Auckland Transport’s Road Safety and Speed Management programme for the Manurewa Local Board area 2018-2021
File No.: CP2018/12549
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To update the Manurewa Local Board on Auckland Transport’s (AT) Road Safety and Speed Management Programme.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. Auckland has a serious problem with people needlessly dying and being seriously injured on our roads and streets. In 2017, 64 people died on Auckland roads and an additional 749 were seriously injured.
3. Road Safety performance in the Manurewa Local Board area has also worsened over the last five years due to various factors. These include economic and population growth, new demands on the road network, and growth in vulnerable road users. Vulnerable road users are people walking, people on bikes, people on motorcycles, and children.
4. There is a renewed focus among the Tāmaki Makaurau Road Safety partners including AT, NZ Police, the NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) and the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) on improving safety and reducing the high number of death and serious injuries (DSi) on the Auckland road network.
5. To meet its long-term goal of Vision Zero, AT is also proposing an ambitious safety infrastructure acceleration programme estimated to reduce DSi by around 20% over an initial three-year period. AT will work closely with its partners to deliver on the Vision Zero goal for Auckland.
6. This follows the New Zealand’s Government’s commitment to deliver a new road safety strategy as outlined in the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport.
7. The AT Board and Executive Leadership Team have recently endorsed an increased three-year investment in road safety engineering, a Speed Management Plan and behaviour change activities to reduce road trauma, including in the Manurewa Local Board area.
8. One of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to reduce road trauma is to implement speed reduction measures. AT is currently working to identify areas and roads around the Auckland region to set lower speed limits. These roads will be added to the Schedule of Speed Limits and drafted into the bylaw. The bylaw will be consulted on Auckland-wide (consultation on the entire programme of works for the Auckland region at a strategic level). Post-consultation, the bylaw will need to be approved by AT’s Board, after which the new lower speed limits will be implemented and become legally enforceable.
9. The primary road safety focus areas in the Manurewa Local Board area for the next three years include safe intersections and roads, safe speeds, vulnerable road user safety, sober driving and young drivers. These areas will be addressed through a combined annual programme of investment in safety engineering, speed management, education and training of road users and enforcement of safe road user behaviour with NZ Police.
10. A senior AT representative will present a PowerPoint presentation on the day of the business meeting.
Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s That the Manurewa Local Board: a) receive the report entitled Auckland Transport’s Safety and Speed Management programme for the Manurewa Local Board area 2018-2021.
|
Horopaki / Context
11. Auckland’s rapid growth has resulted in a number of challenges including housing, transport and public health. The recent increase in road trauma is both a transport and public health issue for the region with significant economic costs.
12. AT’s long-term Vision Zero goal emphasises that no loss of life on the road network is acceptable, and that road designers and operators need to take greater responsibility for preventing road trauma.
13. The Vision Zero approach also accepts that road users are people who make mistakes and therefore all parts of the transport system need to be strengthened through a safe road environment, safe speeds, safe vehicles and safe road use, so that when mistakes occur, it does not lead to people dying or being seriously injured.
14. Speed management is a central part of the Vision Zero approach for reducing speeds to survivable levels for road users, particularly on unforgiving rural roads and in urban streets where there are large numbers of vulnerable road users.
15. Speed management is a low-cost area-wide treatment that will deliver substantial savings including reduced deaths and serious injuries, increased walking, cycling and public transport use, and increased public health benefits.
16. AT and its partners have a Road Safety Action Plan (RSAP) in place that identifies key actions from partners for addressing Road Safety Focus Areas in the Manurewa Local Board area, including speed management. The RSAP is developed collaboratively by AT, NZ Police, ACC and NZTA. It covers the NZ Police districts of Auckland City, Waitematā and Counties Manukau. The document is updated quarterly and a new one for the current financial year is being developed.
17. AT is investing in an ambitious road safety programme including safety engineering, speed management and behaviour change over the next ten years that will contribute towards a 60% reduction in road trauma across Auckland.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
18. Auckland’s DSi rates have increased between 2014
and 2017 as outlined in the table below.

19. While the Manurewa Local Board area DSi made up 7% of
all Auckland DSi in 2017, it has increased 124% from 25 in 2013 to 56 in 2017.
While the Manurewa Local Board area achieved zero road deaths in 2017, it had
the highest level of DSi among urban local boards in 2017 and the fifth highest
rate of serious road injuries per capita, out of the 16 urban local boards in
2016.
20. Within
the Manurewa Local Board area, 46% of all DSi involved vulnerable road users.
21. AT’s
Road Safety Action Plan for 2018/2019 covers the Manurewa Local Board
area. Below is an excerpt from the action plan showing five-year DSi
trends from 2013 to 2017 for the Manurewa Local Board area. The primary
safety intervention measures include aspects from the Safe Systems approach:
Improving the safety of the roads and intersections, improving safety for
motorcycle users, speed management and alcohol/drugged driving prevention
(shaded in red in the table below). Please note that DSi Focus Areas
overlap, meaning one DSi can appear in multiple focus areas.

22. The table also highlights how AT and its partners combine their resources and programmes to address high-risk areas and road user groups through a combination of safety engineering, speed management, education, training and enforcement activities. While a majority of these activities are planned in advance, the action plan is revised quarterly to be more responsive to emerging trends.
23. Road
crashes are investigated by NZ Police and then mapped by NZTA across the
Manurewa Local Board area. The map below highlights Manurewa fatal and serious
crashes from 2013 to 2017, where the majority were midblock crashes (i.e. not
at intersections) and on straight roads.
24. Road death and serious injury locations are also analysed to identify high-risk intersections and routes that have a high collective crash-risk (number of DSi per km or intersection) and personal crash-risk (rate of DSi per vehicle kilometres travelled). This methodology identifies a small percentage of the network carrying a large percentage of the road trauma.
25. Within
the Manurewa Local Board boundaries, there are five high-risk intersections and
five high-risk routes (based on 2012 to 2016 data), as outlined in the two
tables below. One of the high-risk routes is also high-risk for
motorcycles.

