to the landing place of Tainui canoe
at Ōtāhuhu.
There, let my salutations be borne
across the isthmus to the Pūkaki lagoon

From there we fly down coast to the
Waikato river mouth,
sacred waters of our forebears.
Coming ashore on the Northern side
at Maioro we head inland to Waiuku
and Mātukureira,

Heading southward I come to Pukekohe.
My words turn to follow the ancient
ridgelines along the Southern boundary,
dropping down into Mercer and Te Pou

My greetings reach you at Kaiaua
who gaze across Tīkapa Moana to
the sacred mountain, Moehau.
Taking to the sea, my remarks travel
to Maraetai
and then to Ōhuiarangi, sentinel
to Pakuranga.
There we follow again the Tāmaki
River
to Te Puke o Taramainuku, Ōtara
resides there.
From here I reach for Manurewa
until my greetings come to rest on
Pukekiwiriki
below lies Papakura and there I rest.

From the Chair
It’s our privilege
to present the Franklin Local Board Plan 2017. This plan sets out the outcomes,
objectives and key initiatives we will focus on over the next three years. A
big thank you to all the people and organisations who provided feedback on the
draft plan back in May and June of this year. There was great support for our
draft proposals, though we have used your feedback to tighten up on a few
things.
We face a huge challenge
from the amount of growth coming our way. Our population is predicted to double
to 106,800 residents by 2033. Special Housing Areas are underway in Paerata
(Wesley College land), Drury (Bremner Road), Clarks Beach, and Glenbrook Beach.
Land has been set aside south of Drury for industrial development. Beachlands
has many new residents. Smaller settlements are also experiencing population
increases and more through traffic, with further land development on the way.
Our parks, beaches, sports
grounds and roads face ever increasing demand. Services like water, wastewater,
health, and education need to be in place to support expanding and new
communities.
We need to be proactive to
cope with this growth.
We have listened to your
concerns and ideas and are working hard to develop solutions. We want to do
more with what we’ve got to meet your needs – fully use our sports
parks, make community facilities accessible to all, and have well-connected
open spaces. We will then plan for new facilities to support growth.
We will advocate for
better transport connections to ease the congestion that will also increase
with growth. Although improvements have been made to public transport,
including a new bus network for Pukekohe/Waiuku and works around Pukekohe
Railway Station, there is still much to be done across Franklin. Our focus will
be on enabling people to get around easily and safely.
We acknowledge the
challenges of maintaining services while keeping rates rises at acceptable
levels. To help with these efforts, we will collaborate with our communities on
projects that shape and develop local areas, enabling community-led action to
flourish. We know there is already great work being done by volunteers and we
will build on this to involve more people. We want to work with you to meet the
challenges coming our way and get the best outcome for everyone.

Franklin Local Board area
The Franklin area is predominantly
rural and has three main towns – Pukekohe, Waiuku and Beachlands. There
are a number of inland and coastal settlements, such as Āwhitu, Clarks
Beach, Karaka, Kingseat, Bombay, Ardmore, Clevedon and Kawakawa Bay. The area takes
in the inlets and foreshores of the Manukau Harbour in the west and stretches
across to the Hauraki Gulf in the east.
Franklin has a wealth of history;
early Europeans settled in Maraetai and Ōrere Point, Māori used the
Drury Hills as a viewpoint during the land wars and the Kentish Hotel in Waiuku
lays claim to being the oldest continuously licensed pub in New Zealand.

About local boards
Auckland Council has a unique model
of local government in New Zealand, made up of the governing body (the mayor
and 20 governing body members) and 21 local boards. The governing body focuses
on Auckland-wide issues while local boards are responsible for decision-making
on local issues, activities and services and provide input into regional
strategies, policies and plans.
These local issues,
activities and services include:
· supporting local arts,
culture, events and sport and recreation
· providing grants and
partnering with local organisations to deliver community services
· maintaining and
upgrading town centres and facilities including parks, libraries and halls
· caring for the
environment and preserving heritage.
Local boards also have a role in representing the view of
their communities on issues of local importance.
About local board plans
Local board plans are
strategic documents that are developed every three years to set a direction for
local boards. Reflecting community priorities and preferences, the plans guide
local board activity, funding and investment decisions. They also influence
local board input into regional strategies and plans, including the Auckland
Plan (the 30-year vision for Auckland), the
council’s 10-year budget and annual budgets.

