Strategic Alignment

4. The following projects which are detailed in this report contribute in the following ways to the strategic outcomes sought by the Board and Auckland Transport (AT).

Project	Local Board Aspiration	AT Strategic Themes
Sandringham Road Extension Cycling Improvements	Advocate for separated cycle lanes with a priority on routes to local schools and recreational areas. Continue the expansion of the Puketapapa Greenways Network.	Build network optimisation and resilience Transform and elevate the customer experience
Dominion Road Bus Improvement Project and other bus lane projects	Greater public transport options to reduce car travel and change the way people travel. Continued partnership with AT and provision of improved services, road safety and public space upgrades. Connected frequent and affordable bus services across our area.	Build network optimization and resilience for predictable travel times. Transform and elevate the customer experience. Prioritise rapid, high frequency public transport.
Gilletta Road Traffic Calming	Continued partnership with AT and provision of improved services, road safety and public space upgrades.

Transport Capital Fund Update

5. The Puketapapa Local Board has approximately $879,413 of discretionary funding for transport related capital projects. The Board can also use the first year of transport funding from the next political term of $435,248 making a total of $1,314,661 available for projects.

6. The principal constraints being that the project:

· Will not compromise transport safety;

· Is transport-related;

· Does not compromise the efficiency of the road network.

7. For funding projects outside of the road corridor, they must meet the following criteria:

· Supports connectivity of cycle way and footpaths within the transport network;

· Footpaths should close a gap in the current walking network to residential, recreational, public transport or town or local economic areas;

· Footpaths widths should accommodate both walking and cycling when no alternative route for cycling has been identified.

The Board’s current Local Board projects are summarised in the table below.

Project	Description	Status	Projected Cost
Fearon Park Pathway	A shared path to be constructed through Fearon Park.	This is being managed by Auckland Council Parks. Construction is about 98% complete; the remainder is to be finished once the stormwater upgrade works in the park are completed.	$190,000
Ernie Pinches to Wesley Community Centre cycleway	A shared walking and cycling path along Sandringham Road extension.	Construction is underway. On track to be completed by the end of May. Update below.	$917,000
Richardson Road carpark realignment project	Redesign of the carpark at Richardson Road to promote better safety for cyclist and walkers accessing Keith Hay Park.	Auckland Council Parks is managing a design process for Noton Road and Richardson Road carpark redesign.	$30,000
Keith Hay Park Lighting – Southern Section	Continuing the lighting project from the northern section to the southern end of the park past Noton Road carpark to Richardson Road.	Awaiting results of the Richardson Road carpark redesign and for possible financial resourcing in the new term.	$170,000 - $180,000
Gilletta Road Safety Improvements	Adding traffic calming devices to curb speeding and burnouts in the street.	Detailed design in completed and awaiting construction authorisation.	$46,000 (Option C)

Projects under Delivery

Sandringham Road to Ernie Pinches Street Cycleway

8. This $1 million project is being delivered by AT and the Puketāpapa Local Board, to make walking and cycling safer and easier in Sandringham and Wesley.

9. The new 550-metre cycle lane is being constructed on the western side of Sandringham Road Extension, while the footpaths on the eastern side of the road between Sheppard Avenue and Stoddard Road are being upgraded and widened to accommodate a shared walking and cycling path.

10. The project began in March and includes the installation of speed tables at a number of intersections along Sandringham Road Extension to slow traffic and improve safety for cyclists and pedestrians.

11. Speed tables on Farrelly Avenue, Gifford Avenue, Skeates Avenue and William Blofield Avenue intersections are completed and the streets reopened in April. The speed tables at the O’Donnell Avenue intersection took longer to complete than expected due to some design changes required for stormwater. The street was re-opened at the beginning of May.

12. The driveway work at Wesley Intermediate School and the dental clinic took place over the school holidays to minimise disruption.

13. Works are still tracking ahead of the programme, with the remainder of works to be completed by late May. The work to be completed includes some minor driveway modifications, line marking and landscaping.

14. An opening event has been programmed for 30 May 2017.

Projects under Design

Gilletta Road Traffic Calming

15. At its March meeting and consideration of the public consultation results, the Puketapapa Local Board selected Option C as its preferred option. Detailed design has now been completed and AT is just awaiting prices from Vector for the street lighting.

16. A resolution is appended to this report for the project to proceed to construction with a budget of $46,000 as maximum.

Upcoming Projects and Activities

Dominion Road Bus Lane Improvement and Streetscape Project

17. This project is funded to consider changes that will improve bus movements and provide amenity improvements on Dominion Road between View Road in the north and Mt Albert Road in the south.

18. The first phase of this work is to adjust the canopies and kerbs to accommodate double decker buses and deliver continuous bus lanes with longer operating hours. It is expected that this phase of work will be completed by the end of 2017 when the New Network is due to go live in the central area.

19. AT will also establish two neighbourhood bus interchanges at Balmoral Road and at Mt Albert Road where passengers can change from north/south to east/west routes more easily.

20. AT has established a community liaison group (CLG) to look at streetscape amenity changes along the route and discuss issues. So far this group has looked at general issues as well as bus stop numbers and placements along Dominion Road. Another meeting is planned for May.

Update on other Bus lane projects

21. The May Road and Dominion Road bus lane (distinct from that mentioned above) projects have been approved by the Traffic Control Committee (TCC) of Auckland Transport. The Mt Eden Road bus lane project (south of Roskill Way) will go to the TCC during the next few weeks.

May Road

22. Auckland Transport has requested quotes from contractors for the May Road project and these are expected these back in early May. It is hoped to start construction at the end of May or early June on this bus lane.

Dominion Road

23. For the section of Dominion Road between SH20 Richardson Road, it is necessary to have the power poles moved before construction can start on the new bus lane. AT is in the process of organising this work and there are no confirmed dates for this to start yet. Current indications are early July.

