· Community and BID Engagement partner.

7. As part of the review AT and Local Board Services are reviewing the way AT (and other CCOs) report. As this process is taking some time, reporting in the previous format has resumed. Though the reporting will be every two months in the interim.

Te Mahia Station

8. Following a site visit by two of AT’s Executive Leadership Team, Wally Thomas and Mark Lambert, they undertook to appoint a project manager to progress the development of 288 Great South Road. This will improve the safety and access of the station from Great South Road.

School Speed Trial

11. Four Auckland primary schools will soon become a safer destination for children and parents with new safer 30km/h speeds. Auckland schools Grey Lynn Primary, Glenfield Primary, Birkdale Primary and Summerland Primary school are part of Auckland Transport’s Safe School Speeds programme.

12. The project – which is part of the wider Innovating Streets for People Programme – involves schools working with Auckland Transport to introduce new speed calming measures such as kerb extensions, speed humps, and new painted surfaces to keep children safe.

AT $20 Fare Cap

13. On 23 May AT will be introduce a $20 fare cap on public transport. Customers are be able to travel all day on trains, buses and ferries tagging on and off with their AT HOP card, and never pay more than $20. The only exclusions are mid and outer-harbour ferries, Waiheke ferry and Skybus services. Bayswater, Birkenhead, Northcote Point and Devonport Inner Harbour ferries are included.

14. With the fare cap it’s now not necessary to pay in advance for a whole day of travel. The system is automatic, so as long as customers tag on and off with their AT HOP card, they will not be charged more than $20 no matter how many train, bus and inner harbour ferries are taken on the same day (to end of service). Fare Daily Cap testing has been undertaken since 11 April and completed on 23 April after two full testing cycles.

15. All AT HOP customers were informed via electronic marketing.

File No.: CP2021/07590

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek formal approval from the Manurewa Local Board to name a new section of public road as ‘Laurelia Place’, this being an extension of the existing public road ‘Laurelia Place’ in Manukau Central.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The Auckland Council Road Naming 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.

3. Formal approval from the local board is required to enable the use of the name Laurelia Place from the existing road into the new section of road.

4. As this report seeks to use the existing road name, no consultation was required.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) approves the name Laurelia Place for a new section of public road that connects to the existing section of Laurelia Place, providing access to the new subdivision at the end of this road, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60081464, LUC60290512 and SUB60299131).

Horopaki

Context

5. Resource consent BUN60081464 (subdivision reference number SUB60299131) was issued in June 2017 for Stage 2 of the overall masterplan and two qualifying developments providing a total of 382 new dwellings and associated subdivision, including the extension of the existing public road named Laurelia Place in order to provide additional access to the new subdivision.

6. In accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974, in order to use the name ‘Laurelia Place’ for the newly created section of public road, formal approval from the local board is required.

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

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

8. There is a new subdivision at the end of the existing public road named Laurelia Place in Manukau. This subdivision and associated development is currently underway and a new section of public road has been extended into the development to provide additional access to hundreds of new dwellings. This connects seamlessly with the existing section of Laurelia Place. The new extension of Laurelia Place will connect to approved Mahalo Avenue located in the new development. Access for the new development has also been provided from existing Pacific Events Centre Drive.

9. In accordance with the National Addressing Standards for road naming (the AS/NZS 4819-2011 standard), each continuous section of navigable road can have only one road name, and so, as the new section of public road will be a continuation of existing Laurelia Place, there are no other road name options available.

10. As this report seeks to extend an existing road name, no consultation was required.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

11. 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.

14. As this report seeks to extend an existing road name, no consultation was required.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

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

16. The applicant has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed as necessary, once approval is obtained for the new road name.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

17. 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

18. 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.

19. It has been recommended to the Applicant to install additional road signage directing traffic for Mahalo Avenue from Laurelia Place. The new extension of Laurelia Place will connect to approved Mahalo Avenue in the new development.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

26. The senior citizens’ new lease application was assessed against the criteria contained in Auckland Council’s Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012 and the priorities set by the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020.

27. When a lease reaches final expiry for a council-owned building an expression of interest process can be undertaken to gauge interest and best use. If the activity of the incumbent group is required in the area and continues to provide services to the community, the Manurewa Local Board has the discretion to forgo the expression of interest process and grant a new community lease. The local board has exercised this discretion.

28. The term recommended for the lease is for a period of two years with one (1) two-year right of renewal, four-year total term. The shorter-term community lease is to allow the senior citizens time to implement initiatives and strategies to increase delivery of services while maintaining a regular review.

29. The local board has discretion to vary the term of the lease if it wishes. However, the guidelines suggest that where the term is varied, it aligns to one of the recommended terms within the Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012.

30. Staff have determined that Senior Citizens Service Club of Manurewa Incorporated meets the requirements under the guidelines to qualify for a new community lease as evidenced below.

31. The senior citizens:

· caters to a well-defined group in the local community and its services are utilised

32. The buildings are owned by council and the senior citizens are primarily responsible for the upkeep of the interior of the premises (except fair wear and tear). In contrast, council is responsible for mainly external and structural maintenance of the premises, also for the surrounding grounds to be maintained. A site visit undertaken indicated that the leased area presents well and meets the needs of its users.

33. The senior citizens have a scheduled maintenance programme in place to address routine cleaning and general maintenance for the upkeep of the interior of the buildings.

34. A community outcomes plan has been negotiated with the senior citizens that identifies the benefits the group will provide to the community (Attachment B). This will be attached as a schedule to the lease agreement.

Analysis and advice

22. The club’s lease application was assessed against the criteria contained in Auckland Council’s Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012 and the priorities set by the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020.

23. Under the guidelines, groups that own their own buildings have an automatic right to re‑apply for a new lease at the end of their occupancy term, a right which the club is exercising.

24. It is recommended that a new lease be granted to Homai Bowling Club Incorporated for a term of five years, with one right of renewal for a further term of five years, 10-year total term in accordance with the guidelines, as opposed to the standard 20-year total term for group-owned buildings. The shorter-term community lease is to allow the club time to implement initiatives and strategies to increase delivery of services while maintaining a regular review.

25. The local board has discretion to vary the term of the lease if it wishes. However, the guidelines suggest that where the term is varied, it aligns to one of the recommended terms within the Community Occupancy Guidelines 2012.

26. Staff have determined that the club meet the requirements under the guidelines to qualify for a new community lease as shown beneath.

27. The club:

· is registered as a legal entity with a not-for-profit status

· has complied with the terms of the current lease

· caters to a well-defined group in the local community and its services are utilised

· has provided the latest copies of its financial statements and sustains its activities through membership subscriptions, grants, sponsorship, tournament entries and building hireage

· is managed appropriately as shown by its longevity.

28. The assets are owned by the club, which is also responsible for all maintenance within the leased area. A site visit undertaken indicates that the premises is in adequate condition and meets the needs of the club’s users.

29. The club has a maintenance plan to address general maintenance and renewals of its assets as the need arises and budget allows.

30. A community outcomes plan has been negotiated with the club that identifies the benefits the group will provide to the community. This is provided in Attachment B and will be attached as a schedule to the lease agreement.

Public Notification

31. Public notification is required under section 119 of the Reserves Act (the Act) as the Manukau Sports Parks Management Plan 2007 relating to the park is non-operative. Submitters will have one month to make a submission or objection pursuant to section 120 of the Act.

32. If any submission or objection to the proposed lease are received from the public notification process, a hearings panel of the local board will be convened to consider the matter and reach a decision.

Climate impact statement

33. There is no impact on greenhouse gas emissions as the proposal does not introduce any new sources of emissions.

34. Climate change impacts will need to be considered in any future planning for the area. While the leased area does not sit directly within a flood water (river or surface flooding) zone as a result of a 1‑in-100-year rainstorm event, neighbouring areas are within the zones (as shown below).

35.

38. The proposed new lease has no identified impact on other parts of the council group. The views of council-controlled organisations were not required for the preparation of this report’s advice.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

54. Should the Manurewa Local Board resolve not to grant a new community lease for Homai Bowling Club Incorporated, it will inhibit the club’s ability to undertake its core activities which will have a negative impact on the local board outcomes.

55. The club’s operation on War Memorial Park is identified in the non-operative Manukau Sports Parks Management Plan 2007 and is specifically suited to activate the recreational potential of the park in a sustainable manner.

56. As there is no significant departure from the land use or change in activities; there are no identified risks in granting the lease.

57. Additionally, there is risk in relation to the buildings and improvements where council may be liable for assets where budget is neither allocated nor identified in council’s key strategic planning documents.

58. The new lease affords the group’s security of tenure, enabling them to attend to the scheduled maintenance of its assets. If the lease is not granted, the group’s ability to maintain its premises will be severely impacted.

Staff recommend approving the Licence to Occupy for the café at Nathan Homestead to Hill House Café Limited from 21 June 2021 to 20 June 2023, with right of renewal for two years and charged an annual operating charge of $56.15 (+ GST) per square meter of exclusive space occupied within the Homestead.

Hill House Café Limited (Ricardo Le Roux)

26. Ricardo is a trained chef and has worked as an Executive chef in a variety of establishments internationally and in New Zealand over the last 8 years. He is currently a resident of Mt Eden with a background in hospitality, catering and customer service.

