File No.: CP2021/08537
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To update the board on the measures being undertaken to address safety issues on Walters Road.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. Walters Road was historically on the urban fringe of Papakura and Auckland. Due to the location of neighbouring residential development and schools, pedestrian safety was not a significant issue.
3. Changes in land use and development over the last 30 years has dramatically increased all forms of traffic.
4. Auckland Transport (AT) and Healthy Waters were already aware of safety issues, pedestrian safety and open drains and had undertaken nearby works, to begin addressing the issues.
5. Papakura Normal School presented to the board in April 2021 on the safety concerns and asked AT and Healthy Waters to progress solutions to the issues raised.
6. This report updates the board on the current situation.
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) receive the Walters Road upgrade report.
Horopaki
Context
7. In 1939 Papakura Army Base was established on the fringe of Papakura, bounded by Grove and Walters Road. Drainage ditches, which may have also originally had a fortification function, bounded the camp on both Walters and Grove Roads. Essentially for the next fifty years the camp was on the rural-urban boundary and there was limited pedestrian and cycle traffic. On the other side of these roads was farmland and residential development stopped on Grove Road close to the southern boundary of the camp, near Fernaig Street.
8. In 1958 Papakura Normal School opened, but most of the children attending the school came from the south and west of the school. Cosgrove School’s (1959) catchment picked up the pupils from the south and east. This meant there was little need to traverse the roads. Further, apart from local trips and access to the Ardmore Aerodrome, traffic was light meaning that cyclists and pedestrians navigated these ‘rural’ roads when necessary.
Oct 1968
9. With the significant downsizing of the Army base and residential development beginning to occur since the mid-1970s, traffic increased. Over the next 30 years with the sale of some army land and plan changes, the environment effectively became urban, with increases of all forms of traffic.
10. In the late 1990s works on Bruce Pulman park began on the northern side of the road and with the adoption of the unitary plan, many developments have occurred to the east of Grove Road and more recently on the north of Walters Road. This further increased traffic movements and included vulnerable road users. The dramatic increase in impervious surface has also impacted on the volume of stormwater run-off.
11. At its meeting on Wednesday 28 April 2021, pupils from Papakura Normal School presented to the local board on the dual dangers of the drainage ditch and the lack of footpath on the southern side of Walters Road. This included highlighting an incident where a child fell into the ditch in 2019.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
12. Auckland Transport and Healthy Waters were already aware of the issues on Walters Road. AT has had onsite meetings with stakeholders to address issues and a small portion of footpath and a signalized pedestrian crossing is currently being installed outside Kauri Flats School. Healthy Waters had also begun the Awakeri wetlands, which needed to be commissioned so that stormwater associated with the new development could be diverted away from open drains on Walters Road. This reduced the peak flows and therefore enable the open channels to be piped.
13. Following the school’s deputation, staff from both AT and Healthy Waters have met on a number of occasions to discuss how these issues can be resolved. There are a significant number of stakeholders along this stretch of road. The two schools, the Ministry of Defence, The Bruce Pulman Trust, private developers and other residents. A number of council departments, AT and iwi need to work together to develop a project plan to efficiently address the many issues.
14. The are many issues, in addition to staging and funding. These include:
· existing vegetation
· lack of geotechnical data
· capacity modelling
· traffic management
15. Currently AT and Healthy Waters are in the early stages of investigation and planning to progress the works. While the piping is the first component of the work, AT and Healthy Waters are working together on timing and staging. The new pipe-works need not only to accommodate existing flows but also the additional flows from paving the footpath, as well as culverting.
16. Ideally the staging should be:
· tree removal
· install and back-fill piping along with kerb and channeling, catch pits and leads to manholes and manholes to the main pipeline
· lay footpath, berm planting and road seal to the new kerb.
17. As noted, this is a complex project and will take some time to address the issues and progress will be regularly reported to the board.