Local board agreements
·
A key
role of local board plans is to provide a basis for developing annual local
board agreements. Agreed between the council’s governing body and local
boards, these are part of Auckland Council’s budget setting process and
set out local funding priorities, budgets, levels of service, performance
measures and targets by activity for each financial year. Each local
board develops annual work programmes alongside adoption of their local board
agreement.

Developing our plan
Our plan comprises
aspirational outcomes, objectives we want to achieve and some of the key
initiatives we will carry out to achieve them. To make this happen will take
the efforts of many working together.
During May and June 2017
we consulted on a draft of this plan for feedback. The draft was developed by
considering what we know about our community, having worked closely with you
over the last six years and heard your views on a wide range of things.
Over the consultation period, a total of 181 submissions
were received on the draft plan. In addition, 421 people provided feedback at
eight informal engagement events and there were 14 pieces of feedback gathered
through Facebook. The responses showed that most people supported the outcomes
in the draft plan. Common themes in feedback were requests for improvements to
public transport services and local roads, the need for new or upgraded
community facilities and support for environmental initiatives, including
protection of productive soils and development of recreational pathways to
connect outdoor spaces.
Te Whakaotinga 1: He taiao
tōtika te tiakina
Outcome 1: A
well-cared for natural environment
Enhance, protect and maintain our
diverse natural environment and make sure it’s able to be enjoyed.
Franklin has just under 20,000ha of
parkland, ranging from small urban parks to large regional parks on the coast.
This includes the coastlines and beaches of the Manukau Harbour in the west and
the Hauraki Gulf to the east, with numerous waterways in-between.
You have told us you want to connect
outdoor areas with tracks for walking, cycling and where appropriate, horse
riding. We will complete the trails plan for Beachlands/Maraetai and develop
similar plans for Waiuku and Pukekohe.
Over the next three years, we will
focus on improving the water quality of our waterways and harbours. We will
work with local communities, including volunteer groups, to help make our
waterways and coastlines clean and full of life so they can be enjoyed by all.
Pest plants and animals are a
problem, particularly in rural areas, and can reduce agriculture and farming
output. We will support good pest management practices through education and
help local groups with initiatives that reduce pests.
We can also protect our environment
by reducing the amount of waste going to landfill. We will support activities
that repurpose or recycle and provide information on how best to dispose of
waste, particularly hazardous waste.
Opportunities
· The large size of our area offers
diverse and scenic outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed by all.
· There is scope to plan more trails
across Franklin, building on the work done in Beachlands/Maraetai.
· Build on the strong base of
volunteers in our area and provide opportunities for them to be involved in
more environmental initiatives.
Challenges
· Our large area of parkland, including
reserves with coastal structures, needs a lot of resource for maintenance.
· Large numbers of people moving into
the area, combined with increasing numbers of visitors, puts pressure on open
spaces, requiring extra work to keep them in good condition.

Te Whakaotinga 2: He ōhanga ā-rohe whaihua
Outcome 2: A thriving local economy
Franklin has a strong economy and
attracts people to live, work locally and visit its attractions.
From 2005 to 2015, our local economy
grew at an average rate of 2.2 per cent, keeping pace with the Auckland region
rate of 2.3 per cent. In the same period, we had a higher growth in the number
of jobs on offer in Franklin. These increased on average by 2.1 per cent
compared to the Auckland average of 1.5 per cent.
A strong local economy is important
because it provides a better quality of life for residents and more jobs. Many
of you told us you want to work locally to avoid a long journey to work, but ultra-fast
broadband is needed in rural areas to support home-based businesses and small
commercial operations. We agree and will continue to advocate for ultra-fast
broadband across Franklin. We will also encourage major employers to locate in
our area, providing local jobs.
Many young people leave Franklin for
tertiary education as there is limited local availability. Education and
training to gain employment are important for our young people so they can be
confident, successful and contribute to a thriving economy. We will continue to
work on pathways from school to work for young people. Building on our
strengths in rural industries such as agriculture, horticulture and equine
offers the opportunity to establish Franklin as a rural centre of excellence. Establishing
rural research programmes, developing a rural services hub, and complementary
activities for equine and motorsport industries will increase the opportunities
for local young people to work locally.
Franklin offers many attractions for
visitors including rural landscapes, beaches, local museums, farmers’
markets, and iconic events such as motor racing and A&P shows. You said we
should further explore our tourism potential, and we will continue to work with
key partners such as the Franklin Tourism Group and Auckland Tourism, Events
and Economic Development to link and promote these attractions.
Opportunities
· Build on Franklin as a destination by
targeting visitors to Auckland and increasing local accommodation.
· The Franklin Local Economic Development
Action Plan provides a blueprint for growing our local economy.
· We can collaborate with organisations
and neighbouring towns to leverage and cross-promote events.
Challenges
· Congestion on roads may deter people
from visiting Franklin.
· Congestion leads to unproductive
commuting time for people working outside Franklin.
· Providing enough business land to
support new businesses and local jobs.