27. He proposes Hill House Café Limited will be a warm, affordable, and inviting cafe serving fresh, highly seasonal dishes as well as daily baked cabinet treats with a focus on utilising locally sourced and sustainably grown ingredients, home grown produce with low waste principle through reduction, reuse, recycling, and rot (composting).

28. Ricardo aims to provide an all-inclusive, safe, and friendly space where all members of the community can come together regardless of their age, orientation or social identity. To achieve this, we will focus on excellent and friendly customer service, quality food and great coffee in a warm and inviting space. Hill House Café Limited will become that special place for those looking for a stunning cafe experience where the community can come together to share kai, build memories, and celebrate life in the beautiful setting that is Nathan Homestead.

29. In partnering with Nathan Homestead and Auckland Council, he is interested in the opportunity to use the cafe as an activation point to enable us to offer extra services to the community beyond our cafe footprint e.g., catering and beverage services for events and functions within the centre, creating school holiday cooking programmes for our tamariki and plant-based cooking classes for their parents, offering outdoor picnics for specific events (eg. NZ Music Month, Proud Centres, Matariki, etc), creating activities with the focus on Manurewa communities.

Licence to Occupy

30. Staff recommend that the local board approve a Licence to Occupy agreement to Hill House Café Limited for the café premisses at Nathan Homestead from 21 June 2021 – 20 June 2024, with right-of-renewal for one year over two consecutive years. This is expected to give the new operator sufficient time to establish a new offering at Nathan Homestead.

31. The recommended operator is a limited liability company and staff recommends a fee to cover their share of the outgoings of the facility including utilities (e.g. power and water) security, rubbish removal and maintenance provided by council.

32. Staff recommend that annual operational charge for the community café is ($56.15) per square meter (+ GST) for the exclusive space occupied (i.e. not including shared areas spaces including external storage and front and rear veranda to be booked by negotiation with Management) and that this be used to set the fee for the Licence to Occupy agreement.

33. The exclusive spaces to be occupied are indicated in yellow, with shared spaces indicated in green (Attachment B):

· Storage area (10.59 m²)

· Café area (38.80m²)

· Kitchen (15.61m²).

Local impacts and local board views

37. The local board were informed of the decision by the Butler’s Pantry to close March 2021, and Council’s intention to seek a new café operator.

38. At a workshop on 3 June 2021, the local board discussed the proposed lease and provided feedback.

39. The continuation of the café at Nathan Homestead will provide an opportunity for people in Manurewa to come together and connect in the park and homestead and will support new innovative business opportunities for local people.

40. This will contribute to the local board achieving the following outcomes in the 2020 Manurewa Local Board Plan:

· Outcome 1: Our communities are inclusive, vibrant, healthy and connected

· Outcome 3: Our people enjoy a choice of quality community spaces and use them often

· Outcome 5: Our prosperous local economy supports local people.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

41. Iwi were consulted on the recent Reserve Management Plan for David Nathan Park Reserve, which included a café in the footprint of the Homestead.

42. Mana whenua support a community café at Nathan Homestead and see food as an essential component of community connection and encourage more programming involving food, gardening, rongoa Māori and connection to the whenua.

43. Auckland Council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti Waitangi and its broader legal obligations to Māori. The council recognises these responsibilities are distinct from the Crown’s Treaty obligations and fall within a local government Tāmaki Makaurau context. These combinations are articulated in the council’s key strategic planning documents the Auckland Plan, the 2015-2025 Long Term Plan, the Auckland Unitary Plan and local board plans.

44. Support for Māori initiatives and outcomes are detailed in Whiria Te Muka Tangata, Auckland Council’s Māori Responsiveness Framework. An aim of Connected Communities is to increase Māori wellbeing through support for Māori community projects. Additionally, it seeks to improve access to facilities and participation for Māori living in the Manurewa Local Board area.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

45. There are no financial implications for council in the preparation of the hire agreement.

46. The Licence to Occupy is a community agreement valued at $3,650 per annum plus outgoings.

47. There are additional opportunities to increase revenue through catering and events.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

48. There is a risk that if the Licence is not approved then the café will need to close for operating, which would impact on the visitor numbers and customer experience of Nathan Homestead.

49. There is a risk that the café will not be commercially successful in the future. This was mitigated through a robust EOI process to find an appropriate operator with proven experience running a café service.

50. There is a risk that the café will continue to increase in customer numbers and will need to expand beyond the capacity of the current site. This can be mitigated by considering repurposing other areas of Nathan Homestead.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

51. Following approval from the local board, staff will administer the Licence to Occupy agreement Hill House Café Limited.

Climate impact statement

13. The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to address climate change by providing grants to individuals and groups for projects that support and enable community climate action. Community climate action involves reducing or responding to climate change by local 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; increasing access to single-occupancy transport options, home energy efficiency and community renewable energy generation; local tree planting and streamside revegetation; and educating about sustainable lifestyle choices that reduce carbon footprints.

Horopaki

Context

7. Local board plans are strategic documents that are developed every three years to set a direction for local boards. Local board plans influence and inform the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 which outlines priorities, budgets and intended levels of service over a 10-year period. For each financial year, Auckland Council must also have a local board agreement, as agreed between the Governing Body and the local board, for each local board area.

8. Throughout the development of the 10-year Budget 2021-2031, local board chairs (or delegated local board representatives) have had the opportunity to attend Finance and Performance Committee workshops on key topics and provide local board views on regional issues being considered as part of the 10-year Budget 2021-2031.

9. From 22 February to 22 March 2021, the council consulted with the public on the 10-year Budget 2018-2028. One hearing style event was held in the Manurewa Local Board area to engage with the community and seek feedback on both regional and local proposals.

10. A report analysing the feedback on local board priorities, as well as feedback from those living in the local board area related to the regional issues, was included as an attachment on the 6 May 2021 business meeting agenda.

11. Local boards considered this feedback, and then held discussions with the Finance and Performance Committee at a workshop on 12 May 2021 on regional issues, community feedback and key local board initiatives and advocacy areas.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

12. Both staff and the local board have reviewed the local feedback received as part of consultation on 10-year Budget 2021-2031 and local boards have received a report analysing the local feedback. It is now recommended that local boards adopt local content for the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 (which will be tabled at the meeting), including the Local Board Agreement 2021/2022, the message from the chair, and local board advocacy, as well as a local fees and charges schedule for 2021/2022 (Attachment A).

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

13. The decisions recommended in this report are procedural in nature and will not have any climate impacts themselves.

14. Some of the proposed projects in the Local Board Agreement may have climate impacts. The climate impacts of any projects Auckland Council chooses to progress with will be assessed as part of the relevant reporting requirements.

15. Some of the proposed projects in the Local Board Agreement will be specifically designed to mitigate climate impact, build resilience to climate impacts, and restore the natural environment.

Council group impacts and views

16. Local boards worked with council departments to develop their local board work programmes for 2021/2022 that will be adopted at June business meetings. The local board work programmes help inform the local board agreements.

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

Local impacts and local board views

17. This report seeks local board adoption of its content for the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 and other associated material, including the Local Board Agreement 2021/2022.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

18. Many local board decisions are of importance to and impact on Māori. Local board agreements and the 10-year Budget are important tools that enable and can demonstrate council’s responsiveness to Māori.

19. Local board plans, which were developed in 2020 through engagement with the community including Māori, form the basis of local priorities. There is a need to continue to build relationships between local boards and iwi, and where relevant the wider Māori community.

20. Of those who submitted to the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 from the Manurewa Local Board area 35 identified as Māori. Six iwi entities from the Manurewa Local Board rohe also made a submission to the 10-year Budget 2021-2031. These submissions were provided to the local board for consideration at local board workshops during the development of their local board agreement.

21. Ongoing conversations will assist local boards and Māori to understand each other’s priorities and issues. This in turn can influence and encourage Māori participation in council’s decision-making processes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

22. The local board agreement includes the allocation of locally driven initiatives (LDI) funding and asset based services (ABS) funding to projects and services for the 2021/2022 financial year.

23. LDI funding is discretionary funding allocated to local boards based on the Local Board Funding Policy (included in the 10-year Budget), which local boards can spend on priorities for their communities. Local boards can also utilise LDI funding to increase local levels of service if they wish to do so.

24. Funding for asset based services (ABS) is allocated by the Governing Body to local boards based on current levels of service to run and maintain local assets and services including parks, pools and recreation facilities, community facilities, and libraries.

25. A local fees and charges schedule for 2021/2022 is adopted alongside of the Local Board Agreement 2021/2022. The fees and charges have been formulated based on region-wide baseline service levels and revenue targets. Where fees and charges are amended by a local board that results in lower revenue for the council, the shortfall will need to be made up by either allocating LDI funds or reducing expenditure on other services to balance overall budgets.

Risks and mitigations

26. Decisions on the local content of the 10-year Budget 2021-2031, including the Local Board Agreement 2021/2022 and a local fees and charges schedule for 2021/2022, are required by 17 June 2021 to ensure the Governing Body can adopt the final 10-year Budget 2021-2031, including each Local Board Agreement, at its 29 June 2021 meeting.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

27. The resolutions of this meeting will be reported to the Governing Body on 29 June 2021 when it meets to adopt the 10-year Budget 2021-2031, including 21 local board agreements.

