Auckland Transport - Manurewa Local Board update September 2023

File No.: CP2023/13181

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To update the Manurewa Local Board on transport related matters.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The purpose of the report is to provide an update on transport related items, including:

· Separated Cycleways and CERF

· Local Board Capital Fund

· Auckland Transport Capital Expenditure

· Bus Driver Shortages.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) receive the report from Auckland Transport on its September update.

Horopaki

Context

3. Auckland Transport (AT) is responsible for all of Auckland’s transport services, excluding state highways. AT reports on a regular basis to local boards, as set out in the Local Board Engagement Plan. This reporting commitment acknowledges the important engagement role local boards play within and on behalf of their local communities.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

4. This section of the report contains information about relevant projects, issues and initiatives. It provides summaries of the detailed advice and analysis provided to the local board during workshops and briefings.

Separated Cycleways and CERF

5. On the 6^th of April the board workshopped the AT proposal to construct separated cycle ways along Mahia and Roscommon roads in the Manurewa Local Board area using Climate Emergency Response Funding (CERF), and as part of a larger package of work. The board expressed concerns about the need, usage and maintenance issues if this proposal proceeded.

At the 15 June Meeting the board resolved:

“the board does not support the installation of concrete cycleway separators on any roads in the Manurewa Local Board area”.

6. Since then the Climate Emergency Response Fund (CERF) team tasked with delivering cycle infrastructure have spoken to the Chair and Deputy Chair of the board and had a further workshop on 7 September 2023.

7. The Board will have the opportunity to formalise further feedback on the separated cycleways and broader CERF proposal at its late September business meeting.

Auckland Transport Capital Budget

8. Auckland Transport’s annual Capital Investment Plan is set in June each year. It outlines a plan to maintain roads, ferry terminals, bus facilities and train stations and allocates the current financial year’s investment in capital projects to improve Tāmaki Makaurau’s transport network.

9. This year’s capital investment plan, represents a total of $1.058 billion, that responds to the transport priorities Aucklanders told us are most important, including the following:

• Public transport: Consultation tells us that 95% of Aucklanders want faster, easier to use and more frequent public transport that goes to more places. Auckland Transport is spending $384 million (41% of the budget) on improving Auckland’s public transport network. This includes the Eastern Busway, additional electric trains, decarbonising and updating the ferry fleet and implementing open loop contactless payment across buses, trains and ferries.

• Maintaining the road network. Many Aucklanders need to move around by car so we are continuing to invest in maintaining the road network.

• Recovery: Auckland Transport is spending approximately $125-$150 million on rebuilding roads damaged by the Auckland Anniversary Weekend floods and Cyclone Gabrielle to get people moving around again.

10. On 10 July 2023, at the Local Board Chairs’ Forum, Auckland Transport’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer confirmed that this financial year’s planned capital investment of $1.058 billion is 10.8% lower than the $1.186 billion originally outlined in the Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP).

11. In the latest reprioritisation process, the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF) was reduced from $11 million to $7 million. This is due to budget pressures Auckland Transport and our funding partners are facing including:

• absorbing the additional $125-$150 million required for flood recovery on Auckland’s roads

• inflation and the rising costs of doing business.

12. This means we must pause some capital projects that we had previously planned for this financial year. The Local Board Team is finalising the 2023/24 detailed budget by local board and by project. Our Local Board Transport Capital Fund team and the Finance team shared this with the board in September 2023, supported by the AT Elected Member Relationship Partners (EMRP).

Local Board Capital Fund

13. Noting the financial constraints documented above, there is a need to review the projects currently approved for funding in this term with regard to the Local Board Transport Capital Fund (LBTCF). This is because the funding has been reduced by $10m from the assumptions that were workshopped and resolved early in the year.

14. A workshop on 7 September 2023 informed the board of the implications for the Manurewa Local Board. The consequential resolutions can be considered at the meeting.

Bus Driver Shortage

15. At the peak of the driver shortage just eight months ago, Auckland was 578 drivers short. This was a result of the impact of Covid, a competitive labour market and immigration restrictions in 2020/23.

16. Auckland now has three more bus drivers than the required 2,306 to operate Auckland’s buses. This means more buses and more reliability across Auckland’s bus network.

17. The operators have done an excellent job of attracting and retaining drivers over the last ten months, and it is great to see passengers return as services become more dependable.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

18. AT engages closely with Council on developing strategy, actions and measures to support the outcomes sought by the Auckland Plan 2050, the Auckland Climate Action Plan and Council’s priorities.

19. AT’s core role is in providing attractive alternatives to private vehicle travel, reducing the carbon footprint of its own operations and, to the extent feasible, that of the contracted public transport network.

20. There is a growing global, national and local need to urgently address the threats posed by climate change through reducing GHG emissions. The scientific evidence is compelling. In New Zealand the Climate Change Response (Zero-Carbon) Act was enacted in 2019, which requires national GHG emissions to be net-zero by 2050. In June 2019 Auckland Council declared a climate emergency, followed by the endorsement in July 2020 of Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri:

21. Auckland’s Climate Plan. Tackling climate change will require a very significant change to the way we travel around our region although the timing and the detail of how this change might unfold are still to become obvious. Climate change targets development of the RLTP through the Auckland Transport Alignment Project (ATAP) occurred with a strong awareness of central government climate change legislation and Auckland Council climate change targets. Auckland Council through its C40 (Cities Climate Leadership Group) obligations and the Auckland Climate Plan has committed to a 50 percent reduction in emissions by 2030, the amount required to keep the planet within 1.5°C of warming by 2100.

22. Roughly five percent of Auckland’s road and rail strategic networks are found in areas susceptible to coastal inundation, including parts of the state highway network which are crucial links for freight movements and access to key regional destinations. Over 1,000km (or about 13 percent) of AT’s local road network has recently been identified as vulnerable to a 1-in-100 year flood event. AT is currently identifying and prioritising the risks of climate change to the transport system (assets, services, customers and staff) to permit a more strategic approach to designing and managing our assets in the future.

Council group impacts and views

23. The impact of information (or decisions) in this report are confined to AT and do not impact on other parts of the council group.

Local impacts and local board views

24. The purpose of this report is to inform the local board.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

25. There are no impacts specific to Māori for this reporting period. AT is committed to meeting its responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi - the Treaty of Waitangi - and its broader legal obligations in being more responsible or effective to Māori.

