Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

13. Local boards held workshops during November 2024 to determine their proposed priorities for their 2025/2026 local board agreement. Each local board is now requested to approve its local consultation document content and supporting information content for inclusion in the consultation material for the Annual Plan 2025/2026 (Attachments A and B respectively).

14. Should changes be required to the local consultation content during the document production, they will be provided to the local board chair for approval.

15. Aucklanders who wish to have their views on the proposed content of the local board agreement 2025/2026 and Annual Plan 2025/2026 considered by Auckland Council should be provided a reasonable opportunity to present those views in a manner and format that is appropriate to their preferences and needs.

16. The recommended Have Your Say events, along with the recommended delegation to elected members and staff to hear from the public ensures that the council is meeting its obligations relating to consultation.

17. The Have Your Say event recommended to be held in the Aotea / Great Barrier Local Board area is a drop-in session on Saturday 1 March 2025, 10am - 12 noon, at the Growers & Makers market, Claris Conference Centre, 19 Whangaparapara Road, Claris, Aotea / Great Barrier Island

18. Other Have Your Say events will also take place across the region along with a range of ways for people to engage with the council during the consultation period. There will also be online information available and the opportunity to submit written or digital feedback. Note that the proposed date for the Have Your Say event will be checked with Ward Councillor/s to ensure they are able to attend.

19. The consultation period does not begin for a couple of months. If circumstances change between now and the consultation period requiring any changes to the approved Have Your Say event, these will be provided to the local board chair for approval in line with the recommended delegation.

20. There are unavoidable material increases in the cost of delivering existing services in 2025/2026. The exact amount of cost pressures the local board is facing is currently unknown and will depend on final Governing Body decisions on allocation of funding to local boards. The local board may need to prioritise what they do and where they invest so that they manage spend within the available funding.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

21. The decision to consult is procedural in nature and the small scale of the Have Your Say events means any climate change impacts will be negligible. These decisions are unlikely to result in any identifiable changes to greenhouse gas emissions. The effects of climate change will not impact the decisions.

22. However, where practicable, events proposed will be in locations accessible by public transport, to reduce private vehicle travel and increase opportunities for attendance.

23. Some of the proposed initiatives or projects included in the consultation content may have climate change impacts. The impacts of any initiatives or projects Auckland Council chooses to progress as a result of this consultation will be assessed as part of the relevant reporting requirements.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

24. The Annual Plan 2025/2026 is an Auckland Council group document and will include budgets at a consolidated group level.

25. Consultation items and updates to budgets to reflect decisions and new information may include items from across the group. This will be reflected in the report on regional consultation items going the Budget Committee on 4 December 2024.

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

Local impacts and local board views

26. Local board chairs have been invited to be involved in the development of the regional topics for consultation by attending Budget Committee workshops. Local board members were provided recordings of the Budget Committee workshops for the Annual Plan 2025/2026.

27. Local boards will have further opportunities to provide information and views as the council progresses through the Annual Plan 2025/2026 process.

28. Aucklanders will have the opportunity to give feedback on regional and local proposals through the public consultation on the Annual Plan 2025/2026. All feedback received from submitters that indicate that they reside in the local board area will be analysed by staff and made available for consideration by the local board, prior to the local board finalising its local board agreement.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

29. Many local board decisions are of importance to and impact on Māori. The local board agreement and Annual Plan 2025/2026 are important tools that enable and can demonstrate the council’s responsiveness to Māori. The local board plan adopted in November 2023 forms the basis for local priorities.

30. The approach to Māori engagement for Annual Plan 2025/2026 will be finalised once consultation topics are confirmed, including development of bespoke materials.

31. There is a need to continue to build local board relationships with iwi and the wider Māori community. Ongoing conversations will assist the local board and Māori to understand each other’s priorities and challenges.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

32. There may be marginal costs associated for Have Your Say events including venue hire (where council premises cannot be utilised).

33. After consultation local boards will make decisions on local spending in the local board agreement with financial impacts that affect local communities.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

34. The Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 requires content relating to each local board agreement to be included in the Annual Plan 2025/2026 consultation document. Under the Local Government Act 2002, the consultation document for the Annual Plan must be audited. The draft consultation document (including local consultation content) will be prepared by staff and audited in December and January ahead of adoption by the Budget Committee in mid-February. Therefore, local boards need to approve their local consultation content for inclusion in the draft consultation document by the beginning of December 2024.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

35. The Budget Committee will agree items for consultation and approve the consultation approach for the Annual Plan 2025/2026 on 4 December 2024.

