26 Consideration of Extraordinary Items
At the close of the agenda no apologies had been received.
Members are reminded of the need to be vigilant to stand aside from decision making when a conflict arises between their role as a member and any private or other external interest they might have.
The Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members (the Code) requires elected members to fully acquaint themselves with, and strictly adhere to, the provisions of Auckland Council’s Conflicts of Interest Policy. The policy covers two classes of conflict of interest:
i) A financial conflict of interest, which is one where a decision or act of the local board could reasonably give rise to an expectation of financial gain or loss to an elected member; and
ii) A non-financial conflict interest, which does not have a direct personal financial component. It may arise, for example, from a personal relationship, or involvement with a non-profit organisation, or from conduct that indicates prejudice or predetermination.
The Office of the Auditor General has produced guidelines to help elected members understand the requirements of the Local Authority (Member’s Interest) Act 1968. The guidelines discuss both types of conflicts in more detail, and provide elected members with practical examples and advice around when they may (or may not) have a conflict of interest.
Copies of both the Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members and the Office of the Auditor General guidelines are available for inspection by members upon request.
Any questions relating to the Code or the guidelines may be directed to the Relationship Manager in the first instance.
That the Kaipātiki Local Board: a) confirm the ordinary minutes of its meeting, held on Wednesday, 21 March 2018, including the confidential section, as a true and correct record.
|
At the close of the agenda no requests for leave of absence had been received.

Lysander Crescent Reserve Development
File No.: CP2018/05166
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To present and seek approval for the concept design for the development of Lysander Crescent Reserve.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. Lysander Crescent Reserve play space and pathways are due for renewal. There is an opportunity to improve the facilities and add further play elements and furniture as part of the redevelopment of the reserve.
3. The Kaipatiki Local Board supported the preparation of a concept plan for the reserve. This has been completed and this report seeks approval of the design and the allocation of additional locally driven initiative (LDI) funding to enable the project to progress to detailed design.
Horopaki / Context
The issue
4. The Lysander Crescent Reserve playspace and pathway were identified for renewal in financial year 2018.
5. Play space activities and play value within the reserve are limited, and the local board recognised an opportunity to improve the facilities within the reserve as part of the renewal project.
Previous decisions
6. The local board requested that the local community was consulted with on their vision for the reserve. Community consultation was undertaken in October 2017 with local neighbours, park visitors and local businesses adjacent to the reserve.
7. Feedback on the concept options was presented to the local board at a workshop in November 2017. At this workshop, the local board made a request for additional items to be incorporated into the design.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
8. A revised developed design proposal was prepared, and this was presented to the local board at a workshop on 14 March 2018. As part of the revised design process, safety in design principles were considered and a cost estimate prepared.
9. The revised design is included as Attachment A and includes –
· a larger basketball space;
· basketball containment fencing;
· furniture;
· climbing bars and a basket swing;
· pathway;
· a drinking fountain;
· passive surveillance; and
· a mural (this has been completed).
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views
10. The local board indicated their support of the revised design at the workshop on 14 March 2018.
11. Further investigation into the position of the proposed shade sail was requested, to ensure shade is provided at the most appropriate time of the day. This will be considered as part of the detailed design process. The location of the shade sail within the developed design proposal is indicative only.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
12. The project is part of the renewal programme, so engagement with mana whenua on this specific project has not been undertaken. It was considered that there was no particular relevance for Maori more than any other part of the community.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
13. Existing play space and furniture items will be renewed to the current design standards, and will be funded through council’s captial renewal programme.
14. The inclusion of additional play and structural elements within the revised design will require additional funding from the local board’s locally driven initiatives (LDI) capital budget. The additional elements are:
Reserve item |
Estimate of cost |
Basketball containment fence |
$7,000 |
Shade sail |
$15,000 |
Drinking fountain and utilities connection |
$14,000 |
Additional block wall to screen shop lean-to |
$5,000 |
Total |
$41,000 |
Contingency |
$ 8,200 |
Total LDI capital funding required |
$49,200 |
15. Greater shade sail coverage could be included within the final detailed design; however the location of trees and the height of play equipment structures may limit the location of the sails. LDI capital funding of $10,000 in addition to the $15,000 estimated, could be considered.
16. It is recommended that LDI captial funding of $49,200 in financial year 2018/2019 is allocated to the project. This will enable the reserve to be developed and constructed as proposed in the developed design proposal. A contingency sum has been included to allow for any potential construction cost increases that may occur.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
17. There is a risk that the project will be delayed if the developed design proposal is not approved, and additional LDI capital funding is not allocated. In order to meet the local board’s preferred time frame for delivery prior to mid-December 2018, the design and funding need to be approved in April 2018.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
18. If the recommendation is supported by the local board, the project will be progressed through the detailed design and procurement phases to enable construction in early summer.
19. The local community, shop tenants and owners will also be informed of the local board’s decision, and the proposed time frame for construction.

Concept Design for the Jean Sampson Reserve Toilet
File No.: CP2018/05251
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To seek approval from the Kaipātiki Local Board to proceed with the concept design for the new toilet block at Jean Sampson Reserve, as presented in Attachment A.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. The public toilets at 3 Bartley Street, Northcote Point are to be demolished and rebuilt at a new location in Jean Sampson Reserve, Northcote Point (resolution number KT/2017/129).
3. A concept design has been developed for the proposed new toilets at Jean Sampson Reserve (refer Attachment A).
4. The design is a two pan facility which has been adapted to fit within the heritage characteristics of Northcote Point, which are defined in the Auckland Unitary Plan as “Victorian, Edwardian and early 20th century architectural style villas and bungalows”.
5. The design has also been undertaken according to crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) standards, to minimise the likelihood of antisocial behaviours occurring at the new facilities, as has previously occurred at 3 Bartley Street.
