7. The local board considered the Arts, Community and Events draft work programme at a workshop with staff on Thursday, 6 April 2017. Staff incorporated the local board’s feedback into the work programme. Staff attended a further workshop on Thursday, 11 May 2017 to further define the programme for the Ōrākei Community Centre.
8. In the work programme, ID 444, staff recommended as follows:

9. Between the workshops on 6 April and 11 May 2017, and adoption of the work programme on Thursday, 18 May informal discussions were held with staff, resulting in the Ōrākei Local Board resolving to amend line 444 (OR/2017/104) to:

10. Staff attended a workshop on 27 July 2017 to discuss options and the impact of the amendment on the delivery of the planned work programme, outlined in the table below:
Option One: Reinstate original recommendation |
Option Two: Keep amendment (OR/2017/104) |
Impacts |
Impacts |
· The full work programme will be delivered. · Council invests in centre programming using the ABS budget. The funding ensures programmes, including the below, can be delivered: o The Ōrakēi Community Garden o Sewing Bees for Bags o Ōrakēi Community Centre Market. · The Ōrākei Community Centre will be resourced to: o work with groups to develop and deliver what they have to offer o lead the development and delivery of programmes that respond to a need or gap.
|
· The full work programme will not be delivered if the budget of $10,474 was reallocated to other activities. · Council invests in centre programming using the ABS budget. Without funding it is likely that the following programmes would operate in a limited capacity: o The Ōrakēi Community Garden o Sewing Bees for Bags o Ōrakēi Community Centre Market. · The Ōrākei Community Centre will not be resourced to: o work with groups to develop and deliver what they have to offer o lead the development and delivery of programmes that respond to a need or gap. |

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 refresh provides an opportunity to revisit Auckland’s most challenging issues, to ensure the plan 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 is intended to be more focused and structured around a small number of inter-linked strategic themes that address Auckland’s biggest challenges. The plan is also intended to have a greater focus on the development strategy.
Local Board involvement in the refresh
9. Local board chairs have been invited to all Planning Committee workshops on the Auckland Plan during 2017. Throughout these workshops, chairs (or their representatives) have provided early input into opportunities and challenges for Auckland over the next 30 years and feedback on the proposed strategic framework for the refreshed Auckland Plan. This input was the views of chairs only and does not represent formal local board feedback.
10. At local board cluster briefings in February and April 2017, local board members gave feedback and information which was used to refine the scope of strategic themes and focus areas.
11. A report on the Auckland Plan Refresh was considered at local board business meetings in June and July. Local boards were invited to consider their formal position on the themes and focus areas and provide further feedback.
12. Local board cluster briefings were also held in April and July on the Development Strategy which is a core component of Auckland Plan.
13. Resolutions and feedback from local boards over June and July informed the further development of a draft strategic framework. This was approved in principle by the Planning Committee on 1 August. A summary of the feedback from local boards accompanied this report to the Planning Committee.
14. A further update on the Auckland Plan refresh was sent by memo to local boards on 16 August 2017. This memo highlighted next steps, in particular that there would be further engagement with local boards in September 2017.
15. Local boards are scheduled to hold workshops during September 2017 to review the Auckland Plan package of materials, including content across the six outcome areas and the Development Strategy. This report seeks formal feedback on this content which will be considered as part of the proposed Auckland Plan.
16. Further Planning Committee meetings will be held in October and November to finalise draft content for the proposed Auckland Plan prior to full public consultation in early 2018.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
17. Local board feedback on the package of engagement material is being sought in this report.
18. 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.
Māori impact statement
19. 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.
20. Staff from the Independent Māori Statutory Board (IMSB) provided guidance on the strategic themes of the plan. The IMSB’s Māori Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau was a guiding document underpinning the development of the strategic themes and focus areas.
21. The strategic themes acknowledge and celebrate Māori culture as Auckland’s point of difference, and Māori as Treaty partners in Auckland.
22. Māori Identity and Wellbeing is one of the six outcomes of the plan. The outcome describes the application of Te ao Māori values to the region, acknowledges the unique role of mana whenua as kaitiaki of Tāmaki Makaurau and acknowledges the foundational role of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
23. Engagement with mana whenua, mataawaka, and relevant Māori community groups has been undertaken to develop the draft plan.
Implementation
24. Feedback from the local boards will be summarised and provided to the Planning Committee for consideration in the drafting of the refreshed Auckland Plan.

Road Name Approval for a New Road at 36 Mainston Road, Remuera
File No.: CP2017/18322
Purpose
1. The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Ōrākei Local Board to name a new private road within a new subdivision development off Mainston Road, Remuera.
Executive summary
2. The Ōrākei Local Board Road Naming Policy and Guidelines require that new roads serving more than five sites must have a road name. This also applies to private roads, jointly owned access lots (common access ways) and rights of way.
