Disposals recommendation report
File No.: CP2016/15045
Purpose
1. This report seeks the Rodney Local Board’s endorsement for Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) to recommend to the Finance and Performance Committee the divestment of the council owned parcels of stopped road known as Allotments 136, 137, 138, 139, 140 and 141 Ahuroa Parish and 147 Kourawhero Parish, Woodcocks Road, Woodcocks.
Executive Summary
2. Allotments 136, 137, 138, 139, 140 and 141 Ahuroa Parish and 147 Kourawhero Parish, Woodcocks Road, Woodcocks are parcels of stopped road. A private landowner has enquired with council about purchasing the five parcels which adjoin their property. The other two parcels have been rationalised simultaneously to ascertain if they are also candidates for potential disposal.
3. The rationalisation process for these parcels of land commenced in June 2016. Consultation has been undertaken with council and its CCOs and no alternative service uses have been identified for these parcels of land. Informal consultation has taken place with the Rodney Local Board and iwi engagement is currently been completed. As no alternative service uses have been identified for this site, Panuku recommends it be divested, subject to the views of the Rodney Local Board and the outcome of the iwi engagement.
4. A resolution approving the divestment of this site is required from the governing body before the proposed divestment can be progressed.
That the Rodney Local Board: a) endorse Panuku Development Auckland’s recommendation to the Finance and Performance Committee to dispose of: i) Allotment 136 Ahuroa Parish comprised of an estate in fee simple comprising approximately 981m2 contained in certificate of title NA28A/1422; ii) Allotment 137 Ahuroa Parish comprised of an estate in fee simple comprising approximately 1,461m2 contained in certificate of title NA28A/1423; iii) Allotment 138 Ahuroa Parish comprised of an estate in fee simple comprising approximately 4,127m2 contained in certificate of title NA28A/1424; iv) Allotment 139 Ahuroa Parish comprised of an estate in fee simple comprising approximately 3,465m2 contained in certificate of title NA28A/1425; v) Allotment 140 Ahuroa Parish comprised of an estate in fee simple comprising approximately 837m2 contained in certificate of title NA28A/1426; vi) Allotment 141 Ahuroa Parish comprised of an estate in fee simple comprising approximately 1,042m2 contained in certificate of title NA28A/1427; and vii) Allotment 147 Kourawhero Parish comprised of an estate in fee simple comprising approximately 43m2 contained in certificate of title NA28A/1412. |
Comments
5. Panuku and the Council’s Advisory Services 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.
6. 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 the Panuku Board before a final recommendation is made to the Auckland Council governing body.
Property information
7. In 1975 the Rodney County Council undertook a realignment of Woodcocks Road, which resulted in 21 separate parcels of road being stopped. 11 of these parcels have subsequently been sold to adjoining landowners owners, whilst the other 10 have remained in Auckland Council ownership.
8. Allotments 136, 137, 138, 139, 140 and 141 Ahuroa Parish and 147 Kourawhero Parish, Woodcocks Road, Woodcocks are individual parcels of land that were formed following the road stopping process. The 2014 capital value for the entire site is $180,000.00 The size of each parcel of land is:
· Allotment 136 Ahuroa Parish, Woodcocks Road - 981m2 -
· Allotment 137 Ahuroa Parish, Woodcocks Road - 1,461m2
· Allotment 138 Ahuroa Parish, Woodcocks Road - 4,127m2
· Allotment 139 Ahuroa Parish, Woodcocks Road - 3,465m2
· Allotment 140 Ahuroa Parish, Woodcocks Road - 837m2
· Allotment 141 Ahuroa Parish, Woodcocks Road - 1,042m2
· Allotment 147 Kourawhero Parish, Woodcocks Road - 43m2
9. Allotments 136, 138, 140 and 141 Ahuroa Parish all adjoin land held in a single title and the adjoining owner wishes to purchase them. Allotment 137 is on the opposite side of the road but adjoins a severance of the same title. The adjoining landowner is constructing a house and informal approval has been given to the owners to site a driveway on Allotment 137 in anticipation of the titles ultimately being amalgamated.
