Vehicle access barriers at Maybury Reserve

File No.: CP2016/08533

Purpose

1. To provide the Maungakiekie Tāmaki Local Board with options and recommendations for installing vehicle access barriers at the Maybury Street entrance to Maybury Reserve.

Executive Summary

2. Following a spate of criminal activity at the entrance to Maybury Reserve, the Adult Literacy Tāmaki Auckland Inc. (ALTA) have requested that vehicle access barriers are installed across the Maybury Street entrance to improve security in the area.

3. Regulating vehicle access to the reserve for the Watercare pump station and the learning centre will reduce opportunity for after-hours vehicle based activity on the reserve.

4. Three options to provide vehicle access control have been provided and of those lockable removable bollards are recommended.

Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) resolves to install two lockable removable bollards at the Maybury Street entrance to Maybury reserve to control vehicle access to the reserve;

b) allocates the $2,870.00 to the cost of the installation of the bollards from local board’s LDI Capex fund.

Comments

5. A series of burglaries and vandal attacks on the Adult Literacy Centre on Maybury reserve have severely impacted on the ability of the centre to operate. One cause of the repeated issues is uncontrolled vehicle access from the Maybury Street entrance.

6. The entrance is less than 3m wide. If the vehicle entrance was controlled with access available to the lessee and Watercare (who have a pump station on the reserve) then this will reduce vehicle based opportunistic activity.

7. Three barrier types were suggested. A solid swing bar gate, a chain and bollards, and spaced bollards. With all options outlined, pedestrian access will not be impeded into the reserve.

Option 1 - Swing Bar Gate

8. The swing bar gate would cost around $3,828 and would require two lockable bollards, one removable, one a tie post. The benefit of this option is that the swing bar prevents most vehicle types from accessing the driveway. The disadvantage is that the higher installation and maintenance cost than the other options, and the swing bar is more susceptible to damage.

Option two – Chain and bollards

9. The chain and bollards option would cost $2,750 and would require one lockable, removable bollard, and one fixed bollard doubling as a tie post. The benefit of this option is that the chain is easy and cost effective to install but chains hung across a driveway can be almost invisible at night and could be driven or walked into, and can cause damage to people and vehicles. Chains (once unlocked) need to be securely wound and locked to a tie post to prevent them from being abused.

Option three – two removable bollards

10. The cost of installing two removable bollards is $2,870 which is $120 more than the chain and bollard option. It has the advantage of being simple and easy to operate and would require a tie post (to secure the bollards when the driveway is open). It prevents most vehicles from being able to enter, and still allows disabled and pedestrian access.

11. None of the options guarantee that bicycles and motor cycles will be prevented from accessing the area after the bollards are locked.

12. The recommended option is option three, the installation of two removable bollards. With the driveway less than 3m wide, the two bollards can be spaced at about 935mm intervals providing an effective barrier to vehicles.

13. Management and operation for opening and closing of the bollards will be by way of council’s security contractors. This will entail a minor variation to the security contract and this cost will be absorbed into the operational contract.

14. Parks system keys will be used to lock and unlock the bollards. Watercare already have access to these keys so their ability to access the area for operational requirements will not be changed. A gate regime can be developed according to the ALTA operational hours if required, but it is usual to lock gates at 9pm.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

15. The request for barriers came from complaints by ALTA and the Police. The local board requested officers investigate and present the board with options and costs for installing vehicle barriers.

Māori impact statement

16. Mana whenua have not been consulted on this matter as it does not impact on customary rights or Maori outcomes.

Implementation

17. If the cost of installation of the bollards is approved by the local board they will be installed by City Parks Services in the coming month. Maintenance and opening/closing would be managed by council’s security and maintenance contractors through Community Facilities.

Watercare upgrade work at Maybury and Point England Reserves

File No.: CP2016/13163

Purpose

1. Watercare is requesting Local Board support to proceed with the Glendowie Branch Sewer Upgrade Project within Maybury and Point England Reserves in Glendowie. This includes land owner approval, license to occupy and easements.

Executive summary

2. The applicants seek land owner approval for construction work within Point England and Maybury Reserves. The proposed works within Point England Reserve involves the removal of existing wastewater infrastructure (two pipe bridges, sections of wastewater pipeline and above ground ancillary structures), and construction of an underground wastewater chamber and overflow pipeline. To undertake the demolition work, Watercare is seeking approval to close sections of Point England reserve for up to four weeks. The Maybury Reserve proposed works involve the construction of an underground wastewater pipeline via tunnelling, removal of an existing pump station and bio-filter and construction of a new pump station and bio-filter. The proposal includes the removal of 26 parks trees, works within the dripline or trees and pruning of trees,

3. The applicants seek a license to occupy for the closure of 9300m² of Maybury Reserve, for 24 months, to establish a construction site compound. This will include occupying two pedestrian access ways off Rowena Crescent and construction of a temporary bridge crossing a section of Omaru Creek.

4. The applicants also seek endorsement from the local board for the granting of an easement to Watercare Services for the new wastewater infrastructure.

Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-TāmakiMaungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) endorse the granting of an easement to Watercare Services over part of Maybury Reserve at 40 Maybury Street, Point England, Auckland 1072 (CT-10A/805, CT-26B/906, PT LOT 64 DP 44298 LOT 193 DP 43833 REC RESERVE GAZ 1982 P2578) and Point England Reserve at 254 Point England Road, Point England, Auckland 1072 (CT-26B/1115, LOT 1 DP 44920 LOT 16 DP 99636) for wastewater infrastructure as shown on the plans in Attachment A;

b) grant landowner approval for the physical works associated with the removal and installation of wastewater infrastructure within Point England and Maybury Reserve, subject to conditions to be provided by the Head of Community Relations to manage construction effects and redirection of the public;

c) approve the public notification and consultation with iwi about council’s intention to grant a License to Occupy for the closure and occupation of 9300m² of Maybury Reserve for a construction compound for 24 months. (Plan in Attachment A);

d) nominate the full local board to consider and decide on any submissions or objections received following the public notification process.

Comments

Background

5. As a result of aging assets and future growth in the Glen Innes area, Watercare are planning to replace and upgrade the existing wastewater transmission pipeline existing pump station, branch sewers and the construction of a new wastewater overflow chamber and outlet within Maybury and Point England Reserves.

Proposal

6. The application is outlined below:

· Removal of existing infrastructure, playground, pipe bridge and associated earthworks.

· Construction and installation of a wastewater pipeline within Maybury Reserve starting in May 2017.

· Construction of a 4000m3 storage tank at the Point England Reserve and various branch sewer upgrades.

· Relocation of a wastewater chamber within Point England Reserve.

· Temporary closure of Maybury for 24 Months for a site compound. This will be used for general construction activities such as the storage of materials, site offices etc. The site compound will be securely fenced with a secondary access via parks land of Rowena Crescent.

· Closure of one of two Rowena Crescent pedestrian access to Maybury Reserve.

