a) receive the Auckland Transport report for December 2020.

Horopaki

Context

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

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

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

5. This section of the report contains information about local projects, issues and initiatives. It provides summaries of the detailed advice and analysis provided to the local board during workshops and briefings.

Local Board Transport Capital Fund

6. At the October 2020 meeting, the local board approved the following funding allocation for the following projects:

i) $40,000 to deliver the Tourist-Monument electronic signage project, noting that progress on this project continues to be a matter of urgency as it addresses an ongoing and serious safety issue

ii) $205,000 to deliver the Shelly Bay Road kerb and channel improvements project

iii) $20,000 to complete design for the Station Road parking project.

7. The projects are being progressed with the current status shown in the table below:

Table 1: LBTCF Projects Status Updates

Project Name	Update/ Comments
Tourist-Monument electronic signage project	Design has been completed. Currently seeking internal approval for procurement.
Shelly Bay Road kerb and channel improvements project	This project is in the procurement stage. It will be advertised in late November 2020. If all goes well, a contract will be awarded and the contractor will commence on site in February 2021.
Station Road parking project	The design work is now completed. The project is ready for construction when funding is made available.

Community Safety Fund (CSF)

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

9. Safety projects for delivery in FY20/21 have been prioritised according to DSI (death and serious injury) data and therefore local board community safety fund projects will continue with planning and design but cannot be delivered in the 2020/2021 financial year.

10. Local boards will be advised of any change in the funding position that would allow projects to move from design into construction.

Responses to Resolutions

11. The most recent resolutions of the Franklin Local Board are recorded below in bold font, with the AT response directly below each resolution.

Resolution number FR/2020/93

b) endorse the proposal to investigate a demand-led transport trial in Pukekohe to be considered by the Auckland Transport board based on potential alignment with Franklin Local Board Plan 2017, specifically Outcome 3: An improved transport system.

12. Consultation opened in mid-November with guidance from local board’s engagement advisor on key stakeholders for engagement.

13. AT are seeking community feedback on the proposal to trial the replacement of the 391, 392 and 393 bus services with an on-demand rideshare service.

14. The survey is open until Sunday 29 November 2020. Which can be found online at: https://aucklandtransport.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eKk049UjIP9mVRX+

15. The trial is planned to go-live in early 2021, for a period of about 12 months.

c) request that demand-led transport trial be considered to support connection from Beachlands and Maraetai to the Pine Harbour Ferry, noting that the current bus service in Beachlands does not provide this connection and that this is a source of significant concern to the community.

16. At the current time, AT is not in a position to fund an on-demand service from Beachlands to Maraetai. The established priority areas are Pukekohe and Papakura.

17. A Beachlands/Maraetai service could be provided through a targeted rate though would require local board advocacy for this to be considered.

18. AT is planning to improve access to both ferry and bus services, but these additional services are subject to funding through the Long Term Plan, Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP), and agreements with service providers and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.

d) note with disappointment the missing monthly Franklin public transport usage report.

19. Please see Appendix 1 attached to this report for a summary of total bus and ferry patronage in the Franklin area to October 2020.

20. The full AT Metro bus performance report for patronage can be found at the following link including average daily bus patronage. https://at.govt.nz/about-us/reports-publications/at-metro-patronage-report/

Local Projects and activities

Rubber roundabout trial: Queen Street/Victoria Ave, Waiuku.

21. The intersection of Court, Queen St. and Victoria Ave has been identified as the most suitable site for a trial for a temporary-rubber roundabout.

22. Consultation for this project closed on the 16 September 2020.

23. Construction is programmed to be undertaken before the end of the year to tie in with the maintenance work that will be taking place in the vicinity of the intersection.

24. The most recent advice by the supplier is that due to COVID-19 restrictions and the increased demand on international freight it is possible that the product will not arrive in time to meet that target, so in the event that the roundabout does not arrive in the country in time to allow for it to be installed this year, the project will be completed as soon as possible in the new year.

Broken Yellow Lines in Pukekohe area

25. In September 2020 the local board requested that AT look at trialing broken yellow lines in areas where local residents had reported safety concerns in and around Lisle Farm Drive.

