Comments

Responses to Papakura Local Board Resolutions

3. The resolution is recorded below in italics. Auckland Transport’s response is in normal font below the resolution.

4. Resolution number PPK/2017/22

a. Thanks Auckland Transport for installing hit sticks as a measure to stop bus strikes of the covered walkway. Regrettably the solution has failed to prevent such strikes as a further incident has occurred therefore Auckland Transport are requested to provide a more effective solution

5. Since being installed the hit sticks have stopped bus strikes on the eastern side of Railway Street West. The most recent bus strike was on the corner of Averill Street and Railway Street West. This area had not been identified as subject to bus strikes. After this most recent bus strike, the area has been included in the investigation into measures to reduce bus strikes to the covered walkway.

b. Requests that all outstanding aspects of the covered walkway be completed by the end of April 2017 as it has been a protracted and unsatisfactory implemented project.

6. The resolution has been noted. A meeting for local board members is being organised with Auckland Transport staff to agree the actions required to fix the problem. A date for the meeting has yet to be confirmed.

c. Requests that Auckland Transport report back to the board on the request from the February 2017 business meeting concerning the traffic exiting the railway station carpark in front of buses to alleviate safety risks.

7. As noted in the Auckland Transport Update - March 2017 to the Papakura Local Board, this potential hazard has been logged and is being investigated. The results will be shared with the local board once the investigation has been concluded in late April or May 2017.

d. Requests Auckland Transport to investigate making local bus trips in Papakura within four kilometres of the railway station free to HOP card users.

8. Travel within a single Fare Zone is one price. Therefore if travelling on a bus to connect with a train at the Papakura Train Station, the bus travel is effectively free of charge if the trip originated within the Manukau South Zone.. The zone surrounding Papakura Station is shown below. It is considerably larger than four kilometres. Super Gold Card holders travel free after 9am

Figure 1- Manukau South Fare Zone.

Travel anywhere within the purple zone whether by bus or train or both is one fare - $ 1.80 with ATHOP

e. Requests Auckland Transport to supply the board with definitive information and timeframes concerning the proposed Park and Ride carpark for the Papakura Railway Station

9. A workshop was organised to brief the local board on 12 April 2017, but has been rescheduled for 3 May 2017 to brief the local board on progress. As previously noted, geotechnical testing of the ground conditions has impacted on the overall feasibility of the project. Further information will be provided to Local Board Members at the upcoming workshop.

Strategic alignment

Transport Future Urban Growth/ Redoubt Road - Mill Road Corridor

10. This project has significant strategic implications to the future of the local board area. This is an ongoing strategic project between Auckland Council, Auckland Transport and New Zealand Transport Agency to support the growth in Papakura, Takanini and Drury. It provides an alternate route to these areas in the south in addition to the motorway.

11. An initial workshop was held with the local board to brief them on the current stage of the project with a follow up session held on the 29 March 2017 focussing on the future stages of the project within Takanini, Papakura & Drury.

New Network and Light Rail

12. The most recent announcement that light rail is being investigated in more detail highlights the significant work to address the future transport needs of Auckland. This decision aligns with the Auckland Plan priority for the development of ‘a transformational improvement in the speed, capacity, reliability and connectivity of the public transport system’.

13. The announcement on 24 March 2017 that the New Zealand Transport Agency and Auckland Transport boards have agreed that there will be a staged, integrated transition from bus to light rail transit from the airport to the city centre, based on future demand and capacity, and to commence route protection for this important gateway corridor between two of Auckland’s key growing employment areas.

Auckland Transport’s actions against advocacy plans

14. This section provides a report about how Auckland Transport is supporting the Papakura local boards ‘Advocacy initiatives’ from the 2014-17 Local Board Plan. The table below notes the local boards key transport related ‘advocacy initiatives’

15. Table 1: Advocacy Initiative Status

Advocacy Initiative	Key Initiative	Status
A safe cycling and walking network across the south	Links in cycling and walking network and coastal routes	The Great South Road cycle lane – Takanini was completed in December 2015. This provides current and future residents in the fast growing areas of Papakura travel options The Great South Road is a critical part of Auckland’s Regional Cycle Network as set out in the Auckland Plan.
A safe cycling and walking network across the south	Clear links between town centre and rail station	The covered walkway from the rail station to the main street, was a project delivered by Auckland Transport through the boards Local Board Transport Capital Fund. This project highlights the role of the local board in ‘place shaping’ and provides a clear physical link from the train station to the main street of Papakura.
Better and safer connections by road and rail	Better and more joined up bus services, travel information and low bus floors	Auckland Transport Service Improvements – This project will bring together at 5 stations including Papakura the ticket and information kiosks to improve customer service levels. Safer Public Transport – This seeks to improve public safety on public transport by - Installing gates and fencing around key stations, including Papakura - Seeking law changes to remove non-paying patrons to be removed from trains - Seeking law changes to empower staff working on the Auckland Transport Metro Network.

Transport capital fund update

Updates

16. The Local Board Transport Capital Fund is a capital budget provided to all local boards and delivered by Auckland Transport. Local Boards can use this fund to deliver projects that they deem important but are not part of Auckland Transport’s work programme. The limitations being that the project must:

· Be safe.

· Not impede network efficiency.

· Be in the road corridor. Although projects running through parks can be considered if there is a transport outcome.

17. Papakura local board annual funding is approx.

· $315,491 carried over from 2016/17 financial year

· $331,660 for the 17/18 financial year

· $346,396 for the 18/19 financial year

· $351,517 for the 19/20 financial year (although the election is in 2019 the 19/20 Financial Year starts before the election so this money can be spent by this term’s local board).

· The annual increase is because the fund will now be adjusted for inflation each year.

18. Local Boards can consolidate up to three years of the funding available to them in an electoral term to allocate to projects. For the Papakura local board this means a total of approx. $1.34 million could be spent on transport projects in this electoral term.

19. Auckland Transport encourages all local boards to identify potential projects early in their electoral term to ensure that project planning, procurement and delivery can be undertaken within the current electoral term

Projects

20. Currently the Papakura Local Board is currently undertaking work to identify possible projects through planning workshops held on the 22 February 2017. A follow up workshop will be held on the 3 May 2017 to prioritise potential projects to be investigated.

