Auckland Plan refresh: Report on targeted engagement Page 9

Planning Committee
07 November 2017
10. The first phase of engagement with communities of Auckland, partners and stakeholders
occurred during May and June 2017. A report summarising feedback from this engagement
was submitted to the 1 August 2017 Planning Committee meeting (PLA/ 2017/13025). That
feedback served as early input into the direction of the draft plan.
Item 9

summary information on each outcome area, and a proposed set of strategic directions and
focus areas for each of the six outcome areas together with summary information, once this
had been developed.
13. Engagement with partners and stakeholders occurred via workshops, meetings, hui and
written correspondence. A list of the partners and stakeholders engaged is shown in
Attachment A. Stakeholders that were engaged in this phase but not engaged during the
early phase in May and June are highlighted.
14. Just over 2600 items of feedback were received by the time this report was compiled. This

21. Formal resolutions provided by local boards were presented to the Planning Committee on
1 August 2017 (CP2017/14323) and 10 October 2017 (CP2017/20343).
22. For completeness this report includes all local board feedback.
Mori impact statement

23. The Auckland Plan and its contribution to Mori well-being will be of interest to Mori. The
plan sets a comprehensive long-term strategy for Aucklands growth and development.

Planning Committee
07 November 2017
24. Mori Identity and Wellbeing is one of the six outcomes of the draft refreshed Auckland Plan.
The outcome focusses on advancing Mori well-being; promoting Mori success, innovation
and enterprise; recognising and providing for Te Tiriti o Waitangi outcomes; and showcasing
Aucklands Mori identity and culture. In addition, matters of direct relevance to Mori are
Item 9
identified and appear throughout the plan, such as housing for example.
25. Engagement with mana whenua commenced in March 2017. There have been six hui held
over the course of the year, focussing on key challenges and opportunities facing Auckland,
and how the plan, including the Development Strategy, can best address these.
26. The feedback from this round of mana whenua engagement included the need for the plan
to protect and advance the social, economic and cultural well-being of iwi, and the need for
the plan to uphold the Treaty partnership. Other feedback included the need to protect
mana whenua cultural sites and places, harbours and productive soils, and the need to plan
for infrastructure to uplift and drive Mori values.
27. There has been engagement with mataawaka. This was based on engaging with Mori
organisations, which in turn used their networks to provide informed feedback. Engagement
with mataawaka organisations continues.
28. The feedback from this round of mataawaka engagement included the aims of the network
of public health agencies to work towards equity in Mori well-being in the urban context,
and the importance of Auckland Councils role and leverage in public health policy, planning
and regulation that impacts on this. Other feedback included the need for dwellings that are
healthy and that can cater for multi-generational needs.
29. The feedback received continues to be considered in the development and finalisation of the
narrative and other supporting material of the draft refreshed Auckland Plan.
30. The Independent Mori Statutory Board has provided formal feedback on early drafts of the
proposed Auckland Plan. This feedback is being considered as the plan is finalised and a
response will be provided.

Digital Auckland Plan and approval of draft content

File No.: CP2017/22112
Item 10
Purpose
1. To approve phase one draft content of the Auckland Plan, so that the digital plan can be built
and delivered in time for public consultation starting 28 February 2018.
Executive summary
2. At its 28 March 2017 meeting the Planning Committee made initial decisions on the scope of
the Auckland Plan refresh.
3. The direction to staff was to develop a streamlined, spatial plan and to undertake targeted
pre-engagement with stakeholders.
4. The decision was also made that the new Auckland Plan would be a digital plan.
5. Since then staff have workshopped all aspects of the Auckland Plan refresh with the
Planning Committee and local board representatives.
6. During September and October 2017, digital prototypes were developed to show elected
members what a digital Auckland Plan will look like, and to assist with user testing and other
technical testing, before the full build of the digital plan begins.
7. The Planning Committee workshop on 30 October 2017 provided elected members with the
opportunity to discuss some phase one draft content. The workshop also included a quick
tour of a digital prototype so that elected members could see and understand the initial
design, structure and usability of the digital plan.
8. To make sure the draft Auckland Plan is ready for formal public consultation which starts on
28 February 2018, building of the full digital plan must start now (Attachment A sets out the
digital plan build timeline).
9. To support this, some phase one draft content of the plan is presented to the committee
today for review and approval (Attachment B).
10. Phase one draft content includes the Transport and Access and Belonging and Participation
outcomes, together with some supporting information.
11. Remaining draft content (phase two) will be presented to the Planning Committee at its 28
November 2017 meeting for review and approval, and to the Governing Body on 14
December 2017.
12. Public consultation, which runs from 28 February 2018 to 28 March 2018, will inform both
the final content of the Auckland Plan and any final digital design, web and mobile technical
requirements or user specifications.
Recommendation/s
a) approve Auckland Plan phase one draft content for the Transport and Access, and
Belonging and Participation outcomes as shown in Attachment B of the agenda
report.
b) note the building of the digital Auckland Plan will start in November to ensure it is
ready for public consultation commencing 28 February 2018.
c) delegate authority to the Chair of the Planning Committee, the Deputy Mayor, the
Chair of Environment and Community Committee and the Chair of Finance and
Performance Committee, to review and approve any changes to the draft Auckland
Plan for consultation which are required as a result of feedback from this meeting or
the 28 November 2017 Planning Committee meeting.
Digital Auckland Plan and approval of draft content Page 51