26. Our Māori Responsiveness Plan outlines the commitment to with 19 mana whenua tribes in delivering effective and well-designed transport policy and solutions for Auckland. We also recognise mataawaka and their representative bodies and our desire to foster a relationship with them.

27. This plan in full is available on the AT’s Website - https://at.govt.nz/about-us/transport-plans-strategies/maori-responsiveness-plan/#about

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. Te Puhinui is a key move in the Eke Panuku led Transform Manukau programme.

3. Eke Panuku and Healthy Waters have partnered to enable the design work of Te Aka Raataa.

4. Te Aka Raataa is the key missing land piece to begin the journey of a fully connected Puhinui stream corridor and that delivers on key priorities that will improve the stream’s function and health, well connected pathways along the awa, planting and new open space provisions for the growing communities of Wiri.

5. Eke Panuku undertook significant engagement for Te Aka Raataa in order to capture the wide range of views from different stakeholders and users. This included face-to-face wananga, individual workshops, and onsite meetings that has influenced the final concept plan (Attachment A).

6. The proposed concept plan responds to the strategy frameworks by regenerating around 1.1km of the stream corridor and creating an experiential pedestrian and cycling connection to commence the Puhinui Journey.

Horopaki

Context

9. Te Puhinui is a culturally and ecologically significant stream and represents a unique opportunity to create connectivity for people, place and nature, from one expansive green space to another via a stream corridor.

10. The Puhinui catchment flows into the Manukau Harbour. Both the stream and the harbour have significant water quality issues. The strategy and associated charter acknowledge the interdependency of people, place, and nature, and seeks to return health (whakaora) to all. Resolution number MR/2021/131

11. Waiohua iwi gifted the name Te Aka Raataa for this project to acknowledge the natural landscape of white raataa vines and trees that once adorned this area and to clearly represent the two adjoining sites.

12. Site One: Raataa Vine Stream Reserve 3.9-hectare stream esplanade strip that is located between two residential areas. The reserve has minimal visitation is mostly used as a transit path to Botanic Gardens.

· The Puhinui stream is situated in the middle of this reserve with a 1.8m wide concrete pathway to the north. The stream is straight and narrow with a large section of it concrete-lined channel.

13. Site Two: Te Whatu Ora Site (the un-named site) 7.6 hectares of green space, located along Great South Road and Kerrs Road, shrubby trees have been planted on each end of the Puhinui. One existing asset onsite is the old historic bridge built by Dilworth Trust in 1930’s, the bridge is over the stream and still in good condition.

· The Puhinui was straightened removing a large meander, that resulted in three natural wetlands.

14. Raataa Vine and Te Whatu Ora are connected via Great South Road underpass that is the only direct connect for the adjoining sites.

Surrounding Developments

15. Te Aka Raataa is located in the centre of significant urban redevelopment including both residential and commercial infrastructure. Residential development is set to grow more than 2000 plus that will surround Te Aka Raataa, this includes:

Residential Development	Approximate numbers
Wirihana	642
Pacific Gardens	1100
Future Kainga Ora Wiri developments	Unknown, upwards of 500 houses

16. Commercial development is underway with Te Whatu Ora Manukau Superclinic who are investing $316m in order to develop new facilities, enabling approximately 150,000 additional patient appointments, over 3000 additional surgeries per year and around 450 new full-time staff members.

17. Te Aka Raataa concept plan (Attachment A) has been led with the Puhinui Strategy outcomes along with integration and support of the surrounding developments.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

18. Te Aka Raataa is located within the Puhinui headwaters that requires significant design and engagement to achieve the wide aspirations.

19. A key step in the engagement included three wananga (space of sharing knowledge) at Nathan Homestead. Each were well attended with approximately 50 attendees that included key partners, stakeholders and signatories of the Charter including the Manurewa Local Board. Timing of the wananga were at key design phases to provide optimal input and influence:

1) December 2022	Site walkover, cultural induction, meet the project team, guiding principles. Agreeing on awa first approach.
2) April 2023	50% concept plan, focus on stream options, site investigations and known site issues.
3) June 2023	90% concept plan gathering feedback on the park facilities and amenities.

20. Key feedback supported the stream first approach, working with the surrounding developments to future proof, achieve climate resilience, provide quality recreational assets, safety, connection with the awa, extensive planting and flexible community spaces for rest, play and fitness.

21. Technical Design Reviews

· The concept design is supported by technical inputs, external and internal reviews including engineers, planners, geotechnical, hydrogeologist, ecologists, urban and landscape architectures.

· The overall design has been independently reviewed by Technical Advisory Group (TAG) who are leading design practitioners, they supported the plan, noting the design represents the reversal of loss natural landscape and greater opportunities for communities to reconnect with the awa.

22. The key deliverables for Te Aka Raataa are to regenerate the stream, improve water quality, increase ngahere and biodiversity. Provide accessible cycling and walking paths around the awa with provisions of large open green space for people to enjoy and activate.

23. The below table provides a detailed list of these key deliverables and benefits through application of Taiao (Nature), Whenua (Place) and Tangata (People) as shown in the final Te Aka Raataa concept plan, Attachment A.

