Context
3. This
report updates the Waitematā Local Board on Auckland Transport (AT)
projects and operations in the local board area, it updates the local board on
their advocacy and consultations and includes information on the status of the
Local Board Transport Capital Fund.
4. AT
is responsible for all of Auckland’s transport services, excluding state
highways. We report on a monthly basis to local boards, as set out in our Local
Board Engagement Plan. This monthly reporting commitment acknowledges the
important engagement role local boards play within the governance of Auckland
on behalf of their local communities.
5. The
Local Board Transport Capital Fund is a capital budget provided to all local
boards by Auckland Council and delivered by Auckland Transport. 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.
6. The
Community Safety Fund is a capital budget established by Auckland Transport for
use by local boards to fund local road safety initiatives. The purpose of this
fund is to allow elected members to address long-standing road safety issues
that are not regional priorities and are therefore being addressed by the
Auckland Transport programme.

The Wellesley
Street Bus Improvements Project Team has been gathering the latest data to
develop design options to create an optimal concept for the corridor, which
aligns with surrounding city centre plans and meets the needs of bus
customers. This work has included option development and assessment,
which is expected to continue into May 2019, along with the urban realm
framework development. Upon the completion of these workstreams, a new
concept design will be available and will be presented to the Waitematā

finish at Nelson St as there is an existing cycleway connection on Nelson St
and Auckland Council is considering future work on Hobson St. The
detailed design is progressing.

Local Board feedback on
Waitematā Safe Routes project
27. Auckland
Transport thanks the local board for their feedback on the Waitematā Safe
Routes project, as outlined below:
|
Waitematā Local Board
feedback: Waitematā Safe Routes
|
|
Auckland Transport is proposing
improvements in Grey Lynn and Westmere which involve creating protected
cycleways, new pedestrian crossings, bus stops, raised speed tables at
intersections to promote safety and changes to road markings.
These works are the continuation
and improvement of the works that were halted in February 2018 on Surrey
Crescent and Richmond Road.
Auckland Transport public consultation ran between 16 November and 14 December
2018. The Waitematā Local Board has been
briefed on Auckland Transport’s review of the feedback (approximately
1100 responses).
The following Local Board feedback has
been prepared by the transport portfolio holders on behalf of the board.
|
|
General
feedback
As outlined in
the Local Board Plan 2017, the Waitematā Local Board supports the
objectives of a transport network that is integrated and gives people options
for moving about with accessible, sustainable and reliable public transport;
and, safe, pleasant walking and cycling routes. Our pedestrian-friendly
streets are great public spaces. We support the key initiatives of delivering
the Auckland Cycle Network, a fit-for-purpose, safe and connected pedestrian
network, slow traffic zones and the integration of placemaking in all
transport projects.
The Board
supports Auckland Transport’s proposed improvements in Grey Lynn and Westmere
including creating protected cycleways, new pedestrian crossings, bus stop
improvements, raised speed tables at intersections to promote safety, and
increasing the numbers of street trees and improved landscaping. We would
like AT to bring a best practice standard and approach to the design stage,
and to ensure that the Waitematā Safe Routes projects (Routes 1 and 2)
add to the neighborhood amenity values, deliver healthy streets, and create
an attractive streetscape.
We are concerned
that the projects have taken a significant time to deliver since funding was
first made available in 2016 and that AT is now revisiting work that should
have been completed properly the first time around. Auckland Transport has
already acknowledged that the original work did not meet community
expectations. Successful delivery of the projects is an opportunity for AT to
restore community trust and confidence. We would like to see an end result
the whole community feels proud about.
We note the
significant amount of feedback and the strong support for the proposed
changes with a substantial majority of respondents supporting the need for
safe, separated cycleways and improved street design.
We note the
community and business concerns about further disruption, project cost and
safety (from both those who oppose and support the project).
We also note the
need to urgently rectify the compliance issues with the pedestrian crossing
outside Big Sur and storm water issues in the West Lynn Village.
|
|
Route 1
– Surrey Crescent, Old Mill Road and Garnet Road
The Local Board
supports:
- the
project objective to separate people on bikes from pedestrians and vehicles
to create a safer and more enjoyable journey for all.
- the inclusion of raised
tables across side streets (we note these are working extremely well for
pedestrians on Ponsonby Road and Franklin Road).
- the inclusion of new trees,
and improved landscaping.
The Local Board
does not support the design of the partly constructed cycleway on the
berm.
We request, as a
matter of urgency, that AT progresses the installation of the pedestrian
crossing on Surrey Crescent between Stanmore Street and Richmond Road serving
Grey Lynn School walking bus.
We request that
AT investigates options for traffic calming at the Richmond Road/Surrey
Crescent intersection and implement improvements so that it provides safe
crossing points for pedestrians and a safe right-hand turn for people on
bikes. Any option needs to be progressed with input from Grey Lynn Business
Association (GLBA).
The Local Board
would like AT to work closely with residents to finalise the design
particularly at the Mill Road intersection and Bullock Track intersection and
requests AT to take a proactive approach to communicating changes to parking:
for example, encouraging residents to park on road in allocated spaces rather
than across driveways.
We note the
reconstructed bus stops on Surrey Crescent (between Richmond Road and Great
North Road) are no longer served by a bus route. We request that AT
review the re-instatement of a Westmere-Grey Lynn shops route, via Surrey
Crescent, as part of the review of the central network.
|
|
Route 2
– Richmond Road
We note that
this project originated from the Richmond Road Safety Action Plan initiated
by the Local Board in 2013, that identified several safety issues raised by
the community, including the speed of traffic, illegal parking, and concerns
for pedestrian safety particularly at the Warnock
Street/Richmond Road and the Peel Street/Richmond Road intersections.
The Local Board
supports:
- the
project objectives to slow traffic, provide better pedestrian amenity, and
enhance the environment for locals and visitors to the West Lynn Village.
- proposals to improve safety
for all road users including lowering the speed limit through the Village
- cycleway separation and
inclusion of raised tables across side streets.
- inclusion of new trees and
improved landscaping.
The Local Board
doesn’t support shared paths as part of the design and wishes to see
separation of pedestrians and people on bikes.
We request that
AT investigate options for meeting project objectives with minimal disruption
through the West Lynn village.
We note the
concerns that have been raised about the accessibility of the pedestrian
crossing outside Big Sur (non-compliant ramp) and the storm water issues in
heavy rain. We request that these issues are addressed as a matter of
urgency:
|
|
Bus stop
locations
- The Local Board requests
that any decision on re-locating the city bound or west bound bus stops are
made on objective criteria including the overall operation of the network for
customers and best practice spacing between bus stops. We note a slight
preference in moving the westbound bus stop to outside Oranga Tamariki
(Option 5) but also note opposition to removing car parks as required for
Option 5
- The pros/cons of
re-location should be canvassed with the GLBA and impacted businesses
including the Grey Lynn Community Centre and Grey Lynn Farmers’ Market
with efforts made to reach a broad consensus on any relocation
|
|
Peel Street
roundabout
- The Local Board supports
further improvements to the pedestrian crossing points on the approach roads
|
|
Parking
- The Local Board notes the
concerns raised in the feedback about the removal of parking
- The Local Board requests AT
continues to improve parking management, enforcement and signage to encourage
short-term parking for visitors and to discourage commuter parking
|
|
Next steps
The Local Board
requests that:
- AT looks at options to open
those parts of the Richmond Road cycleway that have already been completed
- AT puts in place a budget
for a Development Response Package that is supported by the GLBA and
that any construction is timed to minimise disruption
- AT continues to improve
parking management and signage, and effectively communicates the parking
impact of the proposed works by, for example, making it clear that there has
not been a net loss of parking spaces in the West Lynn village as many have
assumed
- AT delivers the project
without further delay
|
28. Auckland Transport acknowledges the Boards requests and suggestions,
each will be considered as part of any subsequent design review.
Response to resolution
WTM/2019/49
29. In resolution

Remuneration Authority - policy on child
care allowances
File No.: CP2019/07666
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 Waitematā 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 child care.
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 child
care 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.