· A temporary pedestrian diversion along Elstree Avenue and part of Maybury Street as the access through the park would be cut off.

· Tree removal of 26 parks trees, pruning and works within the drip lines of parks trees.

· Watercare seek approval for an agreement to grant an easement to Watercare Services for new wastewater infrastructure.

Assessment/Mitigation

7. The assessment and proposed mitigation is outlined below:

· Temporary disruption and loss of park land and access way for a 24 month period. Mitigated by a temporary pedestrian diversion along Elstree Avenue and part of Maybury Street would need to be established to ensure public health and safety during construction. Adult literacy centre access will be maintained and temporary bridge installed over Omaru Creek for access between the site compound and the pump station.

· Earthworks will create silt and sediment but this will be controlled through conditions of the resource consent.

· Tree removal and working in the drip line of 26 exotic parks trees (listed in the arborist report in Attachment B). This will be mitigated by replacement planting and undertaking arboricultural best practices outlined in the arborist report.

· The works will result in construction, noise and vibration effects typical to any construction project. Noise and vibration mitigation measures will be put in place, such as site hoardings to reduce level of noise, selection of equipment and timing of ‘noisy activities’ and ongoing engagement with community and residents.

Benefits

8. The proposal will offer the following benefits:

· Removal and decommissioning of existing infrastructure within Point England Reserve and the Omaru Creek Parks land that is shallow and prevents above ground development.

· Removal of pipe bridges over streams which will improve amenity.

· Remove infrastructure with graffiti.

· Improve the amenity and street appeal of the Glen Innes play centre and will enable the play centre to use the front yard as another fully fenced outdoor play area.

· Improve the Maybury Reserve pedestrian footpath sightlines, CPTED issues and the reserves amenity by removing the existing pump station. Replacement pump station is closer to the reserve property boundary, further away from the pedestrian pathway.

· Reducing the visual dominance effects of the pump station building within Maybury Reserve with a new building. The redesign will be done in collaboration with the Local Board, Auckland Council Parks and Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, to ensure the new pump station is more visually appealing than the existing.

· Relocation of the wastewater chamber to Point England Reserve would result in a section of Point England Reserve pedestrian pathway to be realigned to open up the existing pathways sightlines, improving the safety and amenity of this section of the pathway.

· Display local art work and project information on the construction fences surrounding the proposed pump station construction site.

· Upgrade the wastewater network to facilitate and enable Tāmaki Regeneration Company (TRC) to construct 7,500 new homes in the Tāmaki area.

· Reduction in wastewater in local streams improving the overall ecology of the area.

· The depth of the work (8-10m) would not unduly restrict future potential development of Maybury Reserve.

· All disturbed areas would be reinstated back to their pre-existing condition to council satisfaction.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

9. The proposal was discussed at a local board workshop meeting on the 10^th of May 2016. Feedback at this meeting was supportive subject to the local board being kept informed about the public consultation that Watercare will undertake as part of the project. Watercare have gone on to provide a Draft Stakeholders Engagement Plan as part of this feedback (Attachment C).

10. Consultation will be undertaken by Watercare as outlined in the Draft Stakeholders Engagement Plan shown in Attachment C. They will update the local board periodically with the consultation and public feedback.

11. Consultation has been undertaken with the following parties listed: Adult Literacy Centre, Auckland Council CPTED, Auckland Council Stormwater Unit, Tāmaki Regeneration Company, Tāmaki College, Ministry of Education, Glen Innes Play Centre, Glen Innes Family Centre. Details are outlined in Attachment C.

Māori impact statement

12. Ngāti Pāoa

Ngāti Pāoa prepared a Cultural Impact Assessment to assess Watercare’s preferred pipeline alignment. Ngāti Pāoa supports the project in principle, subject to cultural monitoring of the works and being informed of any accidental finds.

13. Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei

Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei supports the project objectives to reduce wastewater overflows to the Omaru Creek. It requires cultural monitoring of the initial excavations, involvement in design of the external appearance of the replacement pump station, along with accidental find notification and asks for replacement planting to be native.

14. Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki

Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki have asked that Maori artwork to be incorporated into the design of the proposed relocation of the pump station and is in support of the project.

Implementation

15. Water and wastewater-related infrastructure across parks are formalised as easement agreements in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977 under which most parks are held.

16. If the local board is supportive of the proposal, the easement agreement will be approved by the Head of Community Relations in line with delegations from the Governing Body for minor easements. The standard conditions of the agreement to grant an easement will require the Head of Community Relations approval of detailed design, methodology and reinstatement conditions prior to construction starting.

17. Watercare will need to apply to move their current designation within Maybury Reserve for the pump station.

18. The granting of land owner approval and license to occupy for the proposed works is undertaken as part of council’s non-regulatory role. This approval does not bind council in its capacity as a regulatory authority in any way, and any consent given under this agreement is not an approval or consent in its regulatory capacity, and vice versa. Council will not be liable to any other party if, in its regulatory capacity, council declines or imposes conditions on any consent any party seeks for any purpose associated with this approval.

File No.: CP2016/09277

Purpose

1. To approve a three year funding agreement and licence to occupy and manage with the Dunkirk Road Activity Centre Incorporated for the operation of the Dunkirk Road Activity Centre.

Executive Summary

2. The current funding agreement for Dunkirk Road Activity Centre expires on 30 June 2016 and this report seeks a decision from the local board on future funding, the term of the agreement and approval of the licence to occupy.

3. A regional review of multi-year funding was conducted for all community led centres. A criteria has been designed to assess the performance and governance levels which has provided the framework for determining multiyear funding terms.

4. Based on the framework, a three year term is recommended for the Dunkirk Road Activity Centre Incorporated. The operating group is stable and experienced and has delivered multiple services over many years.

Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) approve a funding agreement and licence to occupy and manage with the Dunkirk Road Activity Centre Incorporated for the years 2016-2019, terminating on 30 June 2019, for the operation of the Dunkirk Road Activity Centre;

b) approve funding of $48,136 per annum (to be adjusted in accordance with Council’s agreed inflationary mechanism, once confirmed) for Dunkirk Road Activity Centre Incorporated for operation of the Dunkirk Road Activity Centre;

c) approve a licence to occupy and manage the Dunkirk Road Activity Centre to Dunkirk Road Activity Centre Incorporated at Mt Wellington War Memorial Reserve, 14-50 Dunkirk Road, Mt Wellington, being) Pt Lot 286 DP 39428 (Attachment A) with the following clauses:

i) Term – 3 years commencing 1 July 2016;

ii) Rent - $1.00 plus GST per term if requested.

Comments

5. A multi-year funding agreement criteria has been developed to ensure transparency and to provide a consistent approach across the region. The criteria reduce risks of bias and identify key performance indicators for each term. Options are outlined below:

Option 1: 1 year term:

6. A one year term is recommended in a variety of situations such as where a new committee has been recently established or the current governance structure is unstable, a group maybe underperforming or if there are changes in location, buildings or licence terms which need to be worked through by the group in the short term. It could also be where an established organisation is going through significant change in asset portfolio.

