File No.: CP2022/15380

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.      To seek approval to name one new public road created by way of subdivision development at 158 Hellyer Road, Kaukapakapa.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.      The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines (the guidelines), set out the requirements and criteria of council for proposed road names. These guidelines state that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the applicants D and F Morgan shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road names for the local board’s approval. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming across the Auckland region.

3.      D and F Morgan has proposed the following names for the consideration of the local board:

·    Morgan Rise (applicant’s preference)

·    Heights Rise (alternative)

·    Hunex Rise (alternative).

4.      The proposed road name options have been assessed against the guidelines and the Australian and 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

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Rodney Local Board:

a)      approve the name ‘Morgan Rise’ for a new public road for the subdivision being undertaken by D and F Morgan at 158 Hellyer Road, Kaukapakapa in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (Council references BUN20456850, SUB60036663 and road naming reference RDN90103238) and referenced in Attachments A and B to the agenda report.

 

Horopaki

Context

5.      The multi-lot subdivision, (Council Ref SUB60036663), was approved on 29 June 2018.

6.      Site and location plans of the subdivision can be found in Attachments A and B.

7.      In accordance with the standards, every public road and any private way, commonly owned access lot, and right of way, that serves more than five lots generally require a new road name in order to ensure safe, logical, and efficient street numbering.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

8.      The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines set out the requirements and criteria of 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

9.      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

·   a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity theme or feature

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

10.    Theme: D and F Morgan has chosen names that they consider appropriate for the locality. In this regard the names and their relevance are detailed in the table below:      

Proposed name

Meaning (as described by applicant)

Morgan Rise (applicant’s preference)

This is the name of the original landowner

Heights Rise (alternative)

The subdivision is called ‘Hellyer Heights’ the road off Hellyer Road is a long uphill road.

Hunex Rise (alternative)

Combination of the landowner’s children’s names ‘Hunter and Rex’

 

11.    Assessment: The proposed name options have been assessed by 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.

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

13.    Road Type: The road type ‘Rise’ is acceptable road type for the new road.

14.    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

15.    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

16.    The decision sought for this report has no identified impacts on other parts of 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

17.    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

18.    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.

19.    On 6 October 2022 mana whenua were contacted by council on behalf of D and F Morgan through the Resource Consent Unit’s central facilitation process as set out in the guidelines. Representatives of the following groups with a general interest in the area were contacted:

·        Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua

·        Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara

·        Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei

·        Te Kawerau ā Maki

·        Te Ākitai Waiohua

·        Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua

·        Ngāti Maru

·        Ngāti Whanaunga

·        Ngāti Manuhiri

·        Ngāti Wai.

20.    By the close of the consultation period (10 working days) no responses had been received.

21.    The level of feedback received from mana whenua is often dependent on the scale of the development and its level of significance.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

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

23.    D and F Morgan has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed accordingly once approval is obtained for the new private and public road names.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

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

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

25.    Approved road names are notified to Land Information New Zealand which records them on its New Zealand wide land information database which includes street addresses issued by councils.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.      The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines (the guidelines) set out the requirements and criteria of council for proposed road names. These 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.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Rodney Local Board:

a)      approve the name ‘Horizon Heights Place’ for the new private road (Road 2) created by way of the subdivision undertaken by Horizon Heights Development Ltd at 244 Postman Road, Dairy Flat, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (road naming reference RDN90101395, resource consent reference BUN20444850).

7.      Resource consent reference BUN20444850 was issued in June 2017 for the creation of 43 new residential lots and two commonly owned access lots.

8.      Site and location plans of the development can be found in Attachments A and B to the agenda report.

9.      In accordance with the standards, every public road and any private way, commonly owned access lot, or right of way, that serves more than five lots generally requires a new road name in order to ensure safe, logical and efficient street numbering.

10.    The new commonly owned access lot therefore require a road name because they serve more than five lots. This can be seen in Attachment A, where the commonly owned access lots that require a name are highlighted in yellow.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

11.    The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines set out the requirements and criteria of 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. These 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

12.    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

·   a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity theme or feature

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

13.    Theme: Many existing roads in the area surrounding this development have names that reflect the aeronautical heritage/history of the area. For example, ‘Runway Rise’ and ‘Throttle Close’. For this reason, Horizon Heights Development Ltd has chosen names to compliment this existing local theme, as detailed in the table below:

Proposed name

Meaning (as described by applicant)

ROAD 2

Horizon Heights Place

(applicant’s preference)

The name is sky related. The proposed name reflects the heritage and local history of the area where flying activities have taken place since the formation of the neighbouring North Shore Aero Club.

Rainbow Way (alternative)

As above.

Wing Lane (alternative)

The name is airplane related. The proposed name reflects the heritage and local history of the area where flying activities have taken place since the formation of the neighbouring North Shore Aero Club.

ROAD 1

Aeropark Drive

(existing name to be extended)

The road name is already existing and reflects an existing local theme.

14.    Assessment: All the name options listed in the table above have been assessed by 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.

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

16.    Road Type: ‘Place’, ‘Way’ and ‘Lane’ are acceptable road types for the new private road, suiting the form and layout of the commonly owned access lot.

17.    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.

21.    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.

22.    On 1 September 2022 mana whenua were contacted by council on behalf of the Horizon Heights Development Ltd, through the Resource Consent department’s central facilitation process, as set out in the guidelines. Representatives of the following groups with an interest in the general area were contacted:

·        Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua

·        Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara

·        Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei

·        Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki

·        Te Kawerau ā Maki

·        Ngāti Paoa Trust Board

·        Ngāti Maru

·        Ngāti Whanaunga

·        Ngāti Manuhiri

·        Ngāti Wai.

 

23.    By the close of the consultation period (10 working days), no responses had been received.

24.    Dependent on the scale of the development and its level of significance, not all road naming applications receive comments from mana whenua. Horizon Heights Development Ltd is looking to obtain a road name in the absence of that comment and as the proposed name is of significance to the heritage and local history of the area.

