Introduction

1.1

Overview

The City Rail Link (CRL) project comprises the construction, operation and maintenance of a 3.4 km underground passenger railway, running between Britomart Station and the North Auckland Rail Line (NAL).

CRL Enabling Works commenced in December 2015 and the procurement of the main works contract (C3 Alliance) is being progressed with contract award likely in the second quarter of 2019. To allow works to commence as soon as possible upon award of the Contract 3 - C3 Alliance Construction Contractor, City Rail Link Limited (CRLL) are obtaining the necessary authorisations for the demolition of buildings in the Karangahape Road construction support area (CSA) and active construction zone (ACZ), shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1 Karangahape Road Active Construction Zone and Construction Support Area

The demolition works necessary to create the Karangahape Road (“K-Road”) CSAs and ACZ constitutes the Project, the subject of this Delivery Work Plan (DWP). This DWP has been prepared

by Aurecon New Zealand Limited (Aurecon). It forms part of the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the Project being one of the environmental management tools to control and mitigate potential adverse social effects associated with the Project’s construction.

The Social Impact and Business Disruption DWP (SIBD DWP) outlines specific measures for the affected community (parties by proximity). Cross reference with other DWPs which outline mitigation measures for issues such as dust, noise, traffic, access and parking is provided.

This report follows the recommended structure and content of the draft outline Social Impact and Business Disruption Delivery Work Plan provided during the CRL Notice of Requirement hearing1.

1.2

Objective of the Social Impact and Business Disruption Delivery Work Plan

The objective of this SIBD DWP is to describe the measures which will be undertaken to avoid, remedy or mitigate the adverse effects of the Project arising from disruption to businesses, residents and community so far as reasonably practicable.

It identifies mitigation measures that will be undertaken with regards to the following potential adverse social impact and business disruption effects:

▪ ▪

Disruption to access;

▪ ▪

Loss of amenity for residents and businesses because of demolition activities; and

Disruption effects that result or are likely to result in the loss of customers to businesses because of demolition activities;

Disturbance to affected parties by proximity (i.e. noise and vibration, traffic/access, dust).

As required under CRL designation condition 61.6, the SIBD DWP will be implemented throughout the entire demolition period and for up to 12 months following the completion of the Project if required. It will be the primary tool for the Project’s management of social impacts and business disruption.

An Independent Peer Review (IPR) has been completed prior to submission to Auckland Council, in compliance with CRL designation condition 61.7.

With respect to the requirements of CRL designation condition 61.8, an annual report will be prepared

by CRLL on the identification, monitoring, evaluation and management of the effects outlined in the SIBD DWP and supported by a summary of matters raised by the community and responses and actions undertaken.

A Project Communication and Consultation Plan (CCP) has been prepared for the Project (Appendix K of the Project CEMP). The SIBD DWP should be read in conjunction with the CCP, and the other DWPs appended to the CEMP as referred to in Table 1-1. The CCP is an integral part of the relationship process for the Project’s stakeholder groups ensuring positive engagement and support is maintained throughout the demolition works. This will be achieved by minimising disruption, ensuring the affected communities and the wider public are well informed, involved in the process, feel safe, and that feedback, queries and complaints are responded to within the allocated timeframes.

This SIBD DWP has been prepared and informed by consultation with the affected community (the directly affected in proximity parties) consisting of residents, property owners, business owners/operators located on: Canada Street, Mercury Lane, Cross Street, Karangahape Road (from 238 – 312) and South Street. An Engagement Plan is provided at Appendix A and confirms the affected community with whom consultation was sought. The SIBD DWP preparation timeframe was between 11th February – 14th March 2019 with emails or letters (where no email was available) advising of the Project and seeking an interview was issued to stakeholders on 4th February 2019. In addition, members of the engagement team reached out to stakeholders either by emailing, phoning or premise drop ins over the engagement period to confirm appointments or gain insight depending on stakeholders’ availability/time constraints. These follow ups were undertaken to ensure that as many of the affect parties as possible were given the opportunity to provide input to the SIBD DWP. All engagement meetings were attended by the main author of this DWP (Rochelle Hardy) and Louise Strogen and/or Briony Hill who were part of the SIBD DWP engagement team, along with either Sonya Leahy, CRLL Stakeholder Communications Manager, or Aidan Kirkby-McLeod, CRLL Senior Planner, or another representative from the CRLL planning team over various dates within this time period, depending on availability of the stakeholder.

Project Description

2.1

Project Context

As indicated in Section 1, the size of the CRL project means that various packages of enabling works are separated into several smaller construction contracts. The CRL project consists of five distinct ACZs which are supported by five CSAs. ACZs are the locations where the physical CRL infrastructure is to be constructed. CSA are locations required to support construction activities. The ACZ described in this DWP is in relation to ACZ K1 and K4 (Mercury Lane shaft and entrance building). ACZ K1 and K4 are supported by CSA 3.

The Project is necessary to construct the CRL in this location, including the new underground rail lines and K-Road Station.

The CRL works in this location have been identified as being on the overall CRL project's critical path, therefore, CRLL are obtaining the necessary authorisations for the required building demolition in order to allow works to commence as soon as possible upon award of the C3 Alliance.

2.2

Demolition Works

Demolition works involve the removal of all buildings and structures to ground level across six sites

identified in in and listed in Table 2-1. All properties within the identified area are authorised for demolition under CRLL’s designation.

Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax I ARUP

11 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

Except for the Mercury Plaza site at 23-31 Mercury Lane and 38 East Street, discussed below, all other properties included in the Project area were purchased by Auckland Transport (AT) for the purposes of the CRL project and are currently under CRLL’s management.

CRLL has completed negotiations with the owner of Mercury Plaza (23-31 Mercury Lane and 38 East Street) for this site to be occupied by the contractor to support construction activities for the duration of the CRL project works and to demolish the existing structures on the site. This land will be returned to the owner at the end of the project for future development.

Partial demolition of the structures at 16D, 16E and 18 East Street is also required. CRLL has commenced negotiations with the owners to temporarily vacate the buildings for a short period. This will allow for demolition of that part of the building required to be removed, and the remaining structure to be made fit for purpose. These two properties will undergo an engineering assessment so that specific demolition methodologies can be developed.

CRLL plan to commence the process of vacating the properties in the third quarter of 2019. This will be done to ensure that all properties are vacant in reasonable time ahead of the planned disconnection of services and so that comprehensive asbestos studies can be undertaken.

Dismantling of buildings will primarily be carried out using a large excavator with a pulveriser or shear attachment, crane, and hand tools. A concrete saw and small excavator mounted concrete breaker will be used to remove foundations where required, and where not practicable to crush with a pulveriser attachment. Demolition includes the provision of all precautionary safety measures, screens, scaffoldings, hoardings, covered walkways and the like, for carrying out the demolition work.

The specialist demolition contractor engaged to carry out the works will develop a demolition plan or method statement for each of the individual structures covered under this methodology prior to commencing the work as outlined in the HSE Approved Code of Practice for Demolition.

Demolition will be undertaken in a staged manner, the order of which is to be confirmed by the C3 Alliance. A likely scenario is the buildings at the northern end of the site would be removed first with works progressing southward. All buildings and structures will be removed to ground level, with the retention of some existing foundations where necessary for site stability. A soft strip of salvageable materials will be carried out where possible. All demolition material will be removed from the Project area and disposed of at approved facilities.

The Project area will be fenced, with lockable gates, to prevent unauthorised entry. Where appropriate, solid plywood fencing will be used, with appropriate signage prohibiting unauthorised entry and identifying hazards.

2.3

Programme

Piling and earthworks for the CRL project are expected to commence in late 2019/early 2020 and the demolitions are required to be completed ahead of this to allow for the contractor’s mobilisation of heavy plant and equipment. Based on this timeframe, the Project is anticipated to commence late 2019.

It is expected that the demolitions will require approximately 8-12 weeks to complete based on CRLL’s current understanding of underground services and building conditions. Should additional complexity be encountered during the Project, then the Project duration may extend beyond 12 weeks.

The site preparation and demolition sequence for a typical site is summarised as follows and detailed in the CEMP:

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

Site fencing/hoarding (prior to main demolition works).

▪

Levelling the site (post demolition).

Protection of adjacent structures (4 weeks).

Salvage of materials (4 weeks).

Demolition, including foundations and the removal and disposal of all demolished material (12 weeks).

As confirmed at Section 2 of the CEMP a demolition plan will be developed in accordance with the Health and Safety Work Act 2015 (Asbestos) Regulations, 2016 and the Approved Code of Practice on the Management and removal of Asbestos. The C3 Alliance will be responsible for the preparation of site-specific demolition plans including the necessary assessment for asbestos containing materials and any necessary asbestos management plan.

2.4

Hours of Operation

Works will generally be undertaken between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm Monday to Friday, and 7:00 am to 2:00 pm Saturday.

Designation conditions require that noise and vibration limits are adhered to, which generally restrict noise and vibration generating activity to between 0700 and 2200 (designation conditions 31 to 35).

The CNV DWP notes that, although no night-time works are programmed, if night works are required guidance on suitable management measures shall be sought from the Specialist Noise and Vibration Advisor.

