Port Future Study Update Page 21

Port Future Study Update

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 DrRick Boven, the Independent Chair of the Study, to give a verbal report on the process thusfar and answer any questions Committee members may have.

Executive Summary2. The Port Future Study has appointed consultants and made significant progress in its

methodology towards a recommendation to the Auckland Development Committee later thisyear. On its current trajectory, the study will report at the Committee’s July meeting. Sincethe last chairman’s report in October 2015, the broader Reference Group has met twiceduring February and April of this year. The Consensus Working Group continues to work

closely with its consultants, directing their methodology and building its own understandingof the issues.


a) receive a verbal update from Dr Rick Boven, Independent Chair for the Port FutureStudy.

b) receive the background report on the progress of the Port Future Study.

Comments3. On 1 April 2015 the Auckland Development Committee resolved to commence the Port

Future Study (Resolution No. AUC/2015/61). Consistent with the Committee’s subsequentresolution on 14 May (Resolution number AUC/2015/95), a collaborative Māori andstakeholder process was established to investigate the long term future of Auckland’s port.

4. As directed, two groups have been established from stakeholder organisations and manawhenua: a broader Reference Group and a smaller Consensus Working Group (CWG). TheReference Group consists of around 80 members and held its first meeting in September2015.

5. On 15 October 2015, the Auckland Development Committee received an update and theStudy 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 CWGrecommendations to the Auckland Development Committee in July.

7. The CWG continues to meet regularly and gain a shared understanding of the issues as wellas work closely with the consultants as they progress their methodology.

8. The consortium’s methodology reflects the Study Scope. It first identifies a longlist oflocation options that are theoretically technically feasible for an alternative port location. Thislist (Attachment A) was distributed to the Reference Group and made available to the mediain February 2016.

9. At this second meeting of the Reference Group in February, the CWG and consultantsreceived valuable feedback on the project methodology, longlist of port location areas andassessment criteria.

Auckland Housing Accord Reporting Page 25

Auckland Housing Accord Reporting

File No.: CP2016/02290

Purpose

1. This report includes an update on the monitoring and reporting programme for the AucklandHousing Accord (the Accord) and particularly the monitoring and reporting of progress inSpecial Housing Areas (SHAs).

2. It also seeks the Committee’s endorsement of the proposed Auckland Housing Accordmonitoring and reporting programme to December 2016.

Executive Summary3. 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, andproviding potential for 56,000 new homes across Auckland. They also released the AucklandHousing Accord First Quarterly Monitoring Report for the Third Accord Year (covering theperiod 1 October to 31 December 2015) (see Attachment A).

4. That report indicated that at 31 December 2015 there was good progress toward the overallthree year Accord target of 39,000 sites and dwellings. The next quarterly monitoring reportcovering 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 isincreasing interest in the performance of SHAs in the delivery of new homes, and thepresentation 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 ofthis report, there is a large amount of activity in SHAs in the form of earthworks and dwellingconstruction 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 2016that will build on existing reporting and provide significantly more information on progresswithin SHAs including home completions and photos of completed or under-constructiondevelopments.

8. Accord monitoring now opearates at three levels:

Level 1: Mainly performance against Housing Accord targets and overall consenting activityin 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 foroccupation.

9. Future quarterly reports will include more Level 2 information and summary Level 3information. 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 isdemonstrated in Attachment C. The areas shown are:

a. 12 of the 42 SHAs where consented dwelling construction and earthwork activity / sitepreparation is taking place;

b. 12 of the total of 154 SHAs (Tranches 1-10), including 893 (56 per cent) dwellingsconsented 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);


26/121

Item 12


14 April 2016


d. 270 hectares (11 per cent) of the Future Urban Land (FUZ) supply pipeline throughSHAs 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 atfull 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 notyet have building consents for home construction.

11. SHA consenting will peak in 2017 or later but actual development activity and dwellingcompletions will probably peak a year or two after consenting activity peaks. The Accordends on 16 September 2016 but consent applications already lodged can continue to beprocessed under HASHAA.

