Purpose
1. To agree the expenditure of up to $30,000 Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) budget, Parks Improvement budget to replace safety fall material at Parkhaven playground from sand to cushionfall material.
Executive Summary
2. This report seeks board approval for $30,000 LDI funding to replace sand with an alternative safety-fall material at Parkhaven Playground following reports of eye injuries to playground users.

|
Comments
3. The playground at Parkhaven was opened in 2014 following consultation with the local community and local board. The design of the playground made use of sand as a safety-fall material.
4. Due to the exposed nature of the playground, the sand is picked up by the wind and has injured the eyes of children using the playground. A series of complaints were registered with the local board who requested Parks replace the sand with an appropriate alternative material.
5. Parks recommend the sand is replaced with cushionfall which is a playground safety-fall material made from bark that meets safety requirements.
6. Parks request local board approval of up to $30,000 LDI from the Parks Improvement budget to implement this request.
Consideration
Local Board views and implications
7. The parks portfolio holder requested parks replace the sand to a more appropriate safety material at Parkhaven playground following complaints from the playground users.
Māori impact statement
8. Consultation has not been carried out as part of this project. However, consultation took place with Iwi during the concept planning phase of playground design.
Implementation
9. The replacement of the sand with cushionfall will be carried out during the week to reduce the impact on playground users. The site will be fully fenced and secured during the work for health and safety reasons.

3. At the 21 October 2015 business meeting the local board approved the development of concept designs for changing rooms, toilets and club rooms at Opaheke (Resolution PPK/2015/17).
4. Opaheke currently has functioning sportsfields, but there are no supporting facilities; toilets, changing rooms and clubrooms. The concept designs for changing rooms seeks to address this issue and provide the local board with a clear process for optimising the use of the Opaheke sports park.
That the Papakura Local Board: a) provides in principle approval for the Opaheke changing room concept designs b) delegates future decisions concerning detailed design to the Parks Portfolio Holders.
|
Comments
5. At the 21 October 2015 business meeting the local board approved the development of concept designs for changing rooms, toilets and club rooms at Opaheke (Resolution PPK/2015/17). The resolution states the concept designs should provide for a staged construction to enable development as funding becomes available (see attachment A).
6. The Papakura Local Board has developed the Opaheke sports park to provide for population growth. Currently, the sports park has a fit for purpose sports platform but there are no changing rooms or toilets to realise the full potential of the development.
7. The concept design seeks to bridge the gap in facilities at the park by providing modular construction suitable for a staged delivery over three separate stages (see table 1).
Table 1:
Stage |
Description |
Cost |
1 |
Change Room South: · Two changing rooms · Four showers in each changing room · Two externally accessed toilets · Storage room – rugby pads, cricket nets, etc · Referee’s changing room and shower |
$1.1m |
2 |
Change Room North: · Two changing rooms · Four showers in each changing room · Two externally accessed toilets · Stairwell and lift to provide access to clubrooms |
$1.1m |
3 |
First floor club room: · Bar · Seating areas · Toilets · Deck overlooking number one field · Views overlooking recreation park |
$1.5k |
|
Total |
$3.7m |
Consideration
Local Board views and implications
8. The concept design seeks to deliver on the local board aspiration of; ‘continued development of Opaheke’ which is a key initiative outlined in the Local Board Plan 2014. This project is supported by the local board at their 21 October business meeting (Resolution PPK/2015/17).
9. The board requested that the construction methodology of the changing rooms (stage one and stage two) provides sufficient capacity to increase the size of the club rooms (stage three) should this be required.
Māori impact statement
10. Iwi will benefit from the development of facilities at Opaheke with increased access to sport and recreation. No consultation has been carried out in the development of the concept design, however there is scope to incorporate cultural elements within the design of the change rooms.
11. The following groups are likely to have an interest in this project and will be engaged should the board seek to progress with delivery of the club rooms: Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Ngāti Tamaoho, Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua, Te Akitai Waiohua, Ngāti Paoa, Ngāti Whanaunga, Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Tamaterā, Waikato.
Implementation
12. Should the local board approve the concept design, implementation of stage one would commence FY17 with consenting and earthworks. Further funding would need to be sourced from the Governing Body through the growth programme or other funding partners to complete stage one works.

