Papakura Local Board

14 December 2016

New Road Name Approval for the residential subdivision by Equinox Capital Limited at 61 Grove Road, Papakura

File No.: CP2016/24464

Purpose

1. The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Papakura Local Board, for one new road name for a private road created by way of a joint subdivision and land use consent at 61 Grove Road, Papakura.

Executive summary

2. Auckland Council has road naming guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming for the Auckland Council.

3. Following assessment against the road naming criteria, the road names ‘Riroriro Close’ (applicant’s preferred road name), and alternative name ‘Cordyline Close’ was determined to meet the road naming guideline criteria.

4. Ten local iwi groups have been contacted for comment. Four responses were received with three supporting the names and one yet to advise their position.

5. The road names ‘Riroriro Close’ proposed by the Applicant and the name ‘Cordyline Close, are considered for approval by the Local Board.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, considers for approval, the road name “‘Riroriro Close”, proposed by the Applicant, for the new road created by way of joint subdivision and land use consent at 61 Grove Road, Papakura while noting that ‘Cordyline Close also meets the road naming criteria.

6. The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allow that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name for the Local Board’s approval.

7.The Applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for the new private road created as part of the development at 61 Grove Road, Papakura. Preference

Proposed New Road Name

Meaning

Preferred Name

Riroriro Close

Riroriro is Te Reo for the Grey Warbler. Using a bird name is consistent with the naming convention already utilised within the subdivision ie Stitchbird, Bellbird, Warbler and Saddleback (see location diagram below).

First Alternative

Cordyline Close

Plant found within the subdivision as part of planting plan.

Second Alternative

Jacaranda Close

Plant found within the subdivision as part of planting plan.

Third Alternative

White Birch Close

Plant found within the subdivision as part of planting plan.

Figure One: Location and Layout of the new private road (marked as Road 5)

Decision Making

8. The Auckland Council, by way of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (2012 - 2022), allocated the responsibility for the naming of new roads, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, to Local Boards.

Assessment

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

10. Of the road names proposed by the Applicant, all meet the criteria of the road naming guidelines except for Jacaranda and White Birch. There is a Jacaranda Avenue in Beach Haven and therefore Jacaranda is not considered an appropriate road name. The guidelines also suggest short names for short roads and thus White Birch is considered too long for a road servicing only 9 dwellings.

11. The proposed suffix ‘Close’ is appropriate for Road 5 as the road is a short enclosed road servicing a limited number of houses.

12. As the Applicant’s preferred name ‘Riroriro Close’ meets the criteria, it is recommended for consideration for approval while noting that the alternate name ‘Cordyline Close is also appropriate as it complies with all the criteria of the road naming guidelines.

Consideration

Significance of Decision

13. The decision sought from the Papakura Local Board for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the community.

Maori impact statement

14. The decision sought from the Papakura Local Board on this report is linked to the Auckland Plan Outcome, “A Maori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world”. The use of Maori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Maori identity.

Consultation

15. Ten local iwi groups (Ngai ki Tamaki, Ngati Tamaoho, Te Akitai, Makaurau Marae, Te Rangatu, Ngati Paoa, Ngati Maru, Ngaati Whanaunga, Ngati Tamatera and Tainui) were e-mailed by the applicant on 23 September, 2016. Responses were received from four iwi groups. Makaurau Marae stated ‘Te Ahiwaru defers to Ngati Tamaoho, Ngati Te Ata and Ngati Paoa”. Ngati Tamaoho responded “supporting the use of Kereru, Kokako and Riroriro”. Ngati Te Ata “supports the use of names of native birds as grove names”. Ngai Tai ki Tamaki indicated that the proposal was going before their Cultural Committee for consideration. Unfortunately, no further response has been received from Ngai Tai ki Tamaki at time of writing of this report.

16. Consultation has been undertaken with NZ Post who has accepted the two road names proposed by the Applicant.

Financial and Resourcing Implications

17. The cost of processing the approval of the proposed new road name and any installation of road name signage is recoverable in accordance with Council’s Administrative Charges.

Legal and Legislative Implications

18. The decision sought from the Papakura Local Board for this report is not considered to have any legal or legislative implications.

