Te Kete Rukuruku programme - adoption of te reo Māori names, receipt of associated narratives and installation of bilingual signs at Moyle Park

File No.: CP2021/01119

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To adopt 62 of the tranche one te reo Māori park names and their associated narratives. 

2.       To approve Moyle Park as the location for the installation of bilingual park signage.  

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3.       In March 2019 the local board resolved (MO/2019/23) to invite mana whenua to name 123 parks in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu area, as tranche one of Te Kete Rukuruku, the Māori naming of parks and community places programme. 

4.       The Māori name will be added to the existing name resulting in a dual name for the site. Nothing will be taken away. 

5.       Sixty-two names from tranche one are now ready for formal adoption.  

6.       This report seeks the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board’s adoption of these 62 park names, receipt of narratives and approval to install bilingual signage in Moyle Park. 

7.       Communications to inform the stakeholders and communities around these parks will commence upon formal adoption of the names. 

8.       Where reserves are classified under the Reserves Act 1977, gazettal of the dual park names will occur once the names are adopted. 

9.       Of the remaining 61 parks where names are sought, one park is no longer in council ownership, 12 further names are expected to be received for adoption prior to 30 June 2021 with the remaining 48 available to be deferred to tranche two.  

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a)      adopts 62 te reo Māori names as dual names for parks as outlined in Attachment A

b)      receives the narratives which tell the story behind each of the names as outlined in Attachment A

c)      acknowledges that Auckland Council has agreed to enter into a mātauranga agreement that commits to upholding the correct use of the name and use it only for purposes that have a community outreach or educational purpose (non-commercial use)

d)      authorises the gazettal of park names listed in Attachment A, for parks classified under the Reserves Act 1977, in accordance with section 16 (10) of the Reserves Act   

e)      approves Moyle Park as the preferred location for the installation of bilingual signage. 

 

Horopaki

Context

10.     Te Kete Rukuruku is a culture and identity programme that collects and tells the unique Māori stories of Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland. It is a partnership between Auckland Council, 15 local boards, and all 19 mana whenua groups that have interests across the region - led by mana whenua.

11.     A key outcome of the programme is for te reo Māori to be seen, heard, learned and spoken. The programme contributes to reclaiming the Māori identity which is Tāmaki Makaurau’s unique point of difference in the world.

12.     A subset of the programme involves the reintroduction of ancestral and contemporary Māori names to the city’s parks and places.

13.     The rationale and benefits of the programme, as well as the process for identifying and adopting names and narratives, was agreed by Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board at its business meeting on 20 March 2019.

14.     On 20 March 2019 the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board invited mana whenua to provide Māori names and narratives for 123 parks (MO/2019/23). This was included in the board’s  FY20 work programme as tranche one and work commenced that year.

15.     Te Kete Rukuruku process, as agreed with mana whenua and local boards, is that te reo Māori names are being restored by mana whenua. Consequently public feedback on specific names is not sought. In some cases the Māori names have been attached to the park or area for hundreds of years prior to the English name being adopted.

16.     Existing park names are not removed and will not be lost.

17.     When received, the names will be accepted and adopted by the local board and communication and public notification will commence upon this formal adoption.

18.     A workshop was held on 27 May 2020 where the board agreed that due to the high number of parks the tranche may be split with a minimum of 60 parks being prioritised for tranche one and the remaining parks being deferred to tranche two if necessary.

19.     One park is identified within each tranche where signage will be reviewed and upgraded or replaced to include both Māori and English text. All signage will be bilingual within this selected park.

20.     The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board received a memo update at a workshop on 21 October 2020 when Moyle Park was suggested as the site for the installation of bilingual signage. The board were in support of the recommendation. Visuals of the signs are currently being drafted.

21.     Sixty-nine names were presented to the local board by mana whenua at a hui on the 9th February 2021 and are now ready for adoption.

22.     Iwi have advised that a further 12 names will be submitted this financial year and will be available for adoption prior to 30 June 2021 along with four library names.

23.     Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua and Waikato-Tainui recently withdrew from naming in this local board area so the parks allocated to them are not currently being named. These 48 remaining unnamed parks may need to be deferred into tranche two for reallocation.

24.     Once names are adopted signage will be replaced only when due for renewal except for the one bilingual park selected. Should the local board wish to upgrade signage sooner to reflect the new names, funding would be required from the board’s Locally Driven Initiatives fund.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Name adoption

25.     At its March 2019 meeting the local board resolved that the names and narratives will be adopted for use as names to enrich the stories of parks and support the Māori language to be visible, heard spoken and learnt.

26.     Once received the Māori names are not open for consultation.

27.     It is recommended that the board adopt the names as dual names as no parks have been identified for sole naming at this time.

28.     The local board may subsequently choose to remove the English name from the park and have a sole Māori name rather than a dual name. Consultation with stakeholders and those with an interest in the park is at the local boards’ discretion but would be recommended should the board wish to pursue this as an option.

Bilingual signage in Moyle Park

29.     In tranche one the board was offered the opportunity to select one park where all signage will be upgraded to be fully bilingual.

30.     At a workshop in October 2020 the board indicated their support for Moyle Park to be their first park to receive this fully bilingual signage.

31.     This bilingual signage is fully funded from the Long-term Plan regional funding for Māori outcomes.  No additional funding is required.

32.     The new signage will include:

·        dual language entrance signage stating the te reo Māori and English names

·        bilingual wayfinding, information and bylaw signage

·        a bilingual interpretative sign to tell the story behind the te reo Māori name.

33.     Existing signs will be reskinned, unless the signage is damaged or worn and needs to be replaced.

34.     Visuals of the park signage are being drafted and will be provided to the board prior to the signs being installed.

35.     Bilingual signage will visibly raise the profile of te reo Māori in the public domain. It will provide the opportunity to learn the story behind the name as well as making it easy for the public to familiarise themselves with and use te reo.

