Proposed New Community Facilities lease to Panmure Squash Rackets Club Incorporated

 

File No.: CP2018/21831

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To grant a new community lease to Panmure Squash Rackets Club Incorporated at 44 Lagoon Drive, Panmure.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       The lease has reached final expiry and is currently holding over on a month by month basis on the same terms and conditions.

3.       The club applied to council for a new community lease in May 2015 for the part of the building it occupies at 44 Lagoon Drive, Panmure.

4.       Council will undertake the maintenance of the building under the new lease agreement, these costs will be categorised as operational expenditure (OPEX) and will affect the local board’s Asset Based Services (ABS) budget.

5.       The building is within Domain Reserve sited at 36-46 Lagoon Drive in Panmure.  The total area of Domain Reserve is 1.1116 hectares.  The land is held in fee simple by the Auckland Council as a classified recreational reserve and is subject to the Reserves Act 1977.

6.       A lease to the club is anticipated in the reserve management plan for the site.

7.       This report recommends the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki local board grant a new community lease to Panmure Squash Rackets Club Incorporated for five years, commencing 1 December 2018 subject to conditions.

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

1.   approve a new community lease to Panmure Squash Rackets Club Incorporated at 44 Lagoon Drive, Panmure, legally described as Part Allotment 64, Allotment 45, Allotment 79 and Part Allotment 78, Section 2 Village of Panmure, for the part of the building being 180 m2 (more or less) it occupies at Domain Reserve, on the following terms and conditions:

a)   term – one term of five years commencing 1 December 2018 

b)   rent – $1.00 plus GST per annum 

c)   maintenance fee - $1000.00 plus GST per annum 

d)   council will undertake on-going maintenance of the exterior and structural condition of the building 

e)   the club to repair all the wall and playing surfaces of the squash courts 

f)    the club to maintain all of the interior of the building including squash playing areas

g)   the club unequivocally accepts the current condition of the building without further recourse to council for assistance to remedy building defects and repairs 

h)   a Community Outcomes Plan to be agreed with the club to be attached as a schedule to the new lease

i)    an early termination clause allowing council, in its sole discretion, to terminate the lease at any time by giving the club not less than six (6) months’ written notice.

j)     all other terms and conditions to be in accordance with the Auckland Council Community Occupancy Guidelines July 2012.

 

2.   the arrears owing under the current lease to be backdated to the end of March 2016 which amounts to $23,475; and the rent from April 2016 to present date be charged at $1 per annum; 

3.   the board use $6,000 from Community Response Fund and $17,477 from Parks Response Fund to write off the arrears owed by the club which totals $23,477.00. 

 

 

Horopaki / Context

8.       The Panmure Squash Rackets Club Incorporated has requested a new lease of the premises it occupies at Domain Reserve, 44 Lagoon Drive, Panmure. 

9.       Processing of the new lease was delayed as maintenance and condition issues with the building were investigated together with other matters affecting the club and council.

10.     These matters have now been progressed and this report discusses and makes recommendations in this regard.

11.     The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board is the delegated authority in matters relating to local, recreation, sport and community facilities, including community leasing matters.

12.     The Panmure Squash Rackets Club was incorporated on 23 February 1978. The club is an incorporated society, and is affiliated to, Squash Auckland and Squash New Zealand.  It was founded in 1965 by a group of local residents who shared the vision of fostering squash in East Auckland.

13.     The club has a rich history of successful players who have represented Auckland in national events and New Zealand in world championship events.  Ross Norman (who is still a current member of the club) was World Squash Champion in 1986 and inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall Of Fame.

14.     The club’s purpose is: “To raise the profile of squash, to promote a healthy and active lifestyle by enabling the local and wider community to embrace and maximise the use of the club’s squash facility.”  This purpose aligns directly with the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Plan 2017, supporting more Aucklanders to be more active.

15.     The club is committed to full utilisation of the facility.  It consists of five squash courts, a gymnasium, showers and changing areas, a licensed bar, lounge and deck area.  Events are run for members and non-members throughout the year.

16.     The financial accounts provided indicate that the club’s funds are sufficient to meet its current and future liabilities and are being managed appropriately.  The club has all necessary insurance cover, including public liability insurance in place

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

The land and building 

17.     The land at 36-44 Lagoon Drive, Panmure consists of four separately defined but adjoining land parcels described as Part Allotment 64, Allotment 45, Allotment 79 and Part Allotment 78, Section 2 Village of Panmure. The total area of Domain Reserve is 1.1116 hectares.

18.     The Domain Road Reserve Management Plan, adopted in 1989 contemplates the lease to the Panmure Squash and Rackets Club.

19.     The club has been based at the present site for over 53 years.  It is the largest ‘squash only’ facility in Auckland with 280 members, and the second largest squash club in New Zealand.

20.     The building on the land is owned by Auckland Council and houses the YMCA on the northern side and the squash club on the southern end. 

21.     A building assessment was undertaken by Community Facilities, Asset Management Intelligence Support team (AMIS) to assess the overall condition of the building and provide options for the continued use of the facility (Attachment B).

22.     The report graded the overall condition of the building as a three, being average. However, some parts of the building, particularly the building wall component in the squash courts, were graded four, being in poor condition.  

23.     Cracking of the squash court walls, along with moisture damage has been an ongoing issue with the building dating back 20 years.  Five consultant reports have been commissioned over time to identify the cause of the cracks and remedial action.  Despite repairs, cracks continued to appear and this has adversely affected the performance requirement of the squash courts.

24.     The cracking of the interior plaster surface of the walls is believed to be the result of a number of factors ranging from:

(i)         poor workmanship such as joints between old and new plaster works

(ii)        deflection of walls from grout infill of the hollow block walls and shrinkage movement; and 

(iii)       possible intrusion from the pohutukawa tree roots located on the south side of the building growing into the building foundation and walls.

25.     A mechanical and electrical (M&E) report commissioned in 2012 has also confirmed the heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system in the squash court building is at the end of its economic life.

26.     AMIS advise that it is not economical to continue to repair the cracks to the playing surface walls, as these continue to resurface shortly after repair, as has been evidenced in previous years. The cost to council to renew the building is unreasonably high and several options in this regard was provided to the board for information and consideration.

27.     The options provided by AMIS were:

Option 

Description  

Cost 

Option 1 

Repair and replace the existing court walls by demolishing the existing blockwork and replace with light weight block or a glass wall system that can be used as the court playing surface. Further studies need to be carried out to confirm the cost estimate 

$15,000-$20,000 per court. 

Option 2 

Convert the affected courts to other usage where structural walls are not a functional requirement of the use. The remaining courts can be upgraded. This also requires further investigation and design. 

The estimated construction cost based on Quotable Value for this is in the region of $600,000. 

Option 3 

Demolish and rebuild facility.  This is not an option until an alternative facility for squash is built. 

Estimated cost of $2,000,000. 

Option 4 

Do nothing and continue on a monthly lease with the squash club. 

 

 

28.     The cost incurred by option 4 which has not been included in AMIS’ report, would include the growing arrears which would remain an issue with the club, and maintenance costs for the building which council would have to undertake given the condition issues of the building.

29.     The building is not technically fit for its current purpose (for playing squash), as the internal court surfaces need renewal/replacement and the HVAC system needs replacing. A breakdown of the internal and external issues is detailed in Appendix 5 of the building assessment report (pages 15 to 16), along with recommendations to address these.

30.     If the structural walls are not used for squash, or if a glass panel wall is built in front of them for squash, this removes the issue of the building not being fit for purpose. The club is agreeable to fix the squash courts at its own cost to remedy this issue.

31.     The club has confirmed that it has been successful with an application for a grant to purchase the glass fronts for the squash walls, pending the granting of a new lease.  It has also confirmed approval from club management to proceed with the installation. 

32.     Removing this building from the network of squash facilities in Auckland would leave a network gap for squash. As noted earlier in the report, Panmure is one of the largest squash clubs and there are little or no alternative options to use other facilities such as schools or amalgamation with another club.  The club want to remain at the present site. A new lease will allow them to continue their activities and service the needs of members on the current site.

33.     Options for a replacement facility either at this location or elsewhere have not been advanced. Discussion between council and the club are yet to commence.

34.     The inclusion of an early termination clause will address the future proposals underway with the site and provide flexibility with the lease should those developments be brought forward.

Arrears

35.     Issues with arrears date back to 2012.  Between 5 April 2012 and 30 March 2016 no payments were made by the club as required by the lease.  Council issued the club with two breach notices dated 2 February 2016, and 23 March 2016 pursuant to the provisions of the lease.

36.     Council and the club came to an agreement on the arrears, and payments recommenced in March 2016 and stopped again in May 2017.

37.     On the 1 July 2017, the outstanding arrears for rent and maintenance charges owed by the club totalled $35,011.

38.     At the workshops on 3 April and 17 July 2018, the local board requested that the invoicing for rent be deferred until the building and leasing issues with the club were resolved.

39.     If the board adopts the recommendations of this report, all arrears and rent accrued to the present date, will be paid prior to the formalisation of any new lease agreement. 

Advice

40.     The terms in the new lease will be sufficient to address the issues related to the condition of the building, squash courts and outstanding arrears.  Staff advise there is a required need for the activities undertaken by the club, and the club’s goals are well supported by the community.

41.     Staff recommend that the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board approve a new lease to Panmure Squash Rackets Club Incorporated subject to conditions.

 

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

42.     Discussions between the club and council began in April 2018 with a meeting between the club, officers from council, and some members of the local board.  The result of that meeting is detailed in the proposed terms of the new lease stated in the recommendations. 

43.     Following that meeting other issues related to maintenance; the legal effects relating to the condition of the building, and public engagement process for a new lease, required further investigation and consideration by council. Once these matters were determined, the proposed new lease was workshopped with the local board in August 2018. 

44.     The local board indicated granting a new lease to the club, and using Locally Driven Initiative (LDI) funds ($6,000 from Community Response Fund and $17,477 from Parks Response Fund) to write off the arrears owed, which totals $23,477.

45.     It is within the local board’s delegated authority to write off the debt using their LDI funding.

46.     The recommendations in this report fall the under local boards’ delegated authority relating to local recreation, sports and community facilities.

47.     The recommendations also support outcomes in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Plan 2017, being an active and engaged community. The recommendation to approve the new lease ensures facility accessibility to cater to the needs of the club as well as those of other groups and the public who use the facility.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

48.     Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its broader legal obligations to Māori.  The Council recognises these responsibilities are distinct from the Crown’s Treaty obligations and fall within a local government Tamaki Makaurau context.  

49.     These commitments are also articulated in the council’s key strategic planning documents the Auckland Plan, the 2015-2025 10-year Budget, the Auckland Unitary Plan and local board plans.

50.     Support for Māori initiatives and outcomes are detailed in Te Toa Takitini, Auckland Council’s Māori Responsiveness Framework.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

51.     The building is currently part of the community facilities portfolio and there will be no change to the status of the property.  Current budgets will continue to apply. 

52.     The club will be funding the cost of remedial works to the courts from their own resources, and will meet the ongoing maintenance cost for these works, and for the internal maintenance of the building for the duration of the new lease.  

53.     There is a direct financial cost of $23,477 in forgiving the arrears. This needs to be funded and cannot be written off in terms of the council financial policies. The report recommends that the cost of this be met from the LDI funding allowance of $6,000 from Community Response Fund and $17,477 from Parks Response Fund.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

54.     Should the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board resolve not to grant a new community lease, this decision will materially affect the club’s ability to provide its services to the local community and undertake its core activities.  There is significant risk that the club’s eligibility for future grant funding will also be affected, which would inhibit the club’s future development and erode recreational benefits derived by the wider community. 

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

55.     Subject to the grant of a new community lease, council staff will work with the squash club to finalise Community Outcome Plan and the Deed of Lease.

Allocation of Local Board Transport Capital Fund towards the Tamaki Path Project

 

File No.: CP2018/22599

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To revoke clause E of resolution MT/2017/30, approve the allocation of the Auckland Transport Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) to complete the link from Omaru Creek to Kiano Place as part of the Tāmaki Path and approve the allocation of the LBTCF to undertake investigation design on the link to Kotae Road.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       In March 2017, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board resolved to approve the Tāmaki Path project to proceed to detailed design and delivery (MT/2017/30). As part of this resolution, the board placed a hold on the path proposed for Section B - Point England Reserve coastal Local Path (from end of new Omaru Bridge to Kotae Road and Kiano Place).

3.       Staff recommend that the board complete the link from Omaru Creek to Kiano Place so that the Tāmaki Path does not come to an abrupt end after the bridge and cost savings can be made. Staff also recommend undertaking investigation design on the link to Kotae Road.

4.       Local boards can use the LBTCF to deliver transport infrastructure projects that are not part of Auckland Transport’s work programme. There is $1,609,391 in Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board’s LBTCF that needs to be allocated by June 2019.

5.       This report recommends that the board approve the allocation of the LBTCF towards the link from Omaru Creek to Kiano Place as part of the Tāmaki Path project, and towards investigation design on the link to Kotae Road.

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)      revoke clause E of resolution MT/2017/30:

e.   place on hold the path proposed for section B - Point England Reserve coastal Local Path (from end of new Omaru Bridge to Kotae Road and Kiano Place) at this time in response to objection from local residents.

b)      approve the allocation of $320,000 from the local board transport capital fund to complete the link from Omaru Creek to Kiano Place, providing connection for the Tāmaki Path after the bridge.

c)         approve the allocation of $60,000 from the local board transport capital fund to             investigate, consult, consent and provide a fixed cost estimate to allow the board to             make a final decision on the link to Kotae Rd.

 

Horopaki / Context

6.       The Tāmaki Estuary Walkway Plan was developed in 2012 and adopted by the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board in 2013.

7.       In April 2016, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board approved the Tāmaki Path project (also referred to as the Tāmaki Estuary Greenway) to proceed to the stage of developed design and consent planning (MT/2016/54).

8.       During public consultation a petition was received from the Wai-o-taiki Residents Association (WRA), which outlined residents’ concerns for Wai-o-taiki Reserve.

9.       The petition data was not included in the analysis of the consultation data as the petition raised various issues that were outside the scope of the Tāmaki Path project. Staff recommended the local board facilitate a separate response to the WRA and their concerns.

10.     Complete analysis of the consultation feedback is attached in Appendix B.

11.     In March 2017, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board approved the Tāmaki Path project to proceed to detailed design and delivery (MT/2017/30). As part of this resolution, the board placed a hold on the path proposed for Section B - Point England Reserve coastal Local Path (from end of new Omaru Bridge to Kotae Road and Kiano Place) in response to objection from local residents. The full resolution is attached.

12.     The Tāmaki Path project is now in the construction phase and works are currently underway. 

13.     Contractors have built a temporary road from Kiano Place to the new Omaru Creek Bridge to transport materials for the construction of the bridge. There is an opportunity to convert this temporary road into a concrete path connection from the Omaru Creek Bridge to the reserve entrance at Kiano Place.

14.     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:

·        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).

15.     There is currently $1,609,391 remaining in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki LBTCF, which must be allocated by June 2019.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

16.     Options for the link from the Tāmaki Path - Omaru Creek bridge include:

Option

Notes

Cost

Option 1 (recommended) – revoke the existing resolution and complete the link from Omaru Creek Bridge to Kiano Place so that the Tāmaki Path does not come to an abrupt end after the bridge.

The link to Kotae Road will also be investigated, consulted upon and consented for future connection opportunities and to provide the board with a fixed price estimate of the works which will allow them to make a final decision on the link to Kotae Rd.

 

 

Estimate cost for a separate project to link the Tāmaki Path to Kiano Place is $550,000, however if the works are approved to be carried out by the existing contractors onsite before they finish, the estimate cost of the works is $320,000.Estimate cost for investigation, consultation and consent application for the link to Kotae Road is $60,000.

 

Option 2 – revoke the existing resolution and complete both the links to Kiano Place and Kotae Road as per the original proposed routes.

This will need further investigation to determine whether it is feasible and seek mana whenua’s support.

Estimate cost for these works is $780,000, which will only be completed once a new consent has been granted. This allows for the temporary haul road to remain onsite, however the contractor will have to disestablish from site and therefore additional preliminary and general costs will be incurred by the project.

Option 3 - rescind the existing resolution and complete both the links to Kiano Pl and Kotae Rd as per the alternative proposed routes.

This will need further investigation to determine if this is feasible and seek mana whenua’s support.

Estimate cost for these works is $880,000, which will only be completed once a new consent has been granted. This allows for the temporary haul road to remain onsite, however the contractor will have to disestablish from site and therefore additional preliminary and general costs will be incurred by the project.

 

17.     Extending the proposed path as per Option 1 from the Omaru Creek Bridge to Kiano Place would have the following benefits:

·        Less chance of contamination of the various shell middens onsite as no further disturbance is necessary to carry out these works

·        A formed concrete shared path access from Kiano Place to Pt England Reserve, Riverside Reserve, Dunkirk Reserve, Mt Wellington War Memorial Reserve and Panmure Wharf Reserve, as well as an on-road link from Mt Wellington War Memorial Reserve to Panmure Town Centre and Panmure Basin Reserve

18.     Staff recommend proceeding with Option 1, which also allows for investigation, design and consents for a future link to Kotae Road.  

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

19.     The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board has supported this project by adoption of the Local Board Greenways Plan, and the development of the Tāmaki Estuary Walkway Plan which was adopted by the local board in 2013. It is also captured as a priority project in the Local Board Plan 2014.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

Māori views have been heard through the consultation process and Te Ao Māori values have influenced:

·        path alignment

·        inclusion of cultural artwork into the pedestrian bridge


 

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

20.     Current summary of the LBTCF:

21.     Estimate cost for a separate project to link the Tāmaki Path to Kiano Place is $550,000. However, if the works are approved to be carried out by the existing contractors onsite before they finish the estimate cost of the works is $320,000, resulting in cost savings of up to $230,000.

22.     Estimate cost for investigation, consultation and consent application for the link to Kotae Road for future connection opportunities is $60,000.

23.     The total cost of Option 1 is $380,000, to be allocated from the LBTCF. This leaves $1,229,391 remaining.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

24.     Auckland Transport is not delivering this project and has no ability to impact or change the scope or cost of the project, meaning that additional cost to the completion of this project will need to be allocated from other budgets or a new application to the LBTCF will need to be made.

25.     The decision not to approve the path while the project is under construction would increase the cost of completing this project in the future by $230,000 taking the total cost $550,000.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

26.     Following approval from the board, next steps is to complete the link to Kiano Place and start investigation design for the connection to the maki Path from Kotae Road.

27.     The board will receive monthly updates on the progress of this project through regular Community Facilities reporting.

·    local board priorities

·    lower priorities for funding

·    exclusions

·    grant types, the number of grant rounds and when these will open and close

·    any additional accountability requirements.

 

8.       The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board adopted their grants programme for 2018/2019 on 24 April 2018 and will operate three local grants rounds for this financial year.

