Executive summary

The Parnell Plan will be a Waitematā Local Board sponsored strategic

document that sets out the community’s 30-year vision for the area, as

well as ways that vision can be achieved.

A consultation document was developed over a period of months, with

public feedback sought through May - June 2018. The consultation

document contained a draft vision, objectives (with strategies aligning to

those objectives), and potential projects.

Many events were held across Parnell through May - June, with over 200

pieces of feedback received, and a further 600 additional pieces of

feedback received through a parallel questionnaire.

This report summarises engagement activity to date and provides a

summary of feedback received through May - June 2018.

1. Introduction

1.1 Background

The Parnell Plan will provide strategic guidance to ensure Parnell

continues to be a great place to live, work and play in the future. It will set

out the community’s’ vision for the area, key objectives, and strategies for

achieving these objectives. The Parnell Plan will be a non-statutory

document, it can influence and guide decision makers but cannot set rules

controlling development or allocate funding.

The Parnell Plan Consultation Document was created in collaboration with

a community working group of key stakeholders over a series of six

workshops. This is in addition to meetings and workshops with Auckland

Council and council-controlled organisations.

The working group is made up of the following local representatives:

- Blind Foundation - Parnell Heritage

- Local Board members - Parnell District School

- Local youth representatives - Auckland War Memorial Museum

- Parnell Business Association - Parnell Trust

- Parnell Community Committee

The draft plan has also been developed together with mana whenua,

being Ngāti Whatua Orakei and Ngāti Maru.

1.2 Engagement period

The draft plan went out to the community for feedback between 21 May -

29 June 2018. Many events were held across Parnell through this feedback

period, with over 200 pieces of feedback received, and a further 600

additional pieces of feedback received through a parallel questionnaire.

3. Feedback

3.1 Summary

In total, 238 submissions were received during the engagement period. Of the feedback

received, the majority was received via online form. This total does not include data from

the tuk-talk initiative (page 23) or school visit (page 25).

Approximately a quarter of respondents identified as submitting on behalf of

organisations or businesses. Organisations that submitted include the business

associations, community committee, the museum, among others. To note, many (but not

all) local businesses that submitted indicated support for the Parnell Business

Association’s submission.

Feedback topic themes are identified in section 3.3 (page 12), this includes analysis of

online and hardcopy form, and freetext email/other. A breakdown of responses to each

question in the feedback form is in section 3.4 (page 17).

3.2 Feedback statistics

Feedback method

Of the submissions received, 33 were from businesses, groups or organisations who

submitted letters or statements primarily via email. The following data includes

responses from these submitters, therefore it should be noted that the information is

from a mix of individuals, businesses, groups and organisations and not just

individuals.

Demographics

Submitters who provided feedback were evenly split in terms of gender, a mix of ages,

and the majority identified as being Pakeha/NZ European in ethnicity. The submitter

demographics are fairly reflective of the census data for the Parnell area.

3.3 Feedback topic themes

A high-level analysis of themes from feedback received is provided below, organised

by topic. These themes have emerged from both the feedback form submissions and

freetext submissions. Hundreds of comments are contained in the raw data and have

been analysed through a parallel process to this report.

Transport and connectivity

• Accessibility and getting around

This was a popular topic of interest. People commented that it is difficult to

navigate through the suburb and find key points such as the train station, and

links to the Domain. Improved wayfinding and signage was raised several

13

times. The topographical challenge in Parnell was also mentioned – it’s steep

in many places, particularly difficult for those with impaired mobility, and

sightlines are not great.

• Connectivity improvements

Allied with concerns about getting around was the need to better connect

Parnell with adjoining areas including Grafton Gully, The Strand, Lower St

Georges Bay Road, Newmarket, the city centre and waterfront, as well as east

and west across the area. The need for clearer, easier to navigate links and

pathways was raised. Comments were made also about the lack of additional

bus routes in the new network.

• Parking provision

Parking was a popular topic of feedback. There was strong concern for the

viability of businesses in Parnell with the current difficulty for customers to

find car parks – it’s seen that people could be detracted from going to Parnell

if they repeatedly cannot find parking. Concerns were expressed about new

cycleways potentially taking away car parking spaces. Several residents of

Parnell also saw parking as an issue, having difficulty finding on street parking

due to the flow on effects of nearby parking time restrictions.