28. Speed has an impact on both the likelihood of a crash occurring and the severity of injury, should a crash occur.
29. Therefore, one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to reduce road trauma is to implement speed reduction measures. Research shows that there is a very strong relationship between speed and road safety. It is difficult to think of any other risk factor that has a more powerful impact on crashes or injuries than speed.
30. A Vision Zero or Safe System speed is defined as the maximum survivable speed upon impact where the chance of death is less than 10%.
31. Speeds of 30 km/h are the maximum any vulnerable or unprotected road user can withstand without sustaining death of serious injuries. Although this speed is common on local roads in Europe, it is uncommon in New Zealand.
32. Speeds over 50 km/h dramatically increases the chances of death and serious injury in the event of a crash between two vehicles at an intersection.
33. Contrary to popular belief, the majority of Auckland road deaths and serious injuries occur on 50 km/h urban roads, involving vulnerable road users.
34. While a smaller percentage of speed related crashes occur on rural roads, the ones that do happen are more likely to result in death.
35. Many people fear that reducing the speed limit in urban areas will dramatically increase journey times. However, research shows that lower speed limits only marginally increased journey times. An NZTA study tracked travel times along six different routes in New Zealand. It found that when driving at the maximum posted speed limit wherever possible, drivers arrived at their destination as little as 1.08 minutes faster than when they drove 10 km/h slower.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
36. AT is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and its broader legal obligations in being more responsible or effective to Māori.
37. Māori residents in Auckland experience a much higher risk of road traffic injury than other ethnicities, across all age groups.
38. Māori are also over-represented in road deaths and serious injuries related to speed, making up 22% of all speed-related DSi.
39. The Te Ara Haepapa Road Safety programme is AT’s response to reduce death and serious injuries involving Māori and Rangatahi Māori. The programme is intended to focus delivery through whānau, hapū, iwi, and marae, kohanga reo, kura kaupapa Māori and Māori communities.
40. Manurewa Local Board area has seen an increase in Māori-related DSi in 2017 and some Māori communities will be engaged with through the Te Ara Haepapa Road Safety programme.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe /Local impacts and local board views
41. Auckland Transport provides the Manurewa Local Board with the opportunity to comment on transport projects being delivered in the local board area.
42. The local board’s views on any proposed schemes are taken into account during consultation on those proposals.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
43. The proposed decision of receiving the report has no financial implications.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
44. The proposed decision of receiving the report has no risks.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
45. AT welcomes input from the Manurewa Local Board to help address the road safety challenge that is generating such a significant burden on road users and their families.
46. Getting aligned with our partners and stakeholders (Local Boards, Councillors, Ministers, Ministry of Transport, New Zealand Transport Agency, New Zealand Police, AA, Walk Auckland, Bike Auckland, to name a few) is imperative for the success of the AT road safety and speed management programme in the Manurewa Local Board area.
47. Raising awareness of the growing road safety issue is a politically charged and sensitive topic, with expectations from some stakeholders that AT should deliver rapid changes to speed limits across Auckland, while others in the community may not like the speed limit reductions and speed calming measures.
48. AT will do this by talking about the unacceptable loss of human life and focus on road safety with our communities, stakeholders and the media.
49. This will include running a publicity awareness campaign followed by a consultation process on the bylaw.
50. Before and during the awareness campaign, AT will engage with its key stakeholders (New Zealand Transport Agency, New Zealand Police and AA) to identify roads that will be affected by the speed limit changes.
51. Once those roads have been identified, they will be added to the Schedule of Speed Limits and drafted into the bylaw.
52. The bylaw will be consulted on Auckland-wide (consultation on the entire programme of works for the Auckland region at a strategic level). Due to the urgent imperative to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries AT will, in many cases, not consult on each individual element of the safety improvement plan.
53. Once the bylaw has been approved by AT’s Board, then the speed limits become legally enforceable.
54. AT aims to change the road safety conversation by educating our audiences about what road safety is all about and that speed always determines the outcome of a crash. For example, it is not just about a new speed limit but also about whether our children can walk and cycle to school and how liveable our streets are, and the many health and environmental benefits that follow from this.

Auckland Transport Update to the Manurewa Local Board – July 2018
File No.: CP2018/12550
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 five active LBTCF proposals underway:
a) The resolution report is being prepared for the final Hillcrest Grove site of the Hill Road pedestrian link project.
b) Construction has been completed on the Wattle Farm pedestrian refuge and footpaths in the immediate area. The project has come in under budget and the cost share with Bupa will be reported to the board.
c) At Te Mahia station, settlement for the purchase of 286 Great South Road occurred on 29 June. The Manurewa Town Centre steering group will now develop options for the site.
d) Work to refurbish and upgrade the Manurewa Town Centre clock began on 3 July 2018 and is expected to be completed in August.
e) At its last meeting, the board approved the purchase and installation of poppy road name blades as part of the Places of Remembrance project. The signs have been ordered.
3. The increased LBTCF funding approved by Auckland Council became available on 1 July 2018. There is now $1,427,148 available for local transport projects in the Manurewa area, which must be allocated by the end of the current political term.
4. At the Manurewa bus/train station, the Exeloos unit has been completed and was handed over on 26 June 2018. For the lighting and CCTV improvements at the Station Road park-and-ride, ducting work is completed and installation is expected to be completed by the end of July 2018.
5. Responses are provided that illustrate Auckland Transport’s support for the Manurewa Local Board’s ‘key initiatives’ as recorded in its 2017 Local Board Plan.
6. Auckland Transport has consulted the Manurewa Local Board on proposed safety improvements at the Redoubt Road/ Murphys Road intersection. The board supported the proposal.
Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s That the Manurewa Local Board: a) receive the report entitled ‘Auckland Transport Update to the Manurewa Local Board – July 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.

