Local board feedback on Auckland Council’s submission on Local Government (Auckland Council) (Transport Governance) Amendment Bill

Resolution number MR/2025/141

MOVED by Chairperson M Winiata, seconded by Member H Andrew:

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) tuku / provide the following feedback on the Local Government (Auckland Council) (Transport Governance) Amendment Bill to inform the council’s draft submission:

Allocated powers to local boards (Schedule 4):

i) support the allocation of powers, functions, and responsibilities in relation to local roads and collector roads to local boards

ii) request advice and consideration on the extent to which the powers set out in Schedule 4 can be delegated, noting that almost all Road Controlling Authority (RCA) powers are currently exercised by Auckland Transport staff under delegation, and further request consideration of the distinction between governance and operational functions

iii) note that there could be an inherent tension where lower priorities in the Government Policy Statement for Land Transport (GPS) may be higher priority to local boards and their communities. This includes community safety, safe speeds, infrastructure for active modes and place-making. The limited budget allocated in the GPS for these activity classes may constrain local boards in delivering outcomes for their community

iv) note that there needs to be transparent decision-making that will ensure public accountability and understanding

v) note there will need to be opportunities for public consultation and therefore local boards need to be provided with sufficient time to enable meaningful consultation with their community

Transport bylaws:

vi) support measures where new bylaws are developed in agreement between the Governing Body and local boards

vii) note that the proposed framework where both the Governing Body and local boards must agree to a bylaw could create additional time and process on the bylaw development process

viii) note that there needs to be a balance between allowing for local nuance and determination and regional consistency

Reformed transport CCO

ix) support the reformed Transport CCO to provide public transport services in Auckland

x) request clarity on the roles and responsibilities between Auckland Council as the road controlling authority, and the Transport CCO. For example, clarification is needed on who is ultimately responsible for public transport services and their associated infrastructure to effectively deliver the services, such as bus shelters and bus lanes

xi) request local board views are obtained and considered by the reformed Transport CCO in relation to providing public transport services in the local board area for example on new routes or services

xii) do not support any moves that could enable or lead to the future privatisation of Auckland’s public transport

Auckland Regional Transport Committee (ARTC)

xiii) support the establishment Auckland Regional Transport Committee and its purpose to develop and maintain a long-term strategic direction for land transport in Auckland that is shared by Auckland Council and the Government

xiv) support the ministerial involvement in the 30-year transport plan as long as there is clear accountability to and communication with local boards

xv) request that local board views are obtained and considered to inform key decisions particularly in relation to the development of the Regional Land Transport Plan and draft 30-year transport plan

xvi) request that the 30-year transport plan is developed alongside Central Government plans and strategies to ensure there is alignment between transport and other infrastructure such as housing and water

xvii) note that there needs to be a level of congruency with local plans, for example the local boards’ Emergency Response and Readiness Plans

xviii) request clarity on how funding allocations and decisions will be made across the GPS, 30-year transport plan and the RLTP

Transition period

xix) support the 6 month transition period between March and September 2026

xx) request that transitional arrangements be guided by the following principles:

A) maintain all existing levels of service

B) deliver on contractual arrangements

C) ensure delivery of existing work programmes

D) provide continuity of service

E) ensure that there is not a reduction in customer satisfaction levels

F) staff are supported during the transition period.

xxi) request a review after 12 months to ensure that there were no key elements missed or overlooked during the transition, given the short timeframe

xxii) express concern about the feasibility of requiring Auckland Council to review all Auckland Transport bylaws policies and plans to give effect to the new division of responsibilities between the Governing Body and local boards before the end of the transitional period, noting:

A) these all require an element of local board engagement and feedback

B) newly elected local board members will still be onboarding understanding their roles

C) this work is to take place during a period where local boards are legislatively also required to develop a new local board plan and local board agreement

Auckland Roading Classification Framework

xxiii) support Auckland Council developing, approving, and maintaining the Auckland Roading Classification Framework

xxiv) note that the Auckland Roading Classification Framework must be approved by both the Governing Body and the Minister of Transport and request that local board views are sought and considered prior to the framework being approved to ensure consistency in advice and implementation

xxv) request that unformed legal roads (paper roads) form part of the Auckland Roading Classification Framework.

Feedback on related matters

xxvi) request a review by the independent Remuneration Authority to assess whether new determinations are needed and reflect the additional responsibilities being given to local board members

xxvii)request the provision of appropriate training, support and quality advice to enable local boards to effectively exercise additional functions and responsibilities and that this support include (but not limited to):

A) appropriate subject matter expertise and quality advice to make effective decisions

B) the continuation of staff support to ensure quality governance and working relationships between local boards and the Transport CCO

C) information on transport assets in the local board area, including their condition

D) appropriate budget allocation to enable decision making

xxviii) request consideration of a baseline level of service for transport be developed and agreed between the Governing Body and local boards in order to provide regional consistency and coordination in service delivery but allow local boards to increase or decrease based on the needs of their community

xxix) request that guidelines be created which support local board collaboration, especially when transport outcomes extend beyond one local board area as it is important that a network approach is retained.

b) delegate to the chair the ability to make minor amendments to the board’s feedback if required.