26. AT staff met with the Chair in early November 2020, and following that meeting are progressing with a Local Board BYL (broken yellow line) trial in the Pukekohe area.

27. Site visits are being undertaken at the agreed locations (Adams Drive and Lisle Farm Drive) and preliminary BYL options will subsequently be presented to the LB for discussion.

Regional Impacts

Commuter Calculator Campaign

28. AT has developed a useful online tool that enables customers to compare the cost and time taken to travel by car, versus train, bus or ferry.

29. In a few easy steps the Commuter Calculator helps customers make the comparison.

30. This could be a game-changer for some people who find it difficult to compare the cost and/or time taken to travel between home and work.

31. AT has developed the campaign in the style of a head to head title-fight poster. The only difference is it is ‘you vs you’!

32. The campaign started in early October and it is hoped it will encourage people to try the Commuter Calculator and find out that using the bus, train or ferry is a good option for their daily commute.

33. It will continue running through to early December. AT will reprise the campaign early in the New Year.

Auckland Freight Plan

34. As Auckland’s population continues to grow, so too does the demand for goods and services. However, it has become increasingly difficult to deliver goods to customers. Managing competing network demands with the safe, sustainable distribution of freight is a critical challenge for Auckland.

35. In 2017/18, 76.3 million tonnes of freight were moved within, to, from and through Auckland.

36. Freight in Auckland is expected to grow substantially over the next 30 years, with total freight carried in the region projected to increase to 108 million tonnes by 2046, influenced by population growth as well as trends in import, export and manufacturing.

37. Freight is a key enabler of economic activity and fundamental to the liveability of a city. Given so much of the freight that comes into Auckland stays within Auckland, this needs to be a core area of focus for Auckland Transport. More detailed information is also available online: https://at.govt.nz/aucklandfreightplan

Road Safety Program for Auckland

38. In the formulation of the emergency budget for Auckland Council and the Council Controlled Organisations for 2020/21, AT was requested to prioritise the Road Safety Program for Auckland on the basis of obtaining the highest reduction in Death and Serious Injury (DSI) possible for the funding available. In making this request council also supported the provision of an additional $27 million as part of the emergency budget to mitigate the scourge of road trauma that all too frequently visited upon Aucklanders, bringing the total budget for road safety for Auckland in the 20/21 financial year to $63.75 million (as compared to the pre-COVID19 budget of $107 million).

Vision Zero

39. In October 2019 the Auckland Transport Board adopted the Transport Safety Vision Zero Strategy and Action Plan for Tamaki Makaurau. This was in response to the alarming rates of DSI that were being experienced on Auckland’s roads, peaking at 64 deaths in 2017. Vision Zero is a human centred approach to transport safety, which holds that humans are vulnerable and that they make mistakes, but the overall transport system must be designed, constructed and operated in a manner that these mistakes do not result in death and serious injury. It focuses on four key pillars being Safe Road Use, Safe Vehicles, Safe Roads and Safe Speeds. The Vision Zero approach to road safety has been very effective in reducing DSI in developed nations such as the UK, Australia and Sweden where the Vision Zero approach originated.

40. In support of the Vision Zero Strategy and Action Plan the AT Board also approved a Road Safety Program Business Case (PBC), which was further endorsed by Waka Kotahi. The PBC articulated a broad program of investment in road safety interventions that forecast an ambitious reduction in DSI for Auckland’s roads of 60% by 2028.

41. A broad partnership approach to Transport Safety in Tamaki Makaurau has been adopted through the implementation of the Tamaki Makaurau Transport Safety Governance Group, with representation from AT, Auckland Council, Waka Kotahi, Ministry of Transport, New Zealand Police, Accident Compensation Corporation and Auckland Regional Public Health.

