COMMUNITY BOARDS – FUNCTIONS AND DELEGATIONS
This document records the delegation of Council functions, responsibilities, duties, and
powers to Community Boards.
The Community Boards have been established under section 49 of the Local Government Act
2002 to represent, and act as an advocate for, the interests of their community.
The delegations are expressed in general terms. The delegations shall be exercised with
proper regard for the Council’s strategic direction, policies, plans, Standing Orders and its
interpretation of its statutory obligations. The delegations are to be read together with the
following propositions.
These delegations are based on the following principles:
Issues relevant to a specific community should be decided as closely as possible to that
community. Where an issue has city-wide implications, ie any effects of the decision
cross a ward or community boundary or have consequences for the city as a whole, the
matter will be decided by Council after seeking a recommendation from the relevant
Community Board or (any ambiguity around the interpretation of “city-wide” will be
determined by the Mayor and Chief Executive in consultation with the relevant Chair);
Efficient decision-making should be paramount;
Conflicts of interest should be avoided and risks minimised;
To ensure processes are free from bias and pre-determination Community Boards
should not adjudicate on issues on which they have advocated or wish to advocate to
Council;
Community Boards should proactively and constructively engage with residents on
local matters that affect the community they represent and raise with Council issues
raised with them by their community and advocate on behalf of their community.
These delegations:
(a) do not delegate any function, duty or power which a statute (for example section
53(3) and clause 32(1) of Schedule 7 of the Local Government Act 2002) prohibits
from being delegated;
(b) are subject to and do not affect any delegation which the Council has already made
or subsequently makes to any other committee, Council officer or other member of
staff;
(c) are subject to any other statutory requirements that may apply to a particular
delegation;
(d) are subject to any notice issued by the Council, from time to time, to a Community
Board that a particular issue must be referred to Council for decision;
(e) reflect that decisions with significant financial implications should be made by
Council (or a committee with delegated authority);
Page 3 of 39(f) promote centralisation of those functions where the appropriate expertise must be
ensured; and
(g) reflect that all statutory and legal requirements must be met.

Report no: PCB2018/4/214
Jackson Street - Proposed No Stopping At All
Times Restrictions
Purpose of Report
1. To recommend that Council approve the installation of the Proposed No
Stopping At All Times Restrictions outside 390 Jackson Street as shown
attached as Appendix 1 to the report.
Recommendations
That the Traffic Subcommittee recommends that Council approves the
installation of No Stopping At All Times restrictions on Jackson Street as shown
attached as Appendix 1 to the report.
For the reasons the proposed restriction will improve accessibility to the existing
bus stop and reduce the risk of vehicle conflict.
Background
2. A Councillor passed on a public request to Council’s Traffic Asset Manager
to investigate parking in the vicinity of the existing bus stop outside 390
Jackson Street, Petone.
3. The concern expressed is that when a car is parked immediately behind the
bus stop, buses are forced to enter the stop at a sharp angle to the kerb. This
can result in the westbound traffic lane being blocked, or cars having to
overtake on the flush median.
Discussion
4. The existing on road parking space is located outside number 390 Jackson
Street, between an existing bus stop and the intersection with Aurora Street.
5. The proposal involves the installation of No Stopping At All Times
Restrictions (broken yellow lines) extending from the bus stop to the hold
lines on Aurora Street as shown in Appendix 1. This would prevent vehicles
parking immediately preceding the bus stop.
DEM12-20-2 - 18/1388 - Jackson Street - Proposed No Stopping At All Times Page 17
Restrictions18 03 September 2018
6. The proposed restriction would result in the loss of one on street parking
space.
7. The proposed restriction would improve accessibility to the existing bus
stop, prevent buses blocking the westbound carriageway and reduce the
likelihood of vehicle conflict by reducing the occurrences of vehicles
overtaking on the flush median.
Options
8. The options are:
a. to leave the area as it is and accept the current level of service for
accessibility and road safety; or
b. improve accessibility and road safety by installing the proposed No
Stopping At All Times Restrictions.
