Henderson-Massey Play Plan 2025

File No.: CP2025/05885

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To adopt the Henderson-Massey Play Plan 2025, which provides guidance on emerging play issues and opportunities for non-playground play projects.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Henderson-Massey Play Plan 2025 provides Henderson-Massey Local Board with general information and specific project suggestions to increase the range of play opportunities it offers.

3.       The play plan has been developed with community and council staff guidance. The local board has provided feedback on an earlier draft of the document. The final version of the Henderson-Massey Play Plan 2025 is now offered to the local board for adoption.

4.       A Supplementary Information document has also been provided. It includes relevant demographic information for the local board area, and insights from Regional Sports Trusts and the council’s Advisory Panels. This information has informed the advice staff provide to Henderson-Massey Local Board regarding play.

5.       The play plan does not commit the local board to funding any particular play project. Instead, it will serve as a tool to support work programme planning each year.

6.       The report recommends that Henderson-Massey Local Board adopt the Henderson-Massey Play Plan 2025 and use it as a resource for the future development of play.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      whai / adopt the Henderson-Massey Play Plan 2025 as set out in Attachment A to this report.

 

Horopaki

Context

7.       Auckland Council’s play advocacy function promotes play opportunities beyond investment in traditional playgrounds, with play regarded as ‘an everywhere activity.’

8.       The play advocacy approach complements local boards’ capital investments in play. It does not however replace the ongoing need for investment in the design and maintenance of playgrounds.

9.       Staff engaged with Henderson-Massey Local Board at various workshops in 2023 and 2024. A play advocacy activity was included in the local board’s annual work programme in the 2023/2024 and the 2024/2025 financial years. In the 2023/2024 financial year a budget of $10,000 was allocated. This budget was increased to $20,000 for the 2024/2025 financial year.

10.     In the 2023/2024 work programme, staff committed to delivering a ‘play plan’ for Henderson-Massey Local Board. This document provides advice on how play outcomes can be achieved with operational expenditure (OPEX) funding. It also provides guidance on relevant play issues that the local board might like to consider.

11.     A draft version of the Henderson-Massey Play Plan 2025 was discussed with the local board at a workshop in December 2024. Elected member feedback was incorporated into the final draft. Staff are seeking adoption of the plan on Attachment A.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

12.     The Henderson-Massey Play Plan 2025 (‘the play plan’) is aligned with the Henderson-Massey Local Board Plan 2023. It is intended to be a live document for the life of the local board plan. The play plan will be revised throughout the 2026 – 2029 term of the local board.

13.     The play plan complements previous staff advice about play and other council work programmes that provide play outcomes. This includes play provision assessments and play network gap analyses completed by the Specialist Operations team, and the activation programme delivered by the Out and About Auckland team.

14.     The play plan highlights the need to engage effectively with rangatahi regarding play. The gap in play provision for rangatahi is well known across Tāmaki Makaurau, and the play plan offers suggestions about how this can be addressed through both operational (OPEX) and capital (CAPEX) investment.

15.     Accessible play is a growing focus within the play sector. The play plan provides guidance to Henderson-Massey Local Board about the different needs of tamariki with invisible and visible disabilities. It also discusses ways that the council can address these groups’ play requirements.

16.     All-ages play is also a topic of interest to most local boards. The play plan addresses this by highlighting opportunities for intergenerational play. It also advocates for greater engagement with rangatahi to learn more about this demographic’s play interests. It provides some suggestions for ways to better provide play for rangatahi and adults in formal play spaces.

17.     The play plan presents elected members with specific project ideas to increase play provision across Henderson-Massey, and suggestions of local board advocacy for broader play outcomes. The project suggestions are indicative only and do not commit the local board to funding any particular project. Language has been added to the play plan to this effect.

18.     In response to feedback from a range of local boards, all play plans have been revised as follows:

·    a Chair’s Message has been included at the beginning of the document

·    operational details such as proposed project costs have been removed, to better reflect the strategic nature of the play plan and the local board’s governance-level decision-making role

·    a page has been inserted to acknowledge the opportunity for play to support the wellbeing of older adults

·    the document has been divided into two separate parts: the Henderson-Massey Play Plan 2025, which is action-focused; and the Henderson-Massey Play Plan 2025 Supplementary Information document, which includes supporting insights and other reference materials.

19.     Staff will use the play plan to inform discussions during work programme development. Each year, the local board may choose to allocate a budget toward play through its annual work programme development process.

 

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

20.     The play advocacy approach has an enduring positive climate impact. It encourages whānau to embrace their streets, local parks and public spaces as sites for play. This reduces the need to drive to playgrounds.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

21.     The play plan has been written with input from the council’s Activation and Events teams within the Community Wellbeing department. Further review and feedback has been provided by staff in the Pools and Leisure and the Parks and Community Facilities departments.

22.     The play plan highlights the value of integrating play into other council work programmes, and in the work of Council-Controlled Organisations like Auckland Transport and Watercare.

23.     The Supplementary Information document includes insights from the council’s various Advisory Panels, which each represent different groups in the community. Staff engaged directly with the Advisory Panels and sought their feedback regarding play issues relevant to them.

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

Local impacts and local board views

24.     Play is of perennial interest to the wider community, with most families aware of its benefit to their tamariki. As freedom to roam and play without adult supervision has declined for tamariki in Tāmaki Makaurau during the past three decades, there has been growing pressure on the council to build and maintain playgrounds. The play advocacy approach, as set out in the play plan, both acknowledges the importance of playgrounds, and offers other ways to provide opportunities to play.

25.     Tāmaki Makaurau’s four Regional Sports Trusts have the capacity to engage directly with tamariki in a school setting, and the Play Leads at each Regional Sports Trust have done so at several primary schools. The insights gathered have informed staff advice to Henderson-Massey Local Board about how to provide play beyond a playground setting. In particular, tamariki voice has identified a widespread appetite for more adventurous play.

26.     The Supplementary Information document contains demographic information from the 2023 Census, highlighting changing ethnic demographics in Henderson-Massey. Analysis of the local board’s demographic data has contributed to staff advice to Henderson-Massey Local Board.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

27.     The play plan references the Māori outcomes identified in the Henderson-Massey Local Board Plan 2023. It highlights several ways that play can support Māori outcomes, including:

·    using Te Aranga Māori Design principles in the design of playgrounds, to communicate iwi narratives through colour choices, cultural motifs, and other elements

·    developing and installing māra hūpara – Māori playgrounds that draw on pre-colonial play traditions from local iwi

·    exploring ways that the Te Kete Rukuruku dual naming project could create opportunities for playful interpretation of the narratives behind gifted te reo names

·    providing Māori play activations through the Out and About Auckland programme.

28.     The play plan acknowledges the importance of taking an iwi-led approach for any play provision that is aligned with Māori outcomes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

29.     Although the play plan includes potential play projects, it is not a prescriptive document and does not commit the local board to funding any of the projects. Language has been included in the play plan to make this clear to all readers.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

30.     The following table identifies risks associated with Henderson-Massey Local Board adopting its play plan and sets out appropriate mitigation measures.

Risk

Mitigation

Adopting the play plan raises community expectations regarding investment in new play projects

Language within the play plan to emphasise the non-prescriptive nature of the document and its purpose as a guide for potential play investment only

Adopting the play plan results in concern from the community that investment in CAPEX play will not continue

Language within the play plan to confirm that non-playground play is intended to complement and not replace wider investment in play assets

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

31.     Staff will participate in annual work programme planning, drawing on the play plan to advise the local board of project opportunities.

32.     The Henderson-Massey Play Plan 2025 will be revised on a three-year basis, to ensure it remains aligned with the Henderson-Massey Local Board’s local board plan.

Context

10.     The local board allocates grants to groups and organisations delivering projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders and contribute to the vision of being a world-class city.

11.     The local board grants programme sets out:

a)      local board priorities

b)      lower priorities for funding

c)      exclusions

d)      grant types, the number of grant rounds, and when these will open and close

e)      any additional accountability requirements.

12.     The Henderson-Massey Local Board adopted the Henderson-Massey Local Grants Programme 2024/2025, which sets application guidelines for contestable community grants submitted to the board (Attachment A).

13.     The community grant programmes have been extensively advertised through the council grants webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters, Facebook pages, council publications, and community networks.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

14.     The aim of the local board grant programme is to deliver projects and activities which align with the outcomes identified in the local board plan. All applications have been assessed utilising the Community Grants Policy and the local board grant programme criteria. The eligibility of each application is identified in the report. 

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

15.     The Local Board Grants Programme aims to respond to Auckland Council’s commitment to address climate change by providing grants to individuals and groups for projects that support and enable community climate action.

16.     Community climate action involves reducing or responding to climate change by local residents in a locally relevant way. Local board grants can contribute to expanding climate action by supporting projects that reduce carbon emissions and increase community resilience to climate impacts.

17.     Examples of projects include local food production and food waste reduction, increasing access to single-occupancy transport options, home energy efficiency and community renewable energy generation, local tree planting and streamside revegetation, and educating about sustainable lifestyle choices that reduce carbon footprints.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

18.     The focus of an application is identified as arts, community, events, sport and recreation, environment, or heritage. Based on the focus of an application, a subject matter expert from the relevant department will provide input and advice.

19.     The grants programme has no identified impacts on council-controlled organisations and therefore their views are not required.

 

 

 

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

Local impacts and local board views

20.     Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community grants. The Henderson-Massey Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or decline these grant applications against the local board priorities identified in the local board grant programme.

21.     Staff will provide feedback to unsuccessful grant applicants about why they have been declined, so they will know what they can do to increase their chances of success next time.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

22.     The local board grants programme aims to respond to the council’s commitment to improving Māori wellbeing by providing grants to individuals and groups who deliver positive outcomes for Māori. Auckland Council’s Māori Responsiveness Unit has provided input and support towards the development of the community grant processes.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

23.     The Henderson-Massey Local Board has set a total community grants budget of $79,697 for the 2024/2025 financial year, which will be allocated across two Local Grant Rounds and two Quick Response Grant rounds.

24.     After Local Grant Round One, we have a remaining balance of $46,539.

25.     In November, we received the following refund and allocated the following funds.

·    A refund of $1,565.22 from New Zealand Blue Light Ventures Incorporated (QR1905-220).

·    Approval (HM/2024/104) for the allocation of $8,096 in Film Revenue to Community Grants Henderson-Massey (Activity ID 168).

·    Allocation of $14,290 to Quick Response Round One at the November business meeting.

26.     In January, applicant advised that they relocated their project to Albany and forfeited the grant (QR2505-110), returning $500 to the 2024/2025 budget.

27.     This leaves $42,410.22 available for allocation in the subsequent rounds.

28.     Twenty-seven applications were submitted towards Henderson-Massey Quick Response Grants Round Two, requesting a total of $50,677.20.

29.     Appropriate financial officers have been consulted.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

Project: Care to Self-care?

Location:

Henderson Waitakere Libraray and various libraries.

Summary:

Reconnect is hosting another youth mental health contest for Auckland high school youth, following the success of last year. We are requesting funding for this project. The funds will be used for the success of the project, which is to promote the project publically, support the youth through workshops offline and online, and acknowledge the participating youth though various incentives and awatds.

Expertise:

We have been doing "share-the-warmth" movements for multiple years with a diverse range of people, equipping us with the skills to deliver a safe platform where youth can share love and gain a sense of accomplishment and improved perception regarding the topic. 
 
Regarding the Youth Mental Health Contest, active mental health professionals, and psychiatrists from Health New Zealand, Te Whatu Ora are giving us consultations and assistance to ensure safety and effectiveness. Also, we have their endorsement. Moreover, we have successfully hosted this contest within Henderson High School in 2024, and plan to follow the success and strengthen the project to deliver it for all youth in Auckland, by hosting it both online and offline.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Reconnect has been actively addressing youth mental health challenges, recognising that young people are particularly vulnerable in this area. We believe that youth are the future, and it is the responsibility of the community to provide them with the best support possible.
Rather than simply distributing external resources, we emphasise peer-led support, enabling youth to help one another. We understand that young people often relate better to their peers, which fosters a sense of connection and reassurance that they are not alone. Our goal is to serve as a bridge, facilitating youth-to-youth communication about mental health issues and encouraging open conversations in a supportive environment.
 
Resilience and Coping Skills – Participants will learn to manage stress, emotions, and mental health challenges by developing practical tools that they can use in daily life. Through this, they cultivate lifelong habits that contribute to emotional strength and well-being.
 
Understanding Social Impact and Responsibility – Through CSC, participants will recognize that their work has the potential to positively influence the wider community. By creating tools that benefit others, they develop a sense of purpose, responsibility, and empowerment to make meaningful societal changes.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Communities are empowered to lead and deliver on their aspirations

Our initiative provides young people with opportunities to reflect on and learn more about their hauora (wellbeing) while exploring creative methods to promote mental health awareness among their peers.
Through our workshops and school visits, we will:
Share proven self-care strategies, emphasising that self-care is individualised and fluid—what works for one person may not work for another.
Equip youth with a comprehensive framework for personalising their self-care approaches.
Highlight the holistic nature of wellbeing, ensuring participants understand the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and social health.
By fostering awareness and peer-to-peer support, Reconnect empowers youth to take charge of their mental health while also encouraging them to uplift and support one another. This initiative directly supports community connectedness, inclusivity, and resilience among young people in West Auckland.

Māori outcomes:

·     Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

We have used the Te whare tapa wha model of wellbeing as we promote the idea of self-care and wellbeing. This model is the holistic model that we will use as we communicate with the youth that our wellbeing is interconnected as the model suggests, and all pillars are required for a balanced healthy life.

Accessible to people with disabilities

No -

Healthy environment approach:

Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

As our Care to Self-care? (CSC) project is based on hauora wellbeing, we will actively promote healthier life-style choices such as drinking water by creating a water bottle with the time of day written on it to support this healthy habit. Also, as wellbeing is multifaceted, we will bring up physical activity, acts of service, and more to promote the importance of intentional healthy choices benefiting us and the community in the long run. eg, picking up rubbish, and or riding the bike to school, showing acts of kindness and more.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Our project is specifically targeted at youth aged 13-18 (Years 9-13) across all Auckland high schools and colleges, with a particular focus on young people in West Auckland. While the initiative is open to all youth regardless of background, we recognize the diverse demographic of West Auckland and aim to create an inclusive, culturally responsive space that supports Māori, Pasifika, Asian, and other ethnic communities who may face additional barriers in accessing mental health resources.
 
We are committed to supporting all genders and ensuring our project is accessible and welcoming to young people of all identities. Through peer-led support, creative expression, and open conversations, we foster a safe and supportive environment where youth feel heard, valued, and empowered to take charge of their well-being

Project: Massive Theatre Company and Te Pou Foundations workshop Whakapuāwai Programme

Location:

Te Pou Theatre, 2 Mt Lebanon Lane, Henderson, Auckland

Summary:

We seek funding for teaching artist fees, manaakitanga and digital marketing costs for a FREE workshop for rangatahi aged 14 - 25 to be held at Te Pou Theate in Henderson in October 2025.

Expertise:

Massive has been delivering high-quality arts experiences to Tāmaki-Makaurau since 1991. During Massive's 30+ year history, we have developed a significant number of rangatahi through our pathways of performing, writing, directing and teaching who continue to work with us in these areas of creative work. Their engagement continues to contribute to a robust arts sector and an ever-increasing body of original theatre work devised and performed by both emerging and established creatives. See attached Bios of Creatives.
 
We are pleased to be able to partner with Te Pou Theatre in Henderson to present this free workshop to local ranagatahi and communities.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Since 1991, Massive has provided FREE workshop programmes for rangatahi and emerging artists aged 14 - 25 across Tāmaki Makaurau.  Massive is committed to accessibility, ensuring that financial barriers for participation are removed by offering all workshops for free. By partnering with venues and arts organisations to hold our workshops outside of our main central hub in areas such as West Auckland, we are also removing geographical barriers that may prohibit young people from participating.  
 
Foundations workshops are stepping stones on the pathway to professional development and career training in the arts sector, although participants can engage in these programmes with no expectation of pursuing a career in theatre. Our workshops build resilience, confidence and creative capacity for all who join.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Culture and creativity are an integral part of community life

Through Massive's FREE theatre workshop programmes, communities can participate in high quality arts experiences.  The workshop included in this application will take place at Te Pou Theate, a kaupapa Māori performing arts venue for all that supports the development and presentation of contemporary and community performing arts.  We are thrilled to partner with Te Pou to bring this free workshop to ranagatahi in the Henderson-Massey local board area.
 
Massive workshops draw rangatahi, emerging artists and other members of the community to participate in fun, resilience-building physical theatre activities. Our open access policy ensures barriers for participation are greatly reduced, and we welcome everyone to join us - including those with access, mobility and neurodiversity needs.

Māori outcomes:

·     Māori led - either a Māori organisation that is applying or Māori directed (came about as a request from Māori), Māori involvement in the design/concept, Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language), Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

Te Pou Theatre is a kaupapa Māori performing arts venue which is Māori-led and Māori-run.  Te Pou invited Massive into a partnership to deliver a free 2-day workshop as part of their Whakapuāwai Programme, an annual programme offering opportunities for development and connection for the Māori performing arts community.
 
Massive has a large cohort of company members who identify as Māori, and engages authentically with Māori communities. Our programmes attract a significant number of Māori participants and audience members thanks to our genuine engagement.
 
During Massive's 30+ year history, we have developed a significant number of Toi Māori through our pathways of performing, writing, directing and teaching who continue to work with us in these areas of creative work.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Te Pou Theatre is a fully accessible venue with disabled carparks available for those who need them. We welcome wheelchair users and those with mobility needs (our workshop activities are easily adaptable for different levels of mobility). Massive teaching artists have undertaken neurodiversity training with Mind Over Manner, and are able to identify and work with participants in workshops, productions and schools who may present as neurodiverse or on the autism spectrum.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

Te Pou Theatre in Henderson is a smoke-free and vape-free venue (including outdoors). Wharekai/Kitchen facilities at Te Pou include recycling bins and food scraps composting bins on site, and we encourage our participants to bring lunches in re-usable containers (there is also dishwashing facilitiets on site to wash dishes). We provide access to clean water for drinking and encourage participants to keep hydrated (we do a lot of physical movement in our workshops). We also provide healthy snacks to eat such as fruit and low-sugar options (participants bring their own lunch, but Massive provides snacks). Massive is a physical theatre company and our workshops are very physical in nature, incorporating movement and high-energy activities. Te Pou is accessible on via the Western train line and numerous bus routes. Both Te Pou and Massive are also cycling-positive companies (many of our core team cycle into work daily) and encourage those who can cycle to do so (Te Pou provides secure bike parking and areas to charge e-bikes).