36.     If the local board do not approve the installation of bilingual signage at Moyle Park all signage will remain as is. Signage will then only be replaced either via the renewals programme or, if funded separately by the local board, as a stand-alone project from the Locally Driven Initiatives budget.

37.     For the reasons outlined above, it is recommended that the local board approve the installation of bilingual signage in Moyle Park.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

38.     There are no substantive climate change impacts relating to this matter.  

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

39.     The Te Kete Rukuruku project is a cross-organisational programme that delivers on council’s Māori Language Policy and Kia Ora Te Reo, which is a priority within Kia Ora Tāmaki Makaurau, the organisation’s Māori Outcome Performance Management Framework.  It also delivers on Kia Ora Te Ahurea (the Māori culture and identity outcomes) as the programme helps to reclaim our Māori identity and its unique point of difference in the world.

40.     The programme aligns with the aspirations of the Independent Māori Statutory Board (IMSB) as articulated in the Schedule of Issues of Significance 2017, Māori Plan.

41.     This programme is a partnership programme with the naming and narratives being led by mana whenua. It seeks to bring rigor to the process of naming across the council group over time.

42.     The programme has also triggered the development of new bilingual signage templates that may be used across the organisation in the future.

43.     Community Facilities are responsible for renewal of existing signage and will incorporate the new dual name as and when signage is renewed.  

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

Local impacts and local board views

44.     Through partnering with mana whenua on this project, it is envisaged that relationships between mana whenua and local boards will be strengthened.

45.     The programme’s recommendation of dual naming adds an additional name and narrative to each park, as opposed to taking anything away from the community.

46.     Dual language naming signage and bilingual signage help to enrich park user experience.

47.     Māori naming and dual language or bilingual signage of parks is directly aligned to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Plan 2020:

·    Outcome four: Celebrate our unique Tangata Whenua and Pasifika identities

·    Key Initiative: Initiatives to maintain Pasifika languages and traditional culture.

48.     When the 62 names have been adopted and their narratives received, the local board and Auckland Council are permitted to use them for community outreach and educational purposes (non-commercial).

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

49.   This project helps to increase Māori identity and belonging and is aligned with outcomes in the Auckland Plan.

50.   The project contributes towards outcomes from the Te Reo Māori Action Plan 2020-2023. The Action Plan brings to life the Māori Language Policy (2016) and describes actions to champion a bilingual city where te reo Māori is seen, heard, spoken and learned.

51.     Adopting the Māori name and narrative for 62 parks will increase the visibility of te reo Māori in the local board area, will safeguard the stories of mana whenua and help ensure their survival.

52.     Te Kete Rukuruku has sought to establish a best practice approach to Māori naming and the collection and sharing of stories.

53.     Mātauranga agreements are being developed to ensure that names and stories are protected by the council - tol uphold their correct use and use them only for purposes that have a community outreach or educational purpose (non-commercial use).

54.     As a partnership programme, all aspects of providing names and narratives has been led by the mana whenua of Tāmaki Makaurau. This is appropriate as mana whenua are those with the mana in this area to carry the responsibility for Māori naming.

55.     There are a large number of resident mātaawaka (Māori who live in Auckland and are not in a mana whenua group) who will have a great interest in these new names and narratives. This provides an opportunity to engage with mātaawaka Māori organisations and invite them to embrace and help champion the names and narratives once the names are adopted.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

56.     Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board has set aside Locally Driven Initiative (LDI) funding for this programme and this has been carried forward into the current financial year.

57.     This funding provides a partial contribution to mana whenua for their time in supporting the process including research and ratification.

58.     The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board allocated $30,000 for naming 123 parks as tranche one of this project. A minimum of 74 parks will receive dual names within this financial year and no additional funding is required.

59.     Sufficient funding remains this financial year to provide for a small community event to celebrate the unveiling of the bilingual signage in Moyle Park. The local board should advise if they wish to hold such an event and costings can be confirmed.

60.     Updated dual name signage for these parks will be delivered through Community Facilities’ existing renewals programmes.

61.     Bilingual signage for Moyle Park is funded by the Long-term Plan regional funding for Māori outcomes.

Risks and mitigations

62.     A number of risks and issues were highlighted at the outset of this programme or added as the programme has progressed including:

·    Multiple mana whenua having an interest in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu with differing views on naming.

·    Extended delays in the adoption of Māori names continuing the predominance of English only names and missing renewal opportunities.

·    Potential negative public reaction to the addition of Māori names.

·    Costs of replacement signage.

63.     These risks are carefully managed throughout the process and mitigated in a variety of ways including: 

·    Timeframes are extended when required to allow robust discussion around the names being submitted. The approach of the programme has been to focus on a quality outcome.

·    Splitting the tranche to allow for adoption of names as they are finalised rather than waiting for completion of the entire tranche. This is particularly relevant when high numbers of parks are being named.

·    The existing park name will be retained with the Māori named being returned/added. Nothing will be taken away. Communications with stakeholder and community groups will communicate this once the Māori names are adopted.

·    Signage will be replaced as it comes up for renewal with the only exception being the bilingual park where signage will be reskinned if replacement is not warranted.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

64.     Where reserves are classified under the Reserves Act 1977, gazettal of the dual park names will occur once the names are adopted.

65.   The names will be entered into the council’s website, GIS and SAP systems.

66.   Upon Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board’s formal approval, the process for installation of bilingual signs at Moyle Park will commence, with anticipated delivery in May 2021.

67.   Community Facilities will be advised of all names adopted so any signage being renewed will have the correct dual name.

68.     The Te Kete Rukuruku programme team will defer the remaining 48 parks into tranche two to be discussed and workshopped with the local board should the board choose to proceed with the programme.

