An overview of the City Transformation and Urban design programme

File No.:CP2013/26246

Purpose1. The purpose of this report is to provide the Auckland Development Committee with an

overview of the three-year (201316) regional development and transformation workprogramme for Auckland, including the city centre. It sets out key projects and initiatives thatencompass urban development, city transformation and urban design activity.

Executive Summary2. The regional development, city transformation and urban design work programme

contributes significantly to achieving the strategic directions of the Auckland Plan (2012) andAucklands vision of becoming the worlds most liveable city by 2040. A key component ofthe city transformation programme is the delivery of a number of place-based projects that

demonstrate Councils commitment to ensuring Aucklands urban design quality and long-term sustainability is vastly improved.

3. The programme includes a range of capital and operational projects and initiatives, whichoriginate from Area Planning, Structure Planning and urban design work. Projects includethose, which Council is leading, as well as those where Council is collaborating with others,including the private sector.

4. Key projects within the 2013-2016 work programme for regional development, citytransformation and urban design include:

Tamaki Transformation Project (in partnership with the Crown and TamakiRedevelopment Company)

Delivery of capital projects in areas of growth as identified in the Auckland Plan, such asHobsonville Point, Hobsonville Corridor, Westgate Town Centre and Flat Bush, includingOrmiston Town Centre and Pukekohe Town Centre

Implementation of Local Centre improvements on behalf of Local Boards includingOrakei, Kaipatiki and Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Boards

Delivery of Transit Orientated Developments (TODs) including New Lynn and Lot 59 inManukau

Implementation of specific priority capital projects within the City Centre Masterplan(2012), including the Federal Street and OConnell Street shared spaces as well as theMyers Park, Freyberg Square and Upper Khartoum Place upgrades.

Ongoing development of the Auckland Design Manual (ADM)

Ongoing management of the independent Auckland Urban Design Panel (AUDP) toreviews significant private development proposals

Review of significant council-led capital projects against best practice urban design

Design advice on major private sector Resource consents

5. The transformation of the City Centre is a key focus of the regionwide programme and is aplace-based initiative identified as one of the two Big Idea priorities in the Auckland Plan(2012). The City Centre work programme is guided by the CCMP (2012), which wasproduced in parallel with the Waterfront Plan (2012), The Economic Development Strategy

(2012) and the Auckland Plan.

6. Officers acknowledge that there are significant implications on the CCMP capital worksprogramme, given the City Rail Link and other public and private development activity in theCity Centre. Officers therefore propose to work with the Auckland Development Committeein early 2014, to establish an Integrated Project Delivery Programme for the City Centre, inresponse to the delivery and construction timeframes of the City Rail Link.

7. The implementation of the development and transformation work programme is theresponsibility of the City Transformation Unit, within the Regional and Local Planning (RLP)Department of the Chief Planning office (CPO), which has responsibility for the capital spendassociated with transformational projects within RLP. In the case of the City Centre work thisresponsibility lies with Manager, Environmental Strategy and Policy (ESP) but does notinclude Waterfront Auckland (WA) areas of control.

8. To achieve the successful implementation of the programme, the City Transformation Unit(and where appropriate the BEU) works in collaboration with a number of external andinternal stakeholders including Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs) such as AucklandTransport, Watercare, Waterfront Auckland (WA), Auckland Council Property Limited(ACPL), Regional Facilities Auckland (RFA) the private sector and with departments across

Council, including the Property, Finance and Built Environment Unit (BEU).

9. The BEU is based within the Environmental Strategy and Policy (ESP) Department of theCPO and ensures the quality of design of place-based projects across the region. The Unitis arranged around three portfolios including Design Strategy and Advocacy, Design Reviewand Design Enabling.

10. The BEU is also responsible for the implementation of Councils obligations as signatory tothe New Zealand Urban Design and the appointment of a Political Design Champion to benominated by the Auckland Development Committee.

Recommendation/sThat the Auckland Development Committee:

a) Note that the regional development and transformation work programme forAuckland (including the city centre) focuses on the delivery and implementation ofplace-based transformational projects, which demonstrate Councils commitment toensuring Aucklands urban design quality and long-term sustainability, is significantlyimproved.

b) Notes key projects within the 2013-2016 regional development and citytransformation programme.

