3 Declaration of Interest

Members are reminded of the need to be vigilant to stand aside from decision making when a conflict arises between their role as a member and any private or other external interest they might have.

The Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members (the Code) requires elected members to fully acquaint themselves with, and strictly adhere to, the provisions of Auckland Council’s Conflicts of Interest Policy. The policy covers two classes of conflict of interest:

i.A financial conflict of interest, which is one where a decision or act of the local board could reasonably give rise to an expectation of financial gain or loss to an elected member; and

ii.A non-financial conflict interest, which does not have a direct personal financial component. It may arise, for example, from a personal relationship, or involvement with a non-profit organisation, or from conduct that indicates prejudice or predetermination.

The Office of the Auditor General has produced guidelines to help elected members understand the requirements of the Local Authority (Member’s Interest) Act 1968. The guidelines discuss both types of conflicts in more detail, and provide elected members with practical examples and advice around when they may (or may not) have a conflict of interest.

Copies of both the Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members and the Office of the Auditor General guidelines are available for inspection by members upon request.

Any questions relating to the Code or the guidelines may be directed to the Relationship Manager in the first instance.

4 Confirmation of Minutes

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a) confirm the ordinary minutes of its meeting, held on Thursday, 21 June 2018, as a true and correct record.

5 Leave of Absence

At the close of the agenda no requests for leave of absence had been received.

6 Acknowledgements

At the close of the agenda no requests for acknowledgements had been received.

7 Petitions

At the close of the agenda no requests to present petitions had been received.

8 Deputations

Standing Order 7.7 provides for deputations. Those applying for deputations are required to give seven working days notice of subject matter and applications are approved by the Chairperson of the Upper Harbour Local Board. This means that details relating to deputations can be included in the published agenda. Total speaking time per deputation is ten minutes or as resolved by the meeting.

At the close of the agenda no requests for deputations had been received.

9 Public Forum

A period of time (approximately 30 minutes) is set aside for members of the public to address the meeting on matters within its delegated authority. A maximum of 3 minutes per item is allowed, following which there may be questions from members.

At the close of the agenda no requests for public forum had been received.

10 Extraordinary Business

Section 46A(7) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (as amended) states:

(b) The presiding member explains at the meeting, at a time when it is open to the public,-

(i) The reason why the item is not on the agenda; and

(ii) The reason why the discussion of the item cannot be delayed until a subsequent meeting.”

Section 46A(7A) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (as amended) states:

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. The Community Facilities department is responsible for building, maintaining and renewing all open spaces and community buildings. This includes the community leasing and licensing of council-owned premises.

3. The 2018/2019 Upper Harbour Local Board Community Facilities work programme was developed using a combination of local board feedback, staff assessments of assets and key stakeholder input.

4. The following indicative costs have been identified in the Upper Harbour Local Board 2018/2019 Community Facilities work programme:

· $3,294,399 of asset-based services (ABS) capital funding

· $4,289,420 of asset-based services (ABS) operational budget

· $220,000 of locally driven initiatives (LDI) capital funding

· $28,000 of locally driven initiatives (LDI) operational funding.

5. The work programme has been developed through a series of iterative workshops between key staff and local boards since October 2017. The programme provided in Attachments A and B reflect the agreed projects that were presented in the last local board workshop in May 2018. This report recommends that the local board approves the 2018/2019 Community Facilities work programme and associated budgets.

6. Once approved by the Upper Harbour Local Board, new work will commence from July 2018. Regular updates on the line items will be provided by Community Facilities stakeholder advisors.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a) approve the 2018/2019 Upper Harbour Local Board Community Facilities work programme, as detailed in Attachments A and B to the agenda report.

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 Upper Harbour Local Board area continue to meet the agreed levels of service and remain valuable and well-maintained community assets. ABS capital works include LDI renewals, and growth and development projects.

	Locally driven initiative	Renewal	Growth and development	Coastal renewals
Basis for amount of budget allocated to each local board	As per the local board funding policy: · 90% population · 5% deprivation · 5% land area	In proportion to assets in very poor and poor condition requiring renewal, limited to funding available	To specific projects identified as priority projects to meet the needs of new and future residents	To specific projects identified as priorities by the coastal specialist team
Type of projects that can be paid for	Any projects that deliver a council-owned asset or as a capital grant to an asset made available for public use	Renewal of existing assets on a ‘like-for-like’ basis, taking into account current service standards, where applicable	Development budgets are used for specific projects approved by the Governing Body. Growth budgets can only be used for specific projects that are required by, and benefit, new and future residents	Renewal and enhancement of, existing coastal structures, where required
Degree of local board discretion on allocation to projects	Full discretion	Broad discretion - can be allocated to any renewal project	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. Note that coastal renewals projects are allocated regionally

10. The 2018/2019 Community Facilities work programme has been created as a result of a series of workshops with elected members from October 2017 to May 2018. All feedback gathered from the workshops has been considered throughout the process. The proposed work programme in Attachment A contains:

· the number of projects: 26

· indicative cost for proposed projects: $7,831,819.

