‘Rough Order of
Cost’ (‘ROC’)
ROC authorised by the Papakura
Local Board (PLB) in May 2017.
Estimated cost is
approximately $4m. At this time due to limited funding, alternative solutions
are being considered to achieve the desired outcome i.e. greenway section
also being investigated for LBTCF ‘ROC’ Priority Greenway project
12.
|
|
Relocation of pedestrian crossing on East Street,
Papakura.
|
Existing pedestrian crossing seen as a potential
safety hazard and located in the wrong position.
|
‘Rough Order of Cost’ requested by the PLB in May 2017
Investigations near
completion. Pedestrian counts have been completed. Recommendations are
currently being developed in preparation for local board workshop.
|
|
Raised pedestrian crossing for Wood Street,
Papakura.
|
Lack of safe pedestrian crossing on Wood Street and
speeding.
|
‘Rough Order of
Cost’ requested by the PLB in May 2017
Investigations near
completion. Pedestrian counts have been completed. Recommendations are
currently being developed in preparation for local board workshop.
|
|
Signage Plinth at Papakura Train Station.
|
Lack of way-finding signage at the Papakura Train
Station.
|
‘Rough Order of Cost requested
by the PLB in May 2017.
An estimate of $15k for
signage at the train station has been provided.
PLB request ‘On
hold’ until Electronic Notice Board ‘ROC’.
|
|
Walkway/ Cycleway across Pahurehure Inlet.
|
Lack of pedestrian link between Longford Park and
Pahurehure Esplanade Reserve.
|
‘Rough Order of
Cost’ requested by the PLB in May 2017.
Estimates based on similar
projects in the region exceed $3 million. This exceeds the current balance of
the LBTCF for this term and therefore will not be progressed at this time.
|
|
Priority Greenway Project 12 from the Papakura
Greenways Plan - Elliot Street to Freelance Terrace.
|
No off-road cycleway/ pedestrian link to SH1
cycleway / walkway currently under development.
|
‘Rough Order of
Cost’ requested by the PLB in August 2017.
The estimate of $990k for this
project has been provided. This allows for a 650m, 3m wide boardwalk without
handrails with concrete connections at either end. The inclusion of handrails
would raise the estimated cost to $1.28m.
|
|
Electronic notice board including maintenance costs.
|
Lack of way-finding signage at Papakura Train
Station.
|
‘Rough Order of
Cost’ requested by the PLB in August 2017.
The provision of this type of signage does not meet the
Transport Capital Fund funding criteria, specifically the signage would not
have a transport related purpose. Therefore, this cannot be delivered by
Auckland Transport.

Upcoming
projects and activities of interest to the Papakura Local Board
5. Papakura
Park & Ride
The Papakura Park and Ride is a trial project to construct a
park & ride facility to help cope with the growth in patronage on the
Auckland Transport Metro network, specifically at the Papakura Train Station.
An engineering study was completed in
December 2016 followed by a feasibility study completed mid-year 2017. Detailed
design work is currently underway to develop a business case seeking New
Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) funding for this project.
NZTA is expected to confirm their
position by this month – October 2017 but at the time of writing this
report, this had yet to be confirmed.
Safer Communities Programme
6. Papakura
has been selected as one of three locations for the Safer Communities Programme
to be initially trialled. The Auckland Transport Safer Communities Programme
seeks to improve road safety in communities and promote active modes of
transport by improving pedestrian infrastructure.
7. The
programme examines how the active transport network can be developed to support
the growth in future population and employment density by:
· Investigating
and recommending improvements that promote and attract active transport modes.
· Focusing
on strategic improvements, rather than on specific isolated treatments.
· Identifying
treatments that could attract new users.
· Reducing
the safety risk for pedestrians and other road users, particularly around
schools, transport hubs and town centres.
8. The initial focus in Papakura is around the Papakura Train Station. The
first stage of the programme will be to seek community feedback relating to
types of improvements that would make the focus area more walking friendly or walkable.
Consultation will be undertaken by the team in late October/November 2017.
Confirmation of consultation dates will be provided to the Papakura Local Board
once they have been confirmed.
9. The
wider Safer Communities Programme also comprises of two
other communities which are Mt Roskill and Mangere Bridge.
New Rollerson Road footpath
10. Auckland
Transport has a list of approximately 500 sections of new footpath for
consideration across Auckland.
11. Recently it
has been raised that a section of Rollerson Road, Papakura currently only has a
footpath down the western side of the street. A footpath was not installed when
the area was first established.
12. A request for
the opposite side of the street to have a footpath installed has been received
and has been prioritised for investigation and design in 2017/18 and for
construction in 2018/19.
Regional
and sub-regional projects
NZTA
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.
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.
The Puhinui Stream Bridge underpass is closed from 15
October 2017 to April 2018
Consultation
15. Auckland
Transport provides the Papakura Local Board with the opportunity to comment on
transport projects being delivered in this local board area.
16. In the
reporting period for September 2017, only one project was put forward for
comment to the local board. The project was for the installation of No Stopping
At All Time lines along Hunua Road at the Margaret
Williams Drive and Croskery road intersections. A summary of the
proposal is contained in Attachment A to this report.