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.

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.

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.

Disposal recommendations report - 200
Victoria Street West, Auckland Central
File No.: CP2019/05185
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. This
report seeks endorsement from the Waitematā Local
Board for Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) to recommend to the Finance and
Performance Committee the disposal of the council owned property at 200
Victoria Street West, Auckland Central, in the Waitematā Local Board area.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. 200
Victoria Street West, Auckland Central, is an endowment property that was
vested in the council by the Crown in 1875 for the purpose of the improvement
and benefit of the City of Auckland.
3. The
council owns the land only. The property is subject to two ground leases,
granted in 1916, that are perpetually renewable at the lessee’s
option. The improvements, being a commercial building with retail and
office uses, are owned by the lessee. The property has not been used to
deliver a council service use since at least 1916. Accordingly, it was
identified as a property that could potentially be recommended to the council
for disposal.
4. Auckland Council, council-controlled organisations (CCOs) and Mana
Whenua iwi authorities have been consulted regarding a proposed disposal of the
property. Noting that any alternative use or development potential
is constrained by the ground leases, no current or future
council service use has been identified through the consultation and the feedback received has been generally supportive of disposal. As such, Panuku recommends the property be divested.
5. As
sale of the property was not expressly prohibited on vesting, the property can
be sold under section 140(4)(b) of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA 2002),
subject to conditions set out in section 141 of the LGA 2002:
· the
proceeds of sale must be used for a purpose consistent with the purpose of the
endowment; and
· the
council must notify the Minister for Land Information and the Minister in
Charge of Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations of the proposal to sell the land.
6. Should
disposal of the property be approved, any specific proposal for use of the sale
proceeds should be assessed in detail to ensure it is consistent with the purpose
of the endowment.
|
Ngā tūtohunga
Recommendation/s
That the Waitematā Local
Board:
a) endorses
the recommendation of Panuku Development Auckland to the
Finance and Performance Committee to dispose of 200 Victoria Street West, Auckland Central.
|
Horopaki
Context
7. Panuku
is required to undertake ongoing review of council’s property assets.
This includes identifying properties from within council’s portfolio that
are no longer required for public work purposes and may be suitable for sale
and development if appropriate. Panuku has a particular focus on achieving
housing and urban regeneration outcomes.
8. Identifying
potential sale properties contributes to the 10-year budget (long term plan)
2018-2028 and the Auckland Plan focus of accommodating the significant growth
projected for the region over the coming decades, by providing council with an
efficient use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities
and projects.
9. Once
a property has been identified as potentially no longer required for public
work purposes, Panuku engages with council departments and its CCOs through an
expression of interest process to establish whether the property must be
retained for a strategic purpose or is required for a future funded public
work.
10. Once
a property has been internally cleared of any public work requirements, Panuku
then consults with local boards, Mana Whenua and ward councillors. All
sale recommendations must be approved by the Panuku Board before a final
recommendation is made to the Finance and Performance Committee. The
Finance and Performance Committee makes the final decision to approve a
property for disposal.

Analysis and advice
Property information
11. 200 Victoria
Street West is a prominent 1235m2 corner site situated at the
junction of Victoria Street West and Wellesley Street West, opposite Victoria
Park in central Auckland. A map and images showing the site is included
at Attachment A.
12. The property
was vested in the council by the Crown in 1875 pursuant to the Auckland City
Endowments and Reserves Act 1875 (the ‘1875 Act’) for the
improvement and benefit of the City of Auckland. Because sale of the
property is not expressly prohibited by the ‘1875 Act’, the
property can be sold under section 140(4)(b) of the LGA 2002, subject to
conditions set out in section 141 of the LGA 2002:
· The
proceeds of sale must be used for a purpose consistent with the purpose of the
endowment; and
· The
council must notify the Minister for Land Information and the Minister in
Charge of Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations of the proposal to sell the land.
13. The property
is subject to two perpetually renewable 21-year ground leases that were
established under the Auckland City Parks Improvement and Empowering Act 1916,
which authorised the council to grant leases of subject land to lessees
displaced by the creation of Victoria Park. Both leases are to the same
lessee and have been renewed continuously since establishment. A
four-level commercial building covers the entire site and is owned by the
lessee. Any alternative use or development potential is constrained by
the ground leases.
14. The property
is non-service and is managed by Panuku.
15. The Auckland
Unitary Plan zone is Business – City Centre. It has a council
rating valuation of $27,000,000 capital value, comprising $8,800,000 land value
and $18,200,000 improvement value. Council owns the land only.

Council group impacts and views
Internal Consultation
16. The internal
consultation and expressions of interest process for the property concluded in
March 2019.
17. The Healthy
Waters team advised that a stormwater pipe under the property had previously
burst but was repaired and has been monitored without issue for 10 years.
A recent CCTV inspection confirmed it has no visible issues to date.
Healthy Waters supported disposal of the property, but requested a risk be
noted on the title. Staff are seeking legal advice on an appropriate
mechanism to record this risk.
18. Auckland
Transport (AT) initially requested the property be retained to reduce the risk
of consenting conflicts for the future Wellesley Street Bus Improvements
Project, while noting that the site itself is not required for the
project. However, Panuku staff consider that this potential risk can be
managed through conditions on any sale and that the property does not need to
be retained for this purpose.
19. The Built
Heritage team advised there are no known built heritage interests at the
site. The Cultural Heritage team noted that the site is located on the
interface between the original shoreline and the 1886 reclamation. Any
subsurface remains of previous structures were likely destroyed during
construction of the current building in the 1980s.
20. The Plans and
Places team indicated there are no major policy planning issues that directly
affect the property and recommended that any future development take into
consideration the long term moves in the City Centre Masterplan.
21. The
Engineering and Technical Services team noted that although the site is not
marked as a contaminated site or closed landfill, it is in near proximity to
historical gas works and is surrounded by a significant number of contaminated
sites. Potential for contaminants on the site cannot be discounted and a
full environmental investigation was recommended as part of due diligence prior
to rationalisation.
22. Watercare
confirmed it has no ongoing interest in the site, but requested that any
purchaser be advised of the main sewer line that runs beneath the property and
the requirement to obtain works over approval prior to any future construction.
23. No
alternative planned or funded public work requirement for 200 Victoria Street
West was identified through the internal consultation process. Accordingly, the
property is now recommended for disposal.