Other transport news
Infringement notices for fare evasion on public transport
17. From 18 June, Transport Officers can now issue infringement notices to passengers who fail to tag on with their AT HOP card or buy a ticket to use public transport. Offenders will face infringement fees of $150, or a fine of up to $500 if they choose to go to court rather than pay the infringement fee.
18. Changes to the Land Transport Act provided powers to Transport Officers on Auckland’s public transport network, and regulations that came into force on June 18 now enable the issue of infringement notices.
19. Fare evasion costs Auckland $2-$3 million a year, putting an extra burden on ratepayers and taxpayers – who already subsidise around half the cost of public transport fares.
20. Transport Officers hold a warrant from the Commissioner of Police as enforcement officers. They began working on the train network late last year, and are currently on the Western and Onehunga Lines. As Auckland Transport recruits more staff, they will begin to work on other services as well.
21. More than 90% of people who travel on public transport pay for it with an AT HOP card. Those without an AT HOP card can purchase one at any of Auckland Transport’s customer service centres or at one of the 150 AT HOP retailers around Auckland.
Te reo Māori announcements on Auckland trains
22. The first Auckland train service to have te reo Māori announcements left Britomart Station on 25 June 2018 for Onehunga, and since then all Auckland train services have te reo announcements, which was timed to coincide with Matariki.
23. This is the first stage in the te reo on public transport programme and features the main safety announcements and the beginning and mid-point of the journey. The next stage will include an enhancement of the current messages in te reo throughout the journey.
24. The introduction of Māori language on trains is Auckland Transport’s contribution to Auckland Council’s Māori Language Policy. This policy recognises te reo Māori as a cultural treasure, an official language of New Zealand and our point of difference in the world.
25. The announcements have been recorded by actor and television presenter Miriama Smith.
New Network for the central suburbs
26. On Sunday 8 July 2018, Auckland Transport will be launching a new bus network for Auckland's central suburbs. Most current services will change, including bus routes, route numbers, timetables and some bus stops.
27. These changes are part of a simpler, more frequent and integrated public transport network that is being implemented for the whole of Auckland by the end of 2018, having begun with South Auckland in October 2016.
28. Manurewa residents travelling into the central city by either car or rail and then catching a bus (such as the City, Inner and Outer Link services), will need to check for changes to those routes. The new city centre route map is included as Attachment A.
29. Detailed information including maps and timetables are available on the Auckland Transport website: AT.govt.nz/newnetworkcentral
Safety improvements at Papatoetoe Station
30. Auckland Transport is permanently closing the two pedestrian crossings across the tracks at Papatoetoe Station to make it safer for customers.
31. Auckland Transport is closing pedestrian crossings at stations where a safer alternative can be provided. This is one of many Auckland Transport initiatives to keep people safe, especially school children who regularly cross the tracks at Papatoetoe.
32. A new path is being opened through the park (off Station Road) connecting the existing Park and Ride area to the footbridge entrance adjacent to Station Road. Later in the year, a new stair access will also be put in adjacent to Shirley Road to make it easier to get to the station (see diagram below).
33. To improve access, the existing mobility parking within the carpark has been moved closer to the new footpath. Auckland Transport will also be installing two benches beside the rail station to provide resting areas for people who are heading to the train station. One will be beside Shirley Road and the second next to the footpath beside Station Road.
34. Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board has noted the changes will mean an extra walk for some but has prioritised the safety of residents and children.
35. Papatoetoe will also soon have electronic ticket gates installed, as will Middlemore, Parnell, Papakura and Glen Innes. Electronic gates are already in place at Britomart, Newmarket, New Lynn, Manukau, Henderson, Ōtāhuhu and Manurewa stations.
More Aucklanders choosing active transport
36. According to Auckland Transport’s latest Active Modes Research, 38% of Aucklanders are riding bikes in 2018. That is up three percentage points on last year, with 518,000 Aucklanders now riding regularly or occasionally.
37. People are riding bikes more frequently in west and central Auckland, where infrastructure has improved.
38. Active Modes Research shows:
· 38% of Aucklanders are riding bikes in 2018, up three points on 2017
· 69% of bike riders are stopping to visit shops, cafes and run errands on their way to their destination
· 68% are walking for 10 minutes or more, at least twice a week (the same as 2017) to public transport, the shops or to run errands
· most Aucklanders who take public transport will walk up to 20 minutes to get to a bus, train or ferry – 63% of these trips are less than 15 minutes
· 74% of those walking are motivated by keeping active
· Aucklanders are using their cars less often, with 66% using their cars once a week or more, down three points on 2017.

Auckland Transport Request for Funding for Child Car Restraints - Manurewa
File No.: CP2018/12547
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. The purpose of this report is to seek funding from the Manurewa Local Board’s Community Response Fund for the purchase of child car restraints, to be provided to disadvantaged families identified though Auckland Transport delivered child restraint checkpoints in the Manurewa area.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. Auckland Transport carries out a minimum of 9 child restraint checkpoints per year in the Manurewa area.
3. Auckland Transport previously received donated car seats from Plunket to provide to disadvantaged families identified at checkpoints. Plunket can no longer offer this form of support to the checkpoint programme.
4. Auckland Transport seeks to continue this element of the programme and requests funding of $5000 from the Manurewa Local Board to purchase car seats in support of the child restraint checkpoint programme in the Manurewa area.
5. Support from the Manurewa Local Board is expected to improve the safety of children travelling on roads in the Manurewa Local Board area and is aligned with Manurewa Local Board Plan Outcome 3: Manurewa is well-connected and easy to move around.
Horopaki / Context
6. Auckland Transport’s Community Transport team includes 12 qualified child car restraint technicians who carry out over 65 child car restraint checkpoints per year across the Auckland region. All checkpoints are carried out in conjunction with Plunket and local Police teams.
7. A minimum of 9 child car restraint checkpoints per year are carried out in the Manurewa area.
8. Until recently, Auckland Transport received donated car seats from Plunket to support child car restraint checkpoints and clinics run in Auckland each year. These seats were provided to disadvantaged families with children where either expired, inadequate or no car restraints were available.
9. Plunket has recently chosen to focus on education and advocacy rather than the retail side of selling and hiring car seats, as this was no longer financially viable for the organisation. The car seats that Plunket previously donated at child car restraint checkpoints tended to be ex-hire seats and, as the organisation no longer offers this service, it no longer has a supply of seats to donate.
10. Auckland Transport would like to continue to replace expired or inadequate seats identified during checkpoints as well as provide seats to disadvantaged families that have no child car restraints.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
11. Auckland-wide data shows that over 40% of child car restraints are consistently installed incorrectly and that many families have either incorrect restraints or no restraints available.
12. In the 2017/2018 financial year, 9 checkpoints were programmed in the Manurewa Local Board area. During checkpoints, approximately 277 car seats were checked by trained technicians. Of those, more than 29% had faults or no seat was available. Statistics from the Manurewa area child car restraint checkpoints are included as Attachment A.
13. Auckland Transport is seeking funding from the Manurewa Local Board for the purchase of appropriate car seats to support child car restraint checkpoints and clinics run in the Manurewa area.
14. Two types of car restraints that cover the 0-8 age group are proposed for purchase.
15. Car seats will only be given to families residing in the Manurewa Local Board area; whose car seats are expired or where no seats are available. Any recipients will have to sign for seats, provide contact details, and undertake that the car seats will be not be on-sold.
16. Purchased seats will support the safety of children travelling on roads in the Manurewa Local Board area and contribute to a drop in the rate of death and serious injury crashes.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe / Local impacts and local board views
17. The proposal will improve the safety of children travelling on roads in the Manurewa Local Board area.
18. The Manurewa Local Board has expressed interest in supporting Auckland Transport to deliver a programme that provides approved car seat to disadvantaged families identified at child car restraint checkpoints run in the Manurewa area.
19. Local board members are invited to attend checkpoints undertaken by Auckland Transport in conjunction with Plunket and local Police teams.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
20. Available statistics for the 2017/2018 financial year do not break down into ethnicity, but this data could be captured in upcoming checkpoint surveys if desired.
21. The request for funding to purchase child car restraints would particularly benefit disadvantaged families, including Māori.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
22. There are no financial implications.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
23. Recipients may on-sell donated car seats received at the checkpoint. The form that recipients must sign when receiving a car seat states that this is not permitted.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
24. If funding is approved, Auckland Transport would purchase approved child restraints and its Community Transport team will start to use these seats in support of child car restraint checkpoints in the Manurewa community from July.

