8.1 Presentation
from Transpower
|
|
Purpose
1. Selina
Corboy, Stakeholder Engagement Manager, Transpower NZ Ltd want to present the
work that they are doing on to support Auckland’s future growth and get
some feedback from the local board.
Executive summary
2. Earlier
this year Transpower, a state owned enterprise, that manages the national
grid that supplies electricity into Auckland before it gets distributed to
Vector and then households, established a dedicated project team to focus on
supporting Auckland’s future growth and communities and what it means
for the national grid. With the extensive work that is happening in Auckland
at the moment, they are taking a moment to look holistically at the grid and
what that may look like in the future.
3. To
do that, they feel it’s important to connect with the communities that
live in and around their assets. It will help provide a better understanding
of their values. Otara is certainly a very important community, as
there are some Transpower transmission lines running through the area and
they also have their Auckland office and substation in Otara.
4. Transpower
is currently presenting to other local boards and working with iwi/hapu too.
|
|
Recommendation/s
That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board thank Selina Corboy Stakeholder Engagement
Manager, Transpower NZ Ltd, for her presentation.
|
|

9.1 Vaka
Manu'kau Niue Community Trust - Casey Smith
|
|
Purpose
To discuss the land at
Aorere Park that Vaka Manu'kau Niue Community Trust
was given land owner approval to build a community
facility for the Niuean community. In 2014 they were given three years
to do this and so they now want to ask for an extension of 12 months and

Purpose
1. Silao Vaisola-Sefo, Chief
Executive, South Seas Healthcare Trust will be presenting
about the work and vision of the Trust and to build and maintain a
long-lasting relationship with the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board.
Executive summary
2. South
Seas has been in Otara for almost 20 years and their journey has always been
about meeting the needs of the people.
3. The
next phase of their journey is about hearing stories of the people
“from their eyes” and adapting their approach to not only meet
their short term needs, but establish and strengthen long-lasting
relationships with the community which last beyond service delivery, but this
starts with the residents of Otara.
4. As
part of bringing this to life, the Trust would love to build and maintain a
long-lasting relationship with the Otara-Papatoetoe Local board. Part of
their commitment going forward is to work closely with the Otara community,
through churches, schools, sports clubs and people who have grown up, lived
and are a part of the Otara neighbourhood.
|
|
Recommendation/s
That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board:

New community lease at 117R Bairds Road, Otara
File No.: CP2017/19735
Purpose
1. To approve a new community lease to Te-Pupu-Tahi-Tanga Ki Ōtara Incorporated for the building at
117R Bairds Road, Ōtara.
Executive summary
2. Community
leases are one of the ways in which the council provides support to local
community organisations, assisting them to sustain the
activities and experiences they provide in alignment with recognised local priorities.
3. For
the recommended lease, a process has been followed which includes a review of
the tenant’s performance, that the organisation is sustainable and the services and programmes offered are beneficial to the community.
4. Rooms
inside the building housing the Māori and Pacific Island wardens groups at
117R Bairds Road, Ōtara had previously been leased to each individual
warden group (Cook Island Māori, Māori, Niuean, Samoan and Tongan)
some informally and others with formal leases. The groups that had formal
leases had different term lengths. All of these leases have since
expired.
5. The
local board has worked with the warden groups and the separate warden groups
have now formed a single entity, Te‑Pupu-Tahi-Tanga Ki Ōtara
Incorporated. This new entity has applied for a lease for the entire
building.
6. It is recommended that a new lease be approved for the new entity
under the terms and conditions stated in the recommendations below.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board:
a) grants
a community lease, under Section 61 (2A)(a) of the Reserves Act 1977, to
Te-Pupu-Tahi-Tanga Ki Ōtara
Incorporated for the land and building at 117R Bairds Road, Otara (outlined
in yellow in Attachment A) under the following terms and conditions:
i) Term
– 5 years commencing 1 November 2017 with one five-year
right-of-renewal
ii) Rent
- $1.00 (+ GST) per annum, if demanded
iii) Annual
subsidised maintenance fee of $500 (+ GST)
iv) Te-Pupu-Tahi-Tanga
Ki Ōtara community outcomes plan, as approved, be attached to the lease
document (Attachment B)
b) Approve all other terms and conditions in accordance with the
Auckland Council Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012.
|
Comments
7. The
building at 117R Bairds Road, Ōtara has operated as a base for Māori
and Pacific Island warden groups since 1995 when the Manukau City Council
opened the building specifically for warden services from the Cook Island,
Māori, Niue, Samoan and Tongan communities of Ōtara.
8. The
property is described as all the land on Deposited Plan 55184 being Lot 56
(NA89C/13) and is held in fee simple by Auckland Council under the Reserves Act
1977 as an unclassified local purpose (community facilities) reserve. The
lease would be issued under section 61(2A)(a) of the Reserves Act 1977
(Attachment A – site map).
9. Between
the five individual warden groups there are currently 35 part-time and 10
full-time volunteer wardens patrolling Ōtara. The wardens undertake
patrols which include morning and afternoon patrols at local high schools and
assist with major events (e.g. ANZAC services, tangi, etc.). They also provide evening patrols of local hotels and
monitor local liquor outlets (this can include the lodging of objections to
liquor licenses and attending liquor licensing judicial hearings).
10. The
wardens work alongside the New Zealand Police, Ōtara Business Association
and the wider community assisting with welfare, advocacy, health and
education. In addition they provide translation services and support
youth in the court system.
11. The
most recent leases issued by the former Manukau City Council provided an
initial term of three years to individual warden groups within the
building. These leases expired in 2010.
12. The
local board and council staff have been working with the five Māori and
Pacific Island warden groups to bring them together as a single legal
entity. The new Te-Pupu-Tahi-Tanga Ki Ōtara Incorporated society was
formed and incorporated on 1 August 2016. The aims of the society include
the provision of multi-cultural warden services for Ōtara; to increase
safety in Ōtara and to work co-operatively with the New Zealand Police,
the local business community and welfare, health and education services in the
community.
13. The
Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012 outlines the standard terms and conditions
for community tenants. The guidelines recommend that tenants that occupy
a council-owned building be granted a lease term of five years with one
right-of-renewal for a further five years and an annual rental of one dollar (+
GST) if demanded. Tenants are also required to pay an annual subsidised maintenance fee that covers
building insurance and maintenance, including compliance costs associated with
the Building Warrant of Fitness (BWoF), and fire and egress codes. The
fee is calculated on the size of the building occupied. The Ōtara
wardens’ building is approximately 275 square metres which attracts an annual subsidised maintenance fee of $500 (+ GST).
14. A community outcomes plan (Attachment B) has been developed and agreed
to by the group. This identifies the benefits the group will provide to
the community and the measures that the group will report against on an annual
basis.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
15. The
recommendations within this report fall within local boards’ allocated
authority relating to the local, recreation, sports and community facilities.
16. Additionally, the recommendations also support the
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board Plan 2014 outcomes for thriving communities
together with parks and facilities that meet people’s needs.
Māori impact statement
17. Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under
Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its
broader legal obligations to Māori. Support for Māori initiatives and
outcomes are detailed in Te Toa Takitini, Auckland Council’s Māori Responsiveness Framework.
18. Community leases support a wide range of activities and groups and are
awarded based on an understanding of local needs, interests and
priorities. They create local benefits for many communities, including
Māori. Turehou
Māori Wardens are one of the five warden groups that operate from the
building, delivering services including work alongside kaumātua and kuia, providing services to marae for events, tangi, etc.
Implementation
19. All costs involved in the preparation of lease documents are borne
by Auckland Council.

Upcoming projects and activities of interest to the
board
Manukau Bus Station
4. A
site visit was carried out by a number of the local board members on 3 October
2017. Local board members were able to view firsthand the extent of the
progress on this project which on schedule to be opened in March/ April 2018.
5. Work
on the roof, glazing and exterior cladding are largely completed. The rain gardens
and the fitout of the 21 bus bays are currently underway.
6. A

building and covered link to the MIT/ Rail station.
7. The
work for the Putney Way portion of the development led by Auckland Panuku
street is currently being progressed with works expected to take place in
January of next year.
8. For
further information on the project, visit: https://at.govt.nz/projects-roadworks/manukau-bus.
Papatoetoe Station
- Electronic ticket gating project & pedestrian access closure
9. The
Auckland Transport (AT) programme to install electronic gates at various
stations across Auckland is currently being progressed at the Papatoetoe
Station. For Papatoetoe this will also mean the permanent closure of the
pedestrian crossing at the northern end of the station, which connects Shirley
Road with the AT customer Park and Ride carpark (off Station Road).
10. When
the pedestrian crossing is closed, the alternative access route to the station
platforms will be via the proposed new stairs or the ramp from Shirley Road
across the existing footbridge to Station Road.
11. This
is also in keeping with one of many AT initiatives to keep its customers safe,
especially school children who regularly cross the train tracks at Papatoetoe
Station.
12. From
10 December 2017, catching the Airporter 380 service from Papatoetoe Station
will get easier with services increasing in frequency, running every 15 minutes
rather than every half-hour. The Airporter 380 operates between Manukau,
Papatoetoe station, Auckland Airport, Mangere and Onehunga.
Regional and sub-regional projects
Southern
Corridor Improvements – Oram road bridge reopening
13. The
Southern Corridor Improvements project on Auckland’s Southern Motorway
(SH1) includes providing an additional lane southbound - with four lanes from
SH20 to Hill Road and three lanes from Hill Road to the Papakura
Interchange. In order to widen the SH1 southbound carriageway for the
additional (4th) lane, the eastern span of Orams Road Bridge was demolished and
a longer span constructed which allows space underneath for the fourth lane.
14. Over
the past five months, the project team have progressively demolished and
replaced the eastern span of the Orams Road Bridge. The bridge work is
now complete and the Orams Road Bridge is now open to traffic, pedestrians and
cyclists from Saturday 7 October 2017.
15. The
Puhinui Stream Bridge underpass, part of the national Te Araroa Walkway, is an
alternative pedestrian and cycle access across the motorway which was used
during the closure of the Orams Road Bridge. The underpass itself will now be
closed to enable the widening of the bridge and motorway in this location.
Orams Road Bridge will provide an alternative access across the motorway.
16. The
Puhinui Stream Bridge underpass will be closed from 15 October 2017 to April
2018.
Consultation
17. Auckland
Transport provides the local board with the opportunity to comment on transport
projects being delivered in this local board area.
18. In
the reporting period for September 2017, no projects were put forward for
comment by the local board.

