Auckland Transport Update to the Manurewa Local Board – June 2018

File No.: CP2018/10162

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To provide an update to the Manurewa Local Board on transport-related matters in its area, including Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) projects.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. The Manurewa Local Board currently has four active LBTCF proposals underway:

a) further consultation has been completed on the final Hillcrest Grove site of the Hill Road pedestrian link project, with one response received

b) construction is near complete on the Wattle Farm pedestrian refuge and footpaths in the immediate area, except for the installation of tactile pavers within the central pedestrian refuge, which will be installed in the week beginning 11 June

c) at Te Mahia station, Auckland Transport’s civil platform works are expected to be completed during a further Block of Line in July, and installation of the two shelters is planned to be completed by October. In relation to the Manurewa Local Board’s package of works, a confidential report was considered and approved on 7 June. Auckland Transport is also liaising with Te Akitai Waiohua to develop the mana whenua signage for the station

d) work to upgrade and refurbish the Manurewa town centre clock is scheduled to commence on 18 June.

3. Quotes have been sought for a new LBTCF proposal, for the production and installation of poppy logo road name blades for roads identified for the ‘Places of Remembrance’ Project.

4. There remains $493,324 in the LBTCF, from the 2019/2020 financial year. There is no requirement to allocate this amount prior to the next election. Note that increased LBTCF funding has recently been approved by Auckland Council for the 2018/2019 and subsequent financial years, which will become available on 1 July 2018.

5. At the Manurewa bus/train station, a temporary drivers’ portacom has been installed and the Exeloos unit has been installed, with handover of the latter from contractors expected around mid-June. For the planned lighting and CCTV improvements at the Station Road park-and-ride, it is expected that installation work can begin later this month.

6. Auckland Transport has consulted the Manurewa Local Board on numerous proposed safety improvements along Russell Road and Weymouth Road, which have arisen following a Crash Reduction Study. The proposed improvements were workshopped with the board on 7 June and were generally supported by the board with some additional suggestions. The board’s comments and feedback have been referred back to Auckland Transport for consideration.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) Receive the report entitled ‘Auckland Transport Update to the Manurewa Local Board – June 2018’.

Horopaki / Context

7. This report addresses transport-related matters in the local board area and includes information on the status of the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) and LBTCF projects.

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

9. Any LBTCF projects selected must be safe, must not impede network efficiency, and must be located in the road corridor or on land controlled by Auckland Transport (though projects running through parks can be considered if there is a transport outcome).

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

NEW

Poppy ‘Places of Remembrance’ project

A project to identify street names in Manurewa related to NZ’s overseas military history

· See section immediately below.

· Production and installation estimates have been sought.

Poppy ‘Places of Remembrance’ Project

13. The Manurewa Local Board has chosen to support the ‘Places of Remembrance’ Project in its area, ahead of 100^th year anniversary celebrations of Armistice Day on 11 November this year.

14. The project is managed by the New Zealand Poppy Places Trust and is about identifying and recording street names and places that are directly related to people or events from New Zealand’s overseas military history. Once the road names concerned have been researched and confirmed, that identification is through the inclusion of a poppy logo on the road name signs (blades).

15. The Manurewa Local Board has confirmed the list of roads to be identified as part of the Project are Beatty Avenue, Jellicoe Road, Jutland Road, Sturdee Road, Churchill Avenue, Maich Road and Pedestal Lane walkway. The board has requested a quote for the replacement of the existing road name blades with poppy logo blades.

16. Auckland Transport has requested two-part quotes for both the production of the poppy logo blades, and for the installation of the replacement blades after production. The first part of the quotes will be for replacing the road name blades at the end of each road, which the board has indicated support for. The second part of the quotes will be for the additional replacement of road name blades at intermediate intersections along each route, which the board may also choose to replace.

Local projects and activities

Manurewa bus/train station improvements

17. Construction of the bus layovers was completed in February.

18. A temporary drivers’ portacom has been installed next to the pedestrian overbridge at the station and will remain in place until a custom-designed portacom (with double-security doors) can be fabricated. This is expected to take 6-8 weeks.

19. The Exeloos unit at the bus station has been installed and the wastewater consent and water main connections have been approved. Handover from the contractors is expected around mid-June.

