Introduction

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 in the vicinity of Mt Eden station. The works relating to this Social Impact and Business Disruption Delivery Work Plan (SIBD DWP) constitute part of the enabling works for the CRL. The works (the Project) involve the construction of an extension to the existing passenger rail network from the current termination point within the Britomart Transport Centre (BTC), westwards underneath the former Chief Post Office building (CPO) and lower Queen Street. The Project footprint is shown generally by the blue shaded area in Figure 1.1 below.

Purpose of the Social Impact and Business Disruption DWP

This SIBD DWP has been prepared to identify measures that will be implemented to mitigate and manage the potential adverse effects on businesses and residents during construction of the Project.

The objective of the DWP is: To avoid, remedy or mitigate the adverse effects arising from disruption to businesses, residents and community services/facilities so far as reasonably practicable.

This SIBD DWP incorporates the requirements of CRL designation Condition 61 and BTC designation Condition 33 and will be implemented throughout the construction period. The SIBD DWP has been prepared in consultation with the community, businesses owners, affected parties and affected in proximity parties (as required by Condition 61.3 of the CRL designation and Condition 33.3 of the BTC designation1). It outlines site specific mitigation measures, as well as cross-referencing to the mitigation measures in other DWPs for the Project, to address disruption to access for residents and business, disruption effects that are likely to result in the loss of customers or business, and loss of amenity for residents and business as a result of construction activities.

Project Description

2.1

Overview

The Project involves the construction of an extension to the existing passenger rail network from the current termination point within the BTC, westwards underneath the CPO building and lower Queen Street. Separate works are being undertaken to continue the CRL tunnels from this point under the Downtown Shopping Centre site (which is being redeveloped by Precinct Properties), and then up Albert Street.

The Project will involve significant works beneath the CPO, with the construction of two new rail tunnels extending westwards beneath the basement floor level. In lower Queen Street, sheet piling will be extended across the road corridor, excavation undertaken to form the tunnels followed by reinstatement of the road corridor following the completion of works. During construction, existing ticketing and retail functions and pedestrian access to the station will be accommodated in Station Plaza, at the rear of the CPO building.

Surface works will also be required in QEII Square associated with the Downtown Shopping Centre redevelopment, including construction of the CRL rail tunnels beneath this site (Precinct Properties scope of work).

A detailed description of the construction works is provided in the CEMP.

2.2

Construction Methodology

The Project construction works will be divided into four key stages (refer to Construction Staging Plans provided at Appendix B).

Table 2.1 below outlines the key activities to be undertaken during each stage of the works.

Social Impact Assessment Reporting

Social Impact Assessment (SIA) reporting was undertaken to support the CRL Notice of Requirement (NoR) and the BTC Alteration to Designation, specifically: A SIA was prepared by Aurecon for the CRL Britomart Transport Centre Alteration to Designation3; and A SIA was prepared by Beca Carter Hollings & Ferner Ltd for the CRL Notice of Requirement 4.

A summary of the key findings and recommendations of these reports is outlined below.

3.1

Adverse Effects and Mitigation

The SIA reports prepared for the CRL conclude that works will be predominantly located underground or contained internally within existing buildings (such as the CPO building), once the extended railway is operational. Accordingly, it is considered that any actual or potential adverse effects to the social environment will occur during the period up to and during surface construction works being undertaken, including (but not limited to): Disruption to people’s way of life from construction works affecting access for businesses and residents in some instances, creating social severance issues; Potential impacts on people’s health and wellbeing, particularly during the construction phase of the works as a result of physical environment effects such as vibration (e.g. creating uncertainty/annoyance and/or disturbance for residents and businesses); and Impacts on tenants and leaseholders for whom relocation from the CPO is required, as a result of feelings of uncertainty as to the temporary occupancy of land, cost to business and fears about relocation or displacement.

Consultation undertaken prior to the SIA preparation indicated that while there is general support for the Project, some directly affected parties and members of the community have concerns regarding relocation, disturbance and amenity effects.

The SIA reports identify a number of measures and recommendations to mitigate the potential adverse effects of the Project, including: Regular and on-going information sharing and liaison with affected persons in order to provide certainty where the community is feeling unclear (such as the Project programme and relocation of tenancies) is considered the most effective mitigation method. Communication and clarification of relevant Project details to directly affected landowners, interested parties and the local community is an important way to continue to include people and increase understandings of the actual and potential (both positive and negative) Project effects.

Preparation of a Consultation and Communication Plan (CCP) and SIBD DWP to form the basis for the mitigation of adverse effects, including actual or potential adverse social effects, including specific effects on businesses and residences and community facilities/services identified at the time of construction.

Preparation of a Transport, Access and Parking DWP to form the basis for the mitigation of adverse effects on the transport network.

3.2

Positive Effects

The SIA reports consider that the construction phase of the Project may result in potential positive effects for local businesses from increased business activity associated with increased employment in the area e.g. construction personnel.

A number of positive effects are anticipated once the CRL project is operational, including the following that have social benefits: Provision of an efficient and major transport hub with ancillary activities Provision for more train movements on the Auckland rail network through unlocking the capacity constraint of Britomart, which will improve accessibility and mobility in and through the CBD and have a positive impact on people’s way of life; Increase commuter access to the city centre, which provides the opportunity to stimulate economic development and as a result enhance community well-being; and Provide a catalyst for inner city re-development by creating new major transport hubs around the underground rail stations, stimulating land use intensification and regeneration of central city areas. Potential social effects include improved quality of environment (reduced car borne movements), economic opportunities and opportunities for increased community development in the CBD. This is consistent with the wider urban transformation process and aspirations for the CBD identified in the Auckland Plan and City Centre Master Plan.

Methodology

The methodology for assessing potential disruption effects on the community, businesses owners, affected parties and affected in proximity parties associated with construction of the Project is outlined below. The methodology addresses the requirements of the relevant designation conditions and has been developed to take into account guidance from the International Association for Impact Assessment ‘Social Impact Assessment: Guidance for assessing and managing the social impacts of projects’, April 2015.

4.1

Overview of methodology

Table 4.1:

SIBD DWP Methodology

Outline of Methodology Approach Review and summarise the findings/recommendations of the Social Impact Assessments supporting the BTC Alteration to Designation and the CRL NoR as relevant to the Project.

Confirm Project consultation undertaken to date, key issues raised during consultation and future consultation to be undertaken. This has been established through discussions with AT’s project staff and advisors.

Identify existing Project environment and those parties potentially affected by the Project (these include directly affected parties, affected in proximity parties, the community, community facility operators and business owners as per the designation Conditions). Parties identified through the following mechanisms: Review Terraview database to identify property owners; Desktop identification of affected buildings and occupiers; Walkover of wider Project area – Quay Street to the north, Gore Street to the east, Customs Street East to the south and Albert Street to the west; and Review of Project Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE) and technical reports supporting the AEE, including Construction Noise and Vibration, Transport, Air Quality.