28. It is possible that minor changes may need to be made to the attachments before the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 is adopted, such as correction of any errors identified and minor wording changes. Staff therefore recommend that the local board delegates authority to the Chair to make any final changes if necessary.

29. Local board agreements set the priorities and budget envelopes for each financial year. Work programmes then detail the activities that will be delivered within those budget envelopes. Work programmes will be agreed between local boards and operational departments at business meetings in June 2021.

Manurewa Local Board

17 June 2021

Approval of the 2021/2022 Manurewa Local Board Customer and Community Services work programme

File No.: CP2021/07777

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To approve the 2021/2022 Manurewa Local Board Customer and Community Services work programme and approve in principle the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 work programmes (Attachment A).

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. This report presents the 2021/2022 Manurewa Local Board Customer and Community Services work programme with associated budget for approval, as well as the subsequent two financial years, 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 work programmes for approval in principle.

3. The local board approves the work programme each financial year. Delivery of the approved work programme will support the local board to achieve the outcomes and aspirations in the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020.

4. The work programme details the activities to be delivered by departments within the Customer and Community Services directorate.

5. The work programme has been developed through a series of workshops between December 2020 and May 2021, where the local board provided feedback to staff on project and activity prioritisation.

6. The work programme development process takes an integrated approach to scoping activity, involving collaboration between staff from across council and the local board.

7. Several projects in the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 work programme have been identified as part of the Risk Adjusted Programme. Approval is sought for the planning and design of these projects to commence during 2021/2022, so that they are ready to be delivered early if approved projects for delivery in 2021/2022 are delayed for any unforeseen reason.

8. The work programme includes projects proposed to be funded from regional budgets subject to approval by the relevant Governing Body committee. The local board can provide formal feedback on these regional projects through resolution to this report.

9. The most significant risk to successful delivery of the 2021/2022 work programme is a change in COVID-19 alert levels that would impact delivery timeframes and budget.

10. Updates on the progress of the work programme delivery will be provided through the local board’s quarterly performance reports.

d) provide feedback for consideration by the relevant Governing Body committee on projects funded from the Coastal Renewals, Landslide Prevention, Local Parks and Sports Field Development and the Natural Environment Targeted Rate budgets (Attachment D to the agenda report).

Horopaki

Context

11. Customer and Community Services provide a wide range of services, facilities, open spaces and information that support communities to connect, enjoy and embrace the diversity of our people, places and natural environment. These are tailored to the unique needs of the local community in a place-based approach.

12. The 2021/2022 Customer and Community Services work programme (included as Attachment A) outlines the local board’s priorities to be delivered within the financial year.

13. The work programme aligns to council plans, policies, and strategies. Each activity in the work programme delivers to a specific objective relating to one or more of the following 2020 Local Board Plan outcomes:

· Outcome 1 - Our communities are inclusive, vibrant, healthy, and connected

· Outcome 2 - We are proud of our strong Māori identity and thriving Māori community

· Outcome 3 - Our people enjoy a choice of quality community spaces and use them often

· Outcome 5 - Our prosperous local economy supports local people

· Outcome 6 - Our natural environment is valued, protected, and enhanced

14. Development of the work programme is based on the understanding of:

· local community needs

· service and asset availability

· funding availability

· the work performed by other parties, including iwi partners, Council Controlled Organisations, community groups and commercial enterprises

· risks

· feedback received from the local board at workshops.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

15. Delivery of the work programme is the realisation of the local board’s aspirations for their community, as identified in the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020.

16. The local board has discretion to allocate a portion of their budget to a project or activity that they identify as a priority across the three-year work programme period.

17. Out of the initiatives signalled in the local board plan, the local board has prioritised the activities to be delivered in the next three years within available budgets.

18. The work programme provides a three-year view that demonstrates the phasing of programme and project delivery for the following financial years:

· 2021/2022 (to be approved)

· 2022/2023 (to be approved in principle)

· 2023/2024 (to be approved in principle).

19. The local board can approve the work programme for the first financial year and subsequently, delivery of this activity will commence from 1 July 2021. The local board can approve the following two years in principle only.

20. This allows the work programme to be presented in a future focused way that shows how the local board plan will be responded to for the entirety of its three-year strategy, without locking down future investment before that activity is properly scoped.

21. The local board will approve the 2022/2023 work programme in June 2022 and approve the 2023/2024 work programme in June 2023. This will include opportunity to make changes to these work programmes prior to approval, including adding or removing activities and budget allocations, unless funding has already been committed.

22. However, approval of unique multi-year projects, particularly capital works, in the 2021/2022 work programme will commit the local board to the future funding associated with completing the project in 2022/2023 or 2023/2024.

23. The work programme includes a continuation of delivery from previous financial years, including annually occurring events or projects, ongoing programmes, new activities and investments, and potential carry-forward items.

24. Regular updates on the delivery of the programme will be provided to the local board through quarterly performance reports. These updates will identify progress of all projects, highlight risks, and advise if amendments to the budget or delivery timeframes are required.

COVID-19 recovery is a priority for Customer and Community Services

25. A priority of the work programme is to deliver activities that respond to the impacts of COVID-19 on the following:

· newly vulnerable communities

· council financial constraints

· building community resilience for recovery.

26. Customer and Community Services is positioned well to deliver services that are key to the economic and social recovery of communities most in need, including by providing:

· safe and welcoming spaces

· inclusive events to bring the community back together

· community supports, including grants

· stronger connections with other organisations, including Council Controlled Organisations, iwi partners, business associations, community organisations and central government agencies who also serve our communities.

Delivering outcomes for, and with, Māori

27. Council has important statutory obligations with respect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi – The Treaty of Waitangi. The strategic framework that informs council’s delivery and performance measurement of Māori outcomes is Kia Ora Tāmaki Makaurau Māori Outcomes Measurement Framework.

28. Within this strategic framework, Customer and Community Services is responsible for leading activities that deliver against the following outcomes and objectives in Table 1.

Table 1: Kia ora Tāmaki Makaurau outcomes and objectives

Mana outcome	Outcome statement	Mahi objective
Kia ora te Marae	Marae are centres of excellence for whānau Māori and have an abundant presence in communities.	Invest in marae to be self-sustaining and thriving hubs for Māori and the wider community.
Kia ora te Whānau	Empowered whānau Māori across Tāmaki Makaurau.	The council group will enable whānau Māori to experience relevant and welcoming public facilities and services. It will support Māori-led services where appropriate.
Kia ora te Reo	Ko te reo Māori te mauri o te mana Māori	The council group supports te reo Māori to be seen, heard, spoken and learned throughout Tāmaki Makaurau.

29. The work programme includes activities that have an objective to deliver moderate to high outcomes for and with Māori in one or more of the following strategic priority areas:

· Kaitiakitanga

· Māori business, tourism and employment

· Māori identity and culture

· marae development

· papakāinga and Māori housing

· realising rangatahi potential

· te reo Māori

· whānau and tamariki wellbeing.

30. Activities in the work programme that aim to achieve high Māori outcomes in one or more of the strategic priority areas are identified in Attachment B.

31. The Manurewa Local Board work programme includes 14 activities that are identified as delivering moderate to high outcomes for Māori.

32. Progress updates on delivery of Māori outcomes will be provided to the local board through quarterly performance reports.

Types of budget

33. Work programme activities are funded from budget sources dependent on the type of delivery. Some activities within the work programme have budget allocated from two or more sources, including budgets from both local and regional programmes.

34. Table 2 outlines the different budget types and their purpose that fund the work programme.

Table 2: work programme budget types and purpose

Budget type	Description of budget purpose
Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI)	A development fund used to advance local operational and capital activities at the discretion of the local board
Asset Based Services (ABS)	Allocated by the Governing Body to deliver local activities based on decisions regarding region-wide service levels, including allocation of funds for local asset-based services
Local renewals	A fund dedicated to the renewal (servicing or replacement) of assets including those in local parks and community facilities
Growth (local parks and sports field development)	Primarily funded through development contributions, a regional fund to improve open spaces, including developing newly acquired land into parks, and existing open space to increase capacity to cater for growing population needs
Coastal	A regional fund for the renewal of Auckland’s significant coastal assets, such as seawalls, wharves and pontoons.
Landslide prevention	A regional fund to proactively develop new assets for the prevention of landslides and major slips throughout the region
Specific purpose funding	Funds received by the council from external sources held for specific local board areas and service agreements including compensation funding from other agencies for land acquisitions required for major projects
One Local Initiative (OLI)	Funds allocated by the Governing Body to a local board priority project in alignment with the Long-term Plan 2018-2028
Long-term Plan discrete	Funds associated with activities specifically named and listed in previous long-term plans, including new libraries, community centres and major sports and community infrastructure
Kauri Dieback Funding	As part of the Natural Environment Targeted Rate (NETR) Fund, this is a regional fund from the Environment and Climate Change Committee used to implement the national kauri dieback programme standards
External funding	Budget from external parties, not yet received and held by Customer and Community Services

Capital projects and budgets

35. The capital works programmes have been geo-spatially mapped to indicate the location of projects within a local board area.

