Resolution number PKTPP/2014/115
MOVED
by Chairperson JM Fairey, seconded by Member MP Wood:
That the Puketāpapa
Local Board:
a)
receives
the report.
b)
affirms
the Board’s role as the administering body and decision maker for Walmsley
and Underwood Reserves.
c)
expresses
its in-principle support for naturalisation of Te Auaunga/Oakley Creek in the
two reserves and confirms willingness to work collaboratively with other
Council agencies to ensure delivery of the project, subject to the Board
being satisfied that the Board’s position as decision maker is properly
recognised and reflected in line with the recommendations below.
d)
requires
that planning, consultation, and delivery of the Oakley Creek Naturalisation
project, is integrated with the Board’s own Concept Planning for the
two Reserves. The Board notes that this requires active collaboration and
agreement between the Board and Stormwater at all stages of the project.
e)
urgently
requires a meeting with Stormwater and other key partners within Council to
establish a Terms of Reference to establish how the parties will work
together, noting that a Terms of Reference reflecting governance of the
project and describing the relationship between the Board and Stormwater does
not require the appointment of a design consultant.
f)
notes
that as a key component of the Terms of Reference and subsequent project
objectives, the Board expects a range of community and social outcomes to be
included, consistent with the Board’s draft Local Board Plan, in particular
piloting a ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’ approach.
g)
notes its
frustration that there is still a lack of clarity around how costs might be
spread between Stormwater and the Board as a part of the integrated project.
The Board expects that a key component of the Terms of Reference a clear
agreement on how costs for implementation of the integrated project will be
shared.
h)
further
to (g) the Board expresses its concern about the delay in delivery of the
Owairaka/Underwood Bridge because of the project and signals its
unwillingness to contribute funds over and above the $150,000 that has
previously been allocated. The Board expects this matter to be settled with
Stormwater and the Albert-Eden Local Board as a part of the Terms of
Reference.
i)
specifically
notes that the consultation strategy should be developed in conjunction with
the Board, and that the Board’s role should not be limited to commenting on
the strategy or providing final sign-off. The Board believes that the
consultation strategy should be agreed and delivered jointly between
Stormwater and the Board, taking account of the fact that the Board is the
established face of Auckland Council in the local community.
j)
appoints
Member Doig (Environment and Infrastructure), Member Wood (Parks & Open
Spaces and Heritage) and Chairperson Fairey as spokespeople for the project
and to lead discussions with Stormwater about the Terms of Reference and
other on going project liaison with Stormwater.
k)
requests
that a joint Council officers and Local Board internal governance group be
established to oversee the Walmsley/Underwood stormwater project
l)
requests
that a joint iwi/community/Local Board external reference group be
established to provide input into the Walmsley/Underwood stormwater project
m)
thanks Rebecca
Eng and Monique Zwaan for their attendance.