69.     Tranche two funding will be sought for inclusion in the 2021/2022 work programme.

70.     The board should confirm if an unveiling event is required.

Communications approach

71.     At local board level, the local communications team will work with the board and mana whenua, with support from the programme team to develop communication outputs.

72.     Messaging will be focused on what the community is gaining and being proud of what we are doing for all Aucklanders.

73.     Local board communication channels will be used to get messages out, including Facebook pages and e-newsletters. The local communication team will also work with local boards to develop media opportunities with board members to share the messages with their networks.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

Mayflower Park

 

2.       Mayflower Park is situated at 5 Winthrop Way, Mangere described as Lot 167 DP 55383  along with Lot 2 DP 435787 which is situated at 93R Raglan Street, Mangere comprising an area of 2839 m2 and held on Record of Title 535267 (Mayflower Park). Refer Images 1 and 2 in Attachment A.

3.       Mayflower Park is held in fee simple by the Crown through the Department of Conservation as unclassified recreation reserve subject to the Reserves Act 1977, and vested in Auckland Council, in trust, for recreation purposes. 

Moyle Park - entrance

4.       The entrance to Moyle Park situated at 33R Watchfield Close, Mangere comprises an area of 101m2 on Lot 36 DP 66356 and held in fee simple by the Crown through the Department of Conservation as unclassified recreation reserve subject to the Reserves Act 1977, and vested in Auckland Council, in trust, for recreation purposes (Moyle Park land). Refer Image 3 in Attachment A.

5.       Moyle Park is made up of two parcels of land. The larger parcel comprises an area of 7.6432 hectares being Lot 1 DP 73266 and held by Auckland Council, in trust, on behalf of the Crown as a classified as recreation reserve. The smaller parcel, on Lot 36 Deposited Plan 66356, remains unclassified recreation reserve.

Reserves Act Classification

6.       It is a statutory requirement under the Reserves Act 1977 (the Act) that council classifies all reserves vested in it according to its primary purpose.  Where a reserve is awaiting classification (is unclassified) council as administering body of the reserve is unable to grant rights over the land such as leases, licenses, and easements until it is classified.

7.       Council staff recommend that the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board classify the land described in paragraphs 2 and 4 above, under section 16(1) of the Act as the most appropriate and the intended purpose when the reserves were vested.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Mayflower Park reserve

 

10.     Pursuant to the Land Act 1948, the two land parcels making up Mayflower Park were originally set apart as reserve for recreation purposes and pursuant to the Reserves and Domains Act 1953, vested in the Mayor Councillors and Citizens of the City of Manukau, in trust, for that purpose.

11.     The Mayflower Park land on Lot 167 DP 55383 and Lot 2 DP 435787 has not been classified and to comply with the Reserves Act 1977 classification is required under Section 16(1) of the Act.

Moyle Park reserve

 

12.     Pursuant to the Land Act 1948, the two land parcels making up Moyle Park were originally set apart as reserve for recreation purposes and pursuant to the Reserves and Domains Act 1953, and vested in the former Manukau city council, in trust, for that purpose.

13.     On 21 October 2020 the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board resolved to classify the larger parcel of land (Lot 1 DP 73266) at Moyle Park as recreation reserve pursuant to section 16(1) of the Act. 

14.     The smaller entrance area to the reserve at 33R Watchfield Close (Lot 36 Deposited Plan 66356) was not included in the report to the local board in October 2020.

15.     The Moyle Park land on Lot 36 DP 66356 has never been classified and to comply with the Act classification is required under Section 16(1) of the Act.

Kāinga Ora

16.     Mayflower Park reserve sits within Kāinga Ora’s Oranga Master Plan area which will see the removal of old state rental housing with modern replacement housing.

17.     Kāinga Ora is undertaking a major redevelopment in Māngere West which will include removal of old state housing and replacement modern housing.  Moyle Park reserve land on Lot 36 DP 66356 is located within the proposed redevelopment site.

18.     There is the potential to work with Kāinga Ora to achieve a better outcome for these reserves as part of the development. Separate reports will be presented to the board in respect to these projects.  This report, however, deals solely with classification of the reserves.

 

Reserves Act 1977

19.     The Act came into force on 1 April 1978 and requires that all reserves must be classified for their primary purpose.  

20.     The purpose of recreation Reserves as set out in Section 17 of the reserves Act 1977 is to provide “areas for the recreation and sporting activities and the physical welfare and enjoyment of the public, and for the protection of the natural environment and beauty of the countryside, with emphasis on the retention of open spaces and outdoor recreational facilities…”

21.     The recreation classification is the most appropriate and is the intended purpose for the reserves when they were originally acquired.

22.     While there is no provision under the Act requiring the council to publicly notify its intention to classify any reserve in terms of Section 16 (1) of that Act, engagement with iwi is necessary in terms of Section 4 of the Conservation Act 1987.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

23.     There will be no climate impact as the classification of the reserve is formalisation of the statutory requirement under the Reserves Act 1977.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

24.     The proposed classification has no identified impact on other parts of the council group. The views of council-controlled organisations were not required for the preparation of advice in this report.

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

Local impacts and local board views

25.     The Mangere Otahuhu Local Board holds the delegated authority under Section 16 (1) of the Reserves Act 1977 to resolve to classify Mayflower Park and Moyle Park reserves.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

26.     There is no express requirement to consult mana whenua under the Reserves Act. However, section 4 of the Conservation Act 1987 states:

4: Act to give effect to the Treaty of Waitangi

This Act shall be so interpreted and administered as to give effect to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.

27.     Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti O Waitangi and its broader legal obligations to Maori.  There is general agreement among mana whenua representative to the council’s assessment, rationale, and proposals for the classification of reserves.

28.     Iwi engagement for the larger parcel of land at Moyle Park was undertaken in September and October 2019 and no objections to the proposed classification were received at that time.

