Otahuhu Community Needs Assessment & Options Analysis Report
File No.: CP2017/21872
Purpose
1. To present the findings of the community needs assessment and options analysis for Ōtāhuhu undertaken to assist Panuku Development Auckland in exploring optimisation opportunities for 10-16 High Street.
Executive summary
2. Optimisation is a cross council portfolio development approach targeting sub-optimal service assets, led by Panuku Development Auckland (“Panuku”). Optimisation seeks to maintain or enhance levels of service to the local community in a reconfigured form, while delivering on strategic outcomes such as housing or urban regeneration without impacting on existing rate assumptions. The aim of the optimisation process is to enable council to progress capital projects with no rate impact because it is funded from the sale and reinvestment of existing assets or from leveraging the value of an asset.
3. Optimisation has been proposed as an alternative funding source for the redevelopment of 10-16 High Street in Ōtāhuhu. To progress feasibility assessment to determine commercial viability, the community service requirements need to be confirmed.
4. Mobius Research and Strategy were engaged to conduct a community needs assessment and options analysis between April 2017 and May 2017 (refer Attachment A) to identify how council can ensure that it is responding to the current and future needs of the community. It also aimed to ensure that the community service offer realises council’s strategy for empowered community delivery, and this is enabled by provision of integrated and fit-for-purpose community facilities. This needs assessment considered community access, services and programmes offered from other council and non-council owned facilities.
5. The assessment included in-depth interviews with key community stakeholders and members of the wider community (including users of, and programme providers at key facilities), desk top research on previous reports, strategic documents and demographics, and site visits.
6. The overall findings from the needs assessment include:
· Continued (and possible greater) provision for youth is supported
· Provision for arts and culture activities can potentially be accommodated in existing facilities, rather than in a dedicated facility
· A number of the Council-owned facilities/sites in Ōtāhuhu currently have capacity
· Non-Council owned facilities in Ōtāhuhu are generally at capacity
· There is an ongoing need for a community centre in Ōtāhuhu
7. The findings from the community needs assessment will inform the optimisation feasibility assessment by Panuku that will be reported back to the board separately.
That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board: a) note the findings of the Ōtāhuhu Community Needs Assessment & Options Analysis (2017). b) endorse Panuku proceeding with the assessment of feasibility for the optimisation of 10-16 High Street Ōtāhuhu, based upon the findings of the needs assessment.

Comments
Background
8. The Ōtāhuhu-Middlemore area has been identified as one of the 10 geographic spatial priority areas for development in the region (known as the Ōtāhuhu -Middlemore Spatial Priority Area). The focus is on the regeneration of the Ōtāhuhu town centre and the Portage route. As a result there is a lot of investment happening in this area including the development of Toia and Ōtāhuhu Station, and the progression of the new town centre bus stops and streetscape upgrades.
9. In 2015 the Ōtāhuhu library at High Street was relocated to Toia. Prior to the relocation two needs assessments were undertaken - the ‘Community Art Space in Ōtāhuhu Scoping Study’ prepared by Terry Klavenes in 2013 and the ‘Otahuhu Arts and Culture Report: Community Needs Assessment and Options Analysis’ prepared by Erica Law and Associates in 2015.
10. The first study recommended re-purposing the former library building at High Street for an arts and culture facility by:
· creating a community hub that links the Ōtāhuhu Town Hall, community centre and the library building
· providing sufficient space to meet community aspirations for exhibition space, workshops and studio spaces that would enable collaborative programming between hub partners.
11. Staff recommended that a deeper level of analysis was required to understand the existing and future needs of the arts and cultural community in Ōtāhuhu. In addition the Community Facilities Network Action Plan (2015) identified the following as a priority action;
‘Investigate future options for the library space considering how this will complement the adjacent Ōtāhuhu community centre. This will be conducted as part of a wider Ōtāhuhu community needs assessment. This also forms a basis for this project want to make sure this is maintained as a priority action.’
12. A further study was commissioned. The second study identified a need for:
· an arts and culture community hub to act as a gathering space for sharing and exchanging
· spaces for youth to engage in arts and cultural activities not provided elsewhere in the community
· community lease space for community and social service groups
· teaching space for classes and training opportunities.
13. Three options were identified to ‘respond to community needs in a way that complements the adjacent Ōtāhuhu Town Hall and Community Centre’(OTHCC). The options were:
i) Ground floor (former library space): extend OTHCC licence to occupy. First floor: continue to lease to community groups.
ii) Ground floor: undertake EOI process to identify suitable groups to manage and provide youth, arts and culture programming. First floor: continue to lease to community groups.
iii) Ground floor: undertake EOI process to identify community leases. First floor: continue to lease to community groups.
14. The local board at their meeting on 21 October 2015, “Noted a preference for Option 2 as it offers a continuity of community lease space in the interim and is a practical way to respond to the need for community space with scope to address programming for arts and culture and also for youth” (Resolution number MO/2015/178).
15. As a result, the current occupants remain on the first floor and Ōtāhuhu Mangere Youth Group (OMYG) have been granted temporary use of the former library area. Some minor works have also been undertaken as an interim measure to ensure the building is safe, secure and compliant to allow for short term use and enable the optimisation work to progress.
16. An optimisation programme was approved by the Finance and Performance Committee in March 2015, to facilitate, enhance and progress the delivery of Council’s strategic objectives. The main objective of the programme is to release latent value from underperforming council property currently in service while delivering on strategic outcomes such as housing and/or urban regeneration.
17. In most cases, council-owned land forms the base platform for service delivery. There is a clear need for a more creative approach to the way service property is utilised, developed and funded. Opportunities include replacing current service assets with a more renewed or upgraded form, via the private sector, co-location, intensification or the closure and release of a site to deliver strategic value. This responds to council economic realities that require it to reduce or slow down capital expenditure and operational outlay and optimise investment decisions. Any optimisation proposal is designed to enable these outcomes with optimal service provision on a cost neutral basis.
18. Any funds generated by optimisation are ring-fenced directly back into the service component of the project itself or into other eligible local board projects.
Utilising optimisation to fund redevelopment in the local board area
19. Optimisation has been proposed as an opportunity to fund the redevelopment of 10-16 High Street, Ōtāhuhu. The optimisation feasibility process is managed by Panuku and a community needs assessment was required to confirm the community service requirements to progress the feasibility studies. A copy of the Ōtāhuhu Community Needs Assessment & Options Analysis Report (2017) is included as Attachment A.
20. This work was designed to provide more in-depth understanding on the earlier needs assessments, acknowledging the context of redevelopment investment occurring in Ōtāhuhu. It seeks to ensure that Council takes into account the current and future needs of the community’s population, and that the community service offer is supported by the provision of integrated and fit-for-purpose community facilities.
Researching community service requirements in Ōtāhuhu
21. Mobius Research and Strategy were engaged to conduct a community needs assessment and options analysis between May 2017 and June 2017. The research built on the previous studies and considered the function and use of the OTHCC in the context of other council-owned and non-council owned facilities and future needs of the Ōtāhuhu community.
22. The research included:
· community stakeholder interviews
· programme provider and user interviews
· desk research – review of previous reports, strategic documents and demographic context of Ōtāhuhu
· site visits.
23. The overall findings from the needs assessment are:
i) Continued (and possibly greater) provision for youth is supported
There are a variety of youth activities provided in Ōtāhuhu at the Community Centre, in the former library space, in Toia and within sporting facilities. These activities do not appear to be coordinated and some are temporary and require a more permanent tenure for their potential to be realised. Socio-demographic characteristics of Ōtāhuhu show a high proportion of youth in the area. This needs to be taken into consideration in decisions regarding future provision for youth.
ii) Provision for arts and culture activities can potentially be accommodated in existing facilities, rather than in a dedicated facility
The earlier needs assessments (2013 and 2015) identified the need for arts and culture space in Ōtāhuhu, in particular exhibition and activities space. The study did not reassess this ‘need’ but considered options for the incorporation of arts and culture activities and services. The key finding is that there is capacity to incorporate arts and culture activity into a community centre and there is no requirement for a dedicated facility. There is some opportunity to make better use of the current space for arts and culture activities in the interim until a decision is made about the community centre.
iii) A number of the Council-owned facilities/sites in Ōtāhuhu currently have capacity
Some lessees are using facilities for only a few hours each week or use only part of the facility, and other sites (sports facilities) are mainly used on a seasonal and/or weekend basis. There are opportunities to make better use of these facilities by relocating some existing activities, providing space for new activities and providing opportunities for, and encouraging increased sharing of space. It should be noted that there are physical, locational and complex legal constraints that will influence how these opportunities can be realised.
iv) Non-Council owned facilities in Ōtāhuhu are generally at capacity
School and church halls generally have regular bookings during peak times (evenings and weekends) so opportunities to provide for community activities and programmes are very limited.
v) There is an ongoing need for a Community Centre in Ōtāhuhu
OTHCC provides a range of programmes and activities that cater for the Ōtāhuhu community. Due to the configuration of the facility and the current operating commitments there is limited capacity to cater for additional activity, particularly on weekends.
There are few other Council and non-Council owned facilities in the area that can adequately provide for the current programmes and activities due to physical, locational and complex legal limitations.
The creation of flexible and functional spaces that could be shared by users (with appropriate storage and pack down facilities) would offer opportunity for increased service delivery and more efficient use of space. The increased service delivery could include targeted art and youth-focussed activity in appropriate multipurpose spaces designed for shared use.
The demographic composition of the Ōtāhuhu community indicates that community services will continue to benefit Ōtāhuhu as the community grows.
Options
24. The Mobius study has identified three key options for community facilities in Ōtāhuhu:
i) Retain the existing facility and service provision at High Street, and investigate the opportunities for improved services at other existing Council-owned facilities (recognising that some of them are currently under-utilised)
ii) Develop a purpose built community facility (at a site to be determined), with the opportunity to accommodate additional activities and services to deliver an integrated service and improve flexibility for shared use
iii) Develop a purpose built community facility (at a site to be determined), with the opportunity to accommodate additional activities and services to deliver an integrated service and improve flexibility for shared use, and investigate opportunities for improved services at other Council-owned sites.
25. The key findings and options were workshopped with the local board on 24 May 2017. The board indicated their preference for Option 3. This option provides the opportunity to look across the whole portfolio and identify the optimal provision across all assets, recognising the complexities of the ownership is a constraint.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
26. At a workshop on 1 March 2017, the local board supported staff undertaking a community needs assessment and options analyses for Ōtāhuhu to inform the optimisation of council’s High Street property. This work would build on the earlier needs assessments by looking at the current services and associated facilities offering and where we want to head to achieve better overall community outcomes.
27. A series of workshops have subsequently been held with the local board throughout the process providing updates and seeking direction and input at critical points.
Māori impact statement
28. Panuku has a comprehensive Iwi engagement process that engages with the 19 key Mana Whenua groups in the Tamaki region on four fronts: identifying cultural significance concerns regarding disposal and development properties, flagging commercial interests, development partnering discussions and engagement around design outcomes for council driven development projects. Panuku has also undertaken to be part of council’s Maori Responsiveness Plan pilot program. The project’s key output will be an operational document outlining how Panuku will contribute to council’s strategic and operational commitments to Maori. Iwi engagement will be undertaken if the optimisation of 10-16 High Street, Ōtāhuhu is progressed.
Implementation
29. Panuku will report back to the board on the optimisation feasibility in November 2017. Community Services will be involved in that process to ensure that the community needs identified in the assessment are met by any resulting optimisation projects.
30. Participants in the research will be thanked for their input into the social research and a link to the Ōtāhuhu Community Needs Assessment and Options Analysis Report (2017) will be made available.