25.    This site is not listed as a site of significance to mana whenua and no Te Reo Māori names are proposed.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

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

27.    Horizon Heights Development Ltd has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed accordingly once approval is obtained for the new road names.

Local impacts and local board views

14.    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

15.    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.

16.    The local mana whenua, Ngāti Manuhuri, have indicated a desire for the road to be named ‘Te Honohono ki Tai’ (Pathway to the Sea), the same name gifted to the Matakana Link Road project.

17.    As the road name has been gifted by Ngāti Manuhiri no other mana whenua consultation has been undertaken.

Financial implications

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

19.    Auckland Transport has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed accordingly once approval is obtained for the new public road name.

Risks and mitigations

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

Next steps

21.    Approved road names are notified to Land Information New Zealand which records them on its New Zealand wide land information database which includes street addresses issued by councils.

Appointments to external organisations

File No.: CP2022/15479

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.      To appoint local board members to external organisations and agree the process for appointing the single local board representative to the Local Government New Zealand National Council.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.      Local boards have a statutory responsibility to communicate with community organisations and special interest groups within their local board area. These organisations range from business associations, statutory organisations, trusts, to entities for which the council has the right to appoint directors (known as council organisations (COs)). Local board members are often invited to participate in these external organisations in various capacities.

3.      This report provides detail about these various categories of appointments to external organisations to inform appointments by the local board.

4.      Attachment A to this report provides details of the external organisations that have existing arrangements with the local board or for which a relationship is prescribed in policy, such as business associations running Business Improvement District programmes. Local boards are being asked to make appointments to these organisations at this time.

5.      Local boards are also collectively required to appoint a single representative (to represent all 21 local boards) to the Local Government New Zealand National Council, to fill one of three seats provided for Auckland Council. This report recommends a process for making a joint appointment.

6.      Staff recommend that local boards consider appointing a lead and an alternate for various organisations for the 2022-2025 triennium. The function of alternate representative is to act as a backup to and to perform the appointee duties, including attendance at meetings, in the appointee’s absence.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Rodney Local Board:

a)      kopou / appoint a representative and alternate to each of the external organisations listed in Attachment A for the 2022-2025 triennium:

i)        North West District Business Association

ii)       One Mahurangi Business Association

iii)      Redvale Landfill Community Liaison Committee

iv)      Puhoi to Pakiri Trail Leadership Group

b)      tautapa / delegate authority to the chairperson to work with other local board chairpersons to form a selection panel to appoint a local board representative to the Local Government New Zealand National Council as soon as possible.

Horopaki

Context

7.      Participation in community organisations is an established part of an elected member's role and having a relationship with community organisations and interest groups is an important part of the local board role.

8.      Several external organisations provide for the formal participation of representatives of the Auckland Council in their affairs. These can include arrangements via:

·        a trust deed that provides for a council representative on an organisation’s board, committee, or other function

·        provisions in law, policy or resource consent that require council representative arrangements. For example, a regulation providing for a community liaison committee or a resource consent requiring the formation of a committee with elected member representation

·        other partnerships or associations entered into by the council which provide for elected member representation.

9.      These arrangements often include other duties depending on the organisation, the nature of that organisation’s work and/or the relationship with the council.

Representatives to business associations with Business Improvement District (BID) programmes

10.    Business associations are independent organisations that are governed by their own constitutions but often work closely with the council because of the roles they play and interest in local business communities (town and commercial centres).

11.    Some business associations participate in Auckland Council’s Business Improvement District programme. This programme sets a framework to provide for a Business Improvement District from operating business associations with BID targeted rate funding.  Those business associations can then act for the benefit of the specified business or BID area.  Business associations that operate a BID programme are also required to work with Auckland Council to ensure there is accountability for the BID targeted rates collected by the council.

12.    Auckland Council’s BID Policy 2022 sets the framework for governance, accountability, and management of the BID programmes. The BID Policy outlines the role of the local boards and the local board representative in relation to BIDs. It recognises that within Auckland Council, local boards are the primary relationship lead with BIDs.

13.    Local boards have allocated decision-making responsibilities relating to BID programmes, including, but not limited to:

·        advising on BID programme strategic direction (with the business association) and providing feedback to the business association regarding its annual BID programme presentation to the local board

·        approving establishment of new BID programme and boundary area within the parameters set by the Auckland Council BID policy

·        approval of any changes or amendments to an existing BID programme boundary area

·        recommending to the Governing Body BID programme targeted rate grant amounts and proposed changes to a BID targeted rate mechanism.

14.    To manage the relationship with BIDs and ensure adequate information sharing between local boards and these entities, the BID Policy provide that local boards will appoint a local board member to represent the local board and liaise (with the BID).

15.    The local board representative role supports the governance-to-governance relationship between the two organisations and is not operationally focused.  Only the local board representative, or the alternate representative if the appointed representative is not available, may represent the local board at BID executive committee and General Meetings, but this does not prohibit BIDs from engaging with other local board members. Depending on the relationship, between the parties, the involvement of local board representatives on business associations may go further to include:

·        an invitation that the local board representative be appointed to the business association executive committee with speaking rights

·        bestowal of voting rights by the business association on the local board’s representative.  The bestowal of voting rights is not recommended.  This is to avoid any conflicts of interests (real or perceived), or disputes between the local board and the BID.  However, provided the BID and the local board representative are comfortable that risks can be managed, the BID Policy does not prevent this.

Other business associations not running BID programmes

16.    Often other business associations who are not running BID programmes find that having a dedicated liaison is helpful. This is especially useful if the business association intends to join the BID programme in the future. In that regard, local boards are encouraged to appoint a liaison representative, and an alternate if desired, for all business associations in its area.