20. For the planned lighting and CCTV improvements at the Station Road overflow park-and-ride (to mitigate the parking loss at the main park-and-ride), it is expected that installation work can begin later this month.

Increased road safety investment planned

21. Auckland Transport is proposing to invest $700 million in road safety initiatives to reduce death and serious injury on Auckland’s roads.

22. In the past three years (2014-2017), road deaths and serious injuries in Auckland have increased at more than five times the rate of travel and more than three times the rate of the rest of New Zealand. On average, there is at least one death or serious injury on Auckland’s roads every day.

23. The funding was signalled in the draft Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP), which was open for public consultation in May. The final plan must be adopted before the end of June.

24. Auckland Transport is also proposing an ambitious safety infrastructure acceleration programme estimated to reduce deaths and serious injuries by up to 150 (15-20%) over three years. This includes reducing speed limits and installing traffic calming treatments on at least 10% of the roading network, better and safer pedestrian infrastructure (e.g. crossings), safety cameras, and high friction road surfacing which reduces the risk of skidding. In addition, Auckland Transport will increase the number of high-risk intersections that will receive safety improvements.

Other transport news

State Highway 1 (SH1) Southern Corridor Improvements update

25. Work planned for May-June between Orams Road and Takanini includes guardrail installation by Alfriston Bridge, completion of maintenance bays, continued southbound lane and shoulder widening north of Hill Road, and landscaping at Rata Vine Park to be completed before re-opening to the public.

26. At the Takanini interchange, work continues to construct the new northbound on-ramp, which will require further temporary lane changes scheduled to occur overnight on 12/13 June. For drivers travelling northbound through the interchange on SH1, the two lanes will be realigned and separated by a median barrier. The separation will begin before the northbound off-ramp and will join again just north of the on-ramp, so motorists in the area will be unable to switch lanes.

27. With the newly constructed southbound motorway off-ramp by Spartan Road now in service, the original off-ramp was demolished at Queen’s Birthday weekend. The retaining wall near the northbound loop on-ramp is being completed.

28. At Pahurehure inlet, the demolition of the existing northbound bridge will begin, and work will continue on the stormwater chambers. Foundations for the new Pescara Point pedestrian bridge continue and concrete pours on the shared pedestrian cycle path over the inlet will occur.

State Highway 16 and 20 changes

29. The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) has announced that variable speed limits around the Waterview Tunnel will be introduced from July 2018. The proposed changes on State Highway (SH) 20 and SH 16 will allow maximum speeds of 100 km/h in certain driving conditions.

30. Variable speed limits mean that the maximum legal speed limit can change between 30 km/h and 100 km/h and be adjusted for the road and driving conditions. Speed limits are likely to be reduced during peak periods when there are typically high traffic volumes and in the event of incidents, crashes, maintenance work or extreme weather conditions.

31. The changes to increase the variable speed limit from 30–80 km/h to 30-100 km/h will be introduced in two phases.

32. For more information, please visit www.nzta.govt.nz/waterview-speed-limits

33. In other NZTA news, the Landing Drive roundabout on SH 20A to Auckland Airport was transformed into an intersection controlled by traffic lights on the night of 18 May. The intersection is now an 8-lane intersection for north and southbound traffic, with traffic lights controlling all movements through the intersection.

34. Changes to the intersection were necessary because the heavy traffic flows to and from the airport meant the roundabout did not function efficiently.

35. Work will continue to build traffic islands, median strips and lay the final road surface around the intersection. This work is planned to be finished by August 2018.

New Manukau bus station wins award

36. The new Manukau bus station, opened in April by the Mayor of Auckland, the Minister of Transport and the Otara-Papatoetoe Local Board, has won a prestigious architecture award.

37. The new station was the sole winner in the Public Architecture category at the Auckland Architecture Awards held on 9 May, which are part of a programme run by the New Zealand Institute of Architects to recognise the contribution of architects to towns and communities. The project was designed by Beca Architects and Cox Davies.

38. Auckland Transport’s continued partnership with mana whenua was an important component in the design and construction of the station. In addition to the use of natural timber and prominent Iwi creative expressions, Te Aranga Māori Principles guided the design of the vital stormwater management system and the passive temperate controls methods.

