Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) receive the May 2022 report from Auckland Transport.

Horopaki

Context

3. Auckland Transport (AT) is responsible for all of Auckland’s transport services, excluding state highways. AT reports on a regular basis to local boards, as set out in the Local Board Engagement Plan. This reporting commitment acknowledges the important engagement role local boards play within and on behalf of their local communities.

Analysis and advice

4. This section of the report contains information about relevant projects, issues, and initiatives. It provides summaries of the detailed advice and analysis provided to the local board during workshops and briefings.

Half price public transport (PT) fares

5. From 1 April, fares across the AT Metro network dropped by 50 per cent, saving passengers an estimated $10 million on bus, train and ferry fares over three months.

6. As well as covering individual trips, the discount covers all AT HOP monthly passes and concessions, and halves the current daily cap from $20, meaning Aucklanders will never pay more than $10 for a day’s travel on the AT Metro network. Total Mobility and AT Local will be included in the initiative.

7. The decision by government to temporarily halve public transport fares and reduce petrol excise duties and road user charges will provide some immediate relief to commuters, particularly those on low and fixed incomes.

Waiata Shores bridge

8. AT approved the additional funding, that was in the order of 50 per cent above the original sum of $50,000 for the offer of services (OoS) received for the feasibility study, While some aspects of the investigation are on-going, AT’s project manager will present to both the Papakura and Manurewa local boards on the three proposed bridge site options.

Ram-raids and bollards

9. Prominent in the media is the significant increase in ram-raids in Auckland. This escalation has not just targeted local dairies and liquor stores but malls and high-end fashion outlets.

10. AT has been liaising with business associations and providing the following guidelines.

11. AT generally does not install bollards outside businesses for building protection purposes, due to the high costs of ongoing maintenance at the expense of the public.

12. However, where a site has experienced ram-raiding or repeated vehicle accidents, AT will consider the installation of bollards near the front of their building at the landowner’s expense.

The requirements are as follows:

· The applicant will need to submit a written application, with details of the incident and either include a police report or insurance claim / recommendation.

· Provide a detailed plan, drawing or picture of the bollards they are wanting to install, with specific details of the location they are wanting to place the bollards.

· The landowner will be responsible for all costs associated with the installation, removal and ongoing maintenance, they must keep the bollards in a good and safe condition.

· The applicant must undertake a proper footpath assessment to ensure the installation of bollards does not interfere or affect any underground utility services.

· Any work undertaken on the footpath must obtain a Corridor Access Request (CAR) permit before digging commences. Details of this process is available on our website: Corridor Access Requests (at.govt.nz)

· The landowner must also obtain and fully comply with any statutory consent requirements, such as building and/or resource consent – which may be required from Auckland Council.

· Auckland Transport reserves the right to withdraw its authorisation if it's determined the footpath site is required for future redevelopment projects. Should this eventuate, the property owner will be given a thirty-day (30 day) notification period to allow for the bollard/s to be removed.

General bollard requirements:

· Bollards should be installed directly outside the building. (Within 500 millimetres of the building).

· The minimum height for bollards is 1000 millimetres.

· Bollards must have a colour contrast to the existing environment. For example, black is not considered a suitable contrast if the background is a dark colour.

· Footpaths need to have at minimum 1.8 metre clearance. Obstacles and hazards must be kept clear of the main travel route for pedestrians - especially for visually impaired (low vision) or blind pedestrians.

· Applicants can contact Loretta Su’a-Chang, Senior Transport Engineer, at Loretta.Chang@at.govt.nz if they require further assistance with the process.

Old Wairoa and Cosgrave roads intersection

13. The intersection of Cosgrave Road and Old Wairoa Road is currently being investigated for safety improvements. The options investigation process for possible improvements is complete and the preferred option is a raised signalised intersection.

14. The proposal will address the current safety and operational issues, provide safer pedestrian crossing facilities on all legs as well as enhance the cycling amenity at the intersection.

15. The next step for the project includes community consultation – with the Papakura Local Board, Ward Councillors, Fire and Emergency and directly affected local shop owners in the first instance - followed by wider community consultation. Detailed design will then be undertaken, incorporating consultation feedback where necessary and appropriate.

16. The intersection is identified as a high-risk intersection with a total of 31 crashes reported at the intersection during the 5-year period of 2016-2020. The majority of the crashes were a result of drivers failing to give way. Additionally, there are no pedestrian facilities at the intersection other than pram crossings on the side roads.

17. Scheme cost estimates are yet to be undertaken but rough order costs are in the order of $1.2 million. Note that this is very much a rough order estimate, and the actual cost could vary substantially.

18. Construction is planned for the 2022/2023 financial year.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

19. AT engages closely with Council on developing strategy, actions, and measures to support the outcomes sought by the Auckland Plan 2050, the Auckland Climate Action Plan and Council’s priorities.

20. AT’s core role is 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.

21. There is a growing global, national, and local need to urgently address the threats posed by climate change through reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The scientific evidence is compelling. In New Zealand the Climate Change Response (Zero-Carbon) Act was enacted in 2019, which requires national GHG emissions to be net-zero by 2050. In June 2019 Auckland Council declared a climate emergency, followed by the endorsement in July 2020 of Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan.

22. Tackling climate change will require a very significant change to the way we travel around our region although the timing and the detail of how this change might unfold are still to become obvious. Climate change targets in the Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) occurred with a strong awareness of central government climate change legislation and Auckland Council climate change targets. Auckland Council through its Climate Plan has committed to a 50 percent reduction in emissions by 2030, the amount required to keep the planet within 1.5°C of warming by 2100.

23. Roughly five percent of Auckland’s road and rail strategic networks are found in areas susceptible to coastal inundation, including parts of the state highway network which are crucial links for freight movements and access to key regional destinations. Over 1,000km (or about 13 percent) of AT’s local road network has recently been identified as vulnerable to a 1-in-100 year flood event. AT is currently identifying and prioritising the risks of climate change to the transport system (assets, services, customers and staff) to permit a more strategic approach to designing and managing our assets in the future.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

26. There are no impacts specific to Māori for this reporting period. AT is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi-the Treaty of Waitangi and its broader legal obligations in being more responsible or effective to Māori.

27. Our Māori Responsiveness Plan outlines the commitment to 19 mana whenua tribes in delivering effective and well-designed transport policy and solutions for Auckland. We also recognise mataawaka and their representative bodies and our desire to foster a relationship with them.

Papakura Local Board

25 May 2022

Formalise direction for Ōpaheke Sports Park users and next steps for the implementation of the Papakura Sports Needs Assessment

File No.: CP2022/06744

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To formalise Papakura Local Board direction to identify users of Ōpaheke Sports Park and confirm the next steps for implementation of the Papakura Sports Needs Assessment, May 2018.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The Papakura Sports Needs Assessment 2018 classifies Ōpaheke Sports Park as a ‘Tier 1’ park and proposes two projects, one of which is to identify future club users.

3. Section 7 of the needs assessment offers a ‘Proposed Future Network’ and identifies issues and opportunities across the 15 sports parks investigated. Ōpaheke Sports Park is highlighted as being ‘central to the network optimisation’.

4. In June 2020 the Papakura Local Board resolved to support outcomes from the position assessment report and proceed to stage 2 – concept design options [PPK/2020/94] for the Ōpaheke Sports Park Clubrooms Project.

5. Concept design options were developed in alignment with potential user requirements identified in the position assessment report, projected local board budgets and structural constraints.

6. Since the June 2020 decision to progress to Stage 2, and post community consultation, staff and the local board have been made aware of a series of current park user issues regarding service requirements for the existing park infrastructure.

7. The major infrastructure issue constraining Ōpaheke Sports Park’s usage and development relates to the sourcing of water and wastewater disposal.

8. While the current infrastructure can meet existing needs when operating as planned, increased activation leading to greater park usage and further park development is constrained.

9. Staff recommend an expression of interest process is undertaken to determine users of the park and their subsequent commitments, requirements, and vision for the park.

10. The expression of interest process will provide clarity to potential users by acknowledging water and wastewater connection issues, facility limitations and community need, will inform potential progress of a multi-purpose sports facility.

11. Outcomes of the process will offer recommendations for investment to further develop Ōpaheke Sports Park and equally, actions to progress the Papakura Sports Needs Assessment in alignment with community need and ensuring:

· Papakura’s parks, sports and recreation facilities are well used

· Services and facilities meet the community’s needs now and into the future

· Communities are supported to achieve their goals and aspirations

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) Approve the scope in Attachment A, for officers to deliver an expression of interest process to identify potential users and their subsequent commitments, requirements, and vision for Ōpaheke Sports Park.

b) Endorse the expression of interest process for Ōpaheke Sports Park as the next step to progress actions identified in the Papakura Sports Needs Assessment.

c) Acknowledge the following factors will inform progress of a multi-purpose sports facility development at Ōpaheke Sports Park:

i. water and wastewater connections;

ii. facility limitations for any development on top of the existing toilet and changing rooms block;

iii. yet to be determined status of future users and the subsequent community need.

d) Support in principle the continued use of Ōpaheke Sports Park by United Cricket Club (Counties Manukau) Incorporated and Counties Manukau Zone of NZRL Incorporated, pending the outcomes of the expression of interest process.

Horopaki

Context

Papakura Sports Needs Assessment 2018

12. The Papakura Sports Needs Assessment was initiated in August 2017 and adopted by the Papakura Local Board in June 2018 [PPK/2018/106].

13. The needs assessment examines the sports park network identifying issues and opportunities for sport and recreation provision. The scope of the needs assessment specifically included direction to investigate whether a multi-purpose sports facility is required at Ōpaheke Park [PPK/2017/185].

14. The needs assessment classifies Ōpaheke Sports Park as a ‘Tier 1’ park and identifies two projects for consideration:

· Ōpaheke Park Future Club Users – short term

· Ōpaheke Future Clubrooms Requirements – short term planning, medium-long term development if considered viable

15. More than 25 sporting groups, secondary schools and churches were consulted in the development of the needs assessment. User group insights were analysed in relation to network provision across 15 sports parks.

16. Key sports park projects were identified and categorised into short term (1-3 years), medium term (4-7 years) and long term (8-10 years) timeframes and assigned proposed actions.

17. Ōpaheke Sports Park was highlighted as being “central to the network optimisation” proposing staged relocations of groups as key actions that spread across several parks and projects.

Ōpaheke Sports Park Position Assessment Report 2020 – Stage 1

18. In September 2019 the Papakura Local Board resolved to allocate $88,000 to investigate a community facility development at Ōpaheke Sports Park [PPK/2019/170].

19. Visitor Solutions were commissioned to carry out the investigation mahi which included the following objectives:

· Analyse the strategic context and alignment.

· Undertake demographic assessment.

