Horopaki
Context
8. This report considers the new community lease to Manukau Racing Pigeon Club Incorporated for its building located at Mountfort Park, 25R Dr Pickering Avenue, Manurewa.
9. The Manurewa Local Board is the allocated authority relating to local, recreation, sport and community facilities, including community leasing matters.
Land, Building and Lease
10. The club holds an operative community lease over its building at Mountfort Park, Manurewa, described as Lot 1 Deposited Plan 115625, held in fee simple by Auckland Council as a classified recreation reserve and subject to the Reserves Act 1977.
11. The building is owned by the club who is responsible for all maintenance of the leased area.
12. The area proposed to be leased to the club consists of approximately 210 square meters (more or less) and is outlined in red on Attachment A.
Manukau Racing Pigeon Club Incorporated
14. The club has 43 registered members and is affiliated to The Auckland Racing Pigeon Federation (the federation) and the national organisation Pigeon Racing in New Zealand.
15. The premises is used by members for basketing the birds for racing. The federation also uses the premises for meetings, basketing and race results.
16. The club attends national races which allows its members the opportunity to participate and compete against members from outside the region.
17. The racing is divided into two seasons, a young bird programme generally raced from February to May, and an old bird programme between August and December. On race days, transport of racing birds to designated race points for liberation is mainly by road transport. Air transport is also used where small numbers are concerned.
18. The birds are liberated en masse at the race point and each bird will fly to its particular loft. The distance covered by each bird is calculated. The time taken for each bird to complete the race is measured by electronic timers, and the bird with the highest average speed (distance divided by time) is the winner.
19. The club supports the community by making its building available for hire to help and support initiatives and activities pertaining to the local community, sport clubs and community organisations. The club has submitted a comprehensive application in support of a new community lease.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
20. The club’s new lease application was assessed against the criteria contained in the Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012 and the priorities set by the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2017.
21. Under the guidelines, groups that own their own buildings have an automatic right to re-apply for a new lease at the end of their occupancy term, a right which the club is exercising. It is recommended that a new lease be granted to the club for a term of 10 years, with one right of renewal for a further term of 10 years, in accordance with the guidelines.
22. As the club’s lease is holding over on a month-by-month basis, a new lease term can commence from now.
23. Staff have determined that Manukau Racing Pigeon Club Incorporated meets the requirements under the guidelines to qualify for a new community lease as evidenced below. The club:
· is registered as an incorporated entity
· has complied with the terms of the operative lease
· caters to a well-defined group in the community and its services are well utilised
· is financially viable and sustains its activities predominantly through membership levies and building hireage
· is managed appropriately.
24. The building is owned by the club who are responsible for all maintenance within the leased area. A site visit undertaken in 2019 indicated that the building is maintained to a satisfactory standard.
25. The club has a scheduled maintenance programme for the upkeep of its building and general maintenance is undertaken by its members.
26. A community outcomes plan has been negotiated with the club that identifies the benefits the club will provide to the community. This will be attached as a schedule to the lease document.
Public Notification
27. As the club’s activity is not contemplated in a reserve management plan, staff are required to undertake public notification for public input on the use of the reserve, and submitters will have one month to make a submission or objection regarding the lease proposal.
Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
28. There is no impact on greenhouse gas emissions as the proposal does not introduce any new source of emissions.
29. Climate change impacts will need to be considered in any future planning for the area. While the leased area does not sit directly within a flood water (river or surface flooding) zone as a result of a 1‑in-100-year rainstorm event, other areas are within the zones (as shown below).
Manukau Racing Pigeon Club circled in red

31. The proposed new lease has no identified impact on other parts of the council group. The views of council-controlled organisations were not required for the preparation of this report’s advice.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
32. The assessment of the application was workshopped with the Manurewa Local Board on 13 February 2020. The local board provided informal support for the proposed new community lease to the club.
33. The recommendations in this report fall within local board’s allocated authority to grant leases within local community facilities in line with the Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012.
34. The recommendations within this report support the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2017 outcomes of:
· People in Manurewa are connecting actively everywhere and every day (Outcome 1).
35. The proposed lease will benefit the local community in enabling initiatives that promote the sport of pigeon racing, and the fostering of all matters pertaining to homing pigeons.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
36. Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi which are articulated in the council’s key strategic planning documents the Auckland Plan, the Long-term Plan, the Unitary Plan and local board plans.
37. An aim of community leasing is to increase targeted support for Māori community development. This proposal seeks to improve access to facilities for all Aucklanders, including Māori living in the Manurewa Local Board area.
38. The club promote participation of Māori through local programmes and this will form part of their community outcomes plan commitments.
