Seeking views on the proposed approach for Katoa, Ka Ora -  Speed Management Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland 2024-2027

File No.: CP2023/03240

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek formal views on the approach for developing Katoa Ka Ora, Auckland’s Speed Management Plan 2024-2027.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

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

3.       Setting safe speed limits that recognize the function, safety, design, and layout of roads is a fast and cost-effective way to reduce DSI. AT is conducting a phased review of speed limits and has completed three phases of changes to date.

4.       Katoa, Ka Ora is a speed management plan for the Auckland region. It is a plan to set safe and appropriate speed limits in order to reduce road deaths and serious injuries.

5.       AT workshopped Katoa, Ka Ora a Speed Management Plan for Auckland with local boards in February and March 2023. This report seeks formal views on the five development approaches for the speed management plan.

6.       Local boards provided formal views in May 2022 on speed limit changes. If local board views have changed, AT will make any amendments needed before a proposal is mapped.  We expect Katoa, Ka Ora to be publicly consulted in mid-2023.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a)      provide views on the proposed approaches for development of Katoa, Ka Ora a Speed Management Plan for Auckland per the form in Attachment A - Form for local boards to provide views on proposed Approaches One-Five.

 

Horopaki

Context

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

Alignment with Central Government Policy

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

9.       The Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2022 (the Rule) sets out requirements road controlling authorities must comply with when setting speed limits.

10.     The Rule requires road controlling authorities to use reasonable efforts to have at least 40 per cent of speed limit changes for roads outside schools completed by 30 June 2024. The remainder must be completed by 31 December 2027, and these changes must be built into speed management plans.

11.     The Rule groups schools into two classifications. Most Auckland schools are classified as Category One, these require speed limits of 30km/h (fixed or variable) in the area outside of the school.

Alignment with Auckland Council Policy

12.     Auckland Council’s Planning Committee requested AT to accelerate the road safety and speed management programmes and work with partners to make Auckland a Vision Zero region in 2018.

13.     Since receiving endorsement from Auckland Council and from the AT Board, AT has progressively reviewed roads across Auckland and reduced speeds on many roads.

14.     In the most recent phase of speed limit changes (Phase 3), the focus has been on town centres, roads near schools and rural marae. Local boards received localised reports on public feedback in early May 2022 and provided feedback at their May business meeting. This feedback was used in preparing final recommendations that went to the AT Board.

15.     Speed limit changes approved by the AT Board have been implemented during December 2022- March 2023.

Auckland Transport’s role

16.     AT manages more than 7,300 kilometres of roads for Auckland Council. 

17.     This role includes setting speed limits and since ‘Vision Zero’ was adopted, AT has been progressively reviewing and amending speed limits to align with the strategy. Changes have been made only after engaging with both the community and their representative local board.

18.     Road deaths have reduced 30 per cent where speed limits have changed in the 24 months following the June 2020 Auckland speed limit reductions. In comparison, over this same period, the rest of the network has seen a 9 per cent increase in road deaths.

19.     The Safe Speeds Programme focuses on speed limit review. Physical speed management measures like speed tables or raised crossings require careful consideration and planning because of costs and funding constraints. Following speed limit changes, roads are monitored and evaluated to help prioritise engineering investment decisions.

20.     30km/h is the internationally accepted speed to greatly reduce the chances of people walking or cycling from being killed or seriously injured if they are struck by a vehicle.

21.     Speed limit changes made in the first three phases of the Safe Speeds Programme (between June 2020 and March 2023) were completed under the AT Speed Limits Bylaw 2019 and the Speed Limits Amendment Bylaw 2022.

22.     The Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2022 is the current legislation, and it requires all road controlling authorities to have a speed management plan. The AT plan is Katoa, Ka Ora a Speed Management Plan for Auckland, with development of the plan currently in a discussion phase with local boards.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

23.     Following AT’s Katoa, Ka Ora a Speed Management Plan presentation on 8 March 2023, AT is seeking formal views from the local board on proposed mapping approaches for speed management.

