Project title				TRAX Youth Leadership Training Weekend
Dates				27/05/2016 - 29/05/2016
Location				Glen Eden Baptist Church, 97 Glendale Road, Glen Eden and activity venues around Auckland
Summary				A Youth Leadership Training Weekend for the volunteer leaders who help with our childrens' programs. These leaders range in age from 10-23 years. We facilitate a weekend where they stay onsite at the church (to eliminate accommodation costs), receive leadership training seminars and got out on trips to a range of fun and challenging team building activities.
Focus specific information
Cost of participation				Yes, a registration fee that is far lower than the cost per youth. This gives a sense of responsibility but does not prevent attendance through lack of finances.
Requesting grant for				We are requesting funding to go towards most parts of the project. The accommodation is free and we will raise some money through charging youth leader registration fees of $20 per student. The participants come from a low socio-economic area so they could not afford higher fees and would not normally be able to afford this type of opportunity.
Active participants				4 speakers, plus 8 volunteers/adult leaders)			Audience size		15 youth (27 total attendees approx.)
Promotion				Yes Our Childrens' Ministry Leader will promote our Youth Leadership Training weekend during the notices time at our Sunday meetings, with a projected advert. Then we hand out fliers which are also registration forms to the youth who are already leaders helping with our childrens' programs and to the youth who want to train to be leaders. We also advertise the weekend on our youth leadership Facebook page.
Local board recognition				We will acknowledge Auckland Council in our Annual General report and we will put the Waitakere Ranges Local Board logo and the statement "Funding provided by the Western Joint Funding Subcommittee" on fliers such as the registration forms, feedback forms and completion certificates relating to the project. We will also mention the council support on our website.
Alignment with local board priorities				· promote youth well-being, support our diverse communities to be healthy and safe and people feel that they are valued, connected and belong. TRAX Leadership Training Weekend promotes youth well-being as it really helps the youth leaders to feel connected to each other as a team, to feel valued as leaders and to understand how they can support our community through the organised activities they are being trained to help at. These young people often go on to be leaders in their schools and sports teams. This is a rare opportunity for these youth from a low socio-economic area to participate in professional team building activities that they couldn’t otherwise afford and it also really boosts their self-esteem.

Summary				New Trestle tables to replace the old ones some of which are no longer safe. Also the old wooden ones are very heavy. A request 2 times last year has been noted by the Coordinator for new tables. This request has come from a group of older ladies who not only find our present tables too heavy but have some concerns about the legs not working properly on a couple of our old ones. If you move them they can collapse and full down by themselves.

At present we have some trestle tables that are not safe and very old. We also have many older people who use these tables and at least 2 of these tables folding legs are causing problems when putting the tables u, they are also very heavy. New lightweight tables as per quote would no longer be a danger (collapsing on someone because of the legs) and lighter to lift as needed. I have had requests a couple of times last year from a class to get new tables.

Project title				Delivering the gift of speech to children with Down syndrome
Dates				01/03/2016 - 01/03/2017
Location				Varies based on speech language therapist
Summary				Our organisation funds speech language therapy for children with Down syndrome all over New Zealand, from birth to aged 18. We fund 80% of a family’s therapy costs, to a maximum of $155 per session and $2000 per year. Families engage a registered therapist of their choice, and we reimburse them for the cost of therapy. These programmes are specifically designed to meet the learning and communication needs of children with Down syndrome. Early intervention is important, and there is a strong emphasis on school readiness. Currently, with restricted funds and very limited profile, we have 28 families on our waiting list.
Focus specific information
Cost of participation				The UpsideDowns Education Trust funds up to $155 per speech language therapy session.
Requesting grant for				There are 600 people with Down syndrome living in Auckland. We are requesting funding to support 3 children with Down syndrome in the Waitakere Ranges area. This funding will pay for at least 25 speech language therapy sessions for these 3 children in the Waitakere Ranges region, at a reimbursement rate of up to $155 per session. If all our registered families were to redeem their annual subsidies, we would pay out $206,000 this year. This grant contribution would make a big impact on the Waitakere Ranges community.
Active participants				3 children, with many more individuals positively impacted			Audience size		3 directly, with dozens others influenced as a result of this education
Promotion				No
Local board recognition				The three children with Down syndrome and their families will be told that their speech language therapy costs are being supported by the Auckland Council. This information will in turn passed on to their therapists, schools and wider communities. We are also happy to announce the generosity of Auckland Council on our Facebook page and other social media platforms.
Alignment with local board priorities				promote youth well-being, support our diverse communities to be healthy and safe and people feel that they are valued, connected and belong Our project allows children with Down syndrome to "have a voice" and receive life-changing speech language therapy. The impact of this intervention is far-reaching - our children start school with the ability to communicate, require fewer teacher aide hours, have less frustrations at home and school, and have a greater chance of gaining employment and living independently as adults. This increases the ability of these children to participate in the community and feel included. This adds to the diversity and vibrancy of local neighbourhoods and communities.