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

One of Massive’s key focus areas in our audience engagement strategy is increasing engagement through improved accessibility. We’re committed to learning and implementing new ways of engaging with audiences from diverse, marginalised communities, including migrant and LGBTIQ+, through continued korero and research.
 
Massive also has a high level of engagement with Pasifika youth, emerging artists and creatives, working with them to ensure they have access to high-quality, low-cost arts experiences that might be otherwise unavailable to them.
 
Massive Company’s kaupapa of original story telling and artist-led, devised theatre means that the work created is closely tied to the cultural roots of the creatives involved. This makes Massive theatre content more accessible than other arts experiences might be for these communities, as they recognise their own stories being reflected on the stage.

Project: Free Community Driver License Programmes West Auckland

Location:

Henderson, Massey and nearby localities where community venues are available

Summary:

Silver Fern MotorSport Charitable Trust is a not for profit community organisation that provides free driver license training and testing to disadvantages communities. Our history in West Auckland for the past 15-years as a youth charity is well established, and we service both youth and adults in the Henderson and Massey locality for driver licensing. We are seeking $2,000 towards venue hire costs of community facilities in West Auckland to run driver license training programmes. Through our programmes we will reach over 100 people who face financial, social and other barriers to gaining a license. We receive no funding for venue hire costs, and we always prioritise use of Auckland council community venues as our preferred option for venues.

Expertise:

We have been working with high needs communities in West Auckland for 15-years, particularly youth. We have been delivering specifically driver license training programmes for the past 10 years, alongside our Youth Automotive Programme which was our founding programme working with young offenders and vulnerable rangatahi. We deliver learner, restricted and full license training and operate 5 Instructor vehicles. In addition to West Auckland, we also operate in South Auckland and North Waikato.

We advise participants of our funders who make it possible for us to deliver programmes to the community. We also write case studies and happy to provide photos for Council newsletters to show benefits of our programmes to Henderson and Massey residents.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

* Supporting vulnerable rangatahi and whanau who face barriers to gaining a license, targeting Henderson, Massey residents
* Safer communities
* Increased license compliance among drivers on our roads
* Removal of financial barriers to gaining a license
* Supporting Maori and Pacific communities in particular who are overrepresented in our referral statistics
* Assisting our organisation with venue costs which we receive no funding for * Directly benefiting between 100-250 people depending on participation numbers who will gain a drivers license and be supported with ID 
* Increase employability, self confidence and community engagement among our participants

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Communities are empowered to lead and deliver on their aspirations

Through supporting vulnerable communities who face barriers to gaining a drivers license, this supports both individuals and whanau to upskill so that they can become more employable, be more connected to community and help people with self development. We currently live in challenging financial times, and through our support we are able to make a positive difference in peoples lives that prevents disengagement and also ensures a safer community. We work closely with Waitakere Police to provide restorative pathways for people who are identified by Police who are driver license non-compliant. We offer an alternative to traffic fines and charges, helping people become license compliant, while also raising awareness on driver and vehicle safety. We work with a high proportion of Maori and Pacific, with in excess of 65% of referrals received. We also work closely with other NGOs, WINZ and Oranga Tamariki agencies to support high needs whanau.

We have high success working with high needs communities with mental health and learning disabilities.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

We have a non-smoking, no vaping policy which we enforce at our programmes. We provide free water (no fizz) drinks to participants. We promote use of hybrid or electric vehicles when engaging clients about vehicle efficiency and benefits to the environment.

Project: Make Moments Art Workshops for People with Dementia and Whanau

Location:

Te Atatu Peninsula Community Centre

Summary:

We are seeking funds to support access to arts for people living with dementia and disability in the Henderson-Massey area through our Make Moments art programme run in collaboration with Dementia Auckland at Te Atatu Peninsula Community Centre. We facilitate weekly art high-quality art workshops for people living with dementia and their whanau to support creative ageing and inclusion. We are seeking support towards to cost of the specialist Artist Educator and the art materials.

Expertise:

Make Moments has been facilitated across Auckland for over 10 years, reaching an average of 3000 per year. We continue to offer Outreach to groups to ensure every older person has access to the arts for improved wellbeing and intellectual stimulation. We are experienced in working with people living with dementia and encourage mental and social connectivity through dignified and meaningful activity in community spaces, we are uniquely placed to help combat the major challenges facing older people. 
 
In 2019, Andrea Gaskin (Director of Connect the Dots) received a fellowship to explore developments in arts access for people living with dementia through research in the UK to enhance the impact of Make Moments in Aotearoa (findings here: https://www.communitymatters.govt.nz/assets/2020-Winston-Churchill-Memorial-Trust-Fellowship-report/Andrea-Gaskin-Fellowship-Report.pdf.)

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Our participants often experience barriers to participation due to physical disabilities, neurological conditions, age-related vulnerabilities, and social isolation. This is significant, because while service delivery / support agencies in the age-care and disabilities sector provides outstanding services to our target audience, the primary mandate is to provide wellbeing outcomes through clinical or “health-oriented” interventions. 
Through research, observation, and anecdotal evidence, being mentally engaged is critical to mitigating early symptoms of dementia. Creativity is also an effective tool in maintaining mental clarity and agility in older adults. 
Our project provides:
• Improved mental health
• Manaakitanga – access to the essentials of a good life, with the ability to fulfil their
potential, in a space that focuses on strengths and opportunity
• Kotahitanga - Increased feeling of social connectedness and reduced feelings of
loneliness
• Improved interests in the arts
• Whanaungatanga - connectedness to other people and a feeling of belonging
particularly in the local arts and cultural spaces we run our programmes in
• Improvement in self-perception and confidence (specifically around creativity)
• Improved wellbeing, both mental, emotional and physical Improved sense of
belonging

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Culture and creativity are an integral part of community life

Our older population is growing disproportionately to other ages in Auckland, and is as diverse and multicultural as any group. Art is natural leveller and our workshops always focus on the many perspectives of different people and cultures towards the same subject matter. We bring people together around a shared purpose and activity, encouraging of experimentation and joy, rather that art instruction. Art opportunities give people with dementia an opportunity to express themselves in visual way, taking away any pressure for verbal communication for people whose verbal fluency is in decline. Creativity is within us all and witnessing the joy and sense of pride our community experience when making art demonstrates the success of this project.
We also meet four of the High Priority areas for the Henderson-Massey Local Board.
• Activities that improve community connectedness and inclusivity - our programmes bring people together and are fully accessible. Our specialist educator is trained in supporting the needs of people living with dementia so that they are able to be included in a rewarding creative activity and experience success.
• Activities that improve Māori and Pasifika outcomes - many of our participants are Māori and Pasifika people with dementia and they and their whanau share the positive impact their engagement in the arts has and the knock on effect for them as carers.
• Activities that promote and encourage a healthy lifestyle - being active in the arts improves mental clarity, capacity and mood which leads to better and healthier choices more widely.
• Activities that are locally based and not for profit events and organisations - we are a charitable trust in partnership with another charitable trust bringing opportunity in a local community space.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·     Māori involvement in the design/concept, Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

Our Māori, Pasefika and Cantonese-speaking Artist Educators reviewed our arts programme content and delivery to ensure it is inclusive and reflective of our diverse communities. Our educators and community also translated our online and printed art packs in Samoan, Tongan, Mandarin and Cantonese and these were well received by our participants during lock down. Our content and examples and arts processes always include works by our Māori, Pasefika artists as examples for our themes (home, family etc) to ensure that all participants feel included and valued. Our programmes always include food and refreshments (Manaakitanga is expressing kindness and respect for others, emphasising responsibility and reciprocity).

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - As outlined in our mission, and our vision, Connect the Dots strives to engage, through creativity, those who experience physical or intellectual disabilities. Our project is accessible in terms of the physical space we use, we make it appropriate for those with physical or accessibility needs.
 
Our educators are experienced in working with people with brain injury, dementia or intellectual disabilities, and our art workshops are process based, meaning no previous art making skills are required, therefore we adapt wherever we need to for participants physical / intellectual needs to be met.

Healthy environment approach:

Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

We encourage healthy food options and encourage our participants to move about in the workshops, gathering their materials and being active with some of the more physical processes like printmaking. We also demonstrate careful use of art materials encouraging zero waste of supplies and by reusing yoghurt containers for water containers etc and not washing anything into the waterways. We travel to workshops with an Electric Vehicle or E Bike to ensure our regional programme is not harming the environment.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

We specifically support those over 65 years of age, but do not specifically target gender or ethnicity groups, but of course all genders and ethnicities are welcome and encouraged to participate in our workshops. Some of our participants are people with Early-Onset dementia which means that they are under 65.

Project: NZAquaBots-under water robots protecting marine reserves

Location:

Henderson-Massey

Summary:

MOI is seeing funding to support NZAquaBots programme in the Henderson/Massey area by providing funds for a 2 for 1 offer to teams.
NZAB is the largest robotic programme in Aotearoa New Zealand and the only programme where tamariki compete underwater! Youth aged 7-18 build an underwater robot which is then used to compete in a series of underwater tasks which develop STEAM based skills necessary to ignite passion for STEM based careers.

Expertise:

Ministry of Inspiration has been delivering the NZAquaBots programme since 2012. It began in Nelson-Tasman and is additionally on offer in Christchurch, Wellington, Blenheim, Masterton, Auckland, Rotorua, and Whakatane. In 2024 over 800 youth participated in the
NZAB programme across New Zealand making it the largest robotic competition in the country. Winners of the regional competitions are invited to Nationals (held in Wellington 29-30 November) and national winners are invited to the International Sea Perch competition the following May in the USA.

This will be done on social media as well as each 2 for 1 offer will be acknowledged at the school itself. We will record which schools receive the 2 for 1 offer and ask them to also acknowledge the funding.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

NZAquaBots programme responds to the needs of the community by bringing STEAMS initiatives to youth. NZAquaBots goes beyond the local pool, it promotes the relevance of science and technology in the lives of hard-to reach youth and it broadens the community’s ability to engage in science and technology. The programme activities engages families and the wider community. The judges for the competition and mentors for the building come from the local science industry such as:
BECA engineering, Opus Engineering, NZ Defense Force, and local science teachers.
 
MOI strives to match the local community demographics with the demographics of the participants and thus far has been very successful. This not only shows the diversity of the programme but also MOI's commitment to engage with groups that are under-represented in STEAMS pathways. MOI continues to work in providing te reo Māori judges at competitions to ensure equitable access to the presentation and quiz portions of the competition as well as presenting to youth diversity in the STEAM industry.
 
In 2024, NZAB had 750 students compete regionally and 200 compete at the National event. This shows the high value of the programme and the interest that the youth community has with it.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     The community leads the way in kaitiakitanga

Kaitiakitanga represents the guardianship and management of the land, whenua. New Zealand's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) stretches from 12 to 200 nautical miles offshore and ranks among the largest in the world. Rich in natural biodiversity, the EEZ also holds significant potential for future economic opportunities, including seabed minerals and energy generation. Ensuring a balance between harnessing these resources and managing environmental impacts sustainably is in the best interest of all New Zealanders.
 
Tamariki and rangitahi will learn about our precious EEZ and how it needs to be protected through marine reserves. By learning about robotics and ROVs youth will be able to see how technology can help monitor and protect these areas.

We are collaborating with Tapuwae Roa to enhance te reo Māori in our programme delivery and to engage in Kura Kaupapa in the different regions. MOI is developing a glossary of words with English/Māori translation to encourage use. This is being developed with local kura involvement.  Tapuwae Roa also provides judges for the competitions.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - It is dependent on the level of disability. As somethings can not be accessed by some people. MOI would strive to involve all in the process.

Healthy environment approach:

Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice

The regional/national competitions are held at a local pool which is often very hot and
humid, therefore, we send out a lot of messages prior to the event and during the event about drinking water and staying healthy and hydrated. During the event only healthy food options are available for participants and judges.

We will not be able to offer a 2 for 1 offer to new participants. As we deliver the programme, the master classes, and the competition for free, the only cost the school incurs is the cost of the bots. The board donating 8 bots would be a significant boast to the growth of the programme in this area.

Additional information to support the application:

NZAB is the largest robotic programme in Aotearoa When you build the bots with youth you see amazing growth in confidence, leadership, and problem solving skills. Robot building and competing is very challenging-anything can go wrong and it does,therefore, resilience is required. MOI works tirelessly to provide FREE opportunities for youth-that is why we do not charge for the competition and seek funding to help schools participate. If successful we'd love to have members of the local board stop by a build session or be a judge at the competition and see what it is all about.

Project: Henderson-Massey Loss and Grief Counselling

Location:

214 Universal Drive, Henderson and 9 Devon Street, Te Atatū South

Summary:

We are seeking $1,750 to fund 25 subsidised counselling sessions for individuals in the Henderson-Massey local board area who need professional support through loss and grief. The losses we support go beyond bereavement and include redundancy, relationship breakdowns, pet loss, migration, loss of faculty, and more. There is a growing need in our community for accessible loss and grief support, and many people struggle to afford counselling during these challenging times. This funding upholds our kaupapa of ensuring that support is available to everyone, regardless of their financial situation, by covering the cost of a contracted counsellor at our Centre.

Expertise:

With 15 years of experience, we have a proven track record of delivering meaningful outcomes and fulfilling the benefits outlined in our counselling grant applications. Given that much of our counselling support relies on grant funding, our administration and counselling teams are highly skilled in aligning the right funding sources with the right clients. This ensures that every dollar is maximised to achieve the best possible outcomes while meeting the priorities of each grant provider.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The benefits of our project include:
 
Better mental wellbeing – getting support early helps people process their loss in a healthy way, reducing the risk of bigger mental health issues arising down the track. When people feel emotionally strong, they can continue working towards their personal and professional aspirations with confidence.
 
A more connected community – Loss can feel lonely, but knowing you’re not alone and that what you’re feeling is normal helps people reconnect with family, friends, and daily life. 
 
Removing barriers to support – No one should have to face grief alone due to financial hardship. Through funding, we ensure that those who would otherwise be unable to afford support receive the help they need.
 
Improved resilience – Learning healthy ways to cope not only helps now but gives people the skills to navigate future losses. Resilient individuals are better equipped to face challenges, contribute to their communities, and take on leadership roles in their personal and professional lives.
 
Creating a safer, more supportive community – When people feel supported, they’re less likely to hit crisis point, making our community a stronger, more caring place.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Communities are empowered to lead and deliver on their aspirations

Our project supports Henderson-Massey's priority by removing barriers to mental wellbeing support, ensuring that individuals can process grief in a way that allows them to regain confidence, rebuild their lives, and actively contribute to their communities. Loss impacts everyone, but not all individuals have the tools, resources, or financial means to navigate it. Without support, unresolved grief can hold people back from achieving their aspirations and participating fully in society.
 
By providing accessible, professional grief counselling, we equip individuals with the emotional resilience needed to take charge of their futures. When people understand their grief and develop healthy coping strategies, they regain their ability to work, engage with their whānau, and contribute to their communities. Our counselling support acts as a key enabler, helping people to normalise their emotions and recognise that healing is possible, allowing them to move forward with hope and purpose.
 
When individuals feel emotionally strong and supported, they are more likely to step into leadership roles, re-engage with their aspirations, and positively influence those around them. By fostering resilient, emotionally equipped individuals, we help create stronger, more connected communities where people can lead, inspire, and support others—ensuring a future where everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Our project supports people of all genders, ages, and ethnicities, ensuring that everyone has access to the help they need through loss and grief. We have a culturally diverse counselling team, allowing us to provide tailored support that respects each client’s background and needs. Our clients reflect this diversity, with over 14% identifying as Māori, 7% as Pasifika, and 9% as Asian.
 
We take a personalised approach, matching individuals with the right counsellor and resources to ensure they receive the best possible support. While 73% of our clients identify as female and 26% as male, our services are open to all. In the last six months, we have provided counselling to people aged between 5 and 91, with most clients falling within the 24 to 62 age range. Regardless of gender, age, or ethnicity, we are committed to making professional loss and grief support accessible to all who need it.

Project: Connecting Women in the Henderson-Massey Area: Eco-Friendly Gardening Workshop.

Location:

Massey Community Hub

Summary:

I am seeking funding to host an Eco-Friendly Gardening Workshop for New Mums, a community-led initiative that promotes sustainability and well-being. This event will provide new mothers, particularly Māori and Pasifika mums, with the opportunity to learn about indoor gardening, sustainable practices, and cultural connections to nature. Participants will create their own small herb or vegetable gardens using eco-friendly materials, while also learning from expert speakers on the benefits of growing their own food. This project aligns with the local board’s priorities by fostering community connectedness, empowering diverse communities, and promoting a low-carbon lifestyle.

Expertise:

I have experience delivering community gardening projects and sustainability initiatives through my work at Auckland Council. As a Programme Coordinator, I have been involved in project management, stakeholder engagement, and organising community-focused initiatives. My background in urban planning, environmental monitoring, and sustainability has allowed me to contribute to various projects that promote green spaces and environmental awareness.
 
In addition, I am developing a new online connection system to support women’s well-being and mental health, starting within the Henderson-Massey community. This initiative reflects my commitment to empowering women and fostering community connections through meaningful and impactful projects.

Dates:

02/06/2025 - 02/06/2025

People reached:

I'm expecting to engage 30-40 mothers and women with young children under one year old in the Henderson-Massey area. The event will provide a supportive space for these participants, fostering community connections, environmental awareness, and sustainable practices.

Post-Event Reporting: Sharing a thank-you message in the event summary or feedback, along with photos and testimonials.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Empowerment of New Mothers: The event offers new mothers, particularly those with babies under one year old, an opportunity to learn sustainable gardening practices. It helps build confidence, creates a sense of community, and provides a supportive space for mothers to connect.
 
Environmental Sustainability: The gardening activity promotes sustainable practices, encouraging participants to grow their own food and reduce waste. This aligns with community goals for waste minimization and supports environmentally friendly lifestyles.
 
Cultural Connection: Incorporating Māori and Pasifika cultural elements, such as storytelling or traditional gardening practices, fosters inclusivity and strengthens cultural identity, promoting a diverse and welcoming environment.
 
Health and Well-being: Gardening is a calming, therapeutic activity that positively impacts mental health. It offers mothers a chance to relax and bond with their babies while engaging in a meaningful, hands-on activity.
 
