Waiheke Area Plan working party – appointment of local board members
File No.: CP2018/11522
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To appoint members of the Waiheke Local Board to the Waiheke Area Plan Working Party.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. Planning Committee resolution PLA2018/63 includes a directive for the establishment of a working party to oversee the preparation of the Waiheke Area Plan. The working party will comprise members of the local board, the Waitematā and Gulf Ward Councillor and a representative from the Independent Māori Statutory Board.
3. This report recommends that the local board appoint all five board members to the working party.
Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation That the Waiheke Local Board: a) appoint all local board members to the Waiheke Local Area Plan working party.
|
Horopaki / Context
4. Previous discussions with the Waiheke Local Board have considered options for the process of incorporating the Hauraki Gulf Islands into the Auckland Unitary Plan. These discussions have resulted in a local resolution (WHK/2018/51) (Attachment A) to support a two-stage process. Stage 1 being the development of an area plan for Waiheke Island. Stage 2 will be a plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan, informed by the area plan.
5. The two-stage approach was subsequently reported to and approved by the Planning Committee at its 5 June 2018 meeting. The resolution is attached as Attachment B.
6. Clause (b) of the resolution gives a directive for the establishment of working parties (one for Waiheke local board area and one for the Great Barrier local board area) to oversee the preparation of each area plan.
7. Each working party is to be comprised of:
• members of the relevant Local Board
• Waitematā and Gulf Ward Councillor
• a representative of the Independent Māori Statutory Board.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
8. The appointment of all local board members is considered to be an effective and efficient use of resources for the following reasons:
· the working party will have direct access to all local board members local knowledge and practical insights
· meetings, workshops and reporting to the working party replaces the need for the same information to be re-reported to the local board
· a working party of seven members (including five local board members) is a practical size and knowledge base to drawn on
· flexibility for members to be absent for other duties, without having to specifically arrange alternative members.
9. The alternative of appointing a lesser number of board members requires less resource, however additional work will be delegated to the representatives in the form of:
· acquiring knowledge of other local board members
· regularly liaising with the non-working party local board members, so their views are understood and expressed.

Local impacts and local board views
10. The views of the Waiheke Local Board will be integral to the development of the Waiheke Area Plan.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
11. The area plan process will involve full consultation with relevant iwi groups.
12. A key role of the Independent Māori Statutory Board is to advance the interests of Māori. A member of the Independent Māori Statutory Board will be appointed to the Waiheke Area Plan Working Party.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
13. Plans and Places three-year placed based spatial planning programme identifies Waiheke Planning Review in years two and three (2018/19 and 2019/20) and can be covered by departmental budgets for those years. The area plan is timed for completed by September 2019.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
14. No significant risks arise from this decision.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
15. Once the working party is appointed, staff will organise a workshop with the working party to initiate the project and determine the frequency of working party meetings.

