A4. Auckland Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI)20. Public information days and neighbourhood meetings were held in March with some 700

people attending and providing feedback on plans and proposals for the Panmure toPakuranga section of the wider AMETI project.

21. The Panmure to Pakuranga projects include:

Replacing Panmure roundabout with a signalised intersection including more direct

pedestrian crossings A dedicated Panmure to Pakuranga busway separated from general traffic

Cycle and foot paths from Panmure to Pakuranga

A second Panmure Bridge for the busway and a shared cycle/foot path.

22. The AMETI team is currently reviewing and considering feedback received from the latestconsultation round and is working towards finalising technical and specialists reports for theNotice of Requirement (NoR). The team is also formulating responses to people whoprovided feedback.

23. Work on the NoR and consents for the Panmure to Pakuranga section is on track to belodged with Auckland Council at the end of April.

A5. Redoubt Road-Mill Road Corridor project update24. Auckland Transport identified its preferred route for the northern section of the Redoubt

Road-Mill Road corridor upgrade and applied to Auckland Council in November 2014 todesignate land (Notices of Requirement) for the project.

25. The key reasons for the project are to provide for significant housing growth in the area andto improve the corridor’s poor safety record. Safeguarding this route will provide certainty toboth existing and future property owners on what land is required for the upgrade. Newhousing areas can then be built knowing where the transport infrastructure to support it willbe.

26. Auckland Council has advised it will publicly notify the Notice of Requirement in mid-April.Legislation requires at least 20 working days for submissions. A public hearing willsubsequently be held by independent commissioners to test Auckland Transport’s proposal.

27. Auckland Transport is organising two public information days on 17 April (11am to 2pm) and18 April (10am to 1pm) at Westfield Manukau, so interested people can find out more toassist with their submissions.

28. Any member of the public can make submissions on the proposal. Auckland Transportencourages people to make submissions if they have any concerns about the project or theassessments carried out.

29. Auckland Transport has already contacted affected property owners directly about theproject to discuss their land owner rights and the planning process, and has met with themajority of them.

A6. Consultation documents on proposed improvements30. Consultation documents for the following proposals have been provided to the Howick Local

Board for its feedback. As the Board’s transport portfolio holders are delegated to providefeedback on the Board’s behalf, the material below is included for general informationpurposes only.

31. Propos ed safety impro vements, Topland Drive and Stancom be Road intersect ion,Flatbush – visibility for vehicles exiting Topland Drive and for pedestrians crossingStancombe Road at that location is restricted by parked vehicles being too close to theintersection. Auckland Transport is proposing safety improvements at the intersection

including relocating the existing northern bus stop 35m eastwards, installing side islands atthe existing pedestrian refuge crossings on both sides of the road, installing 33m of ‘NoParking At All Times’ (NSAAT) parking restrictions and removing/trimming vegetation on theraised traffic island. The proposal is shown on the plan at Attachment A.

Howick Local Board

20 April 2015


32. Electronic 40km/h Schoo l Speed Zone (SSZ) for B otany Dow ns Secon dary Col lege,Ki lkenny Drive, Botany – Auckland Transport is planning to implement an SSZ for thisschool, consisting of a 40km/h speed limit during peak school traffic hours, on KilkennyDrive. This will be achieved by installing electronic 40km/h speed limit signs with alternatingflashing beacons on the road approaching the zone. Additionally, static 40km/h speed limitsigns displaying operating times will be installed on side roads approaching each zone. The

electronic signs operate at the beginning and end of each school day, and require motoriststo reduce their speed to below 40km/h during these times. The speed limit reverts to 50km/h when these signs are not in operation. The proposal is shown on the plan at Attachment B.

33. Electronic Scho ol Zone for Our Lady Star of the Sea Schoo l, Orangewoo d Drive,Northpark – Auckland Transport proposes to install electronic “School Zone” signs in thevicinity of this school. These electronic signs which are equipped with alternating flashingbeacons will be installed on the road approaching the school and will operate at thebeginning and end of each school day to increase driver awareness of the school, as well asreinforce driver expectation of the presence of children. Auckland Transport undertook anassessment, using criteria set down by the NZTA, to determine the appropriate electronicsignage for this location, which is expected to be installed by July 2015. The proposal is

shown on the plan at Attachment C.

