Horopaki

Context

6. The Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 states that each local board must:

· adopt their local board plan by 31 October of the year following an election

· use the special consultative procedure (SCP) to engage with their communities.

7. Local board plans are strategic documents developed every three years. They set a direction for local boards and reflect community priorities and preferences. They provide a guide for local board activity, funding and investment decisions. They also influence local board input into regional strategies and plans, including annual budgets.

8. The plans inform the development of the council’s 10-year budget. They also form the basis for development of the annual local board agreement for the following three financial years and subsequent work programmes.

9. The financial outlook for the council has been impacted by ongoing broad economic factors such as rising inflation, higher interest rates, supply chain difficulties and a labour market squeeze as well as the COVID-19 pandemic impacts. The council consulted with the public in March 2023 on a proposal to address the then forecasted budget deficit of $295 million in the council’s Annual Budget 2023/2024, including a proposal to reduce local board funding.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

10. The draft Franklin Local Board Plan 2023 has been developed considering:

· previous community engagement, including engagement on the Annual Budget 2023/2024.

· subject matter expert advice from the council and other council organisations

· mana whenua and mataawaka views through previous feedback, and through the southern Local Boards and Mana whenua Ara Kōtui rōpū.

11. The draft Franklin Local Board Plan 2023 has been developed while the Annual Budget 2023/2024 was also being developed. It is possible that some of the priorities and preferences may need to change as a result of changes to local board funding.

Key features

12. Key features of the draft Franklin Local Board Plan 2023 include:

· Proposal to re-organise community services and facilities so that they are financially sustainable, but with improved equity of access

· Proposal to develop a Franklin Paths Programme to enable communities to contribute to climate action and adopt active transport

· Proposal to progress opportunities for shared governance with mana whenua

· Proposal on advocacy priorities, including advocating for local priorities to be reflected in the 10-year budget, and Regional Land Transport Plan.

Engagement approach for the SCP

13. The consultation period will run from 13 July to 14 August 2023.

14. The Have Your Say event recommended to be held in the Franklin Local Board area is:

· Have Your Say drop in session – Saturday 29th July 2023, 11-1pm, Franklin: The Centre, 12 Massey Ave, Pukekohe

15. The board may choose to add other additional Have Your Say events at its discretion.

16. Engagement with iwi Māori will be through a separate process that runs concurrent with public consultation process.

17. Collective engagement with mana whenua will be through Ara Kōtui.

18. The local board may also meet with iwi Māori individually to hear their feedback verbally, and iwi may provide written feedback if that is their preferred method for giving feedback. A template will be provided to support this at the time the draft plans are shared with iwi Māori.

5. The special consultative procedure requires the council to provide an opportunity for people to present their views to the council in a manner that enables ‘spoken (or New Zealand sign language) interaction’ between the person and the council’s decision-makers or their official delegates. The recommended Have Your Say events, along with the recommended delegation to elected members and staff to hear from the public in relation to the local board agreement, provides the opportunity for this spoken interaction.

Consultation documentation and translations

19. To support people to be able to provide feedback in a way that suits them, information will be provided online and in hard copy.

20. Hard copies and feedback forms will be available at all libraries and service centres or on request by calling 09 301 0101.

21. The draft local board plan will be available to view online at akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/hub-page/local-board-plans-2023.

Methods for obtaining feedback

22. Feedback will be gathered through the channels described below:

· online submission via akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/hub-page/local-board-plans-2023.

· Have Your Say face-to-face engagement events (spoken interaction)

· written submissions, for example pro forma and letters received by post or email

· verbal submission through telephone by calling 09 301 0101

· partnerships with community partners to obtain feedback from our diverse/hard to reach communities.

Processing feedback

23. Feedback will be analysed and collated for local board members to consider prior to making decisions on the final local board plan.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

24. The draft Franklin Local Board Plan 2023 reflects the impacts of predicted climate change. It considers such impacts as increasing temperatures, rising sea levels and changing rainfall patterns on the local board area.