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 straightforward renewals without variations, while 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, the following line items are dedicated to all maintenance in the local board area:

· full facilities maintenance contracts – includes all buildings, parks and open space assets, sports fields, coastal management and storm damage

· arboriculture maintenance contracts – includes all tree management and maintenance

· ecological restoration maintenance contracts – includes pest plants and animal pest management within ecologically significant parks and reserves.

17. Staff will provide regular reporting on maintenance through monthly updates to the local board and through the quarterly report. Community Facilities is also providing additional weekly updates to all elected members on contractor performance.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe / 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 achievement of the following Upper Harbour Local Board Plan 2017 priorities:

· ‘our environment is valued, protected and enhanced’

· ‘healthy and active communities’

· ‘efficient and effective transport links’

· ‘empowered, engaged and connected Upper Harbour communities’.

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, appropriate engagement will then be undertaken.

22. Staff are also attending a monthly mana whenua forum 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 $220,000 of the local board’s LDI capital budget, $28,000 of the local board’s LDI operational budget, $3,294,399 of the ABS capital budget, and $4,289,420 of the ABS operational budget. These amounts can be accommodated within the total draft budget for 2018/2019. As such, the local board’s approval will not have significant financial implications, unless projects experience a significant overspend or underspend.

24. Regular updates on projects will be provided to the local board to track expenditure and identify any projects at risk of non-delivery, over or underspend.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

25. 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

26. The work programme will be implemented as part of Community Facilities usual business practice.

27. Work programme implementation will be reported regularly by stakeholder advisors, and quarterly reporting will be provided through the performance report to the local board.

Horopaki / Context

8. At a workshop on 7 June 2018, the local board expressed their desire to identify the naming for the Albany Community Hub and House, the Headquarters and theSunderland Lounge.

9. The board requested to formalise the preferred naming of the above three community facilities. The local board indicated their preference to name the bookable rooms at the Albany Community Hub and House after apple varieties associated with Albany’s orchard history; and at the Headquarters and the Sunderland Lounge after RNZAF aircraft associated with Hobsonville Point’s history.

10. On 15 February 2018, the local board agreed that the Headquarters and the Sunderland Lounge be combined into one precinct (UH/2018/12).

11. The Headquarters has under gone extensive refurbishment and opened for community use in June 2018.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

Albany Community Hub & House Facility Naming

12. Staff have worked with Ngāti Manuhiri to identify the name for the main building (whare) as Te Hākaiaraara, and the following name for the combined precinct of the hub and house, as Te Pokapū ā-Hapori o Ōkahukura. (translated as Albany ‘Ōkahukura’ Community ‘Hapori’ Hub ‘Te Pokapū’).

13. The name Te Hākaiaraara has significance to the area and to the people of Ngāti Manuhiri. The narrative behind the name is:

“Te Hākaiaraara was a Rangatira (chief) from the Albany area, and a grandson to Manuhiri the paramount chief of the Mahurangi, and the nephew of Manuhiri’s brother Maraeariki, who both reigned over the Albany area. Te Hākaiaraara fought many battles and even ventured as far as the off-shore islands of Aotea Great Barrier and repelled challenges to his mana and leadership”.

Albany Community Hub and House Room Naming

14. Albany has a rich farming history and was noted for its fruit growing which was an important local industry. Farming innovations and new fruit varieties, including the Albany Beauty apple and Albany Surprise grape, were cultivated here. Strawberry farming was also popular in Albany, particularly around Bush Road where there were many strawberry beds and orchards.

15. Mark Phillips, the son of Matthew Phillips who settled in Albany in 1856, is credited with the discovery of the Albany Beauty apple in about 1900, at his family orchard in Gills Road. The cultivation of fruit in the Albany area resulted in the establishment of the Albany Fruitgrowers’ Association. The Albany Surprise grape was, for decades, the most widely grown table grape in New Zealand.

