Waste Management and Minimisation Plan Status Update Report
File No.:CP2013/26278
Purpose
1. The purpose of this report is to provide the committee with a brief overview of the currentstatus of councils work in implementing the Auckland Waste Management and MinimisationPlan (WMMP). An overview of councils agreed WMMP work programme for 2014 and 2015on this project is also provided.
Executive Summary2. The Auckland WMMP was approved by the governing body in June 2012, after extensive
consultation with the public, key stakeholders and local boards.
3. The vision of the plan is: to become the most liveable city in the world, Auckland will aim forthe long-term, aspirational goal of Zero Waste by 2040, turning its waste into resources.
4. To help achieve this goal, the plan sets out a series of actions to be implemented by council.This report summarises the progress that has been made on key projects involved inimplementing the WMMP, including:
the establishment of the Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fundadoption of the Solid Waste Bylaw and development of related waste controlsdevelopment and implementation of a comprehensive procurement plan to support themajor changes to kerbside waste collection services that were approved in the WMMPinitial work to develop a Resource Recovery Network (RRN) throughout the region.communication strategies and engagement activities to both prepare communities forchange and achieve our waste minimisation outcomes as defined in the WMMP
5. The report also outlines which of these projects are likely to have major impacts on councils
work programme throughout 2014 and 2015.
Recommendation/sThat the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee:
a) receive the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan Status Update Report.
Discussion6. The Auckland Councils Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP) was approved
by the governing body in June 2012, after extensive consultation with the public, keystakeholders and local boards.
7. The vision of the plan is: to become the most liveable city in the world, Auckland will aim forthe long-term, aspirational goal of Zero Waste by 2040, turning its waste into resources.
8. As a paradigm, zero waste is the complete opposite of sending waste to landfill sites. Itentails looking at the whole cycle of a resource, from how it is designed, why we buy it, howwe use it and then what happens when weve finished with it. Zero waste sees waste as aresource that can be used to create jobs and new products, and breathe new life into thingsthat would otherwise be thrown away.
9. To help achieve our goal of zero waste, the plan also sets some bold targets. These are:to reduce the amount of domestic kerbside waste sent to landfill by 30% by 2018, from160 kg to 110 kg per capita per year.
to reduce councils own in-house waste by 30% per capita by 2018to reduce total council and private sector influenced waste to landfill by 30% by 2027

10. To achieve this final target, council will have to work closely with the commercial sector ascouncil only directly influences approximately 17% of the waste stream.
11. The WMMP identifies a series of key actions that will be needed to achieve these targetsand based on these, council officers have begun work on a series of major projects. Some ofthese projects, like establishing the Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund (WMIF), havealready been completed successfully. For other projects, such as the procurement of new
waste collection services, there is still a significant amount of work to be done. A summary ofprogress on each project is provided below, along with some insight into how they willimpact on councils future work programme for 2014 and 2015.
The Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund
12. The WMIF is a grants scheme established under the WMMP to support initiatives that willhelp achieve the vision, targets and strategic objectives of the WMMP by minimising wasteto landfill. It is open to community groups, businesses, iwi, and educational institutions.
13. The process for administering the fund was approved by the Regional Development andOperations Committee in February 2013. Since then officers have completed one successfulfunding round in April 2013, and have begun work on a second.
14. The April 2013 funding round received 95 applications requesting total funding of $2.7million and awarded $495,783 out of a $500,000 funding pool. The second round of the fundclosed on 31 October 2013, and has received a further 65 applications. In both fundingrounds, officers have received relevant applications from a wide range of community groups,businesses and other organisations. Key topics include resource recovery enterprises,school organic systems, and technological innovations.
15. Going forward, officers will continue to run two funding rounds a year. These consist of asmaller funding round in April, which is only open to small grant applications (less than$5,000) and distributes $25,000 in total and a larger funding round in October which is opento larger grant applications and distributes $475,000.
Adoption of the Solid Waste Bylaw and related controls
16. The Solid Waste Bylaw is a regulatory tool developed by council to help achieve the goals ofthe WMMP. It was adopted by Auckland Council in October 2012. As well as regulatingvarious aspects of waste management, such as the need for waste minimisation at events,the bylaw provides for council to create a series of detailed controls to regulate thecollection, transportation and disposal of waste within the Auckland region.