File No.: CP2018/10915
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To seek local board approval for the proposed name for the new Local Purpose Reserve (Drainage) Lot 600 DP501081 within the Eugenia Rise Development, Totara Heights, Manurewa.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. Fletcher Living, the developers of the Eugenia Rise Special Housing Area have asked that the Manurewa Local Board approve a proposed name for Lot 600 Local Purpose Reserve (Drainage) within their development.
3. Within this reserve, park and playspace developments have been completed. This is a joint venture involving Fletcher Living, Auckland Council and the Manurewa Local Board.
4. Throughout the development process Fletcher Living has fully engaged with Iwi, Te Ākitai Waiohua on the development and proposed park naming.
5. Te Ākitai Waiohua have recommended to the Manurewa Local Board that the board name this reserve, Ngahau Park.
Horopaki / Context
6. The Eugenia Rise development is a Special Housing Area (SHA) development located adjacent to Eugenia Rise and Calluna Crescent, Totara Heights, Manurewa.
7. Within the development there are four reserves that have been vested with Auckland Council.
8. Lot 600 DP501081 has been vested as a Local Purpose Reserve (Drainage) located on the corner of Eugenia Rise and Matairangi Rd (new road). The reserve provides for both the mitigation of stormwater and has also been developed for informal recreation. The reserve contains new playspace, pathways and landscape elements which are designed to meet the informal recreation needs of new residents within this SHA and visitors.
9. The development of this park was a joint venture between Fletcher Living, Auckland Council and the Manurewa Local Board.
10. Te Ākitai Waiohua have been the Iwi engaged throughout the whole of this development. Te Ākitai Waiohua are proposing to the Manurewa Local Board that this Local Purpose Reserve (Drainage) be named Ngahau Park, the name reflecting the playspace element within this reserve.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
11. The completed park development which includes a playspace of a neighbourhood scale, paths and landscape enhancement will offer informal recreational opportunities to future new residents and visitors to the area. The completed park along with the landscape planting visually enhances this new residential development.
12. Park naming interim guidelines indicate that park names should generally be in accordance with the following criteria:
· tangata whenua values
· a natural feature within a park
· a historical name of the land
· a historical feature or association within the park
· historical or culturally significant individual or event
· or the names of previous land owner of long standing
· the locality.
13. Te Ākitai Waiohua has chosen the Māori name – ‘Ngahau’ for this park which is a generic name depicting the play element within the park. Play is considered by Iwi to be of significant importance within this park development.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te
poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views
14. While the playspace and park development are within a newly developed residential area, this park will add to the overall informal recreational options now available to all Manurewa residents and visitors to the area.
15. The Manurewa Local Board has been an advocate for this joint venture park development and supports the formalising of a name for this new park.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
16. Te Ākitai Waiohua are the Iwi who have been engaged throughout the whole development process of this new SHA area within Manurewa including the establishment of the four specific reserve areas. Iwi have taken an active interest in the development of Lot 600 Local Purpose Reserve (Drainage) which has two key functions:
· stormwater mitigation works that included the planting of New Zealand native flora
· the creation of a neighbourhood park development within this reserve.
17. Te Ākitai Waiohua has recommended to the Manurewa Local Board that this park be named Ngahau Park.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
18. The naming of the park will have no financial implications.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
19. There are specific conditions associated with maintenance that Fletcher Living and Community Facilities staff must fulfil. Staff from the Rima cluster of Community Facilities have completed the necessary handover and are actively managing the maintenance responsibilities.
20. Both parties are committed to ensuring this Local Purpose Reserve is operationally managed and maintained to meet community need. It is therefore determined in the case of this new reserve development, that there are no obvious risks.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
21. It is recommended to the Manurewa Local Board that they formalise the name of this new park as Ngahau Park.

File No.: CP2018/11485
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To seek approval from the Manurewa Local Board for a road name for a new private way in the subdivision at 141 & 147 Russell Road, Manurewa by Punnu Investment Limited.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. Auckland Council has road naming guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming across Auckland.
3. The applicant has submitted the following names for consideration for the new road at
141 & 147 Russell Road, Manurewa:
· Charu Crescent (preferred name)
· Punnu Crescent (alternative)
· Kauri Crescent (alternative)
Horopaki / Context
4. A fourteen-lot residential subdivision of 141 & 147 Russell Road was granted in January 2018 (referenced BUN60303250). The subdivision will be accessed by a new one-way private way with an entry and exit off Russell Road.
5. The applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for the new private way at 141 & 147 Russell Road, Manurewa:
Preference |
Proposed New Road Name |
Meaning |
Preferred Name |
Charu Crescent |
A popular Hindu name meaning beautiful, graceful |
First Alternative |
Punnu Crescent |
A name, meaning creative, versatile |
Second Alternative |
Kauri Crescent |
NZ native tree |
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
6. Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically require that road names reflect:
¾ a historical or ancestral linkage to an area;
¾ a particular landscape, environment or biodiversity theme or feature; or
¾ an existing (or introduced) thematic identity in the area.
7. Land Information New Zealand has confirmed that the names ‘Charu Crescent’ and ‘Punnu Crescent’ are acceptable. However there are a number of ‘Kauri’ road names in Auckland, including Kauri Drive in Takanini. So approval of ‘Kauri’ for this private way is not recommended.
8. The proposed suffix of ‘Crescent’ is deemed acceptable as it accurately describes the characteristics of the private way being a loop off Russell Road.
9. The names proposed by the applicant, Charu Crescent or Punnu Crescent are deemed to meet the road naming guidelines.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
6. Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically require that road names reflect:
¾ a historical or ancestral linkage to an area;
¾ a particular landscape, environment or biodiversity theme or feature; or
¾ an existing (or introduced) thematic identity in the area.
7. Land Information New Zealand has confirmed that the above names are acceptable to use, although it is noted that the name ‘Koiora Street’ has been proposed by a developer of a site in Hingaia and will likely be approved, in which case, ‘Koiora Lane’ will not be acceptable for the private way at 149 Russell Road.
8. The proposed suffix of ‘Lane’ is deemed acceptable as it accurately describes the characteristics of the road.
9. The first two names proposed by the applicant in the table above are deemed to meet the road naming guidelines.

