My name is Robert Mark Bellingham. I am a Senior Planner and Senior Ecologist with Terra Nova Planning Ltd. 2. I hold a PhD in Planning from Auckland University and I am a full member of the New Zealand Planning Institute. I have been a practicing planning and ecological consultant for over 25 years. I have also lectured in Environmental Planning at Auckland and Massey Universities. I have served on the Ministerial Advisory Committees for the Review of Protected Area Legislation (1989-90) Oceans Policy (2002-4), and as an Auckland Regional Councillor. 3. I have read and agree to comply with the Environment Court’s Expert Witness Code of Conduct (Consolidated Practice Note 2006). This evidence is within my area of expertise, except where I state that I am relying on some other evidence. I have not omitted to consider material facts known to me that might alter or detract from the opinions expressed. TOPIC 011 RPS RURAL EVIDENCE OF Dr Mark Bellingham DECEMBER 2014 SUMMARY STATEMENT 4. The Terra Nova Planning & Grant Oliff support the Federated Farmers Of NZ Inc. submission point (p.4, 2.2.1, bullet point 1) and submission point 3.29, in relation to rural subdivision in section 8 RPS Rural of the PAUP. 5. Mr Oliff owns land at 486 Waitoki Road, Wainui, which is identified in the Rural Hamlet Policy Area of the Auckland District Plan: Rodney Section. 6. Rural land makes up about 90% of the terrestrial area of the region, but most of the high productivity soils are in the south of Auckland. 7. Urban expansion has been the main driver for the loss of elite and prime soils from production in Auckland and this is continuing in the PAUP with the zoning of these areas in urban zones. 8. The Auckland Plan only proposed restrictions on rural subdivision in the Islands, Rural Coastal and Rural Production Zones. 9. The PAUP RPS Objective 8.1.3 seeks to protect rural areas from “inappropriate subdivision, urban use and development” and that is supported. 10. RPS Objective 8.3.2 seeks to prevent rural lifestyle subdivision over all zones, and in doing so precluding rural hamlets and appropriate subdivision in rural areas, including rural villages and this is in conflict with Chapter 8 of the Auckland Plan and with the PAUP Rural Objectives: 8.1.3, 8.2.1 and 8.3.1, all of which contemplate appropriate rural subdivision rather than a prohibition. 11. The PAUP, Section 32 report, and appendices provide no basis for countryside living threatening biodiversity and a weak case for a threat to productive soils. 12. Countryside living subdivision has been a significant tool in conserving biodiversity in the Auckland region in the past 30 years and primary production has been the main cause of biodiversity decline. TOPIC 011 RPS RURAL EVIDENCE OF Dr Mark Bellingham DECEMBER 2014 DOES RURAL SUBDIVISION THREATEN RURAL PRODUCTIVITY AND BIODIVERSITY? 13. Rural land makes up about 90% of the terrestrial area of the region, but very little has high productivity and this is mainly in the south of the region (Manukau-Papakura– Franklin) (S.32 Report, 2.35 – Rural Subdivision 1.6.1 “Most of the most productive land (elite and prime land, LUC classes 1-3 incl.) in greater Auckland is located in one consolidated area in the south, and almost all the LUC class 1 land in greater Auckland (and most of the LUC class 1 land in New Zealand) is located there.” 14. Council’s s.32 report, Appendix 3.35.4 (Rural Production Comparative Analysis Greenfield Study Areas – by Primary Focus) also shows that the more productive soils in south Auckland have 6 times the economic turnover and employment capacity of less productive soils in the north of the region. 15. Urban sprawl is the main threat to Auckland’s primary production capacity and this is well documented in Dr Curren-Cournane’s evidence and her technical report (Auckland Council Technical Report 2013/0501). 16. Consistent with this, rural subdivision and consents for dwellings are concentrated around Pukekohe, Waiuku, Beachlands-Maraetai in the south, and Warkworth-Snells Beach, Omaha, Waimauku, Huapai-Kumeu, Riverhead, Dairy Flat and Paremoremo in the north (Attachment 1 - Figure 9.2 Auckland Plan 2012). Many of these areas are now in the new Future Urban Zones or urban zones (at the edge of the MUL) in the PAUP. 17. I consider that the change in planning approach of identifying a 30 year window of future urban development will address most of this peri-urban development for quite 1 1 Curran-Cournane, F Vaughan, M Memon A and Fredrickson C (2013) Auckland’s elite and prime land: similar messages and continued trade-offs 54 years