2.5

Construction Workforce and Parking

The workforce is anticipated to be small and will vary through the work stages but at most 20 – 30 staff will service the Project. Additional subcontractor workforce such as traffic management and utilities staff will attend the site intermittently.

The demolition area has sufficient hardstand area to allow for the establishment of temporary office, ablution, and dayroom facilities. The specialist contractor will establish these on site prior to any demolition works commencing.

Workforce shifts will generally begin prior to the morning commuter peak and finish after the evening commuter peak. The TAP DWP indicates that travel demand management practices such as car sharing and staff shuttles are not expected to be necessary or effective.

14 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

As the demolition works are expected to commence at the northern extent of the area, the project workforce will have access to existing hardstand area within 9a, 9b and 9c Mercury Lane which provides sufficient car parking provision for 10 – 15 staff. The workforce will also have access to the existing off-street parking spaces elsewhere within the vacated properties. The TAP DWP indicates that this is sufficient for the anticipated demolition workforce. Should additional car parking be required for the demolition workforce, the adjacent Wilson car park on Cross Street caters for 600 cars and provides early bird rates.

Consequently, use of on-street parking for staff associated with the proposed works should not occur.

Social Environment

The following section provides an overview of the social, cultural and business context in within the stakeholder engagement area. The aim of this section is to provide an overview of the community that may be affected by the demolition works.

3.1

Project Area Demographic Profile

With respect to the 2013 Census3, the Project Area and Affected Party Area (as defined at Appendix A) is located within Mesh blocks 0412000, 0412100, 0412200. The relevant mesh block areas are shown in Figure 3-1 below.

16 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

According to 2013 Census4 mesh block information, an estimated 444 people live in 132 households within the immediate area of the Project5. Based on interviews approximately 180 residents are located at George Court. These numbers correlate to the apartment living and smaller, standalone rentals within the area.

The population split between 60% male and 40% female residents.

Residential properties are scattered throughout the area with largest concentrations at George Court on the corner of K-Road and Mercury Lane. Several residential properties are also located on East Street comprising a mixture of units, approximately two large properties and flats. The demographic across these properties is varied with a mix of rental properties and owner/occupier properties.

Several residents also work from home and two interviewees reside and live in the area.

The residential population appears from the Census data to be relatively transient with people living in the area for 4 years or less and approximately one third living in the area for less than a year.

The residential population typically consists of renting working-aged couples, with a median age of 33 years and over half of respondents indicated being in full time employment. This was consistent with information gained during interviews.

While the ethnic demographic of the Project area based on the Census data is predominantly European, the wider population appears to be a largely migrant community. Approximately two thirds of respondents overseas born, and just under one third of these respondents indicated they have lived in NZ for less than 10 years.

3.2

Project Area Business Profile

The project area comprises a broad range of activities and supports both day and night activities. The business sector within proximity to the Project site is varied as evidenced by the K-Road Business Association’s list of 600 members6. A change in business type is evident in the wider area with more contemporary cafes opening on K-Road and a cluster of art galleries near East Street.

Properties located on K-Road are predominantly food and beverage outlets with several speciality stores including a second-hand clothing store, vaping merchandise, Chinese Health Centre and two convenience stores. Three ground floor properties were vacant at the time of the site visits and one building was for sale. Two sites were undergoing refurbishment. It is understood that some of the properties also provide residential accommodation on the first-floor level. The corner sites on K-Road / East Street are currently leased to art galleries. With three separate art galleries and spaces located in 312 K-Road and 292-300 K-Road.

Two commercial properties (270 K-Road and 292-300 K-Road) were sold during the consultation period. Both agents’ websites described the CRL Station Development as a positive attribute to business in the area: On 292-300 K-Road: It’s a block away from City Rail Link’s planned Karangahape station, in what will become a sought-after location with station’s expected completion in 2024…. … the nearby new City Rail Link station is set to become the catalyst for K Rd’s next regeneration, with most of the surrounding area zoned for more intensive use…. The planned Karangahape Station on Mercury Lane will be a short walk away. A laneway

between Mercury Lane and East St will enhance the connectivity of the station to the adjoining precinct west of its entrance On 270 K-Road: To the rear of the property is a laneway off Mercury Lane which will border the entranceway to the K Rd CRL station…. There is no doubt that the advent of the new station will further enhance the rejuvenation and intensification of activities in this part of K Rd which will benefit surrounding property owners.

Activities in East Street are more mixed with residential units, home-based occupations, an electric bike shop and a range of specialist businesses. A number of these – such as European Motors – provide services that support the local area.

Similarly, Mercury Lane and Cross Street support a range of activities and the highest concentration of residents in the Project area with George Court apartment complex and mixed-used occupancies at 1 Cross Street. A Wilsons carpark is located on Cross Street and provides parking for several businesses in the area with some businesses leasing staff car parks.

There has been an increase in spending in the area with growth in the cafes, restaurants and takeaways sector. Several stakeholders who have operated businesses or owned property in the area for longer than 15 years commented on the significant changes that have occurred in the area, noting that ‘less desirable’ people still frequent the area.

The creative industries are strong in the Karangahape Road area. There is a strong presence of visual arts, performing arts, design, advertising and music from both established and up-and-coming artist.

October-December is the busiest quarter for the greatest share of businesses, followed by January to March7. The busiest time of day across weekdays and weekends is midday to 2pm. Weekends tend to be busier for businesses with peaks periods having 50+ customers for the largest share of businesses (35%). By comparison, the largest share on weekdays (27%) has between 20 and 49 customers8.

K-Road has an active and effective business association with 600 members. The K-Road Business Association is an incorporated society whose aim is to foster the economic development of the KRoad precinct. It delivers a programme of marketing and events, networking opportunities and advocacy to local bodies. The K-Road Business Association is also a partner with Auckland Council in its city-wide Business Improvement Programme (BID Programme).

Observations to date indicate that this is an area of turnover, although there are some long standing operations.

3.3

Local Community Planning

There are several statutory and non-statutory plans and policies that provide a high-level context for the Project. Strategies, plans and policies prepared by the community (or with input from the local community) can provide a good indication of the social matters of importance to them and of any key community aspirations. The most relevant for the Project area is the Karangahape Road Plan 20142044.

Development of the K-Road Plan 2014-20449 was led by the Waitematā Local Board in collaboration with the K-Road Business Association. The purpose of the K-Road Plan is to provide a planning framework to guide growth and change in the K-Road area over the next 30 years.

CRL station is considered a catalyst to change and a major urban transformation project that will help deliver projects and improvements to the K-Road area. The Plan has prioritised actions and outcomes with the delivery of the CRL and new train station in K-Road area.

The Plan supports the wider vision for Auckland becoming the world’s most liveable city. At a local level this is to be achieved by developing K-Road as a safe and well-connected place that offers a range of housing and employment generating activities connected to a resilient public transport network, celebrates and protects its distinctive historical and cultural heritage and reinforces its role as the colourful entertainment and creative fringe of the city centre. This plan identifies six key moves (focus areas) which guide how the area could respond to the challenges and opportunities facing the area.

Promotion of the CRL station at K-Road is one of the six key moves. The Plan states that CRL and new train station at K-Road have significant benefits in terms of connection to the rest of the city, place-making and development opportunities. As such, the Project will facilitate the delivery of the CRL project and aligns with the aspirations and outcomes sought in the K-Road Plan.

K-Road Enhancement Project

The K-Road Enhancement Project is a joint project between AT and Auckland Council. The focus is retaining the street’s unique character and life while supporting change. Proposed enhancements include walking and cycling facilities along and around K-Road.

A meeting was held with AT’s engagement team on 11 February 2019. AT noted that the project is anticipated to commence early 2019 at Ponsonby Road with works occurring near the Project area between March and October 2020. This will be confirmed once AT releases its staging proposal. They indicated that starting at the opposite end would avoid simultaneous project work.

Staging for the K-Road Enhancement Project is in twelve sections and each stage is expected to take two months. The upgrades will include relocating or building new kerbs, installation of new bins, bicycle racks and seating, new street lighting and rain gardens and tree pits.

Submissions on the project have been generally supportive, however, issues such as parking restraints and the disruptive nature of infrastructure construction have been raised. AT is working with the K-Road Business Association to development targeted engagement with businesses. The K-Road

Business Association is also working with local businesses to ensure they have developed resilience business initiatives to address any disruption during construction.

Coordination between parties on communications / business support initiatives is recommended to alleviate potential business disruption. AT supported this approach.

CRL NOR Social Impact Assessment

4.1

Summary of Social Impact Assessment

A Social Impact Assessment (SIA) 10 was prepared as one of the suite of technical reports to inform the assessment of environmental effects (AEE) for the original Notices of Requirement (NoR) for the CRL. The purpose of this NoR SIA was to provide an assessment of the likely social consequences (benefits and dis-benefits) that may arise because of the CRL project.

The SIA was informed by a literature review and policy context review, coupled with feedback from the community and stakeholder consultation process undertaken by AT. The latter included consultation carried out previously by KiwiRail and the Auckland Regional Transport Authority.