Taiao (Nature) considers the natural environment of Te Aka Raataa, this has been broken into four aspects awa (stream), repo (wetlands), ngahere (forest/Trees) and Rongoa (traditional medicinal planting).
Awa (Stream) Additional stream length of 300m	Te Whatu Ora: Maintain the parent stream as the high flow bypass. Additional stream length that reflects the original stream meander for standard flows Raataa Vine: Remove and naturalise the stream, increase the meanders with the site boundaries
Repo (wetlands – both natural and treated) Site wide treatment capability is 9-10% of Puhinui catchment	Te Whatu Ora o Protect and enhance the three natural wetlands with extensive planting and connection to the awa. o Potential forebay o Large treatment wetland constructed to treat and improve water quality. Raataa Vine: Two new treatment wetlands and day some of the pipes.
Ngahere Forest (Increase the biodiversity through trees, flora and fauna habitats)	Te Whatu Ora o Create a new 20m riparian planting buffer along the stream o Increase the indigenous tree canopy forest giants such as Puriri, Kauri, Totara and Kahikatea o Remove some existing ngahere to provide safer connections and o New habitats for insects, birds and fish to thrive Raataa Vine o 10m wide riparian planting o Protect existing trees and increase indigenous tree canopy o New habitats for insects, birds and fish to thrive
Whenua (Place) considers built environment of Te Aka Raataa through pathways, taakaro (Play) including basketball and informal recreation. Hapori (Community Spaces) including fitness and community amenities.
Pathway Connections promotes good circulation, cycling and walking around the sites this (both permeable and impermeable)	Te Whatu Ora o Cycle and walking through 4m wide paths and 2m informal paths. o Provides for maintenance access and manoeuvring o Allows for boardwalks and informal crossings o Retain and tidy up of the historic bridge o Potential new bridge to connect Wirihana development Raataa Vine o Cycle and walking route via 3m wide shared path and 1.8 informal pathways network o New footbridges to connect the residential areas o Reuse of old concrete with crazy paving or aggregate
Taakaro (Play) Promotes playfulness, adventure activities through cultural and nature	Focus on cultural and nature play that uses timber, stumpery and rocks o Potential for water play o Allows for accessible inclusive nature play o Target audience - from preschoolers to teens o Play along the way experience through wheel play, nature trail and education
	Informal multi-use green space Large and medium flexible green space informal o Sports, event space and flood detention opportunity o outdoor classrooms and community gather spaces Small open space zone o Meadow style space to consider no mow zones o Restful spaces
Hapori/ Community Spaces Promotes areas for community to rest, reflect and be active	Multiple opportunities across the site for o Picnic tables, seats, shelters, rubbish bins and viewing areas will be placed thoughtfully around the site o Accessible BBQ areas (Te Whatu Ora only)
	*Fitness* o Fitness hub to promote group activiations by Kerrs Road o Durable range of fitness that promotes strength training, agility, balance, and coordination. o On rubber surface to promote accessibility o Target audience are groups, youth, adults, and older people o Explore opportunities of fitness through a nature trail along the awa
Tangata (People) considers how the space will be used, safety, access and identity.
Mahinga Kai (Resource gathering)	Indigenous plants will be planted generously along Te Aka Raataa to allow wild harvesting for arts, customary practices and increased biodiversity.
Identity establishing a sense of pride through culture and history	Multiple opportunities throughout Te Aka Raataa will be explored and developed with Waiohua through mahi toi (artwork) contributing to outcome 2 of the Local Board Plan ‘We are proud of our strong Māori identity and thriving Māori community’.
Safety	Safety will be applied through crime prevention through design. o Improvements to the underpass, strategic lighting, considers viewing shafts and maintenance access and needs.
Place for all	Providing safe spaces that are accessible throughout both sites, as per outcome 1 of the local board plan ‘Our Communities are inclusive, vibrant, healthy and connected’ as the proposed walkways and recreational zones will be accessible and inclusive.

24. Indicative timeframe for implementation

Below table provides an indicative programme of delivery for Te Aka Raataa, this will be supported by an implementation plan to identify what will be prioritised and delivered within the allocated budgets.

FY 2023/2024	Developed design, submit resource consent, detailed business case

FY 2026 – 2027	construction of the plan (subject to funding)
FY 2027/2028	Handover to Parks & Community Facilities

25. The implementation plan will provide a keyway forward on how the entire Te Aka Raataa concept plan can be delivered with the support of others in the next 5-7 years.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

26. Te Aka Raataa is a key component of Te Whakaoranga o te Puhinui that includes Te Tāruke ā Tāwhiri / Auckland’s Climate Plan as a major programme to regenerate Manukau’s blue (water) and green (land) networks. Blue-green networks deliver a wide range of significant benefits to the community including increasing climate resilience as well as ecological, social, cultural and economic regeneration.

27. Te Aka Raataa will create stormwater infrastructure, including treatment wetlands and enhanced stream corridors and will deliver multiple co-benefits in addition to protecting and enhancing the area’s stormwater conveyance and flood storage functions during large storm events. By restoring the stream and improving connectivity of the green spaces and neighbourhoods along the stream’s banks, the project will enhance water quality, erosion and flood resilience, biodiversity, safety and connection. Increased connection to the awa (stream) and green spaces will improve the community’s sense of pride and kaitiakitanga to the natural environment.

Local impacts and local board views

31. Te Aka Raataa Concept design will deliver on multiple outcomes of the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020 and supports the local boards commitment to Te Whakaoranga o te Puhinui Charter, as illustrated in Attachment A.

· Key deliverable is opportunities to enhance the natural environment through protection and enhancements of natural wetlands, increased length of stream, treatment wetlands and increase in ngahere (forest) directly delivering outcome 6 ‘Our natural environment is valued, protected and enhanced’.

32. The Manurewa Local Board have actively been involved throughout the development of this plan and provided direction and comments during three local board workshops

· 10 December 2022 – notify the board of the commencement of concept design

· 25 May 2023 – optioneering and draft concept plan of the Te Aka Raataa

· 10 August 2023 – workshop on the final concept design for Te Aka Raataa

33. Members of the local board also attended the project wananga held at Nathan Homestead.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

34. Te Aka Raataa concept plan has been developed in partnership with Ngaati Te Ata, Ngaati Tamaoho and Te Ākitai, collectively known as Waiohua Iwi via fortnightly Waiohua meetings, attending project design meetings and attendance at all three wananga.

35. Waiohua have expressed throughout the project, that the ultimate outcome and their priority for Puhinui is to have a healthy awa that is swimmable, clean, and respected by all.

36. Ngaati Tamaoho has challenged the main pathway alignment as it crosses the awa and a wetland, increasing the possibility of litter entering the stream.

37. Staff acknowledge that litter in the awa is a current issue, and for long term change the focus should be in education, sense of pride in place, increased positive activation, working with partners and communities to deliver the plan and then lastly strategic design deterrents.

38. Waiohua acknowledge that the concept plan will contribute towards the long-term aspiration for Te Puhinui and will continue to be a key partner throughout the development of this project.

Financial implications

39. Te Aka Raataa is a co-funded project between Eke Panuku and Healthy Waters (HW) agreeing to undertake the design and consent for these works under a signed funding agreement.

40. Physical works budget for this concept plan will be agreed through a detailed business case and submitted to governing body for approval. There are dependencies on Healthy Waters to obtain significant funding whilst Healthy Waters are preparing to transition into Water Service Entity A (Wai Tamaki ki te Hiku) under the Affordable Waters Reform by July 2024.

41. An independent quantity surveyor was engaged to undertake a cost estimate on the final concept design, the following costs include consenting fees, construction and 30% contingency due to uncertainty of inflation.

