1          Welcome

 

2          Apologies

 

An apology from Deputy Chairperson L Whyte has been received.

 

3          Declaration of Interest

 

Members are reminded of the need to be vigilant to stand aside from decision making when a conflict arises between their role as a member and any private or other external interest they might have.

The Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members (the code) requires elected members to fully acquaint themselves with, and strictly adhere to, the provisions of Auckland Council’s Conflicts of Interest Policy. The policy covers two classes of conflict of interest:

i.      a financial conflict of interest, which is one where a decision or act of the local board could reasonably give rise to an expectation of financial gain or loss to an elected member

ii.     a non-financial conflict interest, which does not have a direct personal financial component. It may arise, for example, from a personal relationship, or involvement with a non-profit organisation, or from conduct that indicates prejudice or predetermination.

The Office of the Auditor General has produced guidelines to help elected members understand the requirements of the Local Authority (Member’s Interest) Act 1968. The guidelines discuss both types of conflicts in more detail, and provide elected members with practical examples and advice around when they may (or may not) have a conflict of interest.

Copies of both the Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members and the Office of the Auditor General guidelines are available for inspection by members upon request. 

Any questions relating to the code or the guidelines may be directed to the Relationship Manager in the first instance.

 

4          Confirmation of Minutes

 

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a)         confirm the ordinary minutes of its meeting, held on Thursday, 21 March 2019, as a true and correct record.

 

 

5          Leave of Absence

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for leave of absence had been received.

 

6          Acknowledgements

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for acknowledgements had been received.

 

7          Petitions

 

At the close of the agenda no requests to present petitions had been received.


 

 

8          Deputations

 

Standing Order 7.7 provides for deputations. Those applying for deputations are required to give seven working days notice of subject matter and applications are approved by the Chairperson of the Upper Harbour Local Board. This means that details relating to deputations can be included in the published agenda. Total speaking time per deputation is ten minutes or as resolved by the meeting.

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for deputations had been received.

 

9          Public Forum

 

A period of time (approximately 30 minutes) is set aside for members of the public to address the meeting on matters within its delegated authority. A maximum of 3 minutes per item is allowed, following which there may be questions from members.

 

At the close of the agenda no requests for public forum had been received.

 

10        Extraordinary Business

 

Section 46A(7) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (as amended) states:

“An item that is not on the agenda for a meeting may be dealt with at that meeting if-

(b)        The presiding member explains at the meeting, at a time when it is open to the public,-

(i)         The reason why the item is not on the agenda; and

(ii)        The reason why the discussion of the item cannot be delayed until a subsequent meeting.”

Section 46A(7A) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (as amended) states:

“Where an item is not on the agenda for a meeting,-

(a)        That item may be discussed at that meeting if-

(i)         That item is a minor matter relating to the general business of the local authority; and

(ii)        the presiding member explains at the beginning of the meeting, at a time when it is open to the public, that the item will be discussed at the meeting; but

(b)        no resolution, decision or recommendation may be made in respect of that item except to refer that item to a subsequent meeting of the local authority for further discussion.”

Disposal recommendations report - 131 (part) Clark Road, Hobsonville

File No.: CP2019/00488

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       This report seeks the Upper Harbour Local Board’s endorsement for Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) to recommend to the Finance and Performance Committee the disposal of one council-owned property in the Upper Harbour Local Board area.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The subject part of 131 Clark Road, Hobsonville, is a mixed use 4.236ha property. It was acquired for strategic open space and future planning purposes. The subject area recommended for disposal comprises two parts forming approximately 5500m2 in total. The proposed disposal is for a planned neighbourhood centre and housing and urban renewal purposes, in accordance with the Scott Point Precinct Plan 3.

3.       The rationalisation process commenced in December 2017. Consultation with council and its council-controlled organisations (CCOs), iwi authorities and the Upper Harbour Local Board has now taken place. Panuku discussed the proposed disposal of the subject part of 131 Clark Road at a workshop with the local board in March 2019. The board provided informal feedback that it may seek to retain part of the property for an unplanned and unfunded community use. Advice was later provided to the board confirming that no further community service provision is required by council for the Hobsonville/Scott Point area.

4.       As no current or future public work use has been identified for the subject part of 131 Clark Road through the rationalisation process, Panuku recommends that it be divested for commercial and housing purposes in accordance with the Scott Point Precinct Plan 3.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a)      endorse Panuku Development Auckland’s recommendation to the Finance and Performance Committee to dispose of part of 131 Clark Road, Hobsonville, comprising approximately 5,500m2 (subject to survey) for commercial and housing outcomes in accordance with the Scott Point Precinct Plan 3.

 

 

Horopaki

Context

5.       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 CCOs through an expression of interest (EOI) process, to establish whether the property must be retained for a strategic purpose or is required for a future funded public work.

7.       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

8.       The subject part of 131 Clark Road has an area of approximately 4.236ha. It is the residual land from a larger 4.478ha property acquired by the former Waitākere City Council in 2007 for strategic open space and future planning purposes. Records indicate that the property was acquired for general purposes and not for a public work.