later. RIMU, Auckland Council. Technical report TR2013/050 TOPIC 011 RPS RURAL EVIDENCE OF Dr Mark Bellingham DECEMBER 2014 some time. Much of the “urban creep” into rural areas in the Auckland region over the past decade may have been driven by the MUL. 18. On the issue of rural subdivision for countryside living threatening biodiversity; the only long-term research into biodiversity loss in rural areas in the Auckland Region has been my PhD research. I measured the change in indigenous vegetation at 780 forest areas in Rodney and I found that agriculture was consistently the major contributor to biodiversity loss over a 15 year period. Agriculture accounted for clearance of all or part of 239 (15%) of these forest areas, or 78% of the indigenous forest clearance recorded. From my observations this has continued but at a slower rate since the early 2000s. 16% 15.03% 12% 98 - 8% cleared 1983 cleared 4% 3.28% Indigenous vegetation Indigenous 0.83% 0.13% 0.07% 0.01% 0% pastoral plantation urban firewood lot sewage golf course farming forestry plant Land use after forest clearance (n=780) 19. In contrast, countryside living in the former Rodney District and rural Waitakere City has been a significant contributor to biodiversity conservation and restoration of a significant area of indigenous forests and wetlands. This active conservation contribution by private landowners and incentivised by council, has balanced some of TOPIC 011 RPS RURAL EVIDENCE OF Dr Mark Bellingham DECEMBER 2014 the biodiversity losses from primary production and urban expansion in these districts. In Waitakere this has been through Reserve Act covenants and consent conditions. 20. The matters raised by Dr Seabrook-Davison in his evidence are almost entirely matters of a failure by councils to properly monitor the outcomes of their district plans, and I documented these council failures in Rodney and Waitakere in my PhD thesis. I did not find a failure with the plan mechanisms. 21. Dr Seabrook-Davison’s evidence refers to a report he prepared looking at 31 covenants in Puhoi and the level of covenant compliance2. I consider that his study is flawed on a number of grounds; firstly he sampled only 31 covenants of a total of 4,161 in Rodney (and another 1,444 similar covenants in Franklin) in one locality, rather than a random selection across the district or region. Secondly the higher non-compliance in the later Rodney covenants appears to relate to the council possibly granting consent for non- qualifying areas and a significant reduction in covenant monitoring in the past decade. In the 1990’s and early 2000’s a part-time officer inspected every covenant every three years along with any compliance complaints. I consider that this level of landowner engagement by the council led to the high level of covenant compliance that I am familiar with over most of the district. 22. The recommendations in Dr Seabrook-Davison’s report were to improve council processes and have a more collaborative process between council and landowners, and I agree with those. The issues identified in evidence (5.11-24) are all matters relating to the ability or inability of council to administer and resource the district plan. Dr Seabrook-Davison’s para. 5.17 about staff being over-whelmed by the uptake of covenants demonstrates that rural subdivision incentives for protecting biodiversity have been successful and have been an important tool for slowing biodiversity decline in Rodney. 2 M Seabrook-Davison 2011 Review of regulatory incentives for waivers on restrictions of rural land subdivision. Draft 4, Auckland Council. TOPIC 011 RPS RURAL EVIDENCE OF Dr Mark Bellingham DECEMBER 2014 23. The wide-scale application of these covenants (Attachment 2 - Figure I Seabrook- Davison 2011) shows their importance as a biodiversity conservation tool as there is very little biodiversity protected on Crown reserves or regional parks across Rodney. The contrast can be seen in Kaipara District which has had until recently rather weak regulatory controls and no incentive programmes for biodiversity conservation; there all of the previous district plan SNAs has been cleared to some extent from 1997-2011 and many had completely disappeared. 24. I consider the objectives and policies in B.8.3 will have no effect on the administrative and resourcing matters raised by Dr Seabrook-Davison in his evidence and his 2011 review of biodiversity incentives programmes in Auckland region. I consider that his conclusion 7.2 is wrong, as RPS objectives and policies are far removed from the implementation and administration of district rules. 25.