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
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board will operate three
quick response and two local grants rounds for this financial year. Local
grants round one closed on 18 August 2018.
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
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board has set a total
community grants budget of $204,000 for the 2017/2018 financial year. The local
board amended the Arts, Community and Events work programme as follows:
That the Otara- Papatoetoe Local
Board: c) amend item 342 Community grants budget “Activity
description” column by adding, “Includes Pursuit of Excellence
Awards ($15k). (CP2017/05842). Therefore a total of $189,000 is
available to be allocated to community grants.
12. A
total of $30,670 has been allocated through quick response round one, leaving a
balance of $158,330 to be allocated for the remainder of the 2017/2018
financial year.
13. It
is recommended that the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local
Board consider allocating up to 42% of the community grants budget, or $80,000,
for local grants round one.
14. Thirty
five applications were received in local grants round one, requesting a total
of $253,461 (see Attachment B).
Consideration
Local board views and implications
15. Local
boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board
community grants. The Ōtara-Papatoetoe 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.
16. 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.”
17. A
summary of each application received through Local Grants Round One is
attached, see Attachment B.
Māori impact statement
18. 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.
One organisations applying in
this round have identified as Maori and eight have
indicated their project targets Maori or Maori outcomes.
Implementation
19. The
allocation of grants to community groups is within the adopted Long Term Plan
2015-2025 and local board agreements.
20. Following
the local board allocating funding for round one quick response, Commercial and
Finance staff will notify the applicants of the local board’s decision.

File No.: CP2017/19786
Purpose
1. To
update the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board on the Youth
Connections Local Governance Group (LGG) 2016/2017 work programme.
Executive summary
2. The
Youth Connections Local Governance Group (LGG) terms of reference outlines that
progress on work programme initiatives are presented to the
Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Boards every six months.
3. The
LGG has representatives from both local boards and has oversight of the
delivery and spend for Youth Connections activity across the two local board
areas.

during 2016/2017 included a driver licencing programme, development of a
YouthFull platform to support young people to become job ready, JobFest and

|
Recommendation/s
That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
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, comprising 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 Work Programme 2016/2017
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 become work-ready
and connect with 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 used
to engage youth and businesses for the JobFest held in Manukau in May 2017 and
almost 300 pitches were made for 71 job opportunities on the site in the lead
up to the event.
- Over 2000 people have engaged with the YouthFull platform, and it is
now being integrated into Youth Connections’ work-readiness courses to
complement the face-to-face elements of these programmes.
- YouthFull now has over 30 free online work readiness courses,
including a driver-licensing preparation course sponsored by Auckland Transport
to support Youth Connections other driver licensing work. The
Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara-Papatoetoe local boards have been
acknowledged for their contribution and investment.
· JobFest
- JobFest May 2017 was held in Manukau, and was the most successful
JobFest yet. Over 75 businesses and 1,400 people attended with a high turnout
from South Auckland areas (twenty one per cent of the youth were from
Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara-Papatoetoe). There were over 200
job outcomes from the event. Around 30 per cent of the youth attendees were
from the target ‘not in education employment or training’ (NEET)
group, which is the highest percentage over the past five years.
· 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.
- Youth from South Auckland were also able to participate in the iDEAStarter
young entrepreneur challenge run by ATEED in association with Youth
Connections. iDEAStarter received almost 200 entries from youth aged 15-24
across Auckland.
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:

16. Funding for the current financial year, 2017/2018, is confirmed from
both local boards ($60,000 per local board). This is formally reflected through
the Arts, Community and Events 2017/2018 work programmes (MO/2017/118 and
OP/2017/98)
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 years. Funding 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 oversees 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:
· Ōtara-Papatoetoe:
o Empowered,
inclusive and prosperous communities
o Honouring
youth and seniors
· Māngere-Ōtāhuhu
o A place where
everyone thrives and belongs
o A strong
local economy
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.: CP2017/21590
Purpose
1. The
purpose of this report is to update the Local Board on progress to date with
implementing actions identified in the Ōtara-Papatoetoe area plan and to bring to the Local Board’s
attention 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 Ōtara-Papatoetoe area plan
which was adopted by the council on 3 December 2014. 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 Ōtara-Papatoetoe
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.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board:
a) note
the update on progress achieved to date with delivering actions contained in
the Ōtara-Papatoetoe area
plan
b) note the commencement of spatial planning work as an input into Auckland Transport’s
business case investigating the provision of mass transit between the airport
and the city centre
|
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 Ōtara-Papatoetoe area plan
6. The
Ōtara-Papatoetoe 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 realisation
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.

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 Ōtara-Papatoetoe 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.

Land Owner Approval to extend building at 25R Othello
Drive, Israel Drainage Reserve, Otara
File No.: CP2017/21620
Purpose
1. To seek
approval from the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board to extend the existing
building from one-storey to two-storeys at 25R Othello Drive, Israel Drainage
Reserve, Ōtara.
Executive summary
2. Te
Kōhanga Reo National Trust Board had previously applied to council for
land owner approval to extend the existing childhood centre outwards onto
Israel Drainage Reserve. This was presented to the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local
Board during the September 2017 business meeting, where a decision was made to
defer until further investigation was completed regarding sightlines in the
park, flooding risk, reclassification of the reserve and to investigate the
potential to alter the proposed design to a two storey building.
3. Previous
concerns were raised by staff regarding the effect the building extension could
have on sightlines within the Israel Drainage Reserve. The previous extension
application to the existing building would have significantly impacted the
sightlines by boundary treatment and those changes to the alignment of the
footpath would not be an ideal outcome for pedestrians as the alignment would
have varied from the desired path meaning the footpath would have not be well
utilised.
4. The
flooding risk will be assessed by Auckland Council’s regulatory function
during the resource consent process. An initial assessment has identified this
will require engineering assessment on the potential effects of diverting the
existing overland flow path into neighbouring properties.
5. Te
Kōhanga Reo National Trust Board has been consulted about the option to
alter their design from a larger one storey building footprint to a smaller two
storey design that will limit the impact on the reserve. The Trust Board is
supportive of this. A copy of the proposed floor plan is attached to the
report.
6. Two
options were investigated to meet the gazettal requirements of the Reserves Act
as part of the application. The first will require the portion of the reserve
encroached on by the building extension to be reclassified. This process will
take approximately six months and cost approximately $5,000 to $10,000.
Alternatively Section 73 of the Reserves Act allows council to grant a lease
for activities on recreation reserves that are not of a recreational nature. A
lease can be granted for a five or ten year period. The approximate timeframe
will be three months and cost approximately $1000.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board:
a) approve
the land owner request from Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust Board to
extend the existing building at 25R Othello Drive from one storey to two
storeys within the existing lease boundary.
b) delegate
to the Manager Land Advisory Services, Community Facilities exercising their
delegation to execute the land owner approval.
|
Comments
7. The
initial land owner approval was presented to the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local
Board during the September 2017 business meeting. The local board requested
further information on sightlines in the park, flooding risk, reclassification
of the reserve and to investigate the potential to alter the proposed design to
a two storey building.
8. Te
Kōhanga Reo National Trust Board was previously proposing to extend the
building footing to accommodate more children on its roll. The current site
area is 723.13 square metres, and was proposed to increase to 934.37 square
metres. The existing building area is 184.49 square metres and was proposed to
increase to 274.89 square metres.
9. The
initial application was not supported by staff as the extension would result in
further encroachment onto reserve land, further limiting of existing
sightlines, and would result in a reduction in land for recreational amenity.
10. Reclassification
of a portion of Part Lot 216 from recreation reserve to local purpose
(community buildings) reserve will be required if the most recent two storey
proposal is approved. Section 24 (1) of the Reserves Act enables the council to
change the reserve classification to match the local community nature of Te Kōhanga
Reo activity and meet the requirements of the Act.
11. To
meet the gazettal requirements of the Reserves Act, the portion of the reserve
encroached on by the building extension will need to be defined by survey
office plan which would cost approximately $5000 to $10,000. Prior public
advertising which would cost approximately $1000 and local iwi consultation
will also be required prior to reclassification proceeding. The process will
take approximately six months to complete.
12. An
alternative option under the Reserves Act would be Section 73 (3). Section 73
of the Reserves Act allows activities on recreation reserves that are not of a
recreational nature. The council can grant a lease for five or ten years under
Section 73 (3), provided the council first advertises the lease as required
under Section 73 (4), and consults with iwi as required under Section 4 of the
Conservation Act 1987. This option is not so costly or time consuming and only
requires $1000 for the public notice. Community leasing staff can undertake
this by seeking consent from the local board. The approximate timeframe for
this would be three months.
13. Staff
from Safety and Urban Design Strategy Unit were consulted as part of the
application process and noted that the ideal outcome for the reserve would be
to relocate the building towards the south so that the footpath has a direct
route access to the street. Providing direct sightlines penetrating deeper into
the reserve from Othello Drive.
14. The
previous extension application to the existing building would have
significantly impacted the sightlines by boundary treatment. A possible
mitigation for this was for visually permeable fencing on the side and back of
the building which will improve sightlines and passive surveillance onto the
footpath both from the street and within the building. This is also recommended
under the new extension design. Any change to the alignment of the footpath
would not be an ideal outcome for pedestrians. If the alignment varies much
from the desired path then the footpath will not be well utilised.
15. Regarding
the corner on the western edge of the building, the proposed realignment of the
footpath is a desirable distance from the corner of the building and
potentially a safer distance from an actual or perceived threat from antisocial
behaviour. Staff have suggested a possible solution to the corner could be
appropriate landscaping that fills the space so the space does not providing a
‘hiding space’.
16. A
preliminary assessment by Healthy Waters staff has identified the outlet
structure at the rear of the centre flows away from the centre. Due to the
location of the building extension it is likely to require engineering
assessment. This is due to the narrowing of the overland flow path that
currently runs through the park, causing potential diversion onto neighbouring
properties. Through the resource consent process the applicant will have to
adequately address the stormwater effects on the park by extending the building
footprint. This issue will be investigated through the resource consent
process. From a land owner perspective the increase in building footprint will
have minimal impact on the park.
17. The
Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust Board has been consulted regarding the
change from a larger building footprint to a two storey building design within
the existing lease boundary. They are supportive of this design pending its
approval.
18. The
recommendation to approve the application supports strategic alignment to the Ōtara-
Papatoetoe Local Board Plan 2014 outcome 5: Our communities work together to
improve community safety and neighbourhood amenity, promote leisure activities
and the arts, and celebrate heritage and cultural diversity.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
19. Part
lot 216 DP 76719 (Bare land) will be required to be reclassified under the
Reserves Act 1977 from Recreation Reserve to Local Purpose (Community
Buildings) to provide for the change in activity which is not of a recreational
nature. This process will require the Ōtara- Papatoetoe Local Board to
approve the reclassification and the public notification process. The Community
Facilities Department would cover the costs if funds are available as it is the
department’s policy to not charge community groups the reclassification
fees.
20. Local
boards have the delegated decision-making authority to approve any application
for landowner consent that is referred to the local board for a decision by the
nominated local board portfolio holder and to grant leases within local
community facilities in line with the Community Occupancy Guidelines.
Māori impact statement
21. Engagement
with iwi identified as having an interest in the land in the Ōtara-
Papatoetoe Local Board geographical area will be required as part of the
proposal to alter the lease area.
22. At
this time iwi have not been consulted as approval in principle from the Ōtara-
Papatoetoe has been sought first.
23. Council staff will
undertake engagement with mana whenua regarding the extension to the childhood
centre. This will involve email contact containing detailed information and
inviting iwi representatives to hui and or for a kaitiaki site visit to comment
on any spiritual, cultural or environmental impacts with respect to the
proposal. Nine iwi have been identified as having interest in the site.
Implementation
24. If
approval for the proposed building extension is granted, council’s land
advisory and community leasing staff will work with Te
Kōhanga Reo o Te Kupenga to finalise the
land owner approval and community lease.
25. The
costs associated with public notification and engagement with iwi about
council’s intention to grant a new community lease may be met by
Community Facilities Department. This will require approval from the Manager,
Land Advisory Services.
26. The
costs associated with the reclassification of the recreation reserve may be met
by the Community Facilities Department. This will require the Ōtara-
Papatoetoe Local board to endorse a report to the Minister of Conservation
delegate for approval.
27. Council
staff will report back to the local board (prior to public notification of
council’s intention to grant a new community lease to Te
Kōhanga Reo o Te Kupenga on Israel Drainage Reserve).

