America's Cup 2021 - decision on location and infrastructure requirements

 

File No.: CP2017/25946

 

Purpose

1.       To agree a preferred location in Auckland for the America’s Cup event for which resource consent applications should be lodged and as a basis for negotiation with the Crown.

2.       To agree on the strategy for progressing the resource consent applications for the Americas Cup bases through a direct referral to the Environment Court.

Executive summary

3.       On the 23 November 2017 Auckland Council’s Governing Body resolved to approve two options as a basis for continued negotiations with the Crown and Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ). The options were:

·      A cluster of bases located on a 75m extension to Halsey Wharf, 75m extension to Hobson Wharf, and atop Wynyard Wharf (the “Wynyard Basin”)

·      A cluster of bases located on the Western and Eastern side of Wynyard Wharf and Site 18 (the “Wynyard Point”)

·      The option of a 230 metre extension of Halsey St Wharf into the Harbour was rejected

4.       The introduction of the Wynyard Point option was to explore a goal of no incursion into the harbour, to respond to the concerns of some stakeholders and by request of Minister Parker.

Figure One: Wynyard Point and Wynyard Basin Options.

5.       Staff advice at the Government Body meeting was that:

·      The base locations on the Western side of the wharf were subject to unsuitable wave conditions

·      Site 18 was not preferred as a development proposal is pending for a marine refit facility on this site, in accordance with the Waterfront Plan.

6.       Throughout the location analysis process, ETNZ have been unequivocal about their preference for the Halsey Wharf extension.  At the 23rd November meeting, ETNZ accepted that the Wynyard Basin option (with a scaling back of the incursion into the harbour), was a compromise they could work with. It is now ETNZ’s expectation that work continues to refine and ensure that the bases in the Wynyard Basin are fit for purpose – both land and water space.

7.       After the 23 November 2017 Governing Body meeting, the Crown asked Panuku for more information on a variant of the Wynyard Point option. This variation contains the following features:

·      A cluster of bases on Hobson Wharf, Halsey Wharf and Wynyard Quarter extending out on to Wynyard Wharf

·      A 74 metre extension to Hobson Wharf accommodating one double base

·      A wharf extension of 15 metres to Halsey Wharf (instead of 75m) accommodating only two single bases (compared to four double bases in the Wynyard Basis option)

·      Three double and one single base on Wynyard Wharf east and on the site at 56-90 Brigham Street (the “ASB car park site”). An extension across Brigham Street, to link the bases to the Wharf and enable water space access.

 

Figure Two: Wynyard Point (variant), using ASB carpark

 

8.       All parties have a desire to ensure that investment decisions take into account a broader range of considerations than just the economic, including environmental, social and cultural values. The decision does also need to be fit for purpose for ETNZ and the event itself.

9.       Profiles of the Wynyard Basin option and Wynyard Point (variant) in delivery, event and legacy mode are provided as Attachment A. Analysis of the Wynyard Point variant is outlined in the body of this report. The analysis was informed by:

·      The criteria developed and agreed by the Council Group and central government agencies (MBIE and Treasury) to assess potential base locations for AC36 (refer table One and Attachment B.

·      Key timing assumptions (Table One)

·      Technical information and commercial agreements that is available to Panuku as the place shaper and developer of this area on behalf of Auckland Council.

10.     It is staff advice that the Wynyard Point (variant) option cannot meet all of the location analysis criteria. In particular, this option:

·      Increases the risk of delivery timeframes - due to the complexities of existing lease requirements and the further work required to assess consenting issues including the use and development of contaminated land

·      Increases the risk around cost, due to the likely need to cease or move adjoining hazardous substances operators

·      Cannot contribute in the longer term as legacy for future Americas Cup events (post 2022), as this land is earmarked for the much-anticipated public open space that has been a feature of the Wynyard Point dialogue since 2005

·      Does not provide enough land and water space for eight team bases (as required).

11.     In particular:

·      proposed bases at 56-90 Brigham Street (known as ASB carpark) are sandwiched between two operating hazardous substance facilities which create an unacceptable risk profile for the public, is contrary to the specialist risk advice received to date and would prevent the high profile double bases used in a way which would be acceptable for the AC36 event.

·      To address the issue the existing hazardous facilities would need to cease for a period of time or move, which would require prohibitively expensive costs relating to modifying or breaking existing leases and paying for the relocation costs for those operators affected. There is insufficient time to move and relocate the hazardous facilities by 2019.