Implementation

19. The Resource Consenting Team is involved in ensuring that appropriate road name signage will be installed accordingly once an approval is obtained for the new road name.

3. See below for a financial update of expenditure against the Local Board Capital Fund as at the 23rd of November 2016.

Papakura Train Station Park and Ride

4. Auckland Transport is looking at ways to extend one of its busiest park and ride facilities at Papakura Railway Station. The extension is to cope with the large jump in numbers of people using the southern rail line. Passenger growth for the past six months is 19 percent.

5. Traditional park and rides are expensive because they rely on buying land so a number of options were being looked at including the use of pre-fabricated steel decking.

6. Auckland Transport is still in the early stages of investigating a trial for Papakura and there are still a number of issues to be worked through like design and traffic assessments for the site.

7. An engineering study (including assessment of geotechnical issues) isdue for completion just prior to Christmas. An update on feasibility and timing will be provided to the board in the new year.

Upcoming projects and activities

General Information Items

Southern New Network swings into action

12. One of the biggest changes in Auckland’s bus operations swung into action in South Auckland on 30 October with the launch of the southern New Network. A change of this scale has not been seen in Auckland before and it has been a massive effort.

13. A key feature of the changes is the introduction of three frequent bus routes which operate on key routes at least every 15 minutes, 7am to 7pm, 7 days a week.

14. Informing customers of the changes and getting them ready for day one has meant a busy few months for Auckland Transport. The public campaign included delivering an information pack and bus timetables to 119,000 letterboxes, holding 20 information events helping customers plan their journeys and posters at about 500 bus stops reaching 93% of passenger boardings.

15. Implementation of the New Network for other areas of Auckland will follow in phases.

16. Key facts on the Southern New Network include:

· 39 routes, simplified from 52

· Over 300 new or relocated bus stops

· 1,292 bus stops in use within South Auckland on 30 October

For more information on the New Network visit https://at.govt.nz/projects-roadworks/new-public-transport-network/new-network-for-south-auckland/

Child weekend fares

17. With the introduction of the Simpler Fares system, children 5-15 years travelling on an AT HOP card can travel on buses and trains on weekends and during public holidays for 99 cents.

18. Parents simply need to load a child concession on the AT HOP card. You can make up to five bus or train trips over a four hour period with up to 30 minutes between each trip.

19. 99 cent child weekend fares are an opportunity to increase patronage on trains and buses on weekends and on public holidays. For families 99 cent child weekend fares make trains and buses an economical option for day trips and family adventures.

Convenience vending machine trial

20. As part of ongoing efforts to further improve customer amenity and convenience at public transport facilities, Auckland Transport will be conducting a vending machine trial in partnership with Coca-Cola (Branded as Pump) and Sanitarium. The trial will begin in a staggered start from approximately 17 November 2016 and run over a period of six months.

21. As a part of this trial, Auckland Transport will seek to provide customers with a broad range of breakfast, snack and cold drink products to choose from, while promoting healthier choices. This will be achieved by ensuring that healthy options benefit from high visibility and dominate the range of products on offer.

22. Nine rail stations across the network will be involved in this trial; Grafton, Manukau, Manurewa, Mt Albert, New Lynn, Newmarket, Otahuhu, Panmure and Puhinui. Following the successful outcome of this trial, an open Request For Proposal process will be held to identify network wide partners to provide a longer term offering.

A new Otahuhu Station

23. Auckland’s newest transport centre at Otahuhu Station was opened on Saturday 29 October.

24. Completing the construction of the new station is a major milestone for Auckland Transport with the $28 million project being funded by Auckland Council and the New Zealand Transport Agency.

25. The station is pivotal to the new transport network in south Auckland, which sees frequent bus services on key routes running at least every 15 minutes, 7am to 7pm, seven days a week. The buses will deliver commuters to stations like Otahuhu to continue their trip by train or on another bus.

26. Benefits of the new Otahuhu Station include:

· A high-quality, modern facility, with architecture reflecting local and historical narratives

· Better connectivity between bus and rail networks

· Covered bus platforms for passengers moving between bus and train services

· Improved facilities and access for cyclists and pedestrians

· Clear, safe separation of buses, trains, pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles.

Media Releases

Dutch cycling experts visit Auckland

28. International cycling experts from the Dutch Cycling Embassy have given Auckland’s growing cycle network the seal of approval – particularly the pink Lightpath and the waterfront route.

