Adoption of the  Franklin Local Board Agreement 2020/2021

File No.: CP2020/09291

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To adopt a Local Board Agreement 2020/2021 and a local fees and charges schedule for 2020/2021.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Each financial year, Auckland Council must have a local board agreement between the Governing Body and the local board, for each local board area.

3.       From 20 February to 21 March 2020, the council consulted on the Annual Budget 2020/2021 (annual plan) including local board priorities (consultation part 1). Local boards considered this feedback between 4 to 8 May 2020.

4.       From 29 May to 19 June 2020, the council carried out further consultation (part 2) on regional topics for the Emergency Budget 2020/2021 (the new name for this year’s annual plan) due to considerable pressure on the council’s financial position caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

5.       Local boards are now considering local content for the Emergency Budget 2020/2021, which includes a local board agreement and a local fees and charges schedule for 2020/2021.

6.       Normally the local board agreement would include a message from the chair, local board advocacy and other content. This year due to time constraints caused by COVID-19, the content of the Emergency Budget document, including the Local Board Agreements, is being reduced to only the parts that are a statutory requirement. This includes key projects, levels of service and performance measures, and Financial Impact Statement (FIS).

7.       On 30 July 2020, the Governing Body will meet to adopt Auckland Council’s Emergency Budget 2020/2021, including 21 local board agreements.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Franklin Local Board:

a)      adopt the Franklin Local Board Agreement 2020/2021, tabled at the meeting, (Attachment A).

b)      adopt a local fees and charges schedule for 2020/2021, tabled at the meeting, (Attachment B).

c)      delegate authority to the Chair to make any final minor changes to the Local Board Agreement 2020/2021.

d)      note:

i)        that Local Board Agreement 2020/2021 local activity budgets will be updated to reflect final budget decisions made by the Governing Body on 16 July 2020.

ii)       that the resolutions of this meeting will be reported back to the Governing Body when it meets to adopt the Annual Budget 2020/2021 on 30 July 2020.

 

 

Horopaki

Context

8.       Each financial year, Auckland Council must have a local board agreement between the Governing Body and the local board, for each local board area, outlining local priorities, budgets and intended levels of service. They are informed by the local board plans, which are strategic documents that are developed every three years to set a direction for local boards, by reflecting the priorities and preferences of the communities within the local board area. Local board plans can also provide a basis for local board feedback on regional content in the annual plan (Emergency Budget 2020/2021).

9.       Local board chairs have had the opportunity to attend Finance and Performance Committee workshops on key topics and provide local board views on the Emergency Budget 2020/2021 to the Finance and Performance Committee.

10.     From 20 February to 21 March 2020, the council consulted with the public on the Annual Budget 2020/2021 (consultation part 1). A hearing was held in the Franklin Local Board area to engage with the community and seek feedback on both regional and local proposals. Feedback was received through written and event channels.

11.     A report analysing the feedback on local board priorities, as well as feedback from those living in the local board area related to the regional topics from consultation part 1, was included on the 5 May business meeting agenda.

12.     Local boards considered this feedback, and their input on regional topics was reported to the Emergency Committee on 21 May 2020.

13.     From 29 May to 19 June 2020, the council carried out further consultation on regional topics for the Emergency Budget 2020/2021 (consultation part 2) due to considerable pressure on the council’s financial position caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

14.     A report analysing the feedback on the regional topics from consultation part 2 (Emergency Budget) was included on the 7 July business meeting agenda.

15.     Local boards considered this feedback, and then the local board chairs held discussions with the Finance and Performance Committee on 14 July 2020 on regional proposals in the Emergency Budget. The local board input was also reported to the Finance and Performance Committee on 16 July 2020

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

16.     Both staff and the local board have reviewed the feedback received on the Emergency Budget 2020/2021 from both consultations and local boards have received reports analysing the feedback. It is now recommended that local boards adopt a Local Board Agreement 2020/2021 (Attachment A), and a local fees and charges schedule for 2020/2021 (Attachment B).

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

17.     The decisions recommended in this report are procedural in nature and will not have any climate impacts themselves.

18.     Some of the proposed projects in the Local Board Agreement may have climate impacts. The climate impacts of any projects Auckland Council chooses to progress with will be assessed as part of the relevant reporting requirements.

19.     Some of the proposed projects in the Local Board Agreement will be specifically designed to mitigate climate impact, build resilience to climate impacts, and restore the natural environment.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

20.     Local boards worked with council departments to develop their local board work programmes for 2020/2021 that will be adopted at August business meetings. The local board work programmes help inform the local board agreements.

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

Local impacts and local board views

21.     This report seeks local board adoption of its content for the Emergency Budget 2020/2021 and other associated material, including the Local Board Agreement 2020/2021.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

22.     Many local board decisions are of importance to and impact on Māori. Local board agreements and the annual plan (Emergency Budget 2020/2021) are important tools that enable and can demonstrate the council’s responsiveness to Māori. 

