1          Welcome

 

 

 

2          Apologies

 

At the close of the agenda no apologies had been received.

 

3          Declaration of Interest

 

Members are reminded of the need to be vigilant to stand aside from decision making when a conflict arises between their role as a member and any private or other external interest they might have.

 

The Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members (the Code) requires elected members to fully acquaint themselves with, and strictly adhere to, the provisions of Auckland Council’s Conflicts of Interest Policy.  The policy covers two classes of conflict of interest:

 

i)          A financial conflict of interest, which is one where a decision or act of the local board could reasonably give rise to an expectation of financial gain or loss to an elected member; and

 

ii)         A non-financial conflict interest, which does not have a direct personal financial component.  It may arise, for example, from a personal relationship, or involvement with a non-profit organisation, or from conduct that indicates prejudice or predetermination.

 

The Office of the Auditor General has produced guidelines to help elected members understand the requirements of the Local Authority (Member’s Interest) Act 1968.  The guidelines discuss both types of conflicts in more detail, and provide elected members with practical examples and advice around when they may (or may not) have a conflict of interest.

 

Copies of both the Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members and the Office of the Auditor General guidelines are available for inspection by members upon request. 

 

Any questions relating to the Code or the guidelines may be directed to the Relationship Manager in the first instance.

 

 

4          Confirmation of Minutes

 

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)         confirm the ordinary minutes of its meeting, held on Wednesday, 19 April 2017, including the confidential section, and the extraordinary minutes of its meeting, held on Wednesday, 3 May 2017, as true and correct records.

 

 

5          Leave of Absence

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for leave of absence had been received.

 

6          Acknowledgements

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for acknowledgements had been received.

 

7          Petitions

 

At the close of the agenda no requests to present petitions had been received.

 

8          Deputations

 

Standing Order 3.20 provides for deputations. Those applying for deputations are required to give seven working days notice of subject matter and applications are approved by the Chairperson of the Kaipātiki Local Board. This means that details relating to deputations can be included in the published agenda. Total speaking time per deputation is ten minutes or as resolved by the meeting.

 

8.1       Pest Free Kaipātiki

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this deputation is to address the Kaipātiki Local Board regarding the regarding allocation of funding to the Pest Free Kaipātiki programme.

Executive Summary

2.       Janet Cole and Jo Knight of Pest Free Kaipātiki will be in attendance to address the Kaipātiki Local Board regarding the regarding allocation of funding to the Pest Free Kaipātiki programme.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)      receive the deputation from Janet Cole and Jo Knight of Pest Free Kaipātiki.

b)      thank Janet Cole, Jo Knight and Pest Free Kaipātiki for their attendance and presentation.

 

 

 

9          Public Forum

Kaipātiki Local Board

17 May 2017

 

 

Kauri Glen walkway - partial section realignment and track closure.

 

File No.: CP2017/08320

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       To seek approval from the Kaipātiki Local Board for the closure of section 18 of the Kauri Glen walkway to comply with the biosecurity and Kauri Dieback Policy, and approve track realignment Option A. 

Executive summary

2.       The Kauri Glen Walkway realignment has been approved by the Kaipātiki Local Board through the 2016/17 Community Facilities renewals work programme.

3.       The concept design has been developed, and staff require approval from the local board to proceed with Option A, which will result in the closure of the current track after the realignment has been completed.

4.       Option A is the proposed realignment of section 18 of the track as shown in Attachment A. It is the preferred option of council staff as it will close the section of track which currently goes through the kauri tree grove.

5.       The kauri trees are currently at risk due to the spread of Kauri Dieback Disease through the location of the current track and the realignment of the track will protect the tree grove.

6.       A meeting was held 10 March 2017 with a working group, where it was agreed section 18 should be closed and a new track created. A site walkover was also undertaken on 5 April 2017 to agree the alignment of the new track and the location of the new viewing platform.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)      approve the closure of section 18 of the Kauri Glen Walkway to comply with Auckland Council’s Biosecurity and Kauri Dieback Policy.

b)      approve Option A for the Kauri Glen Walkway track alignment and new viewing platform, as presented in Attachment A to the agenda report.

 

 

Comments

Kauri Glen walkway renewal

7.       The Kauri Glen Walkway network renewal was approved by the Kaipātiki Local Board in the 2016/17 Community Facilities renewals work programme. This project will renew the track network in Kauri Glen Reserve to improve the track condition and user experience of the reserve.

8.       Mapped options for the renewal of the Kauri Glen track network were undertaken by Frame Group Consultants, provided as Attachment A.

Closure of walkway section 18

9.       There is a significant grove of kauri trees in the reserve that are currently healthy and show no sign of Kauri Dieback Disease. These trees are at risk of developing Kauri Dieback Disease should walkway section 18 remain open.

10.     Auckland Council’s Biosecurity policy recommends that the track is closed to public access and a suitable alternative route away from significant kauri be identified. 

