Approval for the extension of two existing public road names at 170 Walters Road, Takanini

File No.: CP2024/15148

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek approval from the Papakura Local Board to extend two existing public road names to two new roads, created by way of a subdivision development at 170 Walters Road, Takanini.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines set out the requirements and criteria for proposed road names. The guidelines state that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the local board’s approval.

3.       The developer and applicant, Sanli Group Limited, has proposed the names presented below for consideration by the local board.

4.       The proposed road name options have been assessed against the Guidelines and the Australian & New Zealand Standard, Rural and Urban Addressing, AS NZS 4819:2011 and the Guidelines for Addressing in-fill Developments 2019 – LINZ OP G 01245. The technical matters required by those documents are considered to have been met and the proposed names are not duplicated elsewhere in the region or in close proximity. Mana whenua have been consulted in the manner required by the guidelines.

5.       The proposed names for the new public roads at 170 Walters Road, Takanini are:

 

Applicant’s Preference

Alternatives

Road 1

Leatherwood Road

(extension of existing name)

None.

Road 2

Hukihuki Drive

(extension of existing name)

None.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      whakaae / approve the extension of the following existing names for the two new public roads created by way of subdivision undertaken by Sanli Group Limited at 70 Walters Road, Takanini, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60367989, SUB60368011, road naming reference RDN90118899).

i.          Leatherwood Road (Road 1)

ii.         Hukihuki Drive (Road 2).

 

Horopaki

Context

6.       Resource consent reference BUN60367989 (subdivision reference number SUB60368011) was issued in July 2022 for the construction of 78 new dwellings, one commonly owned access lot (COAL) and two public roads to vest in Auckland Council.

7.       Site and location plans of the development can be found in Attachment A and B.

8.       In accordance with the standards, every public road and any private way, commonly owned access lot (COAL), or right of way, that serves more than five lots generally requires a new road name in order to ensure safe, logical and efficient street numbering.

9.       In this development, the two public roads therefore require road names. The roads requiring a name can be seen as highlighted in Attachment A.

10.     The COAL (Lot 101) does not require a road name as street numbers for the dwellings that the COAL serves can be allocated off the newly named Road 1.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

11.     The guidelines set out the requirements and criteria for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming across Auckland. The guidelines allow that where a new road needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name/s for the local board’s approval.

12.     The guidelines provide for road names to reflect one of the following local themes with the use of Māori names being actively encouraged:

·   a historical, cultural, or ancestral linkage to an area; or

·   a particular landscape, environmental or biodiversity theme or feature; or

·   an existing (or introduced) thematic identity in the area.

13.     New names for the roads are not required, with the extension of the existing names being the most logical in terms of addressing etc. As the names already exist within the area, they are considered acceptable.

14.     The name options have been assessed by the council’s Subdivision Specialist team to ensure that they meet both the guidelines and the standards in respect of road naming. The technical standards are considered to have been met.  It is therefore for the local board to decide upon the suitability of the names within the local context and in accordance with the delegation.

15.     Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable for use at this location and that the extension of the existing names to the new roads is logical and appropriate.

16.     ‘Road’ and ‘Drive’ are acceptable road types for the new public roads, suiting their form and layout.

17.     Mana whenua have not been consulted given that no new names are required or proposed.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

18.     The naming of roads does not affect climate change. Relevant environmental issues have been considered under the provisions of the Resource Management Act 1991 and the associated approved resource consent for the development.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

19.     The decision sought for this report has no identified impacts on other parts of the Council group. The views of council controlled organisations were not required for the preparation of the report’s advice.

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

Local impacts and local board views

20.     The local board’s decision is sought for this report, and that decision is not likely to have any immediate local impact beyond those outlined in this report.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

21.     To aid local board decision making, the guidelines include an objective of recognising cultural and ancestral linkages to areas of land through engagement with mana whenua, particularly through the resource consent approval process, and the allocation of road names where appropriate.   The guidelines identify the process that enables mana whenua the opportunity to provide feedback on all road naming applications. In this instance, feedback has not been sought as the proposal is for the extension of two existing road names, and no new names are required.

