Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      receive the report entitled “Auckland Transport Update to the Manurewa Local Board – March 2018.

Horopaki / Context

 

Local projects and activities of interest to the board

 

Manurewa bus/train station improvements

3.       The construction of the bus layovers within the Manurewa bus station area was undertaken in late February and has been completed.

4.       Installation of the exeloos is programmed to start in the week beginning 19 March, and is expected to be completed in five weeks.  Information regarding the installation of the drivers’ portacom will be provided once available.

5.       For the planned improvements at the Station Road overflow park-and-ride (to mitigate the parking loss at the main park-and-ride), contractors are currently undertaking a full lighting and CCTV design, which is due by the end of February.  A design is expected shortly on the upgraded signage for the Station Road carpark.

 

Manurewa town centre clock

6.       The Manurewa town clock is located within road reserve and has been maintained by Auckland Transport since the 2010 amalgamation.

7.       The Manurewa Local Board has indicated an interest in upgrading the clock as it has not been in good working order for some years.

8.       At a workshop on 1 March, the Manurewa Local Board considered and discussed various options with a representative of the Precision Watch Co Ltd (watch and clock repair specialists).  Precision maintains almost 30 clocks around the Auckland region, and has been maintaining the Manurewa clock since the 1970s, in both its current and previous location.

9.       As a result of the workshop, the board has requested Precision to provide a firm estimate for restoring the clock, for consideration at a future meeting.

 

Hill Road P180 parking restrictions outside Auckland Botanic Gardens

10.     Auckland Transport’s Traffic Control Committee (TCC) granted approval for the new P180 parking time restrictions at its meeting on 9 February.

11.     The signs were installed over the weekend of 17/18 February 2018.

 

Consultation documents on proposed improvements

12.     Consultation documents for the following proposals have been provided to the Manurewa Local Board for its feedback and are summarised here for information purposes only.

13.     Following consultation, Auckland Transport considers the feedback received and determines whether to proceed further with the proposal as consulted on, or proceed with an amended proposal if changes are considered necessary.

Proposed safety improvements, Browns Road and Dalgety Drive intersection, Manurewa

14.     Auckland Transport is proposing intersection improvements at the Browns Road and Dalgety Road intersection, including cutting back the two corners of the intersection and creating a shared path along the south side of the intersection. 

15.     Currently, heavy vehicles are having accessibility issues when turning left from Dalgety Drive into Browns Road, which has resulted in trucks mounting the kerb. The signal poles on the corner have been hit several times over the last year and this also puts pedestrians waiting to cross at the lights at significant risk. 

16.     The kerb cut-back is therefore required to ensure heavy vehicles will no longer mount the kerb and thus provide a safer waiting environment for pedestrians.  Auckland Transport will look to extend the paved area at the back of the footpath near the netball courts to maximise the waiting area for pedestrians as much as it is practical within the road reserve.

Regional and sub-regional projects

 

Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) 2018

18.     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.

19.     AT prepares the draft RLTP jointly with the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) 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.

20.     The original intention was to consult on the plan alongside Auckland Council’s Long Term Plan.  However, the consultation has been “de-coupled” 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.

 

Southern corridor improvements (SCI) project update

21.     As part of the SCI project, a new temporary road layout was put in place southbound through the Takanini Interchange on the morning of 1 March.

22.     The two southbound traffic lanes were split to provide a safe work area in between the lanes during motorway upgrades.  The lanes were split just before the Takanini southbound off-ramp, for approximately 800m, before converging again before the motorway on-ramp (see diagram below).

 

Takanini Overbridge Temporary Southbound Layout

 

23.     Splitting the lanes is to enable the construction crew to connect the newly constructed portion of bridge to the existing motorway.  The construction activity is known as a ‘stitch’.  The stitch involves breaking the concrete barrier and existing edge of the bridge.  Steel reinforcement is then connected to the existing bridge reinforcement and new concrete poured to fill the area in between.

