Local Board Plan Hearings - Orakei Local Board

27 August 2014

 

 

Summary of submissions to the Draft Orākei Local Board Plan 2014

 

File No.: CP2014/18761

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       This report provides high-level analysis of submissions to the Draft Orākei Local Board Plan 2014.

Executive summary

2.       The Local Government Act 2002 and Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 require Council to use the special consultative procedure in adopting the Orākei Local Board Plan 2014. This includes ensuring any person submitting on the Draft Orākei Local Board Plan 2014 is given reasonable opportunity to be heard.

3.       We received 3943 submissions on the Draft Orākei Local Board Plan 2014. Of these, 3457 were pro forma and 30 related to all the draft local board plans.

4.       469 submitters wish to speak in support of their submission at a public hearing; however, approximately 380 of these were part of the Auckland Netball pro forma. Auckland Netball have agreed that they can speak on behalf of these submitters, but individuals can still make a verbal submission if they choose to do so.

5.       The Orākei Local Board asked submitters for feedback on four questions: their overall evaluation of the plan, the top five projects or initiatives, whether they had any other comments and whether there was anything missing from the plan. Of the 1238 who responded to the first question, 94% agreed or strongly agreed that the plan was on the right track.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Local Board Plan Hearings - Orakei Local Board:

a)   receive submissions on the Draft Orākei Local Board Plan 2014.

b)   hear the relevant submissions on the Draft Orākei Local Board Plan 2014.

c)   thank submitters for their verbal presentations on the Draft Orākei Local Board Plan 2014.

d)   consider any potential amendments to the Draft Orākei Local Board Plan 2014.

Consideration

Local board views and implications

16.     The Orākei Local Board will consider verbal submissions to the Draft Orākei Local Board Plan 2014 at a hearing meeting on 27 August at St Chad’s Community Centre and Church. Depending on the number of submitters wishing to be heard, further hearings may be scheduled.

Māori impact statement

17.     The Orakei Local Board has given consideration to M­āori outcomes throughout the development of the Orakei Local Board Plan, consequently the implementation of the Plan has the potential for positive outcomes for M­āori. 

18.     The Orakei Local Board invited the Orakei community, including local mana whenua, to several consultation events in the early stages of development of the Local Board Plan. Local mana whenua also attended a joint central and western boards hui on 14 July 2014. Discussion with Ngāti Paoa in particular identified a number of areas where the Board and the Iwi can work together on Plan initiatives.

19.     The draft Plan documents a number of initiatives where the Board intends to work with mana whenua, particularly Ngāti Whātua Orākei. These include: the Mission Bay to Whenua Rangatira (and Bastion Point) walkway urban design and public art project; stream ‘daylighting’ (un-piping) at Okahu Bay and Mission Bay; as well as projects for the still to be developed Mission Bay Action Plan, and the implementation of the Tamaki Drive Master Plan and the Orākei Visitor Strategy (e.g. the Ngāti Whātua Whai Maia (Tamaki Hikoi) visitor trail.

20.     The priorities and preferences expressed by M­āori rate payers and residents have been considered in the development of the Draft Orakei Local Board Plan.

Implementation

21.     Implementation of Draft Orakei Local Board Plan 2014 initiatives raised in submissions will be considered at decision-making meetings on the Plan.
