Devonport-Takapuna

Devonport- Takapuna

• Prioritising the budget so that

AT’s Lake Road improvements project (the project)can be delivered.

• The budget would enable

roading, pubic transport, and cycling & walking improvements to be made.

Lake Road

Devonport-Takapuna

• The local board:
• fully support AT’s Lake Road improvements project.
• are willing to allocate it’s entire transport capital fund

towards supporting the project (approx. $3 million).

• are open to discussing a potential targeted rate.
• Consistently the number one issue for the community:
• 1,200 submissions were received as part of AT’s

consultation in June 2017.

• 85% of submitters on the local board plan identified

that the budget for the Lake Road should be prioritised.

Devonport-Takapuna

• Reason for preferred option
• Intent to improve people-moving capacity along corridor
• Achievable in the medium term
• Issues & Risks
• Issue: cycling compromise, potentially longer route
• Issue: requires change in driver behaviour
• Risk: subject to AT funding
• Constraints:
• Awaiting outcome of detailed business case to finalise scope,

funding and subsidies

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki

Maungakiekie Tamaki

Transport interchange in Onehunga that co- locates the existing bus and rail stations and must not preclude the inclusion of future public transport connections such as light rail. Bus interchange Train station

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki

Boar Board d Cas Case e for

• r init

initia iativ tive e

Context:

• Community feedback
• Mass transit coming through Onehunga, EWL, light rail to airport
• Onehunga Transform Project – opportunity to address issues, funding
• Opportunity cost of acting later – MT is a high growth area, changing
• Central government commitment to light rail prioritisation

What needs to happen:

• Bring together bus and train stations - addresses current problem NOW
• Future-proof for light rail – avoid repeating problem we are addressing
• Direct AT to prioritise (AT supports this, question of timing )
• Direct Panuku to prioritise reinvestment (Panuku supports this, question
• f timing)

Sharing the solution:

• Local board is willing to sell an underperforming local facility in the area
• Can contribute AT capital fund (approx 2m)

Maungakiekie-Tāmaki

Officer advice - do nothing in short term

• Awaiting outcomes of:
• Impact of new bus routes and stops
• CRL to allow increased train frequency
• Decision on light rail
• East West Link
• Agreement from Auckland Transport and Panuku not to

prioritise but keep watch

Issues & Risks

• Risk: Dominion road signalled as greater priority for

light rail

Ōrākei

• Papakura Train station being the 3rd busiest train station on the Rapid Transit

Network

• Rapid residential growth in surrounding areas
• Community desperate for traffic congestion to be addressed
• The Mayoral Intent to “Accelerate investment in our transport network, in particular

public and active transport and optimising the existing network to address traffic congestion”.

• Board committed to the project, will

contribute $800,000 from its Parking Reserve Fund

Howick

Howick

Bring forward development of the multi-use community facility and library at Flat Bush Bring forward budget and development for aquatic facility at Flat Bush

Continued development of the multi-use community facility and library at Flat Bush

• Flat Bush has been comprehensively planned as a new community with the town centre forming the “heart

and soul” of this rapidly expanding area. Its location next to Barry Curtis Park and the proposed town square forms a strategically critical element of the masterplan which plays a key role in the place-making of this emerging town centre

• The facilities are included in the Community Facilities Network Plan as a priority. Feedback from the

community on the LTP shows that Howick residents see the multiuse community facility and library as a focal point for the community to come together

• Following recent consultation with residents:

The most pressing issue for many within the community was the lack of community facilities

• one comment was simply “We need this now!”.

Budget in the Long-term Plan 2015-2025 (LTP) for the aquatic facility (at Ormiston Town Centre, Flat Bush) to be brought forward from FY2021 to FY2018

• Design concept work can begin and allow for public consultation
• The budget is staged over three years from FY2018.

Howick

• Reason for preferred option

Whau

Boar Board d Cas Case e for

• r init

initia iativ tive e

• There is a robust demonstrated business

need NOW to address current need and reduce pressure on neighbouring facilities

• Economic case demonstrates value for

money - Partial Cost benefit ratio is already 1:5

• Since 2010 every community consultation

(plans and budgets) has had submissions supporting a pool for the Whau

• There are external funding including PPP
• pportunities that cannot progress until it is

in the LTP

"During peak times it's really difficult to get a lane. When you do, you find you're compressed with a whole lot

• f other swimmers.“

Aucklander 2010

Kaipātiki

Investment into the renewal

• f community and sports

assets at Birkenhead War Memorial Park to make the park fit for purpose for the next 50 years

Birkenhead War Memorial Park

Kaipātiki

Kaipātiki is an established local board area with an estimated population of 91,800, however many assets are coming to the end of their useful life. This busy and well used park has facilities that are in poor condition, aren’t fit for purpose, and are not set up to meet future needs. Opportunity to respond to changing communities, rather than just replacing like for like. Development of a master plan to guide future direction is underway. Regenerating the park and its facilities came through strongly in the local board plan feedback. There is a high level of community interest in the master plan.