Approval for five new public road names, two new private road names and an existing road name extension at 200-252 Park Estate Road, Hingaia
File No.: CP2021/07493
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek approval from the Papakura Papakura Local Board to name five new public roads, two new private roads being commonly owned access lots (COALs), and also to extend an existing public road name.
2. All of the roads in this report have been created by way of multiple subdivision resource consents for the development known as ‘Park Green’, at 200-252 Park Estate Road, Hingaia.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
3. The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines (the Guidelines) set out the requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names. The Guidelines state that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider / developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the local board’s approval.
4. The Park Green development is being undertaken in various stages by different developers and consultants. This report details two naming applications for Park Green as follows:
4.1) Fletcher Residential Limited (FRL) have applied to name three public roads (labelled 12, 13 and 18) and two COALs (labelled 1 and 2) for Stage 1 of Park Green (consent reference SUB60356641) at 200 Park Estate Road, Hingaia.
4.2) Civilplan Consultants Limited (CCL) have applied to name two public roads (labelled 7 and 8) for Stage 1A of Park Green (consent reference SUB60353400) at the adjacent site 252 Park Estate Road, Hingaia.
5. Ngāti Tamaoho have gifted the names for the two Stage 1 private roads (COALs) by FRL.
6. All the road name options proposed in this report have been assessed against the Guidelines and the ‘Australian & New Zealand Standard, Rural and Urban Addressing, AS NZS 4819:2011’ and the ‘Guidelines for Addressing in-fill Developments 2019 – LINZ OP G 01245’ (the Standards). The technical matters required by those documents are considered to have been met and the proposed names are not duplicated elsewhere in the region or in close proximity. Mana whenua have been consulted in the manner required by the Guidelines.
7. The names proposed by FRL for the Stage 1 roads at 200 Park Estate Road are:
i. Public Road 12: Seafoam Road
ii. Public Road 13: Aquamarine Road
iii. Public Road 18: Chartreuse Road
iv. COAL 1 (name gifted by Ngāti Tamaoho): Rauriki Lane
v. COAL 2 (name gifted by Ngāti Tamaoho): Tawake Lane
8. The names proposed by CCL for the Stage 1A roads at 252 Park Estate Road are:
vi. Public Road 7: Emerald Avenue
vii. Public Road 8: Evergreen Parade
9. Alternative name options are as follows:
Stage 1 Roads by FRL
· Turquoise Road
· Erin Road
· Kohepiro Lane
Stage 1A Roads by CCL
· Ivy Lane
· Shamrock Road
· Wintergarden Drive
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) approve as below, three new public road names proposed by Fletcher Residential Limited, and two new private road (COAL) names gifted by Ngāti Tamaoho for Stage 1 of the ‘Park Green’ subdivision at 200 Park Easte Road, Hingaia, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references SUB60356641 and BUN60356640):
i. Public Road 12: Seafoam Road
ii. Public Road 13: Aquamarine Road
iii. Public Road 18: Chartreuse Road
iv. COAL 1 (gifted by Ngāti Tamaoho): Rauriki Lane
v. COAL 2 (gifted by Ngāti Tamaoho): Tawake Lane
b) approve the two new public road names proposed by Civilplan Consultants Ltd on behalf of the applicant for Stage 1A of the ‘Park Green’ subdivision at 252 Park Easte Road, Hingaia, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references SUB60353400 and BUN60353348):
vi. Public Road 7: Emerald Avenue
vii. Public Road 8: Evergreen Parade
c) approve the extension of the existing public road name ‘Port Way’ for a newly built section of that road; the first sections having already been named by the Papakura Local Board under resolutions PPK/2019/177 and PPK/2020/130.
Horopaki
Context
10. The Park Green development is owned by Hugh Green Limited, but is being completed across various stages by different developers and consultants
11. FRL application for Stage 1 at 200 Park Estate Road: Resource consent references SUB60356641 and BUN60356640 were issued in January 2021 for the construction of 38 new residential freehold units and associated subdivision including three new public roads and two commonly owned access lots (COALs).
12. CCL application for Stage 1A at 252 Park Estate Road: Resource consent references SUB60353400 and BUN60353348 were issued in December 2020 for subdivision to create numerous new residential lots, super lots, roads and infrastructure, including two new public roads and the extension of the existing public road already named ‘Port Way’.
13. Site and location plans of both of the development stages can be found in Attachment A.
14. In accordance with the Standards, any road including public roads and any private ways, COALs, and right of ways, that serve more than five lots generally require a new road name in order to ensure safe, logical and efficient street numbering.
15. Therefore, in these development stages, all of the described roads require road names because they are either public roads or serve more than five lots. This can be seen in Attachment A, where the roads that require names are highlighted.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
16. The Guidelines set out the requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names and have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming across the Auckland Region. The Guidelines allow that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the local board’s approval.
17. The Guidelines provide for road names to reflect one of the following local themes, with the use of Māori names being actively encouraged:
· a historical, cultural, or ancestral linkage to an area; or
· a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity theme or feature; or
· an existing them in the area, or a new cohesive theme for large greenfield developments.
18. Theme: All of the proposed road names within the Park Green development follow the theme of the colour green. This is a cohesive theme covering the entire development area, chosen to represent the various features and components of the development and land. All of the names proposed in this report by FRL and CRL follow this same theme. The colour green theme reflects:
· the development’s name ‘Park Green’
· Ngāti Tamaoho’s chosen theme of ngā rākau o te tai manuka; the plants and trees of the coastline of the Manukau Harbour (Te Mānukanuka O Hoturoa). More detail on Ngāti Tamaoho’s involvement can be found in the paragraphs below
· the landowner’s name ‘Hugh Green Limited’
· the green open spaces that are to be incorporated into the development, including parks, esplanade reserves and revegetated streams and wetlands.
19. Ngāti Tamaoho gifted names and theme: The two COAL (private road) names under Stage 1 by FRL have been gifted by Ngāti Tamaoho. These names follow the central theme of ngā rākau o te tai manuka; the plants and trees of the coastline of the Manukau Harbour (Te Mānukanuka O Hoturoa). These are taonga species which grew, and in some cases still grow, on the local shorelines including those shorelines that will now become part of the Park Green development. This theme of ngā rākau o te tai manuka was chosen to complement the overall colour green theme of the development.
20. Continuity of theme: As the Park Green development requires a large number of new roads to be named across the various stages, Hugh Green Group Limited (the current landowners) see value in having a consistent naming theme for the subdivision and are planning to apply for future road naming within the development following the same green theme - with preferred names such as Clover, Juniper, Willow, Opal, and Olive, as well as continuing their collaborations with mana whenua to provide Te Reo names of the same theme.
21. FRL have provided additional commentary about the colour green theme:
“The colour green speaks to revival and health. In colour psychology, green is thought to help balance emotions and promote a sense of calm and clarity. Green is the colour you notice the most in our natural habitat – trees, grass and forests. It is the colour of springtime, regeneration. Blue-green shades are reflected in the many colours of water - sea, lakes, estuaries and waterways.
This makes the colour green very appropriate given the location of Park Green in its upper harbour setting with significant coastal edges, freshwater streams and large areas of wetlands. The location and topography offer good views to the surrounding immediate and wider context, including the Hunua Ranges, Bombay hills and Pukekohe Hill. The long harbour edge connects to nature throughout, while providing recreational opportunities in both the terrestrial and marine environments.”
22. In addition, some of the names proposed by CCL, specifically ‘Emerald’ for Road 7 and ‘Shamrock’ in the alternative name option pool, reflect both the colour green theme and also the Irish heritage of the late Hugh Green, founder of Hugh Green Limited (the landowner). Similar Irish themed names have already been approved by the Papakura Local Board for new roads in the surrounding local area that were developed by Hugh Green Limited.
23. FRL application for Stage 1 at 200 Park Estate Road: the three new public road names proposed on behalf of the applicant by FRL, and the two new private road (COAL) names gifted by Ngāti Tamaoho are set out in the table below, as well as three alternative name options for the local board to choose from:
Stage 1 Road number |
Stage 1 by FRL Proposed names |
Meaning (as described by FRL for the public roads and Ngāti Tamaoho for the COALs) |
PUBLIC ROAD 12 |
Seafoam Road (applicant’s preference) |
Seafoam is a shade of green which has strong associations with nature and the environment. It is a subdued tone (a mix of green, blue and gray) that is easy on the eyes and very versatile. Pale greens like seafoam green are also thought to evoke youth and innocence. It is seen as the color of luck, freshness, and renewal. As it also contains blue, the color of the ocean & sky. Seafoam green can convey a sense of tranquility. |
PUBLIC ROAD 13 |
Aquamarine Road (applicant’s preference) |
Named after the mineral, aquamarine is a delicate mixture of green, cyan, and blue. It is renowned for its crystal blue colours and ocean-esque hues. It evokes beautiful, pristine beaches and, as a result, is popular in outdoor settings. Aquamarine is a soothing, calming, peaceful and fresh hue. |
PUBLIC ROAD 18 |
Chartreuse Road (applicant’s preference) |
Named for its resemblance to the French liqueur, chartreuse sits between yellow and green in the colour wheel. Chartreuse is a vivid color that combines the vitality of green with the energy and optimism of yellow. It is thus associated with healing, good health, and a healthy lifestyle. |
COAL 1 |
Rauriki Lane (gifted by Ngāti Tamaoho) |
A reference to the Tī rauriki (Cordyline pumilio), a dwarf type of cabbage tree that was commonly grown and harvested in this area. |
COAL 2 |
Tawake Lane (gifted by Ngāti Tamaoho) |
A reference to the Maire-tawake (Syzygium maire), a tree of the swampy forests that used to grow here. |
Stage 1 by FRL: Pool of Alternative Name options |
|
Turquoise Road
|
Positioned between blue and green in the color wheel, turquoise is a mixture of pale blue and green or blue with a small amount of yellow. Turquoise takes its name from the gemstone, which comes from the French word for Turkish. |
Erin Road
|
Erin is a colour which is halfway between green and spring green on the colour wheel. It is named after Erin, a poetic name for Ireland. One of the earliest known uses of the word "erin" to describe a colour appears in the poetry of Jane Johnston Schoolcraft (1800–1842). |
Kohepiro Lane |
A reference to Scandia rosifolia that used to grow locally – name provided by by Ngāti Tamaoho. |
24. CCL application for Stage 1A at 252 Park Estate Road: the two new public road names proposed by CCL are set out in the table below, as well as three alternative name options for the local board to choose from:
Stage 1A Road number |
Stage 1A by CCL Proposed names |
Meaning |
PUBLIC ROAD 7 |
Emerald Avenue |
A colour of green, following the colour green theme – see the ‘Theme’ paragraphs above for further details. |
PUBLIC ROAD 8 |
Evergreen Parade |
A colour of green, following the colour green theme – see the ‘Theme’ paragraphs above for further details. |
Alternative Options: |
Ivy Avenue Shamrock Road Wintergarden Drive |
Chosen to reflect the colour green theme – see the ‘Theme’ paragraphs above for further details. |
25. Assessment: All the name options listed in the tables above have been assessed by the Council’s Subdivision Specialist team to ensure that they meet both the Guidelines and the Standards in respect of road naming. The technical standards are considered to have been met and duplicate names are not located in any close proximity. It is therefore for the local board to decide upon the suitability of the names within the local context and in accordance with the delegation.
26. Community Consultation: As Park Green is a greenfield development of over 100 ha of vacant land without an established community, consultation with the community has not been considered necessary.
27. Confirmation: Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable for use at this location.
28. Road Type: The listed road types are acceptable for the new roads that are to be named, suiting their form and layout.
29. Consultation: Mana whenua were consulted in line with the processes and requirements described in the Guidelines. Additional commentary is provided in the Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori section that follows.
Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
30. 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.
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
31. The decision sought for this report has no identified impacts on other parts of the Council group. The views of Council controlled organisations were not required for the preparation of the report’s advice.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
32. The decision sought for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate local impact beyond those outlined in this report.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
33. To aid local board decision making, the Guidelines include an objective of recognising cultural and ancestral linkages to areas of land through engagement with mana whenua, particularly through the resource consent approval process, and the allocation of road names where appropriate. The Guidelines identify the process that enables mana whenua the opportunity to provide feedback on all road naming applications and in this instance, the process has been adhered to.
34. Both FRL and CCL have undertaken consultation with mana whenua as detailed below. Consultation has been undertaken for both the specific roads detailed in this report, but also for the wider Park Green development as a whole, as part of an ongoing relationship with mana whenua through the development and resource consenting process.
35. Hugh Green Limited (the current landowners of the development) have come to a general arrangement with mana whenua in terms of the naming structure of the development, wherein Hugh Green Limited and its development partners (including FRL and CCL) will arrange for the naming of the public roads, but mana whenua will name the COALs, physical features and walking tracks proposed as part of the development as they see fit. All names will follow the colour green theme.
36. This arrangement suits all parties involved in the road naming process and limits the pressure on mana whenua resources to provide names, due to the sheer volume of new road names required across the Park Green development as a whole.
FRL application for Stage 1 at 200 Park Estate Road
37. Ngāti Tamaoho have gifted a number of traditional plant species names to be used in the Park Green development that were known to grow in the Park Green area of land.
38. On 16th April 2021 FRL met with Ngāti Tamaoho Trust for a half day workshop to learn about Te Rohe O Ngāti Tamaoho, their vision and mission.
39. Following the workshop, Ngāti Tamaoho Trust were approached to provide names for the commonly owned access lots under Stage 1, based on their local knowledge and connection to the whenua. Name options were kindly supplied by Ben Leonard Kairangahau - Research Historian, in keeping with the theme of 'Green'. Those names are set out in this report.
40. Subsequent approval was obtained from Ngāti Te Ata, who liked the ‘green theme’ approach for road naming and supported the names gifted by Ngāti Tamaoho.
CCL application for Stage 1A at 252 Park Estate Road
41. CCL have applied for road naming on behalf of Hugh Green Limited. As explained above, Hugh Green Limited, have discussed road naming for the Park Green development as a whole (amongst many other matters) with Ngāti Tamaoho and Ngāti Te Ata, who both identified their principal interests in the development through the area plan change and resource consent processes. These discussions and relationships have been ongoing throughout the development and consenting stages.
42. The Stage 1A names are for public roads and therefore, in line with the consultation and arrangement with mana whenua, general green colour theme names have been proposed by CCL in order to reserve Te Reo Māori names for elsewhere in the development.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
43. The road naming process does not raise any financial implications for the Council.
44. The applicant has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed accordingly once approval is obtained for the new road names.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
45. 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
46. 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.

