· Reserves Act 1977

· Resource Management Act 1991

· Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012

• Make recommendations to Council on private District Plan Change requests for Council to accept, adopt or reject.

• Approve Council’s list of hearings commissioners under the Resource Management Act 1991, including councillors sitting as hearings commissioners and independent commissioners.

•

• Conduct statutory hearings on regulatory matters and make decisions on those hearings2, excluding those conducted under the Resource Management Act 1991, which are delegated to the Hearings Subcommittee and District Plan Hearings Subcommittee.

• Authorise the submission of appeals to the Environment Court on behalf of Council.

• Hear objections to specified traffic matters where the community board wishes to take an advocacy role.

• Make decisions under Clause 11(e) of the Tenth Schedule of the Local Government Act 1974 and the Transport (Vehicular Traffic Road Closure) Regulations 1965 in respect of temporary road closures, including making decisions on any ancillary matters including, without limitation, approval of temporary “No Stopping” restrictions under Hutt City Council Traffic Bylaw 2017.

• Undertake hearings on road stopping under the Local Government Act 1974.

• Make recommendations to Council whether to proceed with a road stopping and the disposal of stopped road, including (where the proposal includes or involves a related acquisition, disposal or land exchange) a recommendation to Council on the acquisition, disposal or exchange.

• Consider and recommend to Council any request to the Crown that a road is stopped under section 116 of the Public Works Act 1981, and the disposal of the stopped road.

• Make any resolution required under section 319A of the Local Government Act 1974 regarding the naming of new roads and alterations to street names (other than those in the Harbour and Wainuiomata Wards, which are delegated to the community boards in those areas).

• Make decisions on applications required under the Development Contributions Policy for remissions, postponements, reconsiderations and objections.

• Recommend to Council the list of members approved to be members of the District Licensing Committee under section 192 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012.

The Chair of the Regulatory Committee, in conjunction with the Chief Executive, is authorised to appoint a subcommittee of suitably qualified persons to conduct hearings on behalf of the Committee.

The Chair of the Regulatory Committee is authorised to appoint three people from the list prepared under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 to specific meetings (Chair and two members).

General:

• Maintain an overview of work programmes carried out by the Council’s regulatory activities.

• Approval and forwarding of submissions on matters related to the Committee’s area of responsibility.

• Any other matters delegated to the Committee by Council in accordance with approved policies and bylaws.

2 When acting in this capacity the committee has a quasi-judicial role.

NOTE 1:

Council makes decisions to notify District Plan Changes and Variations and call for submissions, on the recommendation of the Regulatory Committee.

District Plan Hearings Subcommittee members are appointed by the Chair, in conjunction with the Chief Executive, and comprise elected members and/or independent commissioners. All District Plan Hearings Subcommittee members must be certified under the Making Good Decisions programme.

District Plan Hearings Subcommittee makes recommendations to the Regulatory Committee for recommendation to Council on proposed District Plan provisions and matters raised in submissions.

Council makes its decision on the provisions and matters raised in submissions. The Council decision may be appealed to the Environment Court.

Council gives final approval to make District Plan changes operative, in accordance with clause 17 of Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991.

NOTE 2:

The Ministry for the Environment advocates that Councils offer specialist RMA training in areas of law which are difficult to grasp or where mistakes are commonly made. This is to complement the Good Decision Making RMA training that they run (which is an overview and basic summary of decision making, rather than an in-depth training in specific areas of the RMA). Therefore in order to facilitate this, the RMA training run for councillors that wish to be hearings commissioners is mandatory.

Reasons for the importance of the training:

1. Hearings commissioners are kept abreast of developments in the legislation.

2. Legal and technical errors that have been made previously are avoided (many of which have resulted in Environment Court action which is costly, time consuming and often creates unrealistic expectations for the community).

3. The reputation of Council as good and fair decision makers or judges (rather than legislators) is upheld.

Report no: RC2020/3/90

Proposed New Private Street Name: Subdivision of 20A Bauchop Road and 28 Freyberg Street, Waterloo

Purpose of Report

1. To seek approval for an appropriate street name for the new private road in the new Subdivision of 20A Bauchop Road and 28 Freyberg Street, Waterloo.

Recommendations

That the Committee:

(i) approves the name for the new private road in the new Subdivision of 20A Bauchop Road and 28 Freyberg Street, Waterloo, attached as Appendix 1 to the report, as suggested below:

a) “Ed Perry” suggested road type “Lane”; or

b) “Poppy” suggested road type “Lane”; or

c) “Cherry” suggested road type “Lane”; or

d) an alternate name from the Reserved Street Name list, attached as Appendix 2 to the report; or

e) an appropriate name tabled during the meeting; and

(ii) approves an appropriate back up road name for options a) through e) above; and

(iii) approves an appropriate road type (as permitted by the New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4819:2011) as shown attached as Appendix 3 to the report.