Security issues with the Bike shed at Papakura Station. |
Auckland Transport has taken on board the comments from the Local Board and are investigating options to put the doors back on the shed. Ultimately we are aiming to be able to provide a low cost, easy to use solution that provides sufficient security to users.
The steps AT has taken following previous updates are as follows: · Worked with Auckland Transport Operations Centre to find a security solution. They have new motion sensor cameras in the bike parks and are monitoring them for us. · Auckland Transport Metro have agreed that they will maintain the bike parking facilities as soon as we have an access solution. · Put up signs letting people know how to lock their bicycles more effectively.
Auckland Transport Business Technology is still working on finding a solution for access.

Lack of drop off zone at Papakura Station |
5 minute parking is available on Railway St West, we are looking at further solutions to improve upon this. |

Special Exemption (Section 6) Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987
File No.: CP2016/05768
Purpose
1. This report seeks a decision on the application/s for special exemption from some of the requirements of the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987 (the Act).
Executive Summary
2. Application for an exemption for fencing a spa pool has been received from the owner of:
· 41 Youngs Road, Papakura
3. The application does not comply with the Act. Pool inspectors have inspected the property and consulted with the applicant. Full assessment reports are attached to this report. (Under separate cover as confidential).
4. The local board must now resolve to grant, grant subject to conditions or decline the exemptions sought.
That the Papakura Local Board determine each application, by way of resolution, to: a) grant the application for special exemption as sought, or b) grant the application subject to conditions, or c) decline the application for special exemption sought. |
Comments
Background
5. Auckland Council pool inspectors have inspected the property for which an application for special exemption from the Act has been received. In each case, the swimming pool fencing does not comply with the Act. The details of the non-compliance are specified in the confidential attachments to this report.
6. The council’s pool inspectors have consulted with the applicant in this case. The applicant has been made aware of the council’s requirements to ensure fencing is compliant with the Act and they have chosen to seek a special exemption from those requirements.
Legislative implications
7. Compliance with the Act is a mandatory requirement for all pool owners unless exemptions are granted by the local board.
8. The Act requires pool owners to fence their pool, or all or some of the immediate pool area including the pool itself. Specific detail on this is contained in the schedule to the Act. If a pool does not have a complying fence it is an offence under the Act, unless exempt.
9. An exemption can only be granted by the local board after a consideration of the particular characteristics of the property and the pool, other relevant circumstances and taking into account any conditions it may impose. Then, only if “satisfied that an exemption would not significantly increase the danger to young children”, can an exemption be granted.
10. The definition of the immediate pool area, which is “the land in or on which the pool is situated and as much of the surrounding area that is used for activities or purposes related to the use of the pool”, is a key consideration for granting an exemption.
11. Where a building forms part of the pool fence and there are doors opening into the pool area, the local board may grant an exemption from compliance with clauses 8 and 10 of the schedule to the Act. It may exempt if it is satisfied that compliance with the Act is impossible, unreasonable or in breach of any other Act, regulation or bylaw and the door is fitted with a locking device that when properly operated prevents the door from being readily opened by children under the age of six years.
12. When granting a special exemption the local board may impose reasonable conditions relating to the property or the pool or reflecting other relevant circumstances. These may include:
a) Making the exemption personal to the applicant so that on a sale of the property a new owner will need to apply for a new exemption
b) Granting the exemption for a fixed term irrespective of changes of ownership
13. Any exemption granted or condition imposed may be amended or revoked by the local board by resolution. The rules of natural justice would however dictate that this action should not be taken without informing the pool owner and giving them the opportunity to be heard.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
14. Local boards have delegated authority to approve exemptions to the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act.
15. Before making an exemption, the local board must consider:
· the particular characteristics of the property and the pool
· any other relevant circumstances
· conditions it may be necessary to impose.
16. The local board must also be satisfied that the exemption would not significantly increase the danger to young children.
17. The local board may resolve to grant, grant subject to conditions, or decline the application for special exemption.
18. If the application is declined the applicant will be required to fence the pool in accordance with the Act.
Maori impact statement
19. There are no particular impacts on Maori that are different from those of other pool owners.
Implementation
20. The decision must be made by resolution.

