Panuku Development Auckland Local Board six-monthly update 1 August 2017 - 31 January 2018

File No.: CP2018/03076

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To update the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board on Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) activities within the local board area for the six months from 1 August 2017 to 31 January 2018.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. Panuku was established in September 2015 due to the merger of two Council Controlled Organisations, Waterfront Auckland and Auckland Council Property Limited (ACPL).

3. Panuku helps to rejuvenate parts of Auckland, from small projects that refresh a site or building, to major transformations of town centres or neighbourhoods.

4. Panuku manages around $2 billion of council’s property portfolio, which we continuously review to find smart ways to generate income for the region, grow the portfolio, or release land or property that can be better used by others.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) receive the Panuku Development Auckland Local Board update for 1 August 2017 to 31 January 2018.

Horopaki / Context

Local Activities

Development

5. Panuku is contributing commercial input into approximately 50 region-wide council-driven renewal and housing supply initiatives.

6. Panuku works with partners and stakeholders over the course of a project. It also champions best practice project delivery, to achieve best value outcomes within defined cost, time and quality parameters.

7. Below is a high-level update on development activities in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area:

8. Transform Onehunga – The high level plan to regenerate Onehunga, on a similar scale to Wynyard Quarter and Manukau, was approved in March 2017. The plan was completed involving significant consultation with the community. Panuku is leading the redevelopment of strategically placed council-owned land, and works in partnership with the Government and others, to deliver positive outcomes for the local community.

The East West link which affects the wharf and southern parts of the area is currently being reassessed by NZTA. The final board of inquiry decision approving the East West link was approved in January 2018, we are however expecting amended plans later this year.

Panuku has advanced plans on improving local connections, the town centre and the Onehunga wharf precinct where possible. The Framework Plan that will guide Panuku’s work is due for completion in April 2018, although some parts relating to the provision of infrastructure will follow after agency plans have formed. The development of the plan has been an iterative process with inputs from the local board, numerous partners, stakeholders and the community.

9. Tamaki Regeneration – Significant progress is being made with initiatives towards the four Tāmaki transformation objectives of Social Transformation, Economic Development, Placemaking and Housing Resources:

Social – The Tāmaki Response co-design space has been open since October 2017. The Auckland District Health Board and Oranga Tamariki are now also located in the space. The aim is to deepen understanding of the community needs and enablers. The Tamaki Jobs and Skills hub has also placed more than 130 residents into employment since opening in late 2016.

Economic –DKO Architecture is in the process of finalising the Glen Innes Town Centre Development Plan, which will incorporate the outcome of the Tāmaki Transport Modelling work. Consultation and engagement to date has involved the Local Board, the Community and stakeholders.

Placemaking – The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board has received the Tāmaki Open Space Network Plan, which will now go out for community consultation in May 2018. The Board initiated a CPTED study for the Glen Innes Town Centre, focussing on the Ruapotaka Precinct and Maybury Reserve has been integrated with the Development Plan along with work around the Ruapotaka Marae.

Housing - Phase One of Tāmaki Large Scale Development or the transfer process for TRC’s tenancy management services business, Tāmaki Housing Association (THA) will not be proceeding. Preparations are continuing for additional catalyst projects, with the intention of focusing on delivering these projects.

10. Unlock Panmure – Panuku has completed the Unlock Panmure High Level Project Plan (HLPP) with community input and in partnership with the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board, Tāmaki Regeneration Company (TRC), Auckland Transport (AT), and Auckland Council. The HLPP was presented to the Community Leaders Group and received positive support.

The HLPP was endorsed by the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board at the 27 February business meeting and then at the Planning Committee on 6 March 2018.

Panuku is collaborating with Panmure Business Association to provide business supportive activation at the 25 March Panmure Basin Fun Day event. The approved HLPP information flyer will be available on the day for the community.

Forward activities for March to August include confirmation of LTP funding, programme business case, and delivery programme alignment with AT AMETI works, and TRC programmes. Panuku will continue to work with the local board to undertake project specific engagement with the community.

Portfolio management

11. Panuku manages ‘non-service’ properties owned by council and Auckland Transport (AT). Non-service properties are those that are not currently needed for service or infrastructure purposes. These properties are generally being held for planned future projects, such as road construction, park expansion or development of future town centres.

12. As at 31 January 2018, the property portfolio comprises 1437 properties, containing 1119 leases. The current portfolio includes vacant land, industrial buildings, warehouses, retail shops, cafes, offices, medical centres, and a large portfolio of residential rental homes.

13. The return on the property portfolio for the period ending 31 January 2018 was above budget, with a net surplus to council and AT shareholders of $1.1m ahead of budget.

14. The average monthly tenantable occupancy rate, for the six-month period is more than 98 per cent, which is above the Statement of Intent target of 95 per cent.