Confirm effects of the Project: Discussion with DSBJV construction experts and walkovers of Project area; Review AEE and specialist reports supporting the NoRs and regional consent applications; Discussion with environmental specialists preparing the Project DWPs. Initial meeting with interested parties, the purpose of which was: To provide interested parties with an overview of the Project works, including construction methodology, works duration and staging of works, along with measures to be implemented to avoid remedy or mitigate adverse environmental effects; To understand: - The operational and access (pedestrian, vehicle, cycle, loading and servicing) requirements of the respective party/building and how they may be affected by the works; - The scale of disruption for the party during the construction works; - Key concerns of the party in relation to the Project.

Analyse meeting findings for each interested party: Discussion with DSBJV and environmental specialists, along with AT as required; Where required, establish measures to avoid, remedy or mitigate adverse effects arising from social or business disruption during the Project.

Follow up meeting (if required) to discuss the management of adverse effects with respect to the interested party.

Draft SIBD DWP - incorporate consultation outcomes and designation condition requirements.

4.2

Identification of consultation parties

Condition 61.3 of the CRL designation and Condition 33.3 of the BTC designation require that the SIBD DWP be prepared in consultation with the community, businesses owners, affected parties and affected in proximity parties. The existing social environment for the Project is described in Section 5 of this DWP, and the parties with whom consultation has been undertaken are identified in Section 6.1 of this DWP.

4.3

Engagement Questions

As outlined above, consultation has been undertaken with selected representatives of the community, businesses owners, affected parties and affected in proximity parties to identify the scale of disruption, specific access and servicing requirements, and client and visitor behaviour and requirements.

A list of questions was developed around the following key themes in order to guide the meetings with interested parties and ensure consistency throughout the engagement: Building tenant characteristics – number of tenants, type, number of staff.

Access for building tenants and visitors – private vehicles, service vehicles, pedestrian access, cycle access and disabled access.

Business operations – hours of operation, access requirements (private vehicles, service vehicles, pedestrian access, cycle access and disabled access), details of people who access the building and time of access, when the building is open to the public vs. restricted access.

Business customer/client information – predominant pedestrian flow, peak periods of custom (hours and days).

Other operational requirements – general (i.e. planned renovations over the next 3 years).

Other operational requirements – specific (i.e. day and time of deliveries, specialised or sensitive equipment on site).

These questions were posed in order to initiate meaningful conversation around specific issues that may be generated through the Project. As well as informing the SIBD DWP, these conversations provide a calibration with the previous SIA reporting, ensuring the potential social impacts identified in 2013 and 2015 remain valid in the Project’s current social environment.

Consultation was not limited to the above questions, but encompassed a range of access and other specific issues to interested parties. The key issues raised by the interested parties are summarised in Section 6.2 of this DWP and the consultation records attached as Appendix C.

Existing Social Environment

This section outlines the existing social environment of the Project area and describes the community of interest for the purpose of this SIBD DWP. It provides a baseline context and understanding of the Project environs including demographic characteristics, key land uses, community facilities and travel patterns.

5.1

Community of Interest

The Project is located within the Auckland Central Business District (CBD) but it is recognised that it will contribute to, and impact on the City overall (wider community).

The existing environment and community of interest for the purpose of this SIBD DWP has been identified as the land within, adjacent to, or surrounding the Project area (which is bound by Tyler Street, Commerce Street, Galway Street and lower Queen Street). The community of interest with respect to this DWP is shown by the yellow box in Figure 5.1.

Figure 5.1: Existing Environment and community of interest for the purpose of the SIBD DWP.

The Project’s community of interest has been determined by drawing upon a range of Project related information, including existing Project documentation and effects assessments, construction staging/methodology, information gained from site walkovers, collaboration with the environmental specialists preparing the various Project Delivery Work Plans and Environmental Management Plans, along with the outcomes of stakeholder engagement. Key components in this regard include: Social Impact Assessment (SIA) reporting prepared as part of the Notice of Requirement to alter the Britomart Transport Centre designation and the CRL Notice of Requirement (refer

16 Section 3 of this DWP). In particular, the description of the existing social environment of the Project area, which provided a baseline context and understanding of the Project environs, including demographic characteristics, key land uses, community facilities and travel patterns, along with identifying key social impacts of the Project.

Observational site walkovers, from which an understanding of the social context and range of land uses, businesses and activities within and surrounding the Project area was gained.

Collaboration with the wider DSBJV team, inclusive of the contractor team and Project environmental specialists, in order to understand the proposed construction methodologies and staging and consequently, the nature, scale and extent of environmental effects that may result from the Project. Key environmental considerations in determining the Project’s community of interest included (but were not limited to): Predicted construction noise and vibration levels, based on modelling of proposed construction machinery, anticipated noise/vibration levels and setback distances to sensitive receivers. Refer to Section 4.1 and Appendix B of the Construction Noise and Vibration DWP for further information on construction noise effects and Section 4.2 and Appendix C in relation to vibration effects.

Potential impacts on the surrounding transport network, including pedestrian, cycle and the road transport networks, and effects on access to property located within or adjacent to the Project area. Refer to Section 4.4 of the Transport Access and Parking DWP for the proposed Traffic Sequencing Diagrams, Section 4.11 for discussion on impacts on access to the Project area, Section 4.12 for discussion on access to private property and Sections 4.15 and 4.16 for impacts on public transport.

The outcomes of consultation with stakeholders (in particular Cooper and Company and Precinct Properties) in determining those businesses/parties that may be affected by the Project and who should form part of the community of interest.

It is noted that ongoing community engagement will be undertaken during the course of the Project and will include communication with businesses, residents and other parties in areas beyond the ‘community of interest’ shown in Figure 5.1 (including the wider Britomart Precinct area). The nature of construction activities and associated effects will determine the extent of wider community engagement to be undertaken once physical works have commenced.

5.1.1

Demographic Characteristics

The SIA reports prepared to support the CRL NoR and the BTC alteration to designation provide comprehensive reporting on the demographic characteristics of the Project and surrounding areas (such as population size and broad socio-economic characteristics) based on information gathered

by Statistics New Zealand’s for the Auckland Harbourside Census Area Unit. This information is not repeated in this DWP, other than the following summary of the key demographic observations of the Project area community: The area has witnessed notable growth over the last decade, in line with population increase in the wider central business district residential growth (though relatively faster).

The resident community is dominated by people born overseas.

The resident community is predominantly a young population being either young working age or tertiary education age. Consequently, housing ownership is lower than average in Auckland and household sizes are small. A lower than average income is noted but reflective of the age of the population.

There is a small percentage of children and youths compared to Auckland as a whole, again reflective of the dominant resident population.

5.2.5

Community facilities

No community facilities are located within the immediate or surrounding Project area.

5.3

Pedestrian Travel Patterns

Pedestrian surveys were undertaken around the Project area as part of the Transport, Access and Parking (TAP) DWP. The surveys were undertaken during the morning peak (7-9am), inter-peak (122pm) and evening peak (4-6pm) periods at various locations around the Project area. The survey results show very high levels of pedestrian activity on the western side of the former CPO building and lower Queen Street. This is due to public transport facilities located on lower Queen Street, in the BTC and at the Auckland Ferry Terminal. The evening peak (4-6pm) is the heaviest peak. Refer to Section 3.2.2 of the TAP DWP for further information.

