1. 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 (NAL) in the vicinity of Mt Eden Station. The CRL also involves the construction of two new underground stations at Aotea and Karangahape and a redeveloped Mt Eden Station (refer to Figure 2-1) The design and construction of the CRL infrastructure between Aotea and Mt Eden Stations is being delivered by the Link Alliance.
This Communication and Consultation Plan (CCP) has been prepared in relation to early works along and in the vicinity of Normanby Road, hereafter referred as the ‘Normanby Road early works’.
1.1 Overview of CRL Works in Mt Eden
The CRL works in the Mt Eden area involve the construction of the southern section of the tunnel structures and the tie-in to the existing NAL, including the construction of the redeveloped Mt Eden Station. The Mt Eden Active Construction Zone (ACZ) and Construction Support Areas (CSA) for the NAL Mt Eden section are generally located between State Highway 1 (SH1) to the east and Dominion Road to the west.
The works in this area include:
• Construction of an underground grade separation structure near Mt Eden Station;
• A new Mt Eden Station building incorporating passenger linkages;
• Modifications to the existing Mt Eden Station platforms;
• Road over rail bridges at Mt Eden Road, Normanby Road and Ruru Street with sections of road realignment;
• Grade separation structures and the east- and west-facing connections for the existing and new rail lines to pass-over and connect with each other;

Figure 2-1: CRL Route and Location
• Pedestrian and cyclist bridge structures at Fenton Street and Porters Avenue; and
• New road linkages within the reinstated area post-construction.
Given the nature and scale of CRL works in Mt Eden, construction will be undertaken in a staged manner.
This CCP only relates to one component of the CRL Mt Eden works, the Normanby Road early works, as described in Section 2 below.
•
1.2 Purpose of the Communication and Consultation Plan
This CCP has been prepared to provide a framework to ensure appropriate communication and consultation with the community, stakeholders, affected parties and affected in-proximity parties during the Normanby Road early works. The two key elements of the CCP relate to:
• Communication: keeping stakeholders and affected parties fully informed on the progress of the early works and the relevant processes involved so that they can make informed decisions.
• Consultation: providing information on options and discussing them with stakeholders and affected parties, giving them the opportunity to influence and inform the management and mitigation of effects from the works. This will inform the preparation of key documents required by the CRL designation conditions and the CRL Aotea to North Auckland Line (A2N) resource consent conditions
This CCP addresses the requirements of CRL designation Condition 15 and Conditions 25 to 31 of the A2N resource consents and will be implemented throughout the construction period.
The CCP forms part of the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the Normanby Road early works.
1.3 Methodologies and References
To ensure effective communication and consultation practices are implemented during the early works, the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) engagement spectrum 1 has been considered in the preparation of this CCP.
In addition, this CCP has been informed by:
• The Overarching CRL Communication and Consultation Strategy (2018) , prepared by City Rail Link Limited (CRLL); and
• The Communication and Consultation Plans already implemented for other CRL contracts (in particular the Britomart/lower Queen Street and Albert Street works).

2. Normanby Road Early Works
2.1
Overview of Works
The Normanby Road early works involve demolition of the building at 11 Water Street, establishment of a Construction Support Area, construction of a temporary pedestrian bridge across the NAL and two retaining walls, and diversion of temporary and permanent utilities (such as water, wastewater, stormwater, gas, electricity and communications) along and in the vicinity of Normanby Road.
The early works are required in advance of the main construction works to provide adequate clearance between the CRL works and network utilities to enable construction of retaining walls, the Normanby Road grade separation bridge and the realigned Normanby Road / Boston Road / Nugent Street roundabout.
The Normanby Road early works are planned to extend over eight months, between February 2020 and September 2020. Figure 2.1 shows the area of these works.

