Purpose
1. This report updates Councillors on the draft Auckland Housing Accord (the Accord) and asks that the committee consider (and subject to any amendments) endorse Auckland Councils provisional submission on the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas (HASHA) Bill.
Executive Summary
2. In April 2013 the Minister of Housing, Hon Nick Smith and Aucklands Mayor approved the establishment of a Joint Officers Housing Working Party to assist the development of a draft Auckland Housing Accord. This draft Accord was released in May and is yet to be ratified by Council. The purpose of the Accord is to create conditions to improve housing supply and affordability, primarily through a new special regulatory and consenting framework. The Accord also provides for a commitment to joint action on associated housing issues such as the supply of skilled labour, building material costs and infrastructure funding and delivery. On 16 May 2013 the Government introduced the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Bill (the bill). The purpose of this bill is to enhance housing affordability by facilitating an increase in land and housing supply in places with significant supply or affordability issues. It is intended to provide a mechanism for central government to work with territorial authorities (TAs) to address housing supply and affordability issues, through the negotiation of housing accords. Key matters addressed in the bill are: a. b. criteria to determine which regions/districts have significant housing supply and affordability issues Identification of Auckland in Schedule 1 of the bill (the Schedule describes the regions/districts with housing supply/affordability issues. Currently Auckland is only listed). Housing Accords which allow the TAs to operate under new regulatory powers Process for determining Special Housing Areas within a region or district that is included in Schedule 1 Criteria for Qualifying Developments types of developments to which new resource consent and planning powers may apply More flexible/streamlined approval and consenting powers

c. d. e. f. 5.
The closing date for submissions to the bill was Thursday 30 May 2013, except that the Council received an approved extension until Tuesday 4 June 2013. As the Committee is aware following a Councillor workshop held on 27 May 2013, a provisional submission has been prepared for the Mayors and Deputy Mayors approval. At the time of writing, it was anticipated that this provisional submission would be dispatched to the Social Services Select Committee late afternoon of 4 June 2013. It will therefore be circulated under separate cover to this report. Key matters raised in the provisional submission are as follows: (i) the legislation, while NZ-wide, needs to have Auckland specific provisions in light of the Council having a draft Accord on which to base legislation that affects Auckland;

Item 9

Item 9
the legislation should give effect to an Accord, for Auckland this means any qualifying developments would be assessed against the provisions that will be included in the notified Unitary Plan and would only be effective once the Unitary Plan is notified; provision for notification of adjoining owners to any proposed qualifying developments within a Special Housing Area if their prior consent to a qualifying development is not obtained; provision for a review board to reconsider a hearing panel decision the removal of provisions that allow the Minister to over-ride a Territorial Authority.
(iii)
(iv) (v)
Recommendation/s
That the Auckland Plan Committee: a) Receive and consider the Councils provisional submission on the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Bill, together with any feedback from the Local Boards and the Independent Maori Statutory Board; Endorse (subject to any amendments) Auckland Councils provisional submission on the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Bill, noting the provisional submission makes the following key recommendations to the Social Services Select Committee: a. That clauses be inserted in the bill that require all decisions enabled by it to give effect to the Accord as well as the purpose of the bill b. That the bill be amended to reflect the Accord by requiring the limited notification of all applications for qualifying developments in Special Housing Areas (SHAs) where written consent of adjacent landowners is not obtained c. That the bill be amended to reflect the Accord by removing the requirement that consent applications in SHAs made in respect of activities prohibited in the Unitary Plan be processed as discretionary activities d. That the bill be amended to reflect the Accord regarding plan change requests, particularly in respect of the Accords prohibition of plan changes in brownfield areas and the requirement that applicants, rather than councils, prepare plan changes e. That the bill include provision for an appeal process in respect of consenting decisions for qualifying developments f. That section 22 of the bill be amended to recognise sections 9 to 15 of the RMA (clauses that mandate the requirement for consents to be obtained for noncomplying activities)
b)
g. That Auckland specific provisions be inserted in the bill to improve its workability and in recognition of Aucklands unique planning framework h. That the bill is clarified to ensure that applications for qualifying developments are undertaken in accordance with the bill, subject to the bill being amended to give effect to the negotiated Accord. It is crucial that qualifying developments are assessed against the notified Unitary Plan provisions and the particular considerations of the bill rather than the existing operative regional and district plans and policy statement i. That the bill require the timely implementation of consents granted under it, such as through shorter lapsing dates imposed on consents of 6 months for brownfields developments and 1 year for greenfields development (as defined
Page 8
Auckland Plan Committee 11 June 2013 in the negotiated Accord) j. That the clauses in the bill providing the government with the powers to override the planning and consenting functions of councils in respect of SHAs be deleted
k. That clauses 16, 23(2) 9(ii) and 82-85 of the bill be deleted or amended to ensure that the Council and the Minister agree to SHAs; and that the Minister cannot either refuse to agree, or later cancel the Accord and step in and take over establishing SHAs and approve qualifying developments in a form that may not be acceptable to the Council. That is, a more collaborative approach be included in the legislation to respect local democracy and the spirit of partnership between central and local government l. That there be acknowledgement that papakainga developments are part of the solution to Aucklands housing supply and that representation on hearing panels should include a member with Treaty of Waitangi / Tikanga Maori knowledge
c)
note that the Council is committed to signing the Accord provided that the provisions of the bill once enacted are consistent with, and would not undermine the intent or spirit of the Accord.
Discussion
7. The Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas (HASHA) Bill was introduced to Parliament as part of the governments budget measures on 16 May 2013. The purpose of the bill is to enhance housing affordability by facilitating an increase in land and housing supply in certain regions or districts. The bill was intended to give legal effect to the draft Auckland Housing Accord and enable Accords to be established in other parts of the country that face housing supply and affordability issues. Auckland Council has requested that it be heard by the Select Committee on a date subsequent to 11 June 2013 to enable the Auckland Plan Committee to give further consideration to feedback on the provisional submission prior to the final submission being presented to the Select Committee. A tentative date for a hearing before the Select Committee is 12 June 2013. As the committee is aware, the Auckland Plan identified housing supply, affordability, quality and choice as a significant issue impacting individual, family and community wellbeing, together with Aucklands economic future. Many actions have been undertaken, at pace, to respond to the need to improve housing opportunities in Auckland. These include the development of the draft Unitary Plan which promotes new opportunities for different housing types across Auckland and will identify 30 years land supply for future urban growth; the adoption of the Housing Action Plan in December 2012 with 32 actions primarily focused on non-regulatory options to complement the Unitary Plan; the development of an integrated forward land supply and infrastructure delivery programme; new development contribution initiatives in the 2012 LTP. At the same time, Council is fully aware that the delivery of housing in Auckland requires all parties to work together including Central Government, iwi authorities, private development sector and third party housing sectors. The draft Auckland Housing Accord is a further initiative between Central Government and the Council to improve housing supply and affordability. However, the bill, to enable Aucklands Housing Accord, includes a number of discrepancies from the Accord itself. The key concerns in this regard are listed below: The lack of balance in the bill with respect to prioritising the purpose of the Act over other considerations such as giving effect to the Accord; the application of all