Architecture award winner

Pukekohe station upgrade

39. Public transport for the people of Franklin took a major step forward with the opening of the upgraded Pukekohe station on 6 June by Auckland Mayor Phil Goff alongside the Minister of Transport, Phil Twyford.

40. The $16.2 million upgrade is part of Auckland Council and Auckland Transport’s continued investment in developing a well-connected, convenient and integrated public transport network for Auckland.

41. The upgraded station interchange links bus stops with the existing rail platform and has improved connections to the local roads and footpaths, meaning the station will be at the heart of the new public transport network for the area. There is also a new 87-vehicle park and ride carpark.

42. Growth in the Pukekohe area and plans to electrify the line to Papakura within the coming decade meant the upgrade was critical future proofing as more people choose to use public transport.

· Cluster two: Russell Road between Healy Road and 107 Russell Road – proposed red textured surfacing, planted side islands, pedestrian refuge and NSAATs.

· Cluster three: Russell Road between Swallow Drive and 55 Russell Road – proposed planted side islands, red textured surfacing, high friction surfacing, relocated bus stop and NSAATs.

· Cluster four: Russell Road between 55 and 25 Russell Road – proposed new signalised pedestrian crossing, high friction surfacing, planted side islands, red textured surfacing, pedestrian refuge, bus stop improvements, driver feedback sign, street light, traffic island and NSAATs.

· Cluster five: Russell Road between Lupton Road (including the intersection) and Weymouth Road – proposed pedestrian refuge, red textured surfacing, pedestrian crossing, street light and high friction surfacing.

Weymouth Road

· Cluster one: Weymouth Road near Damian Way – proposed pedestrian refuge, red textured surfacing, right turn bay, flush median, street light and NSAATs.

· Cluster two: Weymouth Road between 257 and 225 Weymouth Road – proposed new school zone red textured surfacing and side islands.

Freedom Camping Bylaw Development

File No.: CP2018/09426

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To seek formal feedback from the Manurewa 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 decided 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 area, and/or

· 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 Manurewa Local Board area and have concluded there are:

· six sites with adequate evidence to be scheduled as prohibited

· one site with adequate evidence to be scheduled as restricted

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

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

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

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

b) recommend to the Regulatory Committee that the following restrictions be applied to the one site contained in Attachment B through a bylaw under the Freedom Camping Act 2011:

i) certified self-contained vehicles only

ii) limited numbers of vehicles

iii) only in identified parking spaces

c) confirm their general views on the management of freedom camping expressed through the workshop on 10 May 2018 as follows:

i) locations of dump stations need to be communicated and easy to find

d) safety of campers needs to be considered in areas with a history of crime and disorder.

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 Assesment 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.

28. The outcome of the initial site assessments for the Manurewa Local Board area are included in Attachments A and B. Attachment B also notes where the Reserves Act applies.

29. Attachment C includes sites initially recommended to be scheduled in the bylaw which have been reassessed following the workshop with the local board. These sites are now recommended to be covered by the default rules. Freedom camping will not be permitted in areas held under the Reserves Act, although enforcement powers will be limited to those under the Reserves Act.

30. The Manurewa Local Board area initial site assessments identified:

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

· eight sites (including reserves held under the Reserves Act) where there was adequate evidence to suggest site specific restrictions are required to protect the area

· no areas where there was adequate evidence to suggest more permissive restrictions should be in place to allow non-self-contained camping.

31. Attachments A and B also provide a summary of the additional evidence received from the local board and subsequent staff recommendations.

32. A summary of the recommendations for the Manurewa Local Board area:

· six sites have adequate evidence to be scheduled as prohibited

· one sites have adequate evidence to be scheduled as restricted (limited access for certified self-contained only).

o This area is held under the Reserves Act. Staff are investigating if there are legal avenues available to provide for freedom camping with restrictions on this site. If no legal avenues are available, this site will not be scheduled in the bylaw. As the default position under the Reserves Act will apply, there is no freedom camping allowed on this site. Enforcement powers will be limited to those under the Reserves Act (no infringement capability).

Local impacts and local board views

33. The Manurewa Local Board also provided general feedback on the development of the bylaw at the workshop on 10 May 2018. This feedback included:

· that locations of dump stations need to be communicated and easy to find

· the safety of campers needs to be considered in areas with a history of crime and disorder.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

34. 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.