Planning Committee

Comments
Item 10
Context
13. Auckland Council is legislatively required to develop a spatial plan for Auckland and, as a
plan for Auckland, must involve stakeholders and partners in its preparation.
14. The first Auckland Plan, adopted in 2012, made a commitment to review the plan after six
years. This decision recognised that whilst the Auckland Plan had a 30-year horizon, rapid
change and growth in Auckland was likely to result in new challenges and opportunities,
which would need to be reflected.
15. It was agreed by the Planning Committee on 28 March 2017 that the scope of the Auckland
Plan refresh would encompass the delivery of a streamlined spatial plan and that the new
Auckland Plan would be a digital plan.
16. There have been significant changes across Auckland since 2012, including population
change and growth, greater environmental pressures, and increasing levels of deprivation.
During this period the current Auckland Plan provided direction in some significant areas,
such as setting the growth model for Auckland, which in turn provided direction to the
Unitary Plan. The Auckland Plan also built the strategic case and momentum for the City
Rail Link.
17. In addition, over the last six years lessons have been learned from implementing the current
Auckland Plan. This includes what works well, such as the high level direction it provides on
Aucklands growth, and what could be more effective, e.g. a simpler and more accessible
structure and the ability to update the plan in real time.
18. A digital Auckland Plan will address some of these limitations, by enabling a more flexible
and responsive plan. For example, when new 2018 census data becomes available in early
2019 the digital Auckland Plan can be updated to include the most current data.
19. The refreshed Auckland Plan has been developed in consultation with elected members and
key stakeholders. As a result, the new Plan includes:
context information that outlines what the Auckland Plan is, Aucklands role in New
Zealand, and the Treaty of Waitangi in relation to Auckland.
six outcomes that integrate social, economic, environmental and cultural objectives to set
a 30 year strategic direction for Auckland;
- Belonging and Participation (people)
- Transport and Access (transport)
- Homes and Places (housing)
- Environment and Cultural Heritage (environment)
- Mori Identity and Wellbeing (Mori)
- Opportunity and Prosperity (economy, education, skills and jobs)
a high-level Development Strategy that sets out how Auckland will grow and develop over
the next 30 years. The new development strategy also includes development capacities
and the sequencing of development in response to the legislative requirements of the
National Policy Statement on Urban Development.
implementation approach
measures.
20. All of the key elements of the Auckland Plan, including directions and focus areas, the
development strategy, measures and implementation, have been workshopped with the
Planning Committee and local board representatives between February and October 2017.

Planning Committee
07 November 2017
21. During 2017, there has also been engagement with central government, mana whenua and
mataawaaka, infrastructure providers and business and community partners to inform the
development of the plan.
Item 10
Prototype digital Auckland Plan
22. During September and October 2017, prototypes were developed to craft the visual design,
determine technical specifications and carry out user testing for the digital Auckland Plan.
23. The Auckland Plan mihi is included at the start of the homepage. This recognises the
significance of the gift of the mihi to Auckland, and also provides an important welcome to
people as they first enter the digital plan.
24. Key design elements from the existing Auckland Plan, such as the journey lines and the
Auckland Plan logo have been incorporated into the digital plan, creating continuity between
the plans. This reflects that the Auckland Plan is a plan for all Auckland, not simply an
Auckland Council plan, and acknowledges the contribution made by the many Aucklanders
and organisations to the first Auckland Plan.
25. The initial prototype was used for a short period of user testing in mid-October to inform
digital plan specifications and the second prototype.
26. The second prototype was presented and workshopped with the Planning Committee and
local board representatives on 30 October 2017.
Phase one draft Auckland Plan content

27. To make sure the digital plan is ready for consultation from 28 February 2018, staff must
start building the full digital plan website. A detailed timeline of the digital plan build
programme is provided as Attachment A.
28. The structure of the digital Auckland Plan, number of digital pages and layers, and links
between content is determined by the draft content of the plan, including maps and graphics.
Unlike a printed plan this information is required well in advance to inform the structure,
technical requirements and coding of the digital plan.
29. To enable the build of the digital plan for consultation, some phase one draft content is
presented to the committee today in printed format for review and approval (Attachment B).
30. Phase one draft content includes information for the Transport and Access and Belonging
and Participation outcomes, together with supporting information. The content reflects all
stakeholder engagement to date.
Consideration
31. Local boards play an important role in relation to the content of the Auckland Plan as co-
governors of Auckland Council, and by communicating local views to the Governing Body,
providing input into regional strategies, policies, and plans.
32. Local board views have been sought throughout the preparation and development of the
digital Auckland Plan.
33. Reports were presented to the 1 August and 10 October 2017 Planning Committee meetings
outlining local board feedback and views.

Planning Committee
07 November 2017

34. The Auckland Plan and its contribution to Mori well-being will be of interest to Mori. The
plan sets a comprehensive long-term strategy for Aucklands growth and development. The
Item 10
council provides opportunities for Mori engagement and supports Mori capacity to
participate in decision-making. When making significant decisions in relation to land or a
body of water, the council must take into account the relationship of Mori and their culture
and traditions with their ancestral land, water, sites, waahi tapu, valued flora and fauna and
other taonga.
35. Mori Identity and Wellbeing is one of the six outcomes of the draft Auckland Plan. The
outcome describes the application of te ao Mori values to Auckland, acknowledges the
unique role of mana whenua as kaitiaki of Tmaki Makaurau and acknowledges the
foundational role of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
36. Engagement with mana whenua, mataawaka, and relevant Mori community groups has
been undertaken to develop the draft plan.
37. The Independent Mori Statutory Board has provided formal feedback on earlier versions of
the draft Auckland Plan content. Staff are reviewing and responding to this feedback and will
provide a full response to the Board once the review is complete.
Implementation
Next steps
38. Remaining draft content (phase two) for the new Auckland Plan will be presented to the
Planning Committee at the 28 November 2017 meeting for review and approval.
39. Content will be presented in printed format. This will include:
overall contextual information
the remaining four outcomes areas (Homes and Places, Environment and Cultural
Heritage, Mori Identity and Wellbeing, Opportunity and Prosperity)
all sections of the Development Strategy
the implementation approach
measures.
40. There will also be a short summary or overview document for approval which will be used to
support public consultation.
41. The Planning Committee has previously agreed to consultation on the draft Auckland Plan
being undertaken concurrently with the draft Long-term Plan 2018. The approach to this will
be discussed with the Finance and Performance Committee on 15 November.
42. The topics and draft questions for the Auckland Plan consultation will be presented for
review and approval at the 28 November Planning Committee meeting.