3. Overarching Strategies and Methodologies
This section outlines the existing CRLL communication and engagement strategies that have informed the preparation of this CCP along with key public participation and guidance, in particular the IAP2 engagement spectrum
3.1 International Association for Public Participation
IAP2 is an international association of public participation and engagement practitioners. To ensure that this CCP is effective and all communication and consultation is meaningful , the International Association for Public Participation’s (IAP2) core values 2 have been used in the development of this CCP. These are:
• Public participation is based on the belief that those who are affected by a decision have a right to be involved in the decision-making process.
• Public participation includes the promise that the public's contribution will influence the decision.
• Public participation promotes sustainable decisions by recognizing and communicating the needs and interests of all participants, including decision makers.
• Public participation seeks out and facilitates the involvement of those potentially affected by or interested in a decision.
• Public participation seeks input from participants in designing how they participate.
• Public participation provides participants with the information they need to par ticipate in a meaningful way.
• Public participation communicates to participants how their input affected the decision.
IAP2’s community engagement spectrum of participation is based on the decisions to be made and the associated level of influence (if any) the community has on project decision making, noting that the level of public engagement will depend on the likely impact of a project on communities.
Community engagement for CRL will range from informing people about the project , to consulting and involving them in meaningful decisions about key aspects of the design as well as empowering them with the opportunity for innovative initiatives. Table 3-1 below identifies examples of how the proposed CRL engagement approach aligns with the IAP2 spectrum and how communication and engagement activities will help achieve the objectives for the early works.

3.2 The CRL Overarching Communication and Consultation Strategy (201 8)
CRLL is committed to delivering a high level of communications and engagement and the implementation of the overarching Communication and Consultation Strategy is recognised as supporting the delivery of the CRL and of building positive perceptions of the project throughout its development and delivery.
Table 3-2 provides an overview of CRLL’s communications and engagement objectives for the wider CRL Project
Table 3-2: Communications and Engagement Objectives
3.3 Communication and Engagement Strategic Objectives and Principles
A Communication and Consultation Strategy was first established for the CRL project in 2012, including a range of objectives and principles. These were adopted in the Pre-Construction Communication and Consultation Plan prepared by Auckland Transport (November 2015) and subsequent CCP’s prepared for the CRL construction works undertaken to date.
The engagement objectives and principles set out in the Communication and Consultation Strategy have informed and been adopted in the preparation of this CCP. These include the following
A proactive approach - 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 - 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 - be upfront and transparent about what is proposed and provide as much certainty as possible while acknowledging that aspects of 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 listened to and considered in project decisions even if agreement cannot be reached.
The objectives have four areas of focus:
1. Inform stakeholders about the Project
• Engage constructively with key stakeholders/target audiences, providing consistent information across the project
• Maintain and enhance existing relationships for ongoing constructive engagement.
2. Explain the process and timing
• Ensure key target audiences and stakeholders have an accurate understanding of the project and its implications
• Explain how the planning processes work and how people can input into them.
3. Educate people about the CRL
• Discuss how the project fits into strategic city planning and the regional development of transport infrastructure
• Minimise uncertainty and dispel misinformation
4. Enhance our reputation
• Being open and responsive to stakeholder feedback.
• Manage communications risks that may impact the project and our reputation.
4. Consultation and Communication Strategy
4.1 Plan Overview
This CCP has been prepared to provide a framework to ensure appropriate communication and consultation with the community, stakeholders, affected parties and affected in-proximity parties during the Normanby Road early works.
In accordance with the designation and resource consent conditions, this CCP sets out the processes and protocols that will be implemented by the Link Alliance during the early works to:
• 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 and implementation of the CEMP and sub-plans (DWPs and Management Plans).
• 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.
4.2 Consultation and Communication A pproach
The purpose of this CCP is to describe the processes and protocols relating to how the Link Alliance will:
• Manage and deliver communications and consultation with the community, stakeholders, affected parties and affected in-proximity parties during the Normanby Road early works.
• Provide assistance and cooperation to CRLL in relation to media and key stakeholder relationship management
• Comply with the requirements and responsibilities set out in the CRL designation and resource consent conditions, and the overarching CRLL Communication and Consultation Plans (as identified in Section 1.4) for the wider CRL project.
