Shoreline Adaptation Plan Programme: Manukau Harbour East Report

File No.: CP2024/10112

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek local board ohia/endorsement for the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan (Attachment A).

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. Shoreline adaptation plans (SAP) are being developed across Auckland to provide a long-term adaptation strategy for council-owned land and assets in response to the impacts of coastal hazards and climate change (including sea-level rise).

3. Development of shoreline adaptation plans for Manukau Harbour North, Pahurehure Inlet and Manukau Harbour East (this report) are being undertaken in parallel (referred to as Tranche 1). This tranche will complete shoreline adaptation planning for the Manukau Harbour.

4. Mana Whenua engagement included: Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua, Ngāti Tamaoho, Te Ahiwaru, Te Ākitai Waiohua, Ngāti Whātua Orākei, Waikato Tainui and Ngaati Whanaunga. The values of mana whenua and local iwi have been applied through the selection of adaptation strategies and development of the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan (Manukau Harbour East SAP) and will continue through implementation.

5. Engagement with the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board was initiated in March 2023. Over the course of the development of the Manukau Harbour East SAP the local board supported engagement activities and provided feedback which has informed further refinement of coastal strategies.

6. Community engagement for the Manukau Harbour East SAP in Tranche 1 was run in parallel with Pahurehure Inlet and Manukau Harbour North shoreline adaptation plans between June–August 2023. Community engagement included a range of digital and in-person events to identify community use and values from which objectives for each shoreline adaptation plan were developed.

7. The Manukau Harbour East SAP (Attachment 1) includes adaptation strategies for each ‘stretch’ of shoreline, which provide guidance on how council-owned land and assets can be adapted over time to sustainably manage the escalating impacts of coastal hazards and climate change.

8. The result of the development of these strategies has identified hold the line, within the Manukau Harbour East SAP as the adaptation strategy for the majority of Units 8 and 9 which includes northern Māngere inlet and Onehunga foreshore areas (figures 1 and 2 below). This is reflective of the highly modified shoreline and the location of significant council owned infrastructure such as the Onehunga Wharf, Southdown waterfront pathway and areas of historic closed landfill.

9. To support ecological outcomes (holding cultural and social values) limited intervention is identified for council owned land and assets at Anns Creek and Taumanu Reserve. And in the longer-term, managed retreat is identified for the Onehunga Lagoon within the Onehunga Bay Reserve. This is to ensure that community activities are suitably located away from hazard areas to ensure they remain safe and functional.

10. The strategies selected in the shoreline adaptation plans do not commit council to any additional investment and no financial investment decisions have been made at this time.

11. The shoreline adaptation plans will be integrated into relevant council plans including asset management plans that help to inform appropriate maintenance. This also includes local implementation of capital works under the Coastal Asset renewals works programme.

12. Staff recommend that that the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board endorse the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan, as a guiding document to manage and adapt council-owned land and assets to the impacts of coastal hazards and climate change over time.

13. Following endorsement from the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board (along with Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board and Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board), the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan will be presented to the Planning, Environment and Parks Committee for approval in October/November 2024.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) ohia / endorse the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan (Attachment A)

Horopaki

Context

14. The Coastal Management Framework adopted by the council in 2017 (ENV/2017/116) set the direction for a regionwide shoreline adaptation plan (SAP) programme and responds to the priority area in Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan, that “communities and individuals are prepared for our changing climate and coastline”.

15. The SAP work programme is focused on how we manage and adapt Auckland Council-owned land and assets to the impacts of coastal hazards and climate change over time. The SAPs are non-statutory living plans which guide asset management planning and decision making.

16. Shoreline adaptation plans are being developed across twenty areas for Tāmaki Makaurau. The development of shoreline adaptation plans will be completed in mid-2025.

17. As SAPs are developed and approved they are added to the Auckland Design Manual and the Auckland Council website.

18. Once the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan (Manukau Harbour East SAP) has been endorsed by the associated local boards (Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, Ōtara-Papatoetoe, Māngere-Ōtāhuhu), staff will present the Manukau Harbour East SAP to the Planning, Environment and Parks Committee for approval in October/November 2024. Local implementation will commence as soon as each individual plan is approved. This is detailed for the Manukau Harbour East SAP below in next steps.

19. As SAP plans are approved, they will inform regional prioritisation and funding of implementation actions which are funded to commence across the Auckland region in 2025. This presents an opportunity for iwi and other programme partners to collaborate in their implementation.

20. Development of the Manukau Harbour East SAP has included engagement with ngā hapū me ngā iwi o Tāmaki Makaurau, the nineteen iwi of Tāmaki Makaurau and recognises that each iwi is wholly autonomous, individual and unique. Engagement also included the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board, local community and relevant infrastructure providers such as Auckland Transport and Watercare Services. This engagement identified specific values and objectives alongside the coastal hazard’s exposure assessment and advice from asset owners, from which objectives are used to determine shoreline adaptation strategies.

21. The strategies provide high-level guidance on how council-owned land and assets located in coastal areas can be adapted over time to sustainably manage the escalating impacts of coastal hazards and climate change. The strategies are covered in Table 1.

Table 1. Adaptation strategy descriptions

Adaptation strategy	Description of the strategy
Limited intervention	Maintain and making safe · Works may be undertaken to repair existing protection structures for the purpose of extending the asset’s life. · Works may support moving back the coastal edge (seawalls) and council owned assets, such as playgrounds, pathways and amenities. · Does not support keeping the coastline in fixed position.
No active intervention	· Natural processes are allowed to continue. · No investment in the provision or maintenance of any hazard protection structures associated with coastal hazards and flood protection (does not apply to the management of land stability or subsidence or other man-made hazard risk management). · This strategy is identified for areas of the coastline where council-owned land and assets are not exposed/vulnerable to coastal hazard and catchment flooding risk.
Hold the line	The coastal edge is fixed at a certain location · Defence of the coastal edge may be through nature-based options (for example beach nourishment) or engineered hard structures (for example sea walls). · Nature-based options preferred, if possible, but in most cases engineered hard structures would be required. · An identified use or service is maintained within its existing location, for example a road or parks’ land uses. · Could result in losing intertidal areas or beach space due to preventing a landward realignment of the coast in response to sea level rise.
Managed retreat	Assets and land uses are relocated or realigned · Relocation or realignment from hazard-prone areas to reduce risk to assets and maintain identified values (including ecological, cultural and recreational). · Relocation is planned and undertaken proactively over time. · Planning to retreat or relocate assets and land uses are responsive to community, cultural and ecological opportunities needs and aspirations. · Supports opportunity for nature-based solutions, and maintenance of coastal values.