• Better traffic management

Some feedback was concerned about traffic congestion and volumes, and the

need to alleviate this, particularly heavy vehicle traffic. Slower speed areas,

more crossings, addressing one way roads, intersection improvements and

better integration of walking and cycling into streets were suggested.

• Safety and comfort

General personal safety, particularly from a pedestrian perspective, was raised

in feedback. Heavy vehicle movements along The Strand was a concern, the

installation of CCTV cameras particularly around the train station and

underpass was desired, better vegetation maintenance around footpaths to

improve sightlines and enhance the perception of safety, lowered speed limits

on Parnell Road, improved cyclist safety (especially for children cycling to

school), improved (or constructing) bus shelters, among other comments.

• Accommodating different transport modes

Feedback was received seeking improved public transport (trains, buses),

better transport options to the museum from Parnell, better walkways and

cycling options (including support for the disused tunnel to become a

walkway cycleway), introducing a local shuttle service. There were also

14

opposing and mixed views about the proposed Gladstone Road cycleway

(unsightly, takes away parking spaces, in the wrong place).

Business and Parnell’s image or brand

• Creativity and innovation

There was general support to build on and promote Parnell as a great place

for innovation and creativity in art and design activities, and alternative

business models to grow. Suggestions such as having more art sculptures and

art events came through strongly.

• Visitors and tourism

The need to continue to attract tourists and visitors to support business came

through in the feedback, with several however commenting that resident’s

needs shouldn’t be neglected. For example, while there are many cafes and

boutique shops, Parnell is perceived to lack core shopping needs (e.g.

supermarket, hardware) and residents need to travel outside of Parnell for

this.

• Reinforce Parnell’s identity and character

Enhancing and defining Parnell’s particular or unique identity came through in

comments, with ideas such as a gateway feature, having good urban design

which relates back to historic character, and creating laneways. Also raised

was the need to promote or require sensitive, quality development particularly

on key underutilised sites.

• Amenity enhancement

Quite a few comments were received around the general level of amenity in

Parnell, and attractive well-maintained streets with abundant tree planting,

and pleasant walking routes are valued. This was particularly noted for the

Grafton Gully area, The Strand, the lower St Georges Bay Road area, and the

area between Parnell Road and the train station. Improvements, upgrades,

and better maintenance was encouraged.

• Train station potential

The potential of the train station was a popular topic. The station is seen as

underutilised and poorly connected to Parnell, the Domain, and to the north

and south. It could be a central focus for accessing Parnell and provide

greater opportunity for businesses, workers and visitors.

15

• The need for investment

A theme of feedback, particularly from businesses and business groups, is the

need for priority to be given to investment in infrastructure, which has not

been seen to be forthcoming in recent years. The requested investment

relates to transport and linkage improvements, area upgrades and wayfinding

improvements, particularly in and around Parnell Station, Parnell Road, Lower

St Georges Bay Road, and Grafton Gully-The Strand.

Community, events, parks and Parnell’s heritage

• Better facilities

Several submitters said they would like to see existing facilities better

integrated, maintained and upgraded (e.g. heated pools at Parnell Baths). Also

mentioned were more public toilets, baby changing facilities, play

opportunities, and better coordinated programmes

• Distinctive events

A few submitters said that it is important for Parnell to retain and add to its

programme of distinctive events and local community activities across the

year (e.g. could have a beach event at Judges Bay, amplify La Cigale markets).

• Improvements to parks and spaces

The need for park upgrades came through strongly, such as improving Heard

Park as a focus (i.e. playground upgrade, having creative landscaping/

planting), and ensuring parks are well maintained and better utilised

throughout the year. More spaces for children and teens was sought (e.g.

skatepark), as was the repurposing or activation of underutilised road and

reserve spaces. Comments around improving Hobson Walkway were popular

and connecting it with Point resolution.

• Storytelling and awareness

Greater visibility of the history of European settlement in the area, as well as

Maori heritage came through in feedback. Suggestions included using

plaques, art installations, interpretation panels, creative wayfinding

techniques, better defining the Pa site, having a heritage trail.

• Respecting heritage buildings

Heritage was a popular topic in the feedback received. Submitters

commented that it’s important to recognise the potential of heritage

buildings and what they can add to the community e.g. Kinder House. Many

submitters were pleased to see emphasis on protection of heritage buildings.

