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

Local impacts and local board views

16. In general, feedback received from local boards did not support the Department’s proposal to revoke certain Ministerial delegations under the Act and was in support of the draft submission (refer Attachment C and D).

17. A high-level summary of the feedback is that:

· no substantive justification for the proposal has been provided

· it is unclear what problem the Department is trying to fix

· the impact of the proposal would:

undermine decision-making at a local level

potentially incur significant time delays and cost

have a possible detrimental impact on local communities

· a full legislative review of the Act is required

· no decision should be made by the Minister until the Supreme Court has made a decision in the Opua case.

18. Some local boards did not express an objection to the Department’s proposal. Other matters raised were directed at council’s delegation of its own decision-making, rather than at the exercise of the Ministerial powers under delegation.

19. Local board feedback has been incorporated into the attached submission, in particular the addition of cost impacts and the requirement of a full legislative review.

20. The submission has been amended to reflect key points received through elected member feedback. Local board resolutions will be included with the submission.

Proposed Margan Reserve land exchange

File No.: CP2019/03933

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To make a final decision on the proposed land exchange at Margan Avenue, New Lynn, under the Reserves Act 1977.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. To enable a decision about whether to proceed with a proposed exchange of part of Margan Reserve, the Regulatory Committee appointed an independent commissioner to hear submitters and to make a recommendation to council.

3. A total of 83 submissions were received. Of these, six supported the proposed land exchange while 77 were opposed to it.

4. The main objections to the proposed land exchange were in relation to the loss of trees, in particular pohutukawa trees.

5. Staff recommend that the Environment and Community Committee accept the commissioner’s recommendations and decline the proposed land exchange. This is based on the commissioner’s advice that the amenity and green space function of Margan Reserve may be compromised by the land exchange.

6. There is a low risk of a judicial review of council declining the proposed land exchange. This has been mitigated by following the statutory requirements of the Reserves Act 1977.

7. The decision of the Environment and Community Committee on the proposed land exchange will be communicated to the applicant, submitters and the Whau Local Board.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Environment and Community Committee:

a) note the independent commissioner’s recommendation was to decline the proposed land exchange at Margan Avenue, New Lynn as presented in Attachment A of the agenda report

b) decline the proposed land exchange under section 15(2) of the Reserves Act 1977 of 295m² of Margan Reserve, New Lynn (Pt Lot 1 DP 122011) for 295m² of adjacent land at 5 Clinker Place (Pt Lot 2 DP 122011).

Horopaki

Context

Council sought public submissions on the proposed land exchange

8. In August 2018, the Environment and Community Committee approved the notification of a proposed exchange of 295m² of Margan Reserve with private land under section 15(2) of the Reserves Act 1977 [ENV/2018/102 refers].

9. Figure 1 below illustrates the two land parcels that were proposed to be exchanged.

Figure 1: The proposed area of Margan Reserve to be exchanged

10. The land exchange was expected to have positive benefits to the community including:

· enabling a fragmented piece of Margan Reserve to be incorporated into a larger strip along Margan Avenue

· providing a road, pedestrian and cycle connection from Margan Avenue to New Lynn centre and the train station.

11. The proposed land exchange was publicly notified, and the consultation period closed on 16 November 2018.

77 submitters opposed the land exchange and nine submitters requested to present at a hearing

12. A total of 83 submissions were received. Of these, six supported the proposed land exchange while 77 were opposed to it.

13. The main objections to the proposed land exchange were in relation to the loss of trees, in particular pohutukawa trees.

14. Nine of the submitters requested to present evidence in support of their submission at a hearing. Section 120 of the Reserves Act 1977 outlines the right of an objector to request, in writing, to present in support of their submission at a hearing.

An independent commissioner was appointed to hear submissions

15. In February 2019, the Regulatory Committee appointed an independent commissioner to hear submissions and to make a recommendation to the Environment and Community Committee [REG/2019/5 refers].