Auckland Transport Update - October 2018
File No.: CP2017/21683
Purpose
1. The purpose of this report is to; respond to resolutions on transport-related matters, provide an update on the current status of Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) and, provide transport related information on matters of specific application and interest to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board (MOLB) and its community.
Executive summary
2. This month a decision is not required and information is provided about the following matters:

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board: a) note the Auckland Transport Update – October 2017 report.
|
Response to Resolutions
3. The Resolution is recorded below in bold. Auckland Transport’s response is below the Resolution in normal font
Resolution Number MO/2017/173
a) requests a workshop be scheduled with Auckland Transport to discuss the detail design of Future Streets Cycle lanes in planning the next phase of work.
4. Auckland Transport notes the MOLB’s request and reports that a workshop is currently being scheduled for later in the year. The workshop will provide an opportunity for a critical debrief of the project and Auckland Transport will make sure that Hamish Mackie, the originator of Future Streets and other technical specialists are available for the meeting.
Comments
Strategic Alignment
New Network
5. Auckland Transport is working to a plan that aims to provide people in Auckland with a completely new and improved public transport network. The plan was developed from Auckland Council’s direction in the original Auckland Plan and slowly but surely Auckland Transport has delivered simplified, more reliable bus networks that link people with the rail network at large interchanges. By simplifying routes reliability increases as does the number of buses servicing each individual route. People can then use more regular, reliable bus services to either get to their destination or to access trains with which to complete their north / south journeys.
6. In 2016 the Southern New Network was delivered and we have seen significant increases in both the number of people using public transport and in their customer experience.
7. The next step is delivery of the Eastern New Network. Although this network is not in the Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board area it is linked strategically and will impact on this area. Figure One is taken from the 2016 South-Western Multi-Modal Airport Rapid Transit Business case and demonstrates the considerable number of East / West commuter movements generated just by the airport. Currently about 2% of airport employees and 7% of passengers use public transport. Auckland Airport is only one employer in Mangere; many other businesses located there also rely on workers travelling from East Auckland.
Figure 1 – Where people working at Auckland Airport live
8. Delivery of an efficient Eastern New Network may reduce the number of people commuting by car. Soon steps will start to ensure that the public knows what is happening including:
· Posting out approx. 75,000 information flyers.
· Radio advertising.
· Media advertising.
· Public open days.
9. Many of the communications steps have been developed using experienced gained delivering the New Network in other parts of Auckland such as South Auckland. By early next year Auckland Transport aims to have the Eastern New Network up and running. We will keep the MOLB updated on progress.
City Rail Link
10. The City Rail Link will have a huge strategic effect on Auckland’s public transport but also provides the opportunity for considerable local benefits especially economic. . The MOLB will be briefed by the project team on 4 October 2017. The project team will talk about the project’s progress. Upcoming work that is planned in Otahuhu and will highlight the economic benefits of the project.
11. An often overlooked benefit of the City Rail Link is the strategic push the project gives employment. The team have worked with the Southern Initiative and contracts include clauses to encourage the use of local labour. This helps get more people into employment both during construction and in the longer term maintaining the infra-structure. From a Mangere-Otahuhu perspective this project provides opportunities for young people in this area to get ‘entry level’ construction work that can lead them into long term careers.
AT’s actions against advocacy plans
12. This section provides a regular report about how Auckland Transport is supporting the MOLB ‘Advocacy Initiatives’. The Board’s ‘Advocacy Initiatives’ are recorded in the MOLB Local Board Plan. In this month’s report the MOLB’s ‘Advocacy Initiatives’ from the 2016-19 term have been recorded in the table below.
13. Auckland Transport will start providing a summary of their status as soon as possible including whether some individual initiatives can be influenced by Auckland Transport. This is because some of the projects are in parks or other areas that Auckland Transport has limited ability to support.
14. Generally though Auckland Transport is already working to support most of these initiatives and over time will report further work to meet the MOLB plan’s aims.