24.     The presentation slide pack is included with this report as Attachment B.

25.     The proposed approaches will be used along with the eight working principles when public consultation takes place on Katoa, Ka Ora, Speed Management Plan for Auckland, later in 2023.

26.     The draft working principles are provided in Table One below.

Table One – Draft working principles

Draft working principles used to guide the development of

Katoa, Ka Ora Speed Management Plan 

1.   Tiakitanga. The top priority of speed management is to keep people safe and alive on Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland’s roads.​ 

2.   Easy to understand. Speed limits are a critical part of an integrated safe road system; we will ensure they are easy to understand for all.​ 

3.   Safe children. Safe speeds around schools will ensure the safety of children (and all ages and people).​ 

4.   Safe speed limits. Speed limits align with government guidance. We consider complex factors ranging from the function of our roads and streets* to how many people travel outside of vehicles.​ 

5.   Safe infrastructure. Investment in engineering and safety improvements will be prioritised on roads that have high safety needs and provide active mode benefits.​ 

6.   Partnership. We work with our Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi and other partners in governance, design, delivery, education, communication, enforcement, and monitoring. ​ 

7.   Healthy communities. Safe speeds support more walking and cycling; this improves health and is better for the environment.​ 

8.   Measure results. We constantly monitor the roads to evaluate any changes required to make our roads and streets safe. ​ 

*AT’s Future Connect and Roads and Streets Framework tools to be used.​ 

Proposed mapping approaches

27.     There are two groups of proposed approaches.

·    Consistent Approach (Approaches One and Two) – these require consistency across all local boards to have a regional approach for Aucklanders.

·    Tailored Approach (Approaches Three, Four and Five) – these approaches allow for a tailored approach for each local board. 

28.     The proposed approaches are detailed more in Table Two below.


 

Table Two: Proposed Approaches for developing Katoa, Ka Ora, Speed Management Plan

Consistent approaches

Approach One

An easy-to-understand approach

Includes:

·    treating blocks of roads/ local road areas to ensure consistent speed limits across the same types of roads e.g., similar urban residential roads don’t have limits of 30, 40 and 50 km/h in adjacent streets

·    matching the speed limit to the use and design of the road, i.e. slower speeds for areas that have higher amounts of people walking and cycling such as residential roads, near schools and/or town centres, and for roads that are designed for lower speeds

·    filling in ‘gaps’ so there are not small pockets of untreated roads which is inconsistent for drivers

·    treating roads that could be rat runs, e.g., drivers take short cuts through local residential streets or traffic is pushed from one road to another.

Approach Two

A high benefit cost ratio approach, proposing methods that provide higher return on investment.

Includes:

·    permanent changes for local roads

·    variable changes at school gates for arterial roads (high movement roads) and high-speed rural roads

·    changes for high-risk roads, or town centres on high-risk roads where support has been identified from previous engagement

·    complementing planned infrastructure or developments, e.g. new housing areas.

Tailored approaches

Approach Three

An approach that is responsive to requests from partners and communities for specific speed limit reductions. These include requests from mana whenua, local boards, schools and community groups.

Approach Four

An approach that covers a high percentage of roads in the local board area for this phase of the programme.

Approach Five

An approach that implements approved changes early in the local board area for this phase of the programme.

29.     Auckland Transport is seeking local board views on each approach to understand benefit to the community, prioritisation of community requests, preferred percentage of cover and timing of implementation.

30.     Attachment A contains a form for local boards to provide their views on the proposed approaches.


 

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

31.     The primary climate change benefit of safe and appropriate speed limits is that they support and encourage walking, cycling and micro mobility by reducing the risk to vulnerable road users, making these modes more attractive.

32.     A key action required in the Auckland Council Transport Emissions Reduction Plan is to ‘rapidly deliver safe speeds across urban Auckland’ in order to create more pleasant urban environments, revitalise local centres and make it safer for children to travel independently.

