Context

10. The local board allocates grants to groups and organisations delivering projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders and contribute to the vision of being a world class city.

11. Auckland Council’s Community Grants Policy supports each local board to adopt a grants programme:

The local board grants programme sets out:

· local board priorities

· lower priorities for funding

· exclusions

· grant types, the number of grant rounds and when these will open and close

· any additional accountability requirements.

12. The Papakura Local Board adopted the grants programme for 2020/2021 on 22 April 2020 (PPK/2020/52) and will operate three small grants and two local grants rounds for this financial year.

13. The community grants programmes have been extensively advertised through the council grants webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters, Facebook pages, council publications, and community networks.

Climate impact statement

15. The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to address climate change by providing grants to individuals and groups with projects that support community climate change action. Community climate action involves reducing or responding to climate change by residents in a locally relevant way. Local board grants can contribute to expanding climate action by supporting projects that reduce carbon emissions and increase community resilience to climate impacts. Examples of projects include:

· local food production and food waste reduction

· decreasing use of single-occupancy transport options

· home energy efficiency and community renewable energy generation

· local tree planting and streamside revegetation

· education about sustainable lifestyle choices that reduce carbon footprints.

2. To seek landowner approval for the siting of a storage container on Drury Sports Complex.

3. To seek a new community lease to Drury United Football Club Incorporated at Drury Sports Complex, 20 Victoria Street, Drury.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

4. There are two parcels of land at Drury Sports Complex (as outlined in paragraph 8) that, although not owned by council, have been managed and maintained by council under the Reserves Act 1977 as unclassified recreation reserve land. This report requests that the local board classify these land parcels. One parcel is owned by the Crown (Allotment 390 Parish of Opaheke). The second parcel (Part Allotment 37, Parish of Opaheke) was privately owned land and formal title to this parcel is currently being sought ‘by adverse possession’ by council.

5. Drury United Football Club Incorporated entered into a lease with the former Papakura District Council in October 2010. The lease expired on 30 September 2020. The club has applied for a new community ground-lease for the group owned building at Drury Sports Complex and approval for a lease over an additional (existing) building formerly owned by United Cricket Club (Counties Manukau) Incorporated.

6. The football club has also made an application for landowner approval to site a 20ft container on the reserve, adjacent to the cricket club building.

7. Staff are satisfied the society meets the standards specified and recommend the lease be granted in accordance with the Auckland Council Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012, for the existing clubrooms, the cricket club building and the 20ft container. Staff also recommend that the local board classify the land at Drury Sports Complex as a recreation reserve, as delegated by council in September 2017.

Context

Land, lease and buildings

8. Drury Sports Complex, 20 Victoria Street, Drury is made up of two parcels of land: Allotment 390 Parish of Opaheke and Part Allotment 37 Parish of Opaheke. Both parcels are held under the Reserves Act 1977 as unclassified recreation reserve (see Attachments A and B). As these unclassified areas of land are identified council is correcting these oversights and requesting local boards to formally classify them under the appropriate section of the Reserves Act 1977.

9. The parcel of land Part Allotment 37 is managed by council and formal title to the land is currently being sought by adverse possession. The land is the subject of an application for an easement by Watercare Services Limited, that wishes to install pipe infrastructure to service the nearby new subdivision. When council staff find land that is not correctly classified, steps are taken to rectify this before further action or approvals are given. This parcel of land is also identified as unclassified recreation reserve. To assist land advisory services the formal classification of the land is included in this report.

10. The land at Drury Sports Complex is legally described as Part Allotment 390 Parish of Opaheke comprising 8.37 hectares and is held by the Crown and vested in Auckland Council under the Reserves Act 1977 as an unclassified recreation reserve. Auckland Council on 28 September 2017, delegated decision-making under the Reserves Act 1977 to local boards the power to classify a Department of Conservation owned reserve which is either vested in trust in the council or controlled and managed by the council.

11. The existing lease is for the group-owned clubroom building. The building is reasonably maintained although a lot of equipment is currently stored in the main area and the manager’s office, making the area very cluttered and unable to be used for large gatherings that would normally be held by the club. The annual external washing of the building was delayed due to the Covid-19 lockdowns and Auckland’s water shortage.

Drury United Football Club

12. The football club has applied for a ground-lease for their existing clubrooms and the nearby storage garage currently owned by United Cricket Counties Manukau Incorporated. The cricket club have relocated to Opaheke Sports Park and no longer have a need for the storage facility at Drury. United Cricket Counties Manukau have agreed to relinquish ownership of the storage facility to Drury United Football who wish to include this building within their leased area.

United Cricket (Counties Manukau) Club

13. There is no park management plan for this reserve; therefore, public notification and iwi engagement on the proposed lease is required under the Reserves Act 1977.

The tenant

14. Drury United Football Club Incorporated registered under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908 in September 1992. The aims of the club are to: foster and encourage a knowledge of the game of football; promote and develop, to the highest level, the game of football; and actively promote and encourage club spirit and companionship by arranging and conducting non-football related social gatherings.

15. The club started in 1986 with two teams, based at Drury Primary School and moved to Drury Sports Complex when it opened in 1987. The club merged with Kingseat Football Club in 2009. The club has grown steadily since its beginning and regularly fields 25 to 30 teams. The club now employs a director of football and has a part-time paid administrator. Members have gone on to play in Northern Region Football League men’s and women’s senior teams, and Auckland Football Federation football and futsal regional representative teams.

16. One part-time paid staff member works 10 to 20 hours each week and the club’s 46 part-time volunteers provide in excess of 155 hours of support each week. The club has 237 members – 85% male and 15% female with most members aged between five and 50 years of age. Fifty-four percent of members identify as NZ European, 14% Indian, 11% Māori and the remaining are Pacific Island, Asian and other.

17. Drury United Football Club is funded by way of grants and membership fees.

Storage container

18. The football club has applied for landowner approval to locate a 20-foot shipping container, that was gifted to the club from a local resident, on the reserve.

19. The container will serve as additional storage for the football club. The container will be used to store junior goals, clothing, balls, sponsor signs, inflatable pitch, three gazebos, training equipment (cones, hurdles, standing men, ladders, hoops, pop up goals) and goal nets.

20. The club will undertake visual treatment of the container to ensure it is visually sympathetic to the surrounding area. The club plans to include the club logo and will not be using metallic colours. A concept plan will be provided to council.

