Local Board Transport Capital Fund

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

· Be safe

· Not impede network efficiency

· Be in the road corridor (although projects running through parks may be considered if they support a transport outcome).

6. The below financial summary table shows the total funds available in the current political term, amount completed to date and remaining budget left:

Ōrākei Local Board Transport Capital Fund Financial Summary
Total Funds Available in current political term	$2,385,895
Amount committed to date on projects approved for design and/or construction	$809,625
Remaining Budget left	$1,576,270

7. The table below reflects the status of projects to which LBTCF has already been committed.

Status update on current of Local Board Transport Capital Fund projects
Project	Description	Current status	Status change since last month?	Projected cost
Shared Path - Gowing Drive and Ōrākei Spine	Connect the community to the Glen Innes to Tamaki Drive Shared Path. Currently no direct north and south link across the Shared Path to local schools, shopping and community facilities	The Board approved up to $2,000,000 of capital funding to the project. Note: As there is no formal resolution requesting $2 million of funding through the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF), it is not taken into account in the Board Financial Summary below.	No	$9,770,000
Walkway Connection -Wilsons Beach to Shore Road Reserve	Walkway connection between Wilsons Beach and Shore Road Reserve	The Board allocated $30,000 to enable the development of the concept plans. Community Facilities advise they are completing this project using LDI funding and reporting directly to the Board. Hence the project will be closed off in the LBTCF at a final cost of $17,775 and the remaining allocation returned to the Board for use elsewhere. This will be removed from August 2018 table.	Yes	Expended - $17,77
Elwood Place Footpath Extension	Connect the existing footpaths at Elwood Place and the park	A resolution was approved in August 2017 requesting AT to proceed to detailed design and construction. Community Facilities staff advise they are currently in the physical works tender procurement process for this project.	Yes	$63,000
537 Selwyn Reserve Walkway	Close the gap in the current walking network in Selwyn Reserve	Community Facilities staff advise they are currently in the detailed design process with the preferred design as discussed with the Board to be a concrete path using Tripstop joints.	Yes	$148,000
Selwyn Reserve Cycle Racks	Improve amenities for cyclists in the park	Installed. This item will be removed from the August 2018 LBTCF table.	Yes	$5,000
The Landing Entrance Upgrade	Improved entrance way to “The Landing” on Tamaki Drive	The design for The Landing has been completed and has a Firm Estimate of Cost (FEC) of $140,000. Construction work for a new marine sports centre at the marina has started with completion due in 2018. The Landing entrance construction will need to be delayed until the completion of these works.	Yes

Responses to resolutions

8. The ‘Resolution’ is recorded below in bold. Auckland Transport’s response is below the ‘Resolution’ in normal font.

9. Resolution number OR/2018/45:

That Auckland Transport be requested to provide options to the Board for urban design solutions, denser planting in verges and signage, to deter dangerous pedestrian crossing from the eastern end of Selwyn Reserve over Tamaki Drive to the café precinct area.

10. Auckland Transport will continue to maintain the current planting in the verges of Selwyn Reserve adjacent to Tamaki Drive. However, to ensure driver and pedestrian visibility around intersections, street garden planting is not recommended to grow higher than 600mm and we will ensure that this standard is adhered to.

11. Resolution number OR/2018/45:

That Auckland Transport be requested to identify a location for a designated loading zone within close proximity to the Tamaki Drive/Patteson Ave intersection in Mission Bay to service supply and delivery requirements of local businesses.

12. Auckland Transport (AT Metro) has plans to install a bus layover at this location, therefore, there is insufficient room to accommodate a loading zone.

13. Please note, loading is permitted outside 61 Tamaki Drive, Mission Bay which is close to Patteson Avenue.

14. Resolution number OR/2018/45:

That Auckland Transport be requested to provide a design for the narrowing of the intersection at St Johns Rd/ Felton Matthew Avenue, including a facility to enable a safe right hand turn into traffic flow from Felton Matthew and a safe crossing facility for pedestrians and cyclists.

15. Auckland Transport is currently seeking feedback on a proposal to signalise the intersection of Felton Matthew Avenue and St Johns Road. The proposal includes the provision for pedestrian crossing facilities on both roads. The St Johns Road, Meadowbank – Clearway and Intersection Upgrade consultation closed early May 2018. The Ōrākei Local Board provided a comprehensive submission.

16. Resolution number OR/2018/45:

That Auckland Transport be requested to advise the Board on the cost/ feasibility of providing a comprehensive and holistic plan for the escalating congestion issues in the Ellerslie Business Precinct, with a focus on traffic movement along Ladies Mile/ Main Highway and within proximity to Ellerslie Train Station.

17. Transport portfolio leads met with Auckland Transport to discuss any future development plans for the Ellerslie Business Precinct. It was accepted that AT give priority to pedestrians over vehicles, in accordance with the Network Operating Framework. No further work is being undertaken at this time.

18. Resolution number OR/2018/45:

That Auckland Transport be requested to reinvestigate the installation of broken yellow lines across the intersection at Arney Rd/Buttle Street, Remuera and on one side of Buttle Street to deter congestion, illegal parking, enhance pedestrian safety, and enable access for emergency vehicles and rubbish trucks.

19. Auckland Transport will install six metre broken yellow lines on the apex of each corner of Buttle Street. The primary purpose of this work is to prevent vehicles parking and ensure that the pram crossings remain clear for pedestrians.

20. Based on the overall results of the assessment, Auckland Transport is unable to install broken yellow lines down the length of Buttle Street as the street has a width greater than 6.5 metres and is not determined to be narrow. A street width greater than 6.5 metres allows for two metres of parallel parking on each side of the road while still allowing 2.5 metres for a through lane for drivers, which is appropriate for local roads.

