1 WHAT HAPPENS AT A HEARING At the start of the hearing, the Chairperson will introduce the commissioners and council staff and will briefly outline the procedure. The Chairperson may then call upon the parties present to introduce themselves to the panel. The Chairperson is addressed as Mr Chairman or Madam Chair.
Any party intending to give written or spoken evidence in Māori or speak in sign language should advise the hearings advisor at least five working days before the hearing so that a qualified interpreter can be provided.
Catering is not provided at the hearing. Please note that the hearing may be audio recorded.
Scheduling submitters to be heard
A timetable will be prepared approximately one week before the hearing for all submitters who have returned their hearing attendance form. Please note that during the course of the hearing changing circumstances may mean the proposed timetable is delayed or brought forward. Submitters wishing to be heard are requested to ensure they are available to attend the hearing and present their evidence when required. The hearings advisor will advise submitters of any changes to the timetable at the earliest possible opportunity.
The Hearing Procedure
The usual hearing procedure is: • The applicant will be called upon to present his/her case. The applicant may be represented by legal counsel or consultants and may call witnesses in support of the application. After the applicant has presented his/her case, members of the hearing panel may ask questions to clarify the information presented. • The relevant local board may wish to present comments. These comments do not constitute a submission however the Local Government Act allows the local board to make the interests and preferences of the people in its area known to the hearing panel. If present, the local board will speak between the applicant and any submitters. • Submitters (for and against the application) are then called upon to speak. Submitters may also be represented by legal counsel or consultants and may call witnesses on their behalf. The hearing panel may then question each speaker. The council officer’s report will identify any submissions received outside of the submission period. At the hearing, late submitters may be asked to address the panel on why their submission should be accepted. Late submitters can speak only if the hearing panel accepts the late submission. • Should you wish to present written information (evidence) in support of your application or your submission please ensure you provide the number of copies indicated in the notification letter. • Only members of the hearing panel can ask questions about submissions or evidence. Attendees may suggest questions for the panel to ask but it does not have to ask them. No cross-examination - either by the applicant or by those who have lodged submissions – is permitted at the hearing. • After the applicant and submitters have presented their cases, the chairperson may call upon council officers to comment on any matters of fact or clarification. • When those who have lodged submissions and wish to be heard have completed their presentations, the applicant or his/her representative has the right to summarise the application and reply to matters raised by submitters. Hearing panel members may further question the applicant at this stage. • The chairperson then generally closes the hearing and the applicant, submitters and their representatives leave the room. The hearing panel will then deliberate “in committee” and make its decision. • Decisions are usually available within 15 working days of the hearing.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: I speak for all harbour users that any further intrusion into the Waitemata Harbour by POAL is unacceptable. There is no acceptable solution to this. We have a narrow harbour with limited capacity for both commerical and pleasure vessels. I have visited numerous citys worldwide where cruise ships have to be serviced by tenders. It would seem an extraodinary step to take a 90 meter extension into the harbour for 22 days of ship visits. So for 343 days of the year this is an eyesore, a hazard to navigation and has an impact on marine life locally and throughout the harbour and upper harbour areas. Equally a fleet of tenders would likely cost less, create jobs and maintain the ability of the ships
1 13 to come here. There can be no logical economic argument that can support such a level of destruction of what we have left of the harbour.
What are the reasons for your submission? I have actively opposed every application by the ports to expand into the harbour. I have used the harbour recreationally for over 50 years and have seen the impact the port has on our marine environment. The port needs to get smaller and move to more suitable locations and not attempt to expand into the harbour - ever!
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Reject the proposal entirely.
Are you a trade competitor of the applicant? I am not a trade competitor of the applicant.
Do you want to attend a hearing and speak in support of your submission? No
If other people make a similar submission I will consider making a joint case with them at the hearing: Yes

1 15 Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The proposal to extend mooring dolphins 85 metres off Queens Wharf into the Waitemata
What are the reasons for your submission? I objected to Ports of Auckland extending a wharf 85 metres into the Waitemata and joined a huge throng of like minded protesters later witnessing the successful case against in the High Court. I see the mooring dolphins as no different in principle as an intrusion into the harbour. It is also arguable that the financial benefits claimed from berthing gigantic ships there have been talked up to justify the scheme.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? I believe there has to be a size limit to ships that can berth at existing wharves and those oversize vessels should moor offshore and be prepared to ferry passengers ashore in water taxis. I understand this to be not uncommon at ports overseas and Auckland should follow this lead rather than compromise our water space for an occasional monster ship.

1 22 Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: vessel safety, usability of the harbour for recreation, cost vs benefit to Aucklander's especially given current financial pressure on the council, reduced space for harbour traffic which increases the risk for vessel collisions & boat strike on killer whales and dolphins visiting the harbour.
What are the reasons for your submission? Once you fill in the harbour it's very hard to get it back I am opposed to any further reclamation of the harbour for this reason. I do not think it is required long term as the port will get pushed out and cruise ships will be able to berth there. There are plenty of places in the world where cruise ships park and ferry passengers to shore why do we have to cave to big overseas companies because it costs them money? Auckland council is already under financial pressure and I have doubts this would have wide spread benefits to Aucklander's to justify the costs. The dolphins and connecting ramps themselves pose a hazard to recreational boaties, affect the tide strength and will only be used 50% of the year. That particular part of the harbour doesn't have anywhere to get out of the tide so this will just make the effects felt even more. It is already difficult sailing up and down the harbour against the tide and sailing is one of the historical foundations of Auckland and should be protected & encouraged not constantly put under pressure. The other thing I am concerned about it this will concentrate the habour traffic further which means greater risk for collision among boats and of boats colliding with visiting whales and dolphins which are regular visitors up the harbour. It is already like a washing machine on long weekends with boat wash
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? firstly not to do it at all, at very least use the removable dolphins so the harbour isn't restricted when the big ships aren't visiting

2 25 SUBMISSION ON PUBLICLY NOTIFIED APPLICATION CONCERNING RESOURCE CONSENT
TO: AUCKLAND COUNCIL
Name of submitter: AUCKLAND YACHTING & BOATING ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED
1. This is a submission on an application from PANUKU DEVELOPMENT AUCKLAND for a resource consent for upgrades to Queens Wharf to provide for safe berthing of cruise ships up to 362m – application number CST 60323353 (Application).
2. The Auckland Yachting & Boating Association Incorporated (AYBA) is not a competitor for the purposes of section 308B of the Resource Management Act 1991(RMA).
3. This submission relates to the entire Application.
4. AYBA opposes the Application.
5. The reasons for the AYBA’s opposition are as follows:
(a) The Application does not represent a sustainable management of natural and physical resources and is inconsistent with Part 2 of the RMA;
(b) The Application creates potential adverse effects that cannot be avoided remedied and/or mitigated and will not allow people and communities to provide for their social, economic and cultural wellbeing;
(c) Without limiting the generality of the above:
i. AYBA has a membership of approximately 10,000;
ii. The Members own boats of all shapes and sizes and who actively use the Waitemata harbour and the area where the mooring dolphins are proposed to be located;
iii. Allowing the mooring dolphins to be established in this location will significantly reduce the area of the harbour available for use by thousands of recreational boating enthusiasts not just AYBA members and in particular, this will restrict the flow of traffic in an already very busy waterway including ferry traffic;
26 iv. The mooring dolphins are required for a specific category of cruise ships estimated to visit 14 times per annum. For the remaining 350 days, the mooring dolphins would not be required;
v. The Council has only rejected the use of Captain Cook wharf due to funding, yet the use of that wharf is a superior solution to the use of mooring dolphins at Queens Wharf;
vi. Alternatively, mooring dolphins could be constructed for use at Captain Cook wharf without impeding the pathway of boats as significantly;
vii. There is no reasonable explanation why ships that are 362m long, cannot berth at Queens wharf which is 350m long;
viii. No other solutions appear to have been considered to allow 362m ships to berth at Queens Wharf;
ix. This is an important issue given that the harbour has been progressively filled in, and with the narrowing, tidal flows have greatly increased, and the useable area reduced. Allowing the Application will narrow the harbour by a further 100m;
x. This in turn will affect safe navigation in this part of the of the harbour;
xi. There is also a 5kt speed limit on the harbour within 200m of any “structure” and so this limit would extend into the harbour by a further 100m and will affect ferry schedules;
xii. The analysis of the consequences of this further restriction is poor – if the 5kt zone (some boats only achieve 6kts particularly into the wind against the tide) is extended towards the main channel area there will be conflict and safety issues with faster boats in the 12kt zone area;
xiii. While the mooring dolphins may “solve” some issues for cruise ships on the rare occasions they will even be used (about 4% of the year), they create other problems for regular and heavy users of the harbour over the rest of the year, that have not been properly considered and no solution to avoid, mitigate or remedy those effects has been proposed.
6. AYBA wants the Auckland Council to decline the Application.
27 7. In the event that the Application is approved, AYBA reserves the right to propose conditions on such approval.
8. AYBA wishes to be heard in opposition to this submission.
9. If others make a similar submission AYBA will consider presenting a joint case with them at the hearing.

