Horopaki

Context

Regional context

7. Kāinga Ora is redeveloping existing urban areas (known as ‘brownfield’ regeneration) through Large-Scale Projects (LSPs) in the Auckland Council priority growth areas of Mt Roskill, Tāmaki and Māngere – see Attachment 1.

8. Kāinga Ora is working with Auckland Council Group, including AT, to co-ordinate the infrastructure improvements needed to support the future LSP growth, specifically 10-year progammes of works.

9. AT’s Brownfield PBC, approved by the AT and NZTA Boards in 2022, recommended the transport projects needed to support long-term LSP growth.

10. Since the PBC was developed in 2022, Kāinga Ora has progressed work in some LSPs, while work in other LSPs has been slower than expected due to reduced central government funding.

11. An LSP is divided into several ‘Neighbourhoods’ and Kāinga Ora work is currently focused on specific Neighbourhoods within three priority LSPs.

12. An update (‘Addendum’) to the 2022 PBC is recommending a revised 10-year transport programme for approval by the AT and NZTA Boards, with prioritisation based on

a) Latest Kāinga Ora LSP priorities and housing delivery time-frames.

b) Alignment with Government Policy Statement (GPS) 2024 transport priorities.

c) Works co-ordination and achieving delivery efficiencies where possible.

13. The recommended joint LSP 10-year transport programme includes:

a) ‘Precinct’ projects, which are strategic network improvements proposed to be delivered by AT – estimated to cost $200 million (P50, escalated).

b) ’Neighbourhood’ projects, which are local network improvements proposed to be delivered by Kāinga Ora – estimated to cost $240 million (P50, escalated).

14. AT and NZTA Board approval of the joint programme will enable AT to request central government co-funding for the precinct projects, using the budget allocated in the Regional Land Transport Plan 2024-34 and Auckland Council Long Term Plan 2024-34.

Puketāpapa

15. The Puketāpapa Local Board Area has one LSP, Mt Roskill. It includes two current priority Neighourhoods: Waikōwhai and Wesley West – see Attachment 1.

16. The recommended joint LSP 10-year transport programme for Mt Roskill is shown in Attachment 2 and includes 14 precinct projects and two neighbourhood projects.

17. The projects are from Kāinga Ora transport assessments that identify the upgrades needed to address the impacts of LSP development on the adjacent transport networks, and wider network improvements to support the future LSP growth.

18. AT and Kāinga Ora plan to progress investigation of the following precinct projects between 2025-27:

a) Richardson Road intersection upgrades.

b) Stoddard Road intersection and mid-block improvements.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu

Analysis and advice

19. AT plans to request central government co-funding to progress the precinct projects recommended as early priorities by the PBC Addendum, and asks for Puketāpapa Local Board’s support.

20. The PBC Addendum partners (AT, Council and NZTA) worked together on prioritisation to develop the Mt Roskill LSP 10-year programme, which is presented in Attachment 2 with the reasons for projects to be included, their expected benefits and timing.

21. The recommended transport programme seeks to address the future impacts of LSP growth on the transport network and to achieve the following outcomes:

a) Maintain or improve journey travel times.

b) Improve public transport accessibility and reliability.

c) Improve safety outcomes.

d) Limit community disruption and achieve value for money through works coordination.

e) Improve local transport access from residential areas to the strategic transport network and to local facilities.

f) Provide asset resilience and adaptation to climate change.

22. The recommended joint 10-year LSP programme supports the local board’s plan by:

a) Supporting a safe and accessible transport system.

b) Providing for all modes of transport.

c) Supporting climate change resilience.

23. Other projects identified in the Brownfield PBC to support Mt Roskill LSP growth were considered for inclusion in the 10-year programme but were not recommended as they do not support growth in the Waikōwhai and Wesley West LSP Neighbourhoods.

24. Kāinga Ora community engagement on the Waikōwhai and Wesley West LSP development has not specifically sought feedback on transport upgrades, and as such there is limited information on whether the public support the proposed projects. AT and Kāinga Ora will seek community views as projects move to investigation.

Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi

Climate impact statement

25. Individual projects will consider carbon emissions, asset resilience, and adaptation in optioneering and design phases. The programme will be monitored against these outcomes.

26. Measures to align with Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan, AT’s Climate Change Technical Policy and AT Sustainability Strategy will be developed and will be included at the optioneering and design stages of each individual project.

Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera

Council group impacts and views

27. AT and Kāinga Ora engaged extensively with Auckland Council while developing the 10-year transport programme. The programme aligns with the Auckland Council Development Contribution policy for brownfield growth projects in Mt Roskill, Tāmaki and Māngere.