This CCP will ensure:
• The public, including affected in-proximity and directly affected parties, are well informed of the early works.
• Disruptions are minimised.
• There is ‘one face’ for the early works.
• Both CRLL and Link Alliance maintain a positive reputation and support amongst the stakeholder groups.
• Information is provided early on key project milestones.
• A framework is provided to obtain feedback and input from directly affected and affected in proximity parties.
• That queries and complaints are responded to quickly and appropriately.
• Stakeholders, including the media, pedestrians, motorists, adjacent residents and businesses, are positively engaged.
• All parties involved in the early works understand their responsibilities and can collaborate and quickly respond to stakeholder concerns.
4.3 Key Project Messages
The key messages to be communicated to affected parties, stakeholder and wider audiences in relation to the wider CRL works are:
• CRL is integral to meeting Auckland’s growth and subsequent transport demands
• Completing the CRL will provide faster, more frequent travel for all Auckland rail users with two new stations at Aotea and Karangahape and major redevelopment of the Britomart and Mt Eden Stations.
• Better frequency and reliability will encourage people to leave their cars at home, easing pressure on Auckland’s roads for those who need to use them.
• The CRL is more than just improving public transport. It is a transformative project that will lead the way in integrated transport and urban development.
• It will enable significant residential and commercial development around the stations to create new urban precincts, support our housing needs, enhance our environment and make Auckland a more attractive place to live.
• Disruption during construction will be managed to ensure Auckland keeps working.
• The CEMP and sub-plans developed for the works reflect unwavering commitment to environmental sensitivity and community well-being, cultural matters and safety.
The following key messages are particularly relevant to the Normanby Road early works:
• Before the main works begin, early works are needed to relocate essential utilitiescurrently located under the Normanby Road level crossing - out of the way of the rail corridor so that trenching for the new CRL lines and construction of a new road-over-rail bridge can take place.
• Utility relocations will be carried out section-by-section along Normanby Road to minimise overall impact on traffic flow and properties. While this means on-street parking will be temporarily unavailable in the section being worked on, it does allow for two-way traffic flow to be maintained.
• The risk of flooding in the Normanby Road area will be reduced with the installation of new stormwater drainage lines and inlet structures.
• Access to properties will be maintained.
• Alternative carparking will be created for businesses located at 32 Normanby Road while construction works take place at the property
• Retaining walls will be built to support the car park regrading at 32 Normanby Road. This is required as the new Normanby Road bridge will be two metres higher the current level crossing to allow for clearance over the rail corridor.
• During Easter 2020, when trains are not running, the Link Alliance will take the opportunity to start building foundations for a temporary utility and pedestrian bridge required to get utilities over the existing train tracks - so that trenching and track-lowering works in the rail corridor can be undertaken
• During Easter 2020, the Link Alliance will also divert Water Street sewers (which currently cross under the existing tracks) into the new Normanby Road sewer line.
• Between May and September 2020, the Link Alliance will finish relocating the sewer to Water Street, complete the temporary utility bridge foundations, reinstate the carpark at 32 Normanby and build a retaining wall at 14-22 Boston Road.
The hierarchy of the key messages and the communication methods will be defined by the audience (e.g. local / regional / national) and its relationship to the project.
4.4 Expected Outcomes
The following is a summary of the outcomes expected as a result of implementing this CCP:
• Strong relationships with key stakeholders.
• Positive interaction with affected parties and affected in proximity parties.
• Robust information received to influence the CEMP, SIBD DWP and other sub-plans
• Effective Community and Business Liaison Group (CLG)
• Informed community.
• Informed road users.
• Informative and useful online presence.
• Positive media coverage.
• Reduced misinformation.

