Horopaki

Context

6.       This report addresses transport-related matters in the local board area and includes information on the status of the LBTCF and LBTCF projects.

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

8.       Any LBTCF projects selected must be safe, must not impede network efficiency, and must be located in the road corridor or on land controlled by Auckland Transport (though projects running through parks can be considered if there is a transport outcome).

9.       AT is responsible for all of Auckland’s transport services, excluding state highways. AT reports on a monthly basis to local boards, as set out in the Local Board Engagement Plan. This monthly reporting commitment acknowledges the important engagement role local boards play within and on behalf of their local communities.

 

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Slow down around schools

10.     AT is running a series of awareness campaigns in May to encourage car drivers to slow down around schools.

11.     The campaigns will feature 15 second radio advertisements focusing on weekday breakfast and drive times, a series of bus-back advertising and advertisements on Facebook.

Community Safety Fund (CSF)

12.     The 2018 RLTP allocated $20m for local initiatives in road safety: $5m in FY19/20 and $15m in FY20/21. It is apportioned to local board areas by a formula focused on numbers of Deaths and Serious Injuries (DSI).

13.     The Manurewa Local Board has been allocated $1,015,221 over the two years, with decisions on projects due by 30 June 2019.

14.     Projects can be supplemented with the board’s remaining LBTCF of $769,382, but all CSF funding must be spent, with no carryover possible.

15.     AT is now preparing more information for the board on projects that both it, and the broader community, have identified as important safety issues. The board will then be able to prioritise its spend before the deadline of 30 June 2019.

Integrated Networks department projects

Rail Franchise Procurement

16.     The Rail Franchise team is advertising the market engagement process and inviting interested parties to take part in consultation to inform the scope and terms of the future Auckland rail franchise. Direct emails have been sent to a number of global rail operators along with tender notices and advertisements in industry newsletters and on social media (LinkedIn and Twitter).

Waiheke New Network bus services Go Live date announced

17.     The AT Board has approved the final Waiheke New Network decisions report and announced the Go Live date of Sunday, 13 October 2019.  As a result of analysing the 932 pieces of feedback, test driving the routes, conducting safety and environmental audits, as well as other influencing factors such as budget and practical constraints, changes were made to all the proposed services and three new services were added. 

Local projects and activities

Te Mahia station upgrade

18.     AT has completed the majority of works at Te Mahia Station.

19.     Improvements include platform drainage improvements; a new station shelter; lighting, a public announcement system, passenger information and CCTV improvements; and perimeter fencing and upgrades to the pedestrian level crossing. 

20.     Additional station signage remains to be installed.

Audits

21.     The Manurewa Town Centre (MTC) Decluttering Audit has been completed and received.

22.     The Accessibility Audit is due in May from Te Roopu Waiora via Barrier Free NZ.

23.     AT recommends reading the two audits together to develop a single project plan. This will enable actions to be coordinated between the two reports, ensuring that related recommendations are completed together, while avoiding duplication of effort and resources.

24.     Discussions will then be held with the Manurewa Town Centre Steering Group (MTC) as to how best to proceed with implementing the recommendations of the two audits with suggestions then going to the board for approval.

Manurewa Wayfinding

25.     AT has completed a project brief and forwarded this to a shortlist of recommended project management/design agencies, asking them to quote for the work. The successful quotes will provide a rough order of costs (ROC) for the board to approve.

Hill Road-Charles Prevost Drive intersection in The Gardens

26.     AT is proposing changes to the intersection to improve traffic flow and walking amenities on Hill Road. Currently, this intersection experiences congestion and delays in the eastbound direction during afternoon peaks.There are also opportunities for improving pedestrian provisions in relation to the redevelopment of Elmwood Retirement Village.

27.     Consultation closed on 19 April 2019 and the public feedback is being analysed with an initial report due in late May 2019.

400 Roscommon Rd pedestrian crossing

28.     New lighting poles have been installed next to the crossing on both sides of the road.

29.     New, enhanced pedestrian crossing warning signs from both directions are also planned to be installed.

30.     The board will not be required to fund LED lights from its Community Safety Fund allocation.

Alfriston Rd/Magic Way intersection traffic flow improvements

31.     AT is currently undertaking consultation within the organisation about proposed traffic flow and safety improvements at this intersection.

32.     The board will be informed when the draft designs are ready for public consultation.

Claude Rd/Alfriston Rd intersection safety improvements

33.     AT does not have safety improvements at this intersection in its ‘high’ priority category for its safety programme.

34.     The board could fund the safety solution it selects, such as signalising this intersection (and potentially at the Claude Rd/Hill Rd intersection as well) through the Community Safety Fund.

·   MTC reps have met with AT staff to discuss how the station’s current and future requirements (e.g. level crossing improvements and eventual over bridge and ramps etc) and any bus priority measures on the road will impact on the land at 286 Gt South Rd to better understand what impacts/ limitations those projects will have or impose on the board’s aspirations for the site.

·   AC owns the land but it is managed by AT.

·   A project for a billboard is being discussed and funding sought for its design and build, along with ATEED.

·    GSR unit: Board approved expenditure of up to $25,000 for removal of anti-graffiti coating before the film wrap can be applied.

·   FEC = 2 x $10,500 = $21,000

(Actual cost of additional removal of anti-graffiti coating on GSR Exeloo = $23,213)

·   Bus station unit is complete. The new film wrap has been installed on the Great South Road Exeloo.

643

Various bus shelters:

·    In October 2018, the board requested rough orders of costs for the installation of bus shelters at the following bus stops:

1.  Stop 2125 – 123 Weymouth Road: $35,000

2.  Stop 2276 – 2 Riverton Drive: $35,000

3.  Stop 6796 – Wattle Farm Road (opp Ranger Place): $37,000

·   All shelters have shelter pad, shelter and related minor improvements (from $35-41k). Shelters 6 and 9 have more work to remove the road indent, hence the additional costs. (If an FEC is sought, this will update the cost.) For these shelters, AT’s Assets department recommends installing new cantilever shelters, the design for which is going through approval.

Horopaki

Context

8.       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.