34. Conversion of Passing Lane to Slow Vehicle Bay, Whit ford Road, Mangemang eroaGorge – Auckland Transport is committed to improving road safety and reducing the numberof people killed or injured on the road network, with a focus on high risk corridors. A safetyissue has been identified at the passing lane in Mangemangeroa Gorge on Whitford Road.Whitford Road has had 81 reported crashes in the past 5 years including one fatality and 25injury crashes, with six crashes on the westbound passing lane in the Gorge. The horizontalcurves throughout the passing lane are unsuitable for higher speeds, making it difficult forvehicles to overtake while safely negotiating the bends. Auckland Transport is thereforeproposing to convert the westbound passing lane to a slow vehicle bay, which will result inonly slow moving vehicles (mainly trucks) using the left lane and remove the incidence of

unsafe speeds in the right lane. The proposal is shown on the plan at Attachment D. Giventhe relatively short distance to the urban area, overtaking vehicles other than slow movingtrucks is not considered necessary. The eastbound passing lane on Whitford Road waspreviously converted to a slow vehicle bay and the incidence of crashes reduced as a result.

35. Electronic School Zone for Ormisto n Primary School, Helianthus Av enue, Ormisto n – Auckland Transport proposes to install electronic “School Zone” signs in the vicinity of thisschool. These electronic signs which are equipped with alternating flashing beacons will beinstalled on the road approaching the school and will operate at the beginning and end ofeach school day to increase driver awareness of the school, as well as reinforce driverexpectation of the presence of children. Auckland Transport undertook an assessment,using criteria set down by the NZTA, to determine the appropriate electronic signage for this

location, which is expected to be installed by July 2015. The proposal is shown on the planat Attachment E.

General Information Items

C2. Auckland rail patronage hits 13 million 51. On Monday 2 March the annual total for passenger trips passed 13 million for the first time,

an annual growth of 19% to the end of February. Auckland’s trains are now carrying 10,000more customers on a normal weekday than at this time last year.

52. Significant growth has been recorded on both the Onehunga and Eastern Lines, which nowrun only electric trains. Stations which have had major investment are also recording big

patronage growth, including passenger numbers having doubled at Panmure in the pastyear.

53. The stand-out performer is Manukau Station where numbers are up 176% for the year. Thatincrease ties in with the completion of the MIT campus and an increase in the number ofservices before Christmas.

54. Rail patronage on weekends has also increased significantly, which can be attributed toincreased rail services and fewer weekend rail network closures.

C3. Car share scheme55. Auckland Transport is looking for a car share operator to launch a large scale scheme in

Auckland, based on Plug-in Electric Vehicles.56. Auckland Transport has released a Request for Proposal (RFP) from car share operators to

create a scheme here. It would initially have 250 – 300 vehicles which Auckland Transportwill match with a similar number of car parks dedicated to care share vehicles. It’s expectedthat, in time, the fleet would increase to at least 500 cars.

57. A new large-scale scheme in Auckland would be a private venture with all significant costsborne by the operator, not by Auckland ratepayers. Auckland Transport’s main contributionwould be to designate dedicated car parks around the city.

58. Car share schemes are based on members who pay a membership fee which entitles themto use a scheme-owned car on demand, for which they pay a per-trip charge based upon thetime used.

59. There are already about five million people world-wide who are members of a car sharescheme and the numbers of both users and cities with a scheme are growing rapidly,changing transportation habits in the process.

60. Auckland already has a commercial car-share operator, called City Hop. There is also acommunity-based scheme, called NZ Car Sharing, on Waiheke Island. Auckland Transporthas worked with both, which are relatively small-scale operators, for a number of years andwill continue to do so.

C4. 2015 Public Transport Fare Review61. The focus of this year’s public transport fare review, announced by Auckland Transport on

16 March, is to better align short and long distance fares in preparation for a change to a

simpler zone based system (integrated fares) next year.

62. Improving the fare structure with integrated fares will allow the introduction of the NewNetwork which will see more frequent services on key routes at a minimum average of every15 minutes, 7am to 7pm, seven days a week.