Submission details
This submission: supports the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: • Submission is in support of proposed infrastructure upgrades to Queens Wharf to enable the berthing of cruise ships up to the 362m Oasis Class vessels including proposed infrastructure upgrades required to accomplish this including: o The construction of two new mooring dolphins centred at 49 and 82m north of the northern end of Queens Wharf, with associated fendering, bollards, bull rails and capstan on each mooring dolphin; o Strengthening of the southern end of Queens Wharf; o Seven new additional wharf bollards on the eastern side at the southern end of Queens Wharf; and o Additional fender cluster on the eastern side at the chainages 90m and 290m of Queens Wharf.
What are the reasons for your submission? • ID Tours New Zealand Ltd. (IDNZ) is a Medium sized company with approximately 80% of our business based in the 1 35 inbound cruise sector. As such not being able to berth vessels alongside in Auckland that are larger than 330m, affecting both our clients and ourselves and all the staff we employ negatively and as such we would be happy to offer our support for the proposed mooring dolphins and the infrastructure required to make this happen in Auckland. • IDNZ considers that any adverse environmental effects of the application are minor and that, if the application were granted, there would be a range of significant positive effects, in particular positive economic benefits for Auckland and New Zealand. • IDNZ has reviewed the supporting documentation provided by the applicant. It is well detailed and thorough. By all accounts the applicant’s experts have demonstrated in a thorough manner that the environmental effects of placing the mooring dolphin structures adjacent to Queens Wharf are minor and can be addressed by appropriate conditions. • Cruise Vessels are not getting any smaller, Auckland is already turning business away because it has not kept up with the requirements to berth these sized vessels and at this stage Auckland cannot accommodate vessels alongside any current cruise wharf if the vessel is longer than 330m. • Auckland is known as the gateway port to New Zealand for cruise vessels that are looking to do full passenger exchanges based on the infrastructure that is currently available locally. Part of the reason for this is Auckland Airport which plays a pivotal role in this being the International / domestic Airport offering the largest number of flight options. • Should the option to be alongside a wharf not be available for vessels longer than 330m that are looking to do full exchanges or storing / bunkering of any kind in Auckland cruise lines will opt to NOT sail around NZ. This negatively affecting not only Auckland Tourism but New Zealand as a whole. There are many business and organisations that rely on the cruise sector for financial income and should business like this start disappearing from NZ to other destinations it will have a negative effect on NZ Tourism as a whole. • Auckland has already seen a ship exclude this port of call completely due to the port not being able to berth the vessel size. This was the planned call for the Queen Mary 2 when they cancelled their call to Auckland on the 5 March 2018. This not only saw the ship spend two days in Tauranga it meant that all the guests that were disembarking had to travel by coach from Tauranga to Auckland before joining their flights back to their home country. This actually left these guest with a less than optimal experience of New Zealand and a number of additional costs that had to be reimbursed by the cruise line due to the lack of suitable cruise berthing. • Australia is currently battling to accommodate all the berthing requests for vessels into ports like Sydney and now is the opportunity for New Zealand. Should we be able to offer alternative berthing in a port Like Auckland (by Building the proposed mooring Dolphins etc.) that offers not only an abundance of hotel options but an airport that can offer very positive options to international and local travellers alike. This will positively affect the entire country by offering vessels an option that would increase cruise traffic within our country and our region. Bringing about a cash boost to all services that are involved in this fast growing industry. • If Oasis class vessels can berth in Auckland with the provision of the mooring Dolphins and they perform full passenger exchanges, Auckland with see more than 200 people involved with this for a single ship on one day. For Full exchanges like this IDNZ employs a large contingent of casual staff to assist with operations running smoothly. Offering both additional job opportunities and income that would otherwise not have been available. • Many other ports in NZ can handle vessels larger than 330m (Oasis Class) (eg. Picton / Tauranga etc) and with this not being possible in Auckland this is affecting cruise lines decisions to cruise within New Zealand. Ports like Lyttleton are already looking at 2020 when they will be able to accommodate vessels of this class ensuring they have a future proof infrastructure in place after the earthquake damage. • Oasis Class vessels being able to berth alongside in Auckland will have a very positive effect on all the surrounding business within the downtown area as a vessel of this size usually delivers in Excess of 5000 guests as well as an additional couple of thousand crew members that proceed ashore and make use of all the local amenities, business etc. This spend offers a major cash boost to any port that a vessel like this offers. • In Closing: Cruise Ships are moving assets and as such it is vitally important for Auckland to be able to cater to them irrespective of their size as this is an extremely competitive market and should Auckland/NZ not be able to provide the berthing that cruise lines require New Zealand will end up losing out, with these big ships going to ports like Sydney which will end up being a significant blow to the economy as well as the New Zealand Cruise industry. • ID Tours New Zealand Ltd. wishes to be heard in support of its submission.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? • The decision ID Tours New Zealand Ltd. would like council to make is to grant the application.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: This attempt to disguise wharf extensions and necessary ‘upgrades’ is appalling and no extension should be done intruding into the Auckland harbour.
What are the reasons for your submission? I believe the benefits of maintaining the current wharf outweigh the financial benefits of extending the wharf which will only be benefiting the companies involved not the public.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Do not allow any extension and nullify any attempt to allow ‘upgrades’ to take place that jeapordise the ability to prevent any wharf extensions in the future.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The encroachment into the already narrow Harbour space.
What are the reasons for your submission? This extension has the same problems of altering the water flow in the narrow harbour that the extension proposal for the Bledisloe Wharf had. The Harbour is a major recreational facility and is firstly and finally for the use of Aucklanders. if you've even seen the chaos and intrusion that the huge and many cruise ships have in the Mediterranean you know this is not what Aucklanders want for this space. If we have to fight this like Bledisloe then Aucklanders will come out in droves.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? To not grant any extension to wharves for larger or more cruise ships.

What are the reasons for your submission? Hi Just wanted to say that as just a member of the public living in Auckland all of my friends and I are in full support of the dolphins at Queens wharf we find it strange that eveyone we know thinks this should happen but we keep getting told the people of Auckland don't want it,that is just not true.It will be wonderful for our city to have the large cruise ships in town BRINGING JOBS AND MONEY to our city and we are getting a little tired of people like stop stealing our harbour and other groups speaking on our behalf,this is once again a case of the few with the loudest voice trying to rule. Please make this project for Queens wharf happen. Geoff

What are the reasons for your submission? There is a cruise terminal at captains Cook Wharf and operations should be restricted to the terminal with any upgrades required performed at that terminal. The extension of commercial operations in the Harbour impacts the enjoyments of Auckland citizens, their access to the Wharf and their Harbour, both in terms of access to the waterfront, enjoyment on the water and visual impairment.

1 45 This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: I oppose the application to extend any wharf in Waitemata Harbour, and therefore oppose all aspects of this application which will see the wharf extend further into the harbour.
What are the reasons for your submission? Extending the Port fascilites will result in reduced ammenity for the majority of Aucklanders permanently. Additionally, expanding the Ports of Auckland operations on Waitemata Harbour will cause addional traffic congestion on motorways leading to Auckland CBD. Instead of expanding the Port, consideration should be given to reducing the volume of cargo shipped through the port (especially cars that are imported and then stored on the wharves) and reusing existing fascilities for passenger and recreational use. This reuse scope would include tourism, including cruise ships. Container services and the associated wharf space should be redirected to alternatives, especially Tauranga. If Auckland Council, because of its ownership and commercial interest in Ports of Auckland is unable to seperate community interests of ratepayers from its "Trade Competitor" role as owner of the Ports of Auckland, it must declare a conflict of interest and pass this application decision and independent authority.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? I request that Auckland Council reject the application entirely. My request is consistent with previous decisions and announcements that the Port should not extend further into the harbour.
Are you a trade competitor of the applicant? I am not a trade competitor of the applicant.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part 1 59 Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Object in principal to the gangway - it’s a harbour for heavens sake and access to the buoys should be by boat. If buoys are constructed an placed properly they won’t need continuous access for maintenance, unless it’s another botched job by ‘contractors’.
What are the reasons for your submission? I want my grandchildren to have a Harbour consisting of water NOT concrete. If this is allowed it is yet another incidious intrusion.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Disallow the whole thing but I know they won’t because their paid officials won’t let them
Are you a trade competitor of the applicant? I am not a trade competitor of the applicant.
Do you want to attend a hearing and speak in support of your submission? No

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Wharf extension
What are the reasons for your submission? I am vigourously opposed to any extension into our harbour. I lived downtown for six years and have forever wished that we made better use of our existing wharves. The shipping terminals need to be moved to Northport, and we do
1 75 not need bigger cruise ships. Do you know the environmental impact of cruise ships? They are like floating rubbish spreaders. I know it is not possible to stop all cruise ships, but we can in the least stand up and say stop with the monstrous boats.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Reverse this decision and put into law that no more extensions can be made to the wharves. We make better use of these wharves or suffer the consequences of the status quo. As mentioned above, fix up the rail north do that Northport can be the main port here in the north.

Submission details
This submission: supports the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Akorn DMC supports the construction of two new cruise mooring dolphins north of Queens Wharf, their gangway connections and the need to strengthen and upgrade Queens Wharf East with new bollards and additional fender clusters.
1 79 What are the reasons for your submission? Akorn DMC considers that the application brings positive economic benefits to Auckland and also New Zealand. The environmental effects of the application are minor especially compared to the long-term benefit of the application. Akorn DMC agrees with the applicants economic report that Auckland is very appealing to cruise lines and their passengers and the lack of infrastructure large enough to berth larger vessels is not only negative for Auckland but also for the rest of the country. This is because cruise lines will choose not to bring these vessels to New Zealand. No one wins in this scenario. The cruise lines are building larger ships. Larger ships mean more passengers and crew which results in a greater spend for our largest city and region. These large ships will also visit other ports and continue this spend. Cruise is very important to the New Zealand visitor economy. Auckland is seen as a "hero"port for New Zealand by cruise lines and consequently if larger ships can berth in Auckland, this will bring success to other regions as well.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Akorn DMC asks that the Commissioners grant this resource consent application.

What are the reasons for your submission? The damage to our harbour but also the business case of Cruise ships is all smoke and mirrors.
1 89 What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? I am a rate payer in Auckland but have since moved to Bay of Islands. The business community here is now campaigning to limit cruise ship numbers. The model supplies all services and goods on the boat. They spend no money ashore. They destroy waterfronts so as to be able to sell destinations. Case study Uturoa in Tahiti. Blocked out the village stores to build a cruise ship shopping centre that never made any money and now lies derelict, on the waterfront blocking access to the villiage.

1 101 Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: I am against the building of infrastructure in the harbour which reduces the navigational area. This submission also poses a threat to harbour users when they navigate through this area. The continuing reduction of the harbour causes increased tidal flows ( Dolphins and Larger cruise ships) The tidal flow will be an issue for small craft and sail boats on light wind days trying to navigate in this area to get around the Dolphins and the proposed gantries. I can picture a boat being swept against the gantries by the tide
What are the reasons for your submission? The reason for my submission is the safety of recreational harbour users in this area. Safety has been stated as a requirement for the Gantries but has not factored in small boats and yachts navigating in this area against the tide. The dolphins and larger Cruise boats will also affect/increase tidal flows
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? The council need to reject this application as it inhibits recreational harbour use, poses a threat to harbour users and sets a precedence for continuing encroachment.

What are the reasons for your submission? After seeing the negative impact of cruise ships throughout the Caribbean. I disagree with AKL making special allowances for the cruise ships. I the Caribbean the cruise ships bring congestion and don’t contribute to the wider AKL community. Only a small amount of people benefit. Over time the cruise ships have monopolised all the provisioning and support effectively moving most of the profits offshore leaving only congestion. Basically if they want NZ on the itinerary they should make it work for us. Not all cruise ship clientel are big spending tourists. Most want only package services thta again reduce the benefits to the locals.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Oppose the extension Maybe an anchorage that would enable a local company to supply water taxi services etc that would allow for more resources from the wider community.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The need for a gangway to connect the mooring dolphin/s to the wharf
What are the reasons for your submission? A gangway to connect the mooring dolphin/s to the wharf is not required and Will be much more visually intrusive than mooring dolphins alone Will add unnecessary expense to the project The mooring lines can be handled by wharf attendants transported to the dolphin/s by small boat (cost of physical gangway versus cost of say, 16" IRB to transport workers to the dolphin/s) Of note there is a recently completed mooring dolphin of the end of the passenger terminal at Circular Quay, Sydney which does not have/require a physical gangway connection to the main wharf. Check out how they manage this and implement similar at AUckland
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Removal of the physical gangway connection

This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part 1 109 Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Extension of Queens Wharf into Waitemata Harbour
What are the reasons for your submission? This is a personal submission I am strongly opposed to the development of Auckland's harbour by filling it in. The Ports of Auckland is a poor economic performer (annual return return on total asset value) and its strategic direction needs to change to produce a better return on its asset base. Using NZ's most valuable commercial waterfront- coastal real estate as a carpark for containers and imported cars is a poor use of space (and illustrates poor governance by its owners) In my opinion the Harbour has already been filled in too much. The Port is an ugly, noisey, congestion making eyesore and this extension would make it worse. There is already substantial loss of amenity value by recent poor decision making. I attach a photo showing the rough water created by current restrictions and the use of the ports as a carpark. The environmental degradation of the Harbour by incremental encroachment needs to stop and the financial outcomes from the Port asset need to improve
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? I would like the council to ensure no more filling in of the harbour and the council to work more effectively to improve economic and environmental outcomes from the Ports of Auckland
Are you a trade competitor of the applicant? I am not a trade competitor of the applicant.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Construction of 2 Dophins and associated walkway.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The linking of the mooring dolphins to the wharf by walkways
What are the reasons for your submission? I believe that the health and safety reasons given for building the walkways are specious and given just to legitimise the ease of operations for Ports of Auckland staff.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Best option - no mooring buoys at all. Second best - smallest possible buoys accessed by boat. that is - no walkways at all.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Extentions to Queens Wharf
What are the reasons for your submission? The extentions( any extention) to Queens Wharf is further encroachment into the Waitemata Harbour which is virtually
1 122 the front entrance to our city. You do not fill up the entry to your home with everything you own - so why do it to our entryway to Auckland City?
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Council should combine the findings of this round of submissions with those submitted a couple of years ago, which succeeded in stopping a similar proposed wharf extention. Get the message council - we love our Harbour!