21. These will be formally reported to the local board to resolve those projects to be progressed.

22. The table below details the current projects being progressed on behalf of the local board.

Upcoming projects and activities

Consultations

26. Auckland Transport provides the Papakura local board with the opportunity to comment on transport projects being delivered in this local board area.

27. In this reporting period for March, no consultations were put forward for comment by the local board.

28. Traffic Control Committee (TCC) decisions are reported on a monthly basis. In March there was one TCC decision in the local board area.

Regional and sub-regional projects

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

30. 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.

31. 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.

Public Transport Supporting Events

32. The recent Adele concert demonstrated how an efficient public transport network contributes to making Auckland a better place to live. Due to the large numbers estimated to attend the three different concert dates, Auckland Transport provided additional bus and train services for people travelling to the concert.

33. Estimated figures Auckland Transport carried 80% of the crowd to the concert on trains and buses – 27,000 on trains and 7600 on buses.

New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) Traffic Conditions Radio Station

34. Auckland Transport and NZTA have partnered to trial a short-range radio service for broadcasting travel information to motorists on route.

Papakura Local Board

26 April 2017

Panuku Development Auckland Local Board Six-Monthly Update 1 September 2016 to 28 February 2017

File No.: CP2016/25249

Purpose

1. To give the Papakura Local Board an overview of Panuku Development Auckland. The report also notes any major issues, projects and activities within the local board area for the six months 1 September 2016 to 28 February 2017.

Executive summary

2. Panuku Development Auckland was established in September 2015 as a result of the merger of two Council Controlled Organisations – Waterfront Auckland and Auckland Council Property Limited.

3. Panuku helps to rejuvenate parts of Auckland – from small projects that refresh a site or building, to major transformations of town centres or neighbourhoods.

4. Comprised of six Directorates, Panuku manages around $1.5 billion of council’s property portfolio, which we continuously review to find smart ways to generate income for the region, grow the portfolio or release land or property that can be better used by others.

5. Panuku works with government, iwi, not-for-profit and private organisations. We use our skills, knowledge and connections to bring land and resources together to create the best outcome for Aucklanders.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) Receive the Panuku Development Auckland Local Board Update 1 September 2016 to 28 February 2017

Local Activities

Portfolio Management

6. Panuku manages “non-service” property owned by the council and Auckland Transport (AT) that are not currently needed for service or infrastructure purposes. These are properties that are not immediately required for delivery of a council service or infrastructure development but are being held for use in a planned future project such as road construction, the expansion of parks or development of future town centres.

7. The property portfolio comprises 1437 properties containing 1119 leases as at 28 February 2017. The current portfolio includes vacant land, industrial buildings, warehouses, retail shops, cafes, offices, medical centres and a large portfolio of residential rental homes.

8. The return on the property portfolio for the period ending 31 December 2016 was above budget with a net surplus to the Auckland Council (AC) and AT shareholders of $3.9m ahead of budget.

9. The average monthly tenantable occupancy rate for the 6 month period is more than 98% which is above the SOI target of 95%.

Properties Managed in the Papakura Local Board Area

10. Panuku Development Auckland currently manages 18 commercial and residential properties within the Papakura Local Board area.

Commercial Properties	10
Residential Properties	8
Total Properties Managed	18

11. Panuku also optimises the commercial return from business interests it manages on council’s behalf. This comprises two forestry enterprises, two landfills and four quarries.

12. There are currently no managed business interests in the Papakura Local Board area.

Portfolio Strategy

Optimisation

13. The 2015-2025 Long-Term Plan reflects a desire of council to materially reduce or slow down expenditure and unlock value from assets no longer required or which are sub-optimal for service purposes. In response to this, prior to the establishment of Panuku, Auckland Council Property Limited (ACPL) developed a new method of dealing with service property, called optimisation.

14. Asset optimisation deals with “service property”. It is self-funding, it maximises efficiencies from service assets, and maintains levels of service whilst releasing property for sale or development. A key element of optimisation is that the sale proceeds are locally reinvested to advance approved projects and activities on a cost neutral basis. It does not include the Auckland Transport portfolio. Panuku continues to advance this programme of work. This includes the development of a cross-council project to coordinate and execute asset sales and optimisation.

Portfolio Review and Rationalisation

Overview

15. Panuku is required to undertake ongoing rationalisation of the council’s non-service assets. This includes identifying properties from within council’s portfolio that may be suitable for potential sale and development if appropriate. Panuku has a particular focus on achieving housing and urban regeneration outcomes. Identifying potential sale properties contributes to the Auckland Plan focus of accommodating the significant growth projected for the region over the coming decades, by providing the council with an efficient use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities and projects.

Performance

16. July 2016 to June 2017 Target

UNIT	TARGET	ACHIEVED	COMMENTS
Portfolio Review	$75m disposal recommendations	$35.5 million as at 28 February 2017	These recommendations include $13.25 million of sites that are identified for development projects.

17. Panuku works closely with the council and AT to identify potentially surplus properties to help achieve disposal targets.

18. July 2017 to June 2018 Target

UNIT	TARGET	COMMENTS
Portfolio Review	To be determined as part of the statement of intent with Council.	The target will include disposal recommendations and sales for sites that are identified for housing development and urban regeneration projects

Process

19. Once identified as a potential sale candidate a property is taken through a multi-stage Rationalisation Process. The agreed process includes engagement with: the council, Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs), local board and Mana Whenua. This is followed by Panuku Board approval, engagement with local ward councillors and the Independent Māori Statutory Board and finally a governing body decision.

Under review

20. Properties currently under review in the Papakura Local Board area are listed below. The list includes any properties that may have recently been approved for sale or development and sale by the governing body.

PROPERTY

DETAILS

78A Great South Road, Papakura

A vacant commercial property that was acquired to enable stormwater infrastructure works. These works are currently been undertaken. The rationalisation process was undertaken while these works are underway to establish the future of this site following the completion of the works. Consultation with council and its CCOs, iwi authorities and the Papakura Local Board about this property has been undertaken. The Papakura Local Board is not opposed to the disposal of 78A Great South Road, Papakura, but would like a public right of way easement registered over part of the site.

A report will be submitted to the Finance and Performance Committee’s 11 April 2017 meeting for a final decision on the proposed disposal.