63. Integrated fares, the introduction of the AT HOP card, electric trains, the first step towardsthe construction of the City Rail Link and an investigation of the benefits of light rail are allinitiatives designed to give Aucklanders choices.

64. The changes to public transport fares through the 2015 review include:

Small increases of 5-10 cents for stage one and two trips for those using the AT HOPcard

No increases on longer AT HOP trips on buses and trains, other than for stage five journeys which receive a tertiary concession

Stage six and seven child fares using AT HOP reduce

Some cash fares will increase by 50 cents to further encourage passengers to switch tousing AT HOP to receive fare discounts

Tertiary and child concession fares will now be available on the InnerLink bus service

There will also be some changes to pricing for the CityLink bus service now that anearlier subsidy has ended.

65. On average, fares contribute 47% to the total cost of providing public transport services – the remainder is provided through government (NZTA) contributions and rates subsidies.

66. For more: https://at.govt.nz/farechange

C5. Dedicated motorcycle parking67. Auckland Transport is gearing up for the increasing number of people using two wheels to

get to their destination by adding free, dedicated, motorcycle and scooter parking areas to its

CBD parking buildings, in addition to existing bicycle parking areas. There is also adedicated entry lane for motorbikes at the Downtown car park to complement the 112dedicated spaces installed.

68. The Civic car park has also been fitted out with more motorcycle and scooter parking andVictoria Street carpark will be developed in the near future.

C6. City Rail Link (CRL) Design Showcase69. A design showcase for the CRL’s three new stations and their adjacent public spaces will

give Aucklanders a peek into the future. The showcase is being held in an AucklandTransport Bus by the No.1 Café in QE11 Square, from 10am to 4pm daily between Saturday11 and Wednesday 15 April.

70. Each station, new ones at Aotea and Karangahape and a redeveloped Mt Eden, has beendesigned in partnership with Mana whenua, who shared their considerable knowledge of thelocal areas to provide a unique look and feel.

71. Visitors to the design showcase in mid-April will also find out how the first stage ofconstruction will roll out later this year.

72. For more information on the CRL visit:

74. There was wide interest from the New Zealand construction industry and AucklandTransport has appointed two Joint Venture contractors for the work; Downer NZ andSoletanche Bachy JV and Connectus (McConnell Dowell and Hawkins JV) for the first phaseof design at a cost of about $3 million. The next phase will provide for a negotiated contractto construct the CRL.

75. The Downer lead joint venture has been chosen to progress the CRL work through and

under Britomart Station and Queen Street to the Downtown Shopping Centre site withconstruction likely to start in early 2016.

76. The contract includes establishing temporary accommodation for Britomart Station’sticketing and customer service operations, underpinning the historic former Chief Post Officebuilding, to allow the construction of the rail tunnels beneath and reinstating BritomartStation and upgrading urban space and surrounding roads.

77. The Connectus Consortium will construct the cut and cover tunnels under and along AlbertStreet from Customs Street to Wyndham Street. The work is likely to start in October withthe relocation of a major stormwater line in Albert Street between Swanson and WellesleyStreets.

78. Once completed, CRL will turn a one way cul-de-sac rail system at Britomart into a two waythrough system that will be able to carry 30,000 people an hour, providing an efficient andreliable transport choice for Aucklanders.

AMETI – Park Land Proposals

File No.: CP2015/05288

Purpose

1. To seek the Local Boards views on the declaration of park land for road purposes underS114 of the Public Works Act (1981) for the Pakuranga Road section of the AMETI Project,and appropriate compensation.

Executive Summary2. The Auckland-Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI) involves a series of projects for

the eastern suburbs aimed at increasing public transport use, walking and cycling, andunlocking the economic potential of the area by dealing with traffic congestion on keytransport links.

3. The Howick side of the Panmure-Pakuranga Bridge project includes the construction of abus lane and cycle lane along Pakuranga Road.

4. This part of the AMETI project affects four parks (Kerswill Reserve, 18R Pakuranga RoadReserve, Kerswill Corner Reserve and 22R Pakuranga Road) and Auckland Transport (AT)is seeking to declare areas of these parks as road (totaling 2157m) under Section 114 of thePublic Works Act (1981).

