Executive Summary
This report provides background information for the Auckland Future Vision Committee to help inform the deliberations stage of the Auckland Plan process. During meetings scheduled in February 2012, the Committee will consider and deliberate on a range of proposed changes covering Sections A D and Chapters 1 13 of the draft Auckland Plan. These proposed changes have resulted from the formal submission and hearings process, and additional research in response to issues identified in submissions. Officers will be seeking direction from the Committee on these proposed changes in order to prepare a revised/final version of the Auckland Plan for further consideration and adoption in March 2012. As directed by the Auckland Future Vision Committee, formal consultation on the draft Auckland Plan took place between 20 September 2011 and 31 October 2011 in accordance with the special consultative procedure. There was an excellent level of engagement with the draft plan resulting in 1966 submissions being received. Hearings were undertaken by the Committee from 1 November 2011 to 21 December 2011, with 24 days of hearings. 671 submitters participated in the hearings process, which included traditional panel hearings, marae and fale pasifika venues and three innovative workshop style forums. As part of the development of the Auckland Plan, a parallel process of engagement with Mana whenua and Mataawaka has been undertaken. Consultation with iwi and Maori on the draft Auckland Plan occurred over 2011, beginning with 2 mayoral hui held in January 2011. These were followed up with 8 sub-regional hui, 4 technical workshops and an additional 2 mayoral hui. Meetings have also been held with individual iwi as requested. This report provides a high level summary of the outcomes of this consultation process highlighting the common themes, areas of support and divergence across submissions. Further detail is included in attachment 1 and it is recommended that this high-level summary of written submissions on the draft Auckland Plan is received. This report also provides an outline of the process for the deliberations stage of the Auckland Plan process. The proposed changes to the draft Auckland Plan are detailed in a series of chapter reports which will be presented to the Committee over several meetings scheduled in February 2012.
Recommendation/s
a) b) c) That the report be received. That the high level summary of written submissions (Attachment 1) be received. That the summary of Local Board feedback (Attachment 2) be received.
Background
The legislative context and purpose of the Auckland Plan is provided for in the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 (section 79 and section 80). The Auckland Plan is the first spatial plan prepared under this legislation in New Zealand. The purpose of the spatial plan is to contribute to Aucklands social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing through a comprehensive and effective long term (30 year) strategy for Aucklands growth and development. The development of the Auckland Plan has followed a four stage process:

Establishment and early engagement (November 2010 February 2011) Auckland Unleashed discussion document (March 2011) Draft Auckland Plan (September 2011) Final Auckland Plan (March 2012)
The Auckland Unleashed discussion document was publicly launched by the Mayor at a Summit held on 23 March 2011, following consideration by the Auckland Future Vision Committee and the Committees endorsement of the direction of the discussion document. On 24 August 2011, the Auckland Future Vision Committee resolved: That the draft Auckland Plan, with any amendments, be adopted pursuant to section 80 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 and sections 83 and 87 of the Local Government Act 2002 for the purpose of undertaking formal consultation in accordance with the special consultative procedure. The plan has generated unprecedented interest and enthusiasm from a wide range of sectors and communities across Auckland. Throughout the preparation and development of the Auckland Plan, Auckland Council has involved iwi and Maori, central government, infrastructure providers, Aucklands communities, the private sector, the rural sector and numerous other parties (e.g. professional associations, education sector, youth). Auckland Council has taken the opportunity to work with business, community and government to co-produce this first spatial plan in a spirit of partnership and collaboration that reflects international best-practice.
Decision Making
Auckland Unleashed discussion document Auckland Unleashed was launched at a Mayoral Summit held on 23rd March 2011 attended by approximately 500 participants. Engagement on the discussion document included meetings/workshops with the 21 Local Boards, workshops with infrastructure providers, environmental and social/community groups, the business community as well as with academic and professional institutions. A parallel process with iwi was also undertaken including two Mayoral hui, six sub-regional hui and a further six sub-regional workshops. Over 1700 responses to the discussion document were received. This included feedback from over 1000 individuals along with feedback from central government, environmental groups, community interests, the business sector, educational institutes and professional organisations. Feedback was also received from across the Auckland Council structure from Local Boards, Iwi and marae organisations, Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs) and internal departments. A summary of feedback from Iwi and marae organisations will be attached to the report on Chapter 2 Aucklands Maori. Overall there was a very positive response towards the discussion document with high levels of support expressed for its general direction. Respondents liked the broad coverage, people friendly perspective, its visionary and bold nature, long-term strategic view and recognition of diversity. There were also high levels of support for the policy direction set out in the discussion document. A major gap identified by respondents was the need for an implementation plan, including greater clarity around how the goals and vision will be achieved and detail on specific outcomes, measures, delivery methods and funding. Further, there was a need throughout the Auckland Plan process to ensure Maori were engaged and supported in decision-making processes. Respondents welcomed the opportunity to participate in the plans development and acknowledged the high quality of the discussion document, which had been produced within a short time-frame. Draft Auckland Plan submissions
Auckland Future Vision Committee 03 February 2012 Public consultation on the draft Auckland Plan was held from 20 September 2011 to 31 October 2011. There was an excellent level of engagement in the draft plan resulting in 1966 written submissions being received as part of the formal special consultative procedure. 64% of submissions came from individuals, and 36% were from organisations. Over 850 submitters requested to be heard (44% of the total). 671 submitters participated in 24 days of hearings that included traditional hearings and innovative workshop forums. Submissions/presentations were also received from a number of Local Boards and several CCOs. Local Boards presented their views to the Hearings Panel over 3 hearings days. An international, independent peer review of the draft plan was undertaken by Greg Clark, United Kingdom. His commentary noted that the draft Auckland Plan was of a very high quality, and provided a powerful proposition for completing the Auckland Plan successfully within a short time frame. From his perspective, the vision and intent are clear, and the plans ambition is bold, serious and necessary. The draft Plan demonstrated the potential of the new governance model to devise and implement interventions in a more effective manner than previous arrangements may have achieved. He considered a key strength of the plan to be the twin focus on people and place, and its integrated approach to planning for the future of Auckland, recognising interconnected drivers and challenges. Greg Clark concludes that the draft plan represents one of the best draft city strategic planning documents he has read in recent years. A diversity of views have been expressed on the draft Auckland plan through the public consultation process, with over 14300 submission points being coded and assessed. A synopsis of these views, noting common themes and areas of interest is provided below, with a more detailed summary of written submissions set out in Attachment 1. It is recommended that the Committee receive this high level summary of written submissions. However, it is important to note that additional information, including any relevant new information/technical work and further detail on submissions will be provided in a series of chapter reports for the Committee to consider through its deliberations process. Overall submitters have given strong support to the direction and initiatives contained in the draft Auckland Plan. Aucklanders have appreciated the opportunity presented by a single spatial plan for all of Auckland, to provide greater certainty for investment decisions and more effective, timely interventions and implementation. Submitters have also strongly supported the plans place-based approach, which facilitates the alignment and coordination of activities and programmes of multiple agencies (e.g. Auckland Council, central government, business, community) in particular places. An important issue across submissions was the need to be more explicit that the Auckland Plan is not simply a description of council activity, but rather is a plan for all Auckland and will require action, commitment and funding from many parties over the next 30 years. This would also help address confusion regarding Councils role in developing and implementing the plan, including concerns around mandate. Many submissions also highlighted the need for greater clarity around the councils planning framework, and in particular the relationship/alignment between the Auckland Plan and the Unitary Plan and Long Term Plan. There was significant support from a large number of submitters for the transformational shifts contained in the draft Auckland Plan. Overall, the majority of submissions were very positive about the direction of the high level Development Strategy, particularly supporting the quality compact Auckland approach. However, there were also a number of submitters that raised issues regarding the quality compact approach for a variety of reasons, including the achievability of a 75:25 intensification/greenfields split. The centres based approach attracted overall support but there was some concern that the focus ignored market dynamics. There was also strong support for the plans place-based approach. Submitters gave unequivocal support for promoting high quality design. A large number of submitters were supportive of the concept of the Rural Urban Boundary (RUB) and saw it as an important step-change. These submitters considered that the RUB allows
Item 9
Auckland Future Vision Committee 03 February 2012 certainty for regions communities regarding land use planning, accompanying infrastructure provision and timing and the ability for councils to fund areas equitably. Submitters opposing the RUB saw it as too restrictive, unrealistic and hindering the growth of Auckland and increasing costs of land. These submitters expressed concern that constraints on land supply caused by implementation of the RUB would drive land and house values up further exacerbating housing affordability issues. A number of submitters raised concerns regarding the feasibility of achieving the 75:25 intensification/greenfields split within the plan. Submitters requested that council undertake further land supply analysis and some submitters recommended an alternative 60:40 or 50:50 split as being more achievable. Submitters supported keeping rural areas rural, vibrant and productive with future population growth focused in existing towns and villages. Submissions highlighted the need to support rural communities and avoid an overly urban focus in the plan. The importance of ready access to rural and natural coastal environments from urban areas for making Auckland more liveable than other cities was also identified in submissions. Submitters sought greater attention to rural roading and wastewater services. The majority of those submitters who commented on the City Centre were supportive. There was a general sense that the planned investment in the city centre is required to create a vibrant sustainable Auckland which attracts tourists and investment to Auckland and New Zealand. There was general agreement and support for the Southern Initiative. A number of submitters noted that reducing deprivation and improving socio-economic outcomes in South Auckland would have benefits for all Auckland. However, submitters also noted that there are also pockets of significant disadvantage in other parts of Auckland and these communities should not be ignored. Further work on the centres classification, rural settlements classification and rural activity categories was recommended to address inconsistencies. There was overall support for the inclusion of a housing chapter and submitters considered housing to be central to Aucklands aspiration to become the worlds most liveable city. There were mixed views expressed regarding the RUB and some concern over the RUBs negative impact on housing supply and housing affordability (refer also Development Strategy). There was strong support for housing affordability being identified as a key issue in the plan. There was concern expressed over the adverse impacts resulting from the concentration of state housing in certain neighbourhoods. Submissions highlighted the important role infrastructure plays in developing urban form both as an enabler and as a limitation. The timing of infrastructure investment and the linking of that investment to Aucklands wider growth aspirations were also emphasised. Improving the resilience of Aucklands infrastructure systems was a common theme, in particular provision of decentralised as well as centralised infrastructure. Sub-regional planning for infrastructure was supported. There was strong support for managing Aucklands transport as a single system integrated with land use. Submitters supported an integrated public transport system that is affordable, with strong support for improved infrastructure for pedestrian and cyclists. However, some submitters were concerned that the plan had too much focus on public transport and the private vehicle should not be overlooked as an option. The majority of submissions strongly agreed with the priorities of putting children and young people first, improving the education, health and safety of Aucklanders with a focus on those most in need and strengthening communities. However, a substantial number of submitters considered the plan needed an increased focus on older people. Submissions suggested inclusion of people with disabilities should also be made explicit.
Item 9
Page 10
Auckland Future Vision Committee 03 February 2012 There was strong support in the submissions for enhanced participation by Maori through partnerships, embedding the Treaty of Waitangi principles in the processes and policies of the Council. A number of suggestions were identified to enhance the Auckland Plans commitment to Maori aspirations. This includes more authority for iwi over matters of significance concerning waahi tapu. There was also strong support for the development and progression of papakainga in the region. Submitters strongly support the material on arts and culture, and the role of arts, culture and heritage, sport and recreation in the lives of Aucklanders. However, major areas of concern were the inadequacy of material on heritage and on sport and recreation in terms of the amount of content in the plan, the actions and profile. Submitters considered that further work was required to better understand the amount and location of future business land supply so that capacity constraints do not hamper economic growth. Many submissions identify the crucial role of ports and airports as key drivers of economic development, with the majority seeing the role of Ports of Auckland as critical. Submitters also suggested the plan could strengthen recognition for regional (and global) inter-linkages and interdependencies. There was strong support for councils aspirational target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2031 based on 1990 levels and a comprehensive response to energy and climate change (mitigation and adaptation). Submitters sought further detail and investigation to provide a comprehensive policy framework. Submitters support green growth, sustainability, eco-city approach for Auckland, wildlife corridor networks enhancing parks and open space, protecting streams and harbours, controlling the waste stream and reducing landfill waste. There was overall agreement with compact city approach in order to limit adverse environmental effects. Submissions provided support for biodiversity protection and restoration including recognising the importance of biosecurity in Waitakere and Hunua ranges. Submitters also agreed with the blue-green network of parks and reserves. Submitters also were concerned about natural hazard risk in particular noting earthquake risk to older buildings and land prone to subsidence and flooding. The need to build resilience into Auckland communities and infrastructure were highlighted across submissions. A common theme across a number of submissions impacting across the chapters of the plan was the need for clarity around the role of Auckland Council and other parties. There is a need for the final version to be more explicit that the Auckland Plan is a plan for all Auckland and will require action, commitment and funding from many parties. It is not simply a description of what the Council intends to do over the next 30 years. The implementation framework is considered a necessary mechanism to deliver the strategic directions and priorities of the draft plan. Several submitters support creating a prioritisation framework to assess projects and their contribution to the outcomes of the plan. Clear communication is required on how the plans objectives will be funded, how Council intends to report on the targets and responsibility for collecting, reporting and auditing target information. There was some concern over the public consultation process and the tight time-frames impacting on peoples ability to respond comprehensively to the draft plan. Enhanced public consultation will contribute to a greater understanding of the Auckland Plan including the need for intensification and support for a compact city, as well as input into design. This on-going communication effort will help to ensure that the Auckland Plan retains relevance and becomes an enduring plan.

Significance of Decision
This report deals with the Auckland Plan which is a significant activity. The development of the Auckland Plan has been carried out in accordance with the special consultative procedure, as provided for in the Local Government Act 2002 (sections 83 and 87).
Maori Impact Statement

Consultation with Maori on the draft Auckland Plan occurred over 2011 beginning with 2 mayoral hui held in January 2011. These were followed up with 8 sub-regional hui, 4 technical workshops and an additional 2 mayoral hui. All matters in relation to Maori content in the plan has been either drafted or reviewed by the Maori Strategy and Relationship Department. To assist the Auckland Council during the preliminary stages of drafting, the Maori Strategy and Relationship department identified significant issues concerning Maori in May 2011 and subsequently presented a supporting technical paper in August 2011 as part of a suite of papers that informed the draft. The department led the consultation process prior to adoption of the draft Auckland Plan and during the special consultative procedure. Iwi have made contributions through, direct face to face engagement, submissions and values and issues papers. Engagement and consultation with the Independent Maori Statutory Board has also been undertaken. Significant matters affecting Maori arising from the special consultative procedure will be presented to the Committee through the chapter report on Aucklands Maori, with cross-references to other chapters of the plan as appropriate. Further detail and recommendations will be provided to the Committee through the chapter report Aucklands Maori.

Significance of Decision
This report deals with the Auckland Plan which is a significant activity. The development of the Auckland Plan has been carried out in accordance with the special consultative procedure, as provided for in the Local Government Act 2002 (sections 83 and 87).
Maori Impact Statement

Consultation with Maori on the draft Auckland Plan occurred over 2011 beginning with 2 mayoral hui held in January. These were followed up with 8 sub-regional hui, 4 technical workshops and an additional 2 mayoral hui. All matters in relation to Maori content in the plan has been either drafted or reviewed by the Maori Strategy and Relationship Department. To assist the Auckland Council during the preliminary stages of drafting, the Maori Strategy and Relationship department identified significant issues concerning Maori in May 2011 and subsequently presented a supporting technical paper in August 2011 as part of a suite of papers that informed the draft. The department led the consultation process prior to adoption of the draft Auckland Plan and during the special consultative procedure. Iwi have made contributions through, direct face to face engagement, submissions and values and issues papers. Engagement and consultation with the Independent Maori Statutory Board has also been undertaken. Significant matters affecting Maori arising from the special consultative procedure will be presented to the Committee through the chapter report on Aucklands Maori, with cross-references to other chapters of the plan as appropriate. Further detail and recommendations will be provided to the Committee through the chapter report Aucklands Maori.
Consultation
The Auckland Plan consultation process has been undertaken in accordance with the special consultative procedure set out in sections 83 and 87 of the Local Government Act 2002. Auckland Council has involved central government, infrastructure providers (including network utility operators), the communities of Auckland, the private sector, the rural sector and a number of other parties in the preparation and development of the Auckland Plan in accordance with section 80 of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009. As noted above a parallel process of engagement with Mana whenua and Mataawaka has been undertaken.
Local Board Views

Local Boards have been engaged throughout the development of the Auckland Plan through presentations, meetings and workshops with the Committee and officers. All Local Boards presented their views on the Draft Auckland Plan through 3 hearings days held in November 2011 and nine of the 21 local boards made formal submissions on the Auckland Plan. A summary of Local Board views is provided in Attachment 2 and takes into account views expressed both in formal submissions and in presentations made in November 2011. This summary is a draft and has not yet been reviewed by the Local Boards or Local Board Services team. The views of local boards were also considered in relation to draft Auckland Plan chapters and topic areas and have informed proposed amendments to the draft Auckland Plan.
Financial and Resourcing Implications

The Auckland Plan is a multi-party plan that requires the commitment, funding and implementation from many different organisations in Auckland. The Auckland Council has a leadership role in both developing and delivering the Plan. The Councils contribution to funding the Auckland Plan will be detailed through the Long Term Plan. Preparation of Auckland Councils first generation Long Term Plan 2012-2022 is underway and will be completed by June 2012.