Request for Funding of Environmental Education Initiatives
File No.: CP2016/04275
Purpose
1. To agree funding of $3,000 to support a creative engagement project with Red Hill School at Keri Downs Reserve.
2. To agree funding of $904 to support the installation of Toimata Foundation Enviroschools signage at eight schools in the Papakura Local Board (the board) area.
Executive Summary
3. Red Hill School have participated in Council’s Wai Care programme since 2009. Their investment in the restoration of the Hayes Stream through Keri Downs Reserve is often frustrated by vandalism and illegal dumping. As such, the school has suggested leading a creative community engagement project in the reserve in order to foster community interest in caring for the stream and reserve. This report requests the board support the creative engagement project with an initial funding contribution of $3,000 from its community response fund.
4. The Toimata Foundation have developed new signage in response to request from schools participating in the Enviroschools programme for a means to publically demonstrate their participation in the programme. Unfortunately, there is insufficient regional funding available to ensure all Enviroschools in Auckland have a sign, and as such this report requests the board fund the installation of Toimata Foundation Enviroschools signage from its community response fund at a cost of $904.
That the Papakura Local Board: a) agrees to provide funding of $3,000 from the board’s community response fund to support a creative engagement project with Red Hill School at Keri Downs Reserve. b) notes further funding for the creative engagement project will be considered as part of the development of the 2016/2017 Papakura local environment work programme. c) agrees to provide funding of $904 from the board’s community response fund to support the installation of Toimata Foundation Enviroschools signage at eight schools in the Papakura Local Board area. |
Comments
Creative engagement project
5. Since 2009, Red Hill School has undertaken restoration planting and water quality monitoring of Hayes Stream through Keri Downs Reserve as part of Council’s Wai Care programme. However, planting in this reserve is often destroyed, and illegal dumping is similarly commonplace. The school has identified this as an opportunity to implement a creative engagement project at the reserve to encourage the community, through the school, to take ownership of the reserve.
6. The proposed project includes calling a community hui to discuss the issues surrounding the reserve and the community adopting the walkway through the reserve. Different elements of the project will include water quality testing, riparian plantings, art work installation by the school and cultural art installation by a local carver. This project would see interpretive signage and art installed along the walkway through the park leading to the school. Funding of up to $3,000 is requested to support the creation and installation of the art work.
7. A second stage of the project is also being planned. This would involve the whole school working with a local artist on a sculpture or other piece of art which represents the cultural connection to the stream, and the cultures of the students. Funding for the second stage of this project will be considered as part of the development of the board’s 2016/2017 local environment work programme.
Enviroschools Signage
8. The Toimata Foundation (formerly the Enviroschools Foundation) recently developed a new sign to be placed outside each Enviroschool (example of the design appended at Attachment A) in response to requests from Enviroschools to publicly highlight their involvement in the Enviroschools programme. It is anticipated that all Enviroschools throughout New Zealand will display this sign.
9. In Auckland, there is insufficient regional funding available to fund these new signs (approximately $20,000). It is suggested that local boards fund signs for the Enviroschools in their local area at a cost of $113 per sign. In Papakura, this means providing total funding of $904 to provide signage for eight Enviroschools in the area.
10. The eight Enviroschools in the board area are noted in Table 1 below.

Consideration
Local Board views and implications
11. The board has provided local funding to complement the regional Wai Care programme as part of its 2015/2016 environment work programme.
12. The Papakura Local Board Plan notes strong support for projects that support protection of the natural environment, and engage the community.
Māori impact statement
13. A high percentage of Papakura residents identify as Maori. As noted in paragraph seven above, a proposed second stage of the project (unfunded) includes the school working with a local carver to create a culturally relevant sculpture, or other piece of art.
14. Te Ao Maori is incorporated as an integral part of the Enviroschools kaupapa.
15. No direct consultation with Maori was undertaken for the purposes of this report.
Implementation
16. Subject to confirmation of board funding, stage one of the community engagement project and installation of the signage will be completed this financial year.
17. As noted in paragraph seven above, discussion of a second stage of the project will occur as part of the development of the board’s 2016/2017 environment work programme. The project will be delivered in conjunction with the existing Wai Care programme in the reserve, and in collaboration with Red Hill School.

