File No.: CP2018/03347
As summer draws to a close, the attentions of Auckland’s populace has turned to the 10 year
Long Term Plan, with feedback due to close on 28 March. Local topics are below.
Restoration Sites in Sunnyvale
1. Along with Brenda Brady, I had the great pleasure of visiting various sites where streams are being restored through planting. This is through a community collaborative process, whereby Alanah from Eco Matters has been going from house to house recruiting volunteers amongst the neighbours to help clean the stream, weed and plant the area.
2. This is such important work, the stream health of Sunnyvale affects not just local residents but the wider area of Henderson and beyond.
3. I want to take this opportunity to thank those involved for their fantastic environmental work, future generations are indebted to the work you have done.
Corporate Property Strategy in Henderson Council Buildings
4. A Herald story recently suggested that the Henderson service centre was closing. It was later clarified by Council that in fact the service centre is to remain open, but most of the office staff based here are slated to move to a new location in the Northwest or Albany.
5. Since this story broke, my phone and email has been inundated with concerned residents, and I want to add the voice of this Board to those concerns.
6. It makes sense to keep Council staff working here. The Henderson Council buildings themselves are still fit for purpose, and having been opened in 2004 have not even operated that long. It is connected to a train station! Furthermore, many of the staff here are west Aucklanders, who have local and institutional knowledge built up over long careers in the West. A move threatens to lose that knowledge, and this will affect the services to the ratepayer.
7. It has never been made clear how this move will benefit the ratepayer economically, and it threatens to hurt the local economy of our town centre. Panuku Development Auckland have been doing great work promoting Henderson, and we are on the cusp of turning that work into something really special. I would urge Council to reconsider this move,and continue to support Henderson’s local economy.
Long Term Plan Topics
8. To submit on the 10 year Long Term Plan for Council, go to akhaveyoursay.nz.
9. From a local perspective, we have been long supporters of a pool in Massey, and we are asking the community for a fresh mandate to push this forward and demand inclusion into Council’s planning. This will be tough, in a tight financial environment, and so therefore we need everyone to once again have their say on this issue.
10. In addition to this, we are asking the community if we should move forward with action to get started on a Greenways Plan. This is a plan to map our local walkways and cycleways, that go through parkland and around houses, so that locals can greater benefit from these more informal paths. This will be for the entirety of Henderson-Massey, and particularly in the local areas of Sunnyvale and Glendene this could really help people get around better and ensure people have continued access to higher transit areas.
11. We are also responding to the demands of the Te Atatu South community, that their area has a heart and is a destination in its own right, to get started on an urban design plan for Te Atatu South. We have so much knowledge and ideas floating around for the area, we need to start getting them into a concrete plan so they can be acted upon.
12. Finally, there is a heritage trail around Henderson town centre installed in 1994 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the town. We have received feedback from the community that as the 175th anniversary comes along next year, the trail could use some love and attention. There is scant regard for the Maori history of the area, and some of the signs need updating as well. Whether this is a good idea, and what form it takes, we would love to know your views.

Projects and activities of interest to the Board
Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) 2018
3. The Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) is a plan of how transport delivery agencies intend to respond to growth and other challenges facing Auckland over the next 10 years. It includes a 10-year prioritised delivery programme of transport services and activities.
4. Auckland Transport prepares the draft RLTP jointly with the NZ Transport Agency and KiwiRail. It is a statutory plan describing how these agencies intend to respond to growth and other challenges facing Auckland over the next ten years. It will include a ten-year, prioritised, delivery programme of transport services and activities.
5. The original intention was to consult on the plan alongside Auckland Council’s Long Term Plan. However, the consultation has been “decoupled” and moved into April to ensure it is informed by, and strongly aligned with, the Government’s soon to be released Policy Statement on Transport and a refreshed Auckland Transport Alignment Project.
Vodanovich Road Intersection
6. Auckland Transport have finished the scheme design for a roundabout at the intersection of School Road and Vodanovich Road. This is currently being prepared for internal consultation within Auckland Transport, following which we will conduct external consultation. AT is scheduled to meet with the Local Board on preferred option.

