Horopaki
Context
4. This report addresses transport-related matters in the local board area and includes information on the status of the LBTCF and LBTCF projects.
5. 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 AT’s work programme.
6. 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 AT (though projects running through parks can be considered if there is a transport outcome).
7. AT is responsible for all of Auckland’s transport services, excluding state highways. Auckland Transport 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
Community Safety Fund (CSF)
8. 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 formula focused on numbers of Deaths and Serious Injuries (DSI).
9. The Manurewa Local Board has been allocated $1,015,221 over the two years, with decisions on the list of proposed projects due by 30 June 2019.
10. Projects may be supplemented with the board’s remaining LBTCF of $769,382 but all CSF funding must be spent, with no carryover possible.
11. The board discussed its proposed projects at its transport workshop on 6 June 2019.
12. Assessment of the board’s proposed projects will take place from 10 June 2019, with the aim of having the assessments and costings available by the end of June, for discussion at the July transport workshop.
13. The board’s prioritised list will then go to AT for regional consolidation and prioritisation.
First stage of rapid transit to airport project
14. A new $60M rail and bus interchange will be built in south Auckland. The Puhinui Station interchange will connect rail and buses to Auckland Airport and Manukau. Construction will start in late 2019 with the station to open in early 2021.
15. The new station will mark out the south-western gateway to the city and enable congestion-free travel to the airport and its employment precinct for people across Auckland. It provides a modern, safe and weather protected environment to enable passengers to easily and conveniently transition between road and rail services.
16. The project is led by AT, and forms part of the wider Southwest Gateway programme. The New Zealand Transport Agency is contributing co-investment funding for the project, with the remainder coming from Auckland Council and the Regional Fuel Tax (RFT). The Puhinui Station interchange is being delivered in two stages, the first stage is an early deliverable of the Airport to Botany Rapid Transit project.
Te Mahia station upgrade
17. AT has completed the majority of works at Te Mahia Station.
18. 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.
19. The board and the Town Centre Steering Group are considering additional signage at 286 Great south Road to inform the public about the future of the site. AT advises that the board could fund an external agency for the signage as long as the final sign adhere to AT’s design standards.
20. The Decluttering Audit has been completed and circulated to the Manurewa Town Centre Steering Group for discussion at its June monthly meeting.
21. The Accessibility Audit has been received from Te Roopu Waiora via Barrier Free NZ and has been circulated to the Manurewa Town Centre Steering Group for discussion at its June monthly meeting.
22. 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.
Manurewa Wayfinding
23. AT has received a proposal from an agency to undertake the full project. The proposal is currently being reviewed in line with the Town Centre’s requirements.
Hill Road/Charles Prevost Drive intersection in The Gardens
24. 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.
25. Consultation closed on 19 April 2019. AT was pleased with the generally positive response to the proposals. Public feedback is currently being analysed.
Alfriston Rd/Magic Way intersection traffic flow improvements
26. AT is currently undertaking consultation internally about proposed traffic flow and safety improvements at this intersection.
27. The board will be informed when the draft designs are ready for public consultation.

Indicative business case: Redevelopment of War Memorial Park, Manurewa
File No.: CP2019/10330
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To endorse the indicative business case for the redevelopment of War Memorial Park, Manurewa.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. Sports field upgrades and the construction of a multi-purpose community facility at War Memorial Park ware selected by the Manurewa Local Board as its One Local Initiative for funding as part of the Long-term Plan 2018-2028. Funding of $17 million was earmarked for the project, following indicative and detailed business case processes.
3. Staff have developed an indicative business case to inform decision-making. Preparation of the business case entailed an investigation of community need, an assessment of strategic alignment and an economic analysis.
4. The needs assessment demonstrates a current and future need for additional sports field capacity, but not a new local community centre.
5. Three options were assessed:
· Option one: Service improvements to two existing quarter-size sports fields (status quo)
· Option two: A small local community centre, a new quarter-size floodlit artificial practice turf and service improvements to all other sports fields (4.5 full-size equivalent sports fields) (One Local Initiative)
· Option three: Reduced scope with service improvements to four full-size equivalent sports fields (preferred option).
6. The economic case identified that option three delivers community benefits above the capital and operational costs. A cost benefit analysis indicates the benefits are at least 1.73 times the costs. Option two performed poorly against criteria and economic analysis.
7. Options one and option three performed best against assessment criteria, including strategic fit, alignment to community need, alignment to future growth and value for money.
8. The key trade-offs between option one (status quo) and option three (reduced scope) are:
· option one may not fully address local demand at War Memorial Park or Manurewa but avoids the risk of overprovision. It may require Manurewa AFC to expand to a third site to access sufficient training capacity.
· option three risks some over provision of winter field capacity within Manurewa but will fully address local demand at War Memorial Park. This will eliminate current risks associated with field overuse while also avoiding the need for Manurewa AFC to expand to a third site.
9. Staff recommend option three. This option demonstrates a strong case for change, provides greater future certainty, and is based on a sound economic case.
10. Staff note that the Manurewa AFC clubrooms have been deemed as unsafe and may require demolition as a matter of public safety.
11. The next steps are for staff to seek feedback from the local board, and to report to the Environment and Community Committee in July 2019.
Recommendation/s That the Manurewa Local Board: a) endorse the findings of an indicative business case for the redevelopment of War Memorial Park, Manurewa which found that: i) there is limited growth projected in the Manurewa Local Board area, which will constrain demand for new community, sport and recreation facilities ii) there are currently 12 community centres and community halls within the study area iii) there is no current gap for a new community facility in the Manurewa Local Board area iv) current population projections do not indicate a need for additional community facilities before 2046 v) over the long-term, the strongest case for additional community facility capacity is likely to be in Wiri - this is due to the growth associated with Transform Manukau vi) there is a current gap of 120 hours of lit winter sport field capacity in the Manurewa Local Board area, of which 49 hours relates to football capacity vii) the provision of sand-carpeting and lighting of fields at War Memorial Park would address the projected demand for additional sports field capacity viii) the provision of additional sports field capacity aligns with Auckland Plan outcomes ix) the quantifiable benefits of providing additional sports field capacity exceed the capital and operational costs required to develop the additional capacity. b) endorse that the development of a new local community centre has a weak case for change, strategic alignment with council objectives and would not deliver community benefits above the capital and operational costs. EITHER c) endorse the development of a design case commencing in 2019/2020 based on option three comprising sand-carpeting and lighting improvements of four full-size equivalent sports fields based on the allocation of $2.9 million of $17 million earmarked as part of the Long-term Plan 2018-2028. (Recommended) OR endorse option two selected by the Manurewa Local Board as its One Local Initiative and develop a detailed business case commencing in 2019/20 for a small local community centre, a new quarter-size floodlit artificial practice turf and service improvements to all other sports fields (4.5 full-size equivalent sports fields) located on War Memorial Park, Manurewa, based on : ii) indicative funding of $17 million earmarked as part of the Long-term Plan 2018-2028

Horopaki
Context
12. The redevelopment of War Memorial Park, Manurewa was selected by the Manurewa Local Board as its One Local Initiative for funding as part of the Long-term Plan 2018-2028.
13. The local board proposed:
· construction of a new multi-purpose community facility, capable of hosting small meetings, events and social gatherings for community groups and sports clubs
· service improvements to the park’s existing sports fields, including conversion of one quarter-size field into a floodlit artificial practice turf, as well as sand-carpeting and lighting all other fields.
14. The park currently features eight sports fields (4.75 full-size equivalent sports fields), four cricket wickets and a children’s play space. It is currently home to a football club (Manurewa AFC), a cricket club and a bowls club.
15. The proposed multi-purpose community facility most closely aligns with the council definition of a small local community centre under the Community Facilities Network Plan.[1] Such centres usually offer bookable meeting spaces, coordinated programming and are often staffed by an on-site manager.
16. The Finance and Performance Committee then approved provisional funding for these local board projects [resolution FIN/2018/85].
17. A total of $0.10 million was allocated to the Manurewa Local Board to develop an indicative business case. The business case is developed in two parts – indicative and detailed business cases.
18. Funding of $17 million was earmarked for delivery of the Manurewa One Local Initiative, following indicative and detailed business case processes.
19. Auckland Council uses a three-stage process to investigate large-scale capital projects and new investment in community services or facilities. This approach is based on the Better Business Case model developed by the Treasury.
20. The first phase begins with a strategic needs assessment. This entails:
· research into the profile of the community, including projected growth data
· a summary of recent social research and any relevant community engagement surveys
· a community facility stock-take (both council and non-council facilities)
· a gap analysis which assesses current provision against council policy.
21. An indictive business case considers the merits of a proposed investment. It considers strategic alignment with council objectives, including the Auckland Plan. It also includes an economic case which considers the costs and benefits of various options that may achieve council’s investment goals.
22. A detailed business case can be built upon:
· a needs assessment which demonstrates a case for change
· a strategic assessment which shows alignment with council objectives
· an economic case which identifies a preferred option or options that deliver community benefits.

