Comments

 

Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) update

3.       The board’s current LBTCF projects are included in the table below (in which ROC = rough order of costs, and FEC = firm estimate of cost):

ID#

Project Description

Progress/Current Status

353

Hill Road pedestrian link:

A project to improve pedestrian links on Hill Road between Great South Road and the Botanic Gardens

·      FEC = $525,000

·      Spend to date = $411,117

·      Project first initiated in Oct-14 but scale reduced in Nov-15 to new crossing points and safer intersections only (and proposed cycle ways removed).

·      Construction approved in Nov-15 based on FEC of $575,000 (later reduced to $525,000).

a)              

b)            Project update:

·      Project completed except for the Hillcrest Grove intersection as the work is yet to be reported to the Traffic Control Committee (TCC) for approval due to a consultation issue.

·      A further consultation letter was sent out to the property owners at the registered address on 29-Sep-17, seeking a response within two weeks.

354

Manurewa covered walkway:

A project to improve connectivity between the Manurewa bus station, rail station, and Great South Road (through Southmall) by building a weather-proof canopy to link all three.

·      FEC = $1,172,000

·      Spend to date = $1,094,337

·      Project initiated in Oct-14 and construction approved in Nov-15.  FEC has changed a number of times due to scope changes.

·      Following a further request, ROCs were provided in Mar-17 for canopies over the station ramps – the ROC for a solid (metal) roof was $721,632 while the ROC for a structureflex roof was $795,072.  The Board withheld making a decision on covering the ramps until potential opportunities relating to Te Mahia train station can be identified with AT.

·      Construction of the canopy has been completed over the station over-bridge, stairs and over to Southmall.  In Mar-17, based on AT advice it would be reviewing the layout of the existing bus station, the Board deferred the canopy extension to the bus station to the future.

 

c)            Project update:

·      All works expected have now been completed except for the mesh installation on the overbridge.

·      The mesh is required to prevent people throwing objects down onto the platforms below.  The size of the mesh is driven by KiwiRail standards.  AT also wants the size of the holes to allow hoses to be fed through that will enable cleaning of the canopy.

·      AT standard mesh is currently in storage and an installation date will be coordinated with the Public Arts team for the design mesh that is being developed with iwi artists.

·      The Public Arts team project manager will attend the Manurewa Town Centre (MTC) Steering Group meeting on 10-Oct-17 to provide an update.

512

Manurewa RSA mobility parking:

A project to create mobility parking spaces directly outside the RSA main entrance to improve ease of access and comfort for disabled patrons

·      FEC estimate of $11,600

·      Spend to date $4,685

·      On 20-Jul-17, the Board approved the project to proceed to construction based on the FEC of $11,600.

·      TCC approval was given on 8-Sep-17.

 

Project update:

·      Works completed on 26-Sep-17 (see below).

545

Wattle Farm Road new central pedestrian refuge:

A project to improve pedestrian inter-connectivity between Acacia Cove Village and Bupa Retirement Village

·      ROC estimate of $24,360

·      On 17-Aug-17, the Board approved the project to proceed to detailed design and costing based on a ROC of $24,360.

 

Project update:

·      Bupa is yet to install a side-islands style pedestrian facility.  Given the Board would prefer a central-island style facility, AT will work with Bupa on implementing the Board’s preferred option and share costs.

·      AT has met with Bupa, finalised plans and is expecting design drawings in two weeks.  After receipt, consultation and TCC approval will be needed.

·      AT is planning for works on the pedestrian refuge to be undertaken in conjunction with AT’s installation of footpaths in the immediate area.

546

Te Mahia station upgrade:

A project to work in conjunction with AT to upgrade the station beyond the basic scope of works identified by AT

·      $2.5M confirmed funding from AT

·      Potential $2.5M allocation identified by Board

·      AT has identified $2.5M this FY to upgrade the station, including platform resurfacing, new shelter, lighting, public announcement system, passenger information and CCTV improvements, perimeter fencing and upgrading the pedestrian level crossing.

·      On 17-Aug-17, the Board noted that $2.5 million had been identified to contribute towards the Te Mahia rail station upgrade project.

·      AT met with representatives of the Board’s MTC Steering Group on 5-Sep-17 to discuss the additional scope envisaged by the Board.

 

Project update:

Responses to Manurewa Local Board requests

5.       At its May 2017 business meeting, the Manurewa Local Board requested Auckland Transport to investigate the possibility of installing public toilets at the Manurewa bus/train station.  Auckland Transport has since identified a spare three-berth exeloos unit (see photo further below), which could be relocated to the bus station area. One stall would be reserved for bus drivers, while the other two would be available for the public.

6.       On 18 September a site visit was undertaken to identify potential sites within the bus station precinct area for the unit.  Options were reported to a board workshop on 5 October and preferences reported back to the Facilities Operations team.  Advice is awaited on installation timeframes.