Māori naming of parks and facilities in the Manurewa Local Board area
File No.: CP2018/11793
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To agree the initial scope, priorities and work programme for Te Kete Rukuruku, a Māori naming and storytelling programme, for the Manurewa Local Board.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. Te Kete Rukuruku is a programme involving the collection and telling of the unique stories of Tāmaki Makaurau. A subset of this programme is the Māori naming of parks and facilities which involves the reclamation or identification of new Māori names and narratives across Tāmaki Makaurau.
3. Te Kete Rukuruku is a programme that responds to strong feedback from mana whenua about the current naming practices across the council which are somewhat unpredictable and appear to place low priority and visibility on Māori naming and narratives.
4. The programme also responds to the Auckland Council Māori Language Policy adopted in 2016. Please see Attachment A.
5. Te Kete Rukuruku is a partnership between Auckland Council and the 19 mana whenua of Tāmaki Makaurau. Mana whenua have been actively working on the programme over 2017/2018 and fine tuning the scope including a review of the current state of Māori naming and the methodology for identifying new names and narratives.
6. All local boards were invited to join this programme in 2017. The Manurewa Local Board was one of nine local boards who chose to join the programme. A few more boards are set to join the programme in 2018/2019. The first phase of the programme is focussed on libraries and community parks. This report is specifically seeking direction on the number of local parks to be included within this first phase.
7. Manurewa Local Board has held three workshops over 2017/2018 where the scope of the programme has been discussed and the research showing known history of existing park names has been considered. Of the 154 community parks in Manurewa it is recommended mana whenua are invited to identify a suitable Māori name for the list of community parks identified in Attachment B.
8. It is expected that a follow up report, to confirm the gifted names and narratives will be delivered to the local board, in partnership with mana whenua, in early-2019. Prior to adoption of any of the gifted names, a focussed communications approach will be developed to inform the local community of the project and raise awareness and understanding of the rich Māori history and values in the local board area.
9. Where the local board consider more community engagement is required for specific parks, then this engagement can be developed with the local board and undertaken prior to the proposed Māori names being adopted for specific parks.
Horopaki / Context
Strategic Context
10. Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi) and its broader legal obligations to Māori. The council recognises these responsibilities are distinct from the Crown’s Treaty obligations and fall within an Auckland local government context.
11. These commitments are articulated in the council’s key strategic planning documents – the Auckland Plan, the Long-term Plan, local board plans and the Auckland Unitary Plan.
12. Whakaotinga 5: E manawapā ana tātou ki ō tātou kāinga me ō tātou hapaori (Outcome 5: We treasure our home, our community) within the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2017 states “The whakapapa/history of our area is well-known, protected and celebrated by all.”
13. In responding to the council's commitments and obligations to Māori in a way that will improve outcomes for all, Whiria Te Muka Tangata – The Māori Responsiveness Framework has been developed. Its purpose is to enhance and guide Auckland Council’s responsiveness to Māori. The framework articulates that the council will work to ensure its policies, and its actions consider:
· the recognition and protection of Māori rights and interests within Tāmaki Makaurau
· how to address and contribute to the needs and aspirations of Māori.
14. Auckland Council’s Māori Language Policy was adopted by the Governing Body in 2016. The policy recognises the council’s commitment to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This policy recognises that the Māori language is a cultural treasure and an official language of Aotearoa. It notes that the Māori language and culture forms a critical part of a Māori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world. Reclaiming or identifying new Māori names for community parks within the Manurewa Local Board area provides a significant opportunity to fulfil the policy intent.
15. Key outcome areas of the Māori language policy are:
· Te reo tē kitea - Māori language that is visible
· Te reo tē rongohia - Māori language that is heard
· Te reo tē kōrerohia - Māori language that is spoken
· Te reo tē ākona - Māori language that is learnt.
16. The Māori language policy acknowledges that te reo Māori is an official language of Aotearoa and should receive equal status to English and New Zealand Sign Language.
17. All local boards were consulted on the Māori Language Policy. The Manurewa Local Board’s leadership in choosing to participate in Te Kete Rukuruku, in particular the Māori naming of parks and facilities programme provides the opportunity for the Manurewa Local Board to give effect to the Māori naming policy in a meaningful way within the local board area. To reaffirm this commitment, it is recommended that this policy be adopted by the Manurewa Local Board.
18. Te Kete Rukuruku is a programme involving the collection and telling of the unique stories of Tāmaki Makaurau. A subset of this programme is the Māori naming of parks and facilities which involves the reclamation or identification of new Māori names for parks and facilities across Tāmaki Makaurau.
19. The programme represents a partnership between Auckland Council and the 19 mana whenua of Tāmaki Makaurau.
20. The programme directly responds to the Auckland Council Māori Language Policy adopted in 2016.
21. Local boards are the delegated decision-making authority for naming most community parks and facilities.
Project scope
22. The scope of Te Kete Rukuruku programme, and particularly the Māori naming of parks and facilities, is defined as the naming, renaming or dual naming of parks and facilities throughout Tāmaki Makaurau.
23. The programme recognises there was a rich layer of Māori names that existed across Tāmaki Makaurau. The programme provides an opportunity for Aucklander’s to learn te reo, Māori history and Māori values relevant to places throughout Tāmaki Makaurau.
24. In line with the Māori Language Policy, reclaiming or identifying new Māori names for parks and facilities will have the following benefits:
· accelerate the public visibility of the Māori language as a cultural treasure which is at the heart of Māori identity
· contribute to the Māori language being visible, heard, spoken and learnt
· celebrate and create connections with the rich Māori heritage of Tāmaki Makaurau
· enable or support storytelling and interpretation of place and communities
· provide a practical means for the council to fulfil its commitments and obligations to Māori.
25. It is expected that, in most cases, Māori naming carried out under this project will be in the form of dual naming. Dual naming means that a Māori name is added to the existing name thereby enriching the stories about that place or facility and not taking away from an existing name. For the public this means signs will present both names in an equitable way.
26. Dual naming also means that the Māori name, which is appropriate to the place, is not related in its meaning. In other words, the two names are not translations of each other but independent and unique.
Year one of the programme
27. The first phase of the project is focussed on community parks and libraries. This report focuses on the proposed approach for community parks. A separate report will follow in regard to library names.
28. Options for creating new or dual Māori names for leisure centres and other community facilities will be delivered as part of this programme in later years.
29. The Māori naming project demonstrates a best practice approach for naming in partnership with mana whenua. This practice enables a commitment to a consistent process and a strong relationship between mana whenua and the local boards as decision makers of community parks and facilities.
30. The following aspects are not included in the scope of the Te Kete Rukuruku programme although some of these may be progressed as separate projects parallel or following on from the programme:
· the naming of features or assets within park or facility e.g. bridges and walkways
· English translations of messages within parks and facilities
· capital development
· gazetting of the name via the Geographic Board
· any change to the council brand.
31. The scale of the programme is significant. It is estimated there are 4130 parks and facilities across Tāmaki Makaurau and there are 22 council governance entities and 19 mana whenua governance entities involved in decision making.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
32. Within the Manurewa Local Board area there are a total of 154 parks, of which 4 have an existing Māori name (3%), that is unique to the place. Note: a larger number are named after streets or localities that have a Māori name for example Tuakura Way and Tuakura Reserve. This compares with a regional average of 9% of parks and facilities with a Māori name. A total of 85 parks (55%) in Manurewa are either not named or named after the street.
33. The current approach to Māori naming is (in most cases) to look for opportunities to identify a Māori name as part of capital development works or when acquiring new parks or facilities. This approach (the status quo) is likely to result in no change in percentage or only a few percentage points change in any given year noting that across the region there is a lot of growth and new parks many of which are not being given a Māori name.
34. The current approach to Māori naming is seen by mana whenua as ad hoc and presents the following challenges:
· it is often too late i.e. the naming occurs at the end of a project thereby losing the opportunity to settle the name in hearts and minds of all those involved in the project. The opportunity is also lost for the name to inform the design and development of a place.
· the process is often not clear and mana whenua may select a name only for it to compete with another name suggested from elsewhere in the community. It is difficult and disrespectful to create a process whereby names that are gifted by mana whenua, being the Māori people with mana or authority in an area, to have their names considered as part of a naming competition.