36. Attachment C demonstrates the year of the three-year work programme that capital budget is proposed to be allocated to specific projects and indicates the main funding source for each project.

37. Activity budgets for capital programme delivery are estimates only, as costs are subject to change and to be refined as the activity / project progresses through the design and delivery process. Greater clarity will be determined once activity details are defined with the work programme updated accordingly.

38. Some projects are unable to be mapped as they reference multiple locations, or the work locations are yet to be determined.

Risk Adjusted Programme

39. The Risk Adjusted Programme was implemented in 2019 and is designed to mitigate risk so that the total budget is delivered.

40. Several capex projects in the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 work programme have been identified as part of the Risk Adjusted Programme as highlighted in Attachment A.

41. Approval is sought for the commencement of these projects in the 2021/2022 financial year, so that they can replace delays in projects that may not be delivered for unforeseen reasons.

Regionally funded activities included in the local board work programme

42. There are activities, from the Coastal Renewals, Landslide Prevention and Local Parks and Sports Field Development and the Natural Environment Targeted Rate budgets, which are funded regionally and will be approved by the Governing Body after 30 June 2021.

43. These activities are included in the work programme because the local board has decision-making responsibility for that activity within the parameters set by the Governing Body, which include project location, scope and budget.

44. These activities may be conducted by a number of teams, including within the Customer and Community Services and Infrastructure and Environmental Services directorates.

45. The local board can provide feedback on the activities outlined in Attachment D. This feedback will be presented to the relevant Governing Body committee when they consider regionally funded activities.

Process for changes to the approved work programme

46. Staff will provide progress updates to and seek approval from the local board if there are any projects that require scope, budget or timing changes throughout the financial year, or if activities need to be cancelled or added to the work programme.

47. The work programme includes community leases. Straight-forward lease renewals without variations will be processed in accordance with agreed delegations through a written memo. Expired and more complex community leases will be workshopped with the local board and reported to a business meeting.

48. For a change to the work programme considered to be minor, in that it does not substantially alter the approved work programme, staff will workshop this with the local board and then implement the change. A description of the change will be included in the following round of quarterly reporting.

49. A change to the work programme that is considered substantial, will be presented to the local board at a business meeting for approval.

Climate impact statement

50. In June 2019, council declared a climate emergency and in response to this, council adopted the Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan in July 2020.

51. Each activity in the work programme is assessed to identify whether it will have a positive, negative, or neutral impact on greenhouse gas emissions and impact on resilience to climate change.

52. To deliver on climate goals, Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri includes eight priorities for action:

· natural environment

· built environment

· transport

· economy

· communities and coast

· food

· Te Puāwaitanga ō te Tātai

· energy and industry.

53. The work programme indicates which of these priorities each activity responds to.

54. Attachment E outlines the activities in the work programme identified to have a positive and negative climate change impact.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

55. The work programme is presented at a directorate level which reflects the integrated approach to developing the activities between the directorate’s departments of:

· Connected Communities

· Community Facilities

· Community and Social Innovation

· Parks, Sports and Recreation

· Regional Service Planning, Investment and Partnerships.

56. The Customer and Community Services work programme was developed through a collaborative approach by representatives from across council departments, directorates and Council Controlled Organisations. The integrated team developed the proposed work programme with the local board through a series of workshops.

57. Some of the activities in the work programme are delivered collaboratively between directorates, for example the Kauri Dieback programme

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

Local impacts and local board views

58. Delivery of the work programme is the local board’s implementation of outcomes and objectives in the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020.

59. The feedback received from the local board through a series of workshops from December 2020 to May 2021 has informed the proposed Customer and Community Services work programme in Attachment A.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

60. Consideration is given to how the provision of services, facilities and open spaces can support the aspirations of Māori, promote community relationships, connect to the natural environment, and foster holistic wellbeing of whānau, hapu and iwi Māori.

61. In the local board area, 26 per cent of the total population identify as Māori.

62. The work programme includes activities that will have an impact on a service, facility, or location of significance to Māori. In these situations, appropriate and meaningful engagement and consultation will be undertaken, including to meet our obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi – Treaty of Waitangi.

63. Activities identified as delivering a moderate and high level of Māori outcomes are presented as Attachment B.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

64. The financial implications of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a reduced renewals budget per local board and significantly reduced development budgets for growth.

65. Each activity line has a budget allocation for delivery in one or more of the financial years (e.g., 2021/2022, 2022/2023 and 2023/2024). Where activity lines show a zero-dollar budget, this reflects implementation costs met through staff salary or other funding sources.

66. The 2021/2022 activities recommended for local board approval can be accommodated within their draft 2021/2022 budgets.

67. The budgets allocated to activities in the financial years 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 are indicative only and are subject to change due to any increased costs, inflation or reduction to the overall available annual council budget that may occur.

68. Table 3 summarises the budget sources for each work programme financial year.

Table 3: Manurewa Local Board budget allocation

Local budgets	2021/2022 (approve)	2022/2023 (approve in principle)	2023/2024 (approve in principle)

Capex: Long-term Plan discrete	$0	$256,529	$2,901,231
Capex: Natural Environment Targeted Rate	$0	$0	$0

69. The proposed budgets are based on the anticipated budget allocations from the Long-term Plan 2021-2031.

70. Any 2020/2021 capex budget unspent on 30 June 2021 will be assessed for carry-forward to the 2021/2022 work programme. Carry forwards will be added to the work programme as separate activity lines.

71. Where an activity is cancelled or no longer required, the local board can reallocate the budget to an existing work programme activity or create a new activity within that financial year.

Risks and mitigations

72. If approval of the Customer and Community Services work programme is not obtained, there is significant risk that the activities within it will be delayed or not delivered.

73. Table 4 outlines the key risks and mitigations associated with the work programme.

Table 4: risks and mitigations

Risk	Mitigation
Non-delivery, time delays and budget overspend of activities that are managed through the work programme.	Having agreed processes to amend the work programme if activities need to be changed or cancelled. Utilising the Risk Adjusted Programme to progress those activities identified as ready to proceed under the Risk Adjusted Programme at the beginning of the financial year.
Unknown risks associated with trialling a new activity for the first year.	Risks and mitigations for new activity lines are considered during the scoping phase, continually assessed and reported to the local board.
The COVID-19 pandemic could have a negative impact on the progress of the work programme as some activities cannot be delivered if there is an increase in an alert level.	Development of the work programme has included consideration for all activities regarding potential impacts on delivery in the event of alert level changes. Some activities may be delayed but still deliverable within the agreed timeframes. Where activities need to be cancelled the local board can reallocate budget to other activities.

74. The majority of activities in the work programme are ongoing and annually occurring. Risks associated with these activities have been identified in previous years and are managed on an ongoing basis.

75. Other risks may also exist, including with respect to the health, safety and wellbeing of council staff. Work programmes may also need to be adjusted where these risks exist and cannot be safely mitigated via control measures.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

76. Delivery of the work programme will start following approval by the local board and continue until 30 June 2022, with progress reported to the local board on a quarterly basis.

77. Regional projects will commence after approval by the Governing Body in July 2021. The local board will receive the first quarter report in November 2021.

78. Where the work programme identifies further decisions and milestones for activities, these will be brought to the local board when appropriate.

Horopaki

Context

9. Each year, the local board decides which activities to allocate its annual budget toward through a series of workshops. The local board feedback in these workshops has informed the development of the Infrastructure and Environmental Services work programme (Attachment A).

10. The proposed work programme responds to the outcomes and objectives identified in the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020. The specific objectives reflected in the work programme are:

· the water quality of our harbours and waterways is steadily improving

· our natural areas are pest free and regenerating to enhance biodiversity and ecosystems

· we are a low-carbon community with zero waste.

11. The following adopted strategies and plans also guided the development of the work programme:

· Te Mahere Whakahaere me te Whakaiti Tukunga Para i Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2018

· National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020

· Mahere ā-Rohe Whakahaere Kaupapa Koiora Orotā mō Tāmaki Makaurau / Regional Pest Management Plan 2020-2030.

12. The development of the work programme has been informed by staff assessments and identification of local environmental priority areas, and feedback received from the local board at workshops.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

13. The proposed work programme is made up of activities continuing from previous financial years, including annually occurring events or ongoing programmes. It also includes new initiatives supported by the local board. These programmes contribute towards the delivery of the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020 environmental objectives, as detailed above.

14. The work programme (Attachment A) provides a three-year view that demonstrates the phasing or continuation of programme delivery over the 2021/2022, 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 financial years.

15. This report seeks local board approval for budgets and activities in year one of the three-year work programme (2021/2022), and approval in principle for 2022/2023 and 2023/2024.

16. Approving in principle does not commit the local board to funding in future years, as the budget for years two and three will still need to be approved on an annual basis. However, approval in principle will help staff, contractors and community groups to plan activities and resourcing in the longer-term.

17. Budgets for years two and three are subject to change, as the programmes are further refined or if local board priorities shift.

18. The proposed activities for delivery as part of the board’s 2021/2022 Infrastructure and Environmental Services work programme are detailed below, alongside indicative plans and budgets for the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 financial years:

Industrial Pollution Prevention Programme – Wiri – $32,000

19. The board has indicated it would like to invest in the Industrial Pollution Prevention Programme in the 2021/2022 financial year. The board previously funded this programme in the 2016/2017 financial year. Staff recommend that the board allocate $32,000 towards this programme in 2021/2022.

