Context
2. The local board allocates grants to groups and organisations delivering projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders and contribute to the vision of being a world class city.
3. Auckland Council’s Community Grants Policy supports each local board to adopt a grants programme:
The local board grants programme sets out:
· local board priorities
· lower priorities for funding
· exclusions
· grant types, the number of grant rounds and when these will open and close.
· any additional accountability requirements.
4. The Papakura Local Board adopted the grants programme for 2022/2023 (refer Attachment C) and will operate two small grants and two local grants rounds for this financial year.
5. The community grants programmes have been extensively advertised through the council grants webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters, Facebook pages, council publications, and community networks.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
6. Due to the current COVID-19 crisis, staff have also assessed each application according to which alert level the proposed activity is able to proceed. Events and activities have been assessed according to this criterion.
7. The aim of the local board grants programme is to deliver projects and activities which align with the outcomes identified in the local board plan. All applications have been assessed utilising the Community Grants Policy and the local board grant programme criteria. The eligibility of each application is identified in the report recommendations.
Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
8. The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to address climate change by providing grants to individuals and groups with projects that support community climate change action. Community climate action involves reducing or responding to climate change by residents in a locally relevant way. Local board grants can contribute to expanding climate action by supporting projects that reduce carbon emissions and increase community resilience to climate impacts. Examples of projects include:
· local food production and food waste reduction
· decreasing use of single-occupancy transport options
· home energy efficiency and community renewable energy generation
· local tree planting and streamside revegetation
· education about sustainable lifestyle choices that reduce carbon footprints.

Seeking views on the proposed approach for Katoa, Ka Ora - Speed Management Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland 2024-2027
File No.: CP2023/03548
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. Katoa, Ka Ora is a speed management plan for the Auckland region. 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.
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura 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.
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 authrorities 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. The majority of 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 15 February 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 (Aproaches 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 micromobility by reducing the risk to vulnerable road users, making these modes more attractive.
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.

Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek feedback from local boards on the preferred option for distribution of the Local Crime Fund.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The Local Crime Fund is a one-off, $2 million central government allocation to Auckland Council for community safety / crime prevention initiatives.
3. Staff have developed a series of options for distribution of the funding, with input from key community safety stakeholders.
4. Feedback is being sought from all local boards on the preferred option for distribution of the funding by 26 April 2023.
5. The feedback will inform a report to the Regulatory and Safety Committee to approve a decision, scheduled to be presented on 30 May 2023.
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) whakarite / provide feedback, if any, on the preferred option for distribution of the Local Crime Fund.
Horopaki
Context
6. On 28 November 2022, the Prime Minister announced a multi-million dollar funding package to address retail crime and reoffending throughout New Zealand.
7. Of that, $2 million was granted to Auckland Council to support crime prevention and youth engagement approaches or intervention programmes, referred to by council as the ‘Local Crime Fund’.
8. The Local Crime Fund was set up to assist with crime prevention with a focus on youth interventions and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) measures such as patrols, street lighting, CCTV cameras, and planters, as well as community development. The CPTED guidelines have been provided in Attachment A (https://www.cpted.net/Primer-in-CPTED).
9. The Regulatory and Safety Committee, by its delegations, have the necessary authority to approve the distribution method of the funding on behalf of the Governing Body. A report outlining the options will be presented on 30 May 2023 for the committee to consider.
10. Local board views on the preferred option are being sought by the end of April 2023 on the decision being sought from the Regulatory and Safety Committee.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
11. The funding will activate new or strengthen existing community-led partnerships that focus on youth crime prevention and town centre / retail crime prevention through a CPTED lens. It is a one-off fund that cannot be used to fund business-as-usual council operations.
12. Staff have engaged community safety stakeholders formally and informally during the development of options to distribute the Local Crime Fund. This includes, but is not limited to, NZ Police, community patrols, Māori wardens, Business Associations, outreach services, Auckland Transport, Regulatory and Compliance and Youth Empowerment teams.
13. Feedback from partners was key to ensuring there was alignment with existing initiatives and availability of partners to deliver on programme options.
14. Staff have identified four potential options for distribution and spending of this fund for the consideration of the committee.
Option |
Mechanism |
Benefits |
1. Local board allocation – spend on local safety and youth initiatives |
Funding would be included in the 2023-2024 local board work programme and earmarked for safety programmes, youth activation and town centre / retail safety CPTED outcomes.
Formula for funding allocation to be agreed. |
· Existing structure in place for distribution · Enables local responses and solutions to localised crime and youth offending issues. · Flexibility in how the investment can be distributed across the CPTED / youth prevention areas. · Opportunity to engage residents and businesses in community-led initiatives. |
2. Regional Grants programme |
Distribution will be via regional grants where town centre / retailers would be invited to apply for funding for CPTED initiatives.
Regional or sub-regional youth organisations would be invited to apply for funding for intervention programmes. |
· Existing structures in place for distribution. · A contestable process may encourage innovative programmes and experienced youth organisations to apply. · Increases impact at subregional and regional level. · Higher level of investment for individual programmes may lead to greater impact and scalability. · Disbenefits include local and smaller groups missing out on funding and potential uneven distribution across region |
3. Combination option |
Part funding would be included in the 2023-2024 local board work programme as safety lines with youth activation and town centre / retail safety CPTED outcomes. Regional or sub-regional youth organisations would be invited to apply for funding for intervention programmes. |
· Existing structures in place for distribution. · Provides both a local and regional response. · Provides clearer differentiation between the two themes and processes. · Feedback from community stakeholders has identified this as the preferred option. |
4. Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) / Business Associations |
Funding would be directly administered to BIDs and non-BID business associations for CPTED interventions and targeted youth initiatives. |
· Existing contracts and relationships with BIDs and Business Associations are in place to support development of distribution. · Low administration and grants management would be required for administration and distribution of funds. · Accountability would be monitored via local board/BID and business meeting reporting processes. |
15. For options one and three that recommend distributing funding through the local board work programme, relevant data is being reviewed to develop options on how funding could be distributed across all 21 local boards equitably.
16. Staff intend to present a formula for distribution to the committee that is based on the locally driven initiatives funding (LDI) formula and considers relevant crime statistics, such as retail and youth crime, in order to ensure there is an equitable allocation to areas with greater need.
17. Options to inform a decision on the formula for distribution via local boards are being worked on and will be presented alongside the relevant options in the report to the Regulatory and Safety Committee.

