Auckland Transport Report - 21 September 2015 Page 11

Auckland Transport Report - 21 September 2015

File No.: CP2015/19111

Purpose 1. The purpose of this report is to respond to local board requests on transport-related matters

and to provide information to Elected Members about Auckland Transport activities in the local board area.

Executive Summary 2. This report covers matters of specific application and interest to the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local

Board and its community, matters of general interest relating to Auckland Transport activities or the transport sector, and Auckland Transport media releases for the information of the Board and community.


a) receive the Auckland Transport Monthly report for September 2015.

b) approve construction of the Hunters Corner Street lights from Shirley Road to Sutton Crescent, with an increased budget from the previously agreed $292,000 to a total cost of $320,000.

c) approve construction of (Option 1 as attached) footpath upgrades in the Old Papatoetoe Business Improvement District, stage one being St George Street from Wallace Road to Shirley Road at a total cost of $740,000.

Comments Transport Capital Fund Project Update 3. The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board receive $549,292 per year of the triennium; the purpose of

this fund is to provide an opportunity for the Board to provide transport improvements to align with the aspirations of their local board plan.

4. The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board has in this triennium decided to focus their Transport Capital Fund money on improving local business districts. The local board used the fund to complete a project in Otara that enables a seamless connection from the Bus Interchange on East Tamaki Road to the Otara Town Centre and then on to the Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT). The $500,000 contribution was a part contribution to Auckland Council’s Economic Development project that also included art work.

5. Previously the local board upgraded Davies Avenue, Manukau to become an open space, using the fund from the first triennium.

Old Papatoetoe Business District Footpath Upgrade 6. Auckland Transport has completed the design of the upgrade to the Old Papatoetoe Business

District. The proposal is to upgrade the footpaths and street furniture in the business area from Wallace Road, along St George Street, finishing at the recently upgraded section of Shirley Road.

7. Auckland Transport has spoken to Auckland Council Property Ltd (ACPL) to ensure that the options presented to the local board at the workshop on 7 September, align with the upgrade of the pedestrian mall.

8. Auckland Transport presented the attached options and recommends that the Local Board select option 1 ensuring that this is finished with a sealant that ensures chewing gum is easy to remove, with a proposed cost of $740,000. Attachment A.

Hunters Corner Streetlight Upgrade 9. Auckland Transport has reviewed the Hunters Corner Streetlight upgrade project following

completion of the design. The scope of the street lighting upgrade is on Great South Road from Sutton Crescent to Shirley Road.

10. Auckland Transport’s original concept proposed a simple replacement of the existing old concrete poles with new poles in the same locations but updating them with LED luminaires. This proposal does not meet the new lighting levels required by the street lighting design standard. This requires us to improve the current lighting requirements for this area, particularly at the intersections.

11. Auckland Transport propose to do this by adding streetlights to existing traffic signal poles and

by replacing some low level traffic signal poles with combined signal and streetlight poles. Ensuring that the ability for banners remain at the same dimensions that currently exist.

12. The fixed cost required to construct this project is $320,000, this is an increase from previous

estimates proposed for this project. The last cost estimate was $292,000. It is recommended that the local board approve the new estimate of $320,000 for the works in Great South Road, and that should there be any savings on this project when the work is completed, that Auckland Transport carry out side road LED replacements to ensure that the budget is fully spent.

Approved Transport Plan 13. Auckland Transport presented the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board with the finalised

programme from the consultation of the proposed RLTP (Regional Land Transport Plan). This presentation included the proposed capital and operational programmes specifically for the Ōtara-Papatoetoe area. This programme is attached, please note that as with all plans and

Item

programmes, these are subject to change, but Auckland Transport will consult with the local board if this happens. Attachment B.

Manukau Bus/Train Interchange (previously Lot 59) 14. Auckland Transport and Auckland Council Property Limited (ACPL) have met to discuss

opportunities for development within the Manukau area. Currently, the local board has a workshop planned for 5 October, where a joint presentation will be made on these opportunities and where they currently sit within the delivery of the interchange programme.

Kolmar, St George and Wallace Intersection Upgrade

15. As requested by the local board, Auckland Transport and Auckland Council Property Group have met to discuss this project. Both teams are investigating all options and will present these to the local board as a joint presentation on the 5 October. We will then provide a report for the 19 October Business Meeting.

