Great Barrier Local Board

19 June 2018

Approval of the 2018/2019 Great Barrier Local Board local environment work programme

File No.: CP2018/08699

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To approve the 2018/2019 local environment work programme for the Great Barrier Local Board.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. The Great Barrier Local Board has identified the aspiration in their local board plan that ‘our environment is protected and enhanced’.

3. To give effect to this aspiration, staff developed options for projects for the board to consider funding through the 2018/2019 local environment work programme.

4. The board provided feedback to Infrastructure and Environmental Services staff on the locally driven initiative projects it would like to fund at workshops in March and May 2018. These projects include:

· $85,000 for biosecurity projects

· $45,000 for biodiversity/biosecurity officer role

· $50,000 for water quality improvement and septic tank education

· $20,000 for progressing the ecology vision

5. A total of $5,000 has been carried forward from 2017/2018 due to underspend in the Treasure Islands Ambassador budget line. This budget will be used to identify and audit companies at risk of exporting biosecurity threats to Aotea Great Barrier.

6. This report recommends that the board approve this local environment work programme and associated budgets for delivery within the 2018/2019 financial year (see Attachment A).

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendations

That the Great Barrier Local Board:

a) approve the allocation of $200,000 for environmental projects to be delivered by the Infrastructure and Environmental Services directorate in 2018/2019 as summarised in the table below:

Project	Budget
Argentine Ant and Plague Skink surveillance	$24,000
Rabbit control	$26,000
Weed survey	$10,000
Biodiversity Biosecurity advisor	$45,000
Pest pathways	$10,000
Freshwater management programme	$50,000
Ecology vision – Community governance	$20,000
Community pest control	$15,000
Total	$200,000

b) note that $5,000 of locally driven initiatives operational budget has been carried forward from 2017/2018 to fund the identification and inspection of companies at risk of exporting biosecurity threats to Aotea Great Barrier.

Horopaki / Context

7. In late 2017 the Great Barrier Local Board provided strategic direction to staff about the projects it would like to fund in the 2018/2019 financial year, in alignment to its local board plan outcomes. The board noted its strong commitment to the environment and indicated support for:

· biosecurity projects

· continuation of the board funded biodiversity officer role

· low carbon initiatives

· water quality improvement and septic tank education

· progressing the ecology vision

· restoration of the Okupu waterway

8. In response to the direction set by the board, Infrastructure and Environmental Services staff provided a draft local environment and development work programme for the board’s feedback at a workshop on 22 March 2018.

9. The board indicated its support in principle for the proposed projects but requested further workshops in April and May 2018 to discuss the projects in greater detail with staff. As part of these discussions, staff recommended that the board defer local low carbon initiatives until 2019/2020 to allow greater opportunity for alignment with the Regional Low Carbon Auckland Action Plan.

10. Based on these workshop discussions a total of eight projects to be funded with the board’s locally driven initiatives operational budget are proposed. These projects are to be delivered by the Infrastructure and Environmental Services directorate as part of the board’s 2018/2019 local environment work programme. The draft work programme has been amended to reflect local board feedback and is included as Attachment A to this report.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

11. A brief description of each of the proposed projects for delivery as part of the board’s 2018/2019 local environment work programme is provided below.

Argentine Ant and Plague Skink surveillance ($24,000)

12. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is protected and enhanced’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to support ongoing surveillance of settlement areas for Argentine Ant and Plague Skink populations. Surveillance work enables informed decisions on the targeted control and eradication of these pest species from Aotea Great Barrier.

13. This project has been funded by the board since 2016 and is complementary to the regionally funded monitoring and control programme. In the 2017/2018 financial year, the board allocated $24,000 towards this initiative.

14. It is recommended that the board allocates $24,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards this initiative in the 2018/2019 financial year.

Rabbit control ($26,000)

15. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is protected and enhanced’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to support the reduction and elimination of rabbit densities in targeted areas.

16. Funding of rabbit control has been a significant part of the board’s local environment work programme for the last five years. In the 2017/2018 financial year, the board allocated $26,000 towards this initiative.

17. It is recommended that the board allocates $26,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards this initiative in the 2018/2019 financial year. This budget will continue to enable night shoots, rabbit warren fumigation and pindone application.