3. The applicant and developer of the site at 36 Mainston Road, Remuera, wishes to name the new road (a jointly owned access lot) within this 10-lot residential subdivision development as ‘Nick Garden Place’ and has also provided the two alternative road names; ‘Nina Garden Place’ and ‘Anna Garden Place’, after his daughters.
4. As a result of iwi consultation, Ngaati Tamaoho also suggested 2 road name options appropriate for use in this location; ‘Tohikuri Place’ and ‘Te Whare Aitu Place’.
5. All of the proposed names are technically suitable for use, having been checked for duplication by LINZ and NZ Post and authorised for use in this location. However, the applicant’s three proposed names refer to living people, which is not encouraged by the road naming guidelines.
That the Ōrākei Local Board: a) approve the new road name ‘Tohikuri Place’ suggested by Ngaati Tamaoho, under section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, for the jointly owned access lot created by way of subdivision at 36 Mainston Road, Remuera. Council reference. |
Comments
6. Resource consent details: The applicant and developer is Nick Ni of Unite Investment and Management Limited, the site address is 36 Mainston Road, Remuera, and the associated approved resource consent references are R/LUC/2014/3891, R/JSL/2016/910, and R/VCC/2016/910/1 for 9 new residential dwellings and an associated 10-lot subdivision around the dwellings, with Lot 10 being a jointly owned access lot containing the subject new road to be named.
7. Site details: A location map and site plan are attached showing the new private road to be named and the development it serves, which is a rear site set back from the cul-de-sac of Mainston Road, adjacent to College Rifles Park. The new private road will be accessed from the cul-de-sac end of Mainston Road, with no thoroughfare beyond this point.
8. Names: The applicant has suggested three potential road names and Ngaati Tamaoho also suggested two names. The applicant would be happy with any of these road names. The proposed suffix ‘place’ is appropriate for this road type.
9. Assessment of names: All of the proposed names are technically suitable for use, having been checked for duplication by LINZ and NZ Post and authorised for use in this location. However, the applicant’s three proposed names refer to living people, which is not encouraged by the road naming guidelines.
10. The proposed road names are outlined in the table below:
Proposed Name (Proposed by) |
Meaning |
Status |
Tohikuri Place (Iwi)
|
Hereditary Tamaoho Rangatira who was an advisor to the 3rd maaori king Mahuta, Taawhiao, Pootatau Te Wherowhero
|
Acceptable – suggested by Ngaati Tamaoho, checked by LINZ and NZ Post |
Te Whare Aitu Place (Iwi)
|
Tamaoho Rangatira who lead Ngaati Tamaoho in the inter hapuu & tribal battles of ancient times
|
Acceptable – suggested by Ngaati Tamaoho, checked by LINZ and NZ Post, although 3 word names less desirable |
Nick Garden Place (Applicant)
|
The applicant’s name is Nick and his ambition is to develop this site into a garden-like area with no intention to sell the site and maintain the area for this family to enjoy. This will allow for the site to have meaning for both the applicant and his family for future generations. The alternative names Nina and Anna are the names of Nick’s daughters.
|
Technically acceptable - checked by LINZ and NZ Post, but refer to living people, which is not encouraged by the road naming guidelines
|
Nina Garden Place (Applicant) |
||
Anna Garden Place (Applicant)
|
11. Community consultation: The applicant’s agent approached Remuera Business Association, Remuera Residents Association and the Remuera Heritage Society for consultation purposes within an acceptable timeframe but received no comments or feedback on the proposed names.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
12. The Auckland Council, by way of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (2012 - 2022), allocated the responsibility for the naming of new roads, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, to the Local Boards.
13. The decision sought from the Ōrākei Local Board for this report is not considered to have any legal or legislative implications.
14. The decision sought from the Ōrākei Local Board for this report does not trigger the Significance policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the community.
Māori impact statement
15. The decision sought from the Ōrākei Local Board on this report is linked to the Auckland Plan Outcome, “A Māori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world”. The use of Māori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Māori identity.
16. The applicant contacted all relevant local iwi regarding the proposed names. Ngaati Tamaoho provided the names listed above. No other iwi provided additional comments.
17. ‘Epiha Putini Place’ was a third name option suggested by Ngaati Tamaoho, however, this name was not acceptable as there is a ‘Putini Road’ in Mangere Bridge 8 kms away. (Meaning: Tamaoho Rangatira who became a minister of the Wesleyan Church in the early 1800s).
Implementation
18. The cost of processing the approval of the proposed new road name is recoverable in accordance with Council’s Administrative Charges.
19. The applicant has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed accordingly once an approval is obtained for the new road name.