· Code engagement – determine willingness to use Ōpaheke Sports Park, and if so, their service requirements.

· Determine whether community need warrants undertaking a feasibility study on the viability of developing clubrooms.

General use of Ōpaheke Sports Park

20. The development of Ōpaheke Sports Park is a work in progress in relation to field utilisation, including markings and goal posts. There are fields categorised as ‘general sport’ for codes utilising rectangular fields and outer fields which are not marked unless requested for competition play.

21. Usage data indicates that some user groups utilise the park for a short period of time or one-off occasions for either training or game play.

22. There has been a mixture of local groups and groups from outside the local board area booking and utilising the park. Several sporting codes have used the park as an overflow ground for training and game purposes.

Workshop 13 April 2022 – Ōpaheke Sports Park update

23. Parks, Sport and Recreation and Community Facilities staff provided an update on facility issues including park utilisation concerns.

24. Staff presented the following priorities in order to maximise utilisation of the park:

i. That a more suitable water supply and wastewater disposal system is installed before the further development of fields, or facilities that require water.

ii. That as many gender-neutral features as practical should be retrofitted to existing changing facilities.

iii. That a formal expressions of interest process be conducted to establish potential users of Ōpaheke Sports Park, their expected level of use, how they may be able to contribute to the park’s development and what outcomes are likely from their use of the park.

iv. That continued investigation into the viability of a multi-use clubhouse at Ōpaheke Sports Park is deferred until the installation of a more suitable water supply and wastewater disposal system is underway, and until a formal expressions of interest process to establish potential users of Ōpaheke Sports Park is completed.

25. The local board requested the following actions be taken:

· That next steps are reported to formalise the board’s direction

o As provided by way of this report.

· Counties Manukau Rugby League (CMRL) are made aware that Ōpaheke Sports Park is available for use and to invite them to submit as part of the expression of interest process

o Staff have discussed existing issues with CMRL and clarified the process that will be taken to formalise users of the park.

· Parks, Sport and Recreation to commence the expression of interest process

o Staff have developed the attached scope for approval, engaged with the regional sports trust to provide assistance and consulted internal staff to be part of the process.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Papakura Sports Needs Assessment 2018

26. The needs assessment proposes a number of key sports park projects and related actions in order to achieve optimal park utilisation across the local network.

27. Section 7 offers a ‘Proposed Future Network’ and identifies issues and opportunities across the 15 sports parks investigated. Ōpaheke Sports Park is classified as a Tier 1 park, highlighted as being “central to the network optimisation”.

28. A series of staged relocations of groups are proposed as key actions for several projects across the network. The use of Ōpaheke Sports Park has the potential to significantly change local provision across multiple existing parks as well as Ōpaheke Sports Park itself.

29. Since the adoption of the needs assessment there has been significant investment into the sport and recreation facility network resulting in several key actions and projects now being complete.

30. The community sporting landscape has changed considerably since the adoption of the needs assessment and the ongoing development of Ōpaheke Sports Park provides a timely opportunity to reassess community need.

31. Successful implementation of further recommended actions, based on partnerships and the reconfiguration of the network, is highly dependent on community buy-in.

32. It is critical to understand community need for the development of Ōpaheke Sports Park and the subsequent effects on local provision before considering further investment. An expression of interest (EOI) process to identify users will provide the requisite community insight to inform next steps for the Papakura Sports Needs Assessment.

33. Recommendation:
b) Endorse the expression of interest process to identify users of Ōpaheke Sports Park as the next step to progress actions identified in the Papakura Sports Needs Assessment. Reaffirming users of Ōpaheke Sports Park will provide clarity on actions identified in the needs assessment, in relation to; Bruce Pulman Park, Drury Domain, Drury Sports Complex, Keri Downs Park, Mansell Field, Massey Park, and Southern Park.

Ōpaheke Sports Park Position Assessment Report 2020 (Stage 1)

34. The development of the position assessment report involved community consultation conducted on the premise of an impending facility development. Fourteen sport and recreation codes were approached and categorised into three groups based on their level of interest following the consultation phase.

35. The Ōpaheke Sports Park Position Assessment Report 2020 was developed to determine whether community need warranted further investigation into the viability of a community facility development.

36. In June 2020 the Papakura Local Board resolved to support outcomes from the position assessment report as follows [PPK/2020/94]:

a) receive the findings report from Stage 1 of the Ōpaheke Sports Park Clubrooms project as attached to the 24 June 2020 business meeting minutes

b) approve the findings from Stage 1 of the Ōpaheke Sports Park Clubrooms Project

c) approve proceeding to Stage 2 of the Ōpaheke Sports Park Clubrooms Project

d) approve the scope for Stage 2 which includes confirming spatial requirements, the concept design, estimated cost of construction and clubroom ownership.

Ōpaheke Sports Park – Concept Design Options 2021 (Stage 2)

37. Concept design options were developed in alignment with potential user requirements identified in the position assessment report, projected local board budgets and structural constraints.

38. The existing toilet and changing rooms block was designed to allow for a second-storey development however it must be acknowledged that design elements are restricted by the existing load bearing capacity.

39. Potential future users should understand the limitations of any design options when considering development on top of the existing toilet and changing rooms block.

40. Since the June 2020 decision to progress to Stage 2, and post community consultation, staff and the local board have been made aware of a series of current park user issues regarding service requirements for the existing park infrastructure.

41. The major infrastructure issue constraining Ōpaheke Sports Park’s usage and development relates to the sourcing of water and wastewater disposal. Noting the existing toilet and changing rooms block is not connected to the mains water supply or reticulated wastewater disposal.

42. While the current infrastructure can meet existing needs when operating as planned, increased activation leading to greater park usage and further park development is constrained.

43. Connecting to the public wastewater and water supply network from the park entrance to the Bellfield development is estimated to cost between $800,000 - $1.2M with additional infrastructure growth charges depending on use.

44. It is recommended that acknowledging these infrastructure issues will enable prospective users identified through the EOI process, to better understand the position of existing and potential future developments at the park.

45. Concept design options were initially assessed against criteria heavily weighted towards sustainability and viability of the development. Given the unresolved water and wastewater connection issues and the related effects on the encumbrance fund earmarked for the facility development, viability of options will need to be reassessed prior to progressing.

46. Community Facilities will continue investigation including progressing conversations with the Bellfield developer and Healthy Waters in order to understand accurate costings, timings and options to proceed.

Recommendation:
c) Acknowledge the following factors will inform progress of a multi-purpose sports facility development at Ōpaheke Sports Park:
i) water and wastewater connections
ii) facility limitations for any development on top of the existing toilet and changing rooms block
iii) yet to be determined status of future users and the subsequent community need

Existing core user groups

47. Papakura Local Board have been made aware of existing infrastructure concerns and field booking difficulties inhibiting maximum use of the park.

48. United Cricket Club (Counties Manukau) Incorporated and Counties Manukau Cricket Association Incorporated have made bookings and utilised the park for training and competition purposes during the summer cricket season since at least 2018.

49. Counties Manukau Zone of NZRL Incorporated (CMRL) have also been a predominant park user since initial use through a summer field booking in 2020 to host a school tag festival.

50. Both United Cricket Club (Counties Manukau) Incorporated and CMRL have, and continue to, utilise the park through the council booking system on an ongoing basis for training and competition play purposes.

51. On 4 December 2021 council received a Landowner Approval application from United Cricket Club (Counties Manukau) Incorporated for indoor and outdoor cricket nets at Ōpaheke Sports Park. Additional information was requested, and the application status is pending until receipt of the information requested.

52. As part of the Auckland Regional Rugby League Facilities Network Plan 2019, CMRL identified Ōpaheke Sports Park as the preferred location for a ‘Home of Rugby League’.

53. The ‘Home of Rugby League’ concept was presented to Papakura Local Board in 2021 at which time the local board informally supported the concept.

54. CMRL have highlighted issues regarding booking allocations and the failure to accommodate multiple users at once and multiple users within the same booking period.

55. CMRL are supportive of the park being multisport and have a good relationship with United Cricket Club (Counties Manukau) Incorporated. They are however requesting assurances over short-term use of fields and mid-term to long-term tenure at the park.

56. The ‘Home of Rugby League’ concept remains an aspiration of CMRL and they wish to further explore how this can be progressed in partnership with willing parties.

57. There has been further use of the park from football, softball and additional rugby league through the Pukekohe Pythons, although this has been less frequent or utilised as an overflow field. A small number of additional casual bookings have also been made by Kiribati Tag Football and Central Counties Sports Association (a collective of schools).

58. Recommendation:
d) Support in principle the continued use of Ōpaheke Sports Park by United Cricket Club (Counties Manukau) Incorporated and Counties Manukau Zone of NZRL Incorporated, pending the outcomes of the expression of interest process. The Ōpaheke Park Position Assessment Report proposes “initial core users, and likely anchor tenants identified include United Cricket and Counties Manukau Rugby League” and recommends “focus should be placed on accommodating the core needs of the anchor tenants, as timelines for other groups are unknown and pose a risk”.

Expression of Interest scope

59. Decisions regarding long term utilisation of the park should be strategic and consider current and future local need in relation to broader regional and sub-regional provision.

60. Since the 2018 adoption of the Papakura Sports Needs Assessment many changes have taken place which affect the aspirations of previously identified potential users. It is an appropriate time to re-engage with user groups who have previously indicated a desire to be located at Ōpaheke Sports Park, and to investigate whether there are now additional user groups that would like to use or be located at Ōpaheke Sports Park.

61. A small number of summer and winter users have signalled their interest in domiciling and/or using Ōpaheke Sports Park.

62. Assessment of user groups’ current participation levels, their core and supporting infrastructure requirements, and an understanding of how they will activate Ōpaheke Sports Park is essential to inform future decision making. Additionally, an understanding of any investment users may be able to contribute to the park’s development will guide planning decisions.

63. Attachment A outlines the high-level process that will be followed including indicative timings for:

· community consultation

· evaluation and analysis of results

· reporting to Papakura Local Board

64. Outcomes of the EOI process will offer recommendations for investment to further develop Ōpaheke Sports Park and equally, actions to progress the Papakura Sports Needs Assessment in alignment with community need and ensuring:

· Papakura’s parks, sports and recreation facilities are well used

· Services and facilities meet the community’s needs now and into the future

· Communities are supported to achieve their goals and aspirations

Recommendation:
a) Approve the scope in Attachment A, for officers to conduct an expression of interest process to identify potential users and susbsequent commitments requirements, and vision for of Ōpaheke Sports Park.

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

Local impacts and local board views

68. There have been a series of workshops regarding infrastructure issues since the last report in June 2020, regarding the development of Ōpaheke Sports Park.