Option 2: 3 year term:

7. An experienced organisation delivering stable operations or an established organisation with significant change in the membership/governance

Option 3: 5 year term:

8. A multi-service organisation delivering high service outcomes.

9. At the end of the approved term staff will assess the Dunkirk Road Activity Centre against the established criteria and make recommendations to the local board.

Deciding length of term

10. The options for length of term for Dunkirk Activity Centre Incorporated are outlined in the table below:

	Pros	Cons
One-year term	· Does not lock council into a long term agreement given redevelopment in the area may result in substantial changes to the community’s needs	· Length of term is generally not sufficient to attract external funding · Does not provide adequate time to enable long-term planning
Three-year term	· Acknowledges the stability and performance of the group and the extent to which their work plan aligns to the local boards priorities · Allows the group to attract external funding · Enables longer-term planning	· May not enable sufficient flexibility to respond to changing community needs · It can be politically challenging to terminate an agreement early (if required)
Five year term	· Acknowledges the stability and performance of the group and the extent to which their work plan aligns to the local boards priorities · Allows the group to attract external funding · Enables longer-term planning · Acknowledges the extent to which the work plan meets the needs of the community as identified in the Tāmaki Needs Assessment	· May not enable sufficient flexibility to respond to changing community needs · It can be politically challenging to terminate an agreement early (if required)

Terms and conditions of grants, and ongoing monitoring

11. Staff will continue to monitor, assess and report progress and performance to the local board on a regular basis during the term of the grant.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

12. The local board is interested in linking the wider strategic issues within the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki area particularly as it relates to the Tāmaki Redevelopment Company priorities and the Tāmaki needs assessment. This matter requires further analysis of options and identification of impacts which are outside the scope of this report and will require additional resourcing to complete.

Māori impact statement

13. According to 2013 census figures, 15% (6,111) of residents in the Tāmaki subdivision identify as Māori. The Dunkirk Activity Centre aims to respond to the needs and wants of the local community, therefore having a positive impact on the area’s Māori population. Council staff will work with the group to ensure their responsiveness to Māori issues and needs.

Implementation

14. Should the funding agreement and licence to occupy and manage be approved, the next steps are outlined below:

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board

21 July 2016

Disposals recommendation report

File No.: CP2016/14346

Purpose

1. This report seeks the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board’s endorsement for Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) to recommend to the governing body the divestment of 29 owned properties in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area.

Executive Summary

2. The council-owned properties presented in this report have been identified as potentially surplus to council requirements through a review process. Panuku is required to identify properties from within council’s portfolio that may be suitable for potential sale to a combined value of $45 million by 30 June 2017. Capital receipts from the sale of surplus properties contributes to both the Auckland Plan outcomes and the Long-term Plan 2015-2025 by providing the council with an efficient use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities and projects.

3. The first site presented in this report, Units 1-28, 150 Mt Wellington Highway, comprises 28 units held in individual freehold stratra titles. The entire site was acquired for transport purposes; however it is no longer required for this purpose. There are weather tightness issues at 27 of the 28 dwellings located at 150 Mt Wellington Highway. The rationalisation process for the entire site at 150 Mt Wellington Highway commenced in June 2016. Consultation with council and its CCOs and the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board has now taken place. Consultation with iwi authorities is currently underway. No alternative service uses have been identified for this property through the rationalisation process to date and the feedback received has been supportive of the proposed divestment of this site. Subject to the outcome of the iwi consultation and the formal views of the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board, Panuku proposes that this site be divested. Given the current housing shortage in Auckland, disposing of the site in a manner that ensures the 28 dwellings remain as housing stock, and ideally results in the weather tightness issues being remediated, appears to be the highest and best use of this property.

4. The second property presented in this report, Part 7 Eastview Road, Glen Innes is a narrow accessway comprising approximately 85m² that leads to the larger reserve known as Eastview Reserve. The landowner adjoining the accessway, Foodstuffs, have enquired about purchasing this strip of land. The Parks, Sports and Recreation team and the Community and Social Policy team have reviewed the subject strip of land and support the proposed divestment as the accessway does not meet Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) guidelines. The property was also accessed within the context of the Tāmaki Regeneration Area and is not required for future opens space purposes for the area. The rationalisation process for this site commenced in February 2016. Consultation with council and its CCOs, iwi authorities and the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board has now taken place. No alternative service uses have been identified for this property and the feedback received has been supportive of the proposed reserve revocation and disposal of this site. Due to this, Panuku proposes that this site be disposed of to the adjoining landowner. If approval is obtained to dispose of this site, the reserve status of the land would need to be revoked. Final revocation of the reserve status will be subject to completing the statutory requirements of the Reserves Act 1977 and Local Government Act 2002, including public advertising.

5. A resolution approving the proposed disposal of these sites is required for the governing body’s consideration before the proposed divestment of the subject properties can be progressed.

Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) endorse the proposed disposal of Units 1-28, 150 Mt Wellington Highway, Mt Wellington comprised of an estate of stratum in freehold described as DP 204682 – unit subdivision of Lot 3 DP 203948 contained in computer freehold register NA133A/870, NA133A/871, NA133A/872, NA133A/873, NA133A/874, NA133A/875, NA133A/876, NA133A/877, NA133A/878, NA133A/879, NA133A/880, NA133A/881, NA133A/882, NA133A/883, NA133A/884, NA133A/885, NA133A/886, NA133A/887, NA133A/888, NA133A/889, NA133A/890, NA133A/891, NA133A/892, NA133A/893, NA133A/894, NA133A/895, NA133A/896 and NA133A/897; and

b) endorse the proposed reserve revocation and disposal of approximately 85m² of 7 Eastview Road, Glen Innes described as Lot 375 DP 43832 and Lot 22 DP 51028 contained in computer freeholder register CT-22B/348 and CT-9D/1445.

Comments

6. Panuku and the Corporate Finance and Property team work jointly on a comprehensive review of council’s property portfolio. One of the outcomes of the review process is to identify properties in the council portfolio that are potentially surplus to requirements and may be suitable to sell. The subject sites are identified as potentially saleable through the review process.

7. Once a property has been identified as potentially surplus, Panuku engages with council and its CCO’s through an expression of interest process, to establish whether the property must be retained for a strategic purpose or is required for a future funded project. Once a property has been internally cleared of any service requirements, Panuku then consults with local boards, mana whenua and ward councillors. All sale recommendations must be approved by Panuku’s Board before it makes a final recommendation to the Auckland Council governing body.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

8. Local boards are informed of the commencement of the rationalisation process for specific properties. Following the close of the expression of interest period, relevant local boards are engaged with.

9. Panuku have attended workshops with the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board about the subject properties. The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board provided informal feedback that members were supportive of the proposed disposal of the subject properties. Site specific feedback from the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board is contained in the Local Board Views section of the property attachments to this report.