Remuneration Authority consultation document
File No.: CP2017/16970
Purpose
1. To provide comments on the Remuneration Authority’s Consultation Document “Local Government Review” by 15 December 2017.
Executive summary
2. The Remuneration Authority is consulting local authorities on proposals in its consultation document “Local Government Review”. Feedback is due by Friday 15 December 2017. The Remuneration Authority wants to discuss the proposals with Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) zone meetings.
3. The Authority has noted that they are seeking the views of councils, not individual elected members or staff. All local boards are being provided the opportunity to respond as is the governing body.
4. The Authority proposes the following long-term changes to the way in which remuneration is decided:
(i) each council is sized according to proposed factors such as population
(ii) a remuneration pool for the council is determined based on the size
(iii) the mayor’s salary is determined by the Authority
(iv) the council then proposes how to allocate the total pool (after the mayor’s salary is deducted) among elected members to recognise positions of responsibility
(v) there is relativity between mayors and MPs, with the Auckland mayor being paid no more than a cabinet minister.
5. The consultation document sets out the proposals and asks for feedback in regard to specific questions.
6. The proposals do not impact on expenses policies or meeting fees for resource management hearings.
8. The proposal to provide each council with a remuneration pool gives councils more flexibility to recognise varying responsibilities among members, but it puts elected members in the position of making decisions about their own salaries.
9. The consultation document does not discuss local boards. In other councils, community board salaries would be funded from the council pool, unless they were funded by a targeted rate. Local boards are very different from community boards and local boards should make their comments in the context of their role and responsibilities within Auckland Council. Local boards may wish to comment on how, if the remuneration pool concept proceeds, the remuneration of local boards should be decided.
That the Ōrākei Local Board: a) provide its comments on the Remuneration Authority’s Consultation Document Local Government Review. |
Comments
Introduction
10. The Remuneration Authority has circulated a discussion document with a request for comments by 15 December 2017. This is appended in Attachment A. The Authority states that a separate consultation document will be circulated for Auckland Council but that the principles in the current document will apply to Auckland Council.
11. The Authority has noted that they are seeking the views of councils, not individual elected members or staff. All local boards are being provided the opportunity to respond as is the governing body.
12. Currently, the key aspects for setting remuneration for councils other than Auckland are:
(i) a size index for each council based on population and expenditure
(ii) job-sizing council positions in sample councils
(iii) assessing the portion of full-time work
(iv) the Authority’s pay scale
(v) a pool equivalent to one member’s salary for recognising additional positions of responsibility
(vi) a loading of 12.5% for unitary councils
(vii) hourly rates for resource consent hearings.
13. The report summarises the content of each section of the discussion document and quotes the questions. Comments from staff highlight issues the local board might wish to consider. The document is in Attachment A and provides the full details of the proposals.
Council size
14. The discussion document defines council size as “the accumulated demands on any council resulting from its accountability for its unique mix of functions, obligations, assets and citizenry”. It proposes a number of measures on which to base council size such as:
(i) population
(ii) operational expenditure
(iii) asset size
(iv) social deprivation
(v) guest nights.
15. For regional councils, social deprivation would not be used to assess size, but land area would be.
16. For unitary councils, land area would be added to all other factors in order to recognise regional responsibilities. The previous 12.5% loading would not apply.
17. Detailed explanations about why these factors were chosen are in the discussion document.
18. Remuneration Authority questions on sizing factors:
With regard to the proposed factors to be used for sizing councils
· Are there significant influences on council size that are not recognised by the factors identified?
· Are there any factors that we have identified that you believe should not be used and why?
· When measuring council assets, do you support the inclusion of all council assets, including those commercial companies that are operated by boards?
· If not, how should the Authority distinguish between different classes of assets?
19. Comments:
(i) It is noted that prior to 2013, the Authority took population growth into account. The councils experiencing higher growth might be expected to be faced with more complex issues to resolve than councils with stagnant growth.
(ii) In a review conducted in 2012, the Authority stated:
The adjustment for ‘abnormal population growth’ has been discontinued, because it is felt that such growth will be reflected in a council’s expenses
Weighting
20. The discussion document proposes weighting the factors slightly differently for different types of council.
Territorial authorities:
Population, operational expenditure
Assets
Deprivation index, visitor nights
Regional councils:
Operational expenditure, geographic size
Assets, population
Visitor nights
Unitary authorities:
Population, operational expenditure, geographic size
Assets
Deprivation index; visitor nights
21. Remuneration Authority questions on weighting:
· Are you aware of evidence that would support or challenge the relativity of the factors for each type of council?
· If you believe other factors should be taken into account, where would they sit relative to others?
22. Comments:
(i) Staff do not see any issues with this proposal.
Mayoral remuneration
23. Mayors are considered to be full-time positions. The discussion document states that a base rate would be determined and additional amounts would be based on the size of the council as assessed above. The Remuneration Authority would set the mayor’s salary.
