Introduction Communication and Consultation Plan Overview
The City Rail Link (CRL) project comprises the construction, operation and maintenance of a 3.4 km underground passenger railway, extending between Britomart Station and the North Auckland Rail Line in the vicinity of Mt Eden station. The project is being undertaken by Auckland Transport (AT) and includes the construction of two tracks and two underground stations using cut and cover methods, and tunnel boring methods, up to 42 m below ground. The works addressed by this Communication and Consultation Plan (CCP) 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 by the blue shaded area in Figure 1.1 below.
LEGEND CRL alignment BTC designation CRL designation C1 worksite
Figure 1.1: Project Footprint
This CCP has been prepared by the Downer Soletanche Bachy Joint Venture (the Contractor - DSBJV). The CCP provides the overarching framework for communications and consultation with the community, stakeholders, affected parties and affected in proximity parties within the Community of Interest associated with the Project (refer to Section 3.2 of this Plan for further information). The CCP is one of a series of plans that detail the specific environmental and sustainability management controls for particular aspects of the Project.
Purpose of the Communication and Consultation Plan The Britomart area, in which the Project is being undertaken, is a busy, built-up urban area within the Central Business District (CBD). Land uses above the ground and adjacent the Project works include high density commercial and office buildings, residential and visitor accommodation, retail, restaurants and bars. Commercial offices intermingle with residential and visitor accommodation. The area is also a key transport hub within the CBD.
COMMUNICATION AND CONSULTATION PLAN

2 The objective of this CCP is to set out a framework to ensure appropriate communication and consultation is undertaken with the community, stakeholders, affected parties and affected in proximity parties during construction of the Project. The CCP is required under Condition 15 of the CRL designation, Condition 16 of the BTC designation1 and Conditions 25 - 31 of the resource consents 2 for the Project. The purpose of the CCP is to describe the processes and protocols relating to how the DSBJV will: Inform the community of construction progress and future construction activities and constraints that could affect them. Provide early information on key Project milestones. Obtain and specify a reasonable timeframe (being not less than 10 working days), for feedback and inputs from directly affected and affected in-proximity parties regarding the development (as part of the review process provided by Condition 22 of the CRL designation and Condition 21 of the BTC designation) and implementation of the CEMP or DWPs. Respond to queries and complaints including but not limited to: (i) Who is responsible for responding to feedback and inputs; (ii) How responses will be provided; and (iii) The timeframes within which responses will be provided. The CCP will be implemented and complied with for the duration of Project construction. In accordance with CRL designation Condition 15.6, BTC designation Condition 16.6 and Condition 29 of the resource consents, the CCP will be reviewed at least six monthly (the review process is outlined in Section 15 of this CCP).

Sustainability AT is seeking an Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA) Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) rating for the Project. Further details can be found in the Project CEMP and Sustainability Rating Management Plan and requirements are imbedded within the suite of Delivery Work Plans and management plans for the Project to ensure that sustainability is a key focus and ‘the way we do things’. In some cases the IS requirements and sustainability goals enhance the designation and resource consent requirements.
CCP Review and Updates This CCP is a live document that will be reviewed and updated during the course of the Project to reflect material changes associated with construction techniques, communication, mitigation or the natural environment. A formal review process is described in Section 15 of this CCP.

The Project Overview
The Project involves constructing 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. Significant works beneath the CPO will be undertaken, including piling and diaphragm wall construction. In lower Queen Street, piling will be installed across the road corridor, excavation undertaken to form the rail 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 the new temporary station building, east of the CPO and Glasshouse buildings. 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).
Construction Methodology The Project construction works will occur in four main stages as outlined in Table 2.1 below and shown on the drawings titled ‘City Rail Link Enabling Works Contract 1 Stage 1 – Stage 4 Overview’ provided in Appendix D. Table 2.1:

Communication Context Community of Interest
As mentioned above, 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 community of interest for the purpose of this CCP and associated Social Impact Business Disruption (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 CCP and SIBD DWP is shown by the yellow box in Figure 3.1.
Figure 3.1: Existing Environment and community of interest.
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 environmental specialists preparing 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. 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.
COMMUNICATION AND CONSULTATION PLAN
July 2016
13 Observational site walkovers, from which an understanding of the social context and range of land uses, business 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 subsequently, 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 are not limited to): o
Predicted construction noise and vibration levels, based on modelling 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.
o
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 Coopers and Company and Precinct Properties) in determining those business/parties that may be affected by the Project and should form part of the community of interest. Appendix A of this CCP lists those landowners, building managers, body corporate or building representatives, occupiers and businesses that form the Community of Interest for the purpose of this CCP and with whom consultation will be undertaken. The parties listed in Appendix A includes affected parties and affected parties in proximity parties. These parties will be the key audience for communications over the course of the Project. However, it is noted that ongoing community engagement will be undertaken during the course of the Project and will include communication with business, residents and other parties in areas beyond the ‘community of interest’ shown in Figure 3.1. The nature of construction activities and associated effects will determine the extent of wider community engagement to be undertaken once physical works have commenced.
CCP background DSBJV will undertake consultation and communication on the basis that we wish to take our stakeholders with us on the project journey. Our communications strategy is to actively engage with and inform the Community of Interest and when necessary the wider community in collaboration with AT. We are committed to delivering the project as fast as possible with as little disruption as possible to businesses, commuters and the community and will work with them to achieve this. Engagement with other stakeholders and the public will be about communication, providing them with information on the project and responding to their inquiries and concerns. Face-to-face interaction and easy availability of information will ensure all affected parties and affected parties in proximity are aware of the Project scope and effects. They must feel confident in the ability of AT and the DSBJV to deliver the Project with the least possible impact on them. The results of consultation will influence the management of project effects to better address the issues.
COMMUNICATION AND CONSULTATION PLAN
July 2016
14 In 2012 AT established a CRL communication and consultation strategy with a range of objectives and principles. These included: A proactive approach- AT will approach stakeholders with information rather than sit back and wait for people to come to it with inquiries; key stakeholders and affected parties have a right to express their views and concerns about a project that has the potential to affect them. Effective communication channels- AT will maintain constructive links with key stakeholders by communicating on a regular basis; continual networking and presence in the business and other relevant communities; and seeking opportunities for dialogue and information-sharing. Openness about issues- Information should demonstrate that AT is being upfront and transparent about what is proposed and provide as much certainty as possible while acknowledging that project detail is not finalised. Responsiveness- Responses will use best practice by being timely, full, helpful, frank and detailed; key stakeholders and affected parties have a right to expect that their views and concerns will be considered in project decisions. They should demonstrate that AT is listening, even if agreement cannot be reached. The objectives have four areas of focus: INFORM stakeholders about the project o o
Engage constructively with key stakeholders/target audiences, providing consistent information across the project. Maintain and enhance existing relationships for ongoing constructive engagement.
EXPLAIN the process and timing o
Ensure key target audiences and stakeholders have an accurate understanding of the project and its implications.
o
Explain how the planning processes work and how people can input into them.
EDUCATE people about the CRL o
Discuss how the project fits into strategic city planning and the regional development of transport infrastructure.
o
Minimise uncertainty and dispel misinformation.
ENHANCE AT’s reputation o o
Ensure that AT is open and responsive to stakeholder feedback. Manage communication risks that may impact the project and AT’s reputation.
DSBJV have adopted these objectives and have developed this CCP accordingly.
Existing communication and consultation Extensive consultation has been undertaken in preparation for the construction of the CRL in order to understand the specific access requirements and other potential disruption issues for residents and individual businesses/services located within the Community of Interest area (refer to Section 9 for further details). This has included consultation on the various plans required under the CRL and BTC designations and resource consents (refer to the CEMP and suite of supporting plans for a record of that consultation).