Analysis and advice
23. Staff have prepared an indicative business case for a local community centre and sports field capacity upgrades at War Memorial Park that follows council’s three stage process. The key findings are outlined below (Attachment A provides a more detailed overview).
24. War Memorial Park is well-used and well-loved by its surrounding community.
· Council research in 2016 found 100 per cent satisfaction amongst existing users of War Memorial Park.
· 44 per cent of users live within 10-minutes’ walk of the park, with 88 per cent of these living within five-minutes’ walk.
· 56 per cent of users visit the park at least once a week.
25. There is limited growth projected in the study area which will constrain demand for new community, sport and recreation facilities.
· The population living within five kilometres of War Memorial Park is projected to grow by 19 percent from 83,344 to 99,290 people between 2016 and 2046.
· Future growth within the Manurewa Local Board area is expected to be concentrated within the Transform Manukau development area, to the north of War Memorial Park. This area includes the Manurewa suburb of Wiri.
26. There is no service gap in the provision of relevant community facilities.
· There are currently 12 community centres and community halls within the study area.
· These facilities provide good coverage across Manurewa and neighbouring areas, with minimal service gaps.
27. Provision of an additional local community facility is not required.
· Existing facilities have latent capacity to serve future growth, indicating there is no need for additional capacity at present. This finding confirms the results of an earlier council study.[2]
· The best utilised of these facilities in Manurewa is Wiri Community Hall. This is used 60 per cent of the time. Most other facilities are used less than 40 per cent of the time.
· Current population projections do not indicate a need for additional capacity before 2046. Over the long-term, the strongest case for additional community facility capacity is likely to be in Wiri. This is due to the growth associated with Transform Manukau.
28. There is a current gap for lit winter sports field capacity in the Manurewa Local Board area.
· There is a current gap of 120 hours of lit winter sport field capacity of which 49 hours relates to football.
· Use of existing football fields varies across Manurewa. Some are over used, while others have spare capacity.
· Manurewa AFC, which operates from War Memorial Park and neighbouring Jellicoe Park, is currently utilising 157 per cent of those parks existing capacity. Overuse risks damage to playing fields and acts as a constraint on the operation of the club.
29. Provision of additional sports field capacity would respond to current demand.
· Sand-carpeting and lighting can improve the capacity of the average playing field by around 10 hours per week
· As part of the council’s Winter Sport Field Capacity Programme:
o Funding has been allocated for the upgrade two fields at Mountfort Park, Manurewa.
o The upgrade of a further two fields at War Memorial Park is being investigated.
30. The provision of additional sports field capacity aligns with Auckland Plan outcomes.

|
31. The Manurewa AFC clubrooms pose a public safety risk to current park users.
· The existing Manurewa AFC clubrooms have fallen into disrepair and pose a risk to public safety. The clubrooms are owned by the Manurewa AFC and are situated on upper level of the park’s grandstand, a council building.
· The club pays a ground rent to council. The lease is being rolled over on a month to month basis. On the expiry of the lease, the clubrooms will revert to council ownership.
· The clubrooms are likely to require demolition in the interest of public safety.
There is a strategic case for sports field capacity improvements at War Memorial Park, but not a community facility
32. The needs assessment demonstrates a current need for additional sports field capacity, but not a community facility.
33. The strategic assessment shows moderate alignment with council plans and strategies.
34. The economic case identified two options that delivery community benefits above the capital and operational costs. Both options align with council’s investment objectives and critical success factors.
35. Staff assessed three options as part of the investigation:
· Option one: Service improvements to two existing quarter-size sports fields (status quo)
· Option two: A small local community centre, a new quarter-size floodlit artificial practice turf and service improvements to all other sports fields (4.5 full-size equivalent sports fields) (One Local Initiative)
· Option three: Reduced scope with service improvements to four full-size equivalent sports fields (preferred option)
36. Note that the demolition of the Manurewa AFC clubrooms is considered likely under all future scenarios.
Option one: Service improvements to two existing sports fields (status quo)
37. Under this option, the council would progress with sand-carpeting and lighting improvements to two existing quarter-size fields including the main training area.
38. This would deliver service level improvements to approximately 10 per cent of the park’s playing surfaces and would deliver a 20 per cent increase in playing hour capacity.
39. This option represents the level of likely investment in War Memorial Park under the council’s Winter Sports Field Capacity Programme.
40. It is unclear whether this option will fully meet current needs:
· Manurewa AFC is currently operating across two sites (War Memorial Park and Jellicoe Park) and is using 157 per cent of its allocated field capacity. Upgrading only two fields at War Memorial Park will not deliver enough local capacity to address overuse. This means that Manurewa AFC will need to be allocated additional field capacity at a third site within Manurewa.
· upgrading four fields (two at War Memorial Park and two at Mountfort Park) would normally yield 40 hours additional playing capacity, nine hours short of current demand.
41. Some cricket capacity at War Memorial Park may be compromised by this option. Sand-carpeting only some winter sports fields at War Memorial Park could result in different playing surfaces within the park. This may compromise the performance of one cricket wicket, or 25 percent of the park’s existing cricket capacity.
Option two: New facility and service improvements to all existing sports fields (One Local Initiative)
42. Under this option, the council would construct a small local community centre, convert one existing quarter-size playing field into a lit artificial practice turf and provide sand-carpeting and lighting upgrades of all other sports fields (4.5 full-size equivalent fields). This reflects the outcome sought by the local board in its One Local Initiative.
43. The benefits of this option are that:
· it would fully address local field capacity constraints faced by Manurewa AFC at the War Memorial Park.
· the community centre would take immediate pressure off adjacent Wiri Community Hall, a highly utilised venue-for-hire. It would also help meet future population growth in Wiri over the next 30 years.
· consistent treatment of all sports fields under this option would support retention of 100 per cent of the park’s existing cricket capacity.
44. However, this option would result in an over-provision of both community space and sports field capacity. It would also be the costliest.
Option three: Service improvements to four existing sports fields (reduced scope option)
45. Under this option, council would invest in sand-carpeting and field lighting upgrades for four full-size equivalent sports fields. This would result in service level improvements to approximately 80 per cent of the park’s playing surfaces and an up 90 per cent increase in playing hour capacity.
46. This option risks nominal over provision of sports field capacity within the Manurewa Local Board area. However, it would resolve current issues of sports field overuse at War Memorial Park and remove the need for Manurewa AFC to expand to a third site.
47. The lack of a new community facility under this option means it is unlikely to satisfy public expectations for the development of the park. This presents a reputational risk to council.
48. Staff developed the following assessment criteria to enable the comparison of the options:
· Current need: Does a demonstrable community currently exist?
· Future growth: Is the scale of the option proportionate to future population growth?
· Strategic alignment: Is this something we should be doing?
· Value for money: Do the benefits associated with an option exceed its costs?
49. These criteria are unweighted and allow for objective assessment.
50. A summary of the options against the assessment criteria is provided in Table 2 below.