6. Funding of up to $380,000 is identified in the Kaipātiki Local Board Community Facilities Work Programme (resolution number KT/2017/90) to implement the concept design as presented in Attachment A. The funding identified is considered to be sufficient.
7. Following approval by the Kaipātiki Local Board, the concept can be progressed to the detailed design and planning in order to undertake physical works in financial year 2018/2019.
Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s That the Kaipātiki Local Board: a) approve the concept design for the new toilet block at Jean Sampson Reserve, as presented in Attachment A to the agenda report.
|
8. In September 2017 the Kaipatiki Local Board resolved to renew the public toilet at 3 Bartley Street, Northcote Point by demolishing the existing toilet and rebuilding at a new location in Jean Sampson Reserve, Northcote Point (resolution number KT/2017/129).
9. As per the 20 September report to the Kaipātiki Local Board, the new toilet design at Jean Sampson Reserve was to include:
· The design would be a modern facility providing two unisex toilets customised to suit the site;
· The design of the building would need to be durable and sympathetic to Northcote Point’s heritage.
· The new facility would provide an accessible toilet with a possible baby changing facility;
· A water fountain can easily be easily to the site, as well as a bike stand;
· The new facility could be located near park assets, where the existing vegetation provides some screening but the entrance way is visible from the road and open area of the park; and
· The suggested location would provide easy connection to the existing wastewater system and the on-road water connection.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
10. Attachment A shows the concept design developed for the new toilets at Jean Sampson Reserve, including the preferred location within the reserve.
11. The location for the new toilet was selected based on the below benefits:
· a good level of separation between toilet and picnic area / playground;
· a good level of separation between the toilet and neighbouring properties;
· water fountain and toilet services are close together;
· no tree removals will be required;
· retains clear sight lines of playground and picnic area from street;
· visible and accessible to pedestrians / cyclists from the street; and
· orientation is to ensure parents can see their children go to the toilet from the playground, while maintaining passive surveillance from the street.
12. The toilet building is a two pan permaloo design, which has been adapted to fit within the local neighbourhood. The design theme was defined using the heritage characteristics of the area which are identified in the Auckland Unitary Plan as “Victorian, Edwardian and early 20th century architectural style villas and bungalows”.
13. The toilets themselves are both unisex, all accessible and will include baby changing tables
14. The concept design also includes
· a new concrete path connecting the toilet to the street and to the basketball court and playground;
· bike racks;
· drinking fountain with a dog bowl; and
· native shrub and native tree planting to better blend in the back of the toilet block into the rest of the reserve.
15. The Northcote Point Heritage Preservation Society have reviewed the concept design and have commented that they do not identify any heritage issues with the design, stating "This land was once occupied by old villas which were demolished as the start to the original roads on to/off the bridge. When the route was changed to the current route, demolition ceased. The design shown seems visually compatible / sympathetic”.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe / Local impacts and local board views
16. The boards preference was for an off the shelf variety of toilet that can be adapted to fit in with the local area, rather than a bespoke design. The concept design reflects this preference, as permaloo toilets are precast concrete toilets that arrive on site ready to connect and use.
17. During the public consultation for the options for the Bartley Street toilet, undertaken between 7 July 2017 and 31 July 2017, the two main concerns raised in regards to a Bartley Street toilets being relocated to Jean Sampson Reserve were:
· the problems with antisocial behaviour would continue in the new location; and
· the appearance of a new toilet would not fit with the heritage values of the area.
18. These two concerns have been addressed in the concept design, where:
· the design has been adapted to fit with the heritage area overlay in the Auckland Unitary Plan; and
· the design has been undertaken according to crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) standards, it is in a location where passive surveillance is enhanced, and the toilets can be locked at night.
19. 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 2015-2025 Long-term Plan, the Unitary Plan and local board plans.
20. Engagement with iwi identified as having an interest in the Kaipātiki Local Board was undertaken by way of an email to seek any expression of interest in the project.
21. Te Runanga o Ngati Whatua provided a response outlining their support for the concept design. Guidance and advice on the importance of ensuring that appropriate care is taking for areas of earthworks where archaeological evidence could be accidentally uncovered was also provided. As such, an archaeological report will be conducted along with archaeological monitoring in the proximity of the known heritage and cultural sites identified in the report. Otherwise the accidental discovery protocol will be adhered to.
22. Te Runanga o Ngati Whatua also requested the below points, which have been incorporated in to the scope of the project:
· that any intrusive works be kept to a minimum as much as practicable;
· that any required landscaping works adopt the Te Aranga Design Principles;
· that, where possible, locally sourced natural materials are utilised;
· it is also important to try and ensure cut or fill material is not removed from or imported to site to protect what remains of the mauri of the original land;
· earthwork activities should follow robust sediment controls to ensure harbour or inlet edge protection of a significant ecological area; and
· stormwater run-off management via on-site treatment rather than mere drainage or discharge to the receiving environment. Iwi preference is through cost-effective mechanisms such as utilising permeable materials in place of impervious concrete, along with the installation of riparian planting, vegetated swales or rain gardens. Iwi view every new construction project as playing a positive role towards the enhancement of the Waitemata Harbour, and consequently Auckland’s waterways, harbours and coasts healthy.
23. Te Kawerau a Maki responded they would like to be kept updated through the project but did not require further involvement at this time.
24. Ngaati Whanaunga undertook a site visit to Jean Sampson Reserve with council staff on 22 March 2018. Ngaati Whanaunga supports the project and have also requested a number of actions, as listed below, which will be incorporated in to the detailed design and construction phase:
· move the drinking fountain away from the toilet doors as much as possible, to respect cultural practices of not mixing toilet areas and drinking water;
· take into account Te Aranga Design Principles by incorporating Māori patterning in the concrete work and using Māori names where possible; and
· support an archaeological assessment to be undertaken and accidental discovery protocol be adhered to during any earthworks.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
25. Funding of up to $380,000 is identified in the Kaipātiki Local Board Community Facilities Work Programme (resolution number KT/2017/90) for the renewal of the Bartley Street toilets.