22.     This site is not listed as a site of significance to mana whenua.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

23.     The road naming process does not raise any financial implications for the council.

24.     The applicant has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate signage will be installed accordingly once approval is obtained for the new road names.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

25.     There are no significant risks to council as road naming is a routine part of the subdivision development process, with consultation being a key component of the process.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

26.     Approved road names are notified to LINZ which records them on its New Zealand wide land information database.  LINZ provides all updated information to other users, including emergency services.

Purpose of the report

2.       To consider requests for change of purpose of previous funding to the Rotary Club of Papakura Inc and the Papakura Business Association. 

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3.       The Papakura Local Board adopted the Papakura Local Grants Programme 2024/2025, provided as Attachment A. The document sets application guidelines for contestable grants submitted to the local board.

4.       The local board has set a total community grants budget of $192,691 for the 2024/2025 financial year.

5.       This report presents applications received in Papakura Local grants round one presented in Attachment B.

6.       In July, two refunds were received and reallocated to the community grants:

·    $2,403.32 from Life Education Trust.

7.       The new community grants budget is now $196,094.00, which will be allocated across two Local Grant rounds and two Quick Response Grant rounds.

8.       The Papakura Local Board received 46 applications for Papakura Local Grants round one requesting a total of $222,503.68.

9.       The local board is also asked to consider two requests for change of purpose on previous grants as follows:

The recipient is requesting approval of a change  in delivery venue and variation to the purpose so  the Santa Parade and a  a celebration event be held at  Pulman Park instead.  

·    LG2414-204 Chilling in the Park (being organised by the Papakura Business Association). A sum of $2,500 was approved on 22 May 2024 (2023/2024 – Local Grant Round 2) with a delivery date of 8 Dec 2024.

Horopaki

Context

10.     The local board allocates grants to groups and organisations delivering projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders and contribute to the vision of being a world class city

11.     Auckland Council’s Community Grants Policy supports each local board to adopt a grants programme. The local board grants programme sets out:

·    local board priorities

·    lower priorities for funding

·    higher priorities for funding

·    exclusions

·    grant types, the number of grant rounds and when these will open and close

·    any additional accountability requirements.

12.     The Papakura Local Board adopted the grants programme for 2024/2025 and will operate two small grants and two local grants rounds this financial year.

13.     The community grants programmes have been extensively advertised through the council grants webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters, Facebook pages, council publications, and community networks.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

14.     The aim of the local board grants programme is to deliver projects and activities which align with the outcomes identified in the local board plan. All applications have been assessed utilising the Community Grants Policy and the local board grant programme criteria. The eligibility of each application is identified in the report recommendations.

Funds returned / 2024/2025 grant budget

15.     The Papakura Local Board budget for the 2024/2025 community grants work programme as approved on 26 June 2024 was $192,691.

16.     In July 2024 two grant refunds were received:

·        $1,000 from Papakura High School – Park Fest 23 (LG2314-203)

·        $2,403.32 from Life Education Trust (LG2414-142).

17.     Therefore, the total Papakura Local Board 2024/2025 community grants budget is now $196,094.00, which will be allocated across two Local Grant rounds and two Quick Response Grant rounds.

Request for variations to grants

18.     Formal decisions are required regarding two grant applications from previous grant rounds:

(being organised by Rotary Club of Papakura Inc)

$35,000 approved 26 June 2024 (2023/2024 – Small Grants Round 2) – delivery date 1 December 2024

Rotary Club has advised that traffic management plan costs have escalated making it no longer viable to deliver the Santa Parade in the main street of Papakura. The organiser is requesting a variation to the grant for a change in location and purpose to deliver the Santa Parade followed by a celebration event in Pulman Park.

LG2414-204

Chilling in the Park (being organised by the Papakura Business Association)

$2,500 approved 22 May 2024 (2023/2024 – Local Grant Round 2) – delivery date 8 December 2024

The Chilling in the Park event is no longer proceeding given that the Santa Parade is proposed to move to  Pulman Park. 

There are two options for consideration:

i)     request the grant amount be returned to council.  This is recommended as best practice.

or

ii)    reallocate the $2,500 to offset another Papakura Business Association grant application request in this round so the funds don’t physically have to be returned to council then repaid to the Business Association for another purpose.