 

Consultation documents on proposed improvements

7.       Consultation documents for the following proposals have been provided to the Manurewa Local Board for its feedback, and are summarised here for information purposes only.

8.       Following consultation, Auckland Transport considers the feedback received and determines whether to proceed further with the proposal as consulted on, or proceed with an amended proposal if changes are considered necessary.

9.       Proposed P180 time limited parking restrictions, Hill Road, ManurewaAuckland Transport is proposing to install P180 parking restrictions between 7am – 6pm, Monday to Sunday, on Hill Road.  These restrictions have been proposed in response to complaints from the Manurewa Local Board and residents regarding cars parked for sale along Hill Road, outside the Botanic Gardens.  The board has provided feedback in support of the proposal.

SH1 Southern Corridor Improvements project update

14.     With work advanced at Orams Road in September, the bridge will be ready to reopen to traffic, pedestrians and cyclists on Saturday 7 October.  Work continued on the structures around the Takanini Interchange for the southbound and northbound shoulders.  Piers were constructed for the southbound bridge over Great South Road and the deck was poured for the new southbound bridge over the railway line.

 

Orams Road Bridge to Hill Road:

·    At Orams Road Bridge, formwork for the concrete deck was removed, the footpaths were placed, and the bridge was asphalted and line marked

·    In the southbound shoulder at the Botanic Gardens, work continued on relocating services, including a gas main, to allow drainage works to begin.

 

Hill Road to Takanini Interchange:

·    From Hill Road to Alfriston Road, lighting poles were installed in the median, and temporary traffic barriers were removed from both the northbound and southbound lanes

·    Finishing works continued in the southbound shoulder, including painting the noise walls with anti-graffiti paint and planting swales.

 

Takanini Interchange:

·    Major underground service relocation, including electricity and gas, continues to advance

·    A new drainage crossing was installed across the southbound Takanini on-ramp

·    The concrete deck for the new northbound bridge over the railway line was poured, and then formwork stripped. Barriers were also installed on the bridge

·    Earthworks to widen the southbound shoulder continued

·    In the northbound shoulder, service relocation, ground improvements, and retaining wall construction continued to advance to support the new northbound on-ramp.

 

Takanini to Pahurehure Inlet:

·    Installation began for wire trellis to support vine growth on the noise walls

·    Piling rigs were mobilised at the Pahurehure Inlet bridge and piling started for the new southbound bridge as well as the northbound shared user path bridge

·    Noise wall construction continued in the northbound shoulder through Conifer Grove.

d)             

15.     In October, over the nights only of 8-10 October, and the following 15-17 October, precast beams for the new southbound bridge across Great South Road will be placed.  To accommodate the beam lift, Great South Road under the Takanini Interchange will be closed to traffic and detours will be in place for traffic via the motorway.  Puhinui Stream pathway will be closed to all pedestrians and cyclists from Monday 16 October and there will be a detour in place, across Orams Bridge and along Pedestal Lane.

 

Orams Road Bridge to Hill Road:

·    On Saturday 7 October, the Orams Road bridge will be reopening to pedestrians, cyclists and traffic.

·    The Puhinui Stream footpath will be closed from Monday 16 October and removed to prepare for the widening of the motorway bridge over Puhinui Stream. The path will be reinstated and open for public use in April 2018.

·    The gas main under the motorway near Puhinui Bridge will be relocated. Once the new line has been installed, the old line will be removed.

·    Drainage works will continue along the southbound shoulder from Orams Road to Hill Road, and new culverts will be installed under the motorway.

 

Hill Road to the Takanini Interchange:

·    In the southbound shoulder, finishing works will continue with swales being planted and noise walls being painted.

·    Lighting poles will continue to be installed in the median.

·    Maintenance bays will be constructed in the southbound shoulder both north and south of Alfriston Road Bridge.

 

Takanini Interchange:

·    Bridge beams will be placed to construct the southbound bridge deck over Great South Road. This will provide an additional third lane southbound through the Takanini Interchange.

·    Piling will begin in the northbound shoulder of the motorway for the two new northbound bridges over the railway line. One bridge will accommodate an additional lane on the motorway, while the other will support the extended Takanini northbound on-ramp.

·    Gas main relocation works will be completed along Great South Road.

·    A large pit will be opened to facilitate the relocation of electrical services through the Interchange area.

·    Concrete panels and straps will be installed to construct the retaining wall supporting the new northbound on-ramp.

 

Takanini to Pahurehure Inlet:

·    Establishment works will start in the Pahurehure Esplanade Reserve, Papakura, to support the construction of the shared user path bridge across the Motorway to Pescara Point.

·    Fill will be placed and compacted along the northbound shoulder at Conifer Grove to bring the existing surface in the shoulder level with the motorway.

·    Mangroves will be removed along the northbound shoulder of the motorway at the Pahurehure Inlet.

·    Pavement works will continue in the southbound shoulder at the Pahurehure Inlet.

·    The Kindergarten Reserve site compound will be removed and reinstatement of the Reserve will begin.

