Draft Storm Affected Land Use Policy
File No.: CP2025/02674
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To invite the views and preferences of the local board on the proposed policy and implementation approach.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. Auckland Council will be purchasing around 1200 residential properties that have been assessed as having an intolerable risk to life (Category 3). The Auckland Crown Funding Agreement specifies that, when the council takes ownership of the properties, it also assumes all responsibilities, costs and revenues associated with the properties.
3. The management of properties includes three key components: interim maintenance and risk management, the house removal programme, and the storm affected land use programme to determine appropriate future uses.
4. Once dwellings are cleared, sites are remediated to a safe and tidy state, for entry into the storm affected land use programme. The draft policy and implementation approach for storm affected land use is attached as Attachment A, for consideration and feedback. This builds on the interim guidelines for future use of land, agreed by the Governing Body in May 2024 (GB/2024/55), and is informed by analysis of properties that are now in council ownership.
5. The policy identifies that land will be either divested to another party, transferred within the Auckland Council Group to meet an identified service need, or held by the council where the land is assessed as being highly hazardous.
6. Initial analysis suggests that around 50 per cent of the properties could be safely divested and return some revenue to the council to help fund the storm recovery programme, in accordance with resolution TICCC/2024/146(k).
7. A complex cases team is being established to work through the solutions for a small number of Category 3 properties with complicating factors that may constrain the council’s decision-making abilities. These include properties held in unit title and some cross-lease properties, and properties where risks could potentially be mitigated and dwellings retained.
8. The Draft Storm Affected Land Use Policy was endorsed-in-principle by the Transport, Resilience and Infrastructure Committee on 13 February 2025 (TICCC/2025/12(d)).
9. The Governing Body, through the Policy and Planning Committee, will be considering the Draft Storm Affected Land Use Policy for adoption on 13 March 2025.
10. Local boards were briefed on 3 February 2025 (Attachment B), and now have the opportunity to provide feedback if they wish to do so, by 5pm on Thursday 27 February.
Recommendation/s
That the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board:
a) provide feedback on the Draft Storm Affected Land Use Policy.