24. For the section of Dominion Road between Mt Albert Rd and Denbigh Avenue, this is proceeding separately from the section further south. AT is able to go ahead independently from the power pole work and is expecting quotes back in early May and is hoping to start work in early June.

Mt Eden Road (south of Roskill Way)

25. The design plans are being finalised (subject to TCC approval) for Stage 1 of the Mt Eden Road bus lane project. It also includes some changes to some stops north of Batger Road and some modification of the bus lane operating hours.

26. As soon as the project is approved it will go out to open tender, and the work is likely to commence towards the end of June.

Issues Raised by Local Board Members

Location or Name of Issue	Description	AT Response
John Davis Road	Safety concerns and sight line issues raised for residents leaving their properties due to speeding vehicles, heavy traffic and on-street parking demand.	John Davis Road has a centreline marked through the s-bend and permanent warning sign on the approach. During a site visit, there were parked vehicles in the curve but it was possible for drivers to pass without crossing the centreline. The crash risk is low with no reported crashes in the last five years. A slow street assessment for speed humps has been undertaken however was ranked as ‘no action’. It is acknowledged that this is a popular route with just over 3,000 vehicles per day last year using it but, if vehicles are correctly indicating their intention to turn, then entry into the driveway should be expected by following drivers. While AT does understand the concerns raised, it is unable to justify any changes along this road at this time
Parking on the berm in Warren Avenue.	Concern from local resident as to the amount of cars parking on the berm in Warren Avenue.	AT’s Parking Design team has visited this site and spoken to the Monitoring Inspector, Central Monitoring, within the Compliance Unit/Resource Consents Department at Auckland Council. The matter was brought to the attention of the Project Manager at Generus Living Group Limited. His response is that Block B will be substantially complete by 9 May 2017 and that in the period leading up to this the number of sub-contractors will greatly decrease easing pressure on parking on Warren Avenue. After 9 May, there will be a small number of external works to complete and a small number of vehicles which they hope to be able to accommodate on-site. He said that they had been in contact with neighbours regarding the parking issue and they acknowledge the patience of all affected parties whilst the project is completed.
Repairs to Planter box, bin and seats in Roskill Village.	A vehicle has caused damage to streetscape furniture at 977 Dominion Road, Mt Roskill.	Repairs are pending.
Footpaths White Swan Road and Haycock Avenue	Complaint about the state of some footpaths on White Swan Road and Haycock Avenue. They were outside numbers 77, 81, 85, 87, 95, 80, 86,88,90,100,104,106 and 108 White Swan and 2,6,10,12,14,18,22,26 and 32 Haycock. The southern side of Haycock (evens) from the corner with White Swan needs attention. Could the footpath people please check it out?	This issue has been logged for investigation and feedback.
Ernie Pinches Overbridge Signage	Request for signage on Stoddard Road to indicate that a connection can be made across the motorway between Ernie Pinches Road and Sandringham Rd extension	This issue has been logged for investigation and feedback.
Richardson Road	Unevenness on one side of the road between White Swan Road and Maioro Road has been reported after a recent reseal.	This issue has been logged for investigation and feedback.
Stoddard Road	Request for no stopping at all times lines to be added in the vicinity of 64 Stoddard Road to improve safety for vehicles exiting the supermarket.	This issue has been logged for investigation and feedback.

Puketāpapa Local Board

18 May 2017

Children’s Panel Quarterly Report

File No.: CP2017/03566

Purpose

1. To note the report on the Puketāpapa children’s panel pilot programme 2016/2017.

Executive summary

2. The Puketāpapa Local Board identified that there were limited opportunities for young children to participate in civic engagements in the local board area, and sought to increase opportunities for young people to have a voice in their community.

3. Following consultation with schools during the local board term 2014 - 2016 the children’s panel programme was established and piloted in quarter three of 2015/2016 (school term one of 2016). The programme ran throughout the 2015/2016 financial year and into the 2016/2017 financial year. A total of six schools took part in the programme over that period.

4. Each term the school panels explored community themes in facilitated panel sessions. Council analysed panel feedback and identified partnership opportunities with community and local government stakeholders to turn the panels’ ideas into work programme deliverables.

5. The 2017/2018 Arts, Community and Events work programme identifies continuation of the People’s Panel as a deliverable, subject to local board approval.

Recommendation/s

That the Puketāpapa Local Board:

a) note the Puketāpapa Children’s Panel Pilot Report 2016/2017.

Comments

Background to the Puketāpapa children’s panel programme

6. The Puketāpapa Local Board recognised that there were limited opportunities for primary and intermediate school children to participate in civic engagement in their local board area.

7. The Puketāpapa Local Board Chairperson Julie Fairey met with a number of school principals in the Puketāpapa Local Board area during the 2014 - 16 local board term to explore what kinds of leadership models existed in schools, and whether their school pupils would be interested in a children’s panel programme. The response from schools was largely positive.

8. The panel programme is based on Kaipātiki Local Board’s children panel, which it formed to increase youth participation in the local board area.

9. Staff identified a pilot school for quarter three of 2016/2017 as well as additional schools to participate in the children’s panel programme in quarter four, and quarters one and two of 2016/2017. A total of six schools participated. Each school formed a panel of eight to 20 children to discuss a community theme.