    243 SECTION 6: About Rodney District LTCCP 2009 - 2019 About Rodney District Volume 1 About Rodney District Council Rodney District was constituted as part of the 1989 local government reform, which resulted in the amalgamation of the former Helensville Borough with the former Rodney County. Rodney District appears to have taken its name from Cape Rodney, a headland at the north of the curve of Omaha Bay, 2 kilometres north-east of Leigh on the east coast of the district. The cape was named by Captain James Cook, on 24 November 1769, after the British admiral Sir George Bridges Rodney (1719-92). The district covers an area of 2,475 square kilometres and it had a population of 89,200 in 2006 (2006 census – Statistics New Zealand). Rodney District’s neighbours are Waitakere City in the west, North Shore City in the south and Kaipara District in the north. It comprises four wards: Western Ward – the south-western part of the district including the communities of Helensville and Kumeu/Huapai as well as the smaller settlements of Riverhead and Waimauku. Central Ward – the central Rodney area contains the communities of Coatesville and Waitoki. Eastern Ward – the Hibiscus Coast including the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, Orewa and Silverdale. Northern Ward – the northern part of the district, including the Warkworth, Wellsford and Snells Beach/Algies Bay communities and a number of smaller coastal and inland settlements. 244 The purpose of the Rodney District Council is to enable democratic local decision-making to promote the social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of the district now and for the future.

  • Reinvigorating Local Democracy: NAG Submission to the LGNZ Discussion Paper Introduction
    NORTHERN ACTION GROUP INC. Reinvigorating Local Democracy: NAG submission to the LGNZ Localism paper November 2019 “Campaigning to get Democracy for the people of North Rodney”Page 1 of 16 Reinvigorating local democracy: NAG submission to the LGNZ Discussion paper Introduction The Northern Action Group Inc. (NAG) is pleased to make a submission to LGNZ on the important topic of localism. Founded in 2009 to represent the people of North Rodney in the pursuit of better local governance, the Northern Action Group has had a long history, and much frustration, in dealing with the drive for centralisation, amalgamation, and reduction in local representation and provision of local services, that has been the hallmark of governments in New Zealand for many decades. Principles of local government In his 2006 paper Peter Watt1 discusses the principles and theories of local government and concludes that: “ the key function of local government is in the provision of local public goods matched as closely as possible to local tastes and preferences.”… “Ideally local authorities should be established so the local residents oppose pay for and devote to decide on the local public goods they receive. Such a system provides clear local accountability and avoids the need for central control and the information problems it is likely to involve.”… “a high dependency on central grants (…….) leads to a number of problems, including attempts at central micromanagement and excessive strain on the grant system.” According to the principle of subsidiarity2: “The governing body should only intervene with the local community and its constituent parts, including his organisations and citizens, cannot meet their needs by themselves.” 1 2006 :Peter Watt: Principles and theories of local government: Institute of Economic Affairs; Blackwell publishing; Oxford.

  • RDC Long Term Council Community Plan 2009
    39 SECTION 3: Rodney Tomorrow LTCCP 2009 - 2019 Rodney Tomorrow Volume 1 Rodney’s Community Outcomes Vision Rodney is the map for the future of Rodney District over the next 20 to 30 years – it describes the outcomes Rodney’s communities value and desire for their district. The fi rst Vision Rodney was developed and adopted in July 2003. It was created through people discussing the future of the district, what they thought the vision should be, and what they saw as important for the future. Vision Rodney was reviewed in 2008 to refl ect the current views of the people and communities of Rodney and is an up-to-date description of the desired future. The process for reviewing Vision Rodney again involved people discussing what they thought was important for the future of the district. Vision Rodney is a strategic vision of and for local communities and is used as the strategic framework for the Council. The Council will assist the communities of Rodney to achieve the outcomes in Vision Rodney whenever possible, and will use them as the basis for partnerships that the Council will enter into with and on behalf of Rodney’s communities. In this section you will fi nd more information about: • Rodney’s fi rst community outcomes • progress towards achieving the fi rst outcomes 40 • how we identifi ed the revised community outcomes • the revised community outcomes • how the Council will respond – partnering initiatives • how community outcomes relate to other strategic planning documents • how we will measure progress. Rodney’s fi rst community outcomes Rodney’s fi rst community outcomes were developed through wide-ranging community consultation which identifi ed six things that the community intended to see happen.