17.    The business associations relevant to the Rodney Local Board are North West District Business Association and One Mahurangi Business Association.

Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) National Council

18.    The Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) Rules were amended in 2019 to remove Auckland Council from Zone 1 and to provide for Auckland’s representation at the National Council. Given its sheer size and shared governance structure, Auckland will now operate as its own LGNZ ‘zone’ and of its three seats on the LGNZ National Council, one is earmarked for a representative that is appointed by the 21 local boards. The other seats are filled by the Mayor of Auckland (or his alternate) and a representative to be appointed by the Governing Body.

19.    The LGNZ rules require appointments to the National Council to be made within eight weeks of the triennial local government elections.

20.    In 2019, local boards agreed to delegate authority to the local board chairpersons and the 21 chairpersons formed a selection panel to appoint a single representative of the local boards to the LGNZ National Council. This process enabled a representative to be appointed within the necessary time and was an efficient and appropriate process for making shared decisions.

21.    Staff are recommending a similar process for this term, whereby local boards delegate to chairpersons the power to form a selection panel and for the selection panel to collectively to make the LGNZ National Council representative selection at their meeting in early December 2022.

Appointments for the purpose of managing relationships and communications

22.    The Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 specifically provides that a local board must communicate with community organisations and special interest groups within its local board area (section 13(2)(c)). In the past few terms, some local boards appointed dedicated leads to manage these relationships and ensure good communication lines with specific organisations and interest groups. These members act as a liaison between the local board and these organisations or groups.

23.    While appointing representatives is one way to maintain good relationships and open communication, staff recommend this be considered as part of their local board engagement strategy.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

24.    The appointments outlined in this report are not all similar and the responsibilities and duties of an elected member will vary depending on the type of appointment and the organisation. Key considerations for appointment decisions should include:

Ensuring appointees have the capacity and skills to undertake the responsibilities

25.    This report attempts to outline the differences between the various appointments so that potential nominees can assess if they are the right fit. Some of the roles require members to represent the interests of the council or perform governance functions. Others may require a lot of time commitment for meetings.

26.    A great deal of appointments require attendance of members at either monthly or quarterly meetings of these external organisations.

27.    Elected members are encouraged to consider taking on responsibilities only if they can commit to the time and effort that is required.

Managing conflicts of interests

28.    The primary role of elected members appointed to external organisations is representing the council. However, depending on their activities, these arrangements may impact their decision-making role within the council.

29.    Conflicts of interest can sometimes arise in relation to such appointments, for example where the appointment involves a legal duty to act in the organisations best interest (e.g., as a director or trustee). A conflict may also arise where the appointed representatives become heavily involved and very invested in the affairs and decisions relating to that external organisation. In these situations, a conflict could arise when the local board is making certain types of decision in relation to the other organisation.

30.    To reduce the risk of conflicts, elected members should not take part in the management of these organisations unless there is a specific arrangement otherwise. The role as an appointee should be confined to attending meetings, voting at annual or general meetings and acting as a conduit of information.

31.    From 20 November 2022, new amendments to the Local Government Act 2002 come into force and require elected members to make a pecuniary interest return - in relation to a member, this means a matter or activity of financial benefit to the member – and includes declaring all appointments that a member has by virtue of being an elected member. Elected members must provide this return within 120 days of coming into office and before the last day of February in subsequent years. Having an interest does not necessarily mean there is a conflict, but it is important to be mindful of any perceptions of conflict if elected members are actively involved with community groups, even in their official capacity.

Accountability

32.    Appointed representatives are strongly encouraged to make regular reports to the local board on their activities and as appropriate, progress made by that organisation on key issues that are relevant to the local board and council.

Official capacity

33.    Elected representatives are delegated representation roles in their capacity as elected local board members. Should they cease to become an elected member, their appointment would be automatically repealed. 

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

34.    This decision is procedural in nature and is not expected to result in any increase to greenhouse gas emissions nor will it be adversely impacted by the predicted effects of climate change.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

35.    Auckland Council staff support local boards in programmes and partnerships involving business associations and other external organisations that may be covered in this report.

36.    Staff in the Governance Division provide support to members who are involved with the LGNZ National Council.

37.    Other than that, these appointment decisions facilitate positive relationships with key partners and are not expected to have any significant adverse impact on the council group.

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

Local impacts and local board views

38.    Local boards are generally committed to nurturing and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders. This report and recommendations align with what local boards want.

39.    There may be an interest in making more appointments or arrangements of this nature for the purpose of managing relationships and ensuring key community groups have dedicated liaisons that make their engagement with the local board easier. Staff are supportive of this approach, however, to ensure these arrangements are meaningful and useful, the local board is strongly encouraged to consider making any additional appointments in the context of a discussion about its engagement strategy for the term.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

40.    This is a procedural decision that is not considered to have specific implications for Māori. Where relevant, any specific arrangements for Māori co-governance and co-management entities will be addressed in a dedicated report.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

41.    The decision to appoint local board members to outside organisations is procedural in nature so does not have any financial implications.

42.    Where financial decisions relating to these external organisations are taken, the implications of those decisions and these appointments, where appropriate and relevant, will be assessed accordingly.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

43.    There are some reputational risks that may arise if local board members appointed to external organisations do not meet the expectations for their role. These include attendance at meetings and making themselves available or accessible to the groups to which they are appointed. To manage these risks, elected members are encouraged to carefully consider these roles and requirements and only take these commitments on if they can honour them.

44.    To mitigate the risk of actual and perceived conflicts when can undermine decisions of the council, elected members are required to include the appointments made in this report in their annual declarations.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

45.    Once appointed, staff will prepare correspondence from the chairperson to these external organisations introducing the new local board and informing them of the appointed representatives for their organisation.

46.    Following the delegation of authority to the chairperson, provided all local boards agree to this recommendation, staff will bring the matter of the LGNZ National Council appointment to the next meeting of local board chairpersons for a decision.