16. The hearing commenced on 8 March 2019 and five submitters presented evidence in support of their submissions.

17. Following the hearing, the independent commissioner outlined his recommendations in a report (Attachment A refers).

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

18. The Environment and Community Committee can choose to accept the independent commissioner’s recommendation to decline the proposed land exchange. It can also decide to proceed with the proposed land exchange.

Decline the proposed land exchange

19. The commissioner’s view is that the amenity and green space function of Margan Reserve may be compromised by the land exchange.

20. The commissioner noted that Margan Reserve continues to fulfil its original purpose, which is to provide an amenity and green space function. The mature trees and understory, treasured by a number of submitters, have amenity values.

21. Compromising the values of the reserve and removing trees to provide a road, pedestrian and cycleway was not considered sufficient grounds by the commissioner to recommend the proposed land exchange.

22. The option to decline the proposed land exchange follows the recommendation of the commissioner.

23. On balance, staff recommend the Environment and Community Committee accept the recommendations of the independent commissioner and decline the proposed land exchange as it will:

· retain the purpose and amenity value of Margan Reserve

· align with those members of the local community who opposed the land exchange.

Proceed with the proposed land exchange

24. Proceeding with the proposed land exchange is an option as there are positive benefits for the community. The open space configuration that would result from the proposed land exchange was deemed to be a high priority when assessed against council policy. The proposed land exchange would:

· meet community needs by facilitating improved physical access between Margan Avenue to New Lynn and the transport hub

· improve the connectivity of the network of open space walkways throughout the area

· connect a small, fragmented piece of the reserve to a wider and continuous strip.

25. It is noted that the commissioner’s report did not mention the benefits of the proposed land exchange against council policy.

26. Proceeding with the proposed land exchange would deliver community open space benefits as well as contributing to the development of the adjacent site. The trade-off would be the loss of some amenity through a reduced number of trees on the site. The commissioner has outlined the amenity loss in their recommendations.

27. There is a medium risk that not accepting the recommendations of the independent commissioner would result in a judicial review.

Margan Reserve classification

28. The commissioner recommended that Margan Reserve be formally classified under the Reserves Act 1977, as it is an unclassified reserve. This would enable any future land exchange to also be considered with any Resource Management Act 1991 processes and decisions.

29. There are many unclassified reserves across Tāmaki Makaurau. Undertaking formal classification of Margan Reserve would fulfil requirements under the Reserves Act 1977 and would complete the vesting process.

30. Local boards have been allocated decision-making for the classification of reserves.

31. The Whau Local Board may wish to consider formally classifying Margan Reserve under the Reserves Act 1977. A copy of this report and the independent commissioner’s recommendations will be sent to the Whau Local Board for their consideration of this matter.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

32. There are no council group impacts from declining the land exchange.

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

Local impacts and local board views

33. The Whau Local Board supported the public notification of the proposed land exchange.

34. Community views were sought and considered through the public notification and hearing process. 77 individuals in the community opposed the proposed land exchange and six were in support.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

35. Consultation with mana whenua was undertaken as part of the Reserves Act 1977 process.

36. Iwi consulted were Te Kawerau ā Maki, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua, Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara, Ngāti Whātua o Ōrākei, Te Akitai Waiohua and Ngāti Tamaterā.

37. No objections to the proposal were received and mana whenua did not request to present at the hearing.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

38. There are no financial implications for council. The applicant has previously agreed to cover all costs associated with the land exchange.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

39. There is a low risk of a judicial review of council declining the proposed land exchange. This has been mitigated by following the statutory requirements of the Reserves Act 1977.

40. There is a low reputational risk that the public will perceive Margan Reserve as being exempt from a future land exchange.

41. Declining the proposed land exchange will cease the application in its current form. The applicant could submit a revised proposal at a later date.

42. The applicant could also submit a private plan change or road application under the Resource Management Act 1991. Such an application would need to demonstrate a net benefit for recreation opportunities for the community that uses, benefits from, or enjoys the reserve.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

43. The decision of the Environment and Community Committee on the proposed land exchange will be communicated to the applicant, submitters and the Whau Local Board.

