Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek approval to name three new public roads and name the extension of three public roads, created by way of a subdivision development at 104 Fred Taylor Drive, Whenuapai.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines set out the requirements and criteria of the council 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 to suggest their preferred new road name/s for the local board’s approval.

3.       The developer and applicant, New South Development 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 104 Fred Taylor Drive, Whenuapai are:

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      whakaae / approve as follows names for the extension of three public roads created by way of subdivision undertaken by New South Development Limited at 104 Fred Taylor Drive, Whenuapai, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60419881, SUB60419883, road naming reference RDN90120734).

i.          Tarapuka Road (Road 1)

ii.         Mahogany Street (Road 2)

iii.         Kiekie Street (Road 3).

b)      whakaae / approve the following names for the three new public roads below created by way of subdivision undertaken by New South Development Limited at 104 Fred Taylor Drive, Whenuapai, in accordance with section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act 1974 (resource consent references BUN60419881, SUB60419883, road naming reference RDN90120734).

iv.        Marata Street (Road 4)

i.          Coprosma Street (Road 5)

Horopaki

Context

6.       Resource consent reference BUN60419881 (subdivision reference number SUB60419883) was issued in April 2024 for the construction of 163 dwellings, subdivision and new public roads to serve the development.

7.       The site and location plans of the development can be found in Attachment A and B to the agenda report.

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.       Therefore, in this development, the new public roads require a name. The roads to be named can be seen in Attachment A.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

10.     The Auckland Council Road Naming Guidelines (the guidelines) set out the requirements and criteria of the council for proposed road names. These requirements and criteria have been applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming across the Auckland region. 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 to suggest their preferred new road name/s for the local board’s approval.

11.     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.

Theme: The theme for the proposed names is native vegetation.

12.     Assessment: All the name options listed in the table above 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 and duplicate names are not located in close proximity.  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.

13.     Confirmation: Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has confirmed that all of the proposed names are acceptable for use at this location.

14.     Road Type: ‘Road’ and ‘Street’ are acceptable road types for the new public roads, suiting their form and layout.

15.     Consultation: Mana whenua were consulted in line with the processes and requirements described in the guidelines. Additional commentary is provided in the Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori section that follows.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

16.     The naming of roads has no effect on 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

17.     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

18.     The decision sought for this report does not trigger any significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate local impact beyond those outlined in this report.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

19.     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 and in this instance, the process has been adhered to.

20.     On 20 August and 9 September 92024, the applicant’s agent sought feedback on names proposed from the representatives of the following groups with an interest in the general area:

·    Ngāti Pāoa (Ngāti Paoa Iwi Trust)

·    Ngāti Te Ata (Te Ara Rangatu o Te Iwi o Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua)

·    Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara

·    Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei

·    Te Ākitai Waiohua (Te Ākitai Waiohua Iwi Authority)

·    Te Kawerau ā Maki

·    Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua.

21.     Following feedback received from LINZ, the names originally proposed were amended. The new names (that are currently proposed) were again sent to the groups listed above on November 26th, 2024, for feedback.

22.     To date, no response has been received. Dependent on the scale of a development and its level of significance, not all road naming applications receive feedback from mana whenua. The applicant now wishes to continue to a decision from the local board.

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

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

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

25.     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

26.     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

27.     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.

Local board views on proposed plan change 106 for filming on Sites and Places of Significance to Mana Whenua

File No.: CP2025/00458

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek local board views on proposed plan change 106 (PC 106) which identifies temporary filming activities on Sites and Places of Significance to Mana Whenua (SPSMW) on public places as a permitted activity.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Decision-makers (independent commissioners) on a plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan (AUP) must consider local boards’ views on the plan change, if the local boards choose to provide their views.

