Local impacts and local board views

27. The recommendations in this report fall within the local board’s allocated authority relating to local, recreation, sports, and community facilities.

28. The recommendations support the Albert-Eden Local Board Outcome plan “Parks and community facilities meet a wide range of needs.”

31. As the nature of this lease is not contemplated in the operative reserve management plan, iwi engagement is required. A presentation has already been made to the Mana Whenua forum and written communication with iwi groups with an interest in the area will be undertaken depending on the board’s decision in this regard.

Risks and mitigations

Draft proposal to make a new Signs Bylaw

File No.: CP2021/09832

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek support on the draft proposal to make a new Auckland Council and Auckland Transport Ture ā-Rohe mo nga Tohu 2022 / Signs Bylaw 2022 and associated controls before it is finalised for public consultation.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. To enable the local board to decide whether to support a proposal to make a new signs bylaw and associated controls, staff have prepared a draft proposal.

3. The draft proposal is the culmination of decisions by the Regulatory Committee and Board of Auckland Transport on the review of the current Signage Bylaw 2015. These decisions were made at meetings to consider the review’s findings in June 2020 and options in October 2020 and April 2021 and provided direction on the content of the draft proposal.

4. The draft proposal would continue to enable council to manage the problems signs can cause in relation to nuisance, safety, misuse of public places^{^[1]}, the Auckland transport system and environment.

5. The main draft proposals in comparison to the current bylaws about signs are to:

· combine the current Signage Bylaw 2015 and Election Signs Bylaw 2013

· increase the current portable sign prohibited area to cover the entire City Centre Zone

· increase the maximum area of flat wall-mounted signs in the Heavy Industry Zone to 6m² (currently 2.88m² for sale of a property and 5m² for goods, services or events)

· retain the intent of the rules in the current bylaws (unless otherwise stated) in a way that is up to date and more certain

· use a bylaw structure, format and wording more aligned to the Auckland Unitary Plan and current council drafting standards.

6. Staff recommend that the local board support the draft proposal.

7. There is a reputational risk that the draft proposal or the local board’s support do not reflect the views of people in their local board area. This risk would be partly mitigated by the opportunity for the local board to provide views on public feedback prior to a final decision.

8. Local board support on the draft proposal will help develop a proposal for the Regulatory Committee to recommend to the Governing Body and for the Board of Auckland Transport. Public consultation is scheduled for September and October, deliberations for March 2022 and a final Governing Body and Board of Auckland Transport decision for April 2022.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Local Board:

a) support the draft Statement of Proposal in Attachment A of this agenda report to make a new Auckland Council and Auckland Transport Ture ā-Rohe mo nga Tohu 2022 / Signs Bylaw 2022 and associated controls for public consultation.

Horopaki

Context

The draft proposed Bylaw and controls regulate most signs in Auckland

9. The draft proposed new Auckland Council and Auckland Transport Ture ā-Rohe mo nga Tohu 2022 / Signs Bylaw 2022 and associated controls seek to manage the problems signs can cause in relation to nuisance, safety, misuse of public places, Auckland transport system and environment.

10. The draft proposed new bylaw and controls:

· would continue to provide for signs related to activities on the same property as long as they meet certain conditions for their design, construction and duration of display

· would continue to limit signs unrelated to the day-to-day activities on the land it is located (for example signs on footpaths)

· would continue to provide more opportunities to display signs about elections, polls and referendums during an election period that would not normally be allowed

· would continue to be enforced by the Licencing and Regulatory Compliance unit using a graduated compliance model (information / education / enforcement)

· would remain part of a wider regulatory framework^{^[2]}

· must be adopted using a public consultative process and commence before 28 May 2022 to avoid a regulatory gap (the Signage Bylaw 2015 expires on 28 May 2022).

The proposal is the outcome of a statutory review of the current signage bylaw

11. The Regulatory Committee (committee) and Board of Auckland Transport (board) requested staff commence the process to make a new bylaw and controls following a statutory review of the Auckland Council and Auckland Transport Signage Bylaw 2015 (refer diagram below).

