Auckland Council's Quarterly Performance Report: Hibiscus and Bays Local Board
Quarter Three, 1 January - 31 March 2017

File No.: CP2017/08311

Purpose

1. To provide an integrated quarterly performance report for Quarter 3, 2016/2017 against the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board Agreement work programme.

Executive summary

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

3. Of significance this quarter, the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board engaged with the community on the Annual Budget 2017/2018 and upcoming local board agreement at two separate events; at Browns Bay Village Green in conjunction with ‘Children’s Day’, and at Orewa Beach in conjunction with the annual sandcastle competition. The local board also attended a sub-regional hui with Mana Whenua along with other northern boards on the upcoming local board plans.

4. The Work Programme Snapshot for the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board (Attachment A) shows a positive trend that overall delivery is meeting expectations, with a few exceptions.

5. Financial operating performance is tracking over budget year to date, with operating revenue less than anticipated by budget specifically in leisure, and expenditure predominantly tracking to budget. Some operating expenditure Locally Driven Initiatives are forecast not to be fully delivered by the end of the financial year but these will be carried forward into 2017/18. Capital expenditure is delivering ahead of budget year to date due to the completion of some of the larger projects in Asset Based Services. Further delivery is expected in quarter four with Locally Driven Initiatives capital expenditure not delivered being carried forward to the next financial year. Further detail is provided in Attachment B.

6. Key Performance Measures (Attachment C) for the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board show a trend that 70 per cent of measures will achieve target by year-end. This is explained in further detail in the Key Performance Indicators section.

7. All operating departments with agreed work programmes have provided a quarterly update against their work programme delivery (Attachment D), with the majority of items reported as ‘green’ status (on track), except for 13 items with ‘amber’ status (some delays) and six items with ‘red’ status (behind delivery, significant risk).

Recommendation/s

That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:

a) note the performance report for the financial quarter ending 31 March 2017.

Financial performance

10. Financial performance of the local board against Quarter 3, 2016/2017 is detailed in Attachment B; however there are some points to be aware of:

· Operating expenditure year to date is almost on budget overall. Locally Driven Initiative (LDI) expenditure is under budget in community services and environmental management but these areas are expected to be fully delivered in the last quarter. LDI planning and development actions on centre plans is not expected to be fully delivered by year end. Funding will be carried forward to the next financial year. Asset Based Services (ABS) is similarly under budget overall in outsourced works and services and parks repairs and maintenance.

· Revenue is under budget due to an accounting adjustment in Stanmore Bay Leisure centre to account for a prior period GST adjustment.

· Capital spend of $7.69m is $230k ahead of budget as larger projects such as the Hibiscus Bays Leisure Centre and Stoney Homestead have been substantially completed. Sportsfield renewals are also tracking well. Those projects not completed by year end will be carried forward into the next financial year.

Key performance measures

11. In summary, key performance measures show that:

· Year-end outlook is for 70 per cent of measures to achieve targets.

· The year-end outlook is below target for some measures in local parks, sports and recreation, and local community services that need to be addressed.

12. Measures that are not on track to be achieved include:

· Percentage of funding/grant applicants satisfied with information, assistance and advice provided. A series of community workshops is planned for FY17 to build community groups’ capacity to submit quality applications and to provide further advice to applicants, which should improve the result for this measure.

· Facility utilisation at off-peak times for council managed community centres and venues for hire. The digital booking system, which began recording bookings in FY17 Q1, is expected to improve customer experience and utilisation, along with a marketing campaign in Q3.

· Proportion of local programmes that deliver intended environmental actions and/or outcomes. The Northwest Wildlink assistance programme is at risk of non-delivery this financial year due to delays in the procurement process.

Note: not all key performance measures will have a quarterly performance indicator. Further detail is provided in Attachment C.

Key initiatives updates from the 2016/2017 work programme

13. All operating departments with an approved 2016/2017 work programme have provided performance report updates via SharePoint for quarter three (Attachment D). The following are progress updates against key initiatives identified in the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board Plan:

· The Stanmore Bay Pool and Leisure Centre Upgrade achieved practical completion for the main contract. The new spa pool and sauna are fully operational and are experiencing a good level of usage with excellent feedback.

· Progress continues on environmental key initiatives through North West Wildlink and Weiti Wildlink programmes and riparian restoration planting through the Love our Bays programme.

Re-allocation of Locally Driven Initiatives opex budget to the Operations Team for one-off track maintenance work

File No.: CP2017/08744

Purpose

1. To approve the re-allocation of $10,500 Locally Driven Initiatives opex budget to the Community Facilities Operations Team for one-off track maintenance work in the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area.

Executive summary

2. Each year local boards approve work programmes with departments to deliver on initiatives and projects in their local board agreement and their local board plan.

3. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board has a 2016/2017 work programme for Local Economic Development, approved 20 July 2016. One initiative within this work programme was World Master Games Leverage with an allocation of $15,000 Locally Driven Initiatives opex budget. Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development were able to present one proposal from a local business association for $4,435 leaving a balance of approximately $10,500 unallocated.

4. Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development have confirmed that as they are unable to utilise the balance, they are in agreement for it to be reallocated by the local board.

5. Local board services staff have had discussions with the Community Facilities Operations Team (Tahi) who have confirmed that they can use the budget for a one-off tidy up involving vegetation clearing and track maintenance work such as gravel top-ups within the local board area.

6. If not reallocated, the budget cannot be carried forward and will be treated as savings.

Recommendation/s

That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:

a) approves re-allocation of the $10,500 Locally Driven Initiatives opex budget from the Local Economic Development Work Programme (Local Planning and Development, World Masters Games budget) to Community Facilities Operations (Tahi) for one-off track maintenance work to be undertaken prior to 30 June 2017 across both subdivisions of the local board area.

Comments

7. The local board has an approved work programme for 2016/2017 with Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development (ATEED) for local economic development initiatives. Work programmes are reported on quarterly to provide updates on progress to the local board. During quarter three, it became apparent that not all of the allocated budget for ‘World Masters Leverage’ would be spent.

8. Local board services staff discussed possible re-allocation of the balance with the Community Facilities Operation Team (Tahi) who indicated they may be able to do some one-off tidy-up work within the local board area. This would include vegetation clearing on and around tracks and walkways and other minor maintenance such as gravel top-ups.

9. ATEED staff agreed with the re-allocation of the remaining $10,500 from the ‘Local Planning and Development, World Master Games Leverage’ budget to the Community Facilities Operation (Tahi) team.

10. If not reallocated, the remaining budget will be treated as savings as it cannot be carried forward.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

11. The local board has been given the opportunity to reallocate this Locally Driven Initiatives budget for a one-off enhancement rather than it being treated as savings.

Māori impact statement

12. There are no particular impacts on Maori which are different from general users of the local track network within the local board area.

Implementation

13. Following approval by the local board, the Community Facilities Operations Team (Tahi) will ensure the tidy-up work on clearing vegetation and track improvements is completed before the end of the financial year, 30 June 2017. Work will be undertaken across both subdivisions of the local board area.

Panuku Development Auckland Local Board Six-Monthly Update 1 October 2016 to 31 March 2017

File No.: CP2017/08407

Purpose

1. To provide an overview of Panuku Development Auckland including any major issues, projects and activities within the local board area for the six months 1 October 2016 to 31 March 2017.

Background

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 Development Auckland 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 Development Auckland 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 Development Auckland 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 Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:

a) note the Panuku Development Auckland Local Board Update 1 October 2016 to 31 March 2017

Local Activities

Portfolio Management

6. Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) manages “non-service” property owned by Auckland Council (AC) 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 31 March 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 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 Hibiscus and Bays Local Board Area

10. Panuku urrently manages 65 commercial and residential properties within the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area.

Commercial Properties	1. 52
Residential Properties	2. 13
Total Properties Managed	65

Business Interests

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 Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area.