Consultation
9. Consultation documents were delivered to the surrounding residences on
Jackson Street and Aurora Street on Friday 10 August 2018.
10. At the time of writing the report, the consultation period had not yet closed.
Any feedback that is received prior to the Petone Community Board and
Traffic Subcommittee meetings will be presented at those meetings for
consideration.
11. The Petone Community Board will consider the recommendation at its
meeting on 3 September 2018 and the resolution will be tabled at the Traffic
Subcommittee meeting on 10 September 2018.
Legal Considerations
12. These restrictions are made pursuant to the provisions of the Hutt City
Council Traffic Bylaw 2017.
Financial Considerations
13. These changes can be funded from Council’s 2018/2019 maintenance and
operations budget.
Other Considerations
14. In making this recommendation, officers have given careful consideration to
the purpose of local government in section 10 of the Local Government Act
2002. Officers believe that this recommendation falls within the purpose of
local government in that it improves road safety for the benefit of all road
users. It does this in a way that is cost-effective because it utilises standard
road markings and signage.

Report no: PCB2018/4/215
Bolton Street - Proposed Mobility Carpark
Relocation
Purpose of Report
1. The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval for the relocation of an
existing mobility carpark from Jackson Street to Bolton Street as shown
attached as Appendix 1 to the report.
Recommendations
That the Traffic Subcommittee recommends that Council approves the relocation
of the existing mobility carpark from Jackson Street to Bolton Street as shown
attached as Appendix 1 to the report.
For the reasons:
- The proposed location on Bolton Street is better suited to a mobility carpark
due to the extra space available and more level carriageway.
- These markings will also promote compliance with the New Zealand
Standard 4121:2001 Section 5 (Access and Mobility).
- It will support Council’s Parking Policy 2017.
Background
2. A disabled customer contacted Council requesting a mobility carpark be
installed at 303 Jackson Street, Petone (across the road from an existing
mobility park outside 328a Jackson Street).
3. The customer advised she considered the existing mobility carpark to be too
dangerous to access her vehicle due to the limited separation between the
parking space and the carriageway lane.
4. The customer also advised that the cross-fall between the driver’s door and
the kerb was quite steep and she had fallen in the past.
DEM12-20-2 - 18/1389 - Bolton Street - Proposed Mobility Carpark Relocation Page 2122 03 September 2018
Discussion
5. During the Traffic Engineer’s site visit, it was noted vehicles heading
towards SH2 (westbound) on Jackson Street cut the corner when turning into
Bolton Street. As the mobility carpark is the last carpark on Jackson Street
before the turn into Bolton Street, the close proximity of turning vehicles
adds to the difficulty for disabled drivers trying to access their vehicle.
6. It was also noted that the road cross-fall in the existing mobility carpark is
quite steep.
7. The drop kerb for someone utilising the current mobility carpark is located
in front of the parked vehicle. This means a disabled driver would have to
enter the live carriageway to access the drop kerb.
8. There are no businesses specific to the mobility carpark location and the
proposed relocation of the carpark would not affect the surrounding
businesses.
9. The existing mobility parking space and adjacent spaces have a P60 time
restriction. Once the mobility restriction is removed from the parking space,
it will be retained as a P60 parking space for all users.
Options
10. The three options are:
a. To leave the existing mobility carpark as it is and accept the current level
of service for accessibility and road safety.
b. Improve accessibility and user safety by installing a mobility carpark
across the road outside 295 Jackson Street as per the initial request. This
carpark allows better movement room outside the vehicle but is located
across the road from the existing carpark.
c. Improve accessibility and user safety by relocating a mobility carpark on
the Bolton Street side of 328 Jackson Street and installing a drop kerb in
front of the parked vehicle as per the Traffic Engineer’s recommendation
outlined in Attachment 1. This would be a closer relocation than Option
b. and provide greater movement room around the parked vehicle.
11. Based on the options above, from a safety perspective it is recommended
Option c. be installed as it improves the overall safety for disabled users due
to the available space surrounding the carpark, the proposed drop kerb and
flatter gradient to the adjacent footpath.