Weed survey ($10,000)

18. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is protected and enhanced’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to support the survey of the Aotea Great Barrier coast for pest plants, and undertake any removal or control of low incidence weeds.

19. The survey provides information on the presence of low incidence pest plants and enables informed decisions on targeted pest plant control. In the 2017/2018 financial year, the board allocated $10,000 towards this initiative.

20. It is recommended that the board allocates $10,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards this initiative in the 2018/2019 financial year.

Biodiversity Biosecurity advisor ($45,000)

21. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is protected and enhanced’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to fund the part-time biodiversity biosecurity advisor position.

22. This position was established by the board in 2017 to ensure the provision of specialist biodiversity advice on Aotea Great Barrier and to lead biodiversity projects and community education. In the 2017/2018 financial year, the board allocated $45,000 towards this advisor position.

23. It is recommended that the board allocates $45,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards this initiative in the 2018/2019 financial year. This budget will cover the funding for a contracted biodiversity biosecurity advisor on a 0.6 full time equivalent basis.

Pest pathways ($10,000 + $5,000 carry forward)

24. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is protected and enhanced’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to support the management of vector pathways to Aotea Great Barrier.

25. The board has been contributing funding to the Treasure Islands Ambassador programme for several years. This programme benefits the environment by raising awareness of biosecurity risks with ferry passengers and managing vector pathways through proactive inspection of businesses supplying goods to Aotea Great Barrier.

26. In the 2017/2018 financial year, the board allocated $10,000 towards this initiative. From this funding, $5,000 will be carried forward and will fund the identification and inspection of companies at risk of exporting biosecurity threats, such as quarries, to Aotea Great Barrier.

27. At the 22 May 2018 workshop the board indicated it would like to discuss changing the scope of this initiative and requested the title of the project be changed from Treasure Islands Ambassador to Pest pathways. The board also asked that part of the funding be allocated towards engaging an ambassador from Aotea Great Barrier.

28. It is recommended that the board allocates $10,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards this initiative in the 2018/2019 financial year. A work programme will be developed and agreed with the board at a quarter one workshop.

Freshwater management programme ($50,000)

29. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is protected and enhanced’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to support water quality improvement in rivers, streams and harbours in the Aotea Great Barrier area.

30. The proposed programme follows on from the septic tank education and stream assessment projects delivered over the past two financial years. In the 2017/2018 financial year, the board allocated $45,000 towards these initiatives.

31. Funding will support a package of water quality improvement projects in the 2018/2019 financial year. Proposed initiatives include:

· supporting landowners to address any potential pollution issues, either through more targeted education or by providing access to funding for fencing and planting streams.

· continuing septic tank education and supporting local residents to undertake training for septic tank inspections.

· identifying opportunities to improve and protect waterways, including the implementation of a waterways protection fund.

32. It is recommended that the board allocates $50,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget to fund this package of water quality improvement projects in the 2018/2019 financial year. A work programme will be developed and agreed with the board at a quarter one workshop.

Ecology vision – Community governance ($20,000)

33. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is protected and enhanced’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to support the progression of the Aotea Great Barrier Island’s Ecological Vision. This ecology vision was agreed to in 2016 and was developed in collaboration with the island community in response to community concerns around the island’s environmental future.

34. In the 2017/2018 financial year, the board allocated $20,000 toward an ecology conversations project. In December 2017 the board agreed to allocate this funding towards a paid project coordinator to further develop the existing community pest control projects into ecological oases.

35. It is recommended that the board allocates $20,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget to fund the progression of the ecology vision community governance project in the 2018/2019 financial year. This budget will enable the ecology vision project coordinator to:

· assist the board with identifying a community governance structure.

· facilitate the delivery of ecology vision community-based initiatives.

Community pest control ($15,000)

36. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is protected and enhanced’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to support the coordination of a community pest control programme in Okiwi.

37. In the 2017/2018 financial year, the board allocated $15,000 towards the engagement of a pest coordinator to facilitate a community pest control programme in Okiwi. At the 22 May 2018 workshop the board sought advice from staff about the budget needed to continue this programme.