File No.: CP2017/19639
Purpose
1. To present recommendations for the allocation of the Papakura Local
Board town centre security budget following analysis of the Papakura Town
Centre Safety Review.
Executive
summary
2. The Papkura Local Board commissioned Beca Ltd to undertake a
safety review of the Papakura Town Centre as part of a wider
scope of safety initiatives to improve safety in the area. (attachment A)
3. The review
was presented to the local board in June 2017 and highlighted areas
for improvement that were impacting on the perception of safety.
4. The
local board requested an analysis of the safety review with recommendations to
be considered (attachment B). The analysis is organised into six categories:
· quick
wins (jobs that can be logged through the call centre or where providers of
services can deliver with minimal costs)
· maintenance
(some are Auckland Council assets, others privately owned)
· lighting
(all lighting related concerns)
· CCTV
cameras (monitoring, upgrading)
· roading
and signage (pavements, pedestrian amenity, signage)
· long
term plans (work that needs further planning)
5. The
local board indicated that remaining funds of $49,372.74 from
its 2017/2018 town centre security budget
of $169,000(LDI) be used to achieve some recommendations in the safety review
and to extend the contract for security guards at the town centre until
December 2017.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) receive the Papakura Town Centre Safety Review by Beca Ltd 2017.
b) endorse
handover of responsibility for recommendations relating to lighting and
roadwork, in particular alleyways, pavement demarcation and signage to
Auckland Transport.
c) endorse
handover of responsibility for CCTV and general maintenance work for town
centre beautification to the Papakura Business Association.
d) approve
the allocation of the remaining budget of $49,372.74 as follows :
i) $10,000
to the Papakura Business Association for maintenance and beautifying the town
centre
ii) $29,372.74
to Auckland Transport for lighting improvements, road maintenance, alleyways,
gates, pavement demarcation and signage. ($11,142.02 to be

iii) $10,000
to extend the contract for guards in the town centre until the end of
December 2017.

Comments
Background
6. The
local board and key stakeholders had previously discussed ways to improve
perceptions of safety in Papakura. This resulted in the local board allocating
funding to commission Beca Ltd to undertake a safety review of the town centre
(PPK/2017/46)
7. The review forms part of a wider scope of safety initiatives the
local board had undertaken to improve safety in the town centre and how to address the perception of safety which
deterred people from visiting Papakura or meant that they were drawn to take
their business elsewhere.
8. Beca Ltd facilitated site walkovers (day and
night) with the business association, council staff, police and members of the
local board, to identify key issues and recommend design responses.
9. Following
the completion of the safety review an analysis of the document was requested,
along with recommendations for consideration to be presented to the local board.
10. The analysis
is divided into six categories:
· quick
wins (logged calls/providers of services can deliver with minimal costs)
· maintenance
(some are Auckland Council assets, others privately owned)
· lighting
(all lighting related concerns)
· CCTV
cameras (monitoring, upgrading)
· roading
and signage (pavements, pedestrian amenity, signage)
· long
term plans (work that needs further planning).
11. Quick wins
have been logged with the council call centre or staff have liaised with
relevant departments/organisations to action.
12. Maintenance
and CCTV are to be handed over to Papakura Business Association to
manage.
13. Lighting
and roading and signage are to be handed over to AT. Costs and
timeframes will depend on existing AT work programmes and other priority areas.
There are already plans to install LED lighting in town centres including
Papakura.
14. Staff are
liaising with council’s Parks, Sport and Recreation department to
consider the recommendations for Central Park and the public square at the
corner of Broadway and Great South Road.
Budget
15. The overall budget allocation for 2017/2018 for town centre security
is $169,000(LDI):
· $70,000 allocated to
the business association to engage a security coordinator (PPK/2017/183)
· $33,000 to pay for
security guards in the town centre (PPK/2017/183)
· $27,769.00 paid for guards at the railway carpark between June and
August 2017, $11,142.74 is to
be reimbursed to council for the August payment as it should have been covered
by AT.
16. The remaining
budget of $49,372.74 (including the $11,142.02 to be
reimbursed by AT) is to be allocated to both AT and the business
association to achieve recommendations.
17. Achieving
recommendations will cost more than existing budget, and take longer to
achieve. It is up to AT and the business association to prioritise relevant
work and advise the local board of potential costing and timeframes.

an understanding of local needs, interests and priorities. They create local
benefits for many communities, including Māori. Drury Rugby fully supports Māori participation in Drury
rugby. Several Māori All Blacks have been involved with the club as
players and coaches. Māori have also been involved as administrators at
club and regional level. Papakura Counselling and Support receives referrals
from both Papakura Marae and Te Whanau Tahi Ltd (a division of Te Whānau O