35. 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

36. There are no financial implications for the Local Board from the decision being sought.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

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

38. 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.

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

40. 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

41. 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.

42. If the Manurewa 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.

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

Panuku Development Auckland Local Board Six-Monthly Update 1 November 2017 - 30 April 2018

File No.: CP2018/08140

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To update the Manurewa Local Board on Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) activities within the local board area for the six months from 1 November 2017 to 30 April 2018.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. Panuku was established in September 2015 by the merger of two council-controlled organisations, Waterfront Auckland and Auckland Council Property Limited.

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 the 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 Manurewa Local Board:

a) receive the Panuku Development Auckland Local Board update for 1 November 2017 to 30 April 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 Ōtara-Papatoetoe and Manurewa Local Board areas:

8. Transform Manukau – In December 2015, the Auckland Development Committee (now Planning Committee) approved Manukau Metropolitan Centre as one of two new Panuku-led ‘transform’ locations. Manukau is also an Auckland Council Spatial Priority Area, as well as being the base for The Southern Initiative (TSI).

9. In April 2016 the Auckland Development Committee approved a Transform Manukau High Level Project Plan (HLPP) produced by Panuku. This approval gave Panuku the mandate to leverage the council’s significant landholdings and facilities within a 600ha project area to bring about urban regeneration.

10. In March 2017, a Framework Plan, that set out a range of opportunities for project actions was approved by the Panuku Board.

11. In May 2017, a Terms of Reference was agreed for how Panuku and the Transform location’s local boards, Manurewa and Ōtara-Papatoetoe, work together.

12. Earthworks have commenced at 20 Barrowcliffe Place. This residential development by New Zealand Housing Foundation and Te Ākitai Waiohua will provide over 250 homes, the majority of which will be ‘affordable’. Details of the development will be provided to the local board as they are finalised. Panuku is working with the developers on complementary landscaping works and is liaising with New Zealand Transport Association (NZTA) on enhancing the Barrowcliffe bridge and opening it to vehicular traffic into the new subdivision.

13. Puhinui Regeneration Strategy – The merits of work to regenerate the Puhinui stream corridor were identified in the HLPP and Framework Plan. Initial work commenced late 2017 to scope a holistic design approach at a catchment (‘source to harbour’) scale. This approach includes close partnership and collaboration with the local board, mana whenua, wider council family and local community in the creation of a regeneration strategy.

14. Puhinui Stage 1: (District Health Board) DHB – A proposal has been developed with the Counties Manukau DHB to allow Panuku to construct a cycleway and walkway on a section of the stream corridor that is currently inaccessible to the public. This will provide a connecting link along the Puhinui stream from the Botanic Gardens to central Manukau.

15. Throughout the period Panuku has worked with the council’s Parks team on refreshing the master plan for Hayman Park and identifying capital works projects to improve the park environment.

16. Panuku is continuing to work with the Crown, through the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), to identify how the council and Crown can collaborate effectively to assist in developing a more vibrant and connected central Manukau area with increased homes and jobs as well as the necessary supporting infrastructure.

17. The contract to upgrade Putney Way has been let and work has started. The street upgrade works are being managed by Auckland Transport (AT). Completion is anticipated for end of July.

18. Place making activities have been carried out regularly in the Manukau town centre.

Portfolio management

19. Panuku manages ‘non-service’ properties owned by the council and 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 30 April 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 December 2017 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 Manurewa Local Board Area

23. Panuku currently manages 18 commercial and 38 residential interests within the Manurewa Local Board area.

Business interests

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

25. There are currently no managed business interests in the Manurewa Local Board area.

Portfolio strategy

Optimisation

26. The 2015-2025 Long-term Plan reflects a desire of the 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, Auckland Council Property Limited (ACPL) developed a new method of dealing with service property, called optimisation.

27. Asset optimisation deals with “service property”. It is self-funding, it maximises efficiencies from service assets, and maintains levels of service whilst 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. Panuku continues to advance this programme of work. This includes the development of a cross-council project to coordinate and execute asset sales and optimisation.

