powers under the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002.  They are represented by business associations, which are independent incorporated societies sitting outside Auckland Council.  Local boards have the primary relationship with business associations operating BID programmes in their area.

5.       The December 2015 Regional Strategy and Policy Committee approved the draft policy for consultation (resolution number REG/2015/103).

6.       The BID Policy (2016) includes two separate but linked parts:

·    Part 1 – Policy – sets the rules “the what to do”

·    Part 2 - Policy Operating Standards – “the how to do”

7.       Business associations operating existing BID programmes, local boards and stakeholders have had opportunities to input into the development of BID Policy (2016). 

8.       Local boards are now being invited to provide formal feedback on a revised draft policy (attachment A the policy and attachment B the operating standards).

9.       Feedback from local boards will help shape the further development of BID Policy (2016).  It would be, however, particularly useful to get local board views on a number of matters outlined below:

i.          Are local boards’ roles and responsibilities clear in respect of BID programmes?

ii.       Do you agree that BID programmes below $100k target rate income per annum should (normally) have audited financial accounts every two financial years to reduce costs for smaller BID programmes?

iii.      Do you consider that the processes outlined to handle problems, issues and serious concerns are fair to all parties and provide enough clarity?

10.     Officers are working to ensure that the policy aligns with Auckland Council’s Māori Responsiveness Framework and are in contact with the Independent Maori Statutory Board to discuss relevant opportunities to leverage the Auckland BID Programme.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      provide feedback on the draft Business Improvement District Policy (2016) or,

b)      delegate to the Chair and member(s) to provide feedback on the draft Business Improvement District Policy (2016) before the feedback deadline of 31 March 2016.

 

 

Comments

BID programmes

11.     BID programmes are based on Auckland Council collecting a targeted rate to provide core funding to business associations using powers under the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002.  The business associations, which are independent incorporated societies sitting outside Auckland Council, deliver the BID programmes.

12.     BID programmes are established to develop local business prosperity and local economic development.  They are defined by a partnership agreement between each business association and Auckland Council, in which both parties agree to operate within the BID Policy.

13.     Local boards have the primary relationship with business associations operating BID programmes in their area including:

i.        As collaboration partners – local boards and business associations have a vested interest in a particular place and share similar goals.  Working collaboratively will achieve greater outcomes.

ii.       As governors – local boards have significant decision-making responsibly for BID programmes, including recommending to the governing body to strike a BID programme target rate and around BID programme establishments, expansions amalgamations and disputes.

BID Policy (2016)

14.     The May 2015 Budget Committee approved a review of the BID policy to be undertaken in collaboration with business improvement districts and local boards.  The committee also approved a new service delivery model for the Auckland Council BID programme team.  Both need to be operational by 1 July 2016, as per resolution number BUD/2015/62.

15.     The primary objective for reviewing the 2011 policy is to clarify and confirm the roles, responsibilities and accountability required for each of the partner groups that have a key role in delivering the Auckland BID Programme.  The review is required, as there will be significant changes to the roles of the different partner groups, as part of the move to the new service delivery model.  BID Policy (2016) project scope does not include a review of the principles of having a BID programme.

16.     The BID Policy (2016) establishes the rules and responsibilities of the Auckland BID Programme.  It will replace the Auckland Region Business Improvement District Policy (2011), from the date of adoption by Auckland Council.

17.     The BID Policy (2016) includes two separate but linked parts:

·    Part 1 – Policy – sets the rules “the what to do”

·    Part 2 - Policy Operating Standards – “the how to do”.

18.     The December 2015 Regional Strategy and Policy Committee approved the draft policy for consultation (resolution number REG/2015/103).  Business associations operating BID programmes were invited to provide feedback on the draft policy by 18 December 2015.

Consultation to date

19.     The consultation process commenced in September 2015 and partners and stakeholders have had a number of opportunities to provide feedback.

20.     Business associations (operating BID programmes) have been invited to attend a number of workshops in September and November to discuss the key themes for policy change and the draft policy.  Sixteen separate written submissions on the draft policy were received by business associations by the 18 December deadline.

21.     Key sector and industry groups that are represented in BID programme areas and subject matter experts have been asked for feedback on the draft policy.  Feedback has been received from Independent Election Services and The Property Institute. 