provisions of the Unitary Plan in Special Housing Areas (SHAs); and the recognition of other matters that are inherent in the Accord and crucial to balanced decision making on residential consenting Discrepancies between the bill and the Accord regarding notification requirements The treatment of activities prohibited by the Unitary Plan as discretionary for purposes of consenting applications in SHAs Discrepancies between the bill and the Accord regarding plan changes and, in particular, the provision in the bill for plan changes in brownfield areas The lack of provision for the appeals to consenting decisions in relation to qualifying developments. The potential for the government to override council planning and consenting functions 11. The full provisional submission will be circulated under separate cover.
Consideration
Local Board Views
12. All Local Boards were invited to provide their views on the draft submission. At the time of writing, the views of five boards (Franklin, Orakei, Kaipatiki, Waitakere, Howick) were received and these are appended to the provisional Council submission (being circulated under separate cover). Every attempt was made to establish a Local Board briefing and workshop on the bill during the week of 4 June. However it has not been possible to provide a time for such a workshop owing to the short timeframe for submissions and the short working week. However, all Boards are able to continue to provide views and feedback on the bill on the basis that these can be attached to the final submission submitted to the Select Committee. An update and receipt of any further views or feedback from Local Boards can be presented to the committee on 11 June 2013.
Maori Impact Statement

13. The provision of affordable housing is a key issue for Maori. It is understood that the IMSB will be preparing its own submission to the Select Committee. A copy of that submission will be circulated under separate cover. It is noted that Councils provisional submission includes the importance of having a member of any hearings panel with Treaty of Waitangi / Tikanga Maori knowledge. Additionally, Councils submission includes reference to papakainga development and the contribution that it can make to improving housing supply.
General
14. The Council is continuing to make good progress on a number of related housing workstreams. These include feedback on the Housing Action Plan action 16 shared land value uplift, and action 17 inclusionary zoning. Financial evaluation of each of these options is being undertaken and will be reported back to the committee in July 2013. Workshops with CCOs, including Auckland Transport and Watercare Services Ltd are also underway so that an integrated forward land supply and infrastructure delivery programme is developed for the committees consideration. This work is continuing and can assist the future identification of any potential future special housing areas as well as inform the 30 year land supply and delivery programme.
Implementation Issues
15. The bill is intended to provide the mechanisms to give effect to the draft Auckland Housing Accord. The Council has indicated in its submission that it intends to sign the Accord subject to the bill being amended to align with the Accord. Other implementation issues will include

FRANKLIN LOCAL BOARD
Item 9 Attachment A
28 May 2013 The Franklin Local Board is supportive of the aims of the Auckland Housing Accord to increase housing supply and improve housing affordability through use of brownfield and greenfield land inside the proposed Rural Urban Boundary. Whilst the local board supports the Accord, it requests consistency with the principles put forward by the board during the development of the draft Unitary Plan, Rural Urban Boundary and Pukekohe Area Plan as follows: Protection of Elite Soils Franklin's elite soils need to be protected from fragmentation in line with the intent of the Auckland Plan and Unitary Plan to protect the rural economy and contain urban sprawl. In particular, Pukekohe's elite soils on the western side of the town need protection. Further rural productive land needs to be provided to supply food to the growing population and should be considered in commercial terms due to its importance to the economy. Residential development should be kept away from rural productive land and centred around existing settlements. Alignment with the Rural Urban Boundary (RUB) As well as the main RUB, individual RUBs should be determined for each settlement in Franklin to accommodate growth whilst retaining rural character. This will keep growth within defined areas and recognise the importance of productive rural land. Unplanned growth should be avoided, being contrary to the principles used in developing the RUB. Business and industrial growth, as well as residential growth, should be accommodated within the RUB. The RUB area around Pukekohe will be determined by the Area Plan, building on existing infrastructure. The planning and funding of appropriate infrastructure should be synchronised with growth i.e. water supply, wastewater treatment, stormwater management, roading projects, public transport and social and recreational infrastructure. Greenbelt Buffers Within developed residential areas, the dominant activities should be residential and business. These activities should be able to be conducted without being impacted by reverse sensitivity issues from rural productive land in the vicinity. Conversely, rural activities should be conducted without being impacted by reverse sensitivity from new residential development. Therefore, rural greenbelts should be retained between each settlement as a buffer and also between the main RUB and those settlements. The Countryside Living zone should be used as a mechanism to provide such a buffer, with a minimum lot size of one hectare.
Page 14
Alignment with the Pukekohe Area Plan Pukekohe is a priority satellite town, set to accommodate growth of an additional 10,000 dwellings in the next 30 years. The Pukekohe Area Plan is currently under development and growth scenarios will be used as the basis of community consultation. Development of the Pukekohe Area Plan uses the same principles as those used for the RUB, i.e. protection of elite soils and rural land uses, containment of growth, use of existing infrastructure etc. It will also provide housing choices and accommodate business and industrial growth, whilst aligning with transport and other infrastructure development. Any growth planned for Pukekohe in the Accord needs to be in line with the provisions of the Area Plan. The Franklin Local Board requests that council retains the decision-making ability for the location of development in both greenfield and brownfield sites, enabling council to work closely with local boards on proposed development in their areas and allowing boards to have input at an early stage of the process. In particular, the board requests input into the nomination of Special Housing Areas within the RUB which will be jointly approved by Council and the Government.

