Across West Auckland is fortunate to have a variety of playgrounds for tamariki to access, many of which have accessibility features for items such as wheelchairs, to enable tamariki with physical disability to enjoy and engage in play. However, a significant portion of the community have communication disabilities and struggle to communicate effectively with their peers and/or adults supporting them. Across the motu, more and more large communication boards appear in public playgrounds, making it a place for all tamariki to access and enjoy.

Te Kete Rukuruku Tranche Two - Adoption of Māori Names

File No.: CP2022/17343

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To adopt te reo Māori names for 19 parks and one library as tranche two of Te Kete Rukuruku.

2. To approve the removal of the name Waitematā Corner from the park located at 151A Waitematā Drive, Ranui.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3. On 17 July 2018 the Henderson-Massey Local Board resolved (HM/2018/104) to invite mana whenua to name 179 parks in the Henderson-Massey area, as part of Te Kete Rukuruku, the Māori naming of parks and community places programme.

4. From that list 66 sites were prioritised for naming as tranche one and 63 Māori names were adopted on 18 May 2021 (HM/2021/63).

5. A further 41 parks from the original list of 179 sites, plus Royal Reserve and Waitākere Central Library, have been prioritised for naming in tranche two. These sites were prioritised by the local board at a workshop held on 5 October 2021 and formally approved for inclusion in tranche two on 15 February 2022, resolution HM/2022/8.

6. Starling Park was selected as the exemplar park for tranche two to receive new bilingual signage and an interpretive text telling the story behind the new Māori name (HM/2022/8).

7. Two iwi are naming in this tranche, Ngā Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara and Te Kawerau ā Maki. Ngā Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara require more time to complete their names and requested that the sites they are naming be deferred to tranche three.

8. Te Kawerau ā Maki presented names for 19 sites to the local board at a hui tuku ingoa on 6 December 2022 and these names are now ready for adoption.

9. The Māori name for Waitākere Central Library has been confirmed by both iwi and is presented for formal adoption.

Horopaki

Context

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

11. A key outcome of the programme is for te reo Māori to be seen, heard, learned and spoken. The programme contributes towards reclaiming Māori identity and the restoration of mana and mauri (life force) to the whenua (land), through the restoration of the Māori language, traditional names and associated narratives.

12. The rationale and benefits of the programme, as well as the process for identifying and adopting names and narratives, was agreed by Henderson-Massey Local Board at business meetings on 17 July 2018 and 15 February 2022.

13. On 17 July 2018, the Henderson-Massey Local Board invited mana whenua to provide Māori names and narratives for 179 parks (HM/2018/104). This was included in their 2018/2019 work programme.

14. From this large list, 66 sites were prioritised for naming. Sixty-three names were adopted on 18 May 2021 (HM/2021/63). Three sites were removed from the tranche as they were unsuitable for naming.

15. A workshop was held on 5 October 2021 where the remaining 113 tranche one sites were considered. Forty-one parks, plus Waitākere Central Library and Royal Reserve, were prioritised and approved for naming in tranche two on 15 February 2022 (HM/2022/8).

16. All 43 sites were identified for dual naming where the existing name is retained and the Māori name is added creating a dual name. Māori names precede the English in line with Auckland Council Māori naming policy.

17. Engagement along with information about the naming process on sites selected for naming is encouraged to be shared with local communities and interest groups via existing local board channels of communication. This is not undertaken by Te Kete Rukuruku or mana whenua as part of the Te Kete Rukuruku process.

18. As agreed with mana whenua and local boards te reo Māori names provided by mana whenua are not subject to public input or debate. Consultation on specific names provided is inappropriate and feedback is not sought. In some cases Māori names have been attached to the park or area for hundreds of years prior to the English name being adopted.

19. When received, the Māori names are adopted by the local board. Communication and public notification of the new names will commence following this formal adoption.

20. Te Kete Rukuruku is not a signage project and after the names are adopted signage will only be replaced when due for renewal. Should the local board wish to upgrade signage sooner to reflect the new names, funding would be required from the local board’s Locally Driven Initiatives fund. There is one exception to this which is outlined in paragraphs 22-28 below.

Bilingual exemplar park signage

21. One park is identified within each tranche where signage will be reviewed, and upgraded or replaced to include both Māori and English text. Upon project completion all signage within the selected park will be bilingual.

22. This bilingual signage is fully funded from Long-term Plan regional funding for Māori outcomes. No additional funding is required.

23. The new signage includes:

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

· bilingual wayfinding, information and bylaw signage

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

24. With a view to spending Aucklanders’ money wisely, existing signs will be reskinned, unless the signage is damaged or worn and needs to be replaced.

25. The local board identified Pukewhakataratara / Rush Creek Reserve and the contiguous Massey Leisure Centre site to receive new bilingual signage in tranche one. A dawn whakarewatanga was held to unveil the signage and celebrate the adoption of the tranche one names with the local community on 23 August 2022.

26. Starling Park was approved as the exemplar park for tranche two on 15 February 2022 (HM/2022/8).

27. The location, layout and type of signage for Starling Park is being assessed and will be provided to the local board for feedback once the name is adopted. Installation is currently planned for March 2023.

Gazettal

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

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

30. As part of Te Kete Rukuruku process any sites subject to the Reserves Act 1977 will be gazetted once the local board has adopted the names.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

31. Two iwi are naming the tranche two sites in the Henderson-Massey Local Board area:

· Te Kawerau ā Maki

· Ngā Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara.

Note: Ngā Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara Development Trust is the Post Settlement Governance Entity of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara and undertake operational activities, including naming, on behalf of Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara.