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

10.     The Manurewa Local Board adopted its grants programme for 2018/2019 on 19 April 2018 (resolution MR/2018/46) and will operate three quick response and two local grants rounds this financial year. 

11.     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.

12.     The Manurewa Local Board set a total community grants budget of $141,000 at the beginning of the 2018/2019 financial year.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

13.     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.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

14.     Based on the main focus of an application, a subject matter expert from the relevant department will provide input and advice. The main focus of an application is 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 Manurewa 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.     Staff will 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.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

18.     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.

19.     Thirteen applicants applying to Manurewa Local Grants Round Two and seven multi-board applications, indicated that their project targets Māori or Māori outcomes.

Keith Park Toilet and Playground Concept Design

File No.: CP2019/07064

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek approval of the Keith Park Toilet and Playground Concept Plan by the Manurewa Local Board and progress with detailed design to allow for physical works.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Plans to upgrade the Keith Park toilet and playground has been driven by community aspirations to have the park become a focal point for inclusive and accessible play, and for the community to socialise and gather.

3.       Consultation and engagement events were held at the park to help inform the concept plan.

4.       This is a community led project that was co-designed with the all-abilities stakeholder group. This group includes Deaf Aotearoa, Blind Foundation, Acorn Autism, Disability Action, Parafed Auckland, Talking Matters, Wilson Home Trust and local community members.

5.       The concept plan identifies the opportunity to increase the utilisation of Keith Park by bringing the playground and toilet up to the community level of service and improving the recreational activities.

6.       This aligns with the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2017 desired outcome of ‘People in Manurewa are actively connecting everywhere, every day’ and delivering on local community expectations that Keith Park will provide a space for all to be included and valued.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      approve the Keith Park Toilet and Playground Concept Plan (Attachment A to the report titled Keith Park Toilet and Playground Concept Design).

b)      approve additional funding of $50,000 from financial year 2018/2019 locally driven initiatives (LDI) capital funding budget for an additional accessible toilet unit for Keith Park.

c)      delegate authority to approve the toilet artwork to the Manurewa Local Board Chair and/or other Manurewa Local Board member.

d)      delegate authority to approve minor amendments of the final design to the Keith Park Playground and Toilet, to the Manurewa Local Board Chair and/or another Manurewa Local Board member.

 

 

Horopaki

Context

7.       Keith Park toilet and playground was initially added into the Community Facilities FY2016/2017 renewals work programme. The board showed interest in enhancing the playground by potentially adding locally driven initiatives (LDI) budget towards the design and delivery. 

8.       The Manurewa Local Board has received feedback from the community that the recently developed playground at Waimahia Reserve did not meet the requirements of children with accessibility needs and they are therefore unable to enjoy community park assets.

9.       Keith Park is situated along the Weymouth residential area that faces the Manukau Harbour. The park has multiple visitors and events throughout the year.

10.     The draft concept plan as provided in Attachment A reflects a community led design with the all-abilities stakeholder group. The plan uses the natural topography of the site to allow a fully accessible pathway around the playground. The plan delivers on the community’s vision to have a playground that is educational, functional, fun, interactive and supportive of group play.

11.     The park currently provides a carpark and single unit toilet block that is approximately 130 meters away from the playground and has low levels of visitation. The hidden location of the toilet block does not align with Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles.

12.     The proposed toilet location will be by the new playground facing Roys Road. The new site will promote natural surveillance by allowing visibility from all angles. It will be easily accessible by the public which will increase overall utilisation.

13.     The stakeholder group raised concerns that a single unit toilet would not be fit for purpose as it will not provide public adult diaper changing facilities. Currently children and adults are changed on the toilet floors which poses a sanitary issue.

10.     Including a double unisex toilet unit as indicated in Attachment B will allow the community to have a bespoke changing bench for children and adults. This option will address the issue; however, will require further financial investment from the local board.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

15.     The feedback from the community and all abilities stakeholder group revealed the aspirations to develop the park and provide the following outcomes:

16.     Play space for all ages and abilities

·    Design includes a bespoke tower with an accessible viewing platform with interactive panels, inclusive net seesaw, accessible basket swing, wheelchair trampoline, inclusive carousel and musical sensory play item

·    90% of play equipment will cater for all abilities

·    Three educational communication boards will be included within the playground incorporating sign language and braille way finding.

 

17.     Social gathering space

·    Further seating and picnic areas including space for wheelchairs by adding extra concrete by the seats and picnic table

·    Low sitting wall inside the playground to allow optimal space and allow more interaction.

18.     Access

·    New accessible entrances

·    Fully fenced playground due to the proximity to the car park and road

·    Most safety surfaces will be rubberised instead of bark to allow optimal mobility access. Also provides further play by adding in meaningful patterns that will guide children who are sight impaired to play equipment.


 

 

19.     Safety

·    A well-configured park designed to meet Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles.

·    Toilet is facing towards the road and closer to the playground to encourage natural surveillance.

20.     Staff propose the immediate next step is to commence with detailed design. Detailed design will include discussions with the stakeholder group to further develop the communication boards.

21.     Following completion of the detailed design another workshop will be held with the stakeholder group for them to review the final design and progress to the tendering phase.

22.     Indicative Project timeline

Community Facilities have made all efforts to fast track this project without compromising quality outcomes to meet community and local board expectations. Below is the indicative project programme:

May

,May – July Detailed design,July - August

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

23.     Council staff from Community Facilities and Community Services were engaged to form the proposals in this report. Staff agree that utilisation of the park will provide a wide range of recreational opportunities for the local and wider community. Staff support the proposed concept plan for Keith Park.

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

Local impacts and local board views

24.     Developing Keith Park will benefit the community as it aligns with the Manurewa Local Board Plan outcome of ‘People in Manurewa are actively connecting everywhere, every day’, by creating spaces and places that meet the diverse aspirations of the community.

25.     Board members provided feedback at an onsite meeting held on 1 April 2019 to provide further benefits by increasing the height levels of the tower and ensuring accessibility and inclusiveness are well represented.

26.     One of the main benefits of this project was strengthening the communities’ voice and working together to design a playground that fits the communities’ needs.