Building Community Connections: The event creates a space for mothers to meet and build connections, strengthening social ties and creating a supportive network for families.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Support communities of ethnicity and identity to develop community-led planning and initiatives that empower and celebrate diversity

My Eco-Friendly Gardening Workshop for New Mums directly supports the priority of supporting communities of ethnicity and identity to develop community-led planning and initiatives that empower and celebrate diversity by creating a space that welcomes and engages mothers from diverse backgrounds, particularly Māori and Pasifika communities. The workshop will feature cultural insights into traditional gardening practices, fostering a deeper connection to sustainable living within these communities.
 
By prioritizing community-led initiatives, the project encourages participants to take ownership of their well-being and environmental practices, empowering them to lead sustainable lifestyles while connecting with others in their local community. The event celebrates diversity by highlighting culturally significant gardening methods and providing a platform for mothers from various ethnic backgrounds to share experiences, strengthen community bonds, and support one another.

·     Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language), Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

my project will target Māori outcomes by ensuring active Māori participation. To achieve this, the event will include culturally relevant elements, such as incorporating Māori greetings and sharing traditional Māori knowledge related to planting and sustainability.
Additionally, I will make a special effort to invite Māori mothers in the Henderson-Massey area, encouraging their participation through local Māori networks and iwi connections. This approach ensures high representation and involvement of Māori in the project, supporting their cultural and environmental aspirations.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - This project will be made accessible to people with disabilities by ensuring the venue and activities are inclusive. The venue will be wheelchair accessible, with seating and facilities that accommodate individuals with mobility impairments. For the outdoor gardening activity, we will ensure there are accessible stations or alternative activities for participants with mobility challenges, such as providing raised garden beds or opportunities to assist in other ways, like organizing or handling materials. We will also ensure that the promotional materials for the event are available in accessible formats, such as large print or online, to support individuals with visual impairments. Additionally, we will communicate clearly about any accommodations needed and make adjustments to ensure all participants can engage meaningfully in the project.

Healthy environment approach:

Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice

Healthy Food & Drink Options: We will provide healthy, sustainable food choices, prioritizing water as the first drink option. This will encourage mums to make healthier beverage choices while avoiding sugary or unhealthy drinks.
 
Waste Minimisation: All food and drink will be served using eco-friendly, compostable materials. We will encourage participants to reduce waste by bringing their own reusable cups and plates.
 
Sustainable Practices: Throughout the event, we will emphasize the importance of environmental sustainability. The planting activity itself will be tied to learning about the environmental benefits of trees, promoting eco-friendly behaviors such as reducing waste and supporting local ecosystems.
 
Educational Resources: We will provide participants with resources and tips on creating sustainable gardens at home and ways they can reduce their environmental footprint, particularly in relation to child-rearing practices.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Yes, this project specifically targets women, particularly mothers who have recently given birth and have children under one year old. It aims to support Māori and Pasifika women in the Henderson-Massey community, providing a culturally inclusive space for them to connect, learn, and engage in environmentally sustainable activities. The project is designed to be accessible to all women, with a focus on supporting the local Māori and Pasifika communities through culturally relevant content and engagement.

Requesting grant for:

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

Facilitator and Educational Content: I would ensure the workshop facilitator's fee is covered first, as their expertise is critical to the success of the project. This will allow the participants to gain valuable knowledge about sustainability and tree planting.
 
Plants and Seeds: If the full funding for plants and seeds is not possible, I would reduce the quantity of plants or focus on more affordable, essential items to ensure the workshop can still proceed.
Advertising: If the full advertising budget cannot be met, I would explore alternative low-cost or free advertising options (e.g., social media, community bulletin boards) to still reach as many mums as possible in the local community.

Cost of participation:

There will be no cost of participation for this project. The workshop is fully funded by the grant, ensuring that all mothers in the community can participate free of charge. Our goal is to make this event accessible to all, especially new mothers, without any financial barrier.

Project: Upgrade meterbox and switch board

Location:

572c Te Atatu Rd, Te Atatu Peninsula, Auckland, 0610, New Zealand

Summary:

Te Atatu Tennis Club seeks funds for upgrading the electrical meterbox/switchboard. The current board is very old and at capacity, and we have been advised by our preferred electrical suppliers to upgrade and meet current regulations.

Expertise:

There has been little in the way of improving infrastructure at the club for several years, hence there is a real need now to get certain things upgraded. We will rely heavily on the knowledge of our electrical company partners to deliver the end result. They are the ones that will project manage bringing the electrical board up to standard, which is their expertise.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Community benefits include:
A) keeping a sports club running that is in the heart of the community, delivering health and wellbeing benefits for members and casual players
B) A new electrical board with more capacity will allow for future improvements to the club, for instance more powerful and plentiful floodlights for the tennis courts, additional courts for paddle tennis, an upgrade to our kitchen facilities, better outdoor lighting for spectators - all of which benefit the community
C) Our clubrooms can be hired out to the community  (birthdays, matariki events, dance classes etc) with the knowledge that the electrical board is fully safe and will not cause any safety concerns.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Our town centres are thriving, safe and inviting

By helping Te Atatu Tennis Club improve its withering infrastructure, the Henderson-Massey Board supports a local club to 'keep the lights on' literally. Based in the heart of Te Atatu Peninsula village, the Club a) creates a safe, friendly, healthy atmosphere within the village b) keeps young minds active playing tennis rather than loitering in the village which would create an unsafe feeling environment and c) lifts peoples spirits through exercise which improves the mental attitude of the community that use it

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

People in the disabled community have something to come to weekly which creates routine and structure in their lives. They meet new people and make new friends, learn new skills, learn what else is happening at the venues we hire such as other art activities and community events that they could join, grow in confidence to join and be part of the community and teach people what meaningful lives people with disabilities can have and therefore, lower stigma.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Culture and creativity are an integral part of community life

Each community has an identity and part of that identify is culture and creativity.
Our groups share culture and use creativity via the arts to share that culture. It is part of who they are. They share who they are on stage and to local groups and audiences which then helps to lower stigma within the community. This would then increase acceptance of people with disabilities within the community as each community would most likely have a few and therefore, seeing and having culture and creativity are an integral part of community life. Especially for support to the disability community.

Activity focus:

Project: NZ Barok Baby Baroque Free Kids' Concerts

Location:

Te Manawa, 11 Kohuhu Lane, Massey, Auckland

Summary:

NZ Barok is seeking funding to pay the fees for two venue personnel and six guest artists for their free Baby Baroque concerts at Te Manawa Community Hub on Friday 11 July. Blending baroque music with dynamic storytelling in both English and Te Reo Māori, this is a fun, dynamic hour-long concert that brings tamariki and their whānau right in amongst the orchestra, introducing them to baroque music and its instruments.

Expertise:

Our Baby Baroque Free Kids’ Concerts utilise our string core players. To provide orchestral colour we include professional guest artists playing trumpet, bassoon, recorder and percussion.
The Baby Baroque concerts comprise a Producer, Operations Manager, and Digital Marketing Manager. 
Catherine Polglase is the writer, music selector, and narrator of NZ Barok’s highly successful Baby Baroque Free Kids’ Concerts, with violinist Amelia Giles joining as a narrator in 2021. Catherine has been involved in Playcentre Aotearoa and ‘has worked as Waikato Regional Manager for 'SPACE for you and your baby’, 
In 2019 Whina Te Whiu joined NZ Barok as Pou Tikanga Māori – Māori Cultural Adviser, to support the orchestra with making the Baby Baroque concerts a bi-cultural experience.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Story-telling and music are both critical to early learning and a sense of belonging. The Baby Baroque concerts combine these elements in a highly engaging way, allowing whānau.members to interact with each other and with other whānau around them. We supply egg shakers and colourful scarves to everyone so they can have fun participating in the concerts together. We have assembled a collection of tiny violins and cellos so that tamariki can have a go with help from the musicians after the concert. For the other woodwind and brass instruments, musicians are available to answer any questions and to play to children up close which is extremely popular with whānau. Whānau with babies are also made welcome and can bring in their strollers and car seats and participate in any way they wish. Te Manawa Community Hub also has easy access for wheelchairs.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Culture and creativity are an integral part of community life

Access and participation are the main drivers for NZ Barok, performing the Baby Baroque Kids' Concerts for free. The cost of concerts is a barrier to many families, so removing that barrier makes a significant difference to being able to participate. We select concert spaces that are community hubs with buildings/concert spaces not linked to any religion or faith. This enables a diverse range of cultures within Tamaki Makaurau to feel more at ease and connect with each other. The stories written by Catherine Polglase for each concert are accessible for young children, are well paced and are interspersed with carefully selected musical excerpts. This makes the experience accessible and engaging for all tamariki and whānau.

Activity focus:

Community

Project: Mentoring boys who dont have a father in their lives 

Location:

Throughout the ward, in the boys' homes and in the community

Summary:

Mentoring for Henderson-Massey boys who do not have a father in their lives. We will match boys (7-14) with good men willing to volunteer their time to help guide the boys into adulthood, leading by example and showing them what it means to be a good man. Currently we have 23 Henderson-Massey Ward boys matched or waiting.

Expertise:

We have been matching boys since 1996 and we have matched almost 1200 boys without any safety concerns. Our gold-standard screening programme ensures each volunteer can provide what each individual boy needs. 865 of our matches have lasted more than a year; 523 more than 3 years and 350 for 5 years or more

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

The Big Buddy Mentoring Programme envisions a community in which every boy experiences a nurturing one-to-one relationship with at least one adult male, which in turn allows each of them to develop into their full adult potential; capable of making informed,
responsible decisions as involved members of our community.
Without a father figure a boy will grow up searching for what it means to be a man, some are lucky and find it, others won’t and the rest of us will feel the consequences - that is boys growing into angry, sad or just plain bad men, inflicting their dysfunction on the world through crime, violence and suicide. Statistics show that about 80 per cent of men in prison in New Zealand had no functional father when growing up or no relationship with their father. Boys who grow up without a father figure can flounder a bit. They need good men in their lives to reference themselves against.
Every boy needs a father figure - a role model - and our goal is to find them one by recruiting, screening and training male volunteers towards becoming the father figures these boys need. In the process we build a better world.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     The community leads the way in kaitiakitanga

Boys with a Big Buddy in their lives are more confident, because they feel more secure. They become more resilient and are willing to try new things. Their caregivers regularly report improved behavior, better results at school and say that their boys are just happier.
The boy feels valued and this increases his self-confidence. Having a man who cares just about his well-being tells him he is worth caring about. 
Because he feels better about himself, he’ll try new things and learn resilience through coping with failure and success.
Research shows that boys fall through the cracks more than girls when you look at achievement. And there is a lack of male teachers in schools, not having positive male role models at school, at home and in other settings all contribute to boys not being seen and not being valued.
Many boys express deep gratitude for the opportunity to have a Big Buddy, but also some have a harder shell, and it can take time and patience to break through external defenses and get them to open up. Ultimately these are some of the issues of why our male youth suicide rates are so alarmingly high in New Zealand.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·     Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

About 25% of the boys who participate in our programme identify as Màori and about 10% of volunteer mentors are Màori.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - We spend time with the boys and their caregivers so our Mentor Manager can understand what he needs in a Big Buddy mentor. The manager then carefully selects a potential mentor and supports the match through the early stages. If a boys has special needs or physical limitations, this is taken into account during the volunteer selection process.

Healthy environment approach:

Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes

We encourage our big Buddies to take the boys out and spend time together walking the dog, fishing or mowing the lawn. Shared activities strengthen the bond.

Summary:

We are the Under 13s Boys Waitemata Seagulls league team.

We are seeking funding to go towards supporting our team training camps, weekly league games and weekly prizegiving presentations.

Expertise:

We have coached and managed many sports teams over the years including touch teams,

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Our team are already being recognised as an important team within the Waitemata Seagulls League club this year as they are the oldest youth team at the club has this year. This means all the Under 6-12 teams are already looking up at our team as role models. It is no secret that Ranui is an impoverished community and the work we are doing with the kids is keeping them motivated, out of trouble and building healthy relationships both within the team and the community. Ranui Domain is a popular public space used by teams as well as the public for exercise and leisure. Our team spend allot of time down at the park. Our community benefits from all the positivity that comes when you see a group of 20 plus kids working hard, training together, having fun and building positive relationships.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Support communities of ethnicity and identity to develop community-led planning and initiatives that empower and celebrate diversity

Our team have big goals we are seeking to achieve in the 2025 year. Wellbeing and development through participation in sport, particularly rugby league, is an aspiration our coaching and management team are seeking to achieve within our group of boys this year. We have a large team of kids of different ethnicities who each value and carry their culture and identity with pride. Our kids are keen to keep learning and developing their fitness and skills and want to grow within themselves, our team and the community.
By providing funding to assist our team we will have the ability to empower our kids which will trickle down to impact and empower their families and community at large. There are so many opportunities that can arise through team sports and we strive to build a culture within our team and teach our boys the core values of being respectful and humble whilst building a strong brotherhood and family on and off the field. Our kids can be proud of their culture, who they are, who they represent, and where they come from, all whilst building a new brotherhood and identity within our team.  We want our families to feel part of our community too and to be involved with our kids as much as possible, as we know how important these youth years are for our kids. Providing funding will help to empower our team to reach their goals and will go a long way to support our aspirations over the season to build a community which is proud of its diversity and focussed on being the best version we can be.

Project: Wrapping Up Waste: Pallet Netting to Reduce Single-Use Plastics

Location:

Fair Food

Summary:

We are seeking funding to replace single-use plastic pallet wrap with reusable pallet netting for food distribution. This will eliminate 4800 meters of plastic waste, helping reduce our environmental impact while sharing more than 70 tonnes of rescued food. The funding will cover the initial cost of the netting and support the transition to a more sustainable, waste-free solution for transporting kai to our recipient groups.

Expertise:

Fair Food has extensive experience in food rescue and community engagement, operating in West Auckland since 2011. The HMLB was part of Fair Food's founding. While we currently divert 99.7% of our “waste” from landfill, we are always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint with the diverse communities we support. By switching from single-use plastic wrap to pallet netting, we will maintain the same processes but will be reducing waste, helping to further align our daily operations with Auckland’s zero-waste aspirations. This adaptation will improve our environmental impact while continuing to provide essential food support to the community. We hope it will be a model that can be replicated by food businesses and community organisations.

Promotion:

Fair Food will announce this sustainable solution at our Matariki event with all of our local charity partners. We will thank the Local Board directly and will acknowledge their contributions when we utilise these new materials. We will also feature it in our volunteer newsletter.

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Switching to reusable pallet netting will have a wide range of community benefits. It will significantly reduce the amount of plastic waste going to landfill, directly supporting our shared goal of being zero-waste.
 
It will inspire further thinking about designing out waste and inspire practical, eco-friendly solutions for other businesses and organisations to follow. 
 
Every week, eight community groups in the Henderson-Massey LB area collect food on pallets wrapped in single-use plastic pallet wrap. They will benefit from no longer needing to manage excess amounts of plastic. This allows them to focus on their core mission of feeding their community. Fair Food’s largest partner, Vision West, receives more than 40 tonnes of kai from Fair Food each year. Wrapping the pallet of food is essential for ensuring health and safety of the kai boxes during transport and enables the efficient delivery of larger quantities of kai. However, single use plastic contributes significantly to landfill waste, and our recipient organisations lack the infrastructure for soft plastics recycling. 
 
Thousands of families in West Auckland will benefit from the 70 tonnes of kai that is shared through reusable materials.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Support communities and businesses to work towards zero waste to landfill by 2040 and to increase their ability to live low-carbon lifestyles

Everything we do at Fair Food is about building community resilience in a changing climate. We are a community-led initiative, turning leftover food into a lifeline for families in need while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Everyday we get at least 2 tonnes of fresh food back out into the community instead of going to landfill, while teaching sustainable food practices. Last year, we redistributed 723,380 kilos to 70 community groups across Tāmaki Makaurau. By introducing pallet netting, we aim to further reduce waste by replacing single-use plastic wrap with a reusable alternative, supporting Henderson-Massey's zero-waste vision. Our efforts will empower community organisations to adopt sustainable practices in a way that works at all income levels and lifestyles.

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·     Māori involvement in the design/concept, Māori participation - Māori priority group, target group, high representation or Māori staff delivering

Māori communities are the largest recipients of food support from Fair Food, and Māori live in the areas most vulnerable to climate change. Some of the target organisations for this project are Māori-led, and Fair Food is guided by the Te Ao Māori perspective of our Board and staff.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Using a more sustainable pallet wrapping system will make it easier for people with limited mobility to assist with the packing and unpacking of food boxes. It will reduce injuries by having less manual handling of heavy boxes.

Healthy environment approach:

Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

At Fair Food, we always promote a healthy environmental approach with climate-friendly kai. By replacing single-use pallet wrap with reusable pallet netting, we are taking a direct step toward waste minimisation and to becoming zero-waste organisation. 
 
We will continue to share the importance of waste reduction through our communications, encouraging our food donors, volunteers, and recipient groups to adopt eco-friendly practices in their daily operations. We are committed to educating our community on the benefits of reusing materials and making conscious choices that promote a circular economy. By leading with these actions, we aim to inspire others to embrace zero-waste principles, from reducing plastic consumption to making the most of innovative and available resources.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Fair Food works with ethnic social service agencies to provide culturally appropriate kai to a diverse group of new migrants and asylum seekers. These organisations will benefit from the pallet netting.

Project: Purchasing head torches for wellbeing adventure programmes

Location:

1 / 4 Winston Place, Henderson, Auckland 0610

Summary:

We are requesting funding to purchase 10 x head torches for use on our Auckland wellbeing adventure programmes and adventure therapy programmes, particularly for our caving experience days but also for nighttime use whilst camping on multi-day adventures. The majority of our clients are rangatahi, and for most caving is a new and exciting challenge. We use caving experiences to help rangatahi explore their emotions and reactions to unfamiliar situations, how to stay calm & thoughtful when outside their comfort zone, how to support others, work as a team, communicate effectively, and responsible decision making.

