Monthly report for the period 11 September to 9 October 2017

Highlights and Significant Issues

Kaipatiki Local Board Plan is approved

The Kaipaitki Local Board Plan for the three years 2017 to 2020 was unanimously
approved by the local board at our business meeting on 20 September. The local
board appreciate the input from our communtiy into the plan. We look forward
to working to deliver this strategic plan over the rest of the term.

Rawene Carpark land slip

On Monday 9 October, a significant amount of

land from the Rawene Carpark slipped down
onto the Rawene Carpark Reserve. Auckland
Transport have assumed responsibility for the
site.

Members of the board were notified of cracking

in the carpark by the Birkenhead Business Assn
on 10 August. Auckand Transport were
immediately notified. A site visit by myself along
with fellow board members John Gillon and Kay McIntrye also confirmed for us that there was some
increased cracking. At our board meeting of 16 August the KLB resolved:

That the Kaiptiki Local Board:

e) is concerned about damage and possible subsidence to the carpark that appears to have
worsened during the period of construction of the neighbouring Rawene Road developments,
and requests that mitigation is actioned and any related compliance breaches are enforced.
f) requests that the above resolutions be forwarded to the Chief Executive of Auckland Council
and the Chief Executive of Auckland Transport for their information and action.
Council officers had met onsite a number of times and on 20 September a decision was made by
Auckland Transport to fence off a section of Rawene Carpark that showed the signs of cracking. A
geotechnical report was initiated and monitoring was underway.

Fortunately, because of these actions, no persons or vehicles were injured or damaged as a result of
the slip on Monday 9 October.

The concerns are now for the immediate public safety of all those in the surrounding area. I have
requested an update from Auckland Transport to clarify their processes.

There is concern for the loss of parking in the area and the economic impact this will have on the
local businesses. Local Board members will be attending a briefing from Auckland Transport on 11
October. We await further updates from Auckland Transport, as they continue to secure the site.