Auckland Future Vision Committee 03 February 2012 Auckland Plan Chapter 2 Report (Aucklands Maori) and Recommendations on Section A & C (Name of chapter) 1. Summary This report recommends three amendments to the Auckland Plan. The First proposed amendment is that Section A be redrafted and clarified to ensure that the Maori Relationship Framework is the overarching Treaty based relationship framework for the Auckland Council. Amendment 2 proposes a new Maori outcome statement in conjunction with a transformational shift statement. Following submissions on the draft Auckland Plan and the recommendations of the Independent Maori Statutory Board to incorporate a new outcome into the draft Long Term Plan it becomes necessary to now include both statements. The new Maori outcome recognizes the special place of Mana Whenua and the Treaty relationship proposed within the Maori Relationship Framework set out in Section A. It also galvanizes the intention of section A, chapter 2, and other chapters which have included aspects of Maori interests and aspirations. The transformational shift statement elucidates the changing contributions which Maori are now making through the realization of Treaty settlements, increased representation across the professional sector, increased participation in tertiary education and new industry growth centered on tourism, Information technology, aquaculture, communications and urban design. The third amendment is to Chapter 2. The changes required are relatively minor and are primarily associated with text and mapping. These have been provided for in a table as suggested changes. However this report also infers that further enhancement of Maori policy across the Auckland Plan in is required.
2. Major changes Background Submissions on the draft Auckland Plan have in large part evidenced support for the policies and directives relating to Maori aspirations. While there were requests to alter details pertaining to the layout and content of sections A, C and chapter 2, they were in large part either minor, or were more suitable for the Unitary Plan to consider. These latter matters have been passed onto the Unitary Plan team for comment and feedback. Of notable interest were those submissions suggesting stronger connections to those parts of the Auckland Plan specifically relating to Maori aspirations. Ngati Paoa Trust Board for example supported the provisions in chapter 2 for papakainga but suggested that the approach should be broader taking into consideration aspects of affordable housing, health and social and economic welfare. Other submissions captured wrap around issues which included transport, communication, housing, health, and land concerns. Others supported the Treaty as the foundation of the relationship between the Auckland Council and Maori. Attachment 4 sets out a summary of submissions made on chapter 2.

Item 10
Auckland Future Vision Committee 03 February 2012 In endeavoring to capture the sentience of these submissions it was considered that amendments to the higher level strategy statements would enable the Auckland Plan to have a broader sweep of all the issues raised by submitters. During analysis of preliminary sections of the draft Auckland Plan it was clear that section A (Treaty of Waitangi and Maori Relationship Framework) did not have equal visibility across chapters in the draft Auckland Plan. Whilst section A does promote the proposition of a framework addressing the relationship with Maori the draft Auckland Plan does not provide an end point or an outcome by While chapter 2 captured 5 significant issues relating to Maori it did not address the other equally important matters concerning economic development, environmental management and social well-being. Whilst chapters 1, 4 and 5 contain text which incorporates aspects of the technical paper on Maori there remains a void in other chapters such as chapter 7 which do not account for iwi management plans relating to land use and managing the effects on the environment. In effect this is either a symptom of the approach taken in drafting the chapters of the draft Auckland Plan where the outcomes in section C do not have any specific link or impact on the directives or priorities. Notably the lack of any outcome for Maori has also resulted in a patched and disconnected approach to Maori aspirations. In addition to the submissions made on the draft Auckland Plan there are internal requests notably from the Independent Maori Statutory Board (IMSB) that have required a response from Council and which will have an impact on the final state of the Auckland Plan. As part of their strategy to introduce changes to the way in which the Auckland Council undertakes its statutory responsibility to Maori, the IMSB tabled its Schedule of Issues of Significance before Council in August 2011. This document premises its contents with Te Tiriti o Waitangi Principles to which the issues of significance have been attached. Its intent is to inform Council of matters of significance to Maori and a series of actions to be undertaken by the Board. For example, the Board advocated for Maori Impact Assessments to be part of the report writing process. This action has been undertaken and has been in operation for the past 5 weeks. In conjunction with the Schedule of Issues of Significance to Maori, the IMSB also completed a review on the Long Term Plan. A workshop with the IMSB and the Strategy and Finance Committee was held on Thursday 18 November. At that meeting the Board presented its report The Findings of the Strategic and Budget review on the Long Term Plan. It contained recommendations which generally covered: agreement for the Board and Council to work together in the design of the LTP; and agreement to consider a proposed tikanga framework to inform the drafting of appropriate outcomes in the LTP. In all there are 5 recommendations in the report to which the Mayor and workshop attendees agreed to: a) The Long Term Plan include the set of Maori outcomes listed in the Independent Maori Statutory Boards report, linked to activities to achieve those outcomes, and associated indicators and that the Long Term Plans theme and activity sections are amended to include an assessment against Maori outcomes and targets b) Council as part of its consultation on the draft 2012-22 Long Term Plan engage with Maori of Tamaki Makaurau in the development of a final set of Maori outcomes, activities and indicators

Auckland Future Vision Committee 03 February 2012 c) The Independent Maori Statutory Board work with Council to finalise the Boards response on the activities and their required funding to achieve Maori strategic directions and outcomes d) Council review its activity and project budgets to advise what Maori focussed activities and projects will be funded from existing or legacy budgets (baseline budgets) e) Council and the Independent Mori Statutory Board Secretariat scope a programme of work to improve the Long Term Plan policy and budgeting processes to ensure its responsiveness to Maori and report back in December 2011. As a consequence of these matters, the proposition of an additional outcome for the Auckland Plan pertaining to Maori has been drafted. This is to ensure that the outcomes in the section C of the draft Auckland Plan recognise and provide for matters of significance related to Maori and that the LTP has an authoritative reference to draw upon. In addition to the proposed outcome, a new transformational shift statement has also been provided. Given the support by the Mayor to the recommendations made by the Independent Maori Statutory Board the following outcome only the first option has been attached as the starting point for discussions. Major change 1: Section A of the draft Auckland Plan Section A Page 9 of the draft Auckland Plan provides a brief discussion on the Treaty of Waitangi and its relationship to Auckland Council. The text accompanying figure A2 supports the principles, the articles and the various parties in the relationship band set within a local government context. Figure A2 is in fact part of figure A3 The Maori Relationship Framework which sets out the broader parameters of the Treaty relationship taking into account the two Maori entities, Mana Whenua and Mataawaka. The Maori Strategy and Relations Department developed figure A2 to diagrammatically explain how the Auckland Councils statutory obligations with regard to the Treaty are to be implemented. There has been some confusion concerning the two figures and which one takes precedence. To clarify this it is suggested that figure A2 be placed in a box with a line or arrow connecting to Te Tiriti o Waitangi in Figure A3. Paragraphs 33 to 35 should be placed under figure A3 to clarify that the explanation is in relation to the Maori Relationship Framework. The explanatory box on page 11 should be retained but shifted directly under the heading A.3 Te Tiriti o Waitangi The Treaty of Waitangi (p.9). This explanation sets out the rationale for the Auckland Plan incorporating a Maori Relationship Framework but more importantly provides the context in which the Auckland Council regards its statutory obligations with respect to the Treaty of Waitangi. To ensure that the discussion on the Treaty and the Maori Relationship Framework have a direct link to the operations and strategies of the Auckland Council, outcome and transitional statements in section C should now be included. Chapter 2 Aucklands Maori of the draft Auckland Plan and the map at the end of the chapter will require some minor amendments albeit include further information and text changes to clarify the directives and to update the map.

Major change 2: Additional Maori outcome statement and Transformational shift statement Enabling Mori Outcomes rationale for a new Maori outcome statement Across the region, Mori outcomes have been identified developed by a number of Mana Whenua and Mori communities (noting also the submissions and hearings on the draft Auckland Plan). 14 Mana Whenua iwi collaboratively developed a Mana Whenua Sustainability Framework called Te Kohao o Te Ngira. It is proposed that will be used as an integration point for the various Mana Whenua groups of Auckland, and the public sector in reviewing and developing major strategies. It is proposed that decision-making is undertaken in a manner that: recognises Mana Whenua as the regions indigenous people of the region accords value to Te ao Mori Gives due effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi/ Treaty of Waitangi Contributes to Mori needs and aspirations. Other examples of Mori outcomes plans include the Whatiaki Mori Outcomes Plan for Papakura. A Mori centred framework and model was developed under the stewardship of a steering group called Whaitiaki with a clear mandate and accountability from Mori in Papakura which prioritisied four specific outcomes: Decision Making Rangatahi Education Health The Independent Mori Statutory Board (IMSB) has complimented this work, through its own direct engagement with Mori communities through the initiation of three key initiatives; Schedule of Issues of Significance to Mori. Council Treaty of Waitangi Audit Mori Plan for Tmaki Makaurau The IMSB has worked closely with the Council to ensure its is working to respond more effectively to Mori needs and aspirations through the identification of a Mori specific community outcome, The identification of the Mori specific community outcome, has been underpinned by Councils engagement with Mori through the development of the Draft Auckland Plan, as well as the Boards own engagement with Mori through the initiatives identified above. The Mori specific outcome, Te Hau Te Whenua, Te Hau o Te Tangata Aucklands Mori identity is its special point of difference as a global city providing opportunities for all, is underpinned by eight priority outcome areas proposed for the draft long term plan:
Priority Area

Auckland Future Vision Committee 03 February 2012 Kaitakitanga - guardianship including stewardship Whi Tap - sacred ancestral sites and places of significance to iwi, hapu or whanau Rangatiratanga - selfdetermination Tangata whenua are empowered, enabled, respected and recognised in their customary kaitaki role Whi tap within the Auckland Region are protected Tmaki Makaurau hapu and iwi have the opportunity to exercise rangatiratanga/self determination Te Tiriti/ Treaty is recognised as the basis for the relationship between Mori, the Crown and Auckland Council Mori are empowered and enjoy high quality lives The mauri of the natural environment are in optimum health Mori knowledge and world views are respected, and its validity and value acknowledged The mana of Tmaki Makaurau iwi and hap is respected
Te Tiriti o Waitangi/ Treaty of Waitangi
Mauri - life-force and maintaining balance Mtauranga Mori - Mori knowledge, wisdom Mana Whenua - customary authority
Maori Outcome statement To encapsulate these priority areas a new outcome statement has been proposed for section C of the Auckland Plan. This is to align with the Long Term Plan outcome statement with respect to Maori interests and to give effect to the section A and chapter 2. The proposed Maori outcome statement is:
A Mori Identity that is Aucklands point of difference with the world Mana Whenua, the original inhabitants of Tmaki Makaurau, and other Mori originating from across Aotearoa - New Zealand who now live here, contribute to the social, cultural, economic and environmental success of Auckland. Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi is appropriately recognised and given effect with Mori in Tmaki Makaurau exercising their rangatiratanga /self determination. Mana Motuhake - The mana of Tmaki Makaurau iwi and hap is empowered, enabled and recognised in their customary kaitiaki role.

Mtauranga Mori, including Mori knowledge and world views are part of planning, decision-making and operations, with its validity and value acknowledged. Te Puawaitanga o te Tangata - All Mori are empowered and enjoy high quality lives in Tmaki Makaurau. Whanau live within healthy and safe communities supported by investment in marae, quality housing and efficient transport network. All Mori and particularly tamariki and rangatahi have a wide range of choices for education and employment. Auckland embraces the benefits arising from economic partnerships with Mori. Mori culture and identity, is celebrated by all Aucklanders, is a point of difference with the rest of the world and provides significant opportunity for Auckland to achieve outcomes that benefit all. This statement incorporates recognition of the Treaty of Waitangi, the Maori Relationship Framework and the statutory obligations of the Auckland Council in relation to these matters found in section A of the draft Auckland Plan.

Item 10
Whilst Chapter 2 of the draft Auckland Plan identifies 5 priority areas of significance a weakness exists in the link between section C this chapter and the other chapters of the draft Auckland plan. Chapter two does not contain all of the areas of significance identified in the supporting technical paper Maori Strategy and Policy in the Auckland Plan particularly those in relation to the economy and the environment. It is expected that where there is no recognition of significant issues to Maori that amendments to the chapters in the draft Auckland Plan be undertaken. This is to ensure that the implementation plans of the Auckland Council (LTP, Unitary Plan etc) are cognizant of not only what is contained in Chapter 2 but of what is expected through implementation of appropriate policies that will give effect to the new Maori outcome statement. Transformational shift statement Generally Maori aspirations are seen as separate or independent from the public good. To some extent this has been projected through the media and public response to Treaty settlements. Auckland Council can take the opportunity to effect step changes to its operations and policy development inducing a ripple effect across the Auckland region. Transitional shifts relating to Maori have to a large extent been determined by central government via legislation or through its general policy programmes. At the local government level, Manukau City Council was the most advanced in galvanising Maori interests through participation in decision making processes and formulation of policy. However, the Auckland Plan presents a new opportunity where the status of Maori interests and shifting the approach taken to them could be elevated within the Auckland Councils principle strategy document. The following statement is proposed for inclusion in the Auckland Plan: Significantly enhance Maori social and economic well-being In addition to Treaty Settlements and the investment potential that comes with them, the culture and flavour of the Maori identity has significantly contributed to the branding and promotion of New Zealand to the world. The national trend relating to investment and
Auckland Future Vision Committee 03 February 2012 potential economic growth is diversification and optimisation of niche markets. Tourism, Aquaculture, Hospitality, IT/software, communications and urban design are but some of the industries in which Maori are beginning to make a significant contribution. In terms of supporting the Maori economic potential, high achieving Maori in the knowledge economy, the removal of constraints on Maori Land, collaboration on integrated environmental outcomes, devolution of decision making over matters of significance to Maori, and recognition and implementation of viable partnerships for the benefit of Auckland, will create new opportunities to release latent social, economic and environmental benefits. A transformational shift requires a step change which will involve: 1. Enabling autonomous decision making over matters of significance to Maori which will have a positive effect on Maori well-being 2. Inculcation of Maori values into the structural and operational dynamics of the Auckland Council 3. Increasing the Maori contribution to the regional GDP 4. Increasing Maori representation on the Auckland Council and formalising governance relationships with Maori This shift will require a cultural shift by current decision makers with a view to integrate Maori processes and practices into the delivery of services, development of plans, allocation of resources and forging of sustainable partnerships . Ground up delivery of programmes driven by the community and iwi will better define targeting of resources. This requires a structural shift with respect to the Treaty of Waitangi from passive recognition to active implementation of its principles as part of the common good. Minor change 3: Changes to Chapter 2 Aucklands Maori Nearly all of the proposed changes to chapter 2 are minor and can be addressed during the final editing phase.

Delete this paragraph Insert The direction and outcome statements provide guidance for all policy relating to Maori interests and promotes the following principles: General comment Submissions from iwi groups were very supportive of this priority area and in some cases suggested that the target for papakainga development be increased. Submissions from Mataawaka organizations also supported this initiative and suggested a similar priority for them. Caution needs to be taken here when applying the concept of papakainga as it has a direct relationship to the mana of the land and the mana of iwi. In the case of Mataawaka a similar approach could be undertaken in association with an affordable housing approach, and, under a different name. The term for papakainga and the concept explained in the supporting technical paper applies to Mana Whenua. However an additional paragraph could be inserted to accommodate Mataawaka interests: Proposed paragraph The papakainga concept is not limited to the cultural configurations attached to iwi and can be applied to Mataawaka interests as a sub-set of affordable housing incorporating similar supporting infrastructure found in papakainga. This is a significant step forward when considering the housing issues for over 90 percent of the Maori population. The Auckland Council acknowledges that papakainga applies to the development of Maori ancestral land or where appropriate on land held in general title by Mana Whenua.

3. Implications for other chapters The proposed Maori Outcome will have a broader influence on the Auckland Plan where future implementation plans, strategies and policies would need to consider the level of impact on Maori. The Auckland Plan has been drafted in a manner that enables this outcome to be accommodated without any major text changes to chapters. Auckland Plan directives should align to the proposed outcome on matters of significance to Maori, in particular those targets which align with or may be associated with the priority areas identified in chapter 2. Chapters 7, 9, 10, and 11 may require review to ensure that Maori interests are recognised and addressed in any future work guided by the Auckland Plan. The table below provides some analysis of those chapters and possible implications/concerns. Chapter 7 Comment Priority 1: The majority of Maori Freehold land is located on Great Barrier however poor access prohibits any potential development. Due to its isolation the cost benefit in achieving directive 7.1 would require special consideration. Agriculture opportunities would not be a priority here, but where rural production is possible and has potential the Auckland Council would need to accommodate Great Barriers special circumstances (Check schedule for list of villages on Great barrier) Priority 2: Papakainga will figure largely in developing rural settlements that will include wrap around services (transport, communications, other infrastructure, commercial development, land use and zoning). Paragraph 478 does refer to chapter 2 priority 1, however this is at odds with the intention to promote growth in particular towns. Directive 7.4: promotes growth in towns. It is expected that papakainga in rural areas will eventually become villages in their own right with marae as their centre of activity. High interest has been shown by iwi to facilitate economic growth on their ancestral lands, some accommodation then should be made to address Directive 2.1 as an enabler of Directive 7.4 taking into consideration schedule 2 on page 109. Schedule 2 p.109 Oneroa has not been included in the list of Rural and Coastal Villages. This is the main centre on the Island. Could include stronger reference to Mataawaka marae and housing development similar to the papakainga concept proposed for Mana Whenua. There is a significant Maori interest in participating in infrastructure development particularly in the areas of water management, transport, telecommunications, transport and cultural institutions. Waikato iwi have taken a significant step forward in Aucklands infrastructure since settlement over the Waikato River.