 

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

19.     The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to address climate change by providing grants to individuals and groups with projects that support community climate change action. Community climate action involves reducing or responding to climate change by residents in a locally relevant way. Local board grants can contribute to expanding climate action by supporting projects that reduce carbon emissions and increase community resilience to climate impacts. Examples of projects include:

·    local food production and food waste reduction

·    decreasing use of single-occupancy transport options

·    home energy efficiency and community renewable energy generation

·    local tree planting and streamside revegetation

·    education about sustainable lifestyle choices that reduce carbon footprints.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

20.     Based on the main focus of an application, a subject matter expert from the relevant department will provide input and advice. The main focus of an application is identified as arts, community, events, sport and recreation, environment, or heritage.

21.     The grants programme has no identified impacts on council-controlled organisations and therefore their views are not required.

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

Local impacts and local board views

22.     Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community grants. The Papakura Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or decline these grant applications in accordance with its priorities identified in the local board grant programme.

23.     Staff will provide feedback to unsuccessful grant applicants about why they have been declined, so they can increase their chances of success in the future.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

24.     The local board grants programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to improving Māori wellbeing by providing grants to individuals and groups who deliver positive outcomes for Māori. Auckland Council’s Māori Responsiveness Unit has provided input and support towards the development of the community grants processes. 

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

25.     The board’s community grants budget is $192,691. The board has received funds back from Papakura High School ($2,403.32) and Life Education Trust ($1,000), which brings the available total up to $196,094.32. Should the board request a refund from the Papakura Business Association for the Chilling in the Park event and retain the funds in the 2024/2025 community grants budget,  the new total for community grants will be $198,594.32. 

26.     The Papakura Local Board received 46 applications for Papakura Local Grants round one requesting a total of $222,503.68.

27.     It is recommended that the local board consider $68,000 for allocation in the 2024/2025 Local Grants Round One.

28.     The financial implications of the additional requests can be met within the community grants budget which will impact on the amount available for allocation in future grants rounds.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

29.     The allocation of grants occurs within the guidelines and criteria of the Community Grants Policy and the local board grants programme. The assessment process has identified a low risk associated with funding the applications in this round.

Next steps

30.     Following the Papakura Local Board allocating funding for the Local round one, council staff will notify the applicants of the local board’s decision.

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To fund, part-fund or decline the applications received for 2024/2025 Papakura Youth Scholarship Grant.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Papakura Local Board adopted the Papakura Youth Grants Programme 2024/2025 in  Attachment A. The document sets application guidelines for contestable grants submitted to the local board for the Youth Scholarship Grants.

3.       A budget of $20,000 has been set for this grant and will have one round in the 2024/2025 financial year.

4.       There are two applicants called Ara Kim in the Council system. A payment of $500 was made to the wrong Ara Kim in 23/24 financial year, so $500 has been deducted from this year’s budget (24/25 financial year) and paid to the correct Ara Kim. This leaves the new budget total at $20,000 - $500 = $19,500.

5.       This report presents applications received in Papakura Youth Scholarship Grant presented in Attachment B.

6.       The Papakura Local Board received 22 applications for the Papakura Youth Scholarship Grant requesting a total of $32,950.

Takanini Business Association - Business Improvement District (BID) establishment project

File No.: CP2024/14373

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To approve the proposed Takanini Business Association Business Improvement District programme establishment boundary map.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Takanini Business Association (TBA) has voted to undertake an establishment process towards becoming a Business Improvement District (BID).

3.       The Papakura Local Board has responsibility to approve the proposed BID establishment map (see Attachment B).

4.       If approved, the establishment project will move towards preparing to undertake a ballot. This stage puts the proposal to all businesses and business-rated property owners within the boundary map area in the form of a vote to seek approval for the establishment.

5.       If the ballot is successful, the Papakura Local Board will be asked to consider recommending the establishment of the BID to the Governing Body through a separate report.

6.       The proposed Takanini BID programme would include around 800 BID eligible voters including business owners and business ratepayers.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      approve the proposed boundary map for the Takanini Business Improvement District programme in Attachment B.