Local board transport capital fund (LBTCF) update
15. The LBTCF is a capital budget provided to all Local Boards by Auckland Council and delivered by Auckland Transport. Local Boards can use this fund to deliver transport infrastructure projects that they believe are important but are not part of Auckland Transport’s work programme. The limitations being that the project must:
· Be safe.
· Not impede network efficiency.
· Be in the road corridor. Although projects running through parks can be considered if there is a transport outcome.

Providing better pedestrian facilities in and around Mangere East. |
‘Rough Order of Cost’ approx. $700,000 - 1,000,000. The project will stay marked ‘red’ until there is clarity about Council’s desire to fund elements of this work because the re-development of the Mangere East Town Centre is the MOLB’s main priority during the Long Term Plan and a business case is being developed to test Auckland Council’s support for the proposal to improve the area. Auckland Transport has been involved but this process needs to be worked through before LBTCF is committed. |

Notes: A ‘traffic light’ code is used to summarize the status of projects. The colours are used as follows: Green – Project progressing ‘on time’ and with budget. Orange – An issue has been identified that may need to be resolved. Red - An major issue has been identified that needs to be resolved Black – The project has been investigated and the HLB has decided not to pursue it at this time. |
Potential Projects
18. In September 2017 the MOLB indicated that it did not wish to consider using the LBTCF to fund the projects suggested by Auckland Transport’s Walking and Cycling Team to improve and extend the ‘Future Streets’ project including:
· Developing safer routes along Jordan Road
· Developing safer along Ashgrove Road and Duggan Ave.
· Improving the roundabouts on Bader Drive.
19. The projects were proposals made by Auckland Transport based on a request for information about projects that could be delivered to support Future Streets (reference the MOLB’s Local Board Plan initiatives). The proposals were reviewed in detail at a workshop.
20. At this time the MOLB is getting work done to provide quality advice for decision-making on a number of projects. Until this information is confirmed it will take a measured approach to investigating new projects.

AT HOP Promotion
23. In June and July 2017 the MOLB worked with Auckland Transport to deliver an AT HOP promotion designed to get people using cash to change over to AT HOP cards. This initiative has now been completed and there has been a period of time to measure its success.
24. The project has good data that is enhanced by data from a local AT HOP retailer that sold a similar number of cards during the same period of time. This provides a ‘control group’ that allows us to measure the success of this experiment.
25. The numbers can be summarised as follows:
· The promotion distributed 450 cards to cash users.
· 74% of cards have been used subsequently (i.e. people have actually used the AT HOP card again)
· This compares with 83% from the ‘control group’ (i.e. people who bought their new cards at the local retailer)
· Probably the most interesting difference was in the number of uses the two groups made of their AT HOP cards. The ‘control group’ has made an average of approx. 20 trips each on their new cards. The group that got their cards through the promotion has on average made approx. 12 trips wiith their new cards.
26. Auckland Transport is still reviewing the information but this promotion has certainly reached a large number of public transport users the majority of which are using their cards. This group appears to be less regular user of public transport (which probably explains why they were using cash in the first place).
27. The key learning is that this model of working together with Local Boards has allowed Auckland Transport to trial an innovative solution for educating South Auckland people about the benefits of using AT HOP.
Mangere Bridge ‘Safer Community’ project
28. Last month it was reported that Auckland Transport is delivering a new road safety initiative by concentrating road safety funding in certain areas. This programme is called ‘Safer Communities’.
29. It means that road safety programmes in these areas will get more funding and deliver larger more transformational projects. The areas are selected based on need and a variety of other social factors.
30. Mangere-Bridge has been prioritised for this initiative. Details of the proposed engineering relating to project are not available yet because they have not been developed.
31. The first step starting in October 2017 will be speaking to local people. Auckland Transport have a briefing booked with the MOLB on 29 November 2017 at which point the initial information gathered will be presented by to the MOLB for feedback.

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

Mangere Mountain Education Trust - Funding Agreement
File No.: CP2017/21172

4. To facilitate funding, approval is sought for the KPIs (see attachment A) outlined in the Funding Agreement which are aligned to MMET’s Statement of Intent (SOI) and meet the board aspirations of providing measurable benefits to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu community.
5. MMET are under significant financial pressure. Approval of the KPIs outlined in the Funding Agreement will enable payment of the $94k.
That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board: a) approve the KPI’s set out in the Mangere Mountain Education Trust’s Funding Agreement in order to facilitate the payment of $94,000 Asset Based Service funding to the Trust.
|
Comments
6. The local board approved $94,000 ABS funding through the FY17/18 Parks Sports and Recreation Annual Work Programme. To facilitate grant funding, approval is sought for the KPIs (see attachment A) outlined in the Funding Agreement which are aligned to MMET’s Statement of Intent (SOI).
7. MMET aspires to make Te Pane o Mataoho - Mangere Mountain and its surrounds, knowable, accessible and respected by residents and visitors alike. MMET provides high quality out of classroom learning experiences, with events and activities that serve local and regional schools, and delivers school holiday programmes.
History of the Trust
8. From the mid-1990s Te Waiohua Trust (representing mana whenua of Te Pane o Mataoho - Mangere Mountain), The Department of Conservation (representing the Crown) and Manukau City Council worked together to establish an educational and visitor facility on reserve land at Mangere Mountain for the benefit of the public.
9. Later these groups were joined in partnership by the Auckland Regional Council. In 2003 these parties established the Mangere Mountain Education Trust as a non-reporting Council Controlled Organisation (CCO) to manage the centre and to continue to pursue the established educational objectives in relation to the facilities, the maunga itself and the surrounding cultural landscapes.
10. In 2010 the CCO was absorbed into the new Auckland Council governance structure. In 2014 the management and control of the Crown–owned reserve lands was transferred to the Tupuna Maunga o Tamaki Makaurau Authority in terms of Nga Manawhenua o Tamaki Makaurau Collective Redress Act 2013.
11. In 2014 the decision-making powers of council in relation to their Mangere Mountain reserves (including the site of MMET) were transferred to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board (AC Resolution PAR 2014/106). Financial responsibility was also delegated to the Local Board.
12. Te Waiohua holds a lease from the council for the land it occupies on the eastern flanks of the maunga.
13. Mangere Mountain is a 106m high scoria cone, and the best preserved in the Auckland volcanic field. It has a whole suite of volcanic landforms and features, which illustrate the geological processes characteristic of Tamaki Makaurau. Te Pane o Mataoho has been occupied by Maori from their earliest arrival, and was a central feature of dense “urban” and agricultural settlement stretching to Otuataua and Matukutururu. The Mangere Mountain Reserves are a complex of more than 20 contiguous allotments covering nearly 40ha controlled variously by the Maunga Authority, the Council Governing Body and the Mangere Otahuhu Local Board.
14. The Trust now has two decades of experience in delivering high quality information and educational programmes based at the centre on the mountain and its surrounds. The target audience for these programmes has been preschool, primary and secondary school, tertiary students, community groups and families. The trust aims to provide out of classroom, discovery-led programmes of hands-on workshops, guided walks, displays and demonstrations to all of these target groups.
15. One of the new facilities recently commissioned is King Taawhiao’s cottage, restored and relocated by the council and volunteers on a site adjacent to the centre. MMET plans that once available to the Trust, the cottage will become a focal point for new learning activities associated with the history and events in the locality in Taawhiao’s time.
MMET Financial Constraints
16. MMET have notified council that they are under significant financial pressure and seek Local Board approval of the KPIs outlined in the Funding Agreement to enable payment of the $94,000 funding to relieve this pressure.
17. MMET are taking the following actions to respond to financial constraints:
a. Reviewing staffing with the expectation that there will be a programme of redundancies and/or a reduction in hours for staff.
b. Seeking efficiencies and savings wherever possible, and reducing expenditure.
c. Placing the development of new programmes on hold, specifically those relating to the nineteenth century colonial period history of Mangere and its environs.
d. Charging the General Manager of the Mangere Mountain Education Centre with raising an additional $60,000 of untagged sponsorship funds.
18. MMET have indicated that delivery of the level of services specified in its Funding Agreement and SOI will require additional funding. They are looking to address this issue by requesting an increase to their annual grant obtained through the Long Term Plan process. If successful then this would enable more funding for MMET from FY 18/19 onwards, but would not address the shortfall in funding between now and July 2018. It therefore remains possible that the Trust will request additional funding from the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board later this financial year.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
19. The local board approved $94,000 Asset Based Service funding through the FY17/18 Parks Sports and Recreation Annual Work Programme (Resolution: MO/2017/114).
20. A workshop was held with the local board in September 2017 to discuss the KPIs linked to the funding agreement. The board requested that the KPIs focus on providing measurable benefits to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu community and local schools. The KPIs aligned to the board’s request are captured under; Schedule 1, section 4 Deliverable Programme of the attached KPI document (see Attachment A).
Māori impact statement
21. Parks and heritage is of fundamental importance to Tangata Whenua, their culture and traditions established through Whakapapa. The aspirations of the MMET outlined in their KPIs contribute to a better understanding of the cultural and sacred importance of Te Pane o Mataoho to Mana Whenua.
Implementation
22. The grant funding will be provided to MMET on approval of the KPIs.

