Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board

20 April 2016

Auckland Transport Update - April 2017

File No.: CP2016/06526

Purpose

1. To provide an update about local transport matters, over the last month recording local board decisions, issues and advocacy.

Executive Summary

2. This report contains a general monthly update on transport matters both locally and from across Auckland and of issues currently being addressed by Auckland Transport (AT) for the Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board (MOLB). This includes responses to MOLB resolutions and decision-making.

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a) Receives Auckland Transport’s April 2016 monthly report.

b) Endorses the board’s submission to the Transport Future Urban Growth Project on 21 March 2016, noting that it was circulated to all members and opportunity provided for comment before it was submitted (Attachment A).

Comments

Mangere Town Centre Bus Station

3. One of MOLB’s advocacy initiatives is for the local board area to have “a great public transport network that is easy to get to, frequent and reliable”. AT is supporting the MOLB’s initiative and the Mangere Bus Station is funded. The objective is to build a new Mangere Bus Station by the town centre before October 2016.

4. Planning has started and AT met with the MOLB’s transport representative on 17 March 2016 to discuss both the proposed plans and how the project will be discussed with the wider community aiming to confirm plans.

5. The Mangere Town Centre Bus Station will be a key hub for South Auckland’s New Public Transport Network, particularly for Rapid Network 32 (RN or Route 32) that is being built as part of the East-West project.

6. This route is shown in the picture below. Both Route 32 and Route 31 will have buses at least every 15 minutes between 7 am and 7pm. More buses will be on these routes at peak times.

7. The other bus routes using the town centre will have buses at least every 30 minutes between 7 am and 7pm. More buses will be on these routes at peak times. It is obvious the linkage from Mangere to Otahuhu and Papatoetoe train stations will be considerably improved by this facility and the new bus routes.

Figure 1: Bus Routes Servicing Mangere Town Centre

South Auckland Public Transport New Network Update

8. Auckland Transport continues to support the MOLB’s advocacy initiative that is to have “a great public transport network that is easy to get to, frequent and reliable” by progressing another of the projects needed to facilitate operation of the New Network.

9. Last month, it was reported that the new Manukau Bus Station had started. This $26M project will contribute directly to supporting the MOLB’s advocacy.

10. Manukau Metro Centre is a key shopping and business area that many people in the MOLB area will need to commute to for work, education or to access services. With improved access by bus to Otahuhu and Papatoetoe trains stations people in the MOLB area will find it much easier to get to Manukau.

11. The new station also provides the terminal required in the New Network plan for buses to run from Manukau to Papakura at least every 15 minutes from 7am – 7pm every day.

12. The photo below shows the site and demonstrates how quickly work is progressing.

Figure 2: Manukau Bus Station Site

Informing Local Board’s about Managing Growth – Transport Future Urban Growth (TFUG) Project

13. AT, Auckland Council and utility providers are discussing the issue of growth with local boards in high growth areas in the north and south of Auckland. Although the MOLB is outside the study area all information and opportunities to participate have been circulated to members.

14. The TFUG project team leader met with the full MOLB on 9 March 2016.

15. The MOLB made a written submission to the TFUG project team on 21 March 2016. This submission is included at Attachment A.

16. AT wanted to make sure that all local boards knew about the project before public consultation started on 15 April 2016. There will be four weeks of consultation and people will have until 13 May 2016 to provide feedback.

Future Streets

17. The Future Streets project is the MOLB’s largest Local Board Transport Capital Fund project and involves re-modelling a number of streets in Mangere to make them safer and friendlier for pedestrians and cyclists. The aim being to make the area safer and encouraging active modes of transport.

18. The project continues to move forward and aspects of the build are being confirmed.

19. A summary of key activities in March:

· Pre-start meetings have been held for the Waddon/Mascot work;

· Work started in this area in late-March and with lighting, work in the parks and the Waddon/Mascot shared path all commencing;

· Details of closing Windrush Close, art features, works on Friesian Road and the crossings on Massey Road are all being finalised.

Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF):

20. In this electoral term the MOLB has identified a number of projects in the local board area and has authorised expenditure of LBTCF to deliver them. This section of the report provides an update on progress.

21. Recently, Auckland Transport has reviewed reporting of the LBTCF and standardised its approach across all local boards. The aim is to make reporting more consistent and accurate.

22. Since August 2012 the MOLB has been allocated $ 517,754 per annum of CAPEX that can be allocated to transport projects. This means that the MOLB can use five annual allocations of LBTCF a total pool of $ 2,588,770 between August 2012, when the LBTCF was started, and October 2016, the end of the current electoral term.

23. The MOLB must spend four years’ worth of its LBTCF before the end of this electoral term, that is, $2,071,016.

24. Currently, $827,250 has been spent and the MOLB has committed to spending another $1,699,366 before the end of this financial term. This figure takes into account variations in the cost of projects and means that the MOLB currently has $62,154 that is available for allocation. This amount provides a contingency fund for projects, and if not spent will be able to be used next term.

25. In this electoral term the MOLB identified six projects and these are discussed in detail in Attachment B.

Figure 3: LBTCF Summary

MOLB Consultations:

26. Auckland Transport provides the MOLB with the opportunity to comment on transport projects being delivered in this local board area.

