Local & Regional Auckland Transport Projects

Papakura Park & Ride

13.     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.

14.     Results from an engineering study (including assessment of geotech) were completed prior to Christmas.

15.     Currently feasibility of this project is being progressed. The results of the current work should be completed by April 2017.

16.     Once the feasibility is work is completed, the findings of the current work will be workshopped with the local board.

 

Public Transport Safety Upgrades

17.     Auckland Transport is currently undertaking a project to upgrade security at number of stations in the south which include Papakura. This project will involve building new fences, security gates and installing more lights and cameras.

18.     A workshop is to be held on the 22 February to brief the local board on the proposed upgrades.

 

Annual Public Transport Fare Review

19.     Every year Auckland Transport is required to carry out an annual review of all public transport fares. The annual review takes into account the increases in operating costs, cost of living, future investment to maintain and improve transport infrastructure which includes ferry, train and bus infrastructure.

20.     Auckland Transport is also required to meet national targets for fare recovery with the balance subsidised by a combination of rates and taxes.

21.     On 29 January 2017 fares changed. The main changes are summarised below:

·    AT HOP bus and train fares for 1, 2 and 4 Zones increase by 5 cents and 10 cents

·    Cash bus and train fares for 1, 2 and 4 Zones increase by 50 cents

·    AT HOP tertiary student bus and rail fares increase by 4 to 8 cents between 1 and 4 Zones to ensure a consistent discount compared to AT HOP adult fares

·    The AT HOP Monthly Bus and Train Pass increases by $10

 

Roads and Streets Framework (RASF) and Transport Design Manual (TDM)

22.     Auckland Transport is reviewing the Auckland Transport Code of Practice (ATCOP) with the resulting outcome is its replacement with:

·    A ‘Roads and Streets Framework’ – That will guide decision-making in the road corridor to provide a better balance between local place-making and transport movement functions and priorities.

·    A ‘Transport Design Manual’ – That provides technical direction about design standards.

23.     The aim is to make guidelines for road corridor infrastructure more flexible and responsive to local needs but still maintain high technical standards.

The sub-regional workshops are currently being scheduled for 20/ 27 March 2017. Details will be confirmed shortly and local board invites sent out promptly. 

Walking School Bus Week 27 February 3 March 2017

24.     Early in the school year Auckland Transport publicises walking school buses by running a promotional week. ‘Walking School Bus Week’ involves competitions and events organised for encourage participation for the walking school buses.

25.     Local schools which are involved include Opaheke School and Drury School

Consideration

Local board views and implications

26.     The local boards views will be incorporated during consultation on any proposed schemes.

Implementation

27.     In terms of the Manukau Station project, additional design work is being undertaken for the upgrade of Putney Way. Once that work has been completed, timelines related to the reopening of Putney can be confirmed.

Purpose

1.       To seek approval for a new community lease to Counties Manukau Kindergarten Association for the Nina Busing Kindergarten at 13A Clevedon Road, Papakura.

Executive summary

2.       Community leases are one of the ways in which the council provides support to local community organisations, assisting them to sustain the activities and experiences they provide in alignment with recognised local priorities.

3.       For the recommended lease, a process has been followed which includes a review of the tenant’s performance, that the organisation is sustainable, the services and programmes offered are beneficial to the community and that they align with objectives stated in the Auckland Plan and Papakura Local Board Plan.

4.       Counties Manukau Kindergarten Association owns the buildings and improvements at 13A Clevedon Road (Site Plan - Attachment A). As outlined in the Auckland Council Community Occupancy Guidelines July 2012, groups that own their own buildings have a right to apply for a new lease at the end of their occupancy term. There is no requirement to undertake an expression of interest process.

5.       A Community Outcomes Plan has been agreed to by the group and will be an attachment to the new lease subject to local board approval (Attachment B). The group will report annually against the target performance measures.

6.       It is recommended that a new lease be approved for this group under the terms and conditions specified in the recommendation below.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      Approves a new community ground lease for Counties Manukau Kindergarten Association Incorporated (Nina Busing Kindergarten) for 13A Clevedon Road, Papakura (outlined in green in Attachment A) under the following terms and conditions:

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Papakura Local Board, for new road names for three private ways created by way of subdivision at 250 Porchester Road, Takanini.