16. Staff recommend the following themed room names for the Albany Community Hub and House that capture the local fruit growing history of Albany, in particular the orchard industry, by referencing apple varieties:

Location	Proposed Room Name
Albany Hub - Main Hall	Fruit Growers
Albany Hub - Meeting Room 1	The Albany Beauty
Albany Hub - Meeting Room 2	(Name to be identified)
Albany Hub - Consultation Room	(Name to be identified)
Albany House - Main Hall	The Albany House

Headquarters and Sunderland Lounge Facility Naming

17. The Headquarters and the Sunderland Lounge were both formerly occupied by the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF), and were acquired by Auckland Council in 2014 for community use purposes.

18. The local board have expressed a desire to name the rooms at the Headquarters and the Sunderland Lounge after former RNZAF aircraft associated with the area.

19. The Headquarters is currently referred to by several names including: ‘The Headquarters Building; Hobsonville Community Hub, ‘HQ’; Hobsonville Point Community Hub, and Headquarters. A definitive, formalised name for future referencing of the building is therefore needed.

20. Staff recommend working with Te Kawerau a Maki, through Te Waka Anga Mua ki Uta, to capture a dual name for the Headquarters and the Sunderland Lounge, to be approved by the board at a future business meeting.

Headquarters and Sunderland Lounge Room Naming

21. The Headquarters has six rooms that will be available for bookings by local communities.

22. Rooms 3 and 4 and rooms 5 and 6 respectively can operate as a combined space of two rooms or separated rooms by a folding wall.

23. It has been proposed by the board that, individual rooms be named after aircraft and combined rooms be referred to by the manufacturers name.

24. The aircraft options presented at the workshop on 7 June 2018, have since been verified for accuracy by RNZAF. Some amendments have been made to the original options presented at the workshop to reflect known aircraft that flew from Hobsonville Point (Attachment A).

25. The table below provides an overview of key RNZAF aircraft, which is in line with the boards aspirations to capture the character of the building and its past Air Force history:

Proposed Names for Headquarters Rooms

Aircraft	Current Name	Proposed Room Name
Catalina	Room 1	Catalina
Blackburn Baffin	Room 2	Baffin
de Havilland Tiger Moth	Room 3	Tiger Moth
de Havilland Gypsy Moth	Room 4	Gypsy Moth
de Havilland	Room 3 & 4: as one bookable space	de Havilland
Bell Iroquois	Room 5	Iroquois
Bell Sioux	Room 6	Sioux
Bell	Room 5 & 6: as one bookable space	Bell

Proposed Names for Sunderland Lounge Rooms

Aircraft	Current Name	Proposed Room Name
Short Sunderland	Main Hall	Sunderland
Airspeed Oxford	Side room 1	Oxford
Supermarine Walrus	Side room 2 (proposed under concept drawings for refurbishment)	Walrus

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

26. At the 7 June 2018 workshop, the local board were supportive of the proposed naming options presented in this report.

27. The Upper Harbour Local Board Plan 2017 states the board’s commitment to empower, engage and connect Upper Harbour communities that are healthy and active, a thriving local economy, efficient and effective transport links, and an environment that is valued, protected and enhanced.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

28. Through the Māori Language Policy 2016, Council is committed to the Māori Language being seen, heard, spoken and learnt throughout Tāmaki Makaurau.

29. The Albany area, where the Albany Community Hub and House are located, is significant to Ngāti Manuhiri with whom the Upper Harbour Local Board signed a relationship agreement on 13 December 2017, signaling future intent. The Hobsonville Point Peninsula, where the Headquarters and the Sunderland Lounge are located, is significant to Te Kawerau a Maki.

30. The refurbishment of the Albany Community Hub and the Headquarters provides an opportunity for the local board to reflect on Māori identity and culture within the presentation, activations, engagement and naming of such important community assets.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

31. Operational budget will be used to fund internal and external signage associated with naming of these buildings.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

32. Name association, both in terms of facilities and rooms, adds to the cultural fabric, identity and connection of place. If no decision is reached, the potential risk is that these facilities will continue to be referred to by the community by a range of interim names.

33. Potential booking confusion to both the users and operators of these facilities may also arise without a clear decision being made regarding the naming of the rooms.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

34. Staff will progress internal and external signage for the Albany Community Hub, the Headquarters and the Sunderland Lounge.

35. Progress will be reported back to the board in a timely manner through workshop updates from staff, as required.

14. New Network highlights include:

· Four new, frequent bus routes at least every 15 minutes, 7 days a week

· Three Northern Busway services

· New services to local destinations

15. North Shore households will receive a brochure detailing the changes in early September. A series of public information events will be held to assist public transport users.