23.     Local board plans, which were developed in 2017 through engagement with the community including Māori, form the basis of local priorities. There is a need to continue to build relationships between local boards and iwi, and where relevant the wider Māori community.

24.     Of those who submitted on the consultation part 1 including local board priorities from the Franklin Local Board area, 7% (7 total) identified as Māori. Of those who submitted on the consultation part 2 (on the Emergency Budget 2020/2021, 7% (49) identified as Māori. No iwi entities from the Franklin Local Board rohe made submissions on Franklin Local Board priorities through either consultation.

25.     Ongoing conversations will assist local boards and Māori to understand each other’s priorities and issues. This in turn can influence and encourage Māori participation in the council’s decision-making processes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

26.     The local board agreement includes the allocation of locally driven initiatives (LDI) funding and asset-based services (ABS) funding to projects and services for the 2020/2021 financial year.

27.     LDI funding is discretionary funding allocated to local boards based on the Local Board Funding Policy, which local boards can spend on priorities for their communities. Local boards can also utilise LDI funding to increase local levels of service if they wish to do so.

28.     Funding for asset-based services (ABS) is allocated by the Governing Body to local boards based on current levels of service to run and maintain local assets and services including parks, pools and recreation facilities, community facilities, and libraries.

29.     Local boards have the decision-making and oversight responsibility in respect of local fees and charges within parameters set by the Governing Body. A local fees and charges schedule for Active Recreation, Community Venues for Hire (including Library rooms for hire) for 2020/2021 is adopted alongside the Local Board Agreement. The fees and charges have been formulated based on region-wide baseline service levels and revenue targets. Where fees and charges are amended by a local board that results in lower revenue for the council, the shortfall will need to be made up by either allocating LDI funds or reducing expenditure on other services to balance overall budgets. 

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

30.     Decisions on the local content of the Emergency Budget 2020/2021, including the Local Board Agreement 2020/2021 and a local fees and charges schedule for 2020/2021, are required by 24 July 2020 to ensure the Governing Body can adopt the Emergency Budget 2020/2021 at its 30 July 2020 meeting.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

31.     The resolutions of this meeting will be reported to the Governing Body on 30 July 2020 when it meets to adopt the Annual Budget 2020/2021, including 21 local board agreements.

32.     Minor changes may need to be made to the attachments before the Emergency Budget 2020/2021 is adopted, such as correction of any errors identified and minor wording changes. Staff therefore recommend that the local board delegates authority to the Chair to make minor final changes if necessary.

33.     Local board agreements set the priorities and budget envelopes for each financial year. Work programmes then detail the activities that will be delivered within those budget envelopes. Work programmes will be agreed between local boards and operational departments at business meetings in August 2020.

July 2020 - Auckland Transport monthly update report to the Franklin Local Board

File No.: CP2020/08774

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To update the Franklin Local Board (FLB) about transport related matters in this area including its Local Board Transport Capital Fund.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       No decision is required this month. This report contains information about the following:

·     Information about the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF).

·     Information about Auckland Transport local and regional projects and activities.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Franklin Local Board:

a)      receive the report entitled ‘July 2020 - Auckland Transport monthly update report to the Franklin Local Board’.

 

 

Horopaki

Context

3.       Auckland Transport (AT) is responsible for all of Auckland’s transport services, excluding state highways. We report on a monthly basis to local boards, as set out in our Local Board Engagement Plan. This monthly reporting commitment acknowledges the important engagement role local boards play in the governance of Auckland on behalf of their local communities. 

4.       This report updates the local board on AT projects and operations in the Franklin Local Board area. It summarises consultations and Traffic Control Committee decisions and includes information on the status of the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) and Community Safety Fund (CSF).

5.       The LBTCF is a capital budget provided to all local boards by Auckland Council and delivered by AT. Local boards can use this fund to deliver transport infrastructure projects they believe are important to their communities but are not part of AT’s work programme. Projects must also:

·    be safe

·    not impede network efficiency

·    be in the road corridor (although projects in parks can be considered if there is a transport outcome).

6.       AT’s Community Safety Fund (CSF) sits within AT’s safety budget so the major component of the funding allocation formula is the number of Deaths and Serious Injuries (DSI) in a local board area. The purpose of the fund is to allow local communities to address long-standing road safety issues that have yet to become regional priorities and have not been addressed by AT.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF)

7.       Council’s original resolutions relating to the Local Board Transport Capital Fund make it very clear that the overall budget allocation for the LCTCF is on the basis that ‘it can be managed by Auckland Transport within its annual budget’. While council’s budget allocation to Auckland Transport will only be finalised when the Emergency Budget is adopted, current indications are that Auckland Transport’s capital budget will be significantly constrained. This being the case, it is highly likely that there will be a negative impact on the Local Board Transport Capital Fund.