 

 

The eastern span of Orams Road Bridge has been widened to accommodate an additional southbound lane underneath.  The Puhinui Stream pedestrian path will be closed from 15 October while the southbound bridge over Puhinui Stream is widened for the additional lane.

More Transport Officers for Auckland’s trains

17.     Transport Officers are being recruited as part of the Security and Fare Enforcement (SaFE) programme which will increase passenger’s security and safety on trains and at rail stations.

18.     Transport Officers will target fare evaders, have the power to issue infringements, deal with any anti-social behaviour and help commuters.  They will be the “go to” person if there are issues on a train or at a station.

19.     With the number of rail passenger journeys at a record high 20 million a year, Auckland Transport is aiming to employ more than 200 Transport Officers.  The first group of Transport Officers are currently being trained and will be on the job from November.

20.     Another part of the SaFE programme is the electronic gating of more stations.  Gates have recently been installed at Otahuhu and Henderson, with further station gating for Manurewa, Middlemore, Parnell, Papatoetoe and Papakura stations to be complete by mid-2018.

21.     Electronic gates at Manurewa are due to be installed in October and expected to become operational in October/November.

 

Public transport getting the thumbs up

22.     The latest customer satisfaction survey done for Auckland Transport for the year to September 2017 shows overall satisfaction across bus, trains and ferries has risen to 91%.  Those levels compare well to Wellington at 92% and Sydney at 89% (Nov 2016).

23.     Customer satisfaction levels have been rising year on year as Auckland Transport has introduced more services that are more punctual and reliable.  Satisfaction for rail services has jumped the most from 79.0% in June 2013 to 93.7% now.  Over the same period satisfaction with bus services has leapt from 80.2% to 90.5%.

24.     The Auckland Transport Customer Satisfaction Survey was conducted by Gravitas Research.  In the 12 months to September 2017, there were 10,796 surveys undertaken.

25.     Over the past four years, Auckland Transport has introduced AT HOP, electric trains, double decker buses, Simpler Fares, more services and new stations – and there are more improvements on the way.

26.     The number of passengers using the AT HOP card has also risen from 89 to 92%, which is world-class in terms of uptake.

27.     Auckland is in the midst of a public transport revolution, with record levels of patronage.  Overall public transport boardings totalled 89.4 million boardings for the 12 months to August 2017, an increase of 7.1%, or 6.0 million boardings in a year.

 

Manukau bus station project update

28.     Progress continues on the Manukau bus station construction site, with the station due to open in the second quarter of 2018.

29.     The bus station, together with the train station just across the road, will make it safer and more accessible for people to travel around south Auckland and the rest of the city.

30.     The Manukau bus and train stations will support the new bus network in South Auckland and allow more efficient bus-to-bus and bus-to-train connections.

31.     The project is Auckland Transport’s first to contain a “Social Outcomes” component in its procurement process for a contractor.  When NZ Strong was awarded the contract, it had to demonstrate how it would train and employ South Auckland graduates from The Southern Initiative at no additional cost to Auckland Transport.  The Southern Initiative is an Auckland Council programme which aims to champion, stimulate and enable social and community innovation in South Auckland and equip Māori and Pasifika people in the area with skills and access to meaningful employment opportunities.

32.     For more information on the project, construction updates, photographs, drone and time-lapsed video footage, visit https://at.govt.nz/manukaustation (under “Latest updates”).

Comments

7.       The Auckland Council Community Grants Policy supports each local board to adopt a grants programme (see Attachment A).

8.       The local board grants programme sets out:

·    local board priorities

·    lower priorities for funding

·    exclusions

·    grant types, the number of grant rounds and when these will open and close

·    any additional accountability requirements.

9.       The Manurewa Local Board will operate three quick response and two local grants rounds for this financial year. 

10.     The community grant programmes have been extensively advertised through the council grants webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters, Facebook pages, council publications, radio, and community networks.

11.     The Manurewa Local Board has set a total community grants budget of $141,000 for the 2017/2018 financial year.

12.     To date, the Manurewa Local Board has allocated $30,505 in quick response round one. A total of $110,495 remains to be allocated.

13.     In Local Grants Round One, 32 applications were received; requesting a total of $186,258 (see Attachment B).

Consideration

Local board views and implications

14.     Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community grants.  The Manurewa Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or deadline these grant applications against the local board priorities identified in the local board grant programme.

15.     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.”

16.     A summary of each application received through Local Grants Round One is attached, see Attachment B.

Māori impact statement

1.       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.

2.       Six organisations applying in this round have identified as Maori and sixteen have indicated their project targets Maori or Maori outcomes.

Implementation

17.     The allocation of grants to community groups is within the adopted Long Term Plan 2015-2025 and local board agreements.

18.     Following the Manurewa Local Board allocating funding to the two grant rounds, commercial and finance staff will notify the applicants of the local board’s decision.