2015 Signage Bylaw review process

12. Staff have prepared a draft proposal to implement the decision of the committee and board (Attachment A). The draft proposal includes the reasons and decisions which led to the proposed new bylaw and controls and provides a comparison between the current bylaws and the proposed new bylaw and controls.

The local board has an opportunity to provide its views on the draft proposal

13. The local board has an opportunity to support the draft proposal in Attachment A by resolution to the Regulatory Committee and the Board of Auckland Transport before it is finalised for public consultation.

14. The board could support the draft proposal for public consultation, recommend changes or defer comment until after it has considered public feedback on the proposal.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

(current maximum is 2.88m² for sale of a property and 5m² for goods, services or events on a property).
· To retain the intent of the rules in the current bylaws (unless otherwise stated) in a way that is up to date and more certain.	· retain the effect of rules considered to still be appropriate. · ensure rules are current, clear, and easier to understand and comply with.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

20. The draft proposal impacts the operations of several council departments and council-controlled organisations. This includes Auckland Council’s Licencing and Regulatory Compliance Unit and Parks, Sports and Recreation Department, Auckland Unlimited, Panuku and Auckland Transport.

21. Relevant staff are aware of the impacts of the draft proposal and their implementation role, and the proposal is being developed jointly with Auckland Transport.

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

Local impacts and local board views

22. The draft proposal impacts local governance, for example it regulates signs about community events and signs on local facilities and parks.

23. Representative local board views were provided in April 2021 through a joint working group established by the Regulatory Committee and Board of Auckland Transport.^{^[3]} Group members unanimously supported a new bylaw and controls that would be more aligned to the Auckland Unitary Plan and provided suggestions on the detailed content of the Bylaw.^{^[4]}

24. The Regulatory Committee and Board of Auckland Transport considered these views on 20 April 2021 (REG/2021/20) (29/04/2021:18). The committee and board directed staff to draft a new bylaw and controls. Group suggestions on detailed content have been considered in preparing the draft proposal.

25. This report gives the local board an opportunity to provide its support on the draft proposal by resolution to the Regulatory Committee and Board of Auckland Transport.

26. The local board will have further opportunity to provide its views to a Bylaw Panel on how the Panel should address matters raised in public feedback to the proposal related to its local board area.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

27. The proposal contributes to the Independent Māori Statutory Board’s Māori Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau and the Auckland Plan 2050’s Māori Identity and Wellbeing outcome by supporting Māori who want to make their businesses uniquely identifiable and visible.

28. The proposal also helps protect all people living in Tāmaki Makaurau from the potential harms and nuisances that signs can cause.

29. People identifying as Māori presented views during the 2015 signage bylaw review. This feedback primarily identified ways to improve inappropriate signage standards. The draft proposal addresses those views by clarifying and updating standards.

30. Staff will engage with mana whenua and mataawaka during the public consultative process to ensure Māori are able to provide their views on the proposal.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

31. There are no financial implications to the local board for any decisions to support the draft proposal for public consultation. The Governing Body and the Board of Auckland Transport will consider any financial implications associated with public notification at a later date.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

32. The following risk has been identified:

If...	Then...	Mitigation
The draft proposal or the local board’s support do not reflect the view of people in the local board area.	There may be negative views about council’s process to develop the proposal.	The local board will have an opportunity to consider any public feedback and provide its formal views to a Bylaw Panel on how the Panel should address the matters raised in the feedback prior to the final decision being made.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

33. Staff will present a proposal and any local board support to the Regulatory Committee and Board of Auckland Transport in August 2021.

34. If at any time a joint bylaw is not able to progress, Auckland Council will continue to progress a bylaw for sign-related matters it is responsible for.