Funding the Preparation of a Lightscape Management Plan for Waiheke
File No.: CP2018/12881
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To approve the allocation of funding for the preparation of the Lightscape Management Plan.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. This report provides information to support the local board approving the allocation of $15,000 in the 2018/19 Locally Driven Initiative (LDI) opex budget for the Lightscape Management Plan.
3. The Lightscape Management Plan will support the board’s proposed application for Dark Sky accreditation and future changes to lighting provisions of the Auckland Unitary Plan to manage lighting standards on Waiheke.
4. This work aligns with the Waiheke Local Board Plan 2017 outcome that ‘Waiheke’s environment is treasured and the key initiative to protect the night skies’. It also addresses concerns at increasing light pollution on Waiheke. It is a matter that can be further explored in the Waiheke Area Plan, currently being developed by Plans and Places, together with the local board.
5. The Plans and Places Department will coordinate delivery of this project for the local board and develop the plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan.
that the Waiheke Local Board: a) approve the allocation of $15,000.00 in the Locally Driven Initiative Opex for the preparation of the Lightscape Management Plan for Waiheke, to be coordinated by the Plans and Places Department in 2018/19. |
Horopaki / Context
6. The protection of the Waiheke night skies for present and future generations is a key local board initiative that aligns with the following local board plan outcome:
· Waiheke’s environment is treasured
7. In February 2018, the local board reconfirmed its commitment to this initiative and:
· agreed to apply for accreditation by the International Dark Sky Association
· agreed to work with the Waiheke Dark Sky Team
· recommended that Auckland Council support and assist to improve lighting policies through the forthcoming district plan review
· delegated board member, Shirin Brown, to be the key point of contact with the Waiheke Dark Sky Team (see Attachment A for membership);
8. A full copy of resolution WHK/2018/50 is provided as Attachment A. [Please note that while the resolution refers to a district plan review, the process is a plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan].
9. The local position aligns with the concerns raised in ‘Essentially Waiheke Refresh 2016’ (the community strategic framework) at the growing light pollution on the island.
10. Increasing community interest and support is evident in the popularity of recent night sky events held on the island and the take up of educational opportunities to learn about the night sky.
11. Work on the development of an area plan for Waiheke has now commenced. This will set out a 30 year strategy to manage change, setting out key moves, desired outcomes and supporting actions. It will also provide high level direction to inform the forthcoming plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan to include the Hauraki Gulf Islands. It is likely the area plan will recommend actions to support the protection of the night sky including the development of specific lighting standards in the Auckland Unitary Plan.
12. The Waiheke Dark Sky Team is preparing the technical material for the International Dark Sky accreditation to have Waiheke declared a dark sky sanctuary. The team has recommended that the local board prepare the Lightscape Management Plan for Waiheke as the next step in the process.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
13. In order to advance the application for Dark Sky accreditation, provision has been made in the local board 2018/19 budget for the preparation of the Lightscape Management Plan to be coordinated by the Plans and Places Department.
14. This plan will set out good light practices and standards as prescribed by the International Dark Sky Association. The plan would then inform the lighting provisions in a plan change incorporating the Hauraki Gulf Islands into the Auckland Unitary Plan.
15. It is estimated that a budget of $15,000.00 should be set aside in the local board’s 2018/19 LDI Opex budget.
16. This would provide for approximately 60 hours work based on an hourly rate of $225-$250 per hour. A possible work programme could include:
· briefing by Plans and Places and the Waiheke Dark Sky Team
· a site visit to view the various lighting types in use
· development of a draft management plan
· responding to comments from Plans and Places, the local board and the Waiheke Dark Sky Team
· completion
of the final management plan.
This will be scoped out in more detail later in the year.

Local impacts and local board views
17. The project described above supports the local board’s work to achieve outcomes set out in the Waiheke Local Board Plan 2017.
18. The local board has made provision for the Lightscape Management Plan in its draft 2018/19 work programme.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
19. This report provides information for a local planning and development project. It is recognised that planning and development (including protection of the night sky) has integral links with activities of interest to Māori. The stories of celestial navigation such as the Kupe voyages and the great fleet migration are fundamental to Māori culture.
20. The night sky forms a part of our kaitiakitanga/environmental stewardship responsibility and an integral part of our life awareness and enjoyment values.
21. This project will require participation, contribution and consultation with iwi.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
22. Subject to approval, this project will be completed in the 2018/19 financial year.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
23. In order to continue the successful delivery of the Lightscape Management Plan, it is recommended that the Plans and Places Department continue to coordinate the delivery of this project.
24. Without funding, the achievement of long term protection of the night skies above Waiheke Island is limited.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
25. Subject to approval, the Lightscape Management Plan will be commissioned in the 2018/19 financial year. Reporting to the local board will continue on a regular basis, along with contributions to the local board’s quarterly performance report.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation That the Waiheke Local Board: a) approve the Waiheke Local Board 2018/2019 Community Facilities Work Programme as detailed in Attachment A. |
Horopaki / Context
7. Community facilities and open spaces provide important community services to the people of the Waiheke Local Board area. They contribute to building strong, healthy, and vibrant communities by providing spaces where residents and visitors 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 Attachment A 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
9. Investment in the capital programme will ensure that council facilities and parks open spaces in the Waiheke 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.

*excluding Waiheke Island
10. The amount of budget available for locally driven initiatives on Waiheke Island is determined by:
a) fees and charges collected from locally driven initiatives

11. The 2018/2019 Community Facilities Work Programme has been created following a series of workshops with the elected members from October 2017 to May 2018. All feedback gathered from the workshops have been taken into consideration throughout the process. The proposed work programme in Attachment A contains:
· Number of projects: 39
· Indicative cost for proposed projects: $4,447,453
Leasing work programme
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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
15. 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.
16. In July 2017, Community Facilities launched ‘Project 17’ 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.
17. 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.
18. Staff will be able to 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.

20. 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 Attachment A.
21. The Community Facilities work programme supports the achievement of the following 2017 Waiheke Local Board Plan priorities:
· Vibrant places for people

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement
22. 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.
23. 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
24. The proposed 2018/2019 Community Facilities work programme will see the allocation of $559,000 of the board’s locally driven initiatives capital budget, $1,806,000 of the board’s asset based services capital budget, and $2,082,453 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
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.