20. This programme is primarily educational and informs industry about the impacts their activities may be having on local waterways. The programme includes a site inspection and discussion with business owners about potential issues around pollution as well as waste minimisation techniques and spill training. If changes are recommended, a report is sent to the business and a follow up is conducted (depending on budget, this is either a phone call or site visit).

21. The programme involves a GIS mapping exercise to ensure that commercial businesses understand the stormwater network connections in relation to local waterways. This year the programme will focus in the Wiri industrial area, which was originally covered in October 2015 and March 2016. Due to extensive growth and business changes, a second programme is recommended to educate new businesses and follow up on existing practices.

22. Approval in principle is also sought for $32,000 towards this programme in 2022/2023.

Awa restoration programme – $45,000

23. The board has indicated it would like to continue to support community-led restoration in the stream adjacent to the Glenveagh Park Reserve in the 2021/2022 financial year. The board allocated $15,000 to this programme in the 2020/2021 financial year, with an additional $25,000 reallocated from the community-led restoration of the Mahia Road stream project. Staff recommend that the board allocate $45,000 towards the continuation and expansion of this programme in 2021/2022.

24. This programme aims to connect local residents to the waterway and raise awareness around the impacts of litter and other pollutants on the health of the stream and Manukau Harbour.

25. In the 2021/2022 financial year, water testing will be facilitated by Te Pu-a-nga Maara, with local schools invited to participate in sampling and analysis using Te Kete Waiora. Planting and weed control will commence at Glenveagh Park Drive Reserve. Restoration and water quality testing will continue in years two and three.

26. Approval in principle is also sought for $45,000 towards this programme in 2022/2023 and $50,000 in 2023/2024.

Pest Free Urban South – $60,000

27. The board has indicated it would like to support a new programme in 2021/2022 to coordinate pest free initiatives across the local board area. Staff recommend that the board allocate $60,000 towards this programme in 2021/2022.

28. A pest free coordinator will be recruited to build momentum for the Pest Free Auckland vision across the Manurewa Local Board area. The coordinator will connect with groups in the community to expand the Pest Free Urban South programme (currently underway in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara-Papatoetoe) to Manurewa. They will also attend local events and facilitate hui on how to expand Pest Free initiatives and support local groups undertaking pest control.

29. The programme will expand community action through education and assistance to reduce pest plants and animals in the urban south environment. In addition to the coordinator, the budget will provide funding for a moth plant competition, resources such as traps and bait, and strategic planning.

30. Approval in principle is also sought for $40,000 towards this programme in 2022/2023 and $50,000 in 2023/2024, the reduction in budget is in anticipation that the same coordinator will continue, and therefore additional budget for training will not be needed.

Auckland Teaching Gardens – rainwater tanks and irrigation programme – $7,100

31. The board has indicated it would like to support a new programme in 2021/2022 to fund the installation of two 5,000 litre rainwater tanks and irrigation systems at the 'Maich' teaching garden site in Manurewa. Staff recommend that the board allocate $7,100 towards this programme in 2021/2022.

32. Teaching gardens provide the community with access to low cost, nutritious homegrown produce in an inclusive learning environment. The tanks will capture rainwater from rooftops which will be used for food cultivation. This will result in:

· reduced loads on the stormwater network (reducing contaminants flowing into freshwater and marine environments)

· increased community water storage (reducing demand for reticulated water at peak times)

· increased community resilience and emergency preparedness.

33. The tanks will model rainwater storage and irrigation systems that could be applied at students' homes or organisations.

34. This is a one-off programme for the 2021/2022 financial year.

Manurewa waste minimisation – $50,000

35. The board has indicated it would like to continue to fund community waste minimisation in the 2021/2022 financial year. The board has supported this programme since 2017 and allocated $45,000 towards this programme in the 2020/2021 financial year.

36. The 2021/2022 programme will build on previous local board investment and fund local waste wise champions who will support Manurewa residents to sort and reduce their waste, build community pride, and develop and implement community-led strategies to prevent illegal dumping. The programme will focus on providing local jobs for local people.

37. There will be three components to the programme:

· hiring and supporting waste wise champions to take action to reduce illegal dumping and support residents to manage and minimise their waste

· designing, installing, monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of signs in illegal dumping hotspots

· storytelling, promotion, and marketing of good news stories and waste wise champion / pride kits to catalyse behaviour change. The story-telling campaign will be refined and expanded in years two and three, and there will be a focus on expanding the impact of the waste champions.

38. Approval in principle is also sought for $50,000 towards this programme in 2022/2023 and 2023/2024.

Papakura Stream landowner engagement programme – $14,600

39. The board has indicated it would like to continue to support landowner engagement along the Papakura Stream in the 2021/2022 financial year. This will be the second year of this programme, which the board allocated $5,000 towards in the 2020/2021 financial year. Staff recommend that the board allocate $14,600 towards the continuation of this programme in 2021/2022.

40. The Papakura Stream catchment is shared between the Manurewa, Papakura, and Franklin Local Boards, and spans the Hunua Ranges to the Manukau Harbour. This programme seeks to restore five kilometres of the Papakura Stream over a three-year period. The Manurewa, Papakura, and Franklin Local Boards have each indicated that they would like to contribute equal funding for the programme (except Papakura Local Board which are contributing $5,900 extra for maintenance of existing planting in the Papakura Local Board area funded by the local board in previous years).

41. In the 2020/2021 financial year local board funding was used to conduct a landowner engagement survey. In 2021/2022 funding will be used for purchasing plants, community planting day events (two on public and four on private land), four community clean-up events, and landowner and business engagement.

42. Additional funding sources for this programme will be sought by Conservation Volunteers New Zealand which will contribute to stock exclusion in the rural portion of the Papakura Stream catchment. Trees for Survival will provide trees for landowners who expressed interest in stream restoration in surveys carried out.

43. Approval in principle is also sought from each of these local boards for $13,000 towards this programme in 2022/2023 and $14,000 in 2023/2024. In 2022/2023 and 2023/2024, planting, clean-ups, and engagement will continue.

Papakura Stream maintenance – $3,000

44. The board has indicated it would like to continue to support the Papakura Stream restoration maintenance programme in the 2021/2022 financial year.

45. The board has supported this programme since 2018/2019 and allocated $7,500 towards this initiative in the 2020/2021 financial year to undertake planting in this area. This budget will support weed control and maintenance in areas previously planted along the Papakura Stream within Frangipani and Holmes Road reserves.

46. In 2021/2022, maintenance is required for plantings undertaken by the community between 2018 and 2020. This includes a third year of maintenance for Frangipani Reserve and second year of maintenance for Holmes Road Reserve planting.

47. Approval in principle is also sought for $3,000 towards this programme in 2022/2023.

Manukau Harbour Forum - $7,400

48. The board has indicated that it would like to continue to fund the Manukau Harbour Forum in the 2021/2022 financial year. The board is one of nine local boards who make up the Manukau Harbour Forum (Franklin, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, Manurewa, Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, Ōtara-Papatoetoe, Papakura, Puketāpapa, Waitākere Ranges, and Whau Local Boards). These local boards border the Manukau Harbour and have an interest in protecting and restoring the mauri of the harbour.

49. In 2020/2021, each of the member local boards provided $1,750 to co-fund the Manukau Harbour Forum and $43,650 was carried forward from the 2019/2020 financial year. This was allocated to several activities including a Manukau Harbour Forum coordinator, a youth sustainability wānanga, and a youth freshwater monitoring training programme.

50. Staff recommend that each of the nine member boards contribute a further $7,400 each towards the forum in the 2021/2022 financial year, allowing a total budget of $66,600. Staff recommend that this funding supports:

· a Manukau Harbour Forum coordinator to assist with the delivery of the forum’s goals ($45,000)

· funding for a youth sustainability wānanga which would involve around 50 students from all member local board areas to develop leadership skills, sustainability knowledge, and collaborative action programmes ($15,000)

· funding to develop a communications plan for the Manukau Harbour Forum ($6,600).

51. Approval in principle is also sought for $8,000 towards this programme from each member local board in both 2022/2023 and 2023/2024.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

52. In June 2019 Auckland Council declared a climate emergency and in response to this the council adopted the Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan in July 2020.

53. Each activity in the work programme is assessed to identify whether it will have an impact on greenhouse gas emissions and contributing towards climate change adaptation.

54. Table 1 outlines the key activities in the 2021/2022 work programme that have an impact on greenhouse gas emissions or contribute towards climate change adaptation.