21. While parked vehicles may reduce the traffic flow to a single lane at times, there are a number of points where vehicles can pass by using driveways. Parked vehicles can also make the road appear narrow to drivers and this can encourage slower speeds, which generally improves road safety.

22. Resolution number OR/2018/45:

That Auckland Transport be requested to provide options for the installation of broken yellow lines in Hilltop St, Remuera and at the intersection of Hilltop Street and Maungarei Street to indicate legal parking zones, enable vehicle visibility in and out of the intersection, and to improve the currently dangerous pedestrian environment.

23. Auckland Transport engineers visited the site and believe the intersection is operating relatively safely, with no recorded crashes for the last ten years. As provided in the road code, no cars are entitled to park within six metres of an intersection. Auckland Transport’s current policy is not install broken yellow lines to indicate this national requirement, however, it is investigating putting limit lines (hockey sticks) on driveways to prevent residents being blocked in.

24. Resolution number OR/2018/67:

That the Ōrākei Local Board requests Auckland Transport to reinstate the painted zebra lines on the pedestrian crossing on Meadowbank Road (between Corinth Street and Mt Carmel Place), to preserve safe pedestrian access to and from local schools.

25. Auckland Transport has water blasted the site again to ensure the zebra ghost markings are no longer visible. An investigation to see if a zebra crossing is justified is currently being undertaken. The Board will be updated with the results in due course.

26. Resolution number OR/2018/68:

That the Ōrākei Local Board requests Auckland Transport to reinstate the St Johns Bush Signage, at the St Johns Road entrance.

27. St Johns Bush is a reserve/park, so any signage is the responsibility of Auckland Council.

Auckland Transport Local Board Transport Capital Fund - Ōrākei Local Board

File No.: CP2018/10431

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To progress the allocation of the Auckland Transport Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) for the Ōrākei Local Board.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. Local boards can use the LBTCF to deliver transport infrastructure projects that are not part of Auckland Transport’s work programme.

3. There is $1,576,270 in the Ōrākei Local Board’s LBTCF. It is recommended that Boards’ allocate this funding, and where possible, projects are completed this electoral term.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendations

That the Ōrākei Local Board:

a) allocate $10,000 from the Auckland Transport Local Board Transport Capital Fund to a ten-bike shelter at Meadowbank Train Station.

b) allocate $45,000 from the Auckland Transport Local Board Transport Capital Fund to design, procure and install wayfinding signage at 12 walkways in the St Johns Park area.

c) allocate $5,000 from the Auckland Transport Local Board Transport Capital Fund to remove vegetation overhanging private properties.

d) allocate up to $200,000 from the Auckland Transport Local Board Transport Capital Fund to fully light the 12 identified walkways in the St Johns Park area.

Horopaki / Context

4. This report responds to the Board’s resolution (CP2018/02689) requesting Rough Orders of Cost (ROC) for bike racks at Meadowbank Train Station and installation of way finding signage and lighting in 12 walkways in the St Johns Park area.

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

· be safe

· not impede network efficiency

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

6. There is currently $1,576,270 remaining in the LBTCF. It is recommended that Boards spend this funding and projects are completed in this electoral term.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

7. ROCs were requested for the following projects:

· Installation of permanent bike racks at Meadowbank Station preferably within sightline of the CCTV cameras

· installation of wayfinding signage at 12 walkways in the St Johns Park area.

Installation of bike racks at Meadowbank Train Station - Resolution CP2018/02689

8. The Board requested a Rough Order of Cost to install permanent bike racks at Meadowbank Station preferably within sightline of the CCTV cameras. This was later revised to provide “sheltered and secure” bike parking.

9. Train Services staff advise that their policy is not to have bike parking or shelters on the platform itself as these hinder the easy and safe flow of rail patrons. This means that the options for the placement of the shelter is limited to an area near the road and at the entry to the overbridge serving the station.

10. There are currently two sheffield racks adjacent to the walkway to the overbridge. Changes to road layout and a new bus shelter are due to be constructed at the station entrance in June/July 2018. The Glen Innes to Tamaki shared path is also proposed to be constructed close by with a possible set of stairs included. This will impact on available space for a bike shelter.

11. On the basis of the above, three positions were identified and are shown on the plan attached (Attachment A). However, a decision on exact location is better left until final layouts for the other elements are confirmed.

12. Bike shelters without doors are preferred. As there have been high levels of vandalism of shelters with doors at previous sites, this creates a maintenance cost that limits the benefit of the shelter. A shelter similar to the one installed at the Ōrākei Train Station (Attachment B) has been priced.

13. The ROC for a shelter that accommodates 10 bikes in this location is priced at $56,000 to $100,000. Due to limited space and the high probability that it will need a retaining wall, it is recommended the Board allocates the full $100,000 to proceed with this project.

14. There are existing CCTV cameras on the platform but there would be no direct surveillance on the bike shelters as positioned unless the Board wished to fund the additional cost of CCVT specifically for the bike stands.

Investigate the installation of wayfinding signage at 12 walkways in the St Johns Park area – Resolution CP2018/02689

15. The Board requested a ROC to install wayfinding signage at 12 walkways in the St Johns Park area (Attachment C) and asked whether AT had funding. This was later revised to include “additional lighting/fencing to ensure user safety”. Auckland Transport has assessed this request and this request does not meet the funding priority for either the signage or the safety improvements. However, the Board may allocate funds for the signage from its allocation of the LBTCF.

16. The walkways were assessed for lighting, signage, fencing and foliage. Pedestrian wayfinding signage could be installed at each end of the walkways plus “general interest signs” would be placed at the start of cul de sacs where a walkway was located (Attachment D).

