Arts Partner Interim Service and Funding Approach for 2023/2024
File No.: CP2023/04723
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To approve an interim service and funding approach for an arts partner from 1 July 2023.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The Puketāpapa Local Board Local Board partners with arts organisations to manage venues through Asset-Based Services (ABS) funding. Some of its funding agreements expire on 30 June 2023.
3. Due to current Auckland Council budget constraints, the nature of these arrangements going forward are ambiguous while the local board work programme 2023/2024 is being developed. Therefore, key concerns for partners are:
· council’s expectation of service delivery from 1 July 2023
· levels of activity they will deliver
· funding they will receive from 1 July 2023
· their responsibilities as employers, especially if funding levels (and consequently staffing levels) change.
4. Connected Communities is establishing a refreshed approach to procure community venue partners to ensure the council partners with groups who can drive change and best deliver to the council’s strategies. This programme is being developed and will be ready for local board decision making in 2024.
5. The recommended approach for community partners is to clarify services should continue until at least 30 June 2024 when a procurement process can take place, through Community Centre Management Agreements with a 12-month term for 2023/2024.
6. The recommended approach for arts partners is to provide clarity that services should continue from 1 July 2023 to at least 30 September 2023 by providing an interim payment covering the first quarter of 2023/2024.
Recommendation/s
That the Puketāpapa Local Board:
a) approve interim payments covering the first quarter of 2023/2024 be made to the following arts partner:
i. $105,860 to Arts House Trust - Pah Homestead
Horopaki
Context
7. Arts partners are funded through annual funding agreements.
8. Auckland Council is facing major financial challenges and needs to overcome a budget shortfall of $295 million for the 2023/2024 financial year. To respond to this, the Governing Body approved a proposal to reduce local board operating funding by $16 million.
9. While the annual local board work programme for 2023/2024 is being developed, there is uncertainty amongst partners and the community over whether funding and services will continue from 1 July 2023.
10. A reduction or discontinuation of funding would have a significant impact on current services, and partners would require time to communicate any change with their customers and community.
11. Partners are also employers and their ability to pay wages could be impacted if funding is changed from 1 July 2023. To follow good practice, partner organisations will require time and funding to follow appropriate employment processes, if required.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
Interim service delivery for arts partners
12. Options have been developed for an interim service approach for arts partners to provide clarity to partners and the community about expected service levels from 1 July 2023.
Table One: Options for an interim service approach to arts partners in the Puketāpapa Local Board
Options |
Option 1: Status quo |
Option 2: Provide arts partners with pro-rata funding for first quarter of 2023/2024 Recommended |
Detail |
Take no action and defer funding decision until the local board approves its work programme for 2023/2024 in July 2023 |
Provide a proportionate interim payment (12 weeks of the annual amount) for arts partners, covering the first quarter of 2023/2024
|
Funding |
No interim funding would be required |
Funding required to cover the first quarter of 2023/2024 for one arts partner Interim amounts would be based on approved 2022/2023 budgets |
Implications |
· This does not provide partners with the certainty they can attend to employment procedures in a timely way, if required · This does not provide partners and the public clarity and certainty that the service will continue from 1 July 2023 |
· This will ensure continued service can be provided to the community and can bridge the gap between a change in service (if there is change in the annual plan) · This provides partners adequate time to respond to change in funding levels. |
13. The recommended approach enables arts partners to continue delivering the agreed services from 1 July 2023 to 30 September 2023, and will ensure continuity of service for the community. This will also allow time for arts partners affected by a reduction or discontinuation of funding (if any) to appropriately undertake any operational and governance procedures required.
14. A proportionate interim payment (12 weeks of the annual amount) to all arts partners would allow partners time to respond to any funding changes after the local board work programme for 2023/2024 is approved in July 2023.
15. Following approval of the local board work programme in July 2023, staff will adjust funding agreements for partners to reflect the funding decisions for the remaining three quarters of 2023/2024.
16. Below is a table outlining the arts partners who would receive an interim payment for the first quarter of 2023/2024:

Climate impact statement
17. Local community services and venues create a stronger sense of place and foster localism and place-based approaches. This has a positive impact on our resilience to climate change.
