Comments
Prioritise rapid, high frequency public transport
AMETI Eastern Busway – Panmure to Pakuranga
5. This update provides the Local Board with a summary of key areas of progress.
Notice of Requirement
6. The project team are continuing to analyse submissions and engage with key stakeholders in preparation for the hearing in front of an independent panel. Hearings are expected to be in August or September 2017.
Further investigation work
7. Investigation and geotechnical work is taking place along parts of Pakuranga Road, between Panmure Bridge and Ti Rakau Drive (including some side streets). The majority of this work is taking place during May and is located within the roadside berm, however there will be small sections undertaken within the road carriageway itself. While this part of the work does not fall within the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki area, the AMETI Eastern Busway team feel it is appropriate to update the Local Board on all aspects of the project during this important stage leading up to the hearing.
Car Park development
8. A report has been submitted to seek approval of the proposed landscaping plans for the upper and lower carpark areas at Domain Reserve, Lagoon Drive, Panmure.
East West
9. Auckland Transport and the New Zealand Transport Agency opened the first stage of the East/West project on the 12 May. This was attended by the Minister for Transport Simon Bridges.
10. This opening celebrates the successful Neilson Street bridge project completed over the Christmas break.
Build network optimisation and resilience for travel times
Glen Innes Cycle Routes
11. In May 2017 Auckland Transport presented options to the board for cycle routes from Point England and Glen Innes to the Glen Innes train station. The project is being delivered under the urban cycle way budget approved from central government funded through New Zealand Transport Agency.
12. This proposal aims to provide safe alternative transport options to the train station and the new Glen Innes to Tāmaki Drive cycle path. The roads included for separation for cycling are Line Road, Taniwha Street, Aparana Ave and Point England Road.
13. The board provided feedback to Auckland Transport in a workshop in early May 2017 and Auckland Transport will respond to the board and then seek feedback from the community with public consultation.
Resolutions
Resolution number MT/2017/55
14. Request Auckland Transport investigate the concerns raised by Patricia Crosswell and report back to the board as soon as possible given the urgency of the situation
15. Auckland Transport’s road safety and network operations teams have both visited the intersection of Manukau Road in Royal Oak during May 2017. There is further investigation required and Auckland Transport will report to the board in June 2017 with a further update.
Transport capital fund update
16. Auckland Transport is providing the local board with approximately $2.1m for this term to deliver transport projects within the board area. This fund is available to be used at any time over the three year term. Although this fund is for the discretion of the board. Auckland Transport have criteria that projects are required to meet.
17. The Maungakiekie Tāmaki local board have not yet allocated any funds in this term, however there are three business areas earmarked for investment from Auckland Council. They are Onehunga – transform, Glen Innes – Transform and Panmure – Unlock, these projects are led by Pānuku Development Auckland. Each of these projects will see significant investment in to these town centres. The board may wish to delay decisions on transport capital fund projects, until there is better understanding of how a contribution from the board to the transport components of these projects could add value to the community.

Auckland Council's Quarterly Performance Report:
Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board
For Quarter Three, 1 January - 31 March 2017
File No.: CP2017/09168
Purpose
1. To provide the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board members with an integrated quarterly performance report for quarter three of 2016/2017 and allocate any unspent funds from this financial year budget.
Executive summary
2. This report provides an integrated view of performance for the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki 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 Maungakiekie-Tāmaki 2016/2017 Work Programme.
3. Of significance this quarter, various minor projects and upgrades that were scheduled to be carried out over the summer were completed. Consultation on Tāmaki path project and the drafting of the local board plan was carried out in this quarter. In addition, the local board agreed to reconstitute the Te Oro Committee which oversees Te Oro operations that is budgeted for through the work programme. With one quarter remaining in the financial year, the updates and reporting on quarter three activities now enable us to better identify projects that are at risk of not being completed by the end of the financial year.
4. The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board has an approved 2016/2017 work programme for the following operating departments:
· Arts, Community and Events, approved on 16 June 2016
· Parks, Sport and Recreation, approved on 16 June 2016
· Libraries and Information, approved on 16 June 2016
· Community Facility Renewals, approved 16 June and 21 July 2016
· Infrastructure and Environmental Services, approved 21 July
5. All operating departments with agreed work programmes, have provided a quarterly update against their work programme delivery (attachment B), with most items reported as ‘green’ status (on track) except for a few items which have an ‘amber’ (possible risk) or ‘red’ status (considered to be behind delivery/significant risk).