Item 10
Auckland Future Vision Committee 03 February 2012 Tamaki iwi have repeatedly voiced concerns over the management of storm water, waste water, run-off and have offered alternative approaches that address Maori values pertaining to environmental and economic sustainability. There are also cross-cutting considerations which seem to be missing from this section for example the outcomes of Treaty Settlements, marae and papakainga development, desecration of waahi tapu and processes to implement better protection of them. Roading and access to Marae are among some of the matters arising from submissions. More importantly it is the impact of transport networks on Maori interests such as waahi tapu. However there is also positive interest from Maori in transport. Aside from its investment potential, there is support for a more effective public transport network, reducing carbon emissions, and collaboration with planners on aesthetic design. The point of difference for Auckland will be its Maori identity. As visitors from overseas arrive at the port or the international import the icons of New Zealand should be clearly visible in the approach taken to urban form, including the means by which it is accessed. Collaboration with Ngati Whatua over the design of the Victoria Park Tunnel is a watershed and a key starting point for influencing the way in which Aucklanders and visitors see the city and the region.

290_ Section A of this Plan sets out the Maori Relationship Framework which proposes the Treaty relationship between the Auckland Council, Mana Whenua and Mataawaka. It incorporates the statutory obligations of the Auckland Council to Maori and the means by which Maori can contribute to the future development of Auckland. 291_ This Chapter identifies 5 issues specifically relating to Mori interests. There are other Chapters which deal with issues affecting the broad community including Mori, e.g. issues relating to Mori and natural resources are relevant to Chapter 5, Aucklands Environment, and issues relating to the economic and social development of Mori are relevant to Chapter 1, Aucklands People and Chapter 4, Aucklands Economy. 292_ Given the unique position that Mori hold, the Draft Auckland Plan seeks to enable and support Mana Whenua and Mataawaka aspirations and to provide them with the opportunities to contribute to the future development of Auckland. To facilitate this we must set in place some fundamental tenets that will guide future outcomes. These must include: creating a relationship where Mori are able to make important decisions concerning matters of significance to them making smarter decisions about how best to support these aspirations forming sustainable partnerships with Mori that have mutually beneficial region-wide outcomes recognising and providing for the customary right outcomes from historical Treaty Settlements and contemporary claims made under the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011. 293_ The Human Rights Commission Discussion paper recommends incorporating the values, cultures and beliefs of the Mori people in all policies developed for the future of New Zealand.

Figure 2.1 Treaty of Waitangi56
The direction and outcome statements provide guidance for all policy relating to Maori interests and promotes the following principles.:
Decision-making and resources:

create sustainable models for governance establish partnerships that enhance the Mori contribution to the vision for Auckland investigate alternative decision making processes which empower parties to an agreement provide appropriate levels of support to enable Mori initiatives.
Sustaining reciprocal relationships:

inform Auckland of the history and special place of Mana Whenua develop collaborative processes that promote a better understanding of significant issues affecting Mori in the region help communities to break down barriers and embrace the culture that is New Zealands key point of difference with the world.
PRIORITY 1 ESTABLISH PAPAKAINGA IN AUCKLAND

296_ Papakinga have the potential to become a model for community/village development. Like marae, papakinga are an important extension of who iwi are, where they came from and their aspirations for future
Page 44

development. Establishing papakinga continues to be an important matter for iwi. There are several interlinking issues that need to be addressed to achieve this, including constraints on Mori ancestral land, location and access to sites, and the financial costs which are often beyond the means of most iwi. Although Treaty settlements may alleviate some constraints facing iwi, they are not panaceas for all problems. The Auckland Council can consider a range of actions outside the Treaty settlement framework that will enhance papakainga development. 297_ Many of the constraints to papakainga development are associated with the costs: resource consents, plan changes, contributions in lieu and building fees. The cost, in combination with rating policy, can act to constrain iwi from maximising land use and developing papakainga. Papakainga also present an opportunity to have an integrated approach to community or village development. This requires a range of co ordinated support mechanisms that integrate funding, health and education initiatives, and economic development. While papakainga have traditionally been associated with Mori lands, there is an opportunity for papakainga to be established on other lands as a means of enhancing Mori well being and providing an alternative model for urban development. 298_ The papakainga concept is not limited to the cultural configurations attached to iwi and can be applied to Mataawaka interests as a sub-set of affordable housing incorporating similar supporting infrastructure found in papakainga. This is a significant step forward when considering the housing issues for over 90 percent of the Maori population. The Auckland Council acknowledges that papakainga applies to the development of Maori ancestral land or where appropriate on land held in general title by Mana Whenua.
Directive 2.1 Investigate and implement a suite of options to support papakainga development on both traditional Mori land and general land. Priority 2 Enable tangata whenua to participate in the co management of natural resources
298_ In recent times, Treaty of Waitangi land claims required central and local governments to re-examine their overall relationship with Tangata Whenua in regard to natural resource management. As a result, comanagement/governance has emerged as a mechanism which both central and local government and Tangata Whenua agree is a tenable approach to address not only management, but also ownership of natural resources. The co management between Ngati Whatua o Orakei and the former Auckland City Council, a direct product of the Orakei Act 1991, is an example of a negotiated settlement between iwi and the Crown. Such agreements acted as the impetus for the incorporation of joint management agreements under the Resource Management Act 1991.

299_ Iwi have a particular interest in the management of natural resources across Auckland. The time taken to engage with iwi over plan changes and resource consents is disjointed and often cumbersome to an effective resource management regime. In particular, costs associated with responding to various planning and resource consent applications and identifying the appropriate iwi authority amount to poor outcomes and objectives not considered in the early consultation phases. The comparative lack of resource available to Mana Whenua groups is also often a hurdle to their effective participation in co-management. Mana Whenua must be given the opportunity to effectively participate in the co-governance and management of natural resources, cognisant of Treaty settlement outcomes and within the current regulatory framework.
Directive 2.2 Implement a co-governance and management framework in collaboration with Mana Whenua. Priority 3 Explore partnerships with mana whenua to protect, identify and manage waahi tapu sites
300_ The unique heritage and cultural features of Auckland have been depleted and continue to be under threat as a result of urban expansion and some farming activities. The greatest impact of cultural and heritage loss has been on Mana Whenua. Mana Whenua across Auckland have consistently remonstrated against the loss and damage to waahi tapu and sites of significant cultural heritage. The strong spiritual relationship of Mana Whenua with waahi tapu means that even when such places have passed out of their ownership or have been damaged, destroyed or desecrated, they can still be highly valued and tapu (sacred). Provisions regarding waahi tapu and sites of significance are expressed in numerous pieces of legislation and are commonly at the heart of environment court action. They also form part of Treaty settlement claims. There is now an urgency to identify, manage and protect waahi tapu and other significant sites associated with Mana Whenua.
Directive 2.3 Recognise and provide for the unique cultural heritage status of waahi tapu. Priority 4 Enable Maori aspirations for thriving and self sustaining Marae
301_ With the cycle of building in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, many marae in Auckland are now due for upgrades and need new facilities to meet existing and future demand. However, the ability of marae to
Page 46

qualify for funding for larger facilities is hindered by high initial outlay in terms of up front contributions, concept and design work, feasibility studies, and resource consents. In addition, it is often difficult for Mori land owners to raise capital for marae works through land sale or debt financing. Banks view Mori freehold land as problematic, as there may be multiple owners, and expired or outdated succession orders. Where alienation of land is the final option to release capital, there are stringent requirements under Te Ture Whenua Mori Act, which in many cases makes this option untenable. Despite their community development function, marae do not qualify for development contributions. 302_ Marae can be a focal point for social, economic and cultural development. The feasibility of supporting marae facilities and projects must be assessed and new ways of funding investigated. This includes possible private sector participation. The core tenet to any approach must, however, be based on continued Mori governance and control over marae. Marae are often the desired site for papakainga developments, and housing for kuia and kaumatua is also often a priority.
Directive 2.4 Support marae development to achieve social, economic and cultural development.
303_ Specific Mori Outcomes for Manukau, Papakura and Waitakere have been developed by former councils. The development of specific Mori outcomes arose as a consequence of: dense Mori populations in these areas local Mori advocacy, and long-standing relationships with councils respective councils commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi a belief that measurable, well-being gains for Mori can most effectively be achieved by focusing on Mori priorities. 304_ Core issues for Mori outcomes are: capacity for independent governance and management capability planning relationships. 58 305_ Fostering the facilitation of robust Mori outcomes is a strategic social investment for the future of Mori communities. Through proactive relationship building and engagement with wider Mori communities the strategic gains will be: infrastructure to support robust democratic participation by Mori communities in shaping Auckland, and achieving Mori outcomes social cohesion good governance.
Directive 2.5 Prioritise facilitation of Mori outcomes through a comprehensive and coordinated development programme.

25_ The Draft Auckland Plan is the strategy to make Auckland an even better place than it is now: to create the worlds most liveable city. 26_ The Auckland Plan is for all Aucklanders. On behalf of Aucklanders, the Auckland Council has prepared the Plan by engaging with stakeholders and considering the feedback from Aucklanders, other New Zealanders and from overseas. Actions are required by many parties including council, government, business, community and others. Council welcomes your feedback and ideas on the Draft Plan. You are encouraged to make suggestions which could improve this draft Plan, using any of the methods described in Section A.5.
A.2 Why an Auckland Plan?

27_ Given the recent governance changes, Auckland has the unique opportunity to give some serious thought to its future. The Auckland Plan is the mechanism by which we can do this where we can speak with one voice and collaborate with our neighbours and central government to ensure the prosperity of Aucklanders and contribute to the prosperity of all of New Zealand. 28_ As part of its planning role, the Auckland Council is required to produce the Auckland Plan; a longterm strategy (20-30 years) that contributes to Aucklands social, economic, environmental and cultural well being. The Auckland Plan sets out: long-term objectives - social, economic, environmental and cultural - for Auckland and its communities Aucklands role in New Zealand existing land use patterns and how Auckland will grow and develop in the future existing and future locations of critical infrastructure facilities, such as transport, water supply, wastewater and stormwater, other network utilities, open space and social infrastructure areas of national and regional significance for ecology, recreation and open space, landscapes, heritage, natural features and environmental importance what policies, priorities, land allocations, programmes and investments will be needed to achieve the Auckland Plans strategies. 29_ The development of the initial Plan for Auckland presents a unique challenge and opportunity to visualise what kind of place we want to develop, and determine how we are to renew, to transform and to change. This is not up to the Auckland Council, though it certainly can make a major contribution through its operations and agencies (Figure A.1). We all have a part to play to help secure Aucklands future in an increasingly globalised and competitive world. We need to ensure that the changes Auckland experiences over the next 30 years are catalysts for enhancing, rather than degrading, our prosperity and quality of life. The way to achieve the best result is for Aucklanders to make their contributions now.

A.3 Te Ti ri - ti o- Waitangi The Treaty of Waitangi

30_ Box A.2 provides background about the Treaty of Waitangi and its importance for Auckland. Figure A.3 provides a Maori Relationship Framework for setting out the core elements which the Auckland Council has identified that will enable robust relationships to be developed with Mori. Figure A2 provides a conceptual explanation of how the articles and principles of the Treaty of Waitangi apply to the Auckland Council: Article 1 Kawanatanga / governance relates to the governance structure of New Zealand. Article 2 Tino Rangatiratanga / self determination relates to iwi / Mori entitlements under the Treaty to control how resources will be managed, used, developed and protected. Caring and restoring the health of Papatuanuku / earth and Ranganui / sky is consistent with Rangatiratanga because Rangatiratanga confers not only status but also responsibility to ensure that the natural world and its resources are maintained into the future. Local government acts as an agent of the Crown in administering the Resource Management Act 1991 which is the principal statute that governs natural resource management in New Zealand. Article 3 Oritetanga / citizenship guarantees Mori the same rights of citizenship as all New Zealanders. This is relevant to issues such as health, education, housing and social and cultural well being which are included in this Plan.
32_ The Treaty, in law, is currently being articulated through a set of principles that are being developed over time. These include: reciprocity rangatiratanga partnership active protection options mutual benefit right of development redress context
33_ Auckland Council is developing a Maori Relationship Framework framework for its own operations which will be underpinned by the tribal maxim, Te Pai me Te Whai Rawa o Tamaki the abundance and prosperity of Auckland. The basis of this framework is shown in Figure A.3. 34_ The framework identifies four key drivers to guide councils relationship with Mori: Te Tiriti Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi Mana Whenua Mana Motuhake self-sustainability, self-identity, self-determination Mataawaka Te Puawaitanga o Te Tangata Realisation of Mori Potential Councils statutory obligations.

A.4 Key implementation strategies and plans

36_ There are two critical Auckland Council plans that will help implement the Auckland Plan over the first 10 years of its life. They are the Unitary Plan which details how we design, develop and grow the city; and the Long Term Plan which prioritises the funding to deliver the plan on a staged basis. The diagram below shows graphically how the Auckland Plan relates to the Councils other key strategies, policies and plans.
Long Term Plan

37_ Every three years the Auckland Council must prepare a Long Term Plan. This is a statutory plan that describes the Councils intended activities, key projects and programmes, and funding information for a 10year period. The Long Term Plan will be councils key funding tool for the Auckland Plan. Auckland Councils first Long Term Plan will be adopted in 2012.
Local board plans and agreements

38_ Local boards also review the development of their own plans every three years. These plans set out the priorities and key projects each local board and its community have identified for its area. These priorities have informed the development of the Draft Auckland Plan and will inform the development of the Long

Box A.2 The Auckland Plan and The Treaty of Waitangi The Auckland Plan and the IMPLE MENT ATION PLANS The Treaty of Waitangi is the founding document of our nation. Since its signing in 1840 it has undergone intense scrutiny from many quarters, including Mori, concerning its validity, constitutional integrity, and status in what is now a global community. The Treaty, however, remains an enduring and living document and its principles continue to guide legislative provisions and rulings by the Court of Appeal and the New Zealand Supreme Court. Since the establishment of the Waitangi Tribunal in 1975 and the subsequent Treaty settlement process, a new dynamic has developed. Court and Tribunal decisions and settlements have recognised customary rights which now require a response from authorities such as the Auckland Council. There are many different iwi in Auckland (see below). Several agreements are due to be signed within the next two years, which will result in increased participation by Mori in matters relating to economic development, co-governance, and community development. This creates an opportunity for local government to work with Mori to ensure just and fair solutions to Mori issues. Customary rights may also be recognised through mechanisms other than the Treaty. For example, the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 enables iwi to claim customary marine title areas as a form of property right. Such contemporary claims require outcomes that will give effect to customary rights in a manner that will ensure the future development of Auckland embraces this new horizon for Mori. It is therefore critical that the Auckland Plan has the appropriate policies and strategies in place. The Treaty of Waitangi has long been a driver compelling individuals and groups to action. The Auckland Plan is a watershed opportunity to change the discourse around Treaty obligations and ensure that authorities such as the Auckland Council act in a way which is cognisant of the need to recognise Mori values and work to deliver Mori aspirations. The Treaty of Waitangi can play a key role in creating a vision for Auckland that facilitates, for example, partnerships between communities, alternative approaches to urban design, and delivers a range of resulting benefits to all Aucklanders.

Term Plan. The first local board plans are due in October 2011. In addition, annual agreements between Local Boards and the Governing Body set out what funding will be available for key projects in their areas.
Item 10 Attachment C
Unitary plan
39_ The unitary plan is the Councils key land use planning document. It takes an overall view of the whole of Auckland. The unitary plan will set the rules for development in the region and is an important tool for implementing the strategic directions set in the Auckland Plan. Auckland Council must develop a new unitary plan to replace the district plans of the former regional council, city and district councils.
Other key strategies and plans

40_ Over time the Council will also develop and consult on a range of more detailed strategies, policies and plans that will map out how the priorities of the Auckland Plan will be achieved. The Council will also work with a range of stakeholders and partners to identify the best ways to deliver the outcomes and priorities of the Plan. We want to hear what you think.
Note: The Economic Development Strategy is a core strategy (above). The Auckland City Centre Masterplan and the Waterfront Masterplan are
equivalent to area plans for the city centre.

C.1
Aucklands Vision
107_ Auckland can become the most liveable city by 2040 if we have the courage and determination to implement this Draft Auckland Plan. Being the most liveable city means Auckland will have an outstanding quality of life, economic opportunity and sense of belonging.
C.2 Outcomes: what the vision means in 2040

108_ We already love Auckland because of what it offers. Yet by 2040, Auckland will be a much better place. The desired outcomes of this plan are:
A fair, safe and healthy Auckland

109_ Auckland in 2040 is a strong and equitable society. There is significantly less disadvantage and local communities are actively involved in shaping and leading their own future. Our children and young people are supported and thrive in their communities. They are safe and cared for. The educational and skill achievements of all Aucklanders are the highest they have ever been. The next generation is well equipped for the future. 110_ All Aucklanders think of Auckland as their true home. Strong families, community spirit and cohesion is seen everywhere, and people value the excellent services and facilities available. There is no discrimination nor any barriers to participation, and we participate significantly in civic and cultural life. 111_ All Aucklanders are housed well. We are healthy and active people.

