Local board views and implications
9. Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community grants. The Ōrākei Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or decline these grant applications against the local board priorities identified in the local board grant programme.
10. The board is requested to note that section 50 of the Community Grants Policy states “We will also provide feedback to unsuccessful grant applicants about why they have been declined, so they will know what they can do to increase their chances of success next time.”
Māori impact statement
11. The provision of community grants provides opportunities for all Aucklanders to undertake projects, programmes, activities that benefit a wider range of individuals and groups, including Maori. As a guide for decision-making, in the allocation of community grants, the new community grants policy supports the principle of delivering positive outcomes for Maori.
Implementation
12. The allocation of grants to community groups is within the adopted Long Term Plan 2015-2025 and local board agreements.
13. Following the Ōrākei Local Board allocating funding for round one local grant, Commercial and Finance staff will notify the applicants of the local board decision.

Comments
Background
6. The 2017/2018 local economic development programme has been developed having regard to the Local Board’s priorities for local economic development (LED) set out in the draft Ōrākei Local Board Plan (2017).
7. The proposed LED programme comprises the following activities.
Impact of events research ($25,000)
8. The local board area has a number of events that take place within it, such as Around The Bays, Auckland Marathon, and the Rangitoto Swim. This research would seek to better understand the impacts of events on a number of town centres within the local board area. In addition to this the research will also look to identify the potential initiatives that could help mitigate any negative impacts where they occur.
9. The allocation of $25,000 will enable ATEED to procure the research on behalf of the local board. The full scope of the research will be presented back to the Local Board prior to any commissioning process commencing.
Young Enterprise Scheme ($2,000)
10. Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED), on behalf of the Young Enterprise Trust, delivers the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) in Auckland. YES is a practical, year-long programme for year 12 and 13 students. Through the programme, students develop creative ideas into actual businesses, complete with real products and services and experience real profit and loss.
11. Fostering youth entrepreneurship is a key requirement for developing an innovative economy and creating employment pathways for our young people. Through the programme, students develop creative ideas into actual businesses, complete with real products and services and real profit and loss. Students learn key work skills and business knowledge including: business fundamentals, planning, interpersonal relations, financial, decision making, reporting, risk management and team work. YES helps create a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship amongst Auckland’s young people.
12. The funding from the local board will support the delivery of the YES Enterprise-Days (e-days) in February 2018. The e-days are held in sub-regions (North, South, East, Central/West) and are the first day students get to meet the Young Enterprise team, and find out about their 2018 year, what YES is about, and what is in store for them. All schools in the local board area that have shown an interest in YES are invited. In addition the invite is extended to those schools who have not shown an interest to enable them to make a decision as to whether to participate.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
13. The proposed LED programme was presented to the Local Board at the 6 April 2017 workshop, and has been amended to reflect the comments received.
Māori impact statement
14. There are no direct impacts as a result of this report on Māori. However, in implementing the programme consideration will be given to the need to consult with Iwi and consider any impacts on Māori arising from the specific project being undertaken.
Implementation
15. Following approval by the local board the Local Economic Development team at ATEED will begin to implement the programme as approved by the local board. Where there is a need further scoping of activities will be undertaken and presented back to the local Board as required.