6. Communication Approach
6.1 Strategy Overview: Conversation Locally; Broadcast to Wider Audience
The Link Alliance’s communication and consultation approach will be to engage and inform the primary audience of local residents and businesses who are identified as being either an affected or affected-in proximity party about the Normanby Road early works. This engagement approach will prioritise face-to-face interaction and access to information to ensure affected parties are aware of the early works and associated actual or potential effects
The wider community will be engaged with through a predominantly online and electronic communication strategy. The key messages for this audience will be advanced communication of changes to road function , to enable informed choice and to ensure travel -related information is readily available.
The Link Alliance recognises the diversity amongst the stakeholders and their level of interest and likely involvement in the early works. While large segments of the community or particular groups have similar interests and issues, there are also specific individuals and groups with unique or individual needs. This includes those from culturally diverse backgrounds.
The Link Alliance will endeavour to fully understand stakeholders and the community, their expectations and communication needs.
The Link Alliance, in co-ordination with CRLL as required, will be responsible for maintaining clear lines of communication between key stakeholder groups and ensuring they are kept fully informed about the early works.
6.2 Communication Tools
The following engagement and communication tools will be utilised during the early works, with a preference for electronic media rather than printed material in keeping with the Link Alliance sustainability goals. They are consistent with the continuous and up to date engagement identified in Section 8.4 of the SIBD DWP (Appendix F of the CEMP).

7. Protocols, Processes and Contact Details
7.1 Community and Business Liaison Group
The establishment of a Community and Business Liaison Group (CLG) is one of the key consultation tools required by the CRL designation and resource consent conditions. The CLG is a key mechanism for reflecting community concern and interest and communicating the construction programme to the community’s most affected parties.
A CLG has been established for the Mt Eden area. Membership of the Mt Eden CLG includes representatives of local businesses and apartment blocks (including residents, body corporate reps), as well as property owners and interest groups. CRLL has been holding CLG meetings throughout the development of the sub-plans and the Link Alliance will continue to do so at least quarterly during construction of the early works (unless otherwise agreed).
7.1.1. Mt Eden CLG purpose
The purpose of the Mt Eden CLG is:
• For CRLL and Link Alliance to provide the community with regular updates on work progress, construction activities, including any significant changes or milestones, and the management of potential adverse construction effects.
• To ensure that community interests are identified and recognised through the construction process so that construction impacts/disruption can be minimised, and community safety can be appropriately managed.
• To provide feedback on the development of the CEMP and sub-plans.
• To monitor the effects of construction works on the community by providing a regular forum through which feedback can be provided to the Link Alliance.
• To provide opportunities for concerns and issues to be raised and responded by the Link Alliance.
• To propose initiatives regarding the interim use of properties including vacant land for the construction of CRL.
7.1.2. CLG Process
The Link Alliance will organise CLG meetings, including the meeting venue and provide administrative assistance to the CLG.
The process for coordinating Mt Eden CLG meetings is set out in Table 7-1 below.
Table 7-1: CLG meetings coordination
Stage Description
1 The Link Alliance Communications staff will liaise with the Mt Eden CLG members regarding meeting dates and venues. The venue will always be a local venue.
2 The Link Alliance will organise the CLG meetings and arrange for the appropriate Link Alliance personnel to be present.
3 The Link Alliance Communications staff will take notes and carry out actions required.
4 The Link Alliance Communications staff will keep a record of the meetings (including attendance). CRLL will subsequently publish the meeting minutes on the CRL project website. In accordance with the designation and resource consent conditions, the CLG shall be provided with a reasonable timeframe (not less than 10 working days) to provide feedback on the development, implementation and review of any material changes in relation to the CEMP and sub-plans.
7.2 Stakeholders and Affected Parties
The CRL designation and resource consent conditions identify a range of stakeholders in relation to the CRL project and require the identification of directly affected and affected in proximity parties for the early works. A number of the stakeholders identified in the designation and resource consent conditions are not relevant to the Normanby Road early works
A full list of the stakeholders and parties potentially affected by the works is provided in Appendix B and details of consultation and engagement undertaken with affected parties and affected inproximity parties are provided in Appendix C.