Item 10 Attachment D
A Green Auckland
112_ Our waterways and coastlines are clean and healthy, and sea life abounds. Everyone enjoys Aucklands natural and marine heritage and the world recognises the way we protect and care for it. Our air is clean and we have low greenhouse gas emissions. We have one of the lowest water consumption rates for a city our size. We capitalize on our reputation as clean and green by observing stringent sustainability criteria in our building and development; and leverage our expertise in land-based production in the development of leading-edge clean tech and green technology. 113_ Many Aucklanders prefer to use public transport or telecommute. Auckland has a resilient energy supply, much of it coming from sustainable sources. Our homes are well-insulated and highly energyefficient, with low household energy costs. 114_ Auckland has a tremendous linked network of green and public open space - from maunga to moana. Our safe streets, parks and playgrounds are lined with trees and form green oases throughout the city. Protected native bush and wetlands abound and help create our many stable eco-systems.
An Auckland of prosperity and opportunity

115_ Auckland provides employment for everyone, from the most advanced high-value, clean tech firms to the critical jobs that keep Auckland going. The knowledge and skills of our people match the demands of our vibrant and strong performing economy, which provides opportunities for all Aucklanders to participate in fully. 116_ Auckland is known throughout the world for its innovation. Our excellent tertiary institutions and entrepreneurial firms continue to commercialise the ideas coming from their research. High-tech industries reap the benefits from locating in science and technology clusters, while our universities prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers for industry. Industry and manufacturing continue to be important parts of our economy. 117_ Our many small and medium businesses also flourish and many of them have set new benchmarks in green growth and technologies. Though the city centre and waterfront is Aucklands business and cultural heart, businesses are found across Auckland and provide local employment for many. They are also well connected with each other and across the world, especially with India and South-East Asia. At the same time Mori have made significant investments in Aucklands economy and are major players in the region.
A well connected and accessible Auckland

118_ Auckland plays a big and important role in New Zealands success. Our seaport and airport connect New Zealand to the rest of the world and are critical parts of our strong export economy. A key feature is how easy it is to move goods and freight from door to door. 119_ Our roading network is complete and serves Auckland well. Public transport is the way most Aucklanders travel to work because it is comfortable and extremely convenient. Visitors comment about how easy it is to get around Auckland. 120_ Our infrastructure and utilities are in step with our growth, and are well networked, connected and built to last. Schools, libraries, hospitals, sport and other facilities serve communities well, and deliver services through the most up-to-date technology through our world-class telecommunications network.
A beautiful Auckland that is loved by its people

121_ Auckland is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Our urban areas are vibrant, full of character and designed for people to enjoy. Locally, communities and volunteers work together to create places that they value and which reflect who they are. We are the place where people come to see what cities of the future could be like.
Page 60

122_ Rural Auckland is a hive of activity. Our produce makes a significant contribution to Aucklands exports, and is highly valued locally. The environmental health, and sustainable practices that are a way of life, underpin our trademark of fresh and local. The outlook for rural production remains strong. Our rural towns and villages are great places to live and work. They are the hub for surrounding communities and continue to serve their needs. 123_ Aucklanders love to be out-and about and to take part in the many things on offer. There is something for everyone, from vineyards, farmers markets and farm-stays, to theatres, museums and art galleries. We are proud of our place and take pleasure in sharing it with the many tourists and visitors who come here.
A culturally rich and creative Auckland

124_ Arts and culture are alive and well in Auckland. We have a full, year round arts and cultural programme that offers something for everyone. Our major arts and cultural institutions are known world-wide for their excellence and they are major tourist drawing cards. As Aucklanders, we are known for our creativity and innovation. This is clear in the quality of our arts and also in the creative industry that is a major export earner. 125_ Locally, arts and cultural expression have strengthened communities through involvement, understanding and participation. Arts and culture are part of everyday life.
A Mori Identity that is Aucklands point of difference with the world

Mana Whenua, the original inhabitants of Tmaki Makaurau, and other Mori originating from across Aotearoa - New Zealand who now live here, contribute to the social, cultural, economic and environmental success of Auckland. Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi is appropriately recognised and given effect with Mori in Tmaki Makaurau exercising their rangatiratanga /self determination. Mana Motuhake - The mana of Tmaki Makaurau iwi and hap is empowered, enabled and recognised in their customary kaitiaki role. The Whi Tapu of Mana Whenua within the Auckland Region are protected and the mauri of ancestral lands and waters are in optimum health. Mtauranga Mori, including Mori knowledge and world views are part of planning, decision-making and operations, with its validity and value acknowledged. Te Puawaitanga o te Tangata - All Mori are empowered and enjoy high quality lives in Tmaki Makaurau. Whanau live within healthy and safe communities supported by investment in marae, quality housing and efficient transport network. All Mori and particularly tamariki and rangatahi have a wide range of choices for education and employment. Auckland embraces the benefits arising from economic partnerships with Mori. Mori culture and identity, is celebrated by all Aucklanders, is a point of difference with the rest of the world and provides significant opportunity for Auckland to achieve outcomes that benefit all.
C.3 Principles we will work by to achieve the outcomes

126_ How we go about achieving our vision and outcomes requires a change in behaviour that takes forward the following principles outlined in Box C.1 below.
Box C.1 Principles

Work together
Attachment D
Item 10

Work collaboratively and as partners on the priorities identified in the Draft Auckland Plan. Recognise the interdependence of projects, programmes and initiatives. Value te Ao Mori Acknowledge the special place of Mana Whenua and enable their participation in decision-making. Build lasting and reciprocal relationships with Aucklands Mori. Be sustainable Take a long-term view and have the resilience and flexibility to adapt to changing conditions that affect our communities, our economy, our environment and our infrastructure. Do more with less. Act fairly Consider the needs of all groups in the community to ensure that all Aucklanders can participate equally.
Attachment D
Make the best use of every dollar spent Act prudently and commit to projects and initiatives that achieve the best value result without compromising quality, or stifling creativity and innovation. Focus on achieving long-term benefits and intergenerational equity. Check progress and adapt to improve Monitor and evaluate every initiative to ensure we move in the right direction. Adapt accordingly and continually improve the way we are working to achieve Aucklands vision.
Item 10
Page 62

127_ The above principles reflect an eco city approach and the creation of healthy neighbourhoods as expressed in Figure C.1 below. The eco city approach represents a strong commitment to conserving resources, minimising waste and preserving biodiversity and the natural habitat to enhance liveability and generate new sustainable economic opportunities. The eco city concept is consistent with traditional Matauranga Mori and Tikanga understanding around sustainable living and while having a strong focus on the natural environment, is also closely linked with the idea of a greener urban and rural economy.
C.4 Transformational shifts to achieve the vision

128_ Our vision will not be achieved by incremental change. Of all the important changes we need to make, a few things stand out as being critically important. The five transformational shifts we need to make are:
1. Dramatically accelerate the prospects of Aucklands children and young people

129_ Auckland has very high rates of 15- to 19-year-old unemployment compared with other OECD cities. High unemployment leads to other social issues and Aucklands youth, on average, have high rates of criminal offences, teenage births, suicide, obesity, cannabis use and hazardous drinking. The long tail of educational underachievement, particularly in the South and West of Auckland and pockets in other areas, is a waste of the potential of many of our young people. Disadvantage is strongly concentrated in Mori and Pacific ethnic groups. 130_ Education is the key to transform the prospects of Aucklands children and young people. Education depends on the policies and strategies of central government to a large extent. Chapter 1, Aucklands People, recommends three simple targets: all pre-school children demonstrate readiness for success in school and life through early childhood education or learning each and every young person in Auckland will graduate from secondary school with at least NCEA level 2 each and every young adult will complete a post-secondary qualification. 131_ Achieving these targets will place all young people in Auckland on the high road to educational success, employment and lifelong learning.
2. Strongly commit to environmental action and green growth

132_ Recent studies have shown that the health of Aucklands natural environment is not what it should be, especially our coastal and marine environment. More concerted effort in protecting and restoring our environment, and respecting its values is needed to achieve the required transformation. 133_ This shift requires a fundamentally different approach to the way we grow and develop. More sustainable buildings, infrastructure and practices such as energy efficiency and waste minimization must become part of how we do things in Auckland. It also requires restoring and enhancing our natural environment including improving our biodiversity, quality of our air, land, waters and seas to back up our international brand. 134_ Chapter 6, Aucklands Response to Climate Change, sets the target to deliver the goal of a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions relative to 1990 levels by 2030, and a transition to a low carbon economy. The Development Strategy, Chapter 8, Urban Auckland and Chapter 10, Aucklands Infrastructure give further direction on green development. 135_ There is also an emerging global shift towards green growth, driven by a growing awareness of environmental challenges and the pressure on global resources. The OECD country report on New Zealand (2011), recommends greening the growth path to give long-run competitive advantage. The Governments Green Growth Advisory Group in July 2011 said that economies will shift to more sustainable practices,
Attachment D
Item 10

driven by change in many sectors including consumer preferences, market demand, business strategy, government policy, global governance and the emergence of clean tech technologies. Our ability to anticipate and respond appropriately to these changes is critical to maintain and strengthen our competitiveness and positive reputation in the global market place. 136_ New Zealand is already known for its innovation in some of the green industries through leveraging its land-based expertise. The transformation required is to capitalise on our present position and expand further into green technologies. There are major opportunities and advantages in this and Auckland and New Zealand can be world leaders in this field. 137_ The Development Strategy and other Chapters throughout give further direction on green development and action.
Item 10 Attachment D
3. Move to outstanding public transport within one network

138_ The congestion on Aucklands transport network has become increasingly intolerable. Any motorist who sits in traffic for an hour or more during rush hour can explain what the problem is. 139_ The transformational shift required is to create an integrated transport system, planned, developed and operated as one network. It must provide effective connections internationally, inter-regionally, and within Auckland. 140_ Most significantly, over the next 30 years Auckland requires a transformational shift towards greater use of public transport. Chapter 11, Aucklands Transport, sets a target to increase trips by public transport, cycling and walking from 23% currently, to 37% of trips by 2040. This will be achieved through a range of measures: integrated ticketing, infrastructure projects such as the City Rail Link, rail to the airport and the additional harbour crossing, busways and bus feeder services, land use planning, intensification in rail corridors and effective travel demand management.
4. Radically improve the quality of urban living

141_ Auckland has a stunningly beautiful natural environment. By contrast, with notable exceptions, the built environment is a mixed bag. There are many examples of poor quality architectural and urban design: poor living places, poor building design, bland streetscapes, lack of green spaces, poor design of public spaces and one of the citys most beautiful assets, the waterfront, is largely cut off from the city centre. 142_ The quality of urban living in the central city, and in urban and rural town centres and villages, must radically transform. This requires a radical improvement in design particularly in creating a more human Auckland where the beauty of the built environment enhances the everyday experience of people. 143_ Chapter 8, Urban Auckland, sets out the plan for the transformation of Aucklands urban environment, including the urban settlements in our rural areas.
5. Substantially raise living standards for all Aucklanders and focus on those most in need
144_ Auckland has multiple challenges to living standards. Over the last few decades, New Zealand has slipped down the OECD countries list for GDP per capita, from near the top to near the bottom. GDP is, of course, only one measure of well being, but economic wealth underpins our ability to fund much that supports our quality of life. There are wide socio-economic disparities in Auckland, with a heavy concentration of social deprivation in the South and, to a lesser extent, in the West. 145_ The transformational shift required is to achieve a step-change in economic growth, and to ensure that all Aucklanders enjoy the benefits of that growth. 146_ Chapter 4, Aucklands Economy, sets out bold economic targets over the next 30 years that will: raise productivity growth from current 1% p.a to 2% p.a
Page 64

raise export growth from current 3% p.a to 5% p.a raise GDP growth from current 3% p.a to 5% p.a. 147_ This shift will require a structural change in the Auckland economy, from being import-led and domestically focused, to being more export driven. It also requires a shift to new economy industries and long-term sustainable growth, and substantial improvements in educational achievement and skills.
6. Significantly enhance Maori social and economic well-being

In addition to Treaty Settlements and the investment potential that comes with them, the culture and flavour of the Maori identity has significantly contributed to the branding and promotion of New Zealand to the world. The national trend relating to investment and potential economic growth is diversification and optimisation of niche markets. Tourism, Aquaculture, Hospitality, IT/software, communications and urban design are but some of the industries in which Maori are beginning to make a significant contribution. In terms of supporting the Maori economic potential, high achieving Maori in the knowledge economy, the removal of constraints on Maori Land, collaboration on integrated environmental outcomes, devolution of decision making over matters of significance to Maori, and recognition and implementation of viable partnerships for the benefit of Auckland, will create new opportunities to release latent social, economic and environmental benefits. A transformational shift requires a step change which will involve: 1. Enabling autonomous decision making over matters of significance to Maori which will have a positive effect on Maori well-being 2. Integration of Maori values into the structural and operational dynamics of the Auckland Council 3. Increasing the Maori contribution to the regional GDP 4. Increasing Maori representation on the Auckland Council and formalising governance relationships with Maori This shift will require a cultural shift by current decision makers with a view to integrate Maori processes and practices into the delivery of services, development of plans, allocation of resources and forging of sustainable partnerships . Delivery of programmes driven by the community and iwi will better define targeting of resources. This requires a structural shift with respect to the Treaty of Waitangi from passive recognition to active implementation of its principles as part of the common good.
C.5 Strategic directions

148_ The Chapters that follow traverse a wide range of strategic directions to help Auckland make these shifts and achieve our vision for 2040. Our directions (listed below in Box C.2) come together as a highlevel Development Strategy for Auckland that describes how Auckland will grow and change to become the quality compact city we need it to be. 149_ Each Chapter has a strategic direction aligned to Aucklands vision to be the most liveable city. The targets support the strategic direction. Within the Chapters, priorities which we will focus on are identified. Each priority contains a number of directions which are effectively the policy framework for the Plan. Some directives include a set of principles to guide decision making. Directives are in turn supported by a range of actions. These actions are contained in Table 12.5 in Chapter 12: Implementation Framework. Additionally, measureable targets for each Chapter have been developed so we can monitor our progress. This is shown diagrammatically as follows:

306_ Our arts, culture, and heritage and healthy lifestyles connect and strengthen us as communities. They not only Arts, culture, heritage and sporting involvements provide enjoyment, and they challenge us to see the world through the eyes of others, to connect across cultural divides, to celebrate our differences and to explore new ideas and diverse ways of living. 307_ At the broadest level culture reflects the shared attitudes, values, goals and practices of a group of people. Our arts, culture, and heritage and outdoor lifestyle are central features of Aucklands character and identity and help to attract people to visit and live here. Both indoor and outdoor cultural experiences attract Aucklanders and New Zealanders, who might otherwise go abroad to find them. 308_ At the broadest level culture reflects the shared attitudes, values, goals and practices of a group of people. A diversity of cultures forms the rich heart of Auckland. It is who we are. It is the key to our past, but also who we might become in the future. 309_ To this day, the Mori culture and art is core to what distinguishes us from other cities in the world. The cultures of our significant Pacific populations are also defining features. 310_ At the same time, Auckland has become increasingly ethnically diverse and this trend is likely to continue as Over the decades migrants to Auckland have brought bring with them their own cultures (See Chapter 1). 311_ Aucklands diverse ethnicities and populations sustain and share and sometimes combine their individual cultural traditions, including music, performance, art, literature, lifestyles, and gardens, and other customs. These cultural manifestations result in communities of broad interest and cultural connection, adding to Aucklands richness. These traditions foster the conditions required for acceptance, tolerance, adaptation and creativity. A unique, distinctly Auckland, cultural tapestry fusion has developed., resulting in a cultural that is. 312_ Our engagement in recreation, sport and outdoor activities is an important facet of Aucklands culture. Aucklanders flock to the beaches at weekends. We tramp in the Waitakere ranges, and swim and boat in the harbours. We frequent the citys outdoor markets. We search out corners of architectural and artistic beauty, and outdoor cultural events. We congregate at grounds across the city to watch or participate in sports. Aucklands outdoors is valued as highly accessible and appealing. 313_ Cultural wealth and creativity have also become increasingly recognised as important sources of competitive comparative advantage. Aucklands art and cultural endeavours have resulted in burgeoning creativity that is the foundation for a range of successful initiatives and enterprises. 314_ Auckland has inspired and sustains artists, musicians and writers whose work is appreciated internationally. Auckland has also generated an abundance plethora of creative industries where individual skill, talent and creativity have led to wealth and job creation through the generation and exploitation of intellectual property, with unlimited potential for further growth. The Draft Auckland Plan provides the framework within which Aucklands arts, culture and heritage can be understood, valued, and used to the benefit of all Aucklanders and visitors to this city. It offers the chance helps to position Auckland as a unique, creative, internationally engaging and connected city.