26-32 O'Shannessey Street, Papakura

An off street car park that the Auckland (AT) Transport Board resolved in 2015 as having no current or future transport function, and subsequently transferred to Panuku for rationalisation.

Panuku are further investigating with AT the removal of transport designation for the carpark, and liaising with council parks regarding walking access adjacent to the property.

Acquisitions and Disposals

21. Panuku manages the acquisition and disposal of property on behalf of Auckland Council. We buy property for development, roads, infrastructure projects and other service needs. We manage the sale of properties that are surplus to council requirements. These properties may be sold with or without contractual requirements for development.

Acquisitions

22. 12 properties have had purchase agreements signed this financial year for open space purposes around the region at a value of $19.1m, and three properties have been purchased for storm water purposes at a value of $16.2m.

23. No properties were purchased in the Papakura Local Board area during the reporting period.

Disposals

24. For the eight months to February 2017 the Panuku disposals team has achieved $17.94m of unconditional net sales proceeds from the sale of 10 properties against the 2016/17 disposals target of $20.0m for the year. The disposals target is agreed with council and is reviewed on an annual basis.

25. One property was sold in the Papakura Local Board area: 9 Austen Place, Pukekohe.

Housing for Older People

26. Council owns and operates 1412 units located in 62 villages across Auckland to provide rental housing to older people in Auckland. The Housing for Older People (HfOP) Project is a council initiative that involves procuring a third party provider to partner with council in delivering the rental housing service.

27. Following the approval by the Panuku Board on 8 December 2015, the Auckland Development Committee noted that HfOP would be an Unlock project for Panuku and that Panuku would prepare a High Level Project Plan (HLPP) that provided the foundation for Panuku to develop and reposition the portfolio to better the needs of older people in Auckland.

28. The HLPP was approved by the Panuku Board in August 2016.

29. On 21 December 2015, council announced that The Selwyn Foundation will be its preferred joint venture partner to manage the HfOP portfolio. Panuku has been negotiating a joint venture agreement with Selwyn. The Joint Venture Company (JVCo) will deliver the service and improve the housing portfolio.

30. Community Housing Provider (CHP) Application was submitted to Ministry Business Innovation Employment (MBIE) by the JVCo on 20 December 2016.

31. Auckland Council has delegated Panuku to lead the development programme. A HLPP is being prepared by Panuku to cover the multi-year redevelopment of the network of village sites.

32. The following HfOP villages are located within the Papakura Local Board area:

Village	Address	Number of units
Coles Crescent Village	17 Coles Crescent, Papakura	7
Conifer Grove Court	12 Challen Close, Takanini	10
Marne Road Village 1	14 Marne Road, Papakura	5
Marne Road Village 2	22 Marne Road, Papakura	5
Pahurehure Flats Village	14-16 Don Street, Papakura	24
Waimana Court	15 Waiari Road, Takanini	21

Regional Activities

33. Good progress has been made in our priority development areas, with HLPPs being worked on for Onehunga, Papatoetoe, Avondale and Henderson. In Manukau and Northcote, leading on from the council’s approval of the HLPP, Framework Plans (which are more detailed plans on the development of the locations, including reference plans for each development site) have been developed.

34. Often it is the smaller projects that can make a huge difference in a community over a relatively short period – the placemaking activities, the development of public space, or the optimisation of council properties. Panuku is identifying these projects, and a key focus will be on delivering more of these projects within the locations that we work.

Highlights

35. The highlights for the last six months were:

a) Sir John Wells ended his term as chairperson in November. Sir John has had a long association with the Council family, including being chairperson of ACPL prior to its amalgamation into Panuku. Richard Aitken was appointed chairperson to replace Sir John.

b) Roger MacDonald was appointed as the Chief Executive of Panuku, and he started in the role in November. Roger originates from the United Kingdom, and has delivered large scale urban redevelopment projects across the world, in Africa, the Middle East and in the UK.

c) The Panuku Board agreed that Barrowcliffe Place, Manukau is a “pilot project” to form a consortium comprising a Community Housing Provider, with a Mana Whenua partner(s) and other suitable development and funding partner(s), to develop the site. The aim will be to deliver a mix of market and affordable housing where sustainable and accessible design components will be tested.

d) The first tenants have moved into the Mason Brothers building in the Wynyard Quarter. The building is part of stage one of Precinct Properties’ programme of developing the commercial sites in the Wynyard Quarter. The development of 12 Madden Street, which Auckland Toursim, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) have taken the head lease for the establishment of Grid AKL, will be completed in July 2017.

e) Stage Two of the Hobsonville Airfields Development was tendered, and a preferred tenderer has been selected after a number of tenderers submitted strong bids. The due diligence process is underway. The 9.9ha site will see 500 homes of mixed typology constructed.

f) Lot 1, 187 Flat Bush Road was also tendered and a development agreement has been signed. 30 homes will be constructed on the 1.9 hectare site, with construction commencing within a year of the sale.

g) The ASB Waterfront Theatre was opened on 22 September 2016. Panuku (on behalf of council) provided the site, contributed to the funding and provided design review and oversight for the project. The theatre is a key component of the activation of the Wynyard Quarter.

h) The Water Edge Symposium was held in November, with invited waterfront experts attending from the USA, Asia, Europe and the Pacific. As well as discussing international case studies, the symposium workshopped ideas about how to develop the Onehunga/Manukau harbour water edge, and this thinking is feeding into the planning for the Onehunga Transform project.

i) The Silo Park Summer Programme has seen thousands of people visit the waterfront over the summer period, to enjoy the night markets, catch movies at the Silo cinema, and enjoy the various forms of entertainment on offer, cementing the waterfront as the place to be in Auckland over summer.

j) After an audit of Panuku against ACC’s Workplace Safety Management Practices external accreditation, Panuku attained Tertiary standard, reflecting its commitment to continual improvement in health and safety.