Portfolio review and rationalisation

Overview

28. Panuku is required to undertake ongoing rationalisation of the council’s non-service assets. This includes identifying properties from within the 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 the council with an efficient use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities and projects.

Performance

29. Panuku works closely with Auckland Council and Auckland Transport to identify potential surplus properties to help achieve disposal targets.

30. Target for July 2017 to June 2018:

Unit

Target

Achieved

Portfolio review

$60 million disposal recommendations

$88 million as at 30 April 2018

(Includes $62 million from the Papatoetoe, Avondale and Panmure priority locations)

Process

31. Once identified as a potential sale candidate, a property is taken through a multi-stage ‘rationalisation’ process. The agreed process includes engagement with the 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

32. There are no properties currently under review in the Manurewa Local Board area.

Acquisitions and Disposals

33. 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

34. 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 the council.

35. Panuku purchased ten properties for open space across Auckland in this financial year (ending 30 June 2018) at a cost of $21.6 million, and bought six properties for storm water use at a value of $4.2 million.

36. No properties were purchased in the Manurewa Local Board area during the reporting period.

Disposals

37. The disposals team sold nine properties for a total of $11 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.

38. No properties were sold in the Manurewa Local Board area.

Housing for Older People

39. The council owns 1412 units located in 62 villages across Auckland, which provide rental housing to low income older people in Auckland.

40. 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.

41. 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.

42. 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.

43. Auckland Council has delegated Panuku to lead a new multi-year residential development programme.

44. The first new development project is a 40-unit apartment building on the former Wilsher Village site on 33 Henderson Valley Road, Henderson. Once completed in mid-2019, this development will increase the council’s portfolio to 1452 units.

45. The following HfOP villages are located within the Manurewa Local Board area:

Village	Address	Number of units
Alfriston Court	33 Alfriston Road, Manurewa	17
Gallaher Court	29 Alfriston Road, Manurewa	16
Inverell Court	18 Inverell Avenue, Wiri	25
Leabank Court	12 Kirton Crescent, Manurewa	64
Percival Court	15 Percival Street, Manurewa	4

Regional Activities

Highlights

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

· 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

· Unlock locations – Panuku ‘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

· 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

47. 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.

48. 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 May 2018.

Unlock locations

49. 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.

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

51. 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.

52. 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.

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

54. 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.

55. 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.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

58. Tāmaki Makaurau has the highest Māori population in the world with one in four Māori in Aotearoa living here.

59. Māori make up 12 per cent of the region’s total population who mainly live in Manurewa, Henderson-Massey, Papakura, Ōtara-Papatoetoe, Māngere-Ōtahuhu and Franklin. Māori have a youthful demographic with 50 per cent of Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau under the age of 25 years. Five per cent of the Māori population in the region are currently 65 years and over.

60. There are 19 mana whenua in the region, with 12 having indicated an interest in Panuku led activities within the Manurewa Local Board area.

61. Māori make up 25 percent of the Manurewa Local Board population, and there are two marae located within the local board area.

62. Panuku works collaboratively with mana whenua on a range projects including potential property disposals, development sites in the area and commercial opportunities. Engagement can be on specific individual properties and projects at an operational level with kaitiaki representatives, or with the Panuku Mana Whenua Governance Forum who have a broader mandate.

63. Panuku will continue to partner with Māori on opportunities which enhance Māori social and economic wellbeing.

File No.: CP2018/08701

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

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

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. The Manurewa Local Board has identified the aspiration in their local board plan that ‘our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community’.

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:

· $50,000 waste minimisation

· $106,000 water quality improvement and enhancement of biodiversity values

5. 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).

Horopaki / Context

6. In late 2017 the Manurewa 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:

· waste minimisation

· water quality improvement

· enhancement of biodiversity values.

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

8. The board indicated its support in principle for the proposed projects but requested staff include a new project to reduce litter in Manurewa.

9. Based on these workshop discussions nine projects are proposed to be funded with the board’s locally driven initiatives operational budget. These projects will 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

10. 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.

Community waste minimisation ($45,000)

11. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community’, the board has indicated that it would like to provide funding towards community-based initiatives to reduce waste and target illegal dumping.