Community Places 2016/2017 Community Centre and Venue for Hire Fees
File No.: CP2016/05277
Purpose
1. To seek approval of venue hires fees to be applied in the 2016/2017 year.
Executive Summary
2. Local boards are responsible for setting local fees and charges, including those that relate to asset based services such as for community centres and venues for hire. Fees are typically reviewed and agreed on an annual basis as part of finalising the local board annual agreement.
3. Fees are informed by the performance of three factors which customers told us they value highly. The condition of the facility, the level of amenity provided and the presence of staff on site. The Hire Fee Framework also includes financial incentives aimed at enabling community outcomes, making more use of off-peak capacity and encouraging regular use of the facilities.
4. Due to the cost of making minor changes to hire fees (less than 2%) and likely impact to existing customers, staff recommend no change to fees for 2016/17. A standard inflationary adjustment has been applied to revenue budgets across council, however this is achievable within the existing fees as shown in the schedule. It is recommended that a three year cycle to review fees for these community facilities be established, aligning with the Long Term planning process. (Attachment A)
5. There are a small number of facility users in Papakura who continue to benefit from more favourable fees which have their basis in legacy council practices. Staff recommend that these groups be charged the appropriate fee from 1 July for reasons of fairness. (Attachment B)
6. Confirmed fees for the 2016/17 year will be communicated to all regular hirers and published online. They will be effective from 1 July 2016.
That the Papakura Local Board: a) Agrees to adopt the 2016/2017 community centre and venue for hire fees, as per Attachment A, to be applied to all new and existing hirers. b) Requests council staff to provide regular updates on the impact of the hire fees and the performance of council-managed community facilities as part of quarterly reporting arrangements.

Comments
7. Local boards are responsible for setting local fees and charges, including those that relate to asset based services such as for community centres and venues for hire. Fees are typically reviewed and agreed on an annual basis as part of finalising the local board annual agreement.
8. In 2014, council adopted the Hire Fee Framework, an operational policy which guides the setting of fees across the network of council operated community centres and venues for hire. Community group operated centres and venues generally determine and administer their own fee schedules and therefore they are not considered in this report.
9. Fees are informed by the performance of three factors which customers told us they value highly; the condition of the facility, the level of amenity provided and the presence of staff on site. The framework also includes financial incentives aimed at enabling community outcomes, making more use of off-peak capacity and encouraging regular use of the facilities.
10. Recommended fees for Drury Hall, Elizabeth Campbell Centre, Massey Park Grandstand Function room, Papakura Library meeting rooms, Papakura Old Central School, Smiths Avenue Clubrooms and Takanini hall are included in Attachment A.
11. Due to the cost of making minor changes to hire fees (less than 2%) and likely impact to existing customers, staff recommend no change to fees for 2016/2017. A standard inflationary adjustment has been applied to revenue budgets across council, however this is achievable within the existing fees as shown in the schedule. It is recommended that a three year cycle to review fees for these community facilities be established, aligning with the Long Term planning process.
12. There are a small number of facility users in Papakura who continue to benefit from more favourable fees which have their basis in legacy council practices. Staff recommend that these groups be charged the appropriate fee from 1 July for reasons of fairness, noting that these groups have now been afforded 24 months to transition to the new rate. Perpetuating these special arrangements sustains a benefit that is not available to other members of the community as well as requiring extra administrative effort and cost to recognise and process these exceptions.
Consideration
Local Board views and implications
13. If the Papakura Local Board chooses to continue these previous arrangements it should consider the wording provided below in its resolution.
a) Agrees to adopt the 2016/2017 community centre and venue for hire fees, as per attachment A.
b) Agrees to adopt an adjusted fee for hirers as per attachment B.
c) Agrees to underwrite the value of the forgone revenue associated with the transitional fees by making Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) budget available to an estimated total annual value of $5,757.40
d) Requests council staff to provide regular updates on the impact of the hire fees and the performance of council-managed community facilities as part of quarterly reporting arrangements.
14. The recommendations within this report fall within the Papakura Local Board’s authority relating to local recreation, sport and community facilities.
Māori impact statement
15. The Hire Fee Framework is not specifically targeted for Maori populations. However, it aims to be clear and transparent to all users and enable all Aucklanders to participate within facilities, including Maori.
Implementation
16. The recommendations in this report do not trigger the Auckland Council Significance Policy.
17. Confirmed fees for the 2016/2017 year will be communicated to all regular hirers and published online. They will be effective for 1 July 2016.

Executive Summary
2. At its business meeting of 20 August 2014 the Papakura Local Board agreed to support a three-year work programme for the Manukau Harbour Forum (resolution number PPK/2014/1), following the adoption of this work programme by the forum on 14 July 2014 (Attachment A).