44. The Development Programme Office will suggest that the applicant consider the following matters if it seeks to submit a revised proposal:

· the size of the proposed road

· the amenity value of the existing vegetation in Margan Reserve and mitigation to offset the loss of any mature trees and understory

· the value of existing vegetation on the applicant’s land.

Horopaki

Context

8. Auckland has a shortage of sports facilities to meet the current population as well as accommodating growth in future population. The Long-term Plan 2018-2028 allocated $120 million to the Sport and Recreation Facilities Investment Fund over the next ten years.

9. The fund will allow Council to proactively invest in changing sport and recreation preferences and deliver value for money through partnering and support the development of regional and sub regional facilities that address the shortfall in facilities.

10. The Sports Investment Plan – Increasing Aucklanders’ Participation in Sport: Investment Plan 2019-2039 will outline Council’s approach to sport investment over the next 20 years. The draft plan was approved by the Environment and Community Committee in December 2018 and is expected to be finalised mid-2019.

11. The Facility Partnership Policy approved by the Environment and Community Committee in December 2018 sets out how Council will partner with others. Council invests in community facilities owned or operated by others, so Aucklanders can access more of the quality facilities they need, faster and more cost-effectively.

12. The Auckland Sport Sector: Facility Priorities Plan is a sector-based plan to help inform and shape sports code plans and future sport facilities investment in Auckland. The plan provides an important framework to assess project readiness and evidence-based need.

13. The allocation of the Sport and Recreation Facilities Investment Fund will be guided by the Sports Investment Plan and Facility Partnership Policy. The Fund Guidelines will be developed following the final Investment Plan being approved in July 2019. The Guidelines will outline the contestable process and timing for future fund allocations.

14. The Sport and Recreation Facilities Investment Fund has $5 million available for allocation in 2018/2019.

15. A targeted approach to allocate the available funding in 2018/2019 is proposed, to support strategically important existing projects that will maximise community sport outcomes and can be successfully delivered within a short time frame.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

16. The draft Sport Investment Plan targets investment to increase the level of community sport participation in Auckland, in three areas:

i) enabling participation of low participant communities,

ii) increasing participation in emerging sports with high growth potential,

iii) sustaining or increasing participation in high participation sports.

17. The Auckland Sport Sector: Facility Priorities Plan detailed assessment criteria identifies projects that meet: a gap in provision; strategic alignment; complementary to existing network; strategic support; sustainability; return on investment; achievability; community need and participation.

18. Over 50 existing projects were considered, and a number of projects assessed against the approved outcome areas and principles in the draft Sport Investment Plan, as well as assessed through the Auckland Sport Facilities: Sport Priorities Plan detailed assessment criteria.

19. The eight projects identified for Sport and Recreation Facilities Investment funding for 2018/2019 meet the target participation outcome areas and the investment principles in the draft Sports Investment Plan and are sufficiently progressed to enable them to be completed within a short timeframe.

20. Three of the projects already have Council funding allocated and have previously been through a contestable process for funding. Over time the costs of these projects has increased; while good progress has been made and best efforts to secure further funding made, these projects still have a shortfall of funding to commence development.

Recommended Projects

21. Organisation: Waitemata Table Tennis Association

Project: Renewal and redevelopment of existing five-table facility to achieve a 10-table facility with toilet/changing and a small meeting room.

Funding recommended: $540,000

The existing table tennis facility in Sunnyvale, West Auckland is at the end of its useful life. To be fit-for-purpose the facility needs significant renovations. Minor renovations are not an option due to Building Code requirements; the whole facility needs to be brought up to code. An earlier project to redevelop the facility stalled due to the inability to raise funds. The project has been rescoped to a realistic scale and has made progress through the design and consent phase. The facility redevelopment will increase participation by doubling the capacity of the existing facility and enable WTTA to accommodate unmet demand. The small size and poor condition of the facility has constrained growth in table tennis in West Auckland. The inability to host secondary school competition has been a problem.