29.     Iwi identified as having an interest in the reserve land at Mayflower Park and Moyle Park were notified via email on 9 December 2020 and there have been no objections received to date.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

30.     There are no financial operational implications for the local board in the classification process.

31.     Publication in the New Zealand Gazette records the local boards resolution. A permanent public record of the classification will be obtained after registration of the published gazette notice.  The cost of publication is approximately $90 and will be met by Community Facilities.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

32.     It is a statutory requirement that the council classified reserves vest in it as administering body.

33.     Should the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board resolve not to classify Mayflower Park and the remainder of Moyle Park reserve, this decision would contravene the statutory requirements of the Act.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

34.     Subject to the local board approval, council staff will complete the statutory processes to publish a notice in the New Zealand Gazette to record the classifications.

Changes to the Community Facilities work programme 2020-2023

File No.: CP2021/00973

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek approval of changes to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Community Facilities work programme 2020-2023.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board approved the Community Facilities Work Programme 2020-2023 in August 2020 (resolution MO/2020/106).

3.       As projects progress through the design and delivery process the specific work required and the cost of delivery can change, impacting the approved budget.  As a result, variations are required to the work programme to accommodate final costs for some projects.

4.       Three projects which are approved for delivery in the financial year 2020/2021 Community Facilities Work Programme will be underspent by an estimated $367,343. The following projects/activities are proposed to be deferred due to the complexities and/or constraints of design and consenting requirements.

a)   SharePoint ID 2704 ‘Mangere Centre Park - renew and upgrade park assets’ - deferral of $140,000 in financial year 2020/2021 to financial year 2021/2022

b)   SharePoint ID 3076 ‘David Lange Park - develop destination playground’ - deferral of $120,000 in financial year 2020/2021 to financial year 2021/2022

c)   SharePoint ID 3078 ‘Cyclamen Park - Playground Renewal’ - deferral of $107,343 in financial year 2020/2021 to financial year 2023/2024

5.       Through the investigation of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system at the Māngere Arts Centre, together with subject matter expert input from council’s team, it was concluded that the existing HVAC system is adequately climate controlled and meets the requirements for its intended function.

6.       Once the investigation was completed for Māngere Arts Centre - upgrade heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system SharePoint ID 3325, it was determined that the approved project did not require further works to be undertaken. Therefore, it is recommended that the project is cancelled, and available funding of $100,000 realised in financial year 2021/2021, be reallocated to the next priority renewal project as described in this report. 

7.       Through the Community Facilities 2020–2023 work programme a number of projects were identified as a part of the Risk Adjusted Programme (RAP).  The identification of these projects enables the Community Facilities delivery team the flexibility to progress delivery if possible, in advance of the programmed year in order to ensure 100 per cent financial delivery for the 2020/2021 financial year. Staff have identified two projects planned for delivery in future years which can be delivered early, in FY2020/2021, to enable the urgent and necessary delivery.  These projects are described below, as follows:

a)   SharePoint ID 3375 ‘Moana-Nui-A-Kiwa Leisure Centre - renew various asset components – financial year 2022/2023’. On 3 January 2021 at 2.30am the heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) ducting on the deep end side of the pool collapsed onto the concourse. As a result of this, the indoor pool was closed and the site isolated. Staff propose to bring forward the project to commence delivery immediately to address the urgent health and safety concerns.

b)   SharePoint ID 2705 ‘Mangere East Library - comprehensive renewal’. The building suffers weathertightness problems which constitute a risk to safety, and to the library’s compliance with the Building Act and Building Code. Hence the urgency to solely address the weathertightness problems.

8.       The aforementioned ‘Risk Adjusted Programme (RAP)’ projects are all approved projects in the 2020–2023 Community Facilities work programme.

9.       Staff have identified one project that will cost more than the approved local renewals funding allocation in the 2020/2021 financial year. Additional roof works have now been identified at the Otahuhu Town Hall which was not part of the original scope. Weathertightness remediation works are proposed to be undertaken to the Otahuhu Town Hall dome shape roof, skylight and flat link area roof which will require additional funding, to the estimated value of $154,000.

10.     It is proposed that the budget of $100,000 from the Māngere Arts Centre - upgrade heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system SharePoint ID 3325, and the budget of  $54,000 from Mangere Centre Park - renew and upgrade park assets SharePoint ID 2704, is reallocated to ‘Otahuhu Community Centre [former Library] - roof renewal’ (SharePoint ID 2894) for the provision of additional works at the ‘Otahuhu Town Hall’.

11.     The proposed variations are within the local board 2020/2021 financial year budget envelope and will not substantially impact the approved projects or the overall work programme.

12.     Staff recommend that the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board approve the variations to the Community Facilities Work Programme 2020-2023.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a)      agree to cancel the community facilities work programme activity line Māngere Arts Centre - upgrade heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system SharePoint ID 3325 approved under MO/2020/106 with a local renewals budget (ABS Capex) of ‘$100,000 in financial year 2020/2021, due to the works no longer being required

b)      approve the reallocation of local renewals funding (ABS Capex) of $100,000 from the Māngere Arts Centre - upgrade heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system SharePoint ID 3325] and local renewals funding (ABS Capex)  of $54,000 from [Mangere Centre Park - renew and upgrade park assets SharePoint ID 2704 to the ‘Otahuhu Community Centre [former Library] - roof renewal’ (SharePoint ID 2894)

c)      approve the variation of the scope to the existing activity SharePoint ID 2894 Otahuhu Community Centre - roof renewal to reflect the change more accurately to ‘Otahuhu Town Hall and Community Centre [former Library] – renew roof’.

d)      approve the deferral of the 2020/2021 capital expenditure local renewals budget (ABS Capex) for the following capex projects:

i.    SharePoint ID 2704 ‘Mangere Centre Park - renew and upgrade park assets’ deferral of $140,000 in financial year 2020/2021 to financial year 2021/2022

ii.    SharePoint ID 3076 ‘David Lange Park - develop destination playground’ deferral of $120,000 in financial year 2020/2021 to financial year 2021/2022

iii.   SharePoint ID 3078 ‘Cyclamen Park - Playground Renewal’ deferral of $107,343 in financial year 2020/2021 to financial year 2023/2024

e)      agree to bring the following approved ‘Risk-Adjusted Programme (RAP) Projects’ forward, to enable the urgent and necessary delivery:

i.    SharePoint ID 3375 Moana-Nui-A-Kiwa Leisure Centre - renew various asset components – brought forward from financial year 2022/2023, to the value of $125,000

ii.    SharePoint ID 2705 ‘Mangere East Library - comprehensive renewal’ – brought forward from financial year 2021/2022, to the value of $128,533.