· a request from a constituent to ask when the walkway on Alan Ave Reserve
· Te Atatu Road and Jaemont Avenue Intersection Speeding Issues

· Westgate Drive / Rush Creek Dr Roundabout Speeding Issues
8. Auckland Transport will report to the Local Board on these issues once the work is completed.

Bus, train and ferry fares changing
14. Auckland Transport reviews fares annually to ensure they keep pace with operating costs and the portion of costs recovered from fares. As a result of the latest review, many bus, train and ferry fares have changed. These changes took effect from 11 February 2018.
15. The changes for bus and train fares included increases to 1-zone, 2-zone, 4-zone and 5-zone fares of between 5c and 15c and there was a decrease to 3-zone fares of 5c for adults and 8c for children.
16. There was also an increase of 7c to 10c for tertiary fares to ensure concession consistency across zones. The changes are listed below:
17. Auckland Transport has a target to recover 50% of the cost of public transport from fares, but this is currently at 46.2%, with the balance subsidised by ratepayers and taxpayers.
18. In the year to the end of December, 91.1 million trips were taken on public transport in Auckland, an increase of 7.4% on the year before.

Disposal recommendations report
File No.: CP2018/01777
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. This report seeks the Henderson-Massey Local Board’s endorsement for Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) to recommend to the Finance and Performance Committee the disposal of two council owned properties in the Henderson-Massey Local Board area.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. The council-owned sites at Lot 95 DP 104330, Edwin Freeman Place, Ranui (aka adjacent 1/18 Edwin Freeman Place, Ranui and Lot 9 DP 71587, Parrs Cross Road, Henderson (aka adjacent 18 Parrs Cross Road, Henderson) have been identified as potentially surplus to council requirements through a review process. Consultation with council departments and council controlled organisations (CCOs), iwi authorities and the Henderson-Massey Local Board has now taken place. No alternative service use has been identified for the subject sites through the rationalisation process. Due to this, Panuku recommends disposal of the subject sites.
3. The subject sites are both road reserves subject to the Reserves Act 1977. If approval is obtained to dispose of the subject sites, the reserve status of both sites would need to be revoked. Final revocation of the reserve status will be subject to completing the statutory requirements of the Reserves Act 1977 and Local Government Act 2002, including public advertising.
4. A resolution approving the reserve revocation and disposal of the subject sites is required from the Finance and Performance Committee before the proposed divestment can be progressed.
Horopaki / Context
5. Panuku is required to undertake ongoing review of council’s property assets. This includes identifying properties from within council’s portfolio that are no longer required for council service purposes and 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 Long Term Plan 2015-2025 (LTP) and 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.
6. Once a property has been identified as potentially surplus, Panuku engages with council departments and its CCO’s through an expression of interest process, to establish whether the property must be retained for a strategic purpose or is required for a future funded project. Once a property has been internally cleared of any service requirements, Panuku then consults with local boards, mana whenua and ward councillors. All sale recommendations must be approved by Panuku’s Board before a final recommendation is made to the Finance and Performance Committee.

