Horopaki
Context
6. On
14 September 2020 the Mayor announced that Auckland Council, as Ports of
Auckland’s sole shareholder, would carry out an independent review of
health and safety at Ports of Auckland, following the death of a stevedore,
Palaamo Kalati, on 30 August which was the third
death at or connected to the port’s operations since 2017.
7. The
terms of reference for the review were approved at the Governing Body meeting
on 24 September 2020 (GB/2020/104). CHASNZ were commissioned to undertake an
independent review of health and safety at Ports of Auckland.
8. The
focus of the review was to assess and
comment on Ports of Auckland’s systemic management of its critical risks
for health and safety (including hazard identification, risk assessment,
monitoring controls and resilience) and the health and safety culture at Ports
of Auckland.
9. For
the purposes of fact-checking and natural justice, both Auckland Council and
Ports of Auckland through their respective Chief Executives, had an opportunity
to comment on a draft of the report prior to CHASNZ finalising the
report. CHASNZ has completed its review and the final report is provided
at Attachment A. This was released publicly on 30 March 2021.
10. A Governing
Body workshop was held on Monday 12 April 2021 to discuss the final
report. Roger McRae (Chair) and Chris Alderson (Chief Executive) from
CHASNZ presented the key findings and recommendations of the report and took
questions.
Tātaritanga me ngā
tohutohu
Analysis and advice
Key findings and recommendations
11. A general
summary of key findings and recommendations from the final report are:
· there are systemic problems at Ports of Auckland Limited (POAL) in
relation to critical health and safety risk management and organisational
culture that relate to health and safety
· although POAL are good at managing aspects of their business such as
shipping movements and equipment maintenance, there is more focus needed where
there is reliance on the people element, in particular, in the higher risk
areas of the business.
· in reviewing the systemic management of critical health and safety
risks the Reviewers found that there is opportunity for significant improvement
to ensure that POAL operates a resilient and appropriate control environment
reflective of the level of inherent risk in port operations
· in high risk areas of the port there were inconsistent views on how
workers perceived the commitment to health and safety by senior management to
that of what board, line and executive management felt was being demonstrated.
· the difficult relationship between Maritime Union of New Zealand
(MUNZ) and POAL has, at times, hampered health and safety improvement. For
health and safety to continue to improve at POAL, it is essential that all
parties work collaboratively to support health and safety.
12. The review
made 45 recommendations in the final report and provides an estimated
implementation period for each (short, medium and long term) and estimated
impact (low, medium, high), but notes that this is for
guidance only and should be evaluated by Ports of Auckland as a separate
exercise. The recommendations cover ten main areas including:
governance, leadership, overlapping duties, fatigue management, incident
reporting and investigation.
13. To ensure
effective oversight of POAL’s implementation of the recommendations, it
is recommended that Ports of Auckland develop and provide
council with a copy of its high-level plan for implementation of the
review’s 45 recommendations. This would set out which recommendations
will be actioned as an immediate priority and the indicative phasing for
implementation of the remaining recommendations.
14. It is further
recommended that POAL present to Governing Body meetings in July and October
2021 on progress with implementation of the review’s recommendations.
These presentations will be made publicly available.
15. Finding
2.3.6 in the report which stated that “the automation project is unable
to make a robust safety case for the development and operation of the automated
straddles at Fergusson Wharf. It would be reasonable for a major project
involving a new approach to integrating automated plant into an existing manual
operation to have developed a safety assurance framework to enable an appropriate
case to be made about the overall system safety during design, development, and
operation.”
16. Prior
to full rollout of straddle automation at Fergusson Wharf, it is recommended
the Ports of Auckland board provide council with copy of its completed safety
assurance framework for this major project. This is in accordance with
recommendation 2.3.11 of the final report.
Ports of Auckland’s corporate objectives
17. The 2020-2023
Statement of Corporate Intent sets out Ports of Auckland’s objectives and
performance targets. It contains an outcome of “safe and empowered
people” with a related strategic objective to have “safety and
wellbeing embedded into our culture”. To enable the council to evaluate
this, there are the following performance targets:
• number of lost time injuries, with the annual target to
achieve zero
• number of fatalities, with the annual target to achieve
zero
• achieve the target of becoming a zero harm workplace
18. Now the
independent review is complete, it is recommended council as shareholder make
clear to POAL it expects implementation of the review’s recommendations
to be reflected in its draft 2021-2024 Statement of Corporate Intent. The
draft is due to council by 1 August 2021. In
addition, future Statements of Corporate Intent should contain
‘lead’ indicators relating to health and safety issues, and not
just ‘lag’ indicators.