 

Horopaki

Context

13.     The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board approved the Community Facilities Work Programme 2020-2023 in August 2020 (resolution MO/2020/106). Budget allocations within the work programme are best estimates only. Project costings are subject to change and refinement as projects progress through the design and delivery process. As a result, amendments may be required to the work programme to accommodate final project costs.

14.     The delivery of the work programme in an efficient and timely manner requires amendments to be made to the agreed work programme. Such amendments include changes to project scope, budgets and timing.

15.     During November 2020 it was identified that a portion of the approved funding for three renewal projects is not required until financial year 2021/2022. This is due to the complexities and/or constraints of design and consenting requirements. Funding will be available in the 2021/2022, 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 financial years respectively to undertake the investigation, design, and delivery stages for the renewal of the playground at David Lange Park, Mangere Centre Park and Cyclamen Park. Details of the three projects are shown in Attachment A of the agenda report.

16.     Where activities are cancelled or no longer required, the local board can reallocate the budget to an existing work programme activity or create a new activity.

17.     An approved project proposed to be cancelled is the Mangere Arts Centre – upgrade heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. This will realise a saving of $100,000 in financial year 2020/2021. The details of which are laid out in Attachment B to the agenda report.

18.     Community Facilities staff have investigated funding requirements for all projects approved for delivery in financial year 2020/2021. One project requires additional funding to deliver additional work, consequently increasing the cost of construction. Moreover, projects have been identified which could be delivered early. Delivery of these projects will ensure the spend of all ABS: Capex – Local Renewal funding available in financial year 2020/2021.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

19.     Staff recommend variations to the Community Facilities work programme 2020-2023 for the financial year 2020/2021 as outlined in Attachment C of the agenda report. 

Recommended changes to the work programme

20.     During late December 2020 staff determined that approved projects in the Community Facilities work programme will have an underspend of approximately $467,343 due to the complexities and/or constraints of design and consenting requirements.

21.     To ensure that the Long-term plan funding envelope for ABS: Capex – Local Renewals is spent during financial year 2020/2021, staff have identified projects which can be delivered early and a project which requires additional funding to deliver. 

22.     Attachment C details projects which can be delivered in the current financial year, earlier than planned, and are estimated to cost $253,533.

23.     The Otahuhu Community Centre [former Library] - roof renewal was recently completed. However, additional works have been identified at the Otahuhu Town Hall and engineers estimates for work have been received.  This project requires additional funding to undertake the proposed additional roof renewal work at the Otahuhu Town Hall. The proposed cost to deliver the roof renewal is estimated at $154,000 and details are outlined in Attachment D.

24.     There is a $100,000 of unspent Local Renewal (ABS Capex) funding in financial year 2020/2021 currently allocated to the Māngere Arts Centre - upgrade heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system SharePoint ID 3325] and a budget of $54,000 from Mangere Centre Park - renew and upgrade park assets SharePoint ID 2704.

25.     Staff recommend that the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board use the savings realised from the financial year 2020/2021 Local Renewal (ABS Capex) Fund and consider allocating additional funding to enable the delivery of the additional roof renewal works at the ‘Otahuhu Town Hall’.

26.     Some of the project funding outlined above are estimates only. Staff will ensure that the proposed variations are within the local board’s financial year 2020/2021 budget envelope and will not substantially impact the approved projects or the overall work programme.

27.     Staff note that there are projects that are being delivered under the projected budget, which will enable the overall Community Facilities work programme budget to balance by the end of financial year 2020/2021.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

28.     The council’s climate goals as set out in Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan area:

·    To reduce greenhouse gas emissions to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and

·    To prepare the region for the adverse impacts of climate change.

29.     The budget variations have no direct effect on climate change.  Each project will be considered individually to assess the impacts of climate change and the approach to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The sorts of impacts to be considered include:

·    maximum upcycling and recycling of old material

·    installation of energy efficiency measures

·    building design to ensure the maximum lifetime and efficiency of the building is obtained

·    lifecycle impacts of construction materials (embodied emissions)

·    exposure of building location to climate change hazards (sea level rise, flooding (floodplains), drought, heat island effect)

·    anticipated increase in carbon emissions from construction, including contractor emissions

·    lifecycle impacts of construction materials.

Council group impacts and views

30.     The decision sought for this report has no direct impact on other parts of the council group.  The overall 2020-2023 work programme was developed through a collaborative approach by operational council departments, with each department represented in an integrated team.

31.     Where appropriate, subject matter expert advice has been sought from other departments of council relating to specific work programme items.

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

Local impacts and local board views

32.     Community facilities and open spaces provide important community services to the people of the local board area. They contribute to building strong, healthy and vibrant communities by providing spaces where Aucklanders can participate in a wide range of social, cultural, art and recreational activities.

33.     Community Centres, halls and libraries support the social, cultural, and educational needs of the community. Parks, sports facilities, playgrounds and swimming pools provide recreation and leisure opportunities. These activities improve lifestyles and create a sense of belonging and pride amongst residents.