·      To get access to the water, the proposed bases at Hamer Street would encroach over Brigham Street which requires ‘stopping’ the road. Road stopping cannot be consented in time and is unlikely to be approved under the current statutory and case law criteria, however would be possible under a legislative solution. On safety and operational grounds, the road stopping is unlikely to be supported by the hazardous facilities operators and Fire and Emergency New Zealand (formerly the NZ Fire Service) will seek to mitigate the risks of any option

·      There are contamination issues relating to development of land on Wynyard Point.  Further technical work would be needed to assess what might be acceptable to make the site at Brigham Street useable within the required timeframes.

12.     Staff consider that these are significant issues to address and represent serious challenges to deliverability. The Wynyard Point (variant) option would not obtain the necessary consents and approvals either at all or certainly within the timeframe available.  Any realistic form of legislation could not address all of these matters.

13.     The above has been communicated to the Minister in a memo on the 30th of November.  The executive summary of the memo is provided (Attachment Three).

14.     At the time of writing this report the Minister has committed to further investigating the Wynyard Point (variant) option to ensure that he is confident that all options have been be exhausted. Panuku and Auckland Council have been working to ensure that the Minister receives all of the additional information requested and has access to technical experts to inform his decision.

15.     As reported in the 23 November report, the Wynyard Basin Option does meet the criteria for delivery, event and legacy.  Importantly, this option is consistent with the intent of the Waterfront Plan 2012 and refreshed in 2017 (Figure Three).  The team continues to work on detailed design and improvements – the extensions to both Halsey and Hobson Wharves are currently 74m.

16.     It should be clearly stated that the Wynyard Basin option still has some challenges and risks and the team has been working through detailed design (visual and urban design), environmental and operational issues to ensure that the:

·      New infrastructure is an appropriate fit within Wynyard Quarter and can be delivered and used to the high standards that the Council and public have come to expect in this area of the waterfront

·      Option can be consented and delivered to meet the milestones provided in this report

17.     Key tenant meetings have been held and negotiations are to be expected. To enable delivery, the Council needs to progress procurement processes in the New Year so that when consent is granted there are teams ready to start site clearance and construction.

18.     All work related to AC36 has been developed under a compressed timeframe.  A team has been established to lodge resource consent for the Wynyard Basin by the 15th of January 2018.  The team has been engaged and is working to the timeframes in Table Three.

19.     Panuku has also been liaising and updating stakeholders to keep them informed about progress. These are stakeholders who are likely to be affected by the location decision or who have an active interest as businesses or residents in the area.

20.     Auckland Council staff and central government officials continue to lead engagement with mana whenua on the legacy opportunities for the wider City Centre and Waterfront, including the America’s Cup.  On the 23rd of November the Regional Kaitiaki Forum confirmed their position regarding relationships being at the appropriate level and with the appropriate representatives. This was reinforced through hui between the Minister, Mayor and mana whenua representatives on 1st of December.

21.     Considering all of the above, Auckland Council needs to make a decision about the preferred location option to enable progress with the resource consent, procurement and delivery.

Recommendation/s

That the Governing Body:

a)      support Emirates Team New Zealand to host the America’s Cup in Auckland in 2021

b)      approve the Wynyard Basin (Halsey Wharf Extension, Hobson Wharf Extension and Wynyard Wharf East Extension) location option as a basis for negotiation with the Crown and Emirates Team New Zealand

c)      note that the Mayor and the Chief Executive were given delegated authority under resolution GB/2017/145 to continue negotiations with the Crown and Emirates Team New Zealand

d)      delegate authority to the Mayor and Chief Executive to complete negotiations and lodge the resource consent application

e)      note that the Crown remains committed to further investigating the Wynyard Point (variant) Option and will not reach a final view until further due diligence on this option has been completed

f)       agree to use the single hearing process through direct referral to the Environment Court, available under the Resource Management Act 1991, and lodge the resource consent applications for the approved option in January 2018.

g)      acknowledge that the costs required for planning, consenting and procurement of the approved option and associated infrastructure will commence in this financial year

h)      agree to explore, with Crown representatives, additional or alternative measures that may provide greater certainty or efficiency of process.

i)        refer this report and decisions to Cabinet to inform their decision making.

Comments

Waterfront Context

Waterfront and City Centre Downtown Vision and Programme of Works

22.     At its 5 September 2017 meeting, the Planning Committee approved the direction and intent for updated implementation of the City Centre Master Plan and Waterfront Plan (PLA/2017/111). Councillors adopted the vision for what the downtown waterfront could look like over the time horizon of the next LTP (10 years). The starting point was the Waterfront Plan in 2012 that has outlined a planning horizon out to 2030. 