Table 1: Climate impact assessment of proposed activities

Activity name	Climate impact
Industrial Pollution Prevention Programme – Wiri	These programmes seek to restore freshwater ecosystems and reduce pollution into the Manukau Harbour by engaging with landowners, industry, and community members around pollution reduction and restoration. Freshwater ecosystems provide many ecosystem services such as flood mitigation, habitat for native biodiversity and carbon sequestration (riparian planting). These services are enhanced when the ecosystems are enhanced.
Awa restoration programme
Papakura Stream maintenance
Papakura Stream landowner engagement programme
Manukau Harbour Forum
Pest Free Urban South	Management of exotic species’ impacts is one of the main ways in which we can improve resilience of Auckland’s biodiversity to climate change.
Auckland Teaching Gardens – rainwater tanks and irrigation programme	Improving community resilience to the impact of climate change on increased periods of drought will be a direct outcome of this programme. Greenhouse gas reductions will be a secondary outcome (reducing demand on supplied water for the gardens reduces Auckland Teaching Gardens’ indirect emissions related to the supply of reticulated water).
Manurewa waste minimisation	This programme seeks to reduce waste and therefore reduce greenhouse gasses which are produced when waste is sent to landfill.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

55. The work programme was developed through a collaborative approach by operational council departments, with each department represented in the integrated team that presented the draft work programme to the local board at a series of workshops.

56. In particular, the attached Infrastructure and Environmental Services work programme reflects the integrated activities developed by Environmental Services, Healthy Waters and Waste Solutions.

57. Healthy Waters will coordinate with Natural Environment Strategy and Environmental Services staff on work related to the Manukau Harbour Forum, and with Parks, Sports, and Recreation on the Awa restoration programme and the Auckland Teaching Gardens rainwater tanks and irrigation programme.

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

Local impacts and local board views

58. The programmes proposed for inclusion in the board’s Infrastructure and Environmental Services work programme will have positive environmental outcomes across the Manurewa Local Board area. Particular focus areas for the 2021/2022 work programme include Wiri, Homai, Weymouth, and along the Papakura Stream.

59. The programmes noted above align with the local board plan outcome ‘our natural environment is valued, protected, and enhanced’. The proposed work programme has been considered by the local board in a series of workshops from December 2020 to May 2021. The views expressed by local board members during the workshops have informed the recommended work programme.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

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

61. The work programme includes activities that aim to deliver outcomes for and with Māori, in alignment with the strategic priority areas outlined in Kia ora Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland Council’s Māori Outcome Framework). Progress on how the activities are achieving these outcomes will be reported to the local board on a quarterly basis.

62. Staff recognise that environmental management, water quality and land management have integral links with the mauri of the environment and concepts of kaitiakitanga.

63. Table 2 outlines the activities in the 2021/2022 work programme that contribute towards the delivery of specific Māori outcomes.

Table 2: Māori outcome delivery through proposed activities

Activity name	Māori outcome	Māori outcome description
Industrial Pollution Prevention Programme – Wiri	Kaitiakitanga	This programme was designed in collaboration with mana whenua in 2013. Through encouraging businesses to protect waterways, it contributes to increasing the mauri of local awa and moana, a key issue of significance to mana whenua.
Awa restoration programme	Kaitiakitanga and realising rangatahi potential	Te Pu-a-nga Maara is a collective of rangatahi from Makaurau, Papatūānuku and Manurewa Marae who have developed Te Kete Waiora – a water testing kit that can be utilised in both fresh and saline environments. Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Manurewa will be one of the schools invited to participate in the water testing programme.
Pest Free Urban South	Kaitiakitanga	The coordinator will reach out to local rangatahi Māori to be engaged in conservation activities, and will also be advised to identify key opportunities to work with mana whenua and mataawaka groups. Staff will reach out to local mana whenua for procurement of the coordinator.
Auckland Teaching Gardens – rainwater tanks and irrigation programme	Kaitiakitanga	Auckland Teaching Gardens are planning to develop relationships and collaboration with mana whenua and the wider Māori community where they have teaching garden sites. This will be a part of Auckland Teaching Gardens’ long term development strategy and is not yet in place. For example, one future outcome would be to have mana whenua representation on the Auckland Teaching Gardens board.
Manurewa waste minimisation	Kaitiakitanga	Consultation and collaboration with mataawaka in Manurewa will be achieved through participants and employees of the programme, many of whom are Māori.
Papakura Stream landowner engagement programme	Kaitiakitanga	The contractor acknowledges iwi as kaitiaki of Auckland's natural world and the importance of their involvement in restoration and protection of our natural taonga. They strive to connect with iwi on this initiative and will actively seek opportunities to collaborate.
Manukau Harbour Forum	Kaitiakitanga and realising rangatahi potential	Māori youth will be involved in the youth sustainability wānanga and are supported to develop and implement programmes relevant to them and their communities. The wānanga also engages with kaumātua from Makaurau Marae to provide advice and mātauranga Māori that informs programme delivery. During the wānanga, te reo Māori is actively promoted, as a key component of programme delivery.

64. Where aspects of the proposed work programme are anticipated to have a significant impact on activity of importance to Māori then appropriate engagement will be undertaken.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

65. The proposed environment work programme for 2021/2022 totals to $219,100 of the board’s locally driven initiatives (LDI) operational budget. This amount can be accommodated within the board’s total draft budget for 2021/2022.

66. Budgets for activities in the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 financial years are indicative. While local board approval in principle is being sought for these future years through this report, formal approval will be sought on an annual basis, once budgets and programme costs are confirmed.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

67. If the proposed Infrastructure and Environmental Services work programme is not approved before the start of the financial year, there is a risk that activities may be delayed or not delivered within the financial year.

68. Risks and mitigations for new activity lines were considered during the scoping phase. There may be risks associated with trialling a new activity for the first year. These will be continually assessed and reported to the local board.

69. The COVID-19 pandemic could have a further negative impact on the delivery local board work programmes if the COVID-19 Alert Level changes (New Zealand’s 4-level Alert System specifies measures to be taken against COVID-19 at each level). The deliverability of some activities will decrease if there is an increase to the COVID-19 Alert Level. Drought conditions may also lead to delays in any programmes which involve planting.

70. Resourcing of the work programme is based on current staff capacity within departments. Therefore, changes to staff capacity may also have an impact on work programme delivery.

71. Table 3 shows the key risks associated with activities in the proposed 2021/2022 work programme, as well as proposed mitigations.

Table 3: Key risks and mitigations for activities

Activity name	Risk	Mitigation	Rating after mitigation
Industrial Pollution Prevention Programme – Wiri	This programme is dependent on the businesses being willing to cooperate. Success is measured by the number of recommendations that have been implemented, so a risk of no implementations does exist.	Enough businesses have been identified to ensure that there are sufficient businesses to engage with if not all are interested. There has been high uptake from businesses in previous financial years.	Low
Awa restoration programme	There is a risk that the contractor may be unavailable.	Staff will engage early to ensure that contractors are available.	Low
Pest Free Urban South	Unable to obtain a suitable contractor for the pest free coordinator.	Several options have already been identified, therefore this is considered a low risk.	Low
	Community change in demand and values. For instance, not supporting the use of herbicide in their area.	This can be mitigated by identifying alternative options.	Low
	School programs too busy to include or not interested.	To mitigate this, Natural Environment Delivery, Sustainable Schools, Healthy Waters and Parks staff will work in co-partnership to deliver the Pest Free Urban South vision.	Low
Auckland Teaching Gardens – rainwater tanks and irrigation programme	Delivery will be dependent on rainwater tank supplier timelines (and any delays and timeframes they require for order and delivery after payment received).	Contractors will be procured based on track record and therefore this is considered a low risk.	Low
Manurewa waste minimisation	There is a risk of miscommunication between groups involved in delivery, which could impact the efficacy of the programme.	This will be mitigated by the programme lead attending meetings and ensuring members of each team have a clear understanding of their role and are working towards a shared kaupapa.	Low
Manurewa waste minimisation	There is a risk of signage being vandalised and taken down.	This will be mitigated through close monitoring and working with the waste solutions team.	Medium
Papakura Stream landowner engagement programme	There is a risk of the identified contractor being unavailable. To mitigate this staff will engage early.	Staff have already liaised with the contractor who is available and committed to doing the work on this programme.	Low
Papakura Stream maintenance	There is a risk of contractor unavailability to deliver programme.	The contractor has been engaged with in advance and is available.	Low
Manukau Harbour Forum	This programme is dependent on the sourcing of a suitable contractor to coordinate the forum and mana whenua contractor to co-deliver the wānanga.	The mana whenua contractor has worked on the programme for the past two years and has indicated they can continue to support the wānanga, subject to the forum’s agreement to continue to fund the programme. Several options have been identified for the Manukau Harbour Forum coordinator and therefore not finding a suitable contractor is considered a low risk.	Low

72. Where a work programme activity cannot be completed on time or to budget, due to unforeseen circumstances, this will be signalled to the local board at the earliest opportunity.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

73. Delivery of the activity in the approved work programme will commence once approved and continue until 30 June 2022. Activity progress will be reported to the local board on a quarterly basis.

74. Where the work programme identifies further decisions and milestones for each activity, these will be brought to the local board when appropriate.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

9. The proposed activities for delivery as part of the board’s AUL work programme 2021/2022 are detailed below. See Attachment A for further detail.

Town Centre Steering Group – $100,000

10. The Manurewa Local Board Plan (2020) identifies the local board’s wish to continue working with Manurewa Business Association and the Town Centre Steering Group on activities that create interest, promote a sense of safety and bring more people to the town centres.

