Waitākere Ranges Local Board

23 July 2020

Adoption of the Waitākere Ranges Local Board Agreement 2020/2021

File No.: CP2020/09265

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To adopt a Local Board Agreement 2020/2021 and 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 Waitākere Ranges Local Board:

a) adopt the Local Board Agreement 2020/2021 tabled at the meeting.

b) adopt the local fees and charges schedule for 2020/2021 attached to this report.

c) delegate authority to the Chair 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) resolutions of this meeting will be reported 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). Three local events and three local events specific to the pump out scheme proposal were held in the Waitākere Ranges 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 28 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, and a local fees and charges schedule for 2020/2021.

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 2020 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 Waitākere Ranges Local Board area, 67 identified as Māori. No iwi entities made a submissions to the Emergency Budget 2020/2021 throughout 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.

Waitākere Ranges Social and Historic Events 2020/2021

File No.: CP2020/08607

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To approve in principle the budget for the social and historic heritage events being held in 2020/2021.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. A line for social and historic heritage events is included in the draft Waitākere Ranges Local Board 2020/2021 work programme with an initial proposed budget of $35,000.

3. The funds allocated to this line will cover the delivery of two events: the Brass Band Concert, scheduled to be delivered in September 2020, and the West Auckland Heritage Conference, scheduled to be delivered in October 2020.

4. Following suggestions from the Waitākere Ranges Local Board after reviewing the draft 2020/2021 work programme in May 2020, the total amount allocated to the item was decreased to $20,000.

5. In light of the further financial constraints due to Emergency Budget 2020/2021 following COVID- 19, staff propose a further reduction of $5,000 for a total new proposed budget of $15,000 for the social and historic heritage events line.

6. This includes a proposed budget of $12,000 for the West Auckland Heritage Conference, and $3,000 for the Brass Band Concert.

7. The Emergency Budget 2020/2021 will be confirmed by 30 July 2020, and the Waitākere Ranges Local Board 2020/2021 Work Programme approval will be delayed by two months, from June to August 2020.

8. Due to timeframe constraints, staff would not be able to organise and deliver both events if the budget for 2020/2021 is not confirmed prior to the approval of the work programme in August 2020.

9. The local board can approve in principle the budget allocated to this line, so staff can start planning for both events.

10. When the local board resolves the 2020/2021 work programme, that portion of the LDI budget will effectively be committed.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Waitākere Ranges Local Board:

a) approve in principle the allocation of $15,000 for the social and historic heritage events being held in 2020/2021, which includes delivery of the Brass Band Concert and the West Auckland Heritage Conference.

Horopaki

Context

11. In the Waitākere Ranges Local Board 2020/2021 work programme a line is included for the delivery of the social and historic heritage events with an initial proposed budget of $35,000.

12. The funds allocated to this line will cover the delivery of two events: the Brass Band Concert, scheduled to be delivered in September 2020 with an initial proposed budget of $5,000; and the West Auckland Heritage Conference, scheduled to be delivered in October 2020 with an initial proposed budget of $20,000.

13. Following the review of the draft 2020/2021 work programme in May 2020 and in light of the upcoming financial restrictions due to COVID-19, the local board suggested a decrease of the total amount allocated to the events to $20,000 for the delivery of both events.

14. Due to further financial restrictions and a potential cut of 10 per cent or 20 per cent of LDI OPEX budgets in 2020/2021 (depending on the results of the Emergency Budget consultation), a further decrease is proposed for the total amount allocated to the events.

15. The new proposed budget for this line is $15,000, representing a saving of over 40 per cent from the original proposed budget.

16. $3,000 is proposed to be allocated to the Brass Band Concert, which is organized and delivered by the Civic Events team and is held annually in September.

17. The West Auckland Heritage conference is organized by a contractor with support from staff. The same contractor has delivered the event for the last five years. The conference is also an annual event, held in October and it is part of the Auckland Heritage Festival programme. The proposed budget for the delivery of the event in 2020/2021 is $12,000.

18. Staff are recommending the local board approve these proposed budgets in principle so that planning can commence prior to the work programme being approved.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

19. In light of the financial restrictions affecting LDI OPEX budgets in 2020/2021, and as a response to the Waitākere Ranges Local Board suggestion, staff reviewed the budgets proposed for the Brass Band Concert and the West Auckland Heritage Conference.

20. Reductions are proposed in different areas which will not significantly impact the overall operational delivery of both events. The proposed estimated budget of $15,000 will allow the delivery of both events at reduced scale.

21. Both events are held in the months immediately following approval of the work programme. Due to the timeframe constraints, staff would not be able to organize and deliver both events if the budget is not confirmed prior to the approval of the work programme in August 2020.

