Comments

7. It is proposed that the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board Ecological Volunteer and Environmental Programme will facilitate similar projects and activities as in previous years. Attachment A proposes an indicative budget allocation towards ecological volunteer and environmental activities. The attachment also provides an indicative budget allocation to each volunteer group. The budget allocation to individual groups is subject to change over the course of the financial year and is dependent on various group requirements and/or establishment of additional volunteer groups.

a) Regular attendance and reporting at their bi-monthly meeting

b) Encourage new groups to attend

c) Provision of meeting refreshments.

10. Local Parks staff recognise that Infrastructure and Environmental Services (I&ES) also run volunteer activities in Hibiscus and Bays. Therefore, there are potential synergies and efficiencies to be gained through regular contact and liaison with I&ES. During the course of the year, the Community Ranger will liaise with relevant representatives from IE&S and evaluate alignment of programmes and opportunities to maximise benefits and achievements through combined volunteer activities.

11. It is expected that during the 2017/2018 volunteer programme delivery that branding and promotion opportunities will be leveraged and the support received from the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board will be promoted (eg through event promotional signage).

Land owner approval for permanent access from 9 Hurdlow Place, Manly, over the adjoining esplanade reserve, Moreton Glade, Manly.

File No.: CP2017/13523

Purpose

1. To consider the land owner application from Kerry Deane, the applicant, for permanent access from 9 Hurdlow Place, Manly, over the adjoining esplanade reserve, Moreton Glade, Manly, for the maintenance of wastewater pipes.

Executive summary

2. A request has been received for land owner approval from Kerry Deane, the applicant, for permanent access from 9 Hurdlow Place, Manly, 0930, over the adjoining esplanade reserve, Moreton Glade, for the maintenance of wastewater pipes, as depicted in Attachment A.

3. The applicant has advised that the wastewater system servicing her property is located on the lower and western portion of the site, and requires vehicle access for maintenance by Watercare Services Limited. The applicant states that vehicle access to this portion of the site from other areas of the site is difficult due to the growth of trees and shrubs.

4. Attachment A shows an existing legal road access to 9 Hurdlow Place, Manly.

5. In July 2016 Watercare Services Limited reported that at present the existing wastewater pipe on the property is not scheduled for removal or replacement, attached as Attachment B.

6. The application is not compatible with the purpose of esplanade reserves for public use and enjoyment, or the identified walkway in this location as outlined in the Hibiscus and Bays Greenways - Local Paths Plan, December 2016.

7. This report recommends the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board decline the application The applicant could apply for temporary access to service the waste water pipes at a future date when requested from Watercare Services Limited.

8. This provides a solution for access and guides appropriate use, development and management of the reserve into the future. The reserve remains in public use for car and boat trailers as originally intended.

Recommendation/s

That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:

a) decline the land owner application by Kerry Deane for permanent access through the adjoining esplanade reserve, Moreton Glade, to 9 Hurdlow Place, Manly

b) approve the Manager Land Advisory Services, Stakeholder and Land Advisory, Community Facilities exercising their delegation to decline the landowner approval application.

Comments

9. The reserve adjoining the property is legally described as Lot 281 DP 40296. This reserve is held in fee simple by Auckland Council as an unclassified local purpose esplanade reserve and is subject to the Reserves Act 1977. The following site specific details have been obtained for this reserve at Moreton Glade, Manly, adjoining 9 Hurdlow Place, Manly:

· Auckland Unitary Plan zone – open space recreation zone

· no hazards identified

· no notable trees

· not identified as a significant ecological area in this specific part of the reserve

· not a contaminated site or closed landfill

· no sites or places of significance identified for mana whenua

10. The reserve provides part of the connectivity of the proposed priority greenways/walkways as outlined in the Hibiscus and Bays Greenways- Local Paths Plan, December 2016, Hibiscus Coast Subdivision and it is considered this may be negatively affected by the applicant’s proposal.

11. The formed legal road access as indicated in Attachment A runs in from Hurdlow Place and around past the reserve adjoining the property providing access to the site. Although access to the lower and western portion of the site is difficult due to the trees and shrubs that have grown over the years, this could be managed with the trimming and/or removal of the trees and shrubs and re-planting when a new access is formed.

12. As indicated in Attachment B the wastewater pipe is an asbestos cement pipe, which has an estimated life expectancy of 60 years. According to Watercare Services Limited’s records, the wastewater pipe was installed in 1975 and is within the range and operation as designed. Maintenance of the pipe will be undertaken as required if any faults occur.

13. The applicant provided a letter from the previous Rodney County Council dated 12 April, 1984 stating that an entrance place from 9 Hurdlow Place (Lot 249) onto the access is available, attached as Attachment C. This was not formalised and no easements to this effect were created on the title attached as Attachment D. The letter reinforces that the access track is available for use by public, as the public boat ramp is utilised by those living in the vicinity.

