Panuku Development Auckland Local Board six-monthly update 1 April - 30 September 2018

File No.: CP2018/20833

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To update the Franklin Local Board on Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) activities within the local board area for the six months from 1 April to 30 September 2018.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. Panuku was established in September 2015 by the merger of two council controlled organisations, Waterfront Auckland and Auckland Council Property Limited.

3. Panuku helps to rejuvenate parts of Auckland, from small projects that refresh a site or building, to major transformations of town centres or neighbourhoods.

4. Panuku manages around $2 billion of council’s property portfolio, which is continuously reviewed to find smart ways to generate income for the region, grow the portfolio, or release land or property that can be better used by others.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Franklin Local Board:

a) receive the Panuku Development Auckland Local Board update for 1 April to 30 September 2018.

Ngā Mahi ā-Hapori / Local Activities

Development

5. Panuku is contributing commercial input into approximately 50 region-wide council-driven renewal and housing supply initiatives.

6. Panuku works with partners and stakeholders over the course of a project. It also champions best practice project delivery, to achieve best value outcomes within defined cost, time and quality parameters.

7. Below is a high-level update on development activities in the Franklin Local Board area:

8. Pukekohe – On 24 September 2018, following a review of all project locations across the city, the Panuku Board approved the recommendation to Auckland Council that Pukekohe be included as an Unlock Location to our work programme.

9. In October 2018, Panuku workshopped the option of Pukekohe becoming an Unlock location with the Franklin Local Board. The Franklin Local Board formally endorsed Pukekohe becoming an Unlock location at their business meeting on 23 October.

10. A report to the Planning Committee is scheduled for 27 November 2018.

Portfolio Management

11. Panuku manages ‘non-service’ properties owned by the council and Auckland Transport (AT). Non-service properties are those that are not currently needed for service or infrastructure purposes. These properties were generally being held for planned future projects that are no longer required, such as road construction, park expansion or development of future town centres.

12. As at 30 June 2018, the property portfolio comprises 1437 properties, containing 1119 leases. The current portfolio includes vacant land, industrial buildings, warehouses, retail shops, cafes, offices, medical centres, and a large portfolio of residential rental homes.

13. The return on the property portfolio for the period ending 30 June 2018 was above budget, with a net surplus to council and AT shareholders of $3.9 million ahead of budget.

14. The average monthly tenantable occupancy rate for the six-month period is more than 98 per cent, which is above the statement of intent target of 95 per cent.

Properties managed in the Franklin Local Board Area

15. Panuku currently manages 50 commercial and 16 residential interests within the Franklin Local Board area.

Business interests

16. Panuku also manages the commercial return from business interests on the council’s behalf. This includes two forestry enterprises, two landfills and four quarries.

17. There are currently no managed business interests in the Franklin Local Board area.

Portfolio strategy

Optimisation

18. Optimisation is a self-funding development approach targeting sub-optimal service assets approved in 2015. The process is a tri-party agreement between Community Facilities, Panuku and Local Boards. It is led by Panuku. It is designed to equal or enhance levels of service to the local community in a reconfigured form while delivering on strategic outcomes such as housing or urban regeneration with no impact on existing rate assumptions.

19. Using optimisation, underperforming assets will have increased utility and efficiency, with lower maintenance costs; operating costs as well as improved service delivery benefiting from co-location of other complimentary services or commercial activities. Optimisation will free up a vast range of undercapitalised development opportunities such as air space, full sites, or part sites and in many cases will result in intensification of land use, particularly residential, supporting Auckland Plan implementation.

20. Local boards are allocated decision making for the disposal of local service property and reinvestment of sale proceeds in accordance with the service property optimisation approach.

Portfolio review and rationalisation

Overview

21. Panuku is required to undertake ongoing rationalisation of the council’s non-service assets. This includes identifying properties from within the council’s portfolio that may be suitable for potential sale and development if appropriate. Panuku has a focus on achieving housing and urban regeneration outcomes. Identifying potential sale properties contributes to the Auckland Plan focus of accommodating the significant growth projected for the region over the coming decades, by providing the council with an efficient use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities and projects.

Performance

22. Panuku works closely with Auckland Council and Auckland Transport to identify potential surplus properties to help achieve disposal targets.

23. Target for July 2017 to June 2018:

Unit

Target

Achieved

Portfolio review

$60 million disposal recommendations

$88 million as at 30 June 2018

(includes $62 million from the Papatoetoe, Avondale and Panmure priority locations)

24. Target for July 2018 to June 2019:

Unit	Target	Achieved
Portfolio review	$30 million disposal recommendations	$4.8 million as at 30 September 2018.

Process

25. Once identified as no longer delivering the council service use for which it was acquired, a property is taken through a multi-stage rationalisation process. The agreed process includes engagement with council departments and CCOs, the local board and mana whenua. This is followed by Panuku board approval, engagement with the local ward councillors and the Independent Māori Statutory Board and finally, a Governing Body decision.

Under review

26. Properties currently under review in the Franklin Local Board area are listed below. The list includes any properties that may have recently been approved for sale or development and sale by the governing body.

