Auckland Smarter Transport Pricing Project

File No.: CP2017/07986
Item 9
Purpose
1. To provide an update on the Smarter Transport Pricing Project (the Project) and to confirm a
delegation to the Mayor and Deputy Mayor to lead councils input into this project, as
outlined in section 6.1 of the Projects Terms of Reference.
Executive summary
2. In September 2016, the Governing Body supported the Auckland Transport Alignment
Projects (ATAP) recommended strategic approach to the development of Aucklands
transport system [GB/2016/216]. An important part of the recommended strategic approach
is to undertake a progressive movement to smarter transport pricing (a pricing system that
reflects the actual cost of travel) to substantially improve Aucklands transport network
performance and reduce congestion. The Governing Body also supported the ATAP
recommendation to establish a dedicated project to progress this aim.
3. In recent months the establishment of the Project has progressed and a terms of reference
has now been agreed and signed by participating agencies. The Project was publicly
launched on 7 June 2017 and a memo was concurrently sent to Planning Committee
members and Local Board chairs, updating them on key aspects of the Project, including its
terms of reference. This memo is attached as an information item to this agenda.
4. The Projects terms of reference is included as Attachment A to this report and outlines the
Projects purpose, objectives, scope, deliverables, timing, governance and other relevant
matters.
5. The purpose of the Project is to undertake a thorough investigation sufficient to support a
decision on whether or not to proceed with introducing smarter transport pricing. The project
will have three deliverables a progress report, an interim report and a final report. The final
deliverable will outline the preferred option(s), including recommendations and next steps.
Legislative change would be necessary to implement any form of smarter transport pricing.
6. These deliverables will be provided to the Minister of Transport, Minister of Finance, the
Auckland Mayor and the Mayors nominee (recommended to be the Deputy Mayor) who will
provide political oversight and agreement to progress through the various phases of the
Project. Key project milestones will be reported to the Planning Committee. This is
consistent with the model used for the development of ATAP and the implementation of the
City Rail Link Heads of Agreement. This report seeks to confirm these arrangements.
Recommendation/s
a) note that the Terms of Reference for the Auckland Smarter Transport Pricing Project
has been agreed, giving effect to the Auckland Transport Alignment Projects
recommendation.
b) confirm the delegation to the Mayor and Deputy Mayor to provide political oversight
and to make formal decisions to progress through the various phases of the Smarter
Transport Pricing project (in accordance with section 6.1 of the Smarter Transport
Pricing Project Terms of Reference), consistent with the model used for the
development of the Auckland Transport Alignment Project and the implementation of
the City Rail Link Heads of Agreement.

Comments
Background
Item 9
7. The Auckland Transport Alignment Project (ATAP) was undertaken over 2015 and 2016 and
was jointly developed by Auckland Council and Government. ATAP outlined a
recommended strategic approach for the development of Aucklands transport system over
the next 30 years.
8. ATAP found that incentivising more efficient travel demand patterns was an important
component of Aucklands future transport strategy. Progressively moving to smarter
transport pricing (a pricing system that reflects the differences in the actual cost of travel for
the individual user by time, location and mode) alongside a suite of other interventions, is
critical to delivering a step-change in transport network performance in Auckland. The most
significant potential for gains from implementing smarter pricing arise from improvements in
accessibility by car and reductions in peak congestion levels.
a)
9. Transport modelling undertaken during and since ATAP has highlighted the likely scale of
impact that smarter transport pricing would have on key transport outcomes of access to
employment and congestion. Modelling shows that at peak times in particular (as illustrated
in the graphs below), smarter transport pricing has an impact on the key transport
performance metrics that is larger than that achieved by tens of billions of dollars of
infrastructure investment.
10. These findings are consistent with a substantial body of international literature that shows
that road pricing can be a very effective means to address congestion1.
11. ATAP highlighted that preparatory work on smarter pricing needed to be progressed with
urgency to develop an ambitious but feasible programme for implementation, starting with
the establishment of a dedicated project that leads to:
a. a more detailed assessment of the benefits and impacts of smarter transport pricing,
particularly net user effects, equity and any necessary mitigation measures

b. development of an implementation pathway that includes consideration of national

implications, legislative requirements, technology, and staging and trials.
12. ATAPs recommendation to establish a dedicated smarter pricing project was supported by
Item 9
the Governing Body in September 2016. The Project is multi-agency, consisting of the
Auckland Council, Auckland Transport, the NZ Transport Agency, State Services
Commission, Treasury and the Ministry of Transport.
13. The Project was publicly launched on 7 June 2017. A memo updating members of the
Planning Committee and Local Board Chairs on key aspects of the Project was provided on
the same day.
Project Objectives
14. The purpose of the Project is to undertake a thorough investigation sufficient to support a
decision on whether or not to proceed with introducing pricing for demand management
purposes in Auckland. It is essentially an options analysis exercise that will assess the
extent to which different pricing options and implementation pathways deliver on the project
objective and key considerations.
15. The primary objective of pricing is to improve the performance of Aucklands transport
network, in particular through improved congestion results. As part of achieving the
objective, consideration must be given to economic, social and environmental effects,
including:
a. ensuring key impacts of pricing on those using the transport system, including fairness,
equity and distributional impacts, are understood and appropriately addressed
b. ensuring any pricing system is cost-effective to implement, operate, administer and
enforce
c. ensuring pricing is flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances, such as developing
technology
d. ensuring the transparency on the use of any net revenue raised by any pricing system
for demand management purposes in Auckland
e. understanding national and regional implications including any impacts on the existing
land transport funding system.
16. The Project will primarily investigate pricing for demand management purposes (i.e., to
reduce congestion) on Aucklands road network. Introducing smarter pricing will raise
revenue and the Project will consider the need for transparency on the use of any net
revenue raised by any pricing system and any impacts on the existing land transport funding
system.
17. While the ultimate use of any revenue is outside of the Projects scope, previous
investigations within New Zealand and internationally conclude that road pricing is more
acceptable to communities if the resulting revenue is demonstrably applied to providing
alternatives to peak-period private vehicle use. In order to ensure the public acceptability of
smarter transport pricing, the ultimate use of revenue needs to be the subject of separate
discussion with Government.
Key Deliverables and Timing

18. The Project broadly consists of three phases:
a. Phase I: a progress report in November 2017 setting out baseline evidence (the current
state without applying transport pricing), evaluation and analytical methodology for
assessing different options against the project objectives, and a comprehensive plan for
engagement with the public and stakeholders
b. Phase II: an interim report outlining a shortlist of potential pricing options, the findings of
analysis, recommendations and proposed next steps