Existing Transport Network

5.4.1

Road Layout

The main streets which will be affected by the proposed works are lower Queen Street, Commerce Street, Galway Street and Tyler Street, as follows: Lower Queen Street is identified as a Pedestrian Mall in the Auckland Council District Plan (Central Area Section). It is closed to general vehicle traffic between Tyler and Galway Streets (however traffic can turn left onto lower Queen Street from Galway Street and access Tyler Street from Quay Street and lower Queen Street). Buses were relocated from lower Queen Street in advance of the Project in April 2016. Bus facilities (bus shelters etc.) are currently being removed from the public realm.

Commerce Street has unrestricted vehicle movements. It accommodates bus stops and some short term parking (P5 and P10) and loading zones. A temporary drop off area is provided outside the rear entrance of BTC, between the Glasshouse and Commerce Street. Tyler Street between lower Queen Street and Commerce Street accommodates eastbound vehicle movements (reversed in advance of the Project) while westbound vehicle movements only, are accommodated from Commerce Street to Britomart Place.

Galway Street, from Britomart Place to lower Queen Street, accommodates westbound vehicle movements only. General traffic on Galway Street is prohibited from turning right onto lower Queen Street. A series of loading spaces, pick up and drop off spaces and a taxi rank are provided along Galway Street.

5.4.2

Key Transport Facilities

The following key public transport facilities are located within or within close proximity to the Project area: Auckland Ferry Terminal; Shed 10, Auckland cruise ship terminal; Britomart Train Station; Northern Bus Express bus stops, now located in lower Albert Street; Other bus services to the North Shore, East and West Auckland; and Taxi stands.

5.4.3

Pedestrian and Cycle Facilitates

Footpaths are provided on both sides of Commerce Street, Galway Street and Tyler Street. Being a Pedestrian Mall, lower Queen Street has increased pedestrian access. The BTC is noted to have 10 pedestrian accesses, namely: 3 front accesses on lower Queen Street.

2 side accesses and 1 rear access on Tyler Street.

2 side accesses and 1 rear access on Galway Street.

1 rear access facing Commerce Street.

The BTC alteration to designation Transport Assessment reports that the Queen Street south entrance next to Galway Street currently attracts the most pedestrian traffic, with some 35% and 45% of the total pedestrian traffic in the morning and evening peak periods respectively.

Some uncovered cycle parks are provided near the corner of Tyler Street with Commerce Street.

Social and Business Disruption Effects

6.1

Consultation

Extensive consultation has been undertaken with the community, businesses owners, affected parties and affected in proximity parties in preparing this SIBD DWP. The objective of the consultation was to consult with representatives from these various groups to establish an understanding of site specific access and operational requirements and key concerns regarding the construction works, to identify mitigation and/or management measures to be implemented to address specific concerns raised. Specifically, engagement was undertaken with all ground floor businesses or tenants and a selection of tenants from each multi-storey building within the SIBD DWP community of interest. Within multi-storey buildings, tenants were selected to capture those who may have particular operational/access requirements or construction sensitivities (such as construction noise and vibration) and to engage with tenants across a range of floors within the building.

Table 6.1 outlines a list of landowners, building managers, body corporate or building representatives, occupiers and businesses consulted to inform this SIBD DWP. As noted in Section 5.1 above, consultation will remain on-going throughout the Project and will include engagement with parties both within and beyond the ‘community of interest’ identified for this SIBD DWP (including the wider Britomart Precinct area).

CPO Tenants

Consultation to inform this DWP has not been undertaken with tenants in the CPO building who are being relocated from the building prior to the commencement of the Project. It is acknowledged that these tenants will be subject to some level of social impact and business disruption as a result of the relocation process. The relocation process (inclusive of any relocation or re-establishment assistance) is being managed by AT. AT have been in discussion with tenants located on the upper floors of the CPO in relation to the Project, impacts on existing tenancies, and relocation options for at least the last 12 months. AT have agreed relocation packages with tenants on an individual basis. Relocation packages cover items such as relocation costs, fit out costs for new premises, business disruption and rent differential as appropriate. AT are also assisting tenants with practical handover arrangements.

AT’s tenants located on the ground floor of the CPO have short-term (typically monthly) lease agreements. These agreements expire in late 2017, prior to the commencement of Project works in the CPO. AT have been in discussion with these tenants in relation to the Project, in particular timing around closure of the CPO and duration of lease agreements.

AT has been in discussions with Cooper and Company, the long-term lessee of the upper floors of the CPO, regarding the acquisition of a construction lease of the premises since mid-2015.

Negotiations are still continuing with key elements regarding: the proposed length of the construction lease; the value of the construction lease; costs associated with engaging in the process; the use of the space during construction; impacts on the current fit-out and requirements for reinstatement. AT acknowledges that construction of any aspects of the City Rail Link touching or impacting on the use of the upper levels of the CPO is dependent on the successful conclusion of the construction lease negotiations

6.1.2

Community Liaison Group

A Community Liaison Group (CLG) has been established for the CRL Britomart and Albert Street construction areas. The CLG was formed to establish a group to represent interests of the wider community, including from local residents, businesses, community groups and other interested or affected parties. Section 8 of this DWP provides details on consultation with the CLG as part of the development of this DWP. Section 11 outlines procedures for on-going CLG consultation. Refer to Section 8.1.5 of the Project Communication and Consultation Plan for further details on the CLG.

6.2

Consultation records

Consultation records were prepared after each meeting with interested parties in order to document the engagement undertaken. Tables detailing the consultation party, site specific information regarding access and operational requirements, key concerns, mitigation measures to be implemented through existing DWPs and site specific mitigation measures to be implemented as a result of consultation are contained in Appendix C.

Implementation Plan for the Management and Monitoring of Social and Business Disruption Effects

7.1

General Environmental Management and Monitoring – Delivery Work Plans

General social impact and business disruption effects will be mitigated and monitored through the suite of DWPs and management plans required under the designation and resource consent conditions and which form part of the CEMP for the Project. Details of the management and monitoring requirements with respect to the relevant DWPs to be implemented for the duration of the Project are provided below, with site specific mitigation outlined in Section 7.2 of this SIBD DWP.

7.1.1

Transport, Access and Parking

The Transport, Access and Parking DWP (refer to Appendix E of the CEMP) outlines how adverse effects on the road transport network, vehicle parking and access, along with pedestrian and cycle access will be managed and monitored during the Project works (refer to Sections 4 and 7 of the Transport, Access and Parking DWP).

Section 4 of the Transport, Access and Parking DWP sets outs measures to be implemented to ensure pedestrian safety and amenity is maintained throughout the Project, pedestrian access to private properties is maintained at all times, vehicle access to private property is provided to the greatest extent possible and the road transport network is managed for the duration of construction by adopting the best practicable option to manage congestion. Traffic modelling and pedestrian and cyclists assessments were undertaken as part of the development of the DWP to inform the traffic management measures to be implemented.