Licence to occupy for community garden at Keri Downs
Park, 200R Dominion Road, Papakura
File No.: CP2017/21670
Purpose
1. To seek approval for a licence to occupy for
a community garden at Keri Downs Park, 200R Dominion Road, Papakura.
Executive summary
2. Licenses
to occupy 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. A
licence to occupy is granted for council land with no fixed assets.
3. Two
applications have been received from the Papakura Tongan Community Association
Incorporated and Umataha Papakura Tongan Community Association
Incorporated. The applications have been assessed against the criteria in
Auckland Council’s Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012 and presented here
to the board for a decision on the award of the licence to occupy the garden
space at Keri Downs Park, 200R Dominion Road, Papakura.
4. Papakura
District Council had a memorandum of understanding for the garden with two
local community groups: Papakura Tongan Community Association Incorporated and
the ‘Ofa Relief Club Incorporated. Both groups have since been
removed from the New Zealand Companies office register, with the former group
recently re applying for registration. Two groups, Umataha Papakura
Tongan Community Association Incorporated and the Papakura Tongan Community
Association Incorporated have requested a licence to garden the site at Keri
Downs Reserve.
5. It
is requested that the local board consider approving a licence to occupy for
one half of the garden to each of the two community groups or to grant the
licence to one group, under the terms and conditions specified in the
recommendations below.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) grant
a licence to occupy, under the Local Government Act 2002, to Umataha Papakura Tongan Community Association Incorporated, for the land at Keri Downs Park, 200R Dominion Road,
Papakura (outlined in yellow in Attachment B) under the following terms and
conditions:
i) Term
– five (5) years commencing 1 October 2017, with one five (5) year
right-of-renewal;
ii) Rent
- $1.00 (plus GST) per annum, if demanded.
b) grant
a licence to occupy, under the Local Government Act 2002, to the Papakura Tongan Community Association Incorporated, for the land at Keri Downs Park, 200R Dominion Road,
Papakura (outlined in blue in Attachment B) under the following terms and
conditions:
i) Term
– five (5) years commencing 1 October 2017, with one five (5) year
right-of-renewal;
c) Rent - $1.00 (plus GST) per annum, if demanded
|
Comments
The land
6. The
land at Keri Downs Park is described as Part Lot 11 DP 112443 (Part NA70C/706)
and is held in fee simple by Auckland Council under the Local Government Act
2002 (Site Plan – Attachment A). The garden currently occupies
approximately 4,935m2 and is fenced to prevent damage to the garden
beds.
7. The
land is on a slight slope on the edge of the park that had previously not been
well used. It is now productive land that provides vegetables for 30-40
families and the wider local community.
History
8. The
land (2,000m2) had originally been gardened by a joint group
(Papakura Tongan Community Association Incorporated and ‘Ofa Relief Club
Incorporated) under a memorandum of understanding with the former Papakura
District Council (30 August 2010 to 30 August 2013). Both groups have
were subsequently struck-off the New Zealand Companies Office register of
incorporated societies. The Papakura Tongan Community Association
Incorporated is currently awaiting final approval of their application to
re-register as an incorporated society.
Umataha Papakura Tongan Community Association Incorporated
9. Umataha
Papakura Tongan Community Association Incorporated was first registered as an
incorporated society in August 2015. The club gardens the land at Keri
Downs Park, 200R Dominion Road, Papakura and now wishes to formalise their
tenure.
10. The
following crops are planted during the year: kumara, corn, silver beet,
beetroot, carrots, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, leeks, onions, beans,
potatoes, chilli-peppers, herbs, taro, cucumber, lettuce and peanuts.
Papakura
Tongan Community Association Incorporated
11. The
Papakura Tongan Community Association Incorporated was first registered as an
incorporated society on 6 April 2010. The group was struck-off the
register on 1 February 2013 and is awaiting reinstatement.
12. The
group has 42 financial members and share the produce from the garden with both
the financial members of the group and with the wider community.
13. The
group charges families $5.00 to garden space at Keri Downs and have been using
the gardens since March 2015 following a general meeting between the Tongan
gardeners of Papakura.
Options
14. The
options for the board to consider are:
· Option A: Grant the licence to occupy to one of the applicant groups;
This would displace one of the groups currently on the garden and may reduce
the support available to the local Tongan community.
· Option B: Grant a licence to occupy to a single group with encouragement for
the two groups to work together;
This approach was brokered by an earlier community meeting of all the Tongan
gardeners, facilitated by Cr Alf Filipaina. Unfortunately the agreement
has since broken down and the group has again split into two.
· Option C: Grant a licence to occupy for one half of the garden area to each
applicant group.
This would continue the existing arrangement whereby the two groups are
amicably co-existing on the garden.
15. An
attempt to encourage the two groups to combine as one and garden the land has
been unsuccessful. Although each group has similar objectives to support
their local Tongan, and wider, community they have not been able to achieve
this by operating as a single entity. To have only one group garden
the land could reduce the support available to the local community.
However, both groups appear to co-exist on the reserve; therefore it is
recommended that Option C be adopted, with each group being granted a licence
to occupy for half of the garden.
Consideration
Local
board views and implications
16. The recommendations within this report fall within local boards’
allocated authority relating to the local, recreation, sports and community
facilities and support the Papakura Local Board Plan 2014 outcome: strong, safe
and healthy communities.