ORAKEI LOCAL BOARD

Auckland Councils primary focus has to be on getting the Accord target of 9,000 new house built in year 1 Auckland has averaged only around 4,000 new houses per annum in recent years and we need to make the changes proposed in the Accord to turn this situation around Political considerations around the Government intervening if council failures to create this environment should be secondary The way to stop the Government intervening is by making speedy and certain progress in areas where there is agreement There are areas in Auckland where early notification of the unitary plan is unachievable if councils wishes to have community support for the process The Accords focus must be on early, partial notification of those areas where there is community support and where the new building levels can be achieved There should also be a national level statutory mandate for regional development plans that incentivise residential and business building /settlement/development in regional areas nation wide to divert excessive Auckland centric growth

KAIPATIKI LOCAL BOARD

The Chair of the Kaipatiki Local Board: 1. Supports the purpose of the Bill to enhance housing affordability by facilitating an increase in land and housing supply. Supports the inclusion of Auckland in Schedule 1 of the Bill as a region identified as having housing supply and affordability issues. Supports the intent of the Draft Auckland Housing Accord and in particular: (i) Enhanced collaboration between Government and Council in housing development, and in particular that collaboration between Housing New Zealand and Council (through Local Boards at the local level) should be a priority; (ii) Prioritisation of existing Housing New Zealand developments, particularly where planning frameworks are in place, and therefore development can be prioritised in the short term; (iii) Specifically the development of Northcote and its identification as a Special Housing Area. Northcote is located to the immediate West of the Northern Motorway and is in close proximity to schools, North Shore Hospital, Auckland University of Technology (NS), significant sports, recreational and business space, and effective roading network and public transport links. Northcote is therefore supported by sufficient and appropriate infrastructure, offering the potential for a significant increase in housing supply ten minutes from Aucklands Central Business District. The Kaipatiki Local Board has resolved on its support for the development of Northcote on a number of occasions including: Resolution of the Kaipatiki Local Board on 8 May 2012: "the Kaipatiki Local Board strongly requests that the budget for Northcote Town Centre be confirmed in the time-frame as submitted as this is a critical project in the growth management for the Auckland Plan, is inter-related with the work of Housing New Zealand, which is partnering in the rejuvenation of Northcote, and redevelopment in this area has been long-promised" Resolution of the Kaipatiki Local Board on 23 May 2012: "that the Kaipatiki Local Boards notes and supports the programme of enhancements at the Northcote Town Centre and greenway, as set out in the adopted plans" Resolution of the Kaipatiki Local Board on 10 October 2012: "that Auckland Council Property Limited be requested to give particular focus to Northcote as part of an integrated rejuvenation of Northcote Central and to give effect to the Northcote Centre plan, noting the critical importance of retaining [Council] ownership of the centre, and of a collaborative working approach with Housing New Zealand. 4. Proposes the identification of Northcote as a Special Housing Area as: (i) It meets the criteria as set out in Section 15 of the Bill; (ii) 10 years of collaborative work and extensive community consultation has ensured that the comprehensive plans in place for Northcote can act as a framework for development both in the immediate and longer term;

Attachment A
Auckland Plan Committee 11 June 2013 (iii) Collaborative development in partnership with Housing New Zealand can provide for a mix of housing types and includes both social housing and affordable housing for first time buyers; (iv) Auckland Councils ownership of the land in the commercial centre, alongside New Zealand Defence Forces ownership of residential land in the Greenslade Crescent area (and therefore subject to Treaty of Waitangi commercial redress) offers enhanced opportunity for partnerships and considered development for the Northcote area. 5. Supports the implementation of Urban Design Standards as proposed in the draft Unitary Plan as imperative in any new development facilitated by the Housing Accord, to ensure intensification delivers well designed and sustainable housing to provide healthy and integrated communities.

The area is very hilly and steep and dominated by the Waitakere Forest. It includes the West Coast Beaches Whatipu, Karekare, Piha, Anawhata, and Bethells Te Henga.