32. Forty-three sites were resolved for naming in tranche two. Ngā Maunga Whakahii have advised that they require more time and the 17 sites they are naming will now be included in tranche three.

33. A workshop was held on 29 November 2022 where the local board was advised that five sites will not be named in this tranche:

· Karaka Esplanade Reserve (provisional): This site no longer appears on council’s data base and has been incorporated into Millbrooke Esplanade Reserve

· Nirmal Place Utility Reserve: Effectively a berm

· Sunshine Boulevard Accessway: No thoroughfare, an unusable space

· Waitematā Corner: Small grass verge

· Sunhill Scenic Reserve: Crown owned land.

34. Te Kawerau ā Maki have provided names for 19 parks plus the Waitākere Central Library. The park names were presented to the local board at a hui tuku ingoa held on 6 December 2022 and are now ready for adoption.

35. Seventeen sites remain for naming from tranche two and will be deferred to tranche three to allow more time for consideration of appropriate names. It is important that adequate time be made available for mana whenua as the focus is on providing meaningful names rather than the quantity of names presented in each tranche.

36. Iwi have requested that the name Waitematā be removed from Waitematā Corner. The name has great mana and the reserve is only a small grass verge located in front of private property at 151A Waitemata Drive. Refer Attachment B.

37. At a workshop on 29 November 2022 the local board supported the request to remove the name Waitematā Corner and for the berm to be referred to by its street address only. This report seeks a formal resolution for this to occur.

38. Direction was received at another workshop held on 7 February 2023 that for the three sites with existing Māori names, the original names shall be retained. This will result in dual Māori names.

Libraries

39. Over the last two years, Connected Communities have embarked on a journey to work with iwi to provide te reo Māori names for the 55 Auckland Council libraries.

40. The preferred naming convention for libraries is Te Pātaka Kōrero o (Māori place name).

41. The concept of pātaka kōrero was developed as a metaphor for libraries. The notion of a pātaka (food storehouse) has been used as an analogy of feeding the minds of people. It also refers to the historical and cultural importance of the pātaka as a central facility of marae. Kōrero refers to the crucial role of language, stories and discussion in the transferal of information. Therefore, the combination of all of these concepts reveals “Pātaka Kōrero”.

42. Te Kete Rukuruku staff are assisting Connected Communities by working with mana whenua to finalise the names for the libraries where required.

43. There are four libraries in this local board area. These were discussed with the Henderson Massey Local Board at a workshop on 5 October 2021. Three libraries already have Māori names:

· Rānui Pātaka Kōrero / Rānui Library

· Te Atatū Pātaka Kōrero / Te Atatū Library

· Te Manawa.

44. The local board resolved to include the Waitākere Central Library for Māori naming in tranche two at their business meeting on 15 February 2022 (HM/2022/8).

45. Te Kawerau ā Maki supplied the name Te Pātaka Kōrero o Te Kōpua for the Waitākere Central Library. This is the traditional name for the Henderson area where the library is located. It means ‘deep pool’. This name is included for adoption as a dual name.

Communications approach

46. At local board level, the local communications team will work with the local board and mana whenua, with support from the programme team to develop communication outputs.

47. Messaging will be focused on what the community is gaining and being proud of what we are doing for all Aucklanders.

48. Local board communication channels will be used including Facebook pages and e-newsletters. The local communication team will also work with local boards to develop media opportunities at the time of the whakarewatanga, should the local board wish to hold one for tranche two.

49. A list of park stakeholders was provided to Te Kete Rukuruku from Local Board Services staff and emails were sent in September 2021 to all people and organisations on that list. Information provided included the list of names adopted and their meanings. A similar approach may be followed once these tranche two names are adopted.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement50. There are no substantive climate change impacts relating to this matter.

51. Signage will be replaced as it comes up for renewal with the only exception being the bilingual signage at one selected exemplar park where existing signs will be reskinned if replacement is not warranted.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

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

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

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

55. The programme has also triggered the development of new bilingual signage templates that are able to be used across the organisation.

56. The council’s Parks and Community Facilities department is responsible for renewal of existing signage and will incorporate the new dual names as and when signage is renewed.

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

Local impacts and local board views

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

58. The adoption of a Māori name resulting in a dual name adds an additional name and narrative to each site, as opposed to taking anything away from the community.

59. The addition of a Māori name and narrative contributes to a wider understanding and usage of the Māori language and the associated stories applicable to that area. It helps to enrich the park user’s experience.

60. Māori naming and bilingual signage in parks is aligned to the Henderson-Massey Local Board Plan 2020:

· Outcome three: Thriving Māori culture and identity

· Key Initiative: Progress Te Kete Rukuruku.

61. When the names are adopted and their narratives received, Auckland Council is permitted to use them for community outreach and educational purposes.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

62. Te Kete Rukuruku:

a) helps to increase Māori identity and belonging and is aligned with outcomes in the Auckland Plan.

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

c) facilitates the restoration of mana and mauri (life force) to the area through the return of the Māori language. The programme also raises the visibility of the traditional use and importance of this land to mana whenua.

d) has sought to establish a best practice approach to Māori naming and the collection and sharing of stories

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

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

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

66. Adopting the Māori name and narrative for 19 parks and one library will increase the visibility of te reo Māori in the local board area. It will safeguard the stories of mana whenua and help ensure their survival.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

67. Henderson-Massey Local Board has set aside Locally Driven Initiative (LDI) funding for this programme and this has been carried forward into the current financial year. This funding provides a partial contribution to mana whenua for their time in supporting the process including research and ratification.