Outcome 3: An
improved transport system
Continue to work towards
better public transport and safer roads in Franklin.
Improving transport is a
major focus for us over the three years of this plan. You have told us many
times that better transport is top of your list as a key outcome for Franklin.
You have stressed the need for electrification of trains between Papakura and
Pukekohe to decrease travel time and avoid changing trains. We have listened
and will continue working with Auckland Transport, KiwiRail, New Zealand
Transport Agency (NZTA) and other stakeholders to represent your views.
We will continue to build
on improvements already made, including the introduction of a new bus network
for Pukekohe and Waiuku, and the ongoing development of an integrated bus and
train station at Pukekohe. We will also work with Auckland Transport on
improvements to the bus service in the Beachlands/Maraetai and Whitford areas.
We agree with you that
more ferry services are needed between Pine Harbour and the Auckland CBD, along
with upgrades to passenger facilities. We will work towards these outcomes by
advocating to Auckland Transport and the ferry service provider.
Local roads are being used by more
people as Franklin and north Waikato grow, and safety continues to be a key
concern. We are encouraged by the work on State Highway 1 to improve traffic
flow and Auckland Transport’s ongoing programme of road safety projects.
Another initiative in Franklin is the “Self-Explaining Rural Roads”
project in the Wairoa area, which is about making roads safer and more
user-friendly for all road users including motorists, pedestrians, cyclists and
residents. This is achieved by designing slower speed environments in
village streets and through measures such as better signage and road markings
on local rural roads.
We want our roads to be
fit-for-purpose for all types of users, including quarry trucks, horticultural
operations moving freight, commuters, and local people moving around our area.
We will advocate to Auckland Transport and NZTA to keep these needs top of
mind.
Opportunities
· Changing the behaviour of road users
to encourage them to work locally or use public transport and carpool when
possible.
· Improvements to public transport
offering more travel options and increasing its appeal.
Challenges
· Increased growth brings more congestion
onto the roads, particularly at peak times.
· Transport infrastructure is expensive
and funding is limited.

Outcome 4: Growth is dealt with
effectively
Make full use of existing outdoor
space and community facilities before developing new.
Franklin is one of the fastest
growing areas of Auckland. Between the 2006 and 2013 census, growth was 12 per
cent compared to eight per cent regionally.
To meet the needs of our growing
communities, we need to make the best use of our existing outdoor areas, sports
centres, swimming pools, and local halls before building new facilities. We
will continue partnering with organisations like schools, churches and
government departments on the best outcomes to meet community needs. This may
include sharing existing halls and sports facilities.
Where new facilities are already
planned, such as the Waiuku Sports Park, we will continue to work closely with
all parties involved. We will also explore implementing a local targeted rate
where communities have told us they want to fund things themselves.
Protecting our fertile soils used for
local horticulture and agriculture is a key priority in the Pukekohe Area Plan,
carried through to rules in the Auckland Unitary Plan. With careful planning,
urban sprawl will be contained, growth will take place around local and town
centres, and productive soils will be protected.
Where growth is underway, you have
told us that you want to be involved in shaping the look and feel of your area.
With this in mind, we will advocate for growth areas to have action-focused
plans, making sure that community input is an important part of the process.
With growth comes increasing demand
for services such as drinking water, wastewater, transport systems and central
government services like healthcare and education. While we cannot put this in
place ourselves, we can work with other key agencies such as Watercare,
Auckland Transport, the Ministry of Education, and the local district health
board. If we all work together taking into account what you want, we can
achieve great outcomes.
Opportunities
· Partnering with other local boards
and government agencies to make the best use of facilities.
· Existing strategies and plans,
including the Pukekohe Area Plan, provide a foundation to deal with growth.
· Plan for growth early in the process
to get good outcomes for the community.
Challenges
· Growth is already running above
previous high projections, making it difficult for infrastructure to keep pace
with high growth levels and to retrospectively plan for growth in some areas.
· There is a limited amount of funding
to support growth so needs must be prioritised and met over time.
|
Outcome 4: Growth is dealt with