24. Remuneration Authority questions on Mayoral remuneration:
· Should mayor/chair roles should be treated as full time?
· If not, how should they be treated?
· Should there be a “base” remuneration level for all mayors/chairs, with additional remuneration added according to the size of the council?
· If so, what should determine this “base remuneration”?
25. Comments:
(i) For Auckland Council, the roles of the mayor, councillors and local board chairs have all been treated as full-time. There has been no diminution in role responsibilities since that was determined. There is no rationale for change.
Councillor remuneration
26. A total remuneration pool would be set for each council and each council would decide how to distribute the pool among elected members (after the mayoral salary has been deducted). A 75% majority vote would be required. The Remuneration Authority would receive each council’s decisions and would then make formal determinations.
27. The pool could be used to recognise additional workload arising from appointments to external bodies.
28. Remuneration Authority questions on councillor remuneration:
· Should councillor remuneration be decided by each council within the parameters of a governance/representation pool allocated to each council by the Remuneration Authority?
· If so, should each additional position of responsibility, above a base councillor role, require a formal role description?
· Should each council be required to gain a 75% majority vote to determine the allocation of remuneration across all its positions?
29. Comments:
(i) Setting a remuneration pool for an entity with the entity then responsible for deciding how it is allocated among members, is a valid remuneration practice.
(ii) One issue to consider relating to the pool proposal is that the size of the pool, once determined, is fixed. If a pool is determined for each local board, then if the number of members on a board is increased or decreased, say by a review of representation arrangements, the amount that each member is paid will decrease or increase accordingly. This issue is acknowledged in paragraphs 102 and 103 of the discussion document.
(iii) In view of this, the local board might wish to consider its view on the assumption that the governance responsibility can be represented by a fixed pool.
(iv) A further issue to consider is that elected members would need to debate how to allocate the pool. The Remuneration Authority currently fully sets Auckland Council’s elected member remuneration. Council has not had to debate how remuneration might be apportioned among governing body and local board members. This would be a major change.
(v) Staff do not see any issues with the proposals for role descriptions and a 75% majority vote.
External representation roles
30. The Authority notes that elected members are increasingly being appointed to represent councils on various outside committees and bodies.
31. Remuneration Authority questions on external representation roles:
· Should external representation roles be able to be remunerated in a similar way to council positions of responsibility?
32. Comments:
(i) There are many bodies such as trusts and co-governance entities to which Auckland Council elected members are appointed. These appointments are currently treated as part of the role of being an elected member.
(ii) If the pool proposal allows councils to recognise additional responsibilities (or workload) attached to representation on external organisations, an issue to consider is whether such recognition of additional workload might then extend to internal committee membership, including the number of committees a member is part of. The issue is how granular the recognition of responsibilities should be.
Appointments to CCOs
33. The Authority notes that some councils make appointments of elected members to CCOs.
34. Remuneration Authority questions on appointments to CCOs:
· Do the additional demands placed on CCO board members make it fair for elected members appointed to such boards to receive the same director fees as are paid to other CCO board members?
35. Comments:
(i) Auckland Council cannot legally appoint elected members to substantive CCOs, other than Auckland Transport.
(ii) In the current term, Auckland Council has not appointed elected members to Auckland Transport, but in previous terms the two appointees received directors’ fees.
Community boards
36. The discussion document includes proposals and questions regarding community boards. Auckland Council does not have community boards and we recommend this is clearly stated in any local board response.
37. Community board salaries would either come from the council pool or be separately funded by way of a targeted rate.
38. Remuneration Authority questions on community boards:
· Should community board remuneration always come out of the council governance/representation pool?
· If not, should it be funded by way of targeted rate on the community concerned?
· If not, what other transparent and fair mechanisms are there for funding the remuneration of community board members?
Local Boards
39. The discussion document does not mention local boards.
40. Most local boards are larger or similar in size to other councils in New Zealand.
41. Local boards have decision-making and governance responsibilities over $500million per annum
Comments:
Local boards should comment
(i) On the merits or otherwise of a bulk funding approach
(ii) If the Remuneration Authority does decide on a bulk funding approach
a. Should the governing body determine remuneration for each local board or
b. Should the Remuneration Authority determine separate bulk funding for the governing body and each local board.
Local government pay scale
42. The discussion document discusses how the role of elected members might compare to other roles and other entities for the purposes of setting a pay scale. It considers local government managers, central government managers and boards of directors. These are not elected member roles.
43. The document then considers parliamentary elected member salaries for comparison.
44. Remuneration Authority questions on local government pay scale:
· Is it appropriate for local government remuneration to be related to parliamentary remuneration, but taking account of differences in job sizes?