8.       Until the final budget is complete Auckland Transport will not be able to advise local boards on the funds available in the Local Board Transport Capital Fund. This may have an impact on progressing potential projects.

9.       Auckland Transport will update local boards on the status of the Local Board Transport Capital Fund as soon as decisions around the budget are finalised.

 

Community Safety Fund (CSF)

10.     The Community Safety Fund is funded from Auckland Transport’s safety budget and is dependent on the level of funding Auckland Transport receives from council. Current indications are that this level of funding will be significantly constrained. Public consultation and the design work informed by this consultation is progressing, with a view to having projects designed and ready to go when money becomes available.

 

Responses to Resolutions

11.     The most recent AT related resolution of the Franklin Local Board is recorded below in bold font, with the Auckland Transport response directly below.

Resolution number FR/2020/47

 

b)      requests the inclusion of patronage statistics for the Pukekohe-Waiuku bus and Beachlands/Maraetai bus and ferry in each monthly update.

A request for the relevant information has been made, though at the time of the writing of this report, this information had not yet been made available. This information will be provided in the August report to the local board.

Local Projects and activities

Tourist Road-Monument Road intersection electronic warning signage

12.     Prior to the previous business meeting on the 16th June 2020, communication to the local board was that this project was still being progressed. Since that meeting, it now appears that delivery will be impacted by current financial constraints.

13.     A firm update to local boards on the status of this project will be provided as soon as decisions around the budget are finalised.

Road Closures due to storm event

14.     On the evening of 24 June 2020, a 1 in 50-year storm event occurred in the Clevedon area, resulting in the closure of Hunua Rd due to a slip. Traffic management was put in place, with Hunua Road reopened by 3pm on Saturday 27 June 2020.

15.     West Rd was also closed due to flooding and reports of flooding on Ara-Kotinga Rd, John Hill Road, Peach Hill Road, Sky High Road, and Cowan Road were also received. We worked with our contractors to resolve these issues as quickly as possible to minimise disruption to local residents and commuters.

Regional Impacts

COVID-19 update: Transport in Auckland under Alert Level 1

 

16.     The Government has announced that New Zealand has moved to Alert Level 1. This means Auckland Transport services are largely returning to normal operations.

17.     The Government has advised the general rule for Alert Level 1 is that COVID-19 is contained in New Zealand but still uncontrolled overseas. This means that it is still important for Aucklanders to be prepared and to be vigilant. If someone is feeling sick, they should stay home. They should not go to work or school and not socialise if they are showing symptoms of COVID-19 or are awaiting a COVID-19 test result.

18.     Though Alert Level 1 means public transport can return to normal capacity levels due to physical distancing requirements being removed, the Government is asking everyone to keep track of where they have been and who they have seen to assist with quick contact tracing should a new case appear. To help with this recommendation, AT customers using a registered AT HOP card are able to take note of their travel history on public transport by checking their transaction history on the AT Mobile app, or on our website at www.AT.govt.nz/myat.

19.     The Government is also asking everyone to continue with public health measures that were encouraged under all Alert Levels such as washing your hands frequently, coughing into your elbow and avoiding touching your face as much as possible.

AT’s Vision Zero road safety goal – any road death or injury is unacceptable

20.     New data shows that in 2019, 40 people died on our roads and an additional 567 were seriously injured. Auckland Transport’s executive general manager of safety, Bryan Sherritt, says the sobering data shows that we must do better.

21.     “Auckland is a Vision Zero region and no one should lose their life or get seriously injured simply moving around the city.”

22.     “Although 14 lives were saved, and 42 serious injuries prevented in 2019 on Tāmaki Makaurau roads compared to 2018, 40 people tragically lost their lives and 567 people were seriously injured. The lives of the loved ones of these 40 people will never be the same again. This is simply unacceptable.”

23.     “This is why Auckland Transport (AT) must continue to work hard to keep everyone safe. On 30 June, some roads around Auckland had their speed limit reduced as part of the Speed Limits Bylaw 2019.”

24.     Mr Sherritt says the speed limit changes are one piece of the puzzle in AT’s commitment to make the road safer for all Aucklanders - whether they are travelling by vehicle, public transport, scooter, bike, or on foot.

25.     Most of the safer speed changes are in the Waitematā, Rodney and Franklin Local Board areas, along with changes to approximately 100 other roads in Auckland.

26.     “We must all work together in our commitment towards making our roads safer,” says Mr Sherritt.

27.     “When you see the new speed limit signs around Auckland, take care and follow these safer speed limits. If we work together, we can make sure that our loved ones come home to us each night.”

28.     To find out where the speeds changed on 30 June, follow the link to our website: https://at.govt.nz/speed 

New trains on the tracks

29.     The first two of Auckland’s new trains are now up and running. Trains AM 810 and AM 836 have been rolled out on the Onehunga Line.