Table 1: the children’s panel participating schools and themes

Term	Quarter	Participating schools	Children’s Panel Theme
1	3	· May Road School	My ideas for getting around Puketāpapa
2	4	· May Road School · Hay Park School · Wesley Intermediate · Waikowhai Primary	My ideas for a safer community
3	1 (2016/17)	· May Road School · Hay Park School · Wesley Intermediate · Waikowhai Primary · Wesley Primary	My ideas to improve sustainability
4	2 (2016/17)	· May Road School · Hay Park School · Wesley Intermediate · Halsey Drive School · Waikowhai Primary · Wesley Primary	My ideas for a more connected community

The makeup of the Puketāpapa Local Board children’s panel

10. Schools selected the pupils to form the panel. Schools used a range of student leadership models to select their panel participants including Student Enviro Council’s, class leaders, or undertook an expression of interest process. All schools have a cross section of students that include ethnic and gender diversity, student leaders and students. Māori represented at least 25% of each school panel.

11. An elected member attended each panel session to help familiarise young people with local decision makers and give them the opportunity to express their thoughts and ideas with an elected member who could potentially advocate for them in wider local board discussions, particularly around locally driven initiatives and budget for future local board work programmes.

12. The school principal, or a teacher, also attended the sessions, and a panel facilitator assisted the school children in answering questions on the theme.

Children’s panel themes, ideas and outcomes

13. The children’s panel explored four themes during the school year. They were:

1. My ideas for getting around Puketāpapa

2. My ideas for a safer community

3. My ideas for a more sustainable community

4. My ideas for a more connected community.

14. To assist the children in giving feedback on the issues, the panel members were asked the following questions using infographic questionnaires:

1. My ideas for {insert theme}

2. How do you currently {insert theme}

3. What are your ideas for {insert theme}

4. Choose your favourite idea and explain why

5. How would you make this happen and who could help?

15. Participants were asked to communicate their responses in a number of ways, including drawings, comments on post it notes, writing descriptive sentences and participating in a panel discussion. Staff analysed their responses for common themes, and opportunities. Staff contacted the relevant council departments and community partners to address the points raised by participants.

16. The table below details the main feedback themes and panel ideas, and how the local board and council responded.

· Roskill Together Trust delivered a ‘how to host an event and street party’ learning session in quarter one of 2016/2017

17. Based on feedback received through the children’s panel programme theme “My ideas for a safer community”, the Community Safety programme budget in the 2016/2017 Arts, Community and Events local board work programme was increased by 60%. The local board partnered with local community partners to address and/or operationalise any issues or ideas that were identified by its participants.

Funding the children’s panel

18. On Wednesday 10 June 2015 the Puketāpapa Local Board allocated $1,800 to the children's panel (resolution no. PKTPP/2015/114).

19. On Thursday 30 June 2016 the Puketāpapa Local Board allocated $13,050 from the 2016/2017 Arts, Community and Events work programme for the Children and Young Person, Children’s Panels LDI programme (resolution no. PKTPP/2016/143).

Delivering the children’s panel programme in 2016/2017

20. Roskill Together Trust were identified in quarter two as the community deliverer for the children’s panel programme and took over sole delivery the of the children’s panel programme in quarter three (term four) of the 2016/2017 financial year.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

21. The children’s panel has enabled the Puketāpapa Local Board to be more responsive to young people. Feedback from these panel sessions has helped to inform local board work programmes and budget allocation as part of annual financial planning.

Māori impact statement

22. See paragraph 10.

Implementation

Next steps

23. The children’s panel programme has been identified as a locally driven initiative in the 2017/18 Arts, Community and Events work programme, subject to approval by the local board.

24. In quarter four of 2017/2018, a quarterly reporting model to formally feedback themes and opportunities from the children’s panel programme will be identified and developed with the Community Cluster of the Puketāpapa Local Board. This will help to socialise young people’s ideas and responses to community topics of interest to the wider local board, Auckland Council departments and community stakeholders.

25. The community provider has identified opportunities to expand the children’s panel programme into local after school and school holiday programmes. This will be explored in the 2017/2018 financial year, subject to local board approval of the work programme.

Puketāpapa Local Board

18 May 2017

Tohu for Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek)

File No.: CP2017/08373

Purpose

1. To seek adoption of the final tohu (symbol) for Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek) and approve its use as a place making and way finding symbol to be included in future projects along the stream.

Executive summary

2. Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek) is a highly significant, but degraded stream within the Auckland isthmus. The catchment runs through the Puketāpapa, Whau and Albert-Eden local board areas. Increasing community awareness and engagement with the awa (stream) has been identified as an important element when considering its restoration.

3. The Puketāpapa Local Board initiated a project to design a recognisable tohu (or symbol) to represent the awa and help to foster local community connection with the catchment.

4. The recommended tohu design is shown on Attachment A to this report. It has been designed following extensive consultation with Mana Whenua, as well as input from elected members of all three local boards.

5. The tohu reflects Mana Whenua connection with the awa, functions well as a recognisable and repeatable symbol, and is able to be adapted to a range of media. All consulted stakeholders are supportive and have endorsed the final version of the tohu.

Recommendation/s

That the Puketāpapa Local Board:

a) adopt the recommended tohu design as indicated on Attachment A to this report as a symbol to be used to promote Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek)

b) endorse the use of the tohu as a design feature to be used in conjunction with the Auckland Council brand in future place-making and way-finding projects along Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek)

Comments

Background

6. Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek) is the longest urban stream in Auckland, running for over fifteen kilometers from its origin in Puketāpapa through the Whau and Albert-Eden local board areas before exiting into the Waitemata Harbour.

7. Much of the catchment is now degraded having been extensively modified, channeled and polluted. This negatively impacts the health of the harbour.

8. The Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek) Vision and Restoration Strategy for the Upper Catchment 2016 was published by the Puketāpapa Local Board identifies community recognition and engagement as key to the successful restoration of the awa.

9. To help raise community awareness and give the awa a sense of place, the Puketāpapa Local Board funded the development of a tohu to represent the whole of Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek).

10. This final design of the tohu is intended to be adaptable for use across a range of media including documents, signage, footpaths, furniture and art.