Formulation of the program

42. The 20/21 program has been formulated under the following broad categories consistent with the PBC and focused on optimising DSI reduction:

· Speed Management Projects – in support of Tranche 1 of the Speed Management Bylaw and investigation to support Tranche 2

· High Risk Rural – both Intersections and Corridors

· High Risk Urban – both Intersections and Corridors

· Vulnerable Road Users – Pedestrians, Motorcyclist and Cyclists

· Various other safety programs, Safer Communities, Minor Improvements, Safe

Schools and Community Safety Fund Projects

43. It should be noted that a $36.75 million portion of the 20/21 road safety program funds existing road safety commitments from the previous financial year; the additional $27 million of road safety program funding has been allocated to new projects

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

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

45. 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.

Franklin Local Board

08 December 2020

Approval for four new public road names at 24 & 36A Kingseat Road, Pukekohe

File No.: CP2020/17496

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek approval from the Franklin Local Board to name four new public roads, created by way of a subdivision development at 24 & 36A Kingseat Road, Pukekohe. The development is also referred to as ‘Patumahoe Hill’.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines (the guidelines) set out the requirements and criteria of the council for proposed road names. The guidelines state that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider /developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the local board’s approval.

3. On behalf of the developer and applicant, Searle Developments Ltd, consultant David Lawrie of Madsen Lawrie Surveyors Ltd has proposed the names presented below for consideration by the local board.

4. The proposed road name options have been assessed against the guidelines and the Australian & New Zealand Standard, Rural and Urban Addressing, AS NZS 4819:2011 (the standards). The technical matters required by those documents are considered to have been met and the proposed names are not duplicated anywhere else in the region. Mana whenua have been consulted in the manner required by the guidelines.

5. The proposed names for the four new public roads at 24 & 36A Kingseat Road, Pukekohe, are:

Table #1: Patumahoe Hill development - Proposed Road Names & Description (See Attachment A for road locations and labels)
ROAD 1 (Main road connecting existing Mauku Road to Kingseat Road).	Patty Hill Rise (applicant’s preferred name) or Trevor McMiken Drive (alternative)
ROAD 2 (short cul-de-sac off Road 1)	Membery Lane (applicant’s preferred name)
ROAD 3 (Circle / loop road off Road 1)	Kerr Crescent (applicant’s preferred name)
ROAD 4 (Small road connecting Kingseat Road to Road 3 loop road)	Syme Rise (applicant’s preferred name)
Pool of Alternative Names for Roads 2, 3 & 4:
These alternative names can be used for any of public roads 2, 3 or 4, with Drive / Lane / Crescent / Rise as appropriate to the road type (see paragraph 20 below)	Price Drive / Lane / Crescent / Rise
	Taewa Drive / Lane / Crescent / Rise
	Riki Drive / Lane / Crescent / Rise

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Franklin Local Board:

a) approve the following names for the four new public roads within the ‘Patumahoe Hill’ development at 24 & 36A Kingseat Road, Pukekohe, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60076512 and SUB60229444):

I) Public Road 1: Patty Hill Rise (applicant’s preferred name).

II) Public Road 2: Membery Lane (applicant’s preferred name).

III) Public Road 3: Kerr Crescent (applicant’s preferred name).

IV) Public Road 4: Syme Rise (assessed as most suitable name).

Horopaki

Context

6. Resource consent reference BUN60076512 (subdivision reference number SUB660229444) was issued in May 2017 for the construction of 77 new residential freehold lots, one public reserve, four public roads and six commonly owned access lots (COALs).

7. Site and location plans of the development can be found in Attachment A.

8. In accordance with the standards, any road including private ways, COALs, and right of ways, that serve more than five lots generally require a new road name in order to ensure safe, logical and efficient street numbering.

9. In this development only the four new public roads require road names. None of the six new COALs require road names because none of them serve more than five lots.

10. The new dwellings served by the COALs that do not require a road name will have street numbers allocated either off of existing Kingseat Road or off the newly named public roads, given that they can be accessed via either road.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

11. The guidelines set out the requirements and criteria of the council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming across the Auckland Region. The guidelines allow that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the Local Board’s approval

12. The guidelines provide for road names to reflect one of the following local themes, with the use of Māori names being actively encouraged:

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

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

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

13. There are four new public roads to be named. The roads have been numbered on the Scheme Plan as shown in Attachment A, and those numbers are referred to in the below table. A brief description of the location of each road is as follows;

· Road 1 – Main road connecting existing Mauku Road to Kingseat Road.

