Auckland Transport Report - March 2022

File No.: CP2022/02653

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide an update to the Waiheke Local Board on transport related matters in their area.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

This report covers:

2.       A general summary of operational projects and activities of interest to the Waiheke Local Board.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation

That the Waiheke Local Board:

a)      receive the Auckland Transport March 2022 update.

 

Horopaki

Context

3.       Auckland Transport is responsible for all of Auckland’s transport services, excluding state highways. We report monthly to local boards, as set out in our Local Board Engagement Plan. This reporting commitment acknowledges the important engagement role local boards play within the governance of Auckland on behalf of their local communities. 

4.       This report updates the Waiheke Local Board on Auckland Transport (AT) projects and operations in the local board area.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF)

5.       The LBTCF is a capital budget provided to all local boards by Auckland Council and delivered by Auckland Transport. Local boards can use this fund to deliver transport infrastructure projects that they believe are important but are not part of AT’s work programme.

6.       The current amount of funding proposed in the Regional Land Transport Plan is $400,000 per annum.

7.       The unspent budget of $71,493.50 from 2020/2021 can be carried forward for the board to allocate as they see fit providing a total fund available for 2021/2022 of $471,493.50. Auckland Transport will work with the local board to discuss and advise on the best use of the budget.

Community Safety Fund (CSF)

8.       The CSF is a capital budget established by Auckland Transport for use by local boards to fund local road safety initiatives. The purpose of this fund is to allow elected members to address long-standing local road safety issues that are not regional priorities and are therefore not being addressed by the Auckland Transport programme.

9.       CSF funding for the design and construction for the Causeway project has been confirmed for 2021/2022, and further updates on this project will be provided to the local board in due course.

10.     The project is presently still in the design phase, with the consent to work near the coastline and removal of trees yet to be finalised. Other design elements requiring clarification include the structures needed to support the sealed shoulder (where the current shoulder width is less than 1.5m), and typical cross-sections at key points along the length of the Causeway.

11.     The delivery team are providing an update on the project to the local board on Wednesday 16th March.

Update on Auckland Transport operations:

12.     The table below has a general summary of projects and activities of interest to the local board with their status. Please note that:

·    All timings are indicative and are subject to change.

·    The Waiheke Operations Manager will update the local board in the event of any amendments or changes to the summaries provided for below.

Activity

Update

EV chargers

AT is working on the approval for applications from Vector (on behalf of Electric Island) for the installation of new EV charging stations in Orapiu and Onetangi.

 

There is one dedicated parking space planned at Orapiu, and three dedicated parking spaces on Third Avenue in Onetangi. These parking spaces will be for electric vehicle use only where electric vehicles can charge and are permitted to stay for up to 4 hours (240 minutes).

 

Waiheke has the highest number of electric vehicles per capita in New Zealand, and these dedicated parking spaces will support the high and growing number of electric vehicles on Waiheke, supporting efforts to lower emissions across the island.

 

Road Maintenance

Programmed works

March works includes routine cyclic maintenance of signs, drains and potholes.

Watertabling cleanouts

1.   Orapiu Rd.

Chipsealing

1.   Oue Rd., Oneroa

2.   Weka Rd., Oneroa

3.   Onetangi Rd., Onetangi

4.   Beach Pde., Oneroa

5.   Ocean View Rd., Oneroa

Road repairs

1.   O’Brien Rd, Omiha/Rocky Bay.

2.   Stop/Go traffic control. Digouts and road damage repairs– approx. 360m2

Matiatia carparks

Owhanake Carpark

Two Day parking limit signage outstanding. Installation crews have been affected by staff shortages due to recent COVID cases. Signage will be installed at earliest opportunity.

The parking limits are being implemented to provide short term parking availability and increase available commuter parking. There is no cost for parking in this carpark.

An extended area of No Stopping At All Times on the eastern boundary is designed to prohibit vehicles from parking as they currently do to ensure there is sufficient area for vehicles to manoeuvre safely.

Matiatia lower carpark

AT is underway with plans to draw up a resolution proposing to swop the current Small Passenger Service Vehicle (SPSV) stand with the adjacent P15 vehicle waiting area.

 

SPSVs tend to be unbooked taxis or shuttles waiting for a fare coming off the ferry. The proposed SPSV stand will provide more visibility for people looking for a taxi or shuttle. There is no time limit for these vehicles waiting on the dedicated SPSV stand, drivers however are required to remain with their vehicles.

 

The adjacent P15 allocation allows for a vehicle to remain unattended for 15 minutes. (There are P30 parking spaces nearby if the vehicle needs or wishes to remain unattended for longer).