26. The funding identified is considered to be sufficient for the delivery of the concept design as presented in Attachment A.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
27. More accurate cost details will be identified during the progression of the project through detailed design and procurement. As a result, the budget required may need to be reviewed as more detailed costs are received.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
28. The concept design for the new toilet at Jean Sampson Reserve has been designed and is proposed to be located in a manner that does not require resource consent.
29. Following approval by the Kaipātiki Local Board, the Community Facilities Project Delivery Team can progress with the detailed design and planning for physical works, with the aim to undertake physical works in financial year 2018/2019.
30. The demolition of the toilets at 3 Bartley Street will need to be included in the scope of the project. This will need to be aligned with the decision for the future use of the land, which the Kaipatiki Bocal Board is currently working through with the Community Facilities Stakeholders and Land Advisory team. Resource consent for the demolition can still be sought while this process is underway.

Disposal recommendations report - R25 Alfred Street, Northcote Point
File No.: CP2018/05248
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. This report seeks the Kaipātiki Local Board’s endorsement for Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) to recommend to the Finance and Performance Committee the disposal of one council owned property in the Kaipātiki Local Board area.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. The council-owned site at R25 Alfred Street, Northcote Point (also known as Rosie Bolt Reserve) has been identified as potentially surplus to council requirements through a review process. The rationalisation process commenced in December 2016. Consultation with council departments and its CCOs, iwi authorities and the Kaipātiki Local Board has now taken place.
3. The board is opposed to a disposal in principle on the basis that it considers the subject site to be of significant heritage value. Council’s Heritage and Built and Cultural Heritage Policy teams have assessed the site and found it does not meet the criteria for historic heritage significance to warrant it being formally scheduled. As no alternative service use has been identified for the subject site through the rationalisation process, Panuku recommends its disposal.
4. A resolution approving the disposal of the subject site 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 CCOs 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.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
Property Information
7. R25 Alfred Street, Northcote Point is a vacant 472m2 site formed as informal open space. It is the remainder of land acquired in 1923 by the former Northcote Borough Council for the purpose of a proposed pumping station and road extension.
8. The subject site is named for Rosie Bolt, a former adjoining land owner and the wife of former Northcote Borough Councillor Michael Gavin Bolt.
9. During a 2015 review, Watercare confirmed the subject site is not a Watercare asset and it is not required for future infrastructure purposes. Auckland Transport confirmed it is not an AT asset and there is no strategic requirement for it to be retained for transport infrastructure purposes. It was confirmed that R25 Alfred Street, Northcote Point was not in council’s Community Facilities fixed asset register, with council’s Parks and Recreation Policy team providing advice that the subject site is not required for an open space function as it is located less than 300 metres away from Stafford Park and the site’s size does not provide adequate area for a range of recreational experiences. R25 Alfred Street, Northcote Point was subsequently the subject of a Panuku led rationalisation process.
10. The Auckland Unitary Plan zoning is residential - single house. It has a 2017 capital valuation of $680,000.
11. R25 Alfred Street, Northcote Point is not likely to subject to offer back obligations to the former owner in accordance with section 40 of the Public Works Act 1981.
Internal Consultation
12. The rationalisation process commenced in December 2016. No alternate service uses for the subject site were identified during the internal consultation.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te
poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views
13. Panuku consulted with the Kaipātiki Local Board Chair and Deputy Chair regarding the subject site in August 2017.
14. At its 18 October 2017 business meeting, the board tabled information from former Northcote Borough and North Shore City Councillor Mr Brian Putt regarding Rosie Bolt Reserve. The board resolved that the information be forwarded to relevant officers for consideration, that the board considers the subject site to be of significant heritage value and is opposed to a disposal in principle.
15. Panuku attended a workshop with the board regarding R25 Alfred Street, Northcote Point in February 2018. In response to its 18 October 2017 resolutions, the board was advised that council’s Heritage and Built and Cultural Heritage Policy teams had assessed the subject site and advised that the former North Shore City Council did not record the subject site as having heritage values. Based on the information available, the Heritage and Built and Cultural Heritage Policy teams advised that the subject site is not likely to meet the criteria for historic heritage significance to warrant it being formally scheduled. The board was also advised that council’s Community Facilities Arboricultural and Ecology Specialist provided advice that there are no plant species of significance present at R25 Alfred Street, Northcote Point.
16. This report provides the board with an opportunity to formalise its views regarding the subject site.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
17. 12 iwi authorities were contacted regarding the potential sale of 25R Alfred Street, Northcote. The following feedback was received.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
18. Capital receipts from the sale of surplus properties contribute to Auckland Plan outcomes and the LTP by providing the Council with an efficient use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities and projects. In the 2017/2018 financial year, the LTP has forecast the disposal of non-strategic council assets to the combined value of of $67 million.
19. In accordance with the Local Government Act 2002, the annual statement of intent states the activities and intentions of Panuku, the objectives that those activities will contribute to and performance measures and targets as the basis of organisational accountability. For the 2017/2018 financial year Panuku is required to identify properties from within council’s portfolio that may be suitable for potential sale to a combined value of $60 million and to sell $100 million of property by 30 June 2018.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
20. No risks associated with the recommendation contained in this report have been identified.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
21. As no alternative service uses have been identified, following receipt of the Kaipātiki Local Board’s resolutions, the subject site will be presented to the Finance and Performance Committee with a recommendation to divest. If the committee approves the proposed disposal of the subject site, Panuku will seek to divest of the subject site in a manner which ideally provides an optimal return to council.