DiscussionAucklands regional development and transformation work programme

11. The regional development, city transformation and urban design work programmecontributes significantly to achieving Aucklands vision of becoming the worlds most liveablecity by 2040. It is guided by the strategic directions of the Auckland Plan and helps todeliver the following priorities:

Realise quality compact urban environmentsDemand good design in all developmentCreate enduring neighbourhoods, centres and business areas

12. A key component of the programme is the delivery and implementation of a number ofplace-based transformational projects that demonstrate Councils commitment to ensuringAucklands placemaking, urban design quality and long-term sustainability is improved. Theprojects and initiatives of the programme, which originate primarily from Area Planning andStructure Planning work, encompass planning, design, development and implementation.

13. Projects include those, which Council is leading, as well as those where Council iscollaborating with others, including the private sector. Key projects within the 2013-2016work programme for regional development and transformation include:

Tamaki Transformation Project (in partnership with the Crown and TamakiRedevelopment Company)

Delivery of capital projects in areas of growth as identified in the Auckland Plan, such asHobsonville Point, Hobsonville Corridor, Westgate Town Centre and Flat Bush, includingOrminston Town Centre and Pekekohe Town Centre

Implementation of Local Centre improvements on behalf of Local Boards includingOrakei, Kaipatiki and Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Boards

Delivery of Transit Orientated Developments (TODs) including New Lynn and Lot 59 inManukau

Implementation of capital projects within the CCMP, including Federal Street upgrade,OConnell Street, Myers Park and Freyberg Square and Upper Khartoum Place as wellas the Shared Space programme.

14. More information on individual projects and initiatives within the programme can be found inCity Transformation Projectsdevelopment and transformation work programme(Attachment A).

Environmentally Sustainable Design

15. There is a growing focus within Auckland Council, that the projects within the developmentand transformation work programme deliver quality environmentally sustainable design, aspromoted in the Auckland Design Manual (ADM) and the proposed Auckland Unitary Plan(2013).

16. The Auckland Energy Resilience and Low Carbon Action Plan is currently in working draftform and contains actions for the way council can promote the transformation of the builtenvironment to achieve the goals set down of the Auckland Plan. Two of the key elements -'Inspiring hearts and minds through leadership and quality exemplars' and 'Supportingsustainable design standards' relate directly to the work of the BEU through the Auckland

Design Manual (ADM) and Unitary Plan (UP).


10/362

28 November 2013


17. The ADM provides information and inspiration with regards to built case studies, such as theZero Energy House in Pt Chevalier. This is supported by detailed design guidance on howto achieve this for housing projects and larger subdivisions - all of which will be updated to

ensure that this represents current international best practice. The second release of theADM in early 2014 will feature a dedicated resource on sustainability in the built environmentwith which to engage with the development community. The BEU are also preparinginformation and metrics that can help further the development of sustainable designstandards particularly for neighbourhood developments (rather than individual building).

18. The proposed Unitary Plan includes a range of measures that go some way towardsachieving more sustainable building design including:

General promotion of a quality compact city that will promote greater efficiency in transportand reduce energy use.General support for home solar energy generation.

Allowance for optimum eave depths to allow for summer shade and solar gain in winter.Requirement for larger commercial developments to include bicycle parking and end of tripfacilities.Encouragement of rainwater detention tanks, green roofs and rain gardens.New Zealand Green Building Council 4-Star Green Building rating for commercial andindustrial buildingsA minimum 6-Star level from the New Zealand Green Building Council Homestar Tool(2013) for new developments containing five or more dwellingsIntroduce the ability to use the Living Building Challenge and Australian Green BuildingCouncil tools

19. Presently there is no formal application of environmentally sustainable design principles andstandards to councils physical projects. Environmentally sustainable design and whole oflife costs do however form part of the review criteria for the BEU administered Major ProjectsReview Panel which provides a cross council review of all major council CAPEX projects.The Property Departments Sustainability Team are also leading councils organisation-widecorporate, community and business sustainability efforts promoting exemplar sustainablebuilding design projects when the opportunity arises.

Transformation of Aucklands City Centre

20. The transformation of the City Centre is a key focus of the regionwide programme and is aplace-based initiative identified as a priority in the Auckland Plan.

21. The City Centre work programme is guided by the City Centre Masterplan (CCMP), whichwas produced in parallel with the Auckland Plan. The CCMP sets out a 20-year strategicdirection for the future of the city centre. $130million has been allocated over a 10-yeartimeframe in the 2012-22 LTP for delivery of specific capital projects with the city centre.

22. Officers acknowledge that there are significant implications on the CCMP capital worksproject programme of work, given the City Rail Link and other developments in the CityCentre and propose to undertake a reproitisation of the 2013-2016 city centre capital worksprogramme, in collaboration with the Auckland Development Committee, in early 2014.