A review of other technical assessments prepared to support the AEE for the NoR (e.g. noise and vibration, air quality, traffic and transport) relevant to potential social impacts was also undertaken. AT is working with the K-Road Business Association to develop targeted engagement with business.

The NoR SIA identified four potential areas of adverse social effect arising from the construction of the CRL:

▪

That the loss or disturbance of community facilities and social services because of the proposed works could disrupt people’s way of life and community cohesion;

▪

That severance between communities, facilities, residents and businesses, particularly during construction, could impact on people’s way of life and community cohesion;

▪

That the physical impacts of construction works could impact on people’s health and wellbeing (e.g. due to nuisance or disturbance from construction noise, vibration or other discharges, or from the uncertainty/frustration arising from changes in accessibility for people living and working in the areas affected by construction activity); and

▪

That there are impacts on individual tenants and landowners, resulting from issues associated with property purchase, relocation and/or displacement.

The NoR SIA provides the broad scope of potential impact across the entire CRL project area. The SIBD DWP has tested and expanded upon these findings via direct engagement with potential affected parties and observations on site.

The NoR SIA, through social profiles and site visits, identified the social environment within which the CRL would be constructed and operate. It had regard to the existing transport network and the demographic cross-section of inner-city Auckland.

The NoR SIA also characterised the land uses adjoining and within the CRL designation footprint as: commercial and office buildings; apartments and visitor accommodation; warehouses and storage facilities; entertainment centres and restaurants; civic buildings and community centres; and residential accommodation. This is generally consistent with K-Road Project area; however, a mixeduse environment is more evident in the area south of K-Road. By contrast, the K-Road area has predominantly food and beverage outlets, convenience stores and retail activities. A small agglomeration of art galleries is also located at the western edge of the Project area.

21 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

A summary of the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) identified that the adverse temporary effects all relate to the management of the existing road transport network during construction. The key adverse temporary effects include disruptions or inconvenience to:

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

Emergency service vehicles; Bus operators and users (private and public); Private vehicles; Couriers and delivery vehicles; Freight vehicles; and Cyclists and pedestrians.

These potential effects were related to temporary road closures and a reduction in lanes resulting in a reduction in road network capacity, restriction in access to private properties and businesses due to works occurring within the road reserve, and the movement of construction vehicles to and from the construction site. These are discussed in further detail in sections 5 and 6 of this report.

The Project area is located within the footprint of CRL designation 4 and the SIA noted that the most commonly occurring land use in this area is food establishments on K-Road and in the Mercury Plaza food court. Other activities identified included the Green Party headquarters for Auckland Central and a ‘commercial’ event facility and identified heritage building (Mercury Theatre). The Green Party office has since relocated.

The NoR SIA did not identify any key land uses or community facilities within or adjoining the CRL designation within the Project works subject to this DWP. However, the following were identified during site visits:

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

NZ Prostitutes Collective, 2 Canada Street Great Wall Health Centre, 238 Karangahape Road Aido Trust, 12 East Street Congregational Church of Jesus, 3-7 East Street (now vacated) Cross Street Markets (Street Markets from Thursday to Saturday), 2 Cross Street.

The NoR SIA indicates that once operational, the CRL would facilitate a modal choice change from private car to public transport use with a decrease in road congestion as well as providing the opportunity to stimulate economic development and the regeneration of the city centre area which would enhance community well-being.

The NoR SIA concluded that the majority of actual or potential adverse effects associated with the CRL project would occur during the period up to11 and during surface construction works being undertaken. Effects associated with construction were:

▪

Potential impacts on people’s well-being particularly during construction due to physical environment effects, such as noise and vibration.

▪

Potential disruption to people’s way of life and community cohesion by works affecting access and the presence of physical barriers.

▪ ▪

Potential visual impact leading to perception of severance and inaccessibility and reduced safety.

22 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

The NoR SIA considered that the most effective method for mitigating the adverse effects of the Project is regular and ongoing communication and liaison with those affected parties to provide certainty (where able). This SIBD DWP expands on this and recommends specific mitigation based on stakeholder engagement.

4.2

Summary of Submissions from Original NOR

A review of the public submissions on the NoR revealed seven affected properties within the Project area that made a submission, including:

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

238 Karangahape Road; 246 Karangahape Road; 256 Karangahape Road; 15-19 East Street; 18 East Street; 2 Canada Street; 30 Mercury Lane.

The nature of the submissions by the affected parties pertain to effects on visual amenity, character and built heritage values, noise, vibration and construction effects, induced traffic congestion and effect on transportation linkages, design, risks of access to property and businesses (both pedestrian and vehicles), and the consequential potential loss of income and services.

The George Court Building Body Corp. raised concerns about the potential for noise pollution from the proposed ventilation shaft in Mercury Lane. The now vacant Equippers Church requested noise limits to be established on Sundays.

A common theme raised by several submissions was the desire for timely and informative communications throughout the duration of the CRL project.

Consultation and Engagement

5.1

Introduction

This SIBD DWP has been prepared through engagement and consultation with the community (business and residential) located immediately adjacent the Project area to understand how the works may potentially disrupt residents and individual businesses/services (staff and customers) as well as any specific access requirements.

All engagement meetings were attended by the main author of this DWP (Rochelle Hardy) and Louise Strogen and/or Briony Hill who were part of the SIBD DWP engagement team, along with either Sonya Leahy, CRLL Stakeholder Communications Manager, or Aidan Kirkby-McLeod, CRLL Senior Planner, or another representative from the CRLL planning team.

5.2

Establishing an Affected Area

The approach taken by this DWP was to profile and scope the works area with a property search and site visits, a review of technical assessments that had been prepared for the CRL NoR; relevant consultation and feedback received to date (including public submissions on the NoR) from properties within the Project area, and the output of other DWP workstreams.

Considering the social context and key potential social effects associated with the Project (supported through the assessments undertaken as part of the other DWPs and Management Plans, the TAP DWP and CNV DWP), the scope of this SIBD DWP has been refined to those properties ‘in proximity’ of the works and potential traffic routes to and from the site as well as the two properties which will be directly affected with demolition of structures within their rear yards. The output from this work was an Engagement Map provided at Appendix A, which identified:

▪ ▪ ▪

Directly affected parties; Affected parties by proximity; and Neighbouring uses and activities.

This has been used as the basis for the necessary engagement associated with the preparation of this DWP and confirmed by further site visits and observations made.

While not considered to be directly affected by the works, consultation with a representative of the KRoad Business Association took place to gauge impact on the business community within the Project area and ensure that any assumptions around the scope of affected parties were correct.

5.3

The Project’s Affected Area and Community

The owners and occupiers likely to be affected by the Project construction works are shown in Figure 5.1 and listed in Table 5-2 below. This is broken into three general areas based on the proximity of the property to demolition works. Property owners and businesses in the demolition area have been engaged with separately by CRLL.

28 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

To ensure a collaborative approach to the development of this DWP, a summary of the SIBD DWP draft recommendations were circulated to the K-Road CLG on 13th March 219. The SIBD DWP main author attended the CLG meeting which took place on 28th March 2019. Matters raised by attendees which relate to social impact and business disruption were recorded, as presented in Table A, Appendix B. In addition, a copy of the Draft SIBD DWP was made available to the K-Road CLG and those parties with whom SIBD DWP had taken place on request. Any comments/feedback received from these parties are documented in Table B, Appendix B. Ongoing updates and information relating to the Project will be provided via scheduled CLG meetings throughout the duration of the Project, with the Project period commencing with the appointment of the C3 Alliance contractor. A CLG will take place at least 4 weeks prior to demolition works commencing to confirm the start date and those matters listed at section 6.1 below. CRL designation condition 7.7 requires a CLG take place at least every three months once construction has commenced.

5.4

Engagement with Affected Parties

The purpose of the engagement programme was twofold.

First was to establish relations with the Project community on which to build throughout the demolition works. Where possible a member of the CRLL team was present at the meetings.

Secondly, it was to obtain feedback from parties on the matters identified in the CRL designation condition 61.3, i.e. the type and scale of disruption, specific access and servicing requirements, and client and visitor behaviour and requirements.

To ensure a level of consistency from the engagement interviews, a series of questions were asked, with copies of the four types of questionnaires (Business, Body Corporate, Residential, Property Owner) provided at Appendix C. The intent of the questionnaire approach was to stimulate discussion around how properties or parts thereof are currently used and any specific issues that may arise because of the Project.

These conversations also provided a means by which to confirm whether the potential social impacts identified in the NoR SIA remain valid in the current social environment and for the current Project.

The issues raised during engagement were consistent with those identified in the NoR SIA. Recurring themes and issues were access restrictions and parking loss, noise and dust.

▪

Several businesses (i.e. retailers and Wilsons Car Park) were concerned that potential business disruption could lead to perception of severance and inaccessibility.

▪

Stakeholders located on K-Road were not concerned about the demolition effects on access and severance.

▪

Effects of dust were a concern for most people and a concern for businesses in Cross Street and Mercury Lane due to their experience with wind-tunnelling in this area.

▪

Stakeholder engagement also confirmed that noise and vibration would be a concern. Several businesses in East Street undertake activities that are particularly sensitive to noise (Uno Loco Events, International Earth Sciences, David De Noise). The Art Galleries at 312K Road which front East street were also concerned with potential for dust.