16

A few submitters qualified that while they are proud of Parnell’s heritage there

also needs to be forward thinking and modernisation in the built environment.

Some submitters said that new development should not detract from the

historic main street environment.

Natural environment

• Taking care of the environment

There was general support for taking greater care for the natural environment

in Parnell, noting how many significant ecological areas there are in Parnell,

and the importance of Waipapa Stream and its potential as a key feature of a

green recreational area and link.

A few comments were received around the need to better define the

ecological or water quality outcomes sought by the strategies, and to better

link in to existing regionwide or area specific programmes.

• Infrastructure upgrade and maintenance

A few commented that stormwater/sewage overflows (e.g. in Alberon Reserve)

is an issue in Parnell, and continued maintenance needs to be a priority.

• General park maintenance

Many comments focused on the need to continue to weed and remove

rubbish in parks and public spaces.

3.4 Response to feedback form questions

The feedback form (see Appendix 2) contained several questions, and the responses

will be summarised in this section. Where comments are used, these are taken from

both the feedback form responses and the non-form responses. This summary is based

on the analysis conducted and shown in Appendix 3.

Question 1: In your opinion, have we got the vision for the Parnell Plan right?

There were 189 responses to this question, with 61% saying yes, we had got the vision

right. A further 27% said we had partially got the vision right, and 12% said no, we had

not got the vision right.

A snapshot of comments around the vision –

There was general support for the vision, with some respondents qualifying in their

comments that it’s great to embrace the past but also look forward to the future, and

to recognise the distinctiveness of Parnell.

Those who answered ‘no’ or ‘partially’, qualified their response with comments that

Parnell was less of a suburb now and more of an inner city urban area, that they

didn’t want heritage to detract from built progress in Parnell, queried why Parnell is

being singled out as being unique over other suburbs, commented that reference to

‘prosperity’ should be included in the vision, that more emphasis is needed on the

natural environment, and included several comments that were less about the vision

and more about issues in Parnell.

“It is a well thought

through vision

and well

articulated”

“'Auckland's first suburb' is

good but the rest of the

vision could apply to

almost any of Auckland's

older suburbs”

18

Question 2: Proposed Objectives and Strategies

(submitters were asked to tick the strategies most important to them)

There were 192 responses to this question.

• Objective 1: Promote Parnell as an innovative and creative place to work, live, visit

and do business

All strategies were largely seen as important, with minor difference in support

between the six strategies. The most popular strategy was Strategy 5 - ‘Encourage

all development to respect Parnell’s unique identity’.

A snapshot of comments relating to this objective and its strategies –

• Objective 2: Enhance connectivity within Parnell and with its neighbours

All strategies were largely seen as important, with minor difference in support

between the three strategies. The most popular strategy was Strategy 1 - ‘Better

connect Parnell to its surroundings including Auckland Domain and the Museum,

the Waitematā, Newmarket and the city centre’.


“Parnell suffers from

connectivity issues. It is

poorly linked between

the East and West, and is

impacted by heavy

vehicle movements along

The Strand”

“Car parking critical

to businesses on

Parnell Road and

feeder roads”

“Use art and design to

accentuate our role as a

design centre, school for

the arts and innovation

hub”

“Improved wayfinding is

critical to the future

growth of Museum

patronage, and fully

realising the economic

knock on benefits in

Parnell…”

19

• Objective 3: Enable the community to use and enjoy our great places and spaces

All strategies were largely seen as important, with a small difference in support

between the five strategies. The most popular strategy was Strategy 3 - ‘Link parks,

community facilities, school and learning facilities together to form an integrated

network of services’ (113 responses), with the least responded to strategy being

Strategy 2 – ‘Ensure that we continue to maintain accessible community services

that reflect ongoing community needs’ (58 responses).


• Objective 4: Care for, protect and enhance our natural environment


between the three strategies. The most popular strategy was Strategy 1 - ‘Enhance

and restore our streams, waterways and bays’ (148 responses), with the least

responded to strategy being Strategy 3 – ‘Encourage greater collaboration between

local government, mana whenua, land owners and the community to protect and

restore our natural environment’ (88 responses).