17. In early 2013 council began work on developing the first controls under the bylaw. Thesecontrols, relating to the times and ways in which waste can be collected, and the levels ofcontamination allowed in refuse and recycling containers, were approved by the RegionalDevelopment and Operations Committee in September 2013. Further controls, on topicssuch as waste collection from multi-unit developments or the management of cleanfills and
landfills, will be developed over the next two years. These controls will be developed inconsultation with the waste industry, local boards, the public and other key stakeholders tobecome operational in 2015.
Major waste service changes
18. The WMMP proposes that all Aucklanders should receive a regionally consistent level ofwaste collection services, which will contribute to achieving the goals of the WMMP. Theseinclude:
Organics:Organic waste makes up 40% of the average Auckland rubbish bin. To helpdivert this waste from landfill, all Aucklanders living in urban areas will receive akerbside organics collection.
Enhanced recycling:To increase recycling rates, all Aucklanders will receive a
fortnightly collection of recycling in a larger bin. Typical bin size will be 240 litres (suchas those currently available in the legacy Auckland and Manukau City Council areas),with a choice from 140 to 360 litres.

Waste Management and Minimisation Plan Status Update Report Page 15
Improved inorganics:An improved inorganics service will be provided to allAucklanders annually. Residents will make a booking in advance and have inorganicmaterial collected from their property, rather than from the kerb. This change willsignificantly increase the amount of material from the inorganics that can be reused orrecycled.User pays rubbish:A key objective of introducing a user pays rubbish system is to
make people more accountable for the waste they produce. In line with this goal, afortnightly user pays rubbish collection will be offered to all Aucklanders. Typical binsize will be 120 litres, with a choice from 60 to 240 litres. Rural and Hauraki Gulf Islandresidents will have a choice of bins or bags.
19. Under this system, households that respond to waste minimisation programmes andincrease their use of recycling and organic waste services should have lower costs for theircouncil-provided waste services.
Procurement process
20. A procurement plan for these major service changes was approved by the Tenders andProcurement sub-committee of council on 3 September 2013. Since then, two Requests forExpressions of Interest (REOIs) and a Request for Proposals (RFP) have been released bycouncil to the market, covering:
The provision of refuse, recycling and organic collection servicesThe provision of organic waste processing servicesThe provision of solid waste disposal, transfer station, haulage and processingservices.
21. Over the next 3 months, the following documents will be released to market:An REOI for the provision of inorganic collection servicesAn RFP for the provision of resource recovery centre operations services for WaiukuAn REOI for the supply, distribution and retrofitting of binsAn RFP for the development of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system which
will be used to place electronic tags in bins and record when they are emptied.22. Managing the procurement process and preparing for implementation of these contracts
post July 2015 will be a major ongoing piece of work for the solid waste and procurementteams within council throughout 2014 and 2015.
23. The implementation of some of these major waste service changes, especially theintroduction of a user pays refuse system, will also require many departments of council towork in a closely integrated fashion, including Communications and Public Affairs, CustomerService, Finance, and Information Services. A cross-departmental working group has beencreated to facilitate this integrated approach and is meeting regularly.
Development of a Resource Recovery Network
24. One key project identified in the WMMP was the need to establish a Resource RecoveryNetwork (RRN) for the Auckland region. This would consist of a network of facilities thatwould provide a convenient place for local residents and businesses to drop off their usedfurniture, clothes, whiteware, hazardous waste and other materials. In addition, recoveredmaterials from the inorganics collection service could also be dropped off at these facilities.These materials could then be recycled or reused, rather than being sent to landfill.
25. Planning for the RRN is still underway but it is envisaged it would include:a small number of large Resource Recovery Parks focused predominantly oncommercial waste that would act as more substantial hubs of the networka larger number of smaller Community Recycling Centres (CRCs) focused on servinglocal households and businesses
local Drop-off Depots for isolated areas or where there is limited space.26. These facilities would be spread across the region and could be run by businesses,
community organisations, and iwi. They would create valuable opportunities for localemployment and enable large quantities of materials to be diverted from landfill.