· Road 2 – relatively short cul-de-sac off Road 1.

· Road 3 – Circle / loop road off Road 1.

· Road 4 – Small road connecting Kingseat Road to Road 3 loop road.

14. Theme: The applicant has proposed names that are relevant to the history of the site and its previous owners, as well as some alternative names that reflect that the subject land was previously used for agriculture.

15. The applicant supports and demonstrates the local historical family theme. The development seeks to retain the existing old villa, which was built about 1911 by the Kerr Family. The Patumahoe History and Memories Community believes a previous home on the same site burnt down, certainly an earlier house did in 1868. When the Kerr’s sold the house and 35 acres in 1919 it was described as ‘probably one of the richest volcanic areas in the Dominion’. A Mr Price bought, then sold to the Syme family who owned the land and lived in the house from 1920-1929 but had to walk off in the depression. Mr Price took ownership again and leased the land to the McMiken’s (who had also walked off land in the Waikato) until they bought it in 1935.

16. The applicant proposed the name ‘Price Rise’ for Road 4, however, it is deemed that this name will perhaps sound strange and so it has not been recommended for use, as there are better options supplied in the table.

17. The proposed names and meanings, as described by the applicant, are set out in the table below:

Road number

Proposed name

Meaning (as described by applicant)

ROAD 1

Patty Hill Rise

(applicant’s preferred name)

Patty is short for Patumahoe, and the location is on a hill. The land to be developed is commonly known as Patty Hill by locals. Patty is synonymous with the local village area, as can be seen by historic shops in the area called the Patty Butcher, Patty Chippy and Patty Rugby Club.

Trevor McMiken Drive

(alternative)

In honour of the McMiken families who have farmed the subject land for several generations and have owned the land since 1935. Trevor McMiken, one of the brothers who the current owner acquired the land from, was instrumental in getting the land re-zoned for the current subdivision and has since passed away. The McMiken family share the Applicant’s desire to name the road area after the family or Trevor.

Road number	Proposed name	Meaning (as described by applicant)
ROAD 2	Membery Lane (applicant’s preferred name)	The Membery's were the former owners of the property and have strong links to Patumahoe through the ‘Services Vegetable Production’ years of World War 2 supplying the armed services with produce. Walter Membery served in World War 2 as confirmed in this link https://www.aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/online-cenotaph/record/125084.
ROAD 3	Kerr Crescent (applicant’s preferred name)	The Kerr family owned the subject land from 1865 to 1919 and built the old villa there around 1911, which is still existing and will be retained. They came to the local Patumahoe area on the emigrant ship ‘Dauntless’ which sailed from Dublin, Ireland in 1864.
ROAD 4	Syme Rise (applicant’s preferred name)	The Syme Family owned and farmed the land in the 1920s.
Pool of alternative for ROADS 2, 3 & 4	Price Rise (alternative 1)	The Price Family owned the subject land twice, first buying the land around 1919 from the Kerr Family, then selling to the Syme Family, and purchasing it again around 1929.
	Taewa Rise (alternative 2)	Te Reo Māori word meaning: (noun) potato. This reflects the previous agricultural use of the land.
	Riki Rise (alternative 3)	Te Reo Māori word meaning: (noun) onion or leek. This reflects the previous agricultural use of the land.

18. Assessment: All the name options listed in the table above have been assessed by the council’s Subdivision Specialist team to ensure that they meet both the guidelines and the standards in respect of road naming. The technical standards are considered to have been met and the names are not duplicated anywhere else in the region. It is therefore for the local board to decide upon the suitability of the names within the local context and in accordance with the delegation.

19. Confirmation: Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable for use and not duplicated elsewhere in the region.

20. Road Types: the appropriate road type depends on the form and layout of the road, as per the guidelines, therefore in this development certain road types are suited to certain roads:

· ‘Rise’ is most suited to Road 1, the main road within this development. The road will follow the sloping contours of the site.