23.     Collectively the plans outline that each of the city centre wharves have a role to play to serve the city and community’s needs:

a.   Wynyard Wharf – Auckland’s premier waterfront public space with a headland park, mixed use development, and a marine and cultural precinct

b.   Halsey Wharf, Hobson Wharf and water space – a permanent water-based event space supporting the growth of sporting, recreational, cultural, community, commercial and tourist activities that improves access to the Waitemata Harbour

c.   Queens Wharf - transitioning from the primary cruise terminal, back to a public wharf and supporting modernised ferry infrastructure and services

d.   Captain Cook Wharf - transitioning from a freight use into New Zealand’s primary cruise terminal

e.   Princes Wharf and Queens Wharf Basin - to accommodating better ferry infrastructure and public access to the downtown basin.

Figure Three: Waterfront Plan and City Centre Master Plan (10+ years)

24.     Figure Three above represents the vision that could be achieved over the next 10-15 years.  The figure shows the summation of the Waterfront Plan (2012) and City Centre Masterplan (2012) and the update of those strategies that was presented in September 2017 to inform the 10-year long term plan discussions.

 

25.     Figure Four shows the same long-term vision, but further refreshes it with what can be expected through the Wynyard Basin option for AC36 and in the broader downtown area –replacement of Wynyard Crossing, Eastern Viaduct/Te Wero public open space, Wynyard Crossing upgrade, Quay Street seawall, Quay Street upgrade, Downtown Public Spaces, Phase 1 of the ferry terminal reconfiguration and the bus interchange. This downtown work will cost approximately $260 million, of which approximately $80 million is currently funded within the next four years.

Figure Four: Opportunities for accelerating projects through to 2021 – with the Dispersed Option

26.     In order to progress planning, consenting and procurement of these projects, Council will need to begin spending money in this financial year.

Consideration of the Wynyard Point Option

Feedback to the Minister

27.     The introduction of the Wynyard Point options, from the Government’s perspective, is to address a goal of limited incursion into the harbour and managing cost. Another key goal is to ensure that there is a strong positive legacy value and that Auckland can continue to host America's Cup regattas for many years to come without repeating the exercise of finding new space on the waterfront.

28.     Table One identifies the decision criteria and assumptions around timing by which this option has been analysed.

29.     Panuku and Auckland Council have been working to ensure that the Minister receives all of the additional information requested and has access to technical experts to inform his decision regarding the viability of the Wynyard Point Option outlined in Figure Two.

30.     It is council staff advice that the Wynyard Point option cannot meet all of the location analysis criteria. In particular, this option:

·      Increases the risk of delivery timeframes, due to the complexities of existing lease requirements and the further work required to assess the contamination issues on land

·      Increases the risk around cost, due to the likely need to cease or move adjoining hazardous substances operators

·      Cannot contribute in the longer term as legacy for future Americas Cup events (post 2022), as this land is earmarked for the much-anticipated public open space that has been a feature of the Wynyard Point dialogue since 2005

·      Does not provide enough land and water space for eight team bases (as required)

31.     More detail is provided in Attachment C, but the summary of issues is outlined below:

·      The bases are sandwiched between two operating hazardous substance facilities which creates an unacceptable risk profile for the public and would prevent the high profile double bases used in a way which would be acceptable for the AC36 event

·      To address the issue above the existing hazardous facilities would need to cease for a period of time or move, which would require:

Prohibitively expensive costs relating to breaking existing leases

Relocation costs for those landowners / businesses on Wynyard Point affected by the proposal (no known alternative location)

A need to obtain resource consents for the alternative location, with construction before the industry was relocated.

·    To get access to the water the bases would encroach over Brigham Street which requires ‘stopping’ the road. Road stopping cannot be consented in time and is unlikely to be approved under the current statutory and case law criteria. This process requires consultation with stakeholders including emergency services.

·    There are contamination issues relating to development of land on Wynyard Point.  Further technical work would be needed to assess what might be acceptable to make the site at Brigham Street useable within the required timeframes

·    The option does not provide enough land and water space for eight team bases (as required)

·    Assuming the above could be overcome, the construction timeframe would likely take 16-18 months. The base on Hobson and Halsey Wharf can be delivered early but the base construction on Hamer Street be constrained by relocation issues and associated consents.

32.     In addition to the above, the Minister has signalled that Site 18 be used for overflow bases. As noted in previous reports, this site is subject to an upcoming development agreement, for use a marine refit facility – to service working boats (ferries), commercial vessels (fishing boats, charter vessels) and recreational boats, including superyachts. 

33.     Site 18 has been scheduled in for development in the LTP and if it could not be developed would represent a land receipt loss of $35m over 2021 – 2023. 