Local boards are being invited through this report to share their views and preferences on the options available to the committee.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Addition to the 2022-2025 Papakura Local Board meeting schedule
File No.: CP2023/04154
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek approval for two additional meeting dates and one extraordinary meeting date to be added to the 2022-2025 Papakura Local Board meeting schedule in order to accommodate the Annual Budget 2023/2024 and Local Board Plan 2023 timeframes.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The Papakura Local Board adopted the 2022-2025 meeting schedule on 23 November 2022 - Resolution PPK/2022/207.
4. The local board is being asked to approve two additional meeting dates and one extraordinary meeting date to the Papakura Local Board meeting schedule so that the modified Annual Budget 2023/2024 and Local Board Plan 2023 timeframes can be met.
Recommendation/s
That the Papakura Local Board:
a) whakaae / approve the addition of two meeting dates and one extraordinary meeting date to the 2022-2025 Local Board meeting schedule to accommodate the Annual Budget 2023/2024 and Local Board Plan 2023 timeframes as follows:
i) Wednesday 10 May 2023 at 4.00pm, extraordinary meeting on Annual Budget 2023/2024
ii) Wednesday 21 June 2023 at 4.00pm, additional meeting
iii) Wednesday 13 September 2023 at 4.00pm, additional meeting
b) whakaae / agree the additional and extraordinary meetings be held at the Papakura Local Board Chambers, Level 1, 35 Coles Crescent, Papakura.
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 Papakura Local Board adopted its 2022-2025 business meeting schedule at its 23 November 2022 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 two of 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 for two of the meetings, staff recommend option one for these. Approving June 21 2023 and September 13 2023 as an addition to the meeting schedule allows more flexibility for the local board to consider a range of issues. This requires a decision of the local board.
14. Staff recommend that the 10 May 2023 be scheduled as an extraordinary meeting as there is not enough time to meet the statutory requirements. A formal local board decision is required for all additional meetings.
Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
15. This decision is procedural in nature and any climate impacts will be negligible. The decision is unlikely to result in any identifiable changes to greenhouse gas emissions. The effects of climate change will not impact the decision’s implementation.
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
16. There is no specific impact for the council group from this report.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
17. This report requests the local board’s decision to schedule additional meetings and consider whether to approve them as extraordinary meetings or additions to the meeting schedule.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
18. There is no specific impact for Māori arising from this report. Local boards work with Māori on projects and initiatives of shared interest.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
19. 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
20. 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.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
21. Implement the processes associated with preparing for business meetings.