New Road Name Approvals for Two Roads and Four Private Ways for McLennan Residential Development at Battalion Drive, Takanini
File No.: CP2016/06072
Purpose
1. The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Papakura Local Board, for six new road names within the development at Battalion Drive, Takanini, also known as McLennan Stage One.
Executive Summary
2. Auckland Council has road naming guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming for the Auckland Council.
3. While the Papakura Local Board approved 22 road names within the development, in September 2013, a change in road naming requirements meant additional names for private ways are now required. In addition to the 22 names approved by the Local Board in 2013, three names have not been allocated to specific roads.
4. The road names Troop, Bravery and Vigour, already approved by the Local Board, are yet to be assigned to specific road locations.
5. The Applicants preferred names Lieutenant, Mettle and Infantry meet the Road Naming criteria as do the alternate names Burgeon, Recovery, Valour, Dignity, Soldier and Spirit.
6. Local iwi groups and New Zealand Post were consulted on all the original names.
7. The proposed suffix “Road” is appropriate for the two roads and the suffix “Lane” is appropriate for the private ways.
8. The names Troop Road, Bravery Road, Vigour Lane, Lieutenant Lane, Mettle Lane and Infantry Lane are considered for approval by the Local Board.
That the Papakura Local Board, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, considers for approval, the road names “Troop Road, Bravery Road, Vigour Lane, Lieutenant Lane, Mettle Lane and Infantry Lane”, proposed by the Applicant, for the new roads within the development at Battalion Drive, Takanini (McLennan Stage One) while noting that the names Burgeon Lane, Recovery Lane, Valour Lane, Dignity Lane, Soldier Lane and Spirit Lane also meet the Road Naming Guidelines.
|
Comments
9. The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allowed that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name for the Local Board’s approval.
The Papakura Local Board, at its meeting of September 2013, considered a road naming report to name 22 roads within the development located at 75A Walters Road, Takanini. The development at Battalion Drive is a sub-area of that area considered for naming in September 2013. All the names approved by the Local Board related to a military theme reflecting the fact that the development is being built on land formerly part of the Papakura Military Camp. Of the 22 names approved by the Local Board, three names Troop, Bravery and Vigour have yet to be assigned to specific roads within the development.
Following the subsequent introduction of the Auckland Council road naming guidelines, all roads (including private ways) which access six or more address sites, require naming. Although some 22 roads have already been named by the Papakura Local Board within the development, four private ways still need a name. All names proposed follow the same military/military endeavour theme

Decision Making
10. The Auckland Council, by way of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (2012 - 2022), allocated the responsibility for the naming of new roads, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, to Local Boards.
Assessment
11. The Applicant’s proposed road names have been assessed against the criteria set out in the Auckland Council road naming guidelines;
12. Troop, Bravery and Vigour have been previously approved by the Local Board at their September 2013 meeting.
13. Lieutenant, Mettle and Infantry, proposed by the Applicant, meet the Road Naming Guidelines while noting that the names Burgeon, Recovery, Valour, Dignity, Soldier and Spirit also meet the Road Naming Guidelines.
14. The proposed suffix ‘Road’ is appropriate for the two roads and the suffix “Lane” is appropriate for the private ways.
15. As the Applicant’s preferred names “Troop Road, Bravery Road, Vigour Lane, Lieutenant Lane, Mettle Lane and Infantry Lane” meet the criteria of the road naming guidelines, they are recommended for consideration for approval by the Local Board

Consideration
Significance of Decision
16. The decision sought from the Papakura Local Board for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the community.
Maori impact statement
17. The decision sought from the Papakura Local Board on this report is linked to the Auckland Plan Outcome, “A Maori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world”. The use of Maori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Maori identity.
Consultation
18. The Papakura legacy road naming policy, which was relevant at the time the Papakura Local Board originally considered names for the development at 75 Walters Rd, required consultation with Iwi where Maori names are proposed. As a result, significant consultation was undertaken with tangata whenua being Ngati Tamaoho, Ngati Te Ata, Ngati Paoa Trust Board, Ngai Tai ki Tamaki Tribal Trust, Ngati Paoa, Ngai tai ki Tamaki and Pukaki Marae. Notwithstanding the original consultation with iwi, the Applicant, in January 2016 e-mailed nine iwi (Ngai Tai ki Tamaki, Ngati Maru, Ngati Paoa, Ngati Tamaoho, Ngati Tamatera, Ngati Whangaunga, Te Akitai Waiohua, Waikato-Tainui and Ngati Te Ata). The Applicant, in February 2016, e-mailed those iwi who had not responded to the initial contact.
19. Responses were received from three iwi: Ngati Tamaoho, Waikato-Tainui and Ngati Te Ata. Ngati Tamaoho confirmed no stance on the names proposed but did object to Te Rauparaha and the applicant withdrew this from consideration. Waikato-Tainui indicated support for Te Akitai views, unfortunately Te Akitai did provide a response. Ngati Te Ata sought a workshop but did not respond further when informed that no other iwi had requested a workshop.
20. Consultation was undertaken with NZ Post when assessing the original set of names considered by the Papakura Local Board in September 2013 and the Applicant again consulted with NZ Post in February 2016. NZ Post raised no objections to the use of Lieutenant Lane, Mettle Lane, Infantry Lane, Burgeon Lane, Recovery Lane, Valour Lane, Dignity Lane, Soldier Lane and Spirit Lane.
Financial and Resourcing Implications
21. The cost of processing the approval of the proposed new road name and any installation of road name signage is recoverable in accordance with Council’s Administrative Charges.
Legal and Legislative Implications
22. The decision sought from the Papakura Local Board for this report is not considered to have any legal or legislative implications.
Implementation
23. The Resource Consenting Team is involved in ensuring that appropriate road name signage will be installed accordingly once an approval is obtained for the new road name.