69. At the 13 April 2022 workshop Papakura Local Board received the recommendation to maximise utilisation of Ōpaheke Sports Park, prioritising the following actions:

i) That a more suitable water supply and wastewater disposal system is installed before the further development of fields, or facilities that require water.

ii) That as many gender-neutral features as practical should be retrofitted to existing changing facilities.

iii) That a formal expressions of interest process be conducted to establish potential users of Ōpaheke Sports Park, their expected level of use, how they may be able to contribute to the park’s development and what outcomes are likely from their use of the park.

iv) That continued investigation into the viability of a multi-use clubhouse at Ōpaheke Sports Park is deferred until the installation of a more suitable water supply and wastewater disposal system is underway, and until a formal expressions of interest process to establish potential users of Ōpaheke Sports Park is completed.

70. Some lower cost issues have been addressed through the Community Facilities work programme although a number of facility issues remain unresolved including decisions regarding water and wastewater connections.

71. Community Facilities will continue investigations to resolve infrastructure issues including progressing conversations with the Bellfield developer and Healthy Waters in order to understand accurate costings, timings and options to address the water and wastewater connections.

72. Outcomes from the expression of interest process will enable the local board and council departments to progress planning and investment decisions regarding the broader sport and recreation facilities network as outlined in the Papakura Sports Needs Assessment.

73. Community groups will have reassurances regarding short-term utilisation of the park and an overview of mid to long-term development intent.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

74. There are no known sites of significance to Māori identified on Ōpaheke Sports Park in the Auckland Unitary Plan. An Archaeological Report was included with the consent application and concluded that there are no specific archaeological or heritage features within the Bellfield SHA site or Ōpaheke Park.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

75. Capital development of core infrastructure and facilties to facilitate increased use of Opaheke Sports Park will need to be considered when the Expression of Interest proposals are reported back to the Local Board.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

76. The community sport sector in south Auckland is still responding to the effects of Covid-19. The needs of largely volunteer-based sporting organisations can change quickly and the shift in community need poses a risk to investment.

77. The expression of interest process will seek formal group resolutions of agreed positions in relation to locality and facility use and future needs.

78. Staff will consult the regional sporting organisation, CLM Community Sport, to substantiate information gathered before analysing results and providing advice for next steps.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

79. Following the approval for the expression of interest scope, staff will coordinate the process to engage existing and relevant potential park users.

80. Staff will engage CLM Community Sport to assist with the community consultation phase of the expression of interest.

81. An analysis of the Papakura Sports Needs Assessment will be undertaken to identify opportunities to further progress projects and actions aligned to outcomes of the expression of interest process for Ōpaheke Sports Park.

82. Results of the expression of interest will be presented to the local board in September, accompanied by recommendations for actions to progress the Papakura Sports Needs Assessment.

File No.: CP2022/06092

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To provide the Papakura Local Board with an integrated quarterly performance report for quarter three, 1 January – 31 March 2022.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. This report includes financial performance, progress against work programmes, key challenges the board should be aware of and any risks to delivery against the 2021/2022 work programme.

3. The work programme is produced annually and aligns with Papakura Local Board Plan outcomes.

4. The key activity updates from this quarter are:

· With changes to the government COVID-19 restrictions, a public Papakura Anzac Day 2022 event was able to be reinstated for delivery in April 2022.

Activities with significant issues

35. Papakura Leisure Centre: Access for Gymnastics Club (line 65) - The RSA Gymnastics Club has booked fewer sessions than previous years due to COVID restrictions and the programme has not been delivered under Red of the Covid Protection Framework. 75% of the budget ($2,700) is recommended to be reallocated by the local board to the community grants work programme line.

36. Massey Park Pool: Access for Papakura Swimming Club (line 1651) - Learn to Swim classes did not take place due to vaccination requirements. Full LDI Opex budget of $5,000 is recommended to be reallocated by the local board to the community grants work programme line. It has also been identified that references to ‘Swimming Club’ within the activity name and description of this line needs to be changed to ‘Learn to Swim’.

37. Papakura Local Parks Management Plan (line 1551) - No activity this quarter. The project has been delayed and will start in quarter one of 2022/2023.

38. Takanini Business Support (line 1654) - The Takanini Business Association (TBA) has been removed from the Companies Office/incorporated societies register since August 2021. A contractor has been engaged by the business association to take necessary action to be re-registered and that is expected to take place around April 2022. Until the TBA is registered and completed all necessary governance requirements staff are unable to progress with funding. Staff are requesting this 2021/2022 budget of $20,000 be carried forward to the 2022/2023 local board work programme.

39. Te Koiwi Pond Enhancement (line 706) - Papakura Marae have shared their aspirations for Te Koiwi Reserve, in online hui, to map pathways for a partnership approach to regenerating the pond. Council departments are connected in support and the project is being re-scoped to complement Community Facilities planning and Papakura Marae priorities at this time. $15,000 of the 2021/2022 budget will be spent this year to engage an ecological restoration specialist and rangatahi Māori from Papakura Marae in an ako partnership to co-create a planting and maintenance plan for Te Koiwi Pond grounded in kōrero tuku iho shared by Kaumātua which respects the cultural/environmental aspirations of the community. This mahi will involve community education reflecting Māori voices and connection with wai in a way which ensures the mana of this kōrero is protected. This plan will scope intergenerational infrastructure required to revitalise tikanga, derived from mātauranga, and enabling reconnection with whakapapa through wai. The remaining $17,700 of the 2021/2022 budget will be requested as a carry forward.

40. East Reserve - renew playground and park furniture (line 28558) - A compliance report has confirmed the play equipment is structurally safe. However, visually the equipment looks unwelcoming. Operations will utilise opex to repaint the equipment. The Project Manager will utilise funding from "furniture and fixtures" and "signage" lines to replace existing park sign, bin and seat.

Activities on hold

41. The following work programme activities have been identified by operating departments as on hold:

· Bottle Top Bay Esplanade - renew boat ramp (line 26414). This project was also on hold at quarter two. The previous works to the boat ramp are working well and there is no need for further works in the near term. However, the Coastal team are investigating options for a project with wider scope that would include work on the boat ramp. Next steps involve reassessing the condition of the boat ramp, in conjunction with the Coastguard and the Coastal team.

· Bottle Top Bay Esplanade - renew car park (line 15650). This project is currently on hold and scheduled for delivery in FY2022/2023 and FY2023/2024. The Coastal team are proposing a new project with a broad scope for Bottle Top Bay that will include work on the car park.

· Children's Forest - upgrade playground and associated park amenities (line 20443) - This project phase has been put 'On Hold' as there is a proposed major redevelopment in this general area. The outcome of the negotiations is expected to have a major impact on this play space renewal project. Next steps involve waiting until the redevelopment negotiations have been resolved.

· Park structures - renew park structures (line 18246). This project was also on hold at quarter two.

Changes to the local board work programme

Deferred activities

42. These activities are deferred from the current work programme into future years:

· 935 Papakura-Clevedon Road subdivision - develop new neighbourhood park (line 30165) - A strategic sssessment has been completed in conjunction with the Parks, Sports and Recreation team. The Parks and Places specialist has advised that it is a higher priority to develop a park at the nearby 210 Clevedon Road site, which is better located to serve the needs of the community. It is recommended that this project be deferred for several years and that in the near term a park be developed at 210 Clevedon Road. It is recommended that the board defer this work programme line for several years.

· As noted in the 2021/2022 quarter two performance report, Margan Bush to Children’s Forest – develop new footpaths (line 26175). This line is no longer showing in Attachment A as it has been deferred until later years when budget becomes available.

Financial implications

60. This report is provided to enable Papakura Local Board to monitor the organisation’s progress and performance in delivering the 2021/2022 work programmes. There are no financial implications associated with this report.

Financial Performance

61. Financial comments:

· Operating expenditure of $9.1 million is $555,000 over budget. Asset Based Services operating expenditure (ABS Opex) is $694,000 (9.3%) over budget mainly in asset maintenance as opportunities were allowed and carried out during facility closures. Locally Driven Initiatives operating expenditure (LDI Opex) is $139,000 behind budget with expectations the full year’s funding will be delivered or considered for carried forward funding.

· Operating Revenue of $149,000 is $255,000 (63%) below budget. Community facilities use has been greatly affected at various times and to various degrees by the COVID-19 restrictions and disruptions. However, over this last quarter the revenue loss percentage has not increased, and slightly improved.

· Capital expenditure of $1.87 million for the year to date ended March 2022 is $1.22 million (61%) behind budget. Delivery to plan has been severely disrupted by COVID-19 effects.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

62. While the risk of non-delivery of the entire work programme is rare, the likelihood for risk relating to individual activities does vary. Capital projects for instance, are susceptible to more risk as on-time and on-budget delivery is dependent on weather conditions, approvals (e.g. building consents) and is susceptible to market conditions.

63. The approved Customer and Community Services capex work programme include projects identified as part of the Risk Adjusted Programme (RAP). These are projects that the Community Facilities delivery team will progress, if possible, in advance of the programmed delivery year. This flexibility in delivery timing will help to achieve 100 per cent financial delivery for the financial year if projects intended for delivery in the current financial year are delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.

64. Information about any significant risks and how they are being managed and/or mitigated is addressed in the ‘Activities with significant issues’ section.

Next steps

65. The local board will receive the next performance update following the end of quarter four (30 June 2022).

3. On 25 September 2019 the Papakura Local Board resolved (PK/2019/176) to invite mana whenua to name 34 parks in the Papakura area, as tranche one of Te Kete Rukuruku, the Māori naming of parks and community places programme.

4. The Māori name will be added to the existing park name resulting in a dual name for the site. The English name is not removed.

5. A hui tuku ingoa was held on 27 April 2022 where mana whenua presented the new names to the local board.

6. One site, Kirikiri Reserve, will have a sole Māori name (Kai-pāwhara) and 31 will have dual names. Game Reserve and Keeney Reserve have been deferred to tranche two.

7. This report advises on the adoption of these names, provides information about the narratives that have been received and seeks approval for the installation of bilingual signage in Ray Small Park.

8. Communications to inform the stakeholders and communities about the naming of the parks will commence once the names have been adopted.

9. Where reserves are classified under the Reserves Act 1977, gazettal of the dual park names will also occur once the names are adopted.

10. Ray Small Park is the preferred location for the installation of bilingual signage. A small community event (whakarewatanga) can be organised to acknowledge and celebrate the adoption of these names and unveil the new signage at Ray Small Park.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) adopt 31 te reo Māori names for parks as dual names as outlined in Attachment A

b) adopt Kai-pāwhara as a sole Māori name for the park on Kirikiri Drive, currently referred to as Kirikiri Reserve.

c) receive the narratives that tell the story behind each of the names, as outlined in Attachment A

d) acknowledge that Auckland Council has agreed to enter into a mātauranga agreement that commits to upholding the correct use of the name and to use it only for purposes that have a community outreach or educational purpose (non-commercial use)

e) authorise the gazettal of park names, listed in Attachment A, for parks classified under the Reserves Act 1977, in accordance with section 16 (10) of the Reserves Act.

f) approve Ray Small Park as the location for the installation of bilingual signage.