9.       Part of the original property facing Scott Road has been vested as road to provide access to adjacent housing developments. Since 2010, the two commercial tenancies and one residential tenancy located at 131 Clark Road have been managed by Auckland Council Properties Limited (ACPL) and subsequently, Panuku.

10.     The subject part of 131 Clark Road is located within the Scott Point precinct. The purpose of the precinct is to provide for the comprehensive and integrated development of Scott Point, to increase the supply of housing, and to make efficient use of land and infrastructure. The precinct will provide for a residential area integrated with public transport and movement networks, a neighbourhood centre, a range of public open spaces, and a variety of housing options.

11.     The Scott Point Precinct Plan 3 plans for the development of a sports park, a neighbourhood centre, an area for housing and urban renewal and road encompassing all of 131 Clark Road and adjoining land that was also acquired by council. 

12.     The subject part of 131 Clark Road intended for the proposed neighbourhood centre and housing and urban renewal purposes comprises two parcels and will be intersected by an internal road bisecting the proposed sports park. The intended disposal of approximately 5,500m2 is in accordance with the Scott Point Precinct Plan 3 and allows for suitable commercial and housing development in a comprehensive and integrated manner with adjacent private development.

13.     Panuku has worked with council departments to support future public work requirements for the property. In 2017, the council and Panuku agreed that the subject part of 131 Clark Road intended for disposal could be subject to the property rationalisation process while the planning and design work for the proposed sports park was underway. This would enable council to confirm the future of the property following the completion of these works.

14.     The Auckland Unitary Plan zoning for the subject part of 131 Clark Road is Business-Neighbourhood Centre, Residential-Mixed Housing Urban and Open Space - Conservation. The area proposed for disposal has a desktop valuation of $2.14 million.

15.     The property at 131 Clark Road is not subject to offer back obligations in accordance with section 40 of the Public Works Act 1981.

 

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

16.     The internal consultation for the subject part of 131 Clark Road was undertaken in December 2017. 

17.     Auckland Council’s Heritage team advised there were no built heritage issues associated with the property.

18.     Auckland Council’s Closed Landfill and Contaminated Land team assessed that the entirety of 131 Clark Road may have constraints relating to its historical intensive horticultural land use. A change of land use will trigger the National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil, and this will need to be considered in the resource consent process for the planning and design work for the proposed sports park. This may also impact on any change of land use and future development of the part of 131 Clark Road subject to rationalisation.

19.     Council’s Plans and Places department assessed that the disposal of the subject part of 131 Clark Road will enable development of the planned neighbourhood centre and the mixed housing urban zoned land consistent with the Scott Point Precinct Plan 3.

20.     Auckland Council’s Community Facilities department did not identify a requirement to retain the subject part of the property to deliver a current or future council community facility, place or leasing service use.

21.     Auckland Council’s Parks and Recreation Policy team undertook a review of 131 Clark Road against council’s open space acquisition policy and open space provision policy. It was assessed that the majority of the property is being retained by council for the proposed sports park and will contribute to the community’s parks and open space needs. The area subject to rationalisation is not required to establish open space connections, and that a disposal of the part of 131 Clark Road not required for open space purposes is supported. The team also sought confirmation that the area proposed for disposal aligns with planning and land take requirements for the proposed sports park.

22.     Auckland Council’s Parks, Sports and Recreation department and Auckland Transport (AT) both subsequently submitted EOIs requesting additional time to confirm their respective public work requirements for 131 Clark Road and to complete the designs for the proposed sports parks and adjacent transport infrastructure. Subsequently, Panuku liaised with council and AT and confirmed that the work outlined in the EOIs would be completed by late 2018-early 2019.

23.     Following the adoption of the Scott Point Sustainable Sports Park Master Plan by the Upper Harbour Local Board in February 2018, discussions between Panuku, Auckland Council’s Sports Parks Design and Programme team, Auckland Council’s Stakeholder and Land Advisory Team and AT established project timeframes and also discussed what controls council has at its disposal to ensure a suitable interface between any future commercial development and the sports park.

24.     In February 2019, the Sports Parks Design and Programme team advised that an amended design and boundary adjustment for the sports park no longer requires the removal of the residential property at 131 Clark Road. However, the Open Space – Conservation zoning for part of the residential use area will limit future development, and this would need to be addressed by a plan change if the subject area is approved for disposal.

25.     AT also confirmed the design of the road intersection now necessitates a roundabout, requiring an increased land take. The Stakeholder and Land Advisory team advised it will undertake the land owner approval process in order for the adjacent private developer to construct the roundabout and the adjoining external road network. Once complete, the road network will be vested with council.

26.     Following the work undertaken by the relevant council business units in March 2019, Panuku was able to confirm that there was no planned and identified need for council to retain the subject parcels of 131 Clark Road intended for the proposed neighbourhood centre and for housing and urban renewal purposes. Accordingly, this area is recommended for disposal.

Local impacts and local board views

27.     In March 2019, Panuku attended a workshop with the Upper Harbour Local Board. At the workshop, the local board provided informal feedback regarding utilising the residential property at 131 Clark Road for a potential community service use.