12. Improving waste reduction through recovery, re-use, and recycling is a key objective of the local board plan. In the 2017/2018 financial year, the board allocated $25,000 towards waste minimisation and refuse recovery initiatives.

13. It is recommended that the board allocates $45,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards these initiatives in the 2018/2019 financial year. This budget will support community groups to develop and implement waste minimisation initiatives. Further details of these initiatives will be provided to the board as part of regular reporting.

Manukau Harbour Forum ($8,000)

14. To achieve the local board plan objective ‘our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to fund the Manukau Harbour Forum in the 2018/2019 financial year. The board is one of nine local boards who make up the Manukau Harbour Forum (Franklin, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, Manurewa, Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, Ōtara-Papatoetoe, Papakura, Puketāpapa, Waitākere Ranges, and Whau Local Boards).

15. The board provided $8,000 towards the Manukau Harbour Forum’s work programme in the 2017/2018 financial year. Staff proposed that the board contribute $10,000 towards the Manukau Harbour Forum in the 2018/2019 financial year. During workshop discussions the board indicated it would keep funding at the same level as the previous financial year. It is recommended that the board allocates $8,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards the Manukau Harbour Forum in the 2018/2019 financial year.

16. This funding, along with contributions from the eight other member boards, will be used to deliver a governance review, communications plan, symposium, and an education programme targeting youth leaders and businesses around the harbour.

17. The proposed governance review acknowledges that the forum is in its third term and it is now appropriate to consider whether it has achieved its objective. It also reflects that the forum is a strategic and governance entity, yet it is primarily delivering an operational work programme. The proposed operational work programme encourages increased awareness and knowledge about the Manukau Harbour, and improving water quality.

Weymouth Beach (Roys Road) water quality testing ($3,000)

18. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to fund water quality testing at the Roys Road end of Weymouth Beach.

19. In November 2017, the local board requested staff undertake water quality testing at the Roys Road end of Weymouth Beach for one summer, to determine levels of faecal contamination. To determine a provisional microbiological assessment category grade for this beach, a further two years of water quality testing would be required.

20. At a May 2018 workshop, the board indicated its support for carrying out another two years of water quality testing to gather sufficient data to determine a provisional microbiological assessment category grade for this beach.

21. It is recommended that the board allocates $3,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget to fund this water quality testing in the 2018/2019 financial year.

Manurewa Marae restoration ($5,000)

22. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to support the revitalisation of the Puhinui Stream and the Manukau Harbour.

23. Manurewa Marae, Papatūānuku Kōkiri Marae and Makaurau Marae have collaborated to develop initiatives which will restore the tohu (Māori environmental indicators) of each marae, with the goal of improving the mauri of local streams and the Manukau Harbour. The Department of Conservation is contributing funding to this project, and a similar initiative has been proposed to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board for Papatūānuku Kōkiri Marae and Makaurau Marae.

24. It is recommended that the board allocates $5,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget to fund the Manurewa Marae restoration project in the 2018/2019 financial year. This budget will contribute towards native plantings at Manurewa Marae, as well as fund the scoping of a rain garden.

Planting at Keith Park ($5,000)

25. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community’, the board has indicated that it would like to support initiatives that care for the harbour, waterways, parks and community spaces.

26. An investigation was undertaken in the summer of 2016/2017 to identify the sources of the high levels of faecal contamination at Weymouth Beach and the stormwater drain that discharges onto the beach. The findings of the investigation were presented to the board and recommendations for reducing avian faecal contamination were recommended, including strategic planting to help filter contaminants from birds in the reserve area.

27. Staff initially proposed to undertake strategic planting of native sedges and shrubs along the coastline of the park with the goal of excluding waterfowl from the foreshore. At a May workshop the board agreed to reallocate unspent budget from the 2017/2018 financial year towards a planting event to be held on 17 June 2018. It was proposed that the board allocate $5,000 of funding in the 2018/2019 financial year to support the ongoing maintenance of these plantings and to fund planting of any additional sites.

28. In early June 2018 the board received feedback from the community about the planned 17 June 2018 plantings and asked that staff delay the planting event. The board have requested that staff collaborate with Parks, Sports and Recreation to identify opportunities for plantings to improve water quality at Weymouth Beach.

29. It is recommended that the board allocates $5,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget to fund planting at Keith Park in the 2018/2019 financial year.

