Disposal recommendations report - Whangaparāoa Road and Brightside Road properties
File No.: CP2019/04555
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board’s endorsement for Panuku Development Auckland to recommend to the Finance and Performance Committee the disposal of 23 council owned properties in the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The properties at 4 and 6 Brightside Road, 472, 474, 476, 478, 480, 482, 484, 486, 488, 1/490, 2/491, 492, 494, 496, 498, 498B, 500, 502, 599, 616A Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay and 750A Whangaparāoa Road, Manly were acquired for transport purposes. The properties are no longer required for this purpose. Consultation with council and its council controlled organisations and the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board has now taken place.
3. Panuku Development Auckland discussed the proposed disposal of the subject properties at a workshop with the local board in March 2019. The local board provided informal feedback that did not support a disposal and that it may seek to retain parts of the properties for future roading. Advice was provided to the local board confirming that no public work requirement to retain the properties had been identified and confirming offer back obligations to former owners in accordance with section 40 of the Public Works act 1981.
4. As no current or future public work use has been identified for the subject properties through the rationalisation process, Panuku Development Auckland recommends that they be divested.
|
Recommendation/s That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board: a) endorse Panuku Development Auckland’s recommendation to the Finance and Performance Committee to dispose of the following properties: i) 4 Brightside Road, Stanmore Bay; ii) 6 Brightside Road, Stanmore Bay; iii) 472 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; iv) 474 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; v) 476 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; vi) 478 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; vii) 480 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; viii) 482 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; ix) 484 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; x) 486 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; xi) 488 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; xii) 1/490 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; xiii) 2/490 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; xiv) 492 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; xv) 494 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; xvi) 496 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; xvii) 498 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; xviii) 498B Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; xix) 500 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; xx) 502 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; xxi) 599 Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; xxii) 616A Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay; and xxiii) 750A Whangaparāoa Road, Manly.

Context
5. Panuku Development Auckland (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 public work purposes 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 (long term plan) 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.
6. Once a property has been identified as potentially no longer required for public work purposes, Panuku engages with council departments and its council controlled organisations (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 public work. Once a property has been internally cleared of any public work 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.

Analysis and advice
Property information
7. The former Rodney District Council acquired 4 and 6 Brightside Road, Stanmore Bay, 472, 474, 476, 478, 480, 482, 484, 486, 488, 1/490, 2/490, 492, 494, 496, 498, 498B, 500, 502, 599, 616A Whangaparāoa Road, Stanmore Bay and 750A Whangaparāoa Road, Manly from 1996 to 2001 for the legacy Whangaparāoa Road widening project.
8. A Whangaparāoa Road widening project is not included as a funded project in the Regional Land Long Term Plan 2018-2028. Auckland Transport (AT) has confirmed the subject properties are not required for Penlink.
9. In 2018 the AT Board resolved that the properties are no longer required for its transport infrastructure purposes and the properties were subsequently transferred to council in order to progress thorough the property rationalisation process.
10. The properties at 4 and 6 Brightside Road, 472, 474, 476, 478, 480, 482, 484, 492, 494, 496, , 498B, 500 and 599 Whangaparāoa Road, and 750A Whangaparāoa Road are vacant sites. The properties at 486, 488, 1/490, 2/490, 498, 502 and 616A Whangaparāoa Road, are residential properties.
11. The subject properties are all zoned Residential - Single House. The properties have a combined council rating valuation of $13.9 million.
12. The properties at 472, 474, 476, 478, 480, 486, 488, 1/490, 2/490, 492, 494, 496, 498B, 500, 502, 599 and 616A Whangaparāoa Road are subject to offer back obligations to the former owners in accordance with section 40 of the Public Works Act 1981.

Council group impacts and views
Internal Consultation
13. The internal consultation for the subject Whangaparāoa Road and Brightside Road properties was undertaken in March 2019.
14. Council’s Heritage team advised that the subject properties have no heritage assets or issues.
15. Council’s Community Facilities department did not identify a requirement to retain the subject properties to deliver a current or future council community facilities, places or leasing service use.
16. No alternative planned or funded public work requirement for the subject properties was identified through the internal consultation process. Accordingly, the subject properties are now recommended for disposal.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
17. Panuku attended a workshop with the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board in March 2019. At the workshop the local board provided informal feedback regarding the lack of notification or consultation from AT regarding the future of the subject properties.
18. In response advice was given regarding the transfer of non-service assets from AT to council, the property history investigations undertaken and the internal consultation as part of the rationalisation process prior to local board engagement.