10. This report is intended to provide the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board with an opportunity to formalise its views regarding these properties.

Māori impact statement

11. The importance of effective communication and engagement with Māori on the subject of land is understood. Panuku has a robust form of engagement with mana whenua groups across the region. Each relevant mana whenua group is contacted independently by email based on a contact list which is regularly updated. Each group is provided general property details, including a property map, and requested to give feedback within 15 working days. Confirmation of any interest expressed is sent in writing and recorded for inclusion in the disposal recommendation report.

12. Panuku’s engagement directs mana whenua to respond with any issues of particular cultural significance the group would like to formally express in relation to the subject properties. We also request express notes regarding any preferred outcomes that the group would like us to consider as part of any disposal process.

13. Mana whenua groups are also invited to express potential commercial interest in any sites and are put in contact with Panuku’s Development team for preliminary discussions if appropriate to the property. This facilitates the groups’ early assessment of the merits of a development opportunity to their Iwi. In the event a property is approved for sale all groups are alerted of the decision, and all groups are alerted once a property comes on the market.

14. Property specific feedback received is included in the Mana Whenua Engagement section of the property attachments to this report.

Implementation

15. Following receipt of the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board’s resolutions, these sites will be presented to the governing body with a recommendation to divest of them. If the governing body approves the proposed disposal of these sites, Panuku will seek to divest of these sites in a manner which provides an optimal outcome and return to council.

16. The terms and conditions of any disposal would be approved under appropriate financial delegation.

17. If approval is obtained to dispose of approximately 85m² of 7 Eastview Road, Glen Innes, the reserve status of this parcel of land would need to be revoked. Final revocation of the reserve status will be subject to completing the statutory requirements of the Reserves Act 1977 and Local Government Act 2002, including public advertising.

File No.: CP2016/14478

Purpose

1. This report updates the local board on the current status of the Local Board Transport Capital Fund and projects, responds to issues raised by board members and, provides information on matters of specific application and interest to the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board.

Executive summary

2. This report seeks a decision on:

· Revision of the design for the bike parking project in Onehunga.

3. And informs the local board on the following matters:

· Consultations forwarded to the local board.

· Red Nicholson deputation.

· The status of Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board’s Transport Capital Fund and associated projects.

· Extended closure of a local walkway.

Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) receive the report;

b) endorse the new design for the Arthur Street bike parking project, which incorporates stainless steel Olympian stands rather than the “Toronto” corral, selected in April and instructs Auckland Transport to continue detailed design and construction to the original budget envelope of up to $55,000.

Reporting Back

Monthly overview

4. A portfolio meeting was held on 13 June.

5. An update on the central bus network consultation.

6. A workshop was held on 7 June with the Local Board, Ngāti Pāoa and Auckland Council in regard to Mokoia Pa matters.

7. NZTA presented to the Local Board at a workshop on 14 June on East West Connections and a further workshop on this topic was attended by Auckland Transport on 28 June.

Consultations

8. Consultations forwarded to the local board for comment in the last reporting period include:

· Bus stops in Kalmia Street (further details available in Attachment A).

· Proposed No Stopping lines on Ngapora Street, Rockfield Road and Greenpark Road and Waipuna Road East.

9. Resolution number MT/2016/50 – Red Nicholson.

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board: Requests that Auckland Transport fully investigate and come back to the board through the transport portfolio holder with any proposals Auckland Transport may have in addressing the matters raised by Mr Nicholson

· Auckland Transport can advise that the broken footpath was renewed mid-May 2016.

· In regard to the footpath width fronting part of the Bert Henham Reserve, this project has been added to the Regional Footpath Programme’s Candidate List which is due for prioritisation in October 2016. All potential schemes are evaluated against the above criteria, with the highest scoring of these candidate projects then added to next year’s funded programme for design and construction where feasible.

· As an interim improvement, the parking bays in the area adjacent to Bert Henham Reserve will be marked out as parallel parking bays, six metres long by 2.1 metres wide, offset from the existing roadside drop kerb. This will provide more space for pedestrians.

· Pedestrians on the footpath have priority through the vehicle crossing however the width of this particular vehicle crossing makes it a vehicle dominated space. To help alleviate this issue AT will install pedestrian symbols on the vehicle crossing in-line with the footpath to raise awareness for motorists. The issue of pedestrian access into Mount Richmond Shopping Centre has been discussed with site representatives of the Mount Richmond Shopping Centre, as this is a private property.

Other Matters

Local board capital projects

10. The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board has access to the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) for the construction of transport related projects in its area. This fund is administered by Auckland Transport. Each year, Local Board’s transport capital fund allocation is $494,757, and this amount can be accumulated within each electoral term.

11. At the April local board meeting it was resolved to spend any remaining funds from the 2015/16 financial year on a bike parking project in Onehunga and tetra trap fitting in the Onehunga Mall catchment.

12. As the electoral term extends beyond the financial year, it is also possible to anticipate the allocation from the first year of the new electoral term.

13. Financials

Updates on Current Local Board Projects

Onehunga Mall Upgrade

14. The artworks Installation and the Elizabeth Yates plaque will be installed in early July.

15. An opening event organised by Civic Events team will be held on 7 July.

Tetra Trap Project (Onehunga Bay and Onehunga Mall catchments) update

16. To date, 115 tetra traps have now been installed in the Onehunga Bay Reserve catchment. There are 76 tetra traps yet to be installed in this catchment and it is expected these will be installed by the second week of July. An up to date cost schedule has been requested for Onehunga Bay catchment. This will help to identify any savings from Onehunga Bay Reserve catchment area.

17. There are total of 73 catch pits in the Onehunga Mall catchment and it is estimated that about 50 of those will be suitable to fit tetra traps.

18. The total number of tetra traps able to be installed in this catchment will be confirmed as soon as possible. Currently, it appears that savings from the Onehunga Bay Reserve catchment and the additional $31,324 funds will be adequate to complete most of the tetra trap fitting in the Onehunga Mall Catchment area.

Bike corral in Arthur Street investigation

19. On 21 April, the Local Board selected a “Toronto” bike corral on a new kerb extension to be implemented in place of the first parking space on the south side of Arthur Street.

20. Auckland Transport’s further consideration of the bike corral option took into account the developing standard for multi-rack bike parking for the city. This standard requires:

· more direct bike access to and from the road

· infrastructure that better complements the streetscape; and

· infrastructure that is readily implemented elsewhere across the city.

21. Auckland Transport’s walking and cycling team has confirmed that bike corrals such as the “Toronto” do not meet these requirements and are no longer favoured. For that reason, a revised design for the Onehunga, Arthur Street bike parking project has been prepared which has endeavoured to capture the Local Board’s wish for a bike corral facility in the Arthur Street location. This is pictured below.

22. This new layout improves the streetscape on Arthur Street by way of a kerb extension; complements but differentiates from the recently upgraded streetscape on Onehunga Mall; provides more direct, safe access for cyclists, provides seven racks for up to fourteen bikes (the same as the corral); reduces the impact on pedestrians.

