Feedback on the Hauraki Gulf Forum Governance Review

File No.: CP2016/14180

Purpose

1. To enable the Great Barrier Local Board to provide feedback on the proposed Hauraki Gulf Forum governance review.

Executive summary

2. At its 20 June 2016 meeting, the Hauraki Gulf Forum considered a report entitled Hauraki Gulf Forum Governance review and recommendations. This report followed an external review of the Forum completed last year by Nigel Bradly after interviews with Forum members aimed at identifying how the Forum could be more effective in its role. The interviews themselves were a result of dissatisfaction expressed by Forum members and others and a desire to make changes. A copy of Nigel Bradly’s presentation to the June 2015 Forum meeting and the June 2016 material is included at Attachment A and B respectively.

3. Nigel Bradly’s review material suggested how the problems identified by Forum members could be remedied including reviewing the governance structure and model, seeking more funding and considering co-governance. The June 2016 report included guiding principles which are summarised here as they are a key element for the board to consider in formulating its feedback;

· respecting Treaty settlements and the Crown playing a greater role at the Forum table

· recognition that governance structures have evolved since the Forum was established and basing the future model and membership on influence rather than representation

· simplifying the governance structure and having a greater focus on its purpose.

4. Under the proposal, the make-up of the Forum would take a co-governance approach with eight members appointed by mana whenua, five appointed by the Minister of Conservation and three appointed by each of the regional and territorial authorities in the Forum area. One of those three members would be from Auckland Council compared to the current structure which has six Auckland Council members, two of whom represent the Great Barrier and Waiheke local boards. Forum members wouldn’t necessarily be elected representatives and could be those with the influence noted above. Other proposals include provision for the Forum to have stronger and more direct statutory decision making authority over the Hauraki Gulf.

5. The officer recommendations presented to the 20 June Forum meeting were to receive the report and to support its recommendations, which were listed without change. The Forum resolved to “note” rather than “support” the recommendations and added a further resolution at the end that members consult with their respective bodies and report back to the Forum’s 12 September meeting. A copy of the Forum’s resolutions is included at Attachment C.

6. The Great Barrier Local Board will be considering the review at its 3 August workshop and more detailed information will be provided ahead of that. The most obvious impact of the review if it proceeds as proposed is that direct representation at the Forum table from the Great Barrier and Waiheke Local Boards would almost certainly end.

7. In providing its feedback it is recommended the board consider whether it supports the review’s guiding principles, or indeed has any other principles it wishes to base its feedback on. If the board is concerned to have a voice and influence on the Forum, then it should include how it sees this manifesting. This could be by direct representation, seeking to enshrine something in legislative change, or by identifying other mechanisms by which it would seek to influence the work of the Forum, or activities that impact on the Hauraki Gulf.

8. It is also suggested that the board considers providing joint feedback with the Waiheke Local Board if common ground exists.

Recommendation/s

That the Great Barrier Local Board:

a) Provide feedback on the Hauraki Gulf Forum Governance review for consideration by the Forum at its 12 September 2016 meeting.

Update Tryphena / Shoal Bay Wharf hard stand

7. Auckland Transport is working with the Great Barrier Local Board to resolve issues that have been identified around the wharf area, on days that freight is loaded and unloaded.

8. On the 16^th March 2016 Auckland Transport and members of the Great Barrier Local Board, met with representatives from, Sealink, GB Cartage, Blackwell Carriers, AB Deliveries, to discuss the area and solutions to issues experienced on a freight day.

9. During the discussion it was agreed that Auckland Transport would concrete the hard stand past the wharf and that in principle it was agreed that a freight distribution shed could be erected on the site, near the existing green shed.

10. Auckland Transport does not see itself owning or managing such a shed and its role would be limited to approval of the shed on the site, and approval of a license to occupy, actual location, size and usage.

11. The Local Board agreed to look at possible funding sources for a shed.

12. Dave Hyland from Sealink agreed to create a document that will outline arrangements and responsibilities required for the area on a freight day, once created, he will socialise the document and carry out consultation with all relevant stakeholders.

