Purpose of City Centre
Targeted Rate
(Excerpt –full information available in a
separate document)
Background
The City Centre targeted rate is to help
fund the development and revitalisation of the city centre. The rate applies to
business and residential land in the City Centre area.
Activities to be funded
The City Centre redevelopment programme
aims to enhance the city centre as a place to work, live, visit and do
business. It achieves this by providing a high-quality urban environment,
promoting the competitive advantages of the city centre as a business location,
and promoting the city centre as a place for high-quality education, research
and development. The programme intends to reinforce and promote the city centre
as a centre for arts and culture, with a unique identity as the heart and soul
of Auckland. The rate will fund expenditure within the following activities:
Regional planning; Roads and footpaths; Local parks, sports and recreation.
The targeted rate will continue until
2024/2025 to cover capital and operating expenditure generated by the projects
in the City Centre redevelopment programme. From 2016/2017, unspent funds from
the targeted rate have been used to transition the depreciation and
consequential operating costs of capital works to the general rate so that from
2019/2020 these costs will be entirely funded from general rates.

Purpose of the report
1. To recommend to the Governing Body the inclusion of the city centre
targeted rate extension to 2031 in the Long-term Plan 2021-2031 consultation.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The
city centre targeted rate makes a significant contribution to delivering the
outcomes set out in the City Centre Masterplan. It supports developments and
revitalisation projects and complements major infrastructure construction (such
as Downtown) to create a vibrant,
accessible and inclusive city centre that contributes
significantly to the regional and national economy.
3. The
city centre targeted rate is currently due to end in the 2024/2025 financial
year. The needs for the city centre targeted rate-funded activities are likely to
continue beyond 2025 as the city continues to grow and evolve.
4. Two
workshops were held on 13 October and 27 October 2020 with an Auckland City
Centre Advisory Board working group and on 2 November with the whole board to
discuss the opportunity to extend the city centre targeted rate.
5. The
advisory board indicated general support for the city centre targeted rate to
be extended to 2031 to align with the end date of Long-term Plan 2021-2031.
6. The
advisory board also indicated support for retaining the original purpose of the
targeted rate to help fund development and revitalisation of the city centre,
with a focus on amenity and streetscape enhancement, while being flexible to
respond to the growing and changing needs of the city centre.
7. The
proposed city centre targeted rate extension will be incorporated as part of
overall Long-term Plan 2021-2031 public consultation in early 2021 before being
considered by the Governing Body at its meeting in June 2021.
8. The city centre targeted rate can be reviewed every year as part of
the annual plan, if required.

Context
9. In
the 2004/2005 financial year, the former Auckland City Council adopted a city
centre targeted rate to develop and upgrade the city centre. The rate was
renewed in 2014 (resolution number BUD/2014/55) to continue to help fund
development and revitalisation of the city centre.
10. The
city centre targeted rate collects around $22 million per annum. It funds
activities such as public realm and streetscape upgrades, activation, planning
and research, communications, marketing and events expenditure (see Table one
and Figure one below).
11. These city centre
targeted rate funded activities
have made significant changes in the city centre that support the City Centre
Masterplan outcomes and deliver a high-quality urban environment. These
include upgrading Freyberg Square, promoting the competitive advantages of the
city centre through destination marketing activation and events as well as
enhancing the outcomes of major public infrastructure, such as the upgrade of
Karangahape Road and the Downtown programme.
12. Together, the city centre
targeted rate, public investment
and private development will help the city continue to grow and evolve, be a great place to work, live, visit and do business, and make it a
centre of choice for arts, culture and events with a unique identity as the
heart and soul of Auckland.