33.     A recent road safety perceptions study was completed in town centres where speed limits were reduced and safety improvements introduced. Overall, 19 per cent of people surveyed say they participate in at least one active mode activity (e.g., walking or cycling) more often since the projects have been completed. This is a direct contribution towards encouraging people to walk or cycle instead of using cars that produce carbon emissions.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

34.     The Safe Speeds Programme has been endorsed by the Auckland Council Planning Committee. We have requested to workshop Katoa, Ka Ora a Speed Management Plan for Auckland with the Transport and Infrastructure Committee.

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

Local impacts and local board views

35.     AT workshopped with all local boards during February/March 2023 to discuss the proposed changes kanohi ki te kanohi (face-to-face).

36.     Summaries of community, school and mana whenua requests were provided to local boards in February/March 2023 to support their consideration of this topic.

37.     Auckland Transport is seeking formal views from local boards through this report. The presentation slide pack from the workshops is included as Attachment B.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

38.     Māori are overrepresented in DSI statistics making up 12 per cent of Auckland’s population and 16 per cent of road deaths and serious injuries.

39.     Engagement with iwi at the northern, central and southern transport kaitiaki hui has taken place regarding the wider programme since 2021. Detailed engagement about speed around rural marae has recently been completed as part of Phase Three and is currently being implemented. 

40.     Mana whenua are, in general, supportive of the Safe Speeds Programme and the positive safety, community and environmental outcomes arising through safe and appropriate speed limits.

41.     Ongoing engagement regarding further requests are being reviewed and considered for inclusion in the full Katoa, Ka Ora Speed Management Plan. These requests have been shared with local boards at the recent workshops in February/ March 2023.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

42.     Although there are no specific financial implications arising from local boards providing views on Katoa, Ka Ora Speed Management Plan, the introduction of safe speed limits has considerable social cost implications. 

43.     Reducing the harm caused by road crashes impacts on the community by reducing hospital costs, insurance costs and Accident Compensation Corporation costs, all of which are of direct financial benefit to the communities that the local board represents.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

44.     Public understanding regarding the ‘why’ for safe speeds needs continued communication. A comprehensive communication and marketing plan is being developed to share with Aucklanders that ‘safe speeds save lives.

45.     Possible funding constraints may require the scale of the plan or delivery to be slowed or delayed until future phases of the Safe Speeds Programme.  Clear updates will be given should there be changes to funding throughout the duration of the programme.

46.     Public views expressed during consultation may differ to the views expressed by the local board in their resolution. As AT have done in previous consultations we will come back to the local board and provide interim reports, before a further resolution is sought.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

47.     The Safe Speeds Programme Team will review and consider all feedback provided by local boards and will use this along with feedback from the Transport and Infrastructure Committee, Mana Whenua Treaty Partners, and our obligations as a road controlling authority to help develop Katoa, Ka Ora Speed Management Plan for Auckland.

48.     A report will be provided to local boards to show how feedback has been used to help shape the final plan that goes out for public consultation.

49.     Public consultation is planned for mid-2023, but dates are subject to change. Dates will be confirmed after the Regional Transport Committee approval of the draft plan.

Watercare - Wastewater Network Strategy

File No.: CP2023/03298

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       The purpose of this report is to seek formal feedback from the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board on Watercare’s Wastewater Network Strategy (WWNS).

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Watercare is preparing the 2023 Wastewater Network Strategy (‘the strategy’) as part of it’s 35-year Network Discharge Consent with Auckland Council.

3.       The strategy is a key implementation tool to show how Watercare plans to reduce overflows and improve the public wastewater network.

4.       This is a strategy that is reviewed every six years and outlines reports on network condition, performance, and proposed improvement works.

5.       Consent conditions require Watercare to consult with a variety of entities including Local Boards

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a)      provide its feedback on Watercare’s Wastewater Network Strategy.

 

Horopaki

Context

6.       The wastewater network is made up of 7,999 kilometres of pipes and 518 pump stations that move sewage from homes, businesses, and industrial sites to treatment plants. Approximately 410 million litres of wastewater are treated daily in Auckland’s treatment plants.