RESPONSES AND PROGRESS REPORTS

GOLDIES BUSH - VISITOR IMPACTS FROM PARKING IN HORSMAN RD, WAITAKERE

10. Residents of Horsman Road, Waitakere have contacted the Waitakere Ranges Local Board about parking and road safety impacts from the number of visitors to the DoC reserve, Goldies Bush.

Update

11. Auckland Transport, AC Park and Doc will be attending a site meeting with the Local Board to look at the parking and road safety impacts at Goldies Bush in mid April 2016.

SPEED LIMITS IN 'RURAL' AREAS - Speed Limit Review

12. Auckland Transport’s legislative team has been working with New Zealand Transport Authority (NZTA) and other agencies on this matter over the last 12 months. NZTA have since released a new draft Speed Management Guide, which shows the direction things are heading on this subject. https://www.pikb.co.nz/assets/Uploads/Documents/Speed-Management-Guide-final-draft-1-September-2015-2.pdf

The key changes are;

· The guide puts greater emphasis on “safe and appropriate speeds” and is trying to align both the speed limits and the actual operating speeds to a safe speed.

· In terms of rural speed limits this means moving from having one rural speed limit (100kph) and a couple of semi-rural limits (dependent on development, of 80 & 70kph) to a new approach that has 3 rural speed limits, 100, 80 and 60kph which can be set depending on what is most suitable for the particular road.

· The intention is that major rural arterials with good geometry and safety features will be at the top end of the range (100), while lower traffic roads, roads with more difficult geometry and roads with greater levels of roadside hazards will qualify for the lower speed limits.

· For Waitakere Ranges this is likely to mean that the combination of relatively low traffic volumes and the winding associated hazards of some of the roads, will justify the 60km/h end of the range. However there will be some sections of roads, (on the flatter, straight parts) where there will be a need to consider an 80km/h limit, if 60km/h is too low and the community are not willing to comply.

· In the urban context the new guide gives some improvement in flexibility to use 40km/h instead of 50km/h in local residential areas, where vehicle movements are minimal and there is significant levels of pedestrian or cyclist activity.

13. The draft guideline is still in an evaluation phase with a trial project being undertaken in the Waikato Region at present. See link https://www.nzta.govt.nz/media-releases/waikato-region-speed-limit-changes/

14. Auckland Transport are not expecting the Draft Speed Management Plan to be rolled out to the Auckland Region until approximately the middle of 2016, at which time there will be local engagement on the draft plan.

15. Until the plan is agreed upon and finalised NZTA have imposed a moratorium on speed limit changes other than for addressing high crash risk locations.

16. It is to be noted that the Speed Management Plan will largely agree the future speed limits for each area, but is not purely about setting speed limits alone, as it will also identify infrastructure requirements (eg traffic calming to support lower speeds, safety improvements to make roads safer where the safe speed is in conflict with the desirable speed for an arterial road function) and the need for targeted enforcement (Police) to support speed limit changes.

URBAN MOTORCYCLE UTILITY/SERVICE COVERS

17. In partnership with the NZ Transport Agency, ACC and Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council, Auckland Transport has undertaken a motorcycle demonstration project within an urban context. This project was undertaken in response to the Safer Journey Strategy, which highlighted the high importance of increasing safety for motorcyclists and moped users on New Zealand roads, especially on popular or high risk motorcycling routes.