316_ Auckland has great value as a place where a diverse and innovative range of contemporary and traditional cultural and lifestyle expressions is are recognised, welcomed and celebrated. 317_ Each ethnic group has its own cultural traditions. The position of Mori as Mana Whenua and Treaty partners is formally acknowledged within New Zealands btrilingual status, along with English and New Zealand Sign Language. Te reo embodies Mori traditions and values, and efforts are being made to foster the language and widen its accessibility to carry these values forward. Mori heritage culture is etched on the landscape through stories, music and art, art, whi tapu, and major achaeological sites such as volcanic cones.(see Chapter 2). 318_ Auckland also has a rich cultural heritage as the largest Pacific city. While the different Pacific cultures are nurtured individually, our Pacific heritage has also coalesced, manifesting in a burgeoning and dynamic proliferation of cultural expression. Music and art with their roots in the Pacific flourish in Auckland, and particularly South Auckland (demonstrated, for example, in the Pacific Music Awards, and further illustrated in the hugely popular annual Pasifika festival). 319_ Auckland has attracted people from across Asia, principally China, India and Korea. They bring their own cultural traditions, customs, languages, art and music. Strong cultural links through education, business and migration networks within Auckland that also connect back to their countries of origin, have the potential for further cultural appreciation and potential economic benefits. We enjoy learning about cultures different to our own, particularly through festivals such as Diwali and the Chinese Lantern Festival, which we attend in droves. Celebrating and learning about our diverse cultures through such tangible expressions is are a strong part of who we are as Aucklanders. Events and festivals like these turn ordinary days into extraordinary days.

DIRECTIVE 3.1 ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT A RANGE OF COMMUNITY EVENTS AND CULTURAL FESTIVALS THAT REFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF CULTURES IN AUCKLAND. DIRECTIVE 3.2 SUPPORT PEOPLE TO RETAIN AND LEARN CULTIVATE THEIR LANGUAGES AND OTHER FORMS OF CULTURAL EXPRESSION.
PRIORITY 2 VALUE OUR ARTISTS, CREATIVE SECTOR AND OUR CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS
320_ Auckland is home to a substantial number of professional artists. Through their work whether in galleries, theatres or public places they delight and entertain us, and make us see and think about the world we live in. Through public and street art they enrich our daily lives and make Auckland a vibrant and interesting place (see also Chapter 8). There is an opportunity for Auckland to further recognise senior our most talented artists through developing Arts Laureate schemes. Community art does the same and allows expression of community values and identity at a local level. In contrast, community art allows expression of community values and identity at a local level. Community participation in creative activities is an opportunity to engage with the social and cultural environment, to explore feelings and attitudes, and to develop skills and appreciation of artistic or creative endeavours. It is a way of bringing people together and building community connectedness. 321_ The creative sector industries and our professional artists also have a vital role to play in our economic future, creating and showcasing our rich and diverse cultural identity to the world. The creative industries such as motion graphics, fashion, film, music, and animation generate revenue and create employment, while also helping to ensure that Auckland is an exciting and stimulating place to live and work. Our economic development depends on growing, attracting and retaining creative talent and innovative thinkers (see Chapter 4). More than 5520,000 people work in the creative industries in central Auckland and they make a significant economic contribution to the region, contributing 7% to GDP of central Auckland in 2006. The sector includes design, publishing, performing arts, visual arts, and music and screen production22. Aucklanders in the creative industries are entrepreneurial, as the example of innovative computer game development shows (see below). Fourteen of Aucklands fledgling game development companies, which employ 160 full-time workers, plan to create a further 135 full-time high-tech creative jobs in Auckland by April 2012. In addition, two international companies, French-owned Gameloft and Australian owned Gameslab, have opened Auckland studios this year to tap into local talent. Gameloft is said to be hiring up to 60 people, making it New Zealands second-biggest game development company after Wellington-based Sidhe. The small local industry started by developing games for specially built consoles such as PlayStation and Xbox, but has been transformed by the arrival of much more accessible online platforms such as Facebook, mobile phones and iPhones. Barriers to entry in the sector are relatively low compared with other screen industries such as television and film. The market has an almost unique combination of characteristics. Anyone can sell in to the market via open platforms such as Apples iPad and iPhone. Developers have access to the global market across the internet. And the business model is based on selling cheaply in order to achieve high volumes. In combination, these elements make it easy for aspiring developers to create and sell applications in a sector not fettered by New Zealands remoteness. 322_ We will therefore support our creative people and enterprises for two reasons for the richness they add to our lives and to Auckland through their creations, and for the economic contribution they make, especially through exporting their ideas and products to the world. This could be achieved through access to performance and exhibition spaces, residencies and mentoring opportunities.
Page 84
Directive 3.4 Foster and encourage the development of the creative sector.
323_ As a relatively small city by international standards, Auckland is fortunate to host a range of significant art and cultural institutions and collections. Some examples are the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, the Auckland War Memorial Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira, the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, the heritage collections of Auckland Libraries Nga Whare Matauranga o Tamaki Makaurau, the Auckland Zoo and the Auckland Theatre Company (see map 3.1). Institutions such as these capture and sustain our history and creativity they give expression to who we were, who we are and who we might be. Most As importantly, they enrich Aucklands place in the world, particularly through tourism. These institutions create a cornerstone to our cultural infrastructure crucial to competing in the international arena, and instil confidence in us of our place in the world. The generosity and foresight of Aucklands founders such as Ngti Whtua, Waiohua, Tainui, and Hauraki iwi, Sir George Grey , James Tannock Mackelvie, Sir John Logan Campbell and Emilia Maud Nixon have resulted in a cultural heritage resource unequalled in New Zealand. These art, object and documentary heritage taonga are housed in galleries, libraries, archives and museums, many of which are governed by Auckland Council, while others are part of the government and tertiary education sectors. Together they contribute significantly to the cultural and economic wellbeing of Auckland and New Zealand. All face common challenges, such as conservation-storage, physical and digital access, preservation, marketing and access to specialist expertise. While these collections are of national and international significance, most of their funding is local. There are opportunities to work collaboratively and with central government on joint initiatives, for example shared storage, a documentary heritage centre to showcase rare books, archives and manuscripts, collective programming and national funding models. Contemporary philanthropists, both individuals and organisations, continue this tradition of generosity and foresight. Strengthening and encouraging philanthropy is vital for arts, culture and heritage to flourish in Auckland and New Zealand. 324_ We aim to strengthen and make sustainable the institutions that are of an international standard, thereby improving Aucklands appeal as a tourism destination. 325_ Auckland is the largest Pacific city with a rich story to tell. Mori culture and heritage in Auckland underpins that story. The Auckland War Memorial Museum Tamaki Paenga Hira holds the largest Pacific collection in the world. It is through such collections and venues that we can showcase our stories to the world. We will work with other aAgencies need to work together to expand the capacity orf venues for showcasing, accessing, and preserving our arts and culture. 326_ Many of Aucklands cultural institutions of international scale are located in the central city. It is not cost-effective to replicate large institutions across all of Auckland, and it is important to create a critical mass or cluster of attractions for the visitor industry. We will generally locate these any new major cultural institutions centrally city. More detail on this (art and cultural precincts) is provided in the Auckland City Centre Masterplan. We will provide effective transport choices to ensure all Aucklanders have ensure these institutions are affordable and accessible, including by public transport and that access to these institutions, supplemented by outreach programmes to other parts of Auckland. 64 327_ Auckland requires a diverse range of facilities at every level for diverse forms of cultural participation and performance. Needs range from large stadiums national and international institutions and performance venues to local galleries, performance venues and museums, to community cultural centres and local halls. We will continue to support such venues and programmes currently in existence and, over time, fill any gaps there may be at a local or sub-regional level. While many institutions and venues receive public funding, a significant number are supported by and reliant on the private sector and individual support. 328_ Aucklands libraries add a vital dimension to our cultural institutions. They hold a wealth of material that reflects the identity of local communities and the history and cultural heritage of Auckland. Our libraries

have some of the earliest and most important printed material of both European and Mori culture. We will ensure that our libraries continue to contribute to the cultural life of Auckland while remaining relevant as communities and technology change. 329_ Important cultural activity also occurs outside institutions: in streets, in open spaces, and through informal and spontaneous activity and interaction. We connect with and enjoy our surroundings and give diverse communities a sense of belonging through large- and small--scale public art and street art.
Directive 3.5 Promote the city centre as a focus for major cultural institutions and develop a diverse supporting network of cultural centres and programmes across the region Auckland.

Priority 3 Enhance and reveal our evolving heritage

330_ Our heritage values define who we are, where we have been and inform where we are going. Aucklands built heritage contributes to our sense of belonging, enriches our environment and plays an important role in shaping the character of the neighbourhoods where we live. 331_ Waahi tapu and sites of cultural significance are an important part of the heritage of Tangata Whenua that we must treasure and respect (see Chapter 2). Aucklands historic heritage is a strong response to our distinctive natural heritage features (see map 3.2). Our volcanic landscape and multiple harbours have defined Aucklands settlement in physical and cultural terms, and our built and cultural heritage contributes hugely to Aucklands unique character and local identity. It is also part of Aucklands distinctive appeal to visitors and migrants. It is crucial that we value our heritage sites: they are vulnerable and irreplaceable. 332_ In the context of an increasingly diverse, growing and changing Auckland it is important to respect and preserve our heritage. We will therefore ensure that growth and development do not compromise Aucklands unique heritage aspects. (also see Chapter 5 regarding natural heritage). 333_ The Auckland Council will do its part and lead by example with the heritage resources that it owns and controls. However, many of Aucklands heritage resources are in private ownership and conservation therefore also relies on the goodwill of individuals and communities.
Directive 3.6 Protect nationally, regionally and locally significant historic heritage. Directive 3.7 Ensure that existing built and cultural heritage appropriately guide area regeneration and new development in accordance with the Design Principles in Box 8.3 and 8.4, Chapter 8.

1_ Our heritage is a legacy to pass on to future generations. It reminds us of who we are, where weve come from, and informs our journey into the future. It is more than a social or environmental asset; it is an important driver for economic development and for delivering social objectives. Heritage reinforces our sense of place and is central to our wellbeing, helping define what is unique and distinctive about Auckland. Figure A. Making Aucklands heritage a positive part of our everyday lives
2_Auckland, as it is understood today, has its roots in the natural topography and coastal environment, which has been shaped over the centuries by natural events as well as people, their needs and their aspirations. Our rich and diverse heritage includes the Auckland War Memorial Museum Te Paenga Hira and the Auckland Domain. It includes the extensive archaeological landscapes of Awhitu Peninsula; Auckland Isthmus volcanic cones, Otuataua stone fields and the Franklin volcanic fields. It also includes post-war architecture such as the Group Architect houses; infrastructure and engineering feats such as the old Mangere Bridge; and our Victorian and Edwardian buildings. We value these heritage places as outstanding features in the Auckland landscape, and appreciate both their natural and human-made elements (see also Chapter 5). 3_Our approach to heritage within Auckland is to be proactive and positive. We will value our heritage places, understand them and share our stories about them (Figure A). We will develop strong, robust and transparent mechanisms for the identification, protection, management and conservation of our significant heritage places. 4_ In the context of a diversifying, intensifying, and changing Auckland, it is important to respect our heritage. We will recognise that change is inevitable and that the process of managing this change should ensure our valued heritage places are sustained for present and future generations. What we build now will become the heritage of the future. We will therefore champion high-quality design and sympathetic new development and re-development.

Priority 3 Understand, value and share our heritage

5_ Our heritage has an important role in shaping the character of the places in which we live, work and play. Character may result from a predominance of buildings of a particular era, a distinctive pattern of lot sizes, street and road patterns, intensity of development, the presence of mature vegetation, the relationship of built form and natural landscapes, or the use of traditional materials and design elements. Many of these attributes are related to the history of the area, and are reflected in the historic built environment. We will conserve the historic character of our suburbs, town centres and settlements to ensure their appearance, quality, identity and heritage values are retained and revealed. Within Auckland there are areas of value that warrant protection because of their special character, others may not meet our thresholds for scheduling, but are still important and valued parts of our city (Figure B) (See also Chapter 8).

6_Aucklanders are passionate about heritage; it contributes to our sense of belonging and identity, and enriches our environment. A 2011 survey of a cross-section of the Auckland population shows that 88% of respondents believe that protection of historic heritage is important, 78% have visited a historic heritage site in the last six months and 54% think historic heritage is not well understood in their area. It is important we
Item 10
Page 90

maintain this public appreciation and enjoyment of our heritage, as well as look for new opportunities to improve understanding of Aucklands heritage values. 7_Heritage is of fundamental importance to tangata whenua, their culture and traditions. Sites of significance to tangata whenua, including whi tapu, are an important part of our heritage that we will treasure and respect. Tangata whenua have a special relationship with our heritage, established by whakapapa. Inherent in this relationship are ancestral obligations such as kaitiaki, to maintain and enhance the mauri of these places (see also Chapter 2). 8_Tangata whenua have developed their own knowledge, expertise and customary practices to care for heritage places. The retention of this knowledge and expertise is of vital importance. 9_Within Auckland there are a number of bodies critical to the effective management of heritage; some have statutory responsibilities, while others are driven by a knowledge of and passion for the heritage in our communities. These include the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT), the Department of Conservation, the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, tangata whenua, the extensive network of local historical societies, community groups, and individuals. 10_Greater collaboration and co-ordination of our heritage actions are required. Partnerships and support networks will be fostered between the public and private sectors, with tangata whenua and with the voluntary sector. Our actions will be aligned to deliver better heritage outcomes for all. This will ensure our heritage places are valued, understood and shared by communities and by future generations. A sense of stewardship/kaitiakitanga of our heritage places will be lead by an empowered tangata whenua and community.
11_Much of Aucklands heritage is in private ownership. Conservation of these places relies on the knowledge, commitment and active stewardship of individuals and developers. Incentives, advice and assistance to support owners in the conservation and protection of heritage places will continue, and their work will be recognised and celebrated. We will work with owners to promote good management and routine maintenance of properties in their care. 12_Central Government and Auckland Council (including its Council Controlled Organisations) have a critical leadership role in heritage management and protection. On behalf of the community, government is the owner of significant heritage places. Therefore, central and local government must lead by example with the heritage that it owns and manages. Auckland Council will continue to develop initiatives to ensure innovation, good practice and an improvement in heritage outcomes on behalf of the community. Improved resource and building consent processes will enable good decision-making. We will maintain a heritage information service and put in place a robust and consistent management framework. Council has instigated a range of measures intended to improve the management of Aucklands heritage. These actions include: Historic Heritage Plan. The Council is developing an Historic Heritage Plan which will be an agreed approach for heritage management that delivers on the strategic vision set out in the Auckland Plan. The Historic Heritage plan will provide further detail on our goals priorities and actions. Establishment of Heritage Acquisition fund. This fund will be used to purchase conserve and protect at risk heritage buildings, places and features. Once the heritage values are secured then the intention is to on sell (with appropriate heritage management measures) and reinvest the money for subsequent purchases. The fund has an initial investment of $10.4 million with an annual additional $4.3 million for nine years. Establishment of a Heritage Advisory Panel. The Council has established a panel of community interest and heritage experts to provide independent policy advice to Council on heritage matters. Assessments. The Council will complete the assessment of some 400 public nominations of items of potential heritage value for consideration for inclusion in the unitary plan. Area based heritage assessments. The Council has agreed to fund area based heritage assessments with the intention of ensuring all areas identified for growth and intensification through the Auckland Plan have a heritage assessment as a basis for any subsequent development. Streamlining and improving the Auckland Council resource consent process. Some steps have already been taken and the Council is undertaking further work to ensure a robust, transparent and consistent Report Chapters 2, 3 and 4 Auckland Plan Deliberationsapproach to heritage management. This work willensure that the Council responds Page 91 to the expectation s of elected members and the community regarding historic character and hertitge buildings. The Council continues to provide and manage heritage funding formerly provided by the local councils.

Because the world is a diverse place, successful competition in the global marketplace will necessitate an understanding of and a sensitivity to diverse cultures. Our understanding of how to deal with diversity is learned locally. The appreciation and celebration of diversity needs to be an economic strategy as well as a cultural and political strategy. The safekeeping of a localitys cultural assets, natural environment, and especially its historic built environment is critical to positioning a community to effectively compete on a sustainable basis in the 21st Century world economy. Donovan Rypkema, President, Heritage Strategies International 13_We will invest in our heritage to unlock its full environmental, social, cultural and economic benefits. Investment is required to secure the retention of our significant heritage and also to increase the understanding of our heritage and opportunities to share it. 14_We will radically improve the way we understand and value our heritage and the way we develop and redevelop Auckland. Tangata whenua, communities, groups and individuals will be empowered to undertake active stewardship / kaitiakitanga and improve our heritage outcomes. New ways of thinking and positive and innovative approaches will be developed. This will require both commitment and investment as our heritage is often vulnerable and always irreplaceable. 15_Investment is required for co-ordinated research and survey. The existing information base for our heritage is incomplete, out-dated or inaccurate in many areas. Improving this evidence base will provide a means of assessing heritage values and significance. This will inform decision-making and the management, protection and conservation of our heritage. 16_Unlocking the full benefits of our heritage can stimulate environmental, economic and community regeneration. Based on an understanding of their value and significance, the sensitive and innovative use of heritage places within local regeneration should be encouraged. Schemes like the NZ Lotteries Grant Board, ASB Charitable Trust, Auckland Council Environmental Initiative Fund and other private funds can play an important role in regeneration, maintenance and management of heritage places. This includes developing community appreciation of our heritage and securing long-term viable uses for places 'at risk' from neglect. 17_Heritage is part of Aucklands distinctive appeal to international and domestic visitors, investors and immigrants. Internationally New Zealand is seen as a world leader in natural beauty and authenticity of heritage and culture1. Developing sustainable heritage based tourism in Auckland will help maintain this unique global position and support economic development. 18_The effective reuse of Aucklands heritage places, particularly the historic built environment, is a significant component of sustainable development and securing a green future. We will encourage appropriate conservation, re-use, maintenance and energy efficiency improvements to heritage buildings. We will also promote cost-effective and minimum intervention options for upgrading heritage buildings, particularly for earthquake strengthening. 19_The heritage sector can provide jobs, experience, and knowledge, which can empower and foster life skills within our communities. Engaging volunteers on heritage projects and involving people in their local heritage can build pride in the community and help foster civic responsibility. Heritage is also an educational resource, which can inspire learning in our children and young people, as well as opportunities for life-long learning.