· ‘Lane’ is most suited to Road 2, being a relatively short cul-de-sac off Road 1.

· ‘Crescent’ is most suited to Road 3, being a circle / loop road off Road 1.

· ‘Rise’ is most suited to Road 4, being a short road connecting to Kingseat Road. The road will follow the sloping contours of the site.

21. Consultation: Mana whenua were consulted in line with the processes and requirements described in the guidelines. Additional commentary is provided in the Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori section that follows.

22. Consultation with the McMiken family: The applicant had a meeting with the McMiken family on site to discuss the proposal and obtain their support in naming one road after the family or Trevor McMiken. The current owner obtained the land from the McMiken family. Trevor was instrumental in the re-zoning of the land for the new subdivision and has since passed away.

Local impacts and local board views

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

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

26. To aid local board decision making, the guidelines include an objective of recognising cultural and ancestral linkages to areas of land through engagement with mana whenua, particularly through the resource consent approval process, and the allocation of road names where appropriate. The guidelines identify the process that enables mana whenua the opportunity to provide feedback on all road naming applications and in this instance, the process has been adhered to. Two Te Reo Māori names have been proposed.

27. On 4^th November 2020 mana whenua were contacted by council on behalf of the applicant, through the Resource Consent department’s central facilitation process, as set out in the guidelines. Representatives of the following groups with an interest in the general area were contacted:

• Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki

• Ngāti Tamaoho

• Te Ākitai Waiohua

• Te Ahiwaru Waiohua

• Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua

• Ngāti Maru

• Waikato-Tainui

28. By the close of the consultation period, no responses, comments, or feedback were received. Dependent on the scale of the development and its level of significance, not all road naming applications receive comments from mana whenua.

29. This site is not listed as a site of significance to mana whenua. Two Te Reo Māori names have been proposed.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

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

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

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

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

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

33. Approved road names are notified to LINZ which records them on its New Zealand wide land information database. LINZ provides all updated information available to others, including emergency services.

Horopaki

Context

6. Resource consent reference BUN60351775 (subdivision reference number SUB60351777) was issued in October 2020 for the construction of 83 lots and five public roads.

7. One of these public roads is an extension to existing public road. The applicant requests to retain the existing road name out of respect for the existing residents, and to avoid any confusion of addressing along the continuous roadway.

8. The development is being marketed as ‘Kahawai Point’ and will be constructed in multiple stages. The names included in this report are proposed for Stage 4.

9. Site and location plans of the development can be found in Attachments A and B respectively.

10. In accordance with the standards, any road including private ways, COALs, and right of ways, that serve more than five lots generally require a new road name in order to ensure safe, logical and efficient street numbering. Therefore, the five public roads identified in this report all require new road names under the Standards.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

12. The guidelines provide for road names to reflect one of the following local themes with the use of Maori names being actively encouraged:

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

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

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

13. The applicant has engaged with Ngāti Te Ata directly and in collaboration they have come up with names centered around four themes: The first theme are of names beginning with “O” to refer to a place of belonging and are all Ngāti Te Ata “local” places i.e (located between Kahawai and adjacent Awhitu Peninsula). The second theme are of names associated to water, acknowledging the special cultural characteristics of the area. The third theme are of places of significance or awa located within the Kahawai block of land. The fourth theme are tupuna ancestor names that have had significant relationships with Kahawai.

Road number	Proposed Name	Meaning (as described by applicant and Ngati Te Ata)
ROAD 1	Orawahi Road (Applicant Preferred)	Refers to a place where health and associated wellbeing is developed
ROAD 2	Omahuru Road (Applicant Preferred)	Refers to a place focused on harmony and calm
ROAD 3	Papaka Avenue (Applicant Preferred)	Tupuna ancestor name that has had significant relationships with Kahawai
ROAD 4	Nola Avenue (Applicant Preferred)	To commemorate Nola Dawn Conroy nee McLarin. A descendant of the McLarin family line, who were the first European owners at Kahawai Point which Glenbrook and ‘McLarin Road’ are named after. ‘Nola’ was suggested by long-time local resident and direct descendant Mrs Judith Coe. Nola is Judith’s mother and was the sister of Ronald, which ‘Ronald Avenue’ in Glenbrook was named after. The applicant has provided a more detailed description of Nola (as supplied by her daughter Judith Coe), which can be found in Attachment C.