Horopaki

Context

11. Te Kete Rukuruku (TKR) is a culture and identity programme that collects and tells the unique Māori stories of Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland. It is a partnership between Auckland Council and all 19 mana whenua groups that have interests across the region, led by mana whenua.

12. The objectives of the programme are to:

· build and strengthen relationships with mana whenua

· celebrate the Māori identity which is Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland’s unique identity in the world

· enable te reo Māori to be seen, heard, spoken and learned in our daily lives.

13. A key component of the programme is the reintroduction of ancestral and contemporary Māori names to the city’s parks and places.

14. The adoption of dual or sole Māori names supports and delivers on multiple council policies and plans including:

a. the Auckland Plan which sets out the council’s commitment to support te Reo to flourish

b. the council’s Long-term Plan 2021-2031 strategic priority of the promotion of te reo Māori

c. the Māori Language Policy which includes actions to increase bilingual signage and dual naming.

15. Mana whenua have the mātauranga and the mana for deciding on appropriate Māori names for the whenua and these names should not be subject to public debate. TKR process, as previously agreed with mana whenua and local boards, is that te reo Māori names are researched and provided by mana whenua and public feedback is not sought. In some cases, the Māori names have been attached to the park or area for hundreds of years, well prior to the English name being adopted.

16. Once the names are adopted by the local board, communication and public notification will commence.

17. Māori names may be adopted as either dual names, where the existing English name is retained and nothing is taken away, or sole names where the existing English name is removed and replaced with a sole Māori name.

18. As part of the process one bilingual exemplar park is identified within each tranche. Signage in this park will be reviewed and either upgraded or replaced to include both Māori and English text. Upon project completion, all signage within the selected park will be bilingual.

19. Once the names are adopted signage will be replaced only when it is due for renewal, except for the park selected as the bilingual exemplar park. Should the local board wish to upgrade signage sooner to reflect the new names, funding would be required from its Locally Driven Initiatives budget.

Gazettal

20. The council as landowner can name parks and places by resolution through the exercise of its power of general competence under section 12 of the Local Government Act 2002. Local boards are the allocated decision-makers for the naming of local parks as resolved by the Governing Body 28 June 2018 resolution GB/2018/106.

21. Where land is vested in council and held as reserve under the Reserves Act, the council may name or change the name by notice in the Gazette (s16(10) Reserves Act).

22. As part of the TKR process any sites subject to the Reserves Act 1977 will be gazetted once the local board has adopted the names.

Background

23. The rationale and benefits of naming through Te Kete Rukuruku, as well as the process for identifying and adopting names and narratives, was agreed to by the Papakura Local Board at its business meeting on 25 September 2019. At that meeting, the local board invited mana whenua to provide Māori names and narratives for 34 parks (PK/2019/176). This was included in their FY2020 work programme as tranche one.

24. Game Reserve was included in the first tranche, approved at that meeting, but subsequently removed as it is part of the Children’s Forest and it was agreed that these sites should be named together. Both these sites have been selected and put forward for naming in tranche two.

25. The Māori names were presented to the local board by mana whenua at a hui tuku ingoa on the 27 April 2022 and are now ready for adoption. The names along with a brief narrative outlining the meaning behind them is detailed in Attachment A.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

26. TKR process, as endorsed by the local board, includes the commitment to honour the names presented at the hui tuku ingoa and that they will be adopted as received.

27. Mana whenua requested that one park, Kirikiri Reserve, have a sole name adopted. Kirikiri is a Māori name and is of great significance to mana whenua. Te Ākitai Waiohua have requested the name be removed from this site as this is not the correct location for it. The name may be relocated to a more appropriate location in the future should the opportunity arise.

28. This matter was discussed at a workshop with the local board on 27 April 2022. The board indicated it would support the preference of iwi and remove the Kirikiri name from this park. It is acknowledged that iwi have the mātauranga to understand where names of this importance should be placed.

29. At the hui tuku ingoa on 27 April 2022, Te Ākitai presented a new name for Kirikiri Reserve. They spoke about the importance of the ancestral name Kirikiri, and why it should be removed from this site.

30. Kirikiri appears to have been taken from the road it sits on. The road name is not affected and will remain unchanged.

31. The reserve currently has no signage on site, but the park is currently being looked at for development. The new name Kai-pāwhara is an appropriate name that follows a theme that reflects historical activity from this local area. There is an opportunity to celebrate the new name with the local community at an opening ceremony, once the development of the park is complete.

32. Keeney Reserve has now also been removed from this tranche and deferred to tranche two pending the outcome of decisions around its potential sale. This leaves 32 names for adoption in tranche one.

33. No English names are being removed at this time and all other site names are being adopted as dual names.

34. The local board may subsequently choose to remove an English name from a park leaving a sole Māori name. Consultation with stakeholders and those with an interest in the park is at the local board’s discretion and would be subject to the level of interest and history of the existing name. The local board may wish to consider the Marengo Parkway Reserves names for example given these three separate reserves all have the same English name.

Bilingual signage in Ray Small Park

35. In tranche one the board was offered the opportunity to select one park where all signage will be upgraded to be fully bilingual. This signage is funded from Long-term Plan regional funding for Māori outcomes.

36. At a workshop on 20 May 2020 the selection of a park to receive bilingual signage was discussed. Ray Small Park was identified as the local boards preference and subsequently selected as the most suitable park in tranche one to receive the new bilingual signage.

37. The new signage will include:

· dual language entrance signage, stating the te reo Māori and English names

· bilingual wayfinding, information and bylaw signage

· a bilingual interpretative sign to tell the story behind the te reo Māori name.

38. With a view to spending Aucklanders’ money wisely, existing signs will be reskinned, unless they are damaged or worn and need to be replaced. A signage audit is underway and visuals will be provided to the local board prior to installation.

39. Bilingual signage will visibly raise the profile of te reo Māori in the public domain. It will provide the opportunity to learn the story behind the name as well as making it easy for the public to familiarise themselves with and use te Reo.

40. If the local board does not approve the installation of bilingual signage at Ray Small Park, all signage will remain in its present condition. Signage will then only be replaced either via the renewals programme or, if funded separately by the local board, as a stand-alone project from its Locally Driven Initiatives budget.

41. For the reasons outlined above it is recommended that the local board approve the installation of bilingual signage in Ray Small Park.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

42. There are no substantive climate change impacts relating to this matter.

43. The inclusion of Māori names on signs, when adopted through the TKR programme, is planned to align with signage renewal projects. If renewal is not required existing signs may be re-skinned but in most cases the name is not updated until renewal occurs. This minimises environmental impacts and unnecessary wastage of resource.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

44. Te Kete Rukuruku delivers on Auckland Council’s Māori Language Policy and Kia Ora Te Reo, which is a priority within Kia Ora Tāmaki Makaurau, the organisation’s Māori Outcome Performance Management Framework. It also delivers on Kia Ora Te Ahurea (the Māori culture and identity outcomes) as the programme helps to reclaim Māori identity and our unique point of difference in the world.

45. The programme aligns with the aspirations of the Independent Māori Statutory Board (IMSB), as articulated in the Schedule of Issues of Significance 2017, Māori Plan.

46. TKR is a partnership programme with the naming and narratives being led by mana whenua. It seeks to bring rigour to the process of naming across the council group over time.

47. The programme has also triggered the development of new bilingual signage templates that may be used across the organisation in the future.

48. Community Facilities staff are responsible for the renewal of existing signage and will incorporate the new dual name as and when signage is renewed.

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

Local impacts and local board views

49. Through partnering with mana whenua on this project, it is envisaged that relationships between mana whenua and local boards will be strengthened.

50. The programme’s recommendation of dual naming adds an additional name and narrative to each park, as opposed to taking anything away from the community. Dual language naming signage and bilingual signage help to enrich park user experience.

51. Māori naming, including dual language and bilingual signage in parks is aligned to the Papakura Local Board Plan 2020:

· Outcome five: A partnership with Māori that creates a Papakura where Māori identity, culture and aspirations are embraced.

· Objective: Celebrate Papakura’s Māori identity and culture.

· Key Initiative: Continue to carry out the Te Kete Rukuruku (dual naming of parks) programme to celebrate Māori stories and history in Papakura.

52. When the 32 names have been adopted and their narratives received Auckland Council is permitted to use them for community outreach and educational purposes. The names and narratives may not be used for commercial purposes.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

53. Te Kete Rukuruku continues to establish a best practice approach to Māori naming and the collection and sharing of stories.

54. This programme helps to increase Māori identity and belonging and is aligned with outcomes in the Auckland Plan.

55. The programme contributes towards outcomes from the Te Reo Māori Action Plan 2020-2023. The action plan brings to life the Māori Language Policy (2016) and describes actions to champion a bilingual city where te reo Māori is seen, heard, spoken and learned.

56. Adopting the Māori name and narrative for 32 parks will increase the visibility of te reo Māori in the local board area. It will safeguard the stories of mana whenua and help to ensure their survival.

57. Mātauranga agreements are being developed to ensure that names and stories are protected by the council. It is important that the council upholds their correct use and uses them only for purposes that have a community outreach or educational purpose i.e. non-commercial uses.

58. As a partnership programme, all aspects of providing names and narratives have been led by the mana whenua of Tāmaki Makaurau. This is appropriate as mana whenua are those with the mana in this area to carry the responsibility for Māori naming.

59. There are a large number of resident mataawaka (Māori who live in Auckland but are not in a mana whenua group) who will have a great interest in these new names and narratives. This provides an opportunity to engage with mataawaka Māori organisations and invite them to embrace and help champion the names and narratives once the names are adopted.

Financial implications

60. Papakura Local Board has set aside funding from its Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) budget for this programme. In 2021/2022, the local board carried forward $18,500 in its work programme from the prior financial year to complete delivery of Te Kete Rukuruku tranche one (#3115 in the work programme). The project will be delivered within budget.

61. The local board may choose to hold a small community event (whaka-rewa-tanga) to unveil the bilingual signage in Ray Small Park and celebrate the adoption of the names. The board should advise the TKR team if they wish to hold such an event so this can be organised in liaison with the Civic Events team and budget can be discussed.

62. The local board allocated $21,000 for tranche two this financial year. Now that tranche one is complete work will commence on tranche two and this funding has been identified to be carried forward into the 2022/2023 budget.

63. Updated dual name signage will be delivered over time by Community Facilities teams within existing renewals programmes.