36. Following the decisions of the local board to approve local consultation content, and the decisions of the Budget Committee on regional items for consultation, staff will prepare the consultation document and supporting information for the Annual Plan 2025/2026. These will be adopted by the Budget Committee in mid-February 2025.

37. Following consultation, the Governing Body and the local board will make decisions on the Annual Plan 2025/2026 and local board agreements respectively in June 2025.

Request for change to local dog access rule

File No.: CP2024/19409

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To seek a decision on whether to propose changes to local dog access rules in the local board area for the purposes of public consultation.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The council has received requests to change local dog access rules in the local bord area.

3. An assessment against criteria in the Dog Control Act 1996 and Auckland Council Kaupapa mo ngā Kuri | Policy on Dogs 2019 found possible structural problems with the current rules (problems that place responsible dog owners, their dogs, other people, animals or property at significant risk or unreasonably restrict responsible dog owner access).

4. The assessment findings meet legislative and Policy criteria to enable the local board to consider whether to change the local dog access rules related to the requests.

5. To enable the local board to decide whether to change the local dog access rules, staff identified and assessed two options against legislative and Policy criteria:

· Option one: Status quo – no change to current local dog access rule

· Option two: Amend local dog access rule.

6. Staff recommend Option two and have prepared a Statement of Proposal in Attachment A for the local board to adopt for public consultation. Taking this approach will better achieve the Policy to balance the needs of dogs, people, animals, the environment and property.

7. There is a medium reputational risk that people may feel the proposed changes do not reflect their views. This can be mitigated by communicating the reasons for the proposed changes and that the local board will consult the public before making a final decision.

8. If approved, staff will commence the public consultation process alongside other proposed changes to the council’s Policy and Bylaw on dogs by the Governing Body and other local boards in early 2025. The consultation will include an online feedback form and regional Have Your Say events. The local board will consider any public feedback, deliberate, and make a final decision by mid-2025.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Aotea / Great Barrier Local Board:

a) ohia / endorse the assessment findings of possible structural problems with the local dog access rules in Attachment B of this agenda report.

b) whakaae / agree that Option two (Amend local dog access rule) in Attachment B of this agenda report is the most appropriate response to the assessment findings.

c) whai / adopt the Statement of Proposal in Attachment A of this agenda report that contains proposed amendments to local dog access rules for public consultation using the Local Government Act 2002 special consultative procedure, to the extent it applies to locations within the local board area.

d) whakaū / confirm that the proposed amendments to local dog access rules in the Statement of Proposal in Attachment A of this agenda report, to the extent it applies to locations within the local board area:

i) are consistent with the policy, principles and criteria for deciding dog access rules in the Auckland Council Kaupapa mo ngā Kuri | Policy on Dogs 2019

ii) are not inconsistent with any decision in relation to region-wide dog access rules contained in the Auckland Council Kaupapa mo ngā Kuri | Policy on Dogs 2019

iii) are in accordance with all relevant legislative requirements, in particular the Local Government Act 2002 and Dog Control Act 1996.

e) appoint a chair and two Local Dog Access Panel members from the local board to attend relevant ‘Have Your Say’ events and to deliberate and make recommendations to the local board on public feedback to the proposal in Attachment A of this agenda report.

f) delegate authority to the local board chair to make replacement appointments to the Local Dog Access Panel if a Panel member is unavailable.

g) delegate authority through the Chief Executive to a manager responsible for bylaws to:

i) appoint staff to receive public feedback at ‘Have Your Say’ events where attendance from Panel members is not necessary (for example, an informal ‘drop-in’ session)

ii) make any amendments to the proposal in Attachment A of this agenda report to correct errors, omissions, insert maps or reflect decisions made by the local board.

h) tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that the local board would need to fund any bespoke public consultation initiatives and allocate funding for estimated costs in Attachment B of this agenda report (for example for signage) to implement any local dog access rule changes.