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board: a) receive the Youth Connections Local Governance Group (LGG) work programme 2016/2017 report.
|
Comments
Background
6. In 2012, the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Boards established the LGG and comprises of eight elected members from both local boards.
7. This collaborative initiative builds on the work of the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs, supporting Auckland’s young people into local jobs by improving the links between school leavers and local employers. Youth Connections is supported by the Tindall Foundation, Auckland Airport Community Trust and other key stakeholder organisations.
8. The LGG has oversight to ensure that local youth employment programmes are delivered to meet local needs. They collaborate on opportunities and pathways for youth employment to improve social and economic outcomes for local youth and their families.
Local Governance Group 2016/2017 Work Programme
9. In 2016/2017, LGG initiatives had significant investment and financial support from the Tindall Foundation, Auckland Airport Community Trust and both local boards.
10. The total investment for youth employment programmes across the two board areas for 2016/2017 was $222,200. This included a $47,000 underspend carried forward from the 2015/2016.
11. The LGG work programme (attachment A) comprises of four strategic focus areas:
· Extending Horizons – Improving the transition journey from school to employment
· Skills Exchange – Auckland Council Family
· Investing in Futures – Changing the Career Conversations
· Youth Connections Regional Strategies – Leverage and impact.
12. Of the 10 youth initiatives in the LGG work programme, all have progressed over the last 12 months. Highlights from the LGG work programme include:
· Driver license programme
- More than 450 local youth were supported to obtain learners licences. Local secondary schools provided match funding for the programmes. Over 70 per cent of entry level roles require a driver’s licence and obtaining a driver’s licence is a known barrier to youth employment.
· Youth Platforms
- The LGG previously invested in YouthHub, a platform to connect secondary school leavers to opportunities for further education or employment. After investigation into various digital programmes available, less resource intensive and more cost effective platforms were identified.
- Learnings from the Attitude Gap (2016) report led to sourcing a platform that enabled businesses to co-design work readiness courses for young people. The YouthFull on-line digital platform assists youth to connect to available entry level roles across Auckland.
- YouthFull was launched in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara-Papatoetoe at the end of 2016. Youth Connections collaborated with local libraries to engage young people and promote YouthFull. YouthFull was utilised to engage youth and businesses for the JobFest held in Manukau in May 2017 and supported youth to complete free online work readiness courses prior to attending JobFest.
- YouthFull now has over 30 free online work readiness courses. Both local boards have been acknowledged by JobFest stakeholders for their contribution and investment.
· JobFest
- JobFest May 2017 was the most successful JobFest yet, with the target audience of youth not in education employment or training (NEET) reaching 29 per cent; the highest attendance percentage of this target audience over the past five years. Over 75 businesses attended, with over 800 roles available on the day. Twenty one per cent of the attendees came from Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara-Papatoetoe.
· Supporting local creativity and entrepreneurships
- The LGG has supported local creative and entrepreneurial youth with funding of Passion to Profession courses in Māngere and Ōtara. Youth have received technical training on a broad range of multimedia skills including music and radio production. This enabled youth to activate spaces in local parks and in the community. An example of this is a collaboration with Pānuku, where students are gaining work experience activating unused space in Manukau fortnightly, with live music.
- Six youth have graduated from the programme and moved into work as engineers, producing radio adverts and event management. One graduate is about to start a New Zealand tour and another has been offered a regular segment on an Australian radio station.
13. In addition to the initiatives highlighted above all other initiatives on the 2016/2017 work programme have progressed and form part of the LGG 2017/2018 work programme.
Financial accountability
14. The operating budget for 2016/2017 was $222,270 including the $47,000 underspend carried forward. The table below details all income sources for 2016/2017:

17. Tindall Foundation funding support of $10,000 has been confirmed for 2017/2018. However, annual funding from the foundation will decrease over the next three yearsFunding from the Auckland Airport Community Trust ceased in June 2017.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
18. The Youth Connections Local Governance Group (LGG) has representatives from both Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Boards.
19. The LGG has delegated authority and oversee delivery and spend for Youth Connections activity across the two local boards.
20. Youth Connections aligns with the following outcomes from each 2017 local board plan:
· Māngere-Ōtāhuhu
o A place where everyone thrives and belongs
o A strong local economy
· Ōtara-Papatoetoe:
o Empowered, inclusive and prosperous communities
o Honouring youth and seniors
Māori impact statement
21. Local rangatahi aged 16-24 years in both local board areas are over represented in statistics of young people who are not in employment, education or training (NEET).
22. Sixty three per cent of Auckland’s NEET are Māori or Pasifika. One in four young Māori women are NEET.
23. Youth Connections works with multiple sectors to support youth from secondary education through pathways to employment and or entrepreneurships and creative endeavors. This includes working with rangatahi to enable their work readiness.
Implementation
24. No implementation is to be considered with this report.

