It is recommended this agreement is negotiated to include the applicant paying Council a 10 year contribution to maintenance costs.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Puketāpapa Local Board:

a) recommend Auckland Council enter into an infrastructure funding agreement for the Freeland Avenue character street development with Kāinga Ora, which includes the applicant paying Council a 10 year contribution to maintenance costs in one lump sum to be agreed between Council and Kāinga Ora.

b) approve the design for the character street shown on the Mt Roskill South play street Engineering Plan Approval plan (attached at appendix A) prepared by Isthmus and Kāinga Ora dated 3^rd November 2020 for the proposed development of the Freeland Avenue Character Street and approve that the asset be taken on by Council upon practical completion.

c) delegate through the Chief Executive that the General Managers of Community Facilities and Parks Sport and Recreation assess and approve engineering detail for the Freeland Avenue character street development.

Horopaki

Context

4. The Freeland Avenue character street was identified as one of the “Key Moves” as part of the Roskill South neighborhood masterplan developed in 2018. The play street concept was presented to the Puketapapa Local Board (the local board) in February 2019.

5. Council has been provided with a proposed concept plan for the installation of a Character Street by Kāinga Ora to be constructed at their cost within Freeland Avenue.

6. On 2^nd July 2020 at a workshop, the local board considered the concept plan (dated 27 February 2020) for the proposed character street, along with asset considerations and implications. The Local Board feedback highlighted the novelty of the proposal in activating the streetscape and that a more in-depth discussion about the design and its relationship with Freeland Reserve was required.

7. On 27^th August 2020 at a workshop, the local board considered the updated concept plan (16 July 2020) which showed the proposed pedestrian crossings at key points.

8. Specific feedback regarding the updated concept plan (16 July 2020) was provided by the local board on 10^th September 2020.

9. Kāinga Ora is now progressing the Engineering Plan Approval for the Freeland Avenue Character Street and Council will assess and approve engineering detail based on the local board’s decision on this business case.

Analysis and advice

10. The Freeland Avenue character street concept plan was presented to Council for review and feedback.

11. The proposal has been assessed from a maintenance, safety, accessibility and design perspective by Council Staff across Community Services and Community Facilities.

12. The following changes were made to the concept plan by Isthmus following initial Council officer feedback:

· Pedestrian raised tables with formal zebra crossings were provided near Turner Reserve/ Freelands Avenue reserve and the pedestrian link to May Road School. Signage will also be incorporated as part of this.

13. AT has confirmed a detailed review of the suitability of these locations will be undertaken at engineering plan approval stage.

14. To date, Parks, Sport and Recreation (PSR) and Community Facilities staff have discussed the concept plans and support the overall concept, with final details to be approved at engineering plan approval stage. The Community Facilities Landscape Architecture team are satisfied with the assets proposed and will confirm robust design at engineering plan approval stage. Parks & Places are also supportive of the overall development proposal. The Community Facilities Asset Management Team have assessed the ongoing operational costs and are satisfied with the assets proposed.

Climate impact statement

15. It is anticipated that with the planting of 19 new specimen trees and planted back berms, that there will be a net positive benefit to climate change. The trees will over time absorb and store the carbon dioxide emissions created by human activities in relation to construction and travel to and from the character street. Freeland Avenue is an important route to local amenities and schools, including May Road School, Freeland Reserve and Turner Reserve, and it is expected that the majority of users will use the play space while on a walking commute, or walk to the street as a destination for informal play.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

16. Following consultation with Auckland Council staff, the following improvements to the concept plans were requested:

· Interface with Freeland Reserve- clustering of play structures in relation to reserve entrances.

· Public safety and managing risk- consideration for how the design treatments will inform and be compatible with the anticipated transport environment and transport related activities expected along Freeland Avenue. This includes the legibility of the design elements for all road users to ensure that any safety and potential conflicts are avoided. Ensure the concept is designed in conjunction with the overall local road network outcomes to reduce speeds (i.e. 30 km/h speed environment) and in turn minimise the risk of a death or serious injury.

· Quality and functionality of streetscape structures - materials that are safe (anti-slip), durable and low-maintenance for the long term.

· Suitability of structures within the streetscape environment - Community Facilities view that bug hotels are too fragile for the street environment.

· Landscaping- raingardens, street trees and planting palettes are suitable as soft landscape buffers or barriers between road and play.