30.     Thirteen more trains are on order from Spain.  All 15 new trains are built by the same company which built the original 57 Auckland trains, Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF).

31.     The new trains mean more six-car trains can operate during peak periods and they will help with increasing demand as we return to business as usual across the city.

32.     While the new trains look similar to what Aucklanders are used to, there are some small differences. The carpets and lino are darker and there is change to the door operation to reduce the wait time at stations

33.     All 15 trains should arrive during this year but delivery times may be affected by COVID-19.  

34.     For more on the trains: https://at.govt.nz/projects-roadworks/electric-trains/#

Puhinui Station Interchange main works contract awarded

 

35.     Auckland Transport continues to play its role in helping the economy recover, with new local employment opportunities following confirmation of the Puhinui Station Interchange main works contract.

36.     McConnell Dowell and the Built Environs joint venture has been awarded the contract to complete the project, which follows on from their early works contract for a total construction award value of $46.6 million.

37.     Although Covid-19 has pushed the completion date out to the second quarter of 2021, the project is still progressing quickly, with a number of key milestones reached in the past few months including the installation of foundations, columns and lift shafts for the station.

38.     The next key milestones will be the installation of the concourse bridge deck, stairs and the steel superstructure over the coming months.

39.     The Puhinui Station Interchange is being delivered in stages, with the current stage an early improvement within the Airport to Botany Rapid Transit project. This project is led by Auckland Transport and forms part of the wider Southwest Gateway programme.

40.     The Southwest Gateway programme involves Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, Auckland Transport and Auckland Airport working together to deliver transport projects that will improve access to the airport and its surrounding area to benefit workers, travelers, tourists and freight movements.

41.     For more information please visit: www.at.govt.nz/PuhinuiStation

Climate impact statement

43.     AT engages closely with Council on developing strategy, actions and measures to support the outcomes sought by the Auckland Plan 2050, the Auckland Climate Action Plan and Council’s priorities.

44.     AT’s core role is in providing attractive alternatives to private vehicle travel, reducing the carbon footprint of its own operations and, to the extent feasible, that of the contracted public transport network.

Stage 4 involves the extension of Jonah Lomu Drive further north to provide access to the relocated Paerata School. Stage 5 involves the formation and vesting of some new local streets to the west of Jonah Lomu Drive.

Circulated to the local board on 25 March 2020.

The local board feedback noted its disappointment and concern at the narrow size of the roads, lack of on-street parking and design of the provided parking bays within the subdivision. They also reflected concerns about congestion being exacerbated by the school. In the absence of public transport and parking provision, there will be increased risk to children’s safety at drop-off/ pick-up times.

 

The local board also reflected the need for greater provision of on-street parking (noting the relatively small area of angle parking some distance from the school) closer to the school site, or guarantees that the school site will have significant off-street parking provision. The extent of no stopping at all times is concerning but acknowledge that it is required due to the narrow street design. Overall, the local board were uncomfortable with the proposal.

 

The response from the consultant was that the developer shares the local boards views, but the scope of the current consultation is restricted to the traffic controls that Grafton Downs is required to install and does not extend to other design aspects. Due in part to the feedback the board has made on traffic resolutions in previous stages, the future stages that are currently being designed and consented have slightly wider local streets.

The width and design of the streets for these stages was determined some time ago. Council and

Auckland Transport approved the design of the streets and construction of these streets is well underway. The developer is required by Council to install traffic controls such as parking restrictions prior to completing the subdivision, and the controls shown on the drawing are in accordance with the design approved by Council. As part of the resolution process the consultant is working with parking specialists from Auckland Transport to maximise the supply of on-street parking by minimising the parking restrictions while still allowing for safe and efficient operation.

 

In the case of the new Paerata School site, the Ministry of Education is responsible for ensuring that the effects of the school, including effects on road safety and parking, are adequately addressed. At many new and redeveloped school sites in Auckland on-site space is dedicated for staff parking and for child drop-off and pick-up, so the expectation is that the Ministry should provide space within the school site for this purpose.

Financial implications

53.    The proposed decision of receiving the report has no financial implications.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

54.     Auckland Council is currently consulting on its Emergency Budget 2020/2021 and we will have more certainty on the impacts to the AT programme when the budget is adopted in July.

55.     Our capital and operating budgets are likely to be reduced through this process. Some projects we had planned for 2020/2021 may not be able to be delivered, which will be disappointing to communities that we had already engaged with. Both the Community Safety Fund and the Local Board Transport Capital Fund will be impacted by these budget reductions.

56.     The only way to mitigate this risk is to clearly communicate the board’s intentions so staff supporting it may plan ahead, and to make the best use of any available funds.

Next steps

57.     AT will provide an update report to the local board next month.

Statement of proposal to amend the Alcohol Control Bylaw

File No.: CP2020/08940

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek support on the statement of proposal to amend the Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Te Ture a Rohe Whakararata Waipiro 2014 / Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 before it is finalised for public consultation.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       To enable the local board to provide its views on the statement of proposal to amend the Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Te Ture a Rohe Whakararata Waipiro 2014 / Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014, staff have prepared a draft proposal.