14. The parks and places specialist and the maintenance service delivery coordinators have been consulted and staff do not support the permanent use of the adjoining esplanade reserve as a private and permanent right of way access for 9 Hurdlow Place, Manly.

15. The options are to:

· decline the land owner application

· approve the landowner application and grant an easement under section 48 of the Reserves Act 1977.

16. Option 1 – Hibiscus and Bays Local Board decline the landowner application to grant a permanent easement.

a) This is the recommended option by staff. Staff recommend that the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board decline the landowner application from Kerry Deane for permanent access

17. Option 2 – Hibiscus and Bays Local Board approve the landowner application to grant a permanent easement

a) The process to provide permanent access is to grant an easement under section 48 of the Reserves Act 1977. This involves a local board workshop, public notification and iwi engagement and a hearing if any submissions are received. A legal easement agreement would then be established between Auckland Council and the applicant. Costs would be at the applicant’s expense including the valuation of the land provided for access and commercial consideration for the easement. Staff do not support this option for the following reasons:

· this outcome creates a conflict and/or competing use for the access way with private vehicles competing with public users

· council would be liable if any accidents occurred when reversing out of the private driveway

· this option is less appropriate where park land is required for future increased population growth in the surrounding area

· legal advice does not support this action as it is a precedent of council not to grant an easement for access over public reserves

· the applicant has an alternative solution to enable access to the western portion of the property through the legally formed driveway

· the applicant can re-apply for temporary access when the maintenance work is scheduled by Watercare Services Limited.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

18. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board has not reviewed this landowner application previously. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board has delegated authority to approve or to decline a landowner application.

19. The private use of this reserve is not compatible with the purpose of esplanade reserves for public use and enjoyment, or the identified walkway in this location as outlined in the Hibiscus and Bays Greenways - Local Paths Plan, December 2016. The application does not support the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board Outcome:

· to provide quality local parks, reserves and facilities for our community.

Māori impact statement

20. If the application proceeded it is council’s practice to consult with all iwi as identified as having an interest in land in a local board’s respective geographical area.

21. Section 4 of the Conservation Act 1987 is the driver for Iwi consultation with reserve lands and reads; “This Act shall so be interpreted and administered as to give effect to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi”. Auckland Council is expected (and as good practice) to fulfil the obligations of Section 4 on behalf of the Crown as treaty partner when dealing with either council owned or council managed reserves.

22. The applicant has not engaged with iwi for this proposal.

Implementation

23. If the application is declined the formal land owner letter will be forwarded to the applicant stating the reasons why the option to grant permanent access is declined.

24. The applicant can proceed with a land owner application for temporary access when the pipes require servicing or access to the site is needed on a temporary basis in the future.

Landowner approval for the installation of a security fence for the storage of boats at Manly Sailing Club, Manly Park, 65 Laurence Street, Manly.

File No.: CP2017/13537

Purpose

1. To request landowner approval for the installation of a permanent security fence surrounding the lease area of the Manly Sailing Club for the storage of boats at Manly Park, 65 Laurence Street, Manly.

Executive summary

2. The applicant, Harold Bennett, is seeking land owner approval to construct a permanent fence, surrounded by shrubs, around the current lease area of Manly Sailing Club. This is depicted in Attachment A. Due to the success of “The Russell Coutts Sailing Foundation” the club is exploring options for storage for the training boats used for junior and youth sailing courses. The new fence will provide a secure area for the storage of the boats when not in use.

3. The applicant’s proposal is for the fence to be constructed of 1.8 metre vertical wooden palings to be left unpainted and allowed to weather. The applicant is also requesting to remove the shrubs adjacent to the clubhouse and plant new shrubs/trees along the fence line.

4. The maintenance delivery coordinator, senior community lease advisor and parks and places specialist generally support the proposal. However, it is recommended that the fencing be constructed of materials similar to the Torbay Sailing Club fence as shown in Attachment B. The mesh fencing provides clear and unobstructed visibility and is less likely to be vandalised. The applicant agrees with this option.

Recommendation/s

That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:

a) approve the land owner application by Harold Bennett for the installation of a permanent security fence surrounding the lease area of the Manly Sailing Club for the storage of boats at Manly Park, 65 Laurence Street, Manly, with the amendment of the alternative fencing material to be of chain-link mesh as indicated in Attachment B.

b) approve the Manager Land Advisory Services, Stakeholder and Land Advisory, Community Facilities exercising their delegation to execute the landowner approval.

Comments

5. The leased area for Manly Sailing Club is currently held in fee simple by Auckland Council as an unclassified recreation reserve and subject to the provisions of the Reserves Act 1977. The operative community lease expires on 31 May 2025 with one right of renewal for a further 33 year period.

6. The Manly Sailing Club is recognised in the Manly Park Reserve Management Plan 1998 as an identified landscape modification and the occupancy formalised by the lease agreement.