29. The Embassy is a not-for-profit network of organisations, committed to promoting cycling throughout the world. While in Auckland in early November, the Embassy gave a presentation to a packed audience, held a workshop with Auckland Transport staff and went on a bike ride with three Auckland councillors.

30. The director of the Dutch Cycling Embassy said that before the Netherlands built its extensive cycle infrastructure, the country was a dangerous place to ride. But following the oil crisis more people started cycling and demanded better infrastructure. While the country made some mistakes in building that infrastructure, it means others can learn from those mistakes. The Embassy is very happy to review and give feedback on Auckland Transport cycling proposals sent to them.

31. It was also announced on 21 November that Auckland’s pink Lightpath (Te Ara I Whiti) was the winner of the transport category at the World Architecture Festival annual awards in Berlin. The pink Lightpath, which was built by connecting a new bridge to the unused Nelson Street motorway off-ramp, beat projects in Sweden, Chicago, Denmark and Taiwan to take out the ‘Transport – Completed Building’ category.

Foundation work begins on the Manukau bus station canopy

32. On the week beginning 15 November, Auckland Transport and NZ Strong started work on the foundations for the canopy that will cover the pedestrian crossing between the Manukau Train Station/MIT building and the new Manukau Bus Station.

33. The foundation work is expected to be completed by the middle of 2017. As part of the work a new sewer main is also being installed.

34. The $35 million project is being delivered by Auckland Transport and is funded by Auckland Council and the Government through the NZTA. The bus station is expected to open in the second quarter of 2018.

35. For more information, visit at.govt.nz/manukaustation

Changes coming for Britomart station users

36. Downtown train users returning from their Christmas break in January will find the current Queen Street entrances for the Britomart Transport Centre closed and new entrances created for Britomart station.

37. The Chief Post Office building, which houses the present entrances at Britomart, is closing for strengthening works prior to the City Rail Link (CRL) tunnels being constructed.

38. To catch a train from downtown, passengers will need to use a new entrance in Commerce Street, behind Queen Street. Access will be available from Tyler Street, Galway Street and the Takutai Square (eastern entrance). The new temporary entrance will operate for the next three years.

39. Auckland Transport assures passengers that all trains and timetables will run as usual. Britomart will remain operational throughout the construction work.

40. When completed, the City Rail Link project will mean more frequent trains across the network, more direct services to the city centre and will double the number of people who can use trains at peak times. The CRL will also provide opportunities for new commercial, residential and retail developments, particularly around the stations.

Special Exemption (Section 6) Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987

File No.: CP2016/24696

Purpose

1. To seek a decision on the applications for special exemption from some of the requirements of the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987 (the Act) by the Rodney Local Board.

Executive Summary

2. Applications for an exemption for swimming or spa pools have been received from the owners of:

· 55 Brylee Road, Conifer Grove, Takanini

3. The applications do not comply with the Act. Pool inspectors have inspected the properties and consulted with the applicants. Full assessment reports are attached to this report.

4. The local board must now resolve to grant, grant subject to conditions or decline the exemptions sought.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board :

a) grant the application for special exemption as sought for 55 Brylee Road, Conifer Grove, Takanini, with the following conditions:

i. the current bell and sign remain in place.

ii. the pool gate is kept locked.

iii. the owners take responsibility for who can gain entry into the pool area.

Comments

Background

5. Auckland Council pool inspectors have inspected each property for which an application for special exemption from the Act has been received. In each case, the swimming pool fencing does not comply with the Act. The details of the non-compliance are specified in the attachments to this report.

6. The council’s pool inspectors have consulted with the applicants in each case. The applicants have been made aware of the council’s requirements to ensure fencing is compliant with the Act and they have chosen to seek a special exemption from those requirements.

Legislative implications

7. Compliance with the Act is a mandatory requirement for all pool owners unless exemptions are granted by the local board.

8. The Act requires pool owners to fence their pool, or all or some of the immediate pool area including the pool itself. Specific detail on this is contained in the schedule to the Act. If a pool does not have a complying fence it is an offence under the Act, unless exempt.