Community benefits

 

Identified need:

 

 

We have been working for approximately three years now in the community. We have identified that with more activities in and around the community being delivered it has help decrease the safety issue that has plagued the community for years. The people are voicing to us as we work with their children and youth, they would like to see more community/family events in their area. More families are coming out and use the parks. The highlight is they see their neighbours and kids facilitating these small events and activities. The opportunity to provide a platform where the locals can showcase their own cultures and identity has made a huge positive impact in the Oranga/Onehunga Community

 

Identified community outcomes:

 

 

Increase physical and mental wellbeing of young people. Reduction in crime and safety issues in and around Oranga and Fergusson Park through increase activities. Create a safe environment for youth to participate, celebrate and express their talents and gifts in a safe

environment. Youth and Community have a sense of ownership and become role models for others through mentorship and life skills workshop offered by Synergy Projects. Building local leadership capacity in the neighbourhood. Pathways created into education and business for young people and the community.  Community getting to know their neighbours by attending these events and supporting

them in providing for the needy and vulnerable families of Oranga.

 

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

putting people first - People are cared for and enabled to participate, celebrate and contribute to the community

 

The Festival is an integral part of the community which happens every year.  The local community attend to celebrate their diversity, their culture, contribute by operating stalls, performing on the main stage, and help facilitate workshops and sites of the festival.

Community benefits

Identified need:

 

Numerous studies around the world have shown that access to theatre helps boost literacy and cultivates imaginative thinking in children. A study conducted at UCLA in the US, for instance, which looked at 25,000 students involved in the performing arts, showed consistent participation helped improve academic performance and even bumped up standardised test scores.

 

Low Decile Schools have expressed the need directly to us in communication around the project. The schools and their families can't afford the cost of tickets and transport, and therefore don't have access to the quality live professional productions that we offer.

Identified community outcomes:

 

The aim is to unlock children's imaginations of today so we can ignite the creative minds of tomorrow. 

 

By making theatre accessible to all children, we are realising one of our values as an organisation.

 

A chance for the school to participate in a learning experience outside the classroom, assisted by a free Teachers’ Resource Guide we create which has cross curricula activity ideas. 

 

"The productions always blend in with the English and Arts curriculum in al strands and so it is a very good learning aid. The teacher's resource guide before and after provides lots of ideas and ways to follow up so bringing this into the classroom."  Gael Vickers, Principal Ruapotaka.

 

We offer active participation of children and young people through the associated Theatre

Workshops that are geared around each of the shows.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

active participation - Our young people are engaged in the community and have access to a wide range of opportunities

 

Unlocking imaginations today ignites the creative minds of tomorrow.

 

Since 2005 we have been offering free tickets (Gift a Seats) to our theatre performances to low decile schools, many come from the Maungakiekie - Tamaki. 

 

Through our Gift a Seat outreach programme the young people from Ruapotaka School in Panmure will have access to our live professional theatre performance of "The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate" by Margaret Mahy in April 2019 at the Pumphouse Theatre in Takapuna. 

 

Teachers will receive The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate's free Teachers Resource Guide before and after the show which aligns with the school curriculum, it is jam packed full of cross curricular activities to use inside the classroom, and enhances their literacy, comprehension and reading outcomes.

 

The cost of tickets for the show and the bus fare is generally prohibitive for these children and the schools, many of the students have never been over the harbour bridge let alone to a live theatre performance, so as you can imagine, by the time they get to the theatre in Takapuna they are incredibly excited.

 

As explained in the thank you letters attached from local schools in the Maungakiekie - Tamaki area.The response and encouragement  from the teachers and students are heartfelt and encouraging affirming that these performances is not just entertainment but are a vital part for children’s development; socially, educationally and building confidence - often sparking ideas for their own performances and getting involved in the arts themselves.

Promoting SmokeFree:

We request that any of our cast or crew who smoke do not smoke in view of the audience

coming to see our shows as they are role models to our young audiences.

The PumpHouse Theatre is a smoke-free environment.

Zero waste minimisation

We will store the newly built set, costumes and props for The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate till we stage the show again or tour it.

Project: Counselling and Program Costs

Location:

4A Court Crescent, Panmure, Auckland 1072

Summary:

Counselling for women and children who have been through trauma, domestic violence and abuse, and abusive relationships. Many women still experience the impacts of abuse even when they have left the relationship. Some are badly broken and healing can take a long time. Our aim is that we provide that support to women in a safe environment and that women and children are able to heal from this trauma, believe in themselves and move on to a better place in life.

 

Group programs for women and children that are part of the wrap around support that we offer to families and women to help them develop pro-social skills, self-efficacy, and self-worth.

 

Our maths club aims to help children with maths.

Community benefits

Identified need:

 

We receive referrals from Oranga Tamariki and from local schools of families that are needing support. We work with for e.g. families who split up because Mum is drug dependent and Dad is now taking care of the children on his own, but he also wears an ankle bracelet and has his own issues. Counselling is part of the wrap around support that we provide for children and families who are victims of this.

 

In February of this year an Education Review report found that NZ children's confidence to do Maths fell between years 4 and 8 and Chief Review Officer, Nicolas Pole found that it had been dropping "alarmingly" for some time.

Identified community outcomes:

 

We want mums to have better self-esteem, improve in self-efficacy and be better mums/parents to their children. We also want to see children attending school, doing well at it, at least enough so that they can be in gainful employment or even attain Tertiary education.

 

Children attending school programs are assured of a bright spot in their week - helping to combat the sadness that they may be experiencing at home. They also learn pro-social skills  and skills such as cooking that will help in their future in terms of healthy and cheaper meals. Obesity among children and adults because of unhealthy consumption of food is a problem among many Maori and Pasifika communities and also financial issues. Learning to cook, practicing their maths skills with one on one help is a means of enabling children to know that there is another better way to live their lives.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

putting people first - People are cared for and enabled to participate, celebrate and contribute to the community

 

The following needs that will be met are illustrated through our key outcomes that we have achieved:

 

Providing wrap around support to families that meet their needs in a holistic way, often outside the specific issue that is sited at the beginning of the referral. We provide counselling for women and children mainly, but are open to counselling men also.  Marked improvements are seen in children who have behavioural issues such as a child no longer lying and stealing because she is getting attention and being listened to and given guidance.

 

Clear behavioural and emotional regulation changes in children that help them to stay in class longer and being taken off "daily reports" and other behavioural management lists in schools. This work includes finding what makes a child really engage and what motivates them to improve their behaviour.  We have found that among other things, community activities such as cooking classes (one of our programs) really help to facilitate this change in children.

 

Facilitating increased stability, improved education engagement and outcomes and increased positive peer groups in children.

 

Working alongside mothers to address their own health issues and those of their families.  Empowering mothers is a big part of the Family Workers' mahi and Counselling is a significant help to this.

 

We act as a translator and facilitator for families when engaging with other organisations particularly with OT through care and protection and youth justice Family Group Conferences (FGC's). This helps families to feel less threatened by the process and more readily able to engage and take ownership of the issues presenting.

 

We provide transport to Counselling for a lot of our women, especially those who may have a very young baby in their care and need this type of support i.e. do not have their own transport or a baby sitter.

1. WISE Collective

The project empowers refugee background women and isolated migrants with the skills, experience and confidence, to create positive networks and also share their own skills and culture in the community, seek employment and take entrepreneurial ventures that help them generate income for their families (e.g. WISE Catering). Women are positively impacted through both educational and recreational activities resulting in overall wellbeing.

Community benefits

Identified need:

 

ARMS conducted a study involving over 1000 migrant and refugee backgrounds, showing several issues around the need for meaningful employment, education, community safety and wellbeing, English language skills, poverty, housing, social support and outlets for recreation, leisure and cultural expression. 

 

This community is disadvantaged and face issues such as isolation and poor social cohesion. The need for WISE has grown, resulting in two new hubs. WISE not only empowers these women with skills, networks and resources to pursue new careers and further education, but has also resulted in a new sense belonging and connectedness to their community; improving their mental, emotional and social wellbeing. Safari addresses similar needs, taking into account the needs of both women and their children.

Identified community outcomes:

 

1. Less social isolation and increased social cohesion and connections for the communities involved in these projects to the wider community in which they live. 

2. Greater knowledge and use of support agencies, community facilities, community activities.

3. Better settlement and integration of the communities taking part in WISE and Safari project, that celebrates their diversity through business ventures and celebrations.

 

By taking part in English language lessons, informative workshops and seminars and recreational activities, these communities will build their support networks in the wider community and increase their social cohesion, becoming less isolated. With service providers invited to deliver specific workshops based on the needs of the community, they are not only informed but gain a new contact in the community. 

 

An essential part to helping these communities gain the confidence in actively participating in their local communities involves ensuring that their culture is valued and the diversity they bring to their communities is celebrated. This means continuing to give opportunities for them to share and celebrate their culture through food, song, dance and even generate income as seen with WISE Catering.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

putting people first - People are cared for and enabled to participate, celebrate and contribute to the community

 

WISE (Women Inspired, Strong and Enterprising) Project:

• This is a partnership project with ARCC (Auckland resettled community coalition) that brings together former refugee and isolated migrant women to connect with each other, key service providers and their wider community in a safe space. The project is tailored to their specific needs giving them opportunities to develop a range of skills that help them network, get socially connected, share their own skills and even provide them with the opportunity to generate income for their families through entrepreneurial ventures. At the project the women are able to practice in a safe social setting, their newly learnt English language helping them gain confidence to participate more in the project but also in their wider communities.  

 

Safari Multicultural Playgroup Project: 

• The Safari Playgroups is a partnership project with ARCC and were set up to respond to the needs of mothers from refugee and isolated migrant backgrounds, often recently arrived in NZ, who have minimal English and connections in the community. Such families can often have 2 – 4 children, no transport, and very little if any family support. All of the children who attend are from low-socio economic backgrounds with the majority of the family’s experiencing high needs in terms of not only lack of transportation, but also financial, social and health issues. Most of the children do not speaking English and some children have developmental delay. 

 

The model is unique as it provides multiple benefits, for mothers and their children, as well as for service providers who seek to connect with hard-to-reach families. Mothers who are involved in the Safari Playgroups benefit not only from English classes run by trained ESOL teachers but they also benefit from the workshops and speakers who visit from key service providers; which helps foster relationships and connections with the wider community especially in key areas. The families find out about our playgroup through being referred by DHBs, maternal mental health, midwives, emergency family housing, Family start and Plunket.

 

Both projects put people first by making sure the services delivered meet their unique needs, walking alongside them and empowering them to participate in their local communities, by showing them the value of their contribution, their culture and the benefits to themselves and their families of getting involved.

Yes - Our project ensures we are accessible to people to disabilities by holding it in locations that have disability access (e.g. ramps and/or elevators). We also are accessible through the delivery of our project which is purposely delivered where our communities live, making transport less of a barrier.

Target ethnic groups:

Specific ethnic group Māori, Pacific Peoples, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Other Asian, Middle Eastern, Latin American, African, Other: Burmese

Promoting SmokeFree:

WISE and Safari invite different service providers that help inform participants of locally available services as well as promoting healthy living including being smoke-free. Service providers provide take-away resources that give participants information about the importance of being smoke-free for themselves and their families and also if need be, what they can do and where they can go to get support if they wish to quit. All our projects operate on premises that are smoke-free as well which we ensure is reiterated.

Zero waste minimisation

Yes we have. We have invited Auckland Council representatives that work in the area of waste minimisation to deliver information sessions and workshops, in particular for our WISE project. This has resulted in participants being equipped with the necessary information to start their own compost bins at home and adopt behaviours that help minimise waste e.g. bringing their own shopping bags and reducing their consumption of single use plastics like drink bottles. In addition, our projects try to operate in a way that reduces waste, by choosing recycled or eco-friendly products, reducing our printing and reusing resources beyond their original usage.

Project: Continued running of Mt Wellington Playcentre for 2019 (part funding)

Location:

174 Penrose Road, Mount Wellington, Auckland 1060

Summary:

We run six sessions per week per term. A typical day would include providing our children with activities like painting, playdough, water play, sandpit, collage, baking and carpentry - all of which require consumables and varied resources.

 

Several times a term we also host formal adult training sessions for our families - to maintain our licensed status and deepen our knowledge. These ensure sessions are engaging and adhere to Te Whariki early childhood curriculum.

 

As we expand our membership, especially in the under twos category of children, we are required to provide a safe sleeping space for our youngest members - therefore we need to upgrade our sleeping room in early 2019 from having two cots to four sleeping spaces in cot bunks.

Promotion:

We always look for ways to grow our Playcentre membership by promoting our centre. Our centre is listed on the main Playentre website www.playentre.org.uk and we run a public facing Facebook page which will be regularly refreshed with new content. We also work in partnership with the SPACE programme, so that when its members graduate we look to transition them on to Playcentre sessions - this has worked particularly well in 2018.

Community benefits

Identified need:

 

Our Playcentre is busy and utilised every weekday of term time. 

 

We run Playcentre sessions Monday, Wednesday and Friday for mixed-age children from birth up to school age. On Tuesday and Thursday we host three parent and baby/toddler sessions (SPACE sessions run by SPACE NZ Trust) which also use our site and resources. 

Our enrolments have grown in 2018 and we currently have 32 children attending over the three Playcentre sessions. SPACE sessions have been so successful that they are increasing their capacity from 15 to 20 children for each session in 2019.

Identified community outcomes:

 

Playcentre benefits the children who attend by allowing them to learn and grow through play - preparing them for a confident entry into school. 

 

The Playcentre is parent-led and creates a sense of belonging and support for local families - the relationships and friendships we make last for years beyond Playcentre. We also help to develop new parenting skills which are underpinned by a formal education programme. We firmly believe these skills are taken into the family home and beyond by our parents.

 

Additionally as a self-managed centre, the organisational and business skills parents learn also benefit the wider community - including areas like finance, planning, budget management, fundraising, property management, administration, education provision, and leadership.

 

The SPACE programme also benefits parents and babies/toddlers, offering support, practical advice and parenting skills for new parents. Increasing the capacity of these sessions with the installation of new cot bunks will allow this positive effect to reach further into the growing community.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

creating opportunities for our young people - Our community is a safer place

 

At Playcentre we believe that children learn best through their play. It enables them to explore the world, develop their own theories on how things work and get along with children of mixed ages and adults - all in an environment where they are valued and feel safe. 

 

Playcentre children have families who are supporting their learning and maintaining the link between the centre and home environment - something the Ministry of Education and the Education Review Office have highlighted as being a major contributing factor to their future success at school.

 

Playcentre also creates a small community for the families who attend, with opportunities for families to socialise together. Our Playcentre is open to everyone and we believe the positive impact on the families who attend is carried through to the wider community.

Māori outcomes:

Māori focus - tikanga (practises), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

Te Whare Tikanga Māori, is a governance body within Playcentre Aotearoa and is recognised as the organisations Partner; this is enabled through Playcentre's commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. 

 

Te Whare Tikanga Māori has identified that ngā mātāpono of Rangatiratanga, Mana, Whanaungatanga and Wairuatanga underpin Playcentre philosophy and ngā wāriu of Aroha, Kaitiakitanga, Manaakitanga, Te Reo, Pono, Tika and Maramatanga guide our actions and behaviours. 

 

Our Playcentre in Mount Wellington incorporates tikanga, mātauranga and reo in all sessions and practices, for example we do karakia, pakiwaitara and waiata for our children regularly and we have adults attending who are proficient in te reo.  We also host Te Kimiora o Tamaki hui (our regional Māori rōpū).

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our centre is gated for children's safety, but we have an access ramp and an accessible toilet.

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

Promoting SmokeFree:

Our Playcentre is a smoke free environment. There is signage on the entrance way to support this.

Zero waste minimisation

As standard we minimise water wastage during water play, and all food scraps are composted and used in the vegetable patch. We also recycle materials wherever possible.

Requesting grant for:

We are requesting funding for two key element for our Playcentre - both of which are required to meed our Ministry of Education licensing criteria:

 1. The one-off purchase of two bunk cots to enable our under twos capacity to grow from 15 to 20.

2. The funding for education enrichment supplies for 2019 to facilitate a wide variety of painting, craft, collage, carpentry, baking, dress up and reading activities for our children - this is part of our annual expenditure.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

As the cots are a licensing requirement we would go ahead with this critical up-front purchase. We also have a list of required consumable education resources to make available for our children's learning, but this can be managed as a staggered cost throughout the year.

 

For the project to continue we would need to reprioratise centre activities and look for areas to make savings in order to enable us to purchase the cot bunks at the start of 2019. We would then approach other organisations and hold fundraising activities throughout the year to make up the shortfall.

Cost of participation:

Members who attend once a week pay $50 per term per family, members who attend twice a week with $35 koha per term per family.

Project: Raincoats for Kids

 

Location:

Across 18 KidsCan partner schools, located in the Maungakiekie-Tamaki region.

 

Summary:

Raincoats for Kids programme gives children in low decile schools their very own “Warriors” branded raincoats. Often this raincoat is the first new item of clothing a child has ever had, we hear of children sleeping in their coats as they are the warmest piece of clothing they own. Shoes and socks are also available for schools to order if needed.

Identified need:

 

 

KidsCan constantly receives feedback from principals and teachers in the community who have children in their classes with no food, footwear, warm or dry clothing and very limited access to healthcare or health items.

 

Identified community outcomes:

 

 

Community well-being and in particular the well being of children is extremely important to KidsCan.  By running our programmes through schools we are encouraging disadvantaged children to attend school, improving their educational outcomes and allowing them the greatest opportunity to reach their full potential in life. This leads to a happier community with more educated young people.  Our programmes are proven to reduce anger, theft and violence - supporting youth who may be at risk can change lives and help break the poverty cycle.

We would love funding to purchase raincoats for the children.  Children who are cold and hungry are not able to learn very well, they are distracted, irritable and light headed.  A Massey University study completed in 2010 has proven that our programmes reduce theft and anger - as well as improving attention in class and attendance rates in schools.

 

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

Any funding would be greatly appreciated and can be utilised to purchase raincoats for the children.

Summary:

The aim of the day is to showcase the clubs that utilise this area for recreational activity as well as give local community groups and organisation the opportunity to be involved.  Children and family free fun activities are situated at intervals around the Panmure Basin giving children the opportunity to be creative and active as they explore the 3.1 km path that surrounds the Basin.  In 2018, a Recycle Raft Race was added and 5 groups built and competed in the race. The event also highlights the little known natural feature of the Basin to families in greater Auckland.

Identified need:

 

This event has been going since the 1960's and is part of the local history.  In 2016, the original organisers, the Panmure Basin Advisory Committee, were unable to find volunteers who would pull the event together.  The Panmure Business Association had long recognised the value of the event and rallied support from 12 local businesses and organisations.  The group applied to the Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board to cover the cost of and event organiser, which they did.  The first event following the new model was in 2017 and proved to be successful.  The event earlier this year had an increased public turnout and was very well received.

Identified community outcomes:

 

Community groups and organisation participation.

Increased public involvement and enjoyment of the activities on offer.