35. The options for moving away from the status quo and supporting local boards to make a transformational shift in the number of Māori names and the associated visibility of te reo Māori and the unique Māori narratives largely relates to the pacing and the supporting processes.
36. An outline of the high-level process for the project is outlined in Attachment C.
37. As this process shows, the number of parks and facilities where mana whenua are invited to gift a name and narrative is at the discretion of the local board.
38. The funding that the local board has already committed to the project has been based on an assumption of between 20-50 names and narratives being identified for each of the nine local boards. However, the level of resourcing required for each site will vary based on the significance of the site and its history.
39. As a general rule it is recommended that the first list of parks or facilities (tranche one) are community parks where the parks are named after a street, not named or are new parks. It is also likely that in adopting new Māori names these will be applied as dual names rather than replacing an existing name although this needs to be assessed on a case by case basis.
40. The Manurewa Local Board has had the opportunity to review the research that is available for all community parks in their rohe (area). Mana whenua have also had this opportunity. This has enabled both parties to understand where there might be greater levels of complexity and also consider their capacity.
41. Based on this review the community parks in Manurewa considered appropriate for inviting mana whenua to identify Māori names for are identified in Attachment B.
42. This would represent a transformational shift in the first phase of the project. A lesser number of parks is also appropriate however a minimum number of 20 parks is recommended to be considered in the first phase in order to achieve a transformational shift. For the reasons outlined in the section on the scope of this project this is anticipated to bring a number of benefits to the community and is recommended over the status quo.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me
ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views
43. Three workshops have been held with the Manurewa Local Board to date.
44. Workshop one, on 29 November 2017, focussed on introducing the project and seeking feedback on the approach.
45. Workshop two, on 11 April 2018, provided an update on the high-level communications approach and provided the local board with the research of the existing park names for review.
46. Workshop three, on 10 May 2018, undertook a more detailed review of the list of parks to assess what the options were for progressing this programme.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
47. As discussed in tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu (the analysis and advice section of the report) the Māori naming of parks and facilities programme is a response to feedback from mana whenua.
48. The proposed programme seeks to develop best practice approach to Māori naming, through an agreed process in partnership between mana whenua and local boards. Through this partnership it is envisaged that relationships between mana whenua and their local boards will be strengthened.
49. The role of providing Māori names in Tāmaki Makaurau rests with mana whenua. That is Māori who have mana and Tāmaki Makaurau is their tūrangawaewae (standing place) and they have whakapapa (a genealogical link) to the place.
50. This programme is expected to provide significant benefits to matawaaka Māori and mataawaka Māori organisations will be engaged and potentially become partners in the communication plan for the programme. The increase in Māori language and stories will enable matawaaka Māori to see and hear their culture and language being used in their community. This is expected to increase their sense of belonging and connection. It is also recognised te reo Māori is in a phase of revitalisation and this programme will play a role in supporting this.
51. Approximately 14 hui have occurred with mana whenua where the issues, opportunities and the scope of the programme have been discussed. Through this, regular engagement with up to 17 of the 19 mana whenua of Tāmaki Makaurau has occurred.
52. As recently as 16 May 2018 this programme was formally and fully supported by 12 of the 19 mana whenua of Tāmaki Makaurau.
53. The project team also provide programme updates to the Independent Māori Statutory Board secretariat on progress.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
54. The Manurewa Local Board participated in this programme in the first year and contributed $10,000. This funded a programme manager, mana whenua engagement, research and database development as well as supporting resources to progress the programme.
55. In the 2018/2019 year and beyond budget estimates have been provided to local boards at a rate of $23,000. The budget funds contract staff to support the local board part of the programme, resourcing mana whenua for their research, names, narratives and project meetings, data base development and some funding for communications.
56. The programme involves the gifting of names and narratives for nominated parks. It does not include any capital expenditure. Any new signage or capital works would occur over a number of years as signage renewals occur or if the local board sets aside budget to fast track upgrades to signage.
57. The project team are working closely with the signage renewals team to align the signage renewals work programme with the adoption of Māori names to enable the names to be seen, heard, learnt and spoken as soon as practicable.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
58. A number of risks and issues have been discussed during the scoping of this programme and most of these have been mitigated through project design.
a. The volume of names and narratives and the capacity to deliver on these. The process to mitigate this is discussed at paragraph 39 and 41.
b. The Māori translation of functional names for facilities such as “park”, “esplanade” or “hall” adds a lot of complexity and could make Māori names quite long. As noted above a principle of the project is that the Māori name will not be a translation of the existing name. There is therefore no need to apply the functional name to the Māori name. However, this has occurred with libraries. It is not expected to happen for community parks but may be considered for other facilities. This will be discussed in future reports as part of the next phase of the programme.
c. Where there are multiple iwi interests there may be no agreement between mana whenua. There are overlapping interests throughout much of Tāmaki Makaurau. In recognition of this, a principle of the project, as agreed by mana whenua, is that mana whenua will work together to provide a single name except where there is more than one traditional name for a site. It is noted that many of the Tūpuna Maunga (volcanic cones) have several traditional names (for example Puketāpapa and Pukewiwi are both gazetted names that sit alongside the English name Mt Roskill), so Auckland Council and the community now have a history of supporting multiple Māori names.
d. Digital naming only won’t gain traction and names will be lost. It may take some time for the names to be ‘seen’ through signage renewals. As an interim measure a GIS database and web page is in development that can be easily searched. It will provide information on the origin of the existing name and the Māori name and narrative. The communications strategy will promote the website and database so that the community can have access to it. It will also look to celebrate new names through publications, events and other means. It is noted that many of the Tūpuna Maunga have Māori names that are not yet all on signs in yet through the work of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority, media and events the Māori names have been widely used.
e. Navigation confusion / way finding – this is a potential or perceived risk but given the significant growth in Auckland and the number of new names popping up on a regular basis the placement of names in GIS and other digital forums as well as an effective communication plan is expected to mitigate any actual or perceived risk.
f. Some local boards have had negative experiences with changing the names of parks within their local area. In response to this concern the programme includes a research phase to ensure the origins of the existing names are well understood. Where current names have a significant history, they are not included in the first phase. In addition, the predominant outcome is going to be the addition of names and associated rich narratives and will not involve the removal of names. Where it is considered appropriate to replace a name the board will also need to carefully consider who the affected parties are and determine if community engagement is appropriate. In all other cases we are proposing that a strong public communications approach be adopted to enable the community to understand the process and enjoy the benefits of the additional name and narrative.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
59. The list of parks that is endorsed by the Manurewa Local Board will be provided to mana whenua inviting them to gift names and narratives.
60. Those mana whenua with an interest in these parks will undertake research and, where necessary, will work together to agree a single name and narrative to be gifted to the local board.
61. In parallel with the mana whenua naming process, the project team will work closely with local board communications team and local board engagement advisors to develop a tailored communications plan for the local board area.
62. The project team will also continue to work closely with the signage renewals delivery team to seek opportunities for new Māori names to be part of signage renewals.
63. The decision as to dual naming or replacing names with a Māori name does not need to occur until the names and narratives are gifted by mana whenua and first considered by the local board. It is proposed that this occur at a non-decision-making meeting. At this time the local board can consider the option of dual naming or not and also consider if the proposed naming is likely to trigger the need for community engagement.
64. Dual naming is expected to make up the largest number of new Māori names and, in general, it is expected that an effective communications programme to inform the community of the new names and narratives will be the appropriate approach.
65. A report to confirm the gifted names and narratives and communications approach or consider an engagement programme is anticipated early 2019.