priorities. They create local benefits for many communities, including
Maori. Although the groups are made up mainly of those of Tongan descent,
the garden is open to Maori and other communities.
Implementation
19. All costs involved in the preparation of lease documents are borne
by Auckland Council.

Manurewa Takanini Papakura Integrated Area Plan
File No.:
CP2017/22320
Purpose
1. To seek approval from the Papakura Local Board to adopt the final
Manurewa Takanini Papakura Integrated Area Plan.
Executive summary
2. The purpose of the Manurewa Takanini Papakura Integrated Area Plan
(integrated area plan) is to provide a planning framework to guide how the area
grows and develops over the next 30 years. The
integrated area plan is a non-statutory, spatial plan that was developed
collaboratively with the Community Empowerment Unit and The Southern Initiative
on behalf of both the Manurewa and Papakura Local Boards. Adoption of the
final integrated area plan will also be sought from the Papakura Local Board at
their business meeting on 25 October 2017.
3. Initial
community engagement on the integrated area plan occurred through various
methods and events from mid-December 2016 through until March 2017.
Community feedback then informed the draft integrated area plan. The
draft integrated area plan was the subject of community engagement during
April-May 2017.
4. Comments
received during the consultation periods have been taken into account when
writing the final document.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) approve
the Manurewa Takanini Papakura Integrated Area Plan as set out in Attachment
A.
b) delegate
to officers the ability to make any minor amendments to the Manurewa Takanini
Papakura Integrated Area Plan, including finalisation of design, final
ratification /sign off by the Planning Committee and publication.