64. Bilingual signage for Ray Small Park is funded by Long-term Plan regional funding for Māori outcomes.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

65. Several risks and issues were highlighted at the outset of this programme or added as the programme has progressed. These risks are carefully managed throughout the process and mitigated in a variety of ways as outlined in the table below:

Potential Risks	Mitigation
Multiple mana whenua having an interest in the parks, with differing views on naming.	Timeframes are extended when required to allow robust discussion amongst iwi. The approach of the programme has been to focus on a quality agreed outcome.
Extended delays in the adoption of Māori names, continuing the predominance of English only names and missing renewal opportunities.	Splitting the tranche to allow for adoption of names as they are finalised rather than waiting for completion of the entire tranche.
Potential negative public reaction to Māori names.	The existing English name can be retained with the Māori name being added. Communications once the Māori names are adopted to ensure a full understanding of the names and their meanings.
High costs of replacement signage.	Signage will be replaced as it comes up for renewal with the only exception being the bilingual signage at Ray Small Park. Signage here will be reskinned if replacement is not warranted.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

66. Where land is vested in the council and held as a reserve under the Reserves Act, the council may name or change the name of a reserve by notice in the Gazette. Where reserves are classified under the Reserves Act 1977, gazettal of the dual park names will occur once the names are adopted.

67. TKR staff will advise Community Facilities teams of the adopted names so any signage being renewed will include the new Māori name.

68. The names will be entered into the council’s website, GIS and SAP systems as soon as possible after adoption and the process for installation of bilingual signs at Ray Small Park will commence, with anticipated delivery in June 2022.

69. If requested by Papakura Local Board, a small community event (whaka-rewa-tanga) can be organised in Ray Small Park to unveil the new signage and celebrate the adoption of the names. This will be organised by the Civic Events team in liaison with TKR and Local Board Services staff.

Communications approach

70. The council’s communications staff will work with the local board and mana whenua, with support from the TKR programme team, to develop and implement a communications plan, specific to the Papakura Local Board.

71. Local board communication channels will be used to get messages out, including Facebook pages and e-newsletters. The local communication team will also work with local boards to develop media opportunities with board members to share the messages with their networks.

Draft Auckland Golf Investment Plan

File No.: CP2022/05621

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek tautoko / support for the draft Auckland golf investment plan titled Where all Aucklanders benefit from publicly owned golf land.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. To increase Aucklander’s access to, and the benefits from, publicly owned golf land, staff have developed a draft investment plan.

3. Staff recommend that you support the draft Auckland golf investment plan titled Where all Aucklanders benefit from publicly owned golf land.

4. There will be increased accountability and transparency from an outcome-focused investment approach and a clear decision-making framework. Implementation of the plan is expected to achieve:

· increased equity, sport and recreation by opening up publicly owned golf land to all Aucklanders

· increased equity and participation by providing a broad range of golf experiences that attract and retain participants and services targeted at low participation groups

· best practice in ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation of publicly owned golf land.

5. If adopted, any future investment would need to align with the plan. The main trade-off is between taking a consistent regional approach to future decision-making and one-off decisions as current leases end.

6. The next step is for the Parks, Arts, Community and Events Committee to consider adoption of the plan in mid-2022. Local board feedback will help inform their decision-making.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) tautoko / support the draft Auckland golf investment plan titled Where all Aucklanders benefit from publicly owned golf land attached to this report (Attachment A)

b) tautoko / support the three policy objectives set in the draft Auckland golf investment plan:

i) increased equity, sport and recreation by opening up publicly owned golf land to all Aucklanders

ii) increased equity and participation by providing a broad range of golf experiences that attract and retain participants and services targeted at low participation groups

iii) best practice in ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation of publicly owned golf land.

c) tautoko / support the decision-making framework set in the draft Auckland golf investment plan, in which future use of publicly owned golf land will be considered in the context of local needs, increased equity, participation and environmental outcomes.

Horopaki

Context

Exclusive use of publicly owned land for golf is not sustainable

Problem definition

7. There are 13 golf courses operating on 535 hectares of council-owned or managed land. This publicly owned land has an estimated value of $2.9 billion in 2018.^{^[1]}

8. Public access to this land, other than to play golf, is limited which means that some Aucklanders are missing out.

9. There are competing demands to provide open space and community facilities. Housing and business land is also in short supply in urban areas.

10. This makes exclusive use of publicly owned land by a single sports code unsustainable.

The draft investment plan builds on community engagement, research and analysis

11. Development of the draft plan involved community engagement, research and analysis.

12. Work commenced in 2016 with the release of a discussion document for public engagement [PAR/2016/11 refers].

13. The investment approach was supported by a majority of Aucklanders who responded to the consultation in 2016. There was strong feedback for council to maximise the benefits from its investment in golf. This is reflected in the draft plan.

14. Following analysis of submissions on the discussion document, the Parks, Sport and Recreation Committee approved development of a draft plan with the following components [PAR/2016/52 refers]:

· a policy statement setting out the vision, investment principles and the scope of council’s investment.

· a decision-making framework that sets how the investment approach will be applied as well as ongoing reporting and monitoring.

15. A range of research was undertaken to support the development of a draft plan, including an analysis of the value of golf to Auckland’s economy and benchmarking to assess the environmental performance of golf courses on publicly owned land.

16. Cost-benefit analyses were undertaken of the 13 golf courses. A tool was developed to assess the costs and benefits of different forms of sport and recreation investment.

17. An intervention logic and decision-making framework were developed and refined following workshops with the Environment and Community Committee and 10 local boards in September and November 2018.

18. Key aspects of the draft plan were workshopped with the Parks, Arts, Community and Events Committee in December 2021.

19. The Parks, Arts, Community and Events Committee considered the draft plan in February 2022 and invited staff to use this document to engage with the community.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Changes are proposed so that all Aucklanders benefit from publicly owned golf land

20. Staff have developed a draft Auckland golf investment plan in order to make publicly owned golf land accessible to Aucklanders and to increase public benefits from this land.

21. It proposes three policy objectives:

· increase equity, sport and recreation by opening up publicly owned golf land to all Aucklanders

· increase equity and participation by providing a broad range of golf experiences that attract and retain participants and services targeted at low participation groups

· best practice in ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation of publicly owned golf land.

22. The proposed outcome-focused investment approach, with a clear decision-making framework, would also increase accountability and transparency.

Increasing public value is an accepted public sector approach

23. The draft plan takes a public value approach as it aims to deliver more public value to Aucklanders from council investment.

24. Public value is an accepted approach. It has informed public policy in New Zealand and other countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom since the mid-1990s.^{^[2]}

25. It focuses decision-making on how best to manage public assets to benefit all members of society.

26. Alternate approaches, where council does not consider the costs and benefits of allocating publicly owned land to golf or public versus private benefits, have been discounted.

27. These factors cannot be overlooked when there are competing demands for open space or community facilities and land supply constraints.

The investment approach is consistent with council policy

28. In 2019, the Environment and Community Committee adopted the Increasing Aucklanders’ Participation in Sport: Investment Plan 2019-2039 [ENV/2019/93 refers].

29. The draft plan is consistent with council policy on sport investment.^{^[3]} It has the same investment objective of increasing equity and participation and the same investment principles as the overarching sport investment plan.

30. A separate plan from Increasing Aucklanders’ Participation in Sport: Investment Plan 2019-2039 was needed because there is more complexity to golf both in terms of costs and benefits. For example, golf courses may operate on marginal land, and they can have other functions such as stormwater management.

31. Increasing environmental benefits were an additional consideration given the large land areas currently allocated to golf.

The draft plan proposes four key shifts to benefit all Aucklanders

32. Four key shifts to the status quo are proposed so that all Aucklanders benefit from increased equity, participation and environmental outcomes.

Figure 1: Four key shifts to deliver increased benefits to Aucklanders

FROM ad hoc historic decisions of legacy councils

Now there is intensive demand for land to accommodate Auckland’s growth

TO a robust investment framework that is focused on increasing benefits to all Aucklanders

Public-owned golf land will be considered in the context of local needs, increased equity, participation and environmental outcomes

DELIVERS increased accountability and transparency

FROM publicly owned land used exclusively by golfers

There is competition over access to open space and some Aucklanders are missing out

TO sport and recreation for all Aucklanders

Opening publicly owned golf land to other users with new play spaces, walking, running and cycling paths and other sport and recreation activities

DELIVERS increased equity and sport and recreation participation rates

FROM asset-based investment in traditional mid-level (development) golf courses

Auckland golf courses meet the needs of a relatively narrow segment of population^{^[4]}

TO a broad golf service offering across the network that appeals to a wider group of people

Providing a broad range of golf experiences and pathways that attract and retain participants with services targeted at low participation groups

DELIVERS increased equity and golf participation rates

FROM variable environmental management of publicly owned golf land

Some golf courses are high users of water, fertilisers, pesticides and energy

TO best practice in ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation that meets clearly defined targets

A kaitiakitanga framework ensures publicly owned golf land is environmentally sustainable, energy neutral and carbon positive

DELIVERS increased natural and environmental benefits

33. If the draft plan is adopted, these changes can be implemented as leases end, or by agreement with current leaseholders.

Decision-makers will consider a range of evidence and options before any future investment

34. The draft plan sets out a clear decision-making framework to guide and inform any future investment and leasing decisions. Its sets out clear objectives and expectations about the public benefits sought from publicly owned golf land.

35. Decisions will be informed by an indicative business case with a full range of policy options assessed against the plan’s investment objectives and principles. This will help inform decisions that local boards make about golf leases.

36. Development of the indicative business cases will commence three to five years prior to the end of a current lease for golf courses on publicly owned land. Eight of these leases end before 2028.

Figure 2: Proposed decision-making framework (see page 21 of Attachment A for a larger version)

Future investment decisions will involve the governing body and local boards

37. If the golf investment plan is adopted, the governing body and local boards will work together to implement the plan. This process will adapt to any changes made to current allocated decision-making responsibilities.

38. Currently the governing body makes strategic decisions concerning asset ownership and future investment to increase sport and recreation opportunities for all Aucklanders. Local boards make decisions on the use of publicly owned land, including leases, and the development of open space to meet community needs.

39. During the development of indicative business cases for individual publicly owned golf land, joint working groups can be set up to consider policy options and implementation requirements. This would ensure close collaboration between decision-makers.

There are some trade-offs associated with adopting the plan and the key shifts

40. Key Shift 1 (a robust investment framework) means taking a consistent regional approach to future decision-making rather than making one-off decisions as current leases end. It also means that a full range of policy options will be considered as part of an indicative business case, rather than simply going through a new lease process.

41. Implementation will require a joint approach involving the governing body and local boards, reflecting and adapting to changing decision-making allocated to local boards.

42. Key Shift 2 (sport and recreation for all Aucklanders) means making space for other sport and recreation activities on publicly owned golf land.

