13   Auckland Transport – Regional Land Transport Plan 2021
     Resolution number PPK/2021/48
     MOVED by Chairperson B Catchpole, seconded by Member S Smurthwaite:
     That the Papakura Local Board:
     a)    receive the Auckland Transport – Regional Land Transport Plan 2021 report.

     b)    provide the following feedback on the Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP)
           2021:

           1)     The board believe the RLTP 2021 correctly identifies the most important
                  transport challenges facing Auckland.

           2)     The board believe that allocation of funding to electrify the rail line to
                  Pukekohe, increase the number of electric/hydrogen buses, start
                  decarbonisation of the ferry fleet and funding to support the uptake of
                  electric cars are very important. Although the board believes
                  incentives for the uptake of electric cars should be a central
                  government matter.

           3)     The board believe the road safety projects which align with Auckland
                  Transport’s Vision Zero strategy are very important.

           4)     The board believe the proposed travel choices projects are very
                  important.

           5)     The board believe the better transport connections and roading
                  projects are very important.

           6)     The board believe the walking and cycling projects are very important.

           7)     The board believe the projects proposed for transport infrastructure
                  relating to Auckland’s growth are very important.

           8)     The board believe managing the transport assets is very important.

           9)     The board believe funding for community projects, funding to
                  undertake long-term planning for the future and customer experience
                  and technology improvements are very important.

           10)    The board would like to see the Papakura bus metro included with the
                  Papakura train station park and ride upgrade.

           Focus on Climate

                                 Minutes                                              Page 6
Papakura Local Board
28 April 2021

           11)   The board supports the electrification of the rail line to Pukekohe and
                 beyond to Hamilton. This is an advocacy point in the Papakura Local
                 Board Plan 2020.

           12)   The board supports increasing the number of electric/hydrogen buses
                 and replacing the Auckland vehicle fleet with new EV vehicles.

           13)   The board has an advocacy point in outcome 3 of the local board plan
                 for more local initiatives to contribute to decarbonisation by
                 encouraging more use of public transport. Examples would be electric
                 on-demand public transport options or better bike storage at transport
                 hubs. The board is thankful to Auckland Transport for the opportunity
                 to be trialling an on-demand bus service in its local board area.

           14)   In the Local Board Plan 2020 outcome 4 the board advocates for
                 monitoring and improving our air quality. The board requests Auckland
                 Transport to work with the appropriate authorities to monitor the
                 improvements in air quality resulting from the initiatives proposed:

                 -     Congestion pricing scheme
                 -     Electric/hydrogen buses
                 -     Other local initiatives such as on demand bus services and modal
                       transport shifts.

           15)   Papakura train station will be the hub for the Te Huia service (Hamilton /
                 Papakura train service) and the board advocates for the electrification
                 of the rail line from Pukekohe to Hamilton to reduce carbon emissions.

           Impact of Covid-19

           16)   The board is conscious of the importance of public transport use to
                 reduce traffic congestion and reduce the impact on the environment.
                 The board is aware public transport use has been significantly affected
                 as a result of Covid-19 and supports initiatives to encourage the
                 community to return to public transport use.

           Development opportunities

           17)   The board is happy to see $11 million proposed for the Papakura rail
                 station park and ride and would like this to also include consideration
                 for an upgraded bus metro station at this location.

           18)   The board is aware that with this budget the demand for parking at the
                 station is still likely to be greater than the parking upgrade is proposed
                 to provide. The board requests funding further alternative options to
                 decrease demand for parking at the station, eg: on demand bus
                 services similar to the current trial underway at Takaanini, Papakura.
                 Pending success of this service it could be expanded to Red Hill and
                 Conifer Grove/Waiata Shores.

           19)   The board supports the Franklin Local Board’s proposal for a south
                 eastern bus link that enables commuters from Ardmore, Clevedon and
                 Kawakawa Bay a public transport link to the Papakura train station,
                 thereby relieving parking demand at the Papakura train station.

                                  Minutes                                           Page 7
Papakura Local Board
28 April 2021

           20)   The board is supportive of Auckland Transport working with Panuku to
                 investigate opportunities for high rise development (parking
                 underneath, retail at grade with residential above) at its transport hub.
                 The board sees this as an opportunity to access additional funding for
                 selling air rights to assist with funding better park and ride facilities.