Approval of the 2017/2018 Ōrākei local environment work programme
File No.: CP2017/10834
Purpose
1. To approve the proposed 2017/2018 local environment work programme for the Ōrākei Local Board with a total value of $212,000.
Executive summary
2. The Ōrākei Local Board has identified an aspiration in their Local Board Plan 2014-2017 to achieve ‘pollution-free, beautiful and ecologically healthy natural areas and waterways that people value, want to get up close to and help protect’ in their board area.
3. To give effect to this aspiration the local board has committed $212,000 in total to local environmental projects in their locally driven initiatives budget for 2017/2018. This funding includes:
· $30,000 for the Hobson Bay catchment care project
· $18,000 for Madills Farm stream restoration
· $10,000 for restoration of a significant ecological area in Remuera
· $20,000 for streamside assistance
· $129,000 for ecological restoration projects on local parks and reserves
· $5,000 for Tāmaki Estuary Environmental Forum
4. To deliver on these budgets a proposed environmental work programme was prepared and discussed at workshops with the board on 27 April 2017 and 25 May 2017. An updated work programme has been included as Attachment A. This report recommends that the board approve this local environmental work programme and associated budgets for 2017/2018.
That the Ōrākei Local Board: a) approve the allocation of $212,000 for environmental projects as summarised in the table below:
|
Comments
5. The board has allocated $212,000 of its 2017/2018 budget to support the delivery of a local environment work programme in line with the local board plan outcome of ‘pollution-free, beautiful and ecologically healthy natural areas and waterways that people value, want to get up close to and help protect.’
6. Options for the allocation of this budget were discussed at workshops held on 27 April 2017 and 25 May 2017. Based on those discussions, it is recommended that six projects will be delivered by the Infrastructure and Environmental Services directorate as part of the board’s 2017/2018 local environment work programme.
7. Following work programme discussions with the board, an additional project to the initial draft, is proposed for the Tāmaki Estuary Environment Forum. There has been no discussion with the board on funding as the funding request was received from the Tāmaki Estuary Environment Forum after the 27 April 2017 workshop. A memo and request for feedback was sent to board members in May 2017 and is attached to his report as attachment B.
8. A brief description of each of the proposed 2017/2018 local environmental projects has been provided below.
Hobson Bay catchment care project ($30,000)
9. The Hobson Bay Action Plan recognises the importance of Hobson Bay for recreational and environmental purposes. This action plan states that the ‘aquatic and marine values (of the bay) have not been well maintained and the water quality is not at an adequate standard for recreational use.’ The plan also notes that the board will ‘advocate and work in a coordinated manner with other projects and initiatives to manage upstream impacts in the wider stormwater catchment at the source to reduce adverse effects on the Hobson Bay environment’. Funding of $30,000 for implementation of a restoration plan for the Remuera Stream, which runs into Hobson Bay, will enable delivery of these objectives.
10. The Remuera stream runs through three reserves of significant ecological value, namely Waiata Reserve, Lingarth Reserve, and Martyn Wilson Field. The 2017/2018 work programme recommends the continuation of work that has been undertaken over the past two years, which includes the maintenance of previous plantings, site preparation and weed control, and a community planting day. This work will deliver year three of the Waiata Reserve Planting Plan.
11. The local board plan also supports projects that allow Ōrākei communities to work alongside council on ecological restoration. This project also supports adjacent landowners and the community already engaged in restoration activity along the stream such as the supply of
Madills Farm Stream Restoration ($18,000)
12. Funding of $18,000 is requested to continue implementation of the 2015 Madills Farm Stream Restoration Plan. Stream restoration was identified as key action in the Madills Reserve Masterplan.
13. Weed control and planting has been a key focus of this project since its commencement in 2015. It is proposed to continue this work in 2017/2018, with restoration planting in the riparian and wetland areas of the stream continuing to restore biodiversity, and the ecological function of the stream, including improved flood control and water quality.
Restoration of Significant Ecological Area (SEA) in Remuera ($10,000)
14. Restoration of significant ecological areas (SEAs) helps Auckland Council to fulfil its regulatory and non-regulatory requirements in the Auckland Plan, the Resource Management Act (1991) and Auckland Council’s own Indigenous Biodiversity Strategy.
15. A community group in Remuera, which includes over 50 landowners, has identified a SEA site in between Victoria Ave and Portland Road, as an opportunity to undertake a community restoration project.
16. This project will include eradication of three invasive weeds (moth plant, ginger, and tradescantia), pest animal control, and re-planting with native species and will build on the previous years’ activities.
Streamside Assistance - Remuera Stream ($20,000)
17. Funding of $20,000 is proposed to continue the streamside assistance programme supporting residents adjoining Newmarket Stream to the upper reaches of the Remuera Stream (in Newmarket Park). This budget will allow residents to undertake weed control and restoration planting to enhance the biodiversity of the streams, and improve water quality (Attachment B) describes the proposed programme area.
18. Neighbouring private landowners from the Ōrākei and Waitematā local board areas have expressed their desire to support restoration of the Newmarket Stream bank and gave a joint presentation in May 2017 to both boards calling for a collaborative action between local residents and the local boards. On 18 May 2017, the Ōrākei Local Board resolved to agree in principle to allocate $20,000 towards this project in conjunction with the Waitematā Local Board (OR/2017/75).
19. The streamside assistance programme will:
· support freshwater ecology and monitoring
· provide facilitation support to build community vision and capacity
· support working bees and workshop demonstrations
· provide materials and weeding techniques
· support planting days.
20. The programme benefits include:
· improved water quality
· improved pest plant control in parks
· increased biodiversity (in stream and terrestrial areas)
· alignment with Auckland Council’s Pest Free Auckland strategy
· builds a connected community
· promotes collaboration and cooperation.
21. This programme is also proposed to the Waitematā Local Board ($20,000) local environment work programme for 2017/2018.
Ecological restoration projects ($129,000)
22. The board identified funding to support further ecological restoration and weed management projects for local parks and reserves in the local board area.
23. The benefits of the projects include:
· reduction of the current invasive plant species present in the reserves limiting further spread both within the reserves and to other areas
· increase in native biodiversity and improved ecosystem
· improved social value of the reserve as a space for public recreation and enjoyment.
24. The completion of each project within the 2017/2018 financial year will reduce the amount of time required for future control of invasive plants within the reserves. A list of reserves, objectives and suggested budget allocations for the project is included in Table One below.

