Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) receive the July 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.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

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.

Safety improvement projects

5. Three safety improvements projects are underway in the road corridor running between Grand Vue Road and Alfriston Road. In addition, there are technical issues with the Dennis Avenue and Davis Avenue intersection. Each project is at different stages of their implementation, and these are summarised below.

Location	Project	Status
Grand Vue/Hill Roads intersection	Intersection improvements	Modelling of traffic surveys
Hill/Claude Roads	Signalisation	Consultation analysis
Claude/Alfriston Roads	Signalisation	Utility issues resolved, preconstruction planning underway
Dennis and Davis Avenues	Intersection Improvements	Following the workshop, two further matters were investigated, the location of the crossing by the school and a commercial driveway near the intersection. These will be reported on at the August meeting.

6. Note that until the implication of the changes to the 2022/2023 budget are worked through timeframes may change.

Waiata Shores bridge

7. 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 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.

8. There was a joint presentation to the two boards at a workshop on 24 May 2022. The boards were updated on the investigation to date. A further joint workshop was held on 7 July. This presented a number of options, and these were assessed in terms of a number of factors including, iwi views, location and natural hazards.

9. Another workshop is likely needed before a formal report can be presented to the local boards in September.

Event and promotional banners

10. Network Visuals has been AT's single provider of event and promotional banners across the city since early 2021. The system is working well. There is one booking calendar managed regionwide, and all parties know the process.

11. Before a single provider existed, there was a lack of understanding about ownership of sites and assets and conflict between citywide events and local campaigns.

12. Benefits include knowing who requests banners or flags, when and where banners are being displayed and ensuring banners are correctly displayed. Also, AT now has confidence in the quality of banners being manufactured.

13. Recently AT’s BID relationship manager spoke to the manager of the Manurewa Business Association who had a different supplier. AT’s BID relationship manager was working with Network Visuals and their contractors to resolve an issue and replace the banners. Going forward, the manager of the Manurewa Business Association will use the existing process that AT has in place.

14. While the parties agree that having one provider delivers advantages, including regionwide planning and consistent standards, there are concerns that one provider is not consistent with a local procurement approach.

Public Transport patronage and safety

15. Since New Zealand moved to the COVID-19 protection framework orange traffic light, AT has observed very variable patronage numbers on its public transport services. As people started to return to work analysis has been undertaken comparing equivalent weeks in 2019 and 2022. There are a number of factors affecting this including:

· half price fares

· COVID-19 is still in the community

· services cancelled due to driver shortages

· people working from home at least one or two days a week

· concerns over personal safety.

16. The concern is that at the end of August the half price fares are due to be halted, which is likely to impact patronage. The matters AT can influence are namely safety and service reliability, and a number of measures are being worked through. The local board was updated on this at the 7 July 2022 workshop.

Te Mahia Station amenity

17. The local board was updated at a workshop on 7 July 2022. The update included:

· safety and lighting assessment

· further iwi engagement

· Fletcher’s contribution

· planned timing on next steps.

18. Construction is likely to commence in mid-August 2022.

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 (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. Auckland Council through its C40 obligations and the Auckland 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.

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 with 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.

21 July 2022

Approval for new public road names at 10 Kerrs Road, Manukau Central

File No.: CP2022/09894

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek approval from the Manurewa Local Board to name three new public roads, created by way of subdivision at 10 Kerrs Road, Manukau Central.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines (the Guidelines) set out the requirements and criteria of the council for proposed road names. The guidelines state that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider /developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the local board’s approval.

3. On behalf of the developer and applicant, Whenua Whanake Limited Partnership, agent Eli Ghalayini of Avant EPCF Construction Ltd has proposed the names presented below for consideration by the Local Board.

4. The proposed road name options have been assessed against the Guidelines and the Australian & New Zealand Standard, Rural and Urban Addressing, AS NZS 4819:2011 and the Guidelines for Addressing in-fill Developments 2019 – LINZ OP G 01245 (the Standards). The technical matters required by those documents are considered to have been met and the proposed names are not duplicated elsewhere in the region or in close proximity. Mana whenua have been consulted in the manner required by the Guidelines.