17. The ROC to design, procure and install signage is $45,000.

18. The request to also include the time and distance to the nearest bus stop is outside AT signage policy. AT Metro’s standard practice, when a bus service is discontinued, is to replace the old bus stops with a notice/signboard giving all details and a map of the new route.

19. In general, the walkways have all been fenced by adjacent residents with high fences in various levels of condition. Several of the walkways have vegetation overhanging from private properties.

20. Some of the walkways have minimal lighting. To provide high quality lighting would require a full lighting assessment and design.

21. A ROC to light all of the 12 identified walkways is in the order of $150,000 to $200,000.

Criteria and assessment of potential projects against it

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

· be safe

· not impede network efficiency

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

23. All of the potential projects align with local board plan outcomes and satisfy a number of other criteria and could be progressed within the existing LBTCF budget.

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

24. Local board plan outcomes are one of the criteria against which potential projects are assessed and all were assessed positively against this.

25. Local boards will continue to be engaged with LBTCF projects as they progress via Auckland Transport’s Local Board Monthly Update reports.

26. Any engagement with, or impact on, local communities will be assessed on a project by project basis. Sub-regional and regional impact will also be assessed on a project by project basis.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

27. One of the criteria used in the LBTCF assessment is the potential to recognise mana whenua values. Any engagement with, or impact on, Māori will be assessed on a project by project basis.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

28. The below financial summary table shows the total funds available in the current political term, amount completed to date and remaining budget left.

Ōrākei Local Board Transport Capital Fund Financial Summary
Total Funds Available in current political term	$2,385,895
Amount committed to date on projects approved for design and/or construction	$809,625
Remaining Budget left	$1,576,270

29. The financial implication of the board approving recommendations a through d of this report is the allocation of $350,000 the LBTCF. This leaves $126,270 remaining.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

30. Auckland Transport will put risk management strategies in place on a project by project basis.

31. There is a risk that some of the fund will be lost if it is not allocated within this electoral period which finishes in October 2019.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

32. Auckland Transport will progress the decisions made by the local board as a result of this report and provide updates via the monthly reporting process. If it becomes clear that there is a risk of underspend of the LBTCF within this electoral term, Auckland Transport will make further recommendations to the board at a future business meeting using the agreed criteria.

The Landing, Okahu Bay - Operational Management Model

File No.: CP2018/01996

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To endorse The Landing, Ōkahu Bay operational management model to manage the operational risks, issues and opportunities for the reserve.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. The Landing, Ōkahu Bay is within the Ōrākei Local Board area with delegated authority for this reserve.

3. Progress toward achieving The Landing Concept Plan (2013) – Pathways to the Sea is currently stalled. Stakeholders invested a lot of time into the production of the document and it has been endorsed by the Ōrākei Local Board.

4. The status quo does not have a structured management model which has put strain on relationships amongst the stakeholders at The Landing. The suggested operational model will provide a mechanism for all stakeholders to move The Landing Concept Plan forward in a more cohesive fashion through monthly stakeholder meetings.

5. The proposed operational management model provides a structure for reporting, monitoring and managing risks, issues and opportunities at the Landing (attachment A: The Landing – Ōkahu Bay Operational Model), including capturing data to inform future decisions and long-term planning with quarterly reporting to the local board.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendations

That the Ōrākei Local Board:

a) endorse option 2 – Council led management of The Landing which would create an Advisory Working Group led by the Head of Commercial Leasing and Businesses (Community Facilities (CF)). The group would be made up of representatives from Community Services (CS), Community Facilities subject matter expert(s) (depending on the issue) and the Operations Manager (existing resource).

b) endorse officer reporting to the Ōrākei Local Board on a quarterly basis at the Local Board business meeting.

Horopaki / Context

6. The Landing is classified as a Recreation Reserve and Ōrākei Local Board has delegated authority on the use of and activities within local parks.

7. The Landing 2013 Concept Plan focuses on user and community aspirations and to prioritise improved access to water based recreational activities. Implementing the Concept Plan will support Auckland’s Sport and Recreation Strategic Action Plan 2014-2024 for more Aucklanders, more active, more often.

8. The Landing has a diverse range of activities and user groups that utilise this important local and regional open space. This includes community and commercial marine based recreational activities sharing this compact location.

9. The Landing has significant issues and risks to monitor and manage for the overlapping community user groups and commercial activities, multiple stakeholders and health and safety obligations. There is not currently a single source of reference where these are documented.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

10. As a result of recent analysis, officers consider the current management regime on the reserve does not provide a cohesive approach to the management of the Landing due to the competing pressures of public/stakeholder use and development at the site.

11. It has been identified that there is a big divide amongst stakeholders in the current direction of The Landing which is moving away from what was originally agreed by all stakeholders and endorsed by Ōrākei Local Board in the Concept Plan (2013).

12. Some stakeholders feel their voices are not being heard which is creating divisions at The Landing.

13. The table below evaluates the three options against the objectives in The Landing Concept Plan 2013 and identifies the benefits and risks of each of the options.

Objectives of The Landing Concept Plan 2013

· Improve access to the sea for marine related sport and recreation activities.

· Support opportunities to increase participation in water-based sport and recreation activities.

· Develop quality open spaces at the three corners of the site to increase public enjoyment of The Landing, Ōkahu Bay and the Waitematā Harbour.

· Create clear connections to Ōkahu Bay beach to the east.

· Accommodate the various clubs and users of the site in an efficient way that supports their future development and growth.