35. If the Governing Body of Auckland Council and the Board of Auckland Transport decide to proceed with a joint bylaw, the subsequent steps include public consultation, local board views on public feedback, Bylaw Panel deliberations and a final decision by the Governing Body of Auckland Council and Board of Auckland Transport (refer to the diagram in Context).

Albert-Eden Local Board 2019-2022 delegations and appointments to external community organisations

File No.: CP2021/09969

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To appoint a local board member representative to external community organisations which became vacant following the resignation of Member Benjamin Lee in February 2021.

2. To review all appointments and delegations made to local board members following the Albert-Eden Local Board by-election in May 2021.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3. Elected members participate as representatives of the local board on a number of external community organisations. In addition, there are a small number of appointments which are the responsibility of the Governing Body but they have delegated responsibility to nominate an elected member of the relevant local board. There are also a few groups that exist because of a resource consent condition or another formal agreement requiring a local board representative.

4. The appointment of local board members to community organisations and other groups was made by resolution at the boards 4 December 2019 (AE/2019/101) and 17 March 2020 (AE/2020/29) meetings. The reports on those agendas provide full details.

5. In order to enable effective and efficient decision-making, the council delegates some responsibilities to staff or individual elected members. This involves appointing nominated local board members who will:

· be consulted on landowner consents and events

· provide feedback on liquor licences and resource consents and

· provide feedback into particular central government-led processes.

6. The local board has delegated these responsibilities during the local board’s 4 December 2019 (AE/2019/100), 5 May 2020 (AE/2020/39), 17 November 2020 (AE/2020/146) and 15 June 2021 (AE/2021/91) meetings.

7. Member Benjamin Lee held the appointment for The Fringe District (Kingsland Business Society Incorporated) and Uptown Business Association. Following his resignation is it appropriate to appoint a new member to these roles.

8. As there has been a change in local board membership the local board may wish to review these delegations and make any changes for the remainder of the 2019-2022 triennium.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Albert-Eden Local Board:

Context

External community organisations

9. A number of external organisations provide for the formal participation of Auckland Council elected members in their affairs. Elected member appointees will have a variety of duties and liabilities depending on the individual organisation.

10. At the commencement of each triennium, the Governing Body and local boards make appointments to external organisations.

11. Nominated local board members are to provide updates at local board meetings to regularly inform all local board members of discussions and decisions made of their activities, unless good reasons exist for confidentiality. These updates are in the form of business meeting written or verbal reports which maintain public transparency.

12. Members are delegated in their capacity as elected local board members. Should they no longer be a local board member, their nominations would be automatically repealed.

Appointments and delegations

13. Decision-making within Auckland Council is shared between the Governing Body and local boards. Local boards have made a general delegation to the Chief Executive of all of their responsibilities, duties and powers subject to the exclusions, restrictions and clarifications set out in the Chief Executive’s Delegations Register. The Chief Executive has in turn delegated those responsibilities, duties and powers to staff. The exercise of those responsibilities, duties and powers is subject to a set of delegation protocols. These protocols provide a set of expectations and directions to staff and require a number of actions that are relevant to all local activities. These delegations help Auckland Council to operate efficiently and effectively.

14. In order to enable effective and efficient decision-making, the council delegates some responsibilities to staff or individual elected members.

Risks and mitigations

26. In the case of community organisations, local board members may be part of any organisation in their private capacity and personal interests. They are encouraged to disclose memberships of external organisations in the conflict of interest register.

27. In the case of providing local board feedback under delegation, the main risks occur if there are no delegations in place. Regarding resource consents and liquor licences, the local board may miss the opportunity to provide feedback due to tight timeframes. For landowner consents, including film applications, if no delegation is made this falls on the local board chair, which may result in an unmanageable workload. All appointments and delegations have been made, so this risk is mitigated.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

28. In the case of community organisations, Local Board Services staff will inform the external organisations of the name of the new local board representative appointment. Staff will inform the local board representative of the community organisations’ meeting times, dates and locations.