Local impacts and local board views
24. 200 Victoria
Street West is not specifically mentioned in the Waitematā
Local Board Plan.
25. Panuku
attended a workshop with the Waitematā Local Board
in April 2019. The local board provided informal feedback that it is
generally supportive of the proposed disposal of 200 Victoria Street West and
requested further advice on the use of proceeds from the sale of endowment
property.
26. General
advice from the council legal services team is that, to comply with section 140
and section 141 of the LGA 2002, proceeds from the sale of this property
should:
· be
used for the improvement and benefit of the City of Auckland, being the
geographical area as defined in the Municipal Corporations Act 1867, which
includes the current Central Business District, Grafton and Freeman’s Bay
areas;
· be
used for something that contributes in a positive manger to the social,
economic, environmental or cultural wellbeing of the community in the present
and for the future;
· be
used on something that is enduring or permanent;
· be
used on something that benefits the community generally (not just a specific
group);
· take
into account the long-term planning goals for the relevant area.
27. Advice also
noted that any specific proposal for use of the sale proceeds should be
assessed in detail to ensure it meets the requirements set out in section 141
of the LGA 2002.
28. This report
gives the board the opportunity to formalise its views regarding the proposed
disposal of this property.
Tauākī whakaaweawe

Māori impact statement
29. The site itself is not subject to Auckland Unitary Plan Mana Whenua
management overlays but is adjacent to land that is subject to sites and places
of significance to Mana Whenua management overlay.
The site is not a known cultural heritage inventory
site but is opposite Maori Heritage site CHI 12696.
30. As the property is an endowment property, any
sale must be in accordance with sections 140 and 141 of the Local LGA 2002,
including a requirement that the council notify the Minister in Charge of
Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations of the proposal to sell the land.

Financial implications
32. Capital
receipts from the sale of properties contribute to Auckland Plan outcomes and
the 10-year budget (Long-term Plan) by providing the council with an efficient
use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities and
projects. In the 2018/2019 financial year, the 10-year
budget (Long-term Plan) has forecast the disposal of
non-strategic assets to the value of of $24 million.
33. As the
subject property is an endowment property, the proceeds of sale must be used
for the improvement and benefit of the City of Auckland (as it
was defined in 1875) in line with the purpose of the endowment. Any
specific proposal for use of the sale proceeds should be assessed in detail to
ensure it meets the requirements for the sale of endowment property as set out
in section 141 of the LGA 2002.
34. In accordance
with the LGA 2002, the Panuku Statement of Intent (SOI) sets out the activities
and intentions of Panuku, the objectives those activities will contribute to
and performance measures and targets as the basis of organisational
accountability. For the 2018/2019 financial year Panuku is required to
recommend to the council’s Finance and Performance Committee properties
from within the council’s portfolio that may be suitable for sale to a
combined value of $30 million by 30 June 2019. The recommendation of this
property to the Finance and Performance Committee will contribute to this SOI
target.
35. Another financial consideration for the proposed disposal of the
subject property is the loss of the rental income stream from the ground
leases. However, council policy is that although market rental is sought
from assets that are held for a future council service use or strategic purpose
to reduce holding costs, assets that have no identified future service use or
strategic purpose are considered for disposal to contribute to Auckland Plan
outcomes.

Risks and mitigations
36. The Healthy
Waters team noted a risk around a previously burst stormwater pipe under the
property and requested the risk be noted on the title. Staff are seeking
legal advice on an appropriate mechanism to record this risk.
37. AT identified
a potential consenting risk for the future Wellesley Street Bus Improvements
Project should a subsequent owner of the subject property object to project
works through the consenting process. This potential risk will be managed
through conditions on any sale.
The Engineering and Technical Services team advised there is
a potential risk of site contamination. A full environmental
investigation will be undertaken as part of due diligence prior to
rationalisation.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
38. Following
receipt of the Waitematā Local Board’s resolution
and subject to Panuku Board approval, 200 Victoria Street West
will be recommended to the Finance and Performance Committee for
disposal. The local board’s resolution will be
included in the report to the Finance and Performance Committee.

City Fringe Business Associations Web
App Development
File No.: CP2019/08022
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To approve grant funding to the Newmarket Business Association for
the development of a “web app” to be used and maintained by the
City Fringe Business Associations.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. This
report introduces a proposal from the City Fringe Business Associations to
develop a web app that can be used as a template by each business association
to promote their respective areas utilising their own branding. The proposal is
set out in attachments A and B to this report.
3. The Waitematā
Local Board local economic development work programme allocates funds towards
the implementation of actions identified in the Auckland’s City
Fringe Economic Development Action Plan (2017) with a budget of $20,000 a
further $37,773 is available as this was deferred from the previous financial
year.
4. To
help identify the areas of focus following the adoption of the City Fringe
Economic Development Action Plan a workshop was held with the Business
Associations on the 14 June 2018.
5. This
workshop resulted in the identification of opportunities where the local board
could support the City Fringe business association community through the City
Fringe Economic Development Action Plan to create a better environment for
their members. One of the opportunities was for the local board to collaborate
with the City Fringe business association community on developing a collective
identity for the City Fringe that promotes the uniqueness of the different hubs
within it.
6. The
local board approved funding towards the development of an identity project for
the City Fringe in February 2019 (resolution WTM/2019/9). However, following
the resolution the business associations have proposed an alternative approach
and are seeking grant funding to develop a web app rather than a collective
identity.
7. A
web app is a technology solution that has the same look and feel as a
downloadable mobile app and works the same way but is hosted on a web
domain. The web app has previously been referred to as a “white
label app”.
8. The
local board is being asked to approve grant funding of $57,773 to the Newmarket
Business Association for the development of the mobile app as an alternative to
the collective identity project.