27.     This concept plan will improve the overall lack of all-ability play in both Manurewa and Auckland.  

28.     A workshop with the local board was held on the 24 April 2019 to discuss the concept design. Feedback was positive, with only one concern, being the potential noise disturbance of musical play to the residents.  As Keith Park has no direct residents, this should not have any impact. The Manurewa Local Board Chair consulted with the residents, who raised no concerns with the potential noise disturbance.

29.     Staff understand that Keith Park is a priority project for the local board who are keen to see the physical works commencing in October 2019. Staff recommend that authority to approve any minor changes to the design can be delegated to the Manurewa Local Board Chair and/or other local board member. This assists in ensuring the the project timeline is not affected.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

30.     Parks and heritage are of fundamental importance to Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions. Development of the reserve will benefit Maori and the wider community through increased access to recreational opportunities and increased community well-being.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

31.     In May 2018, the local board approved the allocation of $200,000 from the LDI capital fund to go towards the development and delivery of Keith Park playground (resolution MR/2018/72).

32.     There is currently $440,000 allocated from the 2017/2018 Capital Renewals Programme to progress the delivery of the project. 

33.     Staff recommend that the $50,000 for the additional accessible toilet block is allocated from the LDI capital funding. 

34.     An additional $100,000 capital renewals funding has been programmed in future years for this project; however, this is dependent on local board approval of the Community Facilities FY2019/2020 work programme in June 2019. 

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

35.     The first round of community consultation was in 2017. There is an expectation from the local community that the reserve will be developed during financial year 2019/2020, to deliver the recreation outcomes identified in the concept plan.

36.     Failure to fund the second toilet block could result in an opportunity missed to provide an inclusive park for users and to deliver on a Local Board Plan 2017 priority outcome one.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

37.     Subject to local board approval, staff will commence with the detail design work of Keith Park in order to achieve the physical works target in financial year 2019/2020.

38.     Further consultation will be held with the all-abilities stakeholder group at the detailed design stage to progress to physical works.

1.       To seek approval from the Manurewa Local Board to retain the name ‘Puaki Drive’ for a new section of this existing public road within Stage 2 of the Wiri North Quarry development.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Fletcher Residential Limited is applying for road naming approval for Lot 201, being an extension of the existing public road ‘Puaki Drive’ situated between 160 Roscommon Road and 149 Wiri Station Road. The road extension is part of Stage 2 of the Wiri North Quarry development approved under resource consent references SUB60318101 and SUB60318101-A.

3.       The existing road name ‘Puaki Drive’ was approved by the Manurewa Local Board under resolution number MR/2017/230 for Stage 1 of the Wiri North Quarry development. However, this road name was only approved up to the Stage 1 boundary (beginning of Lot 201). The new Stage 2 section therefore requires formal road name approval.

4.       As the proposed name is an extension of the existing ‘Puaki Drive’ road name, no alternative names have been provided.

5.       The proposed road name extension meets the Auckland Council’s Road Naming Guidelines and the National Addressing Standards for road naming, with ‘Puaki Drive’ having already been approved by the Manurewa Local Board in this location.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      approve the name ‘Puaki Drive’ for Lot 201 public road to vest, being an extension of the existing public road named Puaki Drive within Stage 2 of the Wiri North Quarry development by Fletcher Residential Limited, resource consent references SUB60318101 and SUB60318101-A, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974.

 

Horopaki

Context

6.       The existing public road named ‘Puaki Drive’ was first created by way of an upgrade to the intersection of Roscommon Road with Vogler Drive, Manurewa, as part of Stage 1 of the Wiri North Quarry development. This road name was approved by the Manurewa Local Board under resolution number MR/2017/230.

7.       This existing public road is now being extended as part of Stage 2 of the Wiri North Quarry development, and this new section known as Lot 201 requires formal approval from the local board to retain the name Puaki Drive’.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

8.       As the existing public road name ‘Puaki Drive’ has already undergone the road naming process for Stage 1 of the Wiri North Quarry development, and was approved by the Manurewa Local Board, there is no reason why this road name cannot be extended to the new section of road (Lot 201).

9.       A site plan showing the location of Lot 201 and the existing approved section of ‘Puaki Drive’ is attached as Attachment A of this report.

10.     The name ‘Puaki’ was suggested by Ngati Te Ata. ‘Puaki’ is an ancestor with long standing ancestral, heritage and identity links to both Ngati Te Ata and Te Akitai. Literally, Puaki means to "open out" which is exactly what the proposed road does.

11.     All consultation for the proposed road name was undertaken under the original naming application and summarised in the report approved under resolution number MR/2017/230.

12.     It is recommended that the existing name ‘Puaki Drive’ be extended to the new section of road to ensure smooth passage and ease of navigation and wayfinding. The two sections will become one seamless public road when the development is completed, so two names are not required and would cause confusion. For this reason no alternative names have been provided.

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek approval from the Manurewa Local Board to name one extension and one new private road, being a commonly owned access lot, created by way of a subdivision development at 106-118 Wordsworth Road & 17 Awakino Place, Manurewa (Site E), (Special Housing Area).

Whakarāpopototanga matua

4.       Any of the three proposed road name options are suitable for approval as 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 Manurewa Local Board:

a)      approve the name ‘Awakino Place’ for the new private road to be extended at 106-118 Wordsworth Road & 17 Awakino Place, Manurewa, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60308178, SUB60308179).

 

b)      approve the name ‘Whakaute Lane’ for the new private road created by way of subdivision at 106-118 Wordsworth Road & 17 Awakino Place, Manurewa (Site E) in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60308178, SUB60308179).

 

 

Horopaki

Context

5.       Resource consent BUN60308178, SUB60308179 was issued 22 December 2016 for the construction of 50 residential units across 3 development sites, under the Housing Accords and Special Housing Area Act 2013 (HASHAA).

6.       Only one development (site E), consisting of 23 residential dwellings, is included in this road naming application, with two commonly owned access lots (COALs) requiring a name.

7.       Road 2 will become an extension to the ‘Awakino Place’ cul-de-sac. The applicant requests to name Road 2 as ‘Awakino Place’ to prevent potential confusion for users, due to Road 1 being a T junction with Road 2.