27. In the short-term, five council-owned sites have been identified as being priorities forredevelopment into resource recovery facilities from 2014. The sites approved in theProcurement Plan are the:1. Waiuku Transfer Station2. Waitakere Refuse and Recycling Centre3. Central isthmus site (location to be identified)
4. Devonport Transfer Station5. Helensville Resource Recovery Centre
28. It is envisaged that some of these community recycling facilities could be run as not-for-profitor social enterprises by community groups. Several local boards have also become involvedin funding or supporting feasibility studies for CRCs, and this may shape where othercentres are established in future.
29. Council will take a holistic approach to the procurement process for the RRN, includingconsideration of the social and environmental benefits of different providers.
Communication strategy and community engagement to prepare for change
30. Council is in the process of finalising a region-wide communications strategy that will support
the implementation of the major waste service changes proposed in the WMMP. Thiscommunications plan will be crucial to ensuring that Aucklanders understand what they needto do when new services, such as the kerbside organics collection, are introduced. It willalso be vital in ensuring that Aucklanders feel inspired to help achieve the aspirational goalof Zero Waste by 2040.
31. In line with the priority areas identified in the WMMP, a tailored community engagement anddevelopment approach is also being used to support communities who are likely toexperience the greatest challenges in adapting to a user pays rubbish collection system. Thefocus is particularly on areas where there are vulnerable communities, such as SouthAuckland, the Maungakiekie-Tamaki area, and the Hauraki Gulf Islands.
32. In these areas there has been engagement with over 800 residents, community leaders,
organisations and businesses to determine the barriers and constraints to wasteminimisation and what will motivate people to change. This process is revealing theenthusiasm of residents and organisations to develop community-led solutions to wasteissues. Some key themes that will inspire people to engage include:
Growing food, gardening and compostingNeighbourhood solutions and championsCommunity pride and safetyCreativity, fun and competitionsOpportunities for employment, training and social enterprise.
33. As a result of the engagement process a number of initiatives and community led projectsare underway, for example Otara Health Charitable Trust is training street leaders from their
125 Neighbourhood Support Groups to become waste champions.
Waste minimisation programmes
34. A wide range of waste minimisation programmes, which support the goals of the WMMP, arebeing delivered by Auckland Council. Highlights of this work are described below.
Engagement with Maori and mana whenua:Council is working with Ngati Whatua oOrakei Trust Board on implementing a Zero Waste programme in 12 marae.WasteWise Schools programme:Council is supporting schools around the region toreduce their waste25 schools have graduated from the two year long WasteWiseprogramme and another 57 are actively enrolled.Schools outreach:In the last financial year, council provided 191 schools and
kindergartens with educational resources and practical support to reduce waste.Educational visits to Waste Minimisation Learning Hubs:Over 10,000 Aucklandersparticipated in a free interactive waste education class and site tour at one of our threelearning centres in the last financial year.

Zero Waste Events:Council is working with the Auckland Zero Waste Association, acommunity partner, to support 15-20 events around the region to minimise their wastein the summer events season from September 2013 to April 2014.
Cloth nappy programme:Council held workshops with more than 677 attendees toencourage them to use cloth rather than disposable nappies in the last financial year.Create Your Own Eden composting courses:Over the last financial year, 79 free
composting workshops were held around the region with 1,585 participants.Composting for Communities:In the last financial year, 450 participants from diverseethnic communities attended 16 courses to learn about composting, bokashi and othermethods of waste reduction from community tutors.Litter prevention strategy: Council has signed a Memorandum of Understanding withkey stakeholders, such as Keep New Zealand Beautiful, the New Zealand TransportAgency and Kiwirail to develop a litter prevention strategy.
Conclusion
35. In summary, council has made good progress throughout 2013 towards implementing theWMMP. Some major projects included in the WMMP, such as the development of theWMIF, have already been completed and have become part of the councils business as
usual work programme.
36. Going forward into 2014 and 2015, implementation of the WMMP will continue to be ademanding task. In particular, the implementation of the major changes in waste servicesthat are scheduled to begin after July 2015 will be a major part of councils work programmeover the next three years. These changes will impact on almost all Auckland residents andso it is vital to ensure they are delivered as efficiently and effectively as possible. Thedevelopment and delivery of the RRN will also be a major project that will require anintegrated cross-departmental approach.