7.2.1. Pre-Construction Engagement
The Link Alliance has undertaken pre-construction communication and consultation with the parties identified in Section 2.3 and Appendix B. The outcome of the pre-construction engagement has informed the preparation of the SIBD DWP, CEMP, other DWPs and Management Plans required for the early works and identified below:
• Construction Environmental Management Plan;
• Communication and Consultation Plan (this plan);
• Transport, Access and Parking DWP;
• Construction Noise and Vibration DWP (including Site Specific Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plans [SSCNVMP / SSCNMP / SSCVMP]);
• Industrial and Trade Activities Environmental Management Plan (integrated into the CEMP and ESCP for the early works).
Feedback from directly affected and affected-in proximity parties, along with the CLG and key stakeholders, regarding the development of the CEMP and sub-plans is captured in the respective plans, along with the Link Alliance’s response to the feedback.
7.2.2. Construction Phase Engagement
The Link Alliance is required to monitor the construction works progress and identify activities that may impact on stakeholders. This includes ensuring workers understand the construction activities that may cause particular concern to the community, such as noisy activities or works that may result in disruption to property access or the transport network or works outside normal working hours.
The ‘Communication Tools’ detailed in Section 6.2 of this CCP provide a framework to proactively communicate with the stakeholders, directly affected and affected in-proximity parties and the wider community during the early works. In addition to the general communication and consultation protocols the following sections outline the stakeholder specific protocols which will be implemented.
Access to a member of the Link Alliance will also be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the CRL Freephone number: 0800 CRL TALK (275 8255)
This number will be promoted to directly affected and affected in proximity parties and stakeholders before construction works commence. This number will feature on all project signage, communication material, CRL website and other collateral.
The channels for the wider community to enquire about the early works, to make a complaint and to keep up-to-date with the early works are detailed in Section 7.4
7.2.3. Permit to Notify
When the Link Alliance is proposing to undertake works that will impact on particular persons or businesses, including works that exceed the CRL project noise limits, the Link Alliance Communications and Engagement Team shall notify those persons or businesses impacted by the works at least 24 hours in advance of the works being undertaken.
A Permit to Notify (PTN) will be used to facilitate Link Alliance’s internal approvals for works that are likely to have an impact on the adjacent community. This will provide a way to activate communication about potential impacts on affected parties, ensure that notification timeframes are met, and that advanced warning is provided.

The Mana Whenua forum is managed by CRLL and will continue to address matters such as:
• Preparation and review of CEMP and sub-plans;
• Archaeology, including assistance with discovery protocols;
• Kōiwi and artefact discovery;
• Cultural induction and monitoring; and
• Ongoing provision of mātauranga Māori input.
During construction works the Link Alliance shall:
• Attend the hui arranged by CRLL as required;
• Follow the protocols in the Archaeological Authority 4 granted for the CRL Aotea to Maungawhau (Mt Eden) construction works; and
• Ensure that all project staff are given a cultural induction, in accordance with iwi guidelines.
7.2.6. Network Utility Operators
Ongoing communication and consultation will be undertaken with NUOs during the early works as outlined below.
Material changes affecting Network Utilities
Where a material change is identified that has not already been agreed with the NUO and which affects network utilities, then the following process will be adopted:
• The Link Alliance will contact the relevant NUO to organise an on-site meeting in conjunction with the contractor.
• 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 Link Alliance representative and the relevant NUO Project Manager in order to identify a mutually agreeable outcome.
Section 176(1)(b) RMA Approvals
In relation to the Requiring Authority (CRLL) giving approval to NUOs under section 176(1)(b) of the RMA for NUO works in the CLR designation:
• The relevant NUO will identify the scope of work required to be undertaken, including location and timing.
• The Link Alliance Utilities Manager and the CRLL Utilities Manager 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, CRLL will determine whether or not the proposed utility works would ‘prevent or hinder’ the early works (and whether CRLL 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 the early works (particularly in the case of maintenance and urgent repair works).