19. The local board also questioned if council can retain only the parts of the properties subject to the Auckland Unitary Plan (AUP) road widening designation and dispose of the residue. Advice was provided to the local board that as the subject properties are not required for a planned and identified public work, they will likely trigger the offer back requirements under section 40 of the Public Works Act 1981. In addition, advice was also given that subdividing the properties would create separate titles with no legal access, requiring approval by Land Information New Zealand.
20. This report provides the local board with an opportunity to formalise its views regarding the properties.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
21. Relevant mana whenua iwi authorities were contacted regarding the potential divestment of the subject Whangaparāoa Road and Brightside Road properties. Due to the timeframes involved with this recommended disposal that feedback was not available at the time of the report being written; once the feedback is available, Panuku will table this at the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board’s April meeting.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
22. Capital receipts from the sale of properties contribute to Auckland Plan outcomes and the 10-year budget (long-term plan) 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 10-year budget (long term plan) has forecast the disposal of non-strategic assets to the value of of $24 million.
23. In accordance with the Local Government Act 2002, the annual Panuku Statement of Intent (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.
24. The 23 subject properties are not required by council for a current or future public work requirement that is funded or can realistically be funded in the future. To retain non-service properties for an undefined purpose is contrary to council’s Revenue and Funding Policy principles and would require support from the Finance and Performance Committee given the impact of not realising the sale of the non-service properties, and to allocate the operational budget required to hold the sites.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
25. The subject properties were all acquired by the former Rodney District Council for roading purposes. As such, the properties are considered to have been acquired for a “public work” for the purposes of section 40 of the Public Works Act 1981.
26. Accordingly, if 472, 474, 476, 478, 480, 486, 488, 1/490, 2/490, 492, 494, 496, 498B, 500, 502, 599 and 616A Whangaparāoa Road are not required for the public work for which they were acquired and held, and are not required for a planned and identified public work, they will likely trigger the offer back requirements under section 40 of the Act.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
27. Following receipt of the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board’s resolution, the properties will be presented to the Finance and Performance Committee.
28. AT will uplift the AUP Whangaparāoa Road widening designation from 472, 474, 476, 478, 480, 482, 484, 486, 488, 1/490, 2/490, 492, 494, 496, 498, 498B, 500, 502 Whangaparāoa Road and 4 Brightside Road following an approval to dispose.

Metro Park multi-sport pavilion design scope
File No.: CP2019/05385
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek approval of the proposed design scope for the Metro Park East multi-sport pavilion building from the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. In 2017, a feasibility study was completed for a multi-sport pavilion building at Metro Park East.
3. In 2018, the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board allocated $108,322 to the Metro Park Community Sport Charitable Trust towards the design-build plans for the multi-sport pavilion project.
4. In 2018, the Rodney Districts Sports and Community Association joined discussions regarding the multi-sport pavilion project, becoming a trustee along with Silverdale Rugby Club in 2019.
5. Through analysis it was identified by the Metro Park Community Sport Charitable Trust that the need for facilities had changed with the additional intended use, requiring an increase in the building footprint from 286m2 to 400m2.
6. The associated impact of the increase in footprint is an increase in build cost from between $900,000-$1.4m to between $1.4m-$1.6m.
7. The Metro Park Community Sport Charitable Trust developed a revised scope.
8. The Metro Park Community Sport Charitable Trust requires approval of the proposed design scope from the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board to progress.
|
Recommendation/s That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board: a) endorse the concept design scope for the Metro Park East multi-sport pavilion to increase from 286 square metres to 400 square metres to enable the Metro Park Community Sports Charitable Trust to progress the project to developed design. b) note that the Metro Park Community Sports Charitable Trust will subsequently apply for a community lease for the development and occupation of the proposed multi-sport pavilion. |
Horopaki
Context
9. In 2017 Opus completed a feasibility study for a multi-sport pavilion building at Metro Park East.
10. The feasibility study assessed the needs of the proposed user groups and provided the following recommendations for the pavilion building:
- two changing rooms
- umpire changing room
- four uni-sex toilets externally accessible
- storage space
- social area
- medical room
- tuck shop space
- small control room
- deck with seating for meeting and socialising
11. In June 2018 $108,322 was granted to the Metro Park Community Sport Charitable Trust (the Trust) for detailed design of the multi-sport pavilion. At the time it was understood that an additional $42,000 would be required for the group to complete construction drawings, which was to be raised from non-council funding sources.
