Page 15
Item 14

Item 14
Howick Local Board

20 April 2015
c)
Requests Auckland Transport consults further through the Half Moon Bay
Residents &Ratepayers Association to residents who may not have been consulted
regarding the intersection of Prince Regent Drive/Sunderlands and Pigeon
Mountain Roads.
8.
Resolution HW/2015/25 b) is noted and will be discussed with the Howick Local Board in
coming months when detailed designs and estimates for the project are available.
9.
In relation to resolution HW/2015/25 c), Auckland Transport does not propose to consult
further on the safety improvements scheme at the intersection of Pigeon Mountain Road,
Prince Regent Drive and Sunderlands Road as the appropriate process has been followed
and concluded (including consultation with those considered to be immediately impacted by
the proposal).
10.
However, Auckland Transport notes that the Half Moon Bay Residents and Ratepayers
Association recently provided a submission on behalf of its members addressing both the
Howick Local Boards Transport Capital Fund proposal for metering signals on Pigeon
Mountain Road and Auckland Transports upcoming safety improvements at the intersection,
and none of the Associations feedback regarding the proposed intersection improvements is
such that Auckland Transport considers it necessary to amend or halt the project.
A3. New Half Moon Bay ferry facility update

11. Work on the project is progressing to schedule. The Stage 1 pontoon and gangway tender
has been released to market and the tender evaluation and award process is planned for
completion early April.
12.
The Stage 1 pontoon and gangway fabrication works is programmed to be completed by

July.
13.
The Stage 2 design process for the fixed walkway and associated landside works is
underway with the architects planning to present a draft design for review by Auckland
Transport at the end of April.
14.
An environmental consultancy has been engaged to provide marine and environmental

support along with the required technical input to produce a consenting package ready for
review by Auckland Transport and submission to Auckland Council in May.
15.
On-going engagement with Mana Whenua has confirmed their on-going interest in the
project and their desire to be consulted on matters of cultural significance.
16.
The communications and engagement plan is being finalised and Auckland Transports
intention is to continue the established engagement process and to present the proposal
plans to an open forum similar to that convened during the development of the Half Moon
Bay ferry terminal redevelopment concept plan.
17.
Auckland Transport has engaged a traffic engineering company to provide design support
for the land-side development works to facilitate the bus connection and turnaround area.
18.
Auckland Transports Project Director for Rail/Ferry Improvements is firming up the project
budget required in order to provide visibility to the Howick Local Board on how much of its
up to $2.5m allocation of funds from the Transport Capital Fund will be required for the
project.
19.
Auckland Transport considers that this project offers greatly improved facilities for ferry
passengers alongside an exciting opportunity to ensure the unique and varied history of Half
Moon Bay is seen and celebrated in the best way possible.
Page 16
A4. Auckland Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI)

20. Public information days and neighbourhood meetings were held in March with some 700
people attending and providing feedback on plans and proposals for the Panmure to
Pakuranga section of the wider AMETI project.
21.
The Panmure to Pakuranga projects include:

Replacing Panmure roundabout with a signalised intersection including more direct
pedestrian crossings
A dedicated Panmure to Pakuranga busway separated from general traffic
Cycle and foot paths from Panmure to Pakuranga
A second Panmure Bridge for the busway and a shared cycle/foot path.
22.
The AMETI team is currently reviewing and considering feedback received from the latest
consultation round and is working towards finalising technical and specialists reports for the
Notice of Requirement (NoR). The team is also formulating responses to people who
provided feedback.
23.
Work on the NoR and consents for the Panmure to Pakuranga section is on track to be
lodged with Auckland Council at the end of April.
A5. Redoubt Road-Mill Road Corridor project update

24. Auckland Transport identified its preferred route for the northern section of the Redoubt
Road-Mill Road corridor upgrade and applied to Auckland Council in November 2014 to
designate land (Notices of Requirement) for the project.
25.
The key reasons for the project are to provide for significant housing growth in the area and
to improve the corridors poor safety record. Safeguarding this route will provide certainty to
both existing and future property owners on what land is required for the upgrade. New
housing areas can then be built knowing where the transport infrastructure to support it will
be.
26.
Auckland Council has advised it will publicly notify the Notice of Requirement in mid-April.
Legislation requires at least 20 working days for submissions. A public hearing will
subsequently be held by independent commissioners to test Auckland Transports proposal.
27.
Auckland Transport is organising two public information days on 17 April (11am to 2pm) and
18 April (10am to 1pm) at Westfield Manukau, so interested people can find out more to
assist with their submissions.
28.
Any member of the public can make submissions on the proposal. Auckland Transport
encourages people to make submissions if they have any concerns about the project or the
assessments carried out.
29.
Auckland Transport has already contacted affected property owners directly about the
project to discuss their land owner rights and the planning process, and has met with the
majority of them.
A6. Consultation documents on proposed improvements

30. Consultation documents for the following proposals have been provided to the Howick Local
Board for its feedback. As the Boards transport portfolio holders are delegated to provide
feedback on the Boards behalf, the material below is included for general information
purposes only.
31.
Proposed safety improvements, Topland Drive and Stancombe Road intersection,

Flatbush visibility for vehicles exiting Topland Drive and for pedestrians crossing
Stancombe Road at that location is restricted by parked vehicles being too close to the
intersection. Auckland Transport is proposing safety improvements at the intersection
including relocating the existing northern bus stop 35m eastwards, installing side islands at
the existing pedestrian refuge crossings on both sides of the road, installing 33m of No
Parking At All Times (NSAAT) parking restrictions and removing/trimming vegetation on the
raised traffic island. The proposal is shown on the plan at Attachment A.

Howick Local Board

20 April 2015
Electronic 40km/h School Speed Zone (SSZ) for Botany Downs Secondary College,
Kilkenny Drive, Botany Auckland Transport is planning to implement an SSZ for this
school, consisting of a 40km/h speed limit during peak school traffic hours, on Kilkenny
Drive. This will be achieved by installing electronic 40km/h speed limit signs with alternating
flashing beacons on the road approaching the zone. Additionally, static 40km/h speed limit
signs displaying operating times will be installed on side roads approaching each zone. The
electronic signs operate at the beginning and end of each school day, and require motorists
to reduce their speed to below 40km/h during these times. The speed limit reverts to 50
km/h when these signs are not in operation. The proposal is shown on the plan at
Attachment B.
33.
Electronic School Zone for Our Lady Star of the Sea School, Orangewood Drive,
Northpark Auckland Transport proposes to install electronic School Zone signs in the
vicinity of this school. These electronic signs which are equipped with alternating flashing
beacons will be installed on the road approaching the school and will operate at the
beginning and end of each school day to increase driver awareness of the school, as well as
reinforce driver expectation of the presence of children. Auckland Transport undertook an
assessment, using criteria set down by the NZTA, to determine the appropriate electronic
signage for this location, which is expected to be installed by July 2015. The proposal is
shown on the plan at Attachment C.
34.
Conversion of Passing Lane to Slow Vehicle Bay, Whitford Road, Mangemangeroa

Gorge Auckland Transport is committed to improving road safety and reducing the number
of people killed or injured on the road network, with a focus on high risk corridors. A safety
issue has been identified at the passing lane in Mangemangeroa Gorge on Whitford Road.
Whitford Road has had 81 reported crashes in the past 5 years including one fatality and 25
injury crashes, with six crashes on the westbound passing lane in the Gorge. The horizontal
curves throughout the passing lane are unsuitable for higher speeds, making it difficult for
vehicles to overtake while safely negotiating the bends. Auckland Transport is therefore
proposing to convert the westbound passing lane to a slow vehicle bay, which will result in
only slow moving vehicles (mainly trucks) using the left lane and remove the incidence of
unsafe speeds in the right lane. The proposal is shown on the plan at Attachment D. Given
the relatively short distance to the urban area, overtaking vehicles other than slow moving
trucks is not considered necessary. The eastbound passing lane on Whitford Road was
previously converted to a slow vehicle bay and the incidence of crashes reduced as a result.
35.
Electronic School Zone for Ormiston Primary School, Helianthus Avenue, Ormiston
Auckland Transport proposes to install electronic School Zone signs in the vicinity of this
school. These electronic signs which are equipped with alternating flashing beacons will be
installed on the road approaching the school and will operate at the beginning and end of
each school day to increase driver awareness of the school, as well as reinforce driver
expectation of the presence of children. Auckland Transport undertook an assessment,
using criteria set down by the NZTA, to determine the appropriate electronic signage for this
location, which is expected to be installed by July 2015. The proposal is shown on the plan
at Attachment E.
Item 14
32.
General Information Items