22. The process of developing the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan and resulting recommendations are further discussed below.

Analysis and advice

23. The Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan includes the area of the coastline from the Puhinui Creek in the south culminating at Taumana Reserve in the north. The areas of the coast or ‘units’ which are located within the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board’s area are identified as units 8 and 9 in Figure 1 and 2 below.

Figure 1 and 2 (right). Unit 8 and 9 located within the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan area

24. Research and analysis were undertaken to inform an understanding of coastal processes, coastal hazards and the resulting risk to council-owned land and assets, along with identified ecological, cultural and historic heritage assets. This assessment influences the selection of adaptation strategies and include the following key findings.

· There are existing, reclaimed shorelines which are armoured or engineered to mitigate the impacts of coastal erosion, such as groynes and rock revetment. This includes the Māngere Harbour crossing approaches, northern shoreline of the Māngere Inlet and Onehunga Bay shorelines (as identified in figure 1 and 2 above).

· The Onehunga shoreline has been reclaimed to create a series of constructed headlands and beaches along the perimeter of Taumanu Reserve. These beaches require ongoing monitoring and occasional sand transfer to maintain an effective beach buffer. These areas provide for recreational amenity as well as habitat for coastal birds.

· Coastal inundation hazards have the potential to impact a considerable area of the Manukau east shoreline. In low-lying areas, such as the Onehunga Port, Te Hopua a Rangi crater, Onehunga Lagoon and Southdown (Anns Creek), the coastal inundation hazard is predicted to worsen over time in frequency and magnitude as sea-level rises, refer to Figure 3 and 4 below.

· Coastal waters enter the Onehunga Lagoon, located within the Onehunga Bay Reserve, through tidal gates (with an associated seawall). The tidal gates provide for the management of tidal flows, and retention of these flows allows for recreational water-based activities within the Onehunga lagoon.

Adaptation strategies support ecological outcomes

25. An assessment of available information was undertaken to identify important ecological features and opportunities within the selection of adaptation strategies. The Manukau Harbour catchment has undergone significant modification and changes in landcover over time which has resulted in a significant loss of native habitat and fragmentation. There are three key ecological sites of importance to the development of the adaptation strategies.

· Anns Creek located within the eastern section of stretch 24 (Unit 8) includes regionally unique ecological habitats in a mostly unmodified area of the Māngere inlet. These intertidal habitats support a high diversity of native saline vegetation and feeding environments for birds.

· Onehunga Te Papapa area is the Onehunga volcanic aquifer springs and freshwater catchments (refer to figure 4 below).

· Taumanu Reserve includes a recently restored shoreline to provide public access to the foreshore. The reserve includes rocky outcrops that provide roosting habitat for coastal bird species.

Social, policy and cultural context support adaptation selection

26. An analysis of the social, policy and cultural context of the Manukau Harbour East SAP was undertaken in early 2023. This informed the engagement planning for the Tranche 1 SAPs and provided important context for the selection of adaptation strategies. The development, change and use of the Manukau harbour east coastline include the following key elements.

· Traditional access to the coast, including the significant Te Tō Waka and Karetu Portage for iwi between the Manukau and Waitematā Harbours and key access for water-based activities such as waka ama. This access remains a priority for iwi and communities alike and contains the following features: (refer to section 3.0 in Attachment A).

o coastal access is predominantly concentrated in residential areas

o a coastal network for walking, running, and cycling via a network of paths and tracks, complements recreational opportunities

o key areas for recreation and coastal access within Units 8 and 9 (see figures 1 and 2 above) include the Taumanu Reserve and the Onehunga Lagoon.

· Significant alteration of the harbour from its natural state, particularly due to reclamation of land for railway and industrial uses (refer to section 2.0 and 3.0. in Attachment A).

o Unit 8 where active management of closed landfills is required and substantive reclamation of land has occurred through this historic process.

o Unit 9 also includes area of closed landfill at Gloucester Park.

· Social, cultural and ecological outcomes and values are associated with the Onehunga Wharf area, including a consideration of industrial port and marine activities, key roading, walking and cycling connections.

· Historic and speculative major infrastructure projects have occurred or are proposed in units 8 and 9, including the development of the state highway, light rail proposals, East West Link and speculation on future port activities. Such projects have the potential to substantively modify the shoreline in this area and the associated social, cultural and policy context.

· Historic and cultural significance to local iwi, includes the following key features. See section 5.0 Unit 9 of Attachment A for further kōrero.

o The area of Units 8 and 9 have been a place of intensive settlement since the first peoples of Te Ika a Maui. Its frontage to Te Manukanuka o Hoturoa / Manukau Harbour made it a hub for trade and travel throughout the region.

o Onehunga Beach provided an important waka landing place and the associated Onehunga papakāinga/settlement was one of the largest settlements in the district.

o It’s strategic location on the north-eastern shore of the Manukau Harbour, and proximity to Maungakiekie, Te Pane o Mataoho and Te Motu ā Hiaroa. The Manukau Harbour East SAP area includes the Te Tō Waka portage routes between the Tāmaki River and Manukau Harbour and the Karetu portage routes to the Waitematā Harbour via the Tāmaki River and Otāhuhu. The Te Tō Waka was first used by Hoturoa on the Tainui waka, which was the most frequently used portage in pre-European Aotearoa.

Local input into local issues

27. Community engagement informs the development of the shoreline adaptation plans by identifying how the community use and value their coastal areas.

