2.3 The Report identifies whether the submission point should be accepted or rejected, in
full or in part, and what amendments, if any, should be made to address matters
raised in the submission.
3. CODE OF CONDUCT
3.1 I confirm that I have read the Code of Conduct for Expert Witnesses contained in the
Environment Court Practice Note 2014 and that I agree to comply with it. I confirm
that I have considered all the material facts that I am aware of that might alter or
detract from the opinions that I express, and that this Report is within my area of
expertise, except where I state that I am relying on the evidence of another person.
4. SCOPE
4.1 I am providing planning evidence in relation to a submission point (6318-2) seeking to
establish a new precinct covering the south western part of Hayman Park, Manukau.
4.2 In preparing this Report I have relied on the Auckland-wide statements of evidence of
John Duguid for Topic 080 and Topic 081 Rezoning and Precincts Geographic
(Topic 080) which sets out the statutory framework, methodology, principles and
section 32 evaluations, used to guide the development and application of zones and
precincts.
4.3 In the alternative to the requested precinct, Te Papa Tongarewa seek that the
relevant area be re-zoned Public Open Space – Community zone. This submission
(6318-2) is addressed in the Council's Joint Evidence Report for Topic 080 Public
Open Space Rezoning.
5. INTERIM GUIDANCE FROM THE PANEL
5.1 I have read the Panel’s Interim Guidance and in particular those relating to:
(a) Chapter G: General Provisions, dated 9 March 2015;
(b) Best practice approaches to re-zoning and precincts, dated 31 July 2015;
(c) Air Quality, dated 25 September 2015; and
(d) Chapter G General Provisions, dated 9 October 2015.

6. APPROACH TO PRECINCTS WITHIN THE PAUP
6.1 The Council’s approach to precincts is detailed in the evidence of Mr Duguid. In
particular, Mr Duguid outlines the Plan structure and the relationship between
overlays, zones, Auckland-wide and precinct provisions. Mr Duguid also provides anoverview of the methodology for applying precincts and the types of precincts
identified in the PAUP. I have read and agree with this evidence.
Section 32 and 32AA
6.2 As outlined in the Auckland Unitary Plan Evaluation Report (the Evaluation Report),
the Council has focussed its section 32 assessment on the objectives and provisions
within the PAUP that represent significant changes in approach from those within the
current operative Auckland RMA policies and plans. Whilst the Evaluation Report
applies to the entire plan, the report targets the 50 topics where the provisions
represent a significant policy shift.
6.3 I have assessed the proposed precinct in accordance with s 32AA in the body of this
Report, commensurate with the limited scale and significance of the changes
proposed.
7. STATUTORY AND PAUP FRAMEWORK
7.1 The general statutory and PAUP framework is detailed in the evidence of Mr Duguid,
dated 3 December 2015. The specific Public Open Space framework is outlined in
the Council’s Joint Evidence Report for Topic 080 Public Open Space Rezoning. In
addition, the provisions of the Regional Policy Statement 2.7 Social Infrastructure that
are relevant in light of the scale and nature of the proposed National Centre are
outlined below.
(a) Specific objectives that relate to social infrastructure include:
1 - A high quality network of Social infrastructure that meets Aucklanders’ needs
both locally and regionally.
2 - Social infrastructure is located where it is accessible by a range of transport
modes.
(b) Specific policies that relate to Social infrastructure include:
2 - Provide Auckland with sufficient Social infrastructure to meet the needs of its
growing population (sub-points (a) to (d) are not repeated here).
-

3 - Enable the efficient use of land and facilities by providing for complementary
activities to occur on Social infrastructure sites.
4 - Improve connections between Social infrastructure and public transport, cycling
and walking networks.
5 - Manage the transport effects of large scale Social infrastructure in an integrated
manner.
6 - Require Social infrastructure to:
a - be safe and functional for its users
b - be sympathetic to the character, both existing and future, of the area and
community in which it is located
c - incorporates the principles of sustainable building design
d - maintain the amenity of any adjoining streets and sites.
Designations, Overlays and other Spatial controls
7.2 The following overlays apply to the proposed precinct area:
(a) Vehicle access restriction – motorway interchange control
(b) Designation 1102 – Airspace Restriction Designation
(c) Auckland Airport – Moderate Aircraft Noise area
(d) Building frontage – General Commercial Frontage
(e) Air Quality Transport Corridor Separation over part of the south-western
corner of Hayman Park
(f) Heavy Industry Air Quality – Wiri, Sensitive Activity Restriction
(g) Manukau City Waitemata Aquifer
(h) High use stream management area
(i) Stormwater management area – Flow 2.
7.3 The precinct does not propose to override the overlays or spatial controls listed at
7.2(a) to 7.2(h) above.
-
8/20/2019 080 Ak Cncl - Public Open Space - Hayman Park Precinct (D Wong) - Planning

7.4 However, the precinct does not specify a maximum impervious area, and uncertainty
exists whether the precinct would seek to override the Stormwater management area
– Flow 2 overlay. A maximum impervious area above 10% or 5000m2 for the
underlying Public Open Space – Informal recreation zone triggers a restricted
discretionary assessment of the potential consequences of this, and allows
appropriate mitigation options to be assessed.
7.5 I consider that the overlays and other spatial controls applying to the proposed
precinct area provide an additional layer of management and control but do not
significantly restrict the ability to develop the proposed National Centre.
PART B –
PRECINCT CONTEXT AND SUBMISSION THEMES
8. CONTEXT
8.1 This proposed new precinct is located at the south western part of Hayman Park,
Manukau and comprises about four hectares. The precinct location is shown in
Attachment B.
8.2 The precinct proposes specific controls to recognise and manage the individual
characteristics and the environmental issues within this area.
8.3 The underlying zoning of land in the precinct is Public Open Space – Informal
Recreation.
8.4 The following designations, overlays and spatial controls apply to the proposed
precinct area:
(a) Vehicle access restriction – motorway interchange control
(b) Designation 1102 – Airspace Restriction Designation
(c) Auckland Airport – Moderate Aircraft Noise area
(d) Building frontage – General Commercial Frontage
(e) Air Quality Transport Corridor Separation over part of the south-western
corner of Hayman Park
(f) Heavy Industry Air Quality – Wiri, Sensitive Activity Restriction