22. The terms and conditions of any disposal would be approved under appropriate financial delegation.
23. There is historical interest recorded on file from the adjoining landowner in acquiring the subject site. Should the site be approved for divestment, this can be explored further.

Local Transport Capital Fund: options for distribution and size of the fund
File No.: CP2018/05032
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. This report seeks formal feedback from the local board on options for the future size and underlying distribution methodology of the local transport capital fund (LTCF) and on the proposal to increase advisory support for the fund from Auckland Transport staff.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. In September 2017, the Governing Body agreed in principle to an increase to the LTCF as an outcome of the governance framework review. Staff were directed to undertake further work with Auckland Transport and local boards on the size of the increase, and the distribution methodology.
3. The LTCF was established in 2012 and currently sits at $10.8 million. It is allocated on a pure population basis. Two options for the size of funding increase have been modelled: an increase of $6 million and an increase of $10 million.
4. Staff have also modelled three different distribution options: the current population model, a model applying the Local Boards Funding Policy, and a model that includes a mix of a fixed level of funding per board, along with a variable rate determined by the Local Boards Funding Policy.
5. Each of the options has been assessed against a set of criteria. The pure population model is not supported by staff, while each of the other two models has merits. On balance, staff recommend that the Local Boards Funding Policy be applied to the distribution of the LTCF, with an additional amount of $10 million being added to the fund. Feedback is sought from local boards on their views and preferences.
6. It is also recommended that Auckland Transport have funding allocated to provide an increased level of support to local boards in developing and assessing local transport projects.
7. Final decisions will be made by the Governing Body as part of the 10-year budget process in May.
Horopaki / Context
8. The LTCF was established by resolution of the Strategy and Finance Committee (resolution number SF/2012/40) in April 2012. This was to provide local boards with access to funding for transport projects that had strong local significance, but which were unlikely to be prioritised through the regional transport planning process.
9. Establishment of the fund is consistent with the government’s original policy intent that local boards would have a role in funding local transport projects out of a dedicated local budget (Cabinet Minute (09) 30/10), and that “local boards will have an advisory role with respect to transport services and a budget for the transport elements of ‘place shaping’[1]”.
10. The objectives of the fund are to:
· ensure locally important transport projects are given appropriate priority; and
· provide local boards with more direct ability to influence local transport projects.
11. Projects must be deliverable, meet transport safety criteria and not compromise the network. Auckland Transport retains responsibility for delivering projects delivered through this funding and the budget remains with Auckland Transport. Depreciation and consequential operating expenditure are also the responsibility of Auckland Transport, as is the core administration of the fund.
12. The fund was initially set at $10 million per annum which has since been adjusted for inflation, and now sits at $10.8 million. Funding is currently split between local boards on the basis of population, excepting Waiheke and Great Barrier Island local boards, which receive 2 per cent and 1 per cent of the fund respectively. The population figures that the distribution is based on have remained at 2012[2] levels.
13. At the Governing Body meeting of 28 September 2017, at which the recommendations of the Governance Framework Review Political Working Party were considered, it was agreed (resolution number GB/2017/117) that officers would report back to the Governing Body through the 10-year budget process on options for significantly increasing the LTCF, as well as providing an assessment of options for allocating the additional funding.
14. This report provides options for the quantum of the proposed increase, the method of allocating the proposed increase among the 21 local boards, and issues relating to the administration of the fund. Workshops have been held with each local board to discuss these proposals and now formal feedback is sought through business meetings. Final recommendations will be made to the Governing Body in May 2018.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
15. Issues with the LTCF identified through the Governance Framework Review were grouped under three key themes:
· the overall size, or quantum, of the LTCF;
· the methodology underpinning its distribution among local boards; and
· the administration and support provided by Auckland Transport to local boards in relation to developing options and projects for consideration.
Quantum of funding
16. When the LTCF was initially established at $10 million, the figure was not based on any specific assessment of need, but more on the recognition that smaller, local projects that had a strong place shaping component were unlikely to be funded according to Auckland Transport and New Zealand Transport Agency’s (NZTA) prioritisation formulas.
17. While the fund took some time to get established, it is now delivering valuable transport related outcomes for communities across Auckland. The LTCF spend forecast in the 2016‑17 financial year was $17 million, as local boards have been able to accumulate funding across years to put towards more significant projects. LTCF funding has delivered 286 projects over the five-year period.
18. The LTCF contribution to these local projects has also been complemented through the input of additional funds from Auckland Transport (as well as NZTA subsidy) with the value of the work they have delivered to their communities being substantially leveraged through this additional funding.
19. Staff have modelled the impact of the proposed increase on individual local boards according to a range of distribution models. In doing so, two different levels of increase have been used – the $10 million figure as initially proposed by Auckland Transport, and a lower figure of $6 million.
20. Neither figure is based on specific needs assessment, but Auckland Transport is of the view that a baseline of approximately $650,000 a year per local board is desirable to give individual boards the resources to support significant local projects. This would require an increase of at least $6 million per annum.
21. Local boards that have had access to higher levels of funding have generally found it easier to leverage LTCF budget to attract NZTA subsidies and additional Auckland Transport funding, e.g. projects that are being brought forward as a result of LTCF investment. Successful examples include the Half Moon Bay ferry terminal, the Mt Albert Station Bridge and the Māngere Future Streets project.
Distribution methodology
22. This section provides modelling of three distribution options applied to two levels of overall increase (sub-option A being an increase of $6 million, and sub-option B being an increase of $10 million). The options are:
· Option 1: status quo – simple population-based distribution of both the existing fund and any additional funding;
· Option 2: applying the current Local Boards Funding Policy to the distribution of the fund; and
· Option 3: a model that provides for a fixed level of baseline funding for all boards, as well as a variable component based on the Local Boards Funding Policy.