5. The proposed names for the three new public roads at 10 Kerrs Road are:

Road 1

· Erina Road (Applicant Preferred)

· Reremoana Road (Alternative 1)

· Waikahina Road (Alternative 2)

Road 3

· Raukohekohe Road (Applicant Preferred)

· Te Raukohe Road (Alternative 1)

· Te Tiringa Road (Alternative 2)

Road 4

· Te Tihi Street (Applicant Preferred)

· Heta Street (Alternative 1)

· Te Kawei Street (Alternative 2)

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) approve the following road names for the three new public roads created by way of subdivision at 10 Kerrs Road, Manukau Central, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (road naming reference RDN90100938 and resource consent references BUN60343584 and SUB60343586):

i) Erina Road – Road 1

ii) Raukohekohe Road – Road 3

iii) Te Tihi Street – Road 4.

Horopaki

Context

6. Resource consent reference BUN60343584 (subdivision reference number SUB60343586) was issued in June 2020 for the construction of 132 freehold lots including public roads.

7. Site and location plans of the development can be found in Attachments A and B.

8. In accordance with the Standards, any road including private ways, commonly owned access slots (COALs), and right of ways, that serve more than five lots generally require a new road name in order to ensure safe, logical and efficient street numbering.

9. Therefore, in this development, all of the new public roads require a road name because they serve more than five lots. This can be seen in Attachment B, where the roads to be named (Roads 1, 3 and 4) are highlighted.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

10. The Guidelines set out the requirements and criteria of the council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming across the Auckland Region. The Guidelines allow that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the local board’s approval

11. The Guidelines provide for road names to reflect one of the following local themes with the use of Māori names being actively encouraged:

· a historical, cultural, or ancestral linkage to an area; or

· a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity theme or feature; or

· an existing (or introduced) thematic identity in the area.

12. Theme: Mana whenua iwi have stated that the road names are for the Wirihana residential development, which is itself named after a Te Ākitai Waiohua tupuna.

Proposed name	Meaning (as described by applicant)
Road 1
Erina Road (Applicant preferred)	Younger sister of Te Wirihana, passed away in 1863
Reremoana Road (Alternative 1)	Alternate name for daughter of Te Wirihana
Waikahina Road (Alternative 2)	Great, great grandaunt of Te Wirihana
Road 3
Raukohekohe Road (Applicant Preferred)	Wife of Te Wirihana
Te Raukohe Road (Alternative 1)	Alternate name for wife of Te Wirihana
Te Tiringa Road (Alternative 2)	Great granduncle of Te Wirihana, brother of Wairori
Road 4
Te Tihi Street (Applicant Preferred)	Surname of Te Wirihana’s grandfather Pepene Te Tihi and granduncle Heta Te Tihi
Heta Street (Alternative 1)	Granduncle of Te Wirihana, Heta Te Tihi
Te Kawei Street (Alternative 2)	Te Wirihana descendant – Te Napi whanau

13. Assessment: All the name options listed in the table above have been assessed by the council’s Subdivision Specialist team to ensure that they meet both the Guidelines and the Standards in respect of road naming. The technical standards are considered to have been met and duplicate names are not located in close proximity. It is therefore for the local board to decide upon the suitability of the names within the local context and in accordance with the delegation.

14. Confirmation: Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable for use at this location.

15. Road Type: ‘Road’ and ‘Street’ are an acceptable road type for the new public roads, suiting the form and layout of the roads.

16. Consultation: Mana whenua were consulted in line with the processes and requirements described in the Guidelines. Additional commentary is provided in the Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori section that follows.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

17. The naming of roads has no effect on climate change. Relevant environmental issues have been considered under the provisions of the Resource Management Act 1991 and the associated approved resource consent for the development.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

18. The decision sought for this report has no identified impacts on other parts of the council group. The views of council-controlled organisations were not required for the preparation of the report’s advice.

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

Local impacts and local board views

19. The decision sought for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate local impact beyond those outlined in this report.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

20. To aid local board decision making, the Guidelines include an objective of recognising cultural and ancestral linkages to areas of land through engagement with mana whenua, particularly through the resource consent approval process, and the allocation of road names where appropriate. The Guidelines identify the process that enables mana whenua the opportunity to provide feedback on all road naming applications and in this instance, the process has been adhered to.

21. The applicant has consulted with Te Ākitai Waiohua as mana whenua iwi and have been gifted the names listed in Sections 5 and 12 of this report. This is confirmed in an email dated Friday 10 June 2022 from the applicant to the council and copied to Te Ākitai Waiohua Trust.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

22. The road naming process does not raise any financial implications for the council.

23. The applicant has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed accordingly once approval is obtained for the new road names.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

24. There are no significant risks to the council as road naming is a routine part of the subdivision development process, with consultation being a key component of the process.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

25. Approved road names are notified to LINZ which records them on its New Zealand wide land information database. LINZ provides all updated information to other users, including emergency services.