Horopaki

Context

Council has received requests to change local dog access rules

9. Council has received requests to change local dog access rules in the local board area.

10. A summary of the requests is provided in Attachment B.

Local dog access rules provide spaces for dogs and their owners that is safe for everyone, are adopted by local boards and enforced by council staff

11. The Auckland Council Kaupapa mo ngā Kuri | Policy on Dogs 2019 (Policy) contains dog access rules that seek to provide a balanced use of public places for dogs and their owners that is safe for everyone. This includes people, animals, the environment and property.

12. The local board has delegated authority to decide dog access rules on local park, beach and foreshore areas in their local board area (GB/2012/157).

13. Council’s Animal Management Team enforce dog access rules with the power to issue $300 infringement fines. In practice, Animal Management adopts a modern regulator approach that focuses more on education than penalties to increase voluntary compliance, including through website information, signage and interactions with dog owners during patrols.

Deciding how to respond to a request requires assessments against criteria

14. A local board decision to change a local dog access rule must meet regulatory criteria in their delegated authority, Policy on Dogs 2019, Dog Control Act 1996 and Local Government Act 2002 (See Attachment C). For example, the local board cannot change any regional rule that applies on a local park (for example the ‘no dogs on playgrounds’ rule).

15. To assist the local board in deciding how to respond to requests for changes to local dog access rules, staff complete a two-part assessment against regulatory criteria to:

· find whether evidence associated with the request^{^[1]} relates to structural problems

· identify and assess options in response to the structural problems.

16. The focus on structural problems recognises that:

· dog access rules in Auckland have been established since 1996 with the opportunity for a comprehensive local board review occurring between 2013 and 2016

· the focus now is on managing change that support responsible dog ownership, for example:

o identifying new opportunities for dog friendly access in neighbourhoods with limited off-leash areas

o only restricting access for new park developments, more people, increased presence of protected wildlife or new threats to natural habitat where the presence of dogs creates significant risk to people, stock, poultry, domestic animals, protected wildlife, natural habitat or property.

· this approach means changes to local dog access rules are not used to address the actions of irresponsible dog owners or to reconsider previous decisions^{^[2]}

· the actions of irresponsible dog owners (for example failure to control their dog) are addressed by animal management officers (for example patrols, education and fines).

Any decision to change a current rule must use the special consultative procedure

17. Any decision to change a current local dog access rule must first be adopted as a proposal for public consultation using the Local Government Act 2002 special consultative procedure before a final decision is made (See Next Steps for further details).

18. To assist the local board, staff have drafted a proposal for public consultation (Attachment A) where a change to the current rule is the recommended option.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

An assessment has found possible structural problems with current local dog access rules

19. An assessment of the evidence against regulatory criteria included the identification of structural changes and significant risk factors or opportunities to determine whether there is a structural problem with current local dog access rules related to a request.

20. The assessment findings identified possible structural problems with current local dog access rules.

21. A summary of the assessment is provided in Attachment B.

An options assessment recommends changes to current local dog access rules

22. Two options are identified that respond to the assessment findings:

· Option one: Status quo – no change to current local dog access rule

· Option two: Amend local dog access rule.

23. A comparative options assessment against criteria included a description of each option and its implementation, effectiveness, efficiency, validity and risks, and a recommendation.

24. Staff recommend Option two (Amend local dog access rule). This approach better achieves the Policy to balance the needs of dogs, people, animals, the environment and property.

25. A summary and detailed options assessment is provided in Attachment B.

Staff recommend adopting a proposal to implement the changes for public consultation

26. Staff have prepared a Statement of Proposal in Attachment A to adopt the recommended options. The proposal has been drafted to comply with relevant statutory requirements^{^[3]}.

27. Staff recommend the local board adopt the proposal for public consultation. Taking this approach will commence the statutory process to improve local dog access rules.

28. The local board is requested to appoint a Local Dog Access Panel to attend ‘Have Your Say’ events as appropriate, deliberate and make recommendations to the local board on public feedback to the proposal.

29. It is also recommended that staff be delegated authority to receive public feedback at ‘Have Your Say’ events as appropriate or in case a Panel Member cannot attend.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

30. Environmental impacts were considered as part of the findings and options assessment. No climate impact was found relating to the change requests or the Proposal.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

31. Input from relevant council teams was sought to inform the findings and options assessment, and those teams are aware of the impacts of the Proposal and their implementation role.