The proposed facility includes two halls, one of which is identified as suitable for shared use with other community sport organisations.

This project meets an identified community need and aligns with Auckland Council’s strategic priorities and outcomes.

This project will increase the level of community sport participation through: increasing participation in emerging sports with high growth potential.

Total Project Cost	$1,500,000
Council funding committed	$ 330,000

22. Organisation: Three Kings United Football Club

Project: Clubhouse development including changing facilities and public toilets

Funding recommended: $992,000

Three Kings United is based at Keith Hay Park, Mt Roskill. The club and is one of the largest football clubs in New Zealand with membership exceeding 2400 registered players, of which over 1900 are under 18 years old. The present clubroom is over 50 years old and no longer capable of meeting the club’s needs. As far back as 2003 various concept plans have been discussed for the park and club development. The clubhouse development is a further stage in the development of Keith Hay Park. The re-location of the new clubroom is as a result of community consultation and the request of council to enable future expansion of the Cameron Pool. The new site selected has encountered significant additional foundation issues and costs. The project has been rescoped to an achievable scale and good progress has been made in fundraising and consenting. The construction of the clubhouse is ready to commence but with a shortfall in funding, due in part to building cost increases and the additional foundation costs. The new clubroom will be a hub for activities at Keith Hay Park with the facility available to the wider community (including local schools) for meetings and events.

Three Kings United have demonstrated capability and commitment having led and funded the project through to its current stage. They have successfully fundraised from within their membership and secured significant investment from third party funders.


Total Project Cost	$ 5,377,000
Council funding committed	$ 2,100,000 (including $1,300,000 for changing rooms and public toilets)
Other Funders confirmed/pending	$ 2,285,000
Additional Council Funding Recommended	$ 992,000

This project meets an identified community need and aligns with Auckland Council’s strategic priorities and outcomes.

23. Organisation: Waitakere Regional Hockey Turf Trust

Project: Pavilion development including changing rooms and toilets

Funding recommended: $200,000

The Waitakere Regional Hockey Turf Trust are developing a multi-sport facility at Henderson High School, Henderson. Phase 1 of the project, completed in 2011, included the turf development. Phase 2 involves the construction of a pavilion with appropriate amenities for all turf users. The pavilion stage will comprise construction of a small pavilion including two changing rooms and toilets. The proposed pavilion is the product of numerous design reviews to produce a design achievable in scale and cost.

The existing facility does not have toilets or changing rooms, or any pavilion space for spectators or club activities. The facility has relied on access to the school gymnasium for toilet/changing facilities. To complete the original vision and achieve a fit-for-purpose facility, the pavilion and core infrastructure needs to be completed. The proposed pavilion will allow improved use of the turf by enabling senior competition matches to be played (currently not possible due to lack of changing facilities).


Total Project Cost	$ 814,000
Council funding committed	$ 290,000
Other Funders confirmed/pending	$ 324,000
Additional Council Funding Recommended	$ 200,000

This project meets an identified community need and aligns with Auckland Council’s strategic priorities and outcomes.

24. Organisation: Manukau Taniwha BMX Club Inc

Project: Beginner track, storage facility and roof over start gate

Funding recommended: $203,000

The Manukau Taniwha BMX Club has been developing a BMX track at Colin Dale Park, Wiri. The main track construction is now completed, and the club is now focusing on other supporting requirements such as constructing a beginner’s track, storage facilities and a roof over the start gate.

The beginners track will provide opportunities for newcomers and younger children, increasing participation. Currently 85% of members are under 18 years.

The additional infrastructure will ensure the BMX facility is fit for purpose, providing the club with the ability to host local, regional and national competitions. These facilities are required to deliver the sport. The BMX track will be available for community use, when not being used for club training and competition. The proposed development is consistent with the park development plan and can be delivered in components as funding comes available.