CCP Principles Main considerations
There are a number of key construction related activities that will need to be carefully managed throughout the life of the Project. The main objective of this CCP is to clearly describe how DSBJV will communicate with stakeholders and communities regarding these activities and their associated effects. Key potential effects from the Project include: noise and vibration, including impacts on sensitive receivers; changes to transport, access and parking networks within and adjacent to the Project area; impacts on historic character, both built heritage and archaeological heritage; air quality, particularly dust generation; managing soil contamination encountered during the excavation works; impacts on public art; impacts on the public realm urban environment within and adjacent to the Project area; social impacts and business disruption as a result of construction works; and discharge of sediment or other contaminants associated with the works. The management of potential effects resulting from construction activities is addressed in the CEMP and the associated suite of supporting sub plans.
Principles of engagement Our principles of engagement are for the DSBJV to: Commit to understanding and addressing the communication needs and expectations of all stakeholders, including affected parties and affected in proximity parties; Present one face to the public and to all stakeholders for the Project; and Be the one point of contact for complaints and enquiries with a coordinated response in accordance with AT agreed procedural guidelines.
Communication objectives The main objective of this CCP is to set out a framework to ensure appropriate communication with the community, stakeholders, affected parties, and affected in proximity parties. The CCP explains how, by incorporating AT’s principals and objectives, the DSBJV will: Educate, inform and positively engage affected stakeholders and Community Liaison Groups (CLG) about construction progress, future construction activities and any constraints and timelines that may affect them in order to mitigate or minimise disruptions; Implement and maintain an “early warning/ no surprises” approach. Minimise inconvenience to key stakeholders and the community by providing timely and regular information regarding any disruptions to traffic, public transport services, access to

16 property, expected elevated noise disruptions, night works or any other impacts resulting from the works; Provide a consistent ‘one face’ approach for the Project; Provide a collaborative and cohesive stakeholder communications management across all CRL delivery teams creating an environment where each group can share knowledge and can contribute to the overall solution; Form and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, including media (led by AT); Explain procedures and protocols around how both AT and the DSBJV will maintain positive reputations and support amongst the stakeholder groups; Ensure information is provided in a timely manner to AT on key Project milestones; Obtain, manage and respond to feedback, queries and complaints; Outline the Project communications teams (both AT and the DSBJV) roles and responsibilities wherein the team can effectively respond to and manage key stakeholder concerns; and Deliver a successful project that continues to build a reputation with AT as a contractor of choice and a trusted construction advisor.
Key project messages The key messages reflect the project objectives and form the basis for the Project’s overall strategy for informing and getting feedback from those impacted. While these will remain constant throughout the Project duration and beyond, they will at times be supported by other messages that reflect construction activity and/or other influencing factors. The hierarchy of the key messages will be defined by the audience (e.g. local / regional / national) and its relationship to the project. Examples are: The CRL is integral to meeting Auckland’s growth and subsequent transport demand. Completing the CRL will provide faster, more frequent travel for all Auckland rail users. Disruption during construction will be managed to ensure Auckland keeps working. The Project Construction Environmental Management Plan reflects the DSBJV and AT’s commitment to safety, environmental sensitivity and community well-being during the works. While these messages will remain constant during the Project and the wider CRL project, they will be supported by other messages that reflect construction activity and/or other influencing factors.
Expected outcomes The following is a summary of expected outcomes as a result of an effective CCP: Strong relationships with key stakeholders Positive interaction with neighbours Robust information received to influence the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP)and the Delivery Work Plans (DWP) Effective Community Liaison Groups (CLGs) Informed community Informed public transport and road users
COMMUNICATION AND CONSULTATION PLAN

17 Informative and useful online presence Positive media coverage Reduced misinformation.
Management of issues and risks The DSBJV will align with AT’s guiding principles for the management of issues and risk as follows: Prevention – We will anticipate potential community impacts and manage risk at the source through effective process design, and through clear and open communication between the various participants and the community. Planning – We will conduct detailed planning for known issues, such as noise, traffic and commuter disruptions, which have specific impacts on particular stakeholders or sectors of the community. Proactive behaviours – Our “early warning/ no surprises” approach to community relations is predicated on being proactive and engaging early and actively with those who may be affected by our works. This will assist our team to prevent potential risks from becoming issues and also enable community feedback to inform planning and prevention strategies. Active listening – We will listen to the community to understand specific issues and concerns and work with stakeholders and community members to develop practical and targeted mitigation measures that address those issues.