6. The Financial Quarterly Performance Report is attached as Appendix C. Overall, the financial performance of the board against quarter three of 2016/2017 is on track and there are no known issues.
7. The Key Performance Indicators for the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board show a trend of delivery that is meeting the indicators, with the exceptions in the Parks, Sports and Recreation and Community Services delivery areas (attachment D). These are explained further in detail in the report.
8. Overall, the financial performance of the board is near to budget. Revenue from community facilities hire revenue is higher due to increase utilisation following the introduction of on-line booking. Capital expenditure delivery for development projects are behind schedule as delays associated with unprecedented growth remain a challenge citywide. (Refer Attachment A).
That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board: a) receive the performance report for the financial quarter ending 31 March 2017 b) agree to transfer unallocated funds from the following budget lines to its Local Discretionary Fund.

Comments
Key highlights for quarter three
9. The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board has a number of key achievements to report from the quarter three period, which include:
· Significant progress made on these projects:
o Tāmaki path consultation was carried out and completed as planned, with approval of scope taking place in quarter four (3725)
o Drafting of the local board plan and preparation for consultation with the community (not listed in work programme)
o Mount Wellington War Memorial Seawall Renewal project tendering for detailed design for second section of this project has started (3333)
· Completion/closure of various projects including:
o Glen Innes Aquatic Centre HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) upgrade (4128)
o Ireland Road Carpark upgrade (3335)
o Replacement of basketball hoops at Lagoon Stadium (4138)
o Summer reading programme at the local libraries (808)
o Sports and recreation participation project Bikes in Schools (545)
o Onehunga Bay fitness area and skate ramp renewal (3334)
o Waikaraka Park wall renewal (3331)
o Jellicoe Park and Onehunga War Memorials Pools carpak and path renewals (3330)
10. The local board agreed to reconstitute a subcommittee dedicated to overseeing the work programme and running of Te Oro which is funded by the local board (2556)
Risks identified in the 2016/2017 Work Programme
11. This section discusses those projects that have been flagged by officers as subject to possible risk/s (‘amber’) or significant risk, including behind delivery (‘red’).
12. Art in Public Places Opportunities and activations (2593) Due to staff restructure in Arts team this project was not delivered. Delivery officers have confirmed that the updates included in quarterly reporting (Attachment B) capture option development for another local project which has an art component (Jubilee Bridge design) that the Arts team has been involved with. We are requesting deferral of these funds that so that officers can fulfill the organisation’s commitment to delivering this project.
13. Safety and Alcohol Harm Reduction Plan (2447) implementation is progressing slower than officers had hoped due to revision of the implementation plan. Progress made in quarter three included the execution of funding agreement with six community partners who will be assisting in the delivering of the implementation plan. The next step for this work is the establishment of a high level reference group.
14. Matariki Light Trail (2381) was marked as a potential risk because the funding agreement hadn’t been executed in quarter three as planned but this matter has now been resolved.
15. Funds set aside for sand carpet, lights and irrigation (3397) and other improvements (4148) at Point England Reserve is at risk of non-delivery due to central government plans for the future use of this reserve. To address this risk, the project delivery that had been scheduled for this financial year has now been cancelled.
16. Weather issues caused delays in the Sir Woolf Fisher Park stage one development (547)
17. Most projects that had been scheduled for Waikaraka Park remain on hold pending the development of plans and a decision for the proposed East West Link. They include Sportsfield upgrades and improvements concept and phasing plan (546), Sports park upgrade and improvements (4155)
18. Plans to install CCTV cameras in car park, renew roof and install spa heat pump at Glen Innes Pool (3722) is being planned but will likely not be completed within this financial year.
19. Community leases that are currently on hold include:
· Lease for Panmure Lagoon Sailing Club (1741), on hold pending clarity and resolution of land reclamation issues
· Lease for Ruapotaka Marae Society Inc (1730), on hold pending development of the Maybury/Ruapotaka concept plan. The concept plan is being developed by Panuku working in consultation with the Tāmaki Regeneration Company as per the decision of the previous local board. Panuku has advised this concept plan relies on the Open Space Network Plan and various other workstreams. As such we don’t yet have any confirmed timeframes for when this is expected to be completed.