18. One of the issues raised as part of the motorcycle demonstration project was related to the height difference between the utility/service covers and the road surfaces. The uneven nature can cause a lot of discomfort for motorcyclists and moped users and can also increase their chances of falling off their motorbike or scooter.

19. Through the study, it was identified there is a number of utility/service covers which require adjustments and re-levelling, so that they are flush with the road surface.

20. The following routes have been selected for this demonstration project. They are:

· Great North Road (between Titirangi Road and Swanson Road)

· Swanson Road (between Great North Road and Don Buck Road)

· West Coast Road (between Great North Road and Parrs Cross Road)

· Parrs Cross Road (between West Coast Road and Henderson Valley Road)

SOUTH TITIRANGI, TITIRANGI PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES

23. Auckland Transport sought feedback on a proposal to improve the pedestrian facilities at the intersection of South Titirangi Road and Titirangi Road. Auckland Transport is proposing the following improvements:

· Widening the existing pedestrian refuge island (traffic island with a gap where pedestrians can wait to cross) on South Titirangi Road, at its intersection with Titirangi Road.

· Extending the kerb on the western and eastern sides of the intersection, to reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians.

· Installing new pram crossing facilities to cross South Titirangi Road.

24. The changes were required as the intersection is near the Titirangi Town Centre and there is a high demand for a pedestrian crossing on South Titirangi Road. These improvements will improve pedestrian safety by shortening the distance pedestrians have to cross, and providing a wider refuge area in the middle of the intersection.

25. Auckland Transport will be completing this work in this financial year (June 2015).

26. We have included a drawing outlining the location of these works at attachment 5.

REGIONAL UPDATES

GREEN BAY, TITIRANGI SIGNALS BRIGHT START FOR NEW NETWORK

28. The number of people using the revamped Green Bay, Titirangi area bus services has grown dramatically by 35 per cent in one year. In August 2014, a new public transport network was introduced in Green Bay and the adjoining areas of Blockhouse Bay, Wood Bay, Tanekaha, Titirangi, Laingholm and Kaurilands.

29. It was an ideal opportunity for AT to try out new bus routes applying the principles of the New Network.

30. Some of these features are:

· Better integration of buses with train services at New Lynn, including the very popular 186 South Lynn Loop.

· Simpler, more consistent routes on clock face timetables (buses running at the same minutes past the hour eg. 10.25, 10:55, 11:25, 11:55 and so on).

· A new connection between Glen Eden train station and Titirangi.

· Improved bus services to Laingholm including an express bus service to Downtown Auckland for the first time.

· Retimetabling of western services operated by Go West for improved connections. About $350,000 was spent on this and service punctuality has jumped from 80% to 95%.

31. One of the most notable innovations was streamlining the bus service along Titirangi Road between Titirangi Village and New Lynn. Previously a large number of different and infrequent services connected the two centres and even used different stops opposite one another in Titirangi Village. This was replaced by a simple, consistent service pattern, running every 30 minutes for the entire span of service every day of the week (including weekends), direct from Titirangi Village to New Lynn.

32. Since its commencement, more services have been added to this network to cater for increased public demand.

33. The New Network costs a similar amount of money and uses about the same number of buses as the previous network but has delivered not only a much simpler and more customer-friendly network, it has done so without needing significant additional public funding. And, locals have voted for this much simpler and easier to understand model through patronage.

34. The New Network is a public transport initiative aimed at creating a simpler, more integrated transport network throughout Auckland.

‘BUILD IS ON’ CAMPAIGN STARTS FOR THE CITY RAIL LINK.

35. The ‘Build is ON’ campaign started on the 14 March for the City Rail Link.

36. This phase of the campaign is two-pronged and designed to:

· Raise awareness of traffic delays in the central city that are likely to happen once the build begins

· To get motorists to reconsider their transport options into the city, to consider; public transport, walking, cycling, carpooling or other options

· To inform bus users of changes to bus stops in the central city that are moving as a result of CRL early construction.

37. Campaign material will direct customers to the AT.govt.nz/buildison website where there will be links to appropriate pages.

38. Bus changes come into effect from 18 April and will see a large number of buses that currently depart and terminate in the Britomart area relocated.

39. Below are some examples of collateral to be used (note: these do not represent all elements of the campaign). The campaign will be supported by ‘below the line’ media.