What are the reasons for your submission? No more of the Harbour is up for grabs. Already it is over-taken by commercial users whose profit does not trickle down to the people of New Zealand. Already we seem to be aiming for the ugliest Harbour in the world- after having one of the prettier Harbours. We are talking about moving the Port and Devonport Naval Base - not encroaching further into the Harbour for profit to selected off-shore corporates.

What are the reasons for your submission?

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: I do not believe there should be any more encroachments on the harbour without proper consultation with the public. There have been huge protests in the past and this decision is short-sighted and only serving the financial interests of the cruise ship companies. How much revenue is it actually providing to the city of Auckland? It's a short-term gain for a long-term pain. When is the council actually going to listen to the public? When is it going to take a good hard look at the Port of Auckland and alternative sites? The container terminal is already and eyesore and our waterfront could
1 146 be so much better. Take a look at Sydney and Darling Harbour. They made the hard choices and are now enjoying the benefits.
What are the reasons for your submission? Am angry that this decision should go ahead when previous attempts to steal our harbour have been heavily protested.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Stop stealing our harbour. It's just more encroachment into the harbour which recent protests clearly demonstrate the public do not want.

What are the reasons for your submission? This Council cares nothing for Auckland residents and their beautiful harbour. The Council is destroying this city and

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: 1. The vista over the harbour needs to be preserved 2. The cost to value for Aucklanders life style 3. The justification for such a small number of people who benefit at the cost of the vast majority.
What are the reasons for your submission? 1. The beauty of the view in Auckland harbour will be damaged and access will become more difficult which will result in less use of the harbour and even less activity in central Auckland. 2. There is an initial cost and ongoing costs that will be borne by the rate payers, directly or indirectly, when that money would be better spent on infrastructure and releasing the tax on petrol for the rate payers. 3. People come here because of what we have if we make it like everywhere else they will stop coming 1 154 What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? An option that will work with the existing profile of the wharf and not impose on the harbour.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Extending the wharf further into the harbour.
What are the reasons for your submission? This harbour is New Zealand residents harbour, not travellers from other cities cruising in for a few days (at best). The monetary gain for actual aucklanders is minimal if the math was properly investigated by an impartial third party And
1 156 the visitors true touch points were accounted for correctly. Why are we encroaching into our public water to accommodate berthing for the big ship companies who are simply out to put money in their own offshore business pockets. It will be another council disgrace if this goes ahead - the council should be working for the rate payers and residents of the city and not being so short sighted and blinded by cruise ship and tourists lobbyists. Shame on the council for even considering this as it’s berthing point. Get creative, think outside the box and come up with a better plan that suits aucklanders.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Reconsider the whole plan. Come up with alternative location outside of main cbd waterfront area that should be becoming more pedestrianised and user friendly to locals, not short stay tourists who only spend for a few days (at best).

What are the reasons for your submission?
1 158 What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? The majority of cruise ships can and have been operating safely and efficiently out of the existing port facilities available. Only very few mega-sized cruise ships would benefit from such extension. The environmental harm resulting is long-lasting and by far out-weights any perceived economical benefit derived from such extension.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Gangway between dolphins and wharf.
What are the reasons for your submission? By putting a walkway between the end of Princess wharf and dolphins, the effect for boaties is the same as building a full wharf extension. This extension is purely to satisfy the needs of the few Mega Cruise ships that visit. They can anchor in the harbour as they do now. if the Cruise Industry are unhappy, then fast track the other wharf upgrades
1 164 What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? preferably can the whole dolphin idea, or at least have no walkway.

Submission details 1 181 This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The entire application. There should be no extension of Queen’s Wharf into our already congested Harbour.
What are the reasons for your submission? Any extension to the Wharf will change the way water moves within our waterway. With that will be a change on the buildup/erosion of silt and sand on the waterfront areas of the harbour. Secondly, as a sailor who regularly races on our harbour, any encroachment would be hazardous as we barely have enough room for racing as it is in this area. The lives of everyday Aucklanders should come before tourism. No-one wants those big cruise ships in our harbour. Let’s make it harder to get here, more exclusive ... not a cut-price free-for-all.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Can this idea completely. No further growth to accommodate tourists. No more encroachment into our harbour. No more sneaky plans.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: My family and I strongly object to extensions of any kind from the wharfs out into our Waitemata , specifially the current applied for extension from Queens Wharf out into our coastal marine area.
What are the reasons for your submission? The rate of change in modern technology makes the expense on Auckland rate payers , and the short life span of
1 183 such a structure ridiculous. All for a few visits a year from such ships ?. (People are swinging back to smaller cruise ships right now. Who knows where we will be in 10 years time). We need to consider this well into the future. Sunch ships are well able to use their own launches to move people onto land they do so at different ports all around the world. Councils will never pay to remove an eyesore of a structure that is in the future no longer used. Also tidal flow and therefore aucklanders use will be negatively impacted by further extensions.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Please stop any further Ports of Auckland or Panuku developments using extensions that would yet again reach further out into our Waitemata harbour. NO extension into our harbour, no extensions into our coastal marine environment.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: I do not support any extension of Queens Wharf whether it be a full Wharf structure or mooring dolphins
What are the reasons for your submission? A Wharf extension was successfully defeated three years ago because of the impact it would have on the enjoyment of this part of the Waitematā by the residents and citizens of this city both at sea and on shore. When ships are berthed at the wharf there is no difference in this impact whether they are tethered to a Wharf or a dolphin.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Extension of Queen's Wharf into the Coastal Marine area.
What are the reasons for your submission? The people of Auckland have previously made it very clear that a majority oppose any extension of any wharf into the Coastal Marine area. I strongly agree with such opposition for many reasons, but mainly because the Marine Coastal area is a public space that is already too small for the myriad of activities in the inner harbour. To further restrict it for a single use is contrary to good sense and public good. In particular, I oppose making an extension for the purpose of accommodating extra-large tourist ships. It is far from clear that we would benefit from such large ships, and a case could be made that by keeping Auckland free of such ships we make it MORE attractive as a tourist destination. At 1 189 any event, to encroach further into the harbour and thereby restrict public use of the space at all times for the sake of a few days of visits by extra-large ships does not make good public good sense. Apart from this, promises to never extend wharfs by those standing for Council was my predominant voting consideration. I would consider it as a serious breech of electoral promise if this extension was now approved.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Not allow ANY extension of Queens (or any other wharf).
Are you a trade competitor of the applicant? I am not a trade competitor of the applicant.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Notified Resource Consent for Queens Wharf Mooring Dolphins – CST60323353
The Wellington Chamber of Commerce (the Chamber) has been the voice of business in the Wellington region for 160 years since 1856 and advocates for policies that reflect the interest of Wellington’s business community, in both the city and region, and the development of the Wellington economy as a whole. The Chamber is accredited through the New Zealand Chamber of Commerce network.
We are writing to support Panuku’s resource consent application for two mooring dolphins off the end of Queen’s Wharf. By growing cruise infrastructure in Auckland and encouraging larger state of the art cruise ships to visit New Zealand, communities around the country including those in Wellington will benefit.
Tourism has grown to become New Zealand’s number one export earner and fuels vibrant cities as well as thriving regions. The improvement of Queens Wharf will ensure that cruise tourism continues to grow strongly and contribute to New Zealand businesses and communities.
We support the resource consent for the following eight reasons:
1. Cruise tourism contributes $434m per year to the New Zealand economy (StatsNZ, 2018) and brings over 300,000 visitors to New Zealand. The industry has been growing strongly and New Zealand has become a major drawcard destination for a range of cruise lines. We support encouraging this growth.
2. Large cruise vessels over 320m, and carrying up to 6000 passengers, are increasingly an industry trend and are likely to visit NZ more frequently in future. They require different infrastructure in Auckland to berth alongside, a key component of operating in our waters.
3. Auckland is New Zealand’s cruise hub and its facilities are of paramount importance to the nation’s cruise industry. It is the global gateway to New Zealand and many passengers have their first experience of our country in this city, so it is important that we enable a high quality, world class cruise experience. Currently, cruise ships that are too large to berth at the wharf must stay in the harbour channel. Their passengers can only go ashore in Auckland by being transferred via the ship’s tenders, which is a poor passenger experience.
4. The mooring Dolphins are an effective and low impact way to increase the size of ships able to berth at Queen’s Wharf without a complete extension of the wharf itself, reducing harbour encroachment.
196 5. They mooring dolphins are national pieces of infrastructure that will support not only Auckland’s tourism sector but also New Zealand and in particular regional tourism activity. Enabling the largest ships to berth in Auckland means they will come to New Zealand waters more often, visiting regional economies during their voyages and contributing to their communities.
6. While cruise ships comprise far less than 1 percent of the global maritime community, cruise lines are at the forefront in developing responsible environmental practices and innovative technologies that lead in environmental stewardship. The cruise industry will be adopting low- sulphur fuels from 2020 to reduce emissions and is continuing to lead the shipping sector in recycling and waste reduction.
7. The cost-benefit analysis conducted by Market Economics identifies that under the most-likely future scenario there is a positive impact of +$107m in net present value terms taking into account all investment and future investment into the community.
8. Tourism businesses and communities across the country will benefit from this piece of enabling infrastructure which will make it more likely that cruise lines commit more state-of- the-art large cruise ships to NZ.
We encourage Auckland Council to approve the resource consent in order to benefit not only Auckland but also wider New Zealand where cruise tourism plays an important role in local economies and communities. Wellington City will benefit considerably from an increasing number of larger cruise ships visiting our region.
Thank you for taking the time to consider our submission.

What are the reasons for your submission? This is another piecemeal proposal from a council that fails to address the long-term usage of the ports area or more viable alternatives for the movement of passengers. The true cost is not the suggested loss of revenue from the berthing of these ships but the further erosion of the already much reduced harbour.

What are the reasons for your submission? Broaden the thinking beyond engineering and logistics.
1 202 What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? While I support the comprehensive vision proposed by Urban Auckland, I am submitting this viewpoint because I want to see Queens Wharf become a truly attractive place for both locals and visitors. Think of welcoming visitors from cruise ships in ways that include an informative, entertaining and enriching experience as they move through the terminal. And have that experience accessible to the local public so that the wharf does not feel 'dead' between cruise ship visits. The attached document is something I put together in 2012 as an initial concept.

To whom it may inspire
A potential component for the Shed 10 upgrade on Queen’s Wharf 13 February 2012
This document is an updated version of an idea I have been pitching since September 2010. I am convinced that the absence of any response, positive or negative, is due to the process of bedding down the Auckland Council rather than any lack of merit in the idea.
I offer this concept as a way of breathing life into the 100 year old Shed 10 on Queen’s Wharf as it is transformed into a cruise ship terminal. It is a vision that positions Auckland as New Zealand’s trade and tourism gateway and makes the facility interesting and meaningful for both overseas and domestic audiences – ie: useful at all times. The idea is:
The concept involves developing an environment that tells international and local visitors about great ideas that have been developed in New Zealand and then found international markets. Showcased material would include science and technology, food, product design, fashion, music, theatre and film that has been, and is being, taken to the world. Stories behind the development of unique New Zealand tourist experiences could also be presented.
The shed is there. The ships are coming. The stories are waiting to be told. Most importantly, there is an urgent need to establish the environment required to inspire a great deal more of what is needed to create sustainable economic, cultural and social growth. By succinctly communicating where we are coming from, who we are being and how we are creating our future, SHEDS-2-SHIPS will contribute to our strategic evolution.