New Tender System for Auckland’s Bus Services

16. In a milestone for the city’s transport services, Auckland Transport is calling for tenders to operate its New Network bus services in south Auckland (including Pukekohe and Waiuku).

17. These will be the first tenders called under the new Public Transport Operating Model (PTOM) system and the first PTOM tenders called to create the long awaited New Network. This will mean major improvements to the way people travel on bus, train and ferry.

18. With the southern tender process leading the way, invitations will be called progressively for bus operators to tender in other sectors; west Auckland will be next later this year.

19. The tenders for Auckland’s southern bus services opened on 17 August and close on 28 September. The successful tenderers will be named early in 2016 and should be operating the New Network Services by October 2016.

20. The New Network will create a region-wide network of bus, train and ferry services. The key principle is to run a number of high frequency services that are designed to work together through easy connections, using what is called a “hub and spoke connected network”.

21. By having more frequent services operating every 15 minutes, 7am to 7pm, seven days a week, passengers can just turn up and go. They will meet connecting services at transport interchanges - the spokes, the interchanges being the hubs.

22. The services, where appropriate, will feed train services rather than duplicating them to maximise the efficiency of the new electric rail fleet and between buses and trains and provide more direct and frequent journeys for south Auckland and the rest of the region.

23. The call for tenders represents a milestone both in providing bus services to Auckland’s travelling public and also in the way they are provided. PTOM is a service contracting framework under the Land Transport Management Act (LTMA) 2003, ratified by NZ Transport Agency (NZTA). It subsidises passenger routes and incentivises service providers to maximise efficient and effective delivery of public transport in a partnering arrangement with Auckland Transport.

24. PTOM is welcomed by NZTA, it recently approved Auckland Transport’s Request for Tender process and documentation that will be used to attract tenderers and select the operators.

25. Under PTOM about half the region’s bus services will be contracted by competitive tender and the balance will be directly negotiated with the current bus operators.

26. These arrangements differ significantly from the current part contracted and part-deregulated system in which bus companies receive fare revenues and subsidies.

27. Check out the New Network: https://at.govt.nz/about-us/campaigns/next-steps-in-public-transport/new-bus-network/

Upgrade to White Light for Auckland Streets

28. Auckland Transport has begun New Zealand’s most ambitious LED replacement programme.

27. It is replacing 44,000 high pressure sodium (golden yellow light) street lights with energy efficient light emitting diodes (LED) luminaires. Auckland Transport owns more than 100,000 street lights, approximately one third of the country’s total lighting stock.

28. The first phase of the programme is being rolled out over five years and will see half the regions street lights change from golden yellow light to white light.

29. The rest of the conversion to LEDs will potentially follow in four to five years and project is expected to see net savings of $32 million over the 20 year design life of the LED luminaires.

30. In March, Transport Minister Simon Bridges – who is also the Minister of Energy and Resources – announced a policy change that would allow local authorities looking at upgrading road lighting to LED to access funding faster.

31. Auckland Transport has just awarded for four new Street Light Maintenance and Renewals contracts for four years beginning this month. This includes the replacement LED programme which began in May 2015.

32. Mr Bridges says this is an excellent result and that the accelerated renewal LED conversion programme ensures capital is available to all councils that wish to undertake this work. LED technology – which is cheaper over time, safer and more efficient – is a smart choice for communities and for New Zealand.

33. The region is divided into four contract areas: Electrix Ltd won the north and west contracts, Downer ITS won the central and south contracts. Auckland Transport is in the process of awarding a contract to Northpower for Waiheke Island. Northpower is the Vector contractor on the island so has a depot and staff there.

34. Phase one of the contracts focuses mainly on residential roads which comprise approximately 40 per cent of the regions street lighting network.

35. AT has had a policy since 2012 that all new lights on pedestrian dominated roads will be LED luminaires. Changing the old lights to LEDs will reduce the energy consumption by more than 60 per cent. Auckland Transport already has approximately 2,000 energy efficient LED luminaires in service. The roll-out will immediately see 1,000 lights replaced in the Mount Albert/Mount Roskill area.

36. At the same time the new luminaires are changed a Tele-management System (TMS) is being installed to manage and monitor the network. Through better management of light levels a further 15 to 20 per cent of energy savings can be achieved. The TMS will provide enhanced customer service as any faults on the network will be reported daily.