28.     In response, Panuku liaised with council’s Arts, Community and Events department and a response was provided to the local board advising that council has acquired two fit-for-purpose community facilities to serve the Hobsonville/Scott Point community; specifically, the ‘Headquarters’ community hub at Buckley Avenue and the ‘Sunderland Lounge’ at Hudson Bay Road. As such, no further community service provision is required and there is no requirement to retain the residential property at 131 Clark Road.

29.     This report provides the local board with an opportunity to formalise its views regarding the property.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

30.     Twelve mana whenua iwi authorities were contacted regarding the potential sale of part of 131 Clark Road, Hobsonville. The following feedback was received:

Financial implications

31.     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.

32.     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.

33.     The subject part of approximately 5,500m2 of 131 Clark Road is not required by council for a current or future public work that is funded or can realistically be funded in the future. To retain a non-service property for an undefined purpose is contrary to Auckland 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 a non-service property and to allocate the operational budget required to hold the property.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

34.     The subject parcels comprising approximately 5,500m2 of 131 Clark Road is intended for disposal as a proposed neighbourhood centre and for housing and urban renewal purposes, in accordance with the Scott Point Precinct Plan 3.

35.     The entire property at 131 Clark Road is likely to have constraints relating to historical intensive horticultural land use. A change of land use for the subject approximately 5,500m2 area may trigger the National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

36.     Following receipt of the Upper Harbour Local Board’s resolution, the subject parcels of 131 Clark Road will be presented to the Finance and Performance Committee.

37.     A plan change seeking to change the Auckland Unitary Plan zoning of part of the approximately 5,500m2 area intended for disposal from Open Space - Conservation to Residential-Mixed Housing Urban will be undertaken following an approval to divest.

Analysis and advice

Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) update

5.       The LBTCF is a capital budget provided to all local boards by Auckland Council and delivered by AT. Local boards can use this fund to deliver transport infrastructure projects that they believe are important but are not part of AT’s work programme. Projects must also:

·        be safe

·        not impede network efficiency

·        be in the road corridor, although projects running through parks can be considered if there is a transport outcome.

6.       The Upper Harbour Local Board’s LBTCF allocation was $1,835,080 for the current political term. In addition, there is a sum of $764,795 which was approved by the council and became available from 1 July 2018.

LBTCF projects for consideration

7.       Following a series of workshops, the Upper Harbour Local Board submitted five project applications to AT for assessment. AT have scoped and costed all five applications and workshopped these with the local board to seek feedback on which project to allocate the remaining LBTCF budget to.

8.       The projects developed to rough order of costs (ROC) stage are:

·        Albany Highway / Upper Harbour Drive junction

·        634 Kingsway Road, Herald Island

·        Rosedale shared path

·        Schnapper Rock Road pedestrian crossing

·        Kyle Road footpath.

Albany Highway / Upper Harbour Drive junction

9.       This project was intended to address vulnerable road users’ safety through the junction, and also to attempt to address complaints about the slow left turn movement out of Upper Harbour Drive onto Albany Highway.

10.     The junction is complex with two levels and is currently partially signalised. There are no footpaths provided through the junction (other than the left turn from Upper Harbour Drive onto Albany Highway). The junction is on the crest of a ridge with the land falling away sharply at various points which means that, in places, the carriageway is narrow, and no hard shoulders are provided. The slow left turn issue has been partially addressed by the installation of flexi-posts across the end of the right turn lane (Albany Highway turn to Upper Harbour Drive). This has reduced the numbers of vehicles that travel straight through the junction in the morning peak and has meant that there is more space for right turning vehicles from Upper Harbour Drive to exit the junction. This has in turn, led to a reduced queue in Upper Harbour Drive and easier access to the left turn lane.

11.     To fully solve all or most of the issues raised will require full reconstruction of the intersection. This has been estimated to cost in the order of $3-$4 million.

12.     Should the local board not wish to fund a full reconstruction, there are possibly some works that could be implemented which will improve some of the issues raised. This would be an interim solution and not a full upgrade but may provide some congestion relief for Upper Harbour Drive and enhanced safety for cyclists. It is estimated that these may cost in the order of $1-$1.2 million.  Should the board wish to pursue and fund this option, a sum of $60,000 would need to be allocated to allow an initial scheme design and costing for the works to see what benefits could be achieved and cost analysis for various options. This allocation would allow some consultation on the issues.

13.     Albany Highway corridor improvements (from Sunset Road to SH18) is listed in the Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) with an indicative cost of $34.8 million which would widen the road to two lanes in each direction and provide on-road cycle lanes. This project is currently shown as unfunded.

634 Kingsway Road, Herald Island

14.     This project was developed following the issue of pedestrian safety being raised by the local resident’s association. Most of Kingsway Road has a sealed shoulder outside the white edge line where pedestrians currently walk. At each end, there are sections where this could be improved with short sections of footpath (or additional sealed shoulder works at the Kauri Road end).