Review of representation arrangements - process

 

File No.: CP2017/21912

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       To provide comments to the Governing Body on the proposed process (in Attachment B) 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.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      provide its comments on the proposed process for conducting the review of representation arrangements.

 

Consideration

Local board views and implications

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.

Māori impact statement

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.

Implementation

14.     Feedback from the local board will be communicated to the Governing Body 14 December 2017 meeting.

Feedback on the proposed direction of the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan - Manurewa Local Board

 

File No.: CP2017/21870

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       To seek feedback from the Manurewa 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 the council’s responsibility to promote effective and efficient waste management and minimisation in Auckland.

3.       This report seeks feedback from the Manurewa 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:

construction and demolition waste

organic waste, and

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.

 

 

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa 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 the 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.       Auckland 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:

reduce office waste by 60 per cent by 2040 (target doubled from current waste plan)

work across the 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:

advocating to central government for a higher waste levy and for product stewardship

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. Auckland Council recognises that it cannot achieve its waste minimisation responsibilities by acting alone.

25.     It is important to note that the 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 the 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:

·    advocating to central government for a higher waste levy and for product stewardship 

·    addressing three priority commercial waste streams:

construction and demolition waste

organic waste, and

plastic waste.

·    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:

·    pay-as-you-throw domestic refuse collections, which will be progressively introduced across the region

·    rates funding, and

·    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.

Manurewa Local Board

19 October 2017

 

 

New Road Name Approval for the new residential subdivision at 71 Rowandale Avenue, Manurewa

 

File No.: CP2017/20540

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Manurewa Local Board, for a new road name for a road created by way of a residential subdivision at 71 Rowandale Avenue, Manurewa.

Executive summary

2.       Auckland Council has road naming guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names.  These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming for the Auckland Council.

3.       Following assessment against the road naming criteria, the road names ‘Trinco Place’ (applicant’s preferred road name), ‘Koneswar Place’ (primary alternative name) and ‘Murugan Place’ were determined to meet the road naming guideline criteria. 

4.       Relevant local iwi groups were consulted and feedback on the suggested road names was received from Ngai Tai Ki Tamaki who indicated that they had no objections.  No response was received from the other iwi groups consulted.

5.       The road names ‘Trinco Place’ (applicant’s preferred road name), ‘Koneswar Place’ (primary alternative name) and ‘Murugan Place’, may be considered for approval by the Local Board.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, considers for approval, the road name Trinco Place’, proposed by the Applicant, for the new road created by way of a nine lot residential subdivision at 71 Rowandale Avenue, Manurewa.  It is noted that ‘Koneswar Place’ (primary alternative name) and ‘Murugan Place’ also meet the road naming criteria.

 

Comments

 

6.       The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allow that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name for the Local Board’s approval.

7.       A land use resource consent was granted on 12 February 2016 for the construction of nine household units on site with an associated nine lot fee simple subdivision.  The development includes easements for Right of Way that provides a shared legal access to all nine units. 

The Applicant has proposed the following names for consideration: 

 

Preference

Proposed New Road Name

Meaning

Preferred Name

Trinco Place

The word ‘trinco’ has Spanish and Portugese origins.  Translated into English, it means ‘latch’ or ‘handle’.  The explanation provided by the applicant states that “Trinco has a meaning of a type of door handle and meaning to have controlled property.”

First Alternative

Koneswar Place

‘Koneswar’ has been chosen as it is considered to represent the family and culture of the developer. The application states that the alternative names “are not the names of people in their family but related to their family”.

Second Alternative

Murugan Place

‘Murugan’ has been chosen as it is considered to represent the family and culture of the developer. The application states that the alternative names “are not the names of people in their family but related to their family”.

Decision Making

8.       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 Local Boards.

 

Assessment

9.       The Applicant’s proposed road names have been assessed against the criteria set out in the Auckland Council road naming guidelines;

10.     The proposed road names meet the criteria for reasons including the following:

·    Consultation has been undertaken with mana whenua to ensure appropriateness and correct spelling of the proposed names.

·    The names are relatively easy to pronounce, spell and write.

·    There are no existing similar/ same road names within Auckland Council’s boundary.

11.     As the Applicant’s preferred name (Trinco Place) meets the criteria, it is recommended for approval while noting that the alternative names proposed (Koneswar Place and Murugan Place) are also appropriate as they generally comply with all the criteria of the road naming guidelines.  The names are considered to be easy to pronounce, spell and write.  It is acknowledged that none of the proposed names are Māori, however the relevant iwi have been consulted and no objections to the proposed names have been received.  The Applicant selected the road type to be a ‘Place’ as the Right of Way falls within the ambit of the Road Type Description of ‘Short, sometimes narrow, enclosed roadway’.  Council concurs with this assessment.

Consideration

 

Significance of Decision

 

12.     The decision sought from the Manurewa Local Board for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the community.

Maori impact statement

Consultation

14.     The relevant local iwi groups were consulted and feedback on the suggested road names was received from Ngai Tai Ki Tamaki who indicated that they had no objections.  No further responses were received from the other iwi groups consulted.