3.       The draft proposal would continue to enable council to make alcohol bans in certain public places to reduce crime and disorder caused or made worse by alcohol consumed there.

4.       The main proposals are to include new temporary alcohol bans for major events at Mount Smart Stadium, Western Springs Stadium, Eden Park and Auckland Domain, and to make the Bylaw easier to read and understand.

5.       Staff recommend that the local board provide its views on the draft proposal.

6.       There is a reputational risk that the draft proposal or the local board’s views do not reflect the views of people in the local board area. This risk would be partly mitigated by future public consultation processes. The local board will have an opportunity to consider any public feedback and provide formal views to a Bylaw Panel prior to the final decision.

7.       The local board’s views will be provided to the Regulatory Committee on 1 September 2020 who will recommend a statement of proposal for public consultation to the 24 September Governing Body meeting. Public consultation is scheduled for October 2020, Bylaw Panel deliberations for March 2021, and a final decision by the Governing Body for April 2021.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Franklin Local Board:

a)      support the draft statement of proposal in Attachment A of this agenda report to amend the Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 for public consultation.

 

Horopaki

Context

The Alcohol Control Bylaw enables council to make alcohol bans in public places

8.       The Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Te Ture a Rohe Whakararata Waipiro 2014 / Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 (Bylaw) aims to reduce crime or disorder in certain public places caused or made worse by alcohol consumed there.

9.       The Bylaw achieves this by providing a framework that enables alcohol bans to be made by resolution of the relevant delegated authorities – the Regulatory Committee, Auckland Domain Committee or local boards. Alcohol bans are enforced by the New Zealand Police.

The Regulatory Committee have decided to amend the Alcohol Control Bylaw

10.     The Regulatory Committee requested staff commence the process to amend the Bylaw on 9 May 2019 (REG/2019/28). The process leading to this decision is summarised below.

11 April 2019

(REG/2019/19)

Regulatory Committee endorsed the statutory bylaw review findings that:

·   a bylaw about the consumption or possession of alcohol in public places is still the most appropriate way to address crime or disorder in certain public places caused or made worse by alcohol consumed there

·   the current Bylaw does not give rise to any implications under, and is not inconsistent with, the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990

·   the current Bylaw structure and wording could be improved.

9 May 2019

(REG/2019/28)

Regulatory Committee instructed staff to draft an amended Bylaw (Option two) after considering four options:

·    Option one: status quo – retain Bylaw that makes alcohol bans by resolution

·    Option two: amend the current Bylaw – improve the status quo

·    Option three: replace the current Bylaw – new bylaw that contains all alcohol bans

·    Option four: revoke Bylaw – no bylaw and instead rely on other existing methods.

Staff prepared a proposal in line with decisions of the Regulatory Committee

11.     Staff have prepared a draft statement of proposal (draft proposal) to implement the decision of the Regulatory Committee to amend the Bylaw (Attachment A).

12.     The draft proposal includes the reasons and decisions leading to the proposed amendments and a comparison between the existing and amended bylaws.

The local board has an opportunity to provide its views on the proposal 

13.     The local board now has an opportunity to provide its views on the draft proposal in Attachment A by resolution to the Regulatory Committee before it is finalised for public consultation.

14.     For example, the local board could support the draft proposal for public consultation, recommend changes before it is finalised, or defer comment until after it has considered public feedback on the proposal.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

The draft proposal makes improvements to the current alcohol control bylaw

15.     The draft proposal seeks to improve the use of alcohol bans for major events[1] and make the Bylaw easier to read and understand. The table below summarises the proposed changes.

Summary of proposed changes to the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014

Proposals

Reasons for proposals

·    Make new event-based temporary alcohol bans for all major events at Mount Smart Stadium, Western Springs Stadium, Eden Park and Auckland Domain in the Bylaw.:

·    The new event-based temporary alcohol bans will replace existing event-based temporary alcohol bans made by resolution[2]  for Mount Smart Stadium, Eden Park and Auckland Domain for ‘Christmas in the Park’ and the Lantern Festival. Changes to these existing resolutions would:

for Mount Smart Stadium extend the ban to apply to all major events, not just concerts

for Eden Park extend the ban to include Eden Park stadium, and two fan trails if they are activated as part of the event[3]

for Auckland Domain extend the ban to all major events (not just the Lantern Festival) and extend the times of the ban to start one hour earlier and finish one hour later.

The ban for the Auckland Domain ‘Christmas in the Park’ event would remain unchanged.

·    Replace with a related information note clauses about alcohol ban signage, and clauses about legislative decision-making criteria.

·    Clarify exceptions to alcohol bans for licensed premises and the transport of alcohol, council’s ability to make temporary alcohol bans and Bylaw wording.