37. AT already has LED luminaires around Eden Park which are controlled by a TMS system. This was established under an earlier project and has worked well by increasing light levels before and after events.

38. International experience has shown that white light is also a factor in crime prevention; delivers greater comfort and security and improves visibility and reaction times for drivers and pedestrians, resulting in fewer vehicle crashes and injuries.

Local Board views and implications

39. The Board’s views will be incorporated during consultation on any proposed schemes.

Implementation 40. All proposed schemes are subject to prioritization, funding and consultation.

Corner of Sutton Crescent and Great South Road, Papatoetoe Page 33

Corner of Sutton Crescent and Great South Road, Papatoetoe

File No.: CP2015/19129

Purpose 1. To report the findings of the “Sutton Corner Concept Working Party” and recommend

adoption of the preferred concept plan.

Executive Summary 2. On 16 March 2015 the Otara Papatoetoe Local Board resolved “that the Ōtara-Papatoetoe

Local Board:

a) approve the setting up of the Sutton Corner Concept Working Party.

b) agree the Terms of Reference for the working party.

c) appoint Members Robertson and McCracken as its representatives on the working party, with Member Robertson to chair the working party.

d) request that the working party complete its work and report back to the board in July 2015 with its preferred concept plan options” (OP/2015/30 refers).

3. The Working Party, which was made up of groups directly impacted by the future development, met on four occasions and considered a number of concept options. The preferred option is attached and recommended for adoption.

4. The working party unanimously agreed that the attached plan was the option that could best achieve the desired community outcomes.


a) Adopt the attached Sutton Crescent and Great South Road Corner, Papatoetoe, Concept Plan.

Comments 5. The parcel of land on the corner of Sutton Crescent and Great South Road, Papatoetoe, is

contained in eight titles comprising approximately 6,400 square metres.

6. The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board Plan proposes to open up the Sutton Crescent/ Great South Road corner, to make the sports facilities visible from Great South Road and create an open space close to the Hunters Corner shopping area. The local board plan continues a long-standing council policy to acquire this land. Council already owns some of the land.

7. While the broad outcomes for the corner site are well established, the details of development still need to be worked out. An approved concept plan for the site is needed to provide a clear vision and framework to assist council with decision making on acquisitions, property (including lessee) management and future site development.

8. The Otara Papatoetoe Local Board resolved to establish a working party to consider various options and recommend a concept plan encompassing the parcel of land.

9. The working party comprised two members from the Otara Papatoetoe Local Board, two representatives from the Hunters Corner Town Centre Association Incorporated, two

Item

21 September 2015


representatives from the Papatoetoe Sports and Community Charitable Trust and a representative from Hunters Plaza.

10. The working party met on four occasions; 30 March, 13 April, 4 May and 25 May 2015. The methodology employed was to identify stakeholder requirements and aspirations, consider legal requirements and to develop a concept plan to achieve as many of the identified requirements as possible.

11. The requirements and aspirations of stakeholder organisations were identified as:

Green space Need green space with an indoor /outdoor café /restaurant. The space does not need to be a huge area but we need somewhere for shoppers to have an al fresco lunch and eat their sandwiches. Preference for a green communal space.

Civic identity We also need a civic heart; some sort of feature such as a rotunda, town clock tower or water fountain is needed.

Passive recreation Passive recreation area required. Not keen to see the area built-up and enclosed.

Active recreation At least one 3-a-side basketball court and hoop and a commercial gymnasium.

Formal and informal sport Pavilion for tennis and netball. Additional tennis court. Indoor basketball /netball /volleyball /badminton court adjacent to the pavilion.

Sustainability Awareness and acceptance of the trust’s need for financial sustainability.

12. Various concept options were considered, including options developing the corner site solely with the titles currently owned by Auckland Council, developing the site with any one or more of the titles not currently owned by Auckland Council and lastly the corner site in its entirety.

13. The working party systematically considered concept options. The options firstly considered were based around the utilisation of the properties currently owned by Auckland Council. The working party unanimously agreed that those options could not achieve the desired community outcomes.

14. The options secondly considered were based around the utilisation of the properties currently owned by Auckland Council together with any one additional property not currently owned by Auckland Council. The working party unanimously agreed that those options could not achieve the desired community outcomes.