22.     Other stakeholders have indicated that they will provide feedback in the next few weeks.  Feedback from stakeholders will be incorporated into the revised draft policy.

Differences between BID Policy 2011 and 2016 and feedback received

23.     There are a number of key themes for policy change that have helped shape the development of the draft BID Policy (2016).  The themes have been discussed as part of the consultation process with local boards, business associations operating BID programmes and key stakeholders.  The table below provides details of the key themes for change between the 2011 and 2016 policies, feedback received and the draft policy response to this feedback.

Key themes for change, feedback received and draft policy response

Key themes for change

Differences between 2011 and 2016

Feedback received and response

Clarify and confirm partner roles

Clearer definitions of the roles of each of the key Auckland BID Programme partners

Feedback:

·      Business associations concerned about the stated local board delegations

Draft policy response:  Added wording to clarify the overall intent of these delegations  - there should be a focus on creating a collaborative and aspirational relationship between a local board and a business association operating a BID programme

·      Feedback from local boards and local board services team that some of the draft responsibilities of local board representatives on BID programme boards were not appropriate

Draft policy response:  Draft roles amended to reflect feedback received.

 

Accountability - keep full financial audits or proportional relating to size of BID (target rate)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Audits for all BID programmes must report on areas of financial control

Feedback:

Business associations were overall in favour of keeping audits.   Mixed feedback from local boards - a majority keen to keep audits but others requesting a financial review or proportional requirement to BID programme size.

 

Draft policy response: keep audits but:

 

·      BID programmes with target rate income of $100,000 per annum or greater  - audits every financial year

·      BID programmes with a target rate income under $100,000 per annum – audits every two financial years - subject to no serious concerns from previous audit.

Resolution of issues

Clearer definition of issues,  concerns and the processes to resolve

Feedback:

Concern from a number of business associations that the policy steps too soon into intervention by Auckland Council

Draft policy response:

Relevant sections in both parts of the policy have been re-written to provide a staged response with a significant number of steps before Auckland Council would consider intervention in the management of the BID programme.

Rating mechanisms -Increasing baseline for new BID programmes

 

The minimum required for a new BID programme establishment is increased from $50,000 to $120,000 (target rate only)

Feedback:

BID programmes were overall in favour of increasing the baseline.   Mixed feedback from local boards - some agreed with increasing the minimum but others thought that it would disadvantage smaller and/or less prosperous business areas.

Draft policy response:

Ideal minimum changed to $120,000 but still with the option to explore new BID programme establishment for proposed target rates less than this on a case-by-case basis (subject to the BID programme proponents meeting establishment criteria outlined in Policy Operating Standards).

 

Local board feedback on BID Policy (2016)

24.     Local boards have provided some feedback at the 19 workshops during September and October 2015 on the key themes of accountability, new BID programme establishment and programme leverage. 

25.     Local boards are now being asked to provide formal feedback on a revised draft policy (attachment A the policy and attachment B the operating standards). 

26.     Feedback from local boards will help shape the further development of BID Policy (2016).  It would be, however, particularly useful to get local board views on a number of matters outlined below:

i.          Are local boards’ roles and responsibilities clear in respect of BID programmes?

ii.       Do you agree that BID programmes below $100k target rate income per annum should (normally) have audited financial accounts every two financial years to reduce costs for smaller BID programmes?

iii.      Do you consider that the processes outlined to handle problems, issues and serious concerns are fair to all parties and provide enough clarity?

Next steps

27.     Feedback from local boards, external stakeholders and any further feedback from business associations (operating BID programmes) will be reviewed by officers and this will help inform the further development of the policy.  Officers will then hold a second joint workshop with Regional Strategy and Policy Committee members and local board chairs and/or ED portfolio holders in mid-April, before seeking approval of the final draft version of the policy at the 5 May 2016 committee meeting.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

28.     The consultation process commenced in September 2015 and local boards have had a number of opportunities to provide feedback including:

·    A memo was sent to local board members and councillors on 16 September 2015 outlining the purpose and proposed process for developing the policy.

·    Following the memo, officers provided a briefing to the Local Board Chair’s Forum on 28 September 2015

·    During September and October 2015, officers attended 19 local board workshops to seek feedback on the proposed key themes for policy change

·    The draft BID Policy (2016) was work-shopped with members of the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee, local board chairs and local board economic development portfolio holders on 5 November 2015.  This workshop provided a progress update and outlined the feedback received from both BID programmes and local boards to date

·    A second memo was sent to local board members on 1 December 2015, providing an update on the policy development process, attaching the draft BID Policy (2016) and a summary of local board and business association feedback to date.