27. In this reporting period one project was circulated for comment by the MOLB.

28. Attachment C provides a summary of the project and of the responses made by the transport portfolio leaders.

Summary of Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board Transport Capital Fund Projects

2013-16 Electoral Term

Projects Submitted	Description	Current Status
Mangere –East Town Centre Traffic Calming	The aim of this project is to improve ease of access to the Mangere-East Town Centre for people on foot.	Project completed
Waddon-Windrush Walk/Cycleway	The walkway is narrow, poorly lit and has become a high crime area and widening the walkway is seen as a solution that will make the area safer with regards to crime. The Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board has decided to use its Local Board Transport Capital Fund to deliver the project.	Resource consent was issued in February 2016 and it is still planned that this project will start in March 2016.
Future Streets Walking and Cycling Circuit Windrush-Mascot	Constructing an iconic fitness route that runs from Windrush Close to Mascot Road.	Delivery of this project as part of the wider ‘Future Streets’ programme started on 16 November 2015 and some work has already be completed including: · Footpath upgrade in Windrush Close; · Lighting in Pershore Park. Resource consent for this project was granted in February 2016 and work is planned to start on the major parts of this project in March 2016.
Future Streets Walking and Cycling Route Mascot Road	Constructing a walking and cycling route that runs along Mascot Road from its intersection with Windrush Close to Waddon Road. It includes significant work on Mascot Road to improve walking and cycling and pedestrian safety on Mascot Road. Proposed modifications include: · Better crossings linking the Wananga with the town centre; · Protected on road cycle lanes; and · Intersections designed to slow traffic and make them safer for pedestrians and cyclists.	Delivery of this project as part of the wider ‘Future Streets’ programme started on 16 November 2015. This project is progressing well and technical aspects are being resolved ready for construction. Resource consent for this project was granted in February 2016 and work is planned to start on the major parts of this project in March 2016.
Station Rd (from Mason Ave to Great Sth Rd)	The overall aim is to upgrade this section of Station Road in accordance with urban design recommendations from the Otahuhu Linkages & Public Realm Initiative and to make it fit with work that is currently funded on the road. This would include mproved footpaths with modern attractive street furniture, and there is the opportunity to provide cycle lanes as well. The reconfiguration will link with other work that is planned on Station Road and will improve the carriageway and general traffic management.	This project has been investigated and was not supported by the Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board.
Mason Ave / Station Rd Carpark – Pedestrian Link	Develop a footpath link from Mason Ave and Station Rd through the car park This will provide better access and a natural pathway from Station Road to the the Mason Ave pedestrian crossing and the new upgraded recreatiosn centre. The proposal also include high standards of lighting, lots of decorative planting and other landscape improvements. Another key feature will be signage directing people using the walkway to areas of interest like the recreations centre and bus stops.	This project is complete.

4. Te Akitai Waiohua supported the name Te Kapua.

5. The suffix “Drive” was considered appropriate.

6. The name “Te Kapua Drive”, proposed by the Applicant and the names “Sir Keith Park Avenue” and “Waenui Drive” are considered for approval by the Local Board.

The cloud has two meanings, one of historical significance and one of present day significance. · Historical – linked to the name for New Zealand being “long white cloud” · Present Day – The unnamed road is informally referred to as “the cloud”. This is partially because the existing road, Landing Drive (connector road to the unnamed road) acts as the runway which facilitates take-off to fly into the clouds
First Alternative	Sir Keith Park Avenue	Air Chief Marshall Sir Keith Rodney Park GCB, KBE, MC & Bar, DFC was a New Zealand soldier, First World War Flying ace, and Second World War Royal Air Force commander. He was in tactical command for two major victories being the Battle of Britain and Battle of Malta. On his return to New Zealand, Sir Keith took up a number of civic roles , including as an Auckland City Councillor. Sir Keith died in 1975.
Second Alternative	Waenui Drive	Waenui is an extension of Manu Tapu Drive, which is off George Bolt Drive. Manutapuwaenui is the full version of a traditional whanau family name for one of the local iwi groups

Executive Summary

3. Following assessment against the road naming criteria, the road name ‘Te Tiki Road’ (applicant’s preferred road name) was determined to meet the road naming guideline criteria. It is noted that the Applicant’s alternate name, ‘Lindsay Road’, does not meet the road naming criteria.

4. Te Kawerau Iwi was consulted and the name ‘Te Tiki Road’ was recommended by Te Warena Taua. In addition, Council consulted with all the relevant iwi groups and have had no objections to the names at the time of writing this report.

Comments

7. The road to be named is a straight, 0.986ha access road off Ihumatao Road, with a width of 19.8m. This subdivision was established via resource consent 45871.

Preference

Proposed New Road Name

Meaning

Preferred Name

Te Tiki Road

The word “Te Tiki” often refers to a carved figure representing an ancestor of a local people and sometimes an abstract human form carved in stone or some other medium.

First Alternative

Accordingly, ‘Lindsay’ is associated with the large plastic goods factory that is currently being established within the subdivision.