14. The Applicant has also provided a pool of names that can be use as alternatives at 35 Opouatu Avenue:

Pool of alternatives	Meaning (as described by applicant and Ngati Te Ata)
Otawahi Awa Avenue	Located on the Eastern Boundary of Kahawai denoting “the other side” of the Manukau Awa.
Manukau Avenue	Tupuna ancestor name that has had significant relationships with Kahawai
Wairua Avenue	The meeting place of two waterways is the essence of Wairua (spirituality) referring in this instance to the meeting of the Manukau Awa and Taihiki Awa creating and gathering life; fish, birds and humans that gather there. Wairua is also the traditional name for the area at the mouth of the Manukau entrance acknowledging the meeting place of two great waterways, the Te Moana o Manukau originally and Te Waihohonu o Rehua “The deep waters of the West Coast”.
Katipa Avenue	Tupuna ancestor name that has had significant relationships with Kahawai
Waitangi Avenue	Acknowledging the nearby waterfalls, a recreational retreat and a place for gathering tuna, kanae and matamata
Kaiarara Avenue	To be inspired and celebrate; located on the western boundary of the traditional Kahawai block of land
Ohiku Avenue	Refers to a place used to instil vigour in youth

15. All the name options listed in the table above have been assessed by the council’s Subdivision Specialist team to ensure that they meet both the guidelines and the standards in respect of road naming. The technical standards are considered to have been met and the names are not duplicated anywhere else in the region. It is therefore for the local board to decide upon the suitability of the names within the local context and in accordance with the delegation.

16. Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable for use and not duplicated elsewhere in the region.

17. All the road types listed are acceptable road types for the new public roads, suiting the form and layout of the roads, as per the Guidelines.

18. Mana whenua were consulted in line with the processes and requirements described in the Guidelines. Additional commentary is provided in the Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori section that follows.

The Guidelines identify the process that enables mana whenua the opportunity to provide feedback on all road naming applications and in this instance, the process has been adhered to.

23. The applicant engaged directly with Ngāti Te Ata, and together they developed names which reflected the special characteristics and history of Ngāti Te Ata. The naming of roads are important to Ngāti Te Ata as they offer them the opportunity to bring attention to the traditional history of Kahawai and surroundings, and to acknowledge tupuna “ancestors” great deeds and special events of the past.

24. The site is of significance to Ngāti Te Ata, and as they are the mana whenua of this area, no other mana whenua was contacted for feedback. The applicant and Ngāti Te Ata have built a strategic relationship over the development of Kahawai Point, with Ngāti Te Ata being regularly updated and engaged with by the applicant on the development’s progress.

Purpose of the report

1. To provide the Franklin Local Board with an integrated performance report for July to October 2020.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. This report includes financial performance, progress against work programmes, key challenges the board should be aware of, and any risks to delivery against the 2020/2021 work programme.

3. The key highlights and issues to note from this period are:

· ID: 589 Operational expenditure for the Franklin Arts Centre. The Franklin Arts Centre delivered 31 programmes with 49 sessions and received a combined total of 4,419 attendees and participants. Highlights included the exhibition and interactive workshops by artist Dr Ruth Gibbons which built awareness around the experience of living with dyslexia, and the contemporary Māori performance as part of the Matariki Festival that attracted around 80 whanau

· ID: 592 Youth: Franklin youth participation. Franklin Youth Advisory Board (FYAB) led the youth engagement for the Local Board Plan 2020, promoting it online and at the various high schools in the Franklin area. Over 100 submissions were received from young people. FYAB created a video of the key priorities young people identified which was submitted to the board. Public transport in the Wairoa subdivision was a high priority. FYAB developed youth-friendly infographics to engage young people through a targeted social media campaign. FYAB used the Local Board Plan engagement as an opportunity to connect with schools and build stronger relationships. FYAB ran a social media campaign de-stigmatising mental health and reinforcing positive mental health messages. An online Q&A with mental health experts was included

· ID:2429. Sunkist Bay Reserve - renew retaining walls. Renewed retaining walls to ensure stability. FY18/19 - investigation and design FY19/20 - FY20/21 project completed August 2020.