The Auckland Housing Accord is the only one currently in existence. If contemplating the termination of the accord the only matter the Minister has to consult with Auckland Councilonisthatthedatechosenwillenabletheorderlytransitiontotheregimeapplying aftertheterminationoftheaccord. When exercising his power to nominate for creation a SHA the Minister has to "have regard to" the current District Plans and the draft Unitary Plan but this does not require him to follow their provisions. He can consider the plans and then decide on something entirely different. The purpose of the consideration is said to be to ensure that the boundariesoftheproposedspecialhousingareaareclearlydefinedintheOrderinCouncil andeasilyidentifiableinpractice.ThisgivestheMinisteraverywidediscretion. The only restriction in the Bill (section 16(3)) is that the Minister must not recommend an areaunlesssatisfiedthatwithappropriateinfrastructuretheproposedareacouldbeused for qualifying developments and there is evidence of demand and there will be demand forhousing.ThecriteriaareverywideandcontrolsonthesitingofSHAareminimal. There appears to be no restriction on designating SHAs in areas outside the RUB. The statutorycriteriadonotrequireenvironmentaldamagetobetakenintoaccount.Therisk is that if the bill is passed areas within the Waitakere Ranges Heritage Area (for instance) couldbedesignatedasSHAs. The short time period have not allowed a full appreciation of the implications of an area being designated as a special housing area. But the implications appear to be considerable.Thedesignationwillmeanamongstotherthingsthefollowing: a.

In determining the application the deciding body needs to give the most weight to thepurposeoftheBill. c.

Strategy and Policy Forward Programme: Quarterly Progress Update

File No.: CP2013/10095
Purpose
1. This report provides a quarterly progress update on the Strategy and Policy Forward Programme.
Executive Summary
2. The Strategy and Policy Forward Programme contains 27 items of which seven have now been adopted and are being implemented. Two items on the programme were adopted this quarter: the Events Policy and the Procurement Strategy/Policy. Most other strategies and policies on the programme are on track and are progressing well. Three documents are likely to be adopted more than 6 months after the expected adoption dates agreed to by Committee in December (the Community Funding Policy, Environment Strategic Action Plan and Community Facilities Network Plan). There are no recommended additions to the programme this quarter. Officers will continue to monitor the programme and will advise the Committee on any recommend changes to the content and scheduling on an ongoing basis.

Recommendation/s
That the Auckland Plan Committee: a) Note progress on the development and implementation of items on the Strategy and Policy Forward Programme.
Discussion
Background
4. The Auckland Plan Committee adopted the Strategy and Policy Forward Programme (the Forward Programme) on 17 December 2012. The Forward Programme contains 27 items which represent the most important strategy and policy work required to implement the Auckland Plan. Operational policies and plans are not included in the programme. The Forward Programme helps to guide resource and budget prioritisation decisions and reduce ad hoc policy and strategy development across the organisation. The three year time horizon helps to drive and guide the committee and forum work schedule. The Auckland Plan Committee agreed (resolution number APC/2012/48) to receive quarterly progress reports on the delivery of the Forward Programme and for any changes to the programme to be reported to the Committee for approval.

Progress Reporting
7. Attachment A gives an update on progress with the Forward Programme. Seven of the 27 documents have been adopted and are being implemented. These are the: Alcohol Harm Reduction Strategy; Libraries Future Direction; Events Policy; Economic Development Strategy; Waste Management and Minimisation Plan; Indigenous Biodiversity Strategy; and Procurement Strategy. Most of the remaining documents in the programme are on track and are progressing well.

There are a number of highlights this quarter. Key highlights include: Adoption of the Events Policy by the Regional Development and Operations Committee in May 2013. This policy gives guidance to local boards, the governing body and ATEED on decision-making for local, regional and major events. Reporting of the draft Smokefree Policy to the Parks, Recreation and Heritage Forum in May and to local boards for feedback during May and June. This policy is expected to be adopted next quarter. Endorsement by the Parks, Recreation and Heritage Forum of the draft Sport and Recreation Strategic Action Plan for wider consultation with stakeholders. This policy is expected to be adopted next quarter. Adoption of the Procurement Strategy and Policy by the Regional Development and Operations Committee in May. This strategy helps to ensure that council procurements are undertaken in a way that is consistent with the intent and directives of the Auckland Plan.
9.
Risks and issues associated with the individual documents have been highlighted in Attachment A. While minor, two themes are emerging from the development of the documents in the programme. These are: Larger than expected volume of submissions and consultation responses. In a number of cases the expected adoption dates are dependent on the volume of submissions and consultation responses received; with a large response meaning that more time will be allocated to analysing and reviewing submission points. This point applies to the draft Childrens and Young Peoples Strategic Action Plan, draft Community Development Strategic Action Plan, Gambling Venues Policy Programme and the Open Space Strategic Action Plan. This theme can be viewed as a welcome consequence of enhanced engagement with stakeholders and communities. Delivery of multi-agency projects. Projects that are managed by multiple stakeholders often have a number of different dependencies. This theme applies to the Hauraki Gulf Marine Spatial Plan and Housing Action Plan and largely reflects the partnership approach Council is adopting as part of the delivery of the Auckland Plan.
Updates to the Strategy and Policy Forward Programme

10. While the programme has a long term focus and will therefore remain fairly static, it is recognised that from time to time it may need to be altered in order to respond to, for example, emerging policy issues and new legislative requirements. There are no recommended additions to the programme this quarter. Any changes to expected adoption dates are noted in Attachment A. Most changes are minor. Three documents are likely to be adopted more than six months later than expected. These documents are: Community Funding Policy. The scope of this work has changed to include a financial investigation into Councils investment in community services. This is a substantial piece of work and the policy will be completed following the completion of the investigation. The

Environment Strategic Action Plan. This item was originally expected to be adopted during the October-December 2013 quarter but is now expected during the July-September 2014 quarter. This is a substantial document which brings together a number of related environment policies and action plans and is currently in the scoping phase. Community Facilities Network Plan. This document is now being completed in two phases. Phase one is an analysis of current community facilities and this will be completed within the expected timeframe. Phase two, which is the provision planning phase, is expected to be adopted by July 2014. An update was reported to all local boards in April outlining the process for the delivery of this item. 12. Officers will continue to monitor the Forward Programme and will advise the Committee on any recommend changes to the content and scheduling of the programme on an ongoing basis.
Consideration
Local Board Views
13. The Forward Programme has been sent to all local boards and a briefing given to local board chairs. A copy of this update report will be sent to all local boards for their information.
Mori Impact Statement