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

Local impacts and local board views

32. Local impacts of any change to dog access rules were examined during the findings and options assessment, and any notable impacts are discussed in Attachment B.

33. Local boards have delegated authority to decide local dog access rules in their area. This means local boards are the final decisions-makers and must consider all public feedback with an open mind before making a final decision.

34. Staff will support the local board to use the special consultative procedure to seek public feedback, deliberate and to make and implement a final decision.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

35. Local dog access rules support whanaungatanga (vibrant communities), manaakitanga (quality of life) and kaitiakitanga (sustainable futures) in Houkura | the Independent Māori Statutory Board’s Māori Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau and Schedule of Issues of Significance by helping to protect the safety of people and the environment.

36. No particular impact on mana whenua and mataawaka have been identified. Staff will engage with mana whenua and mataawaka during the public consultative process to ensure Māori are able to provide their views on the proposal.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

37. The cost of the special consultative procedure will be met within existing budgets. This is possible because staff will combine any proposed changes to local dog access rules with public consultation on the Governing Body’s proposed changes from its review of council’s Policy on Dogs 2019 and Dog Management Bylaw 2019 (See Next Steps).

38. The local board would need to fund any bespoke public consultation initiatives, and (similar to any new alcohol bans) allocate funding for estimated costs in Attachment B of this agenda report (for example for signage) to implement any local dog access rule changes.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

39. The following risks have been identified:

If …

Then …

Mitigation

… the proposed change does not reflect people’s views

… those people may think the proposal is unreasonable

(medium risk)

Communication of the reasons for the proposal and that public feedback will be sought before making a final decision.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

40. If the proposed changes are adopted, the next steps will be public consultation prior to making a final decision in mid-2025.

41. Note that the Governing Body and other local boards will also make decision in December 2024 on proposed changes to the Policy and Bylaw on dogs for public consultation.

42. All Governing Body and local board proposed changes will be combined into a single public consultation process to commence in early 2025.

43. The consultation will include an online feedback form and regional Have Your Say events.

Auckland Transport Kōkiri / Local Board Transport Agreement Quarterly Update - December 2024

File No.: CP2024/18469

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To provide an update on projects in the local board’s Kōkiri / Local Board Transport Agreement 2024-2025 (Kōkiri Agreement).

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The Kōkiri Agreement 2024-2025 is a local board’s engagement plan with Auckland Transport’s (AT) work programme.

3. Developing the agreement is an annual process. During this process AT provides advice on its work programme, seeks feedback from the local board, responds to this feedback, and establishes an endorsed plan for engaging on work in the local board area.

4. This report provides an update on projects in the local board’s Kōkiri Agreement.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Aotea / Great Barrier Local Board:

a) whiwhi / receive the December 2024 quarterly update on the Kōkiri / Local Board Transport Agreement 2024-2025.

Horopaki

Context

5. In mid-2023, development of the Kōkiri Agreement was initiated to build a more structured and supportive relationship between local boards and Auckland Transport. The Kōkiri Agreement is formed through an annual process that includes the following steps:

October/November	AT provides quality advice to local boards on the next financial year’s work programme.
March	Local boards provide their feedback, prioritise projects or programmes, and request levels of engagement for each project.
April/May	AT responds to that feedback, and a Kōkiri Agreement is written for each local board.
June/July	AT seeks formal endorsement of the Kōkiri Agreement from local boards.

6. AT reports quarterly on the prioritised projects and programmes listed in the local board’s Kōkiri Agreement.

7. This process provides a clear annual structure for engaging with AT. Local boards are able to influence Auckland Transport’s work programme through the annual Kōkiri Agreement process.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

8. Kōkiri Agreements prioritise the projects or programmes that are of most interest to the local board. Clear local board prioritisation provides Auckland Transport with expectations of transport related objectives, in addition to the objectives provided in the local board plan. This information helps AT to either inform its planning or to offer better explanations for why certain projects or programmes cannot be delivered.

9. However, plans evolve and change, so AT reports quarterly on progress of projects in the Kōkiri Agreement. This means that local boards are kept informed and have a regular opportunity to provide formal feedback to AT about their work programme.