Increased understanding about Panmure Basin as a great recreational facility that is centrally located and accessible to all.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

putting people first - People are cared for and enabled to participate, celebrate and contribute to the community

 

The Panmure Basin Fun Day has been held on the Panmure Basin since the 1960's. The aim of the day is to showcase the clubs  that utilise this area for recreational activity as well as give local community groups and organisation the opportunity to be involved and give the children of Tamaki an interactive fun free day out. The event also highlights the little known natural feature of the Basin to family's in greater Auckland.

Project: Toolbox parenting groups in Maungakiekie-Tāmaki

 

Location:

Community venues, social service agencies, churches, and private homes within the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki local board area.  A large proportion of these courses will happen at the Parenting Place, 300 Great South Road, Greenlane.

 

Summary:

Through our range of six-session Toolbox parenting courses, we provide practical parenting skills & strategies that can be implemented in any family situation, regardless of income, ethnicity, education, or ability.  In the Building Awesome Whānau Toolbox course, evidence-informed parenting techniques are presented in a way that is understandable, relevant and culturally appropriate.  This course is being widely utilised with at-risk and vulnerable families in conjunction with the many social service agencies we collaborate with.  Our aim is to increase the number of at-risk families completing a parenting programme and reduce disparities in health and social outcomes within this sector.  We plan to run 28 courses in Maungakiekie-Tāmaki over the next 12 months benefitting 252 parents and their families.

Promotion:

We will promote all the Toolbox courses on the Parenting Place website, social media, community notice boards, ECE centres, schools, and other places in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki community.  Toolbox courses are well known and don't require high amounts of promotion.  The social service agencies and community partners we work with also promote courses on our behalf to their contacts.

 

Community benefits

 

Identified need:

 

 

Studies show raising the confidence and competence of parents through parenting programmes has positive effects in reducing negative outcomes like child abuse, teenage pregnancy, and youth suicide.  Sustained increase in demand by participants, as well as the continued enthusiasm and support for our programmes by our community partners, is evidence Toolbox parenting courses are meeting an important need.  Each year more community groups request we train their people as Toolbox facilitators, or run Toolbox courses on their behalf.  Last year 75% of courses were run through community and social service organisations.

 

Identified community outcomes:

 

 

The community outcomes Toolbox courses in Maungakiekie-Tāmaki will provide are:

1. A foundation for long-term systematic social change through its impact upon families involved.  For an alarmingly large number of attendees, the material is completely new.  They may be several generations removed from functional family life and for them, the knowledge presented is revolutionary.  As individual lives are transformed through parenting education, the community is transformed.  

2. Ensuring that every person who wants to improve their wellbeing through parenting by attending a Toolbox course is able to.  

3. Ensuring the courses are engaging, relevant, up-to-date, applicabole to life and enjoyable so that most participants attend at least 5 out of 6 sessions.

 

It is our firm belief that our delivery of effective, empowering programmes and resources makes a measurable difference to the lives of children and parents. This is evidenced in feedback from recipients, community groups and social service agencies we collaborate with along with and external reviews of the Toolbox programme.

 

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

putting people first - People are cared for and enabled to participate, celebrate and contribute to the community

 

The aim of the Toolbox parenting programme is to help parents create strong and healthy families, by providing them with a 'toolbox' of parenting education skills and strategies.  These skills enable parents to provide a safe, caring and nurturing environment in which to raise their family.  As parents' lives are transformed through receiving parenting education, neighbourhoods will also be transformed.  Over the six weeks of a Toolbox course, the participants often form connections and bonds that extend past the end of the course.  In this way, Toolbox courses have a flow-on effect that increases participation in and contributes to building strong communities.

Māori outcomes:

Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

The Building Awesome Whānau Toolbox course is designed specifically for Māori families.

It was developed in collaboration with Māori staff, Toolbox facilitators, educators, kaumātua, social service agencies and Māori families. This Toolbox considers needs, strengths, and socio-economic nature of Māori. The best evidence-informed parenting techniques and insights are presented in a way that is understandable, relevant and culturally appropriate.

Particular attention is paid to using appropriate and understandable language in all material.

Although designed for Māori it has proven to have appeal and efficacy with a wide range of vulnerable families. Our ultimate aim is that it will increase the number of at-risk families completing a parenting programme and reduce disparities in health and social outcomes within this sector.

 

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Toolbox parenting course are open and accessible to any parent seeking help and support.

 

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

 

Promoting SmokeFree:

Toolbox courses aim to put the wellbeing of Maungakiekie-Tāmaki families and young people first.  Toolbox participants receive messages about the importance of creating family values and living by them.  Through this process, parents are encouraged to examine their beliefs, habits, routines and home life and this often leads to a reduction in negative habits such as smoking and drinking happening in the home.

Requesting grant for:

If successful, a grant from the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board would be used to contribute towards additional fee subsidies for low income parents, course manuals, coordinator manuals and volunteer facilitator expenses.

 

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

If only part of our project is funded, we will still run Toolbox courses in Maungakiekie-Tāmaiki however we may deliver fewer courses than the number requested by the community and will not be able to offer as many subsidies as needed.

 

Cost of participation:

Toolbox course fees are subsidised by our fundraising - participants are charged $75 per individual and $110 per couple (incl. GST).  We often subsidise this fee further, sometimes up to 100%, if funding allows.

Community benefits

 

Identified need:

 

 

We have been involved in a pilot study through which we have established where there are accessible, existing classes and groups for people with mental health concerns and where there are a lack of opportunities, and what some of the barriers might be to accessing existing programmes.  The three programmes that will be included in the project are not currently well catered for in a way that is accessible for people who are recovering from mental health issues.  We have trialled pilot programmes to establish needs and interests, and found that they were well attended.  Some areas that we will target and address relate to establishing confidence through safe practices (eg. in cooking) and social abilities within different contexts.

 

Identified community outcomes:

 

 

Participants attending the programme will gain knowledge and skills which improve their wellbeing, confidence and social connection within the community.  They will have the knowledge and resources to create a healthier lifestyle through the topic areas of the project and will have benefited from the environment provided which is enhanced through the core principles of Kahui Tū Kaha services. This will lead to greater community confidence and participation.

 

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

putting people first - People are cared for and enabled to participate, celebrate and contribute to the community

 

Our programmes are based on the core principles of Kāhui Tū Kaha:  manaakitanga, enhancing the mana of others; rangatiratanga, supporting people's self-determination; and whakawhanaungatanga, establishing relationships, sense of belonging, family connections and kinship.  Our project is to further develop selected programmes that have been piloted and proven successful, in order to create greater opportunities for skill development, subject knowledge and community connection, leading to community confidence, integration and greater wellbeing.  Three programmes are targeted for development:  "Cooking: Around the World Healthy Eating - Levels 1 and 2",  "Oranga: Organic Gardening and Recycling", and  "Living the Vision: Tūruapō Tumeke - personal development, health topics and pre-employment skills".  Programmes in the project will be based in Onehunga, Royal Oak, and Glen Innes/ Panmure.  Participants in the programmes of the project will be adults 18 years and over who have mental health needs ranging from mild to significant.  Referral will take place through ADHB Community Mental Health facilities of Manaaki House, Cornwall House, Loto Fale and Manawanui; and through our multi-team referral process.  Others will be self-referring under their GP, as anyone over 18 years is eligible to attend to improve their holistic wellbeing.  People who attend our programmes find existing community programmes inaccessible without support.  Barriers can include lower functioning cognition and coordination due to symptoms and medication; social anxiety, lack of finance, and lack of confidence in abilities.  Our project will provide greater adherence in pathways that lead to full on-going participation and inclusion.

Māori outcomes:

Māori led - either a Māori organisation that is applying or Māori directed (came about as a request from Māori).

We are an iwi organisation and all of our programmes are delivered using Māori frameworks and kaupapa.  This includes Māori practices of karakia, waiata, manaakitanga, rangatiratanga and whakawhanaungatanga within the course of our sessions, and use of Te Whare Tapa Wha model of health.  Approaches used are based on the research of Dr Mason Durie and other Māori health researchers.  Two of four team members are Maori and the project leader has a bicultural upbringing and background.  We have access to ongoing advice from our Pou Tāhuhu Kaupapa Māori Development Manager, kaumatua and kuia within the organisation.  Our team have a proven record of assisting Māori people into fuller lives beyond our service, which has been documented in evaluations.

 

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Our primary client group includes people with psychiatric disabilities and have physical disabilities.  Venues chosen are accessible and we are inclusive of all people.

 *Please note regarding next question:  Ngāti Whātua have stated that they seek to use Kāhui Tū Kaha as a means of discharging their responsibility to manaakitanga to all people in their rohe.

Promoting SmokeFree:

Our team are all certificated in smoking cessation and the project leader is certified to prescribe nicotine replacement products.  Our organisation requires us to actively promote options to gain support in quit-line initiatives each three months with each person involved in our programmes.  The risks of smoking and the benefits of being a non-smoker will be included as a topic in the "Oranga: Wellbeing and Lifestyle programmes, as this is a natural fit.  In our focus on Te Whare Tapa Whā, the role of smoking in disease and benefits of being smoke free will be explored through each of the four taha.  Healthy smoke-free city environments will also be included as a topic.

Project: Supporting the Youthline Helpline

 

Location:

13 Maidstone Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland

 

Summary:

This application is seeking a contribution of $5,000 to the cost of operating the Youthline Helpline. Youthline is a first point of contact for young people in New Zealand to access a wide range of youth development and support services. In most instances that first point of contact is our national, free, 24/7 Helpline that is accessible by phone, text and email. 

 

The Helpline costs us over $500,000 per year to operate. It is staffed by 200 volunteer counsellors who are supervised by clinical triage staff. It is the most important thing we do. The Helpline operates from our Youth Development and Community Centre in Grey Lynn and is part of a national network.

Community benefits

 

Identified need:

 

 

Youthline has been supporting young people for over 48 years. The need for our services is well established and ongoing. 

Last year in the Auckland area we received an estimated 56,300 calls, texts and emails seeking support through our Helpline – with 2,300 being from young people in the Maungakiekie-Tamaki area. For those who contact us by text 1 in 3 present with mental health issues and 1 in 7 presents with suicide issues.

Youthline’s Helpline is part of an integrated, wraparound support service for young people in need. For many, picking up the phone, or sending a text, is a courageous act and the start of a journey to personal development and fulfilling potential.

 

Identified community outcomes:

 

 

For many of the vulnerable young people we work with the first contact point with us is through the Helpline.

 

We are then able to link them with the help they need. We offer support services and positive role models to encourage, motivate and inspire young people to reach their full potential and create a resilient community.

 

We offer a range of personal development programmes. We aim to equip them with skills and insights on how to build self-esteem and improve mental-health, how to actively problem-solve, recover from setbacks and build resilience. Through their improved emotional and self-management skills young people are more likely to be in education, training and employment.

 

We know that when young people feel connected to their community and valued by others they gain confidence and self-esteem.  This in turn provides them with the strength to make improved life decisions, to think about the long term and reduces risk-taking behaviour.

 

Youthline aims to provide all young people with skills and strategies to help strengthen and improve the relationships they have with the significant adults they interact with, i.e. parents, whānau and teachers. If we can do this then the community in which they live will benefit.

 

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

putting people first - People are cared for and enabled to participate, celebrate and contribute to the community

 

Young people in need who contact Youthline through our Helpline often feel lonely, alone, disengaged and desperate. They often have no sense of belonging to family, school or community. 

Over 48 years Youthline has been supporting young people in need.

The helpline is an early intervention service operating from a strengths-based, person centred approach. This approach is integral to the delivery of Youthline's Phone, Text and Email Helpline service. 

Youthline helpline staff respond to situations of low to high and imminent risk across all mediums of contact, providing a continuum of support and linking service users with other agencies in their own communities. Utilising and promoting Youthline's strengths-based, wrap around approach, Youthline staff are responsible for the quality assessment and management of clients (young people and their families), including those with high and complex needs.

Youthline services equip youth with skills and insights on how to build self-esteem and improve mental-health, how to actively problem-solve, recover from setbacks and build resilience. Counsellors link them with local support services to assist their ongoing development. Through their improved emotional and self-management skills young people are less likely to fall into helplessness, depression, addictive behaviours, dangerous relationships and unemployment.

Research shows that when young people are engaged in community activities, linked with whanau, and given the opportunity to feel that they are part of something and encouraged to reach their potential, that risk taking behaviour is reduced.  Youthline works inclusively with youth, from those young people who are most vulnerable to youth leaders who are championing change.  Our clinical support workers counsel/mentor young people identified as needing one on one support to encourage and inspire them.  They aim to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each young person, then identify goals and milestones and develop a plan for successful implementation and progression. By walking beside a young person and providing positive role models Youthline aims to see every young person become a positive contributor to society with a strong sense of belonging.

Requesting grant for:

Youthline requests funding of $5,000 towards the costs of our free crisis helpline support to young people in the Maungakiekie-Tamaki local board area.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

Yes, the show must go on. We are extremely proactive in applying for funding from a wide range of funders.

Project: NZ Chinese Environmental Education Programme

 

Location:

Summary:

To run a series of events with the following aims:

•           To educate local Chinese residents about the history of Panmure Basin (including Maori settlement) and to foster a sense of belonging through a connection with the area.

•           To promote the conservation and awareness of the urban shag colony in Panmure Basin; including education workshops on responsible fishing behaviours that will reduce the risks to these birds.

•           To conduct a beach clean-up at Point England with local Chinese residents and other community members, as well as an opportunity to learn about the life cycle of rare NZ dotterels/Pied Stilt and how residents can mitigate their impact on native shorebirds.

Community benefits

 

Identified need:

 

 

The Chinese Conservation & Education Trust along with the Tamaki Estuary Environmental Forum identified a strong need to enhance the awareness and participation of local Chinese residents in environmental issues. This ethnic group comprises over a quarter of the population in Maungakiekie-Tamaki ward, however they are frequently excluded from environmental initiatives through communication barriers. We aim to address these problems through a community-led platform that will encourage Chinese residents to become active participants in environmentally-friendly behaviours and community programmes. No one else that we are aware of is undertaking this work and through CCET we have the best outreach into this community.

 

Identified community outcomes:

 

 

1.         Our primary outcome is to build community spirit and harmony through fostering a sense of stewardship/kaitiakitanga for the environment – focusing in particular, on the Tamaki Estuary. Local Chinese will be encouraged to engage in environmental initiatives that will promote the healthy ecology of the waterways, terrestrial habitats, and the protection of our threatened shorebird species.

2.         To improve Chinese residents’ understanding of ecology, water quality, and conservation within a New Zealand context; this will help NZ Chinese to connect more with the wider community and share in the responsibilities of keeping our environment clean and green.

3.         To educate Chinese fishers on environmentally-responsible fishing behaviours that will mitigate their impact on threatened shorebirds – especially shags. Chinese residents enjoy fishing around the Tamaki Estuary, however sometimes their practices have a negative impact on shorebirds (e.g. consume hooks). By raising the awareness of important taonga species (like the shags) within the Chinese community we hope to improve their fishing experience, protect birds more effectively, and ease tensions within the wider community re appropriate fishing practices.

 

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

putting people first - People are cared for and enabled to participate, celebrate and contribute to the community

 

The Chinese community in Maungakiekie-Tamaki Ward comprises approximately one quarter of the population, with that number set to rise as immigration continues. This minority group - although a significant component of the community - often gets inadvertently excluded from environmental/ecological activities and discussions and is subsequently unable to participate or contribute to these issues. This is largely due to communicative barriers and a poor baseline understanding of environmental issues that affect our city.

This project serves to celebrate our Chinese community by helping them to understand some of the environmental issues that affect the Tamaki Estuary and Panmure/Point England area. By ‘Putting People First’ we will be able to encourage Chinese residents to actively engage with environmental initiatives, build interest in our fauna, and adopt eco-friendly behaviours that will help mitigate anthropogenic impacts on the local waterways and terrestrial habitats. It is important that as a community we champion the smaller ethnic groups to take on environmental challenges, because only together can we make real change.

Māori outcomes:

Māori focus - tikanga (practises), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

Many Chinese residents have a poor understanding of Maori culture and customs, this is largely due to the limited exposure they have to indigenous culture in day-to-day life. This project meets Local Board criteria by:

•           Providing Te Reo – Chinese translation of Maori history in the Panmure Basin area.

•           Promoting key Maori philosophies such as kaitiakitanga and the Maori World View, which have many crossovers with Chinese belief systems.

•           Improving Chinese residents’ understanding of Maori history in the area.

•           Promoting sustainability messages, with particular emphasis on Maori fisheries sustainability.

Identified need:

 

On the 14 April, 2018 we ran an inaugural event was a Huge Success with large number of attendance. Our patron, Donna Presley (First cousin to Elvis Presley) supported our event and encouraged and agreed (including all those who attended) to create a yearly event. Donna Presley will be attending the 2019 Event. Our youth and our older adults have also requested for a repeat show. There have been inquiries from New Zealand, Australia and England already by tribute artists requesting details of next years event. Word-of-mouth from other music clubs helped to spread the excitement and promote our show for next year.

Identified community outcomes:

 

*RSA - Benefits from patrons attending function, location and facilities will gain free exposure from holding the event.

Social and cultural interchanges between different age groups and nationalities

A social event brings the different communities together promoting social interaction, creates new friendships, physical, spiritual and emotional pleasure through dance and movement. 

Provides a source of income to small businesses who offer their services and expertise directly involved in setting up the show.  

The volunteers are a source of support for the event and gives them a sense of community involvement and purpose of belonging

Friends and families are directly involved in organizing and volunteer their time to run the show

Provides a new learning (skills) for judges, collators, scrutineers, emcee, volunteers, runners and the organizers in how to run a show of this magnitude and caliber.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

active participation - Our young people are engaged in the community and have access to a wide range of opportunities

 

Our project supports the selected priority as it is a family orientated show, held at an accessible and disability friendly venue.  

Being around other people helps the older person keep a positive outlook on life and a healthy mental state. For all peoples it reduces social isolation, reduces depression and promotes movement through physical activity. Our platform is an opportunity for the selected group to showcase their learned skills, build better self-esteem, and promote a feeling of accomplishment. A prestigious event gives people a sense of purpose in their daily lives, a positive feeling of belonging and contributing to a community. Socializing and partnering the older adult with our youth helps them to understand and embrace their similarities and differences, while encouraging learning about the other group.

Project: Project: Communities Without Violence

Location:

Summary:

Our Project aims to increase awareness on family violence within ethnic communities in the Maungakiekie local board area. Especially among new migrant and refugee women who have settled in the area and are often unaware of their rights. We will hold 3 dedicated workshops to increase awareness and discuss topics such as legal rights, safety, parenting in terms of forced and underage marriage not being acceptable in NZ. We also want to design multilingual resources (easy to carry leaflet) for participants which captures important information such as warning signs of violence and how to seek support.