12. In 2018, Rodney Districts Sports and Community Association joined discussions for the proposed multi-sport pavilion building. Rodney Districts Sports and Community Association is currently providing football at Metro Park East and expects to expand their delivery of sport codes in the future. In 2018, Silverdale Rugby recognised the multi-sport pavilion building as a need for the delivery of their satellite programme. In 2019, Rodney Districts Sports and Community Association and Silverdale Rugby became trustees represented on the Trust.
13. Due to the increased patronage of the proposed pavilion, the Trust have identified a need for a revision of the original design scope. The new design brief has provided additional toilets, changing sheds and storage. It is proposed that the building footprint increases from 286m2 to 400m2, with an additional deck area of 78m2.
14. The original pavilion estimate was between $900,000 - $1.4m, subject to build type. At an industry standard build rate of $3,500 per m2, it is estimated that the pavilion and deck will now cost between $1.4m-$1.6m. This is a potential escalation in build costs from when the original funding resolution was made.
15. A preferred supplier, Pure Design, has been identified through a tender process. A scope of services indicates they will be able to deliver the developed design to the original budget.
16. The Trust have identified ‘Option Two’ in Attachment A as the preferred concept design, however further investigation will be required by the group to ensure it meets the needs of all user groups.
Previous decisions
17. On 16 May 2018 the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board approved a grant of $108,322 through a reallocation of 2017/2018 underspent Locally Driven Initiative operational funding, to the Trust for development of multi-sport pavilion design-build plans, to be delivered within the 2019 financial year. Resolution number HB/2018/67.
18. In 2018 the project was assessed by an independent panel against the Auckland Sport Sector - Facility Priorities Plan. The project received endorsement from the panel as a priority one initiative.
19. Funders have informally agreed the Auckland Ssort Sector - Facility Priorities Plan endorsement is a strong indicator of project value and alignment to sport and recreation outcomes.
20. The Trust have approved ‘Option Two’ in Attachment A and the design scope in Attachment B.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
21. The Trust’s preferred option (Option Two) in Attachment A provides a high-level draft concept design for the multi-sport pavilion.
22. The preferred option requires two additional changing and ablution blocks. However, the provision of four changing rooms at Metro Park East is consistent with the Parks Sport and Recreation Service Guidelines for provision of changing room and toilets on sports parks.
23. The preferred option also requires additional storage. The increase in storage space is associated to the increased number of user groups and participants at Metro Park East and is essential for activation, as indicated by the number of temporary containers currently on the park.
24. There is no significant increase to social space requirements.
25. Rodney Districts Sports and Community Association have reported a current membership base of 300.
26. The proposed design delivers future proofing elements of the building to allow for increased use of both the multi-sport pavilion and sports park in the future.

Horopaki
Context
7. Local board agreements form part of the Auckland Council’s annual budget and set out local funding priorities, budgets, levels of service and performance measures. This report details local board decisions and recommendations that need to be made in April/early-May 2019 to allow them to be considered by the Governing Body in the annual budget process.
8. Local boards also advocate to the Governing Body for funding for projects that cannot be accommodated within their local budgets. These advocacy initiatives are attached as an appendix to the local board agreement.
9. Local boards are responsible for providing local input into regional strategies, policies and plans. Local board plans reflect community priorities and preferences and are key documents that guide both the development of local board agreements and input into regional plans.
10. Auckland Council publicly consulted on the following two plans from 17 February to 17 March 2019:
· annual budget (which includes both regional issues and local board key priorities)
· the proposed amendment to the 10-year budget.
11. Across the region, 2278 people attended 65 engagement events, including five in the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area. Feedback was received through written, event and social media channels.
12. Consultation feedback on the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board priorities for 2019/2020 and on regional proposals in the Annual Budget 2019/2020 and the proposed amendment to the 10‑year budget regarding property transfers from people or organisations based in the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area are set out in Attachment A. The feedback on local board priorities will be considered by the local board before they agree their local board agreement in early June 2019.
13. The complete feedback received from the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area is shown in Attachments B, C, D and E to the agenda report.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
Local financial matters for the local board agreement
14. This report allows the local board to agree its input and recommend other local financial matters to the Governing Body in early May 2019. This is to allow time for the Governing Body to consider these items in the annual budget process (decisions made in June 2019).