Corporate Accommodation Disposal Recommendation
File No.: CP2018/03444
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. This report seeks the Henderson-Massey Local Board’s endorsement for council to recommend to the Finance and Performance Committee the disposal of one council owned property, which is currently part of the Corporate Property Portfolio Strategy, in the Henderson-Massey Local Board area.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. Auckland Council’s Corporate Property team has developed a Corporate Property Portfolio Strategy, which seeks to contribute to a more efficient Corporate Property network. This is a self-funding programme of works, which utilises the capital receipts from the divestment of property that is no longer required by the Corporate Property network. The council-owned property at 6 Henderson Valley Road, Henderson has been identified as surplus to council’s requirements as part of the review of the Corporate Property Portfolio Strategy. Consultation with impacted council departments, Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku), iwi authorities and the Henderson-Massey Local Board has now taken place. Corporate Property recommends disposal of the site to enable the Corporate Property Portfolio Strategy to be implemented.
3. A resolution approving the disposal of this site is required from the Finance and Performance Committee before the proposed divestment can be progressed.
Horopaki / Context
4. On 6 August 2017 Regulatory Services announced that it would create efficiencies through an operating model that rationalises its teams to work from three major hubs in the North West (Albany/Westgate), City Centre (Bledisloe House) and the South (Manukau). Alongside this, Regulatory Services confirmed an approach of delivering more local services via a number of spokes (drop in spaces) across the region.
5. In response to Regulatory Services move to three hubs and requirement for local spokes, Corporate Property developed the Corporate Property Portfolio Strategy, which describes how this organisational change would manifest in the property network. This includes establishing which locations will be retained and which were identified as surplus to requirements, and using existing council buildings such as libraries, leisure centres and local board offices where space was available for spokes. This strategy identified 6 Henderson Valley Road, Henderson as surplus to our corporate accommodation requirements and as a potential site that could be sold to reinvest in the corporate network.
6. The sale of the sites in the Corporate Property Portfolio Strategy will contribute to a more efficient Corporate Property network aligned with the new organisational requirements and allow the proposed programme of works to be self-funding by utilising the proceeds of the sale.
7. There will be no closure of customer service centres or local board offices as a result of implementing this proposed strategy. Any local board office or customer service centre impacted by the proposed closure of a building, will be relocated to a suitable location within the area, in consultation with the appropriate local board.
8. Timing is critical in implementing this strategy, due to a number of major lease expiries over the next few years. Should we miss those lease expiries, then significant value locked up in any new leases will not be available to implement much need portfolio change.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
9. 6 Henderson Valley Road, Henderson comprises a low rise multi storey building that provides 12,535m2 of office accommodation, Local Board offices and Customer Service Centre on a 16,164m2 site.
10. The property was the former Waitakere City Council offices and comprises parts of the Buidling referred to as ‘Civic’ and ‘Admin’.
11. Parts of the site including the Council Chamber, the public lobby, the external artworks and the Japanese Garden are scheduled as having heritage value in the Unitary Plan.
12. Waitakere City's sister city Kakogawa, Japan gifted a Japanese garden to Waitakere in 1997. The Japanese garden is located on part of the Property and is not protected by a registered easement. Corporate Property are discussing with Panuku that this area be vested as it is not intended that these gardens are removed, relocated or sold.
13. We have been given preliminary advice that CRLL and AT are likely to designate part of the site for CRL related works and a potential future platform extension. We are currently developing the details of this with AT and CRLL to ensure that any sale is coordinated with the likely designation.
14. The Auckland Unitary Plan zoning is Metropolitan Centre Zone. It has a 2017 capital valuation of $57,700,000.
15. The council-owned site at 6 Henderson Valley Road, Henderson is not likely to be subject to offer back obligations to the former owner under section 40 of the Public Works Act 1981.

Local impacts and local board views
16. Corporate Property attended two workshops with the Henderson-Massey Local Board regarding the Corporate Property Portfolio Strategy and sale of 6 Henderson Valley Road in September and December 2017.

17. The Henderson-Massey Local Board also provided informal advice that, should this property be approved for sale, outcomes would be in alignment with the objectives of the Panuku Unlock Henderson projects.

Ngāti Whatua Ōrākei has expressed potential commercial interest in this property.
d) Te Kawerau a Maki
Te Kawerau a Maki has expressed significant cultural and commercial interests in the site and provided feedback that it opposes the proposed disposal as:
· It previously relinquished its Treaty claim interest in a portion of the site to allow the entire site to be developed by Waitakere City Council.
· Te Kawerau a Maki wished to help the WCC realise its desire to develop the site into a civic centre and so withdrew their claim on the land to enable Council to proceed.
· As part of the development of this site, Te Kawerau a Maki blessed the building, carved sacred pou and incorporated cultural designs into the structure and fabric of the building which is still there today, and even worked alongside WCC inside the buildings.
· Waitakere City Council advised Te Kawerau a Maki it would not sell the land, and if it did Te Kawerau a Maki pou would be returned.
· Te Kawerau a Maki see the development of this site as directly tied to the outcome of Te Henga marae and requested that the Council completes the land swap required to enable the development of the marae.
Te Kawerau a Maki expressed a great deal of frustration with the lack of progress on the land swap which will enable Te Henga marae to be developed and want Council to honour the deal and the spirit of the relationship.
Te Kawerau a Maki seek the return of its pou and designs should the site be sold and requested some of the proceeds of the sale be used to assist with the development of the Marae.
Panuku has met with Te Kawerau a Maki representatives a part of the Unlock Henderson programme to discuss the process for progressing the marae land swap and these discussions are ongoing.
Corporate Property and Panuku will work with Te Kawerau a Maki regarding the return of the pou and designs should this property be divested.