11.     Installing a boardwalk along walkway section 18 was considered by councils Community Facilities and Biosecurity staff, but was ruled out due the disturbance and methodology of installation and the risks associated with this for introducing Kauri Dieback Disease and causing damages to kauri tree roots.

12.     At its 15 February 2017 business meeting, the Kaipātiki Local Board resolved (resolution number KT/2017/10) to establish a community working group to develop the realigned option.

Options for section 18 realignment

13.     Council staff requested Frame Group consultants to provide options for realignment of section 18.

14.     Two options were identified - a full alignment (Option A) and a partial alignment (Option B).

15.     Option A alignment along offers step-free access that should benefit low mobility users and potentially bring new users into the reserve.

16.     Both alignments continue to provide a walkway loop for park users to enjoy.

17.     Option A provides an alternative walkway loop in this section of Kauri Glen Reserve that does not put existing kauri at risk to Kauri Dieback Disease.

18.     Option B provides an alternative walkway loop that still passes significant kauri, some of which are not currently alongside a track, and so would put these kauri at risk of Kauri Dieback Disease.

Consultation for section 18 realignment

19.     Auckland Councils Biosecurity team were consulted on the realignment options. Feedback received indicated that Biosecurity staff did not support Option B due to the new exposure of significant kauri to the risk of Kauri Dieback Disease.

20.     In line with the Kaipātiki Local Board resolution (resolution number KT/2017/10), a community working group was established, and consisted of representatives from:

·          Kauri Glen Bush Society;

·          Birkenhead Town Centre Business Association;

·          Northcote College;

·          Kaipātiki Local Board;

·          Auckland Council’s Community Facilities department; and

·          Frame Group Consultants.

21.     A meeting with the community working group was held on 10 March 2017 to discuss the realignment options. The realignment options for walkway section 18 (refer Attachment B), were provided and discussed at this meeting, where the following points were agreed:

·          the proposed layout for Option A was the most suitable for realignment of walkway section 18;

·          Option A alignment will be marked up on site at Kauri Glen Reserve and walked over with the working group to agree final alignment

·          a viewing platform that would allow views of the kauri without putting them at risk should be included in Option A, with the group to be consulted on the final location;

·          an educational and media campaign on why section 18 is being closed and realigned should be implemented

·          further consultation is required with Northcote College on the location of access points from the school sports fields onto the new track;

·          council staff will investigate further the feasibility of a link from City View Terrace as part of the wider network design, noting this would not be covered under the renewals budget; and

·          council staff will investigate further options for including section 22 with the network design, noting this would not be covered under the renewals budget.

22.     The community working group undertook a site walk on 5 April 2017 to better understand the proposed alignment of Option A and the potential locations for a viewing platform.

23.     Additional feedback received during the site walk included:

·          Request for council staff to include options and costs for using Northcote Colleges sports fields as part of the access route, where the alignment comes close to the field. This option would require approval from the Department of Conservation as the landowner and also an easement being put in place for access and use rights.

·          Further consultation with the community working group will be required to confirm the exact location of the walkway and viewing platform along the Option A route, once more detailed information is received from an arborist, ecologist and biosecurity.

·          Some members in the working group have concerns the new aligned track runs too close to the boundary Northcote College.

·          Some members in the working group have concerns that the new alignment does not provide people with the large kauri tree experience that the existing section 18 walkway provides. 

Consideration

Local board views and implications

24.     The Kaipātiki Local Board has approved the track renewal through the 2016/17 Community Facilities renewals work programme.

25.     Members of the Kaipātiki Local Board were included in the community working group for the realignment of the walkway section 18.

26.     The Kaipātiki Local Board Plan 2014, includes an outcome to provide green open spaces and environments that enable active and healthy lifestyles and protect the natural heritage. In this outcome, it commented that the local board was aware of the dangers of Kauri Dieback Disease to the native bush and would work with relevant agencies, volunteer groups and the community to prevent the disease from spreading into the local board area. The closure of the track and the approval of Option A will meet this outcome. 

Māori impact statement

27.     Local iwi will be engaged through the consenting process in late 2017.

Implementation

28.     Option A (realignment of section 18 track) is estimated to cost $130,000 and can be funded through the Community Facilities renewals work programme.

29.     If the local board approves the closure of the track, this will occur once the completion of the realignment of section 18 of the walkway has been completed.

30.     If the local board approves Option A, as recommended by staff, work can commence on the design and consent of the track immediately, in consultation with the working group.

Reinstatement of targeted rates and return of management role to Northcote Town Centre Business Improvement District

 

File No.: CP2017/06909

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       To advise the local board on progress to re-establish the Northcote Business Improvement District programme whilst under interim management by council.

Executive summary

2.       Northcote Town Centre Incorporated (NTC) operates a Business Improvement District (BID) programme in Northcote.

3.       NTC is one of 48 BIDs in the Auckland Council area which receive targeted rate funds from their members to provide services and programmes.  All BIDs are bound to comply with the Auckland Council BID Policy as a condition of receiving targeted rates.