Tāmaki Estuary Environmental Forum (TEEF) ($5,000)
25. The Tāmaki Estuary Environmental Forum was established in the 1980s as a joint community and political body to advocate for the environmental protection of the Tāmaki Estuary. The member boards include Ōrākei, Howick, Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, Manurewa and Ōtara-Papatoetoe.
26. A vision and strategy for the forum was agreed in April 2016. However, no work programme has been designed to support implementation of that vision. Taking its lead from the Manukau Harbour Forum, it was suggested at the April 2017 meeting of the Tāmaki Estuary Environmental Forum that each member board contribute up to $5,000 to design and implement a work programme.
27. A funding contribution of $5,000 from member boards in 2017/2018 will enable the design of a strategic work programme supporting initiatives that enhance community awareness of the Tāmaki Estuary, and improvements to water quality. This work programme will also acknowledge existing initiatives funded by member boards that indirectly contribute to the Tāmaki Estuary, such as the Ōtara Waterways project and restoration work at Tahuna Torea.
28. This funding is subject to each of the member boards also agreeing to allocate funding for development of a forum work programme.
29. Funding of the Tāmaki Estuary Environmental Forum will not impact on the board’s overall locally driven initiatives budget, as it can be accommodated through small reductions in the proposed Hobson Bay catchment care and the Madills Farm stream budgets.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
30. The 2017/2018 local environmental work programme projects align with the Ōrākei Local Board Plan outcome of ‘pollution-free, beautiful and ecologically healthy natural areas and waterways that people value, want to get up close to and help protect’.
31. This draft environmental work programme was discussed with board members at workshops in April and May 2017. Feedback from these meetings has been incorporated into the recommendations in this report.
32. There has been no discussion with the board on funding for the Tāmaki Estuary Environment Forum as the funding request was received after the April workshop. A memo and request for feedback was sent to board members in May 2017.
Māori impact statement
32. It is recognised that environmental management, water quality and land management has integral links with the mauri of the environments and concepts of kaitiakitanga.
33. Table Two below outlines how these projects contribute to Māori outcomes.
Table Two - Māori Outcomes Assessment
Project |
Māori outcomes assessment |
Hobson Bay Catchment Care Project |
No specific consultation with Māori on the Hobson Bay catchment care project has been undertaken. However, iwi have been invited to participate in the planting day. Māori have indicated strong support for projects to improve water quality in previous council consultations. |
Madills Farm Stream Restoration |
No specific consultation with Māori on the Madills Farm Stream Restoration has been undertaken. However, iwi have been invited to participate in the planting day. |
Restoration of Significant Ecological Area (SEA) in Remuera |
No consultation with Māori will be carried out as the project is focused on private land. Iwi may potentially be asked to support the implementation of this project. |
Streamside Assistance |
Although it is recognised that environment management, water quality and land management has integral links with mauri of the environment, no consultation with Māori is required for this project. |
Ecological restoration projects |
Iwi will be asked to support the implementation of this project. |
Tāmaki Estuary Environmental Forum (TEEF) |
No consultation with mana whenua on this report. However, forum membership includes representation from mana whenua. |
Implementation
34. 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.