Discussion

3. The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) has lodged 2 Notice of Requirement and 15applications for resource consent with the Environmental Protection Agency for the Phoi toWarkworth section of the Phoi to Wellsford Road of National Significance. This applicationwill be heard and decided on by a Board of Inquiry. The likely notification and closing datesfor submissions are respectively, the 16 November 2013 and the 13 December 2013.

4. The Phoi to Warkworth section is part of the Phoi to Wellsford Road of NationalSignificance project. It is of strategic importance to both Auckland and Northland. It isspecifically listed in the Auckland Plan at page 334, as a transport priority for Auckland.

5. If constructed, the new motorway would continue from the end of the existing motorway atPhoi, through to the north of Warkworth. It would provide a high quality motorwayalternative to the existing State Highway 1. There would be an on-ramp and off-ramp

provided at Phoi for trips to and from the south. Construction could start in 2015 withcompletion estimated by 2025. The cost is estimated to be $1.76 billion.

Page 136

6. The council has two roles in regard to the Board of Inquiry process for this project. The firstrelates to the councils statutory responsibility to assist the Board in processing the proposalboth as a local authority and on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency. This work isbeing overseen by staff from the Area Planning team covering the Rodney and Hibiscus andBays Local Board areas. Secondly, the council may, like any other organisation orindividual, make a submission on the proposal. It is this second role that is the subject of

this report. To ensure there is a clear separation of statutory and non-statutory roles, AreaPlanning staff servicing the North Shore Local Boards are coordinating the submission.

Consideration

Local Board Views

7. The Road of National Significance will run through the Rodney Local Board area which haspreviously expressed support for the project. It is recommended the views of the RodneyLocal Board be sought as part of the preparation of a submission from the council.


8. As part of its application documentation, the NZTA states:9. Consultation and engagement with mana whenua for the Project led to the formation of

Hokai nuku, a collective of iwi representing Ngati Manuhiri, Ngati Mauku/Ngati Kauwae,Ngati Rango and Ngati Whatua iwi. Ngati Paoa provide support where required. Hokainuku have provided cultural advice to the project, participated in site walkovers withtechnical specialists and prepared an assessment of cultural effects for the Project.

10. Further discussion will take place with iwi once the project is publicly notified.

General

11. The recommendation to delegate consideration and approval of a submission is consistentwith the councils strategies and policies and does not trigger the significance policy.

Implementation Issues12. Council staff will advise on and prepare any submission. These costs are provided for within

the Regional and Local Planning Departmental budget

Heritage Update Page 137

Heritage Update

File No.:CP2013/26360

Purpose1. To provide an update on various heritage matters.

Executive Summary2. The heritage work programme has to date has focused mainly on issues arising from the

notification of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (2013) (PAUP).

Pre 1944 Overlay

3. Officers have been setting up processes to manage the implementation of the controlsresulting from the pre-1944 Building Demolition Control overlay. The focus has been on thehistoric heritage component of the rule as this has immediate legal effect whereas the

special character component does not.

4. In order to support the overlay before the PAUP hearings process, it is necessary toundertake a more comprehensive area by area survey than was possible prior to notification.In the 2014/15 Annual Plan process an investment proposal has been submitted foradditional resources to undertake this work.

Heritage Surveys

5. After completing pilot projects for inclusion in the Unitary Plan, this year additional surveysare underway in the Pukekohe area as well as a survey of state housing in the region. Workis also underway or is being scoped for surveys in Pt Chevalier, Papatoetoe, Three Kingsprecinct plan and the Manukau Harbour Foreshore survey.

The World War One Centennial Programme

6. In preparation for the centenary Council is underway with restoration and upgrades tocenotaphs, war graves and memorials. Under development is a regional First World WarHeritage Trail as well as planning for the Our Boys project.

The Auckland Heritage Festival

7. This years festival ran from the 28thSeptember to the 13thOctober and had 245 eventsacross three themes.

Seismic risks of council property

8. Property has developed and applied a priortisation framework to assess the seismic risks of

their council service portfolio (ACPD). This has included, where known, heritage andunreinforced masonry buildings.

Heritage Property

9. This report updates Councillors on progress with purchases under the Built HeritageAcquisition Fund and sites under consideration.

10. Auckland Council Property Limited is in discussions with the owner of the St James Theatre site andprogress on the Lopdell Precinct redevelopment is on track.

