1 Welcome

2 Apologies

At the close of the agenda no apologies had been received.

3 Declaration of Interest

Members are reminded of the need to be vigilant to stand aside from decision making when a conflict arises between their role as a member and any private or other external interest they might have.

The Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members (the code) requires elected members to fully acquaint themselves with, and strictly adhere to, the provisions of Auckland Council’s Conflicts of Interest Policy. The policy covers two classes of conflict of interest:

i) a financial conflict of interest, which is one where a decision or act of the local board could reasonably give rise to an expectation of financial gain or loss to an elected member

ii) a non-financial conflict interest, which does not have a direct personal financial component. It may arise, for example, from a personal relationship, or involvement with a non-profit organisation, or from conduct that indicates prejudice or predetermination.

The Office of the Auditor General has produced guidelines to help elected members understand the requirements of the Local Authority (Member’s Interest) Act 1968. The guidelines discuss both types of conflicts in more detail, and provide elected members with practical examples and advice around when they may (or may not) have a conflict of interest.

Copies of both the Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members and the Office of the Auditor General guidelines are available for inspection by members upon request.

Any questions relating to the code or the guidelines may be directed to the Relationship Manager in the first instance.

4 Confirmation of Minutes

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a) confirm the ordinary minutes of its meeting, held on Thursday, 9 July 2020, as true and correct.

At the close of the agenda no requests for acknowledgements had been received.

7 Petitions

At the close of the agenda no requests to present petitions had been received.

8 Deputations

Standing Order 7.7 provides for deputations. Those applying for deputations are required to give seven working days notice of subject matter and applications are approved by the Chairperson of the Upper Harbour Local Board.

A period of time (approximately 30 minutes) is set aside for members of the public to address the meeting on matters within its delegated authority. A maximum of 3 minutes per item is allowed, following which there may be questions from members.

At the close of the agenda no requests for public forum had been received.

Auckland Transport monthly update - July 2020

File No.: CP2020/09105

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To receive an update on traffic-related matters in the Upper Harbour Local Board area.

2. To agree the prioritized list of preferred projects for the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) for the 2019-2022 term.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3. Auckland Transport (AT) request that the local board approve their list of prioritised projects for the LBTCF.

4. Included is a list of the public consultations sent to the local board in June 2020 for comment and the decisions of AT’s Traffic Control Committee (TCC) for June 2020.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a) receive the monthly update report from Auckland Transport for July 2020.

b) agree on the prioritised list of preferred projects for the Local Board Transport Capital Fund for the 2019-2022 term.

Horopaki

Context

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

6. 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 that are considered important 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 running through parks can be considered if there is a transport outcome).

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF)

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

8. Until the final budget is complete, AT will not be able to advise local boards on the funds available in the LBTCF. This may have an impact on progressing potential projects. AT will update local boards on the status of the LBTCF as soon as decisions around the budget are finalised.

9. As the Upper Harbour Local Board has held its workshop to prioritise projects for allocation to the LBTCF, AT now requests that the local board agree on the following projects list in order of priority as the preferred projects for the LBTCF for the 2019-2022 term, noting that these are not listed in order of priority below:

· Scott Point Sustainable Sports Park shared path

· Ōtehā Valley Road (connecting existing shared paths to fill in the gaps)

· shared path on Bush Road from the hockey stadium to Rosedale Road

· improve safety between Albany shared path and the new SH18 shared path.

Community Safety Fund (CSF)

10. The Community Safety Fund is funded from AT’s safety budget and is dependent on the level of funding AT receives from the 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.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

11. AT engages closely with Auckland 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.

12. 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.

Council group impacts and views

13. The impact of information in this report is confined to AT and does not impact on other parts of the council group. Any engagement with other parts of the council group will be carried out on an individual project basis.

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

Local impacts and local board views

Greenhithe – footpath and road corridor safety concerns

14. Given the large number of areas of concern, there will be a delay before AT can fully repair all faults. AT has instructed the maintenance contractor to attend to all safety concerns urgently to make them safe. The contractor will then provide a detailed estimate of the cost to fix all identified fault locations.