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
c. Phase III: a final report containing comprehensive evaluation and benefit-cost analysis of
the preferred pricing system option(s) and subsequent recommendations including a
preferred scheme/pathway and further next steps.
Item 9
19. The Minister of Finance and the Minister of Transport are providing political oversight for
Cabinet. For consistency and continuity, and to enable efficient engagement with Ministers,
it is proposed the Mayor and the Deputy Mayor provide the same for the council as outlined
in clause 6.1 of the Terms of Reference. This approach is consistent with the model used for
the development of ATAP and implementing the City Rail Link Heads of Agreement.
20. Key project milestones will be reported to the Planning Committee. At the conclusion of the
project, the final deliverable will be brought to the Committee for its consideration.
21. An initial summary work programme for the project is outlined in Attachment B.
Progress to Date
22. Most work so far has focused on project establishment, including agreeing the terms of
reference and developing the project plan. Additional early work has focused on developing
an evaluation framework, undertaking research on international lessons learned,
establishing a communications and engagement strategy and considering the role of pilots
and demonstrations. A summary evaluation approach is attached as Attachment C. This
will provide the guide for more detailed evaluation and analysis of pricing system options.
23. Appointing a Project Director is the next key milestone for the project. Next steps will also
focus on other key elements of the first deliverable, including establishing the baseline
evidence, updating transport modelling tools, finalising the communications and engagement
strategy and commencing development of the options long-list.
24. The project is likely to require substantial staff and financial resourcing over its course. For
the 2017/18 year it is funded within existing budgets and any funding requirement beyond
the current financial year will be considered as part of developing the 2018 Long-term Plan.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
25. Depending on the type and nature of a smarter transport pricing scheme, there are
potentially different sub-regional impacts. The Projects evaluation process will seek to
comprehensively understand such impacts and these will inform option selection and
recommendations.
26. In parallel with the public announcement of the Project, Local Board chairs were informed
about the Project and were sent the Terms of Reference. The communications and
engagement strategy currently being developed will identify the ways Local Boards will be
involved in the Project.
Mori impact statement

27. As part of undertaking ATAP, key findings from its Foundation Report were discussed with
staff from the Independent Mori Statutory Board. The main area of feedback was concern
with employment access projections in the south and west, where there are higher
concentrations of Mori. Improving access to employment in the west and south was a
significant focus area for ATAP and initial analysis suggests implementing pricing
substantially improves access to these parts of Auckland.
28. As pricing may increase the cost of travel, there are important equity and household cost
implications that need to be considered. These may impact upon Aucklands Mori
population, especially those needing to travel long distances at peak times but have few
travel alternatives. All these factors are important elements of the Projects evaluation
framework.

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
29. Throughout the project there will need to be ongoing engagement with Mori. The details of
this engagement will be articulated in the Projects communications and engagement
strategy, which is currently being developed.
Item 9
Implementation
30. The Project has now commenced and updates will be provided as required to future
Planning Committee workshops. As noted earlier a Project work programme is being
developed.
31. Implementation of an actual pricing scheme depends upon decisions made at the conclusion
of the Project and will depend on what recommendation is made and subsequently adopted.
Implementing pricing will require legislative change and would be a significant project in its
own right in terms of resourcing and budgetary requirements.

Adoption of the Refreshed Future Urban Land Supply Strategy

File No.: CP2017/10354
Item 10
Purpose
1. To provide a summary of the feedback received during public consultation on the refresh of
the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy and outlines the Planning Committee Deliberations
Panels recommended changes to this strategy in response to this feedback.
Executive summary
2. The Auckland Development Committee adopted the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy (the
strategy) on 15 November 2015. This strategy identifies the sequencing and timing for when
approximately 11,000 hectares of future urban land is proposed to be ready for urbanisation.
3. The adoption of the Unitary Plan by Council in 2016 made significant changes to the future
urban areas by identifying additional future urban zoned land and giving some future urban
areas an operative urban zone (i.e. live zoning, meaning that urbanisation could begin
immediately).
4. The Unitary Plan has identified approximately 11,207 hectares of future urban zoned land
and approximately 3,793 hectares of live zoned greenfield land. Most of this now live zoned
land previously had a future urban zone in the Proposed Unitary Plan. In total,
approximately 15,000 hectares of greenfield land will now be available for urban
development over the next 30 years.
5. Since the adoption of the strategy in 2015, additional technical work has been completed for
the future urban areas (e.g, the Supporting Growth project, further stormwater investigations
and water and wastewater planning), which has provided a better understanding of the
infrastructure requirements for these areas.
6. The strategy therefore requires updating to reflect both the zoning changes made as part of
the adoption of the Unitary Plan and new technical work.
7. At its 7 March 2017 meeting, the Planning Committee approved amendments to the
sequencing in the strategy for public engagement and established a deliberations panel from
members of the Planning Committee, to consider public feedback and make
recommendations back to the Planning Committee.
8. Consultation on the strategy refresh was undertaken from 29 March to 24 April 2017. Seven
public drop-in sessions were held along with two mana whenua hui, two local board cluster
workshops and a number of individual meetings with interested parties.
9. In total, 191 pieces of written feedback and three petitions were received. Feedback was
also obtained from mana whenua and local boards.
10. After consideration of the feedback, the deliberations panel was generally in agreement with
the proposed sequencing that was released for public feedback on 29 March 2017. The
main exception to this is the deliberations panels recommendations to move the Takanini
future urban area out by five years to the second half of the third decade (2043 2047) and
to bring forward a small area of land in the vicinity of Cosgrave Road in Takanini to the
second half of the first decade (2023 2027).
11. Additional changes recommended by the deliberations panel as a result of public feedback
include clarifying the structure plan process and how the strategy will be monitored through
the Auckland Plan. Information in the strategy relating to maps, land area, dwelling
capacities, costs and infrastructure considerations has also been updated.