▪

Several stakeholders noted that the development would bring positive effects acting as a catalyst for activity in the area, more customer and better travel options for staff.

Engagement meetings were not limited to the questionnaire list, the questionnaires generated discussion on a range of matters including site specific issues. This process also allowed stakeholders to ask questions and seek clarity on timeframes and potential mitigation.

There were recurring questions during engagement; commonly asked questions were:

▪ ▪ ▪

What are the timeframes for demolition?

When does construction of the station start?

What underground works will be required?

In addition, there were requests for ongoing information and clarity around any pre-commencement building surveys.

The K-Road Business Association encouraged attendance at local events to engage directly with the community as the Project progresses and as further information is made available.

The key issues raised by the affected parties in response to the questions are detailed in Table 5-3.

Unless stated otherwise, all stakeholders have been added to the CRL Newsletter circulation list.

Implementation Plan

6.1

Introduction

Social impact and business disruption effects will be mitigated through the suite of Project Delivery Work Plans (DWPs) and Management Plans required under the CRL designation and resource consent conditions. Specific mitigation of affected parties’ concerns is outlined in Table 5-3, while general mitigation measures that will be implemented for the duration of the Project are outlined in this section.

6.2

General

Some parties have raised concern regarding how unforeseen issues such as excessive dust will be addressed. Compliance will be achieved via the CEMP and DWPs. In addition, monitoring of compliance will be undertaken by Auckland Council as per their monitoring programme.

Where parties consider that a compliance issue is occurring, they are encouraged to contact the C3 Alliance Stakeholder and Communications Manager or the project information line (0800 TALKCRL) and the matter will be investigated immediately.

Considering feedback from Project stakeholders during the consultation meetings for this DWP, in addition to that received by CRLL in respect to the CRL works already being undertaken in the CBD, a key social impact and business disruption mitigation measure is regular contact with the Project Team.

These regular channels of communication are important for both the affected parties and the Project delivery team to share information. The K-Road Business Association and Cross Street Market each provide important connection and information with the local community and should be central to ongoing communication.

The area is subject to ongoing change due to the transient nature of some activities in the Project area, in addition some properties will/may change ownership or tenancy prior to the Project commencing or during the Project. It is important that these changes are noted, and early contact is made to ensure the community is effectively engaged and aware of the works. The Project Team will need to regularly update the Stakeholder Database and initiative contact with new owners and tenants.

6.2.1 Specific Mitigation Measures for the Project a)

Upon appointment of the C3 Alliance contractor, the C3 Alliance Stakeholder and Communication Manager will contact all residential properties within the area identified on the Affected Parties Plan attached at Appendix A to compile an up to date residential database for on-going Project engagement.

b)

The C3 Alliance Stakeholder and Communications Manager will meet with AT to confirm opportunities for collaborative engagement on areas affected by both projects.

c)

The C3 Alliance Stakeholder and Communications Manager will meet with the K-Rd Business Association and the Cross Street Markets confirm opportunities for engagement with their networks and provision of project briefings/events.

d)

The C3 Alliance Stakeholder and Communications Manager will meet with Body Corporate Committees or individual residents no later than 6-weeks prior to works commencing to agree a project communication strategy (including project briefing session) for the residential complex or individual property.

e)

A Project kick off meeting(s) and/or CLG will be convened no later than 4-weeks prior to works commencing to introduce key project members (i.e. the C3 Alliance Stakeholder and

f)

o

Demolition sequence;

o

Site access and egress;

o

Truck movement schedule; and

o

Project communications.

One to one meetings with those properties immediately adjoining buildings which are to be demolished (21-29 East Street, 9 Mercury Lane; 1 Cross Street; 238 Karangahape Road and 2-8 Canada Street) will be convened no later than 4-weeks prior to any demolition works commencing to confirm demolition process and boundary treatment.

g) The C3 Alliance Stakeholder and Communications Manager will make a courtesy visit to businesses on a fortnightly basis to check in with parties regarding the Project. h)

The C3 Alliance Stakeholder and Communications Manager will confirm the frequency for Project Progress meetings/communications with businesses to advise of project programme and scheduled works for the upcoming 4-week period.

i)

The C3 Alliance Stakeholder and Communications Manager and CRLL GM Corporate Relations and Communications will develop a Project Information Pack for the use of affected parties regarding staff briefings, customer and residents’ information.

6.3

Air Quality Impact

An Air Quality DWP (AQ DWP) has been prepared for the Project by Golder Associates (NZ) Ltd. Its purpose is to provide a framework for managing the air discharges, especially dust emissions, so that potential significant adverse environmental and human health effects beyond the boundary of the construction site are avoided.

Likely social impacts and business disruption arising from dust or odours are amenity nuisance and health impacts affecting people’s wellbeing and way of life including the way they conduct business.

The AQ DWP states at Section 1.1 that there is very limited potential for odour to be generated by the Project with potential effects considered insignificant. Combustion emissions from the operation of vehicles, and any residual emissions from emission control equipment associated with the works are expected to give rise to air quality effects that are negligible.

Section 4 of the AQ DWP sets out the dust monitoring programme and procedures and proposes protocols and measures in the event of visible dust emissions that are moderate of major. If the assessed level of visible dust emissions is moderate or major, or due to concrete dust, the duty or site manager for the project area must be notified for further action, including ceasing on-site dust generating activities.

The approach to dust control is set out in Section 4 of the AQ DWP with daily visual monitoring required in combination with the application of good site management practices within the construction area. Daily logging and a rapid response process to any monitoring triggers or complaints received is identified within the AQ DWP. Section 5 of the AQ DWP proposes protocols and measures in the event of unforeseen odour emissions from the Project, being operations associated with that activity will cease and measures to address the discharge promptly investigated and implemented (including procedures for responding to discharges of odour and equipment inspection). The likelihood, therefore, of the works giving rise to

Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax I ARUP

44 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

any offensive or objectionable odour effects for affected proximity parties is considered very low and no additional specific social impact and business disruption mitigation measures are proposed.

Section 7 goes on to outline environmental training for staff. No additional specific SIBD DWP mitigation measures are considered warranted.

6.4

Noise and Vibration Disruption

Construction noise and vibration will be managed, monitored and mitigated through the CNV DWP prepared by Marshall Day Acoustics Ltd. In addition, the CNV DWP recommends that Site Specific Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plans be implemented for certain receivers where levels of noise or vibration generated by the demolition works are anticipated to exceed the Project noise or vibration standards. Under the CRL designation conditions, the theatre within the Mercury Theatre building is a “Notable Receiver” and a SSCNVMP has been developed accordingly. The SSCNVMP is attached as Appendix 1 of the CNV DWP. Social impact and business disruption can occur from unmanaged construction noise or vibration effecting people’s way of life, well-being and amenity.

To minimise noise exceedances within the area surrounding the works, the Project will employ a range of mitigation and management measures which are outlined in Section 5 of the CNV DWP. These measures include training of construction personnel, equipment selection, use and maintenance, utilisation of noise barriers and enclosures, controls on concrete cutting and breaking activities, and reducing noise and vibration through use of appropriate demolition techniques.

Of note, is the provision for Project communications with the Project community as set out in Section 6 of the CNV DWP. The recommendations in the CNV DWP which the SIBD DWP supports are:

▪

Written notification of the Project description shall be provided to all property occupiers within 50m of a worksite

▪

To advise any affected parties of construction activities that are predicted or have been identified by the Construction Manager to exceed the limits set out in CRL designation condition 31.1.

▪ ▪

Monthly updates of monitoring and project progress to affected parties.

Address any concerns and complaints regarding construction noise and vibration.

Section 8.2 of the CNV DWP sets out the process for any demolition activity that is found to exceed the relevant noise and vibration performance standards.

6.4.1 Specific Mitigation Measures for the Project a)

6.5

The Site-Specific Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plans provided at Appendix C of the CNV DWP will be implemented from the outset of the works.

Transport, Access and Parking Disruption

Social impact and business disruption can occur from restricted traffic, access and parking, affecting people’s way of life, connectivity and access to services and homes. Accordingly, the Transport, Access and Parking DWP (TAP DWP) prepared by Flow Transportation Specialists sets out how connectivity and access will be maintained in accordance with the CRL designation conditions. The TAP DWP outlines the management measures to be employed for the duration of the works at Section 6 and required monitoring is confirmed in Section 7.

6.5.1 Traffic and access

Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax I ARUP

45 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

During the proposed demolition works, all existing streets will remain open to all road users, with twoway carriageways (where applicable) and the existing footpath provisions. As a result, access to all existing properties outside the CRL designation will remain available.

It is expected that there will be sufficient space within each site for demolition plant to be located off the street, and for the loading of trucks to generally occur off the street.

Short term temporary traffic management may be required during periods of the demolition, to load/unload plant and materials. These will be limited to sections of East Street, Mercury Lane and Canada Street. During this traffic management, two-way operation of these streets will remain (oneway in the case of Mercury Lane), to ensure that properties outside the CRL designation that rely on these streets for connectivity will continue to have vehicle access.