Total Project Cost	$ 505,000 (for this next stage)
Council funding committed	$ 0 (for this next stage)
Other Funders confirmed/pending	$ 302,000
Council Funding Recommended	$ 203,000

This project meets an identified community need and aligns with Auckland Council’s strategic priorities and outcomes.

This project will increase the level of community sport participation through: enabling participation of low participant communities.

25. Organisation: Mahu Vision Community Trust

Project: Multi-sport indoor Court facility

Funding recommended: $785,000

The Mahu Vision Community Trust are developing a new Church and Community Centre on private land in the centre of Warkworth. The project includes one multi-sport indoor court, changing rooms, storage for community sport equipment and a large multi-use function area.

There is currently a shortfall in indoor court provision in Warkworth. The only indoor court is located at Mahurangi College, which is used at capacity. Regional Sports Organisations, such as badminton, table tennis, basketball, volleyball and futsal are unable to offer community sport programmes in this area.

The Trust requires the indoor courts from 9am-4pm weekdays and on Sundays. Peak community use of any indoor court space is typically 4-10pm weekdays and Saturday’s, making this a highly complementary partnership in terms of community access.


Total Project Cost	$ 8,000,0000 (build cost) $ 3,000,000 (indoor court facility)
Council funding committed	$ 0
Other Funders confirmed/pending	$ 10,100,000
Council Funding Recommended	$ 785,000

This project meets an identified community need and aligns with Auckland Council’s strategic priorities and outcomes.

This project will increase the level of community sport participation through: sustaining or increasing participation in high-participation sports.

26. Organisation: Counties Manukau Off Road Racing Club

Project: Track Development

Funding recommended: $380,000

The Counties Manukau Off Road Racing Club is developing a track on Colin Dale Park, Wiri. Council has partially completed earth-works, road access, carparking and stormwater treatment in the park. The bulk of council’s development work was completed in May 2015 however the level of bulk earthworks expected was not achieved due to budgetary constraints. Each group was then responsible for completing the development of their individual leased sites.

Detailed design has been completed and consents granted for the track and pit development. The project is ready pending the balance of funding being secured. The resource consent for earthworks required to complete the track development expires in December 2019. The completion of this track will activate another activity and user group. The track development is consistent with the park development plan.


Total Project Cost	$ 897,000
Council funding committed	$ 0 (for the track development)
Other Funders confirmed/pending	$ 517,000
Council Funding Recommended	$ 380,000

This project meets an identified community need and aligns with Auckland Council’s strategic priorities and outcomes.

This project will increase the level of community sport participation through: enabling participation of low participant communities.

27. Project: Papakura Netball Centre / Bruce Pulman Park Trust

Funding Recommended: $900,000

The 20 outdoor asphalt netball courts at Papakura Netball Centre within Pulman Park are over 20 years old and at the end of their useful life. The current courts are slippery and not free-draining. The quality of the surface is impacting on participation levels and the safety of users. Renewal of the courts is required, including the installation of a rubberised surface proposed. Rubberised surfaces provide a safer environment for young participants, minimises impact injuries for youth and adult participants, and broadens the range of activities.

Papakura Netball Centre is one of 11 netball centres in the Auckland region. It is an important local sport facility providing sport opportunities seven days a week for over 1900 participants. The upgrade of the outdoor courts and inclusion of additional sport markings will provide additional capacity for turbo touch, tennis and futsal.


Total Project Cost	$ 2,152,000
Council funding committed	$ 0 (to this project)
Council Funding Recommended	$ 900,000

This project will increase the level of community sport participation through: sustaining or increasing participation in high-participation sports.

28. Project: North Harbour Hockey

Funding Recommended: $1,000,000

The Harbour Hockey Charitable Trust, in partnership with New Zealand Hockey, are developing a new $40M+ National Hockey Centre at Rosedale Park West as a result of the New Zealand Transport Agency project to extend State Highway 16, which dissects the existing hockey site. The new venue will comprise four new hockey turfs, one of which is considered betterment above and beyond NZTA’s obligation to provide a ‘like for like’ facility. The need for an additional turf was identified in hockey’s Auckland regional facility strategy, which shows a current shortfall of 5.7 turfs in the North Harbour region based on existing demand and turf capacity.