· If so, should that the relativity be capped so the incumbent in the biggest role in local government cannot receive more than a cabinet minister?
· If not, how should a local government pay scale be determined?
45. Comments:
(i) The Authority suggests in the document that mayor/chair salaries are related to MPs. The question refers to the “biggest role in local government” which would be the Auckland mayor. By setting the salary of the Auckland mayor to that of a cabinet minister, other mayors would be scaled accordingly.
Timetable
46. A determination setting councils’ remuneration pools will be made around 1 July in each election year. Following the elections, each council is to resolve its remuneration policy on the allocation of the pool for the triennium. In the years between elections, adjustments will be made based on published “Labour Market Statistics”.
Conclusion
47. These proposals constitute a major change for Auckland Council. From its inception, the salaries of Auckland Council elected members have been fully determined by the Remuneration Authority.
48. The remuneration pool proposal provides councils with more flexibility to recognise varying responsibilities among members, but this puts elected members in the position of making decisions about their own salaries.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
49. This report seeks the local boards’ views on the proposals contained in the Remuneration Authority’s discussion document. Local board views will be reported individually to the Remuneration Authority.
Māori impact statement
50. The level at which elected members are remunerated does not impact differently on Māori as compared with the wider community.
Implementation
51. Feedback from the local board will be communicated to the Remuneration Authority.

Public alerting framework for Auckland
File No.: CP2017/12981
Purpose
1. To provide information on the Public Alerting Framework for Auckland. The report also provides the results of an analysis carried out by GNS Science, identifying communities at risk from tsunami across Auckland.
2. In addition, the report also seeks in-principle support for the proposed enhancement of Auckland’s tsunami siren network.
Executive summary
3. In February 2017, the Auckland Civil Defence and Emergency Management (CDEM) Group Committee endorsed the draft Public Alerting Framework for Auckland.
4. Following on from this, crown research agency, GNS Science was commissioned to provide an analysis of those communities most at risk from tsunami within the orange and red tsunami evacuation zones.
5. The GNS report and the Public Alerting Framework was presented to local boards in workshop sessions. Auckland Emergency Management is asking local boards for in principle support for the Public Alerting Framework and for an enhanced tsunami siren network.
6. Next steps involve procurement and design of tsunami siren and signage. Further information will be presented to local boards in due course.
That the Ōrākei Local Board: a) note the approach to public alerting as outlined in the Public Alerting Framework for Auckland (Attachment A). b) provide in-principle support for the development of an enhanced and expanded regional tsunami siren network, noting that further information on design, placement and other considerations for the network will be reported in due course. |
Comments
Tsunami risk for Auckland
7. A tsunami is a natural phenomenon consisting of a series of waves generated when a large volume of water in the sea, or in a lake, is rapidly displaced[1]. Tsunami threats pose a risk to New Zealand and to Auckland. Occurrence rates of tsunami are higher in the Pacific than for other oceans because of the "Ring of Fire".[2] Tsunami waves are most commonly caused by underwater earthquakes. In addition, these events have the potential to cause multiple other hazards including but not limited to; fire, fault line ruptures, coastal inundation, landslides, lifeline utility failures and serious health issues.[3] The Tonga-Kermadec trench is one of the Earth’s deepest trenches, and is Auckland’s highest risk for tsunami. Auckland is susceptible to regional and distant source tsunami, that is, tsunami generated from earthquakes in and around the Pacific Rim with travel time more than 1 hour as well as locally generated tsunami. Tsunami can be categorised as local, regional or distant based on their travel time or distance to the Auckland coastline.
· Local source – less than 1 hour travel time. These tsunamis can be generated by offshore faults, underwater landslide or volcanic activity.
· Regional source – Earthquakes in and around the Pacific Islands and the Tonga-Kermadec Trench 1 to 3 hours travel time to Auckland
· Distant source – Commonly generated by a large earthquake from any location around the Pacific Rim including but not limited to South America, Japan, the Aleutian Islands and Alaska. The travel time to Auckland will be 3 hours or greater. [4]

Tsunami sirens
5. Currently, Auckland has 44 fixed tsunami warning sirens across nine sites in legacy Rodney and Waitakere. These sirens were installed in 2008 and 2010 and do not meet current government technical standards[5] for tsunami warning sirens. All new and existing siren installations will need to meet these standards by June 2020.
6. Auckland Emergency Management is currently investigating the upgrading of its existing siren network from ‘tone-only’ sirens to those with PA/voiceover loudspeaker capability. The sirens have a strong immediate effect and can prompt immediate action to seek further information. There are valuable benefits in using tsunami sirens, in particular, sirens can be used when other communications (e.g. cell phones and radio broadcasting) may not have the maximum reach or be as effective. It is commonly accepted across the emergency management sector that effective public alerting systems are those that take a holistic view. This being said, public alerting needs to be well planned, understood, and in conjunction with effective public education information and campaigns. This is imperative for a regionally consistent approach to public alerting that communities can use and understand.