B1. Submissions on Long Term Plan (LTP)
36. Auckland Councils LTP 10-year budget consultation received 27,353 written submissions,
with the majority of Aucklanders opting to support the advanced transport network.
37.
Aucklanders provided feedback on a number of issues, including what needs to be done to

fix the regions transport problems.
38.
Figures show that 50% opted for the advanced transport network and 29% supported the
basic transport plan. On the question of funding the transport options, 34% supported
motorway tolls, while 27% favoured a fuel tax and rates rises.
Page 18
B2. Review of Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP)

39. Auckland Transport has commenced a process to update the Auckland RPTP.
40.
The timetable for the variation involves the preparation of a draft proposal by late April,
followed by a public consultation phase during May 2015. Hearings would be planned for
late May/early June.
41.
The variation will cover the following issues:

The proposed introduction of a new zone-based integrated fares system
Proposals for a new light rail transit network on some major arterial routes on the
central Auckland isthmus
Service and infrastructure changes arising from the Ferry Development Plan
Revised service descriptions on the new bus network.
B3. Harbourmaster moves to Auckland Transport

42. The Harbourmaster and Harbourmaster team will transfer from Auckland Councils Civil
Defence and Emergency Management Division to Auckland Transport on 27 April 2015.
43.
The move will allow the Harbourmaster team to work more closely alongside Auckland
Transport Operations Centres (ATOC). This will ensure a more integrated approach across
all transport coming into Auckland, as well as better access to transport support functions.

C1. Independent company to survey Aucklanders on transport
49. A month-long quantitative survey, asking 4,200 Aucklanders for their views on fixing and
funding transport, is being undertaken as part of Auckland Councils 10-year budget
consultation.
50.
The survey results will be considered, along with feedback collected on Councils 10-year
budget, by elected members before they make decisions on what goes into the final budget
in June. The survey results will be made public by May.
C2. Auckland rail patronage hits 13 million

51. On Monday 2 March the annual total for passenger trips passed 13 million for the first time,
an annual growth of 19% to the end of February. Aucklands trains are now carrying 10,000
more customers on a normal weekday than at this time last year.
52.
Significant growth has been recorded on both the Onehunga and Eastern Lines, which now
run only electric trains. Stations which have had major investment are also recording big
patronage growth, including passenger numbers having doubled at Panmure in the past
year.
53.
The stand-out performer is Manukau Station where numbers are up 176% for the year. That
increase ties in with the completion of the MIT campus and an increase in the number of
services before Christmas.
54.
Rail patronage on weekends has also increased significantly, which can be attributed to
increased rail services and fewer weekend rail network closures.
C3. Car share scheme

55. Auckland Transport is looking for a car share operator to launch a large scale scheme in
Auckland, based on Plug-in Electric Vehicles.
56.
Auckland Transport has released a Request for Proposal (RFP) from car share operators to
create a scheme here. It would initially have 250 300 vehicles which Auckland Transport
will match with a similar number of car parks dedicated to care share vehicles. Its expected
that, in time, the fleet would increase to at least 500 cars.
57.
A new large-scale scheme in Auckland would be a private venture with all significant costs
borne by the operator, not by Auckland ratepayers. Auckland Transports main contribution
would be to designate dedicated car parks around the city.
58.
Car share schemes are based on members who pay a membership fee which entitles them
to use a scheme-owned car on demand, for which they pay a per-trip charge based upon the
time used.
59.
There are already about five million people world-wide who are members of a car share
scheme and the numbers of both users and cities with a scheme are growing rapidly,
changing transportation habits in the process.
60.
Auckland already has a commercial car-share operator, called City Hop. There is also a
community-based scheme, called NZ Car Sharing, on Waiheke Island. Auckland Transport
has worked with both, which are relatively small-scale operators, for a number of years and
will continue to do so.
C4. 2015 Public Transport Fare Review

61. The focus of this years public transport fare review, announced by Auckland Transport on
16 March, is to better align short and long distance fares in preparation for a change to a
simpler zone based system (integrated fares) next year.
Page 20
62.
Improving the fare structure with integrated fares will allow the introduction of the New
Network which will see more frequent services on key routes at a minimum average of every
15 minutes, 7am to 7pm, seven days a week.
63.
Integrated fares, the introduction of the AT HOP card, electric trains, the first step towards
the construction of the City Rail Link and an investigation of the benefits of light rail are all
initiatives designed to give Aucklanders choices.
64.
The changes to public transport fares through the 2015 review include:
Small increases of 5-10 cents for stage one and two trips for those using the AT HOP
card
No increases on longer AT HOP trips on buses and trains, other than for stage five
journeys which receive a tertiary concession
Stage six and seven child fares using AT HOP reduce
Some cash fares will increase by 50 cents to further encourage passengers to switch to
using AT HOP to receive fare discounts
Tertiary and child concession fares will now be available on the InnerLink bus service
There will also be some changes to pricing for the CityLink bus service now that an
earlier subsidy has ended.
65.
On average, fares contribute 47% to the total cost of providing public transport services
the remainder is provided through government (NZTA) contributions and rates subsidies.
66. For more: https://at.govt.nz/farechange

C5. Dedicated motorcycle parking
67. Auckland Transport is gearing up for the increasing number of people using two wheels to
get to their destination by adding free, dedicated, motorcycle and scooter parking areas to its
CBD parking buildings, in addition to existing bicycle parking areas. There is also a
dedicated entry lane for motorbikes at the Downtown car park to complement the 112
dedicated spaces installed.
68.
The Civic car park has also been fitted out with more motorcycle and scooter parking and
Victoria Street carpark will be developed in the near future.
C6. City Rail Link (CRL) Design Showcase

69. A design showcase for the CRLs three new stations and their adjacent public spaces will
give Aucklanders a peek into the future. The showcase is being held in an Auckland
Transport Bus by the No.1 Caf in QE11 Square, from 10am to 4pm daily between Saturday
11 and Wednesday 15 April.
70.
Each station, new ones at Aotea and Karangahape and a redeveloped Mt Eden, has been
designed in partnership with Mana whenua, who shared their considerable knowledge of the
local areas to provide a unique look and feel.
71.
Visitors to the design showcase in mid-April will also find out how the first stage of
construction will roll out later this year.
72.

C7. City Rail Link (CRL) contract award

73. The CRL took another significant step forward with the announcement on 7 April of the
appointment of two construction consortia to commence the first phase of the CRL
construction in the Downtown area.

74.
There was wide interest from the New Zealand construction industry and Auckland
Transport has appointed two Joint Venture contractors for the work; Downer NZ and
Soletanche Bachy JV and Connectus (McConnell Dowell and Hawkins JV) for the first phase
of design at a cost of about $3 million. The next phase will provide for a negotiated contract
to construct the CRL.
75.
The Downer lead joint venture has been chosen to progress the CRL work through and
under Britomart Station and Queen Street to the Downtown Shopping Centre site with
construction likely to start in early 2016.
76.
The contract includes establishing temporary accommodation for Britomart Stations

ticketing and customer service operations, underpinning the historic former Chief Post Office
building, to allow the construction of the rail tunnels beneath and reinstating Britomart
Station and upgrading urban space and surrounding roads.
77.
The Connectus Consortium will construct the cut and cover tunnels under and along Albert
Street from Customs Street to Wyndham Street. The work is likely to start in October with
the relocation of a major stormwater line in Albert Street between Swanson and Wellesley
Streets.
78.
Once completed, CRL will turn a one way cul-de-sac rail system at Britomart into a two way
through system that will be able to carry 30,000 people an hour, providing an efficient and
reliable transport choice for Aucklanders.