22. Staff have confirmed with council finance that the local board can approve in principle the budget for the social and historic events line in the draft work programme.

23. Although this will not enable any expenditure against this budget prior to the approval of the work programme in August 2020, it will provide confirmation of funding to enable planning work for both events to commence.

24. There is a risk that if this budget is not approved in principle, the events may not have enough lead in time to plan and may have to be cancelled.

Brass Band concert

25. The Brass Band Concert is an annual commemorative event to mark important milestones through the WWI period. It is a free concert followed by light refreshments offered to the public.

26. Every year a new theme is selected for the concert, this distinguishes the event as a celebratory commemoration of local places, people and events from the WWI period.

27. The event has been held for the last five years and it has been a great success within the community. Over 100 people each year attend the event and consider this as an opportunity to participate in events, activities and programmes that enhance the social and heritage aspects of their community.

28. Staff reviewed the budget allocated to the event in previous years in order to identify the expenses that could be reduced without significantly impacting the operational delivery nor the quality of the event.

29. Following thorough analysis of the previous budget allocated to the event ($5,000), elements that were lower priority in terms of the event’s overall delivery were identified.

30. These low-priority elements where savings could be made include stage decorations, and reductions in expenditure associated with advertising and catering.

31. For advertising staff proposed reducing the size of advertising in the Western Leader newspaper to quarter of a page, this will still allow the event to be locally promoted with reduced costs.

32. For catering, staff propose reducing the number of people to cater for to 100, based on the attendance in previous years

33. Staff propose a total budget of $3,000 for this event which represents a 40 per cent reduction in LDI funding for the event.

Auckland Heritage Conference

34. The West Auckland Heritage Conference was initiated in 2016 with the aim of celebrating the changing face of the Waitākere Ranges and West Auckland in general, as well as the area’s distinct built, cultural and natural heritage.

35. The conference is a unique full day event that focuses on increasing awareness of West Auckland history. It provides a platform to share recent research with a wider audience while promoting interest and knowledge on places, people and events from the past involving all residents in understanding the history of the area.

36. The conference also provides a valuable networking opportunity for those working on the history of West Auckland.

37. The West Auckland Heritage Conference has been held annually as part of the wider Auckland Heritage Festival.

38. Since it started in 2016, the West Auckland Heritage Conference has been organized and delivered by the same contractor. The Civic Events team have prepared the service agreement and managed the payment of the contractor.

39. The contractor has been in direct contact with the Advisory Board for the delivery of the event.

40. Both the contractor and staff reviewed the budget allocated to the event in previous years in order to identify the areas or expenses that could be reduced without significantly impacting the operational delivery of the event.

41. Following a thorough analysis of the previous budget allocated to the event ($18,000) staff propose reducing the duration of the event as this will automatically reduce the expenditure on venue hire and hired audiovisual equipment. It is proposed that the event be held from 10am to 1pm for three hours, a reduction of two and a half hours from 2019.

42. Staff also propose a reduction in expenditure associated with advertising and catering.

43. Staff propose a total budget of $12,000 for this event which represents a 33.3 per cent reduction in LDI funding for the event.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

44. Both events will be held on public space therefore they will comply with the Auckland Council smoke free policy

45. Both events will comply with the zero-waste policy through their waste management and minimisation plans required as part of the event facilitation process.

Council group impacts and views

46. Council’s Marketing and Communications team will support the Civic events team to promote the event as part of the Auckland Heritage Festival programme.

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

Local impacts and local board views

47. The Social and Historic Heritage events support the local board to achieve the outcome in the 2017 Waitākere Ranges Local Board Plan: Local communities feel good about where they live.

48. By hosting these events, the local board creates opportunity for local people to participate in activities and programmes that enhance social and heritage participation and awareness.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

49. The purpose of the Social and historic heritage events is to increase awareness of the West Auckland history by promoting interest and knowledge on places, people and events from the past involving new and old residents in understanding the history of the area. This naturally progresses into a significant incorporation of Māori elements in the programme for both events.

50. Keynote Māori speakers in different areas are invited to deliver presentations on their researches at the West Auckland Heritage Conference. Themes and topics also related to Māori and mana whenua are selected every year.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

51. As a result of COVID-19, the Emergency Budget will be confirmed by 30 July 2020 and the 2020/2021 work programme approval will be delayed by two months, from June to August 2020.

52. When the local board resolves the 2020/2021 work programme, that portion of the LDI budget will effectively be committed and withdrawing after this commitment is given could mean sunk costs lost by the contractor delivering the West Auckland Heritage Conference and staff.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

53. There is a risk that if the budget is not approved in principle, these events may be cancelled due to insufficient planning time following the work programme approval.