7.1.1.1

Pedestrian Priority

Specific pedestrian prioritisation measures that will be put in place to prioritise and improve the amenity, safety and capacity of the pedestrian environment include; Footpath widening on Galway Street; New signalised pedestrian entrance for the BTC on Commerce Street; Pedestrian footbridge over the construction trench site on lower Queen Street; New zebra crossings on Galway and Tyler Streets; and Wayfinding signs installed at key decision points on major approach routes and between transport modes. Refer to Section 7.1.8 of this DWP for further detail on wayfinding signage Refer to Section 4.16.1 of the Transport, Access and Parking DWP for further details on pedestrian prioritisation measures.

7.1.1.2

Vehicle Access

Where vehicle access to properties adjacent to the Project area cannot be provided during discrete construction related events that require the temporary and short term closure of Tyler or Galway Streets, alternative parking for the residents, staff and clients of adjacent buildings will be provided at the Downtown or Britomart Car Parks if required. The Project will lease a number of car parks at either of these locations, and an assigned car park will be offered to the affected residents and business for use during closures exceeding three hours.

Residents or tenants of buildings within or adjacent to the Project area will be provided with over 24 hours’ notice in advance of a planned event, such as temporary road closures, that is in place for less than 6 hours or over 72 hours’ notice when a planned event is in place for more than six hours, in

Delivery Work Plan

July 2016

26 order to allow suitable travel arrangements to be made. Notwithstanding this, should residents/tenants have urgent travel requirements and be unexpectedly ‘blocked in’ as the result of a temporary closure, taxi vouchers will be provided to these residents by the Project team.

7.1.1.3

Kerbside Management

To facilitate the construction works, and to mitigate losses of short term parking, a number of changes to kerbside management will be undertaken prior to commencement of the Project. In particular: Existing taxi stands will be relocated from Galway and Tyler Streets (west of Commerce Street) to the eastern side of these Streets (east of Commerce Street). P5 parking spaces will also be provided in the same area.

A new loading zone (for public use outside construction hours) will be created in Tyler Street to the rear of 148 Quay Street.

The existing loading zone on Galway Street east of Commerce Street will be relocated further east on Galway Street.

The works will result in the loss of 13 on-street parking spaces from around the Project area and Britomart Precinct. However, the public car park located on Britomart Place (opposite Takutai Square) is available for longer term parking to mitigate the loss of the on-street parking spaces.

Refer to Section 6.4 of the Transport, Access and Parking DWP for further information in this regard.

7.1.1.4

Workforce Travel Management

A Workforce Travel Plan will be prepared for each construction site outlining on-site car parking management and methods for encouraging travel to the site using forms of transport other than private vehicle to assist in mitigating localised traffic effects.

7.1.2

Construction Noise and Vibration

The Construction Noise and Vibration DWP (refer to Appendix F of the CEMP) outlines the Project noise and vibration standards, and how adverse construction noise and vibration effects will be managed and monitored. In addition, Site Specific Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plans (SSCNVMP) will be prepared and implemented for sensitive receivers where construction noise or vibration does not comply with the Project Noise or Vibration Standards. Specifically: SSCNMPs will be prepared for HSBC House (1 Queen Street), the Endeans building (2 Queen Street), Zurich House (21 Queen Street) and Hotel Mercure (8 Customs Street East); and SSCVMPs will be prepared for the CPO (12 Queen Street) and the Endeans Building (2 Queen Street).

Site Specific Plans are included as Appendix D of the CNV DWP. As outlined in CRL designation Condition 31, BTC designation Condition 25, and Section 3.1 of the CNV DWP, construction noise will be measured and assessed in accordance with the provisions of the New Zealand Standard NZS 6803:1999 “Acoustics - Construction Noise”. Construction Vibration will be measures and assessed in accordance with German Standard DIN 4150-3:1999 pursuant to BTC designation Condition 26 and CRL designation Condition 33 and Section 3.2 of the CNV DWP. General noise and vibration mitigation and management measures that will be implemented during construction include: Scheduling above ground high-noise and/or vibration activities that are close to residential buildings for during the day (to avoid the night-time period).

Delivery Work Plan

July 2016

27 Scheduling above ground high-noise and/or vibration activities that are close to commercial buildings for evening and night-time periods.

Where practicable, quiet and low vibration equipment/models will be used in favour of noisy/high vibration equipment.

Exhaust silencers will be fitted on mechanical plant.

Diesel engines will be substituted with electric motors where practicable.

Avoid unnecessary noise, such as use of horns and louds site radios.

Tonal reversing alarms will be prohibited on site.

Maximise the distance between the noise source and the nearest sensitive receiver by positioning fixed plant away from sensitive receivers.

Undertake regular noise and vibration monitoring to confirm compliance, or identify high noise and/or vibration machinery (refer to Section 7 of the Noise and Vibration DWP).

Further details on noise and vibration mitigation and management measures are provided in Section 5 of the Construction Noise and Vibration DWP.

7.1.3

Air Quality

The Air Quality DWP (Appendix L of the CEMP) outlines how adverse effects on air quality during the construction works will be managed and monitored. The Air Quality DWP sets out monitoring requirements (Section 4 of the Air Quality DWP) and management procedures (Section 5 of the Air Quality DWP) to ensure that construction air quality effects are kept to a practical minimum and do not result in offensive or objectionable dust, odours or hazardous air pollutants beyond the CRL designation boundary. General dust control measures that will be employed to control dust from construction activities include: Utilising windbreaks around stockpiles (if stockpiles are used during the works); Limiting disturbance of soil or dusty materials; Limiting area of exposed materials; Temporary stabilisation of unpaved roading surfaces or yard areas through the use of dust suppressants; Maintenance of surface moisture content; and Removing excavated spoil from site on a regular basis.

Dust will be monitored throughout the construction works on a daily basis. Two portable and continuous dust monitors will be set up within lower Queen Street close to Tyler and Galway Street (i.e. to the north and south of the construction area). This will ensure that the monitors are located close to sensitive off-site neighbours and adjacent to construction activities (e.g. trench excavation) as they occur. These locations will also allow the monitoring to detect any high dust levels as they occur and allow a response in order to reduce dust levels before it becomes a nuisance for the neighbours. Refer to Section 4 of the Air Quality DWP (section 4) for further details on visual, instrumental and meteorological monitoring measures to be implemented throughout the works.

7.1.4

Building and Structural Stability

The Historic Heritage DWP (Appendix H of the CEMP), CNV DWP and CEMP outline how building and structural stability will be managed and monitored during construction works. Section 6 of the Historic Heritage DWP, Section 7.5 of the CNV DWP and Section 5.1.16 of the CEMP, outline the procedures for pre-construction and post-construction building surveys to be undertaken as part of the works. As outlined in Section 7.1.2 above, construction vibration levels will be managed and monitored in accordance with the Project vibration standards. Further monitoring of buildings

Delivery Work Plan

July 2016

28 identified as sensitive receivers through the pre-construction building surveys will also be undertaken throughout the Project.

7.1.5

Network Utilities

The Project will require the installation of several new network utility connections within the road corridor of Galway, Tyler and Commerce Streets as part of the temporary accommodation facilities to be provided in Station Plaza. A number of network utilities will also need to be relocated or protected prior to piling works in lower Queen Street (refer to Sections 2.2.5 and 5.1.15 of the Project CEMP).