Consideration of hearing panel's report on change of use at 40 Anzac

Street, Takapuna
Item 11
File No.: CP2017/23319
Purpose
1. To approve a change of use at 40 Anzac Street, Takapuna as recommended by the hearing
panel.
Executive summary
2. In March 2016, the Auckland Development Committee endorsed the Takapuna High Level
Project Plan and granted Panuku the authority to sell selected properties in Takapuna for the
purpose of achieving urban renewal and housing (the Unlock Takapuna project) conditional
on satisfactory conclusion of the required statutory processes. One of these sites was 40
Anzac Street.
3. Formal consultation and a hearing have recently been held and the hearing panel have
completed their deliberations. The hearing panel was given delegated authority to hear
submissions and to make recommendations to the Planning Committee for final approval.
Attachment A is the report of the hearing panel.
4. The Planning Committee can accept the hearing panels recommendation and approve the
change of use at 40 Anzac Street as recommended.
5. However, if the Planning Committee does not want to accept the hearing panels
recommendation, the Committee can only require the submission and hearing process to
begin again. The reason for this is that the Planning Committee did not hear the
submissions or consider the proposal as the hearing panel. Therefore, from a natural justice
perspective, the committee can only approve the recommendation or require the process to
begin again.
6. It is recommended that the Planning Committee approve the recommendation of the hearing
panel to change the use of 40 Anzac Street, Takapuna.
Recommendation/s
a) approve the recommendation of the hearing panel to change the use of 40 Anzac
Street, Takapuna from a carpark to mixed use with the following conditions:
i) Include a town square
ii) Investigate short-stay public parking in the surrounding streets
iii) Complete the Gasometer car park before the Anzac car park is closed
iv) Undertake further community engagement on the design of public space at 40
Anzac Street.

Avondale High Level Project Plan

File No.: CP2017/17513
Item 12
Purpose
1. To outline the content and seek Planning Committee adoption of the Unlock Avondale High
Level Project Plan (HLPP).
Executive summary
2. The HLPP seeks to unlock the considerable potential of Avondale. It is the central project
initiation document used to undertake a strategic analysis of an area and develop specific
goals, key strategic moves and project initiatives. The HLPP builds on earlier work and
current plans including the Whau Local Board Plan 2017 and the Avondale Action Plan
2013.
3. Avondale represents a major intensification and revitalisation opportunity for Auckland. The
town centre occupies a strategic location with good infrastructure, services and facilities. The
area has a number of large development-ready sites and there is market demand for
different housing types including terraces and apartments. The Avondale Train Station is an
important transport asset supporting redevelopment as it provides convenient access to the
citys train network.
4. Panuku will play a lead role in orchestrating the urban regeneration of Avondale. We will
utilise surplus council land and strategic acquisitions to facilitate development that creates
momentum for change in the area. This includes enabling development on 1815 1823
Great North Road (existing resolution to dispose) and 93 and 99 Rosebank Road (resolution
to dispose sought).
5. We will create the environment to bring the private sector and the Crown together to achieve
a suitable mix of housing, public realm improvements and services. This will support the
vitality of the centre and grow local business. Panuku will work with council to relocate and
update the community facilities and to improve public spaces and connections. Our place
activation, working with the community, will help us deliver on the vision of a strong vibrant
centre in which growing communities want to live, work and play, building on Avondales
good accessibility, train station, schools and environment.
6. Development opportunities identified within the HLPP have the ability to create significant
additional residential capacity. The final number of housing units will depend on design,
typology and market demand. Development of these sites for housing will increase amenity,
vibrancy, safety, connectivity and economic sustainability of the town centre and
demonstrate to the wider development industry that quality medium density developments in
a suburban location can be successfully achieved.
7. Avondale is one of the 10 Spatial Priority Areas identified in the Auckland Plan. It will
contribute to Strategic Directive 10 of the Auckland Plan by increasing the number of
dwellings in the area and creating a well-connected, quality town centre that local residents
take pride in.
8. Panuku, through its development partners, has a track record of enabling quality
development in Avondale on surplus council sites. This includes the construction of 72
apartments at 24-26 Racecourse Parade (including 7 affordable houses), 33 homes at 1
Trent Street (including 21 affordable houses) and a further 102 social houses proposed at 96
St George Street by Housing New Zealand. The HLPP will drive the urban regeneration of
Avondale Town Centre. To have a real and lasting strategic impact the scale of development
will need to be significantly increased.
Avondale HLPP Page 107

Planning Committee

9. Panuku seeks to continue to work with Housing New Zealand to achieve quality outcomes in
Avondale. Housing New Zealand is a major land owner in the area and has indicated that it
Item 12
is looking to develop its large sites. As part of a co-ordinated, holistic approach to

development we are seeking resolutions to enable Panuku to initiate the reserve revocation
and road stopping processes to better organise open space and existing roads within the
Highbury Triangle area.
Recommendation/s
a) endorse the Unlock Avondale High Level Project Plan as shown in Attachment A of
the agenda report.
b) endorse Panuku as Auckland Councils lead delivery agency for Avondale.
c) authorise Panuku to dispose the Auckland Council owned property listed below
should this site be no longer required for community facilities:
i) 93-99 Rosebank Road, Avondale (Lot 1 DP 68893 - CT NA25A/557 and Pt Lot
26 DP 177, Pt Lot 26 Allotment 7 Parish of Titirangi, Pt Lot 1 DP 8900 CT
NA133/52, NA133/53, NA218/152 (All Part-Cancelled))
ii) subject to the satisfactory conclusion of the required statutory processes and
agreement that final terms and conditions be approved under the appropriate
delegations.
d) authorise Panuku to initiate the process of revoking the reserve status of the Tait
Park (103-109 Rosebank Road Pt Lot 1 & Lot 2 DP 21092 NA475/232, NA46A/901)
and the road stopping of Community Lane to enable better development outcomes,
subject to statutory processes.
e) note that the Finance and Performance Committee will need to approve the disposal
of the property in c) above and as referenced in the High Level Project Plan.
Comments
10. The geographical scope of the project covers the central Avondale area, more specifically:
The primary retail area of Great North Road and the commercial area to the east between
the retail strip and the Avondale Train Station;
The Avondale central block which contains the Central Reserve, Housing New Zealand
owned land on Racecourse Parade and other key development sites;
The Highbury Triangle block which is bordered by Rosebank Road, Ash Street and Great
North Road and contains the existing library and community centre, Housing New
Zealand land and a vacant council owned residential site; and
The Avondale Racecourse.
11. The Council has a number of landholdings within the Avondale town centre as illustrated on
the attached map. The yellow shading indicates properties owned by council, green
indicates council owned reserves, dark pink shows large development sites owned by
Housing New Zealand and the orange highlights important development sites currently in
private ownership. The total project area is 68 ha.