Climate impact statement
19. The decision
to receive the independent review final report will not impact on greenhouse
gas emissions and the effect of climate change on the decision is considered to
be minimal.
Ngā whakaaweawe me
ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
20. POAL has
received final report and has issued a response (Attachment B). POAL has
thanked CHASNZ for the way they conducted the review and their
findings. POAL accepts those findings and is committed to complete their
recommendations as soon as practicable.
21. POAL also noted they will regularly report their progress on
completing these recommendations to its employees, shareholder and the wider
public.
Ngā whakaaweawe
ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
22. The
governance of council-owned organisations is the responsibility of the
Governing Body, and therefore we have not consulted local boards on the
recommendations of this agenda report.
Tauākī whakaaweawe
Māori
Māori impact statement
23. One of the report’s key recommendations was that POAL
executive management needs to address perceived engagement and trust gaps
between executive management and frontline workforce regarding health and
safety expectations.
24. POAL
has a diverse workforce, as evidenced by CHASNZ undertaking its safety climate
survey in seven different languages. Engagement with the frontline
workforce could be improved by increasing the cultural competence of POAL.
25. Council
has previously required POAL to produce a Māori Outcomes Plan. This
plan could outline specific actions that POAL will take to improve engagement
and trust with its Māori workforce. This could assist in achieving
the review’s recommendations regarding building a positive health and
safety culture.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
26. Ports of
Auckland have met the costs of the independent review. There are no
financial implications for council associated with receiving the independent
review final report. However, there may be financial costs for POAL in
implementation of some of the review’s recommendations.
Ngā raru tūpono me
ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
27. There are no
significant risks to council with the proposed recommendations.
28. As
highlighted previously, the independent review final report stated there are systemic problems at POAL in relation to critical health
and safety risk management and organisational culture that relate to health and
safety.
29. To ensure
effective oversight of POAL’s implementation of the final report
recommendations, a copy of the high-level implementation plan, presentations on
progress and reflection in the draft 2021-2024 Statement of Corporate Intent is
proposed. A request for a copy of the completed safety assurance framework
for straddle automation at Fergusson Wharf is also proposed.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
30. If the
Governing Body agrees the recommendations, it will receive presentations from
POAL at Governing Body meetings in July and October 2021 on progress with
implementation of the review’s recommendations, which will be made
publicly available.
31. POAL’s
draft 2021-2024 Statement of Corporate Intent will be considered by the CCO
Oversight Committee in September 2021.

Amendments to the Alcohol Control Bylaw:
Bylaw Panel report
File No.: CP2021/03967
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To
adopt changes to Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Ture ā-Rohe Whakararata Waipiro 2014
/ the Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. To
enable a decision on whether to adopt changes to the Alcohol Control Bylaw
2014, an appointed Bylaw Panel has deliberated and made recommendations on
public feedback to a proposal and on local board and Auckland Domain Committee
views.
3. The
Bylaw enables council to make alcohol bans in public places to reduce crime or
disorder caused or made worse by alcohol consumed there.
4. The
proposal seeks to make new temporary alcohol bans for major events at four
regional venues (Rarotonga / Mount Smart Stadium, Waiōrea / Western
Springs Stadium, Eden Park and Pukekawa / Auckland Domain) and to make the
Bylaw easier to read and understand.
5. The Governing Body adopted the proposal for public
consultation on 24 September 2020. Feedback was received from 883 people and
organisations.
6. The
Bylaw Panel recommends the Governing Body adopt the proposal with amendments in
response to matters raised (Attachments A and B). Taking this approach will
better reduce alcohol-related crime and disorder in public places from major
events. Key amendments:
· apply
the proposed Waiōrea / Western Springs Stadium ban area to any major event
held at Western Springs Outer Fields
· add
the Auckland Zoo carpark to the recommended Waiōrea / Western Springs
Stadium and Western Springs Outer Fields ban areas
· add
Te Papapa Train Station and accessways to the recommended Rarotonga / Mount
Smart Stadium ban area
· add
any fan trail to all recommended new temporary alcohol ban areas
· add
Newmarket Train Station to any future fan trail for ‘Christmas in the
Park’ at Pukekawa / Auckland Domain and the new Mount Eden Train Station
to any future fan trail for major events at Eden Park.
7. There
is a reputational risk that some people or organisations may not feel council
has listened to their feedback. This can be mitigated by communicating the
reasons for the decisions to those who gave written feedback.
8. If
adopted, staff will publicly notify the decision and update the Bylaw when
changes come into force on 1 June 2021.
Ngā tūtohunga
Recommendation/s