Papakura Local Board Feedback on the Transport for Future Urban Growth
File No.: CP2016/06500
Purpose
1. To consider the proposed transport networks for growth areas in the south and agree the arrangements for submitting formal feedback from Papakura Local Board.
Executive Summary
2. Auckland Transport is working with the New Zealand Transport Agency and Auckland Council on the project to agree recommended 30 year transport networks for growth around Warkworth, Dairy Flat, Silverdale, Kumeu, Huapai, Westgate, Whenuapai, Papakura and Franklin. The work follows on from the identification of the future urban areas in the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (PAUP) and the recently adopted Future Urban Land Supply Strategy, which sets out the sequencing of when the future urban land can be developed.
3. The outcome will be a recommended 30 year strategic transport network for each future urban area that can be used to inform the Auckland Transport Alignment Project, request funding and as a planning tool by Auckland Transport, the Transport Agency and Auckland Council. Identifying future transport infrastructure early will also help guide developers’ plans for Special Housing Areas and other new housing or business areas. The transport networks being developed include a mix of new or upgraded roads, upgraded state highways, optimising existing networks, new public transport and cycling infrastructure.
4. Various meetings and workshops were held with key stakeholders between 18 February and 3 March, to help develop the recommended transport networks. This enabled information to be gathered on what strategic transport connections will be needed during the next 30 years to support growth, as well as how transport should be integrated with development to best deliver liveable communities. The feedback received is summarised in the new network consultation document (Attachment A), which also sets out the preferred transport networks for growth areas in the south: Takanini; Drury-Drury West-Opaheke; and Pukekohe-Paerata.
5. Consultation on the preferred transport network runs from 15 April to 13 May 2016. Due to the short timescales involved, it is recommended that authority be delegated to the Chair and Deputy Chair to submit feedback on behalf of the local board by the deadline of 13 May.
That the Papakura Local Board: a) delegate authority to the Chair and Deputy Chair to submit formal feedback on the proposed transport networks for growth areas in the south, as set out in the Transport for Future Urban Growth consultation document, before 13 May 2016.

Comments
Locally Driven Initiatives
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.