Community benefits

Identified need:

 

According to the 2013 census carried out showing the ethnic diversity in the Maungakiekie local board area, there are just over 16,000 Asian, African and Middle Eastern residents in the local community. We believe this number would have and only continue to increase with Auckland becoming increasingly culturally diverse. From our 22 years of experience in the Family Violence sector, we have seen  the barriers to accessing support that ethnic migrant and refugee women face, including language, isolation and social stigma/family shame.Through this project we want to break down the barriers to access and positive participation in the wider community.

Identified community outcomes:

 

Increased awareness of family violence.

Another benefit would be the reduction of domestic violence and family violence within ethnic communities in the Maungakiekie local board area. Many cases go unreported as women stay in abusive relationships as there is a great lack of awareness of their rights, the NZ legal system and culturally competent services available to them. Reaching these women as new migrants/refugees is an effective way in bridging the gap and detecting family violence. 

We also want to be able to engage other community support agencies in the Muaungakiekie-Tamaki local board area to create a connected and integrated response system to family violence and increase prevention and safety measures.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

a safer community - Our community is a safer place

 

The project looks at the an approach to foster safer communities and address family violence before they escalate and result in violence. It specifically targets vulnerable new migrant and refugee women in the Maungakiekie local board area who are often unaware of the New Zealand legal system, their rights and support services available to them. Being equipped with information will mean that women who were experiencing violence in their home countries do not see a perpetuation of violence here in New Zealand. Creating greater understanding of safety and enhancing their ability to live and thrive in a safe local community.

Project: Help our toy library go paperless!

Location:

7 Harrison Road, Mt Wellington.

Summary:

As a toy library we are continually looking at ways to help the environment, we model this with the library focus of hiring toys, so our members purchase less toys, and don't usually purchase toys that aren't going to be well loved for a long time.  Currently we are wanting to go fully paperless, we need a way for our community volunteers to access the library database to check in toys and see details of a toy. Without a tablet we will use approx.. 120 pages of A4 paper a month printing receipts so members can bring these back to check. With the purchase of a tablet we can bring that number close to 0.

Identified need:

 

As mentioned above our toy library is always looking for ways to further help the environment and it seems like a good project for us to look to.

Identified community outcomes:

 

Within our community there will be less paper usage in our toy library. It will also mean that if we get a grant for this, it is a cost we do not need to pay for with our toy library budget, so we are able to keep our membership fees as low as possible, so it is affordable for our community and we keep our membership numbers at a suitable level.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

heading towards zero waste

Project: Whanau Against Alcohol Marketing – off-licence signage community audit

 

Location:

Off-licence premises across Maungakiekie-Tamaki local board area. Community feedback hui proposed to be held at Panmure Community Hall, 7-13 Pilkington Road, Panmure.

 

Summary:

Alcohol Healthwatch staff will conduct an audit of external signage at all off-licence premises throughout the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area, and then assess compliance with relevant regulatory frameworks, namely the Auckland Signage Bylaw 2015, Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act, and the Advertising Standards Authority Code for Advertising and Promotion of Alcohol.  

Staff will then produce a report detailing compliance and non-compliance in the Local Board area. 

Results will be fed back to Local Board members and community stakeholders, with a workshop held in the community.  

Community members will be empowered to recognise non-compliant signage (not just for off-licences) and to take appropriate actions to improve the visual amenity of their neighbourhoods.

 

Dates:

03/12/2018 - 30/06/2019

Rain dates:

 -

 

People delivering:

Three.  Nathan Cowie, Health Promotion Advisor at Alcohol Healthwatch will carry out the bulk of the work conducting the audit, analysis, and reporting.  Dr Grant Hewison, Solicitor for Communities Against Alcohol Harm will peer-review the audit report.  Dr Nicki Jackson, Executive Director of Alcohol Healthwatch will Chair the community feedback hui with assistance from Nathan Cowie.

People reached:

We would be very happy to reach an audience of 30-70 community stakeholders from across the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Area.

Promotion:

Once the data collection and analysis phase of the project is complete, we will be holding a community hui to disseminate the findings and encourage community stakeholders to take appropriate action.  We will seek to promote this hui with media coverage in local newspapers and newsletters, community notice boards, social media advertising targeted to the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Area, emails to community networks, and making use of any community communication networks available through the local board.

 

Community benefits

 

Identified need:

 

 

Alcohol advertising is pervasive in New Zealand society.  Unlike for tobacco, there has been little regulatory response to alcohol advertising.  A recent study by University of Otago researchers found children were exposed to alcohol advertising an average of 4.5 times per day, in settings including off-licence shop fronts (see Chambers et al 2018). Travelling around Maungakiekie-Tāmaki it is possible to see alcohol advertisements adorning signs and windows at licensed premises.  Many of these signs may be non-compliant with the Auckland Council Signage Bylaw 2015.  This project intends to test compliance, and empower community members to take their own actions to reduce the non-compliant signage in their neighbourhoods.

 

Identified community outcomes:

 

 

The first outcome of this project is to establish the degree to which external signage at off-licence premises do or do not comply with relevant regulatory frameworks.

The second outcome will be to present the findings to community stakeholders, and empower those stakeholders to take action on non-compliant signage identified in the Audit.

The third outcome will be that action is taken by licence holders or relevant regulatory authorities that results in greater compliance, and thus a reduction in alcohol advertising, and corresponding improvement in visual amenity in neighbourhoods.

Fourth, community stakeholders will be empowered and equipped to identify, and take appropriate actions regarding non-compliant signage at other locations, such as on-licence and club licence premises, and other locations.

 

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 

a safer community - Our community is a safer place

 

Alcohol and drug use has a profound effect on perceptions of community safety. Maungakiekie-Tāmaki has developed a comprehensive Alcohol Action Plan, together with a Safety Plan.  Maungakiekie-Tāmaki residents in 2011 identified a number of concerns with drinking and alcohol, with 79% of residents surveyed feeling that “violence, assaults, and fighting usually involves drunk people”, 71% agreeing that “we have a problem when it comes to drinking in our communities”, and 93% of residents thinking “numbers of small bottle stores are too high”.  While it is difficult to reduce the numbers of off-licences, some communities have had some success in preventing new bottle stores from opening.  

Alcohol outlets in a community give rise to harm through a variety of mechanisms or pathways. The more that alcohol is available in a community, the higher its prevalence of hazardous drinking and harm. Secondly, the clustering of outlets increases competition which can drive prices down and result in outlets staying open for longer to win the customer purchase. Thirdly, outlets can be a blight on the community landscape, in particular as a result of ubiquitous alcohol advertising. Such advertising can also normalise alcohol in a community, increasing the likelihood that a young person will start drinking, as well as drinking more heavily. Persons wishing to remain sober or have alcohol dependencies are also negatively impacted by an abundance of visual cues in relation to alcohol in their community.

Laws and regulations in New Zealand seek to minimise the harm from alcohol outlets in a community.  For example, Auckland Council has adopted its Signage Bylaw 2015 which seeks to minimise the harm from physical alcohol advertising signs. The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 prohibits advertising that promotes excessive consumption, and this includes mechanisms such as advertising discounts of 25% or more. Finally, the Advertising Standards Authority Code for Advertising and Promotion of Alcohol addresses the content of individual advertisements, such as those that may appear on the frontage of bottle stores or on billboards in the community.

We believe that the harm from alcohol can be minimised by ensuring that alcohol advertising in a community complies with the above codes, bylaws and legislation. However, we believe that there is a low level of awareness among the community of these relevant policies and laws. 

As such, this project proposes to audit the existing exterior signage at off-licence premises in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki local board area (Healthspace.ac.nz reports there were 48 off-licences in 2016), checking each instance of exterior signage against the above regulatory frameworks, and communicating the results of the audit back to community stakeholders.  Community stakeholders can then be walked through the process of recognising non-compliant signage, empowered to contact those responsible for non-compliant signage, and if necessary making complaints to the appropriate enforcement bodies.

Reducing the amount of alcohol advertising and promotion in the community will improve the amenity and good order of the community, and may have an impact of reducing the normalisation of alcohol in the community, and give young people (in particular) less encouragement to start drinking, or to drink heavily.

Māori outcomes:

Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

New Zealand research demonstrates that Māori children have exposures to alcohol advertising that are five times greater than European children (Chambers et al, 2018). In particular, the most common forms of alcohol advertising exposure among Māori children were alcohol sports sponsorship and off-licence shopfront advertising. Reducing the harms from off-licence advertising can therefore have positive, pro-equity outcomes.

 

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - We will inspect the venue to ensure it has appropriate access and bathroom facilities for wheelchairs.

 

Target ethnic groups:

All/everyone

 

Promoting SmokeFree:

Our project will not have a direct role in promoting smoke-free messages in the Local Board area. However, the outcomes of the project can contribute significantly to enabling a smoke-free Maungakiekie-Tāmaki community.

This is because alcohol use is closely associated with tobacco use disorders in New Zealand (Wilson et al, 2012). There is evidence that alcohol use impedes New Zealander’s quitting and increases the risk of relapse to smoking. 

As such, restrictions around alcohol advertising which lead to reduced alcohol consumption could in turn contribute to reduced tobacco smoking. These favourable outcomes could reduce inequities in life expectancy and morbidity.

 

Zero waste minimisation

No, this project will not be including waste minimisation messages.

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board

Trial of Online Voting at the 2019 Local Elections

 

File No.: CP2018/20801

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To seek local board feedback on:

·        the trial of online voting at the 2019 local elections

·        the subset of voters to participate in the online voting trial.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       The postal system is declining. The frequency of postal deliveries is decreasing and the cost of sending mail is surging. An alternative method to postal voting must be put in place to secure the future of local democracy over time. Following the overall trend of transactions and activities moving online, online voting is the natural progression. It will increase convenience and accessibility for voters and has the potential to increase voter turnout.

3.       Following the 24 May 2018 Governing Body’s in-principle support for an online voting trial at the 2019 local body elections, Auckland Council has entered into a collaborative agreement with eight other councils to work together towards the trial.

4.       The project comprises three phases. The first phase, from now to December 2018, includes a procurement process aimed at selecting a preferred provider and all participating councils, seeking their Governing Body’s approval to proceed with the trial based on a full business case.

5.       The security of the online voting solution is paramount. The participating councils are committed to offering a similar or higher level of security than postal voting. The solution will fulfil stringent security requirements and will be designed, implemented and tested with the assistance from external Information and Communications Technology (ICT) security experts.

6.       In the case of Auckland Council, only a specified class of electors (a subset) will be offered to participate in the online voting trial. The other eight councils are intending to offer online voting to all their voters. In all cases, voters will retain the ability to vote by post.

7.       The Local Electoral Matters Bill states that the specified class of electors can be defined according to one or a combination of geographical areas or another common factor, like overseas residence or disability.

8.       The size of the subset is still to be confirmed by the Minister of Local Government, but will likely include between 10 and 30 per cent of Auckland’s voting population.

9.       The subset needs to be representative of the overall voting population. Staff have conducted an analysis of the population across the 21 local board areas based on a range of criteria. The preliminary results (refer Attachments A and B) show that no individual area is perfectly representative and that a combination of several areas will increase the representativeness of the sample of electors.

10.     Staff recommend also including in the subset, the voters that are most disproportionately impacted in their ability to participate with the sole postal method, i.e. the overseas and disabled voters.

11.     This paper seeks local board feedback on the participation of Auckland Council in the trial and on the subset of voters eligible to participate in the trial.


 

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)      provide feedback on:

i)        the trial of online voting at the 2019 elections

ii)       the subset of voters to participate in the trial.

 

Horopaki / Context

12.     For several years, Auckland Council has been supportive of trialling online voting for local body elections. At its December 2016 meeting, the Finance and Performance Committee resolved to ‘request the Minister of Local Government to explore a pilot trial of an electronic voting system including by-elections’ [resolution number FIN/2016/164].

13.     On 27 July 2017, the Governing Body approved the council’s submission on the previous parliament’s Justice and Electoral Select Committee inquiry into the 2016 local authority elections (which has not concluded yet). The submission advocated for councils to be able to trial online voting [resolution number GB/2017/83]. Local boards provided feedback and input into the submission, with several boards expressing support for online voting.

14.     At its 24 May 2018 meeting, the Governing Body agreed in principle to an online voting trial for the 2019 local body elections, subject to the following conditions:

·        the costs being acceptable

·        the legislation and regulations being in place on time

·        identified risks being manageable

·        the council giving its final approval to proceed.

15.     The Local Electoral Matters Bill, which amends the Electoral Act 1993 and the Local Electoral Act 2001 to enable the conduct of trials of new voting methods is still before Parliament. Councillor Richard Hills and staff made an oral presentation to the Justice Select Committee on Auckland Council’s submission on the bill on 29 August 2018. The select committee is due to report back on 9 November 2018.

16.     The enabling regulations are being drafted. The Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) released an exposure draft of the regulations on 19 October 2018, which is open for consultation until 2 November 2018. Two engagement events for community representatives and stakeholders have been organised in Wellington on 26 October 2018 and Auckland on 31 October 2018.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

Why online voting?

Future-proofing local democracy

17.     The internet has become an integral part of everyday life. Many of the transactions that used to be carried out by post have long been replaced by online options, to the extent that people expect online facilities for their day-to-day activities. Online voting is therefore a natural progression and constitutes an opportunity to modernise the operation of local democracy in New Zealand.

18.     The current postal voting method relies entirely on New Zealand Post providing an effective and reliable service. It is a reality that the postal service is declining. Fewer New Zealanders choose to communicate via post, particularly first time and younger voters, many of whom have never posted a letter.

19.     The frequency of delivery is decreasing and the cost of sending mail is surging. The postal cost for the 2019 Auckland local elections will increase by an estimated 77 per cent compared with 2016, because of a postage price increase of almost 60 per cent and an increase in the number of electors of approximately 70,000.

20.     It will become increasingly difficult to deliver postal voting effectively and affordably. Therefore, it is crucial to have a viable alternative to postal voting in place, and online voting is the obvious choice.

Online voting has the potential to increase voter turnout

21.     Voter turnout has been dropping in both national and local elections in New Zealand. In the Auckland 2016 local elections, the voter turnout was 38.5 per cent. This means that almost two out of three eligible electors did not vote.

22.     Online voting has the potential to enhance participation in elections. Auckland Council conducted voter awareness research after the 2016 local elections[1]. The results strongly indicate that if online voting was available, electors would be more inclined to vote.

23.     When asked ‘If you had the choice of online voting or postal voting in the future, which would you prefer?’, 74 per cent of the respondents across all age groups in the 2016 survey said they would prefer online voting to postal voting. Focusing on the non-voter group alone, 82 per cent of respondents said they would prefer online voting to postal voting and 25 per cent said online or app-based voting would make them more likely to vote.

24.     The results reflect an appetite for online voting, particularly when faced with the inconvenience of postal voting: 13 per cent of non-voters (4 per cent of all respondents) completed voting papers but did not post them. Factors such as not knowing where to find a post box, the additional effort of physically taking papers to a post box and the confusion caused by the postal deadline and the actual close of the voting period a few days later, created further barriers to voter participation. Removing these barriers alone would potentially have pushed the overall voter participation in Auckland’s 2016 local elections from 38.5 per cent to 42.5 per cent.

25.     International experience and research demonstrates the positive effect that online voting can have on voter turnout. Some non-voters and infrequent voters are drawn to internet voting in Canada and European countries such as Estonia and Switzerland. This means that some electors who have not voted previously voted for the first time, or on a more regular basis, because online voting was an option.

26.     In Estonian parliamentary elections, turnout has increased by 2.3 per cent since online voting was introduced in 2005. Post-election surveys in Estonia show a large proportion of people indicated they wouldn’t have voted if online voting wasn’t offered.

27.     At the municipal level in Canada, researchers examining online voting over time found that internet voting increased voter turnout by 3.5 per cent.

28.     The introduction of electronic voting for overseas military voters in various United States (US) jurisdictions has resulted in significant improvements in turnout. In Cook County, one of the largest electoral jurisdictions in the US, turnout increased from 11 per cent to 53 per cent after the introduction of internet voting in 2012.

Online voting improves accessibility

29.     Currently, a large part of the disability community requires support to complete and post voting papers.

          People with vision impairment, for example, cannot vote secretly and without the assistance of a support person. Online voting, coupled with screen-reading technology, would allow them to vote unaided.

30.     International postal timeframes can make it difficult for overseas voters to submit their votes in time. For them as well, online voting would make it easier to participate in the New Zealand local elections.

Online voting offers a better voting experience

31.     Online voting will make the voting process easier and faster, increase the speed and accuracy of results and reduce costs of local elections over time.

32.     Estonia, where online voting has been used in elections from 2005 and is now well established nationwide, has attempted to quantify the efficiency gain for using online voting as opposed to booth voting. It calculated that, in the Estonian parliamentary elections of 2011, the cumulative time savings in online voting were 11,000 working days, or €504,000 ($890,000) in average wages.[2]

33.     Online voting offers the potential to reduce voter errors. Technology can help prevent a voter from accidentally spoiling their ballot or submitting an incorrect or invalid vote.

34.     International experience suggests that a real tangible benefit of online voting is to substantially improve the voting experience of voters, making it more convenient to vote when, where and how they want.

35.     Online voting also offers potential for greater information and engagement. It provides end-to-end verifiability so that a voter is able to verify that their vote was received. These benefits will improve the experience of those who were already intending to vote and has the potential of addressing some of the barriers for non-voters.

Booth voting is not a viable option

36.     Booth voting is provided for in the Local Electoral Act 2001 and is authorised under regulations. However, reverting to booth voting on a single election day as an alternative or complementary option to postal voting is not a viable solution.

37.     Election day is increasingly losing its meaning for people as they want the convenience to vote when it suits them, as shown by the growth in advance voting in recent years’ general elections, with a significant 47 per cent of advance voting at the 2017 general election compared with 29 per cent in 2014 and 15 per cent in 2011.[3]

38.     A third argument against using booth voting for local elections is the complexity of the local election voting process. Compared with parliamentary elections, voting in local government elections takes more thought and more time, making booth voting impractical.

39.     In Auckland for instance, electors need to vote for the Mayor, one or two councillors for their ward, between five and eight local board members, as well as District Health Board (DHB) members and, in some cases, licensing trust members. Using an actual example from the 2016 local elections, a Waitākere Ward/Henderson-Massey Local Board elector had to make a choice between 74 candidates standing for 21 positions, as follows:

·        Mayor: 19 candidates for one position

·        Waitākere Ward: nine candidates for two positions

·        Henderson-Massey Local Board: 24 candidates for eight positions

·        Waitākere Licensing Trust (Ward 2): six candidates for three positions

·        Waitematā DHB: 16 candidates for seven positions.

Making the trial happen

40.     To organise the trial, Auckland Council is partnering with eight other councils. They are Gisborne District Council, Marlborough District Council, Matamata-Piako District Council, Palmerston North City Council, Selwyn District Council, Hamilton City Council, Tauranga City Council and Wellington City Council.

41.     The nine councils have obtained in-principle political and executive approval to trial online voting at the 2019 elections, have formally entered into a participation agreement and have formed an Online Voting Working Party.

42.     The working party is working closely with the DIA to ensure the necessary legislative and regulatory framework is in place on time to enable the proposed trial in 2019.