10. Given Allotments 136, 137, 138, 140 and 141 Ahuroa Parish, Woodcocks Road were being rationalised following the enquiry from the adjoining landowner about purchasing the parcels of land, Panuku and the Council’s Advisory Services team decided to also rationalise Allotments 139 Ahuroa Parish and 147 Kourawhero Parish to ascertain of they could also potentially be disposed of.
11. Due to the size, shape and nature of the subject sites, it is unlikely they can be utilised for council service purposes. Further, there are limited possibilities to utilise them for other purposes, and if they were to be divested, they could likely only be sold to an adjoining landowner.
Internal consultation
12. The rationalisation process for the subject sites commenced in June 2016. No alternative service uses were identified for these sites through the internal consultation process.
13. As part of the internal consultation process, the Closed Landfills and Contaminated Land team assessed the subject sites and advised that there is no information to suggest latent liabilities on these sites. The Heritage team also assessed these sites and advised that there are no archeological or built heritage issues.
Consideration
Local Board views and implications
14. Panuku provided the Rodney Local Board with a memo regarding the subject sites in June 2016. No feedback was received.
15. This report provides the Rodney Local Board with an opportunity to formalise its views regarding the subject sites.
Māori impact statement
16. Consultation with mana whenua iwi is currently underway. Panuku will advise the Rodney Local Board of the outcome of the consultation once feedback has been received.
Implementation
17. A resolution approving the disposal of the subject sites is required from the governing body before the proposed divestment can be progressed.
18. The offer back obligations set out in section 40 of the Public Works Act 1981 do not apply to the subject sites as they are parcels of stopped road.
19. The subject property is not one of council’s strategic assets to which the Significance Policy applies.

Rodney 2016/2017 Local Economic Development Programme
File No.: CP2016/16174
Purpose
1. To confirm the preferred project for delivery from the Rodney Local Economic Development budget for the 2016/17 financial year.
Executive summary
2. This report introduces two proposed options for the 2016/17 financial year Local Economic Development work programme for the Rodney Local Board.
3. The proposed options are the North West Country Access Project (Attachment A) and the Rodney Art/Artisan Festival.
4. The North West Access Project will provide a transport solution to international visitors with no vehicles (such as young tourists/backpackers), so that they can experience the tourism offerings in North West region.
5. The Rodney Arts/Artisan Festival will create a new visitor experience by inviting people to meet artists/artisans in person, and learn more about their creative processes and traditional manufacturing processes. With the geographic area covering Helensville to Wellsford, across to Pakiri and Leigh.
6. The total budget available for the delivery of the Local Economic Development programme is $24,000. The local board is being asked to select the project which will form the 2016/17 local economic development programme.
7. Both proposed options have the potential to increase visitor numbers, length of stay and visitor spend in the Rodney area.
That the Rodney Local Board: a) approve one of the following options for delivery in the 2016/17 financial year ; i) North West Country Access Project ($24,000), or ii) Rodney Arts/Artisan Festival ($24,000)
|
Comments
Background
8. The Rodney Local Board has allocated $24,000 in its Locally Driven Initiative budget for the delivery of Local Economic Development (LED) initiatives in the 2016/17 financial year. Two projects are being put forward for consideration by the Local Board: one from the North West Business Association and one from Auckland Council’s Arts and Culture team.
9. Strategically it is considered that both proposals if delivered would help to deliver the “Local Economies are strong and growing” outcome of the Rodney Local Board Plan 2014, specifically supporting the community to deliver projects that contribute to growth in the Rodney tourism market.
10. In addition to this the projects would also support the implementation of the following LED action plan actions:
Action 1.b - Aligned with the North-West Tourism Strategy, encourage tourism operators and other businesses to collaborate to lengthen visitor stay and increase visitor spend in the area.
Action 5.5 - Support the development of new visitor experiences by tourism operators in Rodney.
Outline of proposed projects
11. The two proposals are outlined below along with a proposal from the North West District Business Improvement District attached in Attachment A to this report.
North West Country Access Project ($24,000)
12. The North West Business Association has identified the lack of viable transport options for visitors to get to the North West region as a challenge in achieving new visitor growth in the region.