(g) Manukau City Waitemata Aquifer
(h) High use stream management area
(i) Stormwater management area – Flow 2.
8.5 The proposed precinct area is located on Hayman Park adjoining the Manukau
Metropolitan Centre zone to the north, east and south. The surrounding area is
characterised by a mix of retail, office and apartments. Located to the south is the
Manukau Institute of Technology’s campus, housing the Manukau train station.
8.6 There is a signed letter of agreement (dated 5 September 2013) by the Minister for
Arts, Culture and Heritage; Auckland Mayor; Te Papa Board Chair; and the Chair of
the Otara-Papatoetoe Local Board setting out their agreement to work jointly to
explore and advance the development of a national cultural centre to be located in
South Auckland.
8.7 The Council has agreed in principle to make between two to four hectares of land
within Hayman Park available for the development of a new museum and storage
facility.
8.8 Some initial general concept designs that show the location of the proposed
development were prepared, but are subject to revision in response to consultation.The timing of the development has been adversely impacted by a decision by
Cabinet not to proceed with funding in the current financial year. While Te Papa has
advised that they intend to proceed; the nature, size, detailed location and timing of
development has not been resolved.
9. PRECINCT SUBMISSION THEMES
9.1 One submission point (6318-2) by Te Papa Tongarewa has been received requesting
the inclusion of a precinct overlay over the south western part of Hayman Park to
accommodate the proposed National Centre. No further submissions were received.
9.2 Informal discussions were held on the 19 October 2015 between the Council and Mr
Mark Vinall, the Planning Consultant for Te Papa Tongarewa, to seek further
information to support the precinct. On 30 October 2015, draft provisions for the
proposed Te Papa Manukau Precinct were provided to the Council.
9.3 The draft provisions included new objectives, policies, activity table, and development
controls seeking exemptions to the height in relation to boundary, yards, screening,

and gross floor area threshold controls for the Public Open Space zones in the
PAUP.
10. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF PRECINCT
SUBMISSIONS
10.1 There are no proposed amendments outside the scope of submissions.
PART C: ANALYSIS OF NEW PRECINCTS
11. MERIT ASSESSMENT OF NEW PRECINCT REQUESTS
11.1 I have conducted a merit assessment of the proposed new Te Papa Manukau
precinct to determine whether I support the submission point (6318-2) by Te Papa
Tongarewa. The precinct content (set out in Attachment C) was received following
the Council’s request for additional information to support the submission point
requesting a new precinct. My merit assessment is contained in Attachment D.
11.2 I do not support the proposed new precinct, because it provides for all of the activities
associated with the National Centre as permitted activities, with very permissive
development controls. Consequently, the provisions (i.e. activity statuses, controls
and assessment criteria) do not provide sufficient certainty to the Council that the
adverse effects related to the following matters can be adequately addressed or
mitigated:
development design
external appearance
landscaping
stormwater
screening of refuse collection areas
effects of the proposal on public access to, and use of Hayman Park.
11.3 My concerns regarding the lack of controls over these matters is exacerbated by the
lack of detailed, finalised plans for the National Centre, which is perhaps inevitable
with a project at this stage of its development.

11.4 In addition, the new precinct would have an underlying Public Open Space – Informal
Recreation zone. The provisions of the precinct would be inconsistent with the
provisions of the underlying zone, contrary to the IHP's Interim Guidance Best
practice approaches to re-zoning and precincts.
11.5 The Council remains open to working with the submitter to resolve the matters
outlined above, to the extent that this may be presently possible.
11.6 Having regard to my merit assessment, I note that, in the absence of a precinct, a
possible alternative is that the Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage could lodge a
notice of requirement to designate land on Hayman Park for the National Centre.
The nature and scope of the proposal could be controlled through conditions imposed
on the designation. However, the Minister would be required to take on financially
responsibility for the designation.
12. CONSEQUENTIAL AMENDMENTS TO OTHER PARTS OF THE PAUP
12.1 There are no consequential amendments to other parts of the PAUP as a result of my
evidence.
13. CONCLUSIONS
13.1 I have considered the submission point (6318-2) by Te Papa Tongarewa seeking a
new precinct on the south western part of Hayman Park, Manukau. In my opinion,
the precinct provisions i.e. controls and assessment criteria do not provide sufficient
certainty to the Council that matters including urban design, landscaping, and
stormwater, and effects on Hayman Park; can be adequately addressed and adverse
effects mitigated. A possible alternative could be to designate land on Hayman Park
to enable the development of the National Centre for Collections, Learning and
Exhibitions.

As addressed in the Council’s Joint Evidence Report
for Topic 080 Public Open Space Rezoning, the
request by Te Papa Tongarewa (submission point
6318-1) to rezone the south western part of Hayman
Park from Public Open Space – Informal Recreation
to Public Open Space – Community to provide for
the National Centre is not supported by the Council
due to:
uncertainty regarding the nature, size, detailed
location and timing of the proposal
lack of detailed analysis to determine the effects
on Hayman Park or local area of enabling a
broader range of activities envisage by the
Public Open Space - Community zone.
Conclusion
The new precinct is not supported as:
its provisions i.e. controls and assessment criteria do not provide sufficient certainty to the
Council that matters including urban design, landscaping, and stormwater, and effects on