Background
5. The
Great South Road Corridor running through Manurewa, Takanini and Papakura was
identified as one of 10 Spatial Priority Areas in Auckland Council’s Long
Term Plan (2015 – 2025). The key action resulting from this spatial
priority area is the preparation of an integrated area plan. Plans and
Places have led this integrated area plan in partnership with the Community
Empowerment Unit and The Southern Initiative.
6. The
integrated area plan sets out a planning framework with five concepts and
supporting actions for the future of the corridor. Five draft concepts
were developed and approved for consultation at the joint local board and mana
whenua workshop on 23 November 2016. The five concepts are:
1. protecting our future
2. love your centre
3. celebrate the story
4. make way for the people
5. a voice for youth.
7. These
draft concepts have formed the basis for the preparation of the integrated area
plan. Feedback has been received in relation to the draft concepts and more
generally about the future of the Manurewa, Takanini and Papakura
centres. The draft concepts were then used to inform the draft integrated area plan which was approved for
consultation at the Papakura Local Board business meeting on 16 March 2017 and
subsequently on 22 March 2017 at the Papakura Local Board business meeting.
Community Engagement
8. The
integrated area plan has been prepared in collaboration with the Manurewa and
Papakura Local Boards, Community Empowerment Unit, The Southern Initiative and
other key internal and external stakeholders including mana whenua. It has also
been prepared in consultation with the community and their feedback has helped
to shape the content at every stage in the development of the document.
9. For
this plan a key focus was to engage
locals who don't usually engage with the council, and to ask them what they
want to see in the Manurewa, Papakura and Takanini areas, now and in the future. In addition to the use of more conventional
consultation and engagement techniques/approaches a digital
platform ‘Share Your Ideas’ in partnership with the Manurewa
Youth Council was launched to make it easier for people to contribute to the
ideas for making these places better.
10. There
were two rounds of community feedback on the draft concepts through various
methods and events from mid-December 2016 through until March 2017 and feedback
on the draft integrated area plan from 3 April for a 6 week period until Friday 12 May 2017.
11. Two highlights from the series of engagement events held in relation
to the draft integrated area plan included:
· "Streets to Places" event in Papakura.
To celebrate the launch of the engagement, the project team in conjunction with
the Papakura Local Board and Papakura Business Association closed part of
Broadway on the Saturday 8 April to provide for a fun-filled street
event. The street closure event provided a platform to celebrate Papakura
and promote the potential to make Broadway a permanent shared space for the
community
a)
· "Rewa – Love our Centre"
cultural event in Southmall Shopping Centre, Manurewa was held on Saturday 6
May. This event gave an opportunity to explore the potential to
revitalise Manurewa, promote the town centre identity and showcase art/culture
in the centre.
12. In addition a series of targeted stakeholder
engagement events were held, including meetings with the Manurewa and Papakura
Business Associations, workshops with the youth councils and online engagement
with youth, meetings with resident and ratepayer groups, a pacific fono event
and a lesson on town planning and
place making with approximately 40 students at the Takanini School.
13. Overall,
more than 5,000 pieces of feedback from members of the community were received
via a mixture of hard copy/online forms and through digital platforms.
Based on the analysis of the feedback collected, the largest ethnic group of
respondents was NZ European at approximately 36% followed by Maori at
approximately 30%, with the highest response received from those aged
between15-34.
14. The
following provides a list of the most common themes that emerged for the three
areas from the engagement:
a. improve
and upgrade use of existing spaces
b. beautify
our town centre
c. promotion
of heritage in our town centre
d. safety
and security
e. community/social
hubs
f. introduce
more free/affordable initiatives, events and festivals
g. address
social issues
h. better
roads, cycle ways and transport connections
i. access
to the waterfront in respect of Takanini and Papakura.
15. This
feedback was then used to further develop the plan and to work with
stakeholders to determine the actions that are important to the community and
to create an implementation plan.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
16. The
integrated area plan covers two local board areas, namely Manurewa Local Board
and Papakura Local Board.
17. The
Manurewa and Papakura Local Boards are sponsoring the development of the
integrated area plan. A number of workshops and meetings have been held
with the boards and with mana whenua during the preparation of the draft
integrated area plan.
18. A
joint workshop with mana whenua representatives was held on 23 November 2016 to
discuss the draft concepts on which the integrated area plan is based.
Following this workshop a number of changes to the draft concepts were made.
19. On
1 March 2017 a joint workshop with both local boards and mana whenua
representatives was held to present an overview of the draft integrated area
plan and a summary of the feedback received to date which has shaped the draft document.
The draft document was then endorsed for public consultation on 16 March 2017
at the Manurewa Local Board business meeting and subsequently on 22 March 2017
at the Papakura Local Board business meeting.
20. On
13 July 2017 a joint workshop with both local boards and mana whenua
representatives was held to provide an opportunity to consider the implications
of the feedback received, provide feedback/ideas on the delivery of the final
plan including an implementation plan and provide direction on how the plan and
its delivery might shape up.
21. On
20 September 2017 a joint workshop with both local boards and to which mana
whenua representatives were also invited, was held to work through the project
priorities and seek to finalise the priorities / key projects.
22. The
local boards both individually and together will play a significant role in
realising the integrated area plan’s future vision for the three
respective centres and the corridor as a whole. The local boards’ roles
may take many forms depending on the action, from direct investment in public
works to advocating for positive changes.
Māori impact statement
23. The
process of engagement on the integrated area plan with mana whenua and
mataawaka in the region has been developed in collaboration with The Southern
Initiative and the Community Empowerment Unit. The project team has been
responsive to the requests of mana whenua in the development of the draft
integrated area plan.
24. An
initial hui was held with representatives from Ngāti Tamatera, Ngāti
Tamaoho, Ngāti Te Ata, and Te Ahiwaru on 14 September 2016. At this
hui it was requested that specialist staff from across the council group be
invited to the next hui to discuss specific areas of interest i.e. water
quality, community facilities and transport. The project team acknowledged this
request and set up the next hui for 31 October 2016 with the relevant
specialist staff present. Feedback from both of these hui shaped the draft
concepts and subsequently the project priorities on which the draft integrated
area plan is based.
25. Mana
whenua representatives have been sitting as a partner at the table with local
board members at the workshops. The first joint workshop with mana whenua
representatives and local board members was held on 23 November 2016 at which
the draft concepts were presented. This joint approach has continued with
all subsequent joint local board workshops to date (to which all iwi groups
with interest in the area were invited) where an update on progress and presentation
of a summary of the details of the draft integrated area plan has been
provided. There is a commitment to continue this approach throughout the
implementation stage.
Implementation
26. Working
towards achieving the integrated area plan’s five key concepts and
ultimately the plan’s outcomes involves not one singular group. The
preparation of the integrated area plan has required input from across the
council group and beyond. By having had a collaborative and inclusive
process to the development of the integrated area plan will ensure that there
is a commitment to deliver on the aspirations and actions upon adoption. To
implement the actions of the integrated area plan will require commitment from
a multitude of parties, including Auckland Council, Council Controlled
Organisations, the local community, landowners, and developers.
Ultimately both local boards will have a key advocacy role to play in driving
actions forward. The integrated area plan will be subject to review and
regular reporting on progress on actions to both local boards in conjunction
with key stakeholders and delivery partners.

