Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Waiheke Transport Forum:

Horopaki

Context

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

6.       This report updates the Waiheke Local Board on Auckland Transport (“AT”) projects and operations in the local board area, it updates the local board on their advocacy and consultations 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

Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF)

7.       The LBTCF is a capital budget provided to all local boards by Auckland Council and delivered by Auckland Transport. 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

8.       With the Auckland Council’s emergency budget now confirmed, the LBTCF for the 20/21 financial year has been set at $5.0 million for allocation across the 21 local boards. Allocation will still be based on the Local Board Funding Policy. Decisions about the 21/22 and 22/23 financial years will form part of the Long-Term Plan/Regional Land Transport Plan (LTP/RLTP) discussions but early indications are that these years will also see a more constrained capital programme than prior to the COVID crisis.

9.       Advice from the Finance Department is that with specific budgets unknown for 21/22 and 22/23 financial years, boards are unable to combine future years allocations into a single project.

10.     Boards are encouraged to target delivery of smaller projects or complete design and documentation for a project than can be physically delivered in 21/22.

11.     The Waiheke Local Board share of the 20/21 LBTCF allocation is $97,061.

12.     The local board agreed at the November business meeting to allocate $25,000 of the LBTCF allocation to install two shelters on the taxi rank platform at Matiatia. These shelters were installed in December 2020.

13.     Auckland Transport will work with the local board to discuss and advise on the best use of the remaining budget.

Community Safety Fund (CSF)

14.     The CSF is a capital budget established by Auckland Transport for use by local boards to fund local road safety initiatives. The purpose of this fund is to allow elected members to address long-standing local road safety issues that are not regional priorities and are therefore not being addressed by the Auckland Transport programme.

15.     The CSF is funded from Auckland Transport’s safety budget and is dependent on the level of funding AT receives from Council. This level of funding has been constrained through the Emergency Budget process. Public consultation and design work is progressing so that projects are designed and ready to go when the money becomes available.

16.     Safety projects will be prioritized according to DSI (death and serious injury) data and therefore local board community safety projects will continue with planning and design but may not be delivered in the 20/21 financial year.

Update on Auckland Transport operations:

17.     Management Accounts for the AT administered Hauraki Gulf Islands (HGI) wharves for the six-month period 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2020.

 

 

 

Items to note: Renewals

18.     $1.04m for Matiatia: wharf upgrade, new pontoon & gangway works and enabling works (backup berth).

19.     $59k for Kennedy Point Ferry terminal western ramp extension finishing work with main to STF Limited.

Update on Auckland Transport operations:

20.     The table below has a general summary of projects and activities of interest to the local board with their status. Please note that:

·    All timings are indicative and are subject to change.

·    The Waiheke Operations Manager will update the local board in the event of any amendments or changes to the summaries provided for below.

 

Activity

Update

Wharves

Matiatia Wharf (main)

The project to replace the old gangways, pontoon and hydraulic lifting system at the southern berth is currently out to market.

 

The preliminary design and modelling was completed and released on 22 Dec 2020 to the Government Electronic Tender Service (GETS) with a design build tender closure date of 18 March 2021.

 

The northern berth preliminary design and modelling is almost complete and additional funding sought for the increased scope and upgrade to make the site fully compliant for all vessels once the southern berth tender is closed.

 

A clearer understanding of costs will be known once information has been received back from suppliers on 18 March. Funding is expected to come from both Capex and Renewal allocations.

 

Once tenders for this work is received, it will be clearer as to how long the main berth may be out of action while the works are undertaken. Indicative contingency planning suggests an estimated 2-4 weeks.

 

Planning for the relocation of ferries and public to the old wharf is currently underway, and includes items such as provision of temporary shelter, moving of HOP machines, waiting areas, etc.

 

Sea trials with Fullers is also being arranged to confirm wharf configuration and aid with the planning for passenger movements.

 

The project manager for this project is currently collating all planning information and will provide an update to the local board for their input and consideration.

 

Matiatia Wharf (old)

Project objective: To enable commuter vessels to berth at this wharf in the event of emergency or as back up to works taking place on the main berths

 

The works to reconfigure the gangway and use of the inner berth pontoon commenced in October and was available for general use prior to Christmas.

 

To provide increased safety for use by the largest vessel, some fender fences required replacing with longer timbers. These works planned to be complete by end February 2021.

 

Matiatia Wharf (toilets upgrade)

Construction works on upgrading the toilet facilities at the Matiatia ferry terminal commenced on site 16 November 2020.

 

The new facilities include:

·    A new building to accommodate females, containing seven toilets and three hand wash basins.

·    Existing male/female facility will be renovated to accommodate the males with three toilets, four urinals and three hand wash basins.

·    The existing facility will also house a new accessible facility and a unisex toilet, each with its own hand wash basin.

·    A new canopy over the extended portion of the building.

 

Current Progress:

·    The external building structure is currently being clad.

·    New overhead canopy waterproofing is complete and structural steel columns installed.

·    All interior plumbing and electrical works completed during February.

·    The bike racks have been temporarily relocated to outside the terminal entrance and the lower car park. This has worked well for users in the interim, with these racks intended to be relocated to their original position once the construction is complete.

·    The relocation of racks to the old wharf entrance will take place once the wharf works are complete end February.

·    The completion date for the new toilet facilities was fixed at 3 March 2021, however progress on site suggests that the project is tracked to achieve completion on Friday 5th March 2021.

 

Kennedy Point

·    Final painting completed December.

·    New fendering on the front face is complete.

·    New safety chains installed early February.

·    Fendering lights being installed mid-February.

·    Final site walkover with McCallum’s and Sealink planned before end February.