24.     This lane split will be in place until around the middle of the year. 

25.     The NZTA has asked motorists to drive with care through this area as they get used to the new layout.

26.     For more information about closures and detours, visit the NZTA website:

www.nzta.govt.nz/auckland-southern-corridor.

David Nathan Park: approval of the reserve management plan and to update the conservation plan

 

File No.: CP2018/02940

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To consider submissions on the draft David Nathan Park Reserve Management Plan, approve the final plan, and approve funding to update the conservation plan for the park.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       A draft reserve management plan for David Nathan Park (68R Hill Rd, Manurewa) was publicly notified in November last year.  The plan (attachment A) sets out the vision, objectives and policies to manage David Nathan Park and priorities for its development. 

3.       Five submissions were received on the plan.  These are included in Attachment B. Four of the submissions were generally supportive of the plan and one was not. 

4.       This report considers the points that are made in the submissions and recommends an amendment to policy 2.3 so that a concept plan includes consideration of a small children’s playground or play area.

5.       Ngāti Te Ata and Te Ākitai Waiohua also provided input into the plan and suggested that they provide a mihi.  A recommendation is made that members Dalton, Allan and Cattle endorse a mihi to be included in the plan.

6.       The first priority of the reserve management plan is to update the conservation plan, subject to funding. The conservation plan will help guard against inappropriate development, inform decisions around assets in the park that don’t relate well to the heritage values, support applications for resource consents to develop the park, and show the council is taking a lead in protecting this significant heritage asset.

7.       The cost of updating the conservation plan is up to $30,000. It is recommended that the board support the updating of the conservation plan by setting aside the remaining funding for this project ($15,000) and adding a further $15,000 from available Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) opex budgets.

8.       Once the board adopts the reserve management plan, it will have immediate statutory effect.  The actions of the plan will be prioritised through the review of the Strategic Business Plan for the park and homestead.

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      adopt the David Nathan Park Reserve Management Plan 2018 included in Attachment A, subject to the following recommended change:

that policy 2.3 be amended so that a concept plan includes consideration of: a small children’s playground or play area.

b)      nominate members Dalton, Allan, and Cattle to endorse a mihi to be inserted into the plan.

c)      note that the full estimated cost of a conservation plan is $30,000.

d)        approve the development of an updated Conservation Plan for David Nathan Homestead and Park as a continuation of the 2017/2018 work programme line item and budget: “David Nathan Park: Develop Reserve Management Plan” (ID 2007) using the remaining funding of $15,000.

e)      approve reallocation of Locally Driven Initiatives opex funding of up to $15,000 from the 2017/2018 work programme line item MR: Teaching Gardens (ID 2042), towards the development of a Conservation Plan for David Nathan Homestead and Park.

f)       note that the adoption of the draft reserve management plan does not concur that funding will be allocated to implement development proposals.

 

 

Horopaki / Context

9.       On 16 November 2017, the Manurewa Local Board approved the draft reserve management plan for David Nathan Park (68R Hill Rd, Manurewa) for public notification (resolution number MR/2017/249). The board also resolved that the entire board would hear and consider any submissions and make a decision on the final plan.

10.     The draft reserve management plan (refer attachment A) sets out a vision for the park and objectives, policies and priorities to guide use, development, protection and management of the park. 

11.     The plan was notified in accordance with section 41(6)(a) of the Reserves Act 1977 including an advertisement in the Manukau Courier on 28 November 2017. A survey was included on the ShapeAuckland website asking submitters for feedback on parts of the plan. Consultation closed on 30 January 2018. 

12.     The submissions are considered below together with recommendations for an amendment and adoption of the David Nathan Park Reserve Management Plan.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

13.     Five submissions were received during the consultation period; one by email and four through the ShapeAuckland survey. None of the submitters requested the opportunity to speak to their submission. The submitters are listed in attachment B. Four of the submissions generally supported the plan and one did not. 

14.     A common theme across the feedback was support for protecting the values of the site and especially the European historical values. 