Expertise:

Adventure Specialties Trust was founded 40 years ago on the philosophy that the outdoors offers a unique opportunity for impactful change, and we have been delivering these programmes in our local communities ever since. In 2024 alone we ran 205 programmes nationally, supporting 4,969 participants. Our staff are experts in outdoor safety management and leadership as well as skilled at delivering our therapeutic outcomes.
We are externally audited and a registered provider of Adventure Activities. Our Safety Management System is robust, with comprehensive safety plans, child protection policies and memberships to national regulatory boards (NZQIA, Adventure Therapy Aotearoa). We are a Level 2 Social Services Provider and are audited by MSD for this.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Our work is almost entirely built on collaboration with multiple community partners including schools, alternative education centres, community groups and government agencies. Our partners are making huge strides in helping local tamariki, rangatahi, families and adults, but lack the resources, expertise, or equipment to bring the outdoors element to their work. We also run open-enrolment programmes to give individuals in need the opportunity to access our support directly.
The community benefits we see include:
- Improved physical health by getting people outside, active and eating healthy. We teach participants the skills to re-create their activities with friends and family
- Introducing local beauty spots and showing how we can all be kaitiaki (guardians) of our land.
- Increasing whanau connections by assisting families to spend quality time together
- Increasing engagement with education, through reaching young people who are disengaged,  developing social skills and confidence to rebuild their connection with peers, teachers and school
- Developing cultural awareness, recognising and respecting difference, building an appreciation of the bicultural foundations of Aotearoa
- Supporting those struggling with their mental health to develop wellbeing practices, and discover energy, motivation and clear next steps to work towards the future they hope for

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Communities are empowered to lead and deliver on their aspirations

Adventure Specialties Trust has been a cornerstone in our community for 40 years. Based in Henderson, we provide purposeful outdoor adventure programmes which facilitate therapeutic outcomes and positive growth to help meet community needs. 
 
Focus on connectedness, diversity and inclusion:
We provide our programmes from a strengths-based approach, which values diversity and difference and focuses on the strengths of those that we are supporting. For some, this can be their first experience where positive aspects of their personalities and strengths are celebrated and encouraged. We aim for full participation of our groups and are passionate about creating opportunities for all to take part in outdoor adventures, and be supported in their personal development regardless of personal circumstance.
 
Investment into communities of greatest need:
We seek to transform the lives of young people, whānau and the wider community by utilising adventurous activities in nature to bring about positive change and wellbeing. We work with seriously “at risk” young people under Correction Services, rangatahi and tamariki disengaged from education, young Māori and Pacific groups, people with disabilities, those with a history of trauma, young people struggling with feelings of worthlessness, isolation, anxiety and depression, those who are unemployed, come from dysfunctional families, inactive tamariki and rangatahi, those from areas of high deprivation, teenage parents and whānau who are struggling to connect and school students in need of youth development and wellbeing support. In 2023 we launched a new programme ReConnect specifically to support young people across six different schools who were advisedly affected by the extreme flooding events, to help them reconnect with and regain trust in nature.  
 
Initiatives that bring communities and neighbourhoods together:
Our work is almost entirely built on collaboration with the multiple community partners who are also working with these groups. Our partners include schools, alternative education centres, community groups and government agencies that are making huge strides in helping disadvantaged tamariki, youth and young adults, but lack the resources, expertise, or equipment to bring the outdoors element to their work. Our partners include primary, intermediate and secondary schools, such as Henderson Intermediate, Middle School West and Lincoln Heights; local community organisations such as Salvation Army, Big Brother Big Sister, West Auckland Pasifika Forum and the Living and Learning Centre Henderson; and government agencies such as Ministry of Social Development, New Zealand Police, ACC Sensitive Claims, Oranga Tamariki and those in the Youth Justice system.

Māori outcomes:

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - We run specific programmes for people living with disabilities. We also are able to accommodate those living with disabilities who are not specifically a part of a group focused on their disability. It would depend on the nature of the disability, but we design our programmes with the primary intention that no one is excluded due to circumstances they cannot control.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

Many of our participants do not have the financial resources, confidence or role models in their life to get outside and get active for their health and wellbeing. By providing a safe, inclusive environment with quality equipment, experienced instructors and supportive peers, we remove barriers and give an opportunity to try new activities such as kayaking, bush walking, surfing, caving, rock climbing, coasteering, swimming, cycling and orienteering. Our aim is that the participants develop an ongoing love of outdoor recreation activities and the confidence to pursuit these adventures as a future hobby with friends and family.
 
Many of our participants simply cannot afford healthy, nutritious food and so we often include kai in our programmes to provide at least one healthy, nutritious meal per day and to model healthy eating practice. Sharing kai also offers a wonderful opportunity for group bonding and discussion. On our longer programmes such as camps, we also often teach cooking skills and emphasis the importance of being thoughtful with food usage and waste. Water is always the first-choice drink on our programmes. 
 
All of our programmes are smoke-free. Our programmes encourage sustainability and ecocentric approaches which are inherently environmentally friendly. There is no better place to inspire care for the planet than by getting outside into Aotearoa's natural environments, experiencing awe and wonder, learning about the places we go and developing an appreciative relationship with nature.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

We work with multiple different groups in our community. These include schools and alternative education partners working with tamariki and rangatahi, programmes for girls and young women, Māori, Pasifika community groups, unemployed and many more. As an indication of our age range, the majority are tamariki or rangatahi with approximately 23% aged 6-12years, 68% are aged 13 - 18 years, 4% are aged 19-25 years, and 5% are aged 26 years old and above.

10 x head torches. Please note, our preferred headtorches are the Petzi Aria 2 with rechargeable packs as these are rechargeable units and therefore reduce carbon admissions, however these have a higher overall price of $1559.20. The two other quotes are for Petzi Pixa 3 which are a lower overall cost option.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We will change to purchasing the Petzi Pixa 3 head torch option, or purchase a reduced number of head torches.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

We deliver events for both tamariki, rangatahi and adults. They are popular because they are fun and we partner with community groups like Ranui Library, Pest Free Swanson, Communitiy Waitakere, Te Manawa and other organisations in delivery. Reviewing the feedback we have been given to 
 
WHY people attend events 
- here in our participant's order
- want to learn a new DIY skill
- accessible (in a local area)
- affordable
- taking time off for mental wellbeing and being in a community setting.
 
 Other benefits- showcases the skills needed to live frugally and reduce pressure on whānau
- creative sustainable art/ products (woodwork, clothes, accessories, furniture)
- promotes intergenerational activities (parents working with kids)
- positive mental wellbeing through making with your hands- promotes an autonomous voice around creative vision (each project is unique)
- global waste problem (reduce extraction at source and landfill at end of life) - promote sustainable and creative upcycling while being upskilled themselves
- provides skills and employment to creatives.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Culture and creativity are an integral part of community life

We host fun community events focusing on creative reuse and a low carbon economy. Through an artistic lense, we explain that by upcycling, people are preventing extraction from Papatūānuku (water, soil, trees, biodiversity) and minimising landfill. But more than
 that - they are learning frugal living skills that require us to be resilient for the future.
 
Learning these skills within a community setting provides participants with joy, a sense of satisfaction and of connectedness

Demographics

Māori outcomes:

·     Māori focus - tikanga (practices), mātauranga (knowledge), reo (language)

We aim to include mātauranga and tikanga Māori in our designs especially for Matariki. The ReCreators support the inclusion of Te Reo and indigenous practices in our classes. Our core belief is around kaitiakitanga.

Accessible to people with disabilities

Yes - Held in community centres and libraries with activities suitable to varying abilities.

Healthy environment approach:

Promote smoke-free messages, Include waste minimisation (zero waste) messages, Healthy options for food and drink, including water as the first choice, Encouraging active lifestyles including movement or fitness programmes, Encourage the reduction of carbon emissions or increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change*

We promote healthy living through our core zero waste, climate action and community development values. We encourage mindfulness through crafting (which takes people off technology), we also promote intergenerational activities and learning of skills that can be taken back to the family and community. Due to the nature of the materials used we see it breaks down equity barriers and allows all people to be proud of their creations.

 

 

Does your project support any genders, ages or ethnicities specifically?

Yes - we are an inclusive and diverse organisation and have always promoted that through our wānanga.

To deliver free or heavily subsidised events, we need to be adequately funded. This is becoming harder and harder. The skills that we teach are fundamental for a life with climate change.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We will deliver what has been funded. Our contribution includes the labour it takes to gather materials and organise volunteer events including the use of our RE: MAKER SPACE which has commercial rent

Cost of participation:

Free for tamariki and community activtations. If woodworking for adults then we charge  a small fee to ensure that people show up and respect the funding that goes into these  activities.

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

For local residents, the festival is a way to meet people in their community and to foster wellbeing through artistic expression.
 
For local artists, there is the opportunity to develop professionally by giving a talk, demo, workshop or selling their work at the Print Fair. It is a way to extend their reach to new audiences and promote their work. Valuable networks are strengthened and established over the three days between emerging and established artists and have resulted in increased opportunities to teach, learn and exhibit beyond the festival. Many volunteers and workshop participants are from local high schools, who take the skills gained at the festival back to their classrooms.
 
Raising the profile of the festival with high calibre local and international artists, will help with the promotion of Corbans as a venue for quality art events. Increased awareness of the facilities on offer at Corbans will attract more artists to deliver events and workshops at Corbans throughout the year, directly benefiting the local community.
 
The local business community will also benefit from the number of visitors coming to the area for the festival, including a large number attending from outside of Auckland, staying for at least three days.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Culture and creativity are an integral part of community life

The festival encourages people from the local community to come together for this free three-day event where they can engage in art activities open to all ages and levels of ability. Visitors can meet likeminded people while attending one of the many free events. They can have a go at printing a piece of up cycled clothing, notebook, or small artwork, attend an artist presentation, workshop or shop at the Print Fair. 
 
The Print Fair has a mix of emerging and established artists, representing a range of cultures and creatives. This gives a sense of belonging to everyone who attends. There are artists representing migrant communities from the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific. There are several groups in the Print Fair whose members represent vulnerable people, including Kakano Youth Collective and Toi Ora Live Trust. For them, the Print Fair is a way to develop confidence in their creative expression alongside peers and mentors in the printmaking community. 
 
Visitors to the Print Fair can talk to artists and become inspired to join a print group, of which several groups have a booth at the Print Fair including, Waitakere Printers Inc from Henderson and Rata Printmakers from Takapuna. This further helps to grow printmaking culture. 
 
For those members of the community who want to either start or deepen their arts alongside members of their community there are several ticketed, 3-hour workshops at an accessible price point, open to all levels.
 
The festival has over 120 participating artists, stall holders and volunteers coming together to make the event happen over the three days, developing networks between these groups which will become stronger each year as they return.
 
With food trucks, live music and a chill out zone, this is a family-friendly event where people can spend the whole day and return several times over the three days.

In 2023 and 2024, Toi Whakaata were invited to speak about Māori Tikanga and Mātauranga as integral to their print practice. They will be returning again in 2025 to delve deeper into specific concepts and will be designing the seating arrangements to align with their Kaupapa.
 Gabrielle Belz from Toi Whakaata will be leading 2 workshops called Whakapapa in Print.

Corban Estate Arts Centre is a smoke-free venue and will be promoted as smoke-free through social media posts, newsletters and Health and Safety briefings for our volunteers, artists and vendors. During the event volunteers will remind visitors and there will be appropriate signage on site.
 
Our two food trucks are local businesses which provide vegan and vegetarian options. They use 100% compostable plates, napkins and cutlery. The festival will have a waste management system provided by Clean Green with three options: recycling, compostable and general waste. Volunteers will ensure the public use the bins appropriately.
 
Public transport options, including the cycle route to the venue, will be promoted through our website, newsletter, social media and Bike Auckland. 
 
Our social media, newsletter and signage will invite people to bring upcycled clothing to print on, giving them a new lease of life and reducing consumption of fast fashion.

Requesting grant for:

We would like funding to cover the venue hire fees. 
 
In the first year, 2022, Corban Estate gave the festival a 50% discount on venue hire as we are a not-for-profit event. In 2023 and 2024 Corbans waved the venue hire fee entirely.  
 
However, for 2025, Corbans is charging 50% venue hire fee. Increased fees combined with less less funding means we have drastically slashed the budget in order to break even. However, venue hire is an absolute necessity. We will be running at a loss if this cost isn't met.

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

We would be in $2,000 debt.

Cost of participation:

Workshops are ticketed, though at an accessible price point. We will be asking for a koha for participation in the live printing activities as a way to try and fundraise, though in the past they have always been free.

Project: Remove and replace corner steel post

Location:

572C Te Atatu Road, Te Atatu Peninsula, Auckland, 0610, NZ

Summary:

The Te Atatu clubroom is a two storey building with external steel posts supporting the outside corners of the building. Due to the way the existing post was erected,  it has rusted through. We seek funding to replace one corner steel post that supports the outside of the clubrooms.

Expertise:

There has been little in the way of improving infrastructure at the club for several years,
hence there is a real need now to get certain things upgraded. We rely on the expertise of the engineers and builder we have received quotes from to fix the issue - we have not project managed the erection of a steel beam before.

Club homepage

 

 

Community benefits

Identified community outcomes:

 

Community benefits include:
A) keeping a sports club running that is in the heart of the community, delivering health and
wellbeing benefits for members and casual players
 
C) Our clubrooms can be hired out to the community (birthdays, matariki events, dance
classes etc) with the knowledge that the building is safe and will not cause any
safety concerns.

Alignment with local board priorities:

 

 Henderson-Massey

·     Our town centres are thriving, safe and inviting

Te Atatu Tennis Club is a hub for sport, but also a community venue (the least expensive hirage cost of any venue on the Peninsula). By supporting this project, the Henderson Massey board makes the building safe for hire. We need to make the building safe for those that use it.
 By supporting the project, The Board help keep Te Atatu Tennis Club open for use - having such an active sports facility in the middle of the village creates a great active, thriving atmosphere on the Peninsula.

Videography and Choreography Hours

If part funded, how would you make up the difference:

I am mainly  aiming to get the funding to cover Videography and choreography cost. This presentation would include focusing on the Indian dance performance and the video production, as these are central to celebrating motherhood and womanhood. I would seek alternative ways to reduce costs, such as sourcing costumes and makeup from local community resources, local businesses to support or volunteers, minimise use of hired rehearsal space. Additionally, I would consider scaling down the production size or duration while still maintaining the project's essence and impact. This approach ensures that the project's primary objectives are met, even with limited funding.

Summary:

The Crescendo Trust of Aotearoa is seeking funds towards our lease costs.  Following Crescendo’s feasibility study in 2023, it was identified that relocating to the Henderson area would support predicted growth in our target audiences, resulting in geographic accessibility
The Te Puna Creative Hub in Henderson (where Crescendo is now located) is a collaboration between Tātaki
Auckland Unlimited (TAU) and west Auckland-based iwi local,Te Kawerau ā Maki,

Expertise:

Crescendo has been delivering impact since 2012, working with some of the hardest to reach populations in
Aotearoa, empowering rangatahi/young people to reconnect to themselves and to community, seek meaningful
employment and lead to thriving future communities. We’re honoured that the majority of the rangatahi we work
with are of Māori and Pasifika cultural descent. The majority of our mentees are not in employment, education
or training (NEET) and many are in care or custody. Without our services, some of the rangatahi we work with
may still be in the justice and custody system, on supported benefits, suffering from poor mental health, battling
addiction and lacking the confidence and resilience to contribute meaningfully to our communities.

 Henderson-Massey

·     Culture and creativity are an integral part of community life

Crescendo’s Youth Music Mentoring Programmes support approximately 150 young people per year
including many at-risk youth from across West Auckland.
Our Music Mentoring Programmes provide a creative learning journey from our foundation programme developing music and audio production through to our apprenticeship programme providing vocational skills training to rangatahi through apprenticeships in Crescendo Studio to gain hands-on experience working on live audio jobs.
Led by industry professionals, for every level and stage of a young person’s journey, Crescendo’s programmes help young people to positively express themselves and nurture creativity through skills development in songwriting, audio engineering, music production and recording.
Many of the young people are referred to us from other community organisations, schools and social services from across the West Auckland. By offering alternative creative learning options to Henderson-Massey rangatahi we are supporting the well-being of the area as a whole.
Each term the young person’s artistic outputs and activities are showcased through live performances in the community. This gives them experience and confidence as they engage with their wider community and in turn offers Henderson-Massey communities the opportunity to engage with the arts in their local area.

Henderson-Massey Local Board views on the draft Contributions Policy 2025

File No.: CP2025/04877

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To invite local board views on the draft Contributions Policy 2025 for inclusion in the Governing Body decision report on 1 May 2025

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The most-recent full review of the contributions policy, was completed and adopted in December 2021, based on the investments in the Long-term Plan 2021-2031. This was operational from 10 January 2022.

3.       In April 2023, the Governing Body adopted the Contributions Policy 2022 Variation A which added investments over a 30-year period to support growth in Drury.

4.       In June 2024, the council adopted its new Long-term Plan 2024-2034, which sets out capital expenditure plans for this period. The Contributions Policy 2025 now proposed for adoption reflects these decisions.

5.       The draft Contributions Policy 2025 also includes investments over a longer time horizon for the Inner Northwest, and Auckland Housing Programme (AHPs) and to update the investments to be made in Drury beyond 2031. This follows through on the agreement in principle from December 2021 (FIN/2021/119) and subsequent noting in April 2023 (GB/2023/63).

6.       The remaining Investment Priority Area (IPA), the City Centre/City Rail Link (CRL) stations, will be added as a next step later in 2025/early 2026 as more information becomes available, Also in this timeframe updates will be made for additional investments in Drury West, and stormwater in Mt Roskill and Māngere.

7.       The Governing Body approved consultation on the draft Contributions Policy 2025 in September 2024 and consultation took place from September to December 2024.

8.       A memorandum and summary of feedback received from consultation was circulated to all local board and Governing Body members in February 2025. These are attached to this report as Attachment F.

9.       This was followed up with Subject Matter Expert (SME) attendance at local board workshops as requested by individual local boards.

10.     Any local board views agreed through this report will form an attachment to the decision-making report being presented to Governing Body on 1 May 2025.

a)      tuku / provide views on the draft Contributions Policy 2025 for inclusion in the Governing Body decision report on 1 May 2025.

 

Horopaki

Context

11.     Development contributions (DCs) allow for an equitable and proportionate share of the total cost of growth-related capital expenditure to be recovered from the development community. The Contributions Policy sets out how the council will recover from new development an appropriate and fair share of the cost of infrastructure investment attributable to growth.

12.     Auckland's population has grown substantially over the 12 years to the end of 2024, from 1.4 million to over 1.8 million at an average of 1.4 per cent annually. It is forecast to continue to grow, with approximately 200,000 more Aucklanders expected by 2034. The population is expected to grow by a further 400,000 by 2054[1].

13.     To support the development enabled by the Auckland Unitary Plan, we are facing both immediate and longer-term demands for infrastructure in growth areas. If we do not adequately plan for the delivery and funding of this infrastructure, the cumulative effects of this development could lead to an unfair rates burden on future ratepayers or a risk of infrastructure shortfalls for future residents.

14.     Auckland Council’s current contributions policy was introduced in January 2022 and later updated from June 2023 to extend cost recovery in Drury over a 30-year period instead of the previous 10-year approach.