7.       Watercare has five consents that when combined cover Auckland's network from Wellsford and Helensville in the north down to Waiuku, Kingseat, and Beachlands in the south.

8.       These consents focus on discharges from the network which include both treated water from Watercare’s plants and unintended untreated wastewater overflows.

9.       A condition of these consents is a Wastewater Network Strategy that covers a 35-year period and is reviewed every six years. The strategy is the key implementation tool used to report on current network condition and performance, and to outline the schedule of proposed works to improve the network.

10.     The strategy focuses on unintended overflows from the network. A wastewater overflow occurs when wastewater spills out from gully traps, manholes, Engineered Overflow Points (EOPs) or pump stations and flows into public or private property, waterways, and the sea. Overflows occur primarily because of blockages in the system, lack of storage space, cracks and leaks in pipes, power outage, or broken parts. They are categorised into three types;


 

a)      Type 1 from pump stations

b)      Type 2 from EOPs

c)      Type 3 uncontrolled overflows.

11.     EOPs are structures in the network designed to overflow if something goes wrong in another part of the network such as a blockage. They control where the overflow takes place to ensure that it does not occur in someone’s home, business or a school where there is a higher public health risk.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

12.     Please see Attachment A for a more detailed report that has a full description of the wastewater network in the local board area and outlines network performance. The below is a high-level summary of this report.

Network description summary

13.     The wastewater network in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board area is substantial and sits within the Māngere catchment, and to a lesser extent Puhinui and Upper Tāmaki catchment areas.

Network performance summary

14.     The table below outlines the causes of pump stations (Type 1) overflows by cause and year.

15.     There are six Type 2 EOPs in the Māngere catchment area. Within the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board area no Type 2 EOP’s are monitored, therefore no overflow data is available.

16.     Type 3 overflows are uncontrolled, i.e. not from engineered overflow points. These are split into dry weather and wet weather overflows. Dry weather overflows are a combination of domestic, commercial, industrial loads and groundwater infiltration. Wet weather overflows include the above but also rainfall that enters the wastewater network. The tables below outline the overflow rates from dry weather and wet weather overflows:

19.      Community education occurs via a number of channels including the seasonal ‘Tapped In’ newsletter, ‘Local Matters’ newsletters, typically prepared in response to local overflow issues including blockages from fats oils and grease. Comprehensive information on how to care for your drains and to avoid overflows is also available on the Watercare website or the Water for Life website.

Predicted future performance of the network:

20.     With the forecast proposed and planned works on the wastewater network over the next six years and based on 2030 population projections, Watercare has developed the 2023 modelling to demonstrate the expected improvement of the network and the expected reduction of overflows in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board area.

21.     The following map titled Figure 1 provides the base modelling from 2017 which indicates the current network performance. Figure 2 includes proposed and committed works and the indicative reduction of overflows.

WWNS Community feedback and insights

22.     Watercare has received over 150 pieces of feedback through online surveys and manual feedback forms from people all across Auckland. We are currently working through the feedback and will identify key insights with the findings and outcomes from the feedback that will be available on 31 March 2023. While we work through the feedback, below are some of the insights we have discovered to date:

a)   there is a general support for the strategy but belief that it does not go far enough. There is strong feedback that any overflows are unacceptable

b)   a need for general education about wastewater and disposing of items.

c)   wastewater infrastructure needs investment to cope with climate change and minimise health risk and remove pollution on the awa/moana.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

23.     The global impacts of the changing climate will bring significant direct and indirect changes and challenges. For Watercare these include extreme weather events, prolonged dry periods, rising seas and increased coastal flooding.

24.     Watercare’s climate change strategy sets out our future direction as we embark on a journey to operate a low carbon organisation that is resilient to climate impacts.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

25.     Auckland Council Healthy Waters has contributed to the strategy.

26.     Watercare will be submitting this strategy to Auckland Council as part of a consents process. Auckland Council will review, consult within the group and request changes accordingly.