15.     The opposing submission indicated two main issues – that the plan is an opportunity to reduce the cost to ratepayers of council expenditure (no specific suggestions given) and that policies addressing the special relationship of mana whenua with the land were not supported as they favour one group above another. 

16.     The suggestion to reduce the costs of the plan was re-stated a number of times. However, as it did not elaborate on what costs in particular were of concern, it is difficult to address those comments. Paragraphs 31-32 below provides information on the financial implications of the plan noting both cost savings and cost implications where budget allows for redevelopment of the park.   

17.     In regard to the submitter’s comments relating to favouring of mana whenua, it is noted that Auckland Council is committed to meeting their obligations to Māori created through legislation and enabling the contribution of Māori to Auckland’s future. This commitment is outlined in the council’s strategic documents including the Auckland Plan, the Long-Term Plan and the Manurewa Local Board Plan for 2017 which includes initiatives to partner with mana whenua.  Paragraphs 29-30 below provides information on mana whenua input into the draft plan.

18.     The other submissions were generally supportive of the direction of the plan and policies, and provided specific suggestions for improvements to assets and programming that fit within the drafted policy direction including:

·   support for a market day and improved café with garden seating

·   support for a small stage area or rotunda for small gatherings and concerts

·   suggestion for a billboard outside the park with a photo of the homestead to raise its profile

·   support for programming to improve education on the historical values of the park and homestead

·   support for greater pedestrian and cycle connectivity of the park with the town centre and neighbourhood including pedestrian crossings over Hill and Grande Vue Roads

·   ensuring community consultation is undertaken on any improvements suggested for the park.

19.     However, four comments noted items that do not clearly sit within the draft policy framework.  These are to:

·   keep the playground and improve it with a swing set

·   extend classes currently provided

·   alter the text in the section 2 - Vision for the park - so as not to raise the profile of the park to a wider Auckland audience due to the small size of the park and keeping the park as a tranquil retreat for locals

·   remove the carpark in the longer term.

20.     Staff have considered each comment in turn and recommend the following:

Staff comment

Staff recommendation

a. To keep the playground and improve with a swing set

The draft plan includes policies relating to the playground.  These include, that an update of the draft conservation plan considers the existing playground and makes recommendations regarding its potential removal, replacement or re-design; and that the design of new assets including play equipment, reflects the site’s historic character and amenity values.  However, the plan does not clearly support the continued provision of a children’s play area.  A child’s play area is generally supported as it will help realise the vision for the park to be a place where the community “connect, create and play”.  It is appropriate that a concept plan for the park consider the provision of a play area. However specific equipment such as a swing set should be subject to public consultation through the creation of a concept plan.

Amend policy 2.3 so that a concept plan includes consideration of:  a small children’s playground or play area

b. To extend classes currently provided

 

This is an operational matter that is more appropriately planned through the Nathan Homestead arts and culture programme.

No change to the draft plan.

c.  To alter the text in the section 2 - Vision for the park - so as not to raise the profile of the park to a wider Auckland audience due to the small size of the park and keeping the park as a tranquil retreat for locals

The draft plan acknowledges the challenges associated with multiple demands for use on a small site (section 4.2 of Attachment A).  However, the plan also outlines the opportunities to showcase the significant values including relatively rare heritage values that will be of interest to wider Auckland residents.  The plan is intended to provide direction to ensure the values are not compromised through multiple demands so as to manage that risk.  Staff also note the comments of another submitter that the park is “a hidden highlight of Manurewa and needs to be more visible to the public”.  It is noted also that the publicly consulted Local Board Plan for Manurewa 2017 includes an action to increase the promotion of Nathan Homestead.

No change to the draft plan.

 

d. To remove the carpark in the longer term

 

While the carpark is not in keeping with the heritage values of the site, staff consider that it is essential to the functioning of the homestead as a community facility in the foreseeable future.  The draft plan includes a policy for the update of the draft conservation plan to review the carpark area and recommend changes to improve that area.