Development of the Tohu

11. An Expression of Interest (EOI) was distributed in 2016 to identify an appropriate artist for design of the tohu. This process was public and the EOI was distributed widely, including all Iwi across Tamaki Makaurau. Whaotapu Design was the successful artist collective and was engaged to develop the tohu design.

12. The tohu went through several iterations, from basic drawings through to a digitized design. Both coloured and black and white versions were developed for use on a variety of media.

13. Following consultation and input from Mana Whenua and the Puketāpapa and Albert-Eden local boards, a finalised version of the tohu was developed (see Appendix A).

14. The circular shape of the design represents the “swirling waters” of the awa, and the arms of mana whenua which symbolise love and protection. In addition, the two manaia supporting each other represent the interconnected nature of the creatures of the water (unaunahi) and the creatures of the land (pungawerewere). This is carried through in the colours (green and blue) and the internal details (fish scales and insect webs).

15. The final tohu design is representative of Te Auaunga Awa and has been endorsed by Mana Whenua. The design reflects the cultural identity of the awa, while also being simple enough for use across a range of media. This is important as the tohu may be used in both outdoor elements (signage, art installations, inlayed into pathways) and also in printed or digital media.

16. The tohu design is bespoke, and represents a recognisable symbol for the awa to help raise its community profile. Endorsement and integration of the tohu along Te Auaunga will raise public awareness of the stream and its significance within the wider catchment.

17. The Puketāpapa, Albert-Eden and Whau local boards were invited to workshops in August 2016, December 2016, and April 2017 to provide input into development of the tohu. Feedback following these workshops on the shape, content, and colouration of the tohu was incorporated in the final design.

18. A cluster local board meeting was held on 11 April 2017 with the three local boards that share governance of Te Auaunga. At this workshop it was suggested that all three local boards formally adopt the tohu and approve its use for any ongoing or future projects planned for delivery on Te Auaunga.

19. Adoption of the tohu would achieve action three of the short term objective for increased community empowerment detailed, within the Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek) Vision and Restoration Strategy for the Upper Catchment document.

20. Adoption of this tohu reflects a desired achievement identified in the Puketāpapa Local Board Plan 2014 which outlines the development of an “empowered partnership with Mana Whenua that supports their aspirations”. This links in to Auckland Council’s vision of the world’s most liveable city, including a Māori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world.

Māori impact statement

21. Mana Whenua were engaged in the development of this tohu. Representatives from Ngāti Whātua Orākei, Te Kawerau a Maki, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Te Akitai Waiohua, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, and Ngāti Whanaunga helped to weave cultural stories and elements into the final design.

22. All Mana Whenua were consulted on the final design at the Parks hui in April 2017. The final tohu as attached to this report was endorsed at this hui by all representatives present.

23. Possible future projects related to the tohu are the development of carvings or art installations along Te Auaunga. Should these projects be funded and initiated, Mana Whenua would be engaged further to provide input.

24. Te Auaunga is of cultural significance to Māori. Its waters weave together a cultural landscape of diverse cultural sites including mahinga kai, pā taua, papakāinga, wāhi nohoanga and wāhi tapu.

25. This design of the tohu represents the cultural significance of the awa and symbolises the importance of Mana Whenua as kaitiaiki (guardians) of the catchment.

Other consultation

26. Parks staff consulted with a representative of the Friends of Oakley Creek volunteer group on the tohu design. This group was supportive of the design. Wider public consultation was not considered necessary and therefore was not carried out for this project.

Puketāpapa Local Board

18 May 2017

Renaming of Rose Garden Park in Mount Roskill

File No.: CP2017/07964

Purpose

1. To seek adoption of the name Wahine Toa Park as a replacement name for Rose Garden Park in Mount Roskill.

Executive summary

2. Local boards have the delegated authority to name parks and reserves as part of their governance role.

3. In late 2016 the Puketapapa Local Board requested Parks Services investigate changing the name of Rose Garden Park in Mt Roskill to one which better reflects the history and character of the park.

4. Staff worked with Mana Whenua on establishing an appropriate name for the park that reflects both its cultural and historical character. Wahine Toa Park has been put forward by Mana Whenua as an appropriate name for the park.

5. The recommended name means ‘women of strength’, and epitomises the vital importance of women within whakapapa genealogies. It reflects tangata whenua values and effectively communicates the post colonisation history and theme of women’s suffrage already present at the site.

6. The Auckland branch of the National Council of Women has been consulted and has endorsed the name Wahine Toa Park. The recommended name is aligned with outcomes from the Auckland Plan 2012 and the Puketāpapa Local Board Plan 2014.

7. Staff have assessed the recommended name against the Park Features and Facilities Naming Interim Guidelines, and recommend that the local board approve the name Wahine Toa Park.

Recommendation

That the Puketāpapa Local Board:

a) approve the re-naming of Rose Garden Park at 537 Mount Albert Road, Mount Roskill to Wahine Toa Park.

Comments

Background

8. Rose Garden Park is a small park comprising of 1062 square metres of land situated at 537 Mount Albert Road, on the corner of Mount Albert Road and Warren Avenue (site map included in Attachment A).

9. The Puketāpapa Local Board approved funding for a park identification sign at Rose Garden Park in 2016 as there is currently no signage within the reserve. At the same time the local board asked Parks Services staff to investigate changing the name to one which better reflects the history and character of the park.

10. Local boards have delegated authority to name new parks and to rename parks under their governance as required. The Parks and Park Features and Facilities Naming Interim Guidelines (Interim Naming Guidelines) state the local board should only approve the name of a park following consultation with Mana Whenua.

11. In addition, any name change decision should be in accordance with the following criteria :

i. takes the name of person or family gifting the land to the public if that is a condition of the gifting

ii. uses name which reflects:

· tangata whenua values.

· a natural feature within the park.

· a historic name for the land.