Māori impact statement

29.     Officers are working with Auckland Council’s Te Waka Angamua Department to ensure that the BID Policy (2016) aligns with the Auckland Council’s Māori Responsiveness Framework.

30.     Officers are in contact with the Independent Māori Statutory Board to discuss the policy and opportunities to leverage the Auckland BID Programme.

31.     Paragraph 1.9 of the BID Policy 2016 (part 1) outlines the potential to leverage the Auckland BID Programme under the new operational model, working initially within Auckland Council to identify potential opportunities.  For example, this could include working closely with key stakeholders and business associations to investigate and pilot opportunities to provide assistance to Māori businesses or facilitate Māori economic development.

Implementation

32.     The BID (Policy) 2016 and the new BID Programme Team service delivery model are intended to become operational on 1 July 2016.

Feedback on the Draft Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group Plan

 

File No.: CP2016/02537

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       To seek local board feedback on the draft Civil Defence and Emergency Management (CDEM) Group Plan 2016 -2021, noting that the draft CDEM Group Plan advocates for each local board to develop local emergency management plans.

Executive Summary

2.       Auckland Council is required under the Civil Defence and Emergency Management Act (2002) to develop and review the direction for civil defence and emergency activities within Auckland through a five yearly review of the Civil Defence and Emergency Management (CDEM) Group Plan. The current CDEM Group Plan for Auckland is due to expire in June 2016.

3.       A draft Auckland Civil Defence and Emergency Management (CDEM) Group Plan 2016-2021 (draft Group Plan) has been developed for consultation (a copy is appended as Attachment A). The draft Group Plan is primarily centred on community empowerment and resilience across all environments (social, economic, environmental and infrastructure). 

4.       This report asks the board to provide feedback on the draft Group Plan, with particular reference to the proposal for local boards to champion development of local emergency management plans, and the role of elected members in a civil defence emergency.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      provides feedback on the draft Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group Plan 2016-2021, with particular reference to local priorities for emergency management.

 

 

Comments

5.       The Auckland CDEM Group is a statutory committee of Auckland Council as required under section 12 of the CDEM Act. The CDEM Group has overall responsibility for the provision of CDEM within Auckland. It comprises five elected members of the Auckland Council and a number of co-opted observers from CDEM agencies invited by the committee to attend.

6.       The CDEM Group has delegated authority to develop, approve, implement, and monitor the CDEM Group Plan. The purpose of the Group Plan is to enable the effective, efficient and coordinated delivery of CDEM across Auckland while building a resilient Auckland with our communities. All CDEM groups are required every five years to consult on the development of group plans under the CDEM Act (2002). The current Group Plan for Auckland expires at the end of 2016.

7.       The draft Group Plan has been developed as a framework for action which will form the basis for more detailed business planning and development of civil defence and emergency management work programmes. The key framework areas for consultation are:

·    Knowledge through education

·    Volunteer participation

·    Emergency Management planning

·    Business and organisational resilience

·    Strong partnerships

·    Response capability and capacity

·    Information and communications technologies

·    Build Back better

·    A safe city

·    Research

·    Building resilient communities

8.       Local boards are well placed to help with leadership, championing resilience and local engagement in their respective communities. The draft Group Plan proposes that this role be formalised through the development of local CDEM plans. It is anticipated that the development of local CDEM plans will provide further opportunity for local boards to determine their role in a civil defence emergency.

9.       Actions described in further detail on page 37 of the attached draft Group Plan respond to feedback received from local board workshops that local boards wanted a more formalised, simple mechanism to support their communities in planning and responding to emergencies.

10.     Public consultation timelines on the draft Group Plan is from 15 February to 18 April 2016 with significant consultation as part of the Have your Say annual plan events. The final Group Plan is due to be formally adopted by the CDEM Committee in August 2016.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

11.     Local board portfolio holders have been briefed on issues relevant to the draft Group Plan and, on their recommendation, workshops were held with 20 of the local boards in October 2015.  The results of these workshops helped formulate relevant sections of the draft Group Plan. 