28. Councillors support the LSP programme through the Long Term Plan.

Local impacts and local board views

29. The project team presented to the local board on the recommended joint LSP 10-year joint programme for Mt Roskill at a workshop on 13^th February 2025 and received a range of feedback, which the project team responded to via a memo to the Local Board dated 7^th March 2025. Key feedback and project team responses are as follows.

Local Board feedback	Project team response
Narrow roads make it difficult to accommodate all modes	To be considered as projects move to investigation (subject to AT Transport Design Manual guidelines and the resource consent planning process).
Consider including Denbigh Road/ Dominion Road Extension intersection in the 10-year programme	AT is investigating improvements to this intersection as part of the Road Safety programme and will engage with the Local Board shortly on this project.
Consider expanding the scope of the Richardson Road intersection projects to include the length of Richardson Road	Any upgrades along Richardson Road would be co-ordinated with redevelopment of the Kāinga Ora sites along the corridor and frontage works. At present, there is uncertainty around the timing of these last stages of the Waikōwhai Neighbourhood development. Future prioritisation will re-consider these upgrades for inclusion in the 10-year programme against latest Kāinga Ora development plans.
Request the Kāinga Ora transport assessments	Provided as attachments to the local board memo, dated 7^th March 2025.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori

Māori impact statement

30. AT and Auckland Council are committed to meeting their responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its broader legal obligations in being more responsible or effective to Māori.

31. Auckland Transport’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.

32. The project is working in partnership with Mana Whenua to engage on the recommended joint 10 year programme, draft joint outcomes for the programme and measures, and will continue to engage Mana Whenua on options and design as individual projects progress to investigation.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea

Financial implications

Risks and mitigations

Key programme risks

Mitigation

Community disruption from ongoing works supporting growth in LSPs

Continuing thorough coordination of projects with all asset owners.

Individual projects to look at programming opportunities to ‘dig once’.

Funding to deliver Precinct projects is subject to central government co-funding requests

Updating the LSP Programme to align with the latest Government Policy Statement on transport.

Manage community expectations around delivery.

Ngā koringa ā-muri

Next steps

36. AT will seek AT and NZTA Board approval of the PBC Addendum and recommended LSP joint 10-year transport programme to support central government co-funding requests to progress individual projects.

Climate impact statement

20. Receiving performance monitoring reports will not result in any identifiable changes to greenhouse gas emissions.

21. Work programmes were approved in June 2024 and delivery is already underway. Should significant changes to any projects be required, climate impacts will be assessed as part of the relevant reporting requirements.

22. The local board is currently investing in a number of sustainability projects which aim to build awareness around carbon emissions, and changing behaviour at a local level. These include:

· Climate Action Activator Puketāpapa: After-school sessions at Roskill Youth Zone, run with Global Hope Missions, gave 16 rangatahi their first e-bike experience along local cycleways. The activator joined Puketāpapa Welcome Day, sharing seedlings and collecting feedback on climate action, with a focus on transport and food security. A Pride Ride marked Pride Month, and waste-wise engagement continues at Wesley Market. Six events this quarter reached 119 people, with eight borrowing e-bikes.

Financial implications

27. This report is provided to enable the Puketāpapa Local Board to monitor the organisation’s progress and performance in delivering the 2024/2025 work programme. There are no financial implications associated with this report.

Financial Performance

28. Operating expenditure of $7.6 million is $561,00 below budget.

· Asset Based Services operating expenditure (ABS Opex) is $461,000 below budget. Pak Homestead and Wesley Community Centre were below budget for the quarter.

· Locally Driven Initiatives operating expenditure (LDI Opex) is $244,000 under budget. Mainly due to delayed delivery for Arts grants, Strategic Relationships, Events team and Sport and Recreation facility team.

29. Operating revenue of $525,000 is $100,000 above budget. This increase in revenue is mainly driven by higher fees and charges for venue hire due to higher demand.

30. Capital expenditure of $2.5 million is above budget by $559,000. The capital programme is ahead of schedule at this stage and mainly refers to the physical works for new footpath at Manukau Domain and physical works for renewal of tracks at the Waikōwhai Park along with various other local renewals programmes.

31. The financial report for the nine months ended 31 March 2025 for the Puketāpapa Local Board area is in Appendix B.

Risks and mitigations

32. While the risk of non-delivery of the entire work programme is rare, the likelihood for risk relating to individual activities does vary. Capital projects for instance, rare susceptible to more risk as on-time and on-budget delivery is dependent on weather conditions, approvals (e.g. building consents) and is susceptible to market conditions.

33. The approved Customer and Community Services capex work programme include projects identified as part of the Risk Adjusted Programme (RAP). These are projects that the Community Facilities delivery team will progress, if possible, in advance of the programmed delivery year. This flexibility in delivery timing will help to achieve 100 per cent financial delivery for the financial year if projects intended for delivery in the current financial year are delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.
