Why Safe Speeds?
The Speed Management Guide, published in 2017, outlines the
new approach to speed management that aligns with the
National Safer Journeys strategy and the Safe System (Vision
Zero) approach to road safety.
Majority of Auckland’s speed limits are not set to a safe and
appropriate speed limit.
Auckland has a high number of Death and Serious Injuries
(DSI’s)

Mission Bay Kohimarama Residents Association perspective Don Stock Chair
30 km/hr speed restriction
• This decision already made – outside our
scope
• Slower speed reduces risk so fewer
interventions needed
• Only works if vehicles actually slow down
• Speed humps and raised crossings to enforce• 3 new pedestrian crossings
New recreational cycle path
• Current shared path is narrow and dangerous
• New path suitable for slow to medium users
• Kids on bikes and scooters
• Recreational cyclists
• E scooters, ebikes, skateboards etc
• Commuter cyclists
• Not likely to be used by high speed cycle
groupsTwo cycle path options
Option A Option B
Option to change bus layover
• Simple idea turned out to be complex
• Intent was to make Patteson shops more
attractive
• But to get buses to layover at Selwyn Ave:
• need to travel along Tagalad (or Nihil)
• Right into Atkin then right into Tamaki Dr
• Need roundabout to turn at Tamaki DrWhat are the downsides?
• Loss of painted median
• Less safe for pedestrians crossing
• Cars turning right into car park block road
• Loss of parking at western end
• Won’t get all commuter cyclists off road until
rest of Tamaki Drive cycle path built
• Have to start somewhere
• Shared paths at either end are goodOur thoughts We support the proposal but with some suggestions • Option B cycle path (on-road) • No roundabout at Atkin • Continue cycle path thru bus lane by building footpath on reserve • Extend 30km/h east of Selwyn • Check widths for road and cycle lane • Investigate footpath on reserve to provide extra width for median • Timing should be reviewed due to Council budget problems
Mission Bay noise issues NZ Police – Inspector Lyle Norris Area Prevention Manager – Auckland East Mission Bay Residents Assoc – Don Stock Questions
30th November 2020
Mission Bay
Community
Meeting
City East Auckland
Auckland City District
Inspector Lyle NorrissThe Noise issue ➢ If the issue is solely noise this sits with Auckland City Council (09) 301 0101 ➢ Call when the noise is happening (generally this is outside the hours of 8am and 8pm) ➢ Noise control will come out and assess the noise if alcohol and other anti-social behaviour are involved – they may call Police to assist ➢ WHAT DO THEY DO? – Issue an excessive noise direction (END) it lasts 72 hours – a 2nd time in that period = seize the equipment + $500 fine ➢ For more information go to the Auckland Council web page
When does it become a Police issue? ➢ If the noise is coming from a vehicle which is moving on a road ➢ Breach of the Peace ➢ Disorderly Behaviour ➢ Any other offending – including Breach of the Liquor Ban ➢ Call 111 – if we cannot attend we still have a record of this occurring which can help shape our deployment
Breach of the Peace & Disorderly Behaviour ➢ Breach of the Peace ➢ Disorderly Behaviour ➢ Wherever harm is done or likely to be done to: ➢ In a public place or within view of a public place ➢ Person ➢ Behaviour that is deemed socially unacceptable ➢ Property ➢ Needs to be “Seriously disruptive of public order” ➢ Or fear of being harmed ➢ Members of the public could not reasonably be ➢ Must be severe enough to cause alarm expected to endure because of ➢ A breach must have occurred (cannot act to prevent ➢ Intensity a breach ➢ Duration
Current trends ➢ Last 7 days – ➢ Zero reported occurrences of: ➢ Burglary ➢ Theft ➢ Theft from vehicles and Theft of vehicles ➢ Fraud ➢ Disorder ➢ Wilful Damage
What are Police currently doing? ➢ Deployment of Traffic Units – Tamaki Drive ➢ Deployment of Frontline staff – emphasis on evening/ over night (when available) ➢ Police Support Unit – when town settles comes out to Mission Bay ➢ Focus on breach of Liquor ban ➢ Cameras – monitored by camera operators in Auckland City Police Station ➢ Deploying – Pacific Wardens to this location (when working as volunteer work force)
Steps to mitigate the behaviour ➢ Education re Liquor Ban – they need to be aware the ban exists ➢ Signage – needs to be more prominent – can we (the collective) learn from other places e.g. Whangamatä ➢ How do we stop vehicles from being in the vicinity? ➢ How can we use Social Media to our advantage?
How Police enforce – ➢ Engage ➢ Communicate ➢ Educate ➢ Encourage ➢ Enforce
Mission Bay Kohimarama Residents Association perspective Don Stock Chair
What are the issues? • Noise from partying in the reserve overnight • Threatening behaviour, particularly early morning • Noise from fireworks overnight • Noise from car stereos/PA systems overnight • Excessive noise from revving vehicles
Why can’t we fix this? • Hard to catch people in the act • Intimidating for Council enforcement officers • Noise complaints are low priority for police • Are arrests/courts the best way to deal with this anyway?
So what can be done?
• Deter people from coming for anti-social reasons
• Improve signage and lighting
• Combined Police and Council approach
• Random intense patrols overnight
• Enforce parking restrictions with towing
• Call the police whenever there is an offence
• Response depends on other priorities
• Complaints drive policing plans for next week
• No silver bullet, lots of small thingsProposed retirement village

• Convert grounds into neighbourhood park
• Provide quiet alternative to Selwyn Reserve
• Increasing need with intensificationMission Bay 8 storey development Kathy Davies Mission Bay Residents Association
Mission Bay 8 storey Development
What’s Happened To Date ?
• Drive Holdings Ltd filed an Appeal against the RC
decision with the Environment Court
• MBKRA is contesting their appeal along with Council
and other parties. We have experts assisting us with
the case.
• Two days of mediation was ordered by the court and
held in February/March this year with no
compromise agreed
• On Day 2 of mediation Drive Holdings put forward
an altered plan and it is this new plan which they
will take to the Appeal HearingThe Updated Plan
• Key changes in the plan include -
• Removal of the theatre and access to the ‘podium’ level by
the public – now apartment use only
• Removal of all 1st level commercial / dining areas and the
outdoor balconies attached to these – all now apartments
• Space available for Local Centre amenity is considerably
reduced
• 1 floor drop in height of middle building on Tamaki Drv and
a part of the long building on Patteson Ave but the gaps
between buildings have mostly been filled
• The design of the building cnr Patteson Marau has changed
• The 8 storey building on the corner is unchanged
• We believe there are more negative changes than
gains from residents’ point of viewNext Steps • Evidence exchange by experts is underway • MBKRA and our experts are due to file evidence by 18th December • Final documents to be filed with the court by the end of February 2021 • Expect a court date around March 2021 and hope to hold another meeting to update before then.
That’s all folks Thanks for coming