“[Heard Park] can become a

hub through well designed

landscaping upgrade, with

outdoor furniture that

facilitates and promotes

regular events being held in

this space”

“We see the potential

of the train station

as a cultural and

social place”

“support the proposed

plantings alongside the

Waipapa Stream”

“needs to explicitly

acknowledge the need for a

long‐term strategy to reduce

or eliminate the pollutant

effects of wastewater and

stormwater on water quality”

20

• Objective 5: Respect, recognise and protect our historic and cultural heritage and

character


between the four strategies. The most popular strategy was Strategy 4 - ‘Support

the protection, restoration and adaption, where appropriate, of heritage buildings’.


Question 3: In your opinion, are there any other objectives or strategies that

should be included in the Parnell Plan Consultation Document?

This was an open-ended question, with 99 responses received. Parking, improved

public places, public transport and traffic, connections/links, safety, and culture and

heritage, were all popular comment themes. A snapshot of comments is below –

“pleased to see a

proposed strategy that

seeks to enhance

heritage buildings”

“We do not see that

currently Parnell’s Māori

heritage is particularly

visible”

“In addition to

improving the transport

networks, walkways,

cycle ways, add more

and cheaper car

parking”

“Improving the

aesthetic appeal and

amenity of our public

spaces should be the

primary overriding

focus”

“Parnell's back streets are

a rabbit warren of tiny

dead end and cramped

streets. Any new

developments should not

contribute to this but

should improve access”

“Lacking Maori

cultural consideration

in the objectives”

21

Question 4: What are your most important ideas and projects for making Parnell

great?

This was an open-ended question, with 109 responses received. Connections/links was

the most popular comment theme. A snapshot of comments is below –

“Complete and upgrade

Hobson Bay walk way to

connect to Judges Bay/

Parnell pools”

“Opening up the old

Parnell tunnel to bikes

would be an exciting

tourist drawcard”

“…enclosed escalators.

This is the one way that

we will definitely

substantially improve

visitation to the historic

heart”

“Develop pop up

activities at heritage

sites and activate

them”

“Parnell is perfect for a

monthly activity, such

as "Gallery Hop" in

Columbus, Ohio or

"First Thursday" in

Austin, Texas”

“Encourage artist

studios (such as a

multi-storey building

becoming a centre

to view the arts in

action)”

22

Question 5: Do you have any other comments on the Parnell Plan Consultation

Document?

This was an open-ended question, with 75 responses received. Comments varied in

theme, with a snapshot of comments below –

“The station should be

the core of a massively

enhanced pedestrian

network”

“Supports the intent

of the plan, but it is

lacking in ambition and

should be more

aspirational”

“Playgrounds! Heard Park

needs more than one set

of swings (ideally gated

due to road access) and it

would be awesome to have

an artistic play area”

“Enhance the qualities

of Gladstone Road as a

boulevard that has

multiple functions for

community and wider

benefit”

“We don't need every

space to be "activated".

Quiet spaces are

important for the

residents in particular”

“No one knows

where Parnell

station is”

23

3.5 Tuk-Talk initiative

The Tuk-Talk initiative was put forward by the Parnell Business Association as an

alternative way to seek feedback from the community, sponsored in part by the

Waitematā Local Board, and in collaboration with stakeholders who participated in the

creation of the draft plan. The Tuk-Talk involved an electric tuk-tuk journeying on short

trips around Parnell. Passengers were able to have a free ride in exchange for their

thoughts.

Over a two-week period, 680 people responded to an i-pad questionnaire on the trip.

This was a parallel questionnaire to council’s feedback form and provided additional

insight into the community’s views.

The PBA actively followed up with

respondents and encouraged them

to provide more detailed feedback

on the Parnell Plan consultation

document.

A summary of results is below. A full

3.6 School visit

On 29 May 2018 Auckland Council staff visited Parnell District School to host a workshop.

This visit formed part of the school’s ‘community week’.

Staff gave a presentation to a class of students from Years 4-6, speaking to them about

what a planner does, what makes a great place and city, and the importance of engaging

with the community on

projects.

The students were placed

in groups to complete

several activities. In the

groups, they identified on

a map landmarks and

notable places in Parnell,

and their travel route to

school. Several questions

were also posed to the

groups, with informative feedback received.

A snapshot of responses is provided on the following page.