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 5 lots.

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

Analysis and advice

10.     The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines allow that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the local board’s approval.

11.     Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically require that road names reflect one of the following local themes, with the use of Maori names being actively encouraged:

-   a historical or ancestral linkage to an area;

-   a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity theme or feature; or

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

12.     The applicant has proposed a road name where a person (Darrell Woodhouse) being commemorated is still living. As referenced in the Road Naming Guidelines, the names of living people are actively discouraged as community attitudes and opinions can change over time. It is therefore recommended that the name ‘Darrell Woodhouse Lane’ not be approved.

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

Proposed Names & Preferences

Meaning (as described by applicant)

Darrell Woodhouse Lane

(applicant’s preferred name)

The Woodhouse family has been part of the Manurewa community since the late 1960s and stalwarts of the Manurewa Rugby League Club. Darrell was a foundation pupil at Rowandale School in 1969, where he now works as caretaker. As a child, he remembers walking through the paddocks where the school and our site now stand.

Whakaute Lane

Huatau Lane

(alternative 2)

Maori translation: (noun) thought, idea, comment, opinion, concept.

Note: Ngāti Te Ata are not in support of this name being proposed as part of this road naming application.

Ngāti Te Ata commented:

“We do not support option for Huatau Lane. Huatau is a name of a significant ancestor of Ngāti Te Ata. Te Ata a Rehia, is the eponymous ancestor of our iwi, and her father was Huatau, the son of Huakaiwaka the eponymous ancestor of Waiohua, who ourselves, Te Akitai Waiohua trace their lineage from”.

 

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 of the proposed names are acceptable and not duplicated elsewhere in the region.

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

Ngaitai-ki-tamaki responded in support of the applicant’s proposed names, and Ngaati Whanaunga suggested a name which the applicant has included in this application for the boards consideration. Ngāti Te Ata did not support the name ‘Huatau’ which was suggested by Ngati Whanaunga, but did support the rest of the names. No other responses were received.

18.     As this site shares a common boundary with Rowandale Primary School, Housing New Zealand approached the school to suggest possible names for the site. One name was suggested which Housing NZ has chosen to submit as their preferred option.

19.     Permission from Darrell Woodhouse has been obtained for the use of his name.

Business Improvement District Programme Compliance Report to Manurewa Local Board for FY 2017-2018

File No.: CP2019/06702

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.   To seek the Manurewa Local Board’s recommendation to the Governing Body to strike the BID (Business Improvement District) targeted rates for the Manurewa and Wiri business associations for the 2019-2020 financial year.  

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Auckland Council’s Business Improvement District (BID) programme supports business associations by collecting a targeted rate from commercial properties within a defined geographic area.  The funds from the targeted rate are then provided by way of a grant to the relevant BID.

3.       The BIDs are incorporated societies that are independent of council.  For the council to be confident that the funds provided to the BIDs are being used appropriately, council requires the BIDs to comply with the Business Improvement District (BID) Policy (2016) (Hōtaka ā-Rohe Whakapiki Pakihi), known as the BID Policy. 

4.       The BID Policy was developed to encourage improved governance of BID committees and staff to improve financial management, programme delivery and transparency to their members. 

5.       This report indicates that the Manurewa and Wiri business associations are compliant with the BID Policy. Information presented in this report is based on documents submitted by the business associations to council’s BID programme team. 

6.       Staff recommend that as the BID has met the requirements of the BID Policy, the Manurewa Local Board should, therefore recommend to the Governing Body to strike the targeted rates sought by the BID.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      recommends to the Governing Body to strike the targeted rates for inclusion in the Annual Budget 2019-2020 for the following Business Improvement District (BID) programmes:

·        $157,000 for Manurewa Business Association

·        $737,000 for Wiri Business Association.

 

 

Horopaki

Context

7.       The council adopted the Business Improvement District (BID) Policy (Hōtaka ā-Rohe Whakapiki Pakihi) in 2016.  This Policy outlines the principles behind the council’s BID programme; creates the process for establishing, expanding, and disestablishing BIDs; prescribes operating standards and guidelines; and sets accountability requirements.  Attachment A provides an overview of key elements of the BID programme.

8.       BID targeted rates are applied to all commercially rated properties within a designated area around a town centre or commercial precinct. Those funds are transferred to the business association operating the BID programme.

9.       There are currently 48 BID programmes throughout Auckland which represent more than 25,000 businesses and a combined $17.7 million in targeted rates investment.  Attachment B provides the current and proposed targeted rates budgets for all BIDs.

10.     Under the Auckland Council shared governance arrangements, local boards are allocated several decision-making responsibilities in relation to BIDs. One of these is to annually recommend BID targeted rates to the Governing Body.  The local board should recommend the striking of the targeted rate if it is satisfied that the BID is substantially complying with the BID Policy.

11.     Recommendations arising from this report are put into effect with the Governing Body’s approval of the Annual Budget 2019-2020 and striking of the targeted rate.

12.     This report is a requirement of the BID Policy. The local board must decide whether to endorse the BID targeted rates.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

13.     The council’s BID programme team monitors compliance with the BID Policy on an ongoing basis and provides governance advice to BID-operating business associations as needed or requested.

14.     As BID programmes are operated by private independent societies, their programmes and services are provided according to their members’ stated priorities.  In recognition of their independent corporate status, the policy does not prescribe standards for programme effectiveness.  Staff, therefore, cannot base recommendations on these factors, but only on the policy’s express requirements.

Compliance with the BID Policy

15.     The BID policy is the means for council to ensure accountability for BID targeted rate funding and to encourage good governance. This is achieved by requiring regular reporting by BID-operating business associations specifically by providing to council the following documents, and staying in touch with their local board(s) at least once a year:

·   Current Strategic Plan – evidence of achievable medium- to long-term opportunities.

·   Audited Accounts – assurance that the BID-operating business association is managing its members’ BID targeted rate funds responsibly.

·   Annual Report on the year just completed – evidence that programmes are addressing priority issues that benefit BID targeted ratepayers.

·   Business Plan for the coming year – detailed one-year programme, based on the Strategic Plan, to be achieved and resourced.