15.     The ROC for these improvements is $34,000. This cost includes $5000 to clear vegetation and install some ‘flexi-posts’ along the edge of the white line around the bend on the road (the area that creates the greatest risk for walkers). Should the board wish to proceed with this project, AT would need to consult with residents on preferred treatments as in the past, there has been resistance to concrete kerb and channel on the island.

Rosedale area shared paths

16.     This project was suggested in response to other initiatives that will impact on traffic flows and congestion in the Rosedale area. These projects are:

·        Construction of the new Rosedale Road busway station which will provide easier public transport access for the Rosedale area of the Albany basin. This will both create ‘inwards’ demand from those using the new busway station to access work and recreational facilities and ‘outwards’ demand from those who are either local residents trying to access the Rosedale station or individuals from further afield trying to park and then access the busway station.

·        Construction of the new hockey facility in Rosedale Road will generate transport demands from those using or spectating at the facility.

·        The Northern Corridor Improvement (NCI) project will also improve walking and cycling facilities associated with the roading and busway improvements. Together with the pre-existing walking and cycling route into Rosedale from Unsworth Heights and the upgraded Alexander Stream underpass, this will provide increased opportunity for shorter journeys to be undertaken by active transport and potentially reduce demand on the roading network from private vehicles.

17.     Due to the wide area covered by this request, it has been broken down into a number of sub-projects by AT. These are:

·        Albany Highway links to the north and south of the new NCI path.

·        Currently there are a combination of mainly off-road cycleways, plus some short on‑road sections for the full length of Albany Highway, between Albany Expressway and Bush Road.

·        Between Bush Road and 143 Albany Highway (about 180m south of the motorway) there are existing unbuffered on-road cycle lanes.

·        The new cycleway down the northern side of the NCI project includes plans to construct a new off-road cycleway between Bush Road and the motorway on the eastern side of Albany Highway.

·        There are no plans to upgrade the western side on-road path or the paths to the south of the motorway.

·        AT Walking and Cycling staff also advise that they are beginning investigations on potential connections to the proposed NCI shared path. However, this work is at an early stage.

Bush Road / Fernhill Escarpment greenway path to new hockey facility

18.     There is an existing shared path on the eastern side of Bush Road from Albany Expressway to Rosedale Road, past Pinehurst School. It is assumed that this existing shared path will stay.

19.     A suggested future section will be to extend that current shared path from Rosedale Road to the new hockey facility on Bush Road. The recommended form would be an off-road 3m wide shared path along the existing road berm.

20.     The ROC for this is $475,000.

Rosedale Road / Bush Road to Rosedale bus station

21.     There are currently unbuffered cycle lanes on Rosedale Road over its length with off-road paths at the two roundabouts. Suggested improvements would be to widen the lanes and add a buffer which would be achieved by reducing the width of the existing central median. Further improvements at the roundabouts would also be required to improve safety.

22.     The scheme would connect with the improvements planned by the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) outside the new Rosedale bus station.

23.     The ROC for this work is $1.85 million.

Rosedale Park

24.     This proposal involves work within Rosedale Park. Such projects can be funded from the LBTCF provided they fulfil a transport objective (rather than a purely recreational need) and meet the relevant criteria. Due to the Greenways Plan currently being refreshed by Parks, Sports and Recreation staff, this sub-project has not been explored further as this refresh will further consider this proposal.

Schnapper Rock Road pedestrian crossing

25.     Traffic engineering staff from AT have investigated the site, including taking pedestrian counts during a funeral. The traffic investigations and counts showed that the pedestrian volumes relative to traffic volumes do not justify a pedestrian crossing in any of the locations identified by the local board. There are already refuges at the existing roundabout and events at the funeral home do not justify a facility that may otherwise not be used.

26.     AT Metro has also been consulted as they plan to establish bus stops in the vicinity of the funeral services home. Based on the low volume of passengers, staff did not consider installation of raised platforms near the bus stops (east of the roundabout) was justified.

27.     The current project to extend the Memorial Park to the south-west will also change the traffic pattern created by those attending funerals and internments, which may further reduce potential usage.

28.     Should the local board wish to fund a pedestrian crossing in this area, a raised table would be recommended. Otherwise, with the low pedestrian volumes, there is a risk that drivers will not stop at any zebra crossing installed. It has been agreed with Road Safety, Traffic Engineering and AT Metro that these should be 1-in-10 ramps, with a 100mm raised table.

29.     The ROC to install a raised table pedestrian crossing, including lighting, drainage, TCC report and all ancillary consultation and works is $150,000.

Kyle Road footpath

30.     This project was previously investigated by AT on behalf of the board. Since the last investigation, a new subdivision has been approved in Kyle Road. This new subdivision will include installation of some kerbing, swales, lighting and footpaths in the first 520m of Kyle Road, incorporating the existing path near Albertine Place.

31.     This will leave a gap in the footpath and kerbing on Kyle Road of 120m. The ROC to complete the remaining missing section is $416,000. This includes kerbing, footpath, retaining walls, drainage and lighting. Most of the cost for this short section is due to the challenging topography which necessitates construction of a retaining wall. The ROC also includes 30 per cent contingency which is standard at the pre-design stage. It is expected that this subdivision is likely to proceed over the next 12 months.

