Minutes of Manurewa Local Board - Thursday, 16 December 2021

b) note Auckland Transport’s commitment to investigate timely reinstatement of road safety infrastructure and request that urgent priority is given to reinstatement and upgrades to safety barriers and markings at Clendon Roundabout. This is a frequent location for motor vehicle crashes, including the recent double fatality noted in this report

c) request that Auckland Transport:

i) provide a report, to be provided by the board's February 2022 business meeting, setting out:

· the number of motor vehicle accidents, deaths and serious injuries at Clendon Roundabout over the last five years

· the damage to safety barriers caused by these accidents

· the time taken for safety barriers to be reinstated after each accident

ii) undertake an assessment of the adequacy of existing safety infrastructure at Clendon Roundabout and provide the board with advice on any improvements required

d) request that Auckland Transport liaise with Community Facilities regarding repairs of the damage to the tunnel at Clendon Roundabout caused by the recent major accident

e) thank Auckland Transport for progressing the signalisation of the intersections of Grande Vue and Hill Roads; Hill and Claude Roads; and Claude and Alfriston Roads. This aligns with the Manurewa-Takanini-Papakura Integrated Area Plan 2018 and with Nga Ara o Manurewa / Manurewa Local Paths Plan 2019, and will strengthen links between Manurewa town centre, Nathan Homestead and the Botanic Gardens.

Auckland Transport - proposed speed limit changes (Tranche 2A)

Resolution number MR/2021/214

MOVED by Chairperson J Allan, seconded by Member K Penney:

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) provide the following feedback on Tranche 2A of Auckland Transport’s proposed speed limit changes:

i) the board has consistently championed efforts to calm traffic and reduce rates of death and serious injury due to motor vehicles (DSI) on Manurewa roads. We are in full support of the Vision Zero vision that that there will be no deaths or serious injuries on our transport system by 2050 and support Auckland Transport’s continued investment in road safety, including local board led road safety projects, to achieve this goal

ii) Outcome Four of the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020, ‘Our safe and accessible network provides transport options to meet community needs,’ includes the key initiative ‘Continue working with AT to improve road safety and slow traffic throughout Manurewa, in line with Vision Zero principles’

iii) the board has partnered with Auckland Transport on road safety projects, including speed calming area treatments and raised pedestrian crossings around schools. These projects have had a positive effect and DSI rates in Manurewa have reduced. It is important that we continue working in partnership with Auckland Transport if we are to achieve the Vision Zero goal

iv) the board notes that roads whose speed limits were reduced as part of Tranche One of Auckland Transport’s Safe Speeds Programme have experienced a 67 per cent reduction in fatalities, 19 per cent reduction in all injury crashes, and a minor reduction in serious injuries

v) the board supports reducing the speed limit from 50 km/h to 30 km/h on the following proposed roads in the Manurewa Local Board area as set out in Attachment A of the report

vi) the board supports lowering speed limits around all schools and encourages Auckland Transport to ensure that appropriate signage and road markings are delivered as soon as this is implemented

vii) the board supports the installation of raised pedestrian crossings around schools to ensure the safety of children travelling to and from school. We also request that Auckland Transport investigates road safety issues created by heavy vehicles such as trucks using on-street parking near schools

viii) the board requests that Auckland Transport gives priority to delivery of further Residential Speed Management projects in Manurewa, including the Jellicoe and Finlayson Quadrants, in addition to further speed limit reductions planned for this area.

i) cancellation of Pitt Avenue Reserve - renew bridge (ID 2733), as the remedial work to preserve the integrity of structure was delivered under urgent minor capex as an operational response project and therefore no longer requires local renewal budget of $77,903.86 in financial year 2020/2021

ii) reallocation of the Asset Based Services Capex Local Renewal of $77,903.86 within financial year 2020/2021 from cancelled project Pitt Avenue Reserve - renew bridge (ID 2733) to Nathan Homestead - renew building and install wayfinding signage (ID 2536)

Draft Significance and Engagement Policy 2022

Resolution number MR/2021/218

MOVED by Member K Penney, seconded by Member D Pizzini:

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) provide the following feedback on the draft Significance and Engagement Policy as part of the overall consideration for final adoption in February 2022:

Determining significance

i) As decision-makers on local matters, activities and services, local boards should have responsibility for determining the degree of significance of proposals or decisions within their local areas. The policy is not clear on the role of local boards in this regard

ii) Local boards must also have responsibility for decisions or proposals in relation to strategic and non-strategic assets in their area, which they consider essential to the delivery of local community outcomes as identified in their local board plans. This includes assets that are held or managed by a substantive Council Controlled Organisation (CCO)

Engaging Auckland’s Communities

iii) The board supports a review of the Engagement Guidelines, focusing on how to engage with hard-to-reach communities who don’t provide feedback through our usual methods, and whose voices are therefore often under-represented in local government decision-making

iv) Region-wide approaches to engagement of Tāmaki Makaurau’s diverse populations can often miss the unique differences within each local board area and fail to capitalise on local knowledge and relationships. The board suggests a much more nuanced approach to local engagement on matters of regional significance and would support directing a greater proportion of resource targeted at hard-to-reach communities

v) The board supports greater utilisation of community partners to engage with their own communities and seek feedback. Funding should be made available so that community partners are appropriately compensated for this work

vi) The board requests that engagement materials include visual graphics to point readers to information or explain complex issues

vii) Local boards need to be appropriately resourced to carry out their engagement responsibilities with their local community on both local and regional consultations, including being provided with engagement materials and tools, such as marketing collateral, to improve participation.

c) note that the board requested at its workshop with Auckland Transport on Thursday 2 December 2021 that the engagement approach for road corridor renewals (‘reseals’) be changed from ‘inform’ to ‘consult’ to reflect the knowledge that the board can provide on the state of local roads and footpaths, and request this change be reflected in the Quarterly Update for Quarter Two 2021/2022.