7. The applicant proposes to remove the shrubs adjacent to the clubhouse and to plant new shrubs along the new fence line to soften the effects and provide shelter. Staff recommend that the planting plan be reviewed by the council eco arboriculture specialist and be established within the lease area. Under the operative lease, the club is responsible for the ground and garden maintenance of the lease area.

8. Option 1 – Hibiscus and Bays Local Board approve the landowner application

Staff recommend that:

a) the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board approve the landowner application from Harold Bennett, on behalf of Manly Sailing Club, for the construction of the fence as indicated in Attachment A with the amendment of the alternative fencing material to be chain-link mesh as indicated in Attachment B and

b) approve the Manager Land Advisory Services, Stakeholder and Land Advisory, Community Facilities exercising their delegation to execute the land owner approval and license documentation.

9. Option 2 - Hibiscus and Bays Local Board decline the landowner application.

a) If the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board decline this application the proposed fencing will not be constructed and there will be no security for the training boats. This impedes the club’s ability to store boats on site and creates a risk that equipment stored outside is likely to be damaged or stolen. Staff do not recommend this option.

10. Overall, the applicant’s proposal is considered to be acceptable to the Community Facilities Department because:

· The Manly Sailing Club is recognised in the Manly Park Reserve Management Plan, 1998 - Objective 2:

o “To provide facilities and develop the reserve to the north of Laurence Street in a manner to enhance the experience of the public using Big Manly for passive or boating recreation;”

· Manly Park Reserve Management Plan, 1998 - Objective 3:

o “To recognise the existing leases that provide for specific types of recreation on areas of the reserve;”

- Policies (i) “The lease should ensure that adequate facilities are provided to meet the needs of the club while not compromising the use of the reserve by the general public;”

· Sailing events provide active recreation for youth in the local area and bring revenue to the local community with out of town visitors attending special events staying in local accommodations and spending at local businesses; and

· Staff have recommended an alternative fencing material option that will minimise the effect to the open space.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

11. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board has not reviewed this landowner application previously. The Hibiscus and Bays Local Board has authority to approve or to decline this landowner application.

12. This aligns with the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board Plan 2014 Outcome: Easy Access to Recreation Choices and Open Space:

· Our quality network of open spaces and recreation facilities support a balanced and healthy lifestyle for residents.

Māori impact statement

13. The applicant has not engaged with iwi for this proposal.

Implementation

14. If this application is approved by the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board the sailing club will be able to proceed with the construction of the fence. The land owner approval conditions will include:

· That the fence is built from chain-link mesh

· a health and safety plan

· liability conditions including insurance and full reinstatement

· conditions for planting from the eco arboriculture specialist

15. If this application is declined then the applicant will not be able to construct the security fencing.

Auckland Plan Refresh 2018: early feedback to inform draft plan

File No.: CP2017/11832

Purpose

1. To invite formal feedback from local boards on high-level, strategic themes and focus areas to guide development of the draft refreshed Auckland Plan.

Executive summary

2. The Auckland Plan sets out a bold and ambitious 30-year vision to guide the growth and development of Auckland. The Auckland Plan is our key strategic document that informs regional priorities that will be funded through the Long-term Plan 2018-2028. The current Auckland Plan was adopted in 2012 and provided strategic direction in a number of significant areas. The refresh provides an opportunity to revisit Auckland’s most challenging issues in light of changes since the Auckland Plan was adopted to ensure it continues to be a useful guiding document for Auckland.

3. The refreshed Auckland Plan will be more focused on a small number of inter-linked strategic themes that address Auckland’s biggest challenges. These themes are:

· Skills and Jobs

· Belonging

· Homes and Places

· Protect and Enhance

· Access and Connectivity

4. The Auckland Plan is also intended to have a greater focus on the development strategy, which must achieve the social, economic, environmental and cultural objectives of the plan.

5. Over the last five months, local boards have been involved in Planning Committee workshops and local board cluster briefings on the Auckland Plan refresh as part of their shared governance role.

6. Local boards are now invited to consider their formal position on the themes and focus areas and provide further feedback. The formal feedback will be considered by the Planning Committee at its meeting on 1 August 2017.

Recommendation/s

That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:

a) provides feedback, including any specific feedback on the challenges, opportunities, strategic themes and focus areas.

b) notes that the local board’s resolutions will be reported back to the Planning Committee when it meets to decide on direction to inform the draft Auckland Plan on 1 August 2017

c) notes that there will be further opportunities to provide feedback on the draft plan as council continues through the refresh process during 2017.

Comments

Background

7. Auckland Council is required under the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 to develop and review a spatial plan for Auckland. The Auckland Plan (the plan) sets out a bold and ambitious 30-year vision to guide the growth and development of Auckland. The plan is our key strategic document that informs regional priorities that will be funded through the Long-term Plan (LTP) 2018-2028. The current Auckland Plan was adopted in 2012 and provided strategic direction in a number of significant areas. The refresh provides an opportunity to revisit Auckland’s most challenging issues in light of changes since the plan was adopted to ensure it continues to be a useful guiding document for Auckland.