32.     This subdivision will also include the installation of kerbing and a new footpath along its frontage on Schnapper Rock Road. This will leave a missing link of kerbing and footpath outside 53 Schnapper Rock Road that is unlikely to be developed in the immediate future as it is a Watercare site. It would be prudent that the local board also consider completing this link if they are to complete other work in Kyle Road.

33.     The ROC to complete this section with kerbing and footpath is $132,000.

Discussion

34.     All projects have value in their own right and all align with the current local board plan. However, the local board does not have unlimited funds and it may not wish to commit the incoming board to expenditure using the next allocation of LBTCF funding which will become available after the election.

35.     The local board can also expect to be allocated funding through the new AT Community Safety Fund. AT has scheduled a workshop in May 2019 to present and assist the local board to allocate projects to this fund.

36.     Assuming that the Rame Road project detailed design confirms that the current budget allocation is adequate, the remaining LBTCF allocation is $661,653. Based on AT advice, it is recommended that the board discount all projects that will require more funding than is available, along with the Schnapper Rock Road pedestrian crossing. This leaves the following projects and sub-projects for consideration:

·        634 Kingsway Road, Herald Island - $34,000

·        Rosedale shared path:

o   Bush Road / Fernhill Escarpment greenway path to the new hockey facility - $475,000

·        Kyle Road footpath:

o   Kyle Road section - $412,000

o   Schnapper Rock Road section - $132,000.

37.     A number of factors are suggested by AT to help prioritise possible projects, the most relevant of which are:

·        Does the project align with one of the local board plan strategic outcomes?

·        Does the project benefit the overall transport network by creating new links and/or facilities?

·        How many people will it benefit?

·        Are the people who will benefit the very young, seniors or mobility impaired, members of the community?

·        Considering costs versus benefits gained, does this project represent good value for the local board?

·        How much is this project adding value by augmenting a project AT is currently doing or about to do?

38.     A further factor the board may wish to consider is the geographic spread of the LBTCF investment. To date, this has focused on the Greenhithe ($2.59 million) and Albany Heights areas ($2.778 million) with very limited investment in the remainder of the local board area ($136,000).

39.     These projects and sub-projects have been assessed using the framework as set out below:

Factor

634 Kingsway Road - $34,000

Bush Road / Fernhill Escarpment greenway path to new hockey facility - $475,000

40.     Based on this assessment, the following projects are recommended to be progressed to the next stage:

·        634 Kingsway Road, Herald Island - $34,000

·        Rosedale shared path:

o   Bush Road / Fernhill Escarpment greenway path to new hockey facility - $475,000

·        Kyle Road footpath:

o   Schnapper Rock Road section - $132,000.

41.     These projects would require committing $641,000 of the board’s remaining LBTCF of $661,653.

Rame Road project update

42.     The Rame Road project is at the detailed design stage, as per option 2, and is currently proposed to go through consultation. Design may be completed by the end April 2019.

Major capital works in the Upper Harbour Local Board area

Gills Road link

43.     AT is planning to procure a single ‘design and construct’ contract for the detailed design and construction of the proposed new Gills Road link. This procurement is subject to AT Board approval which is anticipated to happen in April or May of 2019. No further update was available at the time of writing this report.

Dairy Flat Highway/ The Avenue

44.     The project is presently in the investigation phase. AT’s next steps are to undertake public consultation, detailed design, NZTA funding and to secure resource consents. Construction is programmed to start in 2020/2021, subject to designation and funding approval. This procurement is subject to AT Board approval which is anticipated to happen in April or May of 2019. No further update was available at the time of writing this report.

Medallion Drive link

45.     Estimated design completion and consent approval by early April 2019. Land negotiation and purchase is extended due to court proceedings, with a hearing expected in July of this year and expected to be complete by January 2020. Construction will start in February 2020 and will take approximately 18 months. No further update was available at the time of writing this report.

Pedestrian signal on Oteha Valley Road

46.     AT is working on the design and is expecting to have this ready for external consultation towards the end of April 2019. AT will consult with the local board at a future workshop, yet to be confirmed.

Dairy Flat Highway safety improvements 2018/2019

47.     AT is currently in detailed design for a number of safety improvements, which include:

·        new road markings at Pine Valley and Wilks Road

·        new right turn bays at Bawden Road and into Potters Road.

48.     The timing for construction of the individual upgrades is yet to be decided although it is anticipated it could take place later in the year, around October/November 2019. This also includes construction of the Coatesville-Riverhead/Dairy Flat Highway roundabout.

49.     AT will provide monthly updates to the local board on the project.

 

 

Albany park and ride

50.     Construction is still in progress and AT anticipates this to be concluded by the end of May 2019.

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

Local impacts and local board views

Issues investigated and responses

51.     The local board have requested the following issues be investigated, which are still under investigation:

·        health hazard – 102 and 102A Totara Avenue, Whenuapai

·        Hooton Reserve parking controls.