39. Staff presented the proposed lease at the regional Mana Whenua Forum on Wednesday, 30 October 2019. There were no concerns raised by iwi at the forum. To fulfil the statutory requirements, staff emailed iwi representatives on Monday, 9 December 2019 allowing 20 working days to respond. There were no objections received. Iwi representatives will also have an opportunity to provide feedback during the public notification process.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
40. All costs involved in the preparation of lease documents are borne by Auckland Council.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
41. Should the Manurewa Local Board resolve not to grant a new community lease to Manukau Racing Pigeon Club Incorporated, it will inhibit the club’s ability to undertake its core activities which will have a negative impact on the local board outcomes.
42. Additionally, there is risk in relation to the building where council may be liable for an asset where budget is neither allocated nor identified in council’s key strategic planning documents.
43. The new lease affords the club’s security of tenure, enabling them to attend to the scheduled maintenance of its facility. If the lease is not granted, the club’s ability to maintain its building will be severely impacted.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
44. Subject to the local board’s approval, public notification to grant a new community lease to Manukau Racing Pigeon Club Incorporated will be undertaken. On completion of the public notification and subject to the resolution of any objections, staff will work with the club to finalise the lease documentation.

Local board feedback for inclusion in Auckland Council submissions
File No.: CP2020/03960
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To recommend that the Manurewa Local Board delegate authority to the local board chair to submit the local board’s formal views for inclusion in Auckland Council submissions to Central Government and other councils, where this feedback is due before a local board meeting.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. Central Government (and other councils) seek feedback through public consultation on bills, inquiries and other key matters. The consultation timeframes vary between four and eight weeks.
3. The Governing Body is responsible for making official submissions to Central Government on most matters except for submissions to government on legislation where it specifically relates to a local board area. Where the Governing Body decides to make an official submission on a Central Government matter, staff work to develop a draft submission for consideration by the Governing Body and will call for local board input so it can be incorporated. The Auckland Council submission needs to be approved within the consultation timeframes set by Central Government.
4. Local board input is required to be approved by the local board. Where local boards are unable to make these decisions at a local board meeting due to the constrained timeframes, another mechanism is required. In situations where local boards prefer not to use the urgent decision process, local boards sometimes provide informal feedback that is endorsed at the next business meeting. This is not considered best practice because the local board input can be challenged or changed at ratification or approval stage, which leads to reputational risk for the council.
5. In situations where timeframes don’t allow reporting to formal business meetings, staff recommend that the local board either uses the urgent decision process or delegates authority to the chair to approve and submit the local board’s input into Auckland Council submissions. Both options provide an efficient way to ensure that local board formal input is provided when external parties set submission deadlines that don’t allow formal input to be obtained from a local board business meeting.
Recommendation/s That the Manurewa Local Board: a) delegate authority to the chair to approve and submit the local board’s input into Auckland Council submissions on formal consultation from government departments, parliament, select committees and other councils. b) note that the local board can continue to use its urgent decision process to approve and submit the local board’s input into Auckland Council submissions on formal consultation from government departments, parliament, select committees and other councils, if the chair chooses not to exercise the delegation sought in recommendation (a). c) note that this delegation will only be exercised where the timeframes do not allow for local board input to be considered and approved at a local board meeting. d) note all local input approved and submitted for inclusion in an Auckland Council submission is to be included on the next local board meeting agenda for the public record. |
Horopaki
Context
7. Council submissions are the formal responses to the public consultation opportunities that are open to everyone, including all Aucklanders.
8. Under the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 the Governing Body must consider any views and preferences expressed by a local board, where a Governing Body decision affects or may affect the responsibilities or operation of the local board or the well-being of communities within its local board area.
9. Under the current allocation of decision-making responsibility, the Governing Body is allocated decision-making responsibility for “submissions to government on legislation including official submissions of Auckland Council incorporating local board views”. Local boards are allocated decision-making for “submissions to government on legislation where it specifically relates to that local board area only”.
10. Central Government agencies set the deadlines for submissions which are generally between four to eight weeks. These timeframes do not usually allow for formal reporting to local boards to input into the council submission. In situations where local boards prefer not to use the urgent decision process, local boards can sometimes provide informal feedback that is endorsed at the next business meeting. This is not considered best practice because the local board input can be challenged or changed at ratification or approval stage, which leads to reputational risk for council.
11. Providing a delegation for Central Government submissions provides local boards with another option to give formal local views within prescribed timeframes.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
12. There are five options available to local boards to approve their formal views and input on submissions to Central Government. Where this input is sought within a time constrained process and is due before a meeting of the local board, only four of these options will be available.