Figure One: Location and Layout of new Road

Decision Making

Assessment

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

11. The proposed suffix of “Road” is appropriate in this circumstance, as the road is an open roadway primarily for vehicles. The applicant’s preference was “Way”, however, this is defined as a short enclosed roadway, generally referring to a more residential context. Therefore “Road” is deemed more appropriate.

12. The Applicant’s preferred name ‘Te Tiki Road’ is recommended for consideration for approval as it complies with all the criteria of the road naming guidelines.

Comments

Locally Driven Initiatives (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 2016.

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.

Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board

20 April 2016

Initiative	Why is it a priority?
Recognising the prominence and significance of the Manukau Harbour and allocate funding for the implementation of a hydrodynamic modelling study.	The Manukau harbour treaty claim will be addressed in the next 2-5 years. Information as a result of the hydrodynamic modelling study may help inform the outcomes between Mana Whenua, the Crown and stakeholders. As a member of the Manukau Harbour Forum the board recognises the importance of developing a strategy and implementing a plan to protect and manage impacts of development over the Manukau Harbour. The Manukau Harbour Forum has identified Hydrodynamic Modelling as a key regional project to better understand the impact of historical development on the harbour. This is critical to understand the ‘current state’ of the harbour as a starting point for development of a plan to manage activities in and around the Manukau harbour.
Developing the ‘heavy rail’ option for CBD to Airport rapid transit project (was known as Auckland Transport’s SMART project)	The current preference for light rail primarily focussed on the central Auckland to Māngere fails to consider the implications of the major future growth areas far South, North and West. Further assessment is required to consider the impacts of recent Unitary Plan decisions and the Transport Future Urban Growth projections. The Airport to CBD rapid transit project has long term strategic importance for Auckland’s future commuter and freight industry. Recent Unitary Plan decisions to limit infill housing (intensification) in central areas of Auckland will result in less demand for public transport in those areas where currently public transport is significantly better than other parts of Auckland. Recent modelling from Auckland Transport to the local board related to the public transport needs for the new growth areas (120,000 people in the south only) require a ‘northern busway’ type expressway to supplement the current public transport options planned. Auckland's strategic long term transport security for both commuter and heavy freight industry will not be served by the current plans for light rail. Our local board supports a heavy rail link to the airport and onto Puhinui connecting to the main southern trunk line This includes a southern spur from Manukau to the south. The local board request further investigation into the heavy rail option.
The development of an Auckland Gateway Programme	Auckland International Airport Limited is planning to be a major hub connecting Asia and South America over the next 30 years. Their expansion plans include a second runway and are estimated to cost $2.4 billion. The airport is the New Zealands gateway to the world. Council may miss an opportunity to leverage significant economic and community outcomes if we aren’t aligned. AIAL has an objective being ‘being a destination in its own right’. Council through ATEED have an opportunity the leverage off the airport initiatives to grow a regional cultural and heritage tourism initiative. This would support the airports aspirations but also our local communities through more jobs through growth in a new industry, support for development of Maori tourism programme as well as heritage tourism initiatives – such as “Ōtāhuhu Portage Crossing” project – narrowest part of Nth Is. The board request is that Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) to prioritise the 'Gateway Project' to establish and grow Auckland's cultural and heritage tourism industry.
Development of the Māngere East Multi-use Community Centre through funding of the Community Facilities Network Plan	The local community facilities at Māngere East are a multitude of old or repurposed facilitates which are not fit for purpose. A community led development by a number of local community and sporting groups is underway to develop a new community facility is underway. This project has been identified in the Community Facilities Network Plan as a priority. Officers are currently working to support the group through development of a major capital project in partnership with council. The local board requests that the governing body commit to capital funding through the next review of the Long Term Plan for delivery of the Community Facilities Network Plan.
Additional support/ funding for a Southern Resource Recovery Network – Community enterprise	The local board notes the regional scoping exercise being delivered to investigate the siting of the various regional resource recovery centres. It is also recognised that a key to operations of the resource recovery network is that it is supported by local community recycling centres, as noted in the long term plan. Local community led initiatives are underway to develop local community recycling centres but are concerned with the scarcity of land and the rising costs which may make a local recycling centre unfeasible. Therefore the local board would request that governing body commission research to undertake an investigation into potential surplus land being allocated to community groups to develop local recycling centres.
Alcohol harm minimisation – Ongoing monitoring of the impact of Alcohol in the Auckland region	The sale and supply of alcohol act came into effect in late 2013. In three years, progress finalise a Local Alcohol Plan, a key instrument for addressing the negative impacts of alcohol on our communities, has had limited progress. Due to the unique challenges faced by our communities we have spent the past two years actively supporting our local communities to have their say through the hearings processes afforded them by the recent legislation. Significant lessons have been learnt along the way which include but not limited to: - Imbalance of information for applicants vs. objectors provided by council. - hostile District Licensing Committee (DLC) hearings process and lack of knowledge of local issues - inaccessible language used by DLC - a lack of consistency in decisions across the region - limited integration to address signage inconsistencies between by-laws, district plans and through DLC decisions To ensure that these issues are identified and addressed it is critical to assess the overall success of the legislation in achieving its intent. Key failings of the legislation should be considered by council for a legislative change. Therefore the local board request that a framework is developed to monitor the implementation of the sale and supply Act legislation in practice and be considered for a request to government for legislative change.
The proliferation and lack of monitoring of living standards in Boarding Houses	Over the past few years our local board area has seen a significant growth in the number of boarding houses being established. A current ‘test case’ by council officers informed by NZ Police have identified 31 boarding houses in Ōtāhuhu alone. There are no figures local board wide. This increase has been accompanied by significant issues with breaches of the building code which impact on living standards within boarding houses. The rising cost of housing may see demand rise for this type of accommodation. This may have significant impacts in residential zones where homes can be converted into boarding houses with little council control or understanding of the environmental impacts - traffic, noise, “intensification by stealth”. Currently, council has limited means to assess or address the impacts of the proliferation of boarding houses. Therefore the local board request that governing body consider initiating a ‘test case’ in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local board area to monitor the proliferation and ensure building code standards and a decent standard of living is maintained in all boarding houses.