· Ensure safe and efficient use of the hardstand and Ōkahu Bay

· Support improving the environmental standard of Ōkahu Bay.

· Enhance the Landing as a destination for marine-related activities such as sailing, paddling and waka culture

· Achieve high-quality design and urban design outcomes.

Operational management models

14. There are three options available to the local board to address monitoring and managing the risks, issues and opportunities at The Landing.

15. All stakeholder day to day operational issues are directly communicated to the Operations Manager who will keep a risks, issues and opportunities register. Options 2 and 3 will see the introduction of a monthly stakeholder meeting facilitated by the Operations Manager (existing resource) and department representatives from the Community Service (CS) and Community Facilities (CF). Please see flow charts in attachment A.

a. Option one: Status quo: Individual stakeholder activity.

b. Option two: Council led management: This operational management model provides a structure for reporting, monitoring and managing risks, issues and opportunities at the Landing through the advisory working group. The group will be led by the Head of Commercial Leasing and Business, and made up of representatives from Community Services, Community Facilities subject matter expert(s) (depending on the issue) and the Operations Manager (existing resource). Staff will report back quarterly to the Ōrākei Local Board.

c. Option three: Council/local board led management: As above but with the inclusion of a local board representative who would hold full delegation of the local board. The local board representative reports directly to the Ōrākei Local Board. No officer reporting.

16. The proposed operational model(s) collaborates with key stakeholders on the site and the council through monthly meetings with a focus on increasing community access to the Landing.

17. In discussion with the local board and stakeholders, officers considered the three management models in the table below to address the issues and risks to manage the commercial activities and community user groups.

Governance and operational management options for The Landing
	Option one	Option two	Option three
Description management options	Individual stakeholder activity Status quo	Council led management: Advisory Group members: · Led by Commercial Leasing and Businesses · Community Services representatives. · Community Facilities Representative(s) · Operations Manager	Council/Local Board led management Advisory Group members: · Led by Commercial Leasing and Businesses · Community Services representatives. · Community Facilities Representative(s) · Operations Manager · Local Board representative
Risks	· Issues or risks are addressed in isolation of other users at the Landing. · Sporadic approach to monitoring and managing the Landing. · Not a cohesive approach to management of the Landing. · Continuation of individual agendas being furthered without wider stakeholder agreement.	· Some activities or user groups may not support the model · Issues and risks of community user groups and commercial activities are not addressed. · Perceived conflict of interest in the management of the site.	· Some activities or user groups may not support the model · Issues and risks of community user groups and commercial activities are not addressed. · Perceived conflict of interest in the management of the site. · Over burden of local board representative with operational issues. · Delegated decision making from local board to individual local board member.
Benefits	· Continuation of existing management regime under individual obligations.	· Enables the model to function immediately and manages community requirements for open space marine based recreational activities. · Activates the Landing concept plan 2013 using existing resources. · Captures data and evidence to inform future decisions and long-term planning. · Improve the communication / engagement which will allow all stakeholders to raise risks, issues and opportunities through appropriate channels.	· Enables the model to function immediately and manages community requirements for open space marine based recreational activities. · Activates the Landing concept plan 2013 using existing resources. · Captures data and evidence to inform future decisions and long-term planning. · Improve the communication / engagement which will allow all stakeholders to raise risks, issues and opportunities through appropriate channels.
Conclusions	This option does not support a cohesive approach to managing the Landing.	This option activates the Landing through stakeholder engagement and buy in toward achieving what has been agreed in the concept plan through monthly stakeholder meetings and delivers expectations of the local board, council and the community. All day to day operational risks, issues and opportunities addressed and documented in a timely fashion by the Advisory Working group. Risks, issues and opportunities which require governance decisions presented to the Ōrākei Local Board.	This option will require a local board member to be present at all operational meetings and have the mandate to make decisions on behalf of the local board and report directly back to Ōrākei Local Board.

Analysis and advice

18. In order to have an efficient operation which delivers on The Landing Concept Plan, all stakeholders need to be engaged in a forum where any risks, issues and opportunities are addressed and fully documented with the establishment of an issues, risks and opportunities register administered by the operations manager and council representative. This will allocate roles and responsibilities into a work programme.

19. Recommended Option 2 is most likely to progress the objectives of The Landing Concept Plan (2013) and result in successful management of the Landing. It will allow an engaged and cohesive approach for all stakeholders through scheduled monthly stakeholder meetings. It will not require a local board representative to be bogged down by day to day operational issues.

20. Option 3 will require a Local Board member to have full delegated authority from the Ōrākei Local Board to make decisions and therefore be required to attend all operational meetings and report directly back to the Ōrākei Local Board. This option is not recommended as officers feel this will require a Local Board member to be bogged down by day to day operational issues where option 2 will ensure only governance decisions from the Local Board will be required.

21. If the local board accepts the recommendations of the report this will initiate the appointment of the operations manager (existing resource) by the Head of Community Facilities Leasing and Businesses, Community Facilities and the establishment of the advisory working group (option 2 – Council led management) working closely with the operations manager to address operational risks, issues and opportunities.

22. A stakeholder meeting will be called to present the operational model and a memorandum of understanding in the operational model agreed upon.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe /

Local impacts and local board views

23. The establishment of the operational management model will improve communication amongst the stakeholders with a clearly defined channel of communication thus improving the Landing Operations. This will also allow the Ōrākei Local Board to understand the ongoing risks, issues and opportunities through quarterly reporting at local board Business meetings.

24. A representative of Ōrākei Water Sports and Ngāti Whātua has been engaged in discussions on the proposed operational model and is in agreement with the direction that is being proposed.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

25. Nothing foreseen at this time.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

26. The risk of not implementing the proposed operational model (option 2) is status quo where there is no clearly defined channel to raise risks, issues and opportunities thus creating individual agendas which do not adhere to The Landing Concept Plan.