3.       The purpose of PC 106 is to identify temporary filming activities on SPSMW in council-controlled public places as a permitted activity (i.e. no resource consent required). A film permit will still be required under the Te Ture ā-Rohe Tauhokohoko Whakahaerenga me te Tango Kiriata Tūmatanui 2022 Public Trading, Events and Filming Bylaw 2022 (the Bylaw)

4.       A local board can present local views when expressed by the whole local board. This report provides the mechanism for the local board to resolve and provide its views on PC 106.  Staff do not recommend what view the local board should convey.

5.       Local boards received a memorandum on the draft plan change before it was finalised and notified for submissions. The submission and further submissions periods have closed. A total of 10 submissions were received, and no further submissions were received.  The key themes of the submissions are support from screen industry, opposition to PC 106 unless amendments are made, and the application of PC 106 to Tūpuna Maunga Authority administered land.

6.       This report seeks the views of the local board on proposed plan change 106. Next steps involve incorporating local board resolutions on proposed plan change 106 into the section 42A hearing report. Appointed local board members will be notified and invited to present their views at the hearing.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      whakarite / provide its views on proposed plan change 106

b)      kopou / appoint a local board member to speak to the local board views at a hearing on proposed plan change 106

c)       tautapa / delegate authority to the chairperson of the Henderson-Massey Local Board to make a replacement appointment in the event the local board member appointed in resolution b) is unable to attend the plan change hearing.

 

Horopaki

Context

Decision-making authority

7.       Local boards are responsible for communicating the interests and preferences of people in its area regarding the content of Auckland Council’s strategies, policies, plans, and bylaws. Local boards provide their views on the content of these documents.  Decision-makers must consider local boards’ views when deciding the content of these policy documents (ss15-16 Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009).

8.       A plan change will be included in the AUP if it is approved. Local boards must have the opportunity to provide their views on council-initiated plan changes.

9.       If the local board chooses to provide its views, the reporting planner will include those views verbatim, and address them, along with issues raised by submitters, in the subsequent hearing report prepared under section 42A of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA).

10.     A local board member, appointed by resolution, may present the local board’s views at the hearing of submissions by commissioners, who then make decisions on the proposed plan change.

11.     This report provides an overview of PC 106, and a summary of the key themes from submissions.  The report author cannot advise the local board on what its views should be. 

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

Plan change overview

12.     The purpose of PC 106 is to remove the requirement for a resource consent by identifying temporary filming activities as a permitted activity in the AUP. Filming activities will still require a Film Permit from Screen Auckland (the regional film office for Auckland, based within Tātaki Auckland Unlimited) in accordance with the Bylaw. Currently, there is duplication of process for filming, as it requires both a resource consent to comply with the AUP and a film permit to comply with the Bylaw.

13.     Amendments to AUP Chapter D21 Sites and Places of Significance to Mana Whenua are proposed to identify temporary filming activities (up to 30 days) as a permitted activity on SPSMW that are also public places.  This status is subject to a standard that requires no land disturbance, that filming is undertaken in accordance with a site plan, and that it complies with any special conditions approved under the Auckland Council Film Permit. No changes are proposed to Schedule 12 of the AUP, which lists the SPSMW.

14.     The film permit process ensures that filming activities respect the cultural values of the SPSMW and follow appropriate tikanga, while enabling people and communities to provide for their social, economic, and cultural well-being to achieve sustainable management.

15.     Cultural values and mana whenua associations with SPSMW are protected and enhanced through the film permit process by requiring direct engagement with mana whenua and their participation in decision-making. This ensures that appropriate tikanga is considered, site plans and/or special conditions are applied where necessary, access for customary activities (i.e. mahinga kai) can be identified, and restricted areas, where toilets or food preparation must be avoided, are implemented to protect wāhi tapu and any tangible and/or intangible values of sites and places.

16.     Supporting documentation is available from council’s website at: https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/plans-projects-policies-reports-bylaws/our-plans-strategies/unitary-plan/auckland-unitary-plan-modifications/Pages/details.aspx?UnitaryPlanId=272.

17.     Council’s reporting planner will prepare a section 42A report for PC 106 for consideration by the independent hearings commissioners that evaluates and reports on:

·     the contents of PC 106

·     submissions (noting that no further submissions were received)

·     views and preferences of the local board, if the local board passes a resolution.