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
18. Connected Communities manages the relationships and contracts with arts and community partners. Subject to the outcome of this decision, staff will work with Parks & Community Facilities to manage implications for council owned assets.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
19. Arts partners support the delivery the Puketāpapa Local Board plan, in particular:
· Outcome 1: inclusive communities that are healthy, connected and thriving.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
20. Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its statutory obligations and relationship commitments to Māori. The council recognises these responsibilities are distinct from the Crown’s Treaty obligations and fall within a local government Tāmaki Makaurau context.
21. These commitments are articulated in the council’s key strategic planning documents the Auckland Plan 2050, the 10-year Budget Plan 2021-2031 (Long-term Plan), the Auckland Unitary Plan, individual local board plans and in Whiria Te Muka Tangata, the council’s Māori Responsiveness Framework.
22. Partner-led arts and community services enable locally responsive activities, promoting participation, inclusion, and connection for all Aucklanders, including Māori.
23. A Community Centre Management Agreement includes key performance indicators (KPIs), which require community partners to engage with Māori, and where appropriate support the delivery of programmes that local iwi may wish to run in the facility.
24. Toi Whītiki, Auckland’s Arts and Culture Strategic Action Plan requires arts partners to support and align delivery to Goal 5: Auckland celebrates a unique cultural identity, and the objective to celebrate Māori and their culture as a point of difference.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
25. The recommended options require a total commitment of $105,860 from the Puketāpapa Local Board’s ABS Opex budget in advance of the approval of the 2023/2024 local board work programme.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
Risk |
Mitigation |
A decision could preempt significant budgetary decisions |
This is an interim approach and leaves room for decisions pending local board work programme approval to be actioned from 1 October 2023 for arts partners. |
The recommended approach may not provide sufficient certainty for partners |
Staff will maintain regular communication with partners, providing updates on the annual plan process and outcomes so that they will have at least three months (i.e. the first quarter of 2023/2024) to prepare for any changes. |
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
26. If the local board agrees with the staff recommendation, a funding agreement will be signed, and funding will be administered.

Approval for four public road names at 995 Mount Eden Road, Three Kings, Auckland
File No.: CP2023/05540
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek approval from the Puketāpapa Local Board to name four new public roads created by way of a subdivision development at 995 Mount Eden Road, Three Kings.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines, together with the Puketāpapa Local Board Road Naming Guidelines (the Guidelines) set out the requirements and criteria of the council for proposed road names. The guidelines state that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider /developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the Local Board’s approval.
3. In particular, the proposed road name options have been assessed against the Puketāpapa Local Board Road Naming Guidelines, that requires particular emphasis on those aspects of the Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines pertaining to linkages with the local environment, engagement with the local community and mana whenua and encouraging the use of Te Reo Māori names.
4. The developer and applicant, Fletcher Residential Ltd has proposed the names presented below for consideration by the Local Board.
5. The proposed road name options have also been assessed against the Australian & New Zealand Standard, Rural and Urban Addressing, AS NZS 4819:2011 and the Guidelines for Addressing in-fill Developments 2019 – LINZ OP G 01245 (the Standards). The technical matters required by those documents are considered to have been met and the proposed names are not duplicated elsewhere in the region or in close proximity. Mana Whenua have been consulted in the manner required by the Guidelines.
6. The proposed names for the new public roads at 995 Mount Eden Road are:
Road 1 in Red / Location A
· Koheraunui Rise (Applicant Preferred)
· Big King Avenue (Alternative 1)
· Te Toka a Whenua Avenue (Alternative 2)
Road 2 in Blue / Location B
· Te Onekiri Road (Applicant Preferred)
· Big King Avenue (Alternative 1)
· Te Toka a Whenua Avenue (Alternative 2)
Road 3 in Pink / Location C
· Te Tātua o Pere Road (Applicant Preferred)
· Big King Avenue (Alternative 1)
· Te Toka a Whenua Avenue (Alternative 2)
Road 4 in Orange / Location D
· Riukiuta Avenue (Applicant Preferred)
· Big King Avenue (Alternative 1)
· Te Toka a Whenua Avenue (Alternative 2)
Recommendation/s
That the Puketāpapa Local Board:
a) approves the names ‘Koheraunui Rise’ (Road 1 – Location A), ‘Te Onekiri Road’ (Road 2 – Location B), ‘Te Tātua o Pere Road’ (Road 3 – Location C) and ‘Riukiuta Avenue’ (Road 4 – Location D) for the new public roads created by way of subdivision at 995 Mount Eden Road, Three Kings, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (Road naming reference RDN90105331, resource consent references BUN60394190 and SUB60394192).
