17 Local board feedback on Auckland Transport's Parking Strategy Review
Resolution number MR/2021/151
MOVED by Member K Penney, seconded by Chairperson J Allan:
That the Manurewa Local Board:
a) whakaae / agree the following feedback on the review of Auckland Transport’s
Parking Strategy, ahead of public consultation on the review.
Relevance to the Manurewa Local Board
Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020
The Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020 contains a dedicated outcome relating to
transport:
Outcome 4: Our safe and accessible network provides transport options to meet
community needs
Minutes Page 6Manurewa Local Board
16 September 2021
We have the following aspirations:
• We move easily around Manurewa, well-connected by links between public
transport, walkways, cycleways and local roads.
• Our efficient transport system boosts the local economy and we’re
healthier for choosing more active ways of getting around.
We want to keep Manurewa moving. We know people want to be able to get to
work, school and other destinations on time. As such we will continue our
advocacy to AT for road infrastructure that keeps traffic moving and improves the
efficiency of key transport routes.
Providing transport choices will become even more important as we look to meet
the challenges of climate change and increased road congestion due to rapid
development. Manurewa has more residents travelling to work in private vehicles
than anywhere else in the region.
To change this, we need alternative methods of transport to be attractive,
affordable and accessible. We’re aiming for better transport connections across
our area, joining parks and community facilities, transport hubs, town centres
and industrial areas.
The Manurewa and Clendon shopping centres provide valuable services,
including doctors, libraries, banks and pharmacies. It is imperative we increase
the frequency and capacity of trains and buses to and from these town centres,
and improve our cycleways, linking more of our communities to public transport
hubs.
Our feedback is reflective of the fact that until this is achieved, our residents will
continue to be forced to use private cars. As such, our feedback reflects possible
implications for our community we want considered as part of the review of the
AT Parking Strategy.

Parking be undertaken in partnership with the local board, the
Management community and key stakeholders. We acknowledge the need
Plans (CPMP) for consistent guidelines and approaches but reinforce the
fact that ‘one size does not fit all’, and that local needs must
be taken into account.
Parking for Aucklanders have not yet made the shift required to fully
different types of utilise our transport network. In order for people to
transport relinquish their dependency on cars, the public transport
system needs to be reliable, frequent, affordable, accessible
and convenient. This may include identifying and delivering
opportunities to promote alternatives in the suburbs
experiencing intensification and in new subdivisions, such
as:
• localised Cityhop type car system
• vehicle hire
• on demand ride share options
• on-site parking for bicycles and motorbikes.
One in four people have a disability and one in ten have a
mobility disability. Given the current required number of
accessible carparks versus general carpark requirements, it
Minutes Page 7Manurewa Local Board
16 September 2021
must be assumed a number of people with moderate mobility
issues are using general carparks.
If the Parking Strategy impacts general carparking, people
with moderate mobility issues, who would have otherwise
utilised such carparks to enable access, will not have the
same level of access.
Any accessible carpark requirements should be based on
the number of dwellings and/or number of residents in any
given local area. It should not be based on current
requirements for accessible carparks.
The Parking Strategy must also be supported with
alternatives for people that work at different hours than the
availability of public transport (for example, night shifts) and
not applied as a ‘one size fits all’. Many in our community
work at night across Auckland as cleaners, caregivers etc. It
is simply not realistic to expect these people to fulfil their
commitments using the current public transport network.
A high percentage of low-income shift workers in Manurewa,
who rely on private vehicles to get to work throughout the
region, are subsidising regional transport infrastructure,
such as completion of the City Rail Link, infrastructure which
they are unlikely to ever use, through paying the fuel tax. To
require them to pay metered parking while working
exacerbates this inequity.

management
Regulation We do not want to see the introduction of parking meters in
(including pricing) the Manurewa and Clendon town centres. This would create
a significant disincentive for local customers, thereby
impacting local businesses.
We do support clear messaging about any parking changes,
and that any messaging effectively reaches our diverse
community members. We want to avoid a situation where
families are penalised unwittingly through lack of
knowledge, impacting on weekly budgets.