10. The levels of engagement in the Kōkiri Agreement are derived from the International Association for Public Participation’s (IAP2) doctrine and are as follows:

Collaboration	AT and the local board work together to deliver the project or programme. The local board leads the process of building community consensus. The local board’s input and advice are used to formulate solutions and develop plans. Local board feedback is incorporated into the plan to the maximum extent possible.
Consultation	AT leads the project or programme but works with the local board, providing opportunities to input into the plan. If possible, AT incorporates the local board’s feedback into the plan, and if it is not able to, provides clear reasons for that decision.
Informing	AT leads the project or programme informing the local board about progress. Local board members may be asked to provide their local knowledge and insight by AT, however there is no expectation that the project must be modified based on that input.

11. This report includes the following attachments:

· Attachment A provides updates about all projects and programmes currently listed in this local board’s Kōkiri Agreement 2024-2025 and

· Attachment B is a quarterly update on road maintenance activities.

Climate impact statement

12. This report does not have a direct impact on climate, however the projects it refers to will.

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

14. AT reviews the potential climate impacts of all projects and works hard to minimise carbon emissions. AT’s work programme is influenced by council direction through Te-Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

15. The Kōkiri Agreement is a product of the Local Board Relationship Project. AT started the project in response to a 2022 ‘Letter of Expectation’ directive from the Mayor that stated in part that:

“The Statement of Intent 2023-2026 must set out how AT will achieve closer local board involvement in the design and planning stage of local transport projects that affect their communities.”

16. The Kōkiri Agreement gives effect to this intent. AT receives local board feedback via regular engagement. AT also surveys local board members quarterly about engagement, providing an indication of satisfaction.

17. The Kōkiri Agreement was developed working closely with Auckland Council’s Governance and Engagement Department.

18. The Kōkiri Agreement is reported to the Local Board Chair’s Forum on a regular basis.

19. This work relies on historical engagement with both Auckland Council and with other major council-controlled organisations (CCO) through the previous joint CCO engagement plans.

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

Local impacts and local board views

20. The local board endorsed the Kōkiri Agreement 2024-2025 at their 23 July 2024 business meeting. This report provides a quarterly update on projects in the agreement.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

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

22. AT’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

23. The Kōkiri Agreement is focused on AT’s interaction with local boards, as such Māori input was not sought at a programme level. However, when individual projects or operational activities have impact on water or land, Auckland Transport engages with iwi to seek their views. These views are shared in reports seeking decisions from the local board.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

24. Generally, this report has limited financial implications for the local board because Auckland Transport funds all projects and programmes. However, local boards do have a transport budget, called the Local Board Transport Capital Fund.

25. Updates about Local Board Transport Capital Fund projects are included in this report, but financial implications are reported separately, in project specific decision reports.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

26. If a local board provides any formal direction on changes to the Kōkiri Agreement, there are risks to consider. First, the local board needs to be able to commit to the time required for the level of engagement requested. If decisions are not able to be made or are slowed down by local board decision-making, there can be significant financial costs.

27. Auckland Transport suggests that this risk is mitigated by the local board providing sufficient workshop time to allow for timely discussion of activities listed in Kōkiri Agreement.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

28. After local boards receive this report, AT will respond to any additional resolutions.

29. The next quarterly report is planned for March 2025.

Initiation Report: Ngā Tikanga Hopu Wakaahua i te Rohe o Tāmaki Makaurau - Auckland Film Protocol

File No.: CP2024/19412

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To provide a project initiation briefing to local boards on the Auckland Film Protocol Refresh, including the approach to engagement.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. The Auckland Film Protocol outlines the commitments, conditions and guidelines for filming in Tāmaki Makaurau. The objective of the Auckland Film Protocol is to create a film-friendly culture within Auckland Council, council-controlled organisations, and Tāmaki Makaurau to support, attract and retain screen production business. It provides a one-stop shop and a comprehensive reference document for filming in Tāmaki Makaurau, including all the information needed to understand the requirements for filming and meet the needs of several audiences.

3. The refresh commenced in September 2024 and will take approximately 12 months. Screen Auckland will seek final approval of the refreshed protocol from the Policy and Planning Committee in July 2025. Local board views will inform any recommended changes when committee considers approving refreshed Auckland Film Protocol.