Review of representation arrangements - process
File No.: CP2017/21781
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 the 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.

Recommendation/s
That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board:
a) provide
its comments on the proposed process for conducting the review of
representation arrangements.

Panuku Development Auckland Local Board Six-Monthly
Update 1 March to 31 August 2017
File No.: CP2017/19223
Purpose
1. To give the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board an overview of Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) activities
within the local board area for the six months 1 March to 31 August 2017.
Background
2. Panuku was
established in September 2015 as a result of the merger of two Council
Controlled Organisations – Waterfront Auckland and Auckland Council
Property Limited (ACPL).
3. Panuku helps to
rejuvenate parts of Auckland – from small projects that refresh a site or
building, to major transformations of town centres or neighbourhoods.
4. Panuku manages
around $2 billion of council’s property portfolio, which we continuously
review to find smart ways to generate income for the region, grow the portfolio
or release land or property that can be better used by others.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board:
a) note the Panuku Development Auckland Local
Board update 1 March to 31 August 2017.
|
Local
Activities
Development
5. Panuku is
contributing commercial input into approximately 50 region-wide council-driven
renewal and housing supply initiatives.
6. Panuku works
with partners and stakeholders over the life of projects. It also champions
best practise project delivery to achieve best value outcomes within defined
cost, time, and quality parameters.
7. Below is a high-level
update on development activities in the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board area:
8. Transform Manukau - In December 2015, the Auckland Development Committee
(ADC, now Planning Committee) approved Manukau Metropolitan Centre as one of
two new Panuku-led ‘transform’ locations. Manukau is also an
Auckland Council Spatial Priority Area, as well as being the centre of The
Southern Initiative (TSI).
9. In April 2016 the ADC approved a Transform
Manukau High Level Project Plan (HLPP) produced by Panuku. This approval gave
Panuku the mandate to leverage Council’s significant landholdings and
facilities within a 600ha project area to bring about effective and coherent
urban regeneration. This approval also gave Panuku the authority to commence
work on a Framework Plan for the area.
10. The focus in
the first half of 2017 was primarily on completing the Framework Plan,
progressing processes to engage a developer for the 20 Barrowcliffe Place land,
place making activities in central Manukau, maintaining dialogue with the Crown
on collaborative opportunities and preparing a Programme Business Case to agree
the priorities for action and potential reinvestment opportunities. Panuku also
continued to develop extensive stakeholder engagement processes through this
period.
11. The Framework
Plan was completed and presented to Council for approval. It sets out a wide
range of potential investment and development opportunities that can be further
evaluated and scoped as the project proceeds. It is a valuable reference
document.
12. 20 Barrowcliffe
Place is an early development opportunity for Transform Manukau. We are looking
to achieve a number of outcomes for the people of Manukau through successful
development of the site. Some of the outcomes we are looking to deliver
include: a mixed housing scheme of houses and apartments, with a portion being
affordable, good urban design with sustainable and accessible design
components as well as environmental enhancement. We are still working through a
process to determine who will deliver these outcomes for the site and the
community.
13. Place making
activities were carried out regularly in the Manukau town centre. These
culminated in the Matariki events in June/July, with an extended offer to the
2016 installations. On the evenings of June 30, July 1 and July 2, the Civic
Building was again lit with the Matariki colours, to coincide with the closing
dates of the Auckland Council Matariki Festival, as well as celebrate the
architecture of the structure. In trials for what we hope will be the
basis for our 2018 Matariki contribution, the building was “projection
mapped” on July 7 and 8 with content from artists who have all hailed
from South Auckland - Allen Vili, Ali Cowley and Te Iwihoko Te Rangihirawea. In
addition some 30 haiku on the topic of Matariki, and written by local school
children were included in the art work.
14. The timing of
the funding request to council to enable start up activities was not included
in the 2017 LTP process and is now being considered after this reporting
period. The Board will be fully updated as progress is made.
15. Unlock Old
Papatoetoe – Old Papatoetoe represents an opportunity to provide for
housing development at scale within a suburban town centre environment. Council
owns 8.4 ha of land in the town centre. The transport links, local amenity,
zoning, Local Board, Mana Whenua and wider community all support quality
development in this location. It is expected that the desirability of Old
Papatoetoe as a place to live and invest will continue to grow.
16. The Panuku
board approved an HLPP for this project in March 2017. The HLPP was approved by
the Planning Committee in July 2017. A public version of the plan has also been
prepared. The project continues through the implementation phase.
17. A number of the
discrete projects listed below fall under the Unlock Old Papatoetoe projects
detailed above.
18. Unlock Old
Papatoetoe - 91 Cambridge Terrace, Papatoetoe – This is being
considered as a potential residential site. Panuku are considering locations
for the existing tenants and the outcome of the Tavern Lane site before
commencing marketing. As part of this project Panuku is supporting the upgrade
of 35 St George Street.
19. Unlock Old
Papatoetoe - Tavern Lane, Papatoetoe Town Centre – A preferred
development partner has been selected and the development agreement is being
negotiated.
20. Unlock Old
Papatoetoe - 17 St George Street, Papatoetoe – This site has now been
cleared for sale. If not required as part of the development of the Tavern
site, it will likely be marketed for sale. The building requires earthquake
upgrading.
21. Unlock Old
Papatoetoe - 21 Wallace Road, Papatoetoe (Car park & Supermarket) - The
need to co-ordinate with the upgrade of the Supermarket to limit disruption to
the town centre requires this work to commence mid-February 2018.
22. Unlock Old
Papatoetoe - 63-65 St George Street, Papatoetoe (Shopping Mall) –
Work continues on the Mall and it is really starting to look great. Due to
program delays completion of Stage 2 of the Mall is now scheduled for March
2018.
Portfolio
Management
23. Panuku manages ‘non-service’
property owned by Council and AT that is not currently needed for service or
infrastructure purposes. These are properties not immediately required for
delivery of a council service or infrastructure development, but are being held
for use in planned future projects, such as road construction, the expansion of
parks or development of future town centres.
24. The property
portfolio comprises 1437 properties, containing 1119 leases, as at 31 August
2017. The current portfolio includes vacant land, industrial buildings,
warehouses, retail shops, cafes, offices, medical centres, and a large
portfolio of residential rental homes.
25. The return on
the property portfolio for the period ending 30 June 2017 was above budget,
with a net surplus to Auckland Council and AT shareholders of $1.1 million
ahead of budget.
26. The average
monthly tenantable occupancy rate, for the six month period, is more than 98
per cent, which is above the SOI target of 95 per cent.
Properties
managed in the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board area
27. Panuku currently manages
37 commercial and residential properties within the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local
Board area:

leasable units however is counted as one property.
Business interests
28. Panuku also optimises the
commercial return from business interests it manages on council’s behalf.
This is comprised of two forestry enterprises, two landfills and four
quarries.
29. There are currently such
no managed business interests in the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board area.
Portfolio
strategy
Optimisation
30. The Auckland Council
Long-term Plan 2015-2025 reflects a desire of council to materially reduce
or slow down expenditure, and unlock value from assets no longer required, or
which are sub-optimal for service purposes. In response to this, prior to
the establishment of Panuku, ACPL developed a new method of dealing with
service property, called optimisation.
31. Asset optimisation deals
with ‘service property’. It is self-funding, it maximises
efficiencies from service assets, and maintains levels of service, whilst
releasing property for sale or development. A key element of optimisation is
that the sale proceeds are locally reinvested, to advance approved projects and
activities on a cost-neutral basis. It does not include the Auckland Transport
portfolio. Panuku continues to advance this programme of work. This includes
the development of a cross-council project to coordinate and execute asset
sales and optimisation.
Portfolio review and rationalisation
Overview
32. Panuku is required to
undertake ongoing rationalisation of council’s non-service
assets. This includes identifying properties from within council’s
portfolio that may be suitable for potential sale, and development if
appropriate. Panuku has a particular focus on achieving housing and urban
regeneration outcomes. Identifying potential sale properties contributes to the
Auckland Plan focus of accommodating the significant growth projected for the
region over the coming decades, by providing council with an efficient use of
capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities and projects.