New Road Name Approval for a short section of unnamed road located between 160 Roscommon Road and 149 Wiri Station Road, Manurewa (opposite Vogler Drive)

 

File No.: CP2017/20539

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Manurewa Local Board, for a new road name for a road created by way of an upgrade to the intersection of Roscommon Road with Vogler Drive.

Executive summary

2.       Auckland Council has road naming guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria of the council for proposed road names.  These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming for the Auckland Council.

3.       Following assessment against the road naming criteria, the road names ‘Puaki Drive’ (applicant’s preferred road name), ‘Matukurua Drive’ (primary alternative name) and ‘Henare Drive’ were determined to meet the road naming guideline criteria. 

4.       Local iwi groups were consulted and feedback on the suggested road names was received from Ngati Te Ata, Ngaati Whanaunga and also Te Akitai Waiohua.  No response was received from other iwi groups consulted.

5.       The road names ‘Puaki Drive’ (applicant’s preferred road name), ‘Matukurua Drive’ (primary alternative name) and ‘Henare Drive’, may be considered for approval by the local board.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, considers for approval, the road name Puaki Drive’, proposed by the Applicant, for the new road created by way of an upgrade to the intersection of Roscommon Road with Vogler Drive, Manurewa.  It is noted that ‘Matukurua Drive’ (primary alternative name) and ‘Henare Drive’ also meet the road naming criteria.

 

Comments

 

6.       The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allow that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name for the Local Board’s approval.

7.       A land use resource consent was granted on 1 December 2011 for a new “fourth leg” to the intersection of Roscommon Road and Vogler Drive.  This leg was intended to be developed to public road standards (Business Road) and would enable access to the quarry and also to any future development on the site.

8.       A further resource consent was granted on 18 January 2013 (Ref 41304 SP10916) for a two lot subdivision of the site at 149 Wiri Station Road, creating the current sites of 160 Roscommon Road and 149 Wiri Station Road, Manurewa.  This consent also extended the existing section of legal road (referred to above as the “fourth leg” of the intersection) from 80m (approved under resource consent 39366 granted on 13 December 2011 by the council) up to 120m.  This extended section of road will provide legal access for the lots being created, and will form part of a future road once the balance lot is further developed.

9.       Auckland Council is currently considering a further proposed subdivision of 149 Wiri Station Road, which includes earthworks and provision of services.  At the time of writing this report, no decision on that application has been made.

The Applicant has proposed the following names for consideration: 

 

Preference

Proposed New Road Name

Meaning

Preferred Name

Puaki Drive

Puaki is an ancestor with long standing ancestral, heritage and identity links to both Ngati Te Ata and Te Akitai. Literally, Puaki means to "open out" which is exactly what the proposed road does. This name was suggested by Ngati Te Ata.

Manurewa Senior Scholarships 2016/2017

 

File No.: CP2017/18991

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       For the Manurewa Local Board to:

a)      grant the 2016/2017 Senior Scholarship

b)      reallocate the remaining fund to 2017/2018

c)      approve changes to the initiative criteria.

Executive summary

1.       In 2016, the Manurewa Local Board approved the development of the Senior Scholarships initiative, recognising that the number of senior Manurewa residents is increasing.

2.       The scholarship was developed with the aim of improving the lives of seniors in Manurewa through active participation and engagement.

3.       Despite intensive and varied promotion of the scholarship, only one application was received for 2016/2017.

4.       Changes to the initiative have been proposed, including changing the name of the scholarship to the Lifelong Learning Fund and taking steps to make applying for the scholarship easier, and more meaningful.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      grant the requested scholarship amount of $1,696.20 to the recipient.

b)      reallocate the remaining 2016/2017 fund of $8,303.80 to the next scholarship round.

c)      approve proposed changes to the Senior Scholarships initiative.

 

Comments

Background

5.   The number of Manurewa residents aged 65 years plus increased 28.6 per cent between 2006 and 2013, residents 50 years plus has increased by 23.5 per cent.

 

6.   The Manurewa Local Board aims to improve the quality of life for Manurewa senior residents and to increase seniors’ active participation in their neighborhoods and communities.

7.   Staff worked in partnership with Age Concern Counties Manukau to develop the Senior Scholarships initiative. The scholarship was open to seniors, kuia and kaumatua aged 65 years plus who:

·    reside in the local board area

·    are involved in their community

·    have contributed during the past 12 months towards the wellbeing of their community

·    currently were or wanted to undertake learning activities in the following 12 months. Activities could include study, courses, training, or participation in a wananga, conference or event either in New Zealand or overseas

·    would share their learning and experience with the wider community.