 

 

Temporary closure of berths 2B and 2C at Downtown Ferry Terminal

Downtown - Temporary closure 9 Feb -

Waiheke ferry services currently operating from berth 2B and 2C are temporarily relocated from 9 February, for approximately three weeks, to the recently completed berths at Piers 1D & 1E.

 

This means all Waiheke ferry services will be temporarily departing and arriving at Downtown Ferry Terminal berth at Pier 1D & E.

 

The temporary shift is to facilitate works in the Ferry Basin, installing fender piles to protect the northern deck of Te Wananga, and the newly created downtown public space.

 

These works are part of the Downtown Programme’s Ferry Basin redevelopment project.

Matiatia mobility car parks (keyhole and carpark)

Parking restriction controls have been put in place to deal with issues caused by the inappropriate use of the two mobility parks closest to the ferry terminal.

 

Time limits are changed from P30 to P2 to provide mobility permit holders a pick up and drop off point close to the terminal.

 

38 parking spaces in the lower Matiatia carpark are available for mobility permit holders requiring a longer stay.

 

Matiatia carpark

(lower sealed)

 

Two refurbished bus shelters were installed on the taxi rank platform in the lower carpark during December.

 

Additional directional signage for the taxi rank in the carpark is proposed for installation.

Metro Ferry Services

Ferry Services

Patronage for the month was notably down in January 2021 versus the same period last year.

 

The reasons for this are difficult to understand, and whilst the observations from December’s patronage are still relevant – the drop off in international / cruise ship, day trippers to the island is being compensated a noticeable increase in longer-stay visitors to the island – observations across Auckland as a whole for the month appears to suggest that residents spent longer periods outside of Auckland during the holiday periods.

 

Vehicular ferry patronage continues to grow strongly, which supports the view that visitors are staying longer on the island.

 

Overall, there were no major issues or incidents reported to date over the summer period with capacity and queues.

 

COVID-19

Crew and passenger compliance with Ministry of Health guidelines and Health Notices appears to continue to be good. Issues of interpretation remain regarding mask compliance and the sale of Food and Beverage for customers.

 

Crew and AT / Fullers360 messaging continues to support the requirement for masks to be worn whilst on board ferries; but continued support and enforcement management will be required from police if compliance levels are to significantly improve.

 

Regular audits of QR Codes and MoH / COVID related posters continue, as does the deep cleaning of vessels by Fullers360.  Fullers360 will be updating on-board announcements during February.

 

During the month, Fullers360 rolled out the sale of masks on-board vessels which supports the initiative introduced by AT in December 2020.

 

Contingency planning continues to be delivered if Alert Levels change in the future. Should Auckland revert to an Alert Level 3 or 4, then timetables like those in place during 2020 will be introduced. AT and Fullers will provide updates on any changes.

 

America’s Cup Service Delivery

January saw the delivery of the ‘PRADA Challenger Series’ regatta, which was delivered with minimal issue.

 

The timetables delivered were the same as those used for the Christmas Cup, it is likely that the same Waiheke timetable will remain in place for the remainder of the racing over the summer.

 

Quay Street works

The Downtown Programme is a $350m six-project joint-venture between Auckland Council and Auckland Transport which is transforming Quay Street, creating a revitalised waterfront area with wider footpaths, easier navigation, new street furniture, more trees, and greater opportunity for business and events.

 

Consented site working hours

Bus Patronage

Overall patronage on the island is around 75% of 2019 levels.

 

 

504 bus service consultation

AT consulted during December with users of the 504 bus service for their feedback on four options for the future of this service.

 

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, AT needs to reduce its public operating budget by $10million and is therefore making changes to bus services across Auckland.

 

This service currently takes people between Waiheke Road and Ostend at peak commuting times on weekdays only.

 

Under all options, Waiheke Road would continue to be served in the peak direction only. In the morning, buses will only run down Waiheke Road towards Onetangi; and in the evening, buses will only run up Waiheke Road towards Belle Terrace.

 

Option A: No change to 504 route
504 would continue to run between Waiheke Road and Ostend. People travelling between Waiheke Road and Matiatia Ferry Terminal would continue to transfer between the 504 and 50A on Belgium Street. The 504 and 50A would still be timed to connect on Belgium Street, and the 50A would still be timed to connect with the ferry at the Matiatia Ferry Terminal.

Option B: Waiheke Road would be served by select 50A trips
People travelling between Waiheke Road and the Matiatia Ferry Terminal would have a single-seat journey that was timed to connect with the ferry service; but a less direct route than at present. The 504 would no longer run.

Option C: Waiheke Road would be served by select 50B trips
​​​​​People travelling between Waiheke Road and the Matiatia Ferry Terminal would have a single-seat journey; but the route would be slightly less direct than at present and transfer times between the bus and the ferry would be longer than at present. The 504 would no longer run.

Option D: 504 would run between Waiheke Road and Onetangi
​​​​​​People travelling between Waiheke Road and the Matiatia Ferry Terminal would need to transfer between the 504 and 50A on Fourth Avenue. The 504 and 50A would be timed to connect on Fourth Avenue, and the 50A would still be timed to connect with the ferry at the Matiatia Ferry Terminal.

 

Feedback closed on 20 December 2020, and any changes are planned to occur later in 2021. AT will advise the local board of the changes planned.

 

 

Update on Auckland Transport projects:

21.     This list is initially an update on the projects outlined in the “Waiheke 10 Year Transport Plan: Project Lists draft for consultation June 2019”.

22.     Progress on these projects are subject to the outcomes from the Emergency Budget 2020/2021.

Risks and mitigations

36.     Auckland Transport is reviewing our annual works programmes in response to Auckland Council’s emergency budget adopted at the end of July 2020.

37.       Auckland Transport’s capital and operating budgets have been reduced through this process, so some projects planned for 2020/21 may not able to be delivered.

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