Local board appointments and delegations for the 2022-2025 electoral term

File No.: CP2022/15484

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.      To make internal appointments and delegations to manage the workload and enable the discharge of duties and responsibilities in a timely manner.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.      Local boards are responsible for a wide range of council decisions. As per their legislative role, most of these decisions relate to non-regulatory responsibilities of the council allocated to local boards.

3.      In the first term of Auckland Council, all 21 local boards (and the Governing Body) made a general delegation to the chief executive of all their responsibilities, duties and powers subject to the exclusions, restrictions and clarifications set out in the chief executive’s Delegations Register. The exercise of responsibilities, duties and powers delegated from local boards is subject to the Local Board Delegation Protocols. The Local Board Delegation Protocols require a range of decisions to be reported to the local board and require that certain decisions made by staff be subject to consultation with the local board, through a nominated local board member.

4.      Local boards have also been delegated some decisions relating to regulatory processes from the Governing Body. These include giving input into the resource consent process and making objections to liquor licence applications. Some of these decisions are subject to statutory timeframes so having individual members take the lead on such matters ensures the local board can participate effectively in these processes.

5.      To enable effective and efficient decision-making, it is appropriate that individual members undertake the following duties and responsibilities:

a)      Provision of local board views and feedback during staff consultation on general landowner approvalsy.

b)      Provision of local board views and feedback during staff consultation on activities that are subject to regulatory approval e.g., film applications and events.

c)       Provision of formal feedback on resource consent-related matters, specifically input into resource consent notification decisions and provision of local board views, if any, on publicly notified resource consents; includes providing views, if required, on any council decisions relating to the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Act 2020

d)      Preparation of and submission of objections, if any, to liquor licence applications and authority to speak at relevant hearings, if required.

e)      Representation at meetings of joint committees, working groups and other bodies which the local board is a party of or invited to.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Rodney Local Board:

a)      kopou / appoint a nominated contact, and an alternate, for staff consultations over landowner approval applications (excluding applications for filming and events)

b)      kopou / appoint a nominated contact, and an alternate, for staff consultation on applications for filming on local parks and local facilities that also require regulatory approval

c)      kopou / appoint a nominated contact, and an alternate, for staff consultation on applications for events and other activities on local parks and local facilities that also require regulatory approval

d)      kopou / appoint a lead, and an alternate, for liquor licence matters and delegate authority to that member, including any alternate, to prepare and provide objections, if any, and speak to any local board views at any hearings on applications for liquor licences

e)      kopou / appoint a lead, and an alternate, on resource consent matters and delegate authority to that member, including any alternate, to:

i)          provide the local board views, if any, on whether a resource consent should proceed as a non-notified, limited notified or fully notified application

ii)         prepare and provide local board’s views, if any, on notified resource consents and speak to those views at any hearings if required

iii)        provide the local board’s views on matters relating to or generated by the COVID-19 (Fast-track Consenting) Act 2020 while this legislation remains in force

f)       kopou / appoint a representative, and an alternate, to meetings of the Local Government New Zealand Auckland Zone and to take the lead on matters relating to this forum

g)      tautapa / delegate authority to the chairperson to work with other local board chairpersons to select shared representatives to council working groups, working parties and other internal bodies, where there is a limited number of local board representatives to be selected from amongst all 21 or clusters of local boards.

Horopaki

Context

6.      To enable the effective and efficient conduct of a local board’s business, the Local Government Act 2002 (the Act) provides that a local board may delegate to a committee, subcommittee, or member of the local board, or to an officer of council, any of its responsibilities, duties, or powers, except for the exceptions listed in Clause 36D, Schedule 7 of the Act. The responsibilities that cannot be delegated include the duty to identify and communicate the interests and preferences of the people in the local board area in relation to the content of the strategies, policies, plans and bylaws of Auckland Council.

7.      It is standard practice for local boards to delegate responsibilities for specific tasks and duties to individual members, to enable those tasks and duties to be discharged in a timely manner.

8.      Local boards have also made general delegations to the chief executive which enable staff to make a range of other decisions on behalf of the local board. Some decisions delegated to the Chief Executive are conditional on consultation with the local board, so this report includes appointments of representatives with whom staff can consult and seek local board views from.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

9.      Local boards have been allocated decision-making responsibility for various non-regulatory activities including the use of and activities within local parks and local community and recreation facilities.  Considering and determining requests by the public and other third parties for the use of these parks and facilities is therefore within the allocated responsibilities of local boards. Auckland Council refers to these decisions as “landowner consents” or “landowner approvals”.

10.    Through the general delegation to the chief executive, all local boards have delegated landowner approval decisions to staff subject to consultation with the local board. This enables this customer-facing process to be administered efficiently.

11.    The Local Board Delegation Protocols (Protocols) provide that the nominated local board member can request staff (who are undertaking the consultation) to refer the landowner approval applications to a local board business meeting for a decision. This approach is typically exercised sparingly and in relation to controversial issues of particular interest to the local board or local community. Referring the matter to the local board for decision adds a considerable amount of time and resource to the process as it requires staff to follow the reporting timeframes for business meetings and slows down council’s response to the customer.

12.    Separately Auckland Council takes regulatory decisions in relation to applications made under its Bylaws and the Resource Management Act 1991. Regulatory decisions sit with the Governing Body and are often delegated to staff or to independent commissioners. Before taking decisions, the Governing Body must consider the views and preferences expressed by a local board where the decisions affect the local board area.

13.    This report recommends the appointment of local board members to take the lead on providing these approvals and views.