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

Local impacts and local board views

27.     All local boards have been given the opportunity to attend a briefing on the strategy.

28.     Feedback is being sought from local boards that have a significant number of wastewater overflows or who have expressed an interest in giving their views on the strategy.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

29.     The Network Discharge Consent requires the following consultative process to be carried out with iwi:

Prior to and during the preparation and review of the Wastewater Network Strategy (including the Wastewater Improvement Works Programme), the consent holder shall:

a. Inform iwi authorities with mana whenua interests within Auckland of the intention to prepare a Wastewater Network Strategy three (3) months prior to commencing the preparation or review, and the timetable and opportunities for these authorities to engage in the preparation of the Wastewater Network Strategy.

b. Consult with iwi authorities with mana whenua interests within Auckland over the draft Wastewater Network Strategy, including receiving environment classifications cultural values and all discharges to land and water.

c. Report back to iwi authorities with mana whenua interests within Auckland, and Auckland Council, on the outcomes and final form of the Wastewater Network Strategy.

30.     Watercare’s engagement approach with mana whenua is guided by the following objectives (as outlined in Watercare’s Māori Outcomes Plan): 

a)      We recognise and acknowledge Māori as Treaty Partners

b)      We have a strong understanding of Māori relationships

c)      We have an integrated approach to engaging with Māori

d)      Roles and responsibilities for engaging with Māori are clear.

31.     There are two ‘levels’ of engagement with mana whenua, firstly through the Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum and secondly through engagement with all individual 19 iwi/mana whenua authorities in the Auckland region. 

32.     The Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Forum is an independent forum comprising representatives of Mana Whenua entities within Tāmaki and Watercare representatives.

Financial implications

33.     Watercare is a council-controlled organisation (CCO) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Auckland Council. Unlike other CCO’s, Watercare is a limited liability company registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is 100% funded from revenue, not from rates. Watercare is not funded directly from Auckland Council.

34.     Watercare has carefully considered the financial implications as a result of the Wastewater Network Strategy and highlighted these for the local board where they impact on our decision making. There is however no direct financial implications or decision making for the local board as a result of this report.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

35.     The costings outlined above for the programmed works are indicative and may subject to changes as the works are developed.

36.     Watercare’s programme is evidence led and subject to change based on factors like the number of overflows and population growth. If these factors change then the programme will change. We will keep the local board informed about these changes in our regular reporting and in our Asset Management Plan.

37.     For inflow and infiltration works on private property once issues have been identified Watercare relies on homeowners to rectify the issues.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

38.     Feedback from the local board will be considered prior to submitting the Strategy to Auckland Council.

39.     The feedback will be included in the next update of the Wastewater Network Strategy.

Classification of a reserve at 15W Harvard Place, Māngere as a recreation reserve

File No.: CP2023/02680

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To classify a reserve situated at 15W Harvard Place, Māngere as recreation reserve pursuant to section 16(1) of the Reserves Act 1977.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The land at 15W Harvard Place, Māngere is made up of one parcel of land legally described as Lot 210 Deposited Plan 59593 (the Reserve).

3.       The Reserve is currently held as an unclassified recreation reserve subject to the provisions of the Reserves Act 1977.

4.       The Reserves Act provides that all unclassified reserves vested in local authority must be classified according to their principal or primary purpose. Auckland Council is therefore statutorily obliged to classify all unclassified reserves which it holds. This is undertaken under Section 16 of the Reserves Act 1977 and if not undertaken would mean that Auckland Council is not meeting its statutory obligations.

5.       Local boards hold the delegated authority under Section 16 of the Reserves Act 1977 to classify council held reserves, subject to all statutory processes having been satisfied. 

6.       Mana whenua representatives with interests in the south have been advised of the proposed classification and have been invited to submit their feedback by 27 March 2023.

7.       The proposed classification was not publicly notified because it is the same as the purpose for which the reserve has been held.

8.       This report recommends that the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board resolves to classify the reserve at 15W Harvard Place as recreation reserve.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a)      resolves to classify, pursuant to Section 16(1) of the Reserves Act 1977, the reserve at 15W Harvard Place, Māngere, legally described as Lot 210 DP 59593 Record of Title NA46C/30 as a recreation reserve, subject to completion of iwi engagement with no objection.