12. A comprehensive Housing Accord Three Year report is also proposed for presentation to theCommittee by December 2016. As with quarterly monitoring reports it is proposed that it beprepared jointly with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. The Ministry hasendorsed this proposal.


a) receive the Auckland Housing Accord Monitoring Report for Quarter 1 of Year 3

b) note that Auckland Housing Accord monitoring indicates that:

i) at 31 December 2015 the year 3 target of 17,000 consented dwellings andsites and the total three year target of 39,000 consented dwellings and sitescontinued to be achievable, noting also that the building consent figures forJanuary and February 2016 have also been positive;

ii) good progress is being made toward a more comprehensive set of SpecialHousing Area performance data, including reliable figures for new home

completions consented under the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act 2013.

c) note that:

i) with the inclusion of Tranche 10, Special Housing Areas will enabledevelopment of approximately 56,000 dwellings across Auckland and almost2,500 hectares of Future Urban Zone land.

ii) this 2,500 hectares represents approximately one quarter of the anticipated 30year greenfield land supply anticipated by the Auckland Plan and shown in theProposed Auckland Unitary Plan.

iii) the greenfield SHAs make full use of available bulk infrastructure capacity andprovide a very large area for developers to deliver accelerated greenfieldhousing developments.

d) agree the proposed composition of future quarterly monitoring reports will be asdescribed in this report, with increasing detail on activity in each of the specialhousing areas, subject to commercial sensitivity and the privacy of home buyers oroccupants:

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)

2. Under assessment (consents and plan variations)

3. Plan variations approved

4. Resource consents approved

5. Building consents approved

6. Under construction;

Level 2. Further information for each SHA:

i. Time analysis of progress from SHA request through establishment,masterplanning and consenting stages to current state ofdevelopment

ii. Description of the development typology –mix of zones, land usesand built form;

iii. Infrastructure requirements, issue resolution and agreements

Level 3. Summary information about

i. Qualifying development application and approval dates and asummary of what was approved

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

iii. Works commencement dates

iv. Construction completion dates

e) agree to receive a detailed Auckland Housing Accord assessment report that will beprepared in collaboration with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employmentby December 2016 and describes overall achievement against the Special Housing Area objectives of the Auckland Housing Accord.

Discussion13. 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 inthe first quarter of Year 3 was 3,902, which is 23 per cent of the 17,000 target. The fullyear 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 thebest 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 by1,619 from 7,632 dwellings)

iii. 4,066 dwellings in multi-unit buildings were issued with building consents in the12 months to December 2015, up by over 1,133 from 2,933 in the same period inthe previous year

iv. multi-unit dwellings accounting for 44 per cent of new dwellings were issued withbuilding consents in the 12 months to December 2015.

c. In November and December 2015, 966 and 947 new dwellings were consentedrespectively. 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.


28/121

Item 12


14 April 2016


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 yearsover 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 boostingsupply.

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. Quarterlymonitoring reports in the first year of the Accord had a focus on SHAs established andtheir 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 fordwellings 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 actuallycompleted or under construction, particularly those that are directly attributable to theHousing 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 servicethe 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 newhome completions.

18. DPO analysis revealed that under HASHAA, from the time of a request for a SHA beingreceived, all end-to-end planning processes are being completed and resource consents arebeing 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 equivalentprocesses 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 Accordwould really become evident, noting that the majority of the Accord’s effect on housingsupply is not expected to peak until 2017/2018 -see Figure 1. Figure 2 illustrates how SHAswill deliver approximately half of the current visible housing development pipeline. Pleasenote that these figures are based on developer intentions at the date of SHA establishmentand “known others” includes developments of f ive or more dwellings.

20. The Development Programme Office (DPO), the Research Investigations and MonitoringUnit (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 theHousing Accords and Special Housing Area process. The results of this work will beincluded 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 presentedalong with this report at the committee meeting.

Item 12


14 April 2016


21. Attachment B lists the levels and types of data that will be captured

Level 1 represents the content of existing monitoring reports:

a. Dwelling consents Auckland-wide: last 12 months / last 3 months

b. Progress in SHAs (see Attachment C for examples):

i. Pre-application stage (consents and plan variations)

ii. Under assessment (consents and plan variations)

iii. Plan variations approved

iv. Resource consents approved

v. Building consents approved

vi. Under construction.

Level 2 lists intended 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 lists intended further information about each consent:

i. Qualifying development application and approval dates and a summary of whatwas approved

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

iii. Works commencement date

iv. Construction completion date22. It is not proposed to include full Level 3 detail in monitoring reports but summaries will be

included.

23. The Development Programme Office proposes to prepare a detailed end of Accordassessment report in collaboration with the Ministry of Business, Innovation andEmployment (MBIE) and reported to this committee by December 2016. The scope of thisreport will be a matter for ADC discussion and input.