An Update on the Place-based Spatial Planning Programme
File No.: CP2017/21522
Purpose
1. The purpose of this report is to update the Local Board on progress to date with implementing actions identified in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu area plan and to bring to the Local Board’s attention to recommendations recently adopted by the Planning Committee with respect to the council’s place-based spatial planning programme.
Executive summary
2. The Planning Committee considered a comprehensive report on the place-based spatial planning programme at its meeting on 1 August 2017. One of the purposes of the report was to inform the committee on progress with implementing a number of place-based spatial plans. One of these plans is the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu area plan which was adopted by the council on 12 March 2013. A fairly small number of the actions have been completely achieved and progress has been made on the majority of actions in the area plan.
3. The report to the Planning Committee also sought its approval of a three-year place-based spatial planning programme for the existing urban area of Auckland. Relevant to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board, is the mass transit spatial planning programme between the airport and the city centre. This item has been earmarked to be undertaken in Year 1, namely in the current financial year.

Comments
Planning Committee report on the place-based spatial planning programme
4. A comprehensive report on the non-statutory place-based spatial planning programme was considered at the Planning Committee meeting on 1 August 2017. The resolutions from this meeting are attached to this report (refer to Attachment A).
5. Included in the report was a schedule summarising the local board workshop outcomes, indicating the places local boards had expressed as a priority for planning or delivery, any new plans sought, and a response arising from the programme review. This schedule is also attached to this report, along with the more detailed three-year programme schedule (refer to Attachments B and C)
Monitoring of actions contained in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu area plan
6. The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu area plan was adopted by the council on 12 March 2013. The summary and detailed monitoring report for this area plan is attached to this report (refer to Attachment D). It indicates that whilst completion of identified projects and activities so far is modest, much is underway or ongoing. There are also actions in the area plan that were aspirational and for realization over the longer term, and which have not progressed. The monitoring report is a useful stock-take for assessing the effectiveness of the area plan and also to continue to assist with the preparation of local board plans.
A three-year place-based spatial planning programme for the existing urban area of Auckland
7. Staff from the Plans and Places Department attended local board workshops in May and June 2017 to discuss possibilities for new local spatial plans and planning in local board areas over the next three years. Staff also participated in local board plan workshops in 2017 to identify plans the local boards would be interested in for their respective areas.
8. Following these workshops, the Plans and Places Department overall work programme was reviewed to ensure the programme could be delivered along with the department’s other obligations such as plan changes, notices of requirement and structure plans. The plan approved for preparation by the Planning Committee and relevant to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board area is the mass transit spatial planning programme between the airport and the city centre. This item has been earmarked to be undertaken in Year 1, ie during the current (2017/2018) financial year.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
9. In developing the proposed place-based spatial planning programme for existing urban areas, local board plans were reviewed for references to new spatial plan initiatives and for delivery of actions from adopted spatial plans. In most cases a Local Development Initiative budget contribution was proposed. Staff from the Plans and Places department also attended local board workshops in May and June 2017. Place-based spatial planning and proposals for plans for their areas over the next three years and beyond were discussed. Outcomes of these workshops are shown in Attachment B.
Māori impact statement
10. The proposed place-based spatial planning programme for existing urban areas has been derived from core council strategies and plans including the Auckland Plan, Long-term Plan and local board plans. These strategies and plans were developed through engagement with mana whenua and mataawaka in Auckland. When place-based spatial plans are initiated, engagement strategies are prepared to describe how and when mana whenua and mataawaka will be involved and what the particular partnership and governance relationships will be. As the content of plans is developed, further involvement and response is sought to ensure the content of themes, outcomes, key strategies and actions reflect the values and interests of Māori.
Implementation
11. Place-based spatial planning is a core function of the Plans and Places Department, however these plans cannot be developed without input from a wide range of council departments and considerable involvement of the Council Controlled Organisations. Analysis to date indicates that the proposed planning programmes for existing urban and future urban areas can be managed within existing council budgets.
12. It is a standard requirement to include implementation plans either within or alongside place-based spatial plans. These implementation plans identify the actions developed and agreed by the contributing departments and agencies, their timescales for delivery and whether budgets are allocated or subject to future funding processes through local board plans, local board agreements and the Long-term Plan.

Area Plan Implementation Monitoring Summary June 2017
Māngere-Ōtāhuhu AREA PLAN 2013
Key moves and outcomes
The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Area Plan (2013) identified six key moves:
· revitalise and enhance Māngere-Ōtāhuhu’s centres: Māngere Bridge, Favona, Māngere East, Māngere, and Ōtāhuhu;
· provide for a multi-modal rapid transport corridor and improved public transport network to the airport, CBD and the local and wider region;
· improve the water quality of the Manukau Harbour and promoting opportunities for appropriate public access to the coast;
· promote Māngere-Ōtāhuhu’s businesses and Auckland Airport as the local and regional employment, tourism and recreation destinations and gateway to Auckland;
· progressively enhance Māngere and Ōtāhuhu residential areas through comprehensive redevelopment, planning and partnerships with major landowners;
· recognise the kaitiaki role of Mana Whenua, while conserving, supporting and celebrating Māngere-Ōtāhuhu’s rich heritage resources and its distinctive Pasifika, European, Asian and multicultural identity.
Evaluation of progress
Each of the Key Moves has been reviewed with stakeholders provided information relating to the status of projects identified. The stakeholders include: the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board, The Southern Initiative (TSI), The Maori Heritage Project, Parks, Sports and Recreation, Auckland Transport and Watercare Services Ltd.

There were 115 projects and initiatives identified in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Area Plan. Of these, 52 were identified as Economic and Community Development outcomes, 32 as Transport and Network Infrastructure outcomes and the remaining 31 related to Natural Environment, Heritage and Character. Progress has been broken down into three classifications: 15% completed, 81% in progress (good or limited progress), and 4% not yet begun (no progress). See Figure 1 below.
Examples of some of the projects and initiatives completed or underway are:
· major development of community facilities including the completion Ōtāhuhu Recreation Centre and completion of the Māngere Moana-Nui-a Kiwa Centre upgrade;
· significant steps taken developing vocational programmes as part of Youth Connections and TSI programmes, including airport-related employment training;
· major improvements in public transport infrastructure and routes. This includes the Ōtāhuhu transport interchange, the new Māngere bus station and East-West bus linkages to rail line, and the new Network bus service in South Auckland;
· major amenity upgrade for Ōtāhuhu streets between the transport interchange and Ōtāhuhu Town Centre;
· the Ōtāhuhu Portage project has been moved forward from a being Long Term to a Short Term project as part of the Ōtāhuhu-Middlemore Spatial Priority Area with restoration and construction of the Portage to commence in 2018;
· the Maori Cultural Heritage Programme has researched and nominated a number of sites for scheduling through a Plan Change as they form part of the Ihumātao cultural landscape project;
· future Street Programme is collaboration between Auckland Transport/NZTA/ Ministry of Business and Innovation/Auckland Council and has undertaken to provide safe streets in Māngere including connecting cycleways and walkways.