File No.: CP2017/07538
Purpose
1. To present the draft 2017/2018 Parks, Sport and Recreation (PSR) Annual work programme (AWP) for the consideration and approval of the Ōrākei Local Board.
Executive summary
2. This report presents the draft PSR AWP for the 2017/2018 financial year.
3. The draft work programme includes capital expenditure projects and Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) works but excludes any works associated with external agency projects.
4. Should unforeseen works arise or work priorities change from those attached and approved, the Parks Sport and Recreation Portfolio managers will report this through the quarterly reports for formal approval by the Board.
That the Ōrākei Local Board: a) approve the 2017/2018 Parks, Sport and Recreation annual work programme (Attachment A). |
Comments
5. This report presents the draft PSR AWP for the 2017/2018 financial year. The draft PSR AWP is sorted by Active Recreation and Parks Services.
6. Staff discussed the scope of the draft 2017/2018 PSR AWP at a workshop with the Board on 6 April 2017.
7. The draft 2017/2018 PSR AWP has been developed with a strategic focus, in that many projects will be delivered over two or more financial years.
8. The draft 2017/2018 PSR AWP, presented as Attachment A, needs to include some flexibility to account for any unforeseen factors beyond PSR’s control that may arise.
9. Staff may need to adjust priorities as unforeseen complexities in delivering planned projects arise. Any material changes to the 2017/2018 PSR AWP will be reported to the Board for a formal decision.
Budget types contributing to the Parks Sport and Recreation work programme
10. Activities may be funded from one or multiple budget sources which include: Asset Based Services (ABS) capital expenditure or operational expenditure; Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) capital expenditure or operational expenditure; growth funding; targeted rates; external funding or sponsorship.
11. The LDI programme is part of this draft AWP. PSR activity resulting from external agency partnerships is not included unless they have an element of local board funding attached to them.
12. Some Active Recreation or Park Services activity programmes do not show a budget amount but have been included in the work programme for the Board’s information and future quarterly reporting.
13. Capital development programmes and asset based activities including renewals will be reported separately and led by Community Facilities.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
14. The Ōrākei Local Board provided feedback on the draft 2017/2018 PSR AWP at a workshop on 6 April 2017. Feedback from this workshop has informed the draft programme (Attachment A).
Māori impact statement
15. Parks and open spaces, as well as leisure, sport and recreation activities contribute significantly to Maori well-being, values, culture and traditions. Where any aspects of the proposed work programme are anticipated to have a significant impact on sites of importance to Tangata Whenua, appropriate engagement and consultation will follow.
16. Section 81 of the Local Government Act 2002 set out Contributions to decision-making processes by Māori:
“(1) A local authority must—
(a) establish and maintain processes to provide opportunities for Māori to contribute to the decision-making processes of the local authority; and
(b) consider ways in which it may foster the development of Māori capacity to contribute to the decision-making processes of the local authority”.
17. The Auckland Council Māori Language Policy, 2016, provides a practical means for Council to fulfil its commitments and legal obligations to Māori. It notes that Auckland Council aims to:
‘Ensure that everyone who receives or uses Auckland Council’s services or contributes to the democratic process has the choice to do so in Māori or English’.
Implementation
18. Once approved the delivery of activities identified in the 2017/2018 PSR AWP will take place from 1 July 2017.
19. Capital and asset based activities will be delivered and reported on by Community Facilities as they move into investigation and design and/or project delivery phase.
20. The progress of the 2017/2018 PSR AWP projects will be reported to the Board quarterly.

File No.: CP2017/09644

Executive summary
2. This report provides information to support Ōrākei Local Board to make decisions required to approve the Libraries 2017/2018 work programme.
3. The proposed Libraries work programme aims to provide a defined work programme for the 2017/2018 financial year.
4. The Libraries work programme for Ōrākei Local Board aligns with the following 2014-2017 Ōrākei Local Board Plan priorities:
· well-built community centres, enhanced libraries and well-designed neighbourhoods shaped by the community.
5. The Ōrākei Local Board is being requested to approve the Libraries work programme for the 2017/2018 financial year.
That the Ōrākei Local Board: a) approve the 2017/2018 Libraries work programme (Attachment A). |
Comments
6. The libraries work programme for 2017/2018 aligns to the Ōrākei Local Board plan 2014 – 2017 and Te Kauroa – Auckland Libraries Future Directions 2013-2023.
7. The Libraries work programme aligns to the following 2014-2017 Ōrākei Local Board Plan priorities:
· well-built community centres, enhanced libraries and well-designed neighbourhoods shaped by the community.
8. The work programme includes library activities that align with the local board priorities and meet the needs of the Ōrākei community. The cost of running the local libraries largely appears in one activity line – “Library hours of service”. Activities that respond to local community priorities have been included in the work programme but they do not have specific Asset Based Services operating expenditure budget attached as the cost is included in running the local libraries. The programme also includes an Locally Driven initiatives operating expenditure funded activity: the Win With Words competition.
9. A workshop was held with the local board and Libraries staff on Thursday, 6 April 2017 where the draft work programme was considered.
10. The Ōrākei Local Board is requested to approve the Libraries work programme for 2017/2018. Libraries’ staff will continue to work with the local board to ensure activities align with the local board priorities and meet the needs of the Ōrākei community.
Consideration