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 ‘Puniga Lane’, ‘Pupahi Lane’ ,‘Diggings Lane’,‘Huke Lane’, ‘Digger Lane’, ‘Repo Lane’, Fuselage Lane’,  ‘Avionics Lane’ and ‘Vivian Walsh Lane’ were determined to meet the road naming guideline criteria.

4.       Consultation with Iwi was undertaken in 2013 prior to the submission of the original 61 names that were considered by the Papakura Local Board at their meeting of 19 February 2014.

5.       The road names “Puninga Lane, Huke Lane and Fuselage Lane” (preferred by the Applicant) and the names “Pupahi Lane’ ,‘Diggings Lane’, ‘Digger Lane’ . ‘Repo Lane’, ‘Avionics Lane’ and ‘Vivian Walsh Lane 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 names Puninga Lane”, “Huke Lane”, and “Fuselage Lane” proposed by the Applicant, for the three private ways created by way of subdivision at Block 15, Block 15, and Block 26 of 250 Porchester Road, Takanini  while noting that the alternative names ‘Pupahi Lane’ ,‘Diggings Lane’, ‘Digger Lane’, ‘Repo Lane’, ‘Avionics Lane’ and ‘Vivian Walsh Lane’ also meet the road naming criteria.

 

 

Comments

6.       The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allowed 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 three private ways created as part of the development at 250 Porchester Road, Takanini.  The names are consistent with the themes of Early Aviation, Early Settlers, and Gum Digging which have been developed for the area.

Consultation

14.     As part of the road naming process (2013) for the original Addisons subdivision area, the Applicant submitted a list of 61 names, based around the themes of Early Aviation, Early Settlers, Gum Digging and Maori Shellfish. That list included all the names being proposed under this report.  Due to the requirement of the Papakura legacy road naming policy (effective at that time) to consult with Iwi where Maori names are proposed, the Applicant undertook significant consultation with tangata whenua, being Ngati Tamaoho Trust, Te Ara Rangatu o te Iwi Ngati Te Ata, Ngati Paoa Trust Board, Ngai Tai Ki Tamaki Tribal Trust and Te Akitai Waiohua Iwi Authority. A workshop was held on 17 September 2013 involving representatives of Ngati Tamaoho Trust, Te Ara Rangatu o te Iwi Ngati Te Ata and Te Akitai Waiohua Iwi Authority.

15.     The proposed road names were reviewed by New Zealand Post and no concerns were raised.

Papakura Local Board Event Partnership Fund Funding Reallocation 2016/2017

 

File No.: CP2017/00670

 

  

 

Purpose

1.   To reallocate unspent funds from the Events Partnership Fund to the remaining Quick Response and Local Grant contestable rounds.

Executive summary

2.   The Papakura Local Board Events Partnership Fund for 2016/2017 allocated funding to the Papakura Fireworks event.  That event has been cancelled, and the board has the opportunity to reallocate the funding.

3.   Of the $27,000 funding allocated to the Papakura Fireworks event, $22,500 remains available for reallocation.

4.   Two Quick Response and one Local Grants contestable funding rounds are yet to be held in this financial year.

5.   Staff recommend reallocating the unspent funds across the three remaining contestable rounds.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      reallocate unspent events partnership funding of $22,500 to the three remaining 2016/2017 contestable funding rounds;

i)        $5,625 towards the Quick Response Round Three

ii)       $5,625 towards the Quick Response Round Four

iii)      $11,250 towards the Local Grants Round Two

 

Comments

Events Partnership Fund 2016/2017

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

7.   The Papakura Fireworks Event, run by the Lions Club of Papakura, was approved for funding of $27,000 in 2016/2017.  The event was cancelled, as the planned venue was not available. Staff notified the local board of this cancellation via memo on 27 September 2016.

8.   The local board has already reallocated $4,500 (resolution PPK/2016/232) of this funding as shown in the table below leaving $22,500 unallocated.

Unallocated Events Partnership Funding

Funding allocated to Papakura Fireworks Event (now cancelled)

$27,000

Reallocated for Armistice Day event

$2,500

Reallocated for Eye on Nature event

$2,000

Amount available for reallocation

$22,500

 

Options for reallocating remaining funding

9.   The following options are considered:

a)   No reallocation

 If a decision is made not to reallocate the funding, it will remain unspent and represent a missed opportunity to fund activities which support local board plan priorities, or provide an offset to budgets in other areas where expenditure has exceeded budget.