2. The purpose of this report is to inform the local board of the views of their local community on the annual proposals. This will build on the board’s understanding of community priorities and preferences as established in the development of the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Plan 2014.

3. The feedback received will inform the board’s decisions on allocation of their local budgets in their local board agreement for 2016/2017. It will also inform the board’s discussions with the Finance and Performance Committee on 6 and 9 May on advocacy and local priorities in relation to the regional budgets and proposals.

Executive Summary

4. Out of the 3321 submissions received on the Annual Budget 2016/2017, 45 were submissions from people living in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local board area or concerning local proposals.

Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local proposals consulted on for 2016/2017

5. The consultation sought public feedback on the following local proposals:

· Develop priority greenways, or safe networks of cycleways and walkways.

· Fund a signature arts and cultural event ($60k).

· Waste reduction education and awareness ($20k).

· Support local environmental initiatives ($130k).

· Mangrove removal from the Māngere Inlet ($160k).

· Replant coastal habitats and esplanade areas ($20k).

· Complete a heritage study for our area.

· Events in local parks ($50k).

6. Overall feedback is in support of the local proposals.

Regional proposals consulted on for 2016/2017

Fixed charge (Uniform Annual general Charge or UAGC)

7. Overall the feedback shows that people prefer the UAGC to remain the same or be lowered. Feedback indicates many people preferring to keep UAGC low, at a level of $350, or less than $397.

Interim Transport Levy (ITL)

8. More number of submission points are in favour of keeping the transport levy to be the same level. Further, feedback is in favour of businesses to pay more. However one business association was opposed to the idea for business to pay for the levy. Reasons cited were that businesses are heavy road users, and they can avail of tax deduction, gain a lot from improvements to transport and pass the cost on to customers. A number of comments show support for the idea of transport levy that is based on property value.

Farm and lifestyle rates

9. Most submitters were in favour of keeping farm and lifestyle rates at 80%. An example of comment received:

“Depends on what services are available to the property. eg rubbish collection, bus service. Some should pay 100% any others less.”

Māori land rates

10. Views on reducing Maori land rates were somewhat divided among those who responded to this question. There were a few more submitters who favour reducing the rate (13) as against those not in favour of reducing Maori land rates (11).

“Land is land no matter who owns it. If maori land is jointly owned it is up to the owners to sort it out. When sold they still are getting market price so they should also expect to pay market rates.”

Other feedback (on any other proposals and/or other local issues)

11. A few single comments were on topics such as the following:

- continue work on improving walkways and cycleways

- reduce support for community based grants – more on infrastructure and environment

- better communication with residents association

- more books in library

Context

12. This report is being provided to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board summarising the local consultation feedback received on the annual budget. Council received feedback in person at community engagement events and through written forms (including those submitted online).

13. Feedback on Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board local proposals and on regional proposals from the board area was received through:

· Written feedback – 45 feedback forms (Our Auckland forms, emails and online)

· In person – Feedback was received through one Have your say event held in the Ōtāhuhu Town Hall on 10March 2016 and 108 pieces of feedback points collected from 25 participants in the event.

Feedback received on the local proposals

14. Of the total 45 submissions most were via postal form as shown in the graph below. Most submissions were from individuals and in addition there was one Business Association and one Residents and Ratepayers association who put in submissions.

15. The age and ethnic profile of submitters is shown in the graphs below. Most responents were above 64 years of age and identified as European. Of the 25 who indicated their gender, 11 were male and 15 were female.

Age:

Ethnicity:

16. Overall the feedback from consultation is in support of local priorities (32% support and 40%partially support). There is no evidence of distinct themes in the feedback. However, environment appears to be a topic on which there are the most number of feedback points. This includes topics such as ‘Greenways’, re-planting and restoring coastal areas, removing mangroves around Māngere inlet, waste reduction, walkways and as there are a small number of points made for particular topics. This is followed by interest in safety in town centres and community facilities.

17. A summary of the feedback received through each channel is provided below.

Written feedback received

18. The table and graph below is the feedback on local proposals:

Local priority proposals	Support	Do not support	Unsure

Heritage study	3	3	3

Arts and cultural event	4	2	4

Community facilities improvement	7	1	1
Events in local parks	5	1	3

19. A few comments to illustrate the feedback are:

“A safe networks of cycleways and walkways sounds great, particulrly connecting East Otahuhu to the train station and development of a north south corridor/cycleway like on the western motorway would be good.”