Senior Scholarships 2016/2017

8.       The budget allocated for the 2016/2017 scholarship fund was $10,000.

9.       The application period opened 7 June 2017 and closed 21 July 2017. During this time, the scholarship was well promoted:

·    application forms were mailed to all Age Concern members residing in Manurewa

·    flyers and application forms were dropped to RSA, libraries, rotary offices and with other relevant groups, such as the Boomer Business at the Manukau Beautification Centre and U3A Manurewa

·    the scholarship was also promoted through network meetings and online.

10.     One application was received: Simon James, a 70 year old Manurewa resident, applied for $1,696.20 to pay for a Musicology degree course at the University of Auckland. The course begins February 2018 and finishes October 2018. Mr James’ application was complete, with staff and Age Concern satisfied with the content of the application.

11.     A panel consisting of local board members and Age Concern endorsed Mr James’ application at a workshop on 5 September 2017.

Lifelong Learning Fund

12.     Staff and Age Concern are proposing changes to the current Senior Scholarships initiative. These changes were presented to the local board at the 5 September workshop and are detailed below:

·    the name of the project is changed to the Lifelong Learning Fund

·    the age of scholarship recipients is lowered to 55 years plus

·    promotion of the scholarship focuses on the Five Ways of Wellbeing: connect, give, take notice, keep learning and be active

·    the application window is lengthened and will now be open from 1 November 2017 to 28 February 2018

·    application forms and processes are to be simplified

·    workshops and visits are organised to actively support seniors filling in the forms and understanding what the scholarship can offer them.

13.     The local board agreed that incorporating the Five Ways of Wellbeing into the Lifelong Learning Fund will have positive implications for the wellbeing of individuals, families, communities and organisations.

14.     On proposing the age to be lowered to 55 years plus, the following considerations were discussed:

·    while superannuation is set up for 65 years plus, there are seniors organisations that welcome members from 50 years plus (e.g. Grey Power)

·    the life expectancy for Māori is lower than for non-Māori. Auckland 2016 figures show a life expectancy of 77.5 years for Māori, comparing to 83.4 years for non- Māori.

15.     The local board agreed that simplifying the process and changing to a more active promotion, including changing the name from Senior Scholarships to Lifelong Learning Fund, will encourage more Manurewa residents to apply and benefit from this funding. 

 

Consideration

Local board views and implications

16.     The Lifelong Learning Fund will help to achieve the following outcomes from the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2017:

·    people in Manurewa are actively connecting everywhere, every day

·    a prosperous local economy supporting local people.

 

Māori impact statement

17.     The 2013 census reported a high Māori population in Manurewa. However, out of 19,131 Māori Manurewa residents recorded, only a little over 3 per cent were aged 65 plus (633 people). It was agreed that lowering the age to 55 plus will have an immediate effect on Māori applications.

18.     Complementary to the Five Ways of Wellbeing, Te Ao Māori underpins holistic models of health, such as Whare Tapa Whā, developed by Sir Mason Durie.

19.     Actively visiting and promoting the Lifelong Learning Fund to places of importance for Māori, such as Manurewa Marae, will support an inclusion of Māori learning aspirations and will make the application process meaningful.

Implementation

20.    Should the local board approve the recommendations presented in this report, staff will:

·    process the grant for 2016/2017 immediately

·    continue to partner with Age Concern Counties Manukau, using the Empowering Communities Approach, to support the Lifelong Learning Fund and associated activities.

·    commence with the Lifelong Learning Fund application process, starting 1 November 2017.

Manurewa Takanini Papakura Integrated Area Plan

 

File No.: CP2017/20245

 

 

Purpose

 

1.       To seek approval from the Manurewa Local Board to adopt the final Manurewa Takanini Papakura Integrated Area Plan.

Executive summary

2.       The purpose of the Manurewa Takanini Papakura Integrated Area Plan (integrated area plan) is to provide a planning framework to guide how the area grows and develops over the next 30 years.  The integrated area plan is a non-statutory, spatial plan that was developed collaboratively with the Community Empowerment Unit and The Southern Initiative on behalf of both the Manurewa and Papakura Local Boards.  Adoption of the final integrated area plan will also be sought from the Papakura Local Board at their business meeting on 25 October 2017.

3.       Initial community engagement on the integrated area plan occurred through various methods and events from mid-December 2016 through until March 2017.  Community feedback then informed the draft integrated area plan.  The draft integrated area plan was the subject of community engagement during April-May 2017.

4.       Comments received during the consultation periods have been taken into account when writing the final document.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      approve the Manurewa Takanini Papakura Integrated Area Plan as set out in Attachment A.

b)      delegate to officers the ability to make any minor amendments to the Manurewa Takanini Papakura Integrated Area Plan, including finalisation of design, final ratification /sign off by the Planning Committee and publication.

 

Comments

Background

 

5.       The Great South Road Corridor running through Manurewa, Takanini and Papakura was identified as one of 10 Spatial Priority Areas in Auckland Council’s Long Term Plan (2015 – 2025).  The key action resulting from this spatial priority area is the preparation of an integrated area plan.  Plans and Places have led this integrated area plan in partnership with the Community Empowerment Unit and The Southern Initiative.