25. The plan includes a section for Climate Action, as well as these considerations being addressed throughout the plan. Specific objectives and initiatives in the plan include:

i) Develop a community-led Climate Plan that:

· considers local challenges and opportunities.

· supports the local board to invest in community-led action.

· is a platform for community participation in climate action.

· is a platform for attracting regional, government and other third-party investment.

ii) Progress a local targeted rate to fund co-ordination and co-delivery of a Franklin Paths network that:

· connects town centres and villages to sustainable transport options and centres of community activity.

· enables a shift in the way we travel.

· attracts investment from third parties and through regional climate action targeted rate.

iii) Partner with Ngaati Te Ata in the delivery of the Te Korowai o Papatūānuku environmental restoration project (restore sites of cultural significance)

iv) Support a Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki as kaitiaki to lead restoration of the environment at Nikau Pā

v) Advocate for a requirement that all public space projects in urban/future urban areas to contribute to increased tree canopy cover, quality green spaces and green infrastructure.

vi) Advocate for a change of policy and process so that new developments deliver ‘urban lungs’ i.e. areas to be planted with semi-mature trees

vii) Identify opportunities to reduce Franklin’s mowing footprint by replacing lawn with trees.

26. The impact on the climate from the process of engagement has been considered. Digital feedback will be encouraged where possible, and printing of hard copies will be limited. The ability to provide feedback from any location reduces the need to travel to a specific location.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

27. The approval of the Franklin draft Local Board Plan 2023 for public consultation will enable the local board to receive feedback on the communities’ aspirations and on the direction the local board intends to take. Planning and operational areas of the council have taken part in the development and review of the draft plans.

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

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

43. Following adoption, the statement of proposal, including the draft Franklin Local Board Plan 2023, will be available for public consultation from 13 July to 14 August 2023.

Horopaki

Context

8. Local board plans are strategic documents that are developed every three years to set a direction for local boards. Local board plans outline the priorities and preferences of the communities within the local board area in respect of the level and nature of local activities to be provided by the Auckland Council over a 3-year period, and provide the basis for the development of annual local board agreements. For each financial year, Auckland Council must also have a local board agreement, as agreed between the Governing Body and the local board, for each local board area.

9. Throughout the development of the Annual Budget 2023/2024, local board chairs (or delegated local board representatives) have had the opportunity to attend Governing Body workshops on key topics and provide local board views on regional issues being considered as part of the Annual Budget 2023/2024.

10. Auckland Council has faced ongoing budget challenges, and recent and rapid increases in inflation and interest rates have placed significant pressure on the council’s financial position.

11. From 28 February to 28 March 2023, the council consulted with the public on a proposal to address the forecasted budget deficit of $295 million in the council’s Annual Budget 2023/2024. The council’s proposed response to mitigate the budget pressures for 2023/2024 included a proposed reduction of $16 million to local board operational funding – this would require the Franklin Local Board to reduce its planned operating spend by $796,000.

12. Six locally held events were held in the Franklin Local Board area to engage with the community and seek feedback on both regional and local proposals.

13. A report analysing the feedback on local board priorities, as well as feedback from those living in the local board area related to the regional issues, was included as an attachment on the 9 May business meeting agenda.

14. Local boards considered this feedback, and then held discussions with the Governing Body at a workshop on 17 May 2023 on regional issues, community feedback and key local board initiatives and advocacy areas.

15. The Franklin Local Board also approved advocacy initiatives for the Annual Budget 2023/2024 at the 9 May business meeting (resolution number FR/2023/58).

16. At its 8 June 2023 meeting, the Governing Body made decisions on the Annual Budget – including a reduction of $4 million to local board operational funding – this requires the Franklin Local Board to reduce its planned operating spend by $230,116 (giving the Franklin Local Board $566,371 more funding than proposed in consultation).