Implement land use changes identified in the Area Plan Framework Map 2042 into the Unitary Plan including place based outcomes identified in the three theme maps. |
Good Progress/ Complete |
The land use changes objectives and planning details identified in the M-O Area Plan, were incorporated into the Auckland Unitary Plan. This included a significant area of Mixed Use zoning, Mixed House Urban zoning and Mixed House Suburban zoning in Mangere Bridge. It includes intensification around the Mangere Town Centre and the Otahuhu Town Centre. This zoning can be sighted on the UP maps (2016). |
Plans and Places/ Auckland Council |
Economic and Community Development outcomes |
Māngere town centre, Favona and surrounding residential neighbourhoods– Undertake further detailed planning of the Māngere town centre to facilitate future residential and employment. |
Good Progress/ Complete |
These actions were undertaken as part of the Auckland Unitary Plan process. (2016). |
Plans and Places/ Auckland Council |
Economic and Community Development outcomes |
Māngere Bridge – Undertake further detailed planning of the Māngere Bridge local centre and surrounding area to facilitate future residential and employment growth and connection with any future transport improvements. |
Good Progress/ Complete |
These actions were undertaken as part of the Auckland Unitary Plan process. (2016) |
Plans and Places/ Auckland Council |
Economic and Community Development outcomes |
Mangere Bridge - Establish a local centre where growth is enabled within a maximum height of three storeys, to retain the village character and views of Māngere Mountain. |
Good Progress/ Complete |
The Unitary Plan process has provided for significant growth in the Mangere Bridge business centre. Mangere Bridge has retained its Local Centre status, however a large area of Mixed Use zoning has been provided around the centre and further development space has been provided for towards State Highway 20 and future potential public transport links. Under the Unitary Plan much of the Mangere Bridge area is subject to the Regional Volcanic View Shaft and Height Sensitive Area Controls Overlay. Applying the 'general rule' that the most restrictive control applies then nearly all of the Mangere Bridge area is subject to the 9 metre Height Sensitive Area control. This includes the Local Centre and building higher than the 9 metres would require a non-comply activity consent. |
Plans and Places/ Auckland Council |
Economic and Community Development outcomes |
Mangere Bridge, Provide for new residential development that strengthens the viability of the local centre whilst being sympathetic to the existing character. Terraced housing and apartments are anticipated up to three storeys, moving to four storeys closer to SH20. |
Good Progress/ Complete |
The Unitary Plan has provided for a range of building typologies including Mixed House Suburban and Mixed House Urban zone developments. Under the Unitary Plan much of the Mangere Bridge area is subject to the Regional Volcanic View Shaft and Height Sensitive Area Controls Overlays. Applying the 'general rule' that the most restrictive control applies then nearly all of the Mangere Bridge area is subject to the 9 metre Height Sensitive Area control. This includes the Local Centre and building higher than the 9 metres would require a non-comply activity consent. |
Plans and Places/ Auckland Council |
Economic and Community Development outcomes |
Mangere Bridge - Establish a safe, legible and high quality public realm that includes shared spaces, open spaces and a focal point for the town centre. |
Limited progress |
The Unitary Plan also aims for better utilisation of public space around the Local Centre. Further developments have included the completion of the Mangere Bridge library outdoor patio area, the completion Kiwi Esplanade reserve concept plan and development of the walkway and cycleway along Kiwi Esplanade. |
Plans and Places/ Auckland Council |
Economic and Community Development outcomes |
Mangere Bridge - Work with owners of key sites in Coronation Road to plan and assist with the delivery of high quality housing close to the local centre. |
Limited progress |
The Unitary Plan has allowed for intensification of development around the Mangere Bridge Local Centre. This includes significant areas of Mixed Use (MU) and Mixed House Urban (MHU) zoning. The MHU zoning includes Waterfront road which faces the Manukau Harbour. It is envisioned that the zoning and location will result higher quality housing. The Unitary Plan was developed in conjunction with considerable consultation. However, work has not been done with owners of specific key sites. |
Plans and Places/ Auckland Council |
Economic and Community Development outcomes |
Provide for new residential development in the surrounding neighbourhoods that provides high quality, affordable housing. Promote a variety of housing types ranging from large family houses through to 1-2 bedroom apartments to meet housing need. Heights should be predominantly two storeys, allowing for three to four storeys close to the centres, parks and public transport. |
Good Progress/ Complete |
The Unitary Plan has the provision of Mixed House Urban and Mixed Use zoning around the Local Centre. Under the Unitary Plan much of the Mangere Bridge area is subject to the Regional Volcanic View Shaft and Height Sensitive Area Controls Overlay. Applying the 'general rule' that the most restrictive control applies then nearly all of the Mangere Bridge area is subject to the 9 metre Height Sensitive Area Control. |

Good Progress |
The Southern Initiative Infrastructure Consortium has a government contract with the Tertiary Education commission to deliver the Māori and Pasifika Trades Training Programme, training 18-34 year-olds to be work-ready for a career in trades in the construction, engineering, infrastructure or electrical fields. The Māori and Pasifika Trades Training is a government initiative to help more Māori and Pasifika (aged 16-40) to gain practical qualifications. As well as being important to the Auckland economy, the trades training programme provides a significant opportunity for Māori and Pasifika peoples who make up a large proportion of the population of the south. It provides a free training and all Maori and Pasifika can apply regardless of educational achievement, background or previous work experience. Trainees are exposed to work situations and interact with employers while a mentor supports them. The programme is delivered by The Southern Initiative (TSI) Maori and Pasifika Trades Training Infrastructure Consortium, through Auckland Council’s TSI project. The TSI programme is ongoing. |

Ōtāhuhu – Undertake further detailed planning of the Ōtāhuhu town centre and surrounding area to facilitate future residential and employment growth and connection with any future transport improvements. |
Good Progress |
Further detailed land use planning has been undertaken in Otahuhu as part of the Auckland Unitary Plan (AUP). The AUP has been supported by the development of the Otāhuhu Framework Plan which was adopted in 2015 and which has provided a guide to the Otahuhu Street upgrade programme. The Otāhuhu Framework Plan was a result of Otāhuhu being recognised as one of Auckland Council's Spatial Priority Areas. The Development Programme Office currently oversees the Otāhuhu Spatial Priority area programme. A $17-18 million budget has been provided to spend over the next 3 years in the 2015-2025 budget on street scape improvements and public transport improvements. The Framework Plan will guide future streetscape upgrades, this includes the upgrade of Mason Avenue from the station to the town centre. There was also $3.8 million allocated to Avenue Road in financial years 2016 and 2017. This budget was to deliver both streetscape and public transport improvements on Avenue Road. Otāhuhu is also Strategic Special Housing Area - the Otāhuhu Coastal Strategic Area. There is still a level of planning and development work required for specific Otahuhu projects, including work on the Portage/greenway connection which is expected to begin physical works in 2018. |

Ihumatao peninsula future urban area – Undertake further detailed planning of the Ihumatao Peninsula Future Urban area. |
Limited progress |
A section of the Ihumatāo Peninsula Future Urban Development area has been address under the Oruarangi Road SHA project. This has resulted in the Oruarangi Road SHA area being rezoned Mixed House Suburban (MHS) under the AUP. The Oruarangi Road SHA is planned to provide between 350-480 new homes, including affordable homes. The development includes reserves and open space that will integrate with the adjacent Otuataua Stonefields Historic Reserve. The SHA project has, however, been controversial.