Adoption of Local Board Agreement 2017/2018
File No.: CP2017/09414
Purpose
1. This report seeks adoption of local content for the Annual Budget 2017/2018, including a Local Board Agreement 2017/2018, a message from the chair, local board advocacy, local activity budgets and local performance targets, together with adoption of a local fees and charges schedule for 2017/2018.
Executive summary
2. For each financial year, Auckland Council must have a local board agreement between the governing body and the local board, for each local board area.
3. Every three years a local board plan is developed to inform the long-term plan (and associated local board agreements) which outlines priorities, budgets and intended levels of service over a 10 year period.
4. In February and March this year, the council consulted on proposed changes for the Annual Budget 2017/2018. Local boards then held discussions with the Finance and Performance Committee on regional policy issues, community feedback and key initiatives that local boards are advocating for.
5. Local boards are now considering local content for the Annual Budget 2017/2018 which includes a local board agreement, a message from the chair, local board advocacy, local activity budgets and local performance targets, together with a local fees and charges schedule for 2017/2018.
6. Local board agreements will include the allocation of locally driven initiative (LDI) funding to projects and services.
7. On 29 June 2017, the governing body will meet to adopt Auckland Council’s Annual Budget 2017/2018 including 21 local board agreements and associated performance targets and budgets.
That the Ōrākei Local Board: a) adopt local content for the Annual Budget 2017/2018 (Attachment A), including: i. a Local Board Agreement 2017/2018 ii. a message from the Chair iii. local board advocacy iv. local activity budgets v. local performance targets b) adopt local fees and charges schedules for 2017/2018 (Attachment B) c) note: i. that the local activity budgets have been updated to reflect final budget decisions made by the governing body on 1 June 2017; ii. that if there are outstanding (not yet agreed) matters in the local board agreement, the local board should include an explanation of these matters in the Chair’s message at the front of the local board agreement; iii. that the resolutions of this meeting will be reported back to the governing body when it meets to adopt the Annual Budget 2017/2018 on 29 June 2017. d) agree that the Chair be delegated authority to make any final minor changes to the local content for the Local Board Agreement 2017/2018.

11. Local boards are now considering local content for the Annual Budget 2017/2018 (Attachment A).
12. Local boards are also considering the adoption of a local fees and charges schedule for 2017/2018 (Attachment B).
Consideration
Local board views and implications
13. This report seeks adoption from the local board on its content for the Annual Budget 2017/2018 and other associated material. Engagement with the community, including consultation, and a number of workshops and meetings have been held by the local board and with the governing body to finalise their local board agreement.
Māori impact statement
14. Many local board decisions are of importance to and impact on Māori. Local board agreements and the annual budget are important tools that enable and can demonstrate council’s responsiveness to Māori. The local board agreement is based on the local board plan and the Annual Budget 2017/2018 which have both been developed through engagement with the community, including Māori. There is a need to continue to build relationships between local boards and iwi, and where relevant the wider Māori community. Ongoing conversations will assist local boards and Māori to understand each other’s priorities and issues. This in turn can influence and encourage Māori participation in council’s decision-making processes.
Implementation
15. The resolutions of this meeting will be reported to the governing body on 29 June 2017, when it meets to adopt the Annual Budget 2017/2018 including 21 local board agreements and associated performance targets and budgets.
16. Decisions on the local board agreement, a message from the chair, local board advocacy, local activity budgets and local performance targets are required in order for staff to finalise local content for the Annual Budget 2017/2018.
17. It is possible that minor changes may need to be made to the attachments before the annual budget is adopted, such as correction of any errors identified and minor wording changes. Staff therefore recommend that the local board delegates authority to the Local Board Chair to make final changes if necessary.