Puhinui Stream Restoration ($30,000)

30. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to support restoration work on the lower Puhinui Stream.

31. Restoration and revitalisation of the Puhinui Stream is a key objective of the local board plan. In the 2017/2018 financial year, the board allocated $40,000 towards this initiative.

32. It is recommended that the board allocates $30,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards this initiative in the 2018/2019 financial year. This budget will cover:

· pre-planting clearing

· weed control of selected species

· additional riparian plantings

· plant maintenance of existing and new plantings

· installation of bait stations for rat and mice control around the inanga spawning zone.

Tōtara Park ecological restoration ($40,000)

33. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community’, the board has indicated that it would like to support the revegetation of the upper Puhinui Stream headwaters within Tōtara Park.

34. This project aims to improve water quality, reduce erosion and enhance biodiversity of the upper Puhinui. This will be achieved through fencing and planting initiatives around the Puhinui Stream headwaters.

35. It is recommended that the board allocates $40,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards this ecological restoration initiative in the 2018/2019 financial year.

Papakura Stream Restoration ($15,000)

36. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community’, the board has indicated that it would like to support biodiversity and water quality improvements in the Papakura Stream. Supporting water quality improvements in the Papakura Stream is also a key initiative in the local board plan.

37. Funding will support water quality and biodiversity improvement initiatives in the 2018/2019 financial year. Proposed initiatives include:

· planting in a local reserve along the Papakura Stream to support biodiversity improvements

· an inanga spawning survey to determine planting sites

· plantings at sites along the Papakura Stream in the Manurewa area.

38. It is recommended that the board allocates $15,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards these restoration initiatives in the 2018/2019 financial year.

Litter prevention plan ($5,000)

39. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community’, the board has indicated that it would like to fund initiatives that reduce littering behaviour in Manurewa. The board has asked that staff work in collaboration with the Keep Auckland Beautiful Trust to design and implement a litter reduction plan.

40. This plan will look at practical options to address littering at local trouble spots. The Franklin and Papakura local boards have also indicated support for a litter reduction plan. Staff will identify opportunities for collaboration across these three local board areas.

41. It is recommended that the board allocates $5,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards this project in the 2018/2019 financial year. A work programme will be developed and agreed with the board at a quarter one workshop

Young Enterprise Scheme ($2,000)

7. Auckland Business Chamber, on behalf of the Young Enterprise Trust, delivers the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) in Auckland. YES is a practical, year-long programme for year 12 and 13 students. Through the programme, students develop creative ideas into actual businesses, complete with real products and services and experience real profit and loss.

8. Fostering youth entrepreneurship is a key requirement for developing an innovative economy and creating employment pathways for our young people. Through the programme, students develop creative ideas into actual businesses, complete with real products and services and real profit and loss. Students learn key work skills and business knowledge including: business fundamentals, planning, interpersonal relations, financial, decision making, reporting, risk management and team work. YES helps create a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship amongst Auckland’s young people.

9. The funding from the local board will support the delivery of the YES Kick Start days in February 2019. The Kick start days are held in sub-regions (North, South, East, Central/West) and are the first day students get to meet the Young Enterprise team, and find out about their 2019 year, what YES is about, and what is in store for them. All schools in the local board area that have shown an interest in YES are invited. In addition, the invite is extended to those schools who have not shown an interest to enable them to make a decision as to whether to participate.

Town Centre revitalisation implementation ($164,000)

10. The Manurewa Local Board Plan 2017 identifies the local board’s wish to make the Manurewa town centre the heart of the community to create a centre where people choose to live, socialise and work.

11. In order to achieve this, it is recommended the local board continues to support the Manurewa Town Centre Steering Group. The steering group is made up of the Manurewa Local Board Chair, Auckland Council group staff, the Manurewa Business Improvement District, and Southmall. It has an independent chair and draws upon consultant support as required.

12. The Manurewa Local Economic Development Action Plan 2015 identifies the need to continue to support the steering group to enhance the vitality and viability of the Manurewa town centre (action 1.3).

13. Over the past year the steering group has identified opportunities to support projects and initiatives in the wider local board area that will in turn support the viability of the Manurewa town centre. This has included supporting the local board with enhancing Te Mahia Station.