Local board feedback on the strategic direction of Auckland's Future Development Strategy

File No.: CP2022/09807

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek local board feedback on the strategic approach to the Future Development Strategy (FDS).

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The purpose of the FDS is to provide the basis for integrated, strategic and long-term planning. It should assist with the integration of land use and infrastructure planning and funding decisions and set out how Tāmaki Makaurau will:

· achieve outcomes across the four well-beings

· achieve a well-functioning urban environment

· provide sufficient development capacity to meet housing and business land demand over the short, medium, and long-term

· coordinate critical development infrastructure and additional infrastructure required and explain how this integrates planning decisions with infrastructure and funding decisions.

3. The updated FDS will replace the existing Development Strategy in the Auckland Plan 2050 and will incorporate the new requirements of the National Policy Statement on Urban Development (NPS UD). New information on environmental and social changes such as responses to climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic will also be included.

4. During the early development of the FDS, topics and issues will be researched at a regional scale. As the FDS work develops and becomes more detailed, local board specific material will be available and workshopped with local boards. This is planned for Quarter One and Quarter Two 2023.

5. Over the first half of 2022 seven ‘big issues’ facing Auckland were discussed at series of Planning Committee workshops. These issues were: hapū and iwi values and aspirations for urban development; climate change, emissions reduction and urban form; inundation and natural hazards; intensification – dispersed or focused; infrastructure; greenfields and future urban areas; and business and employment.

6. Local board feedback is sought on this direction, prior to seeking endorsement from the Planning Committee in August and/or September 2022. If endorsed, staff will use the strategic direction as a basis for developing the draft FDS over the second half of 2022.

7. An updated FDS is needed in time to inform the Long-term Plan 2024-2034 (LTP). To provide strategic direction that will usefully feed into the LTP process the FDS will need to be completed by mid-2023.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) provide feedback on the strategic direction for the Future Development Strategy.

Horopaki

Context

What is the Future Development Strategy?

8. The purpose of the FDS is to provide the basis for integrated, strategic and long-term planning. It sets out how, where and when Tāmaki Makaurau is expected to grow over the next 30 years and outlines where and when investment in planning and infrastructure will be made. The updated FDS will replace the existing Development Strategy in the Auckland Plan 2050. It sets out how Tāmaki Makaurau will:

· achieve outcomes across the four well-beings

· achieve a well-functioning urban environment

· provide sufficient development capacity to meet housing and business land demand over the short, medium, and long-term

· coordinate critical development infrastructure and additional infrastructure required and explain how this integrates planning decisions with infrastructure and funding decisions.

9. The FDS will show how the direction and outcomes in the Auckland Plan 2050 will be achieved spatially and it will incorporate a clear statement of hapū and iwi values and aspirations for urban development.

10. It will identify the existing and future location, timing and sequencing of growth and infrastructure provision. It will also identify constraints on development.

11. Sequencing of development areas within the existing urban areas and future urban areas will be assessed as part of this update.

Why is it being updated now?

12. There have been many changes since the Development Strategy was adopted as part of the Auckland Plan 2050, nearly four years ago, including central government initiatives under the Urban Growth Agenda and new national policy statements such as the NPS UD. In addition, the council has led strategy and policy work focused on environmental and social challenges, including responses to climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. The growth model is also being reviewed and updated to support the spatial evidence for the FDS.

13. This changing context, but specifically the requirements of the NPS UD, means Tāmaki Makaurau’s long-term spatial plan requires updating. The update will consider the detailed NPS UD changes to the Auckland Unitary Plan, such as intensification around train and bus rapid transit stops, however the purpose is different as it has a long-term (30 year) strategic focus.

14. At its 30 November 2021 meeting, the Planning Committee approved the development of an update to the FDS and endorsed the high-level work programme (committee resolution PLA/2021/137).

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Strategic direction on the ‘big issues’

15. Over the first half of 2022 seven ‘big issues’ facing Auckland were discussed at series of Planning Committee workshops. The Future Development Strategy will need to address these issues (set out below).

16. Local board feedback is sought on this direction, prior to seeking endorsement from the Planning Committee in August and/or September 2022. If endorsed, the staff will use the strategic direction as a basis for developing the draft FDS over the second half of 2022.