·   Indicative Budget for the following year – Auckland Council’s Annual Budget requires targeted rates to be identified a year in advance to inform the Annual Budget process which sets all rates.

·   Board Charter – establishes guidelines for effective board governance and positive relationships between the association and its members.

·   Annual Accountability Agreement – certification that these requirements have been met.

·   Programme Agreement – a good faith agreement between each BID-operating business association and council that sets basic parameters of the council-business association relationship.

16.     The BID Policy requires each business association to ratify the BID grant amount/targeted rate and budget for the following financial year. Manurewa and Wiri business associations presented their 2019-2020 BID grant amount/targeted rate and budget at their 2018 AGM for approval. The AGM by way of a resolution accepted the 2019-2020 BID grant amount/targeted rate, which enables the Manurewa Local Board to recommend to the Governing Body the striking of BID targeted rates for 2019-2020.

17.     The Manurewa and Wiri business associations comply with the BID Policy and therefore it is recommended that the Manurewa Local Board recommends to the Governing Body the striking of the targeted rate relevant to these business associations. 

18.     The recommendation of this report is supported by evidence of compliance with the BID Policy by the Manurewa and Wiri business associations as provided in Attachments C and D.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

19.    The proposed decision does not impact other parts of the council group.

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

Local impacts and local board views

20.     The Governing Body striking the targeted rates for the Manurewa and Wiri business associations will enable these BID programmes to continue to be funded from targeted rates  and provide services in accordance with their members’ priorities as stated in their strategic plan. 

21.     Staff do not comment on the effectiveness of individual BID programmes as that is a matter for the members to assess.

22.     The Manurewa Local Board approved a similar recommendation for these BID programmes last year (resolution number MR/2018/60) as did the 17 other local boards that have BID programmes operating in their areas.

23.     Several local boards provide additional funding to local business associations. However,  accountability for that funding is set by funding agreements between the local board and the business association.  Those requirements are apart from the requirements of the BID Policy and are not covered in this report.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

24.     BIDs work for the benefits of all members, including Māori businesses.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

25.     There are no financial implications for the local board. Targeted rates for BID-operating business associations are raised directly from commercial ratepayers in the district and used by the business association for improvements within that district.  The council’s financial role is only to collect the BID targeted rates and pass them directly to the business association on a quarterly basis.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

26.     There are no direct financial risks to the local board or council that could result from this recommendation to approve the BID targeted rates.

27.     The requirements of the BID Policy are intended to help minimise the potential for BIDs to misuse funds, by requiring each BID to plan for the intended use of funds, report on its activities to its members, and to have its accounts audited. 

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

28.     If the board endorses this report, it will recommend to the Governing Body that the BID targeted rates be struck as part of its approval of the Annual Budget 2019-2020.

Remuneration Authority - policy on child care allowances

File No.: CP2019/07373

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide feedback on the Remuneration Authority’s proposed policy on child care allowances.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Remuneration Authority has previously received submissions from members in other councils stating that if childcare were a claimable expense, then serving in local government might be a more realistic option for parents who are currently deterred from considering the role because of the costs of childcare. Some jurisdictions in other countries provide such allowances.

3.       The authority has distributed its proposed policy in order to get feedback from councils and individual elected members.  The proposed policy is in Attachment A. The authority has asked for feedback by 31 May 2019 and intends to include the provision in its determination that comes into force on 1 July 2019.

4.       At present, the authority determines allowances for vehicle mileage, travel time and communications. Each individual council considers its approach to the expenses and allowances and writes its own policies within the upper limits set by the authority.  If the authority determines that childcare allowances are permissible the council could include, within the framework established by the authority, specific rules in the council’s expenses policy.

5.       A draft submission on the proposed policy has been prepared and is attached as Attachment B. Elected members can provide individual comments to the Remuneration Authority if they wish, by 31 May 2019.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      endorse the draft submission on the Remuneration Authority’s proposed policy on childcare allowances.

 

 

Horopaki

Context

6.       LGNZ has formed a Young Elected Members (YEM) committee with members representing LGNZ Zones. These are elected members who are under the age of 40 years.  The YEM network has raised the matter of childcare costs with the Remuneration Authority.  They cite examples such as a member of a smaller council who is 24 years of age and on a salary of $18,707.  Another, struggling to pay for childcare on her councillor’s salary of $20,634 opted instead to bring her child to meetings[1]

7.       The group makes the point that other costs of attending to council duties can be claimed, such as mileage and communications, but not the cost of childcare.  The group is broadly interested in developing the ability of younger elected members. 

8.       The Remuneration Authority has researched childcare allowances and is now inviting feedback on its draft policy, which includes the eligibility and payment conditions which will be included in the authority’s formal determination.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

9.       The Remuneration Authority has recognised the need to address childcare costs if those with families are not to be deterred from standing for local government office.

10.     Salaries paid to Auckland local board members and Governing Body members are generally higher than in smaller council districts in New Zealand, where it is likely elected members particularly struggle to meet childcare costs from their salaries.  Nevertheless, the provision of the allowance may encourage greater diversity in those standing for election in Auckland.

11.     The cost to the council and the ratepayer is reasonable in terms of the total budget for elected members’ remuneration but is a significant help for the member who has to arrange childcare.  The policy places a cap of $6,000 per annum for any member.  LGNZ statistics show that approximately 6 per cent of elected members are 40 years of age or below[2].  On that basis, the cost to Auckland Council, if 6 per cent of members (10 members) claimed the allowance, would be $60,000.

12.     The Remuneration Authority indicates it is in discussion with the Inland Revenue Department about how the allowance will be treated for tax purposes (as income or as an expense reimbursement).  It is possible it will be taxed at source (that is by the council) prior to payment.

13.     Payment of the allowance under the proposed conditions requires evidence of the expense incurred.  This is supported.

14.     The allowance cannot be paid to family members. This is supported.

15.     The proposed conditions state that a local authority may pay the childcare allowance as a contribution towards expenses incurred by the member for childcare provided while the member is engaged on local authority business.  This wording may be too wide.  Consider a member who has regularly arranged childcare, irrespective of undertaking council duties, deciding to spend two hours preparing for the next council meeting while the children happen to be in childcare. The member would be “engaged on local authority business” and could claim the childcare cost of those two hours.