23. The revised design is of a slightly lower cost than the bike corral. Unlike the corral, the Olympian stands are made of stainless steel (which is stronger and more durable) and are made in New Zealand. The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board is asked to endorse this revised design.

Temporary closure of walkway

24. As reported in June, the Felton Mathew Avenue to Glen Innes town centre walkway has been closed temporarily to allow work on the Glen Innes to Tāmaki Drive cycleway to proceed.

25. The work involves installing drains, paving and preparing the walkway to be connected to the new shared path. A raised concrete table will be built to keep speeds low and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

26. Due to the discovery of contamination on site, the work is taking longer than anticipated and it is expected that the walkway will now be closed until the end of July.

Auckland Transport News

Further Consultation on the East West Connections Project

27. The latest round of public consultation is getting underway on the design for the East West Link project which is a significant step in the project’s planning and consenting process. The aim of the project is to improve connections in and out of the Penrose-Onehunga area and the New Zealand Transport Agency is keen for people to have their say at this stage to help shape the design.

28. A series of public open days and drop in sessions are being held in July. The public will be able to speak with the project team about the plans. This will include key interchanges at Neilson Street and Princes Street, walking and cycling connections in the area and key aspects of the environment.

29. Community feedback and further environmental work will help to refine the design before applications are lodged by the Transport Agency with the Environmental Protection Authority at the end of this year. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2018, subject to approvals.

Digital advertising screens

30. Auckland Transport, together with media supplier QMS (www.qmsmedia.co.nz), are installing a series of digital advertising screens across the network. This is the first stage of Auckland Transport’s digital advertising implementation. The first digital screens are being installed at Britomart Transport Centre, Newmarket Train Station and Akoranga Bus Station.

31. The purpose of the trial is to confirm the design and technology incorporated into the screens are appropriate for use across the public transport network. The prototype screens are displaying adverts on an 8 second loop, including a link to a survey being run by AT from 29^th June – 24^th July to gauge public reaction.

32. Other smaller format screens are planned for locations in ferry terminals, car parks, and bus and train stations.

Central and east suburbs new network consultation decisions

33. The Auckland Transport Board approved the new networks for east Auckland and the central suburbs, these areas now join the completed network which includes the south, west and north shore.

East Auckland

34. About 1200 submissions were received during public consultation. There have been changes to ten routes out of the 15 services proposed, eight services will have timetable changes, two new services have been introduced and two services removed. A key aspect of the final network is that the majority of bus services from the east will terminate at Panmure Station as it is far quicker to get to the city by train.

Central Suburbs

35. There were 3743 individual pieces of feedback. The final network has been designed as a result of this feedback taking into account practical and budgetary constraints. In total 53 proposed routes were consulted on, route changes were made to 18, 11 routes were removed and 12 new routes added.

36. Some key features include:

· a new Blue Link service – a 15 minute service that will run the full length of Tāmaki Drive to St Heliers - as well as an all-day route from West Tāmaki Rd, Kohimarama Rd and Kepa Rd to the city.

· a modified version of the popular Outer Link service has been retained

· a new route from St Lukes via Kingsland and Ponsonby to the Wynyard Quarter

· main arterial routes such as Manukau Rd and Remuera Rd will have improved all-day frequencies, especially in the evenings

37. South Auckland will be the first of the major areas that will be implemented, at the end of October, west Auckland will go live in the middle of next year, east Auckland and the central suburbs in late 2017 and the north shore in early 2018.

No heavy rail to airport

38. Auckland Transport’s Board considered the issue of mass transit to the airport at its June meeting. Essentially the board opted not to go any further with investigations into a heavy rail link, but to progress work on light rail and possible improved bus services to the airport.

Consideration

39. Issues raised by local board members

Location or name of issue

Description

AT Response

Tripoli Road, Riverside Avenue, Dunkirk Road

(request from HYS event)

Request for speed calming devices on these roads in Panmure.

These streets do not rank highly when compared to other similar streets across the region so AT is unable to recommend proceeding with the request for speed calming measures at this stage.

In regard to Tripoli Road, this is a Collector road and a bus route, as such vertical speed displacement devices (such as speed humps) are not considered appropriate. The intended purpose of a Collector road is to lead traffic between Local Roads and major arterial routes. This type of road is expected to receive greater amounts of traffic than a residential road, and installing vertical speed displacement devices would affect this capacity and the level of service on the route and result in on-going maintenance costs due to the high stress they would endure. For this reason AT avoids installing these methods of speed calming on Collector roads.

Ngapora Street

A complaint has been lodged that all-day parkers block the entrance to the cul de sac. A request for BYLs or parking restrictions.

Auckland Transport is currently in the process of investigating Ngapora Street, as it measures less than 6 metres in width and is considered a narrow road. AT can advise that it is proceeding with a proposal to install a ‘No Stopping At All Times’ (NSAAT) parking restriction marked by broken yellow lines on one side of the street, to enable emergency and service vehicle access.

The next step in the process is to seek formal approval for the proposed NSAAT parking restriction to ensure the markings are legal and enforceable. Subject to approval, it is expected this process will be completed to allow the markings to be installed by August 2016.

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board

21 July 2016

Approval of Proposed 2016/2017 Local Environment Work Programme

File No.: CP2016/10493

Purpose

1. To approve the proposed 2016/2017 local environmental work programme (totalling $110,000) for the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board.

Executive summary

2. The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board has identified an aspiration in their local board plan 2014-2017, to achieve ‘a healthy natural environment enjoyed by our communities.’

3. To give effect to this aspiration the local board committed $110,000 in total to local environmental projects in their locally driven initiatives (LDI) budget for 2016/2017.

4. To deliver on these budgets a proposed environmental work programme consisting of seven projects was prepared and discussed at a workshop with the board on 17 May 2016 (attachment A).

· $20,000 for Industry Pollution Prevention Programme (Tāmaki Estuary/Panmure Basin).

· $15,000 for Industry Pollution Prevention Programme spill training (Manukau Harbour).

· $8,000 for the Manukau Harbour Forum.

· $20,000 for Plastic bag reduction (Tāmaki Waste Reduction Action Project (WRAP)).

· $12,000 for Wai Care – community riparian restoration (Tāmaki Estuary/Panmure Basin).

· $15,000 for Water sensitive design in schools (Manukau Harbour).

· $20,000 for Water sensitive design in schools (Tāmaki Estuary/Panmure Basin).

5. Funding for the Manukau Harbour Forum was approved by the board at its 17 March 2016 meeting (resolution number MT/2016/37).

6. This report recommends that the board approves this local environmental work programme and associated budgets for 2016/2017.

Recommendations

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) approve the allocation of $110,000 to environmental projects as summarised in the table below:

Project	Budget
Industry Pollution Prevention Programme (Tāmaki Estuary/Panmure Basin)	$20,000
Industry Pollution Prevention Programme- Spill Training (Manukau Harbour)	$15,000
Manukau Harbour Forum	$ 8,000
Plastic bag reduction	$20,000
Wai Care – community riparian restoration (Tāmaki Estuary/Panmure Basin)	$12,000
Water sensitive design in schools (Manukau Harbour)	$15,000
Water sensitive design in schools (Tāmaki Estuary/Panmure Basin	$20,000
Total budget	$ 110,000

b) note that the Manukau Harbour water quality improvement budget line will support year three of the Manukau Harbour Forum work programme as agreed at its 17 March 2016 meeting;

c) note that any changes to this work programme will be brought back to the board for decision making.

Comments

7. To deliver on the local board plan outcome ‘the natural environment is protected and enhanced’, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board has allocated $110,000 of its Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) budget to support the delivery of a local environmental work programme.

8. Staff met with the board at a workshop on Tuesday, 17 May 2016, to discuss options for allocation of this local environmental budget and develop a work programme for 2016/2017.

9. Based on these discussions, it is proposed that seven projects be delivered by the Infrastructure and Environmental Services directorate (I&ES) as part of the board’s environmental work programme in 2016/2017. A brief description of each of these projects is provided below.

Industry Pollution Prevention Programmes (IPPP) in the Tāmaki Estuary/Panmure Basin ($20,000) and Manukau Harbour ($15,000)

10. The purpose of the programme is primarily educational and aims to inform industry and business on the impacts that their activities may be having on local waterways if they are not managed well and to encourage improvements to be made where any issues are identified.

11. The approach is proactive and non-regulatory, with an expert visiting each site, conducting a site inspection, talking to the business owners about potential issues and then following up with a recommendations report to the business if changes are needed.

12. For 2015/2016 a specialist contractor visited 208 local businesses in the Tāmaki Estuary and Panmure Basin to review existing operational practices to prevent contaminant loads entering the stormwater system.

13. The 2016/2017 work programme recommends that the board continue the IPPP programme in both areas and expand this to provide spill training for high risk businesses on the Manukau Harbour side of the board area.

Manukau Harbour Forum ($8,000)

14. This project aims to support the implementation of the Manukau Harbour Forum’s (the Forum’s) strategic vision that ‘The Manukau Harbour is recognised and valued as a significant cultural, ecological social and economic treasure/taonga.’ In particular, the work programme supports the objective of raising the profile of the harbour.

15. The board is one of nine boards who make up the Forum. The board endorsed year three of the forum’s work at its meeting on 17 March 2016 (MT/2016/37).

16. Year three of the forum’s work programme is focussed on building up awareness of the Manukau Harbour by continuing the external communications work through regular newsletters and attendance at events, a second symposium, and a flagship sites programme. Similar to 2015/2016, it is planned to attend up to six events over the summer, and to host up to four flagship sites events.

17. The forum engages with mana whenua through regular hui and will be involved in developing the next three year work programme.

18. It is recommended that funding for the Forum be allocated from the board’s Manukau Harbour water quality improvements budget line.

Plastic Bag Reduction ($20,000)

19. In 2015/2016 the board funded a plastic bag reduction project delivered by the Tāmaki Waste Reduction Action Project (Tāmaki WRAP).

20. It is proposed that this be continued in the 2016/2017 work programme to deliver on the board’s priority to support and promote community initiatives to reduce single-use plastic bags in the local board area. This campaign is being led by two local women with a focus on developing collaborative ways of working with the community to minimise waste.

21. The project has had a high level of community engagement in 2015/2016 and continued investment in 2016/2017 will allow the community group to build on and scale up all of the work that has been done to date. This activity complements the other waste minimisation work being catalysed by Tāmaki WRAP and Multi-education Support Trust.

Wai Care – Community riparian restoration (Tāmaki Estuary/Basin) ($12,000)

22. Wai Care supports communities to care for local waterways and catchments in the Tāmaki Estuary/Basin area. The 2016/2017 work programme recommends this budget supports the delivery of the following projects:

· Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Puau Te Moananui a Kiwa to support long-term educational and action-based project, in Paddington Reserve. This programme will complement the community-led KATA restoration of the Omaru River. The Kura are just completing a four-week water sensitive design programme. Wai Care monitoring and restoration would complement and enhance this learning with students committing to long-term action for their local environment. Water quality monitoring will be undertaken every term to feed into the regional Wai Care database. In June 2017 students will plant 300+ natives 100m along the riparian edge to assist in improving water quality and biodiversity in the reserve. Wai Care will then support students to maintain their restoration area every term and continue learning about and caring for their local environment. ($3,000)

· Onehunga Primary School community-led restoration of Arthur Street Reserve. Wai Care will support students to collect long-term water quality data to feed into the Wai Care database, teaching the importance of scientific data in leading restoration projects. Wai Care will involve students in planting, maintenance and pest monitoring and eradication within the reserve. ($1,500)

· Expansion of Ko Au Te Awa (KATA) in Glen Innes in Apirana, Eastview and Maybury Reserves along the Omaru River. New stormwater projects and development in the area provide a great opportunity to educate and connect communities with their waterways and become actively involved in the restoration. This will include community and school events to plant approximately 1,300 native plants along 200 metres of the Omaru River to restore water quality and biodiversity in local parks. Wai Care will then continue educating and supporting community and schools to monitor water quality and maintain the riparian plantings quarterly. ($5,000)

· Community restoration of Johnson Reserve. The Tāmaki Redevelopment Company and local community has been planting and maintaining riparian edges in this reserve since 2013. This funding will allow coordination of infill planting of 700 native plants and regular maintenance of this site. ($2,500)

23. Wai Care has established some positive, long-term relationships in Maungakiekie-Tāmaki. The board’s support for this programme will allow them to continue supporting these communities and schools to connect with their waterways and take action to improve the water quality.

Water sensitive design in schools bordering the Manukau Harbour ($15,000) and Tāmaki Estuary/Panmure Basin ($20,000)

24. In 2013/2014 the board funded a water sensitive Panmure pilot for households. Learnings were taken from this pilot and incorporated into the Water Sensitive Onehunga project funded by the board in 2014/2015.

25. In 2015/2016, Onehunga Primary School participated in a water sensitive design in schools project. The aim of the project was to educate students about water sensitive design through lessons and the installation of a water tank at the school. Lessons were undertaken in the second term of the school year and were delivered by Roots Creative Entrepreneurs. The school held a blessing and opening for the new water tank in June 2016.

26. For the 2016/2017 work programme, one school from the Manukau Harbour catchment and two schools from the Tāmaki Estuary/Panmure Basin catchment will be chosen to participate in the water sensitive design in schools project.

27. The selected school will participate in in-class, creative learning exercises that will be developed in partnership with council’s environmental education team and contractors. The culmination of the project will be the incorporation of water sensitive design features at the school. The school to participate in the project will be selected from those schools currently engaged in environmental education programmes. Lessons will be given to the students about water sensitive design and a water tank will be installed at the school.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

28. The projects noted above align with the local board outcome: ‘a healthy natural environment enjoyed by our communities,’ as noted in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Plan.