21. The container will be positioned on the left hand-side of the existing garage (as indicated in green on the annotated image below).

Analysis and advice

23. Auckland Council’s Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012 (the guidelines) sets out the criteria for applicants, guides local board decision-making and outlines the standard terms and conditions of community leases.

24. Under the guidelines, groups that own their own buildings have an automatic right to reapply for a new lease at the end of the occupancy term. A right that Drury United Football Club Incorporated is exercising for their existing site. They have also requested a ground-lease for the existing garage that sits adjacent to their clubrooms. The garage had been owned by United Cricket Club (Counties Manukau) Incorporated. This club has now relocated to Opaheke Sports Fields and are willing to pass ownership of the garage to the football club.

25. It is recommended that a new ground-lease be granted from the end of the existing occupancy term for the standard term of 10 years plus one 10-year right of renewal. This is in line with the guidelines for a group-owned building.

26. Local boards have discretion to vary the term of the lease if it wishes. The guidelines suggest that where a term is varied, it aligns to one of the recommended terms in the Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012.

27. After assessing the lease application and meeting with the tenant, staff have determined that the group qualifies for a new community lease because the:

i. activity of the club supports the Papakura Local Board Plan 2017 outcome: people in Papakura lead active, healthy and connected lives

ii. Drury United Football Club are not in breach of the current occupancy agreement

iii. the group’s financial accounts have sufficient reserves to cover its operating costs with no declared conditional liabilities

iv. the premises meet the needs of the local community.

28. A community outcomes plan has been agreed to by the club (see attachment B), in alignment with the Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012. It will be attached to the lease agreement as the Third Schedule.

Climate impact statement

29. No impact on greenhouse gas emissions is expected from the recommendation as the proposal continues existing activities and does not introduce any new sources of emissions.

30. Climate change has the potential to impact the buildings as they sit adjacent to a flood plain zone.

31. Note: A flood happens when heavy rainfall overwhelms the capacity of natural or designed drainage systems. Floods become dangerous if the water is very deep, or travelling very fast, or if the flood waters have risen very quickly, or if they contain debris like tree branches and sheets of iron.

26 May 2021

Endorsing Business Improvement District (BID) targeted rate for 2021/2022

File No.: CP2021/03819

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To recommend to the Governing Body the setting of the targeted rate for the Papakura Town Centre Business Improvement District (BID) programme for the 2021/2022 financial year.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are rohe within Tāmaki Makaurau where local business and property owners have agreed to work together to improve their business environment, encourage resilience and attract new businesses and customers.

3. Auckland Council supports business associations operating BID programmes, including Papakura Business Association (PBA), by collecting a targeted rate from commercial properties within a defined geographic area. The funds from the targeted rate are then provided by way of a BID grant to the relevant business association.

4. Under the Auckland Council shared governance arrangements, local boards are allocated several decision-making responsibilities in relation to BID programmes. One of these is to annually recommend BID targeted rates to the Governing Body.

5. Each business association operating a BID programme sets the BID grant amount at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) when members vote to approve an operational budget for the following financial year. This budget funds the implementation of a business plan that delivers programmes based on each BID’s strategic priorities.

6. PBA members approved a BID grant sum of $250,000 for 2021/2022. This figure is unchanged from the current financial year.

7. The business associations operating BID programmes are incorporated societies that are independent of the council. However, to sustain public trust and confidence in the council, there needs to be a balance between the independence of the business association and the accountability for monies collected by a public sector organisation.

8. For the council to be confident that the funds provided to the BIDs are being used appropriately, the council requires the BIDs to comply with the Business Improvement District (BID) Policy (2016) (Kaupapa Here ā-Rohe Whakapiki Pakihi).

9. The council staff regularly monitor compliance with the BID Policy and this report is part of an active risk management programme to minimise inappropriate use of funds.

10. Staff are satisfied PBA sufficiently complies with the BID Policy.

11. Staff propose the Papakura Local Board receives this report and recommends to the Governing Body the striking (setting) of the BID targeted rate sought by PBA as part of the council’s Annual Budget 2021/2022 decision-making.

12. After the Annual Budget is approved, the council collects the targeted rate funds and distributes them in quarterly BID grant payments, effective from 1 July 2021. This enables PBA to implement programmes that contribute to a vibrant and prosperous local economy, thereby supporting the aspirations of the Papakura Local Board Plan 2020.

13. PBA, like all BID-operating business associations, will continue to play an important role in supporting its members facing two global challenges. Firstly, a BID programme can support local businesses to mitigate some of the economic flow-on effects from the COVID-19 lockdowns through business resilience and recovery initiatives. Secondly, a BID programme can also facilitate opportunities that address the climate change emergency, with a focus on sustainability.

Recommendation

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) recommends to the Governing Body the setting of the targeted rate for inclusion in the Annual Budget 2021/2022 for the following Business Improvement District (BID) programme:

(i) $250,000 for Papakura Business Association.

Horopaki

Context

BID programmes promote economic well-being and collaboration with the council

14. The Auckland Council Growth Model 2021-2051 reports Tāmaki Makaurau is projected to include approximately 660,000 more people in the next 30 years. This level of population growth presents challenges and opportunities for Auckland town centres and commercial precincts.

15. Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are rohe within Auckland, including Papakura Town Centre, where local business and property owners have agreed to work together, with support from the council, to improve their business environment, promote economic resilience and attract new businesses and customers.

16. BID programmes provide the opportunity for the council group to partner with business associations, including PBA, to seize on the opportunities from Auckland’s growth.

17. BID programmes encourage collaboration to achieve greater local outcomes. They provide a mechanism to enable local boards to engage with the business sector in local town centres and business areas in a co-ordinated way.

BIDs provide essential support in building business resilience and aiding economic recovery

18. The economy continues to be impacted by the flow-on effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdowns, affecting both retail-based town centres and industrial precincts.

19. BID programme-operating business associations provide the local business leadership required to help their members to mitigate some of the economic effects of the pandemic through business resilience and recovery initiatives.

BIDs are funded by a targeted rate on business ratepayers within a set area

20. BID programmes are funded by a targeted rate applied to all commercially rated properties within a designated area around a town centre or commercial precinct.

21. Auckland Council supports business associations operating BID programmes by collecting the targeted rates and providing these funds, in their entirety, by way of a BID grant to the relevant business association.

22. This revenue is paid to the business association every quarter to provide a regular and sustainable income stream to implement an agreed work programme.