34.     Other financial impacts of this option include loss of income to Auckland Council of 8.2m from ceasing or moving on commercial tenants before 2022.


 

35.     The Minister has been advised that there is no further resource from within the Council family that can be diverted to the Wynyard Point Option. Notwithstanding this, staff will continue to provide material that will be helpful to the Minister, including as support for a consent application if required. Auckland Council will continue working on the Wynyard Basin Option to ensure that we can meet the January date for lodgement of resource consent applications.

Progressing the Wynyard Basin Option

Engagement

36.     Panuku has continued to work and engaged with the following key stakeholders:

·      Emirates Team New Zealand

·      The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS)

·      Challenge Group – Viaduct Harbour Holdings Limited, representatives from the City Centre Advisory Group, Urban Auckland and Stop Stealing our Harbour

·      Mana whenua

·      Government Agencies – Treasury, Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE), Te Puni Kokiri, Office of Treaty Settlements

·      Council Controlled Organisations –  Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development (ATEED), Regional Facilities Auckland (RFA), Ports of Auckland Ltd (POAL), and Auckland Transport (AT)

·      Key tenants and developers in the Wynyard Quarter, including Sanfords, Sealink, Stolthaven, BST, ASB, Maritime Museum, Fuwah, Precinct, Willis Bond, Goodmans and Tramco

37.     A letter of support from Sealink is provided as Attachment D.

38.     A stakeholder event is scheduled for the 19th of December, which will cover off waterfront and downtown projects including AC36 and the Downtown Programme.  Letters and information leaflets are also being developed and circulated prior to the end of this year.

39.     Panuku also started to engage in August with mana whenua through the Panuku Mana Whenua Governance Forum. The iwi represented below, were amongst the first partners Panuku engaged with and substantive material around the criteria and the location analysis was shared.  Technical specialists were also provided to assist mana whenua with their feedback on the emerging options. 

40.     Attendance of mana whenua representatives at the Forum hui for AC36 include:

·      Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki

·      Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whatua

·      Ngaati Whanaunga

·      Ngāti Whatua o Kaipara

·      Te Ākitai Waiohua

·      Te Patukirikiri

·      Ngāti Tamaterā

·      Ngāti Maru.

41.     Panuku are engaging directly with mana whenua who do not participate in the Mana Whenua Governance Forum administered by Panuku.

42.     Recognising the importance of mana whenua as a Treaty partner, together with government, we are continuing to explore with mana whenua how they can be appropriately engaged with governance, how to provide for economic, environmental and cultural interests and how to ensure that the ability to complete Treaty settlement negotiations and recognition of customary interest under the Marine and Coastal Areas (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 will not be compromised.

Consent Strategy

43.     An expert team has been established to work through the concept for the option that was presented to the Governing Body and develop this with design and operational detail.  Testing and resolution of issues is still underway and work will continue over the New Year.

44.     Due to the tight timeframes for preparation and lodgement, the team is going to extraordinary lengths to prepare all the necessary material required to respond to the complex planning and RMA consenting requirements. There are also a significant number of associated activities that require consent and these are likely to be located near to, or included within, the AC36 base facilities.

45.     The timing available to undertake the consenting for Wynyard Basin means that the only realistic option that is available is through single hearing process undertaken either under existing RMA single hearing processes or through special legislation.

46.     Of the existing single hearing RMA processes, direct referral to the Environment Court is recommended as the preferred approach for consenting the infrastructure required. It is an established procedure that will involve public notification by the Council and a single hearing before the Court where any concerned members of the public or community groups who submitted can participate. Subject to a consent application being lodged in January 2018, a decision from the Court is anticipated by late July 2018/early August 2018.

47.     Central Government may wish to consider additional or alternative measures that may provide greater certainty or efficiency of the consent process.  Given the tight consenting and construction timeframes, council will need to lodge consents early in the New Year, with the submission period beginning after January 2018. The lodgement of consents under the direct referral process does not preclude Central Government from enacting any measures and it ensures that council remains on the critical path for delivery in 2019.

Cost of delivery

48.     As previously reported based on current assumptions it is expected that the Wynyard Basin Option:

·      Will cost approximately $124m for infrastructure and event overlay (supporting berthage)

·      Will require negotiation with commercial tenants and private landowners, which have contractual rights on land and water. Additional funds are needed to allow for relocation and provision of new infrastructure. The work to date as indicated a total of $18m for relocation.  Negotiations total are unquantified at this stage.