7. The limited locations of the present tsunami siren systems have been identified as a gap in the public alerting capabilities of Auckland region. Presently, Auckland is not well represented by tsunami sirens with the estimated reach of Auckland’s current sirens being only eight per cent of the ‘at-risk’ population. Auckland’s tsunami siren network is currently being considered for enhancement and expansion through the delivery of the Public Alerting Framework
Public Alerting Framework
8. Auckland Council has recognised the need for a regionally consistent approach to public alerting through the adoption of the Public Alerting Framework. The Framework, which was approved for consultation with local boards in February 2017, has been designed to:
· explain what public alerting in a CDEM sense is, what it can and cannot do;
· give detail on the range of channels for public alerting currently available in Auckland;
· highlight the advances being taken with regards to public alerting at a national level;
· provide some commentary on tsunami sirens, their uses and limitations; and
· assist with decisions taken by the Auckland CDEM Group Committee, local boards and partners and stakeholders with regards to the prioritisation of budgets and options for enhancing public alerting across the Auckland region.
9. Auckland Council recognises the need to enhance the public alerting network, and as such, has allocated funds from the Long-Term Plan for this venture. This funding provides a starting point for consultation on the future of Auckland’s tsunami siren network and the enhancement of public alerting.
10. It is important to understand that no one public alerting system is without fault. The Public Alerting Framework focusses on the use of multi-platforms, understanding that a holistic approach is one that maximises the reach of public alerting in an emergency or hazard event. Through this project, prioritised public education is critical. Without effective public education and engagement activities, sirens alone are not considered a standalone approach to public alerting.
GNS Science report
Introduction and methodology
11. Following the endorsement of the Public Alerting Framework, crown research agency GNS Science was contracted to complete an independent analysis (see Appendix B) of those communities most at-risk of tsunami.
12. A GIS based analysis was used to calculate the number of exposed residents in communities. The analysis used 2013 census population data to identify the number of residents located in the red and orange tsunami evacuation zones. (see Figure 2.) For further detail on the evacuation zones and the methodology please see Appendix B.
Figure 2. Auckland red and orange tsunami evacuation zones as used in the GNS Science analysis
Results
13. The results of the analysis carried out by GNS Science identified 217 communities at-risk from tsunami. For all 217 communities modelled, there are a total of 49,853 people at-risk from tsunami in the orange and red evacuation zones. For detailed information on the results of this analysis including detail on those communities at risk of tsunami please refer to the report from GNS Science at Appendix B.
Next steps
14. Workshops have been held with local boards across the region in order to share the results of the GNS Science report and the intention to implement an enhanced and expanded regional tsunami siren network. This report seeks in-principle support for this enhanced and expanded network. More information on design, placement and other considerations for the network will be reported in due course.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
15. Workshops on tsunami risk were held with local boards in 2016. Following the development of the Public Alerting Framework further information on tsunami risk, including the results of the GNS Science report, were shared with local boards between July and October 2017. Local boards were told that in-principle support for the enhanced and expanded tsunami siren network would be sought at formal business meetings of local boards.
16. As key decision makers representing local communities, local board input into this important project will continue.
Māori impact statement
17. There are no particular impacts on Māori communities which are different from the general population arising from this report. The Public Alerting Framework for Auckland notes the importance of community resilience, of reaching all members of the community and of having systems in place to ensure that public alert messages are understood and ubiquitous.

Governance Framework Review
At the 17 August 2017 business meeting the Board resolved its feedback on the Governance Framework Review. Since that meeting staff have prepared an additional option (outlined in the attached discussion document) with respect to the Funding and Finance workstream following feedback from local boards and the political working party.
The Board’s feedback on the Funding and Finance workstream at the August meeting was as follows:
The Board supports an enhanced status quo which is funded by the general rate and provides local boards some additional flexibility for moving funding within an activity.
I have attached the latest discussion document provided to the political working party so the Board can be updated on developments and to provide the Board the opportunity to review its feedback on the Funding and Finance workstream now that further information is available. The governing body will be considering the final report on the Governance Framework Review at its 28 September 2017 business meeting.

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
2. I met with Ian Smallburn, General Manager Resource Consents and Mark White, Manager Central Resource Consenting to impress upon them the need for processing planners to uphold standards under the unitary plan as needing to be met and not exceeded by applicants. With upcoming eradication of notification for many residential applications, the days of applicants treating plans as guidelines to be usurped must be ended. Processing planners hold a crucial position for the interests of a now excommunicated community interest.
