3	Local Board Workshop

Item 1 – 1.30-2.15pm

Development Contributions 2025 proposal

Presenter/s: Tracey Wisnewski

(Project Manager, Financial Strategy)

Brigid Duffield

(Chief Advisor Growth Infrastructure Funding and Financing, Planning and Resource Consents)

Holly Berry

(Senior Programme Manager, Planning and Resource Consents)

Summary of Discussions

· Development contributions are a cost recovery.

· The Chair asked about the growth and infrastructure planning and at what stage is growth and infrastructure planned?

· Staff noted the concept of the levy is that growth will occur across the city, but are not sure where. An average is calculated across the city of what staff predict, making an aggregate charge so that money is already in place, so when growth occurs it can be paid for.

· The Chair asked how can Manurewa make sure that development levies that occur in Manurewa, stay in Manurewa, to ensure growth here as Manurewa is growing up not out.

· Development contributions do not cover schools. However, the Ministry of Education do look at plans to see how their long term plan could align.

· Importance on advocating for Manurewa projects to be in the Long Term Plan.

· Board members asked how this would differ from events and programmes that already occur in Manurewa. Staff noted that this programme would work with community partners to help build on and strengthen what is already occurring in Manurewa.

Peter Scott

(Asset Manager Road Corridor, Auckland Transport)

Tek Chin

(Contract Manager - South Urban, Auckland Transport)

Euan Ross

(Stakeholder Manager Road Maintenance, Auckland Transport)

Summary of Discussions

Auckland Transport gave a presentation to the board on road resurfacing, discussing how it works, the different materials, as well as the cost and budget.

· The Chair asked about the details of accountability of contractors, especially for sweeping after the sealing.

· A member expressed for more notice to the residents on the street where sweeping is occurring so that the sweeping can be more thorough as some sweeping is halted by parked cars on the side of the road.

· Staff note that a coarser chip would be used for high volume roads that do not qualify for asphalt.

· There have been constraints both from NZTA and Auckland Council which has impacted on the delivery of road sealing. Funding should be increasing in the next financial.

· Staff note that a targeted rate could be an option as other local board areas have targeted rates for general transport which could cover road resurfacing.