General landowner approvals

14.    The role of the local board’s nominated lead for general landowner approvals is to be the point of consultation for staff. The lead’s responsibility is to:

·        receive information about the proposed activity which requires landowner approval

·        provide views, if any, about the impact of the proposal on the local park and the local community

·        maintain a focus on governance matters noting that staff who maintain the park and undertake operational duties will be identifying the relevant operational issues

·        ensure that reasons are given to support the views based on relevant and not irrelevant considerations

·        consult other members of the local board, if appropriate, and collate their feedback, if any, to give to staff

·        provide views, if any, in a timely manner (staff recommend nominated leads strive to provide feedback within five days, if possible)

·        provide regular updates to the local board on landowner approval applications received as appropriate.

15.    The exercise of council’s general powers to make landowner decisions is not unconstrained. Whether taken by staff or at the full local board level, decision-makers must ensure decisions are made in accordance with statutory and common and public law principles.

Filming

16.    Screen Auckland (part of Tātaki Auckland Unlimited) is the agency in charge of permitting applications for filming in the Auckland region. They also facilitate the request for landowner approvals relating to film applications.

17.    Due to recent growth in screen industry activity, Screen Auckland is now processing approximately 1000 permit applications per year. This number is predicted to continue to increase as the film industry recovers from COVID-19 restrictions.

18.    Screen Auckland’s service level commitment is to process film applications within three to five working days. These timeframes reflect the nature of this industry and is line with the ‘film-friendly’ direction in the Auckland Film Protocols, but it adds pressure to internal consultation processes.

19.    The recommended timeframe, for consulting with local boards on filming applications, is two working days. These tight timeframes also mean that referring the matter to the full local board will most likely result in cancellation of the application as applicants will likely just opt for a different location. In this regard, to meet council’s service level commitments, the local boards are being encouraged not to refer film applications to the full local board for consideration.

20.    The role of the local board’s film lead is to be the point of consultation for staff processing applications for film permits on local parks. The lead’s responsibility is to:

·        receive information about filming applications on local parks

·        provide views, if any, on how the activity may impact the local park and local communities

·        maintain a focus on governance matters noting that operational staff will be identifying any operational issues

·        ensure reasons are given to support the views and that these are based on relevant and not irrelevant considerations

·        respond within two working days (staff will assume the local board does not have any feedback to give if there is no response received within this timeframe)

·        provide updates to the local board on their nominated lead activities as appropriate.

Events

21.    The Protocols require that a nominated local board lead is consulted, on behalf of the local board, on event applications that meet certain triggers. These triggers are:

·      applications to hold events on council-owned land in the local board area that require regulatory approval and involve one or more of the following matters:

complete or substantial closure of the public open space

more than 500 people

road closure

liquor

ticketed event.

22.    The role of the local board’s events lead is to be the point of consultation for staff processing event permits on local parks. The lead’s responsibility is to:

·      receive information about event application on a local park when the above triggers are met

·      provide views, if any, on how the event activity may impact the local park and local communities

·      maintain a focus on governance matters noting that staff who maintain the park and undertake operational duties will be identifying any operational issues e.g., need for traffic management etc

·      ensure reasons are given to support the views and that these are based on relevant and not irrelevant considerations

·      respond in a timely manner (staff recommend nominated leads strive to provide feedback within five days, if possible)

·      provide updates to the local board on their nominated lead activities as appropriate.

23.    Staff are also required under the Protocols to notify the nominated local board member of areas relating to the event that may involve reputational, financial, performance or political risk and decisions to approve events on council owned land in the local board area. The nominated lead will be the primary point of contact for these communications.

Local Government New Zealand/Auckland Zone

24.    Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) is an incorporated society (New Zealand Local Government Association Incorporation) which represents the national interests of councils around New Zealand and leads best practice in the local government sector.

25.    The objectives of LGNZ include promoting and advocating matters affecting the national interests of local government. LGNZ holds regular dialogue with government, parliamentarians and government agencies and provides thought leadership and research on matters of interest to local authorities.

26.    LGNZ members are organised in geographically based zones and sectors generally. In 2019, LGNZ rules were amended to remove Auckland from Zone 1 with an expectation that Auckland Council, with its 21 local boards, will operate as its own zone group (Auckland Zone).

27.    In the previous term, Auckland Zone held quarterly meetings with the LGNZ President and Chief Executive. These meetings were co-chaired by the councillor and local board member who were appointed to the Local Government New Zealand National Council. Each local board appointed a representative to attend meetings of the Auckland Zone and take the lead on all matters relating thereto.

Liquor licence matters

28.    The District Licensing Committees consider and grant or renew applications for liquor licences and manager’s certificates. When a business applies for a new liquor licence (on-licence, off-licence, club licence, or special licence) or a renewal, these applications are publicly notified.

29.    The Governing Body has delegated to local boards the power to object to liquor licensing applications under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 (GB/2014/103).

30.    Local boards have 15 working days from the date of a public notice of liquor licence applications (new or renewals) to provide an objection on the matter. The District Licensing Committee is required to convene a public hearing whenever an objection has been filed unless the application is withdrawn, the objector does not require a public hearing or it believes that the objection is vexatious and based on grounds outside the scope of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012.

31.    As per the practice in previous terms, this report recommends delegating responsibility to an individual local board member to monitor public notices and lodge objections, if required, on time.

32.    The nominated member’s authority extends to representing the local board at any public hearing that considers the local board’s objection. Where the nominated member is not available to attend a public hearing to speak to the local board’s objection, the alternate member or chairperson or other member agreed by the local board can represent the local board.

Input to resource consent matters

33.    Decisions to grant resource consents are regulatory decisions of the council that sit with the Governing Body and are delegated to staff.

34.    Governing Body has resolved that local boards will be given the opportunity, within the statutory timeframes, to provide feedback, if any, on whether resource consent applications should be publicly notified (GB/2011/156). 

35.    Local boards can also provide views on resource consent applications once they have been notified (and may speak to these views at hearings). 

36.    Resource consent processes are subject to statutory timeframes. To ensure the local board can participate effectively in this process, it is recommended that the local board appoint and authorise an individual member to take the lead in developing and providing feedback when applications are received.

