Item 11

File No.: CP2016/06192
Purpose
1.
This report broadly outlines progress on the Port Future Study since the last update to the
Auckland Development Committee on 15 October 2015. It also serves as background for Dr
Rick Boven, the Independent Chair of the Study, to give a verbal report on the process thus
far and answer any questions Committee members may have.
Executive Summary
2.
The Port Future Study has appointed consultants and made significant progress in its
methodology towards a recommendation to the Auckland Development Committee later this
year. On its current trajectory, the study will report at the Committees July meeting. Since
the last chairmans report in October 2015, the broader Reference Group has met twice
during February and April of this year. The Consensus Working Group continues to work
closely with its consultants, directing their methodology and building its own understanding
of the issues.
Recommendation/s
a)
receive a verbal update from Dr Rick Boven, Independent Chair for the Port Future
Study.
b)
receive the background report on the progress of the Port Future Study.
Comments
3.
On 1 April 2015 the Auckland Development Committee resolved to commence the Port
Future Study (Resolution No. AUC/2015/61). Consistent with the Committees subsequent
resolution on 14 May (Resolution number AUC/2015/95), a collaborative Mori and
stakeholder process was established to investigate the long term future of Aucklands port.
4.
As directed, two groups have been established from stakeholder organisations and mana
whenua: a broader Reference Group and a smaller Consensus Working Group (CWG). The
Reference Group consists of around 80 members and held its first meeting in September
2015.
5.
On 15 October 2015, the Auckland Development Committee received an update and the
Study Scope as well as a verbal report from Independent Chair Dr Rick Boven. The
Committee endorsed the Study Scope at this time (Resolution number AUC/2015/194).
6.
In November 2015 the CWG appointed a consortium of consultants to provide the technical
work of the study. The consortium members are Ernst & Young (lead), Black Quay, GHD,
Jasmaz, Aurecon, eCoast and JLL. The project is tracking towards delivery of CWG
recommendations to the Auckland Development Committee in July.
7.
The CWG continues to meet regularly and gain a shared understanding of the issues as well
as work closely with the consultants as they progress their methodology.
8.
The consortiums methodology reflects the Study Scope. It first identifies a longlist of
location options that are theoretically technically feasible for an alternative port location. This
list (Attachment A) was distributed to the Reference Group and made available to the media
in February 2016.
9.
At this second meeting of the Reference Group in February, the CWG and consultants
received valuable feedback on the project methodology, longlist of port location areas and
assessment criteria.
Page 21
Item 11

14 April 2016
10.
These location areas were then analysed using criteria beyond the initial analysis for
theoretical technical feasibility. This included their cultural, environmental, social and
economic attributes. Both the current Ports of Auckland Ltd site and other existing port
locations were also analysed.
11.
The third meeting of the Reference Group will be held on 13 April 2016. At the meeting, it is
anticipated that the CWG and consultants will receive comment from the Reference Group
on the methodology and emerging shortlist. Dr Boven will provide commentary in his verbal
report.
Consideration
Local Board views and implications
12.
The project team gave a briefing about the Study at the Local Board Chairs Forum on 22
June 2015. Local Board Chairs have also been provided with the finalised Scope, longlist of
areas and shortlist attached.
Mori impact statement

13.
As noted, there are four mana whenua members on the CWG who provide mana whenua
input to the Study. The chairs and commercial arms of Aucklands mana whenua iwi have
also been invited to be members of the Reference Group.

Item 12

File No.: CP2016/02290
Purpose
1.
This report includes an update on the monitoring and reporting programme for the Auckland
Housing Accord (the Accord) and particularly the monitoring and reporting of progress in
Special Housing Areas (SHAs).
2.
It also seeks the Committees endorsement of the proposed Auckland Housing Accord
monitoring and reporting programme to December 2016.
Executive Summary
3.
On 7 April 2016 the Mayor and the Minister for Building and Housing announced the tenth
and final tranche of Special Housing Areas to be created, taking the full number to 154, and
providing potential for 56,000 new homes across Auckland. They also released the Auckland
Housing Accord First Quarterly Monitoring Report for the Third Accord Year (covering the
period 1 October to 31 December 2015) (see Attachment A).
4.
That report indicated that at 31 December 2015 there was good progress toward the overall
three year Accord target of 39,000 sites and dwellings. The next quarterly monitoring report
covering the period 1 January to 31 March 2016 is due for completion in mid-May 2016.
5.
With approximately six months left to the end of the Auckland Housing Accord there is
increasing interest in the performance of SHAs in the delivery of new homes, and the
presentation of this report will include an up to date figure for home completions in SHAs.
6.
As the quarterly monitoring report demonstrates, and as shown in Attachments B and C of

this report, there is a large amount of activity in SHAs in the form of earthworks and dwelling
construction that will deliver significantly greater numbers of home completions in SHAs in
the months and years ahead.
7.
This report describes and recommends a reporting programme for the remainder of 2016
that will build on existing reporting and provide significantly more information on progress
within SHAs including home completions and photos of completed or under-construction
developments.
8.
Accord monitoring now opearates at three levels:

Level 1: Mainly performance against Housing Accord targets and overall consenting activity
in SHAs (as in previous quarterly reports)
Level 2: Detail about each SHA (refer Attachment B), including infrastructure issues
Level 3: Detail about each qualifying development consent, home completion and ready for
occupation.
9.
Future quarterly reports will include more Level 2 information and summary Level 3
information. It is not proposed to report on progress against individual consents.
10.
The value of aerial photography for illustrating the range and scale of SHA activity is
demonstrated in Attachment C. The areas shown are:
a. 12 of the 42 SHAs where consented dwelling construction and earthwork activity / site
preparation is taking place;
b. 12 of the total of 154 SHAs (Tranches 1-10), including 893 (56 per cent) dwellings
consented in SHAs since the start of the Accord. Or, 4.4 per cent of all dwellings
consented in Auckland since the start of the Accord;
c. 3,276 (57per cent) of the potential sections and dwellings enabled by resource consents
approved under the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act (HASHAA);
Page 25

14 April 2016
Item 12
d. 270 hectares (11 per cent) of the Future Urban Land (FUZ) supply pipeline through
SHAs or 2.75 per cent of the entire FUZ in the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan;
e. Approximately 2 per cent of the 56,000 dwellings expected to be constructed in SHAs at
full build-out (a 10 year plus development pipeline)
Please note the above figures are based on data from February (building consents) and
March (Tranche 10 recommendations), and that some areas subject to earthworks do not
yet have building consents for home construction.
11.
SHA consenting will peak in 2017 or later but actual development activity and dwelling
completions will probably peak a year or two after consenting activity peaks. The Accord
ends on 16 September 2016 but consent applications already lodged can continue to be
processed under HASHAA.
12.
A comprehensive Housing Accord Three Year report is also proposed for presentation to the
Committee by December 2016. As with quarterly monitoring reports it is proposed that it be
prepared jointly with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. The Ministry has
endorsed this proposal.
Recommendation/s
a)
receive the Auckland Housing Accord Monitoring Report for Quarter 1 of Year 3
b)
note that Auckland Housing Accord monitoring indicates that:
c)
d)
i)
at 31 December 2015 the year 3 target of 17,000 consented dwellings and

sites and the total three year target of 39,000 consented dwellings and sites
continued to be achievable, noting also that the building consent figures for
January and February 2016 have also been positive;
ii)
good progress is being made toward a more comprehensive set of Special

Housing Area performance data, including reliable figures for new home
completions consented under the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas
Act 2013.
note that:
i)
with the inclusion of Tranche 10, Special Housing Areas will enable
development of approximately 56,000 dwellings across Auckland and almost
2,500 hectares of Future Urban Zone land.
ii)
this 2,500 hectares represents approximately one quarter of the anticipated 30

year greenfield land supply anticipated by the Auckland Plan and shown in the
Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan.
iii)
the greenfield SHAs make full use of available bulk infrastructure capacity and
provide a very large area for developers to deliver accelerated greenfield
housing developments.
agree the proposed composition of future quarterly monitoring reports will be as

described in this report, with increasing detail on activity in each of the special
housing areas, subject to commercial sensitivity and the privacy of home buyers or
occupants:
Level 1. Represents the content of existing monitoring reports:
i.
Dwelling consents Auckland-wide: last 12 months / last 3 months
ii. Progress in SHAs:

1.
Pre-application stage (consents and plan variations)
Page 26
2.
Under assessment (consents and plan variations)
3.
Plan variations approved
4.
Resource consents approved
5.
Building consents approved
6.
Under construction;
Item 12