Network utility relocation and protection works will be undertaken during the Project to provide for the continued operation of utilities and security of supply. No long-term network utility shutdowns are planned during the construction works. Should any short-term and temporary shut downs be required during the works, appropriate notification will be provided to all impacted parties.

To provide for the continued operation of network utilities and security of supply during the Project, a robust identification and management process both pre-construction and construction will be undertaken.

Prior to physical construction works, a comprehensive process will be undertaken to locate utilities using as-built utility drawings provided by the respective NUOs, desktop analysis from the as-built drawings, undertaking physical investigation works (pot holing) of network utilities to confirm their location and meetings with the NUOs. Prior to the commencement of construction, an overview methodology of the utility works outlining the location, protection, support, relocation and/or reinstatement of each respective utility based on the previous assessment and investigations will be produced and submitted to each NUO for review and approval. A works methodology and Work Method Statement, along with a Job Safety Environmental Analysis (JSEA), will be prepared by the Site Engineer in relation to all network utility works. These measures will be used by the site team to manage any potential impacts and risks related to network utility works.

The Project Zero Harm and Safety Management Plan will contain further details around safe work practices and risk management that would be implemented in the unlikely event of a network utility incident.

Refer to Sections 2.2.5 and 5.1.15 of the CEMP for further detail on utility requirements associated with the Project.

7.1.6

Impacts on Custom or Revenue

Given the nature and scale of the Project, there are both economic opportunities and impacts that could result from the construction works.

Opportunities exist for the potential increase in patronage to food providers in the Project area as a result of the closure of the Downtown Shopping Centre food court, construction workers in the area, and changes to pedestrian movement patterns. However, if not carefully managed significant impacts may occur on such businesses. In order to address these matters wayfinding and signage will be provided for businesses within, adjacent or in close proximity to the Project, where ‘visibility’ and access to the business is impacted by the construction works.

As part of the ongoing communication campaign for CRL, media such as the Project website, Facebook Page and fortnightly newsletter will include messages to the effect that local businesses are operating as usual, and any specific access information. Notwithstanding these mitigation measures, AT will work with individual business owners who consider that their businesses are

Delivery Work Plan

July 2016

29 suffering negative financial or trading impacts resulting in loss of profit during construction of the Project. AT will meet with the party concerned, on a without prejudice basis, to better understand the nature of the business disruption and quantum of any loss. Further mitigation measures will be explored, including additional signage and greater use of communications media, and AT will work with DSBJV to identify whether any changes can practicably be made to lessen the impact of the construction works.

AT will consider financial compensation claims on a cases by case basis. Potentially affected businesses are expected to: Take all reasonable measures to work with AT and DSBJV to mitigate any loss; Explain how any loss of profits is attributable to disruption caused by the Project construction works; and Be prepared to provide detailed records of turnover to quantify any loss.

Where any financial compensation claim is not able to be resolved directly with the party affected, a formal claim may be lodged using the procedures set out in the Public Works Act 1981 as noted in section 9.1 below.

7.1.6.1

Business Signage

To mitigate the potential impact on businesses within, adjacent or in close proximity to the Project area where existing business signage, visibility or pedestrian access is impacted by the Project, opportunities will exist to provide wayfinding and supporting signage.

Space on Project construction hoardings will be used to display key messages related to the operation of some business during the construction phase, such as advising to the public that businesses remain in operation, and or direct visitors to the building entrance. Construction hoardings will be designed so that they are legible when viewed from a distance (refer to Section 6 of the Urban Design DWP for further detail). An example of such signage is provided below in Figure 7.1.

Figure 7.1: Indicative Hoarding Design – Continued Business Operations

Signage may also be placed on the surface of footpaths within the Project area using painted or ‘stick-on’ messages.

Auckland Transport will engage with Cooper and Company on the design of signage required in relation to the Britomart Precinct. This is to assist designing and putting in place effective business signage. Ongoing engagement and feedback will continue to be sought from affected business with regard to the particular visibility and access requirements of the business and the effectiveness of business signage.

7.1.7

Public Safety during the Works

The DSBJV will adopt Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles in the design and layout of Project construction areas in order to reduce opportunities for offending and increase feelings of safety during construction. Natural surveillance, access control and territorial reinforcement will be facilitated by:

30 Using the shortest, least sight-limiting sections of fencing appropriate for the adjacent public realm and pedestrian movements.

Providing good and consistent levels of lighting along all public and pedestrian routes.

Installing security lights around the Project area, such as building entrance ways, and Construction Support Areas, and locating lights in such a way as to light the faces of people in the area and provide maximum visibility.

Providing CCTV coverage of the public realm.

Clear identification of entry / exit points for construction sites and displaying security system signage at access points.

Creating a sense of ownership among working crews and the public.

Ensuring the Project area is well managed throughout the construction phase in order to discourage negative behaviours, defacement or vandalism of the construction area (i.e. graffiti) or crime.

Limiting access to vulnerable surfaces, like glass and painted nishes, with a high level of vandal resistance/ graf ti proo ng.

Providing well-defined pedestrian routes with clear sight lines in order to provide for convenient and safe movement within and adjacent to the Project area.

Providing signage within and around the Project area that is legible and informative with respect to the Project, and surrounding public facilities, such as the BTC, and Ferry Terminal and key pedestrian access routes.

Refer to Section 2.8.1 of the CEMP for further details in this regard.

A CPTED assessment has specifically been undertaken for the Station Plaza Temporary Accommodation.

Refer to Section 7.2 of the Urban Design DWP (Station Plaza) for further detail in this regard.

7.1.8

Wayfinding

During construction of the Project, a range of wayfinding measures will be provided to assist pedestrians with safe and secure movement through the public realm adjacent to the Project area.

As part of the wayfinding strategy to be implemented during the Project: Wayfinding signs will be installed at key decision points on the major approach routes, or transitional areas around the Project area and the Britomart Precinct, in order to reassure the public and rail passengers that they are on the correct route to their destination.

Wayfinding signage will be installed between key public transport facilities (trains, ferries, and key bus routes (Northern Express) to assist in guiding the public to where they need to go.

Wayfinding signage will be installed at key decision points surrounding the Britomart area to assist people find their way through to the Britomart Precinct.

Signage will inform rail patrons as to the location of the new BTC entrances through the temporary accommodation in Station Plaza.

Wayfinding signage will include directional information, maps and symbols/pictograms as appropriate to the signage typology, purpose and location.

Temporary coloured line markings will provide pedestrians with footpath guidance lines between key public transport facilities (i.e. BTC and the ferry terminal) and along key pedestrian routes, such as Queen Street, Commerce Street. The coloured line markings will be specific to the individual routes and will also comprise symbols/pictograms of the relevant public transport (train, bus, ferry) and directional wording.

Delivery Work Plan

July 2016

31 During the changeover of the BTC station entrance from lower Queen Street to the temporary station accommodation in Station Plaza, AT Ambassadors will be positioned at key locations and decision points around the Britomart public realm and adjacent areas, in order to assist rail patrons and the public with wayfinding through the pedestrian environment. The main entrance to the BTC through the temporary accommodation in Station Plaza on Commerce Street will be defined by a highly visible ‘Britomart Station’ sign that is easily readable for users. Similarly, the side entrances to BTC on Galway and Tyler Streets will also be defined by highly visible entrance signs.