15.     Between September and November 2024, the council consulted on a proposal to adopt a new policy that incorporates updated capital expenditure from the Long-term Plan 2024-2034, revised growth and interest rate forecasts, adjustments to project costs, and extended investment planning for Drury.

16.     The proposed policy also expands the 30-year cost recovery model to other Investment Priority Areas, including the Inner Northwest (Red Hills, Westgate, and Whenuapai) and Auckland Housing Programme (AHP) areas in Tāmaki, Māngere, and Mt Roskill. In addition, several smaller adjustments aim to ensure fairer cost distribution between ratepayers and developers.

17.     The policy proposed for consultation included $10.3 billion in growth-related capital investment in the period to 2034, increasing the average development contribution from $21,000 to $30,000, while contributions in Drury would rise from $70,000 to $83,000. The proposed policy also provided for $10.9 billion of investment in Drury, Inner Northwest, and the AHP areas in the period beyond 2034. With these investments included the average DC price across the region would rise to $50,000. Different charges apply to different geographical areas based on the relevant activity funding areas in the proposal.

18.     The Consultation Document (CD) provided to support consultation set out the key issues to be considered in assessing the proposal. The CD can be found at Attachment C. The key changes set out in consultation are summarised below.

Update for decisions in the LTP 2024-2034 and updates to Drury

19.     The draft Contributions Policy 2025 that was consulted on updated the capital expenditure projects to reflect the decisions made since 2021 and the associated investment planned over the 10-year timeframe of the LTP.

20.     The key changes include:

·        Level crossings – Takanini ($550 million)

·        Development of new town square in Henderson ($12.5 million)

·        Waterview catchment separation ($59 million) – updated costs.

21.     The current contributions policy included projects which are now funded as part of the NZ Upgrade Programme. Government decisions on the NZ Upgrade Programme had not been made at the time the Contributions Policy 2022 Variation A was adopted. We are now removing these projects from the policy as they are not expected to require council funding and there is no basis to recover any costs for them. Contributions collected for these projects to date will be re-allocated against similar projects within the same funding area.

22.     The assessment of requirements for stormwater infrastructure in Drury has now been completed. This identified one project the council would need to deliver in addition to those that would be provided by developers as a condition of resource consent, and this has been included in the draft policy. Some adjustments have now also been made to the timing of projects including reducing investment and deferral of the timing of open space acquisitions. The assumptions made for investments in Drury over the longer horizon have also been reviewed based on the latest available information and the capital expenditure included in the policy has been updated. This includes updated land cost assumptions, alignment with the Cost Estimation guide published by Auckland Transport, and the latest growth forecasts. These changes raised the DC price for Drury that was consulted on from $70,000 to $83,000.

23.     The draft policy will include a list of over 1,700 programmes and projects for which the council will seek to recover the growth share of costs through development contributions (see Attachment B).

24.     The table below shows the total investments with a growth component in transport, stormwater, reserves, and community facilities over the LTP period and their funding source in the CD. In this analysis and that which follows later it is assumed that National Land Transport Fund from Waka Kotahi will fund 51 per cent funding of qualifying transport projects.

25.     As a result of the capital expenditure changes in the period to 2034, updated forecasts of NZTA/Waka Kotahi funding and dwelling construction, and adjustments to the investments in Drury before and after 2034 the weighted average development contributions price for a standard residential unit would rise from $21,000 under the Contributions Policy 2022, Variation A to $30,000 under the draft Contributions Policy 2025. The average price increase is driven by the increased level of investment within the LTP period in the Investment Priority Areas (IPA). This is a weighted average and varies widely by location depending on the investments the council plans to make to support growth in each area.

Inclusion of investments in IPA areas beyond 2034

26.     The consultation proposed the addition of investments beyond 2034 to support growth in the IPA areas. The proposed investments and consequent changes to DC prices for each of the IPA areas is set out below.

Inner Northwest

27.     The LTP provides for investment of $155 million in transport and $139 million in reserves between 2024 and 2034. The table below shows the investments with a growth component in transport, reserves, and community facilities beyond 2034 and their funding sources. No stormwater investment is required by the council as the nature of infrastructure needed in this area is such that it is expected to be delivered by developers as a condition of resource consent.

28.     The additional funding requirement would increase the contributions price for the Inner Northwest from an average of $25,167 per household unit equivalent (HUE) to an average of around $98,000 per HUE when the investments beyond 2034 are added. Different charges apply to different geographical areas based on the relevant activity funding areas in the proposal. The proposed charges are set out in the table below.

Mt Roskill Auckland Housing Programme area

31.     The LTP provides for investment of $44 million in transport and $15 million in reserves between 2024 and 2034. The table below shows the transport investments with a growth component beyond 2034 and their funding sources.

32.     The additional funding requirement would increase the contributions price for the Mt Roskill from an average of $20,406, per HUE to an average of around $52,000 per HUE when the investments beyond 2034 are added. Different charges may apply depending on the combination of activity funding areas a development falls within. The primary driver of the higher DCs in the above range is the recovery of historic stormwater investments in the Inner West Triangle and the Waitematā Central funding areas.

Tāmaki Regeneration area

33.     The LTP provides for investment of $76 million in transport, $67 million in stormwater, $87 million in reserves, and $1 million in community facilities between 2024 and 2034. The table below shows the investments with a growth component in transport, community facilities and stormwater beyond 2034 and their funding sources.

34.     The standard of service for stormwater in Tāmaki has been planned to deliver the same level of service as in the Inner Northwest and Drury. This is higher than the service level presently provided by historical investment in the other brownfields areas that aren’t expected to develop. Accordingly, the scale of and cost of the investment required to redevelop the area is substantial.

35.     The additional funding requirement would increase the contributions price for Tāmaki from $31,157 per HUE to $119,114 per HUE when the investments beyond 2034 are added.

 

 

 

Other proposed changes to the policy

Funding areas

36.     Changes were proposed to funding areas to provide a more refined allocation of costs to development areas to better reflect beneficiaries of the planned infrastructure. The new proposed funding areas include:

·        new sub-regional funding areas at Paerata, Whau, Inner Northwest

·        a new local funding area at Avondale.

37.     Changes to neighbouring funding areas were proposed to accommodate these new areas.

38.     A number of other refinements were proposed to local and sub-regional funding areas to better reflect the beneficiaries of infrastructure. Details of these changes are included in Attachment E: Funding area maps.

Other changes

39.     Some technical changes were proposed to the policy to clarify its intent and ensure fairness. Changes were highlighted in the draft policy in Attachment A.

40.     Aside from the proposed changes discussed, the Contributions Policy 2022, Variation A was recommended as appropriate and fit for purpose and it was proposed to continue the unamended provisions in the current policy into the new policy.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

41.     Key issues addressed in the CD related to the uncertainty inherent in taking a 30-year view of growth and the infrastructure investment required to support that along with the impact that higher DCs would have on current landowners planning to develop and whether higher DCs would impact on house prices. Key points made in the advice that supported the adoption of the draft policy for consultation on these issues is set out below. Further advice on these matters and other issues raised in consultation will form part of the advice to the council on 1 May.

42.     The uncertainty associated with long-term planning is managed through the three-yearly review of our infrastructure planning priorities and funding through the council’s LTP. This allows the council to manage the risk of the pace of growth changing from our forecasts and consequent changes in the required infrastructure.

43.     Continuing with a 10-year focus would continue the uncertainty for developers, landowners, and other infrastructure providers. It would also make it difficult to recover a fair share of the funding of expected capital expenditure in years 11-30 from early developers to address the longer-term cumulative impacts of their development. This would risk development occurring without adequate infrastructure and place more demand on future ratepayers.

44.     These changes will not materially impact on house prices, which are driven by supply and demand and are not determined via a cost-plus methodology. That is, the developers are price takers. Their market power is limited, given they are part of a larger market, and their products are substitutable for near equivalents. Higher DC prices will eventually flow through to lower prices for raw land as the cost of enabling infrastructure is capitalised into the land value. However, they may have a short-term negative impact on the pace of development as developers respond to the change. Developers must absorb the cost into a lower land value. Depending on their financial position, they may either proceed with development, defer development and hold the land awaiting future value uplift, or on-sell the land to another developer.  Staff consider that these short-term effects are outweighed by better cost signalling and associated longer-term benefits.

45.     As these investments are being planned over decades, they are subject to refinement as investment plans are developed further, development intentions change, and economic conditions fluctuate. Future contributions policies will be updated as more refined information becomes available.

Consultation

46.     Public consultation ran from 30 September to December 2024, featuring webinars, in-person events, and an opportunity for submitters to present directly to councillors.

47.     Materials released to support consultation included the following documents attached to this report:

·        Attachment A: Draft Development Contributions Policy 2025

·        Attachment B: Schedule 8 Assets for which development contributions (DCs) will be used

·        Attachment C: Consultation Document - Contributions Policy 2025

·        Attachment D: How we set Development Contributions – Cost Allocation Methodology

·        Attachment E: Funding area maps.

Feedback received

48.     A total of 147 submissions were received, including 46 from organisations. 

49.     Key concerns raised included the impact of higher contributions on house prices and development, uncertainty around 30-year planning and cost escalation, the scale of stormwater investment in Tāmaki, delays in infrastructure investment, consideration of alternative funding sources, transparency of information, and specific issues with funding areas and projects.

50.     A full analysis of the feedback can be found in Attachment F.

Updates for Final Policy for Adoption

51.     Officers are analysing the points raised in the submissions. Advice on these points and further analysis conducted since the consultation process, including updated growth and economic forecasts, will be incorporated in advice to the Governing Body for decision making, planned for 1 May 2025. Potential changes to the proposed policy will also be presented at that time.

52.     The Government has announced intended reforms to infrastructure funding and financing as part of the Going for Housing Growth policy program. The reforms are planned for implementation alongside council long-term plans in 2027. The exact form the reforms take will only be confirmed once legislation has passed. Staff consider that the Contributions Policy will still be required for at least the next two years and the council should continue with the updates and improvements proposed.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

53.     Planning now for the funding of investments to support growth in the IPAs will ensure that the council is better able to deliver the infrastructure required for development in the IPAs to manage climate impacts of development and to connect to the rest of the city with a reduced climate impact. The proposal provides for early developers to meet a share of the costs of the infrastructure they will benefit from and create the need for, to address the cumulative impacts of growth.

54.     If plans for securing a share of funding with DCs from early developers aren’t made now, greater demands will fall on future ratepayers to deliver this infrastructure. While adjustments can be made to the DC policy in the future these can’t retrospectively secure revenue from early developers. General rates are the only practical alternative funding source to make up this shortfall. Given the competing demands on general rates there is a real risk that all the funding required won’t be available in the future. This will mean the council won’t be able to deliver the level of investment required, leading to a greater negative climate impact.

Local impacts and local board views

56.     The DC price varies by location depending on the cost of infrastructure required to support development in an area. These locations do not usually align to local board areas.

57.     A local board briefing session was held on 30 September 2024 to brief members on this topic. Local boards have received a memorandum to update them on the review of the contributions policy and the feedback from public consultation. 18 local boards accepted an offer for workshop briefing sessions which were held in March. The purpose of this report is to seek local board views.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

58.     Development contributions are assessed against the demand that different types of development generate on council infrastructure. Māori developments are assessed under broader development types based on the demand they generate. For example, kaumātua housing is treated the same as retirement villages, and marae are considered under community facilities.

59.     Iwi authorities with mana whenua interests were contacted prior to the start of consultation to seek expressions of interest in discussing and providing feedback on the proposed changes. All iwi authorities were also notified when consultation opened, further advising of how they could have their say. The Mana Whenua forum and other council forums were advised of the consultation.

60.     Seven submitters on the proposal identified as Māori. One response supported the proposed changes to update the policy for changes to the LTP and to reflect growth beyond 2034 in the IPA areas and four were opposed. In regard to the changes to Drury and the other changes proposed two were in favour and two against. The only comment received was that new development needs to be fully funded by developers.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

61.     The Long-term Plan 2024-2034 assumes DCs revenue of $2.0 billion over the LTP period. After completing the analysis of the cost of investments in the LTP that can be recovered with DCs and the impact of the proposed policy changes, it was estimated that the revenue would be $2.6 billion. The achievement of this revised revenue forecast requires, as a first step, the implementation of a contributions policy updated for the capital expenditure decisions in the LTP, and the other changes proposed in this report.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

62.     Forecasting long-term growth, infrastructure investment, and development contributions (DCs) carries risks, but these can be managed through the triennial long-term plans, policy adjustments, and reallocation or refunds of DCs if planned assets are not delivered.

63.     There is a risk that projected development and DC revenue may not be met, which will be managed by monitoring consent applications and DC revenue.

64.     The council ensures its contributions policy complies with legislation, but given the proposed increases in DCs, some developers may challenge the policy.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

65.     The Governing Body will consider the feedback and updates to the proposed policy and make a decision on the final policy adoption on 1 May 2025.

Auckland Transport Kōkiri Quarterly Update - March 2025

File No.: CP2025/06377

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To provide an update on projects in the local board’s Kōkiri Agreement 2024/2025 and seek any requests for changes.  

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 and provides an opportunity for the local board to request changes to the agreement.

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      whiwhi / receive the April 2025 quarterly update on the Kōkiri Agreement 2024/2025

 

Horopaki

Context

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

a)   October/November - AT provides quality advice to local boards on the next financial year’s work programme  

b)   March - Local boards provide their feedback, prioritising projects or programmes and requesting levels of engagement for each project

c)   April/May - AT responds to that feedback, and a Kōkiri Agreement is written for each local board

d)   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 process and by providing any requests for changes through the quarterly reporting.

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 AT 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. guidance

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 are working 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.

 

This agenda report includes the following attachments:

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

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

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

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

12.     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. 

13.     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

14.     Kōkiri 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.”

15.     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.  

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

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

18.     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

19.     The local board endorsed the Kōkiri Agreement at its 16 July 2024 business meeting. This report provides the first quarterly update on projects in the Kōkiri.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

20.     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. 

21.     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

22.     Kōkiri 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

23.     Generally, this report has limited financial implications for the Henderson-Massey 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.

24.     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

25.     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.

26.     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.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

27.     After receiving this report, AT will respond to any resolutions received.

28.     In March 2025, AT will conduct its annual Forward Works Programme brief which starts the process to develop the Kōkiri Agreement 2025-2026.

Horopaki

Context

Project Kōkiri

7.       In mid-2023, Kōkiri was initiated to build a more structured and supportive relationship between local boards and Auckland Transport (AT).

8.       The project was in part a response to the 2020 Review of Auckland Council’s Council-controlled Organisations which highlighted the need for local boards and Auckland Transport to work more meaningfully and collaboratively.

9.       AT has taken steps to improve information flow and local board decision-making, including:

·    instituting an annual forward works programme briefing for all local boards

·    increasing the number of updates sent to local boards

·    providing local board insights in all project engagement

·    participating in Auckland Council’s CCO Engagement Plan reporting.

10.     Auckland Transport aims to provide a better basis for communication and understanding of roles, responsibilities, limitations, and opportunities. 

11.     The overall purpose of this process is to identify local board interest in Auckland Transport projects and programmes and to clearly express the preferred levels of local board engagement.

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

Collaborate

Auckland Transport and the local board are working 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.

Consult

Auckland Transport leads the project or programme but works with the local board providing opportunities to input into the plan. If possible, Auckland Transport incorporates the local board’s feedback into the plan; or provides clear reasons if it is not able to.

Inform

Auckland Transport leads the project or programme informing the local board about progress. Local board members may be asked to provide their local insights, however there is no expectation that the project must be modified based on that input.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

13.     Auckland Transport have reviewed priorities identified in the Henderson-Massey Local Board Plan 2023 aligned to transport goals and have considered these where possible.

14.     Auckland Transport presented its 2025-2026 forward works programme at a workshop 5 November 2024.

15.     This report seeks local board feedback on the proposed work programme and local board priorities on the levels of engagement (collaborate, consult and inform) for the list of projects and programmes.

16.     Auckland Transport resource is limited. Projects in the collaborate and consult require significant staff and elected member time such as:

·    providing quality advice, including technical advice on options and their costs as well as benefit analysis.  Often this advice involves written advice and the opportunity to ask experts questions at a workshop.

·    considering the advice, time is required for members to process and understand the advice provided.

·    making a formal decision, i.e. feedback about a project or programme requires a report to be submitted and a resolution made at a public meeting.

17.     Auckland Transport recommends the local board reserves categorising projects in collaborate and consult for the projects of highest priority, such as local board transport capital fund projects.

18.     Other projects and programmes that may be at the ‘collaborate’ level include any projects which the local board has delegated financial control over either by Auckland Transport, council or by another government agency like New Zealand Transport Agency.

19.     There may also be projects or programmes that a local board wants to deliver but is not currently identified in AT planning. Local boards may choose to advocate for these projects or programmes.

20.     There may be projects or programmes that the local board considers are not supported by the community it represents.  This report provides an opportunity for the local board to express its community’s concerns about proposed work. AT will consider and may decide not to proceed with these projects based on the local board’s feedback.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

21.     Auckland Transport 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. 

22.     Auckland Transport 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

23.     In 2022, the mayor provided Auckland Transport with a Letter of Expectation which directed Auckland Transport to improve the relationship with local boards, including providing more opportunity to influence decision-making. Specifically, that:

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

24.     Auckland Transport’s ‘2023-26 Statement of Intent’ reflects this direction stating that:

“We (Auckland Transport) will engage more meaningfully and transparently with local boards, recognising that they represent their communities, and that they should have greater involvement in local transport projects that affect those communities. This means a genuine partnership where we seek to understand the unique and diverse needs of each local board at a regional level, not just by project. We will work in partnership to integrate those needs into our planning. We will support local boards to communicate integrated local transport planning to their communities.”

25.     Project Kōkiri provides an annual process where local boards prioritise a group of key programmes or projects, identifying them to AT, and setting engagement levels that capture the local board’s expectations. This plan forms the basis for regular reporting on key programs and projects.  Project Kōkiri will be supported by regular updates to provide transparency.

26.     Project Kōkiri was developed working closely with Auckland Council’s Governance Division.  It has also been reported generally monthly to the Local Board Chair’s Forum and discussed with a reference group of local board chairs.

27.     Further, this work relies on historical engagement with Auckland Council and other Council Controlled Organisations.

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

Local impacts and local board views

28.     The local board had a forward works programme briefing on 5 November 2024 to receive quality advice on the programme. The response from both elected members and staff supporting local boards has been positive. They have been specifically supportive of the large amount and quality of information provided, the detailed discussion with subject matter experts, and attendance at workshops by Auckland Transport executive leaders.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

29.     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.