File No.: CP2015/05288
Purpose
1.
To seek the Local Boards views on the declaration of park land for road purposes under
S114 of the Public Works Act (1981) for the Pakuranga Road section of the AMETI Project,
and appropriate compensation.
Executive Summary
2.
The Auckland-Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI) involves a series of projects for
the eastern suburbs aimed at increasing public transport use, walking and cycling, and
unlocking the economic potential of the area by dealing with traffic congestion on key
transport links.
3.
The Howick side of the Panmure-Pakuranga Bridge project includes the construction of a
bus lane and cycle lane along Pakuranga Road.
4.
This part of the AMETI project affects four parks (Kerswill Reserve, 18R Pakuranga Road
Reserve, Kerswill Corner Reserve and 22R Pakuranga Road) and Auckland Transport (AT)
is seeking to declare areas of these parks as road (totaling 2157m) under Section 114 of the
Public Works Act (1981).
5.
To compensate the loss of this park land, AT is offering Auckland Council a section of land
at 24 Pakuranga Road as a place holder until such time as final areas are determined.
Recommendation/s
a)
Notes the declaration under S114 of the Public Works Act (1981) of the following
sections of park land for roading purposes:
i)
2R Pakuranga Road (248m2) NA99C/463 which describes Section 1 Survey

Office Plan 66069.
ii) 18R Pakuranga Place Reserve (802m2), Lot 8 DP 44164, NA1801/32 - Auckland
Council pursuant to Section 191 Municipal Corporations.
iii) 20R Pakuranga Road (607m2), Lot 1 DP 60871, NA1844/67 Auckland Council
Freehold land.
iv) 22R Pakuranga Road (500m2), Lot 21 DP 44724, NA5C/221 - This freehold title
is currently held as an esplanade reserve.
b)
Supports the following compensation proposal as a minimum for the park land to be
taken for roading purposes noting that final compensation is subject to further
negotiation. The parks portfolio holder be granted delegation for providing Local
Board input to the full and final compensation on the condition that this may vary in
location or area but should be at least of equal or greater value:
i)
c)
24 Pakuranga Road (2345m2), Lot 19 DP 44724, CT-1634/58.
Requests that any and all compensation be redirected back to the Local Board for
investment in open space with the preference, in the first instance, that this be
provided through replacement land area and where this is not possible the provision
of cash compensation.

Item 15
Discussion
6.
AT is progressing the AMETI project along Pakuranga Road to improve public transport. The
project will provide separate cycling and bus lanes from the Panmure-Pakuranga Bridge to
the Pakuranga Town Centre. The improvements will connect to, and continue along Lagoon
Drive, to the Panmure roundabout.
7.
Four parks will be affected by this stage of the AMETI project either in full or in part. They
are as follows:
a. 2R Pakuranga Road or Kerswill Reserve (248m2) NA99C/463 which describes
Section 1 Survey Office Plan 66069 (see Attachment A). AT is seeking to declare the
full reserve for roading purposes. The land currently functions as a road and will be
located under the proposed new Panmure-Pakuranga Bridge. AT proposes to retain
the vehicle access under the existing bridge.
b. 18R Pakuranga Road Reserve (802m2), Lot 8 DP 44164, NA1801/32 - Auckland
Council pursuant to Section 191 Municipal Corporations (see Attachment A). AT is
seeking to declare the full reserve for roading purposes to accommodate the
proposed cycle way.
c. 20R Pakuranga Road or Kerswill Corner Reserve (607m2), Lot 1 DP 60871,
NA1844/67 Auckland Council Freehold land (see Attachment B). AT is seeking to
declare the full site for roading purposes to accommodate the proposed cycle way.
d. 22R Pakuranga Road (500m2), Lot 21 DP 44724, NA5C/221 - This is currently held
as an esplanade reserve (see Attachment B). A partial declaration of land for roading
purposes is required in this easement, again to accommodate the proposed
pedestrian walkway and cycle way.
8.
AT has also identified additional land at Ti Rakau Park and in adjacent areas, which may be
required for road for the AMETI works. The design for this section has not progressed
sufficiently to confirm the area of the park land required. AT intends to confirm these
requirements later in 2015 and will seek to acquire these parks at that time.
9.
To compensate for declaring the park land as road, AT has offered a section of land at 24
Pakuranga Road (see Attachment C) as a place holder. The value of this land offered
exceeds the value of the park land to be acquired across both the Panmure Bridge end of
Pakuranga Road and Ti Rakau Park areas of the project. However, AT acknowledges that
the area of land likely to be finally acquired for these works is substantially more than the
area of land currently offered in compensation. AT is offering 24 Pakuranga Road in
compensation with the expectation that the land will be managed as park. AT would ensure
that any buildings and debris are removed and the site reinstated and grassed. The land
offer is subject to confirmation from the AT Board.
10.
The table below provides a summary of the parks likely to be affected by the AMETI project
and their valuations, and the land offered in compensation.

11.
AT acknowledges that the land offer may not constitute the full and final compensation
option. The final compensation offer will be subject to determination of the total park area
and valuation information.
12.
Should Auckland Council not reach an agreement on suitable land compensation the
compensation may be substituted with payment of the acquired land value.
Consideration
Local Board Views
13.
AT has presented the AMETI park land acquisition requirements at three full board
discussions since mid-2014. AT has worked with the Parks, Sport and Recreation
Department and Board members to:
Identify the park land required for the project works
Discuss issues and options associated with the land required, and
Present the offer of land as compensation for consideration.
14.
The Local Board has expressed a preference for the area of park land taken to be
compensated on a land for land basis where possible. AT has yet to confirm the full
compensation offer and has requested Parks representatives to seek a recommendation
from the Local Board on the interim park acquisition and compensation option.
Maori Impact Statement

15.
AT established a regular (monthly) hui with all iwi affected by the AMETI project at the start
of the project. These regular meetings provide an opportunity to consult with iwi on an ongoing basis. AT has identified nine mana whenua groups with interests in the project area
and engages with these groups regularly and has sought MVAs (Maori Values Assessment)
from each in an effort to better understand the association and issues of each group within
the project area.
16.
This consultation has not specifically addressed the park land declaration and compensation
proposals. Further consultation shall be undertaken as part of the NoR process.
17.
To declare the park land for road, AT is seeking to implement Section 114 of the Public
Works Act (Declaring Land to be Road). This section requires the signatures of
the body who controls or in whom the land is vested (Auckland Council)
AT as the roading authority (AT Board and AC Property Committee), and
the signature of Minister of Conservation (delegated to the council).
18.
In seeking the approval of Council (in whom the land is vested), AT is seeking support for
the acquisition and compensation proposals from the Local Board. Approval will then be
sought from the Parks, Recreation and Sport Committee who have the delegation for the
acquisition and disposal of park land.
Page 41
Item 15
Howick Local Board

20 April 2015
19.
Should the Local Board support the Section 114 (Declare land for Road) and the
compensation option of 24 Pakuranga Road, AT shall undertake public consultation on the
land take in parallel to the consultation required for the NoR process. If the Local Board does
not provide their support, AT shall include the park land required in the NoR process. The
NoR is expected to be lodged in late April 2015.
20.
Finally, it should be noted that should AT declare the park land as road, the land would
remain vested in Auckland Council, but would be managed by AT as road rather than by the
Local Board as park. The land provided by AT in compensation for declaring the park land
as road will be vested as reserve.