 

Separation of $3 and $6 Matiatia carparks

To provide a safer pedestrian environment in the lower carpark, it is proposed to install bollards between the lower ($3) and upper ($6) carparks. Vehicles will no longer be able to cross over between the two carparks.

This work is expected to be completed by the end of the month. 

Wharves

Matiatia Wharf (main)

Preparations are underway for the second stage of AT’s wharf renewal project at Matiatia.

 

The first round of testing has been complete which is currently being worked through with the project engineer to see if the second phase can commence.

 

A current start date of April is dependent on a critical path item currently being fabricated overseas. An update will be provided as soon as the proposed start day is confirmed.

All items (pontoons, gangways, and hydraulics platforms) are being fabricated off-site, and work on the new wharf will only commence once these items are ready to be shipped to the site. Initial works will consist of dismantling and removing the existing infrastructure, and all ferry services will temporarily relocate to the old wharf while the renewal work is carried out.

Once onsite, works are expected to take between 6-8 weeks. Some items are being sourced from overseas with timeframes having to be adjusted to accommodate inbound shipping schedules.

Phase one – the southern berth (Pier 1)

·    Pontoon replacement

·    New hydraulic platform

·    New fixed landing platform

·    New upper and lower gangways

Phase two – to replace the northern berth (Pier 2).

Expected to take place within 12-18 months.

Metro Services

Ferry Services

COVID restrictions continued to impact on patronage during February.

 

Service performance in February for Fullers360 was impacted by staff availability challenges across all of their routes. This was because of general on-board crew shortages which resulted in the cancellation of 2 return services per weekday throughout the month, and which were subsequently compounded further by the impact of COVID-19 cases and/or self-isolation requirements towards the end of the month.

 

Whilst AT and Fullers360 are confident that the direct impact of COVID-19 on the workforce will reduce as we move into April, the overall staffing challenges for Fullers360 are expected to remain throughout the winter period.

 

Te Huruhi School pedestrian crossing

The proposal is for a new pedestrian crossing to be constructed outside the school.

Internal consultation is currently with the Design Review Panel. The project team are also seeking approval from the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) to progress this project to the external consultation phase.

Upon completion of the external consultation, the final design will be completed, whereafter procurement of a suitable contractor will take place to undertake the physical works.

Intersection upgrade - Donald Bruce Rd/Causeway Rd/Alison Rd

 

This project is for the construction of a new roundabout at the Donald Bruce Rd/Causeway Rd/Alison Rd intersection in Surfdale.

Scope of the project includes raised Swedish speed tables, changes to the traffic islands to accommodate new raised zebra crossings, footpath upgrades, pedestrian crossing lighting, and new road markings and signage.

The communication plan has been completed and has been submitted to the ELT (Executive Leadership Team) for approval.  Once approved, the communications team will provide the public with notification of the project – this will include Variable Message signs, letter drops, and adverts in the local papers.

 

It is anticipated that construction will commence in April 2022.

 

The delivery team are providing an update on the project to the local board on Wednesday 16th March.

Local board input to development of Auckland Transport’s Interim Speed Management Plan

File No.: CP2022/02656

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek early local board input to the development of Auckland Transport’s proposed interim Auckland Speed Management Plan.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Central government is committed to speed reductions and the ‘Vision Zero’ road safety policy and is considering implementing regulations that would require the creation of regional speed management plans.

3.       Introduction of an interim Speed Management Plan meets the council’s direction to Auckland Transport (AT) to reduce road deaths and serious injuries, and to prepare to meet the proposed central government rules.

4.       In December 2021, AT advised all local boards about the development of an interim Auckland Speed Management Plan for the period 2023-26. The plan will create a framework for setting new speed limits and will influence plans for related safety infrastructure across Auckland.  

5.       Prior to developing the interim Speed Management Plan, AT is seeking input from local boards.

6.       The interim Speed Management Plan will be in place between 2023 and 2026. During 2023, consultation will begin on the first ten-year plan which is expected to be in place from 2024 to 2034.

7.       AT is also currently consulting with public on Phase Three of Auckland Transport’s Safe Speeds programme with many of Waiheke’s local roads being proposed for slower speeds. https://at.govt.nz/about-us/have-your-say/proposed-speed-limit-changes-phase-three/

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation

That the Waiheke Local Board:

a)      provide feedback on the introduction of an interim Auckland Speed Management Plan.

 

Horopaki

Context

8.       AT has made speed limit changes covering 11% of the road network, with changes to a further 27% of the road network proposed. Each local board has received information detailing the roads in their area where changes are proposed under the first three phases of the Safe Speeds Programme.