Recommendation/s
Item 10
a) receive the summary of feedback obtained during the Future Urban Land Supply
Strategy Refresh public engagement process.
b) approve the changes to the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy (2015), as
recommended by the Planning Committee Deliberations Panel.
c) adopt the refreshed Future Urban Land Supply Strategy dated July 2017, as
proposed by the Planning Committee Deliberations Panel, shown in Attachment A,
and inclusive of any additional changes approved by the Planning Committee.
d) delegate to the General Manager, Auckland Plan Strategy and Research the ability
to make any minor edits or amendments to the strategy to correct any identified
errors or make typographical edits or to reflect decisions made by the Planning
Committee.
Comments
Background
12. The Future Urban Land Supply Strategy was adopted in November 2015 by the Auckland
Development Committee and is part of Auckland Councils wider approach for managing
Aucklands growth. The strategy provides a strategic and proactive approach for when
future urban areas will be ready for development in that they will be live zoned and have the
necessary bulk infrastructure in place.
13. The adoption of the Unitary Plan by council in 2016 made significant changes to the future
urban areas by increasing the size of some of the future urban zones as well as live zoning
parts of others. As a result, there is now a total of approximately 15,000 hectares of future
urban land identified in the Unitary Plan with an anticipated capacity for 137,000 dwellings.
This is an increase from approximately 11,000 hectares and 110,000 dwellings shown in the
2015 strategy. These changes have an impact on the sequencing and timing of
development identified in the current strategy and the resulting provision of bulk
infrastructure to these areas. It is therefore necessary to refresh the strategy to ensure it
reflects development opportunities that now exist through the Unitary Plan and the resulting
impact of this on network infrastructure provision. The need for a future review was
signalled at the time the strategy was adopted in 2015 as it was anticipated there could be
changes to the future urban zones due to the adoption of the 2016 Unitary Plan.
14. There is also an opportunity to align the strategy with recent technical work, such as the
Supporting Growth project, which developed a transport network plan to support
development in the future urban areas.
15. The draft strategy that was adopted by the Planning Committee in March 2017, proposed a
number of amendments to the sequencing of future urban areas. While some areas were
put back in the sequencing due to infrastructure constraints and the prohibitive costs to
invest in all future urban areas at the same time, a significant amount of future urban land
was proposed to be brought forward in the sequencing. Some of this land was brought
forward because it has been live zoned in the Unitary Plan. Other areas were brought
forward in the sequencing (e.g. Drury West Stage 1) because of their market readiness and
the ability of council to provide interim infrastructure solutions. Almost 50 per cent of the
future urban land identified in the strategy is proposed to be development ready within the
first decade (2018 2027).

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
16. The changes that were proposed to the sequencing of the large future urban areas are as
follows:
Item 10
a. areas brought forward in sequence:
Warkworth North
Wainui East
Silverdale (business)
Red Hills
Puhinui (part)
Wesley (Paerata)
Opaheke Drury
Drury West (Stage 1)
Drury South
b. areas put back in sequence:

Kumeu Huapai Riverhead
Whenuapai (Stage 2)
Drury West (Stage 2)
Puhinui (part)
Red Hills North
Warkworth North East
Takanini
17. The Unitary Plan also zoned approximately 1,700 hectares of land for future urban
development in rural settlements. This makes up approximately 11 per cent of the total
15,000 hectares of greenfield land zoned for urban development. Due to the collective scale
of these areas and the infrastructure required to service them, the rural settlements are
included in the strategy.
18. Further clarification of strategy content, particularly in relation to the monitoring and review
and structure planning sections of the strategy, was also proposed.
Public engagement process
19. On 7 March 2017, the Planning Committee resolved to:
Resolution number PLA/2017/16
a) approve the proposed changes to the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy as
summarised in Tables 1 and 2 of the agenda report for public engagement.
b) approve a targeted public engagement process for the Future Urban Land Supply
Strategy Refresh which focuses on existing stakeholders and interested parties and runs
from 29 March 2017 to 18 April 2017.
c) establish a deliberations panel consisting of up to six elected members, including a
member of the Independent Mori Statutory Board, to consider the engagement
feedback and make recommendations to the Planning Committee, being:
i) Planning Committee chairperson
ii) Cr D Newman
iii) Cr D Quax
iv) Cr W Walker
v) Cr L Cooper
vi) Independent Mori Statutory Board member, Liane Ngamane

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
d) delegate to the chairperson and deputy chairperson of the Planning Committee the
power to make additional or replacement appointments to the deliberations panel if
required.
Item 10
20. Public consultation on the refresh was undertaken from 29 March to 24 April 2017. A range
of mechanisms were used to publicise the consultation which included a media release, the
use of councils shapeauckland website and public notices in the New Zealand Herald as
well as relevant local newspapers.
21. Seven public drop-in sessions were held at:
Wellsford, Saturday 1 April
Albany, Saturday 1 April
Pukekohe, Tuesday 4 April
Kumeu, Saturday 8 April
Orewa, Saturday 8 April
Kumeu, Saturday 8 April
Papakura, Tuesday 12 April.
22. Council staff, and where possible, representatives from Auckland Transport and the New
Zealand Transport Agency, attended these sessions to answer questions from the public.
Information about the proposed changes to the strategy was also made available at the
sessions. The public were encouraged to provide their feedback via a feedback form, either
online through shapeauckland; by sending or handing in a hardcopy to library staff or a
freepost address; or via email to a special email box. Attendance at the sessions ranged
from approximately 12 people in Orewa through to 40 people in Papakura. A total of 175
people attended the seven sessions.
23. Individual meetings with council staff were requested by a number of landowners,
developers and consultants. A mana whenua hui was held on 19 April 2017, which was
attended by representatives of the following iwi: Te Aki Tai, Ngti Tamaoho, Ngati
Whanaunga, Te Patukirikiri, Te Runanga o Ngti Whtua, Te Uri o Hau, Ngti Whtua
rkei and Te Ahiwaru. A separate hui was also held with Te Aki Tai.
24. Local boards were invited to attend one of two cluster workshops on 20 February and 27
February 2017.
25. The majority of the feedback was collected through the shapeauckland web page, which
received 669 views.
Feedback summary
26. A total of 189 pieces of written feedback were received in the prescribed consultation period
(see Attachment E for a summary and analysis). Two pieces of feedback came after the
close of the public consultation period, but these were considered and accepted by the
Deliberations Panel. There were also three petitions received. Feedback was also received
from local boards and mana whenua (see Attachments D and F).
27. All feedback was considered by the deliberations panel at two meetings held on 15 and 22
May 2017.
28. The majority of written feedback was received from within the Rodney Local Board area (63
per cent), followed by the Franklin Local Board area (10 per cent).
29. Overall, there was strong support for the refreshed strategy with 54 per cent
agreeing/strongly agreeing with the strategy in principle as opposed to 29 per cent
disagreeing. Forty two per cent supported the revised sequencing and 36 per cent were
opposed to it.