28. The shoreline adaptation plan programme does not include consultation with the community on the selection of adaptive strategies.

29. Community engagement was delivered in person and digitally as follows.

· Tranche 1 SAPs ran in parallel and included a series of in-person, public out-reach events to inform people of the SAP programme and receive feedback. Public engagement was open from 23 June – 7 August 2023. Events were held at local venues as identified in Attachment A – section 4.1.

· Digital engagement for the Manukau Harbour East SAP was undertaken using Social Pinpoint, Engagement HQ and Have Your Say. Social Pinpoint, an online engagement platform provided 15 comments pinned to an interactive map for the Manukau Harbour East SAP. Engagement HQ received a total of 48 surveys. Feedback also included email submissions and direct discussion which was presented to the local board.

30. An analysis of the results was undertaken to develop high level community objectives for adaptation strategies and includes the following categories as outlined in Table 2. Engagement with local iwi and asset owners is captured separately and is discussed in further detail below.

Table 2. Community objectives for Manukau Harbour east (Also see 4.3 of Attachment A)

Community objectives: Manukau Harbour east
Coastal connections, use and access	1. The coastal walking, cycling, water sport and leisure networks within Manukau Harbour east are accessible for all coastal users, providing for current and future recreation and general wellbeing. 2. Community infrastructure supports intergenerational connection to the coast and connectivity between coastal areas for all coastal users.
Cultural	3. The cultural ties of coastal communities are preserved and enhanced through the protection of key cultural and historic areas, such as Puhinui Reserve, providing for a range of traditional and contemporary coastal uses.
Responding to risk	4. Efficient and robust adaptive plans support useable, resilient, safe and environmentally healthy coastal areas. 5. Coastal community facilities aim to support community resilience and recovery for all coastal users.
Environmental	6. Native species and the ecosystems that support them are safeguarded and prioritised alongside recreational enjoyment and cultural significance.

Developing the adaptation strategy for Manukau Harbour east

31. The Manukau Harbour east shoreline has been divided into several coastal units (see Attachment B), defined by the driving coastal processes and other key geographical features. Within those units, stretches have been developed to reflect the differing distribution of infrastructure and assets and the approach to management of these areas.

32. The following two units including seven stretches are located within the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area as identified in Table 3 (see Attachment B).

Table 3. Units and Stretches located with the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Boards Area

Stretch 26: Onehunga east of SH20 bridge

Stretch 27: Onehunga wharf

Stretch 28: Onehunga foreshore

Stretch 29: Taumanu

Stretch 30: Onehunga Bay

33. There are a notable number of stretches within the Manukau Harbour East SAP where hold the line is the preferred strategy over all timeframes. This is reflective of the highly modified shoreline and the location of significant council owned infrastructure. Hold the line also reflects iwi values and aspirations, the need to manage past land use decisions, asset owner requirements and community values and uses.

Adaptation strategies for the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area

34. The adaptation strategies for the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area are discussed by timeframe and are summarised as follows. (Refer to Section 5.0 of Attachment A.)

· Short term (next 20 years, refer to Figure 5)

o Hold the line is the recommended adaptive strategy in the short term due to the highly developed and modified nature of the coast. This is applicable to large areas within Unit 8 and 9 to maintain significant infrastructure and support an engineered (reclaimed) coastline. This includes areas of closed landfill, significant coastal walkways, coastal access points and areas of ecological value. The closed landfill assets located within the Manukau Harbour East SAP area are however subject to management through council’s Closed Landfill Asset Management Plan 2021. The selection of strategies has been reviewed by iwi and considered specifically in relation to their connection to the harbour and kaitiaki practices that protect and conserve the natural environment and the resources on which people depend. (Refer to section 3.4 of Attachment A.) This selection of strategies also aligns with the identified community objectives (see table 2 above) related to coastal connections, use and access.

Figure 5. Short term adaptation strategies by coastal stretch for Manukau Harbour east.

· Medium term (20-60 years, see Figure 6)

o Hold the line is maintained for much of Units 8 and 9.

o Limited intervention for Taumanu and Southdown/Anns Creek. Maintaining and upgrading existing defences is common in response to coastal erosion to retain the reclaimed coastal edge. Coastal inundation is identified as increasing in frequency and magnitude with anticipated sea-level rise, which may require in the medium term, re-consideration of the level of service of some coastal areas and accessways.

o Managed retreat is identified for Onehunga Bay Reserve, this is reflective of the low-lying nature of this catchment, the interface with catchment flooding and the need to respond to this increasing risk to council-owned land and assets. Managed retreat signals the need for proactive planning for useable, resilient safe coastal areas and is supported by the identified community objectives (see table 2 above).

Figure 6. Medium term adaptation strategies by coastal stretch for Manukau Harbour east

· Long term (60+ years, see Figure 7)

o Managed retreat continues to be identified for the Onehunga Lagoon located within Onehunga Bay Reserve.

o Strategies for other stretches remain the same in the long term, including continued defence of the coastline from coastal erosion hazard. However, there will be an increasing inundation risk to multiple locations within the Manukau Harbour east coastline which may in some instances necessitate adaptive measures and design and relocation of assets over the long term (60-100 years).

Figure 7. Long term adaptation strategies by coastal stretch, Manukau Harbour east

Cultural significance to iwi

35. Values identified by iwi in the development of Manukau Harbour East SAP include the need to restore and enhance many aspects of Te Manukanuka o Hoturoa. It is also noted that co-management agreements are in place for whenua (land) located within the wider Manukau Harbour east area (refer to 2.5.3 in Attachment A)

36. Engagement with iwi has been integral to the development of the Manukau Harbour East SAP and will remain ongoing. Further development of draft cultural statements, in response to the SAP programme, is anticipated to inform and support the implementation of the SAPs.

Request for local board endorsement

37. This Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan is community informed, incorporating proactive guidelines on managing coastal hazard impacts on local ecosystems, recreation and valued coastal connections, while being inclusive of Mana Whenua values and supporting the resilience of local communities.