Consideration

Local Board Views

24. The Development Programme Office will include a local board breakdown of data and anevaluation of overall performance in local board areas against the issues raised by eachlocal board as part of the final report. Local Boards have had a role in the development ofcouncil’s response to SHA requests and in some cases their concerns have not beensufficient to justify the rejection of a request. As SHA developments come to fruition therewill be an opportunity to evaluate the outcomes against the concerns that were raised. Thisevaluation will be of relevance not just for the HASHA process, but also the intent andimplementation of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan provisions for higher densityhousing, new growth areas and quality urban design.

Maori Impact Statement

25. Maori organisations including Mana Whenua and Mataa Waka have participated in the SHAprogramme as developers seeking to build homes for their own use or for commercialpurposes. Iwi organisations have also been involved in the SHA assessment process in thelater stages to help the DPO take account of the potential effect of SHA developments on iwivalues.

26. In addition to the levels of data intended for reporting in Attachment 1, the end of Accordreport is an opportunity to consider and report on the extent to which Maori values havebeen reflected in the overall outcomes of the Auckland Housing Accord.

Implementation Issues27. Implementation of the recommendations in this report will be through subsequent quarterly

reporting and the completion of an overall Auckland Housing Accord report by December2016, led by the Development Programme Office in collaboration with the Ministry ofBusiness, 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 QuarterMonitoring 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.

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.

While the Monitoring Report enables a wider view of Auckland’s 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 Auckland’s 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 DPO’s 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

1 Includes Tranche 10 special housing areas

2 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 willautomate data collection on dwelling completions within SHAs and across the rest of Auckland, enablingreporting on a monthly basis.

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.

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 aggregatedata by type, area or timeframe rather than on individual consents.

Housing forward work programme Page 101

Housing forward work programme

File No.: CP2016/05217

Purpose

1. To present to the Auckland Development Committee (ADC) the Auckland Council group’scurrent housing work programme/activities and seek endorsement of the proposeddirection for the 2016/17 housing forward work programme.

Executive summary2. In response to the October 2015 ADC resolutions related to the Chief Economist’s report

“Housing supply, choice and affordability ”, staff have compiled a stock take of housingactivity underway or planned across the Council group.

3. This work demonstrates that there is a significant amount of activity underway in thehousing area across the Council group. The Council’s interventions are primarily supply-based, but also cover choice, quality, affordability, and information/alignment activity of across-cutting nature.

4. Staff have also assessed the options recommended in the Chief Economist’s report toidentify to what extent these recommendations have been or are being addressed. Fromthe assessment it is evident that many of the options recommended in the ChiefEconomist’s report are already being addr essed by Council.

5. It is worth noting that Council has a broad placemaking role which is not explicitly targetedat, i.e. it goes beyond, housing market efficiency or regulation. The existing tools availableto Council (for example, through land use planning) are applied to address/balancemultiple outcomes to improve Auckland’s overall liveability. Housing is just onecomponent of this.

6. Under the current housing work programme, Council is pursuing largely what it can withincurrent 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 housingprogramme of work. Although this will take up the majority of Council’s effort, there issome capacity to explore new thinking on housing (potential new tools, ideas andapproaches). Council endorsement is sought to explore this new thinking as part of the2016-17 housing forward work programme. This is likely to requirepartnership/engagement with Central Government and other parties.

RecommendationsThat the Auckland Development Committee:

a) note that many of the recommendations in the Chief Economist’s report, “Housingsupply, choice and affordability” are already being addressed by the Council.

b) endorse continuation and completion of the current substantive housing programmeof work already underway across the Auckland Council group.

c) agree to explore new areas of thinking on potential tools, ideas and approaches aspart of the 2016-17 housing forward work programme, noting that it is likely to requirepartnership/engagement with Central Government and other parties.

Item 13


14 April 2016


Comments8. 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 workprogramme.

National and international context

9. Housing is a complex issue and a challenge for high growth cities internationally. It is a keyfocus 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. Theseinitiatives 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 andthere is no ‘silver bullet’ which can address housing affordability – a package of interventionsis needed.

Auckland context - housing definitions

12. The Auckland Plan sets out definitions of housing concepts that provide useful context forthis report.

a. Housing affordability – a household’s 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 incomehouseholds requiring some form of assistance (a subsidy or intervention)

c. Social housing – subsidised rental housing for people on the lowest incomes, unable topay private market rates and unlikely to be able to own their own home; or who arevulnerable and/or have special needs.