Investment in the heritage buildings and streetscape of Britomart has strengthened the areas distinctive identity, revitalising an important part of Aucklands city centre. Britomart was once a thriving Edwardian business district associated with the port. By the mid-20th century, the area had begun to decline and many buildings were derelict.
Attachment G
The Britomart redevelopment began in 2002 and is founded on a public-private collaboration between Cooper and Company and Auckland Council. Development levies for new buildings were waived in return for restoration of historic heritage. So far, nine of eighteen heritage buildings have been fully upgraded, conserved and leased to long-term tenants.
Britomart is once again a thriving business district comprising a mix of commercial and creative industries, retail outlets, restaurants and bars that celebrate the special heritage and historic character of the locality.
Directive 3.8 Ensure that our heritage appropriately informs new development and redevelopment. Directive 3.9 Recognise and promote the contribution of heritage to our identity, to our economy, to our urban and rural character and quality.

Priority 4 Support Aucklands Outdoor culture, recreation and sport

334_ Aucklanders love recreation, whether we are out on the water, taking bush walks or having a barbeque at the beach. Thousands of Aucklanders participate in a variety of sport and recreation activities throughout Auckland. Our temperate climate and natural setting is ideal for this. Access to the outdoors is an important part of our culture and part of Aucklands appeal. We must sustain this as Auckland grows. 335_ Population growth presents a number of challenges for sport and recreation in Auckland. A growing population will require infrastructure such as parks, sports grounds and swimming pools sufficient to meet the needs of all Aucklanders (also see Chapter 10). An increasingly sedentary lifestyle is leading to poor health and obesity, and sport and recreation provide an important antidote. Healthy lifestyles can be encouraged by improving access to local recreational areas (see Chapters 1 and 11). In addition, changing demographics reflect shifting preferences around different forms of recreation and sport, which in turn have different requirements. 336_ We will therefore ensure that the quality of Aucklands public open spaces both land and coastal and public sport facilities is maintained for recreational enjoyment, and that the public have access to these places.
Directive 3.8 Enable participation in recreation and sport and ensure public open space and other facilities keep up with the needs of a growing population.
337_ A shared sense of pride in the sporting success of Aucklanders at national and international events has helped to create a sense of identity and pride. Attracting international sporting events unites us and builds on New Zealands reputation for sporting excellence in specific codes. The social and economic benefits these bring also present a positive image of Auckland nationally and internationally. This, in turn, helps to attract high profile sporting events to New Zealand. 338_ We will build on our strengths to attract sporting events of international standing to Auckland.
Directive 3.9 Promote Aucklands sporting and recreational culture and encourage and nurture sporting talent and excellence.
1. Aucklanders lifestyles provide many opportunities for leisure activities which are shaped by our unique environment and diverse population. The lifestyle choices available to everyone makes Auckland increasingly attractive as a global city. A wide range of individual hobbies are enjoyed and thousands2 of special interest clubs and community organisations reflect our range of recreational experiences and leisure interests. 2. In particular, our engagement in recreation, sport and outdoor activities is an important feature of Aucklands lifestyle, with the natural physical beauty of harbours, coastlines, and network of parks, reserves and volcanoes. Aucklanders flock to the beaches at weekends, tramp in the Waitakere and Hunua Ranges, swim, boat and fish in the harbours. We frequent the citys outdoor walkways and the regions parks, whether it is to improve our fitness or to stroll and picnic with friends, family and whanau. We congregate at grounds across Auckland to watch or participate in sport. Our temperate climate and natural setting is ideal for year-round outdoor activities whether on land or on water. Access to the outdoors is an important part of our culture and part of Aucklands appeal. We must sustain this as Auckland grows and ensure that we optimise the provision of recreational opportunities.
The Charities Commission register holds a comprehensive database of community charities and incorporated societies in Auckland and New Zealand. Page 106

3. We like to be active - as individuals, with our friends and family, through organised events and team sports, including increasing participation in social indoor sports that can be played whatever the weather. Thousands of children, young people and adults participate in recreation and sport in a variety of activities, both formal and informal throughout Auckland, every day of the week. As we have less free time, recreation which we enjoy at any time, at little cost and close to home, is growing in popularity. 4. Recreation and sport plays a key role in the wellbeing of our communities through improving our physical and psychological health. While our participation rates in sport and recreation remain steady, a large proportion of our community are becoming more sedentary, leading to poor health and obesity. New ways to encourage us to participate are required (see also Chapter 1). 5. Aucklands landscape includes harbours, coastlines, parks, bush areas, ranges and volcanoes. The more than 4,219 parks cover 83,164 hectares or 16.6% of the Aucklands land area. Thriving private sector sport and recreation facilities include private fitness centres, indoor sports centres and a network of school recreation facilities. As our population grows and changes in composition, we need to ensure that we continue to provide the right range and number of sport and recreation opportunities and ensure that the range and type of facilities support changing preferences for recreational activities.
7. There is a close link between recreational activities for personal enjoyment and their contribution to the economy. For example, horse riding or cycling for recreation can lead to economic and career opportunities that benefit the individual and the community.
Priority 1 Provide quality opportunities for all Aucklanders to participate in sport and recreation
8. Participation in recreational activities is thriving. However, many of us are also becoming less active and the prevalence of health-related illnesses is growing. Involvement in recreation and sport builds relationships within and across communities and assists with the development of strong, cohesive communities. Participation needs to start at an early age and is best achieved if early childhood experiences include the development of skills, confidence and attitudes which stay with us as an adult. Active movement programmes for babies and toddlers are an effective way to promote a lifelong love of active recreation and a healthy lifestyle. 9. Young peoples skills can be nurtured through skill development and extending their experiences. The promotion of play opportunities is vital for physical and mental development and ongoing participation in recreation needs to be supported throughout our lifespan. Thousands of children and young people participate in sport through schools and clubs, which play a vital role in the promotion of recreation and sports. However, school sports teams and sporting clubs currently operate in parallel ways and often lack co-ordination and collaboration necessary to ensure optimal participation. A focus on providing programmes for youth that collaborate between school and the sports sector will provide more flexible opportunities for young people. 10. We know that young people are becoming more diversified in their preferences and ways they want to participate in recreation. For example, there was an increase of 21 different sports in secondary schools from 2000 to 2009. However, participation rates drop off substantially after young people leave secondary school and we need to find ways to maintain their interest. For example, Egames are now popular with young people and can be used as an innovative way to encourage them to remain active. 11. A lifelong process of participation in recreation and sport starts with children and continues through to older adults. The foundation phase begins as a child and is a time where fundamental

6. Our abundance of harbours and rivers provide an ideal environment for a large range of water sports including swimming, surfing, sailing, waka ama, dragon boating, kite surfing, kayaking and windsurfing. Our ability to continue to safely participate and retain access to our waterways will need to be balanced with the need to protect and manage them (See also Chapter 5).
Item 10

movement skills are learnt. These skills are carried through into ongoing participation and high performance. Providing a variety of opportunities for participation at all ages will be central to planning for the future. 12. The majority of our activity is undertaken with friends and family, so opportunities to maximise our participation rates will need to take this into account, for example, by providing good access to local recreation areas. Recreation and sport will be promoted as fun, accessible and affordable. Inclusive recreation and sport opportunities will be made available for people of all ages and abilities. 13. Active lifestyle programmes for older people will provide opportunities for social interaction and contribute to the breaking down of social isolation. The Never Too Old programme is a successful gym-based programme for older people which help participants to maintain an active and independent lifestyle. Programmes for older people will be encouraged and made easily available and affordable. Innovative inter-generational programmes will also provide an opportunity to meet the needs of both younger and older people and to provide opportunities for
people to support their communities.
14. Persons with disabilities participate in a wide range of recreational and sporting activities at all levels through to elite standards. We will ensure that disabled people can participate in sport and recreation programmes which are inclusive and that barriers to their participation are removed. Recreation facilities will be accessible and all people will feel welcome and included.
Directive 3A.1 Encourage participation in sport and recreation for all Aucklanders, in particular children and young people.
15. Aucklands population is becoming more diverse and this diversity is only going to increase. Preferences for and participation rates in recreational activities are changing and are defined by who we are. We participate in sports in different ways and have a wide range of preferences depending on our gender, background and age. 16. Recognising and enabling the participation of our diverse communities in recreation and sport needs to be made a priority. We need to provide a range of facilities and spaces to encourage everyone to be active and to lead healthy lifestyles. Different ways of engaging with people need to be considered, for example through technology and social networking. People are participating in recreational activities in ways which are less organised and more suited to their lifestyles. For example we often meet with groups of friends to participate in a wide range of activities including cycling, walking, kayaking, touch rugby, tramping and horse riding. Sport and recreation is a great way for different ethnicities, different social groups, disabled people and older people to connect with their communities. It helps us to be less isolated and get to know our communities and build relationships. 17. We need to support both the participation of ethnic communities in existing sporting codes and support sports which our new migrants enjoy, such as badminton, table tennis, tai chi and soccer. However, migrants and refugees face a number of barriers to participating in organised sport. These include lack of understanding about the New Zealand style of playing sport and the different sports codes expectations of players such as club membership and season playing schedules. There are transport barriers, financial constraints and socio-cultural barriers like language and religious and cultural differences and restrictions. We will support and further develop new approaches to supporting participation. 18. Aucklanders are also participating in a range of new recreational activities. There is a growing emergence of indoor social sports such as indoor soccer, cricket and netball. Water sports are increasingly popular, with sports such as dragon boating, waka ama and water polo thriving. New and emerging recreation and sports pursuits have been identified such as lacrosse, disc golf, Pilates, Latin-inspired dance-fitness programmes and kilikiti. We will ensure that changes in preferences will be reflected in the provision of recreation and sport facilities.
Priority 2 Prioritise and optimise our sport and recreation facilities, open space use and the capability of sport and recreation organisations
19. Auckland has an abundance of open space with our marine environment, regional and local parks and Department of Conservation sites. The recognition of the value of this open space is a first step towards protecting, promoting and improving access. There are both physical and mental health benefits to having open space both in the form of dedicated sports fields and also as parks and areas where we can sit or walk in peace (see also Chapter 10).
21. A continued supply of quality open space is critical in a compact city, to enable and encourage us to lead healthy lifestyles. We will need to think differently about what constitutes public open space and plan for its protection and expansion. For example, the use of new technologies like artificial turfs will improve the range and accessibility of sports turfs. This would provide greater access to facilities for the whole community. Our streets and built environment will become more important in providing space for recreational activities and to allow us to become connected to our parks and reserves. Street connectivity is a key design feature to promote and encourage physical activity, in particular the ability to walk to local destinations. 22. The integration of social infrastructure and transport needs to be incorporated into any new developments or regeneration areas. This includes creating community hubs which support healthy lifestyles and ensuring facilities are built close to transport hubs to increase active lifestyles and contribute to community connectedness. There is also the need to balance the provision of local recreation and sports facilities and those provided regionally. 23. A new approach for Auckland is needed to build healthy communities. As we grow, we will maintain and enhance access to public open spaces through a network of walkways, cycleways, and bridleways. A city which is easy to get around is a place where transport and recreation is part of an enjoyable way of life. We will develop linkages to form accessible and active networks which will include our streets and roads, parks and marine and freshwater environments so that recreation is an easy option. 24. Open space and the built environment are directly related, and walking and cycling can support active living whether it is for transport or recreation. Walking and cycling for transport is influenced by the features of the surrounding environment and is facilitated by connected street networks, access to destinations and public transport availability. The regional cycling network is an opportunity for a transformational shift to connect schools, tertiary facilities, public transport centres and key community infrastructure.

20. There is a changing demand for how and when community recreation and sport is delivered due to an increasing need for experiences which fit with the competing lifestyle demands. Work and family commitments are causing our lifestyles to change. We have less free time and what we have becomes more fragmented. There is also more choice about how we spend our time. This influences the demand for new recreational experiences which are less structured, shorter and more physically intense such as mountain biking. This informal recreational activity is also influenced by the need to participate in recreation close to home to reduce travel time and costs. There is a rising demand for opportunities to participate in activities independently and at a local level. We will plan to enhance and extend these opportunities in our urban and rural environments to match this increased demand.
Item 10
Directive 3A.2 Enable Aucklands diverse communities to participate in sport and recreation by promoting opportunities to meet their needs.

25. Higher residential and commercial density neighbourhoods will encourage walking and cycling through features such as connected street networks, public amenities such as parks, wide footpaths, street lighting, attractive street furniture, street trees and traffic calming (See also Chapter 8). 26. Bridleways take advantage of our outdoor environment, enhance our rural areas and provide opportunities for participation in recreational horse riding. They also provide the ability for beginner horse riders to ride independently and integrate their activity into the community. 27. We will strengthen the integrated planning and management of our outdoor public spaces to enable the development of walking, cycling and bridleway networks (See also Chapter 11).
Directive 3A.3 Ensure public open space and recreation and sport facilities keep up with the needs of a growing population.
28. Our growing population and increasing diversity will require infrastructure such as parks, sports grounds and swimming pools to meet the needs of all Aucklanders. While thousands of children and young people participate in sport through their schools and clubs, there is an increasing shortage of sports fields and facilities. Duplication and fragmentation of services has led to facility provision that has not been co-ordinated to cater for the different levels of sport and active recreation. Collaboration is needed between the sectors including schools and sports clubs so that existing facilities can be fully utilised and to deliver the optimal outcomes for participation. Schools play a vital role in the promotion of sport and active recreation. Collaboration and coordination with schools is one way to resolve the duplication of sporting competitions and increase the use of existing facilities (see also Chapter 10). 29. A more co-ordinated approach across Auckland to facility development and funding will include developing partnerships between the public and private sectors. We will also plan for the clustering of recreational facilities with other amenities such as libraries, town and transport centres to provide localised and accessible activities in community hubs. This will enable recreation to be an easy and enjoyable lifestyle choice. 30. A partnership approach to planning and funding between local and central government, nongovernmental organisations and the voluntary sector will help to provide the best facilities for Auckland through collaborative investment opportunities. The current collaboration between Regional Sports Organisations is an example of clubs and sporting codes working together and leveraging opportunities through public/private investments to provide multi-sport facilities.
Directive 3A.4 Actively collaborate and partner to maximise joint resources and build the capability of recreation and sport organisations.
Priority 3 Maximise the contribution of recreation and sport to Aucklands prosperity

31. The value placed on recreation and sport activities by Aucklanders is reflected in the sectors contribution to Aucklands economy. There is a high level of public and private investment in the recreation and sport sector that delivers facilities, programmes, and services. 32. The market value of recreation and sport can be defined as industries that produce goods for the sector, incomes of people working in the sector, the investment by central government in sports education in schools and Auckland Councils expenditure on new sport and recreation facilities. Volunteers too, make a significant contribution to the sector and if this contribution was given a market value it would amount to just over $170 million.3 We volunteer a large number of hours in
3

recreation and sport activities. In fact volunteers contributed 12 million hours to sport and recreation in 2007/08, involving an estimated 22.2% of Aucklanders. This equates to thousands of Aucklanders, including caregivers, parents, retired people and sport science student volunteering in a large variety of activities and roles such as coaches, trainers, referees, umpires, parent helpers and committee members and secretaries. These roles not only help individuals develop new skills and confidence, they also build the capacity of recreation and sport organisations. Volunteering supports the creation of strong and cohesive communities as the volunteers get to know their local neighbourhoods, schools and communities which. In addition, volunteer skill development often leads to economic benefits as volunteers move into paid or governance roles either within the sport and recreation sector or in other parts of the economy. 33. Employment in the sector is either in a sport and recreation related industry or a specific sport and recreation occupation. This represents 2.5 percent of all people employed in Auckland. Just under 12,000 people are employed in the sector which includes guides and teachers, coaches and instructors, officials and administrators. Just over 8,000 people work in sport and recreation occupations. 34. Overall recreation and sport contributes to 2.4% of the regional GDP (including volunteer services) and is a contributing factor to our prosperity and quality of life (See also Chapter 4).
36. The recreational boat industry is also a major contributor to our economy with 60% of New Zealands marine companies based in Auckland contributing $149 million to Aucklands GDP. Boosted by an increasing number of baby boomers, recreational boating, including kayaking, sailing and motor boating, is expected to continue to be a popular recreational activity.
Directive 3A.5 Support volunteers to contribute to the capability of the recreation and sport sector. Directive 3A.6 Grow the contribution of the recreation and sport sector to Aucklands prosperity.
37. A shared sense of pride in the sporting success of Aucklanders at national and international events helps create a sense of identity and pride. International sporting events unite us and grows New Zealands reputation for sporting excellence. The social and economic benefits these bring also present a positive image of Auckland nationally and internationally. This in turn helps to attract high-profile sporting events to New Zealand. We will aim to build on our strengths to attract sporting events of international standing to Auckland. 38. Supporting our high performance athletes to attain sporting excellence also helps to enhance our reputation and put us on the world stage. The Millennium Institute of Sport and Health in Albany, Auckland, provides world class services, health sciences research and education in high performance sport, exercise science, community sport, physical activity and community health. The Institute is a sporting complex developed and operated in partnership between AUT University, philanthropic donors, central government and charitable funding agencies. The aquatics centre hosts international swimming and water polo events and is the only facility of its type in New Zealand. It is a significant strategic asset for Auckland and

35. The equine sector industries generate an estimated annual $54.3 million of direct GDP contribution into the Aucklands economy. There are over 600 industries related to the sector as part of the equine industry supply chain including tourism, business, transport, logistics and associated retail services. Auckland is also internationally renowned as a gateway for equine exports, which involve a range of associated facilities and infrastructure which contribute to Aucklands economy.
Item 10

plays an important role in meeting local physical activity sport and health demands. It is seen as a word class centre of excellence and also provides programmes for children and young people with water safety instruction, a health and fitness club, school holiday programmes and school activity programmes. 39. Our achievements at international events create a healthy image for our goods, services and experiences overseas. It also helps us attract sports events and encourages us to be active. We need to support our high performing athletes through coaching and training programmes in high performance venues and facilities which use the latest international research to accelerate their development. The sport and exercise science research institution on the University of Aucklands Tamaki Innovation Campus is engaged with ground breaking research which contributes to our economy and enhances our international reputation. Provision of appropriate training venues also benefits us all through the provision of world class facilities that are accessible to all Aucklanders, including to athletes with disabilities.