Auckland Transport Waiheke Local Board update - July 2018
File No.: CP2018/11077
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To provide an update to the Waiheke Local Board on transport related matters in their area including the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF).
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. Auckland Transport asked for feedback on a proposed new footpath on Oue Road in June 2017. This proposal did not support the board’s current priority for walking and cycling infrastructure on the island and it will not proceed.
3. Other Auckland Transport activities impacting on the local board area, and the following regional initiatives:
· General wharf update
· Cycling promotion
· Summer operations plan
· Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP)
Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation That the Waiheke Local Board: a) note the Auckland Transport Waiheke Local Board update - July 2018. |
Horopaki / Context
4. Auckland Transport is responsible for all of Auckland’s transport services, excluding state highways. They report on a monthly basis to local boards, as set out in their Local Board Engagement Plan. This monthly reporting commitment acknowledges the important engagement role local boards play within and on behalf of their local communities.
5. The LBTCF is a capital budget provided to all local boards by Auckland Council and delivered by Auckland Transport. Local boards can use this fund to deliver transport infrastructure projects that they believe are important but are not part of Auckland Transport’s work programme. Projects must also:
· Be safe.
· Not impede network efficiency.
· Be in the road corridor (although projects running through parks can be considered if there is a transport outcome).
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
Local Board Transport Capital Fund
6. The table below details the board’s current LBTCF allocation, including the increase that came into effect on 1 July 2018.
Other Auckland Transport news
General wharf update
Planned Maintenance Works at Matiatia
7. Planning is continuing to be progressed with the delivery of maintenance works at both the Old Matiatia wharf and the main Matiatia berths. Works on the Old Matiatia berth will result in the temporary restriction of access to the fueling site for users for short periods, and this will be communicated to users in advance. Works on both sites will be completed over the winter period, prior to the increase in use of both sites as summer approaches.
Half Moon Bay
8. Site
works are now progressing on the provision of dedicated bus stop facilities at
the recently completed Half Moon Bay Ferry passenger facility. Completion
is planned for mid/late 2018, but in the interim, there may be some minor
disruption to vehicle movements accessing and egressing the Half Moon Bay
Vehicular terminal.
Virtual Reality Booth at Matiatia
9. Auckland Transport has a responsibility to maximise the revenue from the space at Matiatia and as such, has been seeking a tenant for the booth previously occupied by Explore. Expressions of interest has been open for two years and this proposal is for a virtual reality experience of the island, that would then allow people to book what they have just experienced. Auckland Transport has had no other viable expressions of interest for this space.
Cycling Promotion
10. Recently
Cycle Action Waiheke received a grant from Auckland Transport to fund their
winter cycling campaign. Auckland Transport has also agreed to help provide
resources to other Cycle Action Waiheke activities.
Summer Operations Plan
11. Auckland Transport, the local board and transport operators of Waiheke are again working together to develop a plan for the busy summer months at Matiatia. There were a number of lessons learned from the trial held last summer and the constructive feedback provided by the operators will allow Auckland Transport and the board to prioritise resources for the summer.
Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP)
12. Auckland Transport is currently presenting the draft RPTP to elected members across the region. This is an opportunity for boards to look at all aspects of public transport and their aspirations for how that should look over the next 10 years.
Footpath at Oue Road
13. Auckland Transport did not receive support from the board or the community for a new footpath on Oue Road. The decision is not to proceed with this project, the funding allocated to Oue Road footpath will return to the regional budget to scope future footpaths projects.
Onetangi Beach Remediation
14. Auckland Transport attended the Onetangi Residents Association meeting at the request of the local board. The issue of the condition of the sand dunes and the best solution to prevent further erosion was raised, as this is classed as a road. Auckland Transport will work closely with Auckland Council Community Facilities and present the proposal to the board at a future meeting.
Putiki Road Update
15. The early arrival of winter means the sealing and stabilising work on Putiki Road will be delayed until the spring. Auckland Transport and its contractor Downer will delay the sealing because the temperature is too low and it’s too wet. If the sealing went ahead now, water could be trapped in the pavement and this could lead to it failing prematurely. Doing the work in early spring will give the pavement time to dry.
16. In the meantime, all footpath and drainage works will be completed, however the road surface will stay in its pre-seal condition and will be maintained on a weekly basis until the weather improves.
Speed Campaign Update
17. The speed campaign with the billboards has been active since the beginning of June and will end on 1 August 2018. There will be a survey delivered electronically at the end of the trial to evaluate the effectiveness of this campaign.
18. Auckland Transport’s community transport team will meet with the board at the end of August 2018 to discuss further road safety programmes for Waiheke.