9.       The Interim Speed Management Plan will continue this process of expanding Auckland’s network of safer roads.

10.     Between March and June 2022, AT will undertake an assessment to consider feedback from elected members, mana whenua, partners and the community against technical considerations related to benefit, cost, and risk. Several checks will then be made, including technical and legal reviews, and funding criteria. This work will inform the options that are presented as part of public consultation, planned to take place in late-2022.

Auckland Council Strategic Alignment

11.     Auckland Council is committed to road safety. The Auckland Plan envisages a transport network free of deaths and serious injuries by 2050. AT deliver the council’s policies in relation to transport. AT developed ‘Vision Zero for Tāmaki Makaurau’ in response to goals within the Auckland Plan and with the council’s Planning Committee’s direction. The interim speed management plan is a key contribution to ‘Vision Zero for Tāmaki Makaurau’.

12.     The interim Speed Management Plan encourages safer speeds that contribute to ‘Te-Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan’ by making roads safer and encouraging greater use of more environmentally friendly transport modes, such as walking and cycling. 

Central Government Alignment: Proposed Land Transport Rule on Setting Speed Limits

13.     ‘Road to Zero’ is New Zealand’s road safety strategy; infrastructure improvements and speed management are its first focus areas. In 2021, Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency consulted on a proposed new ‘Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2021’.

14.     The proposed changes include requirements for local authorities to develop speed management plans and set lower speed limits around schools to improve safety and encourage more children to use active modes of transport.

15.     Central government is considering the proposed rule and a decision is expected in the second quarter of 2022. Waka Kotahi is expected to release a new speed management guide at the same time as the new rule, which will include updated safe and appropriate speed limit ranges for our roads and streets. Under the proposed rule, AT is required to consult on speed limit changes in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

16.     Development of an interim Speed Management Plan is a long process, and this engagement is an early step. AT will engage with the public, other agencies and elected members throughout 2022. 

17.     The current round of local board consultation started in December 2021. In February and March 2022, AT attended workshops with local boards and is now inviting feedback, specifically about roads or areas where there is community demand for safer speeds.

18.     Please note that where roads and schools are already included in conversations taking place within Tranche 2B of the previous speed limits programme, these should not be included in feedback on the interim Speed Management Plan.

19.     Feedback from local boards will contribute to the development of a draft Speed Management Plan that AT will consult on in late 2022. Following public consultation, the AT Board will finalise and approve an interim Auckland Speed Management Plan 2023-2026.

20.     The role of the local board is not to make technical decisions about speed management, but instead to provide the community’s perspective on local concerns and interests related to speed management.


 

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

21.     Auckland Transport engages closely with the council to develop strategies, actions, and measures that support the outcomes sought by the Auckland Plan 2050, Te-Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri the Auckland Climate Action Plan, and other council priorities.

22.     Auckland Transport’s plays a key role in providing attractive alternatives to private vehicle travel, reducing the carbon footprint of its own operations and, to the extent feasible, that of the contracted public transport network. The primary climate change benefit of safe and appropriate speed limits is that they support and encourage greater take-up of walking, cycling and micro mobility by reducing the risk to vulnerable road users, making these modes safer and more attractive. This supports emissions reductions.

23.     Recent surveys of town centres in which speed limits were reduced and safety improvements introduced in the first tranche of Auckland Transport’s speed limit changes demonstrated a link between slower speeds and more people walking or cycling. Surveys found that 19% of local people now participate in at least one ‘active mode’ activity (for example, walking or cycling) more often since the projects have been completed. Increasing the number of people choosing to walk or cycle reduces emissions.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

24.     Auckland Transport engages closely with the council on developing strategies, actions, and measures to support the outcomes sought by the Auckland Plan 2050, Te-Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri the Auckland Climate Action Plan and other council priorities.

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

Local impacts and local board views

25.     The new Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2022, once introduced, will require road controlling authorities to:

·    reduce 40% of their school speed limits by 2024, with all reductions completed by 2030

·    include their proposed speed limit changes and safety infrastructure treatments (including proposed safety camera placements) for the coming ten years into speed management plans

·    implement a new consultation process that aligns with the three-year Regional Land Transport Planning (RLTP) consultation process.

26.     The new rule will remove the requirement to set speed limits through bylaws, enabling a whole-of-network approach that considers safety-related infrastructure improvements, speed limit changes and safety camera placement together.

27.     Taken together, these changes will have a significant impact on Auckland communities, and on the ways that Aucklanders input into decisions around safer speed limits.

28.     In addition to the feedback local boards are invited to provide in response to this report, local boards will continue to be kept informed and up to date as this process progresses.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

29.     Auckland Transport is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its broader legal obligations in being more responsive to and inclusive of Māori.