Consultation
12. Consultation documents were delivered to the surrounding businesses and
residences on Jackson Street and Bolton Street on Friday 10 August 2018.
13. At the time of writing the report, the consultation period had not yet closed.
Any feedback that is received prior to the Petone Community Board and
Traffic Subcommittee meetings will be presented at those meetings for
consideration.
DEM12-20-2 - 18/1389 - Bolton Street - Proposed Mobility Carpark Relocation Page 2223 03 September 2018
14. The Petone Community Board will consider the recommendation at its
meeting on 3 September 2018 and the resolution will be tabled at the Traffic
Subcommittee meeting on 10 September 2018.
Legal Considerations
15. These restrictions are made pursuant to the provisions of the Hutt City
Council Traffic Bylaw 2017.
Financial Considerations
16. These changes can be funded from Council’s 2018/2019 maintenance and
operations budget.
Other Considerations
17. In making this recommendation, officers have given careful consideration to
the purpose of local government in section 10 of the Local Government Act
2002. Officers believe that this recommendation falls within the purpose of
local government in that it improves safety for the benefit of all road users
and promotes compliance with the New Zealand Standard 4121:2001 Section
5 (Access and Mobility). It does this in a way that is cost-effective because it
utilises standard road markings and associated signage.

Report no: PCB2018/4/216
Bay Street - Proposed P30 Parking
Restrictions
Purpose of Report
1. The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s approval for the installation of
P30 parking restrictions on The Esplanade, as shown attached as Appendix 1
to the report.
Recommendations
That the Traffic Subcommittee recommends that Council approves the
installation of P30 parking restrictions over two existing car parks on The
Esplanade, as shown attached as Appendix 1 to the report.
For the reasons the proposed restrictions:
- would improve parking turnover and availability for local business
customers;
- support Council’s Parking Policy 2017; and
- are supported by the directly affected residents.
Background
2. Council received a request from Shoreline Café to improve parking
availability by installing P30 parking restrictions over two existing car parks
on The Esplanade.
3. The Esplanade has high daily traffic volumes and the local business is
located in a predominantly residential area.
4. The concern expressed is that customers intending to stop at the café are
discouraged from doing so due to the lack of available parking spaces.
5. The currently unrestricted parking spaces in the area are typically used by
local residents for the majority of the day, which prevents customers from
being able to find short-term parking spaces nearby.
DEM12-20-2 - 18/1393 - Bay Street - Proposed P30 Parking Restrictions Page 2526 03 September 2018
Discussion
6. Existing P30 parking is provided for around three to four vehicles
immediately outside the business on the corner of Bay Street and The
Esplanade.
7. The proposal involves installing P30 parking restrictions over two existing
car parks approximately 30m west of the café.
8. The installation of two P30 parking restrictions, as proposed, would improve
short-term parking availability in the area.
9. The Road-Space hierarchy in Council’s Parking Policy 2017 indicates a
similar level of priority for short term parking (ranked fifth) and residential
parking (ranked fourth) in Live and Play land use areas. In this regard, it is
considered that increasing the number of short term parking spaces supports
the Parking Policy.
10. The proposed changes are supported by the directly affected residents.
Options
11. The options are:
a. to leave the parking in the area as it is and accept the current level of
service for parking availability; or
b. install P30 parking restrictions over the two currently unrestricted
parking spaces to improve the parking availability level of service for
customers of local businesses.
Consultation
12. A plan of the proposal and petition form were forwarded to the manager of
Shoreline Café who consulted the three directly-affected properties at Nºs 1
and 3 Bay Street and Nº 143 The Esplanade.
13. All three consulted parties support the proposal.
14. The Petone Community Board will consider the recommendation at its
meeting on 3 September 2018 and the resolution will be tabled at the Traffic
Subcommittee meeting on 10 September 2018.
Legal Considerations
15. These restrictions are made pursuant to the provisions of the Hutt City
Council Traffic Bylaw 2017.