209 Submission
The EMA strongly supports the construction of the cruise ship Mooring Dolphins at the northern end of Queens Wharf.
The objections of a few well-resourced and noisome protest groups should not prevent the construction of a much needed, low impact piece of cruise ship infrastructure for the city and New Zealand.
Currently more than 300,000 cruise ship passengers pump more than $400 million into the New Zealand economy according to latest Statistics NZ information.
Without the construction of the Dolphins, the New Zealand cruise ship industry will suffer either a reduction in numbers or a plateau in growth, simply because larger ships cannot dock in Auckland- New Zealand’s cruise hub. If they cannot moor alongside the wharf in Auckland to disembark passengers and more importantly, provision the ships, they will eventually not come to New Zealand at all.
Auckland is an important provisioning point for the cruise industry providing maritime and food businesses in the city with additional revenue opportunities.
This inability to cope with larger ships has already seen Christchurch removed from some itineraries as ferrying passengers via tender from the ship in Akaroa Harbour was seen as a disincentive for those wishing to go ashore.
Larger ships, 6000-plus passengers, are already being forced to moor in the Waitemata Harbour with passengers then ferried to the wharf.
Auckland is also an important exchange point for the cruise industry with many passengers and crew either embarking or disembarking from their cruises in the city. This means additional revenue for Auckland as those passengers and crew can remain in the city for several days on either side of their cruise.
Much of the criticism levelled at the Dolphin proposal appears fixated on the construction, which is recommended to include a fixed walkway. In the minds of objectors this walkway has somehow become a “grand” extension of Queens Wharf.
There have now been two reports that identify the Mooring Dolphins as an effective and low impact way to increase the size of ships able to berth at Queen’s Wharf without an extension of the wharf.
The first report by Ports of Auckland was back up by a second from the Harbour Master and both focus on safety for those attaching the mooring lines.
Asking those workers to catch and secure massive hawsers in often tricky conditions from a moving small boat – or transferring from the boat to the dolphin to carry out the task – was deemed too great a risk in current safety conscious times. And rightly so for workers.
Construction of the Dolphins should also be considered against the context of what is already occurring on the waterfront where extensions will be granted for the provision of the America’s Cup bases while the Ports of Auckland 30-year plan will actually remove an existing wharf and create better access to the waterfront for Aucklanders and tourists.
210 Auckland’s waterfront is already highly modified but it should be noted port operations continue to reduce their footprint, while large areas that were previously dedicated to port operations have been returned to public and/or private use.
The benefits of a relatively low impact intrusion into the harbour far outweigh the largely aesthetic arguments put forward by many objectors who appear mainly to have an oppose anything, anywhere and any time attitude.

What are the reasons for your submission? This breaks a promise made to Auckland ratepayers. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. I believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use Cost Benefit Analysis methodology correctly. I believe alternative arrangements for these mega-ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? I want to see Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation. Development of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berthage. Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: MY reasons for objecting to the proposed ‘dolphins’ are: The Harbour is an already compromised ( by POA) waterway used regularly for boating which is what happens on the water! I use the harbour often, it is already compromised as a waterway for marine users and a wharf extension makes more of the ocean unuseable for Boating. This is further encroachment, and extends the area of public ocean that we the boating public are then prohibited from using by POA as is currently the case with too much of the harbour already restricted to POA only use and POA only profit at our public expense. POA and Council could extend the wharf to the South by returning land (they have previously reclaimed and sold at a profit) back into water space they claim to so desperately need! They profited by selling that reclaimed land and now find they should have kept it as ocean! NO, it is not OK for POA to gain consent to takeover public water space for their own exclusive use, only to sell it off for profit ( as they have done for decades) only to turn around and take more harbour to profit again. They are primarily a realestate company profiting at the OCean and ocean users expense. An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf.

What are the reasons for your submission? I have had enough of my harbour stolen by POA already, only for POA to then sell off that reclaimed land or wharf for private use and now they want to come back for more... they must be stopped while there is still some harbour left! Secondly the waterway is used by boats and no consideration has been given to the primary user of the harbour...public boaties. An analogy would be for POA to take over the motorway to use for container storeage only to sell off the motorway for profit decades later. Well this is a waterway, not a motorway and the users ( boat owners as opposed to car owners) are NOT ok with POA taking a public waterway into their exclusive control.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The extension of Queens Wharf

Their greed will cause visual pollution of our harbour & difficult to reverse when a saner council is elected.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? No extension of any wharf; no further encroachment of our harbour.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Invasion of the the harbour
What are the reasons for your submission? When one stands in the Rose Gardens and surveys the reclamation over the past 100 or so years! The Council installed numerous history units from the Harbour Bridge to the Rose Gardens in Parnell. They are informative and interesting. However the one at the bottom of Gladstone Rd opposite the Building Centre was incorrectly located. It should have been in St Marys Bay. I approached the council pointing out the problem.It took 5 or so months to have the situation corrected. I persisted as my family arrived in Parnell in the 1870s so we gave an interest.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Develop the rail link to Whangarei and decentralise the Auckland wharfs. My great uncle for many years advocated a canal from the Waikato River to the Manukau then to the Waitamata via the Whau River Portage Rd connection. There are articles in the NZ Herald up to the mid 60s on this subject.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Extension of Queens Wharf into the Waitemata Harbour
What are the reasons for your submission? Our reasons for objecting to the proposed ‘dolphins’ are: An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. We believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use Cost Benefit Analysis methodology correctly. We believe alternative arrangements for these mega- ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? We call for..... Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation. Development of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berthage. Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people.

Submission details 1 244 This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The entire application
What are the reasons for your submission? I want Auckland to have cleaner air to breath and less people dying prematurely from pollution. Marine pollution analysts note that large cruise ship burn at least 150 tonnes of fuel a day, and emit more sulphur than several million cars, more NO2 gas than all the traffic passing through a medium-sized town and more particulate emissions than thousands of London buses. According to leading independent German pollution analyst Axel Friedrich, a single large cruise ship will emit over five tonnes of NOX emissions, and 450kg of ultra fine particles a day. These ships burn as much fuel as whole towns. They use a lot more power than container ships and even when they burn low sulphur fuel, it’s 100 times worse than road diesel.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Decline the application entirely or accept it only if ‘shore power’ is provided to the ships and it is used as a condition of berthing.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The inclusion of bollards and extension of Queens Wharf into the harbour will restrict water activities for the public and permanently change the course and flow of the tide and surrounding environment. This includes the potential for erosion of the shoreline on both sides of the harbour.
What are the reasons for your submission? As described above.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour
What are the reasons for your submission? The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc,
1 262 inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long- term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Alternative arrangements for these mega-ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously. Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Our reasons for objecting to the proposed ‘dolphins’ are: An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf”
1 264 Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. We believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use Cost Benefit Analysis methodology correctly.

Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation.

Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people.

1 270 development into the harbor breaches this duty. Auckland Harbor is a major scenic attraction further visual spoilage will reduce the attractiveness of the harbor
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? The Council should work with Ports of Auckland towards the preferred solution. which necessitates the removal of Marsden Wharf. The reason given by POAL that it will lose working space if it Marsden Wharf is deconstructed is not credible given that it proposes to construct a parking garage of larger area.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a submission on an application from Panuku Development to upgrade the eastern Queens Wharf cruise ship berth to provide for the mooring of cruise ships up to 362m in length. This involves:
• the construction of two new cruise ship mooring dolphins located at distances of 49m and 82 m north of the northern end of Queens Wharf; • a gangway connection to Queens Wharf; • strengthening the southern end of Queens Wharf • seven new wharf bollards on the eastern side, at the southern end of Queens Wharf; and • additional fender clusters on the eastern side at the northern end of Queens Wharf.
New Zealand Cruise Association SUPPORTS this application.
New Zealand Cruise Association supports the Application for a range of reasons New Zealand Cruise Association has over 90 members – ports, Regional Tourism Organisations ground handlers, airports, airlines, shipping agents and suppliers, major cruise lines and tourist operators. We represent our members in Auckland and throughout the New Zealand cruise regions in supporting this application.
NZCA considers that any adverse environmental effects of the application are minor and that, if the application were granted, there would be a range of significant positive effects, in particular positive economic benefits for Auckland and New Zealand. The existence of other ports does not detract from the proposal.
Reasons for these submissions are set out below.
The adverse environmental effects of the application are minor
286
NZCA has reviewed the supporting documentation provided by the applicant. It is detailed and voluminous. The applicant’s experts have demonstrated in a thorough manner that the environmental effects of placing the mooring dolphin structures adjacent to Queens Wharf are minor and can be addressed by appropriate conditions.
Positive Effects There are a range of positive effects of the proposal. In particular, NZCA considers that benefits to the Auckland regional and national tourism economy are significant.
• NZCA agrees with the applicant’s economic report that “Auckland is New Zealand’s cruise hub”. Auckland has lots of appealing characteristics as a destination for cruise lines and their customers. The lack of ability to berth large vessels negatively impacts the attractiveness of Auckland as a cruise hub and the absence of a major city on an itinerary reduces the appeal of a country as a whole. • NZCA also agrees with the applicant’s economic report that “potential constraints on Auckland’s ability to host cruise vessels may affect port calls across the rest of New Zealand”. • Although NZCA considers that the information released by Statistics New Zealand (SNZ) does not provide a complete picture of the economic benefits of cruise to the New Zealand economy, SNZ does provide an objective and independent view on the national and Auckland regional value of the cruise industry. The most recent set of statistics released by SNZ in August 2018 notes: ➢ Cruise ship expenditure in New Zealand reached $434.0 million in the year ended June 2018, up 18.3 percent; and ➢ Auckland spend totalled $131.4 million up 11.2 percent. • Granting the application will enable larger cruise ships to berth in Auckland. This in turn enables those cruise lines to schedule visits to other New Zealand ports that have the ability to berth ships of this size, such as Tauranga, Wellington, Picton, Lyttelton, (when its new cruise berth is completed) and Port Chalmers. Without Auckland these ports are less likely to receive the larger ships, impacting on the tourism economy of their regions. • In NZCA’s experience there is considerable potential for more turnarounds of larger ships because Auckland has the facilities, such as an international airport and hotels, to add greatly to the value of ship visits. However, NZCA is aware that cruise lines will not consider Auckland as a destination for greater numbers of turnarounds of larger ships until port infrastructure issues, to enable berthage, are resolved. • NZCA considers that there are significant economic benefits from granting consent to the proposal. The following figures provided in the applicant’s economic assessment provide a reasonable, if conservative, indication of the economic benefits to the Auckland tourist economy if larger cruise ships can visit due to the mooring dolphin being in place.
287 ➢ The Conservative Future Option indicates a Nett Present Value (NPV) in each year of $30.4 million, and assumes that the large vessels are transit only – ie no passenger exchanges. Once the dolphins are in place passenger exchanges of the larger ships become much more likely. ➢ The mid-range Likely Future Option shows a NPV in each year of $107 million, a significant amount more than three times that of the Conservative Future Option. • Cruise is an important part of the New Zealand tourism economy, and Auckland is the gateway port for our regions. Consequently, a successful Auckland cruise port is important to the Auckland region and it is also critical to the success of our regions beyond Auckland. Existence of other Ports does not detract from this application As noted above, the positive benefits from granting consent to mooring dolphins in Auckland’s port extend throughout New Zealand, including to other ports within the country. The existence of other ports should not be considered as an alternative location for this proposal. The hearing panel needs to consider the merit of this application – one with minimal adverse effects and significant positive benefits. There is no need to consider alternatives when making that decision. Should the application be declined then the range and scale of positive benefits of this proposal will be lost. The absence of a berth that can support larger vessels in the largest city in the country will have a negative impact on the ability of New Zealand to attract cruise lines.
Decision The New Zealand Cruise Association asks that the Commissioners grant this resource consent application.
New Zealand Cruise Association wishes to be heard in support of its submission.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The construction of two mooring dolphins located at distances of 49m and 82m (to the centres of the dolphins), to a total length of 90m, from the end of Queen's Wharf into the Coastal Marine Area, a gangway connection to Queen's Wharf including hydraulic retractable gangway and security gates, strengthening of the southern end of Queen's Wharf, seven new additional wharf bollards on the eastern side at the southern end of Queen's Wharf, and additional fender clusters on the eastern side at the north end of Queen's Wharf.
What are the reasons for your submission? The construction and intrusion a further 90 metres into the Waitematā Harbour from Queen's Wharf into the busiest and most publicly significant part of the harbour is unnecessary and something current political leaders, including 1 289 government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queen's Wharf was purchased by Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae ātea, connecting the city with the harbour. The intended change to the use of the wharf, berthing the oversized vessels, detracts from this purpose by industrialising and commercialising the “People's Wharf”. Queen's Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely detrimentally impact these heritage features. While the Applicant claims it is a temporary structure, the application for a 35 year consent is not consistent with this assertion. The extension of Queen's Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to cater for mega-cruise ships to dock, we are told, 3 to 7 days per year. Further, it is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cook's wharf as Auckland's prime cruise ship berth. We believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queen's Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use cost benefit analysis methodology correctly. The arrangements for these mega-ships should be strategically managed by the Ports of Auckland and Auckland Council within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary II has been accommodated previously, and not by further intrusion into the Waitematā Harbour.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? The Application to be declined in full. Integrated long-term strategic planning of our waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation. Development of alternatives to the east of Queen's Wharf for cruise ship berthage. Queen's Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The negative impact of the proposed 'upgrades' will be out of all proportion to any benefits provided by their very occasional and relatively short term use. The proposed extensions will negatively affect navigation for all other harbour users. It will restrict access and usage by the public of the space at the end of Queen's Wharf and restrict access to the waters edge. For 4 ship visits a year for 10 years until a permanent location is available, the inconveniences are too great. The impact on the marine environment for such a temporary structure is also great, and then there is the danger that dismantling the structure will cause further pollution in the harbour, or perhaps worse, that dismantling the structure is too greater cost and it becomes permanent by default. All this with no guarantee that the boom in the cruise industry will continue or that the largest vessels will continue to be financially viable if the industry does take a downturn. 1 291 What are the reasons for your submission? I care for our environment, care that spaces recently made available to the public along Auckland's waterfront should remain public, and as a regular ferry commuter I care that navigation for regular users of the harbour is not permanently impeded for the sake of very occasional visitors.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Expedite the development of a permanent solution for mooring large cruise vessels at Captain Cook Wharf and find an appropriate location for mooring large cruise vessels in the meantime, that does not adversely affect ferry operations.