9. An exemption can only be granted by the local board after a consideration of the particular characteristics of the property and the pool, other relevant circumstances and taking into account any conditions it may impose. Then, only if “satisfied that an exemption would not significantly increase the danger to young children”, can an exemption be granted.

10. The definition of the immediate pool area, which is “the land in or on which the pool is situated and as much of the surrounding area that is used for activities or purposes related to the use of the pool”, is a key consideration for granting an exemption.

11. Where a building forms part of the pool fence and there are doors opening into the pool area, the local board may grant an exemption from compliance with clauses 8 and 10 of the schedule to the Act. It may exempt if it is satisfied that compliance with the Act is impossible, unreasonable or in breach of any other Act, regulation or bylaw and the door is fitted with a locking device that when properly operated prevents the door from being readily opened by children under the age of six years.

12. When granting a special exemption the local board may impose reasonable conditions relating to the property or the pool or reflecting other relevant circumstances. These may include:

a) Making the exemption personal to the applicant so that on a sale of the property a new owner will need to apply for a new exemption

b) Granting the exemption for a fixed term irrespective of changes of ownership

13. Any exemption granted or condition imposed may be amended or revoked by the local board by resolution. The rules of natural justice would however dictate that this action should not be taken without informing the pool owner and giving them the opportunity to be heard.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

14. Local boards have delegated authority to approve exemptions to the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act.

Before making an exemption, the local board must consider:

· the particular characteristics of the property and the pool

· any other relevant circumstances

· conditions it may be necessary to impose.

15. The local board must also be satisfied that the exemption would not significantly increase the danger to young children.

16. The local board may resolve to grant, grant subject to conditions, or decline the application for special exemption.

17. If the application is declined the applicant will be required to fence the pool in accordance with the Act.

Maori impact statement

18. There are no particular impacts on Maori that are different from those of other pool owners.

Implementation

19. The decision must be made by resolution.

The Schedule of Meetings of the Pukekiwiriki Paa Joint Management Committee for 2017

File No.: CP2016/24743

Purpose

1. To propose a regular quarterly meeting during the 2017 calendar year of the Pukekiwiriki Paa Joint Management Committee

Executive summary

2. The Pukekiwiriki Paa Reserve Joint Management Plan (“the plan”) was prepared by the former Papakura District Council and Te Roopu Kaitiaki o Papakura (the “plan partners”) and contains long-term objectives and detailed implementation actions for the effective management of Pukekiwiriki Paa Historic Reserve.

3. The plan was adopted by Papakura District Council on 11 May 2010 following a public process which began in June 2008. The plan was approved pursuant to the provisions of section 41(1) of the Reserves Act 1977 and to a delegation from the Minister of Conservation. A joint management agreement was adopted by the plan partners on 28 September 2010. The plan was reviewed and amended in 2013.

4. One of the plan’s objectives is to ensure that mana whenua and council work together in partnership to manage the reserve. To give effect to this objective and implement the plan, the joint management agreement established the Pukekiwiriki Paa Joint Management Committee (Committee) comprising equal membership from the local board and mana whenua, which have delegated powers and responsibilities as resolved by the Papakura Local Board on 29 January 2014.( PPK/2014/9).

5. The delegated powers and responsibilities of the Committee are:

· Determining the priorities for implementing the Pukekiwiriki Paa Reserve Management Plan

· Managing the implementation actions of the Plan

· Monitoring the progress of implementation of the Plan

· Monitoring the effects of implementation on the land

Papakura Local Board Events Support Fund 2016/2017

File No.: CP2016/24230

Purpose

1. To reallocate a portion of unspent funds from the Events Support Fund towards the Manukau Beautification Trust’s Eye On Nature event.

Executive summary

2. The local board’s Events Support Fund budget for 2016/2017 allocated funding to the Papakura Fireworks event. That event has been cancelled, and the board has the opportunity to reallocate funding previously allocated to the event.

3. The Manukau Beautification Trust submitted a request through the contestable grants process for funding to support their Eye on Nature event. This event was unable to be considered through the grants process due to the Trust being a council controlled organisation. The board can consider whether to fund this event using the unallocated Events Support funding.

4. Staff recommend funding the Eye On Nature event, as it supports local board priorities. Alternative options are to retain the funding for future requests or to reallocate it to other local board priorities.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) reallocate events support funding of $2,000 to the Manukau Beautification Trust towards the delivery cost of the Eye on Nature event.