27. Reputational risk for all those involved in the development of The Landing Concept Plan if it is not delivered.

28. The intention is to bring all stakeholders into a forum where ideas can be shared for the greater good of The Landing and the community. Initially, these meetings will be somewhat contentious due to recent history however, over time the hope is that the waka will move in the same direction once communication lines are opened and a more structured approach is in place.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

29. The operational model to be endorsed by the Local Board and first operations meeting to be called as soon as approved.

43. The board provided $5,000 in the 2017/2018 financial year to deliver the design of a strategic work programme supporting initiatives that enhance community awareness of the Tāmaki estuary and improvements to water quality. The budget also funded a coordinator to support groups in progressing the vision for the Tāmaki estuary.

44. Funding for the 2018/2019 financial year will support the continued collaboration of the five member local boards and several community organisations who advocate for the Tāmaki catchment through the forum. Staff will also explore additional funding sources and sponsors to support the aspirations of the group going forward. Staff will also investigate opportunities for the forum to partner with academic institutions to discover more about the environmental issues and social interactions of communities within the Tāmaki catchment.

45. It is recommended that the board allocate $5,000 of its locally driven initiatives budget towards the Tāmaki Estuary Environmental Forum in the 2018/2019 financial year.

Ecological restoration projects on local parks and reserves (stage two) – $149,000

46. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘the natural environment is valued, protected and enhanced by our communities’ the board has indicated it would like to continue to fund the ecological restoration projects on local parks and reserves.

47. The benefits of the projects include:

· reduced invasive plant species present in the reserves limiting further spread both within the reserve and in other areas

· increase in native biodiversity and improved ecosystem

· improved social value of the reserve as a space for public recreation and enjoyment.

48. The completion of this project in the 2017/2018 financial year reduced the amount of time required for future control of invasive plants within the reserve. A list of reserves, objectives and suggested budget allocations of the project have been included in Table 1 below.

18. 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.

9. This year ACE, Libraries, PSR and SSI departments that make up the Community Services directorate are presenting work programmes in a combined report as an initial step toward an integrated programme for the Community Services directorate.

10. Preparation for the development of draft work programmes was supported by a series of workshops with the local board. Initial workshops provided strategic direction and subsequent workshops identified priority activities to support that direction.

11. The work programme for SSI has been included alongside other Community Services work programmes for the first time. Some activities are funded through regional budgets but have been included as they will have an impact on future asset or service provision in the local board area and may also require local board decisions or input as they progress.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

12. The Community Services work programmes 2018/2019 for the Ōrākei Local Board includes the following areas of activity:

· ACE – Provision of service at local arts projects and facilities, community empowerment initiatives, community centres and venues and local and regional events.

· Libraries – Provision of library services and programmes that support Aucklanders with reading and literacy, and opportunities to participate in community and civic life.

· PSR – Provision of services to actively engage Aucklanders to lead healthy, connect with nature and value our cultural identity.

· SSI – Provision of service and asset planning advice and support more integrated delivery of community outcomes.

13. The work programmes include activities that:

· align with local board plans

· identify budget allocation and

· outline estimated timeframes for delivery.

14. The work programmes 2018/2019 align to the following Ōrākei Local Board Plan outcomes:

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

17. The local board provided feedback on the proposed Community Services work programmes for the 2018/2019 financial year through a series of workshops in preparation for approving these final work programmes.

18. Feedback from these workshops is reflected in the work programmes included in Attachments A, B, C and D.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

19. Where any aspects of the work programme are anticipated to have a significant impact on Māori, appropriate engagement and consultation will follow.

20. Community Services are committed to being responsive to Māori. When developing and delivering work programmes we consider how we can contribute to Māori well-being, values, culture and traditions.

21. Activities in the work programmes that are specific to Māori outcomes include:

Freedom Camping Bylaw Development

File No.: CP2018/10442

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To seek formal feedback from the Ōrākei 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 Ōrākei Local Board area and have concluded there are:

· nine sites with adequate evidence to be scheduled as prohibited

· six sites with adequate evidence to be scheduled as restricted

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

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

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendations

That the Ōrākei Local Board:

a) recommend to the Regulatory Committee that the nine 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 six sites 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 26 April 2018 as follows:

i) any bylaw needs to be enforceable

ii) monitoring and enforcement is required to ensure bylaw is effective

iii) the whole of Tamaki Drive should be prohibited for freedom camping

iv) priority should be given to tourists who provide a greater contribution to the local economy.

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.

Ōrākei Local Board area site assessments

28. The outcome of the initial site assessments for the Ōrākei 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 Ōrākei 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 Ōrākei Local Board area:

· nine sites have adequate evidence to be scheduled as prohibited

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

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

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

33. The Ōrākei Local Board also provided general feedback on the development of the bylaw at the workshop on 26 April 2018. This feedback included:

· any bylaw needs to be enforceable

· monitoring and enforcement is required to ensure bylaw is effective

· the whole of Tamaki Drive should be prohibited for freedom camping

· priority should be given to tourists who provide a greater contribution to the local economy.

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 Ōrākei 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.

Ōrākei Local Board

21 June 2018

Board Member Report - Carmel Claridge

File No.: CP2018/10391

Purpose of the report

1. To update the Ōrākei Local Board Members on projects, activities and issues.

Recommendations

a) That the report be received.

b) That the Ōrākei Local Board formally endorse its feedback to Auckland Transport on the following matters:

i. Bus Layovers in Mission Bay and St Heliers

ii. Proposed Intersection upgrade Felton Matthew Avenue/ St Johns Rd.

c) That the Ōrākei Local Board request that Auckland Transport install Broken Yellow Lines on one side of Hilltop Street, Remuera, and at the intersection of Hilltop Street and Maungarei Rd, Remuera.