New Road Names Approval for the subdivision by Hugh Green Limited
at 40 Hughs Way, Flat Bush
File No.: CP2015/05155
Purpose
1.
The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Howick Local Board for eight (8) new
roads created by way of subdivision at 40 Hugh Ways, Flat Bush. The development is
known as Donegal Glen Stage 7.
Executive Summary
2.
The legacy Manukau City Council had an existing road naming policy which set out the
requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and
criteria are applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming in the Manukau
area, until a policy is developed for the Auckland Council.
3.
Following assessment against the road naming criteria, the road names Casheltown
Way, Barnesmore Road, Ballykerrigan Road, Drumbuoy Drive, Creggan
Crescent, Cloghfin Place, Drumfad Road and Mullafin Road were determined to
meet the road naming policy criteria.
4.
James Brown of Ngai Tai Ki Tamaki has been consulted and provided verbal approval to the
applicant to proceed with the names proposed.
5.
New Zealand Post and Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) have been consulted and
have no issues with the road names proposed.
6.
The names Casheltown Way, Barnesmore Road, Ballykerrigan Road,

Drumbuoy Drive, Creggan Crescent, Cloghfin Place, Drumfad Road and
Mullafin Road proposed by the Applicant, are recommended for approval to the Local
Board.
Recommendation/s
That the Howick Local Board, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the Local Government Act
1974, considers for approval the road names Casheltown Way, Barnesmore Road,
Ballykerrigan Road, Drumbuoy Drive, Creggan Crescent, Cloghfin Place,
Drumfad Road and Mullafin Road, proposed by the Applicant, for the new roads
created by way of subdivision at 40 Hughs Way, Flat Bush, noting that these names meet
the relevant road naming criteria.

10.
These road names were submitted as part of this development reflect on the following:
Greerton Holdings Limited/Hugh Green Limited is wholly owned subsidiaries of Hugh Green
Group. Hugh Green, the director and chairman of Hugh Green Group, originated from
Donegal in northwest Ireland and arrived in Auckland in 1953. The company was involved in
many land developments in the Flat Bush area including the Donegal Glen Stages 1 to 6 at
89 Flat Bush School Road, which was completed in 2014.
The road names proposed were derived from places and towns from County Donegal in
northwest Ireland where Mr. Green originated. This is a common theme adopted by the
Applicant and is consistently used on roads named in their previous land developments
within the Flat Bush area.
Decision Making
11.
The Auckland Council, by way of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (2012 - 2022),
allocated the responsibility for the naming of new roads pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the
Local Government Act 1974, to Local Boards.
Assessment
12.
The Applicants proposed road names have been assessed against the following criteria set
out in the legacy Manukau City Council road naming policy;
Manukau City Council Road Naming Policy Assessment

(a) Not a duplication of names already in current usage in the Auckland region either in
spelling or pronunciation;
(b) Brief, melodious and easily and readily pronounced;
(c) Avoids cartographic problems as the length of the name matches the length of the new
road;
(d) Being associated with the nature of the environment or have historic or local significance
(e) Being a descriptive;
(f) Not of possessive form;
(g) Has appropriate association with other names in the area;
(h) Not in poor taste or likely to cause offence and;
(i) Suffix for road name is suitable for road layout
13.
There is a Ballydonegan Rise within the East Tamaki area that is considered to be similar
to Ballykerrigan Road. However, Land Information New Zealand has noted that the
proposed name, Ballykerrigan is unique and acceptable but have recommended that the
applicant avoid using the road suffix Rise to avoid confusion. All of the proposed road
names are consistent with the legacy road naming policy. Furthermore, the names proposed
as part of this subdivision has appropriate association with other names in the area.
14.
As the preferred road names of the Applicant (Casheltown Way, Barnesmore Road,
Ballykerrigan Road, Drumbuoy Drive, Creggan Crescent, Cloghfin Place, Drumfad
Road and Mullafin Road) meets the criteria of the road naming policy, it is considered
appropriate that these names are recommended for approval to the Local Board.
Consideration
Significance of Decision
15.
The decision sought from the Howick Local Board for this report does not trigger any
significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the community.

Maori impact statement

16.
The decision sought from the Howick Local Board on this report does not adversely affect
Maori communities as the naming of roads is not linked to one of Councils strategic
priorities for Maori.
17.
Despite the above, the Applicant has initiated consultation with the local iwi to provide them
with the opportunity to comment on the proposed road names and offer alternative road
names to be put forward for approval if they wish to do so.
Consultation
18.
The Applicant undertook consultation with Ngai Tai ki Tamaki as mana whenua of the area.
Jame Brown of Ngai Tai ki Tamaki have indicated their support and endorsement for all of
the proposed road names. Mr. James Brown has also noted that he wishes to be consulted
for the naming of the reserves created as part of this residential subdivision. These reserves
will be named at a later stage.
19.
New Zealand Post and Land Information New Zealand have been consulted and indicated
that there are no postal issues with the proposed names Casheltown Way, Barnesmore
Road, Ballykerrigan Road, Drumbuoy Drive, Creggan Crescent, Cloghfin
Place, Drumfad Road and Mullafin Road.
Financial and Resourcing Implications

20.
The cost of processing the approval of the proposed new road names and any installation of
road name signage is recoverable in accordance with Councils Administrative Charges.
Legal and Legislative Implications

21.
The decision sought from the Howick Local Board for this report is not considered to have
any legal or legislative implications.
Implementation
22.

Purpose
1.
The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Howick Local Board, for six new road
names for seven roads created by way of subdivision at 431 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush.
Executive Summary
2.
The legacy Manukau City Council had an existing road naming policy which set out the
requirements and criteria of the Council for proposed road names. These requirements and
criteria are applied in this situation to ensure consistency of road naming in the Manukau
area, until a policy is developed for the Auckland Council.

Site Address:
Councils Reference:
Greenland Investments Ltd.

431 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush
Resource Consent No. 42788 SP 11147 & 45059 SP11477
6.
The legacy Manukau City Council Road Naming Policy allowed that where a new road
needs to be named as a result of a subdivision or development, the subdivider/developer
shall be given the opportunity of suggesting their preferred new road name for Councils
approval.
7.
The residential subdivision will be serviced by new roads that come off Ormiston Road, Flat
Bush. The development will require the creation of seven new roads to be vested in Council.
In this case, road name approval is being sought for the seven new roads within the
subdivision (Roads 1/3, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7).
8.
The Applicant has proposed the following names for consideration for the new roads created
as part of the development at 431 Ormiston Road, Flat Bush.

These road names were submitted as part of this development.

The developer has decided on Maori names that reflect New Zealands history for this
development. The preferred road names: Tinaku Road, Ngaki Street and Tipu Road are
the names of gardening terms within the Maori language. Peihinga Road is the Maori term
for Beijing. Hangahai Road is the Maori term for Shanghai. Valderama Drive is the
extension of the existing Valderama Drive.
Road, Flat Bush

10.
The proposed suffix of Drive for Road 2 is considered appropriate as the new road will
extend the existing Valderama Drive. The proposed suffix of Road and Street for Roads
1/3, 4, 5 & 7, and Street 6 is considered appropriate as these suffixes can generally be
applied to most names as per the Manukau City Council Road Naming Policy.
Decision Making
11.
The Auckland Council, by way of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (2012 - 2022),
allocated the responsibility for the naming of new roads, pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of the
Local Government Act 1974, to Local Boards.
Assessment
12.
The Applicants proposed road names have been assessed against the following criteria set
out in the legacy Manukau City Council road naming policy;
Manukau City Council Road Naming Policy Assessment

(a) Not a duplication of names already in current usage in the Auckland region either in
spelling or pronunciation;
(b) Brief, melodious and easily and readily pronounced;
(c) Avoids cartographic problems as the length of the name matches the length of the new
road;
(d) Being associated with the nature of the environment or have historic or local significance
(e) Being a descriptive;
(f) Not of possessive form;
(g) Has appropriate association with other names in the area;
(h) Not in poor taste or likely to cause offence and;
(i) Suffix for road name is suitable for road layout
13.
All six of the proposed road names are consistent with the legacy road naming policy.
14.
It is considered that the first alternative names for Roads 1/3 (Revolution Road), 4
(Hurihanga Road), 5 (Goldpot Road), 6 (Wheatland Road) & 7 (Cerulean Road) are
appropriate as they comply with all the criteria of the road naming policy.
Consideration
Significance of Decision
15.