11. The Town Centre Steering Group (steering group) was established in 2015. The steering group is made up of the Manurewa Local Board representatives, Auckland Council group staff, the Manurewa Business Association, and New Zealand Police. It has an independent chair and draws upon consultant support as required.

12. In recognition of the wider role of the steering group in supporting the town centre revitalisation implementation, the funding allocation will enable the continuation of the following activities to help support the delivery of local economic outcomes:

· Facilitation and support of the Manurewa Town Centre Steering Group ($25,000): Meeting the costs of continuing the steering group and associated consultant support and in addition the delivery of key projects identified by the Steering Group in the forthcoming year.

· Support for urban design work ($15,000): meeting the costs of consultant support to ensure that the urban design opportunities in the local board area being investigated and outcomes defined.

· Support Manurewa Business Improvement District to implement their strategic plan ($50,000): An implementation plan will be developed by Manurewa Business Improvement District to identify how the BID will implement their strategic plan. This funding is dependent on the completion of the implementation plan. Once completed the steering group can recommend to the local board activities that they may wish to support and provide funding support from this allocation of $50,000. To ensure the funds will be spent in the financial year, an indication of what activities could be supported will need to be made by December 2021 to enable the local board to agree any funding.

· Outcomes identified by other work in surrounding areas ($10,000): Exact projects are to be identified but the opex budget can be used to fund studies or research that will support the growth of the local board area, some of which may be identified through the current Integrated Area Plan for the Manurewa-Takanini-Papakura corridor.

13. Outside the continuation of support for the steering group the full scope of projects and initiatives will be drafted with the input of the local board and steering group to ensure they deliver local economic outcomes.

Local Business Mentors - $11,000

14. The Regional Business Partnership Programme (RBP) delivered by Auckland Unlimited has, through the COVID-19 Business Advisory Fund, provided almost $13 million of help to over 5000 businesses across the Auckland region. The COVID-19 fund has now been exhausted. Many Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) across the region especially smaller businesses are not now able to access support via the RBP programme and subsequent research by AUL has shown that there is still significant demand for support.

15. A total of 167 businesses in Manurewa accessed the RBP over the course of 2020. In the six months, July – December 2020, 2 per cent of subscribers to the RBP were from Manurewa, an area home to 2.5 per cent of the region’s businesses. All businesses were eligible under the COVID Response package but that won’t be the case going forward and with the average business size in Manurewa having 5.3 employees, many businesses will now become ineligible.

16. There are 5,148 businesses in Manurewa. Almost 4,400 (87 per cent) of the area’s businesses have five employees or less. These smaller businesses have less access to mainstream government business support and fewer resources to put towards paying for help to grow their business.

17. The Small Business Mentoring service provides up to 12 months of confidential, one-on-one assistance for small business owners who want to grow or need help to solve specific business challenges. Business mentors have experience and empathy for small business, offering guidance, a sounding board, challenging their thinking, and providing them with an independent and fresh perspective.

18. Auckland Unlimited (AUL) will contract Business Mentor New Zealand to provide the service to businesses from the local board area. AUL Business Advisors can make referrals to businesses that contact AUL looking for support for whom the initiative is suited. Also, AUL is able to promote the opportunity to businesses, for example, via email to Manurewa businesses that we hold on our database of 20,000 businesses. In addition, AUL will seek to utilise the local board’s own channels to their community.

19. Business Mentors NZ or AUL Business Advisors will be able to assess whether a business will benefit from the support being made available. Any recruitment programme would be strengthened by local business associations’ support to reach their membership.

Rebel Business School - $12,500

20. The Rebel Business School (previously known as Pop-Up Business School) provides a free 10-day business school to provide education and support for local people interested in starting their own business. Examples elsewhere have had positive results in terms of the numbers of businesses established. By supporting local residents, through the provision of entrepreneurial training, the generation of local businesses will be increased, and local employment opportunities provided. A contribution from the Ministry of Social Development is also being made. AUL will manage the contract and provide logistical support on behalf of the Manurewa Local Board.

Young Enterprise Scheme Kick Start Days Sponsorship- $2,000

21. Auckland Business Chamber, on behalf of the Young Enterprise Trust, delivers the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) in Auckland. YES is a practical, year-long programme for year 12 and 13 students.

22. Fostering youth entrepreneurship is a key requirement for developing an innovative economy and creating employment pathways for our young people. Through the programme, students develop creative ideas into actual businesses, complete with real products and services and real profit and loss. Students learn key work skills and business knowledge including business fundamentals, planning, interpersonal relations, financial, decision making, reporting, risk management and teamwork. YES helps create a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship amongst Auckland’s young people.

23. The funding from the local board will support through sponsorship, the delivery of the overall YES program, including the Kick Start days in February 2022 where the Auckland Business Chamber will specifically acknowledge local board support. The Kick Start days are the first day students get to meet the Young Enterprise team, and find out about their 2022 year, what YES is about, and what is in store for them. All schools in the local board area that have shown an interest in YES are invited. In addition, the invite is extended to those schools who have not shown an interest to enable them to decide as to whether to participate.

Feedback on Equity of Service Levels and Funding Proposals - Draft Report

File No.: CP2021/07918

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To provide local board feedback to the Joint Governance Working Party on the funding and decision-making proposals set out in the Equity of Service Levels and Funding - Draft Report.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The local board has received and discussed the Equity of Service Levels and Funding - Draft Report at its April/May 2021 workshop.

3. The Draft Report (refer Attachment A) sets out the draft recommendations from the Joint Governance Working Party in relation to:

· improving the equity of funding allocation across local boards

· increasing the decision-making responsibility of local boards

· establishing minimum service levels

· implications of multi-board services.

4. The Joint Governance Working Party seeks local board feedback on these proposals to consider in the preparation of a final set of proposals to be reported to the Governing Body.

5. The local board’s feedback on these proposals (refer Attachment B) has been prepared on the template provided.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) provide feedback using the attached template (Attachment B) to the Joint Governance Working Party on the funding and decision-making proposals set out in the Equity of Service Levels and Funding Proposals – Draft Report.

Horopaki

Context

6. In October and November 2020 workshops, local boards considered and provided input on the Equity of Service Levels and Funding Discussion paper which presented options, in respect of local community services, to:

· increase local board decision making responsibility

· increase equity of funding allocation between local boards

· establish minimum service levels where required

· address funding of multi-board services and decision-making on their service levels.

7. The Joint Governance Working Party considered this local board input and provided direction to staff in the preparation of the funding and decision-making proposals of the Equity of Service Levels and Funding Draft Report (refer Attachment A).

8. Staff presented the Draft Report to local boards in workshops between 6 April and 6 May 2021.

9. The purpose of this report is to enable the local board to provide formal feedback on the draft recommendations which propose:

· changes to local board decision-making responsibilities over local community services

· implementation of an equity-based funding allocation approach for local community services.

10. These matters will be reported to the Joint Governance Working Party and then to the Governing Body later this year. If adopted, public consultation would be undertaken with the aim of implementing decisions progressively between 2022 and 2024.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

11. These proposals (refer Attachment A) are significant changes. If adopted by the Governing Body, these recommendations would:

· increase local board decision-making responsibilities over community services

· change the allocation of Asset Based Services (ABS) funding to local boards

· require collaboration between local boards on some multi-board service decisions

· have a high community interest

· not affect existing local board responsibility for Local Discretionary Initiatives (LDI) service decisions or the current LDI funding approach.

12. Feedback on these proposals is sought from the local board to assist the Joint Governance Working Party in providing direction to staff and the Governing Body on progressing these proposals.

13. The Working Party’s final report to the Governing Body will also update illustrative funding outcomes with asset values and ABS budgets updated and adopted under Long-term Plan 2021-31. Funding outcomes remain illustrative until funding model and financial inputs are adopted, planned for Long-term Plan 2024-34.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

14. Providing feedback on the draft report does not have a direct impact on climate change.

15. Changes made to local community services as a result of the proposed policy may have a climate impact and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

16. If adopted, the proposed policy will impact on several divisions of the council including Customer and Community Services, Finance and Governance. Staff from these divisions have been involved in the development of these proposals.

17. Staff from these divisions will also be significantly involved in the implementation of Governing Body decisions on the proposals. A critical implementation workstream will ensure staff have the capacity and the knowledge required to enable sound advice to be provided to local boards under these proposals.

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

Local impacts and local board views

18. Over time, these proposals have the potential to fundamentally change local community service delivery depending on the extent to which local boards and their communities make changes.

19. Local boards have discussed policy options in workshops in October and November 2021 and considered the proposed policy in workshops in April and May 2021. Local boards can also provide their input and views through their representatives on the Joint Governance Working Party.

20. This report provides the opportunity for local boards to provide their formal feedback on the Draft Report proposals.

21. More detailed discussion of the local implications of the policy proposal is included in the Draft Report, provided as Attachment A.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

22. As part of increased decision-making for asset-based services, and under local government legislation, local boards must demonstrate how Māori are involved, and their needs are reflected, in these decisions. This means that in making service decisions, local boards should be able to:

· demonstrate effective Māori involvement in the local board planning processes

· clearly articulate Māori priorities in local board funding and delivery of asset-based services.