Planning Committee
07 November 2017
12. Avondale was chosen for regeneration as an unlock location due to the suitability of the area
for intensification and the potential benefits that urban development would have in this
location. To achieve this potential the following issues need to be addressed:
Item 12
The large site in the middle of the town centre (1909-1949 Great North Road also known
as the Bai site) has been vacant since the late 1990s. This results in a lack of continuity
of the town centre and a perception that the centre lacks vibrancy.
The existing community facility on Rosebank Road is not fit for purpose and the library is
unlikely to be able to cater for future growth in the catchment.
There is a weak connection between the Avondale Train Station and the main street.
There is a disconnected local street network.
There is insufficient council owned recreation space.
The connection between the Whau River and the town centre could be improved.
13. A number of Strategic Moves have been developed for Avondale. These draw from previous
planning work on the centre and move the project from strategy to implementation.
Strategic Move 1: Enliven the heart of Avondale town centre

14. We will seek out opportunities to bring new life to under-utilized land, upgrade the town
square and develop a multi-use community facility.
15. To enable regeneration there is a need to address the identified gap in activity on Great
North Road and refocus the Avondale town centre. There is also a need to encourage the
development of large vacant or underutilised sites that degrade the overall quality of the
town centre. The following initiatives are proposed:
Seek good development outcomes on the central development sites (1909 1949 Great
North Road and 1907 Great North Road) through advocacy, negotiation or acquisition.
Support the building of a new multipurpose community facility in Avondale. This is an
opportunity to create a vibrant heart where the Avondale community can access many
services including the library, community centre, active recreation, and local events.
Support the upgrading of existing open space areas including an upgraded town square,
facilitate improvements to open space within the Highbury Triangle area and an upgrade
of facilities within the Central Reserve.
16. Council has supported a business case for the relocation of the library and community
centre to a central Avondale location. Once funding for this facility is secured through the
Long Term Plan, Panuku will seek to confirm an appropriate site for this facility. This would
then create an opportunity to enable development on 93 & 99 Rosebank Road to secure a
financial return and support urban regeneration. A resolution is sought to dispose of this site
should it no longer be required for community facilities.
17. These initiatives would help to bring focus to the town centre and better align the town
centre with the Avondale Train Station. They will also provide a catalyst to attract and
support quality development within the wider Avondale area.
Strategic Move 2: Create high quality residential neighbourhoods

18. We will champion the building of quality new residential areas through the development of
council owned land and working with other land owners.
19. Avondale has the ability to contribute significantly to Auckland housing needs by enabling
additional housing stock and demonstrating how this stock can be provided in a way that
supports wider strategic aims including intensification. Primarily this will be through a
medium density housing type model, which is not the current predominant form of
development in the area. To ensure quality housing is delivered at pace it is important that
Panuku creates momentum for change and developers are given support and guidance by
council agencies. Developing a delivery programme will be critical to the speed and quality
of house construction.

Planning Committee
07 November 2017
20. The successful regeneration of Avondale will require effective and aligned decision making
by a number of landowners. A group of key council and crown agencies was assembled to
work on an update of the existing concept plan. Mode Architects were jointly instructed by
Panuku and Housing New Zealand Corporation and workshops were held to better
Item 12
understand the needs and development aspirations of these parties. The process has been
very useful for enabling open communication, identifying development aspirations,
opportunities for collaboration, important road linkages and enabling early funding
discussions. Options to relocate open space and roads to improve overall development
option are also being explored and a resolution is sought to authorise Panuku to initiate this
process should an appropriate agreement be reached with Housing New Zealand. This
engagement will continue throughout the project.
21. Panuku, through its development partners, has a track record of enabling quality
development in Avondale on surplus council sites. This includes the construction of 72
apartments at 24-26 Racecourse Parade (including 7 affordable houses), 33 homes at 1
Trent Street (including 21 affordable houses) and a further 102 social houses proposed at 96
St George Street by Housing New Zealand.
22. Panuku will continue to utilise its landholdings to create positive development opportunities.
This includes the site at 1815 -1823 Great North Road. The existing dwellings on this site
have been removed and due diligence completed. There is an existing council resolution to
sell the site. Once amalgamated titles have been obtained Panuku will be taking this site to
market.
The Avondale Racecourse

23. The Avondale Racecourse is well located to the town centre and it provides an attractive
outlook and contributes to the character of the area. The Avondale Jockey Club has
subdivided and sold a number of different parcels of land from the original landholding to
enable racing to continue on the site. The horse racing element of the racecourse has
however been in decline for some time and may not be sustainable in the medium term.
24. There is a risk that this land could continue to be sold and developed in a piecemeal way
that does not support community aspirations or the regeneration and housing objectives of
the HLPP. For example sale of the land for bulk retail activities or standalone housing
product would not optimise the opportunity for Avondale. It is also important that the
recreational uses such as access to sports fields is secured long term. Continued sale of
sections of land from the overall land holding will degrade the strategic value of the site and
make a quality master planned form of development harder to achieve.
25. Panuku will look for opportunities to secure certainty over the long term future of the
Avondale Racecourse and the playing fields leased by the council, by continuing to work
with key stakeholders such as the Avondale Jockey Club and the council family to seek
positive outcomes.
Strategic Move 3: Strengthen connections with the town centre

26. We will work with key stakeholders to improve the physical links between the town centre
and activity hubs including the train station and cycleways.
27. It is important that the town centre maximises the benefit of existing and planned investment
in transport infrastructure and considers the long term development pattern for the area. The
Avondale Train Station is a key strategic asset for the area and there is an opportunity to
improve pedestrian access to it. There is also a need to work with key stakeholders to
improve the local street network in a way that takes into account any future development of
the Avondale Racecourse. The following initiatives are proposed;
Pedestrian and cycle connection improvement to the northern side of Crayford St West to
strengthen legibility and access between the train station and the town centre on Great
North Road.