Page 115
Attachment K
Item 10

Historic character areas are older established suburbs, town centres or settlements of special architectural or other heritage value, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to conserve and enhance. This may result from a predominance of buildings of a particular area, a distinctive patter of lot sizes, intensity of development, the presence of mature vegetation, the relationship of built form an natural landscapes, or the use of tradition materials and design elements.
Item 10 Attachment K
Note: A definition of natural heritage is already in the Glossary. It reads: Natural heritage includes indigenous flora and fauna, terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems and habitats, landscapes, landforms, geological features, soils and the natural character of the coastline.

Kiwi ingenuity, strong sustainability focus and resource utilization, as well as our quality of life. It is widely recognised that a prosperous, culturally diverse city, that is innovative and capitalises on its knowledge, skills and creativity is attractive to entrepreneurial workers and to enhancing liveability. 339a We must also ensure that growth is inclusive and equitable so that all Aucklanders enjoy the benefits of growth and participate in growing the economy. We need to earn more income, increase our skills, use our resources more effectively and make better use of our comparative advantages. This becomes even more important because prosperity and opportunity in Auckland are unevenly distributed and social disparities are increasing. 340_ Auckland is interdependent with the rest of NZ. It plays an important role as the major domestic market for producers throughout NZ and as the distribution hub supplying upper North Island cities and regions. It is part of an emerging northern North Island urban and economic system, comprising the cities and towns north of Taupo. Fifty-two per cent of NZs people live in this area, which has significant business, freight and other connections with Auckland. This interdependence will increase over time, with freight volumes to and from provincial centres and Auckland projected to double over the next decade. Auckland also relies on energy and productive resources outside of the region. 341_ Auckland also has a critical role to play in contributing to the national economy and improving NZs economic performance. Home to one third of the population, Auckland is the largest commercial centre in NZ, comprises a substantial proportion of the domestic market, contributes significantly to NZs imports and exports, and acts as a key service centre for other parts of the country and has a high concentration of tertiary and research institutes. 342_ Measured internationally, Aucklands performance is relatively poor, ranking 69th out of 85 metro regions in the OECD in terms of GDP per capita , and while NZs economic performance has declined relative to other OECD countries in terms of GDP per capita23 to its present position at 22nd, stabilising at around 80% of the OECD median. 343_ Aucklands relative size is a disadvantage because the scale of cities affects output per capita and levels of productivity. Auckland has lower productivity and wages than the cities that we compete against for the title of most liveable. 344_ Auckland is also vulnerable to intense international competition for ideas, talent, skills and capital. Australian cities, for example, attract many thousands of our young talent each year and compete with us for immigrants from Europe and Asia. This has contributed to Auckland having 40% lower GDP per capita than Sydney and Melbourne. 345_ We have set bold economic targets for Aucklands economic prosperity, supporting the Governments ambitious aspiration for NZ to achieve parity with Australia in terms of GDP per capita over 15 years. This is likely to require average real GDP per capita growth of above 4 per cent, more than twice NZs average rate over the last two decades. 346_ Achieving our economic targets requires a fundamental structural change in Aucklands economy. At present Auckland is still primarily an inwardly-focused city, with an economy driven by consumption, real estate and domestically-focused services. Although New Zealand has experienced a period of high economic prosperity over the last 15 years, largely driven by the primary sector, Auckland has not performed sufficiently at establishing itself as a centre of excellence or innovation regarding the development of export products. 347_ To achieve the required transformation, Aucklands economy must encourage shift from being importled to export-driven, and must encourage the emergence of new economy sectors, complemented by longterm sustainable growth in our internationally competitive sectors - marine, tourism, food and beverage, high tech, screen and creative, finance, and tertiary education and training (see Priority 2 for further detail). Growing new markets, such as the Asia-Pacific markets, provide a ready outlet particularly because New Zealand is complementary, not directly competing with those economies. We also require significant improvements in our labour and capital productivity through growth in skills and labour market participation, innovation, and access to capital.

Aucklands Economic Development Strategy develops the economic priorities and cross cutting opportunities that underpin these opportunities further.
Map 4.1 Aucklands economic directions AMMEND MAP

348_ Auckland therefore needs an effective strategy to grow the economic pie. This depends on collaboration and action from stakeholders across the board including central government, local government in Auckland and beyond, business, education and research institutes, and the community at large. Government establishes the economic macro context through its policies and supports a network of agencies to coordinate activity at the national level. Auckland Council leads the development of this Plan to identify key Auckland-wide issues and establish the framework for achieving Aucklands vision. 349_ Map 4.1 outlines the key economic directions for Auckland that this plan supports. Understanding how Auckland is expected to grow and planning for this growth is vital to ensuring that Auckland maximises its potential, while retaining liveability - aspects that are key to attracting investment and entrepreneurial talent. Map 4.1 identifies the key centres and business areas in Auckland and the importance of economic corridors in connecting these areas, and providing opportunities for business activity. The corridors also highlight the important flows of economic activity from Auckland to the rest of the New Zealand. Also illustrated are the key pieces of economic infrastructures, such as the ports and airports, that help drive our economy and connect us globally (refer Priority 1 and 3) and some of the elements (visitor attractions etc) that make us attractive to visitors (Priority 5). The map also shows elements of the innovation system associated with Priority 2. 350_ The remainder of this Chapter focuses on: the five priorities we will focus on the cross-cutting opportunities that underpin these priorities.
PRIORITY 1 Grow a business friendly and well -functioning city

351_ Aucklands economic performance is determined by the performance of its firms. Identifying and alleviating constraints that hamper firms is therefore critical. The needs of businesses are diverse and variable but several common themes have emerged. Business friendly can be defined as Explicit attempts by local governments and their partners (including national government) to reduce the barriers, costs, risks and uncertainties of all forms of commercial activity to stimulate and support local business growth, local 5 business retention and the attraction of new business to the local area. 352_ Aucklands infrastructure is over burdened in several critical respects. Traffic congestion at peak times constrains the movement of goods and people across the isthmus at substantial cost to the productivity of businesses. The ultra-fast broadband network is incomplete and access is unevenly distributed across Auckland, constraining firms activities. The security of the electricity supply is another potential limitation for firms. Chapters 10 and 11 address these issues, which are the responsibility of Auckland Council and central government. 353_ Aucklands productivity must improve. Council and government can support businesses to improve productivity. They can work with firms to overcome barriers to productivity growth. These actions may include removing inappropriate policy or regulatory settings, improving transport links, and facilitating geographical clustering to achieve economies of scale. They also include business assistance and advice, capability development and mentoring, business networking and events and sector, innovation and FDI initiatives. These initiatives are progressed by our council controlled organization Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development Agency in partnership with central government, business and industry.

354_ As with the rest of New Zealand, the vast majority (96%) of Auckland firms are small to medium enterprises (SMEs). It is cheap and easy to establish a firm in Auckland but the failure rate of start-ups is high. For SMEs as well as large Auckland firms, extra costs incurred through inefficiency and uncertainty stand in the way of success. Auckland Council will therefore ensure that its processes are streamlined and facilitate the productivity of firms. 355_ Improving the way council exercises its regulatory functions can result in the biggest and earliest gains. Poorly thought through or excessive regulation can increase uncertainty and decrease predictability, making investment risky for business. It can also cause unintended consequences, be an impediment to innovation, inhibit productivity, competitiveness and investment and result in a detrimental effect to economic performance. Council will adopt a continuous improvement approach to regulation that is responsive to new information, risks and market conditions and considers the effect to business in an integrated way. Key areas include: ensuring our plans are simple, transparent and accessible further streamlining the consent process to provide certainty around costs and timelines developing consistent and fair funding policies ensuring excellent customer service and relationships, including consulting effectively with business when developing regulation providing integrated and cost effective internal systems. 356_ To boost the economic growth of town centres and business precincts, the Auckland Council has a Business Improvement District (BID) policy to assist local business associations. BIDs are funded by targeted rates and allow businesses to use the funding to improve the local business environment and promote business growth in a way that meets their business communities needs. There are currently 46 BIDs operating in the Auckland region, representing over 25,000 businesses. The local boards have the day-to-day relationship with the Business Associations, as a joint partner in the BID Partnership Programme. This relationship looks to progress established local priorities. 356a Auckland Council is responsible for ensuring that sufficient business and employment land is available for development. Ensuring that the location of industrial, office and retail activities occurs in a coordinated and strategic manner is an important objective to maximise liveability and economic productivity. Aucklands employment is concentrated in a number of centres, most notably the city centre with its predominant financial and commercial function, and the metropolitan centres. High concentrations of employment are also evident in the business areas which are situated along Aucklands two major economic corridors: the main southern motorway and rail corridors (Penrose, Wiri), with an arc of business land running from East Tamaki through to the Airport, and to the north, concentrations of employment occur along the Northern Motorway (Takapuna/Smales Farm, Wairau Valley, North Harbour and Rosedale Industrial Estates and Albany). 356b There are projected to be an additional 275,000 jobs in Auckland by 2041. Just over half (51%) of new jobs are expected to be located in the central area, with a further a quarter of new jobs being located in south Auckland. Growth is strongest in the rural and fringe areas of Auckland, although this is off a lower base.

356d Auckland is NZs commercial centre, dominating the finance, insurance, transport and logistics and business service industries. It is also the largest centre for manufacturing. The city centre will remain the focal point for finance and business services, and other higher order industries. The strong growth expected in office activity (an additional 129,000 employees and 1,900,000 m2 of floor space) will be encouraged in centres and identified areas for future business intensification, in order to make the best use of existing infrastructure and investment. The majority of this demand (64%) is expected to occur in the centre of Auckland, with 16-17% occurring in the northern and southern economic corridors. 356e While the largest amount of additional floor space required is in the central part of Auckland, most of the land requirement is in the large industrial areas in southern Auckland. Here, industrial demand is likely to push further south as the demands on more centrally located land increase (causing prices to rise) and the growth in the golden triangle continues (Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga). The rise of the Airport as a key transportation and distribution hub will continue to be a major driver of business location, as will population growth which is likely to be strongest in the southern parts of Auckland over the next 30 years. 356f There is widespread concern over the scarcity of industrial land to meet this forecast demand. Nearly one third of industrial land has been used for non-industrial purposes over the past decade, principally for retail, office and residential use. Aucklands restricted reservoir of industrial land must be actively managed to ensure that industrial activity critical to Aucklands economic performance is not impeded. This requires the safeguarding of existing industrial- zoned sites, effective reuse of brownfield sites, and the provision of new industrial zoned land in suitable locations. It is likely that Auckland will require around 1,000 hectares of additional business zoned land to meet expected growth in industrial activities over the next 30 years. This land requirement is included in the identification of greenfield areas for investigation (see Section D, Development Strategy), and the release of greenfield land will be managed to ensure an adequate and phased supply of industrial land across the region (see Chapter 8, Urban Auckland). 357_ Changes in the way business operates, driven by advances in technology and information systems will also impact on the way employment land is used and future business land needs. Further analysis is required to understand likely future requirements for freight hubs and distribution centres within Auckland. Monitoring of business land uptake and demand will be critical to ensure future planning is effective.
Directive 4.1 Plan and provide for sufficient business zoned land and infrastructure to achieve employment capacity targets and improved economic opportunity.

356c In creating a sustainable city, the growth in Auckland must support and strengthen existing communities and their employment opportunities. We need to better connect where people live, where they work and how they get there. It is expected that an additional 1,400 ha of business land is required to cater for growth and some 12.5 million m2 of new floor space. This growth is made up of: - 2,968,000 m2 of additional office floor space - 1,813,000 m2 of additional retail and hospitality floor space - 6,067,000 m2 of additional industrial floor space - 1,659,000 m2 of additional education and health floor space.

PRIORITY 2 Develop an innovation hub of the Asia-Pacific Rim

358_ Innovation and the commercialisation of ideas drive economic performance. NZ and Auckland have produced some highly entrepreneurial and inventive people and firms. Still, compared to similar overseas cities we are a mid- to low-performer in terms of commercialising scientific and commercial research and ideas. Our research institutions, world-class tertiary institutions, established expertise and unique advantages offer potential for further leverage. We must, however, address roadblocks that hinder our ability to commercialise if we are to achieve the economic step change need for Auckland to meet its economic aspirations. 359_ Auckland also has strengths in a number of enabling capabilities, important for improving economic performance across multiple sectors. These include bioscience, advanced manufacturing and materials and digital content (also see Chapter 3 for a discussion on the contribution and export potential of the creative industries). Discoveries in these sectors have the potential to become products and services that accelerate innovation in other sectors and/or improve productivity. 360_ The significance of innovation stems from the idea that in future, prosperity will depend on creating a high-value knowledge economy. There are advantages in developing high-value, knowledge-intensive products to earn export income, but achieving this is challenging. To encourage innovation, the process of invention and commercialisation should be viewed as an innovation ecosystem with several interrelated parts. Initial ideas are generated in a variety of places including research institutes, universities, businesses and by individuals. The challenge is to turn these ideas into commercial products in the market place. Further refinement and development of products can be costly and time consuming and is often undertaken in business incubators or firms. Taking products to market is a further leap. Many firms are small and this limits their capacity to take products to market. Also, in NZ the domestic market is so small that firms must often expand into export markets without the benefit of a trial run at home. Yet it is export products which earn offshore income, and raise living standards at home. In a small city this means high-value differentiated goods and services for export. 361_ In the context of Auckland, critical elements of the innovation system include: universities and education providers which generate research and skills to enable invention; research institutes; entrepreneurs; firms; and agencies and programmes that support product development, and market information. 362_ In an extraordinarily competitive international market, increasing Aucklands export income and achieving our targets means building on our strengths. Auckland is distinguished by the depth and breadth of expertise in high-value, knowledge-intensive industries in sectors. A number of key sectors have been identified as having the greatest potential to contribute to productivity growth (GDP per capita and export growth). This is based on their current rate of employment growth, international export activity and dollar value exports. These include: - finance - high tech (including science and health)

advanced materials marine clean technology tertiary education screen production food and beverage production and other spin-offs from NZs historic land-based production,
363_ Linked to these sectors of expertise, Auckland also benefits internationally from NZs long established reputation as clean and green. While this image has been debated may be overinflated has been debated, NZs reputation as a pristine and remote safe haven has become increasingly appealing in an increasingly risky world. Qualities such as food safety, clean environment, little corruption and low crime rates are embedded in NZs tourism proposition and key export industries. So long as this reputation is maintained and enhanced, Auckland and NZ have the potential to benefit from the global shift to green growth. Some business leaders in NZ are therefore emphasising the Pure Advantage (www.pureadvantage.com) of this reputation as a key distinguishing factor. 364_ Auckland also has strong links to the Asia-Pacific region through immigration, trade and its geographic situation. The attraction of international students and the importance of international education as a significant economic contribution has further improved Aucklands links to Asia and the Pacific. These are strengthened through the free trade agreement with China, and potentially with India. Auckland has the opportunity to capitalise on its close connections with the engine room of world growth. 365_ Leveraging off all these attributes will give Auckland the opportunity to enhance its innovation system, draw on its connections to the Asia-Pacific region, earn export income and enhance its prosperity.