43.     The working party is following a three-phase approach to organise the trial, as detailed below.

Phase 1 – July to December 2018

44.     The working party is currently developing a business case, which will define the scope and costs of the proposed trial, and explain how any risks to the security and integrity of the solution will be managed. The business case will also outline how the nine councils will share the costs of the trial.

45.     As part of the business case development, the working party issued a request for a proposal to potential suppliers in September 2018. Responses are being evaluated by a panel of representatives from the working party and ICT experts. A preferred provider will be selected by mid-November 2018.

46.     Based on the business case, the governing bodies of the nine councils will be asked to confirm their participation in the trial in December 2018.

47.     In the case of Auckland Council, the business case and paper seeking the approval of the Governing Body will be presented at the 13 December 2018 meeting and will include feedback from local boards.

48.     During this phase, the participating councils are also engaging with the parties that will be involved in the trial, including regional councils, DHBs and licensing trusts. Auckland Council staff have started engaging with representatives from all Auckland DHBs and licensing trusts. Overall, their reaction to the trial has been positive but the additional costs will ultimately be a decisive factor in securing their support.

Phase 2 – January to ‘go/no-go’ date

49.     After the list of participating councils has been confirmed, the councils will enter into an agreement with the provider and start developing the online voting solution.

50.     The trial can only proceed if the regulatory framework is in place on time, otherwise there will be insufficient time to be ready by October 2019. The working party and the supplier will agree the date by which regulations need to be in place for the trial to proceed – the ‘go/no‑go’ date.

51.     If the decision is ‘no-go’, the working party will negotiate with the supplier how to proceed. Options will be to either continue to develop a system to use for any by-elections, or shelve the work for a future trial.

Phase 3 – ‘Go’ date to October 2019

52.     If regulations are in place on time, phase 3 will include:

·        development, testing and audit of the online voting solution

·        deployment of the solution for the elections

·        evaluation of the trial after the elections. 

How it will work in practice

53.     Full details of how the online solution will work and how it will integrate with the election providers’ systems to ensure the integrity of the whole election process is maintained will only be available once the tender process is completed and a vendor has been selected.

54.     The chart below provides an overview of the experience of an elector choosing to cast their vote online:

Security and integrity

55.     No information technology (IT) or voting system is 100 per cent secure, but the Online Voting Working Party is committed to developing an online voting solution that will guarantee a similar or higher level of security than currently offered by postal voting.

56.     The request for proposal to vendors includes stringent requirements to ensure that the integrity and security of the online voting solution will be maintained at all times.

57.     The solution will be independently audited by international IT security experts.

58.     The participating councils are assisted by the former Chief Information Officer for the New South Wales Electoral Commission, which has been using online voting in their state elections, as well as ICT security experts from the Government Chief Digital Office. The participating councils have also enlisted additional external ICT security resources to assist with the evaluation of the vendors’ proposals and, in a later stage, with the design, implementation and testing of the online voting solution.

Selecting a subset of electors eligible to vote online

Why a subset, and what subset

59.     Any new voting system must meet the test of being free, fair and regular, provide for universal, equal and secret suffrage, and be fully trusted by voters. It therefore needs to be robustly tested and trialled.

60.     A trial will also increase public awareness of online voting and enable users to become familiar with the new technology, thereby building trust and credibility in the system. Building trust and gaining support is one of the most critical parts of the process. Without trust, the system will be unusable, and the integrity of the whole electoral system could be called into question.

61.     The Government considers that trialling online voting for the whole Auckland electorate, equalling approximately a third of the New Zealand electorate, is too big a risk. Auckland Council will only be allowed to trial online voting with a specified class of electors (a subset). Choosing a representative sample of eligible voters is therefore important to ensure that evaluation of the trial is robust.

62.     The other eight councils participating in the trial intend to offer online voting to all their voters. In all cases, voters will retain the ability to vote by post.

63.     The Local Electoral Matters Bill states that it is the regulations that will authorise the use of online voting by a specified class of elector for the trial. The bill defines a class of electors as:

·        an area or subdivision in which the specified class of electors is eligible to vote, or

·        any other characteristic that makes online voting suitable for the specified class of electors.

64.     The recommendation to the Governing Body will be to ask the Government that the subset of Auckland electors eligible to vote online be made of:

·        overseas voters

·        people with a disability

·        voters in specific local board areas.

Selection parameters for the subset

Size

65.     The first consideration for defining the subset is its size. The subset should be of reasonable size for implementation and risks to be manageable, but significant enough to enable testing, research and a robust evaluation.

66.     The initial thinking presented to the Governing Body was to include in the sample approximately 110,000 voters, or 10 per cent of the voting population. Estimating the potential uptake based on overseas experience with online voting, it is believed a maximum of 30 per cent of voters within the subset would actually use the solution and vote online. This means an online voting solution would be built for a potential 33,000 voters using the solution; only 3 per cent of the overall Auckland electorate.

67.     It is now being considered to increase the size of the subset to approximately 330,000 voters, or 30 per cent of the voting population. With the same estimated uptake of 30 per cent, approximately 99,000 voters would use the online voting solution; about 9 per cent of the overall Auckland electorate.

68.     Confirmation is pending from the DIA as to how large a subset the Minister of Local Government would allow Auckland Council to include in the trial.

69.     For comparison purposes, the other larger participating councils are the Wellington city and Hamilton city councils, with respectively an approximate 153,000 and 103,000 voters eligible to participate in the online voting trial.

Accessibility

70.     It is considered the trial should benefit those who are most disproportionately impacted in their ability to participate with the single postal method. Therefore, it is recommended having overseas and disabled voters as part of the subset. This group constitutes an estimated 30,000 voters.

71.     Because overseas and disabled voters will be enrolled across the Auckland region, they will potentially vote online for all the wards and local boards.

Representativeness

72.     The subset must be defined in such a way that it cannot call into question the neutrality and integrity of the electoral process or of the elections results.

73.     It needs to be representative of the Auckland voting population, based on a range of criteria that correlate with voter turnout. These include:

·        age

·        ethnicity

·        income

·        education level.

74.     Having a representative sample will also help conduct a more robust evaluation of the trial.

Other considerations

75.     The cost and ease of implementation of the solution must also be considered. The more voters take part in the trial, the higher the cost. Offering online voting as an option to a subset of electors will also require a targeted communication campaign. A complex subset will make communication and logistics costlier and has the potential to confuse voters. Therefore, it is preferable to avoid geographical areas where the boundaries between wards and local boards are no longer aligned, following the review of representation arrangements which is to be implemented for the 2019 local elections.

76.     It was considered whether internet accessibility needed to be a criterion. The most recent data available, which comes from the State of the Internet report released by Internet New Zealand in 2017, shows that 93 per cent of New Zealanders have access to the internet, either at home, work or both. Therefore, it is not a belief that internet accessibility will be an issue for Auckland, except for Great Barrier Island.

Selecting the geographic area(s)

77.     The council’s Research and Evaluation Unit (RIMU) has conducted in-depth statistical analysis of the population across Auckland’s 21 local boards. The analysis compares the population in each local board area against the overall Auckland population using age, ethnicity, income and qualification levels. The results of the analysis are included in Attachments A and B.

78.     The analysis considered the average voter turnout in each area compared to Auckland overall, but this added parameter did not impact the results, so it was removed from the graphs provided for simplicity purposes.

79.     The analysis shows that certain local board areas have a more diverse population make up than others, and that no single board is perfectly representative of the overall Auckland population. The subset will therefore need to be made up of a combination of local board areas, allowing larger discrepancies to cancel each other out and making the sample representative as a whole.

80.     The final combination will depend on the total number of voters allowed in the subset and will be finalised once DIA confirms that number.

81.     The final recommendation on the subset will be presented to the Governing Body at its 13 December 2018 meeting. As part of this paper, local board feedback is being sought on the possibility of this local board area being included in the final subset, to be reported to the Governing Body when they are considering the final recommendation.

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

82.     Trialling online voting will impact elections in all local boards areas.

83.     Local board feedback will be reported to the Governing Body for consideration when making its final decision regarding the selection of the subset and the continued participation in the trial.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

84.     Voting turnout has historically been lower among Māori than non-Māori. Māori who are younger and less well-off are the least likely to vote.

85.     Findings from a recent qualitative research project focusing on Pacific and Māori revealed that online voting was popular among a large majority of participants. Participants did not express concerns about online voting and some saw the solution as more secure than postal voting.

86.     A representative sample of the Auckland Māori population will be included in the subset to participate in the trial as Māori ethnicity is one of the criteria used to choose the geographic subset.

87.     At this stage, no formal engagement has been conducted with Māori groups and community.  Staff will engage with communities and stakeholders, including Māori, as part of the development of an online voting system should a trial be confirmed to proceed for the 2019 local elections.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

88.     The full costs of implementing an online voting solution will be known after the tender process is completed and a vendor selected.

89.     The budget for the online voting trial is not included in the long-term plan and will require approval from the Governing Body, as the financial decisions relating to election costs is part of its responsibilities. A business case detailing the costs and benefits of participating in the trial will be presented to the Governing Body at its 13 December 2018 meeting.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

90.     Risks and mitigation measures are covered in the analysis section of this paper.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

91.     Feedback from the local boards will be reported to the meeting of the Governing Body on 13 December 2018.

Local Government Elections 2019 - order of names on voting documents

 

File No.: CP2018/22175

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To provide feedback to the Governing Body on how names should be arranged on the voting documents for the Auckland Council 2019 elections.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       The Local Electoral Regulations 2001 provide a local authority the opportunity to decide by resolution whether the names on voting documents are arranged in:

·        alphabetical order of surname

·        pseudo-random order

·        random order.

3.       Pseudo-random order means names are listed in a random order, and the same random order is used on every voting document.

4.       Random order means names are listed in a random order and a different random order is used on every voting document.

5.       The order of names has been alphabetical for the 2010, 2013 and 2016 Auckland Council elections. An analysis conducted on these election results shows there is no compelling evidence that candidates being listed first were more likely to be elected. The analysis is contained in Attachment A.

6.       Staff recommend that the current approach of alphabetical printing is retained for the 2019 council elections, as the benefits to the voter outweigh any perception of a name order bias problem. 

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)      recommend to the Governing Body that candidate names on voting documents should be arranged in alphabetical order of surname.

 

Horopaki / ContextOptions available

7.       Clause 31 of The Local Electoral Regulations 2001 states:

(1)       The names under which each candidate is seeking election may be arranged on the voting document in alphabetical order of surname, pseudo-random order, or random order.

(2)       Before the electoral officer gives further public notice under section 65(1) of the Act, a local authority may determine, by a resolution, which order, as set out in subclause (1), the candidates' names are to be arranged on the voting document.

(3)       If there is no applicable resolution, the candidates' names must be arranged in alphabetical order of surname.

(4)       If a local authority has determined that pseudo-random order is to be used, the electoral officer must state, in the notice given under section 65(1) of the Act, the date, time, and place at which the order of the candidates' names will be arranged and any person is entitled to attend.

(5)       In this regulation,—

pseudo-random order means an arrangement where—

(a) the order of the names of the candidates is determined randomly; and

(b) all voting documents use that order

random order means an arrangement where the order of the names of the candidates is determined randomly or nearly randomly for each voting document by, for example, the process used to print each voting document.

Previous elections

8.       In 2013, the council resolved to use alphabetical order of names. A key consideration was an additional cost of $100,000 if the council chose the random order.

9.       In 2016, there was only a minimal additional cost to use random order due to changes in printing technology. An analysis of the 2013 election results was conducted to assess whether there were any effects due to being listed first. The analysis showed there was no compelling evidence of bias towards those listed first. Most local board feedback was to continue listing candidates alphabetically and the Governing Body resolved to use alphabetical order.

10.     All district health boards (DHBs) in the Auckland Council area decided to use random order of names. In the voting pack that Auckland electors received, voting documents for Auckland Council elections were alphabetical and voting documents for district health board elections were random.

11.     The following table shows the order decided by city and regional councils for the 2016 elections:

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

Options for 2019

Pseudo-random order and random order

12.     Random order printing removes the perception of name order bias, but the pseudo-random order of names simply substitutes a different order for an alphabetical order. Any perceived first-name bias will transfer to the name at the top of the pseudo-random list. The only effective alternative to alphabetical order is random order.

13.     A disadvantage to both the random printing options is voter confusion, as it is not possible for the supporting documents (such as the directory of candidate profile statements) to follow the order of a random voting paper. Making voting more difficult carries the risk of deterring the voter from taking part.

Alphabetical order

14.     The advantage of the alphabetical order printing is that it is familiar and easier to use and understand. When there is a large number of candidates competing for a position, it is easier for a voter to find the candidate the voter wishes to support if names are listed alphabetically.

15.     It is also easier for a voter if the order of names on the voting documents follows the order of names in the directory of candidate profile statements accompanying the voting document. The directory is listed in alphabetical order. It is not possible to print it in such a way that each copy aligns with the random order of names on the accompanying voting documents.

16.     The disadvantage of alphabetical printing is that there is some documented evidence, mainly from overseas, of voter bias to those at the top of a voting list.

Analysis of previous election results

17.     An analysis of the council’s election results for 2010, 2013 and 2016 is contained in Attachment A. It shows that any bias to those at the top of the voting lists is very small. The analysis looked at:

·        impact on vote share (did the candidate at the top of the list receive more votes than might be expected?)

·        impact on election outcome (did being at the top of list result in the candidate being elected more often than might be expected?).

18.     The analysis shows that for local boards, being listed first increased a candidate’s vote share by approximately 1 percentage point above that which would be statistically expected if voting was random. There was no detectable impact of being listed first on the share of votes received in ward elections.

19.     There is no compelling evidence that candidates being listed first were more likely to be elected in the last three elections.

20.     Staff recommend that the current approach of alphabetical printing is retained for the 2019 council elections, as the noted benefits to the voter outweigh any perception of a name order bias problem that statistical analysis of previous election results show does not exist. 

Online voting

21.     Auckland Council intends to offer online voting to specified classes of electors for the 2019 elections, which is the subject of a separate report on this agenda. An online voting solution has the potential to improve the voting experience, even if names are ordered randomly.

22.     Online voting should present the same voting document to users as the paper equivalent. If names are in random order on the voting document, then the same random order will need to be presented to the online user. This could increase the complexity of the voting solution.

23.     On balance, staff consider that alphabetical order of names is preferable for an online voting trial.

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

24.     Feedback from local boards will be reported to the Governing Body when the Governing Body is asked to determine the matter by resolution.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

25.     The order of names on voting documents does not specifically impact on the Māori community. It is noted that candidates can provide their profile statements both in English and Māori.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

26.     There are no financial implications associated with the options for order of names.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

27.     If names are ordered alphabetically, there is the risk of perceived bias. If names are randomised, there is the risk of increasing the complexity of the voting experience and deterring voters. The statistical analysis that has been conducted shows that the risk of bias is very small.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

28.     The feedback from the local board will be reported to the Governing Body.

Auckland Regional Pest Management Plan consultation feedback and recommended changes

 

File No.: CP2018/21012

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To receive a summary of consultation feedback from local board residents on the Proposed Regional Pest Management Plan, and to provide feedback on recommended changes to the document.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       Auckland Council is currently developing a new Regional Pest Management Plan. This plan is prepared under the Biosecurity Act 1993, and describes the pest plants, animals and pathogens that will be managed in Auckland. It provides a framework to minimise the spread and impact of those pests and manage them through a regional approach. Once operative, the Regional Pest Management Plan will provide a regulatory framework to support the council’s biosecurity activities, including those funded through the natural environment targeted rate.

3.       The Proposed Regional Pest Management plan was approved for public consultation by the Environment and Community Committee in November 2017 (resolution numbers ENV/2017/161 to ENV/2017/167) and consulted on in February and March 2018 alongside the Long-term Plan 2018-2028.

4.       A workshop was held with the board on 18 September 2018 to discuss the consultation feedback and proposed staff responses.

5.       Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board residents provided 51 submissions on the plan, representing four per cent of overall submissions. The views of local board residents were similar to regional views, with high levels of support across all topics excluding the addition of cats as a pest. The extent of cat control resulting from the plan is likely to be less extensive than the concerns noted in many submissions. Staff are exploring options to mitigate submitter concerns in the wording of the final plan.

6.       This report requests the board’s formal feedback on recommended changes to the Proposed Regional Pest Management Plan arising from key submission themes. Submission themes and corresponding changes are summarised in Attachment A.

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)      receive a summary of consultation feedback from Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board residents on the Proposed Auckland Regional Pest Management Plan.

b)      provide feedback on the recommended changes to the Proposed Regional Pest Management Plan based on consultation feedback.

 

Horopaki / Context

7.       Auckland Council is currently reviewing its 2007 Regional Pest Management Strategy. The new Regional Pest Management Plan will prescribe council’s approach to pest management to reflect best practice and changes to various pest plants and animals in the Auckland region. The review is also in direct response to, and compliant with, the National Policy Direction for Pest Management 2015.

8.       The review of the Regional Pest Management Plan began with an issues and options paper discussed with elected members, followed by a public discussion document which was used as a basis for engagement with mana whenua, stakeholders and elected members.

9.       At its November 2017 meeting, the Environment and Community Committee approved the proposed Regional Pest Management Plan for public consultation alongside the Long-term Plan 2018-2028 (resolution numbers ENV/2017/161 to ENV/2017/167).

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

10.     Consultation on the proposed Regional Pest Management Plan took place in February to March 2018 alongside consultation on the Long-term Plan and other statutory planning documents. A total of 1,262 submissions were received, which represents a significant increase on the approximately 400 submissions that were received on the 2015 discussion document. The breakdown by submission type is shown in Table 1 below.

13.     In addition to the eight themed questions covered in Table 3, a further open-ended question elicited responses about a wide range of other topics covered in the proposed plan.

14.     The most commonly raised topic in the open-ended question was the issue of cat management. A wide range of views on this topic were expressed, including requests for increased cat management beyond that in the proposed plan. The majority of submissions on this topic voiced concerns about cats being included as pests. These submitters cited animal welfare issues and concerns that domestic cats throughout Auckland would be at risk under the proposed plan. Staff are exploring options for mitigating these concerns, which in many cases reflect a perception of more extensive cat control than was envisaged in the plan. Options for mitigating concerns include clarifying the spatial extent of the proposed approach in the final plan, and alternatives to the use of the term ‘pest cat’.

15.     Staff have worked through submissions to determine any changes to be recommended for the final plan. Attachment A identifies key themes where amendments to pest management programmes in the proposed plan were sought by submitters, along with proposed staff responses. Feedback themes have been grouped according to the questions in Table 3 (above), along with an ‘other’ category to capture feedback related to other topics.

16.     This report seeks formal feedback from the board at its November 2018 business meeting on the recommended changes to the Proposed Regional Pest Management Plan in response to consultation feedback.

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

17.     During engagement on the issues and options paper and wider public consultation on the discussion document, key issues were raised in relation to cats, possums, widespread pest plants, and the ban of sale of some pest species. In addition to these regional issues, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board provided feedback on locally specific issues of importance to the area, including pigeons, weeds on council land, rabbits, and the importance of education around pests.