a) approve
the Bylaw Panel recommendations on the proposed changes to Te Ture ā-Rohe Whakararata Waipiro

agenda report.
b) confirm
that the amended Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 in Attachment C of this agenda
report:
i) is
the most appropriate way to address crime or disorder in certain public places
caused or made worse by alcohol consumed there
ii) is

iii) does
not give rise to any implications under, and is not inconsistent with, the New
Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990
iv) contains
temporary alcohol bans for large-scale events that are a reasonable limitation
on people’s rights and freedoms.
c) adopt
the amended Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 in Attachment C of this agenda report
with effect from 1 June 2021.
d) approve
the distribution of this agenda report and associated minutes to local boards
for their information.

authority through the Chief Executive to the manager responsible for bylaws to
make any amendments to the Bylaw in Attachment C of this agenda report to
correct errors or omissions.

Context
The
Governing Body adopted a proposal to improve the Bylaw for public consultation
9. Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Ture ā-Rohe Whakararata
Waipiro 2014 / the Auckland Council Alcohol Control Bylaw 2014 (Bylaw) enables
alcohol bans to be made to reduce crime or disorder in certain public places
caused or made worse by alcohol consumed there.[1]
10. 
Following a statutory bylaw review,[2] the Governing Body adopted a
Statement of Proposal to improve the Bylaw for public consultation. An
appointed Bylaw Panel[3]
deliberated and made recommendations on matters raised (see figure below):
11. The proposal
seeks to better reduce alcohol-related crime and disorder by making:
· new
temporary alcohol bans for major events[4]
at four regional venues (Rarotonga / Mount Smart Stadium, Waiōrea /
Western Springs Stadium, Eden Park and Pukekawa / Auckland Domain)
· the
Bylaw easier to read and understand.

Analysis and advice
Bylaw
Panel considered feedback and views in accordance with legislative requirements
13. The Bylaw
Panel considered and made recommendations on all public feedback and local
board and Auckland Domain Committee views in accordance with relevant statutory
requirements, including that council:[5]
· must
receive public feedback with an open mind and give it due consideration
· must
provide the decisions and reasons to people who provided feedback
· must
ensure all meetings are open to the public
· may
consider or request comment or advice from staff or any other person to assist
their decision-making
· must

disorder in certain public places caused or made worse by alcohol consumed
there, is the most appropriate form of bylaw, and is not inconsistent with the
New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990
· must
ensure that any temporary alcohol ban in a bylaw for a large-scale event can be
justified as a reasonable limitation on people’s rights and freedoms.
14. The Bylaw
Panel structured its deliberations by topic. Each topic and recommendations are
summarised in the table below and contained in full in Attachment A.
15. Key
recommendations include making a new temporary alcohol ban for major events at
Western Springs Outer Fields and adding fan trails[6] to all recommended ban areas.