4.       Compliance with the BID Policy is demonstrated by the BIDs preparing certain documents to be approved at their annual general meetings (AGMs), and providing these documents to council.

5.       NTC failed to comply with the BID Policy for the 2015/2016 financial year, and failed to respond to requests from council to provide the required documents. 

6.       In response to these issues, at its 22 June 2016 meeting, the Kaipātiki Local Board resolved to withhold the Northcote BID targeted rate funds for the 2016-2017 financial year, and to transfer management of the Northcote BID programme to council. (resolution KT/2016/72)

7.       Since that time, the BID programme in Northcote has been managed on an interim basis by the council BID team in partnership with NTC.  Under council management, an interim manager has been selected by the NTC governing committee.

8.       This report confirms that NTC has now fulfilled all requirements of the BID Policy for the year ending June 2016, and recommends the management of the Northcote BID programme be returned NTC.

9.       NTC held its AGM on 27 April 2017.  At this meeting a business plan and budget for 2017/2018 were adopted.  The budget sought a BID targeted rate grant of $120,000 for 2017/2018.

 

Recommendations

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)      transfers management of the Northcote Business Improvement District Programme from Auckland Council staff back to Northcote Town Centre Incorporated.

b)      recommend to the governing body the striking of the Northcote Business Improvement District targeted rate of $120,000 as included in the 2017-2018 Annual Plan.

c)      reinstate the payment of the Northcote Business Improvement District grant to Northcote Town Centre Incorporated effective from 1 July 2017.

 

 

Comments

10.     The Northcote Business Improvement District is funded from a BID targeted rate placed on commercial properties located within the Northcote town centre area. Council collects the rates then disburses these funds as a BID grant to Northcote Town Centre Incorporated (NTC), which uses the money to implement the Northcote BID business plan. This business plan includes programmes and activities to promote the town centre and provide enhanced security services.  

11.     All business associations that are part of the BID programme are bound to comply with the Auckland Council BID Policy as a condition of receiving targeted rates.

12.     In the 2015-2016 financial year, NTC failed to comply with its obligations under the BID Policy (both the 2011 and 2016 versions), and demonstrated an inadequate level of separation between the management of the BID programme and governance functions of NTC.

13.     At an extraordinary meeting on 22 June 2016, the Kaipātiki Local Board resolved to withhold the Northcote BID targeted rate grant of $120,000 for the 2016/2017 financial year, and to transfer management of the Northcote BID and the Northcote BID grant to council. (resolution KT/2016/72) 

MOVED by Chairperson K McIntyre, seconded by Member L Pigg:  

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)      notes its concern that the management of the Northcote Business Improvement District programme has reached this stage and agrees that immediate action is necessary to ensure accountability and prudent stewardship of ratepayer funds.

b)      request that the Northcote Town Centre Incorporated meet all the accountability requirements of the operative Business Improvement District Policy (2011) by providing the following information in accordance with section 3.15 (2) of the policy:

i.   audited accounts;

ii.  an annual report for the previous year;

iii. a strategic plan covering the current three to five year period;

iv. an annual business plan; and

v.  a budget for the following financial year.

and adhere to section 3.13 of the Business Improvement District Policy (2011) by showing a clear division between the governance of the Business Improvement District Partnership Programme and its management.

c)    requests officers withhold the 2016/2017 Northcote Business Improvement District targeted rate grant  payment of $120,000, designated for the Northcote Business Improvement District Partnership Programme until:

i.     the requirements outlined in resolution b) above are fulfilled; and

ii.     officers report back to a formal meeting of the board on progress and     recommendations regarding the management of the Northcote Business Improvement District Partnership Programme.

d)      requests council officers from the Auckland Council Business Improvement District Team provide interim management of the Northcote Business Improvement District Partnership Programme, including honouring current contractual obligations the Northcote Town Centre Incorporated has entered into under the Northcote Business Improvement District Partnership Programme (such as security contracts) over the 2016/2017 financial year, or until Northcote Town Centre Incorporated are able to meet the requirements of the operative Business Improvement District Policy (2011) as outlined in resolution b) and following the meeting referenced in resolution c).

 

14.     Council staff began working with the NTC committee with the aim of restoring the committee to its proper governing role as defined in the association’s constitution, and bringing them into compliance with the BID Policy 2016 by the end of this financial year (30 June 2017).

15.     Council accepted the unaudited financial accounts provided for the 2014-2015 financial year as being compliant for that year, but a strategic plan and business plan were not provided as required to meet the BID Policy 2016.  It was noted that all future NTC financial accounts must be audited as a requirement of the BID Policy 2016.