“Less support for community based grants. Council should be supporting environment and infrastructure.”

“Board should continue to fund Mangroves but use the funding more wisely.”

Feedback received through Have your say events

20. One Have your say event was held in the local board area, attended by about 25 people and 108 points of feedback were collected.

21. Key themes:

- People gave comments in support of ‘greenways’, safe walkways through projects like ‘Future Streets’, and need for more planting.

- ‘Community services’ was an area on which participants gave comments. Three were on giving more support to youth and one on the need not to forget the elderly. There was a view that community facilities are not well utilized and also that the board must retain community spaces.

- Maintenance and upkeep of parks was another topic of interest; this was followed by dissatisfaction with the inorganic collection was a topic on which people made comments. Feedback noted that communication on the inorganic collection was poor and of concern, though they were happy with the change.

- Two comments were about need for more support for heritage, and also heritage protection was causing some difficulty for a church in Ōtāhuhu.

- Two comments in support of CCTV cameras, one in particular for Māngere Bridge. There is one comment also about security around Mason Avenue, Ōtāhuhu.

- A few comments were on the area of ‘governance’. These noted support for the local board work with “minor tweaks”; that there be more effort on communication and engagement; and that the board needs to advocate more for social services to be made available locally.

- There was one comment that was not in favour of the housing development in Ōtāhuhu.

- Feedback on the UAGC, the ITL, Farm/ lifestyle property rates and Maori land rates indicate a similar position on the topics as received through written submissions. Comments noted that there was not much farm land left in Māngere and the need to encourage more home-growing.

Overview of feedback received on regional proposals from Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local board area

22. The consultation on the proposed annual budget focused on four key issues, Uniform Annual General Charge, Interim Transport Levy, Rural rates and Maori Freehold Land rates. The written feedback received from the area on these key consultation topics is summarised below, along with an overview of any other areas of feedback on regional proposals with a local impact.

Uniform Annual General Charge (UAGC)

23. Auckland’s residents and ratepayers were asked if the UAGC should be kept at $397 so that rates are spread differently between high and low value properties, and should it be changed to $350, $450, $550 or $650.

24. Most respondents from Māngere-Ōtāhuhu preferred to keep UAGC low, at a level of $350, or less than $397. Reasons cited were to reduce the burden on low income families and also senior aged residents; that UAGC should be minimal, that most rating should be from variable charges and further such a rate is a burden on senior aged residents.

25. A few comments (5) were in support of charges to be $550 or more.

26. The graphs below give an overview of the responses from the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local board area.

Question 1a: What is your opinion on the fixed charge portion of the rates (UAGC)?

Question 1 b: If changed, what should the fixed charge be?

27. A few comments that illustrate the trend of responses, for example,

“The UAGC should be minimal, most rating should come from variable rates”

“All landowners living in good areas like Mangere Bridge are not necessary rich. I am a pensioner living on just super. I am being forced out of our home at 40 years by the rates which have been increasing every year.”

Interim Transport Levy (ITL)

28. People were asked if businesses should pay more than they currently do toward the ITL (meaning other ratepayers pay less) and should the levy continue to be a fixed charge for businesses or be based on the size of the business (meaning small businesses pay less than large ones).

29. The graphs below give an overview of the responses from the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local board area.

Question 2a: What is your opinion on the ITL amount paid by businesses versus the amount paid by all other ratepayers?

30. A majority of respondents in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu favoured businesses paying more on the ITL.

31. A couple of comments were as follows:

“Please make the people who use the transport pay instead of saddling onto the ratepayer.”

“Business should be surveyed rather than asking residents.”

Question 2b: What is your opinion on the amount businesses pay in relation to their property value?

32. As shown in the graph above, most submitters were of the view (17) that the levy should be based on property value, and one respondent was unsure.

33. Comments received were:

“I strongly support capital value rating for this targeted levy.”

“Better location, better local government facilities the more profit they make!”

“A huge store in Queen Street will value more better transport than a small dairy in Papatoetoe.”

Farm and Lifestyle rates

34. Auckland’s residents and ratepayers were asked to provide their thoughts on the rates paid by farm/lifestyle properties (over 50 hectares) reducing to 60 per cent from 80 per cent of the urban residential rate (meaning all other ratepayers pay less).

35. The graphs below give an overview of the responses from the local board area.

Question 3: What is your opinion on the rates paid by farm/lifestyle properties over 50 hectares?

36. Of the 29 submissions on this question, most (17) were in favour of keeping farm and lifestyle rates at 80%. A few (7) said that the rates be reduced.

37. Example of a comment received are as follows:

“80% looks fair”

“Depends on what services are available to the property. eg rubbish collection, bus service. Some should pay 100% any others less.”

Māori Freehold Land rates

38. People were asked if they supported reducing rates for some Māori land to reflect restrictions on its use.

39. The graph below gives an overview of the responses from the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local board area.

Question 4: What is your opinion on reducing the rates collected from Māori land to reflect restrictions on its use?