Recommendation/s
That the Waitematā Local
Board:
a) agree
to revoke resolution WTM/2019/9 in full as adopted at its meeting on 19
February 2019
b) approve the scope for the development of a web app as set out in
this report and in attachments A and B to this report
c) approve grant funding of $57,773 from the Implementation of the
City Fringe Local Economic Development Action Plan to the Newmarket business
association for the development of a web app as set out in attachments A and
B to this report
d) request
that any Funding Agreement entered into requires the Newmarket Business
Association to set out the timeframe for the project and requires the
business association to set out the regular dates on which it will update the
Waitematā Local Board on the progress of the development of the web app.
|
Horopaki
Context
9. The
Waitematā Local Board’s Auckland’s City Fringe Economic
Development Action Plan 2017 (Action Plan). provides a framework to guide local
economic development actions for 3-5 years. The Action Plan:
· facilitates effective engagement between deliverers of economic
development initiatives in the City Fringe area
· provides a key mechanism for the Waitematā Local Board to
communicate with city fringe businesses and to advocate for maintaining
communications and connections between the city fringe and the CBD.
· identifies a set of actions and initiatives for inclusion within the
Local Board Plan and future local board agreements.
10. The local
board has allocated $20,000 in the current financial year to assist in the
implementation of the Action Plan and a further $37,773 was deferred from the
previous financial year.
11. A workshop
was held with the Business Associations to help identify the two key areas of
focus for delivery in the current financial year on the 14 June 2018. This
workshop resulted in two clear opportunities where the Local Board could
support the City Fringe business association community through the City Fringe
Economic Development Action Plan to create a better environment for their
members. These were:
· Support the City Fringe business association community in advocating
for an improved relationship with Auckland Transport
· Collaborate with the City Fringe business association community on
developing a collective identity for the City Fringe that promotes the
uniqueness of the different hubs within it.
12. At its
February business meeting the Waitematā Local Board resolved to allocate
the majority of its FY19 Local Economic Development Budget as follows:
Resolution
number WTM/2019/9 That the Waitematā Local Board:
a) approve
the scope of the City Fringe Identity project and proposed approach to delivery
as set out in the report and in attachment A
b)
approve the allocation of $57,773 from the Implementation of the
City Fringe Local Economic Development Action Plan budget to the City Fringe
Identity Project.
13. The original
proposal was intended to be a two-stage process, with Stage Two only commencing
subject to the outcomes of Stage One.
14. The scope of
the City Fringe Identity Project was endorsed by all relevant business
associations and is an initiative in the 2017 City Fringe Economic Development
Action Plan. Development of this city fringe identity was identified as a
priority during the Action Plan launch workshop in June 2018.
15. After the
resolution ATEED notified the business associations regarding the funding
allocation. ATEED was then notified by the business associations that they did
not wish to go ahead with the project as proposed but preferred to commence an
alternative project developing a web app that each of the business associations
can make their own with content and branding. Fundamentally the proposal for a
city fringe identity was no longer supported.
16. This report
introduces a proposal from the City Fringe business associations to develop a
web app that can be used as a template by each business association to promote
their respective areas utilizing their own branding. The proposal is set out in
attachments A and B to this report.
17. A web app is
a technology solution that will look and work the same way that a downloadable
mobile app would but is hosted on a web (internet) domain. The business
associations propose that it will be used to assist visitors to better
understand about the offerings of each of the City Fringe areas. The app will
provide access to information and services including community events, art
walks, parks and recreational areas, parking/ transport, shopping/ dining maps,
cultural events/ festivals, contact details.
Tātaritanga me ngā
tohutohu
Analysis and advice
18. Given the
project proposed by the business associations varies from the original proposal
which was allocated funding by the local board, the views of the local board
were sought at its workshop on the 26 March 2019 to confirm how the local board
wished to progress the local economic development programme.
19. At the
workshop the local board asked staff to seek a proposal from the business
associations that addressed the following questions:
· What the White App proposal is and how it will be used
· What the reason for the idea is and how the approach can be
validated by examples elsewhere,
· How the proposed initiative would support the delivery of the City
Fringe Action Plan. It would be useful to align the proposal to a particular
action point or points,
· What the ongoing support for the app will be, who will manage it and
the content going forward including any future costs
· Who the target market of the app is
· What the benefits will be to the Local Board area
· The full budget required for delivery of the App, including a
breakdown of the tasks required and any match funding that would be provided by
the Business Associations i.e. $x from each BID or BA
· Confirmation of which BIDs and BA’s are supportive of the
initiative and will participate
· The identification of a Lead Business Association who would manage
the initiative and receive any funding in the event that the Local Board agrees
to fund it
· The time frame for delivery including reporting back to the Local
Board on progress and use of the funds.
20. The response
to the local board’s questions is set out in Attachment A to this report,
along with a quote from Flight Digital (Attachment B).
21. In regard to
the budget the business associations have confirmed that they wish the local
board to cover the full costs of developing the web app.
22. The proposal
from Flight Digital estimates that costs to develop the web app could be
between $47,550 to $68,025.
23. It is
recommended that in recognition of the fact the business associations do not
wish to support the development of a collective identity that the board rescind
the current allocation of funds and grant the funds to the Newmarket Business
Association to lead the development of a web app as set out in Attachment A to
this report.
24. This will
enable the business associations to collectively work together to develop a
promotional tool that they can use to promote their respective areas in
addition to the websites that they currently have.
25. It is also
recommended that in order to monitor the progress of the project and ensure
that the local board has oversight of the use of funds that the Funding
Agreement requires the Newmarket Business Association to set out the timetable
for the delivery of the project, with target dates to report progress back to
the local board at key stages during the project.

Risks and mitigations
30. The project
is dependent on the business associations managing and delivering the project.
There is a risk that the project does not utilise the full funds allocated
resulting in a requirement to return funds to the local board.
31. In addition,
there is also a risk that the project exceeds the grant funds provided by the
local board resulting in a budget shortfall that would need to be met by the
business associations.

32. Following
approval by the local board the Local Economic Development team at ATEED will
draft a Funding Agreement and once signed will issue the grant funding.

Business Improvement District Programme
Compliance Report to Waitematā Local Board for FY 2017-2018
File No.: CP2019/06953
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek the Waitematā Local Board’s recommendation to the Governing Body to strike
the BID (Business Improvement District) targeted rates for the Heart of the
City, Karangahape Road, Newmarket, Ponsonby, Parnell, and Uptown 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 Heart of the City, Karangahape Road,
Newmarket, Ponsonby, and Parnell business associations are in compliance with the
BID policy. Uptown Business Association is not in compliance as they have
not yet met with the Waitematā Local Board this financial year as required
by 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 the local board should recommend to the
Governing Body to strike the targeted rates sought by the Heart of the City,
Karangahape Road, Newmarket, Ponsonby, and Parnell business associations as
they have substantially complied with the policy. Despite Uptown Business
Association not being in full compliance, it is recommended that targeted rates
be struck for this business association based on a history of good performance.

Recommendation/s
That the Waitematā Local
Board:
a) recommend 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:
· $4,782,614
for the Heart of the City Business Association
· $435,438 for the Karangahape Road Business Association
· $1,691,613 for the Newmarket Business Association
· $518,744 for the Ponsonby Business Association
· $855,000 for the Parnell Business Association
· $296,500 for the Uptown 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. Refer to Attachment B for 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 (2016). 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 (2016) requires each business association to ratify the BID grant
amount/targeted rate and budget for the following financial year. The Heart of the City, Karangahape Road, Newmarket, Ponsonby,
Parnell, and Uptown business associations presented for members’
approval, their 2019/2020 BID grant amount/targeted rates and budgets at their
2018 AGM.
17. The
approval at the AGM by way of a resolution accepting the 2019/2020 BID grant
amount/targeted rate enables the Waitematā Local Board to recommend to the
Governing Body the striking of BID targeted rates for 2019/2020.
18. The
Heart of the City, Karangahape Road, Newmarket, Ponsonby, and Parnell business
associations comply with the BID Policy and, therefore, it is recommended that
the Waitematā Local Board
recommends to the Governing Body the striking of the targeted rates for these
business associations. Despite Uptown Business Association not being in
full compliance, having not yet met with the local board this financial year,
it is recommended that targeted rates be struck for this business association
based on a history of good performance.
19. The recommendation of this report is supported by evidence of
compliance with the BID Policy by these business associations. Refer to
Attachments C through H for details.
Ngā whakaaweawe me
ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
20. 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
21. Recommending
that the Governing Body strikes the targeted rates for Heart
of the City, Karangahape Road, Newmarket, Ponsonby, Parnell, and Uptown
business associations means that these BID programmes will continue to
be funded from targeted rates on commercial properties in their district and
provide services in accordance with their members’ priorities as stated
in their strategic plan, and support business growth.
22. Staff does
not comment on the effectiveness of individual BID programmes as that is a
matter for the members to assess.
23. The
Waitematā Local Board approved a similar recommendation for these BID
programmes last year (resolution number WTM/2018/51) as did the 17 other local
boards that have BID programmes operating in their areas.
24. 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 impact statement
25. BIDs work for
the benefits of all members, including Māori businesses.
Ngā ritenga
ā-pūtea
Financial implications
26. 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
27. There are
reputational risks to the council if ratepayer funds are misused, but this is
rare. Otherwise, there are no direct financial risks to the council that
could result from this recommendation to approve the BID targeted rates.
28. 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
29. 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.