Themes from submissions received

18.     Submissions were made by 10 people.  Nine submissions were supportive, one was in opposition, and no submissions were neutral.  Key submission themes are listed below.   

·    Support from the screen industry

·    Oppose the plan change unless amendments are made

·    Application of PC 106 to Tūpuna Maunga administered land.

Support from the screen industry

19.     Several submissions supporting PC 106 are from members of the screen industry, seeking that it be approved without any amendments. Some clarification is also sought regarding what qualifies as “disturbance”, as AUP Standard D21.6.4(1)(b) provides for filming activities as a permitted activity as long as it does not involve “land disturbance”.

Oppose subject to amendments

20.     One submitter (Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei) opposes PC 106 unless amendments are made to recognise the hapū or iwi with the strongest relationship to the filming location. Specific provisions are sought to be retained or removed to better reflect local hapū and iwi acknowledgement.

Application of PC 106 to Tūpuna Maunga Authority administered land

21.     PC 106 currently excludes land administered by Tūpuna Maunga Authority. The Tūpuna Maunga Authority seeks amendments to PC 106 to enable temporary filming as a permitted activity on land it administers.

22.     Information on individual submissions and the summary of all decisions requested by submitters is available from council’s website: https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/UnitaryPlanDocuments/pc-106-sdr-and-subs.pdf

Climate impact statement

Context

23.     Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan sets out Auckland’s climate goals:

·    to adapt to the impacts of climate change by planning for the changes we will face (climate adaptation)

·    to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050 (climate mitigation).

24.     Both of council’s climate goals (climate adaptation and climate mitigation) are relevant and align with the requirement for RMA decision-makers to:

·    have particular regard to the effects of climate change (section 7(i) RMA), and

·    have regard to any emissions reduction plan and any national adaptation plan prepared under the Climate Change Response Act 2002 (section 74(2) RMA) when preparing or changing a district plan. 

25.     Consequently, any local board views on climate adaptation and/or climate mitigation will be considered by the independent hearing commissioners when hearing submissions on PC 106.   

Local board views - climate

26.     The following prompts are included to assist the local board in forming any view (should it wish to do so) regarding climate mitigation and/or adaptation:

·    How will PC 106 affect greenhouse gas emissions, if at all?

·    How will PC 106 affect private motor vehicle trips, connections to and availability of public transport, walking and cycling infrastructure, if at all?

·    Will climate risks, such as flooding, increased heat, coastal erosion, or extreme weather events be neutral, alleviated or elevated by PC 106?

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

27.     No council groups have submitted on PC 106. The following council groups were consulted and provided an opportunity to provide feedback on the draft plan change:

a)   Māori Heritage Team

b)   Resource Consents

c)   Auckland Transport.

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

Local impacts and local board views

28.     The purpose of PC 106 is to enable temporary filming activities on SPSMW in public places without the need for a resource consent.

29.     A total of 18 out of the 21 local boards currently have SPSMW in public places that would be covered by PC 106 (noting that additional sites will be added over time). In terms of film permit applications, local boards are responsible for landowner approval for local parks and are notified of any film permit applications. This will not change.

30.     Local boards have been kept informed of PC 106 as it has developed with memorandums in November 2022 and September 2024.

31.     Factors the local board may wish to consider in formulating its view:

·    interests and preferences of people in the local board area

·    well-being of communities within the local board area

·    local board documents, such as local board plan, local board agreement

·    responsibilities and operation of the local board.

32.     The decision-maker will consider local board views, if provided, when deciding on PC 106.    

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

33.     Council is required to consult with iwi authorities when preparing a plan change. The plan change has been developed in consultation with the 19 iwi authorities (mana whenua) through a series of engagements since December 2022. This engagement has occurred through pānui updates, engagement summary reports, kānohi ki te kānohi hui, collaborative working group hui, emails and telephone calls.