 

Horopaki

Context

7.       Under Auckland Council’s Business Improvement District Policy (the Policy), the Papakura Local Board has responsibility to approve the draft BID establishment map which outlines the area of the proposed Takanini BID programme.

8.       With support and funding from the Papakura Local Board, the TBA has undertaken surveying of businesses within the attached map area. The survey sought feedback on what a proposed BID programme would cover.

9.       The TBA is progressing through the BID Policy requirements for establishing a new BID programme for the Takanini business community.

10.     The TBA has engaged with the Papakura Local Board and Council’s BID team in deciding the boundaries for the proposed BID map area.

 

 

Papakura Local Board funding for the establishment project

11.     The Papakura Local Board provided funding over previous financial years including an allocation as per their 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 Work Programmes of:

·    $20,000 (PPK/2023/107) – to assist with TBA to build and manage the BID eligible database, to develop the communication and engagement process so businesses understand the benefits of a BID programme for their area, and to develop the BID area map and the BID targeted rate mechanism.

·    $20,000 (PPK/2024/83) – to assist and undertake the BID establishment consultation and engagement process and BID establishment collateral, and engage an independent polling agent to conduct the BID establishment ballot process before 31 March 2025.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

TBA-operated Takanini BID establishment project

12.     TBA has engaged with businesses building relationships, sharing information, and advocating on behalf of the businesses located within the Takanini business community.

13.     TBA presented an update on the BID establishment project including the proposed draft Takanini BID establishment map to the Papakura Local Board at its 28 August 2024 workshop. The survey sought to find out:

·    the activities and services businesses want from a TBA-operated BID programme

·    what makes Takanini attractive to businesses

·    the challenges facing businesses in Takanini.

14.     The proposed BID programme would see all business-rated properties within the boundary subject to an additional Takanini BID targeted rate raising approximately $500,000 p.a.

15.     The information from the survey has been shaped into a business plan and budget for the two-year period commencing 1 July 2025, when the BID programme could commence.

16.     The TBA membership approved the establishment of the BID programme at an Annual General meeting (AGM) held on 14 August 2024 (minutes of the meeting are included as Attachment C). At this meeting, members also approved:

·    A ‘hybrid’ BID targeted rate approach which includes a flat rate of $600 per business rated property plus a proportion (0.00020310) of the capital value of the business premise

·    The annual targeted rate grant amount of $500,000 commencing in the 2025/26 financial year

·    The income and expenditure budget for the first two years (2025/26 and 2026/27)

·    The proposed establishment boundary area map.

17.     Subsequent to the AGM meeting held on 14 August 2024, one of the key property owners indicated support to be included in the draft BID boundary area map and new BID programme. At the time the map was drafted, the property mentioned was awaiting land use changes and was not identified at the time as BID eligible voters. The property owner confirmed the changes were progressing and council’s Rates and Finance Teams advised the proposed draft BID establishment boundary area map could be updated.

18.     The TBA executive committee met on 20 September 2024 and formally approved the revised Takanini BID establishment map in Attachment B.

19.     A copy of the TBA executive committee meeting minutes is included in Attachment D.

 

 

Campaign, consultation, and voter engagement

20.     The TBA is developing a campaign strategy with a communications and engagement plan to engage with all eligible voters. The campaign will ensure voters are aware of the establishment proposal including the targeted rating amount and mechanism.

21.     The Policy will require the TBA to host a minimum of three public meetings with question-and-answer sessions for voters to hear more about the proposal.

22.     Election Services Limited have been engaged by the TBA to undertake the BID establishment ballot. To achieve establishment, the Policy mandates a minimum vote return of 25 per cent with a minimum of 51 per cent of the votes in favour.

23.     The Takanini BID establishment ballot voting opens on Wednesday 19 February 2025 and closes on Wednesday 19 March 2025.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

24.     The Takanini BID programme establishment has no specific impact on climate.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

25.     The TBA has consulted with Council’s BID team throughout the establishment project and in creating the proposed boundary map. The TBA has also presented to Papakura Local Board workshops.