Purpose of the report
1. To
adopt key moves to inform the development of the Waitematā Local Board
Open Space Network Plan.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. Agreement
on the key moves will inform the development of a Waitematā open space
network plan.
3. Staff
recommend adoption of four key moves that focus on improving the quality of,
and access to, open space in Waitematā.
4. The
network plan will assist decision-making and provide a framework for the
development of open space over the next 10-years.
5. There
is no additional funding to implement projects in the network plan beyond
renewal of existing assets and planned capital expenditure. However, the local
board can advocate for more funding as part of the Annual Plan and Long-term
Plan processes.
6. The scope of the open space network plan includes all open space
that is controlled and managed by the local board, including parks, sports
fields, greenways and outdoor civic areas
7. The key moves will
inform the prioritisation of actions to be included in the final open space
network plan. A workshop is scheduled with the local board on 11 June 2019.

Horopaki
Context
The local board agreed to
develop a plan to guide decision-making and expenditure across its parks and
open space network
8. The
Waitematā Local Board, at its meeting of 18 September 2018, approved the
scope of work for the development of an open space network plan [WTM/2018/137 refers].
9. A
network plan provides a resource to guide local board decision-making and
expenditure across the park network as the area grows and changes. It sets out
key moves for the development of open space over the next 10-years.
10. The scope of
work includes:
· identifying
and analysing the current performance of the open space network incorporating,
amongst other things, the work of existing local park development plans
· identifying
the aspirations and key moves required to improve performance of the open space
network
· identifying
and prioritising local place-based actions to achieve the key moves.
11. The network
plan is strategically aligned to three Auckland Plan focus areas:
Belonging and

12. An open space
network plan is a key mechanism for Auckland Council to implement the Parks and
Open Spaces Strategic Action Plan 2013 at a local level.
Waitematā is experiencing considerable
growth which will increase use of open space
13. Staff have
researched growth projections, demographic data, current provision levels and
the state of open space in the Waitematā area with guidance from the local
board.
14. The main
findings were:
· Waitematā
has the highest population density in Auckland and
this is projected to double in some areas by 2043
· by 2043 the population is forecast to have increased by
more than 50 per cent with the highest growth coming from Asian ethnic groups
· the European population is expected to increase by 37 per
cent while Māori and Pacifica populations will remain relatively
static
· the age profile of the board area will rise in the 40 to 64
years of age cohort
· currently, the percentage of those under 15 years of age is
approximately half the Auckland average
· population growth will increase the numbers of families and
young people living in the city
· Waitematā
is a destination for all Aucklanders and tourists
· open
spaces are popular and well-used but the capacity to grow these spaces is
limited
· use is changing and intensifying due to shifting
demographics, preferences for more informal recreation and apartment living
· the ‘greening’ of people’s attitudes
means cycling and walking options are essential
· the Unitary Plan will allow more intensive residential and
business development in parts of the local board, including Arch Hill, Surrey
Crescent, Newton, Eden Terrace and Parnell.
· the
refresh of the City Centre Master Plan and the Waterfront Development Plan will
pedestrianise and change the face of the city centre, attracting even more
people.
Waitematā has generally good levels of open space
provision
15. There are 102
parks and open spaces in the local board area. Mitigating over-use while still
meeting the needs of the local community is critical to preserving the future
of these valuable land resources.
16. A total of 19
neighbourhood parks provide basic informal recreation and social opportunities
within a short walk of people’s homes. These parks are
generally within a 400 to 600 metre walk of residents’ homes
depending on the density of housing.
17. There are
gaps in neighbourhood park provision in Arch Hill, Ponsonby West and Parnell
West.
18. Improved
connectivity between parks encourages use and expands the reach of the network
to reduce gaps. This can be achieved through new and/or enhanced entry points
and signage.
19. A total of
eight suburb parks provide a variety of informal recreation and social
experiences and some accommodate organised sport facilities such as sports
fields. Suburb parks are generally provided within a 1000 to 1500 metre walk of
residents’ homes.
20. Waitematā
has a shortfall in sports field capacity. Demand is expected to increase in
line with population growth but there is limited suitable land to increase
capacity.
21. Seven of Waitematā’s
102 parks are classified as ‘destination parks.’ These are:
|
· Albert
Park
· Auckland
Domain
· Dove
Meyer Robinson Park
· Myers
Park
|
· Victoria
Park Te Koranga
· Western
Park Tuna Mau
· Western
Springs Lakeside Te Wai Ōrea
|
22. Destination
parks provide for large numbers of visitors who often visit for an extended
period. They are typically more than 30 hectares and accommodate specialised
facilities and have significant or unique attributes.
23. The proposed
headland park in Wynyard Quarter is expected to become the eighth destination
park in the board area.
24. Other new
open spaces such as 254 Ponsonby Road and the space in Wynyard Quarter are
scheduled to become part of the network within the lifetime of this plan. These
have been considered within the scope of this plan.
25. There are 18
pocket parks within the board area. Many have limited functionality and may be
suitable for optimisation.
26. A significant
number of parks have development plans in place with robust renewals and
upgrades built in to future planning cycles. Opportunities for new kinds of
activation are also featured in these plans.
27. Fourteen
parks have reserve management plans including Victoria Park which, although not
a reserve, is unique and deemed as requiring this consideration to preserve its
status. These should be reviewed to ensure they are current and fulfilling
legislative requirements.
28. In
2018, the Parks and Recreation Policy Unit commissioned research to understand
how the people in the Waitematā Local Board area use and regard their
local parks.
29. The
research showed an 89 per cent satisfaction rate with the current network.[3] Eighty-eight per cent of respondents described parks as central to
their recreational mix.