37.    Local boards, in previous terms, have identified a list of issues that automatically trigger their feedback on resource consent matters. When these issues or ‘triggers’ present themselves in a resource consent application, staff will email the nominated lead copies of applications for feedback. Local board leads are encouraged to provide comments on the matter within three working days.

38.    Considerations by the lead, on behalf of the local board, should include how or if the proposed activity may adversely affect people in the local board area.

39.    If the local board desires, the nominated lead for resource consent matters can also be the member in charge of assisting the local board in developing its feedback on other planning matters such as plan changes and notices of requirement. These matters cannot be delegated so feedback, if any, must be decided on by the full local board.

Delegation to chairperson – selection of shared representatives

40.    From time to time during the term, local boards may be invited to appoint a limited number of representatives to working parties, advisory groups, and other groupings that the Governing Body may set up. The selection of a small number of people to represent many local boards requires local boards to work together.

41.    In the previous term, chairpersons were critical to reaching these joint decisions. Chairpersons can work as a selection committee (utilising their monthly Chairs’ Forum) to discuss and agree jointly on shared representatives for all local boards as and when required. In the previous term, this was also process authorised by local boards for the selection of the single local board representative to the Local Government New Zealand National Council and a representative to the Establishment Unit Board for the light rail project.

42.    As representatives of their local boards, chairpersons can also work together in clusters to select representatives from different parts of the region, where this is required.

Council group impacts and views

43.    This report recommends the appointment of nominated local board members to ensure that council can undertake its operational and statutory duties in a timely manner, while receiving local board input and decision-making in matters that are of local importance.

Local impacts and local board views

44.    This report seeks to appoint nominated local board members to perform specific functions.

45.    Any local board member who is appointed as a nominated board member should ensure that they represent the wider local board views and preferences on each matter before them.

Financial implications

47.    A decision of this procedural nature is not considered to have financial implications on Auckland Council.

Risks and mitigations

48.    If local boards choose not to appoint a nominated board member for landowner approvals, film applications and events, staff will need to seek feedback from the chairperson. This could potentially lead to a busy workload for the local board chairperson, in addition to their existing duties.

49.    If local boards choose not to delegate to provide views on notified applications, there is a risk that they will not be able to provide formal views prior to submission closing dates and miss the opportunity to have their feedback presented and heard at a hearing.

50.    If local boards choose not to delegate to provide their views on liquor licences, there is a risk that they will not be able to provide formal views prior to closings dates for submissions not coinciding with political meetings.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

51.    Nominated local board members providing feedback will engage with staff acting in accordance with the Local Board Delegation Protocols.

52.    Training for local board members will be offered on the Resource Management Act 1991 and the preparation of effective feedback for applications notified as part of a Resource Management Act 1991 process.

53.    Nominated local board members (and alternates) who are delegated the responsibility of preparing and providing objections and speaking to the local board’s objection at District Licensing Committee Hearings should sign-up to receive alcohol notices. This will ensure that they hear about new applications as soon as they are open for comment.

Arrangements for making urgent decisions

File No.: CP2022/15486

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.      To endorse a decision-making arrangement for use by the local board when urgent decisions are required but it is not practicable to convene a meeting.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.      Local boards hold decision-making meetings as regularly as they consider appropriate to discharge their responsibilities. A monthly (ordinary) meeting schedule helps staff schedule reports and decisions during the term and ensures elected members' attendance. When a need for an urgent decision arises outside of this schedule, the law allows for extraordinary or emergency meetings.

3.      Extraordinary meetings require the chief executive to provide each local board member with three working days’ notice (or if the meeting is called by resolution, within a lesser period of notice as specified in the resolution, being not less than 24 hours). Emergency meetings require the person calling the meeting (or a person acting on their behalf) to provide 24 hours of notice to local board members and the chief executive.  Extraordinary or emergency meetings are often not practicable to organise, and the short notice period may result in failure to achieve a quorum. In these circumstances, an arrangement for decision-making without a meeting is necessary to enable the local board to deal efficiently with urgent matters.

4.      In the last few terms, all 21 local boards adopted an urgent decision-making arrangement which consisted of a conditional delegation to the chairperson and deputy chairperson to make urgent decisions on behalf of the local board when it cannot meet to make them. The exercise of this delegation has previously been subject to authorisation, to confirm that the decision requested is urgent and that it is not practicable to call an extraordinary or emergency meeting.

5.      Staff recommend that this process is adopted in the current term for use as and when required.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Rodney Local Board:

a)      delegate authority to the chairperson and deputy chairperson, or any person acting in these roles, to make urgent decisions on behalf of the local board, if the local board is unable to meet

b)      confirm that the local area manager, chairperson, and deputy chairperson (or any person/s acting in these roles) will authorise the use of the local board’s urgent decision mechanism by approving the request for an urgent decision in writing

c)      note that all urgent decisions made, including written advice which supported these decisions, will be included on the agenda of the next ordinary meeting of the local board.

 

Horopaki

Context

6.      The Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) provides that a local authority must hold the meetings it needs for the good government of its area.

7.      The LGA also provides that local boards may delegate to committees, other subordinate decision-making bodies, staff, or members of the local board any of its responsibilities and powers for the purposes of efficiency and effectiveness in the conduct of local board business.

8.      The LGA clarifies that some local board decisions are not able to be delegated, including the duty to identify and communicate the interests and preferences of the people in its local board area in relation to the content of the strategies, policies, plans and bylaws of Auckland Council (clause 36D, schedule 7 LGA). 

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Urgent Decisions delegation

9.      The recommended arrangement is one that local boards have had in place over the past few terms. This arrangement has generally worked well to enable responsiveness to situations requiring decisions that arise over the Christmas/New Year holiday period, emergency decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic, and other unforeseen circumstances. This mechanism has enabled timely submissions to central government consultations, something that is usually subject to very constrained timeframes.