16.     Staff researched conditions around payment by other councils in other jurisdictions.  One council simply paid the full cost of childcare.  Another specified the meetings and events that could be claimed. Staff believe the intent of the provision is to make a contribution toward the cost of childcare where that is necessary in order for the member to undertake council duties, such as attend meetings.  The wording should indicate more clearly that the payment is for childcare costs that are necessary in order for the member to undertake council duties and are not simply childcare costs that are incurred at the same time the member is undertaking council duties and would have been incurred anyway, if the member was not attending to council duties.

17.     Other conditions are:

(i)    the child is under 14 years

(ii)   payment cannot be greater than $15 per hour and cannot be greater than the actual expense

(iii)  childcare cannot be for more than 8 hours in any 24 hour period.

These are supported.

18.     Staff recommend that the council supports the proposed policy with the comment, outlined above, that the purpose should more clearly reflect that the expense is a necessary expense in order for the member to attend to duties.

19.     Staff also note that the council itself will decide its own provisions to include in its expenses policy, within the framework set by the authority.

20.     Members can provide individual comments to the Remuneration Authority if they wish, by 31 May 2019.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

21.     The Remuneration Authority’s policy applies only to elected members and does not impact the group.

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

Local impacts and local board views

22.     The policy affects all elected members, including local board members.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

23.     The Remuneration Authority’s policy may assist those in the Māori community who are potential candidates for election but are deterred by the costs of childcare.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

24.     There will be financial implications.  As noted in the body of the report, the additional cost is likely to be less than $60,000 and will impact the cost centre for elected members’ remuneration.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

25.     There is a small risk of the provision being abused (false claims submitted).  The requirement for evidence of the amount paid will mitigate this risk.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

26.     This report is being presented to local boards for their feedback.  It is also being circulated to Governing Body members for their feedback.  The draft submission will be amended if there is a clear majority position in favour of an amendment.

File No.: CP2019/06970

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide the Manurewa Local Board with an integrated quarterly performance report for quarter three, 1 January – 31 March 2019.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       This report includes progress against work programmes as provided in Attachment A of this report, financial performance, key challenges the board should be aware of and any risks to delivery against the 2018/2019 work programme. This is a retrospective report intended to provide a transparent overview and reflect the progress of how the Manurewa Local Board work programme is tracking at the end of quarter three 2018/2019.

3.       The work programme is produced annually and aligns with the Manurewa Local Board Plan outcomes.

4.       Key activity updates from this quarter are:

·   increased uptake of the Lifelong Learning Fund

·   completion and opening of the Randwick Park playground

·   successful delivery of a number of events

·   physical works underway at Te Matariki Clendon Community Centre, Totara Park and at the Manurewa Netball complex

·   progress on the Weymouth Boat Ramp with stakeholder engagement and the completion of the planning assessment at Jellicoe Park Tennis Club

·   support for the Manurewa Business Association to initiate a Business Improvement District expansion

·   continuing positive trend in participation at local community facilities, including an increase in targeted aquatic visits.

5.       All operating departments with agreed work programmes have provided a quarterly update against their work programme delivery. Most activities are reported with a status of green (on track), amber (some risk or issues, which are being managed) or grey (cancelled, deferred or merged). The following one activity is reported with a status of red (behind delivery, significant risk):

·   David Nathan Park - renew park assets.

6.       The financial performance report compared to budget 2018/2019 can be found as Attachment B of this report. There are some points for the local board to note.

·   Net financial operating performance for the Manurewa Local Board area is over budget year to date.

·   Operating expenditure is three per cent over budget mainly in parks services.

·   Operating revenue is six percent below budget with leisure and recreation services continuing an unfavourable trend.

·   Capital spend is ahead of budget, with delivery mainly being War Memorial Park, Totara Park, Mountfort Park and Randwick Park Playground. The spend against the full year budget is seventy per cent.

Local Board Work Programme Snapshot

10.     The work programme activities have two statuses; RAG status which measures the performance of the activity (amber and red show issues and risks); and activity status which shows the stage of the activity. These two statuses create a snapshot of the progress of the work programmes.

11.     The graph below identifies work programme activity by RAG status (red, amber, green and grey). It shows the percentage of work programme activities that are on track (green), in progress but with issues that are being managed (amber), and activities that have significant issues (red) and activities that have been cancelled/deferred/merged (grey).

Graph 2: Work Programme by RAG status

 

12.     The graph below identifies work programme activity by activity status and department. The number of activity lines differ by department as approved in the local board work programmes. 

Graph 3: work programme activity by activity status and department

Key activity updates from quarter two

13.     The following are key activity updates from quarter two. These are aligned to outcomes in the Manurewa Local Board Plan.

People in Manurewa are actively connecting everywhere, every day

·   On 29 March, following the completion of the Randwick Park Playground approximately 500 people attended a successful community-led opening at the park.

·   Jazz in the Gardens was successfully delivered on 19 January at Nathan Homestead. Three jazz bands including the Manukau Youth Jazz Orchestra entertained an audience of approximately 500 attendees. It was an enjoyable interactive event, with great weather and a positive community vibe.

·   Physical works are underway at Te Matariki Clendon Community Centre. This is a comprehensive renewal including an exterior building refurbishment, fenced carpark for centre/staff vehicles, outdoor seating replacement, reception/office refit, roof replacement and cladding refixing, stadium court divider installation, stadium repaint, storeroom extension, upgrade security system, Whare Kai floor replacement, Youth Zone shade sail installation and kitchen upgrade.

·   The Totara Park renewals work has begun on site. This includes renewing the base course, boardwalk, carpark, fences, gate, paths, retaining wall, rubbish bin, seats, signs, step and toilet block. Staff anticipate completion by July 2019.

·   Jellicoe Park Tennis Club is currently in investigation phase. The planning assessment is completed. Staff will progress with assessment recommendations to project scope. This includes the land survey and consultation.