30. Key moves
inform the development of options in the network plan.
31. Staff
engaged with the local board at four workshops to formulate the key moves. The local board’s foci were:
· to ensure the key moves address the impact of population growth
· to support mana whenua recommendations
· to improve network use and connectivity as a means of maximising
capacity for growth.
32. Staff also
engaged with mana whenua at four hui. The key issues raised were:
· prioritise
conservation and ecological outcomes for open space management
· reinstate
native plantings, for example, manuka on creek banks to stop nitrates getting
into waterways
· stop
spraying with glyphosates
· improve
storm water management
· recognise
that what happens on the land affects the water
· create
a cultural narrative which is more than just signage and wayfinding
· develop
natural and cultural features for play as well as structures.
33. Staff
recommend four key moves based on the current state analysis and our
discussions with the local board and mana whenua (see Figure 1 below). The
proposed key moves are:
· respond
to the growth of our increasingly diverse communities
· activate
and enhance our parks and open spaces
· improve
biodiversity and ecological outcomes
· enhance
walking, cycling and green corridors to connect our communities.

Risks and mitigations
39. The lack of
funding to implement the plan could create a reputational risk. However, the
local board can use the network plan to advocate for increased funding as part
of the Annual Plan and Long-term Plan processes.

Next steps
40. The key moves
will inform the prioritisation of actions to be included in the final open
space network plan. A workshop is scheduled with the local board on 11 June
2019.
41. A draft
network plan will be presented to the local board mid- 2019 for adoption.

Waitematā Arts and Creative
Industries Needs Analysis and Stocktake of Community Space 2018
File No.: CP2019/06930
Te take mō te

Purpose of the report
1. To
receive the Waitematā Arts and Creative Industries
Needs Analysis and Stocktake of Community Space 2018 (the stocktake)
(Attachment A).
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. As
part of the 2017/2018 ACE work programme the local board allocated $20,000 LDI
towards an arts and creative industries needs analysis and stocktake of
community space to help respond to the above inquiry.
3. The needs analysis and stocktake sought to identify what service
needs were unfulfilled within the sector, if there were barriers to accessing
community space for the sector, and if there was sufficient space available to
meet requirements now and into the future.
4. The
stocktake identified that there are sufficient various-use
spaces in the local board area for the different kinds
of arts and creative industry practice.
5. Interview
respondents from the arts and creative industries highlighted the need
for greater visibility of, and access to, council and
non-council spaces. The Stocktake makes the following recommendations
to:
· create an art spaces
coordinator based at Studio One Toi Tū to
centralise information on available spaces, provide support for artists and
landlords to broker the use of vacant space and assist artists and creatives to
connect with collectives.
· provide strategic
support to industry/artist-led initiatives that network and nurture the arts
and creative community, currently delivered by groups such as Monster Valley.
6. Based on the findings of the stocktake, staff recommend that the
local board consider establishing an art spaces coordinator role.

7. The
Community Facilities Network Plan (CFNP) identifies priority and non-priority actions assessed and
prioritised based on the existing network and capacity to cater for forecast
population growth. 3 Ponsonby Road is identified as a non-priority action
within the CFNP.
8. The local board allocated $20,000 LDI in the
2017/2018 ACE work programme towards an arts and creative industries
needs analysis and stocktake of community space available to the arts and
creative industry sector.
9. The
needs analysis and stocktake sought to identify the following:
· What service needs were unfulfilled within the sector.
· If there were barriers to accessing space.
· If there was sufficient space available to meet
requirements now and into the future.
10. The scope for the investigation (Attachment B) was presented to the
local board at a workshop in June 2018.
11. The stocktake was contracted to Point
Research in June 2018 and the work, assisted with staff across council, took
place between June and December 2018.
12. The scope was built around a three-part investigation:
· Identify community needs in relation to the arts and creative
industries (the sector) in the Waitematā Local
Board area.
· Identify current community space in relation to the sector,
identify any barriers to accessing available space, and recommend how to
address them.
· If
a lack of available space was identified, consider options for the future use
of 3 Ponsonby Road.
13. Point
Research analysed legislation including the Local Government Act, Arts and
Culture and Community Facilities frameworks, statistics and population
projections in relation to council’s provision for the arts and creative
industries sector in the local board area.
14. They then
interviewed and surveyed sector practitioners and creative industry leaders,
compiled a stocktake of available council and non–council spaces and took
a snapshot of creative industry organisations in Karangahape Road and Ponsonby
Road.
15. The draft stocktake was presented to the local board at a workshop
on 12 February 2019.

Analysis and advice
16. The stocktake provides a robust analysis of the sector and provides a document for the local board to use when making
decisions around how to support the arts and creative sector in the central
city now and into the future.
17. The stocktake
identified the following findings:
· Seventy
council and non-council community spaces available in the local board area.
· Vacant,
transitional available spaces that landlords are interested in offering.
· That Studio One Toi Tū visual arts residency programme has
increased its offerings in the past four years and there is further opportunity
to build capacity through programmes delivered within the Studio One Toi
Tū building.
· There
are 149 creative industry organisations in Karangahape Road and Ponsonby Road,
a number of which offer programmes for emergent practitioners.
· Sufficient spaces available for the different kinds of sector needs
in the local board area and found that there are no gaps in the provision of
space.
18. The stocktake
identified that there is a need for:
· greater visibility of, and access to, council and non-council spaces
· wider
provision in the kinds of spaces needed for use
· greater ability to access vacant space including to assist landlords
to broker vacant space with potential users
· greater knowledge on how emergent practitioners can connect with collectives and creative industry business spaces,
including exhibition and event spaces, content-creation and collaboration
spaces
· access to industry businesses that offer mentorship programmes
which, are part of business practice established on goodwill.
19. The stocktake found that there are no gaps in provision and there
are sufficient various-use spaces if private provisions, such as halls, and
creative business spaces, such as gallery and mixed-use spaces, can be
leveraged.
20. Barriers to accessing available spaces include affordability and
lack of knowledge.
21. The
Stocktake makes the following recommendations to:
· create an art spaces
coordinator based at Studio One Toi Tū to
centralise information on available spaces, provide support for artists and
landlords to broker the use of vacant space and assist artists and creatives to
connect with collectives.
· provide strategic
support to industry/artist-led initiatives that network and nurture the arts
and creative community, currently delivered by groups such as Monster Valley.
22. Based
on the findings of the stocktake, staff recommend that the local board consider
including the following in their 2019/2020 work programme:
· Establish an art
spaces coordinator contract to provide support for artists and to assist
individuals and industry leaders to connect practitioners’ need to space,
to collectives, and to enable capacity within the sector.
· Explore the kinds of
support that would benefit creative industry businesses to sustain their
emergent practitioner programmes.

6. The
local board allocates grants to groups and organisations delivering projects,
activities and services that benefit Aucklanders and contribute to the vision
of being a world class city.
7. The
Auckland Council Community Grants Policy supports each local board to adopt a
grants programme.
8. The
local board grants programme sets out:
· local board priorities
· lower priorities for
funding
· exclusions
· grant types, the
number of grant rounds and when these will open and close
· any additional
accountability requirements.
9. The
Waitematā Local Board adopted their grants programme for 2018/2019 on 17
April 2018 and will operate one accommodation grant round for this financial
year.
10. The
community grant programmes have been extensively advertised through the council
grants webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters, Facebook
pages, council publications, radio, and community networks.