significant policy and is not considered to have any immediate impact on the community.
Maori impact statement

16.

with the opportunity to comment on the proposed road names and offer alternative road
names to be put forward for approval if they wish to do so.
Consultation
18.
The Applicant undertook consultation with Ngai Tai Ki Tamaki as mana whenua of the area.
Ngai Tai Ki Tamaki did not oppose the suggestions and did not indicate a preference or
supply suggestions.

facilities making use of the open space between the existing male and female toilet areas as
part of the 2014-15 LTP renewal programme.
3.
Park Advisors review of the current 2014-15 LTP Renewal programme, recommends that
the remaining Local Park Public Convenience renewal funding be provided for a renewal of
the Eastern Beach southern toilet block.
Recommendation/s
That the Howick Local Board approves the proposal to allocate all remaining funding from
Local Parks South 2014-15 LTP Renewal Public Convenience funding for the full renewal

Comments
4.
Howick Local Board has completed minor works at upgrading the facilities at Tiraumea Drive
reserve to make use of the open space between the existing male and female toilet areas as
part of the 2014-15 LTP Capex programme.
5.
Community lease staff is currently creating a lease for Pakuranga Outrigger Canoe Club to
use this space as storage.
6.
The Eastern Beach is the most popular beach within the Howick ward. The Eastern Beach
southern toilet block was built in the mid 1970s. The building has two toilets (one fully
accessible), two sinks and a changing room on the female side and one fully accessible
toilet, a urinal, one sink and changing rooms on the mens side.
7.
Due to the normal high summer usage of this toilet block council has provided an additional
four portaloos, which is not ideal situation for such a high profile beach.
8.
These older styled toilet blocks have low safety levels due to their layout and lack of public
surveillance. Their materials make them more susceptible to vandalism leading to high
operational costs.
9.
Crime prevention Through Environmental Design principles state toilets should ensure good
visibility, with toilet doors opening directly onto public space and planting kept low
10.
The renewal of the Eastern Beach southern toilet block would be completed this financial
year during winter, using the available funding from Local Parks South 2014-15 LTP Capex
Public Convenience renewals. A toilet renewal budget of $250,000 which includes the
demolition of the existing toilet block.

Howick Local Board Community Fees and Charges - July to December

2014
File No.: CP2015/05431
Purpose
1.
To present the usage and revenue data from community facilities within the local board area
for the period 1 July to 31 December 2014 and to highlight any significant impact of the new
fees and charges that were introduced on 1 July 2014.
2.
To recommend community facilities hire fees for the 2015/2016 year.
Executive Summary
3.
On 25 February 2015, members of the Howick Local Board met at a workshop to consider
the impact of the councils Hire Fee Framework For Hire of Auckland Councils
Community Facilities (the framework), which was introduced on 1 July 2014. Please refer to
Attachment A for the fee schedule for 2014/2015.
4.
The framework was developed over a two-year period from 2012-2014 and was based on
good practice principles. New fees and charges, which would help ensure fairness and
transparency for all users, were to be introduced for all council facilities across the region on
1 July 2014. Some hire fees were rising, either because fees for comparable venues of
similar quality, size and condition are being brought closer together, or to address past
inconsistencies in pricing across the region. As a guide, in finalising the first year of fees
under the new framework, a threshold of no more than a twenty percent increase was
applied to limit the impact of such fee rises on the community.
5.
All local boards adopted the framework although six local boards, including Howick, chose to
vary from the recommended fees and charges, acknowledging that existing hirers that were
on special legacy rates and that some hirers would be facing an increase of more than
twenty percent.
6.
The Howick Local Board area has four council-managed community facilities the
Bucklands and Eastern Beaches War Memorial Hall, Fencible Lounge, Nixon Park
Community Hall and Pakuranga Community Hall
7.
After 1 July, the council received enquiries from 43 of the 46 regular hirers across all four
venues. Apart from several of the smaller-sized groups who hired the Nixon Park
Community Hall, many hirers accepted a priority activity discount offered by the Howick
Local Board or a transition arrangement until the end of September 2014. Seven hirers at
Nixon Park Community Hall cancelled their bookings. For the full list of regular hirers, please
refer to Attachment B.
8.
Of the local boards that accepted the recommended the fees and charges, 12 per cent (on
average) of the regular hirers enquired about the new fees and charges structure. Less than
one per cent (on average) of these regular hirers cancelled their bookings. The greater
number of cancellations in the Howick Local Board area when compared with other local
boards has likely been aggravated by the very low legacy fees and charges for venues in the
Howick area.
9.
For a table of fees and charges per venue for the July to December period, please refer to
the summary in Attachment C. Attachment D shows the number of sessions booked by
activity type.
10.
The table below summarises the combined activity of the four facilities in the Howick Local
Board area for the July to December six-month period. Please note that some figures are
reported as percentage points (pp), while others are shown as a percentage (%). Please
refer to the glossary of terms (Attachment E) for more information on percentage points.

Visitors
-6,312 (-14%)
Revenue
-$16,168 (-34%)
11.
Overall, utilisation (booked hours divided by 10 available hours per day) has decreased by
10.5 percentage points. In the same six-month period, visitor numbers decreased from
45,286 to 38,978 (-14 per cent). Revenue decreased by $16,168, which is in line with lower
utilisation.
12.
On 1 July a new process was introduced to book the available spaces in most of the councilmanaged community facilities across the region and to record visitor numbers. This has
resulted in more accurate visiting figures for this reporting period, when compared with 2013.
13.
For the 2014/2015 financial year, revenue from community facilities is expected to decrease
for the Howick Local Board.
Recommendation/s
a)
Agrees to adopt the 2014/2015 community facilities hire fees, uninflated, for the
2015/2016 year, as per Attachment A and will apply to all new hirers using the
facilities.
b)
Approves a transitional arrangement of a 10% increase on their specific 2014/15 fee

for all legacy hirers, as listed in Attachment F.
c)
Requests council staff communicate with the groups in transition to confirm the new
rates and that the 2015/2016 year will be the final year for transitional arrangements.
d)
Requests council staff to provide regular updates on the impact of the hire fees and
the performance of council-managed community facilities as part of the quarterly
reports.
Comments
14.
The councils Hire Fee Framework For Hire of Auckland Councils Community Facilities
(the framework) was developed over a two-year period from 2012-2014 and acknowledged
that access to safe, affordable places for people to pursue their interests provides many
benefits to the wider community The framework included these good practice principles:
public management, lawfulness, accountable, transparent (openness), value for money,
integrity and fairness.
15.
All local boards adopted the framework although six local boards, including Howick, chose to
vary from the recommended fees and charges. (Resolution number HW/2014/36 in April
2014).
16.
When the new framework was implemented, it became clear that across some local boards
there were a large number of exceptions to the published hire rates that had not been
recorded in the past or visible to the organisation. The experience of the local boards that
accepted the recommended fees and charges is averaged as follows:
12 per cent of regular hirers enquired about the new fees and charges.
Those facing significant price increases were allowed transition rates until the end of
September 2014.
Less than one per cent of these regular hirers cancelled their bookings.
Page 68
17.
Members of the Howick Local Board met for a workshop on 25 February 2015 to consider
the impact of the new fees and charges introduced on 1 July 2014. It was the view of some
members that the board continues to provide subsidies to regular hirers on legacy
arrangements and to increase those rates by 10 per cent for the 2015/2016 year. Please
refer to Attachment A for the fee schedule for new hirers in 2014/2015 and Attachment F for
hirers on legacy rates.
18.
Impact of implementing new fees and charges

After 1 July, the council received enquiries from 43 of the 46 regular hirers across all four
venues in the Howick Local Board area. Many accepted a priority discount offered by the
Howick Local Board or a transition arrangement until the end of September 2014. Seven
hirers at Nixon Park Community Hall cancelled their bookings, citing uncertainty around fees
and charges in the future. For the full list of regular hirers, please refer to Attachment B.
19.
The greater number of cancellations in the Howick Local Board area when compared with
other local boards has likely been aggravated by the very low legacy fees and charges for
venues in the Howick area.
20.
Summary of utilisation, visits and revenue by local board area

Please note that some figures in the following graphs are reported as percentage points
(pp), while others are shown as a percentage (%). For a table of fees and charges per venue
for the July to December period, please refer to the summary in Attachment C. Attachment D
shows the number of sessions booked by activity type.