Comments

Events Support Fund 2016/2017

5. Through the local board Events Support Fund, the Papakura Local Board supports annually delivered events which align with the local board’s priority of ‘a strong, safe and healthy community’.

6. The Papakura Fireworks Event, run by the Lions Club of Papakura, was approved for events support funding in 2016/2017. The event has been cancelled, as the planned venue was not available. Staff notified the local board of this cancellation via memo on 27 September 2016.

7. Of the $27,000 previously allocated to the fireworks event, the local board has currently allocated $2,500 to an Armistice Day event. The table below demonstrates the funding available.

Underspend from Papakura Fireworks Event cancellation
Total underspend previously allocated to Papakura Fireworks Event	$27,000
Allocated via urgent decision process for Armistice Day event	$2,500
Amount available for allocation	$24,500

Options for reallocating the Events Support Fund underspend

8. In considering how to re-allocate the underspend, the board have a number of options. These are outlined in the table below.

Option	Advantages	Disadvantages
Fund Eye On Nature event $2,000	Allocates funding in line with LB outcome. Allows funding for events not supported through contestable grants process.	Less funds remain to respond to future opportunities this financial year.
Retain for future unbudgeted events	Retains capability to respond to emerging opportunities in remainder of financial year.	Returns to savings if unspent/ opportunity does not arise.
Allocate funding to contestable funding scheme	Allocated using clear criteria, uses existing processes – no new process infrastructure.	Can’t support Eye on Nature which doesn’t meet criteria of that scheme.
Reallocate elsewhere to meet other LB priorities	Local board exercises discretion over use of funds to strengthen its priorities.	Does not specifically support community outcomes through events.

Eye on Nature funding request

9. Eye on Nature is an environmental education event held annually at the Auckland Botanic Gardens. The 2017 event will run from 28 March to 1 April 2017 and will include three school-only days from 28-30 March, concluding with a free family day on Saturday 1 April.

10. The event promotes the value of kaitiakitanga, aiming to make all attendees and participants more environmentally aware and responsible. It also showcases arts, culture and music through environmental initiatives.

11. The event has previously received event funding and holds several contracts for service with Auckland Council. Environmental organisations from around New Zealand partner with the Trust to host the event.

12. Earlier this year, the Manukau Beautification Trust applied for $2,000 through local grant funding to support Eye on Nature operational costs. The local board declined to accept the application due to the Trust’s status as a council controlled organisation (CCO). (Inland Revenue New Zealand requires CCOs to enter into a service contract arrangement rather than receiving funding through a grant due to tax issues.)

13. The Trust has requested that the local board consider funding the event outside of the contestable grants process.

14. Two other local boards are supporting the Eye on Nature event this year; Manurewa Local Board has allocated $12,000 and Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board $5,000.

Recommended option:

15. The Eye On Nature event contributes to local board priorities for ‘strong, safe and healthy communities’. While other options retain funding for future potential events that may arise, staff consider that the Eye on Nature event presents a strong opportunity that warrants funding now.

16. Once funding for Eye On Nature is allocated, there is still sufficient funding in the budget to respond to other opportunities if they do emerge. Leaving the funding unallocated creates a risk that the funding is not invested in the community before financial year end.

17. Staff recommend the local board allocate $2,000 of currently unallocated Events Support funding to the Eye on Nature event.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

18. Staff updated the Papakura Local Board on the Events Support Fund and the options available for reallocation of the funds on 22 November 2016.

19. The Eye on Nature funding request aligns with Local Board priorities and outcomes.

Māori impact statement

20. The Eye on Nature event does not specifically target Māori groups. However, the event does target values significant to Māori such as kaitiakitanga through promoting environmental responsibility.

Implementation

21. Following confirmation of funding, the event facilitator will notify the Manukau Beautification Trust of the outcome and work with the funding hub to commence contracting and payment of approved funding.

Annual Budget 2017/2018

File No.: CP2016/24629

Purpose

1. This report requests that local boards consider proposed locally driven initiative (LDI) allocations for 2017/2018, key advocacy issues, and any local targeted rate proposals and business improvement district (BID) targeted rates.