Analysis and advice
Extension of city centre targeted rate is needed
given its vital role in supporting the city centre
13. The
city centre targeted rate is currently due to end in the 2024/2025 financial
year.
14. The
need for city centre targeted investments are is likely to continue beyond 2025
as the city continues to grow.
15. The
city centre will continue to be one of the fastest growing areas in Auckland
with both residential and employment growth. In addition, the City Rail
Link will be operational within 5 years, with opportunities to leverage this
significant infrastructure and work with the private sector to shape
Auckland. This will include delivering on quality neighborhoods,
providing safe and inviting spaces for people and families, to walk and play
and for the community to gather.
16. The
impacts of COVID-19 in the city centre will continue to be felt for several
years. The targeted rate will contribute to destination marketing,
activation and events among other initiatives, that will encourage people to
visit the city centre and support economic recovery.
17. There is a need to support Access for Everyone – a key outcome
of the City Centre Masterplan 2020, ensuring the city centre provides
quality access, supports new public transport initiatives, and the growth in
pedestrians, cyclists and micro-mobility users. There is already an
opportunity to explore making the city centre a safer and greener environment
with improved public amenities and public space.
Workshop
feedback supports the targeted rate to be extended to 2031
18. Two
workshops were held with the Auckland City Centre Advisory Board working group
(13 and 27 October 2020) and one workshop with the full board (2 November 2020)
to seek feedback on the city centre targeted rate extension beyond the
2024/2025 financial year.
19. There
was general support for the targeted rate to be extended to 2031 to align with
the end date of Long-term Plan 2021-2031.
20. The
board also stated that the targeted rate should retain its original purpose to
help fund development and revitalisation of the city centre, with a focus on
amenity and streetscape enhancement, but be flexible to respond to the growing
and changing needs of the city centre.
21. Depreciation
and consequential opex projects funded by the city centre targeted rate will
continue to be funded from general rates.
22. The city centre targeted rate can be reviewed every three years as
part of the Long-term Plan cycle, if required.

Climate impact statement
23. Urban
intensification and city developments have highlighted climate impact and
challenges to the environment. The board ‘s feedback at one of the
workshops recognised that climate change was a priority for the city centre.
24. The extension of the city centre targeted rate and consideration of
its forward programme will help ensure future projects in the city centre
continue to incorporate critical environmental and climate change measures.
This could include sustainable procurement, recycle-able and re-usable
materials, opportunities to improve water treatment, greening the environment
(for example, more trees and planters), monitoring and evaluation of
environment measures and compact and low-carbon urban design.

Council group impacts and views
25. The
extension of the city centre targeted rate will provide certainty of funding
that enables early planning and investigation for future development activities
for the city centre. It could also open up opportunities for contributing to,
or complementing large infrastructure and development projects.
26. The city centre targeted rate investment portfolio will be
coordinated with other council group initiatives to support holistic planning
and delivery.

30. The City Centre Masterplan 2020 sets
out a vision for the city centre to have a sense of place informed by the past
and looking to the future, with thriving and authentic tangata whenua identity and culture
(Outcome 1: Tāmaki Makaurau - Our place in the world).
31. The extension of the city
centre targeted rate will help
ensure future projects continue to work with local mana whenua to deliver this
vision.
32. The draft city centre
targeted rate forward work programme includes a programme that will
promote partnership with Mana Whenua on city centre projects. It will
also include the use of te reo Māori, cultural
tourism, festivals and events, and incorporation of Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland design
approach founded on Māori design for unique architectural and spatial
design responses.

City centre targeted rate portfolio
2021-2031
File No.: CP2020/17622
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek endorsement of the city centre targeted rate investment
portfolio for 2021-2031.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. This
report presents the proposed targeted rate investment portfolio for 2021-2031.
The proposal is based on recent Auckland City Centre Advisory Board workshop
feedback which reinforced retaining the original purpose of the targeted rate
to help fund development and revitalisation of the city centre, with a focus on
amenity and streetscape enhancement, but be flexible to respond to the growing
and changing needs of the city centre.
3. The
proposed city centre targeted rate investment portfolio reflects the
board’s priorities on supporting the city centre through COVID-19
recovery and enhancing quality access and neighbourhoods around the wider
City Rail Link station precincts, which will attract significant private
development, employment and business opportunities around the stations. There
is a shift in focus from downtown to midtown and Karangahape Road precinct
developments.
4. The
proposal includes budgeted allocations for projects already committed until
2025 and indicative budgets for new programmes after 2025 (see Table One and
Attachment A for portfolio information). Given current financial constraints,
it is unlikely that funding for new projects will be available in the next
three to five years.
5. There
will be opportunities to revise indicative budget and scope for new programmes
in the next Long-term Plan (2024-2034). Endorsement of indicative budgets in
the 2021-2031 programme will enable planning and early investigation for
significant capex spend to start, which often takes several years before
physical work begins.
6. The
proposed 2021-2031 investment portfolio will be presented as part of the wider
city centre Long-term Plan proposal to the Finance and Performance Committee to
be considered to adoption as part of the draft Long-term Plan 2021-2031 which
will go to public consultation in early 2021.
7. Setting the strategic direction for investment now assists with
council long-term planning and supports a holistic integrated approach across
the council group for delivery of the 2021-2031 portfolio and to progress City
Centre Masterplan outcomes.

