Let this vessel that
carries my greetings
travel by way of the
Tāmaki River
to the landing place of
Tainui canoe at Ōtāhuhu.
There, let my salutations
be borne across the isthmus to the Pūkaki lagoon
and the community of
Māngere.
Paddling the Manukau
Harbour
we follow the Āwhitu
Peninsula to the headland.
From there we fly down
coast to the Waikato river mouth,
sacred waters of our
forebears.
Coming ashore on the
Northern side
at Maioro we head inland
to Waiuku and Mātukureira,
there too is the Pā
at Tāhuna and Reretewhioi.
Heading southward I come
to Pukekohe.
My words turn to follow
the ancient ridgelines along the Southern boundary,
dropping down into Mercer
and Te Pou o Mangatāwhiri.
My greetings reach you at
Kaiaua
who gaze across
Tīkapa Moana to the sacred mountain, Moehau.
Taking to the sea, my
remarks travel to Maraetai
and then to
Ōhuiarangi, sentinel to Pakuranga.
There we follow again the
Tāmaki River
to Te Puke o Taramainuku,
Ōtara resides there.
From here I reach for
Manurewa
until my greetings come
to rest on Pukekiwiriki
below lies Papakura and
there I rest.

From the Chair
It’s our privilege
to present the draft Franklin Local Board Plan 2017-2020. This plan sets out
the outcomes, objectives and key initiatives we think we should focus on in the
next three years. Let us know what you think. Have we got it right?
We face a huge challenge
from the amount of growth coming our way. Our population is predicted to double
to 106,800 residents by 2033. Special Housing Areas are underway in Paerata
(Wesley College land), Drury (Bremner Road), Clarks Beach and Glenbrook Beach.
Land has been set aside south of Drury for industrial development. Beachlands
has many new residents. Smaller settlements are also experiencing population
increases and more through traffic, with further land development on the way.
Our parks, beaches,
sports grounds and roads face ever increasing demand. Services like water,
wastewater, health and education need to be in place to support expanding and
new communities.
We need to be proactive
to cope with this growth.
We have listened to your
concerns and ideas and are working hard to develop solutions. We want to do
more with what we’ve got to meet your needs – fully use our sports
parks, make community facilities accessible to all, and have well-connected
open spaces. We will then plan for new facilities to support growth.
We will advocate for
better transport connections to ease the congestion that will also increase
with growth. Although improvements have been made to public transport,
including a new bus network for Pukekohe/Waiuku and works around Pukekohe
Railway Station, there is still much to be done across Franklin. Our focus will
be on enabling people to get around easily and safely.
We acknowledge the
challenges of maintaining services while keeping rates rises at acceptable
levels. To help with these efforts, we will collaborate with our communities on
projects that shape and develop local areas, enabling community-led action to
flourish. We know there is already great work being done by volunteers and we
will build on this to involve more people. We want to work with you to meet the
challenges coming our way and get the best outcome for everyone.
We look forward to your
feedback.

About local
boardsAuckland Council has a unique model of local government in New Zealand,
made up of the governing body (the mayor and 20 ward councillors) and 21 local
boards. The governing body focuses on Auckland-wide issues while local boards
are responsible for decision-making on local issues, activities and services
and provide input into regional strategies, policies and plans.
These local issues,
activities and services include:
· supporting local arts,
culture, events and sport and recreation
· providing grants and
partnering with local organisations to deliver community services
· maintaining and
upgrading town centres and facilities including parks, libraries and halls
· caring for the
environment and preserving heritage.
Local boards also have a role in
representing the view of their communities on issues of local importance.
About local board
plans
Local board plans are strategic documents that are adopted every
three years. Their purpose is to set a direction for the local area that
reflects community priorities and preferences. They guide local board activity,
funding and investment decisions. They also influence local board input into
regional strategies and plans, including the Auckland Plan.

Auckland Council's financial plans
Includes the council's
10-year budget and annual budget (which includes
local board agreements)