|
Horopaki / Context
7. Community facilities and open spaces provide important community services to the people of Auckland. They contribute to building strong, healthy, and vibrant communities by providing spaces where Aucklanders can participate in a wide range of social, cultural, art, and recreational activities. These activities improve lifestyles and a sense of belonging and pride amongst residents.
8. The 2018/2019 Community Facilities Work Programme detailed in the attachments contains information on all proposed projects to be delivered by Community Facilities, including capital works projects, leasing and operational maintenance.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
Capital works programme
9. Investment in the capital programme will ensure that council facilities and parks open spaces in the Manurewa Local Board area remain valuable and well-maintained community assets that continue to meet the agreed levels of service. Asset-based services capital works includes Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI), renewals and growth and development projects.

Limited discretion – must be allocated to the specific project. Local board discretion on scope and design of project within available budget. |
Limited discretion – must be allocated to the specific project for the purpose of protecting our coastal assets. Please note that coastal renewals projects are allocated regionally. |
10. The 2018/2019 Community Facilities Work Programme has been created following a series of workshops with elected members from October 2017 to May 2018. All feedback gathered from the workshops has been taken into consideration throughout the process. The proposed work programme in Attachment A contains:
· Number of activity lines: 32
· Indicative cost for proposed projects: $7,335,439.
Leasing work programme
11. Community leases are a valuable way in which the council provides support to community organisations across the region, commonly on public parks and reserves. These groups provide a wide range of community activities and services aligned with recognised local priorities and are a key part of the mosaic of community activity and infrastructure in Auckland.
12. The draft work programme provides a detailed list of the community leases and licences that will expire or are due for renewal over the 2018/2019 financial year. It also includes the additional leases and licences that will be deferred from the 2017/2018 financial year to the 2018/2019 financial year.
13. Once the 2018/2019 Community Facilities Work Programme is approved, staff will be able to consolidate reporting on routine matters or use the streamlined process for straight forward renewals without variations whilst focusing attention on those community leases that are more complex.
Operational maintenance work programme
14. The regular maintenance of all council-owned built and open space assets plays an important part in:
· increasing the long-term durability of Community Facilities assets
· improving the safety of Community Facilities assets
· ensuring the enjoyment of Community Facilities assets by the users.
15. Community Facilities launched ‘Project 17’ in July 2017 which created new bundled maintenance contracts across the Auckland region for full facility, ecological restoration and arboriculture maintenance contracts. The Finance and Performance Committee approved these contracts on 30 March 2017.
16. In the 2018/2019 Community Facilities Work Programme, there are three line-items dedicated to all maintenance in the local board area:
· Full Facilities Maintenance Contracts – These contracts include all buildings, parks and open space assets, sports fields, coastal management and storm damage
· Arboriculture Maintenance Contracts – These contracts include all tree management and maintenance
· Ecological
Restoration Maintenance Contracts – These contracts include pest plant
and animal pest management within ecologically significant parks and reserves.
17. Staff will be able to provide regular reporting on maintenance through monthly updates to the local boards and through the quarterly report. Community Facilities is also providing additional weekly updates to all elected members on contractor performance.

Local impacts and local board views
18. The Community Facilities Work Programme has been created through a combination of local board feedback, asset condition assessments and agreed levels of service.
19. The draft 2018/2019 Community Facilities Work Programme has been considered by the local board in a series of workshops from October 2017 to May 2018. The views expressed by local board members during the workshop have been adopted in the attached work programmes.
20. The Community Facilities work programme supports the achievement of the following 2017 Manurewa Local Board Plan priorities:
· Manurewa is well-connected and easy to move around
· Our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community
· People in Manurewa are actively connecting everywhere, every day
· We treasure our home, our community.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
21. The 2018/2019 Community Facilities Work Programme ensures that all facilities and open space assets continue to be well-maintained assets that benefit the local community, including Māori. Where any aspects of the proposed work programme are anticipated to have a significant impact on sites of importance to mana whenua then appropriate engagement will be undertaken.
22. Staff are also attending mana whenua fora on a monthly basis to receive feedback on the 2018/2019 Community Facilities Work Programme.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
23. The proposed 2018/2019 Community Facilities work programme will see the allocation of $90,000 of the board’s locally driven initiatives capital budget, $4,159,500 of the board’s asset based services capital budget, and $3,085,939 of the board’s asset based operational budget. These amounts can be accommodated within the board’s total draft budget for 2018/2019. As such, the board’s approval will not have significant financial implications unless projects experience a significant overspend or underspend. Regular updates on projects will be provided to the board tracking expenditure and identifying any projects at risk of non-delivery, over or underspend.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
24. If the proposed Community Facilities work programme is not approved at the business meeting, there is a risk that the proposed projects may not be able to be delivered within the 2018/2019 financial year.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
25. The work programme will be implemented as part of Community Facilities usual business practice.
26. Work programme implementation will be reported regularly by the Stakeholder Advisor and quarterly through the performance report to the local board.