 

34.     Prior to notifying PC 106 the following positions of mana whenua were understood:

·    11 support in principle a plan change

·    1 generally supports PC 106 subject to amendments; otherwise, opposes

·    3 have not provided formal feedback, but comments made by them have been considered

·    2 do not oppose PC 106

·    1 defers to others

·    1 prefers kaupapa to go through the Mana Whenua Forum.

35.     Feedback from mana whenua on PC 106 supports an approach that provides for filming in public places as a permitted activity with permitted standards, and for mana whenua to have an increased role in decision-making for activities occurring on SPSMW. The importance of not undermining the SPSMW in AUP Schedule 12 and the provisions in AUP Chapter D21 was also emphasised as protection of the values of sites and places. All sites have their own pūrākau (stories), and iwi/hapū have individual tikanga for these sites.

36.     Feedback from mana whenua directly informed the wording of PC 106. The only feedback not incorporated into PC 106 relates to amendments sought to recognise the ‘local’ or ‘appropriate’ iwi.

37.     Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei is the only iwi that submitted on PC 106. Their submission seeks that Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei’s ahi kā and mana whenua status within the ‘heartland’ of their rohe is recognised and provided for in the relevant amendments that are proposed to AUP Chapter D21 through PC 106.  They also seek that their reo and identity is seen, heard and provided for in any filming on sites and places of significance that Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei are the tangata whenua. Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei are generally supportive of PC 106, but oppose it unless the amendments sought are incorporated to ensure the tangata whenua of the place where filming activities will take place on SPSMW are appropriately engaged with and involved in the decision-making.

38.     Tātaki Auckland Unlimited – Screen Auckland have developed a draft SPSMW film permit process in collaboration with mana whenua. The draft SPSMW film permit process has a strong focus on relationship and engagement to enable ongoing collaboration to develop and integrate mana motuhake, tikanga Māori, the pūrākau and mauri of SPSMW.

39.     The key elements of the draft SPSMW film permit process include:

·    requirement to engage all mana whenua identified through the council’s contact tool

·    applicants are encouraged to engage early to understand the implications of filming

·    film facilitators inform mana whenua of all filming applications affecting SPSMW and confirm whether engagement has occurred

·    timeframe to process applications is 20-25 days (compared to 3-5 for general applications)

·    film facilitators confirm permit conditions with mana whenua

·    where proposals are not supported by mana whenua, applicants will be directed to alternative sites.

40.     Information requirements for film permit applications on SPSMW will be similar to those required by Tūpuna Maunga o Tamaki Makaurau Authority for the 14 co-governed tūpuna maunga.

41.     The reporting planner will include in the hearing report an analysis of Part 2 of the RMA, which requires that all persons exercising RMA functions take into account the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Sites of Significance is an issue of significance identified in the Schedule of Issues of Significance (2021) and the Māori Plan 2017 (Houkura Independent Māori Statutory Board), where it states on page 23 that:

Mana Whenua are enabled to maintain and protect sites of significance to reaffirm connections to the whenua and preserve for future generations.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

42.     PC 106 does not pose any financial implications for local boards’ assets or operations.

43.     Costs for the plan-making process are met by existing council budgets. 

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

44.     The local board will be unable to provide its views and preferences on PC 106, if it does not pass a resolution. This report provides:

·    the mechanism for the local board to express its views and preferences

·    the opportunity for a local board member to speak at a hearing.

45.     If the local board chooses not to pass a resolution at this business meeting, these opportunities are forgone.

46.     The power to provide local board views regarding the content of a plan change cannot be delegated to individual local board member(s) (Local Government Act 2002, Sch 7, cls 36D)This report therefore enables the whole local board to decide whether to provide its views and, if so, to determine what matters those views should include.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

47.     The reporting planner will include, and report on, any resolution from any local board in the forthcoming section 42A hearing report. Local board member(s) appointed to speak to specific local board’s views will be informed of the hearing date and invited to the hearing. 