54. There is a risk associated with approving the budget in principle before the Emergency Budget has been confirmed. Any budget approved in principle will not be able to be allocated to another activity.

55. There is a potential reputational risk that the recurrent audience for both events may be dissatisfied with the events being decreased in scale in 2020. Staff have attempted to mitigate this by only reducing low-priority elements of the events including stage decoration, advertising, and duration, whilst not compromising on quality of delivery.

Waitākere Ranges Local Board

23 July 2020

Statement of proposal to amend the Alcohol Control Bylaw

File No.: CP2020/08966

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 Waitākere Ranges Local Board:

a) support the draft statement of proposal in Attachment A of this 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.

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: o for Mount Smart Stadium extend the ban to apply to all major events, not just concerts o 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]} o 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: o the event venue has in the past, is currently, and will in the future be used for major events o 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.

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:

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

o 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]}

o 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:

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

o 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.

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.

· 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, and;

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

The road names proposed in this report have been provided to all mana whenua by the applicant for consideration. In this instance no feedback has been received.

Financial implications

17. The applicant has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed accordingly once approval is obtained for the new road name.

18. The road naming process does not raise any other financial implications for the Council.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

19. 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

20. 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 councils.

Economic Development – including business support, business attraction and investment, local economic development, trade and industry development, skills employment and talent and innovation and entrepreneurship.

Destination - supporting sustainable growth of the visitor economy with a focus on destination marketing and management, major events, business events (meetings and conventions) and international student attraction and retention.

6. These two portfolios also share a common platform relating to the promotion of the city globally to ensure that Auckland competes effectively with other mid-tier high quality of life cities.

7. ATEED works with local boards, Council and CCOs to support decision-making on local economic growth and facilitates or co-ordinates the delivery of local economic development activity. ATEED ensures that the regional activities that ATEED leads or delivers are fully leveraged to support local economic growth and employment.

8. In addition, ATEED’s dedicated Local Economic Development (LED) team works with local boards who allocate locally driven initiatives (LDI) budget to economic development activities. The LED team delivers a range of services, such as the development of proposals, including feasibility studies that enable local boards to directly fund or otherwise advocate for the implementation of local initiatives.

9. ATEED delivers its services at the local level through business hubs based in the north, west and south of the region, as well as its central office at 167B Victoria Street West.

This is delivered by ATEED’s nine Business and Innovation Advisors (BIA), whose role is to connect local businesses to resources, experts and services in innovation, R&D, business growth and management.

14. ATEED’s BIAs engage 1:1 with businesses through a discovery meeting to understand their challenges, gather key data, and provide connections / recommendations via an action plan.

15. Where businesses qualify (meet the programme criteria and/or align to ATEED’s purpose as defined in the SOI) the advisors facilitate government support to qualifying businesses, in the form of:

· Callaghan Innovation R&D grants (including Getting Started, project and student grants (https://www.callaghaninnovation.govt.nz/grants)

· RBPN business capability vouchers (NZTE), where the business owner may be issued co-funding up to $5,000 per annum for business training via registered service providers. Voucher co-funding is prioritised to businesses accessing this service for the first time, in order to encourage more businesses to engage with experts to assist their management and growth.

· NZTE services such as Export Essentials (https://workshop.exportessentials.nz/register/)

There are currently no schools from the Waitākere Ranges Local Board area participating in the YES programme.

Local Jobs and Skills Hubs

23. ATEED is the regional partner for the network of Auckland Jobs and Skills Hubs. These multi-agency hubs support employers at developments where there is a high and sustained demand for local labour and skills development. The Auckland network includes Ara (Auckland Airport development), CBD (Wynyard Quarter and city centre development), and Tāmaki hubs. The new Manukau and Northern hubs launched in August of 2019 with new initiatives underway. ATEED-established City Centre Hub reports a total of 480 people into employment, 2,092 training outcomes and 14 apprenticeships facilitated as at 28 February 2020.

· Innovation sessions with topics such as capability building for smaller operators, common issues and themes, key takeaways, and networking opportunities

28. The Auckland Visitor Survey Insights Report is the culmination of significant development in qualitative and quantitative data capture across all of Auckland. The report identifies the region by main areas, north, south, east, west, and gulf islands, and delivers a valuable and timely insight into visitors’ characteristics, behaviour, experience and perceptions of the Auckland region. This report will be available for local board access in the New Year.

Regional destination management and marketing activity

29. Auckland cruise ship activity for the year 2018/19 reported growth for Auckland with visitor expenditure of $192.5m (note: this is not the GDP figure previously taken from Cruise NZ as it is no longer available).

31. Māori Tourism Development activity that may be relevant to local boards:

ATEED continued to support and advocate for the development of new Māori tourism experiences and unique marketing opportunities in support of the priorities contained in the Destination AKL 2025 strategy.