New Road Name Approval for the residential subdivision by Universal Homes Limited at 524-536 Don Buck Road & 54-58 Fred Taylor Drive, Massey
File No.: CP2018/02473
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Henderson-Massey Local Board, for new road names for road vesting’s and laneways created by way due to the Stage 1 subdivision at 524-536 Don Buck Road & 54-58 Fred Taylor Drive, Massey.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / 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. The Applicant Universal Homes Limited have submitted the following road names in order of preference:
· Road 5: Pukewhero Rise
· Road 6: Kāpia Road
· Road 7: Kauri Amber Road
· Road 9: Awamarino Way
· Road 25: Tāne Mahuta Way
· Laneway 1: Kiwikiwi Place
· Laneway 2: Red Matipo Way
With the alternative being:
· Wai Place
4. Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically requires that road names reflect:
· a historical or ancestral linkage to an area;
· a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity feature; or
· an existing (or introduce) thematic identity in the area
The criteria also encourage the use of Maori names. Names also need to be easily identifiable and intuitively clear, thus minimising confusion.
5. All of the proposed road names are deemed to meet the criteria and are acceptable to NZ Post and Land Information New Zealand (LINZ).
6. The road naming criteria suggests road types that could be used and the Applicant has chosen Place, Rise, Road and Way. These road types meet the road naming criteria.
7. The Applicant has stated, proposed names encompass the vast, rich lands and heritage of the area, known as Red Hills. They wish to brand this new community as West Hills, a new Auckland urban green lifestyle.
Their focus for road naming further encompasses:
- West Auckland’s geographical location.
- Don Buck and the West Auckland Kauri Gum diggers from the land. Don Buck, real name Randoff Sanfrisco Figuero or Francisco Rodriques Figuero died in 1917, being a Portuguese immigrant in New Zealand in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. He was known for working gum diggers and the grading of gum in that area.
- The native plant species found in the area.
- The use of certain maori words for features found on the land, and their connection with the Gum digging history.
- There are several stream areas in the Stage 1 proposed development, and their connection with the Gum digging history.
Overall, the story they are conveying with the proposed road names is one of heritage, nature and fresh and vibrant culture within this new Western destination. This will be the start of an intensive residential development, which represents value for money, in a similar feel and culture of the Hobsonville Point development. Defining intensive subdivisions such as this, as the new way to live in Auckland. Also, building on the positive brand perception associated with the New Westgate area.
Their overall aim within West Hills is to provide some of the best value, energy efficient, quality designer homes for today’s generation of home buyers.
8. Therefore, the following road names are put forward for consideration of the Henderson-Massey Local Board:
· Road 5: Pukewhero Rise