40. Views on reducing Maori land rates or not were somewhat divided among those who responded to this question. There were a few more submitters in favour of reducing as against those not in favour of reducing Maori land rates. Examples of comments are given below:

“We need to give them time to catch up with others economically. They are victims of past negligence of colonial govts.”

Feedback on other regional proposals with a local impact

41. Transport is a topic on which there were 12 submission points and these emphasized need for improvements:

- for the board to continue advocating on transport needs for the area,

- reducing congestion

- traffic controls and slowing down vehicals, better access for disabled

- extending buses to Manukau Super Clinic

- transport and parking extension in Māngere Bridge

- seeking information on what is to happen to the old bus station in Ōtāhuhu

42. Single comments came on a few other topics relating to regional decisions. One submission comment related to development in Auckland and these were to do with inadequacy of council to provide services for low cost housing. Further that Development fees is too high, that Mangere is under developed except for effort of the Auckland Airport.

43. In relation to environmental management one submitter said there should be “more funding for rubbish collection”. It is possible that the reference is to inorganic collection, noting the recent changes in waste management and issues of illegal dumping in the local board area.

44. One submission supported the board’s advocacy for reducing alcohol and premises that sell liquor.

Feedback on other local topics

45. Currently there are targeted rates in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board and also in Otara-Papatoetoe, for free entry for all adults to swimming local pools. There were three submissions that are not in favour of such rates in the the two local board areas that have such a rate. One view expressed is that such a charge should be across all board areas and another comment questioned the rationale for the charge.

2. The Governing Body at their 26 February 2015 meeting passed resolutions to clarify the decision-making for Mangere Mountain (Attachment A).

3. The Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority (Maunga Authority) undertakes the governance and administration of the Tūpuna Maunga. The statutory co-governance authority has equal representation from Ngā Mana Whenua and Auckland Council.

4. The Maunga Authority consulted with the public on its draft Operational Plan 2016/2017 in conjunction with Auckland Council’s draft Annual Plan 2016/2017.

5. The operational plan is an annual agreement between the Maunga Authority and council. It gives detail on day-to-day management and maintenance under the direction of the Maunga Authority, provides for clear and collaborative decision-making and defines a work programme in the region and for each Tūpuna Maunga.

6. Māngere Mountain is situated in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local board area. The local board has governance oversight of parcels of adjacent land, parks and reserves as outlined in Attachment A.

7. The board’s feedback on the draft Operational Plan is Attachment B. This draft operational plan feedback references Māngere Mountain alcohol bans (Attachment C).

8. Following the return of 14 Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountains) to Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau (the 13 mana whenua tribes of Auckland) in 2014, the Tūpuna Maunga Authority has prepared a proposed Integrated Management Plan (IMP) to set the direction for their future restoration, protection and enhancement. The plan can be found on the Auckland Council website:

http://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/EN/AboutCouncil/representativesbodies/maungaauthority/Pages/tupunamaunga.aspx

9. Local board Chairs received the proposed IMP and briefings were held for clusters of local boards in March 2016. In addition, the local board held further workshop sessions with officers to consider the IMP and develop feedback.

10. The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board feedback on the proposed Integrated Management Plan (Attachment D) is to be provided to the Maunga Authority by 29 April 2016.

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a) Endorses feedback on the draft Operational Plan 2016/17 of the Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority (Attachment B).

b) Endorses feedback on the proposed Integrated Management Plan of the Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority(Attachment D).

Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board

20 April 2016

Impact Assessment Region-wide Swimming Pool Pricing Policy 2013-2105

File No.: CP2016/06515

Purpose

1. This report introduces a report on the regional impacts of swimming pool pricing and highlights points of particular interest to Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board.

Executive Summary

2. The Finance and Performance Committee received a report, "Impact Assessment of the Region-wide Swimming Pool Pricing Policy" on 17 March 2016.

3. The Committee circulated the report to all local boards for their information and to inform the 2017/18 Annual Plan Process. The covering report to the committee is Attachment A, and the detailed Impact Assessment is Attachment B. Some detail about pools in other local board areas has not been reprinted in this agenda. The full report is available at:

http://infocouncil.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/Open/2016/03/FIN_20160317_ATT_6101_EXCLUDED.PDF

4. The report summarises the impact of the region-wide swimming pool pricing policy introduced by council in 2013. In many parts of Auckland, the main change was that pool entry became free for children. In the former Manukau City, the main change was that adults had to pay to enter pools that were previously free for all.

5. In 2013, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara-Papatoetoe local boards responded to the new regional policy with a local policy to maintain free entry to local pools for adults. Targeted rates were introduced to pay the cost of this.

6. The report to the committee is the first analysis available of the impacts of the pool pricing policy. This impact assessment is of relevance to the board as it provides insight into the results of the local policy to continue free pool entry. The report contains overall analysis, and also presents separate sections of data for each pool.