The BID Policy is the mechanism to ensure accountability for BID targeted rates

23. Auckland Council’s Business Improvement District (BID) Policy (2016) (Kaupapa Here ā-Rohe Whakapiki Pakihi) ensures accountability for BID targeted rate funding and encourages good governance and programme management.

24. The policy outlines the principles behind the council’s BID programme; creates the process for establishing, expanding, amalgamating and disestablishing BIDs; determines rating mechanisms; prescribes operating standards and guidelines; and sets accountability requirements.

Diagram A: From calculation to approval, how the BID targeted rate is set.

The business association sets the BID grant amount to deliver its work programme

25. BID-operating business associations are provided with a rate modelling spreadsheet to help with their budget decision-making. The spreadsheet models any proposed changes to their current BID grant amount and, most importantly, how that influences the BID targeted rate for everyone who will pay it. When considering a change to the BID grant amount, business associations must take into account what the local business and property owners can afford.

26. Each BID-operating business association prepares an annual business plan for the following financial year that will deliver programmes based on their strategic priorities and financial parameters.

27. The cost of implementing that business plan is set out in an annual budget that the association’s board (governing committee) agrees will be recommended for approval by the business association membership.

28. The AGM provides the forum where members vote to approve the operational budget and, in doing so, set the requisite BID grant amount for the following financial year.

Local boards are responsible for recommending the targeted rate if a BID complies with the BID Policy

29. Under the Auckland Council shared governance arrangements, local boards are allocated several decision-making responsibilities in relation to BID programmes. One of these is to annually recommend BID targeted rates to the Governing Body. The local board should recommend the setting of the targeted rate if it is satisfied that the BID is sufficiently complying with the BID Policy.

30. The Papakura Local Board approved a similar recommendation for the Papakura Town Centre BID programme last year (resolution number PPK/2020/73), as did 17 other local boards that have BID programmes operating in their rohe.

The Governing Body sets the targeted rate when it approves the Annual Budget

31. The recommendation in this report is put into effect with the Governing Body’s approval of the Annual Budget 2021/2022 and its striking (setting) of the targeted rate.

32. In accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Act 2002 and the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002, the Governing Body is authorised to make the final decisions on what BID programme targeted rates, if any, to set in any particular year or property (in terms of the amount and the geographic area to be rated).

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

33. BID programmes are operated by independent business associations, and their programmes and services are provided according to their members’ stated priorities. In recognition of their independent status, the BID Policy does not prescribe standards for programme effectiveness. That is a matter for business association members to determine. Staff, therefore, cannot base recommendations on these factors, but only on the policy’s express requirements.

Papakura Business Association complies with the BID Policy

34. Staff are satisfied that PBA has sufficiently met the requirements of the BID Policy.

35. Staff require BID-operating business associations to provide to the council the following documents, and stay in touch with their local board at least once a year:

· Current strategic plan – evidence of achievable medium- to long-term opportunities.

· Audited accounts – assurance that the BID-operating business association is managing its members’ BID targeted rate funds responsibly.

· Annual report on the year just completed – evidence that programmes are addressing priority issues that benefit BID targeted ratepayers.

· Business plan for the coming year – detailed one-year programme, based on the strategic plan, to be resourced and achieved.

· Indicative budget for the following year – Auckland Council’s Annual Budget requires targeted rates to be identified a year in advance to inform the budgeting process which sets all rates.

· Board Charter – establishes guidelines for effective board governance and positive relationships between the association and its members.

· Annual Accountability Agreement – certification that these requirements have been met.

· Programme Agreement – a good faith agreement between each BID-operating business association and the council that sets basic parameters of the council-business association relationship.

· AGM minutes – the provisional minutes of each business association’s 2020 AGM meeting which contain the resolution, voted on by members, confirming the BID grant amount for the 2021/2022 financial year.

36. In addition, BID-operating business associations are required to inform the council staff of progress with other compliance requirements, including:

· Incorporated Society registration of the business association along with all required documents up to date and filed.

· Resolving problems or issues, if any, that have an impact on the governance or operation of the BID programme.

37. The BID Policy sets an annual compliance deadline of 10 March for the information to be forwarded to the council, as summarised in the table below.

Table 1: Business association’s compliance with the BID Policy as of 10 March 2021

38. As Papakura Business Association has sufficiently complied with the BID Policy, staff advise the local board to recommend to the Governing Body the setting of the targeted rate.

Papakura Business Association retains the same BID grant amount for 2021/2022

39. The amount of PBA’s proposed BID targeted rate for 2021/2022 - $250,000 – is unchanged from the current financial year.

40. PBA last increased its BID targeted rate in 2018, following a successful BID boundary expansion.

41. Across Tāmaki Makaurau’s 50 BID-operating business associations, 21 increased their targeted rates for 2021/2022 with the percentage increase ranging from 1.7% to 10%. One BID reduced its income after a one-off increase in 2020/2021 to fund America’s Cup-related activities.

Climate impact statement

42. Through targeted rate-funded advocacy and activities, BID-operating business associations promote and often facilitate environmental sustainability programmes.

43. From running carbon-reducing ‘shop local’ campaigns to promoting online channels and championing waste reduction and recovery programmes, there are many examples of BID programmes leading the local business sector’s response to the climate change emergency.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

44. Advocacy is a key service provided by business associations and those with BID programme-funded personnel are at an advantage. The BIDs ensure the views and ambitions of their members are provided to elected representatives and council teams, including CCOs, on those policies, plans, programmes and projects that impact them.

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

Local impacts and local board views

45. The local board’s views are most frequently expressed by its appointed representative on the board of each BID-operating business association. This liaison board member (or alternates) can attend BID board meetings to ensure there is a direct link between the council and the operation of the BID programme.

Visions, plans aligned

46. Papakura’s business association and local board share an interest in the local rohe and are ambitious for its future and its people. They also share goals that include economic prosperity, community identity, placemaking and pride.

47. Papakura Town Centre’s BID programme tangibly supports the vision and aspirations of the Papakura Local Board Plan 2020, best expressed in Outcome 1: A vibrant and prosperous local economy.

Local rohe, local benefit, local funding

48. Recommending that the Governing Body sets the targeted rate for Papakura Business Association means that this BID programme will continue to be funded from targeted rates on commercial properties in its rohe. It will provide services in accordance with its members’ priorities as stated in its strategic plan.