Property	Details
28 Lockwood Avenue, Hunua	A residential property and garage no longer required for open space purposes or as a regional park asset. No alternative service uses were identified through the rationalisation process. Council’s Finance and Performance Committee approved the disposal of the property at its July 2018 meeting.
15R First View Avenue, Beachlands	Narrow strip of land remaining from unformed access way vested with the former Manukau City Council in 1963. Panuku and council’s Stakeholder and Land Advisory team are seeking to resolve encroachments associated with the site.
9 Hall Street, Pukekohe	An off-street car park released by AT as not required for its future service needs and having no strategic purpose to retain. AT discussed the results of the comprehensive car parking management plan and parking survey of Pukekohe with the board on 23 October 2018. Further consideration and board engagement regarding the site is planned as part of the proposed Unlock Pukekohe town centre redevelopment.
42 Seddon Street, Pukekohe	The residue of land acquired by the former Pukekohe Borough Council in 1977 to construct a new ring road around the Pukekohe township. Further consideration and board engagement regarding the site is planned as part of the proposed Unlock Pukekohe town centre redevelopment.
172, 174, 180A, 180B, 180C (aka 182) Manukau Road, Pukekohe	Vacant sites that are the residue of land originally acquired by the former Franklin District Council for the Pukekohe Eastern Arterial project. Following the construction of Svendsen Road, the sites were released by AT as not required for its future service needs and having no strategic purpose to retain. In June 2014 council’s Finance and Performance Committee deferred a decision to dispose of the sites until the preferred route for an east-west link in Pukekohe is identified by Auckland Transport. Further consideration and board engagement regarding the sites is planned as part of the proposed Unlock Pukekohe town centre redevelopment.

Acquisitions and disposals

27. Panuku manages the acquisition and disposal of property on behalf of Auckland Council. Panuku purchases property for development, roads, infrastructure projects and other services. These properties may be sold with or without contractual requirements for development.

Acquisitions

28. Panuku does not decide which properties to buy in a local board area. Instead, it is asked to negotiate the terms and conditions of a purchase on behalf of the council.

29. Panuku purchased 12 properties for open space across Auckland in the 2017-18 financial year at a cost of $27 million, and bought eight properties for storm water use at a value of $4.9 million.

30. Seven properties have had purchase agreements signed in the 2018-19 financial year for open space purposes around the region at a value of $22 million, and no properties have been purchased for storm water purposes.

31. One property was purchased in the Franklin Local Board area during the reporting period for open space purposes.

32. All land acquisition committee resolutions contain a confidentiality clause due to the commercially sensitive nature of ongoing transactions, and thus cannot be reported on while in process.

Disposals

33. The disposals team has sold 4 properties, realising $24.5 million of unconditional net sales proceeds, in the current financial year. Panuku 2018/19 disposals target is $24 million for the year. The disposals target is agreed with the council and is reviewed on an annual basis. The disposals team achieved $15.06 million of net sale proceeds in 2017/18.

34. One of the properties sold during the report period is in the Franklin Local Board area is
Sec 1 SO 417727 Middleton Road, Drury.

Housing for Older People

35. The council owns 1412 units located in 62 villages across Auckland, which provide rental housing to low income older people in Auckland.

36. The Housing for Older People (HfOP) project involved the council partnering with a third-party organisation, The Selwyn Foundation, to deliver social rental housing services for older people across Auckland.

37. The joint venture business, named Haumaru Housing, took over the tenancy, facilities and asset management of the portfolio, under a long-term lease arrangement from 1 July 2017.

38. Haumaru Housing was granted community housing provider (CHP) status in April 2017. Having CHP registration enables Haumaru to access the government’s Income Related Rent Subsidy (IRRS) scheme.

39. Auckland Council has delegated Panuku to lead a new multi-year residential development programme.

40. The first new development project is a 40-unit apartment building on the former Wilsher Village site on 33 Henderson Valley Road, Henderson. Once completed in mid-2019, this development will increase the council’s portfolio to 1452 units.

41. The following HfOP villages are located within the Franklin Local Board area:

Village	Address	Number of units
Albert Place Village	1 Albert Place, Pukekohe	30
Henry Curd Village	4-8 Henry Curd Terrace, Pukekohe	10
Kent Street Village	14 Kent Street, Waiuku	8
Lawrie Avenue Village	111 Queen Street, Pukekohe	7
Norfolk Rise Village	2 Norfolk Rise, Waiuku	16
Parkway Village	16 Princes Street, Pukekohe	28

Ngā Mahi ā-Rohe / Regional Activities

42. Over the year, Panuku achieved key project milestones and performance results in our priority development locations. Panuku categorises three types of priority locations:

· Transform locations – Panuku ‘transforms’ locations by creating change through urban regeneration. Panuku leads the transformation of select parts of the Auckland region working alongside others and using the custodianship of land and planning expertise. The catalytic work Waterfront Auckland led at Wynyard Quarter is a great example of the transformation of urban locations

· Unlock locations – Panuku ‘unlocks’ development potential for others. By acting as a facilitator; using relationships to break down barriers and influence others, including the council family, to create development opportunities

· Support locations – Panuku plays a ‘support’ role to ensure council is making the most of what it already has. Intensification is a key driver in the Auckland Plan. Panuku will support housing demands by enabling development of council-owned land.

Transform locations

43. The Wynyard Quarter is undergoing rapid change both commercially and residentially, with thousands of Aucklanders using this space every week.

44. Panuku has partnered with Willis Bond to deliver a total of 500 homes in Wynyard Quarter over several stages, the first of which – Wynyard Central Pavilions – is now complete. This first stage of the new precinct offers a mix of 113 residencies comprising 25 free-stranding pavilions, 8 townhouses and 80 apartments with retail space on the ground floor. Willis Bond is also leading the delivery of 51 apartments at 132 Halsey, which is expected to be complete in Spring 2018. At the same time it is anticipated that works will begin on the second stage of Willis Bond’s residential development at 30 Madden Street with the construction of 90 apartments and six townhouses as well as ground floor retail. This residential construction is due to be completed by the end of 2020.

45. Precinct are due to commence construction on their next commercial building at 10 Madden Street in Spring 2018, with an anticipated completion date towards the end of 2020. This seven level building will provide approximately 8,500m2 of commercial space including ground floor retail.

46. The east-west connection between Halsey and Daldy Streets, Tiramarama Way, was completed in June of this year, with the street opening on Friday 29 June 2018 receiving much positive feedback.

47. Negotiations are underway with Orams regarding the development of Site 18 (on the corner of Beaumont and Jellicoe Streets) for a marine refit facility and residential development.