4. The refresh does not seek to change the requirements for filming. It will focus on outdated or missing information, including any new requirements, and identify opportunities for streamlining the document to clarify responsibilities and commitments.

5. Given the short timeframe for the refresh and budget constraints, Screen Auckland is seeking to engage with local boards in clusters rather than individually. This approach will provide sufficient opportunity for input recognising the limited scope of the refresh.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Aotea / Great Barrier Local Board:

a) whiwhi / receive the initiation report on the Auckland Film Protocol Refresh

b) whakarite / provide any views on the engagement plan, including a local board cluster approach.

Horopaki

Context

Purpose of Auckland Film Protocol

6. Originally developed in 2013 and revised in 2019, the objective of the Auckland Film Protocol is to create a film-friendly culture within Auckland Council, council-controlled organisations, and Tāmaki Makaurau to support, attract and retain screen production business. It provides a one-stop shop and a comprehensive reference document for filming in Tāmaki Makaurau, including all the information needed to understand the requirements for filming and meet the needs of several audiences. The Auckland Film Protocol outlines the commitments, conditions and guidelines for filming in Tāmaki Makaurau.

7. A key role of the Auckland Film Protocol is to set out the rules for filming in public places supporting the film permit requirements established under Te Ture ā-Rohe Tauhokohoko Whakahaerenga me te Tango Kiriata Tūmatanui - Public Trading, Events and Filming Bylaw, which was updated in 2022. A total of 687 film permits were issued in 2022/2023 and 631 in 2023/2024.

8. Screen Auckland, as part of Tātaki Auckland Unlimited, operates as Auckland’s Regional Film Office supporting New Zealand’s film industry and administers the film permit process to enable filming in public places. Screen Auckland is responsible for the Auckland Film Protocol and will lead the refresh.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Reasons for refresh

9. When the current Auckland Film Protocol was adopted in 2019, it was agreed to review it at least every five years to ensure it remains up to date with relevant policies and regulations.

10. A refresh is required to incorporate new processes around consultation and permitting that have emerged from collaborative work with mana whenua and the screen industry around filming on Sites and Places of Significance to Mana Whenua.

11. The refresh will involve stakeholder engagement and buy-in to support the aspirations of the Auckland Film Industry. Engagement will be undertaken with the screen industry, iwi and hapū, wider Auckland Council whānau and the public.

12. A timeframe of 12 months is identified for the refresh, which commenced in September 2024. Engagement with local boards is required as part of the refresh because the Auckland Film Protocol guides filming in public places. Local boards decide on landowner approvals for filming in public places.

13. The Auckland Film Protocol was last reviewed in 2017/2018 with a focus on updating the content and style as well as strategic requirements. The current refresh does not seek to change the requirements for filming which are working well. It will focus on outdated or missing information, including any new requirements, and identify opportunities for streamlining the document to clarify responsibilities and commitments.

14. Refreshing the document will address the following matters:

a) clarify purpose and objectives

b) streamline the document (e.g. translating content into diagrams or flow charts)

c) remove or update outdated information

d) provide clear language and reduce detail

e) strengthen Māori lens to include Māori outcomes and Sites and Places of Significance to Mana Whenua

f) reflect recent policy or regulatory changes.

15. The refresh will not alter the current film permit process, including local board engagement and landowner approval requirements.

16. In addition, the following matters are identified as out of scope for the refresh because they have been considered through different processes or formed part of the previous review:

a) overall purpose of the document

b) requirement to obtain film permits under the Bylaw

c) Tūpuna Maunga Authority film permit process

d) film permit fees

e) the requirements for filming

f) the process for filming on Sites and Places of Significance

g) international and national comparators review

h) alterations to council bylaws, policies and plans.

Timeline and approach to engagement

17. The refresh commenced in September 2024 and will take approximately 12 months. Table 1 outlines the key milestones and indicative timing of engagement.

Table 1 Auckland Film Protocol Refresh Engagement Milestones

Milestones	Indicative timing
Engage with key internal and external stakeholders to inform the refresh	September – November 2024
Brief the Policy and Planning Committee and local boards of the refresh	November - December 2024
Workshops and report to Policy and Planning Committee for approval of documentation for public consultation	February 2025
Consult with public and key stakeholders	February – April 2005
Report back to local boards	May – June 2025
Report back to Policy and Planning Committee	July 2025
Close the loop – communicate the outcomes of the refresh and promote the refreshed Auckland Film Protocol	August 2025
Evaluate	August 2025

18. Engagement will utilise a range of methodologies to ensure opportunity for input from key stakeholders and the public. An engagement plan is being prepared by Tātaki Auckland Unlimited.