49. Papakura Local Board is among several local boards which provide additional funding to local business associations, however accountability for any grants is set by funding agreements between the local board and the business association. Those contractual obligations are separate from the requirements of the BID Policy and are not covered in this report.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

50. Papakura boasts the largest suburban Māori population in New Zealand, with 26.8% of Papakura residents being Māori (SOURCE: 2018 CENSUS). Working in partnership with local marae presents an opportunity to advance Māori economic development within the township and beyond.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

51. There are no financial implications for the local board. Targeted rates for BID-operating business associations are raised directly from commercial ratepayers in the district and used by the business association for improvements within that rohe. The council’s financial role is to collect the BID targeted rates and pass them directly to the association every quarter.

52. The targeted rate is payable by the owners of the commercial properties within the geographic area of the individual BID programmes. In practice, this cost is often passed on to the business owners who occupy these properties. This cost may be harder to meet at a time when businesses continue to be financially impacted by the flow-on effects of the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.

53. The council last year extended its Rates Remission and Postponement Policy to commercial property owners as part of the Annual Budget 2020/2021 to help mitigate the impact of the targeted rate on those who are struggling financially. This policy will continue for the 2021/2022 financial year.

54. If the Governing Body agrees with the BID targeted rate proposed by the business association, the cost of the grant will be met from the existing operational budget.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

55. There are no direct financial risks to the local board or the council that could result from this recommendation to endorse the BID targeted rate for PBA.

56. To sustain public trust and confidence in the council, there needs to be a balance between the independence of the BID-operating business association and the accountability for monies collected by a public sector organisation.

57. The rules and obligations of the BID Policy are intended to help minimise the potential for business associations to misuse BID targeted rate funds by requiring each business association to plan for their intended use, report on its activities to its members and to have its accounts audited.

58. The council staff regularly monitor compliance with the BID Policy and this report is part of an active risk management programme to minimise inappropriate use of funds.

59. Economic disruption created by the flow-on effects of COVID-19 lockdowns will continue to be felt in Auckland’s town centres and business precincts. The BID programme is an internationally proven approach to engage and empower local businesses.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

60. If the local board supports this report, it will recommend to the Governing Body that the BID targeted rate be set as part of the Annual Budget 2021/2022.

61. After the Annual Budget is approved, the council collects the targeted rate funds and distributes them in quarterly BID grant payments, effective from 1 July 2021, to PBA. This enables the business association to implement programmes that improve the local business environment, support businesses as they recover from the flow-on effects of COVID-19 lockdowns and help address the climate change emergency through sustainability initiatives.

Papakura Local Board

26 May 2021

Approval for a new private road name at 1 Berwyn Avenue, Takanini

File No.: CP2021/06245

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

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

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

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

3. The site owner and applicant, Kirsty Merriman, has proposed the names presented below for consideration by the local board.

4. The proposed road name options have been assessed against the Guidelines and the Australian & New Zealand Standard, Rural and Urban Addressing, AS NZS 4819:2011 and the Guidelines for Addressing in-fill Developments 2019 – LINZ OP G 01245 (the Standards). The technical matters required by those documents are considered to have been met and the proposed names are not duplicated elsewhere in the region or in close proximity. Mana whenua have been consulted in the manner required by the Guidelines.

5. The proposed names for the new private road at 1 Berwyn Avenue, Takanini, are:

· Whakarato Way (applicant’s preference)

· Takohanga Way (alternative)

· Arby Way (alternative)

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) approve the name Whakarato Way (applicant’s preference) for the new private road created by way of subdivision at 1 Berwyn Avenue, Takanini, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60330775 and SUB60330777).

Horopaki

Context

6. Resource consent reference BUN60330775 (subdivision reference number SUB60330777) was issued in October 2019 for the construction of 14 new residential freehold units and a commonly owned access lot (COAL).

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

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

9. Therefore, in this development, the COAL requires a road name because it serves more than five lots.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

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

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

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

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

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

12. The applicants name choices reflect themes of service, support and responsibility and are set out in the table below, along with an explanation as to what the names mean and how they link to the local area:

Proposed name	Meaning (as described by applicant)
Whakarato Way (Applicant preferred)	This means to provide, or to serve, or to allocate. The theme of service to others is a good link to us as people working together and also representing the purpose of the original land where food was supplied to Papakura and Auckland
Takohanga Way (Alternative 1)	Meaning responsibility. The people of the original area provided the food and fruit to Papakura and Auckland, they had a ‘responsibility’. In the same theme, my development has also been designed in a ‘responsible’ manner: inclusive of local biodiversity, quality design, accessible to residents of all physical ability levels.
Arby Way (Alternative 2)	The name of the kitten (now cat), that I found under a date palm tree by a Mosque in Doha, Qatar, during the early stages of this development. She ’supported’ me in the early planning stages of this project when I lived in the Middle East.

13. Assessment: All the name options listed in the table above have been assessed by the Council’s Subdivision Specialist team to ensure that they meet both the Guidelines and the Standards in respect of road naming. The technical standards are considered to have been met and duplicate names are not located in close proximity. It is therefore for the local board to decide upon the suitability of the names within the local context and in accordance with the delegation.

14. Confirmation: Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable for use at this location.

15. Road Type: ‘Way’ is an acceptable road type for the new private road, suiting the form and layout of the COAL.

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

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

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

Council group impacts and views

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

Local impacts and local board views

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

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

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

21. On 28^th April 2021 mana whenua were contacted by council on behalf of the applicant, through the Resource Consent department’s central facilitation process, as set out in the Guidelines. Representatives of the following groups with an interest in the general area were contacted:

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

· Ngāti Tamaoho

· Te Ākitai Waiohua (Te Ākitai Waiohua Iwi Authority)

· Te Ahiwaru – Waiohua (Makaurau Marae Māori Trust)

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

· Ngāti Pāoa (Ngāti Paoa Iwi Trust and Ngāti Paoa Trust Board)

· Ngāti Maru (Ngāti Maru Rūnanga Trust)

· Ngāti Tamaterā (Ngāti Tamaterā Settlement Trust

· Ngāti Whanaunga (Ngāti Whanaunga Incorporated)

· Waikato – Tainui (Te Whakakitenga o Waikato Incorporated)

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

23. This site is not listed as a site of significance to mana whenua but the applicant has proposed two Te Reo Māori names that were not met with any objections.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

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

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

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

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

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

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

Context

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

8. The two developments are applied for within the one report given the close proximity of the sites.

9. 121 Grove Road, Papakura

Resource consent reference BUN60354686 (subdivision reference number SUB60354688) was issued in September 2020 for the construction of 63 dwellings, four public roads, and two commonly owned access lots (COAL).