29. In the case of providing local board feedback under delegation, Local Board Services staff will inform council staff of any changes made to the existing appointments and delegations, and the new appointment member(s) will be able to provide feedback in accordance with the Local Board Delegation Protocols.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Albert-Eden Local Board:

a) provide feedback on the Natural and Built Environments Bill exposure draft for inclusion in the Auckland Council submission, noting that local boards feedback is required by close of business on 26 July 2021 for inclusion in the council submission.

Horopaki

Context

Resource management system reform

7. The government is undertaking comprehensive reform of the resource management system.

8. The first stage of this reform was a review which started in 2019 by The Resource Management Review Panel (the panel). The panel reported back to the Minister for the Environment in June 2020 in its report, New Directions for Resource Management in New Zealand. The report set out a proposed future resource management system, including indicative drafting of legislation for key provisions.

9. Through this, the council arrived at various positions through its submission to the panel which staff will use to guide submission development on the next stages of reform.

10. After receiving the panel’s report, Cabinet decided to proceed with Resource Management Act reform largely modelled on the panel’s recommendations.

11. Cabinet agreed to the following objectives for reform:

· protect and, where necessary, restore the natural environment, including its capacity to provide for the wellbeing of present and future generations

· better enable development within environmental biophysical limits, including a significant improvement in housing supply, affordability and choice, and timely provision of appropriate infrastructure, including social infrastructure

· give effect to the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and provide greater recognition of te ao Māori, including mātauranga Māori

· better prepare for adapting to climate change and risks from natural hazards and better mitigate emissions contributing to climate change

· improve system efficiency and effectiveness and reduce complexity while retaining appropriate local democratic input.

12. Cabinet agreed to the repeal and replacement of the RMA with three pieces of legislation (names may be subject to change):

· the Natural and Built Environments Act (NBA) to provide for land use and environmental regulation (this would be the primary replacement for the current RMA)

· the Strategic Planning Act (SPA) to integrate with other legislation relevant to development (such as the Local Government Act and Land Transport Management Act) and require long-term regional spatial strategies

· the Managed Retreat and Climate Change Adaptation Act (CAA) to enable and address issues associated with managed retreat and funding and financing adaptation.

13. It is intended that the NBA and SPA be introduced to Parliament by early 2022, with their passage through the house likely to take around a year.

The NBA exposure draft and select committee inquiry process

14. This exposure draft of the NBA has been released to enable early public engagement on some aspects of the proposed legislation and inform the development of the final bill. This will be conducted through a select committee inquiry.

15. The purpose of the inquiry is to provide feedback on the extent to which the provisions in the exposure draft of the Natural and Built Environments Bill will support the resource management reform objectives stated in paragraph 11.

16. The scope of the select committee inquiry is limited to:

· matters covered by the exposure draft or in the support material

· collating a list of ideas for making the new system more efficient, more proportionate to the scale and/or risks associated with given activities, more affordable for the end user, and less complex compared to the current system.

17. There are many aspects of the final NBA which are not in the exposure draft. The council will have an opportunity to submit on these matters when the final NBA bill is introduced in early 2022. These matters include:

· process to develop the National Planning Framework

· consenting

· existing use rights

· allocation of resources and economic instruments

· compliance, monitoring and enforcement

· water conservation orders

· heritage orders

· designations

· subdivision

· transitional provisions

· provision for urban design, including urban tree cover

· the function and roles of ministers and agencies, as well as regional councils and territorial authorities in the system.

18. The inquiry is open for public submission with a closing date of 4 August 2021. The select committee will report back to the Minister for the Environment by 18 October 2021.

Analysis and advice

Summary of the Natural and Built Environments Act exposure draft

19. The exposure draft contains the proposed clauses relating to:

· Key definitions.

· Purpose and related provisions (including the concept of Te Oranga o te Taiao).

· Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

· Environmental limits including their purpose and key requirements.

· Environmental outcomes which the National Planning Framework and all Natural and Built Environments Plans must promote.