38. Staff recommend that that the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board endorse the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan, as a guiding document to manage and adapt council-owned land and assets to the impacts of coastal hazards and climate change over time.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

39. The SAP work programme is funded as part of the council’s climate action package and is a core climate adaptation workstream. As global temperatures rise, Tāmaki Makaurau is predicted to experience between 0.6m and 1.5m of sea level rise by 2130, depending on the future CO2 emissions scenario. The impacts of climate change and sea-level rise are expected to increase the frequency, intensity and magnitude of natural hazards including coastal erosion, coastal inundation, and rainfall flooding.

40. To prepare for the future with climate change, we need to plan adaptively. Shoreline adaptation plans will help reduce asset exposure and signal the need to work with nature by developing natural systems (such as wide beaches, well vegetated dunes, and tidal marshes) that are more resilient to the impacts of climate change.

41. Shoreline adaptation plans assist in educating the public about the impacts of climate change and the need to adapt. Building awareness and signalling the need to be prepared for coastal hazard events is an important part of long-term resilience and preparedness. For that reason, shoreline adaptation plans report under the Community and Coast priority area of Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri – Auckland’s Climate Plan 2020.

42. The Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan outlines how council-owned land and assets can be managed to mitigate the impacts of coastal hazards and climate change. Implementation of the SAPs will increase resilience by reducing exposure and vulnerability of assets in hazards zones.

43. Greenhouse gas emissions are not directly considered within the SAPs, which focuses on the strategic goal of adapting the shoreline to build long-term resilience.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

44. Considering the broad extent of council-owned coastal land and assets and the non- statutory nature of the shoreline adaptation plans, implementation will be a collaborative effort across council departments. The project team has worked in partnership with relevant departments to co-develop the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan.

45. Shoreline adaptation plan strategies will be considered and integrated into all relevant council plans and documents including reserve management plans, regional parks management plans, open space network plans and asset management plans. This will support associated decision making, such as landowner and leasehold approvals.

46. Shoreline adaptation strategies will be integrated into all relevant council strategic and targeted asset management plans to inform appropriate outcomes in the maintenance and renewals work programmes. For example, assets that provide a coastal defence or amenity function will be considered through council’s coastal assets renewals programme.

47. The completion of the 20 shoreline adaptation plans will confirm regionally consistent themes, challenges and opportunities. This will inform the development of strategic recommendations around prioritisation, approach and funding decisions to support implementation.

Local impacts and local board views

48. Initial workshops with the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board commenced in March 2023, prior to the planning for community engagement. Follow-up workshops were held to provide an update on what was heard through community engagement in late 2023. In March 2024 workshops were held to seek feedback and direction on the development of adaptation strategies.

49. Through these interactions the board expressed an interest in the following matters:

· thorough engagement be undertaken with iwi partners

· that the values and interests of the communities were understood and considered in plan development. (Refer section 3.0 and 4.0 of Attachment A.)

50. The local board specifically identified the modified nature of the coastline because of past land use decisions, as a key consideration and factor in the development of shoreline adaptation plans. Refer section 5.0 Unit 8 of Attachment A.

51. Community objectives and area specific feedback were considered through the selection of adaptation strategies. These considerations are included at a unit level within the SAPs. These inclusions, along with the adaptation strategies will inform future projects in the shoreline area.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

52. From the programme’s inception in 2021, engagement and collaboration with ngā hapū me ngā iwi o Tāmaki Makaurau has sought to establish in partnership with Mana Whenua the creation and implementation of the SAP programme. The relevant programme principles which underpin this approach are included in Attachment A.

53. As an adaptation workstream within Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan, the SAPs seek to respect and acknowledge te ao Māori by giving effect to the Te Tirti o Waitangi, Kia Ora Tāmaki Makaurau and Te Ora ō Tāmaki Makaurau frameworks and recognising and providing for te ao Māori concepts.

54. It is noted that Treaty Settlement processes are ongoing, and it is important to recognise that there are unresolved claims and disputes between the Crown and iwi/hapū. This can result in iwi who have strong affiliation or whakapapa to an area not holding a Statutory Acknowledgement. However, the SAP programme includes all iwi who respond through the engagement programme, inclusive of iwi overlapping interests.

55. Of note for the development of this SAP is the Manukau Harbour Claim (Wai 08). In 1985, the Waitangi Tribunal reported on a claim on behalf of the people of the Manukau Harbour. It concerned pollution of seafood resources and loss of surrounding land via both crown confiscation after the New Zealand wars, and public works. This claim is integral in understanding the impact on the wellbeing of those iwi and hapu who live on and around the Manukau. This report is identified and discussed in further detail at section 3.3.1 in Attachment A.

56. The Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan area includes Te Tō Waka portage (between the Manukau and Waitematā harbours) which is of significance to Ngā hapū me ngā iwi o Tāmaki Makaurau. Multiple hui and several hikoi have been held to support the development of the Manukau Harbour East SAP alongside the other plans applicable to the Manukau Harbour. Those who iwi whakapapa to the area and/or expressed an interest in the Manukau Harbour East SAP kaupapa are:

· Ngaati Te Ata Waiohua	· Te Ākitai Waiohua	· Te Kawerau ā Maki
· Ngāti Tamaoho	· Te Ahiwaru	· Waikato Tainui
· Ngāi Tai Ki Tāmaki	· Ngāti Whātua Orākei	· Ngaati Whanaunga.

57. Through this engagement process, Auckland Council worked with representatives of the group to provide cultural statements and cultural commentary to help guide the adaptation approaches set out within this SAP. Acknowledging each iwi have their own kōrero and may choose to share this in a manner which protects each iwi intellectual property, the Manukau Harbour East SAP at attachment A (specifically section 3.0) includes content which iwi have approved to be included in this public document.

58. Further information may be included in cultural statements, to be held by iwi, which once finalised will inform implementation of the SAPs.

59. Engagement with the above iwi and ngā hapū me ngā iwi o Tāmaki Makaurau who express an interest, will continue throughout completion of the SAP programme and its implementation.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

60. Delivery of the shoreline adaptation plan work programme is regionally funded through the climate action package. No additional funding is sought from local boards to deliver the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan.