Table 1: Options for mechanisms through which the local boards can approve their formal views on Auckland Council submissions to Central Government and other councils
Options |
Pros |
Cons |
1. Local board input approved at a business meeting |
· Decision is made and adopted in a public meeting (transparency of decision making). · All local board members have the opportunity to make the formal decision. |
· Local board meeting schedules and agenda deadlines often don’t align with external agency deadlines. |
2. Local board input approved at an extraordinary meeting of the local board |
· Provides a mechanism for local boards to provide their formal views where submission deadlines do not align with local board meeting schedules. · Decision is made and adopted in a public meeting (transparency of decision making). · All local board members have the opportunity to make the formal decision. |
· Extraordinary meeting needs to be called by a resolution (requires anticipation by the local board) or requisition in writing delivered to the Chief Executive. The process usually requires a minimum of three clear working days. · There are additional costs incurred to run an unscheduled meeting. · It may be difficult to schedule a time when enough local board members can attend to achieve a quorum. |
3. Local board input approved using urgent decision mechanism (staff recommend this option) |
· It provides a mechanism for local boards to provide their formal views where submission deadlines do not align with local board meeting schedules. · Local board input can be submitted once the Chair, Deputy Chair and Relationship Manager have received the report providing the local board views and input. · The urgent decision needs the sign-off from two local board members (ie the Chair and Deputy Chair), rather than just one. |
· The decision is not made in a public meeting. It may be perceived as non-transparent decision-making because it is not made by the full local board. · Chair and deputy may not have time to properly consult and ascertain view of the full local board. |
4. Local board input approved by the chair who has been delegated authority from the local board (staff recommend this option where local boards choose not to use the urgent decision process) |
· It provides a mechanism for local boards to provide their formal views where submission deadlines do not align with local board meeting schedules and local boards don’t want to use the urgent decision process. · Local board input can be submitted as soon as possible after the local board views and input have been collated and discussed by the local board members. |
· Decision is not made in a public meeting. It may be perceived as non-transparent decision-making because it is not made by the full local board. · The chair who has the delegated authority may not have time to properly consult and ascertain views of the full local board. |
5. Local board input submitted and ratified at a later date |
· Local board informal input can be submitted as soon as possible after the local board views and input have been collated and discussed by the local board members. |
· Local board input submitted is considered to be the informal views of the local board until they are approved. · Local board input can be challenged or changed at ratification or approval stage. · Decision to ratify informal views, even if made in a public meeting, is unable to be changed in the council submission (can be perceived as non-transparent decision-making). · Inclusion of informal views in the Auckland Council submission will be at the discretion of the Governing Body. These may be included with caveats noting the views have not been ratified by the local board. · If the local board changes its views, there is a reputational risk for the council. |
13. Options one, two and three are already available to local boards and can be utilised as required and appropriate. Option one should always be used where timeframes allow reporting. Option four requires a delegation in order for a local board to utilise this mechanism and should be used only when timeframes don’t allow reporting to a business meeting.
14. Local boards who wish to utilise option four are requested to delegate to the chair as this fits within the leadership role of the chair and they are more likely to be available because the chair is a full-time role. The role of this delegated member will be to attest that the approved and submitted input constitutes the views of the local board. The input should then be published with the agenda of the next formal business meeting of the local board to provide transparency. The delegate may choose not to exercise their delegation if the matter is of a sensitive nature and is something that the full board should consider at a business meeting.
15. Each local board will be in charge of its own process for considering and developing their local board input that will be approved by the delegated member. This can include discussions at workshops, developing ideas in a small working group or allocating it to an individual member to draft.
16. Where local boards do not wish to delegate the views to the chair, the recommended option is to use the urgent decision mechanism (where deadlines don’t align with local board reporting timeframes). The mechanism requires a staff report and the decision to be executed by three people (the Chair, Deputy Chair and the Relationship Manager). Local board input can be submitted within one to two days after the local board views and input have been collated and discussed by the local board members.
17. Option five is not considered best practice and local boards are strongly discouraged from using this.
Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
18. This decision is procedural in nature and any climate impacts will be negligible. The decision is unlikely to result in any identifiable changes to greenhouse gas emissions.
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
19. This report proposes a delegation to ensure that staff can undertake the preparation of submissions in a timely manner, while receiving formal local board input on matters that are of local board importance.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
20. This report seeks to establish a specific delegation for the local board chair.
21. Any local board member who is delegated responsibilities should ensure that they represent the wider local board views and preferences on each matter before them.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
22. A decision of this procedural nature is not considered to have a positive or negative impact for Māori.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
23. A decision of this procedural nature is not considered to have financial implications on Auckland Council.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
24. If local boards choose to delegate to provide their formal views on Auckland Council submissions, there is a risk that this mechanism is perceived as non-transparent decision-making because it is not made by the full local board. This can be mitigated by publishing the submitted local board input on the next agenda.
25. There is also a risk that the chair who has the delegated authority may not have time to properly consult and ascertain views of the full local board. This can be mitigated by encouraging the local board to collectively discuss and agree their input before it is submitted by the member who has been delegated authority.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
26. On those occasions where it is required, the delegation will be used to approve and submit the local board’s input into Auckland Council submissions on formal consultation from government departments, parliament, select committees and other councils.