           21)   The board is aware that the proposed designs for the new stations at
                 Drury and Paerata will have limited parking available and advocates for
                 planning for the growth in the area by adding additional parking
                 capacity in the design.

          Safety and maintenance

           22)   The board is supportive of the Auckland Transport proposal for greater
                 investment to make the roading network safer.

           23)   The board requests additional funding for integrated safety measures
                 to address pedestrian safety and connectivity for roads where
                 development happens and there is no chance of upgrade. The issue of
                 rural roads requiring upgrading to urban road standards in response to
                 significant growth in the local board area is a safety concern. There are
                 examples where rural road ditches need covering and footpaths
                 installed yet the location does not allow the remedial costs to be placed
                 on a developer, eg: Walters Road. Children are having to cross busy
                 arterial roads putting themselves at risk because there are no
                 appropriate traffic controls in place, eg: pedestrian crossings,
                 footpaths and traffic calming devices.

           24)   The Hingaia area is also an area experiencing significant growth that
                 requires safety measures, eg: from the Papakura motorway along
                 Hingaia Road to Karaka bridge and the finishing off of Hingaia Road, as
                 well as signalising the Oakland Road and Hingaia Road intersection
                 and speed reduction measures where appropriate.

           25)   The board has an advocacy point in its local board plan 2020 to
                 encourage better planning of new roads to ensure appropriate road
                 widths. This would enable more vehicles to be parked outside housing
                 without obstructing or narrowing the roadway.

           26)   The board also believes Auckland Transport should be encouraging
                 shared pathways as a standard requirement for new developments as
                 this will encourage a behaviour change and enhance a safe multi-modal
                 experience.

           27)   The Local Board Plan 2020 outcome 3 advocates for the establishment
                 of safe and clear walking and cycling links between key facilities to
                 encourage a shift away from using motor vehicles.

           28)   The board advocates to Auckland Transport for budget for safety
                 measures for roads, footpaths and intersections to mitigate
                 intensification and growth impacts on safety and traffic flow.

           29)   The board advocates for budget to progress the removal of through
                 traffic, including buses, from the Papakura main street (Great South
                 Road), and the modelling for a centre bypass with and without lights.

                                Minutes                                             Page 8
Papakura Local Board
28 April 2021

           30)    Historically road maintenance has not kept pace with traffic volumes
                  and growth. The board requests the backlog of work needing
                  completion to be addressed. Papakura has a lot of development and
                  regular truck movements across the urban area. The board would like
                  provision made in the RLTP for funding to address the backlog of work
                  in the road maintenance area.

           31)    The board also advocates for improved pathway safety including
                  lighting, accessibility and proactive maintenance to prevent problems.

           32)    The board requests funding support to create a pedestrian friendly
                  environment on Broadway, Papakura, between Great South Road and
                  O’Shannessey Street.

           33)    The board requests that Auckland Transport funds the removal of the
                  gobi blocks on Manuroa Road as part of the programme to upgrade the
                  road.

          Rapid and frequent train and bus services

           34)    The board is pleased to see the RLTP is funding a third rail line and
                  potentially a fourth line between Wiri and Westfield.

           35)    The board advocates for accelerated planning for the third rail line to be
                  extended further south for freight transportation to free up the
                  commuter network for more efficiencies. This advocacy is reflected in
                  the Papakura Local Board Plan 2020.

           36)    The board is heartened to see recognition in the RLTP of the
                  requirement for rail separation in Takaanini as this is an advocacy point
                  in the Papakura Local Board Plan 2020 and has been for some time.
                  The board believes this matter will become more of an issue as the City
                  Rail Link comes online and the frequency of trains increases.

           Local Board programmes

           37)    The local board supports the Local Board Capital Transport Fund being
                  reinstated to the pre-Covid levels going forward.

           38)    However, the board is disappointed that its Local Board Capital
                  Transport Fund allocation of $2.4 million for the Pescara/Pylon Point to
                  Elliott Street boardwalk and pathway made prior to Covid is currently
                  not being reinstated.

           39)    The board requests that the Local Board Capital Transport Fund budget
                  allocated to projects from previous financial years be restored.