Refer to Section 8 of the Urban Design DWP for further detail on wayfinding to be provided during the Project.

Auckland Transport will engage with Cooper and Company on the design of wayfinding signage relevant to the Britomart Precinct.

7.1.9

Amenity

During construction, the amenity of the Project area will be maintained, and effects on residents, businesses and the surrounding community minimised to the greatest extent practicable. This will be achieved through the implementation of, and compliance with, the Project CEMP and suite of subplans. Specifically: The CEMP outlines appropriate site management and housekeeping in order to keep the construction area in a tidy condition and good order to minimise impacts on the amenity of the surrounding environment, along with CPTED principles to maintain a safe and secure Project area (CEMP Sections 2.8 - 2.11).

The Construction Noise and Vibration DWP (refer to Appendix F of the CEMP) outlines the Project noise and vibration standards, and how adverse construction noise and vibration effects will be managed and monitored in order to reduce adverse amenity effects in this regard.

The Urban Design DWP (refer to Appendix I of the CEMP) outlines: how the temporary accommodation buildings in Station Plaza (which will provide the temporary entrance to the BTC following closure of the CPO at the end of construction Stage 1), above ground construction works in Station Plaza and Construction Support Areas, will be integrated into the surrounding urban landscape to create a safe, secure and visually appealing environment (Section 4); wayfinding measures to be implemented during construction (refer Section 7.1.8 of this SIBD DWP); the indicative design of Project hoardings, which is based on the integration of graphic design, colour, font in order to create a cohesive design and integrate with the surrounding area (Section 6) The TAP DWP (refer to Appendix E of the CEMP) outlines measures to be implemented during the Project in order to manage pedestrian safety and amenity for the duration of construction, such as footpath widening, and construction of both signalised and zebra crossings.

The Air Quality DWP (refer to Appendix L of the CEMP) outlines the measures and monitoring to be implemented in order to minimise any adverse effects from the discharge of dust during construction works on the amenity of the surrounding environment.

7.2

Loss of loading zones and short term P10 spaces along Tyler Street. Suggested solution: temporary parking spaces and loading zones be placed directly outside Endeans main entrance on Lower Queen Street during construction works.

Auckland Transport is currently assessing parking solutions for street surrounding the Project area. There is a public paid car park located on Britomart Place available for shortterm and long term parking (refer to Sections 4.4 and 6.4 of the Transport, Access and Parking DWP for further information). Endeans suggested solution has been passed on to Auckland Transport to consider.

Vehicle and pedestrian access maintained along Tyler Street and Quay Street at all times.

Maintenance of vehicle access to 148 Quay Street at all times during the works. If access is blocked, it is requested that tenants (such as Doctors) who need to urgently leave the building are able to take a taxi, the cost of which will be covered by the DSBJV (this process was available during the 2003 BTC Project).

Vehicle access to properties in Tyler and Galway streets will be maintained during the Project other than for occasional, temporary discrete events. These events will typically be for the delivery or installation of oversize components or plant, such as the piling rigs. Residents will be informed well in advance of these events to allow suitable arrangements to be made for their travel needs. These arrangements will typically take the form of taxi or public transport paid for by the Project (refer to TAP DWP section 4.12.3).

Arrangements for alternative parking in the nearby Britomart or Downtown carparks will be provided to affected business or residents for use during road closures exceeding three hours (refer to Section 4.12.2 of the TPA DWP). It is a clear expectation of the Project team that residents will be provided with a minimum of 72 hours notices ahead of these planned (refer to the TAP DWP section 4.12). No change required to the DWP.

Section 3.2 talks about positive effects from the project once the CRL is operational. How is this relevant to the DWP which deals with construction issues?

Section 3.2 provides a summary of the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) report key findings relating to positive effects of the proposed works. Section 3.1 summaries the SIA key findings on potential adverse effects and mitigation. Potential positive effects are anticipated for local business once the CRL project is operational. For these reasons, no amendments to Section 3.2 were made.

Section 4.3 sets out a number of engagement questions (e.g. number tenants, access, hours of operation, peak periods custom etc.) asked during consultation.

Cooper and Company was not asked these questions and only some of the Cooper and Company tenants appear to have been asked.

and Excelsior buildings.

However, given feedback received from tenants to date with the initial preparation kerbs works we consider that this should be extended east to Gore Street. We also consider that this line should not be set in stone and that if effects arise during the works e.g. for the East Building that they should also be considered part of the community of interest going forward. This section also says that the community of interest is identified as the land on which the CRL and BTC designations lie.

However the yellow line does not include the entire designation area (it is just a subset) and this should be made clear.

Comment

Response

The spatial scope of consultation

Table 4.1 includes an explicit definition of the “wider Project area” in the description of the methodology - “Quay Street to the north, Gore Street to the east, Customs Street East to the south and Albert Street to the west.”

Given the role of changing movement patterns as one of the principal causes of potentially adverse social impacts and business disruption risks, I consider the choice of these streets represents an appropriate, but nevertheless minimum, specification of Project Area. Consequently, I would have expected the corresponding “community of interest” to include occupants and businesses on both sides of these boundary streets.

I note from the Aurecon SIA Report “There are a range of social infrastructure services/facilities servicing those living and working within the Study Area …… I notice that none of the premises which I have footnoted are included on the list of occupants/businesses consulted by the SIBD team.

I do not consider this to be necessarily a critical omission, so long as provision is made in the monitoring activities and on-going consultation activities related to the Community Liaison Group and communications with the Wider Public.

Engagement undertaken to inform the SIBD DWP is the start of DSBJV’s engagement with Project neighbours in relation to the construction works. Engagement will remain on-going during the Project and will likely include communication with occupants and businesses beyond the ‘community of interest’ outlined in Section 5.1 of this DWP. No change to the DWP

A sampling or census approach

Given the relatively confined area specified as the Project Area and related community of interest, I would expect a census approach to have been adopted. Section 6.1 describes “extensive consultation ... with representatives from various groups .” and Table 6.1 lists 50 “interested parties” consulted. Furthermore, Section 4.3 refers to “selected representatives of the community, business owners, .....”. It is not clear whether the descriptor “representatives” refers to representatives from each and every business/occupant or representatives from each category of building use. There is no explicit statement that this coverage represents all or only some (albeit a high proportion) of the occupants/businesses in the Project Area. This detail should be clarified.

Additional text included in Section 6.1 to clarify parties engaged with – ‘Specifically, engagement was undertaken with ….’

Item

Comment The issue of possible gaps in consultation is relevant particularly to the findings on the absence of community facilities, the risks associated with network utility disruption (see below) and the possible need for sitespecific management plans. Even though this DWP states at several points “No community facilities are located within the immediate or surrounding Project area”, as noted previously, this finding may have been based on what I consider to be an inappropriate specification of the Study Area.

I do not consider this issue to be necessarily critical, so long as provision is made in the monitoring activities and on-going consultation activities related to the Community Liaison Group. I would add that those entities referred to in the previous footnote be included in future consultation activities.