38. It is recommended that the board allocates $15,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards this initiative in the 2018/2019 financial year. This budget will fund the community pest coordinator and their pest control work with Okiwi residents.

Local impacts and local board views

Local impacts

39. The projects proposed for inclusion in the board’s 2018/2019 local environment and development work programme will have positive environmental outcomes across Aotea Great Barrier. Focus areas for the 2018/2019 work programme include targeted improvement of freshwater health, identification and eradication of pest plant and animal species, and advancement of agreed community programmes.

Local board views

40. The proposed projects align with the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is protected and enhanced’ and support the board’s work to achieve these priorities.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

41. This report provides information for environmental projects. It is recognised that environmental management, water quality and land management has integral links with the mauri of the environments and concepts of kaitiakitanga.

42. Some of the identified activities are of interest to Māori and, where appropriate, provisions for mana whenua participation, contribution, and consultation will be incorporated. Table 1 below outlines how the projects contribute towards Māori outcomes.

Table 1. Māori impact assessment

Project	Māori impact assessment
Biosecurity projects	These projects will help enhance cultural values of this land through the preservation of native plant species via pest plant and pest animal control. No specific consultation with Māori has been undertaken on these projects. The Ngāti Rehua Ngātiwai ki Aotea Hapū Management Plan notes conditional support for biosecurity projects on Aotea.
Biodiversity biosecurity officer	The advisor will explore opportunities to work with Ngāti Rehua Ngātiwai ki Aotea landowners on biodiversity and biosecurity projects.
Freshwater management programme	This will help enhance cultural values of this land and water through the preservation of native plant species via pest plant control and riparian planting. No specific consultation with Māori has been undertaken on this programme.
Ecology vision community governance	One meeting was held with Ngāti Rehua Ngātiwai ki Aotea as part of the development of the ecology vision (prior to the signing of the deed of settlement). Any implementation of projects arising from the ecology vision will require input from mana whenua, including discussion of how mana whenua can lead any initiatives.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

43. The proposed 2018/2019 local environment work programme will see the allocation of $200,000 of the board’s locally driven initiatives operational budget. This amount can be accommodated within the board’s total draft budget for 2018/2019. As such, the board’s approval will not have significant financial implications unless projects experience a significant overspend or underspend. Regular quarterly updates on projects will be provided to the board tracking expenditure and identifying any projects at risk of non-delivery, over or underspend.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

44. If the proposed local environment and development work programme is not approved at the board’s June 2018 business meeting, there is a risk that the proposed projects may not be able to be delivered within the 2018/2019 financial year.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

45. Subject to the board’s approval, the delivery of this work programme will commence in the new financial year (1 July 2018). Regular reporting on project delivery will be provided through the Infrastructure and Environmental Services’ contribution to the board’s quarterly performance report.

46. Workshops with the local board and staff will be scheduled in quarter one to develop and agree the work programme for the Pest Pathways project and the Freshwater Management programme.

That the Great Barrier Local Board:

a) approve the 2018/2019 local economic development programme as presented in attachment A to this report.

i. Visitor Strategy Implementation ($25,000)

ii. Dark Sky Sanctuary Leverage Fund ($20,000)

Horopaki / Context

5. This report provides the local board with the proposed local economic development work programme for the coming financial year.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

6. The 2018/19 local economic development programme has been developed having regard to the local board’s priorities for local economic development set out in the Local Board Plan (2017).

7. The proposed LED programme comprises the following activities.

Visitor Strategy Implementation ($25,000)

8. New Zealand Tourism Research Institute (NZTRI) completed the final Great Barrier Island Visitor Strategy in June 2018. A budget allocation provides the ability for the local board to assist the implementation of the visitor strategy. The allocated funding will be used to implement the recommendations identified in the visitor strategy.

9. Auckland Tourism, Events & Economic Development Ltd (ATEED) will work Destination Great Barrier Island (DGBI) and other relevant organisations to scope out the details of the initiatives, and these will then be workshopped with the local board.