           40)    The board supports the restoration of the Community Safety Fund and
                  requests all eligible projects be commenced by the end of the 2019 –
                  2022 electoral term.

           41)    The board notes the $423 million is allocated for the State Highway One
                  Papakura to Drury South project and requests $7 million be allocated to
                  the Pescara Point to Elliott Street boardwalk and pathway to connect
                  the State Highway One cycleway to the Papakura town centre. This
                  pathway aligns with Auckland Transport’s aspiration to encourage
                  modal change in how people move around.

                                 Minutes                                            Page 9
Papakura Local Board
28 April 2021

           42)   The Franklin, Manurewa and Papakura Local Boards all have local path
                 plans.

           43)   The board requests budget allocation to allow the three local boards to
                 connect multi-modal shared cycleways in the south, for instance, the
                 Hunua trail and Waiata Shores bridge to allow bike riders to use the
                 pathways for connections within the area.

           44)   The board also seeks assistance and funding to leverage opportunities
                 to connect the cycleway network to the Mill Road project and beyond.

           45)   The board advocates to Auckland Transport to ensure local recruitment
                 is undertaken for local projects and that people are paid the living wage
                 as a minimum. This would support the local board outcome 1, a vibrant
                 and prosperous local economy, with the objective “thriving business in
                 the local board area as local people buy from local businesses”; and
                 the initiative: “continue to advocate to the Governing Body and
                 council-controlled organisations to use their buying power to create or
                 support local employment and economic development”.

           Policy changes

           46)   The board believe increasing fines for unsafe driving are less important
                 as there is a tipping point where people won’t be able to afford to pay
                 the fines and therefore it won’t be a deterrent and those that can afford
                 to pay don’t care.

           47)   The board believe the demerit scheme to address persistent unsafe
                 driving is moderately important as it does drive a behavioural change.

           48)   The board believe congestion charging is moderately important.

           49)   The board acknowledges the congestion pricing scheme is likely to:
                 •     be effective in encouraging public transport use
                 •     encourage driver behaviour to avoid peak times thereby levelling
                       the peak demand
                 •     encourage the use of other transport modes.

           50)   The board is concerned about the financial impact on people already
                 struggling in the low and limited income brackets. The price of housing
                 forces these people to live in the outer suburbs, thereby they are forced
                 to travel to their work which may be within the city centre trial area.

           51)   The board is also concerned if the congestion pricing scheme area was
                 to be expanded further into the southern region as more low income
                 people would be impacted.

           52)   The board welcomes investigations into timing and geographic ring
                 fencing to ensure that low income workers who have no alternative are
                 not impacted by the congestion pricing scheme.

           Environmental and climate change policies

           53)   The board believe higher standards for fuel emissions is moderately
                 important. The board agree to it being imposed on council vehicles but

                                  Minutes                                         Page 10
Papakura Local Board
28 April 2021

                 to encourage the general public an assistance scheme may be required
                 as often people can’t afford to get their vehicles suitably repaired or
                 upgraded.

           54)   The board believe incentives to promote electric vehicle ownership is
                 very important but see this as a central government responsibility.

           55)   The board believe that the removal of the Fringe Benefit Tax for
                 employers who subsidise public transport for their employees is very
                 important.

           Regional Fuel Tax

           56)   The board supports the proposal to vary the Regional Fuel Tax
                 scheme.

           57)   The board is pleased that the Mill Road project will also be funded by
                 the Regional Fuel Tax. This project is a significant project for the
                 Papakura area. The board believe there are opportunities to link the
                 Mill Road cycleway to the State Highway One cycleway and advocates
                 for the regional fuel tax component to part fund this work.

           58)   The board requests a budget be allocated that will allow Auckland
                 Transport to support local boards to deliver connected pathways in the
                 south that link into State Highway One and the Mill Road projects as
                 well as the Hingaia peninsula and the Takaanini / Drury area.

           59)   The board is pleased to see the road safety programme increased with
                 an additional $22million of the Regional Fuel Tax funding. The board
                 advocates for funding that will respond to growth that impacts rural
                 roads to ensure the timely provision of footpaths, cycleways,
                 pedestrian crossings and speed limits.