Population-based distribution
23. In 2012, the Governing Body elected to distribute the first iteration of the LTCF purely on a population basis, following consultation with local boards[3]. The distribution has not been adjusted to account for population distribution changes since the fund was established.
24. The option of applying the population-based distribution methodology has been modelled (refer Attachment A) based on Statistics New Zealand 2017 population estimates. As is evident from the modelling, the impact on boards with higher populations is the most significant in terms of an increase in funding, especially if the additional amount is $10 million.
25. Under this model, however, if the additional amount is $6 million, six boards would still fall short of the $650,000 baseline figure identified by Auckland Transport as being desirable to enable the delivery of viable local transport proposals.
Applying the Local Boards Funding Policy to the LTCF
26. Following establishment of the LTCF, work was undertaken to develop the current Local Boards Funding Policy, as required under the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009. This policy was adopted in 2014 and uses an allocation methodology incorporating three factors: population (90 per cent), deprivation (5 per cent) and land area (5 per cent). This funding policy is currently applied to locally driven initiatives funding, including the local driven initiatives capital funding, but was not retrospectively applied to the LTCF.
27. Development of the Local Boards Funding Policy involved significant consultation and engagement with local boards prior to final adoption. There are no current plans to review the policy.
28. The option of applying the Local Boards Funding Policy to the distribution of the LTCF has been modelled (refer Attachment B). This modelling has been applied to the existing fund and the additional amounts of $6 million and $10 million and is also based on 2017 population estimates.
Fixed and variable costs distribution
29. As previously noted, Auckland Transport has the view that to deliver transport infrastructure of any significance, a certain level of baseline funding is desirable – around $650,000 per annum per local board, based on practical experience.
30. Many local boards have achieved significant results with their local transport projects, but transport infrastructure is inherently costly, and costs tend not to vary according to location. For example, a footbridge and walking path in Pukekohe will tend to cost the same as a comparable one in Glenfield.
31. In considering the distribution methodology for the extended fund, Auckland Transport has put forward the following factors as being relevant:
· the cost of building transport infrastructure is not directly related to the size of the population it serves;
· mature areas with high populations tend to already have higher quality and better developed transport infrastructure;
· the existing Auckland Transport/NZTA criteria for regional transport spending tend to favour, as would be expected, areas of high density and growth; and
· the physical size of an area tends to have a correlation with the need for transport infrastructure e.g. the number of settlements, town centres.
32. A distribution model based on a split of fixed and variable costs has also been modelled as an option. The methodology involves 50 per cent of the entire quantum of funding being distributed by an even split (except for Great Barrier and Waiheke Island local boards which receive one third and two thirds of a single share respectively), thus giving all other local boards the same level of core funding. The other 50 per cent of the funding would be distributed according to the Local Boards Funding Policy.
33. Options have been modelled (refer Attachment C) to apply this fixed/variable costs model to the distribution of the LTCF.
Assessing the options
34. Each of the three distribution models has elements to recommend it and others that detract from it. In assessing the models, the following assessment criteria have been applied:
· transparency and ease of understanding for communities and stakeholders;
· equity and fairness of outcomes across the region;
· ensuring delivery of good local transport outcomes; and
· recognising the role of local boards as leaders of place shaping with their communities.
35. Assessment of the options against these criteria is set out below.
Options 1a and 1b – population-based distribution
36. These options have been modelled on 2017 Statistics New Zealand population estimates.
37. A pure population-based approach has the benefit of being objective, transparent and straightforward and means that funding received is proportionate to the number of ratepayers. It was however, recognised at the time that applying this approach to areas of extremely low population (Waiheke and Great Barrier Islands) would result in those boards receiving insufficient funding to achieve anything practical, hence the application of the 1 and 2 per cent formula for the island boards. A similar approach is also used in the Local Boards Funding Policy.
38. The limitations of this approach are that it does not address either the level of need in a given local board area, or the underlying cost drivers of transport infrastructure. Hence, large areas of low population density with significant roading networks and multiple population centres are funded at the same, or lower, level as smaller urban communities of interest with already well-developed transport infrastructure, but higher population density.
39. The distribution methodology is simple, transparent, and easy for communities and stakeholders to understand. In terms of delivering equity and fairness, this model delivers the widest differential of funding levels across boards, with the highest funded board receiving 2.78 times the amount of the lowest funded board (excluding the two island boards).
40. Option 1a also results in six boards receiving less than Auckland Transport’s benchmark identified as desirable for supporting good local transport outcomes in communities. The model limits the potential for those boards to actively implement their role as local place shapers and to leverage additional investment into their projects. This model, and therefore Options 1a and 1b, is not supported by either Auckland Council or Auckland Transport staff.
Options 2a and 2b – Local Boards Funding Policy based distribution
41. This distribution method involves application of the current Local Boards Funding Policy. The policy is currently applied to distribution of funding for local activities (including local capital expenditure) to local boards, and is based on the following factors: 90 per cent population[4], 5 percent deprivation[5] and 5 per cent land area[6].
42. Applying the Local Boards Funding Policy is a simple methodology that has a clear rationale, is easily described to the community and is consistent with council’s wider approach to funding local boards. It takes account of multiple factors, delivering a more equitable distribution of funding, especially to boards with lower populations but very large land areas and roading networks.
43. Reviewing the projects that have been funded from the LTCF to date, it is clear that much of the local boards’ focus has been on ‘people-centred’ transport projects, for example pedestrian safety improvements, walkways and cycleways, footpaths and streetscape improvements. This is consistent with the principles underpinning the Local Boards Funding Policy, i.e. that population is the key driver of need for the funding, but that geography and deprivation also need to be considered.