Chairman’s Report – Colin Davis
File No.: CP2017/10867
Purpose
1. To update the Ōrākei Local Board Members on projects, activities and issues since last reported.
a) That the report be received. |
Portfolio Lead: Arts, Events and Libraries; Heritage
Other (alternate portfolio holder): Resource Consenting and Regulatory; Civil Defence and Emergency Management
Heritage
(1) Tāmaki Drive Searchlights
Little Council work appears to have been done on advancing this project after two years or so. Vector has recently removed the power pole and undergrounded the telephone and power lines on the reserve adjacent to searchlight emplacement no. 3 at Biddick’s Bay, Tāmaki Drive, and provided for future floodlighting of no. 3. With this work done, and the new maintenance contract, to commence on 1 July, the overgrown area around emplacement no. 3 in particular will be cleared, and the grass mowed. Positive remedial and restoration work on nos. 1, 2 and 3 can then be undertaken. The text for the sign is ready but the illustrations are still being obtained.
(2) Heritage Projects
Work is continuing on the heritage project to identify and photograph heritage sites, artefacts and plaques in the Board’s area for inclusion with appropriate text in the Board’s page on the Council’s website, for possible printing and QR coding.
The Board’s World War One Roll of Honour on the website is continuing to be updated as more information is found.
(3) Stonefields Heritage Trail
Deputy Chair Parkinson and I walked the complete length of the Heritage Trail on 31 May. Safety fencing is still being installed and finishing work is still being done on the stairs. The anticipated completion date, which is weather-dependant, is probably two months away. Fitting of the safety panels is a problem and taking more time than anticipated. Approval has been given by the owners of a site in Lunn Avenue to provide access from the Trail to the Lunn Avenue area.
Photographs are attached.
Other
Communications
As discussed with Board members, and noting that media representatives seldom attend the Board’s business meetings and little of the Board’s work is published by the media, I have initiated an e-newsletter which will be edited by the Board’s communications adviser. This will be sent monthly to those on the Board’s recently updated stakeholder list. The e-newsletter will improve the Board’s ongoing communication with constituents. In addition, it will be supplemented by digests of decisions made at the Board’s monthly business meetings which will also be sent to the stakeholder list soon after each business meeting. The e-newsletter will be an opportunity for each Board member to provide material, including photographs from their portfolios. The e-newsletter will also supplement the single page that the Board has in the Ōrākei edition of Our Auckland, and the Board’s Facebook page, which attracts limited interest. The first e-newsletter was published in the week of 5 June.
Activities (since 7 May 2017)

Board Member Report - Troy Churton

Purpose
1. To update the Ōrākei Local Board Members on projects, activities and issues since the last Ōrākei Local Board meeting.
a) That the report be received. |
Portfolio Lead: Resource Consenting and Regulatory
Kohimarama Ecology work Assessment of Alternatives- Section 4
2. During and after contributing to the weeding day I recommended to Ms Battersby and her group they consider a private plan change to reinstate either a S.E.A or other recreational type of zone on to the rear parts of all adjacent sections containing the bush once held as a S.E.A. She will investigate that with her lawyers.
Kepa Road Bush
3. I have also liaised between Brett Young and John Laroche regarding how the Board may spend the 293,000 allocated for Kepa Road trach works, and renewed signage. Brett Young could help elucidate on this if he is at the meeting.
Planning & Regulatory matters
4. As lead for this portfolio I attended a training day and workshop to discuss ‘triggers’ requiring planners to forward files to me for comment as to whether they should be notified or not. The finalised list of triggers is not ready at time of writing but should be tabled at the meeting.
5. However, I have advocated and clarified that section 15 the Board is nonetheless entitled to comment on any application that may be on a list of non notified consents by acting pursuant to section 15(2)(c) of the Local Government Auckland Council Act 2009 and for those comments to be considered by the governing body viz a viz the planners and Commissioner granting any consent or not.
6. Under that section, the Board's "views or preferences" MUST be considered –
if the decision affects or may affect the responsibilities or operation of the local board or the well-being of communities within its local board area.
Remuera Resident Association
7. Details from meeting Tuesday night to come.
4 Victoria Avenue - CAB venue
8. Panuku Development Auckland (PDA) have advised as follows:
As a courtesy, the owner of the property located at 356 Remuera Road advised PDA on 3 May 2017 that survey works would be undertaken on his site. There is a right of way easement in favour of the adjacent landowner across the Council owned land at 4 Victoria Avenue.