No change to the draft plan

 

21.     It is recommended that the local board approve the David Nathan Park Reserve Management Plan; included in attachment A, subject to the recommended change as outlined in the table above.

22.     If the board do not adopt the plan, it will continue to be managed on an ad hoc basis until such time as an open space management plan is put in place.  

Conservation Plan

23.     The reserve management plan includes three key priorities for planning the park’s future.  These are subject to funding being available and include:

i. update the conservation plan to include the whole of the park

ii. determine the future of any structures or assets using guidance on recommendations from the conservation plan

iii.   develop a concept plan with input from heritage landscaping professionals, mana whenua and communities of interest. 

24.     A conservation plan sets out the heritage values of a site and how those should be protected.  It will:

·   help guard against inappropriate development and provide professional heritage advice to inform decisions about developing the park (such as moving the café, restoring heritage gardens, providing a band rotunda or updating the playground)

·   help protect the heritage values from inappropriate renewals or maintenance work

·   provide regulatory planners with information on the site and how it is managed in order to inform resource consent applications for development of the park (conservation plans are often a condition of consent for any change or use or renovations).

·   show that the council is leading by example in protecting such important assets in accordance with best practice.

 

25.     A draft plan exists which relates primarily to the homestead. This could be extended to the whole site including the water tower, the dairy, the gardener’s cottage, tennis courts and landscaping. 

26.     It is recommended that the board support updating the conservation plan. A professional estimate of the cost has been provided at $26,000. With a 10% contingency, it is recommended that $30,000 be set aside. There is approximately $15,000 remaining in the 2017/2018 work programme line item “David Nathan Park: Develop Reserve Management Plan” (ID 2007).  which can be used for the conservation plan. The additional $15,000 is recommended to be funded by reallocating available budget from the 2017/2018 work programme line item MR: Teaching Gardens (ID 2042). This item was included in the work programme for 2017, but the scope was not agreed at the time. Staff recommend that these budgets are used to complete the Conservation Plan in 2017/2018.

27.     If the board choose not to update the conservation plan at this time, then there is a small risk that inappropriate renewals, maintenance or development is carried out.  

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views

28.     The reserve management plan provides a vision for the park and a pathway to achieving that vision. It has been written to reflect local views including public consultation and local board input. Previous consultation was described in the report to the Manurewa Local Board for approval of the draft plan on 16 November 2017.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

29.     Te Ākitai Waiohua and Ngāti Te Ata provided input into the drafting of the plan. This has helped shape policies as reflected in the plan to actively work with mana whenua to manage and develop David Nathan Park.

30.     An invitation has also been extended to Te Ākitai Waiohua and Ngāti Te Ata to draft an introductory mihi to the plan. This mihi is still pending, and it is recommended that Members Dalton, Allan, and Cattle endorse a final mihi.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

31.     The objectives and policies of the reserve management plan carry various implications for both financial benefits and costs. Benefits include potential reductions in the cost and time to process resource consents, licences and consultation where proposed development aligns with the policies of this plan.  However, implementation of the plan to improve and enhance the park carry cost implications.

32.     The reserve management plan recommends three key priorities in order to achieve the vision of the park. These are outlined in paragraph 23 above and include updating the conservation plan and developing a concept plan for the park.  A conservation plan has been estimated to cost $30,000.  A concept plan for a small park with these values might typically cost $35,000-$50,000. However, it is not recommended that work on a concept plan begin until there is capital funding available for it to be implemented.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

33.     There are no notable risks associated with the management plan. However, the production of the plan should reduce the risk of ad-hoc development, use and maintenance that may undermine the historic, cultural, and ecological values of this important reserve. 

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

34.     Should the board adopt the reserve management plan, recommended implementation actions will be prioritised through the three yearly Strategic Business Plan for the park and homestead. This is due for revision this year.