10.    The urgent decision-making arrangements involve a delegation to the chairperson and deputy chairperson (subject to the authorisation process set out below), to make urgent decisions required before the next meeting if it is not practicable to hold an extraordinary or emergency meeting.

Authorisation

11.    The delegation to make urgent decisions is subject to authorisation. The authorisers will approve the use of the urgent decision mechanism if they are satisfied that:

a)      the decision is required urgently, i.e., before the next planned meeting of the local board, and

b)      it is not practicable in the circumstances to call an extraordinary or emergency meeting of the local board.

12.    The authorisers will include the chairperson, deputy chairperson and the local area manager (or their nominee). Their considerations should include the significance of the decision, including whether this is likely to be controversial or not, and the ability to meet statutory and logistical requirements for an extraordinary or emergency meeting in the particular circumstances.

Request for urgent decision

13.    Requests for an urgent decision should outline:

a)      the decisions or resolutions sought.

b)      the nature of the issue.

c)       the reason for urgency.

Decision-making requirements

14.    Elected members exercising the urgent decision delegation must make their decision in accordance with the decision-making principles and requirements in the LGA and Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 and they must determine the best way to fulfil the requirements laid out in that legislation. These requirements include:

·        identifying and assessing all reasonably practicable options for achieving the decision’s purpose and assessing those options in terms of their advantages and disadvantages (s 77 LGA)

·        if it is a significant decision in relation to land or a body of water, considering the relationship of Māori and their culture and traditions with ancestral lands, water, sites, waahi tapu, valued flora and fauna, and other taonga (s 77(1)(c) LGA)

·        considering the views and preferences of people likely to be affected by, or have an interest in, the decision (s 78 LGA).

15.    Elected members require quality advice to inform good decisions. Where the request for an urgent decision has come from staff, staff should provide their advice in the Auckland Council report format. It may not always be possible for staff to produce comprehensive reports within constrained timeframes, so in such circumstances they should endeavour to provide sufficient information in an appropriate format, such as a memorandum.

Public accountability

16.    Urgent decisions made under delegated authority should be published on the agenda of the next ordinary meeting of the local board. The information to be published must include the urgent decision and all relevant information provided to the decision-makers, provided it is not confidential.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

17.    This decision is procedural in nature and is not affected by climate impacts nor will it result in any changes to greenhouse gas emissions.

18.    The urgent decision mechanism enables urgent decisions to be made in a timely manner and this makes it a useful tool for responding to any climate change-related emergency.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

19.    The urgent decision-making mechanism proposed in this report enables the council group to respond to situations requiring urgent decisions in a timely manner when it is not practical to call the full local board together.

20.    These decisions include, for example, local board input to council submissions that are provided whenever there is a central government consultation. The timeframes for these submissions can be very constrained and it is crucial that local board input is provided sooner rather than later, so that it can be considered by the Governing Body (or its committees) who adopt the submission on behalf of Auckland Council.

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

Local impacts and local board views

21.    This report outlines the local board urgent decision-making arrangement that can be used when it is not practical to call the full local board together.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

22.    This report concerns a procedural matter and is not considered to have any specific implications for Māori.

23.    When making urgent decisions under the delegation, decision makers will need to consider the impact of each decision on Māori, their land and other taonga, as appropriate.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

24.    There are no financial implications arising from the procedural decision sought through this report.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

25.    The authorisation step provides an opportunity to assess and confirm the urgency and to decide if it is practicable to have an extraordinary or emergency meeting. This step is intended to help ensure the delegation to the chairperson and deputy chairperson is used in appropriate circumstances.

26.    The chairperson and deputy chairperson are strongly encouraged to seek views from other local board members when making urgent decisions to ensure the urgent decision reflects those views to the extent possible.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

27.    If the local board adopts the urgent decision-making mechanism proposed in this report, this will provide a process that will be used as and when required.

Reallocation of the Rodney Local Board Locally Driven Initiative capital budget contribution

File No.: CP2022/15488

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.      To seek approval to reallocate the $1 million Rodney Local Board contribution from the Rodney Local Board One Local Initiative budget line to the Rodney Local Board Locally Driven Initiative Capital fund.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.      Rodney Local Board resolved an indoor multi-sport facility to be built in Kumeū–Huapai as its One Local Initiative project, part of the Long-term Plan 2018-2028 (RD/2018/25). Indicative funding of $22.4 million was earmarked for the Rodney Local Board One Local Initiative in the Long-term Plan 2018-2028.

3.      Due to COVID-19 and the subsequent financial reprioritisation within the 2020 Auckland Council Emergency Budget, a hold was placed on all projects in the One Local Initiative programme that had not yet contractually committed to construction. Rodney Local Board resolved to contribute $1 million from their 2020/2021 Locally Driven Initiative capital budget to support the progress and delivery of the One Local Initiative project in May 2020.

4.      The Governing Body adopted the Mayoral Proposal relating to the Annual Budget 2022/2023 on 7 June 2022 (GB/2022/45), approving the deferral of $230 million capital expenditure, this included the Rodney Local Board One Local Initiative funding and a portion of the local board’s 2024/2025 Locally Driven Initiative capital budget. 

5.      The local board’s $1 million contribution to the One Local Initiative project remains unspent and is split across financial years 2026/2027 ($500,000) and 2027/2028 ($500,000). It is proposed the local board approves reallocating their $1 million contribution back into their Locally Driven Initiative capital budget until the Governing Body approves sufficient funding to progress the proposed detailed business case for the Rodney Local Board One Local Initiative project. Staff discussed the proposed contribution reallocation with the local board at a workshop held on 7 September 2022.

6.      Subject to the local board’s decision on the proposal outlined in this report, the $1 million contribution will be transferred back to the Locally Driven Initiative capital budget in financial years 2026/2027 ($500,000) and 2027/2028 ($500,000).