· a historical feature or association with the park.

· a historically or culturally significant individual or event.

· the locality.

iii. avoids any name already in use or strongly associated with another existing location or feature, and therefore likely to cause confusion.

12. The Puketāpapa Women’s Suffrage Memorial, which commemorates local women who campaigned for women’s suffrage, is located in Rose Garden Park. The memorial includes an art installation of an abstract depiction of the camellia, a symbol of the suffrage movement in New Zealand in the nineteenth century. The base of the flower is inscribed with the names of the local women who signed the 1893 petition to Parliament requesting the vote for women. The Auckland branch of the National Council of Women was consulted to suggest a more appropriate name for the park to reflect this history.

13. The renaming of the Rose Garden Park was discussed with the Puketāpapa Local Board at a workshop in December 2016. At this time the local board gave permission to begin consultation with Mana Whenua and other stakeholders to identify a more appropriate name that would reflect the history and character of the park. Local board members indicated at this time a preference for a dual name if possible.

Consultation

14. Mana Whenua were consulted between January and March 2017 and invited to suggest names for the park. Suggestions were received and incorporated into a discussion.

15. Two Mana Whenua groups submitted naming proposals. The name Wahine Toa was proposed by Ngāti Whātua Orākei. This name means ‘women of strength’, and epitomises the vital importance of women within whakapapa genealogies.

16. The name Hine Titama, meaning ‘the dawn maid’ was proposed by Ngāti Tamaoho. Within Māori tradition Hine Titama was the progeny of Taane & Hineahuone. Being the Dawn Maid, Hine Titama greeted the morning light, a welcoming source of energy for all physical life.

17. In a parallel process, the Auckland branch of the National Council of Women (NCW) discussed ideas for a name at their executive meeting on 27 February 2017. This group also formally proposed the name Wahine Toa and passed this on to council staff.

Assessment

18. Using the interim naming guidelines, staff have assessed both of the proposed names alongside the current name of Rose Garden Park and concluded as follows:

· The site was not gifted to the public therefore there is no requirement for a specific name.

· The suggested name Wahine Toa Park has support from Mana Whenua as well as the National Council of Women, and is already featured on art work within the park.

· The suggested name Wahine Toa Park complements the history and character found within the park.

· The suggested name Wahine Toa Park is not currently in use for a park in the Auckland region, while the current name is one of three similarly named parks.

· Given the strength of the suggested name Wahine Toa Park, and the lack of any proposed English names reflective of the character of the reserve, a dual name is not recommended.

19. Staff therefore recommend that the Rose Garden Park at Mount Roskill be renamed Wahine Toa Park.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

20. The renaming of this park was workshopped with the local board in December 2016 and discussed again in April 2017 at the Green Cluster meeting, with Wahine Toa Park the recommended name. The local board are supportive of the proposed name.

21. The Puketāpapa Local Board Plan 2014 outlines a desire to form an “empowered partnership with mana whenua which supports their aspirations”. This reflects the desire of Auckland Council to enable the delivery the vision of the world’s most liveable city, including a Māori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world.

Māori impact statement

22. Auckland Council staff sought input between January and March 2017 from Mana Whenua who had indicated interest in the project including representatives from: Ngāti Whātua Orākei, Ngāti Tamaoho, Ngāti Whanaunga, Ngāi Tāi ki Tāmaki, Te Akitai Waiohua and Te Ara Rangatuu o Te Iwi o Ngāti Te Ata Waiohu.

23. The recommended name was put forward by Ngati Whatua Orakei, as it reflects tangata whenua values and is considered to be culturally and spiritually appropriate for the park.

Implementation

24. If the park is formally renamed, work will begin immediately on new signage which incorporates the updated name. The local board has already allocated LDI CAPEX for this purpose. The local board resolution for this allocation is PKTPP/2016/89.

25. If the park is formally renamed, public will be advised of the name change through online media in liaison with the Public Affairs Team at council. Those stakeholders that were directly engaged in the renaming process will be contacted to advise them of the decision.

Puketāpapa Local Board

18 May 2017

Approval of 2017/2018 Puketāpapa local environment and development work programme

File No.: CP2017/07804

Purpose

1. To approve the 2017/2018 local environment and development work programme (totalling $106,000) for the Puketāpapa Local Board, and to note the local development work programme of $475,000 of asset based services for Mount Roskill and Dominion Road streetscape improvements.

Executive summary

2. The Puketāpapa Local Board (the board) has identified an aspiration in its local board plan to achieve ‘vibrant, popular parks and treasured natural environment,’ in the local board area.

3. To give effect to this aspiration, the board has committed $106,000 in total to local environmental development projects in their locally driven initiatives budget for 2017/2018. This funding includes:

· $25,000 for Mount Roskill village revitalisation

· $3,000 for Bus subsidies for participation in education for sustainability

· $30,000 for Healthy rentals

· $10,000 for Low carbon plan implementation

· $8,000 for Manukau Harbour Forum – improvement projects,

· $30,000 for Te Auaunga stream restoration and pollution education projects

4. The board also has $475,000 of asset based services capex for Mount Roskill and Dominion Road streetscape improvements.

5. To deliver on this budget, a proposed work programme was discussed at a workshop with the board on 6 April 2017. An updated work programme is appended to this report as Attachment A. This report recommends that the board approve this local environment and development work programme and associated budgets for 2017/2018.

Recommendations

That the Puketāpapa Local Board:

a) approve the allocation of $106,000 for local environment and development projects to be delivered by the Infrastructure and Environmental Services directorate in 2017/2018 as detailed in this report and summarised in the table below;

Project	Budget
Mount Roskill village revitalisation	$25,000
Bus subsidies for participation in education for sustainability	$3,000
Healthy Rentals	$30,000
Low carbon plan implementation	$10,000
Manukau Harbour Forum	$8,000
Te Auaunga stream restoration and pollution education	$30,000
Total	$106,000

b) note the $475,000 of asset based budget for the Mount Roskill and Dominion Road streetscape improvements.

