Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To adopt the Pukekohe-Paerata Paths Plan.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       In 2014 the Franklin Local Board embarked on the development of their Franklin Trails Plan with a focus on walking, cycling and horse riding connections throughout the local board area.

3.       Given Franklin’s vast geographical spread the board resolved to take a staged approach to the planned development.  The first two stages of the overall plan (Pohutukawa Coast and Waiuku) have been formally approved and the Pukekohe-Paerata Paths Plan is the next to be approved.

4.       In early 2018 the Franklin Local Board began work on the Pukekohe-Paerata Paths Plan. Staff and the Franklin Local Board agreed on a format for the development of the plan which would extend from Pukekohe and to Paerata aligned with the Pukekohe-Paerata Structure Plan area.

5.       The draft plan was workshopped with the board in May 2018 and approved for community engagement.

6.       Engagement on the draft plan involved a number of drop-in sessions at several venues in Pukekohe.  Feedback was overwhelmingly supportive of the connections identified.

7.       Primary schools in Buckland, Pukekohe and Paerata along with both the Pukekohe Intermediate and High School(s) were engaged for feedback. Each school established a focus group reflective of age groups within the school. Feedback was enthusiastic and positive.

8.       Mana whenua were engaged through the Southern Parks Hui and the Southern Structure Plan mana whenua forum.

9.       Feedback was incorporated into the draft Pukekohe-Paerata Paths Plan and the priority connections identified within the document, the draft plan was workshopped with the board in October 2018.

10.     It is recommended that the Franklin Local Board adopt the Pukekohe-Paerata Paths Plan.                                                                                                                                  

 

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Franklin Local Board:

a)      adopt the Pukekohe-Paerata Paths Plan - an Aspirational Plan (attachment A of the report entitled ‘Pukekohe-Paerata Paths Plan’)

 

 

Horopaki / Context

11.     The board has made a decision to stage the development of the Franklin Paths Plan. The Pohutukawa Coast and Waiuku sections have recently been completed and formalised. In the financial year 2018-19 the board resolved to complete the Pukekohe-Paerata Paths Plan.

12.     The paths plan has been developed alongside the Pukekohe-Paerata Structure Plan. Both plans reflect the patterns of land use, transport and service network within the defined area, improving the potential effects of urbanisation and development, identifying aspirational cycling and walking connections.

13.     The draft document has been developed in three phases:

-     Draft the network

-     Analysis

-     Refine the network and present to the board for adoption

14.     The paths plan is an aspirational long term project to be used by the Franklin Local Board and its stakeholders to deliver their priority connection projects for the Pukekohe-Paerata area.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

15.     The engagement process on the Pukekohe-Paerata Paths Plan has involved workshops with the local board and mana whenua as well as engagement with internal, external stakeholders whose input and feedback has contributed to the final draft plan.

16.     The plan area has been sectioned into ten distinct areas with identified potential routes that have resulted in nine priority connection projects recommended for the board to consider in future work programmes.  

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

17.     The Franklin Local Board initiated their Franklin Paths Plan (previously ‘Trails’) in 2014 identifying it as a key outcome of their Local Board Plan and subsequently continued their commitment to this project in their Local Board Plan of 2017.

18.     The board has completed two stages of the Franklin Paths Plan which has involved engagement with mana whenua, community and internal stakeholders that has resulted in positive feedback and support for this plan.

19.     The board remains committed to the process to develop Franklin Paths Plan, committed operational funding and support for the implementation of community-led projects identified in both the Pohutukawa Coast and Waiuku Paths Plans.

20.     This plan provides a number of priority connections and the scope to develop community-led initiatives a board focus for the delivery of approved projects.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

21.     Mana whenua have been engaged through two forums in the development of this plan; the mana whenua Southern Structure Plan working group and the Southern Parks Hui.

22.     Mana whenua have supported the process that the Franklin Local Board has embarked on to complete a Franklin Paths Plan and will continue to focus on the following areas associated with any subsequent staged path developments:

-     Water quality and protection of waterways from pollution e.g. horse droppings

-     Separation of horses from other recreational users of trails

-     Restorative planting to be given a high priority e.g. riparian margins and the ongoing management of this planting must be ensured

-     Trails developed within new developments areas must be developed in accordance with current Auckland Council best practice design standards

-     Ongoing maintenance and management of paths is seen as a challenge for Council ongoing operational maintenance and management by mana whenua  who wish to see maintenance schedules for paths, strengthened

-     New development adjoining trails should have a park edge road design element and take account of safety and visibility strengths

-     The completed and adopted plan is to be forwarded to mana whenua 

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

23.     The board has budgeted through their LDI opex funding for continued development of the Franklin Paths Plan. On completion of the Pukekohe-Paerata Paths section, the next design stage will be confirmed with the board and then initiated.

24.     LDI opex of $50,000 has been allocated in 2018-19 to continue the development of the paths plan for Franklin:

-     Consult on the Pukekohe-Paerata Paths Plan and approve the final plan

-     Develop the Drury to Waiuku stage of the Franklin Paths Plan. This stage will focus on connections being developed in a number of growth areas linked to Pukekohe and Waiuku connecting to SHWY1 – Glenbrook (Kahawai Point), Kingseat, Karaka, Paerata Rise, Drury West (Auranga), Clarks Beach and Patumahoe

25.     A workshop will be held with the Board in early 2019 to confirm the scope for this next stage of the Franklin Paths Plan.

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

26.     The Board has resolved that delivery outcomes on their aspirational paths plan will involve collaboration with key stakeholders such as Auckland Transport, Healthy Waters and developer’s along with community led path development. This potentially will share the direct cost of implementation of specific path connections. The lack of a plan at this point is a minor risk as development in Pukekohe-Paerata unfolds.

27.     Priority routes have been identified within the plan; however scoping of these routes has not yet been done, and estimates of cost have not been established. The lack of projected costs and implementation details at this point is a risk.  

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

28.     The Pukekohe-Paerata Paths Plan will be used by the board as a guiding document to support future development within the defined area by both internal infrastructure departments and external development organisations.

29.     The final plan will also assist in supporting community led groups wishing to be directly involved in the delivery of priority connection outcomes within the Pukekohe-Paerata Paths Plan.

30.     This final plan is an aspirational document which is to be implemented over the next ten to twenty years. Successful implementation will rely on a co-ordinated approach between the board and its stakeholders.

31.     The board has indicated that it will look to develop community-led initiatives in the delivery of path projects as it has with the Pohutukawa Coast and Waiuku plans.

32.     A community-led development model is evolving, supported by the board. It is anticipated that community-led projects will develop within the Pukekohe-Paerata Paths area that will assist in the implementation of the plan.

33.     Collaborative initiatives involving internal stakeholders as well as external will be encouraged as a major means of the delivering the approved priority connections.