Communications strategy Strategy Overview
The DSBJV Communications Manager will work closely with the Project team to monitor construction progress and identify activities that may impact on stakeholders, affected parties, affected in proximity parties located in the Community of Interest and/or the wider community. This includes helping the Project team understand activities that may cause particular concern to the community, such as noisy activities, disruption to pedestrian networks, impacts to particular businesses etc. The communication and consultation programme (pre, during and post construction), aims to engage and inform the primary audience of local residents/businesses, affected and affected in proximity parties, along with BTC users (drivers/passengers/pedestrians) and the wider public about the Project before major construction commences. This will prioritise face-to-face interaction and access to information to ensure affected parties are aware of the Project scope and effects, and feel confident in the ability of AT and DSBJV to deliver the Project with the least possible impact. Once general information on the project has been disseminated, the immediate neighbours will be directly serviced at a detailed level by the appointed contractors. A secondary audience of the wider Auckland population will be serviced through a predominantly online and electronic communications strategy. The key messages for this audience will be the benefits of the project and advanced communication of changes to road function to enable informed choice and to ensure travel-related information is readily available.
Communication tools
Communication and Engagement tools To ensure the level of communication with stakeholders and affected community groups is effective, a number of different communication channels will be used. These are described more fully in Table 7.1 below. The frequency of communication for the various tools outlined in Table 7.1 below will be as required, depending on the nature of the activity to be undertaken and the scale of the effect. Depending on the nature of the activity and scale of effect, DSBJV will identify what stakeholders need to be consulted, which tool is most appropriate to use and the frequency of consultation required. Where the frequency of communication for a particular tool is known, it has been specified in Table 7.1 below. Table 7.1:

Network Utilities Overview Engagement has been undertaken with the following Network Utility Operators (NUOs) who have network utilities located within the Project area: Chorus Vodafone Vector Gas, Vector Power, and Vector Communications Watercare (sewer and portable water) Auckland Council – Stormwater Unit CityLink Kordia. Engagement has involved an initial Project start up meeting with all providers to outline the Project and present AT’s network utility protection and relocation drawings. Engagement with individual NUOs is underway to validate/check AT’s drawings against the operators own plans and will remain on-going throughout the Project. The NUOs are satisfied that they can continue to meet their operational requirements during the CRL construction works.
COMMUNICATION AND CONSULTATION PLAN
July 2016
31 The proposed utility works for Contract 1 are described in detail in the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the Project (refer Sections 2.2.5, 5.1.15 and Appendix P of the CEMP). Future engagement/liaison will include establishing the pre-construction, construction and postconstruction inspection requirements established for each NUO and an overview methodology of the utility works covering location, protection, support, relocation and/or reinstatement that will be submitted to each NUO for review and approval. Redline as-builts will be provided to the NUOs following the completion of the Project. Also included in Appendix P to the CEMP is a summary of engagement by NUO. Network Utility Operators Ongoing communication and consultation will be undertaken with Network Utility Operators (NUOs) during construction as follows. Material changes affecting Network Utilities Where a material change is identified that affects network utilities, then the following process will be adopted: AT will contact the relevant NUO to organise an on-site meeting in conjunction with DSBJV. If the change is subsequently agreed on site, then the relevant construction and/or as-built drawings will be revised. If the change cannot be agreed on-site, then a meeting will be held between AT, DSBJV and the relevant NUO Project Manager to identify a mutually agreeable outcome. Section 176(1)(b) RMA Approvals The relevant NUO will identify the scope of work required to be undertaken, including location and timing. The AT CRL Utilities Project Manager and DSBJV will meet with the relevant NUO Project Manager to discuss the scope of work, programming, and physical interface with the CRL construction works. Based on this discussion, AT will determine whether or not the proposed utility works would ‘prevent or hinder’ construction of the CRL (and whether AT is able to give written consent to the utility works). Wherever possible, a mutually agreed ‘work plan’ will be developed that allows necessary utility works to proceed in a way that does not hinder construction of the CRL (particularly in the case of maintenance and urgent repair works). Supplementary Authorisations Depending on the circumstances, the relevant NUO or AT will identify what authorisations are required. If the proposed utility works are not related to the CRL project, then the NUO will be responsible for obtaining any necessary authorisations (including resource consents where required). If the utility works are required to facilitate construction of the CRL project, then the AT CRL Utilities Project Manager and DSBJV will meet with the relevant NUO Project Manager to identify an appropriate design and construction methodology for the works and confirm the authorisations required. AT will be responsible for obtaining any necessary resource consents.
COMMUNICATION AND CONSULTATION PLAN
July 2016
32 Inspection and final approval of works by Network Utility Operators Upcoming inspection, testing, and commissioning works will be identified at weekly meetings between AT, DSBJV and the NUOs. The DSBJV will arrange necessary site inspections directly with the relevant NUO Project Manager. If the inspection passes, then the NUO will sign off the work package. If the inspection fails, then the AT CRL Utilities Project Manager (or delegate) and DSBJV will work together to identify the appropriate remedial action and a re-inspection will be organised with the NUO. Ongoing Communication and Consultation During the utilities phase of CRL construction works there will be regular on-site liaison between DSBJV and the NUOs. This will generally be undertaken by way of ‘tool box’ meetings at the start of each day, complemented by weekly meetings between AT, DSBJV and the NUOs. The purpose of the weekly meetings is to plan in greater detail for upcoming utility works in conjunction with other aspects of the CRL construction works – e.g. temporary traffic management. Review of Management Plans The CEMP and Delivery Work Plans for the CRL C1 Britomart enabling works will be reviewed at least annually, or as a result of a material change to the Project, or to address unforeseen adverse effects arising from construction or unresolved complaints. AT will inform the NUOs of any such reviews, and will actively engage with the NUOs where a material change to the Project has implications for network utilities or the review is required in order to address unforeseen effects or unresolved complaints relating to the utilities aspect of the Project. Refer table in Appendix G – Utility Consultation for a summary of the consultation that has been undertaken between AT, the DSBJV and the respective NUOs in relation to the Project.
Public Transport Users / General Community AT has existing email/text/web systems in place to communicate with public transport and road users in Auckland (including taxi companies and bus operators) and these will be utilised where the CRL construction impacts on bus and other transport services. Communication and consultation will generally be by email, phone and through the Community Liaison Group established for the enabling works. With organisations, companies and body corporates communication will be by email, unless meetings or alternative methods are requested.
Identifying additional people affected by the project Additional people affected by the Project will be identified throughout the Project through complaints and enquiries recorded in the Customer Response Management system (CRM), email contacts to the site, one-on-one discussions with the community, and from media impact.
Notifying Stakeholders about the Works
Advising residents and businesses The Project will be carried out in close proximity to a number of businesses and residences.
COMMUNICATION AND CONSULTATION PLAN
July 2016
33 As outlined in Section 2, Construction Methodology, there are four construction stages that will affect residents and businesses within the Britomart area: Stage 1 – Temporary Accommodation works Stage 2 – Former CPO building works Stage 3 – Lower Queen Street works Stage 4 – BTC modifications and reinstatement. At the beginning of each construction stage, affected local residents and businesses will be advised about the nature of the work, including the various management measures in place to address potential effects (including temporary traffic management measures, and noise and vibration management provisions) and the contact details for the Project. DSBJV will: Contact each building owner, building manager or representative, ground floor occupier, and body corporate representative to show how the works will affect their property and, with as much programming accuracy as possible, when different kinds of disruption are expected to occur. Where possible this will be a face to face discussion. Ensure affected residents and businesses are informed by email or text as well as letter drop. Refer below table 7.1‘Engagement Tools – Publications –‘letter drops’.
Advising construction sequencing The DSBJV will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that building owners, building managers or representatives, ground floor occupiers, body corporate representatives and as many occupiers of affected buildings as possible are aware of the construction sequencing and impacts. Parties will be shown the construction sequencing plans for the Project and provided with an indication about when owners/occupiers can reasonably expect to have different kinds of disruption affect their building. However, it is possible that not all affected workers, residents or business owners will be able to be contacted individually.
Permit to Notify Project delivery teams who are planning works that may impact on stakeholders, including but not limited to construction activities outside normal work hours (including weekends (Sunday) and public holidays), and / or exceedance of the Project Noise and Vibration Standards, are required to inform the DSBJV Communications Manager in advance of undertaking these works. This will ensure timely preparation of construction notifications to potentially impacted parties, within the Community of Interest being notified at least 24 hours in advance. The nature of the activity, scale and effect will determine what parties within the community of interest are considered to be affected and notified. A Permit to Notify (PTN) will be used to facilitate internal approvals for works that are likely to have an impact on stakeholders. This provides a way to activate communication about potential impacts on stakeholders and ensures that notification timeframes can be met.
The Permit to Notify Process The PTN process is set out in the following table:

List of Stakeholders, directly affected and affected in proximity parties A list of all stakeholders, directly affected and affected in proximity parties with whom consultation has occurred to date and who serve as the primary database for the ‘community of interest’ is set out in Appendix A. These parties, and others identified over the duration of the project, will be the primary focus for ongoing engagement using the methods and tools outlined in Section 7.2.
Recording communications activities
Communications Database All communication and correspondence with stakeholders during construction will be recorded in the Project communications database. The communications database is essential for recording the details of engagement with all Project stakeholders. The database will be in place before the construction works begin and will be added to as required to reflect successive communications.
Documenting Meetings All stakeholder meetings will be documented and, where appropriate, agendas provided. The meeting notes will be recorded both in the relevant stakeholder file in the communications database, and where further actions are required, these are to be logged and the appropriate action taken to close them out. The DSBJV Communications Manager will work closely with the project delivery teams to monitor construction progress and identify activities that may impact on stakeholders. This includes helping delivery teams understand activities that may cause particular concern to the community, such as activities in close proximity to traders and culturally and environmentally sensitive sites.
Coordinating with wider Auckland Projects The DSBJV Communication Manager will work closely with the project delivery teams to monitor construction progress and identify activities that may impact on stakeholders. This includes helping delivery teams understand activities that may cause particular concern to the community, such as activities in close proximity to traders and culturally and environmentally sensitive sites. A high degree of coordination is required between the various projects that will be underway in the CBD area at the same time as the Project. AT will lead the coordination process between these projects to minimise adverse effects and maximise efficiencies.
Responsibilities The DSBJV is responsible for the integration of communications between the various projects to ensure that a culture of ‘early waning and no surprises’ exists between DSBJV, AT’s CRL team and key project stakeholders. AT is responsible for liaising with Auckland Council, other Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs), and private developers in relation to other projects being undertaken concurrently with the Project. This will ensure there is a common face to the public about the broader redevelopment of Auckland’s CBD.