Comments

6. The board has allocated $106,000 of its 2017/2018 locally driven initiatives budget to support the delivery of a local environment and development work programme in line with its local board plan outcome of ‘vibrant, popular parks and treasured natural environment.’

7. Options for the allocation of this budget were discussed at a workshop on 6 April 2017. Based on that discussion, six projects will be delivered by the Infrastructure and Environmental Services directorate as part of the board’s 2017/2018 local environment and development work programme. A brief description of each of these projects is provided below.

Mount Roskill Village Revitalisation ($475,000 asset based services capex and $25,000 locally driven initiatives opex)

8. The board has allocated $475,000 of asset based services capex for Mount Roskill and Dominion Road streetscape improvements in the 2017/2018 local development work programme to support the delivery of the Mount Roskill and Dominion Road streetscape improvements works. The local board funded $457,901 towards this project in the 2016/2017 financial year and has indicated that a further $475,000 will be contributed to the project in 2017/2018.

9. The board has also allocated $25,000 of its 2017/2018 locally driven initiatives budget to support the delivery of the Mount Roskill and Dominion Road streetscape improvements capital works. The local board funded $48,779 towards this project in the 2016/2017 financial year and has indicated that a further $25,000 will be contributed to the project in 2017/2018.

10. The locally driven initiatives budget will be used to develop a list of village enhancements that will be delivered out of the allocated asset based services capex funding. Staff from the Development Programme Office will work with the board to identify and prioritise specific project enhancements.

Bus subsidies for participation in education for sustainability ($3,000)

11. Council delivers a number of environmental education programmes through its six experience centres. Experience centres teach schoolchildren practical actions that encourage them to bring sustainable practices into their homes and schools. They also improve their understanding of how to care for our environment.

12. A barrier to accessing the programmes at these experience centres is the cost of providing transport. Local funding of $3,000 will enable a larger number of Puketāpapa schoolchildren to participate in environmental education by covering the costs of bus travel.

13. Regional budgets will continue to fund the management and delivery of environmental education to Auckland schools.

Healthy Rentals ($30,000)

14. The board’s plan identifies the aspiration ‘Puketāpapa has sufficient, healthy, affordable and social housing to meet community needs,’ with a key initiative to ‘investigate healthy house initiatives to increase community knowledge and identify new opportunities.’

15. To deliver on these aspirations staff will work with landlords and their tenants to improve rental housing quality by offering property assessments, tenant education, and subsidies to encourage landlord investment in property improvements.

16. This will be the third year that the board provides funding towards this project, following the $28,000 that was funded in the 2016/2017 financial year.

17. In 2017/2018 this project will deliver:

· 45 assessments by an independent assessor using a housing warrant of fitness model.

· approximately 25-30 subsidised upgrades to properties that have received an assessment, to encourage improvements that make the rental healthier, warmer and drier.

Low carbon plan implementation ($10,000)

18. To achieve the key outcome from the board’s plan ‘a greener and healthier Puketāpapa through sustainability programmes and waste minimisation,’ the board is developing a low carbon plan in 2016/2017. The plan will provide a stocktake of all existing low carbon initiatives and strategic direction for decisions about future low carbon living projects.

19. The board has indicated a budget of $10,000 for the implementation of low carbon activities determined through the development of a low carbon plan. The process of developing a low carbon plan included a mini-climathon event. The results of the mini-climathon and recommended actions leading from it, will be presented to the board on 8 June 2017. Specific projects for implementation in the 2017/2018 financial year have yet to be discussed and determined by the board.

Manukau Harbour Forum ($8,000)

20. The board agreed to reform the Manukau Harbour Forum at its 16 March 2017 meeting (resolution number PKTPP/2017/33). Membership of the forum aligns with the board’s commitment to work to improve the health of the Manukau Harbour.

21. The 2016/2017 financial year was the final year of a three year work programme for the forum agreed by the previous forum and member boards. Funding for the 2017/2018 financial year will enable the development of a new three year work programme for the forum, better aligning it to local strategic objectives and the development of the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management.

22. A Manukau Harbour Forum symposium has been held in the past two years. Some funding will support the delivery of this event 2017/2018 which provides an opportunity for the forum and the community to share information, and learn about the pressures on the harbour and freshwater environments.

Te Auaunga stream restoration and pollution education projects ($30,000)

23. A key aspiration of the local board is ‘our harbour and waterways are restored to greater health and ecological sustainability.’

24. To deliver on these aspirations, the board has agreed a strategy and objectives to restore the upper reaches of Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek), which is Auckland's longest uninterrupted urban stream. The board approved a budget of $30,000 (local streams restoration) to implement this strategy and restore the upper reaches of Te Auaunga (resolution number PKTPP/2016/145).

25. This project will restore and improve local waterways by increasing both terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity through the creation of ecological corridors and riparian margins. Local communities will be empowered to connect and advocate for their local natural environment.

26. Site specific stream restoration projects for implementation in the 2017/2018 financial year have yet to be discussed and determined by the board. The scheme will focus on further support for volunteer work whilst including a package of stream enhancement works along a tributary of Oakley Creek in Keith Hay Park. These improvements aim to improve hydraulic performance, habitat diversity and amenity value of the stream within the busy public reserve.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

27. The projects noted above align with the local board plan outcome ‘vibrant, popular parks and treasured natural environment’.

28. The draft environment work programme was discussed with the board at a workshop on 6 April 2017 and the board indicated its support of the proposed projects.

Māori impact statement

29. This report provides information for environmental projects and it is recognised that environmental management, water quality and land management has integral links with the mauri of the environments and concepts of kaitiakitanga.