· Implementation principles.

· Aspects of the Natural and Built Environments Plans (NBEPs) including what they are to contain and the nature of the committees which are proposed to develop them. These plans would take place at a regional level and replace current land use environmental plans e.g. the Auckland Unitary Plan.

· Aspects of the National Planning Framework (NPF) including what outcomes must be covered by it, and the mechanism for its development. This framework would replace the current system of national direction (e.g. National Policy Statements and National Environmental Standards).

20. A parliamentary paper is also provided that provides rationale for the clauses in the exposure draft.

Purpose and related provisions

21. The exposure draft proposes the purpose of the act as to enable:

· Te Oranga o te Taiao to be upheld, including by protecting and enhancing the natural environment

· people and communities to use the environment in a way that supports the wellbeing of present generations without compromising the wellbeing of future generations.

22. In this context, the concept Te Oranga o te Taiao is suggested to incorporate:

· the health of the natural environment

· the intrinsic relationship between iwi and hapū and te taiao

· the interconnectedness of all parts of the natural environment

· the essential relationship between the health of the natural environment and its capacity to sustain all life.

23. According to the support material, Te Oranga o te Taiao is intended to be connected to and supported within other NBA provisions that provide for the better alignment of the relationship management to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and te ao Māori. This includes environmental outcomes and implementation principles.

24. Wellbeing is defined to encompass the four wellbeings and the environment is defined to include the natural environment as well as people and communities and the built environment they create.

25. The proposed purpose largely aligns with the council’s previous submission to the panel on the Transforming the resource management system: Opportunities for change paper.

Principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi

26. The exposure draft’s proposed principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi clause requires that any person exercising functions or powers under that act must give effect to the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This is stronger than the current RMA equivalent which requires the principles to be taken into account. The proposed clause reflects the council’s submission to the panel.

27. The supplementary information states that it is intended that the NBA would contain direction and guidance as to how this clause is to be implemented. This could be an area for feedback in the council’s submission.

Environmental limits

28. Environmental limits prescribe the minimum standards of the system to protect the ecological integrity of the natural environment and/or human health.

29. Limits (either in terms of a minimum state or the maximum allowable harm of stress permitted) are required for air; biodiversity, habitats, and ecosystems; coastal waters; estuaries; freshwater; and soil. These limits could be different for different locations or circumstances.

30. Limits can be either qualitative or quantitative and will be either prescribed through the NPF or through NBEPs.

31. The exposure draft’s clauses relating to environmental limits largely align with council’s previous submission in the matters it covered and the requirement for a precautionary approach.

Environmental Outcomes

32. These outcomes must be promoted by the National Planning Framework and all Natural and Built Environments Plans.

33. Given their importance in the new system the proposed outcomes in the draft exposure draft will be a key focus for council’s submission.

34. They cover outcomes related to:

· the quality of air, freshwater, coastal waters, estuaries and soils

· ecological integrity

· outstanding natural features and landscapes

· areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna

· access and character of the coast, lakes, rivers, wetlands and their margins

· the relationship of iwi and hapū, and their tikanga and traditions, with their ancestral lands, water, sites, wāhi tapu and other taonga

· the mana and mauri of the natural environment

· cultural heritage, including cultural landscapes

· protected customary rights

· greenhouse gas emissions

· urban areas

· housing supply

· rural areas

· infrastructure services

· natural hazards and climate change.

35. These outcomes go further than the current RMA’s equivalent (matters of national importance and other matters), particularly by including the mana and mauri of the natural environment, cultural landscapes, climate change mitigation, urban areas and housing supply, rural areas, and provision of infrastructure services.

Key clauses for the National Planning Framework

36. The NPF will include and replace existing forms of national direction and combine their existing functions and powers. This approach was supported by council’s previous submission to the panel on the Transforming the resource management system: Opportunities for change paper.