8. The land is held in fee simple by Auckland Council and described as Part Lot 5 DP 8632, Part Lot 3 DP 8632, Part Lot 2 DP 35704 and Part Lot 3 DP 92358. The first three parcels of land are classified as recreation reserves under the Reserves Act 1977. However Part Lot 3 DP 92358 is held as an unclassified recreation reserve under the act.
9. The Henderson Valley Park Reserve Management Plan adopted December 2009 supports HVPC and RDA as lessees on the park.
10. HVPC has indicated it supports the proposed new indoor arena and are willing to surrender its current lease agreement and split its leased area with RDA (Attachment E).
11. It is proposed that the land be divided into two leased areas with boundaries defined by existing land parcels and fence lines consisting of 5.5 hectares (more or less) being 44 percent to RDA and 7.0819 hectares (more or less) being 56 percent to HVPC.
12. The leased area to RDA would consist of Part Lot 5 DP 8632 & Part Lot 3 DP 92358. The proposed new riding facility is to be located on Part Lot 3 with Part Lot 5 used for other equestrian activities.
13. The non-exclusive licence area of the land at Henderson Valley Park will be used by RDA for grazing purposes and does not preclude access by members of the public from that part of the park.
14. Iwi consultation was undertaken prior to the Local Board passing the necessary resolution under Section 16 (2A) to classify the land as a recreation reserve. Public advertising is exempt under Section 16 (2A).
RDA
15. Established in 1976, RDA is an affiliated group of New Zealand Riding for the Disabled Association (one of 56 groups nationwide). It has operated for 41 years alongside HVPC at Henderson Valley Park.
16. During that time, RDA has grown and evolved from a small group with seven volunteers, providing one session per week for local school children with disabilities to 10 sessions over three mornings per week for 51 children from across West Auckland.
17. It is the only NZRDA affiliated group in the Waitakere region and there is high demand for its services. The group now has 51 volunteers, six coaches, and a paediatric physiotherapist. The RDA is well supported by the community.
18. RDA is a voluntary, not for profit organisation whose objectives are to provide interactions with horses to develop increased ability, independence and self-esteem for children with physical, intellectual, emotional or social challenges. RDA aim to deliver safe, stimulating and effective programmes to the West Auckland community.
19. Weekly programmes offered by RDA are:-
- Horse riding therapy for children with disabilities;
- Sport and recreation for children with disabilities and emotional and behavioural issues;
- Early intervention horse riding therapy for children with developmental challenges;
- Equine-based educational experiences for children with learning difficulties.
20. Children are referred by their parents and whanau, local schools, physical & occupational therapists, Waitakere Hospital – Child Health Development Unit and Oranga Tamariki.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
21. Prior to any leasing arrangement, classification of Part Lot 3 DP 92358 as a recreation reserve is required. The classification will align the use of the land with the Henderson Valley Park Reserve Management Plan. The management plan contemplates the leasing of the park to RDA and HVPC.
22. A Memorandum of Understanding is currently being finalised between RDA & HVPC to establish shared access and use of the grounds.
23. RDA has a history of timely and responsible property maintenance on the portion of land it currently occupies under the agreement with HVPC. RDA holds a years running costs in reserve to offset any funding shortfall should it arise. RDA use volunteers, corporate community giving days and engage specialised maintenance contractors as required.
24. RDA is financially viable and audited accounts show proper accounting records have been kept.
25. Engagement with iwi on the proposed classification and community lease has been undertaken. Public notification of the intention to classify is exempt under Section 16 (2A) of the Reserves Act.
26. As outlined in this report, it is recommended an agreement to lease, new community lease and non-exclusive licence to occupy be granted to the RDA.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe / Local impacts and local board views
27. At a workshop on 22 August 2017 and 13 February 2018 the board considered the current position of lease negotiations between HVPC and RDA. The board reiterated its support for the clubs to collaborate to develop the equestrian use of the park including the proposal to develop an indoor arena.
28. The Henderson-Massey Local Board is the allocated authority to declare Part Lot 3 DP 92358 a classified recreation reserve.
29. A community outcomes plan has been negotiated and agreed with RDA that aligns with the Henderson-Massey Local Board plan of:
· Communities know each other and work together on common interests.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
30. Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its broader legal obligations to Māori. The council recognises these responsibilities are distinct from the Crown’s Treaty obligations and fall within a local government Tāmaki Makaurau context. These commitments are articulated in the council’s key strategic planning documents, the Auckland Plan, the Long-term Plan 2012-2022, the Unitary Plan and Local Board Plans.
31. Engagement with mana whenua was undertaken on 1 February 2018 by email with 12 iwi identified as having an interest in land in the Henderson-Massey Local Board area. There were three responses received with no concerns raised regarding the proposal.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
32. There are no financial implications associated with classification, grant of agreement to lease, new community lease and non-exclusive licence to occupy.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
33. If Part Lot 3 DP 92358 is not classified as a recreation reserve a lease cannot be granted to RDA. The classification will align the use of the land with the Henderson Valley Reserve Management Plan.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
34. Subject to the classification of Part Lot 3 DP 92358, granting an agreement to lease, new community lease and no-exclusive licence to occupy, officers will work with key representatives of RDA to finalise the leasing documents.