Summary of key Bylaw
Panel recommendations
|
|
New temporary alcohol ban for major events
at Waiōrea / Western Springs Stadium
|
Amend proposal to apply the ban area to any
major event held at the Western Springs Outer Fields, and to include the
Auckland Zoo carpark in both ban areas.
Reasons include to recognise the use of the Outer
Fields for major events and Police support for inclusion, and the close
accessibility of the Zoo carpark to both venues.
|
|
New temporary alcohol ban for major events at Rarotonga /
Mount Smart Stadium
|
Amend proposal to include Te Papapa Train Station and
accessways to better reduce alcohol-related crime and disorder in public
places from large numbers of event attendees walking to a major event.
|
|
New temporary alcohol bans for major events at four regional
venues (Rarotonga / Mount Smart Stadium,
Waiōrea / Western Springs Stadium, Eden Park and Pukekawa / Auckland
Domain)
|
Amend all recommended new temporary alcohol ban areas to:
· include
any fan trail activated as part of a major event at those venues
· include
Newmarket Train Station in any future fan trail for ‘Christmas in the
Park’ at Pukekawa / Auckland Domain
· include
the new Mount Eden Train Station[7]
in any future fan trail for major events at Eden Park.
|
|
Replace rules covered by existing legislation or council policy with
‘related information’
|
16. Adopt
proposal as publicly notified to remove
duplication of rules, to make the Bylaw easier to read and understand and to
make it easier to update related information for consistency with changes to
rules outside the Bylaw.
|
|
Clarify exceptions to alcohol bans, council’s ability to
make temporary alcohol bans, and the Bylaw wording
|
Adopt proposal as publicly notified due to high support,
comprehensive related information, and to make the Bylaw easier to read and
understand.
|
|
Other matters
|
Request that appropriate council units:
· reconsider
designated ‘VIP’ areas serving alcohol at the alcohol-free
‘Christmas in the Park’
· consider
inclusion of multiple languages on alcohol ban and fan trail signage.
|
17. Where Bylaw
Panel recommendations in Attachment A amend the proposal, the recommended
changes are shown in a comparison table in Attachment B. The changes improve
the Bylaw form, can be justified as a reasonable limitation on people’s
rights and freedoms, and do not give rise to any implications and are not
inconsistent with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.
Bylaw
Panel recommends the Governing Body adopt the proposal with amendments
18. The Bylaw
Panel recommends that the Governing Body make the necessary statutory
determinations to adopt the amended Bylaw in Attachment C. The Bylaw in
Attachment C incorporates recommended amendments in Attachments A and B. Taking
this approach will make the Bylaw easier to read and understand, and better
reduce alcohol-related crime and disorder.

processing alcohol ban requests and alcohol ban signage. Those units are aware
of the impacts of the proposal and their implementation role.
21. Auckland
Unlimited advised that the proposed Waiōrea / Western Springs Stadium ban
area should also apply to major events held on Western Springs Outer Fields.
22. Community
Action on Youth and Drugs (CAYAD) Tāmaki Makaurau, and the Safety
Collective Tāmaki Makaurau provided advice about event implementation that
has been circulated to other relevant council units.

Local impacts and local board views
23. The proposal
impacts the Auckland region. All local boards and the Auckland Domain Committee
provided views on how the Bylaw Panel should address
matters raised in public feedback to the proposal (click link to view in 19
March 2021 Deliberations agenda, Attachment G). Most views supported all
proposals with some exceptions or additions.
24. Three local
boards[8]
and the Auckland Domain Committee also chose to present those views in person
to the Bylaw Panel on 19 March 2021.
Tauākī whakaaweawe
Māori
Māori impact statement
25. 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.
26. 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.
27. 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.
28. Mana whenua
and mataawaka were notified of the proposal and given the opportunity to
provide feedback in writing, online and in-person. Twelve per cent of feedback
received (98 people) was from individuals identifying as Māori, the
majority of whom were supportive of the proposal. This is consistent with the
overall percentage of public feedback in support.
Ngā ritenga
ā-pūtea
Financial implications
29. There are no
financial implications. The cost of public notification of the decision and
implementation will be met within existing budgets.
Ngā raru tūpono me
ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
30. There is a reputational
risk that some people or organisations may not feel council has listened to
their feedback. This can be mitigated by communicating the reasons for the
decisions to those who provided written feedback.