Te Whatu Ora	Raataa Vine	Total
$23,000,000	$14,000,000	$36,000,000

42. The concept plan is estimated to be more than initial business case of $34,000,000 and will require further support from other key partners to realise the entirety of the plan, this includes Auckland Transport, Parks & Community Facilities and Public Arts.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

43. Both sites are low lying and are located within the floodplain so are subject to inundation during large rain events. As a minimum, the design will manage the existing floodplain without increasing flood risk to neighbouring properties.

44. Options are currently being investigated to mitigate the potential flooding impact on downstream properties by constructing a bund and enhancing flood storage within the Te Whatu Ora site. Modelling is in progress to evaluate these possibilities, and further insights into these initiatives will become available during the next phase of design.

45. Both sites have existing underground services, with one significant wastewater pipe that runs through Te Whatu Ora site. To manage this risk, early engagement with Watercare has commenced to gather advice and design principles when working on or around their assets.

Surrounding developments

46. Future proofing Te Aka Raataa is important however there are still uncertainties regarding surrounding developments that may affect the overall design. As a minimum all parties have agreed to continue to work with each other and share plans.

Design

47. Lack of visibility on the Great South Road underpass has been raised and lack of an above road crossing. Improvements to the underpass may be required until the future above road crossing is provided by others.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

48. Eke Panuku will proceed with developed design and submit for resource consent for financial year 2023/2024.

49. Continue to integrate and work with surrounding neighbours and stakeholders to inform Te Aka Raataa design.

50. Eke Panuku will continue to work with the Manurewa Local Board throughout the design phases and workshop a proposed implementation plan of Te Aka Raataa outlining deliverables to ensure the key priorities of the awa health and pathways are executed.

51. Eke Panuku and Healthy Waters to work together to unlock construction funding via a detailed design case.

Manurewa Play Network Gap Analysis

File No.: CP2023/10861

Te take mō te pūrongoPurpose of the report

1. To adopt the Manurewa Local Board Play Network Gap Analysis.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. In the 2022/2023 financial year, the Manurewa Local Board allocated $30,000 Locally Driven Initiative (LDI) Opex for the development of a play network gap analysis (SharePoint #3528). The purpose of the analysis is to help support local board decision-making in the development of a network of well distributed play spaces that cater for the whole community.

3. The assessment investigated network provision, geographic spread and gaps in play experiences. It identifies investment opportunities to meet the recreational needs of a growing population.

4. The assessment was prepared following an inspection of each playground to determine current play experiences and age range provision. Opportunity maps based on the analysis of current playground catchment and distribution, age and experience provision gaps and population growth forecasting were produced to articulate development priorities.

5. Specifically, findings identified wide-ranging provision gaps in youth, wheeled, all abilities and other specialised play facilities across the 53 playgrounds within the Manurewa Local Board area.

6. Playgrounds were assessed in geographical catchments to examine the complimentary relationships between them. This information is important for planning of future upgrades of play spaces within the same catchment area and to address population growth and geographic gaps in provision.

7. To improve the network in the short term and to provide valuable play facilities for a wide range of age groups, it is recommended that the board prioritises investment in the following playgrounds:

· Clendon Community Centre Reserve

· Manu-pukatea-Felicia Park

· Rowandale Reserve

· Tairanga-Tington Park

· Totara Park (Childrens Neighbourhood Park).

8. Several gaps in play space provision were identified at a neighbourhood level. The following sites are those where, funds permitting, provision gaps could be filled:

· Greenmeadows Reserve, Manurewa East

· 11 Iwinuku Crescent, Wattle Downs

· Carnoustie Drive Foreshore, Wattle Downs

· Mountfort Park, Manurewa

· Peretao Rise Reserve, The Gardens

· 47R Scotts Road, Manurewa East

· Future public open space within the Wirihana residential development.

9. Where appropriate, it is recommended that play facilities located near each other are optimised and developed in a complementary manner or considered for decommissioning when renewals are taking place.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) whai / adopt the Manurewa Play Network Gap Analysis (Attachment A to the agenda report) as the guiding document to inform decision making on playspace development priorities.

Horopaki

Context

10. Play is essential for the development and wellbeing of individuals. Play develops creativity and imagination whilst building physical, cognitive and emotional strength.

11. The Manurewa Local Board Play Network Gap Analysis investigated network provision, geographic spread and gaps in play experiences. It identifies investment opportunities to meet the recreational needs of a growing population.

12. The opportunities include upgrading and improving playgrounds when renewals are undertaken and identifying sites where new playgrounds will fill geographic gaps, address population growth and achieve equitable provision. Optimisation opportunities are also recommended where renewals funding for two playgrounds in close proximity can be combined to develop one improved facility.

13. The analysis document was prepared in consultation with relevant plans and policies which included the Auckland Plan 2050, the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020, Local Parks Service Strategy 2020, the Open Space Provision Policy 2016 and the Parks and Open Spaces Strategic Action Plan 2013.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Play Network Analysis - Methodology

14. The document was prepared following an assessment of each of the Manurewa Local Board area’s 53 playgrounds. Consideration was given to the following factors to understand the individual play space and its relationship to the wider network:

· current distribution and catchment

· play experience and age group provision

· current population density and forecast population growth

· specialised play experiences (wheeled play, courts, fitness, and accessible

play).

15. The assessment findings enabled further analysis to inform:

· gaps or oversupply in distribution of play spaces

· playspace provision and high-level development options

· gaps in age group and play experience provision

· opportunities for specialised play provision

· development prioritisation (high, medium or low priority).

16. Opportunity maps were then produced to articulate development priorities (high, medium, low) based on each play space’s ability through improvement to fill identified network gaps and provide for population growth.

Play Network Analysis - Key Findings

17. Manurewa Local Board provides access to 53 playgrounds, comprising:

· 41 neighbourhood playgrounds – modular play facilities offering standard play experiences for a limited age range

· eight suburb playgrounds – offering a broader age range with some specialist play experiences and ball court provision

· two civic playgrounds

· one destination playground – providing access to a unique play facility offering a range of play experiences and gathering spaces.

Age groups

18. The majority of playgrounds provide for the 0 - 8 age range with very low provision for youth (13+ years). Age ranges are identified by early childhood (0 - 4 years), junior (5 - 8 years), senior (9 - 12 years) and youth (13+ years).

19. Age group provision across 53 playgrounds are as follows:

· 98 per cent provide for the early childhood (0 - 4) age range

· 100 per cent provide for junior (5 - 8) age range

· 75 per cent provide for the senior (9 - 12) age range

· 15 per cent provide for youth (13+) with ball courts being the main provision.