Portfolio Lead: Environment and Transport

Other (alternate portfolio holder): Parks and Reserves, Community Leases

Environment

Newmarket Stream Restoration Project:

This project funded in conjunction with the Waitematā Local Board continues to flourish. Residents involved are reaching to schools and wider community to get involved. A copy of their most recent newsletter and Stream Report is attached.

Eastern Songbird Project:

Another initiative in the Environment space that is going from strength to strength is the Eastern Songbird Project. Although the Songbird project itself has a stipulated geographical area, residents across the wider Ward have been keen to get involved in pest trapping on private property. Alan Minson from the project has so far made presentations to the Mission Bay Kohimarama Residents’ Association at their recent AGM and the Stonefields Residents with traps available. There is also a Free Rat Trap handout outside the St Heliers Library scheduled for 10am on Saturday June 23^rd. Alan is also booked for the upcoming Meadowbank St Johns Residents’ Association meeting on Tuesday June 12^th. It is crucial to get people living alongside the bush area on both sides of the Pourewa Valley to get involved. This all augers well for the extension of the Eastern Songbird Project across the entire Ward.

Waiatarua Reserve Site Visit:

To get a better understanding of the current operational management of the Waiatarua Wetlands, I organized a meeting on site with Healthy Waters staff and representatives from Council contractors currently responsible for maintaining the storm water infrastructure and waterways in the Reserve. Their area of responsibility for upkeep includes the weirs, culverts, silt traps, and perimeter waterways, but does not extend to the grassed sections, or planting.

Assurances were received from both Council staff and contractors that the Wetlands are functioning as they should be as a natural storm water catchment and treatment facility. Silt traps are reported to be inspected, and if necessary cleared on a weekly basis. The course canals running through the Reserve from near the Grand Drive entrance to the mid-section of the Wetlands were cleared of debris and silt last year. This is a major exercise requiring the silt to be removed from the floor of the waterway, taken off-site by truck, treated, and then discharged to landfill. This will need to be repeated within the next five years

During the autumn storm events in Auckland a number of trees were blown over and have fallen into the perimeter waterway – therefore becoming the responsibility of Healthy Waters rather than Community Facilities. We were told these trees have already been logged and scheduled for removal. Noxious weeds along the waterways are treated by targeted spraying. The evidence of native fish species and eels easily visible in the waterways indicate a reasonably healthy ecosystem.

Specific areas were identified as being optimal sites for further planting. These sites were identified according to the value the additional planting would have on stream shading to help keep water temperature cool. Some existing plants are nearing the end of their natural life and need replacing. As part of the work on the new Waiatarua Plan these sites need to be listed - and recommendations for species incorporated so there is a document for staff and community groups to refer to for future Community Planting days.

Transport

Board Feedback to Auckland Transport:

The Board provided feedback on the following this month: (as attached)

· Felton Matthew Ave/ St Johns Rd Intersection Improvements

· Proposed Bus Layovers – Mission Bay and St Heliers

Broken Yellow Lines Installation:

There appears to be a lack of consistency in the circumstances in which Auckland Transport propose Broken yellow lines (BYL) installation within the Ward. I have requested information on whether or not there is a policy followed and any helpful guidelines so that Board members may be better informed when approached by residents either requesting or objecting to BYL installation.

Hilltop Crescent Parking Issues:

Apart from visits from enforcement officers the congestion, illegal parking, and blocked driveway access issues continue unabated in Hilltop Street. Admittedly this problem is limited to the times when there are games or training at the College Rifles Sports Ground. However, the response from Auckland Transport to date has not been sufficient to make any difference to the ongoing problems at this location. The site was being evaluated for the installation of ‘hockey stick’ lines to help prevent parking over driveways but no further information has been received by me on this. I am continuing to liaise with a resident who coordinates the neighbour’s responses. It is the residents’ view, and one which I share, that this matter is one of safety and that Auckland Transport assessment of this location for broken yellow line treatment needs to be done at the times the problems occur in order to get an accurate picture of the dangerous traffic and pedestrian movements.

Stonefields Berm Improvements:

Auckland Transport have no objection to Stonefields residents fixing and repainting the existing structures on the grass berms, or dealing with the current maintenance issues such as weed growth in the planter boxes. This potential project is currently being discussed by the Stonefields Residents’ Association as something they may be able to work on together with the Mens’ Shed group in Waiatarua Reserve.

Update on Pedestrian Refuges – St Johns Rd:

In response to the OLB resolution passed last month asking for Auckland Transport to investigate the installation of pedestrian refuges on the stretch of St Johns Rd that runs from the Meadowbank Mall to Truman St, I have been advised that preliminary work is already underway to facilitate the installation of two refuges along this busy strip of road. Works are not scheduled until the 2109/2020 works programme, and the Board does have the option of bringing the work forward with the cost to be met by us out of our Local Transport Capital Fund. The ROC for each refuge is $60,000.

Board Member Report - Colin Davis

File No.: CP2018/10377

Purpose of the report

1. To update the Ōrākei Local Board Members on projects, activities and issues since last reported.

Recommendation

a) That the report be received.