14 April 2016
Level 2. Further information for each SHA:

i.
Time analysis of progress from SHA request through establishment,

masterplanning and consenting stages to current state of
development
ii. Description of the development typology mix of zones, land uses

and built form;
iii. Infrastructure requirements, issue resolution and agreements
Level 3. Summary information about
i.
Qualifying development application and approval dates and a

summary of what was approved
ii. Building consent application and approval dates and a summary of

what was approved
iii. Works commencement dates
iv. Construction completion dates
e)
agree to receive a detailed Auckland Housing Accord assessment report that will be
prepared in collaboration with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
by December 2016 and describes overall achievement against the Special Housing
Area objectives of the Auckland Housing Accord.
Discussion
13.
The latest Auckland Housing Accord monitoring report (for Quarter 1 of Year 3: October to
December 2015) (Attachment A) shows that:
a. The net number of new sections created and dwellings issued with building consents in
the first quarter of Year 3 was 3,902, which is 23 per cent of the 17,000 target. The full
year target of 17,000 and the total three year target of 39,000 remains achievable
b. City-wide results to December 2015 show:
i.
9,251 new dwellings issued with building consents to December 2015 is the
best in any 12-month period since 2004, over a decade ago
ii.
A 21 per cent increase on the same period of the previous year (up by
1,619 from 7,632 dwellings)
iii.
4,066 dwellings in multi-unit buildings were issued with building consents in the
12 months to December 2015, up by over 1,133 from 2,933 in the same period in
the previous year
iv.
multi-unit dwellings accounting for 44 per cent of new dwellings were issued with
building consents in the 12 months to December 2015.
c. In November and December 2015, 966 and 947 new dwellings were consented
respectively. If these monthly rates can be sustained in Accord Year 3 new dwellings
consented in a 12 month period could soon exceed 10,000, a level not seen since 2004.
Page 27

14 April 2016
Item 12
d. The greenfield land supply position continues to significantly improve owing to SHAs.
The supply of ready to go (zoned and serviced) greenfield land is 6.5 years (1.5 years
over the Auckland Plan minimum target of 5 years) and up from 6.15 at the end of
Accord Year 2 with live-zonings of greenfield land at Huapai and Scott Point boosting
supply.
e. SHAs are delivering a significant land supply pipeline with 3.9 years of Future Urban
Zone land in SHAs over two Accord years.
14.
Housing Accord reporting is expanding in the third year of the Accord. Quarterly
monitoring reports in the first year of the Accord had a focus on SHAs established and
their potential yield, including their contribution to the overall supply of land for housing.
15.
In the second Accord year the emphasis moved toward the number of consents issued for
dwellings and sites within SHAs and across all parts of Auckland Council
16.
In the third year the emphasis will move again toward the number of homes actually
completed or under construction, particularly those that are directly attributable to the
Housing Accord and its supporting legislation, the Housing Accords and Special Housing
Areas Act 2013 (HASHAA). While the Accord and HASHAA have significantly reduced the
consenting part of the development timeline, the developer still needs to prepare and service
the site and build the new homes (or sell sites to a home building company).
17.
Please note the Accord target of 39,000 relates to consented sites and dwellings, not new
home completions.
18.
DPO analysis revealed that under HASHAA, from the time of a request for a SHA being
received, all end-to-end planning processes are being completed and resource consents are
being granted in as little as:
a. 13 months for greenfield sites (including plan variations); and
b. 11 months for brownfield sites which are able to use Unitary Plan zonings under the
Accord to enable more intensive residential development without plan change.
These times are significantly shorter in some cases one sixth- than the equivalent
processes under the Resource Management Act 2002.
19.
The third year of the Accord was always going to be the year when the effect of the Accord
would really become evident, noting that the majority of the Accords effect on housing
supply is not expected to peak until 2017/2018 -see Figure 1. Figure 2 illustrates how SHAs
will deliver approximately half of the current visible housing development pipeline. Please
note that these figures are based on developer intentions at the date of SHA establishment
and known others includes developments of five or more dwellings.
20.
The Development Programme Office (DPO), the Research Investigations and Monitoring
Unit (RIMU) and Regulatory Services are working on an expanded data set that will improve
future monitoring reports, including new home completions that are attributable to the
Housing Accords and Special Housing Area process. The results of this work will be
included in the next quarterly monitoring report and will play a significant part in the overall
Accord performance assessment. The first output from this analysis will also be presented
along with this report at the committee meeting.

The Development Programme Office will include a local board breakdown of data and an
evaluation of overall performance in local board areas against the issues raised by each
local board as part of the final report. Local Boards have had a role in the development of
councils response to SHA requests and in some cases their concerns have not been
sufficient to justify the rejection of a request. As SHA developments come to fruition there
will be an opportunity to evaluate the outcomes against the concerns that were raised. This
evaluation will be of relevance not just for the HASHA process, but also the intent and
implementation of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan provisions for higher density
housing, new growth areas and quality urban design.