Manurewa Local Board Review of Work Stream allocations for the 2016 – 2019 Triennium
File No.: CP2018/11533
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To appoint the work stream allocations and the accompanying roles and responsibilities for the Manurewa Local Board for the remainder of the 2016-2019 triennium.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. The Manurewa Local Board developed a set of work streams for the current electoral term (2016-2019) and adopted the work streams and the roles and responsibilities for the work stream lead and the work stream members at the 20 April 2017 business meeting.
3. Since then, Manurewa has had a by-election and Dave Pizzini was elected to the local board. This change presented an opportunity to review the work streams and respective member allocations.
4. It is recommended that the local board adopts revised work streams, their respective allocations, and the roles and responsibilities for the work stream lead and the work stream members for the remainder of the 2016-2019 triennium.
Horopaki / Context
5. In the 2013-2016 electoral term the Manurewa Local Board established ‘portfolios’ which included the appointment of members to lead or oversee work streams and meet regularly with council staff to ensure delivery on priorities as set out in the local board plan and the underlying work programmes.
6. There was a variety of practice around portfolios across local boards. In preparation for the new electoral term, the Local Board Services Department undertook a review of ways of working and as a result suggested the establishment of work streams which directly align with the activities in the work programme.
7. The Manurewa Local Board adopted work stream leads at the 20 April 2017 business meeting. Since then, Manurewa has had a by-election and Dave Pizzini was elected to the local board. This change presented an opportunity to review and refine the work streams and respective member allocations.
8. The current proposal is based on further work that has been undertaken and has been discussed at three local board workshops on 12 April 2018, 13 June 2018 and 28 June 2018. Members indicated their support for the review and provided input into the revised allocations. It is recommended that this new way of working be adopted for the remainder of the 2016-2019 triennium.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
How the work streams operate
9. All local board business goes through workshops to enable collective direction setting with subsequent formal decision making occurring at business meetings. This approach follows significant improvements in the way that work programmes are prepared and reported to local boards, and the quarterly reporting that directly reflects progress on each work programme item.
10. Work streams are an additional mechanism for local board involvement in local projects and services, regional policy and strategy, increasing opportunities for monitoring progress, identifying problems, and seeking remedies and should not replace:
· decision making at business meetings; or
· consultation and engagement with the public and community organisations which all members should be involved in and aware of.
11. Programmes, projects and ideas being progressed by work stream members will be reported to the full board through workshops enabling all board members to have the opportunity to provide input. It is envisaged that meetings between work stream members and staff are focused on specific objectives.
12. In addition to work streams, there might be key projects that require additional support directly with staff for set periods of time. Current projects have been included in the Manurewa Local Board work stream allocations and responsibilities table.
13. With regards to the operational support for work streams, the following process is proposed:
· there is considerable informality in the setting of agendas for any work stream meetings. Both work stream members and staff are able to put items on the agenda for discussion
· agendas for all work stream meetings will be circulated to all board members for their information
· work stream meetings will be chaired by the allocated work stream members or lead
· both the work stream lead and the allocated work stream members can require relevant issues be brought to the full board initially at a workshop or via a memo
· Local Board Services staff will be available to support members in meetings with other council staff and external stakeholders where possible and appropriate
· concise, relevant notes will be taken at the meetings by staff, which will be made available, together with any other supporting material provided at the meeting, to all members within five working days after the meeting. Such information is to be treated as ‘not for publication’ as it is often in a preliminary format and may be substantially revised before it appears in the public domain on a board agenda.
Role of the work stream lead
14. The work stream lead’s focus is to act as champion, sounding board and driver for the work stream. The role and responsibilities of the work stream lead can therefore be described as follows:
· provide work programme oversight for the board approved work programme within the area of responsibility
· initiate and drive the development of new ideas and initiatives for inclusion in future work programmes related to the area of responsibility
· provide policy leadership, for instance by leading the development of local board feedback and submissions and oversight of governing body committee activities relevant to the area of responsibility (including review of agenda papers and attendance at meetings where desirable)
· act as a sounding board and first point of contact for council staff on matters related to the area of responsibility
· serve as an advocate for matters related to the area of responsibility, for instance by bringing matters to the attention of the full board
· attend regional and local board seminars/workshops on topics and projects related to the area of responsibility
· be a point of contact for the community on matters related to the area of responsibility.
Role of the allocated work stream members
15. In addition to the work stream lead, each work stream will have several members working together to support the work within the work stream. The focus for the work stream members is to act as champions and leads for their respective allocated responsibility area and provide support to the work stream lead. The role and responsibilities of the allocated work stream members can therefore be described as follows:
· provide work programme oversight for the board approved work programme within the area of responsibility
· support the development of new ideas and initiatives for inclusion in future work programmes related to the area of responsibility
· provide policy leadership, for instance by leading the development of local board feedback and submissions and oversight of governing body committee activities relevant to the area of responsibility (including review of agenda papers and attendance at meetings where desirable)
· serve as an advocate for matters related to the area of responsibility, for instance by bringing matters to the attention of the full board
· attend regional and local board seminars/workshops on topics and projects related to the area of responsibility.
16. In addition to the above, allocated work stream members are expected to act for and perform the role and responsibilities of the work stream lead in his or her absence.
17. The important consideration for members is that they are appointed to be the local board representative on a particular area – they represent the views of the board (not their own views or personal preferences) to give direction to staff. If a work stream lead or member does not know what the board view is on a particular issue, they will need to discuss the issue with the local board chairperson to see if general advice can be given. If not, it may be necessary to refer that issue to a workshop for a full board discussion.

poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views
18. Local board impacts and views have been sought and given at workshops with staff on 12 April 2018, 13 June 2018 and 28 June 2018. These views are reflected in the recommendations contained in this report.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
19. This report provides an overview of the Manurewa Local Board work streams and sets out the responsibilities within each area. The allocated work stream leads and members have oversight of and responsibility for various topics including the consideration of Māori impacts. The visible identification of members roles and responsibilities also enables mana whenua and matawaaka Māori to approach appropriate local board members as necessary.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
20. There are no financial implications as work streams should be treated as an additional mechanism for local board involvement in local projects and services, regional policy and strategy, increasing opportunities for monitoring progress, identifying problems, and seeking remedies and should not replace decision making at business meetings.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
21. There are no risks associated with this report.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
22. Local Board Services staff will advise the respective departmental staff responsible for the various work programmes of the revised member leads and allocations.

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

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 10 July 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
10. This report is an information report providing the governance forward work programme for the next six months.