Dark Sky Sanctuary Leverage Fund ($20,000)

10. Great Barrier Island was accredited as an International Dark Sky Sanctuary in 2017. The proposed funding allocation supports the tourism operators and local community to leverage a successful Dark Sky Sanctuary accreditation. It is recommended that Destination Great Barrier Island (DGBI) will be the umbrella organisation to receive the funding. The funding will be used for activities such as provision of capability workshops, promotion and meeting the compliance costs of maintaining the Dark Sky Sanctuary status. If the funding is approved, ATEED will work DGBI and the Aotea/Great Barrier International Dark Sky Sanctuary Advisory Group (DAG) to scope out the details of the initiatives, and these will then be workshopped with the local board.

Local impacts and local board views

11. The proposed LED work programme was presented to the local board at the 22 May 2018 workshop, and has been amended to reflect the comments received at that workshop.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

12. There are no direct impacts as a result of this report on Māori. However, in implementing the Great Barrier Island Visitor Strategy consideration will be given to the need to consult with Iwi and consider any impacts on Maori arising from the specific project being undertaken.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

13. The local economic development work programme progress will be reported directly to the local board as part of the quarterly local board work programme report produced by Local Board Services.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

14. The local economic development work programme is dependent on the development of detailed proposals and associated funding agreements. There is a risk that the budget remains unspent as a result of the fact that initiatives supported in the financial year do not require the full amount allocated, or following the agreement of the programme external partners do not in turn proceed with the project.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

15. Following approval by the local board the Local Economic Development team at ATEED will begin to implement the programme as approved by the local board. Where there is a need further scoping of activities will be undertaken and presented back to the local board as required.

Freedom Camping Bylaw Development

File No.: CP2018/09419

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To seek formal feedback from the Great Barrier Local Board on sites to be managed by the draft freedom camping bylaw (the bylaw).

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. In August 2017 the Regulatory Committee resolved to develop a bylaw under the Freedom Camping Act 2011 (the Act).

3. The council can only restrict or prohibit the activity through a bylaw made under the Act if it is satisfied that it is necessary to:

· protect the arear

· protect the health and safety of people who may visit an area, and/or

· protect access to the area.

4. Staff have now carried out site assessments for the Great Barrier Local Board area and have concluded there are:

· twelve sites with adequate evidence to be scheduled as prohibited

· no sites with adequate evidence to be scheduled as restricted

· no suitable sites for non-self-contained camping.

5. Recommendations provided by the Great Barrier Local Board will be incorporated into a report to the Regulatory Committee in August 2018.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation

That the Great Barrier Local Board:

a) recommend to the Regulatory Committee that the 12 sites contained in Attachment A be prohibited through a bylaw under the Freedom Camping Act 2011.

Horopaki / Context

Background

6. In 2017, staff conducted a review of freedom camping in Auckland and the options available to the council to manage this activity. The review provided detailed information on current camper patterns and the associated issues.

7. Staff reported the findings of the review to the Regulatory Committee in August 2017. The Regulatory Committee decided to manage freedom camping by developing a bylaw under the Freedom Camping Act 2011 (the Act) [REG/2017/72].

8. A bylaw under the Act will allow the council to manage harm more effectively by enabling council officers to issue campers with $200 infringement fines.

Freedom Camping Act 2011

9. Under the Act freedom camping is permitted in any local authority area unless it is restricted or prohibited:

· in a bylaw made under the Act, or

· under any other enactment.

10. Other enactments include the Reserves Act 1977 which prohibits freedom camping on reserves unless a reserve management plan allows the activity.

11. The council can only restrict or prohibit the activity through a bylaw made under the Act if it is satisfied that it is necessary to:

· protect the area, and/or

· protect the health and safety of people who may visit an area, and/or

· protect access to the area.

12. The council cannot make a bylaw which effectively prohibits freedom camping everywhere in Auckland.

13. The council must be satisfied that a bylaw is the most appropriate and proportionate way of addressing the perceived problem in relation to the area. The bylaw must not be inconsistent with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

Bylaw development process

14. Staff sought initial local board views through the local board cluster workshops in November 2017. This included discussion on characteristics of areas that make it either suitable or unsuitable for freedom camping. Ways to minimise potential harm were also discussed.

15. Principles were subsequently developed to guide the bylaw development. These are:

· to ensure that freedom campers can “do the right thing”

· to ensure that users and visitors to an area, including freedom campers, can enjoy the area

· to encourage the activity in suitable areas that meet the needs of freedom campers

· to protect areas of regional significance.