30.     AT’s Māori Responsiveness Plan outlines the commitment to 19 mana whenua tribes 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

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

31.     This decision has no financial implications for Henderson-Massey Local Board because Auckland Transport funds all projects and programmes.

32.     Local boards do have a transport budget through the local board transport funds, and these projects are included in this report. However, their financial implications are reported separately.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

33.     The proposed decision does carry some risk. 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 to AT and therefore the ratepayer.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

34.     After receiving this report, AT will review the formal feedback from all local boards.

35.     AT may engage with the local board directly after receiving their formal resolutions to clarify positions or to discuss the proposed levels of engagement.

36.     By mid-May 2025, AT will provide a memo outlining its response to this report. This memo will provide the basis for future engagement.

37.     In June 2025, AT will draft a report with an attached annual ‘Kōkiri’ (local board transport agreement) stating how AT and the local board will engage over the next 12 months

Allocation of decision-making responsibilities for council-controlled organisation activities coming in house

File No.: CP2025/06343

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek feedback from local boards on the proposed approach to allocating decision-making responsibilities between the Governing Body and local boards as part of Annual Budget 2025/2026 decisions. In particular, for urban regeneration, property management and economic development activities which move into Auckland Council as a result of council-controlled organisations (CCO) reform decisions.

2.       To identify any additional matters requiring review.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3.       The CCO reform package in the Mayoral proposal, considered whether CCOs and the Auckland Council Group are structured in the best way to deliver on the long-term plan and its broader vision for Auckland. The goals of the reform included improving democratic accountability, strategic direction and council group effectiveness and efficiency.   

4.       In December 2024 the Governing Body confirmed structural changes to move urban regeneration, property management and economic development activities into Auckland Council no later than 1 July 2025.

5.       This means that decision-making responsibility for the activities currently governed by the Eke Panuku and Tātaki Auckland Unlimited (TAU) boards needs to be allocated by the Governing Body to either the Governing Body or local boards in accordance with section 17 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009. This will be recorded in the allocation of decision-making table (allocation table) for inclusion in the Annual Plan 2025/2026.

6.       For urban regeneration, staff recommend decision-making for the overall programme and associated budgets, and the city centre and waterfront programme sit with the Governing Body. Decision-making responsibility for implementing agreed priority location programmes would sit with local boards. 

7.       It is recommended that decision-making responsibility in relation to property and marina management also sit with the Governing Body, noting that further work is underway through the Group Property Review which might result in changes in the future.

8.       In the future, new urban regeneration or development programmes could be established.  The council proposes to undertake further work to clarify how these processes can best reflect the principle of subsidiarity. 

9.       For economic development activities staff do not consider that substantive changes to the existing allocation table are required. The allocation table already outlines that decisions on the regional economic development strategy, business improvement district (BID) policy, city centre and Auckland-wide economic development programmes sit with the Governing Body. Local boards have always held decision-making responsibilities for influencing local BID programmes, local economic development plans, projects and other local initiatives.

10.     Staff are aware that legislative change is proposed to bring several Auckland Transport functions into the council parent and the matters covered in this report should assist with the process of allocation of those decisions to the Governing Body or local boards in the future.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      provide feedback on staff proposals relating to the allocation of decision-making responsibility for:

i.        the urban regeneration and property management activities currently governed by the Eke Panuku board

ii.       the economic development activities currently governed by the Tātaki Auckland Unlimited board

to either the Governing Body or local boards in accordance with section 17 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

b)      note that staff recommendations and feedback from local boards will be considered at the Governing Body meeting on 29 May 2025 and associated changes to the allocation of decision-making table will be implemented as part of Annual Plan 2025/2026 decisions 

c)       note that further work is required in relation to determining the future decision-making allocation on:

i.        funding of new priority urban regeneration or development locations as additional programmes are identified

ii.       how anticipated demand from local boards for local economic development and urban regeneration advice is to be addressed

iii.      property management decisions (undertaken as part of the Group Property Review)

d)      provide feedback on any other matters requiring review.

 

Horopaki

Context

CCO reform decisions included moving urban regeneration, property and economic development activities in-house

11.     The CCO reform included analysis on the rationale for and performance of the current CCO model, and structural reform options for three CCOs – Auckland Transport, Eke Panuku and Tātaki Auckland Unlimited. The goals of the reform are to improve:

i.        democratic accountability over projects and services delivered to Aucklanders by CCOs

ii.       strategic alignment between council decision making and what CCOs do for Aucklanders

iii.      the effectiveness and efficiency of how the Auckland Council Group operates.

12.     Decisions on CCO reform were made on 12 December 2024 (GB/2024/179) and included transferring and integrating urban regeneration, property management and economic development activities into council. Key reasons for this integration include:

·    Urban regeneration – strengthening council’s ability to coordinate planning, strategy and delivery in a place-based way, including around strategic growth opportunities, large-scale developments and urban regeneration.

·    Property management – improving processes for buying, managing and selling council assets and improving collaboration across the council group to achieve greater financial and strategic value from property assets.

·    Economic developmentincreasing the council’s economic policy capability, identifying new opportunities and integrating advice on economic development issues into broader decision-making.

13.     As a result, there may be some additional decisions to be made by the Governing Body or local boards, that were previously made by the Eke Panuku and Tātaki Auckland Unlimited Boards.

Legislation sets how decision-making is allocated, including the use of the subsidiarity principle 

14.     The basis on which decision-making responsibility is allocated is what is known as the subsidiarity principle, as set out in Section 17 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 (LGACA). This states that decision-making should be local unless the nature of the activity is such that decision-making on an Auckland-wide basis will better promote the well-being of communities across Auckland because:

·   the impact of the decision will extend beyond a single local board area, or

·   effective decision-making will require alignment or integration with other decisions (that sit with the GB), or

·   the benefits of a consistent or co-ordinated approach across Auckland will outweigh the benefits of reflecting the diverse needs and preferences of the communities within each local board area.

15.     The Governing Body is responsible for allocating decision-making responsibility for non-regulatory activities in accordance with the principles outlined above, after considering the views and preferences expressed by each local board. The allocation of decision-making responsibility is then recorded in the Decision-making responsibilities of Auckland Council’s Governing Body and local boards Policy, which is included in each year’s Annual Plan (or the long-term plan every third year). The core part of this policy is what is generally known as the allocation table, which lists the non-regulatory activities for which the Governing Body and local boards have decision-making responsibility.

16.     The allocation table, with proposed changes shown, is included at Attachment A. Also included at Attachment B is a list of the current Eke Panuku activities in the local board area, to provide current context.

17.     These proposals were workshopped with the Governing Body on 26 March 2025 and a recording of that meeting was emailed to all local board members on 28 March and can be found here. The presentation is available here.

Analysis and advice

18.     This section is divided into the three key activities being transferred to Auckland Council: urban regeneration, property management and economic development. It outlines where decision-making responsibility currently sits or is proposed to sit and the rationale.

Allocation of decision-making responsibility for urban regeneration (new section in allocation table)

19.     While activities that enable urban regeneration (such as planning, development streetscape improvements) are already covered in the allocation table, staff are proposing identifying urban regeneration as a stand-alone activity to enhance clarity. 

20.     Given the complexity and advanced state of council’s priority location urban regeneration programme, there is a need to minimise the risk of implementation being slowed down. Staff propose that this change is managed using the following principles:

·    delivery of approved urban regeneration programmes will continue, using current business cases and detailed budgets (approved by the Eke Panuku board)

·    the Governing Body will allocate budgets to these programmes. 

21.     The proposed allocations relate to current programmes and in part are in recognition that these must continue without issues despite the structural change. Further decisions will need to be made for new programmes that will be developed over time which cannot be accommodated prior to 1 July. This includes the governance and budget allocation of any new programmes.

Proposed additions to the allocation table

22.     The principles set out in Section 17 of the LGACA (set out at Paragraph 14 above) have been applied to existing urban regeneration activities. Table One sets out the proposed additions to the allocation table, with the reasoning for Governing Body or local board decision-making set out below. Note that the high-level wording is consistent with conventions in the existing allocation table.

Table One – Proposed additions to the allocation table for urban regeneration 

Proposed Governing Body decision-making

Proposed local board decision-making

·     Auckland-wide urban regeneration programme outcomes and objectives

·     Urban regeneration in city centre and waterfront

·     Overall funding plan for priority locations

·     Allocation of budget for priority location plans including sequencing of urban regeneration projects within annual budget envelopes 

·     Identification of priority locations for urban regeneration programme

·    Implementation of priority location plans, within parameters set by the Governing Body 

·    Local urban regeneration projects that are not part of the Auckland-wide urban regeneration programme, for example streetscape improvements or local service property optimisation projects

 

Proposed allocation to Governing Body: decision-making over urban regeneration programmes

23.     Decision-making responsibility for regional urban regeneration activities is proposed to be allocated to the Governing Body as follows:

·   Auckland-wide urban regeneration programme outcomes and objectives – the overall programme has region-wide outcomes, such as commercial and housing development. Therefore, the Section 17 principles of taking a consistent and coordinated approach across Auckland and enabling alignment with other decisions that sit with the Governing Body, are considered to be met.

·   Urban regeneration in the city centre and waterfront – these programmes are recommended to sit with the Governing Body because the scale, influence and impact of these programmes extend beyond just the Waitematā Local Board area. The success of the city centre is important for Aucklanders, New Zealanders and visitors as a regional destination.

·   Overall funding plan for priority locations – the Governing Body will allocate overall funding for the lifetime of programmes, often over 10-20 years or more.

·   Allocation of budget for priority location plans including sequencing of urban regeneration projects within annual budget envelopes - the nature of revenue and funding available for urban regeneration and the manner in which programmes progress, is based on elements such as market forces, and regulatory processes. This means that budgets cannot easily be apportioned to local boards and need to sit with the Governing Body, at least initially.

·   Identification of priority locations for urban regeneration programme – decision-making over identification of priority locations for the overall programme is proposed to sit with the Governing Body as new locations and programmes will form part of the Auckland-wide network.

Proposed allocation to local boards: decision-making over urban regeneration programmes

24.     The following activities are proposed to be allocated to local boards:

·   Implementation of priority location plans, within parameters set by the Governing Body – this will include an annual work programme specifying projects, sites and/or activities in the local board area.

·   Local urban regeneration projects that are not part of the Auckland-wide urban regeneration programme, for example streetscape improvements or local service property optimisation projects – these may be projects that a local board has identified as a local priority in its local board plan and has allocated local funding to.

Further work to be done to review urban regeneration decision-making activity

25.     In alignment with council’s direction to empower local boards to carry out their local leadership role, staff consider that it may be possible to allocate further responsibilities to local boards. However, further work is required to test this assumption.

26.     Staff propose that the current work being overseen by the Joint Governance Working Party also consider ways to give local boards a meaningful role in shaping the case for any new urban regeneration or development priority areas.

Practical application of decision-making for urban regeneration in 2025/2026

27.     Table Two outlines how the allocation of urban regeneration responsibilities would work in practice. The table also includes a column outlining the work and decisions that staff would undertake under delegation.

Table Two – Proposed urban regeneration programme decision-making in practice

Governing Body (or Committee)

Local Boards

Staff via Chief Executive general delegation (from GB and local boards)

·    Approves Auckland Plan, land use and infrastructure policy

·    Approves urban regeneration investment through the LTP/Annual Plan, including:

o Urban regeneration budget

o Revenue target from asset recycling (property sales)

o City Centre Targeted Rate programme

·    Approves new priority locations or regional urban regeneration programmes

·    Approves parameters for investment in priority locations including strategic outcomes, high-level costs, benefits, and delivery timeframes.

 

·    Decision-maker for city centre and waterfront programmes

·    Approves acquisition of property

·    Approves disposal of non-service property

·   Consulted prior to LTP, annual plan, new priority locations and for city centre and regional programmes

·   Endorses high-level programme business case for priority locations, including masterplan

·   NEW Approves annual work programme specifying projects, sites and/or activities in the local board area

·   NEW Approves annual placemaking and activation plans and budget for its area

·   NEW Approves urban regeneration project plans within the parameters set out within approved programme business cases (i.e. scope, cost, location, benefits delivered)

·    Provides advice to Governing Body and local boards to inform their respective decisions in relation to urban regeneration

·    Implements approved urban regeneration programme business cases and projects in accordance with delegations

·    Executes property transactions, including preparing go-to-market strategies for development sites (within parameters set by local boards)

·    Provides regular delivery performance reporting to Governing Body and local boards

·    Works closely with local boards, both formally and informally, from urban regeneration plans, to design of public realm projects to property optimisation, regular workshops, meetings and site visits

Allocation of decision-making responsibilities for property and asset management 

28.     Auckland Council will become responsible for Eke Panuku functions including the management of commercial properties, property transactions (sales and acquisitions) and management of significant assets like the city centre marinas.

29.     Table Three sets out the statutory decision-making responsibilities of the Governing Body, which may be delegated to local boards. This is outlined in the first section of the Decision-making responsibilities of Auckland Council’s Governing Body and local boards Policy.

Table Three – Property and marina management statutory decision-making

Governing Body statutory decision-making

Local board decision-making that is delegated from the Governing Body

·    Regulatory decisions and statutory responsibilities e.g. disposals

·    Service optimisation decisions over local service property

30.     Table Four sets out non-regulatory decisions, which can be allocated to local boards, reflected in the allocation table.

Table Four – Property and marina management non-regulatory decision-making (new text in the ‘facilities and asset management section)

Governing Body decision-making (statutory and non-regulatory activities)

Local board decision-making (non-regulatory and delegated decisions)

·    Commercial property and marina management

·    Management of the non-service property infrastructure as identified in the Infrastructure Strategy

·    Acquisition of new local community facilities (including local libraries, local sport and recreation facilities, local parks and reserves), and their specific location, design, build and fit out within budget parameters agreed with the Governing Body

Governing Body decision-making over property and asset management

31.     The Governing Body has an overarching statutory responsibility for managing the network of facilities and overall financial oversight of the council.

32.     Commercial property and marina management are allocated to the Governing Body because these properties are not delivering local council services and are an important financial contributor to council budgets. This is also the case with management of non-service property in line with the Infrastructure Strategy.

Local board decision-making over property and asset management

33.     Local boards oversee the delivery of community services (such as libraries and community services), in ‘local service properties’. The Governing Body has delegated some decision-making to local boards enabling them to oversee the disposal of local service properties and reinvest this to achieve other community outcomes. This is called service property optimisation, for example by merging two council services into one building and selling the other property. Local boards also have decision-making over the acquisition of new local community facilities including their specific location, design, build and fit out within budget parameters agreed with the Governing Body.

The Group Property Framework is intended to provide principles, guidance and recommendations which will assist in improving decision-making on council’s property portfolio   

34.     The group property framework is intended to provide an overarching guide to the management of property across the council group, based on robust principles and agreed definitions. The scope of the group property review was agreed by the Revenue and Expenditure Committee in September 2024 (link to scope).

35.     Some local boards have previously expressed concerns around a lack of information and advice on local service and non-service properties, including how property classifications are changed. The draft framework is expected to include recommendations that may address these concerns, for example:

·   clarifying whether properties are service, non-service, local and non-local to ensure that local boards are given clear advice and decision-making over optimisation opportunities

·   recommending a matrix team be established consisting of key property staff across council to present the full options to local boards for property optimisation options in their area.

Allocation of decision-making for economic development activities

36.     Economic development activities currently delivered by TAU are being transferred to Auckland Council. There are no substantive changes proposed for the decision-making responsibility for these activities, as reflected in Table Five

37.     While the allocation of decision-making is not proposed to change, council will need to make additional decisions on economic development initiatives, for example in areas such as the Auckland Innovation Network and the Te Puna creative precinct. This change is intended to increase democratic accountability.

Table Five – Economic development decision-making (no new allocations, some minor changes proposed)

Governing Body decision-making

Local board decision-making

·    Regional economic development strategy and Business Improvement District (BID) Policy

·    Auckland-wide and city centre economic development programmes and initiatives

 

·     Business improvement district (BID) programmes including establishment of new BIDs within parameters set by the BID Policy and recommending BID targeted rates to the Governing Body

·     Local economic development plans, projects and initiatives within parameters set by regional strategies, policies and plans

Business improvement district (BID) programmes

38.     In relation to the BID Programmes, the BID Policy outlines key decision-making responsibilities that sit with local boards and expressly recognises that within Auckland Council, local boards are the primary relationship lead with BID operating business associations. Other responsibilities that sit with local boards in relation to BIDs include:

·   approval of the establishment of a new BID programme and boundary area

·   approval of any changes or amendments to an existing BID programme boundary area

·   annually recommending BID programme targeted rate grant amounts to the Governing Body

·   recommending to the Governing Body proposed changes to a BID targeted rate mechanism.

39.     Local boards may provide additional support to BID-operating business associations and BID programme delivery through their local board annual work programmes and budgets. In business districts or town centres that are not part of (or not big enough to form) a BID programme, some local boards actively partner with local businesses to develop or deliver initiatives that promote local economic development.

Local economic development plans and initiatives

40.     In 2024, the reference to local economic development plans, projects and initiatives in the allocation table was removed from the allocation table after TAU funding for local economic development support ceased. The proposal to reinstate this in the allocation acknowledges that budget and resources support an activity rather than define its existence as a council function.

41.     Local boards have in the past expressed interest in receiving greater support for developing and implementing local economic development initiatives in their areas. While there is currently no additional resource for local economic development activities, it is anticipated that local boards will continue to seek staff advice on these activities, and this will need to be addressed. Note that some local boards have funded economic brokers to deliver local economic development outcomes. 

Clarifications around economic development in the allocation table

42.     Staff also propose the following minor edits to the allocation table to bring it up to date with current policies, which are shown in Attachment A:

·   removing reference to BID strategic direction in the allocation to local boards. The removal of this acknowledges that the business association is a membership based incorporated society in structure and it is the members of that society who set the strategic direction of the association and its activities.  Council can advocate for a common strategic direction between the local BID programme and local board but is not the decision maker of the BIDs strategic direction.  

·   removing reference to Auckland Economic Development Action Plan 2021-2024 and investment framework from the Governing Body’s allocation because this action plan is out of date.

·   removing reference to regional business events, and branding and marketing for the city centre, metropolitan centres and spatial priority areas as set out in the Future Development Strategy from the allocation to Governing Body because these examples aren‘t reflective of current and planned activity delivered by the economic development function.

Other amendments to the allocation table

43.     As shown in Attachment A, other changes to the allocation table are designed to enhance clarity. These include formatting changes that separate activities that have been, to date, clustered together in the allocation table e.g. separation of planning and development activities from economic development activities, creation of a facilities and asset management category/activity, incorporating the existing allocation of asset renewals and upgrade responsibilities (currently at the end of the table) into the facilities and asset management section.