 

b)   Reallocate funding to other local board priorities

The unspent funding presents an opportunity for the local board  to increase spending for the year in other areas. This may allow timing of other projects to be brought forward or for projects identified since the budget was confirmed to be undertaken.

 

c)   Reallocate funding to activities through contestable funding rounds.

 The local board in this case could consider a range of community funding grant requests which support local board plan outcomes through a contestable grants process.

Preferred option

10. In the absence of any identified projects to which the local board would like to increase funding it is recommended that option c) be adopted. This allows for funding to be provided for projects similar to the original purpose of the event fund while maintaining flexibility to fund projects now considered to be a higher priority.

11. Three funding rounds remain for the year which could be used to allocate funding.  A suggested distribution of the funding between the rounds to match expected demand is proposed in the table below

Funding round

Closing date for applications

Local Grants Round Two

28 April 2017

$11,250

Total

 

$22,500

Consideration

Local board views and implications

12. Reallocating the funding across the three remaining rounds allows other local board priorities to be supported.

Māori impact statement

13. The reallocation of funding provides Māori and the wider community with further opportunities to access support for projects and activities that meet local board priorities.

Implementation

14. Following confirmation of reallocation of funding to contestable grant rounds, the Community Grants Team will be advised of the increased amounts available for distribution.

Papakura Local Board Work Stream Allocations and the Appointment of a Local Board Representative on the Aircraft Noise Community Consultative Group for the 2016 - 2019 Triennium

 

File No.: CP2017/01482

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       To adopt the work stream allocations and the accompanying roles and responsibilities for the work stream lead and work stream members and to appoint a local board member to represent the board on the Auckland Airport Aircraft Noise Community Consultative Group for the 2016 – 2019 triennium.

Executive summary

2.       In the 2013 – 2016 electoral term the Papakura Local Board established portfolios which included the appointment of members to lead or oversee activity areas and regularly meet with council staff. The portfolio holders were responsible for overseeing work programmes and progressing relevant advocacy matters.

3.       In preparation for the new electoral term, Local Board Services undertook a review of ways of working and as a result suggested the establishment of ‘programme leads’ which directly align with the activities in the work programme.

4.       In response to that the Papakura local board has considered the recommendations and has developed a set of work streams for the current electoral term.

5.       It is recommended that the local board adopts the work streams and the roles and responsibilities for the work stream lead and the work stream members as set out in this report for the 2016 – 2019 electoral term.

6.       Additionally, a request has been made to appoint a local board representative for the Auckland Airport Aircraft Noise Community Consultative Group. It is recommended that the board will formally make this appointment to ensure the Papakura community is being represented. 

 

 

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      Adopts the work stream allocations as set out in table 1 of this report.

b)      Confirms the roles and responsibilities for the work stream lead and work stream members as set out on this report.

c)      Appoints member <X> to be the Papakura Local Board representative on the Aircraft Noise Community Consultative Group.

 

 

Comments

7.       In the 2013 – 2016 electoral term the Papakura Local Board, together with most other local boards, established ‘portfolios’ which included the appointment of members to lead or oversee work streams and regularly meet with council staff to ensure delivery on the priorities as set out in the local board plan and the underlying work programmes. The portfolio holders in Papakura were responsible for overseeing work programmes and progressing relevant advocacy matters within their respective remits.

8.       There was a wide variety of practice around portfolios amongst local boards, with portfolios varying in number (ranging from 0 to 23), function and the organisational support structure around them. In preparation for the new electoral term, Local Board Services undertook a review of ways of working and as a result suggested the establishment of ‘programme leads’ which directly align with the activities in the work programme.

9.       In November 2016 the board was presented with the recommendations coming out of the review and received further information on the proposed way of working in late November 2016. During further conversations the following work streams were identified:

·           Arts, Culture and Events;

·           Parks, Sports and Recreation;

·           Local Planning and  Economic Development;

·           Transport;

·           Community Facilities, Renewals, Services and Leases;

·           Libraries and Information Services;

·           Infrastructure and Environmental Services.

10.     It was decided that some more work and thinking needed to be done around:

·           The allocation of the work streams to individual local board members;

·           The roles and responsibilities of those work streams; 

·           The roles and responsibilities of the work stream lead, alternate and members.