 

Horopaki

Context

9.       Classification is a mandatory process under Section 16 of the Reserves Act 1977 which involves determining the principal or primary purpose of a reserve (e.g. recreation reserve, local purpose reserve, historic reserve, etc). When determining the purpose of the reserve the present values of the reserve as well as the future “potential” values and the possible future uses and activities on the reserve are considered. 

10.     Auckland Council is required by law to classify all unclassified reserves which it holds. Auckland Council is not meeting its statutory obligations if classification is incomplete. 

11.     The land at 15W Harvard Place (the reserve) is currently held as an unclassified recreation reserve.

12.     To comply with the statutory requirement to classify reserves according to their principal or primary purpose, the reserve must be classified for its principal or primary purpose. 

13.     Local boards hold delegated authority under Sections 16(1) and 16(2A) of the Act to approve classifications of council owned reserves, subject to all statutory processes having been satisfied.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Reserve

14.     The reserve outlined blue below is located at 15W Harvard Place, Māngere. It is legally described as Lot 210 DP 59593 Record of Title NA46C/30. It covers a total area of 61m². The reserve is currently held by Auckland Council as an unclassified recreation reserve, subject to the provisions of the Reserves Act 1977.

A picture containing map

Description automatically generated

15.     Lot 210 DP 59593 was originally part of a bigger piece of land that was transferred from a private owner to Her Majesty the Queen for state housing purposes under the Housing Act 1955. In 1967 the Crown undertook subdivision of the land and subsequently Lot 210 was set apart as recreation reserve pursuant to the Reserves and Domains Act 1953 and vested in trust in Auckland Council (then Mayor, Councillors and Citizens of the City of Manukau) for recreation purposes.

16.     The reserve is zoned as Open Space – Sport and Active Recreation Zone under the Auckland Unitary Plan (operative in part)

17.     There are no natural resources, heritage layers or special character areas indicated on GEOmap data available on Auckland Council’s website.

Reserves Act 1977

18.     The Reserves Act came into force on 1 April 1978 and requires all reserves to be classified for their principal or primary purposes.  

19.     The Reserves Act 1977 requires the administering bodies to consider necessary or desirable activities on the reserve and to classify the reserve for such specified purpose.

20.     The purpose of recreation reserves as set out in section 17 of the Reserves Act 1977 is to provide for recreation with the emphasis on the retention of open spaces. Staff consider this classification is appropriate as it lines up with the purpose for which the reserve was originally created and its current use. 

Proposed classification – recreation reserve 

21.     Staff consider that classification of the reserve as a recreation reserve is most appropriate because: 

i)             the reserve was vested in Auckland Council for the purposes of recreation reserve

ii)            this recommendation aligns with current use of the reserve. 

 

Consultation

22.     Public notification of the council’s intention to classify the reserve is not required as the proposed classification is the same as the purposes for which the reserve was vested in Auckland Council and is currently held and administered.

23.     Engagement with iwi is necessary in terms of Section 4 of the Conservation Act 1987.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

24.     There will be no climate impact as the classification of the reserve is formalisation of the statutory requirement under the Reserves Act 1977.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

25.     The proposed classification has no identified impact on other parts of the council group. The views of council-controlled organisations were not required for the preparation of advice in this report

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

Local impacts and local board views

26.     The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board holds the delegated authority under Section 16(1) of the Reserves Act 1977 to approve classification of the reserve subject to completion of all statutory processes.

27.     The views and preferences of the local board in relation to the proposal are sought via this report.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

28.     There is no express requirement to consult mana whenua under the Reserves Act. However, section 4 of the Conservation Act 1987 states that the Act should be interpreted and administered so as to give effect to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.

 

29.     The proposal to classify the reserve was presented to the mana whenua groups identified as having an interest in the land via email, dated 27 February 2023.   

 

30.     The deadline for mana whenua feedback on the proposed classification will close on 27 March 2023. If there are any objection to the proposal staff will advise the local board at next business meeting.