Local targeted rate and business improvement district targeted rate proposals
15. Local boards are required to endorse any new locally targeted rate proposals or business improvement district (BID) targeted rate proposals in their local board area (noting that any new local targeted rates and/or BIDs must have been consulted on before they can be implemented).
Funding for locally driven initiatives
16. Local boards are allocated funding annually to spend on local projects or programmes that are important to their communities. This funding is for ‘locally driven initiatives’ (LDI). Local boards can approve LDI capital projects up to $1 million; projects over that amount need approval from the Governing Body.
17. Local boards can recommend to the Governing Body to convert LDI operational funding to capital expenditure for 2019/2020 if there is a specific need to do so, or Governing Body approval may be needed for the release of local board specific reserve funds, which are funds being held by the council for a specific purpose.
18. Local boards can defer LDI projects where there was an agreed scope and cost, but the project/s have not been delivered.
Local board advocacy
19. Local boards are requested to approve any advocacy initiatives for consideration by the Governing Body and inclusion (as an appendix) to the 2019/2020 Local Board Agreement, noting that in this triennium, a longer-term approach has been taken to progress initiatives that are unable to be funded by local board budgets. The approach used the annual budget, 10-year budget and local board plan processes to progress and advise on a narrower range of local board initiatives in a more comprehensive way.
20. As part of the 10-year Budget 2018-2028, additional funding was provided to progress the priority advocacy initiative of each local board (the one local initiative (OLI)). All OLIs are progressing with funding either allocated or earmarked in the 10-year budget.
Local board input on regional plans
21. 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 provide input on two plans, the Annual Budget 2019/2020 and the proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 regarding property transfers.
Regional issues in the Annual Budget 2019/2020
22. The annual budget sets out Auckland Council priorities and how it is going to pay for them. The regional consultation on the proposed annual budget focused on two topics:
· changes to rates and fees
o annual waste management changes
o food scraps targeted rate
o Waitākere rural sewerage targeted rate
o urban boundary rating
o rating of religious use properties
o regulatory fees
· draft Tūpuna Maunga o Tamaki Makaurau Authority – Operational Plan 2019/2020.
23. The consultation on the annual budget also included key priorities for each local board area. Decisions on local board priorities will be made when local board agreements are considered in June 2019.
24. The feedback form contained one question relating to changes to rates and fees. Consultation feedback received from the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area on key regional issues in the annual budget are summarised in Attachment A, along with an overview of any other areas of feedback on regional proposals with a local impact.
25. Local boards may wish to provide feedback on these regional issues for consideration by the Governing Body.
The proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 regarding property transfers
26. The regional consultation on the proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 focused on a proposal to transfer the legal ownership of $790 million of city centre waterfront properties from Panuku to Auckland Council. Panuku would continue to manage the properties. The resulting ownership structure would reduce governance duplication, increase consistency with other development areas and maximise future flexibility.
27. The feedback form contained one question relating to this proposed amendment. Consultation feedback received from the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area on the proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 regarding property transfers is summarised in Attachment A.
28. Local boards may wish to provide feedback on the proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 regarding property transfers for consideration by the Governing Body.
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
29. The Annual Budget 2019/2020 is an Auckland Council group document and will include budgets at a consolidated group level. Consultation items and updates to budgets to reflect decisions and new information may include items from across the group.
30. The key impact of the proposed amendment to the 10-year budget regarding property transfers on the group is the potential impact on Panuku. Panuku staff and board have been engaged in the development of these options. The Governing Body will make their decision regarding this on 20 June 2019.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
31. Local board decisions and feedback are being sought in this report. Local boards have a statutory role in providing local board feedback on regional plans.
32. Local boards play an important role in the development of the annual budget and local board agreements form part of the annual budget. Local board nominees have also attended Finance and Performance Committee workshops on the annual budget, and a special briefing was arranged on the proposed amendment to the 10-year budget regarding property transfers.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
33. 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 council’s responsiveness to Māori.
34. Local board plans, which were developed in 2017 through engagement with the community including Māori, form the basis of local priorities. There is a need to continue to build relationships between local boards and iwi, and where relevant the wider Māori community.
35. Attachment A includes analysis of submissions made by mana whenua and mataawaka entities who have interests in the rohe/local board area.
36. 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 council’s decision-making processes.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
37. This report is asking for local board decisions on financial matters in local board agreements that need to then be considered by the Governing Body.
38. Local boards are also providing input to regional plans. There is information in the consultation material for each plan with the financial implications of different options.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
39. Local boards need to make recommendations on these local financial matters for the Annual Budget 2019/2020 by 8 May 2019, in order for the Governing Body to be able to make decisions on them when considering the annual budget in May 2019.