6.       The integrated area plan sets out a planning framework with five concepts and supporting actions for the future of the corridor.  Five draft concepts were developed and approved for consultation at the joint local board and mana whenua workshop on 23 November 2016.  The five concepts are:

 

1.   protecting our future

2.   love your centre

3.   celebrate the story

4.   make way for the people

5.   a voice for youth.

 

7.       These draft concepts have formed the basis for the preparation of the integrated area plan. Feedback has been received in relation to the draft concepts and more generally about the future of the Manurewa, Takanini and Papakura centres.  The draft concepts were then used to inform the draft integrated area plan which was approved for consultation at the Manurewa Local Board business meeting on 16 March 2017 and subsequently on 22 March 2017 at the Papakura Local Board business meeting.

Community Engagement

8.       The integrated area plan has been prepared in collaboration with the Manurewa and Papakura Local Boards, Community Empowerment Unit, The Southern Initiative and other key internal and external stakeholders including mana whenua. It has also been prepared in consultation with the community and their feedback has helped to shape the content at every stage in the development of the document.

9.       For this plan a key focus was to engage locals who don't usually engage with the council, and to ask them what they want to see in the Manurewa, Papakura and Takanini areas, now and in the future.  In addition to the use of more conventional consultation and engagement techniques/approaches a digital platform ‘Share Your Ideas’ in partnership with the Manurewa Youth Council was launched to make it easier for people to contribute to the ideas for making these places better.

10.     There were two rounds of community feedback on the draft concepts through various methods and events from mid-December 2016 through until March 2017 and feedback on the draft integrated area plan from 3 April for a 6 week period until Friday 12 May 2017.

11.     Two highlights from the series of engagement events held in relation to the draft integrated area plan included:

·    "Streets to Places" event in Papakura. To celebrate the launch of the engagement, the project team in conjunction with the Papakura Local Board and Papakura Business Association closed part of Broadway on the Saturday 8 April to provide for a fun-filled street event.  The street closure event provided a platform to celebrate Papakura and promote the potential to make Broadway a permanent shared space for the community

e)             

·    "Rewa – Love our Centre" cultural event in Southmall Shopping Centre, Manurewa was held on Saturday 6 May.  This event gave an opportunity to explore the potential to revitalise Manurewa, promote the town centre identity and showcase art/culture in the centre.

 

12.     In addition a series of targeted stakeholder engagement events were held, including meetings with the Manurewa and Papakura Business Associations, workshops with the youth councils and online engagement with youth, meetings with resident and ratepayer groups, a pacific fono event and a lesson on town planning and place making with approximately 40 students at the Takanini School.

13.     Overall, more than 5,000 pieces of feedback from members of the community were received via a mixture of hard copy/online forms and through digital platforms.  Based on the analysis of the feedback collected, the largest ethnic group of respondents was NZ European at approximately 36% followed by Maori at approximately 30%, with the highest response received from those aged between15-34.

14.     The following provides a list of the most common themes that emerged for the three areas from the engagement:

a.   improve and upgrade use of existing spaces

b.   beautify our town centre

c.   promotion of heritage in our town centre

d.   safety and security

e.   community/social hubs

f.    introduce more free/affordable initiatives, events and festivals

g.   address social issues

h.   better roads, cycle ways and transport connections

i.    access to the waterfront in respect of Takanini and Papakura.

15.     This feedback was then used to further develop the plan and to work with stakeholders to determine the actions that are important to the community and to create an implementation plan.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

16.     The integrated area plan covers two local board areas, namely Manurewa Local Board and Papakura Local Board.

17.     The Manurewa and Papakura Local Boards are sponsoring the development of the integrated area plan.  A number of workshops and meetings have been held with the boards and with mana whenua during the preparation of the draft integrated area plan.

18.     A joint workshop with mana whenua representatives was held on 23 November 2016 to discuss the draft concepts on which the integrated area plan is based.  Following this workshop a number of changes to the draft concepts were made.

19.     On 1 March 2017 a joint workshop with both local boards and mana whenua representatives was held to present an overview of the draft integrated area plan and a summary of the feedback received to date which has shaped the draft document.  The draft document was then endorsed for public consultation on 16 March 2017 at the Manurewa Local Board business meeting and subsequently on 22 March 2017 at the Papakura Local Board business meeting.

20.     On 13 July 2017 a joint workshop with both local boards and mana whenua representatives was held to provide an opportunity to consider the implications of the feedback received, provide feedback/ideas on the delivery of the final plan including an implementation plan and provide direction on how the plan and its delivery might shape up.

21.     On 20 September 2017 a joint workshop with both local boards and to which mana whenua representatives were also invited, was held to work through the project priorities and seek to finalise the priorities / key projects.

22.     The local boards both individually and together will play a significant role in realising the integrated area plan’s future vision for the three respective centres and the corridor as a whole. The local boards’ roles may take many forms depending on the action, from direct investment in public works to advocating for positive changes.