· Utilities location to ensure there is minimal conflict.

Local impacts and local board views

17. Local Board workshops were held on 2^nd July 2020 and 27^th August 2020 with feedback given 10^th September 2020. The following suggestions were made and are addressed here for the local board’s benefit:

Maintenance

18. The local board requested a 10-year commitment from Kāinga Ora for maintenance. Council is still is discussions with Kāinga Ora but it is recommended that the asset is only accepted if a 10-year maintenance commitment is agreed to.

Interface with Freeland Reserve

19. A query was raised about whether the play elements could be located within the Freeland Avenue reserve. In general, the local board supported the interactions with the reserve, liked the cluster of play elements at the entrance to Freeland Avenue reserve and that these help build connections with Turner Reserve. The board was also happy with the number of wooden steppers.

Kāinga Ora noted that the intention is to activate the street, moving play elements into the park does not support this intention.

Footpath graphics

20. The local board were keen to see a range of treatments applied to the footpath graphics and supported the idea of inset elements into the footpath, as well as painted ones. The local board liked the idea of playful paint that shows up when it rains/glow in the dark. It was requested that the finish and ongoing maintenance be high quality for any footpath graphics and all painted graphics should be inset.

The request was made that the design of ‘inset eels’ that are to be used in Freeland Reserve were continued along the character street to help integrate the park and street.

It is recommended that these details are addressed and approved at engineering plan approval stage.

Bug Hotels

21. The local board did not support these and asked for these to be removed due to maintenance issues and concerns over potential for damage by the public. Bug friendly planting was sought as an alternative. This will be provided, and the bug hotels have been removed from the engineering plans.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

22. Kāinga Ora legislation requires partnership and early and meaningful engagement with Māori and offer Māori opportunities to participate in urban development.

23. The KO Roskill Delivery Team has engaged at project level with Nga Mana Whenua o Tamaki Makaurau. These engagements have evolved as the projects have developed and the relationship has strengthened.

24. KO continue to work both at an individual and collective level with Mana Whenua governance and kaitiaki who have determined for themselves an interest in the Mt Roskill Project.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

25. The local board has decision making responsibility for the development and management of the Freeland Avenue Character Street playful space as the asset will be vested to Council. A high-level assessment of the current consequential opex per annum has been estimated by Community Facilities for all of the landscaping works to be approximately $12,177.49 ex GST subject to detailed design. The consequential opex per annum is estimated to fall within a range between $7,348.77 ex GST (low) up to $25,325.89 ex GST (high) and is expected to commence following practical completion in accordance with an Infrastructure Funding Agreement that will be agreed. Practical completion is expected to be in the 2020/21 financial year.

26. It is anticipated that with local board support this playful street space will be added to Council’s asset register and Council will be expected to commence maintenance of the street in the financial year 2020/21 following practical completion, to be funded using the 10 year maintenance contribution to be paid for by Kāinga Ora in one lump sum. If approved, annual maintenance will be paid for by the consequential opex budget, after the 10-years of maintenance by Kāinga Ora ends.

27. Agreement has been obtained from the Lead Financial Advisor, from the Corporate and Local Board Performance, Financial Strategy and Planning team with regards to the consequential operating expenses that will be created by this proposal.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

28. Risks for the delivery of the playful street are cost escalation, and inadequate handover. These items can be managed via an Infrastructure Funding agreement that will be signed by both the developer’s representative and Council to ensure that proper handover of all documents, warrantees, as-builts and producer statements occurs. Engineering plan approval will also be required before construction commencement.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

29. The developer wishes to develop the Freeland Avenue character street as soon as possible once the local board’s approval is granted, engineering plan approval has been obtained and the infrastructure funding agreement has been signed. Once approval to a concept plan has been provided, then Council staff will work with Kāinga Ora and Isthmus on engineering details of the proposed development to ensure the proposal meets the Council’s construction standards.

Approval for a new private road name at 22 Hoskins Avenue, Hillsborough

File No.: CP2020/17835

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek approval from the Puketāpapa Local Board to name a new private road, being a commonly owned access lot (COAL), created by way of a subdivision development at 22 Hoskins Avenue, Hillsborough.