This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Queens Wharf (northern end) resource consent
What are the reasons for your submission? Our reasons for objecting to the proposed ‘dolphins’ are: An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current
1 302 political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. We believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use Cost Benefit Analysis methodology correctly. We believe alternative arrangements for these mega- ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? We call for..... Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation. Development of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berthage. Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people.

What are the reasons for your submission? The damage to the harbour and its current heavy usage. The destruction of potential for a future attractive, inclusive
1 308 waterfront for the benefits of New Zealanders and tourists, which would have greater economic benefit than this short term thinking approach.

This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Extensions to Queens Wharf (dolphins/concrete piles and gangways)
What are the reasons for your submission? Queens Wharf is the significant public space on the waterfront, and the proposed extensions would adversely impact that amenity to a more than minor extent. The Central Wharves Strategy looked to use Captain Cook Wharf and
1 310 Bledisloe Wharf for these mega cruise ships, and this proposal is in conflict with those plans. The potential cumulative effects on the Waitemata harbour would be significant.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The upgrades of two mooring dolphins located at distances of 49m and 82m (to the centres of the dolphins), to a total length of 90m, from the end of Queens Wharf into the Coastal Marine Area.
What are the reasons for your submission? This proposal represents ad-hoc short-term disconnected planning of our waterfront. There is evidence that other cities are limiting and controlling the cruise ship industry bringing their increasingly larger vessels into city ports. This proposal is an example of a poor business case the smaller, luxury cruise ship market is a better fit for Auckland.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: I am against ANY extension of Queen's Wharf as outlined in the proposed application.
What are the reasons for your submission? Queen's Wharf is an inappropriate site for mega ships to arrive at, blocking views and making yet more of our water frontage inaccessible, as well as pushing out at huge expense further into our beautiful harbour. We need spaces and
1 318 places here for all New Zealanders to recreate and participate in cultural activities. I am tired of being disappointed in promises made pre-election and broken post-election.I read of a proposal for a museum to be built here where we could proudly show our history and all visitors to our shores. This seems so much more visionary than ruining our harbour. Put the mega ships at Captain Cook Wharf using the funding Ak Council want to spend on the Queen's Wharf extension to upgrade it.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? We need Auckland Council to listen to us, its citizens - especially those of us that do not have a commercial investment in these Queen's Wharf proposals, but who just want to see our children and future generations being able to live in a human-scale, vibrant city of which our city waterfront and harbour is the jewel in the crown.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The proposal is an inappropriate use of Queens Wharf, the 'Peoples Wharf'. Cruise ships should be accommodated elsewhere and not on Queens Wharf.
What are the reasons for your submission? OUR REASONS FOR OBJECTING to the proposed ‘dolphins’ are: An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the
1 320 Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – however berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete pads and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3-7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. We believe there is no strong economic justification for extending Queens Wharf and question the cost-benefit analysis undertaken by Council. We believe alternative arrangements for these mega-ships should be managed within the existing Port, such as the Queen Mary 2 has been for years.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? WHAT WE CALL FOR: Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation. Development of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berthage. Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people.

This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Any plan regarding extension of any wharf further into our harbour is outrageous considering this is an issue that has been discussed and discussed and opposed by the majority of ratepayers in Auckland many times.
What are the reasons for your submission? I strongly object to ratepayers money (mine) being used for something completely unnecessary which is a total encroachment on the beauty of our harbour. There are numerous ports around the world where passengers are tendered in from cruise ships and this should remain the case in Auckland if the wharf is not large enough to accommodate a particular vessel.
1 322 What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Forget about any idea to extend any wharf anywhere along our waterfront.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Building dolphins for large cruise ships out into the harbour
What are the reasons for your submission? These dolphins are not needed to handle the cruise ships. The Queen Mary 2 has visited Auckland at least five times and has had no trouble berthing at Jellicoe wharf. The Oasis class vessels could easily berth at Fergusson wharf. Many ports overseas suspend container operations for one day to allow a large cruise ship a berth. There is no valid reason why this practice could not be followed here. The port does not have container vessels occupying the berth every day and it only means pulling the cranes along to the end of the wharf. They are on rails and move frequently. Fergusson wharf would give buses taxis and trucks supplying stores to the ship with ease avoiding all the main traffic 1 324 on Queens wharf and the traffic chaos at the Ferry building end of Queens wharf. Overseas ports do not go out spending up millions of dollars for ships that come in only in their cruising season. They consider that the whole local economy benefits by just one day of a big spend-up by passengers and we can do the same here. I am well aware of the Port Company just hates to alter any of their normal operating practices and they will get local importers to squeal loudly that they are inconvenienced.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Scrub the idea of dolphins altogether. The Port company has a long history of making disastrous decisions that have cost millions of dollars down the drain. The Council that promised so much Mr Goff has once again been led down a path of waste spending. If the Council really wanted to help the Port Company get back on it's feet it would not delay any further and tell the Port Company that the container terminals should go to Orere Point . Here with two tunnels through the farm park above they would exit towards Takanini and this would mean that instead of containers from the Wiri manufacturing area being railed down to Tauranga at the rate now of 86 trains a week the containers would be trucked just below Takanini to a sorting and stacking area then railed through the tunnels to the ships side. Tauranga made a profit of $94 million this financial year. What has been Auckland's profit? All the Wiri manufacturing used to come to Auckland port not Tauranga. a short trip indeed and much less cost to the exporter.

Submission to
Auckland Council
on the
Publicly notified resource consent application
Panuku Development, Auckland
Coastal Permit – Queens Wharf Mooring Dolphins
Application number: CST60323353
Date: 05 October 2018
328 Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA) welcomes the opportunity to comment on the publicly notified resource consent application by Panuku Development Auckland on the Queens Wharf cruise ship wharf upgrade.
This submission is filed without prejudice to TIA’s future position. Our ability to prepare a comprehensive submission responding to the resource consent application relied on the provision by Panuku Development Auckland of information relevant to the connection between the resource consent application and the benefits that would accrue. If any information is provided at a later date, TIA reserve the right to comment further.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. TIA is supportive of the resource consent application for the Queens Wharf mooring dolphins. In our opinion, this is the best available option for the infrastructure issues the cruise ship sector is experiencing in Auckland.
2. The cruise sector is an important economic contributor in the New Zealand tourism industry.
3. TIA is of the opinion that the mooring dolphins are a low impact way to accommodate larger cruise ships without extending the wharf itself. As New Zealand’s largest city and a key port for New Zealand cruise itineraries, it is important that Auckland has facilities that can cater for large cruise ships.
4. The economic benefits of cruise ship visits benefits not only the local Auckland economy, but also the many regional communities that the cruise ships go on to visit. The dolphins will make it possible for these large ships to berth rather than tender, making it more likely that cruise lines commit more of the newest and largest cruise ships to New Zealand.
5. The proposal will have a range of positive effects on Auckland.
6. Currently, ships exceeding the wharf size must stay in the harbour channel and transfer their guests to the port via the ship’s tenders. This gives these tourists a sub-optimal experience in Auckland. It also limits the economic contribution these cruise ship visits can provide, not only because some passengers may elect not to go ashore, but also because the ship is limited in what stores they can load while at anchor.
7. We are mindful of the impacts that the dolphin may have on other maritime operators and encourage the commissioners to work with all parties so that any potential negative impacts on the dolphin moorings are at least minimised if they cannot be eliminated.
329 RECOMMENDATIONS
8. TIA strongly recommends that the resource consent be granted.