43. In most cases, it is anticipated that these activities can co-exist alongside golf on publicly owned land.

44. Key Shift 3 (a broad golf service offering) could mean making changes to the types of services or facilities available. For example, a driving range and an introductory golf could be provided in place of an existing 18-hole golf course.

45. Any such change would have varied support between new and experienced golfers.

46. Key Shift 4 (sustainable environmental practices) means that all golf courses on publicly owned land will need to meet a minimum environmental benchmark.

47. Six golf courses on publicly owned land would not currently meet this benchmark.

48. Some of them are participating in a pilot run by Auckland Council’s Infrastructure and Environmental Services department to improve environmental practices, but decisions may need to be made as to whether additional council support is provided.

There are strengths and weaknesses to the plan

49. There are strengths and weaknesses to the draft plan as well as some limitations and constraints (see Table 1).

50. A strength of the draft plan is how it has built on public engagement in 2016. The majority of public respondents to a council discussion document sought increased access to publicly owned golf land. They supported walking, running and cycling trails. They also supported use of an environmental auditing tool.

51. Other key strengths are the proposed public value approach and strategic alignment with the Auckland and Māori Plans. It also builds on golf sector strategies and plans.

52. The main weakness is that the draft plan relied on publicly available golf participation data (up to and including data from 2020). Golf New Zealand has subsequently provided more up-to-date data, which shows increases in participation over the last two years.

53. Another weakness is that the draft plan does not specify any level of future council investment. Decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis as leases end. This will allow council to make timely decisions based on community needs as participation trends will change over time. This may however create uncertainty for leaseholders and the wider golf sector.

Table 1: High-level analysis of the merits of the draft plan

We are engaging again with Aucklanders to get their views

54. Staff are engaging with Aucklanders, the sport and recreation sector as well as golf clubs and leaseholders to get their views on the draft plan.

55. A range of mechanisms were used to engage the public, including the People’s Panel survey and public submissions to the Have Your Say consultation, with a cross section of Aucklanders providing feedback.

· Have Your Say engagement ran from 23 March to 20 April 2022. A total of 1,074 people provided feedback on the draft plan. A broad range of ages, ethnicities and locations were represented. However, a large proportion was older, male Pākeha/New Zealand European respondents, or from the Albert-Eden, Devonport-Takapuna and Ōrākei local board areas.

· The People’s Panel ran from 7 to 12 April 2022. A total of 1,070 people completed the survey. A broad range of ages, ethnicities and locations were represented in the feedback.

56. Consultation with the sport and recreation sector as well as golf clubs and leaseholders through a series of virtual meetings runs until 27 May 2022.

The views of Aucklanders in 2022 varied on the draft plan

57. Feedback from the Peoples Panel and Have Your Say varied (see Figure 3):

· 51 per cent of the Peoples Panel ‘support’ the overall goal to ensure that all Aucklanders benefit from publicly owned golf land. A further 28 per cent ‘partially support’ this goal.

· 59 per cent of Have Your Say respondents ‘don’t support’ the plan.

58. There is support across both groups of respondents for the environmental aspects of the plan, in particular Policy Objective 3 (best practice in ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation).

59. On most other aspects of the plan there were opposing views between respondents to the Peoples Panel’s survey and the Have Your Say consultation.

The sport and recreation sector supports the focus on increasing equity and participation

60. Initial feedback from the sport and recreation sector supports the focus on increasing equity and participation in sport and recreation for all Aucklanders as well as golf.

61. They also welcome opportunities for new play spaces, walking, jogging and cycling paths.

The golf sector opposes the draft plan in its current form

62. The golf sector has indicated that they oppose the draft plan in its current form. They are concerned that the draft plan does not reflect the current situation.

63. Golf New Zealand provided evidence that participation rates have increased in recent years and suggested that further investment is required to meet the needs for golf in the future.

To date golf leaseholders have told us that the draft plan gives them more certainty and they are doing many of the things it seeks to achieve

64. Golf leaseholders that staff have spoken with to date think that the draft plan gives them more certainty as to what council would invest in and transparency over future decision-making processes.

65. They also noted that they were already doing many of the things outlined in the plan, including growing participation among young people and women, broadening their golf service offering and increasing environmental benefits.

Staff will analyse all the submissions and will look at what changes need to be made

66. Staff will analyse all of the submissions made on the draft plan and will look at what changes need to be made to the document. This includes updating golf participation data.

Staff recommend that local boards support the draft plan

67. Staff recommend that you support the adoption of this plan.

68. There will be increased accountability and transparency from an outcome-focused investment approach and a clear decision-making framework.

69. If adopted, the plan will help increase Aucklander’s access to publicly owned land.

70. It will also help increase equity and participation in sport and recreation, including golf.

71. Increased natural and environmental benefits will come from a kaitiakitanga framework with ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation.

Climate impact statement

The draft plan aligns with Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Action Plan

72. Getting better environmental outcomes from the 535 hectares of open space currently allocated to golf is critical to Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Action Plan.

73. A kaitiakitanga framework will ensure golf courses employ best practice in ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation.

74. If the draft plan is adopted, leaseholders will need to meet a minimum benchmark covering:

· ecology

· landscape and cultural heritage

· energy consumption and waste reduction

· water resource

· climate change

· pollution prevention.

Local impacts and local board views

There is inequity across age, gender and ethnic groups and people living with disabilities

76. Not all Aucklanders have the same opportunities to participate in sport and recreation or to play golf:

· there is inequity for people living with disabilities

· Asian and Pacific Aucklanders have lower sport and recreation participation rates

· women and young people have lower golf participation rates.

Local boards have been briefed on the draft plan and their views are now sought

77. The draft plan sets out a clear decision-making framework to guide and inform any future investment and leasing decisions. Its sets out clear objectives and expectations about the public benefits sought from publicly owned golf land.

78. If the draft plan is adopted, the governing body and local board allocated decision-making responsibilities will work together to implement the plan. This process will adapt to any changes made to current allocated decision-making responsibilities.

79. Currently the governing body makes strategic decisions concerning asset ownership and future investment to increase sport and recreation opportunities for all Aucklanders. Local boards make decisions on the use of publicly owned land, including leases, and the development of open space to meet community needs.

80. Joint working groups to consider policy options and implementation requirements as part of the development of indicative business cases can ensure close collaboration between investment and lease decisions.

81. Staff held a local board member briefing on 4 April 2022, providing an overview of the draft plan and responded to questions.

82. This report provides an overview of the draft plan as well as a high-level summary of public feedback. It seeks a formal view on the draft plan.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

83. The draft plan aligns with the five key directions that reflect the overarching goals or aspirations of mana whenua and mataawaka as set-out in the Māori Plan:

· Whanaungatanga /… Access to public facilities

· Rangatiratanga /…Māori are actively involved in decision-making and management of natural resources

· Manaakitanga /… Access to clean parks and reserves

· Wairuatanga /… Indigenous flora and fauna

· Kaitiakitanga /…Māori are kaitiaki of the environment.

84. Mana whenua have been provided with a summary of the draft plan and public feedback to assist with their decision-making process about providing feedback.

Financial implications

85. There are no financial implications to the local board for any decision to support the draft plan, its policy objectives and the decision-making framework it outlines.

86. If the draft plan is adopted, the costs of undertaking indicative business cases would be funded within existing department budget.

87. The financial implications of any decisions recommended through individual indicative business cases would be outlined at the relevant time.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

88. Adoption of a plan for future council investment in golf manages risk as well as increasing transparency and accountability.

89. If the governing body and local boards follow the indicative business case process and decision-making framework, then there would be a low risk of legal challenge.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

90. The Parks, Arts, Community and Events Committee to consider adoption of the plan in mid- 2022. The agenda report will include local board feedback.

Local board feedback on Auckland Transport's proposed speed limit changes

File No.: CP2022/05687

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek local board feedback on Phase Three (previously called Tranche 2B) of Auckland Transport’s proposed speed limit changes.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. Auckland Council and Auckland Transport have adopted the Vision Zero goal of eliminating road transport-related deaths and serious injuries (DSI) within the Auckland road network by 2050.

3. Setting safe and appropriate speed limits that recognise the function, safety, design, and layout of roads is a fast and cost-effective way to reduce DSI. Evidence from changes made in 2020 demonstrates that safe and appropriate speed limits are effective in reducing road trauma.

4. Auckland Transport is conducting a phased review of speed limits and recently completed public consultation on proposed Phase Three changes with the community. A list of changes proposed within this local board area is provided as Attachment A.

5. Public consultation on changes proposed in Phase Three closed on 3 April 2022 and a summary of public responses is provided as Attachment B. Local boards are now invited to provide their feedback.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) provide feedback on speed limit changes proposed as part of Phase Three of Auckland Transport’s Safe Speeds Programme.

Horopaki

Context

6. Auckland Transport (AT) is Auckland’s road controlling authority. Part of this role is reviewing and ensuring that speed limits across Auckland are set at levels that are safe and appropriate for road function, safety, design, and their use.

Alignment with Central Government Policy

7. Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency adopted a ‘Vision Zero’ approach to road safety in 2019 when it launched the ‘Road to Zero’ national strategy that aims to reduce the number of people killed and injured on New Zealand’s roads to zero by 2050.

Alignment with Auckland Council Policy

8. 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 (Resolution number PLA/2018/83).

9. Since receiving endorsement from Auckland Council and from the Auckland Transport Board, Auckland Transport has progressively reviewed roads across Auckland and reduced speed limits on many roads.

10. In this phase, the focus has been on town centres, roads near schools, high-risk rural roads, rural marae, and roads requested by the community.

11. Public consultation on the Safe Speeds Programme Phase Three took place from 28 February - 3 April 2022, and included the following measures:

a) flyer mailout to 340,257 properties and PO Boxes near roads where changes to speed limits are proposed

b) advertising in the NZ Herald, community newspapers, specialist, and ethnic media

c) radio advertising on Niu FM, Radio Samoa and Radio Waatea

d) radio interviews and adlibs on Niu FM, Radio Samoa and Radio Waatea

e) media releases

f) social media campaigns

g) an article published in OurAuckland

h) translation of consultation materials into Te Reo Māori, Braille and NZ Sign Language

i) flyers, posters and hardcopy FreePost feedback forms in multiple languages to every library and service centre in Auckland

j) 15 online webinars, including a Mandarin language webinar

k) a community drop-in session on Aotea Great Barrier.

12. The community was able to provide their thoughts via a number of channels:

a) online via http://AT.govt.nz/haveyoursay

b) a paper survey

c) a web-based mapping tool

d) emails direct to the Safe Speeds Programme Team

e) at public hearings held on 6 April 2022.