34.     The activities in the work programme align with the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Plan 2020 outcomes and objectives:

Outcome 

Objective 

Outcome 2: We are building well-connected, engaged and active communities

Community facilities meet our diverse needs, enhancing our lifestyles, culture, and wellbeing

 

35.     The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board approved the Community Facilities Work Programme 2020-2023 in August 2020 (resolution MO/2020/106). 

36.     The proposed project amendments to the approved work programme, including changes to budget allocation and timing, were discussed with the local board at a meeting held on 26 January 2021 and a workshop on 3 February 2021.

 

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

37.     Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its broader obligations to Māori.

38.     The Community Facilities Work Programme ensures that all facilities and open space assets continue to be well-maintained assets that benefit the local community, including Māori.

39.     Where aspects or the work programme are anticipated to have an impact on activities of importance to Māori, then appropriate engagement will be undertaken.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

40.     The proposed variations are within the local board 2020/2021 financial year budget envelope and will not substantially impact on the overall work programme.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

41.     The COVID-19 pandemic could have a further negative impact on the delivery of the work programme if the COVID-19 alert level changes.

42.     If the proposed variations to the work programme are not approved, there is a risk that the projects identified may not be delivered within the 2020/2021 financial year.

43.     If the roof leaks are not repaired at the ‘Mangere East Library’ and ‘Otahuhu Town Hall’ in a timely manner, the assets may deteriorate further, causing significant structural damage. The result of this may be incredibly costly.

44.     Furthermore, the water leak in the roof can encourage mould and mildew, causing serious health issues. Additionally, the rainwater leaking through the roof onto the floor makes the floor slippery, creating a hazardous unsafe environment and posing a health risk to the building occupants and members of the public. It is imperative to ensure the building is restored to building code requirements, to avoid further damage or the development of more severe problems, and to address urgent health and safety concerns.

45.     Due to the recent collapse of the large air conditioning duct at Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa Pool and Leisure Centre, Auckland Council wish to progress this work sooner than anticipated within the current work programme and consider it necessary for this project to be completed in financial year 2020/2021.

46.     If the air conditioning duct is not upgraded at Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa Pool and Leisure Centre, the asset may deteriorate further, and the pool will need to remain closed indefinitely until the renewal works can occur.

Local board views on private plan change 57 for 57 Grange Road, 2 Grange Road and 69A Omana Road, Papatoetoe

File No.: CP2021/00683

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To invite local board views on a private plan change by the Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club for 57 Grange Road, Grange Road, 2 Grange Road and 69A Omana Road, Papatoetoe.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Decision-makers on a private plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan must consider local boards’ views on the plan change, if the relevant local boards choose to provide their views.

3.       Each local board has an opportunity to communicate the interests and preferences of people in its area on Auckland Council policy documents, including private plan changes.  A local board can present local views and preferences when expressed by the whole local board.[1]

4.       The Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club lodged a private plan change for 57 Grange Road, Grange Road, 2 Grange Road and 69A Omana Road, Papatoetoe.  The private plan change would change the Auckland Unitary Plan by changing the zoning from Residential Mixed Housing Urban and Residential Terrace House and Apartment Building zones to Open Space – Sport and Active Recreation zone (OS-SAR).

5.       Many of the submissions on the private plan change raise questions as to the efficacy of this proposed change of zoning and whether the land could be used more efficiently for residential use.

6.       This report is the mechanism for the local board to resolve and provide its views on private plan change 57.  Staff do not recommend a view the local board should convey.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a)      provide local board views on private plan change 57 by the Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club, 57 Grange Road, Grange Road, 2 Grange Road and 69A Omana Road, Papatoetoe

b)      appoint a local board member to speak to the local board views at a hearing on private plan change 57

c)      delegate authority to the chairperson of the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board to make a replacement appointment in the event the local board member appointed in resolution b) is unable to attend the private plan change hearing.

·    interests and preferences of people in local board area

·    well-being of communities within the local board area

·    local board documents, such as local board plan, local board agreement

·    responsibilities and operation of the local board.

27.     The Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club has advised that it corresponded by email in March 2020 with 17 iwi authorities within an interest in the local area. Ngāti Tamaoho responded by email in support of the proposed rezoning, while Te Ahiwaru Waiohua did not oppose the rezoning. No other responses were received.

28.     Auckland Council contacted the relevant iwi authorities when the private plan change was publicly notified on the 19 November 2020. No submissions were received from iwi authorities on the proposed Plan Change 57.

File No.: CP2021/01102

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To invite the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board’s views on a Notice of Requirement (NoR) an alteration to Designation 6302 by KiwiRail Holdings Ltd for the North Island Main Trunk Railway line.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Decision-makers on a Notice of Requirement to the Auckland Unitary Plan must consider local boards’ views on the Notice of Requirement, if the relevant local boards choose to provide their views.

3.       Each local board has a responsibility to communicate the interests and preferences of people in its area on Auckland Council policy documents, including NoRs.  A local board can present local views and preferences when expressed by the whole local board.[5]

4.       KiwiRail Holdings Ltd [KiwiRail], as the Requiring Authority [RA], has served a notice of requirement [NoR] on Auckland Council [the council] to alter designation 6302 for the North Island Main Trunk Railway line [NIMT]. More particularly this alteration would enable the Wiri to Quay Park project [W2QP] and provide for the construction of a third track for the NIMT line from Middlemore Station to Wiri Junction.

5.       The NoR was limited notified on 22 October 2020 and submissions closed on 20 November 2020. Seven submissions were received including responses from the Counties Manukau District Health Board [DHB], Watercare and Auckland Transport [AT]. The DHB raised concerns about the impact on the operations of the hospital, Watercare seek conditions to protect their assets and AT request additional conditions to address traffic issues. One private land owner has requested further information about time scales for development and the need to acquire land on a temporary basis.