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

Local impacts and local board views

26.     The results of an establishment ballot will determine the support for a Takanini BID programme and the associated targeted rate.

27.     The Papakura Local Board has supported the TBA throughout the establishment project process. This reflects the local board’s support for the BID programme approach, which is utilised by 51 other BID-operating business associations across the region.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

28.     There is no known impact on Māori through the approval of the map for the proposed Takanini BID area. All businesses within the proposed boundary map will be included in the ballot process and enfranchised to vote at the TBA’s AGM in the case of establishment.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

29.     If the Takanini BID ballot is successful, a BID targeted rate will be applied to all business-rated properties within the boundary map. The programme will be cost neutral to Council and the Papakura Local Board.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

30.     Council officers are satisfied all requirements of the Policy have been met by the TBA in proposing the BID programme establishment and boundary map.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

31.     Council officers will advise the TBA of the decision of the Papakura Local Board on the proposed Takanini BID establishment boundary map and continue working with the TBA going forward.

Purpose of the report

1.       To inform and seek feedback on aspects of the Time of Use Charging programme from local boards.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Time of Use Charging programme is developing policy settings and options analysis to inform the Auckland Council group what a successful scheme in Auckland could look like and what enabling legislation would be required for this. This will inform a council group submission to the Select Committee process once legislation has been drafted and contribute to a detailed design process.

3.       Feedback received from local boards will inform policy and scheme designs, along with the submission to Select Committee.

4.       This report invites feedback from local boards for the first round of engagement for the project.

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      whakarite / provide feedback and insights on issues related to Time of Use Charging policy development, based on discussions held at local board workshops during August / September 2024.

 

Horopaki

Context

5.       In 2020, the Auckland Transport Alignment Project partners investigated the potential for congestion charging in Auckland and The Congestion Question (TCQ) report. The report studied different types of congestion charging and approaches to implementation. The full report is available here: www.transport.govt.nz/area-of-interest/auckland/the-congestion-question

6.       In August 2021, Parliament’s Transport and Infrastructure Select Committee recommended that government legislate to allow New Zealand cities to use congestion pricing as a tool in transport planning.

7.       In November 2023, Auckland Council’s Transport and Infrastructure Committee (TIC) asked Auckland Transport (AT) and Auckland Council (AC) to establish a time of use charging programme (“the programme”) to further develop policies and investigate scheme designs for a potential scheme in Auckland.

8.       AT and AC have developed a programme of work to investigate what a scheme could look like in Auckland with the aim to have it implemented following legislation enactment.

9.       In June 2024, TIC endorsed the programme’s primary objective, “to manage travel demand to achieve an improvement in road network performance by reducing congestion, increasing the throughput of people and goods, and improving the reliability of the road network”.  In addition, TIC noted that the programme will undertake detailed analysis of the recommended options from TCQ, which included a city centre cordon, and strategic corridors on the inner isthmus; as well as highly congested locations across the motorway and arterial network.

10.     In August 2024, the Minister of Transport announced that enabling legislation for Time of Use Charging was being developed, with an aim to introduce it to parliament in late 2024, with Select Committee and enactment in 2025.

11.     The programme intends to take advice to the Auckland Council Transport, Resilience and Infrastructure Committee (TRIC) in late 2024 or early 2025. This advice would also form the basis of an Auckland Council Group submission to Select Committee.

12.     Feedback from early engagement with partners and key stakeholders, including mana whenua, local boards, key stakeholders and community panels, will be considered in the advice given to TRIC.

13.     Future stages of scheme development are subject to legislative development. Extensive engagement is planned to be undertaken throughout the process, including public consultation and with local boards.

Analysis and advice

Policy and Option Development

14.     Time of Use Charging is a method used to help ease congestion by charging road users to travel at specific times and/or locations to encourage some users to change the time, route or way in which they travel.

15.     The TCQ report is the primary reference for the discussion of congestion pricing. Analysis showed that Auckland’s congestion is getting worse, noting in 2020 that an average weekday motorway trip took almost 10 percent more time than it did in 2016, and that motorists needed to allow an additional 40 to 55 percent longer for their trips to be assured of arriving on time.