18.     Proposed approaches to be taken in relation to these issues were workshopped with the board in June 2017. At its August 2017 business meeting the board provided formal feedback on these proposed management approaches. A copy of this feedback is appended in Attachment C.

19.     A recent workshop with the board was held on 18 September 2018 to discuss the consultation feedback and the recommended amendments to the plan, as set out in Attachment A.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

20.     Section 61 of the Biosecurity Act requires that a Regional Pest Management Plan set out the effects that implementation of the plan would have on the relationship between Māori, their culture, their traditions and their ancestral lands, waters, sites, maunga, mahinga kai, wāhi tapu, and taonga.

21.     Engagement has been undertaken with interested mana whenua in the Auckland region during development of the plan, and formal submissions were received from the mana whenua groups listed below. In addition, staff are working closely with mana whenua on the development and implementation of a range of biosecurity programmes, providing opportunities for mana whenua to exercise kaitiakitanga, through direct involvement in the protection of culturally significant sites and taonga species.

·        Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum

·        Te Kawerau ā Maki

·        Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua

·        Te Uri o Hau

·        Te Tira Whakamātaki - Māori Biosecurity Network

22.     Submissions were largely supportive of the approaches set out in the proposed plan, and key themes noted in feedback from mana whenua included:

·        the need to enhance rather than protect ecosystem function and resilience

·        the need to recognise ecological value outside Significant Ecological Areas

·        the need to identify performance measures to enable people to readily evaluate success

·        the need to adopt management strategies that incentivise good management approaches

·        the importance of community education and involvement in pest management

·        mana whenua participation in pest management in collaboration with Auckland Council.

23.     Staff have prepared a summary of mana whenua feedback, including proposed staff responses. This document will be circulated to mana whenua submitters for their consideration in November and December 2018. This content will be included in the final submission summary that is reported to the Environment and Community Committee in March 2019, alongside the final plan. This content will be made available to all local boards prior to the committee meeting.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

24.     The Proposed Regional Pest Management Plan presents a major change in pest management in Auckland, and therefore requires a significant increase in investment. As part of consultation on the Long-term Plan 2018-2028, the council sought community views on two options for increased investment in the natural environment funded by a targeted rate.

25.     On 31 May 2018 the Governing Body approved the introduction of a natural environment targeted rate to raise $311 million for environmental initiatives. These initiatives include addressing kauri dieback and targeted ecological protection (resolution GB/2018/91).

26.     This level of investment allows substantial (approximately 80 per cent), but not full, implementation of the Proposed Regional Pest Management Plan. Some changes to the proposed plan will be made to fit the funding envelope, most notably reducing the spatial extent of parks supported by pest plant control in buffer zones, and removing the moth plant good neighbour rule from the Hauraki Gulf Islands. These changes are addressed in further detail in Attachment A.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

27.     There are no significant risks arising from the board giving feedback on the Proposed Regional Pest Management Plan at this time. However, if the board chooses not to give feedback this would create a risk that their views will not be reflected in the final Regional Pest Management Plan.

28.     If adoption of the Regional Pest Management Plan is delayed, this will create significant risks to the council’s ability to achieve targets for protecting native biodiversity, through effectively regulating the control of pest plants, animals and pathogens.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

29.     Attachment A has been prepared to facilitate local board feedback on the recommended changes to the proposed Regional Pest Management Plan.

30.     Staff will progress development of the final Regional Pest Management Plan in line with the process and indicative timeframes outlined in Table 4 below. A copy of the final plan and supporting information (including a full submissions analysis report and staff recommendations) will be provided to local boards for information prior to Environment and Community Committee adoption in March 2019.

Feedback on proposed topics for inclusion in the Auckland Water Strategy

 

File No.: CP2018/22293

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To provide formal feedback on the proposed topics for inclusion in the Auckland Water Strategy.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       Both freshwater and marine environments in Auckland are under pressure from historic under-investment, climate change and rapid growth. The Auckland Plan 2050 identifies the need to proactively adapt to a changing water future and develop long-term solutions.

3.       In response to these challenges, the Environment and Community Committee approved the scope of a strategy for Auckland’s waters at its June 2018 meeting (resolution ENV/2018/78). The strategy will provide strategic direction for the council group to meet the challenges and opportunities for improved management for water in all its forms. It will establish the outcomes needed for Auckland’s waters, as part of implementation of the Auckland Plan.

4.       Staff from across Auckland Council, Watercare and Auckland Transport have started developing the draft Auckland Water Strategy by first identifying Auckland’s water issues.

5.       A comprehensive engagement programme has also commenced. This has included mana whenua engagement through the Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum as well as separate workshops with operational kaitiaki.

6.       Staff have also attended workshops with all 21 local boards, the governing body and subject matter experts to present the progress of the strategy, and to introduce key topics to be addressed in the strategy.

7.       A draft discussion document is now being developed. This document will set out the key water topics, and propose a framework for the water strategy, for public feedback. 

8.       This report provides an update on the development of the strategy and requests formal feedback from the local board on the proposed topics for inclusion in the strategy (see Attachment A). A template to guide local board feedback has been included as Attachment B to this report.

9.       Feedback from local boards will be summarised as part of a report to the Environment and Community Committee in December 2018, seeking approval of a water strategy discussion document, ahead of public consultation from February to April 2019.

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)      provide feedback on the proposed topics for inclusion in the Auckland Water Strategy (Attachment A of the agenda report)

b)      note that local board feedback on proposed topics for inclusion in the Auckland Water Strategy will be included in a report to the Environmental and Community Committee in December 2018, seeking approval of the draft Auckland Water Strategy discussion document for public consultation in early 2019.

 

Horopaki / Context

10.     The health of Auckland’s waters is a significant issue. Decades of pressure have had negative impacts on water quality, and on freshwater and marine environments. This pressure will continue to increase if changes are not made to the way that water is valued and managed. Population growth and climate change will further amplify the challenges, with greater demand for water services, and an increased risk of flooding and coastal inundation.

11.     The Auckland Plan notes a key challenge of ‘environmental degradation’ and identifies the need to proactively adapt to a changing water future and develop long-term solutions (focus area five of the Auckland Plan’s environment and cultural heritage outcome). Other focus areas of the Auckland Plan speak to the need to future-proof Auckland’s infrastructure, make sustainable choices, and fully account for past and future impacts of growth.

12.     The Environment and Community Committee agreed to the development of the Auckland Water Strategy at its 12 September 2017 meeting. The committee noted that water is often described and managed in categories, such as stormwater, wastewater and drinking water. An overarching strategy for Auckland’s waters, in all their forms, was identified as a way of ensuring the full range of desired outcomes for water are defined and achieved in an integrated way.

13.     Several drivers give weight to the timely development of this strategy. These include heightened public awareness of water quality risks, and strong support from the public for improvements to water quality through the ten-year budget, central government initiatives (such as the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management and the Department of Internal Affairs review of three waters outcomes) and the need to update existing strategies due to significant population growth. It also responds to mana whenua aspirations surrounding te mauri o te wai.

14.     Since the strategy’s initiation in September 2017, staff have undertaken preliminary analytical work and engagement across the council group. This includes resolving the intersection of the strategy with the section 17A three waters review, mapping the council group’s current water-related activities, and analysing the public feedback on the proposed Auckland Plan and 10-year budget.

15.     An extensive local board and mana whenua engagement programme has been undertaken. In September and October 2018, staff presented the proposed topics to be addressed through the water strategy to all 21 local boards. Mana whenua have been engaged at both a governance and operational level. The Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum provided strategic direction while operational kaitiaki provided direction on the values. Subject matter experts from across the council group, local boards and the governing body have also provided feedback on the key topics.

16.     This report provides a progress update on the development of the strategy, and also provides an opportunity for the local board to provide formal feedback on the proposed topics for inclusion in the strategy (Attachment A).

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

Purpose and proposed topics for inclusion in the Auckland Water Strategy

17.     The Auckland Water Strategy will provide strategic direction for the council group in how meet the challenges and opportunities for improved water management. It is expected that the strategy will define the approaches taken around water in other strategies and plans as they are subsequently developed and reviewed.

18.     The proposed topics for inclusion in the Auckland Water Strategy (see Attachment A) were developed through the review of the existing policies and strategies, and through a series of workshops and discussions with staff from Auckland Council family, including Watercare and Auckland Transport.

19.     Attachment A describes the current strategic context, purpose, vision, values, issues, processes and principles that are proposed to inform the development of the discussion document for the draft Auckland Water Strategy.

Request for local board feedback

20.     Further to the workshops held with local boards in September and October 2018, local boards are formally requested to provide feedback on the draft topics for inclusion in the Auckland Water Strategy, ahead of the Environment and Community Committee’s consideration in December 2018. Attachment B provides a template to guide local board feedback.

21.     The draft vision for inclusion in the Auckland Water Strategy is ‘Te mauri o te wai – the life supporting capacity of water – is protected and enhanced’. Local boards are requested to provide feedback on whether this vision is right for the communities they represent.

22.     The draft values for inclusion in the strategy are detailed below. Local boards are requested to provide feedback around whether these values cover the aspects of water that are most important to the boards:

·    ecology

·    water use

·    culture

·    recreation and amenity

·    resilience.

23.     The draft issues to be addressed through the strategy are detailed below. Local boards are requested to provide feedback on whether these categories capture the issues that are of greatest concern to them:

·    cleaning up our waterways

·    meeting future water needs

·    growth in the right places

·    adapting to a changing water future.

24.     The draft processes to be worked on through the strategy are detailed below. Local boards are requested to provide feedback on whether these categories capture the processes that they are most concerned with:

·    creating our water future together

·    setting priorities for investment

·    achieving net benefits for catchments

·    applying a Māori world view.

25.     The draft principles to be included in the strategy are detailed below. Local boards are requested to provide feedback on whether or not they agree with these principles:

·    recognise that water is a taonga

·    work with natural ecosystems

·    deliver catchment scale thinking and action

·    focus on achieving the right-sized solutions with multiple benefits

·    work together to plan and deliver better water quality outcomes

·    look to the future.

26.     As the development of the strategy has progressed, it has become clear that it will need to be developed in stages. Many of the water challenges that have been identified require more analysis and public engagement before a strategy can be agreed. For this reason, the discussion document that is proposed to be released early 2019 will be focused on identifying and agreeing the water issues that Auckland faces within a proposed framework of vision, values and principles. From there, the governing body will be able to review and agree a staged programme that builds on the framework towards a final strategy.

27.     Local board feedback on the draft topics outlined in Attachment B will be summarised as part of the report to the Environment and Community Committee in December 2018, requesting approval of a draft discussion document for public consultation. A further update on the Auckland Water Strategy will be provided to local boards in February 2019.

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

Local impacts and local board views

28.     Local boards have a strong interest in improving water quality across the Auckland region and currently fund many local projects focused on restoration of local waterways.

29.     Staff attended a local board chairs’ meeting on 13 November 2017 to introduce the concept of the strategy and expected range of activities arising from the strategy. Board chairs indicated their interest in continued involvement.

30.     Staff presented the scope, summary and the progress on the strategy’s development to all 21 local boards between 30 August 2018 and 23 October 2018. Key themes in the feedback provided by local boards at these workshops included the need to:

·    acknowledge water as being a precious commodity that needs to be preserved as the population grows

·    increase the focus on the health of Auckland’s harbours

·    identify future drinking water sources

·    educate people around resilience, water usage, and the impacts of their activities on the environment

·    strengthen regulation and compliance to protect waterways.

31.     This report presents the proposed topics for inclusion in the Auckland Water Strategy, and seeks a formal feedback from the local board ahead of Environment and Community Committee approval of a discussion document in December 2018 for public consultation in early 2019. Key questions to guide local board feedback have been included as Attachment B.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

32.     Mauri (life force) is a fundamental concept of the Māori world view. The state of mauri is an indicator of overall environmental, cultural and social wellbeing. All water sources have an inherent mauri that can be diminished or enhanced.

33.     Enhancing the mauri of waterways is of key significance to mana whenua in their role as kaitiaki of Auckland’s waters. Early engagement with mana whenua to promote kaitiakitanga and embed mana whenua values into this work will be critical to the success of the actions outlined in this report.

34.     The development of the Auckland Water Strategy has been guided by the strategic advice provided by the Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Governance Forum. The forum has determined it will provide its own strategic advice, to ensure that core mana whenua principles and values are given the attention they need. The forum requested that one of their members be included on the governance group for the development of the strategy. This has been achieved with the Auckland’s Water Political Reference Group, and recognises the longstanding whakaaro and kōrero that mana whenua have provided on this kaupapa.


 

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

35.     The budget to develop the Auckland Water Strategy was included as part of the Long-term Plan 2018-2028. This budget covers operational expenses, primarily staff time, and will be used to support public engagement.

36.     The budget required to deliver any actions arising from the strategy will be sought through the Long-term Plan 2021-2031 process. 

 

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

Draft Contributions Policy

 

File No.: CP2018/21205

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To seek feedback from local boards on the draft Contributions Policy 2019.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       It is estimated that the Auckland region is short 45,000 dwellings to meet current demand for housing. A further 313,000 dwellings and work places to support 250,000 jobs will be required by 2050 to meet expected growth. To manage this growth the council has identified the:

i)        location and nature of growth - through the Auckland Plan and Unitary Plan

ii)       location and type of infrastructure required to support growth - through the Development Strategy and structure plans

iii)      when and where it will invest $7.2 billion of growth-related infrastructure in the next ten years to support development - through the Long-term Plan 2018-2028 (10-Year Budget).

3.       Growth related capex has risen from $5.1 billion in the Long-term Plan 2015-2025 to $7.2 billion in the current 10-Year Budget.  We have also updated our projection of development growth across the next ten years.  The council will repay the borrowing raised to pay for the investment in infrastructure through general rates, targeted rates, user charges, third party funding (like New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) subsidies) and development contributions.

4.       A review has been undertaken of the current contributions policy and the council has adopted a draft Contributions Policy 2019 (see Attachment A) for consultation which includes a number of changes.

5.       To recover the increased investment in growth related infrastructure the indicative urban development contribution price rises from around $21,000 to $26,000 (excl. GST).  As a result, the development contribution revenue the council expects to collect will rise to $2.7 billion from $2.23 billion under the current policy.

6.       The demand placed on transport by different types of development has been reviewed.  The analysis shows that retail and commercial development place substantially higher demand on transport infrastructure than is reflected in the current policy.  The draft policy includes higher unit of demand factors for transport, and hence prices, for retail and commercial development with smaller decreases for other development types.  This would more fairly reflect the demand different development types place on the need to invest in infrastructure.

7.       The draft Contributions Policy 2019 also proposes:

·        extending the timeframe for the payment of development contributions on residential construction.  This will better align the time that residential builders pay their DCs with the time when they sell their developments

·        refining and changing funding areas to better match investment with beneficiaries, including adding areas for:

i)    transport to reflect areas where significant local infrastructure investment is planned

ii)   reserves to provide more detail on projects and their location

·        minor amendments including changes to development types.

8.       Consultation on the draft Contributions Policy 2019 is taking place from 19 October until 15 November 2018 including:

·        Five have your say events held across the region

·        engagement with Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum

·        opportunity for submitters to personally present their feedback to councillors on 23 November.2018

9.       Local board November meetings will consider the draft Contribution Policy 2019 and resolve their feedback to inform the Governing Body’s decision making in December.

10.     Consultation is supported by a Consultation Document and Supporting Information, Attachments B and C respectively, which set out:

·        an overview of how the council is responding to growth and how development contributions fit within this context

·        describes how we set development contributions charges

11.     Details the key changes in our draft Contributions Policy and why we have proposed them.

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)      resolve feedback on the Contributions Policy 2019.

 

 

Horopaki / Context

12.     The current policy is known as the Contributions Policy 2015 (Variation A) and reflects the Long-term Plan (LTP) 2015-2025. Development contributions have recovered approximately $400 million of funding for growth projects in the last three years.

13.     Council reviewed the current policy and recommended that it be amended to reflect changes to capital expenditure in the 10-Year Budget. At its meeting on 30 April 2018 the Governing Body agreed to consult on the draft Contributions Policy 2019 in May 2018.

14.     Feedback from the development community requested more detailed supporting information and a longer period for consultation on the draft policy. In response, at its meeting on 27 June 2018 the Governing Body agreed to extend the current policy until 31 January 2019 so that additional supporting information for the policy could be prepared and further consultation on the 2019 policy undertaken.

15.     The policy has been reviewed in accordance with the following principles:

·        purpose and principles of development contributions under the Local Government Act 2002

·        equitable sharing of costs of growth between ratepayers, developers and other members of the community having regard to such matters as who causes the costs and who receives the benefits

·        equitable sharing of costs of growth between different types of development and different funding areas

·        revenue predictability for the council and cost certainty for developers

·        administrative simplicity

·        ensuring legislative compliance.

16.     Schedule Five to the attached draft Contributions Policy 2019 considers the appropriateness of development contributions as a funding source in accordance with the requirements of section 101(3) of the Local Government Act 2002. Our Revenue and Financing Policy sets out how the council will fund capital and operating expenditure for each of its activities including its decisions to use DCs to fund growth capital expenditure.

Contributions pricing

18.     The 10-Year Budget assumes that a Contributions Policy 2019 will be adopted reflecting the Revenue and Financing Policy position that growth-related infrastructure investment should be funded from development contributions.  The 10-Year Budget assumes that the policy will provide for DCs to recover $2.7 billion of the cost of the planned investment in growth infrastructure.

19.     The indicative urban DC will rise from around $21,000 to $26,000 (excl. GST).  DCs vary widely depending on the type of development and the infrastructure needed to support growth in different locations.

20.     Some infrastructure investments provide benefits across the region or respond to cost pressures driven by growth irrespective of location.  Under the proposed policy to recover these costs every development would pay $8,090 per Housing Unit Equivalent (HUE) for regional infrastructure.  However, the sub-regional and local requirements for infrastructure vary depending on the infrastructure required to support growth in that area and the capacity of existing infrastructure.  As a result, DC prices would vary across the region e.g.

·        Manurewa-Papakura - new DC price will be $42,182 to reflect increase in stormwater and parks investment

·        Manukau Central - new DC price will be $22,572 as there is capacity available in existing network infrastructure.

 

Impact of increasing DC price

21.     Raising the price of DCs:

·        better aligns DCs with actual cost of infrastructure

·        increases certainty that infrastructure will be delivered

·        encourages developers to more accurately price land purchased for development to reflect future DC costs

·        negatively impacts developers who have paid for land based on current DC prices.

22.     Economic research indicates that increasing the DC price does not generally increase house prices.  House prices are determined by the balance of supply and demand.   Development is only cost plus where the value of land for housing is the same as its value in alternative uses i.e. agriculture.  The price of land that can be developed for housing or business use in Auckland is much higher than its value in agricultural use.