Item11

DiscussionPre 1944 Overlay

11. The Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (2013) (PAUP) introduces a pre-1944 BuildingDemolition Control overlay, which is partly in legal effect from 30th September 2013. Theoverlay is a map layer in the PAUP with associated objectives, policies, rules and

assessment criteria. This overlay applies to areas in Auckland identified as having beensettled pre-1944. It does not include those pre-1944 settlement areas already subject to theSpecial Character overlay nor does it include isolated pre-1944buildingsthat fall outsideareas covered by this overlay.

12. The overlay proposes a precautionary approach to demolishing residential and non-residentialbuildings.This is to address concerns that unscheduled historic heritagebuildingsand places, or groups of special characterbuildingsthat contribute to thestreetscapeorcharacter of a neighbourhood, will be lost before an evaluation is done. Once an evaluationhas been done, additional historic heritage or special character areas may be added to theUnitary Plan and this overlay amended by a plan change .

13. The overlay control has two components, historic heritage and special character. Legal

advice is that the historic heritage component has immediate effect as it is a section 6 RMAmatter. The special character component which is a section 7 RMA matter however does nothave immediate legal effect.

14. Resource consent is required for the removal, total demolition or substantial demolition(more than 30 per cent by volume) of any building constructed prior to 1944 within theoverlay. Through the resource consent process, the building is assessed to determinewhether it would meet the historic heritage scheduling criteria in the PAUP. If it does, thenthe application could be declined. If it does not, then the application would be grantedconsent. Once the PAUP becomes operative (i.e. after the hearing and release ofdecisions) an assessment will also be required to establish whether the building is part of aspecial character area and should be retained.

15. Officers have focused on developing a workable assessment process which involves apreliminary heritage assessment being undertaken within two working days. Should thispreliminary assessment indicate that there may be heritage values then a morecomprehensive assessment is undertaken.

16. In order to support the layer before the PAUP hearings process, it is necessary to undertakea more comprehensive area by area survey than was possible prior to notification. InBrisbane where a similar control was introduced this detailed survey took 10 years. ThePAUP hearing timetable will necessitate a faster process than what Brisbane underwenthence the survey work needs to be focused on what can be achieved in the time available.

17. In the 2014/15 Annual Plan process an investment proposal has been submitted foradditional resources to undertake the pre 1944 survey work. With these additional

resources it will be possible to survey for special character with some identification ofspecific historic heritage sites possible. Site by site assessments for historic heritage willrequire longer timeframes than the PAUP hearings process allows.

Heritage Surveys

18. The Auckland Heritage Survey Programme has been developed to identify importantheritage across the region for protection, celebration, and future investment. The researchresults in a list of places and areas that are of historical interest, which leads to manypositive outcomes, including opportunities for interpretation, tailored incentives, new specialcharacter areas, and evaluations for scheduling in the Unitary Plan.

19. Pilot projects have already been completed in Mngere, thuhu, Onehunga, and Balmoral

areas. This year additional surveys are underway in the Pukekohe area as well as a surveyof state housing in the region.

The greater Hobsonville Point area is currently being developed

into a large residential sub-division.34. Review of the HCL application to date, by Auckland Council (Finance, Legal and Property),

identified the need for HLC to provide further information to enabled informed decisionmaking by Auckland Council. In October 2014, Auckland Council requested furtherinformation of HLC, including:

a) A business case with detailed financial projections and estimates - with detailedrequirements set out as per requirements of our Finance Department.

b) Business case justification for retail turnover to support, rental, operating, businessexpenses and gross realisation values, etc., used within the feasibility.

c) A tenure proposal from HLC to identify land acquisition options to secure ACinvestment

St James Theatre

35. A number of options have been considered for the acquisition and restoration of the St JamesTheatre, both as a standalone acquisition and alternatively inclusive of the acquisition of adjacentproperties.

36. Currently Auckland Council Property Limited is in discussions with the owner of the St James Theatresite. We understand at this stage that the discussions focus on the possible standalone acquisition ofthe St James Theatre.

Lopdell Precinct Redevelopment

37. The $20 million redevelopment of the historic Lopdell House and proposed new Art Gallery

in Titirangi is a partnership project between Auckland Council and the Lopdell HouseDevelopment Trust (LHDT), to deliver a quality arts, theatre and cultural communitycomplex.

38. The project consists of four stages:

Stage 1 - New Car Park Deck

Stage 4 - New Gallery Construction

39. Construction is currently on schedule with a handover of Lopdell House proposed by the end

of January 2014.40. The site will remain a construction site until the end of February as the restaurant is likely to

need 4 to 6 weeks fit out. Art users will progressively relocate to Lopdell House subject toexisting commitments and logistics.