44.     The changes also include new explanatory notes for new activities e.g. clarification of the purpose of the urban regeneration programme.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

45.     No climate impacts have been identified as a result of the changes proposed in this report.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

46.     The transfer of urban regeneration, property management and economic development activities to Auckland Council will have a range of impacts on the Auckland Council Group. These include direct political direction to staff, improved integration of activities and outcomes and efficiency gains.

47.     While there are no new resources or budgets proposed as a result of the transfer of these activities, it is likely that demand for advice and support may increase with direct political decision-making.

48.     The Governing Body will make a decision on the proposed allocation of decision-making responsibility for the transferred Eke Panuku and TAU activities on 29 May 2025, and these will be reflected in the allocation table as part of Annual Plan 2025/2026.

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

Local impacts and local board views

49.     Existing urban regeneration, property management and economic development activities are coming in house from 1 July. The major change local boards will see, is where staff come to them seeking approval of urban regeneration activities, rather than support, endorsement, or for information.

50.     As noted elsewhere in this report, when existing urban regeneration programmes are completed, new programmes and activities will be considered. It is expected that local boards will have a greater role in decisions on those.

51.     Greater clarity around property management decision-making will be provided in the Group Property Framework.

52.     Local economic development remains under local board decision-making responsibility. Until additional resource and/or budget is provided advice on new local economic development activity will not be possible, unless local boards fund this themselves.

53.     Changes to decision-making may result in increased local board member workloads, which will be assessed as activities are integrated into council.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

54.     There are no specific Māori impacts identified with the proposals outlined in this report. Engagement with Māori in relation to urban regeneration, property management and economic development is expected to continue in line with current practices.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

55.     No direct financial implications are anticipated from the reallocation of decisions to the Governing Body or local boards. Staff advice to support decision-making will continue, even if the decision-maker changes (for example some decisions made by the Eke Panuku Board will now be made by local boards).

56.     There will be financial implications if new urban regeneration or economic development programmes or projects are started. Local boards wishing to undertake new programmes or projects will need to fund them.  

57.     The financial implications of integration of urban regeneration, property management and economic development functions into council (for example the dis-establishment of Eke Panuku as an entity) are being addressed by other workstreams under in CCO Reform programme.

Ngā raru tūpono me ngā whakamaurutanga

Risks and mitigations

58.     The proposals in this report are intended to ensure a seamless transfer of urban regeneration, property management and economic development activities into council. Any issues that arise are not anticipated to be significant and will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

59.     With activities coming in house, political scrutiny and oversight may increase and create the need to change direction. This is considered to be more likely with new programmes than with current programmes but will need to be monitored and managed. This risk is balanced against the benefits of improved democratic accountability.

60.     As outlined in this report, a number of decisions will need to be made as existing urban development programmes advance to a point where resources are freed up to develop new programmes. As part of this it is anticipated that a review of current decision-making will be undertaken to ensure particularly local boards have the right degree of decision-making over local programmes and associated budgets. Staff consider there is time to manage this change and in terms of the allocation of decision-making, any further change can be reflected in Annual Plan 2026/2027.

61.     Some local boards may advocate for additional or new urban regeneration and/or economic development programmes in their areas. This may be reflected in local board plans which new local boards will develop post-Election 2025. A process to manage that will need to be established. Some local boards may also wish to fund such programmes to support commencement and resource needs will need to be carefully considered to respond to this.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

62.     The Governing Body will make decisions on the allocation of decision-making responsibility on 29 May 2025. Local board feedback and resolutions will be reflected in the staff report. Any changes to the allocation table will be included in the Annual Plan 2025/2026, which is due to be adopted by the Governing Body on 26 June 2025.

Local board feedback on the Land Transport Management (Time of Use Charging) Amendment Bill

File No.: CP2025/06175

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To invite local board feedback on the Land Transport Management (Time of Use Charging) Amendment Bill.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       The Land Transport Management (Time of Use Charging) Amendment Bill (the Bill) seeks to enable Time of Use Charging (TOUC) in New Zealand. It has been referred to the Transport and Infrastructure Select Committee with a closing date of 27 April 2025.

3.       A joint project team from Auckland Council and Auckland Transport is leading work on the TOUC schemes in Auckland.  This work provides a strong evidence base to support council’s submission advocating for policy settings that would enable a successful scheme in the city. The work programme builds on work done over recent years, particularly “The Congestion Question” report by the Ministry of Transport from 2020 and the Select Committee inquiry into congestion pricing in Auckland in 2021.

4.       In parallel to the council/AT programme, the government has been advancing work to enable TOUC in New Zealand. The Bill was introduced to Parliament on 4 March 2025.

5.       At its meeting on 5 December 2024, the Transport, Resilience and Infrastructure Committee requested staff prepare a submission on this draft bill.

6.       On 12 February 2025, local board chairs and transport leads were invited to a Transport, Resilience and Infrastructure Committee workshop that outlined key aspects of the legislation and the proposed recommendations. The workshop presentation materials can be found in the agenda of the Transport, Resilience and Infrastructure Committee - Thursday, 6 March 2025.

7.       The programme team will develop a draft submission and seek endorsement from the Transport, Resilience and Infrastructure Committee at its 3 April 2025 meeting.

8.       An insights report will be a component of the draft submission, and this includes a summary, and all details of prior local board feedback provided in September and October 2024 (see Attachment A). The report will be included in the 3 April committee paper. 

9.       Local boards acknowledged the need to address congestion but raised concerns about transport accessibility, impacts on low-income communities, and those who must drive at peak times. The most common feedback emphasised the need for viable public transport alternatives and reinvesting revenue into improving services, particularly in deprived areas.

10.     Many boards also stressed that public transport issues must be resolved before introducing a time-of-use charge, as many residents lack flexibility in work hours or commute options. Concerns were also raised about financial burdens on households, with suggestions for exemptions and daily caps. Safety issues related to alternative routes to avoid charges were another key theme. Feedback focused on ensuring the scheme is effective, fair, and simple, with appropriate mitigations and revenue allocation.

11.     Providing feedback on this is an opportunity to influence how TOUC schemes can be implemented in a way that is beneficial for Auckland. It does not commit the council to implementing a TOUC scheme.

12.     The work programme has regularly reported to, and taken guidance from, the AT Design and Delivery Committee and the council TOUC Political Reference Group. Additionally, local boards have provided resolutions on the necessary core principles for an effective scheme.

13.     The government’s policy objectives are broadly aligned with those identified by the council and AT TOUC programme. However, there are some aspects of the Bill that are not consistent, particularly regarding scheme governance, mitigations and revenue. Further details are available in the workshop presentation (link above).

14.     Local boards received a briefing from the project team on 24 March.

15.     Any feedback from local boards will be appended to the Auckland Council /Auckland Transport (AT) submission. This is due by 4pm on 22 April 2025.

Public feedback on proposal to amend dog policy and bylaw

File No.: CP2025/06542

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek local board views on how the Governing Body Dog Policy and Bylaw Panel should address public feedback from people in the local board area to the proposal to amend matters of regional significance in the Auckland Council Dog Policy and Bylaw.

2.       To delegate one or more local board members to represent local board views on the public feedback to the Dog Policy and Bylaw Panel.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

3.       Staff have prepared a summary of public feedback to enable the local board to provide its views on how the Panel should address public feedback from people in the local board area to the proposal to amend matters of regional significance in the Dog Policy and Bylaw.

4.       The Governing Body adopted a proposal to amend matters of regional significance in the Kaupapa mo ngā Kurī | Policy on Dogs 2019 and Ture a Rohe Tiakina Kurī | Dog Management Bylaw 2019 in December 2024, and appointed a Dog Policy and Bylaw Panel to consider all public feedback and make recommendations, before a final decision is made.

5.       The proposal to adopt an amended policy and bylaw seeks to improve council’s approach to dog management in Auckland by minimising the risk of danger and distress to people, stock, poultry, domestic animals and protected wildlife, nuisance to people, damage to property and environment, risk of not meeting the needs of dogs and their owners and the inherent risk of conflict between users of shared spaces in Auckland.

6.       Council received responses from 5,207 people and organisations at the close of feedback on 23 February 2025. All public feedback is summarised in Attachment A. Feedback related to the local board area is in Attachment B. A user-friendly view of the feedback related to the local board by proposal can be viewed on council's AKHaveYourSay web page.

7.       All feedback is summarised by the following topics:

·    Proposal 1: Limit to number of dogs walked (six on leash, with maximum three of the six off leash at any one time)

·    Proposal 12B: Muriwai Regional Park

·    Proposal 2: Auckland Botanic Gardens

·    Proposal 12C: Tāwharanui Regional Park

·    Proposal 3: Hunua Ranges Regional Park

·    Proposal 12D: Wenderholm Regional Park

·    Proposal 4: Long Bay Regional Park

·    Proposal 13A: Restructure the policy to more clearly show its goal, focus areas, council actions, and rules

·    Proposal 5A: Mahurangi Regional Park East

·    Proposal 13B: Clarify rule that all dogs classified as menacing must be neutered

·    Proposal 5B: Mahurangi Regional Park West

·    Proposal 13C: Clarify who can provide behavioural assessments in relation to menacing dog classifications

·    Proposal 5C: Mahurangi Regional Park        Scott Point

·    Proposal 13D: Clarify what areas in Auckland require a license to keep multiple dogs on a property

·    Proposal 6: Pākiri Regional Park

·    Proposal 13E: Clarify how dog access rules are set

·    Proposal 7: Shakespear Regional Park

·    Proposal 13F: Clarify Auckland-wide dog access rules

·    Proposal 8: Tāpapakanga Regional Park

·    Proposal 13G: Clarify or correct errors in Policy Schedule 2: Dog access rules

·    Proposal 9: Te Ārai Regional Park

·    Proposal 13H: Remove outdated information in Policy Schedule 2: Dog access rules

·    Proposal 10: Waitawa Regional Park

·    Proposal 13I: Update dog access rules for Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountains)

·    Proposal 11: Whakanewha Regional Park

·    Proposal 13J: Remove outdated/duplicated bylaw content

·    Proposal 12A: Ambury Regional Park

 

 

8.       Staff recommend that the local board provide its views on how the Panel should address feedback from people in the local board area, and if it wishes, present those views to the Panel. Taking this approach will assist the Panel in making recommendations to the Governing Body about whether to adopt the proposal.

9.       There is a reputational risk that the feedback from the local board area is from a limited group of people and does not reflect the views of the whole community. This report mitigates this risk by providing local boards with a summary of all public feedback.

10.     Local boards can (if they wish) present their views to the Panel on 23 May 2025. The Panel will consider local board views and all public feedback before making recommendations to the Governing Body in June 2025. The Governing Body will make a final decision mid-2025.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      tūtohi / receive the public feedback from people in the local board area to the Governing Body proposal to amend matters of regional significance in the Auckland Council Kaupapa mo ngā Kurī | Policy on Dogs 2019 and Ture a Rohe Tiakina Kurī | Dog Management Bylaw 2019 in the agenda report.

b)      whakarato / provide its views on how the Governing Body Dog Policy and Bylaw Panel should address public feedback to the proposal in (a) to assist the Panel in its deliberations.

c)       whakatuu / appoint one or more local board members to present the views in (b) to the Governing Body Dog Policy and Bylaw Panel.

d)      tuku mana / delegate authority to the local board chair to appoint a replacement to any appointed member in (c) who is unable to present to the Panel.

 

Horopaki

Context

The local board has an opportunity to provide its views on public feedback

11.     The local board in accordance with council’s collaborative governance model[2] now has an opportunity to provide its views on how the Governing Body Dog Policy and Bylaw Panel should address public feedback from people in the local board area to the proposal.

12.     Local board views must be provided by resolution to the Panel. The local board can also choose to present those views to the Panel at a meeting scheduled for 23 May 2025.

13.     The nature of the local board views is at the discretion of the local board but must remain within the scope of the proposal and public feedback. For example, the local board:

ü  could indicate support for matters raised in public feedback

ü  could recommend how the Policy and Bylaw Panel address matters raised in public feedback

û  should not express its views on the proposal itself (that opportunity was provided prior to public consultation, the focus now is on how to respond to public feedback).

Council is required to have a policy on dogs and a bylaw to implement the policy

14.     The Dog Control Act 1996 requires Auckland Council to have a policy on dogs and a bylaw to give effect to it by specifying rules that dog owners must comply with.

15.     Council’s objective is to ‘keep dogs a positive part of the life of Aucklanders’ by:

·        maintaining opportunities for owners to take their dogs to public places

·        adopting measures to minimise the problems caused by dogs (including by promoting responsible dog ownership)

·        protecting dogs from harm and ensuring their welfare.

16.     The rules are enforced by the Animal Management unit using a modern regulator approach to compliance (for example information, education and enforcement).

17.     The policy and bylaw are part of a wider regulatory framework that includes the following:

·        The Dog Control Act 1996 manages matters relating to dog ownership, including their care, control and owner responsibilities for damage caused by their dog.

·        The Animal Welfare Act 1999 ensures that owners of animals and persons in charge of animals attend properly to the welfare of the animal.

·        The Code of Welfare for Dogs 2018 provides information to the owners and persons in charge of dogs about the standards they must achieve to meet their obligations under the Animal Welfare Act 1999.

The Governing Body proposed amending matters of regional significance in the policy and bylaw for public feedback

18.     On 12 December 2024, the Governing Body adopted a proposal to amend matters of regional significance in the Auckland Council Kaupapa no ngā Kurī / Policy on Dogs 2019 and Ture ā Rohe Tiakina Kurī / Dog Management Bylaw 2019 (GB/2024/181). It also appointed a Dog Policy and Bylaw Panel to consider all public feedback and make recommendations, before a final decision is made by the Governing Body.

19.     The proposal arose from a statutory review of the Dog Policy and Bylaw (see figure below).

20.     The proposal seeks to improve council’s approach to dog management in Auckland by minimising the risk of danger and distress to people, stock, poultry, domestic animals and protected wildlife, nuisance to people, damage to property and environment, risk of not meeting the needs of dogs and their owners from irresponsible dog ownership and the inherent risk of conflict between users of shared spaces in Auckland.

21.     The main proposals are outlined in the Table below:

·          3,084 on the proposal to clarify or change regional park dog access rules.

 

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

24.     A total of 240 people from the Henderson-Massey Local Board area provided feedback to the proposal.

25.     There was majority support for proposals to reorganise, simplify and clarify Policy and Bylaw content, split support for proposals to clarify dog access rules at Muriwai and Wenderholm Regional Parks, and majority opposition for the proposal to limit the number of dogs walked and the remaining proposals to change or clarify dog access rules at other regional parks.

26.     Key themes from the Auckland-wide feedback highlighted concerns with limiting the number of dogs and clarifying or changing the dog access rules at most of the regional parks.

27.     While some proposals may not be supported, public feedback also seeks alternatives other than the status quo. For example:

·        for Proposal 1: limit to number of dogs walked, of the 66 per cent (2,397) of Auckland-wide feedback opposed to the proposal: 

o   six per cent (146) supported a limit of four dogs, with no more than two off-leash

o   five per cent (113) supported a limit of four dogs, with no more than two off-leash unless licence obtained

o   four per cent (100) supported a limit of eight dogs, with no more than four off-leash

o   638 comments (around 30 per cent) supported introducing a dog walker license for qualified dog walkers.

·        for proposed changes to regional park rules, Auckland-wide individuals who opposed the changes:

o   generally wanted council to provide more dog-friendly or off-leash areas

o   some were not opposing the proposals, but instead expressing the view that the current rules are too restrictive.

Climate impact statement

24.     The Dog Policy and Bylaw do not directly address the climate change goals in Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland's Climate Plan. For example, the Policy and Bylaw focuses more on keeping dogs as a positive part of the lives of Aucklanders.

25.     There are no implications for climate change arising from decisions sought in this report.

Local impacts and local board views

27.     The Dog Policy and Bylaw impact local governance and are of high interest.

28.     Views from all local boards on a draft proposal were sought in October 2024 and are summarised in the 3 December 2024 Regulatory and Safety Committee agenda (Attachment C to Item 11).

29.     This report provides an opportunity to give local board views on how the Governing Body Dog Policy and Bylaw Panel should address public feedback from people in the local board area to the proposal, before a final decision is made.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

30.     The Dog Policy and Bylaw support manaakitanga, whanaungatanga and kaitiakitanga in the Independent Māori Statutory Board’s Māori Plan for Tāmaki Makaurau and the Schedule of Issues of Significance by providing regulations that help protect people and the environment from harm caused by dogs.

31.     Mana whenua and mataawaka were notified of the proposal and given the opportunity to provide feedback through face-to-face meetings, in writing, online and in-person.

32.     Six per cent (369) of the public feedback received was from people who identified as Māori. Of that feedback:

·          74 per cent (166) did not support the proposal to limit the number of dogs that could be walked, with 58 per cent preferring no change to the current rule

·          there was general overall support (more than 50 per cent) to reorganise, simplify and clarify the Policy and Bylaw content, however there was less support (47 per cent) to update dog access rules for Tupuna Maunga (ancestral mountains)

·          there was generally opposition to proposed changes to regional park dog access rules.

33.     Ngati Manuhiri Settlement Trust supported the majority of the proposals to simplify and clarify the Policy and Bylaw content and proposed changes to Long Bay, Mahurangi, Pākiri, Shakespear, Tāwharanui, Te Ārai and Wenderholm Regional Parks.

Proposed changes to the draft Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau: Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy

File No.: CP2025/06381

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To seek local board endorsement of the amended Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau: Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy following public consultation.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       On 10 December 2024, the Policy and Planning Committee approved public consultation on the draft of Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau: Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy [PEPCC/2024/131 and PEPCC/2024/132].

3.       A total of 402 pieces of feedback were received, through consultation and a People’s Panel survey. Overall, there is strong support for the draft strategy but also opportunities to make changes. A detailed feedback report is provided in Attachment A.

4.       Having considered public feedback, as well as local board resolutions on the draft strategy, staff propose changes to the draft strategy, the most significant being:

·    more explicitly emphasising the importance of equity and accessibility in providing open spaces and play, sport and recreation opportunities (including in the strategic directions, investment principles and policies)

·    greater emphasis on the importance of environment and biodiversity outcomes (including in the investment principles and Policy one)

·    greater emphasis on the purpose and benefits of regional parks (in Policy two)

·    including the capacity-focused approach (Option package two) for open space provision standards (in Policy two)

·    refining the strategic directions based on a range of other consultation feedback

·    making the decision-making responsibilities of local boards clearer

·    clarifying the meaning of ‘value for money’

·    providing clearer direction in the policy section to ensure local boards receive the necessary advice for decision-making

·    clarifying that the council attempts to acquire land early in the development process as budget is available.