 

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

31.     The classification process includes:

·        engagement with iwi

·        publishing notice of the classification resolution in the New Zealand Gazette.

32.     Parks & Community Facilities will bear the costs of iwi engagement and Gazette publication.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

33.     It is a statutory requirement that the reserve is classified.

34.     Should the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board choose not to resolve to classify the reserve, this decision would mean that Auckland Council is in breach of its statutory obligations under the Reserves Act.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

35.     If approved, staff will publish a notice in the New Zealand Gazette of the classification.

File No.: CP2023/03121

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board with the council-controlled organisation (CCO) forward work programme and engagement approach in its area for Quarter Four (April-June 2023).

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The 2022/2023 CCO Local Board Joint Engagement Plans were adopted in June 2022. These plans record CCO responsibilities and local board commitments with Auckland Transport, Tātaki Auckland Unlimited, Eke Panuku Development Auckland and Watercare.

3.       Local boards and CCOs are expected to review the joint engagement plans (CCO responsibilities and local board commitments) in June 2023.

4.       CCOs provide local boards with the CCO work programme in their area. Each work programme item lists the engagement approach with the local board, activity status, updates and milestones anticipated for the next quarter.

5.       Providing local boards with the CCO work programme addresses the 2020 CCO Review’s recommendation to coordinate CCO actions better at the local level.

6.       As per the 2022/2023 CCO Local Board Joint Engagement Plans:

·    CCOs, when creating their work programme, consider the priorities identified in the local board plan and any relevant strategies or policies specific to the local board area

·    Local boards advise CCOs of issues or projects of significance, communicate the interests and preferences of their communities and allow for flexibility in terms of engagement, recognising differing levels of interest.

7.       CCOs and local boards workshop the CCO work programme and engagement approach regularly to identify and maximise opportunities for good community outcomes within the local board area. 

8.       This report provides a formal update of the CCO forward work programme, engagement approach and anticipated milestones for Quarter Four (April-June 2023). This report also includes the status on CCO work programme items since the last report in September 2022.

9.       The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board will receive the next CCO work programme and engagement approach report in June 2023 which will include an update on projects from Quarter Four (March-June 2023) and expected milestones for work in Quarter One (July-September 2023).

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a)      receive the council-controlled organisations forward work programme and engagement approach for Quarter Four (April-June 2023).

Horopaki

Context

10.     The 2020 Review of Auckland Council’s council-controlled organisations recommended that CCOs and local boards adopt an engagement plan to:

·    help cement CCO and local board relations

·    agree on a common understanding of accountability between CCOs and local boards

·    coordinate CCO actions better at the local level.

11.     These plans record the commitment between Auckland Transport, Tātaki Auckland Unlimited, Eke Panuku Development Auckland, Watercare and the local boards to work together.

12.     Each local board adopted their 2022/2023 CCO Local Board Joint Engagement Plans in June 2022. These plans include CCO responsibilities and local board commitments.

13.     This report does not update the CCO responsibilities and local board commitments. Local boards are expected to revise these in their next engagement plans in June 2023.

What are the CCO work programme items?

14.     CCOs provide local boards with a work programme that lists the different CCO projects happening in the local board area.

15.     The work programme is not a full list of projects in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board area. It includes work programme items for engagement purposes. Providing local boards with the CCO work programme addresses the 2020 CCO Review’s recommendation to coordinate CCO actions better at the local level.

16.     As per the joint engagement plans:

·    CCOs, when creating their work programme, consider the priorities identified in the local board plan and any relevant strategies or policies specific to the local board area

·    Local boards advise CCOs of issues or projects of significance, to communicate the interests and preferences of their communities and to allow for flexibility in terms of engagement, recognising differing levels of interest.

17.     Each work programme item records an engagement approach with the local board, activity status, updates and milestones anticipated for the next quarter.

18.     The CCO work programme is intended to be reported through a local board business meeting quarterly for clarity and transparency. These updates may include the following types of changes:

·        new work programme items and proposed engagement level

·        changes to the engagement approach with the local board

·        updates to status or anticipated milestones during the next quarter.