Supplementary Authorisations
Depending on the circumstances, the relevant NUO or the Link Alliance Utiliti es Manager, along with the CRLL Utilities Manager will identify what authorisations are required and consider:
• 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 the CRL project, then the Link Alliance will meet with the relevant NUO Project Manager to identify an appropriate design and construction methodology for the works and confirm authorisations required. The Link Alliance will be
4 Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga reference 2017-793
responsible for obtaining any necessary authorisations (including resource consents where required).
Inspection and final approval of works by Network Utility Operators
The process for the inspection and final approval of works by NUOs is as follows:
• Upcoming inspection, testing, and commissioning works will be identified at weekly meetings between the Link Alliance and the NUOs.
• The Link Alliance 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 Link Alliance 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 Normanby Road early works, there will be regular on-site liaison between the Link Alliance and the NUOs. This will generally be undertaken by way of ‘tool box’ meetings at the start of each day, complemented by weekly meetings during utility construction works between the Link Alliance and the NUOs.
Review of CEMP and Sub-Plans
The CEMP and sub-plans for the early works will be reviewed as a result of a material change to the Normanby Road early works, or to address unforeseen adverse effects arising from construction, or unresolved complaints. The Link Alliance 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 complaints relating to the early works.
In accordance with designation Condition 15.7 and resource consent Condition 32, any parties affected by material change to the CCP shall be notified of the change within 20 working days of the change occurring.
Any updates to the CCP shall be provided to the “key contacts” identified in Section 6.1 of the CEMP (per designation Condition 15.6), the parties referred to in resource consent Condition 28(d) , and the Council (Team Leader Central Monitoring) for review and agreement on any further action to be undertaken. A formal review process is described in Section 7.1.2 and 7.2.9 of this CCP and Section 6.7 of the CEMP.
7.2.7. Emergency Services
As outlined in Section 6 of this CCP, the Link Alliance will consult with emergency services regarding their specific operational requirements in relation to the early works. This will include information on the location, timing and duration of the early works (particularly in relation to traffic lane reductions and/or closures, alternative routes and detours) and consultati on in advance of the commencement of construction.
The Transport, Access and Parking DWP (Appendix K of the CEMP) states that the early works will be undertaken so as not to impede emergency service access to properties adjacent to the early work area.
7.2.8.

• Engagement with NUOs has included a series of workshops, attended by Link Alliance technical staff, NUO project managers and specialist engineers from the CRLL Principal Technical Advisor Team. The workshops have addressed the particular scope, time and cost constraints of relocating live services in the early work area.
• Key outputs from the workshops include detailed design drawings of the combined services proposals, agreed programme and timing details for the work implementation, and commercial agreements for the procurement of the work.
• The requirement to provide continuous service supply to the building owners and occupiers and to minimise any service outages during the course of the works, have been key considerations during design development and construction planning of the early works.

Appendix D: Consultation Records
Mr Blair Masefield, Technical Director – Planning from Land and Survey Ltd, (on behalf of Auckland Council) has reviewed and provided comment on the draft CCP as follows:
Comment
6.1 para 1, discusses “local residents / businesses and affected / affected-in proximity parties”. Local residents and businesses are either part of the “ wider community” or they are “affected or affected by proximity parties”.
6.1 is silent on the strategy overview for Stakeholders which should also be part of the primary audience to achieve Condition 15.1. Additional paragraph(s) in 6.1 is required for Stakeholders. I recommend merging the first 3 paragraphs under 6.4, into 6.1 to address this.
6.1 para 2, refers to the wider audience as “the general public”. A term more consistent with the conditions is “the Wider Community”.