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
30. Disagreement related mainly to the timing of the large future urban areas of Wainui East,
Pukekohe, Whenuapai (Stage 2), Opaheke-Drury, Warkworth North-East and Kumeu-
Huapai with the majority of feedback requesting that these areas be brought forward in the
sequencing. Some of the feedback relating to Opaheke-Drury included supporting technical
Item 10
information (e.g. transport, economics, ecology, geotech, water and wastewater, and urban
design). A number of feedback points requested that Wellsford to be brought forward in the
sequencing.
31. Three petitions were received from major stakeholders in Whenuapai (Stage 2), landowners
in Opaheke-Drury and landowners in Drury West (Stage 1).
32. Feedback was received from central government, Kiwi Rail and the New Zealand Defence
Force; private infrastructure providers, Spark and Counties Manukau. There was also a
significant amount of feedback received from developers.
33. Officers did receive feedback that was deemed to be out of scope of the strategy, including
requests to rezone land outside the Rural Urban Boundary. This feedback was therefore not
considered by the deliberations panel in its deliberations.
34. A summary of all feedback received, categorised by geographic area (north, north west and
south), as well as an overview of general feedback received on the strategy, is provided in
Attachment C. A summary of key pieces of feedback received, along with the deliberation
panels recommendations to the Planning Committee on this feedback, is provided in
Attachment B. The amended version of the strategy, incorporating the panels
recommended changes, is provided in Attachment A. The panels main recommended
changes to the strategy are provided below.
Summary of recommended changes to the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy
35. The deliberations panel has considered all of the feedback to the proposed sequencing
outlined in the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy Refresh consultation material (April 2017)
and recommends to the Planning Committee that the proposed sequencing be retained with
the exception of the following two changes:
that the Takanini future urban zone (592 hectares) move from Decade Three, first half
(2038 2042) to Decade Three, second half (2043 2047) with the added notation:
significant flooding and geotech constraints - further technical investigations required
that 56 hectares of future urban zone land in the vicinity of Cosgrave Road, Takanini
move forward to Decade One, second half (2023 2027).
36. Moving back the Takanini future urban area is recommended due to the significant flooding
and geotech challenges in that area that poses significant financial and infrastructure
construction risks for council. As a consequence, further technical investigations need to be
carried out to determine suitable and feasible infrastructure solutions prior to development.
37. The Cosgrave Road area is affected by local flooding but not affected by the floodplain
associated with the significant upstream Papakura Stream catchment as with the large
future urban area to the north (Takanini North). This area is therefore recommended to be
brought forward in the sequence as the local flooding issues at Cosgrave Road will be
managed by the Takanini Cascades stormwater channel and associated projects. It would
be advantageous to develop this land earlier to recoup stormwater costs that have already
been committed for the Takanini Cascades stormwater channel. This major stormwater
channel has been designed by Auckland Council to reduce flooding in the Special Housing
Areas approved in this area. It will be formed as a natural stream surrounded by public open
space and construction is planned for spring 2017.
38. Auckland Transport noted that there would be no impediments for the proposed Mill Road
realignment if this area were to be developed earlier but there would be a need to negotiate
earlier with the property owner to ensure the delivery of an appropriate arterial corridor.

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
39. To address a number of other issues raised in feedback, as well as to enhance existing
strategy content, the deliberations panel also recommend that text and maps be changed to:
Item 10
demonstrate how the strategy aligns with the intent of the National Policy Statement
on Urban Development Capacity
clarify how the strategy will be monitored and reported through the Auckland Plan
Development Strategys Annual Implementation Update
show how implementation will be measured against the timing outlined in the strategy,
especially the provision of bulk infrastructure
clarify bulk infrastructure estimated costs, noting that they are indicative only and
these will be addressed and refined through future Long-term Plans
clarify how future reviews of the strategy will link with monitoring the uptake of both
growth in the future urban area and the existing urban area
explain the structure plan and plan change processes, including how structure
planning will generally occur three years prior to the identified timeframe in the strategy
but noting where a larger area consists of varying timeframes (e.g. Warkworth, Drury
West/Opaheke-Drury) and would benefit from comprehensive planning, a structure
plan may be prepared for the whole area earlier than the normal three years prior
note that structure planning will confirm staging of areas and staging will be
implemented through plan changes
explain that the strategys sequencing criteria have not been applied to areas that are
sequenced between 2012 2017 as these were determined through separate Special
Housing Area and Unitary Plan processes
amend the Clevedon map to clarify the actual development potential for Clevedon and
to correct mapping errors
align maps and other information relating to land areas and anticipated capacities with
the Unitary Plan decisions
update the key sequencing considerations outlined in the strategy.
Consideration
40. This strategy has significant implications for local boards particularly Rodney, Upper
Harbour, Henderson-Massey, Papakura, Manurewa and Franklin Local Boards as they
contain areas of future urban land sequenced by the strategy.
41. Local boards were invited to attend one of two cluster workshops held 20 and 27 February
2017. Feedback was provided by local boards at both workshops and is summarised in
Attachment D.
42. In general, local board feedback supported the overall purpose and intent of the strategy.
43. The need for integrated and timely provision of all infrastructure types, including transport,
water and wastewater, community, social and public open space was raised frequently by
local boards.
44. Another issue that was commonly raised was the importance and urgency of undertaking
structure planning early on, and the need for this to happen prior to live zoning to ensure
these large areas are planned for holistically rather than in an ad hoc manner. The need for
adequate business land to balance residential supply was also a common theme.

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
45. Local Board feedback on specific future urban areas was also received.
46. In the north, feedback was received outlining support for the sequencing of growth in
Warkworth if the necessary provision of transport infrastructure could occur. Support was
Item 10
also received for Dairy Flat, Silverdale and Wainui sequencing to be included in the first or
second decades. Feedback that Penlink/Redvale interchange should be operational prior to
development was also received. There was also concern expressed that existing water and
wastewater issues in Wellsford need to be addressed immediately rather than in the longer-
term.
47. In the north-west, feedback included support for Kumeu-HuapaiRiverhead sequencing to
be spread over the next two to three decades and that transport improvements are needed
in this area now. There was also support expressed for the sequencing for Whenuapai
providing that bulk infrastructure is able to be provided in a timely manner.
48. Feedback from the local boards was provided to the deliberations panel for its consideration.
The responses to issues that were raised about the sequencing of various future urban
areas, and the infrastructure required to service these, is covered in Attachment B.

49. This strategy has implications for Mori and can contribute to Mori well-being and
development of Mori capacity. It is acknowledged that Mori have a special relationship
with Aucklands physical and cultural environment.
50. Post-Treaty settlement, Mori may be looking to invest settlement monies in long-term
investments and this may have a number of significant implications for infrastructure
planning. Mori also have the potential to be significant urban landowners, looking to
actively participate in urban development and promoting specific outcomes for Auckland, the
environment and for Mori. This would be achieved through partnerships, investments and
greater involvement in decision-making. Council has engaged with mana whenua on
planning for Aucklands future urban zones since 2012 with the development of the Rural
Urban Boundary as part of the Auckland Unitary Plan.
51. During the development of the existing strategy in 2015, ongoing liaison occurred with Te
Waka Angamua and a hui was held. Engagement also took place with mana whenua on the
future urban zones as part of the Supporting Growth transport project in 2016. Through this
process, iwi were interested to understand the implications of the transport network options
on further development in the areas, as well as ensuring specific local concerns be
considered. A mana whenua values framework was developed to carry through to the next
phase of the project which has now commenced.
52. Mana whenua were invited to attend a hui held on 19 April 2017 to discuss the proposed
changes to the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy. At this hui, mana whenua noted
concern that development was taking place without structure plans in live zoned areas and
that private plan changes were leading to incremental development rather than being
planned holistically. There was also concern regarding the environmental impacts of
development and the need for effective monitoring. They also noted that future investment in
infrastructure must be linked to intensification.
53. In a separate hui, Te Aki Tai queried how the principles from the current strategy had been
applied and used in developing the refreshed sequence particularly in relation to the areas
sequenced for 2017. They requested that the refreshed strategy be transparent about this,
in particular where areas have been not been assessed against the principles and subject to
separate processes (e.g. additional live zoned areas from Unitary Plan). In order to address
this feedback the panel proposes to add a note in the principles section that the principles
were not applied to the areas prioritised between 2012 and 2017 as these priorities were
determined through separate processes. A summary of mana whenua feedback is provided
in Attachment F.