Māori impact statement

23.     The process of engagement on the integrated area plan with mana whenua and mataawaka in the region has been developed in collaboration with The Southern Initiative and the Community Empowerment Unit.  The project team has been responsive to the requests of mana whenua in the development of the draft integrated area plan.

24.     An initial hui was held with representatives from Ngāti Tamatera, Ngāti Tamaoho, Ngāti Te Ata, and Te Ahiwaru on 14 September 2016.  At this hui it was requested that specialist staff from across the council group be invited to the next hui to discuss specific areas of interest i.e. water quality, community facilities and transport. The project team acknowledged this request and set up the next hui for 31 October 2016 with the relevant specialist staff present. Feedback from both of these hui shaped the draft concepts and subsequently the project priorities on which the draft integrated area plan is based.

25.     Mana whenua representatives have been sitting as a partner at the table with local board members at the workshops.  The first joint workshop with mana whenua representatives and local board members was held on 23 November 2016 at which the draft concepts were presented.  This joint approach has continued with all subsequent joint local board workshops to date (to which all iwi groups with interest in the area were invited) where an update on progress and presentation of a summary of the details of the draft integrated area plan has been provided.  There is a commitment to continue this approach throughout the implementation stage.

Implementation

26.     Working towards achieving the integrated area plan’s five key concepts and ultimately the plan’s outcomes involves not one singular group.  The preparation of the integrated area plan has required input from across the council group and beyond.  By having had a collaborative and inclusive process to the development of the integrated area plan will ensure that there is a commitment to deliver on the aspirations and actions upon adoption. To implement the actions of the integrated area plan will require commitment from a multitude of parties, including Auckland Council, Council Controlled Organisations, the local community, landowners, and developers.  Ultimately both local boards will have a key advocacy role to play in driving actions forward.  The integrated area plan will be subject to review and regular reporting on progress on actions to both local boards in conjunction with key stakeholders and delivery partners.

Manurewa Local Board Governance Forward Work Calendar - October 2017

 

File No.: CP2017/21858

 

  

 

Purpose

1.       To present to the Manurewa Local Board the six months Governance Forward Work Calendar.

Executive Summary

2.       This report introduces the Governance Forward Work Calendar: a schedule of items that will come before local boards at business meetings and workshops over the next six months. The Governance Forward Work Calendar for the Manurewa Local Board is included in Attachment A.

3.       The calendar aims to support local boards’ governance role by:

·    ensuring advice on agendas and workshop material is driven by local board priorities

·    clarifying what advice is required and when

·    clarifying the rationale for reports.

4.       The calendar will be updated every month, be included on the agenda for business meetings and distributed to relevant council staff. It is recognised that at times items will arise that are not programmed. Board members are welcome to discuss changes to the calendar.

 

 

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      note the attached Governance Forward Work Calendar as at 10 October 2017.

 

 

Comments

5.       The council’s Quality Advice Programme aims to improve the focus, analysis, presentation and timeliness of staff advice to elected representatives. An initiative under this is to develop forward work calendars for governing body committees and local boards. These provide elected members with better visibility of the types of governance tasks they are being asked to undertake and when they are scheduled.

6.       Although the document is new, there are no new projects in the Governance Forward Work Calendar. The calendar brings together in one schedule reporting on all of the board’s projects and activities previously approved in the local board plan, long-term plan, departmental work programmes and through other board decisions. It includes governing body policies and initiatives that call for a local board response.

7.       This initiative is intended to support the boards’ governance role. It will also help staff to support local boards, as an additional tool to manage workloads and track activities across council departments, and it will allow greater transparency for the public.

8.       The calendar is arranged in three columns, “Topic”, “Purpose” and “Governance Role”:

·    Topic describes the items and may indicate how they fit in with broader processes such as the annual plan

·    Purpose indicates the aim of the item, such as formally approving plans or projects, hearing submissions or receiving progress updates

·    Governance role is a higher-level categorisation of the work local boards do. Examples of the seven governance categories are tabled below.

Governance role

Examples

Setting direction/priorities/budget

Capex projects, work programmes, annual plan

Local initiatives/specific decisions

Grants, road names, alcohol bans

Input into regional decision-making

Comments on regional bylaws, policies, plans

Oversight and monitoring

Local board agreement, quarterly performance reports, review projects

Accountability to the public

Annual report

Engagement

Community hui, submissions processes

Keeping informed

Briefings, cluster workshops

 

9.       Board members are welcome to discuss changes to the calendar. The calendar will be updated and reported back every month to business meetings. Updates will also be distributed to relevant council staff.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

10.     All local boards are being presented with Governance Forward Work Calendars for their consideration.

Māori impact statement

11.     The projects and processes referred to in the Governance Forward Work Calendar will have a range of implications for Māori which will be considered when the work is reported.

Implementation

12.     Staff will review the calendar each month in consultation with board members and will report an updated calendar to the board.