13. As set out in Attachment A, in order to address this issue the North West Business Association is proposing to pilot a new transport initiative over the summer season 2016 to 2017 in partnership with Nga Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara, a tourism organisation based in central Auckland and a number of key North West tourism operators.
14. The transport initiative will involve a daily bus service from central Auckland to the North West region.
15. The business association’s suggested itinerary options include a combination of the following attractions: vineyard/brewery/food focus, Woodhill adventure, sculpture trail in Kaukapakapa, hots pools in Parakai and artists workshops.
16. The North West Business Association has indicated that it has support for the initiative from iwi and local tourism operators. The potential benefits that could result from the North West Access Project include:
· Increased collaboration between tourism operators and others business to work together to promote the Rodney area to new visitors
· An increase in visitor numbers and spend in the Rodney area
· Increased profile of North West Rodney as a visitor destination
17. North West Business Association estimates that the total cost of the pilot to be approximately $85,000. This covers the wages of drivers/tourist guides, vehicle lease, and operation costs including administration, and marketing. The business association has indicated that the costs of delivering the pilot would be met from the following contributions, $10,000 from North West Business Association, $10,000 from Iwi (Nga Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara), $24,000 from the Rodney Local Board, $20,000 from key tourism operators and $20,000 from anticipated ticket sales.
18. North West Business Association will manage the daily operations of the service. The success measures will include number of passengers, passengers’ feedback, the awareness of the service among tourist operators, number of enquiries and social media feedback.
Rodney Arts/Artisan Festival ($24,000)
19. The concept of an open studio weekend for artists and “cottage” businesses in Rodney was raised by the arts team when discussing their 2016/2017 work programme with the local board.
20. Open studio artist/artisan weekends are a common concept internationally (United States, United Kingdom, Australia), particularly where there are attractive rural areas within reach of large population centres. Many have grown over a number of years from modest beginnings into very popular self-sustaining regular events with multiple benefits for communities and businesses in the participating areas.
21. Within Auckland, the Waitakere Ranges Local Board recently proposed that a previous iteration of an ‘Open Studio’ event be re-branded and re-developed to create a more current ‘Open Studios Waitakere’ programme. The successful Open Studio Waitakere weekend was held in November 2015 with an average of 60 visitors per studio per day (a total of 4,800 visits over the weekend).
22. Most visitor activity in Rodney is centred on the well-known attractions of the eastern side. As north-west Rodney is also home to many artists and cottage industries there is an opportunity to create a new visitor experience by inviting people to meet artists/artisans in person, and learn more about their creative processes and traditional manufacturing processes. This could be focused primarily on the relatively unexplored fringes and settlements of the Kaipara Harbour. With the geographic scope including Helensville to Wellsford and surrounding areas, across to Pakiri and then finish up at Leigh.
23. From a LED perspective, Rodney has the potential to attract a broader Auckland regional market with a unique arts/producer/maker focus. It is considered to be important to expand Rodney’s appeal to visitors beyond local and north Auckland with new visitor experiences, which the arts festival could achieve.
24. The potential benefits that could result from the festival include:
· An opportunity for artists and businesses and other collaborating partners to work together to promote the Rodney area to new visitors.
· An increase in visitor numbers and spend in the Rodney area.
· Increased profile and awareness of artists/makers in Rodney.
· Providing artists with opportunities to showcase and network with local and wider participants and visitors.
· Increased awareness of the creative sector in Rodney and community pride amongst local residents.
25. Further research into the Rodney based artists and cottage industry will help provide suggestions on developing the suitable programmes. It is considered that the festival programmes on offer will have to be appealing and clearly promoted.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
26. The proposed LED programme options were presented by staff to the local board at the workshops on 25 May 2016 and 27 July 2016.
27. North West Business Association also presented its proposal to the local board at a deputation to the local board business meeting on 11 July 2016.
Māori impact statement
28. Both projects have the potential to increase the number of visitors to the Rodney Local Board area. Local Māori businesses (including artists) will have the potential to benefit from the increase in visitors and the resulting spend. In implementing the approved project consideration will be given to the need to consult with iwi and consider any further impacts on Māori arising from the specific project being undertaken.