Proposed plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan
3. There are proposed plan changes to the Auckland Unitary Plan going to Planning Committee this week for approval.
4. Since sending the memo, the Unitary Plan have received a number of enquiries from local board members seeking to see the proposed changes or identify them by local board areas. The planners working on the proposed plan change have provided the following response:
5. The Plan Change process requires staff to identify changes by provisions and chapters in the Unitary Plan.
6. Where the plan changes are general, and not restricted to a specific area, impacts on local board areas have not been identified.
7. For those wishing to look at further detail, the Plan Change information can be found on the agenda of the 5 September 2017 Planning Committee Meeting (item 14, page 359):
8. There is a ‘how to guide’ in Attachment A to the agenda report, to assist with the material (page 367). You will find the list of attachments in this document to help you navigate through the material.
9. The proposed changes in the administrative plan change is sorted by the chapters and sub-sections of the Auckland Unitary Plan. All proposed changes are contained in Attachments E-N to the agenda report.
http://infocouncil.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/Open/2017/09/PLA_20170905_ATT_6725_EXCLUDED_WEB.htm
10. There is a table of contents at the front of Attachments E-H. If you are looking for a particular change within a geographic area, search by Central, City Centre, North, West and South.
11. Changes to precincts (Chapter I) are kept within their sub-geographic area headings i.e. Auckland-wide, Central, City Centre, North, West, South as structured in the Auckland Unitary Plan. A similar structure has been used for setting out spatial changes in the viewer and recently vested land zone changes.
12. Attachments 37-40 shows proposed zoning changes to recently vested land. These attachments are identified by geographic areas – North (Attachment 37), Central (Attachment 38), and so forth.
Snapshot of Planning and Regulatory Matters
13. Some examples of regulatory files dealt with over the last few weeks include:
93-97 Green Lane East
14. Liaised with planning staff regarding proposed extension of car wash hours and suggested limited notification to Hospital and neighbours.
345 Tāmaki Drive
15. Met applicant for encroachment licence and suggested licence be granted by AT to improve existing unusable public reserve space adjacent to this development.
5 Arron Street, Ellerslie
16. Suggesting notification, the applicant has been asked to provide further information regarding this 8 unit development on a parcel with existing character home to be removed.
163-165 Ellerslie Main Highway
17. In this instance, I concurred with the assessment of adverse effects on people and believe the extent of visual change to the building seems likely to be designed in a way to give the best chance to retain the character existing today. The expansion of the building to accommodate more child clientele in an existing use situation also likely reflects growth demands in the area. Because of this and the site location I believe it would be appropriate for the applicant to seek the input or consent of neighbouring property - but I can find inadequate grounds justifying public notification on this occasion
36 Mainston Road, Remuera
18. I met locals and site visited to check infringements by the developer. Staff are monitoring for abatement or enforcement purposes. The developer appears to be off side with the locals through disregard for their access needs and other issues.
246-254 Kepa Road
19. Consent has been granted for multi-story developments along this stretch.
228 Ōrākei Road
20. As Board members know I have been following up with staff regarding the buildings at 228 Ōrākei Rd, Remuera following a query from a local resident.
21. As a result of my enquiries staff have obtained initial evaluation procedure reports, prepared by Tonkin and Taylor, and have undertaken a survey of the building. As a result staff are requesting an engineering assessment of the buildings in accordance with the EPB Methodology set by the Chief Executive of MBIE under the Building Act.
22. Under the provisions of the Act the engineering assessment report is required to be provided to Council within 12 months of the date of the request.
Other Activities

Board Member Report - Carmel Claridge
File No.: CP2017/19814
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. b) That the Board seek assurance that our position as governors in local matters will, in future, be recognised properly by Auckland Transport and written feedback sought with a stated deadline. |

Transport:
Tāmaki Drive Shared Pathway Consultation
The change to the original decision by Auckland Transport (AT) senior management to re-consult on the design of the project means that the Ōrākei Local Board is unable to provide input. This is an important piece of infrastructure in our Local Board area. Despite informal verbal feedback being given by Board members on the original design at AT presentations, Board feedback was not recorded or considered in Auckland Transport’s analysis. The Board’s formal written feedback was not sought. I also note that the Governing Body’s statement of intent for Auckland Transport requires Auckland Transport to provide local boards with timely and relevant reporting and information and I consider that this requirement was not met on this occasion.
I recommend that the Board seeks assurance that our position as governors in local matters will, in future, be recognised properly by Auckland Transport and written feedback sought with a stated deadline - particularly in respect to the consultation of the related project linking to this body of work - the Glen-Innes – Tāmaki Shared Pathway.

St Heliers Village Association Meeting
The Association hosted a networking breakfast for the businesses of St Heliers. The invited guest speaker was Simon O’Connor, MP for Tamaki who spoke and answered questions. Breakfast was held at Annabelle’s Restaurant, of St Heliers. Thank you to Sang from Annabelle’s and the St Heliers Village Association for an excellent networking opportunity for those who attended.