The procurement process for this project is complete and landowner engagement has begun at the top of the catchment (in the Franklin Local Board area). Engagement is planned to work down the catchment throughout the year. The contractor has developed survey material for assessing landowner perspectives.

· ID 1383. Access to Library services – Franklin. Auckland Libraries at all locations closed when Auckland went into lockdown level three on Wednesday 12 August at 11:59pm. All Auckland Libraries locations opened their normal hours in Alert-Level Two from Monday 31 August. It was most encouraging to see the uptake of issues for online items amongst our customers, as well as noting that the number of physical items issued per 'visit' increased, in spite of the decline in people coming through the door due to Alert Level restrictions. During the second lockdown period, staff from both libraries called elderly customers without internet services, resulting in some excellent conversations about library services.

· ID 58. Franklin Pool and Leisure Centre: operations. The Franklin Pool and Leisure Centre has struggled, like other businesses, to regain momentum following the second lockdown in August. The centre has seen an overall reduction in memberships, stadium usage and swim school. This quarter has seen a 61% reduction across all areas of the centre, compared to the same period last year. The fitness centre has performed a little better, with visitation down 36% compared to 60% and 84% in the pools and stadium respectively. The stadium's regular user groups are slowly returning now that the size of gatherings is back to normal

· ID 62. Te Puru Community Centre - Community Access Grant. The trust achieved all its KPIs and delivery requirements in 2019/2020. Programmes/initiatives were added to the programme. The trust acts as “one voice” for the park. Council’s grant was 49% of the trust's revenue in 2019/2020. The trust's grant under the Community Access Scheme has been extended for one year, until 30 June 2021. During the lockdown period in August 2020, the centre was closed for 19 days. In October, Franklin Local Board supported a review of the Community Access Scheme. The intention is for all council investment to align with council's new policy: Increasing Aucklanders' Participation in Sport- Investment Plan (2019).

· ID 68. local parks: Ecological volunteers programme FY21. Winter/spring community plantings held at Adah Platts reserve, Omana foreshore, Lady Jane reserve Waiuku, Awhitu beachcare.

School plantings - Rooseville Reserve with Valley School (45 participants). Ranger walks held at Clevedon Scenic Reserve (25 participants), Rooseville Reserve (10 participants)

4. All operating departments with agreed work programmes have provided an update against their work programme delivery. Activities are reported with a status of green (on track), amber (some risk or issues, which are being managed) or grey (cancelled, deferred or merged). There are no activities with a red status (refer to Attachment A – Franklin Local Board work programme update July – October 2020).

In the coming months activities are planned to increase possum control and expand the project area to include the Waiau Pā peninsula.

· ID 1535. Pest free Franklin. A funding agreement between Auckland Council and Predator Free Franklin has been signed. The local board funds will be complemented by funding from the natural environment targeted rate. This will allow Pest Free Franklin to expand its tools and resources to engage the community through events such as their trap distribution hub days. Te Ara Hīkoi has created a hub at Farrell’s nursery in Pukekohe. This is expected to benefit the business and Te Ara Hīkoi through attracting a wider audience for both.

· ID 1538. Ecological restoration plan implementation - Hūnua Domain Recreation Reserve. In the coming months contractors will be procured to undertake fencing work and pest plant control.

· ID 1539. Waterways Protection Fund – Mauku and Whangamarie Stream catchments. The application period for the fund has closed and staff have received four strong applications for funding. Two applications are second year projects and the other two are new applicants. Staff will conduct the review and site evaluations for funding approval to take place in the coming months.