Context
The Auckland
City Centre Advisory Board advises the council on the investment priorities for
the city centre targeted rate in supporting the city centre through growth and
changes, and delivers City Centre Masterplan outcomes.
8. The
city centre targeted rate collects around $22 million per annum and currently
finishes in the 2025 financial year. The board is considering the extension of
the city centre targeted rate to 2031 to align with the Long-term Plan
2021-2031 cycle in a separate report at its 30 November meeting.
9. The
Auckland City Centre Advisory Board advises council on the investment
priorities for the city centre targeted rate. Two workshops have been conducted
with the Auckland City Centre Advisory Board working group (13 and 27 October
2020). Discussion documents and workshop summaries were shared ahead of the
workshop with the whole board (2 November 2020) to seek feedback on the future
focus of the city centre targeted rate.
10. Another
workshop was held on 23 November 2020 to discuss the advisory board’s
feedback on the proposed city centre targeted rate investment portfolio
2021-2031.
11. This report seeks endorsement of the proposed city centre targeted
rate investment portfolio for 2021-2031, as a result of recent workshop feedback
from the advisory board members, council investment priorities, current
challenges and opportunities.
Tātaritanga me ngā
tohutohu
Analysis and advice
The proposed portfolio reflects the
advisory board’s feedback to retain the targeted rate’s original
intent, have a holistic approach to planning, assist COVID-19 recovery and
invest in City Rail Link corridor
12. The
workshop on 13 October provided an opportunity to discuss some of the
challenges facing the city and whether there was a need to extend the City
Centre Targeted Rate.
13. Workshop
feedback affirmed that the targeted rate should retain its original purpose to
help fund development and revitalisation of the city centre, but ensure value
for money, with a focus on amenity and streetscape enhancement. Advisory board
members also stressed the importance of being flexible to respond to the
growing and changing needs of the city centre, and ensuring value for money and
better communication to rate payers about benefits and outcomes.
14. Feedback
also emphasised the need to have holistic integrated planning to ensure key
agencies are working together to deliver on City Centre Masterplan outcomes and
overarching aspirations such as Access for Everyone (A4E).
15. The
following table shows how specific feedback has been incorporated in preparing
the draft investment portfolio for 2021-2031. Investigations have been carried
out to ensure alignment with the City Centre Masterplan, interdependency,
phasing, risks and opportunities.
Table One:
Workshop feedback and response
|
Key areas of feedback
|
Response
|
|
There needs to be consideration of how these projects relate to
construction across the city
|
Programmes
in the draft investment portfolio have been assessed and prioritised
according to how these programmes relate to overall strategic goals and
construction timelines across the city centre to the extent that it is known.
New
programmes in the outer years of the Long-term Plan will require further work
to determine the scope, timing and outcomes. There will be
opportunities for the board to provide advice on these programmes as they are
developed and refined.
|
|
Future investment needs to support COVID-19 recovery and
changing needs
|
Activation
and destination marketing programmes have been retained and extended as a
vital part of recovery in the city centre. Each capital programmes will
have associated development response costs incorporated.
This
work will complement other council group work programmes across the city and
identify opportunities for change and resilience such as night -time economy
and the place of young people in the city.
|
|
Future investment needs to support growth, particularly
residential growth in the city
|
New
programmes of work in the draft portfolio to focus on some of the residential
areas (Aotea, Karangahape Road and Victoria Quarters). Light touch,
placemaking, public amenities and wayfinding programmes to activate laneways
and connect communities have also been incorporated.
Staff
note feedback that there may be interest from residents in raising the rate
collected from residential properties. This is not recommended as part
of the LTP 2021-2031 consultation but staff will continue to facilitate these
discussions with the council rates team for future consideration.