Play experiences

20. Most playgrounds provide standard play experiences (jumping, spinning, rocking, swinging, balancing and creative/imagination play) with low specialised play provision (water, sand, sound, nature, accessible play, fitness, wheeled play and courts).

21. Generally, the network consists of standard, modular play facilities providing similar play experiences that target a limited age range. The lack of variation results in a network with low appeal.

Accessible play

22. While 13 (24.5 per cent) of the play spaces provide some form of all ability or accessible play elements, the quality of the play experience is generally low with only one dedicated highly accessible playspace located in the network. Many of the network’s play spaces are poorly designed with raised barriers or incomplete pathway networks and are therefore inaccessible for children and caregivers with mobility needs.

Play Network Analysis - Recommendations

Priority play spaces

23. Improvements to playspaces at the following parks will address network gaps in play and age group provision, meet the recreational demands of population growth and can be incorporated into the local board work programme over time.

Table 1: Priority playspaces

Park name	Play improvement opportunity
Clendon Community Centre Reserve	Recommended upgrade to a suburb playspace with a senior and youth age group focus, with supplementary early childhood and junior age group standard play and specialised (nature play, splash pad) experiences.
Manu-pukatea - Felicia Park	Recommended upgrade to a suburb playspace in the vicinity of the Rata Vine open space development to support significant residential growth.
Rowandale Reserve	Recommended upgrade to a suburb playspace to address gaps in specialised provision within Homai.
Tairanga-Tington Park	Recommended upgrade to a suburb playspace to address gaps in specialised provision within Wattle Downs.
Totara Park 2 (Childrens Neighbourhood Park)	Recommended upgrade to a suburb playspace in close proximity to existing park amenities and complementing a new neighbourhood play space at Peretao Rise Reserve.

New playspaces

24. There are several small gaps in play space provision at a neighbourhood level in several areas of Manurewa. While these gaps are not significant, the following sites have been identified as future playspace development opportunities that would fill geographic gaps and address growth, as and when funding becomes available.

Table 2: New playspaces

Park name	Play space provision
Greenmeadows Reserve, Manurewa East	A new neighbourhood playspace.
11 Iwinuku Crescent, Wattle Downs	A new neighbourhood playspace.
Carnoustie Drive Foreshore, Wattle Downs	A new neighbourhood playspace.
Mountfort Park	An additional neighbourhood play space on Sykes Road adjacent to the Kohanga Reo, and close to the pool and leisure centre with complementary provision to the existing Mountfort Park play space.
Peretao Rise Reserve, The Gardens	A new neighbourhood playspace.
47 Scotts Road, Manurewa East	A new 3 x 3 basketball half court.
Future public open space within the Wirihana residential development	A new neighbourhood playspace.

Optimisation

25. Optimisation is also presented as a concept in the analysis, where service provision can be significantly lifted at a site without need for board discretionary capex investment. This opportunity is enabled by combining renewal funds from two individual neighbourhood playgrounds in close proximity (400-600m catchment) to create a suburb playspace (1000 – 1500m catchment). One of the playgrounds would be decommissioned to enable the expansion of the other. This would result in broader play experiences across a wider age range for the community.

26. Staff will present optimisation opportunities for the board’s consideration as and when they arise through the renewals planning process.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

27. There is scope to reduce the impact of climate change through the delivery of the report findings by using sustainable construction material and practices. Selection of locally sourced, hard-wearing material will help reduce carbon production and extend the working life of the asset.

28. Investing in playgrounds that are located in densely populated residential catchments, and that have good public transport and active transport connections, will help reduce carbon emissions.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

29. The 2022-2024 Manurewa Local Board Parks and Community Facilities (P&CF) work programme identifies Rowandale Reserve and Tington Park for renewal and upgrade which reflects the Play Network Gap Analysis recommendations.

30. The Manurewa Local Board Play Network Gap Analysis will be used by P&CF to assist in the planning and delivery of renewed play spaces, reflecting the gaps in provision outlined in the document. The local board may, at its discretion, provide LDI capex funding to address gaps in provision through a top-up of the renewal budget.

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

Local impacts and local board views

31. The Manurewa Local Board provided feedback on the draft Play Network Gap Analysis at a June 2023 workshop including;

· support to improve the network specifically for accessible and youth play provision and

· did not support using the optimisation process (the sale of one facility to fund improvements to another facility) as a lever/mechanism for delivering an enhanced play network.

32. The assessment will support the delivery of the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020 objective, “Our people enjoy a choice of quality community spaces and use them often.”

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

33. Parks and reserves are taonga and hold significant importance to mana whenua. Developing a network of playgrounds that provide for all ages and abilities will positively benefit the health and wellbeing of mana whenua and the wider community through increased recreation provision.

34. Partnering with mana whenua will enable delivery of the following environmental outcome identified in the Schedule of Issues of Significance 2021 – 2025 document: ‘Māori cultural values, history and heritage are reflected within the built environment through design, architecture and the inclusion of uniquely Māori design principles in public space’.

35. Mana whenua consultation will occur as part of the investigation and design process for each individual play renewal or development project.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

36. The Play Network Gap Analysis document will ensure that limited investment funds are directed to areas of greatest need and where community outcomes will be optimal.

37. The document findings will primarily inform renewals projects. However, they will also inform prudent investment decisions as and when discretionary board, or growth funding becomes available.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

38. Adoption of the Manurewa Local Board Play Network Gap Analysis may raise community expectations that the local board will fund development of priority playgrounds. Identified gaps in playspace provision may also in some instances rely on being addressed through LDI capex investment top up.

39. The document will ensure a considered, strategic and objective approach is taken by the board regarding investment in play across the Manurewa Local Board area. It also informs staff when planning the renewals programme and development contribution investment.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

40. The local board can use the Manurewa Local Board Play Network Gap Analysis as the guiding document to inform decision making on playspace development priorities and location provision from a network perspective.

Funding Auckland's Storm Recovery and Resilience

File No.: CP2023/13440

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To provide local boards with an opportunity to provide input regarding the funding package that has been provisionally agreed with central government.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. Seven months on from severe weather events in January and February 2023, many Aucklanders with impacted homes are still facing a challenging and uncertain future.

3. Auckland Council has worked with central government to secure a funding package that would enable people in the region to move forward with certainty, as quickly as possible.

