Comments

Monthly Overview

The Strand, Onetangi Resoultion

4. Auckland Transport was asked to respond to the following resolution:

Notice of Motion - Local decision-making and visitor growth

Resolution number WHK/2016/1

MOVED by Chairperson PA Walden, seconded by Deputy Chairperson R Ballard:

That the Waiheke Local Board:

b) request Auckland Transport commence a road stopping process for the road reserve located on The Strand, Onetangi, and the resulting parcel of land classified as local purpose public utility reserve and the existing toilet block asset be managed by Local and Sports Parks department.

CARRIED

5. Auckland Transport has investigated the option of stopping the section of road mentioned.

6. Auckland transport regularly audits and determines if land owned by Auckland Transport is required for transport purposes. If land is determined surplus to requirement, it is then offered to Auckland Council at a market value. If there is not requirement from Auckland Council, the land is then offered to adjoining land owners and then the open market.

7. Currently the land in question performs the transport function of providing parking for visitors to the adjacent beach. Therefore this land is not able to be offered to Auckland Council or the open market.

8. The toilet block on the site is owned and maintained by Auckland Council community facilities. This arrangement is not uncommon for legacy sites similar to The Strand. It would be unlikely to occur in any post amalgamation requests for toilets.

9. Auckland Council has provided feedback to say that if this site was to be surplus to transport requirements it does not meet the council specifications for a park or a reserve. The minimum requirement for a park is 1000sm, this site would be approximately 300sm. Also, they do not purchase land smaller than 3000sm.

10. Auckland Council comments that there would not be funding available to purchase this site from the parks budget which would require the funds to purchase to be provided by the local board.

Kennedy Point Whaf Boat Ramp Consent

11. Auckland transport is proposing to extend the Kennedy Point Wharf boat ramp (Attachment A: Kennedy Point Plans) to improve its functionality.

12. The current boat ramp operates as a small high tide abutment ramp, servicing ferry / freight operators as a secondary docking location. Due to its current condition, remedial or temporary works are not considered cost effective and an upgrade is deemed appropriate.

13. The ramp will be widened by 5.1m (to a total width of 10m) and lengthened by 4.8m (to a total length of 18.5m). It will consist of reinforced concrete and result in a widened access (9m wide) onto Donald Bruce Road.

14. Two new fender dolphins will be located between the recreational boat ramp and the newly extended ramp, in order to separate public vessels from commercial vessels. Timber fenders piles and rubber buffers will be attached to the existing wharf.

15. Prior to construction starting Auckland Transport consultation will be undertaken to notify the public (including surrounding properties).

16. Auckland Transport is planning to lodge the resource consent application in mid-December with the ramp to be completed by the middle of 2017.

17. The proposed boat ramp works are part of a comprehensive maintenance and operations plan for Kennedy Point Wharf, Auckland Transport is preparing to present this plan to the Waiheke Local board in the new year.

Matiatia Parking Plan

18. The Board have asked Auckland Transport to review the parking at Matiatia. The current parking layout does not provided enough mobility parks to cater to the demand from the residents of the island. Currently there is no parking provided for users who are not commuters but require parking that enables them to visit Auckland and return within a reasonably short period of time.

19. Auckland Transport attended a workshop with the local board on 5 December where the following was discussed :

· include six additional mobility carparks;

· limit the parking time to 24 hours for all mobility parks;

· Charge (at current rate) for mobility parking;

· provide 30 minute small passenger vehicle parking between the hours of 8.00am and 12.00pm;

· implement paid general 30 minute parking between the hours of 12.00pm and 8.00am;

· replace 7 day parking with 24 hour parking;

· install 7 hour parking in lower carpark;

· implement a mix of 24 hour and 48 hour parking at the Owhanake carpark

20. Auckland Transport requires a resolution from the board to progress these changes, Auckland Transport will also consult with the public as part of this process.

Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF)

21. The Waiheke Local Board’s funding allocation under the LBTCF is currently $200,000 per annum. The board has $588,307 available from their Local Board Transport Capital Fund.