Contractor vehicle access to the sites being demolished are anticipated to be limited to the existing vehicle crossings supporting these properties. As the demolition works are expected to progress from north to south, the existing vehicle accesses serving 9a, 9b, 9c and 13 Mercury Lane are likely to be used by the contractor.

The transport management provisions within the TAP DWP ensure that:

▪ ▪ ▪

Karangahape Road or Upper Queen Street are not affected.

▪

The works will not generally result in the loss of any existing on-street parking spaces, except for instances where temporary traffic management is required on East Street, Canada Street or Mercury Lane.

▪

The works will not affect the existing pedestrian and cyclist shared use path on the south side of Canada Street, nor access to the Light Path cycleway.

All existing streets within the Project area will remain open to all road users.

The works will not result in the loss of any existing off-street parking spaces (except for those within the sites being demolished).

In addition, it is a requirement of CRL designation condition 28.1(a) to avoid any reduction in traffic capacity on Pitt Street.

6.5.2 Demolition Traffic Truck movements will occur between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm Monday to Friday, and 7:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturday. As a result, the demolition works are estimated to require between 6 and 13 truckloads per average weekday (12 to 27 one-way truck movements per weekday).

Truck movements to and from the sites will generally be via 11.5 m large rigid trucks, or smaller units.

It is acknowledged that these vehicles may be required to swing across opposing lanes when traversing local streets such as East Street and Canada Street. These manoeuvres are considered acceptable within these very low speed, low volume environments. The TAP DWP notes that larger vehicles may occasionally deliver plant to the site.

Where practicable, truck movements will be restricted to the arterial network as defined in the Auckland Unitary Plan. Access of over dimension and overweight vehicle movements through local streetswill be managed by limiting the movements of these vehicles outside of the commuter peak periods, and by applying mobile traffic management where these vehicles are required to traverse multiple lanes of traffic.

It is noted under CRL designation condition 25.3(g), should a party unexpectedly find their vehicle blocked in because of a temporary closure, CRLL are required to (within reasonable limits) offer alternative transport such as a taxi, rental car, or another alternative.

46 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

6.5.2 Pedestrian Movement and Access and Public Transport The proposed works will not result in any loss of provision for pedestrians and public transport users, with only occasional and short-term temporary traffic management measures applied to East Street, Canada Street or Mercury Lane.

5.5.3 On-Street Car Parking In the main, no existing on-street parking spaces will be removed during the works, except for instances where short-term traffic management is required to load/unload plant. As a result, no significant car parking effects are anticipated.

5.5.5 Required Transport Management Communication Property owners and occupiers are noted for early and specific consultation and agreement regarding transportation matters, as follows: Table 6-1 External Consultation Requirements

The Agency confirmed, via email that the proposed works will not have any impact on New Zealand Transport Agency assets, traffic operations or maintenance activities.

6.5.6 Specific Mitigation Measures for the Project In addition to the management measures outlined in the TAP DWP, the following mitigation will be implemented with respect to managing social impact and business disruption: a) Advisory signage will be erected one month prior to the works commencing advising motorists and pedestrians of the scheduled works. b) As per the TMP for the Project, signage will be erected in clear and prominent locations for the duration of the Project works that businesses remain open. It is recommended that a ‘triangle’ of signage is installed advising that Cross St is “open for business” from the three streets leading to the businesses in the affected area (K-Road, Mercury Lane and Upper Queen Street). The C3 Alliance will work with local businesses to agree the design and location of these signs. c) CRL designation condition 25.3(c)(i) requires that where practicable, trucks carrying spoil, bulk construction materials or machinery be limited to Mercury Lane, Canada Street and Upper Queen Street, and to routes identified as either arterial roads, over dimension or over weight routes. Condition 28.1(b) also requires that East Street not be used for the movement of spoil where practicable. d) There may be instances where East Street and/or Cross Street may be used for the movement of demolition debris and/or machinery. When closures are necessary, property owners and leaseholders will be consulted with at least two weeks prior to the closure. This will be undertaken by the C3 Alliance with the agreed arrangement and timing conveyed to the business by the C3 Alliance Construction Manager at least 48 hours before the closure.

47 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

6.6

Utility Disruption

The K-Road demolition work will include the termination and abandonment of services to individual sites as necessary, as well as the protection or diversion of utilities serving upstream or downstream properties (transiting utilities). These utilities are wide ranging from potable water to fibre telecommunications, and service all properties within the Project area.

The potential loss of utility connection has the potential to affect network utility operators’ (NUOs) services and the community surrounding the Project area. Minimising effects on NUO services will be achieved through stakeholder engagement with the Project area community, regarding the termination/abandonment and protection works.

Although there are no critical services in the immediate surroundings of the Project area, supply outages would have a significant effect on people’s way of life and ability to conduct business.

Therefore, advanced communication of planned network service suspension or outages needs to be advised to the Project community, so that backup arrangements can be put in place e.g. water storage.

NUO procedures for utility disruption will be followed if an unplanned utility disruption occurs as a result of the Project. It is considered that current practices by NUO are best practice and will therefore be used as standard procedure for the duration of the Project.

6.6.1 Specific Mitigation Measures for the Project To manage social impact and business disruption effects, with respect to utility disruption, the following mitigation will be implemented: a)

The C3 Alliance will liaise with the relevant NUO communications teams to ensure consistent messaging regarding outage times (if necessary) is available to the Project community and public at least 48 hours in advance.

b)

Throughout demolition, regular communication between the C3 Alliance Construction Manager and the NUO (or similar) will take place to ensure the termination/ abandonment and protection of utilities are progressed effectively and efficiently.

c)

Where planned service outages are required, property owners and leaseholders will be consulted at least one week prior to the planned event. This will be undertaken by the C3 Alliance with the agreed arrangement and timing conveyed to the business at least 48 hours before the outage.

6.7

Amenity Impact

Amenity in relation to visual impacts for the Project pertains to the views of the demolition area from the surrounding properties and the local streets. The building typology of multi-storey units which directly adjoin the work site, as well as the topography of the area means that the demolition site compound will be overlooked by activities located on the higher levels of adjoining properties or those on higher ground.

The extent and appreciation of the visual effect of the demolition area will vary between people. Some will find the view interesting while others will see it as visually unpleasing.

An unsightly works site will impact on the amenity of the surrounding area and has the potential to impact on its sense of place and vibrancy, in addition to the patronage of adjoining businesses.

To manage any actual or potential visual amenity impact from the works, site cleanliness and upkeep needs to be managed and maintained, and interesting visual screening which promotes a consistent look and feel and contributes to the street scene reinforcing a sense of place needs to be provided.

6.7.1 Specific Mitigation Measures for the Project

Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax I ARUP

48 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

To manage social impact and business disruption effects, with respect to amenity and sense of place, the following mitigation will be implemented: a) Daily work site maintenance implemented, consisting of: o

Rubbish cleared from works area.

o

Construction materials appropriately stored / stockpiled.

b)

Screening of works area with solid construction hoardings or scrim panels to fencing injecting colour, creating vibrancy and a sense of place. This will be in place from site mobilisation/set up and maintained for the duration of the works.

c)

Street cleaning (including footpaths) to remove any mud/debris from site/trucks.

d)

Graffiti will be painted over quickly and in a timely matter.

To achieve a consistent look and feel to hoardings, fences and pedestrian containers, as well as the incorporation of way finding and project information, the CRLL marketing team in conjunction with the Contractor will engage with the Project Community and K-Road Business Association to agree on a theme and branding to be used.

Examples of construction hoarding, and skim panel screening used elsewhere on the CRL project are provided in Figure 6-1 below.

Figure 6-1 Examples of Hoarding and Skim Panel screening used on CRL

6.8

Community Safety

While site safety is dealt with by the CEMP, provision of a safe environment for members of the public will be achieved through the implementation of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) measures.

Implementation of CPTED will ensure the Project does not negatively impact on either perceived or real dangers to the public and reduces the opportunity or perception of opportunities for crime in the Project area.

The key CPTED principles which will be adopted for the Project are:

â–Ş â–Ş

Removing conditions that create confusion about required norms of behaviour.

Increasing the possibility of detection, challenge and capture of criminal elements.

Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax I ARUP

49 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

â–Ş

Increasing the effort required to commit crime by ensuring the labour (time, resources) which needs to be expended outweighs the perceived crime benefit.

â–Ş

Reducing the potential rewards of crime by minimising, concealing or removing crime benefits.

6.8.1 Specific Mitigation Measures for the Project The Project site layout will be implemented in accordance with the CPTED principles outlined above.

In addition, the following measures will be implemented to achieve a safe Project environment: a) Demolition space and public space will be clearly demarcated, ensuring it is clear where the public should and should not be. b) Increased visibility at junctions on pedestrian routes affected by the Project. c) Access gates, storage and office facilities will be locked to reduce temptation and opportunities for theft and crime. d) Traffic controllers at vehicle entrances to the work site.

The C3 Contractor will work with the CRLL Street Response Manager and urban designer to achieve the outcomes sought for community safety.