21.
22.
Utilisation decreased in all four of the local boards council-managed facilities in the range of
1 to 23 percentage points. The average was a 10.5 percentage point decrease when
compared with the same six-month period last year.

Howick Local Board visits
24.
Visitors to the Howick council-managed community facilities decreased by 14 per cent

compared with the same period last year, with three of the four facilities reporting decreases.
25.
From 1 July 2014, new processes were introduced to book the available spaces in most of
the council-managed community facilities across the region and also to record visitor
numbers as part of the standard booking process. This has meant that the visiting figures
are more accurate over the six-month period to December 2014, when compared with the
same period in 2013.
Highlights/exceptions
26.
Utilisation and visits at a facility level are shown on the two graphs below.
Page 70
Item 20
Howick Local Board

20 April 2015
27.
Nixon Park Hall: Utilisation and visits is notably down. Of the 19 regular hirers, seven
cancelled their bookings in response to the changes. They were all contacted and advised
that the local board had reverted to the hire rates from 2013/2014. However, some were
hesitant to rebook as they believed that their charges will increase in coming years. The
council staff continue to work with groups affected by the changed fees and charges.
28.
Bucklands and Eastern Beaches War Memorial Hall: 55 per cent increase in visitors.
29.
Regular and casual users: The two charts below show the regular and casual users of the
four local board community facilities. Nixon Park Community hall, which is more popular with
smaller groups, has lost a considerable amount of hirers. There has been little change at the
other facilities.
Page 71
Item 20
Howick Local Board

30.
Revenue
31.
The local board earned less revenue when compared with the same period last year. This is
in line with the lower utility.
32.
Revenue for the Fencible Lounge has nearly halved compared with the same period last
year. Since there has been little change to the overall number of hirers at this venue, the
lower revenue is likely a result of change in customer type to those paying a lower rate or
the hirers booking for a shorter time.
In summary
33.
A new framework for fees and charges was introduced for council facilities across the region
on 1 July 2014. All local boards adopted the framework although six local boards, including
Howick, chose to vary from the recommended fees and charges.
34.
Of the local boards that accepted the recommended the fees and charges, 12 per cent (on
average) of the regular hirers enquired about the new fees and charges structure. Less than
one per cent of these regular hirers (on average) cancelled their bookings.
35.
There were a greater number of cancellations in the Howick Local Board area when
compared with other local boards. This has likely been aggravated by the incredibly low
legacy rates in the Howick and Pakuranga area.
Page 72
36.
The table below summarises the combined activity of all of the Howick Local Board venues
for the July to December six-month period. Overall, utilisation has decreased by 10.5
percentage points. Over the same period, visitor numbers decreased from 45,286 to 38,978
(-14 per cent). Revenue decreased by $16,168, which is in line with lower utilisation
Utilisation
-10.5 (pp)
Visitors
-6,312 (-14%)
Revenue
-$16,168 (-34%)
37.
On 1 July a new process was introduced to book the available spaces in most of the councilmanaged community facilities across the region and to record visitor numbers. This has
resulted in more accurate visiting figures for this reporting period, when compared with 2013.
38.
For the 2014/2015 financial year, revenue from community facilities is expected to decrease
for the Howick Local Board.
Consideration
39.
The impact of the new community facilities fees and charges introduced on 1 July 2014 was
work shopped with members of the Howick Local Board on 25 February 2015. It was the
view of some members that the board continues to provide subsidies to regular hirers on
legacy arrangements and to increase those rates by 10 per cent for the 2015/2016 year.
Please refer to Attachment F.
40.
The recommendations within this report fall within the Howick Local Boards authority
relating to local recreation, sport and community facilities.

41.
The fees and charges framework is not specifically targeted for Maori populations. However,
it aims to be clear and transparent to all users, including Maori.
Implementation
42.
The recommendations in this report do not trigger the Auckland Council Significance Policy.

Approval of a community lease for multiple premises to Auckland

Kindergarten Association
File No.: CP2015/04894
Purpose
1.
This report seeks Albert-Eden, Puketepapa, Waitemata, Maungakiekie-Tamaki, Kaipatiki,

Devonport-Takapuna, Rodney, Mangere-Otahuhu, Howick, Otara-Papatoetoe, HendersonMassey, Waitakere Ranges and Whau Local Boards approval for a community lease for
multiple premises to Auckland Kindergarten Association. A report will go to each Local
Board.
Executive Summary
2.
The Auckland Kindergarten Association (the Association) was incorporated under the
Charitable Trusts Act 1957 on 28 February 1911. The Associations stated objectives are:
providing facilities for and undertaking early childhood education and care
promoting and encouraging early childhood education and care within New Zealand
3.
The Association has 39 community leases with Auckland Council where the Association
owns the building. These individual community leases have varying terms and conditions,
commencement and end dates. A community lease for multiple premises would align the 39
community leases with the same terms and conditions, commencement and end dates. The
benefits to Auckland Council and the Association are:
Consistency of management of the leases with the same terms and conditions
One report per annum on community outcomes
Streamlined management of the next right of renewal process
Enable a move from an operational relationship to a more strategic focus
4.
The Auckland Kindergarten Association Schedule of Premises and Site Plans (Attachment
A) lists the 39 premises separated into local board areas. Each local board is asked to
approve the new community leases for the premises from their area and for which site plans
are included.
5.
The activity of the Association is of a local purpose nature rather than recreation. There are
three of the 39 sites where the land is not classified as local purpose as set out in
Attachment A. The affected boards are asked to approve a lease under Section 73(3) of the
Reserves Act 1977. Prior to granting the lease, public advertising of Councils intention is
required under Section 73(4) of the Reserves Act 1977 and approval from the Minister of
Conservation or their delegate if required. Iwi consultation pursuant to Section 4 of the
Conservation Act 1987 is required on two sites where they are not contemplated in a
Reserve Management Plan. Council staff will consider and work through a process if
required to reclassify the kindergartens lease area from recreation reserve to local purpose
(community buildings) reserve in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977.
6.
There are four of the 39 premises where the land the kindergarten is sited on is an
unclassified recreation reserve. The affected boards are asked to support the classification
of the reserves as set out in Attachment A as local purpose (community buildings) reserve
pursuant to Section 16 (2A) and Section 14 of the Reserves Act 1977, and recommend
approval by the Parks, Recreation and Sport Committee.
7.
This report recommends the granting of a new community lease for multiple premises to
Auckland Kindergarten Association for 10 years commencing 1 April 2015 with one 10-year
right of renewal. This is the recommended term in the Auckland Council Community
Occupancy Guidelines July 2012 where the group owns the building.