2. It also requests the adoption of local content for consultation as part of the annual budget process.

Executive summary

3. Legislation governing the annual budget process has changed, and there is no longer the requirement to produce a draft annual budget. Instead, the council will be producing a consultation document which will cover:

· any significant or material changes proposed to the Long-term Plan 2015-2025 (LTP)

· content relating to local board agreements.

4. Consultation on the Annual Budget 2017/2018 will take place in February and March of 2017.

5. This report seeks agreement from local boards on their proposed LDI allocations for 2017/2018 and key advocacy issues, recommendations as to any local targeted rate proposals and BID targeted rates and adoption of local content for consultation.

6. These will be considered by the governing body prior to finalising annual budget consultation topics and adoption of the consultation document and supporting information.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) agrees indicative locally driven initiative activity level allocations for 2017/2018 (Attachment A);

b) agrees the following key advocacy issues

i) Funding of the grade separation of Takanini rail crossings, with Walter’s Road as the priority;

ii) Early programming of the Mill Road south extension;

iii) Confirmation of growth funding in 2017/18 for built facilities at Opaheke Sports Fields, to cater for housing growth in the area;

iv) Re-instatement of capex for Pukekiwiriki Paa Joint Management Committee;

v) A regional approach to and investment in coastal erosion and management, including removal of pacific oysters;

vi) Greater investment in safe local paths for walking and cycling;

vii) Ensure that Rings Redoubt on Clevedon Road and the site of the Walsh Brothers first flight in Takanini are scheduled as sites of national heritage importance and their setting fully protected within development through council acquisition of open space

b) adopts local content for consultation (Attachment B);

d) agrees that the chairperson be delegated the authority to make any final minor changes to local consultation content for the Annual Budget 2017/2018 prior to publication, including online consultation content.

Comments

7. As part of the Annual Budget 2017/2018 process, the council will be producing a consultation document. This will cover any significant or material changes proposed to the LTP and content relating to local board agreements.

8. Public consultation will take place in February and March of 2017, and will include information on local board issues and priorities.

9. As such, local boards are requested to agree their indicative LDI allocations for 2017/2018 (see Attachment A) and adopt local content for consultation (see Attachment B).

10. Any new local targeted rates and/or BIDs must be consulted on before they can be implemented. Local boards are therefore also requested to agree any new proposals for consultation.

11. This triennium we are considering a long term approach in respect of local board priorities / advocacy initiatives. Such an approach seeks to better utilise, in an integrated way, the annual budget, LTP and local board plan processes.

12. It is proposed that, as part of the Annual Budget 2017/2018 process, local boards begin narrowing the range of their advocacy initiatives and agree their key advocacy issues for further research and consideration. Council departments will then provide local boards with in depth information to help inform their position on these issues. Based on this information, local boards identify one to two key priorities to develop further in the local board plan process and discuss with the governing body through the next LTP process.

13. This should enable realistic and genuine discussions and engagement between local boards and the governing body.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

14. Local board decisions are being sought in this report.

15. Local boards will have further opportunities to provide information and views as council progresses through the annual budget process.

Māori impact statement

16. Many local board decisions are of importance to and impact on Māori. Local board agreements and the annual budget are important tools that enable and can demonstrate council’s responsiveness to Māori. Local board plans, which were developed in 2014 through engagement with the community including Māori, form the basis of local priorities.There is a need to continue to build relationships between local boards and iwi, and where relevant the wider Māori community. Ongoing conversations will assist local boards and Māori to understand each other’s priorities and issues. This in turn can influence and encourage Māori participation in council’s decision-making processes.

Implementation

17. The governing body will adopt consultation material for the Annual Budget 2017/2018 in early February 2017.

18. Following consultation, a local board agreement with the governing body for 2017/2018 will be developed.

Governance Forward Work Calendar

File No.: CP2016/24756

Purpose

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

Executive Summary

2. This report updates the governance forward work calendar: a schedule of items that will come before the board at business meetings over the next 12 months. The governance forward work calendar for Papakura is included in Attachment A.

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

· ensuring advice on agendas and workshop material is driven by local board priorities

· clarifying what advice is required and when

· clarifying the rationale for reports.