10. Two of the public roads are new roads and are required to be named.

11. The other two of the public roads (Road 1 and Road 3) are extensions to existing roads (‘Kaha Road’ and ‘Kairākau Street’ approved through resolution number PPK/2019/213). Formal approval is required from the local board in order to extend the existing road names onto the newly created section of roads.

12. COAL 1 will serve as a rear vehicle accessway with lots 1-16 taking their addresses from the surrounding main roads, and COAL 2 will serve less than five lots, both COALs do not require a name.

13. 104-114 Cosgrave Road, Papakura

Resource consent reference BUN60358031 (subdivision reference number SUB60358035) was issued in September 2020 for the construction of 176 dwellings, five public roads, three commonly owned access lots (COAL), and one pedestrian accessway.

14. One public road is a new road and is required to be named.

15. The other four of these public roads (Roads 2 - 5) are extensions to existing roads (‘Taiaha Street’, ‘Clayden Shuttleworth Street’, ‘Fredrick Hanson Road’, and ‘John Gray Street’ approved through resolution number PPK/2019/213). Formal approval is required from the local board in order to extend the existing road names onto the newly created section of roads.

16. As all three COALs will serve as rear vehicle accessways with all the lots taking their addresses from the main surrounding roads, names are not required.

Analysis and advice

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

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

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

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

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

19. The Applicant’s proposed names and meanings are set out in the table below for the two developments:

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

23. Confirmation: Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable for use at this location.

24. Road Type: All road types are acceptable, suiting the form and layout of each public road.

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

Climate impact statement

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

Council group impacts and views

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

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

Local impacts and local board views

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

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

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

30. On 15 January 2021, the applicant contacted mana whenua for feedback on their proposed names.

31. Ngāti Pāoa suggested five additional names for use at either ROAD 2 or ROAD 4 at 121 Grove Road, or ROAD 1 at 104-114 Cosgrave Road: two names were duplicates to names already being used in the Auckland region and therefore not acceptable for use; two other names (‘Haora Tipa’ and ‘Hoera Wharepunga’) have been included in the applicants proposal for 121 Grove Road (refer to Table 1 and Table 5); and the remaining name ‘Te Paepaetahi’ has been included in Paragraph 6 and Table 9 for the local boards consideration.

32. Waikato-Tainui deferred to other Mana Whenua, and Te Ahiwaru Waiohua deferred to Ngati Tamaoho, who in turn deferred to Ngaati Whanaunga.

33. The applicant followed up with Ngaati Whanaunga on 17 February, 8 March, and again on 06 May, however no response was received. It is considered that a suitable period of time has been made available to receive commentary from Ngaati Whanaunga and, as no feedback has been received, it is considered that the road naming process can continue. The applicant has signalled a desire to proceed to a decision on the basis of the names supplied.

34. This site is not listed as a site of significance to mana whenua.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

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

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

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

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

Next steps

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

Local Board Views on Plan Change 60 - Open Space (2020) and Other Rezoning Matters

File No.: CP2021/05808

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To invite the local board to provide its views on the council initiated Plan Change 60 – Open Space (2020) and Other Rezoning Matters (PC60).

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. Decision-makers on a 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 a responsibility to communicate the interests and preferences of people in its area on Auckland Council policy documents, including plan changes. A local board can present local views and preferences when that view is expressed by the whole local board.^{^[1]}

4. On 28 January 2021, Auckland Council notified Plan Change 60. Submissions closed on 1 March 2021. The plan change includes 105 sites (in some cases, a site comprises more than one lot) and aims to rezone land to:

(a) recognise land recently vested or acquired as open space

(b) correct zoning errors or anomalies (including rezoning land to better reflect its use)

(d) facilitate Kainga Ora’s and Auckland Council redevelopment of certain neighbourhoods.

5. One hundred and six submissions have been received on the proposed plan change. The vast majority of these oppose Panuku’s rezoning and land disposal. In summary there are 15 submissions in support of the plan change, four in support but seeking amendments, 85 in opposition and two out of scope.

6. No iwi authority has made a submission in support or opposition to Plan Change 60.

7. This report is the mechanism for the local board to resolve and provide its views on Plan Change 60 should it wish to do so. Staff do not recommend what view the local board should convey.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) provide local board views on Plan Change 60 - Open Space (2020) and Other Rezoning Matters.

b) appoint a local board member to speak to the local board views at a hearing on Plan Change 60.

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

Horopaki

Context

8. Each local board is responsible for communicating the interests and preferences of people in its area regarding the content of Auckland Council’s strategies, policies, plans, and bylaws. Local boards provide their views on the content of these documents. Decision-makers must consider local boards’ views when deciding the content of these policy documents.^{^[2]}

9. If the local board chooses to provide its views, the planner includes those views in the hearing report. Local board views are included in the analysis of the plan change, along with submissions.

10. If appointed by resolution, local board members may present the local board’s views at the hearing to commissioners, who decide on the plan change.

11. This report provides an overview of the proposed plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan (AUP), and a summary of submissions’ key themes.

12. The report does not recommend what the local board should convey, should the local board decide to convey its views on plan change 60. The planner must include any local board views in the evaluation of the plan change. The planner cannot advise the local board as to what its views should be, and then evaluate those views.

13. The key theme from submissions is opposition to the proposed rezonings relating to Kainga Ora/Auckland Council redevelopment and Panuku’s land rationalisation and disposal. Attachment A identifies the land parcels that are the subject of submissions.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

14. Plan Change 60 affects land across the Auckland region.

15. The purpose of the proposed plan change is to rezone land to either:

(a) recognise land recently vested or acquired as open space

(b) correct zoning errors or anomalies (including rezoning land to better reflect its use)

(d) facilitate Kainga Ora’s and Auckland Council redevelopment of certain neighbourhoods.