These recommendations are made so the development may proceed to completion as a variety of utility connections and other administrative bodies require individual street addresses in order for the necessary connections to be provided.

Background

2. The subdivision of 20A Bauchop Road and 28 Freyberg Street, Waterloo will create one new private road and 27 new residential properties, three gaining access off Freyberg Street and 24 gaining access off the new private road, as shown in Appendix 1 attached to the report.

3. The responsibility for naming new private roads within Lower Hutt lies with the Community Boards or, in this case, with the Regulatory Committee for areas of the city not represented by Community Boards.

4. The subdivision cannot proceed to completion without a legal street address.

Discussion

5. The developer has requested that the Committee consider the following names, in order of preference;

a) “Ed Perry” – In recognition of Edmund (Ed) Coombes Perry who served Hutt City Council for 25 years. He became Deputy Town Clerk in 1957 and Town Clerk in 1962 until his retirement in 1977.

b) “Poppy” - Flower which is strongly connected with the common theme of the area. Most neighbouring streets of the development are named after ex-servicemen under “Poppy Places” including Freyberg Street and Bauchop Road.

c) “Cherry” – Represents one of the key specimen trees in the development. The development has been referred to throughout with a logo containing the outline of the Lombard Cherry Tree and its botanical and common name predominantly featured throughout the development.

6. Additional background information on the suggested names is attached to this report as Appendix 4.

7. It is customary with new private roads to place emphasis upon any names suggested by the developer.

8. These names have been checked with Land Information New Zealand and received the following comments (shown in italics).

a) “Ed Perry Lane” - Acceptable to use

b) “Poppy Lane” - Acceptable to use

c) “Cherry Lane” - Acceptable to use

For each name there are similar ones within 10kms driving of the location (Perry Street, Heretaunga/ Poppy Watts Grove, Stokes Valley/ Cherry Blossom Grove, Maungaraki), there is enough differentiation in the road names and with different road types to minimise confusion.

9. When an individual’s first name and/or surname is to be used as a street name the person must be deceased and the name is typically not used unless a family member can be contacted to confirm they are happy with its use.

10. The individual whose name is proposed above is deceased, and the family have confirmed the use of the name is acceptable.

Options

11. The suggested names for the private road meet the requirements of the New Zealand Standard, are approved by Land Information New Zealand, and can be considered for adoption.

a) “Ed Perry”

b) “Poppy”

c) “Cherry”

The Road Type recommended is ‘Lane’.

12. Alternatively, the Committee could select a name from:

a) the Reserved Street Names List attached as Appendix 2; or

b) Other names tabled during the meeting.

13. Other names tabled during the meeting can be considered for use as above but are subject to the requirements of the New Zealand Standard and must have a second recommended name, in case it is not suitable.

14. A back up road name should also be approved from the options presented above, in case there are any issues with the preferred recommendation.

15. An appropriate road type must be selected (as permitted by the New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4819:2011) attached as Appendix 3 to the report.

Climate Change Impact and Considerations

16. The matters addressed in this report have been considered in accordance with the process set out in Council’s Climate Change Considerations Guide.

17. The decision will not increase greenhouse gas emissions, and will not be affected by a changing climate. There are no opportunities in this decision to reduce emissions or build resilience.

Consultation

18. As is normal with the naming of private roads, consultation has been limited to the developer and their community network.

19. Ed Perry’s family are happy for the name to be used.

Legal Considerations

20. The Committee has the delegated responsibility to name the private road.

21. It is important that new streets are named early in the development stage as a variety of utility connections and other administrative bodies require individual street addresses, in order for the necessary connections to be provided.

Financial Considerations

22. There are no financial considerations. The developer is responsible for the necessary street name signs. This will be undertaken by the Council contractor with the cost paid by the developer.

Background

2. A new 32 lot residential subdivision is currently under construction at 1041A High Street, Avalon.

3. The new subdivision includes a new public road and a private road to access the residential lots, as shown in Appendix 1 attached to the report.

4. The subdivision cannot proceed to completion without approved street names and legalised street addresses.

5. Proposed street names were initially presented to the Regulatory Committee at its meeting 10 March 2020.

6. At that meeting, several neighbours to the development spoke during public comment to express their unhappiness with the proposed street names (van Baarle, Willem, Rotterdam and Tulip).

7. The Regulatory Committee therefore resolved that the item be referred to the next ordinary meeting and requested officers to undertake wider consultation with the adjacent residents and the developer and report back.