51. When the criteria are applied, option three (upgrade four full-size fields) scores the highest. While it could result in some overprovision of football field capacity, it is well aligned to relevant council strategies for sports field provision. It is a proportionate response to address issues of overuse at War Memorial Park. Economic analysis suggests that it would deliver sufficient additional benefit to justify these costs.
52. Option one (upgrade two quarter-size fields) is next best option. This option is well aligned with relevant council policies and is low cost to implement. While it avoids the risk of overprovision, it is unclear whether it would fully satisfy current and future need within Manurewa. It would not directly address current capacity constraints at War Memorial Park.
53. Option two (new facility and upgrade all fields) is best aligned with local community expectations. However, it is the least aligned to local need or the council’s strategies and practices. It is the costliest option and is not expected to generate sufficient social or economic benefits to justify investment.
54. Options two (new facility and upgrade all fields) and option three (upgrade four full-size fields) were subject to economic analysis to identify benefits above the status quo.
55. The primary benefits are improved physical and mental health outcomes to users. These are $7.5 million for option two, and $4.5 million for option three. Other benefits include improved productivity, reduced unemployment and decreased crime.
56. The net benefits of option three is over $2.1 million in present day terms. The ratio of benefits to costs are at least 1.73.
57. The high capital cost of delivering a new community facility hampers the performance of option two. It would deliver net benefits of negative $3.5 million in present day terms. This option has a benefit-to-cost ratio of 0.73.
58. Staff recommend the development of a design case based on option three. There is a robust strategic case for change and a sound economic case.
59. Some research and survey data lacked enough detail to aggregate at the level of the study area. Where data could not be separated, it is presented at local board level or at Auckland level.
60. Population growth is based on projections. There is a risk of growth being higher than forecast. That would result in additional pressure on existing facilities. The final timing and scale of growth in Wiri is uncertain, as it depends on future decisions by Panuku Development and the Crown for the joint development of the Transform Manukau area.
61. The cost-benefit analysis required the use of some assumptions. A key assumption was that demand was a mixture of new demand, current demand increased through closer service provision and current demand switching from other facilities. Only the first two provide quantifiable benefits to council.
62. Other assumptions were made on inflation, the deadweight loss of council investment and consumer surplus.

Council group impacts and views
63. Council staff will take actions based on the decision of the Environment and Community Committee.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
64. Redevelopment of War Memorial Park will enhance sport and recreational opportunities in northern Manurewa and neighbouring areas.
65. Residents of Manurewa and neighbouring areas are less active when compared to all Aucklanders. Sports field capacity constraints may be contributing factor to this.
66. Football is the single most popular sport within the study area, and War Memorial Park has the best utilised sports fields.
67. Feedback from Manurewa residents shows a willingness to spend more time in parks if more facilities, events and programmes were provided, and if the safety of parks were improved.
68. The Manurewa Local Board selected the redevelopment of War Memorial Park as their One Local Initiative for funding as part of the Long-term Plan 2018-2028.
69. The views of the local board on the findings of the indicative business case are sought through this report.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
70. 21 per cent of the population of the study area identify as Māori. This is significantly higher than the 10.7 per cent of the population who identify as Māori across the Auckland region.
71. Manurewa’s Māori population are slightly more active than then the wider local board population (25.7 per cent inactive), and near the average for the wider Auckland region (24.7 per cent).
72. Football is the second most popular sporting activity amongst Manurewa’s Māori communities, with 6.8 per cent participation.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
73. Each local board identified one priority project through the Long-term Plan 2018-2028 process. The Finance and Performance Committee then approved provisional funding for these local board projects [resolution FIN/2018/85].
74. The Manurewa Local Board proposed a redevelopment of War Memorial Park, including a new community facility. A total of $0.100 million was allocated to develop an indicative business case. Only $0.025 million has been spent to-date.
75. Funding of $17 million was earmarked for the redevelopment of War Memorial Park, subject to approval of the indicative and detailed business cases.
76. There is enough One Local Initiative funding available to deliver the redevelopment.

Risks and mitigations
77. There are three main risks associated with the preferred option three (upgrade four fields). These are outlined in Table 3.
Table 3: Risk identification and mitigation
Type of risk |
Risk Level |
Mitigation |
Reputational risk IF the council chooses not to invest in the proposed community facility THEN council’s reputation could be impacted in the community. |
Low |
This risk can be mitigated through communication of the findings of the indicative business case and highlighting the playing field service improvements under the preferred option.
|
Financial risk IF costs of the project exceed initial estimates THEN the costs could exceed the benefits |
Low |
This risk can be mitigated by obtaining detailed costing from a quantity surveyor and are assessed through sensitivity analysis All council projects are subject to financial policy decisions on cost escalation and treatment of inflation |
Delivery risk IF population growth rates exceed projections THEN demand for additional facilities may come sooner than expected |
Low |
This risk is mitigated by nominal overprovision under the preferred option Early demand for additional community facility capacity in Wiri can be addressed as part of planning for the Transform Manukau area |

Next steps
78. The next steps are outlined in Figure 1 below, subject to the decisions of the Environment and Community Committee.
79. If option three (service improvements to four existing sports fields) is approved, work will commence on the development of a design case in 2019/20.
80. If option two (One Local Initiative) is approved, development of a detailed business case will commence in 2019/20.
81. Operational funding may need to be allocated for the development of the detailed design or business cases.
82. The timeframe for delivery will depend on how long it takes to develop and obtain approval for the design or business cases.

Approval for a new road name at 20-725 Barrowcliffe Place Manukau Central
File No.: CP2019/07915
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek approval from the Manurewa Local Board to name a new private road (COAL D), being a commonly owned access lot, created by way of a subdivision development at 20-725 Barrowcliffe Place, Manukau Central.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. Auckland Council has Road Naming Guidelines that set out the requirements and criteria for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming across Auckland.
3. The applicant, Housing Foundation, has proposed the following names for consideration by the local board:
· Tangai Lane (applicant Preferred)
· Kaupeka Lane (alternative 1)
· Pekanga Lane (alternative 2).
4. Following consultation with mana whenua, Te Akitai suggested the following additional options:
Table 1: Te Akitai Suggested Road Names |
|
· Herenga · Whawhau · Panga · Hou · Hononga · Uri · Tauhere |
· Whaitake · Purua · Whakapiri · Pirihongi · Pikorua · Ruruku · Pekapeka |
5. Any of the proposed road name options would be acceptable for the local board to approve for use in this location, having been assessed to ensure that they meet Auckland Council’s Road Naming Guidelines and the National Addressing Standards for Road Naming. Mana whenua were also consulted.
Recommendation/s That the Manurewa Local Board: a) approve the name (local board to insert chosen name) for the new private road created by way of subdivision at 20-725 Barrowcliffe Place Manukau Central in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent reference BUN60326246, SUB60326270, and LUC60326249). |
Horopaki
Context
6. The subject subdivision is part of a large-scale affordable housing development being undertaken by the Housing Foundation operating in partnership with Te Akitai Waiohua and Panuku Development Auckland that will generate a total of 300 new homes across the Manukau area.
7. The road to be named as part of this application was approved by resource consent reference BUN60326246 (including subdivision SUB60326270) issued in March 2019 for the construction of 134 residential dwellings across 93 lots, as well as five public roads and eleven commonly owned access lots (COAL).
8. 8 of the 11 COALs do not require a road name as they serve less than 5 lots each.
9. Road names have already been approved by the Manurewa Local Board for the five public roads and two COALs (COAL G and COAL T) on this site at the 18 April 2019 local board meeting.
10. The applicant has confirmed that COAL D will service 7 lots. So three road names have therefore been proposed for the local board’s consideration.
11. Site and location plans of the development can be found in Attachments A and B respectively.
12. Local iwi have also provided Te Reo road name options, detailed below.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice

Panuku Development Auckland Local Board six-monthly update from 1 November 2018 to 30 April 2019
File No.: CP2019/09043
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To update the Manurewa Local Board on Panuku Development Auckland’s (Panuku) activities within the local board area for the six months from 1 November 2018 to 30 April 2019.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. Panuku is charged with balancing financial and non-financial outcomes in order to create and manage sustainable and resilient places where people want to live, work, invest, learn and visit. The activities of Panuku cover four broad areas:

4. No properties were purchased, and no properties were sold in the Manurewa Local Board area during the last six months.
Recommendation/s That the Manurewa Local Board: a) receive the Panuku Development Auckland Local Board update for 1 November 2018 to 30 April 2019. |
Horopaki
Context
5. Panuku helps to rejuvenate parts of Auckland, from small projects that refresh a site or building, to major transformations of town centres or neighbourhoods.
6. The Auckland Plan is the roadmap to deliver on Auckland’s vision to be a world class city. Panuku will play a significant role in achieving the Homes and Places and Belonging and Participation outcomes.
7. Panuku is leading urban redevelopment in Manukau, Onehunga, Wynyard Quarter, Waterfront, Northcote, Avondale, Takapuna, Henderson, Papatoetoe, Ormiston and Flat Bush, Panmure, Pukekohe, City Centre and redevelopment of the Haumaru portfolio.
8. Panuku manages around $2 billion of council’s non-service property portfolio, which is continuously reviewed to find smart ways to generate income for the region, grow the portfolio, or release land or property that can be better used by others.
9. As at 30 December 2018, the property portfolio comprises 1636 properties, containing 1062 leases. The current portfolio includes vacant land, industrial buildings, warehouses, retail shops, cafes, offices, medical centres, and a large portfolio of residential rental homes.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
Development
10. Below is a high-level update on development activities in the Manurewa Local Board area:
· 20 Barrowcliffe Place – Subdivision works for this residential development are underway and targeted for completion in July 2019. Puhinui Park (consortium including New Zealand Housing Foundation) and Kōtuitui Place (consortium including Te Ākitai Waiohua) will provide over 300 homes, the majority of which will be affordable, with construction on houses commencing in August 2019.
· Barrowcliffe Bridge and Place Enhancement – A design team has been appointed and concept design work will commence soon. The team will work alongside local boards.The streetscape enhancement to provide a safer and more attractive walking and cycling connection into central Manukau from the new residential development at 20 Barrowcliffe Place, and suburbs in the south.
· Puhinui Regeneration Strategy – Panuku and Healthy Waters are working together to deliver a holistic design approach for the whole catchment (‘source to harbour’). This project will develop a close partnership and collaboration with the local board, mana whenua, council and local community in the creation of a regeneration strategy and integrated work programme.
· Wiri Playground – Panuku is working with council to investigate an upgrade of the playground in Wiri Stream Reserve in a more visible location. This will likely build on the current play provision by adding cultural and natural play elements.
· Counties Manukau District Health Board (DHB) Walkway – A proposal has been developed with the DHB to allow Panuku to construct a shared walkway and cycleway on a section of the Puhinui stream corridor that is currently inaccessible to the public. This will provide a missing link to connect the Puhinui stream from the Botanic Gardens to central Manukau. The details of the development agreement and easement arrangements are being negotiated.
· Panuku is working closely with The Southern Initiative (TSI) and Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) to coordinate initiatives to achieve enhanced social, cultural and economic outcomes.
Properties managed in the Manurewa Local Board Area
11. Panuku currently manages 19 commercial and 44 residential interests within the local board area.
Business interests
12. Panuku also manages the commercial return from business interests on the council’s behalf. This includes two forestry enterprises, two landfills and four quarries.
Portfolio strategy
Optimisation
13. Optimisation is a self-funding development approach targeting sub-optimal service assets approved in 2015. The process is a tri-party agreement between Community Facilities, Panuku and local boards and is led by Panuku. It is designed to deliver equal or enhanced levels of service to the local community in a reconfigured form while delivering on strategic outcomes such as housing or urban regeneration with no impact on existing rate assumptions.
14. Using optimisation, underperforming assets will have increased utility and efficiency, with lower maintenance costs, operating costs as well as improved service delivery benefiting from co-location of other complimentary services or commercial activities. Optimisation will free up a vast range of undercapitalised development opportunities such as air space, full sites, or part sites and in many cases will result in intensification of land use, particularly residential, supporting Auckland Plan implementation.
15. Local boards are allocated decision making for the disposal of local service property and reinvestment of sale proceeds in accordance with the service property optimisation approach.
Portfolio review and rationalisation
Overview
16. Panuku is required to undertake ongoing rationalisation of the council’s non-service assets. This includes identifying properties from within the council’s portfolio that may be suitable for potential sale and development if appropriate. Panuku has a focus on achieving housing and urban regeneration outcomes. Identifying potential sale properties contributes to the Auckland Plan focus of accommodating the significant growth projected for the region over the coming decades, by providing the council with an efficient use of capital and prioritisation of funds to achieve its activities and projects.
Performance
17. Panuku works closely with Auckland Council and Auckland Transport to identify potential surplus properties to help achieve disposal targets.
18. Target for July 2018 to June 2019:
Unit |
Target |
Achieved |
Portfolio review |
$30 million disposal recommendations |
$9.3 million as at 30 April 2019. |
Process
19. Once identified as no longer delivering the council service use for which it was acquired, a property is taken through a multi-stage rationalisation process. The agreed process includes engagement with council departments and CCOs, the local board and mana whenua. This is followed by Panuku board approval, engagement with the local ward councillors and the Independent Māori Statutory Board and finally, a Governing Body decision.
Under review
20. There is one property currently under review in the Manurewa Local Board area listed below. The list includes any properties that may have recently been approved for sale or development and sale by the governing body.
Property |
Details |
18R (Part) Hazards Road, Weymouth |
A Local Purpose (for public car park and toilet facilities) Reserve subject to the Reserves Act 1977. In 2015 AT released the property as not required for current or future transport infrastructure requirements. It was subsequently transferred to council for rationalisation. The internal consultation commenced in June 2016 and identified council service use requirements for the car parking and toilet facilities and to protect access to the adjacent wastewater pump station. No service use requirement for the vacant part of the property has been identified. Panuku received the board’s informal feedback in May 2019 regarding the proposed part disposal. |
Acquisitions and disposals
21. Panuku manages the acquisition and disposal of property on behalf of Auckland Council. Panuku purchases property for development, roads, infrastructure projects and other services. These properties may be sold with or without contractual requirements for development.
Acquisitions
22. Panuku does not decide which properties to buy in a local board area. Instead, it is asked to negotiate the terms and conditions of a purchase on behalf of the council.
23. Panuku purchased 11 properties for open space across Auckland in the 2018-19 financial year at a cost of $35.3 million and bought one property for storm water use at a value of $188,000.
24. No properties were purchased in the Manurewa Local Board area during the reporting period.
Disposals
25. In the current financial year so far, the Panuku disposals team has entered into twenty-two sale and purchase agreements, with an estimated value of $37.3 million of unconditional net sales proceeds.
26. As part of the Northern Corridor Improvements, Auckland Council has agreed to transfer various parcels of land to NZTA to facilitate the works. The compensation amount totals $6.5 million, of which $1.554 million is advance compensation for required land at Rook Reserve with the final compensation amount still to be agreed.
27. Panuku 2018/19 disposals target is $24 million for the year. The disposals target is agreed with the council and is reviewed on an annual basis.
28. No properties were sold in the Manurewa Local Board area.
Housing for Older People
29. The council owns 1412 units located in 62 villages across Auckland, which provide rental housing to low income older people in Auckland.
30. The Housing for Older People (HfOP) project involved the council partnering with a third-party organisation, The Selwyn Foundation, to deliver social rental housing services for older people across Auckland.
31. The joint venture business, named Haumaru Housing, took over the tenancy, facilities and asset management of the portfolio, under a long-term lease arrangement from 1 July 2017.

33. Auckland Council has delegated Panuku to lead a new multi-year residential development programme.
34. The first new development project is a 40-unit apartment building on the former Wilsher Village site on 33 Henderson Valley Road, Henderson. Once completed in mid-2019, this development will increase the council’s portfolio to 1452 units.

Changes to Local Board Standing Orders
File No.: CP2019/09821
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To provide information about the implications of the Local Government Regulatory Systems Amendment Act 2019 and to recommend changes to the Manurewa Local Board’s standing orders to align with the change in the legislation.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The Local Government Regulatory Systems Amendment Act 2019 (LGRSAA) makes changes to various statutes, including the Local Government 2002 Act (LGA), Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA), the Local Electoral Act 2001, the Dog Control Act 1996, the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 and the Rates Rebate Act 1973.
3. Prior to the legislation change, the LGA provided for an extraordinary meeting where:
(a) It could be called by resolution, or by requisition by the mayor or one third of the members
(b) The notice period was three days (unless it was called by resolution in which case the notice period could be not less than 24 hours)
(c) If it needed to be called earlier it could be called by the mayor, or, if the mayor was unavailable, the chief executive. The notice period could be not less than 24 hours.
4. As a result of the change, the meeting called under (c) above is referred to as an ‘emergency meeting’ rather than an’ extraordinary meeting’.
5. There is a change to the definition of public notice – which requires notification on a council’s website in addition to a newspaper.
6. There is a change to the definition of ‘working day’ to exclude a province’s anniversary.
7. Staff are taking the opportunity, while considering changes to standing orders, to propose an unrelated change to the current standing orders regarding attendance by electronic link. The current standing order requires a member seeking to attend by electronic link to be representing the council and unable to attend. The proposed change removes the requirement to be representing the council.
8. As detailed in LGA Schedule 7 clause 27 (3), a change to standing orders requires a 75 percent majority vote. The Manurewa Local Board’s standing orders need to be changed to reflect the changes in the law.
Recommendation/s That the Manurewa Local Board: a) note the new statutory responsibility of the chief executive: facilitating and fostering representative and substantial elector participation in elections and polls held under the Local Electoral Act 2001