Rescind an approved road name in order to remove a duplicate name for one new public road created by way of subdivisions at 29-40 Hayfield Way and 40 Oakland Road, Hingaia
File No.: CP2021/07125
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek approval from the Papakura Local Board to rescind resolution PKK/2018/79 for ‘Vespa Road’, as the public road that this name pertains to has inadvertently been named twice through road extensions by two separate developers. All other road names approved under this resolution will remain unchanged.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. Extensive new subdivisions in the Hingaia area have resulted in one new stretch of public road being named twice through different road extensions over time, completed by different developers.
3. ‘Vespa Road’ was approved in 2018 under resolution PKK/2018/79 and ‘Pātakatuna Drive’ was approved in 2021 under resolution PPK/2021/51, both for the same stretch of new public road. This occurred because two sections of the road constructed at different times were connected to form one single stretch of road.
4. The consensus amongst the parties involved (Council and the developers) is that Pātakatuna Drive should be retained, as this name has been suggested by Ngāti Tamaoho. Further, Pātakatuna Drive was approved for the entire length of the public road under resolution PPK/2021/51, whereas ‘Vespa Road’ was only approved for the small first section of the road as part of an earlier development stage.
5. Vespa Road is currently not showing on the council’s GIS maps and no existing or new dwellings are using this road name for their address, as the surrounding land has not been fully developed yet. Therefore, no persons will be affected by the proposed rescind.
6. Rescinding resolution PKK/2018/79 for Vespa Road will resolve this name duplication issue, and council records will be updated to show Pātakatuna Drive as the single approved name for this stretch of public road. All other road names approved under resolution PKK/2018/79 will remain unchanged.
7. No new road name approvals are required from the Papakura Local Board as the resolution PPK/2021/51 to approve the name ‘Pātakatuna Drive’ will still stand.
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) rescind resolution PKK/2018/79 for the road name ‘Vespa Road’, so that Pātakatuna Drive will be the only name for this road (Pātakatuna Drive is already approved under resolution PPK/2021/51).
Horopaki
Context
8. The names Vespa Road and Pātakatuna Drive have been approved for the same stretch of public road in Hingaia. It is therefore proposed to rescind resolution PKK/2018/79 for the name ‘Vespa Road’, so that Pātakatuna Drive will be the only name for this road. Pātakatuna Drive is already approved under resolution PPK/2021/51.
9. Attachment A shows the map of the road, and the extent of the approved names highlighted.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
10. The purpose of this report is to correct the issue of duplicate names being approved for a single stretch of public road.
11. No new road name approvals are required from the local board, as the name ‘Pātakatuna Drive’ approved under resolution PPK/2021/51 still stands.
12. Attached to this report is a plan that shows the duplication issue.
13. The consensus amongst the parties involved (Council and the developers) is that Pātakatuna Drive should be retained, as this name has been suggested by Ngāti Tamaoho. Further, Pātakatuna Drive was approved for the entire length of the public road under resolution PPK/2021/51, whereas ‘Vespa Road’ was only approved for the small first section of the road as part of an earlier development stage.
14. Rescinding resolution PKK/2018/79 for Vespa Road will resolve the name duplication issue, and council records will be updated to show Pātakatuna Drive as the single approved name for this stretch of public road. All other road names approved under resolution PKK/2018/79 will remain unchanged.
Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
15. 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 developments.

Council group impacts and views
16. The information contained in this report has no identified impacts on other parts of the council group. The views of Council controlled organisations were not required for the preparation of the report’s advice.

Local impacts and local board views
17. The information contained in this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate local impact beyond those outlined in this report.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
18. Pātakatuna Drive was originally suggested by Ngāti Tamaoho, as per resolution PPK/2021/51, and this name will be retained.
19. Mana whenua consultation was undertaken as part of the original road name approvals. No new work or consultation is required as the names are contained within the same development and same geographical area, only the internal road layouts have changed.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
20. The road naming process does not raise any financial implications for the council.
21. The applicant has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed for the road names.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
22. There are no significant risks to the council as road naming is a routine part of the subdivision development process. The names have already been approved by the local board and this report seeks to correct a duplication error.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
23. Approved road names and locations 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.
24. Council’s Subdivision Specialist Team will ensure that LINZ are informed of the road name updates.

Approval of the 2021/2022 Papakura Local Board Customer and Community Services work programme
File No.: CP2021/07827
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To approve the 2021/2022 Papakura 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 Papakura 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 Papakura 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.
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) approve the 2021/2022 Customer and Community Services work programme and associated budget and approve, in principle, the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 work programmes (Attachment A to the agenda report).
b) approve the Risk Adjusted Programme projects identified in the 2021/2022 Customer and Community Services work programme (Attachment A to the agenda report).
c) note that funding for the Coastal Renewals, Landslide Prevention, Local Parks and Sports Field Development and the Natural Environment Targeted Rate budgets are subject to approval by the relevant Governing Body committee.
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 – a vibrant and prosperous local economy
· Outcome 2 – a community enriched by its diversity, where people feel connected and lead active, healthy lives
· Outcome 4 – a treasured environment and heritage
· Outcome 5 – a partnership with Māori that creates a Papakura where Māori identity, culture and aspirations are embraced
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 Papakura 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 |

The council group supports te reo Māori 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 Papakura Local Board work programme includes 34 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 |

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

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.

Local impacts and local board views
58. Delivery of the work programme is the local board’s implementation of outcomes and objectives in the Papakura 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, 26.8 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.

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.