16.     Council staff provided a status report to the Kaipātiki Local Board meeting on 14 September 2016 seeking approval to continue to withhold the Northcote BID targeted rate grant and provide direct interim BID management. The local board approved that request. (resolution KT/2016/130)  

MOVED by Chairperson K McIntyre, seconded by Member L Waugh:

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)      approves the continuation of withholding the 2016/17 Northcote Business Improvement District target rate grant payment as Northcote Town Centre Incorporated have not:

i.   provided audited accounts for the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 financial years; and

ii.  been able to show a clear division between the governance of the Business Improvement District Partnership Programme and its management as required by section 3.13 of the Business Improvement District Policy (2011).

b)      requests officers work with Northcote Town Centre Incorporated to review and amend the provided Northcote Business Improvement District Strategic Plan to account for the economic future for the area, to include:

i.    a clearly articulated vision for the future of Northcote;

ii.    a narrative as to how the collective targeted rate will be applied to assist business association members in achieving that vision;

iii.   a plan for the economic future for the Northcote business community; and

iv.  establishing the operational budget and activities, as per table one contained in the agenda report, for the remainder of the financial year.

c)      approves Auckland Council staff to provide active interim management of the Northcote Business Improvement District programme which includes payment of ongoing contractual commitments, implementing a strategy to promote the town centre, and work collaboratively with the Northcote Town Centre Incorporated Executive Committee.

d)      Requests staff to work closely with the businesses in Northcote to assist in developing the plan outlined in b) with a view to returning management of the Business Improvement District to the Northcote Town Centre Incorporated as soon as possible.

e)      requests staff to provide an update report to the February 2017 local board meeting.

 

 

17.     Since that time, council has directly managed the use of the 2016-2017 targeted rate collected ($120,000) on behalf of NTC. Outcomes of council management include: 

·          Council officers issued a request for proposal (RFP) to assist the NTC committee in retaining an interim BID manager to assist with the re-establishment of the Northcote BID Programme, to rebuild the NTC committee, and to engage and create interest from the Northcote business and property owners in a re-energised BID programme.

·          Campaignz Ltd (Gary Holmes) was selected as interim BID manager by the NTC committee and appointed in November 2016.

·          With council oversight, the interim BID manager provided all necessary support to the committee and membership, including: reconvening the committee, preparing a communication plan, holding a business networking meeting, drafting a strategic plan, completing the NTC website, investigating steps required to repair Northcote’s CCTV cameras, and other essential tasks including the preparing of documents for the AGM on 27 April 2017.

·          Council staff ensured that all of NTC’s financial obligations were met. 

·          Panuku Development Auckland coordinated the hosting of the 2017 Chinese and Korean New Year Festival on January 28, which was attended by the Mayor and local board members. This event was supported by a Kaipātiki Local Board grant. 

·          Council staff provided a memo dated 15 March 2017 to the local board with updates on progress and next steps (refer Attachment A).

·          The interim BID manager identified potential new members to serve on the NTC committee to be voted upon at the AGM on 27 April 2017.  

18.     NTC held their Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 27 April 2017 at which the following actions were taken:

·          approval of 2016 financial report and audit;

·          approval of the draft NTC strategic plan 2017-2020;

·          approval of the income and expenditure budget 2017-2018, noting there will be no increase in the Northcote BID grant for the 2017-2018 year (it will remain at $120,000);

·          approval of the Northcote business plan 2017-2018;

·          approval and signing of the BID programme agreement; and

·          election of new committee members.

19.     These actions, and delivery of documents to council staff, bring the Northcote BID into compliance with BID Policy for the 2015-2016 financial year.

20.     Council staff are satisfied that NTC, having complied with the BID Policy 2016, reconstituted its committee, and clarified distinctions between management and governance, should resume management and governance of the Northcote BID programme.

21.     Pending local board approval, several steps will be taken to formally transfer the management of the Northcote BID programme from council back to the committee:

·          staff will conduct a full reconciliation of the 2016-2017 Northcote BID grant and expenditures through the end of this financial year;

·          staff will return management of the Northcote BID programme to the new NTC committee on or about 20 June 2017;

·          staff will arrange for Northcote BID grant payments to be paid to NTC as of 1 July 2017, and each quarter of the financial year thereafter as provided for in the BID Policy;

·          NTC will hire a permanent BID manager to start 1 July 2017;

·          staff and Northcote interim BID manager will support the induction of the new committee, chair, treasurer and secretary; and

·          staff will conduct an orientation and handover process as needed for the new BID manager and new committee.

22.     Staff will monitor the activities of NTC to assure ongoing compliance with the BID Policy, and provide ongoing support to the NTC where necessary.

23.     Ultimate oversight of the BID rests with ratepayer and business members of the association. 

24.     This report requests that the Kaipātiki Local Board transfer management of the Northcote BID programme to NTC and to recommend to the governing body the striking of the Northcote BID target rate amount of $120,000 for 2017-2018.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

25.     At the 22 June 2016 Kaipātiki Local Board meeting the board resolved to withhold the Northcote BID targeted rate funds for the 2016-2017 financial year, and turn management of the Northcote BID over to council. (resolution KT/2016/72)

26.     At the 14 September 2016, meeting the local board approved a council staff request to continue to withhold the Northcote BID targeted rate grant and maintain direct interim BID management by council. (resolution KT/2016/130)

Māori impact statement

27.     These decisions will have no adverse effects on, or particular benefits to, the Maori population.

Implementation

28.     The funding of the $120,000 Northcote BID target rate is identified in the Kaipātiki Local Board 2017/2018 budget.