12.     Local board views on the draft Group Plan are being sought in this report. Subject to consultation, the Group Plan indicates a wider role for local boards in emergency management.

Māori impact statement

13.     Māori will have the opportunity to submit on the draft Group Plan during the statutory consultation phase.

14.     In addition, the CDEM department are developing a Māori Responsiveness Plan to support a more proactive approach to engaging iwi and mataawaka in emergency management planning.

Implementation

15.     The draft Group Plan is to be adopted by the CDEM Committee in August 2016.  The Group Plan is also provided to the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management for review. The flow chart appended as Attachment B to this report provides further information on the process for developing and implementing the Group Plan.

Local government elections - order of names on voting documents

 

File No.: CP2016/03716

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       To provide feedback to the governing body on how names should be arranged on the voting documents for the Auckland Council 2016 election.

Executive Summary

2.       The Local Electoral Regulations 2001 provide a local authority the opportunity to decide by resolution whether the names on voting documents are arranged in:

(i)           alphabetical order of surname

(ii)          pseudo-random order

(iii)          random order.

3.       Pseudo-random order means an arrangement where names are listed in a random order and the same random order is used on every voting document.

4.       Random order means an arrangement where names are listed in a random order and a different random order is used on every voting document.

5.       In 2013 the council resolved for names to be arranged in alphabetical order of surname.  A key consideration was the extra cost of using one of the random order options.  The electoral officer has advised that it is now possible to use a true random arrangement with minimal additional cost.

6.       Staff recommend that the current approach of alphabetical printing is retained for the 2016 council elections, as the benefits to the voter noted above, outweigh any perception of a name order bias problem that analysis of the 2013 results show does not exist. 

 

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      recommend to the governing body that candidate names on voting documents should be arranged in:

(choose one only)

EITHER: alphabetical order of surname 

OR: pseudo-random order

OR: random order.

 

 

Comments

Background

7.       The Local Electoral Regulations 2001, clause 31 states:

(1)     The names under which each candidate is seeking election may be arranged on the voting document in alphabetical order of surname, pseudo-random order, or random order.

(2)     Before the electoral officer gives further public notice under section 65(1) of the Act, a local authority may determine, by a resolution, which order, as set out in subclause (1), the candidates' names are to be arranged on the voting document.

(3)     If there is no applicable resolution, the candidates' names must be arranged in alphabetical order of surname.

(4)     If a local authority has determined that pseudo-random order is to be used, the electoral officer must state, in the notice given under section 65(1) of the Act, the date, time, and place at which the order of the candidates' names will be arranged and any person is entitled to attend.

(5)     In this regulation,—

pseudo-random order means an arrangement where—

(a) the order of the names of the candidates is determined randomly; and

(b) all voting documents use that order

random order means an arrangement where the order of the names of the candidates is determined randomly or nearly randomly for each voting document by, for example, the process used to print each voting document.

2013 elections

8.       In 2013 the council resolved to use the alphabetical order.  A key consideration was that there would be an additional cost of $100,000 if council chose the random order.  The electoral officer has advised that due to changes in printing technology, it is now possible to use the random order with minimal additional cost.

9.       All the metropolitan councils apart from Auckland Council used random order printing for their 2013 local authority elections..

10.     Of the District Health Boards that were elected in conjunction with the 2013 council elections, the Counties Manukau District Health Board chose the random order.  Auckland and Waitemata District Health Boards chose alphabetical.

11.     Of the Licensing Trusts that were elected in conjunction with the 2013 council elections, all chose alphabetical except for the Wiri Licensing Trust which chose pseudo-random order.

 

Options for 2016

Pseudo-random order and random order printing

12.     The advantage of random order printing is it removes the perception of name order bias, but the pseudo-random order of names simply substitutes a different order for an alphabetical order and any perceived first-name bias will transfer to the name at the top of the pseudo randomised list.  The only effective alternative to alphabetical order is random order.

13.     A disadvantage to both the random printing options is it may be confusing for the voter as it is not possible for the supporting documents such as the directory of candidate profile statements to follow the order of a random voting paper.

Alphabetical order

14.     The advantage of the alphabetical order printing is that it is familiar; it is easier to use and understand. When there are a large number of candidates competing for a position it is easier for a voter to find the candidate the voter wishes to support if names are listed alphabetically.

