Aotea Boardriders Club Incorporated – Grant of an Agreement to Lease - Sandhills Reserve Great Barrier Island

File No.: CP2018/06200

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To grant an agreement to lease for an area of the Sandhills Reserve at the end of Sandhills Road to the Aotea Boardriders Club Incorporated.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. The Aotea Boardriders Club Incorporated was established in 2003 and has operated from various locations on the island.

3. The club is now well established providing a range of educational and recreational opportunities related to surfing and is keen to establish permanent clubrooms.

4. In 2015 the club requested local board funding to build clubrooms. The initial site for this proved unsuitable but the club was encouraged to continue searching for a clubrooms site. After considering several options, in 2016 identified the Sandhills Reserve at the end of Sandhills Road as suitable.

5. This report reviews the history of the request, the process that has been undertaken and recommends the local board grant an agreement to lease to the Aotea Boardriders Club Incorporated.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendations

That the Great Barrier Local Board:

a) grant an agreement to lease to the Aotea Boardriders Club Incorporated for part of the Sandhills Reserve at the eastern end of Sandhills Road described as Lot 9 DP 61572 (Attachment A to the agenda report) subject to the following terms and conditions:

i) Term - three (3) years commencing 15 May 2018

ii) Rent - $1.00 per annum if demanded

iii) the Aotea Boardriders Club Incorporated raising sufficient funds for the project

iv) the Aotea Boardriders Club Incorporated obtaining all the required approvals to undertake the project (including landowner approval and other regulatory consents)

v) the Aotea Boardriders Club Incorporated completing the project on the site and obtaining a code compliance certificate for the proposed clubrooms

b) agree that if the requirements of the agreement to lease are not satisfied by 14 May 2021 the agreement will end

c) note that a draft community lease will be attached to the agreement to lease subject to the following terms and conditions:

i) Term – ten (10) years plus one right of renewal for ten (10) years commencing 15 May 2021

ii) Rent - $1.00 per annum if demanded

d) All other terms and conditions will be in accordance with the Auckland Council Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012

Horopaki / Context

6. The Aotea Boardriders Club Incorporated is wishing to build clubrooms on Great Barrier Island now that the club is well established. This will allow it to progress and provide a more permanent base for its activities on the island.

7. This report reviews the history of the investigation for a suitable location for clubrooms and examines the details of the proposed site.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

The land and site

8. The site is shown on the GIS aerial view at Attachment A. It is bounded by Sandhills Road on two sides, there are rights of way on the west side that lead to the Department of Conservation land to the south. There is private residential property to the west of the rights of way.

9. The site is undulating and has a mature stand of macrocarpa trees and two water tanks that are fed from a creek and provide water for the Department of Conservation campground.

10. The land is legally described as Lot 9 DP 61572 and has an area of approximately 1821m² and is classified as recreation reserve under the Reserves Act 1977. As noted the site is adjacent to the Department of Conservation campground.

11. The land is described as Open Space in the Auckland Council District Plan – Hauraki Gulf Islands. Buildings with a footprint of less than 50m² are permitted and marine recreational facilities are a discretionary activity. If there is any removal or pruning of trees required as part of the proposal, this would require a resource consent.

12. As there isn’t a Reserve Management Plan for Sandhills Reserve, staff undertook engagement with iwi in accordance with section 4 of the Conservation Act 1975 and public notification in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977.

The club

13. The Aotea Boardriders Club Incorporated has been in existence since 2003, primarily to promote the sport of surfing and raise a community identity for local surfers. This includes arranging surfing events with other boardrider clubs both on and off the island.

14. The club established a local surf school that has been running for more than nine years. Club members donate their time every Tuesday afternoon of the first and last terms of the school year. Up to 25 local school aged children attend each season.

15. From 2007 the club operated from an old bus on Blackwell’s land at Kaitoke. The bus has recently been removed and the club has decided that it is ready to take on a permanent clubhouse, which will be used as a base for organized activities, storage of boards and equipment and also for social gatherings.

16. After more than 10 years operating as a grass roots organisation, the club became an incorporated society in 2014, with a starting membership base of more than 50 members. The club has maintained its strong membership for the last three years.

Background to the club’s search for a community lease for land

17. In 2015 the club approached the Great Barrier Local Board with a request to fund a clubhouse at the end of Oceanview Road. This site proved unsuitable because of zoning but the club was encouraged to continue to explore options for a clubhouse site.