Maori Impact Statement

25.
Maori organisations including Mana Whenua and Mataa Waka have participated in the SHA
programme as developers seeking to build homes for their own use or for commercial
purposes. Iwi organisations have also been involved in the SHA assessment process in the
later stages to help the DPO take account of the potential effect of SHA developments on iwi
values.
26.
In addition to the levels of data intended for reporting in Attachment 1, the end of Accord
report is an opportunity to consider and report on the extent to which Maori values have
been reflected in the overall outcomes of the Auckland Housing Accord.
Implementation Issues
27.
Implementation of the recommendations in this report will be through subsequent quarterly

reporting and the completion of an overall Auckland Housing Accord report by December
2016, led by the Development Programme Office in collaboration with the Ministry of
Business, Innovation and Employment. No additional resourcing is sought for this work.

AUCKLAND HOUSING ACCORD YEAR THREE MONITORING PROGRAMME

Introduction
Auckland is now in the third year of the Auckland Housing Accord and the Year 3 first Quarter
Monitoring Report (Attachment A) indicates good progress toward targets in Years 1 and 2 and a
good start to Year 3, with over 3,900 net sections/dwellings consented, almost 23% of target yield
with three remaining quarters to go for the year.
Item 12
ATTACHMENT B:
While the Monitoring Report enables a wider view of Aucklands housing activity and progress
towards Accord targets, it does not easily enable inspection of progress on an SHA-by-SHA basis.
As the Accord draws to a conclusion, the council will be doing all it can to ensure SHAs delivery as
much new housing as possible.
This addendum presents a proposal for reporting of progress in each of Aucklands 1551 special
housing areas (SHAs). This will help decision makers to look at the performance of individual
SHAs or groups of SHAs and determine for example whether there are further interventions by
council that may assist progress.
Levels of data held and processed by the Development Programme Office
The diagram below shows that in addition to data behind the Monitoring Report (Level 1), the DPO
collects two further levels of data on SHAs, each level contains considerably more detail than the
level above it.
Level 2 data comes from the DPOs SHA Dashboard and contains details about each SHA such
as area, dwelling yield, type (greenfield/brownfield), zoning as well as establishment details
(request date, Gazette date). The Dashboard also tracks the progress of master planning, plan
variations and consent applications. It monitors numbers of dwellings and sections actually
consented as well as dwellings built in each SHA2. The dashboard can be used to group SHAs by
Local Board Area or by Ward and can be used to raise alerts, using a traffic light system to
reflect good or poor SHA performance. This will provide for earlier visibility of infrastructure issues
that may be holding up SHA progress and contribute to their resolution by timely public agency
funding allocations or through infrastructure funding agreements with developers.
Level 3 collects data on a consent-by-consent basis. Over two years into the Accord, there are
now over 700 lines of data in the consents application database, detailing plan variation and
consenting activity being processed by the DPO in the SHAs. While this information is aggregated
Includes Tranche 10 special housing areas

The dashboard currently estimates completed dwellings in the SHA based on site inspections and
developer-provided information. The Operations Division is currently working on methodology that will
automate data collection on dwelling completions within SHAs and across the rest of Auckland, enabling
reporting on a monthly basis.

Page 73
Attachment B
The Committee will be familiar with quarterly Auckland Housing Accord monitoring reports
prepared jointly by the Council and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE).
It includes housing data for all of Auckland and for all SHAs at an aggregated level.
up into the Level 2 Dashboard and the Level 1 Monitoring Report, its complexity and detail means
that it is not useful to present in its entirety.
For the foreseeable future it is proposed that Level 2 SHA Dashboard will remain the primary
source of data for monitoring SHA performance. The DPO can also provide Level 3 summary data
to decision makers but it is not proposed to report on individual consents.
Attachment B
Item 12

14 April 2016
Better visibility of progress within special housing areas

As stated above, it is proposed that the primary window for viewing SHA information should be the
Level 2 SHA Dashboard.
As well as material in spreadsheet form showing the SHAs and their activity (A3 sample of
dashboard attached) it may be useful for decision makers to see at a glance SHAs that are
performing well and those that are inactive or developing slowly or where they are developing
under normal RMA consenting process rather than under HASHAA.
The DPO has prepared a number of charts to improve the visibility of SHA data. Charts 1, 2, 3 and
4 attached show initial samples of the proposed new Level 2 outputs. Chart 5 contains aggregated
yield information about all SHAs over time in terms of qualifying developments approved,
dwellings consented, dwellings completed and sections created.
Using the dashboard and charts, decision makers will be able to see details for each SHA,
including expected final yield, and progress toward achieving that yield, in terms of plan variations
completed, approved qualifying developments, dwellings consented and dwellings completed as
well as sections created (greenfield SHAs only).
Currently there is 700 lines of data in the consents database and reporting will focus on aggregate
data by type, area or timeframe rather than on individual consents.