29.     Approving the reinstatement of the Northcote BID programme and targeted rate grant to NTC allows the association to resume direct management and provision of services to BID members, thus promoting and strengthening the Northcote town centre.

30.     A handover process from council staff will support and assist the NTC to implement a staff recruitment process to secure a permanent BID manager to start 1 July 2017.

31.     Following approval by the governing body to strike the Northcote BID target rate as per the annual plan process, council officers will inform NTC confirming the amount of BID target rate to be struck on 1 July 2017.

Allocation of Response Funds 2016/2017

 

File No.: CP2017/07713

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this report is to present proposals received from council staff looking to utilise the board’s unallocated 2016/2017 locally driven initiatives (LDI) operational budget. The Kaipātiki Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or decline these proposals.

Executive Summary

2.       The Kaipātiki Local Board has a total of $360,000 remaining in their 2016/2017 locally driven initiatives (LDI) operational budget. It is expected that $155,000 of this budget will be expended through the final community grants round. The majority of the remaining budget sits within the Community, Parks, and Planning and Development Response funds however there is a smaller amount unspent in other project lines.

3.       Local board members and council staff were provided the opportunity to identify projects that may be investigated to utilise the remaining 2016/2017 LDI operational budget. Projects needed to align with existing local board outcomes and be able to have funding committed by the end of the 2016/2017 financial year. Ten proposals have been received from council staff, totaling $326,000.

4.       Two of the proposals are similar to what the board has already budgeted and are recommended to be funded by repurposing this funding rather than utilising the unallocated LDI operational budget.

 

Recommendation

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)      considers the proposals listed in the table below and agrees to fund, part fund or decline each proposal using its operational budget.

7.       An update of unspent funds was provided to the board at their March and April 2017 business meetings. At its 17 March 2017 business meeting, the board was advised an amount of $189,000 was yet to be allocated to specific activities. The total amount of both allocated and unallocated budgets still to be spent at that point was $428,000.

8.       In order to allocate the remaining budget, Local Board Services staff advised of discussions with various council departments to understand what activities could be achieved within the remaining months of the current financial year. The offer was made to local board members to identify any projects that could be investigated by staff to be brought back as a proposal.

9.       It was anticipated that the proposals would be presented to the board at its April 2017 business meeting for consideration; however due to the timing of the contestable grant round, Local Board Services staff decided to present proposals at the same meeting as the grant applications.

Remaining budget

10.     The budget remaining to spend in the 2016/2017 financial year is provided in the table below and totals $360,000. It should be noted that a significant portion ($155,000) of the budget remaining to spend is within the board’s community grants project line. The local board is considering applications for this funding through another report on this agenda and it is expected that this funding will be expended.

13.     Two of the proposals are similar to what the board has already budgeted and would be able to be delivered through a repurposing of existing budget rather than utilising unallocated LDI operational budget. These proposals are for Highbury House and for the Kaipātiki Flag project.

14.     Highbury House – Highbury House has $20,000 allocated within the 2016/2017 top up asset-based services (ABS): Community Houses project line to support Highbury House operations for the upcoming 2017/2018 financial year. The 2016/2017 allocation could be repurposed to fund the attached proposal to cover operational deficit, professional development for the governance board and the establishment of a trial ‘Repair Café’. Support for the Highbury House operations in the 2017/2018 financial year can be funded from the 2017/2018 top up asset-based services (ABS) Community Houses project line.

15.     Kaipātiki Flag project – The Kaipātiki Community Facilities Trust was allocated $4,000 for the installation costs of Christmas flags for Christmas 2016. Flags were not able to be installed for Christmas 2016 and therefore this funding is available to be repurposed for the Kaipātiki Flag project.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

16.     Members of the Kaipātiki Local Board were asked in March 2017 to identify any projects to be investigated. A workshop with the local board was held on 26 April to provide the local board with the opportunity to review the proposals and seek any additional information required.

Māori impact statement

New Road Name Approval for a private accessway created by a way of residential subdivision by Housing New Zealand at 7-15 Haymand Place, 1 and 5a Mavis Place, Beach Haven

 

File No.: CP2017/07213

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Kaipātiki Local Board, for a new road name for a new private accessway created by way of a subdivision at 7-15 Haymand Place, 1 and 5a Mavis Place, Beach Haven.

Executive summary

2.       Auckland Council has road naming guidelines which set out the requirements and criteria of the council for naming a road or private accessway. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming for the Auckland Council.