7. The report summarises the effect of the targeted rate:

· The introduction of user charges for adults at some council-owned swimming pools has been a barrier to participation of both children and adults. Whereas pools situated in local board areas that introduced a targeted rate to maintain free access for adults have maintained relatively constant participation levels” (Page 5, para 32)

· “The introduction of a local targeted rate to retain free access at three swimming pools has had a mixed impact with some changes to user profile and behaviour. However, it appears weather plays a significant role in driving visits and user behaviour at these facilities. There is very little evidence to indicate a large shift in users from charged pools to free pools.” (Attachment A, para 23)

8. This cautious wording seems to understate some positives. Board members will be pleased to note that there has not been a large shift in users from charged pools to free pools. This was a possible problem forecast by submitters during engagement on the local free pools policy in 2013.

9. The statement that the targeted rate has had a mixed impact seems to overlook the pool attendance figures given in the individual pool sections in the report. Attendances suggest that the local board free pools policy, which the targeted rate supports, has been relatively successful.

10. Attendances at the Ōtara, Papatoetoe and Māngere pools (free for all) have generally maintained. This contrasts with Lloyd Elsmore Park Pool (Pakuranga) and Manurewa Pool, which began charging $3.10 for adult entry in 2013 (previously free.)

11. The report records attendance results for these pools:

a. Ōtara: the pricing policy has had little impact on the Ōtara Pool.

b. Papatoetoe: Visits initially decreased but have started to recover, particularly for adults. Overall, the pool has retained the majority of its users

c. Māngere (Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa): Very little change from the pricing policy

d. Lloyd Elsmore: 20% reduction in visits to the facility by both adults and children.

e. Manurewa: significant negative impact, with 60% fewer visits.

12. The comparison with Lloyd Elsmore and Manurewa pools leads to the conclusion that attendances at Māngere, Ōtara and Papatoetoe pools were helped significantly by the local boards’ policy to retain free pool entry for all. More people swam at these pools during the period than otherwise would have been the case, and the local policy can therefore be said to have achieved its aims.

13. The data analysed in the report stops in March 2015. No insight is given into more recent attendance figures. Further, data from the new Tōia swimming pool facility in Ōtāhuhu is not shown in this report. Nor does the report explain the initial drop of attendance at in Moana- nui-ā-kiwa and Papatoetoe beyond a reference to weather effects. An annual update report would be valuable in future.

14. Beyond the attendance figures, the report mentions some changes in the age and demographic profile of attendees, but does not provide explanations for these. There is a need for a more detailed report to identify the reasons for these changes more clearly, and to develop ways of increasing pool attendance in future.

15. There is also a need for more analysis of the financial results of the policy. The report states (Attachment B, para 14):

“The financial cost to deliver the policy in 2013/14 was better than anticipated. The net result was a total surplus of $635,709 compared to budget of $479,695. An improvement of $156,013 due to operational changes put in place by the business to offset potential losses.”

16. The surplus referred to is a regional surplus across the Auckland pools network. No breakdown is given about the individual financial performance of pools. It would be of interest to the board to know whether its local pools are running at a loss or surplus, and the share of revenue made up by the targeted rate. At present, the targeted rate for pools is calculated annually to replace the projected revenue lost by allowing free adult entry, and it would be of interest to compare the revenue projections with the outcomes.

17. It is recommended that the board request further analysis of the points mentioned.

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a) Note that the local pools policy, allowing adult entry without charge, has been successful in maintaining pool attendances in the local board area.

b) Request the Community & Social Policy unit to report further to the board with:

i. An annual update of the analysis of the impacts of swimming pool pricing, with inclusion of data from the new pool at Tōia, Ōtāhuhu.

ii. Analysis of the reasons for the initial drop of attendance at Moana-nui-ā-kiwa pool beyond a reference to weather effects, including consideration of the promotion effort to make the public aware of the local free pools policy.

iii. Further explanation of the changes in the age and demographic profile of attendees.

iv. Options to further increase pool attendance.

v. Analysis of the financial results obtained by each local pool, including the share of revenue made up by the targeted rate.

vi. A comparison of the targeted rate revenue with the revenue lost due to free adult entry, based on actual attendance figures, and options for any improvements.

Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board

Grant for Local Community Capacity Building Initiative - Vaka Manu’kau Niue Community Trust

File No.: CP2016/06873

Purpose

1. To seek approval for funding for the Vaka Manu’kau Niue Community Trust for a local social enterprise initiative.

Executive Summary

2. The local board determined a budget of $20,000 in the 2015/16 financial year of the Long Term Plan for delivery of a ‘capacity building programme’.

3. The community group – Vaka Manu’kau Niue Community Trust - has initiated a Māori and Pasifika arts and culture focussed market based at the Massey Homestead in Māngere East. The monthly market is being promoted and developed as a local tourism attraction.

4. The planned activities of the trust include the development of a social enterprise through the purchase and operation of a mobile café. Funds from the operation will be used for the delivery of various community programmes which cater to’ youth, older people and job seekers.

5. The group has secured a vehicle and is currently seeking funding support of $10,000 from the local board for the purchase and installation of a coffee machine into the trust’s mobile café.

6. This report recommends that $10,000 is allocated to the Vaka Manu’kau Niue Community Trust as capacity building support of the community group for their social enterprise.

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a) Approve a grant payment of $10,000 from its capacity building programme budget to Vaka Manu’kau Niue Community Trust for the purchase and installation of a coffee machine to support the trust’s social enterprise initiative.

b) Requests that council’s Community Grants operations unit facilitate payment of the grant and a funding agreement with the Vaka Manu’kau Niue Community Trust.

c) Requires Vaka Manu’kau Niue Community Trust to report back to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board on the progress and outcomes of the project by March 2017.