68. The Henderson-Massey Local Board allocated funding in financial year 2018/2019 for naming 179 parks as tranche one of this project. Sixty-three parks had dual names adopted as tranche one in financial year 2020/2021 and funding of $11,000 (Sharepoint ID 2842) was carried forward to continue naming this financial year.

69. A small community event to unveil the bilingual signage in Starling Park can be organised to celebrate the adoption of the tranche two names. Te Kete Rukuruku recommend allowing $2,000 to hold a whakarewatanga and there is enough budget to cover the costs for such an event this financial year should the local board wish to hold one.

70. Allowing for the above event there will be $1,500 in savings that will be available for reallocation by the local board.

71. Updated dual name signage for these parks will be delivered through the Parks and Community Facilities existing renewals programmes.

72. Signage for Starling Park is fully funded from the Long-term Plan for Māori Outcomes and no additional funding is required.

Risks and mitigations

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

Potential Risks	Mitigation
Multiple mana whenua having an interest in the parks, with differing views on naming.	Timeframes are extended when required to allow robust discussion amongst iwi. The approach of the programme has been to focus on a quality agreed outcome.
Extended delays in the adoption of Māori names, continuing the predominance of English only names and missing renewal opportunities.	Splitting the tranche to allow for adoption of names as they are finalised, rather than waiting for completion of the entire tranche. This is particularly relevant when a high number of parks are being named.
Potential negative public reaction to Māori names.	The existing name is retained with the Māori name being added. Communications once the Māori names are adopted to ensure a full understanding of the significance of the names and their meanings.
High costs of replacement signage.	Signage will be replaced as it comes up for renewal so that no additional costs are incurred. The only exception being the bilingual signage at one exemplar park per tranche where reskinning will occur if replacement is not warranted.

Next steps

74. Once the names are adopted by the local board communications and public notification will commence.

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

76. The names will be entered into the council’s website as soon as possible after adoption. Upon Henderson-Massey Local Board’s formal adoption, the process for installation of bilingual signs at Starling Park will commence, with anticipated delivery in March 2023.

77. Parks and Community Facilities teams will be advised of the adopted names so that any signage being renewed will include the new Māori name.

78. A small community event (whaka-rewa-tanga) can be organised in Starling Park to unveil the new signage and celebrate the adoption of the names.

79. Staff will organise a workshop to discuss the progression of naming in tranche three and prioritisation of the remaining sites.

Henderson-Massey Local Board

21 February 2023

Approval for a new private road name at 250, 252A and 252B Great North Road Henderson

File No.: CP2023/00493

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek approval from the Henderson-Massey Local Board to name a new private road, being a commonly owned access lot (COAL), created by way of a subdivision development at 250, 252A and 252B Great North Road Henderson.

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, R.R Green Development Limited, agent John Duran of Maven Associates Limited 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 new private road at 250, 252A and 252B Great North Road Henderson are:

· Raupeti Lane (applicant’s preference)

· Manga Lane (alternative)

· Huna Lane (alternative).

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a) approves the name ‘Raupeti Lane’ for the new private road created by way of subdivision undertaken by R.R Green Development Limited at 250, 252A and 252B Great North Road Henderson, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60374846, SUB60374848 and RDN90104624).

Horopaki

Context

6. Resource consent reference BUN60374846 (subdivision ref; SUB60374848) was issued in December 2021 for the construction of 62 new residential freehold units and one commonly owned access lot (COAL).

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

8. In accordance with the Standards, every public road and any private way, COAL, 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.

9. The new private road therefore requires a road name because it serves more than five lots. This can be seen in Attachment A, where the road that requires a name is highlighted in yellow.

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: The proposed names reflect environmental/location linkage to the area, as detailed in the table below:

Proposed name	Meaning (as described by applicant)
Raupeti Lane (applicant’s preference)	‘Raupeti’ is the Te Reo Māori name of black nightshade (solanum Nigrum), a small native edible plant which was commonly found in the western boundary of the development site.
Manga Lane (alternative)	‘Manga’ means ’branch’ in Te Reo Māori. This relates to the site that is in proximity to the road network that transits to a different road network.
Huna Lane (alternative)	‘Huna’ means to hide which relates to the lizards hiding under trees, plants, and various structures in the area. Lizards located within the development site, will be relocated from the site to the adjacent Lavelle Reserve.

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: ‘Lane’ is an acceptable road type for the new road, suiting the form and layout of the road.

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.

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.

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. On 11 January 2023 mana whenua were contacted by the applicant, as set out in the Guidelines, and invited to provide feedback on road name options. Representatives of the following groups with an interest in the general area were contacted:

· Nāgti Tamaterā (Ngāti Tamaterā Settlement Trust)

· Ngāti Te Ata (Te Ara Rangatu o Te Iwi o Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua)

· Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara

· Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei

· Te Ākitai Waiohua (Te Ākitai Waiohua Iwi Authority)

· Te Kawerau ā Maki

· Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua

22. By the close of the consultation period the only response received was from Te Kawerau ā Maki who were in support of the two of the proposed road names (‘Raupeti Lane’ and ‘Manga Lane’) that had been provided for comment. Upon further correspondence with Te Kawerau ā Maki they also suggested the use of ‘Huna Lane’ which the applicant accepted and so is now included in this report.

23. 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

24. The road naming process does not raise any financial implications for the Council.

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

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

26. There are no significant risks to 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

27. 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.

Henderson-Massey Local Board

21 February 2023

Draft Contributions Policy 2022, Variation A

File No.: CP2023/00814

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek feedback from local boards on the proposal (draft Contributions Policy 2022, Variation A) to add to the Contributions Policy 2022 projects planned to be delivered beyond 2031 to support growth in Drury.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. Development contributions (DCs) are charges that recover from new developments a fair share of the cost of the council’s investment in infrastructure. To date our contributions policy has only recovered a share of cost of our infrastructure investment planned in the next ten years.