· Leases to Tāmaki Model Aero Club at Elstree North Reserve (1732) and Point England Reserve (1733) are on hold for confidential reasons.
20. Te Papapa Onehunga Rugby and Sports Club $300k facility partnership grant (2578). There continues to be a delay in funds draw down by the Te Papapa Onehunga Sports Club. Officers understand this to be due to the club re-scoping and adjusting of budgets and are continuing to seek direction from this group.
Financial performance
21. Revenue has exceeded budget in community facility hire fees. Since the introduction of the on-line booking system, many facilities are trending favourably
22. Operating expenditure is at 99%. The slight under spend is in Locally Driven Initiative programmes which are lagging behind budget.
23. Capital spend progress for this quarter shows both renewals and development projects are behind schedule overall. Spend so far this year is 56% of budget. Key project such as the Tāmaki Estuary Coastal Walkway and Jubilee bridge upgrade have progressed from public consultation to design and consenting. Waikaraka sports park development is on hold due to the new east/west link and storm water dependencies.
24. There is a substantial amount of Locally Driven Initiative Capex funding still to be allocated by the local board.
25. The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Financial Performance report is in Appendix C.
26. At the end of quarter three, some budget lines remain underspent. Funds that are committed to an established project can be deferred however unallocated sums are unlikely to meet the deferral criteria. These budget lines have unspent budget that will become savings if not spent by the end of the financial year:
· Community Partnership fund, 43k unallocated
· Community Response fund, 31k unallocated
· Local civic functions, 11k unallocated
27. The local board has its final FY 16/17 grant round for the Local Board Discretionary Grants in June 2017. To date council has received over 50 grant applications for this round, we recommend any unallocated funds be allocated to the grant budget as there is no officer capacity to scope or deliver any new projects with only one month left in the financial year.
Key performance indicators
28. 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 Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board’s measures, showing how we are tracking for the third quarter of FY17.
29. The year-end outlook is for 25 per cent of measures to not achieve target.
30. The local environmental management, and local planning and development measures are on track, but there are a few measures across the remaining service delivery areas where performance needs to be lifted into order to achieve target.
31. Measures that are not on track to be achieved include:
· Percentage of residents satisfied with the provision (quality, location and distribution) of local parks and reserves. Projects underway to help improve this area include play space renewals at Jellicoe Park, One Tree Hill, Onehunga Bay, Talbot Reserve and Mt Wellington War Memorial Reserve, and Tāmaki Estuary coastal greenway and walkway development.
· 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.
· Percentage of Aucklanders that feel connected to their neighbourhood and local community. The empowered communities approach being implemented across these activities in FY17 aims to increase this.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
32. This report informs the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board of the performance to date for the period ending 31 March, 2017.
Māori impact statement
33. The local board remains committed to integrating and supporting work that contributes to outcomes for Māori including enhancing partnerships and collaborative ways of working with mana whenua and mataawaka.
34. Some of the activities in the approved work programmes (Appendix B) that have a specific focus on Māori include Support to Ruapotaka Marae Support (3741). The local board has been made aware of the aspirations of Ruapotaka Marae and will be advocating for the funds set aside in the current Long Term Plan (starting in 2018/2019) for Maori Transformation Capital Projects to prioritise funding of improvements at Ruapotaka Marae. This will be pursued as part of the discussions on the next Long Term Plan.
35. Within many other activities the local board is specifically encouraging an improved understanding of Māori aspirations or requesting the tailoring of some outcomes to Māori. These other activities include Youth Connections (2444), spatial planning for Tāmaki (2633), Riverside Community Centre operations (2900), Cultural Diversity celebrations (814), Regional Sports and Rec Grants Programme (2610), riparian restoration (2049), Housing quality improvement project (2449).
36. In this quarter, the local board chairperson and Ngāti Paoa discussed formalising their partnership through a relationship agreement. A draft agreement is being considered.
Implementation
37. The Senior Advisor Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board will continue to facilitate performance updates to the local board.