37. Its purpose will be to provide integrated direction on matters of national significance or where consistency nationally or across parts of New Zealand would be desirable.

38. The NPF will:

· prescribe environmental limits or enable plans to do so

· set out provisions directing the following outcomes: the quality of air, freshwater, coastal waters, estuaries, and soils; ecological integrity; outstanding natural features and landscapes; areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna; greenhouse gas emissions; urban areas; housing supply; rural areas; infrastructure services; and natural hazards and climate change

· contain provisions to help resolve conflicts relating to the environment, including conflicts between or among any of the environmental outcomes.

39. In doing the above, it must include strategic goals such as the vision, direction and priorities for the integrated management of the environment within the environmental limits; and how the wellbeing of present and future generations is to be provided for within the relevant environmental limits.

40. The NPF may also include provisions on any other matter that accords with the purpose of the NPF.

41. The process for the preparation of the NPF is not provided in the exposure draft. The supporting material suggests that this could take several forms, such as a board of inquiry or independent panel with a simplified process for less significant matters, or there could be a standing independent body to maintain consistency and integration.

42. The support material states that the eventual process is intended to provide for:

· a role for iwi, hapū and Māori that gives effect to the principles of Te Tiriti

· effective and proportionate public consultation

· appropriate evidence and technical expertise including mātauranga Māori and independent advice

· opportunities for early engagement with decision-makers, including local government

· robust evaluation and analysis

· consideration of the precautionary approach, integrated management, cumulative effects and the purpose of the act.

43. The support material acknowledges the need for further work to determine the role for iwi, hapū and Māori in the process and substance of the NPF.

Implementation principles

44. The exposure draft contains placeholder language on the principles that people who are involved in the system must follow.

45. The current principles cover integrated management of the environment; kawa, kaitiakitanga, and mātauranga Māori; public participation; participation by iwi and hapū; authority and responsibility of each iwi and hapū to protect and sustain the health and wellbeing of te taiao; cumulative effects; and the precautionary approach.

Key clauses for the Natural and Built Environments Plans

46. Cabinet agreed that regulatory planning be conducted at a regional level through a single plan. This would see around 14 plans created nationally and would be similar in nature to the current Auckland Unitary Plan (AUP) which combines the functions of regional and district plans. Plans would be subject to an independent hearings panel (IHP) process in line with the development of the AUP.

47. The exposure draft proposes that the purpose of plans would be to further the purpose of the act by providing a framework for the integrated management of the environment in the region that the plan relates to.

48. The supplementary information makes it clear that the government is still considering the best approach to plan preparation and decision-making. In the absence of a clear policy preference, the exposure draft adopts the panel’s approach of permanent bodies made up of one member from each local authority of the region, a number of mana whenua representatives, and one representative of the Minister of Conservation reflecting their interests in relation to the Coastal Marine Area.

49. The supplementary material sets out the following matters relating to committees where they are seeking specific feedback:

· size and scope of the committees (e.g. whether all councils are represented, whether the size of the committee varies by region, proportionality of membership between central and local government and mana whenua, and whether there is an optimal size for efficiency)

· local authority membership (e.g. whether there are elected members, experts or officials, and the selection method)

· mana whenua membership (e.g. selection method and the approach to representation)

· number of local authorities and mana whenua members (e.g. whether the same in all regions for all issues)

· how the planning committee secretariat will be funded (noting the panel’s recommended approach was for local authorities to fund the secretariat)

· legal status of planning committees.

50. The exposure draft is silent on who would chair these planning committees and method of appointment. The panel recommended that these committees would be fully autonomous meaning their decisions would not be subject to further approval from local authorities, with local authorities able to submit on the plans to the IHP.

51. There may be some matters for which local authorities would also carry out local planning for, although the exposure draft is not clear on these matters or the process for doing this.

System efficiencies

52. The support material includes a list of examples of how the system could be more efficient and less complex. The select committee is invited to add to this list and council could provide suggestions as part of its submission.