Current housing work programme

13. Staff have prepared an integrated picture of the current Council group housing workprogramme (see Attachment A - Auckland Council Group Housing Activity Stocktake April2016 ). 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 resourcedhas 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 Councilgroup

b. Council’s 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 ServicesLimited). These are critical in ensuring land can be developed and serviced.

Options from the Chief Economist Report

16. The Chief Economist’s Report identified a long list of34 potential options to address housingaffordability. Of those, the Chief Economist suggested that nine not be pursued and/or thatthey are adequately looked after by other parties.

17. The table at Attachment B - Status analysis of identified options from the Chief Economist’s

Report: Housing supply, choice and affordability (October 2015) presents a summary of theremaining 25 options recommended in the Report. The table identifies those options whichdo or do not have activity underway to progress them (in part or full), and those optionswhich are not consistent with current Council policy.

18. What is evident from this assessment is that many of the options recommended in the reportare already being addressed by Council (in part or full).

19. It is worth reflecting that Council has a broad placemaking role which is not explicitlytargeted at, i.e. it goes beyond, housing market efficiency/regulation. The existing toolsavailable to Council (for example, through land use planning) are applied to address/balancemultiple outcomes to improve Auckland’s overall liveability. Housing is just one componentof this.

20. In reflecting on the current housing work programme, Council is pursuing largely what it canwithin current financial and legislative parameters, for example through infrastructureprovision, efficient consenting, Special Housing Areas and the Future Urban Land SupplyStrategy.

Proposed direction for 2016-17 housing work programme

21. As highlighted earlier in this report, there is currently a substantive housing programme workalready underway acr oss the Council group that takes up the majority of Council’s effort. Itis recommended that Council continues and completes this work. There is however somecapacity to explore new thinking on housing. The Committee’s endorsement is sought toexplore 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 andapproaches. This would draw from international experience/research of cities with similargrowth profiles and challenges. This work would likely require partnership/engagement withCentral 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

For example: How can the housing market be encouraged to be more efficient? Itis noteworthy that there is no equivalent of the Financial Markets Authority for thehousing market.

b) Land price appreciation

For example: How can society capture some of the benefits that accrue as a resultof investments/planning decisions made by public entities?

c) Alternative financing/new revenue streams for infrastructure

For example: What additional tools, ideas and approaches could be explored tosupport the infrastructure investments required for a growing city-region? Note: the Alternative Financing Project will be reporting back on this during 2016.

d) 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?

e) New housing ownership/leasing models and expectations

For example: What other models exist to support home ownership/leasing andwhat roles exist for government, the private sector and the community in thisspace?

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 areasin New Zealand. Some ideas may also have been investigated by Council or other parties inthe 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 bedeveloped.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

26. The housing forward work programme is a region-wide programme. Local board chairs ortheir nominees were invited to attend a related Auckland Development Committee workshop

on 29 March 2016 and provide feedback on the draft programme.

Māori impact statement27. 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 thefour Auckland Plan priorities of supply, choice, quality and affordability.

28. Reflected within this programme are activities specifically targeted at improving Māori well-being. For example, this includes but is not limited to, Council support for papakainga andMāori housing through Te Toa Takitini.

Transport for Future Urban Growth update

File No.: CP2016/06238

Purpose

1. To present the findings from the first round of consultation for the Transport for Future UrbanGrowth project.

Executive Summary2. 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 Auckland’s Future Urban zones inthe north, north west and south of Auckland, as identified in the notified Proposed AucklandUnitary Plan.

3. A long list of options for each growth area was developed and consulted on in February andMarch 2016 during a series of public open days, stakeholder meetings and hui as well asthrough online media. In total, over 770 people attended one of nine information sessionsand more than 620 feedback forms were completed.

4. The key findings from this consultation fed into the development of a draft preferredtransport network for each area. The preferred option will go out for consultation in April andMay 2016.


a) receive the update on consultation for Transport for Future Urban Growth.

Comments5. The notified Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (PAUP) identifies approximately 11,000

hectares of rural land for future urbanisation with the potential to accommodateapproximately 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. Itseeks to develop a transport network that provides an integrated and multi-modal responseto the anticipated growth in future urban areas that reside outside the 2010 MetropolitanUrban Limit, in line with Auckland Council’s Future Urban Land Supply Strategy (FULSS). Itaims to provide integrated planning certainty that will assist the prioritisation of necessarytransport interventions over the next 30 years.

Consideration7. 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 iwiregarding potential transport network improvements. The objective of the consultation wasto understand current and future transport movements and resident views on the potentialnetwork improvements for the area. The three key growth areas included in the consultationwere:

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.