48. Transform Manukau covers over 600 hectares and is the largest of the Panuku priority locations. The Auckland Plan sees Manukau as the commercial centre of southern Auckland, but the significant investment in transport and community amenities has not been matched by intensification of the adjacent land to provide more homes and jobs. The area contains over 6 hectares of undeveloped council land in the town centre that is suitable for residential and commercial development. There is also significant Crown land held by both HNZC and the Counties Manukau DHB that can provide significant additional housing.

49. Panuku is focusing on taking the development sites to market to test the appetite for private sector investment. Currently there is a 300 home development on Barrowcliffe Place already underway. We are also focusing on public realm projects that will enhance the overall environment and liveability of the area. Panuku is working closely with The Southern Initiative and ATEED to develop integrated actions to benefit the local community.

50. The Framework Plan to guide the Onehunga transformation on a similar scale to Wynyard Quarter and Manukau was approved in May 2018. The plan was completed involving significant consultation with the community. Panuku is leading the redevelopment of strategic council-owned land, and works in partnership with government and others, to deliver positive outcomes for the local community. The East-West link and proposed light rail, which affects the wharf and southern parts of the area, is currently being reassessed by the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA). Panuku is expecting amended plans later this year. Further refinement of the Framework Plan will occur once this can be reviewed. Working with the local board and key stakeholders, Panuku has advanced plans on the town centre and the Onehunga wharf precinct where possible.

Unlock locations

51. In the unlock Takapuna project, results from recent consultation and independent representative survey have shown support for a new town square and revitalisation on the central Takapuna car park 40 Anzac Street. The project led by Panuku will now progress with a town square between Hurstmere Road and Lake Road.

52. In Northcote, we are continuing to build on the urban regeneration concepts outlined in the November 2016 Framework Plan, and have progressed our engagement and co-design with HLC for the Awataha Greenway project and other key projects. The information kiosk continues to provide a ‘shop front’ for the community to walk in and ask any questions. With the 2018 LTP signed off by Council in late-June, Panuku is now able to commence implementation of the first-year’s projects including the Greenslade Reserve stormwater detention project.

53. At the Airfields, Hobsonville Point, six of the seven super-lots have now settled with AV Jennings with the remaining super-lot due for settlement October 2018. Forty-two housing units have been completed to the end of June 2018. In stage 2, the development by Avanda will result in 510 dwellings. The tier 1 roads which are Wallace Road, Waka Moana Drive and Commanders Avenue are progressing well and are on target for practical completion December 2018. The first housing development is anticipated to start in December 2018.

54. The council’s Planning Committee approved the over-arching plans to redevelop Old Papatoetoe in June. Construction on the Mall has been completed and we are now focussed on leasing the remaining tenancies. The supermarket construction is progressing, however we have been advised that this is unlikely to be completed by Christmas. We are working closely with Foodstuffs on the new plaza space. The Panuku Board has now approved the Programme Business Case which details how new housing in the town centre will be enabled. The temporary food hub proposal for the old netball clubrooms is progressing well.

55. The overall plan for Henderson was approved in May 2017 by Governing Body. The 2018-2021 Unlock Henderson work programme was endorsed by the local board and approved by the Panuku board in June 2018. The vision is for Henderson is for it to grow into an urban eco-centre. This vision will guide planning and development with an outcome towards ‘liveable growth’ by creating a safe, attractive and vibrant mixed-use environment with a uniquely west Auckland identity.

56. The opportunity to revitalise Avondale has been given the green light in November 2017 with the approval of the over-arching plan for its regeneration by the Planning Committee. The vision for Avondale will be enabled through a number of key moves. Panuku will work closely with the local board and community to implement a retail strategy that attracts new businesses, increasing diversity of products and services. The train station, upgraded bus network and new cycleways offer great transport options and we will continue to strengthen connections between these activity hubs and the town. A focus for the regeneration of Avondale is working with developers to build quality residential neighbourhoods that offer a mix of housing types, including terraces and apartments. A number of significant developments are already underway in the area.

57. Located within the Tāmaki Transformation area, Panmure town centre is well-located with excellent public transport links to the wider Auckland area. Panmure was chosen as a location for regeneration due to large areas of underused, council-owned land in the town centre that represent significant redevelopment opportunities. The project area covers 43ha and encompasses land owned by council, TRC, the Crown and Auckland Transport (AT), who Panuku will work in partnership with to facilitate the staged transition of sites for development.

ID#

Project Description

ROC ballpark estimates

648

Ronald Avenue improvements, Glenbrook Beach

· New kerb & channel (k&c), formalised parking bays and footpaths (400m each side)

On discussion with safety engineers, angle parking is not supported due to safety issues, but an angle parking area on Fleet Street may be acceptable. The following options have been costed:

Option 1

· To install only footpaths on both sides of Ronald Ave and one side of Fleet Street

· The pre-concept ROC is $625,000 to $725,000.

Option 2

· Full upgrade, i.e. k&c both sides of Ronald Ave, plus fully constructed parking bays and footpaths both sides, plus stormwater infrastructure

· The pre-concept ROC ranges between $1,430,000 and $1,650,000.

· Note: This does not include any allowance for stormwater (SW) quality treatment. AT is also aware there may be significant SW disposal issues in the area. The road itself and the adjoining properties are essentially flat and only a full investigation of the SW requirements will provide a more reliable ROC for this project.

Option 3

· As above plus k&c and footpath down both sides of Fleet Street

· The pre-concept ROC ranges between $1,510,000 and $1,740,000.

· Note: This does not include any allowance for SW quality treatment. AT is also aware there may be significant SW disposal issues in the area. The road itself and the adjoining properties are essentially flat and only a full investigation of the SW requirements will provide a more reliable ROC for this project.

Note: A full investigation, concept design, and discussions with Council stormwater (including any potential funding contribution) may cost in the region of $50,000 to $80,000.

Option 4

· To add in an angle parking area on Fleet Street for approx. 8 cars, add $40,000 to $50,000 to other options.

649

172-174 Princes Street West kerb & channel, Pukekohe

· New k&c (50m)

· 130m of footpath is also missing along the reserve frontage – after discussion with the transport portfolio leader, this element has also been costed

· The proposal allows to fill in the gap of k&c and also the footpath

· The pre-concept ROC ranges from $150,000 to $175,000

· Note there are potential drainage issues in the area; the ROC does not include any additional drainage works than normal until any issue is fully understood and investigated.

650

Awhitu Road intersection flag lighting, Awhitu

· Installing flag lighting at remaining intersections where not already present

Responses to resolutions

19. At its 17 November 2017 business meeting, the board passed the resolution below:

Resolution number FR/2017/200

That the Franklin Local Board:

d) request that Auckland Transport expedite completion of the Comprehensive Parking Management Plan and parking survey for Pukekohe, in order that current and projected car parking requirements can be ascertained in light of the town’s growth and to inform decisions on proposed disposals of car parking land.

20. The parking survey has been completed and the final report was presented to the board at a workshop session in October.

21. Following that workshop, Auckland Transport must update the CPMP with data from the number plate survey requested by the board. It is expected the updated CPMP can be provided early in the New Year.

22. At its 28 August business meeting, the board passed the resolution below:

Resolution number FR/2018/116

That the Franklin Local Board:

b) note with concern the sub-standard quality of chip sealing repairs and request that Auckland Transport:

i) take steps to identify areas where recent chip sealing is failing and put in place and communicate with the Local Board a plan to rectify these failings;

ii) put in place more robust monitoring of contractors’ work;

iii) research alternative surface methods and materials that will address these quality concerns.

23. Auckland Transport has undertaken an audit of all chip seal sites completed in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 financial years and provided a report on the concerns listed above to the board chairperson and transport portfolio leaders.

24. At its 23 October 2018 business meeting, the board passed the resolutions below:

Resolution number FR/2018/147

That the Franklin Local Board:

c) request that Auckland Transport provide a list of any bus stops in the Franklin Local Board area for which new bus shelter requests have been received, and boarding information for those stops concerned.

d) request that Auckland Transport include the intersection of Ararimu Road and Dunn Road in the ‘traverse bar markings September to June work programme’ to improve safety at this location.

25. Information is awaited from AT Metro in respect of resolution c) above.

26. In respect of resolution d), the board is advised that the intersections indicated on the plan provided at the 23 October meeting formed Package 1 of rural intersection improvements proposed at a number of sites in south Auckland, predominantly in the Franklin ward.

27. Package 2 of rural intersection improvements in south Auckland is current being investigated and designed by Auckland Transport’s Road Safety team, and that package includes the Ararimu Road/ Turner Road/ Dunn Road intersection identified in the board’s resolution. The proposal is to investigate installing transverse bar markings at that site also.

28. Following investigation and design, Package 2 sites are planned for implementation next financial year, subject to funding (the cost estimate is around $20,000 per site).

29. Package 1 sites, which were prioritised on the basis of recorded crash data, have already been designed and a works request sent for installation in the current financial year.

Local projects and activities

Pukekohe Station project update

30. The Exeloo toilets at the station are now fully commissioned and operational.

31. The design for the roading works in front of 99 Manukau Road (from Stage 1) is ongoing. Extra underground services have been found and a trench will be dug to confirm depth before finalising the design, which will delay completion of the design. Services to dig a trench are currently being procured and liaison will be undertaken with tenants prior to excavation commencing.

Pukekohe Travel Demand proposal

32. The Franklin Local Board has asked if Auckland Transport can support a project within the Pukekohe area that would promote a change in travel behaviour and encourage more people to use the public transport options available, particularly local bus services but also the train.

33. Discussions have been held with Auckland Transport’s Travel Demand Manager, who has indicated that his team would be keen to work on a travel demand management plan/ approach for Pukekohe. The exact form of that plan or approach will need to be developed.

34. It is proposed that the Travel Demand Team develops a draft Plan of Action, which will now be ready to share in February/March 2019, with a view to implement the plan by the end of June 2019.

Quarterly Report for July-September 2018

35. Auckland Transport has also committed to providing more detailed information to local boards on its activities in both the local area and regionally every quarter, comprising:

· Attachment A – report from Auckland Transport departments on their activities in the Franklin Local Board area and regionally over the last quarter

· Attachment B – report on Travelwise Schools activities in the Franklin Local Board area over the last quarter.

Other transport news

Draft Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP) open for consultation

36. From 19 November to 14 December, Auckland Transport is seeking public feedback on the draft RPTP, which sets out the 10-year plan for Auckland’s public transport system.

37. The RPTP builds on the changes made to the public transport network since 2015 and will continue to enhance customer experience. It has four areas of focus:

· Expanding our public transport network to improve the frequency band reliability of services

· Making it easier for people to get to and from public transport

· Improving Maori input into public transport, which includes applying Te Aranga Principles to design

· Using technology to make it easier and more accessible for people to use public transport such as on-demand travel and easier payment options.

38. The draft RPTP can be viewed and downloaded on AT’s website at www.at.govt.nz/rptp.

39. Auckland Transport encourages stakeholders and the public to provide feedback on the draft RPTP. The consultation has been published through advertisements in newspapers, social media, on public transport and via numerous stakeholder groups.

Airport to Botany Rapid Transit project

40. Feedback is open for Auckland Transport’s Airport to Botany Rapid Transit project, which is part of the Southwest Gateway programme – a partnership between AT, NZ Transport Agency and the Auckland Airport.

41. The programme will establish a connected, future-focussed transport system that provides choice for how people and freight travel around southwest and southeast Auckland, including to and from the airport. The programme consists of three transport projects: Airport to Botany Rapid Transit, 20Connect and Auckland Airport Precinct Improvements.

42. The first stage of Airport to Botany Rapid Transit involves the proposed upgrade of Puhinui Station (subject to funding approval) to an interchange that connects rail services with new, fast, frequent bus services to the Airport and Manukau.

43. These services will run on new bus priority lanes to increase efficiency and reliability, and will be accompanied by improved walking and cycling facilities. This project is partly funded by the Regional Fuel Tax, and is expected to be completed by early 2021.

44. The second stage of the project is creating a new Rapid Transit Network (RTN) from Botany to the airport, via Manukau, and the Puhinui interchange.

45. The Southwest Gateway programme will provide a substantial difference to the way people travel around southwest and southeast Auckland.

46. Public engagement on the Southwest Gateway programme began on 22 November and includes a number of public information sessions. Feedback closes at 5pm on Friday 14 December 2018.

47. For more information, timelines, and to provide feedback on the Airport to Botany Rapid Transit project, please visit: http://www.at.govt.nz/AtoB

New campaign to slow down

48. On 26 October, Auckland Transport launched a campaign to get Aucklanders to slow down when driving. The campaign features radio, cinema, social media, outdoor and bus ads, shows the scale of the devastation wrought on whānau, friends and communities across Auckland.

49. Last year 64 people died on Auckland’s roads. That number comprised 26 drivers, 17 passengers, nine pedestrians, two people on bikes and 10 motorcyclists.

50. Since 2014, there has been a 78% increase in deaths and 68% increase in serious injuries on Auckland’s roads – three times that of any other region in New Zealand.

51. Safety is the key focus for Auckland Transport and the Government, through the investment of $700 million over the next decade to make local roads safer and change the behaviour of Auckland drivers at high-risk locations across the transport network.

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

52. Auckland Transport provides the Franklin Local Board with the opportunity to comment on transport projects being delivered in the local board area.

53. The board’s views on any proposed schemes are taken into account during consultation on those proposals.

Auckland Transport consultations

54. Consultation documents for the following proposals have been provided to the Franklin Local Board for its feedback. The proposals are summarised below, as is any feedback received, and any responses to that feedback, if available at the time of writing.

55. Following public and stakeholder consultation, Auckland Transport considers the feedback received and determines whether to proceed further with the proposal as consulted on, or proceed with an amended proposal if changes are considered necessary.

56. Proposed roundabout at Helvetia Road / Princes Street intersection, Pukekohe – Auckland Transport is proposing to upgrade the intersection of Helvetia Road and Princes Street to a roundabout, including the construction of pedestrian refuge islands on all legs of the roundabout and the extension of broken yellow lines on Princes Street. The proposed changes will improve safety at this intersection by reducing vehicle speeds, increasing driver awareness and providing enhanced pedestrian facilities. The proposal will also help address existing crash patterns and accommodate anticipated future demand at this location.

57. The board requested that Auckland Transport include a review during the project’s detailed design phase by a local trucking operator to ensure the approved roundabout design does not compromise heavy transport operations through the intersection. Auckland Transport agreed to the request.

58. Controls for new roads, Paerata Rise – Stage 1 of the Paerata Rise subdivision adjacent to Wesley College is near completion. The project involves the upgrade and vesting of the northern access to the college, along with the formation and vesting of several new streets and paths which require a number of traffic controls including ‘Give Way’ signs, bus stops and ‘No Stopping At All Times’ parking restrictions.

59. In general the board raised no issues with the proposal, but noted an ongoing concern with the trend of narrow roads with little or no on-street parking. The board also suggested the proposed bus stops either be indented or not located directly opposite each other.

60. The developer has worked with Auckland Council and Auckland Transport to minimise the amount of no-stopping in these streets so that the parking supply could be maximised.

61. In relation to the bus stops, Auckland Transport does not favour indented bus stops in most locations as they are more difficult for buses to leave the stop and re-enter the traffic lane due to inconsiderate motorists. However, the bus stops are a standard length which is intended to provide sufficient space at either end for a bus to enter and leave the stop when vehicles are parked at the ends of the stop, so there would typically be empty space at the rear of the stop when a bus is in the loading position, providing additional space for passing traffic.

62. Proposed footpath, Upper Queen Street, Pukekohe – Auckland Transport is proposing a new footpath on Upper Queen Street in Pukekohe between Kitchener Road and 310 Upper Queen Street. The proposal will improve pedestrian access by completing a gap in the network between the indicated locations. The proposed footpath also includes a kerb buildout and marked pram crossing at Laurelwood Avenue.

63. The board had no issues with the proposal.

64. Proposed traffic controls at Calcutta Road/ Jellicoe Road/ Middleton Road intersection, Pukekohe – the developer of a recent subdivision adjacent to this intersection was required by a condition of consent to make changes to the intersection, including widening the carriageway, replacing a traffic island with a flush (painted) island, installing a ‘Give Way’ control, and marking a centreline through the bend.

65. The board raised no issues but asked whether the location of a private driveway access near the intersection met all relevant guidelines. The developer responded that the access was the result of a late request from Auckland Council to combine access to three lots into one without direct access onto Jellicoe Road and that the access point was approved by Council and Auckland Transport at resource consent stage and engineering construction phase.

Traffic Control Committee (TCC) resolutions

66. Resolutions passed by the TCC during the month of October 2018 affecting the Franklin Local Board area are shown below.

Proposed Regional Public Transport Plan

File No.: CP2018/23891

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To provide the Franklin Local Board the opportunity to submit formal feedback on the proposed Regional Public Transport Plan.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. Auckland Transport is required to review its ten year Regional Public Transport Plan every three years. The plan describes the services that are integral to Auckland’s public transport network for the next 10-year period. This report requests the Franklin Local Board give feedback on the plan, with special emphasis on the following four focus areas:

· Expanding and enhancing rapid and frequent networks

· Improving customer access to public transport

· Improving Māori responsiveness

· Harnessing emerging technologies

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Franklin Local Board:

a) provides feedback on the Regional Public Transport Plan focus areas of:

i) Expanding and enhancing rapid and frequent networks

ii) Improving customer access to public transport

iii) Improving Māori responsiveness

iv) Harnessing emerging technologies

b) provide additional feedback on local specific interests.

Horopaki / Context

3. The Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP) is a requirement of the Land Transport Management Act. It sets out the changes to Auckland’s public transport. Transport is a key component of a city’s success.

4. Auckland is growing and as more people live and visit here, the number of trips taken on our transport networks is increasing. The space available for transport networks is finite. This means that we need as many people as possible to travel using efficient forms of transport, such as walking, cycling and public transport.

5. These alternative transport options take less space and are more environmentally sustainable than private motor vehicles. Lessening pressure on the road network will provide more capacity for critical vehicles that need the road, including road-based public transport, emergency services and freight.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

6. Attachment A is the summary document for the Regional Public Transport Plans. This document outlines the main changes proposed over the next ten years by focusing on four key areas.

Focus area one

Expanding and enhancing rapid and frequent networks

7. Planning an enhanced rapid transit network through four main city-shaping projects to dramatically increase the speed and coverage of the rapid transit network:

· City Rail Link

· City to Mangere Light Rail and Northwest Light Rail

· SH20B upgrade and Puhinui Interchange

· Eastern Busway.

8. Implementing improvements on key arterial routes to move more people. This will include bus priority, safety improvements and cycling and walking facilities. Increasing services on the rapid and frequent networks, with the aim to have services every 10 minutes during peak travel times. Using the rapid and frequent networks to help make great public spaces.

Focus area two

Improving customer access to public transport

9. Continuing to deliver improved wayfinding sign systems across the public transport network to make it easier for people to find their way across the network. Increasing and improving the walking and cycling and other choices for access to public transport services, focussing on improving safety. Changing park and ride facilities to meet public demand.

Focus area three

Improving Māori responsiveness

10. Partnering with mana whenua to trial services such as on-demand ride share connecting to marae, which are hard to access by conventional public transport. Ensuring te reo Māori audio announcements and signs for rapid transit stations (train and busway) and extending this across all public transport.

11. Applying Te Aranga Principles when designing major interchanges and stations, with future potential to apply in the planning and design of the Light Rail Transit projects, Puhinui upgrade and stormwater management. Securing opportunities for Māori and local community employment, training and business development when constructing major public transport projects.

Focus area four

Harnessing emerging technologies

12. Improving customer insights and data, and undertaking more thorough analytics of travel data to directly inform service improvements. Continuing to evolve AT mobile apps to meet increasing customer needs. Providing simpler and improved payment options for fares to make travel easier. Using new transport modes generated by new digital technology to supplement and complement existing services, increasing access. Ensuring we future proof for mobility-as-a-service models, which will change how people make travel choices.

13. The full text of the proposed Regional Public Transport Plan can be accessed through Auckland Transport’s website on www.at.govt.nz/rptp.

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

14. Public transport has an impact right across the Auckland Region and therefore impacts all local boards in some way. This report seeks feedback from local boards on the most appropriate enhancements to Auckland’s public transport over the next ten years.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

15. The proposed Regional Public Transport Plan has a focus area of Improving Maori Responsiveness and includes initiatives such as: trialing new modes connecting marae with the public transport system, te reo announcements and signage across the public transport system and incorporating Te Aranga design principles into new facilities, such as bus and rail stations.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

16. The report has no financial implications for local boards.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

17. The report has no direct risks for local boards. Each individual project has its own set of unique risks and these will be dealt with as these projects are developed and implemented.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

18. In terms of what happens to the proposed plan.

· Public consultation runs until December 14

· Feedback will be analysed over mid to late January 2019

· The draft plan will be amended

· The final proposed plan will go to the Auckland Transport Board in February or March 2019.

New private way name in the subdivision at 1/334 - 8/334 Glenbrook Road, Pukekohe by E. G Charles Limited

File No.: CP2018/22300

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To seek approval from the Franklin Local Board for a new road name for an existing private way used by lots created over time by numerous rural subdivisions at 334 Glenbrook Road, Pukekohe by E. G Charles Limited. The last subdivision increased the number of lots served by the private way to eight (8) and these lots currently use a sub-addressing prefix numbering system of identification that range from 1/334 to 8/334 Glenbrook Road, Pukekohe.

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. The Applicant, E. G Charles Limited, has written permission from all the land owners to submit on their behalf the following names for consideration for the private way (Access Lot 5) at 334 Glenbrook Road, Pukekohe:

· The Homestead Lane (preferred name - not considered acceptable by LINZ)

· Homestead Hill Lane (first alternative)

· Homestead Views Lane (second alternative)

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Franklin Local Board:

a) approve the new road name ‘Homestead Hill Lane’ for the new private way in the subdivision at 1-8 / 334 Glenbrook Road, Pukekohe, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974.

Horopaki / Context

4. The existing private way serves lots that have been created over the years by a series of rural subdivisions and boundary adjustments. There are now a total of eight (8) lots served by the existing private way (Access Lot 5) at 334 Glenbrook Road, Pukekohe. The lots have been allocated sub-addressing prefix numbers and hence have street addresses ranging from 1/334 – 8/344 Glenbrook Road, Pukekohe.

5. In accordance with the national addressing standard private ways that serve more than 5 lots should be named.

6. A locality plan and a site plan showing current street numbering can be found in Attachments A and B respectively.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

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

- A historical or ancestral linkage to an area;

- A particular landscape, environment or biodiversity theme or feature; or

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

- The use of Maori names is actively encouraged.

8. The Applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for the private way created as part of the development at 334 Glenbrook Road, Pukekohe.

Preference	Proposed New Road Name	Meaning
Preferred Name	The Homestead Lane	Suggested as the private access road ends at the site of the original Wallace family home, established in 1910. The following owner was Sidney Wilson, a WW1 Mounted Rifles Veteran and citizen of the area who later retired to Pukekohe. The property was then purchased from Sidney Wilson by the Charles Family in 1960. Due to the surnames of those earlier families already being used, the applicant has proposed the name ‘Homestead’ to recognize the site of the early homestead.
First Alternative	Homestead Hill Lane	A variation of the preferred name.
Second Alternative	Homestead Views Lane	A variation of the preferred name.

9. Land Information New Zealand has advised that with the exception of ‘The Homestead Lane’, all the above names are acceptable to use. There is currently a ‘Homestead Drive’ within the Auckland region but the addition of either of the words ‘Hill’ or ‘View’ will provide sufficient distinction.

10. The proposed suffix of ‘Lane’ is deemed acceptable as it accurately describes the characteristics of the road.

11. The name proposed by the Applicant is deemed to meet the road naming guidelines.

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

12. 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

13. The applicant has consulted with local iwi via Council’s iwi consultation facilitation service and no responses suggesting alternative names were received.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

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

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

15. 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

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

Road Name Change Approval for a Private Way with access off 62D Old Coach Way, Drury

File No.: CP2018/22718

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. The purpose of this report is to seek a revocation from the Franklin Local Board, for a previous resolution that approved the road name “Forton Lane”, for the private way that is to be utilised by new lots created by the subdivision at 62D Old Coach Way, Drury.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

3. The road name ‘Forton Lane’ was approved at the local board meeting on 28 February 2017 (resolution FR/2017/13). At the time ‘Old Coach Way’ was the name of the road serving the existing private way.

4. The applicant would now like to revert to the original name of ‘Old Coach Way’ and revoking the subject resolution will achieve this.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Franklin Local Board:

a) pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, revoke resolution number FR/2017/13 (dated 28 February 2017) approving the road name of ‘Forton Lane’.

Horopaki / Context

5. Resource Consent was granted by Auckland Council to undertake a subdivision at 62D Old Coach Way, Drury (SUB60233584, R/JSL/2016/1347). The subdivision utilised an existing private way that would then be serving more than 5 lots and therefore needed a road name.

6. LINZ has recently relaxed its road naming requirements for existing private ways that serve other landowners / users, recognising the difficulties associated with re-naming for those existing owners / users.

7. The applicant, Forton Limited, with a desire to maintain the historical link of the previous road name to the area, and not wishing to inconvenience the existing land owners therefore wishes to revert the name of the private way to ‘Old Coach Way’.

8. Local iwi groups were consulted previously and Ngāti Tamaoho suggested the following names: Manureka, Paenoho, and Waitoka. None of these names were chosen by the board.

9. A locality plan and a site plan showing current street numbering can be found in Attachments A and B respectively.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

10. The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allowed 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 for the Local Board’s approval.

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

- A historical or ancestral linkage to an area;

- A particular landscape, environment or biodiversity theme or feature; or

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

- The use of Māori road names is actively encouraged

12. The applicant has applied to revoke a previous resolution so that the name of the private way reverts to the existing road name of ‘Old Coach Way’.

Road

Proposed New Road Name (Road 4)

Meaning

Forton

Old Coach Road

This is the name of the existing road leading to the private way in the new subdivision and it is currently used by other landowners. This name has links to historical tracks and transportation routes in the area.

13. On 28 February 2017, at the Franklin Local Board meeting, the applicant’s preferred road name ‘Forton Lane’ was approved (resolution FR/2017/13).

14. Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has advised that in certain circumstances it has relaxed its standards as far as existing private ways that serve other existing sites are concerned.

15. In this instance LINZ has confirmed that it would be acceptable for the developer to continue to use the name ‘Old Coach Way’ for the new subdivision and have a numbering system that complements the existing street numbering.

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

16. The decision sought from the Franklin Local Board 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

17. The applicant consulted previously with local iwi over the name ‘Forton Lane’ and three suggested names were provided by Ngāti Tamaoho but none of these were chosen.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

18. The applicant has responsibility for ensuring that any appropriate signage will be installed accordingly.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

19. 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

20. Approved road names are notified to Land Information New Zealand which records them on their New Zealand wide land information database which includes street addresses issued by councils. In this instance LINZ will only need to be notified of the revocation.

6. Stage 1A (207 Bremner Road, Drury) - Resource consent BUN60078287, LUC60141782, and SUB60216056 was issued 18 August 2017 for the creation of 47 residential fee simple titles and the establishment of 6 duplex affordable units. The subdivision will be accessed by four new roads (Roads 4, 5, 11, 15).

7. Stage 5 (207, 213 & 259 Bremner Road, Drury) - Resource consent BUN60077142, LUC60114419, and SUB60215379 was issued 10th October 2017 for the creation of 123 residential lots.

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. The applicant has proposed two road names (‘Karihi’ and ‘Pari’) where LINZ has accepted them for use, but has also noted its similarity to other road names in the Auckland Region. As referenced in the Auckland Council Road Naming Policy and Guidelines, a new road name should not be similar in spelling and in sound of an existing road name. It is therefore recommended that the names ‘Karihi’ and ‘Pari’ not be approved.

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

11 December 2018

Annual Budget 2019/2020 consultation

File No.: CP2018/23810

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To agree a local engagement event and adopt local content and supporting information for consultation as part of the Annual Budget 2019/2020 process.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. Auckland Council is required to have a local board agreement (as agreed between the Governing Body and the relevant local board) for each local board area for each financial year. The local board agreement will be included in the Council’s Annual Budget 2019/2020.

3. Consultation on the Annual Budget 2019/2020 will take place from 17 February – 17 March 2019. Local boards will be consulting on their areas of focus for their 2019/2020 local board agreement.

4. In December, the Governing Body will consider whether to consult on a proposal to transfer legal ownership of waterfront land and related assets to the council parent. If the Governing Body decides to consult on that proposal, the consultation would take place at the same time as the consultation on the Annual Budget 2019/2020. As a result, the consultation on the Annual Budget 2019/2020 would require the use of the special consultative procedure.

5. There will also be concurrent consultation on the Auckland Water Strategy discussion document. A report will be going to the Environment and Community Committee on 4 December 2018 to approve the discussion document for public consultation.

6. This report seeks agreement from local boards on the Have Your Say event that will be held in their local board area during the consultation period, to give Aucklanders an opportunity to provide face-to-face feedback. It also seeks approval of their local content and supporting information for consultation.

7. The Governing Body and local boards will agree regional and local items respectively for consultation by December 13. The regional and local consultation items will then be incorporated into the annual budget consultation document and supporting information, which will be approved by the Governing Body on 13 February 2019.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Franklin Local Board:

a) agree, subject to approval by the Governing Body, to hold the following Have Your Say event in the local board area during the Annual Budget 2019/2020 consultation period:

i) Hearing Style Event, Tuesday 5 March 2019, 9.30 am at the Local Board Chambers, Pukekohe Service Centre, 82 Manukau Road ,Pukekohe

b) delegate to the following elected members and staff the power and responsibility to hear from the public through “spoken (or New Zealand sign language) interaction” in relation to the local board agreement at the council’s public engagement events during the consultation period for the Annual Budget 2019/2020.

i) local board members and chairperson

ii) General Manager Local Board Services, Local Board Relationship Manager, Local Board Senior Advisor, Local Board Advisor, Local Board Engagement Advisor

iii) any additional staff approved by the General Manager Local Board Services or the Chief Financial Officer.

c) adopt Attachment A: local content for consultation and Attachment B: local supporting information for consultation.

d) delegate authority to the local board chair to approve any final changes required following review by the council’s legal team of the consultation content of the Annual Budget 2019/2020 prior to publication, including online consultation content.

Horopaki / Context

8. Auckland Council is required to have a local board agreement (as agreed between the Governing Body and the relevant local board) for each local board area for each financial year. The local board agreement will be included in the Council’s Annual Budget 2019/2020.

9. Local Board agreements set out (among other things) how the council will, in the year to which the agreement relates, reflect the priorities and preferences in the local board’s plan in respect of the local activities to be provided in the local board area.

10. For the purposes of consulting on each local board agreement to be included in the council’s Annual Budget, the consultation document for the Annual Budget must include content relating to each agreement.

11. Public consultation on the Annual Budget 2019/2020 will take place from 17 February – 17 March 2019.

12. In December, the Governing Body will consider whether to consult on a proposal to transfer legal ownership of waterfront land and related assets to the council parent. If the Governing Body decides to consult on that proposal, the consultation would take place at the same time as the consultation on the Annual Budget 2019/2020. As a result, the consultation on the Annual Budget 2019/2020 would require the use of the special consultative procedure, as a decision to proceed with the proposal would require an amendment to the council’s long-term plan. Where an amendment to the long-term plan is being consulted on at the same time as consultation on the Annual Budget, the Local Government Act 2002 requires the council to use the special consultative procedure in relation to both matters.

13. There will also be concurrent consultation on the Auckland Water Strategy discussion document. A report will be going to the Environment and Community Committee on 4 December 2018 to approve the discussion document for public consultation.

14. Aucklanders will be able to provide feedback during the consultation process through a variety of channels which include verbal (or face-to-face), written and social media.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

15. The special consultative procedure requires the council to provide an opportunity for people to present their views to the council in a manner that enables “spoken (or New Zealand sign language) interaction” between the person and the council’s decision-makers, or their official delegates. The council provides for this through its ‘Have Your Say’ events where people can have a face-to-face dialogue with elected members or other council representatives with an appropriate delegation. The Have Your Say event recommended to be held in the Franklin Local Board area is:

· Hearing Style Event, Tuesday 5 March 2019, 9.30 am at the Local Board Chambers, Pukekohe Service Centre, 82 Manukau Road ,Pukekohe

16. Local boards held workshops during October and November 2018 to determine their key activities for their 2019/2020 local board agreement. Boards are now requested to agree their local content and supporting information for consultation, as attached in Attachment A and B.

17. Any new local BID targeted rates must be consulted on before they can be implemented. Local boards are therefore also requested to agree any new proposals for consultation.

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

18. Local boards will have further opportunities to provide information and views as the council progresses through the Annual Budget 2019/2020 process.

19. Aucklanders will have the opportunity to give feedback on regional and local proposals contained in the Annual Budget 2019/2020. All feedback received from submitters residing in the local board area will be analysed by staff and made available for consideration by the board, prior to finalising their local board agreement.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

20. Many local board decisions are of importance to and impact on Māori. Local board agreements and the annual budget are important tools that enable and can demonstrate the council’s responsiveness to Māori. Local board plans, which were adopted in September and October of 2017, form the basis for local priorities.

21. The approach to Māori engagement for the Annual Budget will be finalised once consultation topics are confirmed, including development of bespoke materials subject to interest level of topics and confirmation of budget.

22. Regionally supported local Māori engagement in the South and West will be provided subject to interest level of topics and confirmation of budget, this will be integrated with Water Strategy engagement.

23. Mana Whenua engagement on the Water Strategy is already underway, and will run throughout the March consultation period, annual budget discussions will be integrated with this process.

24. There is a need to continue to build relationships between local boards and iwi, and where relevant the wider Māori community. Ongoing conversations will assist local boards and Māori to understand each other’s priorities and issues. This in turn can influence and encourage Māori participation in the council’s decision-making processes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

25. Event associated costs include venue hire and catering.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

26. Local boards must agree their local consultation content and supporting information by 13 December 2018, in order for it to be formatted and reviewed in time to be incorporated into the Annual Budget 2019/2020 consultation document and supporting information.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

27. The Governing Body will approve the consultation document, supporting information and consultation process for the Annual Budget 2019/2020 on 13 February 2019.

28. Following consultation, the Governing Body and local boards will make decisions on the Annual Budget 2019/2020 and Local Board Agreements 2019/2020 respectively.