61. Mitigating coastal hazards will become increasingly expensive for Auckland and wider Aotearoa. It will not be affordable or feasible to defend everywhere. Shoreline adaptation plans and the supporting coastal asset management plan will ensure that coastal projects consider the escalating future risk of climate change and respond in both an environmentally and economically sustainable manner.

62. No financial investment decisions have been made through the Manukau Harbour East SAP. The adaptation strategies will be given effect to across relevant council decision-making. This includes the future management, maintenance and renewal of council assets and land located along the coast through existing work programmes and associated budgets. Over time, this will result in cost savings as assets are moved out of coastal hazard areas and incur less damage due to coastal erosion and flooding.

63. Once all shoreline adaptation plans across Auckland are completed, a regional funding prioritisation approach will be developed. The framework and process for undertaking this exercise will need to be agreed with the Governing Body. This will assist in budgetary requirements and support an equitable approach for areas where managed realignment or other major coastal works have been recommended.

Risks and mitigations

64. The risks and mitigations associated with the local boards endorsing the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan are outlined in Table 4 below:

Table 4: Risk identification and mitigations

Main risk	Mitigation
Coastal asset decisions are at risk of being made on an ad-hoc basis and may not adequately consider the escalating risk of climate change.	· Adopting the SAP for the Manukau Harbour east area will provide for future implementation of the plan. · Asset management across multiple asset classes will require multiple departments across council to continue to work together. · As a strategic document, the SAP provides a coordinated and holistic approach to council owned land and assets supporting, alongside other relevant council policies and regulatory mechanisms, the clear and consistent consideration of the escalating risk of climate change in relation to coastal hazards.
Potential opposition to the proposed adaptation strategies (noting a high level of public interest in council management of assets in response to climate change and natural hazard risk)	· The development of the SAPs has been undertaken in collaboration with local iwi and with extensive engagement with the local community, wider public and infrastructure providers. · These SAPs remain living documents, revisions to the SAP can be advanced to respond to further engagement with iwi, communities and in response to other programmes such as the Closed Landfill Asset Management Plan development.
Due to uncertainty in emission reductions, coastal hazards may increase in frequency and intensity earlier than expected.	· Shoreline Adaptation Plans have been developed using conservative climate change scenarios in the long term. · The SAPs are adaptive and advancement to the next timeframe can be considered ahead of the indicative timeframe identified (20/60/100 years).
As multiple teams are required to work together to implement the shoreline adaptation plan, there is potential that the SAP is not applied across all business areas.	· The project team have worked collaboratively with departments across council and Council Controlled Organisations to develop the SAP and will maintain relationships to support implementation. · A governance group oversees the development and implementation of the shoreline adaptation plan work program and also supports strategic relationships.

Next steps

65. Following endorsement from the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board, Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board and Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board, the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan will be presented to the Planning, Environment and Parks Committee for approval in late 2024.

66. Once approved, the Manukau Harbour East Shoreline Adaptation Plan will be released to the public and to stakeholders across Auckland Council. Local implementation will include capital works under the Coastal Asset Renewals Works Programme. The adaptation strategies will then be integrated into key council plans, such as asset management plans, and the Closed Landfill Asset Management Plan 2021.

67. Both the Harania and Te Ararata Making Space for Water catchments are located within the wider Manukau Harbour East SAP area and are funded projects starting in 2025 to respond to flood risk in these catchments.

68. Funded regional implementation will commence in 2025 once all shoreline adaptation plans are completed and will include continued opportunity for iwi and other programme partners to collaborate in the implementation of the shoreline adaptation plan programme.

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board

27 August 2024

Joint traffic bylaw review feedback report

File No.: CP2024/11640

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To receive feedback from local boards on the review of the joint Auckland Transport (AT) and Auckland Council (AC) traffic-related bylaws.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. Auckland Transport and Auckland Council both have powers to make traffic-related rules in Auckland.

3. The current rules are set out in several documents: Auckland Transport’s Traffic Bylaw 2012 (https://at.govt.nz/about-us/bylaws/traffic-bylaw-2012), Auckland Council’s Traffic Bylaw 2015 (https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/plans-projects-policies-reports-bylaws/bylaws/Pages/traffic-bylaw.aspx) and Public Safety and Nuisance Bylaw 2013 (covering use of vehicles on beaches) (https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/plans-projects-policies-reports-bylaws/bylaws/Pages/public-safety-nuisance-bylaw.aspx).

4. Auckland Transport and Auckland Council are conducting a review of these bylaws which has found that they are largely effective but that there could be efficiencies and improvements.

5. Auckland Transport seeks local board feedback on the proposed changes which will inform the proposals for future public consultation. Feedback is due by 19 September 2024.

6. After public consultation is completed, local boards will be provided with summaries of public feedback. Further feedback will be sought from local boards.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

a) whakarite / provide feedback on the proposed changes on the review of Auckland Transport (AT) and Auckland Council (AC) traffic-related bylaws outlined in Attachment A of the agenda report.

Horopaki

Context

Traffic bylaws

7. The use of Auckland’s road space, including some beaches and roads in parks, is regulated by national legislation (laws) and by local government rules through bylaws.

8. Both Auckland Transport and Auckland Council have powers to make traffic-related rules in Auckland. The current rules are contained across the following bylaws:

a) Auckland Transport Traffic Bylaw 2012 (covering the requirements for parking and control of traffic on roads under the care, control, or management of Auckland Transport).

b) Auckland Council Traffic Bylaw 2015 (covering traffic management in public places, like parks, beaches, off-street parking facilities (like libraries and community centres) and council-owned car parking buildings).

c) Auckland Council Public Safety and Nuisance Bylaw 2013 (covering use of vehicles on beaches).

9. Responsibilities for bylaws are allocated by control of the land. Auckland Transport’s rules apply to Auckland’s transport system, while Auckland Council’s rules apply to council-controlled land such as parks and beaches.