4. The calendar will be updated every month. Each update will be reported back to business meetings and distributed to relevant Council staff. It is recognised that at times items will arise that are not programmed. Board members are welcome to discuss changes to the calendar.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) notes the attached Governance Forward Work Calendar.

Comments

5. The council’s Quality Advice Programme aims to improve the focus, analysis, presentation and timeliness of staff advice to elected representatives. An initiative under this is to develop forward work calendars for governing body committees and local boards. These provide elected members with better visibility of the types of governance tasks they are being asked to undertake and when they are scheduled.

6. Although the document is new, there are no new projects in the governance forward work calendar. The calendar brings together in one schedule reporting on all of the board’s projects and activities previously approved in the local board plan, long-term plan, departmental work programmes and through other board decisions. It includes governing body policies and initiatives that call for a local board response.

7. This initiative is intended to support the boards’ governance role. It will also help staff to support local boards, as an additional tool to manage workloads and track activities across council departments, and it will allow greater transparency for the public.

8. The calendar is arranged in three columns, “Topic”, “Purpose” and “Governance Role”:

· Topic describes the items and may indicate how they fit in with broader processes such as the annual plan

· Purpose indicates the aim of the item, such as formally approving plans or projects, hearing submissions or receiving progress updates

· Governance role is a higher-level categorisation of the work local boards do. Examples of the seven governance categories are tabled on the following page.

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

Summary of Discussions

Papakura Local Board Plan

Presenters:

Karen Gadomski

Shevin Munif Imo

Setting direction/priorities

/budget

The Senior Local Board Advisor gave an overview on the current local board plan outcomes, objectives and initiatives to check whether they were fit for purpose or whether the new board had different priorities.

The board gave the following feedback:

Vibrant Metropolitan Centre

- Town centre security needed to be revisited including the park and ride security. This needed to be discussed with Auckland Transport.

- Board needed to advocate for a multi storey park and ride at the Papakura train station. This is needed now but future growth should also be taken into account.

- Creation of an ‘avenue of culture’ needed to be expanded to “grow the appreciation of art and culture in Papakura.”

- New objective to include working with developers to bring about change in Papakura.

- Need to include redevelopment of the town centre

- Need to consider4 the use of commercial land in Takanini and future development opportunities as part of commercial centre group’s discussions.

- Need to leverage of Papakura’s metropolitan centre’ role

A skilled workforce for local jobs

- Scholarships very successful and fully supported by new board.

- Industrial development in Takanini could also be included in this objective.

- Move “tourism promotion and branding” from being an initiative to an objective.

- What is the status of the new AT signage roll out?

- Sustainability of youth connections scheme needs to be investigated.

- Innovation station – needs to be advanced quickly.

A sports and recreation hub

- Add Hingaia sports ground into the development initiative

- Proceed with masterplan for Opaheke grounds.

- Cycle route needs to be developed around coastline instead of along Great South Road (particularly the dangerous section through Takanini).

- Need to get ATEED involved in sports tourism particularly the need for more visitor accommodation in Papakura.

- Outdoor swimming pool (Olympic sized) in Papakura needs to be brought back up to standard.

- Several park areas need revamping including adaptable facilities for young and old alike.

Well-connected and easy to move around

- Greenways plan – needed quick delivery especially in priority area.

- Auckland transport needs to report to board prior to finalisation of plans.

- AT need to provide sealed parking facilities at Takanini rail station.

- Express trains need to be introduced

- Third line needed to be implemented.

- Parking areas need to be made safe.

- Public transport needed to be easily accessible to all in the community.

- Grade separation needed to be seen as a top priority before more loss of life occurs.

- Government needed to be lobbied to contribute to grade separation.

Treasured for its environment and heritage

- Manukau harbour – keep emphasis on cleaning up.

- Pacific oyster removal needed to be considered.

- Free vegetation dumping needed to be introduced

- Food waste project needs to be revitalised.

- Support recycling initiatives

- Push organisation to deliver on heritage projects in 2017.

- Is there an opportunity for crowd sourcing of project ideas and funding offered accordingly?

Strong, safe and healthy communities

- Ray Small Skate Park – need confirmed delivery dates.

- Smiths Avenue – community led master planning and activation of community space needs to take a comprehensive approach.

- Older generation needs more emphasis too.