           60)   The board advocates for funding for the shared pathway from Pescara
                 Point (State Highway One shared pathway) to Elliott Street
                 (Greenways/Pathways projects 12 and 13) both as an active transport
                 connection and a tourism opportunity to link to the town centre into the
                 cycleways network. The board is very supportive of connecting
                 cycleways, however, the costs associated are prohibitive for a local
                 board to deliver.

           61)   The board requests the establishment of a budget that would respond
                 to the challenge of rural roads becoming urban, ie: Auckland Transport
                 work with Healthy Waters to pipe and cover ditch drains for footpaths
                 where there is no opportunity for developers to contribute, eg: Walters
                 Road and Airfield Road

           Connected Communities

           62)   The board seeks the Drury to Papatoetoe Great South Road corridor
                 issues to be addressed including the on road cycleway in Takaaini that
                 should be separated from Great South Road.
                                                                             CARRIED

       a)        receive the report on proposed variations to the 2018 Regional Fuel Tax

       b)        provide the following feedback on the proposed variation to the 2018 Regional
                 Fuel Tax scheme:

            i)       The board supports the proposal to vary the Regional Fuel Tax scheme.

16   Papakura Senior Citizens Hall - Transfer of assets to Auckland Council
     Resolution number PPK/2021/52
     MOVED by Member S Smurthwaite, seconded by Deputy Chairperson J Robinson:
     That the Papakura Local Board:
     a)   recommend that the Parks, Arts, Community and Events Committee decline the
          transfer of Papakura Senior Citizens Hall to Auckland Council, noting that:
               i)     the Papakura Senior Citizens Club is no longer in existence
               ii)    the Senior Citizens Club Deed of Incorporation would require council to
                      hold the hall in trust to benefit older people in Papakura and
                      surrounding areas. This creates limitations on the use of the hall.
               iii)   there is no identified need for additional hall/venue for hire space as
                      there is capacity for more bookings and activities in other council
                      owned facilities in Papakura
               iv)    the hall is in poor condition with weathertightness, internal guttering
                      and fire safety system issues

                  standard or for ongoing renewals and operating costs
           vi)    there is support for the Papakura Senior Citizens Club to distribute the
                  proceeds of sale to charitable groups to benefit older people in
                  Papakura and surrounding areas.

     b)   recommend that the Parks, Arts, Community and Events Committee approve
          the withdrawal of Caveat 073463.1 subject to Auckland Council staff confirming
          there are no ongoing requirements arising from the Deed and Bond.

     c)   request advice and report back from officers on the status of the local board

     a)   approve in principle the integration of the Papakura Service Centre into Sir
          Edmund Hillary Library, Papakura
     b)   note that there will be a comprehensive training programme for libraries staff to
          ensure they can support customers seeking assistance with service centre
          transactions.
     c)   note that the community will be made aware of the change to the Papakura
          Service Centre, six to eight weeks prior to the change implementation, and
          request that the local board be integrated into the communications plan.
     d)   request that the Papakura Local Board be engaged in the design of the new
          library layout for providing an integrated service.
     e)   agree that the health, safety and wellbeing of council staff and the public is a
          high priority and note that officers have assured the local board that all aspects
          of this change and the impact on health and safety as it applies to Sir Edmund
          Hillary Library have been considered, and further that security measures to
          accommodate the new service centre functions including cash-handling
          facilities will be implemented, and these security measures will continue to be
          audited and updated as required.
     f)   request an update on how customer services will be integrated into Te Paataka
          Koorero o Takaanini ( the Takaanini Community Hub and Library.
     g)   note that the use of local libraries is an allocated local board decision making
          responsbility, and therefore the local board continues to seek early, proactive
          engagement and reporting by staff to give effect to the local board’s
          governance role.