Horopaki / Context

6.       On 1 June 2017, the Manurewa Local Board allocated $25,000 of their 2017/2018 LDI budget dedicated for youth rangatahi scholarships, to assist young people in undertaking tertiary education or training (MR/2017/110).

7.       During October-December 2017, staff promoted the scholarship through social media, face-to-face engagement, and distributing posters and application forms to local high schools, libraries, community halls, recreation centres and the Manurewa marae.

8.       Fourteen applications were received.

9.       Applicants were aged 15-23 years old, from diverse ethnic backgrounds: four New Zealand European Māori, two Māori, two Samoan, one Assyrian, one Cook Island Māori, one New Zealand European, one Samoan Māori, one Samoan Tongan and one Tongan.

10.     The combined amount requested was $27,700.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

11.     The assessment panel used the scheme’s objectives and criteria to allocate funds. These are:

·    to assist young people to achieve their potential through tertiary education or training, and through participation in conferences and events both in New Zealand and overseas to invest in and build future leaders in the community

·    to provide coaching, mentoring, learning and development opportunities for young people.

12.     This scholarship is open to young people who:

·    are aged 14-24 years old who are New Zealand citizens or residents and reside in the Manurewa Local Board area

·    show leadership potential or have contributed to leadership/volunteer activities during the past 12 months promoting youth participation in the community

·    are undertaking study at a tertiary or training institution in 2018

·    are participating in a conference or event either in New Zealand or overseas in 2018 that is significantly based on youth leadership and development

·    on receiving a scholarship, agrees to provide a written report to the board outlining how the scholarship was used to support their education and training for 2018.

13.     Local board members and three members of the Manurewa Youth Council formed the assessment panel and held a workshop on 8 February 2018 to review all the applications and allocate funding. The panel has decision making authority as decided by the local board in 2016, and carried over to this scholarship round.

14.     Subsequently one of the applicants, Anastasia Ratu, advised of a change of circumstances from her application.

15.     Anastasia is now enrolled at the Manurewa High School, and explained that the change of school has incurred additional costs such as new books, uniform, school fees and fees for extra curriculum activities.

16.     Staff recommend that the local board acknowledges the change of circumstances and that the amount awarded be adjusted from $1600 to $1680.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views

17.     The scholarship scheme delivers on a key objective in the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2017: more young people with skills and clear goals that enable successful transitions into employment.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

18.     The local board area has a high percentage of Māori residents with 25.3 per cent of Manurewa’s population identify as Māori, compared to 10.7 per cent in Auckland as a whole.

19.     Te reo Māori was used in promotional posters and the application form. Staff visited the Manurewa marae to explain the scope of the scholarship and to distribute forms.

20.     Fifty percent (seven) of the applicants identify as Māori.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

21.     The assessment panel awarded a total of $22,300.00 to all 14 applicants. If the change of circumstance is taken into account, the total would be $22,380. This is within the budget allocated for the scholarship project.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

22.     One applicant, an Auckland Council employee, and the mother of another applicant, also an Auckland Council employee, were required to provide conflict of interest declarations. While these instances were taken into account by the assessment panel, it was concluded that these applicants were not affected by this connection.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

23.     Staff have notified applicants of the panel’s decisions. Scholarship payments will commence following the local board’s acknowledgment of the allocation and Anastasia’s change of circumstances.

24.     Scholarship recipients have been asked to provide the local board a written report and/or presentation when their scholarship experience is complete.

1.       The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Manurewa Local Board, for a new road name for a road created by way of subdivision at 9 – 11 James Road, Manurewa.

7.       The road to be named is a shared driveway to serve 11 dwellings. DR Developments Limited applied and was granted this subdivision under resource consent MC_52174 SP12706 (BUN60081839 - LUC60291815 and SUB60299989).

8.       The applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for the road created as part of the development at the parent site address.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

10.     The applicant’s proposed road names have been assessed against the criteria set out in the Auckland Council road naming guidelines.