22R Clyde Road, Otara
|
Vacant land classified as a recreation
reserve subject to the Reserves Act 1977.
An enquiry from the neighbouring
property owner regarding ongoing property maintenance issues and potentially
purchasing the site resulted in a review by Council’s Parks and
Recreation Policy department, which assessed the site as not required for
open spaces purposes.
Panuku commenced the rationalisation
process. No alternate service uses for the subject site were identified
during the internal consultation.

Regional Activities
Highlights
52. Over the year,
Panuku achieved key project milestones and performance results in our priority
development locations. Panuku categorises three types of priority locations:
53. Transform
locations – Panuku ‘Transforms’ locations by creating
change through urban regeneration. Panuku leads the transformation of select
parts of our region; working alongside others and using our custodianship of
land and planning expertise. The catalytic work Waterfront Auckland led at
Wynyard Quarter is a great example of the transformation of urban locations.
54. Unlock
locations – Panuku also ‘Unlocks’ development potential
for others. By acting as a facilitator; using relationships to break down
barriers and influence others, including our council family, to create
development opportunities.
55. Support
locations – Panuku plays a ‘Support’ role to ensure
council is making the most of what it already has. Intensification is a key
driver in the Auckland Plan. Panuku will support housing demands by enabling
development of council-owned land.
Transform locations
56. The Wynyard
Quarter is undergoing rapid change both commercially and residentially,
with thousands of Aucklanders using this space every week, while regeneration
is just beginning in Manukau and Onehunga.
a) The
first three phases of structural steel have been installed at the Park Hyatt
Hotel. All up, approximately 2000 tonnes of primary structural steel will be
used to construct the luxury five-star hotel, which will span a total area of
37,000sqm.
b) In
April 2017, Mayor Phil Goff officially opened the Mason Bros. building, a
former industrial warehouse that has been redeveloped into a three-level office
space, bringing together a community of entrepreneurs and businesses. It is the
centrepiece of Wynyard Quarter’s innovation precinct.
c) Developer
Willis Bond is constructing 500-600 apartments of various types and sizes that
are set to house around 1100 people. There are two developments currently under
construction, Wynyard Central and 132 Halsey. The first residents are expected
to move in from September 2017.
d) In
June 2017, Panuku handed over to Regional Facilities Auckland (RFA) the
management of the Queens Wharf facilities, including Shed 10 and The Cloud.
Panuku continues to lead the delivery of place making and the future
development of the wharf.
57. Plans to Transform Onehunga, on a
similar scale to Wynyard Quarter and Manukau, were approved in March 2017.
These plans were completed involving significant consultation with communities.
Panuku is leading the redevelopment of strategic council-owned land, and works
in partnership with the Government and others, to deliver positive outcomes for
the local community. The Board of Inquiry relating to the East West link is
currently going through a hearing process. A draft decision is expected to be
made in October and will be finalised in November. This will contain numerous
conditions of consent. Once the decision is known, Panuku can advance planning
on the Onehunga wharf and foreshore precinct.
Unlock locations
58. In Takapuna, Auckland Council owns
nearly four hectares of land focused around the Anzac Street carpark and the
Gasometer site, consultation on redevelopment of these sites has started.
59. In Northcote, we completed a
Framework Plan in November 2016 that outlines the initial proposals for the
town centre. An information kiosk was also opened by Homes Land Community in
April. The town centre masterplan and the Awataha Greenway masterplan is
targeted for completion in December 2017.
60. Plans to repurpose the iconic Civic
Administration Building in Aotea Square into high quality apartments and
develop the surrounding area were announced in September 2016, apartment sales
are progressing well.
61. Hobsonville 20ha Airfields site - stage one of construction of 102
standalone and terrace homes is underway. Avanda Group have been announced as
the developers that will deliver more than 500 homes in stage two, of which a
minimum of 10 per cent will be affordable housing.
62. With the
overall plan for Henderson being approved in May 2017, the vision for
Henderson is for it to grow into an urban eco-centre. This vision will guide
planning and development with an outcome towards ‘liveable growth’
by creating a safe, attractive and vibrant mixed-use environment with a
uniquely west Auckland identity.
63. The regeneration of Avondale has
been upgraded from a Support location to an Unlock. A HLPP is underway,
identifying opportunities within the development area. Ockham has commenced the
construction of 72 apartments on Racecourse Parade, with 10 percent of the
apartments being affordable. Panuku also sold a site in Avondale to Housing New
Zealand in December 2016 which allowed for the development of 103 social
housing units
64. A development agreement was signed with
Todd Property for the delivery of more than 350 homes in Flat Bush, Ormiston.
In December 2016, Panuku sold a site at 187 Flat Bush School Road for a 30-lot
subdivision.
Support locations
65. The Mariner Rise subdivision at 20 Link
Crescent, Whangaparoa has been completed by our development partner
McConnell Property along with the delivery of a 2700sqm park and playground.
Sixty new homes will be built on this new subdivision.

Public alerting framework for Auckland
File No.: CP2017/19780
Purpose
1. To
provide information on the Public Alerting Framework for Auckland. The report
also provides the results of an analysis carried out by GNS Science,
identifying communities at risk from tsunami across Auckland.
2. In
addition, the report also seeks in-principle support for the proposed
enhancement of Auckland’s tsunami siren network.
Executive summary
3. In
February 2017, the Auckland Civil Defence and Emergency Management (CDEM) Group
Committee endorsed the draft Public Alerting Framework for Auckland.
4. Following
on from this, crown research agency, GNS Science was commissioned to provide an
analysis of those communities most at risk from tsunami within the orange and
red tsunami evacuation zones.
5.
The GNS report and the Public Alerting Framework was presented to local boards
in workshop sessions. Auckland Emergency Management is asking local boards for
in principle support for the Public Alerting Framework and for an enhanced
tsunami siren network.
6. Next
steps involve procurement and design of tsunami siren and signage. Further
information will be presented to local boards in due course.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board:
a) note
the approach to public alerting as outlined in the Public Alerting Framework
for Auckland (Attachment A).
b) provide in-principle support for the development of an enhanced
and expanded regional tsunami siren network, noting that further information
on design, placement and other considerations for the network will be
reported in due course.