Feedback on draft Waste Management and Minimisation
Plan
File No.: CP2017/21299
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 Papakura 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 the Papakura Local Board
at its 12 October 2017 workshop 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. Feedback from all local boards will
be included as a part of this report.
|
Recommendation
That the Papakura 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:
· advocating to
central government for a higher waste levy and for product stewardship
· addressing three
priority commercial waste streams:
· construction and
demolition waste
· organic waste, and
· plastic waste.
· addressing waste generated
from council and council-controlled organisation’s operational
activities, particularly construction and demolition waste.
Financial implications
27. The
actions proposed in the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan can be
achieved within existing waste funding. Funding will be obtained through a
combination of:
· pay-as-you-throw
domestic refuse collections, which will be progressively introduced across the
region
· rates funding, and
· revenue from the
waste levy (from the $10 per tonne waste levy that is administered by the
Ministry for the Environment, 50 per cent of which is distributed to councils,
amounting to $6.1 million for Auckland Council in 2016).
28. Infrastructure
to enable commercial resource recovery will require investment from external
sources such as government and the private sector.
29. The
budget for implementing the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan will be
considered through the Long-term Plan 2018-2028 process.
Consideration
Local
board views and implications
30. A workshop
was held with the Papakura Local Board on 12 October 2017 to discuss the
proposals set out in this report. Feedback provided at this workshop will be
summarised and tabled at the meeting.
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
4. Waiata
Shores is a subdivision development located at 1V Great South Road, Takanini
the site of the ex Manukau Golf Course.
5. Within
this development there are a total of two reserves and four wetlands which have
been developed as part of this subdivision and will be vested to Auckland
Council.
6. Harrison
Grierson Ltd who are acting for the developers, have submitted to the Papakura
Local Board proposed names for the two reserves and four wetlands for approval.
7. Extensive
consultation by the developer with Iwi has been undertaken specifically with
Ngati Tamaoho, Ngati Te Ata Waiohua and Te Akitai Waiohua to discuss the
proposed names for the parks and wetlands developed.
8. Following
the consultation undertaken by the developer, Iwi has recommended the following
names to the Papakura Local Board for consideration and approval:
· Lot
500 – Papa Tākaro – Playground
· Lot
501 – Papa Rēhia – Recreational Area
· Lot
600 – Rohe Kōrepo Tuatahi – First Wetland

607 – Rohe Kōrepo Tuawhā – Fourth Wetland
Consideration
Local
board views and implications
9. The
process for naming parks and reserves requires a formal report to the local
board.
10. Key protocols
to be considered when naming parks and reserves includes the following:
· Tangata
whenua values
· A
natural feature within a park
· A
historical name for the land
· A
historical feature or association with the park
· Historically
or culturally significant individual or event
· Or
the names of previous land owner of long standing
· The
locality
Māori
impact statement
11. Iwi (Ngati
Tamaoho, Ngati Te Ata Waiohua, Te Akitai Waiohua) were extensively consulted in
regards to naming of these newly developed reserves and wetlands. Iwi has
recommended and provided a list of proposed names to the developer for these two
parks and four wetland areas for consideration by the local board. These newly
created parks and wetlands will be vested to Auckland Council.
Implementation
12. A new park
name may be gazetted under s16 (10) of the Reserves Act but this is not compulsory
and usually applies to larger parks or Crown owned land. The formal adoption of
approved names by the local board is considered sufficient.
13. Council
records will require updating: relevant council staff and department’s
notified, new signage installed and GIS mapping updated.

New Road Name Approval for the residential subdivision
by MJB Construction Limited at 3 Okawa Road, Ardmore
File No.: CP2017/21699
Purpose
1. The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Papakura
Local Board, for a new road name for a private common access way (shown below
as Lot 17), created by way of subdivision at 3 Okawa Avenue, Ardmore.
Executive
summary
2. Auckland
Council has road naming guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria
of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria
have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming.
3. Following
assessment against the road naming criteria, the road name ‘Fermi
Lane’ (applicant’s preferred road name), and ‘Planck
Lane’ and ‘Hertz Lane’ were determined to meet criteria.
4. Twelve
(12) Local iwi groups were consulted with four (4) Maori road names suggested
by the applicant, responses were received from Nga Tai ki Tamaki Tribal Trust
and Makaurau Marae Maori Trust. Ngai Tai Ki Tamaki did not support the
four Maori road names suggested as they were names representative of
Rotorua. Instead they offered Okawa Lane, however this was not
accepted by NZ Post as there is already Okawa Avenue. The applicant then
provided four surnames after Nobel Prize winning Physicists, Ngai Tai Ki
Tamaki. Makaurau Marae however support Maori names but recognises and
endorses any other suggestions from Mana Whenua.
5. The Applicant has suggested three out of the four physicist’s
previously suggested to Iwi for Local Board consideration, they are “Fermi
Lane” (preferred by the Applicant) and alternative names “Planck
Lane” and “Hertz Lane”.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura
Local Board, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974,
considers for approval, the road name ‘Fermi Lane’