For the attention of Gill Plume and Stephen Cavanagh
Dear Gill and Stephen
Business Improvement District Policy 2016
Feedback from Papakura Local Board
Papakura Local Board has considered the draft BID Policy 2016 and Operating Standards. In general, the draft policy is seen as an improvement on the 2011 version and it is helpful to have the operating details in a separate, linked document. There are some areas where further clarification is necessary and there is some confusion between what should be in the policy and what should be part of the operating standards. Detailed feedback on these matters is therefore set out below.
1. The overview section in the operating standards document contains some background information that would be better placed in the policy document. For example, sections 1.1 and 1.3 provide useful context about what BID programmes are, what they can do and how they relate to the business association. It should not be ‘assumed’ that this contextual information is known by elected members, many of whom have been elected after the establishment of the existing BIDS.
2. Papakura Local Board is supportive of the greater clarity provided about the role of local board representatives on BID programme boards but feels that more detail is required within the policy, rather than being relegated to the operating standards document. Similarly the policy needs to set out a clearly defined role for the Town Centre Manager and how they should operate in relation to the Business Association Board and the Local Board.
3. The local board expects to have a governance to governance relationship with the business association board, whilst staff should have a management relationship with the BID Manager. This distinction is not always clear in practice and it would be useful for this principle to be spelt out in the policy more clearly. Diagram 1 in the operating standards should be moved into the policy document and the town centre manager role should be more clearly specified.
4. There is a lack of clarity on the role of local boards in dis-establishments and amalgamations of BID programmes. This could be covered in more detail in Table 2, which summarises the roles and responsibilities of the key partners in the BID programme
5. The BID programme reporting requirements include a presentation to a local board business meeting following the business association’s AGM. The policy needs to provide greater clarity on the purpose of this presentation. For example, if it is to keep the local board informed of the BID programme work and finances in a public meeting, a ten minute deputation may be appropriate. If a specific decision is sought, a formal report should be prepared for the local board’s agenda. In any case, the board should receive more regular updates through the member representative on the BID programme board or through workshops with the whole board, which would enable a wider dialogue to take place.
6. The local board queries the purpose of the proposed annual report from council staff on individual BID programmes. Is it an opportunity to report on how the BID programme is doing in relation to the three success factors in the BID Policy as well as the BIDs own key performance indicators? If so, this would enable staff to advise on the function of the BID and the management of the targeted rate money.
7. The local board is accountable to its constituents for the targeted rate money being spent as set out in the BID’s business plan. This was recognised in the 2011 BID policy and should be carried forward into the 2016 policy. For this reason, the local board is supportive of the requirement for full audits of BID programmes: annually for those with a targeted rate income over $100,000 and every two years for those with a targeted rate income under $100,000.
Papakura Local Board requests that the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee give full consideration to the views summarised above, in finalising the BID Policy 2016.
Yours sincerely

Background
At its meeting of 16 March 2016 the Papakura Local Board resolved as follows:
That the Papakura Local Board delegates to Members Britnell and Catchpole to provide feedback by 15 April 2016 on the draft Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group plan 2016-2021, with particular reference to local priorities for emergency management.
This paper presents our feedback on proposals related to local boards in the draft Auckland Civil Defence and Emergency Group plan 2016-2021 (CDEM Group plan), on behalf of the Papakura Local Board.
Local board CDEM plans
The board supports civil defence management as an important, necessary and lifesaving endeavour.
We generally support the proposal for each local board to develop its own CDEM plan. This means each board can develop, define and agree its roles and responsibilities in relation to CEDM for itself. The board expects however, that individual plans would never the less remain consistent with best practice principles for CDEM.
The plan would cover the four areas of civil defence management: reduction, readiness, response and recovery. As it stands Papakura has two community response plans which can be reviewed if necessary as part of developing the local board CEDM plan.
The board expects the CDEM department to provide expertise and resource to develop local board CDEM plans.
Empowering local boards to champion resilience and civil defence locally
The board sees merit in training, guidelines and toolkits to empower elected members’ championship of resilience and civil defence locally.
Standing item on local board agendas
The board sees value in structured CDEM reporting to board meetings. Yearly updates are sufficient in our view. We’re considering a line item in our LDI budget for 2016/2017 to support local CDEM initiatives and suggest other boards consider this.
Concern with accuracy of context for local boards in the action framework
The board is concerned with the accuracy of context presented in the action framework regarding local boards. Statements such as “Many local board members do not have suitable understanding of their roles and responsibilities before, during and after disasters” (p. 46, CDEM Group plan) are misleading in our view. These roles and responsibilities are yet to be defined. The board encourages officers to provide accurate context for these issues in the final draft of the CDEM Group plan.
Detailed feedback tabled below
Our detailed feedback on the draft CDEM Group plan is tabled further below. Our previous workshop feedback to the development of the CDEM Group plan is available upon request.
We look forward to the energy and attention this process galvanises for local boards and CDEM.