3.       Following assessment against the road naming criteria, the proposed name ‘Kupenga Lane’ was determined to meet the road naming policy criteria.

4.       Local iwi groups were consulted with the road names proposed. No objections or alternative suggestions have been provided from the iwi.

5.       The proposed name ‘Kupenga Lane’ is recommended to the local board for approval.

 

 

Recommendation/s

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)         ,pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, considers for the approval, the road name ‘Kupenga Lane’ proposed by the applicant, for the new private accessway created by way of subdivision at 7-15 Haymand Place, 1 and 5a Mavis Place, Beach Haven.

 

 

Comments

6.       The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allow that where a new road or private accessway needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road names for the relevant local board’s approval.

7.       Housing New Zealand (the applicant) has proposed ‘Pipi Lane’ as a a preferred name and two alternative names (‘Kupenga Lane’ and ‘Tāruke Lane’) for a private accessway created by the subdivision.

8.       The site is located at 7-15 Haymand Place, 1 and 5a Mavis Place, Beach Haven. Council granted consent on 2 February 2016 to subdivide and construct 20 dwellings/lots and a private accessway. As the accessway serves more than 5 dwellings/lots, naming of the private accessway is required. This road naming application relates to the private accessway (see Figure 1 below).

9.       The applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for the accessway created as part of the development, which have been assessed against the criteria set out in the Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines.

Proposed road names

Meaning

Rationale

Pipi (preferred)

Māori name for bivalve mollusc shellfish known as paphies australis

Pipi lane exists within Auckland. Does not meet the criteria.

Kupenga (second preference)

Māori name for fishing net

This name meets council road naming guidelines and also is acceptable to Land Information NZ and NZ Post.

Tāruke (third preference)

Crayfish trap

This name meets council road naming guidelines and also is acceptable to Land Information NZ and NZ Post.

Figure 1: Location of the private accessway to be named

10.     The proposed use of ‘Lane’ accurately reflects the type of private accessway being named.

11.     As the applicant’s preferred name (Pipi) has already been used in Auckland, the second preferred name (Kupenga) is recommended for consideration for approval.

 

Consideration

Local board views and implications

12.     The decision sought from the Kaipātiki Local Board for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the community.

13.     The cost of processing the approval of the proposed road name and any installation of road name signage is recoverable in accordance with Auckland Council’s Administrative Charges Policy.

14.     The decision sought from the Kaipātiki Local Board for this report is not considered to have any legal or legislative implications.

Māori impact statement

15.     The decision sought from the Kaipātiki Local Board on this report is linked to the Auckland Plan outcome, ‘A Maori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world’. The use of Maori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Maori identity.

16.     Housing New Zealand has consulted the proposed names with the local iwi- Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua, Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara, Ngāti Whātua o Ōrākei, Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki, Te Kawerau a Maki, Te Akitai Waiohua, Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua, Ngāti Paoa, Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Whanaunga, Ngāti Tamaterā, Te Patukirikiri.

17.     An email was sent to all the local iwi on 22 March 2017. Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara and Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei confirmed that the site is outside their areas of primary interest by emails on 22 March 2017 and 24 March 2017 respectively. Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua confirmed that they have no objection to all names proposed by an email dated 22 March 2017.

Implementation

18.     The Resource Consent Project Management team is involved in ensuring that appropriate road name signage will be installed accordingly once an approval is obtained for the new road name.

Auckland Council's Quarterly Performance Report: Kaipātiki Local Board for Quarter Three, 1 January - 31 March 2017

 

File No.: CP2017/07703

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       To provide the Kaipātiki Local Board members with an integrated quarterly performance report for quarter three 2016/2017, against the local board agreement work programme.

Executive summary

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

3.       The Kaipātiki Local Board has an approved 2016/2017 work programme for the following operating departments:

·        Arts, Community and Events, approved on 13 July, 2016;

·        Parks, Sport and Recreation, approved on 8 June, 2016;

·        Libraries and Information, approved on 8 June, 2016;

·        Community Facility Renewals and Community Leases, approved on 10 August 2016; and

·        Infrastructure and Environmental Services and Local Economic Development, approved on 13 July 2016.

4.       All operating departments with agreed work programmes, have provided a quarterly update against their work programme delivery (refer Attachment B), with the majority of items reported as ‘green’ status (on track) and some with ‘amber’ status (some risk or issue being managed). The following items have been reported as a ‘red’ status (behind delivery, significant risk).

·        Community Facilities: Project Delivery - Glenfield Cemetery Pathways;

·        Community Facilities: Project Delivery - Glenfield Pool and Leisure Centre – Filtration Refurbishment to Splash Pool;

·        Community Facilities: Project Delivery Greenslade Reserve Fixture and Furniture Renewals;

·        Community Facilities: Project Delivery - Manuka Reserve Playspace Renewal;

·        Community Facilities: Project Delivery - Witheford Reserve Track Renewals; and

·        CCO: Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) - Impact assessment of infrastructure investments in Highbury.