Next steps
31. If adopted,
staff will notify the public and people who provided feedback on the proposal

Endorsement of the Mayor and Deputy
Mayor as sponsors of the Auckland Light Rail Project
File No.: CP2021/04496
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To
endorse the role of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor as sponsors of the Auckland
Light Rail project along with the Ministers of Transport and Finance.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. On
31 March 2021, the Minister of Transport announced the next phase of the
Auckland Light Rail project (City Centre to Māngere). The
Minister’s media release and information sheet is attached to this
report.
3. As
part of the process the Minister has asked the Mayor and Deputy Mayor to be
sponsors of the project with himself and the Minister of Finance. The
Mayor and Deputy Mayor have agreed and the purpose of this report is for the
Governing Body to formally endorse their roles.
Ngā tūtohunga
Recommendation/s
That the Governing Body:
a) endorse
the Mayor and Deputy Mayor joining the Ministers of Transport and Finance as
sponsors of the Auckland Light Rail project (City Centre to Māngere)
Horopaki
Context
4. On
31 March 2020, the Minister of Transport, Michael Wood, announced the next step
in the Auckland Light Rail project (City Centre to Māngere). An
Establishment Unit, with a governance board (Establishment Unit Board), will be
set up and will develop a business case, engage with Auckland and ultimately
provide advice to Ministers on the route, mode and options for the delivery
entity.
5. The
Independent Chair of the Establishment Unit Board is expected to be appointed
soon.
6. Staff
from Waka Kotahi, Auckland Transport, Auckland Council and Ministry of
Transport will be seconded into the Establishment Unit.
7. Cabinet
will make the final decisions on the matters referenced above. However,
to inform Cabinet’s decisions, a sponsors group has been set up
comprising the Ministers of Finance and Transport and the Mayor and Deputy
Mayor of Auckland.
Tātaritanga me ngā
tohutohu
Analysis and advice
8. The
purpose of the sponsors group is to provide direction to the Establishment Unit
Board as to the work required, to be updated on progress and matters of risk,
and to assist the Minsters of Finance and Transport to recommend decisions to
Cabinet.
9. The
Minister of Transport has identified the importance of an inclusive governance
structure for the project and where Auckland Council is appropriately
represented. To that end, membership of the Establishment Unit Board will
include Auckland Council’s Chief Executive, a local board member and
iwi.
Tauākī whakaaweawe
āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
10. The presence
of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor on the sponsors group for Auckland Light Rail has
no climate impacts. However, the project itself will have long-term
implications for Auckland’s carbon emissions and will have a role in
giving effect to Te Tāruke a Tāwhiri. Because the route
and mode is not yet determined, it is too early to understand the exact extent
of the climate impacts from the project.
Ngā whakaaweawe me
ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
11. The presence
of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor on the sponsors group for Auckland Light Rail
does not require any assessment of views or impacts on the council group.
Ngā whakaaweawe
ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
12. The presence
of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor on the sponsors group for Auckland Light Rail
does not require any assessment of views or impacts on local boards.
13. As noted
earlier in the paper, the Minister has offered a place on the Establishment
Unit Board for a local board member. Staff are working with ministry
officials on the logistics of obtaining this representation and once the
Independent Chair is appointed, staff expect more clarity on the timing and
process for this.
Tauākī whakaaweawe
Māori
Māori impact statement
14. The presence
of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor on the sponsors group for Auckland Light Rail
does not impact Māori to any greater degree than any other person in
Auckland.
15. The Minister
has made it clear that as part of the inclusive governance structure iwi will
have a governance role on the Establishment Unit Board.
Ngā ritenga
ā-pūtea
Financial implications
16. There are no
direct or indirect financial implications from the Mayor and Deputy Mayor being
part of the sponsors group.
17. There is
$1.8b allocated within the Auckland Transport Alignment Programme for seed
funding for City Centre to Māngere and Northwest rapid transit. The
final costs and funding implications for City Centre to Māngere will be
known once Cabinet has made decisions on the mode, route and delivery
entity.
Ngā raru tūpono me
ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
18. There are no
risks associated with the Mayor and Deputy Mayor being sponsors of this
project.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
19. Once the
independent Chair has been announced, next steps for the project and
involvement of Auckland Council representatives on the Establishment Unit Board
will be provided.