10. The bylaws provide a “framework” for regulating vehicle use, traffic and parking on Auckland’s transport system and on council-controlled land. This means that they enable activities like bus lanes to be created. However, the exact locations of the bus lanes are not in the bylaw but are set through resolutions, made later. This works well where there are location-specific needs that change over time.

11. Some topics in the bylaws are not site-specific. This is used where Auckland Transport want the same rule applied everywhere, and do not need a site-specific resolution for instance, to prohibit vehicles from being abandoned on roads or in public places.

Reviewing Auckland’s traffic bylaws

12. A joint review of Auckland’s traffic-related bylaws is being undertaken to ensure they continue to meet the needs of Aucklanders. For example, there have been changes in legislation and technology, and feedback from subject matter experts has indicated that there are things Auckland Transport can do to improve how we use bylaws.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

13. Auckland Transport subject matter experts will meet with and discuss the traffic bylaw review with the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki local board at a workshop on 6 August 2024.

14. Before that workshop, Auckland Transport and Auckland Council staff reviewed the bylaws across 18 different topics (listed in Attachment A) to identify if there were problems, whether the bylaws helped address those problems, and if there were any alternatives or improvements.

15. There were five possible options for each topic, which align with the statutory options to respond to the Bylaw review findings – retain, amend, replace and revoke. These are outlined in Attachment A.

16. Auckland Transport and Auckland Council advice to local boards can be summarised in the following set of key findings:

a) the current bylaws are generally effective, ensuring that Auckland’s land transport system connects people and places in a way that is safe, effective and efficient, and protects the environment

b) bylaws regulating vehicle use and parking controls by enabling controls to be set ‘if and where’ required to manage the use of the road space in Auckland have been particularly helpful (for example, to regulate the use of one-way streets, bus lanes and P60 parking spaces by resolution of a delegated authority) but could benefit from minor improvements

c) bylaws regulating vehicles on beaches and off-road parking could be improved to be more effective and efficient. For example, there are no infringement fines for vehicles on beaches and the process to enforce berm parking prohibitions is time consuming and costly

d) bylaws that regulate activities involving vehicles, machinery or equipment that is left, broken down, repaired, advertised or sold on roads or public places are not used. Additionally, reviewers found that other existing legislation and bylaws already address the problems better

e) a bylaw can no longer regulate new speed limits because speed management plans are required to be used instead

f) consideration should be given to the possible benefits of replacing the bylaws with a single bylaw made by both Auckland Transport and Auckland Council. While most of Auckland’s roads are the responsibility of Auckland Transport, the boundaries with Auckland Council controlled roads or public places can be indistinguishable.

17. The summary of the discussion and proposed changes are in Attachment A of this report.

18. At this stage of the review, Auckland Transport and Auckland Council have not finalised any final recommendations and therefore encourage local boards to provide feedback. This feedback will be incorporated in the proposals for the upcoming public consultation.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

19. Auckland Transport and Auckland Council both support the outcomes sought by the Auckland Plan 2050, the Te-Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan and other council climate priorities.

20. During the development of the bylaws, climate impacts were considered because effective bylaws are tool that helps give effect to these strategic directives, for instance:

a) parking restrictions regulated by bylaws can be used to provide clearways and bus lanes that allow for quicker and more reliable public transport

b) controlling vehicle access and use on beaches protects coastal biodiversity

c) the ability to control access by heavy vehicles to unsuitable residential roads or town centres helps to minimise carbon emissions by encouraging them to use arterial routes designed for these vehicles to use efficiently.

21. The bylaws are an ‘enabler’ for climate goals providing the regulatory tools required to enforce a variety of controls that contribute to climate change goals.

Council group impacts and views

22. This review is being conducted jointly by Auckland Transport and Auckland Council. Other Council Controlled Organisations provided staff to assist with the initial review to ensure that impacts and their views were considered.

23. The Regulatory and Community Safety Committee discussed the review with staff and endorsed the Findings Report at a meeting on 02 July 2024.

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

Local impacts and local board views

24. Auckland Transport are currently holding workshops with all local boards throughout the month of August. These workshops will provide local boards with an opportunity to receive quality advice about the review and its finding.

25. Further engagement with local boards will be conducted post-public consultation to enable local boards to provide feedback after consideration of the consultation data. The timeframe for this will be communicated later this year.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

26. Auckland Transport and Auckland Council are committed to meeting their responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its broader legal obligations in being more responsible or effective to Māori.

27. Auckland Transport’s Māori Responsiveness Plan outlines the commitment to 19 mana whenua 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. This plan is available on the Auckland Transport website - https://at.govt.nz/about-us/transport-plans-strategies/maori-responsiveness-plan/#about

28. Using this framework for discussion, Auckland Transport informed iwi about the review in November 2023. The initial engagement was followed by a series of hui in July and August 2024 at which staff provided details of the review.

29. Māori have been informed and provided with opportunities to engage with the review and after public engagement is finished will be engaged with again.

Financial implications

30. This decision has no financial implications for Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board because Auckland Transport funds all projects and programmes.

Risks and mitigations

31. The proposed decision does not carry specific risk for this local board. Bylaw application and enforcement is not a role of local boards and is not funded by local board budgets. This situation means that there is no legal or financial risk.

Next steps

32. Local board feedback is due by 19 September 2024. After receiving this report, Auckland Transport will review the formal feedback from all local boards.

34. The Governing Body and the AT Board will also review the bylaw review’s findings, options and recommendations and approve public engagement on 24 October 2024 and 29 October 2024, respectively.

35. After public engagement, further local board feedback will be sought. Timelines for this engagement will be communicated after the committee decisions later this year.

File No.: CP2024/11669

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek formal feedback from local boards on the initial representation review proposal.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The Governing Body resolved the representation review initial proposal on 27 June 2024 for public notification and consultation outlined in the body of this report and provided in Attachment A.

3. Feedback on Auckland Council’s representation review initial proposal for the 2025 elections was received between 8 July and 8 August 2024.