19.     The work programme and engagement approach are workshopped regularly between CCOs and local boards to identify and maximise opportunities for good community outcomes within the local board area.

20.     The engagement approach is based on the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) standards which are provided in Table 1 below.

41.     Local boards and CCOs provide opportunities for Māori to contribute to their decision-making processes. These opportunities will be worked on a project or programme basis.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

42.     This report does not have financial impacts on local boards.

43.     Any financial implications or opportunities will be provided to local boards on a project or programme basis.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

44.     Due to local elections, local board induction, and summer closedown, some local boards may not have workshopped with CCOs on the work programme and engagement approach.

45.     Not having a workshop risks the local board’s ability to fulfil their commitment to advise CCOs of issues or projects of significance and to communicate the interests and preferences of their communities. 

46.     This report addresses this risk by providing the current CCO work programme and engagement approach to provide clarity and transparency.

47.     If local boards prefer a more formal commitment for workshops with their CCOs, this arrangement can be addressed through revision of the next CCO Local Board Joint Engagement Plans (CCO responsibilities and local board commitments) in June 2023.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

48.     The local board will receive the next CCO forward work programme report in June 2023 which will include an update on projects from Quarter Four (March-June 2023) and expected milestones for work in Quarter One (July-September 2023).

49.     CCOs and local boards will have an opportunity to workshop the CCO forward work programme through April and May before the next report in June 2023.

50.     CCOs and local boards are expected to revise their next joint engagement plans (CCO responsibilities and local board commitments) in June 2023.

Horopaki

Context

5.       The Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA) have requirements regarding local board meeting schedules.

6.       In summary, adopting a meeting schedule helps meet the requirements of:

·    clause 19, Schedule 7 of the LGA on general provisions for meetings, which requires the chief executive to give notice in writing to each local board member of the time and place of meetings.  Such notification may be provided by the adoption of a schedule of business meetings.

·    sections 46, 46(A) and 47 in Part 7 of the LGOIMA, which requires that meetings are publicly notified, agendas and reports are available at least two working days before a meeting and that local board meetings are open to the public.

7.       The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board adopted its 2022-2025 business meeting schedule at its Wednesday 7 December business meeting.

8.       The timeframes for local board decision-making in relation to the local board agreement which is part of the Annual Budget 2023/2024 and Local Board Plan 2023 were unavailable when the meeting schedule was originally adopted.

9.       The board is being asked to make decisions in early-May, mid-June, early September and late October/early November 2023 to feed into the Annual Budget 2023/2024 and Local Board Plan 2023 processes. These timeframes are outside the board’s normal meeting cycle. 

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

10.     The local board has two choices:

i)       Add the meetings as additions to the meeting schedule.

or

ii)       Add the meetings as extraordinary meetings.

11.     For option one, statutory requirements allow enough time for these meetings to be scheduled as additions to the meeting schedule and other topics may be considered as per any other ordinary meeting. However, there is a risk that if the Annual Budget 2023/2024 timeframes change again or the information is not ready for the meeting, there would need to be an additional extraordinary meeting scheduled.

12.     For option two, only the specific topic Annual Budget 2023/2024 may be considered for which the meeting is being held. There is a risk that no other policies or plans with similar timeframes or running in relation to the Annual Budget 2023/2024 process could be considered at this meeting.

13.     Since there is enough time to meet statutory requirements, staff recommend option one, approving this meeting as an addition to the meeting schedule, as it allows more flexibility for the local board to consider a range of issues. This requires a decision of the local board.

Financial implications

18.     There are no financial implications in relation to this report apart from the standard costs associated with servicing a business meeting.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

19.     If the local board decides not to add this business meeting to their schedule this would result in the input of this local board not being able to be presented to the Governing Body for their consideration and inclusion in the Budget, the local board agreement not being adopted in time for inclusion in the Annual Budget and delays in adoption of the Local Board Plan.

Next steps

20.     Implement the processes associated with preparing for business meetings.