Context
9. The LGRSAA came into force on 21 March 2019. The Act is an omnibus Act in that it makes minor amendments to several pieces of legislation.
10. The LGRSAA amends the Local Electoral Act 2001 to include a new principle for “representative and substantial electoral participation in local elections and polls”, and imposes a new responsibility on the Chief Executive of the council by amending the Chief Executive’s responsibilities in the LGA s 42(2)(d):
(da) facilitating and fostering representative and substantial elector participation in elections and polls held under the Local Electoral Act 2001.
11. It amends the definition of “public notice” and “publicly notified” under the LGA and the LGOIMA to require notification both on the council’s website and in newspapers.
12. It creates a new category of council meeting called an “emergency meeting”, separate from “extraordinary meeting”. Previously, extraordinary meetings had two types of notice requirements. Where the more urgent form of notice is used, the meeting is now referred to as an emergency meeting. This applies to giving notice to members under the LGA and to public notices under LGOIMA.
13. It amends the definition of working day under the LGA and LGOIMA to exclude a province’s anniversary day being counted as a “working day”.
14. It makes minor amendments to The Dog Control Act 996, the Local Electoral Act 2001, the Rates Rebates Act 1973 and makes changes to the LGA by specifying timeframes for making certain documents publicly available. These legislative changes are minor in nature and do not impact on local board standing orders.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
15. The changes made by the LGRSAA are minor in nature. Nevertheless, it is necessary to amend the Manurewa Local Board’s standing orders to align the language to reflect current legislation.
16. Staff also recommend the Manurewa Local Board consider a change to standing orders which is not related to LGRSAA. Standing order 3.3.3 provides conditions for attending a meeting by electronic link:
Conditions for attending by electronic link
The local board or its committees may give approval for a member to attend meetings by electronic link, either generally or for a specific meeting. Situations where approval can be given are:
a) where the member is representing the council at a place that makes their physical presence at the meeting impossible or impracticable
b) to accommodate the member’s illness or infirmity
c) in emergencies.
The member who is seeking to attend by electronic link may not take part in the vote to give approval. The only exception is where there is an emergency, in which case the member seeking to attend by electronic link can take part in the vote.
17. This standing order was adopted in 2015. Since that time the technology has improved, and remote attendance to most local board business meetings is now possible. However, the conditions in the standing order are very limiting and do not allow attendance by a member who is out of Auckland for non-council reasons.
18. Staff recommend amending the standing order by removing the requirement to represent the council in SO 3.3.3 (a):
a) where the member is representing
the council at a place that makes their physical presence at the meeting
impossible or impracticable

20. This is a report to 21 local boards. All local boards need to make changes to align their standing orders to LGRSAA.

21. The changes to standing orders brought about through the LGRSAA do not impact on the Māori community.

Financial implications
22. There are no financial implications to making these changes to standing orders.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
23. LGA Schedule 7 clause 27 (2) states that the standing orders of a local authority must not contravene the LGA or any other Act. If local board standing orders are not aligned to changes in the legislation, there is a risk that the local board may act inconsistently with the legislation by relying on standing orders that are not up to date.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
24. Following the Manurewa Local Board resolution to amend the standing orders, staff will make the appropriate changes and recirculate the updated standing orders.

Manurewa Local Board Community Facilities Work Programme 2019 - 2022
File No.: CP2019/09141
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To approve the 2019 – 2022 Community Facilities Work Programme for the Manurewa Local Board.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The Community Facilities department is responsible for the building, maintaining and renewing of all open spaces and community buildings. This includes the community leasing and licensing of council-owned premises.
3. The Manurewa Local Board 2019/2020 Community Facilities Work Programme was developed through a series of iterative workshops between key staff and local boards since October 2018. The projects identified in the work programme have been prioritised for investment based on a combination of local board feedback, staff assessments of assets and key stakeholder input.
4. The work programme provided in Attachments A and B to this report reflect the projects that were presented in the last local board workshop with modifications based on feedback from the board, and with the inclusion of projects proposed to be funded from regional programmes.
5. This report recommends that the board approves the 2019 - 2022 Community Facilities Work Programme and associated budget in full for projects commencing in the first year of the programme, and in principle for subsequent two years.
6. The work programme includes projects proposed to be funded from regional programmes, including local and sports field development (growth), and the coastal and slips prevention programmes. Inclusion of these projects in the local board work programme is subject to approval by the Environment and Community Committee in July 2019.
7. It is recommended that the local board approve the inclusion of these projects in the work programme and provide feedback for consideration by the Environment and Community Committee.
8. A number of projects have been identified in the work programme as “risk adjusted programme (RAP)” projects. These are projects that have budget allocated in the 2020/2021 financial year.
9. Approval is sought for staff to commence work on these projects in the 2019/2020 year so that they can be delivered early in the event that other approved projects are delayed for any reason.
10. In order to expedite delivery of the work programme, and to manage changes that may be required in a timely way, staff recommend that the board delegate decision making for minor amendments to the approved programme to the Chair.