The study will establish a coupled hydrodynamic and water-quality model of New Zealand’s second-largest harbour. (2016) The initiative is supported by the East-West study and the commissioning of the Mangere Inlet Environmental study which is aimed at improving environment management of the inlet. A report has also been prepared on the prioritisation of projects on coastal edge. This has potential budget implication of proposed LTP. The Manukau Harbour Action Plan is in place however, there is no Manukau Marine spatial plan aa yet and the broader restoration envisaged by the M-O Area Plan remains aspirational. Restoration and remedial work on Oruarangi Awa Creek is underway following a chemical spill in June 2013. Council and Makaurau Marae are working together on initiatives to reduce industry pollution at the source in the long term. The Industry Prevention Program funded by the Local Board and promoted by the Makarau Marae to local commercial properties, has had a positive response. |

Māngere Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade |
Good progress |
Construction work is underway for a 3 year upgrade of Watercare's Mangere wastewater treatment plant. The upgrade's centre piece is an additional biological nutrient removal facility which will be situated at the South East end of the property. The project includes the construction of a new road linking Ascot Road with Puketutu Island and the construction of an embankment that will shield the plant's neighbours from the new facility and which will ultimately provide a pathway between the Watercare coastal walkway and the Greenwood Road park. The new biological nutrient removal facility is under construction. |

The IHP cited that air discharges could be managed under existing legislation and that a blanket control would be an indiscriminate method of controlling any discharges.

The Public Open Space- Informal Recreation zoning allows for a range of recreational activities. The land in question is owned by Council. The Portage has been included within the Otāhuhu Spatial Priority Area and the rehabitation and development of the portage has been identified as key project. Scoping on design work has been undertaken. A design budget of $700 thousand has been provided with an initial design phase set aside between December 2016 and March 2017. At the same time the Mt Richmond (portage) is being investigated as part of the part of the East-West Link design work. |

Otahuhu Historic Survey prepared for Auckland Council by Matthews & Matthews Architects Ltd in 2013. This report was initiated at a similar time to the M-O Area Plan. The study incorporated a detailed of the Otāhuhu Town Centre. Aspects of this survey were incorporated into the Unitary Plan - protection for the Otahuhu Town Centre and the provision of Historic Heritage in Lippiatt Street and Historic Character in Awa Street (railway houses). As part of the UP process an Auckland-Wide study of Pre1944 properties undertaken this included properties within the Māngere - Otāhuhu Local Board Area. The Pre1944 study and the Heritage Survey identified a number of additional properties within the Māngere-Otāhuhu Local Board area for scheduling within the Auckland Unitary Plan. A second heritage study incorporating Mangere, Māngere East and Favona has been commissioned by the M-O Local Board and is expected to be completed in mid-2016. This will support earlier work done in the Pre 1944 study. Māori cultural surveys & assessments are currently being undertaken with the objective of including much of this material into the Auckland Unitary Plan via a Plan Change. |

Feedback on the proposed direction of the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan
File No.: CP2017/21884
Purpose
1. To seek feedback from the local board on the proposed direction of the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan review.
Executive summary
2. Auckland Council is currently undertaking a review of its Waste Management and Minimisation Plan. This plan is prepared under the Waste Minimisation Act 2008, and is part of council’s responsibility to promote effective and efficient waste management and minimisation in Auckland.
3. This report seeks feedback from the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board on the revised proposed approach to waste management and minimisation. In particular:
· advocating to central government for a higher waste levy and for product stewardship
· addressing three priority commercial waste streams:
o construction and demolition waste
o organic waste, and
o plastic waste
· addressing waste generated from council and council-controlled organisation’s operational activities, particularly construction and demolition waste.
4. These points were initially discussed with local boards during September and October workshops on the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan.
5. The proposed draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan will be presented to the Environment and Community Committee in December 2017, seeking approval to publicly notify the draft plan. Formal feedback from all local boards will be included as a part of this report.
That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board: a) provide feedback on the proposed direction of the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan. |
Comments
Legislative context
6. Under the Waste Minimisation Act 2008, Auckland Council is required to adopt a Waste Management and Minimisation Plan, as part of its responsibility to promote effective and efficient waste management.
7. The first Auckland Waste Management and Minimisation Plan was adopted by council in 2012. It set an aspirational vision of achieving zero waste to landfill by 2040. It placed initial priority on waste reduction within the waste services that are more directly managed by council, which account for approximately 20 per cent of all waste to landfill in the region.
8. Council is required to review the Auckland Waste Management and Minimisation Plan every six years. This includes conducting a Waste Assessment to review progress, to forecast future demand for waste services, and to identify options to meet future demand. This assessment was completed in mid-2017, and the findings have been outlined below.
Findings of the Waste Assessment: progress and challenges
9. Under the first Waste Management and Minimisation Plan, seven separate council-managed waste services to households are being merged into one standardised region-wide service. This has included:
· introducing a new inorganic collection service
· introducing large bins for recycling across the region
· introducing bins for refuse in areas that had bag collections
· establishing five community recycling centres in Waiuku, Helensville, Devonport, Henderson and Whangaparaoa, with another seven to be established by 2024.
10. Some service changes agreed under the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2012 are still to be introduced to standardise the approach across the whole Auckland region, most notably, a food waste collection in urban areas and pay-as-you-throw charge for kerbside refuse collections.
11. Whilst the council-managed services have achieved waste minimisation, the total amount of waste to landfill has increased by 40 per cent between 2010 and 2016. This is due to the increased amounts of commercial waste being generated, particularly construction and demolition waste. The amount of waste sent to landfill is projected to continue to grow unless a concerted effort is made to intervene to address this trend.
12. Barriers to waste minimisation in Auckland include the low cost of sending waste to landfill compared to diverting waste to other productive uses, the lack of financial incentives to divert waste from landfill, the lack of council influence over the 80 per cent of waste that is commercially managed, and rapid population growth.
Options analysis
13. The Waste Assessment identified and evaluated three options to guide the direction of the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2018, as follows below.
14. Option one: status quo involving full implementation of the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2012. Undertaking the actions agreed in 2012 will focus interventions on 20 per cent of waste within council’s direct control. Although this option could be implemented within council’s waste budget envelope it would not meet council’s responsibilities under the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 to minimise waste in Auckland.
15. Option two: expanded focus. Full implementation of the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2012 and a focus on three priority commercial waste streams identified in the Waste Assessment - construction and demolition waste, organic waste and plastic waste. This option addresses the 80 per cent of waste outside of council’s direct control and could be implemented within the current waste budget, with some reprioritisation.
16. Option three: significant investment in residual waste treatment technologies. This option requires development of residual waste treatment facilities, with energy from waste (mass-burn incineration facilities) likely to achieve the best diversion. Significant investment is needed from both the private and public sector to develop these technologies, and there would be reputational risks associated with disposal of waste by incineration.
17. It is proposed the council adopts option two, which has the potential to significantly reduce total waste to landfill, and can be undertaken within the current funding envelope.
Proposed updates to the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2012
18. It is proposed that the new Waste Management and Minimisation Plan will continue the direction of the 2012 Plan, and extend the focus of council activity from the 20 per cent of waste that is directly managed by council and its contractors, to the other 80 per cent that is commercially managed.
19. The proposed vision of the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan is ‘Auckland aspires to be zero waste by 2040, taking care of people and the environment, and turning waste into resources’.
20. It is proposed that zero waste is maintained as an aspirational target. Achieving high diversion rates in Auckland (in the order of 80 per cent as achieved by an exemplar city, San Francisco) is considered to be a successful response to such an aspirational target.
21. To achieve the zero waste vision, three goals are proposed: minimise waste generation, maximise opportunities for resource recovery, and reduce harm from residual waste.
22. Three updated targets are proposed:
· total waste: reduce by 30 per cent by 2027 (no change from the current waste plan)
· domestic waste: reduce by 30 per cent by 2020/2021 (extension of date from 2018 to align with the roll-out of the food waste kerbside collection service; a new target will be set once this is achieved)
· council’s own waste:
o reduce office waste by 60 per cent by 2040 (target doubled from current waste plan)
o work across council to set a baseline for operational waste (generated as a result of council activities such as property maintenance, construction and demolition, and events, and implement these baseline targets by 2019.
23. The proposed draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan identifies the actions that will be undertaken over the next six years. The priority actions that will have the biggest impact on waste reduction include:
· continued delivery of the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2012, including the transition to consistent kerbside services (including introduction of a kerbside organic collection in urban areas and the standardisation of pay-as-you throw kerbside refuse collection across the region), and establishment of the resource recovery network
· a focus on addressing the 80 per cent of waste that council does not directly influence, by:
o advocating to central government for a higher waste levy and for product stewardship
o addressing three priority commercial waste streams:
- construction and demolition waste,
- organic waste, and
- plastic waste
o addressing waste generated from council and council-controlled organisation’s operational activities, particularly construction and demolition waste.
24. The draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan will put emphasis on partnership and engagement with other sectors that are relevant to the priority action areas. Council recognises that it cannot achieve its waste minimisation responsibilities by acting alone.
25. It is important to note that council has limited tools to address commercially managed waste. Achieving policy changes at central government level will be essential to achieving waste to landfill reductions in Auckland. If council is unsuccessful in its advocacy, targets will not be met.
Request for local board feedback
26. Local boards are being asked whether they support the proposed approach taken in the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan, and in particular the focus on:
a) advocating to central government for a higher waste levy and for product stewardship
b) addressing three priority commercial waste streams:
o construction and demolition waste
o organic waste, and
o plastic waste.
c) addressing waste generated from council and council-controlled organisation’s operational activities, particularly construction and demolition waste.
Financial implications
27. The actions proposed in the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan can be achieved within existing waste funding. Funding will be obtained through a combination of:
a) pay-as-you-throw domestic refuse collections, which will be progressively introduced across the region rates funding, and
b) revenue from the waste levy (from the $10 per tonne waste levy that is administered by the Ministry for the Environment, 50 per cent of which is distributed to councils, amounting to $6.1 million for Auckland Council in 2016).
28. Infrastructure to enable commercial resource recovery will require investment from external sources such as government and the private sector.
29. The budget for implementing the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan will be considered through the Long-term Plan 2018-2028 process.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
30. Workshops were held with all local boards in September and October 2017 to discuss the proposals set out in this report. This report seeks formal feedback from local boards.
Māori impact statement
31. Mana whenua and mātāwaka have been actively engaged in implementing the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2012. A number of initiatives have enabled waste minimisation from a te ao Māori context. Through Para Kore ki Tāmaki, marae in the Auckland region are able to foster kaitiakitanga practices and affirm their connections with the natural world. More than 2,000 whānau participate in the programme annually, and over 50 Para Kore zero waste events have been held since the programme rolled out in 2014. The programme provides a catalyst for taking the kaitiakitanga message from the marae into homes and the community. Protecting Papatūānuku, connecting with traditions and showing respect for customs has become a priority for whānau through this programme.
32. The proposed draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan seeks to present a stronger mana whenua and mātāwaka perspective, recognising the close alignment between te ao Māori and zero waste. Two mana whenua hui and one mātāwaka hui held in June 2017 have identified mana whenua and matāwaka principles and priorities, for direct inclusion into the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan.
Implementation
33. The draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan will have financial implications, as the targeted rate for food waste must be costed and included in consultation on the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan. It is proposed that this be aligned with consultation on the Long-term Plan 2018-2028. This will ensure that any budget implications are considered through the Long-term Plan process.