13. Local boards received localised reports on public feedback in early May (Attachment B) and now have the opportunity to provide feedback on Phase Three proposed speed limit changes within their local board area.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

14. Auckland Transport manages more than 7,300 kilometres of roads for Auckland Council. This includes setting speed limits, and since ‘Vision Zero’ was adopted Auckland Transport has been progressively reviewing and amending speed limits. Changes have been made only after engaging with both the community and local boards.

15. Auckland Transport’s first phase of reviewing and setting new speed limits was developing the Speed Limits Bylaw 2019 (under the Land Transport Act 1998) that enabled AT to set new speed limits for Auckland’s highest risk roads.

16. The impact of the changes made in this bylaw have been significant and support the claim that by setting safe and appropriate speed limits in Auckland, we reduce community harm.

17. Since 30 June 2020, in areas where speed limits were changed, fatal crashes have almost halved (down by 47 per cent) during the 18-month period since this action was taken.^{^[5]}

18. This change was most significant on rural roads where roads with reduced speed limits recorded a 71 per cent reduction in fatal crashes and more than a 25 per cent reduction in serious injury crashes.

19. In selected locations, speed limit changes are complemented by physical speed calming measures such as speed bumps, raised pedestrian crossings, kerb changes and road marking. These physical measures help reinforce the safe and appropriate speed limits and assist with pedestrians and cyclists crossing busy roads. Physical measures are installed based upon risk, with a focus on locations such as town centres, residential areas and roads near schools.

20. It will take time to confirm that these trends are sustained, however this initial impact is promising and indicates the effectiveness of the ‘Vision Zero’ approach. Overseas data records a similar impact on harm reduction and Auckland Transport’s advice to local boards is that the programme is working and should be supported.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

21. The primary climate change benefit of safe and appropriate speed limits is that they support and encourage greater take-up of walking, cycling and micromobility by reducing the risk to vulnerable road users, making these modes more attractive. This supports emissions reductions.

22. In town centres where speed limits were reduced and safety improvements introduced during Phase One of speed limit changes, there has been strong positive feedback, with 19 per cent of people saying they now participate in at least one active mode (e.g., walking or cycling) more often since the projects have been completed. This is a direct contribution towards encouraging people to walk or cycle instead of using cars that produce carbon emissions.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

23. 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 (Resolution number PLA/2018/83).

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

Local impacts and local board views

24. Auckland Transport has held workshops with local boards throughout the various phases of the Safe Speeds programme.

25. Summaries of local submissions on changes proposed in Phase Three were provided to local boards in early May to inform their consideration of this topic.

26. This report seeks feedback from the local board on the proposed speed limit changes within Phase Three of the Safe Speeds Programme.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

27. 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.

28. 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 our desire to foster a relationship with them. This plan is available on the Auckland Transport website at https://at.govt.nz/about-us/transport-plans-strategies/maori-responsiveness-plan/#about

29. 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.

30. Waka Kotahi’s 2021 study ‘He Pūrongo Whakahaumaru Huarahi Mō Ngā Iwi Māori – Māori Road Safety Outcomes’ provides data demonstrating that Māori are disproportionately more likely to be hurt or killed on New Zealand roads. The Safe Speeds Programme is expected to result in significant positive impacts for Auckland’s Māori communities.

31. Engagement with iwi at the AT northern, central and southern transport kaitiaki hui took place on the wider programme during 2021, and in early 2022 to introduce the Interim Speed Management Plan. Detailed engagement with individual rural marae as part of Phase Three commenced mid-2021 and is ongoing, with each marae typically requiring a tailored approach that takes into account localised safety issues.

32. Mana whenua are, in general, supportive of the Safe Speeds Programme and positive safety, community and environmental outcomes arising through safe and appropriate speed limits. There is in particular strong engagement and support for the rural marae workstream which forms part of Phase Three.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

33. Although there are no specific financial implications arising from local boards providing feedback on the Safe Speeds Programme this programme has considerable financial implications.

34. In 2017, the social cost of road harm in Auckland was about $1.1 billion.^{^[6]} These costs are paid by all Aucklanders. There is the cost of health care for those injured and - for some - lifetime rehabilitation and support. There is a cost to families, businesses and the region of those who can no longer live and work as they did before due to road deaths and serious injuries.

35. Reducing the harm caused by road accidents impacts on the community by reducing hospital costs, insurance costs and Accident Compensation Corporation costs all of which are of direct financial benefit to the communities that local boards represent.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

36. Delays due to Covid-19 and lockdown in the Auckland Region have added complexity to both public consultation and implementation timelines. The following measures were undertaken to ensure a quality engagement process:

· The consultation length was extended from four to five weeks.

· The number of online events during the consultation was significantly increased.

· Digital advertising spend was increased and included Mandarin language public webinars and social media advertising.

37. Steps have also been taken to ensure flexibility in the implementation timeline.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

38. The new speed limits are proposed to come into force at the end of November 2022.

39. The November 2022 date may need to be revised due to the impacts of Covid-19 and to take into account consultation feedback. Local boards will be kept up to date if any changes are made.

File No.: CP2022/06478

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To provide local boards with:

· a brief overview of the draft National Adaptation Plan (the Plan), including a strategic overview, roles and responsibilities for local government, and a summary of critical and supporting actions

· a brief overview of proposals for managed retreat and flood insurance

· likely themes for Auckland Council’s submission

· the timeframes for developing Auckland Council’s submission and opportunities to provide input.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. Auckland Council is preparing for a submission on the draft National Adaptation Plan which was released by the Ministry for the Environment on 27 April 2022 for public consultation. The deadline for submissions is 3 June 2022.

3. The submission will be informed by the council’s adopted Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan, Auckland Council’s climate change commitments and previous relevant consultation submissions.

4. The submission will focus on the extent to which the draft National Adaptation Plan enables and/or inhibits climate change adaptation action for Auckland Council. The submission is likely to set out potential gaps and concerns for Auckland Council. In particular, the role and responsibilities of local government in relation to the Plan, and the extent to which critical actions outlined in the Plan support Auckland Council to fulfil its defined legislative roles and responsibilities. Both risks and opportunities for central government will be highlighted.

5. In addition, views and perspectives on managed retreat, flood insurance and associated critical issues to be considered in the development of new legislation will be explored.

6. To meet the submission deadline of 3 June 2022, delegated authority to approve the council’s final submission outside a scheduled committee meeting will be sought at a Governing Body meeting on 26th May.

7. A draft submission will be circulated on 18 May 2022 to Environment and Climate Change Committee members, local board members, the Tāmaki Makaurau Mana Whenua Forum and Iwi Chairs.

8. Feedback received from Environment and Climate Change Committee members by 25 May will be considered for incorporation into the final submission.

9. Feedback received from local boards, the Tāmaki Makaurau Mana Whenua Forum and Iwi Chairs by 27 May 2022 will be appended to the final submission.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a) provide feedback on the draft National Adaptation Plan and managed retreat to be appended to Auckland Council’s submission.

Horopaki

Context

11. Te mahere urutaunga ā-motu (tuhinga hukihuki): draft national adaptation plan (NAP) is the first central government-led adaptation plan for Aotearoa/New Zealand. The NAP presents an all-of government approach, that maps out a range of ‘critical actions’, ‘supporting actions’ and ‘proposed actions’ for the next six years.

12. The NAP will prepare central government, local government, businesses, industry, iwi/Māori and communities to adapt to effects associated with unavoidable climate change that are occurring and will continue to occur. The NAP will sit alongside the Emission Reduction Plan, which Auckland Council has already made a submission on.

13. The NAP is required under the Climate Change Response Act 2002, to set out government’s approach to adapting to the effects of climate change. Under this Act, the NAP must take into account:

· the economic, social, health, environmental, ecological, and cultural effects of climate change, including effects on iwi and Māori

· the distribution of the effects of climate change across society, taking particular account of vulnerable groups or sectors

· the ability of communities or organisations to undertake adaptation action, including how any action may be funded

· scientific and technical advice.

14. The NAP is preceded by several pivotal government climate reports, namely the Climate Change Adaptation Technical Working Group Report (2018) and National Climate Change Risk Assessment 2020 (NCCRA).

15. The NAP responds to both reports with a particular emphasis on shaping regulatory frameworks and institutions to align with the changing climate context, aligning statutory and policy directions to account for changing risks, establishing coordination across government and with sectors, bringing together scattered climate information and supporting access to climate data sets and information.

16. The NAP also responds directly to the forty-three priority climate risks outlined in the NCCRA. Of these forty-three risks, the NCCRA identified ten most significant risks that require urgent action within the next six years to reduce their impacts. The key risk areas of focus include, natural environment, homes, buildings and places, infrastructure, communities, economy and financial systems, and governance. A summary of the NCCRA can be found at https://environment.govt.nz/what-government-is-doing/areas-of-work/climate-change/adapting-to-climate-change/first-national-climate-change-risk-assessment-for-new-zealand/

17. Consultation is also being undertaken on problems and key policy issues in relation to flood insurance and managed retreat. This report also gives a brief overview of these two issues.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Summary of National Emissions Reduction Plan discussion document

Purpose

18. The overarching vision of the NAP is:

· ‘our people, places and systems are resilient and able to adapt to the effects of unavoidable climate changes in a fair, low-cost and ordered manner’

19. The goals of the NAP are threefold:

· reduce vulnerability to the impacts of climate change

· enhance adaptive capacity and consider climate change in all decisions at all levels

· strengthen resilience to climate change.

20. The above goals have three key areas of focus:

· reform institutions to be fit for a changing climate

· provide data, information, tools and guidance to allow everyone to assess and reduce their own climate risks

· embed climate resilience across government strategies and policies.

21. The actions identified in the NAP focus on six outcome areas discussed further below.

· system-wide

· natural environment

· homes, buildings and places

· infrastructure

· communities

· economy and finance.

22. Each outcome area has a set of objectives to address the risks for that area. Each objective has one or more actions to achieve that objective. The actions are categorised as critical actions, supporting actions and future actions.

23. Treaty of Waitangi responsiveness is included through the support for a Māori based framework, known as Rauora (appended). This is complemented by a series of actions that specifically target Māori and others that will be significant to Māori. Notably, one key action is ‘establishing a foundation to work with Māori on climate actions’. There are three main components to this action. Firstly, funding for Māori partnership and representation. The purpose of this is to enable strategic input from Māori and to advance equitable governance arrangements over the emissions reduction plan and the NAP. Additionally, there is funding to support Māori to define, measure and implement a national Māori climate strategy and action plan. Lastly, support will be afforded to kaupapa Māori, tāngata Māori actions and solutions for the climate emergency.

24. An Interdepartmental Executive Board is being established to oversee the emissions reduction plan and NAP. The Board will monitor and report on overall progress. The Climate Change Response Ministers Group will oversee the plan and drive progress.