16. Community workshops were also held in April 2018 to test these principles. Attendees at the workshops were individuals or groups who had previously expressed an interest in the issue.

17. Staff attended workshops with all local boards in April and May 2018. The purpose of these workshops was to provide an overview of the bylaw development and to seek feedback to help inform the draft bylaw.

Approach to site assessments

18. Staff completed assessments of all council managed land to understand the areas that may need to be protected from freedom camping and scheduled in the bylaw. Assessments included the following considerations:

· the size and condition of parking area

· existing use including any leases over the area

· issues around safety in the area including anti-social behaviour and lighting

· existing facilities including toilets, drinking water, rubbish bins and gates

· the environmental, historical or cultural significance of the area.

19. To decide on recommendations for each site, staff developed a site assessment matrix (Figure 1) with two indicators:

· current or anticipated desirability of an area to campers

· level of protection required under the Act.

Figure 1 – Site Assessment Matrix

20. Medium and high desirability areas that require a higher level of protection are recommended to be prohibited.

21. Areas of medium and high desirability that require a medium level of protection are recommended to be restricted. As these sites may be suitable for a limited number of certified self-contained vehicles, site specific restrictions may include a maximum number of vehicles and a specific location within the parking area to camp.

22. High desirability areas that require a lower level of protection are recommended to have more permissive rules. These rules could allow for a limited number of non-self-contained vehicles to camp at these locations.

Areas held under the Reserves Act 1977

23. Areas held under the Reserves Act were included in the assessment. This enabled the local board to provide feedback on whether a prohibition through the bylaw was required.

24. The default position on land held under the Reserves Act is that freedom camping is not allowed. The Reserves Act does not have infringement powers available.

25. For reserves that meet the Freedom Camping Act evidential requirements to be prohibited, these areas can also be scheduled in the bylaw. This provides enforcement staff additional infringement powers.

Potential regional default rules

26. Staff also presented the following potential regional default rules at each local board workshop:

· camping is permitted only in certified self-contained vehicles

· camping is permitted for no more than two nights in any four week consecutive period

· a time by which a camper must leave the area in the morning.

27. These rules would be applied to all areas that are not otherwise scheduled in the bylaw to ensure health and safety and access to the area are protected.

Great Barrier Local Board area site assessments

28. The outcome of the initial site assessments for the Great Barrier Local Board area is included in Attachment A.

29. The Great Barrier Local Board area initial site assessments identified:

· nine sites where there was adequate evidence to suggest a prohibition was required to protect the area

· no areas where there was adequate evidence to suggest site specific restrictions are required to protect the area

· three areas where there was adequate evidence to suggest more permissive restrictions should be in place to allow non-self-contained camping.

30. Attachment A also provides a summary of the additional evidence received from the local board and subsequent staff recommendations.

31. The final recommendation is that all 12 identified sites should be prohibited to protect the area and the health and safety of people who visit the area.

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

32. The Great Barrier Local Board also provided general feedback on the development of the bylaw at the workshop on 24 April 2018. This feedback included:

· That maps would be useful in communicating where the prohibitions and restrictions are

· That the board were divided on whether freedom camping should occur on the island

· Concern that the infrastructure on the island is not adequate to accommodate freedom campers and this poses a risk to health and safety and the environment.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

33. A memo was provided to mana whenua in November 2017 to update them on the development of the bylaw. Staff also attended the Parks and Recreation Mana Whenua Engagement Regional Hui in March 2018 to discuss the bylaw development.

34. Staff will continue to work with mana whenua through this forum to identify areas that need to be protected through the bylaw.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

35. There are no financial implications for the local board from the decision being sought.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

36. There is a risk that the bylaw could be applied to a person experiencing homelessness and living in a vehicle.

37. The graduated enforcement model used by Licensing and Regulatory Compliance enables consideration of individual circumstances. Currently when a complaint is made about someone who is experiencing homelessness, staff work with social service agencies to ensure they are connected with the right support.

38. The Affordable Housing Policy Unit are currently developing a cross sectoral strategy on homelessness.

39. Staff will continue to work with staff across the council, including Legal Services, to understand options available to mitigate this risk.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

40. Staff intend to report to the Regulatory Committee in August 2018 with the draft bylaw and statement of proposal. If adopted at this time, the draft bylaw will go out for full public consultation in September.