30.     AT’s Māori Responsiveness Plan outlines the commitment to 19 mana whenua iwi in Auckland to deliver effective and well-designed transport policy and solutions. AT also recognises mataawaka and their representative bodies and desire to foster a relationship with them. This plan is available on the Auckland Transport website - https://at.govt.nz/about-us/transport-plans-strategies/maori-responsiveness-plan/#about

31.     Safe speeds make our roads safer for active road users, which encourages more people to walk, cycle and use public transport. Te Ora ō Tāmaki Makaurau is the well-being framework developed by the Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum in response to Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri. Safer roads contribute to more people walking or cycling, which in turn supports this framework developed by Mana Whenua.

32.     Waka Kotahi’s 2021 study ‘He Pūrongo Whakahaumaru Huarahi Mō Ngā Iwi Māori – Māori Road Safety Outcomesprovides data demonstrating that Māori are disproportionately more likely to be hurt or killed on New Zealand roads. The interim Speed Management Plan is expected to result in significant positive impacts for Auckland’s Māori communities.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

33.     Providing feedback on the development of the interim Speed Management Plan has no financial implications for local boards.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

34.     Providing feedback on the development of the interim Speed Management Plan does not present any risks for local boards.

35.     There is a risk to Auckland Transport if the interim Speed Management Plan is not finalised in time to meet central government requirements. This risk has been mitigated by ensuring that development and engagement on the interim plan begins ahead of the Minister of Transport announcing a final decision on the proposed rule.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

36.     Local board feedback will be used by AT to inform the development of the interim Speed Management Plan.

37.     Between March and June 2022, Waka Kotahi will confirm that the new Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2022 has been approved by the Minister of Transport.

38.     Between June and August 2022, AT will communicate to local boards how their feedback has been taken into account in the development of a draft plan.

39.     In late 2022, AT will undertake public consultation on a draft version of the interim Speed Management Plan. The AT Board will then consider any recommended changes to the draft and approve an interim plan.

40.     The interim Speed Management Plan will be in place between 2023 and 2026. During 2023, consultation will begin on the first ten-year plan which is expected to be in place from 2024 to 2034.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

b)      approve updates to the Joint CCO Engagement Plan 2021-2022.

 

Horopaki

Context

6.       Each local board has agreed an engagement approach with the four CCOs for the 2021-2022 local work programme. 

7.       While the local board approves the Joint CCO Engagement Plan each year, it remains a live document and CCOs are encouraged to keep the document up to date.

8.       Changes are also proposed by Local Board Services, where improvements can be made to all 21 engagement plans, and to keep information up to date.

9.       This report may include the following types of changes:

·    Additional work programme items, and proposed engagement level

·    Proposed changes to the engagement approach with the local board

·    Proposed changes to the extent of community engagement

10.     In addition, the four CCOs provide a quarterly update on projects listed in the engagement plan.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

21.     Updating the Joint CCO Engagement Plan between the local board and Auckland Council’s substantive Council-Controlled Organisations does not have a direct impact on climate, however the projects it refers to will.

22.     Each CCO must work within Te Taruke-a-Tawhiri: Auckland's Climate Action Framework and information on climate impacts will be provided to local boards on a project or programme basis.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

23.     Approving the updated Joint CCO Engagement Plan 2021-2022 is likely to have a positive impact on other parts of the council as well as between the respective CCOs within each local board area.

24.     These plans will be shared with the integration teams that implement local board work programmes and will give council staff greater ongoing visibility of CCO work programmes.

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

Local impacts and local board views

25.     Local board engagement plans enable local boards to signal to CCOs those projects that are of greatest interest to the local board, and to ensure that engagement between the local board and the four CCOs is focussed on those priority areas.

26.     Joint CCO engagement plans also give local boards the opportunity to communicate to CCOs which projects they expect to be of most interest to their communities.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

27.     Updating and adopting the Joint CCO Engagement Plan 2021-2022 may have a positive impact on local engagement with mana whenua and mataawaka.

28.     While both CCOs and local boards have engagement programmes with Māori, the engagement plan will allow a more cohesive and coordinated approach to engagement, with more advance planning of how different parts of the community will be involved.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

29.     The adoption of the Joint CCO Engagement Plan 2021-2022 between the local board and Auckland Council’s substantive Council-Controlled Organisations does not have financial impacts for local boards.

30.     Any financial implications or opportunities will be provided to local boards on a project or programme basis.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

31.     It is likely that there will be changes made to work programme items in the engagement plan during the year, or to the level of engagement that the board or the community will have. This risk is mitigated by ensuring that the document states clearly that it is subject to change, contains a table recording changes made since it was signed, and will be re-published on the local board agenda quarterly, to ensure public transparency.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

32.     The local board will receive the next quarterly update for Quarter Three in June 2022.

33.     A workshop will be held in April to begin development of a new engagement plan for 2022-23.