Including new event-based temporary alcohol bans made in the Bylaw:

·    more easily enables a preventative approach to alcohol-related crime or disorder at or near event venues used for major events

·    removes time and cost to process individual requests for event-based temporary alcohol bans where:

the event venue has in the past, is currently, and will in the future be used for major events

a ban has been used in the past for major events at the event venue.

·    creates more consistent event-based temporary alcohol ban times and application.

Replacing some clauses with related information notes and providing clarifications:

·    removes provisions that are unnecessary to state in the Bylaw but are useful as extra information

·    provides rules that are easier to read and understand.

The draft proposal complies with statutory requirements

16.     The draft proposal has been prepared in accordance with statutory requirements and best practice drafting guidelines:

·    The proposed inclusion of event-based temporary alcohol bans for major events at certain venues in the Bylaw is a reasonable limitation on people’s rights and freedoms because the bans only apply temporarily to a limited area for large scale events.

·    The amended Bylaw is a more appropriate form of bylaw because the inclusion of event-based temporary alcohol bans for major events at certain venues enables a preventative approach to alcohol-related crime or disorder.[4] The amended Bylaw would also be easier to read and understand.

·    The amended Bylaw has no implications under, and is not inconsistent with, the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (the Act). There are potential limitations to freedoms protected by the Act of expression, peaceful assembly, movement, security against unreasonable search and seizure, and to not be arbitrarily arrested. These limitations are justified because alcohol bans help prevent harm to the public, and because council’s ability to make alcohol bans is subject to legislative criteria which ensures any ban is justified, appropriate and proportionate.

Staff recommend the local board consider providing its views on the proposal

17.     Staff recommend that the local board consider the draft proposal and whether it wishes to provide its views to the Regulatory Committee.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

18.     There are no implications for climate change arising from this decision.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

19.     The draft proposal impacts the operation of units across the council group involved in events, processing alcohol ban requests and alcohol ban signage. Those units are aware of the impacts of the proposal and their implementation role.

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

Local impacts and local board views

20.     The Bylaw is important to local boards as they have the delegated authority to make local alcohol bans, and because alcohol bans help to improve public safety in their local areas.

21.     The main view of local board members during the bylaw review was to retain local board decision-making authority for local alcohol bans. The proposal supports this by retaining the current decision-making authority. The process for the local board to make alcohol bans by resolution will remain the same.

22.     The local board has an opportunity in this report to provide its views on the proposal to the Regulatory Committee.

23.     The local board will also have further opportunity to provide its views to a Bylaw Panel on any public feedback to the proposal from people in the local board area.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

24.     The Bylaw has significance for Māori as users and kaitiaki / guardians of public space. Māori are also over-represented in alcohol-related hospital visits, the criminal justice system and as victims of crime.

25.     Māori health advocacy organisations, Te Puni Kōkiri and the Maunga Authority support the use of alcohol bans as a tool to reduce alcohol-related harm.

26.     The draft proposal supports this view by retaining the ability for council to use alcohol bans.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

27.     There are no financial implications to the local board for any decision to support the draft proposal for public consultation. The Governing Body at a later date will consider any financial implications associated with public notification and signage.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

28.     There is a reputational risk that the draft proposal or the local board’s views do not reflect the views of people in the local board area. This risk would be partly mitigated by future public consultation processes. The local board will have an opportunity to consider any public feedback and provide its formal views to a Bylaw Panel prior to the final decision.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

29.     Staff will present a proposal and any local board views to the Regulatory Committee on 1 September 2020. The next steps are shown in the diagram below.

Approval for two new private road names at 741 & 801 Paerata Rise, Pukekohe, by Grafton Downs Limited

File No.: CP2020/08846

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek approval from the Franklin Local Board to name two new private roads, being two commonly owned access lots (COAL), created by way of a subdivision development known as Paerata Rise, at 741 & 801 Paerata Rise, Pukekohe, by Grafton Downs Limited.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Auckland Council’s road naming guidelines set out the requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming across the Auckland Region.

3.       The applicant, Chris Johnston of Grafton Downs Limited, has proposed the names presented in the table below for consideration by the local board.

4.       Any of the six 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. All technical standards are met and the names are not duplicated anywhere else in the region. Mana Whenua were also consulted.

5.       The proposed names for the two new private roads at 741 & 801 Paerata Rise, Pukekohe, are:

Recommendation/s

That the Franklin Local Board:

a)      approve two (2) names for the following new private roads (commonly owned access lots) within stages 2 and 5 of the Paerata Rise subdivision at 741 & 801 Paerata Rise, Pukekohe, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent reference SUB60338930 and BUN60338879):

I)   COAL 504 (Paerata Rise Stage 2): Heaphy Lane

II)  COAL 1 (Paerata Rise Stage 5): Routeburn Lane

 

Horopaki

Context

6.       Paerata Rise is a large-scale housing development owned by Grafton Downs Limited, set across 286ha of land surrounding Wesley College in Paerata, Auckland. The development will ultimately provide for 4500- 5000 new homes over a 10-year period, with 1000 proposed for the first stage of development, which is already underway.