11.     The current proposal is based on further work that has been undertaken and was discussed at the 1 February 2017 local board workshop. Members present at the workshop indicated their support for the proposal and it was agreed that a formal report would come to the February 2017 business meeting. It is recommended that this new way of working be reviewed 12 months after formal adoption.

How the work streams operate

13.     In order to achieve greater efficiencies whilst effectively delivering the local board’s work programme and projects, Local Board Services has recommended that all local board business goes through workshops to enable collective direction setting with subsequent formal decision making occurring at business meetings. An approach supported by the local, board during discussions in November and December 2016. This approach has followed significant improvements in the way that work programmes are prepared and reported to local boards and the quarterly reporting to directly reflect progress on each work programme item.

14.     Therefore work streams should be treated as an additional mechanism for local board involvement in local projects and services, regional policy and strategy, increasing opportunities for monitoring progress, identifying problems and seeking remedies and should not replace:

·           Decision making at business meetings; or

·           Consultation and engagement with the public and community organisations which all members should be involved in and aware of.

15.     Programmes, projects and ideas being progressed by work stream members will be reported to the full board through workshops enabling all board members to have the opportunity to provide input. It is envisaged that meetings between work stream members and staff are focused on specific objectives, rather than some past practices across local boards where meetings happened as a matter of course.

16.     In addition to work streams, there might be key projects that require additional support direct with staff for set periods of time. This could include but is not limited to the:

·           Commercial & Town Centre Project

·           Greenways planning and implementation

·           Aspects of the Spatial Priority Area

·           Smith’s Avenue Redevelopment

·           Resource Recovery

17.     With regards to the operational support for the work streams the following process is proposed:

·           There is considerable informality in the setting of agendas for any work stream      meetings.  Both work stream members and staff are able to put items on the           agenda for discussion; 

·           Agendas for all work stream meetings will be circulated to all board members for their information;

·           Work stream meetings will be chaired by the work stream lead and in their absence by the alternate; 

·           Any member of the work stream can require any issue relevant to the work stream to be brought to the full board initially at a workshop;

·           Local Board Services staff will be available to support members in meetings with other council staff and external stakeholders where possible and appropriate;

·           Concise, relevant notes will be taken at the meetings by staff, which will be made             available, together with any other supporting material provided at the meeting, to all   members within five working days after the meeting. Such information is to be treated as ‘not for publication’ as it is often in a preliminary format and may be substantially revised before it appears in the public domain on a board agenda. 

Role of the work stream lead

18.     The work stream leads focus is to act as champion, sounding board and driver for the work stream work stream. The role and responsibilities of the work stream lead can therefore be described as follows:

·           Provide work programme oversight for the Board approved work programme within the area of responsibility;

·           Initiate and drive the development of new ideas and initiatives for inclusion in future           work programmes related to the area of responsibility;

·           Provide policy leadership, for instance by leading the development of Local Board            feedback and submissions and oversight of governing body committee activities       relevant to the area of responsibility (including review of agenda papers and           attendance at meetings where desirable);

·           Act as a sounding board and first point of contact for council staff on matters related to the area of responsibility;

·           Serve as an advocate for matters related to the area of responsibility, for instance by bringing matters to the attention of the full board;

·           Attend regional and local board seminars/workshops on topics and projects related to the area of responsibility;

·           Be a point of contact for the community on matters related to the area of responsibility.

Role of the work stream members including the alternate

19.     In addition to the work stream lead, each work stream will have several members working together to support the work within the work stream. The focus for the work stream members is to act as champions and provide support to the work stream lead. The role and responsibilities of the work stream members can therefore be described as follows:

·           Provide work programme oversight for the Board approved work programme within the area of responsibility;

·           Support the development of new ideas and initiatives for inclusion in future work   programmes related to the area of responsibility;

·           Provide policy leadership, for instance by leading the development of Local Board            feedback and submissions and oversight of governing body committee activities       relevant to the area of responsibility (including review of agenda papers and           attendance at meetings where desirable);

·           Serve as an advocate for matters related to the area of responsibility, for instance by bringing matters to the attention of the full board;

·           Attend regional and local board seminars/workshops on topics and projects related to the area of responsibility.

20.     In addition to the above the role of the alternate specifically is to:

·           Act for and perform the role and responsibilities of the work stream lead in his or her absence.

21.     The important consideration for members is that they are appointed to be the local board representative on a particular area – they represent the views of the board (not their own views or personal preferences) to give direction to staff.  If a work stream lead or member does not know what the board view is on a particular issue, they will need to discuss the issue with the local board chairperson to see if general advice can be given, if not, it may be necessary to refer that issue to a workshop for a full board discussion.