Context
11. Community facilities and open spaces provide important community services to the people of Auckland. They contribute to building strong, healthy, and vibrant communities by providing spaces where Aucklanders can participate in a wide range of social, cultural, art and recreational activities. These activities improve lifestyles and a sense of belonging and pride amongst residents.
12. Work programmes are presented to local boards for approval each year. The 2019 – 2022 Community Facilities Work Programme, detailed in the attachments, contains information on all proposed projects to be delivered by Community Facilities, including capital works projects, leasing and operational maintenance.
13. Staff have engaged with the board in the development of the work programme through a number of workshops, including:
· 11 November 2018 where the board discussed their priorities for the future work programme
· 14 March 2019 where the board reviewed the first draft work programme and provided feedback
· 2 May 2019 where staff provided any further information requested in workshop 2 and reviewed the revised draft work programme.
14. This year’s work programme is a three year programme to clearly demonstrate the phasing of project delivery and to enable the organisation to prepare for delivery. The work programme is subject to a rolling review and each year the local board will be asked to approve a new three year work programme.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
15. Investment in the capital works programme will ensure that council facilities and open spaces in the Manurewa Local Board area remain valuable and well-maintained community assets.
16. The overall capital works programme includes projects for which the board has discretion to allocate budget, referred to as the local programme, and projects from regional programmes.
17. Specific projects within the work programme may have budget allocated from two or more budget sources, including budgets from both local and regional programmes.
18. The work programme includes both new projects and existing projects that have been continued from the previous financial year where those projects require multiple years for delivery (multi-year projects).
19. Any projects that have budget approved in the current 2018/2019 financial year, but are unable to be delivered this year, will be deferred. Deferred budgets will be added to the work programme at a later date.
Local Programme
20. The local programme includes those projects that the board is funding from its discretionary capex budgets, including:
· Renewals
The board can allocate its renewals budget towards the renewal of any council
owned asset.
· Locally Driven
Initiative (LDI)
The board has the discretion to allocate its LDI budget to any projects that
deliver a council asset or as a capital grant to a third party to deliver an
asset made available for public use.
21. In preparing recommendations for the local programme a number of matters have been considered, including:
· strategic documents (e.g. local board plan)
· service assessment input from Community Services
· asset condition assessments
· input from operational maintenance teams and staff working within facilities
· budget availability.
22. The Community Facilities work programme supports the achievement of the following 2017 Manurewa Local Board Plan priorities:
· A prosperous local economy supporting local people
· Manurewa is well-connected and easy to move around
· Our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment everywhere for the community
· People in Manurewa are actively connecting everywhere, every day
· We treasure our home, our community.
23. Other strategic documents of particular relevance have included The Manurewa Greenways Plan, Keith Park Strategic Assessment and Totara Park Masterplan. These have influenced recommendations in the programme through a number of projects.
24. The phasing of projects over various years has been required to meet budget requirements. In this regard careful consideration has been given to the delivery timing of, for example, Renew play spaces FY21/22 – Manurewa (including Gallaher Park), which has meant that Keith Park roading and car park project will be phased in later years.
25. The proposed work programme in Attachment A contains:
· number of projects excluding leases and contract lines over three years: 48
· indicative cost for proposed projects in the 2019/2020 financial year: $3,638,512.
Regional Programme
26. The Long-term Plan 2015 - 2028 includes budgets which support the delivery of regional programmes. These budgets are allocated to specific projects within a regional programme by the Governing Body.
27. Where budget is allocated to a project in the regional programme that falls within a local board decision making allocation (e.g. a local park), that project is included in the local board work programme. The local board then has decision making responsibility for that project, within the parameters set by the Governing Body, namely location, scope and budget.
28. Regional budgets include:
· Local parks and sports field development (growth)
· Coastal renewals
· Slips prevention and remediation.
29. Projects in these regional programmes are identified and prioritised based on consideration of a number of factors.
30. For the local parks and sports field development programme, this includes:
· extent to which residential growth is generating demand for the project
· current levels of provision
· available budget.
31. For coastal renewals and slips prevention and remediation this includes:
· asset condition
· relative hazard and risk
· available budget.
32. The allocation of budget to specific projects will be approved by the Environment and Community Committee in July 2019.
33. The board has an opportunity to provide formal feedback, through resolution to this report, for consideration by the Environment and Community Committee prior to approval of the regional programmes.
Cost estimates subject to change
34. Budget allocations within the work programme are best estimates only. Project costings are subject to change and refinement as projects progress through the design and delivery process. Greater clarity will be determined around the specific work required and the cost of delivery of that work once the details are defined.
35. The delivery of individual projects is managed within the overall work programme budget for each local board. Where significant changes to project budgets may need to be considered, or if new projects are added to the work programme, changes may be required to the programme to accommodate final project costs as the year progresses.
Risk adjusted programme
36. A number of projects have been identified in the work programme as “risk adjusted programme (RAP)” projects.
37. These are projects that have budget allocated in the 2020/2021 financial year (i.e. year two of the three year programme). Staff propose to commence work in the 2019/2020 year on the delivery of these risk adjusted projects.
38. By progressing these identified projects alongside the 2019/2020 projects in the programme, it is intended that, should projects identified for delivery in year one of the work programme be delayed for any reason, staff will be able to proceed with agreed alternative projects to ensure that the full annual budget is delivered each year.
39. Approval is sought from the board for staff to commence work on those projects identified in the work programme as risk adjusted programme projects in the 2019/2020 year.
Delegation for approval of changes to the work programme
40. The delivery of the proposed work programme in an efficient and timely manner may require amendments to be made to the agreed work programme during the course of the year. Such amendments could include:
· changes to project scope, budgets, timing
· addition of new projects within available budget
· cancelling or putting approved projects on hold.
41. Any changes to the approved work programme require approval from the board. Approval will normally be sought through resolution at a business meeting.
42. Local boards are also able to delegate authority to approve some or all amendments to the work programme to the chair, to another member of the board, or to staff. Such delegation would allow changes to be made without the timeframes required to provide formal reports and would support the efficient delivery of the work programme.
43. Should the board choose to delegate authority to approve changes to the work programme, it is anticipated that any changes would be workshopped with the board prior to any delegated decision being taken. Any changes made under delegation would be reported back to the board in quarterly reports.
44. Community leases, commonly on public parks and reserves, are a valuable way in which the council provides support to community organisations across the region. These groups provide a wide range of community activities and services aligned with recognised local priorities and are a key part of the mosaic of community activity and infrastructure in Auckland.
45. Attachment B – Community Leases provides a detailed list of the community leases and licences that will expire or are due for renewal over the 2019/2020 financial year. Following approval of the work programme staff will proceed with review and renewal of these leases and licences as appropriate during the course of the financial year.
46. Two additional project lines include those leases and licences proposed to be progressed in the 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 financial years respectively. It also includes the additional leases and licences that will be deferred from the 2018/2019 financial year to the 2019/2020 financial year.
47. Straight forward lease renewals without variations will be processed in accordance with agreed delegations with a written memo to the board providing the opportunity for the board to request further information or a formal report. More complex community leases will be reported to the board at a business meeting.
Operational maintenance work programme
48. The regular maintenance of all council-owned built and open space assets plays an important part in:
· increasing the long-term durability of Community Facilities assets
· improving the safety of Community Facilities assets
· ensuring the enjoyment of Community Facilities assets by the users.
49. In the 2019 - 2022 Community Facilities Work Programme, there are three line items dedicated to all maintenance in the local board area:
· Full Facilities Maintenance Contracts – these contracts include all buildings, parks and open space assets, sports fields, coastal management and storm damage response. From 1 July 2019 council is responsible for streetscapes maintenance from Auckland Transport.
· Arboriculture Maintenance Contracts – these contracts include all tree management and maintenance
· Ecological Restoration Maintenance Contracts – these contracts include pest plant management within ecologically significant areas and animal pest management across all parks and reserves.
50. Staff will be able to provide regular reporting on maintenance through monthly updates to the local boards and through the quarterly report. Community Facilities is also providing additional weekly updates to all elected members on contractor performance.
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
51. The 2019 - 2022 work programme has been developed in consultation with other council departments as part of the council’s integrated local board work programme approach. This approach aimed to improve the quality of advice for the local board through collaboration and understanding across departments.
52. In particular, the council’s Community Services: Parks, Sport and Recreation department were involved in the development of the majority of the projects.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
53. The Community Facilities Work Programme has been created through a combination of local board feedback, asset condition assessments and agreed levels of service.
54. The 2019 - 2022 Community Facilities Work Programme has been considered by the local board in a series of workshops from October 2018 to May 2019. The views expressed by local board members during the workshops have informed the recommended work programmes.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
55. The 2019 - 2022 Community Facilities Work Programme ensures that all facilities and open space assets continue to be well-maintained assets that benefit the local community, including Māori. When developing and delivering work programmes consideration is given to how the activities can contribute to Māori well-being, values, culture and traditions.
56. Where any aspects of the proposed work programme are anticipated to have a significant impact on sites of importance to mana whenua then appropriate engagement will be undertaken.
57. Staff are also attending mana whenua forum’s monthly to receive feedback on specific projects within the 2019 - 2022 Community Facilities Work Programme.

Context
6. The local board decides which activities to allocate its annual work programme budget to in order to achieve the outcomes set out in its 2017 local board plan.
7. The development of the 2019/2020 work programme has built on the approach piloted for 2018/2019, which enabled staff to work in a more integrated way across departments to improve local outcomes.

· Arts, Community and Events
· Community Facilities
· Libraries
· Infrastructure and Environmental Services
· Parks, Sports and Recreation
· Community Services - Service, Strategy and Integration.
9. Teams made up of representatives from these departments were established to explore shared priorities and objectives for each local board area, and to develop the work programme in a collaborative way in response to local board plan outcomes.

Analysis and advice
11. The local board provided feedback on proposed activities for the new financial year at a series of workshops between September 2018 and May 2019.
12. Initial workshops were an opportunity for the local board to communicate to staff its strategic direction. At subsequent workshops, the local board discussed its priorities for budget allocation and requested further scoping for existing and new activities.
14. The work programme is made up of approved activities from previous financial years, including annually occurring events or projects and ongoing programmes. It also includes new initiatives supported by the local board.
15. Budget is allocated to activities for the 2019/2020 financial year. If zero-dollars is shown this reflects that the project is able to be delivered in-house with no additional external technical advice and support.
16. Table two shows activities and allocated budget that are new in 2019/2020 or are significantly different to the 2018/2019 work programme.

Financial implications
26. Activities are funded from one or multiple budget sources which include: Asset Based Services (ABS) Opex; Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) Capex and Opex.
27. Each activity line has a budget allocation, which covers the delivery for the 2019/2020 period. Where activity lines show a zero-dollar budget, this reflects that the implementation costs are met through staff salary or other funding sources.
28. The community services LDI budget for the local board for the 2019/2020 financial year is $1,180,000.
29. Where activities are cancelled or no longer required, the local board can reallocate the budget to an existing work programme activity or to create a new activity.