32. Maori Tourism Innovation Partnership Programme – Pilot

In alignment to the Destination AKL Strategy, ATEED has development a new Tourism Innovation Partnership fund to enable and support sustainable growth of Maori Tourism in Tāmaki Makaurau. Funding is available to Iwi, Hapū, Marae, Urban Māori Authorities and Māori Tourism collectives to apply for during the 19/20 financial year. So far, we have supported the following two initiatives:

· Ngai Tai ki Tamaki/Te Haerenga have been awarded $25,000 to develop and promote day tours to Rangitoto and Motutapu through walking and e-bike tours.

· Te Manu Taupua (with support from the Tupuna Maunga Authority & Nuu Limited) have been awarded $20,000 to grow digital capacity and capability to amplify the cultural narratives of Tāmaki Makaurau. These resources will then be used to educate and develop cultural competency within Auckland’s tourism industry.

33. Examples of separate local board area activity include:

· Waitematā - Feasibility study for a Māori Cultural Centre

o RFA, ATEED and Panuku in partnership with mana whenua (in particular, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Ngāti Pāoa and Te Kawerau a Maki) are in the final stages of finalising a feasibility study for a Māori Cultural Centre, with a penultimate draft being circulated internally.

Auckland Transport Update - July 2020

File No.: CP2020/09607

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To provide an update to the Waitākere Ranges Local Board on transport matters in their area and an update on its Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF).

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. This report covers:

· a summary of Auckland Transport (AT) projects and operations in the local board area

· a summary of the board’s Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) and Community Safety Fund projects

· a summary of Auckland Transport (AT) general information items

· public consultations and decisions of AT’s Traffic Control Committee as the affect the board area.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Waitākere Ranges Local Board:

a) receive Auckland Transport’s July 2020 update report.

Horopaki

Context

3. This report addresses transport related matters in the Waitākere Ranges Local Board area.

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

5. The LBTCF is a capital budget provided to all local boards by Auckland Council and delivered by Auckland Transport (AT). Local boards can use this fund to deliver transport infrastructure projects that they have identified as a priority but are not part of AT’s work programme. Projects must:

· 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)

6. 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.

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

8. 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 Projects

9. 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.

10. Progress on these projects is now subject to the outcome of Council’s budget review, the last update to the Board is outlined below for the Boards information:

Konini School safety improvements - Paewai zebra	Project team is preparing the consultation documents for installing new raised zebra crossing at 2 Paewai Rd. Timeframes for consultation are yet to be confirmed due to current COVID-19 situation.
Konini School safety improvements - 12 Annison zebra	Project team is preparing the consultation documents for installing new raised zebra crossing at 12 Annison Rd. Timeframes for consultation are yet to be confirmed due to current COVID-19 situation.
Lopdell House Intersection Titirangi and South Titirangi Road intersection Safety	Project team awaiting developer to assess the proposed intersection improvements to include in their upgrade at Lopdell House Intersection.
Konini School safety safety improvements at Paewai Road and Annison Avenue, Glen Eden	Consultation went out in early June to the public and closed on 25 June 2020. Feedback from submissions received will be shared with the Local Board in August 2020.

Speed Limits Bylaw

11. To make our roads safer and to reduce deaths and serious injuries, the new Speed Limits Bylaw came into force 30 June 2020.

12. The first Tranche were in the Waitematā, Franklin and Rodney Local Board areas.

Local Issues

13. Following a fatal incident involving a pedestrian and a heavy vehicle in Glen Eden, AT have been working with the local Police and the Waitākere Ranges Local Board to see if there are safety measures that need to be put in place to mitigate the risk in this area.

14. A site visit is currently being finalised in late July with residents and the local board to discuss recent chip seal done on roads in Oratia.

15. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has approved 75.5% funding for the Glen Eden Safety project. This includes Oates Road/Glendale Roundabout and Oates Road/Captain Scott Road roundabout.

Innovating Streets Pilot Fund – Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency

16. At the end of June, Auckland Council announced the applications that would go forward to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency for consideration under the newly established Innovating Streets pilot fund.

17. These applications include an AT project in the Waitākere Ranges Local Board area:
Glen Eden Town Centre Pop-up Cycleway: Captain Scott Road.

18. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is expected to make decisions on which applications are successful by mid-August 2020.

Climate impact statement

19. Auckland Transport 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.

20. Auckland Transport’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.

Financial implications

25. The recommendation to receive this report has no financial implications.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

26. 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. Our capital and operating budgets will 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 may be impacted by these budget reductions.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

27. Auckland Transport will provide another update report to the Board in August 2020.