Planning Committee
07 November 2017
Extension of Crayford St West as a two-way street along the Central Reserve, to improve
the activation of this area, support new community facilities if located here, and future
connection to the racecourse.
Incorporate new street links in HNZ and Council development sites to optimise the
Item 12
walkability of an intensified residential neighbourhood.
Pedestrian and cycle connection improvement on Wingate Street to strengthen legibility
and access between the Avondale main street and Te Whau pathway.
Future proof connections into the Avondale Racecourse to improve the permeability of
this large urban block.
Strategic Move 4: Foster the growth of local businesses

28. We will work in partnership with the local board and community to implement a retail strategy
that attracts new businesses, increasing diversity of products and services.
29. Regeneration requires strong local business investment to improve the viability of the retail
offer. Strong local businesses and an interesting town centre that meet the needs of new
and existing residents will be an important factor to providing a town centre that is fit for
purpose and provides enduring benefits for the existing community. The following initiatives
are proposed:
Deliver place-making and other initiatives to improve town centre perception and
business growth.
Demonstrate leadership by introducing new retail and commercial spaces to activate
important public spaces.
Consideration
30. On-going consultation with the Whau Local Board has been undertaken to ensure the
Unlock Avondale HLPP and subsequent projects are consistent with the views of the Local
Board. The Whau Local Board has formally endorsed the Avondale High Level Project Plan.

31. Mana whenua will play an integrated cultural, social and economic role in unlocking the
potential of Avondale. Engagement with mana whenua has contributed to defining the
strategy. Mana whenua have a strong historical footprint in Avondale and seek to build on
this association through involvement in development which recognises their values and
draws on Te Aranga design principles. Increasingly, as Treaty Settlements are reached,
mana whenua through cultural and commercial redress can be leaders in the revitalisation
and place making. It is important that their input into decision-making processes enables
these opportunities for mana whenua contribution within the market and does not foreclose
them. Opportunities may extend to joint ventures, land purchase and development.
32. The 12 Tmaki Makaurau mana whenua iwi and hap listed below have interests in the
broader Avondale 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 Avondale.

33. Mana whenua engagement on the Unlock Avondale project has resulted in the articulation of
a cultural narrative specific to the area. The cultural narrative provides a very high level
touch point on the association of mana whenua with Avondale and the wider surrounding
area. It is envisaged that the cultural narrative provides context for on-going discussion with
the mana whenua as part of future implementation and in particular through:
The expression of mana whenua cultural associations
Pursuing development consistent with Te Aranga Design, in conjunction with mana
whenua principles and guidance.
That a people-centred environment is favoured that supports community building and an
awareness and respect for the natural environment.
That improved stormwater management should be an integral and visible part of the
projects.
Implementation
34. A number of specific projects have been identified through the development of the HLPP.
These projects relate to the management of councils property portfolio in the area. They
detail how the sale of excess council land could be used to facilitate positive regeneration
outcomes and detail sites where acquisition may be appropriate.
35. To protect the Councils position in any future property negotiations a number of these
projects remain confidential at this stage and are not included in this open report.

Auckland Council's submission on the proposed Northland Regional

Plan
Item 13
File No.: CP2017/22797
Purpose
1. To endorse a draft submission on the Proposed Northland Regional Plan and to delegate
authority to the Planning Committee Chair and Environment and Community Committee
Chair to review and approve councils final submission.
Executive summary
2. The Northland Regional Council has notified the Proposed Northland Regional Plan (the
Plan) for submissions. The Plan sets out policies and rules for managing fresh water, land,
air and the coast in Northland.
3. As the natural environment does not recognise local government administrative boundaries,
where practical, similar cross boundary approaches are important to ensure that wider
catchment effects are appropriately managed.
4. A draft submission has been prepared by council staff. The draft submission generally
supports the Plan and identifies several key themes of effects arising from activities or
natural processes within the Northland region that could cross or migrate into the Auckland
region. They are:
Genetically modified organisms. In the event that genetically modified organism
provisions are incorporated into the Plan through the submissions process, that the
provisions align with those within the Auckland Unitary Plan, and Auckland Council be
given the opportunity to comment and respond to these provisions.
Spreading of invasive marine pests. The inclusion of rules regarding hull bio-fouling
and in-water vessel hull and niche area cleaning are supported, as a similar approach
was taken in the Auckland Unitary Plan. Clarification is sought regarding the exception
for the Kaipara Harbour. It appears to have a more permissive approach than the rest of
the region.
Open air burning of potentially toxic compounds. A number of potentially toxic
compounds and materials are included in the rule for Outdoor burning - non-complying
activity. There is no explicit policy recognition of the impact on human health and the
environment from outdoor burning of such materials. Given that the open burning of such
materials can lead to the release of air pollutants and hazardous by-products, staff
consider this issue to be a cross-boundary matter and that they should be a prohibited
activity.
Vegetation clearance. The Plan permits any amount of vegetation clearance outside
margins of natural wetlands, rivers, lakes and streams, coastal hazard management
areas, and highly erodible land. Up to 5000m2 of woody indigenous vegetation per year
on highly erodible land may be cleared, subject to standards managing the risk of flood
flows, and receiving water quality. Much of the mapped areas of highly erodible land
within the Northland region are along coastal margins, or near a water body which could
drain to the Kaipara Harbour. This represents a potentially significant cross-boundary
issue for the Auckland region.
5. To provide greater clarity and workability of the Plan, staff also suggest the definition of
coastal hazard management area be amended. The inclusion of hazard in the definition
gives an impression that it defines the area of hazard.
Auckland Council's submission on the proposed Northland Regional Plan Page 139
Planning Committee
07 November 2017
6. Staff support the following provisions in the Plan:

i) matters in the Plan which respond to the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement and
take a generally consistent approach to the Auckland Unitary Plan and so provide for
Item 13
integrated management of the coastal environment across regional boundaries

ii) the inclusion of stock exclusion rules, particularly the exclusion of stock from the
coastal marine area, as this will exclude stock from the Kaipara Harbour foreshore and
consequential cross boundary sedimentation in the Kaipara Harbour
iii) reference to Auckland Councils GD051 best practice guideline for earthworks as a
required standard for permitted earthworks in the Northland region, as this will clarify
expectations for large-scale earthworks design and management which cross the
Northland and Auckland region boundaries.
7. Attachment A provides a draft submission on the Proposed Northland Regional Plan.
Recommendation/s
a) endorse the draft Auckland Council submission as councils response to the
Proposed Northland Regional Plan;
b) authorise the Planning Committee Chair and the Environment and Community
Committee Chair to review and approve councils final submission on the Proposed
Northland Regional Plan.
Comments
Background
8. Prior to the notification of the Proposed Northland Regional Plan, Auckland Council staff
provided feedback on the draft Northland Regional Plan in October 2016.
9. The Proposed Northland Regional Plan represents Northland Regional Councils approach
to managing Northlands fresh water, land, air and the coast. This new single regional plan
replaces the current three regional plans on air quality, coastal plan and water and soil plan.
Northland Regional Council has taken the position that the purpose of the Plan is a rule book
with policies to guide resource consent processes. It contains little optional content such as
issues, explanations, methods (other than rules) and assessment criteria.
10. The Plan could impact on Aucklands land, air, fresh water and coastal water resources
adjoining the northern boundary of the Auckland region.
Submission
11. Auckland Councils submission generally supports the Plan and seeks amendments on the
following key themes that arise from activities or natural processes within the Northland
region that may potentially cross or migrate into the Auckland region.
Genetically modified organisms