41. If the Great Barrier Local Board would like to provide further feedback once the draft bylaw is adopted, this will be facilitated through the consultation and hearings process in September.

42. Based on current timelines, staff intend to have the new bylaw adopted in December 2018.

a. a general summary of operational projects and activities of interest to the board

b. an update on the board’s transport capital fund

c. responses from Auckland Transport to resolutions by the board

d. an update on local board advocacy

e. an update on local board transport enquiries.

Te tūtohunga / Recommendation

That the Great Barrier Local Board:

a) note and receive the Auckland Transport June 2018 update report.

Horopaki / Context

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

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

Criteria for projects are determined by the governing body and include that the project:

· be safe

· not impede network efficiency

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

Report on Auckland Transport projects and activities

6. Please see below for information on Auckland Transport’s activities:

· Whangaparapara Wharf upgrade – Additional piles installed to provide upgrade of whole fender system and added protection to fuel lines - 18 new piles. Works delay due to weather, completion expected by 15 June 2018.

The position of the relocated tree has also been marked on site. The contractor is due to commence shortly with appropriate traffic management in place during the duration of this project.

· Cowshed Bridge - Engineers looking at the methodology for repair or replacement of the bridge without closing the road. It was previously communicated with the board that a Baileys bridge might be used but engineers have decided that this is not necessary. It’s an evolving situation and Auckland Transport will be sending the local board regular updates.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

Local Board Transport Capital Fund

7. The Great Barrier Local Board has a total of $328,104 in their Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) for the current political term. From this they have committed $68,000 for a dust seal on Sandhills Road. This leaves $260,104 unallocated.

8. Auckland Transport has provided a rough order of cost to complete the remaining sections of footpath on Hector Sanderson from Claris Café to the Cross Roads:

· Section A from Claris Café to Land Fill Road – creates a new unsealed path adjacent to the seal edge. Includes all necessary earthworks, drainage work and contingency. The rough order of cost is $10,000.

· Section B from Land Fill Road to wall outside Police Station – creates a new unsealed path adjacent to the seal edge. Includes all necessary earthworks, drainage work and contingency. Rough order of cost is $15,000.

· Section K from Grays Place to Cross Roads – creates new unsealed path adjacent to the seal edge on the Northside. Includes all necessary earthworks, drainage and contingency. Rough order of cost is $20,000.

9. These costs exclude street lighting, redesign, geotechnical investigation and additional consents that may be required.

10. Auckland Transport has ongoing investigations into rough orders of costs for the following projects:

· A walkway from the Cross Roads along Whangaparapara Road to the hot springs.

· For solutions on the road corridor to address Claris shopping centre carparking safety and congestion issues

· Port FitzRoy traffic calmers

· Shoal Bay footpath (from Mulberry Grove School to Shoal Bay wharf).

11. Auckland Transport is also investigating costs for potential road sealing projects that could be funded by the board, these include:

· Kaiaraara Bay Road (from FitzRoy wharf to Akapoua bridge/ford)

· Puriri Bay Road

· Whangaparapara Road (hot springs to Harpoon)

Local board advocacy

12. 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.

13. 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 chemicals 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. Our Sustainability Team are looking at potential ways Auckland Transport could support the board with this point.
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, Auckland Transport 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 the Local Board Transport Capital Fund cannot currently be used for this purpose. However, Auckland Transport is 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. Auckland Transport will be taking into account Great Barrier Local Board feedback when reviewing the next contracts.

Progress being made on investigations

14. 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 has sent out target letters to overstayers. If this doesn’t have the desired result enforcement will be used.
Fish passages	Working closely with Auckland Council’s Environmental Services team, we have developed indicative costings for the work, both once- off and on an ongoing basis, to maintain fish access. Currently we are working to source funding.
Auckland Transport Wharf Health and Safety Review	Auckland Transport is currently reviewing its wharf facilities and operations at Tryphena and Whangaparapara. The team expect to be able to have a Health and Safety walkaround with the local board members and Sealink to close out the Health and Safety report at the end of June.