COMMENT
Tourism 2025
13. Tourism 2025, an industry-led, government supported economic growth framework was launched in New Zealand in 2014 and has set an aspirational goal of reaching $41 billion in annual tourism revenues by 2025. The industry’s focus is on growing value faster than volume. The Tourism 2025 growth framework is based around five key themes which are Insight, Connectivity, Productivity, Visitor Experience and Target for Value. This growth framework has been reviewed (Tourism 2025-two years on) in 2016. While the five themes of the framework remain unchanged, the emphasis in some focus areas has shifted. Facilitating infrastructure investment to support tourism growth is one of the themes now being given greater priority.
330 Our understanding of the issue
14. We understand that: - Panuku Development has applied for a resource consent to upgrade the eastern Queens Wharf cruise ship berth to provide for the mooring of cruise ships up to 362m in length.
- This involves: the construction of two new cruise ship mooring dolphins located at distances of 49m and 82 m north of the northern end of Queens Wharf a gangway connection to Queens Wharf strengthening the southern end of Queens Wharf seven new wharf bollards on the eastern side, at the southern end of Queens Wharf additional fender clusters on the eastern side at the northern end of Queens Wharf
General
The importance of New Zealand’s cruise sector
15. The cruise sector is an important economic contributor in the New Zealand tourism industry. It has grown fivefold in the last ten years.
16. In the June 2018 year1: cruise ship expenditure in New Zealand was $434.0 million, up 18.3% from 2017 259,000 cruise ship passengers visited New Zealand in the June 2018 year, up 17% from 2017 Auckland was the most visited port with 211,652 passengers arriving in the June 2018 year. If the cruise sector were a country, it would be the 4th largest group of visitor arrivals, behind Australia, China, and the USA, ahead of the UK, Germany and Japan.
17. The cruise industry in New Zealand is growing faster than cruise tourism in the rest of the world (global growth about 7%; New Zealand about 13-14%). It also grows faster than other tourism sectors in New Zealand. However, New Zealand still only gets a very small share of the global cruise industry.
18. New Zealand is an attractive destination for cruise travellers, and cruise operators see opportunity to deliver even more economic benefit if appropriate cruise
1 StatsNZ, Cruise ship traveller and expenditure statistics: Year ended June 2018, August 2018 – as sourced on https://www.stats.govt.nz/information-releases/cruise-ship-traveller-and-expenditure-statistics-year-ended- june-2018
331 infrastructure can be developed in Auckland to support the newest and largest cruise ships. New Zealand is seen as a safe and attractive place to visit.
19. According to Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), 80% of cruise passengers agree that cruise is a good way to sample destinations that they may wish to visit again on a land-based holiday. Nearly 40% of cruise passengers state that they had returned to holiday at a destination first visited on a cruise2.
20. Future cruise trends include the building of larger cruise ships, which will bring greater numbers of visitors to New Zealand at any one time and increase the pressure on our infrastructure catering to cruise visitors. This has prompted a renewed focus on work to upgrade New Zealand's infrastructure - with Cruise New Zealand, regional tourism organisations and relevant government bodies working together on this issue.
21. The dolphins are a low impact way to accommodate larger cruise ships without extending the wharf itself. As New Zealand’s largest city and a key port for New Zealand cruise itineraries, it is important that Auckland has facilities that can cater for large cruise ships. The economic benefits of cruise ship visits benefits not only the local Auckland economy, but also the many regional communities that the cruise ships go on to visit. The dolphins will make it possible for these large ships to berth rather than tender, making it more likely that cruise lines commit more of the newest and largest cruise ships to New Zealand.
22. For years, Auckland Council has promoted Captain Cook Wharf as the long-term cruise ship venue. There has however been no funding allocated over the next 10 years in the council's most recent Long-Term Plan for the implementation of the Central Wharves Strategy3. With no immediate prospect of this becoming the long- term cruise ship venue we are of the opinion that the mooring dolphins are the best available solution.
23. With cruise ships now stopping at ports around the country, it is also a sector that has potential benefits for many regional tourism hubs. Spend by cruise passengers is largely focussed around key cruise regions, such as Bay of Islands, Auckland, Tauranga, Napier, Wellington, Picton, the Marlborough Sounds, Christchurch, Dunedin and Fiordland, but can also include further inland regions such as Rotorua, Waitomo and Queenstown. Without Auckland, these ports are less likely to receive the larger ships impacting on the regional tourism economy of their regions.

332 24. Cruise is an increasing source of visitor value, both in terms of direct expenditure and also as an excellent seasonality and regional dispersal lever. There are good opportunities to position ourselves to benefit even more from this sector. One of the actions out of the Tourism2025 framework is to keep growing the value of the cruise sector, including: growing Auckland’s use as an exchange hub; securing a good share of the passenger volume increases resulting from the opening up of a larger, wider Panama Canal lane (previously a major obstacle preventing up to 50% of the world’s cruise fleet from travelling to Oceania for the Southern Hemisphere cruise season); and positioning Oceania as a viable off-season option for the growing number of cruise ships operating within the Asian circuit.
The proposal will have a range of positive effects on Auckland
25. “Auckland is New Zealand’s cruise hub”. Auckland has lots of appealing characteristics as a destination for cruise lines and their customers. The lack of ability to berth large vessels negatively impacts the attractiveness of Auckland as a cruise hub and the absence of a major city on an itinerary reduces the appeal of a country as a whole. TIA agrees with the applicant’s economic report that “potential constraints on Auckland’s ability to host cruise vessels may affect port calls across the rest of New Zealand”.
26. According to the New Zealand Cruise Association, cruise lines will not consider Auckland as a destination for greater numbers of turnarounds of larger ships until port infrastructure issues to enable berthage are resolved.
27. Auckland is the country's only exchange port - people fly into New Zealand before boarding a ship or fly out at the end of a cruise. It is also the main beneficiary of passenger spending as well as the cruise company restocking ships with food, fuel and supplies.
28. In the year ended June 2018, the cruise industry spend a total of $131.4 million in Auckland (+11.2% on 2017).4 Cruise ship visits reached 108, up from 100 in the previous year.5
29. There are significant economic benefits from granting consent to the proposal. A report commissioned by Panuku suggests that the dolphins are expected to contribute an average $26.5m to GDP per annum and an extra 670 FTE jobs in the Auckland region alone. Even in the unlikely event of no growth in extra-large cruise vessels the investment will still deliver net positive economic benefits.

333 30. The following figures provided in the applicant’s economic assessment provide a reasonable, if conservative, indication of the economic benefits to the Auckland tourist economy if larger cruise ships can visit due to the mooring dolphin being in place. a. The Conservative Future Option indicates a Nett Present Value (NPV) in each year of $30.4 million, and assumes that the large vessels are transit only – i.e. no passenger exchanges. Once the dolphins are in place passenger exchanges of the larger ships become much more likely. b. The mid-range Likely Future Option shows a NPV in each year of $107 million, a significant amount more than three times that of the Conservative Future Option.
The importance of the visitor experience to the New Zealand tourism industry
31. The visitor experience, driving value through outstanding visitor experience, is one of the pillars of the Tourism 2025 framework. Individually and collectively, the tourism industry is increasing visitor value by increasing visitor satisfaction. By putting themselves in the shoes of the visitors, by building on what they are doing well and by eliminating areas of dissatisfaction, visitors stay longer, travel more widely, and spend more.
32. Currently, ships exceeding the wharf size must stay in the harbour channel and transfer their guests to the port via the ship’s tenders. This gives these tourists a sub-optimal experience in Auckland. It also limits the economic contribution these cruise ship visits can provide, not only because some passengers may elect not to go ashore, but also because the ship is limited in what stores they can load while at anchor.
Concerns from maritime operators in the Viaduct Basin
33. We are aware of concerns held by a ferry company operating in the basin around Queens Wharf in regards to the proposals. They have expressed concern that the dolphin structure may impact journey times due to the requirement to bypass the moorings, leading to a potential reduction in the number of trips and also increased journey times.
34. We would encourage local maritime operators and the cruise sector to work in a joined-up approach with Panuku with a view to minimising any significant negative impacts of the dolphin moorings. TIA offers their support in this process.
Follow up process
35. TIA wishes to participate further in any follow-up process, including any formal meetings, to ensure that the potential impacts on tourism are adequately represented.
334 BACKGROUND
36. Tourism for New Zealand is big business as the country’s largest export sector. It is a major contributor to the New Zealand economy that will always be here and won’t easily go offshore. Tourism takes the lead in promoting New Zealand to the world. The brand positioning built by a vibrant tourism industry has become an important source of national confidence and identity and a front window for “Brand New Zealand”. Indeed, the clean and pure offer that is synonymous with New Zealand tourism has been widely adopted and used to promote New Zealand exports in a range of other industries as well.
37. The tourism industry delivers the following value to New Zealand’s economy:
Tourism in New Zealand is a $99 million per day and $36 billion a year industry. Tourism delivers around $40 million in foreign exchange to the New Zealand economy each day of the year. Domestic tourism contributes another $59 million in economic activity every day.
The tourism industry directly and indirectly supports 14.5% of the total number of people employed in New Zealand. That means 399,150 people are working in the visitor economy.
Tourism is New Zealand’s biggest export industry, earning $14.5 billion or 20.7% of New Zealand’s foreign exchange earnings (year ended March 2017).

It is not aligned with 1 336 Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: To spend $14 Million of ratepayers money to construct a 90m long extension to Queens Wharf with two large 15m x 15m concrete mooring structures
What are the reasons for your submission? An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, 1 342 including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. We believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use Cost Benefit Analysis methodology correctly. I believe alternative arrangements for these mega-ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation. Development of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berthage. Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – this is intended to be primarily the Peoples Wharf. Berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises this asset, robbing the People of Auckland of a major urban space. Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” I question whether the applicant has the legal right to build these structures on the seabed, and accessed from 1 353 Queens wharf - do they have ownership of the land and seabed that they are proposed to occupy? The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. This does not improve the environment or use of the harbour and there does not appear to be a compelling case for why this sacrifice should be made. We believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use Cost Benefit Analysis methodology correctly. It is amazing that the Auckland Council have unquestioningly accepted the case put forward by Panuku without challenging the economics. Especially since the Mayor promised at the last election 'not a metre more extension into the harbour.' Has reference been made to the wider context of port development in North Island, particularly with reference to the currently ongoing North Island Ports Study? We believe alternative arrangements for these mega-ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 and other large ships have been accommodated previously. I call for..... Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation. More serious consideration of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berthage. Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people. A setting up of a governance body with authoritative powers entrusted with the serious remit to preserve the Waitamata Harbour for the long-term benefit of all users (including commercial and recreational) in balance with the environmental, historical and cultural significance of this unique asset.
What are the reasons for your submission? Particularly concerned at the lack of sound governance shown by Auckland Council with regard to the Waitamata Harbour, and of the untrustworthiness of the local politicians who are not delivering on their election promise
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? To refuse the application

What are the reasons for your submission? Having grown up on the Auckland Waterfront, I am appalled that this is even being considered for the few days that any cruise ship will visit Auckland per annum. Ratepayers are struggling already and to add this "feel good" debt onto the city is insane. Panukau needs to be revisited and kicked to the curb if this is their idea of progressing the waterfront. It belongs to the people of Auckland, not wealthy cruise ship Companies to dictate requirements. NO!
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Simple - Stop with the entire plan now -particularly when this has already been tried (similar) before and the people said no. Your role is to listen to the people - forgotten that?

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf to allow big ships to dock in our harbour
What are the reasons for your submission? We believe alternative arrangements for these mega-ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will 1 367 severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. We believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use Cost Benefit Analysis methodology correctly.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? We believe alternative arrangements for these mega-ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously. We call for..... Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation.

Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people.

What are the reasons for your submission? This extension is being proposed is inconsistent with the long-term strategy plan for the Waitemata harbour. If this strategy is changing then it needs to be discussed and agreed to in the public forum. I note that this extension has been defined as 'temporary' 35 year facility, however, in know way can 35 years be considered temporary, and certainly wouldn't be considered so by a 'reasonable' person. This is a 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most public part of the harbour. This is something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the 1 375 Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf.

What are the reasons for your submission? Auckland is a beautiful surrounding the spectacular Waitamata harbour. Once it is gone it’s gone! This is the classic case of killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Is this to be Goff’s and city Council’s bequest to the City and it’s people? Also if you can’t trust politicians to stick to election promises it says nothing about their integrity.
1 379 What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? In the fiords of Norway when the large cruise ships berth ships must anchor towards the middle of the fiord. The port provides a long temporary pontoon out to the ship FOR WHICH THE CRUISE COMPANY PAYS. The price of the pontoon is simply added to the passengers ticket and the port company makes a profit. There is no permanent structure left in the fiord and for 9 months of the year there are no cruise ships so the people who live there have their beautiful natural fiord to themselves. This is a viable option for Auckland. Also, is there some way you can stop the cruise ship companies from setting up their own shops on shore so that local businesses miss out completely as has happened in many ports in Alaska?