· ID 1386. Whai Pūmanawa Literacy - we support communities to thrive (Pre-school) Wriggle and Rhyme continues to be popular at Pukekohe Library, after collaboration with parents who indicated that the current set-up of two sessions on a Friday suited them best. This collaboration has been extended to evaluate and adjust the current story time and rhyme time sessions to make them more relevant for the age-groups involved. Waiuku Library are reviewing the effectiveness of story time sessions as numbers have dropped away with the advent of COVID-19

· ID 1387 Whai Pūmanawa Literacy - we support communities to thrive (Children and Youth) Activities during the school holiday period were kept low key due to COVID-19. Activities were kept simple and run on a drop-in basis to reduce the number of people in the library at any one time. Activity booklets based on the holiday programme themes were made available to whanau who were reluctant to spend too much time at Waiuku library. Outreach and visits to preschool groups resumed when restrictions lifted. Pukekohe Intermediate School classes resumed visits to the library as soon as lockdown levels allowed; it has been a pleasure to see all the children in the library once more. Prior to the second lockdown View Road School in Waiuku brought the senior students to the library to learn research skills. Many of the students did not hold library cards at the time and have since joined the library.

· ID 1390 Taonga tuku iho - Legacy - we preserve our past, ensure our future. (Heritage). With the opportunity provided by the refresh of the Pukekohe library, a new collection of ‘Family History' has been established, highlighting the stories of the past from the area. We continue to partner with the Pukekohe branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists in the provision of space and expertise in the area of local history, as well as the ongoing work in the local Archives. Waiuku Library's genealogy group continue to meet when COVID-19 restrictions allow.

· ID 1846 Wider southern local settlements planning scoping study.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

17. Below are activities that have a direct Māori outcome focus with progress updates:

· ID 593. Local Māori responsiveness – Franklin. The Strategic Broker worked with local board services staff to develop the project plan for the Māori Input into local board decision making. Staff have completed a work programme that will deliver on the aspirations for mana whenua in the three-year local board plan.

The review of the Franklin Māori Responsiveness Action Plan has been completed and aligns well with the recommendations from the recent local board achievements report.

· ID 1385. Whakatipu i te reo Māori - we grow the Māori language celebrating te ao Māori and strengthening responsiveness to Māori. Initial co-design at both libraries on establishing contacts and interest for supporting the delivery of Te Reo classes within the libraries. Both Franklin libraries are providing support for the Te Hiringa Project - a different way of working for Māori specialists for an initial three-month pilot. Their focus is to work collectively on projects, engagement and programmes for delivery which have been identified as having direct impact on Māori communities across Tāmaki Makaurau.

· ID 1972. Youth Connections – Franklin. Te Ara Rangatahi was funded to work with 30 young people, they have worked with 35 rangatahi so far.

· ID 1529. Te Korowai o Papatuānuku stream restoration - project staff are in the process of procuring a contractor to deliver fencing, weed control, and planting work across the sites. The contractors are of Ngāti Te Ata whakapapa. Staff are also working with Ngāti Te Ata to secure a large number of funded plants through the One Billion Trees project with the Ministry for Primary Industries and Awhitu Landcare. If this funding is approved, it will allow more sites to be planted.

· ID 70 Wai o Manu Reserve development plan. A meeting with Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki and local board representatives was held in early September to discuss the scope of the management plan. A follow-up meeting will be held in December to confirm direction and the procurement process for engagement of a consultant to draft the management plan.

Financial implications

19. This report is provided to enable the Franklin Local Board to monitor the organisation’s progress and performance in delivering the 2020/2021 work programmes.

20. The financial report for the four months ended 31 October 2020 for Franklin Local Board is in Appendix B.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

21. While the risk of non-delivery of the entire work programme is rare, the likelihood for risk relating to individual activities does vary. Capital projects for instance, are susceptible to more risk as on-time and on-budget delivery is dependent on weather conditions, approvals (e.g. building consents) and is susceptible to market conditions.

22. Information about any significant risks and how they are being managed and/or mitigated is addressed in the ‘Activities with significant issues’ section.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

23. The local board will receive the next performance update for the period of November 2020 to February 2021.