12. It is acknowledged that the Plan does not contain provisions regulating genetically modified
organisms as there are active appeals on the proposed genetically modified organism
provisions in the Regional Policy Statement for Northland; and that the Northland Regional
Council will review whether a plan change (to the regional plan) is necessary once the
appeals have concluded.

Erosion and Sediment Control Guide for Land Disturbing Activities in the Auckland Region, known as GD05
Planning Committee
07 November 2017
13. However, as the natural environment does not recognise local government administrative
boundaries, the release of genetically modified organisms into Northland and potential
effects arising from migration of genetically modified organisms across the regional
boundary into Auckland is an important issue.
Item 13
14. It is proposed that, in the event that genetically modified organism provisions are
incorporated into the Plan through the submissions process, such provisions be based on
the Auckland Unitary Plan provisions and that Auckland Council be given the opportunity to
comment and respond to these provisions.
Spreading of invasive marine pests

15. Marine pests are a potential cross-boundary issue as invasive species could spread
between regions through vessel movement. The inclusion of rules regarding hull bio-fouling
and in-water vessel hull and niche area cleaning are supported, as a similar approach was
taken in the Auckland Unitary Plan.
16. It appears that if a vessel is entering Northland in the Kaipara Harbour, it is a permitted
activity if a vessel had no more than light fouling the last time it was in the harbour, with no
limit on how long it has been away or on where it has been in that time. If the intention of
the clause is that it applies to vessels that stay within the harbour, but leave Northland by
going into the Auckland part of the harbour, it is suggested that this be made clearer in the
Plan.
17. It is also suggested that clarification should be made regarding Rule C.1.7.6 which specifies
that the discharge of contaminants through passive release of biofouling from a vessel hull
and niche areas, is a discretionary activity, unless it is a permitted activity or authorised
under the Biosecurity Act 1993. The Plan does not actually state that a discharge
authorised under the Biosecurity Act is a permitted activity although that is implied.
Open air burning of potentially toxic compounds

18. It is a concern that a number of potentially toxic compounds and materials are included in
rule C.7.1.9 Outdoor burning - non-complying activity. There is no explicit policy
recognition of the impact on human health and the environment from outdoor burning of
such materials. Given that the open burning of such materials can lead to the release of air
pollutants and hazardous by-products, staff consider this issue to be a cross-boundary
matter.
19. Open burning of agricultural plastics can lead to the release of heavy metals, dioxins and
furans. The last two groups are of the greatest concern because they are formed in
instances of low combustion temperatures (such as those associated with open burning).
These chemicals are a health concern even in very small quantities, being associated with
endocrine disruption, heart disease, cognitive and motor disabilities, as well as being a
known human carcinogen. Exposure to these pollutants occurs not only through direct
inhalation but also through ingestion of contaminated plants or animals.
20. Staff are particularly concerned about air pollution as a result of discharge of farm plastics
(agriwraps and chemical containers) given that typical farms produce tonnes of waste on a
yearly basis and this represents a potentially significant cross-boundary issue for the
Auckland region.
21. It is suggested that any open air burning of toxic compounds is an activity that should be
prohibited rather than non-complying. Staff are of the opinion that providing for the burning
of farm plastics and other potentially toxic compounds as a non-complying activity does not
adequately promote the alternatives for recycling that are increasingly available.
22. Changing the activity status for the outdoor burning of materials as listed under proposed
rule C.7.1.9 from non-complying to prohibited would better reflect the awareness and
understanding of the damage to health and environment that this presents.

Vegetation clearance
23. More permissive rules within the Northland region for the clearance of (indigenous)
vegetation within coastal hazard management areas, and clearance of native woody
vegetation on highly erodible land may present cross boundary issues with the Auckland
Item 13
region. The Auckland Unitary Plan permits the removal of up to 250m2 indigenous
vegetation across all rural areas, over a 10 year period. This is a positive measure to retain
areas of indigenous biodiversity outside identified ecological overlays, and to recognise the
ecosystem services that vegetation provides in retaining soil, reducing erosion and water
runoff.
24. The Plan permits any amount of vegetation clearance outside of the margins of natural
wetlands, rivers, lakes and streams, coastal hazard management areas, and highly erodible
land. Up to 5000m2 of woody indigenous vegetation per year on highly erodible land may be
cleared, subject to standards managing the risk of flood flows, and receiving water quality.
Much of the mapped areas of highly erodible land within the Northland region are along
coastal margins, or near a water body which could drain to the Kaipara Harbour. This
represents a potentially significant cross-boundary issue for the Auckland region.
25. Staff suggest that the threshold to clear native woody vegetation on highly erodible land (if
the cleared area is not replanted with woody vegetation) should be amended from 5000m2 to
200m2 (consistent with the permitted threshold for clearance near freshwater bodies in the
Plan). Clarity is also sought on the relationship between Highly erodible land as defined in
the Plan and erosion prone land, in the Regional Policy Statement for Northland.
Improve workability of the Plan

26. Staff suggest that the definition of coastal hazard management area be amended as the
inclusion of hazard in the definition gives an impression that it defines the area of hazard.
A more relevant term would be dune protection area or coastal riparian management area.
Support for various matters

27. Staff support the inclusion of matters in the Plan which respond to the New Zealand Coastal
Policy Statement and take a generally consistent approach to the Auckland Unitary Plan and
so provide for integrated management of the coastal environment across regional
boundaries.
28. The inclusion of stock exclusion rules, particularly the exclusion of stock from the coastal
marine area, is supported as this will exclude stock from the Kaipara Harbour foreshore and
consequential cross boundary sedimentation into the Kaipara Harbour. Exclusion of stock
from the coastal marine area is supported as it is not covered in the stock exclusion
regulation currently being developed by the Ministry for the Environment.
29. Reference to Auckland Councils GD052 best practice guideline for earthworks as a required
standard for permitted earthworks in the Northland region is supported as this will clarify
expectations for large-scale earthworks design and management which cross the Northland
and Auckland region boundaries.
Consideration
30. Local Boards were informed that the Proposed Northland Regional Plan was notified for
submissions and that Auckland Council would potentially submit on cross boundary issues.
The project team received a request from the Rodney Local Board to view the draft
submission and provide comments. Rodney Local Board advised that they did not have any
substantive feedback. Board Member Brenda Steele noted that she supports the
submission.