15. Once this estimate is complete, AT’s Assets team will be able to plan and budget for the works to fully repair the remaining areas of concern. Due to the magnitude of the works, AT are unable to advise an exact timeframe for full completion.

Local board workshops

16. AT attended a workshop in June 2020, the purpose of which was to update the board on the following topics:

· Dairy Flat Highway/Gills Road business case

· Supporting Growth North-West update

· Upper Harbour Drive junction – local board project

· prioritisation of Local Board Transport Capital Fund for 2019-2022 term

· removal of the 114 bus service, Herald Island.

Consultation documents on proposed improvements

17. Consultation documents for the proposals listed below have been provided to the Upper Harbour Local Board for feedback and are summarised for information purposes only.

18. After consultation, AT considers the feedback received and determines whether to proceed further with the proposal as consulted on or proceed with an amended proposal if changes are considered necessary.

· new bus stop outside 38 Joy Street (on Gills Road)

· new pram crossing and refuge island on 42 Joy Street (on Gills Road)

· Albany bus station retail kiosk – expression of interest

· proposal to upgrade two existing pedestrian crossings to raised zebra crossings on Brigham Creek Road and Airport Road, Whenuapai.

Traffic Control Committee (TCC) report

19. Decisions of the TCC during the month of June affecting the Upper Harbour Local Board area are listed in the following table:

Street (suburb)	Type of report	Nature of restriction	Decision
Oteha Valley Road Extension / Dairy Flat Highway, Albany	Permanent traffic and parking changes	No stopping at all times / loading zone / flush median / P60 parking / no stopping between certain hours / lanes / lane arrow marking / traffic signal / footpath / give-way control / traffic island / bus stop / bus shelter	CARRIED

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

20. The decision to receive this monthly update report has no impacts or opportunities for Māori. Any engagement with Māori or consideration of impacts and opportunities will be carried out on an individual project basis.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

21. The decision to receive this monthly update report has no financial implications.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

22. Auckland Council is currently consulting on its Emergency Budget 2020/2021. Until this review and a new budget is adopted in July 2020, AT will not be able to report with certainty on its programme.

23. However, under both proposed revisions to the budget, AT’s capital and operating budgets will be reduced. Therefore, it is expected that some projects that were planned for 2020/2021 may not be able to be delivered and AT expects this will be disappointing to communities that had already been engaged with.

24. Both the Community Safety Fund and the Local Board Transport Capital Fund may be impacted by these budget reductions. The only way to mitigate this risk is to clearly communicate the board’s priorities so staff supporting these may plan and to make the best use of any available funds.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

25. AT will provide a further update report to the Upper Harbour Local Board in August 2020.

23 July 2020

Adoption of the Upper Harbour Local Board Agreement 2020/2021

File No.: CP2020/09290

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 Upper Harbour Local Board:

a) adopt the Upper Harbour Local Board Agreement 2020/2021.

b) adopt the Upper Harbour Local Board local fees and charges schedule for 2020/2021.

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

d) note that:

i) 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) 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). One locally held event was held in the Upper Harbour 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 8 May 2020 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 9 July 2020 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 (draft to be tabled at the meeting), and a local fees and charges schedule for 2020/2021 (Attachment A).

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 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 2020 business meetings. The local board work programmes reflect 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. 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

25. 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.

26. 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.

27. 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.

28. 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

29. 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

30. 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.

31. 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 Chairperson to make minor final changes if necessary.

32. 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.

Panuku Development Auckland - Upper Harbour Local Board six-month report: 1 September 2019 to 29 February 2020

File No.: CP2020/07706

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To receive an update on Panuku Development Auckland (Panuku) activities within the local board area and the region for the six months from 01 September 2019 to 29 February 2020

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:

· redevelopment of urban locations, leveraging off council-owned land assets, mostly within existing suburbs

· review of and, where appropriate, redevelopment of council non-service property

· management of council property assets including commercial, residential, and marina infrastructure

· other property related services such as redevelopment incorporating a service delivery function, strategic property advice, acquisitions and disposals.