19. A survey went out in early October to those who have applied for a film permit in the last two years, seeking feedback on how the Auckland Film Protocol is used and what’s working and what’s not working. An update on the responses to this survey will be provided at the initiation meeting. Screen Auckland intends to go out for public consultation in February 2025.

Local board engagement approach

20. Given the short timeframe for the refresh and budget constraints, Screen Auckland is seeking to engage with local boards in clusters rather than individually. This approach will provide sufficient opportunity for input recognising the limited scope of the refresh. The previous review required engagement with each of the 21 local boards, including workshops and meetings, significantly adding to the time and costs of the project.

21. Screen Auckland is in the initial phase of the refresh, seeking feedback from internal stakeholders on what information needs to be updated. Screen Auckland is providing an update to local boards on the refresh content and process prior to the public consultation phase. Local board feedback will be sought on recommended amendments prior to seeking approval from the Policy and Planning Committee to adopt the refreshed protocol in July 2025.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

22. The New Zealand screen sector recognises its role in addressing climate change, with Screen Auckland serving as a vital connector, focusing on strategy development, implementation tools and practical steps for the sector.

23. Following a study by Arup in 2022 on New Zealand’s baseline emissions of the screen sector, the sector embraces a vision that aligns with te ao Māori worldview for a sustainable, low-carbon future. This commitment extends beyond local environmental stewardship to international production competitiveness, as the sector implements six key recommendations ranging from purposeful climate action to developing a detailed carbon reduction roadmap and maintaining robust data collection systems.

24. Refreshing the Auckland Film Protocol will provide an opportunity to address any potential policy gaps in the current framework and integrate Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan priorities for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

25. Staff from the following business units and council-controlled organisations will be engaged through the refresh to ensure they are aware of the impact of the Auckland Film Protocol and have the opportunity to input:

· Planning and Resource Consents (including Heritage)

· Building Consents

· Environmental Services

· Parks and Community Facilities (including Co-governance and Tūpuna Maunga Authority)

· Regulatory Practice (bylaws)

· Auckland Transport (including Harbourmaster)

· Eke Panuku Development Auckland

· Screen Auckland.

26. Initial contact has been made with some of these business units with engagement progressing through October and November 2024.

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

Local impacts and local board views

27. The Auckland Film Protocol outlines the code of conduct that enables filming in public places. A core commitment of the document is that Auckland Council and members of the wider council organisation will say yes to filming unless there are good reasons not to.

28. Local boards decide on landowner approvals for filming in public places. Authority to grant film permits under the Public Trading, Events and Filming Bylaw is delegated to Screen Auckland.

29. Once approved, a film permit grants use of a public place to an agreed level of access. Continued public access, to the extent that is possible and reasonable, while filming is underway is required. Screen Auckland acts as the ‘go-between’ for production companies and the local boards to obtain landowner approvals.

30. A survey of Auckland Council’s People’s Panel in June 2023 indicates the Auckland Film Protocol is working well:

a) 87 per cent agreed filming creates job opportunities

b) 81 per cent agreed it’s good for tourism

c) Seven out of 10 (70 per cent) would like more professional film productions in Auckland

d) 85 per cent of those who encountered filming were either not impacted or positively impacted by the most recent filming encountered

e) For those negatively impacted, common pain points were limited access to a public area (46 per cent), road closures/having to use alternative route (44 per cent), and parking being blocked (43 per cent)

f) Comments for reducing negative impacts included improved signage, more notice, and taking up less parking

g) Residents identified that they would like to be contacted with information on days/times the production will be there (91 per cent), contact details if there are any issues (76 per cent), what impacts to expect (76 per cent).

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

31. Refreshing the Auckland Film Protocol will provide an opportunity to:

· strengthen the Māori lens to reflect mana whenua consultation requirements

· incorporate the new film permit process developed for filming on Sites and Places of Significance to Mana Whenua.