15. The options thirdly considered were based around the utilisation of the properties currently owned by Auckland Council together with any two additional properties not currently owned by Auckland Council. The working party unanimously agreed that those options could not achieve the desired community outcomes.

16. The options lastly considered were based around the utilisation of the corner site in its entirety. The working party unanimously agreed that this option could best achieve the desired community outcomes.

Item

21 September 2015


Consideration


17. The findings of the working party and the rationale for such findings were discussed with the Otara Papatoetoe Local Board at a workshop on Monday 6 July 2015.

Māori impact statement

18. 15.6% of Otara Papatoetoe residents identified themselves as Maori in the 2013 census, compared with 10.7% across the Auckland’s population. The desire to create additional areas of open space and enhance the visibility of and access to existing open space will benefit all residents, including Maori.

19. Maori will be invited to engage during the site’s detailed design and development. The recommended concept plan recognizes the intent to include abstract themed play that recognises the Maori and Pacific culture of Papatoetoe.

Implementation 20. The adoption of the recommended concept plan requires no further implementation.

Comments

Background

7. OMAC is a purpose-built music arts centre that opened in July 1988. The centre is council-owned and operated and includes a main performance hall, a green room/meeting space, a digital music production suite and a recording studio, as well as music rehearsal rooms for private one-on-one music lessons.

21 September 2015


8. Over time, OMAC has been known as ‘Ōtara Music Arts Centre’ alongside a Māori name, ‘Takutai-ā-Kiwa’. The origins of the Māori name are not completely known but it translates as ‘The Shores of Kiwa’. The purpose of changing the name of the facility to ‘OMAC Takutai-ā-Kiwa’ is to offer a brand that will hold currency in both the community and music industry.

9. As part of improving business processes, staff are developing three-year business plans for all local arts and culture facilities, including OMAC. These plans require local board approval.

10. The business plan (Attachment A) sets out the strategic context in which OMAC operates, and communicates the centre’s vision, mission, objectives, and priorities, as well as the actions that will be taken to achieve them.

11. The business plan for OMAC aligns to the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board Plan (2014-2017) where appropriate, and notes the vision along with outcomes, objectives and key initiatives that are considered of high relevance to the business plan.

Scope of the Plan

12. The business plan covers the three-year period from 2015/2016 to 2017/2018. Priorities and actions are to be reviewed and updated annually.

13. The scope of the business plan is set out in Table One below:

Table One: scope of OMAC business plan

In scope Out of scope

All public spaces within OMAC Auckland Council arts and culture facilities other than OMAC

All programming activities within OMAC Auckland Council community facilities

All community outreach activities by staff

All relationship management activities between the centre and stakeholders

Information and feedback used in informing the business plan

14. Staff held a workshop with local arts and culture stakeholders in March 2015 to invite views and ideas on what could be done to improve the centre’s engagement with local residents and communities. Local board members have been closely involved in the business planning project, including attendance at the stakeholder workshop. These discussions have informed the business plan.

15. Staff also reviewed and analysed of the following:

annual visitor and participant survey data

all visitor and attendee statistics

demographic profile information for the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board area

an online survey that looked at whether the facility was achieving its purpose and how to improve the facility’s reach to the community

to develop and implement an OMAC Mar-Comms Plan

to conduct an operational review of the Village Recording Studio including hire options and equipment and software upgrades.

17. One of the proposed actions from the business plan is to establish/instigate a wall of fame at OMAC that showcases past artists. This would require an initial capex investment of $5,000.

Consideration


18. The OMAC business planning project was formally presented to the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board at its 16 February business meeting, where it was resolved that Member Fuli be the board’s representative on the project steering group.

19. Local board members were invited to attend and contribute to the 31 March strategic workshop where future priorities for OMAC were discussed.

20. The vision, mission, objectives and key performance measures were discussed with Member Fuli at the 4 May steering group meeting and with Member Lee at an arts portfolio catch-up on 28 May.

21. The vision, mission, objectives and key performance measures were circulated to members for their feedback in June. No comments were received.

22. The draft business plan was presented and discussed with Member Fuli at the 29 June steering group meeting.


23. Mana whenua representatives were invited to participate in the strategic workshop with local arts and culture stakeholders in March 2015.

24. The population in the Ōtara-Papatoetoe local board area is 15.6 per cent Māori; greater than the Auckland-wide average of 10.7 per cent. Participation in current programming offered at OMAC is reflective of local demographics.