The wider National Hockey Centre project includes a two-story pavilion providing changing rooms and social space, over 500 covered spectator seats and 170 additional car park spaces. All fields will be floodlit to enable community use, with the number one field lit to international tv broadcasting standards. In addition, the existing number five turf is being upgraded from a sand to water-based surface, with a new footbridge linking the two sites across Alexandra stream.

The National Hockey Centre is currently under construction, due to be completed by the end of 2019, subject to confirmation of betterment funding. Council’s contribution is to develop the additional turf for community use to meet the shortfall in provision.


Total Project Cost	$ 1,900,000

Allocation of funding to Citizens Advice Bureaux

File No.: CP2019/07135

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek approval for the proposed new model for allocating funding to Citizens Advice Bureaux (CAB) and endorse an increase to the baseline grant to Auckland Citizens Advice Bureaux Incorporated (ACABx) by $200,000 per annum in 2019-2021.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. There are 32 CAB sites in the Auckland region, operated by 11 organisations. Bureaux staff and volunteers offer free information, advice, referral and client advisory services to local communities.

3. In 2018/2019, council granted $1.867 million to Auckland Citizens Advice Bureaux Incorporated (ACABx) conditional on staff and ACABx jointly developing a new funding model. An additional one-off grant of $200,000 was also made through council’s Long-term Plan 2018-2028.

4. The following three funding model options are considered in this report:

· Current funding model – population based

· Council staff model – population, usage and deprivation

· New model from the joint working group – population and deprivation.

5. The new model developed with ACABx is based on 90 per cent population and 10 per cent deprivation to target communities with complex issues and limited access to services to support them. This option also supports the Auckland Plan 2050 ‘Belonging and Participation’ outcome.

6. The majority of local boards provided feedback in support of the new model and additional funding. Upper Harbour and Rodney Local Boards prefer the current funding arrangements.

7. Bureaux have also provided feedback in support of additional funding but do not want deprivation included as a factor in the funding model as they are concerned it conflicts with their service principle of treating all clients equally.

8. Staff recommend the new model from the joint working group and including the additional $200,000 as part of the baseline grant per annum for 2019-2021. If baseline funding is increased by $200,000 per annum, all bureaux will retain a minimum of their current funding levels when the new model is implemented in 2019/2020.

9. The new funding model provides a platform for future service growth and the development of a regional network service provision framework for CAB services to be completed by 30 September 2020. This timeframe will allow council’s level of investment to be considered as part of the 10-year Budget 2021-2031.

Horopaki

Context

10. In 2012, ACABx was established to provide a support structure for funding from council and other bodies, as well as the development of a strategic direction for the CAB service across Auckland.

11. There are 32 Auckland CAB sites in 18 local board areas (Attachment A). There are no sites in Franklin, Great Barrier and Upper Harbour.

12. CAB has experienced significant growth in the use of its online services. There were 230,000 Auckland visits to the CAB website in 2012/ 2013, which rose to over 800,000 visits in 2017/2018.

13. There were a total of 295,000 client interactions at CAB sites in Auckland in 2017/2018, 236,000 of which were personal contact through people coming into a CAB site and 59,000 were phone enquiries.

14. Approximately forty-five per cent of all client interactions were on topics including legal issues, immigration and citizenship, consumer queries and housing. Other activity was mainly provided by outside groups, including Justice of the Peace services, budgeting, legal advice and other specialist clinics.

Auckland Council funding of CABs

15. In 2018/2019, council granted $1.867 million to ACABx, which distributed the funding to bureaux to provide services across Auckland.

16. Through council’s Long-term Plan 2018-2028, an additional one-off grant of $200,000 was approved to maintain and develop the service (GB/2018/91). The ACABx board have distributed $90,300 of this grant to bureaux facing financial pressure (Helensville, Auckland City, Māngere and Manurewa). The remaining $109,700 funds will be used to test new ways of delivering the service and develop a regional network service provision framework.