16. The Section 32 Report and details of the plan change are available from the council’s website at Plan Change 60. The council’s planner, and other experts, will evaluate and report on:

· section 32 Report that accompanies the plan change

· submissions and

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

17. Submissions were made by 106 people/organisations as outlined below.

Submissions	Number of submissions
In support	15
In support but requesting change(s)	4
In opposition	85
Out of scope	2
Total	106

18. Key submission themes are listed below.

Oppose the rezoning of:

· 142 Triangle Road, Massey (Maps 4 & 37)

· 1-5 Lippiatt Road, Otahuhu (Map 73)

· 23 Waipuna Road, Mount Wellington (Map 75)

· 12R Rockfield Road, Ellerslie (Map 76)

· 11R Birmingham Road, Otara (Map 77)

· 2R Keeney Court, Papakura (Map 78)

· Walkway adjacent to 45 Brandon Road, Glen Eden (Map 79)

· 45 Georgina Street, Freemans Bay (Map 81)

· 36 Cooper Street, Grey Lynn (Map 82)

· 13 Davern Lane, New Lynn (Map 85)

· 67 East Street, Pukekohe (Map 86)

· Princes Street West, Pukekohe (Map 87)

· R105 Stott Avenue, Birkenhead (Map 93)

· 26 Princes Otahuhu (Map 96).

Support the rezoning but request an alternative zone:

· 2157 East Coast Road, Stillwater (Map 71).

Both support for and opposition to the rezoning:

· 50 Mayflower Close, Mangere East (Map 100)

· 62 Mayflower Close, Mangere East (Map 105).

Support for rezoning or further information required:

· 1337 Whangaparaoa Road, Army Bay (Map 104).

19. The key reasons for submission opposing the plan change include:

· opposed to the rezoning of pocket parks – they are needed to support intensification and for social and environmental benefits

· loss of valuable reserve land

· few parks in the area

· significant negative effect on enjoyment of our neighbourhood/ adverse effects on property and locality

· park has significant cultural heritage associations and natural value

· contradicts Auckland Unitary Plan heritage policies

· inadequate public notification

· green areas needed in more intensive housing areas

· contrary to climate change/greenhouse effects – green spaces are needed for low carbon Auckland Council

· inconsistent with Auckland Unitary Plan objectives and policies

· park has trees which will be lost with rezoning and development

· site is an overland flow path and flood plain

· property values will be adversely affected

· loss of walkway and critical linkage

· sale of spaces is desperate revenue gathering/selling due to Covid is short-sighted

· subsequent building will severely impact on sunlight and amenities of adjoining sites

· contrary to Auckland Council’s declaration of a climate emergency, open space network plans, National Policy Statement – Urban Development – well functioning environments, open space provision policy, Auckland Plan 2050, the Urban Ngahere Strategy

· site is a Significant Ecological Area and part of a wildlife corridor and refuge

· inconsistent with Local Boards goal of increasing tree canopy.

20. Information on individual submissions, and the summary of all decisions requested by submitters, is available from council’s website: Plan Change 60.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

21. Several submissions raised specific climate concerns. These relate to the loss of locally accessible open space and the associated vegetation, particularly mature trees.

22. The council’s climate goals as set out in Te Taruke-a-Tawhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan are:

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

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

23. The local board could consider if Plan Change 60:

· will reduce, increase or have no effect on Auckland’s overall greenhouse gas emissions (e.g. does it encourage car dependency, enhance connections to public transit, walking and cycling or support quality compact urban form)

· prepare the region for the adverse impacts of climate change. That is, does the proposed plan change elevate or alleviate climate risks (e.g. flooding, coastal and storm inundation, urban heat effect, stress on infrastructure).

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

24. Panuku is a council-controlled organisation that resulted from the merging of Auckland Council Property Limited and Waterfront Auckland. One of the roles of Panuku is the release of land or properties that can be better utilised by others.

25. In conjunction with Auckland Council’s Stakeholder and Land Advisory team, Panuku have identified 26 council-owned parcels of land which are either surplus to requirements or they are part of a Panuku regeneration project (i.e. a series of projects and initiatives, designed to kickstart the transformation process and bring about changes that will help centres prosper in the future). Those parcels considered to be surplus to requirements have been cleared for sale by Auckland Council.

26. Auckland Council’s decision to dispose of or sell the land parcels is separate from the zoning of the land. Zoning is a method used to implement the Auckland Unitary Plan’s objectives and policies and to achieve the purpose of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). The merit of any rezoning of land (from open space to residential or business) therefore must be assessed against the purpose of the RMA and the relevant Auckland Unitary Plan objectives and policies. Other relevant considerations which will be considered in the section 42A hearing report include the Auckland Plan 2050, Auckland’s Climate Plan and the Urban Ngahere Strategy and open space network plans.

27. Auckland Transport made a submission in relation to the rezoning of 1337 Whangaparaoa Road, Army Bay. The key matter raised is the traffic effects of rezoning the Whangaparaoa Golf course from Residential – Single House to Open Space – Sport and Active Recreation zone.

Local impacts and local board views

28. The plan change affects sites throughout the Auckland region and feedback is therefore sought from all local boards.

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

· interests and preferences of people in local board area

· well-being of communities within the local board area

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

· responsibilities and operation of the local board.

30. A memo was sent to all local boards on 27 October 2020 outlining the proposed changes, the rational for them and the likely plan change timeframes.

31. 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 plan change.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

32. If the local board chooses to provide its views on Plan Change 60 it may also comment on matters that may be of interest or importance to Māori generally. In the 2018 census, approximately 11.5 per cent (or 181,194) of the Auckland region’s population identified as Māori.

33. Plans and Places consulted with all iwi authorities when it prepared Plan Change 60. On 27 October 2020, a memorandum outlining the draft proposed plan change was sent to all Auckland’s 19 mana whenua entities and the Tupuna Maunga Authority as required under the RMA.

34. Comments were received from:

· Ngāti Manuhiri – asking for an extension of time to 11 December 2020 to enable a discussion with their governance arm

· Waikato Tainui – they will support manawhenua to take the lead role on such plan changes

· Tupuna Maunga Authority – their interest is those sites that are within Height Sensitive Areas or regionally Significant Volcanic Viewshafts.

35. No iwi authorities made a formal submission.

36. The hearing report will include analysis of Part 2 of the RMA which requires that all persons exercising RMA functions shall take into account the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi.^{^[3]} The plan change does not trigger an issue of significance as identified in the Schedule of Issues of Significance and Māori Plan 2017.^{^[4]}

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

37. Panuku’s land rezoning and rationalisation (26 land parcels) is part of the Auckland Council’s financial recovery.

38. The draft Long-term Plan 2021-2031 proposes the selling of surplus properties and reinvesting the proceeds into critical infrastructure for the city. Over the next three years, Auckland Council is seeking to increase these sales to return $70 million a year to invest in Auckland.