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Local board agreement

17. Both staff and the local board have reviewed the local feedback received as part of consultation on the Annual Budget 2023/2024 and local boards have received a report analysing the local feedback. It is now recommended that local boards adopt local content for the Annual Budget 2023/2024 (Attachment A), including the Local Board Agreement 2023/2024, the message from the chair, and local board advocacy.

Local Fees and Charges

18. It is recommended that local boards adopt the local fees and charges schedule for 2023/2024 (Attachment B).

Early adoption of work programme activities

19. Local board work programmes outline activities, projects, budgets and timelines. Work programmes are usually approved in June for delivery at the start of the financial year (1 July 2023).

20. Due to the proposal in the Annual Budget consultation document to reduce local board funding, the budget available for local board work programmes was not confirmed until the Governing Body decision on 8 June 2023. To allow time for advice to be prepared after this decision, this year the work programmes will be approved in July.

21. The local work programme activities that local boards are recommended to approve align with the performance measures in Local Board Agreements and to community groups who rely on funding in July 2023 (Attachment C).

22. These activities for the Franklin Local Board are outlined in table 1: Work programme activities for early approval:

Table 1: Work programme activities for early approval

ID	Activity Name	Budget (LDI Opex)
3107	Franklin Local Economic Broker programme	$160,000
119	Community Partnership Grants	$182,000
TBC	Franklin Paths Programme	$40,000

23. More information on these activities is available in attachment C.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

24. The decisions recommended in this report are procedural in nature and will not have any climate impacts themselves.

25. Some of the proposed projects in the Local Board Agreement may have climate impacts. The climate impacts of any projects the council chooses to progress with will be assessed as part of the relevant reporting requirements.

26. Some of the proposed projects in the Local Board Agreement will be specifically designed to mitigate climate impacts, build resilience to climate impacts, and restore the natural environment.

27. Local boards worked with council departments to develop their local board work programmes for 2023/2024 that will be adopted at July business meetings. The draft local board work programmes help inform the local board agreements.

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

Local impacts and local board views

28. This report seeks local board adoption of its content for the Annual Budget 2023/2024 and other associated material, including the Local Board Agreement 2023/2024.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

29. Many local board decisions are of importance to and impact on Māori. Local board agreements and the Annual Budget are important tools that enable and can demonstrate the council’s responsiveness to Māori.

30. Local board plans, which were developed in 2020 through engagement with the community including Māori, form the basis of local priorities. There is a need to continue to build relationships between local boards and iwi, and where relevant, the wider Māori community.

31. Of those who submitted on the Annual Budget 2023/2024 from the Franklin Local Board area 10 per cent identified as Māori (90 submissions). Eight iwi entities with interests in the Franklin Local Board rohe also made a submission to the Annual Budget 2023-2024. These submissions were provided to the local board for consideration at local board workshops during the development of their local board agreement.

32. Ongoing conversations will assist local boards and Māori to understand each other’s priorities and issues. This in turn can influence and encourage Māori participation in the council’s decision-making processes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

33. The local board agreement includes the allocation of locally driven initiatives (LDI) funding and asset-based services (ABS) funding to projects and services for the 2023/2024 financial year.

34. LDI funding is discretionary funding allocated to local boards based on the Local Board Funding Policy (included in the10-year Budget 2021-2031), which local boards can spend on priorities for their communities. Local boards can also utilise LDI funding to increase local levels of service if they wish to do so.

35. Funding for ABS is allocated by the Governing Body to local boards based on current levels of service to run and maintain local assets and services including parks, pools and recreation facilities, community facilities, and libraries.

36. A local fees and charges schedule for 2023/2024 is adopted alongside the Local Board Agreement 2023-2024. The fees and charges have been formulated based on region-wide baseline service levels and revenue targets. Where fees and charges are amended by a local board that results in lower revenue for the council, the shortfall will need to be made up by either allocating LDI funds or reducing expenditure on other services to balance overall budgets.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

37. Decisions on the local content of the Annual Budget 2023/2024, including the Local Board Agreement 2023/2024 and a local fees and charges schedule for 2023/2024, are required by 22 June 2023 to ensure the Governing Body can adopt the final Annual Budget 2023/2024, including each Local Board Agreement, at its 29 June 2023 meeting.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

38. The resolutions of this meeting will be reported to the Governing Body on 29 June 2023 when it meets to adopt the Annual Budget 2023/2024, including 21 local board agreements.