Hapū and iwi values and aspirations for urban development

17. The NPS UD directs that the FDS is informed by ‘Māori, and in particular tangata whenua, values and aspirations for urban development’. These values could provide a strong framework for taking a longer term, more sustainable approach to development in Auckland.

18. Strategic direction:

· hapū and iwi values and aspirations are a key aspect to the FDS and should be an overarching theme throughout, rather than a separate section or workstream

· a thorough engagement approach is critical to understanding directly from hapū and iwi what their values and aspirations for urban development are

· mataawaka and relevant Māori organisations should be included in the engagement.

Climate change, emissions reduction and urban form

19. An increased focus on climate change is a key aspect of updating the FDS. The council has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2030 and achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Auckland needs to prepare for the impacts of climate change and plan for a potential 3.5 degree temperature increase. Urban form plays a major role in our ability to reduce emissions, as well as our exposure to natural hazards (see below).

20. Strategic direction:

· climate change related outcomes are non-negotiable, and every decision needs to consider climate change implications

· achieving climate change related outcomes should be an overarching theme throughout the FDS.

Inundation and natural hazards

21. There are areas of Auckland that are, and with the impacts of climate change (discussed above), increasingly will be, exposed to natural hazards such as inundation, flooding and erosion.

22. Strategic direction:

· take a strong approach to development in hazardous areas and provide clear public messages about risks and liability.

Intensification – dispersed or focused

23. Recent government direction relating to intensification under the NPS UD (around centres and rapid transit stations) and the Medium Density Residential Standards (MDRS) impact the council’s ability to influence where intensification could or should occur.

24. Intensification that is dispersed (what MDRS enables) is likely to result in low(er) levels of intensification across most of the urban area. This will impact on the ability to provide services over time, for example, public transport.

25. Focused intensification would direct growth to specific areas or locations, for example, around centres, areas with good public transport access or near areas of high employment.

26. A combination of these two approaches would allow intensification across much of Auckland but would also allow greater intensification in specific areas. This approach may undermine the level of intensification in places that are best suited, as growth would also be happening in many other places.

27. Strategic direction:

· work within the legal parameters, use the levers we still have available to focus intensification

· quality aspects are increasingly important with intensification, including the value of greenspace.

Infrastructure

28. Funding and financing all the infrastructure needed in Auckland is a significant challenge. The council cannot provide infrastructure everywhere at the same time and reconsideration is needed of where funding will be focused / provided, and who funds what aspects and to what extent.

29. Strategic direction:

· strong, clear signals are needed that the council will use infrastructure as a lever to support or not support development

· the timing and sequencing of development in strategic plans must be followed.

Greenfields and future urban areas

30. The current Development Strategy (and the Auckland Unitary Plan) provide for 15,000ha of greenfields / future urban land, sequenced for development over a 30-year period. In the first decade (2017-2027) 32% of that land was live-zoned and more future urban land is being considered for live-zoning through private plan changes.

31. Live-zoning is happening much faster and in a haphazard way, creating major infrastructure issues. Additionally, some of this future urban land will, in future, be exposed to greater flooding risk and other natural hazards.

32. Strategic direction:

· reconsider and possibly pull back some Future Urban zone areas, particularly:

o areas at risk of flooding and natural hazards

o other areas given the direction on emissions reduction

· the FDS should give strong signals regarding non-live zoned Future Urban zone land e.g., in terms of sequencing of development and infrastructure provision.

Business and employment

33. Business operations and future needs are changing, for example, the impacts of Covid and working from home, increases in online retail, the needs for large footprint businesses and the role that local centres may play in future.

34. Auckland Council’s data on business land, needs and trends needs updating and work is underway to address this.

35. Strategic direction:

· business land, operations and future needs is an important aspect of the FDS and further research is supported, particularly in relation to the demand for industrial space, robotic warehousing, the weightless economy and the impacts of Covid

· access to business and employment is a critical issue, both in terms reducing the need to travel through proximity to residential areas, and accessibility by public transport and active modes

· the importance of access to and provision of quality employment opportunities for Māori and Māori businesses.

Work programme – timeframes, key milestones

36. The high-level milestones of the FDS are set out below. The FDS will be completed by mid-2023 to provide clear strategic direction to the 2024 LTP, as directed by the NPS UD.

37. Research, stakeholder engagement and development of the draft FDS will be on-going in 2022. Engagement with Tāmaki Makaurau Māori and key stakeholders is planned throughout 2022 and the first half of 2023. Public consultation is expected in the first half of 2023.