39. The 26 land parcels that are part of this plan change form part of the $70 million return sought.

Risks and mitigations

40. There is a risk that the local board will be unable to provide its views and preferences on the plan change if it doesn’t pass a resolution. This report provides:

· the mechanism for the local board to express its views and preferences if it so wishes

· the opportunity for a local board member to speak at a hearing.

41. If the local board chooses not to pass a resolution at this business meeting, these opportunities are forgone.

42. The power to provide local board views regarding the content of a plan change cannot be delegated to individual local board member(s).^{^[5]} This report enables the whole local board to decide whether to provide its views and, if so, to determine what matters those views should include.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

43. The planner will include, and report on, any resolution(s) of the local boards in the Section 42A hearing report. The local board member appointed to speak to the local board’s views will be informed of the hearing date and invited to the hearing for that purpose.

44. The planner will advise the local boards of the decision on the plan change request by memorandum.

Economic Development Action Plan: Draft for feedback

File No.: CP2021/05811

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek local board feedback on the draft Economic Development Action Plan: Council’s role in Auckland’s recovery 2021-24.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The council organisation and council-controlled organisations have worked collaboratively to develop the draft Economic Development Action Plan. This plan defines and agrees, for the next three years, the council family’s economic objectives and priorities and determines a coordinated course of action. The plan is limited to actions that are within the remit of council and council-controlled organisation (CCO) activities.

3. The draft plan aligns with the 10-year budget and will inform the work programmes of relevant council family departments. The work is supported by the chief executives of council and all substantive council-controlled organisations.

4. The draft plan outlines detailed actions within six areas of focus (‘workstreams’) as outlined in Attachment A. It reflects the guiding principles of transitioning towards a regenerative and low carbon economy, supporting economic opportunities for Māori, and responding to our communities of greatest need.

5. There will be targeted engagement on the draft plan, including with iwi, advisory panel members and business groups. Feedback will be sought until 14 June 2021.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) receive the draft Economic Development Action Plan: Council’s role in Auckland’s recovery 2021-24.

b) provide feedback by 14 June 2021 for consideration in the final draft Economic Development Action Plan: Council’s role in Auckland’s recovery 2021-24.

Horopaki

Context

6. In August 2020, the CCO Review Panel delivered its report alongside 64 recommendations which were endorsed in full by the Governing Body. The review stated that council and all substantive council-controlled organisations (CCOs) should together define the economic outcomes for Auckland and agree on how to achieve and measure them. The review also acknowledged the need for better coordination and definition of responsibilities for local economic development within the council family. The Economic Development Action Plan forms part of council’s response to that review.

7. The plan is not a long-term strategy and does not replace the Economic Development Strategy 2012. The priorities and focus over the next three years, however, consider direction from council’s existing strategies i.e., the Auckland Plan 2050, Economic Development Strategy 2012, Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan and Kia Ora Tāmaki Makaurau: Council’s Māori Outcomes Framework.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

8. Comprehensive background work to support the development of the action plan has been completed by the Chief Economist Unit (CEU), the Auckland Plan Strategy and Research Department (APSR) and Auckland Unlimited. This includes a report from the CEU providing a profile of Auckland’s economy over the last 10 years, the impact of Covid-19 on the Auckland economy, and the main roadblocks to recovery. The same report also identified areas where the council group can have a material impact on economic development. Key areas are:

· assets

· procurement

· land use and zoning

· regulatory processes

· travel network

· town centres

· pricing

· skills and investment attraction

· tourism attraction

· social support services

· coordination of responses through partnerships.

9. There has also been an extensive review of plans and strategies across the council and CCOs to identify common economic development themes. These were: innovation and technology, Māori economy, regenerative, resilient, low carbon economy, workforce transition, competitive high-value sectors, local economic development, infrastructure, and culture and creativity.

10. This background work formed the basis for six workstreams:

· Destination Tāmaki Makaurau: attracting people and investment

· Local Tāmaki Makaurau: enabling thriving local economies

· Skilled Tāmaki Makaurau: supporting quality jobs and skill development

· Future Tāmaki Makaurau: preparing businesses for the future

· Enabled Tāmaki Makaurau: infrastructure enabling economic development

· Enabled Tāmaki Makaurau: regulations that enable economic development.

11. Each workstream has both council and CCO staff representation. These workstreams have developed a set of actions with responsibilities and timeframes as detailed in this draft plan. A monitoring framework will be developed to ensure roles, responsibilities and accountabilities of council and each CCO are clearly defined as they relate to the actions in the draft plan.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

12. Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan has provided direction to the development of the draft plan, aspiring to a more resilient economy that is regenerative, inclusive, local and enables Aucklanders to thrive.

13. The draft action plan has embedded the guiding principle of ‘transitioning to a regenerative and low carbon economy’ into each of its six workstreams. The development of actions is underpinned by kaitiakitanga and considers how resources used give back to nature and increase value through reuse and renewal. Where applicable, actions broadly encourage a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, low carbon products and services, climate innovation, and less dependency on natural resources.

14. The actions presented in this draft action plan will go through a further climate impact assessment using tools developed by the Chief Sustainability Office. The results of this assessment will be incorporated into the final plan.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

15. The draft plan responds to the CCO review recommendation for council and all CCOs to together define the economic outcomes for Auckland and agree on how to achieve and measure them. The actions in the draft plan will be shared and accountabilities of council and each CCO well defined. Some CCOs will have a more active role than others.

16. The scope and development of the Economic Development Action Plan has been agreed to through the council and CCO Chief Executives’ group. This group is updated with progress on the plan as appropriate. The project team includes a representative and contribution from each CCO.

17. The scope of the plan is limited to actions that are within the remit of council and CCO activities. A review and discussion document of the council group’s levers that materially contribute to economic development formed the basis for this draft plan (refer to Attachment B).

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

Local impacts and local board views

18. Each workstream of the plan will have a local impact, acknowledging the interdependency of local economies and the regional economy. The draft plan includes the focus area ‘Local Tāmaki Makaurau: enabling thriving local economies’ and has been informed by the recent local board plans’ local economic priorities.

19. The Local Tāmaki Makaurau workstream seeks to clarify what the Auckland Council group will do to support the local economies of Auckland. This includes setting out the roles that each part of the group plays in delivering actions, while also setting the foundations to help the group identify the economic places (sub-regional and local) of Auckland and deliver outcomes at the local level.