3. The council has agreed to add projects beyond 2031 to the Contributions Policy for the Investment Priority Areas identified in the 10-year Budget 2021-2031 in stages starting with Drury. This will ensure early developers pay a fair share of the cost of the cumulative impact of growth on the council’s need to invest in infrastructure.

4. The Contributions Policy 2022 was adopted in December 2021 and provides for the recovery of $399 million of the investment planned to be delivered in Drury in the period to 2031. The contributions price in Drury under this policy, including regional and sub-regional charges, is $22,564 per household equivalent unit (HUE – a house between 100m² and 249m²). We are now proposing to vary this policy to add investments we plan to deliver beyond 2031 to support development in Drury.

5. The original proposal was consulted on in late 2021 as part of the consultation on the region-wide Contributions Policy 2022. At that time, the majority of local boards were in support of the changes proposed in the draft Contributions Policy 2021

6. The Finance and Performance Committee considered the report on the proposal, which included local board views, at its meeting on 9 December 2021. The committee agreed to defer a decision on adding investment beyond 2031 to the Drury area to allow for the provision of further information requested by developers and additional time to make submissions once that information was provided.

7. The original proposal consulted on was revised accordingly and more information produced. The updated proposal included $2,470 billion of investment in Drury beyond 2031 of which $1.142 billion was to be funded by DCs. This would raise the average DC price in Drury by $60,687 to $83,25. Public consultation opened on 13 September 2022 for eight weeks, instead of the usual four weeks, and closed on 8 November 2022.

8. Sixty submissions were received, 33 of which were from those in the development community. The proposal was supported by 35 per cent of all submitters with 50 percent not in support. A further 15 per cent did not clearly state their views on the proposal.

9. This report summarises the key points made in submissions and notes officers’ initial analysis of the issues raised.

10. Local board feedback is sought to inform the Governing Body’s consideration of the adoption of the proposal planned for April 2023. The report to the Governing Body will also be updated reflecting officers' final analysis of the responses to submissions, updates reflecting additional work that has been undertaken since consultation and in particular to incorporate the latest economic forecasts and recent government decisions on their investment in Drury.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a) whakaae / approve feedback from local boards on the draft Contributions Policy 2022, Variation A.

Horopaki

Context

Development contributions and infrastructure investment

11. Development contributions allow for an equitable and proportionate share of the total cost of growth-related capital expenditure to be recovered from the development community. The Contributions Policy sets out how the council will recover from new development an appropriate and fair share of the cost of infrastructure investment attributable to growth.

Growth and infrastructure investment

12. Auckland’s population is expected to continue to grow in the next ten years on top of the rapid population growth we have experienced in the last decade, bringing the projected population to 1.8 million early next decade. We are forecasting the construction of 145,800 new dwellings in the next ten years. To support the development enabled by the Auckland Unitary Plan, we are facing both immediate and longer-term demands for infrastructure in growth areas. If we do not adequately plan for the delivery and funding of this infrastructure, the cumulative effects of this development could lead to an unfair rates burden on future ratepayers or a risk of infrastructure shortfalls for future residents.

Drury

13. Drury-Opāheke is projected to grow by 22,000 new houses over the next thirty years. The proposal identified that an infrastructure investment of $2,869 billion will be required to support this growth. This investment will include a public and active transport led approach to transport infrastructure, parks and open spaces, and a new community facility that will include a local pool, leisure centre and library.

14. Investment in Drury will take around 30 years to deliver. The Contributions Policy 2022 only requires developers to contribute to the $399 million of investment we plan to make over the next 10 years. Without DC funding for a share of the $2.470 billion investment planned beyond 2031, there is a risk that those undertaking development will not contribute a fair, equitable, and proportionate portion of the capital expenditure necessary to service long-term growth. This risk could lead to shortfalls in the provision of infrastructure for the future residents of Drury and additional and/or additional demands on the city’s ratepayers.

Consultation 2021 and decisions

15. In 2021 the council consulted on a proposal to add investments planned to be delivered in Drury beyond 2031 to the 2022 policy and over the next year to the other Investment Priority Areas (IPAs) identified in the 10-year Budget 2021-2031. The IPAs are Inner Northwest, City Rail Link stations and Auckland Housing Programme (AHP) areas (Tāmaki, Mangere, Northcote, Oranga, and Mt Roskill). This would avoid an unfair rates burden on future ratepayers or the risk of infrastructure shortfalls for the future residents of new developments. The majority of local boards supported the original proposal.

a) The Finance and Performance Committee considered a report on the proposal at its meeting on 9 December 2021 (FIN/2021/119). The committee agreed in principle to add investments beyond 2031 to the Investment Priority Areas but deferred a decision on adding investment beyond 2031 to the Drury area. This was intended to allow the provision of more information to developers and other interested parties and allow more time for them to make further submissions with the benefit of this information.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Updated proposal for consultation in 2022

16. In response to the council’s direction (resolution FIN/2021/119 b), staff undertook substantial additional work internally, commissioned five external expert reviews of our methodology and key economic issues, and sought expert transport planning and engineering advice on the proposed investments.

17. The original proposal consulted on was revised by updating our forecasts for the timing and location of growth within Drury and of construction costs, land price inflation, and interest rates.

18. External reviews were sought on our growth forecasting, cost estimation, and approach to calculating the share of costs to be recovered from developers. Recommendations from these reviews were applied to our calculations of the contributions charges for projects to be delivered beyond 2031 in Drury for inclusion in the proposal consulted on. These changes will also be considered for incorporation into the wider contributions policy as part of our future policy reviews.