23.     Developers generally establish the price they will pay for land based on:

Expected sale price of finished house (as set by the market – supply and demand)

-    Land development costs

-    Construction costs

-    Council cost including DCs

-    Profit margin

=   Price paid for land

Alternative options considered

24.     There are two alternatives to the proposed increase in development contributions;

·        defer or halt planned capital projects supporting growth

·        increase ratepayer funding of these projects.

25.     The increase in development contributions price over period of the 10-Year Budget is forecast to provide an additional $500 million of revenue.  Without this revenue the council would need to reduce its planned capital expenditure by between $1 billion and $4 billion depending on which projects were prioritised.  This sum exceeds the loss in revenue because development contributions make up varying proportions of the funding of individual projects[4].  This option was not adopted as these investments are vital to:

·        maintaining service levels in the face of growth pressures

·        supporting making land available for new development in both the greenfields and brownfields.

26.     To maintain the planned level of investment without increasing development contributions would require an increase in rates funding of between $50 million and $200 million per annum.  This is equivalent to an additional general rates increase of between 3 and 13 per cent.  Land owners, developers and the owners of new construction are the beneficiaries of the portion of investment in infrastructure that supports growth.  This option was not proposed as it is appropriate that the growth share of funding comes from the beneficiaries via development contributions not general ratepayers.

Possible legislative changes to funding of Community Infrastructure

27.     Central government has recently introduced the Local Government (Community Well-being) Amendment Bill which would restore the Council’s ability to use DCs to fund a broader range of community infrastructure (including, for example, public swimming pools and libraries).  If the legislation passes the council can consider changing its capital budgets and amending the policy to include the growth component of any qualifying expenditure.

Unit of demand factors

28.     Different types of development place different demands on infrastructure.  The council uses unit of demand factors to fairly share the cost of infrastructure across development types.

29.     Demand factors are set relative to the standard residential dwelling of between 100m2 and 249m2.  A standard residential dwelling is referred to as a household equivalent unit (HUE).  For example a retirement unit is charged 30 per cent of the rate for transport that a residential dwelling pays i.e. 0.3 HUE.

Non-residential transport

30.     Transport demand factors are calculated using data on the daily volume of trips generated from each development type.  For residential development the demand factor is adjusted for relative occupancy levels between residential development types.

31.     A review of the statistical trip generation data shows that retail and commercial developments generate substantially more trips than residential and other development types.  These results are consistent with officers’ experience of case by case analysis undertaken by the former councils of the transport impacts of this type of development.

32.     The transport demand factors proposed are set out in the tables below.  Because non-residential developments are usually larger than residential dwellings the demand factors are translated into HUEs per 100m2.

Units of demand per 100m2

0.37 HUE

Production and Distribution

0.29 HUE

0.10 HUE

Other non-residential not specified above

0.36 HUE

1.00 HUE

33.     These transport demand factors are comparable with those for other councils. Hamilton sets the rate for high demand non-residential at 2.75 HUEs (which includes retail) and Queenstown 2.83.  Christchurch and Wellington also use higher factors for commercial and retail development.

34.     The demand factors derived from the analysis above produce substantial price changes for retail and commercial development.  As this type of development represents a small proportion of overall development the price reduction for other development types is lower.

35.     As the transport component of DCs varies across the region based on the need for investment in each area the exact price effects will vary.  In broad average terms the DC transport price for retail will rise by $18,000 per 100m2 and $2,900 for commercial if the proposed demand factors are used in comparison to the current factors.  It will fall by $1,450 per 100m2 for production and $500 for a standard residential dwelling.  The impact is illustrated with examples based on two recent developments below

·        5,000m2 retail mall development in the North would pay $1.3 million under the proposed demand factors whereas they would have paid $224k under the current demand factors.

·        50,000m2 production development in the South would pay $410k under the proposed demand factors whereas they would pay $1.15 million under the current demand factors.

36.     Two alternative options to making the changes to non-residential transport unit of demand factors were considered:

·        retaining the status quo

·        move to the new factors in equal steps over a three year period.

37.     Retaining the status quo was rejected on the basis that the evidence clearly shows that transport demand is much higher for retail and commercial development than for other development types.  At present other development is effectively subsidising retail and commercial development.  Large developers operating nationwide will be aware of these differences in DC prices.

38.     As the price increases are substantial the council could consider a three year transition.  This option was rejected as it would extend the current subsidisation.  The price changes are substantial however the subsidisation is also large.  It is likely that developers operating nationwide will have been expecting this change for some time.

39.     It was also noted that a transition could create administration issues and present revenue risks that may be difficult to forecast.  Developers often lodge consents early when they become aware of pending changes to contributions prices.  A transition of this nature would create incentives for all development types around the staging of transitional price changes.  Retail developers may try to lodge consents prior to the date of changes and others may delay applications.  This is likely to have implications for both our revenue forecasts and our consenting and DC assessment teams.

Reserves acquisition, reserve development and community facilities

40.     The council’s unit of demand factors for reserves acquisition, reserve development and community facilities are based primarily on the relative occupancy of different types of residential development compared to a standard residential dwelling.

41.     Officers are reviewing the relative use of reserves and community facilities by the occupants of different residential development types.  Part of this review involves undertaking an extensive survey of usage of reserves and community facilities by Aucklanders.  To ensure this survey provides the best information it needs to cover Aucklanders’ use across seasons.

42.     The results of the survey are expected to be available early next year.  Officers will report the results of the review, including the survey data, in the first quarter of next year.  If the review suggests changes should be considered to the units of demand for reserves acquisition, reserve development and community facilities the policy can be amended at that time following consultation, if appropriate.

Remissions for Māori development and social housing

43.     The current contributions policy does not provide for remissions or waivers of DCs.  Feedback from Māori and social housing developers is that the requirement to pay DCs is an additional challenge to overcome that presents a further barrier to development.  Iwi have raised the many difficulties associated with developing Māori land, as well as noting their recent gifting of land for parks and the historic confiscation of land for public works.

44.     Officers do not recommend the use of DC remissions.  Support for Māori development and social housing is better made transparently from a fixed grant budget or considered on a case by case basis.  Grants enable the council to make decisions on the relative merits of individual proposals rather than automatically supporting or rejecting applications on predetermined criteria.

45.     The council currently offers support for DCs for Māori development through the Marae and Papakāinga grant made available through the Māori Cultural Initiatives Fund.  The policies governing the fund are currently being reviewed and will be considered by the Community Development and Safety Committee later this year.

46.     Council does not currently offer a regional grant scheme that enables funding of DCs for social housing.  The council’s position to date has been that social housing is a government responsibility.  However, the council did provide a one-off grant of $475,000 to the City Mission for the development of the HomeGround facility.  The grant was based on an estimate of DCs and consenting costs.  Officers recommend that if the council wishes to consider extending support for DCs for social housing then this should be through the development of a grants scheme as part of the Annual Plan 2019/2020.  A grant can be used to fund any development costs and not just council fees, as was the case with the HomeGround grant.

47.     DCs are set to recover the cost of planned growth infrastructure from developers. Any remission of DCs would reduce revenue. The loss of revenue from a remission scheme cannot be recovered from other developers as they are only required to pay the cost of the demand they place on infrastructure.  Remissions of DCs for some developers do not change the level of demand for infrastructure from other developers.

48.     Revenue would instead need to be made up by reductions in expenditure or increases in general rates.  Remissions administered under the Contributions Policy would need to provide for automatic trigger tests and hence an unconstrained budget.

49.     Further discussion of remissions for Māori development and social housing is set out in Attachment D.

Payment timing

50.     Developers prefer to pay development contributions as close as possible to the potential realisation of their investment e.g. sale of land or buildings.  The current payment timing for the main development types (other triggers make up a very small proportion of development contributions) are at the issue of:

·        land title for subdivisions – around one year before sale

·        building consent for residential development – around six to twelve months before sale

·        code compliance certificate for non-residential development – around time of sale.

51.     DCs invoiced on building consent for residential development are approximately 25 per cent of total DC revenue.  Residential developments are currently required to pay DCs when the building consent is issued. Officers propose to adjust the payment timing for residential developments as follows:

·        a consent that creates five or more dwelling units will be treated as non-residential development. This will allow the DCs to be invoiced at time the Code Compliance Certificate (CCC) is applied for. This will extend the time until council receives payment by an average of 12 months.

·        all other residential consents will be invoiced six months after building consent is issued.

52.     This change will support residential developers by better aligning the requirement to pay DCs with developers’ cash flows. Reducing the amount of capital investment required prior to construction will make it easier for developers to finance and progress residential projects.  This proposal formed part of consultation on the draft Contributions Policy 2019 in May and was supported by all of the 17 submissions that commented on it.

53.     The proposed changes will lead to a one-off reduction in the council’s DC revenue of $10 million for 2018/2019.  The council can manage this change within its present budget.  The change is not material over the 10-Year Budget period as all developments will still pay, just slightly later.

54.     The council includes the interest cost of the difference between the receipt of DCs and the timing of investment in growth related projects.  The cost of receiving DC payments on residential building development slightly later will be factored into the DC price.  The proposal will increase the DC price by between $100 and $200 (or less than 1 per cent) on average depending on the units of demand used for transport.

55.     Considered was also given to retaining the status quo.  However, preference was given to the easing of cash flow demands on residential builders rather than land developers focusing on subdivision and non-residential builders.  Residential builders are often operating at a smaller scale with more limited access to capital.  Providing them additional time eases their cash flow demands and supports the dwelling construction the council is seeking.

56.     Neither the proposal or the status quo present any risk to the council in terms of payment security.  The council has statutory powers to recover unpaid DCs, including registering a statutory charge on property where DCs have not been paid.  While the council has some aged DC debt this is a very small proportion of the DCs invoiced over the last 8 years.  In this time the council has written off less than $100,000 of DC debt out of $740 million invoiced.

57.     Two administrative changes are also proposed to payment timing and enforcement.  Developers who require a land use consent but cannot be assessed for DCs on a resource consent or building consent will be required to pay on land use consent.  At present non-residential developments are required to pay on issue of a code of compliance certificate (CCC) or certificate of public use (CPU).  Some developments do not require a CCC or CPU to operate and are avoiding payment.  It is proposed that all non-residential developments will be required to pay at the latest 24 months of issue of a building consent.  This provides sufficient time for developers to realise their investment whilst ensuring securing of payment for council.

Other proposed changes to the Policy

Funding areas

58.     The draft Contributions Policy 2019 includes seven additional funding areas for transport. These funding areas allocate the cost of transport infrastructure to the priority growth areas in Northwest, Dairy Flat/Wainui/Silverdale, Greater Tamaki and Albany, and transport infrastructure, solely, mainly road sealing, for the benefit of rural areas in the North, West and South.

59.     Changes have also been made to the funding areas for reserves to provide a more refined allocation of these costs to development areas.  The Greenfield, Urban and Rural funding areas have been replaced with Northern Greenfield, Southern Greenfield, Northwest Greenfield and Urban funding areas. As a result the DC costs better reflect the differences in investment required to meet the needs of future growth.  A new funding area has also been created for reserves and community facilities in Greater Tamaki to reflect the specific needs and plans for that area.

60.     Two new stormwater funding areas have also been added where investment is now planned Hauraki Gulf Islands and Omaha/Matakana.

Development Types

61.     Amendments are also proposed to the following development types to better reflect the demand they place on infrastructure or clarify definitions.  Maintaining the status quo for these areas was rejected to ensure an appropriate level of cost was recovered and reduce the administration costs associated with customer confusion.

Student accommodation

62.     Create a new ‘student accommodation units’ category for student accommodation (administered by schools/universities).  This category will have a lower price for transport and open space than a standard residential dwelling because of lower occupancy.

Small ancillary dwelling units

63.     Change the ‘size’ definition of small ancillary dwelling units to those with a gross floor area less than or equal to 65m². This aligns the Contributions Policy with the definition in the Unitary Plan to avoid customer confusion.

Retirement villages

64.     Amend the definition of a ‘Retirement Village’ to align with the Unitary Plan to avoid customer confusion.

Accommodation units for short term rental

65.     Amend the definition of Accommodation Units to clarify that they include properties used for short term rental.  Long-term rentals will continue to be treated as dwelling units.

A long-term view of growth infrastructure costs

66.     The 10-year Budget 2018-2028 includes over $26 billion of investment for Auckland including significant investment to support new development over the next 10 years. This investment is not, however, sufficient to enable all the future urban areas to be developed now or all of the intensification projects to proceed immediately.

67.     The proposed contributions policy seeks to recover a fair share of the infrastructure costs currently planned from developments that are enabled by or benefit from this planned infrastructure. In areas that already have sufficient infrastructure, or it is planned within the next ten years, the policy describes the contribution to the cost of this infrastructure that will be charged to different types of development.

68.     For areas where the infrastructure provision is not already provided or scheduled for the 2018-2028 period development cannot yet proceed due to the infrastructure constraints. We will continue to work on determining the cost and funding arrangements for the infrastructure required. The development charges for these areas included in the draft Contributions Policy 2019 do not yet fully reflect the true cost of providing infrastructure in those areas. For some of these development areas, particularly greenfield areas, the council infrastructure cost per house has been estimated at around $70,000. Once the costs and funding arrangements are clear growth charges will be updated to ensure they are paying their fair share when the areas are able to be developed.

69.     Limits on the council’s ability to borrow mean that additional investment, even if it is eventually funded by developers, would require new or alternative financing mechanisms. We continue to work on new ways to partner with others to build and finance infrastructure. If we can do this successfully this will enable more development areas to be supported earlier.

Public Consultation

70.     Public consultation will run from 19 October to 4pm on 15 November.

71.     Five Have Your Say Events (HYSE) have been planned to take place during the public consultation period:

·        South - Manukau

·        North - Takapuna

·        Central – CBD

·        Retirement village developers - CBD

·        Western Springs Garden Hall (evening).

72.     The location and timing of HYSE are scheduled to provide for developers and the public to engage with the council at locations and timings organised to suit their needs and preferences.  These five HYSE events provide an opportunity for developers and other interested parties to learn more about the draft policy and provide feedback.  All comments will be captured and reported through to the Finance and Performance Committee to help inform decision-making on the final policy.

73.     It is planned to ask those providing written feedback if they would like to register their interest in personally presenting their feedback to councillors on Friday 23 November.  This will provide time for 30 presentations allowing 15 minutes for each presentation including questions.  Seventeen submitters expressed an interest to be heard following the May consultation.  The invitation will note that it may not be possible to make time to hear everyone if the event is over-subscribed given the need to manage costs and limitations on councillors’ available time.  If necessary, slots would be allocated on a “first come, first served” basis.

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

74.     The DC price varies by location depending on the cost of infrastructure required to support development in an area. The funding areas are set out in the attached policy documents.

75.     Officers provided briefings on the draft Contributions Policy 2019 to local board cluster meetings in October. 

76.     Local boards have a statutory responsibility for identifying and communicating the interests and preferences of the people in its local board area in relation to the context of the strategies, policies, plans, and bylaws of Auckland Council. This report provides an opportunity for the local board to give input on the draft Contributions Policy 2019.

77.     Local board decisions and feedback are being sought in this report to inform the Governing Body’s consideration of the adoption of the Contribution Policy 2019 in December.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

78.     Council does not hold information on the ethnicity of developers.  The impact on Māori will be similar to the impact on other developers.

79.     Feedback from Māori received in the May consultation has been considered as part of the development of the revised draft Contributions Policy 2019. Key issues raised were that the Contributions Policy should:

·        reflect the Auckland Plan 2050 outcome to support Māori identify and wellbeing, for example by exempting (remitting) DCs for Māori developments 

·        include specific development types for Māori development.

80.     The remission of DCs for Māori development is discussed in this report.

81.     Development types are created based on evidence that different types of development generate different levels of demand for infrastructure. The policy does not currently contain specific Māori development types. Māori developments are categorised under broader development types based on the demand they generate. For example, kaumātua housing is treated the same as retirement villages, and marae fall under community facilities. As more Māori developments occur, evidence of demand generation can be used to reclassify developments or create new development types.

82.     Māori have expressed aspirations for their land that includes new forms of development that may not fit into existing development types. Legislation provides for the reconsideration of DC assessments for individual developments where evidence is available to show that the demand it will generate is less than its classification under the existing policy. Council also proactively reviews the availability of evidence for demand, and amends the Contributions Policy for new or adjusted development types and demand factors as evidence becomes available.  Council will continue to work with Māori to ensure that the Contributions Policy, in its design and its application, appropriately reflects the realities of Māori development.

83.     Feedback from iwi on the draft Contributions Policy 2019 will be sought as part of public consultation and via engagement with the Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum.  Mana Whenua will also be invited to present their feedback to the councillors through the formal engagement for stakeholders referred to in the public consultation section above.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

84.     The financial implications are set out in the report.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

85.     Investment in DC funded growth related infrastructure carries the risk of development projections, and therefore DC revenue, not being met. These risks will be managed through monitoring consent applications and DC revenue.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

86.     Public consultation on the draft Contributions Policy 2019 is to be held from 19 October to 15 November 2018 as above.  Feedback would be reported to the Governing Body workshop on 29 November.  Officers would report on adoption of the final policy to the 13 December meeting of the Governing Body.

Disposal recommendations report - 22 and 28A Waipuna Road, Mt Wellington

 

File No.: CP2018/19084

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       This report seeks the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board’s endorsement for Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) to recommend to the Finance and Performance Committee the disposal of two council owned properties in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       22 and 28A Waipuna Road, Mt Wellington are residential properties that were acquired for transport purposes.  The properties are no longer required for this purpose.  The rationalisation process commenced in September 2018.  Consultation with council and its CCOs, iwi authorities and the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board has now taken place.  No current or future council service use has been identified for both properties through the rationalisation process.  Both properties have been identified by Panuku as suitable for disposal for strategic development (housing) outcomes.  As such, Panuku recommends that they be divested.

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)      endorse Panuku Development Auckland’s recommendation to the Finance and Performance Committee to dispose of 22 and 28A Waipuna Road, Mt Wellington.

 

Horopaki / Context

3.       Panuku is required to undertake ongoing review of council’s property assets. This includes identifying properties from within council’s portfolio that are no longer required for council service uses and may be suitable for sale and development if appropriate. Panuku has a particular focus on achieving housing and urban regeneration outcomes. Identifying potential sale properties contributes to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 and the Auckland Plan focus of accommodating the significant growth projected for the region over the coming decades, by providing council with an efficient use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities and projects.

4.       Once a property has been identified as potentially no longer required for council service purposes, Panuku engages with council departments and its CCOs through an expression of interest process, to establish whether the property must be retained for a strategic purpose or is required for a future funded council service use.  Once a property has been internally cleared of any council service requirements, Panuku then consults with local boards, mana whenua and ward councillors.  All sale recommendations must be approved by the Panuku Board before a final recommendation is made to the Finance and Performance Committee.  The Finance and Performance Committee makes the final decision to approve a property for disposal. 


 

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

Property information

5.       The former Auckland City Council acquired 22 and 28A Waipuna Road for the Auckland Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative.  However the route was not designated and Auckland Council and Auckland Transport subsequently decided not to proceed with the Mt Wellington Highway/Waipuna Road route.

6.       In 2018 AT advised that the properties were no longer required for its current or future transport or infrastructure purposes.  Both properties were subsequently transferred to council for rationalisation.

7.       22 Waipuna Road is a 675m2 site with two single story residential units located on it.  The Auckland Unitary Plan zoning is Residential - Terrace House and Apartment Building.  It has a rating valuation of $910,000.

8.       28A Waipuna Road is a single story residential unit held as a crosslease with a ½ share in the fee simple title of the 726m2 site.  The Auckland Unitary Plan zoning is Residential - Terrace House and Apartment Building.  It has a rating valuation of $650,000.

9.       22 and 28A Waipuna Road are not subject to offer back obligations to the former owners in accordance with section 40 of the Public Works Act 1981.

Internal Consultation

10.     The rationalisation process for both properties commenced in September 2018.  No alternative council service uses were identified through the internal consultation.  22 and 28A Waipuna Road have been identified by Panuku as suitable for development, specifically to deliver housing outcomes.  A proposed disposal of the properties to Housing New Zealand would provide an opportunity for (housing) development outcomes.

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

11.     22 and 28A Waipuna Road are not specifically mentioned in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Plan.

12.     Panuku attended a workshop with the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board in October 2018. The Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board provided informal feedback that while it was supportive of the proposed disposal of 22 and 28A Waipuna Road, it requests that a disposal to the Crown considers the current land exchange negotiations between Auckland Council and Housing New Zealand.  Panuku provided advice that if the properties are disposed of to the Crown, then it will pass the local board’s request to council in any subsequent negotiations.

13.     This report provides the local board with an opportunity to formalise its views regarding both properties.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

15.     Capital receipts from the sale of properties contribute to Auckland Plan outcomes and the LTP by providing the council with an efficient use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities and projects.  In the 2018/2019 financial year, the LTP has forecast the disposal of non-strategic assets to the value of $24 million.

16.     In accordance with the Local Government Act 2002, the annual Panuku SOI states the activities and intentions of Panuku, the objectives those activities will contribute to and performance measures and targets as the basis of organisational accountability.  For the 2018/2019 financial year Panuku is required to recommend to the council’s Finance and Performance Committee properties from within council’s portfolio that may be suitable for sale to a combined value of $30 million and to sell $24 million of property by 30 June 2019.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

17.     No risks have been identified in the recommendations contained in this report.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

18.     The Crown has expressed interest in acquiring 22 and 28A Waipuna Road should both properties be approved for disposal.  This will be explored further should the Finance and Performance Committee approve the proposed disposals.

19.     The adjoining property at 28B Waipuna Road, Mt Wellington was acquired from private ownership by Panuku under delegation using its strategic development fund.  Should the Finance and Performance Committee approve the proposed disposal of 22 and 28A Waipuna Road, it is intended to package together a disposal with other adjacent council owned properties previously approved for disposal by the Finance and Performance Committee in order to provide an opportunity for development (housing) outcomes.

Request to rename a private road (Whiro Lane) within Fenchurch Stage 2B (Stage 3).

 

File No.: CP2018/21637

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To seek approval from the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board to rename a private road (Whiro Lane) in the regeneration neighbourhood of Fenchurch Stage 2B (Stage 3) in Glen Innes (Special Housing Area).

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       Auckland Council has Road Naming Guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming across the Auckland Region.

3.       In terms of the renaming of an existing road, the guidelines acknowledge that road names are intended to be enduring and the renaming of roads is discouraged unless there are compelling reasons for a change.

4.       The renaming of “Whiro Lane” is requested by Tāmaki Regeneration Company (“TRC”), due to the negative meaning and connotation of the Māori word “Whiro” (meaning: evil, bad), which was brought to the attention of TRC by a local resident. TRC deemed it insensitive to place “Whiro” in such close proximity to the newly named Te Nohotu Road, which acknowledges a recently deceased local community member.

5.       TRC has proposed the following names for consideration by the Local Board, to rename the private road (JOAL Block D, Lot 202) within the Fenchurch 2B (Stage 3) development:

(Note: Names in bold and with an asterisk have been suggested by relevant iwi):

Preferred Name:

·    Takerei Way

Pool of Alternative Names:

·    Takero Lane*

·    Manihera Lane

·    Konatu Lane

6.       The proposed road names have been assessed to ensure that they meet Auckland Council’s Road Naming Guidelines and the National Addressing Standards for road naming. Mana Whenua were also consulted.

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)      Approve renaming the private road (‘Whiro Lane’) to Takerei Way within the Fenchurch 2B (Stage 3) development, Glen Innes, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent reference BUN60078215, SUB60239003 - R/JSL/2016/2382).

 

Horopaki / Context

7.       Location and Site plans of the development can be found in Attachments A and B.

8.       In accordance with the National Addressing Standards for road naming (the AS/NZS 4819-2011 standard), the JOAL requires a road name because it serves more than 5 lots.

9.       TRC, along with its development partner, RPV Rawa, will deliver a mix of state, affordable and market houses amongst the 85 new houses to be built in Stages 2, 3 and 4, which lie in an area between Leybourne Circle, Te Nohotu Road and Sunnymead Road. For Fenchurch 2B (Stage 3), this requires the creation of one public road and three JOALs.

10.     The private road (Lot 202) to be renamed, which was created by way of subdivision (reference BUN60078215, SUB60239003 - R/JSL/2016/2382), will service 9 new houses, 2 of which will be state houses.

11.     Developer, RPV Rawa, requires renaming the road before lodging the 224c, which is expected to be around February 2019.

12.     Local iwi have also provided a Te Reo road name option, detailed below.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

13.     The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allow that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the Local Board’s approval.

14.     Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically require that road names reflect:

-   a historical or ancestral linkage to an area;

-   a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity theme or feature; or

-   an existing (or introduced) thematic identity in the area.

-   the use of Maori names is actively encouraged.

15.     Assessment: The names proposed by the Applicant have been assessed to ensure that they meet Auckland Council’s Road Naming Guidelines and the National Addressing Standards for road naming.

16.     Road types: The road type ‘Lane’, has been assessed as acceptable, in suiting the form and layout of the respective road to be renamed, as per the Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines.

17.     Confirmation: Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable and not duplicated elsewhere in the region.

18.     Iwi Consultation: All relevant local iwi were written to (via email) and invited to comment. Nga Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara and Ngati Whatua Orakei responded to defer their interests to the other Ngati Whatua entities. Ngāti Paoa Iwi Trust and Te Ahiwaru Waiohua both supported the applicants proposed name ‘Manihera Takerei’, which the applicant has now separated and included as two proposed names ‘Takerei Lane’ and ‘Manihera Lane’. Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Trust proposed a name which the applicant has included in this application.

19.     No objections or additional comments were raised by Mana Whenua for any of the other proposed names.

20.     Community Consultation: Proposed road names have been produced via consultation with the community and key stakeholder groups, such as TRC’s Community Liaison Committee, Lalaga Pasifiki, the Glen Innes and Panmure Business Associations, and other community organisations. Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board members were also canvassed in 2017 for potential new names.

21.     The applicant also contacted local residents for comment on the proposed road names, including the resident that raised the complaint against “Whiro Lane”. This resident suggested a name which has been included as the applicant’s preferred road name option.

22.     Permission: from relatives has been obtained for the use of Manihera Takerei’s name.

Background of ‘Whiro Lane’ and reasons for renaming

23.     In 2017, TRC conducted community engagement for potential new road names. This engagement included TRC staff contributions, where a staff member submitted the road name suggestion “Whiro”, with the meaning: Maori name for the planet Mercury.

24.     TRC conducted iwi consultation in September 2017. No comment or feedback was received on the proposed name ‘Whiro Lane’.

25.     The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board approved ‘Whiro Lane’ on the 28 November 2017, as part of the Fenchurch 2B (Stage 2) road naming submission.

26.     New road signs were installed throughout the Fenchurch 2B development during early August 2018, which is when local resident, Mr Patuwai, became aware of ‘Whiro Lane’ and informed TRC of its alternate negative meaning: In Māori mythology, Whiro (or Hiro in the Tuamotus) is the lord of darkness, or the embodiment of all evil.

27.     Mr Patuwai’s father (Te Nohotu) had died in early September 2017 and a private road (JOAL) was named after him in 26 September 2017 as part of the Fenchurch 2B (Stage 1) development. The two newly named roads (‘Te Nohotu Lane’ and ‘Whiro Lane’) are in close proximity to each other (refer to Attachment A).

28.     TRC’s Neighbourhood Liaison Team (NLT) had the ‘Whiro Lane’ road sign removed on 10th August 2018.

29.     Theme: Preferred and alternative road name options for the approved new JOAL were selected to acknowledge the history of a respected member from this once close-knit community.

30.     The Applicant’s proposed names and meanings for Fenchurch 2B (Stage 3) is set out in the table below:

Preferred Name & Meaning for Fenchurch 2B (Stage 3) Lot 202

Preferred Name

Meaning (as described by applicant)

Takerei Way

Maunsel Takerei lived on Aveline Place. He was an influential part of this Community and supported neighbourhood families. He and his wife Marie were the only family in Aveline Place who bought their house which was a significant achievement for his whanau. Marie Takerei sold the house in January 2018. Maunsel passed away in the early 2000’s and left behind a very strong family of children, grandchildren and community friends.

Name nominated by Mr Patuwai and supported by iwi.

 

31.     TRC has provided a pool of names that can be used as alternatives for Fenchurch 2B (stage 3):

Pool of Alternative Names & Meaning for Fenchurch 2B (Stage 3) Lot 202

Proposed Names

Meaning (as described by applicant)

Manihera Lane

Manihera is the given name of Maunsel Takerei, as noted in ‘Takerei Way’ meaning above.

Takero Lane

32.     The decision sought for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the community.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

33.     The review sought from the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board on this report is linked to the Auckland Plan Outcome “A Maori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world”. The use of Maori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Maori identity.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

34.     The applicant has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed accordingly once approval is obtained for the new road names.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

35.     There are no significant risks to council as road naming is a routine part of the subdivision development process, with consultation being a key part of the process.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)   Approve the retention of the existing road name ‘Parata Street’ for the public road to be extended in the Hinaki development site (Public Road 1 and 2), pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974.

b)   Approve 2 names for the following new roads within the Hinaki development, Glen Innes, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60312399, LUC60312421, SUB60312424):

·    Public Road 3: Leiite Setefano Street

·    JOAL 1: Ngakahikatea Lane

Horopaki / Context

5.       Resource consent BUN60312399, SUB60312424 was issued 27 August 2018 for the amalgamation of 51 existing residential lots into 13 vacant superlots for future redevelopment.

6.       In partnership with developer(s), TRC will deliver approximately 250 new houses between Tripoli Road, Pilkington Road and Hinaki Street. This will require the creation of 3 new public roads and four new JOALs to service a mix of state, affordable and market houses.

7.       All four JOALs will serve as rear accessways for houses that front existing (or extended) public streets. As they serve less than 5 lots, they are not required to be named. However, JOAL 1 is to be included in this application for naming, to prevent potential confusion for users, due to its three entry points from a public road, one being its T junction with Road 3.

8.       Two of the new public roads (Road 1 and Road 2) are an extension to an existing public road, currently named ‘Parata Street’. This cul-de-sac will become an extended open-ended roadway, for which applicant TRC requests to retain the existing road name out of respect for the existing residents, and to avoid any confusion of addressing along the continuous roadway.

9.       Location and Site plans of the Hinaki development can be found in Attachments A and B.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

10.     The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allow that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the Local Board’s approval.

11.     Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically require that road names reflect one of the following local themes, with the use of Maori names being actively encouraged:

-   a historical or ancestral linkage to an area;

-   a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity theme or feature; or

-   an existing (or introduced) thematic identity in the area.

12.     Theme: Preferred road name options for the proposed new roads were selected based on nominations by the community and descendants of people who had provided significant long-term service and devotion to the local area. Other proposed road names reflect the character and landscape of this neighbourhood – from the past and into the future.

13.     The Applicant’s proposed names and meanings are set out in the table below:

 

Table 2:  Hinaki Development Preferred Road Names & Meanings

·   The cul-de-sac ‘Harlow Place’ will become an extended open-ended roadway with the creation of Road 2, which will link around back into Epping Street. It will service 10 lots.

·   Road 3 will be an extension off Road 2 to service five lots. TRC has confirmed this cul-de-sac will not be extended in any future development.

8.       TRC requests the road type of ‘Harlow Place’ be changed to ‘Harlow Crescent’ to better suit the new crescent shaped thoroughfare that this road will become from the extension of Road 2.

9.       Applicant TRC requests to name Road 2 and Road 3 ‘Harrow Crescent’ to avoid any confusion of addressing along the continuous roadway.

10.     The 3 JOALs (jointly owned access lots) also shown on the site plan, will serve as rear accessways for houses that front existing (or extended) public streets. As each of the JOALs will serve less than 5 lots, they are not required to be named.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

11.     The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allow that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the Local Board’s approval.

12.     Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically require that road names reflect one of the following local themes, with the use of Maori names being actively encouraged:

-   a historical or ancestral linkage to an area;

-   a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity theme or feature; or

-   an existing (or introduced) thematic identity in the area.


 

 

13.     The Applicant’s proposed names and meanings are set out in the table below:

Table 2:  Hinaki Development Preferred Road Names & Meanings

Road reference

Preferred Name

Meaning (as described by applicant)

ROAD 1 (extension)

Eastview Road

As this new publicly vested Road will appear as an extension of an existing road directly opposite, it is requested to retain the name ‘Eastview’. Only one new house is expected to be facing the new road.

ROAD 2 (extension)

Harlow Crescent

Retain existing name of “Harlow” to provide continuity of place for existing local community. Change of road type suffix only.

ROAD 3

(extension)

Harlow Crescent

Retain existing name of “Harlow” to provide continuity of place for existing local community. Change of road type suffix only.

 

14.     Road type: ‘Road’ and ‘Crescent’ are acceptable road types, suiting the form and layout of the new extended roads, as per the Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines.

Local impacts and local board views

15.     The decision sought for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the community.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

16.     The review sought from the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board on this report is linked to the Auckland Plan Outcome “A Maori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world”. The use of Maori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Maori identity.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

17.     The applicant has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed accordingly once approval is obtained for the new road names.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

18.     There are no significant risks to council as road naming is a routine part of the subdivision development process, with consultation being a key part of the process.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

19.     Approved road names are notified to Land Information New Zealand who records them on their New Zealand wide land information database which includes street addresses issued by councils.

Quarter One Performance Report: Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board

 

File No.: CP2018/22162

 

  

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.         To provide the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board with an integrated quarterly performance report for quarter one, 1 July – 30 September 2018.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.         This report includes financial performance, progress against work programmes, key challenges the board should be aware of and any risks to delivery against the 2018/2019 work programme.

3.         The work programme is produced annually and aligns with the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Plan 2017 outcomes.

4.         Key activity updates from this quarter:

·          The board allocated a total of $58,748 through it’s first local community grant round

·          The board allocated it’s community response fund to undertake engagement on the draft Tamaki Open Space Network Plan

·          The Sir Woolf Fisher Park was reopened on 7 July 2018

·          Lagoon Stadium has seen a decrease in centre visits this quarter.

5.         All operating departments with agreed work programmes have provided a quarterly update against their work programme delivery. All activities are reported with a status of green (on track) or amber (some risk or issues, which are being managed). There are no activities with a red status this quarter (behind delivery, significant risk).

6.         The financial performance report compared to budget 2017/2018 is attached. There are some points for the local board to note:

·          The overall operating result is four per cent above budget due to higher operating revenue and expenditure.

·          Revenue is 26 per cent above budget due to higher than expected revenue from community halls and centres.

·          Operating expenditure is five per cent above budget in Asset Based Services (ABS) expenditure, particularly in the full facility parks contract.

·          Locally driven initiatives operating expenditure is slightly below budget as the Integrate ACE activity programme is in the planning stage.

·          Capital expenditure is above budget by 473 per cent as coastal asset renewals and greenway and walkway development continue from last financial year.

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a)      receive the performance report for the financial quarter ending 30 September 2018.

Local Board Work Programme Snapshot

10.       Two status categories are used to describe work programme activities – ‘RAG status’ which is short for red /amber /green (and grey) measures the performance of the activity while ‘activity status’ shows the stage of the activity. ‘RAG status’ and ‘activity status’ create a snapshot of progress of the work programme.

11.       The graph below identifies work programme activity by RAG status (red, amber, green and grey). It shows the percentage of work programme activities that are on track (green), in progress but with issues that are being managed (amber), activities that have significant issues (red) and activities that have been cancelled/deferred/merged (grey). There are no red or grey activities for this quarter.
Graph 2: Maungakiekie-Tāmaki work programme by RAG status

12.       The graph below identifies work programme activity by activity status and department. The number of activity lines differ by department as approved in the local board work programme.

Commentary on these items will be included in the quarter two report as these activities are brought into the 2018/2019 work programme.

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

Local impacts and local board views

21.       This report informs the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board of the performance for the quarter ending 30 September 2018.

Key performance indicators

22.       As most of the 10-Year Budget 2018-2028 key performance indicators are annual measures and do not change quarterly, staff have removed them from the quarterly performance report and will present the key performance indicators in the annual report at the end of the year.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

23.       The local board remains committed to integrating and supporting work that contributes to outcomes for Māori. This includes enhancing partnerships and collaborative ways of working with mana whenua and mataawaka. For instance, in June 2018, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board signed a relationship agreement with Ngāti Pāoa.

24.       The local board continues to support the redevelopment of Ruapotaka Marae. As an urban marae, this project has specific impact on the wider Māori community.

25.       All three libraries in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area are committed to ‘celebrating Te Ao Māori and strengthening responsiveness to Māori’. Each of the libraries have celebrated Matariki and Māori Language Week, by providing a variety of events such as Te Reo story times at each library and Matariki kai and gardening event at Panmure library.

Financial Performance

26.       Revenue from venue hire of community centres and community halls are slightly above budget. This has contributed to a 26 per cent increase in expected revenue for this quarter.

27.       Operating expenditure is five per cent above budget in ABS expenditure. This is particularly due to higher than expected expenditure within the full facility parks contract.

28.       Locally driven initiatives operating expenditure is 24 per cent below budget as some activities, such as the Integrate ACE activity programme, are in planning stages.

29.       Capital expenditure is above budget by 473 per cent as renewal of coastal assets in Dunkirk Reserve and the Tamaki Path construction continue from last financial year.

30.       The Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board Financial Performance report is attached (Attachment B).

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

31.       This report is for information only and therefore there are no financial implications associated with this report.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

32.       While the risk of non-delivery of the entire work programme is rare, the likelihood for risk relating to individual activities does vary. Capital projects for instance, are susceptible to more risk as on-time and on-budget delivery is dependent on weather conditions, approvals (e.g. building consents) and is susceptible to market conditions.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

33.       The local board will receive the next performance update following the end of quarter two, 31 December 2018.