18. The club then sought permission to lease an area of approximately 100m² for a clubhouse and decks in either Sandhills Reserve or Medlands Playground Reserve.

19. Staff and the club investigated these sites including an informal consultation with the adjacent neighbours and assessment of the positive and negative aspects of locating a clubhouse on the either of the reserves. The 2015 report to the local board in this regard is shown as Attachment B.

20. Neither of these sites were considered further, largely because of opposition to the proposal by neighbours.

21. Staff and members of the club undertook further investigation of potential sites and in late 2016 Sandhills Reserve, located at the end of Sandhills Road was identified as a potential site.

22. On 6 January 2017, with prior advertising and notification, the club made a presentation at the site to provide those interested with the club history and information on the clubrooms proposal. Forty people attended.

23. Subsequently a public opinion survey was circulated to three retail outlets across the island which produced 312 responses. The minutes from the site presentation prepared by the club are recorded in Attachment C.

24. As the club-led consultation was not carried out pursuant to the provisions of the Reserves Act 1977, staff undertook formal iwi engagement and public notification to meet the statutory requirements.

Iwi Consultation

25. On 19 March 2017, the proposal was presented to the central Mana Whenua forum and subsequently, staff contacted all seven iwi groups identified as having an interest in Great Barrier Island about the proposal by way of email.

26. Three responses were received from mana whenua groups as follows:

· Ngāti Rehua Ngatiwai ki Aotea noted that is has a strong interest in Great Barrier Island and as such, staff should make a concerted effort to engage with mana whenua. The local board chair has since discussed the lease proposal directly with the chair of Ngāti Rehua Ngatiwai ki Aotea

· Ngāti Manuhiri referred the matter to Ngāti Rehua Ngatiwai ki Aotea

· Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Tribal Trust had no objection to the proposal.

Public Advertising

27. Public advertising of the proposal pursuant to the provisions of the Conservation Act 1987 and the Reserves Act 1977 commenced on 21 September 2017 with an advertisement in the Barrier Bulletin. The public notice also appeared on Auckland Council’s website from that date until the close of the submissions period Friday 27 October.

28. Individual letters were also mailed to the property owners on Sandhills Road between numbers 7 to 53, and to 27 property owners in the Primrose Hill area.

29. The public advertising prompted 20 responses. Fifteen submitters are opposed to the proposal and five supports the proposal to lease. The support of the proposal is qualified including reference to sharing existing facilities and the location being removed from the main surf breaks on the island. The submissions have previously been circulated to the board and are summarized on the table shown as Attachment D.

30. The club themselves did not make any submission nor did any individual club members.

31. The majority of the concerns from objectors related to increased traffic, dust from the road, parking for boat launchers, Primrose Hill residents and visitors, and the effect on the Department of Conservation campground. There was also comment about sharing and better utilising existing facilities on the island from 12 submitters.

32. Conservation matters ranked highly with a range of concerns that include the preservation of natural areas and vegetation. Concerns about the consumption of liquor were also prevalent.

33. Four of the submitters requested their details be kept confidential. These are listed as informal on the schedule. None of the submitters wished to be heard.

34. Staff sought legal advice about the informal submissions and their status and also about the issues raised in the submissions and their relevance relating to the issue being considered. Some of the issues raised are not relevant to the proposal to lease and should be considered as part of the resource and building consent approval.

35. Relevant issues to the proposal raised by submitters are visual amenity (vegetation), lack of detail about the proposal, noise, public toilets, and water tanks.

The Proposal

36. The club proposes to construct clubrooms on the land. No details of the clubroom have been provided but based on the proposal prepared when considering the other sites suggests a building with a footprint of approximately 65m² with small additional decks. There may also be on-site parking in association with the use.

37. The building will be used primarily for organised activities, storage of boards and equipment and for social gatherings.

38. The building will need to be sited to recognise the water tanks on the site and also the macrocarpa trees. An independent arborist has advised that a building can be located on the site with minimal impact to the trees if the foundations are designed to accommodate the tree root systems. Arboricultural assessment/comment would need to accompany any resource consent application if it was required. New planting may mitigate against the removal of any vegetation.

