Manurewa Local Board views on the draft Contributions Policy 2025

 

Resolution number MR/2025/48

MOVED by Chairperson M Winiata, seconded by Deputy Chairperson G Murphy:  

That the Manurewa Local Board:

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

i)               tuhi ā-taipitopito / note concern that developers are not town planners, nor do they take a strategic area-wide or region-wide approach, which could limit the structed approach to transport and infrastructure development for the Auckland region

ii)         tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that council needs to assess its position on what it should be delivering. There no longer seems to be “paper plans” for future development with this being driven by developers, not a future view of council

iii)        tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that in Attachment B sand carpet installation and training lights are listed as assets for which development contributions will be used for other local board areas, however as the Manurewa Sport and Active Recreation Facilities Plan 2022 identifies Manurewa having a lack of sand-based fields and lighting, request that advice is provided to the local board on how developer contributions can be used for these assets in Manurewa

iv)        tuhi ā-taipitopito / note the following feedback points received on the draft Contributions Policy 2025 in Attachment F:

a.       while there was some support for planning 30 years ahead, those submitters considered that only ten years of planning investment should be included in development contributions (DC) with a three yearly update

b.      unlike the projects in the 10 years of the Long-term Plan 2024-2034, they haven’t been subject to public consultation, feasibility studies, technical assessments, or in-depth planning

c.       some of the 30-year investment will support growth over the period to 2080. Concern was also expressed that some of the investment was required to address historical under investment

d.      the exact nature and location of the necessary infrastructure required over such a long-time frame and its cost is very uncertain. This is evidenced in the changes required for Drury investments identified within 18 months of adoption

e.       forecasting future costs is very difficult. The base cost estimate of some projects appears to be significantly higher than market rates, resulting in a markedly high starting position even before contingency and escalation is accounted for. The costs of land acquisition are unrealistically high. Costs are then inflated over time resulting in projects increasing in cost in many cases for one, two, or three times their cost in today’s dollars

f.        the scale of stormwater investment required was challenged given the potential for developers to undertake on site works reducing the need for council investment and consequent DC that would otherwise make development infeasible

g.      projects included in the DC policy that overlap with Kainga Ora’s planned investments should be removed

v)         tono / request further information from staff on:

a.     how house pricing will be impacted by these changes

b.    whether the land that is acquired for growth is for development on behalf of developers or for transport routes

c.     who takes the lead on the provision for reserves and greenspace. Manurewa is not seeing any consistency with developers being required to offer space for parks, as where this has been skipped, it is pointed to the walkable catchment of existing parks, however it seems no provision is set aside for these in developer contributions as per schedule 8.

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

 

Resolution number MR/2025/49

MOVED by Chairperson M Winiata, seconded by Member A Lesa:  

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)         tuku / provide the following feedback on the Land Transport Management (Time of Use Charging) Amendment Bill.

i)           reiterate the board’s previous feedback in October 2024 (MR/2024/160):

a.    the rollout of this scheme should start in the central areas of Auckland where public transport is more readily available, and then slowly roll out to other areas in conjunction with increased public transport options, to enable a smoother transition

b.   tuhi ā-taipitopito / note there is a concern about the affordability and the financial impacts on residents, given high levels of deprivation and that many residents travel outside the area for work and university

c.    tuhi ā-taipitopito / note there needs to be a clear plan in place to ensure that traffic is not diverted off state highways, impacting residential roads, in particular around schools, which could impact on traffic flow and community safety

d.   tono / request assurance is provided to public transport users that the reliability and efficiency of public transport services will be maintained and there is increased frequency and expanded services to ensure there are greater public transport options

e.    tuhi ā-taipitopito / note there will be a need to ensure public transport services can handle the increased demand. This will require looking at what the introduction of the charge means for the number of users of public transport

f.     tono / request that there is only one charge per trip as creating multiple charges based on zones would be overcomplicating this process

g.   tautoko / support the revenue from the charge to be reinvested into public transport

h.   tono / request mandatory consultation with local boards throughout the ongoing development and implementation of this policy, given that local context will be vital to ensuring the roll out of this proposal is as successful and undisruptive as possible, if implemented.

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

 

Resolution number MR/2025/50

MOVED by Chairperson M Winiata, seconded by Deputy Chairperson G Murphy:  

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a)      whakarato / provide the following feedback on the allocation of decision-making responsibilities for council-controlled organisation activities coming in house:

i)          tuhi ā-taipitopito / note section 17 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009, and the principle of subsidiarity, that state 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

ii)      tono / request an increase in staff resourcing, in particular, local board facing staff, to provide quality, strategic advice to empower local boards and their role

ii)     tautoko  support reinstating local economic development plans, projects and initiatives within parameters set by regional strategies, policies and plans, under local board decision-making

b)      tuhi ā-taipitopito / 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)      tuhi ā-taipitopito / 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)