File No.: CP2016/05217
Purpose
1.
To present to the Auckland Development Committee (ADC) the Auckland Council groups
current housing work programme/activities and seek endorsement of the proposed
direction for the 2016/17 housing forward work programme.
Executive summary
2.
In response to the October 2015 ADC resolutions related to the Chief Economists report
Housing supply, choice and affordability, staff have compiled a stock take of housing
activity underway or planned across the Council group.
3.
This work demonstrates that there is a significant amount of activity underway in the
housing area across the Council group. The Councils interventions are primarily supplybased, but also cover choice, quality, affordability, and information/alignment activity of a
cross-cutting nature.
4.
Staff have also assessed the options recommended in the Chief Economists report to
identify to what extent these recommendations have been or are being addressed. From
the assessment it is evident that many of the options recommended in the Chief
Economists report are already being addressed by Council.
5.
It is worth noting that Council has a broad placemaking role which is not explicitly targeted
at, i.e. it goes beyond, housing market efficiency or regulation. The existing tools available
to Council (for example, through land use planning) are applied to address/balance
multiple outcomes to improve Aucklands overall liveability. Housing is just one
component of this.
6.
Under the current housing work programme, Council is pursuing largely what it can within
current financial and legislative parameters, for example, through infrastructure provision,
efficient consenting, Special Housing Areas and the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy.
7.
It is recommended that Council continues and completes the current substantive housing
programme of work. Although this will take up the majority of Councils effort, there is
some capacity to explore new thinking on housing (potential new tools, ideas and
approaches). Council endorsement is sought to explore this new thinking as part of the
2016-17 housing forward work programme. This is likely to require
partnership/engagement with Central Government and other parties.
Recommendations
a)
note that many of the recommendations in the Chief Economists report, Housing
supply, choice and affordability are already being addressed by the Council.
b)
endorse continuation and completion of the current substantive housing programme

of work already underway across the Auckland Council group.
c)
agree to explore new areas of thinking on potential tools, ideas and approaches as
part of the 2016-17 housing forward work programme, noting that it is likely to require
partnership/engagement with Central Government and other parties.

Item 13
Comments
8.
On 15 October 2015, the ADC considered a report from the Chief Economist, Housing
supply, choice and affordability (the Report). In response to the resolutions on this Report
[ADC/2015/196], staff have undertaken work to:
a. provide a current understanding of housing activity underway or planned across the
Council group and draw this together as an integrated picture;
b. assess the options recommended by the Chief Economist in the Report to identify those
which already have activity underway to progress them (in part or full), those that do not,
and those which are not consistent with Council policy, and;
c. from the findings of this work, propose a direction for the 2016-17 housing forward work
programme.
National and international context

9.
Housing is a complex issue and a challenge for high growth cities internationally. It is a key
focus for Central Government and an issue of national significance.
10.
This is reflected in the number of initiatives underway this year as part of a wider reform
programme led by Central Government, all of which have an impact on housing. These
initiatives include the development of a National Policy Statement on Urban Development,
the Productivity Commission Better Urban Planning Inquiry and the Resource Legislation
Amendment Bill.
11.
From reviews of international research on housing, it is clear that Auckland is not unique and
there is no silver bullet which can address housing affordability a package of interventions
is needed.
Auckland context - housing definitions

12.
The Auckland Plan sets out definitions of housing concepts that provide useful context for
this report.
a. Housing affordability a households capacity to pay to rent or purchase a home
(influenced by a range of demand and supply side factors)
b. Affordable housing housing designed to meet the needs of low to moderate income
households requiring some form of assistance (a subsidy or intervention)
c. Social housing subsidised rental housing for people on the lowest incomes, unable to
pay private market rates and unlikely to be able to own their own home; or who are
vulnerable and/or have special needs.
Current housing work programme

13.
Staff have prepared an integrated picture of the current Council group housing work
programme (see Attachment A - Auckland Council Group Housing Activity Stocktake April
2016). The stocktake covers current and planned housing activity across the Council group,
including any joint activity with Government (activity at conceptual stage or not yet resourced
has not been included). Housing fora and steering groups are out of scope.
14.
The stocktake demonstrates that:

a. there is a significant amount of work underway in the housing area across the Council
group
b. Councils interventions are primarily supply-based, but also cover choice, quality,
affordability, and information/alignment activity of a cross-cutting nature.
15.
Significant infrastructure investment and delivery programmes are also underway which
underpin the current work programme (e.g. via Auckland Transport, Watercare Services
Limited). These are critical in ensuring land can be developed and serviced.
Page 102