Future outlook

36. Over the next few months, Panuku will:

k) Formalise the joint venture between the council and The Selwyn Foundation (JVCo) to manage the Housing for Older People portfolio and tenants with legal agreements being negotiated and Community Housing Provider registration being prepared. JVCo will take over the management of the Housing for Older People portfolio in July 2017.

l) The lease of the Panuku office accommodations expires in mid-2017. Options are being considered, and it is likely that it will be more cost effective for Panuku to move to a modest-quality building in the Central Business District rather than remaining in its current building.

m) Tawera Group is marketing residential apartments to gather pre-sales for the redevelopment of the Civic Administration Building, which is part of the Civic Quarter development. This follows on from the signing of the Development Agreement between Panuku and the Tawera Group.

n) Panuku is working on a refresh of the Waterfront Strategy, which will frame future development within the CBD waterfront area. This work will be reported to the council in March 2017, with draft Framework Plans reported in May 2017.

o) Panuku has been reviewing how to improve the transparency of its board meetings and interactions with the media. Panuku will hold as many of its monthly board meetings in the open as possible. A public-excluded session will be held at each meeting to discuss confidential matters. Agendas for each meeting will continue to be posted on the Panuku website (panuku.co.nz) prior to the meeting. Board papers (with confidential information redacted) will also be posted online. Members of the public will be invited (via the Panuku website) to present to the board on issues relevant to Panuku.

All media enquiries will be responded to in a timely fashion and all information is shared with the media unless it is of a confidential nature. Major projects are outlined on our website and all key documents (such as our Annual Report and the project plans for our development locations) are available online.

Papakura Local Board

26 April 2017

Leona McKenzie Memorial Seat - Short Street, Opaheke

File No.: CP2017/05741

Purpose

1. Seeking approval to fund the installation of a memorial seat in Short Street, Papakura, in memory of Leona McKenzie to acknowledge her years of work on the Opaheke School road crossing.

Executive summary

2. Leona McKenzie’s family members have approached the local board requesting assistance with the installation of a memorial seat on the street berm outside Opaheke School on Short Street, Papakura. The family would like to acknowledge the years of service Leona had given to the Opaheke School road crossing.

3. Installing a memorial seat on a street berm requires an Auckland Transport Encroachment Licence which carries a $1,000 non-refundable fee. Also depending on the scale of works a Corridor Access Request application may be required. The schedule of fees relating to a Corridor Access Request is attached as attachment C.

4. If the encroachment is permanent, a memorandum of encumbrance would be required to be registered against the adjoining properties’ land title as no cost to Auckland Transport.

5. The board has two options to fund this application:

i) Fund the project from the locally driven initiatives (LDI) capital expenditure (capex) budget.

ii) Fund the project as an operational expenditure (opex) grant.

6. The benefits and risks associated with each option are discussed in paragraph 27. The recommendation is that the Board approve an operational grant of $5,000 to the family of Leona McKenzie to install a memorial seat acknowledging Leona’s Opaheke School road crossing work over many years.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) agree to an operational grant of $5,000 to the family of Leona McKenzie from the ___________ budget as a contribution to the installation of the memorial seat acknowledging the work Leona did with the Opaheke School road crossing.

b) request staff ensure the Leona McKenzie family are aware of the following conditions relating to the grant:

i) the Leona McKenzie family are responsible for any repairs and maintenance to the memorial seat installed on Short Street, Papakura, going forward.

ii) the memorial seat will be removed at no cost to council or Auckland Transport should it fall in disrepair and not be maintained by the family.

Comments

7. Leona McKenzie’s family members have approached the local board requesting assistance with the installation of a memorial seat on the street berm outside Opaheke School on Short Street, Papakura, to acknowledge Leona McKenzie’s years of service on the Opaheke School road crossing.

8. Installing a memorial seat on a street berm requires an Auckland Transport Encroachment Licence and a Corridor Access Request to be approved.

9. The Auckland Council duty planner has advised that if the memorial seat is on Auckland Transport road reserve no building or resource consent would be required.

Auckland Transport Encroachment Licence

10. If the memorial seat is to be erected on Auckland Transport land, an encroachment licence will be required. See attachment A for a copy of an application form. There is a non-refundable cost of $1,000.

11. A road encroachment licence authorises a right to occupy an area of legal road, but does not give the licence-holder exclusive possession in the way a lease does.

Applying for an Encroachment Licence

12. The Auckland Transport website advises the following process for applying for an encroachment licence.

13. Property owners or developers must submit an application to Auckland Transport and receive approval before placing any encroaching object on, under or above a legal road.

14. Auckland Transport reserves the right to exercise its discretion not to proceed with the licence or encumbrance at any point during the application process.

Who can apply

15. Usually only the owners of land immediately adjoining the legal road can apply for a licence. Any other applicant is likely to have their application declined unless they get prior written consent from adjoining landowners (and service/utility authorities if any of their utilities are affected).

16. Only those properties immediately next to the land in question are adjoining owners. This does not include neighbours who are one or more properties removed.

Application process

17. The application process is as follows:

No.

Task

Action

Initial enquiry

Make an initial enquiry to Auckland Transport to see if they will consider the encroachment licence.

Formal application

If the initial enquiry is confirmed by Auckland Transport, then you can submit a formal application.

Also required with the application:

· Written consent from adjoining landowners.

· Signed consents from service authorities (if any of their utilities are affected), copies of plans, aerials (if applicable), cross sections etc.

· Non-refundable deposit of $1,000 (incl. GST).

Memorandum of Encumbrance

18. Consent to a licence by Auckland Transport does not constitute regulatory approval to placement of encroachments within the road corridor. In cases where the encroachment may be permanent, a memorandum of encumbrance will be required to be entered into and registered against the adjoining properties' land title at no cost to Auckland Transport.

19. There is further information regarding the encroachment licence and the process within the following link:

https://at.govt.nz/about-us/working-on-the-road/road-processes-for-property-owners/road-encroachment-licences-or-leases/

Corridor Access Request (CAR)

20. If the applicant is digging within the road corridor, they may also need to lodge a Corridor Access Request (CAR) separate from any licence.

21. However, if single excavations are only in the grass berm and are less than 3m² or less than 6 linear metres, a CAR is not required, unless the work site or equipment encroaches onto the road corridor.