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
Implementation
54. A monitoring programme is an integral and important part of implementing the strategy and
making it responsive to changes in the future, ensuring that the proposed sequencing
Item 10
remains relevant and effective and responds to change. Monitoring will be reported annually
as part of the Auckland Plan Development Strategy Annual Monitoring Report and will cover
a comprehensive set of key indicators, including measures of the development capacity
(dwellings and business land) of both existing urban land and future urban land across
Auckland. A future urban snapshot will be prepared reporting on progress for each of the
future urban areas identified in the strategy. The monitoring programme may potentially
trigger refreshes of the strategy in the future as information is collected on the actual market
uptake of future urban land.
55. Further detailed planning for large areas of future urban land will occur at the structure
planning stage prior to live zoning and provision of bulk infrastructure. The first structure
plan has now been completed for Whenuapai and plan changes are currently being
prepared to enable the first stage of development.
56. As part of the ongoing implementation of the strategy, the council and infrastructure
providers will work together to ensure land use and infrastructure planning is aligned. The
infrastructure required to deliver the strategy is not entirely funded through the current Long-
term Plan. The 2018 Long-term Plan will need to consider prioritisation of bulk infrastructure
projects to enable development of these areas and how these will be funded and/or
financed. The sequencing confirmed in the strategy may need to be amended as a result of
Long-term Plan funding decisions.

Plans and Places Department - Statutory Work Programme 2017-2020

File No.: CP2017/11083
Item 11
Purpose
1. To provide the Planning Committee (the Committee) with an overview of the Plans and
Places Departments statutory programme of work, for the period of 2017 to 2020.
Executive summary
2. This report provides an overview of the statutory programme of work for the Plans and
Places Department over the next three years. This programme of work is projects that
include a statutory component, such as the Auckland Unitary Plan (the Unitary Plan)
appeals, plan changes, notices of requirement and central government directives.
3. Although significant progress has been made on the appeals to the Unitary Plan, this will still
remain a significant part of the programme of work for the 2017/2018 period.
4. The programme of work includes several council initiated plan changes, which will translate
structure planning outcomes into the Unitary Plan, or will seek to enhance the effectiveness
of the Unitary Plan.
5. Since the Unitary Plan became operative, the council has received an increasing number of
private plan change enquiries and requests. To manage these, the Committee, at its March
2017 meeting, endorsed a set of criteria to access the merits of private plan change
requests. Following the assessment, officers, under delegation, can reject private plan
change requests. However, accepted or adopted private plan change requests will be
reported through to the Committee.
6. Another part of the statutory programme of work are the Notices of Requirements (NORs).
A significant number of NORs are anticipated over the next three years. Many of these
involve designations for infrastructure, to respond to Aucklands growth. The Committee will
be updated on significant NORs and overall numbers received.
7. Other parts of the statutory programme of work include:
input into central government initiatives that have an impact on council e.g. National
Environmental Standards and National Planning Standards
the monitoring framework for the Unitary Plan
the ongoing review of the Unitary Plan.
8. Appropriate approval from the Committee will be sought, or the Committee will be updated
on these aspects of the statutory programme of work.
Recommendation/s
a) approve the Plans and Places Departments statutory programme of work for the
period 2017 to 2020 (Attachment A to the agenda report).

Background
Item 11
9. On 15 November 2016, the Auckland Unitary Plan (the Unitary Plan) became operative in
part. Since then, the four units that make up the Plans and Places Department (i.e. Heritage,
Auckland-wide, Central/South and North/West), have shifted focus onto the maintenance,
monitoring and review of the Unitary Plan.
10. The statutory programme of work is currently focused on:
settling the remaining Unitary Plan appeals
investigating and processing council- initiated and private plan changes to the Unitary
Plan
processing notice of requirements (NORs)
input to central government direction (i.e. National Environmental Standards or
legislative changes)
setting up the monitoring framework for the Unitary Plan
an ongoing review of the Unitary Plan.
11. The purpose of this report is to update the Planning Committee (the Committee) on the
statutory aspects of the work programme of the Plans and Places Department for the period
2017 to 2020.
12. It is intended that staff will update the Committee on changes to and progress on, the
statutory programme of work on a six monthly basis.
Statutory programme of work

Unitary Plan Appeals
13. Significant progress has been made on resolving the 108 High Court and Environment Court
appeals to the Unitary Plan. Of the 108, almost half (n=51) have either been withdrawn or
resolved.
14. Table 1 below summarises the significant appeals that are proceeding to a hearing.

Council initiated plan changes

16. Section 80 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (the Act) enables local authorities to
amend a combined regional and district document, in accordance with Schedule 1 of the
Act.
17. Since the Unitary Plan became operative in part, staff within the Plans and Places
Department identified potential council-initiated plan changes. In March 2017, the
Committee approved the preparation of the following council initiated plan changes:
Administrative Plan Change to Unitary Plan
Notable Tree Schedule Corrections Plan Change
Sites of Significance to mana whenua
Whenuapai Structure Plan Change.
18. Staff are currently investigating other potential council-initiated plan changes, as outlined in
Attachment A. The decision to proceed with a plan change and the decision to notify a plan
change, sits with the Planning Committee.
Private plan changes

19. Under Section 73 (2) of the Act, any person may request a territorial authority to change a
district plan, in accordance with Schedule 1 of the Act.
20. Since the Unitary Plan became operative, staff have been involved in discussions on a
number of potential private plan change requests.
21. To effectively respond to private plan change requests, staff developed criteria that aligns
with Section 25 of Schedule 1 of the Act. The criteria helps staff determine whether to adopt
or accept the request; to convert it to a resource consent, or to reject the plan change
request. The Committee endorsed these criteria at its March 2017 business meeting.
22. Following an assessment of a private plan change, staff may reject a private plan change
under delegated authority, but the decision to proceed (i.e. accept or adopt) with a plan
change, sits with the Planning Committee.
23. Private plan changes can be received at any time which adds to unpredictability for work for
programme planning. Staff have reported a notable increase in the volume of private plan
change meeting requests, following the Unitary Plan becoming operative.
24. The statutory programme of work in Attachment A provides the number of potential and
lodged private plan changes as at June 2017.
Planning Committee
04 July 2017
Notice of requirements (NOR)