Review of representation arrangements - process
File No.: CP2017/21880
Purpose
1. To provide comments to the Governing Body on the proposed process (in Attachment B to the agenda report) for the review of representation arrangements.
Executive summary
2. All local authorities are required by the Local Electoral Act 2001 to undertake a review of representation arrangements at least once every six years in order to determine them arrangements for the following elections.
3. Auckland Council was established in 2010 and was not required to undertake a review of representation arrangements for the 2016 elections, but is required to undertake a review for the 2019 elections. The review will take place during 2018.
4. It is possible to review the following for the Governing Body:
i. Whether members are elected at-large or by ward or a combination
ii. If elected by ward, the number of members in each ward, the ward boundaries and ward names.
5. It is possible to review the following for each local board:
i. The number of members
ii. Whether local board members are to be elected by subdivision or at large
iii. If by subdivision, the number of members in each subdivision and the subdivision boundaries and names
iv. The local board name.
6. It is not possible to review the number of governing body members. This is set in the Auckland Council legislation. Other councils are able to review the number of members.
7. It is also not possible to review the boundaries, or number, of local boards. A reorganisation process is required to do this. This is a separate process under the legislation.
8. With a governing body and 21 local boards, Auckland Council has more complex arrangements than other councils and an efficient and effective process for undertaking the review needs to be determined.
9. The report attached as Attachment A was considered by the Governing Body on 28 September 2017. The report sets out the background and context to the review and a proposed process for conducting the review.
10. The Governing Body resolved a proposed process on 28 September 2017, as set out in Attachment B, and is now seeking the views of local boards on this process.
11. In December the Governing Body will resolve the final process for conducting the review, following feedback from local boards on the proposed process.
12. This report seeks the local boards’ views on the proposed process as set out in Attachment B, for conducting the review of representation arrangements.
13. Representation by way of establishing one or more Māori wards is being considered separately by the Governing Body. There is not a similar provision for Māori seats on local boards.
14. Feedback from the local board will be communicated to the Governing Body 14 December 2017 meeting.
That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board: a) provide its comments on the proposed process for conducting the review of representation arrangements.

The Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board Plan 2017 - 2020 translation into Te Reo Maori.
File No.: CP2017/21363
Purpose
1. To request the support from the Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board to support the cost of the Mangere-Otahuhu local Board’s Local Board Plan 2017 – 2020 translation to Te Reo Maori.
Executive summary
2. Mangere-Otahuhu local board members discussed the possibility of producing a Te Reo translation of the local board plan at a workshop, on 4 October 2017.
3. In discussion, board members recognised that there are 2,502 (2013) Te Reo speakers in the local board area who could benefit, and that the translation would help to support the growth of the language.
4. The cost of the translation is estimated at $7,000. The break-down of cost estimates, are $1,200 to cover costs for preparation and proof reading of the translation, and printing of 50 copies of the translated local board plans.
5. There is no current work programme for this work. If the board wishes to proceed with the translation, it would need to pay this from its community response fund. The fund can cover this expenditure, as there is a balance of $98,000 available in this financial year.
6. The Te Reo Maori translation of the plan is not intended to be printed commercially. It will be published online and community members will be able to download and print their own hard copies if they wish. A small number of copies will be printed using council in-house resources, at minor cost.
7. Te Waka Angamua will facilitate the board’s local board plan translation into Te Reo Maori.
8. It is recommended that the board authorise expenditure up to $7,000 from the community response fund for the local board plan to be translated into Te Reo Maori.
That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board: a) approve $7,000 from the board’s community response fund for the Mangere-Otahuhu local board plan 2017 - 2020 to be translated into Te Reo Maori.