Each local board develops
annual work programmes following confirmation of the budget available to them
via the annual budget setting process.
Te
whakawhanake i tā mātou mahere
Developing our plan
Our plan is comprised of
aspirational outcomes, objectives we want to achieve and some key initiatives
to carry out. To make this happen will take the efforts of many working
together.
We have identified these
by considering what we know about our community, what you have told us is
important, and where we think we can make the biggest difference.
You have told us your
views on issues such as transport, local parks, heritage and waterways as part
of the development of other plans. We have had conversations with you at local
events such as the local A&P shows and the community open day at
Beachlands.
Board members hold
regular community clinics in Clevedon and Waiuku where we discuss things that
are important to you.
We have also considered
the outcomes in the Auckland Plan which provides a framework for how Auckland
will grow and develop over the next 30 years.
A better transport system
is top of the list for many local people. We are optimistic that improvements
will be made through a joint initiative by Auckland Transport, Auckland Council
and the New Zealand Transport Agency called ‘Supporting Growth –
Delivering Transport Networks’. This is a partnership to identify
transport networks required to connect future growth areas, including those in
Franklin, over 30 years.
Locally, we have
considered recommendations from the Franklin Sport and Active Recreation
Facilities Plan. This assists us to make decisions on investing in future sport
and recreation facilities – what should be done and what should not be
done. Our Franklin Local Economic Development Action Plan guides us to achieve
a thriving local economy which is one of our key outcomes.
Te
whakatutuki i tā mātou mahere
Carrying out our plan
Resourcing
We want to do what we can to improve our local board area while
being realistic that we cannot do everything with finite resources. This means
making the most of what we already have, working with others and acknowledging
when we do not have the necessary resources to carry something out.
Allof the proposed key initiatives in our plan can be
implemented within existing resources, or there is provision for them in future
years of the 2015-2025 10-year budget. By existing resources we mean:
· finances we receive through our revenue
sources such as rates and user charges, and Auckland Transport local board
budget
· our assets such as our community centres
and parks
· council staff who are responsible for
delivering our annual work programme
· our time and energy to represent your
views on matters of local importance.
Some of our
proposed key initiatives involve investigations or developing plans. It is
important to note that this doesn’t mean funding for physical works is a
foregone conclusion. Following investigations or plan development, we will
consider our next steps which could include seeking funding we don’t
currently have or deciding not to progress further.
In some
instances, our role is limited to representing your views on matters of local
importance because we do not have the decision-making authority and/or funding
to carry it out. When this is the case, we will use our time and energy to
influence the relevant decision-maker, ensuring they are aware of your views
and our support for them.
Empowering communities
We seek to empower our
communities. This means listening to what you want to achieve, directing
council resources towards your aspirations and gaining input from diverse
communities into the things which matter.
We will prioritise
activities led by the community, encourage and support people from all walks of
life to actively participate in their community, and fully use the talents,
insights and contributions of our diverse community. We will work with others
to enable our communities to achieve their goals.
Working with
Māori
Delivering on Auckland
Council’s commitment to Māori at a local level is a priority for
local boards. The council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te
Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its broader statutory obligations
to Māori.
As part of this
commitment, we will strengthen our rangatira ki te rangatira or chief to chief
relationships to better understand and respond to local Māori aspirations.
Our plan objectives support kaitiakitanga, the guardianship of our environment
and special places.
Te Whakaotinga 1: He taiao
tōtika te tiakina
Outcome
1: A well-cared for natural environment
Enhance, protect and
maintain our diverse natural environment and make sure it’s able to be
enjoyed.
Franklin has just under
20,000 ha of parkland, ranging from small local urban parks to large regional
parks on the coast. This includes the coastlines and beaches of the Manukau
Harbour in the west and the Hauraki Gulf to the east, with numerous waterways
in-between.
You have told us you want
to connect outdoor areas with tracks for walking, cycling and where
appropriate, horse riding. We will complete the trails plan for the
Beachlands/Maraetai area and develop similar plans for Waiuku and Pukekohe.
Over the next three
years, we will focus on improving the water quality of our waterways and
harbours. We will work with local communities, including volunteer groups, to
help make our waterways and coastlines clean and full of life so they can be
enjoyed by all.
Pest plants and animals
are a problem, particularly in rural areas, and can reduce agriculture and
farming output. We will support good pest management practices through
education and help local groups with initiatives that reduce pests.
We can also protect our
environment by reducing the amount of waste going to landfill. We will support
activities that repurpose or recycle and provide information on how best to dispose
of waste, particularly hazardous waste.
Opportunities
· The large size of our area offers
diverse and scenic outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed by all.
· There is scope to plan more trails
across Franklin, building on the work done in the Beachlands/Maraetai area.
· Build on the strong base of
volunteers in our area and provide opportunities for them to be involved in
more environmental initiatives.
Challenges
· Our large area of parkland, including
reserves with coastal structures, needs a lot of resource for maintenance.
· Large numbers of people moving into
the area, combined with increasing numbers of visitors, puts pressure on open
spaces, requiring extra work to keep them in good condition.
|
Outcome 1: A well-cared for natural environment
|
|
Objective
|
Initiatives
|
|
Improve connectivity between
outdoor areas and help increase use
|