8. On 28 March 2017, the Planning Committee endorsed a streamlined spatial approach for the refresh of the Auckland Plan. The refreshed plan will be more focused and structured around a small number of inter-linked strategic themes that address Auckland’s biggest challenges. The key challenges for Auckland are identified as:

· scale and rate of population growth

· greater environmental pressures resulting from that growth

· uneven distribution of growth benefits.

9. The plan is also intended to have a greater focus on the development strategy, which must achieve the social, economic, environmental and cultural objectives of the plan.

10. Over the last five months, local boards have been involved in Planning Committee workshops and local board cluster briefings on the Auckland Plan refresh as part of their shared governance role. All local board chairs were invited to the February, March and April 2017 Planning Committee workshops on the Auckland Plan. In the March 2017 workshops, local board chairs generally indicated support for a refresh of the plan. Chairs (or their representatives) provided theme by theme feedback, noting that this expressed the views of local board chair(s) only.

11. Local board cluster briefings for local board members were held in February and April 2017. The February 2017 briefing provided an initial introduction to the refresh. In April 2017, a high-level summary of the Planning Committee workshop content was presented. Early information and feedback from local boards was used to refine the scope of strategic themes and focus areas. Key themes emerging from local board feedback are included in Attachment B. The results of these workshop discussions fed into an information report distributed to elected members on 1 May 2017.

12. Local boards are invited to consider the strategic themes and focus areas and provide further, formal feedback, including any specific feedback on the challenges and opportunities.

Strategic themes and focus areas

13. The high-level, strategic themes and focus areas are outlined in Table 1. These provide the basis for early. The key strategic themes include:

· Skills and Jobs: recognising the importance of skills and jobs in enabling prosperity and individual and community well-being.

· Belonging: Enabling participation in society to underpin a sense of belonging. Aucklanders’ willingness to live and work together and invest in Auckland’s future is based on trust, tolerance and mutual respect.

· Homes and places: Enabling successful urban environments. Homes and places influence Aucklanders’ health, safety and well-being, living standards and financial position.

· Protect and enhance: Acknowledging the impacts of growth and development on Auckland’s natural environment, cultural and built heritage, and their contribution to broader outcomes for Auckland.

· Access and connectivity: Enabling Aucklanders to get to where they want to go through connections between Auckland, other parts of New Zealand and the world, both in the physical sense and by digital means.

14. These strategic themes are intended to provide direction to the high-level development strategy, which guides how Auckland will grow and develop and our investment priorities. Further supporting material is provided in Attachment A.

Table 1: Strategic framework

Strategic themes	Focus areas
Skills and jobs	Enterprise and innovation
	Education pathways and life-long learning
	Retain and attract talent and investment
Belonging	The importance of Māori and Māori values
	Equitable opportunities for all to achieve their full potential
	Inclusive, resilient and thriving communities
	Value and celebrate Auckland’s diversity
Homes and Places	More homes (supply, choice and infrastructure)
	Affordable, safe, stable homes
	Urban areas that work
Protect and Enhance	Sustainability and resilience embedded in how we grow and develop
	Environment and cultural heritage are critical to broader outcomes
	Recognise and provide for role of Māori
Access and Connectivity	Easy to get to where you want to go
	Enabling and supporting growth
	Implement Auckland Transport Alignment Project
	Minimise harm (road accidents and deaths, environmental and cultural impacts)

15. The following questions may be useful in structuring feedback:

· What are the key challenges and opportunities facing Auckland in the future?

· What are the regional priorities for Auckland over the next 30 years from your local communities’ perspectives?

· Do the strategic themes and focus areas capture your communities’ regional priorities?

· Are we focusing on the right things?

· Are there any gaps?

Relationship to local board plans

16. In April/May 2017, local boards adopted their draft local board plans. Many local boards used direction provided by the Auckland Plan when preparing their draft local board plans to support better alignment between local and regional investment and activities. It is anticipated that the draft local board plans and ongoing discussion with communities will continue to inform local boards’ input to the Auckland Plan.

17. Local board plans will help inform the draft LTP 2018-2028 budget decisions. This includes the identification of locally driven initiatives and advocacy initiatives, which will deliver on local board outcomes. Based on an analysis of the draft local board plans 2017, there is strong alignment between draft local board plan and the Auckland Plan outcomes.

Next steps

18. Local boards are well-placed to provide input on regional priorities following public engagement on their draft local board plans.

19. Further engagement with local boards on development of the draft Auckland Plan will take place as part of the local board cluster workshops in July 2017.

20. On 1 August 2017, the Planning Committee will meet to agree direction to guide the draft Auckland Plan. Local boards’ formal feedback will be considered by the Planning Committee at its meeting on 1 August 2017.