Project	Māori impact assessment
Mount Roskill Village Revitalisation	Mana whenua and public engagement will be conducted through the Auckland Transport Dominion Road project.
Bus subsidies for participation in education for sustainability	Bus subsidies help to minimise financial barriers to educational access to environmental experience centres for all students including Māori, who make up approximately 5.7% of the board’s population.
Healthy Rentals	This project does not specifically target the housing needs of Māori communities however according to 2013 census data 2,853 Māori (5.7% of the board’s population) live in the Puketāpapa Local Board area. National health data indicates that Māori are disproportionately hospitalised for respiratory illnesses, with twice as many hospitalised compared to the general population. Both international and national research studies report significant links between the effects of living in cold and damp housing and respiratory illnesses. The healthy rentals project will increase opportunities for promoting and improving living standards leading to better Māori health and wellbeing. This aligns with the outcomes of council’s Māori Responsiveness Framework Whiria Te Muka Tangata to significantly lift Māori social and economic wellbeing.
Low carbon plan implementation	It is expected that consultation with Māori is undertaken in the development of this plan. Consultation with Māori on this plan can identify issues, opportunity areas and priority actions for Māori in the Puketāpapa Local Board area.
Manukau Harbour Forum	In the previous term, the forum agreed to host up to three hui per year with mana whenua. The current forum will need to develop a new work programme. There is an opportunity to involve mana whenua in the development of that work programme. Mana whenua have consistently raised the issue of Manukau Harbour water quality through previous council consultations.
Te Auaunga stream restoration and pollution education projects	It is recognised that projects that involve stream restoration are important to Māori to improve the mauri of streams. A water body with a healthy mauri will sustain healthy ecosystems, support cultural uses and mahinga kai, and be a source of pride and identity to mana whenua. Projects in the Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek) upper catchment should be aligned with the strategy and vision developed by the Puketāpapa Local Board. This strategy and vision document has been created in partnership with the following actively involved mana whenua from the iwi/hapū of Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau: · Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki · Ngāti Tamaoho · Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua · Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei · Te Ākitai Waiohua · Te Kawerau ā Maki With this document, the local board acknowledges mana whenua as kaitiaki and for iwi to take an active role in projects that impact Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek) upper catchment. This project is co-delivered with mana whenua, and will significantly improve the wellbeing of a culturally significant site.

Table 1: Māori impact assessment

Implementation

30. As it has not been agreed what specific projects will be delivered for the low carbon plan, full stream restoration, and Mount Roskill village revitalisation budgets, staff recommend that a decision on specific projects is made early in the 2017/2018 financial year. This will allow staff to complete procurement of all related contracts and allow for delivery of agreed projects within the financial year. Staff will provide specific options to the board for decision-making in August 2017.

31. Subject to approval, this work programme will commence in the new financial year (1 July 2017). Regular reporting on project delivery will be through the Infrastructure and Environmental Services contribution to the board’s quarterly performance report.

Comments

Key highlights for quarter three

12. The Puketāpapa Local Board has a number of key achievements to report from the quarter three period, which include:

· The formal opening of the Waikowhai boardwalk on 27 January, which was preceded by a dawn blessing from mana whenua. The boardwalk now links Taumanu Reserve in Onehunga with Bamfield Reserve. The design work is underway for stage two of the boardwalk, which will extend the boardwalk to Taylors Bay.

· The board is working with Albert-Eden and Whau Local Boards to develop a tohu (marker) for Te Auaunga/Oakley Creek. This project delivers on one of the key aspirations of the strategic vision set by the board, which seeks to increase community connection to the awa.

· To increase participation in the Taste of Puketāpapa festival, the board translated information for Chinese business owners that experience barriers with written communications in English. This appears to be been effective as nine Chinese speaking restaurants expressing an interest, as compared to four last year.

Key project updates from the 2016/2017 Work Programme

13. All operating departments with an approved 2016/2017 Work Programme have provided updates for quarter three (attachment B). The following are key progress updates for this quarter:

· ID 2042 Local Civic Events – a number of the identified budgets, such as a hosting event for the World Masters Games, will not be required due to changes in project scope or timelines.

· ID 3485 Monte Cecilia playground – concept design is well underway

· ID 2842 Arthur Faulkner tennis courts – unforeseen drainage issues with this project are still under investigation

· ID 3786 Freeland Reserves Paths and landscaping – concerns that available funding may be insufficient

· ID 3754 Keith Hay Park Noton Road carpark – on track for project delivery but lodgment of resource consent application delayed

· ID 597 Greenways Plan review – the review is complete and has been workshopped with the board

· ID 607 – The first of the ‘fusion days’ in the Wesley Project took place at Wesley Primary School in April 2017, involved a mixture of sport and nutrition activities

· ID 2014 Low Carbon Plan – a ‘mini climathon’ is scheduled for May 2017

Risks identified in the 2016/2017 Work Programme (Attachment B)

14. There are eight work programme items that have been identified by operating departments as having ‘Amber’ status (moderate issues):

· Arts, Culture and Events:

o 2967 – Sustainable and Affordable housing. Staff continue to seek direction from the board about what professional services are required

· Community Facilities:

o 2842 - Arthur Faulkner Tennis Courts. The cost of renewal will be significantly higher than budgeted due to the drainage complication, a suggested course of action will be put to the board by staff once investigations are complete

o 3786 – Freeland Reserve Paths and landscaping. Current allocated budget is insufficient to achieve the desired pathway and stream bridge due to the required flood level. Alternative asset solutions are being investigated.

o 2953 – Arthur Faulkner Reserve Carpark and Path renewal. Awaiting stormwater investigations before any further action can be taken.

o 4207 – Pah Homestead HVAC installation. Investigations have shown that there is a tension between providing high quality air conditioning and the operation of the facility. In particular, to achieve tightly controlled air conditioning, the doors to the exhibition spaces need to be kept closed except for short periods to allow for visitor entry and exit. This has implications for the visitor experience, operational matters and heritage aspects.

o 3563 – Pools and Leisure renewals (Cameron Pool sauna). Sauna seating was replaced in August 2016.Investigation of full Sauna cabin replacement and ventilation/ waterproofing requirements is underway. The project is currently being rescoped to include the required floor strengthening.

o 1809 – Citizens Advice Bureau (Mt Roskill) lease. Awaiting multi board/ multi premise lease agreement.

· Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development:

o 2274 – Business Voice and networking support. The project delivery is behind schedule. The second newsletter and seminar were previously scheduled in March 2017 and now delayed until April. The third newsletter and seminar are scheduled in June. A low turnout will impact on the ability to deliver the outcomes sought for businesses. In order to encourage more business participation in the seminars, the next newsletter/seminar invites would be hand delivered to businesses and a social media will be used.

15. There are two work programme items that have been identified by operating departments as having ‘Red’ status (behind delivery, significant risk):

· Arts, Culture and Events:

o 2968 – Whare Restoration support. Staff continue to seek direction from the board about the group that will receive this funding.

· Community Facilities:

o 4208 – Pah Homestead upgrade LED lighting. There is insufficient budget to complete the work. This project will be considered in conjunction with works to install a high quality air-conditioning system.

Financial performance (Attachment C)

16. Operating expenditure for the nine months to March 2017 is largely on track with no significant variances.

· The operating expenditure proposed to carry forward into next year is the funding for the Village centre upgrade for Mt Roskill/Dominion road and a balance of the community arts programme.

· Revenue from community centres/halls is expected to be maintained at the same rate of trend to the year end. There will be no impact to the Locally Delivered Initiatives budget in the current year for the discounted fee charges but will be impacted next year.

17. Capital projects for nine months to March are below budget due mainly to delays in scoping/design and tendering on parks renewals programmes and the development work on Harold Long-Fearon Park linkage improvements where physical works are now underway following delays in tendering process.

Key performance indicators (Attachment D)

18. This report provides interim performance results and outlook information for Puketāpapa Local Board’s measures, showing how the board is tracking for the third quarter of FY17

19. The year-end outlook is for 44 per cent of performance measures for the Puketāpapa Local Board to not achieve target. The local environmental management measure is on track, while there are a number of measures within local parks, sport and recreation, and local community services where performance needs to be lifted into order to achieve target.

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

· Percentage of residents who visited a local park or reserve in the last 12 months. In FY17, promoting our parks and facilities is one strategy being used to help increase the proportion of the population who visit a local park.

· Percentage of visitors satisfied with the library environment. The main areas for improvement identified in FY16 include the need for more desk space, better outside lighting, designated quiet areas, installation of drinking taps and complaints about the fact that the toilets are across the car park and often out of order. Excessive noise is a common complaint for all libraries.

· 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.

Puketāpapa Local Board

18 May 2017

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

File No.: CP2016/25264

Purpose

1. To give the Puketāpapa Local Board an overview of Panuku Development Auckland. The report also notes any major issues, projects and activities within the local board area for the six months 1 October 2016 to 31 March 2017.

Background

1. 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.

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

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

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

Recommendation/s

That the Puketāpapa Local Board:

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

Local Activities

Portfolio Management

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

6. 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.

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

8. 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 Puketāpapa Local Board Area

9. Panuku Development Auckland currently manages 14 commercial and residential properties within the Puketāpapa Local Board area.

Commercial Properties	1. 2
Residential Properties	2. 12
Total Properties Managed	14

Business Interests

10. 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.

11. There are currently no managed business interests in the Puketāpapa Local Board area.

Portfolio Strategy

Optimisation

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

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

Portfolio Review and Rationalisation

Overview

14. 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

15. 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.

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

17. 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

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

Under review

19. There are currently no properties under review in the Puketāpapa Local Board area.

Acquisitions and Disposals

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

Acquisitions

21. 14 properties have been purchased this financial year for open space purposes around the region at a value of $23.3m, and 3 properties have been purchased for storm water purposes at a value of $16.2m.

22. No properties were purchased in the Puketāpapa Local Board area.

Disposals

23. 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 2016/17 disposals target of $20.0m for the year. The disposals target is agreed with council and is reviewed on an annual basis.

24. No properties were sold in the Puketāpapa Local Board area.

25. Three Kings Reserve – Land Exchange – Fletcher Living is planning a redevelopment of its quarry site and adjoining reserve land to create up to 1500 apartments and townhouses and additional reserve land. As part of the project, Fletcher intends to develop sections of the quarry site into a central park with sports fields in exchange for Auckland Council-managed reserve land bordering the site.

26. An appeal was lodged at the High Court by the South Epsom Planning Group and Three Kings United Group on the Council’s decision on the Unitary Plan IHP recommendation for the Three Kings quarry.

27. The Chair of the Puketāpapa Local Board has been closely involved in discussions between the appellants and Fletcher Living and a settlement agreement is under discussion between the parties in respect of that appeal. Any minor adjustments to a land exchange are likely to be able to be accommodated as the reserve outcome is not adversely affected by the proposals in the draft agreement.

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 will be its preferred joint venture partner to manage the HfOP portfolio. Panuku has been negotiating a joint venture agreement with Selwyn. The Joint Venture Company (JVCo) will deliver the service and improve the housing portfolio.

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. There are currently no HfOP villages located in the Puketāpapa Local Board area.

Regional Activities

35. 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.

36. 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

37. The highlights for the last six months were:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Future outlook

38. Over the next few months, Panuku will:

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

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

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

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

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

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