Financial Considerations
16. These changes can be funded from existing 2018/2019 road markings
budget.
Other Considerations
17. In making this recommendation, officers have given careful consideration to
the purpose of local government in section 10 of the Local Government Act
2002. Officers believe that this recommendation falls within the purpose of
local government in that it meets the current and future needs of the
community through cost effective performance of regulatory functions.

Chair, Petone Community Board
DEM12-20-2 - 18/1260 - Chairperson's Report Page 36Attachment 1 Chairperson’s Report – Petone Community Board – September 2018 Petone Community Board Chairperson’s Report – August 2018 Tena koutou katoa Talofa lava Malo e lelei Neih Hou Namaste Greetings to everyone who lives in our board area of Korokoro, Petone, Seaview, Moera, Waiwhetu South, Woburn South and Gracefield – called Petone for short. a) Petone Champions Our 3 September meeting will include the Mayor presenting our inaugural PCB Community Awards. Congratulations to our Petone 2018 Champions: Ange Holtslag (The Depot and Silver Circus), David and Betty Wilmshurst (Petone Community House), and Maki Parker and Hine Chase (HUCHS and Te Huinga o te Whanau), and thank you to the nominators. We will be making another three awards next year so start thinking of great people you might nominate in 2019. b) Community Emergency Response Planning Workshops These are being held on 28 August at Petone Central School and 29 August at Gracefield School and will enable useful community information to be captured and stored at our community emergency hubs – which are at primary schools in our board area. There will no doubt be follow up matters and then we are planning an emergency hub exercise at Wilford School – probably on 24 November. c) Future of Petone Wharf $8M has been allocated in 2033/34 for work on refurbishing the wharf. In the meantime maintenance money will be spent on eg, replacing the worst piles and getting the little blue shed back. We will keep the community up to date on this as we get any further information. d) Neighbourhood Support Group/s A meeting with Lesley Davies from HCC about her role as HCC Neighbourhood Support Coordinator has made us aware that there are not many Neighbourhood Support Groups in Petone and only two in Moera. Having hopefully both Lesley and our community constable/s at our community emergency response workshops could work to further the development of more neighbourhood support groups. e) Petone Developments and Traffic NZTA have provided an update about the Petone 2 Grenada possibility: http://createsend.com/t/t-461CB5A1F572F1E0 It is being very much reassessed. Palmers Garden Centre has opened in Victoria Street with some initial concern about sightlines and traffic exits but no reports yet of major traffic effects. The “pink paint job” on the ex Briscoes building has caused greater amounts of feedback. It is unfortunate that the Petone West area has only seen such developments when Plan Change 29 was about a mixed use area that would include residential development – with HCC meant to help this happen through eg, good use of development contributions. f) Petone 2040 A working group of the P2040 lead Councillor, the JSP Chair, the PCB Chair plus the JSP Coordinator, with support from the HCC Urban Design Manager, has been established to get a pilot project of work on some Jackson Street buildings off the ground, illustrating to other building owners and businesses what can be achieved to better hero the buildings themselves. DEM12-20-2 - 18/1260 - Chairperson's Report Page 37
Attachment 1 Chairperson’s Report – Petone Community Board – September 2018 g) Significant Natural Areas We understand residents in Korokoro have had a useful meeting with Council officers about the possibility of identifying and protecting some significant natural areas, and that some site visits are being undertaken. I attended a meeting that seemed to be made up 95% of people from other parts of the Hutt who wanted to raise their concerns. Our understanding is that HCC is required to go through the SNA process and that other Councils, such as Kapiti, have already done so. HCC seems to be already offering more than other Councils to property owners, and a Plan Change hasn’t even been proposed yet. In regard to Petone beach, feedback from the Divisional Manager District Plan is that: “Hutt City Council’s jurisdiction under the Resource Management Act ends at the line of Mean High Water Spring. Seaward of that is the responsibility of the Greater Wellington Regional Council. HCC will be discussing with GWRC how best to set up a sensible management regime that deals with coastal natural character and indigenous biodiversity without constraining other appropriate activities and uses. Petone Community Board will have the opportunity to comment on that in due course.” h) Community Engagement Fund The next round