of the Reserves Act 1977 and recommends approval by the Parks, Recreation and
Sport Committee.
Comments
9.
The Association has 39 community leases with Auckland Council across the region where
the Association owns the building. These individual community leases have varying terms
and conditions, commencement and end dates which can be complicated to manage for
both parties. The Association approached Auckland Council to find an agreed solution. A
community lease for multiple premises would align the 39 community leases with the same
terms and conditions, commencement and end dates.
10.
A community lease for multiple premises will benefit both Auckland Council and the
Association for the following reasons:
Consistency of management of the leases with the same terms and conditions
One report per annum on community outcomes
Streamlined management of the next right of renewal process
Enable a move from an operational relationship to a more strategic focus
Page 88
11.
This will be the first community lease for multiple premises for Auckland Council. Council
staff can see benefits for other groups with multiple premises.
12.
Auckland Council legal advice recommends that the Association surrender their existing and
expired leases as listed in Attachment A so that when a new community lease is approved it
will commence from 1 April 2015.
13.
Attachment A lists the 39 premises separated into local board areas. Each local board is
asked to approve the new community leases for the premises from their area.
14.
The activity of the Association is of a local purpose nature rather than recreation. There are
three of the 39 sites where the land is not classified as local purpose as set out in
Attachment A. The affected boards are asked to approve a lease under Section 73(3) of the
Reserves Act 1977, required when the established activity does not fit within the present
classification. Prior to granting the lease, public advertising of Councils intention is required
under Section 73(4) of the Reserves Act 1977 and approval from the Minister of
Conservation or their delegate if required. Iwi consultation pursuant to Section 4 of the
Conservation Act 1987 is required on two sites where they are not contemplated in a
Reserve Management Plan.
15.
For the three sites Council staff will consider and work through a process if required to
reclassify the kindergartens lease area from recreation reserve to local purpose (community
buildings) reserve in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977.
16.
Where the land is an unclassified recreation reserve the affected boards are asked to
support the classification of four reserves as set out in Attachment A as a local purpose
(community buildings) reserve pursuant to Section 16 (2A) and Section 14 of the Reserves
Act 1977, and recommends approval by the Parks, Recreation and Sport Committee. This
classification will support the activity that is currently being undertaken and Parks staff has
been consulted.
17.
The Association was incorporated under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957 on 28 February
1911. The associations objectives are:
providing facilities for and undertaking early childhood education and care within New
Zealand
promoting and encouraging early childhood education and care.
18.
Council staff has sought input from relevant Council departments.
19.
A Community Outcomes Plan as approved will be an attachment to the lease and reported
on annually by the Association.
Consideration
20.
The recommendations within this report fall within the Local Boards allocated authority
relating to local, recreation, sport and community facilities.
21.
A portfolio meeting has been held with each local board and they were presented with the
proposal for the lease for multiple premises.

22.
The Association has long standing community leases on the properties. Maori are
benefactors as users of the services and it is considered the granting of a new community
lease for multiple premises will not have any adverse impact for Maori.
Implementation
23.
The recommendations within this report do not trigger the Auckland Council Significance
Policy.

Purpose
1.
This report seeks the Howick Local Boards (HLB) endorsement for Auckland Council
Property Limited (ACPL) to recommend for disposal the site at 29 Tiraumea Drive,
Pakuranga.
Executive Summary
2.
The council-owned property at 29 Tiraumea Drive, Pakuranga has been identified as

potentially surplus to council requirements through a review process.
3.
The subject property a 718m2 residential site with a standalone dwelling. This site was
acquired in 1968 by the Auckland Regional Authority for motorway purposes and is no
longer required for this purpose.
4.
ACPL commenced the rationalisation process for this property in 2013. Consultation with
council and its CCOs, Iwi authorities and the HLB has now taken place. No accepted
alternative service uses for this site were identified during the rationalisation process. The
HLB has provided informal feedback that it is supportive of the proposed disposal of this site.
5.
A resolution for the sale of the site is required from the Finance and Performance Committee
before any proposed disposal can be progressed.
Recommendation/s
a)
endorses Auckland Council Property Limiteds recommendation to the Finance and

Performance Committee to dispose of 29 Tiraumea Drive, Pakuranga.
Comments
6.
ACPL and ACPD work jointly on a comprehensive review of councils property portfolio. One
of the outcomes of the review process is to identify properties in the council portfolio that are
potentially surplus to requirements and that may be suitable to sell. The subject site was
identified as potentially saleable through the review process.
7.
Once a property has been identified as potentially surplus, ACPL engages with council and
its CCOs through an Expression of Interest (EOI) process, to establish whether the property
must be retained for a strategic purpose or is required for a future funded project. Once a
property has been internally cleared of any service requirements, ACPL consults with local
boards, mana whenua, ward councillors and the Independent Maori Statutory Board. All
sale recommendations must be approved by the ACPL Board before it makes a final
recommendation to the Finance and Performance Committee.
8.
The subject property a 718m2, flat, residential site with eastern and southern boundaries to
public reserve. The improvements comprise of a standalone, 1960s, weatherboard and tile
dwelling. It has a 2014 rating valuation of $550,000. The Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan
zoning is residential.
9.
This site was acquired in 1968 by the Auckland Regional Authority for motorway purposes.
It was subsequently transferred to the Auckland Regional Council, which declared it surplus
in 1991. It was subsequently transmitted to Auckland City Council to manage as part of the
Auckland Regional Roading Designation Fund but the title was not changed. Following the
Auckland Regional Roading Designation Fund being wound up, the site was transferred to
Manukau City Council in 2010, and transferred to Auckland Council in 2011 upon
amalgamation of the legacy councils.

Howick Local Board

20 April 2015
The rationalisation process for this property commenced in 2013. EOIs were sought from
council and its CCOs in respect of these sites. Parks and Community Policy and Planning
(CPP) expressed an interest in absorbing this site into an adjoining reserve as open space.
The HLB were supportive of retaining this site to enhance the adjoining reserve by removing
the dwelling on the subject site and adding the site to the reserve to increase accessibility,
visibility and safety of the park. This option was investigated by Parks and CPP and
considered by the Portfolio Review Steering Group (PRSG) in April 2014. It was found that
there was no need to incorporate this site into the adjoining reserve, and the PRSG decided
that the rationalisation of this site should proceed.
11.
The Heritage Unit and the Maori and Strategy Relations team were provided the opportunity
to flag any issues. Neither of these parties raised any relevant issues.
12.
The results of the rationalisation process to date indicate that this property is not required for
current or future service requirements. As such ACPL recommend that this site be sold.
Item 23
10.
Consideration
13.
ACPL first engaged with the HLB regarding this property in early 2013. The HLB were
supportive of retaining this site to enhance the adjoining reserve. After this option was
investigated and subsequently not supported by Parks and CPP, ACPL held a further
workshop with the HLB, which verbally acknowledged that it endorsed the proposed disposal
of this sites in principle but wished to pass a formal resolution.
14.
The HLBs resolution will be included in ACPLs report to the Finance & Performance
Committee.

15.
11 iwi authorities were contacted regarding the potential sale of 29 Tiraumea Drive,
Pakuranga. The following feedback was received.

File No.: CP2015/05297
Purpose
1.
This report provides an overview of the Empowered Communities Approach (ECA),

including local board involvement in developing the approach.
Executive Summary
2.
The Mayors Proposal for the Long Term Plan 2015-2025 (LTP) includes developing a more
empowered community approach to the work of Auckland Council. The proposed changes
are:
to transition delivery to a more empowered community approach.
to move away from direct delivery (and therefore save overheads) and fund community
groups to deliver more.
for local boards to play a much more active role by allocating more funding through
them.
3.
The purpose of the Empowered Communities Approach (ECA) is to develop a new, more
effective and empowering approach to the way council delivers services and supports
community activities. The ECA will establish a new operating model for the Community
Development and Safety (CDS) unit which will shift its service delivery to have a greater
focus on local and community empowerment, with a view to embedding this way of working
across council departments and council- controlled organisations.
4.
A reduction in the cost to deliver community development over time is expected, starting with
savings in the 2015/2016 financial year.
5.
A political advisory group (PAG) has been established to provide strategic advice and
guidance as staff develop the ECA. Discussion has centred on what empowered
communities look like, and what shifts are required within council to support them. The PAG
meeting in March endorsed the proposed approach. PAG feedback included the importance
of meeting local needs, rather than a one size fits all approach. Two further PAG meetings
will be held on 16 April and 4 May.
6.
An engagement programme with local boards is underway. Key steps in this are:
two chairs and portfolio holder workshops.
individual board workshops in April.
a report to local board business meetings in May/ early June.
The final empowered communities approach and the CDS operational model will be reported
to the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee for endorsement in June 2015, for
implementation in July-December.
7.
A targeted programme of community engagement is underway.
Recommendation/s
a)
receives the Developing the Empowered Communities Approach report.
b)
where required by the timing of the existing business meeting, the local board either
delegate, hold an extraordinary meeting or accept a late report so that the board can
provide formal feedback during the period 5 May 3 June.