362a. Overall, although it is important that all sectors improve their productivity and export performance, the greatest gains may be made from initially focusing on removing impediments and facilitating opportunities for these key sectors. Innovation in these niche areas builds on established expertise and has scope for further development. The ability to develop competitive clusters of companies that can succeed against international competition in the domestic and international markets in a sustainable way is a key focus of Aucklands economic development strategy. Sector development policy and initiatives recognise that economic growth relies, in part, on strong networks and linkages between those in that sector. There are costs in developing and maintaining these links, but their absence can stifle innovation because ideas and experience are not shared. Clustering is one way of developing these linkages and networks. Industry clusters are emerging, with the marine sector in Hobsonville and Wynyard Quarter, food and beverage in south Auckland and the Airport precinct, health in Takapuna and Middlemore, the proposed Innovation Park in the city and the equine sector in the rural parts of Auckland. Supporting these sectors with appropriate infrastructure and planning will be a key element of Councils strategy. OTHER ELEMENTS TO SHOW ON MAP 4.1

skilled migrants to Auckland, and improving Aucklands physical connections to the world. To help create the step change in our economic path, we must strengthen the international connections between Auckland and other international cities and countries with the aim of improving trade and investment ties. 367_ Firms with export potential must be supported to internationalise and expand their boundaries to lucrative international markets. Auckland needs to move from being primarily an internally-focused supply chain economy to an internationally driven value chain economy. It already adds value to the high end of the countrys supply chain, but there is room for improvement. 368_ Tourism and education provide important contributions to Aucklands export earnings. Auckland attracts skilled workers and knowledge-intensive high-value sectors, with 70% of new migrants settling in Auckland. Many migrants remain connected to their source countries, offering scope for further mutual benefit between countries as discussed above (also see Chapter 1). International firms and entrepreneurs are attracted to Auckland, often because of the lifestyle it provides, the ease of establishing a company and the relatively cheap and relatively well-educated labour force. Attracting such firms brings investment and business activity to further strengthen Aucklands economy, providing entry points into overseas markets. 369_ Key stakeholders must work collaboratively to maximise the value of these international connections. Central government plays a central part through trade negotiations, and foreign affairs is crucial as an ambassador for NZ and in providing the policy framework to mediate NZs international relations, as well as establishing the conditions for foreign investment in NZ. National agencies such as NZTE provide business links to offshore markets and offer support and guidance for firms wishing to internationalise. Organisations such as Kea and NZTE provide links between firms in NZ and business opportunities abroad. Auckland Council can support international connections through its international partner cities and through facilitating relationships in Auckland and nationally, and by providing services and infrastructure that support international connections. 370_ Auckland plays a vital role in connecting NZ internationally through its airport and seaports. Auckland Airport is a key business for Auckland in several respects as the gateway for international and domestic tourists and migrants, as an export port for high-value goods, and as a provider of business development in surrounding areas. The upper North Island must be able to meet the short and long tem growth requirements of an export drien economy, through the capacity of its ports and freight transport system. 370a Ports of Auckland plays a critical role in NZs freight capacity, operating ports on both Waitemata and Manukau harbours and an inland port at Wiri. Aucklands planning needs to take into account the export and import function served by both the Airport and Ports of Auckland and the associated operational needs of both. This includes the national freight requirements, particularly in relation to the ports of Tauranga and Whangarei, as well as the transport infrastructure that connects them. Wider North Island connections fundamental to the economy of Auckland and its neighbours are discussed in Section C and Chapters 10 and 11. The interdependencies between the ports suggest that while further rationalisation is possible, the growing freight task will require all the present ports to maintain and expand their operations to ensure NZ can meet its export and import requirements (see Chapter 10). Under all growth scenarios, Auckland will continue to need a major seaport. The growth plans for the Port of Auckland need to be consistent with the Auckland Plans vision to be the worlds most liveable city. 371_ By positioning Auckland as the powerhouse for sustainable business, supported by a nation committed to renewable energy and a clean green image, Auckland can attract national and international head offices. With the growth of corporate social responsibility, companies are now looking to broader factors such as the carbon profile and renewable energy opportunities in deciding on their head office location (also see Chapter 10).

Directive 4.10 8 Reinforce the global connections of Auckland businesses and work to attract firms and skilled migrants to Auckland. PRIORITY 4 Enhance investment in people to grow skills and a local workforce
76 372_ Investing in our people and attracting and retaining talent are critical to Aucklands success in a rapidly changing international economy. To improve Aucklands economic performance, the skill level and participation of Aucklanders must increase. Skill shortages impede innovation and business development, and reflect costly social dislocation. 373_ Aucklands young demographic offers huge potential to meet current and future workforce needs, but the current mismatch between the supply and their skill set and workforce demands needs addressing. Annual average youth unemployment in Auckland in the March September 2011 quarter was 31% for 15-19 year olds and 132% for 20-24 year olds. Many adults also face barriers to work through poor literacy and numeracy, including digital literacy. In addition, significant numbers of Aucklanders face cultural, socioeconomic, physical hurdles distance and disabilities impeding their participation in work. Removing barriers and improving education and labour market outcomes for these communities is therefore critical to Aucklands prosperity (also see Chapter 1). 374_ Economic transformation requires improving the level of skill across the spectrum. Low-skill jobs will remain important to keep Aucklands economy and society functioning, but skill levels must increase. We face shortages in many key areas, which impede growth opportunities. Overcoming shortages involves growing our own talent as well as attracting skilled migrants. 375_ Auckland has substantial capacity to train highly skilled graduates and is fortunate in the high calibre of its tertiary institutions. However, while our education system turns out highly skilled graduates, many choose to leave to work in other countries, lured by international experience and larger salaries. While some return to NZ, many do not. 376_ Aucklands incomes do not compare with those of other countries also seeking to attract highly skilled workers. We must therefore compete on the unique factors that Auckland offers if we are to attract and keep the skilled workforce on which economic success depends. 377_ Mori have a critical role to play in Aucklands future development. Close and ongoing collaboration with iwi and government and community agencies will improve the opportunities and prospects of Mori youth through education and skill development. Local iwi can also be supported in finalising treaty settlements in the Tamaki Makaurau and Northland (Ngapuhi) areas. These settlements (and the prior Tainui settlement) can be leveraged to provide the leadership and resources to spur economic development for Mori and possibly for others as well. This will provide another concrete link between the economic development goals and the actions elsewhere in the plan for the advancement of all groups in society.
377a In the same way as Maori, Pasifika people in Auckland hold the key to the economic success of the city. By 2026, 15% of Aucklands population will be Pasefika, but in contrast to the rest of the city, they are young and will be major contributors to Aucklands economy in the future. Councils plan for putting children and young people first will support the educational achievement and value of this tsunami of young people in the worlds most liveable city.
378_ A clear understanding of skills needs in high-value and high-growth sectors is required to inform workforce planning and assist economic growth, supported by an integrated stakeholder approach to lift skills in Auckland. It must bring together the diverse interests, activities and partners, across a number of areas, to support a collaborative strategy aimed at improving Aucklands skills. Specific actions must focus

on areas where pockets of low skills, high unemployment and underemployment exist, such as within the Southern Initiative area.
Directive 4.11 9 Work jointly to increase skill levels across the age and skill spectrum with an emphasis on disadvantaged youth, and remove barriers to participation and labour productivity for Aucklands workforce. Directive 4.12 10 Support Aucklands tertiary institutions and R&D providers to develop the skills needed for innovative high value industries, recognising that these industries also serve to attract skilled migrants and New Zealanders wishing to return. Directive 4.131 Improve communication between education providers including schools, universities, polytechs, industry training providers, sector organisations, and firms to respond to changing skill requirements. Directive 4.142 Support further skill development and labour market participation for Mori, and support local iwi to finalise and leverage Treaty settlements to enable economic development to benefit Mori. Directive 4.15 3 Improve education Support further skill development and labour market participation for Pacific youth. Directive 4.12 Support programmes to transition youth from education into the workforce and create local jobs to retain youth in the area. Directive 4.13 Support programmes to transition youth from education into the workforce and enable local jobs for youth in rural and urban Auckland. PRIORITY 5 Develop a creative, vibrant world city
379_ Auckland is already an appealing city, as well as the gateway to a country with an entrenched reputation as one of the most beautiful in the world. Other sections of this Plan demonstrate that development and growth must occur without compromising the features that make Auckland a desirable place to be. 380_ There is significant scope to develop Auckland into a vibrant world city by promoting and building on its sporting, creative, art and cultural experiences, as well as valuing and leveraging its physical attributes: its unique combination of harbours, volcanoes and green-blue environment (see Chapters 3 and 5). 381_ Diverse, vibrant, beautiful cities are more likely to attract innovative, skilled people and investment, and benefit residents and visitors alike. Other sections of the Auckland Plan describe how Aucklands rural and urban environment and its culture and heritage can be sustained, valued and leveraged. A distinctive city brand can capitalise on these attributes and help to differentiate Auckland and enhance its international
Page 158

reputation by providing a coherent value proposition to attract tourists visitors, migrants, researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs, investors and events, and the associated benefits they bring. 382_ Attracting visitors can bring huge benefits to Auckland, as the visitor economy can by used to both subsidise and accelerate Aucklands transition into the worlds most liveabe city. Enhancing Aucklands visitor proposition will not only attract more visitors to the region, it will also provide Aucklanders with more employment and income, greater social amenity and more choices. This in turn will lead to help attract skilled workers and businesses to Auckland. 383 Tourism is already one of Aucklands major export earners: international visitors to Auckland spent $3.3.4.7 bn in 2010: 1.96bn (59% by international visitors and $1.36 bn by domestic visitors.6 the year to March 2011 Auckland attracts 37% of New Zealands international visitor expenditure and 21% of domestic tourism expenditure, and growth in tourism spending in the region averages just over 2% per annum. Overall the Auckland visitor economy has grown by around $250m (8%) since 20057. 383a_ Making Auckland a destination in its own right can enhance this contribution by encouraging people to visit and stay longer.To accelerate the growth of Aucklands visitor economy, and realise the associated benefits, we need to attract more, high-value visitors and encourage longer stays. However, this requires improvements to Aucklands visitor proposition, such as the range of retail and cultural facilities, access to public transport and public services, and links to green spaces and beautiful settings developing authentic cultural experiences and waterfront attractions, and strengthening links between the city and its harbours, regional parks and our rural areas and their offerings. 383b The Auckland Visitor Plan sets out an ambitious plan to maximize Aucklands potential as a visitor destination, transforming the visitor economy and increasing visitor expenditure beyond historic growth rates. The Visitor Plan identifies specific investments and interventions that will make Auckland attractive to visitors by enhancing visitor infrastructure, developing our visitor offerings and improving Aucklands amenity. 383c The growth of infrastructure and services required to accommodate a growing visitor economy provides an opportunity for the Auckland region to further develop businesses and amenities in a sustainable manner. Aucklands environment is a significant part of our tourism offer and it is necessary for Aucklands visitor industry to be socially and environmentally responsible. Promoting and developing eco tourism opportunities is another critical part of our offer. 383d Developing a distinctive event and festival portfolio (recognising the role that both public and private venues play) and actively promoting Auckland internationally can also contribute to making Auckland a vibrant, creative world city that has a comparative advantage in attracting and retaining talented people (also see Chapter 3). Major events can provide a range of positive outcomes for Auckland. High profile events, such as the Volvo Ocean race, will not only leave a valuable legacy, they also help promote Auckland to the world and contribute to a growing sense of pride in Auckland as a world class city. Using the success of the Rugby World Cup 2011 as a template for the future, the Auckland Major Events Strategy aims to build a portfolio of major economic and social events that will stimulate these outcomes for Auckalnd. The strategy to attract skilled migrants and business investment is discussed above. 384_ Key infrastructure, such as the well-connected international airport, effective transport network, cruise ship terminal, and international conference and convention facility, contribute to improving Aucklands international attraction, especially for business visitors. The Auckland Council will work with government, funders and infrastructure providers to maintain and develop key infrastructure in Auckland, and ensure that the benefits are fully realised for the advantage of all Aucklanders.

385_ In support of the Auckland Plan, the Council has, through the combined efforts of its stakeholders, developed an Economic Development Strategy (EDS). The EDS provides further detail regarding the priority areas outlined above, and also identifies four cross-cutting opportunities which are equally important in achieving the strategys aims (these are summarised in Box 4.1). The Council will also work closely with its economic development CCO (ATEED) to implement the approach to Aucklands economic development.
BOX 4.1: AUCKLAND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY CROSS CUTTING OPPORTUNITIES 78 Sustainable eco economy
We will ensure opportunities which are now emerging in areas such as clean technologies, renewable energy, photo-voltaic energy, local energy generation and waste management, high performance batteries and electric technologies are fully capitalized on in Auckland. Transitioning to a sustainable eco-economy requires green growth - this is a highly debated term, but is generally defined as a means to create jobs and economic growth while reducing costs and environmental impacts over the long term8 . To achieve this growth, investment, competition and innovation must be catalysed through the use of new technology, infrastructure and provision of services. This will require new thinking and a new approach between business, industry, the council and central government. The emerging global shift towards green growth is driven by an awareness of environmental challenges and the pressure on global resources. The Governments Green Growth Advisory Group9 believes that economies will shift to more sustainable practices, driven by change in many sectors including consumer preferences, market demand, business strategy, government policy, global governance and the mergence of clean tech technologies. The challenge for Auckland is to move from being fossil fuel-dependent, with high energy demands, to a lower carbon economy that makes more efficient use of energy and other resources. Reducing Aucklands carbon emissions (see Chapter 6, Directive 6.1) can also create economic opportunities. As the world increasingly recognises global environmental challenges, NZ can capitalise on and bolster its reputation as clean and green. New Zealand is already known for its innovation in some of the green industries through leveraging its landbased expertise. The transformation required is to build on our present position and expand further into green technologies. There are opportunities for Auckland and New Zealand to be world leaders in this field.
Facilitating an iwi/Mori economic powerhouse

Mori have steadily increased their contribution to New Zealands economy, as evidenced in the gradual growth in value Mori have added to GDP from 1.4 per cent in 1996 to 5.9 per cent in 2010. The Mori economy is not based only upon enterprises, investment and transactions, but also on its point of difference centred on its culture and language. Access to education and employment are crucial enablers of the Mori economy. These enablers are predicated upon supply of education programmes in conjunction with access to formal education institutes, and the provision of funding, investment and decision-making processes. There are opportunities for Mori to continue to make gains in terms of skills and education and use their assets to increase economic prosperity domestically and internationally. The transfer of assets from Treaty of Waitangi settlements continues to enhance the platform for iwi and Mori led economic development in Auckland. The land settlements are estimated to be $250 million, which includes the return of South Mangawhai, Woodhill and Riverhead forests as well as a number of Crown properties including Aucklands volcanic cones. Further opportunities for purchasing back land from the Crown under a first right of refusal are also being negotiated. This will provide a substantial base for iwi to
8 Hammer, S. et al. (2011), Cities and Green Growth: A Conceptual Framework, OECD Regional Development Working Papers 2011/08, OECD Publishing. 9 Government Green Growth Advisory Group, July 2011. 'Green Growth - Issues for New Zealand',

grow their wealth and contribute to Aucklands economy. To put this into context, Ngati Whatua o Orakei turned their $3 million settlement into a $300 million asset in the period of 20 years. In addition to these negotiations, there are other types of settlement that iwi and hapu are entitled to seek. Commercial fishing has been settled, providing iwi with substantial interests in commercial fishing. The completion of aquaculture settlement, entitling iwi to 20% of existing aquaculture operations and any new aquaculture space, increases the opportunities for Mori to participate in aquaculture. This theme provides the scope for the Auckland Council and partners to support Mori economic aspirations through partnerships and working with Mori. Several actions in this strategy focus on the provision of joint programmes to facilitate training and employment outcomes; to facilitate sustainable networks to inform regional economic development; and to enable joint working relationships between Mori organisations. Actions also include forming joint partnerships between Mori, the Auckland Council and the private sector on infrastructure development, and leveraging cultural difference to provide partnership opportunities for authorised Mori tourism ventures to accentuate the point of difference concerning Auckland. Consistent with creating a sustainable eco economy, it is important that economic opportunities are balanced with environmental considerations.
Developing and enhancing an innovative rural and maritime economy
We will also work with our upper North Island neighbours to expand city-region cooperation and to better link our rural based production and urban based food processing and manufacturing for exports. Chapter 5 provides more detail on the importance we place on our coastline, harbours, islands and marine areas and the importance of protecting them while still providing for economic activities associated with tourism, boating and aquculture.
Supporting a diverse ethnic economy

We will channel Aucklands diversity to achieve our aspiration to be the innovation hub of the Asia-Pacific region by capitalising on our international connections and networks. MOVED PARAGRAPH 59 TO HERE. Auckland is now far more ethnically diverse than that of NZ as a whole. Auckland has significant migrant populations of Pacific Peoples, Asian, African, Middle Eastern and Latin American. Links between migrants and their source countries underscore Aucklands emerging international identity as a significant city in the Asia-Pacific region. New migrants can enhance our ability to build knowledge clusters, they can provide access to leading-edge ideas and technologies, and they often create new possibilities for increased trade through their international networks. However, if Auckland, its existing communities and new migrants are to fully realise the benefit of increased diversity, migrants must be able to readily integrate and access employment that makes full use of their qualifications and experience. This requires collaboration and adaptation on the part of employers, host communities and migrants themselves, and the appropriate immigration policy settings.

We will provide for innovative economic opportunities in Aucklands urban, rural and martime environments. We will provide for emerging economic and innovative activities in our rural and marine environments. These include opportunities in tourism, and in industries such as our uniquely intensive horticulture, viticulture, equine, aquaculture, and niche food sectors. Chapter 7 provides more information on how we will build an innovative, sustainable and growth orientated rural economy.