Tsunami risk for Auckland
7. A tsunami is a natural phenomenon consisting
of a series of waves generated when a large volume of water in the sea, or in a
lake, is rapidly displaced[1].
Tsunami threats pose a risk to New Zealand and to Auckland. Occurrence rates of
tsunami are higher in the Pacific than for other oceans because of the
"Ring of Fire".[2]
Tsunami waves are most commonly caused by underwater earthquakes. In
addition, these events have the potential to cause multiple other hazards
including but not limited to; fire, fault line ruptures, coastal inundation,
landslides, lifeline utility failures and serious health issues.[3] The
Tonga-Kermadec trench is one of the Earth’s deepest trenches, and is
Auckland’s highest risk for tsunami. Auckland is susceptible to regional
and distant source tsunami, that is, tsunami generated from earthquakes in and
around the Pacific Rim with travel time more than 1 hour as well as locally
generated tsunami. Tsunami can be categorised as local, regional or distant
based on their travel time or distance to the Auckland coastline.
· Local source – less than 1 hour travel time. These tsunamis
can be generated by offshore faults, underwater landslide or volcanic activity.
· Regional source – Earthquakes in and around the Pacific
Islands and the Tonga-Kermadec Trench 1 to 3 hours travel time to Auckland
· Distant source – Commonly generated by a large earthquake from
any location around the Pacific Rim including but not limited to South America,
Japan, the Aleutian Islands and Alaska. The travel time to Auckland will be 3
hours or greater. [4]
Figure 1: This map shows the position of
New Zealand in the Pacific Ocean within an area of intense seismic activity
called the ‘Ring of Fire’. Source: GNS Science
Tsunami
sirens
5. Currently,
Auckland has 44 fixed tsunami warning sirens across nine sites in legacy Rodney
and Waitakere. These sirens were installed in 2008 and 2010 and do not meet
current government technical standards[5]
for tsunami warning sirens. All new and existing siren installations will need
to meet these standards by June 2020.
6. Auckland Emergency Management
is currently investigating the upgrading of its existing siren network from
‘tone-only’ sirens to those with PA/voiceover loudspeaker
capability. The sirens have a strong immediate effect and can prompt immediate
action to seek further information. There are valuable benefits in using
tsunami sirens, in particular, sirens can be used when other communications
(e.g. cell phones and radio broadcasting) may not have the maximum reach or be
as effective. It is commonly accepted across the emergency management sector that
effective public alerting systems are those that take a holistic view. This
being said, public alerting needs to be well planned, understood, and in
conjunction with effective public education information and campaigns. This is
imperative for a regionally consistent approach to public alerting that
communities can use and understand.
7. The limited locations of the
present tsunami siren systems have been identified as a gap in the public
alerting capabilities of Auckland region. Presently, Auckland is not well
represented by tsunami sirens with the estimated reach of Auckland’s
current sirens being only eight per cent of the ‘at-risk’
population. Auckland’s tsunami siren network is currently being
considered for enhancement and expansion through the delivery of the Public
Alerting Framework
Public Alerting Framework
8. Auckland Council has
recognised the need for a regionally consistent approach to public alerting
through the adoption of the Public Alerting Framework. The Framework, which was
approved for consultation with local boards in February 2017, has been designed
to:
· explain what public alerting in a CDEM sense is, what it can and
cannot do;
· give detail on the range of channels for public alerting currently
available in Auckland;
· highlight the advances being taken with regards to public alerting
at a national level;
· provide some commentary on tsunami sirens, their uses and
limitations; and
· assist with decisions taken by the Auckland CDEM Group Committee,
local boards and partners and stakeholders with regards to the prioritisation
of budgets and options for enhancing public alerting across the Auckland
region.
9. Auckland
Council recognises the need to enhance the public alerting network, and as
such, has allocated funds from the Long-Term Plan for this venture. This
funding provides a starting point for consultation on the future of
Auckland’s tsunami siren network and the enhancement of public alerting.
10. It
is important to understand that no one public alerting system is without fault.
The Public Alerting Framework focusses on the use of multi-platforms,
understanding that a holistic approach is one that maximises the reach of
public alerting in an emergency or hazard event. Through this project,
prioritised public education is critical. Without effective public education
and engagement activities, sirens alone are not considered a standalone
approach to public alerting.
GNS Science report
Introduction and methodology
11. Following
the endorsement of the Public Alerting Framework, crown research agency GNS
Science was contracted to complete an independent analysis (see Appendix B) of
those communities most at-risk of tsunami.
12. A
GIS based analysis was used to calculate the number of exposed residents in
communities. The analysis used 2013 census population data to identify
the number of residents located in the red and orange tsunami evacuation zones.
(see Figure 2.) For further detail on the evacuation zones and the methodology
please see Appendix B.
Figure 2. Auckland red and orange tsunami evacuation zones as used
in the GNS Science analysis
Results
13. The
results of the analysis carried out by GNS Science identified 217 communities
at-risk from tsunami. For all 217 communities modelled, there are a total of 49,853
people at-risk from tsunami in the orange and red evacuation zones. For
detailed information on the results of this analysis including detail on those
communities at risk of tsunami please refer to the report from GNS Science at
Appendix B.
Next steps
14. Workshops have been held with local boards across the region in
order to share the results of the GNS Science report and the intention to
implement an enhanced and expanded regional tsunami siren network. This report
seeks in-principle support for this enhanced and expanded network. More
information on design, placement and other considerations for the network will
be reported in due course
Consideration
Local
board views and implications
15. Workshops
on tsunami risk were held with local boards in 2016. Following the
development of the Public Alerting Framework further information on tsunami
risk, including the results of the GNS Science report, were shared with local
boards between July and October 2017. Local boards were told that
in-principle support for the enhanced and expanded tsunami siren network would
be sought at formal business meetings of local boards.
16. As
key decision makers representing local communities, local board input into this
important project will continue.
Māori impact statement
17. There
are no particular impacts on Maori communities which are different from the
general population arising from this report. The Public Alerting
Framework for Auckland notes the importance of community resilience, of
reaching all members of the community and of having systems in place to ensure
that public alert messages are understood and ubiquitous.
Implementation
18. Once in-principle support has been achieved, procurement and design
of tsunami siren and signage will be undertaken.

Feedback on the proposed direction of the draft Waste
Management and Minimisation Plan
File No.: CP2017/21673
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 Ōtara-Papatoetoe
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.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe
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:
d) pay-as-you-throw domestic refuse collections, which will be
progressively introduced across the region
e) rates funding, and
f)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.

Comments
7. The
Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 requires local boards to produce
and adopt a local board plan every three years. This means that the
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board Plan 2017 must be adopted by 31 October 2017.
8. Local
board plans are strategic plans for the following three years and beyond. The
plans reflect the priorities and preferences of the community. They guide how
the local board:
· makes
decisions on local activities and projects
· provides
input into regional strategies and policies.
9. The
plans form the basis for development of the annual local board agreement for
the following three financial years and subsequent work programmes. They also
inform the development of council’s 10-year budget.
10. Under
Section 83 of the Local Government Act 2002 local boards are required to use
the special consultative procedure in adopting their local board plan. The
consultation period ran from 22 May to 30 June 2017.
11. Submissions
were made through the following channels and coded together:
· online
form available on the Shape Auckland website
· hard
copy form included in the household summary document
· via
email or post.
12. In
total 195 submissions were received on the draft Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board Plan 2017. In addition, 40-50 people provided feedback
at engagement events and there were 18 pieces of feedback gathered through
Facebook.
Consideration of submissions and feedback
13. The
board has considered the submissions and feedback gathered. The board received
data analysis and all submissions and feedback on 15 August 2017 and held a
workshop to discuss this on 22 August 2017. Advice was sought from staff on
matters raised in the submissions and feedback and this is reflected in the
table below.
14. Public
feedback on the draft plan was generally positive. Only about 8% of
respondents said they thought the plan was on the wrong track. Some
feedback was given concerning a variety of things people didn’t like
about the draft or thought were missing. These mention specific instances
of issues covered broadly in the plan: specific polluted streams, fencing
of particular playgrounds, park maintenance issues, and social service needs,
which the board can address in its annual work programmes. The local
board plan does not need to contain that level of detail.
15. There
were two large blocks of submissions from organised groups on particular
topics: 104 submitters called for an end to spraying of chemical
herbicides on streets; and 39 other submitters asked for support for a group
called “Fit-life” and building of a dome to house Fit-life
activities. Smaller groups supported projects such as floodlights and
artificial turf at Papatoetoe Recreation Reserve, and facility upgrades for
Ngati Ōtara and East Tamaki Reserve.
16. Key
feedback points are outlined in the table below. Analysis of these points, and
any resulting substantive proposed changes to the outcome chapters, are in the
corresponding columns.
|
Key public feedback points
|
Analysis
|
Proposed changes
|
|
Submitters ranked projects in the plan in this order
of importance:
1. New changing rooms and ablution block on Kingswood
Reserve
2. Artificial surface sports field at Papatoetoe
Recreation Reserve
3. Children’s playground at Hayman Park
4. Refurbishment of Papatoetoe Town Hall
5. Rongomai Park- New sandcarpet playing surface.
|
All five projects are mentioned in the plan. Feedback
was invited to gauge priorities. Ngāti-Otara multisport complex
now needs to be added to the priority list. Submitters were not asked
to rank Ngāti-Otara, because it was assumed it was almost ready to
start. A revised longer timeline makes it appropriate for the board to
include Ngāti-Otara in the chairs message listing of the top three
priority projects. The Hayman Park project can be given a higher
priority than the artificial surface, for which support appeared to have come
mainly from user groups.
|
Amend the Chairs message to list these three top
priority projects:
• Ngāti-Otara
multisport complex
• new changing room and
ablution block on Kingswood Reserve
• playground at Hayman Park.
Amend Outcome 3 text to reflect these priorities.
|
|
The idea to develop Manukau Sports Bowl into an
athletics sports centre, received 50% support, with the same number who
disagreed or were unsure.
|
Outcome 1 of the plan includes a refresh of the
Manukau Sports Bowl Masterplan, in partnership with Panuku. There is
sufficient support for the athletics centre idea to explore it further in the
context of the masterplan refresh.
|
No change to plan.
|
|
Submission calling for our parks and facilities to be
fit for purpose
|
This is already covered in Outcome 3 of the plan.
|
No change to plan.
|
|
104 submitters expressed their opposition to using
chemical herbicides on streets.
|
There are practical and financial barriers to
this. Outcome 4 already proposes to work with the governing body to
identify alternatives to herbicides to control pest plants on council
land. This is as far as it is practical for the board to go at present.
|
No change to plan.
|
|
Submissions supported a variety of free and accessible
activities in the fields of education and health and fitness for our older
people, to yield social and health benefits. Other identified needs of
older people were better transport and safety.
|
Events and activities for seniors are referred under
Outcome 6. Outcome 6 can be strengthened along the lines requested in
the submission. Reference to transport needs for elderly can also be made
under Outcome 7.
|
Acknowledge under Outcome 6 and 7 that issues for
seniors include housing, health, safety, social isolation and access to
public transport. Add “We will continue to advocate to Police and
other agencies to improve safety and the well-being of seniors.”
|
|
Waikato-Tainui Iwi Authority asked that the plan
provide for “Partnering with iwi to achieve iwi outcomes.”
recognition of settled claims and outstanding treaty claims, along with some
other aspects specific to the submitter.
|
The Working with Māori
section already strongly supports the idea of partnership with iwi. This can
be reinforced by adding a reference to the relationship agreement template
and process. The plan should not single out groups for special mention,
such as those that have finalised Treaty settlements. The board is
aware that most groups who have not settled are close to doing so. The
board accepts it would be useful for the plan to list the mana whenua groups
who have identified interests in the local board area.
|
Add to the “Working with Māori”
section, a reference to recently approved relationship agreement template and
process. Also add a list of the mana whenua groups who have identified
interests in the local board area.
|
|
39 submitters asked for support for a group called
“Fit-life” and building of a dome to house Fit-life activities.
|
The merits of this suggestion can be considered under
the Manukau Sports Bowl masterplan refresh. It is unlikely that local
board funding would be available to build a dome in the foreseeable future,
even if it was found to have merit, given the board’s other priorities.
|
No change to plan.
|
|
Pacific Smokefree Network advocated for the plan to
include support for Smokefree outcomes.
|
The board has a long history of advocating for
Smokefree. Its omission from the draft plan was an oversight, and
suitable text should be added to Outcome 5.
|
Add under outcome 5, a stronger stance in support of
Smokefree outcomes.
|
17. Some
submissions drew the board’s attention to the need for better wording in
some parts of the draft plan. Numerous improvements to general style,
wording, grammar and presentation have been made throughout the plan in
response to these.
18. Some
new advocacy and projects within existing outcomes and objectives of the draft
plan came to the board’s attention after the draft plan was
published. These have been added:
· Explore
opportunities under the council’s “optimisation policy” to
sell selected land, buildings, or airspace, and use the proceeds to redevelop
other community assets (Outcome 3)
· Advocate
for the council’s local alcohol policy to be made operative (Outcome 5)
· Explore
opportunities to create a youth hub (Outcome 6)
· Advocate
to Auckland Transport to realign Station Road/ Portage Road/ Gray Avenue
intersection (Outcome 7)
· Advocate
to the Governing Body and Auckland Transport for route protection for mass
transit, including light rail transit, from the airport to Manukau and on to
Botany. (Outcome 7.)
Changes to the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board Plan
2017
19. The
draft Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board Plan 2017, incorporating the proposed
changes to the outcome chapters as described in the above table, is in
Attachment A.
20. Other
minor changes, made for the purposes of clarification, are also included in the
attached document.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
21. The
local board’s views have driven the development of the plan attached to
this report.
22. In
developing the plan, the board considered:
· what
we already know about our communities and what is important to them
· submissions
received via online forms, hardcopy forms, emails and post as well as feedback
provided by people at engagement events and gathered through Facebook
· regional
strategies and policies. The Auckland Plan and Auckland Unitary Plan, I
Am Auckland status report, Panuku Development Auckland plans for Manukau and
Papatoetoe, Whiria Te Muka Tangata (the Māori Responsiveness Framework),
along with research by the Southern Initiative were of particular importance.
· staff
advice
· stakeholder
views from community groups, mana whenua and mataawaka.
Māori impact statement
23. As
part of developing the plan, the board have:
a. considered
views expressed by mana whenua authorities at a sub-regional governance level
hui on 27 June 2017 with Ngāti Tamaoho, Ngāti Whanaunga and
Ngāti Whatua representatives. The mains points of their feedback
were:
· Mana whenua will
continue to raise matters within the local board plans that they would like to
further engage on
· On-going monthly
mana whenua/local board representative meetings should be continued
· Noted that Māori Input into Local Board decision-making project has
eight jointly agreed actions for mana whenua and local boards
b. considered
pre-existing feedback from Māori within the local board area
c. engaged
with mataawaka by holding a joint local board hui at the Manurewa Marae on 29
June 2017
d. received
a written submission, presented by the Waikato-Tainui Iwi Authority on 15
August 2017. This submission is referred to in the table above.
e. The
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board Plan 2017 promotes outcomes or issues of
importance to Māori by:
· Māori
input into local board decision making project
· working
within Whiria Te Muka Tangata / Māori Responsiveness Framework
· Mana
whenua relationship agreements
· supporting
rangatahi leadership and co-development of actions, Ka Eke Poutama and Tuia
Rangatahi Leadership programme
· advocating
for kaumatua housing projects in Ōtara-Papatoetoe area
· assisting
with marae development projects.
Te
Reo Māori translation
24. At
a workshop on 27 September 2017, board members discussed the possibility of
producing a Te Reo Māori translation of the local board plan. In
that discussion, board members recognised that there are over 4,000 te reo
speakers in the local board area who could benefit, and that the translation
would help to support the growth of the language.
25. The
cost of the translation is estimated at $7000. There is no current work
programme for this. 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 it currently has more than $100,000 available in
this financial year.
26. The
Te Reo Māori version of the plan will be published online and community
members will be able to download and print their own hard copies as they
wish. A small number of copies will be printed using council in-house
resources, at minor cost.
27. It
is recommended that the board authorise expenditure up to $7000 for the local
board plan to be translated into Te Reo Māori.
Implementation
28. Pending
adoption of the plan, minor edits may be necessary. This report recommends that
responsibility for approving these are delegated to the Chair.
29. Photos
and other design features will then be added to the plan to prepare it for
publication.