13. Auckland Transport contractors started the concreting of the hard stand as promised on the 16^th March 2016, this work is now complete with full loading and unloading activities able to recommence.

Tryphena Recreational Pontoon

14. A recent audit of the recreational pontoon at Tryphena has identified major issues with buoyancy and structural supports.

15. Auckland Transport has received a recommendation that the pontoon be removed from the water or repaired with urgency.

16. An initial estimate of cost to repair the pontoon is approximately $60,000 and would only give the pontoon up to five years extended life.

17. On Tuesday the 26 July 2016, Auckland Transport met on site with local users of the pontoon, including Police, Coast Guard and representatives of the local board, to discuss potential solutions.

18. Initial discussions have resulted in Auckland Transport seeking a second opinion on the structural integrity of the pontoon and possible solutions and, the costs to repair the pontoon, if funds were available. In the interim it was agreed that the dingy rack would be removed from the pontoon to reduce the weight on the seaward side of the pontoon and as a temporary measure dinghies would be laid flat on the pontoon.

19. It was also agreed that in future, the dinghies would need to be relocated from the pontoon to an acceptable location away from the pontoon.

Tryphena Coastal Walkway

20. The Tryphena Coastal Trail is one of the key initiatives listed in the Draft Local Board Plan 2014. This concept plan outlines the vision for the development of a continuous walking connection between Pūriri Bay and Shoal Bay Wharf. Auckland Council has commissioned a report that sets out the overall framework of the plan, and identifies discrete projects that can be implemented in the coming years.

21. Auckland Transport has agreed to work with Auckland Council and the local board on the plan, as and when time and budgets allow.

22. In a recent walk over with local board representatives and Auckland Council staff, Auckland Transport engineers identified several areas that would need attention on or near the road corridor to allow the path to continue unimpeded. See attachment E.

Quarterly Reports

23. Over the last few years Local Boards have been telling Auckland Transport that the quarterly reports are too long and contain too much regional material. Therefore Auckland Transport has decided to trial supplying the material from the Quarterly Report in a different way. Instead of a separate report, the relevant material will be incorporated as an attachment to each local board’s monthly report.

24. Therefore information about the work of different Auckland Transport groups carried out in the local board areas will be available as an attachment to the monthly reports. Going forward, Auckland Transport will be able to supply the Transport Control Committee (TCC) resolutions on a monthly basis as this will make this material much more timely and relevant.

25. The local board advocacy initiatives will be reported on in October and March each year. These changes should help to smooth out the information flow to local boards and ensure the material being reported on, is as timely as possible.

26. In addition to this material, Auckland Transport will circulate the quarterly report we prepare for the governing body by email to local board chairs and transport portfolio leads. (This report can go on local board agendas if requested and, covers major regional projects, public transport patronage figures, road maintenance activity and financial performance.)

27. The following are attached to this report:

· Attachment A – Report from AT departments on what they have done in each local board area over the past quarter

· Attachment B – Report on Travelwise Schools activities

· Attachment C – The Transport Controls Committee report (From henceforth this will be a regular monthly attachment)

· Attachment D – Advocacy initiatives

Media

Digital Advertising Screens

28. 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.

29. 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.

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

New bus and train zones

31. AT is introducing a new zone-based public transport system to make fares simpler. The new, Simpler Fares system for all bus and train services, excluding SkyBus, begins on 14 August 2016 and will be a significant change to bus and train fares in Auckland, making it much easier for passengers to work out their fares before travelling.

32. The new zone map has 13 zones and fares will be calculated according to the number of zones travelled through for the entire journey. Colour coded zones together with a new fare table make it simpler to work out cash or AT HOP fares no matter which buses or trains people travel on, by adding up the number of zones being travelled through and using the fare table to work out the fare.

33. The following depicts the new zone map:

fare-zones-insert

34. With an AT HOP card it will be even simpler for bus and train journeys, with a single fare being charged for each journey, even if passengers take several buses or trains to reach their destination. This will become increasingly important as AT rolls out the New Network for public transport over the next two years, beginning with south Auckland later this year. The New Network will be much easier to understand and use, with better and more frequent connections, and the new fare system will help customers make the most of it.