22. See attachment B for details about the information required for applying for a Corridor Access Request.

23. See attachment C for the fee schedule relating to CAR applications.

24. Detailed information regarding how to apply for a Corridor Access Request can be found at the following website: https://at.govt.nz/about-us/working-on-the-road/corridor-access-requests/

Consideration

Options for Funding

25. The Papakura Local Board has two options to fund this project.

iii) Fund the project from the Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) capital expenditure (capex) budget.

iv) Fund the project as an LDI operational expenditure (opex) grant.

26. The following table outlines the options with the benefits and risks:

No.

Option

Benefits

Risks

Fund the memorial seat from the local board capital budget.

(LDI capex)

· The memorial seat becomes an Auckland Council asset.

· The seat is maintained to a standard.

· The local board will pay the consequential operational expenditure going forward.

· The project would need to meet the criteria for a locally driven initiative criteria.

· The processes could take some time to work through.

Grant an amount to the family and they install the seat.

(LDI opex grant)

· The family would drive the project forward through to installation.

· Although the memorial seat is on public land the family would be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep.

· There is a potential risk of setting a precedent if the board funds this request outside of the contestable grants funding round.

· Although the memorial seat is on public land the family would be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep.

· The public would perceive the seat to be a council asset. Any delay in repair or lack of maintenance would reflect poorly on council.

Process for a locally driven initiative capital expenditure item

27. The process for a LDI capex item is as follows:

i) The local board and department delivering the project agree on the initiative plus on how it will be maintained going forward, which means agree the consequential opex maintenance and renewals.

ii) The costings are approved by Katrina Morgan in Investigation and Design who is in charge of the LDI Capex fund project costs.

iii) The local board formally resolve the spend.

iv) The department factor the item into their work programme to deliver.

Local board views and implications

28. The local board is being asked to make a decision about:

i) whether it wishes to fund this project or not and

ii) from which budget - the LDI capex budget or opex as a grant.

Māori impact statement

29. No consultation has been undertaken with mana whenua in relation to this project at this point.

30. Māori may benefit from the installation of the memorial seat in terms of having public access to a seat on a road berm.

Implementation

31. There are issues with implementation if the board choose to fund the memorial seat from the LDI Capex budget. There is no department to drive the project.

Papakura Local Board area

Te Rohe ā-Poari o Papakura

Papakura is nestled around the inlets and foreshores of the Manukau Harbour, stretching from the Papakura Stream north of Takanini to Drury village in the south. It is largely suburban but there are also fertile plains and rolling hills which lead out into the nearby Hunua ranges. The area around Takanini was once a huge wetland and peat bog and there are still many ancient Kauri buried there. Red Hill was a key viewpoint for local Māori and Pukekiwiriki Paa gave them a wide overview of the rohe. A long military history helped to shape the modern town but today only SAS (Special Air Service) forces are based locally.

There has been steady population growth, with 45,633 people living in Papakura in 2013, which is an increase of nearly 10 per cent since 2006. At the 2013 census, over a quarter of Papakura’s residents were Māori. The Pacific population approximately 14 per cent and the Asian population is around 13 per cent. Although the number of people aged 65 years and over has risen in the last seven years, nearly a quarter of Papakura’s population are now children aged 14 years and under.

Over recent years, the Papakura area has undergone significant residential development, and this is set to continue into the future.

From here I reach for Manurewa

until my greetings come to rest on Pukekiwiriki

below lies Papakura and there I rest.

Statement of proposal for the 2017 Papakura Local Board Plan

From the Chair

He kōrero mai i te Heamana

It is my great privilege to present this draft Local Board Plan which describes our aspirations for the Papakura area. The plan has been shaped by your views and thoughts gathered at events, meetings and workshops, and once finalised will be a strategic document to guide the local board’s decision-making for the next three years.

The plan has five key areas of focus which we have drawn together from what you have told us is important to you – the improvement of our town centre and the centres along the Great South Road from Manurewa to Papakura; providing opportunities for people to stay active, healthy and connected; supporting businesses providing local jobs, goods and services; ensuring we have a transport system that is safe, reliable, convenient and affordable; and protecting our environment and heritage for future generations.

Through this plan, the local board is proposing to invest in several key initiatives to help achieve objectives in each of these focus areas. However, operating in a constrained budget environment means we must prioritise our spending and be realistic about what we can achieve. Over the next three years, we will seek to form partnerships and work closely with other organisations and community partners, so that we can get more done.

For some things, we know that people working together in their communities can get better results. That’s why we will seek to empower and enable community groups to help and shape the direction and work together with us as your local board. We also recognise the role of mana whenua in helping to build a prosperous and secure future for Papakura and will work closely with local Māori on matters that are important to them.

Many of you have lived in Papakura for a long time and will have seen a lot of changes over that period. Whether you are a long-term resident or someone new to the area hoping to make Papakura your home, we all have a role in shaping the future together. I urge you to read this draft plan and invite your feedback. Please take this opportunity to have your say and help us to make Papakura an even more wonderful place to live.

Brent Catchpole

Chairperson, Papakura Local Board

About local boards

He kōrero mō ngā poari ā-rohe

Auckland 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 Plan
				Local board plans




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.

Developing our plan

Te whakawhanake i tā mātou mahere

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.

Carrying out our plan

Te whakatutuki i tā mātou mahere

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.

We believe that 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

· our assets such as our community centres and parks

· council staff who are responsible for delivering our annual work programme

· our Auckland Transport Local Board Transport Capital Fund allocation

· our time and energy to represent your views on matters of local importance.

In some instances, our role is focused on representing your views on matters of local importance, as we do not have the decision-making authority and/or funding to carry them out. When this is the case, we will use our time and energy to influence the relevant decision-makers, ensuring they are aware of your views and our support for them.

Empowering communities

We seek to empower and enable our communities. This means listening to what you want to achieve, directing council resources towards community aspirations and supporting diverse communities to have an input into the things they care about and which matter uniquely to them.

We will prioritise activities that are 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 the Papakura local board. 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, Papakura Local Board will continue to build on its working relationships with local Māori. The board is keen to work in partnership to jointly develop initiatives that respond to Māori aspirations and recognise their position as mana whenua and role as kaitiaki (guardians).

The Papakura Local Board has also endorsed the resolutions of the joint mana whenua and local board members working party for Māori input into local board decision-making. These include:

· establishing a representative mana whenua body for local boards to engage with directly at a governance level

· initiating te ao Māori training for local board candidates and members developed by mana whenua

· inviting mana whenua participation in local board workshops

· convening formal kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face) hui between local board members and mana whenua at marae at the start of each new term

· encouraging local board member participation in mana whenua hui.