Analysis and advice
11. 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
12. 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.
13. The grants
programme has no identified impacts on council-controlled organisations and
therefore their views are not required.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe

Local impacts and local board views
14. Local
boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board
community grants. The Waitematā Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or deadline these grant
applications against the local board priorities identified in the local board
grant programme.
15. The
local board is requested to note that section 50 of the Community Grants Policy
states “We will also provide feedback to unsuccessful grant applicants
about why they have been declined, so they will know what they can do to
increase their chances of success next time.”
16. A
summary of each application received through the Waitematā Accommodation
Support Fund (see Attachment B) are provided.
Tauākī whakaaweawe
Māori
Māori impact statement
17. The
local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s
commitment to improving Maori wellbeing by providing grants to individuals and
groups who deliver positive outcomes for Maori. Auckland Council’s Maori
Responsiveness Unit has provided input and support towards the development of
the community grant processes. Four organisations applying in this round have

6. 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). This is set out in
Attachment A to this report.
7. There
are no activities reported with a status of red (behind delivery, significant
risk) for this quarter.
8. The
financial performance report compared to budget 2018/2019 is set out in
Attachment B. There are some points for the local board to note.
9. Overall,
the net operational financial performance of the local board is tracking close
to the revised year to date budget (101 per cent). Revenue is slightly
unfavourable to budget for the year to date and is likely to be on target for
the full financial year. From the local board’s Locally Driven
Initiatives (LDI) funding, the majority of projects are underway and on track
to be completed during the year. Capital projects underway or completed
include the Parnell Pools comprehensive upgrade, Western Park boardwalk and
paving renewals, Albert Park Cottage renewals, and changing room and toilet
development at Grey Lynn Park.

13. 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.
14. 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),
activities that have significant issues (red) and activities that have been
cancelled, deferred or merged (grey).

Key activity updates from quarter three
16. Updates for
the following key activities for quarter three are as follows:
· 2867
(OLI) Ponsonby Park - develop civic park space
The project is on track and a resolution from Environment
and Community Committee on 4 December 2018 has confirmed the whole land parcel
at 254 Ponsonby Road can be developed as civic space. The project is now
proceeding to a detailed business case, investigation and design.
· 2042
Myers Park Caretakers Cottage and shed - renew and restore
A contract has been awarded to carry
out preliminary health and safety works to ensure the building is safe to
access to carry out various assessments. These works do not form part of the
main renewal / restoration of the project. The preliminary health and
safety works will be followed by detailed assessments around seismic issues,
asbestos, heritage and structural integrity. These assessments will provide
greater insight into the practicality of restoring the cottage to its original
state and the findings to be presented to the local board.
· 2043
Parnell Baths - comprehensive renewal
Physical works, including new plant and concourse, are
complete and the facility re-opened on 1 December 2018. Work us underway
to align the project budget with the business case and provide a contingency
for final account settlement. Settlement of contractor's final account is in
progress.
· 2046
Pt Erin Pool - comprehensive renewal
Consultants have been engaged and the design process with
concerned parties is underway. Finalisation of proposed design is progressing.
· 2060
Salisbury Park - improve entranceway
Tenders for physical works were received late March 2019.
The contracts team will finalise award and the council project manager will
establish precise timeframes for the works which are dependent on contractor
availability.
· 2065
Grey Lynn Park - develop new changing rooms
The developed design is complete and resource consent was
lodged 23 January 2019. A workshop with the local board regarding the final
design will be held in early April 2019. Preparation of tender documentation
will follow with physical works planned to start following completion of
Richmond Rover Rugby League winter season (Sept/ Oct 2019)
· 3136
Elam Street - renew walkway
The design is complete. Physical works are underway with the
staircase being manufactured offsite.
· 2788
Waitematā - Urban Forest Restoration
Physical works have been prioritised on maintenance of last
year’s plantings at Seddon Fields and Point Erin and site preparation for
this year’s new plantings. This will be followed by further pest plant
control. Physical works are predicted to run through July in order to achieve
the desired outcomes.
· 3308
Waitematā - Western Springs native bush restoration plan
Duty commissioners are currently deciding on the outcome of
the resource consent application which should be known by the end of April
2019. No tree work has been carried out in this financial year.
· 2789
Western Springs Bush Restoration - develop pathways
Investigation and design phase awaiting removal of the pine
trees (subject to a resource consent). Options for pathway development to be
considered as soon as the programme for the tree removal is established and the
new tree planting programme has commenced.
· 690
Waitītiko, Waiateao (Meola and Motions Creek catchments) and the Three
Kings to Western Springs Aquifer Initiative (Waitematā).
This project has been cancelled following advice received
from staff in the Research, Investigations and Monitoring Unit and Healthy
Waters. Previous data collected at the sites for groundwater analysis show high
concentrations of nitrogen. This is most likely due to ageing wastewater
infrastructure in the area. Solutions to these issues are being addressed
through large-scale regional projects such as the Central Interceptor and
infrastructure renewals projects. Improvements in groundwater nutrient loads take
many years to achieve, so staff have recommended that the remaining budget of
$6,800 be reallocated towards the Compost Food Waste Initiative project for the
current financial year. The local board approved this reallocation at the March
2019 business meeting (resolution WTM/2019/35).
· 2108
Additional hours to network standard: Central Library - Waitematā
Library services are making the most of the extra hours and
in this quarter hosted ' Elect Women' in the late afternoon on a Saturday where
around 60 women discussed how women can obtain leadership positions within
local government structures. Due to the extra hour added to the Sunday
timetable, staff are also able to continue its popular ‘Browse the
basement’. This programme is often fully booked and attracts attendees
from all walks of life. During a recent tour, a large Iranian contingent
attended and excitedly took photos on the basement lower level, a space they
described as ‘really magical’. Some of the group had never visited
the library and were adamant they would return in the future. This visit
coincided with local board members visiting the Central Library and some in the
group remarked how positive and important it was to have local government
figures engaging with the public.

WTM: City play network assessment
Data analysis is in progress and a draft report will be
presented to the local board in Q4.
· 1436
The Parnell Plan
Following adoption of the plan in December 2018, work has
progressed on graphic visualisations of key action areas, the front cover photo
montage, and the set of photos in the rest of the plan document. Ongoing
consultation and feedback with the working group on these aspects has
proceeded, in line with the December resolution of the local board. The
document content has been completed and submitted to the Chair of the local
board for approval, prior to final document design. This is expected to
be completed and the plan published in quarter four.
Activities with significant issues
17. For this
quarter there are no activities identified as having significant issues (a red
RAG status).
Activities with some risk
18. The
following work programme activities have been identified by operating
departments as having some risk (amber status):
· 867
Local Māori Responsiveness Action Plan (WTM)
The scoping is on hold due to staff capacity. A contractor
will be engaged to complete the scoping and deliver the plan in Q4. There is a
risk that the plan will not be delivered in the current financial year.
· 2452
Future governance and management options for Ellen Melville Centre
This initiative has been delayed due to staff capacity
issues during Q3. It is proposed to advance it in Q4 with a focus on reviewing
the progress of the facility through the first 2 years of operation.
· 2067
Olympic Pool - replace main pool sparge line
Due to urgent repairs required for the spa and other
facilities which were critical to the operations of the pool, funds have been
redirected to attend to these works.
· 2902
Waitematā - renew signage FY17
Delays due to release of new design templates and finalised
icons for formatting new signs. The Grey Lynn Park signs are the last
signs to be installed which is planned for April 2019. Signs also include
renewal for Vermont Reserve name sign.
· 2905
Waitematā - renew utilities and furniture FY17

