Infrastructure and Environmental Services Update Report

File No.: CP2016/06160

Purpose

1. To provide an update on delivery of the Great Barrier local environment work programme from January to end of March 2016, and to provide a brief update on regional activity within the delegation of the Great Barrier Environment Committee (the committee).

Executive Summary

2. This report is a regular update to inform and update the Committee on the Great Barrier environment work programme. The report also informs the Committee on regional programmes that impact on the local board area.

Recommendations

That the Great Barrier Environment Committee:

a) note the information in the Infrastructure and Environmental Services update report.

Discussion

3. The Committee agreed its environment work programme at its June and August 2015 meetings. The work programme is supported by budgets for pest coordinator, biosecurity initiatives, environmental enhancement, pest management, and water quality monitoring.

4. The work programme is made up of the following projects;

· Management of leptinella population at Awana;

· Water quality monitoring at Tryphena;

· Community Pest Coordinator;

· Online Sustainability Hub;

· Support for fish passage enhancement;

· Weed survey;

· Weed management and rodent monitoring at Kaitoke;

· Rabbit control; and

· Plague Skink and Argentine Ant monitoring.

5. The board also agreed to fund a trial of the Good Nature traps from its discretionary capex budget.

6. An update on the local environment work programme is appended as Attachment A, with highlights noted in Table 1 below.

Project

Update

Good Nature Trap Project

· The traps were installed at the end of February 2016.

Tryphena Water Quality Monitoring

· Following completion of the April 2016 monitoring round, a report reviewing a full twelve months of monitoring will be provided to the committee.

· This report will also provide recommendations to the committee on how it may proceed with a freshwater monitoring programme on Great Barrier.

Table 1: Highlights – Local Environment Work Programme

7. The February and March biosecurity updates are appended as Attachments B and C for the committee’s information.

8. Local environmental initiatives are also supported through regional funding. An update on regionally funded projects is noted in table 2 below.

The Environment Is At Its Best Here (Local Priority)

Healthy Waterways (Regional Priority)

· Following a workshop in February 2016 on heavy metal testing of the Kaitoke Stream, staff have reviewed the 1986 Ministry of Works report investigating water resources on Great Barrier.

· The report does not contain heavy metal data for the Kaitoke Stream. It does, however, contain data for the Te Ahumata Stream and a tributary in the Blind Bay catchment. The report recommends that further testing is done in these streams for heavy metals. The reason for doing this would be to make sure that water in these streams are safe for human consumption (due to the natural weathering of acid-bearing rocks).

· The report also recommends that further testing for heavy metals could be carried out for streams across the island with similar geologies to check the drinking water safety of other streams. Assuming that these recommendations were never acted upon since the report was written, there is a case for heavy metal testing in potentially all streams on the island with acid-bearing rocks. However, note that his would be most relevant for inhabited areas where people are taking stream water for drinking water purposes.

· A discussion on undertaking that testing will be held as part of the development of the 2016/2017 local board environment work programme.

Zero Waste (Regional Priority)

· Two separate workshops were held with the board and iwi to introduce the development of the Hauraki Gulf Waste Strategy.

· A The Request for Proposal to establish an inorganic dropoff facility was released to the market on 4 March 2016, and will close in mid-April 2016. A briefing for potential suppliers was held in late March 2016.

Table 2: Regional Environment Work Programme

Consideration

Local Board Views

9. This report and attachments specifically detail the activities delivered by the three units of I&ES (Stormwater, Waste Solutions and Environmental Services) within the local board area which support and contribute to the Great Barrier Local Board outcome – The environment is at its best here.

10. The Committee has full delegation to consider matters relating to biodiversity and biosecurity, water quality, and waste management. Therefore, it is the appropriate forum for reporting of activities delivered by the I&ES department.

Maori Impact Statement

11. While this report is for information only and does not require any decision making, it is recognised that environmental management, water quality and land management has integral links with the mauri of the environments and concepts of kaitiakitanga.

General

Implementation Issues

12. There are no implementation issues arising from this report. The update on waterways included in table 2 above contains recommendations to inform the development of the committee’s 2016/2017 work programme.

Comments

LDI

4. Local boards are requested to agree the level of funding for each group of activity. This funding is further allocated to specific projects and services detailed in the work programmes.

5. As part of the funding policy, local boards can resolve to defer those projects that are funded by the LDI where there was an agreed scope and cost but have not been delivered. The Local Board may wish to resolve 2015/2016 projects that meet the criteria for deferral to 2016/2017.

6. Key information of the funding of each activity and the LDI funded projects that meet the criteria for deferral is provided in Attachment A.

Advocacy issues

7. Local boards resolved on their key advocacy issues in November 2015, for discussions with the Finance and Performance Committee and consultation. Since then, relevant council departments and Council Controlled Organisations have provided local boards with advice on the current position of each advocacy issue, and any next steps. This information was provided to local boards in April 2016, as part of a broader information pack, to consider at their workshops, and is also attached to this report for information (see Attachment B).

8. Local boards consulted on their local advocacy issues in February and March 2016. The results from the consultation have been analysed and summarised, and provided to the local boards. This has been attached to this report for information (see Attachment C).