21. There will be further opportunities to provide feedback on the draft plan as council continues through the refresh process.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

22. Local board feedback is being sought in this report.

23. A summary of feedback received from local board members to date is provided in Attachment B.

24. Local boards play an important role in relation to the content of the Auckland Plan through communicating local views to the governing body and providing input to regional strategies, policies and plans.

25. The refreshed plan will inform regional priorities that will be funded through the LTP 2018-2028.

Māori impact statement

26. The council is required to provide opportunities for Māori engagement and to support Māori capacity to participate in decision-making. When making significant decisions in relation to land or a body of water, the council must take into account the relationship of Māori and their culture and traditions with their ancestral land, water, sites, waahi tapu, valued flora and fauna and other taonga.

27. Staff from the Independent Māori Statutory Board (IMSB) provided guidance on the strategic themes. The IMSB’s Māori Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau was a guiding document underpinning the development of the strategic themes and focus areas.

28. The strategic themes acknowledge and celebrate Māori culture as Auckland’s point of difference, and mana whenua as Treaty partners in a multicultural Auckland.

29. An additional Māori theme is in development following a request from the Planning Committee. Further engagement with mana whenua and mataawaka is planned in developing the draft plan.

Implementation

30. Feedback from the local boards will be summarised and provided in full to the Planning Committee for consideration in decision-making to guide development of the draft plan.

Comments

Update on the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board’s Transport Capital Fund Projects

3. As at 7 June 2017 the balance of Local Boards Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) projects monies available to the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board for allocation prior to 30 June 2019 was $1,770,960 comprising:

· $452,518 from the 2016/2017 financial year;

· $649,799 from the 2017/2018 financial year; and

· $668,643 from the 2018/2019 financial year.

4. An additional amount of $688,702 is available to the local board from the 2019/2020 financial year commencing on 1 July 2019.

5. A range of projects will be considered initially by the local board’s Transport Interest Group (TIG) and brought to the local board for confirmation before being assessed against the criteria for the LBTCF by Auckland Transport (AT) staff. Assuming these projects meet the criteria, a rough order of cost for each will be provided for further consideration by members.