Te Whakaotinga 2: He ōhanga ā-rohe whaihua
Outcome 2: A thriving local economy
Franklin has a strong
economy and attracts people to live, work locally and visit its attractions.
From 2005 to 2015, our
local economy grew at an average rate of 2.2 percent, keeping pace with the
Auckland region rate of 2.3 per cent. In the same period, we had a higher
growth in the number of jobs on offer in Franklin. These increased on average
by 2.1 per cent compared to the Auckland average of 1.5 per cent.
A strong local economy is
important because it provides a better quality of life for residents and more
jobs. Many of you told us you want to work locally to avoid a long journey to
work, but ultra-fast broadband is needed in rural areas to support home-based
businesses and small commercial operations. We agree and will continue to
advocate for ultra-fast broadband across Franklin. We will also encourage
major employers to locate in our area, providing local jobs.
Many young people leave
Franklin for tertiary education as there is limited local availability.
Education and training to gain employment are important for our young people so
they can be confident, successful and contribute to a thriving economy. We will
continue to work on pathways from school to work for young people.
Building on our strengths in rural industries such as agriculture, horticulture
and equine offers the opportunity to establish Franklin as a rural centre of
excellence. Establishing rural research programmes, developing a rural
services hub and complementary activities for equine and motorsport industries
will increase the opportunities for local young people to work locally.
Franklin offers many
attractions for visitors including rural landscapes, beaches, local museums,
farmers’ markets and iconic events such as motor racing and A&P
shows. You said we should further explore our tourism potential, and we will
continue to work with key partners such as the Franklin Tourism Group and
Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) to link and promote
these attractions.
Opportunities
· Build on Franklin as a destination by
targeting visitors to Auckland and increasing local accommodation.
· The Franklin Local Economic
Development Action Plan provides a blueprint for growing our local economy.
· We can collaborate with organisations
and neighbouring towns to leverage and cross-promote events.
Challenges
· Congestion on roads may deter people
from visiting Franklin.
· Congestion leads to unproductive
commuting time for people working outside Franklin.
· Providing enough business land to
support new businesses and local jobs.
|

Outcome 3: An
improved transport system
Continue to work
towards better public transport and safer roads in Franklin.
Improving transport is a
major focus for us over the three years of this plan. You have told us many
times that better transport is top of your list as a key outcome for Franklin.
You have stressed the need for electrification of trains between Papakura and
Pukekohe to decrease travel time and avoid changing trains. We have
listened and will continue working with Auckland Transport, KiwiRail, New
Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) and other stakeholders to represent your views.
We will continue to build
on improvements already made, including the introduction of a new bus network
for Pukekohe and Waiuku and the ongoing development of an integrated bus and
train station at Pukekohe. We will also work with Auckland Transport on
improvements to the bus service in the Beachlands/Maraetai and Whitford areas.
We agree with you that
more ferry services are needed between Pine Harbour and the Auckland Central
Business District, along with upgrades to passenger facilities. We will work
towards these outcomes by advocating to Auckland Transport and the ferry
service provider.
ocal roads are being used
by more people as Franklin and north Waikato grow, and safety continues to be a
key concern. We are encouraged by the work on State Highway 1 to improve
traffic flow and Auckland Transport’s ongoing programme of road safety
projects.
We want our roads to be
fit-for-purpose for all types of users, including quarry trucks, horticultural
operations moving freight, commuters and local people moving around our area.
We will advocate to Auckland Transport and NZTA to keep these needs top of
mind.
Opportunities
· Changing the behaviour of road users
to encourage them to work locally or use public transport and carpool when
possible.
· Improvements to public transport
offering more travel options and increasing its appeal.
Challenges
· Increased growth brings more
congestion onto the roads, particularly at peak times.
· Transport infrastructure is expensive
and funding is limited.
|
Outcome 3: An improved transport system
|
|
Objective
|
Initiatives
|
|
More attractive, accessible and affordable public transport
options
|
Continue to advocate to
Auckland Transport for improvements to public transport services and
infrastructure.
|
|
Roads are well-planned and safe
|
Advocate to Auckland Transport and NZTA for roads that are
fit for all types of users, safe and reflect the rural environment.
|
|
· Work with Auckland Transport to
continue improving road safety throughout Franklin, including the Self
Explaining Rural Roads project.
|
|
Accessibility and safety is improved in urban centres
|
Work with Auckland Transport to improve pedestrian safety
and accessibility in urban centres.