From the Chair
Malo lava le soifua maua ma le lagi e
mamā, (Good life, good health and may your skies be clear.)
I am pleased to present our
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board Plan. It contains the board’s
priorities for the next three years and beyond. You gave us great feedback on
the draft plan, and many of your good ideas have been added. My thanks to everyone
who participated.
You’ve told us you want to see
improvements to town centres, parks and facilities, Ōtara Lake cleaned up,
and a range of social issues addressed, including youth unemployment, and the
harm to our communities from substance abuse and gambling.
The plan identifies seven broad
outcomes which incorporate many of the ideas you’ve shared with us.
You’ll see that each topic has
board-led initiatives and identified partners and organisations to progress
projects and activities that benefit our community.
The plan commits the board to working
with Panuku Development Auckland, the council’s development arm, to
transform Manukau into a major centre for business, education, entertainment
and living.
In planning for new projects and
programmes, we know Auckland as a whole faces challenges and we cannot expect
to receive all the funding we would like. We need to make choices, and our plan
presents what we think are the most worthwhile local projects and programmes.
We must prioritise the funding we
seek through the council’s 10-year budget process. This plan proposes 14
projects for funding from the 10-year budget. After considering your feedback,
we think these three are the most important:
· Ngāti-Otara multisport complex
· new changing room and ablution block
on Kingswood Reserve
· playground at Hayman Park.
Thanks again to everyone who gave us
feedback. Together we can achieve great things for Ōtara-Papatoetoe.
Lotu Fuli
Chairperson,
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board
Te Rohe ā-Poari o Ōtara ki
Papatoetoe
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board
area
Ōtara-Papatoetoe includes the
suburbs of Ōtara, Manukau, East Tāmaki and Papatoetoe. Manukau is the
largest retail centre, while other retail and business centres include Hunters
Corner, Ōtara and Old Papatoetoe. There are significant industrial areas
in East Tāmaki and Wiri.
Ōtara-Papatoetoe is home to the
Manukau Institute of Technology, AUT University south campus, and Middlemore
Hospital, as well as numerous schools and private educational facilities.
Rainbow’s End and the Ōtara Markets are enjoyed by visitors and
residents.
Our community exemplifies the
cultural melting pot that is Auckland. While the largest groups are Pasifika,
Indian, European and Māori, Ōtara-Papatoetoe is home to people of
more than 100 ethnicities.
In June 2016, our population was
estimated to be 86,300, up 6000 on the 2013 Census population estimates. The
number of older people in our area continues to increase. In June 2016, it was
estimated that 7300 residents were aged 65 years and over, up 7 per cent from
2013. At the other end of the scale, there has been slower growth in the number
of children 0 to 14, estimated in June 2016 at 20,900, an increase of less than
1 per cent since 2013.
Other statistics from the 2013
Census:
· ethnic composition: 46 per cent
Pacific, 22 per cent Indian, 21 per cent European, 16 per cent Māori and
many smaller groups
· Samoan was spoken by 11,000 people
and Hindi by 8000

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

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

Developing our plan
Our plan comprises
aspirational outcomes, objectives we want to achieve and some of the key
initiatives we will carry out to achieve them. To make this happen will take
the efforts of many working together.
During May and June 2017
we consulted on a draft of this plan for feedback. The draft was developed by
considering this feedback and what we know about our community, having worked
closely with you over the last six years and heard your views on a wide range of
things.
Written feedback on the draft plan
was received from 195 people, and another 50 people commented at “Have
your Say” and other engagement events. The majority of people
agreed that the board was on the right track with the plan.
Numerous suggestions were made for
activities or services the board could provide for older people. These
focused on helping with transport, safety and activities like health and
fitness, Zumba, and computer classes.
A wide variety of other issues were
mentioned in feedback, including parks, sports, recreation, arts, culture,
events, community services, family hardship and homelessness. Better
water quality in Otara Lake, waterways and streams, and preservation of Manukau
Harbour were also advocated for in the feedback.
Whakaotinga 1: Te
hurihanga hōu o Manukau
Outcome 1: Manukau
Transformation
Manukau metropolitan centre becomes
the thriving heart of our area: an attractive visitor destination, business
centre and place to shop, live, learn, work and play.
The board will partner with Panuku
Development Auckland to transform Manukau. We will work with our communities to
ensure facilities and services are developed to meet the needs of residents,
visitors and businesses. Along with the Manukau Central Business Association,
we will work to stimulate local growth, investment and innovation.
The board will work to create a safe,
attractive environment in Manukau, improving parks and public spaces by
following good design principles, such as improved lighting. We will rethink
Manukau Square, Putney Way, Davies Avenue boulevard and other public spaces to
attract events and markets for residents and visitors.
Together with the Mayor of Auckland
and Panuku Development Auckland, we will continue to advocate to central government
to proceed with building Te Papa Manukau.
Hayman Park needs to be reconfigured
to complement the shopping areas, transport interchange, and Manukau Institute
of Technology (MIT), and to reserve space for Te Papa Manukau. Planning is well
down the track for a new children’s playground. Ideas like a basketball
court, public toilets, kiosk, memorial garden, upgrade of the skate park and
recreational spaces for fitness and health will also be considered.
A better pedestrian experience is
needed throughout Manukau. We will improve footpaths, crossings, street trees,
street furniture and lighting, and reduce the dominance of cars. Plans
for future use of Manukau Sports Bowl will be refreshed.
You’ve told us you support the
growth of Manukau, if it’s well planned
· “South Auckland tends to mean
crime and poverty and unemployment and trouble. Manukau is different. It is a
common denominator for separate, distinct communities. It is not so much a
place as a state of mind.”
· “Manix (Manukau) is the centre
of South Auckland. All the resources. Where everyone meets. You feel a bit rich
there with all the fancy shops. You dress up to go there for sure.”
Opportunities
· Auckland Council owns significant
land area that can be redeveloped or used to generate funds for reinvestment in
the area.
· We have the chance to influence the
area’s design to better reflect Manukau’s diverse community and
strengthen the sense of place.
· Increase our residential population,
with a range of housing options, to create a safer, busier place.
· Reposition Manukau as a multicultural
centre and the place for people to meet.
Challenges
· People’s negative perception of
Manukau
· There’s currently little to
keep shoppers or workers in town after hours.
· Attracting commercial investment.