39. It is possible that minor changes may need to be made to the attachments before the Annual Budget 2023/2024 is adopted, such as correction of any errors identified and minor wording changes. Staff therefore recommend that the local board delegates authority to the Chair to make any final changes if necessary.

40. Local board agreements set the priorities and budget envelopes for each financial year. Work programmes then detail the activities that will be delivered within those budget envelopes. Work programmes will be agreed between local boards and operational departments at business meetings in July 2023.

He kōrero mai i te Heamana

Message from the Chair

Planning our budget this year has been an extremely challenging exercise. Budget constraints teamed with a clear need to response to strategic challenges associated with population growth and climate change has meant the board needed to focus on core priorities like never before.

As a result, there are some projects and programmes that we are pausing or stopping this year, to make way for new initiatives or to reflect resource constraints.

We are however continuing to invest in our young people as the citizens of the future by funding ‘youth influencer’ programmes across all three of our sub-divisions. This will amplify the voices of our young people and create a greater connection back into their local communities.

We will continue to support community-led service delivery and events albeit to a reduced degree. We will prioritise our community partnerships so that local variance of delivery can be accommodated. We will also actively facilitate and advocate for locally led emergency response and resilience planning.

We will support local coastal safety programmes and services because we have 15% of Auckland’s total coastline covering both west and east coasts and are a popular destination for summer visitors.

We will continue to support our local businesses and employers to thrive, our business associations to leverage local opportunity from investment and will continue to advocate strongly for the south to be recognised for its economic development potential.

We continue our investment in the regeneration of our environment, through the Ngaati te Ata led Te Korowai o Papatuuanuku, the Papakura Stream restoration and community pest eradication programmes.

We continue to advocate strongly for regional and national investment in the south to address inequity of service, to address the infrastructure deficit and to create future opportunities for our growing and changing communities.

Finally, we asked for and gained support from Franklin communities to progress work on a Franklin Paths programme. We plan to progress this work over 2023-2024 and develop a proposal for consultation next year. This programme will seek to enable all our residents to participate in climate action through reduced or shorter vehicle movements.

I would like to thank everyone who used their voice in the recent public consultation. You have been heard, and our commitments this year reflect that voice.

Ngā mihi,

Our goal is to support our people to create and access new job opportunities, advocate for regional, national and third-party investment in infrastructure, and invest in initiatives that develop, leverage from and promote our local strengths as we anticipate changes to our economy, environment and population.

Outcome 2: Improved transport options and fit for purpose roads.

We will advocate for transport improvements and services that enable our communities to be less car dependent and for design of and investment in the roading network, so that it can safely accommodate current and future use.

Outcome 3: Fit-for-purpose places and facilities

We will plan for and respond to future growth and the impacts of climate change while protecting and celebrating what is special and unique about our communities.

Outcome 4: Kaitiakitanga and protection of our environment

We will work with mana whenua, local communities, and others to lead and inform environmental conservation, restoration, and regeneration projects and to recover and regenerate waste.

Outcome 5: Cultural heritage and Māori identity is expressed in our communities.

We will support the capture, recording and promotion of local cultural narratives so that new residents, visitors, and future generations can experience, understand, and enjoy our stories and perspectives.

Outcome 6: A sense of belonging and strong community participation

We will support and enable community organisations to deliver local community activities and cultural programmes, to encourage local participation and to respond to local change.

The local board agreement outlined in this document reflects how we plan to support these outcomes through agreed activities in the 2023/2024 financial year. In addition, each local board carries out responsibilities delegated by the Governing Body in accordance with the delegated power, and with the general priorities and preferences in the local board plan.