Outcome 1: A vibrant and prosperous metropolitan centre

Whakaotinga 1: He pokapū tāone nui hihiri, whaihua

Our town centre is a great place to shop, relax and enjoy the company of family and friends

Papakura is identified in the Auckland Plan as a future ‘metropolitan centre’, which means it will develop into a larger commercial and retail centre to support residential growth in the surrounding area. More and more people are and will live in, or close to, the town centre. Taking advantage of shopping, public transport, leisure and employment opportunities on their doorstep.

It is important that we plan carefully for this expected growth in our population. Above all, we need to make Papakura a place for people, with essential services and great shopping, and places to relax, be entertained and enjoy the company of family and friends. We need to make it safe, welcoming and easy to get around for young and old, a place to celebrate our diversity and recognise our local Māori and cultural heritage.

A lot of the required infrastructure is already in place. There are leisure, sport and recreation facilities (including swimming pool), performing arts venues, an art gallery, library, museum, train station and buses all within easy walking distance. We will need to come together, though, to make the town centre a vibrant and prosperous place for everyone to use and enjoy. The Papakura Local Board will continue to work with mana whenua, local businesses, Auckland Transport, Panuku Development Auckland, central government agencies, non-government organisations, residents and other external partners to bring about change for the better in our town centre.

Last year, Auckland Council committed to developing an Integrated Area Plan for the Great South Road, from Papakura through to Manurewa. The local board has established a Papakura Commercial Project Group which will explore opportunities for new businesses, possibilities for redevelopment of older or vacant sites and the creation of new public spaces to showcase local artists and our strong Māori heritage.

Outcome: A vibrant and prosperous metropolitan centre
Objective	Key initiatives
A well planned metropolitan centre.	Work with the Papakura Commercial Project Group to plan and support the continued development of the town centre and immediate surrounds.
Joined-up thinking and planning for the Great South Road and its centres.	Develop an Integrated Area Plan to guide the development of Papakura and Takanini over the next 30 years.
A thriving centre where local people choose to shop.	Introduce programmes to attract new businesses, leisure providers and events to the town centre.
A thriving centre where local people choose to shop.	Implement strategies to improve safety and security in the Papakura town centre.
Regular local cultural and arts experiences in the Papakura town centre.	Implement a programme of cultural and arts events for the town centre.
	Fund local talent to create street art.
	Working with mana whenua and mataawaka to make our Māori heritage more visible.

Outcome 2: People in Papakura lead active, healthy and connected lives

Whakaotinga 2: Tērā te iwi o Papakura te noho ngangahau, he piki te ora, he tūhonohono te ao

We have great parks and places to play and do the things that we enjoy.

Great places to live enable people to lead rich, satisfying lives and Papakura has a wide variety of opportunities for people to connect with others in the community to enjoy their favourite pastimes. But as our population grows and becomes more diverse, we need to make sure our open space, recreation and community facilities keep pace with demand.

Papakura Local Board will continue to invest in great facilities and events that bring people together. These need to be accessible for everyone, serving multiple needs so that we get the best value for our investment. Places for young and old, and diverse interests and cultures that allow people to express their creativity and passion.

Keeping active, with others or alone is important for long-term health^{^[1]}. Many of us are involved in sport, playing competitively or socially, or supporting family and friends on the side-lines. To cater for increased numbers of active people, we are developing new sports fields at Opaheke and Hingaia and maintaining support for developments at Bruce Pulman Park. We plan to improve facilities at existing grounds over the next three years and will advocate to the governing body of Auckland Council for funding to improve the Massey Park outdoor swimming pool, so that it is available all year round for recreational swimmers to use. We will also begin work on a linked-up Greenways^{^[2]} network of safe walking, running and cycling pathways.

Many of our local venues host regional, national and international teams and events. These bring visitors in and help boost the local economy as well as showcasing the area’s own local talent and sportspeople. Papakura Local Board will help organisations to bring events here by making sure our facilities continue to meet the highest standards.

Our community venues need to be located and designed to be easily accessible, safe and suited to a variety of purposes. We will work with communities such as the Smith’s Avenue residents to develop facilities together, which meet local needs. These will be important considerations as we plan for more people who will make Papakura their home.

The local board will continue to support and invest in local programmes and activities that contribute to our general health and well-being by granting funds each year to groups and organisations to provide these in our community. We will support our rangatahi (youth) to develop and grow as leaders, and encourage our senior people to contribute their wisdom, experience and skills. You have told us that feeling safe at home and while you’re out and about in Papakura is important to you, so we will be working to address these concerns as well.

Outcome: People in Papakura lead active, healthy and connected lives
Objective	Key initiatives
Papakura’s parks, sports and recreation facilities are well used.	Continue to invest in the development of Bruce Pullman Park, and the Opaheke and Hingaia sports grounds.
	Advocate to the governing body through Council’s 10 year (Long Term Plan) budget process for the upgrade of the Massey Park outdoor swimming pool.
	Progressively upgrade existing parks, sports and recreation facilities to meet the needs of all age groups.
	Promote Papakura’s sporting facilities to national sports bodies (including schools).
Services and facilities meet the community’s needs now and into the future.	Ensure that new and existing facilities can be utilised as multi-purpose community hubs.
	Continue with the Smiths Avenue Reserve community led project.
	Develop a community hub and library for Takanini.
Communities are supported to achieve their goals and aspirations.	Help our young people to contribute, prosper and thrive^{^[3]}.
	Ensure our older people stay connected and can contribute their skills, wisdom and experience^{^[4]}.
	Invest in health promotion activities led by community.

Outcome 3: A strong local economy

Whakaotinga 3: He kaha tonu te ōhanga ā-rohe

Papakura businesses prosper, creating employment opportunities for local people.

Papakura has a diverse local economy with some large, well-known companies located here. Our growing population will attract more businesses to the area, and we want to make sure that residents, especially our youth, have the skills to find employment in the new jobs that will be created.

The indicators for economic growth in Papakura are strong^{^[5]}. There is major housing development underway with significant areas of land proposed for future urban growth, bringing new residents with increased spending power and more jobs in building and construction. We have significant employment precincts in and close to our area, including Takanini and the new development underway at Drury South. Transformation of Papakura into an attractive, major metropolitan centre for the south of Auckland will bring more retail and service businesses into the town centre itself.

This will mean new jobs and employment in Papakura, but there are challenges for local people to take advantage of them. While there is currently a larger proportion of low-skilled jobs (44%) in Papakura than in Auckland overall (40%) and a lower number of highly-skilled jobs (31% compared to 37%) this is expected to change over time. We will need to focus on up-skilling our workforce so that this new prosperity is enjoyed locally.

Papakura Local Board will continue to work collaboratively with all sectors to ensure we capture the benefits for local people. This includes local schools, training providers and employers to ensure young people are ready for work and apprenticeships; local business associations and networks to identify the skills needed now and into the future; and not-for-profit organisations that have wider social objectives, such as providing employment for people with otherwise limited opportunities.

The local board is keen to develop ideas that will bring more visitors to Papakura, and will work with Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) and local Māori to cultivate new opportunities for tourism.

We will also support, through funding and other means, community and social enterprises to develop new ideas that might not be viable otherwise. We will work with residents to establish ‘innovation stations’ and community learning hubs where people can learn, share experience and develop ideas.

Outcome: A strong local economy
Objective	Key initiatives
Local people find rewarding local employment.	Set aside funding for scholarships for young people.
	Support job-ready programmes for young people to move into employment.
	Enable the development of social enterprise, entrepreneurship and innovation.
	Promote the Papakura area as an ideal location for business to set up.
Business in Papakura thrives as local people buy from local businesses.	Provide leadership through procurement from local businesses.
Increase numbers of visitors who contribute to our local economy.	Promote Papakura as a visitor destination.
	Develop visitor information packages.

Outcome 4: Papakura is well-connected and easy to move around

Whakaotinga 4: He tūhono tonu, he māmā te haereere noa i Papakura

Our roads should be free from congestion, public transport convenient and reliable, walkways and cycleways safe and connected.

We are fortunate in Papakura to be able to easily use the Auckland rail network or hop on the motorway to get to where we need to go. But those who need to travel outside the area during peak travel times will know how congested our roads are and how long we can spend getting to work.

As Papakura’s population grows and new housing developments are built in and around our area, the transport system will continue to be under pressure. Projects to increase the number of lanes on the motorway between Papakura and Manukau and to improve the Takanini interchange are underway. The introduction of more frequent trains and connected bus services will help too, especially when the City Rail Loop is finished. An alternative four-lane arterial route planned along Mill Road will make a difference too but this is still some time away from completion.

These big projects are funded and managed by Auckland Transport, the New Zealand Transport Agency and Kiwi Rail. But as more people come to live in Papakura, we will also have to make sure that our local roads and transport systems can cope with more of us getting about. The local board will continue to advocate to Auckland Transport for grade separation in Takanini (Manuroa Road, Taka Street and Spartan Road) and to progress the new Mill Road arterial route. We will also push for improved park and ride facilities at both our train stations.

A “Greenways – Local Paths Plan” was completed for Papakura in 2016. This shows how we can provide walking and cycling connections which are safe and pleasant, while also improving local ecology and providing access to recreational opportunities. It will link together areas of housing and employment, parks, shopping centres, recreational facilities, places of interest and transport hubs. We will work with Auckland Transport, other agencies and local communities to scope and begin implementing this plan.

You have shared your concerns with us about the state of some of our walkways and footpaths, which makes it difficult to get around safely in some places, especially for the elderly, those with a disability or families with prams or pushchairs. The local board will advocate to Auckland Transport to progressively fix these so that we can all get to where need to go safely.

Outcome: Papakura is well-connected and easy to move around
Objective	Key initiative
Papakura’s cycle ways and walk ways provide safe, connected alternative routes to get us to where we need to go.	Begin implementation of the Papakura Greenways – Local Paths and Cycle ways Plan.
	Establish safe, clear, walk and cycle links between key facilities.
	Improve, through Auckland Transport, pathway safety including lighting and accessibility.
Public transport is safe, convenient, reliable and affordable.	Advocate to Auckland Transport and KiwiRail for a third line to futureproof the rail network.
	Advocate to Auckland Transport to improve park and ride facilities at the Papakura and Takanini railway stations.
Our urban roads are safe and free from congestion.	Continue to advocate Auckland Transport for grade separation in Takanini and progress on the Mill road arterial route.

Outcome 5: Treasured for its environment and heritage

Whakaotinga 5: He manawapātia mō tōna taiao me āna taonga tuku iho

We value our natural environment and heritage, protecting and nourishing it for future generations

As Papakura continues to grow, so will the challenges to maintaining a liveable environment and protecting both our natural ecology and built heritage. Pollution and waste will need to be better managed and if possible eliminated, and the quality of our air and water monitored and improved.

Mana whenua connection to the land is both spiritual and cultural. The Manukau Harbour, the streams flowing into it and the land surrounding it sustained and nourished Māori for generations. We need to maintain and improve the health of our environment if it is to continue to provide for us into the future.

Māori as kaitiaki (guardians) have a significant role to play in protecting our environment but it is a responsibility we must all share. Papakura Local Board will seek to partner with local Māori in a joint commitment to ensure a sustainable future for our environment. Together we will champion practices and projects that will serve to strengthen our connection to the land and harbour, and to minimise the long-term impact of growth.

We will continue to support the Manukau Harbour Forum, working with eight other local boards to improve water quality and restore the coastal environment. In addition, we will explore ways to improve the wetlands and waterways that feed into the harbour, and seek to ensure that wastewater and stormwater treatment is of the highest standard.

We must also reduce the waste we produce to help conserve our finite resources for future generations. Recycling helps to reduce the harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses that are released from rubbish in landfill and to lower the pollution caused by waste. The local board will support the establishment of a network of community recycling centres so that it is easy, convenient and affordable to reuse and recycle unwanted goods and garden waste.

The Papakura area has a rich and diverse history. Understanding the evolution and development of Papakura is part of what helps us identify with the area and makes us feel proud to live here. Sites of historic and cultural significance need to be identified, restored and protected, and the stories of the past captured and told. The local board intends to continue working with mana whenua and the Papakura Museum to make our history more visible and known.

Outcome: Treasured for its environment and heritage
Objective	Key initiatives
The environment in and around our harbour and streams is enjoyed by increasing numbers of people.	Continue support for the Manukau Harbour Forum.
	Invest in mangrove and Pacific oyster removal and control.
	Implement initiatives to improve water quality in our streams and Manukau Harbour.
Programmes to reduce, reuse and recycle are successfully implemented in Papakura.	Establish a network of recycling centres in partnership with other agencies.
	Promote education and knowledge programmes about recycling.
Papakura’s history and heritage is highlighted and celebrated.	Identify wāhi tapu (sacred places) and other taonga (treasures).
	Identify heritage buildings and areas.

Financial information

He kōrero take pūtea

This purpose of this section is to provide a financial overview of the Papakura 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.

DRAFT

Summary of the draft Papakura Local Board Plan 2017

Help Shape Papakura’s future

FROM THE CHAIR

It is my privilege to present this summary of our draft local board plan, which describes our aspirations for Papakura.

The plan has been shaped by the views and thoughts you’ve shared with us at meetings, workshops and events, and once finalised will guide our decision-making for the next three years.

One of the biggest challenges facing Papakura is significant population growth that will put pressure on our roads and other infrastructure, so a key focus for us is to ensure developments are well planned and built to support that growth.

We also want to improve our town centre and hubs on the Great South Road to attract new business to the area. At the same time, we’ll support local businesses to provide local employment opportunities, particularly for our young people.

We also think it’s important we ensure people have opportunities to stay active, healthy and connected; that our transport system is safe, reliable, convenient and affordable; and our environment and heritage is protected and preserved for future generations.

I invite you to read the full plan and to tell us if we’re on the right track. I look forward to your feedback.

Brent Catchpole

Chair

Papakura Local Board

This summary is an overview of the statement of proposal for our draft 2017 Papakura Local Board Plan. We encourage you to read the full draft plan, available online at, shapeauckland.co.nz at public libraries, council service centres and local board offices and tell us what you think by Friday 30 June, 2017. Or tell us what you think in person – see page XX for details of local meetings.

WHAT WE PROPOSE TO FOCUS ON

We propose to focus on five outcomes. Our plan is based on the feedback and ideas that our community has given to us over time.

Outcome 1: A vibrant and prosperous metropolitan centre

We want our town centre to be a great place to shop, relax and enjoy the company of family and friends. We will contribute to this by:

· introducing programmes to attract new businesses, events and leisure operators

· supporting strategies to improve safety and security

· encouraging regular cultural and arts experiences in the Papakura town centre, including street art and events

· ensuring our Māori heritage is more visible throughout Papakura

· encouraging joined-up thinking and planning of the Great South Road and its centres of Takanini and Papakura

Outcome 2: People in Papakura lead active, healthy and connected lives

Having plenty of great places and spaces where our people can get together and to do things they love is important, so we will focus on:

· ensuring our local parks and sport recreation facilities are well used by promoting them to national sports bodies and schools

· continuing to invest in developments at Bruce Pullman Park and Opaheke and Hingaia sports grounds

· advocating to the governing body through the 10-year budget process to fund an upgrade of the Massey Park outdoor pool

· developing a community hub and library in Takanini

· continuing the community-led project in Smiths Avenue Reserve.

Outcome 3: A strong local economy
A strong local economy means local businesses prosper, there are local jobs for local people and new companies will want to come here. We will encourage this by:

· funding scholarships and supporting job-ready programmes for young people to move into training, study or employment

· working with Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED), the Southern Initiative and other partners to attract businesses to Papakura

· enabling social enterprise, entrepreneurship and innovation

· promoting Papakura as a visitor destination.

Outcome 4: Papakura is well-connected and easy to move around

We will do our part to make excellent transport connections and infrastructure a reality by:

· ensuring our cycle and walkways are accessible, well-lit and connected so they get people where they need to go

· asking Auckland Transport to improve park and ride facilities at Papakura and Takanini rail stations

· advocating to Auckland Transport to progress the Mill Road route and for grade separation in Takanini to improve safety and reduce congestion.

Outcome 5: Treasured for its environment and heritage

Papakura’s rich heritage and beautiful natural environment needs to be protected, improved and celebrated for future generations to enjoy. To ensure that happens we want to:

· support programmes that improve the environment and water quality of the Manukau Harbour and our streams

· remove and control mangroves and Pacific oysters from Papakura Local Board coastal areas

· encourage waste minimisation through recycling education programmes

· partner with others to establish a network of recycling centres

· celebrate our heritage by identifying wāhi tapu/sacred sites, taonga/treasures, and heritage buildings and areas.

Setting direction/ priorities/ budget

Staff explained that they wanted to undertake a whanau centric co-design process for community-led place making at Smiths Ave. The process is aimed at developing capability and finding a way forward that works for the community.

The board members gave the following feedback:

· The community needs to see something happening immediately - need to find the quick wins. The community is tired of talkfests.

· Health and safety needs to be front of mind.

· A masterplan is required.

· Need to involve the government agencies:

· WINZ

· HNZ

· Health Services, eg: Breast screen

· A collective approach is required

· Transparency is required, particularly in tracking money spent on the project

· Communications need to be tailored to meet the community’s needs.

· An operational budget may be required going forward.

· Need to provide something useful to the community.

Ideas put forward were:

· Service providers – collective impact approach

· Life skills

· Social procurement

· Create a reason for people to come

· Homework centre

· Safety

· Social entrepreneur

· Innovation

· connecting civil infrastructure opportunities

· teaching young people how to ride motorbikes or bicycles

· skill shed

· link in with youth connections work

· need to have a dedicated paid person to co-ordinate and develop the relationships. A door to door, face to face approach will be required to develop the relationships.

Potential Partners:

· Foundation North

· Tainui

The board members endorsed in principle the Southern Initiative and the Community Led Development Group activating a whanau centric co-design process for place-making at Smiths Ave.

The board members stressed that the facility needed to be a multi-use facility and could not be captured by one group.

Board members agreed it is important for members to sit on the project group. They felt this project would fall under the community services work stream.