Comments

7. Delivery of local board plan outcomes is a priority for the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board. The outcomes and the priorities were based on discussions and prioritisation undertaken by the local board through the development of the local board plan 2014 and prioritised through the long term plan process in mid-2015. Funding of $20,000 for a community ‘capacity building programme’ was approved by the board for 2015/16.

8. Capacity building programmes were included as part of the 2015/16 local board work programmes to be delivered by the council’s Community Development, Arts and Culture department.

9. Due to a restructure of the Community Development, Arts and Culture department in the latter part of 2015 and subsequent delays to enable a recruitment process, planning and delivery of the approved work programme has been limited. Staffing for the newly formed Community Empowerment Unit was only completed in late 2015.

10. In late 2015 council staff were made aware of a community group – Vaka Manu’kau Niue Community Trust - and it’s work developing and growing a market showcasing pacific arts, culture and cuisine. The group and the market are based at Massey Homestead in Māngere East. The trust was granted a community tenancy for the Massey Homestead at 337 Massey Road, Māngere East in November 2014.

11. Vaka Manu’kau Niue Community Trust (the trust) is a locally based community group established in 2002 with the purpose of providing health and youth programmes, establishment of a Niuean community centre and tourism through the promotion of traditional pacific arts and culture.

12. Discussions between the trust and officers noted their plans to expand the current arts market operation of which four ‘market days’ offered monthly have been held. Officers from council’s community empowerment unit have identified the work being undertaken by the trust as aligned with the local board plan outcomes: “Māngere-Ōtāhuhu is the heart of Maori and Pasifika arts and culture” and “A place where communities thrive and belong”.

13. To assist the group, officers identified a number opportunities for capacity building support that could be offered to the trust to develop their work.

14. Advice obtained from the local community Arts Brokers has confirmed that they are able to support the artists in development of programmes delivered by the trust as capacity building support.

15. Officers from Auckland Tourism and Events (ATEED) have been engaged and may also support the trust to engage with local stall holders to assist with their development into sustainable business entities.

16. Future plans to grow the market include increasing the number of stall holders to include the various ethnic communities to promote their arts and culture at the monthly market. A specialist advisor from the empowerment unit will assist with this engagement.

17. Future plans for the group include setting up mobile café to be used for local events to promote the work of the trust and its social enterprise and provide people with an opportunity to sample products from the Pacific region. All profits from the café will be used by the trust for the delivery of their community programmes.

18. This aligns with one of the trust’s aims which is the promotion and marketing of authentic products from the Pacific region. To this end, the trust has purchased a vehicle for $5,000 to be modified for use as a mobile café.

19. To complete the conversion of the vehicle to a mobile café, funding for a coffee machine and installation is being sought from the local board. Costs for the work to be completed have been quoted at $10,000.

20. Any additional costs relating to vehicle compliance for the finished mobile café will be met by the trust.

21. All income from the social enterprise will be used by the trust to fund the following programmes primarily based at the Massey Homestead:

· Arts and cultural programmes

· Early Years Art: Targeted at 0-5 year old children to develop their fine motor skills through art based activities

· Youth Art programmes: Targeted at 6-15 year olds to develop art skills and research their cultural heritage through art concepts of Maori and Pacific based traditions

· Cultural Heritage Arts Workshops: Open to all ages for people to learn about their cultural heritage through the art techniques being taught and explored throughout the workshop

Health and well-being workshops:

· Free fitness sessions for elderly people in the community (a council retirement village is adjacent to Massey Homestead)

· Nutrition workshops for the community to encourage better eating and healthier living

· Growing your own vegetables - working in collaboration with the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Teaching Gardens for people to learn how to grow their own vegetables

Employment and career support:

· Drop-in sessions for people wanting assistance with creating a C.V.

· Advice on employment and career opportunities for youth

· Careers workshops for Pacific people/youth - inviting workforce agencies/universities to come and present to our community

22. Officers from council’s community empowerment unit have reviewed this initiative and support approval as it aligns with a number of the local board’s objectives, as well as supporting a community-led development approach which is a key principle of the council’s Thriving Communities Action Plan.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

23. The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Plan advocates that Māngere-Ōtāhuhu “is a destination in its own right” and that there is a significant opportunity to develop the area for visitors and tourists. The plan states “The board will use every opportunity to promote our unique cultural features and realise the economic benefits of developing our area for tourism.”

24. The Vaka Manu’kau Niue Community Trust is well-placed to build an arts and culture market at Massey Homestead into a visitor/tourist destination and attraction. This provides an opportunity to realise the local board’s objective to attract visitors for arts and cultural experiences and to deliver community programmes for youth and older people.

Māori impact statement

25. There has been no specific engagement with any Māori stakeholders at this stage. There may be future opportunities for collaboration to increase.

Implementation

26. The funding agreement with Vaka Manu’kau Niue Community Trust will seek reporting to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board by March 2017, on progress and achievements of the social enterprise and the delivery of programmes supported by the social initiative.