3. Panuku Development Auckland currently manages 20 commercial interests in the Upper Harbour Local Board area.

4. One property was purchased in the Upper Harbour Local Board area during the six month reporting period.

5. No properties were sold in the Upper Harbour Local Board area during the six month reporting period.

6. Panuku is awaiting direction from Auckland Council regarding the property subject to the rationalisation process.

7. Panuku leads a multi-year redevelopment programme of the council’s Housing for Older People (HfOP) portfolio (Haumaru). There is one Haumaru village in the Upper Harbour Local Board area.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a) receive the Panuku Development Auckland - Upper Harbour Local Board six-month report for 01 September 2019 to 29 February 2020.

Horopaki

Context

8. Panuku helps to rejuvenate parts of Auckland, from small projects that refresh a site or building, to major transformations of town centres or neighbourhoods.

9. The Auckland Plan is the roadmap to deliver on Auckland’s vision to be a world class city, Panuku plays a significant role in achieving the ‘Homes and Places’ and ‘Belonging and Participation’ outcomes.

10. Panuku leads 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.

11. Panuku manages around $3 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. ‘Non-service properties’ are council-owned properties that are not used to deliver council, or council-controlled organisation (CCO), services.

12. As at 31 December 2019, the Panuku-managed regional property portfolio comprised 1674 properties, containing 1035 leases. This 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

13. Panuku is contributing commercial input into approximately 50 region-wide council-driven renewal and housing supply initiatives.

14. Panuku works with partners and stakeholders over the course of a project. It also champions best practice project delivery, to achieve best value outcomes within defined cost, time and quality parameters.

15. Following is a high-level update on activities in the Upper Harbour Local Board area:

Unlock Hobsonville

16. On 27 February 2020, a workshop was held with the local board by Auckland Council Sports and Recreation and Panuku to discuss the opportunity for the Wasp Hangar building to be used for an indoor recreation facility.

17. Avanda completed their first eight homes in the Unlock Hobsonville Airfields Precinct. There are another 510 homes planned for this area.

Properties managed in the Upper Harbour Local Board area

18. Panuku currently manages 20 commercial and non-residential interests within the local board area.

Portfolio strategy

Optimisation

19. Optimisation is a self-funding development approach targeting sub-optimal service assets approved in 2015. The process involves an agreement between Community Facilities, Panuku and local boards and is led by Panuku. It is designed to equal or enhance 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.

20. Using optimisation, underperforming assets will have increased utility and efficiency, lower maintenance and operating costs, as well as improved service delivery benefiting from co-location of other complementary services or commercial activities. Optimisation will free up a range of under-capitalised development opportunities such as air space, full sites, or part sites.

21. Using optimisation as a redevelopment and funding tool, the Local Board can maximise efficiencies from service assets while maintaining levels of service through the release of some or all of that property for sale or development.

22. 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

23. 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.

24. 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

25. Panuku works closely with Auckland Council and Auckland Transport to identify potential surplus properties to help achieve disposal targets.

Target for July 2018 to June 2019:

Unit	Target	Achieved
Portfolio review	$30 million disposal recommendations	$30.4 million disposal recommendations

Target for July 2019 to June 2021:

Unit	Target	Achieved
Portfolio review	$45 million disposal recommendations	$20 million disposal recommendations as at 23 February 2020

Process

26. 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, the Independent Māori Statutory Board and finally, a Governing Body decision.

Acquisitions and disposals

27. 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

28. 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.

29. Panuku has purchased eight properties for open space across Auckland in the time period between October 2019 and April 2020, at a cost of $31.5 million.

30. One property has been purchased in the Upper Harbour Local Board area during the reporting period for open space (the one property purchased in the Upper Harbour Local Board area in this period is 4 Spedding Road, Whenuapai).