Implementation 25. The business plan includes a set of key performance measures and annual targets.

Performance against these targets will be presented annually to the local board along with progress on delivering priorities and actions identified within the business plan.

26. A high-level update on OMAC and implementation progress on the business plan will be provided to the local board through quarterly omnibus reporting.

Report back on 2014/15 Local Environment and Waste Minimisation work programmes Page 63

Report back on 2014/15 Local Environment and Waste Minimisation work programmes

File No.: CP2015/15681

Purpose 1. To provide a summary of outcomes to the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board from their local

environmental work programme for the 2014/2015 financial year.

Executive Summary 2. The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board identified aspirations in their Local Board Plan 2014-

2017 to achieve ‘healthy harbours and waterways’ and ‘thriving communities’ in their board area. To give effect to these aspirations the local board committed $25,529 in total to local environmental and waste minimisation projects in 2014/2015.

3. The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board agreed to allocate this funding in 2014/15 as follows:

support for an enhanced Wai Care programme ($7,029)

support for the Manukau Harbour Forum ($8,500)

support for a resource recovery scoping study ($10,000).

4. This report summarises the key achievements and outcomes of projects delivered through these budget lines as part of the board’s 2014/2015 environmental work programme.

5. In addition to summarising the key achievements of the 2014/2015 local board environmental work programme this report also provides an update on related regional projects delivered in the board area in 2014/2015.

Recommendation That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board:

a) Notes the outcomes and achievements of their 2014/2015 local environmental work programme.

Comments 6. The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board identified aspirations in their Local Board Plan 2014-

2017 to achieve ‘healthy harbours and waterways’ and ‘thriving communities’ in their board area. To give effect to these aspirations the local board committed $25,529 in total to local environmental and waste minimisation projects in 2014/2015.

7. As stated above, the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board funded three projects to be delivered from this total local environmental budget in 2014/2015. These were:

support for Wai Care – board contribution of $7,029 to enhance the regional programme of works in their area.

support for the Manukau Harbour Forum – board contribution of $8,500 to a work programme jointly funded by eight other boards.

support for a resource recovery scoping study – board contribution of $10,000 to a joint project with four other southern boards.

8. A summary of achievements and outcomes for each of these projects for the 2014/2015 financial year is provided below.

Wai Care Programme - $7,029

9. Wai Care is a regional Auckland Council programme that encourages schools and community groups to engage in water quality monitoring and care of their local streams.

10. Through this budget the Ōtara-Papatoetoe board funds a higher level of Wai Care activity in their board area than could be achieved through regional budgets.

11. This meant that in 2014/2015 as part of their involvement in the Wai Care programme a number of schools in the board area participated in class sessions on stream ecology before undertaking stream monitoring trips and fish surveys.

12. The funding that the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board provided to augment this regional funding supported the following schools and key Wai Care activities in 2014/2015. The activity and schools supported by this regional investment is detailed further in this section.

Dawson’s Primary School

13. Dawson’s Primary increased their involvement with Wai Care in 2014/2015. Year five to eight students were introduced to Wai Care with in-class sessions on water quality followed by a visit to the stream at Rongomai Reserve to test the water and identify stream macroinvertebrates of the Otaki Creek. An extra class took on scientific investigations of the Ōtara Creek.

14. Wai Care co-ordinators have been working closely with a science ‘hub’ teacher on a stream investigation which has been a core part of his programme. A group of year three to eight students planted 300 plants along the Ōtara Creek at Kennel Hill and also along Te Irirangi Drive at the flood detention pond.

De La Salle College

15. De La Salle College’s year nine science classes continued their regular water quality monitoring of the Otaki Creek and the year eight classes integrated their waterway investigations into the curriculum. The school also worked with council’s Wai Care and Education for Sustainability teams to gain local board funding to implement a riparian restoration plan on the school grounds in 2015/2016.

Tangaroa College

16. Wai Care worked with Tangaroa College on their regular water quality sampling project at the Ōtara Creek for the joint Council and National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) citizen science monitoring trial.

17. Wai Care also supported the school to plant 300 trees alongside Ōtara Creek with funding and support from the local board and Contact Energy.