44. This distribution methodology evens out the increase in funding across the 21 boards. The boards with a larger land area receive more funding than under the pure population model, and all boards receive the proposed level of baseline funding, but only under the $10 million quantum increase.
45. Under this model, however, the level of funding that accrues to the more populous boards becomes very substantial in relation to that for the smaller boards, due to the compounding impact of the distribution model. For example, the Howick Local Board would receive over $1.7 million and Henderson-Massey over $1.4 million. Despite these extremes, this option provides an arguably more equitable and nuanced distribution of funding, as well as being consistent with current funding policy.
46. Its variation between the lowest and highest level of funding is still high, with the highest funded board receiving 2.57 times the amount of the lowest funded board. Under Option 2a, five boards still receive less than Auckland Transport’s desirable benchmark for delivering good local transport outcomes in communities, and it limits the potential for those boards to actively implement their role as local place shapers.
47. This is the preferred option based on consistency with the existing funding policy, assessment against the criteria and recognition of the population focus of projects delivered using this fund. The preferred option is for the $10 million quantum as better providing for good local transport outcomes and delivering local place shaping.
Options 3a and 3b – fixed and variable cost distribution
48. This model is more complex and less transparent to communities and stakeholders than the other models. The identification of the benchmark figure is based on Auckland Transport’s experience of administering the fund over the past five years and the learning that has been gained from this, rather than in-depth financial analysis of infrastructure costs.
49. The results of this distribution are similar to applying the Local Boards Funding Policy, in that a similar number of local boards benefit under each model. However, it is different local boards that benefit from each model. In terms of equity and fairness, this model reduces the difference between the highest funded and lowest funded boards and also brings all boards above the $650,000 benchmark, even under Option 3a ($6 million increase).
50. The model reduces the impact of population on the distribution of funding however, which is a core component of current funding policy and the focus of the projects delivered using the LTCF. The model performs well against the criteria of enabling the delivery of good local transport outcomes and supporting the role of local boards as place shapers.
Summary of assessment of options
51. Of the three distribution models assessed, the current model of pure population distribution performed the poorest and is not recommended by either Auckland Council or Auckland Transport staff.
52. The other two models deliver mixed results against the criteria. On balance, staff recommend that the Local Boards Funding Policy distribution best meets the criteria and is consistent with current funding policy. The final recommendation to the Governing Body will also be informed by feedback from local boards through this process.
Administration of the LTCF
53. When the LTCF was established in 2012, it was recognised that there would be an impact on Auckland Transport as the fund administrator. While design costs are capitalised within the cost of a specific project, there are also additional costs in developing options, undertaking feasibility studies, assessing proposals and general administration.
54. It was noted at the time that if each local board proposed three or four projects a year that this could place a considerable burden on Auckland Transport, and it was recommended that this be reviewed at the time the fund was reviewed. Given the proposed increase to the size of the fund, this issue needs to be revisited.
55. Auckland Transport’s advice on LTCF investment focusses on whether a project put forward by a local board is technically feasible, and whether it is realistic in light of the available funding from the LTCF. During the Governance Framework Review, some local board members raised concerns about the nature and quality of advice received from Auckland Transport in relation to LTCF proposals. Local boards felt that advice was limited to assessing their proposal against criteria, rather than helping them identify and develop high quality proposals.
56. It is recommended that Auckland Transport be allocated additional operating expenditure funding in support of the LTCF, to be used to develop a more systematic and responsive work programme with local boards around the application of the LTCF. This will include supporting boards to investigate and develop options for projects for consideration. A sum of $500,000 per annum is recommended to support this deliverable.

Local impacts and local board views
57. Workshops have been held with every local board and a range of initial feedback has been received. Discussion on collective views has also taken place at the Local Board Chairs’ Forum. While some local boards have given early indication of their preferred options, others have reserved the right to engage in further consideration ahead of providing formal feedback.
58. There was general support for an increase to the fund and for additional funding to be provided to Auckland Transport to provide advice on projects. There were mixed views on options for allocating the fund. As noted in the assessment of options, each of the options for the amount of increase and the distribution methodology affects individual boards differently.
59. Growth was raised by some boards as a factor that should be considered. Staff’s view is that the population element of each of the models addresses this, as current population is the only reliable indicator of growth. Population estimates are updated and will be applied to the distribution criteria of the fund annually.
60. As noted in the assessment of options, each of the options for the amount of increase and the distribution methodology affects individual boards differently. A recent presentation to the Local Board Chairs’ Forum noted that it would be helpful for the Governing Body to have a clear preference signalled by the majority of local boards in order to facilitate its decision making.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
61. A move away from a pure population-based distribution model would take into account deprivation and land area factors. Both options 2 and 3 include a deprivation component, although this is greater in option 2. This would have some positive impact on local board areas where there is a higher Māori population.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
62. The source of the additional funding is not addressed in this report, as it is being considered through the overall budget setting process in the 10-year budget. Essentially however, there are two options that the Governing Body will need to consider:
· that additional funding comes from rates and/or borrowing; and/or
· Auckland Transport reprioritises within its existing funding envelope.
63. The proposed size of the increase to the fund (both options) is not significant enough within the overall transport budget to be able to enable transparent trade-offs at a detailed level e.g. which specific transport projects might not be funded in the Regional Land Transport Plan in a given year if the LTCF is increased.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
64. No significant risks have been identified
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
65. Final decisions will be made by the Governing Body as part of the 10-year budget process in May. Any new funding and change to the distribution methodology will be applied from 1 July 2018.

Auckland Transport Local Board Transport Capital Fund Kaipatiki Local Board Project Consideration
File No.: CP2018/05257
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To progress the allocation of the remaining Auckland Transport Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF).