14 April 2016
16.
The Chief Economists Report identified a long list of 34 potential options to address housing
affordability. Of those, the Chief Economist suggested that nine not be pursued and/or that
they are adequately looked after by other parties.
17.
The table at Attachment B - Status analysis of identified options from the Chief Economists
Report: Housing supply, choice and affordability (October 2015) presents a summary of the
remaining 25 options recommended in the Report. The table identifies those options which
do or do not have activity underway to progress them (in part or full), and those options
which are not consistent with current Council policy.
18.
What is evident from this assessment is that many of the options recommended in the report
are already being addressed by Council (in part or full).
19.
It is worth reflecting that Council has a broad placemaking role which is not explicitly
targeted at, i.e. it goes beyond, housing market efficiency/regulation. The existing tools
available to Council (for example, through land use planning) are applied to address/balance
multiple outcomes to improve Aucklands overall liveability. Housing is just one component
of this.
20.
In reflecting on the current housing work programme, Council is pursuing largely what it can
within current financial and legislative parameters, for example through infrastructure
provision, efficient consenting, Special Housing Areas and the Future Urban Land Supply
Strategy.
Proposed direction for 2016-17 housing work programme

21.
As highlighted earlier in this report, there is currently a substantive housing programme work
already underway across the Council group that takes up the majority of Councils effort. It
is recommended that Council continues and completes this work. There is however some
capacity to explore new thinking on housing. The Committees endorsement is sought to
explore this new thinking as part of the 2016-17 housing forward work programme.
22.
There is an opportunity to focus this new thinking on potential new tools, ideas and
approaches. This would draw from international experience/research of cities with similar
growth profiles and challenges. This work would likely require partnership/engagement with
Central Government and other parties.
23.
Staff have identified potential areas for exploration as part of this new thinking which include,
but are not limited to:
a)
Housing market efficiency
b)
Land price appreciation
c)
For example: How can society capture some of the benefits that accrue as a result
of investments/planning decisions made by public entities?
Alternative financing/new revenue streams for infrastructure
d)
For example: How can the housing market be encouraged to be more efficient? It
is noteworthy that there is no equivalent of the Financial Markets Authority for the
housing market.
For example: What additional tools, ideas and approaches could be explored to
support the infrastructure investments required for a growing city-region? Note: the
Alternative Financing Project will be reporting back on this during 2016.
Direct development role for public sector
For example: Is there a greater/more direct role for public sector entities to play in
housing/mixed use developments?
Page 103
Item 13
Options from the Chief Economist Report

14 April 2016
Item 13
e)
New housing ownership/leasing models and expectations
For example: What other models exist to support home ownership/leasing and
what roles exist for government, the private sector and the community in this
space?
24.
Exploratory work within these proposed areas is likely to identify a variety of tools, ideas and
approaches that present opportunities not just for Auckland but also other high growth areas
in New Zealand. Some ideas may also have been investigated by Council or other parties in
the past, but it could be time for these to be revisited.
25.
The detailed scope, timing and lead department/agency for each potential area is yet to be
developed.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
26.
The housing forward work programme is a region-wide programme. Local board chairs or
their nominees were invited to attend a related Auckland Development Committee workshop
on 29 March 2016 and provide feedback on the draft programme.

27.
The current housing forward work programme outlined in this report represents a high level
regional view of the activity underway across the Council group. It has been aligned to the
four Auckland Plan priorities of supply, choice, quality and affordability.
28.
Reflected within this programme are activities specifically targeted at improving Mori wellbeing. For example, this includes but is not limited to, Council support for papakainga and
Mori housing through Te Toa Takitini.