Table 6-1 would benefit from a new column to identify which groups of “Community”, “Stakeholders”, “Affected Parties” and “Affected by Proximity Parties”, each tool will be targeted toward. It also needs to provide the specific details of how the recommendation of s8.4 of the SIBD DWP will be implemented
6.4 is called “Identifying and Communicating with Key Stakeholders. That title is too narrow for this sections content. To be consistent with 7.2, I recommend “Affected Parties” is added to the heading name.
Resolution
Text revised to clarify.
Text from Section 6.4 moved to Section 6.1 to provide a better overview of the strategy.
Text revised as recommended.
New column added to identify the targeted audience and reference to Section 8.4 of the SIBD DWP.
Heading revised as recommended.
Comment
6.4.1 heading is recommended to be deleted. The text of 6.4.1 will become the introduction paragraph under heading 6.4 and be amended to state something like “This section sets out the method of identifying affected parties and stakeholders relevant to the Normanby Road Early Works and the Communications approach utilised in preparation of this CCP and the SIBD DWP, CEMP, other DWPs and Management Plans required for the early works. The stakeholders and affected parties and their contact details are provided in section 2.3 and Appendix B. The Link Alliance is responsible for keeping this list updated during the early works. An overview of the parties affected by the early works is set out below.”
6.4.2 needs to be renamed “Directly Affected and Affected by Proximity Parties” and a summary of the Communications Strategy/Approach undertaken with these parties included, with reference to section 2.3, Appendix C and the new sections in Section 7 (see comment on 7.2 below). This can be done by a brief summary of, and cross reference to Sections 5 and 6 of the SIBD DWP. Including the summary of Key Issues in s6.8 of the SIBD DWP would be helpful.
6.5 - I recommend this section be deleted as the communications channels are discussed in 6.4.2 - 6.4.10.
7.2.2 refers to “Stakeholders” and the “adjacent community”. The adjacent community is not defined and instead this section needs to set out how construction phase engagement with “affected and affected by proximity parties” will occur. It needs to cross reference to 7.4 for engagement with the wider Community.
7.2 is called Stakeholder and Affected Parties. It mostly discusses Stakeholders as per Appendix B. I recommend adding a new section(s) after 7.2.3 to specifically address “Affected Parties”, and “Affected by Proximity Parties”, with a cross reference to section 2.3, Appendix C and Table 6-1. These sections can summarise and cross reference to Section 8 of the SIBD DWP, especially 8.4 to 8.13.
Resolution
Text revised as recommended.
Text revised and added as recommended with cross reference to the SIBD DWP. A summary of the key issues is provided in the new section – Section 7.2.4.
Section 6.5 deleted as recommended.
Text revised to “stakeholders, directly affected and affected in-proximity parties and the wider community”. Text added to set out how the above parties can enquire and contact the Link Alliance during the construction phase.
Section 7.2.4 added to address affected parties and affected in-proximity parties.
Comment
7.4 is called ‘Public Engagement’. A term more consistent with the conditions is ‘Community Engagement’.
7.4.1 contains a sentence “This number will be promoted to directly affected and affected in proximity parties and stakeholders before construction works commence.” This should be moved up to 7.2.2.
Appendix B left column is entitled ‘stakeholder’ but also covers ‘directly affected’ and ‘affected in proximity parties’.
Resolution
Text revised as recommended.
Text moved to Section 7.2.2 as recommended.
Appendix B sub heading “Surrounding Community” contains the CLG and directly affected and affected in proximity, rather than the ‘wider community’.
Appendix B refers to ‘property owners’ – it is unclear how these differ from ‘directly affected and affected in proximity parties’.
Appendix C relates to ‘affected parties’ but includes both ‘directly affected and affected in proximity parties’.
Appendix C – it would greatly assist if the relevant sections of the identified DWP’s can be identified.
It does not provide details of feedback received from directly affected and affected in-proximity parties but refer reader to Appendix C.
Sub-heading revised to “Wider Community”.
Not all of the property owners are residential and business owners / occupiers.
Both directly affected and affected inproximity parties are considered as the ‘affected parties’.
Relevant sections of the identified DWPs’ are included.