Consideration
Local Board Views37. Local boards receive regular reports on councils progress towards implementing the WMMP
through the Infrastructure and Environmental Services quarterly update reports to the localboards. Local boards have also expressed support for many of the projects involved inimplementing the WMMP. For example, a number of boards have become involved infunding scoping or business studies for Community Recycling Centres.
Maori Impact Statement
38. It is recognised that the tangata whenua world view reflects the WMMPs emphasis on anintegrated life cycle approach to the management of natural resources and the concepts ofzero waste, waste recovery and waste minimisation. Some mana whenua and other Maori
organisations have already indicated a strong interest in being involved in achieving theWMMPs objectives, through engagement on projects such as the RRN. Moving forward, it isenvisioned that many WMMP projects will provide opportunity for active Maori involvementas council moves towards the more holistic management of natural resources.

Delegation of decision making on the Waste Minimisation andInnovation Fund
File No.:CP2013/26573
Purpose1. To seek delegation for the Environment, Climate Change and Natural Heritage Committee to
make decisions on applications to the Auckland Council Waste Minimisation and InnovationFund (WMIF) for medium ($5,000 to $25,000) and large (over $25,000) grant applications.
Executive Summary2. The Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund is a grant scheme which was established in
February 2013 as one of the key initiatives of the Auckland Council Waste Management andMinimisation Plan (WMMP).
3. The aim of the fund is to support initiatives that will help achieve the vision, targets and
strategic objectives of the WMMP through reducing waste to landfill. The fund has a specificfocus on seed funding new initiatives, including developing business and community basedresource recovery centres and programmes.
4. The fund has $500,000 to distribute annually. This funding comes from the waste levy whichis central government funding allocated to local government authorities to spend onachieving waste minimisation outcomes.
5. This report asks the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee to delegate decision makingon medium ($5,000 to $25,000) and large (over $25,000) applications to the fund to theEnvironment, Climate Change and Natural Heritage committee.
Recommendation
That the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee:
a) allocate the budget and delegate the decision-making responsibility for applicationsfor medium ($5,000 to $25,000) and large (over $25,000) grants from the WasteMinimisation and Innnovation Fund to the Environment, Climate Change and NaturalHeritage Committee.
DiscussionBackground
6. The Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund is funded through the national waste levy.These are funds allocated by central government to local body authorities to enable them topromote or achieve waste minimisation as set out in the Waste Management andMinimisation Plan (WMMP), in accordance with section 47 of the Waste Minimisation Act2008.
7. The Waste Minimisation Act also requires each local body authority to develop a local wastemanagement and minimisation plan.
8. In accordance with these requirements, the Auckland Council WMMP was adopted on 20June 2012.
9. The vision of the WMMP: to become the most liveable city in the world Auckland will aim forthe long-term, aspirational goal of Zero Waste by 2040 by turning its waste into resources isdirectly linked with the Auckland Plan target to achieve zero waste to landfill by 2040. The
WMMP has three targets and eight strategic objectives which work towards the zero wastevision. Some of the objectives of the WMMP are to target priority waste streams, reduceharm to the environment and improve efficiency of resource use.

10. To help achieve these goals, the Governing Body also resolved to establish a grantsscheme as part of the waste policy and operational actions of the WMMP. They specifiedthat the fund should function as follows:
Part C Action Plan: C9. Grants scheme. That the Governing Body supports:i. An annual grants scheme, noting the potential of a funding partnership with the
government waste levy fund (Ministry for the Environment) in some instances.
ii. The grants scheme being open to business, the community and voluntary sector andMaori organisations.
iii. The initial set up of a small political subgroup of Council to allocate funds under thegrants scheme.
iv. The criteria for the Fund to be focused on the seeding of new initiatives includingdeveloping business and community based resource recovery centres andprogrammes.
11. In accordance with this, council officers developed the Waste Minimisation and InnovationFund. A proposal for how this fund should be administered was approved by the RegionalDevelopment and Operations Committee of council in February 2013.
Overview of Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund
12. The fund aims to either complement and enhance existing programmes, address gaps oropportunities for waste minimisation, or result in a significant expansion in the scope orcoverage of existing activities.
13. It prioritises applications under four key funding outcome areas:1. Resource recovery initiatives and facilities2. Commercial waste3. Organic waste4. Community action and behaviour change.