File No.: CP2016/06238
Purpose
1.
To present the findings from the first round of consultation for the Transport for Future Urban
Growth project.
Executive Summary
2.
The purpose of the Transport for Future Urban Growth project is to develop an integrated
future transport network and high level land use plan for Aucklands Future Urban zones in
the north, north west and south of Auckland, as identified in the notified Proposed Auckland
Unitary Plan.
3.
A long list of options for each growth area was developed and consulted on in February and
March 2016 during a series of public open days, stakeholder meetings and hui as well as
through online media. In total, over 770 people attended one of nine information sessions
and more than 620 feedback forms were completed.
4.
The key findings from this consultation fed into the development of a draft preferred
transport network for each area. The preferred option will go out for consultation in April and
May 2016.
Recommendation/s
a)
receive the update on consultation for Transport for Future Urban Growth.
Comments
5.
The notified Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (PAUP) identifies approximately 11,000
hectares of rural land for future urbanisation with the potential to accommodate
approximately 110,000 dwellings and accommodate approximately 50,000 jobs.
6.
Transport for Future Urban Growth (TFUG) is a joint project between Auckland Council,
Auckland Transport and the New Zealand Transport Agency that responds to this growth. It
seeks to develop a transport network that provides an integrated and multi-modal response
to the anticipated growth in future urban areas that reside outside the 2010 Metropolitan
Urban Limit, in line with Auckland Councils Future Urban Land Supply Strategy (FULSS). It
aims to provide integrated planning certainty that will assist the prioritisation of necessary
transport interventions over the next 30 years.
Consideration
7.
After a series of multi-agency workshops to develop a longlist of transport options for each
sub-regional area, consultation was undertaken with residents, key stakeholders and iwi
regarding potential transport network improvements. The objective of the consultation was
to understand current and future transport movements and resident views on the potential
network improvements for the area. The three key growth areas included in the consultation
were:
a)
The South: Takanini, Opaheke-Drury, Drury West, Paerata and Pukekohe
b)
The North: Warkworth, Wainui and Silverdale-Dairy Flat
c)
The North West: Whenuapai, Redhills, Kumeu-Huapai and Riverhead.

A copy of the TFUG consultation report is attached as Attachment A.
9.
The consultation took place from 18 February 17 March 2016 and included:
a)
30,000 households contacted about the project
b)
a series of information days in each area where attendees were invited to talk to the
project team, leave comments, fill out paper or online feedback forms available
through the Auckland Transport website or email feedback. Over the feedback period
there were 8,191 page views on the Auckland Transport web page for the project,
making it the most popular page on the AT website during that time. This was also
promoted on Auckland Councils ShapeAuckland website and OurAuckland publication
(digital and paper) and on Neighbourly.co.nz as well as other media
c)
iwi engagement with the following iwi:
Te Runanga o Ngati Whatua

Te Uri O Hau
Nga Maunga Whakahi o Kaipara
Ngati Whatua Orakei
Ngati Manuhiri
Te Kawerau a Maki
Te Akitai Waiohua
Ngai Tai ki Tamaki
Ngati Tamaoho
Te Ahiwaru
Ngati Te Ata
Ngati Paoa
Ngati Maru
d)
key stakeholder meetings including the Property Council and interested developers
with land in future urban areas
e)
comments on Transportblog were also gathered.
10.
Overall, most people agreed with the aspirations and issues outlined for transport in the
three growth areas.
11.
Key findings in the south included:

a) the need to improve public transport services (particularly rail) and new road connections
b) suggestions for improvements to rail including shorter journey times/introduction of
express services between Papakura and Pukekohe, and the extension of the rail
network to new locations, including Pokeno
c) a call for more rail stations in the south and more park and ride facilities. Residents in
the south had a strong preference for wanting to make trips by train
d) support for an alternative north-south route parallel to SH1 to reduce congestion on the
Southern Motorway and requests to provide an alternative route to the airport and to the
north west.
12.
Key findings in the north included:

a) the need for improvements to bus services, roads as well as new road connections in
order to reduce congestion, better cycling infrastructure and better public transport
generally
b) suggestions for improvements to bus services to include more frequent and express
services, separate busways and bus lanes, an extension of the northern busway and
increased local services that feed into longer distance services. Many people living in
the area would also prefer to make commuting journeys via bus
Page 112
c) many participants felt that transport networks and infrastructure were lagging behind
housing growth and development in the area, further contributing to existing traffic issues
d) almost universal support for the Northern Busway being extending to Silverdale/Orewa
e) the need to address congestion at the Hill Street intersection in Warkworth and
improving traffic flow through the area generally, developing the Western Collector and a
more connected network
f)
13.
majority support that a Matakana Link Road should extend further east to connect the
areas between Matakana Road and Sandspit Road.
Key findings in the north west included:

a) the need for improvements to public transport and good walking and cycling
connections.
b) strong support for extending commuter rail services to Huapai, with around half of
participants commenting that they would use extended rail services from Swanson
c) calls for improvements to traffic congestion in the area, which could be alleviated by
improvements to public transport services and/or road networks e.g. a Kumeu/Huapai
by-pass and/or a State Highway 16 to State Highway 18 direct connection
d) the need to improve safety on State Highway 16 including the intersection with the
Coatesville-Riverhead Highway
e) many residents felt that the current transport issues needed to be addressed urgently
and were frustrated that these issues had not already been addressed (especially the
safety issues on SH16)
f)
majority support for the planned north-western busway from the CBD to Westgate to be
extended to Kumeu and the Constellation bus station, and that these should be futureproofed for light rail
g) most participants preferred that State Highway 16 through Kumeu and Huapai be
changed into an urban road as the area changes with a new high capacity parallel
corridor created.
14.
The engagement period for iwi started in November 2015 and will be completed in June
2016. Key findings from mana whenua feedback on the draft preferred network to date are
noted below in paragraph 24.
15.
These key findings were reported back to the project team and considered during the
evaluation workshops to identify a draft preferred network for each area. This draft preferred
network will go out to the public, key stakeholders and iwi for consultation in April and May of
2016. A similar approach to engagement and reporting back will be taken as with previous
consultation, including a report back to the community with responses to major feedback
points and asking stakeholders and communities if we have it about right; what they like
about the proposed draft preferred network; and what they think could be improved in the
proposed draft preferred network.
Local Board views and implications

16.
This work has significant implications for local boards, particularly Rodney, Upper Harbour,
Henderson-Massey, tara-Papatotoe, Papakura, Manurewa and Franklin Local Boards, as
they contain areas of future urban land areas. As a result, there has been regular
engagement with the local boards who have Future Urban Zones in their areas, as well as
other local boards who have requested an update, since November last year to keep them
updated on the long-listing process and outcomes and feedback has been received.
17.
Consultation on the short-listing process and outcomes with local boards is currently ongoing.
18.
Feedback to date has fed into the development of the draft preferred network.

19.
This work has significant implications for Mori and has the capacity to 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.
20.
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 that could be
looking to actively participate in urban development and to promote specific outcomes for
Auckland, the environment and for Mori. This would be achieved through partnerships,
investments and greater involvement in decision-making.
21.
A Mana Whenua engagement workstream has been developed for this project. The
purpose of this engagement is to:
a) provide information and seek feedback from Mana Whenua on the package of options
b) develop and integrate Mana Whenua criteria and objectives into the mutli-criteria
assessment for the project
c) provide a platform for on-going engagement with Mana Whenua in the future phases of
the project.
22.
As the project is a regional project, the project has invited 19 iwi kaitiaki to engage and one
presentation to Independent Mori Statutory Board staff members has been undertaken.
The project relies on the regular hui established by Auckland Transport and NZTA. The
following iwi have participated in the iwi engagements for this project:
23.
Te Runanga o Ngati Whatua

Te Uri O Hau
Nga Maunga Whakahi o Kaipara
Ngati Whatua Orakei
Ngati Manuhiri
Te Kawerau a Maki
Te Akitai Waiohua
Ngai Tai ki Tamaki
Ngati Tamaoho
Te Ahiwaru
Ngati Te Ata
Ngati Paoa
Ngati Maru.
Individual iwi have provided feedback on the preferred the preferred network. The themes
from this engagement included:
a)
iwi need to understand the implications of the options on further development in the
areas
b)
iwi recognise that any of the options will have an impact on their interests and that
development needs to be done in a way that aims to improve important values
c)
specific iwi have specific local concerns that ought to be considered
d)
iwi want to understand how the feedback is being integrated into the options and
decision-making. Mana Whenua wish to be at the decision-making tables for the final
network
e)
that the options are present at a conceptual level and make it difficult to assess the
actual impact on its values.
Page 114
24.
A set of Mana Whenua values is being developed through Mana Whenua workshops setting
out the generic values to be included in the Multi Criteria Assessment (MCA) for the project.
One set of matters that the options must be assessed against is Reflecting Mana Whenua
Values.
25.
A workshop with Mana Whenua aimed to understand what makes up Mana Whenua values
for the purpose of this project. As part of the assessment, Mana Whenua will assess the
options against the following Mana Whenua values which will provide an assessment
framework for Mana Whenua values:
a) papakainga, Mori land and Marae (existing and future)
b) Mana Whenua heritage (tangible and intangible)
c) giving effect to Treaty settlement outcomes and the principle of redress
d) Te Taiao (air, land, water, coast, taonga)
e) Mana Whenua wellbeing.
26.
It is anticipated that the Mana Whenua values framework will carry through to the detailed
phases of the project.
27.
All information on the project will continue to be sent to the 19 iwi to enable an ongoing
opportunity for engagement. Additional workshops and one-on-one engagements with iwi
where they are unable to attend have been provided and taken up by iwi.
Implementation
28.
This work will feed into a Programme Business Case to identify long-term (30 year) transport
infrastructure requirements for future urban areas.