Properties managed in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Area

15. Panuku currently manages 76 commercial and 98 residential interests within the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area.

Business interests

16. Panuku also optimises the commercial return from business interests it manages on council’s behalf. This includes two forestry enterprises, two landfills and four quarries.

17. There are currently no managed business interests in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area.

Portfolio strategy

Optimisation

18. The Auckland Council Long-term Plan 2015-2025 reflects a desire of council to materially reduce or slow down expenditure, and unlock value from assets no longer required, or which are sub-optimal for service purposes. In response to this, prior to the establishment of Panuku, ACPL developed a new method of dealing with service property, called optimisation.

19. Asset optimisation deals with ‘service property’. It is self-funding, maximises efficiencies from service assets, and maintains levels of service while releasing property for sale or development. A key element of optimisation is that the sale proceeds are locally reinvested to advance approved projects and activities on a cost-neutral basis. It does not include the AT portfolio. Panuku continues to advance this programme of work, which includes the development of a cross-council project to coordinate and execute asset sales and optimisation.

Portfolio review and rationalisation

Overview

20. Panuku is required to undertake ongoing rationalisation of council’s non-service assets. This includes identifying properties from within council’s portfolio that may be suitable for potential sale and development if appropriate. Panuku has a focus on achieving housing and urban regeneration outcomes. Identifying potential sale properties contributes to 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.

Performance

21. Panuku works closely with council and AT to identify potential surplus properties to help achieve disposal targets.

22. Target for July 2017 to June 2018:

Unit	Target	Achieved
Portfolio review	$60m disposal recommendations	$28.3m as at 31 January 2018

Process

23. Once identified as a potential sale candidate, a property is taken through a multi-stage ‘rationalisation’ process. The agreed process includes engagement with council, council-controlled organisations (CCOs), the local board and mana whenua. This is followed by Panuku board approval, engagement with local ward councillors and the Independent Māori Statutory Board, and finally, a Governing Body decision.

Under review

24. Properties currently under review in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area are listed below. This list includes any properties that may have recently been approved for sale, or development and sale by the Governing Body.

Property

Details

58/7 Rowlands Avenue, Mt Wellington

This property was part of the legacy Auckland City Council “Own Your Own” scheme, where council has buy back rights protected by covenant.

Auckland Council sought to transfer its right to buy this property back from the current owner to Housing New Zealand (HNZ).

HNZ own the majority of the surrounding unit titles and the current owner of this property consented to the transfer to HNZ of Auckland Council’s right to purchase the property back.

The board endorsed the transfer at its October 2017 business meeting.

Council’s Finance and Performance Committee approved the transfer of council’s covenanted option to purchase the property to HNZ in December 2017.

Acquisitions and Disposals

25. Panuku manages the acquisition and disposal of property on behalf of Auckland Council. Panuku purchases property for development, roads, infrastructure projects and other service needs, and manages the sale of properties surplus to council requirements. These properties may be sold with or without contractual requirements for development.

Acquisitions

26. Panuku does not decide which properties to buy in a local board area. Instead, it is asked to negotiate the terms and conditions of a purchase on behalf of council.

27. Panuku purchased seven properties for open space across Auckland in this financial year (ending 30 June 2018) at a cost of $18.2m, and also bought five properties for storm water use at a value of $4.2m.

28. No properties were purchased in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area during the reporting period.

Disposals

29. The disposal team sold eight properties for a total of $10.7m this financial year. The team’s 2017/2018 target is $8.0m for the year. The target is agreed with the council and is reviewed on an annual basis.

30. Two of the properties sold are in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area: 7 Eastview Road, Glen Innes and 525-529 Ellerslie-Panmure Highway, Mt Wellington.

Regional activities

Highlights

31. Over the year, Panuku achieved key project milestones and performance results in our priority development locations. Panuku categorises three types of priority locations:

32. Transform locations – Panuku ‘transforms’ locations by creating change through urban regeneration. Panuku leads the transformation of select parts of the Auckland region; working alongside others and using the custodianship of land and planning expertise. The catalytic work Waterfront Auckland led at Wynyard Quarter is a great example of the transformation of urban locations.

33. Unlock locations – Panuku also ‘unlocks’ development potential for others. By acting as a facilitator; using relationships to break down barriers and influence others, including the council family, to create development opportunities.

34. Support locations – Panuku plays a ‘support’ role to ensure council is making the most of what it already has. Intensification is a key driver in the Auckland Plan. Panuku will support housing demands by enabling development of council-owned land.

Transform locations

35. The Wynyard Quarter is undergoing rapid change both commercially and residentially, with thousands of Aucklanders using this space every week.

· The first three phases of structural steel have been installed at the Park Hyatt Hotel. All up, approximately 2000 tonnes of primary structural steel will be used to construct the luxury five-star hotel, which will span a total area of 37,000sqm.

