5. 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.

   P Pirrit
   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:

   1. "That the Committee endorses the three level approach to the development of the isthmus district plan.
   2. That the Committee notes that the community development framework will be a core element of future liveable community plans.
   3. That the Council highlights the district plan aspects of any liveable community plan changes introduced through the isthmus district plan review in 2009.
   4. 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.
   5. That Bridget Graham, Chairperson Maungakiekie Community Board be thanked for her attendance and the information provided.
   6. That Community Boards be advised of this decision.
   7. 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 August 2007, be noted.