31. All land acquisition committee resolutions contain a confidentiality clause due to the commercially sensitive nature of ongoing transactions, and thus cannot be reported on while in process.

Disposals

32. In the reporting period between October 2019 and April 2020, the Panuku disposals team has entered into seven sale and purchase agreements, with an estimated value of $7.5 million of unconditional net sales proceeds.

33. Panuku 2019/20 disposals target is $24 million for the year. The disposals target is agreed with the council and is reviewed on an annual basis.

34. No properties have been sold in the Upper Harbour Local Board area during the reporting period.

Under review

35. Properties currently under review in the Upper Harbour Local Board area are 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

Hobsonville Marina (Clearwater Cove, West Harbour)

At the Planning Committee meeting in September 2018, the committee resolved that the Auckland Plan Strategy and Research team undertake further work on a strategy and a forward plan with respect to the future of Auckland marinas.

Housing for Older People – Haumaru Housing

36. The council owns 1452 units located in 63 villages across Auckland, which provide rental housing to low income older people in Auckland.

37. 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.

38. 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.

39. Haumaru Housing was granted community housing provider (CHP) status in April 2017. Having CHP registration enables Haumaru to access the government’s Income Related Rent Subsidy (IRRS) scheme.

40. Auckland Council has delegated Panuku to lead a new multi-year residential development programme.

41. The following Haumaru Housing village is located within the Upper Harbour Local Board area:

Village	Address	Number of units

Climate impact statement

42. The Panuku Priority Location programmes support regeneration of existing town centres, developing underutilised sites within the urban area, close to transport links. Increasing the density of housing results in reduced carbon emissions through improved utilisation of existing infrastructure and transit-oriented development. The provision of easy, safe and attractive walking and cycling routes reduces reliance on private motor vehicles and enables low carbon lifestyles. Panuku has adopted a minimum standard of a Homestar 6 rating for all homes, resulting in warmer, drier and more energy efficient buildings.

43. Climate change increases the probability of hotter temperatures and more frequent flooding and drought in the Upper Harbour Local Board area. Panuku seeks to future-proof our communities by:

· specifying adaptation and resilience in the design of buildings and spaces.

· specifying that infrastructure and developments are designed to cope with warmer temperatures and extreme weather events.

· use of green infrastructure and water sensitive design for increased flood resilience, ecological and biodiversity benefits

· provision of increased shade and shelter for storm events and hotter days.

Analysis and advice

7. Auckland Council’s road naming criteria typically require that road names reflect:

· a historical or ancestral linkage to an area

· a particular landscape, environment or biodiversity theme or feature, or

· an existing (or introduced) thematic identity in the area, and

· the use of Māori names is actively encouraged.

8. The applicant has proposed the names set out in the following table.

Criteria

Kaiwawao Lane

(preferred name)

Defender

Whakahaumaru Lane

(alternate name)

To safeguard, protect

Meets criteria

9. The road is in an area where surrounding roads have been named after former airforce personnel. The proposed names are a further acknowledgement of the role that these people had in defending/protecting New Zealand and the role we all have in defending and protecting the environment.

10. Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that the proposed and alternate names are both acceptable.

11. Local iwi in the Auckland area were contacted and invited to comment, however no replies were received.

12. The proposed names are deemed to meet the council’s road naming guidelines and staff recommend approving the applicant’s choice.

Climate impact statement

13. 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.

Local impacts and local board views

15. The decision sought for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the community.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

16. 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. To aid local board decision-making, the Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines includes the following:

· the objective of recognising 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

· an agreed process to enable mana whenua to provide timely feedback on all proposed road names in a manner they consider appropriate.

17. Two Māori road name options have been proposed.

Financial implications

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

Risks and mitigations

20. 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.

Next steps

21. Approved road names are notified to LINZ who record them on their New Zealand-wide land information database, which includes street addresses issued by councils.