Pre-construction consultation
An extensive process of pre-construction engagement has been undertaken by AT and the DSBJV. This includes wider CRL consultation undertaken by AT, consultation with the CLG in development of the CEMP and DWPs, along with consultation associated with the development of the Social Impact and Business Disruption Delivery Work Plan (SIBD DWP). Consultation has been undertaken with the community, business owners, landlords, affected parties and affected in proximity parties located within the Community of Interest in preparing this CCP and the SIBD DWP (refer to figure 3.1). The objective of the consultation undertaken as part of the SIBD DWP was to consult with representatives from various groups within the Community of Interest 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. Common key concerns raised by parties consulted and listed in Appendix A are summarised below: Loss of short term parking spaces (P10) and loading zones along Tyler Street and Galway Street. Increased traffic flows along Tyler Street. Noise and vibration effects on adjacent receivers during construction. Level of dust generated during the construction works. Construction workers loitering in public open spaces or building lobbies adjacent to the Project area. Impact on pedestrian access along lower Queen Street, specifically whether access will be maintained at all times during construction. Impact on vehicle and pedestrian access into buildings during the works, specifically whether access will be maintained at all times during construction. Impacts to public transport services during the construction works, specifically whether trains and buses will still be operational. Loss of customers or revenue as a result of changes to pedestrian movement patterns during the construction works.

Utility Consultation
Network Utility Operator Chorus telecommunications
Summary of Consultation Engagement Engagement (in the form of emails, phone calls, meetings and a workshop) has been undertaken with Bob Willering, Senior Delivery Specialist at Chorus, from December 2015 regarding impacts of the construction works on Chorus utilities located within or surrounding the Project area. Engagement Outcome The Chorus representative has confirmed: Chorus utilities located within lower Queen Street will be impacted by Stage 3 of the Project and require removal and protection. New connections will be required for the temporary accommodation works (Stage 1 of the Project). Works to Chorus utilities will be undertaken in accordance with the Chorus Agreement Relating to the Movement of Infrastructure dated December 2015. In relation to the lower Queen Street excavation, a Node to Node connection could be outside the designation boundaries, however any works to this connection could be undertaken via manhole access and would not require excavation works. Essentially, these works would be business as usual. At this point in time, Chorus will not need to work outside of the BTC or CRL designation boundaries in order to divert any cables that are affected by the construction work.
Future Engagement Engagement with Chorus will remain on-going as the Project progresses. Vector – power, gas and telecommunications
Engagement Engagement (in the form of emails, phone calls, meetings and a workshop) has been undertaken with the following Vector representatives from November 2015: Alec Christie, (Stakeholder Engagement - Programme & Projects) at Vector, regarding impacts of the construction works on Vector utilities located within or surrounding the Project area.
Network Utility Operator
Summary of Consultation Graeme Norton (Fibre Plant Specialist) at Vector Communications, regarding impacts of the construction works on Vector telecommunication utilities Mike Cribb, (Gas Service Project Manager) at Vector Gas, regarding impacts of the construction works on Vector Gas utilities. James Thatcher (Consultant to Vector) regarding on-going Project Management in relation to works to Vector utilities Dave Cox (Vector Consultant) at Vector, regarding all site liaison in relation to works to Vector utilities. Engagement Outcome Vector representatives have confirmed: Vector utilities located within lower Queen Street will be impacted by Stage 3 of the Project and require removal and protection. At this point in time, Vector will not need to work outside of the BTC or CRL designation boundaries in order to divert any utilities that are affected by the construction work. However this will need to be checked in relation to the Vector telecommunications fibre. The Vector telecommunications fibre is installed inside a PE / PVC duct, which has been inserted into the cast iron pipe. It is envisaged that the cast iron main can be broken away over the open cut trench to allow the duct and fibre inside to be lifted and slewed for sheet piling works to proceed. To do this there will need to be slack in the cable in the Communications Pits in Queen Street and Tyler Street and this will need to be confirmed by lifting the lids on the pits to check. Responsibility for VE3 and VE4 (11kV (PILC) and LV cables) to be confirmed depending on the site boundary of the DSBJV and Precinct Properties works. It is likely a section of these cables be relocated but as the utilities are in the western footpath they will be within the Precinct Properties work site. Future Engagement Engagement with Vector will remain on-going as the Project progresses.
Transpower telecommunications
There are no Transpower utilities located within or adjacent to the Project area that will be impacted by the works.

Future Engagement Engagement with Watercare will remain on-going as the Project progresses.