19. Additional analysis of the distribution of the benefits of the proposed transport projects within Drury was also undertaken. The proposal consulted on allocated the transport costs to be recovered from development contributions to four new funding areas within Drury and to the relevant neighbouring areas. Adjustments were also made to neighbouring funding areas to reflect the benefits from community facilities investments, the regional transport funding area for wider transport benefits, and to the regional community facilities funding area for the library accordingly and more information produced.

20. Following completion of the work above the investments planned for beyond 2031 included in the consultation were:

a) $1.882 million in transport including arterial roads and key elements of the collector network to provide an integrated public and private transport network and active transport investment connecting Drury to the wider city (in addition to the $243 million council has already committed to invest before 2031)

b) $403 million for 43 new parks, with a total land requirement of 32.4 hectares (in addition to the $156 million council has already committed to invest before 2031)

c) $185 million for a single multi-purpose facility including a community facility, leisure centre, library, and local pool.

21. Stormwater requirements for Drury beyond 2031 will be identified and added to the contributions policy as more information becomes available on the location and form of development.

22. Of the $2.470 billion of projects, the proposal identified for delivery beyond 2031, $1.142 billion was proposed to be funded by developers through our contributions policy. This additional revenue requirement would raise the contributions price for Drury by an average of an additional $60,687, per household equivalent unit (HUE) to a total of on average $83,251 per HUE. Different charges would apply to different geographical areas based on the benefits accruing to each area.

Consultation

23. Public consultation opened on 13 September 2022 for eight weeks and closed on 8 November 2022. Additional information provided included 13 documents and two spreadsheets to allow submitters to better understand the proposal. These can be found on the council’s Have Your Say page.

24. During the consultation period, those from the development industry requested further information and in response the following additional materials were provided:

· Transport cost estimates for Drury. Further details on individual construction cost elements for transport projects

· Growth and HUE forecast. Spreadsheet outlining data used to forecast growth

25. Around 336 stakeholders were directly approached to advise them of the consultation. A media release was issued, and an article appeared in Our Auckland at the start of the consultation period. The consultation was also promoted through the council’s Engagement and People’s Panel newsletters. Forty-four people participated in the Have Your Say events held to support the consultation.

26. Two online and two face-to-face Have Your Say (HYS) events were held. Staff also attended a drop-in session in Drury organised by Waka Kotahi, two meetings organised by Drury developers, and a session organised by the Property Council of New Zealand. There were 44 attendees across all events representing 39 organisations. Officers also provided briefings to Waka Kotahi and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development.

27. An opportunity for developers to present their submissions directly to the Governing Body at a Have Your Say event was provided on 14 December 2022. Developers were given a ten-minute slot with five minutes for their presentation followed by 5 minutes for questions from the decision-makers. The mayor and 16 councillors, heard presentations from 14 organisations at the session.

Feedback and Analysis

28. Sixty submissions were received. Overall, the proposal was supported by 35 per cent of submitters with 50 percent opposing it. A further 15 per cent did not clearly state their support or otherwise to the proposal. Key themes raised in the submissions are identified below. The submissions received in the consultation are available to elected members on the council’s meeting management system Nexus.

29. 26 individuals and one Māori organisation provided feedback. Of these, 69 per cent were in support of this proposal, 15 per cent did not support the proposal while the views of 15 per cent of submitters were not clearly stated.

30. Eleven of the individuals who supported the proposal commented that it was fair that developers should pay their fair share towards infrastructure. Those who did not state their support or otherwise thought that the council should support infrastructure development.

31. 33 responses were from those in the development industry. Responses from the industry show that 79 per cent opposed the proposal, six per cent supported it and 15 per cent did not state a clear view. Key themes from the developers’ feedback are outlined below.

Impact of higher development contributions

Feedback

32. Developers’ submissions noted the following concerns that higher DCs will:

· lead to higher house prices as developers seek to recover the increased costs. Developers who had already purchased land commented that they will be particularly disadvantaged as the increased DCs have not been included in the costs of their development

· lead to Drury being treated unfairly in relation to the rest of the city with much higher DCs

· discourage the construction of affordable housing as developers seek to recover higher costs with more expensive developments

· redirect development from Drury to other areas of the city with lower DC prices. Lower DCs are charged in wealthy established central parts of the city where infrastructure is already in place whereas incoming residents to Drury, where affordable housing can be built, are less able to afford higher DCs

· encourage land banking in Drury until house prices rise further or the policy changes.

Analysis

33. For developers who have purchased land recently higher DCs will put pressure on their margins. While staff acknowledge the impact a substantial increase in contributions charges is required if developers are to meet a fair share of cost of the investments required to support Drury’s development. The DCs charged in Drury will be higher than those in other parts of the city but this will reflect the council’s commitment to invest in infrastructure in Drury.

34. In feedback received from the original consultation, developers expressed concern about the equity of charging them now for investments that wouldn’t be delivered until the next decade. Our independent expert advice confirms the council’s previously presented analysis: that while the physical infrastructure wouldn’t be delivered until later, current landowners still benefit from the commitment to deliver in terms of higher land values. Furthermore, development occurring during the early years of this policy still contributes to the need for planned capital expenditure that will be incurred beyond 10 years’ time.

35. The independent economic consultants were asked for their views on the equity of our proposal to consider the likely impact of the proposal on house prices, and the viability of development in Drury. The consultants concluded that while the DC price will lower the price developers are willing to pay for land, this reduction is much lower than the increase in land value arising from the planning changes that enable housing development. There may be an indirect effect on the sequence of sites getting taken up for new housing across the city in the short term as development adjusts around a new equilibrium. However, this will be small relative to other market factors. Higher DCs may be an additional cost to development and could be argued to increase the return to holding land undeveloped however, earlier delivery of infrastructure funded by DCs is likely to accelerate development. The full report was included in the supporting documents pack released as part of the consultation process.

Complexity with a 30-year time frame

Feedback

36. Comments were provided on the accuracy of information on infrastructure requirements planned over a 30-year timeframe, including the assurance that revenue collected today will be used for future investment in infrastructure. Other comments from submitters include:

· possibility that infrastructure will not be needed resulting in over collection of DCs

· impact of inflation on delivery of projects over time adds complexity

· complexities arise around the accuracy of the price of infrastructure over a 30-year timeframe creating uncertainty. For example, when trying to estimate things such as inflation, delivery risks, costs of infrastructure, and future infrastructure demand over a 30-year period

· doubt that benefits will be received by early developers

· actions the council will have to take to ensure money collected today will be spent on delivery of the projects over 30-year period

· it is not clear what happens to the initially unspent portions of development contributions paid, but intended to fund works that are 1, 2 or 3 decades in the future.

Analysis

37. Forecasting capital expenditure over a 30-year horizon inevitably involves a higher degree of uncertainty than capex over the horizon of the 10-year Budget 2021-2031. However, the Local Government Act 2002 allows for development contributions to be recovered to fund capital expenditure to be incurred beyond the LTP period (10 years). The council may also vary the mix of projects for which development contributions will be used if there is a relevant change of circumstances relating to those projects, and the overall level of contribution does not increase.

38. Our contributions policy is reviewed every three years to ensure that our planned infrastructure investment continues to meet the need of the developing community and is appropriately costed using the latest available information. This enables us to respond to changing circumstances, while ensuring that our charges remain fair for developers.

Consideration of other sources of funding

Feedback

39. Several submitters considered the council should have given more consideration to alternative funding mechanisms before deciding to impose DCs. Submitters noted the council:

· has not demonstrated sufficient consideration of alternative funding methods such as Infrastructure Funding and Financing through the Crown Infrastructure Partners

· should consider the use of other funding and financing tools – such as targeted rates, congestion charging, Special Purpose Vehicles through the Funding and Financing Act and Specified Development Areas through the Urban Development Act – alongside DCs.

· should consider using targeted rates to cover the costs of infrastructure that cannot easily be identified with sufficient certainty, subject to these rates being ringfenced for sole use on infrastructure to facilitate growth in the specific area in which the targeted rate applies.

Analysis

40. The council’s Revenue and Financing Policy notes that at present DCs will be used to fund growth infrastructure. However, the Revenue and Financing Policy also makes provision for the use of other tools such as targeted rates and would also allow the use of levies under the Infrastructure Funding and Finance Act. All these tools have the same effective revenue for the council and cost for developers and landowners (the net present value is the same) but are triggered at different times.

41. These options remain open to the council and can be used in combination with development contributions. The first step under any of these options is to establish the investments required to support growth in the IPAs and the appropriate share to be recovered from developers or landowners. All tools need to be applied early in the process to ensure early developments pay their share. The potential application of these funding tools will be considered in the advice to council in April.

Accuracy and assumptions used in the model

Feedback

42. Comments were provided on the accuracy of information on infrastructure requirements planned over a 30-year timeframe, including the assurance that revenue collected today will be used for future investment in infrastructure. Submitters also noted:

· concern that the costings for the various projects incorporate excessive assumptions in respect of construction cost, contingency funding cost, and general inflation.

· the recent plan changes which have not been considered

· the model includes invalid assumptions concerning developer funded mitigation works and DC funded works, likely to lead to double dipping and over-recovery.

43. Comments on projects were also provided:

· the new policy encourages the council to design projects that are “gold plated” and have higher initial capital expenditure

· changes in transport patterns (e.g., mode share, e-bike subscriptions and sharing platforms) will influence future transport requirements.

· the full list of transportation projects arrived at by Supporting Growth Alliance has never been justified as being required to mitigate the effects of development in Drury East

· an independent audit of the proposed projects and their intended scale is requested to help ascertain how much of the increased cost relates to local rather than general factors

· the policy projects listed assumes that the council will purchase land from developers when in practice it is likely to require the land and infrastructure on it to be vested without charge or at a discount rate pursuant to the consent process will not incur these costs.

Analysis

44. A formal review was undertaken of the methodology the council uses to set DC charges. To do this, three external advisors were contracted to review our methods for growth forecasting, cost estimation, and how we assess the beneficiaries that underpin the DC charge calculations.

45. The feedback from our earlier consultation, the recommendations of these reviews, and our updated data models have allowed the DC calculation methodology to be refined to better suit the specific circumstances of Drury. The financial models were updated following a review conducted in November 2021. No errors in logic or in the functionality were identified in a review conducted in November 2022.

Updates to proposal

46. Further analysis of the feedback raised by developers will be presented to the Governing Body for decision making, planned for April 2023 and will include potential changes to the proposed amendment. Officers are in the process of updating the proposal to incorporate further work we have undertaken since consultation concluded to:

· respond as appropriate to issues raised in submissions including in the key areas noted below

· refine the projects and project costings in the proposal including

o estimates of developer mitigation - roading investments that developers will be required to provide as a condition of consent

o property costing

o investment decisions by the government

o community facilities funding areas

o transport funding areas

· update the forecasts of the following factors to reflect the latest economic conditions and predictions:

o growth in the Drury area – reflecting recent plan change decisions

o interest rates

o construction cost inflation

o land price inflation.

Compliance

47. Some submitters expressed a view that the proposal is not legally compliant and that there may be a case for a judicial review. Staff advice on the Contributions Policy is given in the context of highly prescriptive provisions of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) which cover the content of a contributions policy and the assessment of contributions. These provisions are the only source of the council’s power to require development contributions and must be strictly complied with.

48. Staff have reviewed the proposal and will consider the matters raised in submissions giving consideration to the legislative requirements in the LGA, including specific content requirements for development contributions policies, and the council’s Revenue and Financing Policy.

Climate impact statement

49. Recommendations in this report have a neutral climate impact as they relate to the funding of capital investment rather than decisions on the activities to be undertaken.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

50. The information presented on the projects included in the draft Contributions Policy 2022 Variation A was developed in conjunction with the following council-controlled organisations and council units:

· Auckland Transport

· Community Facilities

· Community and Social Policy.

51. The Chief Economist Unit and Research Investigations and Monitoring Unit worked with us on growth and economic forecasts, the impact of higher development contributions on the pace of development, and on land and house prices.

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

Local impacts and local board views

52. The Drury funding area in the proposal is within the Franklin and Papakura local board areas. The recommendations in this report support a higher level of infrastructure investment in the Drury area and sets a higher DC price in this area.

53. Local board feedback is sought to inform the Governing Body’s consideration of the adoption of the Contribution Policy 2022, Variation A in April 2023.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

54. Development contributions are assessed against the demand that different types of development generate on council infrastructure. Māori developments are assessed under broader development types based on the demand they generate. For example, kaumātua housing is treated the same as retirement villages, and marae are considered under community facilities. As more Māori developments occur, evidence of demand generation can be used to reclassify developments or create new development types.

55. Eleven iwi authorities (with mana whenua interests) in the Drury area were contacted prior to the start of consultation to seek expressions of interest in discussing and providing feedback on the proposed changes. All iwi authorities were also notified when consultation opened, further advising of how they could have their say. Opportunities to present to the Mana Whenua forum, the Independent Māori Statutory Board and other council forums were explored, however, this topic was not seen as a priority area at the time. One response supporting this proposal was received from mana whenua who considered this was a fairer way to fund the required infrastructure.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

56. There are no financial implications from requesting local boards views.

57. The proposal provides for additional investment by the council beyond 2031 to support growth in Drury of $2.470 billion. The draft Contributions Policy, Variation A provides for $1.142 billion of this investment to be funded by DCs.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

58. The recommendation requesting local boards views does not present any risk. The risks associated with amending the contributions policy will be set out in the report to the Governing Body planned for April 2023.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

59. Feedback from the public consultation will be reported to the Governing Body in February 2023.

60. Staff will provide advice, options and responses to the issues raised in the feedback to the Governing Body to assist in their decision making.

61. A decision-making report to the Governing Body is planned for April 2023 and will include potential changes to the draft policy and local board feedback.

62. All local board feedback is due on 3 March 2023.

Henderson-Massey Local Board

21 February 2023

Local board feedback on the draft Future for Local Government report

File No.: CP2023/00089

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek feedback from local boards on the Draft Report released by the Future for Local Government Review Panel.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The Future for Local Government Review Panel released its Draft Report (the Report) for consultation on 28 October 2022.

3. Auckland Council is preparing a submission in response to the Report. Submissions close on 28 February 2023.

4. The Report makes 29 recommendations on a wide range of areas including: revitalising citizen-led democracy, achieving Tiriti-based partnership between Māori and local government, the approach to allocating roles and functions across different players, achieving genuine partnership between central and local government, more equitable funding, designing a local government system to enable the change we need, and putting in place effective system stewardship.

5. Auckland Council has previously reached positions on some of the Report’s recommendations through programmes of work or engagement with central government. These positions will be the starting point for preparing the submission but there will be an opportunity for this council to reconsider those positions.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a) provide feedback on the Draft Report to inform the council’s draft submission.

Horopaki

Context

6. The Minister for Local Government established the Future for Local Government Review (the Review) in April 2021 and established a Review Panel (the Panel). The purpose of the Review is to identify how our local democracy and governance system needs to evolve over the next 30 years, to improve the wellbeing of communities and the environment and to actively embody the Treaty partnership.

7. The Panel released its Interim Report in October 2021. The case for change described a local government under pressure without all the levers needed to deliver on community wellbeing. The sector therefore needs to work collaboratively with others including central government, iwi/Māori organisations, the business sector and community groups. It noted that trust had broken down and that there is a need for greater understanding between central government and local government.

8. The Panel released its Draft Report He mata whāriki, he matawhānui on 28 October 2022. The Report can be found at: https://www.futureforlocalgovernment.govt.nz/reports/

9. The Report makes 29 recommendations and asks a range of questions intended to inform the Final Report to the Minister.

10. The Panel states that we are in a period of change (climate change, pandemics, biodiversity loss, social and economic inequity). This is causing many of our communities to lose trust in democratic institutions and to disengage. Government reform is creating further uncertainty for the role of local government in communities.

11. The challenges facing Aotearoa New Zealand are too big for central government to address alone. Local government has a fundamental role to play in responding to these complex issues and improving the wellbeing of communities. This will require renewal and change (shifts) to many aspects of the local government system.

12. The Panel previously indicated five shifts are needed to make this change: strengthened local democracy, authentic relationships with hapū/iwi and Māori, a focus on wellbeing, genuine partnership between central and local government, and more equitable funding. Two additional shifts – system design and stewardship – will also need to be considered.