Spencer and East Coast Road safety concerns

52.     AT has undertaken an initial review of the issue. Further detailed investigation now needs to be undertaken to ensure a comprehensive review is completed. This investigation has been prioritised and programmed for review and the local board can expect to receive an update from AT by late June 2019.

Intersection of Roland Road and Greenhithe Road safety concerns

53.     AT has investigated this issue and will be relocating the chevron sign to the appropriate location. This is planned for completion by the end of April 2019. 

Intersection Kauri Road and Brigham Creek Road subsidence

54.     Work to repair the road has started and will be completed in approximately six weeks.

Bush Road parking removal and afternoon/evening clearway

55.     AT have undertaken queue length observations and conducted a parking occupancy survey. The survey results were supportive of a clearway, though AT have received some negative feedback from Bike Auckland and similar claiming broken yellow lines and/or installation of a clearway may degrade safety for cyclists. AT is currently having renewed discussions with internal teams to decide how to progress and will update the local board once this is completed.

Intersection of Brighams Creek and Williams Roads safety concerns

56.     AT have conducted an initial review of the concerns raised and further detailed investigation now needs to be undertaken. No further update was available at the time of writing this report.

Consultation documents on proposed improvements

57.     Consultation documents for the following proposals have been provided to the Upper Harbour Local Board for feedback and are summarised below for information purposes only. Following consultation, AT considers the feedback received and determines whether to proceed further with the proposal as consulted on or amend the proposal if changes are considered necessary:

·        install signs prohibiting parking off the roadway and grass verges along Elliott Rose Avenue, Albany

·        resolution of traffic and parking control changes on a new subdivision road located at 13 Scott Road, Hobsonville.

Thousands have their say on speed bylaw

58.     Public consultation has closed on a bylaw which has the potential to save dozens of lives. AT received 11,007 submissions on its proposal to reduce speeds on some 700km of high-risk roads around the region, 90 per cent of which are in rural areas.

59.     Auckland is facing a road safety crisis with a 78 per cent increase in deaths and a 68 per cent rise in serious injuries since 2014. On one day alone in early April, nine people died in three crashes on New Zealand roads.

60.     Lowering speeds and working with NZ Police to enforce these limits is a proven tool internationally to be one of the easiest and most effective interventions available.

61.     A number of submissions have come from organisations representing large sections of the community, such as district health boards, universities and school boards of trustees, the Automobile Association, victim support and local boards.

62.     AT also received many submissions from people wanting their local street or neighbourhood to have speeds lowered. While those areas were not the focus for this proposal, AT will certainly consider these in the future.

63.     Submissions are currently being analysed and those who have requested will present to a Hearings Panel of AT Board members and senior executives later in April 2019. If adopted, the speed limit changes will come into effect in August of this year.

Road name approval: New road at 61-117 Clark Road, Hobsonville

File No.: CP2019/05122

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek approval to name a new private road, being a commonly owned access lot (COAL) created by way of a subdivision development at 61-117 Clark Road, Hobsonville (Hobsonville Point superlot reference BB14).

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.       On behalf of the applicant, Jalcon Homes, Homes Land and Community Ltd (HLC) has proposed the following names for consideration by the local board:

·        Genevieve Lane (preferred)

·        Division Lane (alternate 1)

·        Veteran Lane (alternate 2).

4.       The proposed road name ‘Genevieve Lane’ relates to a living person, a World War II New Zealand Special Air Service (NZSAS) Regiment veteran who is now a Member of the British Empire (MBE), along with many other accolades.

5.       As the Auckland Council Road Naming Policy and Guidelines state that the names of living people are actively discouraged, the applicant contacted the Upper Harbour Local Board directly to check the name would be acceptable to include in the application. The Upper Harbour Local Board chairperson, deputy chairperson and one local board member responded in support for the name to be included in the applicant’s submission.

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

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a)      approve the name for the new private road created by way of a subdivision at 61-117 Clark Road, Hobsonville (superlot BB14).

 

 

Horopaki

Context

7.       Resource consent reference BUN60336498 (including subdivision reference SUB60336499) was lodged to Auckland Council on 29 March 2019 for the construction of 37 dwellings and one private road, being a commonly owned access lot (COAL).

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

9.       Site and location plans of the development can be viewed in Attachments A and B respectively.

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 local board approval.

11.     Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically require that road names reflect one of the following local themes, with the use of Māori 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 theme relates to the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF), and recognises the former use of the area as an airforce base. This is a theme already established throughout the wider Hobsonville Point housing development area.

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

Proposed names and preferences

Meaning (as described by applicant)

Genevieve Lane (preferred)

Phyllis Latour, codename ‘Genevieve’, known now as Pippa Doyle, is a 97-year old currently living in West Auckland. Pippa was one of 40 Special Operation Executives (SOEs) in World War II. The SOE is recognised as the antecedent special forces unit. She has been adopted by the NZSAS Regiment as a veteran SOE member.

The daughter of a French doctor and English mother, Ms Doyle joined the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) in London aged 20 in 1941. She trained as a flight mechanic on airframes. However, with her fluency in French and her tenacity, she was an ideal candidate to place behind enemy lines.