10. The proposed work programme responds to the outcomes and objectives identified in the Papakura Local Board Plan 2020. The specific objectives reflected in the work programme are:
· more people enjoy the environment in and around our local parks
· more people enjoy the environment in and around our harbour and streams
· the quality of our air and water is improved
· Papakura has successful programmes to help people reduce, reuse, and recycle.
11. The following adopted strategies and plans also guided the development of the work programme:
· National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management
· Waste Management and Minimisation Plan.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
12. 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 Papakura Local Board Plan 2020 environmental objectives, as detailed above.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Budgets for years two and three are subject to change, as the programmes are further refined or if local board priorities shift.
17. 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.
Te Koiwi Pond enhancement - $32,700
18. The board has indicated that it would like to support a new programme in the 2021/2022 financial year to fund an enhancement programme at Te Koiwi Pond. Staff recommend that the board allocate $32,700 to this programme in the 2021/2022 financial year.
19. Year one of this programme will involve a spotlight night survey of eels in the pond. This could be undertaken by Papakura Marae representatives. Year one will also involve koi carp removal, weeding around the ponds, pruning of exotic trees, and planting of native species to provide more shade for eels.
20. Years two and three of this programme will involve further weeding and planting, the removal of the downstream fish barrier, and educational signage. Further actions will be dependent on consultation with the marae and the outcomes from year one.
21. Approval in principle is also sought for $14,200 towards this programme in 2022/2023 and $11,200 in 2023/2024.
Papakura waste minimisation - $10,000
22. The board has indicated that it would like to continue supporting a community-based waste awareness and minimisation programme in the 2021/2022 financial year. This will be the fourth year of board support for this programme to which the board allocated $10,000 towards in the 2020/2021 financial year.
23. This programme supports Papakura residents to reduce their waste and live sustainably. Funding for the 2021/2022 financial year will support the delivery of workshops held within the Papakura community to empower residents to reduce their waste. Workshops provide practical skills for making a range of re-usable environmentally friendly products. Workshops will also provide education and information about living a waste-free lifestyle.
24. Approval in principle is also sought for $10,000 towards this programme in 2022/2023 and 2023/2024.
Papakura Stream landowner engagement programme - $20,500
25. The board has indicated that 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 $20,500 towards the continuation of this programme in 2021/2022.
26. 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.
27. An additional $5,900 extra is being sought from the Papakura Local Board to support weed control and planting maintenance in Papakura Stream Esplanade Reserve. This maintenance is required for plantings undertaken between 2018 and 2020 to ensure the plants become well established on the site.
28. In the 2020/2021 financial year, joint 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. Additional funding 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.
29. 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.
Wai Care Papakura - $20,000
30. The board has indicated that it would like to continue supporting a Wai Care schools programme in the 2021/2022 financial year. The board has supported this programme since 2017 and allocated $20,000 towards this initiative in the 2020/2021 financial year. Staff recommend that the board allocate $20,000 towards the continuation of this programme in 2021/2022.
31. Funding for the 2021/2022 financial year will enable education and empowerment of school students to undertake stream and marine health investigations and actions in their schools and local communities. This will include experiential education sessions to connect students with the local environment, and professional development for teachers to support student learning.
32. Facilitation of student-led inquiry and citizen science methods will also be provided to understand local issues. Funding will support the engagement of at least four Papakura schools to participate in this programme.
33. Approval in principle is also sought for $32,000 towards this programme in 2022/2023 and 2023/2024. Years two and three will focus on maintaining and expanding education, monitoring and plantings for schools and waterways in Papakura.
Manukau Harbour Forum – $7,400
34. 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.
35. 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.
36. 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 projects ($15,000)
· funding to develop a communications plan for the Manukau Harbour Forum ($6,600).
37. Approval in principle is also sought for $8,000 towards this programme from each member local board in both 2022/2023 and 2023/2024.

Local impacts and local board views
44. The programmes proposed for inclusion in the board’s Infrastructure and Environmental Services work programme will have positive environmental outcomes across the Papakura Local Board area. Particular focus areas for the 2021/2022 work programme include Te Koiwi Park and along the Papakura Stream.
45. The programmes noted above align with the local board plan outcome ‘a treasured environment and heritage’. 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 outcome description |
Te Koiwi Pond enhancement |
Marae development and kaitiakitanga |
This programme is designed to progress desired outcomes identified by Papakura Marae, specifically creating a habitat at Te Koiwi Pond that is suitable for eels. This programme will endeavour to progress this vision. Upon budget approval, staff will engage with mana whenua representatives to consult on the programme. |
Papakura waste minimisation |
Kaitiakitanga |
The wider Māori community will be engaged indirectly through participation in workshops. |
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. |
Wai Care Papakura |
Te reo Māori, kaitiakitanga, and realising rangatahi potential |
No direct engagement with mana whenua will occur for this programme, however through working through schools the programme will engage with the wider Māori community. |
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. |
50. 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
51. The proposed environment work programme for 2021/2022 totals to $90,600 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.
52. 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
53. 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.
54. 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.
55. 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.
56. 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.
57. 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 |
Te Koiwi Pond enhancement |
There is a risk of no contractor availability to carry out koi carp removal, weeding and planting. |
Staff will engage with potential contractors early. |
Low |
There is a health and safety risk of working around a stormwater pond. |
Staff will ensure that an in-depth health and safety plan is followed when contractors or the community are working around the pond. |
Low
|
|
If eels are already present there is a risk in disturbing them during koi carp removal. |
To mitigate this staff will ensure experienced contractors are procured. |
Low |
|
Papakura waste minimisation |
There is a risk of low levels of community participation in workshops. |
Staff will work through a well-established community organisation for whom workshops have been well attended in the past. |
Low |
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 |
Wai Care Papakura |
A lack of school engagement may mean the programme is not delivered. |
Staff will work through existing connections with schools to mitigate this. |
Low |
There is a risk that staff will be unable to find a suitable contractor to deliver the schools engagement. |
A contractor has been identified 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
|
58. 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
59. 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.
60. Where the work programme identifies further decisions and milestones for each activity, these will be brought to the local board when appropriate.

· Economic
· Community Participation
· Connectivity and Transport
· Town Centre planning
· Sports, Arts and Culture.
13. The Papakura Local Board is being asked to allocate $90,000 from its locally driven initiatives budget. The funding allocation will enable the continuation of the following activities in order to help support the delivery of local economic outcomes:

Local board views on a Notice of Requirement for a new secondary school and early childhood education centre at Jesmond Road, Drury West
File No.: CP2021/07571
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To invite the Papakura Local Board’s views on a Notice of Requirement (NoR) by the Minister of Education for a new secondary school (years 7-13) and early childhood education centre (ECE) at 401 Jesmond Road and part of 281 and part of 341 Jesmond Road.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. Decision-makers on a Notice of Requirement to the Auckland Unitary Plan must consider local boards’ views on the Notice of Requirement if the relevant local boards choose to provide their views.
3. Each local board has a responsibility to communicate the interests and preferences of people in its area on Auckland Council policy documents, including NoRs. A local board can present local views and preferences when expressed by the whole local board.[1]
4. The Minister of Education [MoE], as the Requiring Authority [RA], has served a notice of requirement [NoR] on Auckland Council [the council] for a designation at 401 Jesmond Road and part of 281 and part of 341 Jesmond Road, Drury West. The NoR seeks a designation for educational purposes, including a secondary school and early childhood education centre at this address.
5. The NoR was notified on 25 March 2021 and submissions closed on 27 April 2021. Three submissions were received including responses from NZ Transport Agency [NZTA] and Auckland Transport [AT]. NZTA is neutral to the NoR. AT support or support in part the NoR and suggest additional conditions. The other submission is from the owner of 341 Jesmond Rd who opposes the NoR on the grounds of the proposed access arrangements.
6. This report is the mechanism for the local board to resolve and provide its views on the NoR. Staff do not recommend what view the local board should convey.
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) provide local board views on the Notice of Requirement for a new secondary school and early childhood education centre at 401 Jesmond Road and part of 281 and part of 341 Jesmond Road, Drury West.
b) appoint a local board member to speak to the local board views at a hearing [if one is held] on the Notice of Requirement.
c) delegate authority to the chairperson of Papakura Local Board to make a replacement appointment in the event the local board member appointed in resolution b) is unable to attend the private plan change hearing [if one is held].
Horopaki
Context
Decision-making authority
7. Each local board is responsible for communicating the interests and preferences of people in its area regarding the content of Auckland Council’s strategies, policies, plans, and bylaws. Local boards provide their views on the content of these documents. Decision-makers must consider local boards’ views when deciding the content of these policy documents.[2]
8. The Notice of Requirement is intended to add a new designation to the Auckland Unitary Plan [AUP (OP)]. Local boards must have the opportunity to provide their views where any process proposes a change to the Auckland Unitary Plan.
9. If the local board chooses to provide its views, the planner includes those views in the [s42a] hearing report. Local board views are included in the analysis of the NoR, along with all submissions.
10. If appointed by resolution, local board members may present the local board’s views at the hearing [if one is held] to commissioners, who will make a recommendation on the NoR.
11. Following receipt of the recommendation, the Requiring Authority would be required to advise the council, within 30 working days, whether they accept or reject the recommendation in whole or in part. Once the council has received a decision from the Requiring Authority, submitters will be advised and are then given an opportunity to lodge an appeal with the Environment Court if they are not satisfied with the outcome. Auckland Council will also have the opportunity at this stage to appeal the decision.
12. This report provides an overview of the NoR and a summary of the key themes in submissions.
13. The report does not recommend what views the local board should convey. Staff cannot advise the local board as to what its views should be, and then evaluate those views.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
Notice of Requirement overview
14. This NoR was lodged by the Minister of Education and is for a new secondary school and early childhood education centre at 401 Jesmond Road and part of 281 and part of 341 Jesmond Road, Drury West.
15. The general locality of the site is shown in Figure 1 below, with the land to be designated shown in bold. The site comprises approximately 8.42 ha in area, is rectangular in shape and has a road frontage onto Jesmond Road of 460 metres.
16. The sites at 401 and part of 281 Jesmond Road [shown as areas A and B in Figure 2 below] are owned by the Crown and the MoE are currently negotiating with the owners of 341 Jesmond Road for the acquisition of part of 381 Jesmond Road [shown as Area C below].
Figure 1: General location of the site at Jesmond Road and surrounding area – the area to be designated is shown in bold
Figure 2 – Aerial photograph of subject site [taken from AEE]
17. The school site is located approximately 2km from the existing Drury township at the northern end of Jesmond Road. The existing sites [A and B] are used for rural lifestyle purposes. There are two existing dwellings [on A and B] along with some horticultural use at the rear of site A [as shown in Figure 2 above]. Area C is part of a right of way which provides access to private property at 341 Jesmond Road. The surrounding land uses are mainly rural and rural-residential in nature. However, the area is expected to experience significant urban growth in the short to medium term future given the rezoning and recent development in the area, particularly to the north-east of the school site.
18. Under
the AUP:OP the site is zoned Mixed Housing Urban within the Drury 1 precinct
[as shown on Figure 1 and 3]. The land to the north and east of the site
is currently being developed to enable the construction of up to 1300 dwellings
[Auranga A] with a mix of housing types including single dwellings, terraced housing
and apartment buildings, along with local commercial centres. The land on the
western side of Jesmond Road and to the south of the Drury 1 Precinct and
Auranga B1 is zoned Future Urban [See Figure 3 below].
Figure 3 Proposed secondary school and ECE site [AUP : OP]
19. There is some uncertainty around the future land use and transport environment surrounding the site. The reason for this is that there is no approved plan change for the land zoned Future Urban to the west and south of the site [see figure 3 above].
20. As set out in the Transport Assessment lodged with the NOR AT are yet to confirm key elements of the future transport network in this area. However, it is known that the Auranga developer proposes to develop walking and cycling facilities in the area. Jesmond Road is also likely to be upgraded in the future, as described in NoR 2, lodged within a package of 5 x Drury Arterial NoRs in January 2021 by AT and NZTA. The Requiring Authority has advised that the development of the school will not occur until urban development in the area generates sufficient demand.
21. The site is subject to some contaminated land [asbestos] at 281 Jesmond Rd and some low-risk contaminants at 401 Jesmond Road. The land and soil disturbance activities and change in land use associated with the proposed development will require resource consents at a later stage.
22. The Minister of Education included technical reports that evaluate traffic, engineering [geotechnical] and contamination effects with their application. The reports and other application details are available from council’s website at https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/plans-projects-policies-reports-bylaws/our-plans-strategies/unitary-plan/auckland-unitary-plan-modifications/Pages/details.aspx?UnitaryPlanId=103
23. Council’s planner and other experts, will evaluate and report on:
· technical reports, including a Transport Assessment, a geotechnical assessment and a site investigation on contaminated land, supplied by the applicant
· submissions received
· views and preferences of the local board if the local board passes a resolution.
24. The NoR was notified on 25 March 2021 and submissions closed on 27 April 2021.
Submissions received
25. Submissions
were made by three people/organizations as set out in Table 1 below

26. AT supported the NOR subject to matters in their submission being addressed through conditions on the designation. AT’s conditions relate to vehicle access, the upgrade of Jesmond Road, amendments to the school travel plan including the need to address effects from overspill parking requirements, onsite pick-up and drop-off, staging information and suggested changes to proposed conditions on the designation.
27. NZTA is neutral to the NoR but raised concerns about the safety of the intersection at SH22/Jesmond Road. The NoR does not provide for the upgrade of this intersection but recognizes the intersection’s deficiencies. NZTA note that this intersection is required to be upgraded prior to the establishment of the school. A condition on the Establishment Outline Plan refers to consultation with NZTA over this matter to establish a solution which ensures the ongoing safety of the network.
28. MoE, AT and NZTA have been discussing these matters and suggested conditions. Continued engagement with all parties is proceeding at the time of writing this report.
29. Elly Pan and Benjamin Ban Chong Bong oppose the NoR on the grounds of the impact, in terms of access, on their land at 341 Jesmond Road. The submitters raise concerns about the provision of suitable access to their land in terms of accommodating any future development. MoE have held discussions with the submitters with regard to access and integration with the education facilities in relation to their land. However, at the time of writing, these discussions have not been finalised.
30. Information on individual submissions and the summary of all decisions requested by submitters, will be reported in the hearing report.

Climate impact statement
31. The council’s climate goals as set out in Te Taruke-a-Tawhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan are:
· to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and
· to prepare the region for the adverse impacts of climate change.
32. The local board could consider in formulating its view if the NoR:
· will reduce, increase or have no effect on Auckland’s overall greenhouse gas emissions (e.g. does it encourage car dependency, enhance connections to public transit, walking and cycling or support quality compact urban form)
· prepare the region for the adverse impacts of climate change. That is, does the NoR elevate or alleviate climate risks (e.g. flooding, coastal and storm inundation, urban heat effect, stress on infrastructure).

Local impacts and local board views
35. The Notice of Requirement falls within the Franklin Local Board area however, it is noted that Papakura Local Board are also interested in the NoR given their involvement with the Auranga development to the north, east and the south of the proposed school site. Therefore, the Papakura Local Board’s views are also being sought at this time.
36. Factors the local board may wish to consider in formulating its view:
· interests and preferences of people in the local board area
· well-being of communities within the local board area
· local board documents, such as local board plan, local board agreement responsibilities and operation of the local board.
37. The MoE have indicated that they engaged with the local board initially in October and November 2018, with more recent correspondence in November 2020 prior to lodgement. Feedback at that stage was informal; restrictions on delegations prevent that informal feedback from being the views of the local board.[3].
This report is the mechanism for obtaining formal local board views. The decision-maker will consider local board views, if provided, when deciding on the NoR.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
38. If the local board chooses to provide its views on the NoR, it includes the opportunity to comment on matters that may be of interest or importance to Māori people, well-being of Māori communities or Te Ao Māori (Māori world view). In the 2018 census results, 15,438 residents in the local board area identify as Māori.
39. MoE have engaged with local iwi to help identify key cultural issues associated with the project and address any potential effects this may raise. MoE have undertaken engagement with mana whenua groups including the following: - Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Tamaoho, Ngāti Te Ata, Te Akitai Waiohua, Te Ahiwaru Waiohua and Waikato Tainui.Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Ngāti Maru, Ngāti Tamaoho, Ngāti Te Ata, Te Akitai Waiohua, Te Ahiwaru Waiohua and Waikato Tainui.
40. One iwi [Ngāti Tamaoho] requested that they be kept informed of progress and “to have the opportunity to have input into detail design but no further engagement is required at this time”. Such matters will be addressed through the outline plan phase of the project as part of the detailed design and project construction. Continued engagement with iwi to allow early input will occur as design detail progresses.