Park and Ride The board does not support charging for parking at park and
provision and ride venues in our local board area. The public transport
pricing network must offer effective links such as frequent feeder
services or specialised services such as on-demand ride
share services to our train station and transport hubs to
enable people to leave their cars at home. Until this happens,
as mentioned elsewhere, the board does not want to see its
community penalised for something outside of its control.
The priorities of the Parking Strategy should encourage
behavioural change over time, rather than focus on any
revenue gathering.
Minutes Page 8Manurewa Local Board
16 September 2021
The board suggests that if charges for parking at park and
rides needs to be implemented at some point, this should
start in the city and emanate out, taking a staggered
approach over time.
Compliance and Manurewa has an ongoing issue with large trucks parking in
enforcement residential streets overnight. This is causing unnecessary
safety issues around schools and for residents attempting to
leave their properties safely.
If any consideration is given to compliance and enforcement,
the board requests this issue be addressed as a means of
urgency through the review of the Parking Strategy.
Management of Housing developments are progressively forcing people to
on-street and off- park on local streets, laneways, footpaths and on berms.
street parking This is exacerbated by there being a lack of visitor parking.
In addition, local roads are becoming increasingly narrow.
This is having a compounding impact on our residents.
Our community is having to deal with the threat of car break-
ins and thefts, safety issues, accidents, lack of access by
emergency, delivery and utility vehicles, risks to children
playing, and creating barriers for people with access needs.
The board feels strongly that minimum road widths should
be reconsidered and widened, with these impacts in mind.
The board supports the idea of incentivising business
owners to cater for on-site staff carparking or provision of
alternative travel options for their staff. The board does not
support the idea of penalising businesses who are unable to
cater for the above.
The board does not support the introduction of parking
meters in the Manurewa and Clendon town centres as it
would create a significant disincentive for local customers
and impact local businesses.
Discussion and The board feels the Parking Strategy is framed in the context
direction on the of those who have access to a range of transport options
degree, extent and which is not the reality for many in Manurewa. Specifically,
timing of parking the options given in the slide do not address the diversity of
policy change (as communities in Tāmaki-Makaurau, varied levels of access to

workshop ability to cope with increased charges.
PowerPoint)
We would not support expansion of paid parking in areas of
high deprivation and limited public transport services. To do
so would unfairly target communities with the least ability to
adapt to the change (ie. absorb the additional charges) and
with no practical alternative option.
Expansion of paid parking areas and increases in prices
should be limited to communities that already have an
abundance of public transport options, including rapid
transport networks and active mode cycleways.
Minutes Page 9Manurewa Local Board
16 September 2021
Removal of carparks to further the development of a rapid
transport network would be supported. In particular,
communities in the west of Manurewa are geographically
isolated from the rapid transit network and an Airport-
Clendon-Manurewa rapid transit bus link would enable them
to enjoy the advantages and access that others in Tāmaki-
Makaurau have by virtue of where they live.
With respect to active mode transport, we see the change
coming in the form of projects such as the Māngere East and
Manukau Cycling Project and the Waka Kotahi Southern Path
Cycleway. These are both wonderful options north and south
of our local board area, but nothing as yet for the community
of Manurewa located in between.
The gaps in both the rapid public network and active mode
network must be addressed before carparking options are
removed, reduced or charges introduced.
Are there any The board notes its concern that we appear to be moving to
particular issues a model that will make the cost/logistics of car ownership
that aren’t prohibitive. We also note the potential consequences to
currently being communities who drive by necessity, not choice, because of
addressed current public transport inequality.

up our highest percentage of residents. Many in our
community have limited transport options, and/or face
financial hardship.
To provide everyone their fundamental right to access the
economic, cultural, and social fabric of Tāmaki Makaurau, it
is imperative that planning and funding of transport
connections such as an Airport-Clendon-Manurewa rapid
transit bus link and an effective and connected transport
network, is in place prior to the implementation of any
aspects of the revised Parking Strategy. Transport modes
need to be attractive and easy to use accommodating the
needs of all residents living in Manurewa.

development? transport options, active mode cycleways, pathways and
other networks is not reflected in suburbs such as
Manurewa.
Any changes that may become mandated in the Parking
Strategy should not be applied to communities with high
deprivation or limited public transport options until these
limitations are resolved. To do so would be inequitable.

Additional comments
While the Auckland Transport Parking Strategy does not cover the work being
undertaken on the National Policy Statement - Urban Development - removing
parking minimums, the board feels the two cannot operate independently of each
other. There are significant implications in both, and they need to be considered
in unison.