14. The development and implementation of the strategies and policies within the Forward Programme will include consideration of how the work will contribute to the delivery of Mori outcomes and the Auckland Plan transformational shifts including Significantly lift Mori social and economic well-being. Strategy and policy leads are expected to ensure that the goals of the Mori Responsiveness Framework are integrated into strategy and policy development. Officers are also expected to consider the Mori Plan for Tmaki Makaurau as part of policy development. A copy of this report will be sent to the Independent Mori Statutory Board for their information.
15. Implementation of the Forward Programme requires ongoing resource and staff commitment. The Forward Programme contains a number of already adopted items. These documents are included within the programme as they form part of the strategic programme required to implement the Auckland Plan and implementation activities associated with these documents are significant. Officers will continue to monitor the implementation of the Forward Programme and report progress to Committee on a quarterly basis.

FORWARD PROGRAMME ITEM 17. Natural Hazard Risk Management Action Plan Expected adoption date: July-September 2015 ITEM STATUS PROGRESS SINCE LAST QUARTER / COMMENTARY Detailed project planning is underway and work is expected to begin in July 2013. Cross-council workstreams will soon be established to implement the project addressing: Legislation and Information; Risk Management Tools; Risk Assessment; Risk Treatment; Strategic Action Planning; Monitoring; and Integration and Communication. Hauraki Gulf Marine Spatial Plan project structure and steering group model approved jointly by Auckland Council and Waikato Regional Council in February 2013. Detailed project planning is underway in parallel with development of a geospatial decision support tool (in collaboration with DoC and others). A draft project engagement strategy currently envisages progressive contact with key stakeholders, an opportunity for endorsement of the project by dignitaries early in September and a broader public launch before the end of 2013. The main collaborative stakeholder engagement process then follows with spatial plan delivery expected by early 2015. The plan was adopted in June 2012. Since then the focus has been on implementation and a number of actions have been progressed. A monitoring and reporting framework is currently being developed. This strategy was adopted in April 2012. Implementation progress is on track and was last reported to the Parks, Recreation and Heritage Forum in November 2012. The strategy is being delivered through a series of working groups. The draft action plan was completed in May and a technical analysis commissioned to support evidence-based decision-making. The draft action plan will be discussed with Councillors and local board representatives on 19 June prior to seeking its adoption by Committee for the purpose of public consultation in August.

Thriving Communities Draft Action Plan

File No.: CP2013/11978
Purpose
1. The purpose of this report is to seek the Committees approval to release the draft Thriving Communities Action Plan for informal feedback from the public.
Executive Summary
2. The Thriving Communities Action Plan is an internal-facing, strategic document that supports the implementation of the Auckland Plan, and specifically Directives 1.10 (support community-led development) and 1.11 (promote inclusion, reduce discrimination and remove barriers). The Action Plan focuses on councils role in enabling and creating positive community and social impacts. As per the Mayors High Level Direction Setting for the Long-term Plan (August 2011), the Thriving Communities Action Plan aims to embed community development approaches in councils culture. The draft Action Plan states that the most efficient and effective way of increasing and multiplying positive community and social impacts is through mobilising all parts of council to work in a community centric way. Workshops on the draft Action Plan will be held with local boards, councillors and staff during June-August 2013. The Action Plan will have a direct impact on communities and their experience of working with council, and will, therefore, be of interest to community groups and other stakeholders. Informal public feedback on the draft Action Plan will be sought through an Auckland-wide event and via online and postal feedback. The draft Action Plan proposes seven principles to guide decision-making and six areas to progress over the next three years. Each of the six focus areas has a number of actions to it. The proposed principles are based on community feedback. They will provide practical guidance in decision-making and delivery of activities, and will apply across council:
Diversity, inclusion & equity Relationship focussed
3.
4.
5. 6.
High trust Community sustainability
Empowerment & community self Local strengths determination He kaunihera aumangea, ng hapori aumangea (council is a determined supporter and advocate of building strong and resilient Mori communities)
7.
In relation to what council will actually do in the community and social development areas, the draft Action Plan proposes to focus on a limited number of areas and actions and do them well. The six proposed focus areas are:
1. Support and strengthen the voluntary and community sector 2. Support the development of social innovation and social enterprise 3. Enable resident and community-driven action to flourish 4. Maximise councils positive socio-economic impacts 5. Work in a holistic and responsive way 6. Enable our staff, across all teams, to be community centric
8.
All current and proposed community and social development activities fall in to one of the three areas covered in the purpose statement of local government in the Local Government Act 2002. Making the best use of resources is an important driver in the Thriving Communities Action Plan. By ensuring that any and all parts of council are able to work in a
Page 79
Item 11
Item 11
community centric way, council will significantly multiple positive outcomes for communities without the need for significant, corresponding increases in resourcing. This approach is both sustainable and prudent, and is well aligned with councils need to be cost-effective as directed under the Act.
Recommendation/s
That the Auckland Plan Committee: a) Receive the report and approve Attachment A, Thriving Communities Draft Action Plan, to be released for informal public feedback which will be sought through an Auckland-wide event and via online and postal methods. circulate this report to local boards, Independent Mori Statutory Board, Disability Strategic Advisory Group, Pacific Peoples Advisory Panel, Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel and Youth Advisory Panel for their information.