There is a delay in installing the four new security cameras in St Heliers but they will be in by Christmas.
The new website has been well received and has 10,000 page views to date.
The Association will have their annual accountability agreement signed this month which is a requirement of the Business Improvement Districts (BID) programme.
Continuing discussion for the beautification of the Village especially outside the Library.
There is on-going concern that the footpaths in the BID area of St Heliers are not being cleaned. A request has gone into Auckland Transport asking for clarification as to how often the footpaths are cleaned and also to request the cost of a footpath clean.
There have been several complaints regarding weeds growing out of the wall along the Beachfront at St Heliers. Auckland Council’s Parks, Sports and Recreation Department has since been advised of this and have undertaken to have the weeds removed shortly. The beach is being groomed once a month during winter months and after October it will be done fortnightly.
The Association has sponsored music in St Heliers once a month on Saturday from 11am to 2pm. This has been very well received by customers visiting St Heliers. The plan forward is to also include choirs from local schools.
Ellerslie Business Association Meeting
One of the Associations biggest events for the year the Fairy Festival is happening in September, starting with the Fairy Parade on Sunday, 10 September. Lots of things happening in Ellerslie for the month. Well worth a visit.
There are a few outstanding requests through Auckland Transport:
1. Drain covers which have been used to cover vehicle access drains do not seem to be fit for purpose as have cracked and broken. AT have advised that this work will be done by the end of September but in the meantime it is a Health and Safety issue.
2. AT have advised that they will be putting in a pedestrian crossing at the bottom of Ladies Mile near Sierra Café, we have been informed that this will happen this financial year, however the EBA are concerned that work will begin before Christmas when their retail and hospitality are at their busiest.
3. There was a request to Auckland Transport several months ago requesting information regarding the number of buses travelling through the town centre compared with five years ago, this information has not been forth coming and another reminder has been sent.
The Association’s AGM is 16 October 2017.
The Association are waiting for security cameras to be installed in the town centre.
New branding is coming for the Ellerslie Business Association – Watch this space!
Remuera Business Association Meeting
The Manager’s position to be split between a Business Development Manager and an Administration Officer. The administration officer position will be advertised in the Remuera Newsletter and on Neighbourly. It is a 10 hour a week position. The Business Development Manager description is being fine-tuned and will be advertised shortly.
A Strategic Planning meeting took place in Megan Jaffe’s new meeting area. It was an excellent session with some great forward thinking ideas coming from it.
A Steering Group made up of landlords and business owners has been formed to move the Strategic Plan along.
Agreed that the events being held for this next year are Chinese New Year and Bastille Day.
The Association AGM will take place in the latter part of October; date to be advised.
There is still an on-going overstaying parking issue in Clonbern Car Park. Traffic wardens do patrol the car park but many are moving cars around every two hours. A request from the RBA to have a charging station for electric cars and electric bikes in the car park. The request has been put to Auckland Transport and we await their response.
The possibility of more bike racks was discussed and a possible site considered.
There are on-going queries with Auckland Transport:
1. The solution to be found regarding dog poo left on footpaths in the early hours of the morning.
2. The solution to the large puddle which appears after rain at the bus stop near 351 Remuera Road
3. Footpath outside 351 Remuera Rd still needs a permanent fix it has been partially done, the RBA Manager will take this up with AT.
4. How Clonbern Lane will be maintained going forward.
2.
New Businesses Opening in Remuera
· The Porcelain Lounge has opened, and also taken over the old World Traveller’s space as office/storage.

The tree lights are not working at present and the annual maintenance is overdue, OLB to follow up and ascertain what is happening regarding the lights.
There was discussion regarding more bike racks and 3 possible sites were identified.
On-going discussion regarding the photo frame for Mission Bay.
Auckland Transport will revert by mid-September regarding the streetscape and suggestions for greater safety measures.
Derek from the Fish Pot Café has closed the business after 30 years. Derek has made a huge contribution to Mission Bay and to the Mission Bay Business Association and we wish him all the very best for the future.
Signage for both the BBQ and the fitness park was discussed and will be fine-tuned this coming month with a final cut next meeting.
The Association AGM is to be on Tuesday 17 October.
Community
Ōrākei Community Association
The Art/Photo competition is being organized by Jacquie Zelcer a new committee member for the Association.
Jacquie will also take over the social media communication for the Association.
The Kupe Kepa Road Car Park is constantly flooding after rain. AT have once again been contacted. There will be work done by the contractors during the month of September to ascertain if the pipe needs to be replaced or if a man hole will be put in which will allow the drain to be more easily cleaned.