4. The proposed funding package includes just under $2 billion of investment in storm recovery efforts for three key activities:

· repairing storm damage to the transport network

· Making Space for Water (the council’s flood mitigation programme) and other resilience projects

· Category 3 property buyouts.

5. If we do not accept the funding package, we will still need to fund the necessary infrastructure improvements but would not be in a position to buy out Category 3 homes.

6. Public consultation is underway from 11-24 September.

7. Local board feedback will be provided to the Governing Body along with public feedback ahead of its decision-making on 6 October 2023.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that input is being sought from local boards at the same time as public consultation due to the very tight timelines involved and the need to provide certainty for impacted Aucklanders

b) whakarite / provide feedback on whether the local board supports Auckland Council agreeing to the funding package

c) whakarite / provide feedback on features of the package that you would like to comment on

d) whakarite / provide feedback on the design of the Category 3 buyout process.

Horopaki

Context

8. Severe weather events in January and February 2023 have had a devastating and lasting impact on many communities and thousands of individuals across Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland. Flooding and land slips have damaged or destroyed thousands of homes and up-ended lives and communities. Essential lifeline infrastructure and facilities have been impacted and are in urgent need of repair. This includes roads, bridges, stormwater systems and community facilities.

9. Seven months on, many Aucklanders with impacted homes are still facing a challenging and uncertain future. We need to support these Aucklanders and improve the resilience of our infrastructure so that we are better prepared and can mitigate the impacts of severe weather events.

10. Auckland Council has worked with central government to secure a funding package that would enable people in the region to move forward with certainty, as quickly as possible.

11. To achieve all the outcomes of the package the government would provide just under $1.1 billion of new and reprioritised existing funding, with the council investing around $900 million. This is the same “locally-led, centrally-supported” approach that has been taken with other regions affected by the January and February storm events, just at a larger scale. It is different from the Christchurch earthquake recovery, where central government funded all the purchase of properties.

12. As a locally-led effort, Auckland Council is expected to take the lead on the design and implementation of any package. This means we have a number of detailed decisions to make as part of our main decision whether to proceed with the co-funded package.

13. Public consultation is taking place from 11-24 September. Details can be found at https://akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/recoveryfunding

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

14. The proposed funding package includes just under $2 billion of investment in storm recovery efforts for three key activities, as outlined in Table 1 below.

Table 1: Proposed central government and Auckland Council contribution to recovery

	Central government funding	Auckland Council funding	Total
Transport network recovery	$309 million	$81 million	$390 million
Making space for water and other resilience projects	$380 million	$440 million	$820 million
Category 3 home buy-outs	$387 million	$387 million	$774 million
Total	$1,076 million	$908 million	$1,984 million

Transport network recovery

15. Auckland Council is projecting that $390 million will be needed to make repairs to roads and bridges that were damaged by the severe weather. This includes the Mill Flat Road bridge, access to Karekare and Piha, and a number of roads in the west, the north and on Aotea / Great Barrier Island that were significantly damaged. The funding would ensure that repairs can be undertaken with greater certainty.

Making Space for Water and other resilience projects

16. A critical part of recovery is making sure we are better prepared for future severe weather. Improving resilience is essential to provide security for those who will continue to live in hazard-prone areas. This includes the flood risk management projects such as those that we have outlined in the Making Space for Water programme that we consulted on last month.

17. This programme would allow us to create new ‘blue-green networks’ in areas with critical flood risks, and to rehabilitate streams so that they are more resilient to floods. We would be able to increase our stormwater maintenance and overland flow path management.

18. This portion of the funding package could also be used for other resilience projects, such as community based geotechnical projects where risks can be mitigated. Importantly, the funding package would allow us to move more quickly with our efforts to build resilience.

Category 3 property buy-outs

19. Homes in Category 3 are not safe to live in because the risk from future flooding or landslips is intolerably high. Options to reduce this risk at a property or community level are not available or affordable. Homes in these areas should not be rebuilt or remain on their current sites.

20. Central government’s co-funding conditions for Category 3 properties are that they must be:

· residential

· impacted by the severe weather events of January and February 2023

· subject to ongoing intolerable risk to life, and

· without an economic way to mitigate the risk.

21. The proposed funding package would provide up to $774 million to buy Category 3 homes and allow people affected by the January and February severe weather events to move on with their lives. The funding for this would be split evenly between Auckland Council and central government.

22. The $774 million is based on current estimates of around 700 homes to be included in this category. If this maximum amount is exceeded, central government and the council have agreed to work together in good faith to decide next steps.

23. Auckland Council would need to administer the buy-out process from start to finish, including the purchase and removal of homes, and the ongoing management of the land. We know that there would be extra costs that wouldn’t be fully co-funded through the proposed funding package, including the costs of demolishing buildings, and any costs arising from the ongoing management of the land. We will also need to consider how we best make use of the newly acquired land, for example public parks and blue-green networks.

24. We need to make some decisions about how the buy-out process would work, including the price we pay for Category 3 houses, how this works with insurance, and any conditions (e.g. price caps or exclusions) that might need to be put in place. Given the complexity of the task, we are proposing to take an approach where we work towards decisions that are simple, fair, cost-effective, timely, and give certainty to affected Aucklanders.

Accepting the funding package

25. If Auckland Council accepts the funding package:

· We will receive additional government funding to accelerate our efforts to increase the resilience of our infrastructure.

· We can get on with making improvements that would otherwise take decades to achieve.

· We can offer a process forward for Category 3 property owners.

· We will need to find extra revenue to meet the council funding commitment.

26. If Auckland Council does not accept the funding package:

· We won’t receive all the proposed funding from central government, although we could still anticipate receiving some of the transport funding in the normal way, and could apply to the National Resilience Plan for further funding without a guarantee of our applications being successful.

· We will still need to fund the necessary infrastructure improvements and may need to take longer to do this using the available council funding methods.

· We won’t be in a position to buy out Category 3 homes: some property owners would face severe hardship and people would remain at risk.

27. Accepting the funding package would be a significant step in the recovery process. We acknowledge that recovery is not happening as quickly as affected communities would like. There is a difficult balance between moving quickly and moving accurately, especially with so many thousands of potentially affected homes needing individual technical assessments. It’s important that everyone can have confidence in the information and evidence available so that we can make robust, defensible and enduring decisions.

28. We also need to balance the needs of impacted homeowners with the needs of the wider community and consider the affordability and hazard management impacts for all Aucklanders.