29. Nga Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara is one of the partners in the North West Country Access Project, and will benefit directly from the local economic outcomes from the initiative.
Implementation
30. Once the local board allocates the remaining $24,000, the LED budget to the preferred initiative the team at Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) will begin to implement the programme as approved by the local board. Where there is a need further scoping of activities this will be undertaken.

Comments
The Bureaux Background
6. On 20 September 2012 the Bureaux was incorporated under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908. The aim of the Bureaux is to:
· Ensure that individuals do not suffer through ignorance of their rights and responsibilities;
· Assist those who are unable to express their needs effectively;
· To exert a responsible influence on the development of social policies and services, both locally and nationally.
7. Currently, the Bureaux and its associated societies occupy 32 premises provided by council throughout Auckland. All these have varying agreements in respect of the terms and conditions:
· Thirty are council-owned premises with various occupation arrangements in place;
· Two are commercially owned and leased to council.
8. A review of the occupation agreements with the Bureaux identified benefits that would accrue if these agreements were brought together as one lease with consistent terms and conditions, aligned with the Strategic Relationship Agreement (SRA) and Funding Agreement (FA) and Long-term Plan funding rounds.
9. Under the SRA, the Bureaux have agreed to meet local community objectives by providing communities with high quality information, advice, referral and client advocacy services that:
· Are accessible and responsive to the needs of our diverse communities;
· Inform and empower people;
· Encourage people to be actively involved in shaping their communities and the city;
· Contribute to the development of regional social policy;
· Collaborate with Auckland Council on the development of the strategic direction for the provision of the Citizens Advice Bureau services.
10. Relationships between local boards and local Bureaux are at different stages of development. The SRA supports development of successful long-term local board-Bureaux relationships by increasing information sharing between the board and Bureaux through quarterly and annual reports on service usage and emerging local issues.
Premises Background
11. The Bureaux and its associated societies have agreed to surrender existing occupation contracts and to enter into a regional multi-premises lease identifying the separate sites occupied by the Bureaux.
12. Attachment B lists the Bureaux premise(s) for inclusion in this local board area. Attachment C Regional Bureaux Sites shows all the Bureaux locations across the region.
13. Two sites listed below are owned by the Crown and held in trust by council as noted in the table below, these leases will require a clause to recognise that the properties may in the future be required for Treaty of Waitangi settlement purposes. These sites are:
Local Board Area |
Building Name |
Location |
Maungakiekie-Tāmaki |
CAB Office |
100 Line Rd Glen Innes |
Kaipātiki |
Library building |
5 Ernie Mays St Northcote |
14. Three sites are unclassified local purpose reserves. These sites can be leased pursuant to section 61 (2A) of the Reserves Act without the need to classify or advertise. The details of each will be placed on a schedule of sites to be classified subsequently. The sites are:

Options
15. This report proposes that all council managed premises for the Bureaux be granted under a multi-premises community lease providing the thirty two sites with a common lease document with standard terms and conditions. A multi-premises lease will enable more efficient, consistent and streamlined lease management. Importantly it will provide the Bureaux with the following:
· Accommodation with a defined lease period;
· Known costs to further assist their budget planning and financial controls;
· Reduce both the Bureaux and council’s administrative costs thereby assisting the former to focus on their primary outcomes.
16. The regional premises meet the current service delivery needs of the Bureaux. No asset delivery study has been undertaken, but will be as part of the work programme in the SRA between council and the Bureaux. The proposed lease accommodates this future asset study by allowing for more streamlined addition and removal of premises to meet both the changing accommodation and business needs of the Bureaux.
17. Some sites are currently under consideration by local boards regarding configuration of current space or relocation to other premises. These are Panmure, Sylvia Park, Glen Innes, (Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board) and Glen Eden (Waitākere Ranges Local Board).
18. The proposed multi-premises lease will allow for a more flexible optimization of the network while retaining local boards delegated authority.
19. This proposal was developed in consultation with the Arts Community and Events Department, Legal Services, and Corporate Finance and Property and in close working relationship with the Bureaux.