Consultations on Regulatory Processes

6. The following table lists consultations on regulatory processes considered recently by the local board:

Issues Raised by Elected Members

8. The following table lists issues raised by elected members and local board services staff to 3 July 2017:

	Location	Issue	Status
1	Glenvar Glade, Torbay	Request for signage restricting heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) on Glenvar Glade, Torbay.	Member Cooper requested a second sign prior to the intersection of Glenvar Road/Ian Sage Avenue in Torbay on 16 March 2017, advising that Glenvar Glade is restricted to HCVs. Member Cooper also requested that an existing sign at the intersection of Glenvar Road/Relko Crescent be removed, so that drivers of HCVs would be encouraged to seek an alternate route. Under consideration by Traffic Engineering.
2	Moenui Avenue, Orewa	Request for second footpath on Moenui Road, Orewa.	Member Parfitt requested a second footpath on Moenui Avenue, Orewa, on 21 March 2017, advising that that there was no ramp access for wheel chairs or mobility scooters to the existing footpath, necessitating use of the grass verge or the road to access a ramp onto the footpath. Referred to AT's Walking and Cycling Team for response, response expected in July.
3	Hammond Avenue, Hatfields Beach	Request for realignment of turn into Hammond Avenue, Hatfields Beach.	Member Parfitt asked, on behalf of a Hammond Road, Hatfields Beach resident on 4 April 2017 that the bend into Hammond Avenue from Hibiscus Coast Highway be realigned to slow traffic and reduce the number of close encounters the residents were having whilst entering/leaving their driveways. Member Parfitt was advised that detailed investigation would be carried out and, on 27 June 2017 was advised that this investigation, which had included site visits and observations of the speed of vehicles entering Hammond Avenue, had indicated that further works are unnecessary at this time and cannot be justified. Crash data for the intersection showing that there had been no accidents or crashes in the past 10 years relating to vehicles entering Hammond Avenue was provided. Seven crashes had occurred over this period, but these had involved vehicles exiting Hammond onto Hibiscus Coast Highway. This supported the engineers’ decision not to take further action.
4	Beach Road, Mairangi Bay	Request that the zebra crossing on Beach Road, Mairangi Bay, be raised.	Member Cooper asked on 8 May 2017 that the crossing on Beach Road, Mairangi Bay, be raised to allow easier and safer crossing for pedestrians. TIG members were advised on 23 June 2017 that they could expect a response by the end of July 2017. Under consideration by Traffic Engineering.
5	142 Whangaparaoa Road, Red Beach	Request for speed reduction in the vicinity of 142 Whangaparaoa Road, Red Beach.	The electorate agent for Mark Mitchell MP forwarded a letter of concern from a resident of North Haven Retirement Village on Whangaparaoa Peninsula on 23 May 2017. The resident asked for a reduction in the speed limit in the vicinity of the village at 142 Whangaparaoa Road, Red Beach, where there are also other aged care and medical facilities. He also noted that a Bayes bus was being parked on Whangaparaoa Road for lengthy periods in this area, making visibility for traffic exiting the village hazardous, and that a small mid-point refuge which people had used frequently, had been removed. On 9 June 2017 it was advised that AT's Metro team had contacted Bayes Buses and reminded them to park their buses safely and legally at all times. On 5 July 2017 the MP’s Office was advised that there are many situations where reliance on courteous motorists is necessary to enable access from a relatively minor side road or access. Ensuring that Bayes buses no longer park in the line of sight will greatly improve the situation, but there is also an option for less confident motorists to turn left from the access and re-route via Red Beach Road. In the case of an emergency, an ambulance is able to use its flashing lights and sirens to enter the traffic. A dynamic lane trial on this section of Whangaparaoa Road will be carried out early in 2018, one of the benefits of which will be the creation of two lanes in the peak direction which will remove the merging that otherwise occurs and the long single lane queue that extends across this access, providing relief during the morning peak period. With regard to the speed limit reduction, 60 km/h zones have historically been used on urban arterial roads across the Auckland region, with Whangaparaoa Road being just one example. As part of wider speed management planning in 2017/2018, AT will review the use of the arterial 60 km/h speed limits and consider whether they are still appropriate both generally across the network and in relation to specific sites where the function and use of the roads have changed since these speed limits were first set. AT may also investigate the appropriateness of the current speed limit between Hibiscus Coast Highway and Red Beach Road as part of the dynamic lane trial. For this reason, there are no immediate plans for a speed limit reduction on Whangaparaoa Road, but it will be considered as part of this network-wide review. There is no requirement for the speed limit to be 50 km/h at traffic signals and there are many signalised intersections across the region at which the speed limit is higher than 50 km/h. The mid-point refuge referred to was installed as a lane separator to guide motorists with merging and lane changes and is not designed to safely serve as a pedestrian refuge island. Members of the public should therefore use the safest crossing points available, which are at the signalised intersections at either end of the road.
6	Carlisle Road, Browns Bay	Request for future plans for Carlisle Road, Browns Bay.	Member Cooper asked on 25 May 2017 what AT's plans were for the area of Carlisle Road, Browns Bay, from 56 Carlisle Road to 830 Beach Road, in terms of enhancing the entranceway to Browns Bay and making it safer for vehicles and pedestrians. Member Cooper’s enquiry was forwarded to several AT departments to ensure a comprehensive assessment. On 30 June 2017 TIG members were advised that AT’s Network Operations and Safety team are expecting to implement safety improvements at the intersection of Carlisle and Firth Roads (realignment of kerbs, installation of pedestrian refuges and NSAAT restrictions etc.), and install a pedestrian refuge in the vicinity of 86 Carlisle Road during the third quarter of the 2017/2018 financial year (January – March 2018), providing budget for the work is confirmed. Other teams contacted advised that they had no plans for changes in the area.
7	Waiwera Beach, Waiwera	Parking at Waiwera Beach, Waiwera.	On 26 May 2017 Member Parfitt referred a request from a Waiwera resident that whoever makes the decisions about signage etc. allow the general public to enjoy unrestricted parking whilst enjoying Waiwera Beach. The request was as a result of a parking infringement notice being given to a beach user. The complainant noted that the area is packed to capacity with families on most weekends, who park and use the beach for outdoor recreation, and that placing signage, designated parking spaces or time limits on their visits would severely disadvantage the general beach going public. On 8 June 2017 AT's Parking Services Team advised that, due to Auckland’s increased population and consequent increased number of vehicles, parking practices that may have been previously seen as appropriate and of low impact, were now causing serious damage to berms and underground services in those berm areas. Whilst supporting the right of the general public to enjoy local beaches and the countryside, it was AT’s responsibility to propose and implement controls considered appropriate to ensure safety, to assist in the reduction of congestion, and to reduce or stop damage to the environment. The concerns expressed were noted and members were assured that AT would not consider proposing parking restrictions unless there was a valid reason to do so.
8	Knights Road, Rothesay Bay	Request for improved safety on Knights Road, Rothesay Bay.	Member Parfitt asked on behalf of a constituent on 2 June 2017 for an investigation into improved safety on Knights Road, Rothesay Bay, in light of continuing high vehicle speeds and accidents. Referred to Network Operations and Safety.
9	Hibiscus Coast	General queries about Special Event Buses.	Cr Watson asked on 14 June 2017 on behalf of a constituent whether the promoter had paid for all public transport services to Eden Park for the recent Lions vs. Blues rugby match; how much the ratepayers had subsidised the transport services for the event; if ratepayers had subsidised the transport costs for this event, why was this subsidy only available to some and not all ratepayers (i.e. those travelling from the Hibiscus Coast/Silverdale area); were special buses/trains laid on for this event or was subsidised travel also available on normal scheduled services; if subsidised travel was available on a mix of normal and special services, why were those on the Hibiscus Coast excluded from travel even on the normal services; had the ratepayers of Auckland ever subsidised travel costs for a function to the benefit of a commercial promoter and if so by how much; and what was the benefit to the ratepayer if such a thing was happening. Query referred to AT Metro.
10	Hibiscus Coast Highway, Silverdale	Pedestrian access across Hibiscus Coast Highway, Silverdale.	Member Parfitt forwarded the concerns of a Whangaparaoa resident regarding safe access, particularly for the disabled, from the East of Hibiscus Coast Highway to the new Silverdale Centre (the mall, medical centre etc.) Referred to Network Operations and Safety.

