Heritage Evaluations-Methodology Review

 

File No.: CP2017/24252

 

Purpose

1.       To seek the Panel’s feedback on the review of the methodology for evaluating historic heritage significance and historic heritage evaluation template.

Executive summary

2.       The Heritage Unit have undertaken some 70 evaluations of sites for consideration for scheduling in the Auckland Unitary Plan. This is the first set of evaluations under the Auckland Unitary Plan and it is considered appropriate timing to review the methodology the council has followed. This does not include a review of the Historic Heritage criteria which are set out in the Auckland Unitary Plan.

3.       Cara Francesco - Principal Specialist Built Heritage, will present on:

·        a high level overview of what is proposed for the project (i.e. key points from project plan),

·        some of the key observations, issues and points for refinement to date with the current methodology for evaluating historic heritage significance and evaluation template

·        identify whether the Panel wishes to nominate one or two members to be part of the Project Reference Group.

 

 

Recommendation/s

That the Heritage Advisory Panel:

a)      receive the presentation and provide advice on the Heritage Evaluations – Methodology review.

Heritage Resource Consent Fees

 

File No.: CP2017/24253

 

Purpose

1.       To seek the views of the Heritage Advisory Panel on developing a policy related to fees, charges and waivers on applications for resource consents involving heritage.

Executive summary

2.       Rebecca Fogel - Team Leader Built Heritage Implementation, will present on work done to date on heritage consent fees.

3.       The Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in part) contains policies D17.3(2) and D17.3(5) which suggest that application fees can be waived for resource consents involving heritage, in order to encourage appropriate redevelopment of scheduled historic heritage places.

4.       The resource consents department is currently operating under varied and inconsistent legacy practices, and now that the Auckland Unitary Plan is close to becoming fully operative, there is a need to administer application fees and waivers for heritage applications in a consistent manner.

5.       Many local authorities across New Zealand use fee waivers as an incentive, and this tool is well-established as best practice in terms of heritage management.

6.       Various options for how this might work in practice have been explored by officers.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Heritage Advisory Panel:

a)      receive the report and provide any feedback on the Heritage Resource Consent Fees.