5. To compensate the loss of this park land, AT is offering Auckland Council a section of landat 24 Pakuranga Road as a place holder until such time as final areas are determined.


a) Notes the declaration under S114 of the Public Works Act (1981) of the followingsections of park land for roading purposes:

i) 2R Pakuranga Road (248m2) NA99C/463 which describes Section 1 SurveyOffice Plan 66069.

ii) 18R Pakuranga Place Reserve (802m2), Lot 8 DP 44164, NA1801/32 - AucklandCouncil pursuant to Section 191 Municipal Corporations.

iii) 20R Pakuranga Road (607m2), Lot 1 DP 60871, NA1844/67 Auckland CouncilFreehold land.

iv) 22R Pakuranga Road (500m2), Lot 21 DP 44724, NA5C/221 - This freehold titleis currently held as an esplanade reserve.

b) Supports the following compensation proposal as a minimum for the park land to betaken for roading purposes noting that final compensation is subject to furthernegotiation. The parks portfolio holder be granted delegation for providing LocalBoard input to the full and final compensation on the condition that this may vary inlocation or area but should be at least of equal or greater value:

i) 24 Pakuranga Road (2345m2), Lot 19 DP 44724, CT-1634/58.

c) Requests that any and all compensation be redirected back to the Local Board forinvestment in open space with the preference, in the first instance, that this beprovided through replacement land area and where this is not possible the provisionof cash compensation.

Item 15

Howick Local Board

20 April 2015


Discussion6. AT is progressing the AMETI project along Pakuranga Road to improve public transport. The

project will provide separate cycling and bus lanes from the Panmure-Pakuranga Bridge tothe Pakuranga Town Centre. The improvements will connect to, and continue along LagoonDrive, to the Panmure roundabout.

7. Four parks will be affected by this stage of the AMETI project either in full or in part. Theyare as follows:

a. 2R Pakuranga Road or Kerswill Reserve (248m2) NA99C/463 which describesSection 1 Survey Office Plan 66069 (see Attachment A). AT is seeking to declare thefull reserve for roading purposes. The land currently functions as a road and will belocated under the proposed new Panmure-Pakuranga Bridge. AT proposes to retainthe vehicle access under the existing bridge.

b. 18R Pakuranga Road Reserve (802m2), Lot 8 DP 44164, NA1801/32 - AucklandCouncil pursuant to Section 191 Municipal Corporations (see Attachment A). AT isseeking to declare the full reserve for roading purposes to accommodate theproposed cycle way.

c. 20R Pakuranga Road or Kerswill Corner Reserve (607m2), Lot 1 DP 60871,NA1844/67 Auckland Council Freehold land (see Attachment B). AT is seeking todeclare the full site for roading purposes to accommodate the proposed cycle way.

d. 22R Pakuranga Road (500m2), Lot 21 DP 44724, NA5C/221 - This is currently heldas an esplanade reserve (see Attachment B). A partial declaration of land for roadingpurposes is required in this easement, again to accommodate the proposedpedestrian walkway and cycle way.

8. AT has also identified additional land at Ti Rakau Park and in adjacent areas, which may berequired for road for the AMETI works. The design for this section has not progressedsufficiently to confirm the area of the park land required. AT intends to confirm theserequirements later in 2015 and will seek to acquire these parks at that time.

9. To compensate for declaring the park land as road, AT has offered a section of land at 24Pakuranga Road (see Attachment C) as a place holder. The value of this land offeredexceeds the value of the park land to be acquired across both the Panmure Bridge end ofPakuranga Road and Ti Rakau Park areas of the project. However, AT acknowledges thatthe area of land likely to be finally acquired for these works is substantially more than thearea of land currently offered in compensation. AT is offering 24 Pakuranga Road incompensation with the expectation that the land will be managed as park. AT would ensurethat any buildings and debris are removed and the site reinstated and grassed. The landoffer is subject to confirmation from the AT Board.

10. The table below provides a summary of the parks likely to be affected by the AMETI project

and their valuations, and the land offered in compensation.Reserve Area (m2) Value

2R Pakuranga Road 248 $35,000

18R Pakuranga Place 802 $300,000

11. AT acknowledges that the land offer may not constitute the full and final compensationoption. The final compensation offer will be subject to determination of the total park areaand valuation information.

12. Should Auckland Council not reach an agreement on suitable land compensation thecompensation may be substituted with payment of the acquired land value.