Whakaotinga 2: Te
whakarauora i ngā pokapū ā-tāone
Outcome 2:
Revitalising town centres
Revitalised town centres in
Ōtara, Old Papatoetoe and Hunters Corner will reinforce their place at the
core of our communities.
These town centres are central to our
communities; they’re places to gather and chat, shop, go to the doctor,
tap into community support services, and enjoy live entertainment. We want our
town centres to be clean, safe, attractive and easy to get to.
We will continue to improve
footpaths, parks, public art, libraries, community centres and halls, and maintain
and improve the closed circuit television security systems. We will also
continue to support the Māori and Pacific wardens, ambassadors programme
and other partnerships aiding public safety, as you’ve told us how
valuable they are. At each centre, we will continue to work with and support
the business associations to improve safety and economic development.
Above all, we want to recognise and
enhance the distinctive character of each centre and will advocate for this
with private and public developers.
Ōtara town centre
We will continue to support the arts
and cultural activities you have told us you value, making Ōtara known for
its celebration of music and arts throughout Auckland. We will support Fresh
Gallery, public art (with MIT) and the Ōtara Music and Arts Centre (OMAC).
Our first priority for Ōtara is to complete the refurbishment of Te Puke o
Tara Community Centre.
Old Papatoetoe town centre
We will partner with Panuku
Development Auckland to revitalise the town centre so that it becomes a popular
place to live, shop, meet and have fun, and provides the services and
facilities the community needs.
Hunters Corner town centre
We will continue our efforts to
acquire and redevelop the land at the Sutton Crescent / Great South Road
corner. This will make the sports facilities visible from Great South Road,
creating an open space close to the shopping areas.
We’ll also fund multicultural
events to celebrate the diverse cultures of Hunters Corner.
What you told us
· I want Ōtara-Papatoetoe to be a
lot safer and cleaner for our children and also more clean public toilets.
· I think it is great that there are
places for people to sit.
Opportunities
· Potential for investment to cater for
housing growth in and near town centres.
· Increase the number of events to
foster community spirit and better understanding and appreciation of different
cultures.
Challenges
· Negative perceptions of the town
centres and related social issues (e.g. street prostitution, crime, begging,
drugs).
· Attracting new investment.

Outcome 3: Parks and
facilities that meet people’s needs
Our communities have access to parks
and facilities to help build a sense of identity and belonging, boost
participation in community activities, and promote healthy lifestyles.
Participation in sport and recreation
is a great way to strengthen communities and improve public health through
active lifestyles. We will work to increase participation by providing
facilities and by supporting the sports clubs that organise games and
activities. We will continue to support the Kolmar Trust and similar
arrangements of clubs working together.
Our fields for rugby, league,
football, touch, tag, cricket, kilikiti, softball, and gridiron are at
capacity, especially for winter training. Many people are asking for more and
better sports facilities. In answer to the question, “What do you do for
fun in Ōtara-Papatoetoe?” organised field sports were mentioned most
often, along with calls for better facilities.
The area’s increasing
population, as well as shifts in age and ethnicity, all add to the pressure on
our public spaces and facilities. These changes are also expanding the range of
needs for sport and recreation. The recent popularity of the Indian sport of
Kabaddi at Papatoetoe shows this. We do need to respond to these changing
requirements.
Making better use of what we have is
the first step, including forming partnerships with schools to share
facilities. We will also look for opportunities for community use of private
sports facilities and private investment in public facilities, along the lines
of the new Boroughs basketball court at Otamariki Park, built by Spark on
council land.
Subject to finance, we will complete
Ngāti-Ōtara Park multisport centre, and Kingswood Reserve toilets and
changing rooms in the next three years. We will look for funding to build some
of the smaller projects that you called for, including public toilets.
We currently fund the new Colin Dale
motorsport park which serves communities outside Ōtara-Papatoetoe. We will
advocate to the Governing Body for it to be taken over and managed as a
regional park so that it is funded in a way that recognises its regional
benefit.
We want our local parks to be
beautiful places where people can meet, exercise and socialise. It’s
important to continue providing these open areas as people have less outdoor
space at home. There is also a growing demand for informal places to play. In
the long-term, we want to open up the historic Hampton Park for wider public
use.
We need to consciously conserve our
green spaces. In the past, reserve land has been allocated for early childhood
centres and other uses not related to sport or recreation. There is a cost to
the community in this. We will continue to work with providers to find
alternative land for their developments.
Our community halls, leased spaces
and centres are also heavily used and the board is concerned that many of these
facilities are run down, aging and in need of new investment. We’re
looking forward to the completion of Te Puke o Tara Community Centre
refurbishment in 2018. We believe that the Papatoetoe Town Hall, built in 1918,
and the East Tāmaki Community Centre also need upgrading.
Funding to improve community spaces
is limited. We will pursue opportunities to redevelop underperforming
community assets currently owned by the council. This approach, or
“optimisation policy,” would involve selling selected land, buildings,
or airspace, and using the proceeds to redevelop other community assets in the
local board area. This approach would require no additional budget from
the Governing Body.
Our four libraries are well-used and
work in with other local council facilities to deliver shared programming and
services. We also operate three leisure centres and two pools which you tell us
are meeting your needs, although upgrades were suggested to make them better.
We know swimming is the top activity for boys and girls, and we’ll
continue to provide adults and children with access to community pools without
charge.
What you told us
· “In 10 years I want more places to
play sports – cricket, tennis, football, swimming.”
· “Papatoetoe pools need an
upgrade. In comparison to Otahuhu they are pretty dated.”
Opportunities
· Develop existing open space more
intensively
· Make the most of local facilities by
forming partnerships with schools (the area has 37 schools with 48 fields)
· Redevelop underperforming community
assets under the councils “optimisation” policy, using the proceeds
of sale of other assets
· Free up room in council buildings by
encouraging sharing of community-leased spaces.
Challenges
· Covering operational and renewal
costs for existing parks and facilities
· Pressure on our parks and facilities
due to population growth and diversity
· Helping community groups find
appropriate accommodation.

Outcome 4: Healthy
natural environment
We enjoy attractive natural
environments that are healthy and free from pests, litter and pollution.
We want to increase people’s
knowledge about the health of our natural environment and share ways to take
care of it. Over the next three years, we will fund and promote school
environmental programmes and community clean-up projects (like “Adopt a
Spot”) in some of our special areas.
One example is Ōtara Lake. The
lake is choked with mangroves growing on contaminated sediment and is a health
hazard. We’ve developed the Ōtara Lake and waterways vision to let
people know about the bad state of the lake and create momentum towards
restoration. We will continue to work with our community groups, including the
Ōtara Network Action Committee and the Ōtara Lake and Waterways
Trust. We will also seek funding from the Governing Body, the government,
Contact Energy, local businesses and philanthropic agencies for remediation of
the lake.
You’ve told us you also want
cleaner water in our streams and harbour. We will advocate for measures to
reduce sediment and pollution in streams flowing into the harbour and work with
other local boards, through the Manukau Harbour Forum, to improve the health of
the Manukau Harbour. We will also work with community groups, Panuku
Development Auckland and the Manurewa Local Board to make Puhinui Stream more
attractive and accessible. We make a huge difference when we all work together.
Over the last few years, 2000 volunteers have removed more than six tonnes of
rubbish from the Puhinui Stream and helped plant 25,000 native plants along its
banks. This massive community effort was nationally recognised in 2016 by
winning the New Zealand River Awards’ most improved river. We’ll
help keep this momentum going.
The board will encourage residents to
get involved in local ecological programmes that reduce plant pests. We will
work with the Governing Body to identify alternatives to herbicides to control
plant pests on council land. We will also support local environmental
initiatives and enterprises, including urban forest restoration.
We will contribute to local efforts
to reduce the quantity of solid waste going to landfill, by partnering with the
Governing Body and other local boards to create a Southern Resource Recovery
Network.
What you told us
· “I have had so many issues with
illegal rubbish dumping and our rates are constantly wasted on people dumping
rubbish.”
Opportunities
· Increase skills among the community
to tackle problem plants and animals
· Work with community groups and
schools to decrease the amount of waste ending up in our landfills by promoting
recycling, reusing and reducing waste.
Challenges
· Changing people’s understanding
of how their actions affect their environment
· Remediation of Ōtara Lake bed is
beyond the board’s resources; partnering with other agencies is crucial
to fund this work.

Whakaotinga 5: Hapori
whaimana, whakarauhī me te tōnui tonu
Outcome 5: Empowered,
inclusive and prosperous communities
People in Ōtara-Papatoetoe are
proud of their area, feel welcome and safe, support each other and have better
access to transport.
We all want our neighbourhoods to be
well-connected and desirable places to live and visit.
You’ve told us we need to make
streets and public spaces even safer, and we will continue our safety
initiatives with the police and local community groups.
We will continue to support events
and projects that encourage people to get more involved with their communities.
A priority over the next three years is to work with local communities to
strengthen their ability to realise their own aspirations, create and
successfully stage their own events and campaigns. Examples include our
teaching gardens and providing expert advice to community action groups working
to reduce alcohol harm and other substance abuse. We are committed to promoting
Smokefree environments and reducing smoking-related harm.
We also want to contribute to the
economic wellbeing of our communities. Social enterprises e.g. businesses
driven by a social mission, allow communities to realise their aspirations on
their own terms. In partnership with The Southern Initiative we will encourage
the development of more social enterprises, helping people make a living out of
doing good in the community.
Under Whiria Te Muka Tangata /
Māori Responsiveness Framework, the council has committed to strengthening
Māori communities and their wellbeing. The board will contribute to this
through its programmes for engagement and capacity building, especially by active
involvement in rangatahi mentoring programmes. We will also continue to
advocate for kaumatua housing projects in Ōtara-Papatoetoe.
We will support programmes and events
that bring together our diverse communities, comprising over 100 different
ethnic groups. In 2017 we established a local Ethnic Diversity Forum, to
improve the engagement of ethnic communities with the local board, and we will
build on that initiative.
We know how important cultural events
and programmes are in strengthening cultural understanding. We will
continue to fund and resource community arts, events and festivals. We have
started planning for an annual ethnic diversity event that can be developed
over time to become the signature event for our local board area.
Our support for traditional events
such as the Santa Parade, flower shows Diwali, Chinese New Year, Polyfest,
Matariki and ANZAC commemorations will continue.
Places like our Ōtara Music and
Arts Centre, the Fresh Gallery, and libraries also contribute to building a
sense of belonging and will continue to offer local artists and performers
opportunities to showcase their talents. The Ōtara Library is also looking
at new ways of generating interest and attracting new customers.
What you told us
· “Too many outlets for alcohol
and gambling”
· “In 10 years I would like
cleaner and safer neighbourhoods.”
Opportunities
· Help people and groups to do more for
themselves e.g. teaching gardens, and expert advice to groups working to reduce
alcohol harm
· Expand programmes to involve recent
migrants in training and education programmes.
Challenges
· While the crime rate has dropped,
there is still a perception that Ōtara-Papatoetoe is not a safe place to
be
· Barriers, such as language, cultural
practices or transport, limit the involvement of many communities.

