Consideration

Local board views and implications9. The decisions requested on Private Plan Change 166 (Te Arai) to the District Plan are not a

matter for the delegated authority of the Rodney Local Board. Consequently the views of theLocal Board have not been sought.

Maori impact statement10. The Te Uri o Hau Claims Settlement Act 2002 established the rohe of Te Uri o Hau over the

Te Arai north forest block which is the area subject to Private Plan Change 166. The sitewas sold to Te Uri o Hau as part of their settlement agreement with the Crown.

11. The plan change provides an alternative subdivision and development entitlement for theland. The implementation of the plan change has the potential for a range of positive effectsfor Te Uri o Hau in terms of socio-economic development.

12. Ngati Manuhiri, a hapu of Ngati Wai, has an interest in the Te Arai south forest block. NgatiManuhiri lodged a submission in support of the plan change.

Implementation13. There will be some administrative costs associated with making Private Plan Change 166

(Te Arai) operative and consequential updating of the District Plan. These costs areprovided for in the Regional and Local Planning departmental budget.

Comments6. Private Plan Changes 12 and 38 to the Auckland Council District Plan (Papakura and

Franklin Sections), initiated by Stevenson introduced the Drury South Structure Plan torezone 361 hectares of existing rural and quarry zoned land for industrial and public openspace/storm water management purposes. Plan Changes 19 and 3 to the RPS and ALWPrespectively are associated plan changes promulgated by the council to allow for all relevantplanning matters to be considered holistically. Plan Change 19 involved a proposedextension of the Metropolitan Urban limits within the RPS whilst Plan Change 3 involvedproposed changes to the air quality management maps within the ALWP to provide for urbanand industrial air quality management areas over the Structure Plan area.

7. The plan changes were publicly notified on 4 September 2012. Three hundred and seventysix submissions and 18 further submissions were received. Following a hearing whichclosed on 24 July 2013, the councils decision to approve the four plan changes wi thamendments was released on 18 September 2013. Three appeals were received on theplan changes, being those from Auckland Transport, Drury and Ramarama ProtectionSociety and Nick deVisser/Teresa Hislop.

8. Auckland Transports appeal was settled by con sent order on 8 May 2014. The deVisser/Hislop appeal was withdrawn on 2 July 2014. The Drury and Ramarama Protection Societysappeal was settled on 16 July 2014 by consent order.

9. The Auckland Transport consent order involved amended district plan provisions to ensureappropriate consideration of access onto the Spine Road such that adverse effects on trafficsafety and flows will be avoided, remedied or mitigated as appropriate. In addition to theamendment of policy provisions, restricted discretionary activity resource consent would berequired for vehicle access off the Spine Road, if sites have frontage to other roads withinthe structure plan area.

10. The Drury and Ramarama Protection Society consent order involved amended plan change

provisions to address the Societys concerns in relation to storm water/flooding on propertiesupstream and downstream of the structure plan area. This is achieved through the inclusionof a number of amendments to the existing objectives, policies and rules. An additionalassessment criterion for subdivision and/or development applications has also been insertedto clarify that such applications will not result in increased flood risk upstream anddownstream of the structure plan area and that flood risk will be managed within thestructure plan area. Additionally the consent order also updated the structure plans andprovisions to identify that service stations and/or wastewater treatment plants are non-complying activities within the northern most area of land zoned Industrial 3.

11. Due to the size and complexity of the plan changes, a copy will be available on the AucklandCouncil website:http://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/EN/planspoliciesprojects/plansstrategies/DistrictRegionalPlans/franklindistrictplan/franklindistrictplanchangeindex/Pages/drurysouthstructureplanplanchange.aspx or on request by contacting Tam White on 3077253 or [email protected]

4. There are a number of Stage 1 actions that have a high degree of importance. Many ofthese actions have been completed and have also resulted in further recommendations oractions. These include:

1 (increase ability of ACPL to work / partner with others)

11 (investigate unregulated investment)

14 (development contributions deferrals)

16 (land value capture)

17 (inclusionary zoning in PAUP)

19 (end to end consenting)

20 (one deposit consents)

21 (building consent pre-approvals)

24 (landlord WOF scheme)

25 (social return on investment)

26 (Homestar rating)

5. There are also a number of partially completed Stage 1 actions that need to be finalised.Staff consider that effort should be put into completing and implementing these actions fromStage 1 of the Housing Action Plan rather than initiating the original Stage 2 of the workprogramme. Stage 2 work has now been superseded by other events including the AucklandHousing Accord.

6. It is therefore recommended that actions to be taken forward and the focus of future workare the activities outlined within Attachment 1 to this report.