4. Due to the proximity of the closing date for public feedback (8 August) and local board business meeting dates, this report provides the high-level summary of key themes. The feedback analysis report produced by the Insights team will be provided separately prior to the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board business meeting.

5. At the time of writing this report, approximately 1050 submissions have been received. The final submission numbers will be communicated via the feedback analysis report.

6. Key themes included general support for the proposed changes in the central Auckland wards, North Shore wards, the Howick Local Board subdivision arrangements, and the minor local board boundary changes. Submissions on the proposed changes to the Rodney Local Board subdivisions raised a number of issues to be considered before the council adopts its final proposal.

7. The initial proposal includes minor changes to local board boundaries between the Puketāpapa and Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board areas. At a high level, feedback is generally in support of the proposed changes, with the majority of feedback indicating that the changes are minor and logical.

8. The initial proposal also contains a recommendation that the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board does not comply with the fairness of representation rule. At a high level, feedback is generally in support of the noncompliance, with the feedback supporting the reasons provided in the initial proposal.

9. The initial proposal further includes a realignment of the Central Auckland ward boundaries of Waitematā and Gulf, Ōrākei, Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, and Albert-Eden-Puketāpapa wards with local board boundaries. At a high level, feedback is generally in support of the proposed changes. Those in support generally feel the proposal will improve representation and those opposed generally feel the proposal will divide communities.

10. The next stage is for the Joint Governance Working Party (JGWP) to review this feedback through a hearings process, which will close with deliberations on whether to recommend any changes to the initial proposal to the Governing Body. The Governing Body will then decide the final proposal on 26 September 2024.

11. Local board chairs who are members of the JGWP are recommended to step aside from participating in decision-making of their board’s formal feedback to enable them to fully participate in the work of the hearings panel.

12. If the local board wishes to provide feedback that the initial proposal should be amended, it is important to include sufficient reasoning for the JGWP to recommend an amendment. The reasoning should be in line with the requirement to consider the effective representation of communities of interest and fair representation (the 10 percent rule).

14. The Governing Body confirmed the scope of the initial proposal for the 2025 representation review at its 30 May meeting before finalising and confirming the content of the associated public consultation material at its 27 June meeting. The proposal was publicly notified for feedback from 8 July to 8 August.

15. This report provides a summary of the key themes from feedback (including local board feedback, if made) and enables local boards to make a formal response to the initial proposal and other feedback via business meeting resolutions.

16. The Local Electoral Act 2001 requires the council to ensure that any person who makes a submission on the initial proposal is given a reasonable opportunity to be heard by the council.

17. The JGWP has been appointed as the panel to hear those that wish to speak to their written submissions over four days in September, including the 6 September to hear local board feedback and 13 September to deliberate and make recommendations to the Governing Body.

18. The JGWP recommendations will be reported to the 26 September Governing Body meeting, which will make a final decision on the proposal. If any objections or appeals are received, they will be assessed by the Local Government Commission.

19. A range of engagement events were held during the consultation period, some with a regional focus and some with a focus on local changes being proposed. These events were promoted through local communications, social media, and through the AK Have Your Say website. A full record of all events held during the consultation period is available on akhaveyoursay.nz/represent under ‘drop-in sessions’ and ‘webinars’. The webinar recordings are also available on the webpage.

20. All information relevant to the representation review has been made available through the AK Have Your Say website. In addition to providing access to the initial proposal and consultation documents, the website provided an interactive map with the ability to zoom in to inspect boundary locations. It also provided the events above and all the reports to the Governing Body and local boards, setting out the issues and options.

Analysis and advice

Representation review initial proposal

21. The Governing Body resolved the representation review initial proposal on 27 June 2024 for public notification and consultation outlined below and provided in Attachment A.

a) Ward boundary / representation changes

i) changes to the Central Auckland ward boundaries (Waitematā and Gulf, Ōrākei, Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, and Albert-Eden-Puketāpapa wards) so they match the proposed local board boundary changes while still following the fairness of representation rule, as shown in maps 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4.

ii) enlarge the North Shore Ward to include an area around Bayview, reducing noncompliance with the fairness of representation rule. These changes align the North Shore and Albany ward boundary with boundary changes to Upper Harbour and Kaipātiki local boards, as shown in map 1.5.

iii) Noncompliance of the North Shore Ward, with a -13.82 per cent variance, as compliance would split a community of interest.

b) Local board boundary / representation changes

i) the Rodney Local Board subdivisions will be, as shown in maps 2.1 and 2.2:

A) North Rural, 2 members

B) South Rural, 2 members

C) Warkworth, 2 members

D) Kumeū, 2 members

E) Dairy Flat, 1 member

ii) the total number of members on the Howick Local Board will increase from 9 to 11 members. The subdivisions will be, as shown in map 3:

A) Howick, 3 members (no change)

B) Pakuranga, 3 members (no change)

C) Botany, 2 members (changed area)

D) Flat Bush, 3 members (new subdivision)

iii) minor changes to local board boundaries:

A) the boundary between the Upper Harbour and Devonport-Takapuna local boards will be changed so that all of Saunders Reserve is in the Upper Harbour Local Board area (Map 4.1)

B) the boundary between Kaipātiki and Upper Harbour local boards will run along Sunset Road (Map 4.1)

C) the boundary between Kaipātiki and Upper Harbour local boards in the vicinity of Kereru Reserve will be adjusted such that the parcel of land, Lot 3 DP 142477 (R 14 Kereru Grove), becomes part of the Upper Harbour Local Board area (Map 4.1).

D) the boundary between Kaipātiki and Upper Harbour local boards will be adjusted to include the residential area of Bayview that is north of Glendhu Road in the Kaipātiki Local Board area, noting that meshblocks will need to be adjusted to avoid affecting any reserve area in the Upper Harbour Local Board area (Map 4.1).