6.9

Business Visibility Disruption

The interlinkage of patronage levels with line of sight/visibility for businesses reliant on passing trade is acknowledged. Similarly, for destination businesses the ease of access (actual or perception) to a business premise is important. It is a recognised potential impact that customers who cannot clearly negotiate their way to or see a business, assume that it is closed or seek a more readily accessible alternative, even if that alternative is further away. This concern was raised by several stakeholders during engagement for the SIBD DWP. Therefore, where the visibility of or access to adjacent businesses is impacted by the Project works, signage advertising the location and ongoing operation of these businesses will be provided. The signage will be erected in conjunction with the Project site set up and be maintained for the duration of the works. The signage will be developed in consultation with the affected businesses to best suit their needs and not be imposed on them. Feedback will continue to be sought from affected businesses regarding the visibility and access requirements of the business over the course of the Project and where agreed, amended signage provided.

CRLL C3 Alliance will develop a development response plan that will identify measures to manage the impacts on businesses affected by the CRL project. This initiative is supported by the Auckland Chamber of Commerce and Business Mentors New Zealand. The package consists of a range of free services (e.g. business mentor, advice hot line) to assist with business promotion and operations. This is an initiative which has been used in the CBD area subject to other CRL works.

6.9.1 Specific Mitigation Measures for the Project a)

Messaging to the effect that local businesses are operating as usual, including but not limited to: o

As part of the ongoing communication campaign for CRL.

o

Media such as the Project website, Facebook Page, Instagram and LinkedIn.

o

K-Road Business Association website.

b) The C3 Alliance will develop a development response plan that will identify measures to manage the impacts on businesses, developed in consultation with affected businesses

Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax I ARUP

50 CRL-KRD-RME-000-RPT-0131 Project 251926 | 09 May 2019 | Revision 1

identified in this SIBD DWP. A Business Support Programme introduction letter similar to that provided in Appendix D will be distributed to these businesses at least 4 weeks prior to the works commencing.

The C3 Alliance and the CRLL Street Response Manager will liaise with the K-Road Business Association and the local business community to devise other Project related business mitigation opportunities, such as business promotion initiatives or event planning and delivery.

6.10

Economic Opportunity/ Impact

The Project will generate both economic opportunities and impacts.

The following potential negative impacts have been identified over the engagement period by the author/affected parties:

▪ ▪

The loss of patronage to local businesses during the Project time period; and Downstream impacts on the potential cost and turnover of residential and business leases and the redevelopment and construction phases over the life-time of the CRL Project.

Any property and business owners who consider that their businesses will suffer negative financial impact because of the Project are urged to seek independent advice regarding any compensation rights that may be available to them under the Public Works Act 1981.

Opportunities exist for the potential increase in patronage of dairies, cafés and food outlets on Karangahape Road being in easy walking distance from the works site.

Measures to mitigate the negative effects and enhance the positive effects are detailed in section 6.9.1 above. In addition to this, CRLL’s social outcome strategy will be implemented throughout the Project in order to enhance the economic opportunities to a more diverse range of people and trades.

On-going Implementation

7.1

Introduction

This SIBD DWP will be implemented for the duration of the Project and will include ongoing consultation with the affected parties and the CLG. Affected parties can contact a Project team member directly for concerns relating to the effects of the Project through the free number: 0800 CRL TALK (275 8255). This phone line is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Alternatively, the C3 Alliance primary point of contact for affected parties and stakeholders, can be contacted directly. The C3 Alliance will be responsible for distributing the contact details for those with key responsibilities in the implementation of the Project provided in Table 1-2.

As outlined in Section 5 above, the C3 Alliance will make a courtesy visit to businesses on a fortnightly basis to check in with parties regarding the Project. In addition, the C3 Alliance will hold fortnightly Project Progress meetings to which business owners are able to attend or, as agreed with stakeholders, provide Project Progress by other means of communication. These regular channels of communication are important for both the affected parties by proximity and the Project delivery team to share information, diaries and programmes.

A record will be kept of issues and complaints received to inform the report of this SIBD DWP. It will capture additional impacts identified. It will also ensure documentation of mitigation measures undertaken to address issues arising from the Project on affected parties and that alignment is achieved with other DWPs. This record will include:

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

A description of the complaint; The relevant DWP the complaint relates to; Mitigation measures undertaken in response to the complaint; Who is responsible for mitigation of the complaint; Timeframes for addressing the complaint, including when the complaint is resolved; and Any affected parties.

In addition, an update meeting will be held with the CLG at least every three months, through which social impact and business disruption concerns can be raised (refer to Section 5 of the Project CCP).

7.2

Monitoring

Monitoring of the social impact and business disruption issues (and the subsequent process to ensure compliance with the CRL designation conditions) outlined in Sections 5 and 6 of this DWP will be undertaken through the relevant DWP:

▪ ▪ ▪

Air Quality – AQ DWP; Noise and Vibration – CNV DWP; and Transport, Access and Parking – TAP DWP.

All complaints and subsequent mitigation measures and responses will be documented to inform the annual report for social impact and business disruptions. Complaints will be received, documented and mitigated following the prescribed process set out in Section 8 of this DWP.

Due to the short duration of the Project, no annual review to be undertaken and will reflect an alternative review period. Internal audits will be completed by the ESM (or delegate) at an appropriate point in the Project. The number and timing of these audits is to be determined by the ESM, commensurate to the length of the Project works. Findings from the audits will be presented to the Construction Manager within two weeks of conducting the audit. This SIBD DWP will be updated, with the necessary certification by Auckland Council, throughout the course of the Project to reflect any changes required due to Project engagement and audit recommendations.

6

If a complaint cannot be resolved within the complaints process timeframe, the complainant is invited to a meeting with the C3 Alliance and the Project Management team.

7

All meetings are recorded in the CRM database to ensure that a complete record of times dates and location of meetings is maintained.

8

When a complaint is resolved it should be ‘closed out’ as an action in the CRM. Each month a record of complaints activity will be reviewed by the C3 Alliance to check that all actions have been closed out.

9

Each month a record of complaints activity will be reviewed by the C3 Alliance to check that all actions have been closed out.

If required, improvements to project processes and mitigation strategies will be implemented to minimise future complaints.

Disputes resolution

Disputes may arise where a stakeholder affected by an issue considers their complaint has not been resolved. In the context of this Project, disputes may arise relating to:

▪ ▪ ▪

Financial loss due to demolition effects on businesses in proximity to the works.

Building damage.

Noise disruption.

A claim for financial compensation under the Public Works Act 1981 is a possibility for affected parties who are significantly affected by the Project. The Public Works Act entitles affected parties to compensation for ‘substantial injurious affection’, which may include damage to property or losses to a business.

To pursue any claim under the Public Works Act for financial compensation because of the Project (refer to Section 6.10 of this DWP), an affected party will need to lodge their claim with CRL directly.

Claims should be: Sent to:

info@ cityraillink.govt.nz

For the Attention of:

CRL Project Manager. K Road Demolition

Any claims received by the Contractor team will be forwarded to CRLL. Financial compensation is outside the scope of this DWP. With respect to noise, where a resolution through the complaints process cannot be achieved, an Independent Expert specialised in acoustics will be appointed to review the complaint and arbitrate between the parties.

CLG Comments The following comments were made during the CLG presentation which took place on 28 March 2019 regarding matters that have a bearing on the content of the Social Impact and Business Disruption Delivery Work Plan: Table A – CLG Meeting 28th March 2019 Comment

Resolution

What engagement with Auckland Transport had occurred

Information included in SIBD.

The K-Road Business Association represented reiterated his concerns around business disruption and its desire to see more detail on how these issues will be managed

C3 Alliance will confirm once appointed

What are the timeframes for demolition and construction

Set out in Section 2 and the CEMP.

There were concerns raised regarding the Albert Street works and concern that the KRoad station development would be similarly disruptive

CRLL noted that Albert St was a learning curve; CRLL to ensure SIBD recommendations are implemented.

No members of the CLG have requested a copy of the draft Social Impact and Business Disruption Management Delivery Work Plan.

Recommendation

Response

When the C3 Alliance contract is awarded, Project team personnel are in place and sequencing of the K-Road Demolition works is known the SIBD and CCP must be updated to reflect this.

The SIBD DWP at Section 1.5 confirms that the document will be updated upon the appointment of all nominated personnel within the C3 Alliance the names and contact details of the key personnel. This information is required to be presented at any Project kick off meetings as well as the CLG noted at Section 6.2 and in any Project communications under the CCP.

In the meantime, the 0800 Helpdesk number should be tested to ensure queries are able to be taken.

It would also be beneficial if the SIBD DWP lists the interim contact details for a contact in the project team who will be available to talk to interested stakeholders.

SIBD DWP S 1.5 Roles and Responsibilities

Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax I ARUP

The 0800 Helpdesk number has been tested and is working.

Current information requests should be via the CRLL general query email (info@cityraillink.govt.nz) or via the contact page on the CRL website (https://www.cityraillink.co.nz/crlcontact).Queries regarding the K-Road demolition project will be forwarded to the CRLL Stakeholder Communications Team (Ms Leahy) in the first instance. Following the C3 Alliance contract appointment, queries will be handled by the C3 Alliance Stakeholder and Communications Manager. All queries will be recorded in the Project consultation data base.