·   At the Manurewa Pool and Leisure Centre targeted aquatic visits, supported by local board funding, have continued to increase during quarter three. Senior swimming visits have increased a further 10% and exceeded 2,000 visits for the period. Visits by supervising adults have grown by nearly 30%, as have free swimming visits for children 16 and under. Swimming visits for people with disabilities increased significantly, to over 200 in the quarter. It is likely that, because of the success of this funding, that the usage will exceed the budget agreed for this financial year.

A prosperous local economy supporting local people

·   Responsibility for CCTV maintenance in the Manurewa town centre was planned to transfer to Auckland Transport on 31 December 2018. The transition process is underway but is not yet complete. During quarter three, scheduled maintenance of the town centre CCTV system continued. The project to transition the system to Auckland Transport's (AT) safer city network has now migrated most of the cameras. There remains a small number of cameras for which technical issues exist and will require additional investment in time and resource to migrate over. This will delay the transfer beyond the expected middle of April 2019 date. AT acknowledges the need to transfer the system by the end of the 2018/2019 financial year.

·   Over the quarter the local board has funded the Manurewa Business Association to deliver placemaking activities in Manurewa and Clendon and for a Business Improvement District (BID) expansion process.

·   The Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) Kick Start Days took place in February 2019. This is the first day students meet the Young Enterprise team, and find out about their 2019 year, what YES is all about, and meet some of the students they are up against from across the region.

·   The Clendon Pride Bilingual Hikoi took place on 23 March. This one-day event has the aim of connecting the community together in a positive and healthy way whilst upholding Te Reo Maori throughout the day through weaving it into activations across a range of locations in Clendon. Clendon Library was a stop-off point for the hikoi which attracted a large number of whanāu in the community.

 Manurewa is well connected and easy to move around

·   Weymouth boat ramp - Stakeholder engagement is currently underway as a concurrent approach along with the planning and consenting.

·   Work is progressing at Te Mahia station through the Manurewa Town Centre Steering Group.

·   The Manurewa Greenways Plan opened for consultation near the end of this quarter.

Our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community

·   Manurewa Arboriculture Contracts - Wet conditions towards the later part of quarter two gave way to drought conditions over much of February into March. The conditions provided a challenge to keep trees planted during last winter sufficiently watered. The drought conditions had an adverse effect on some larger trees through parks and streets. The conditions did allow easy access into parks to undertake the summer works programme. As the weather turns, there will be a transition from park tree maintenance, back to a street tree maintenance focus.

·   During quarter three, Te Awa Ora Trust (Talking Trash) door knocked on 586 homes in the Manurewa East area. This resulted in 251 face to face engagements, with information pamphlets left at all households. Door knocking activity will continue in quarter four, providing information on waste minimisation, what to do with waste and recycling, and promoting and booking residents into the inorganic collection.

·   In February, the Manukau Harbour Forum supported a community focused forum stall at the Onehunga Festival, presenting an integrated display with the Our Water Future engagement staff. This resulted in at least 80 face to face interactions with the public. The stall was well attended by elected members and supported by the council’s Sustainable Schools team and participants from the youth leadership programme.

·    As part of the revegetation of the upper Puhinui Stream headwaters within Tōtara Park, a final fencing plan was confirmed for the planting site following stakeholder consultation and landowner approval. A fencing contractor has been procured and fencing works will begin in April 2019.

Manurewa is our home, our community

·   During quarter three, staff and Age Concern organised workshops with potential applicants to promote the Lifelong Learning Fund, provide support with applications and ensure that the process was accessible. The selection panel met to review applications on 28 March. The grants will be issued by Age Concern in April.

·   Manurewa Marae received funding to deliver an increased number of initiatives including a combined hui collaborating with Mana Whenua to collate information about community organisations that are focusing on Maramataka, a Matariki event for kaumatua, rangatahi and pepe to capture inter-generational stories for the Manurewa community, and the creation of an educational community tool kit of local stories of the Manurewa community.

·   Staff completed a service review of Wiri local park and playspace provision and the findings workshopped in quarter one. The strategic assessment outlining the service requirements for an enhanced playspace at Wiri Stream Reserve has been forwarded to Panuku for implementation. This includes a focus on providing play opportunities for 2-14-year olds and other informal recreational needs for the community. Panuku will discuss the draft concept plan with the local board.

Activities with significant issues

14.     There are two activities identified with a significant issue:

·   David Nathan Park - renew park assets: Project on hold as consideration of the reserve management plan and conservation plan is required which may potentially change original scoping. This was reported as amber in the first quarter.

·   Maritime Recreational Fund: As at February 2019, this project has been moved to on hold for assessment of Weymouth boat ramp requirements and direction from the local board regarding maritime project priorities.

Activities on hold

15.     The following work programme activities have been identified by operating departments as on hold:

·   Localised placemaking - integrated ACE programme: All further activity on this work programme line is on hold pending further direction by the local board.

·   Build capacity: community organisations, networks and steering groups: This work programme line is currently on hold pending further direction from the local board.

·   Manurewa Association Football Club building - renew building exterior and roof: Project on hold as awaiting further instructions regarding local board advocacy.

·   Manurewa Community Centre development: Project is currently in strategic assessment phase awaiting the strategic report due between April and July 2019. Once report has been issued, progress project to planning and scoping.

·   Manurewa - renew signage FY17-18: Project has been placed on hold due to region wide initiative for Auckland signage to be bilingual.

·   Manurewa Coastal Walkway Network - develop walkways: The Maritime Recreational Fund is to be used for developed design and a firm order of costs for the Weymouth boat ramp. Council staff are preparing a consultation plan and will be engaging all associated parties to prepare a preferred scope of work.

·   Burundi Avenue Reserve - upgrade Puhinui inlet jetty. Resource consent application ready to be lodged. Awaiting local board decision on jetty width before lodging.

·   Manurewa AFC Building - refurbish facility: Project on hold as awaiting further instructions regarding local board advocacy.

·   Marketing/promotional strategy (ATEED): Conversations have not progressed over the quarter. If staff resources allow this will be picked up in quarter four.

·   Clendon Community House, 60 Maplesden Drive: Lease to Clendon Residents Group Incorporated. This lease project is on hold pending confirmation of the head lease with Housing New Zealand for the Clendon Community House and Ratavine Community House.