Highwic House - renew roads and car parks
Pavement renewal options were presented to Heritage New
Zealand and Council's built heritage team in December 2018. Heritage New
Zealand has requested archaeological research be undertaken into historical
pavement types used within the Highwic House paved areas. This has delayed any
physical works until the investigation has been undertaken and pavement renewal
options identified
· 3047
Albert Park - reinstate Zig Zag track FY17
Consultation has been undertaken with key stakeholders
including the Auckland Council Heritage Team, Heritage New Zealand, Auckland
Council Stormwater, Arborists and Regional Facilities Authority. Next steps
will include confirming iwi consultation and lodging applications for
engineering and resource consent and Heritage New Zealand authority to modify.
· 3109
Outhwaite Park – renew playground
Due to public safety concerns regarding the adjacent
carpark, it is proposed to extend the original scope of works to renew both the
playground and the carpark concurrently. The additional scope to be included in
the future work programme and the design for both the carpark and play area
will be presented to the local board for review and direction.
· 2388
Digital Safeswim Signs
Procurement processes have delayed the delivery timeline for
this work. It is now anticipated that the signs will be operational in June
2019, instead of April 2019 as stated in quarter two. The signs are still
expected to be delivered within the financial year. Two signs have been
ordered and are expected to arrive in the country in early to mid-May 2019.
Staff are working with planning and regulatory staff to ensure all the
appropriate approvals have been secured by the time the signs arrive. At a
workshop in March 2019 two alternative options were presented to the board for
the sign location at Herne Bay. The Healthy Waters department will cover the
additional installation costs of having it located on the roadside instead of
at the bottom of the path by the beach. The signs are scheduled to be
installed in May 2019 and will be tested in June 2019.
· 873
Implementation of the City Fringe Local Economic Development Action Plan
The City Fringe Business Associations have advised that they
would like to seek funding for a 'white app' instead of the collective identity
as approved by the local board in February 2019. The Business
Associations have been invited to submit a proposal to the local board by the
18 April for its consideration. The ability to progress the work
programme item is dependent on the Business Associations developing a proposal
for the development of a 'white app'. The deadline for this is the 18 April
2019. If this is not met then the ability to meet the required deadlines for
reporting will not be possible.
Activities on hold
19. The following
work programme activities have been identified by operating departments as on
hold with some risk (amber status):
· 2047
St Stephens Cemetery - renew walkway
The project has been on hold and remains on hold while
working through concerns raised with regard to stormwater and Heritage New
Zealand consent. Renewal of paths is opposed by Heritage NZ and Council
Heritage. The current budget allocation is insufficient for the required
investigation and redesign.
· 2066
Olympic Pool - improve acoustics in main pool
The project on hold due to a structural assessment of the
pools. The schedule unlikely to be achieved and it is recommended the project
be rolled into structural remedial works if these works are going to occur.

Māori
Māori impact statement
26. A number of
the key projects set out in this report have involved direct engagement with
iwi and the projects themselves have been refined as a result of this
engagement. For example the Western Springs Te Wai Orea Development Plan
involved consultation with iwi for early direction, the Parnell Plan has been
refined through iwi involvement and the Te Ha o Hine Place signage content was
developed in partnership with Ngāti Whātua o Ōrākei.
27. The
Waitematā Local Board will continue to ensure mana whenua have input into
local board projects and that projects are refined in response to this valued
input.
28. The Waitematā
Local Board supports the use of traditional iwi names and dual names for public
spaces as a standard approach to Māori responsiveness and to reflect the
history of the local board area.
29. Mana whenua
customary practices continue to be embedded into the opening events for the
local board’s projects such as the blessing event for the Te Ha o Hine
Place signage project and a mihi at the opening of the Western Park Stairs.

Financial implications
30. This report
is for information only and therefore there are no financial implications
associated with this report.
Financial Performance
31. Operating
expenditure relating to Asset Based Services (ABS) is tracking slightly above
budget by $591,000 for the year to date, while the LDI operational projects are
currently $460,000 below budget. This is due to a variety of projects yet
to draw down on financial allocations.
32. Capital spend
of $4.9 million represents investments in the Parnell Pools comprehensive
upgrade, Western Park boardwalk and paving renewals, Albert Park Cottage
renewals, and changing room and toilet development at Grey Lynn Park. The board
has also seen progress on projects from their discretionary LDI capital fund.
33. The complete Waitematā
Local Board Financial Performance report can be found in Appendix B.
Ngā raru tūpono me
ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
34. 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.
35. Information
about any significant risks and how they are being managed and/or mitigated is
addressed in the ‘Activities with significant issues’ section
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
36. The local
board will receive the next performance update for quarter four following the
end of the financial year (June 2019).

Feedback on the Department of
Conservations' proposed revocation of certain delegations to Territorial
Authorities under the Reserves Act 1977
File No.: CP2019/06604
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To
receive the Waitematā Local Board feedback in relation to the Department
of Conservation (DOC) proposal to revoke most Ministerial delegations to
Territorial Authorities under the Reserves Act 1977.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. A
letter dated 14 March 2019 was received from DOC addressed to all Territorial
Authorities seeking feedback on a proposal to revoke most Ministerial
delegations currently delegated to councils under the Reserves Act 1977. A copy
of the letter is set out in Attachment A of this report.
3. The
reason provided for much of the proposed revocation is that under the current
delegation, council makes its decision as the territorial authority and then
reviews that decision under ministerial delegation. This could be viewed
as potentially putting council in a conflict of interest situation, as it is
effectively reviewing its own decision(s).
4. Auckland
Council prepared a submission in response to the letter, which local boards
were given an opportunity to provide input into.
5. At
the 16 April 2019 business meeting, the local board delegated authority to
Chair P Coom and Member D Roche to provide formal feedback by 18 April 2019 on
behalf of the local board in relation to the Department of Conservation
proposal to revoke most Ministerial delegations to Territorial Authorities
under the Reserves Act 1977 (WTM/2019/60).
6. Local
board feedback was considered as part of the final submission and will be
reported to the Environment and Community Committee meeting on 14 May 2019.
7. A
copy of Waitematā Local Boards formal feedback submitted is set out in
Attachment B of this report.

boards normally provide their formal views at business meetings. Because local
board reporting timeframes don’t usually align with statutory timeframes,
in most instances formal reporting at a business meeting will not allow local
feedback to be provided by submission closing date.
10. Providing
formal local board views by way of a delegation to a local board member is
considered the most efficient way of providing formal local board views. This
is because the delegate can provide views within the regulatory timeframes and
because no additional reporting is required when new applications of interest are
notified.