The agreement to lease

39. The club has requested a lease of the property. As there are further details of the proposal still to be developed the appropriate mechanism in the interim is an agreement to lease.

40. The significant issues to be resolved are;

· building design and specification

· landowner approval

· fundraising for the project

· resource and building consents approval.

41. The agreement to lease gives the club certainty that provided it meets the performance standards set out in the agreement, a community lease would be issued. The deed of agreement to lease may assist the club may provide the club with leverage for its necessary funding applications relating to its project.

42. The club has requested a term of three years for its agreement to lease. This will specify that during the term of the agreement the club must:

· raise sufficient funds to undertake the building of the clubrooms

· design and prepare the documentation for the building and obtain the required approvals

· construct the clubrooms and obtain the code compliance certificates.

43. Once the agreement to lease terms has been satisfied a community lease will commence. As the club will own the proposed building a term of 10 years with a right of renewal for 10 years will be offered in accordance with the provisions of the Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012. Authority to issue the lease is provided by section 54(1)(a) of the Reserves Act 1977.

44. If for any reason the club does not meet the performance requirements of the agreement to lease the agreement will terminate and the execution of the community lease will not be progressed.

45. Alternatively, if the club has not fully satisfied the terms of the agreement but has made sufficient progress to be close to doing so, the board could consider extending the term of the agreement. This would be reported to the board closer to the time of expiry.

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

46. The board has been involved with the club and its proposal since 2015 and has reviewed a range options to site the club building. At a workshop on 17 August 2017 staff advised the board that public notification and iwi consultation would be undertaken as required under statue.

47. Staff summarised the submissions received about the project during the public notification process and presented these to the local board at its workshop of 28 November 2017. Staff sought advice from council’s legal team and subsequently discussed this with the local board at a confidential workshop on 7 February 2018.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

48. There is no Reserve Management Plan for the Sandhills Reserve. As such, public notification and iwi engagement has been undertaken about the proposal. The seven mana whenua groups identified as having an interest in Great Barrier Island were contacted and three responses were received. None of which were opposed to granting the agreement to lease.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

49. Apart from any legal costs should there be a challenge to the local board’s decision there are no financial implications for council with the proposal.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

50. There is a small risk of a challenge from an objector if the local board approves the agreement to lease. However, provided the board has considered and assessed the relevance of the submissions and that other options to the proposal have been considered, this risk is low.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

51. Subject to the local board grant of an agreement to lease, staff will prepare the deed and associated documents for signing and sealing by the club and execution by council.

16. The trust was fortunate to be given a substantial grant from the ASB Community Trust, as well as a four bedroom house from the Auckland Hospital Board. This was barged to the island and placed on the land beside the airstrip at Claris. The Community Health Centre was officially opened in 1990.

17. In addition to the Claris Centre, the trust operates Te Kotuku cottage and the former nurse’s cottage at Port Fitzroy. The Kotuku cottage building was also gifted to the trust in 1995 and is used to serve the northern part of the island with health and social services.

The Trust, its assets and services

18. The trust’s mission is:

· focusing on continuing to provide and maintain excellent facilities from which first class health care can be provided including: health promotion, medical, welfare, educational and social functions

· anticipating and responding to evolving needs in our growing community and paralleling diversification and specialisation within the Health Team with which it is in close co-operation.

19. The trust owns its assets including buildings, vehicles and equipment for the provision of health services on the island. The trust has a contract with Aotea Health Ltd to use the trusts assets to provide the services to the community.

20. Council staff and the chairperson of the trust undertook a site inspection on 28 November 2017. The trust’s assets are in good condition and well maintained. At the same time staff discussed a proposed new development with the trust.

21. Aligned with the health services the trust also provides a community worker who undertakes a wide range of social and support services to the community together with marae capacity building. The role is funded by an annual grant from Auckland Council.

22. The services provided by the trust and its contractors are available to every resident and visitor to the island.

Potential new development

23. The trust is considering increasing the size of the building and lease area at the Claris site to incorporate other health services into their offering. Planning in this regard is at an early stage and may be progressed during the term of the new lease. The addition can be accommodated with the issue of a deed of lease for additional premises which provides for the extended lease area on the same terms and conditions contained in the lease.