Belguim Street Precint Plan

22. Auckland Transport has been asked by the board to investigate and design a solution to the traffic issues in the Belgium Street precinct, including Putiki Road, Wharf Road and Waitai Road. The cost for the investigation and design is $65,000. Auckland Transport has asked Countdown to contribute to this design. Auckland Transport requests that the full amount be committed from the Local Board Transport Capital Fund as there is an urgent requirement to have the consultants on site over the Christmas, New Year period to give the best example of the issues. If there is funding provided by Countdown this will be returned to the boards Local Board Transport Capital Fund budget.

Quarterly Report

23. Attached is the quarterly report up to September 2016. This is a retrospective look at work completed by Auckland Transport regionally and locally.

Waiheke Local Board

15 December 2016

Endorsement of Waiheke and Rakino Subsection of the Hauraki Gulf Islands Waste Plan

File No.: CP2016/23218

Purpose

1. To endorse the Waiheke and Rakino Subsections of the Hauraki Gulf Islands Waste Plan.

Executive summary

2. The goal of the 2012 Waste Management and Minimisation Plan is ‘zero waste by 2040’. In recognition of the unique nature of the Hauraki Gulf Islands, an action in the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan is to create a specific waste plan for the Hauraki Gulf Islands (Waiheke, Rakino, Great Barrier and Kawau).

3. The plan outlines a practical approach

4. h to how waste management on the Hauraki Gulf Islands can support the goal of zero waste. This report requests that the board endorse the Waiheke and Rakino subsections of the Hauraki Gulf Islands Waste Plan (attachment A and B).

Recommendation

That the Waiheke Local Board:

a) endorse the Waiheke and Rakino subsections of the Hauraki Gulf Islands Waste Plan.

Comments

5. The 2012 Waste Management and Minimisation Plan is Auckland’s road map to achieving zero waste by 2040. It focuses on turning ‘waste into resources’, alongside disposer pays for refuse, changes to the service provision of inorganic waste, developing a resource recovery network, implementing the Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund and increasing community knowledge and leadership around waste.

6. The Waste Management and Minimisation Plan acknowledges the unique nature of the Hauraki Gulf Islands through an action to develop a specific plan for the Hauraki Gulf that reflects the aspirations of the local community, and mana whenua. The Hauraki Gulf Islands Waste Plan (the plan) outlines the management of the following waste streams:

· household and business refuse and recycling;

· food waste and green waste (organic waste);

· inorganic material such as building demolition material and household items; and

· marine and boat user refuse.

7. The Plan guides the strategic direction of refuse transfer stations, landfills, and resource recovery centres. It also has strong focus on encouraging behavior change, supporting waste minimisation education, and fostering innovative solutions.

Waiheke Subsection

8. The plan includes a specific subsection relating to Waiheke – draft appended as attachment A to this report. The Waiheke section of the plan outlines key waste statistics for the island, sets the context for community engagement and identifies community priorities and key waste goals for the island.

9. A key focus of the Waiheke subsection is supporting community-driven on-island solutions towards zero waste, which will also reduce the high cost of providing waste services. To meet this objective, the plan includes the following as key waste goals for the island;

· community engagement and behaviour change to reduce waste to landfill

· increase recycling and reuse of materials on Waiheke;

· establish a community recycling centre by 2020;

· all of Waiheke’s green and food waste is composted, using on island solutions and maximising local economic development opportunities;

· reduce waste coming on to the island;

· reduce commercial and construction and demolition waste; and

· reduce visitor and boatie waste.

10. Further enabling actions towards a zero waste Waiheke identified by the Waiheke community participants are:

· to agree a process and methodology for presenting waste costs transparently, including the split between household, commercial and visitor tonnage or volume;

· investigate applying a local waste levy for refuse drop-off at the transfer stations to incentivise waste reduction and fund waste reduction activities; and

· ensure ongoing community involvement and participation in waste planning and delivery on Waiheke.

11. Waste service changes signaled over the next three years are:

· a review of the two ‘Throw and Go’ bins at both ferry points and promotion of a ‘pack in pack out’ approach to visitor waste;

· disposer pays for domestic rubbish is proposed to be introduced from 2018/2019 in alignment with the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan;

· a move to fortnightly recycling collection in 2019/2020;

· investigate the feasibility of a comingled public recycling drop-off service at the Transfer Station; and

· a new approach to on-island inorganic material is being trailed, with the intent to establish a community recycling centre by 2020.