5.       Overall, the financial performance of the board against quarter two, 2016/2017 is on track; however, there are some points for the board to be aware of:

·        Kaipātiki Local Board’s net operating expenditure of $7.8 million at the end of March 2017 is 3% over budget;

·        Operating revenue is below the year to date budget and forecast to remain below budget at year end;

·        Operating expenditure for asset based services is $219,000 below budget;

·        The locally driven initiatives (LDI) operational budget to date is tracking in line with budget; and

·        Capital expenditure is ahead of budget.

6.       The year-end outlook for key performance indicators (KPI’s) for the the Kaipātiki Local Board is 45 per cent of measures to not achieve target. Measures that are not on track to be achieved include:

·        percentage of visitors satisfied with the library environment;

·        percentage of Aucklanders that feel their local town centre is safe, during the day and at night; and

·        proportion of local programmes that deliver intended environmental actions and/or outcomes.

7.       Performance against KPI’s are explained further in detail in Attachment D

8.       The overall snapshot for the Kaipātiki Local Board indicates performance in the Kaipātiki Local Board area is tracking positively (refer Attachment A).

 

Recommendation/s

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)      note the Auckland Council's Quarterly Performance Report: Kaipātiki Local Board for Quarter Three, 1 January - 31 March 2017

 

 

Comments

9.       The Kaipātiki Local Board has a number of achievements to report from the quarter three period, including the following key achievement:

·        Summer reading programme - Kia Māia Te Whai, Dare to Explore summer reading programme gave many tamariki the opportunity to read, learn and participate in Te Reo Maori as booklets were available in English or Maori or both languages (bilingual). A total of 479 registrations were recorded across the three libraries in Kaipātiki.

Key project updates from the 2016/2017 Work Programme

10.     All operating departments with an approved 2016/2017 Work Programme have provided performance report updates for quarter three (refer Attachment B). The following are progress updates against key projects identified in the Kaipātiki Local Board Plan:

·        Community Events – The community partnered event funding has been fully expended. The Birkdale/Beach Haven March Madness series concluded the events this quarter.

·        136 Birkdale – Tender negotiations concluded and the first stage of development of 136 Birkdale Road commenced in April 2017.

Risks identified in the 2016/2017 Work Programme

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


 

Community Facilities: Project Delivery - Glenfield Cemetery Pathways

·        Insufficient budget for scope of works.

Community Facilities: Project Delivery - Glenfield Pool & Leisure Centre – Filtration Refurbishment to Splash Pool

·        Cancelled as no longer required, may become a larger project further down the track.

Community Facilities: Project Delivery Greenslade Reserve Fixture and Furniture Renewals

·        On hold pending further details about re-development of the site by council’s Healthy Waters team.

Community Facilities: Project Delivery - Manuka Reserve Playspace Renewal

·        Change of scope identified that requires extensive additional budget. Local board approval outstanding.

Community Facilities: Project Delivery - Witheford Reserve Track Renewals

·        Current walkway is adequate for another few years, therefore renewals funding has been reprioritised. Project on hold as not considered a priority.

CCO: Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) - Impact assessment of infrastructure investments in Highbury

·        Late opening of the cafe facility and the fact that Highbury corner works have yet to be undertaken means that there is little value in undertaking this piece of work in the current financial year. The local board has requested that the budget be carried forward to next financial year.

Financial performance

12.     Kaipātiki Local Board’s net operating expenditure of $7.8 million at the end of March 2017 is 3% over budget.

13.     Operating revenue is below the year to date budget and forecast to remain below budget at year end. Glenfield and Birkenhead Leisure Centres have had their revenue targets increased considerably (10% increase) this year and both centres are unable to meet the optimistic targets. Glenfield Leisure Centre continues to perform well with both fitness and aquatics activities remaining profitable.

14.     Operating expenditure for asset based services is $219,000 below budget. This variance is related to lower library staffing costs reported across the region to date and also the Northcote BID related payments due to council’s involvement with the management of the BID.

15.     The locally driven initiatives (LDI) operational budget to date is tracking in line with budget. There are still unallocated funds in the total budget, but there are a large number of grant applicants and initiatives to be considered that will utilise any remaining budget.

16.     Capital expenditure is ahead of budget. The Marlborough Park Youth Facility has been completed and opened. The capital budget for this project requires re-phasing as approximately 50% of the budget is allocated in the next financial year. Investment in renewals of parks assets continues to track ahead of budget with expenditure to date of $2.2 million which is well ahead of the full year budget.

17.     The full summary of financial performance information is provided in Attachment C.

Key performance indicators

18.     The local board agreements include level of service statements and associated performance measures to guide and monitor the delivery of local services. This report provides interim performance results and outlook information for Kaipātiki Local Board’s measures, showing how the board is tracking for the third quarter of FY17.