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. This report focuses on allocating the remaining budget left in the LBTCF.
3. This report provides an indication of those projects supported by the local board members to assist the board with allocating LBTCF budget. These include infrastructure to improve walking and cycling facilities in the Kaipatiki area.
4. Recommendations in this report were arrived at by assessing a list of potential projects at a Kaipatiki Local Board workshop on 7 March 2018 from a range of suggestions put forward by local board members.
Horopaki / Context
5. Within Auckland Transport’s capital programme, $10 million per annum (plus inflation adjustments) is ring fenced for local board transport infrastructure priorities that are local in nature. The fund is split between local boards on the basis of population, except for Waiheke and Great Barrier.
6. On 8 May 2014, the Budget Committee resolved to recommend that Auckland Transport (AT) be requested to enable the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) to be allocated outside the transport corridor where there is clear benefit in terms of supporting alternative means of transport, including walking and cycling.
7. Auckland Transport retains responsibility for this budget and also needs to approve of any project proposed.
8. Local boards can use this fund to deliver projects that they consider are important in their areas but are not otherwise part of Auckland Transport’s work programme.
9. 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 that have yet to commit funding to projects, this is becoming increasingly unlikely.
10. One of the requirements of the Local Board Transport Capital Fund is that the budgets must be spent within the same electoral term, subject to Auckland Transport having the ability to manage the cash flow. ‘Carry forwards’ to subsequent political terms are not allowed.
11. There is currently $1,460,565 remaining in the Kaipatiki LBTCF to be allocated to the board’s desired projects.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
12. A full list of the projects considered at the local board workshop on 7 March 2018 is included at Attachment A.
13. The current schedule of Local Board Capital Fund projects and allocations is included at Attachment B.
14. The Kaipatiki Local Board needs to resolve the projects they wish to progress along with a monetary commitment.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe / Local impacts and local board views
15. Local board plan outcomes are a consideration in the allocation of these funds.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
16. No specific issues with regards to impacts on Maori are triggered by this report, and any engagement with Maori will be carried out on an individual project basis.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
17. The financial implication of the local board approving allocation of these funds will ensure the full allocation is committed to projects and delivered within this current electoral term.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
18. Auckland Transport will put risk management strategies in place on a project-by-project basis.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
19. Auckland Transport will progress the decisions made by the local board as a result of this report, and will provide rough order of costs (ROCs) and updates via the monthly reporting process.

Horopaki / Context
5. The Auckland Council Community Grants Policy was implemented on 1 July 2015. The policy guides the allocation of local, multi-board and regional grants to groups and organisations delivering projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders.
6. The Community Grants Policy supports each local board to review and adopt their own local grants programme for the next financial year. The local board grants programme guides community groups and individuals when making applications to the local board.
7. The local board community grants programme includes:
· outcomes as identified in the local board plan;
· specific local board grant priorities;
· which grant types will operate, the number of grant rounds and opening and closing dates;
· any additional criteria or exclusions that will apply; and
· other factors the local board consider to be significant to their decision-making.
8. Once the local board community grants programme for the 2018/2019 financial year has been adopted, the types of grants, grant rounds, criteria and eligibility will be advertised through an integrated communication and marketing approach which includes utilising the local board channels.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
9. The new Kaipātiki community grants programme has been workshopped with the local board and feedback incorporated into the grants programme for 2018/2019.
10. The new grant programme includes:
· new outcomes and priorities from the Kaipātiki Local Board Plan 2017;
· the same number of grant rounds for 2018/2019, as are available in 2017/2018;
· two new higher priorities, including:
o applicants based and operating within the Kaipātiki area providing and targeting services, benefits and participation opportunities for Kaipātiki residents; and
o targets and supports local resident participation;
· three new lower priorities:
o applications for food - unless the provision of food will enable the project outcomes to be achieved (applicant will need to provide evidence of how this will be measured and achieved);
o applications where the applicant has a considerable cash surplus (relative to the amount applied for), unless the applicant can verify that it is a specifically tagged reserve that cannot be used as a contribution towards the submitted project; and
o applications that consistently seek ongoing organisation administrative costs for staff and overheads; and
· an addition that individuals can be funded if they nominate an umbrella organisation.

Panuku Development Auckland Local Board six-mothly update 1 September 2017 - 28 February 2018
File No.: CP2018/05250
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To update the Kaipātiki Local Board on Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) activities within the local board area for the six months from 1 September 2017 to 28 February 2018.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. Panuku was established in September 2015 due to the merger of two council controlled organisations (CCOs), 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 is continuously reviewed 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 Kaipātiki Local Board: a) receive the Panuku Development Auckland Local Board update for 1 September 2017 to 28 February 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 Kaipātiki Local Board area:
Unlock Northcote
8. Unlock priority locations are areas where Auckland Council is not necessarily the major land holder and have been identified as requiring Panuku to be the facilitator by using its relationships to break down barriers and influencing others including council family organisations to create development opportunities.
9. Northcote was chosen as an Unlock location as the result of a council-led assessment across the region’s urban centres. These were chosen based on development potential including scale and impact, key land holdings, commercial viability, partnership opportunities, the ability to leverage off previous investment and proximity to public transport.
10. Northcote is a vibrant, multi-cultural town centre with a great choice of food outlets and established community facilities. Local residents have told Auckland Council that the town centre needs to be revitalised, and that they want to see housing and commercial developments which strengthen the community and reinforce the local character.
11. Unlock Northcote was approved for development by the Auckland Development Committee (now Planning Committee) in December 2015. In March 2016 Panuku was given the mandate to progress with the planning for the development. A Framework Plan for the Unlock Northcote area was published in November 2016, and forms the basis for current planning and design work.