20. The local board can alternatively choose not to adopt the proposed recommendation, where its respective Bureaux will be omitted from the multi-premises agreement and managed as individual leases. The multi-premises agreement can still be entered into by supporting local boards and progressed without the participation of all, though this would significantly reduce the efficiencies to be gained by the approach.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
21. The recommendations within this report fall within the local board’s allocated authority relating to local, recreation, sport and community facilities.
22. Local Board budgets will be affected by the proposed change to rental and operational fees. However, the change is related to asset-based service budgets and does not need to be topped up by individual LDI funding for local boards showing a negative effect. Conversely, Local Boards receiving more revenue will not have ability to spend the additional funds showing in their accounts. Budgets will be adjusted at the first review in August to manage this.
23. A portfolio meeting has been held with most local boards and they were presented with the proposal for a multi-premises community lease. General acceptance of the approach for a multi-premises lease was indicated and no concerns were raised.
24. There are no local board risks identified for the proposal as it allows for a more networked and flexible management of the premises while retaining local boards delegated authority.
25. The SRA supports the achievement of the following 2014-2017 Local Board Plan priorities:
· Communities are empowered and plan for their own futures
Māori impact statement
26. Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its broader legal obligations to Māori. The council recognises these responsibilities are distinct from the Crown’s Treaty obligations and fall within a local government Tāmaki Makaurau context. These commitments are articulated in the council’s key strategic planning documents the Auckland Plan, the Long-term Plan 2012-2022, the Unitary Plan and Local Board Plans.
27. Support for Maori initiatives and outcomes is detailed in Te Toa Takitini, Auckland Council’s Maori Responsiveness Framework. An aim of community leasing is to increase targeted support for Maori community development projects. Additionally it seeks to improve access to facilities for Maori living in the local board area.
Implementation
28. The multi-premises community lease will outline consistent terms and conditions for each of the Bureaux
29. There are no significant cost implications for Auckland Council.

Auckland Council Governing Body – ACABx Relationship
This strategic relationship is between ACABx and Council’s Governing Body, with a focus on ensuring both Council and ACABx have an Auckland wide focus and best practice principles to achieve the most effective and responsive service for the people of Auckland.
The Governing Body (which consists of an elected mayor and 20 councillors) focuses on big picture, region-wide strategic decisions, and it is the Governing Body who holds the decision-making role in relationship to the regional ACABx relationship.
Strategic Relationship Management
Both organisations recognise that many people, at both political, governance and operational levels, will be involved in achieving the goals and priorities that form the basis of this agreement. For clarity, and to facilitate and strengthen the strategic relationship between both organisations, the Community Empowerment Manager for Auckland Council and the Board Chair ACABx are identified as the key people with oversight responsibilities for the successful implementation of this agreement.
Funding
Auckland Council Governing Body has agreed to provide funding through the Long-term Plan 2015-2025. Funding has been agreed for 2016-2018 to support the operation of CABx across Auckland and the agreed work programme.
Funding will be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Funding Agreement attached as Appendix One. The term of this agreement is for two years. A negotiated right of renewal at the completion of this agreement for a period of three years followed by a further three years is conditional on delivery of the agreed biennial work programme for 2016-2018 and approval by the Auckland Council Regional Strategy and Policy Committee.
Relationship between local boards and local CABx
Local boards are a key part of Auckland's governance, enabling local representation and decision making on behalf of local communities. There are 21 local boards throughout the Auckland region from Rodney to Franklin.
Local boards have a significant and wide-ranging role that spans most council services and activities. Local boards represent their communities, make decisions on local matters including local facilities, provide local leadership and support strong local communities. Local boards provide important local input into region-wide strategies and plans including those of the council-controlled organisations (CCOs).
Relationships between local boards and local CABx are at different stages of development, which reflect their specific local situation. Some local boards have more than one CABx in their area, and some local boards are serviced from their neighbouring local board area. However, the local board is a primary stakeholder in any local CABx. The local board’s role includes decision-making in relation to locations and leasing of community facilities, many of which accommodate local CABx. The local CABx role is to provide local information, advice, referral and client advocacy services to meet the needs of the local community. The intention of this Agreement is to support development of successful long-term local board-local CABx relationships for mutual benefit. There will continue to be different relationships in different local board areas, reflect their specific local context, preferences and priorities.