Papakura Local Board representative on the Aircraft Noise Community Consultative Group

22.     The Aircraft Noise Community Consultative Group (ANCCG) was set up under the conditions of Auckland Airport’s designation in the Manukau Operative District Plan. It is an independently chaired group that makes recommendations to Auckland Airport on aircraft noise issues and concerns that arise from the airport’s operations and activities.

23.     The ANCCG is tasked with:

·           Identifying community concerns regarding aircraft noise;

·           Cooperatively formulating and proposing rules and procedures to minimise aircraft            noise impact on the surrounding community;

·           Assisting and advising Auckland Airport in the dissemination of relevant information to the community;

·           Assisting Auckland Airport in the preparation of a Noise Management Plan;

·           Monitoring noise levels and compliance with the noise abatement procedures and             Noise Management Plan; and

·           Accessing appropriate technical expertise and guidance as required.

24.     The group is made up of representatives from Auckland Council including Local Boards, the Board of Airline Representatives New Zealand (BARNZ), Airways New Zealand, Auckland Airport, the business community and Tangata Whenua.

25.     The Papakura local board has been invited to appoint one of its members as a representative for the Papakura area on the ANCCG.

26.     The Terms of Reference for the ANCCG can be found in Attachment A.

27.     It is recommended that the Papakura local board considers appointing one of its members to represent the board and the Papakura community on the ANCCG.

Papakura Local Board

22 February 2017

 

 

Auckland Council’s Quarterly Performance Report for Papakura Local Board: Quarter Two, 1 October - 31 December 2016

 

File No.: CP2017/01586

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       To provide the Papakura Local Board members with an integrated quarterly performance report for quarter two 2016/17, against the Local Board Agreement work programme.

Executive summary

2.       This report provides an integrated view of performance for the Papakura Local Board, including; financial performance, progress against local board key performance indicators, progress against each operating department work programme, key challenges the board should be aware of and any risks associated with delayed delivery against the Papakura 2016/2017 Work Programme.

3.       Of significance this quarter is the successful promotion of the Papakura Youth Scholarships, the boards input into the draft concepts for the Manurewa-Takanini-Papakura Spatial Priority Area and the successful delivery of the Christmas events in December.  

4.       The Papakura Local Board has an approved 2016/17 work programme for all operating departments.

5.       The overall snapshot for the Papakura Local Board indicates performance in the Papakura Local Board area is generally tracking positively (Attachment A).

6.       All operating departments with agreed work programmes, have provided a quarterly update against their work programme delivery (Attachment B), with all items reported as ‘green’ status (on track) except for the following which have an ‘amber’ status (behind delivery, some risk) or a ‘red’ status (behind delivery, significant risk):

Amber:

·    Smith’s Avenue – Awhi House Reactivation

·    Event Partnership Fund

·    Mangrove removal Pahurehure inlet and Conifer Grove area

·    Papakura Sports Lights Renewals

·    Papakura Rugby Football Club – Beach Road

·    Papakura Rugby Football Club – Ron Keat Drive

Red:

·    Airfield Park Concept Plan

·    Drury Sports Complex and carpet works, sand slits and top dressing

7.       Attachment C contains further detailed information on the financial performance of the board against Quarter Two. This signals that within the Locally Driven Initiatives some projects are behind schedule or have not yet commenced ($282k) while Parks Initiatives are ahead of budget by $75k. In the Asset Based Services, Parks has overspent in response maintenance ($110k) and in arboriculture ($40k).

8.       Attachment D provides an overview of the Key Performance Indicators for the Papakura Local Board. In summary, the key performance indicators show that the Year-end outlook is for 45 per cent of measures to be achieved. This is explained in further detail in the report and in the attachment.

 

 

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      receive the performance report for the financial quarter ending 31 December 2016.

 

 

Comments

Key Achievements for Quarter Two

 

9.       The Papakura Local Board has a number of key achievements to report from the Quarter Two period, which include:

·    The successful promotion of the Papakura Youth Scholarships which closed in December, resulting in 35 applications being received.