Working with Māori

Delivering on Auckland Council’s commitment to Māori at a local level is a priority for local boards. The council is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi / the Treaty of Waitangi and its broader statutory obligations to Māori.

To meet this commitment, the Franklin Local Board Plan seeks to support local Māori outcomes, prioritising initiatives that are for Māori by Māori. Examples of initiatives that deliver Māori outcomes and that will be supported by the Franklin Local Board include:

· Support for the Ngaati te Ata led Te Korowai Papatuuaanuku environmental restoration programme.

· Partnering with Ngai tai ki Tamaki in managing Waiomaru Reserves

· Planning for the restoration of Nikau Pa with Ngai tai ki Tamaki

· Continuing the Te Kete Rukuruku park co-naming programme

· Continuing investment in the ‘Tuia’ governance-Rangatahi mentorship programme

· Continued support for the Ara Kōtui (southern local board-Iwi Māori) closer governance relationships forum.

Appendix A: Advocacy initiatives

A key role of the local board is to advocate for initiatives that the local board may not have decision-making responsibilities or funding for in the Annual Budget but recognise the value it will add to the local community.

The key initiatives that the local board advocated for as part of this Annual Budget were:

Initiative	Description
Address inequity of local board funding	Local boards in the south, and others across the region are underfunded and, due to the asset-based funding model are often under served by the organisation. The Governance Framework Review identified this as an issue that must be addressed. The Franklin Local Board will continue to advocate to the Governing Body, that the funding for local boards is reviewed and inequity be addressed, including funding the Franklin Local Board appropriately to deliver local outcomes.
Equitable investment in the south	Franklin, Papakura and the north Waikato are experiencing significant population growth and change. Sustainable and regenerative growth requires significant investment in economic development, investment in Māori outcomes and climate action initiatives in the south. Local Boards are best placed to identify these investment opportunities. To do so, with governing body must address local board funding inequity without delay. The board considers that the Governing Body should empower the local board to address local challenges, but also should invest in and direct the organisation and CCOs to engage with the Franklin Local Board (and Iwi in the southern local boards rohe) on the following programmes: · The Southern Economic Development Plan · Unlock Pukekohe (Eke Panuku-led) · The Southern Initiative · The Māori Outcomes investment programme.
Fund recreation service provision in south east Auckland	That the governing body must provide adequate funding for the delivery of recreational services at Te Puru, noting that: · current funding levels will not enable continued community-led provision and · the population levels in the area have reached the threshold for justify council-led service provision.
Support communities in local resilience and recovery planning	Franklin communities are particularly vulnerable to emergency events to the proximity to the coast, underinvestment in infrastructure maintenance, greenfield intensification/changes to the natural environment and distance from centralised response services. Auckland’s regional emergency management programme must actively consider and resource localised resilience and recovery planning.
Franklin Paths Programme Targeted Rate	Advocate for governing body approval of a pan-Franklin Targeted Rate to enable delivery of a Franklin Paths Programme that; · Plans and co-ordinates delivery of a paths network across Franklin that enables Franklin residents to participate in the reduction of carbon emissions from private cars ie. contribute to Auckland Climate Action · Enables Franklin’s villages and town centres (including young people and older people) to safely access services, facilities and jobs without using private vehicles (including public transport hubs) · Enables people living in settlements and villages to take shorter trips in private vehicles (when accessing facilities, services and jobs) · Leverages ‘joined up’ delivery of active transport infrastructure (footpaths, cycle paths etc) from growth ie. developer delivered infrastructure.

Appendix B: How to contact your Local Board

Climate impact statement

10. The Local Board Grants Programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to address climate change by providing grants to individuals and groups for projects that support and enable community climate action. Community climate action involves reducing or responding to climate change by local 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; increasing access to single-occupancy transport options; home energy efficiency and community renewable energy generation; local tree planting and streamside revegetation; and educating about sustainable lifestyle choices that reduce carbon footprints.