9. In light of this information, the Local Board may now wish to agree any advocacy priorities for discussion with the Finance and Performance Committee on 6 and 9 May.

Regional issues

10. Local boards provided feedback on regional financial policy issues (in November 2015) which were going for consultation. The results from the consultation have been analysed and summarised, and provided to local boards (see Attachment C).

11. The Local Board may wish to provide further feedback on these issues for consideration by the Finance and Performance Committee.

Local targeted rate and BID targeted rate proposals

12. Local boards are required to agree any new BID and local targeted rate proposals (noting that any new local targeted rates and/or BIDs must have been consulted on before they can be implemented).

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

13. Local board decisions and feedback is being sought in this report.

14. Local boards play an important role in the development of the annual plan, and provide views and information at key stages as council continues through the annual plan process.

Māori impact statement

15. Many local board decisions are of importance to and impact on Māori. Local board agreements and the annual plan are important tools that enable and can demonstrate council’s responsiveness to Māori. Local board plans, which were developed in 2014 through engagement with the community including Māori, form the basis of local priorities.There is a need to continue to build relationships between local boards and iwi, and where relevant the wider Māori community. Ongoing conversations will assist local boards and Māori to understand each other’s priorities and issues. This in turn can influence and encourage Māori participation in council’s decision-making processes.

Implementation

16. Feedback from the local boards will be summarised and provided in full to the Finance and Performance Committee and governing body for consideration and adopting the Annual Plan 2016/2017.

Annual Locally Driven Initiative budget negotiation for 2016/17

File No.: CP2016/05274

Purpose

This paper is to formalise the request for additional funding from the Governing Body for the Great Barrier Locally Driven Initiative Budget for 2016/17 as provided for in the Local Board Funding Policy adopted in August 2014.

Executive Summary

1. The Locally Driven Initiatives Budget for Great Barrier is based on historic legacy council budgets, which does not take into account the level and change of support now provided to Local Boards.

2. In 2015/16 the Community Development, Arts and Culture Department (now Arts, Community and Events) allocated overhead costs to Local Boards based on staff costs that related to delivery of local programmes.

3. With the introduction of the ‘Empowered Communities model” and resulting new roles, the overhead has been re-calculated for 2016/17. For Great Barrier, there has been an increase of $57,230, which represents 9.6% of the local board’s annual LDI Funding.

4. These costs should be treated in the same manner as the asset-based overhead costs as they relate to staff salaries for which the board has no discretion. Due to the LDI opex calculation including funding for community overheads this remain non-discretionary until such time as the funding policy allocation is re-visited as there is no additional funding identified in Year 2 of the LTP.

5. Given the significant impact this increase has on the level of LDI funding available to the Great Barrier Local Board for local initiatives, this paper advises the Great Barrier Local Board to exercise its right of negotiation and request an increase of $57,230 to the 2016/17 LDI Fund as part of the annual negotiation process.

Recommendation/s

That the Great Barrier Environment Committee:

a) requests additional Local Driven Initiative funding of $57,230 to offset the additional costs imposed under the empowered communities model overhead calculation on the basis that the board’s LDI funding is fixed and adversely impacted by this increase.

Central Facility Partnership Joint Advocacy Positions

File No.: CP2016/07153

Purpose

1. To seek agreement from each of the seven central Local Boards, who are members of the Central Facility Partnership Committee, to develop joint advocacy positions on the future re-instatement of the Central Facility Partnership Fund.

Executive Summary

2. In round figures, since 2010, the Central Facility Partnership Committee has allocated $10 million, which was leveraged to provide community projects to a total value of $45m. This community-led approach was consistent with the empowered communities’ philosophy. With the establishment of the $10M Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) Capex Fund as part of the 2015-2025 long-term plan the Central Facility Partnership Fund ceased

3. Following agreement by Waitemata, Orakei, Albert-Eden, Puketapapa, Maungakiekie-Tamaki, Waiheke and Great Barrier Local Boards it was agreed to re-establish the Central Facility Partnership Committee.

4. A key purpose of the re-established Central Facility Partnership Committee as outlined in the Terms of Reference is to provide governance and oversight of approved partnership projects and feasibility studies; and develop and articulate joint facility-based advocacy positions and programmes.

5. A report was considered by the Committee on the 14th March 2016, which provided the members with an update on what advocacy positions had been taken to date by each central local board and identified upcoming opportunities to establish and present joint advocacy positions.

6. It was considered that a consistent approach, across the seven central local boards would create a stronger advocacy position on the re-instatement of the Central Facility Partnership Fund.

7. The Committee agreed to develop joint advocacy positions that reflect the purpose and agreed terms of reference of the Committee and support the reinstatement of a similar fund. This wording could then be used by each local board to inform their advocacy discussions through the annual budget process.

8. In April 2016 input from local boards will be sought on a range of annual plan related matters, including advocacy positions. Local boards will then have an opportunity to agree any advocacy priorities for discussion with the Finance and Performance Committee on 6 and 9 May.