Climate impact statement

41. There is an increasing national focus on climate change through legislation^{^[1]} and through initiatives such as declaration of climate emergencies^{^[2]} and the report of the Climate Change Commission (June 2021). The council adopted Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan in 2020. The plan provides a long-term approach to climate action, with a target to halve regional emissions by 2030 and transition to net zero emissions by 2050. The built environment is one of the priority areas within the plan and the associated action areas focus on reducing emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change.

42. The government’s Emissions Reduction Plan (May 2022) and the council’s Transport Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) being developed are recent plans seeking to reduce emissions. The TERP will provide a pathway for achieving a modelled 64 per cent reduction in transport emissions by 2030 in Auckland. Staff are working to align land use aspects of the TERP and the FDS to 2030, while acknowledging that land use and planning decisions typically see climate impacts over the longer-term. This means that decisions need to be made now to realise the benefits as soon as possible.

43. Land use and planning decisions, particularly those around urban form, development and infrastructure, are fundamental to climate action. The impacts of different growth scenarios on climate change mitigation and adaptation are essential to the development of the FDS. These decisions influence and lock in our emissions trajectory and our ability to deal with the risks and impacts of a changing climate for decades to come.

44. For example, in relation to transport emissions, more expansive urban forms generally lead to longer travel distances. Longer trip lengths typically result in higher transport emissions and less propensity for mode shift. Strategic land use decisions consider climate change risks and impacts such as the effects of coastal inundation and sea level rise.

45. The approach taken in the FDS and the council’s approach to implementation has the potential for significant long-term implications. These aspects will be further researched and developed over the course of the project.

Council group impacts and views

46. The FDS provides Auckland-wide alignment on growth and development approaches and influences council strategies, programmes of work and investment decisions. Involvement, information and support from staff across the council group is a critical aspect needed to achieve alignment.

47. A range of relevant staff from across the organisation, including the Council-Controlled Organisations, are involved in the project’s topic areas or workstreams.

Local impacts and local board views

48. The FDS is the long-term strategic spatial plan for Tāmaki Makaurau. The FDS provides information on how, when and where growth is anticipated. This is a topic which is of relevance to local boards as growth and development can have significant impacts at a local board level and informs local board plans.

49. This report seeks local board views on the strategic approach to the Future Development Strategy prior to agreement being sought from the Planning Committee.

50. As the FDS work develops and becomes more detailed, local board specific material will be available and will be workshopped with local boards. This is planned for Quarter One and Quarter Two 2023.

Māori impact statement

51. The purpose of the FDS is to provide the basis for integrated, strategic and long-term planning. It will reflect the direction and outcomes in the Auckland Plan 2050 spatially. The updated FDS will include a clear statement of hapū and iwi values and aspirations for urban development based on engagement with relevant hapū and iwi (as required by the NPS UD).

52. The council has committed to achieving Māori outcomes through Kia Ora Tāmaki Makaurau, influenced by the Māori Plan and Issues of Significance, and Auckland Plan 2050. These documents provide guidance in understanding the priority areas for Tāmaki Makaurau Māori and a number of these priority areas are relevant to the development and implementation of the FDS, for example:

· involve Māori early in the decision-making process

· Māori housing aspirations

· protection of existing natural resources

· allowing for kaitiakitanga

· benefits to Māori, for example, housing, economic opportunities, and improved access

· impacts of climate change, for example, on marae, whānau, and sites of significance

· opportunities to showcase Māori identity.

53. The priority areas already identified, along with feedback from previous engagement will be incorporated in the development of the FDS. This requires a review of past Māori engagement and provides a starting point for engaging with Māori, in a way that supports their capacity to genuinely participate in the development of the FDS.

54. Staff have developed a Māori engagement plan and are in the beginning phases of engaging with Māori across Tāmaki Makaurau.

Financial implications

55. Costs for developing the FDS largely fall in FY23. This includes engagement and consultation aspects of the programme. Funding is provided in the 22/23 Annual Budget.

56. The FDS, once adopted, plays a significant role in future asset and service planning, especially assets and services related to growth. Decisions on this are subsequently made through Annual Plans, Long-term Plans, Regional Land Transport Plans etc.

Risks and mitigations

57. The council faces significant risks (achieving desired development outcomes, financial and reputational) in the absence of a clear, cohesive and strategic approach responding to the FDS requirements of the NPS UD and Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009. The development of an FDS seeks to address those risks.

Next steps

58. Workshops are planned for the first half of 2023, when information specific to each local board will be available.