The process for successful collaboration between local boards and local CABx
To fulfil the intent of this strategic relationship agreement the following actions will be undertaken:
· To promote information sharing, local CABx will report to their relevant local board on a quarterly basis on service usage and other matters of interest (emerging trends and local issues). This may be done as a cluster in a local board area. The expectation is that as part of this reporting process local bureau will give an annual presentation at a local board meeting at least once a year.
· To develop and maintain the relationship between local boards and local CABx, regular meetings will be set up for the purpose of sharing emerging trends. The frequency and format of those meetings should be agreed with the local board Chair and/or the local board portfolio lead.
· Regular meetings will provide for CABx to contribute to empowering and enabling communities and improve service delivery.
· Each local board – local CABx will focus on relationship development and implementation will be designed to build on local strengths and successes and respond to the specific needs of the local area and its community.
The key outputs of successful collaboration between local boards and local CABx
The key outputs of a successful collaboration include:
§ Reporting to local boards e.g. on service usage and other matters of interest
§ Informal updates and check-ins
§ Opportunities to provide input into future local community development and CABx service development
§ Opportunities for co-location or location in Auckland Council-owned facilities.
Each local board – local CABx relationship development and implementation will be designed to build on local strengths and successes and respond to the specific needs of the local area and its community.
Auckland Libraries’ Relationship with ACABx
Local libraries and local CABx have good established relationships. Libraries provide access to information, CABx provide facilitated access to information and unique advice tailored to the situation of the client. The intention of this agreement is to strengthen and develop relationships between Auckland Libraries and ACABx in order to strengthen areas for working together.
This will include:
Twice-yearly meetings, incorporated into the general meeting schedule, will include a senior manager in Libraries and an ACABx representative to share information, build relationships, and develop effective mechanisms for addressing matters over which the services need to co-operate, particularly within co-located facilities. It is expected that local libraries via the Community Library Manager will also be in relationship with their local CABx.
Reporting
As part of each organisation’s annual planning process, elected/board members and staff of both organisations will come together for a workshop each year. This workshop will be an opportunity to discuss shared issues and projects related to the setting of forthcoming work programmes.
Regular meetings (four to six annually) will be held to support the joint relationship and achievement of the shared work programme. These meetings will focus on:
§ Reviewing progress against the work programme, including timeframes, outcomes and resourcing
§ Sharing information, issues and opportunities and ensuring delivery of the shared work programme
§ General relationship strengthening
§ Celebrating successes
Conflict Management
Both organisations are committed to address any issues that may arise by communicating honestly and openly and at an early stage.
However, if necessary, the Chief Executive of Auckland Council and the ACABx Board Chair, or their delegates, agree to meet and work through any serious issue or conflict in a sensible and practical manner.
If a resolution is not reached via this process, both parties will participate in mediation with a mutually acceptable mediator appointed if necessary by the Chairperson of LEADR NZ Inc. (Lawyers Engaged in Alternative Dispute Resolution).
Evaluation
Both organisations are committed to evaluate and review performance, not only in terms of shared work programmes (via achievement of key milestones and outcomes noted in the shared work programme), but also the effectiveness of this relationship agreement. The latter evaluation will be built into the annual workshop between both organisations and a broader biennial relationship review undertaken as part of the development process of any further agreement between the parties.
Schedule 3. Biennial Work Priority Areas
· Shared Outcomes and Key Work Priority Areas
As noted in this strategic relationship agreement, the Auckland CABx and local councils have worked together for many years and both organisations acknowledge the contribution that each has made.
This agreement reflects a partnering way of working, which is also reflected in the biennial work priority areas with key resourcing to support shared projects over the two-year period identified in Auckland Council’s Long-term Plan 2015-2025 and ACABx Strategic Plan.
Work Priority Areas for the 2016-2018 period include:
§ Partnering –clarifying the Council-ACABx relationship framework in practice
§ Annual work programme development–refining the annual joint programme of work that will progress our shared outcomes
§ Policy development–enabling a process for ACABx to contribute to council’s social policy development
Additional priorities can be incorporated to the biennial work programme, providing there is shared agreement and careful consideration of resourcing implications.