Papatoetoe East School

18. Wai Care helped Papatoetoe East School with the planning and delivery of plantings of their outdoor classroom area adjacent to the Otaki Creek. 240 year four to six students and 12 teachers planted 580 plants along this tributary of Ōtara Creek, within their school grounds.

Regional Wai Care activity

19. In addition, to the locally funded Wai Care activity, regional funding supported the delivery of the programme to other schools and community groups within the local board areas. Key achievements are listed below:

Papatoetoe Central School

20. Wai Care has been working with the year six students to collect seeds and propagate plants for planting next year. Students also undertook regular stream monitoring of the Ōtara Creek and did a stream clean up.

Item

21 September 2015


21. The school also planted 180 plants along the Allenby Stream (Ōtara) with Wai Care and support from Manukau Beautification Trust.

Papatoetoe High School:

22. Wai Care worked with Papatoetoe High School enviro council, continuing the riparian planting along the Ōtara Creek on their school grounds. This included extending the riparian planting and weeding (including moth plant growth) around the existing native plants. The project is now in its tenth year.

23. The school also conducted a wider stream clean up with the assistance from the Manukau Beautification Trust.

East Tamaki School

24. Students worked with Wai Care to plant near the Dawson’s Primary School site of Te Irirangi Drive at the flood detention pond.

Community engagement

25. Wai Care supported nine members of the community and 18 adults from the Corrections periodic detention team with an Otaki Stream clean-up. The groups collected enough rubbish and bamboo to fill a 15 cubic metre skip.

Church of Latter Day Saints

26. Wai Care worked with the Latter Day Saints, Papatoetoe Stake who held an annual "Helping Hands" community service event clearing litter on another section of the Otaki Stream.

27. Wai Care also held a demonstration session on water quality monitoring methods and displayed freshwater fish and stream macroinvertebrates for the Latter Day Saints at the Harania Stream

Manukau Harbour Forum - $12,000

28. The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board is also a member of the Manukau Harbour Forum (MHF). The broad objectives of the MHF are to ensure collective action by the 12 local boards surrounding the Manukau Harbour to improve the water quality of the harbour.

29. In 2014/2015 the MHF work programme focused on developing a strategic communications plan, including developing content for the MHF and Manukau Harbour pages on the Auckland Council website as well as the ongoing newsletters to stakeholders and interested parties.

30. At the time of writing, a total of three of the flagship sites events had been held. A full report back to the Forum on the first year of the Forum’s work programme was presented on 10 August 2015.

31. The board allocated $12,000 in 2015/2016 to fund year two of the MHF work programme at its May 2015 meeting (Resolution number OP/2015/71). Further updates on this work will be provided to the board through quarterly updates.

Southern Resource Recovery Facility - $10,000

32. The development of a regional Resource Recovery Network (RRN) is a key initiative in Auckland Council’s 2012 Waste Management and Minimisation Plan and will contribute towards the regional goal of zero waste by 2040.

33. A long-term strategy for the RRN was endorsed in 2014 which involves council developing 12 Community Recycling Centres over the next ten years. The strategy recommends two of these sites be established within the combined boundaries of the Howick, Mangere-Ōtāhuhu, Manurewa, Ōtara-Papatoetoe and Papakura local boards and allocates funding for their establishment.

34. These five local boards each allocated $10,000 from their 2014/2015 budgets to support a scoping study for resource recovery in the south, with complementary funding of $50,000 from regional budgets. The scoping study is being completed in two stages.

35. Stage one of the scoping study has focused on information gathering; identifying existing resource recovery initiatives and groups or businesses that could play a role in resource recovery in the future, finding suitable sites for Community Recycling Centres (CRCs) and starting the analysis on how the RRN could develop in the south.

36. A report on phase one of the scoping study was presented to the relevant boards at a joint workshop in July 2015. More detail regarding the outcomes of this project is included in attachment A and is summarised below. Key outcomes included:

Identification and categorisation of 107 existing resource recovery and recycling related facilities in the study area.

Identification of a number of sites that warrant further investigation as to their suitability as Community Recycling Centres or for other community-led resource recovery activities.

Engagement and discussion with over 70 organisations interested in exploring opportunities represented by the Resource Recovery Network in the south.