49.     In addition to the infrastructure and event overlay directly required for the America’s Cup village and bases there is associated work required in the broader downtown area. This will ensure both the AC36 and APEC events in 2021 are delivered to the world class level expected. The investment for this associated work is approximately $260 million. Of this $80 million is funded but needs to be re-phased and $180 million of additional funding to be allocated through the Long-term Plan 2018-2028.

50.     Auckland continues to work with Central Government on the investment required to enable the America’s Cup to be hosted in Auckland. Central to this is an integrated holistic understanding of the full costs of delivery, inclusive of infrastructure and a hosting agreement. While there has been considerable media speculation on the nature and content of a hosting agreement, no detail is yet available on the hosting agreement costs and rights and responsibilities. It is therefore expected that negotiations on total costs and funding will continue into the New Year.

51.     The Mayor has indicted that here is no funding available for a hosting agreement and that investment in necessary infrastructure is the extent of the Council’s contribution.

Delivery Timeframes

52.     The team has been working to plan out a detailed programme for construction and delivery of the event overlay (refer Table Two).  This was originally reported as 10 months and with further interrogation has been revised up to 14-16 months to complete the entire infrastructure for the base construction.  The challenge for the delivery team will be to find ways to stage construction and work on multiple sites at one time.  The focus would be on ensuring that the ETNZ base to be completed by mid-2019 and all bases by the end of 2019.

53.     The above brings in to focus the importance of a decision on location and the need for Auckland Council to finalise a procurement strategy and get contractual negotiations underway with suppliers for construction works.  There are likely to be synergies with the procurement that is required to progress the Downtown Programme of works outlined above.

Implementation

Local board views and implications

54.     A letter has been sent to all local boards with information that was presented to the Governing Body in November.  Next steps will be to update Local Boards from the 14th of December meeting and there will be opportunities for discussion and further information about the project in the New Year.

Māori impact statement

55.     The Waitematā Harbour is of extremely high spiritual, ancestral, cultural, customary and historical importance ngā mana whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau.  Each mana whenua group has its own views in relation to the Harbour and how their values will be impacted by proposals within this space. 

56.     The AC36 has provided a catalyst for Auckland Council and central government to lead engagement with mana whenua at appropriate levels and on significant issues.  Auckland Council sought direction from the Regional Kaitiaki Forum hui on 23 November. This was followed by an invitation from the Minister and the Mayor to mana whenua representatives to meet on 1 December for a discussion on the base locations.  This was a productive and positive first step into the discussions that will be held over AC36 and other related city centre and waterfront projects.

57.     The mana whenua representatives have clearly identified a preference to coordinate engagement across proposals in the city centre and waterfront location as a means of understanding the collective impacts and potential, and to streamline engagement on what mana whenua consider as activities with similar impacts and effects.

58.     An external advisor selected by mana whenua has been commissioned to progress a co-designed engagement strategy for this purpose. In addition, Panuku is resourcing independent specialists to provide mana whenua with technical support for the consenting processes and applications.  

59.     With the America’s Cup base location, the mana whenua representatives requested a workshop be held after the Governing Body makes a decision or provides further direction on the base location.  Taking a collective approach to engagement was signalled as a priority, especially given the time pressures to commence statutory consenting processes.

60.     A mataawaka engagement approach is being considered, with further work required to understand the spectrum of opportunities in the commercial, tourism, education, and skills training space and how this aligns with central government and council’s partnership approach with mana whenua.

High Level Risks

61.     The high level risks associated with the infrastructure options component of AC36 are outlined in Table Three.

Table Three: High level risks

Category

Risk Description

Delivery – decision

·      The tight timeframe for the infrastructure and location decision

·      Local and Central government commitments to funding before end of 2017

·      Delays in decision making which would mean insufficient time to complete design, obtain resource consent, procure and construct infrastructure by mid-late 2019

Third party negotiations

·      Length of negotiation with third parties in the Wynyard Quarter affecting project start

·      Legacy agreements made through AC36 negotiations that impact on ability to develop land and water space in WQ in the future

·      Cost for relocation and associated infrastructure more than anticipated

Engagement and negotiation with Iwi

·      The ability to engage with Iwi over the location decision prior to resource consents being lodged in January

·      Timing of Crown engagement on Treaty claims on the Waitematā

Public and Stakeholder engagement

·      The ability to engage with stakeholders over the location decision prior to resource consents being lodged in January

Private sector commitments 

·      The ability to scope and get indicative private sector commitments in a timeframe to progress conversations around the opportunity to contribute to infrastructure costs and agree on value of return

Host agreement

·      Costs for the America's Cup event include infrastructure and event delivery costs. It is likely that the latter will be identified in a Host Agreement that is yet to be tabled by ETNZ.