Discussion
Background 9. The Thriving Communities Action Plan is an internal-facing, strategic document that supports the implementation of the Auckland Plan, and specifically Directives 1.10 (support community-led development) and 1.11 (promote inclusion, reduce discrimination and remove barriers). The Action Plan focuses on councils role in enabling and creating positive community and social impacts. In October 2012, the Thriving Communities Discussion Document was released for consultation. During October December, almost 400 written and survey responses were received and over 1,100 people attended workshops. The Discussion Document was well received, with strong support for the general direction of travel. Feedback, from communities, staff, local boards, the governing body, central government departments and business, amongst others, has directly influenced the draft Action Plan. The Discussion Document outlined the different community development models used across Auckland (inherited from the former councils). The Discussion Document stated that the way council works with and supports Aucklands diverse communities must be flexible, responsive and tailored, and this remains critical. The draft Action Plan states that approaches that work well for, and are wanted by, communities, will be supported and will not be removed or displaced, such as the model used in local board areas in the north of Auckland. There are inequities in community development resourcing across Auckland, as a result of the different approaches and levels of investment by former councils, which must be addressed. A full financial investigation is being undertaken which will inform the Local Board Funding Policy and Community Funding Policy, two key mechanisms for addressing this particular issue. As per the Mayors High Level Direction Setting for the Long-term Plan (August 2011), the Thriving Communities Action Plan aims to embed community development approaches in councils culture. The draft Action Plan states that the most efficient and effective way of increasing and multiplying positive community and social impacts is through mobilising all parts of council to work in a community centric way. The draft Action Plan aims to: 1) create conditions that better enable community-led development (including councils capacity and capability to be a flexible, responsive and agile partner to communities); and 2) outline how council will work smarter to increase socioeconomic outcomes.

Auckland Plan Committee 11 June 2013 16.
Principles 17. 18. The purpose of the principles is to provide practical guidance for decision-making and delivery of activities. They will apply across council. In Discussion Document feedback, communities prioritised the following seven principles:
Diversity, inclusion & equity Relationship focussed Empowerment & community selfdetermination
High trust Community sustainability Local strengths
He kaunihera aumangea, ng hapori aumangea (council is a determined supporter and

advocate of building strong and resilient Mori communities)
19.
Communities stated that, although aspirational, these principles encompass the values and beliefs necessary for, and critical to, supporting community-led development and achieving better social outcomes for Aucklanders. They are also strongly aligned with the Auckland Plan. For clarity and consistency, detail about what the principles mean is provided in the draft Action Plan. A joint governing body and local board workshop on the proposed principles was held in April 2013, and they were well received. In relation to what council will actually do in the community and social development areas, the draft Action Plan proposes to focus on a limited number of areas and actions, and do them well. The six proposed focus areas are:
1. Support and strengthen the voluntary and community sector 2. Support the development of social innovation and social enterprise 3. Enable resident and community-driven action to flourish 4. Maximise councils positive socio-economic impacts 5. Work in a holistic and responsive way 6. Enable our staff, across all teams, to be community centric
20.
Focus areas 21.
22.
23.
The focus on a few areas does not mean council will stop providing the wide range of current initiatives and support that are not described in the Action Plan. The Action Plan does not, and should not, attempt to control, approve or veto the hundreds of relevant activities across council. For example, there are a number of action plans and policies being developed that are relevant to community and social development (e.g. action plans on Children and Young People, Sport and Recreation, Arts and Culture, Parks and Open Spaces etc.). Each of these have multiple aims and actions, which, together, represent a significant body of councils work. However, it is expected that the action plans will be consistent with, and informed by, the principles. All of our current and proposed (as described in the draft Action Plan) community and social development activities fall in to one of the three areas covered in the purpose statement (s.10) of local government in the LGA: Infrastructure includes community infrastructure such as parks, libraries, community centres etc. Public services includes services such as our community development capacity and capacity building support, which communities have told are important
Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) 24.
Page 81
Item 11
The draft Action Plan proposes seven principles to guide decision-making, and six areas to progress over the next three years. Each of the six focus areas has a number of actions to it.
Item 11
Regulatory functions includes developing and implementing by-laws on issues that have a direct social impact such as liquor control. 25. Making the best use of resources is an important driver in the Action Plan. By ensuring that any and all parts of council are able to work in a community centric way, council will significantly multiple positive outcomes for communities without the need for a significant, corresponding increase in resourcing. This approach is both sustainable and prudent, and is consistent with councils need to be cost-effective as directed under the Act. The LGA also requires local government to Take into account the social, economic, and cultural interests of people and communities and quality of the environment, including for future generations, as part of a sustainable development approach (s.14). It also makes reference to local governments role in developing social policy (s.5). The draft Action Plan is consistent with these requirements. The draft Action Plan is also consistent with the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 regarding the need for Auckland Council to set a strategic direction, through the Auckland Plan, that integrates social, economic, environmental and cultural objectives (s79.3.a).