25. The NAP will be monitored by He Pou a Rangi – Climate Change Commission. A bi-annual monitoring and evaluation report will be submitted by the Commission to the Minister of Climate Change. This process provides an opportunity for the Government to review and adjust the actions and manage changing uncertainty and risk. Beyond, the findings will also contribute to New Zealand’s international commitments to report on New Zealand’s progress towards building resilience.

Roles and responsibilities for local government outlined in the draft National Adaptation Plan

26. Responsibility shared by all: The NAP identifies that responsibility for adaptation will be shared by all New Zealanders and that central government will not bear all the risks and costs. Risk and costs will be shared between asset or property owners, their insurance companies, their banks, local government and central government.

27. Roles of different sector groups: The NAP provides an overview of the roles that different sectors of society including central government, local government, iwi/Māori, private sector, community and individuals and academia play.

28. Local government at front line: The NAP recognises that local government (city, regional, district and unitary councils) is on the front line in preparing for and dealing with climate impacts and risks. The role of local government is outlined in the NAP as being centred around the following:

· local government have statutory responsibilities to make key decisions on how to use and manage land and other natural resources to avoid and/or mitigate impacts of natural hazards

· responsibility to plan for and invest in improving community resilience

· local government own a significant amount of assets, including infrastructure and forests that are all at risk

· for most communities, local authorities are the government bodies that are closest to their needs and represent local views. Examples of this connection include the role of local authorities in land-use planning, water resources, three waters services, flood risk management, biodiversity and biosecurity, roading and emergency management

· local government enhances community resilience through public education and local planning processes

· responsiveness to iwi and Māori groups and other community groups

· links to the private sector with a reliance on supply chains, production systems and a thriving economic environment.

29. Priority risks for local government: The plan outlines water security, communities and natural ecosystems as priority risk areas for local government. Additionally, new and changing legislation will impact the role of local government.

30. Central role: Local government plays a central role in managing natural hazard risks, which the impacts of climate change are contributing to increasing risk and vulnerability. Councils also have responsibilities for civil defence and emergency management and provide a critical link between climate change adaptation policy and communities. These links are established through its planning and emergency management functions and community engagement.

31. NAP response: In response to the above priority risk areas for local government, the NAP responds in the following ways:

· supports local government to take adaptation action, and outlines a programme of work to provide guidance and resources to encourage action

· aims to help local government plan for future impacts and not just respond to events as they occur

· takes a long-term view by ensuring governance and decision-making frameworks are fit for purpose and climate resilience is integrated into government strategies and policies

· aims to build coordination and collaboration between central and local government, communities, iwi/Māori and businesses as we work together on innovative and effective adaptation solutions.

32. The objectives and actions which respond to the various risk areas are summarised in the following section of this memorandum.

Critical and supporting climate actions

33. The climate actions are organised under six main sections: System-wide; Natural Environment; Homes, Buildings and Places; Infrastructure ; Communities and Economy and Finance . A full detailed outline of actions is included in Appendix 3 of the NAP.

34. The actions are categorised as critical actions, supporting actions and future actions.

35. System-Wide Actions (p 25- 38)

· there are three main objectives that shape the actions in this chapter. The objectives are centred around appropriate frameworks and settings to enable people and communities enabling access to information and data sets to manage their own risks, the development of tools and guidance governance; and the embedding of climate resilience. These actions seek to establish the foundation for adaptation action in this first NAP

· critical actions include legislative changes over the next six years: reform of the resource management system (2022-2023); legislation to support managed retreat (2022-2025), reform institutional arrangements for water services (2022-2025); modernise the emergency management system (2022-2028); and a review of the future of local government (2022-2023)

· a range of supporting actions are also outlined in the following areas: establishing a foundation to work with Māori on climate actions; natural hazards; natural disaster resilience; emergency management; and establishment government oversight and coordination.

36. Natural Environment (p 43-51)

· there are three main objectives that shape the actions of this chapter. The objectives are centred around healthy ecosystems, robust biosecurity to reduce new pests and diseases and working with nature to build climate resilience

· the actions are designed to achieve these objectives and address the natural environment risks in the NCCRA. In particular, they address the risks to:

§ risks to coastal ecosystems, including the intertidal zone, estuaries, dunes, coastal lakes and wetlands, due to ongoing sea-level rise and extreme weather events

§ risks to indigenous ecosystems and species from the enhanced spread, survival and establishment of invasive species due to climate change.

37. Homes Buildings and Places (p53-60)

· there are four main objectives to this chapter that shape the actions. The objectives are centred around climate resilient homes and buildings that meet social and cultural needs, new and existing places are planned and managed to minimise risks to communities, strengthening of Māori connection to whenua and places of cultural significance, threats to cultural heritage sites are understood and impacts minimised

· the actions are designed to achieve these objectives and address the risk to buildings due to extreme weather events, drought, increased fire weather and ongoing sea level rise

· other risks addressed through these actions include risks to:

§ Māori social, cultural, spiritual and economic wellbeing from loss and degradation of lands and waters, as well as cultural assets such as marae

§ Māori and European cultural heritage sites due to projected ongoing sea-level rise, extreme weather events and increasing fire weather.

38. Infrastructure (p63-70)

· there are three main objectives that shape the actions to this chapter. The objectives are centred around reducing vulnerabilities to assets exposed to climate change, ensuring all new infrastructure is fit for climate change, and the use of renewal programmes to improve climate adaptative capacity

· the actions in this chapter are designed to achieve these objectives and address the built environment risks in the NCCRA

· in particular, they address the risk to potable water supplies (availability and quality) due to changes in rainfall, temperature, drought, extreme weather events and ongoing sea-level rise.

39. Communities (p74-81)

· there are four main objectives that shape the actions to this chapter. The objectives are centred around enabling communities to adapt, supporting vulnerable people and communities, support communities when disrupted and displaced, a health system that is prepared and can support vulnerable communities affected by climate change

· the actions are designed to achieve these objectives and address the human domain risks in the National Climate Change Risk Assessment (NCCRA). In particular:

§ social cohesion and community wellbeing are at risk due to displacement of individuals, families and communities due to climate change impacts

§ that climate change could exacerbate existing inequities and creating new and additional inequities due to differential distribution of climate change impacts.

40. Economy and Finance (p84-88)

· there are two main objectives that shape the actions of this chapter. The objectives are centred around supporting sectors, businesses and regional economies to adapt and economic stability and growth through a resilient financial system. The actions are varied and include for example a focus on freight and supply chain, fisheries reform, aquaculture, climate-related disclosure and the regulating financial entities.

Managed retreat

41. The Ministry for the Environment is also consulting on a high-level framework for a managed retreat system, and related insurance matters.

42. These two issues relate to the following critical actions within the NAP:

· reform the Resource Management System

· pass legislation to support managed retreat

· develop options for home flood insurance issues.

43. Five key objectives and six principles have been identified to guide the development of managed retreat legislation (the Climate Adaptation Act). The consultation documentation also identifies:

· a high-level process for managed retreat

· roles and responsibilities, with specific reference to local government

· issues associated with property transfer (including consideration for Māori land)

· implications for Māori.

44. Feedback is also sought on the interaction of insurance with managed retreat.

45. For local government, the potential risks and costs associated with managed retreat and liabilities associated with flood insurance are likely to be key discussion points.

Likely themes for Council’s submission

46. Council’s submission on the NAP will focus on the extent to which the NAP enables and/or inhibits climate adaptation for Auckland Council.

47. In particular, the role and responsibilities of local government in relation to the NAP, and the extent to which critical actions outlined in the NAP support Auckland Council to fulfil their defined legislative roles and responsibilities. Both risks and opportunities will be highlighted.

48. The submission will also consider council’s views and perspectives in relation to the extent that the NAP enables and/or inhibits their current and future commitments to mana whenua.

49. The submission will also consider managed retreat, insurance and associated critical issues to be considered in the development of new legislation for managed retreat.

Climate impact statement

50. The National Adaptation Plan has the potential to strongly influence Auckland’s ability to take a precautionary approach to preparing for climate change, as adopted by council through Te Tāruke -ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland's Climate Plan.

51. Council’s submission to the NAP consultation document can reiterate its position and advocate for a NAP that places Auckland in the best position to achieve its, and Aotearoa’s adaptation goals.

Local impacts and local board views

53. Local authorities will play are key role in implementation of the proposed National Adaptation Plan, as they:

· are the closest government bodies to communities and represent local views

· have a responsibility to plan for and invest in improving community resilience

· enhance community resilience through public education and local planning processes.

Local board views are being sought on the draft National Adaptation Plan and managed retreat and will be appended to council’s final submission.

54. The consultation documentation Kia urutau, kia ora: Kia āhuarangi rite a Aotearoa – Adapt and thrive: Building a climate-resilient New Zealand, which summarises consultation on the draft National Adaptation Plan and managed retreat, is appended to this document and can be downloaded at https://environment.govt.nz/publications/adapt-and-thrive-building-a-climate-resilient-aotearoa-new-zealand-consultation-document/.

55. Additional information on engagement, including a video summary of the draft National Adaptation Plan can be found at https://environment.govt.nz/what-you-can-do/have-your-say/climate-change-engagement/

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

56. The National Climate Change Risk Assessment and the NAP acknowledge that all risks are relevant to Māori and some may disproportionately affect certain whānau, hapū and iwi, as well as Māori interests, values, practices and wellbeing. They also recognise the Government’s responsibility to give effect to Te Tiriti principles.

57. The NAP draws on key concepts of the Rauora framework (Attachment 3) that brings together Māori values and principles into an indigenous worldview (te ao Māori) of climate change, and is complemented by a series of actions that specifically target Māori to enable strategic input and advance equitable governance. This aligns well with the direction in Te Tāruke -ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland's Climate Plan.

58. Feedback on the draft National Adaptation Plan and managed retreat is being sought from the Tāmaki Makaurau Mana Whenua Forum and Iwi Chairs, and will be appended to the council’s final submission.

Financial implications

59. To work effectively, the future system requires appropriate funding mechanisms for its different roles and activities.

60. The MfE is exploring what provisions and guidance can be provided in the future system, to set clear expectations regarding who should pay for what, and to support the availability and use of appropriate funding tools. Proposals will use existing guidance on charging in the public sector and look at applying this to the context of the future central government-led adaptation plans.

61. Implementation and operation of the national adaptation plan will require significant investment from the council. Central government’s approach to sharing these costs is unclear. These costs will be driven by factors such as the transition from the current system, establishment and support of joint committees, development of new plans and strategies, changed workforce needs, and increased legal action. In addition, there are likely to be impacts on the ways the council approaches financial and infrastructure planning.

Risks and mitigations

62. There is little risk in making a submission on the consultation on the NAP.

63. Risks in relation to local government’s role in implementation of the NAP, e.g., funding and financing, will be considered as part of council’s response.

Horopaki

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.