|
|
There needs to be alignment with the City Centre Masterplan
outcomes and particularly A4E, and ensuring the city centre targeted rate
consistent with its original intent ( urban realm and streetscape)
|
All
existing streetscape and laneway projects are retained in the portfolio and
will also be part of new programmes. There is an opportunity to test
and implement some of the key concepts in A4E including supporting an
increase in active modes, reducing traffic, changing traffic flows and
looking at city-centre wide servicing loading and access needs. Our
streetscape projects are in the road corridor and will be planned and
delivered in partnership with Auckland Transport who are leading the A4E work.
Some existing programmes will need
to continue before the completion of the A4E Programme Business Case.
The Council group will continue to work collaboratively on these programmes
to look for alignment with potential A4E outcomes.
|
|
Investment is required along the City Rail Link corridor
|
There
is general support to invest along the CRL corridor and ensure the
benefits of the CRL investment are realised for the city. The
investment supports residential and commercial growth and safety and access
to and from the station portals. These programmes will be
developed and coordinated with City Rail Link/Link Alliance, Auckland
Transport and Panuku.
|
|
Support for ‘light touch’ programmes of work that
focus on opportunities to reflect culture, history and art, increase the
visibility of te reo in the city and look for opportunities to make the city
greener, healthier and more sustainable
|
There
was general support for the new Urban Neighbourhood enhancement and
wayfinding programmes that focus on creating a sense of belonging and
connection to place. These programmes will be defined over the next
year and will reflect the relevant social, economic and environmental
outcomes in the City Centre Masterplan.
|
The proposed investment portfolio
will focus on completing existing projects for the next three to five years,
with new programmes for 2025 onwards to focus on enhancing the wider City Rail
Link developments, enhancing urban neighbourhood and precinct developments
16. The
draft investment portfolio for 2021-2031 is outlined in Table One above and in
more detail in Attachment A.
17. Given
the budget constraints, there is unlikely to be any funding for new projects in
the next three to five years. The focus is on completing existing projects.
18. From 2025 onwards, the draft programmes focus on supporting growth,
enhancing urban neighbourhood and investing in City Rail Link precincts.
Initial assessments have been undertaken to ensure programmes align with the
City Centre Masterplan and to assess the interdependency, phasing, risks and
opportunities. A summary of these findings is attached Attachment B.
19. Since
the 23 November 2020 workshop with the board, some draft programmes have been
combined:
· the midtown
revitalisation programme (future budgets will look into areas such as: Aotea,
Albert Street, Federal Street Northern Precinct Stage B, Te Ha Noa Victoria
Linear Park)
· Urban Neighborhood Enhancement Programme (which now includes
wayfinding and public amenity).

highlighted that sustainability is a priority for the city centre.
21. The proposed city centre targeted rate investment portfolio will
help ensure future projects in the city centre continue to incorporate critical
environmental and climate change measures, such as sustainable procurement,
recycle-able and re-usable materials, opportunities to improve water treatment,

29. The city centre targeted rate currently expires in 2025 and if it is
not extended, the council is likely to have insufficient funding to fund the
proposed programme and realise the outcomes set out in City Centre Masterplan
beyond 2024/2025. A separate report for the extension of the city centre
targeted rate is on the board’s meeting agenda for 30 November 2020.

Next steps
30. Upon
receiving the Auckland City Centre Advisory Board’s endorsement and
feedback, the 2012-2031 programme will be reported to the Finance and
Performance Committee to be considered for adoption as part of overall
Long-term Plan 2021-2031 public consultation for early 2021, before the final
decision by the Governing Body in June 2021.
31. Staff will commence work to ensure a holistic approach is adopted
across the council group and with key stakeholders to deliver the 2021-2031
programmes and to realise the City Centre Masterplan outcomes.