25. NOR for designations is another component of the statutory programme of work. Section
168 of the Act enables a requiring authority to lodge an NOR for a designation.
Item 11
26. A notice of requirement programme is a collection of discrete notices under a wider

programme of work (e.g. the Central Rail Link NOR Programme).
27. A notice of requirement can be lodged with local councils at any time, which contributes to
unpredictability for work programme planning.
28. Transport and infrastructure notice of requirements to support Aucklands growth are
signalled within the following long-term asset planning strategies:
Supporting Growth- Delivering Transport Networks (led by council, Auckland Transport
and New Zealand Transport Agency)
Future Urban Land Supply Strategy (led by council).
29. These strategies contain notice of requirement programmes that seek to support the
development of Future Urban Zones and other areas. It will add to the volume of NOR in the
statutory programme of work.
30. Attachment A outlines the notices of requirement in the statutory programme of work as of
June 2017.
Central Government Direction

31. This aspect of the programme of work includes responding to central government initiatives
and directions, such as submissions on discussion documents and bills; or where council
has a statutory obligation to respond (e.g. National Environmental Standards).
32. Attachment A outlines the key central government-driven projects that have immediate
impact on the statutory programme of work.
Monitoring of the Auckland Unitary Plan

33. In accordance with Section 35 of the Act, council is required to monitor the Unitary Plan.
Council is required to monitor
the state of the environment (s35(2a))
the efficiency and effectiveness of policies, rules or other methods in its policy
statements or plans (s35(2b))
the exercise of any transfer of powers and delegations (s35(2c))
the effectiveness and efficiency of the processes used by council (s35(2ca))
the exercise of resource consent (s35(2d))
the exercise of a protected customary right, including any controls (s35(2e)).
34. Monitoring the effectiveness and efficiency of the policies, rules and other methods, also
allows council to be proactive in determining if the Unitary Plan is effective in practice, if
Auckland is meeting its anticipated environmental results; and what, if any, changes need to
be made to the Unitary Plan.
35. At present, the monitoring framework for the Unitary Plan is being developed. The
monitoring framework currently focuses on:
identifying the indicators for assessing the outcomes in the Unitary Plan
determining the nature and extent of data required for monitoring the Unitary Plan
co-ordinating this data gathering across council departments.
36. These actions will inform the review of the Unitary Plan.
Planning Committee
04 July 2017
37. The Act also stipulates that the results of this monitoring must be publicly available at
intervals of not more than five years (s35(2A)).
Ongoing review of the Auckland Unitary Plan
Item 11
38. In accordance with Section 79 of the Act, council is required to review the Unitary Plan. The
review must:
be commenced within ten years if the provision has not been the subject of a proposed
policy statement or plan, a review, or a change by the local authority,
if a review is deemed appropriate, it must be conducted in accordance with process set
out in Schedule 1 of the Act.
39. A territorial authority can conduct a review of its district plan at any time, so long as all
sections of the plan are reviewed before its statutory deadline of ten years.
40. This provides council with two options to review the Unitary Plan, that is:
to review the Unitary Plan in one full review, by 2026 (known as the Full Review)
to plan a rolling review of discrete sections of the Unitary Plan (known as Rolling
Review).
41. There will be ongoing plan changes during the next 10 years to improve the Unitary Plan, to
respond to new issues and as a result of private plan changes.
42. The issue is whether in 10 years time a full review is undertaken. Such reviews are often
warranted to address or change the plans structure and ensure there is good alignment
from the Regional Policy Statement down to the District Plan and across the plan. A key
consideration as to whether a full review is undertaken will be the implementation of the
national Planning Standards which are currently in the discussion phase.
43. This matter will be reported to the Planning Committee for full consideration at a later date.
Consideration
44. Each project in the statutory programme of work will include local board engagement. Any
significant plan changes at the Auckland-wide level will be discussed with local boards prior
to its presentation to the Committee for endorsement.

45. Each project in the statutory programme of work will include an assessment of impact on
Mori and specific engagement requirements.
46. In addition, council is looking at how best to establish Mana Whakahono a Rohe Iwi
Participation Agreements with each of the Auckland Regions iwi; this is a new provision
under the Resource Legislation Amendment Act 2017. These will apply to projects in the
statutory programme of work.
Implementation
47. The budget for the statutory programme of work will be covered by existing budgets.

Unlock Old Papatoetoe High Level Project Plan

File No.: CP2017/11622
Item 13
Purpose
1. To outline the content and seek Planning Committee adoption of the High Level Project Plan
(HLPP) for Old Papatoetoe and its surrounds known as Unlock Old Papatoetoe. Approval of
the HLPP will provide the mandate to progress with detailed communications/engagement
and the development realisation processes.
Executive summary
2. The HLPP seeks to unlock the considerable potential of Old Papatoetoe. It is the central
project initiation document used to undertake a strategic analysis and develop specific goals,
key strategic moves and project initiatives. A copy of the HLPP is attached. The Panuku
objective of the HLPP is to initiate and ultimately achieve urban renewal and housing
development within the area. The document also sets out the decisions and further actions
required to implement the plan.
3. Old Papatoetoe represents an opportunity to provide for housing development at scale
within a suburban town centre environment. Council owns 8.4 ha of land in the town centre.
The transport links, local amenity, zoning, local board, mana whenua and community all
support development in this location. It is expected that the desirability of Old Papatoetoe as
a place to live and invest will continue to grow as the plan is implemented.
4. The revitalisation of the town centre has already commenced with the council owned
Papatoetoe Mall redevelopment now under construction. Council will begin work on the
planned upgrade of the Wallace Road council carpark shortly and Foodstuffs have obtained
resource consents and building consents for the renovation of the New World supermarket.
These projects will have an immediate benefit significantly improving the appearance and
amenities of the town centre.
5. The Council is also progressing development of the council owned Tavern Lane site (1 ha)
for medium density residential housing. Development on this site will strongly support the
proposed future development of other council owned sites such as the Depot (91 Cambridge
Terrace 4080m2), The Bowling Green (Part 27 St George Street approx. 5500m2), 17 St
George (454m2) and the Library Precinct (107 and 109 St George Street).
6. Within the HLPP area 120-200+ housing units are proposed. The actual number of dwellings
will depend on final design, typology and market demand. Development of these sites for
housing would increase amenity, vibrancy, safety, connectivity and economic sustainability
of the town centre and demonstrate that quality development in this type of location can be
achieved.
7. The legacy Manukau City Council had previously approved the disposal of a number of
Council properties in Old Papatoetoe including the Tavern Lane site, The Depot and part of
the Bowling Green site to enable development. This HLPP looks to update strategic direction
and requests further shareholder approval to dispose of additional properties including 17 St
George Street, the remaining part of the Bowling Green site and 107 and 109 St George
Street which were not included in the earlier council resolution. The Bowling Green site
contains old bowling greens, associated clubrooms and disused netball courts. This site has
been identified for residential development in previous masterplans but is currently still
vested as a reserve. Through this HLPP we are seeking approval in principle for Panuku to
seek the reserve revocation.
8. There has been engagement with the taraPapatoetoe Local Board, Mana whenua,
Business Association, Auckland Transport, Council Facilities and community leaseholders in
the preparation of this HLPP.
Unlock Old Papatoetoe High Level Project Plan Page 157