12. Current waste collection contracts are in place until 30 June 2019. No substantial changes to refuse and recycling will occur before then.

Rakino Subsection

13. The plan includes a specific subsection relating to Rakino – draft appended as attachment B to this report. The Rakino section of the plan outlines key waste statistics, community interests and priorities, and key waste goals for the island.

14. A key focus for the Rakino subsection is to foster on-island solutions and effective handling of waste to ensure it remains free of animal pests such as rats. To meet these objectives, the plan includes the following as key waste goals for the island:

· investigate options for disposer pays for rubbish on Rakino;

· everybody composting their food and green waste;

· divert recyclables from landfill and reduce cross contamination of recyclables;

· develop local uses for cardboard;

· work together to divert reusable inorganic materials from landfill; and

· tailored community education and ongoing support for community action and solutions.

15. The key waste change being signaled for Rakino is to investigate the potential for the introduction of disposer pays from 2018/2019. All other services will be unchanged.

Consideration

16. Engagement with mana whenua, local communities and local boards has informed the objectives and development of the plan.

17. The waste goals and actions for the Waiheke subsection was led by a small group of Waiheke residents involved in community-led waste initiatives on this island. Resourcing was provided by council to help develop this content. A new partnership called the Island Waste Collective was created to manage this process and engage the community. A steering group was established consisting of local organisations, people involved in developing Essentially Waiheke, Local Board elected members and council staff. A number of workshops were held with key stakeholders representing diverse views and expertise.

18. Information to inform the development of the Rakino subsection was drawn from a meeting with representatives from the Rakino Ratepayers Association and contractor information.

Local board views and implications

19. An initial briefing was given to the Waiheke Local Board prior to the development of the Hauraki Islands Waste Plan. Local Board representatives were also involved in attending steering group meetings in the development of the Waiheke subsection led by Waiheke Resources Trust, a member of the Island Waste Collective. In addition the board has discussed approaches to waste management and minimisation, particularly in regards to the removal of the waste subsidy and options for reducing the cost of waste services on the island.

20. The board has been a strong advocate and supporter of community-led on-island waste minimisation initiatives. The board has also supported a number of waste minimisation initiatives through its discretionary budget.

21. The Hauraki Gulf Islands Waste Plan aligns with the Waiheke Local Board plan outcome: Treasured Islands, Coastlines, Wetlands and Marine Areas. It serves to address the board’s commitment to support local waste minimisation initiatives.

Māori impact statement

22. There are a number of iwi with mana whenua connections to the Hauraki Gulf and who have a role and responsibility to exercise kaitiakitanga, in accordance with their kawa and protocols. This role is to sustain the mauri of the natural environment for current and future generations. A key to enabling kaitiakitanga is to ensure mana whenua representation at decision making tables. The following bodies have tangata whenua or mana whenua representation to the Hauraki Gulf Islands in Auckland: the Hauraki Gulf Forum, Sea Change – Hauraki Gulf Marine Spatial Plan and Council’s Infrastructure and Environmental Services Mana Whenua Forum.

23. In the development of the Hauraki Gulf Islands Waste Plan there were presentations and discussion with members at the Hauraki Gulf Forum and also Council’s Infrastructure and Environmental Services Mana Whenua Forum.

24. On Waiheke members of Piritahi Marae were consulted via the community engagement process led by the Island Waste Collective. It has been reported that they support community waste management and minimisations solutions for Waiheke.

Implementation

25. When completed in December 2016, the final plan will form part of the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan. It will be reviewed in 2018 part of the review of the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan.

26. As the plan is a subsection of the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan, budgets for all implementation are available in the Long-term Plan 2015-2025. Funding for waste minimisation projects is also available through the Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund.

File No.: CP2016/24608

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 Waiheke Local Board:

a) agrees indicative locally driven initiative allocations for 2017/2018 (Attachment A).

b) agrees key advocacy issues.

c) recommends local targeted rate proposals (if any) for consultation.

d) recommends business improvement district targeted rates (if any) for consultation.

e) adopts local content for consultation (Attachment B).

f) 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.