2018 Local Government New Zealand Conference and Annual General Meeting
File No.: CP2018/03051
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To inform local boards about the Local Government New Zealand Annual Conference and General Meeting in Christchurch Sunday 15 July 2018 to Tuesday 17 July 2018 and to invite local boards to nominate elected members to attend.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. The Local Government New Zealand Annual Conference and General Meeting take place at Christ’s College from 12 noon on Sunday 15 July 2018 to 1pm on Tuesday 17 July 2018.
3. Local board members are invited to attend the conference. In 2018, with the venue in Christchurch and given the cost of elected member attendance, staff recommend that one member per local board attend.
4. In addition to the official delegates, Local Government New Zealand requires prior notice of which local board members plan to attend the Annual General Meeting. Members wishing to attend are asked to register their intention with the Kura Kāwana programme by Friday 13 April 2018 so that this information can be provided to Local Government New Zealand.
Horopaki / Context
5. This year the Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) conference and Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held at the Christ’s College, Christchurch, from Sunday 15 July 2018 to Tuesday 17 July 2018. The AGM will commence at 12.00pm on Sunday 15 July 2018 with the conference programme commencing at 4.15pm on Sunday 15 July and concluding at 1.00pm on Tuesday 17 July 2018.
6. The conference programme has the theme “We are firmly focused on the future: Future-proofing for a prosperous and vibrant New Zealand”. The full programme is attached as Attachment A.
7. The AGM takes place on the first day of the conference. The LGNZ constitution permits the Auckland Council to appoint four delegates to represent it at the AGM, with one of the delegates being appointed as presiding delegate.
8. Elected members who hold LGNZ roles are:
Mayor Phil Goff |
Metro Sector representative on the National Council |
Councillor Penny Hulse |
Chair of Zone One and Zone One representative on National Council, Member Conference Committee |
Deputy Mayor Bill Cashmore |
Auckland Council representative on Regional Sector |
Councillor Wayne Walker |
Auckland Council representative on Zone One |
Councillor Alf Filipaina |
LGNZ Te Maruata Roopu Whakahaere |
Councillor Richard Hills |
Member Policy Advisory Group |
Waitemata Local Board Chair Pippa Coom |
Member Governance and Strategy Advisory Group |
9. Traditionally the four AGM delegates have been the Mayor, the Chief Executive and two Governing Body members who hold LGNZ roles.
10. The Governing Body will consider an item on AGM attendance at its meeting on 23 March 2018 which includes the recommendation that Mayor Phil Goff be the presiding delegate and the other three delegates be comprised of either:
· two members of the Governing Body who hold a formal representation role with LGNZ and the Chief Executive; or
· one member of the Governing Body who holds a formal representation role with LGNZ and the Chief Executive, and a local board member.
11. Delegates in 2017 were:
· Mayor Phil Goff
· Deputy Mayor Bill Cashmore
· Councillor Penny Hulse
· Local board chairperson Pippa Coom
12. The Governing Body will also consider an item on conference attendance at its meeting on 23 March 2018 which includes the recommendation that Mayor Phil Goff and the other Governing Body members chosen to be the delegates to the AGM be approved to attend the conference, and that other councillors be chosen to attend so that up to a total of six Governing Body members can attend the conference.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
13. Local board members are invited to attend the conference. In 2018, with the venue in Christchurch and given the cost of elected member attendance, it is recommended that one member per local board attend.
14. This means that a maximum of 27 Auckland Council elected members would attend the conference.
15. Delegates who attend are encouraged to report back to their local boards.
16. In addition, local board members can attend the AGM as observers, or as a delegate (depending on the Governing Body decision), provided their names are included on the AGM registration form, which will be signed by the Mayor.
17. LGNZ requires prior notice of which local board members plan to attend the AGM. Members wishing to attend are asked to register their intention with the Kura Kāwana programme by Friday 13 April 2018 so that this information can be collated and provided to LGNZ.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te
poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views
18. The LGNZ Annual conference has relevance to local board members and their specific roles and responsibilities.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
19. The LGNZ National Council has a sub-committee, Te Maruata, which has the role of promoting increased representation of Māori as elected members of local government, and of enhancing Māori participation in local government processes. It also provides support for councils in building relationships with iwi, hapu and Māori groups. Te Maruata provides Māori input on development of future policies or legislation relating to local government. Councillor Alf Filipaina is a member of the sub-committee. Te Maruata will hold a hui on 14 July 2018.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
20. The normal registration rate is $1,410 (early bird) or $1,510 (standard).
21. Costs of attendance for one member from each local board are to be met from the elected members’ development budget as contained in the Kura Kawana Programme.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
22. The key risk is of delayed decision making impacting costs – the sooner the registration for the nominated local board member can be made, the more likely it is that Auckland Council can take advantage of early bird pricing for the conference and flights.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
23. Once members are confirmed to attend, the Kura Kāwana programme will co-ordinate and book all conference registrations, as well as requests to attend the AGM.

