YES, but ...
NO
NOT SURE
Comments
a) Do you support the actions outlined in the draft action plan (sections 6.4 and 6.5)?
Yes, but with reservations that have already been outlined throughout this submission (i.e. where insufficient action is indicated, or we don't have enough detail to go on).
b) Are there any other key actions?
Systematic evaluation, Mt Cook Mobilised has some capacity to assist with suitable evaluation design, and we want to participate usefully in such processes.
NB. We recognise that the concept of 'evaluation' is implied in the Council planning and consultation process, however we believe this needs to be an explicit, resourced and rigorous component of the development process.
A clear process for including Mt Cook Mobilised in the development of community-centred design guides. We expect such design guides to be given explicit weight in the planned review and amendment of the District Plan design criteria and guidelines.

The Draft Action Plan gives an overall picture of the Council’s intentions in terms of the Adelaide Road area and allows for co-ordination and partnership with other organisations.
Actions have been split into potential capital works and other operational actions. Both tables show the indicative timing for the actions, as well as their relative priority and resourcing implications.
Some of the actions identified are already budgeted for in the LTCCP (Long Term Council Community Plan) which looks at the Council’s activities and spending 10 years ahead. Where activities and initiatives require new funding, these are clearly indicated.
Funding implications
It is important to note that the availability of funding from the Council for projects proposed in the draft framework is not guaranteed. The prioritisation and funding of proposals will be determined as part of the LTCCP and Annual Plan processes, when the Council considers new initiatives and weighs up the priority to be given to individual projects.
Many of the actions proposed in the framework can be achieved through existing Council work programmes and budgets. Some initial funding for streetscape works has been set aside in the LTCCP for the 2008/09 and 2009/10 financial years.
Other actions may be part-funded through other means such as development contributions or a targeted rate. Significant roading works (eg upgrading the Adelaide Road corridor and public transport improvements) may be eligible for a subsidy from the NZ Transport Agency (formerly Transit NZ and Land Transport NZ) because they provide wider benefits to the city’s transport system.
Whilst the framework’s actions are focused on the role of the Council in facilitating the vision, it is clear that the vision cannot be successfully achieved by the Council alone – it also depends on interest and investment by the private sector. The Council will therefore work in partnership with private landowners and developers to realise the vision.