Risks and mitigations
30. The key risks for activities that are managed through the work programme are non-delivery, time delays and budget overrun. The local board will be updated quarterly on delivery including highlighting any potential delays and budget implications.
31. As the work programme includes ongoing activity and annually occurring events or projects, the associated risks have been identified and managed in previous years. Additional risk management for these activities is ongoing and can be reported quarterly.
32. Risks and mitigations for new activity lines were considered during the scoping phase. There may be risks associated with trialling a new activity for the first year. These will be continually assessed and reported to the local board through quarterly reporting when required.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
33. Delivery of approved activities will commence at the beginning of the financial year, 1 July 2019 and progress will be reported to the local board for each quarter.
34. The work programme identifies further decisions and milestones for each activity, these will be brought to the local board when appropriate.

6. The draft work programme has a total value of $163,000 which can be funded from the board’s existing budgets for local environmental programmes.
Recommendation That the Manurewa Local Board: a) approve the allocation of $163,000 for environmental projects to be delivered by the Infrastructure and Environmental Services directorate in 2019/2020 as summarised in the table below:
|
Horopaki
Context
7. In late 2018, in alignment to its local board plan outcomes, the Manurewa Local Board provided strategic direction to staff in regards to the projects it would like to fund in the 2019/2020 financial year. The board noted its strong commitment to the environment, and noted its support for:
· improving water quality and stream environments
· reducing the impact of waste, especially illegal dumping, on the environment
· protecting habitat and improving biodiversity through restoration activities and pest management.
8. In response to the direction set by the board, Infrastructure and Environmental Services staff provided a draft local environment work programme for the board’s feedback at a workshop on 14 March 2019.
9. The board indicated its support in principle for the proposed projects with the exception of a healthy homes capacity building project. The board requested more information on the Manurewa Marae water sensitive design retrofit project, the Tōtara Park ecological restoration project and the Papakura Stream restoration planting project. This information was provided to the board ahead of its 2 May 2019 workshop where the board indicated its support for these projects.
10. Based on these workshop discussions, a total of eight local environmental projects to be funded from the board’s locally driven initiatives operational budget are proposed. These will be delivered by the Infrastructure and Environmental Services directorate as part of the board’s 2019/2020 local environment work programme. The draft work programme has been amended to reflect local board feedback and is included as Attachment A to this report.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
11. A brief description of each of the proposed projects for delivery as part of the board’s 2019/2020 local environment work programme is provided below. Further detail on these projects is provided in Attachment A.
Manurewa waste minimisation – $45,000
12. To achieve the local board plan objective ‘improved reduction in waste through recovery, reuse and recycling’, the board has indicated it would like to continue to fund community waste minimisation in the 2019/2020 financial year. The board has supported this project since 2017 and allocated $45,000 towards this project in the Manurewa Local Board local environment work programme in the 2018/2019 financial year (resolution MR/2018/96).
13. The purpose of this project is to grow a network of waste minimisation champions and to support residents to reduce their waste and book into the council’s inorganic collection service. Funding will enable door to door engagement with residents living in illegal dumping hotspot areas, and support for the development and implementation of community-led waste minimisation strategies. It is recommended that the board allocate $45,000 towards this project in 2019/2020.
Water quality testing programme at Manurewa beaches – $10,000
14. To achieve the local board plan objective ‘Manurewa’s local environment and biodiversity are protected for the future’, the board has indicated it would like to continue to fund a water quality testing programme in the 2019/2020 financial year. The board has supported water quality testing at Roys Road beach since 2017 and allocated a total of $8,690 towards an expanded water quality testing programme in the 2018/2019 financial year.
15. It is recommended that the board allocate $10,000 towards the water quality testing programme in 2019/2020. The purpose of this programme is to fund another season of weekly water quality testing at the following Manurewa beaches:
· St Anne’s Bay Beach
· Kauri Point Beach (Carnoustie Drive)
· Weymouth South Beach (Keith Park)
· Weymouth West Beach (Roys Road).
16. The water quality monitoring data will be used to improve existing water quality models of the two Weymouth beaches, and to gather sufficient information at St Anne’s Bay and Kauri Point to help determine provisional microbiological assessment category grades for these two beaches.
17. The analysis of the water quality monitoring results from the 2018/2019 summer season may recommend changes to the details of the 2019/2020 testing programme, such as additional wet weather testing. Any changes arising from the recommendations will be discussed with the board in quarter one, prior to implementation.
Manurewa Marae water sensitive design retrofit project – $25,000
18. To achieve the local board plan objective ‘Manurewa’s local environment and biodiversity are protected for the future’, the board has indicated it would like to continue to supporting Manurewa Marae to implement water sensitive projects in the 2019/2020 financial year.
19. In 2018/2019 the board allocated $5,000 toward a project that supported Manurewa Marae to develop an options report for making water sensitive design improvements on or near the marae site. The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board funded a similar project for the Papatūānuku Kōkiri Marae and Makaurau Marae, which are situated within their local board area.
20. Funding for the 2019/2020 financial year will be used to implement the recommended water sensitive design improvements identified in the options report. The priority recommendation is to install a rain tank on site with associated pump to utilise stormwater for use in some of the toilets located on the marae. It is recommended that the board allocate $25,000 towards this project in 2019/2020.
Puhinui Stream restoration – $15,000
21. To achieve the local board plan objective ‘Manurewa’s local environment and biodiversity are protected for the future’, the board has indicated it would like to continue supporting restoration work on the lower Puhinui Stream in the 2019/2020 financial year. The board has supported this project since 2017 and allocated $30,000 towards the continuation of this project in the 2019/2020 financial year.
22. Funding for the 2019/2020 financial year will enable the maintenance of existing plantings and bait stations networks that were installed over the last two financial years. It is recommended that the board allocate $15,000 towards this project in 2019/2020. Less budget is requested this financial year as the majority of planting and pest control was completed in 2018/2019.
Tōtara Park ecological restoration – $40,000
23. To achieve the local board plan objective ‘Manurewa’s local environment and biodiversity are protected for the future’, the board has indicated it would like to continue supporting restoration work on the upper Puhinui Stream in the 2019/2020 financial year. The board allocated $40,000 towards this project in the 2018/2019 financial year.
24. This will be the second year of board support for this project which connects native bush remnants and riparian plantings to create a resilient ecosystem within Tōtara Park. Funding will enable fencing and planting initiatives around the Puhinui Stream headwaters. It is recommended that the board allocate $40,000 towards the continuation of this project in 2019/2020 financial year.
Papakura Stream restoration (Manurewa) – $15,000
25. To achieve the local board plan objective ‘Manurewa’s local environment and biodiversity are protected for the future’, the board has indicated it would like to continue to support water quality and biodiversity improvements in rivers and streams in the local board area in the 2019/2020 financial year. This will be the second year of board support for this project to which the board allocated $15,000 towards in the 2018/2019 financial year.
26. Funding for the 2019/2020 financial year will be used for weed control and planting initiatives at Holmes Road Reserve to improve habitat and biodiversity in the Papakura Stream. This budget will also enable maintenance for plantings undertaken at Frangipani Avenue Reserve as part of the 2018/2019 Papakura Stream restoration project.
27. It is recommended that the board allocate $15,000 towards this project in the 2019/2020 financial year, noting that this budget does not include funding for future planting maintenance which will be requested in the next financial year.
Be a Tidy Kiwi litter prevention project – $5,000
28. To achieve the local board plan objective ‘improved reduction in waste through recovery, reuse and recycling’, the board has indicated it would like to continue to support a litter prevention initiative in the 2019/2020 financial year. This will be the second year of board support for this project to which the board allocated $5,000 towards in the 2018/2019 financial year.
29. This project will build upon the 2018/2019 litter prevention plan project and aims to reduce littering behaviour and support the Be a Tidy Kiwi campaign. Funding for the 2019/2020 financial year will be used to:
· install two Be a Tidy Kiwi signs at litter hotspot areas, such as local parks
· undertake one school engagement and litter clean up
· set up one pledge booth at a popular local event where people take a pledge to Be a Tidy Kiwi and put litter in its place.
30. It is recommended that the board allocate $5,000 towards the continuation of this project in the 2019/2020 financial year.
Manukau Harbour Forum – $8,000
31. To achieve the local board plan objective ‘Manurewa’s local environment and biodiversity are protected for the future’, the board has indicated that it would like to continue to fund the Manukau Harbour Forum in the 2019/2020 financial year. The board is one of nine local boards who make up the Manukau Harbour Forum (Franklin, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, Manurewa, Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, Ōtara-Papatoetoe, Papakura, Puketāpapa, Waitākere Ranges, and Whau Local Boards).
32. The board provided $8,000 towards the Manukau Harbour Forum’s work programme in the 2018/2019 financial year. It is recommended that the board allocate $8,000 of its locally driven initiatives operational budget towards the Manukau Harbour Forum in the 2019/2020 financial year. This budget will deliver several initiatives recommended by the forum and detailed below. In February 2018 the forum provided direction to staff to host a symposium every second year as opposed to annually. Staff have recommended a slightly reduced budget for 2019/2020 as funding for that activity is not needed next year.
33. At a workshop in May 2019, the forum indicated it would like to consider supporting the following initiatives in 2019/2020:
· youth leadership programme
· industry education programme
· communications campaign
· mana whenua engagement and support programme
· a part-time community and stakeholder liaison resource.
34. Detailed project options are being investigated by staff and will be presented to the forum for consideration early in the 2019/2020 financial year.
35. The forum funded a governance and management support review as part of its 2018/2019 work programme. At the time of writing this report, the review was still underway with findings due to be presented to the forum in July 2019. The findings of the review are expected to assist in making the forum’s work programme more strategic and governance oriented. These recommendations will have implications for the types of projects and initiatives to be funded by the member local boards in future financial years.
Additional project option (not supported): Healthy homes capacity building – $25,000
36. To achieve the local board plan outcome ‘our environment is a source of pride and enjoyment for the community’, staff proposed a healthy homes capacity building project for delivery in the 2019/2020 financial year.
37. The aim of this project was to support community-led capacity building initiatives to improve home performance and reduce carbon emissions. Funding would have been used to develop and deliver training workshops and mentoring for community groups already working with residents.
38. It was recommended that the board allocate $25,000 towards this project during the 2019/2020 financial year. At its 14 March 2019 workshop, the board indicated that it did not support the project due to other environmental priorities.
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
39. The draft 2019/2020 work programme has been developed in consultation with other council departments as part of the council’s integrated local board work programme approach. This approach aimed to improve the quality of advice for the local board through collaboration and understanding across departments.