16.     Additionally, congestion was increasingly a problem throughout the day and at weekends, not just at peak times. The TCQ report found that without congestion pricing, congestion was expected to become more widespread, even after significant investment in roading, public transport and active transport modes. It is a situation that compromises Aucklanders’ access to jobs, education and other opportunities and makes it more difficult to travel around the region, thereby negatively impacting both the productivity and liveability of the city. It found:

i)       International evidence from several cities shows congestion pricing is being used successfully to influence travel demand and ease congestion.

ii)       Auckland’s widespread congestion, heavy car dependency and dispersed commuting patterns present unique challenges for a congestion pricing solution.

iii)      Technology exists to enable a wide range of solutions.

iv)      It was better to investigate smaller scale options that could be used as ‘stepping stones’ for developing a wider system. An evolving system would allow for close monitoring and the effective management of issues that arise.

v)      Building public understanding and acceptance will be critical to successfully implementing any congestion pricing solution.

17.     To understand what a successful time of use charging scheme could look like in Auckland, the programme is considering policy settings and an assessment of different scheme design options against the following assessment criteria: network (including public transport alternatives), social impact, economic impact, practical, cost benefit analysis and environmental impact.

18.     While seeking to reduce congestion, it is recognised that those gains need to be considered against wider impacts on the transport network, people and businesses. Informed by the TCQ report and feedback from TIC, the programme recommends the following core policy principles for any proposed scheme to be successful:

i)          Effective: Improve network performance.

ii)         Fair: Minimise and mitigate adverse social impacts and ensure benefits and costs are fairly distributed across users.

iii)        Simple: Be easy to understand and avoid complexity.

iv)        Feasible: Able to be implemented.

19.     The introduction of a time of use charge will result in secondary outcomes. These will be measured but are not factors that will drive how a scheme is designed:

i)          Revenue generation.

ii)         Public transport mode shift.

iii)        Public health through emissions reduction.

20.     Additionally, the current work programme aims to minimise the impact of the following undesirable consequences, while ensuring viable public transport options are available to support the implementation of a scheme:

i)          Diversion impacts i.e., managing traffic created by people avoiding routes that incur charges.

ii)         Community severance i.e., the potential impact on social relationships and cohesiveness created by charging for travel on some roads.

iii)        Major differences in user net costs and benefits, ensuring that road users are getting value for money.

iv)        Exacerbated transport deprivation; to ensure the fair distribution of costs and benefits across all communities. Specifically considering that charges do not further reduce transport options in areas without adequate public transport alternatives.

21.     The programme has identified three broad options and will assess them against these objectives to develop more detailed options that can be discussed further during engagement.

22.     The programme is not seeking to finalise a single option at this stage. Instead, work is focused on understanding the situation and the complexities associated with different scheme designs.

Engagement Activities

23.     An essential part of this process is understanding the expectations of Auckland communities. The programme is currently engaging early with local boards, mana whenua and key stakeholders. The aim is to understand the views of a broad range of stakeholders and communities so that this information can inform the policy design work, the council’s submission to Select Committee and further engagement phases prior to public consultation.

24.     Local boards are encouraged to provide feedback, and a feedback submission form has been included with this report (Attachment A).

25.     Future engagement and consultation activities are to be confirmed through the legislative development process, with the expectation that extensive engagement will be undertaken in the future, including public consultation.

 

 

 

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

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

27.     Impacts to water, air and emissions are expected as secondary outcomes of a time of use charging scheme. These factors will be measured and expanded upon in the development of scheme design options. 

28.     Time of use charging is an ‘enabler’ for climate goals promoting more efficient use of the existing network and encouraging use of less polluting modes of travel.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

29.     This programme is being delivered jointly by AT and AC.

30.     TIC has endorsed in principle a congestion pricing scheme in Auckland and understand the benefits and disbenefits of a scheme, along with the need to have public transport services and projects in place across Auckland on an equitable basis to allow road users to switch to alternative modes where appropriate.

31.     Auckland Council’s Governing Body was involved in developing the Auckland Transport Alignment Plan which studied congestion charging and led to the commissioning of the TCQ report. The Governing Body was also engaged during the development of the TCQ report.