Engagement questions

The omission of CPO tenants from consultation

Section 4.3 lists a set of themes around which questions were framed in order to build up an understanding of the existing social and business environment in the Project Area. The range of themes appears sufficiently broad and thorough.

With respect to “other operational requirements - specific (i.e. day and time of deliveries, specialised or sensitive equipment on site)”, I note that the DWP states at various points that “There are no network utility shutdowns planned during the construction works”.

However, there is no comment on the risk of unplanned network utility outages that might happen as a result of construction activities. It will therefore be important for the contract management team to have confidence that this question has been systematically canvassed.

The SIBD team has acknowledged that these tenants will be subject to some level of disruption. In such circumstances, in addition to acknowledgment of the potential impacts for this class of affected parties (as appears in Section 6.1), the consequent allocation of responsibility for impact mitigation and management should be stated clearly. Furthermore, the approach to mitigation and management should be documented explicitly somewhere in the suite of planning documents. In my opinion, a pro-active approach to facilitate relocation options for the existing CPO

Response As outlined above, engagement undertaken to inform the SIBD DWP is the start of DSBJV’s engagement with Project neighbours in relation to the construction works.

tenants is appropriate and should be offered. It is then up to each tenant to decide whether or not to engage further on the issue.

Community Liaison Group Role and Process

In my opinion, the role of the CLG is defined appropriately. The definition highlights not just identification of interests and impacts but also recognition of the same. It also highlights the two-way flow of information and the contribution of the CLG to validating monitoring data.

It is not clear to me from reading the DWP or the C&C Plan whether or not the CLG members have been tasked with the responsibility to be an active conduit - “eyes and ears” - for communications between other parties in their area and the Project team. In my opinion, this should be an important function of any CLG and is consistent with its stated role. Such a function would also be assisted if the names and contact details of CLG members were made public. I could not find such information on the AT website.

I note that the CLG for NoR1 has been in existence for almost a year.

Although I do not see any listing of CLG members in the DWP or the Communication and Consultation Plan, I have found a list in the minutes of the second meeting (March 2015) of the CLG. From the ten names listed, it is questionable whether there is sufficient breadth of representation, particularly from some business categories and some localities.

In my opinion, the participation by a representative of city centre businesses (Heart of the City) provides an appropriate mechanism for addressing the issue raised above about the interests of businesses located outside the boundary streets of the defined Project Area.

Nevertheless, as construction activity approaches, AT may need to consider increasing the breadth of local business representation on the CLG - by two or three members at most -through a process of targeted invitation.

Impacts on pedestrian activity

At various places in the Enabling Works Contract 1 diagrams, statements are made regarding changes to the provision of footpaths (pedestrian access routes) in the Project Area. Without doubt, this is essential mitigation against reductions in local pedestrian flows during the construction period. However, on their own, these measures provide little certainty that local businesses will not experience significant changes in pedestrian activity in their vicinity, particularly as the location of some bus

Specific details in relation to the role and function of the CLG (being an active conduit – “eyes and ears” for communications between other parties and the Project area is outside the scope of this SIBD DWP. The CLG mechanism and process is in place for affected parties to voice any concerns or issues with the Project team, and for the Project team to provide a forum for updates to the community.

The CLG meets at least every three months during construction (unless otherwise agreed) as required by the Project designation and resource consent conditions. Further provision has been made outside of the CLG for members of the CLG or the public to raise any concerns or complaints with the Project team.

Provision of CLG member’s contact details is not relevant to the scope of this SIBD DWP. No change to the SIBD DWP

services/stops in the vicinity will also be changing during the construction period or will have changed just prior to construction.

I consider it essential that the baseline pedestrian counts be updated at regular intervals so that actual changes in pedestrian behaviour are revealed. The TAP DWP section on monitoring appears to refer predominantly to monitoring of project construction workforce travel patterns, at least for active travel modes.

Impacts on business revenue

Nowhere in the DWP, the Aurecon SIA or any other planning documents have I found any assessment of the potential significance of this adverse effect.

In my opinion, in keeping with good practice on impact mitigation and management, AT should adopt a more pro-active and evidence-based approach involving baseline data collection and on-going monitoring. Such an approach would require attention to developing a relevant decision framework for consideration of financial compensation and also attention to the handling of sensitive commercial information in confidence. In my view, such an approach is appropriate and should be offered. It is then up to each business to decide whether or not to engage further on the issue.

Additional information has been added to Section 7.1.6 to refer to mitigation measures that will be explored and implemented by AT should a business experience a loss of custom or revenue. Additional information has also been provided to clarify the process to be followed should a business continue to experience loss of custom or revenue after mitigation measures have been put in place.

TAP DWP

The TAP DWP document elaborates on the measures proposed to anticipate and mitigate adverse disruption effects in the Project Area.

However, the document indicates that consultation with “affected businesses and residents using Tyler Street accesses” and “...on Galway Street” has yet to occur. The list of those parties consulted so far does not appear to include those responsible for preparing the SIBD DWP; nor does the TAP DWP make any reference to the SIBD DWP. In my opinion, this leaves it uncertain as to the effectiveness of coordination intended between those responsible for implementing the two DWPs. In summary, if some aspects of the SIBD DWP implementation are directly reliant on TAP DWP implementation (e.g. updating pedestrian counts periodically), then appropriate feedback provision should be specified clearly.

All traffic related matters that have arisen from the engagement undertaken to inform the SIBD DWP have been discussed with the author of the Project Transport, Access and Parking DWP and AT as appropriate in order to inform the preparation of the Transport, Access and Parking DWP.

SIBD DWP, and that is in Appendix F in response to a question raised by a member of the CLG. The CNV DWP makes numerous references to “sensitive receivers”, “sensitive times” and “sensitive structures”. It is not clear to me how sensitive receivers and/or the need for site-specific CNVMPs are to be identified. Given the gaps in consultation discussed in Section 3.2.1 above, this process requires clarification.

for further explanation around the identification of sensitive receivers and the need for SSCNVMPs.

Whilst the AQ DWP sets out monitoring requirements, I can find no reference to consultation activities, apart from Appendix C which summarises questions from CLG members. No site- specific air quality assessments are reported in this DWP, suggesting that no sensitive receivers have been identified in situations that would warrant site-specific attention.

No specific consultation has been undertaken to inform the Air Quality DWP. Engagement undertaken for the SIBD DWP has included discussion around potential dust and air quality effects. The Project designation and resource consent conditions do not require the preparation of site-specific air quality assessments.

A further Independent Peer Review of the draft SIBD DWP was undertaken by James Baines to review the amendments made to the DWP as a result of Auckland Transport’s confirmation of the altered BTC designation conditions.

Consultation

Section 6.1 - I note the additional consultation which has occurred and the stated commitment to on-going consultation including parties not previously canvassed and beyond the strict boundaries of the project area.

This is indeed desirable. I also note the clari cation of responsibilities regarding the relocation process for CPO tenants. This is helpful.

Noted - no change to the DWP required.