11.     The proposed suffix of “Lane” is appropriate in this circumstance, as the road is a short private driveway to 11 dwellings.  Other suffixes also meet the definition, being: “Place”, “Close”, “Court” and “Way”.  The applicant’s preference was “Lane”.

12.     As the applicant’s preferred name “Kanga Lane” meets the criteria, it is recommended for consideration for approval while noting that the name “Radha Lane” is also appropriate as it complies with all the criteria of the road naming guidelines.

13.    No consultation has been undertaken with Land Information New Zealand.

14.     The applicant has emailed all the 16 relevant iwi groups, and gave a 15 week day window for iwi to respond.  Ngai Paoa replied, and were content to defer to other iwi.  No other responses were received.

15.     New Zealand Post was consulted and indicated that “Rishi Lane”, was not acceptable as there is already an existing “Rishi Way” in Mangere. “Kanga Lane” and “Radha Lane” as provided by the applicant are both acceptable from their perspective.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe /

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

12.     The applicant’s proposed road names have been assessed against the criteria set out in the Auckland Council road naming guidelines.

13.     The proposed road names suggested by the applicant company and the two iwi groups listed above all meet the criteria for reasons including the following:

·    Consultation has been undertaken with mana whenua to ensure appropriateness and correct spelling of the proposed names.

·    The names are relatively easy to pronounce, spell and write.

·    There are no existing similar/same road names within Auckland Council’s boundary.

14.     Consultation was undertaken with NZ Post and LINZ, and both parties have confirmed that the applicant company’s proposed names are acceptable to these organisations. The names suggested by the two iwi groups have been checked against the LINZ master list and none of them are duplications of existing road names in the Auckland Council area.

15.     The applicant has not proposed a road type and have expressed that they do not have any particular preference. In this case appropriate suffixes include ‘Lane’ or ‘Way’.

16.     As the applicant’s preferred names (Rasela Lane and Rishita Lane) meet the criteria, it is recommended for consideration for approval. If these road names are not approved by the Board, it is recommended that alternative names be chosen as a pair from the names suggested by one or other of the iwi groups.

17.     All of the road names proposed by the applicant company and the iwi groups meet the council’s road naming criteria and could be chosen.

Manurewa Local Board Governance Forward Work Calendar - March 2018

 

File No.: CP2018/02289

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To present to the Manurewa Local Board the six months Governance Forward Work Calendar.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       This report introduces the Governance Forward Work Calendar: a schedule of items that will come before local boards at business meetings and workshops over the next six months. The Governance Forward Work Calendar for the Manurewa Local Board is included in Attachment A.

3.       The calendar aims to support local boards’ governance role by:

i)    ensuring advice on agendas and workshop material is driven by local board priorities

ii)   clarifying what advice is required and when

iii)   clarifying the rationale for reports.

4.       The calendar will be updated every month, be included on the agenda for 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.

 

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      note the Governance Forward Work Calendar as at 1 March 2018.

 

 

Horopaki / Context

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 that have been 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”:

i)    Topic describes the items and may indicate how they fit in with broader processes such as the annual plan.

ii)   Purpose indicates the aim of the item, such as formally approving plans or projects, hearing submissions or receiving progress updates

iii)   Governance role is a higher-level categorisation of the work local boards do. Examples of the seven governance categories are tabled below:

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

Oversight and monitoring

Local board agreement, quarterly performance reports, review projects

Accountability to the public

Annual report

Engagement

Community hui, submissions processes

Keeping informed

Briefings, cluster workshops

 

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.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

10.     This report is an information report providing the governance forward work programme for the next six months.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views

11.     All local boards are being presented with Governance Forward Work Calendars for their consideration.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

12.     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.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

13.     There are no financial implications relating to this report.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

14.     This report is a point in time of the governance forward work calendar. It is a living document and updated month to month. It minimises the risk of the board being unaware of planned topics for their consideration.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

15.     Staff will review the calendar each month in consultation with board members and will report an updated calendar to the board.