14. These outcome areas are waste minimisation priorities for the Auckland region and linkclosely with, and complement, other actions in the WMMP.
15. The outcome areas for the fund may change each year in line with implementation workcarried out under the WMMP. The decision was made that these outcome areas will bereviewed each year to ensure they are consistently aligned with the WMMP implementationwork.
16. Only projects that promote or achieve waste minimisation are eligible for funding through theWMIF. Waste minimisation covers the reduction of waste, and the reuse, recycling andrecovery of waste and diverted material. The fund does not cover projects that focus onwaste disposal or on the treatment of waste for disposal or clean ups. It also does not coverprojects that do not involve waste generated from within the Auckland region.
17. Successful applications will be assessed against the following weighted criteria:
Waste minimisation - 40 percentValue for investment - 20 percentAlignment with the strategic objectives and guiding principles of the WMMP - 15 percentCommunity participation and community benefit - 20 percentQuality of proposal - 5 percent.
18. The fund will cover up to 50 percent of the cost of each project. Applicants need todemonstrate adequate sources of additional funding from their own or other resources, oroffer value in kind.
19. The scheme has an annual funding pool of $500,000. If funds are not fully allocated in oneyear they will roll over into the following year.
20. The sub-categories for funding allocation are:Small and simple projects (open twice per year) : Grants from $250 to $5,000Medium projects (open once per year) : Grants over $5,000 and up to $25,000Large projects (open once per year) : Grants over $25,000

Delegation of decision making on the Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund Page 21
Decision making processes for the fund
21. A total of $50,000 is allocated to the small projects sub-category in any year to be allocatedin two funding rounds (held in April and October).
22. Local board members are asked to give input and local feedback on small grant applicationsbefore a final decision is made by the Tier Four Manager Solid Waste (who is the delegated
decision maker for these applications).23. There is one funding round per year for medium and large grants which can distribute a total
value of $450,000 (held in October). The maximum amount for the large projects is $50,000per project, but larger grants might be considered on merit at the discretion of the council.
24. These applications are considered by subject matter experts who then make arecommendation to the relevant committee of council as to which grants should be funded.The final decision on medium and large grants is made by a committee or sub-committee ofthe governing body which has been delegated this responsibility.
25. This report recommends that allocation of this budget and delegation over decision makingfor these medium and large grants should be allocated to the Environment, Climate Changeand Natural Heritage committee. As the committee of council that has primary responsibility
for dealing with matters relating to the natural environment, this committee seems the mostappropriate decision making body to be responsible for the fund.
26. This committee is also responsible for decision making on the Environmental InitiativesFund. This is a similar fund, in that it supports Aucklanders to be actively engaged in theenhancement and conservation of local environments and heritage.
Consideration
Local Board Views
27. Local board members will be asked to give input and feedback on small grant applications to
the fund from their local area. This feedback will help inform decision making over the smallgrant decision making, delegation for which is allocated to the Tier Four Manager SolidWaste.
Maori Impact Statement
28. As noted in the WMMP the tangata whenua world view reflects the WMMPs emphasis onan integrated life cycle approach to the management of natural resources and the conceptsof Zero Waste, waste recovery and waste minimisation. The WMIF provides funding to helpachieve the targets of the WMMP which longer term will create a closer relationship betweenhumans and the natural environment, while fostering new economic opportunities.
29. Some Maori organisations have already indicated a strong interest in being involved in
helping achieve the WMMPs objectives. The WMIF provides one potential opportunity foractive Maori involvement in starting to move towards the more holistic management ofnatural resources and the longer term benefits of designing differently to minimise waste.

Economic Development Status Update Report
File No.:CP2013/27582
Purpose
1. Providing an overview of the key economic issues for Auckland, and briefly outlines some ofthe key initiatives being progressed under Aucklands Economic Development Strategy(EDS).
Executive Summary2. After introductory comment on the Auckland economy, this short summary/status update
report identifies key opportunities and challenges before outlining how they are beingaddressed through the framework of the EDS and the ambitious targets it seeks to achieve.
3. The EDS targets will not be achieved by the council alone and we are working closely withour partners; ATEED and COMET, central government and business and industry. Theinitiatives underway are outlined in the context of the EDS themes; Business Friendly and
Well Connected, Innovation, internationalization, skills and a vibrant, creative internationalcity.