6.       This report is the mechanism for the local board to resolve and provide its views on the NoR.  Staff do not recommend a view the local board should convey.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Notice of Requirement overview

14.     This NoR was lodged by KiwiRail Holdings Ltd and is for an alteration to Designation 6302 for the North Island Main Trunk Railway line. There are four separate spatially based packages of work involved in this project overall. In particular this NoR would enable the Wiri to Quay Park project [W2QP] and provide for the construction of a third track for the North Island Main Trunk Line [NIMT] from Middlemore Station to Wiri Junction.

15.     The broad locality of the site is shown in Figure 1 below. Most of the works would occur within the existing rail corridor and therefore are not within the scope of the NoR and will be subject to a future outline plan of works [OPW] or resource consent applications.

Figure 1: General location of NoR and surrounding area – from Middlemore Station to Wiri Junction

16.     This NoR would affect a relatively small area of land located alongside the existing designated rail corridor from Middlemore Station to Wiri Junction and includes an upgrade of Middlemore Station. The NoR would enable the designation of 3.6 ha of land of which 1.15 ha will be permanent and 2.45 ha will be temporary, outside the existing designated rail corridor. The subject corridor’s current footprint is 175 ha.

17.     The NoR will provide for the construction of a third track [known as the third main] for the North Island Main Trunk Line [NIMT] including: -

·    installation of a new 3.6 km track between Middlemore Station and Wiri Junction

·    an upgraded Middlemore Station, including an extension of an existing pedestrian bridge and the provision of a 6-car platform (with provision for a future 9-car platform)

·    reorganisation of car parking at Middlemore Hospital to address physical severance

·    installation of above ground rail infrastructure including overhead lines and their support poles along the length of the corridor

·    the construction of retaining walls to stabilise railway cuttings mostly at Papatoetoe Station at the western edge of the corridor at the rear of the Station Rd properties

·    utility relocations

·    stormwater infrastructure.

Most of the physical works required for the third main [e.g Overhead Line Equipment (OLE), tracks and drainage] will be located within the existing designation.

The NoR also seeks to designate an area of land which forms part of the outer northbound track that runs below State Highway 20 [SH20] at Wiri but does not currently show as being designated.

18.     The nature of the construction works associated with this NoR includes three temporary site yards – the main one at Middlemore Station. Access is required at several locations along the rail corridor [a Construction Traffic Management plan will be covered under the Outline Plan of Works] and associated earthworks would be covered under resource consents and contaminated soil management which would be subject to a Soil Management Plan or the  National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health [NESCS] as required.

19.     The construction works are proposed to start in late 2021 and will take up to three years to complete.

20.     The Notice of Requirement includes technical reports that evaluate:

•     The Notice of Requirement for KiwiRail Holdings Ltd, Wiri to Quay Park project, dated September 2020, Jacobs (Assessment of Environmental Effects)

•     noise and vibration by Marshall Day Acoustics dated 10 July 2020

•     contaminated land by Jacobs dated 5 June 2020

•     transport assessment by Jacobs dated 9 September 2020

•     arboricultural report by The Tree Consultancy Company dated 9 July 2020

•     archaeology and built heritage by CFG Heritage Ltd dated 25 June 2020

•     stormwater assessment by Jacobs dated 14 July 2020.

21.     The reports and other application details are available from council’s website at Link to document.

22.     Council’s planner, and other experts, have evaluated and will report on:

·   technical reports supplied by the applicant

·   submissions

·   views and preferences of the local board, if the local board passes a resolution.

 

23.     KiwiRail requested that the NoR be limited notified and under delegated authority council confirmed this on 20 October 2020. The NoR was notified on 22 October 2020 and submissions closed on 20 November 2020.

Themes from submissions received

24.     Key submission themes are listed below.   

·    Additional conditions required in regard to the Construction and Traffic Management Plan [CTMP] to include purpose and general effects of transport/traffic; details around changes at Middlemore Station including works around Orakau Road; effects on parking supply; co-ordination of works at Puhinui Sation required and further conditions requested at resource consents and Outline Plan of Works stage of the NoR at both Papatoetoe and Middlemore Stations [from Auckland Transport].

·    Watercare request additional conditions to protect its assets and want to be involved in the project development up to and throughout the construction period. 

·    The NoR does not address effects on DHB land and operation of Middlemore Hospital and its associated building including noise and vibration; disruption to pedestrian access; health and safety effects including dust generation; potential flooding and stormwater effects; lack of information around regional consents and the process around resource consents [from Counties Manukau District Health Board]. 

 

·    More detailed information sought in regard to specific properties as these are intended for redevelopment including why land is required; timeframes; details on temporary occupation, details on engineering plans and the process around Outline Plan of Works [from a private landowner]. 

·    Kāinga Ora want to be kept informed about the NoR process and want to be included in additional consultation with landowners in the area to determine the final mitigation and raise issues around operational noise and vibration effects on surrounding residential developments.

·    Heritage NZ’s comments relate to provisions pertaining to the protection of historic heritage particularly the concentration of heritage features at Papatoetoe Station and seek  additional conditions to provide surety that the historic heritage and special character values identified in relation to these sites will be appropriately considered and provided for within the Outline Plan of Works and reference is also made  to archaeological issues.

·    Additional information and/or conditions in relation to the access and car parking around the hospital car park during construction works and on an on-going basis; impact on the traffic network; the NoR process and details at Outline Plan of Works/resource consent stage; on-going communication needed to ensure construction and operational effects are appropriately managed [from Accident Compensation Corporation].

31.     Factors the local board may wish to consider in formulating its view include:

·    interests and preferences of people in local board area

·    well-being of communities within the local board area

·    local board documents, such as local board plan, local board agreement

·    responsibilities and operation of the local board.