Consideration
Local Board Views
28. The role of local boards in place-making and community development is crucial, as is their input in to the development of the Action Plan. Over the past 12 months, there have been numerous points of engagement with local boards including initial meetings (pre-Discussion Document), cluster and local board workshops on the Discussion Document (Oct-Dec 2012) and most recently a joint workshop with the governing body on the proposed principles (April 2013). In addition, specific sessions for local boards and the governing body with international guest speakers, such as Jim Diers, Giovanni Allegretti and Natalie Nicholles, were provided. Generally, there was strong support from local boards for the direction of travel of the Discussion Document. The common issues identified by local boards in Discussion Document feedback were: Provide a greater description/ acknowledgement of roles of local boards Poor awareness amongst citizens of the full role of community development support that is provided by council (e.g. activities, community infrastructure). Need to highlight roles and the value of this support Identify and address barriers faced by local boards and communities (e.g. processes, rules) Councils role should be that of enabler and facilitator of community development Strong support for community-led development - community ownership of projects and initiatives is crucial Need for a seamless and integrated wholeof-system and whole-of-place approach (e.g. remove silo way of working) 30. Acknowledge, value and address the unique situation of rural areas and islands (e.g. facilities) Strong support for local and social outcomes in procurement Local board discretionary funds are very oversubscribed Clarity needed on between local and regional decision making Desire for closer working between local board and governing body Creative tools and resources needed to ensure inclusive community engagement Shift the culture of council to be more can do, responsive and flexible Protect and build on community activities and infrastructure
29.
The majority of issues raised by local boards are addressed in the draft Action Plan.

Maori Impact Statement

31. There is very close alignment between the draft Action Plan and councils Mori Responsiveness Framework and the Independent Mori Statutory Boards Treaty Audit. The Thriving Communities principle on Mori community development, Aumangea, is based on the Frameworks goals of: 1) effective Mori participation in councils decision-making structures and processes; 2) empowering council to be responsive to Mori; and 3) emphasis on councils role in contributing to Mori well-being. 32. There are a number of actions to be taken forward jointly with Te Waka Angamua/Mori Strategy and Relations.
Engagement on the draft Action Plan 33. 34. Workshops with local boards, councillors and staff will be held during June August 2013. The principles and actions will have a direct impact on communities and their experience of working with council. For these reasons it will be of interest to a wide range of stakeholders. An Auckland-wide event, to gather public feedback on the draft Action Plan, will be held and feedback will be also received via online methods and post. We have not waited to progress critical areas. Work has already begun on many of the key issues identified in Discussion Document feedback, as indicated in the draft Action Plan. The consultation period for feedback on the draft Action Plan will close early August 2013. The final Action Plan will be submitted to the Auckland Plan Committee in September 2013 for adoption. Following adoption of the Action Plan, implementation plans will be developed. The Community and Cultural Strategy Unit will monitor and report on the Action Plans progress to the Social and Community Development Forum and Auckland Plan Committee. The LGA states that one of the four principal objectives of a CCO is to exhibit a sense of social and environmental responsibility by having regard to the interests of the community in which it operates and by endeavouring to accommodate or encourage these when able to do so (s.59.1.c). Given this, Community and Cultural Strategy will work with CCOs in relation to the Action Plan as a pathway for achieving this objective.

Children and Young People's Strategic Action Plan

File No.: CP2013/12054
Purpose
1. This report seeks the Committees approval of the draft Children and Young Peoples Strategic Action Plan (CYPSAP) and the process of engagement, including a call for action. The purpose of the call for action is to gain commitment from communities, Government, business, not for profit and other sectors to develop actions to improve the prospects and quality of life of children and young people across Auckland.
Executive Summary
2. Development of the CYPSAP is itself an action from the Auckland Plan. The actions in the draft CYPSAP have been assessed to ensure alignment with the targets and strategic directives within the Auckland Plan. The purpose of the draft CYPSAP is to deliver on the Auckland Plan transformational shift to improve the prospects of children and young people (those aged 25 and under), and the priority to put children and young people first. The CYPSAP is being co-designed and co-developed with the Youth Advisory Panel, as agreed by Auckland Plan Committee (March 2013). The draft CYPSAP has the full support of the Youth Advisory Panel. The draft CYPSAP has seven goals. These were created from the voices of children and young people who engaged in the development of the Auckland Plan. The goals are: 1 - I have a voice, I am valued and I contribute 2 - I am important, I am cared about and I feel safe 3 - I am happy, healthy and thriving 4 - I am given equal opportunities to succeed and I am given a fair go 5 - I can get around and get connected 6 - Auckland is my playground 7 - Kia ora rawa atu e nga rangatahi katoa All Rangatahi will thrive

The draft CYPSAP is Attachment 1 to this report. It contains a range of some of the most significant actions council is currently delivering that contribute to improving the prospects of children and young people. The Council Action Index is councils contribution to improving the prospects of children and young people and will be expanded during the call for action phase. The focus of the call for action is to motivate and provide a tool for other organisations and communities to identify and share their actions that put children and young people first. The draft CYPSAP is in the format of an interactive website www.putmefirst.co.nz. This website will be the tool to gather responses to the call for action. It is proposed that the website goes live on 31 May 2013; that the call for action continues until 20 June 2013 and the final CYPSAP will be reported to Committee in July 2013.

Discussion
8. The development of the draft CYPSAP has focused on identifying a range of actions that council is currently delivering or facilitating, as well as some low cost or no-cost actions and behaviour changes. The actions in the draft CYPSAP are a selection only of councils most significant actions. The actions include many business as usual (BAU) actions that already contribute to putting children and young people first and make a real change in their lives. Children and young people have been clear that they wanted a mix of good stuff that we already do and innovative stuff that they could help deliver or develop. The draft CYPSAP Council Action Index is Attachment 1 to this report. The draft CYPSAP call for action is in the format of an interactive website www.putmefirst.co.nz . Developing the CYPSAP 11. Developing the CYPSAP is itself an action in the Auckland Plan and aims to deliver on the transformational shift to to improve the prospects of children and young people (those aged 25 and under), and the priority to put children and young people first.

12. An outline of the key stages in developing the draft CYPSAP is in the table below, with further information below the table. Stage Goals Identified seven goals from the voices of 6000 children and young people who engaged on the development of the Auckland Plan. Aligned goals to the strategic directives and targets of the Auckland Plan Identified a range of actions council currently delivers and options for new actions that council could deliver and set up the Index of Council actions The interactive website, www.putmefirst.co.nz, is the tool to gather responses to the call for action.