7. The budget for this work is estimated to be in line with the Housing Action Plan work to date($120,000 per annum) and will be managed by existing resources within the Housing ProjectOffice with assistance from other areas of council on relevant actions.

Discussion13. A further review has been undertaken on the scope of the Housing Action Plan moving

forward.

14. The Auckland Housing Accord and recent HASHA legislation has set the direction for furtherinitiatives to improve housing affordability in Auckland. The outcome has meant that theHousing Project Office (HPO) was established to facilitate the identification of SpecialHousing Areas (SHAs), and to fast track the implementation of approvals and consenting forqualifying developments. The HPO is also the portal for housing strategy and policy,including the Housing Action Plan.

15. Work on the Accord is aligned to a number of areas of the Housing Action Plan. Forexample, priority area 7 on regulatory processes covers innovation. This area of work will beexpanded in practice as the HPO is delivering in a new regulatory environment. The HPOtakes a whole of council approach, with dedicated staff from councils CCOs, AucklandTransport and Watercare Services Limited and council asset managers e.g. stormwater.Emphasis is on having one council wide portal through the HPO for qualifying developmentconsents and SHA approvals and plan variations. Co-ordination of infrastructure delivery (at

the same time; in the same place) is a key component of the one -stop shop HPO portaland a key criteria in the identification of special housing areas. A number of regulatoryinnovations are underway e.g. the HPO consenting team has worked with the NZ GreenBuilding Council to streamline the registration, assessment and audit of homes within SHAsto achieve the Homestar rating in the PAUP significantly reducing associated costs and time;working with the councils building control team it has also initiated a pilot option for planningself-certification for building consents checks subject to certain criteria to provide greaterchoice to an applicant; similarly it has introduced a new role of a project lead planner thatassumes all the roles of key relationship manager; project manager and is also the seniorconsent assessor to enhance the one stop shop concept and delivery of QD consents.

16. Council is also working closely with a number of groups on housing related issues. The

Government and Council are working together through working groups such as the JointOfficials Housing Working Group. Equally Council is working closely with the private sectorand third party housing suppliers to identify and resolve issues impacting on housing supplyand affordability.

17. Effectively the originally envisioned Stage 2 of the Housing Action Plan is already occurringvia other mechanisms, and therefore Stage 2 has been redefined.

Conclusion

18. That the focus of the Housing Action Plan moving forward be on delivering on the actionswithin Stage 1 and the associated sub-actions as detailed within this report.

19. That there be six monthly reporting against the actions to the Auckland Development

Committee.

Consideration

Maori impact statement20. In undertaking the workstreams and actions within the Housing Action Plan the HPO has

been working with Te Waka Angamua (TWA), the Independent Maori StatutoryBoard(IMSB), iwi, mana whenua, Urban Maori Trusts, mataawaaka organisations, centralgovernment and others to identify opportunities for papakainga and other types of housingand social infrastructure for Maori. This is consistent with affording a priority to thetransformational shifts in the Auckland Plan; including significantly lifting Maori social and

economic well-being.

Local Board Views21. The Local Board Chairs and members views have been sought during the drafting of the

Housing Action Plan Stage one via workshops. Individual boards have been engagedfurther where specific actions affect a local board area e.g. when sites were selected for thePlace Management Study; and also through the identification of Special Housing Areas.

Consultation22. As this project is about implementing the Auckland Plan, no specific public consultation is

planned. There was engagement with relevant external agencies, iwi, mana whenuamataawaka, business, property and community stakeholders in the preparation of theHousing Action Plan. The public is also consulted on specific regulatory policy mechanismsthrough the Unitary Plan process, including the March 2013 Addendum to the Draft UnitaryPlan that included the option for inclusionary zoning (Action 17 in the Housing Action Plan)and Land Value Capture (Action 16).

Financial and Resourcing Implications

23. Completion of the Housing Action Plan will be delivered within existing staff resources andapproved budgets. Any proposals that stem from the action plan e.g. a potential for an

Auckland Housing Bond (currently being investigated) will be reported to the committee withany associated financial implications. It is also noted that the Ministry of Business,Innovation & Employment (MBIE) are co-funding the cost of servicing residentialdevelopment and demand on infrastructure study.

Legal and Legislative Implications

24. There are no legal or legislative implications arising from this report. However, the Housing Action Plan supports Councils requirement to address cultural, economic, environmentaland social well-being across Council activities as required by the Local Government Act2002; and ensure that activities improve the well-being of communities as directed in the

Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009.

Implementation Issues25. The Housing Action Plan is an action identified in the Auckland Plan and this report is to

confirm its scope allows progress to be made.