File No.: CP2021/07880
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To invite the Papakura Local Board’s views on five Notices of Requirement (NoRs) lodged by Supporting Growth Alliance (on behalf of Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and Auckland Transport) for the Drury Arterial Network. The NoRs seek to designate land for future strategic transport corridors within Drury and Opāheke.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. Decision-makers on a Notice of Requirement to the Auckland Unitary Plan must consider local boards’ views on the Notice of Requirement, if the relevant local boards choose to provide their views.
3. Each local board has a responsibility to communicate the interests and preferences of people in its area on Auckland Council policy documents, including NoRs. A local board can present local views and preferences when expressed by the whole local board. [5]
4. Supporting Growth Alliance, on behalf of Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and Auckland Transport, has served five Notices of Requirement (NoRs) on Auckland Council for the Drury Arterial Network. The NoRs seek to designate land for future strategic transport corridors within Drury and Opāheke. The NoRs comprise an alteration to Designation 6707 State Highway 22 and four new designations.
5. The NoRs were publicly notified on 22 April 2021 and submissions closed on 21 May 2021. 76 submissions were received across the five NoRs, including from landowners, central government entities and utility operators. The key themes arising from submissions on the NoRs focused on their spatial extent, alignment and design elements, including proposed intersection designs and their interface with adjoining sites. Submitters also highlighted transport and noise effects as key matters of concern, particularly vehicle access restrictions which would be imposed upon completion of the proposed roading projects.
6. This report is the mechanism for the local board to resolve and provide its views on the NoR. Staff do not recommend a view the local board should convey.
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) provide local board views on the Notices of Requirement for the Drury Arterial Network, being an alteration to Designation 6707 and four new designations
b) appoint a local board member to speak to the local board views at a hearing on the Notices of Requirement
c) delegate authority to the chairperson of Papakura Local Board to make a replacement appointment in the event the local board member appointed in resolution b) is unable to attend the hearing on the Notices of Requirement.

Context
7. Each local board is responsible for communicating the interests and preferences of people in its area regarding the content of Auckland Council’s strategies, policies, plans, and bylaws. Local boards provide their views on the content of these documents. Decision-makers must consider local boards’ views when deciding the content of these policy documents. [6]
8. The NoRs are intended to alter Designation 6707 – State Highway 22 (sought by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency) and add four new designations (sought by Auckland Transport) to the Auckland Unitary Plan. Local boards must have the opportunity to provide their views where any process proposes a change to the Auckland Unitary Plan.
9. If the local board chooses to provide its views, the planners include those views in the s42a hearing report. Local board views are included in the analysis of the NoRs, along with all submissions.
10. If appointed by resolution, local board members may present the local board’s views at the hearing to commissioners, who will make a recommendation on the NoRs.
11. Following receipt of the recommendation, the Requiring Authority would be required to advise the council, within 30 working days, whether they accept or reject the recommendation in whole or in part. Once the council has received a decision from the Requiring Authority, submitters will be advised and are then given an opportunity to lodge an appeal with the Environment Court if they are not satisfied with the outcome. Auckland Council will also have the opportunity at this stage to appeal the decision.
12. This report provides an overview of the NoRs and a summary of the key themes raised in submissions.
13. The report does not recommend what views the local board should convey. Staff cannot advise the local board as to what its views should be, and then evaluate those views.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
25. The council’s climate goals as set out in Te Taruke-a-Tawhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan are:
· to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and
· to prepare the region for the adverse impacts of climate change.
26. The local board could consider if the NoRs:
· will reduce, increase or have no effect on Auckland’s overall greenhouse gas emissions (e.g. does it encourage car dependency, enhance connections to public transit, walking and cycling or support quality compact urban form)
· prepare the region for the adverse impacts of climate change. That is, do the NoRs elevate or alleviate climate risks (e.g. flooding, coastal and storm inundation, urban heat effect, stress on infrastructure).

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
13. The proposed plan change relates to 6.1ha of land held in four titles at 470 and 476 Great South Road and 2 and 8 Gatland Road, Papakura. The plan change land (the site) is situated between the Papakura and Drury centres, located approximately 3km south of the Papakura Metropolitan Centre. The site is also located 2km from motorway interchanges at Papakura and Drury, and within 2.5km of the Papakura Train Station (refer to Figure 1 over page).
14. The site is currently primarily held in pasture and accommodates three residential dwellings on three of the four land holdings. There are also a number of other buildings relating to the current pastoral use of the land. A floodplain runs through the middle of the site from west to east and is subject to an existing covenant on the certificate of title restricting buildings within it. A permanent stream also runs through the site from west to east. This has been piped to the stormwater pond.
15. The site is contiguous to the urban area of Papakura with low density residential development adjoining to the north, west and south. The land to the east is zoned Future Urban zone and is predominantly in pasture.
16. Within the Auckland Unitary Plan (‘AUP’), the plan change land is zoned Future Urban Zone (refer to Figure 2 below), and is subject to the following controls:
a) Controls: Macroinvertebrate Community Index – Rural and Urban
b) Controls: Arterial Roads[9]
Figure 1: Site context
Figure 2: Existing zoning under Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part)
17. The Auckland Plan seeks that most of Auckland's anticipated population and dwelling growth over the next 30 years be within the existing urban area. The remaining development is anticipated to occur in future urban areas and in rural areas. The AUP identifies approximately 15,000 hectares of rural land for future urbanisation with the potential to accommodate approximately 137,000 dwellings and 67,000 jobs.
18. The Future Urban Land Supply Strategy 2017 (‘FULSS’), sets out the sequencing of future urban land for development within Auckland, and identifies the plan change land and surrounding Drury and Opāheke area east of SH1 as being development ready by between 2028-2032. The reasons provided in support of this timeframe relate to the bulk infrastructure required to service the wider area, including augmenting the Southern and Southwestern wastewater interceptors, and the resolution of complex flooding issues in Opāheke.
19. The Drury-Opāheke Structure Plan 2019 (‘structure plan’) outlines how growth anticipated within this area can be achieved by indicating the location of future land use zonings, infrastructure and constraints within Drury and Opāheke. This includes the location of residential areas, town centres, business areas and critical infrastructure amongst other elements. The land subject to this private plan change request is identified as being Mixed Housing Urban with an area of Business – Neighbourhood centre in the south west corner.
20. Through Te Tupu Ngātahi / Supporting Growth Alliance (‘SGA’), Auckland Transport and Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency have identified the preferred transport network and interventions required to support growth in the south. Of particular relevance to this plan change request are the following projects identified by SGA:
A new train station (Drury Central) on the eastern side of SH1;
Electrification of the railway track between Papakura and Pukekohe;
Great South Road developed as a Frequent Transit Network bus route
21. In January 2020, central government announced the New Zealand Upgrade Programme (‘NZUP’), which allocated funding to transport infrastructure within Drury-Opāheke, amongst other projects. This included:
Fully funding the two new railway stations in Drury Central and Drury West, along with ‘park and ride’ facilities, with construction of the stations commencing in 2023;
Fully funding the electrification of the railway track from Papakura to Pukekohe, with construction commencing late 2020; and
State Highway 1 Papakura to Drury improvements, including three-laneing the state highway and upgrading the Drury interchange, to be completed by 2025.
22. In addition to the proposed plan change, Council is also processing several other proposed plan changes in the surrounding area which seek to live zone the Future Urban zone land out of sequence with the FULSS and the structure plan. The closest of these to the subject plan change site is PPC52 – 520 Great South Road, Papakura. This seeks to rezone 4.63ha into Mixed Housing Urban zone and to accommodate approximately 113 dwellings.
Private plan change content
23. The plan change request is set out in Attachment A. The proposed plan change seeks to rezone 6.1ha of land at 470 and 476 Great South Road and 2 and 8 Gatland Road from Future Urban Zone to Residential – Mixed Housing Urban Zone and Business Neighbourhood Centre zone in the Auckland Unitary Plan Operative in Part 2016. A precinct is also sought to manage the roading layout and design and to introduce stormwater management provisions. No further overlays or controls are sought. The zoning sought by the plan change is shown in Figure 3 on the following page.
24. The objective of the plan change, as stated by the applicant is to:
apply an urban residential zoning and a business neighbourhood centre zone to 6.1ha of Future Urban zoned [land] in Papakura, consistent with the Council’s Drury-Opāheke Structure Plan.[10]
Figure 3: Proposed zoning sought under plan change request
25. The applicant has provided the following information to support the plan change request:
· Private plan change request, including drafted precinct provisions
· Section 32 evaluation report
· Specialist reports:
o Urban design report
o Transport assessment
o Stormwater management plan
o Engineering and infrastructure report
o Regional Policy Statement objectives and policies assessment.