Horopaki
Context
7. Resource consent reference BUN60394190 (subdivision reference number SUB60394192) was issued in April 2020 to facilitate the creation of a future residential neighbourhood containing 300-400 homes with associated roading, including ten public roads to vest.
8. Road and location plans of the development can be found in Attachment A and B.
9. In accordance with the Standards, every public road and any private way, COAL, and right of way, that serves more than five lots generally require a new road name in order to ensure safe, logical and efficient street numbering.
10. In this development, the public roads therefore require a name. The roads that require a name are identified in Attachment A as Locations A-D.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu
Analysis and advice
11. The Guidelines set out the requirements and criteria of the council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming across the Auckland Region. The Guidelines allow that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road names for the Local Board’s approval.
12. The Guidelines provide for road names to reflect one of the following local themes with the use of Māori names being actively encouraged:
· a historical, cultural, or ancestral linkage to an area; or
· a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity theme or feature; or
· an existing (or introduced) thematic identity in the area.
13. Theme: The preferred names for the development have been gifted from mana whenua and reflect existing peaks within the area.
Road Number |
Proposed name |
Meaning (as described by applicant) |
Road 1 / Location A |
Koheraunui Rise (Applicant Preferred) |
(‘The large-leafed kohe tree’). This is Big King. This was the eastern cone, now quarried away. Koheraunui was where the son of Taihua, a relative of Maki’s, was killed. Maki (of Ati Awa and Tainui descent, and the progenitor of Te Kawerau a Maki) gained restitution for this by his subsequent defeat of Waiohua in the battle known as Te Waewae Kōtuku. Ngāti Whatua o Orakei say that Big King should be Great King, but it has been mis-labelled. |
Big King Avenue (Alternative 1) |
This is the last remaining pa of several that originally were built in the vicinity among the cones and the tuff ring of Te Tatua a Riukiuta. The Auckland City Council Isthmus archaeological survey in 2009 noted that the pa located on ‘Big King’ is the last of three or four volcanic cones that comprised the original Three Kings. Although the site is heavily modified significant parts of the site remain intact. Intact pit and terrace features are visible on all faces of the cone, some very impressive and most appear intact. There are several excellent examples of pit complexes on the south western edge of the cone and on the ridge that extends out from the south western side of the cone. |
|
Te Toka a Whenua Avenue (Alternative 2) |
According to George Graham when Auckland was first occupied by Europeans in the 1840s this basalt stone stood on the brow of the hill Te One-kiri on the eastern side of the Three Kings Road, on what was then known as ‘Cleghorn’s Farm’. Sometime about 1865 somebody rolled it down the hill and it came to rest beside the road where it lay for several decades until in 1900 Sir John Logan Campbell had it removed to Cornwall Park; later it was set up in its present position so that it could be preserved permanently. |
|
Road 2 / Location B |
Te Onekiri Road (Applicant Preferred) |
The hill Te One-kiri was on the eastern side of the Three Kings Road, on what was then known as ‘Cleghorn’s Farm’. This is where George Graham says Te Toka tu Whenua was situated in the early days of European occupation of Auckland. |
Big King Avenue (Alternative 1) |
As above. |
|
Te Toka a Whenua Avenue (Alternative 2) |
||
Road 3 / Location C |
Te Tātua o Pere Road (Applicant Preferred) |
This name applies to the ancient time when the complex was just one large crater and its rim. |
Big King Avenue (Alternative 1) |
As above. |
|
Te Toka a Whenua Avenue (Alternative 2) |
||
Road 4 / Location D |
Riukiuta Avenue (Applicant Preferred) |
Riukiuta the Navigator of the Tainui waka After Ngatoroirangi’s untimely departure Riu-ki-uta was appointed navigator and immediately summoned the children of Tangaroa to accompany the waka for the remainder of the voyage. These taniwha were the descendants of Ruaimoko the youngest child of Rangi and Papa and were the spirits of the gods; they were called Ngāti Heke. The leader of the guardians is remembered as Māwake-nui-o-rangi; other taniwha were Paneiraira who beat down the waves and the mischief makers, Ihe and Mangōhikaroa. Altogether eighty taniwha, or fish, swam with the waka on its voyage to Aotearoa. |
Big King Avenue (Alternative 1) |
As above. |
|
Te Toka a Whenua Avenue (Alternative 2) |
14. A more detailed description of the names proposed can be found in the Puketāpapa Local Board Three Kings Heritage Study 2015.