Board Member Report - Carmel Claridge
File No.: CP2017/10871
Purpose
1. To update the Ōrākei Local Board Members on projects, activities and issues since the last Ōrākei Local Board meeting.
a) That the report be received. |
Portfolio Lead: Environment
Other (alternate portfolio holder): Parks and Reserves, Community Leases and Transport
Environment:
1. Resuspension of the trapped sediment during peak peak flows which is only likely to be exacerbated as the impervious surface area of surrounding housing areas increases due to housing intensification
2. Over dominance of Mercer Grass
3. Short-circuiting of flows.
In May 2017, I put a series of questions to the Community Facilities team to ascertain the current service levels and frequency of monitoring and cleaning of silt traps in the Waiatarua Reserve, and to determine extent of the problem of ‘weed overgrowth’. Attached is their response which indicates that monitoring and inspection is being carried out on a regular basis and that the silt traps (or forebays as they are also referred to) are being cleaned on a ‘as needs doing’ basis.
De-silting was carried out in October last year with the reported removal of 128 tonnes of sediment. The cost of this de-silting amounted to $107,000. Monthly inspection costs amount to $43,000 per annum. We have been advised that Healthy Waters engineers regularly inspect the main wetland body observing sediment build-up as desilting and renewal of the main wetland body is “likely to be required, in whole or in part, over a timescale of decades”.
The responses relating to questions around weed control were of interest in that they indicated that the current level of ‘weediness’ does not necessarily seem to be problematic from Healthy Waters’ perspective, and that to an extent the weed growth serves a purpose in helping control water flow. The problematic Mercer Grass has not as yet been singled out as a particular weed species for targeted treatment. Further is to be sought on whether existing levels of Mercer grass within the Reserve are acceptable or whether additional resources need to be allocated for control/eradication measures within the Wetland.
In order to maintain control of invasive weed species while reducing costs and potential danger to desirable plant species, a holistic management approach needs to be adopted. That co-ordinated management approach must also include all aspects of park and structural maintenance, including a more tightly monitored examination of the forebays/silt-traps, and a solution based programme to deal with the short circuiting of water flows. With the monthly reporting now being presented to the Board under the new Project 17 Contract procedures, there will be clearer communication channels established between the agencies involved in the different maintenance aspects of the wetlands, which I am cautiously optimistic, will ensure cost efficiencies and more regular de-silting. I am of the view that budget funds allowing – a comprehensive Management Plan for the Waiatarua Wetlands should obtained by the Board in the next financial year.

Pond Maintenance:
Routine Monthly: Inspect and clean culverts, inlets, grilles and weirs. Inspect and clean litter and debris from pond and surround. Maintain grass (mow) in pond surround areas. Maintain terrestrial weeds in pond surround areas. Maintain aquatic weeds in pond and culvert areas. Maintain mulched areas in pond surround areas. Maintain paved areas, overland flow paths, rock walls and retaining structures in pond surround areas.

1. Will the new Communities Facilities contract for the maintenance of Waiatarua include a provision requiring regular weed control in the perimeter waterways and regular cleaning of the silt traps?
The Communities Facilities contract pertains only to managing those parts of the reserve above the waterline. Any weed control (where required) in the waterways or wetland would be the responsibility of Healthy Waters. The forebays (silt traps – indicated by the purple lines in the picture below) to the wetlands are not desilted on fixed time intervals. We monitor the sediment build up in the fore bays and desilt them when needed. These fore bays were desilted recently.
2. Is there any current Management programme in place at Auckland Council or WaterCare to safeguard the function of Waiatarua as a stormwater catchment, and which stipulates the maintenance required in this amenity for optimum function?
In addition to the forebay desilting referred to in 1 (above), the maintenance regime is as follows:
- Monthly inspections of the inlet and outlet as shown in the red circle. The inlet and outlet are also inspected before and after heavy storms.
- Monthly inspection of the watercourse next to the yellow line including control the weeds. Historically, this weed control has been achieved using herbicides. Since residents erected ‘no-spray’ signs, Healthy Waters maintenance contractors have removed weeds by mechanical removal only. The effectiveness of mechanical removal only is not well understood at this stage, but Healthy Waters will continue to monitor this aspect.
- Desilting and renewal of the main wetland body is likely to required, in whole or in part, over a timescale of decades. Healthy Waters engineers regularly inspect the main wetland body. This includes observations around sediment buildup.
3. In the event that there is no provision for weeding/upkeep of the Waiatarua Waterways to what extent is this likely to impact on the water quality of the flow through to the Ōrākei Basin?
Upkeep of forebays and the wetland body is necessary to maintain treatment capacity (i.e. to achieve the desired water quality outcomes). There is no evidence that the presence of weed species has a negative impact on water quality, providing it does not cause substantial die-back of planted wetland species. A modest level of weed species is relatively common in many pond and wetland treatment assets.
4. Should the new Community Facilities contract fail to include provisions for the upkeep of the waterways to ensure adequate water quality health levels what body within the Council structure is then responsible for the public health element?
Community Facilities are not responsible for aquatic weeds. Upkeep of the waterways is the responsibility of Healthy Waters. The Waiatarua wetland is constructed to manage urban stormwater contaminants, such as sediment, copper and zinc. Whilst it may remove some bacteria, this should be at relatively low levels in the inflow to the wetland. As such, even in the event of failed upkeep, there should be no increased public health risk.
5. Are you able to provide any cost estimates for water monitoring/ silt trap cleaning/ waterway weed control?
We currently do not have a water monitoring programme in place, and there are no silt traps around. Our maintenance activities around this reserve include:
Monthly inspections of the inlet and outlet as shown in the red circle. The inlet and outlet are also inspected before and after heavy storms.
Monthly inspections of the watercourse next to yellow line including control the weeds. The annual cost for item A and B above around $43,000. The fore bays were desilted recently.
Sediment removal from the fore bays (next to the purple lines and this can be considered as silt traps). These fore bays are not desilted on fixed time intervals. We monitor the sediment build up and quality in the fore bays and desilt them when needed. These fore bays were desilted recently and cost around $107,000.
The current chemical used for aquatic weed control by AC has been discontinued; an alternative search for an organic replacement is under review. We are not allowed to use chemical spray to control aquatic weeds in this area.