Methodology of Category 3 buy-outs

29. If we go ahead with the funding package, the details of the purchase methodology for Category 3 properties would need to be determined, and would have a strong influence on how simple, fair, cost-effective and timely our process could be, and how much certainty we could offer affected homeowners.

30. Some of the policy details we need to consider include:

· How we define Category 3 residential properties. We need to consider whether we should make different provisions for holiday homes and rentals that are assessed as being in Category 3, compared to primary residences. We will not be purchasing non-residential properties.

· How we set the buy-out price. If our starting point is to take a ‘fair value’ approach, we need to decide how we assess that. Using capital value (the valuation that helps us to assess rates bills) would be the quickest option but wouldn’t necessarily reflect the true market value of every individual house. Establishing market value would be a much slower option: it could delay the process and would add further administrative costs. We could adopt a hybrid approach that gets most of the money to homeowners sooner and allows the balance to be resolved through valuation. Other alternatives would be to offer a fixed sum to all Category 3 homeowners or establish a sliding scale of payment based on hardship.

· The size of owner contributions. Like all investments, property ownership carries risks. Aucklanders, through Auckland Council, do not guarantee owners against loss. Auckland Council will need to consider whether to offer 100% of the value of the property, or a lesser amount, provided we can meet our objective of removing people from situations of intolerable risk. This could take the form of a cap on buy-out offers above a certain amount.

· What we do about insurance settlements, and uninsured and underinsured properties. Government and council contributions are intended to ‘top up’ rather than replace any amounts received through private insurance or EQC (Earthquake Commission). We still need to decide how this would work in practice. We also need to determine a fair outcome both for homeowners and for the Aucklanders who will have to fund buy-outs. This will mean we need to consider if Aucklanders who had no insurance or limited insurance should receive more, less or the same as other Category 3 homeowners.

Climate impact statement

31. The response that is being proposed in this funding package is a one-off, made necessary by the urgent and extraordinary scale of events.

32. As climate change increases the risk of severe weather events, Auckland Council will not be in a position to continue to buy out other flood- and slip-affected homes. We are working to improve public awareness of hazards, so that Aucklanders are better able to manage their risks. We are also reviewing our approach to the planning and development of homes in areas with natural hazards, however the impact of this is confined largely to new development, and doesn’t address the legacy of thousands of homes that are already built in higher-risk areas.

33. We are strongly advocating to central government to establish a national scheme to support recovery from future events, and to put in place better processes for managed retreat in advance of disaster.

34. Both the Auckland Plan 2050 and Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan advocate for greater resilience to severe storms and flood events. A key principle of the proposed Tāmaki Makaurau Recovery Plan is ‘Opportunities to build resilience and avoid future harm are sought proactively’.

35. The funding received from central government for Making Space for Water and other resilience projects will enable Auckland Council to implement the initiatives within these plans in a way that both builds resilience to the impacts of climate change, and has a lower carbon impact than the solutions that have historically been utilised.

Council group impacts and views

36. The Recovery Office is working with Legal, Finance, the Chief Planning Office and the Mayoral Office to consider the approach set out by the Crown, the implications for council, and the appropriate parameters for council’s actions at each stage of the negotiations and potential implementation process. The Executive Leadership Team sub-group also spans the relevant parts of the council that are necessary to input and/or be involved in this process.

Local impacts and local board views

37. During August, local boards and local communities provided feedback on the draft Tāmaki Makaurau Recovery Plan, which will inform how government funding for infrastructure will be allocated. Staff are currently analysing the feedback to inform the final content of the Plan.

38. This report provides the opportunity for local boards to give feedback specifically on the funding agreement that has been agreed in-principle with central government.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

39. The Recovery Office is engaging with mana whenua representatives to discuss the Tāmaki Makaurau Recovery Plan. Meetings are underway and will continue throughout September. These meetings also provide opportunity to discuss the government funding package.

Financial implications

40. Auckland’s recovery from the severe weather events of early 2023 is going to require significant investment, with or without central government co-funding. The proposed package increases the total investment into Auckland, with over $1 billion in new and reprioritised central government funding.

41. Significant funding from Auckland Council would still be required to deliver on the activities described in this package.

42. If we agree to proceed with the funding package, we would initially use borrowing to fund Auckland’s share of the proposal, until we can make more considered funding decisions in the next long-term plan. This is due to be consulted on in early 2024.

43. Using borrowing in the short term would mean we could get the infrastructure repairs and the Category 3 buy-out process moving quickly.

44. Based on initial timing projections the additional council debt required is likely to peak at $650 million. This would increase the debt-to-revenue ratio by 7 – 9 per cent over the next five to seven years, remaining within current debt limits.

45. The council has a number of options to fund the proposed package in the long-term plan, including reducing or deferring other capital spending, sale of assets, service reductions, and rates. These decisions may also be impacted by the outcomes of the government’s water reform process.

46. If the council were to proceed with the full proposed programme and fund it using only rates, then this would require an additional rates increase equivalent to 3.1 per cent of general rates, which could be phased in over two years. Any rates increase would be on top of other significant budget pressures the council is facing. Current indications suggest overall rates increases of over 10 per cent for 2024/2025 for residential ratepayers, if cost reductions or funding sources are not found.

Risks and mitigations

47. Risks and mitigations with the Crown offer process are identified in Table 2.

Table 2. Risks and mitigations with the Crown offer process

Risk	Mitigations
More than 700 properties are identified as category 3.	Good faith commitment with the Crown to develop a joint response if this situation arises.
Eligibility criteria for the National Resilience Plan have not yet been defined, meaning there is a risk to accessing the pre-committed funding for resilience	Address within terms of the agreement
Significant additional funding required from Auckland Council	An existing risk that will need to be addressed in the Long-term Plan 2024-2034, regardless of the Crown offer.
Terms of the Crown offer do not adequately provide for the complexity of the council processes needed to undertake buy outs.	Policy and legal analysis is underway to consider the implications of the terms of the agreement, to be reported to the Governing Body.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

48. Technical assessment of affected homes and remediation of damaged infrastructure will continue throughout the decision-making process.

49. Public consultation is underway from 11-24 September.

50. The Governing Body will meet on 6 October to consider input from local boards and feedback from public consultation and will decide whether to agree to the proposed funding package.

51. If the package is agreed, the council will begin conversations with confirmed Category 3 home-owners at the end of October.