Discussion

8. The developer initially requested that the Committee consider the following street names. All submitted names present strong connections to the developer’s family and the Dutch community as a whole.

a. For Public Road (1): van Baarle

b. For Private Road (2): Willem, Rotterdam, Tulip

9. Subsequent to the Regulatory Committee meeting of 10 March 2020, officers consulted the adjoining property owners for street names and received the following suggestions.

a. For Public Road (1): Motutawa

b. For Private Road (2): Tarata, Kaka, Manu

10. The meanings and historical significance of these names is detailed in Appendix 4 to this report.

11. A member of the public also suggested that a name with closer links to the Avalon TV studio or local market gardens would be appropriate. Several names with this relevance were determined by the historical specialists at the Petone Community Library, but there has not been an opportunity to have these checked by LINZ, or confirmed with family members, prior to the Committee meeting So these names are not recommended for use at this time (these can subsequently be checked and added to the Reserved Street Name List if appropriate).

12. It is customary with new private roads to place emphasis upon any names suggested by the developer. However, the Committee has the delegated authority to select a street name from any of the submitted names.

13. A complete list of submissions/ possible names for adoption and their explanation is attached to this report as Appendix 4.

14. Additional background information on all submitted names is attached to this report as Appendix 5.

15. These names have been checked with Land Information New Zealand and received the following comments (shown in italics).

a) “Van Baarle Place” - Acceptable to use

b) “Motutawa Place” – On the Reserved Street Name List, pre-approved by LINZ

c) “Willem” - Acceptable to use. NOTE: there is William Street, Petone (approx. 6kms) similarities and proximity could cause confusion.

d) “Rotterdam” - Acceptable to use

e) “Tulip” – Acceptable to use

f) “Tarata” – Acceptable to use

g) “Kaka” - On the Reserved Street Name List, pre-approved by LINZ

h) “Manu” - Acceptable to use

16. When an individual’s first name and/or surname is to be used as a street name the person must be deceased and the name is typically not used unless a family member can be contacted to confirm they are happy with its use.

17. The individuals whose names are proposed above are deceased, and the van Baarle family have confirmed the use of the name is acceptable.

Options

18. The suggested names for the Public Road (1) meet the requirements of the New Zealand Standard, is approved by Land Information New Zealand, and can be considered for adoption.

a) “van Baarle”

b) “Motutawa”

19. The Road Type recommended is: Place.

20. The suggested names for the Private Road (2) meet the requirements of the New Zealand Standard, is approved by Land Information New Zealand, and can be considered for adoption;

a) “Willem”

b) “Rotterdam”

c) “Tulip”

d) “Tarata”

e) “Kaka”

f) “Manu”

21. The Road Types recommended are:

a) Lane; or

b) Way

22. Alternatively, the Committee could select a name for either streets from;

a) the Reserved Street Name List, attached as Appendix 2; or

b) the List of Possible Names for Adoption, attached as Appendix 4; or

c) other names tabled during the meeting.

23. Other names tabled during the meeting and names in Appendix 4 that have not yet been checked with LINZ can be considered for use as above but are subject to the requirements of the New Zealand Standard and must have a second recommended name, in case it is not suitable.

24. An appropriate road type must be selected (as permitted by the New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4819:2011) attached as Appendix 3 to the report.

Climate Change Impact and Considerations

25. The matters addressed in this report have been considered in accordance with the process set out in Council’s Climate Change Considerations Guide.

26. The decision will not increase greenhouse gas emissions, and will not be affected by a changing climate. There are no opportunities in this decision to reduce emissions or build resilience.

Consultation

27. Initial public consultation (prior to the Committee meeting on 10 March 2020) was carried out via an advertisement in the Hutt News. Suggestions were also invited from Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust (PNBST). No public submissions or suggestions from PNBST were received.

28. As requested by the Regulatory Committee, subsequent consultations were carried out with the neighbouring residents resulting in the list of submissions attached as Appendix 5 to this report.

29. Palmerston North Maori Reserved Trust and Wellington Tenths Trust have expressed their support for the name “Motutawa Place”. Their letter of Support is included in Appendix 5.

30. Officers have consulted Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust on the new submissions. However a response had not been received at the time this report was finalised.

31. The van Baarle family has expressed their support for the names related to their family to be used.

Legal Considerations

32. The Regulatory Committee has the delegated responsibility to name the streets.

33. It is important that new streets are named early in the development stage as a variety of utility connections and other administrative bodies require individual street addresses, in order for the necessary connections to be provided.

Financial Considerations

34. There are no financial considerations. The developer is responsible for the necessary street name signs. This will be undertaken by the Council contractor with the cost paid for by the developer.
