Draft Unitary Plan: Puketapapa Local Board Feedback
File No.: CP2014/01404
Purpose
1. This report provides Puketāpapa Local Board feedback to the Unitary Plan Committee (UPC) on the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (PAUP). The feedback will inform local board discussion with the Unitary Plan Committee on 11 and 12 February 2014 and decisions by the Governing Body on 27 February 2014 on the final Auckland Council submission.
Executive Summary
2. The development of the Unitary Plan for Auckland presents a unique opportunity to bring together a large number of existing resource management plans into a single document and give effect to the Auckland Plan. The Unitary Plan was notified for public feedback in September 2013.
3. Local boards have the opportunity to provide formal feedback on the proposed Auckland Unitary Plan for discussion with the UPC at workshops on 11 and 12 February 2014 and to help inform decision by the UPC on 27 February 2014.
4. This feedback is informed by the Local Board’s feedback from Phase 1 (September to December 2012), public feedback from Phase 2 (February 2013 to present) and the Local Board’s own views, informed by workshops and briefings on the development of the draft Unitary Plan. In particular, this submission is informed by Stage 2 of the on-going development of the Three Kings Precinct Plan and the design group workshops convened with the major landholders over the last three months.
That the Puketāpapa Local Board: a) provides feedback on the Proposed Auckland Unitary. (Feedback will be tabled at the meeting) |
Discussion
5. The development of the Unitary Plan for Auckland presents a unique opportunity to bring together a large number of existing resource management plans into a single document. The Unitary Plan has the potential to improve planning outcomes by providing a consistency in policy, controls and zoning for managing development, efficiency gains for Council, business and all other users of the planning system. Most importantly, it presents an opportunity to simplify the planning system, broaden the community’s understanding of how Auckland’s built and natural environment is managed and lead to the improvement in the quality of Auckland’s environment.
6. Local boards have been involved and had given input into the development of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan through APC workshops and formal submissions in November 2012 and June-July 2013.
7. Many of the matters raised by the Board have been taken into account in the PAUP, but the Board has further refined some issues, which will be discussed at a workshop in 5 February and finalized at the Board meeting on 10 February 2014.
Consideration
Local Board Views
8. Input and feedback from all local boards is being sought as part of the development of the Auckland Council submission on the PAUP by 28 February 2014.
Maori Impact Statement
9. The development of the Unitary Plan is of significance to Maori. Consultation requirements with Mana Whenua are being met by the Council in accordance with an Iwi Engagement Strategy that meets the requirements of Schedule One of the Resource Management Act 1991. The Unitary Plan Political Working Party and the Auckland Plan Committee also has representation from the Independent Maori Statutory Board.
Implementation Issues
10. No issues arising from this report.
There are no attachments for this report.