·    Providing input into draft concepts (based on consultation and a needs assessments) for the Manurewa-Takanini-Papakura Spatial Priority Area (Integrated Area Plan) at a workshop attended by Manurewa and Papakura Local Board members, ward councillors and mana whenua representatives. Following the workshop, the concepts were revised and initial consultation was undertaken in a range of settings including marae, the three town centres and Papakura and Manurewa Train Stations.

·    The provision of funding for the Papakura Santa Parade held on the 4th December and Carols in the Park (9th December).

 

Key Project updates from the 2016/17 Work Programme

 

10.     All operating departments with approved 2016/17 Work Programmes have provided performance report updates via SharePoint for quarter Two (see attachment B).  The following are progress updates against key projects as identified in the Papakura Local Board Plan:

·    ID2267 Placemaking: Town Centre safety and economic development (contracts of safety patrols in Papakura town centre) – staff have completed the funding agreements with the Community Patrols (Crimewatch) and Maori Wardens to ensure the Papakura town centre security guards continue to maintain safety in the town centre and its vicinity. 

·    ID2252 A skilled workforce for local jobs (YouthFULL programme through Youth Connections) – staff have promoted the programme to local businesses and the Papakura Business Association together with a social media campaign which is gaining momentum, with 630 users on the platform. The programme is providing entry level jobs, free short online work ready courses and employer’s feedback on every application.

 

Risks identified in the 2016/17 Work Programme

 

11.     The following are risks that have been identified by operating departments where the progress and performance indicator has been set to ‘red’ – significantly behind budget/time or achievement of outcomes.

 

 

Parks, Sport and Recreation

a.   Airfield subdivision park development, including growth funding for provision and locally driven initiative (LDI) funding ($20,000) for a concept plan. There is a delivery risk because the land for the proposed park has not yet been identified within the sub-division. Negotiations are underway with the developers to agree the land to be made available and vest it with the council. However, until the location of the park is agreed this project cannot progress.

b.   The Drury Sports Complex carpet works, sand slits and top dressing work, funded through the Asset Based Services (ABS) capex budget over which the local board does not have any discretion, has been cancelled to help and fund the Southern Park Lighting project.

12.     Due to the amount of funding involved the following ‘amber’ risk requires close monitoring.

Parks, Sport and Recreation

c.   The board has approved LDI funding ($300,000) for obtaining resource consent for mangrove removal around the Pahurehure inlet and the Conifer Grove area. The Cultural Impact Assessment (CIA), which formed part of process, highlighted some risks with the proposed areas for mangrove removal. Responses to mitigate these concerns are currently being worked through. However, depending on the decision about whether or not the resource consent is granted this funding may need to be re-allocated. Staff are currently scoping alternative proposals for this funding.

13.     The following project will need to be considered as well.

Arts, Community and Events  

d.   Due to the cancellation of the Papakura Fireworks event there is still $22,500 available within the Event Partnership Fund (ID424) that the board may wish to reallocate.

 

Financial Performance

 

14.     Operating costs are almost on budget for the year to date. In Locally Driven Initiatives some Community Services projects have not yet commenced while Parks initiatives are ahead of budget. In Asset Based Services Parks has an overspend in response maintenance, and in arboriculture where catch up of this work has been completed in dryer months.  Revenue has exceeded budget in community facilities hire overall. The capital asset renewals programme is slightly ahead of schedule.  New capital development projects are mainly on track, including the Ray Small Park skate park which is currently out to tender. The majority of the Locally Driven Initiative Capex funding is still to be allocated by the local board this year, and therefore projects will need to be factored into the Y18 work programmes going forward. 

15.     The financial summary for Papakura Local Board is attached to this report (Attachment C).

 

Key Performance Indicators

 

16.     The performance measure results show that three out of the four parks, sports and recreation measures are unlikely to be achieved.  Most community services measures are tracking below target and are not expected to be achieved at year end. This includes measures for perception of town centre safety and off-peak use of community facilities.

17.     Full KPI data for quarter one is detailed in attachment D to this report.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

18.     This report informs the Papakura Local Board of performance to date for the period ending 31 December, 2016.

Māori impact statement

19.     Pukekiwiriki Paa Joint Management Committee has not met during this quarter but will start again in February 2017. 

20.     Iwi have been consulted as part of the resource consenting process for mangrove removal around the Pahurehure inlet and the Conifer Grove area. Ongoing conversations form part of the process going forward.

Implementation

21.     The Senior Advisor Papakura Local Board will continue to facilitate performance updates to the local board.