Portfolio Lead: Arts, Events and Libraries; Heritage

Other (alternate portfolio holder): Resource Consenting and Regulatory; Civil Defence and Emergency Management

Arts

On 15 June 2017 the Board approved the arts, community and events work programme, which included $20,000 for a utility box artwork programme. Draft designs have been done for four of the five boxes in the St Heliers Village, as a place-making project, and for a further site in Mission Bay. Paintings on two of the smaller boxes are underway by the same artist and work should start soon on the other two larger boxes. Artworks have been completed on two small boxes in Ellerslie and in Remuera.

Heritage

(1) Tamaki Drive Searchlights

Although the new information sign has been installed on the Tamaki Drive seawall opposite the searchlight emplacements, the restoration project has stalled. A meeting is being arranged with staff and the consultant architect to progress this project.

(2) Heritage Projects

The inventory of sites of heritage significance in the Board’s area has been completed and had been distributed to our two libraries and staff.

I have been working with Watercare to erect an information sign on the local reserve at Whakatakataka Bay, Ngapipi Road, adjacent to the 20m sealed section of the former Hobson Bay pipeline, which was kept as a piece of engineering heritage. The illustrated sign has been prepared and will soon be erected on site.

Restoration of the World Wars One and Two war memorial avenue of trees along Glover Road adjacent to Glover Park is yet to commence. 63 titoki trees were originally planted in 1953 as a memorial for those from the district who were killed in the two wars. The missing titoki trees are to be planted. The two original plaques have deteriorated and become somewhat illegible. Restoration work on them is to be done at the same time. I suggest it would be appropriate, given the status of the little recognised war memorial, that a re-dedication service be held at a future appropriate date.

A revision of the Board’s WWI Roll of Honour was completed with the addition of new names and information. However, my recent discovery of other pertinent Rolls of Honour and memorials has delayed publication to include more names and information as the result. The new comprehensive Roll will be unique as a local board heritage document and will include a new section featuring rolls of honour and memorials generally covering the Board’s area.

The Principal Heritage Advisor, Central, has advised that it is hoped to engage contractors to restore the rare 90-year old heritage ventilation pipe in the St Heliers commercial area. It had been intended that this work would be done at the same time as the utility box artwork project.

Signage is to be installed on the Stonefields Heritage Trail.

Reports in Progress and Submissions

Earlier in the year I had drafted a Revised Standing Orders of the Ōrākei Local Board of the Auckland Council. The current set the Board uses was drafted by the Transition Authority in 2010. The draft is presently with officers for review before consideration by members at a workshop.

The Tamaki Drive Precinct Events Guidelines was adopted by the Board on 15 March, subject to a couple of amendments. The only outstanding change is to update the signage section, as resolved by the Board. I have rewritten the text for that section and made the consequential changes to the illustrations. These are yet to be incorporated in the final document. This delay is very disappointing. I presume the events team, ATEED and Auckland Transport are now operating under the adopted Guidelines. The St Heliers/Glendowie Residents Association has been referred to the document on the Board’s 15 March agenda and the Board’s resolutions.

Presentation of the Board’s submission relating to the proposed retirement village development in St Johns Road to the planning commissioners, has been scheduled for 18 June.

Activities (since 6 May 2018)

As well as assisting with a range of citizens’ enquiries, attending meetings, and involvement with other community activities, I have also attended the following to date:

7 May a meeting of AT Board members at which I with fellow Board members presented the Board’s submissions on the Auckland Regional Land Transport Plan.

7 May a meeting of the Council’s Quality Advice Political Advisory Group, of which I am a member.

7 May a catch-up meeting with the Ōrākei Ward Governing Body member.

8 May the transport portfolio briefing.

8 May the meeting with senior pupils of Churchill Park School at which I judged a class project.

9 May the ANZAC Day debrief.

Ten years ago the same AT traffic engineer met with me and representatives of both the residents and business associations at exactly the same place and on the same issues of safety and parking. It was proposed then, and I reiterated, that the unused reserved on-street parking for Police vehicles be re-configured for shoppers’ parking as the Police station is mostly unused and its site has adequate off-street parking. The AT engineer was positive and undertook to take the proposal back to his managers. This is a practical solution to redress the proposed loss of parking which is vital to the economic well-being of this commercial centre.

Board Member Report - Toni Millar

File No.: CP2018/10334

Purpose of the report

1. To update the Ōrākei Local Board Members on projects, activities and issues.

Recommendations

a) That the report be received.

b) That Auckland Council work with Vector, MBIE and Government to facilitate the relevant legislation changes to enable Vector to have access to private smart meters in times of Emergencies.

c) That Auckland Council implement a project management schedule to check ALL trees under their jurisdiction asap. The current situation could hold Council liable for severe damage and loss of life and limb.

Portfolio Lead: Civil Defence and Emergency Management

Alternate Portfolio Holder: Transport, Heritage; Arts, Events and Libraries

Civil Defence and Emergency Management meeting 30 May

2. Council is carrying out a thorough review of procedures after the 10 April storm.

3. Vector presented to the meeting.

· 600,000 people [180,000 homes] were without power. This was the biggest power outage in New Zealand history.

· Media were better informed than the Auckland Council head of Emergency Management.

· This required the biggest welfare response nationally since the 2011 Christchurch earthquake.

· Trees crashing and being uprooted caused the most damage

· Auckland Council is by far the largest owner of trees, and the majority of crashing trees occurred with Council trees. Council does not currently have a systematic checking of trees on its land. Checking trees is not in the LTP. Thus another dramatic weather event could cause just as much mayhem and disruption.

· Vector can only monitor if power is connected to power sub stations – not individual dwellings. Although we have the highest concentration of smart meters in homes, Vector is legally not allowed to access the private smart meters. There should be changes to allow Vector to connect to individual smart meters in times of emergency.

· Vector carried out tree works and deliveries of emergency supplies at their cost – to assist customers. Council thanked Vector for going beyond their required work.