Whangaparaoa Road Dynamic Laning

9. AT’s dynamic control system trial on Whangaparaoa Road will go into operation early next year.

10. The dynamic lane trial is an initiative to explore the more efficient use of the existing road, with the potential to improve travel times during peak periods for people travelling to and from the Whangaparaoa Peninsula who are delayed through a constrained part of the route.

11. Safety is a key consideration and has been reflected in the design of the dynamic lane trial. The trial will use traffic control devices and an adaptive Light Emitting Diode (LED) light system in lieu of traditional painted on-road markings, the LED lights allowing changes to the road configuration quickly and safely, creating an extra lane during peak hour traffic. Traffic control gantries will clearly display which lanes motorist are to use.

12. Different kinds of dynamic lane controls have been used around the world to enable traffic to flow at peak times and similar arrangements are already in operation on the Panmure and Auckland Harbour Bridges. Dynamic lane controls are relatively quick to build and cost effective compared to road widening, allowing for better use of existing road space, a better travel experience for people travelling during peak periods, and the possibility of reducing the need to widen existing or build new roads, bringing significant cost benefits to ratepayers. The outcome of the trial will be used to determine the suitability of dynamic lane controls for this section of Whangaparaoa Road as a permanent feature, as well as its suitability in other parts of Auckland.

13. The location selected on Whangaparaoa Road is between Hibiscus Coast Highway and Red Beach Road where the road has two lanes and a central flush median, making it equivalent in width to three lanes in total. This stretch of road has pronounced tidal traffic movements during weekday peak periods.

14. The area of the trial is illustrated below, together with diagrams showing the proposed lane configurations during morning, afternoon and off-peak periods.

15. Notification/invitation letters and information brochures about the trial were distributed to residents and property owners along the trial area from late June and a special open day for these residents was held on Saturday, 8 July.

16. Wider distribution of the information brochure to the general public in the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, Orewa and Silverdale areas will be carried out closer to the start of the trial itself. Additional media releases, advertising and public information days to increase public awareness will also be arranged in the months leading up to the start of the trial.

CRL Ltd formalised to deliver NZ’s largest infrastructure project

18. A partnership between Government and Auckland Council to deliver the 3.45 kilometre City Rail Link (CRL), New Zealand’s largest infrastructure project, has been formalised.

19. When complete, the $3.4 billion City Rail Link will create two new underground stations (Aotea and Karangahape) and double both the number of trains on the Auckland network and the capacity of people on trains, easing congestion and enabling 30,000 people an hour to move during peak travel times.

20. The CRL is more than a transport project; it is an economic development project that will build an artery to feed thousands of employees into New Zealand’s highest value employment precinct. Over the next 30 years, approximately 60 per cent of New Zealand’s population growth is expected to occur in Auckland, with city centre and city fringe resident numbers doubling to 140,000 and employee numbers there doubling to more than 200,000. The CRL will therefore help Auckland deal with the challenge of unprecedented population growth and keep the city moving.

21. CRL Ltd (CRLL) is a crown entity, listed under Schedule 4A of the Public Finance Act, owned by the Crown and Auckland Council. The company has full governance, operational and financial responsibility for the CRL, with clear delivery targets and performance expectations. It is governed by a board chairman and directors. Procurement responsibilities were transferred from AT to CRLL, but AT and KiwiRail are engaged by CRLL to provide technical and operational support services. KiwiRail, the state-owned enterprise responsible for all rail operations, has a formal role in ensuring the CRL's interoperability with the wider rail network and the services, such as freight, that it provides.

22. The Crown and Auckland Council expect that the management, delivery and completion of the CRL will be an exemplar model for the efficient and effective provision of public infrastructure through central and local government collaboration.

Chief Executive’s Business Report and AT’s draft Statement of Intent

23. Each month AT’s Chief Executive prepares a business report for the AT Board which provides an overview of what is happening in each area of the business and gives a good insight into AT’s work.

24. The business report for June 2017 is available at:

https://at.govt.nz/media/1973798/item-10-open-business-report-20-june-2017.pdf

25. AT’s Draft Statement of Intent, which sets out AT’s strategic approach and priorities for the next three years and how these contribute to the longer-term outcomes Auckland Council aims to achieve, was also discussed at the 20 June AT Board meeting.