52. From November, voluntary buy-outs for Category 3 properties will begin, as technical assessments are confirmed.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Emergency Management Bill

8. The Emergency Management Bill updates the emergency management system to improve performance, modernise the current legislative and regulatory framework, and acknowledge the importance of community resilience and preparedness. The Bill builds on the CDEM Act and:

· restructures the Bill to a more modern approach

· includes current provisions with minor amendment

· introduces new language and terminology, as a consequence of the shift from ‘Civil Defence Emergency Management’ to ‘Emergency Management’

· introduces more significant change consistent with the Technical Advisory Group’s recommendations and the government’s response.

A more modern Bill

9. The Bill is structured with parts and sub-parts (some accompanied with outlines of their contents) and makes extensive use of headings. Some sections of the CDEM Act are moved to the Schedules of the Emergency Management Bill.

Current provisions minorly amended

10. Much of the current CDEM Act is carried over with minor amendment. The placement of these clauses within the Bill’s structure means provisions carried over may be placed in a different order than they appeared in the CDEM Act.

Language and terminology

11. Changes to language and terminology appear throughout the Bill including:

New terminology	Outgoing terminology
Emergency Management	Civil Defence Emergency Management
Emergency Management Committee	Civil Defence Emergency Management Committee
Emergency Management Committee Plan	Civil Defence Emergency Management Committee Group Plan
Coordinating Executive	Coordinating Executive Group
Area Controller	Group Controller
Area Recovery Manager	Group Recovery Manager
emergency designation	a state of emergency or a transition period

More significant changes

12. The more significant changes introduced by the Bill are summarised briefly below, and in more detail in Attachment A.

Greater recognition of the role of Māori and enhancing Māori participation

13. The role of iwi and Māori has been increasingly recognised in the practice of emergency management since the Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes. The Bill recognises the role of iwi and Māori in emergency management at all levels, through representation, requiring each committee to improve its capability and capacity to engage with iwi and Māori, and making involvement consistent nationally.

Changes to the requirements regarding the Emergency Management Committee Plan (currently the Group Plan)

14. Emergency Management Committees will need to engage with representatives of disproportionately impacted communities (such as seniors and the disabled), iwi and Māori, and other people or groups as appropriate, before it approves a Plan. This is to encourage more proactive engagement with communities as a part of Plan development.

Critical infrastructure

15. New requirements are introduced in addition to changing the terminology from ‘lifeline utilities’ to ‘critical infrastructure’ entities/sector. The requirement to share information is made explicit for the purpose of the Bill. A new requirement to develop and publish the planned level of service during emergencies is introduced.

16. The provisions in the Bill are part of a wider policy development programme to develop a more resilient model led by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, that recognises a broader range:

· of infrastructure (i.e. banks)

· of potential threats (i.e. cyberattack)

· and their dependencies and interdependencies.

The role of Emergency Management Committees compared to the functions and duties of local authority members of Emergency Management Committees

17. The Bill clarifies the different roles of Emergency Management Committees and local authorities. Some new requirements are added, and business continuity is provided for separately. The provisions are expressed in similar terms although the function and duties of local authorities are more oriented towards action.

Changes regarding emergency designation - State of Emergency and Notice of Transition Period

18. The term ‘emergency designation’ is introduced, meaning either a state of emergency or notice of transition. The Bill also requires the appointment of people able to declare a state of emergency or give a notice of transition period from the representatives on the Emergency Management Committee.

Regulations and Director’s rule-making powers

19. The Bill expands the range of matters regulations can be made for, including operational matters, infringement offences and breaches of rules. A new power is granted to the Director of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to make rules regarding roles and responsibilities in specific situations, technical standards, training, qualifications and other matters.

Infringements

20. The Bill sets up a framework for issuing, serving and payment of infringement notices for offences made under the regulation making powers of the Bill, for the purposes of the Bill.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

21. The definition of emergencies in the CDEM Act and the Bill includes naturally occurring emergencies such as severe weather and drought. It is widely anticipated that these types of emergencies will become more frequent and severe as a consequence of Climate Change.

22. The Bill updates the regulatory framework under the CDEM Act. Under the framework emergency management comprises the four R’s - Reduction, Readiness, Response and Recovery. Emergency management practice seeks to:

· reduce the risk from emergencies

· raise awareness of and preparedness for emergencies

· provide a platform for effective response to and recovery from emergencies.

23. The changes signalled by the Bill will be complemented by the review of the National Emergency Management Plan, the roadmap for the implementation of the National Disaster Resilience Strategy and the wider policy work related to infrastructure.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

24. The Bill and proposed changes to the framework for emergency management has implications across the Auckland Council group, due to our obligations as:

· managers of critical infrastructure

· providers of key information during emergencies

· potential staff to be redirected to support response and recovery activities.

25. Auckland Emergency Management is working with various parts of Auckland Council and CCO’s including Auckland Plan Strategy and Research, Healthy Waters, Local Board Services, Ngā Matarae, Auckland Transport and Watercare on the development of the submission to the Bill.

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

Local impacts and local board views

26. This report requests input from local boards into the development of the Civil Defence Emergency Management Committee’s submission on the Bill.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

27. There is a high level of interest amongst iwi and Māori. NEMA has held several national hui. Similarly, engagement with marae and related discussions indicate an awareness and interest.

28. We have written to iwi and Māori to encourage them to both make their own submission on the Bill and provide comment or feedback that can be reflected in the development of Auckland Council’s submission. If there is interest, a hui on this topic may be held.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

29. The changes signalled in the Bill will require amended or additional processes and practices and introduce additional cost across the emergency management system, it is uncertain when they will arise.

30. It is also unclear how such costs will fall between participating Emergency Management Committees, local authorities, ratepayers, critical infrastructure entities and sectors, their shareholders and consumers. There may also be implications for capacity amongst participants across the emergency management system, critical infrastructure entities and sectors.

31. The full financial and resource implications may not be known until the Bill is enacted, the National Emergency Management Plan reviewed, the roadmap for the implementation of the National Disaster Resilience Strategy completed and critical infrastructure policy confirmed. These programmes will be subject to the decision-making of the government to be formed after the General Election in October 2023.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

32. The general direction of policy on which the Bill is based has been signalled for some time. The submission process is the most effective means of managing risk of unfavourable change.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

33. A workshop of the Civil Defence Emergency Management Committee to consider the recommendations of the draft submission is scheduled for 18 October 2023. Materials will be circulated to Committee members in preparation for the workshop.