32. Engagement with mana whenua will continue in the collaborative manner undertaken to develop Proposed Plan Change 106 Filming on Sites and Places of Significance to Mana Whenua notified on 26 September 2024. Through engagement on the plan change, a new process has been established for consultation with mana whenua for film permit applications, with supporting email templates to notify mana whenua of all filming activities and require engagement on certain filming activities. Further refinement of the specific film permit process for Sites and Places of Significance will be an outcome of this refresh.

33. Many Māori are involved in the screen industry both in front and behind the camera, and the film industry provide opportunities for Māori to share their stories both locally and internationally. Engagement with the screen industry will include Ngā Aho Whakaari Māori in Screen.

34. Screen Auckland has been working with Te Kawerau ā Maki to develop a cultural competency course as a pilot programme to support Māori location/production managers in engaging with local iwi and hapū. This course helps to support better outcomes for mana whenua by ensuring that appropriate tikanga is followed.

Financial implications

35. The refresh will be undertaken within current budgets and includes budget for a consultant to assist in the refresh including engagement.

Local board input to Auckland Council’s submission to the Justice Select Committee on the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill

File No.: CP2024/19765

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To invite input from local boards to an Auckland Council submission to the Justice Select Committee on the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

Timeline

2. At the 14 November 2024 Policy and Planning Committee meeting, council staff were asked to investigate opportunities to develop an Auckland Council submission on the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill (the Bill).

3. On 29 November 2024 a memo was circulated to all local board members providing an initial introduction to the Bill and outlining opportunities for local board involvement (Attachment A)

4. A report will be taken to the 12 December 2024 Policy and Planning committee meeting setting out the proposed key elements of the submission and seeking a delegation to approve the council’s submission.

5. Feedback from local boards is due 12 December 2024. Please note that due to tight timeframes this may not align with scheduled local board business meetings and any input from local boards may need to either be delegated or utilise the urgent decision process.

The Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill

6. The purpose of the Bill is to set out the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi in legislation and to require that those principles must be used when interpreting legislation.

7. There has been considerable commentary from Treaty and legal experts that the Bill and its defined principles do not reflect the texts or meaning of Te Tiriti o Waitangi / the Treaty of Waitangi and the exchange of promises agreed to by the Crown and Rangatira.

Treaty of Waitangi Principles

8. The principles developed by the Courts and the Waitangi Tribunal have been developed over time to reflect the spirit and intent of both texts of the Treaty and the mutual obligations and responsibilities of the parties, and to enable the Treaty to adapt to changing circumstances.

9. The current list of Treaty Principles is neither conclusive nor exhaustive and could vary over time.

Other matters

10. The Bill in its current form has not been informed by engagement with Māori.

11. Both the National and NZ First coalition government partners have indicated they will not support the Bill past the First Reading.

12. The Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill can be found here:

https://bills.parliament.nz/v/Bill/227e6d0b-e632-42eb-cffe-08dcfeb826c6?Tab=history

13. Further information and summary documents on the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill can be found here:

https://www.justice.govt.nz/justice-sector-policy/key-initiatives/a-treaty-principles-bill/

Likely themes for Auckland Council submission

14. Council’s submission would recognise that the Bill is unlikely to receive the support needed to progress beyond its first reading.

15. It would provide a high-level summary of potential impacts to Auckland Council should the Bill be enacted.

16. The submission would outline council’s existing strategic framework which embeds and articulates council’s approach to delivering its Te Tiriti o Waitangi-based obligations. The submission would then outline the following high-level themes:

· advice on the bill with a focus on:

o procedural issues including:

§ development of the bill (lack of engagement with Māori).

§ timing of submission period.

· support for robust Crown engagement with mana whenua to maintain the Crown-Māori relationship

· support for a well-developed long-term national constitutional conversation on Te Tiriti o Waitangi (enabled through partnership with Māori)

· support for greater Crown resourcing and support for civic education to facilitate understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the development of a Te Tiriti o Waitangi education strategy

· stating the view that as local government is an integral part of New Zealand’s constitutional arrangements it should be engaged with on a wider constitutional conversation regarding Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi; and

· support for any conversation regarding New Zealand’s constitutional conversation arrangements to clarify the role of local government in relationship to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