Horopaki
Context
6. This report provides the local board with the proposed local economic development work programme for the coming financial year.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
7. The 2019/2020 local economic development work programme has been developed having regard to the local board’s priorities for local economic development set out in the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2017.
8. Auckland Business Chamber, on behalf of the Young Enterprise Trust, delivers the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) in Auckland. YES is a practical, year-long programme for year 12 and 13 students.
9. Fostering youth entrepreneurship is a key requirement for developing an innovative economy and creating employment pathways for our young people. Through the programme, students develop creative ideas into actual businesses, complete with real products and services and real profit and loss. Students learn key work skills and business knowledge including: business fundamentals, planning, interpersonal relations, financial, decision making, reporting, risk management and team work. YES helps create a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship amongst Auckland’s young people.
10. The funding from the local board will support the delivery of the overall YES programme, including the Kick Start days in February 2020. The Kick start days are held in sub-regions (North, South, East, Central/West) and are the first day students get to meet the Young Enterprise team, and find out about their 2020 year, what YES is about, and what is in store for them. All schools in the local board area that have shown an interest in YES are invited. In addition, the invitation is extended to those schools who have not shown an interest to enable them to make a decision as to whether to participate.
11. The Manurewa Local Board Plan 2017 identifies the Local Board’s wish to make the Manurewa town centre the heart of the community to create a centre where people choose to live, socialise and work.
12. In order to achieve this the local board has brought together a town centre steering group. The steering group is made up of the Manurewa Local Board Chair, Auckland Council family staff, the Manurewa Business Improvement District, and Southmall. It has an independent chair and draws upon consultant support as required.
13. The Manurewa Local Economic Development Action Plan 2015, identifies the need to continue to support the town centre steering group to enhance the vitality and viability of the Manurewa town centre (action 1.3).
14. The allocation of $80,000 towards town centre revitalisation implementation, will enable the continuation of the following activities:
· Facilitation and support of the Manurewa Town Centre Steering Group: Meeting the costs of continuing the steering group and associated consultant support and in addition the delivery of key projects identified by the town centre steering group in the forthcoming year.
· Support for Te Mahia Station work: meeting the costs of consultant support to enable the local board to ensure that the opportunities to enhance the station and other outcomes are maximised and delivered.
· Outcomes identified by other work in surrounding areas: Exact projects are to be identified but the opex budget can be used to fund studies or research that will support economic growth in the local board area. Some of these may be identified through the current Integrated Area Plan for the Manurewa-Takanini-Papakura corridor.
15. Outside the continuation of support for the town centre steering group the full scope of projects and initiatives will be drafted with the input of the local board and the town centre steering group.
16. The Pop-up Business School provides a free 10-day business school to provide education and support for local people interested in starting their own business. Previous Auckland events have had 50-60 attendees and have had positive results in terms of the numbers of businesses established. The course typically attracts people who may not ordinarily access business training with many participants being on some form of benefit or out of the labour market due to childcare responsibilities.
17. Events have been funded in partnership by adjacent local boards, Ministry of Social Development and ATEED, with each contributing a share of the total cost of $25,000 in the 2018/19 financial year plus venue costs. For 2019/2020 the cost of the Pop-up has increased to $30,000. ATEED and Ministry of Social Development are committed to providing further funding to help bring the Pop-up to different parts of Auckland in 2019/2020.
18. Promotion of the Pop-up Business School events will be targeted locally, and local residents will be prioritised for attendance to ensure local participation is in line with the share of the funding provided by local boards. In addition, for 2019/2020 ATEED will programme the Pop-up Business Schools well in advance and promote them jointly so that local people are made aware of when an event will take place near them, in order to increase local attendance. In 2018/2019 this was not possible as funding was not fully in place at the start of the financial year.
19. Supporting local residents by providing entrepreneurial training will increase the generation of local businesses and local employment opportunities.

Local impacts and local board views
21. The projects noted above align with the local board plan outcome 2 ‘A prosperous local economy supporting local people’.
22. The proposed local economic development work programme was workshopped with the local board on 14 March 2019, and a final draft was presented at the 2 May 2019 workshop.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
24. Māori students at participating schools will be able to benefit from the experience and learnings from the YES.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
25. The proposed 2019/2020 local economic development work programme will see the allocation of $89,500 of the board’s locally driven initiatives operating expenditure budget. This amount can be accommodated within the board’s total draft budget for 2019/2020.
26. The local economic development work programme progress will be reported directly to the local board as part of the quarterly local board work programme report produced by Local Board Services.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
27. There is a risk that the budget remains unspent if projects do not require the full amount allocated or following the decision of external partners to cancel or postpone a project.
28. The YES is low risk as this is a national programme delivered locally by the Chamber of Commerce.
29. The Pop-up Business School has run successfully before in the Whau Local Board area with Puketāpapa Local Board also providing a share of the funding. Each time the target number of registrations has been exceeded. The project is reliant on other local boards allocating funding. The planned number of events for 2019/2020 will need to be reviewed based on the funding allocated by local boards. However, ATEED and Ministry of Social Development funding contributions mitigate this risk.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
30. Following approval by the local board the Local Economic Development team at ATEED will begin to implement the programme from 1 July 2019. Where there is a need for further scoping of activities this will be undertaken and presented back to the local board as required.

Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The Governance Forward Work Calendar is a schedule of items that will come before the local board at business meetings and workshops over the next six months. The Governance Forward Work Calendar for the Manurewa Local Board is included in Attachment A.
3. The calendar aims to support local boards’ governance role by:
i) ensuring advice on agendas and workshop material is driven by local board priorities

iii) clarifying the rationale for reports.
4. The calendar will be updated every month, be included on the agenda for business meetings and distributed to relevant council staff. It is recognised that at times items will arise that are not programmed. Board members are welcome to discuss changes to the calendar.

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.

[1] The proposal may also meet the definition of a venue-for-hire. These facilities have similar characteristics to a small community centre but without an on-site manager or coordinated programming. The Community Facilities Network Plan states that the council will not build additional venues-for-hire.
[2] The study, The Manurewa and Manukau Central Community Needs Assessment 2016, found no need for a new community facility, instead recommending investment in existing facilities.