12. Panuku is continuing to work on developing masterplans and concept designs for key aspects of the Unlock Northcote programme, including the town centre, greenway, and the other key move projects.
13. Engagement is ongoing with a wide range of stakeholders and partner agencies: Kaipatiki Local Board, mana whenua, a community reference group, Auckland Council family departments, business owners, and schools.
14. Panuku continues to work closely with Housing New Zealand (HNZ) and Homes Land Community (HLC) to ensure that the two developments are well integrated. The Awataha Greenway project is a jointly-funded and developed project by HLC, HNZ and Panuku.
15. Developed designs for the first sections of the Awataha Greenway are underway. A phased construction programme is also being developed.
16. Progress on the amenity upgrading of Lake Road has been put on hold, pending funding availability, which is being sought through the 2018 Long-term Plan (LTP) process.
17. Regular placemaking activities are continuing in order, to help build and engage the Northcote community and activate the town centre.
18. Ongoing discussions and negotiations have been initiated with a number of potentially interested external funders and development parties, which are at a very early stage.
Portfolio management
19. 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 were generally being held for planned future projects that are no longer required, such as road construction, park expansion or development of future town centres.
20. 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.
21. 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 $1.1 million ahead of budget.
22. 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 Kaipātiki Local Board Area
23. Panuku currently manages a number of commercial and residential interests within the Kaipātiki Local Board area.
24. A list of properties managed in the Kaipātiki Local Board area is attached to this report.
Business interests
25. 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.
26. There are currently no managed business interests in the Kaipātiki Local Board area.
Portfolio strategy
Optimisation
27. 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.
28. 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
29. 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
30. Panuku works closely with council and AT to identify potential surplus properties to help achieve disposal targets.
31. Target for July 2017 to June 2018:
Unit |
Target |
Achieved |
Portfolio review |
$60 million disposal recommendations |
$30.25 million as at 28 February 2018 |
Process
32. 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
33. Properties currently under review in the Kaipātiki 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.

Details |
R 25 Alfred Street, Northcote Point |
Vacant parcel of land (also known as Rosie Bolt Reserve) formed as informal open space. It is the remainder of land acquired by the former Northcote Borough Council for the purpose of a proposed pumping station and road extension in 1923.
The subject site is named after a former local resident and wife of former Northcote Borough Councillor Michael Gavin Bolt.
It is the subject of a Panuku led rationalisation process following a review. Council’s Parks and Recreation Policy team advise the subject site is not required for open space purposes due to its limited size and proximity to Stafford Park. Council’s Parks Operations team advise there are no significant tree specimens or species present. AT advise there is no strategic requirement for the subject site to be retained for transport infrastructure purposes. Council’s Built Heritage Implementation and Cultural Heritage Policy teams advise that it is not likely to meet the criteria for assessment of historic heritage significance and warrant it being formally scheduled.
Panuku consulted with the board chair and deputy chair regarding the subject site in August 2017. The board resolved in October 2017 that it is opposed to a disposal in principle, as it considers Rosie Bolt Reserve to be of significant heritage value.
Panuku consulted with the board in February 2018, and a report on this topic appears on this agenda seeking local board views and preferences. |
Acquisitions and Disposals
34. Panuku manages the acquisition and disposal of property on behalf of Auckland Council. Panuku purchases property for development, roads, infrastructure projects and other service. These properties may be sold with or without contractual requirements for development.
Acquisitions
35. 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.
36. Panuku purchased eight properties for open space across Auckland in this financial year (ending 30 June 2018) at a cost of $19.7 million, and also bought six properties for storm water use at a value of $4.2 million.
37. No properties were purchased in the Kaipātiki Local Board area during the reporting period.
Disposals
38. The disposal team sold eight properties for a total of $10.7 million this financial year. The team’s 2017/2018 target is $8.0 million for the year. The target is agreed with the council and is reviewed on an annual basis.
39. No properties were sold in the Kaipātiki Local Board area.
Housing for Older People
40. The council owns 1412 units located in 62 villages across Auckland, which provides rental housing to low income older people in Auckland.
41. The Housing for Older People (HfOP) project involved the council partnering with a third-party organisation, The Selwyn Foundation, to deliver social rental housing services for older people across Auckland.
42. The joint venture business, named Haumaru Housing, took over the tenancy, facilities and asset management of the portfolio, under a long-term lease arrangement from 1 July 2017.
43. Haumaru Housing was granted community housing provider (CHP) status in April 2017. Having CHP registration enables Haumaru to access the government’s Income Related Rent Subsidy (IRRS) scheme.
44. Auckland Council has delegated Panuku to lead a new multi-year residential development programme.
45. The first new development project is a 40-unit apartment building on the former Wilsher Village site on Henderson Valley Road, Henderson. Once completed in mid-2019, this development will increase the council’s portfolio to 1452 units.
46. The following HfOP villages are located within the Kaipātiki Local Board area:

Regional Activities
Highlights
47. Over the year, Panuku achieved key project milestones and performance results in our priority development locations. Panuku categorises three types of priority locations:
48. 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.
49. 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.
50. 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
51. 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.
52. ‘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.
53. The high-level plan to ‘Transform 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 strategic council-owned land, and works in partnership with 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 the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA). The final board of inquiry decision approving the East-West link was given in January 2018. Panuku is however, expecting amended plans later this year. Working with the local board and key stakeholders, Panuku has advanced plans on the town centre and the Onehunga wharf precinct where possible. The Framework Plan that will guide the transformation is due for completion in April 2018.
Unlock locations
54. 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.
55. 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.
56. 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 we will continue to strengthen connections between these activity hubs and the town. A focus for the regeneration of Avondale is working 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.
57. 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.
58. 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.
59. 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
60. 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.