32.     KiwiRail stated that they engaged with the local board prior to lodgement. Feedback at that stage is informal. Restrictions on delegations prevent that informal feedback from being the views of the local board.[7]

33.     This report is the mechanism for obtaining formal local board views. The decision-maker will consider local board views, if provided, when deciding on the NoR.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

34.     If the local board chooses to provide its views on the NoR, it includes the opportunity to comment on matters that may be of interest or importance to Māori, well-being of Māori communities or Te Ao Māori (Māori world view). In the 2018 census 13,392 residents in the local board area identifed as Māori.    

35.     KiwiRail has engaged with local iwi to help identify key cultural issues associated with the project and address any potential effects this may raise. Engagement with iwi will continue and will inform the future outline plan and resource consents for the third main works.

36.     Engagement will occur around the development of the Middlemore Hospital landscaping plan to ensure it addresses both the cultural values associated with native flora and meets hospital (and AT) operational requirements and design elements  incorporating elements of storytelling/cultural history into the design of the pedestrian bridges and station platform changes.

Public feedback on proposal to amend the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014

File No.: CP2021/00530

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek views on public feedback to the proposal to amend Te Ture ā-Rohe Whakararata Waipiro/the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 before a final decision is made.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       To enable the local board to provide its views on public feedback to the proposal to amend the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014, staff have prepared summary and deliberation reports.

3.       The Bylaw continues to enable alcohol bans in public places to reduce crime and disorder caused or made worse by alcohol consumed there.

4.       The proposal seeks to improve the Bylaw by including new temporary alcohol bans for major events at Rarotonga/Mount Smart Stadium, Waiōrea/Western Springs Stadium, Eden Park and Pukekawa/Auckland Domain, and by making the Bylaw easier to read and understand.

5.       Staff recommend that the local board provide its views on public feedback to the proposal, and if it wishes, present those views to the Bylaw Panel. Taking this approach will assist the Panel and Governing Body to decide whether to adopt the proposal.

6.       There is a reputational risk that feedback from the local board area is from a limited group of people and does not reflect the views of the whole local board area. This report mitigates this risk by providing local boards with a summary of all public feedback.

7.       The Panel will consider all local board and Auckland Domain Committee views and public feedback, deliberate and make recommendations to the Governing Body on 19 March 2021. The Governing Body will make a final decision on 29 April 2021.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a)      note the public feedback to the proposal to amend Te Ture ā-Rohe Whakararata Waipiro / the Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 by people from the local board area in this agenda report.

          [Recommendations (b), (c) and (d) are optional]

b)      adopt the following views on the public feedback in (a) to assist the Bylaw Panel in its deliberations on all public feedback to the proposal:

i)     [local board to determine at meeting]

c)      appoint [insert one or more local board members] to present the views in (b) to the Bylaw Panel on Friday 19 March 2021.

d)      delegate authority to the local board chair to make replacement appointment(s) to the persons in (c) if a member is unavailable.

Context

The Alcohol Control Bylaw enables council to make alcohol bans

8.       Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Te Ture ā-Rohe Whakararata Waipiro/the Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 (Bylaw) aims to help reduce crime and 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, local boards and the Auckland Domain Committee.

10.     The New Zealand Police enforce alcohol bans.

Council proposed amendments to improve the Bylaw for public feedback

11.     On 24 September 2020 the Governing Body adopted a proposal to improve the Bylaw for public consultation (Item 15, GB/2020/109).

12.     The proposal arose from a statutory review of the Bylaw (see figure below).

13.     The proposal seeks to better reduce alcohol-related crime and disorder by making:

·    new temporary alcohol bans for major events[9] at four regional venues (Rarotonga/Mount Smart Stadium, Waiōrea/Western Springs Stadium, Eden Park and Pukekawa/Auckland Domain)

The local board has an opportunity to provide views on public feedback

15.     The local board now has an opportunity to provide its views on public feedback to the proposal by people from the local board area before a final decision is made.

16.     Local board views must be provided by resolution to the Bylaw Panel. The local board can also choose to present those views to the Bylaw Panel on 19 March 2021.

17.     The nature of the views is at the discretion of the local board. Any views must however remain inside the scope of the proposal and public feedback. For example, the local board could:

·    indicate support for public feedback by people from the local board area

·    recommend how the Bylaw Panel should address matters raised in public feedback.

Local impacts and local board views

26.     Local board and Auckland Domain Committee views were sought on a draft proposal in July and August 2020 as they have delegated authority to make local alcohol bans.

27.     Nineteen local boards and the Auckland Domain Committee provided views and all supported public consultation on the proposal.

28.     Four local boards suggested changes, some of which resulted in updates to the draft proposal (click link to view in 01 September 2020 Regulatory Committee agenda, Item 9).

29.     This report provides an opportunity for the local board to give views on public feedback to the proposal by people from the local board area, before a final decision is made.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

30.     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.

31.     Māori health advocacy organisations, Te Puni Kōkiri and the Tūpuna Maunga Authority support the use of alcohol bans as a tool to reduce alcohol-related harm.

32.     The Tūpuna Maunga Authority provided general feedback on the proposal noting that Tūpuna Maunga are subject to alcohol and smoke-free policy that supports the spiritual, cultural and community significance of the maunga.

33.     The majority of people identifying as Māori who provided feedback support the proposal. This is consistent with the overall percentage of public feedback in support.

Financial implications

34.     There are no financial implications from this decision.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

35.     There is a reputational risk that feedback from the local board area is from a limited group of people and does not reflect the views of the whole local board area. This report mitigates this risk by providing local boards with a summary of all public feedback.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

36.     The Bylaw Panel on 19 March 2021 will consider all formal local board and Auckland Domain Committee views and public feedback, deliberate, and make recommendations to the Governing Body. The Governing Body will make a final decision on any amendments to the Bylaw on 29 April 2021.