20. A memo was distributed on 17 February 2021 to inform local board members of the development of council’s Economic Development Action Plan 2021-24 and to outline the process for local board feedback to the plan. At the request of the local board chairpersons, the draft plan will be provided at all local board business meetings in May 2021 with written feedback by formal resolution provided to the project leads by 14 June 2021.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

21. Kia Ora Tāmaki Makaurau has provided direction to the development of the draft plan, in particular, the Kia ora te Umanga mahi objective of supporting economic opportunities for Māori businesses and iwi organisations. The draft plan has also considered direction from the Auckland Plan 2050, the Kaitiaki Forum’s strategic plan and the Independent Māori Statutory Board’s Issues of Significance (2017) as they relate to Māori economic development.

22. The draft action plan has embedded the guiding principle of ‘supporting economic opportunities for Māori’ into each of its six workstreams. The development of actions will consider partnership opportunities with mana whenua and mataawaka, a focus on equity and addressing systemic barriers, and identifying new economic opportunities for Māori.

23. The project team have communicated with iwi from the commencement of the project to determine and initiate the preferred process of engagement for each iwi. This draft plan will be sent to all iwi for input and feedback through to 14 June 2021.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

24. The scope of the Economic Development Action Plan states that actions will be funded within the existing 10-year Budget 2021-2031 and therefore, no additional funding is required. The draft plan identifies some actions that rely on external funding sources and partnerships.

25. At the advice of the finance division, budget alignment is demonstrated in the draft plan at both the group of activity and CCO / council directorate level.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

26. The draft plan outlines actions that require a commitment from the responsible directorate to include in their work programmes and within their existing budgets. The monitoring framework will include regular progress reporting to ensure effective implementation of the action plan.

27. This action plan is an internal document, outlining work to be done within the remit of council and its CCOs. The content of the plan builds on earlier consultation undertaken in the development of key strategies that have provided direction. Input and feedback for this action plan has therefore been targeted to key groups.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

28. The draft plan will be distributed to the key groups that have been engaged from the commencement of the project. Feedback will be considered until 14 June 2021.

29. The final Economic Development Action Plan: Council’s role in Auckland’s recovery 2021-24 and its monitoring framework will be presented to the Parks, Arts, Community and Events committee on 8 July 2021 for adoption.

Urgent decision - Papakura Local Board feedback on the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment proposed changes to support effective management of freedom camping in New Zealand

File No.: CP2021/06415

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To note the Papakura Local Board’s feedback on the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment proposed changes to support effective management of freedom camping in New Zealand.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment Innovation (MBIE) has released a discussion document outlining four proposals for changes to the Freedom Camping Act 2011. The Freedom Camping Act 2011 defines what freedom camping is and gives effect to the government’s policy to allow freedom camping on all public land by default.

3. The legislation does empower local authorities to make bylaws to protect areas where freedom camping should be prohibited or restricted, but only for specific reasons contained in the Act. It also sets out councils’ bylaw enforcement powers, and the penalties that apply to freedom campers who break the rules.

4. The discussion document presents four proposals for consideration:

i) Make it mandatory for freedom camping in a vehicle to be done in a certified self-contained vehicle OR

ii) make it mandatory for freedom campers to stay in a vehicle that is certified self-contained, unless they are staying at a site with toilet facilities (excluding public conservation lands and regional parks).

iii) Improve the regulatory tools for government land managers, including stronger enforcement powers.

iv) Strengthen the requirements for self-contained vehicles.

5. Although Auckland Council has not yet made a bylaw under the Freedom Camping Act 2011, a draft Freedom Camping in Vehicles Bylaw was developed in 2018 and released for public consultation in 2019. Public feedback and local board views provided as part of that process highlighted the relevant issues of most concern to Aucklanders, which are broader in scope than the matters covered by the government’s proposals.

6. Following a decision in 2019 to set aside the draft Freedom Camping in Vehicles Bylaw 2018, in March 2021 the Governing Body directed staff to develop a statement of proposal for a new bylaw. The key changes from the 2018 bylaw will be retention of the default prohibition on camping on all reserves held under the Reserves Act 1977, and consideration of the inclusion of a general rule to apply to all areas not specifically protected, including roadsides. Following a decision on options for a general rule by the Governing Body in May 2021, staff expect to release a new statement of proposal and draft bylaw for consultation in the second half of 2021.

7. Local Board feedback was required by 5pm Monday 11 May 2021 to be incorporated in the Auckland Council submission and by 5pm Wednesday 13 May 2021 to be attached to the Auckland Council submission.

8. Submissions on the government’s proposals were due on 16 May 2021. Council has been granted an extension to 28 May 2021. The Governing Body will approve its submission at its meeting on 27 May 2021.

Recommendation/s

Horopaki

Context

5. The council’s Quality Advice Programme aims to improve the focus, analysis, presentation and timeliness of staff advice to elected representatives. An initiative under this is to develop forward work calendars for Governing Body committees and local boards. These provide elected members with better visibility of the types of governance tasks they are being asked to undertake and when they are scheduled.

6. There are no new projects in the Governance Forward Work Calendar. The calendar brings together in one schedule reporting on all of the board’s projects and activities that have been previously approved in the local board plan, long-term plan, departmental work programmes and through other board decisions. It includes Governing Body policies and initiatives that call for a local board response.

7. This initiative is intended to support the board’s governance role. It will also help staff to support local boards, as an additional tool to manage workloads and track activities across council departments, and it will allow greater transparency for the public.

8. The calendar is arranged in three columns, “Topic”, “Purpose” and “Governance Role”:

i) Topic describes the items and may indicate how they fit in with broader processes such as the annual plan.

ii) Purpose indicates the aim of the item, such as formally approving plans or projects, hearing submissions or receiving progress updates

iii) Governance role is a higher-level categorisation of the work local boards do. Examples of the seven governance categories are tabled below:

Governance role	Examples
Setting direction / priorities / budget	Capex projects, work programmes, annual plan
Local initiatives / specific decisions	Grants, road names, alcohol bans
Input into regional decision-making	Comments on regional bylaws, policies, plans
Oversight and monitoring	Local board agreement, quarterly performance reports, review projects
Accountability to the public	Annual report
Engagement	Community hui, submissions processes
Keeping informed	Briefings, local board forums

9. Local board members are welcome to discuss changes to the calendar. The calendar will be updated and reported back every month to business meetings. Updates will also be distributed to relevant council staff.