· In April 2017, Mayor Phil Goff officially opened the Mason Bros. building, a former industrial warehouse that has been redeveloped into a three-level office space, bringing together a community of entrepreneurs and businesses. It is the centrepiece of Wynyard Quarter’s innovation precinct.

· The innovation precinct in Wynyard Quarter has expanded with the newly opened five-floor building at 12 Madden Street. The purpose-built home for entrepreneurs offers the latest in flexible co-working spaces. This milestone marks two years since the GridAKL initiative was launched by Auckland Tourism, Events, and Economic Development (ATEED), partnering with Panuku and Precinct Properties to develop the commercial space to house ambitious companies and connecting technologists, designers, digital content makers, product designers and start-ups.

· Developer Willis Bond is constructing 500-600 apartments of various types and sizes that are set to house around 1100 people. There are two developments currently under construction; Wynyard Central and 132 Halsey. The first residents moved in during September 2017.

36. ‘Transform Manukau’ was the first location to have a Framework Plan completed, outlining the five key moves for the project and the vision for Manukau in 2040. Over the past six months, the emphasis has been on confirming the delivery of an affordable housing development on 5ha of land at 20 Barrowcliffe Place. This project will be Panuku’s largest development of affordable housing and involves the first partnership arrangement with mana whenua in a property development role. Earthworks on the development of over 200 homes will commence soon. Work is also about to commence on the street-scape upgrade of Putney Way, in conjunction with the bus station process led by AT.

Unlock locations

37. In Takapuna, Auckland Council owns nearly four hectares of land focused around the Anzac Street carpark and the Gasometer site, and consultation on redevelopment of these sites has started.

38. Hobsonville 20ha Airfields site - stage one of construction of 102 standalone and terrace homes is underway. Avanda Group have been announced as the developers that will deliver more than 500 homes in stage two, of which a minimum of 10 per cent will be affordable housing.

39. In Northcote, a masterplan and design guide for the new Awataha Greenway project has been completed, and work is well advanced on the masterplanning and reference design for the town centre regeneration. Works are also progressing well on the redevelopment of the Housing New Zealand stock by Homes Land Community (HLC).

40. The Council’s Planning Committee approved the over-arching plans to redevelop Old Papatoetoe in June 2017. Panuku is leading the redevelopment of the mall, a 2.5ha block of land, which will see the area opened up with a new plaza space, reconfigured shops, upgraded carpark and a revamped New World supermarket. In addition to the upgrade of the mall, which is expected to be completed early next year, approximately 110 new homes are planned to be developed in the surrounding area.

41. With the overall plan for Henderson being approved in May 2017, the vision is for it to grow into an urban eco-centre. This vision will guide planning and development with an outcome towards ‘liveable growth’ by creating a safe, attractive and vibrant mixed-use environment with a uniquely west Auckland identity.

42. The opportunity to revitalise Avondale has been given the green light in November 2017, with the approval of the over-arching plan for its regeneration by the Planning Committee. The vision for Avondale will be enabled through a number of key moves. Panuku will work closely with the local board and community to implement a retail strategy that attracts new businesses, increasing diversity of products and services. The train station, upgraded bus network, and new cycleways, offer great transport options and Panuku will continue to strengthen connections between these activity hubs and the town. A focus for the regeneration of Avondale is to work with developers to build quality residential neighbourhoods that offer a mix of housing types, including terraces and apartments. A number of significant developments are already underway in the area.

43. A development agreement was signed with Todd Property for the delivery of more than 350 homes in Flat Bush, Ormiston. In December 2016, Panuku sold a site at 187 Flat Bush School Road for a 30-lot subdivision.

Support locations

44. The Mariner Rise subdivision at 20 Link Crescent, Whangaparaoa, has been completed by Panuku’s development partner, McConnell Property, along with the delivery of a 2700sqm park and playground. Sixty new homes will be built on this new subdivision.

10. The society is a non-profit organisation which was founded in 1969. They have organised some cleaning each year which has helped with the bulk removal of rubbish from the Estuary. The last clean-up was completed at the Panmure Basin where 200 black sacks of rubbish was collected and removed from the site.

11. The club has provided council with a letter of confirmation for the sale of the building to the society.

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

12. A workshop was held on 19 September 2017 to discuss the transfer of the sub-license at this site. No objections were raised and the board endorsed the transfer of the sub-license to the society.

13. Community leases are a valuable way in which the council provides support to local community organisations to provide the activities and services aligned with recognised local priorities.