48.     The reporting planner will advise the local boards of the decision on PC 106 by memorandum.

Public feedback report on the traffic bylaw review

File No.: CP2025/01436

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To receive local board views on how the Joint Bylaw Panel should address public feedback on the proposed Vehicle Use and Parking Bylaw 2025 and its supporting proposals.

2.       To recommend delegating a member to represent these views to the Joint Bylaw Panel.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

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

4.       The current rules are set out in several documents:

·        Auckland Transport Traffic Bylaw 2012

·        Auckland Council’s Traffic Bylaw 2015

·        Public Safety and Nuisance Bylaw 2013 (covering use of vehicles on beaches).

5.       Auckland Transport and Auckland Council are conducting a review of these bylaws to identify efficiencies and possible improvements.

6.       The proposed new Vehicle Use and Parking Bylaw 2025, including changes to some topics in the proposed new bylaw and changes to rules in other bylaws (referred to as the “supporting proposals”), is provided as Attachment A of the agenda report.

7.       In August and September 2024 (page 391), all local boards provided feedback on the draft options and draft recommendations. Local boards generally supported the recommended option for each topic and provided feedback on some topics such as berm parking and parking on beaches. Staff considered the local board feedback in drafting the proposals which went out for public consultation.

8.       Public consultation on the proposals took place from Monday 4 November to Monday 4 December 2024 (inclusive) and public hearings were held on 6 December 2024.

9.       This report seeks the local board views on how the Joint Bylaw Panel should address matters raised in public feedback (included as Attachment B of the agenda report) to the proposed new bylaw and supporting proposals. This report also recommends delegating a local board member to present these views to the panel. 

10.     The bylaw panel deliberation is scheduled for 2 May 2025. This is where the panel will discuss and deliberate on the public feedback and local board and mana whenua views. Local boards can delegate a representative to speak at the hearings if desired.

11.     The Auckland Transport Board and the Auckland Council Governing Body will make a final decision on the proposals in June 2025 based on the recommendations from the bylaw panel.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      whakarite / provide views on how the Joint Bylaw Panel should address matters raised in public feedback on the proposed Vehicle Use and Parking Bylaw 2025, including the supporting proposals, included as Attachment B to this report

b)      tāpae / delegate local board member(s) to represent these views to the Joint Bylaw Panel.

Horopaki

Context

Traffic bylaws

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

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

a)   Auckland Transport Traffic Bylaw 2012

Covers the requirements for parking and control of traffic on roads under the care, control, or management of Auckland Transport.

b)   Auckland Council Traffic Bylaw 2015

Covers traffic management in public places, like parks, beaches, off-street parking facilities (like libraries and community centres) and council-owned car parking buildings.

c)   Auckland Council Public Safety and Nuisance Bylaw 2013

Covers use of vehicles on beaches.

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

15.     The bylaws establish a framework for regulating vehicle use, traffic and parking on Auckland’s transport system and on council-controlled land. For example, they enable the creation of bus lanes, but the specific locations are determined later through resolutions. This approach allows for flexibility to address changing location-specific needs over time. 

16.     Some bylaw provisions are not site-specific. These apply when Auckland Transport requires consistent rules across all locations, without the need for site-specific resolutions, for example, prohibiting abandoned vehicles on roads or in public places.

Reviewing Auckland’s traffic bylaws

17.     Auckland Transport and Auckland Council are conducting a joint review of Auckland’s traffic-related bylaws to ensure they continue to meet the needs of Aucklanders. This review considered legislative and technological changes, as well as expert feedback on ways to improve bylaw effectiveness.

18.     The Regulatory and Community Safety Committee on 2 July 2024 endorsed the findings report and requested an options report and proposal (resolution number RCSC/2024/48).

19.     In August and September 2024, all local boards provided feedback on the draft options and draft recommendations. Local boards generally supported the recommended option for each topic and provided feedback on some topics such as berm parking and parking on beaches. Some feedback focused on operational, public consultation or non-bylaw related matters and were referred to the relevant teams where appropriate.