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, Fraser Heaven of Newhaven Hoskins Trustee Limited, consultant Mel Rodgers of Brian Cowley Surveying Limited 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 new private road at 22 Hoskins Avenue are:

· Āio Lane (Applicant Preferred and supported by Te Kawerau ā Maki)

· Kārewarewa Lane (Alternative 1 and supported by Te Kawerau ā Maki)

· Grannies Bay Lane (Alternative 2)

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Puketāpapa Local Board:

a) approves the name Āio Lane (applicant’s preferred name) for the new private road, being a commonly owned access lot created by way of subdivision at 22 Hoskins Avenue, Hillsborough, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60316415 and SUB60316419).

Horopaki

Context

6. Resource consent reference BUN60316415 (subdivision reference number SUB60316419) was issued in December 2018 for the construction of nine new residential freehold dwellings and one commonly owned access lot (COAL).

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.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. Theme: The applicant has chosen names relating to the local landscape and fauna present in the local area, as described in the table below:

Proposed name	Meaning (as described by applicant)
Āio Lane (Applicant preferred)	Te Reo Māori word meaning to be calm and at peace with the environment. Given the way the site interacts with the local stream and bush, this name is considered appropriate.
Kārewarewa Lane (Alternative 1)	Te Reo Māori word for the New Zealand Falcon, otherwise known as a Bush Hawk. Being so close to the Hillsborough Reserve, hawks are local to the area and thus a linkage to the site.
Grannies Bay Lane (Alternative 2)	The site overlooks nearby Grannies Bay.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. Road Type: ‘Lane’ is an acceptable road type for the new private road, suiting the form and layout of the COAL, as per the Guidelines.

15. 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.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

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

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

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

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

Local impacts and local board views

18. 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

19. 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.

20. On 29^th September and 9^th November 2020 mana whenua were contacted by the applicant, as set out in the Guidelines. Representatives of the following groups with an interest in the general area were contacted:

· Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki (Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Tribal Trust)

· Ngāti Maru (Ngāti Maru Rūnanga Trust)

· Ngāti Pāoa (Ngāti Paoa Iwi Trust)

· Ngāti Pāoa (Ngāti Paoa Trust Board)

· Ngāti Tamaoho (Ngāti Tamaoho Trust)

· Ngāti Tamaterā (Ngāti Tamaterā Settlement Trust

· Ngāti Te Ata (Te Ara Rangatu o Te Iwi o Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua)

· Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara (Ngā Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara Development Trust)

· Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei (Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Trust)

· Te Ahiwaru – Waiohua (Makaurau Marae Māori Trust)

· Te Ākitai Waiohua (Te Ākitai Waiohua Iwi Authority)

· Te Kawerau ā Maki (Te Kawerau Iwi Settlement Trust)

· Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua (Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua)

· Waikato – Tainui (Te Whakakitenga o Waikato Incorporated)

21. Feedback from Robin Taua-Gordon of Te Kawerau ā Maki was received, supporting the names ‘Āio’ and ‘Kārewarewa’.

22. No further responses, comments, or feedback from other mana whenua were received.

23. This site is not listed as a site of significance to mana whenua and two Te Reo Māori names are proposed.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

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

25. 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

26. 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

27. 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.

Auckland Transport December 2020 Report

File No.: CP2020/18374

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To provide an update to the Puketāpapa Local Board (the Board) on Auckland Transport (AT) matters in its area and an update on its local board transport capital fund (LBTCF).

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. This report highlights AT activities in the Puketāpapa Local Board area and contains information about the following:

· 2019-2021 Local Board Transport Capital Fund Update

· Public consultations and decisions of the Traffic Control Committee in the Puketāpapa Board area.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Puketāpapa Local Board:

a) receive Auckland Transport’s update report for December 2020.

Horopaki

Context

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

4. This report updates the Puketāpapa Local Board on AT projects and operations in the local board area, it updates the local board on their consultations and includes information on the status of the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF).

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

· be safe

· not impede network efficiency

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

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF)

6. The Puketapapa Local Board resolved at its November meeting of the Board the following:

That the Puketāpapa Local Board:

a) receive the Auckland Transport’s update report for November 2020.

b) approve the Local Board Transport Capital Fund allocation of $167,138 to the following projects:

· Puketāpapa Greenways $162,138 for the delivery of stage 1 of route D.

· Hillsborough Road Signalised Crossing (at Goodall Street) $5,000 towards the design phase.