At the age of 23, Ms Doyle did just that, sending coded messages to Britain. In the space of a few months, she sent 135 messages to London which were used to deed into the allied command machine to guide bombing missions to enemy targets

She has been made an MBE by the British Government and decorated with a Croix de Guerre (Cross of War) by France. She has also received a medal that makes her a Knight of the Legion of Honour, the highest honour in France.

Ms. Doyle has given permission for her codename ‘Genevieve’ to be considered for the laneway name.

Division Lane

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

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

16.     ‘Lane’ is an acceptable road type for the new private road, suiting the form and layout of the road, as per the Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines.

17.     All relevant local iwi were emailed and invited to comment; however, no responses were received.

18.     The applicant also contacted the Hobsonville Point Residents Society for comment on the proposed road names. They responded in support of the applicants preferred name ‘Genevieve Lane’, given the desire to have more women represented in place and street names.

19.     Permission from relatives has been obtained for the use of the name ‘Genevieve’.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

20.     The decision sought for this report has no identified impacts on other parts of the council group. The views of council-controlled organisations were not required in the preparation of this report.

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

Local impacts and local board views

21.     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

22.     The decision sought from the Upper Harbour Local Board on this report is linked to the Auckland Plan outcome, ‘a Māori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world’. The use of Māori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Māori identity.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

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

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

24.     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

25.     Approved road names are notified to LINZ and recorded on the New Zealand-wide land information database which includes street addresses issued by councils.

Horopaki

Context

6.       The local board allocates grants to groups and organisations delivering projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders and contribute to the vision of being a world class city.

7.       The Auckland Council Community Grants Policy supports each local board to adopt a grants programme.

8.       The local board grants programme sets out:

·        local board priorities

·        lower priorities for funding

·        exclusions

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

·        any additional accountability requirements.

9.       The Upper Harbour Local Board adopted their grants programme for 2018/2019 on 20 April 2018 and will operate three quick response and two local grants rounds for this financial year. 

10.     The community grant programmes have been extensively advertised through the council grants webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters, Facebook pages, council publications, radio, and community networks.

11.     The Upper Harbour Local Board has set a total community grants budget of $113,425 for the 2018/2019 financial year. A total of $67,518.50 has been allocated in one local grant and one quick response round, leaving a total of $45,906.50 to be allocated to one local grant round and two quick response rounds.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

12.     The aim of the local board grant programme is to deliver projects and activities which align with the outcomes identified in the local board plan. All applications have been assessed utilising the Community Grants Policy and the local board grant programme criteria. The eligibility of each application is identified in the report recommendations.

13.     One past applicant, Rosedale Park Sports Charitable Trust, is requesting changes to the condition of the approved grant. The trust was allocated funds towards drainage work at the Rosedale Park Sports Club (application number LG1917-111, resolution number UH/2018/129). They have unspent funds of $3470 and are requesting these funds be allocated to the development of the club’s fire safety report (refer to Attachments C to G).

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

14.     According to the main focus of the application, each one has received input from a subject matter expert from the relevant department. The main focuses are identified as arts, community, events, sport and recreation, environment or heritage.

15.     The grants programme has no identified impacts on council-controlled organisations and therefore their views are not required.

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

Local impacts and local board views

16.     Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community grants. The Upper Harbour Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or decline these grant applications against the local board priorities identified in the local board grant programme.

17.     The board is requested to note that section 48 of the Community Grants Policy states; ‘we will also provide feedback to unsuccessful grant applicants about why they have been declined, so they will know what they can do to increase their chances of success next time’.

18.     A summary of each application received through round two of the Upper Harbour Quick Response Grant 2018/2019 is provided (refer Attachment B).

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

19.     The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to improving Māori wellbeing by providing grants to individuals and groups who deliver positive outcomes for Māori. Auckland Council’s Māori Responsiveness Unit has provided input and support towards the development of the community grant processes.

20.     One applicant in this round, the Parenting Place Charitable Trust organisation, has indicated their project targets Māori or Māori outcomes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Department of Conservation proposal to revoke Reserves Act 1977 delegations

File No.: CP2019/05136

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       This report provides the local board with an opportunity to formally resolve its feedback to the proposal by the Department of Conservation to revoke powers delegated to territorial authorities by the Minister of Conservation under the Reserves Act 1977.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Department of Conservation has written to all territorial authorities (refer Attachment A) advising that due to a recent Court of Appeal decision (Opua Coastal Preservation Inc v Far North District Council) that the current Minister of Conservation, Hon Eugenie Sage, is considering revoking powers delegated to territorial authorities by the former Minister, Hon Dr Nick Smith in 2013 (refer Attachment B). 

3.       The reason provided for the majority of the proposed revocation is that under the current delegation, council makes its decision as the territorial authority and then reviews that decision under ministerial delegation. This is viewed as potentially putting council in a conflict of interest situation, as it is effectively reviewing its own decision(s).