Portfolio Strategy

Optimisation

13. The 2015-2025 Long-term Plan reflects council’s desire 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 AT 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	$42.8 million as at 31 March 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: AC, 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 Hibiscus and Bays 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
19 Anzac Road, Browns Bay	An off-street car park identified by Auckland Transport as not required for future service needs. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board does not support the proposed disposal of this site on the basis that there has been no investigation into the cumulative effects of accelerated growth in the Browns Bay area, the Unitary Plan now allows even greater density than was anticipated; that 19 Anzac Road, Browns Bay is currently well used as a carpark; and that the results of a requested Auckland Transport parking survey for Browns Bay have not been provided and considered. The results of the rationalisation process did not identify any alternative planned or funded service uses. Given 19 Anzac Road, Browns Bay is currently formed as a carpark, disposal options to ensure that the amenity value of the car park is not lost to the Browns Bay community will be investigated if this property is approved for disposal. This option would minimise the loss of amenity value to the community and can be explored further should the property be approved for disposal. A report will be submitted to the Finance and Performance Committee’s 11 April 2017 meeting for a final decision on the proposed disposal.
Section 1 SO 69059, East Coast Road, Redvale	An unformed stopped road surrounded by the neighbouring rural block resulting from a planned subdivision and disposal that did not proceed in 1988. The board supports the proposed disposal of this 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.
8 Hiwi Street, Stanmore Bay	Vacant land that is the remainder of land acquired by the former Rodney District Council for the purpose of Whangaparaoa Road Widening Project in 1998. Consultation with the board is scheduled for mid-2017.

Acquisitions and Disposals

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

Acquisitions

22. Fourteen properties have been purchased this financial year for open space purposes around the region at a value of $23.3m, and three properties have been purchased for storm water purposes at a value of $16.2m.

23. Three properties were purchased in the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area during the reporting period.

24. Panuku undertakes acquisitions for Auckland Council Parks and Healthy Waters under delegation from council’s Chief Executive. Panuku does not unilaterally decide what properties to buy and when but rather follows a directive to manage the commercial transactions following committee approval to purchase a particular property. A prerequisite of the committee resolution is reporting to the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board.

25. All land acquisition committee resolutions contain a confidentiality clause due to the commercially sensitive nature of ongoing transactions, and thus cannot be reported on while in process.

Disposals

26. For the eight months to March 2017 the Panuku disposals team has achieved $21.5m of unconditional net sales proceeds from the sale of 13 properties against the 2016/2017 disposals target of $20.0m for the year. The disposals target is agreed with council and is reviewed on an annual basis.

27. Two properties were sold in the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area: land adjacent to 18 Pine Road, Orewa, and 601 Beach Road, Rothesay Bay.

Housing for Older People

28. 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.

29. 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.

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

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

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

33. 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.

34. The following HfOP village is located within the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area:

3. Village	4. Address	5. Number of units
6. Torbay Flats	7. 2 Wairere Road, Torbay	8. 18

Development

35. Panuku is contributing commercial input into approximately 50 region wide council-driven renewal and housing supply initiatives.

36. Panuku works with partners and stakeholders over the life of projects. It also champions best practice project delivery to achieve best value outcomes within defined cost, time and quality parameters.

37. A high level update on development activities in the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area as below:

38. 20 Link Crescent, Whangaparaoa – Our development partner McConnell Property obtained Resource Consent for the subdivision of 20 Link Crescent, which will see the site transformed into a 60 Lot residential subdivision including a 2700m² public reserve and children’s playground. Civil works commenced in October 2016 following a cultural induction and site blessing by Mana Whenua. The civil works are completed, with the construction of a new road and park well underway and these will be completed in June 2017. Titles are expected to be available in July 2017 with construction of the 60 homes to commence in October 2017.

39. An integral part of this development is the environmental enhancement of the D’Oyly Reserve. Panuku obtained resource consent for this discrete project and will continue to work alongside Auckland Council’s Healthy Waters Department who are the appropriate council lead for this kind of reserve enhancement work. Public consultation for the project concluded in December 2016, followed by detailed design work which is now in progress. It is a condition of the 20 Link Crescent Consent that a section (250m) of the D’Oyly Reserve project is completed by October 2018, physical works are on track to commence in February 2018.

Regional Activities

40. 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.

41. 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

42. The highlights for the last six months were:

a) Sir John Wells ended his term as chairperson in November 2016. Sir John has had a long association with the AC 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 2016. 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. Thirty 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 2016, 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

43. Over the next few months, Panuku will:

k) Formalise the joint venture between AC and JVCo to manage the HfOP portfolio and tenants with legal agreements being negotiated and Community Housing Provider registration being prepared. JVCo will take over the management of the HfOP 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.