37. Within the Ōtara-Papatoetoe local board area, council partnered with O-Waste to identify other organisations who might have potential to be engaged in resource recovery in future. O-Waste is a collective of organisations including Otara Health, The Roots, Otara Unlimited, Crosspower, Te Puke O Tara and the Otara Business Association, who are already engaged in waste minimisation activities through a regional partnering arrangement with council.

38. The second stage of the scoping study will encourage connections, and possible collaborations, between potential operators of facilities and assist them in identifying what their capacity building requirements are.

39. The search for potential sites will continue, with in-depth analysis applied to identify the most suitable sites for CRCs. Finally a plan will be developed to progress the establishment of at least two CRCs in the south within the next two to five years.

Consideration


40. This is a report prepared specifically for the Ōtara–Papatoetoe Local Board.


41. It is recognised that environmental management, water quality and solid waste disposal have integral links with the mauri of environments and concepts of kaitiakitanga.

42. Some of the identified activities were and are of interest to Maori and, where appropriate, provisions for mana whenua participation, contribution, and consultation in projects will be incorporated.

43. As noted in Auckland Council’s Waste Management and Minimisation Plan, the tangata whenua world view reflects the WMMP’s emphasis on an integrated life cycle approach to the management of natural resources and the concepts of zero waste, waste recovery and waste minimisation.

44. In recognition of this, consultation and engagement with Māori was undertaken as part of the southern scoping study for the development of the RRN.

45. This work in the local board area contributes to a region wide initiative to work in collaboration with mana whenua and mataawaka to create a mind-set and behaviour change to seeing waste as a resource and minimising waste to landfill.

21 September 2015


1. Affordable and accessible options

2. Children and young people being more active

3. Promoting healthy and active lifestyles

4. Auckland’s diverse range of communities being more active.

11. The Manurewa Local Board will consider a recommendation to allocate $15,000 at the Thursday 10 September local board meeting on the basis that Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board allocates equally.

Comments 1. The implementation of the new Community Grants Policy commenced on 1 July 2015. The

policy supports each local board to adopt a grants programme for 2015/2016 and the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board adopted its grants programme on 20 April 2015 under Resolution Number OP/2015/50 (see Attachment A).

2. The local board grants programme sets out:

local board priorities

lower priorities for funding

exclusions

grant types, the number of grant rounds and when these will open and close

any additional accountability requirements.

3. The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board will operate four quick response rounds for this financial year. The first quick response round closed on14 August 2015 2015.

4. The new community grant programmes have been extensively advertised through the new council grant webpage, local board webpages, local board e-newsletters and Facebook pages, council publications, radio, local newspapers and community networks. Staff have also conducted a series of public workshops in local board areas, which have been attended by approximately 1000 people across the Auckland region.

5. For the 2015/2016 financial year, the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board set a total community and events grants budget of $330,000, as below:

2015/2016 Annual Budget

Fund Type Grants

paid Balance

$164,000 Local Community Grants Funds $164,000

$166,000 Local Events Support Grants Fund $143,511 $22,489

$330,000 $143,511 $186,489

6. It is recommended that the board consider allocating up to $23,310 of this in this grant round.

7. Ten eligible applications were received for this quick response round, requesting a total of $23,968. One application, from the 2014/2015 grant round is now submitted for this local board’s consideration. This is a multi-board application and was not available for the last local board meeting timeframes. The applicant is therefore requesting more than the $1,500 limit for the quick response grant programme.

8. Two applications received are not eligible. One application was for an event taking place prior to the local board business meeting. The second application was incomplete as some required information not supplied, including a requested amount. The applicant was given

additional time to fully complete and resubmit the application, but was not able to supply this information.

Consideration


9. Local boards are responsible for the decision-making and allocation of local board community grants. The Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board is required to fund, part-fund or decline these grant applications against the local board priorities identified in the local board grant programme.

10. The board is requested to note that section 50 of the Community Grants Policy states “We will also provide feedback to unsuccessful grant applicants about why they have been declined, so they will know what they can do to increase their chances of success next time.”


11. The provision of community grants provides opportunities for all Aucklanders to undertake projects, programmes, activities that benefit a wider range of individuals and groups, including Maori. As a guide for decision-making, in the allocation of community grants, the new community grants policy supports the principle of delivering positive outcomes for Maori, One organization has indicated their project targets Maori or Maori outcomes.

Implementation 12. The allocation of grants to community groups is within the adopted Long Term Plan 2015-

2025 and local board agreements.