Auckland Transport Monthly Update

File No.: CP2018/03727

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. The purpose of this report is to; seek approval for new Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) Projects, respond to resolutions and requests on transport-related matters and provide transport related information on matters of specific application and interest to the Waiheke Local Board and its community.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. In particular, this report covers:

· Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) 2018 update

· New bus network – Central

· AMETI update

· Transport Capital Fund

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) Note the Auckland Transport Maungakiekie-Tāmaki monthly update – March 2018

Horopaki / Context

3. This report addresses transport related matters in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki local board area and includes information on the status of the LBTCF.

4. Auckland Transport is responsible for all of Auckland’s transport services, excluding state highways. They report on a monthly basis to local boards, as set out in their Local Board Engagement Plan. This monthly reporting commitment acknowledges the important engagement role local boards play within and on behalf of their local communities.

5. The LBTCF is a capital budget provided to all local boards by Auckland Council and delivered by Auckland Transport. Local boards can use this fund to deliver transport infrastructure projects that they believe are important but are not part of Auckland Transport’s work programme. Projects must also:

· be safe

· not impede network efficiency

· be in the road corridor (although projects running through parks can be considered if there is a transport outcome).

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) 2018

6. 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.

7. AT 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.

8. 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.

New Bus Network Central

9. The New Network for Auckland’s central suburbs will be implemented on Sunday 8 July 2018. Many bus services will change, with new route numbers and new routes. New frequent bus services along Tamaki Drive (the Tamaki Link), Remuera Rd (route 75), and Manukau Rd (route 30) will be introduced. These buses will operate at least every 15 minutes from 7am, seven days a week.

10. These changes will not affect the City Link, Inner Link, Outer Link, buses to West Auckland (routes 18, 110, 195, 209, 132, 133, 134, 125, 125X), buses to Mangere (routes 309, 309X), or bus route 70 (to Auckland City Hospital, Newmarket, Ellerslie, Botany). The 321 Hospitals bus route and number will remain the same but will get an improved timetable. School buses to central suburb schools that are operated by Auckland Transport will change at the beginning of term 3 (23 July 2018).

AMETI

11. Auckland Council has approved consent for the Panmure to Pakuranga stage of AMETI Eastern Busway. Auckland Transport is reviewing all conditions recommended by the independent commissioners and will respond to Auckland Council with acceptance of the decision and corresponding conditions in mid/late March.

12. Archaeological work in the vicinity of Bridge St is progressing on schedule. There have been no significant findings to date.

13. All required properties on Bridge St have now been demolished. The focus will now shift to required properties on Pakuranga Road from late March.

14. Panuku Development Auckland is continuing to work with tenants of properties that require vacating. Housing New Zealand and WINZ are being liaised with in the event of any tenants who require additional assistance.

15. A series of information sessions are planned over the coming 6-8 weeks. The majority of these are in Pakuranga / Botany area as the focus on wider public information at this point in time, as it is focused on elements of the project in these areas. Auckland Transport’s engagement focus in Panmure is to have more focused events and some of these are planned in March/April 2018, including an evening with local Panmure businesses and a BBQ with residents in the vicinity of archaeological work. The next phase of events (as we get closer to construction) will be more focused on Panmure.

16. Urban design and Mahi Toi design work is progressing well. The project team will provide an update on these designs to the Local Board in April.

Local impacts and local board views

Local Board Transport Capital Fund

17. This fund is intended to allow local boards to build transport focused local improvements in their areas. Ideally, these projects would be completed during the term of the local board that initiated them. However, for those boards who have yet to commit funding to projects this is becoming increasingly unlikely. Projects take time to investigate, design and build and are allocated to project managers and contractors on a first come, first served basis. Local boards that delay allocating their Local Board Transport Capital Fund may not see their projects built during this term.

Wallen Street Carpark

18. Auckland Transport was made aware at the beginning of a safety concern with a wall in the carpark at 9-21 Waller Street, Onehunga. This carpark is located across the road from the Onehunga train station. Although there is currently no danger Auckland Transport needs to ensure this remains the case and have taken action to secure the affected section of wall.

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.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

c) note that any members who wish to attend the AGM must provide their names to the Kura Kāwana project team by Friday 13 April 2018 to ensure that they are registered with 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.

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board

27 March 2018

Additions to 2016-2019 Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board Meeting Schedule

File No.: CP2018/03732

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. Seeking approval for two meeting dates to be added to the 2016-2019 Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board meeting schedule in order to accommodate the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 timeframes.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board adopted the 2016-2019 meeting schedule on 28^th February 2017.

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 Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board meeting schedule so that the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 timeframes can be met.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) approve two meeting dates to be added to the 2016-2019 Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board meeting schedule to accommodate the 10-year Budget 2018-28 timeframes as follows:

i) Tuesday, 8^th May 2018 at 4pm

ii) Tuesday, 5^th June 2018 at 4pm

b) note the venue for both meetings will be the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board office, 7-13 Pilkington Road, Panmure.

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 Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board adopted its business meeting schedule at its 28^th February 2017 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.

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.