Consideration

Local Board Views

13. AT has presented the AMETI park land acquisition requirements at three full board

discussions since mid-2014. AT has worked with the Parks, Sport and RecreationDepartment and Board members to:

Identify the park land required for the project works

Discuss issues and options associated with the land required, and

Present the offer of land as compensation for consideration.

14. The Local Board has expressed a preference for the area of park land taken to becompensated on a land for land basis where possible. AT has yet to confirm the fullcompensation offer and has requested Parks representatives to seek a recommendationfrom the Local Board on the interim park acquisition and compensation option.

Maori Impact Statement15. AT established a regular (monthly) hui with all iwi affected by the AMETI project at the start

of the project. These regular meetings provide an opportunity to consult with iwi on an on-going basis. AT has identified nine mana whenua groups with interests in the project areaand engages with these groups regularly and has sought MVA’s (Maori Values Assessment)from each in an effort to better understand the association and issues of each group withinthe project area.

16. This consultation has not specifically addressed the park land declaration and compensationproposals. Further consultation shall be undertaken as part of the NoR process.

Implementation Issues17. To declare the park land for road, AT is seeking to implement Section 114 of the Public

Works Act (Declaring Land to be Road). This section requires the signatures of

the body who controls or in whom the land is vested (Auckland Council)

AT as the roading authority (AT Board and AC Property Committee), and

the signature of Minister of Conservation (delegated to the council).

18. In seeking the approval of Council (in whom the land is vested), AT is seeking support forthe acquisition and compensation proposals from the Local Board. Approval will then besought from the Parks, Recreation and Sport Committee who have the delegation for theacquisition and disposal of park land.


42/151

Item 15

Howick Local Board

20 April 2015


19. Should the Local Board support the Section 114 (Declare land for Road) and thecompensation option of 24 Pakuranga Road, AT shall undertake public consultation on theland take in parallel to the consultation required for the NoR process. If the Local Board doesnot provide their support, AT shall include the park land required in the NoR process. TheNoR is expected to be lodged in late April 2015.

20. Finally, it should be noted that should AT declare the park land as road, the land wouldremain vested in Auckland Council, but would be managed by AT as road rather than by theLocal Board as park. The land provided by AT in compensation for declaring the park landas road will be vested as reserve.

10. These road names were submitted as part of this development reflect on the following:

Greerton Holdings Limited/Hugh Green Limited is wholly owned subsidiaries of Hugh GreenGroup. Hugh Green, the director and chairman of Hugh Green Group, originated fromDonegal in northwest Ireland and arrived in Auckland in 1953. The company was involved inmany land developments in the Flat Bush area including the Donegal Glen Stages 1 to 6 at89 Flat Bush School Road, which was completed in 2014.

The road names proposed were derived from places and towns from County Donegal innorthwest Ireland where Mr. Green originated. This is a common theme adopted by the Applicant and is consistently used on roads named in their previous land developmentswithin the Flat Bush area.

Decision Making

11. The Auckland Council, by way of the Auckland Council Long Term Plan (2012 - 2022),allocated the responsibility for the naming of new roads pursuant to section 319(1)(j) of theLocal Government Act 1974, to Local Boards.

(f) Not of possessive form;

(g) Has appropriate association with other names in the area;

(h) Not in poor taste or likely to cause offence and;

(i) Suffix for road name is suitable for road layout

13. There is a “Ballydonegan Rise” within the East Tamaki area that is considered to be similarto “Ballykerrigan Road”. However, Land Information New Zealand has noted that theproposed name, “Ballykerrigan” is unique and acceptable but have recommended that the

applicant avoid using the road suffix ‘Rise’ to avoid confusion. All of the proposed roadnames are consistent with the legacy road naming policy. Furthermore, the names proposedas part of this subdivision has appropriate association with other names in the area.

14. As the preferred road names of the Applicant (“Casheltown Way”, “Barnesmore Road”,“Ballykerrigan Road”, “Drumbuoy Drive”, “Creggan Crescent”, “Cloghfin Place”, “DrumfadRoad” and “Mullafin Road”) meets the criteria of the road naming policy, it is consideredappropriate that these names are recommended for approval to the Local Board.