17. In addition to grant funding, council provides accommodation for bureaux at minimal cost under community lease arrangements, (equivalent to a $641,000 subsidy per annum). Some local boards also provide grants to bureaux for specific purposes.

18. ACABx are on target to meet the four conditions on the 2018/2019 grant as shown in Table 1 (ENV/2018/48).

Table 1: Funding conditions 2018/2019

Funding condition	Progress to date
A joint review between Auckland Council and ACABx of the funding model	ü Joint working group between ACABx and council staff identified and assessed potential model funding factors and developed a new funding model and implementation arrangements

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

20. The following outlines the three funding model options considered.

Option 1: Current funding model (2013 – current)

21. The current funding model was implemented by ACABx with agreement by council as an interim approach to transition from legacy council funding to regional funding.

22. ACABx allocates funding to sub-regional clusters of bureaux based on 2013 Census population data.

Option 2: Council staff model (2018)

23. In April 2016, the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee directed staff to review CAB services (REG/2016/22).

24. A review was undertaken, and council staff developed a revised funding allocation model using 70 per cent population, 25 per cent client usage, and 5 per cent deprivation. This model responded to the review findings and focused on funding to achieve greater equity and fairness.

25. CAB objected to the introduction of client usage as a funding factor because they consider it does not reflect the range of complexity in interactions from simple information requests to lengthy interviews. In 2018, the Environment and Community Committee directed staff to develop a new funding model jointly with ACABx (ENV/2018/48).

Option 3: New model from joint working group (2019)

26. Council staff and ACABx jointly developed a new funding model for bureaux based on:

· 90 per cent population; and,

· 10 per cent deprivation to increase the capacity of bureaux to meet the complex needs of communities with higher levels of relative deprivation. This targeted funding will support the development of new service approaches to increase the access to CAB services within these communities.

27. Table two shows a comparative overview of the three funding model options.

Table 2: Comparative overview of funding models

Description	Current model	Council staff model	New model from joint working group
Date	2013-current	2018	2019
Basis of allocation and data sources	100% population	70% population 25% client usage 5% deprivation	90% population 10% deprivation
Model coverage	Excludes Franklin and Great Barrier Island	Excludes Great Barrier Island	Excludes Great Barrier Island

28. The criteria that were applied to assess the models were developed by the joint working group. Consideration is given to equity, responsiveness to population growth and community need.

29. An overview and assessment of the funding allocation models is provided in Attachment C.

Proposed implementation of new funding model

30. The new funding model (option 3), which was jointly developed with ACABx, is the recommended model for implementation in 2019-2021.

31. The new model starts to address equitable services across Auckland through population-based funding and targeted deprivation. It supports The Auckland Plan 2050 outcome Belonging and Participation:

· Focus area two – Accessible services and social and cultural infrastructure that are responsive in meeting people's evolving needs.

· Focus area six – Focusing the council’s investment to address disparities and serve communities of greatest need.

32. The new funding model provides a platform for future service growth and the development of a regional network service provision framework for CAB services to be completed by 30 September 2020 by ACABx, CABs and council. This timeframe will allow council’s level of investment to be considered as part of the 10-year Budget 2021-2031.

33. ACABx support the new model conditional on the annual grant of $1.867 million (for the 2018/2019 financial year) increasing by $200,000 per annum, and bureaux continuing to receive funding at a minimum of the 2018/2019 level to ensure no bureaux would lose funding when the model is implemented in 2019/2020.

34. If the additional funding is not secured, six bureaux operating 21 sites, will face reduced funding, which would lead to reduction in services and challenge the viability of some sites.

35. To mitigate the redistribution impacts of the new funding model at a bureau level, population-based increases in funding would be capped at 10 per cent for 2019-2021. ACABx has indicated that the funding for deprivation will be used by bureaux for specific initiatives to enhance access to services.