35. An AT HOP card will facilitate payment for one entire journey from A to B, instead of passengers paying for each bus or train separately. They will tag on and off each bus and train as they do now, but will be charged a single fare at the end of the journey. During a journey passengers can use up to five buses or trains within four hours, with up to 30 minutes transfer time between each trip.

36. A new AT HOP child weekend fare is also being introduced, to make weekend family outings by public transport more affordable, along with changes to the AT HOP day pass and three new ferry monthly passes. A child paying with an AT HOP card that has a child concession applied will be able to travel anywhere in Auckland, making up to five bus or train trips over a four hour period, with up to 30 minutes transfer time between each trip allowed, and pay a one-zone fare regardless of how many zones they cross.

37. A new AT HOP day pass costing $18 will also provide unlimited travel until midnight on the day it is first used on all buses and trains plus inner harbour ferry services (except SkyBus services). The inner-harbour ferries are Devonport, Stanley Bay, Bayswater, Northcote Pt and Birkenhead services.

38. The following fare table for buses and trains will apply:

	Adult ATHOP Fare	Child and Accessible AT Hop fare*	Tertiary AT HOP Fare*
CityLink	$0.50	$0.30	$0.40
1 Zone	$1.80	$0.99	$1.28
2 Zone	$3.10	$1.73	$2.31
3 Zone	$4.90	$2.72	$3.59
4 Zone	$6.00	$3.46	$4.52
5 Zone	$7.50	$4.45	$5.80
6 Zone	$8.80	$5.10	$6.70
7 Zone	$10.10	$5.60	$7.50
8 Zone	$11.20	$6.00	$8.20

*Child, Accessible and Tertiary AT HOP fares only apply when paying with an AT HOP card with the relevant concession applied.

Panuku Development Auckland Local Board Update 1 January to 30 June 2016

File No.: CP2016/13252

Purpose

1. To give the Great Barrier Local Board an overview of Panuku Development Auckland. The report also notes any major issues, projects and activities within the local board area for the six months 1 January to 30 June 2016.

Executive summary

2. Panuku Development Auckland was established in September 2015 as a result of the merger of two CCOs – Waterfront Auckland and Auckland Council Property Limited (ACPL).

3. Panuku helps to rejuvenate parts of Auckland – from small projects that refresh a site or building, to major transformations of town centres or neighbourhoods.

4. Comprised of five Directorates, Panuku manages around $1 billion of council’s property portfolio, which we continuously review to find smart ways to generate income for the region, grow the portfolio or release land or property that can be better used by others.

5. Panuku works with government, iwi, not-for-profit and private organisations. We use our skills, knowledge and connections to bring land and resources together to create the best outcome for Aucklanders.

Recommendation/s

That the Great Barrier Local Board:

a) Receive the Panuku Development Auckland Local Board Update 1 January to 30 June 2016.

Local Activities

Portfolio Management

6. Panuku manages property owned by the council and Auckland Transport (AT) that are not currently needed for service or infrastructure purposes. These are properties that are not immediately required for delivery of a council service or infrastructure development but are being held for use in a planned future project such as road construction, the expansion of parks or development of future town centres.

7. The property portfolio comprises 1447 properties containing 1121 leases as at 30 June 2016. The current portfolio includes vacant land, industrial buildings, warehouses, retail shops, cafes, offices, medical centres and a large portfolio of residential rental homes.

8. The return on the property portfolio for the period ending 30 June 2016 was above budget with a net surplus to Auckland Council and AT shareholders of $3.9 million ahead of budget.

9. The average monthly tenantable occupancy rate for the six month period is more than 98 per cent which is above the Statement of Intent (SOI) target of 95 per cent.

Properties Managed in Great Barrier Local Board Area

10. Panuku Development Auckland currently manages the following four commercial leases within the Great Barrier Local Board area.

Name	Address	Activity	Type
Fly My Sky	70 Hector Sanderson Road, Claris (Claris Airport)	Airline	Commercial
Great Barrier Airlines	70 Hector Sanderson Road, Claris (Claris Airport)	Airline	Commercial
Greasr Clearing House	70 Hector Sanderson Road, Claris (Claris Airport)	Airfield landing fee account	Commercial
Blackwells Quarry	25 Hector Sanderson Road	Fulton Hogan Quarry operation	Commercial

Portfolio Review and Rationalisation

Overview

11. Panuku is required to undertake on-going rationalisation of the council’s non-service assets. This includes identifying properties from within council’s portfolio that may be suitable for potential sale and development if appropriate. Panuku has a particular focus on achieving housing and urban regeneration outcomes. Identifying potential sale properties contributes to the Auckland Plan focus of accommodating the significant growth projected for the region over the coming decades, by providing the council with an efficient use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities and projects.

Performance

12. July 2015 to June 2016 Target

UNIT	TARGET	ACHIEVED	COMMENTS
Portfolio Review	$40 million disposal recommendations	$53,436,750 as at 30 June 2016	These recommendations include $38,334,000 of sites that are identified for development projects.

13. Panuku works closely with the council and AT to identify potentially surplus properties to help achieve disposal targets.

14. July 2016 to June 2017 Target

UNIT	TARGET	COMMENTS
Portfolio Review	$45 million gross value recommended for sale	This target includes disposal recommendations and sales for sites that are identified for housing development and urban regeneration projects.

Process

15. Once identified as a potential sale candidate a property is taken through a multi-stage Rationalisation Process. The agreed process includes engagement with: the council, Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs), local boards and mana whenua. This is followed by Panuku Board approval, engagement with local ward and the Independent Māori Statutory Board and finally a governing body decision.

Under review

16. There are currently no properties under review in the Great Barrier Local Board area.

Acquisitions and Disposals

Acquisitions

17. 14 properties have been purchased this financial year for open space purposes around the region at a value of $29.5 million, and 13 properties have been purchased for storm water purposes at a value of $1.3 million.

18. The property at 20 Glenfern Road, Great Barrier Island was purchased on 30 June 2016.The property was purchased for regional park purposes.

Disposals

19. To the financial year end 2015/2016 Panuku has achieved $55.5 million of unconditional net sales against the 2015/2016 disposals target of $50 million for the year.

20. No properties were sold in the Great Barrier Local Board area.

Regional Activities

21. The Panuku workload has increased significantly in recently months with work commencing across a number of new locations including, Manukau, Onehunga, Northcote, Takapuna, Henderson, and the Housing for Older People portfolio (HfOP).

22. As expected, the increased workload requires careful management and resource planning. Panuku is developing a master programme so it can effectively spread its resources across projects, control the scope of its programme to ensure it can retain a strong focus on delivery, and to identify where it will require extra resourcing moving forward. Where extra resourcing or funding is required for urban regeneration within transform locations, council has endorsed the principle of Transform Project expenditure being funded from reinvestment of proceeds from properties which are disposed within those locations.

23. Alongside the development projects, Panuku continues its business as usual activities, including managing the council’s non-service property disposal and managing the Westhaven Marina.

24. Panuku has continued to form strong relationships with stakeholders; with the communities it works within, Local Boards, the council family and also with the government. Mana Whenua engagement activities is significant, with monthly meetings held with all Mana Whenua, and regular one-on-one engagement with Iwi.

Highlights

25. The highlights for the last six months include:

a) The Auckland Development Committee approved the High Level Project Plan (HLPP) for Manukau as a Transform location.

b) The Auckland Development Committee also approved the HLPP for Northcote and Takapuna as Unlock locations.

c) The Prime Minister RT Hon John Key and Madam Chang Laiwa, chair of Fu Wah, turned the ground at the ground-breaking ceremony for the $200 million, 190-room Park Hyatt hotel being built in the Wynyard Quarter.

d) Including the Park Hyatt hotel, 14 developments are currently underway in the transformation of the Wynyard Quarter, with Willis Bond and Precinct progressing through their respective residential and commercial developments.

e) Panuku has been negotiating a joint venture agreement with The Selwyn Foundation to provide a basis for when it becomes the community housing partner for Auckland Council’s Housing for Older People portfolio subject to public consultation process. A high level project plan to cover the multi-year redevelopment of the network of village sites is being prepared by Panuku, as is the accountability framework. This is being discussed with The Selwyn Foundation. The HLPP will be presented to the governing body in August for approval.

f) The development of the airfields site at Hobsonville is continuing, with infrastructure being developed, including the building of new roads and water ponds. The 20 hectare airfields site will provide approximately 400 new homes when it is completed. Panuku has finalised a development agreement with A.V Jennings in April 2016 for the development of airfields stage 1. The site is 1.6 hectare which will result in the construction of 102 homes, 10 per cent being affordable. Panuku is also currently discussing with a potential partner the development of the remainder of the 20 hectare site.

g) Panuku Development Auckland was given delegated authority from Auckland Council’s Finance and Performance Committee in March 2016 to seek private sector investment to redevelop the Civic Administration Building. Panuku has identified a preferred proposal to redevelop the building and surrounding land and is working through the details with the selected developer. If negotiations proceed as hoped, Panuku should be able to enter into a development agreement later in the year. The preferred proposal will meet council’s heritage and design requirements for this iconic building and does not require a financial contribution from council. There will be a full public announcement outlining the plans for the building and surrounding land once the development agreement is signed.

Future outlook

26. Over the next few months, Panuku will:

a) Continue to develop Framework Plans for Transform Manukau and progress the Northcote, Takapuna and Henderson, HfOP Unlock projects. As part of this work, Panuku will be defining what affordable housing means in relation to the developments that it works on.

b) Work on the High Level Project Plan (HLPP) for the Onehunga Transform project is continuing. Panuku is consulting with the New Zealand Transport Agency about the implications on the HLPP from the East-West project route. It is also working with the Ports of Auckland on the transfer of ownership to Panuku of the Onehunga Port. This means that the formation of the HLPP is taking longer than originally anticipated.

c) Begin the HLPP process for Henderson town centre.

d) Continue to work with The Selwyn Foundation on establishing the Community Housing Partner for the Housing joint venture for Older People, and to form a development programme for its housing portfolio.

e) Support the Tamaki Regeneration Company (TRC) to plan and go-to-market process to redevelop the 2800 social houses that it recently transferred from Crown ownership to TRC. Auckland Council and the Crown are owners of the Tamaki Regeneration Company, and Panuku provides advice to the council on its shareholder interest. It is working alongside The Treasury (who advise on the Crown’s shareholder interest) to support the go-to-market process which will see the redevelopments which will increase housing from the current 2800 social houses to 7500 mixed tenure houses over a 10-15 year period.

f) Oversee the 14 developments currently underway across the Wynyard Quarter. A critical component of this is to work closely with Auckland Transport to ensure that essential roading infrastructure work takes place, and to manage through the impacts of any delays in the AT programme of works on the development programme within the Wynyard Quarter.

Māori impact statement

29. Whatungarongaro te tangata, toitū te whenua. Through our collaborative partnership approach, Panuku works with Māori towards: joint strategic outcomes; enabling commercial investment, including partnership in commercial and housing opportunities; contribution the urban fabric through recognition of Māori cultural footprint in design, respect for the environment and broader social outcomes; guiding the nature of our working practice when we embed Māori values in our business at a strategic and operational level. A goals and actions plan outline for this work is published on the Panuku website as part of our Māori Engagement Framework 28 October 2015.

30. In June 2016 Panuku progressed the goals and actions plan outline into a business wide Māori Responsiveness Action Plan, detailing at an operational level how we will meet our commitments to Maori. We have additionally agreed a Māori commercial relationships action plan formalising our processes for encouraging Māori commercial relationships with Panuku.

Local context

31. There are seven iwi with mana whenua interests in the Great Barrier Local Board area. Panuku has been engaging with these groups in respect of potential disposals and development sites in the Great Barrier Local Board area over the past three years.

32. If planning progresses for future Panuku led development in Great Barrier Panuku will work in collaboration with kaitiaki officers from these tribes towards best care for land and people within our area of influence. This work is understood to enable protection of waahi tapu and the optimum health of the mauri (life force) of the natural environment.

33. We additionally seek opportunities to partner with mana whenua, iwi and hapū and other Maori organisations on developments.