7.       There are over 200 new roads within the development that require naming, and the Franklin Local Board have already approved names for many of those roads, including; ‘Puhitahi Hill Road’, ‘Jonah Lomu Drive’, ‘Walter Lawry Road’, ‘Lauti Lane’, ‘Buddle Road’, ‘Winstone House Road’, ‘School House Road’, ‘Simmonds House Road’, ‘Te Paea Avenue’, ‘Stanton House Road’, ‘Kenilorea Road’, ‘Hiwi Tauroa Road’, ‘Wesleyan Street’ and ‘Fetter Lane’.

8.       Road names have been drawn from many themes, including those that acknowledge the history of the land, Wesley College, the Methodist Church, and many that have been sourced from mana whenua involved in the development - especially for public roads.

9.       Due to the volume of roads that require names within this development, broader themes are deemed acceptable for minor roads because so many locally sourced names have already been provided in the wider development.

10.     The two minor private roads that are the subject of this report are commonly owned access lots that will remain in private ownership; COAL 504 from Stage 2 of the development and COAL 1 from Stage 5.

11.     In accordance with the National Addressing Standards for road naming (AS/NZS 4819-2011), these two COALs require road names because they each serve more than five lots.

12.     Site and location plans of the development and the two COALs can be found in Attachments A and B respectively, wherein it can be seen that the roads are minor in comparison to the scale of the development.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

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

14.     Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically require that road names try to reflect local themes, with the use of Māori names being actively encouraged. Themes can include:

-   a historical, cultural, or ancestral linkage to an area;

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

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

15.     Themes: The volume of new road names required in this development has meant that the pool of ‘locally themed’ names has become more limited over time. Whilst the subject proposed names are not strictly ‘local’, numerous other roads already approved within the development are ‘locally themed’ and have been extensively researched. It is therefore considered acceptable to include names relating to famous New Zealand walking tracks, and native flora and fauna, as although these are not strictly ‘local’ they still reflect the road naming criteria in terms of paying homage to landscape, environmental and biodiversity themes.

16.     Furthermore, the theme of national pride has been drawn upon by the developer. ‘Jonah Lomu Drive’ has already been approved by the Franklin Local Board for this development and is a name that New Zealanders can connect with on a national scale. The road name is being mentioned in TV marketing advertisements as the flagship road for the development. Since Jonah’s career is often connected with feelings of national pride, the developer has drawn on this theme to come up with the names ‘Heaphy Lane’ and ‘Routeburn Lane’, as these are famous walking tracks that are also a source of pride for New Zealand.

17.     The road naming guidelines encourage the use of Māori names, therefore the developer’s other proposed road name options are Te Reo names for native flora and fauna. These names represent New Zealand’s unique environment and native ecology which is also part of our national pride.

18.     Chris Johnston of Grafton Downs Limited (who is also General Secretary of Wesley College Trust Board) has made the following comments regarding the theme and context of the names: “in the entire project of developing Paerata Rise we will need around 200 road names. We have sought names from the Methodist Church, Wesley Historical Society, Te Taha Maori, Kingiitanga, Wesley College, the bible, native trees and birds, and our historical assessment. We continue to request more names for our road naming toolbox and welcome any suggestions”.

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

Table 2: Paerata Rise Proposed Road Name Meanings

COAL 504 (Stage 2) Proposed Names

Meaning

Heaphy Lane

(Applicant’s Preferred Name)

The Heaphy track is a famous tramping track in the north west of the South Island of New Zealand. It is located within the Kahurangi National Park and classified as one of New Zealand’s Great Walks by the Department of Conservation.

Tutu Court

Tutu is a common name of Māori origin for a native shrub in the genus Coriaria found throughout New Zealand, particularly along stream banks and in regenerating native bush. It has purple-black fruit that hang in long strings. Extremely poisonous, except for the juice of the fruit.

Tieke Lane

Māori word for the North Island Saddleback bird. The saddlebacks are two species of New Zealand bird which are rare, glossy black with a chestnut saddle and rump and orange-red wattles at the base of a black bill. They feed on the forest floor and bound from branch to branch. Its taxonomic family is also known as that of the "wattlebirds" and includes the two subspecies of the kōkako as well as the extinct huia.

COAL 1 (Stage 5) Proposed Names

Meaning

Routeburn Lane

(Applicant’s Preferred Name)

The Routeburn Track is a famous South Island track with diverse scenery, forests, alpine flora, lakes, several waterfalls and panoramic views. The three-day trek covers 39km (24 miles).