Te Whakaotinga 4: He
tōtika te āta whakatupu
Outcome 4: Growth is
dealt with effectively
Make full use of
existing outdoor space and community facilities before developing new.
Franklin is one of the
fastest growing areas of Auckland. Between the 2006 and 2013 census, growth was
12 per cent compared to eight per cent regionally.
To meet the needs of our
growing communities, we need to make the best use of our existing outdoor
areas, sports centres, swimming pools and local halls before building new
facilities. We will continue partnering with organisations like schools,
churches and government departments on the best outcomes to meet community
needs. This may include sharing existing halls and sports facilities.
Where new facilities are
already planned, such as the Waiuku Sports Park, we will continue to work
closely with all parties involved. We will also explore implementing a local
targeted rate where communities have told us they want to fund things
themselves.
Where growth is underway,
you have told us that you want to be involved in shaping the look and feel of
your area. With this in mind, we will advocate for growth areas to have
action-focused plans, making sure that community input is an important part of
the process.
With growth comes
increasing demand for services such as drinking water, wastewater, transport
systems and central government services like healthcare and education.
Whilst we cannot put this in place ourselves, we can work with other key
agencies such as Watercare, Auckland Transport, the Ministry of Education and
the local district health board. If we all work together taking into account
what you want, we can achieve great outcomes.
Opportunities
· Partnering with other local boards
and government agencies to make the best use of facilities.
· Existing strategies and plans,
including the Pukekohe Area Plan, provide a foundation to deal with growth.
· Plan for growth early in the process
to get good outcomes for the community.
Challenges
· Growth is already running above
previous high projections, making it difficult for infrastructure to keep pace
with high growth levels and to retrospectively plan for growth in some areas.
· There is a limited amount of funding
to support growth so needs must be prioritised and met over time.
|
Outcome 4: Growth is dealt with effectively
|
|
Objective
|
Initiatives
|
|
Well-planned growth areas in Franklin
|
Advocate to the governing
body and work with the community to ensure areas experiencing growth have
appropriate, action-focused plans.
|
|
Local and central government services are in place to
support growth
|
Work with key agencies, such as Watercare, Auckland
Transport and central government to ensure services such as water, wastewater
and roading are in place for growth areas.
|
|
Outdoor space and community facilities that support growth
|
Ensure we are making the best possible use of existing
outdoor space and community facilities.
|
|
Plan the development of new facilities to support growth,
where needed.
|
|
· Investigate a local targeted rate
for improvements or additional facilities if requested by communities.
|
Te Whakaotinga 5: Te
hua he whaimana me te tūhono o ngā hapori ki tō rātou rohe
Outcome 5:
Communities feel ownership and connection to their area
Support community
participation in helping to shape people’s quality of life, creativity,
health and well-being.
We want our communities
to be actively involved in shaping and developing their areas and planning to
make them better and safer. We have community organisations and volunteers
already doing great work, and we will build on this to support more community
involvement.
We have significantly
fewer people aged 15-35 and more in their 60s and 70s living in Franklin
compared to the rest of Auckland. Twenty-three per cent of our residents
identify with Maori, Asian, Pacific or other ethnic groups. Our challenge is to
ensure this diversity is considered in the delivery of our services and
activities.
To help meet your needs,
we will support events that celebrate the identity of Franklin and bring the
whole community together. We will also focus on making our halls and parks
accessible and usable for all ages and abilities.
You have told us how
important it is to have a vibrant local art scene. We have listened and
provided an arts broker to support a programme of community arts activities
across Franklin. We will continue this support and look for new ways to work with
you on arts initiatives.
Opportunities
· Our communities can do more for
themselves.
· We have a strong volunteer base and
can strengthen their contribution by bringing them together and supporting
them.
· There is capacity for more
partnership developments with community groups and businesses.
Challenges
· Some of our processes can be onerous
and off-putting for community groups wanting to carry out projects.
· Getting new people involved in
community groups so they continue to operate into the future.
· Our numerous small communities have
different approaches and needs, challenging us to ensure we clearly understand
them and get things right.
|
Outcome 5: Communities feel ownership and connection
|
|
Objective
|
Initiatives
|
|
Community-led action is enabled
|
Support local place-making activities to create quality
places for people to live, work, play and learn in.
|
|
Encourage initiatives that reflect the diversity of our
communities.
|

|
Continue to improve our community facilities to make them
fit-for-purpose, safe and accessible for all ages and abilities.

Financial information
This purpose of this
section is to provide a financial overview of the Howick Local Board.
Based on our existing
budgets, we believe we can deliver the key initiatives in our draft plan
without reducing our existing levels of service or increasing our local revenue
sources (such as local targeted rates and fees and charges).
The governing body will
be adopting council’s 2018 – 2028 10 year budget in June 2018. It
is important to note that this could change the funding for local boards,
including projects that are currently provided for in the 2015-2025 10 year
budget.
Local activities and levels of
service
Local board
responsibilities, provided for directly in legislation or allocated to boards,
are summarised into local activities. These are described in the table below,
along with levels of service statements.
More information regarding
of levels of services, including performance measures and performance targets,
can be found in the Howick Local Board Agreement 2016/2017. This is available
on the Auckland Council website.