Additions to the 2016-2019 Henderson-Massey Local Board meeting schedule
File No.: CP2018/03230
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. Seeking approval for two meeting dates to be added to the 2016-2019 Henderson-Massey Local Board meeting schedule in order to accommodate the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 timeframes.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. The Henderson-Massey Local Board adopted the 2016-2019 meeting schedule on 15 November 2016.
3. At that time the specific times and dates for meetings for local board decision making in relation to the local board agreement as part of the 10-year Budget 2018-28 were unknown.
4. The board is being asked to approve two meeting dates as additions to the Henderson-Massey Local Board meeting schedule so that the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 timeframes can be met.
Horopaki / Context
5. The Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA) have requirements regarding local board meeting schedules.
6. In summary, adopting a meeting schedule helps meet the requirements of:
· clause 19, Schedule 7 of the LGA on general provisions for meetings, which requires the chief executive to give notice in writing to each local board member of the time and place of meetings. Such notification may be provided by the adoption of a schedule of business meetings.
· sections 46, 46(A) and 47 in Part 7 of the LGOIMA, which requires that meetings are publicly notified, agendas and reports are available at least two working days before a meeting and that local board meetings are open to the public.
7. The Henderson-Massey Local Board adopted its business meeting schedule at its 15 November 2016 business meeting.
8. The timeframes for local board decision making in relation to the local board agreement which is part of the 10-year Budget 2018-28 were unavailable when the meeting schedule was originally adopted.
9. The board is being asked to make decisions in early May and early June to feed into the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 process. These timeframes are outside the board’s normal meeting cycle.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
10. The board has two choices:
i) Add the two meetings as additions to the meeting schedule.
or
ii) Add the two meetings as extraordinary meetings.
11. For option one, statutory requirements allow enough time for these meetings to be scheduled as additions to the meeting schedule and other topics may be considered as per any other ordinary meeting. However there is a risk that if the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 timeframes change or the information is not ready for the meeting there would need to be an additional extraordinary meeting scheduled anyway.
12. For option two, only the specific topic 10-year Budget 2018-2028 may be considered for which the meeting is being held. There is a risk that no other policies or plans with similar timeframes or running in relation to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 process could be considered at this meeting.
13. Since there is enough time to meet statutory requirements, staff recommend approving these meetings as additions to the meeting schedule as it allows more flexibility for the board to consider a range of issues.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te
poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views
14. This report requests the board’s decision to schedule two additional meetings and consider whether to approve them as extraordinary meetings or additions to the meeting schedule.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
15. There is no specific impact for Māori arising from this report. Local boards work with Māori on projects and initiatives of shared interest.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
16. There are no financial implications in relation to this report apart from the standard costs associated with servicing a business meeting.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
17. There are no significant risks associated with this report.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
18. Implement the processes associated with preparing for business meetings.