·   Ratavine Community House, 1 Rata Vine Drive, Manukau Central: Lease to RaWiri Residents Association Incorporated. This lease project is on hold pending confirmation of the head lease with Housing New Zealand for the Clendon Community House and Ratavine Community House.

·   War Memorial Park, 16R Gibbs Road, Manurewa - Lease to Manurewa Association Football Club Incorporated: Project on hold as awaiting further instructions regarding local board advocacy.

Changes to the local board work programme

Deferred activities

16.     These activities are deferred from the 2018/2019 work programme:

·   Keith Park, 20R Roys Road, Weymouth: Lease to Counties Manukau Rowing Club Incorporated: This matter is on hold while the group transitions to its new site. Staff continue to work with the group regarding the surrender of its occupancy and options for the group-owned building.

·   Keith Park - renew toilet and playspace: Land surveys of Keith Park are complete. Draft concept design for toilet and playground are underway. Next steps: Meeting onsite with local board members to discuss concept plan. Organise meeting with stakeholder group to discuss concept plan.

 

Cancelled activities

17.     There are no activities that have been cancelled.

Activities merged with other activities for delivery

18.     There are no activities that have been merged with other activities for efficient delivery.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

19.     When developing the work programmes council group impacts and views are presented to the boards.

20.     Staff have identified a process issue with line item 2198 in the Community Facilities 2018/2019 work programme. The proposed decision in recommendation b has no identified impacts on other parts of the council group. The views of council-controlled organisations were not required for the preparation of this report’s advice.

22.     Manurewa Marae have received funding from the local board to deliver an increased number of initiatives including a combined hui collaborating with Mana Whenua to collate information about community organisations that are focusing on Maramataka, a Matariki event for kaumatua, rangatahi and pepe to capture inter-generational stories for the Manurewa community, and the creation of an educational community tool kit of local stories of the Manurewa community.

23.     In quarter three Healthy Waters completed an options report identifying possible improvement opportunities for stormwater management and water sustainability at Manurewa Marae. Staff held a hui in late March 2019 with the Marae to discuss the improvement recommendations presented in the report. One of the recommended improvement options can be delivered in this financial year within the allocated budget and will be discussed with the board in quarter four. Other recommendations would need to be carried out in the 2019/2020 financial year and would be dependent upon the availability of funding from Manurewa Marae, the local board and Healthy Waters. Staff are scoping these recommendations and will include them as a project proposal in the draft 2019/2020 local environmental work programme.

24.     The Clendon Pride Bilingual Hikoi took place on 23 March. This one-day event has the aim of connecting the community together in a positive and healthy way whilst upholding Te Reo Maori throughout the day through weaving it into activations across a range of locations in Clendon. Clendon Library was a stop-off point for the hikoi which attracted a large number of whanāu in the community. Activities at the library included; Hanga Tohu (badge making), Titi torea (stick game) and Ko wai au? (Who am I?).

25.     Staff worked closely with Healthy Families (Alliance Community Initiatives Trust) to support a presentation on Te Kauae (Star Compass) held at Manurewa Marae and delivered by Piripi Smith – Te Kauae artist.

26.     The Te Kete Rukuruku programme is making progress but has experienced some time delays against the original plan. These are being managed and it expected the first tranche of names will be delivered in 2019. During the third quarter a new Te Kete Rukuruku project manager has been appointed. Work has focussed on managing overlapping interests and getting mana whenua access to GIS systems. The naming programme has generally been more elongated than hoped and it is currently forecast that there will be new names and a workshop before the end of the financial year but reporting and adoption of names will not occur until later in 2019.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

33.     While the risk of non-delivery of the entire work programme is rare, the likelihood for risk relating to individual activities does vary. Capital projects for instance, are susceptible to more risk as on-time and on-budget delivery is dependent on weather conditions, approvals (e.g. building consents) and is susceptible to market conditions.

34.     Information about any significant risks and how they are being managed and/or mitigated is addressed in the ‘Activities with significant issues’ section.

Next steps

35.     The local board will receive the next performance update for quarter four following the end of the financial year (June 2019).

Manurewa Local Board Governance Forward Work Calendar - May 2019

File No.: CP2019/06568

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To present to the Manurewa Local Board the three months Governance Forward Work Calendar.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

ii)   clarifying what advice is required and when

iii)   clarifying the rationale for reports.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

Horopaki

Context

5.       The council’s Quality Advice Programme aims to improve the focus, analysis, presentation and timeliness of staff advice to elected representatives. An initiative under this is to develop forward work calendars for Governing Body committees and local boards. These provide elected members with better visibility of the types of governance tasks they are being asked to undertake and when they are scheduled.

6.       There are no new projects in the Governance Forward Work Calendar. The calendar brings together in one schedule reporting on all of the board’s projects and activities that have been previously approved in the local board plan, long-term plan, departmental work programmes and through other board decisions. It includes Governing Body policies and initiatives that call for a local board response.

7.       This initiative is intended to support the board’s governance role. It will also help staff to support local boards, as an additional tool to manage workloads and track activities across council departments, and it will allow greater transparency for the public.

8.       The calendar is arranged in three columns, “Topic”, “Purpose” and “Governance Role”:

i)    Topic describes the items and may indicate how they fit in with broader processes such as the annual plan.

ii)   Purpose indicates the aim of the item, such as formally approving plans or projects, hearing submissions or receiving progress updates

iii)   Governance role is a higher-level categorisation of the work local boards do. Examples of the seven governance categories are tabled below:

Governance role

Examples

Setting direction / priorities / budget

Capex projects, work programmes, annual plan

Local initiatives / specific decisions

Grants, road names, alcohol bans

Input into regional decision-making

Comments on regional bylaws, policies, plans

Oversight and monitoring

Local board agreement, quarterly performance reports, review projects

Accountability to the public

Annual report

Engagement

Community hui, submissions processes

Keeping informed

Briefings, cluster workshops

 

9.       Board members are welcome to discuss changes to the calendar. The calendar will be updated and reported back every month to business meetings. Updates will also be distributed to relevant council staff.

 

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