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

24. The proposed new lease as workshopped with the local board on 28 November 2017 at which time informal positive feedback was provided.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

25. Where land is held by the Crown through one of it entities, in this case the Department of Conservation, the new lease will include a Treaty of Waitangi clause indicating the land may be required for treaty settlement purposes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

26. There are no financial implications for the board or the council with the proposal. The trust has provided comprehensive financial information with its application for a new lease showing that its finances are well managed. The majority of income is derived from donations, fundraising and the delivery of goods and services. The trust’s accounts hold good reserves to deal with plant and equipment purchases, replacements and any contingencies.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

27. There are no risks associated with the provision of a new lease. A new community lease will enable the trust to continue the provision of an essential service to the Great Barrier Island Community.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

28. If the local board resolve to grant a new community lease staff will prepare the lease documents and provide these to the trust for signing, sealing and arrange execution by council.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

Key achievements for quarter three

10. The Great Barrier Local Board has key achievements to report from the quarter two period, including:

· Viewshafts programme: A new viewshaft was created overlooking Kaitoke swamp from Whangaparapara Road this financial year. The costs were met out of the maintenance budget, however, the remaining $5,000 will be used on enhancement and maintenance of existing viewshafts.

· Life-long Learning Strategy - $30,000 was allocated to Aotea Education Ltd to progress the Lifelong Learning Action Plan, $5,000 of which is earmarked for the Learning Hub. Further funding was approved for Aotea Education Ltd to oversee a series of skills workshops.

Key project updates from the 2017/2018 work programme

11. The following are progress updates against key projects identified in the Aotea Great Barrier Local Board Plan 2014 and/or Local Board Agreement:

· Biodiversity/Biosecurity role - The biodiversity/biosecurity officer has continued to contribute to biosecurity and biodiversity outcomes on Aotea Great Barrier. The role has enabled increased community education and awareness has through attendance at community market days and the establishment of regular community meetings focused on ecological restoration and pest control education. The role has supported a number of new and existing biodiversity programmes on Aotea, including wetland monitoring for ecosystem classification and increased advice to Glenfern and Windy Hill sanctuaries. The request for services response rate has increased this quarter with more sites monitored and the identification of three new total control pest plant sites. The position will continue to be held at 40 hours per week until the end of June 2018. The officer will focus on supporting Windy Hill with the A24 self-resetting trap program, community pest control initiatives, supporting Regional Pest Management Plan information days and continuing to improve request for services response rates for early detection of pest species island-wide

· Dark Sky Sanctuary - The ‘Dark Sky’ collateral will go into production along with a local map brochure in April. An agreement has been reached with local iwi on how to progress with signage, and this will be implemented by 13 May 2018.

· Technology Connectivity report – This contract has been advertised in Great Barrier's local paper. Applications for proposals close on 30 March 2018 and interviews of potential contractors to take place in April 2018.

· Visitor Strategy - The high season visitor survey to the end of March 2018. The draft visitor strategy will be presented to the local board on 22 May 2018.

· Great Barrier Maintenance Contracts - The third quarter has seen unprecedented weather for the Auckland region. Temperatures have reached highs not seen in a century and rainfall in the year up to February 2018 was 36 per cent of what was received for the whole of the previous calendar year. Our contractors have remained on top of mowing in the majority of areas except for the road corridor and tracks where we are seeking improvement. Procurement is closed for our Aotea-wide mowing contract with awarding of the contract in the early part of quarter four.

· Ecology Vision: Community meetings have been held to establish a working group to lead the environmental initiatives highlighted in the Ecology Vision. A community rat trapping programme has been established in Claris within a Biodiversity Focus Area, focused around areas of high community use, visibility and threatened species presence. Monthly ecology conversations meetings will focus on community education and the establishment of community conservation programmes. Projects for next quarter include two workshops, one for riparian restoration and one for bird monitoring. The intention is to complete a community led, island-wide bird survey between 2018 and 2019 as modelled off a bird survey completed by the Great Barrier Environment Trust in 2008-2009.

· Water Quality, including septic tank education: Attendance at markets has seen a lot of people asking questions about septic tank maintenance, particularly people who have purchased homes in the last five year. The community has also raised questions about drinking water at these events. Direct engagement with residents in Okupu and Fitzroy has been challenging due to the large number of vacant holiday homes. While the septic tank survey work was initially targeted at Fitzroy and Okupu, this has been extended to some households in Okiwi. Okiwi has many significant streams (fish fauna) which confluence with Whangapoua Estuary and is nearby Port Fiztroy. Septic tank inspections are scheduled for the first week of April 2018. Contractors will be attending the Easter Market.