Background
8.
The Mayors Proposal for the Long Term Plan 2015-2025 (LTP) includes developing a more
empowered community approach to the work of Auckland Council. The proposed changes to
the community development function are:
to transition delivery to a more empowered community approach.
to move away from direct delivery (and therefore save overheads) and fund community
groups to deliver more.
for local boards to play a much more active role by allocating more funding through
them.
9.
The purpose of the Empowered Communities Approach (ECA) is to develop a new, more
effective and empowering approach to the way council delivers services and supports
community activities. The ECAP will establish a new operating model for the Community
Development and Safety (CDS) unit which will shift its service delivery to have a greater
focus on local and community empowerment, with a view to embedding this way of working
across the council family.
10.
A reduction in the cost to deliver community development over time is expected, starting with
savings in the 2015/2016 financial year.
11.
A political advisory group (PAG) has been established to provide strategic advice and
guidance as staff develop the empowered communities approach. Discussion has centred
on what empowered communities look like, and what shifts are required within council to
support them.
Political Advisory Group

12.
A Political Advisory Group (PAG) has been established to provide strategic advice and
guidance to staff during the development of the empowered communities approach.
Membership of the PAG includes the Mayor, six local board members (Andrew Baker, Efeso
Collins, Vanessa Neeson, Peter Haynes, Julia Parfitt and Kay McIntyre), five governing body
members (Cathy Casey, Linda Cooper, George Wood, Alf Filipaina, Penny Hulse) and a
representative from the Independent Mori Statutory Board (Karen Wilson).
13.
At their meeting on 6 March 2015 the PAG endorsed the proposed approach. The key
points discussed were:
Empowered Communities: Enabling Council: The approach is underpinned by a twoway relationship between council and the community; leading to improved outcomes for
Auckland.
Describing empowered communities: an empowered community is one where
individuals, whanau and communities have the power and ability to influence decisions,
take action and make change happen in their lives and communities. This includes
communities of place, interest and identity.
How to support community empowerment: community empowerment is about providing
real opportunities for people to participate and fostering the conditions that support this.
An empowered communities approach is a way of working that empowers people to
play a more active role in the decisions that affect their communities.
14.
Working in a way that empowers communities requires whole of council shifts to:
provide a gateway / portal into council resources and information.
provide more support for local boards and other areas of council to work together in
joined-up ways with local communities.
facilitate and embed the empowered communities approach across council.
Page 120
Howick Local Board

20 April 2015
support the devolution of resources / functions / control to communities.

15.
Other key feedback from the PAG included:

the model should involve high trust between council and the community and be based on
building good relationships.
the path Mori have been on provides an example for the ECA, which should draw from
the Mori Responsiveness Framework.
one size does not fit all and the model may look different across different activities of
council and in different communities, reflecting the make-up of those communities and
their capability and capacity.
all parts of council need to work collaboratively to make this work. This should include
the council-controlled organisations (CCOs).
capacity building is important and there need to be examples of how to do this
effectively.
recognition that embedding this approach will take time.
16.
Staff will report back to the PAG on 16 April with the following:
revised approach.
the proposed operating model for the CDS unit.
supporting tools.
budget and implementation implications.

Item 24

20 April 2015
Consultation and engagement

19.
Engagement with community stakeholders is ongoing, with initial feedback workshops held
in March across the region. At the workshops, staff explored with participants what
capabilities and ideas for empowering communities, equity issues and activities the
community see themselves as best delivering. Engagement was sought on what is best kept
as council core functions in relation to community development and safety.
20.
Internal staff consultation is ongoing as the approach is developed. A number of workshops

have been held with staff from all departments in the operations division in the first instance.
Consideration
21.
The empowered community approach aims to provide a much more active role for local
boards in community development.
22.
ECA builds on the strong focus on community led planning and development in the Local
Board Plans 2014.
23.
Local boards views will be sought through the process outlined above.

24.
The ECAP has the potential to impact on Mori over time. Engagement with mataawaka and
mana whenua will be undertaken during the engagement phase to enable staff to
understand potential impacts.
25.
A representative from the Independent Mori Statutory Board sits on the PAG.
Implementation
26.
The model will be implemented in CDS in 2015/2016. The approach will be rolled out across
the whole of council over time.

Local board advocacy and feedback on Long-term Plan 2015 2025

proposals
File No.: CP2015/05824
Purpose
1.
This report provides a summary of the feedback received through the Long-term Plan 2015 2025 (LTP) consultation relevant to the Howick area for the local boards consideration to
help inform its advocacy to the Budget Committee and their decision making on locally
driven initiatives (LDI budgets).
Executive Summary
2.
The LTP proposals were released for public consultation in January 2015, with local
engagement and Have Your Say events held through until 16 March to receive feedback.
Feedback was also received through written or online forms, email and through social
media.
3.
In total, the Council received and processed over 27,000 pieces of written feedback of which
1300 were received from the Howick Local Board area. In addition over 40 people attended
a Have Your Say event in the Howick Local Board area on 3 and 5 March 2015.
4.
Attached to this report is a summary of the feedback received through the LTP consultation
on local and regional proposals for the Howick Local Board area. This feedback will help
inform the Howick Local Boards advocacy to the Budget Committee at discussions on 24,
28 and 29 April. These discussions are timed to inform the Budget Committee prior to them
making decisions on the LTP on 7 and 8 May 2015.
5.
The feedback will also assist the Howick Local Board decisions in their decision making
when finalising LDI and advocacy content for their Local Board Agreements 2015/2016.
Recommendation/s
a)
Receive the summary of feedback from Howick Local Board area consultation report
in attachment A.
b)
Confirms an updated list of advocacy points for the discussions with the Budget
Committee on 24, 28 and 29 April (Attachment B).
Comments
6.
The summary of the feedback received through the Long-term Plan 2015 - 2025 (LTP)
consultation relevant to the Howick Local Board is in Attachment A. It must be noted that
the figures may not necessarily represent informed feedback. This feedback is only one of
many tools to help the local board in their decision-making.
7.
This feedback builds on the local boards understanding of their community priorities and
preferences. It will also inform the local boards advocacy to the Budget Committee at
discussions on 24, 28 and 29 April. At these discussions the board will have the opportunity
to provide feedback on the key consultation issues of investing in Auckland, fixing transport,
sharing rates and housing and development. The board may also provide feedback on
regional proposals with particular impact locally and may advocate for specific local priorities
where the Budget Committee is the decision maker, such as large capital projects.
8.
The updated advocacy points in relation to the LTP are in Attachment B (to be tabled at the
meeting).

Item 25
Consideration
9.
The Howick Local Board needs to consider any changes that it might make to their LDI
budgets or advocacy in light of the feedback on the LTP proposals.

10.
Many local board decisions are of importance to and impact on Maori. The local board
agreements are important tools that enable and can demonstrate the councils
responsiveness to Maori. The local board agreement is based on the local board plan which
are both been developed through engagement with the community, including Maori.
Implementation
11.
Following the local board discussions with the Budget Committee on 24, 28 and 29 April the
Budget Committee will make decisions on regional proposals on 7 and 8 May. Local boards
will then hold workshops from 14 to 20 May to finalise their local board agreements prior to
them being adopted at board meetings between 9 and 16 June.