15. Assessment: All the name options listed in the table above have been assessed by the council’s Subdivision Specialist team to ensure that they meet both the Guidelines and the Standards in respect of road naming. The technical standards are considered to have been met and duplicate names are not located in close proximity. It is therefore for the local board to decide upon the suitability of the names within the local context and in accordance with the delegation.
16. Confirmation: Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable for use at this location.
17. Road Type: ‘Road’, ‘Avenue’, and ‘Rise’ are acceptable road types for the new public roads, suiting their form and layout.
18. Consultation: Mana whenua were consulted in line with the processes and requirements described in the Guidelines. Additional commentary is provided in the Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori section that follows.
Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
19. The naming of roads has no effect on climate change. Relevant environmental issues have been considered under the provisions of the Resource Management Act 1991 and the associated approved resource consent for the development.
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
20. The decision sought for this report has no identified impacts on other parts of the council group. The views of council-controlled organisations were not required for the preparation of the report’s advice.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
21. The decision sought for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate local impact beyond those outlined in this report.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
22. To aid local board decision making, the Guidelines include an objective of recognising cultural and ancestral linkages to areas of land through engagement with mana whenua, particularly through the resource consent approval process, and the allocation of road names where appropriate. The Guidelines identify the process that enables mana whenua the opportunity to provide feedback on all road naming applications and in this instance, the process has been adhered to.
24. On 7 April 2022 mana whenua were contacted by the applicant to confirm the allocation of the names to each new road in the development.
25. Representatives of the following groups with an interest in the general area were contacted:
· Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki (Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki Tribal Trust)
· Ngāti Maru (Ngāti Maru Rūnanga Trust)
· Ngāti Pāoa (Ngāti Paoa Iwi Trust)
· Ngāti Pāoa (Ngāti Paoa Trust Board)
· Ngāti Te Ata (Te Ara Rangatu o Te Iwi o Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua)
· Te Ākitai Waiohua (Te Ākitai Waiohua Iwi Authority)
· Waikato – Tainui (Te Whakakitenga o Waikato Incorporated)
· Ngāti Tamaoho
· Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei
26. On 4 May 2022 Ngāti Te Ata confirmed they had no preference with regards to the allocation of the names to the public roads, as long as the gifted names were utilised in the development.
27. On 1 March a follow-up email was sent to all groups confirming the use ‘Riukiuta Avenue’ for Location D, as the previous preferred option was not considered acceptable by LINZ.
28. To date, no further responses, comments, or feedback were received.
29. This site is not listed as a site of significance to mana whenua.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea
Financial implications
30. The road naming process does not raise any financial implications for the council.
31. The applicant has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed accordingly once approval is obtained for the new road names.
Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga
Risks and mitigations
32. There are no significant risks to the council as road naming is a routine part of the subdivision development process, with consultation being a key component of the process.
Ngā koringa ā-muri
Next steps
33. Approved road names are notified to LINZ which records them on its New Zealand wide land information database. LINZ provides all updated information to other users, including emergency services.