Erosion and Sediment Control Guide for Land Disturbing Activities in the Auckland Region, known as GD05
Planning Committee
07 November 2017

31. A memo outlining the high-level staff analysis of the Plan was sent to Mana Whenua
representatives in September 2017. The memo invited Mana Whenua to provide their
Item 13
observations that they wanted included in councils submission. One Mana Whenua
representative advised that they would provide further observations for the Auckland Council
submission. To date no comments have been provided to the project team.
32. From extensive engagement undertaken throughout the preparation of the Auckland Unitary
Plan, Mana Whenua identified concerns that processes and activities relating to land, air,
freshwater and the coast can adversely affect the relationships of Mana Whenua and their
culture and traditions with their ancestral taonga. Issues of concern include:
air quality e.g. adverse effects of contaminants on important food processes, in particular
puha and watercress
effects of land disturbing activities adjacent to waterbodies
degradation of water quality e.g. sewage and stormwater discharges into waterways
protection of coastal resources e.g. birds and fish.
These issues of concern have been used as a reference point to assist in identifying matters
within the Plan that could be submitted on.
Watercare Services Limited

33. Watercare Services Limited (Watercare) owns and operates the public water and
wastewater assets in Auckland and is responsible for water supply and wastewater services
to the majority of Aucklanders. Watercare is also required to maintain the long-term integrity
of its assets to ensure safe and reliable water supply and wastewater services.
34. Watercare acknowledges Northland Regional Councils Proposed Regional Plan and would
like to confirm that it does not have any concerns with this proposed plan.
Implementation
35. It is recommended that the final submission be provided to the Chairs of Planning and
Environment and Community Committees for review and approval prior to lodging with the
Northland Regional Council on 15 November 2017.

Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) - Proposed Plan Change -

Historic Heritage Schedule (Errors, Anomalies and Information Update)
Item 14
File No.: CP2017/22693
Purpose
1. To seek approval to publicly notify a proposed plan change to the Auckland Unitary Plan
(Operative in part) Chapter L, Schedule 14 Historic Heritage Schedule, Statements and
Maps to amend 145 historic heritage places to correct errors and anomalies, and update
information.
Executive summary
2. A plan change is proposed to Chapter L Schedules, Schedule 14 Historic Heritage
Schedule, Statements and Maps (Schedule 14) of the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in
part) (AUP).
3. The proposed plan change seeks to correct errors and anomalies, and to update information
for 145 already scheduled historic heritage places, by amending information in Schedule 14
and/or the GIS viewer/planning maps.
4. The places subject to the proposed plan change are recognised primarily for their built
heritage values.
5. The Resource Management Act 1991 (the Act) provides for a rule in a proposed plan to
have immediate legal effect in certain circumstances, including if the rule protects historic
heritage3. The council can resolve to delay the point at which heritage-related plan changes
have legal effect, however staff do not consider that there are any reasons why the council
should depart from the standard process under the Act.
6. Staff have not contacted the owners and occupiers of the properties to which the proposed
plan change relates, however the owners and occupiers will receive a letter at the point the
proposed plan change is notified, informing them of the proposed plan change, and will be
able to make a submission should they choose to do so.
Recommendation/s
a) approve the public notification of the proposed plan change to amend 145 historic
heritage places in Schedule 14 to correct errors and anomalies, and to update
information, included as Attachments 1, 2 and 3 to the agenda report.
b) endorse the section 32 evaluation report included as Attachment 4 to the agenda
report.
c) agree that the proposed plan change should have immediate legal effect from the
date of public notification.
d) endorse the decision to notify owners and occupiers of land affected by the proposed
plan change at the same time as the proposed plan change is publicly notified.
e) delegate to the Heritage Manager the authority to approve minor amendments to the
proposed plan change, if required, in advance of public notification
3
Section 86B(3)(d) of the Act provides for a rule in a proposed plan to have immediate legal effect if the rule
protects historic heritage.
Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) - Proposed Plan Change - Historic Heritage Schedule Page 165
(Errors, Anomalies and Information Update)
Planning Committee
07 November 2017
Comments
Item 14
Background
7. The AUP contains objectives, policies and rules to protect significant historic heritage from
inappropriate subdivision, use and development. The AUP method to achieve this protection
is primarily focused on Schedule 14, which identifies and recognises historic heritage places,
and includes these places in the Historic Heritage Overlay. Historic heritage places are also
mapped in the GIS viewer/planning maps.
8. Council staff and the public have identified errors in the AUP. In 2016, the Governing Body
directed staff to initiate a process for relevant plan changes to address any technical matters
and property anomalies relating to the AUP (GB/2016/201).
9. In response, council staff undertook a systematic review of Schedule 14 and the GIS
viewer/planning maps. Where there was scope, council amended errors through Clause 16
and 20A of Schedule 1 of the Act (e.g. spelling, grammar, referencing and numbering
errors).
10. In March 2017, the Planning Committee approved the first Administrative Plan Change to
the AUP in order to progress the correction of technical matters and anomalies beyond the
scope of the Clause 16 or Clause 20A processes of the Act (PLA/2017/40)4. The committee
noted the possibility that future plan change/s may be required to address matters outside
the scope of the Administrative Plan Change to enable the AUP to be effective. Places with
errors that are outside the scope of that plan change are the subject of this plan change.
11. Historic heritage places identified in the overlay predominantly for their archaeological or
Mori heritage values are subject to a different work programme and are expected to be the
subject of future plan change processes.
12. Not all historic heritage places with known errors are included in this plan change.
Furthermore, it is anticipated that errors will continue to be identified and will require
correction through future plan change processes.
13. The plan change seeks to correct errors and anomalies, and to update information for 145
historic heritage places in the AUP, by amending the information in Schedule 14.1 Schedule
of Historic Heritage (Schedule 14.1) and/or the GIS viewer/planning maps.
14. Each historic heritage place included in the plan change has, as part of a previous process,
been evaluated for its historic heritage significance (RPS Policy B5.2.2.(3)). These places
are already included within the AUP Historic Heritage Overlay, and identified in Schedule
14.1 and the GIS viewer/planning maps.
15. Schedule 14.1 of the AUP was created by historic heritage places being rolled over from
the schedules in legacy Council plans, or introduced through the Proposed Auckland Unitary
Plan (PAUP) process to Schedule 14.1. Schedule 14.1 contains over 2,200 historic heritage
places.
16. While many legacy errors and anomalies were corrected through the PAUP process and the
creation of Schedule 14.1, some legacy errors were rolled over and some new errors were
introduced. These errors have been identified by council staff and the public.
4
Of the errors identified that relate to Schedule 14.1, 21 are proposed to be corrected as part of the
Administrative Plan Change.
Planning Committee
07 November 2017
17. The errors include:

the extent of place shown in the GIS viewer/planning maps is incorrect,
primary features and/or exclusions are not identified or are incorrect,
Item 14
category A places have no primary feature identified, and
a place has duplicate entries in Schedule 14.1 that should be merged.
18. In addition to errors, some places require amendment to align with Councils property
information, including legal descriptions and street addresses. Some places also require
amendments to ensure consistency with how similar places are identified in Schedule 14.1.
Some places were subject to the interim category of A* and as part of the plan change work
have been confirmed as Category B historic heritage places.
19. Places introduced into the legacy Auckland Council District Plan Operative North Shore
Section 2002 through Plan Change 38 also require amendment in the proposed plan
change. These places are within the Historic Heritage Overlay but are identified by a dot
only in the GIS viewer/planning maps. The plan change proposes the addition of an extent of
place to 62 of these places.
20. The section 32 evaluation report (Attachment 4) found that a plan change to the AUP is the
most efficient, effective and appropriate option for correcting errors and anomalies in
Schedule 14.1 and the GIS viewer/planning maps.
Consultation on the draft plan changes

21. Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga (Heritage NZ) is identified as an interested party for
the proposed plan change. Their interest is in protecting New Zealands significant heritage
places, with a particular interest in the protection of places on the New Zealand Heritage
List/Rrangi Krero (NZHL/RK).
22. For the purposes of notification, Heritage NZ is considered directly affected by the proposed
plan change only where places are on the NZHL/RK. They were consulted on the proposed
plan change in July 2017, with no response received.
23. The Heritage Advisory Panel was advised of the proposed plan change at its 26 September
meeting. No feedback was received from the Panel on the proposed plan change.
24. Relating to the correction of errors and anomalies, the proposed plan change has not been
subject to any community consultation.
Consultation with iwi
25. Clause 3(1)(d) of Schedule 1 of the Act states that local authority shall consult, through iwi
authorities, with tangata whenua of the area who may be affected during the preparation of a
proposed policy statement or plan. The historic heritage places included in the plan change
are located across the Auckland region. Due to this, all iwi authorities associated with the
Auckland region have been consulted.
26. On 24 July 2017, Council staff informed iwi authorities about the proposed plan change and
advised that a draft copy would be provided for feedback. Four out of the 19 iwi authorities
indicated an interest in the proposed plan changes and were provided further information.
Ngati Whatua o Orakei requested plan change documentation
Manuhiri Kaitiaki Charitable Trust requested a list of places in Rodney that were in the
proposed plan changes
Planning Committee
07 November 2017
Waiohua Te Ahiwaru Makaurau and Te Kawerau Iwi Tribal Authority and

Settlement Trust sought a meeting to gain information about the proposed plan
changes. Staff met with representatives of these authorities jointly and provided
information about the proposed plan changes, particularly in relation to places in their
Item 14
rohe, and about the process to evaluate and schedule historic heritage places/how the
AUP protects historic heritage. Further information was provided after the meeting
about the process to schedule historic heritage places, and about Mori heritage in
Whenuapai.
27. A draft copy the proposed plan change was provided to the 19 iwi authorities of the
Auckland region on 18 September 2017. No feedback was received.
Notification of proposed plan change and legal effect of rules
28. Clause 5 of Schedule 1 of the Act requires local authorities to publicly notify a proposed
policy statement or plan or provide limited notification (Clause 5A), where all persons directly
affected by a proposed plan change are able to be identified. Given the general public
interest in heritage, full public notification (as opposed to limited notification) is considered to
be the most appropriate pathway.
29. Schedule 14 is a rule in the AUP that protects historic heritage. Unless the council resolves
otherwise, rules in a proposed plan change can have immediate legal effect from the date of
notification of the plan change where the rule protects historic heritage, under section
86B(3)(d) of the Act. Staff do not consider that there are any reasons why the council should
depart from the standard approach to the timing of the proposed plan change having legal
effect.
30. This committee holds the delegation to approve the notification of proposed plan changes to
the AUP. Staff also seek delegated authority to the Heritage Manager to enable minor
editorial changes prior to notification. The form, content, intent and scope of the plan change
will remain unchanged.
31. In accordance with Schedule 1 of the Act, the submission period will be 20 working days,
followed by a further submissions period. Hearings on the proposed plan change will be held
by a panel of planning commissioners. The timetable for a hearing will depend on the
submissions received. Following the hearings and deliberations, the panel will make their
final decisions on the proposed plan change.
Consideration
32. Relating to the correction of errors and anomalies, the proposed plan change has not been
subject to local board consultation.
33. Prior to notification, local boards will be advised of the proposed plan change and invited to
provide views. Comments received will be considered alongside the submissions and
hearing process.

34. Schedule 14.1 includes places of significance or interest to Mori. However, this proposed
plan change includes built heritage that is scheduled for reasons other than significance to
Mori. A separate review of archaeological sites in Schedule 14.1 is underway, and
amendments proposed as a result of that review are expected to be of greater interest to
Mana Whenua.
35. As part of Clause 4 of Schedule 1 of the Act, feedback on the draft amendments has been
sought from iwi authorities prior to public notification. As previously noted, no feedback was
received.