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Opposed to construction of two mooring dolphins located at distances of 49m and 82m (to the centres of the dolphins), to a total length of 90m, from the end of Queens Wharf into the Coastal Marine Area, a gangway connection to Queens Wharf including hydraulic retractable gangway and security gates,
What are the reasons for your submission? There is absolutely no need for these two large 15m x 15m concrete mooring structures - the business case is flawed, full of errors, exaggerations and relying on dubious data from the cruise industry, and all for a few ships for only a handful of days each year. City centre residents’ opinions and needs have been completely ignored in almost every aspect of this consent application – count how many times we are mentioned. There are 53,000 of us living here now 1 381 – we need more not less public space where we can safely relax, get to the water’s edge and enjoy our city. Apparently our needs, views and opinions are the first to be sacrificed. It is another nail in the coffin for us residents of the city centre - less public space when we need more – we don’t need more vehicles, views of the harbour impacted, access closed off for even more days of the year. This incremental, poorly thought out development is driven by expediency rather than the guiding planning statutory documents that we already have in place. There is a complete Lack of cohesive and publicly consulted strategy of all aspects of planning relating to Queens Wharf that includes this application. It ignores the vision, intent and statements in the City Centre Masterplan and Waterfront plan - the required statutory planning documents of the City Centre. The Consent application completely fails to address the statutory requirements of those two plans. These statutory documents were agreed after long public consultation and provide the agreed Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront. This RC application puts those statutory documents to the side in favour of expedient, piecemeal development, that majorly impacts residents and others. Insufficient weight or consideration has been given to the role of public space and use - The People’s Wharf, at the northern wharf end - inclusive of raising the Shed 11 roof at the norther end of the wharf. Residents have not been considered at all in these schemes. In fact, the level to which city centre residents have been ignored is not only shocking, it is insulting in a city centre that wants to prioritise city centre ‘liveability in all its planning documents. It is an unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publicly significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. The existing alternative arrangements for larger ships can be managed within the existing Port, such as the Queen Mary 2 has been for years. Captain Cook wharf is proposed to be the Cruise ship terminal in a few year – clearly that is the good option – let’s wait for that. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – however berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf”. These larger vessels require ever more servicing vehicles, taxis, buses, provisioning vehicles and so on - creating a hostile environment for people on foot and biking. The Traffic Management Plan is woefully optimistic and hopelessly misguided. It completely ignores the effects on residents using this area as precious public space- we apparently don't exist in the eyes of the TMP. Residents don’t understand why maritime infrastructure is being prioritised completely over public space and the needs of city centre residents for safe accessible pubic space free from thousands of vehicle movements, and turning trucks. This mooring proposal is a part of that and should be rejected until such time as we have joined up wholistic all-of-waterfront thinking (as embodied by our Waterfront Plan and City Centre masterplan).
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Reject the application in its entirety. If this RC is approved I wish to see the following conditions imposed: 1. All impacts, whether they be construction-related, or operational must be consulted with city centre residents at all stages and in an ongoing fashion. 2. Provide Access to the full 90.3 m of dolphin and associated wharf length (and stop hiding behind H&S) 3.That when the ships aren’t in that the fences roll back to allow access right around the wharf once more 4.That a public space at the northern end of Queen Wharf be enshrined and capped with Shed 5. a wharf for the people gets the same elevation as a wharf for maritime infrastructure.

What are the reasons for your submission? The proposed extension of Queens Wharf is a hastily developed proposition that is not aligned with the Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Upgrades to the eastern Queens Wharf cruise ship berth to provide for the mooring of cruise ships up to 362m (Oasis Class Vessels) involving construction of two new cruise ship mooring dolphins located at distances of 49m and 82m (to the centres of the dolphins) north of the northern end of Queens Wharf, a gangway connection to Queens Wharf including hydraulic retractable gangway and security gates, strengthening of the southern end of Queens Wharf, seven new additional wharf bollards on the eastern side at the southern end of Queens Wharf, and additional fender clusters on the eastern side at the north end of Queens Wharf.
What are the reasons for your submission? My reasons for objecting to the proposed ‘dolphins’ are: An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata 1 395 Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. We believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use Cost Benefit Analysis methodology correctly. We believe alternative arrangements for these mega- ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? I call for..... Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation. Development of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berthage. Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people.

What are the reasons for your submission? An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these 1 411 features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. We believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use Cost Benefit Analysis methodology correctly. We believe alternative arrangements for these mega-ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation. Development of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berthage. Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Installation of two dolphins onto seabed
What are the reasons for your submission? My reasons for objecting to the proposed ‘dolphins’ are: • An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including Government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. We question whether the Dolphins are, in fact a wharf extension in another name. • Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” • The 1 417 extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to 7 days only a year. There are other options that need to be fully assessed. Permanent changes to the sea bed, harbour and attachments to Queens wharf, are inappropriate solutions for occasional shipping needs. • The Unitary Plan differentiates between the Central Wharves precinct which is geared to combined use by public and passenger vessels, and the Port Precinct, which is much more enabling of different types of vessels, wharf sizes, activities, and no public access. Let’s not compromise the hard fought win for the public to access the central wharves and connect Queens wharf to the city itself for enjoyment by the people of Auckland. • We believe alternative arrangements for these mega-ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously. The Port precinct allows for different types of vessels. • The need for planning around capacity is important rather than ad-hoc responses to requests by operators to come to Auckland. Should the number of large size vessel movements be capped? Economic modelling for this project includes highly speculative passenger and crew spending. Conservative options modelled show only a very modest ( and still speculative) economic return which in my view is heavily outweighed but the long term adverse effects of further harbour encroachment.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? We call for..... • Refusing consent to this application • Ongoing development of Queens Wharf as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people. • Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by establishing a strategy for size of ships and location of cruise terminals, public space and a cohesive approach to the wharves earmarked for public use and enjoyment. • Development of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berths

This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Encroachment of our waterways, environmental impact not properly considered, lack of alignment with long term strategic plans, lack of due process and consultation prior to the Council approval of the application including lack of consideration of viable alternatives
What are the reasons for your submission? Auckland council have approved a plan that none of the Councillors appear to be in favour of without the benefit of alternative submissions and due consideration of viable alternatives
1 419 What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? The council has the opportunity to revisit their decision on the back of the submissions. The number of over-sized ships visiting, or planning to visit, Auckland should not be the only consideration in approving the application to extend Queens Wharf. The environmental impact and consideration of viable alternatives must be subject to due process. Auckland council have been presented with an option by POAL who have a vested interest and therefore a lack of objectivity in presenting any other alternative. The Council heard from POAL and the cruise operators who presented biased arguments fueled by emotive, unsubstantiated economic impact statistics. The proposal has been driven solely by commercial interest with no consideration of the broader impact to the city. Alignment to long term strategic plans must be driven by the Council to ensure that the growth objectives for the city and the businesses that support our economic growth are complimentary.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The proposed is a 90m long extension costing ratepayers $14m with two large 15m x 15m concrete mooring structures that are connected by gangways as a 35 year option to berth oversized cruise ships.
What are the reasons for your submission? Most importantly, the people of Auckland stopped the proposed 92-98m extension of Bledisloe Wharf with a massive people power protest and a fantastic High Court judgement. Our harbour is such a vital urban area enjoyed by the people of Auckland - it should not be played with by the shipping industry. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, connecting the city with the harbour. It is a listed Historic Heritage Structure. Why are we accepting huge vessels that don't fit into our existing wharf 1 423 infrastructure? The economic justification for such a large spend is full of errors, exaggerations and obfuscations. Mayor Goff's pre-election promise was unequivocally no more expansion into the harbour. Recently he has chosen to quote the exaggerated claims of the "windfall" Auckland will reap from the few visits of these mega cruise ships. Total disregard and compromise for the $2m (approx) outstanding piece of Public Art by one of NewZealand foremost artists placed at the end of Queens Wharf.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? No extension to wharf at all - not necessary.

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: All aspects
What are the reasons for your submission? Our reasons for objecting to the proposed ‘dolphins’ are: An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring 1 433 buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. We believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use Cost Benefit Analysis methodology correctly. We believe alternative arrangements for these mega- ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation. Development of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berthage. Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people.

1 437 What are the reasons for your submission? These are not Dolphins, they are massive concrete structures, with large gangways joining them that have little aesthetic and are of no use to the Auckland public and ratepayers. The planned extension stretch into the busiest and most publicly significant part of the Waitemata Harbour. They ignore heritage values and are not aligned with long- term waterfront planning objectives. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council to be our premier waterfront space with outstanding urban design – not further industrialised with concrete and gangways. The potential for mega cruise ships to visit Auckland, 3 - 7 times a year, results in them arriing in the morning and they are gone by the evening. They fill up our inner harbour, physically and visually and are both an eyesore and a significant inconvenience to ferry and other local harbour users. They don’t fit our wharfs and Queens Wharf is not the place for ships of this size The extension will compromise the amenity value of Queens Wharf for Aucklanders for the next 35 years. The proposal puts berthing of a handful of oversized cruise ships operated by international corporations ahead of the people of Auckland and our waterfront. I object to another extension into the Waitemata Harbour – something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election – for a private use and part of an Ad-hoc short-term disconnected planning of our waterfront A total lack of interest in protecting the heritage values of the existing Queens wharf, ferry terminal, ferry infrastructure and associated ticket booths. Poor business case - A focus on enormous cruise ships with six hour turnaround is unlikely to be the market that provides the best economic return – the smaller, luxury cruise ship market is a better fit for Auckland – see also attached economic analysis report. the continued development of Queens Wharf as Auckland’s premier waterfront space - ‘the People’s Wharf’ and the gateway to the harbour for the people of Auckland
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Auckland’s Mana whenua and maritime heritage The continued development of Queens Wharf as Auckland’s premier waterfront space - ‘the People’s Wharf’ and the gateway to the harbour for the people of Auckland. This to included rigorous and integrated long-term waterfront planning and incorporate the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan refreshed in 2019 with wide public input and consultation. The northern berthage of Bledisloe Wharf is done, allowing visits by mega-cruise ships (3-5 a year for a day only) to be alongside Bledisloe Wharf, where mass numbers and provisioning can be better facilitated.