29. The proposed water sensitive design project in up to four local schools, and the ongoing work of Ko Au te Awa (KATA) along the Omaru Creek support the board’s community development goals, in particular the provision of opportunities for young people to have a positive role in the community.

30. As detailed above this draft environmental work programme was discussed with the board at a workshop on 17 May 2016 and their feedback has been incorporated into the recommendations in this report.

Māori impact statement

31. This report provides information on local environmental projects. It is recognised that environmental management, water quality and land management has integral links with the mauri of the environments and concepts of kaitiakitanga.

32. Some of the identified activities are of interest to Māori and, where appropriate, provisions for mana whenua participation, contribution, and consultation will be incorporated. The table below highlights how each project in the board’s work programme is expected to contribute to Māori outcomes and which require consultation and engagement.

Table – Māori Outcome Assessment

Project	Māori Outcome Assessment
Industry Pollution Prevention Programme- Tāmaki Estuary/Panmure Basin	The project will contribute to improving the mauri of local waterways, contributing to positive cultural outcomes for mana whenua.
Industry Pollution Prevention Programme and Spill Training - Manukau Harbour	The project will contribute to improving the mauri of local waterways, contributing to positive cultural outcomes for mana whenua.
Manukau Harbour Forum	Feedback was sought from mana whenua on the three-year work programme at an initial hui in November 2014 at which mana whenua identified a desire for closer involvement in the Manukau Harbour Forum’s ongoing work programme. The forum engages with mana whenua through regular hui and they will be involved in developing the next three year work programme.
Plastic bag reduction (Tāmaki WRAP)	Local iwi and mataawaka will have an opportunity to participate in planning and implementation of the project, but it is not anticipated that this will be at a significant level.
Wai Care – Community riparian restoration (Tāmaki Estuary/Panmure Basin)	The riparian restoration will be engaging directly with Te Kura Kaupapa Māori O Puau Te Moananui a Kiwa. The local marae Ruapotaka Marae will be invited to participate in the planting days. This will enable mana whenua to act in their role as kaitiaki of local waterways.
Water sensitive design in schools - Manukau Harbour and Tāmaki Estuary/Panmure Basin	There has been no specific consultation with Māori on this project.

Implementation

33. Regular reporting on project delivery will be provided through the quarterly performance reports and via regular environmental portfolio catch ups. Any major changes to the projects will be brought to the board for its consideration.

Purpose

1. To approve the 2016/2017 work programme for Community Facilities renewals for the Local Parks, Sports and Recreation activity.

Executive summary

2. Renewals funding is identified at a high level through the long-term plan and a capital works programme is prepared for approval annually. The programme ensures that each council facility can operate to the current level of service articulated in the relevant asset management plan.

3. Attachment A provides the proposed 2016/2017 work programme for Community Facilities, Local Parks, Sports and Recreation, renewals for local board approval.

Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) approve the 2016/2017 work programme for Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Parks, Sports and Recreation Renewals;

b) note that the 2016/2017 funding envelope is indicative to deliver this programme of work and any budget variances (within scope) will be managed within the total region-wide renewals funding envelope.

Comments

4. Community facilities are an important part of realising the vision of Auckland to become the world’s most liveable city. They contribute to building strong, healthy, and vibrant communities by providing spaces where Aucklanders can connect, socialise, learn, and participate in a wide range of social, cultural, art, and recreational activities. These activities foster improved lifestyles and a sense of belonging and pride among residents.

5. Investment in this renewals programme will ensure that council facilities remain valuable, well-maintained community assets that continue to meet user expectations. Not undertaking timely renewals will have an undesirable impact on the customer experience and put asset performance at risk, and ultimately increase the cost to maintain the facility.

6. The renewals programme process ensures that the proposed Community Facility renewals work programme (Attachment A) has received extensive input and assessment from business owners, facility users, and Community Facilities staff.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

7. Council staff will report quarterly to the local board on how the programme is tracking, and discuss with the local board any arising key risks and notify the local board when projects are completed.

Māori impact statement

8. The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Community Facility renewals work programme 2016/17 will ensure that all facilities continue to be well-maintained community assets benefiting the local community, including Māori. Parks and open spaces, as well as sport and recreation activity contributes significantly to Māori well-being, values, culture and traditions. Where any aspects of the proposed work programme are anticipated to have a significant impact on sites of importance to Tangata Whenua appropriate consultation will follow.

Implementation

9. This work programme will be implemented as part of Community Facilities’ usual business practice.

10. Work programme implementation will be reported quarterly to the local board. The first-quarter report will outline the programme’s delivery schedule.

11. The 2016/2017 Community Facilities renewals work programme for the Local Community Services activity was presented for approval at the June business meeting.

12. Where bundles of assets are presented as projects over multiple years, the assets (listed within each project line) will be renewed in order of priority with as many singular assets being renewed, within the allocated budget, as possible.

6. The 2016/2017 local economic development programme has been developed having regard to the Local Board’s priorities for local economic development set out in the Local Board Plan (2014).

7. The proposed LED programme comprises the following activities.

Young Enterprise Scheme ($1,500)

8. The Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) provides a practical, hands on experience for young people to develop and execute a business idea. The YES is delivered in Auckland on behalf of the Young Enterprise Trust by Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development (ATEED). The Local Board currently has one school, Tāmaki College participating in the YES.

9. Fostering youth entrepreneurship is a key requirement for developing an innovative economy and creating employment pathways for our young people. Through the programme, students develop creative ideas into actual businesses, complete with real products and services and real profit and loss. Students learn key work skills and business knowledge including: business fundamentals, planning, interpersonal relations, financial, decision making, reporting, risk management and team work. YES helps create a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship amongst Auckland’s young people.

10. In delivering YES, ATEED organise the Auckland regional events. These comprise two key events a Dragon’s Den in May and the Regional Awards in October (the winners of these awards attend the national awards in Wellington in November).

11. In 2015 the Dragons Den and Regional Awards events were held in five sub-regional locations: North, West, Central, South and East Auckland. However, the success of the programme and the resulting growth has resulted in substantially increased event costs. Each event is now required to cater for approximately 3-400 students, plus teachers, business mentors and supporters. The cost of venue hire and the associated cost of delivering these events amounts to approximately $5,000 per event. In total, this equates to approximately $50,000 (5x Dragon’s Den and 5x Regional Awards) to run the programme on a sub-regional basis.

12. Initial feedback from schools and the local community has been that they perceive considerable value in the delivery of the events at the local (sub-regional) level - in terms of the connections built between schools, and with the businesses. Therefore in order to respond to the feedback ATEED is seeking Local Board support to deliver an expanded programme of events being held in five sub-regional locations, and respond to the feedback that has been received from participants.