E) the boundary between the Puketāpapa and Maungakiekie-Tāmaki local boards will be adjusted such that all Taumanu Reserve lies within the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area (Map 4.2)

iv) noncompliance with the 10 per cent rule for the following local boards for the reasons given in Attachment A:

A) Hibiscus and Bays

B) Maungakiekie-Tāmaki

C) Ōtara-Papatoetoe

D) Franklin

Feedback on the representation review initial proposal

22. Feedback on Auckland Council’s representation review initial proposal for the 2025 elections was received between 8 July and 8 August 2024.

23. The consultation document, feedback questions and maps are provided in Attachment A to this report.

24. Due to the proximity of the closing date for public feedback (8 August) and local board business meeting dates, this report provides the high-level summary of key themes. The feedback analysis report produced by the Insights team will be provided separately prior to the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board business meeting.

High level summary of feedback

25. At the time of writing this report, approximately 1050 submissions have been received however the final submission numbers will be confirmed at a later date and communicated via the feedback analysis report.

26. Key themes included general support for the proposed changes in the central Auckland wards, North Shore wards, the Howick Local Board subdivision arrangements, and the minor local board boundary changes. Submissions on the proposed changes to the Rodney Local Board subdivisions raised a number of issues to be addressed in the final proposal. Table A summarises key feedback themes.

Table A – proposed changes and summary of feedback

Change type	Change detail	Feedback
Ward boundaries	Central Auckland ward boundaries (Waitematā and Gulf, Ōrākei, Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, and Albert-Eden-Puketāpapa wards)	Feedback is mostly in support of the proposed boundary changes. Those in support generally feel the proposal will improve representation and those opposed generally feel the proposal will divide communities.
Ward boundaries	North Shore ward boundaries (North Shore and Albany wards)	Feedback is mostly in support of the proposed boundary changes. Generally, those in support feel it is a logical proposal and those who do not support disagree with the need for any change.
Ward noncompliance	North Shore ward	Feedback is mostly in support of the proposed noncompliance.
Local board subdivisions	Rodney Local Board. Four subdivisions to five. New ‘North’ and ‘South’ rural subdivisions.	Feedback is mixed on the proposed subdivision changes, with the majority in support and the remainder split fairly evenly between ‘do not support’ and ‘I don’t know’. Generally, those in support agree with rural representation and those who do not support disagree with the proposal subdivision boundaries.
Local board subdivisions	Howick Local Board. Three subdivisions to four. Additional subdivision for Flat Bush area.	Feedback is mostly in support of the proposed subdivision changes. Generally, those in support agree with creation of Flat Bush subdivision and those who do not support disagree with the need for any change.
Local board members	Howick Local Board. Additional two members for the proposed Flat Bush subdivision.	Feedback included a small number of submissions in support of Flat Bush subdivision, but not the additional members.
Local board boundaries	Minor changes to boundaries across Upper Harbour, Devonport-Takapuna, Kaipātiki, Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, and Puketāpapa local boards	Feedback is mostly in support of the proposed minor local board boundary changes. Generally, those in support agree with the minor shifts and those who do not support feel there is not enough information.
Local board noncompliance	Hibiscus and Bays, Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, Ōtara-Papatoetoe, and Franklin local boards.	Feedback is mostly in support of the proposed local board noncompliance.

27. Through the consultation on the representation review initial proposal, the council received feedback on matters that are not covered by the representation review scope under the LEA. The key themes for out-of-scope feedback include, but are not limited to:

· support for wider review (including reverting to pre-amalgamation)

· feedback on Māori representation for Auckland Council

· support for a change from First Past the Post to Single Transferable Vote

· requests for more civic education opportunities to better understand council.

Local Board feedback on initial proposal

28. This report provides the mechanism through which local boards may receive both high level feedback and the full analysis report to inform their own submission on the initial proposal.

29. Local board members who are also members of the JGWP are recommended to stand aside from decision-making on their their local board feedback to mitigate the risk of a perceived conflict of interest.

30. Local boards will have an opportunity to present their submission during a hearing on the 6

31. September 2024. Further information will be communicated to the local boards who wish to speak to their submissions.

Climate impact statement

32. There are no direct or specific climate change impacts resulting from this report or its implementation.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

33. The representation review proposes a number of relatively minor changes to representation arrangements, including to ward and subdivision boundaries, and in the case of the Howick Local Board, two additional members.

34. Should these or any further changes be confirmed, there will be some impact on council staff resourcing, which will mostly be absorbed within the local election work programme.

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

Local impacts and local board views

35. Local boards have been involved throughout the representation review process via their representatives on the JGWP, via workshops and business meeting resolutions.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

36. The Houkura chair sits on the JGWP and engagement with Māori and mataawaka has been ongoing as part of the process of developing the initial proposal, including the local board reorganisation plan, which is not proceeding.

37. Separate engagement sessions on the consultation material were held with Māori and mataawaka during early July.

38. Feedback from Māori has focused less on the changes proposed through the representation review initial proposal and more on the need for specific Māori representation both on local boards and the Governing Body.

39. The current legislation only contains provisions for Māori representation on the Governing Body, not local boards. On 26 October 2023, the Governing Body decided to not establish Māori wards for the 2025 local elections, acknowledging the need for further work to be undertaken through the JGWP and reported back to the Governing Body by 31 December 2024.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

40. There are no specific or direct financial implications resulting from this report. Should the proposed representation changes proceed at the 2025 local elections, there will be some impact on council budgets.

41. Direct costs associated with election process changes, modification of election material etc will be absorbed within the local election work programme. There will also be consequential costs on council’s systems and processes where matters are shifted from one ward or local board to another. Again, it is expected these would be absorbed within existing budgets.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

42. No specific risks have been identified with this report, which is simply seeking local board views on the representation review. Whatever representation arrangement changes occur as a result of this review will be assessed for risks as part of implementing those changes.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

43. Local board feedback will be considered by the JGWP which has been appointed as the panel to hear feedback in early September and included as appropriate in the working party’s report to the Governing Body.

44. The Governing Body will make decisions on the representation review at it 26 September meeting. Any submitters may lodge objections or appeals to these decisions with the Local Government Commission from 3 October – 3 November, which will make final decisions.

45. Approved representation arrangements will be implemented as part of the October 2025 local elections.