Following mobilisation of the C3 Alliance, a specific K-Road Project suffix will be provided via the CRL help desk (0800 CRL TALK (0800 275 8255)). This is confirmed at Sections 1.5 and 8.2 of the SIBD DWP.

Recommendation

Response

Suggest that members of the CRLL team, who have engaged with affected parties alongside the SIBD DWP author should remain as a Project Team member during implementation of the SIBD DWP. This is to ensure consistency and that any complaints or issues regarding potential positive and/or negative impacts that are subsequently raised during implementation are reviewed and assessed, as well as enhanced and/or mitigated where necessary.

The roles of the CRLL team who have participated in the interviews with affected parties alongside the SIBD DWP author within the C3 Alliance are not confirmed.

The SIBD DWP places some responsibility on to the people who will be employed as the C3 Alliance Stakeholder and Communications Manager, CRLL GM Corporate Relations & Communications and the CRLL Street Response Manager. There are no measures listed in the SIBD DWP to ensure the quality, accountability and expertise of these people who will employed. Understands that the SIBD DWP author will have no ongoing role or responsibility during the implementation of the Project and the processes of assessing and mitigating (or enhancing) any unforeseen SIBD impacts. Therefore, the issue is raised of who is suitably qualified to assess and mitigate any impacts that may be raised during the implementation stages.

The SIBD DWP in relation to other DWP’s needs to outline this responsibility further.

The C3 Alliance contractor has been selected on the basis of providing suitable technically qualified personnel who can deliver the CRL project to the standards and expectations of CRLL and meet all required statutory obligations.

Until the C3 Alliance contract is award, Ms Leahy and Mr Kirby-McLeod will continue to be the CRLL point of contact for Project stakeholders as confirmed at Section 1.5.

The implementation of the SIBD DWP will be the responsibility of the C3 Alliance contractor including their suitably qualified social impact adviser and those CRLL staff who will form part of the C3 Alliance. This is confirmed at section 1.4 of the SIBD DWP.

SIBD DWP S 4 & 5 – general engagement issues

Recommendation

Response

On p.3 the SIBD DWP states that the draft was prepared between mid-February – March 2019. A draft was presented to the CLG on 13 March 2019. Importantly, specific dates regarding engagement and who has been responsible (i.e. the SIBD DWP author and/or CRLL Project Team, etc) should be clarified in Sections 1.2 and 5.1. It is recommended that Table 5.1 that outlines the consultation and engagement process should also include dates and details regarding:

The personnel who attended the engagement meetings are confirmed at section 5.1 of the SIBD DWP but confirmation has been added at section 1.2 of the SIDB DWP.

▪

the desktop research for profiling

▪

when and how many emails/letters sent to database requesting meeting;

▪

when and how many letter drops were made

▪

when and how many follow up emails

▪

when and how many ‘engagement meetings’, interviews, questionnaires, phone calls, emails were conducted and/or received

▪

all consultation conducted by other DWP processes.

The point is that Table 5.3 states feedback was received from some 25 physical engagement opportunities (meetings, interviews, phone calls) and some 3 or so emails were received out of a potential 51 business property occupiers and 5 residential properties in the Project proximity. Firstly, without any indication of dates it is very hard to understand how this was achieved in the short SIBD DWP preparation time-frame stated. Second, it is not clear how well or how many residents out of the 5 residential properties were engaged or completed a questionnaire. Some explanation of the engagement ‘hit rate’ should be provided by the SIBD DWP, with corresponding recommendations to improve this engagement during implementation included.

For the purposes of the SIBD DWP, it is not considered necessary to provide an itemised list of all actions undertaken, however, additional timing information has been set out at section 1.2 of the SIDB DWP. Any consultation undertaken by other DWPs is stated in those documents and does not need to be repeated in the SIBD DWP. Table 5-3 clearly states the method of engagement with individual stakeholders.

While the engagement period was short, the SIDB DWP team drew on existing contact information for various stakeholders held by CRLL and also obtained contact details through desktop research, LINZ review and site visits conducted prior to the commencement of the engagement period. These details as well as premises drops-ins and contact information obtained during the engagement period, facilitated the level of engagement achieved.

Table 5-3 clearly states the method of engagement with individual stakeholders.

Section 6 SIBD DWP provides measures to ensure continued and wider engagement with stakeholders by the C3 Alliance before and during works.

Recommendation

Response

Again on p.3, it is stated that “The DWP has also been informed by discussions with a representative from the K-Road Business Association and the Street Response Manager at CRLL”. These discussions should be documented and recorded in this SIBD DWP, including the date and a summary of the issues raised/ discussed.

Section 1.2 of the SIBD DWP has been updated with the requested information and feedback inserted at Table 5.3 with respect to comments from the K-Road Business Association.

It would be both useful and good practice if all consultation, feedback and mitigation measures and responsibilities for managing the implementation and monitoring of effects, particularly those with any relation to SIBD is documented in a live central point of reference, say in the CCP or project website, to enable cross-referencing and clear lines of management of effects. I understand that the Project manages a CRM database. It would be positive and welcome addition to openness and transparency if this was adapted via a web-link and made available for public view and reference.

All Project communications will be recorded in the Project’s communication database.

7)

It should be noted that the questionnaire sheets are missing in Appendix C. These need to be inserted.

These are included in the lodgement version of the SIBD DWP and were provided to the Peer Reviewer post receipt of the report.

8)

Having received emailed copies of the questionnaire sheets by CRL, note that a question regarding “What do you consider are the social impact and business disruption impacts on you (and your fellow residents, family and local community) as a result of the project?” is now included in the residential and Body Corp questionnaires. This is welcomed. However, the question should be included in all interview/ questionnaires for purposes of consistency to engage all affected parties on perceived social impact and business disruption effects.

Noted and will be actioned for any future SIBD DWP engagement exercise for CRL.

Recommendation

Response

In a previous SIBD peer review process I had commented on the need for CCP’s to adopt and implement international standards such as the IAP2’s Public Participation Framework to guide and define its consultation and communication activities for the CRL Project.14 This comment still stands. As noted by the CEMP, SIBD DWP and CCP, public liaison and stakeholder communications and consultation are critical to the success of this project. Specific and meaningful consultation and engagement with affected parties in identifying, mitigating and managing potential or perceived effects upon them are also critical. General good practice SIA recognises that communication and consultation is not a replacement for social impact assessment. Moreover, an effective CCP is also a key mitigation measure. Therefore, it is essential that a framework and methodology such as IAP2 is used to determine and design the different types of consultation that will be implemented as a measure to address affected parties’ desires for inclusion and engagement. It is also noted that the Project should engage with projects, events and meetings being held in the community on other interrelated issues (KRoad Business Association, Cross Street Markets and local community planning projects). This should be built into the implementation plan of the SIBD DWP.

Noted and is addressed in the CCP.

On p.10 it is stated that “until the C3 Alliance is in place, affected parties and stakeholders can contact the CRL help desk… for assistance from the CRLL Stakeholder Communication Team or from the CRLL Planning Team in respect of the Project”. This process needs to be reviewed. There is no direct access to the K-Road Project, and the other suffixes are either related to other CRL designations staffed by people who do not have any direct information about K-Road. This is clearly not working for these staff nor a satisfactory process for public/ affected parties wanting to speak directly (24/7) with a member of the Project team for K-Road.

This section has been updated to confirm current information requests should be via the CRLL general query email ( info@cityraillink.govt.nz) or via the contact page on the CRL website (https://www.cityraillink.co.nz/crl-contact).

See International Association for Public Participation (http://www.iap2.org).

Recommendation

Response

On p.12 it states “CRLL has completed negotiations with the owner of Mercury Plaza… for this site to be occupied for the duration of the CRL project works and to demolish the existing structures on the site” (emphasis added). Unclear what is meant by ‘occupied’ and by whom, given that the buildings will be demolished. This sentence requires further clarification or explanation.

The SIBD DWP has been updated to provide the clarity requested. Occupation will be by the contractor to support construction activities.

On p. 3 of the SIBD DWP it states that the “SIBD DWP should be read in conjunction with the CCP”. The CEMP and other DWPs of relevance should also be added to this paragraph, and reference to Section 6 The Implementation Plan should be made.

Section 1.2 of the SIBD DWP has been updated to provide the requested cross reference to the other DWPs. A cross reference to section 6 of the SIBD DWP is not considered necessary.

The economic opportunity/ impact discussion is very broad brush and appears to be a cut and paste from other SIBD DWPs. The SIBD DWP states that the “Project will generate both economic opportunities and impacts… Opportunities exist for the potential increase in patronage of dairies, cafés and food outlets on Karangahape Road being in easy walking distance from the works site”(p.51). Suggest these positive and negative impacts need to be listed and properly assessed in this and all future SIBD DWPs. It should outline the impacts that have been identified (by the author and/ or affected parties) if at all, or the reason why not, as well as the measures to enhance or mitigate these positive or negative effects.

For example, I would consider there to be downstream impacts on the potential cost and turnover of residential and business leases as a result of the demolition project, including the redevelopment and construction phases over the life-time of the CRL Project. These potential SIBD impacts should be addressed.