4.       This proposal has been reviewed by staff and a short assessment presentation has been prepared (refer Attachment C). A briefing was provided for local board members on Monday 8 April 2019 on the proposal. A draft submission will be prepared for feedback and circulated based on feedback and input from council departments and local boards. This draft will be circulated to members of the Environment and Community Committee and local board members for review and comment on 15 April 2019. This draft submission was not available at time of agenda production and will be tabled at the board meeting. The preparation of the draft will be followed by two drop-in sessions for elected members to provide in-person feedback.

5.       A final draft submission will be prepared for the Chairperson of the Environment and Community Committee approval prior to the due date of 26 April 2019. This draft response will need to be retrospectively adopted by the Environment and Community Committee on 14 May 2019.

6.       The local board could resolve its feedback at its meeting on 18 April 2019; however, it may be preferable to delegate this task to a smaller sub-set of local board members, circulate the draft submission to all local board members for comment, and then retrospectively adopt the submission at the local board’s May 2019 meeting.

7.       Whichever approach the local board chooses to take, its feedback must be prepared by close of business on 18 April 2019. This will allow the feedback to inform Auckland Council’s submission and to be attached to the Auckland Council submission, which will be lodged on behalf of the Environment and Community Committee.


 

 

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a)      consider providing feedback on the Department of Conservation proposal to revoke current ministerial delegations to Auckland Council under the Reserves Act 1977, noting that feedback is required by the close of business on 18 April 2019.

Local board decisions and input into the Annual Budget 2019/2020 and the proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028

File No.: CP2019/04636

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To approve local financial matters for the local board agreement 2019/2020, which need to be considered by the Governing Body in the Annual Budget 2019/2020 process.

2.       To seek feedback on regional topics in the Annual Budget 2019/2020 and the proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3.       Auckland Council’s Annual Budget contains 21 local board agreements which are the responsibility of local boards. These agreements set out local funding priorities, budgets, levels of service and performance measures. This report seeks decisions on local financial matters for the local board agreement, including:

·        any new/amended business improvement district (BID) targeted rates

·        any new/amended local targeted rate proposals 

·        proposed locally driven initiative (LDI) capital projects outside local boards’ decision-making responsibility

·        release of local board specific reserve funds

·        any advocacy initiatives (to be included in the appendix).

4.       Auckland Council consulted with the public from 17 February to 17 March 2019 to seek community views on the Annual Budget 2019/2020 and the proposed amendment to the 10‑year Budget 2018-2028, and local board priorities to be included in the local board agreements. This report seeks local board views on both of these plans:

·        regional annual budget topics: including changes to rates and fees, the draft Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority – Operational Plan 2019/2020, and other budget information

·        the proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 regarding property transfers.

5.       Auckland Council also consulted on the Our Water Future discussion document. A draft strategy from the Our Water Future discussion document will be developed. Local boards will have the opportunity to provide input into this in early 2020.

6.       Local board views on these regional plans will be considered by the Governing Body (or relevant committee) before making final decisions on the plans.


 

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a)      receive consultation feedback on the Upper Harbour Local Board priorities for 2019/2020.

b)      recommend any new or amended business improvement district targeted rates to the Governing Body.

c)      recommend any new or amended local targeted rate proposals to the Governing Body.

d)      recommend that the Governing Body approves any proposed locally driven initiative capital projects, which are outside local boards’ decision-making responsibility. 

e)      recommend the release of local board specific reserve funds to the Governing Body.

f)       approve its advocacy initiatives for inclusion (as an appendix) to its 2019/2020 Local Board Agreement.

g)      receive consultation feedback on regional proposals in the Annual Budget 2019/2020 and on the proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 regarding property transfers from people or organisations based in the Upper Harbour Local Board area.

h)      provide feedback on the Annual Budget 2019/2020.

i)        provide feedback on the proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028.

 

 

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 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. Feedback was received through written, event and social media channels.

12.     Consultation feedback on the Upper Harbour 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 Upper Harbour 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.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Local financial matters for the local board agreement

13.     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 (BID) targeted rate proposals

14.     Local boards are required to endorse any new locally targeted rate proposals or 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 (LDI)

15.     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’ or LDI. Local boards can approve LDI capital projects up to $1 million; projects over that amount need approval from the Governing Body. 

16.     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.

17.     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

18.     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.

19.     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

20.     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

21.     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.

22.     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.

23.     The feedback form contained one question relating to changes to rates and fees. Consultation feedback received from the Upper Harbour 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.

24.     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

25.     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.

26.     The feedback form contained one question relating to this proposed amendment. Consultation feedback received from the Upper Harbour Local Board area on the proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 regarding property transfers is summarised in Attachment A.

27.     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

28.     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.

29.     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. 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

30.     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.

31.     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

32.     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.

33.     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.

34.     Attachment A includes analysis of submissions made by mana whenua and mataawaka entities who have interests in the rohe/local board area.

35.     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

36.     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.

37.     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

38.     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

Next steps

39.     Local boards will approve their local board agreements and corresponding work programmes in June.

40.     Recommendations and feedback from local boards will be provided to the relevant Governing Body committees for consideration during decision-making, as outlined in the table below:
