Urgent decision: Manurewa Local Board feedback on the Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Community Participation) Amendment Bill

File No.: CP2023/02245

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.      To note the Manurewa Local Board decision made under the local board’s urgent decision-making process to provide feedback on the Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Community Participation) Amendment Bill.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.      At its meeting on 17 November 2022 the Manurewa Local Board resolved (MR/2022/169) the following in relation to urgent decision-making:

That the Manurewa 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.

3.      Auckland Council was given the opportunity to contribute to the Auckland Council submission on the Supply of Alcohol (Community Participation) Amendment Bill.

4.      Local board input into that submission was sought with a deadline of 1 February 2023.

5.      The next Manurewa Local Board business meeting was on Thursday 16 February 2023 and therefore the opportunity for the local board to formalise its feedback by resolution fell outside of the scheduled business meeting times, and an urgent decision was required.

6.      The board’s draft feedback was circulated to all members for comment before being approved and submitted.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      note the Manurewa Local Board urgent decision dated 31 January 2023 providing local board feedback on the Supply of Alcohol (Community Participation) Amendment Bill as follows:

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)       provide the following feedback on the Sale and Supply of Alcohol (Community Participation) Amendment Bill:

Removing appeal rights for Proposed Local Alcohol Policies

i)       the board supports removing appeal rights for Proposed Local Alcohol Policies (LAPs). We believe that local authorities should be able to create rules around the access to and availability of alcohol that are responsive to the needs of their communities. LAPs are the key mechanism to achieve this, and we support amending the law to allow them to be adopted and implemented without unnecessary delays. 

ii)       we support the additional recommendations in the Auckland Council submission that the Bill should:

·     state that the standard of evidence required to justify elements of an LAP is that the proposal will have a ‘real and appreciable possibility’ of achieving its objective.

·     enable LAPs that are subject to appeal to come into effect in part.

Broadening ability to object to granting a licence

iii)      the board supports broadening the ability to object to granting an alcohol licence so that any person can object to an application for a licence or renewal of a licence, whether as an individual or a representative of a group or an organisation. This will allow for greater community participation in decisions on local alcohol licences.

District Licence Committee (DLC) hearings

iv)      the board supports allowing DLC hearings to be conducted without unnecessary formality and removing the ability for parties at the hearing to question other parties or witnesses.

v)      we believe that the current formal hearings process creates unnecessary barriers for community members to participate in the alcohol licensing process. In particular, the experience of being aggressively questioned by lawyers or applicant representatives can be very intimidating for members of the public.

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.      To note the Manurewa Local Board decision made under the local board’s urgent decision-making process to provide feedback on the Water Services Legislation Bill.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.      At its meeting on 17 November 2022 the Manurewa Local Board resolved (MR/2022/169) the following in relation to urgent decision-making:

That the Manurewa Local Board:

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      note the Manurewa Local Board urgent decision dated 21 February 2023 providing local board feedback on the Water Services Legislation Bill as follows:

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      provide the following feedback on the Water Services Legislation Bill (‘the Bill’):

i)       the board is concerned that the proposed governance structure of the new water services entities does will result in drastically reduced accountability to Auckland’s elected members and voters. Additionally, we are not convinced that transferring responsibility for the three waters to these entities will deliver tangible benefits for the people of Auckland, since Watercare already performs the functions that the new water services entity would undertake with regard to drinking water and wastewater. We consider that Watercare has a proven track record of managing these services to a very high standard. We do not support proceeding with the transfer of functions, powers and assets to the new water services entities.

We are also concerned about undertaking the process of establishing the new water service entities and transferring assets to them in a general election year. Depending on the outcome of the election, there is a risk that large amounts of time and resource will be expended on this, only for the reforms to be reversed by an incoming Government. For this reason, we believe that the Three Waters Reform Programme should be placed on hold until after the general election.

Our further feedback below should be read in the context of the statement above and should not be considered to indicate endorsement of this Bill.

ii)       the board does not support local government organisation assets that do not relate wholly to the provision of water services being eligible to transfer to water services entities. Assets that partly or largely serve other purposes, such as local parks and reserves which have stormwater assets located in them, or stormwater ponds that are also used for recreational purposes should not be eligible to transfer. Assets that have been identified in a local government organisation’s plan or strategy for future non water purpose should not be transferred without the agreement of the local government organisation.

iii)      any asset transfers from local government organisations to water services entities must not result in local government organisations being left with liabilities for assets they no longer control. All liabilities relating to an asset must also be transferred with the asset.

iv)      the board seeks reassurance that the Water Utility Consumer Assistance Trust will continue to operate and receive funding if Watercare’s role and assets are transferred to the Northern Water Services Entity. It is vital that their role in providing financial support to customers who are struggling to manage water and wastewater costs is maintained.

v)      the Bill includes requirements on how water services entities should consult when making decisions, but not on who should be consulted with. There should be specific requirements in the Bill as to when local government organisations must be consulted with. In recognition of Auckland Council’s unique governance model, there should also be specific requirements to ensure that local boards are consulted regarding any proposal that might affect their local areas.

vi)      the board is concerned that this Bill does not address the funding model for water services going forward. It is essential that, if this new system is implemented, funding to ensure that it will be sustainable is guaranteed.

An evaluation of the local board Tuia rangatahi mentoring programme

File No.: CP2023/02295

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.      To receive an evaluation of the local board Tuia rangatahi mentoring programme (Tuia) and consider recommendations.

2.      To provide an opportunity for the local board Tuia rangatahi mentor to update the board on how the programme is progressing.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3.      The local board supports the Tuia rangatahi mentoring programme and has done so for 3 years. The local board work programme budget is $3000 for 2022/2023, and this is the typical level of annual investment for this programme.

4.      The Tuia programme is described as a long-term approach to developing and enhancing the way in which rangatahi Māori contribute to communities throughout New Zealand. The programme involves local Mayors (in most councils across New Zealand) and local board leaders (in the south of Auckland) selecting a young Māori from their district to mentor on a one-to-one basis throughout a calendar year, to develop leadership skills and provide an educational experience in local government and civic affairs.

5.      Currently the council staff support for Tuia is primarily provided by southern Local Board Services teams providing administration and some coordination, with specific assistance from Local Board Communications and Connected Communities in promoting the rangatahi mentoring opportunity to iwi, youth and community groups.

6.      In Auckland, local boards of Franklin, Papakura, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, Ōtara-Papatoetoe and Manurewa have committed to Tuia, offering annual rangatahi places on the mentoring programme.

7.      I Am Auckland is the name of Auckland Council’s strategic action plan for children and young people. It was adopted in 2013 following significant consultation with the region’s rangatahi (young people). It sets out council’s commitments to children and young people in Tāmaki Makaurau.

8.      In 2021 the Parks, Arts, Community and Events (PACE) committee of the Governing Body endorsed a recommendation to carry out a three-year review of the strategy to reflect the changing lives of Auckland’s children and young people, including the impact of COVID-19.

9.      In response to the PACE committee resolution, Tuia was one of a number of council group programmes evaluated. The evaluation report was completed in December 2022 and has been prepared by the Centre for Social Impact at Attachment A. There are some recommendations from this evaluation, and this report seeks the local board’s consideration of these.

10.    A schedule of Auckland Council local boards Tuia rangatahi programme mentors and rangatahi for 2023 is Attachment B. Tuia rangatahi have recently been confirmed for this year and it is proposed that the board’s Tuia rangatahi mentor give a brief verbal update on how the 2023 programme is progressing.

        

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      receive the evaluation of the local board Tuia rangatahi mentoring programme (Tuia)

b)      accepts in principle the evaluation recommendations:

i)    ongoing support for and strengthening of Tuia, noting that there are current budgetary constraints and that 2023/2024 local board work programmes are yet to be approved

ii)   facilitating opportunities for rangatahi and local boards to engage in the larger national conversation about participatory democracy and civics education

iii)  sharing Tuia evaluation learnings and insights with other local boards and other parts of the council group

iv)  further engagement with mana whenua on Tuia to seek insight and learning

v)   an increase in operational capacity (identifying a dedicated resource) to support the continuous improvement and upscaling of the Tuia programme, if this can be sourced through Kia ora te rangatahi outcomes funding

vi)  enhanced professional development for mentors

c)      refer this report, attachments and resolutions to the following key staff requesting advice and response to the evaluation recommendations, especially as there are currently few programmes and investment in Kia ora te rangatahi strategic outcomes by the council group:

i)    Ngā Mātārae Heads of Strategic Outcomes and Relationships/Partnerships

ii)   Māori Outcome leads for Customer and Community Services, Tātaki Auckland Unlimited and the Chief Planning Office

iii)  Lead officer for Kia ora te rangatahi (youth) and Kia ora te hononga (effective Māori participation) strategic outcomes

d)      refer the report, attachments and resolutions to all local boards for their information

e)      receive a verbal update from the board’s Tuia rangatahi mentor on how the 2023 programme is progressing.

 

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Local board work programme

11.    The local board supports the Tuia rangatahi mentoring programme and has done so for 3 years. The local board work programme budget is $3000 for 2022/2023, and this is the typical level of annual investment for this programme.

About the local board Tuia rangatahi mentoring programme

12.    Tuia is a programme that has a national and local component. Founded by the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs in 2011, the basis for this initiative is that with the right support and the right opportunities, young leaders can become effective drivers of social and economic change in their respective communities.

13.    The Tuia programme is described as a long-term approach to developing and enhancing the way in which rangatahi Māori contribute to communities throughout New Zealand. The programme involves local Mayors (in most councils across New Zealand) and local board leaders (in the south of Auckland) selecting a young Māori from their district to mentor on a one-to-one basis throughout a calendar year, to develop leadership skills and provide an educational experience in local government and civic affairs.

14.    The young person (rangatahi) is mentored regularly by a local board member, and is supported by the whole local board, involving informal meetings and attending more formal occasions. The relationship also provides both partners – rangatahi and the local board – an opportunity to gain insight into intergenerational issues, values and their respective ‘worlds’.

15.    The programme also seeks to build an ever-increasing network of rangatahi who are contributing to their communities and supporting each other. This is done through the national Tuia wānanga, enabling relationships to be developed across a diverse range of rangatahi throughout the country who recognise, accept and celebrate their whānaungatanga as well as their diversity.

16.    Three pou (pillars) make up the Tuia rangatahi experience:

·    mentoring

·    community contribution

·    wānanga.

17.    Rangatahi are invited and encouraged to attend five wānanga on marae in different parts of the country over the year to build their networks, obtain support, and undertake leadership development opportunities, in an environment that nurtures and celebrates te ao Māori.

18.    The local board mentors select rangatahi Māori using the following criteria:

·    aged between 18-25 years old

·    actively involved in contributing to the wellbeing of their community at some level

·    able to commit to being involved in this part-time programme over a period of 12 months and have support from others to participate in the programme (i.e. whānau, hapū, pakeke (elders), employers, community organisation)

·    be open-minded and willing to contribute to discussions and workshop and be well-organised and can manage their time and commitments effectively.

19.    The Tuia programme has had varying support from different parts of Auckland Council over the years. Currently Local Board Services staff support the administration and some coordination of this programme at the local level, with advice and assistance from colleagues in Local Board Communications and Connected Communities.

20.    National wānanga are coordinated and organised by the Tuia Charitable Trust. From 2011 to 2022 the Tuia programme involved 56 councils, 19 iwi and community-based organisations, and over 350 rangatahi participated.

21.    In Auckland, local boards of Franklin, Papakura, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, Ōtara-Papatoetoe and Manurewa have committed to Tuia, offering annual rangatahi places on the mentoring programme.

Evaluation of the Tuia programme

22.    I Am Auckland is the name of Auckland Council’s strategic action plan for children and young people. It was adopted in 2013 following significant consultation with the region’s rangatahi (young people). It sets out council’s commitments to children and young people in Tāmaki Makaurau.

23.    In 2021 the Parks, Arts, Community and Events committee of the Governing Body endorsed a recommendation to carry out a three-year review of the strategy to reflect the changing lives of Auckland’s children and young people, including the impact of COVID-19.

24.    The three-year review included an evaluation of a selected number of existing child and youth programmes delivered by the Auckland Council group. The purpose was to understand what outcomes these programmes achieve and how these align with the goals of I Am Auckland. A key objective was also to provide programme organisers with valuable insights and learnings.

25.    The Centre for Social Impact was commissioned to undertake the evaluations, and six council programmes were selected for evaluation through an expression of interest process:

i)    Local board Tuia rangatahi mentoring programme: Supports rangatahi from the Franklin, Papakura, Māngere-Ōtahuhu, Ōtara-Papatoetoe and Manurewa local boards to contribute to their communities with mentorship from local board members, civics education, community projects, and wānanga with other mentees

ii)   He Pia He Tauira: Provides opportunities for young people from mana whenua iwi to engage with Eke Panuku and express kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga through regenerative placemaking activity

iii)  The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Squad (TOPS): A youth voice initiative that offers leadership development and opportunities for young people in the Ōtara-Papatoetoe local board area

iv)  West Tech: Increases digital equity by teaching children and young people in West Auckland how to repair laptops and other digital devices

v)   Tula’i: West Auckland based leadership programme for Pasifika youth that includes youth mentoring, inspirational speakers, connection with parents, a camp, and community service

vi)  Girl on Fire: North Shore based programme that encourages young Asian girls to increase physical activity and build leadership skills.

26.    The programmes were chosen after meeting at least two of the following selection criteria:

i)    cover at least two I Am Auckland goals

ii)   deliver to areas of most need i.e. south and west Auckland

iii)  deliver to tamariki and rangatahi Māori

iv)  deliver to Pacific or Asian populations

v)   are youth-led

vi)  target multiple outcome areas e.g. arts and employment

vii) cover other priority child and youth populations e.g. disabled or rainbow young people.

27.    The Tuia programme evaluation report prepared by the Centre for Social Impact is dated December 2022 and is at Attachment A.

28.    A schedule of Auckland Council local boards Tuia rangatahi programme mentors and rangatahi for 2023 is Attachment B.

Benefits of the Tuia programme

29.    In 2016, former Mayor of Auckland Len Brown, engaged with the Tuia rangatahi programme on behalf of Auckland Council in support of the Mayoral Taskforce for Jobs initiative. Mayor Len Brown commended the Tuia programme to south Auckland local boards given the significant Māori youth population. Five southern local boards have embraced the programme. Local boards assuming this role in Auckland was seen as most appropriate, given the scale of Auckland, the number of rangatahi Māori, and the capacity of a single mayor for the whole region of Tāmaki Makaurau.

30.    The Tuia programme evaluation (Attachment A) and anecdotal evidence highlights the value and success of the programme. It is indicating that the mentor/mentee model at local board level is impactful. This programme aligns with many local board objectives and I Am Auckland goals. The programme is showing potential to become a strategic enabler of longer-term succession, engagement and civics education across the local boards and their respective communities. In the south Auckland context, Tuia is proving to be a platform for enhancing local board member community networks and iwi relationships, building rangatahi capability/experiences and developing local community succession-planning.

Recommendations from the evaluation

31.    There are a number of recommendations from the evaluation for the local board’s consideration.

Strengthening the future Tuia

32.    The evaluation identifies a number of benefits of the programme and recommends ongoing advocacy for and promotion of Tuia. The evaluation also notes alignment of this local board programme with some of the recommendations in the Future for Local Government review. For example, the Future for Local Government review discusses the need to increase community understanding about the role of local government, and therefore encourage greater civics education and participation, as well as ensuring te ao Māori values and mechanisms for partnership and engagement are reflected at all levels of council systems. In its own way, the Tuia programme is delivering to these outcome areas in local governance of Tāmaki Makaurau.

Looking at Tuia as part of a larger conversation on participatory democracy and civics education

33.    The evaluation recommends that south Auckland local boards are facilitated to connect with the Tuia national body, as an opportunity for rangatahi and local boards to engage with the larger national conversation about participatory democracy and civics education. This connection may also facilitate a more in-depth understanding about the impact of the Tuia programme over time by evaluation at national, as well as regional and local levels.

Building ongoing evaluation into Tuia

34.    The sharing of evaluation data and insights with key stakeholders is recommended as part of the evaluation, and that this be integrated into the future programme design. Council group staff and mentors involved in Tuia could connect with the national Tuia body to collaborate on evaluation approaches, and to share learnings and insights from local boards, mentors and rangatahi with other governance entities in Auckland and other regions.

Tuia and engagement with mana whenua iwi

35.    The evaluation recommends active engagement with mana whenua on Tuia. There is currently strong engagement with some of the south Auckland local boards and iwi mana whenua, which has been further enhanced by the Tuia connection. There is the example of Franklin Local Board and Ngaati Te Ata in the evaluation. It is recommended a discussion with iwi mana whenua takes place, to get feedback to help understand why iwi engage with Tuia (when they are), what value they see from Tuia, and what are their aspirations are for rangatahi in their rohe / area. From these learnings, and sharing the successes of Tuia to date, engagement in Tuia by other iwi who haven’t yet been involved may better received.

Dedicated Tuia resource

36.    The evaluation recommends an increase in operational capacity (identifying a dedicated resource) to support the continuous improvement and upscaling of the Tuia programme. The programme has remained confined to southern local boards since commencing in Auckland, and there would likely be benefits, interest from other local boards and other iwi and community organisations, if the programme was expanded and supported to do so.

37.    A dedicated resource could enhance the programme’s promotion and ‘mana’ and ensure a greater focus on operationalising and coordinating Tuia. Liaison across the council group in a way that understands council governance and the importance of partnering with iwi and Māori, providing relationship management with host organisations and mana whenua iwi, designing an annual programme of activity with mentors and mentees, ensuring training and development opportunities for mentors, and evaluating and reporting the programme and the process each year are roles that could be undertaken with additional resource.

38.    Currently support is primarily provided by southern Local Board Services teams (administration and some coordination), with specific assistance from Local Board Communications and Connected Communities (promoting the rangatahi mentoring opportunity to iwi, youth and community groups). There is considerable reliance on each elected member mentor to lead much of the activity for the local Tuia programme.

Professional development for mentors

39.    The evaluation recommends that a thorough training programme is provided to local board members who are mentoring rangatahi. It is important the mentor/mentee relationship is one of trust, and that both parties are working in safe environments. Professional development of mentors would help ensure an ongoing positive youth development experience, and that the mentors are well-equipped and supported to be effective in this responsible role.