26. A copy of the Statement of Intent is available at:

https://at.govt.nz/about-us/transport-plans-strategies/statement-of-intent/

Changes to the Elections Signs Bylaw 2013

27. AT is proposing to amend the Election Signs Bylaw 2013 to clarify controls relating to the display of election signs.

28. It will also remove the present restriction limiting the display of election signs to the nine-week period preceding a local election or election for the Auckland Energy Consumer Trust.

29. The advantages of the proposed amendments are:

· The amended controls for election signs will provide greater clarity to those wishing to display election signs.

· The removal of the temporal restriction for the display of election signs will provide greater flexibility to both AT as the controller of specified sites on public places, and to those wishing to display election signs as to the period during which election signs may be displayed.

30. It is expected a final decision on the amendments will be made by early August 2017.

Road Safety at Auckland Transport

31. AT is working hard with its partners NZTA, NZ Police and the Accident Compensation Corporation to provide a coordinated, proactive and system-wide approach to tackling road safety in Auckland to reduce the number of people killed or injured on our roads.

32. The National Road Safety Strategy and Auckland’s Regional Road Safety Strategy promote a strong focus on reducing death and serious injury (DSI). The following statistics from the Auckland Region for 2016 are tragically sobering:

· 47 deaths and 578 serious injuries on the roading network;

· Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists make up around 50% of the DSI (an increasing trend since 2012);

· Auckland accounts for 57% of NZ's growth in DSI from 2012 to 2016;

· There was an average of 13 crashes a day on the network, each disrupting traffic by 39 minutes;

· DSI in Auckland has risen from 421 in 2012, to 625 in 2016.

33. Taking these statistics into account and analysing the root cause, the wider effects of growth in Auckland on the roading network can be seen, with more people moving around and the risks rising as a result.

34. For its part, AT is exploring opportunities across the organisation to provide a transport system that is more forgiving of the mistakes road users make. A targeted road safety programme is delivered every year, taking into consideration changing trends such as the increasing risk to vulnerable road users as more people walk and cycle on the network.

35. AT’s Transport Operations team is working more closely with AT’s planners and engineers who build the roads and transport facilities to consider wider safe-system principles through their design and construction. There is also an opportunity to target Auckland’s rural road safety problem through AT’s road maintenance programmes, and align high risk safety areas with routine road maintenance activities.

36. In addition, AT is at the forefront of raising awareness and influencing Aucklanders’ behaviours around road safety, delivering numerous community and road safety education initiatives and interventions. All of these programmes have seen an increase in attendance, from new walking school bus routes to increased intermediate and adult cycling training.

New AT Mobile app provides a simpler public transport journey

39. AT has launched a new app which makes catching a bus, train or ferry more intuitive and easier to use. The AT Mobile app has introduced new features and has been designed from the customer’s point of view.

40. To understand how customers would use the app and what they would find valuable, AT staff spoke extensively to customers throughout the app’s development, which provides a simpler and more intuitive way for people to travel around the city.

41. One of the big changes to the app is the alerts function. Once a journey is entered the app will send alerts and tell users how far away their buses or trains are, so that they know exactly when to leave home. The alerts can also be received on a wearable device, such as an Apple Watch, making it easier to know when to get off buses or trains if the user is making an unfamiliar trip.

42. The app uses location (GPS) services, tracking passengers’ journey as they go and making it easier to find unfamiliar bus stops, train stations and advising where to go to make transfers.

43. Ongoing customer feedback is actively being sought to regularly release new features to make sure the app keeps improving. A feedback loop has therefore been built in so that AT staff can hear how Aucklanders think the app should be improved and what they think should be added.

AT HOP Retailer Update

44. $20 prepaid AT HOP cards are now available for purchase at selected New World, Four Square and Pak‘n’Save outlets across Auckland.

45. There are also three new retailers where AT HOP cards can be purchased and topped up, including Pak‘n’Save Sylvia Park, Pak‘n’Save Silverdale and Windsor Park Superette.

46. Further information about AT’s HOP card, including the location of retailers, is available at www.at.govt.nz.

99cent Child Weekend Fares

47. With a registered AT HOP card, children aged 5 to 15 years pay just 99 cents for bus and train travel on weekends and public holidays, being able to make up to five bus or train trips over a four-hour period across any number of fare zones. The service excludes SkyBus services.

48. The four steps need to take advantage of 99 cent child weekend fares are:

· Buy an AT HOP card;

· Create a MyAT account;

· Register the AT HOP card to ensure the child discount for 5 to 15 year olds is applied.

49. The service is being promoted via an online video on YouTube and on AT’s website (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQIAg5Skp5Q), through a schedule of Facebook posts, on posters at 40 recreation/leisure facilities around Auckland during school holiday periods, through cinema advertising and on posters on buses and trains.