3. Equity – providing a service
that is accessible for
everyone regardless of
income and location
4. Climate change – has the
lowest impact on Auckland’s
greenhouse gas emissions
Do you agree with these priorities?
Comments on key priorities The board suggests that the following
priorities should also be taken into
consideration:
• Environmental impact, including the
impact of illegally dumped rubbish
contaminating waterways.
• Social impact, including:
o the effect of residents,
particularly children, seeing
large amounts of illegally
dumped waste in their
neighbourhoods (impact on
community pride)
o the impact on low-income
households, who have less
capacity to adapt to changes
in policy.
• Public health impacts from residents
who are unable to afford to dispose
of waste, storing it within their
property.
The board believes that the question of the
cost of this policy should be assessed
more broadly than just the direct costs to
council and the consumer in paying for the
service. Changes in charging mechanisms
also create additional costs such as the
costs of collecting illegally dumped waste
and cleaning up environmental
contamination from dumped waste.
During the current Auckland Covid-19
lockdown, we are noticing an increase in
the generation of waste due to families who
are at home all day, being unable to cope
with the size of the smaller red lid rubbish
bins and the fortnightly pick up of
recycling. This is particularly so for large
families. As well as any public health risk
this presents, it also compounds stress
levels for our community at this time. The
board recommends staff consider
identifying contingencies such as an
increase in the size of bins, and/or an
increase to service levels during lockdown
Minutes Page 14Manurewa Local Board
16 September 2021
periods and/or during any natural disaster,
to mitigate any increased waste generation.
Social and environmental costs, such as
those mentioned above, should be taken
into consideration in addition to financial
costs.
What is the most desirable aspect of The current system of paying for rubbish
the way your residents currently pay collections through rates is simple and
to have their rubbish collected? easy for residents. There is no need to
remember to purchase tags or to attach
them to bins for collection. There is also no
risk of tags to be stolen, damaged, lost or
otherwise removed from bins, resulting in
bins not being emptied.
The weekly frequency of rubbish
collections is necessary for, and
appreciated by, our community.
What is the least desirable aspect of There is a limited ability to cater for
the way your residents currently pay different household circumstances. With
to have their rubbish collected? the exception of a small variation in the size
of bin provided, the same service is
provided to households regardless of the
number of residents or age breakdown of
the household.
Even for households that are carrying out
best practice in waste reduction, there will
always be a significant difference in the
levels of waste being produced by, for
example, a young family with several small
children, and single person living alone.
The limitations that bin sizes place on
amounts of waste that can be collected
weekly is problematic for some
households. This has led to increased
amounts of waste being dumped illegally or
stored in residents’ homes.
The changes to the inorganic rubbish
collection that have reduced the amount of
waste that can be collected have also
exacerbated these issues. Many residents
find the booking system difficult to use,
and if they are successful in making a
booking, often only a portion of the rubbish
will be collected due to item eligibility or
exceeding total volume allowed.
Additional comments
• The board has previously opposed the introduction of the pay-as-you-throw
(PAYT) funding model for kerbside refuse collection in Manurewa.
Minutes Page 15Manurewa Local Board
16 September 2021
• The board supports undertaking a review of the current policy within the
Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2018 to expand the PAYT
funding model across the Auckland region.
• The board believes that the introduction of the PAYT funding model in
Manurewa would exacerbate the current issues with illegal dumping and
inability of residents to dispose of waste.
• The board requests that the current, rates-funded model be retained for
Manurewa, and that the traditional inorganic rubbish collection service, with
no requirement to book a collection date and no limitations on the amount
of waste to be collected, is restored.
• The board supports ongoing education on waste reduction to increase
residents’ capacity to make the best use of the recycling and (where it is
available) food scraps collection services. Waste reduction education
programmes have a focus on communities who have the lowest capacity to
adapt to changes in waste management policy, and should be regionally
funded. Local boards should not need to use their Locally Driven Initiatives
(LDI) funding to address the unintended consequences of regional policies.
We believe that the current waste minimisation plan has created a situation
where boards have had to pick up these costs.
• The board does not support reducing the frequency of household rubbish
collection services in Manurewa to fortnightly.
• The board believes that there is a need to provide residents with a range of
options for disposing of waste that recognise the diversity of needs
between households. These could include: access to local recycling
centres; periodically placing skips or bins in neighbourhoods to allow for
disposal of inorganic waste without the need to make a booking or place
limitations on the amount of waste that can be collected (similar to the ‘Neat
Streets’ programme); or other services.