Concerns raised by the author and community are detailed in Section 4.1, Table 5.3 and Section 6.2 to 6.9 of the SIBD DWP. Additionally, Section 8 supports the advice in Section 6.10 of the SIBD DWP.

CRLL’s social outcomes strategy https://www.cityraillink.co.nz/crlsocial-outcomes/ is a relevant and important human, social, cultural and economic impact enhancement measure that should be referenced in the SIBD DWP, as well as implemented as part of the Karangahape Road Demolition Project.

This SIDB DWP has been prepared to address the CRL Designation conditions 61.1 – 61.8 Social.

Section 4 of the SIDB DWP provides the information required in respect of CRL Designation condition 61.4.

P.31, Table 5.3 Studio Q “The property owner has some queries around whether they will need to be decanted from the property and how their machinery will be removed and/ or protected during the works”. This key point raised does not appear to have been addressed in the mitigation.

Table 5.3 has been updated to confirm that currently there is no requirement for the property owner to vacate their premises. The detailed programme of work for the Project is currently being prepared and will be subject to a SSCNMP and SSCVMP for this property. Should the final recommendation of the SSCNMP and SSCVMP include relocation, the process will be discussed and agreed with the occupier.

Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax I ARUP

P.32, Table 5.3 “The property owner was concerned with potential damage to the building”. This key point has not been addressed, rather the mitigation talks about effects on the business not on the building.

Table 5.3 has been updated to reflect the process concerning pre-condition surveys.

P.34, Table 5.3 – George Court – can you please indicate how many questionnaires were completed by residents. The feedback also notes that some elderly residents live there. These are vulnerable affected parties and every effort should be made to ensure any impacts upon them as a result of the Project are identified and mitigated if necessary.

Table 5.3 has been updated to confirm the number of questionnaires received.

P.43, Section 6.2 Implementation Plan states “The K-Road Business Association and Cross Street Market each provide important connection and information with the local community and should be central to ongoing communication”. This is an important point.

However, there is no further discussion in the SIBD DWP or CCP regarding communication or engagement with the key stakeholders and community networks.

The SIBD DWP has confirmed that engagement has taken place with both the K-Road Business Association and Cross Street Market.

Section 6 SIBD DWP includes provision for ongoing engagement by the C3 Alliance with residential properties.

Aurecon | Mott MacDonald | Jasmax I ARUP

Recommendation

Response

It would be beneficial if the members of the CLG, their stakeholder interests and their contact details (invited and those who attend) are included in the SIBD DWP and CCP. From a peer review perspective this group is established by the Designation Conditions to perform and important role in the preparation and implementation and monitoring of this and other plans.

As indicated in this SIBD DWP at Table 5.3, those affected parties who requested involvement in the CLG have been added to the contact list.

The SIBD DWP author does not consider that a list of CLG members their stakeholder interests and their contact details (invited and those who attend) are included in the SIBD DWP. A review of CLG for CRL is being undertaken by CRLL in order to have a more diverse membership including residential and business representatives.

According to Table B in Appendix B of the SIBD DWP there has been no feedback from the CLG on the draft SIBD DWP. This is either an omission that needs to be remedied or a signal that the CLG are unable to adequately perform this function.

No member of the CLG or those affected parties who attended the CLG have requested a copy of the draft SIBD DWP and therefore, no comments have been received.

A review of the role and functions of the CLG should be undertaken to improve its relevance and performance as a deliberative forum now and through the implementation stage. This has been acknowledged in Mt Eden Project. It would be beneficial to mention this review and any findings or recommendations included in the implementation section of this SIBD DWP.

A review of the role and functions of the CLG is beyond the scope of the SIBD DWP. A review of CLG for CRL is still being undertaken by CRLL in order to have a more diverse membership including residential and business representatives. Currently, there are no findings or recommendations which can be provided in this SIBD DWP.

Recommendation

Response

It is unclear whether the CLG is appropriately resourced and tasked to undertake its various responsibilities (set out in Condition 7), in particular to be an active conduit - to be the eyes and ears of the community - for communications between other parties in their area and the Project Team. There is no evidence to suggest residents or even local ratepayers and resident’s associations or other interest groups are represented on the CLG, and whether these members have a broad outreach to people in the K-Road area. K-Road Business Association and Cross St Markets are clearly an engaged stakeholder, both requesting that the Project Team utilise their events to talk with local community and users of the area. A specific engagement plan that includes these stakeholders and their networks and intelligence is highly recommended.

Designation condition 7 clearly requires residential representation on the CLG. As indicated in this SIBD DWP at Table 5.3, those affected parties who requested involvement in the CLG have been added to the contact list which include a number of residential parties.

P.20, third paragraph should read “AT is working with the K-Road Business Association to develop targeted engagement with business”.

The SIBD DWP has been updated in this regard.

A reference should be provided to cite the AT/Auckland Council “KRoad Enhancement Project”.

P.51, section 6.9.1 (b) reference to a “development response plan” lacks any context or detail and is not referenced in the CCP. Given that its use is to “identify measures to manage the impacts on businesses, developed in consultation with affected businesses identified in this SIBD DWP”, there is little assessment regarding its purpose and how this plan will be conducted, including what resources and who with expertise will be developing and implementing it. Further information is required or otherwise it stands as an after-thought.

This SIDB DWP has been prepared to address the CRL Designation conditions 61.1 – 61.8 Social.

P.51, section 6.9.1 (c) – text is missing. This needs to be amended.

Unclear what edit is being requested here as Section 6.9.1 (c) of the SIDB DWP is complete. No change to the SIDB DWP is provided.

A main concerns as a peer reviewer of this and other SIBD DWPs regards the issue of knowing whether implementation and monitoring stated in the SIBD DWP and CCP is carried out and to what effect.

For example, whilst it is evident that a number of my recommendations from previous CRL Project SIBDs have informed this document, I am interested to understand what the learnings combined from all projects regarding social impact and business disruption has been since the beginning of the CRL Project. I acknowledge that an ‘annual report for social impact and business disruptions’ is noted in all SIBD DWPs, yet there is no evidence of these annual reports and what they contain, and their influence upon CRL and its contractors’ approach. For example, who writes this report? Does it refer to all projects on an annual basis, or is there an annual report for each project? Where is this report available to the public, interested parties or peer reviewer?

This SIDB DWP has been prepared to address the CRL Designation conditions 61.1 – 61.8 Social.

A similar issue of transparency and accountability to affected parties or complainants is highlighted by the complaints process. It would be beneficial if annual reports and complaints activity are reported to the CLG as an agenda item. However, there is no evidence that this is conducted.

Consultation and Communications Plan

Recommendation

Response

These issues raise a broader issue regarding the peer review purpose and process. Whilst we have a responsibility to review the draft DWPs, the review loop remains incomplete as there is no stipulated process to review what happens as a result of implementing the CEMP and DWPs. Maintaining accountability throughout the CRL Project, through mid or post-project reviews would be beneficial to supporting CRLs ongoing social licence to operate, not just at the beginning of the project.

Section 7 of the SIDB DWP outlines the monitoring process for the Project DWPs including the SIBD DWP.

CCP Cover page date should be updated to April (not March), as version 1 incorporates feedback from CRL on 8th April 2019.

Noted and the CCP has been updated.

Section 1.3 – reference to Relevant section of DWP where Condition 15.4 (c) is addressed in CCP mentions “N.B: Various persons/groups in this condition are not affected by the specific Project works which are solely Mt Eden based”, is a cut and paste error. The wording should have reference to this Karangahape Road demolition project.

Noted and the CCP has been updated.

As per Condition 28 (e) referenced on p.6 of CCP, Appendix A of the DWP does not include a summary of outstanding issues or disputes raised by parties. If none have been lodged or are outstanding the SIBD DWP should state this.

Currently, there are no outstanding disputes or issues.

Section 8 confirms the complaints process for the Project DWPs including the SIBD DWP.

Recommendation

Response

On p.10 of the CCP it reads: “In addition, the SIBD DWP recommends a project kick-off meeting and that a specific project communications plan be developed for residential occupants (refer section 5.2 of the SIBD DWP)”. This appears to be a crossreferencing error as section 5.2 of the SIBD DWP concerns establishing the affected area. Moreover, the SIBD DWP does not specifically mention or provide for this objective, other than to state: “The C3 Alliance Stakeholder and Communications Manager will meet with Body Corporate Committees or individual residents no later than 6-weeks prior to works commencing to agree a project communication strategy for the residential complex or individual property”. If, based on a previous recommendation in the peer review of Mt Eden Demolition by this author, this is the ‘specific project communications plan’ for residential occupants, it is somewhat unsatisfactory as a communications and engagement strategy.

Noted and the CCP has been updated.

Appendix A of the CCP does not include any details regarding the summary of project communication and consultation. This needs to be amended to ensure that consistent cross-referencing to the SIBD and other relevant DWPs is available and up to date. Moreover, I do not think it appropriate that only Utilities, Mana Whenua and CLG feedback is referenced here. A summary of feedback from interviews and questionnaires with property owners, business owners and residents should be included.

Noted and the CCP has been updated.