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
Recommendation/s
Item 13
a) adopt the Unlock Old Papatoetoe High Level Project Plan (Attachment A to the
agenda report).
b) endorse the Panuku role to actively collaborate with the wider council group and its
controlled organisations integrating planned activities in order to align projects and
implementation to achieve the outcomes detailed in the High Level Project Plan.
c) endorse Panuku to dispose of the Auckland Council owned properties listed below
and referenced in the HLPP, with the objective of achieving urban renewal and
housing:
i) 17 St George Street, Papatoetoe (Lot 1 DP 189165 NA118D/993)
ii) Part 27 St George Street, Papatoetoe -disused netball courts (Pt Lot 31 DP
7551, NA321/269)
iii) 107 St George Street, Papatoetoe (Lot 5 DP 50563 NA10D/666 and
NA2065/73)
iv) 109 St George Street, Papatoetoe (CT NA191/224)
subject to the satisfactory conclusion of the required statutory processes.
d) note that the Finance and Performance Committee will need to approve the
disposal of the properties above and as referenced in the High Level Project Plan.
e) authorise Panuku to initiate the process to revoke the reserve status of the old
bowling green and netball court site (Part 27 St George Street, Pt Lot 31 DP 7551,
NA321/269) to enable its future development.
Comments
9. Old Papatoetoe represents an opportunity to provide for housing development at scale
within a town centre environment. Council owns 8.4 ha of land in the town centre, much of
which could be utilised for development. It was chosen as an Unlock location due to a
number of key attributes;
Significant regeneration opportunities within the town centre associated with large areas
of underutilised land in council ownership.
A high level of local board planning and political and community support for change in
the area.
A strategic town centre location, with good infrastructure, services and facilities and
access to public transport.
A town centre with positive attributes including its mainstreet and character buildings.
A number of projects are currently planned in the area including the Old Papatoetoe
Mall, an upgrade to the supermarket and town centre car park and a proposal to enable
medium density residential development in Tavern Lane.
A growing level of market attractiveness for residential development, with some evidence
of market demand for different housing types (terrace, low rise apartments).

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
Goals
10. tara-Papatoetoe Local Board Plan
Project goals are based on the outcomes detailed in the O
2014 and previous planning work undertaken in the area. They are to be achieved through
Item 13
the strategic moves and subsequent project initiatives.
1: Town Centre vitality
2: A step change in housing
3: Improve connections to and within the town centre
4: Look for opportunities to provide for collaborative partnerships with mana whenua
5: Demonstrate leadership in sustainable development
Key strategic moves

11. These strategic moves focus on enhancing the existing place-characteristics of Old
Papatoetoe and unlocking its potential. The moves look towards invigorating the centre as a
place for people and enterprise to thrive as well as enabling quality development to
contribute towards the intensification of Papatoetoe.
Strategic Move 1 Quality Urban Form
12. Good well connected streets and public spaces are important for facilitating public life. They
provide a place for people to meet, interact and connect activities/business between
buildings. The identified development sites have the potential to enable improvements to
urban form. These improvements should be guided by the Urban Layout Plan to ensure a
co-ordinated development form.
Strategic Move 2 A Humming Mainstreet
13. St George Street is the focal point of Old Papatoetoe town centre. It features a number of
heritage buildings, however there is evidence of decline in the centre. A number of
opportunities to enable a humming mainstreet have been identified. Primarily this activation
will be through the development of quality commercial development and by population
growth in the catchment.
14. A number of specific commercial projects are proposed for St George Street including;
Old Papatoetoe Mall and Town Square: This Panuku project which is now under
construction aims to refresh, modernise and enliven the Old Papatoetoe centre and
make it safer and easier to get around.
Supermarket and Carpark Upgrade: The site of the New World supermarket and an
area for expansion has been formally subdivided by Panuku and sold to Foodstuffs
which is planning to start work shortly.
Renovation of 35 St George Street: 35 St George Street contains the old council
chambers and council offices. There is an opportunity to create a community hub in this
location. Currently the space is in need of renovation and is significantly underutilised.
Redevelopment of 17 St George Street: This is a vacant and currently unlettable
commercial building in council ownership. Leaving this building vacant on St George
Street in the long term with not contribute positively to the vitality of Old Papatoetoe.
Mandate to dispose of this building is sought through this HLPP in order to facilitate the
renovation or redevelopment of the site and enable opportunities to combine
development of this site with the development of the Tavern Lane if this was strategically
beneficial for the development.