Recommendation/sThat the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee:
a) note the contents of this report.
Discussion4. The EDS was launched in September 2012 and is a comprehensive strategy with five
priorities and four underpinning themes. It formally acknowledges the need for economic
step change in Auckland through its ambitious targets around internationalization. It seeks toachieve this through an average annual increase in regional exports of greater than 6%, anaverage annual real GDP increase of greater than 5% and average annual productivitygrowth of greater than 2%.
Opportunities
5. Auckland is New Zealands main commercial centre and most internationally connected city,providing many of the services for the rest of New Zealand. For New Zealand to do well, it isimportant that Auckland does well.
6. The Auckland economy is showing signs of a more sustained and broad based recoveryfollowing the turmoil of the global financial crisis. For the year to July 2013, Auckland has
experienced real GDP growth of 2.9%. Unemployment has been declining with someemployment growth. Net migration, house sales, dwelling consents, tourism guest nightsand business confidence are trending upwards. Retail sales remain strong supported byconsumers with the rise in house prices buoying consumer confidence.
7. The construction sector has led the way with the increasing number of consents, a pre-cursor for the still-to-come build phase. Demand is picking up across finance, property, realestate and construction services, which in turn will be a catalyst to domestic manufacturingand retail.
8. Auckland has a number of sectors which are significant contributors to the New Zealandeconomy. Manufacturing is Aucklands largest industry, and a significant proportion of NewZealands high-tech manufacturing is located here. Tourism is also major earner receiving
about 37% of New Zealands international visitor expenditure and 21% of domesticexpenditure. Migration has, and continues to, make a significant contribution to Aucklandsgrowth. There is an increasing interest in the potential to leverage greater economicoutcomes for the region and New Zealand.

Challenges
9. Even so, challenges remain. The Auckland economy is domestically focused and exportsare proportionately less than the New Zealand average. While Auckland earns a productivitypremium over the rest of New Zealand, reflecting the mix of industries and sectors andemployment density, GDP per capita is low relative to comparator cities. Despite many higheducational achievements there are many school leavers with only low level or no
qualifications, contributing to the number of young people not in employment education ortraining (NEET), the skills gap and mismatches with vacancies.
10. In addition to contributing to New Zealands financial vulnerability (OECD 2013 EconomicOutlook), the increase in Auckland house prices raises the issue of affordability. It alsoholds implications for the supply of already scarce, larger tracts of land suitable for businessuse.
Auckland Council Economic Development Initiatives
11. Through the Auckland Plan and the EDS five priorities have been identified:
1. Grow a business-friendlyand well-functioning city
2. Develop an innovationhub of the Asia Pacific Rim
3. Become internationallyconnected and export driven
4. Enhance investment in people to grow skillsand a local workforce
5. Develop a vibrant, creative international city.
12. These five priorities areas are supported by four cross-cutting themes:
i creating a sustain able eco-economy
ii facilitating an iwi/mori economic powerhouse
iii developing and enhancing an innovative rural and maritime economy
iv supporting a diverse ethnic economy
13. The EDS cannot be implemented by Auckland Council alone. Our key implementationpartners are the councils CCOs: ATEED and COMET, central government, and importantly,business and industry. ATEED is developing a Growth and Competiveness Framework thatsets out how ATEED will implement the economic development priorities of the EDS. Boththe EDS and Growth and Competitiveness Framework are well aligned with theGovernments Business Growth agenda
14. Local economic developmentsupports the regional economy and the Auckland Council ispreparing Economic Development Overviews for Local Boards. These outline the baselineeconomic data for each Local Board area and an understanding of the strengths, challengesand opportunities within their local economies. Following this work, Local EconomicDevelopment Action Plans will be developed together with key business and economic
stakeholders.15. The Auckland Council is focused primarily on two priority areas: Business Friendly and
Well Functioning Cityand Skills. Ensuring the Auckland Council embeds/adopts aBusiness Friendly approach is a key activity, and a Business Friendly Dashboard to monitorcouncils business-friendliness is currently being developed to assist in measuring ourperformance in this area. The Dashboard will be reported to the Economy Rural and UrbanCommittee in July 2014.