13. Auckland employers and tertiary institutions have also been asked and are contributing both financially and ‘in kind’ to support delivery of the YES in the Auckland region.

14. A contribution is sought from local boards where there are schools participating in the YES. The amount of support requested has been worked out using a formula of $500 per school in the local board area. It ranges from $500 to $3,500 per local board. The Maungakieki-Tāmaki Local Board is being asked to contribute $500 to the YES as one school is currently participating in the YES.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

15. The proposed LED programme was presented to the Local Board at the 17 May 2016 workshop, and has been amended to reflect the comments received at that workshop.

Māori impact statement

16. There are no direct impacts as a result of this report on Maori. However, in implementing the programme consideration will be given to the need to consult with Iwi and consider any impacts on Maori arising from the specific project being undertaken.

Implementation

17. Following approval by the local board the Local Economic Development team at ATEED will begin to implement the programme as approved by the local board. Where there is a need further scoping of activities will be undertaken and presented back to the local Board as required.

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board

21 July 2016

Proposed Bylaw to Reduce Speed Limit at Cornwall Park

File No.: CP2016/13655

Purpose

1. To seek the views of the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board on the proposed bylaw to reduce the speed limit at Cornwall Park.

Executive summary

2. This report outlines the opportunity of the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board to provide views at the request of the Cornwall Park Trust Board (the Trust Board) on a proposed bylaw to reduce the speed limit in Cornwall Park from 40km/h to 30km/h.

3. The Trust Board are seeking the views of the local board in their capacity as governors of the local board area as the proposed bylaw will primarily affect local board residents.

4. Officers support the board providing views to the Trust Board on the proposed bylaw. The benefits to providing views on the proposed bylaw enables the local board to recommend consistency with regards to speed limits between Cornwall Park and adjoining Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill Domain.

5. Should the board decide to provide views, officers support the reduction of the speed limit at Cornwall Park from 40km/h to 30km/h.

Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) provide its views to the Cornwall Park Trust Board on the proposed bylaw to reduce the speed limit in Cornwall Park from 40km/h to 30km/h.

Comments

6. The Trust Board is in the process of making a bylaw under section 22AB of the Land Transport Act 1998 and the Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2003 to reduce the speed limit from 40km/h to 30km/h.

7. The views of the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board are sought by the Trust Board in accordance with the board’s governance role in the area. Cornwall Park is a park of significance within the local board area and residents would be directly affected by the proposed bylaw.

8. A bylaw is required to ensure the revised speed limit may be enforced by the police.

9. The Trust Board is a Charitable Trust which operates Cornwall Park. The park land was gifted to Trustees in 1901 to hold and maintain for the recreation and enjoyment of the people of New Zealand. The park attracts more than 4 million visitors annually.

10. The Trust Board has released its 100-Year Master Plan for the park. The Master Plan promotes an incremental reduction in the use of private vehicles within the park.

11. All land within the park (including the roads) is owned by the Trust Board.

12. The park land is used for a variety of informal and organised recreational and sporting activities. It is a popular location for picnicking and walking and is also used by runners and cyclists. A number of sporting clubs and organisations are located within the park. These include the Campbell Park Tennis Club, the Cornwall Club Cricket Club, the Grammar Carlton Rugby Football Club and Carlton Cornwall Bowls.

13. Cornwall Park adjoins Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill Domain. Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill Domain is owned and administered by the Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority.

14. A key consideration for the local board would be to seek consistency regarding speed limit across both Cornwall Park and Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill Domain for ease of use by patrons.

Options

15. There are two options for the local board regarding this request.

Option one - provide views on the proposed bylaw.

16. The benefits of providing views on the proposed bylaw is that the local board’s views are taken into account in the establishment of the bylaw. It is in the interest of the local board, as a landowner of a number of other large parks in the area to have its voice heard on significant issues affecting Cornwall Park.

17. There are no obvious advantages to not providing views.

Option two - abstain from providing a view on the proposed bylaw.

18. The benefits of abstaining from providing views on the proposed bylaw are not evident.

19. There are some potential negative implications for the local board should it decide not to provide a view. Not providing views on the bylaw when asked to has the potential to weaken the relationship between the local board and the Trust Board.

Advice

20. Should the board decide to provide views, advice from officers is as follows:

a) Consistency across the adjoining parks (Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill Domain and Cornwall Park) should be considered for the benefit of local residents and park users.

b) The Trust board may need to investigate consequences that the bylaw might have on traffic on surrounding roads (Greenlane West, Campbell Road and Manakau Road).

c) Local & Sports Park Central are supportive of lowering speed limits in parks as it will:

· Foster a stronger philosophy of pedestrian priority within Cornwall Park

· Create a safer road network for all road users

· Discourage the practice of ‘rat running’ through Cornwall Park

· Indicate to visitors that the existing situation in relation to private vehicle access within Cornwall Park is expected to change in the future.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

21. As the park sits within the local board area the Trust Board is seeking the views of the local board within the process of establishing the bylaw.

Māori impact statement

22. The Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority have signalled in principle they support the lowering of the speed limit from 40km/h to 30km/h.

23. There are no particular impacts on Māori that are different from those of general users of Cornwall Park and the road network.

Implementation

24. This process and implementation of the bylaw sits under the responsibility of the Trust Board, the local board has no role or funding obligation in regard to its implementation.

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board

21 July 2016

Governance Forward Work Calendar

File No.: CP2016/14241

Purpose

1. To present the board with a 12 month governance forward work calendar.

Executive Summary

2. This report provides a schedule of items that will come before the board at business meetings over the next 12 months or until end of electoral term. The governance forward work calendar for Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board is included in Attachment A.

3. The calendar aims to support local boards’ governance role by:

· ensuring advice on agendas is driven by local board priorities

· clarifying what advice is required and when

· clarifying the rationale for reports.

4. The calendar is updated every month. Each update is reported 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.

Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) note the attached Governance Forward Work Calendar.

Comments

5. Council’s Quality Advice Programme aims to improve the focus, analysis, presentation and timeliness of staff advice to elected representatives. The forward work calendar provides elected members with better visibility of the types of governance tasks they are being asked to undertake and when they are scheduled.

6. The calendar brings together 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 assists staff to support local boards, as an additional tool to manage workloads and track activities across council departments, and it allows 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.

Governance role	Examples
Setting direction/priorities/budget	Capex projects, work programmes, annual plan
Local initiatives/specific decisions	Grants, road names, alcohol bans
Input into regional decision-making	Comments on regional bylaws, policies, plans
Oversight and monitoring	Local board agreement, quarterly performance reports, review projects
Accountability to the public	Annual report
Engagement	Community hui, submissions processes
Keeping informed	Briefings, cluster workshops

9. Board members are welcome to discuss changes to the calendar. The calendar will be updated and reported back every month to business meetings. Updates will also be distributed to relevant Council staff.

Consideration

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.

Implementation

12. Staff review the calendar each month in consultation with board members and will report an updated calendar to the board.