Common concerns raised

Section 6.2.1 - I note the following addition to the list of common concerns - “Loss of customers or revenue due to lack of signage and/or way nding advertising local business are still open during the construction works.” In my opinion, the concern is unlikely to be limited to “lack of signage and/or wayfinding” - there will also be concerns about the effectiveness of signage as a suf cient mitigating measure. In other words, committing to signage and way nding should not be the end of mitigation obligations for this potential effect, although it is a worthwhile mitigation response. The responsibility remains to monitor the effectiveness of these measures intended, as far as possible, to minimise any reduction in levels of patronage and revenue for potentially affected businesses that might result

Section 6.2.1 – last bullet point has been updated to refer to lack of “effective” signage and/or wayfinding advertising local business are still open. Additional text has also been added to section 7.1.6.1 stating on-going engagement and feedback will be sought from affected businesses with regard to the particular visibility and access requirements and the effectiveness of business signage.

Feedback from local business through ongoing consultation and the complaint process will act as a useful mechanism to monitor the effectiveness of signage, wayfinding and other communication tools.

from construction-related business disruption (see further comment below).

Network utilities

Section 7.1.5 - I note that the document now acknowledges the risk of unplanned outages and states that “a robust identi cation and management process both pre-construction and construction will be undertaken.” Such ‘robust identification’ should include both utility infrastructure physical vulnerabilities (implied in the wording) and workplace safety risks (mentioned explicitly), and also customer vulnerabilities (not necessarily implied in the wording). If the latter is intended, that's acceptable and desirable; if not, it should be made explicit.

Yes, customer vulnerabilities will be identified as part of the identification process prior to physical construction works being undertaken to located utilities.

Impacts on Custom or Revenue

Section 7.1.6 the new additional wording is an appropriate response to the issue I raised in my previous review comments.

I would make the observation that signage and way nding and associated media messaging can certainly inform people that businesses in the construction project zone are still open; but they do not necessarily address possible reluctance to visit the area on the part of those who do not have to. Hence my previous call for periodic monitoring.

It is noted that potential footfall within the Project area will be affected by a number of factors, including the closure of Downtown Shopping Centre for site redevelopment, removal of buses and stops to enable the CRL construction works, weather and seasonal changes (and other local factors). Pedestrian volume surveys provide only limited information on pedestrian behaviour at a single point in time.

Rather than undertaking pedestrian surveys, the Project will focus on consultation and communication tools, including complaints, along with site observations and monitoring to identify and respond to issues. Site conditions, including pedestrian movements, will be under regular review and observation by the DSBJV STMS, Traffic Manager, Communications Manager, construction managers and others. Further ongoing consultation with affected business owners will be undertaken throughout the Project providing business within, adjacent or within close proximity to the Project area to provide feedback on the effectiveness of mitigation measures (such as signage).

Additionally, it is noted that pedestrian surveys are not required by the Project designation conditions.

I note that the document (at 7.1.5) now acknowledges the risk of unplanned outages and states that “a robust identi cation and management process both pre-construction and construction will be undertaken.” As noted above, such ‘robust identi cation should include both utility infrastructure physical vulnerabilities (implied in the wording) and workplace safety risks (mentioned explicitly), and also customer vulnerabilities (not necessarily implied in the wording). If this is intended, that’s ne; if not, it should be.

Yes, customer vulnerabilities will be identified as part of the identification process prior to physical construction works being undertaken to located utilities.

Omissions of CPO tenants

I note (in 6.1) the clari cation of responsibilities regarding the relocation process for CPO tenants.

CLG role and process

I do not understand why the issue I have raised is ‘outside the scope of this SIBD DWP – as stated in the response? I note that the response states“.

Further provision has been made outside of the CLG for members of the CLG or the public to raise any concerns or complaints with the Project team.” Where is this stated? I see no convincing rationale to support such fragmentation of community liaison arrangements. If ‘further provision’ is simply a reference to other channels of ‘opt-in’ communication by members of the public, then it misses the point, which is about the active role of the CLG. Nor do I accept that “Provision of CLG members’ contact details is not relevant to the scope of this SIBD DWP”. Conditions 33.4(f) and 33.7 make it clear that the effective functioning of the CLG is an integral part of the overall mitigation effort.

Further consideration has been given to this item. It is agreed that opportunity does exist for the CLG to play an active role in providing a conduit between the public and the project. While the CLG has been formed from representatives of the community, opportunity will remain over the duration of the Project for public feedback to come in to the Project via the CLG. AT’s public website identifies the existence of the CLG and also provides details on how to contact AT. Should parties wish to provide feedback to the CLG this possibility does already exist and will remain. As part of the wider CRL communications process, AT will review options for publicising CLG meetings.

Impacts on pedestrian activity

I do not accept the statement that “Pedestrian surveys are not within the scope of the SIBD DWP or required by the Project designation conditions.”

Refer to Conditions 33.1, 33.3(a), 33.3(d)(iv) of the designation. The issue concerns collecting information on the effectiveness of mitigation proposals. In this respect, it should be treated no differently from the proposed monitoring of ‘project construction workforce travel patterns’.

The additional text in 7.1.6 states that “Potentially affected businesses are expected to: … explain how any loss of profits is attributable to disruption caused by the Project construction works; and be prepared to provide detailed records of turnover to quantify the loss.” It should not be the responsibility of each potentially affected business to provide data on foot traf c counts, nor the responsibility of all the businesses. It is AT’s responsibility (or its agent’s) to provide such data on actual effects of the construction activity. Indeed, this would be entirely consistent with the approach detailed in the new wording in section 7.1.6, which I commend.

It is noted that potential footfall within the Project area will be affected by a number of factors, including the closure of Downtown Shopping Centre for site redevelopment, removal of buses and stops to enable the CRL construction works, weather and seasonal changes (and other local factors). Pedestrian volume surveys provide only limited information on pedestrian behaviour at a single point in time.

Rather than undertaking pedestrian surveys, the Project will focus on consultation and communication tools, including complaints, along with site observations and monitoring to identify and respond to issues. Site conditions, including pedestrian movements, will be under regularly review and observation by the DSBJV STMS, Traffic Manager, Communications Manager, construction managers and others. Further ongoing consultation with affected business owners will be undertaken throughout the Project providing business within, adjacent or within close proximity to the Project area to provide feedback on the effectiveness of mitigation measures (such as signage).

Additionally, it is noted that pedestrian surveys are not required by the Project designation conditions.

No change to the DWP.

TAP DWP

This is an appropriate and adequate response.

Air Quality DWP

I see no reason or explanation why site-speci c air quality assessments should not be provided for in the designation and resource consent conditions (in the same way that site speci c noise and vibration assessments are provided for). ‘Providing for’ is not the same as ‘requiring’.

It is merely a precautionary provision.

The Project designation and resource consent conditions do not require the preparation of site-specific air quality assessments.

No change to the DWP.

Additional CLG comments/ feedback

In my opinion, the consultants have responded appropriately (as outlined in Appendix D) to the CLG issues raised at a meeting on 14 April 2016, by Cooper & Company in particular.

No change to the DWP required.

Comment I would also observe that the additional issues raised - the spatial area for consultation and the process for addressing adverse nancial impacts of business disruption - are similar to issues I raised previously.