15.     It is also easier for a voter if the order of names on the voting documents follows the order of names in the directory of candidate profile statements accompanying the voting document.  The directory is listed in alphabetical order.  It is not possible to print it in such a way that each copy aligns with the random order of names on the accompanying voting documents.

16.     The disadvantage of this alphabetical printing is that there is some documented evidence, mainly from overseas, of voter bias to those at the top of a voting list.

17.     An analysis of the council’s 2013 election results is contained in Attachment A.  It shows that any bias to those at the top of the voting lists is very small.  The analysis looked at:

·    impact on vote share. (Did the candidate at the top of the list receive more votes than might be expected)?

·    impact on election outcome (did being at the top of list result in the candidate being elected more often than might be expected?).

18.     The analysis showed that, for local boards, being listed first increased a candidate’s vote share by approximately 1 percentage point above that which would be expected statistically if voting was random. There was no detectable impact of being listed first on the share of votes received in ward elections.

19.     Therefore for the 2013 council election results, there was no detectable impact of being listed first on whether a candidate was elected or not.  In fact there were slightly fewer candidates at the top of lists elected to positions (29) than might be expected statistically if voting was random (31). Similarly, there was no meaningful impact of having a surname earlier in the alphabet on election outcomes.

20.     Given there is no compelling evidence of first name bias for the council’s own 2013 results, staff recommend that the current approach of alphabetical printing is retained for the 2016 council elections, as the benefits to the voter noted above, outweigh any perception of a name order bias problem that analysis of the 2013 results show does not exist. 

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

21.     Feedback from local boards will be reported to the governing body when the governing body is asked to determine the matter by resolution.

Māori impact statement

22.     The order of names on voting documents does not specifically impact on the Māori community.  It is noted that candidates are able to provide their profile statements both in English and Māori.

Implementation

23.     There are no implementation issues as a result of this report.

Henderson-Massey Local Board feedback on proposed amendments to the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management

 

File No.: CP2016/04098

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       The purpose of the report is to provide the Henderson-Massey Local board to formally resolve on its feedback to the proposed amendments to the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management.

Executive Summary

2.       In February 2016 the government released a consultation document on its proposals for fresh water reforms.

3.       Government is seeking feedback on proposed changes to the way fresh water is managed. The reforms aim to improve management of fresh water to deliver better environmental and economic outcomes and better outcomes for iwi.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)   Notes its feedback (attachment A) to the proposed amendments to the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management.

 

Discussion

4.       The reforms consider amending the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management regarding the impacts of:

·    significant infrastructure

·    mandatory macroinvertebrate monitoring

·    water quality requirements in intermittently opening and closing lagoons

·    the meaning of ‘maintain or improve overall water quality’)

·    stock exclusion

·    the economic use of fresh water.

·    iwi rights/interests

·    freshwater funding

 


Consideration

Local board views and implications

5.       Auckland Council intends making a submission.

6.       Henderson-Massey Local Board discussed the proposed amendments at their workshop on 8 March 2016 and provided input to the preparation of the council submission. The board is now formally providing this feedback as an annex to the Auckland Council submission, via resolutions from this report.

Maori impact statement

7.       The Waitangi Tribunal found that the propriety right guaranteed to iwi and hapu by the Treaty of Waitangi was the exclusive right to control access to and use of the water while it was in their rohe (boundary, district, region, territory or, area). However, the tribunal also accepted that the treaty changed Maori rights by giving the Crown governance powers, which includes the right to manage fresh water in the best interests of all. The tribunal found that Maori still have ‘residual property rights’ today.

8.       Te Mana o Te Wai is a core concept for fresh water. It represents the innate well-being and vitality of a water body and its ability to provide for the health of the water, the environment and the people.

9.       Two proposals are included in the consultation document that aim to provide context and give effect to Te Mana o Te Wai as the underpinning platform for community discussions on freshwater values, objectives and limits.

10.     The proposals have been developed through engagement between Government Ministers and the Freshwater Iwi Leaders Group. Both parties acknowledge the proposals do not address all aspirations of iwi/hapu, nor does the engagement represent all iwi/hapu/Whanau perspectives.

Implementation Issues

11.     Local Board input to the Auckland Council submission was provided on 11 March 2016.

12.     Formal local board feedback as an annex to the submission is due by 15 April 2016.

13.     All submissions on the consultation documentation are due by 5.00pm Friday 22 April 2016.