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

Local impacts and local board views

32.     A workshop was held with the Papakura Local Board on 14 August 2024 providing an introduction to the work underway. A copy of the presentation and memo is included as Attachment B and C to this report.

33.     Local board workshops provided an opportunity for the programme to understand local boards’ initial views which included the importance of good public transport options, concerns about impacts on lower socio-economic communities and a desire to see any revenue raised reinvested into transport in Auckland.

34.     This report provides the local board with an opportunity to provide feedback either using the attached feedback form or via a resolution.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

35.     AT and AC are committed to meeting their responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi as well as broader legal obligations to be responsive to Māori.

36.     AT’s Māori Responsiveness Plan outlines its commitment to 19 mana whenua iwi 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 AT website: https://at.govt.nz/about-us/transport-plans-strategies/maori-responsiveness-plan/#about

37.     Using this framework for discussion, AT began engagement with mana whenua via hui in June 2024. This initial engagement will be followed by engagement at ongoing hui at governance and operational levels. Further opportunities for engagement are currently being identified in alignment with programme deliverables.

38.     As the programme progresses, the impact of a time of use charge on Māori will be analysed in increasing detail, providing a full understanding of what these charges will mean for Māori communities in Tāmaki Makaurau.

39.     Māori will be informed and provided with opportunities to engage with the programme so their views can inform the policy and scheme designs.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

40.     Funding for Time of Use Charging has been included in the Regional Land Transport Plan.

41.     Government co-funding is subject to legislation and the National Land Transport Fund.

42.     Further information on financial implications will be provided during future stages of the programme.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

43.     Providing feedback on time use charging currently does not carry any legal or financial risk to the local board.

44.     This process is to seek initial views only. If local boards have concerns about resolving feedback before understanding the views of their community, they may choose to delay providing feedback until formal engagement takes place in 2025.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

45.     The programme will review all feedback from local boards. Feedback will help inform the programme of work prior to reporting to TRIC in December 2024, followed by the Select Committee in 2025.

46.     Further engagement with local boards will be sought as policy settings and scheme design progresses in conjunction with legislation development.

47.     Once legislation is passed in 2025, AT and AC expect to work closely with NZTA to develop a scheme for Auckland. Part of this process will include broad engagement and consultation with local boards, stakeholders and the public.

Local board views on draft changes to dog policy and bylaw

File No.: CP2024/15696

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To receive the local board views on draft proposed changes to Auckland Council’s policy and bylaw on dogs.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       To enable the local board to provide its views on draft proposed changes to the Auckland Council Kaupapa mo ngā Kurī | Policy on Dogs 2019 (Policy) and Ture a Rohe Tiakina Kurī | Dog Management Bylaw 2019 (Bylaw), staff have prepared a summary in Attachment A.

3.       The changes are in response to a statutory review by the Regulatory and Community Safety Committee and preferred options of an Elected Member Working Group.

4.       Key draft proposed changes are to:

·    set a limit on the number of dogs one person may walk both on-leash and off-leash

·    amend or clarify the dog access rules in 14 regional parks

·    clarify some existing rules in the Policy and Bylaw

·    reorganise and reformat existing Policy content.

5.       Staff recommend the local board provide its views on the draft proposed changes. Taking this approach will help develop a proposal to improve the Policy and Bylaw.

6.       There is a reputational risk that the proposed changes or the local board’s views do not reflect the views of people in their local board area. This risk would be partly mitigated by the opportunity for the local board to provide views on public feedback prior to deliberations.

7.       The Regulatory and Safety Committee will consider the local board views in December and recommend a proposal to the Governing Body. Public consultation on the proposal is scheduled for early 2025, deliberations in June and final Governing Body decision in July.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      whakarite / provide feedback on draft proposed changes to the Auckland Council Kaupapa mo ngā Kurī | Policy on Dogs 2019 and Ture a Rohe Tiakina Kurī | Dog Management Bylaw 2019 summerised in Attachment A. 

 

Horopaki

Context

Council is required to have and review a policy on dogs and bylaw to implement the policy

8.       The Dog Control Act 1996 requires Auckland Council to have a policy on dogs and a bylaw to give effect to it by specifying rules that dog owners must comply with.