Economic Development
There were no Business Association Meetings within this reporting period.
Follow up from various queries continued through the month.
Remuera Business Association
Trip hazard outside 419 Remuera Rd has been fixed by Auckland Transport (AT).
Clonbern Lane – RBA states that there is a need to have a maintenance plan for the Clonbern Lane, and mentions that it should to be cleaned more than the allotted AT 3 times per year simply because, it is a shared lane for pedestrians and used by service vehicles it is not a thoroughfare for vehicles. Money has been invested making this an attractive space with having painted the lane access and erecting red screens.
Mission Bay Business Association
Still waiting to hear back from AT regarding the changes for parking limits within Mission Bay especially outside the Pharmacy.
Signage for Gym equipment, and public toilet upgrade on Selwyn Reserve in progress.
Concern over the lack of barrier on Tāmaki Drive and the new streetscape. AT been advised of this.
St Heliers Village Association
Continuing discussion over the cleaning by AT for the St Heliers Village Commercial area.
The Association is keen to have the Village streetscape upgraded, and after a recent survey of businesses this was of top priority. This will be on-going and a design will be forthcoming.
Ellerslie Business Association
Have had a very successful month of Art in Ellerslie, finishing with another “Pencil” artwork celebrating Ellerslie School’s 140 years 1877 – 2017.

Ōrākei backs their BIDs
Rosalind (Ros) Rundle, pictured, brings a strong business background to her role as the Ōrākei Local Board’s appointee to the area’s three BIDs.
The former retailer and motelier, who is serving her first term on the local board, says the village-orientated BIDs play a pivotal role in the local economy. “The managers are to be commended for their hard work in promoting their town centres. With many local businesses being from the retail sector, online competition has made the retail environment hugely competitive,” she says.
Ōrākei is now consulting on its draft Local Board Plan 2017. ‘A thriving economy’ is one of five key outcome areas in the aspirational plan which will guide the local board’s work over the next three years. |
|
Infometrics’ Ōrākei Economic Profile indicates this local board area is a magnet for high-achievers. This attracts more entrepreneurs many of whom work from home.
“We would like to encourage these entrepreneurs and businesses to become more involved in their local business networks and or business associations.
“It’s important to me that local businesses know they’re being supported and we’re here to help them to be successful,” says Ros.
Like every part of Auckland, transport is an issue for fast-growing Ōrākei. Ros plays an important liaison role between council-controlled organisation, Auckland Transport, and local businesses on a steady flow of issues.
“I really like the BID programme which provides local businesses with a say in how their targeted rate is invested.
“We’re happy to work with the business associations on town centre activities and help them evaluate the economic impact of events on these areas,” says Ros.

Community
Ōrākei Community Centre
Several long standing hirers of the centre are extremely unhappy with the increase of the centre charges. Several hirers have been hiring the centre for many many years and will not be entitled to a grant as has been suggested. Unfortunately, this will lead to several finding new premises.
Suggest that the $10,474 subsidy that Community Places holds for the OCC be used to support long standing hires and not new groups.
Or Suggest that whilst the research is being undertaken for OCC to be ‘community managed’ a ‘holding period’ be established for long standing hires with historic rates with an increase of say 3% as in previous years for inflation. This should only be necessary until 30/6/18.
Or a variation or combination of above 2 options to be further explored.
Ōrākei Community Association
Attended meeting – Pursuing the Ōrākei History Book for future generations.
Concerned about the Stormwater overflows, this is being addressed at a higher level.