Next Steps

7. Auckland Transport will come back to the Board at the next stage to give you an update in the new year.

AT Says New Multi-Agency Report Recommends A Key Tool for Getting Auckland Moving More Efficiently

8. Introduction of congestion charging would be an important tool for creating a more efficient road network and a more productive Auckland.

9. Officials from six agencies in central Government and Auckland Council, including AT, have been working on a project called The Congestion Question (TCQ) to identify how to get people moving more efficiently in Auckland. Initial key findings have been released in a technical report which looked at 26 options.

10. The pricing would bring significant benefits for all Aucklanders, including more reliable journey times across the city, increased business productivity, improved air quality and lower vehicle emissions.

11. The suggested charges would improve the performance of motorways and main roads by eight to 12 per cent and have about the same impact on overall road efficiency as seen during school holidays.

12. The benefit of congestion pricing over current road pricing methods is that it would incentivise Aucklanders in private vehicles and who have a choice to travel outside of times where congestion charges apply, or walk, use public transport or bicycles, or other low impact modes.

13. The report found that having an access charge for private vehicles to enter key areas of the city during peak times from Monday to Friday would have the most impact and be fair for all.

14. Priority-based and distance-based charges were considered but using access charges means travellers who live in outer suburbs without access to public transport are not faced with higher costs for longer trips.

15. The recommended first phase of the congestion pricing scheme is in 2025 with a comprehensive rollout over the following ten years.

16. For more information on the multi-agency Congestion Question report, visit: https://www.transport.govt.nz/area-of-interest/auckland/the-congestion-question/

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

17. 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.

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

Council group impacts and views

19. The impact of information in this report is mainly confined to Auckland Transport. Where LBTCF projects are being progressed by Auckland Council’s Community Facilities group, engagement on progress has taken place. Any further engagement required with other parts of the Council group will be carried out on an individual project basis.

Duke Street – Speed Bumps Visibility

20. As a result of the concerns raised regarding the visibility of the speed bumps, an engineer reviewed the location for safety concerns.

21. The markings on the speed bumps are standard and appropriate for the location, Auckland Transport will not be making any changes to these.

22. However, there are warning signs for the speed bumps which are currently obscured by foliage. AT will be sending a request through to Auckland Council, as vegetation maintenance comes under their jurisdiction, to have this trimmed back so that the signs can be seen clearly

Damage to road surface, Oakdale Rd (near intersection with Richardson Rd)

23. Auckland Transport Road Corridor Delivery team will do a temporary patch of the road at this location.

24. The permanent fix will likely be a granular dig to strengthen the road pavement. However, this will require approval and a site visit to confirm it is appropriate given the damage. Approval usually takes about a month, and then we will schedule and undertake the work in the following weeks.

25. The Roskill South shops have been added onto an ongoing enforcement roster as requested, effective from 12 November 2020.

26. The request for a time restriction; AT has programmed a piece of work to review parking restrictions at several locations along Dominion Road, this would include the area that was mentioned.

27. Any change to a parking restriction or indeed a new restriction is required to be consulted on and approved by The Auckland Transport Traffic Control Committee. This process would usually take 4 to 6 months. It is AT preference to consider such changes as part of a package and we will therefore look at your request as part of our Dominion Road work package which is due to begin in April 2021.

Auckland Transport Plan on HOP Cards – Information Update

28. AT are working on a new concept that will provide an alternative payment method for customers who don’t have a HOP card available, or who have no funds on their card. Pending the go-ahead, AT would look to trial this early next year (2021) to see if it is feasible to roll out regionally. This new concept involves customers pre-purchasing travel passes at a retail network much more substantial than the current HOP card network.

29. Aside from this, our HOP retail team added around 90 retailers where HOP cards can be purchased a couple of months ago.

30. Customers can also purchase HOP cards online and have them posted. The cost is $15 - $10 for the card cost and $5 credit loaded, with no postage costs. The HOP team have also started doing pop up service centres at schools and other community hubs using their mobile CSC.

Risks and mitigations

36. Auckland Council adopted its Emergency Budget 2020/2021 at the end of July 2020.

37. AT’s capital and operating budgets have been 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.

38. Both the Community Safety Fund and the Local Board Transport Capital Fund are impacted by these budget reductions.

39. To mitigate this risk, AT attended board workshops in September 2020 to discuss with local boards how to get best value from their 2020/2021 LBTCF allocations. Community Safety projects will continue in design and will be delivered once funds become available.