13. The Report sets out recommendations and asks questions in relation to: revitalising citizen-led democracy, Tiriti-based partnership between Māori and local government, allocating roles and functions, local government as champion and activator of wellbeing, replenishing and building on representative democracy, and equitable funding and finance.

14. Following the release of the Report, the Review Panel undertook a further round of engagement with the local government sector across New Zealand. This included three in-person sessions with local board members in Auckland on 5 and 6 December 2022.

15. The Governing Body has approved the preparation of an Auckland Council submission in response to the Report. Submissions are due by 28 February 2023.

16. The Panel’s Final Report is due with the Minister by June 2023. Any response to the Panel’s final recommendations will be a decision for the next government.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

17. The purpose of the Review is highly relevant to local government and Auckland Council.

18. Some recommendations in the Report are of a functional order (e.g. allocation of roles), some more foundational (e.g. Te Tiriti based partnerships) and some about the ‘system’ we work within. The Report does not necessarily set out all the relationships/interdependencies between the components.

19. It is proposed that the council’s submission draws these connections where possible to ensure there is a clear understanding of how all elements of the future system will work together and potential impacts and risks. Council should also seek further clarity on the future funding framework for local government and the pathway to build the required capability and capacity to carry out its future role.

20. The council has formed positions in previous terms on a number of recommendations contained in the Report. These will be the starting point for preparing the submission but there will be an opportunity for this council to reconsider those positions through the drafting process.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

21. The Report acknowledges that councils have a significant role in mitigating and adapting to climate impacts in their areas. It also notes that the future climate challenge for local government is likely to be greater than the challenge it has faced over the past 30 years to address the infrastructure deficit.

22. Current funding streams to manage the impacts of climate events are already being challenged, placing many communities at risk and requiring a long-term approach to addressing these issues. The sums involved to mitigate and respond to climate effects are likely to be significant.

23. Accordingly, the Report recommends (recommendation 23) that central government develops an intergenerational fund for climate change, with the application of the fund requiring appropriate regional and local decision-making input.

24. In its submission on the Draft National Adaptation Plan earlier this year, Auckland Council argued that central government funding is crucial and must have a long-term focus.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

25. CCO chairs and chief executives have been provided with a summary and high-level analysis of the Report.

26. CCO staff are included in the experts across the council group who will develop the council’s submission for approval.

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

Local impacts and local board views

27. The Report proposes that putting wellbeing at the core of council’s purpose and its roles and functions will unlock greater wellbeing outcomes for communities. Councils have an opportunity to strengthen and expand their role in three key ways: as anchor institutions, place-makers, and systems networkers and convenors.

28. The Report also proposes a framework to guide the allocation of roles and functions between different actors: central government, local government, hapū/iwi and community. The framework starts with a local-first approach (the subsidiarity principle) and is guided by te ao Māori values.

29. The Panel has engaged with local board members over the course of the Review in July 2021, March 2022 and most recently on 5 and 6 December 2022 through three separate in-person sessions held across Auckland.

30. Local board views on the Report are sought and will be incorporated into the council’s submission as appropriate. Formal local board feedback will be appended to council’s submission.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

31. A finding of the Review is that the system needs to ensure a more meaningful expression of rangatiratanga and a more culturally specific exercise of kāwanatanga by councils, with te ao Māori values reflected at all levels of the system.

32. In response, the Report proposes fundamental changes to Te Tiriti o Waitangi provisions of the Local Government Act 2002, a strategic role for Māori in identifying and addressing priority outcomes that will lift community wellbeing, as well as strengthened specific mechanisms for partnership and engagement (including the incorporation of tikanga Māori).

33. It also proposes improvements to Māori representation at the council table, and a concerted investment in the capability and capacity of both local government and Māori to build and maintain a Tiriti-based partnership in local governance.

34. Staff have engaged with iwi on the system shifts proposed by the Panel at earlier stages in the Review process. Now that the Report has been released, iwi have been asked for their views to be considered for inclusion in council’s submission.

35. There has been ongoing engagement with IMSB staff on the Review and they will have an opportunity to review the council’s submission.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

36. The submission will be developed within existing resources.

37. The recommendations of the Review Panel are multi-faceted and there is insufficient information to anticipate or quantify financial implications for the council.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

38. No risks have been identified in relation to preparation of council’s submission.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

39. Staff are drafting a submission for the Governing Body’s approval at its meeting on 23 February 2023.

40. There will be a briefing on the Draft Report for local board members on 23 January 2023.

41. Local board views to be considered for incorporation into council’s submission must be received by 2 February 2023.

42. Formal feedback to be appended to council submissions must be received by 23 February 2023.

Climate impact statement

16. Receiving performance monitoring reports will not result in any identifiable changes to greenhouse gas emissions.

17. Work programmes were approved in June 2022 and delivery is underway. Should significant changes to any projects be required, climate change impacts will be assessed as part of the relevant reporting requirements. Any changes to the timing of approved projects are unlikely to result in changes to emissions.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Financial implications

23. This report is provided to enable the Henderson-Massey Local Board to monitor the organisation’s progress and performance in delivering the 2022/2023 work programmes. There are no financial implications associated with this report.

Financial Performance

24. Auckland Council (Council) currently has a number of bonds quoted on the NZ Stock Exchange (NZX). As a result, the Council is subject to obligations under the NZX Main Board & Debt Market Listing Rules and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 sections 97 and 461H. These obligations restrict the release of half-year financial reports and results until the Auckland Council Group results are released to the NZX on 28 February 2023.

25. Due to these obligations the financial performance information (Attachment B) to the quarterly report is excluded from the public.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

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

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

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

28. The local board will receive the next performance update following the end of quarter three, 31 March 2023.