13. Following the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board allocating funding for round one quick response, Commercial and Finance staff will notify the applicants of the local board’s decision.

Youth Connections Quorum Change Page 199

Youth Connections Quorum Change

File No.: CP2015/19074

Purpose 1. To request the Youth Connections Local Governance Group (LGG) for Māngere-Ōtāhuhu

Local Board and Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board quorum for formal decision making be reduced from four to three members, under the Terms of Reference, clause 4.2.

Executive Summary 2. The Youth Connections Local Governance Group (LGG) for Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara-

Papatoetoe Local Boards was set up by the two boards. The LGG has six members, three from each board and the Terms of Reference require four members as the quorum for formal decision making by the LGG (clause 4.2). At several meetings called recently, the quorum has not been achieved, causing difficulty to the LGG with transacting its business.


a) approve a change to the Terms of Reference for the Youth Connections Local Governance Group, clause 4.2, reducing the quorum for formal decision making by the LGG from 4 members to three members.

Comments 3. The Youth Connections Local Governance Group (LGG) for Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara-

Papatoetoe Local Boards was set up by the two boards under terms of reference approved in resolutions of each board MO\2013\535 on 20 November 2013 and OP\2013\543 on 18 November 2013.

4. The Terms of Reference require four members as the quorum for formal decision making by the LGG (clause 4.2). The LGG has six members, three from each board.

5. At several meetings called recently, the quorum has not been achieved, causing difficulty to the LGG with transacting its business.

6. On 27 August 2015, the LGG discussed the quorum issue. During its discussion, the LGG noted that the terms of reference were to be updated this electoral term. The update requires a wide review of the working of the LGG, which will take some time to complete. Given the practical difficulties, it was considered desirable to amend the quorum requirement, ahead of the general update of the terms of reference.

7. The LGG recommended to the two boards that the quorum be reduced from four to three.

For Information: Reports referred to the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board

File No.: CP2015/19164

Purpose 1. This report provides a summary of information-only reports and resolutions for circulation to

the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board.

2. The Albert-Eden Local Board has referred resolution AE/2015/78 regarding the Notice of Motion – Call for Public Consultation on the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (Attachment A), that was considered at the 2 September 2015 meeting.

Resolution number AE/2015/78

MOVED by Member GD Easte, seconded by Member MJ Watson:

That the Albert-Eden Local Board:

a) Receives the Notice of Motion – Call for Public Consultation on the TPPA.

b) Notes that;

i. While the proposed Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) will hopefully generate economic benefits to New Zealand through increased trading opportunities for exporters, there are also significant potential risks to our sovereignty, environment and way of life;

ii. The TPPA negotiations have been conducted over the last eight years without any public disclosure of the contents let alone consultation or adequate debate about its principles or provisions;

iii. The only publicly available information about the detail of the proposed treaty has come about through partial leaks and overseas sources;

iv. Much of this so-called free-trade agreement consists of provisions to protect the interests of multi-national corporations, including investor-state rules that would allow multi-national companies to sue our government for damages in secret extra-legal tribunals if laws or regulations or policies of either local or central government affected their ability to trade or make a profit within New Zealand;

v. The resolution of Auckland Council on 20th December 2012, and in particular clause xii which calls for TPPA negotiations to be conducted with “real public consultation including regular public releases of the text of the agreement and ratification being conditional on a full social, environmental and economic assessment including public submissions;”

vi. The Government has apparently ignored the Council resolution, and similar resolutions from other Councils and numerous other public interest organisations and stubbornly refuses to release any meaningful information about the contents of the treaty.

c) Requests that Auckland Council;

i. Seeks clarification from the Minister of Trade on how their recommendations are being addressed in current negotiations;

ii. Makes available to local boards and Auckland citizens the government’s response and an analysis of the adequacy of undertakings to address Council’s concerns

d) Requests that officers circulate these resolutions and background information to the Mayor and the Governing Body, and all other local boards.

Item

22


21 September 2015


e) Urges the Minister of Trade to urgently release the broad principles and rules of the draft TPPA and provide sufficient information and time for the public to have an informed debate and understanding of the full social, environmental and economic impact.

CARRIED

Recommendation/s

That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board:

a) note the Albert-Eden Local Board AE/2015/78 resolution regarding the Notice of Motion – Call for Public Consultation on the TPPA.