9.       The Auckland Council’s Kaupapa no ngā Kurī / Policy on Dogs 2019 (Policy) and Ture ā Rohe Tiakina Kurī / Dog Management Bylaw 2019 (Bylaw) were originally made in 2012 (GB/2012/157). The Policy was amended, and the Bylaw replaced in 2019 (GB/2019/71).

The Policy and Bylaw aim to keep dogs as a positive part of Aucklanders’ lives

10.     The Policy and Bylaw seek to keep dogs as a positive part of the life of Aucklanders by:

·        focusing on registration, classification, education and information, a balanced approach to dog access in shared spaces and problem response and reduction

·        Animal Management staff using a modern regulator approach to compliance (information, education, enforcement)

·        being part of a wider regulatory framework.[1]

A recent Policy and Bylaw review identified improvements

11.     In June 2024, the Regulatory and Community Safety Committee completed a review of the Policy and Bylaw and requested the development of options for improvements and a proposal on the preferred option (RSCCC/2024/47).

12.     A Joint Working Group[2] provided guidance on the preferred options to enable the development of a proposal for consultation.

13.     A summary of the draft proposed changes is contained in Attachment A of this report.

The local board has an opportunity to provide its views on the draft proposed changes

14.     The local board has an opportunity to provide its views on the draft proposed changes in Attachment A by resolution to the Regulatory and Safety Committee before a final proposal is adopted for public consultation.

15.     For example, the board could support the draft proposed changes for public consultation, recommend changes or defer comment until it has considered public feedback on the proposal.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

The draft proposed changes seek to improve the current Policy and Bylaw

16.     The draft proposed changes seek to improve the current Policy and Bylaw across five topics.

17.     The Table below summarises the key draft proposed changes. Attachment A contains more details, including other options considered by the Working Group.

Proposed key change

Reasons for proposal

·  Set a limit on the number of dogs a person may walk at one time (maximum of six dogs of which no more than three dogs are allowed under control off-leash at any one time)

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide an overview of the key achievements for the Papakura Local Board for the 2023/2024 period, between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024 (the 2024 financial year). 

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       This report considers the achievements of the local board in the context of the Papakura Local Board Plan 2020 and the local board work programme for the 2023/2024 financial year.

3.       The Papakura Local Board Plan 2020 set out the aspirations, required outcomes and priorities for the Papakura community over a three-year period, including projects and areas of advocacy that the board undertakes on behalf of the community. The local board work programme 2023/2024 was approved on 26 July 2023 and delivers on the Local Board Plan 2020. 

4.       The board undertook community consultation to develop the Local Board Plan 2020. The plan contained the following outcomes for the Papakura community:

·    Outcome One:  A vibrant and prosperous local economy - Our part of the world thrives, with successful local businesses creating jobs for local people. Our commercial centres are great places to work, shop, relax and enjoy the company of family and friends.

 

·    Outcome Two:  A community enriched by its diversity, where people feel connected and lead active, healthy lives - We have great parks and places to play and do the things we enjoy. We come together at lively events and activities that include people socially and draw on the strengths of our different cultures.

 

·    Outcome Three:  A well-connected area where it’s easy to move around - Our roads are free from congestion, public transport is convenient and reliable, walkways and cycleways are linked together and safe.

 

·    Outcome four:  A treasured environment and heritage - We value our natural environment and heritage, protecting and nourishing them for future generations.

 

·    Outcome five:  A partnership with Māori that creates a Papakura where Māori identity, culture and aspirations are embraced - We recognise the importance of partnering with Māori to create enduring relationships, a thriving Māori identity, and outcomes that benefit Māori and all Papakura residents.

 

5.       As part of the Papakura Local Board Plan 2020 and the 2023/2024 Papakura Local Board Agreement, a list of advocacy initiatives were developed, identifying each area of advocacy and the entity that the board will advocate to for the progression of initiatives - either the Governing Body or a council-controlled organisation (CCO).

6.       Over the three years of the local board plan, many of the projects and advocacy initiatives have been achieved by the board as outlined in Attachment A.