is open for applications from 3 September to 5 October – with decisions regarding grants made by 15 November. Any group who is planning to run or hold something involving their community should consider applying. i) The Grandstand on Petone Rec Officers are engaging with Petone Recreation Ground users, the Petone Community Board and Petone 2040 before reporting back to the City Development Committee in November with options. Work done in 2014 means that the Grandstand is 34% of the National Building Standard - just above the minimum legal threshold. What should be done next is the big question. Any feedback is very welcome. We will have a video that will include visuals of some options up on our Facebook page soon. j) Public transport under PTOM model as contracted by GWRC Initially there were reports of a lot of late buses and examples of buses in unusual and not bus route places. According to regional council feedback the colour of the buses is actually restricted because of health and safety requirements, and most passengers seem to quite like the slogans, if in fact they notice them at all. Now the focus is on things such as the size of the bus that goes up the Korokoro route and the types of bus being used as eg, people with disabilities find it really hard to have to stand up to get to the stop button. We know that the Airport Flyer is now a commercial service and not part of the services run by GWRC – because NZ Bus didn’t re-win the contract – and that NZ Bus now sets the fare and decides whether or not to have Snapper as a payment method on the Flyer. However, people see this as a fallout result of the re-letting of the contract by GWRC and also want to know how all of this is encouraging increased use of public transport. MP Chris Bishop has an online survey happening and there is a workshop being run at the Petone Rugby Club rooms on Udy Street from 7pm on 11 September by Cr Campbell Barry and MP Ginny Andersen. k) Ava Station overbridge The re-opening of the Ava railway station ramp has been delayed from March initially until September – leaving wheelchair and pram users without access to the station since the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake.

Attachment 1 Chairperson’s Report – Petone Community Board – September 2018 l) Hutt Valley and Wellington Whaitua Committee The Hutt Valley-Wellington Whaitua Committee, will be a group of local people tasked with researching and recommending tailored solutions for water issues in the catchment. Applications are open for community membership of the Committee, and anyone interested in the process can check on the GWRC website or email whaitua@gw.govt.nz for more but they close on 4 September 2018. m) Hutt Union & Community Health Service Due to a temporary doctor shortage HUCHS will not be providing doctor or acute services from their Petone clinic from 1 September. They apologise for any inconvenience and hope to restore all services to HUCHS Petone in the future. n) Annual Board tour Our board tour around the area will happen on 13 October or 3 November this year rather than in February 2019 – to fit in with any HCC annual plan suggestions we might want to make. Suggestions of anything that people want us to be aware of or check out are welcome – please get in touch with any ideas. o) HCC Representation Review In our view HCC has undertaken a Representation Review that ostensibly started from a mistaken premise. There also seems to have been some bias against community boards even though survey feedback illustrated a definite preference for this type of elected second tier representation and the possibility of community boards across the city. We will be making a submission about the importance of elected representation and democracy that is based on opportunities to build citizenship and real local engagement and consultation opportunities. The Petone Community Board has, for example, advertised on its Facebook page at least 34 events, shared 24 videos, gained 700 followers and has an average reach of 500 for any post of a photo, video or plain text. The more popular posts have regularly reached between 3000 – 5000 people. One video reached over 13,000. We also have a following on our twitter accounts, and a mailing list of parties that have interacted with the Board. These avenues give us a really good platform to source feedback as well as share information. If you want to have your say about how Council is elected and the existence of community boards you can let HCC know by email to submissions@huttcity.govt.nz until 5pm on 3 September. Don’t hesitate to be in touch with any queries. o) Lighting on Esplanade Buildings We have asked officers to look at having lighting installed on the rear of the Settlers Museum and any other building on the Esplanade without lighting on the seaward side. https://www.facebook.com/pcbhcc/ is the link to our Facebook page and sign up for our emails via http://eepurl.com/cq33Zj.