14. In recognition of the wider role the steering group is playing in supporting the local board, the allocation of $164,000 towards the town centre revitalisation implementation, will enable continuation of the following activities:

· Facilitation and support of the Manurewa Town Centre Steering Group: Meeting the costs of continuing the steering group and associated consultant support and in addition the delivery of key projects identified by the steering group in the forthcoming year.

· Support for Te Mahia Station work: meeting the costs of consultant support to enable the local board to ensure that opportunities to enhance the station and other outcomes are maximised and delivered.

· Outcomes identified by other work in surrounding areas: Exact projects are to be identified but the Locally Driven Initiatives operational budget can be used to fund studies or research that will support the economic growth of the Manurewa Local Board area. Some key projects may be identified through the current Integrated Area Plan for the Manurewa-Takanini-Papakura corridor.

15. Outside the continuation of support for the Manurewa Town Centre Steering Group the full scope of projects and initiatives will be drafted with the input of the local board and/ or steering group.

Additional work programme items ($0)

16. In addition to the above work programme items requiring budget allocation, the work programme includes the following activities:

i. Way-finding signage programme, to identify what signage is needed and where, options for design and a programme of implementation.

ii. Marketing and promotional strategy, to develop a specific brand for Manurewa to raise the profile for Manurewa as a great place to live, work and play. This will be developed with the involvement of the Manurewa, Wiri and Clendon Business Associations.

iii. Supporting youth transitions, to investigate opportunities to support youth transition into employment.

Local impacts and local board views

17. The draft 2018/2019 local economic development programme was presented to the local board at the 24 May 2018 workshop and has been amended to reflect the comments received at that workshop.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

18. There are no direct impacts as a result of this report on Māori. However, in implementing the programme there is the opportunity to positively impact on Māori by seeking to address issues that affect Māori in the local board area, such as through supporting the youth transitions work programme. In addition to this, consideration will be given to the need to consult with iwi and any impacts on Māori arising from the specific projects being undertaken.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

19. Progress against the Manurewa Local Board Local Economic Development Work Programme 2018/2019 will be reported to the local board as part of the quarterly performance report.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

20. The Manurewa Local Board Local Economic Development Work Programme 2018/2019 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 an identified project.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

21. 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.

Manurewa Local Board Governance Forward Work Calendar - June 2018

File No.: CP2018/02833

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

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

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

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

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

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

ii) clarifying what advice is required and when

iii) clarifying the rationale for reports.

4. The calendar will be updated every month, be included on the agenda for business meetings and distributed to relevant council staff. It is recognised that at times items will arise that are not programmed. Board members are welcome to discuss changes to the calendar.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) note the Governance Forward Work Calendar as at 6 June 2018.

Horopaki / Context

5. The council’s Quality Advice Programme aims to improve the focus, analysis, presentation and timeliness of staff advice to elected representatives. An initiative under this is to develop forward work calendars for Governing Body committees and local boards. These provide elected members with better visibility of the types of governance tasks they are being asked to undertake and when they are scheduled.

6. There are no new projects in the Governance Forward Work Calendar. The calendar brings together in one schedule reporting on all of the board’s projects and activities that have been previously approved in the local board plan, long-term plan, departmental work programmes and through other board decisions. It includes Governing Body policies and initiatives that call for a local board response.

7. This initiative is intended to support the board’s governance role. It will also help staff to support local boards, as an additional tool to manage workloads and track activities across council departments, and it will allow greater transparency for the public.

8. The calendar is arranged in three columns, “Topic”, “Purpose” and “Governance Role”:

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

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

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

Governance role	Examples
Setting direction / priorities / budget	Capex projects, work programmes, annual plan
Local initiatives / specific decisions	Grants, road names, alcohol bans
Input into regional decision-making	Comments on regional bylaws, policies, plans
Oversight and monitoring	Local board agreement, quarterly performance reports, review projects
Accountability to the public	Annual report
Engagement	Community hui, submissions processes
Keeping informed	Briefings, cluster workshops

9. Board members are welcome to discuss changes to the calendar. The calendar will be updated and reported back every month to business meetings. Updates will also be distributed to relevant council staff.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