 

Akapuka Court

 

Akapuka, also commonly known as shining broadleaf, is a name of Māori origin for a tree native to New Zealand. It has large, shiny, dark-green leaves with dark purple fruit and can be found everywhere from lowland to high hills or forest or shrub land.

Pōkākā Lane

Pōkākā is a name of Māori origin for a native forest tree of New Zealand. It is a cold tolerant plant and can be found from valley floors to mountainous areas. Pōkākā is a small tree with distinct small narrow glossy olive-green and brown wavy leaves, white flowers, and dark purple fruit.  

 

20.     Assessment: The names proposed by the Applicant have been assessed to ensure that they meet Auckland Council’s Road Naming Guidelines and the National Addressing Standards for road naming. All technical standards are met and the names are not duplicated anywhere else in the region, aside from the minor similarities described below.

21.     Confirmation: Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable and not duplicated elsewhere in the region, aside from two minor similarities noted below:

18.1) There is an existing ‘Akapuka Lane’ in Waterview, however this is approximately 34km away from the subject site and has a different road type, so ‘Akapuka Court’ is acceptable to use for this development.

18.2) There is an existing ‘Heaphy Street’ located in Blockhouse Bay approximately 30km away, however, this is enough separation and has a different road type, so ‘Heaphy Lane’ is acceptable to use for this development.

22.     Road type: ‘Lane’ and ‘Court’ are acceptable road types for the new private roads, suiting the form and layout of the roads, as per the Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

23.     The naming of roads has no effect on climate change. Relevant environmental issues have been considered under the provisions of the Resource Management Act 1991 and the associated approved resource consent for the development.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

24.     The decision sought for this report has no identified impacts on other parts of the council group. The views of council controlled organisations were not required for the preparation of the report’s advice.

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

Local impacts and local board views

25.     The decision sought for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate local impact beyond those outlined in this report.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

26.     The naming of roads is linked to the Auckland Plan Outcome “A Māori identity that is Auckland’s point of difference in the world”. The use of Māori names for roads, buildings and other public places is an opportunity to publicly demonstrate Māori identity.

27.     To aid Local Board decision making, the ‘Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines’ includes the objective of recognising cultural and ancestral linkages to areas of land by engagement with mana whenua and the allocation of road names as appropriate, and a Principle that Māori road names are actively encouraged.

28.     Four Te Reo Māori road name options have been proposed by the applicant, in consultation with the three main iwi groups involved in this development. The ongoing relationship between the applicant and iwi is outlined below.

29.     Mana whenua engagement: The Applicant has undertaken extensive consultation with mana whenua as part of the Paerata Rise development, from the early planning stages and throughout the development process:

·    Consultation with local iwi groups Ngāti Tamaoho, Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua and Te Ākitai Waiohuai was carried out by the Applicant, starting in 2014, before the re-zoning of the land occurred. All three iwi groups agreed to produce a cultural values assessment (CVA) of the site and surrounding area as part of the zone change process. Two other iwi groups declined the CVA option, instead opting to support the views of the three main iwi.

·    In February 2015 the Applicant met with King Tūheitia Paki and discussed the development plans with him and gained his support.

·    The ground-breaking ceremony for the development was held on 1 October 2016 and had Kaumātua leadership from Ted Ngataki of Ngāti Tamaoho and Nigel Denny of Ngāti ti Akitai, as well as a blessing from the President of the Methodist Church.

·    The Applicant held a hui in order to develop a name for the development and the new town being created, and this meeting was attended by both mana whenua groups, as members of Te Taha Māori, and representatives from the Franklin region. The name Paerata Rise was decided upon in 2016, with support from local iwi and the hui participants.

·    Ngāti Tamaoho, Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua and Te Ākitai Waiohuai have visited the site before earthworks began and continue to visit at least once every 6 – 8 months, or when requested by the Applicant. Another iwi site visit was scheduled in June 2020.

·    In March 2018 Kaumātua of Ngāti Tamaoho lead the Blessing of the first precinct road, ‘Jonah Lomu Drive’.

·    Of the 14 road names in Stage 1, three roads have Māori heritage or origin and three roads are named after people with Pacifica ethnicity. The remainder are connected to Wesley College and the Methodist church. However, it is acknowledged with the volume of roads to be named for the future stages of development, that the proposed names will not always be ‘strictly’ local, and alternative names are sought. The applicant advised that they are always open for suggestions to be included in their road naming toolbox, and mana whenua feedback from the three main iwi groups involved throughout the whole development have been sought for every name proposed. The applicant places a strong emphasis on ongoing mana whenua consultation and considers this to be a key factor in the Paerata Rise development.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

30.     The road naming process does not raise any financial implications for the council.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

31.     There are no significant risks to council as road naming is a routine part of the subdivision development process, with consultation being a key part of the process.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

32.     Approved road names are notified to Land Information New Zealand which records them on its New Zealand wide land information database which includes street addresses issued by local councils.