20   Draft Statement of Expectations for Council-controlled Organisations
     Resolution number PPK/2021/55
     MOVED by Deputy Chairperson J Robinson, seconded by Member K Mealamu:
     That the Papakura Local Board:

     a)    provide the following feedback on the draft Statement of Expectations,
           prepared in accordance with s64B of the Local Government Act 2002:

           i)     the board supports the preparation of a Statement of Expectations
                  (SOE) for Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs).
           ii)    the board notes that the SOE is intended to be part of a wider
                  framework of accountability for CCOs, along with the CCO
                  Accountability Policy, the CCO Governance Manual, and the
                  Statements of Expectations and Intent for each CCO.
           iii)   the Independent Panel on the Review of Council Controlled
                  Organisations in 2020 recommended that the SOE should set out:

                  •    how each CCO should conduct relations with the governing body,
                       local boards, Māori entities and the public
                  •    the council’s expectations of individual CCOs as well as of CCOs
                       generally
                  •    the extent to which the council expects CCOs to consult it when
                       developing significant plans or strategies
                  •    the council’s expectations about CCO chief executives’ salaries and
                       tenure.
           iv)    while the draft SOE generally sets out the provision recommended by
                  the Independent Panel, it does not include expectations of individual
                  CCOs. The board support the recommendation of the Independent
                  Panel that these should form part of the SOE.
           v)     The board support the draft SOE’s acknowledgement that ‘local boards
                  are not a ‘stakeholder’, but an integral part of the council’s governance
                  system’ and that ‘local boards will be involved as governors (not
                  stakeholders) when the decision impacts on their local governance role
                  or has high community interest in their local community’
           vi)    more detail is needed in the draft SOE regarding how CCOs should give
                  meaningful effect to the local governance role of local boards beyond
                  the requirements to ‘build and maintain good relationships’ and
                  ‘consult with local boards genuinely and early’

                 vii)        the draft SOE should include reference to CCOs working to deliver
                             strategies and key activities from local board plans, alongside the
                             existing references to the Auckland Plan and the Long-term Plan.
                 viii)       the board acknowledges the need to implement the draft SOE alongside
                             the revisions to the CCO Accountability Policy currently being
                             consulted on as part of the Long-term Plan. However, the board believe
                             that the process and timeframe for local boards to provide input into
                             the draft SOE has not been adequate and does not meet the local
                             board’s expectations regarding having the opportunity to provide
                             meaningful and considered views.
                 ix)         further revisions of the SOE and the CCO Governance Manual to give
                             effect to the recommendations of the Independent Panel should use a
                             process that allows meaningful and considered input from local
                             boards.
                                                                                            CARRIED

22    Public feedback on proposal to make new navigation rules
      Resolution number PPK/2021/57
      MOVED by Member S Smurthwaite, seconded by Member F Auva'a:
      That the Papakura Local Board:
      a)    receive the public feedback on the proposal to make a new Te Kaunihera o
            Tāmaki Makaurau Ture ā-Rohe Urungi Āhuru 2021 / Auckland Council
            Navigation Safety Bylaw 2021 and associated controls as attached to this
            agenda report.
      b)    provide the following Papakura Local Board views on how the Bylaw Panel
            should address matters raised in public feedback to the proposal for a new Te
            Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Ture ā-Rohe Urungi Āhuru 2021 / Auckland
            Council Navigation Safety Bylaw 2021:
            i)           The board does not support increasing the speed to 18 knots as they
                         believe:
                         •   it suits the larger powerful vehicles rather than smaller boats and
                             yachts
                         •   18 knots is too fast
                         •   there will be an impact of the wake on the environment with the
                             increased speed

                 •   increasing the speed will potentially increase the number of incidents
                     and injuries on the water.
          ii)    The board agreed with the bylaw proposal for the requirement to carry two
                 different forms of communication equipment.
          iii)   The board note that the speed limit only relates to the inner Waitematā
                 Harbour.
     c)   decline the opportunity to present the board’s views in resolution b) to the
          Bylaw Panel on 7 May 2021.

23   Review of the Code of Conduct - draft revised code
     Resolution number PPK/2021/58
     MOVED by Chairperson B Catchpole, seconded by Member F Auva'a:
     That the Papakura Local Board:
     a)     provide the following feedback on the draft revised Auckland Council Code of
            Conduct to append to the report to the Governing Body on 27 May 2021:
            •    The Registry of Gifts allowance could allow for a $100 limit, rather than the
                 current $500 limit, any lower and it would create a lot of unnecessary
                 administrative work.
     b)     support the proposed revised draft Auckland Council Code of Conduct to be
            adopted by the Governing Body on 27 May 2021.
                                                                             CARRIED