5.       The proposed changes are reflected in the amended strategy (see final draft in Attachment B with track changes).

6.       Local boards have called for a better understanding of local impacts. Staff have developed examples of implementation scenarios, existing good practices and potential local applications of the new open space provision standards (see Attachment C), noting that much of how the strategy is implemented is at the discretion of each local board.

7.       In addition, staff are working with local board advisors to scope how advice to local boards could be improved to deliver on the strategy. To date, we have identified potential improvements: consolidating information provided to local boards, involving local boards earlier in planning processes, improving alignment between regional and local planning cycles, funding and budgets and providing information on trade-offs (see Attachment D).

8.       The Policy and Planning Committee will consider adopting the final amended strategy in May 2025. The agenda report will contain the local board resolutions.

9.       If the final amended strategy is adopted, staff will develop an implementation and monitoring plan, including tools and guidance, to support delivery by local boards and the Governing Body. Staff will also continue to scope improvements to local board advice.

 

Ngā tūtohunga

Recommendation/s

That the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

a)      ohia / endorse the final amended Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau: Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy in Attachment B.

b)      ohia / endorse updating the open space provision standards in the strategy with Option package two – capacity-focused approach: provide more open space than currently enabled in high- and medium-density areas where residents have low or moderate levels of provision.

Horopaki

Context

The draft strategy outlines how we will provide open spaces and sport and recreation opportunities

10.     As a regional public policy, the draft of Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau: Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy sets the strategic directions we seek to achieve for open space, sport and recreation in Auckland and against which we will monitor progress. It forms a unifying roadmap for the council group to deliver and for other non-council organisations and community groups to contribute. 

11.     It brings together five existing strategies, policies and plans and provides a refreshed and consolidated approach to planning and investment. It aims to provide open spaces and sport and recreation opportunities to benefit all Aucklanders, now and in the future, to improve the health of Tāmaki Makaurau.

The development of the draft strategy was supported by an advisory structure

12.     The development of the draft strategy was informed by a strong evidence base and supported by an advisory structure that met regularly to provide input and direction.

13.     The advisory structure includes the Open Space, Sport and Recreation Joint Political Working Group (featuring two councillors, two local board members and one Houkura member), an advisory and Māori rōpū (with mana whenua, mataawaka and sector representatives) and key kaimahi from across the council group.

14.     Local boards were also engaged throughout the development of the draft strategy via memos, presentations, briefings, workshops and business meetings (refer Attachment A, pages 3-4).

Gathering Aucklanders’ views provides an opportunity to further refine the draft strategy

15.     On 10 December 2024, the Policy and Planning Committee approved public consultation on the draft strategy [PEPCC/2024/131 and PEPCC/2024/132].

16.     Consultation was designed to seek Aucklanders’ views on the draft strategy and identify any relevant questions, concerns or additional information to strengthen or modify it.

17.     Consultation took place from 10 February to 10 March 2025 and was advertised on Our Auckland and in libraries. Staff also requested that local board engagement advisors and key stakeholders share the consultation opportunity with their communities and networks. The engagement approach involved online submissions via the Have Your Say project page, by email or postal mail, as well as in person drop-in sessions at libraries and Pasifika Festival and hui with the demographic advisory panels, key stakeholders and mataawaka.

18.     Staff also ran a People’s Panel survey in December 2024.

19.     The five topics we asked for feedback on were:

·    Where we are heading (strategic directions)

·    Our approach to investment (investment principles)

·    Making the most of our open spaces (policy one)

·    Providing the right open spaces in the right places (policy two), including two options for open space provision outlined below

·    Supporting Aucklanders to be more active more often (policy three).

20.     The consultation included the following two option packages to update the open space provision standards:

·    Option package one – High-density focused: provide more open space than currently enabled in high-density areas

·    Option package two – Capacity focused: provide more open space than currently enabled in high- and medium-density areas where residents have low or moderate levels of existing provision.

21.     These two option packages are explained in more detail from paragraph 31.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

The consultation feedback shows we are on the right track

22.     We received 149 pieces of consultation feedback, as well as 253 responses to the People’s Panel survey. Attachment A provides a detailed summary of the feedback.

23.     Submitters included members of the public, a range of partners and stakeholders (including organisations such as Aktive, Forest and Bird, Healthy Auckland Together, Property Council New Zealand and Te Whānau o Waipareira) and members of the council’s demographic advisory panels.

24.     There is strong support for:

·    the draft strategy overall

·    the five draft strategic directions, with the highest support for Strategic direction five: support Aucklanders to live healthy, active lives

·    the four draft investment principles, with the highest support for investment principle one: taking a benefits-led approach to improve the holistic wellbeing of people, places and the environment

·    all three policies, with the highest support for Policy one: making the most of our open spaces.

25.     Overall, submitters prefer a capacity-focused approach (Option package two) – taking an equity lens to deliver more open space where it is needed most in high- and medium-density areas – rather than a high-density-focused approach (Option package one) – delivering more open space in high-density areas – for open space provision standards.

26.     Analysis of the qualitative feedback outlined a range of key themes:

·    open and green spaces are essential for mental and physical health

·    all Aucklanders must have access to safe, well-maintained open spaces

·    open space planning needs to be an integral part of urban planning

·    open spaces must serve a wide range of functions

·    our resources should be used efficiently.

Staff propose changes to the draft strategy in response to the feedback

27.     Staff considered the feedback received and are proposing amending the strategy as a result (see Attachment A, pages 38-47).

28.     A summary of the most significant proposed changes is shown in Table One. In addition, staff have made minor changes to address specific feedback, clarify intent and meaning or update technical information.

Table One: Proposed changes to the draft strategy based on consultation feedback

·     More explicitly emphasise the importance of equity and accessibility in the strategy on pages 7, 8, 11, 34, 46, 81, 82, 85 and in the glossary

·     Include greater emphasis on the importance of environment and biodiversity outcomes on pages 14, 20, 25, 29, 31, 44, 45 and 46

·     Include greater emphasis on the purpose and benefits of regional parks on page 78

·     Include the capacity-focused approach (Option package two) for open space provision standards and delete the high-density focused approach (Option package one) on pages 46, 48, 49 and 52

·     Refine the strategic directions based on a range of other consultation feedback on pages 11, 12 and 14.

Staff also propose changes to the draft strategy in response to local board resolutions

29.     Staff have also amended the draft strategy in response to local board feedback received in November and December 2024. The key changes are presented in Attachment A (pages 48-49) and summarised in Table Two below.

Table Two: Proposed changes to the draft strategy in response to local board feedback

·     Make the decision-making responsibilities of local boards clearer, moving the table previously on page 23 to page 9

·     Clarify the meaning of ‘value for money’ in the strategy on page 17 and in the glossary

·     Provide clearer direction in the policy sections to ensure local boards receive the necessary advice for decision-making on page 28

·     Clarify that the council attempts to acquire land early in the development process on page 58.

30.     All proposed changes are included in track changes in the amended strategy (Attachment B).

Staff recommend a capacity-based approach to open space provision standards

31.     As part of the strategy development, staff are proposing updated provision standards for pocket parks and neighbourhood parks to provide better open space outcomes in high- and medium-density areas and greenfield areas. The provision standards help us to ensure we are providing the right open spaces in the right places so Aucklanders can play, be active and enjoy nature.

Summary of option packages analysis – for more details refer CP2025/06381

A report to local boards and to the Policy and Planning Committee in late 2024 provided detailed analysis of the two option packages. Staff recommended Option package two as the preferred option.

Both packages are outlined below. They reflect different ways of adding to our existing open space network across Auckland to continue serving the needs of a growing population.

Density

​Park type

​Current provision standards

​Option package one:
High-density focused

​Option package two:
Capacity focused (recommended)

High-density areas or other areas developed to an equivalent density

​Pocket parks 

​1000-1500m² provided at no capital cost to the council

​1000-1500m2 acquired at cost​ to the council regardless of capacity

1000-1500m² in areas with moderate or low capacity acquired at cost to the council

Neighbourhood parks 
(within 400m walking distances)

3000m² to 5000m2

5000m2 regardless of capacity

2000m² to 5000m2 depending on capacity

Medium-density areas

Pocket parks

No pocket parks

1000-1500m² provided at no capital cost to the council

​Neighbourhood parks 
(within 400m walking distances)

​3000m² to 5000m2

No change

2000m² to 5000m2 depending on capacity

Low-density areas

Neighbourhood parks 
(within 600m walking distances)

​3000m² to 5000m2

​3000m²

Urban density is based on the Auckland Unitary Plan zones. Varying provision standards based on planned intensification levels enables us to better provide according to the likely demand for public open space, as well as likely private open space provision levels. 

The capacity measure is a proposed addition to the existing policy. While the quantity of open space provision per capita is not a meaningful metric in isolation, it provides a basis of comparison when considering future provision across Auckland’s urban areas. There is no accepted international or national capacity standards. Based on local observations and international examples, we propose that capacity is considered low when below 10m2 of open space per person, moderate when between 10 and 20m2 and high when more than 20m2.

Both packages involve trade-offs, as shown below.

 

Trade-offs

Option package one
High-density focused

Delivers more open space in high-density areas than current policy but larger parks might be difficult to acquire due to land ownership and cost.

Is a simple standard to understand but not tailored to where provision is most needed.

Option package two
Capacity focused

Is more affordable than Option package one but does not deliver the same level of additional open spaces in high-density areas.

Takes an equity lens by focusing provision where most needed but is more complicated to understand and apply.

32.     To illustrate how the two open space provision option packages would apply on the ground, staff have developed some case studies (with maps), which are provided in Attachment C.

 

 

Consultation feedback supports the capacity-based approach

33.     Overall, respondents expressed the importance of open space for mental and physical wellbeing and their desire for open space provision to be an integral part of neighbourhood planning. Feedback highlighted the importance of taking an equity lens to open space provision, targeting areas where it is needed most.

34.     Consultation feedback (see Attachment A, page 33) shows an overall preference for a capacity-focused approach to open space provision (Option package two). The support for Option package 2 amongst Have Your Say submitters is similar across Auckland, and slightly higher in the north area.

Figure One: Preference for open space provision standards

35.     Stakeholders and partners also favour Option package two over Option package one.

36.     Property Council New Zealand, however, expressed concerns that either package was too rigid and that they would increase the cost of the council’s development contributions levy and ultimately development. The development sector also wishes for more delivery partnerships with the council. This can be investigated at implementation stage.

37.     Based on previous analysis and consultation feedback, staff recommend that the final amended strategy includes Option package two.   

Staff will continue work to support implementation of the strategy

38.     Both local boards and the Governing Body have decision-making responsibilities for the provision of open space, sport and recreations services and assets. 

39.     Staff have developed examples of local board planning and delivery scenarios and case studies of what good practice looks like (see Attachment C). They provide an overview of how key parts of the strategy could be applied locally and examples of things that are already being done well and we would like to see more of. These are included to aid local board understanding of what delivery could look like. How the strategy would be implemented if adopted would be at the discretion of local boards and the Governing Body in accordance with their decision-making responsibilities.

40.     Following feedback from local boards on the draft strategy prior to consultation, staff have been working with local board advisors and operational staff to understand opportunities to improve advice and support to local boards for implementation of the strategy.

41.     The multitude of documents, information and processes owned and managed by a range of teams across the council currently makes it difficult to provide concise, consistent and up-to-date advice to local boards. This impacts their ability to understand trade-offs and prioritise decisions to deliver for their communities.

42.     Preliminary findings point to potential improvements, such as consolidating information provided to local boards, involving local boards earlier in planning processes, improving alignment between regional and local planning cycles, funding and budgets and providing information on trade-offs (see Attachment D). 

43.     Staff will continue investigating potential improvements to the advice local boards receive, which will inform the development of an implementation and monitoring plan for the strategy (if adopted).

Climate impact statement

44.     The draft strategy considers how to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change and work to mitigate it, including by reducing emissions. One of the five strategic directions is to enhance our resilience to climate change and our contribution to mitigation, including through reducing carbon emissions, in line with Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland's Climate Plan.

45.     The draft strategy outlines what we will do to make this happen, including developing the blue-green network, accelerating the use of nature-based solutions, improving the environmental performance of our open spaces and facilities and adapting our open spaces and facilities on the coast and in flood-prone areas.

46.     While we already contribute to this strategic direction, the draft strategy proposes a ’do more’ approach to implementation. This is in recognition of the significant impacts of climate change on Aucklanders now and in the future.

47.     The investment approach in the draft strategy also includes a greater emphasis on identifying and quantifying the environmental benefits of our investment and designing initiatives to deliver multiple benefits, such as making recreation parks better able to support stormwater management.

Council group impacts and views

48.     Kaimahi from across the council group have provided input throughout the development of the draft strategy.

49.     Implementing the strategy will span across the investment areas identified in the council’s performance management framework.

50.     If the final amended strategy is adopted, an implementation and monitoring plan will be developed to support delivery. Kaimahi from across the council group will continue to provide input into this plan.

Local impacts and local board views

51.     Levels of support for the draft strategy was broadly similar among Have Your Say respondents across the region. Attachment A provides sub-regional breakdowns of the results.

52.     Local boards have been engaged throughout the development of the draft strategy. Two local board members were in the Open Space, Sport and Recreation Joint Political Working Group: Member Sandra Coney and Member Margi Watson. In addition, staff provided memos and briefings and presented at workshops and business meetings.

53.     Local boards provided resolutions on the draft strategy going for consultation at their November / December 2024 business meetings.

54.     While there was general support for the strategic directions and investment principles in the draft strategy, local boards made a range of resolutions seeking better guidance from staff on open space matters, particularly the understanding of local impacts.

55.     Staff have attempted to respond to local boards’ request for more targeted advice (see paragraphs 38 to 43 and Attachment C and Attachment D).

56.     Local boards will consider how to deliver on the strategy, if adopted, as part of their local board plans and work programmes.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

57.     The views of mana whenua and mataawaka have been sought throughout the development of the draft strategy.

·    The Open Space, Sport and Recreation Joint Political Working Group includes one Houkura member, first Tony Kake, replaced subsequently by Pongarauhine Renata.

·    Both the advisory and Māori rōpū included mana whenua and mataawaka representatives. All iwi were invited to join the rōpū or engage in the manner that best suited them.

·    Mana whenua and mataawaka organisations were kept up to date with progress and invited to provide feedback during the consultation process.

58.     Guided by the Māori rōpū, the draft strategy incorporates a te ao Māori lens, one of the expectations of success set by the Governing Body and a key theme identified in the background paper. It is adapted from the te ao Māori framework developed for Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri – Auckland Climate Plan, and builds on a single value, manaakitanga. It includes a focus on investing in ‘by Māori for Māori’ solutions, building the capacity and capability of mana whenua and mataawaka and partnering with mana whenua to co-design our spaces and places.

59.     Consultation feedback on the draft strategy highlighted the importance of focusing on equity and addressing barriers to participation for Māori. This can be achieved by targeting investment, supporting Māori-led initiatives, aligning delivery with Māori health providers to improve overall wellbeing and providing spaces and places that are safe, affordable and accessible.

60.     Feedback also called for embedding Māori leadership at decision-making and implementation levels, including support for co-governance arrangements which is reflected in the strategy.

Financial implications

61.     The strategy will be implemented using available budgets set during long-term plan and annual plan processes. When constrained by resourcing, the investment principles will support decision-makers in prioritising investment. 

62.     The draft strategy reflects the resource constraints faced by the council and the need to deliver value for money. The proposed investment approach emphasises the importance of establishing a robust evidence-based approach to investment and prioritisation to better support elected decision-makers. 

63.     Advice around investment in open space and sport and recreation will be based on a better articulation of costs and benefits, including in relation to local board plan priorities. This will be supported by a new tool to enable better identification, description and quantification of these benefits to help local boards prioritise investment.

64.     Consideration of a broad range of funding and delivery tools will support implementation, including making the most of what we have, delivering differently and partnerships.

Risks and mitigations

65.     Potential risks and mitigations are outlined below:

If…

Then…

Possible mitigations…

Local boards do not think the final amended strategy addresses their concerns

They will be less likely to support it, and the committee will be less likely to adopt it.

Medium reputational, strategic and delivery risk.

·          Staff have proposed changes to the draft strategy to reflect local board feedback.

·          Delivery of the strategy will be also supported by an implementation and monitoring plan. The three-yearly plan will set out what we will deliver and track progress against the five strategic directions. As part of this, staff are working to improve advice and support to local boards.

The final amended strategy does not provide clear enough direction to implementers

The strategy may not be incorporated into business as usual.

Low reputational, strategic and delivery risk.

·          Implementers provided regular input into development of the final amended strategy.

·          The implementation context, including financial constraints, has also informed the final amended strategy.

·          Staff are working with local boards on the advice and support they need for implementation.

·          Staff will continue to work with colleagues in planning for and supporting delivery, and monitoring progress.

The final amended strategy is perceived as unfunded.

Decision-makers may be less likely to adopt it.

Medium financial, reputational and strategic risk.

·          The final amended strategy sets strategic directions and investment principles to guide prioritisation and enable better informed discussions on future budget allocation.

Next steps

66.     Staff will include local board views when seeking adoption of the strategy from the Policy and Planning Committee in May 2025. The five existing strategies, policies and plans forming Auckland Council’s open space, sport and recreation policy framework would be rescinded.

67.     Staff will present the consultation feedback and proposed changes to the strategy to the Open Space, Sport and Recreation Joint Political Working Group at its meeting on 11 April 2025. Input and direction from the joint political working group will be reflected in the agenda report to the Policy and Planning Committee.

68.     Staff will also present the consultation feedback and proposed changes to the strategy to the Local Board Chairs’ Forum on 14 April 2025.

69.     If the final amended strategy is adopted, staff will develop an implementation and monitoring plan for committee’s approval. The plan will be developed with input from relevant staff across the council group, including Governance and Engagement. The plan would help embed the strategy’s investment principles into how we work, deliver on the strategic directions and monitor and evaluate delivery against the directions.

70.     Local boards have significant decision-making responsibilities with regards to implementing the strategy at the local level. This involves delivering open spaces and sport and recreation opportunities to their communities in line with the strategy through development of their local board plans and work programmes.

71.     Staff will continue working with local boards on improvements to advice, recognising that different local boards and / or clusters of local boards may require different and bespoke advice, and that the organisation is pivoting to support this.