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
Strategic Move 3 Stimulate Local Economic Development and Instil Local Pride
Item 13
15. Attracting and retaining people, business and activity is key for any successful centre. Local
investment and activities relevant for local people are essential for ensuring the centre
meets the needs of those that live there and reflects the culture, identity and range of
services required.
16. As we bring sites to the market we will continue to work with the Local Board, Community
Facilities and others to identify opportunities to enhance facilities and services. It is also
important to recognise and accommodate where possible the community value of the
various small local groups that occupy space within Old Papatoetoe such as the learning
gardens, historical, and genealogy society. There may also be an opportunity for the
clustering, re-provision of community facilities and/or creation of flexible/shared community
space that can act as a catalyst for changing/improving perceptions of Old Papatoetoe as a
place to visit, play, live and invest. We also propose to work with key stakeholders including
The Southern Initiative to maximise the community benefits that can be achieved through
place activation etc.
Strategic Move 4 Housing Development Programme
17. A key part of the regeneration approach for Old Papatoetoe is the creation of a new resident
population within the town centre to help meet the needs of a growing city and sustain retail,
hospitality, community facilities & services and improved public transport.
18. Council owns a significant share of the land within the HLPP area and has the potential to
transform an area of the town centre and create additional housing in Old Papatoetoe. This
could also provide an opportunity to showcase how residential intensification in a suburban
context can enhance an existing community and achieve sustainable design targets. Homes
for all ages and abilities should be created.
19. Four residential development initiatives have been identified. These are Tavern Lane, The
Depot, The Bowling Green, 17 St George Street and the Library Precinct (shown on the plan
included as Attachment A).
Tavern Lane Residential Development: The development team are actively working with
a number of potential development partners to enable a viable quality development on
this property. This 1 ha council-owned site currently formed as carparking has been
cleared for disposal.
The Depot: The Depot site, at 91 Cambridge Terrace, Papatoetoe has an area of
4080m2 and contains a single storey warehouse structure. It is currently occupied by six
community groups on month to month lease terms. The property has a Terraced
Housing and Apartment Buildings Zone under the Unitary Plan which allows for 16m or 5
storey high apartment development and has been cleared for disposal by Auckland
Council
The Bowling Green: This site currently contains two old bowling greens, an associated
bowling club building, two disused netball courts and a relocatable building owned by the
netball club. The site is being used as a council run teaching garden while a new use for
the land is finalised. This site is currently part of a park and has an open space zoning,
but has been identified for some time as having potential for residential development.
The HLPP seeks to enable the disposal of the disused netball court to enable an overall
development site of approximately 5500m2. Authority to dispose of the balance of the
site was granted in October 2009. To facilitate development on this site the reserve
status of the land would need to be revoked or re-purposed and a plan change or non-
complying resource consent would be required. A mandate to sell or transfer the site is
being sought through the HLPP.

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
The Library Precinct: This block contains the Papatoetoe Library, a Returned Services
Association, a park (Burnside Park) and a large underutilised carpark. Auckland
Transport has not designated the carpark and has transferred the relevant sites to
Panuku. The carpark has a Terraced Housing and Apartment Building zoning under the
Item 13
Unitary Plan, which allows for 16m or 5 storey high apartment development. Panuku will
seek to work collaboratively with all parties and look for mutually beneficial development
outcomes.
Consideration
Planning Committee workshop
20. The Unlock Old Papatoetoe HLPP was presented to the Planning Committee in a workshop
on 30 May. There was general support for the plan from those that attended.
21. While acknowledging that the Tavern Lane had geotechnical constraints there was a clear
direction from the workshop for Panuku to seek development outcomes that achieved a level
of density appropriate to its town centre location. In particular there was an indication that a
predominance of two storey development form would be disappointing. Panuku has noted
this feedback.
22. There was also a query relating to 98 St George Street and 15 Kolmar Road which are two
Council Owned properties purchased for Auckland Transport to enable an intersection
upgrade. The project was initially in the 2012-15 Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) as a
4-10 year project and indicatively costed at $2.8 million. This proposal was subsequently
dropped out of the current 2015-2018 RLTP due to the project not attracting NZTA funding
and the cost of relocating underground services. Auckland Transport has again advised that
it wishes to hold its interest in these properties for the foreseeable future, but that it may
reconsider its position should funding not be secured in the next RLTP/Long Term Plan.

23. The Otara-Papatoetoe local board has had an important role in the preparation of this plan.
At a meeting on the 30th May the detail of the HLPP project plan was presented to the
board. Two key areas of feedback were identified.
24. Firstly, whether 17 St George Street could be repurposed as a community facility if it was not
incorporated into the adjoining Tavern Lane development. It is noted that while approval is
sought for the disposal of this site, the purpose of this is to enable the ability to negotiate
with the preferred developer of the Tavern Lane site. The decision as to whether to refurbish
or sell the site has not yet been made. It is not considered that there is anything in this plan
that would preclude such an outcome if a more detailed business case determined a
community requirement for this space, that this was an efficient way of providing for this type
of activity, and funding was provided.
25. Secondly, the local board questioned why we were not seeking re-investment of the sale of
proceeds of properties sold within the Old Papatoetoe HLPP Area. The council has
approved the re-investment of the proceeds of sale for our transform locations but not so far
for unlock locations. In other priority areas the funding of Panuku activities will be considered
by Council during the Long Term Plan process and reinvestment will be part of the Panuku
case in some unlock locations.

Planning Committee
04 July 2017

Item 13
26. Mana whenua seek to play an integrated cultural, social and economic part in the
unlocking of Old Papatoetoe. Engagement with Mana whenua through the Panuku Mana
whenua forum and The Unlock Old Papatoetoe Mana whenua project working group has
contributed to defining the overall approach and has resulted in a supported narrative of the
project by Mana whenua. This was informed by the preparation and development of a
project charter between Panuku and Mana whenua which has helped to set expectations
and streamline engagement. The Mana whenua forum endorsed the project and its vision
and cultural narrative on 20 February as part of the HLPP process.
27. Engagement with Mana whenua has identified specific issues and opportunities to enable
kaitiaki views and manaakitanga actions. We have incorporated these through the principles,
narrative, goals, strategic moves and supporting project actions and initiatives in this HLPP.
Opportunities for mana whenua may extend to joint ventures, land purchase and
development.
28. The 12 Tmaki Makaurau Mana whenua iwi and hap listed below have interests in the
broader Old Papatoetoe area. Panuku will endeavour to work in partnership with these
iwi/hap towards best care for land, water and people throughout planning and
implementation of land development in Old Papatoetoe.

Implementation
29. While Old Papatoetoe is emerging as an attractive location for new development the height
and building form determined by the Unitary Plan particularly in the Town Centre (8 stories)
is unlikely to be commercially feasible. In addition there is challenging ground conditions and
a high level of risk associated with the current price point that can be achieved for
development. The response to the development of sites looks at achieving a quality medium
density outcome rather than being focussed solely on yield or density. This will include how
sustainability issues can be actively addressed in any development.
30. Encouraging a wider group of investment partners outside the existing group of suburban
residential developers and in particular enabling opportunities for Iwi economic development
should be fully explored. Alternative approaches and models for development which include
contribution of land where this enables additional value creation will be explored. Where
appropriate Panuku should look to partner with central government agencies such as
Housing New Zealand or the Ministry for Social Development to unlock the potential of Old
Papatoetoe.

Planning Committee
04 July 2017
Commercial value creation

31. A desktop assessment of the baseline existing value has been undertaken for 4 properties,
service and non-service, at an estimated value of $20.2 $23.0 million.
Item 13
32. The HLPP contains project initiatives to enable the roll out of the Housing Development
Programme for Old Papatoetoe. An indicative programme is set out below, this will be
clarified through additional design and due diligence work. The programme will be subject to
market interest and participation.

Funding and budgets

33. In order for Unlock Old Papatoetoe to progress the projects and initiatives, this will require
operational funding utilising the Panuku Development Fund for the non-recoverable projects
and initiatives, noting that some of the operational budget is directly attributable to a
development site and is recoverable from sale proceeds.