Emergency management planning
Each local board has a representative who is the CDEM portfolio holder. Many local board members do not have a suitable understanding of their roles and responsibilities before, during and after disasters. |
Advocate for each local board in the Auckland region to develop their own local board CDEM plan and include reference to CDEM plan in local board area plans. |
The roles and responsibilities of local board members before, during and after emergencies have yet to be defined and do not appear in the draft CDEM group plan for discussion. The board suggests this absence of definition is the context for discussion rather than any lack of suitable understanding on the part of board members. How can board members understand their role in civil defence when it hasn’t been defined, developed and agreed yet?
The board encourages staff to provide accurate context in relation to local boards in the finalised CDEM Group plan.
The board supports developing a local board CDEM plan that enables each local board to define these roles and responsibilities for themselves. The board expects however, that individual plans would remain consistent with any best practice principles for CDEM.
Board members note that a local board CDEM plan would cover the four civil defence areas of reduction, readiness, response and recovery. In the case of Papakura, we have two existing response plans: the Papakura community response plan and the Conifer Grove community response plan. It may be timely to review these as part of a local board CDEM plan development process. Papakura is also waiting for its local board area hazard report, due 2017. This document will be an important part of developing an overarching CDEM plan for Papakura. We are also keen to learn what recovery means for Papakura. Our view is that people are the first priority in recovery after a civil emergency.
Staff view local board members’ governance role and in-depth knowledge and relationships in communities to mean: · members are well placed to promote and raise awareness of civil defence management locally (reduction and readiness) · members’ presence can provide moral support to communities in times of emergency and recovery (response and recovery) · members can help the CEDM department as eyes and ears – assisting communications during emergencies (response)
The board generally supports this direction, and would add the following roles: · liaise with local emergency response groups · keep current with CDEM practise and developments
The board expects CDEM department expertise and resource to support development of the local board CDEM plan.
As a matter of terminology, local board CDEM plans would be referenced in each local boards “local board plan” rather than “local board area plan”.
|
Leadership and governance
Auckland’s communities are supported by 21 local boards, however there is no consistency or shared understanding between CDEM and local board members. |
Ensure that local boards and elected representatives champion resilience and are competent to deliver their CDEM responsibilities |
Ensuring competence and championship implies a lack of these attributes which isn’t an accurate description of the situation.
As noted above, board members’ roles and responsibilities in civil defence are yet to be defined, as is a common view on what resilience in civil defence means.
The board suggests a better approach is to empower local boards and elected representatives with training, guidelines and toolkits to champion resilience and civil defence.
|
Leadership and governance continued
Advisory panels represent Auckland’s communities of interest and advise council on how to engage effectively with them. |
Include a standing CDEM agenda item at the council’s advisory panel and local board meetings. |
The board sees value in yearly, rather than monthly reports on CDEM activity and milestones for the Papakura Local Board Area.
The board would also welcome any visits or deputations from local emergency response groups (Papakura and Conifer Grove).
The board sees value in line item LDI budget provision to support CDEM initiatives in Papakura and are considering this for 16/17.

Governance Forward Work Calendar
File No.: CP2016/06241
Purpose
1. To present a 12 month governance forward work calendar to the board.
Executive Summary
2. This report updates the governance forward work calendar: a schedule of items that will come before the board at business meetings over the next 12 months. The governance forward work calendar for Papakura is included in Attachment A.
3. The calendar aims to support local boards’ governance role by:
· ensuring advice on agendas and workshop material is driven by local board priorities
· clarifying what advice is required and when
· clarifying the rationale for reports.
4. The calendar will be updated every month. Each update will be reported back to business meetings and distributed to relevant Council staff. It is recognised that at times items will arise that are not programmed. Board members are welcome to discuss changes to the calendar.
That the Papakura Local Board: a) notes the attached Governance Forward Work Calendar.
|
Comments
5. The council’s Quality Advice Programme aims to improve the focus, analysis, presentation and timeliness of staff advice to elected representatives. An initiative under this is to develop forward work calendars for governing body committees and local boards. These provide elected members with better visibility of the types of governance tasks they are being asked to undertake and when they are scheduled.
6. Although the document is new, there are no new projects in the governance forward work calendar. The calendar brings together in one schedule reporting on all of the board’s projects and activities previously approved in the local board plan, long-term plan, departmental work programmes and through other board decisions. It includes governing body policies and initiatives that call for a local board response.
7. This initiative is intended to support the boards’ governance role. It will also help staff to support local boards, as an additional tool to manage workloads and track activities across council departments, and it will allow greater transparency for the public.
8. The calendar is arranged in three columns, “Topic”, “Purpose” and “Governance Role”:
· Topic describes the items and may indicate how they fit in with broader processes such as the annual plan
· Purpose indicates the aim of the item, such as formally approving plans or projects, hearing submissions or receiving progress updates
· Governance role is a higher-level categorisation of the work local boards do. Examples of the seven governance categories are tabled on the following page.

Local Board views and implications
10. All local boards are being presented with governance forward work calendars for their consideration.
Māori impact statement
11. The projects and processes referred to in the governance forward work calendar will have a range of implications for Māori which will be considered when the work is reported.