9. This report is seeking the local board to consider the inclusion of proposed joint advocacy positions as part of the board’s individual advocacy positions.

Recommendation/s

That the Great Barrier Environment Committee:

a) Note that since 2010, the Central Facilities Partnership Committee has allocated $10 million, which was leveraged to provide community projects with a total value of $45m. This community-led approach was consistent with the empowered communities’ philosophy.

b) Note that with the establishment of the $10M Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) Capex Fund as part of the 2015-2025 long-term plan the Central Facility Partnership Fund was ceased

c) Agree to include in the boards key advocacy issues the proposed joint advocacy positions:

i) Request the Governing Body to re-instate a sub-regional fund similar to the Central Facility Partnership Fund

ii) Requests the approval for the Central Facility Partnership Committee to undertake under its governance responsibilities the ability to re-invest funds, up to the value of current commitments, in the event of a current facility partnership commitment failing to crystallise

d) Agree to include as part of the Local Boards individual achievement reports the inclusion of the collective outcomes of the central Facilities Partnership Committee

Comments

10. Since 2010, the Central Facilities Partnership Committee has allocated $10 million, which was leveraged to provide community projects with a total value of $45 million. This community led approach is consistent with the empowered communities’ philosophy.

11. On 3 August 2015 members of the previous Central Facilities Partnership Committee held a workshop chaired by Waitematā Local Board and Committee Chair, Shale Chambers. Whilst the primary function of the Committee was agreed to be one of governance over existing approved projects and feasibility studies it was also recognised that a re-established Committee would provide a good vehicle for developing joint advocacy around community partnership issues and opportunities, which is reflected in the agreed Terms of Reference of the Committee.

12. Central boards represented at the workshop also held a collective view that the success of the fund, as evidenced by the ratio of Auckland Council’s contribution (approx. $10M) to the total value of the projects completed (approx. $45M) warranted advocacy around re-establishing the fund in the future.

13. In November 2015 all central Local Boards resolved and then a number discussed with the Finance and Performance Committee, as part of the annual plan discussions, selected advocacy positions.

14. A review of the advocacy positions taken by each central local board, which are related to the purpose of the Central Facilities Partnership Committee has been undertaken to provide an overview of what current advocacy positions have been made.

15. Three central local boards to date have included an advocacy position which requests the Governing Body to re-instate the Central Facilities Partnership Fund.

16. Two local boards included this advocacy position in their presentation to the Finance and Performance Committee in November 2015.

Local Board	Advocacy Position	Advocacy Description	Advocated to Finance & Performance Committee in November
Waitematā	Central Facilities Partnership Fund Re-instate the Central Facilities Partnership Fund	Since 2010 the Central Facilities Partnership Committee allocated $10 million which was leveraged to provide community projects with a total value of $45m. This community led approach is consistent with the empowered communities’ philosophy. With the establishment of the $10m Local Board Discretionary Capex Fund , the Central Facility Partnership Fund has now ceased	Yes
Orakei	Central Facilities Partnership Fund	Since 2010, the Central Facility Partnership Committee allocated $10 million which was leveraged to provide community projects with a total value of $45m. This community-led approach was consistent with the empowered communities’ philosophy.

The Board requests that a sub-regional fund similar to the Central Facility Partnership be reinstated.	No
Albert Eden	Central Facilities Partnership Fund Re-instate the Central Facilities Partnership Fund	Since 2010, the Central facilities Partnership Committee allocated $10 million which was leveraged to provide community projects with a total value of $45 million.

Maungakiekie-Tamaki	N/A	N/A	No
Waiheke	N/A	N/A	No
Great Barrier	N/A	N/A	No

17. There is now an opportunity to achieve a collective approach across the central local boards as part of the upcoming annual budget process.

18. The Committee agreed in March 2016 to develop and propose to the member local boards joint advocacy positions, which reflect the purpose and agreed terms of reference of the committee and supports the reinstatement of a similar fund as the Central Facility Partnership Fund.

a) Requests the re-instatement of a sub-regional fund similar to the Central Facility Partnership Fund

b) Requests approval for the Central Facility Partnership Committee to undertake under its governance responsibilities the ability to re-invest funds, up to the value of current commitments, in the event of a current Central Facility Partnership commitment failing to crystalise.

19. The committee also requested that Local Boards individually include within their individual achievement reports the collective outcomes that have been created as a result of the Central Facilities Partnership Committee as a way of highlighting the success to date of this ceased fund.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

20. Individually each central local board has agreed to the Terms of Reference for the re-established Central Facility Partnerships Committee.

21. The Terms of Reference states as a key purpose of the Committee is to develop and articulate joint facility-based advocacy positions and programmes

Māori impact statement

22. The Central Facilities Partnership scheme is a general programme that supports facilities which are accessible to a wide range of groups including Maori.

Implementation

23. As part of the annual plan process local boards will be considering and finalising their advocacy positions in April 2016.

24. Further discussions between local boards and the Finance and Performance Committee on advocacy maters will be undertaken on the 6^th and 9^th May 2016.

25. These meetings provide further opportunity to articulate any agreed joint advocacy positions at these times.