Goal 7. Kia ora rawa atu nga We support rangatahi to thrive, and in doing so we rangatahi katoa acknowledge Te Ao Mori. This goal sits across and weaves through all the Children and Young People's Strategic Action Plan goals
Draft CYPSAP Council Action Index
14. The draft CYPSAP gives effect to the goals through the identifying and developing real actions council is already or could take. 15. In December 2012, workshops were held with council staff. Staff were asked what would you be doing differently if these goals where happening? Staff reflected on their department, team and individual jobs, and focused on developing actions that contributed towards achieving the goals. These actions were also assessed on how much of an impact they would make on behaviour change and whether they could be done within existing resources. 16. From these workshops, 3 key action areas were identified: 1) What Council will do for staff reviewing and capturing the child friendly policies and plans that are in place, for example: infant feeding policy, the ability

13. The CYPSAP consists of seven goals. The goals represent the desired outcomes for children and young people. The goals are supported by a description of what they mean in practice, shown in the table below.
Item 12
to work from home and flexible hours for staff to be able to support their own families. 2) What Council will do in each department What are those actions that council already undertakes, like Youth Connections and what are the new actions that will make a change in the way council works with and for children and young people. For example the creation of children, young persons and their families impact assessment tools or childrens audits of play grounds and play spaces. 3) What Council will do in community These are community based, service deliver actions like Youth Connections, WIFI in town centres.
Driving action across council and community - Call for Action

Call for Action in council
19. The purpose of the council call for action is not only to identify more actions, but to promote behaviour change within council by asking council departments- and CCOsto consider what they need to imbed putting children and young people first in all that we do. 20. There are a number of possible actions not confirmed in the action index: these will be further investigated and feedback sought from children, young people and other stakeholders.
Call for Action in community
21. The call for action will be promoted through a number of channels including social media and Facebook. In the lead up, communities and other sectors will be briefed through face to face meetings and forums like the UNICEF and Auckland Council
22. The CYPSAP website will create a space for other agencies, NGOs and children and young people to register their own actions. This website will be one of the core components of the CYPSAP and is an action in itself - as children and young people asked for an online space that captures all that council and others do for them in Auckland.
23.
The website is specifically designed to be engaging for children and young people, as well as the broader community.
Engagement and consultation
24. How council engages, both internally and externally, will be crucial to the content and subsequent ownership of the CYPSAP. As the CYSAP will be a living plan, it will require on-going engagement and collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders. Children, young people and communities which are considered hard to reach/hear will, be provided with additional support to engage with the development process 25. The Youth Advisory Panel through the co-development arrangement will lead and establish their own set of engagement activities. The Youth Advisory Panel has also been involved in the co-design and development of engagement tools and options. 26. Advice on internal and wider community engagement has or will be sought from internal communications advisors, Consultation and Engagement Team, Local Board Services, Human Resources Department, Independent Mori Statutory Board, Pacific Peoples Advisory Panel, Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel and Disability Strategic Advisory Group. Local Board Views 27. Local boards are critical in this process. They play an important role in shaping local areas and children and young people are high users of local council services. All local boards have now set up youth forums or other forms of youth representation. These will play a key role in developing the CYPSAP. 28. Advice on engaging with local boards and their youth representatives has been sought, and engagement approaches may include: combined workshops with councillors; sessions at their monthly workshops; regular updates to the monthly meetings of local board chairs; and specific workshops or meetings of local board representatives with child and youth portfolios. 29. The Youth Advisory Panel Members will work directly with their local boards to develop engagement activities in their local area. Mori Impact Statement
Effective Mori communication and engagement
30. During the development of the Auckland Plan extensive consultation and engagement with Rangatahi and Tamariki took place. This engagement has been used to inform the development of the Draft CYPSAP and in particular Goal 7 Kia ora rawa atu nga rangatahi katoa All Rangatahi will thrive. 31. Further consultation and engagement will take place with Mori to develop the actions in the draft CYPSAP. Te Waka Angamua, the Independent Mori Statutory Board (IMSB), Mana Whenua and Mataawaka are key stakeholders in CYPSAP,

Item 12
and there will be Mori engagement throughout the process. The engagement will be started through a Rangatahi Hui to ensure that those actions identified already are relevant to Rangatahi.
Contribution to Mori Well-being
32. As part of strengthening the work of the CYPSAP there needs to be a focus and prioritisation of Rangatahi and Tamariki. Mori make up 11% of population in Auckland and are more likely to live in those areas with high levels of disadvantage. Within the Mori population group 46% are Rangatahi and Tamariki. 33. The CYPSAP will work within the proposed Mori Outcomes Framework and show how we intend to contribute to Mori well being and provide options for capacity building with rangatahi.
Development of Mori Capacity
34. The Independent Mori Statutory Boards Mori Plan for Tmaki Makaurau describes Councils responsibility to contribute to Mori well-being, support the development of Mori capacity, and effectively communicate and engage with Mori. The CYPSAP address Goal 3: Strong Mori Communities, underpinning this goal there is a recommendation to develop a Rangatahi Leadership group, Goal 7 of the CYPSAP actions this recommendation. General

36. The monitoring the CYPSAP will be part of the annual Auckland Plan Implementation Update. The bi -annual Children and Young People in Auckland Report (due May 2014) will also be a key tool for reporting on actions and development in the CYPSAP. 37. The Long Term Council Plan provides $100,000 per annum for the development of the CYPSAP and further development of new initiatives. The proposed initiatives will be within the approved budget.