Climate impact statement
27. No submissions specifically relate to climate change impacts. Auckland Transport’s submission raises concerns on the early ‘release’ of Future Urban land for development ahead of the FULSS sequencing of 2028-2032 for this area. If PC58 was approved, the early release of land compared with the FULSS would enable development ahead of the planned public transport network being constructed (including a FTN on Great South Road) and therefore result in higher reliance on private vehicles in the interim.
28. The council’s climate goals as set out in Te Taruke-a-Tawhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan are:
· to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and
· to prepare the region for the adverse impacts of climate change.
29. The local board could consider if the private plan change:
· will reduce, increase or have no effect on Auckland’s overall greenhouse gas emissions (e.g., does it encourage car dependency, enhance connections to public transit, walking and cycling or support quality compact urban form)
· prepare the region for the adverse impacts of climate change. That is, does the proposed private plan change elevate or alleviate climate risks (e.g., flooding, coastal and storm inundation, urban heat effect, stress on infrastructure).
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
30. As referenced above, Auckland Transport have canvassed their views through a submission on the plan change. Auckland Transport’s concerns relate primarily to appropriate connectivity from the plan change area, including for active modes, into the local network and beyond and to the provision of an urban frontage (with footpaths, berms, street trees etc) is delivered and that road widening can be achieved in the future, rather than the effects of early urbanisation of the PC52 land on transport modal share. They will have the opportunity to speak to their views if required at a hearing.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
32. The private plan change request does not relate to public land for which the local board has decision-making powers.
33. This plan change relates to the Papakura Local Board area only.
34. Factors the local board may wish to consider in formulating its view:
· interests and preferences of people in local board area
· well-being of communities within the local board area
· local board documents, such as local board plan, local board agreement
· responsibilities and operation of the local board.
35. This report is the mechanism for obtaining formal local board views. The decision-maker will consider local board views, if provided, when deciding on the private plan change.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
37. The applicant has engaged with the following iwi groups who have expressed an interest in the proposal:
a) Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki
b) Ngāti Te Ata
c) Ngāti Tamaoho.
38. Iwi authorities were provided direct notice of the plan change upon notification. Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua submitted to adopt the plan change subject to their Cultural Values Assessment (CVA) being integrated into the overall design of the Plan change.
39. The hearing report will include analysis of Part 2 of the Resource Management Act which requires that all persons exercising RMA functions shall take into account the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi.[11]
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
40. There are no financial implications with the local board providing its views.
41. The local board is not exposed to any financial risk from providing its views.
42. The cost associated with processing this private plan change request is recoverable from the applicants. The impacts of development associated with the private plan change request on infrastructure (and any associated funding/financing issues) is a matter that will be addressed in the hearing report and at the hearing.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
43. There is a risk that the local board will be unable to provide its views and preferences on the plan change, if it doesn’t pass a resolution. This report provides:
· the mechanism for the Papakura Local Board to express its views and preferences
· the opportunity for a local board member to speak at a hearing.
44. If the local board chooses not to pass a resolution at this business meeting, these opportunities are forgone.
45. The power to provide local board views regarding the content of a private plan change cannot be delegated to individual local board member(s).[12] This report enables the whole local board to decide whether to provide its views and, if so, to determine what matters those views should include.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
47. The planner will advise the local board of the decision on the private plan change request by memorandum.

Feedback on Equity of Service Levels and Funding Proposals - Draft Report
File No.: CP2021/07922
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.
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura 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.

Delegation of feedback to be provided to the Establishment Unit Board of the City Centre to Māngere light rail project
File No.: CP2021/07882
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. 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.
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 Papakura Local Board:
a) 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.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
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
Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi
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.
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
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.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
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.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
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.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
25. 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 financial implications.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
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.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
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.
31. Delegated local board members will provide feedback on behalf of their local board by 2 September 2021.

Papakura Local Board feedback the New Zealand Infrastructure Commission’s He Tūāpapa ki te Ora: Infrastructure for a Better Future consultation document
File No.: CP2021/08826
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To endorse the Papakura Local Board’s feedback on the New Zealand Infrastructure Commission’s He Tūāpapa ki te Ora: Infrastructure for a Better Future consultation document.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The New Zealand Infrastructure Commission, Te Waihanga, is an autonomous Crown entity with an independent board, officially formed on 25 September 2019. The Commission seeks to lift infrastructure planning and delivery to a more strategic level and by doing so, improve New Zealanders’ long term economic performance and social wellbeing.
3. A key function of the Commission is to produce a 30-year infrastructure strategy to replace the government’s current 30-year plan. In addition, the Commission has progressively developed a pipeline of infrastructure projects which is published quarterly.
4. The Commission has released its consultation document He Tūāpapa ki te Ora, Infrastructure for a Better Future which sets out the approach that it proposes to take in developing its draft 30-year Infrastructure Strategy. This consultation is open for public submission from 12 May, with a closing date of 24 June.
5. Auckland Council has previously provided input to the Commission’s Asset Owner Survey, which was a key input in informing their draft 30-year Infrastructure Strategy. This work identified infrastructure challenges and opportunities across different sectors. Some of the key themes identified included funding and financing challenges, asset management and procurement, natural hazards and climate change, and the challenges of moving to a low emissions economy.
6. This is the main and final opportunity for Auckland Council to input into the development of the Commission’s draft 30-year Infrastructure Strategy. Following consultation, the Commission will finalise the 30-year Infrastructure Strategy and present it to the Minister for Infrastructure in September 2021.
7. The consultation document introduces the extent of New Zealand’s infrastructure problems and highlights the key issue of historic underinvestment in infrastructure. It recognises there is a significant gap between the infrastructure needed and what can be afforded. It notes there are limits to spending and that building all infrastructure desired by communities is not a viable option.
8. The document recognises that better use must be made of existing infrastructure and extending its life along with new funding and financing to provide access to more capital for new infrastructure projects. It recognises that productivity improvements in infrastructure planning, construction and management are also needed.
9. The document highlights other key challenges such as climate change, a growing and ageing population, housing affordability, increasing construction cost pressures, technological / digital change and equity.
10. The consultation document sets out a proposed vision that “infrastructure lays the foundation for the people, places and businesses of Aotearoa New Zealand to thrive for generations” and guiding decision-making principles. The document also proposes three focus areas where change is needed:
· Building a better future
This section talks about preparing infrastructure for climate change, transitioning to renewable energy, adapting to technological change, responding to demographic change, partnering with Māori and ensuring security and resilience of critical infrastructure.
· Enabling competitive cities and regions
This section talks about how infrastructure can contribute to the success of New Zealand cities by enabling more affordable housing, higher levels of productivity, improved inter-regional and international connectivity, better quality of life and urban environments that provide greater connectivity with employment, social services and recreation opportunities.
· Creating a better system
This section looks at how New Zealand’s current systems and processes for planning, determining, delivering and operating infrastructure are being challenged, and can be improved. Four categories are discussed – governance and institutions; legislation, regulation and planning; funding and financing; and procurement and delivery.
11. The consultation document also identifies five areas that have potential to make the biggest difference to New Zealand’s infrastructure system:
· Institutional and governance reform - mentions better integration and coordination between local and central government infrastructure functions.
· Getting the price right - mentions congestion pricing, water metering, waste disposal charges and including full cost of carbon in infrastructure business case appraisals.
· Supporting housing supply - mentions options such as consistent national planning rules, regional spatial planning, merging regional and district plans, creating targets for new housing development in cities, setting housing requirements through national direction.
· Supporting zero-carbon economy and preparing for climate change -mentions electrification of transport, greater use of public transport and active travel, improving energy efficiency of process heat, investment in energy sector to meet growing demand, and a planning system that enables infrastructure necessary for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
· A digital future - mentions updating national digital strategy, better data collection and transparency to understand existing infrastructure performance, costs and impacts, as well as future requirements.
12. The consultation document proposes re-drawing of local and regional authority boundaries (particularly due to expanding labour markets and the ability of local government to provide/fund/maintain/operate social and economic infrastructure).
13. The consultation document proposes changes to local and central government roles and responsibilities, with more responsibility for councils in some areas (e.g. suggestion that councils could toll roads to manage congestion) and less in other areas (e.g. central government would have more control of housing and urban development outcomes).
14. The council submission was circulated to all elected members during the week beginning 11 June 2021. Unfortunately, there will only be a short turnaround time for feedback as submissions close on 24 June 2021.
15. Local board feedback is required by 17 June 2021.
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) note the Papakura Local Board’s feedback on the New Zealand Infrastructure Commission’s He Tūāpapa ki te Ora: Infrastructure for a Better Future consultation document as attached to the agenda report.