20.     Following this, a draft Vehicle Use and Parking Bylaw 2025, including the supporting proposals, was developed for public consultation.

21.     The Regulatory and Community Safety Committee and the AT Design and Delivery Committee endorsed the draft proposals and public consultation on 8 October 2024.

22.     The Auckland Council Governing Body and the Auckland Transport Board adopted the statement of proposal and approved the conduct of public consultation on 24 October 2024 and 29 October 2024, respectively.

23.     Public consultation took place from Monday 4 November to Monday 4 December 2024 (inclusive). Public hearings were held on 6 December 2024 at 20 Viaduct Harbour Avenue, Auckland. A total of 196 submissions were received: 181 through the online survey, 13 via mail and email and two verbal submissions. Public feedback is included in this report as Attachment B of the agenda report.

24.     This report seeks the local board views on how the Joint Bylaw Panel should address matters raised in public feedback on the proposed Vehicle Use and Parking Bylaw 2025, including the supporting proposals (refer to Attachment A of the agenda report).

25.     The final views from local boards will guide the bylaw panel during the deliberations on 2 May 2025. Local boards also have the option of sending a representative to share their views in person.

26.     The Auckland Transport Board and the Auckland Council Governing Body will make a final decision on the bylaw proposals in June 2025 based on the recommendations from the bylaw panel.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

27.     Auckland Transport subject matter experts met with and discussed the traffic bylaw review with the Henderson-Massey Local Board at a workshop on 6 August 2024.

28.     Before that workshop, Auckland Transport and Auckland Council staff reviewed the bylaws across 18 different topics to identify if there were problems, whether the bylaws helped address those problems, and if there were any alternatives or improvements.

29.     The Auckland Transport Board and Auckland Council Governing Body adopted the Statement of Proposal and approved the material for public consultation. The finalised proposals included:

a)   creating a new joint AT and AC Te Ture ā-Rohe mō te Whakamahinga me te Whakatūnga Waka 2025 | Vehicle Use and Parking Bylaw to combine the Auckland Transport Traffic Bylaw 2012, Auckland Council Traffic Bylaw 2015 and clause 16 of the Auckland Council Public Safety and Nuisance Bylaw 2013 (main proposal).

b)   making supporting changes (supporting proposals) by clarifying and improving the following six topics in the proposed new joint bylaw

·        launching of boats on beaches and obtaining beach driving permits

·        regulations for heavy vehicles

·        parking vehicles off a roadway

·        busways, busway stations, and park & rides

·        resident parking

·        temporary traffic and parking rules for special events.

c)   moving (or removing) the following seven rules from the current bylaws:

·        establishing shared zones, parking zones, parking places, and transport stations

·        setting new speed limits on council-controlled land

·        parking for display or sale

·        broken down vehicles on a road or public place

·        leaving machinery or goods on a road or public place

·        repairing or modifying vehicles on a road in in a public place

·        priority on cycle paths or shared paths.

d)   clarifying and improving other rules in the AC and AT Signs Bylaw 2022, AT Activities in the Road Corridor Bylaw 2022, and AC Public Safety and Nuisance Bylaw 2013 that relate to certain activities involving vehicles.

30.     The key insights from public consultation are as follows:

a)      The proposals were well received by the public. The main proposal was largely supported, with 83 per cent of respondents expressing no concerns. Most respondents had no comments or concerns about the supporting proposals.

b)      Parking vehicles off the roadway received the most attention, with 35 per cent of respondents overall commenting on the topic. Most people who provided comments (88 per cent) expressed support for changes to reduce parking on berms. Those who raised concerns with the topic (10 per cent) frequently mentioned the need for berm parking, especially where limited on-street parking is available.

c)      New heavy traffic parking regulations were also largely supported by submitters (79 per cent of those who commented on the topic). There were some concerns from the industry perspective, specifically about rest breaks or overnight spaces for drivers to sleep, particularly for out-of-town companies.

d)      The only topic that was not supported was the proposal to remove user priority on cycle paths and shared paths. Respondents requested that it remains in Auckland’s traffic bylaws as it aims to protect vulnerable road users, particularly people travelling on foot and bicycle.

e)      Community concerns about the topic of repairing or modifying vehicles in public spaces are centred around its enforcement – respondents wanted assurance that people experiencing an emergency would not be fined.