Whakaotinga 6:
Whakamānawa ana i te taiohi me te hunga kaumātua
Outcome 6: Honouring
youth and seniors
Youth and seniors are valued and can
participate in work and community activities.
We want to create opportunities for
youth and seniors to realise their full life potential. We have a far bigger
proportion of young people than Auckland generally and a fast-growing number of
people over 65.
We believe Auckland’s young
people are a rich source of talent, ideas and new energy. We know that
including them fully in the life and work of our communities benefits them
individually and supports the growth of the city of the future; one that we
will all be proud to belong to.
Finding secure employment is a major
issue for those under 25 and one that concerns many of you. The social costs of
unemployment are of great concern to the board. Our major initiative to support
this is Youth Connections. Some of their programmes include an employer hub,
JobFest, youth mentoring, leadership training and helping young people get
their driver licences.
Youth Connections also promotes
YouthFULL, an online platform helping young people get work-ready and secure
entry level roles, and JobFest which brings together work-ready youth with
youth-ready employers. We will continue to support local youth groups and
listen to their advice about the needs and ideas of young people. We’re
currently working with our advisory group, TOPS (The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Squad)
to improve our engagement with youth.
Other initiatives we support include
the Tuia Rangatahi Mentoring Programme, the Civic Leadership Awards for
secondary school students, and Junior Neighbourhood Support. The board is
interested in exploring opportunities to create a youth hub.
The number of people over 65 living
here is increasing. You told us that particular issues for seniors
include housing, health, safety, social isolation, and access to public
transport. We will help set up a seniors advisory group to advise the local
board about these issues. We will continue to make grants and resources
available to organisations helping seniors. We will also monitor and
advocate for the interests of seniors living in council housing. This includes
advocating to central government for more housing, and to Police and other
agencies to improve their safety and wellbeing.
The board is keen to encourage
younger and older generations to get together and share experiences and skills.
One example of this is the Ōtara Skills Shed where seniors socialise and
build craft and hobby projects, and share their skills with young people. We
envisage recycling and resource recovery activities and small not-for-profit
community enterprises will also operate from the skills shed. The board will
continue working to establish a skills shed in Papatoetoe.
Research from The Southern Initiative
shows parents with newborns and toddlers need activities and opportunities to
connect with each other and plan regular social outings. We can assist by
working with the Governing Body on improving the coordination of programmes
offered at council facilities.
What you told us
· “If I had $50k I would
establish a drop-in youth centre and offer support/a safe environment and a fun
place to enjoy/socialise/share and empower one another”
· "Being older safety is a big
issue. Safe footpaths, plenty of ambassadors in our town centre make all
citizens feel safe"
· "Keep our wisdom active by
partnering [seniors] with youth. A kaumatua/mokopuna relationship"
Opportunities
· Using technology, such as charging
stations for mobility scooters and WiFi, can help people of all ages become
more independent
Challenges
· Finding providers who match the
learning needs of local youth and seniors in delivering programmes
· Encouraging youth and seniors to
engage in local board conversations and decision-making.

Whakaotinga 7: He māmā te
haere noa
Outcome 7: It’s easy to get
around
Everyone can easily get around on
foot, cycle, bus, train and car.
You have told us you would like to
see better transport connections to help everyone get around. You asked for new
rail connections from Manukau centre to Pukekohe and mass transport to the
airport, less congestion and better walking, cycling and public transport
options. The need for better footpaths was highlighted as a particular issue
for elderly people. We will advocate for these, along with safety and
accessibility for all, including the elderly and other special needs groups, as
a priority. .
The board has long advocated to the
Governing Body and Auckland Transport for direct rail connections from Manukau
to the south and to the airport. Recently, a proposal to identify and
protect a mass transit corridor from the airport to Botany via Manukau has been
supported by the board, as a good first step.
The board has funding for some small
local projects from the Local Boards Transport Capital Fund. In recent years,
we have improved footpaths and street lighting in town centres with this money.
We would like to do more, and will advocate to the Governing Body to double
this fund to $20 million per year.
Our new Greenways Plan proposes a
network of specially designed pathways for cyclists and pedestrians. We will
start to build some of these paths in the next three years, using our transport
capital funding.
Major road construction projects are
needed at some major intersections in Papatoetoe and Ōtara. We will
advocate to Auckland Transport to make the dangerous Preston Road / East

Carrying out our plan
·
To
deliver against the outcomes of our plan we will:
· prioritise our budget to
focus on the initiatives in the plan
· make the best use of our
assets such as our community centres and parks
· set direction for council
staff who are responsible for delivering our annual work programme
· work with others,
including community organisations and partners, to deliver projects and
services
· represent your views on
matters of local importance.
In some instances, our
role is limited to representing your views on matters of local importance
because we do not have the decision-making authority and/or funding to carry it
out. When this is the case, we will use our time and energy to influence the relevant
decision-maker. We do this by advocating on your behalf or making formal
submissions, ensuring decision-makers are aware of your views and our support
for them.
Budget information can be
found on page 36.
Empowering communities
We seek to empower and
enable our communities. This means listening to what you want to achieve,
directing council resources towards community aspirations, and supporting
diverse communities to have an input into the things they care about and which
matter uniquely to them.
We will prioritise
activities led by the community, encourage and support people from all walks of
life to actively participate in their community, and fully use their diverse
talents, insights and contributions. We will work with others to enable our communities
to achieve their goals.
Working with Māori
Delivering on Auckland
Council’s commitment to Māori at a local level is a priority for
local boards. The council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te
Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and its broader statutory obligations
to Māori.
As part of this commitment, the board
will continue to build and formalise its relationship with mana whenua. We will
work and share information by engaging rangatira ki te rangatira, or chief to
chief. Feedback from mana whenua on this plan confirmed the value of board and
mana whenua representatives meeting regularly.
The board supports Whiria Te Muka
Tangata / Māori Responsiveness Framework. This ensures the council’s
policies and actions recognise and protect Māori rights and interests, and
address and contribute to the needs and aspirations of Māori.
Since 2015, we have worked with mana
whenua and local board representatives on Māori input into local board
decision-making. This project has eight jointly agreed actions that form the
basis of a shared work programme between participating mana whenua and local
boards.
The board recently approved a
relationship agreement template and process to enter into formal governance relationship
agreements with mana whenua groups in the greater Auckland area.
We are continuing to develop
opportunities for mana whenua to set and agree expectations, identify common
ground and opportunities for collaborative support and partnership. Our goal is
to develop more effective Māori participation in democracy, for example,
through Te Ao Māori 101 training for local board election candidates,
designed and delivered by mana whenua.
We are confident the outcomes in this
plan will help build strong Māori communities, another of the
framework’s goals.
We also have proposals specific to
Māori. We are providing the land and significant funding for the
rebuilding of the urban marae at Ngāti Ōtara Park (Te Rongo nui o
Naki) and we are providing a site for a new national marae at Puhinui.
We will continue to support mana
whenua in their customary kaitiaki role. We will support Māori priorities
for protecting and restoring sites of cultural significance, Manukau Harbour,
Tāmaki Estuary and other waterways. We will work with mana whenua in
naming new council-owned facilities, roads and parks to reflect our local
cultural heritage.

Funding information
The purpose of this section is to
provide information on local board funding.
How local boards are funded
Funding is allocated to local boards
through the council’s budget setting process. This involves the
council’s Governing Body adopting a 10-year budget every three years and
an annual budget every year. Local board agreements, briefly described in page
nine, make up part of the annual budget.
A financial overview for the
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board for the 2017/18 financial year is included in
Appendix 1.
The council’s budget setting
process involves allocating funding gathered through revenue sources such as
rates and user charges. It also involves setting levels of service for council
activities and corresponding performance targets.
Details on levels of service for
local activities are included in Appendix 2.
Auckland Council’s 2018-2028
10-year budget
In June 2018, the council’s
Governing Body will adopt the 2018-2028 10-year budget informed by local board
plans. The 10-year budget will need to consider all funding needs for Auckland
and balance these with the need to keep rates and other council charges
affordable. This balancing act may impact local boards’ ability to carry
out all the key initiatives in their local board plans.
Auckland Transport’s Local
Board Transport Capital Fund
Local boards can also access funding
from Auckland Transport’s Local Board Transport Capital Fund which is
allocated to deliver small transport related projects.
The fund allocated to the
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board for 2017/18 financial year is $595,000.
How local boards spend their budget
Much of the budget available to local
boards is required to keep our services going and maintain our local assets
including parks, community centres, libraries and halls.
Local boards also have additional,
discretionary funding they can spend on local projects or programmes that are
important to their communities.
More information about local board
budgets can be found in Auckland Council’s Local Board Funding Policy on
the council website.
The council is currently looking at
ways to provide local boards with more flexibility over their budgets.