Purpose of the report
1. To update the Papakura Local Board on Eke Panuku Development Auckland (Eke Panuku) activities within the local board area and the region, for the period from 1 September 2020 to 31 March 2021.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. This report is for information only and no decision-making is required.
3. This report covers our urban regeneration programme in relation to the local board area from 1 September 2020 to 31 March 2021.
4. It also includes information on property management, purchases and sales in relation to the local board area, which Eke Panuku undertakes on behalf of Auckland Council.

6. This report is a record of events for the Papakura Local Board area during the stated period.
7. Eke Panuku is supporting the urban regeneration in Papakura such as through the Eke Panuku and Auckland Transport - Transit Integrated Development Programme, a 20-year programme that will explore urban regeneration and mixed-use development opportunities at Papakura Train Station.
8. While Eke Panuku is an urban regeneration agency, its other function within the Papakura Local Board area is to manage properties owned by Auckland Council.
9. Eke Panuku currently manages 7 leases in the Papakura Local Board area.
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) receive the Eke Panuku Development Auckland six-monthly report to 31 March 2021.
Horopaki
Context
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.

Status |
2R Keeney Court, Papakura |
Eke Panuku on behalf of Auckland Council undertook public notification of the council's intention to revoke the reserve status in February 2021. Following completion of the reserve revocation process, the PACE Committee will consider if the proposed reserve revocation should be referred to the Department of Conservation for final approval. |
35 Coles Crescent, Papakura |
A council service centre – the site sale project has been initiated. Eke Panuku is in discussion with the local board about the retention of the playground, the Plunket rooms and the time capsule as well as the essential development outcomes to be achieved through the sale of this site. |
143 and 145 Keri Vista Rise |
The sites were purchased in 2008 by Papakura District Council for future road connection under the Public Works Act (1981). Auckland Transport confirmed that the properties are no longer required for any transport-related projects. Eke Panuku is currently undertaking the offer back to the previous owners in accordance with s40 Public Works Act 1981. Since December the two properties have been cleared of gorse and rubbish and put on a regular mowing schedule. Eke Panuku has also replaced several stormwater and wastewater lids. |

Climate impact statement
26. The Eke Panuku Priority Location programmes support the regeneration of existing town centres while also addressing climate mitigation and adaptation.
27. Mitigation of climate change involves reducing the carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. Our Priority Locations are transport-oriented communities that utilise existing infrastructure and transport links and we seek to make local walking and cycling safe and viable alternatives to the private vehicle. Eke Panuku has also adopted a Homestar-6 minimum standard to ensure we can reduce energy, water, and landfill waste. We are working to adopt similar standards for our public realm and commercial developments, whilst also taking guidance from precinct sustainability rating tools like Green Star Communities.
28. Adaptation to climate change involves planning for the changes to our climate and associated impacts that are already happening or are projected to happen, including sea-level rise, hotter temperatures, extreme weather events, flooding and droughts. Climate change is likely to subject the Papakura Local Board area to hotter temperatures and more frequent flooding and drought. Eke Panuku seeks to future-proof our communities by:
· specifying that infrastructure and developments are designed to cope with warmer temperatures and extreme weather events
· the use of green infrastructure and water sensitive design to increase flood resilience and provide ecological and biodiversity benefits
· the provision of increased shade and shelter for storm events and hotter days
· initiatives to build community resilience.
29. In October, the Eke Panuku executive team agreed to a work programme of priority actions to help Eke Panuku deliver on the council’s sustainable procurement objectives which Eke Panuku has adopted. Targeting these objectives will help further leverage the economic, social and environmental benefits of Eke Panuku urban regeneration projects and the products and services we procure as a business. Implementation of these priority projects has commenced which focus on embedding sustainable procurement into Eke Panuku procurement processes and systems, including the inclusion of climate considerations into procurements for capital works and renewals.
30. The Eke Panuku Climate Change Strategy was adopted by the Eke Panuku Board in November. The strategy guides how Eke Panuku will support the implementation of Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland's Climate Plan.

Council group impacts and views
31. Eke Panuku cannot achieve its vision alone. Our complex operating environment means we need the expertise of others. Therefore, building and maintaining strong relationships and partnerships, and working together with others in general, is an ongoing focus for us.
32. Eke Panuku Development Auckland works collaboratively with other Auckland Council departments, CCOs and Crown agencies to deliver joined-up urban regeneration in our neighbourhoods.
33. Impacts and views are considered both on a programme and project level for the neighbourhoods we work in, to maximise community outcomes.

37. Eke Panuku has worked closely with our mana whenua partners to understand their priorities in Tāmaki Makaurau. Mana whenua have shared their top five aspirations with Eke Panuku. Below is a summary:
· Governance: We involve mana whenua in transparent decision-making.
· Culture: We will increase our practice of kaitiakitanga (by all) and increase the visibility of Māori identity and culture in our projects.
· Economic: We will create more commercial investment, procurement, and engagement opportunities for Māori.
· Social: We will foster a sense of community and connectedness and help enhance the well-being of Māori here in Tāmaki Makaurau.
· Natural environment: We will work together to ensure we are working towards significant improvements to te mauri o te taiao.
38. Eke Panuku continues to make progress on the Eke Panuku Mana Whenua Outcomes Framework actions and presented a six-month status report to mana whenua in February 2021.
39. Eke Panuku has achieved 36/40 significant initiatives in the 2020-2021 financial year. Highlights include the numerous whakawātea with our mana whenua partners to celebrate significant milestones to build the stage for the 2021 America’s Cup.
40. Following the Emergency Budget 2020/2021, Eke Panuku is still working with mana whenua to identify potential development and disposal opportunities. Eke Panuku has invited mana whenua to register commercial interests in properties Eke Panuku is preparing to dispose of on the market.
41. Eke Panuku has started a pilot programme focused on growing the capability of young leaders to enable placemaking activities. The programme, He Pia He Tauira, has hosted several wānanga with tauira to prepare for upcoming activities.

Context
5. The council’s Quality Advice Programme aims to improve the focus, analysis, presentation and timeliness of staff advice to elected representatives. An initiative under this is to develop forward work calendars for Governing Body committees and local boards. These provide elected members with better visibility of the types of governance tasks they are being asked to undertake and when they are scheduled.
6. There are no new projects in the Governance Forward Work Calendar. The calendar brings together in one schedule reporting on all of the board’s projects and activities that have been previously approved in the local board plan, long-term plan, departmental work programmes and through other board decisions. It includes Governing Body policies and initiatives that call for a local board response.
7. This initiative is intended to support the board’s governance role. It will also help staff to support local boards, as an additional tool to manage workloads and track activities across council departments, and it will allow greater transparency for the public.
8. The calendar is arranged in three columns, “Topic”, “Purpose” and “Governance Role”:
i) Topic describes the items and may indicate how they fit in with broader processes such as the annual plan.
ii) Purpose indicates the aim of the item, such as formally approving plans or projects, hearing submissions or receiving progress updates
iii) Governance role is a higher-level categorisation of the work local boards do. Examples of the seven governance categories are tabled below:
Governance role |
Examples |
Setting direction / priorities / budget |
Capex projects, work programmes, annual plan |
Local initiatives / specific decisions |
Grants, road names, alcohol bans |
Input into regional decision-making |
Comments on regional bylaws, policies, plans |
Oversight and monitoring |
Local board agreement, quarterly performance reports, review projects |
Accountability to the public |
Annual report |
Engagement |
Community hui, submissions processes |
Keeping informed |
Briefings, local board forums |
9. Local board members are welcome to discuss changes to the calendar. The calendar will be updated and reported back every month to business meetings. Updates will also be distributed to relevant council staff.