31.     The draft Vehicle Use and Parking Bylaw 2025, including the supporting proposals, will be reviewed and deliberated by the Joint Bylaw Panel in May 2025.

32.     Local boards are encouraged to speak in front of the panel. Local boards can delegate a representative to speak at the hearings through this report. 

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

36.     This review was conducted jointly by Auckland Transport and Auckland Council.

37.     Relevant staff from several council operational units impacted have also participated in the review findings and improvements addressed in the options report and proposal. These staff are aware of the impacts of the proposal and their implementation role. This includes Regional Parks, Parks and Community Facilities, Compliance Response and Investigations, Waste Solutions, Event Facilitation, Regional Operations, Active Communities, Connected Communities, and Growth, Transport and Infrastructure Strategy units.

38.     All units were in favour of combining the traffic-related bylaws into a new joint bylaw.

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

Local impacts and local board views

39.     The local board was briefed on the review on 6 August 2024 providing an opportunity to receive quality advice about the review and its finding. The response from both elected members and staff supporting local boards was positive about the review.

40.     Local boards generally supported the recommended options and provided feedback on topics like berm and beach parking. Operational, consultation, or non-bylaw matters were referred to relevant teams as needed.

41.     AT and AC staff considered the local board feedback in drafting the proposals which went out for public consultation.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

42.     AT and AC are committed to meeting the responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its broader legal obligations in being more responsible or effective to Māori.

43.     AT’s Māori Responsiveness Plan outlines the 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 Auckland Transport website - https://at.govt.nz/about-us/transport-plans-strategies/maori-responsiveness-plan/#about

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

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

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

46.     This decision has no financial implications for the local board as Auckland Transport funds all its projects and programmes.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

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

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

48.     The Joint Bylaw Panel will review and deliberate all submissions about the draft proposed Vehicle Use and Parking Bylaw 2025, including the supporting proposals, in May 2025. Prior to the deliberations, local boards are encouraged to speak to the panel.

49.     The Auckland Transport Board and Auckland Council Governing Body will deliberate on the Vehicle Use and Parking Bylaw 2025, including supporting proposals. If adopted, it will come into effect in July 2025. The AT Board will adopt provisions for the transport system, while the AC Governing Body will adopt those for council-controlled land.

Financial implications

21.     This report is provided to enable the Henderson-Massey Local Board to monitor the organisation’s progress and performance in delivering the 2024/2025 work programme. There are no financial implications associated with this report.

Financial Performance

22.     Auckland Council (Council) currently has a number of bonds quoted on the NZ Stock Exchange (NZX). As a result, the Council is subject to obligations under the NZX Main Board & Debt Market Listing Rules and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 sections 97 and 461H. These obligations restrict the release of half-year financial reports and results until the Auckland Council Group results are released to the NZX on or about 28 February 2025. Due to these obligations the financial performance attached to the quarterly report is excluded from the public.

Risks and mitigations

23.     While the risk of non-delivery of the entire work programme is rare, the likelihood for risk relating to individual activities does vary. Capital projects for instance, are susceptible to more risk as on-time and on-budget delivery is dependent on weather conditions, approvals (e.g. building consents) and is susceptible to market conditions.

24.     The approved Customer and Community Services capex work programme include projects identified as part of the Risk Adjusted Programme (RAP).  These are projects that the Community Facilities delivery team will progress, if possible, in advance of the programmed delivery year. This flexibility in delivery timing will help to achieve 100 per cent financial delivery for the financial year if projects intended for delivery in the current financial year are delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.

25.     Information about any significant risks and how they are being managed and/or mitigated is addressed in the ‘Activities with significant issues’ section.