This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: Construction and installation of two mooring dolphins on the sea bed, the gangway connection to Queens Wharf and associated infrastructure
What are the reasons for your submission? My reasons for objecting to the Proposal (Dolphins, gangway and associated infrastructure) are: • The Proposal would significantly impact on public use of our harbour in an area that is already narrow and very busy. • The Proposal is misnamed as it is hardly the installation of a couple of small dolphins but is more akin to a wharf with the effect of significantly restricting access to an area currently enjoyed by the watergoing public. • A 35 year consent is effectively not "temporary" as alleged. Given the length of the proposed consent it is more in the nature of a permanent 1 441 arrangement. • Extensions into the harbour have recently been the subject of public debate and have been rejected by civic leaders and Government Ministers and opposed at the last election. • Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage structure, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. • The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to 7 days only a year. There are other options that need to be fully assessed. Permanent changes to the sea bed, harbour and attachments to Queens wharf, are inappropriate solutions for occasional shipping needs. • The Unitary Plan differentiates between the Central Wharves precinct which is geared to combined use by public and passenger vessels, and the Port Precinct, which is much more enabling of different types of vessels, wharf sizes, activities, and no public access. We must not compromise the hard fought win for the public to access the central wharves and connect Queens wharf to the city itself for enjoyment by the people of Auckland. • We believe alternative arrangements for these mega-ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously. The Port precinct allows for different types of vessels. • The need for planning around capacity is important rather than ad-hoc responses to requests by operators to come to Auckland. Proper account has to be made of the environmental effects of these vessels and in particular their use of heavily polluting bunker oil. • The estimated costings appear to have been downplayed and will almost certainly escalate over time. There is really no benefit for the average ratepaper so it is unacceptable to saddle ratepayers with yet further costs of works which largely benefit a few private businesses in the tourism sector. • Estimated financial benefits are highly speculative and should be significantly discounted. • Overseas experience has shown there is potential for significant degredation to amentity values in encouraging this sort of bulk tourism (high volume/low value) that results in limited public value.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? • Refusing consent to this application • Ongoing development of Queens Wharf as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people. • Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by establishing a strategy for size of ships and location of cruise terminals, public space and a cohesive approach to the wharves earmarked for public use and enjoyment. • Development of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berths

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The extension of Queen's Wharf a further 90 metres into the Waitemata Harbour contrary to Mr Goff's assurances at the time that he was elected Mayor that he was not in favour of any further extension into he harbour. Also the proposed constructions of two dolphins with their associated gangways
What are the reasons for your submission? That this substantial extension in to the harbour is not warranted for a mere 3/7 days use per annum and that the existing arrangements used when The Queen Mary 2 visits Auckland are perfect;y adequate to service these larger ships. I understand that the Majestic Princess recently docked bow south at Princes Wharf and left under her own
1 443 power with no assistance from tugs> To me this shows that the proposed new extension into the harbour with it's associated dolphins is not needed and that to build it would be a waste of ratepayers money.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: the "dolphin" extensions to Queens Wharf
What are the reasons for your submission? My reasons for objecting to the proposed ‘dolphins’ are: While the word dolphin is used, the gangways linking them to the wharf mean they are, ipso facto, an extension to the wharf and prevent any passageway between their end and the wharf. This is the busiest and most publicly significant part of the harbour. The extension is something that current local body leaders and government Ministers all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased from Council owned Ports of Auckland by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront community space, connecting the city with the harbour. The berthing of oversized vessels on Queens Wharf 1 445 industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long- term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. I believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf is subjective and has used exaggerated revenue figures. Historically, Cost Benefit Analysis methodology used to justify projects funded with public money are always flawed and over optimistic. I believe alternative arrangements for these mega-ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? I ask for..... Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation.

What are the reasons for your submission? Auckland is precious. Phil Goff made promises and I marched to stop Port expansion previously. We need to protect our open water spaces We have travelled on overseas cruises where large ships often moor offshore and one tenders into the port. If Monaco can do it, why can't we?

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The proposed "dolphins"
What are the reasons for your submission? An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf” Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these 1 453 features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. We believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use Cost Benefit Analysis methodology correctly. We believe alternative arrangements for these mega-ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously.
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? We call for..... Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation. Development of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berthage. Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people

What are the reasons for your submission? Over the years bit by bit the harbour is slipping through our fingers , it really is a thing of beauty for us lucky enough to live near it and for the sealife within. We need to pause, look ahead, and see where these decicions will lead us. It’s not rocket science but the Dollars and lobbyists seem to keep winning , Auckland and New Zealand is about the people and the environment they live in. Decisions today dictate the future, the harbour needs protecting , I truly believe enough had already been affected . ENOUGH , Auckland Council Please...

Submission details
This submission: opposes the application in whole or in part
Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The proposal, and the assessment of it provided within the following reports: 1) The Consideration of Options Report, especially Setions 4.0 and 5.0. 2)The Design Report, especially Section 3 item 3 "Design Life". 3) Natural Character, Landscape and Visual Amenity Effects Assessment, especially Sections 3.9 and 4.15, and figures 23 and 24. 4) The Economic Report.
What are the reasons for your submission? 1)The Reports discuss the Design life of the Dolphins as being 50 years and the Resource Consent timeframe is requested to be 35 years, but the Consideration of Options Report states that some alternative options (perhaps for a better, permanent home for the cruise ship terminal) may be available in 7 to 10 years' time. There is little emphasis 1 471 placed on achieving a sustainable, long-term solution that meets the objectives of the Auckland Waterfront Plan, Downtown Framework, Central Wharves Strategy and other relevant documents. Health and Safety is stated as a reason against the choice of several alternatives (especially Bledisloe Wharf option and the option for dolphins 'without gangways') but these issues are not specified or discussed in detail. The Queen Mary 2 successfully berthed at Halsey Street, so perhaps some safety improvements to the bulk fuels facilities should have been considered? 2) The Design Report does not appear to consider alternative uses of the Dolphins once they become obsolete. They represent a signficant cost to ratepayers plus a large envrionmental footprint so their long-term use/re-use should be provided for. Future upgrade potential of the wharf (additonal dolphins) is not detailed. The next class of cruise ship may be longer than Oasis Class. Public access or use of the dolphin structures is not considered in the design report. 3) The Natural Character, Landsape and Visual Amenity assesmment report under-values the signficance of the views by people who are either at work or moving through the Waterfront area. Many visitors and other transient viewers, albiet short-term, travel from around the world to experience Auckland's waterfront and many more people worldwide are exposed to it through pictures and videos. These people could be affected more greatly than the author's "moderate sensitivty to change" classification suggests. To demonstrate this point, I quickly researched the average time spent by people when viewing iconic places in other major cities includes (according to Tripadvisor.com visitor duration estimates): - Eiffel Tower: 1.5 hours - Golden Gate Bridge: "Less than 1 hour" - Sydney Opera House (and surrounds): 1 hour to 2 hours. This demonstrates that people may not view the Waitemata Harbour for a long duration, but they would be extremely appreciative of the view, giving it a high signficance. Additionally in the report, I find it unhelpful that there are not more before/after photomontages or even a 3d video showing the proposal. Only four viewpoints have been modelled with before/after photomontages , yet many other viewpoints are described and photographed; this makes assessment much more difficult. 4) The Economic Assessment Report makes some bold assumptions , such as the rapidly increasing frequency of visits by Oasis-class vessels and especially the number of transfers to be expected. These assumptions are fundamental to the Report, but there is a lack of evidence provided to back them up. Assessment of alternatives is not fully explored, including the possibility of Royal Carribbean Line utilising some of its slightly smaller vessels, for example. Approval of this application will logically result in more cruise ship activity occuring on Queen's Wharf, of a larger scale and potentially a much longer timeframe than what is currently experienced or anticipated. There is an opportunity cost to this, i.e a signficant delay in opportuity to develop Queen's Wharf for other purposes, that has not been assessed in the application. Overall I consider that this proposal will result in adverse (cumulative) effects on amenity and public enjoyment of Queen's Wharf and the waterfront over a long time period (up to 35 years), due to the proposed work and to the increased cruise ship activities (ships berthing, passenger services, transport and freight) that it is designed to enable. 35 years is too long to wait for Queen's Wharf to fully redevelop (the Cloud structure has a limited lifespan, too).
What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? 1) Council approve the application with specific conditions relating to the following: -a- Timeframe for application to be reduced from the 35 years sought to 10 years in line with Panuku's own estimate of usefulness. -b- Public access to Queens Wharf and use of the proposed dolphins and gangway be enabled (e.g. by way of safety railings and other upgrades) when not in use by cruise vessels. -c- Economic benefits used as justification for establishing the dolphins be demonstrated. -d- Effects on Queen's Wharf (vehicle movements, occupation of space, public access, amenity) be restricted to current levels. The following further information should be sought:- - A fuller assessment of the effects on the Queen's Wharf environment in light of the effects of larger and more frequent cruise ship visits. The current activities (passenger services/terminal/loading/etc) were deemed acceptable based on lower visitor numbers and smaller vessells than are being enabled by this proposal. - Consideration of option to relocate bulk fuels/dangerous goods from Halsey Street wharf, or to upgrade those facilities, sooner than currently planned. - Economic assessment to include actual forecasted and booked berthage for cruise vessels based on POAL and Cruise Industry data. - Natural Character, Landscape and Visual Amenity assessment Report to fully consider the signficant sensitivity to change experienced by visitors/tourists. - A greater number and variety of before/after panoramas/viewpoints from public places around the Waterfront, including the end of Queen's Wharf and Princes Wharf, because these particular "after" montages seem to have been omitted from the report which gives only a few "proposed" viewpoint photomontages. - The Design Report should be consider re-use of the Dolphins in a different location or for other purposes, namely fora wider range of activities including public viewing platforms, fishing, staging for performances and fireworks displays. Since the Queen's Wharf area is a developing place with emerging character, Council's decision must be made with a clear understanding about the likely or potential environment of Auckland's waterfront as depicted in numerous planning documents and design concepts (for example, Quay Street 'boulevard' and 'Admiralty Basin' in the Downtown Framework).

What are the reasons for your submission? Our reasons for objecting to the proposed ‘dolphins’ are: An unnecessary 90 metre extension into the Waitemata Harbour from Queens Wharf into the busiest and most publically significant part of the harbour - something current political leaders including government Ministers, all opposed at the last election. Queens Wharf was purchased by the Auckland Council and the Government to be our premier waterfront space, our marae atea, connecting the city with the harbour – berthing the oversized vessels on Queens Wharf industrialises and commercialises the “Peoples Wharf”. Queens Wharf is a Cat-1 listed Heritage place, including the views to and from the end of the wharf. The 1 475 mooring buoys and gangway will severely impact these features. A 35 year consent is not for a temporary facility as alleged. “There is nothing more permanent than a temporary structure.” The extension of Queens Wharf with concrete 15m x 15m mooring structures and gangways is an ad-hoc, inappropriate solution to allow mega-cruise ships to dock 3 to7 days only a year. It is not aligned with Council’s long-term waterfront planning objectives as underway in the Central Wharves Strategy that propose Captain Cooks wharf as the prime cruise ship berth. We believe the Market Economics economic report used as justification for extending Queens Wharf has used exaggerated revenue figures and does not use Cost Benefit Analysis methodology correctly. We believe alternative arrangements for these mega- ships should be managed within the existing Port, as the Queen Mary 2 has been accommodated previously. We call for..... Integrated long-term planning of our Waterfront by incorporating the current Waterfront Plan into the City Centre Master Plan with wide public input and consultation. Development of alternatives to the east of Queens Wharf for cruise ship berthage. Queens Wharf developed as a unique, premier waterfront space that showcases Tamaki Makaurau / Auckland’s mana whenua , maritime heritage and celebrates our city and its people.

Specify the aspects of the application you are submitting on: The two mooring dolphins extending into the existing harbour.
What are the reasons for your submission? As a recreational harbour user I am appalled that after all the recent protests against wharf extensions that you intend to do just that. The proposed dolphins will further restrict an already very bust harbour and push existing and future ferry traffic further out into the main stream along with smaller private vessels. Currently the wharf side of the harbour is the only refuge for smaller vessels struggling home against a spring outgoing tide and strong westerly wind. It is misleading to say that these dolphins will have less impact than a solid wharf as I'm sure traffic will not be allowed inside these dolphins and if it is then they will create a dangerous block to vision impairing safe navigation. 1 477 What decisions and amendments would you like the council to make? reconsider placing permanent dolphins into the harbour, Given that these Oasis class ships can maintain location by themselves as evident from recent visits could they not be parked without permanent dolphins?

What are the reasons for your submission? Keep Captain Cook wharf as main cruise berth as originally planned. Extend it if necessary. There are too few cruise ships arriving to warrant extending Queen's wharf. Wait until the whole development of Auckland's waterfront is reconsidered, when containers and cars may, hopefully, be located elsewhere.