36. The application of the new funding model is shown in Table 3. The information is based on the 2018/2019 funding allocations and excludes provision for premises lease payments to council and ACABx fee (2 per cent).

Council group impacts and views

37. The council teams that collaborated on the new model and are involved in regional network provision planning include:

· Community Facilities and Community Places – administration of the leases for CAB premises and facility operation.

· Libraries and Information – some CABs are co-located with libraries.

· Service, Strategy and Integration – expertise in service design and integrating service offers.

Local impacts and local board views

38. Feedback was sought from local boards on the proposed new funding model and baseline funding (Attachment D).

39. Of the 20 local boards who provided feedback, 17 supported the proposed model, if the additional $200,000 to baseline grant is secured to ensure current funding levels to bureaux are maintained.

40. The Waiheke Local Board did not comment on the new funding model but did support the increase to baseline funding of $200,000.

41. Rodney Local Board does not support the new model due to limited data from CABs on usage and demand and is concerned about applying a population-based funding model to rural communities with small populations serving a large area.

42. There is no bureau in Upper Harbour and the local board does not support deprivation being included in the funding model as the area has a high migrant population, which the local board considers has complex needs which are not reflected in deprivation measures.

43. On the other hand, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, Manurewa and Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Boards provided feedback that 10 per cent weighting for deprivation in the funding model is too low and could be increased to 20 per cent.

44. Some local boards noted concerns about CAB funding models and sustainability, recommending council and ACABx advocate for increased central government funding to respond to increased demand and growth.

45. The new model extends the funding framework to include the Franklin Local Board area, covering all of Auckland apart from Great Barrier. Both Franklin and Papakura Local Boards support this change.

46. Overall, local boards are supportive of the service provided by CABs, endorse targeted funding to address deprivation, regular updates of population data and further work to develop a regional network service provision framework.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

47. CAB services are available to everyone, and there is currently limited targeting of services to groups, including Māori.

48. For 2017/2018, Māori comprised 8 per cent of users contacting Auckland CAB sites.

49. Staff and ACABx have worked together on development of the new model and no specific engagement with Māori was undertaken.

50. Twenty-nine per cent of all Aucklanders live in areas with relatively high deprivation scores, while 50 per cent of Aucklanders who identify as Māori live in areas with relatively high deprivation. The new funding model includes a 10 per cent deprivation component.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

51. It is recommended that the additional $200,000 is retained in the ACABx baseline grant bringing the annual total to $2.067 million in 2019-2021. This excludes any CPI adjustment.

52. The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board has provided funding from 2015-2018 to Māngere CAB to operate a CAB agency in Ōtāhuhu. Reliance on the local board funding would reduce under the new model, as the Māngere CAB would receive increased funding of 12 per cent if the $200,000 is retained in the ACABx baseline grant.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

53. There is a risk that CAB services will be reduced in some communities if funding to bureaux declines as a result of reallocation of funding with the current baseline budget. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended that the additional $200,000 is retained to offset the impact of transitioning to a new funding model.

54. ACABx received feedback from CABs regarding the new model, stating that they do not support targeted funding for deprivation as they consider that it conflicts with the CAB principle of treating all clients equally. Staff consider that including deprivation in the funding model supports the principle of treating all clients equally by using an equitable approach. The Auckland Plan 2050, adopts an equitable approach by prioritising the most vulnerable groups and communities through focusing investment to address disparities and serve communities of greatest need.

55. Some bureaux are concerned that they may not have the capacity to expand services to meet the expectations of increased funding. Staff recommend that bureaux work together to share best practice when developing new service approaches.

56. Bureaux also suggested that the proposed model does not serve rural communities with small populations. This will be addressed in the next phase of the work in the development of the regional network service provision framework.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

57. Following council’s decision, staff will negotiate new funding and strategic relationship agreements with ACABx for the 2019-2021 period. This will also include working with ACABx to develop a regional network service provision framework to be completed by 30 September 2020.

58. Any increase in baseline funding to ACABx will need to be considered by the Finance and Performance Committee.