Ngā koringa ā-muri

ii. it has complied with the terms of the operative lease
iii. it has a history of delivering its services to the local community
iv. the Association is managed appropriately, as evidenced by its extensive use
v. the Association has provided a copy of its financial accounts which indicate that its funds are sufficient to meet its liabilities, and that it possesses adequate financial reserves.
19. In addition to applying for a lease renewal, the Association has also requested certain amendments to the operative agreement.
20. The changes relating to insurance and hireage provisions, as stated in the recommendations, are relatively minor and staff recommend that these amendments be incorporated into the deed of renewal.
21. The Association has also requested a change to the operative maintenance provisions, transferring exterior hall maintenance to Auckland Council. Feedback was sought from Asset Management Intelligence Support, Operational Management and Maintenance, as well as Legal Services, and there are no concerns regarding this amendment.
22. In order to align the renewal and variation to Auckland Council’s Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012, staff recommend that the maintenance and public liability provisions of the current lease be updated.
23. It is recommended that the renewal, together with the proposed variations, be granted.

Council group impacts and views
24. In compiling the recommendations contained in this report, staff have obtained feedback from Legal Services, Asset Management Intelligence Support, as well as Operational Management and Maintenance.
25. None of the above departments have raised any concerns and their input has been incorporated into this report.
26. The proposed lease renewal and variation has no identified impacts on other parts of the council group. The views of council-controlled organisations were not required for the preparation of this report’s advice
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
27. This is an approved item on the Community Facilities Work Programme for 2018/2019, and the local board expressed their support for the renewal and variation request at two workshops held on 12 July 2018 and on 6 December 2018 respectively.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
28. Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi, which is articulated in the council’s key strategic planning documents the Auckland Plan, the Long-term Plan 2015-2025, the Unitary Plan and Local Board Plans.
29. An aim of community leasing is to increase targeted support for Māori community development projects. This proposal seeks to improve access to facilities for all Aucklanders, including Māori living in the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area.
30. There are no changes to the use or operational activities being conducted on the land.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
31. There are no direct costs to council associated with this lease renewal. However, the variation to the maintenance provisions will increase council’s financial obligations in the future, as council contractors will need to undertake the maintenance work.
32. Scheduled annual maintenance is forecasted to be $2,130.00. Responsive works can be in the region of $4,608.00 per annum, if additional maintenance is required. The true cost of responsive works is probably lower than the quoted amount, as the Association remains responsible for interior hall maintenance.
33. Council’s expected recovery is $500.00 per annum, through the subsidised annual maintenance fee, applicable to council-owned buildings leased to community groups.
34. Feedback from Asset Management Intelligence Support indicate that the renewal of the hall’s exterior would have been undertaken by council in any event, and the proposed lease variation has no internal financial impact.
35. Council’s insurance advisors have informed staff that the building is already covered by council’s building insurance, and the proposed lease variation has no additional financial impact.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
36. If the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board resolves not to grant the renewal of the lease to the Association, the Association’s ability to undertake its core activities will be materially affected. Additionally, Auckland Council has a contractual obligation to affect the renewal, if the conditions under the renewal provision have been complied with.
37. There is no obligation to affect the proposed variations, however, the variations will allow the lease to better align with Auckland Council’s Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012, and to better reflect the actual allocation of the maintenance and insurance obligations.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
38. Subject to the local board granting the variation and renewal of the community lease, council’s community leasing staff will work with the Association to execute a deed of renewal and variation

Analysis and advice
6. 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 names for the local board’s approval.
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 Māori names is actively encouraged.
The applicant has submitted the following names for consideration.
|
Preferred Name |
Meaning |
|
The Bays Rise
|
The term “The Bays” is commonly used and known as being synonymous with the stretch of coast the development is in. The development gently rises from Beach Road. |
|
Alternative Names |
Meaning |
|
Seaboard Way
Coastline Way
Nearshore Rise |
As above these names reflect the general connection of the development to the East Coast Bays coastal area.
|
8. The names reflect the applicants desire to use names that show a general connection to the East Coast Bays coastal area.
9. The applicant has contacted all local iwi groups, (16), associated with the locality and received four responses. The iwi that responded either deferred to other iwi or had no objection or alternative name suggestions to the applicants names.
10. Land Information New Zealand has confirmed that the proposed road names are unique and acceptable.