Local board advocacy

14. Following a change in the national legislation regarding the way speed limits are determined, Auckland Transport now has more flexibility with regards to determining local speed limits. Therefore, to help determine what should be the appropriate approach from Auckland Transport we would appreciate a resolution from the local board outlining your advocacy position with regards to traffic speeds in the local board area.

15. Update on local board advocacy initiatives:

Advocacy Initiative	Status
Continue to minimise agrichemical use by using alternative methods and advocate to Auckland Transport to follow suit.	Auckland Transport’s maintenance contractors currently use chemical’s during road maintenance. The agreed process is that our contractors will: · Notify residents accordingly with spray notification register held by Auckland Transport · Advertise on Barrier Bulletin in advance to notify the local residents · Have correct signs up warning the pedestrians and road-users of our spraying operations and signs to remain on site during the withholding period for minimum of 24 hours. · Do no spraying around schools unless schools are closed.
Investigate smart energy systems that allow island communities to have their own power systems and pave the way for electric vehicles	Auckland Transport is happy to work with the Local Board to facilitate this initiative.
Improving and linking existing walkways and cycleways and investigating further opportunities to fill gaps in the network, including horse trails	Auckland Transport currently has no programmed works for walkways or cycleways on Great Barrier. However AT is investigating several options for use of the Local Board Transport Capital Fund.
Advocating to Auckland Transport to continue investigating the use of dust suppressant products on populated roads.	Auckland Transport is not currently funded for dust suppressant products and it the Local Board Transport Capital Fund cannot currently be used for this purpose. However AT is undergoing a investigating different products, you can find out more information here: https://at.govt.nz/projects-roadworks/rodney-dust-supression-trial/
Identify key coastal infrastructure needing protection from erosion and develop environmentally sensitive ways to address this	An inspection of the erosion issues affecting Shoal Bay Road, adjacent to Pa Beach in Tryphena, was carried out in May 2017. A report was created that outlines the erosion that has occurred, an assessment of the main cause of the erosion, and a range of options for addressing the erosion. Further investigation is required and Auckland Transport is currently reviewing the report to determine the appropriate response.
Advocate to Auckland Transport to follow Auckland Council’s new procurement approach and directly manage the island’s roading contractor.	The current contract covers Rakino, Waiheke and Great Barrier Island and budget is allocated to this contract not to specific Islands. This contract expires on 30/06/19 and has the potential to roll over for one further term of two years. AT will be taking into account Great Barrier Local Board feedback when reviewing the next contracts.

Progress being made on investigations

16. Update on local board transport enquiries:

Enquiry	Status
Parking enforcement at Claris Carpark	We are working closely with Auckland Council staff to monitor the ongoing use of the car park. Our Parking Enforcement team anticipates they will be doing another round of enforcement in May 2018.
Fish passages	Working closely with Auckland Council Environmental Services team we have developed indicative costings for the work, both one off and an ongoing basis, to maintain fish access. Currently we are working to source funding.

Other Auckland Transport news

Electric buses to hit Auckland’s streets

17. Auckland Transport is driving into the future with its first electric buses. Two buses trial funded by the Government’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) and Auckland Transport (AT) will operate on the City Link service from next week.

18. Compared to diesel buses, the new e-buses will be cleaner, quieter and provide passengers with a better experience. Modern electric buses can have a range of more than 200 km with one charge so the shorter runs on the hilly city loop are a great testing ground. Trials like this will help local and central government learn and plan for large scale deployment of zero emissions buses.

19. Auckland Transport Chief Executive Shane Ellison says the two buses will help AT develop a Zero Emission Bus Roadmap for Auckland.

20. The supplier of the buses is Alexander Dennis/BYD. Tony Moore, General Manager of ADL New Zealand says the buses for the trial are based on the Transport for London e-buses.

21. Auckland Transport was awarded $500,000 from the EECA Low Emission Vehicles Contestable Fund towards one of the buses and charging infrastructure. Auckland Transport’s contribution towards the cost of the buses is $1.21 million.

22. EECA is also funding the installation of 60 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at Auckland Transport parking facilities.