Decision
Making
8. The
Auckland Council, by way of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (2012 - 2022),
allocated the responsibility for the naming of new roads, pursuant to section
319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, to Local Boards.
Assessment
9. The
Applicant’s proposed road names have been assessed against the criteria
set out in the Auckland Council road naming guidelines;
10. The proposed road names all meet the criteria for reasons including
the following:
· The names are
relatively easy to pronounce, spell and write.
· There are no
existing same road names within Auckland Council’s boundary.
11. As
the Applicant’s preferred name (Fermi Lane) meets the criteria, this is
recommended for consideration for approval while noting that the alternative
names proposed and listed in the above tables are also appropriate as they
comply with all the criteria of the road naming guidelines.
12. It
is noted that the following is stated under Principle 3(8) of the road naming
guidelines: “The names of people who are still
alive should be avoided as community attitudes and opinions can change over
time.”
The proposed persons to whom the surnames
belong have all passed away.
Consideration
Significance of Decision
13. The
decision sought from the Papakura Local Board for this report does not trigger
any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on
the community.
Maori
impact statement
14. The
decision sought from the Papakura Local Board on this report is linked to the Auckland Plan Outcome,
“A Maori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the
world”. The use of Maori names for roads, buildings and other public
places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Maori identity.
Consultation
15. The
relevant iwi groups were consulted and two responded:
Nga Tai ki Tamaki
Tribal Trust and Makaurau Marae Maori Trust
The applicant initially
provided four (4) Maori names to twelve (12) Iwi groups to consider.
Makaurau Marae Maori Trust supports the Maori names, however those proposed are
representative of Rotorua. This is the reason why Ngai Tai ki Tamaki
Tribal Trust rejected the names and have instead supported the
applicant’s second suggestion, surnames of Nobel Prize winning
Physicists.
16. Consultation
was undertaken with NZ Post, and they have confirmed that the proposed names
are acceptable to them.
Financial and Resourcing Implications
17. The
cost of processing the approval of the proposed new road name and any
installation of road name signage is recoverable in accordance with
Council’s Administrative Charges.
Legal and
Legislative Implications
18. The
decision sought from the Papakura Local Board for this report is not considered to have any legal or
legislative implications.
Implementation
19. The
Resource Consenting Team is involved in ensuring that appropriate road name
signage will be installed accordingly once an approval is obtained for the new
road name.

New Road Name Approval for the residential subdivision
by Karaka Waters (2016) Limited at 55 Hayfield Way, Hingaia
File No.: CP2017/21562
Purpose
1. The
purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Papakura Local Board, for
new road names for roads 1, 2 & 3 (shown below) and created by way of
subdivision at 55 Hayfield Way, Hingaia.
Executive
summary
2. Auckland
Council has road naming guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria
of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria
have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming.
3. Following
assessment against the road naming criteria, the road names ‘Hayfield
Way’, ‘Fort Lincoln Loop’ and ‘Vincent Mangano
Road’ (applicant’s preferred road names), and
‘Vespa Avenue’, ‘Sister Havana Avenue’, Aukaha
Street’, ‘Turiwhatu Street’, ‘Melody Belle Loop’,
‘Razor Road’, ‘Waiwaia Road’, ‘Karoro
Road’, ‘Ockhams Street’, ‘Hardline Road’,
‘Whakarae Road’ and ‘Tiwaiwaka Street’ were determined
to meet the criteria.
4. Local
iwi groups were consulted and responses were received from Ngatai Tamaoho,
Ngati Te Ata and Te Akitai Waiohua. Iwi queried whether there were too many
horse inspired road names in Papakura. The applicant agreed in part and
has selected two Maori alternative names for each road for Local Board
consideration and these are listed in this report.
5. The road names “Hayfield Way, Fort Lincoln Loop and
Vincent Mangano Road” (preferred by the Applicant) and alternative
names “Vespa Avenue’, ‘Sister Havana Avenue’,
‘Aukaha Street’, ‘Turiwhatu Street’,
‘Melody Belle Loop’, ‘Razor Road’,
‘Waiwaia Road’, ‘Karoro Road’, ‘Ockhams
Street’, ‘Hardline Road’, ‘Whakarae Road’
and ‘Tiwaiwaka Street” are considered for approval by the
Local Board.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local
Government Act 1974, considers for approval, the road name ‘Hayfield
Way’, ‘Fort Lincoln Loop’ and ‘Vincent
Mangano Road’ proposed by the Applicant, for new Roads 1, 2 and 3
created by way of subdivision at 55 Hayfield Way, Hingaia.
|
Comments
6. The
Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allowed that
where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development,
the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their
preferred new road name/s for the Local Board’s approval.
7. The Applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for
the three roads created as part of the development at 55 Hayfield Way,
Hingaia. The names are consistent with the themes of the horse industry,
specifically the horse names are after winners of the Group 1 Karaka Million
race held in January each year and sponsored by the nearby New Zealand
Bloodstock (NZB). NZB has been based on Hingaia Road for the last 30
years. The applicant has provided evidence of NZB approving the use of the
three horse names associated with the winners of their race.
It is noted that horse names are only
subject to being registered with the New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing in terms
of record keeping and regulation, and as far as the Applicant is aware there are
no copyright issues associated with the use of racing horse names.
The Applicant has proposed the following
names for consideration for the three (3) roads created as part of the
development at 55 Hayfield Way, Hingaia.

allocated the responsibility for the naming of new roads, pursuant to section
319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, to Local Boards.

