ONEHUNGA AND ELLERSLIE WALKING AND CYCLING STUDIES
|
K Wong-Toi |
|
|
Senior Transport Planner |
27 July 2007 |
Reporting on the
issues raised from consultation on the proposed walking and cycling improvements
for Ellerslie and Onehunga, particularly around the loss of on-street parking
associated with proposed cycle lanes. As a follow up to the feedback received,
focus group meetings with the community were held for Onehunga and Ellerslie on
12 June 2007 and 13 June 2007 respectively. The key actions resulting from
these discussions were for council to look at options that addressed the main
concern of loss of on-street parking. The preliminary investigations indicate
that that indented parking may be an option for sections of Ladies Mile in
Ellerslie and Mays Road in Onehunga. Once the options for the revised design
have been ', council will review these internally and then arrange a meeting to
discuss the outcomes of the work with the community as a follow-up to the
earlier focus group meetings. A report will then be prepared to the Board
seeking endorsement on the preferred options for the cycle lanes.
Recommending that
the memorandum from the Senior Transport Planner, dated 27 July 2007, updating
progress on the Onehunga and Ellerslie walking and cycling studies, be received.

|
I Stenzel |
|
|
Transport Planner |
6 August 2007 |
Reporting on the
feasibility study funded by Board SLIPs funding to investigate a cycle and
walking link between Hugo Johnston Drive and Great South Road. A more direct
link between the Waikaraka cycleway and Great South Road is considered likely to
further encourage cycling and walking in Auckland and works towards achieving
the objectives outlined in the Cycling and Walking Strategy. Transport Strategy
has investigated a number of possible connections within the study area along
the rail corridor between Autumn Place and Bell Avenue. From the assessment two
feasible routes were determined, of which Option 1 (direct route) is recommended
to be progressed in to more detail at this stage.
Recommending that
the report of the Transport Planner, dated 6 August 2007, be received; that the
Board be thanked for the contribution of SLIPs funding for the feasibility
study; and that Transport Strategy progress Option 1 (direct route) to a more
detailed design stage, prior to consultation.

Group Manager, City Planning |
16 July 2007 |
Reporting that the
Isthmus section of the Auckland City District Plan was notified in 1993 and
brought together 10-12 district plans that existed prior to local government
amalgamation in 1989. It was also developed in the early days of the Resource
Management Act 1991 (RMA) and prior to the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA).
There are a number of significant factors that will inform and influence the
upcoming review of the operative district plan. These factors include changes to
legislation (both the RMA and the LGA), case law, the Long Term Council
Community Plan (LTCCP), the desire for more focused community outcomes and value
of 'sense of place', and the development of a vision and key strategies for
Auckland City Council.
This report was
presented to the Urban Strategy and Governance Committee on 2 August 2007, where
it was resolved as follows:
- "That the Committee endorses the three level
approach to the development of the isthmus district plan.
- That the Committee notes that the community
development framework will be a core element of future liveable community plans.
- That the Council highlights the district plan
aspects of any liveable community plan changes introduced through the isthmus
district plan review in 2009.
- That emphasis be given to the implementation
of the liveable community plans for Panmure, Glen Innes, Newmarket, Avondale,
Ellerslie, Otahuhu, Sylvia Park surrounds and that no further liveable community
plans be developed until after the district plan is reviewed in 2010.
- That Bridget Graham, Chairperson Maungakiekie
Community Board be thanked for her attendance and the information provided.
- That
Community Boards be advised of this decision.
- That the Committee notes that priority will be
given to the Onehunga area in developing the Area Plan approach and that:
- the Area Plan will give a detailed planning
framework for the future development of Onehunga
- this work will be developed in consultation
with stakeholders in the Onehunga area."
Recommending that
the report of the Group Manager, City Planning, dated 16 July 2007, be received,
and that the resolutions of the Urban Strategy and Governance Committee, dated 2