|
Te Whakaotinga 5: Te hua he whaimana
me te tūhono o ngā hapori ki tō rātou rohe
Outcome 5: Communities feel ownership
and connection to their area
Support community participation in
helping to shape people’s quality of life, creativity, health and
well-being.
We want our communities to be
actively involved in shaping and developing their areas and planning to make
them better and safer. We have community organisations and volunteers already
doing great work, and we will build on this to support more community
involvement.
We have significantly fewer people
aged 15-35 and more in their 60s and 70s living in Franklin compared to the
rest of Auckland. Twenty-three per cent of our residents identify with
Māori, Asian, Pacific or other ethnic groups. Our challenge is to ensure
this diversity is considered in the delivery of our services and activities.
To help meet your needs, we will
support events that celebrate the identity of Franklin and bring the whole
community together. We will also focus on making our halls and parks accessible
and usable for all ages and abilities. We will include local heritage groups in
our planning to ensure the cultural heritage of our area is carried forward for
future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
You have told us how important it is
to have a vibrant local art scene. We have listened and provided an arts broker
to support a programme of community arts activities across Franklin. We will
continue this support and look for new ways to work with you on arts
initiatives.
Opportunities
· Our communities can do more for
themselves.
· We have a strong volunteer base and
can strengthen their contribution by bringing them together and supporting
them.
· There is capacity for more
partnership developments with community groups and businesses.
Challenges
· Some of our processes can be onerous
and off-putting for community groups wanting to carry out projects.
· Getting new people involved in community
groups so they continue to operate into the future.
· Our numerous small communities have
different approaches and needs, challenging us to ensure we clearly understand
them and get things right.

Carrying out our plan
·
To
deliver against the outcomes of our plan we will:
· prioritise our budget to
focus on the initiatives in the plan
· make the best use of our
assets such as our community centres and parks
· set direction for council
staff who are responsible for delivering our annual work programme
· work with others,
including community organisations and partners, to deliver projects and
services
· represent your views on
matters of local importance.
In some instances, our
role is limited to representing your views on matters of local importance
because we do not have the decision-making authority and/or funding to carry it
out. When this is the case, we will use our time and energy to influence the
relevant decision-maker. We do this by advocating on your behalf or making
formal submissions, ensuring decision-makers are aware of your views and our
support for them.
Budget information can be
found on page 21.
Empowering communities
We seek to empower and
enable our communities. This means listening to what you want to achieve,
directing council resources towards community aspirations, and supporting
diverse communities to have an input into the things they care about and which
matter uniquely to them.
We will prioritise
activities led by the community, encourage and support people from all walks of
life to actively participate in their community, and fully use their diverse
talents, insights and contributions. We will work with others to enable our
communities to achieve their goals.
Working with Māori
Delivering on Auckland
Council’s commitment to Māori at a local level is a priority for
local boards. The council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te
Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its broader statutory obligations
to Māori.
He kōrero take
pūtea
Funding information
The purpose of this section is to
provide information on local board funding.
How local boards are funded
Funding is allocated to local boards
through the council’s budget setting process. This involves the
council’s Governing Body adopting a 10-year budget every three years and
an annual budget every year. Local board agreements, briefly described in page
seven, make up part of the annual budget.
A financial overview for the Franklin
Local Board for the 2017/18 financial year is included in Appendix 1.
The council’s budget setting
process involves allocating funding gathered through revenue sources such as rates
and user charges. It also involves setting levels of service for council
activities and corresponding performance targets.
Details on levels of service for
local activities are included in Appendix 2.
Auckland Council’s 2018-2028
10-year budget
In June 2018, the council’s
Governing Body will adopt the 2018-2028 10-year budget informed by local board
plans. The 10-year budget will need to consider all funding needs for Auckland
and balance these with the need to keep rates and other council charges affordable.
This balancing act may impact local boards’ ability to carry out all the
key initiatives in their local board plans.
Auckland Transport’s Local
Board Transport Capital Fund
Local boards can also access funding
from Auckland Transport’s Local Board Transport Capital Fund which is
allocated to deliver small transport related projects.
The fund allocated to the Franklin
Local Board for the 2017/18 financial year was $471,158.
How local boards spend their budget
Much of the budget available to local
boards is required to keep our services going and maintain our local assets
including parks, community centres, libraries and halls.
Local boards also have additional,
discretionary funding they can spend on local projects or programmes that are
important to their communities.
More information about local board
budgets can be found in Auckland Council’s Local Board Funding Policy on
the council website.
The council is currently looking at
ways to provide local boards with more flexibility over their budgets.