Recommendations:

i. That Auckland Council work with Vector, MBIE and Government to facilitate the relevant legislation changes to enable Vector to have access to private smart meters in times of Emergencies.

ii. That Auckland Council implement a project management schedule to check ALL trees under their jurisdiction asap. The current situation could hold Council liable for severe damage and loss of life and limb.

All households need to be prepared in case there is a Power Outage.

4. For very little outlay [under $40], all homes should invest in two items at least. Please see attached photos of stove and light.

i. A portable gas element is invaluable during power outages. They are fool proof and very safe. You cannot turn the stove on unless the 220g gas bottles are correctly installed. These are self-lighting, so no matches required. They pack away in to tidy and convenient cases. You can heat or cook a meal and boil water, conveniently inside during inclement weather. Ideal for all those who do not have a BBQ.

ii. A powerful torch in a convenient place is essential, along with spare batteries. Mine conveniently has a magnet to attach to the knife rack.

iii. Obviously a first aid kit, supplies of all medications required and store of canned food etc is also required.

Frisbee Golf

5. Board members saw Frisbee Golf in action at Waiatarua Reserve. This was a trial to evaluate how frisbee golf operates, with different frisbees, just like traditional golf has different clubs. The Frisbee Golf did not interfere with the regular walkers, runners and dog owners in Waiatarua on a normal Saturday afternoon.

6. I, for one, look forward to the introduction of Frisbee Golf to our Local Board area, even if for a trial period.

AT and Auckland Council to be congratulated for proactive response prior to storms – working to reduce sea water spillage on Tamaki Drive and with residents to get them sandbagging their properties

7. There are photos of the team down at Kohimarama prior to a storm settling in.

St Heliers Library does hold copies of OLB Agendas etc

8. After comments about St Heliers Library not having copies of our agendas etc, I went down to check. Such documents are in the large print room, to the right as you walk in to the library. Some other documents are out on display near the public computer bank.

Board Member Report – Ros Rundle

Economic Development

Mission Bay Business Association

Outstanding issues

· Still waiting for the Auckland Transport (AT) parking consultation for Mission Bay which is, we understand from AT, imminent.

· Update on the Pontoon for Mission Bay – Further testing to be done on the pontoons to use a different and stronger material. This testing will be carried out over the next few months.

· The Association has received a response from AT regarding the Streetscape safety. They had suggested to AT to consider planting the thicker Matapouri plants or similar instead of the small flax bushes which have been trodden down by jay walkers crossing Tamaki Drive (not at the pedestrian crossing). The Association is going to follow up with AT regarding their response.

· The Association feedback on the proposed AT bus layovers in Mission Bay.

· Association happy to have the Waterfront Half marathon becoming an annual event.

· The Night market in Mission Bay confirmed for 24 November and the Association has been informed that there will be 2 food stalls and 20 craft stalls.

Remuera Business Association

Both Cecilia Ngo and Shelley are doing an amazing job in Remuera for the Remuera businesses.

· The Live Life Local video has been taken up by several local businesses. The RBA are subsidising the videos for those who have signed up to date.

· Remuera Prospectus is being finalised and this will be given to Commercial Real Estate, Landlords, possible businesses wishing to trade in Remuera and cold calling on businesses looking for commercial space.

· Window decals for empty shops are to be installed to make the empty shops more appealing, the landlords have agreed with this concept. Several shops have been leased recently.

· Night Market has been put on hold until a more suitable site has been found. RBA manager in contact with other landlords with car parks.

· Bastille Day preparations moving along well. Major sponsor Flight Centre of Remuera have offered return flights to Tahiti, plus the Hobson Magazine will sponsor the window display competition.

· New businesses in Remuera

Go Go Kids – Educational Toys and learning Centre - 319 Remuera Road

Baksana – European Linen and PJ’s - 365 Remuera Road

Ex – Kimberley’s – Currently cosmetic pop up store.

Ellerslie Business Association

Megan Darrow the Manager of Ellerslie Business Association has had a very busy month organising Arterslie. This years school art competition was once again very well subscribed. Artwork was judged from several local schools, Stanhope Primary, St Mary’s School, Ellerslie Primary, Remuera Intermediate. The overall winner a Year 8 student from Stanhope School Sierrah Haughie with her beautiful artwork called “Loyal Doggie”. See photos attached for some of the artwork.

There was chalk art in Ellerslie and later in the month Members Claridge and Rundle judged the decal artwork to be used on the top of the rubbish bins in Ellerslie.

Ellerslie is quickly becoming one of Auckland’s best known suburbs for street art work.

Paul Walsh completed his Wetland Beauty art work in the Roberts Street Carpark this month. The scene is wetland New Zealand with local flora and fauna appearing in the masterpiece. A definite must to view.

Ellerslie is still waiting patiently for the Parking consultation to begin, we are told by AT that it is imminent.

Unfortunately the requested Broken Yellow Lines (BYLs)on Ladies Mile outside Mexico are once again postponed as this request had been lumped in with the pedestrian crossing on Ladies Mile outside Sierra, but when the pedestrian crossing was scraped so to were the Broken yellow lines, so the request has once again been put through to AT in the hope that there might be BYLs painted soon. It is a safety issue on this intersection which is why the request had been put in some months ago.

Community

Eastern Bays Networking Group

Every month this networking group meets at a different location and this month.

This month the meeting was held at the St Luke’s Centre, they will be renaming the centre to Newmarket/Remuera Community Centre.

During the month attended and African Communities Day in Mt Roskill. It was very interesting seeing several different communities and countries coming together as one to celebrate their different cultures.