19.     The year-end outlook is for 45 per cent of measures to not achieve target.

20.     The local planning and development measure is on track, but there are performance gaps across the other three groups of activities.

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

·        Percentage of visitors satisfied with the library environment - In FY16, feedback indicated issues including lack of seating and parking, and the need for better signage and separate spaces for computer users. Furniture and fittings renewals at Birkenhead Library are underway.

·        Percentage of Aucklanders that feel their local town centre is safe, during the day and at night - This measure is influenced by a number of elements such as crime rates, the built environment, and socioeconomic and other similar factors. The redevelopment of Northcote town centre is expected to improve the perception of safety in the area over time.

·        Proportion of local programmes that deliver intended environmental actions and/or outcomes - The council may have to undertake remedial work to the Lauderdale Road Environment Centre, which would require the Kaipātiki Project to move out of the building. The timing and duration of work is not known at this stage, but may impact on the delivery of courses and volunteer programmes during the fourth quarter of FY17. The year-end outlook is based on one project which is at risk of delays.

22.     The full summary of performance information is provided in Attachment D.

Consideration

2.       The updates in this report relate to the following areas:

·          Finance;

·          Policy and Planning; and

·          Governance.

Executive summary

3.       Changes are required to upcoming meeting schedules. An extraordinary meeting to agree the annual agreement is required to be held prior to 20 June 2017. The community forum scheduled for 28 June 2017 is required to be cancelled to accommodate a special ‘Have Your Say’ community forum focused on the draft Kaipātiki Local Board Plan.

4.       The governance forward work calendar aims to support the local boards' governance role. The May 2017 governance forward work calendar for the Kaipātiki Local Board is provided as Attachment A.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)      agree to cancel the ordinary community forum meeitng scheduled for 6pm, 28 June 2017 to accommodate a special ‘Have Your Say’ community forum focused on the draft Kaipātiki Local Board Plan.

b)      agree to hold an extraordinary meeting at 11.00am on 7 June 2017 at the Kaipātiki Local Board office (90 Bentley Avenue, Glenfield) for the purpose of agreeing the local board agreement.

c)      note the Kaipātiki Local Board governance forward work calendar – May 2017.

 

Comments

5.       In April 2017, the Kaipātiki Local Board held three workshops. Records of these workshops are attached to a separate report on this agenda.

6.       The following regional and sub-regional briefings/meetings took place in April 2017:

·          Planning Committee Auckland Plan Refresh 5 Workshop – 3 April 2017;

·          Planning Committee Auckland Plan Refresh 6 Workshop – 5 April 2017;

·          Health and Safety Workshop – 5 April 2017;

·          Planning Committee Auckland Plan Refresh 7 Workshop – 6 April 2017;

·          National Disaster Resilience Strategy Workshop – 6 April 2017;

·          An overview of Communications and Engagement – 7 April 2017;

·          Chairs Forum – 10 April 2017;

·          Regional/Sub-Regional Workshop – 10 April 2017; and

·          Quarterly Independent Commissioners Forum – 26 April 2017.

7.       The board's May workshops are scheduled for 10 and 24 May 2017.

Finance

Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) financial update

8.       There is a separate report on this month’s agenda dealing with the unspent locally driven initiatives (LDI) budget.

Policy and Planning

Local Board Plan

9.       At its 17 April 2017 business meeting, the local board approved the draft Kaipātiki Local Board Plan 2017 for public consultation. The board also approved the following formal engagement events.

·     ‘Have Your Say’ drop in event at 4.00pm on Thursday 15 June 2017 at the Birkenhead Library; and

·     ‘Have Your Say’ community forum event at 1.00pm on Wednesday 28 June 2017 at the Kaipātiki Local Board office 90 Bentley Avenue, Glenfield.

10.     The ‘Have Your Say’ community forum event is scheduled on the same day as the local board’s ordinary Community Forum meeting. It is likely that the ‘Have Your Say’ will continue beyond 6pm, which is the scheduled start time of the ordinary Community Forum meeting. It is therefore recommended that the ordinary Community Forum meeting on 28 June is cancelled.

Annual Agreement 2017/2018

11.     The board is required to agree its annual agreement with the governing body prior to 20 June 2017. As there is no ordinary meeting scheduled within this timeframe, an extraordinary meeting is required. It is recommended that this extraordinary meeting be held at 11:00am on 7 June 2017 following on from a scheduled workshop.

Governance

Governance Forward Work Calendar

12.     The governance forward work calendar was introduced in 2016 as part of Auckland Council’s quality advice programme. The calendar aims to support local boards’ governance role by:

·          ensuring advice on meeting agendas is driven by local board priorities;

·          clarifying what advice is expected and when; and

·          clarifying the rationale for reports.

13.     The calendar also aims to provide guidance for staff supporting local boards and greater transparency for the public. The calendar is updated monthly, reported to local board business meetings, and distributed to council staff.

14.     The May 2017 governance forward work calendar for the Kaipātiki Local Board is provided as Attachment A.