9. The
Applicant’s proposed road names have been assessed against the criteria

10. The proposed road names all meet the criteria for reasons including
the following:
· The names are
relatively easy to pronounce, spell and write.
· There are no
existing same road names within Auckland Council’s boundary.
11. As
the Applicant’s preferred names (Hayfield Way, Fort Lincoln Loop and
Vincent Mangano Road) meet the criteria, they are recommended for consideration
for approval while noting that the alternative names proposed and listed in the
above tables are also appropriate as they comply with all the criteria of the
road naming guidelines.
12. It
is noted that the following is stated under Principle 3(8) of the road naming
guidelines: “The names of people who are still
alive should be avoided as community attitudes and opinions can change over
time.”
The proposed names include horses that have
won the Group 1 Karaka Million race held in January each year, Maori names for
birds that are found in the Manukau Harbour and Maori words to describe the
strong Manukau Harbour current and the beauty and importance of the Hingaia
area. None of the proposed names are after a person.
Consideration
Significance of Decision
13. The

Consultation
15. The
relevant iwi groups were consulted and all three responded:
Ngatai Tamaoho, Ngati

They queried that there
were sufficient horse inspired road names in Papakura already and therefore a

two Maori names as options for all three roads for the Local Board to consider.
16. Consultation
was undertaken with NZ Post, and they have confirmed that the proposed names
are acceptable to them.

Governance Forward Work Calendar
File No.: CP2017/21095
Purpose
1. To
present a 12 month governance forward work calendar to the board.
Executive
Summary
2. This
report updates the governance forward work calendar: a schedule of items that
will come before the board at business meetings over the next 12 months. The
governance forward work calendar for Papakura is included in Attachment A.
3. The
calendar aims to support local boards’ governance role by:
· ensuring advice on
agendas and workshop material is driven by local board priorities
· clarifying what
advice is required and when
· clarifying the
rationale for reports.
4. The
calendar will be updated every month. Each update will be reported back to
business meetings and distributed to relevant Council staff. It is recognised
that at times items will arise that are not programmed. Board members are
welcome to discuss changes to the calendar.
|
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) note
the attached Governance Forward Work Calendar.
|
Comments
5. The
council’s Quality Advice Programme aims to improve the focus, analysis,
presentation and timeliness of staff advice to elected representatives. An
initiative under this is to develop forward work calendars for governing body
committees and local boards. These provide elected members with better
visibility of the types of governance tasks they are being asked to undertake
and when they are scheduled.
6. Although
the document is new, there are no new projects in the governance forward work
calendar. The calendar brings together in one schedule reporting on all of the
board’s projects and activities previously approved in the local board
plan, long-term plan, departmental work programmes and through other board
decisions. It includes governing body policies and initiatives that call for a
local board response.
7. This
initiative is intended to support the boards’ governance role. It will
also help staff to support local boards, as an additional tool to manage
workloads and track activities across council departments, and it will allow
greater transparency for the public.
8. The
calendar is arranged in three columns, “Topic”,
“Purpose” and “Governance Role”:
· Topic describes
the items and may indicate how they fit in with broader processes such as the annual
plan
· Purpose indicates
the aim of the item, such as formally approving plans or projects, hearing
submissions or receiving progress updates
· Governance role is
a higher-level categorisation of the work local boards do. Examples of the
seven governance categories are tabled on the following page.
|
Governance role
|
Examples
|
|
Setting direction/priorities/budget
|
Capex projects, work programmes, annual plan
|
|
Local initiatives/specific decisions

Grants, road names, alcohol bans
|
|
Input into regional decision-making
|
Comments on regional bylaws, policies, plans

review projects
|
|
Accountability to the public
|
Annual report
|
|

|
9. Board
members are welcome to discuss changes to the calendar. The calendar will be
updated and reported back every month to business meetings. Updates will also
be distributed to relevant Council staff.
Consideration
Local
Board views and implications
10. All
local boards are being presented with governance forward work calendars for
their consideration.
Māori impact statement
11. The
projects and processes referred to in the governance forward work calendar will
have a range of implications for Māori which will
be considered when the work is reported.
Implementation
12. Staff
will review the calendar each month in consultation with board members and will
report an updated calendar to the board.
