Draft Storm
Affected Land Use Policy
File No.: CP2025/02796
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 to the agenda
report, 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 to the agenda report), and
now have the opportunity to provide feedback if they wish to do so, by 5.00 pm
on Thursday 27 February 2025.
11. Due
to not receiving a report in time for the 19 February 2025 business meeting,
Pursuant to Standing Orders 2.3.3, an Emergency Meeting of the Rodney Local
Board is being called to provide and resolve on feedback on the Auckland
Council’s Draft Storm Affected Land Use Policy.
12. Approved
feedback for inclusion in the report to be considered by the Policy and
Planning Committee on 13 March 2025 will be provided following this meeting.