23. It is likely that these changes will result in more responsive services for Māori communities at the local level.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

24. Introduction of the proposed policy would have several significant financial impacts, including:

· changes to local board funding allocations that may result in funding increases for some local boards and funding decreases for others

· broader local board decision-making responsibilities that will require greater flexibility in how local boards allocate their funding to service delivery

· local board decisions which would include service impacts on assets, such as investment, enhancement, renewal, optimisation and removal from service.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

25. Development of the proposed policy involved several workshops with each local board. Several local boards requested additional workshops on the proposals as their implications became better understood.

26. A range of risks associated with approval and implementation of these proposals were discussed during workshops and considered in the development of these proposals, including:

· whether there will be sufficient understanding of the proposals and support for their benefits to enable them to be adopted

· what alternative approaches might address the issues these proposals seek to address, should they not proceed

· developing alternative funding equity transition options including implications on local board funding and overall timing

· developing options to respond to concerns of local boards which might be adversely affected by equity funding proposals

· addressing local board concerns for the perceived downside of greater decision-making responsibility if the level of decision support does not increase

· ensuring the organisation is structured, resourced and adequately supported to provide the quality service advice needed by local boards to make well-informed decisions.

27. Plans are either in place or currently being developed to address these risks. The proposed two stage implementation timeline (see below) is designed to progressively grow the council capability, develop robust processes, and ensure effective and transparent management of necessary changes.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

28. Staff will report local board feedback to the Joint Governance Working Party which will consider this feedback, along with further staff advice, and provide its recommendations to the Governing Body later this year.

29. The Governing Body would undertake public consultation on its draft decisions as follows:

· under the Annual Plan 2022/23, in the case of changes to the Allocation of Decision-making Responsibilities policy

· under the Long-term Plan 2024-2034, in the case of changes to the Local Board Funding policy.

30. Proposals adopted by the Governing Body would be progressively implemented from 2022 to 2024.

Economic Development Action Plan: Draft for feedback

File No.: CP2021/08098

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.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa 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.

Delegation of feedback to be provided to the Establishment Unit Board of the City Centre to Māngere light rail project

File No.: CP2021/07881

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To consider whether the local board wishes to formally delegate one local board member to provide feedback to the Establishment Unit Board of the City Centre to Māngere light rail project.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. An Establishment Unit is being set up by the Cabinet to provide the public face of the City Centre to Māngere light rail project, undertake stakeholder and community engagement, and take forward work to resolve key outstanding questions in relation to project scope and delivery. A key output of the unit will be to develop a business case over approximately six months which looks at the available options.

3. The work of the Establishment Unit will be guided by an inclusive governance structure made up of representatives of central and local government, Treaty partners and an independent chairperson.

4. Minister of Transport Hon Michael Wood wrote to local board members in May 2021 inviting local board members to select a single representative to be appointed to the Establishment Unit Board. At the May 2021 Chairs’ Forum, Margi Watson was selected for this role.

5. The Establishment Unit now has until early September 2021 to gather the views of local boards, ward councillors, and the public.

6. Staff are requesting that local boards delegate a member to provide feedback on behalf of the local board, to ensure that feedback can be provided in a short timeframe after public feedback has been collated and provided to the local board.

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) considers if the local board wishes to delegate one local board member to provide feedback on behalf of the local board to the Establishment Unit Board of the City Centre to Māngere light rail project.

Horopaki

Context

7. In March 2021, the Cabinet met to agree how to progress the next steps for the City Centre to Māngere light rail project (CC2M).

8. To give effect to this, the Cabinet has directed that an Establishment Unit be set up to provide the public face of the project, undertake stakeholder and community engagement, and take forward work to resolve key outstanding questions in relation to project scope and delivery entity.

9. The Establishment Unit Board will be chaired by an independent chair appointed by the Minister of Transport and the Minister of Finance. Membership will comprise:

· a single representative (the chief executive or a senior delegate) from Auckland Council, Auckland Transport, Waka Kotahi, Kāinga Ora and the Ministry of Transport

· a representative from mana whenua

· a representative of Auckland Council’s local boards (Margi Watson)

· a representative of Auckland Council’s Governing Body (Chris Darby)

· Te Waihanga (the New Zealand Infrastructure Commission) and Treasury will support the work of the Establishment Unit Board as observers.

10. A key output of the unit will be to develop a business case over approximately six months which looks at the available options. This will enable quality decisions on key matters based on evidence, such as mode, route alignment and delivery.

11. The Mayor and Deputy Mayor have been invited to join Minister of Transport Hon Michael Wood and Minister of Finance Hon Grant Robertson as sponsors of this project. This sponsors group will play an important function in ensuring political alignment on the project between central and local government and setting strategic direction.

Analysis and advice

12. The Auckland Light Rail team will be engaging with local boards first so that local board members are clear about the scope and programme of engagement.

13. This will take place as follows:

· 11 June: briefing the six local boards that are within the planned corridor for light rail - Waitematā, Albert-Eden, Puketāpapa, Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara-Papatoetoe

· 14 June: presentation to Chairs’ Forum

· 30 June: inviting local board chairs or their delegate to attend a Planning Committee briefing

· Further briefings will be organised to take place after the public consultation period in July/ August 2021.

14. Staff will focus on providing local board members with an understanding of the approach being taken by the Establishment Unit and key constraints, so that local board members can respond to any queries they received and champion the engagement process within their community.

15. Throughout the engagement period, the Establishment Unit will be seeking broad views, key themes (could be geographically based) and feedback on the outcomes the project is set to achieve. This will mirror the public engagement process that will also focus on outcomes and community experience.

16. In order to ensure that there is adequate time for local boards to review public feedback ahead of providing local board feedback, staff are recommending that local boards delegate a member to provide the local board’s feedback

Climate impact statement

17. Delegating to one local board member the authority to provide feedback to the Establishment Unit Board of the City Centre to Māngere light rail project does not have any quantifiable climate impacts.

18. The Establishment Unit Board will have an opportunity to consider climate impacts as part of making recommendations on the project.

Council group impacts and views

19. The Mayor and Deputy Mayor have been invited to join the Minister of Transport Hon Michael Wood and Minister of Finance Hon Grant Robertson as sponsors of the project. The project sponsors will set the strategic direction for the project, including the project scope and engagement plans, and maintain political cooperation between central government and Auckland Council with regards to the project.

20. The Governing Body representative and the local board representative will be joined by the Chief Executive as the representatives of Auckland Council on the Establishment Unit Board.

Local impacts and local board views

21. This delegation will provide the opportunity for all local boards to provide formal feedback to the Establishment Unit Board within the given timeframe of this first stage of work.

22. Margi Watson, as the local board representative on the Establishment Unit Board, will develop good lines of communication with other local board members. Having a local board representative on the Establishment Unit Board is not a proxy for local board engagement on this project and does not replace the need to obtain feedback from local boards.

23. The work of the Establishment Unit will be guided by an inclusive governance structure made up of representatives of central and local government, Treaty Partners and an independent chairperson.

24. A key function of the Establishment Unit will be to undertake high quality engagement with communities, stakeholders, mana whenua and mataawaka.

Risks and mitigations

26. No risks have been identified for delegating to one local board member the authority to provide feedback to the Establishment Unit Board of the City Centre to Māngere light rail project.

27. The risks of not appointing a delegate may be that formal feedback is not able to be provided by the local board within the relevant timeframe or may need to be provided via the urgent decision mechanism.

Next steps

28. Staff will work with the Establishment Unit to make arrangements for local board briefings ahead of public consultation.

29. Public consultation will take place in July and August 2021.

30. Further briefings to provide analysis of the public feedback received will be provided towards the end of August 2021.

Recommendation/s

Horopaki

Context

9. Eke Panuku Development Auckland is the council-controlled organisation that delivers urban regeneration in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland). Urban regeneration is the planning of neighbourhoods and the improvement of buildings and spaces to strengthen communities and the economy to make it an even better place to live.

10. Our city is facing rapid growth. Quality development is required to accommodate this growth and to ensure people love and can afford to live in Auckland. We imagine a city of strong neighbourhoods. We work across many neighbourhoods throughout our city from large, long-term urban regeneration plans to small projects on specific sites to meet the needs of the city’s long-term growth - including more types of homes people can afford. We work alongside the locals, other parts of the council and businesses to regenerate our city in ways that benefit both our local communities and Auckland as a whole.

11. We deliver returns for the council, and at the same time, we ensure our assets contribute positively to the neighbourhoods of Tāmaki Makaurau. We manage around $2.4 billion of land and buildings owned by the Auckland Council.

12. In the period 1 September 2020 to 31 March 2021, we continued our urban regeneration programme across the region, brought a $22.8m return to the council via property management, purchased six properties on behalf of the group, and sold nine properties as part of either our neighbourhood regeneration or as directed by Auckland Council.

Placemaking

22. Placemaking is a process that fosters the creation of vital public spaces. At Eke Panuku this is done through:

· supporting communities through ongoing change taking place

· building trust and knowledge through relationships to ensure that regeneration fits with the characteristics of a place

· develop an iterative, ‘do-learn-do’ process to inform, test, and foreshadow future design

· foster reciprocal relationships between place and people

· capacity-building towards socio-economic regeneration through sustainable procurement and regenerative economics.

Placemaking for Transform Manukau