16. The Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (PAUP) is a key tool and sets Auckland Councilsplanning policy framework. The Economic Development department (ED) is working closelywith the PAUP and Spatial Strategy Teams to ensure this framework is business friendlyprovides for sufficient business land to meet future growth. An important aspect of next
years work programme is to review and update the estimates of future business landdemand that were used to underpin the Auckland Plan. ATEED is also working withAuckland Council to ensure the Unitary Plan is business friendly as it relates to major eventsand filming activities.

17. The Auckland Council has also contributed strongly to the Core Cities networksdevelopment of Business Friendly Guidelines to be applied by across the network. TheGuidelines are to be launched and will be brought before the Auckland Council in early2014. (The Core Cities network is Auckland Council, Tauranga, Hamilton, Wellington,Christchurch and Dunedin City Councils, led and facilitated by LGNZ and MBIE under theauspices of the Metropolitan Mayors.)
18. Ensuring that Auckland functions well is of primary importance to business. AucklandCouncil is continuing to actively progress the City Rail Link, the East-West Link between SH1 and SH 20 and the linkages and services provided to major industrial concentrations.
19. Skillsare a priority for Aucklands businesses. Auckland Council is working with businesses,their representative organisations across the region to build capability, and to deliverinitiatives to better match skills supply and demand.
20. The Auckland Skills Steering Group has initiated a multi-agency project to better connectyouth transition initiatives in the Auckland region. This aims to deliver improved skills andemployment outcomes for Mori and Pacifica youth, with an initial focus on Mangere-Otahuhu.
21. The Auckland Council is participating in the development of an Auckland Construction andInfrastructure Workforce Roadmap with UNITEC, MIT and an alliance of providers to betterintegrate local and central government, education and business/industry objectives. A keymilestone is the development of an Auckland Construction and Infrastructure: Occupationand Skills Model, which is currently being tested with key stakeholders and has been builtusing the Auckland Economic Futures Model owned by Auckland Council.
22. The Mayors Youth Employment Action Plan is on track to be delivered to the Mayors officeby the end of 2013. It will also incorporate ATEEDs Skills Action Plan, recently approved bythe ATEEDs Board.
23. Achieving Aucklands target for productivity will require moreinnovation. The AucklandCouncil is working with the Auckland tertiary sector on its stock take of business innovation
enhancing programmes, services and facilities to develop a broad picture of engagementtertiary institutions with business on innovation. A stock take of innovation programmes,products and services focused on building the international capability of Aucklandbusinesses is also currently underway.
24. Auckland Councils digital policy provides a significant platform forinnovation. Council isworking with mobile telecommunications network operators to plan for the future rollout ofcellphone infrastructure, in partnership withAucklands 46 Business Improvement Districts,to communicate the benefits and processes of connecting to Ultrafast Broadband andassociated technologies. Auckland Council is also mobilising political and communityleadership around Chorus Gigatown competition to provide gigabit internet to one NewZealand town.
25. ATEEDs implementation of the Wynyard Quarter Innovation Precinct has been broughtforward by 2 years in response to the level of interest and a hub operator will be appointedshortly. ATEED and Callaghan Innovation have refreshed the funding and strategy for theFood Bowl so it is on a sound footing and better able to support its operations andcontribution to the food and beverage sector. ATEEDs Regional Partners programmecontinues to deliver strong results with Callaghan Innovation R&D investment of $1,840,138and $42,178 worth of NZTE capability development vouchers issued.
26. The Mayors review of Auckland Councils civic model of international relations with a moreeconomic and investment oriented approach with increased links with Aucklands majortrading partners in the Asia Pacific region is a key internationalisationinitiative.
27. Similarly, ATEEDs Auckland Investment Office will package major infrastructure andinvestment opportunities and act as one-stop-shop for off and on-shore investors. This willsignificantly support investor attraction, particularly in combination with the Aroha Auckland,ATEEDs multinational aftercare investor programme.

Show Never Stops, and recently with the six upper North Island RTOs, Tourism NewZealand, Qantas and Flight Centre Australia, Everyday a different story.
32. Auckland Council and ATEEDs commitment to accelerating Aucklands economicdevelopment will be supported by bringing cities expert Greg Clark to Auckland in January2014. This will result in a stock take of how delivery partners and industry are making thechanges required to achieve the targets set out in the EDS, and agree priorities for thefuture.