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Rodney Local Board:

a)      approve the reallocation of their $1 million contribution to their One Local Initiative project back into the Rodney Local Board Locally Driven Initiative capital fund, split evenly across financial years 2026/2027 and 2027/2028.

Horopaki

Context

7.      In 2018, the Finance and Performance Committee resolved to allocate $170 million of funding in the 2018-2028 Long-term Plan for the delivery of One Local Initiatives (OLI) with a local level of provision.

8.     Rodney Local Board resolved to develop an indoor multi-sport facility to be built in the Huapai Recreation Reserve as its One Local Initiative project, part of the Long-term Plan 2018-2028 (RD/2018/25). 

9.      A high-level indicative cost estimate for the design and construction of the preferred option is $24.3 million.  This figure could increase due to timing of delivery and material cost escalations.

10.    Preliminary design work was undertaken, and a quantity surveying assessment of the indicative business case options was completed by the consultancy, The Value Practice in March 2020.

11.    In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Auckland Council Emergency Budget was adopted.  The OLI programme projects that were not contractually committed for construction were paused. This included the Rodney Local Board’s OLI project: “Huapai Recreation Reserve - develop indoor multi-sport facility”.

12.    In response to the funding pause, Rodney Local Board resolved to commit a $1 million contribution from their 2020/2021 Locally Driven Initiative (LDI) capital budget to continue to support the progress and delivery of the OLI project in May 2020. The $1 million contribution was then transferred to the local board’s OLI budget in the 2020/2021 financial year.

13.    The $1 million local board contribution to the OLI project remains unspent in the OLI budget as shown in table 1 below. The expenditure on the project to date has been funded by the Governing Body delegated OLI budget. The $1 million local board contribution has not yet been required.

Analysis and advice

14.       An initial budget allocation of $80,000 OLI budget was approved by the Governing Body to commence the development of a detailed business case for the Kumeū-Huapai indoor multisport facility.

15.    The detailed business case was completed and presented to the local board in November 2021. The local board endorsed the detailed business case, approving the proposed site location and the levels of provision the facility would provide the community. It is anticipated the detailed business case will be presented to the Governing Body within the 2022/2023 financial year for further decision making.

16.    The balance of the $22.4 million budget earmarked for the delivery of the project is not yet allocated to progress delivery of the project and is subject to further Governing Body decision making.

17.    For the project to progress, the OLI programme funding or equivalent will need to be confirmed or alternative sources of funding will need to be found through the support of a private or corporate investor, funding grants or other initiatives.

18.    Staff are currently investigating alternative options to support funding the facility          development. Once completed, the outcome of the investigation will be presented to the          local board for consideration.

21.    Focus areas of the work programme respond to the local board plan, the communities of greatest need and build capacity within the community, including through community-led delivery and partnerships.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

22.    The provision of services, facilities and open spaces support the realisation of the aspirations of Māori, promote community relationships, connection to the natural environment and foster holistic wellbeing of whānau, hapū and iwi Māori.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

23.       Reallocating the budget back into the Rodney Local Board LDI capital budget is regarded as a prudent step for the local board to optimise use of the LDI capex budget in future financial years. This proposal has been discussed with the Lead Financial Advisor who supports the proposed financial reallocation.

24.       The reallocation will be made by transferring the contributory amount of $1 million from the OLI fund to the Rodney LDI capex budget in the same financial years and therefore has no bottom-line impact of the capital funding approved in the long-term plan.

25.       Should the local board choose not to support the proposed reallocation, additional conversations will take place with the local board for consideration as part of the Annual Budget 2023/2024 process.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

26.    If the proposed reallocation is not approved, there is a risk that the $1 million LDI capex budget currently in the OLI project fund may be reprioritised by the Governing Body to fund other council demands and become unavailable for the Rodney Local Board to allocate to other local LDI capex projects.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

27.    Subject to the local board’s decision on the proposal outlined in this report, the $1 million contribution will be reallocated back to the LDI capex budget.

28.    Until the Governing Body make further decisions and timeframes for the delivery of the multi-sport facility, the $1 million LDI capex budget will be available for allocation to other local board priorities in the 2026/2027 and 2027/2028 financial years.

Rodney Local Board

16 November 2022

 

 

Adoption of a business meeting schedule

File No.: CP2022/15481

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.      To adopt the Rodney Local Board business meeting schedule for the period February 2023 to December 2023.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.      The Local Government Act 2002 and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 have requirements regarding local board business meeting schedules. In particular, Clause 19, Schedule 7 of the Local Government Act 2002 on general provisions for meetings requires the chief executive to give notice in writing to each local board member of the time and place of meetings. Sections 46, 46A and 47 in Part 7 of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 require that business meetings be publicly notified, agendas and reports are available at least two working days before a meeting, and that local board business meetings are open to the public.

3.      Adopting a business meeting schedule helps with meeting these requirements. It also allows for a planned approach to workloads and ensures that local board members have clarity about their commitments.

4.      A business meeting schedule for the period February 2023 to December 2023 has been developed and is included below for adoption by the local board.

5.      Frequency: One business meeting per month (excluding January) is sufficient for formal business to be considered. There are some instances for which the local board may need to have additional meetings for important decisions such as local board plans, local board agreements or to provide input into regional strategies, policies, and plans. Local board meeting schedules will be updated with any additional meetings once those details are confirmed. Outside of its scheduled meetings, local boards can call extraordinary and emergency meetings as and when required.

6.      Timing: The standard practice in previous terms is to hold the monthly ordinary business meeting in the final half of the month (weeks three or four) which enables local boards to prepare for any workshop items for these meetings in the first half of the month.

7.      Other matters: Commencing the business meeting during business hours will enable meetings to be productive, maximise access to staff and ensures best use of resources. Having the meetings in a set location ensures consistency and ability to use technology that is built into council facilities as required. This can include the use of screens, speakers and Wi-Fi connections that enable remote attendance.
