MOVED by Chairperson CM Farmer, seconded by Member SPT
Matafai:
That
the Whau Local Board:
a)
Provides the following feedback on the Draft Community
Facilities Network Plan:
i.
strongly supports the Plan’s recognition of the need for the
replacement of the Avondale Community Centre as a priority.
ii.
strongly supports the Plan’s recognition of the gap in access to
recreation facilities in the Whau and it’s high prioritisation as a matter of
equity and wellbeing.
iii.
strongly supports the Plan’s recognition of the need for aquatic
facilities for the residents of the Whau.
iv.
notes the high rate of development in the Whau and requests that
the identification of potential sites for the recreation and aquatic
facilities in the Whau be progressed as soon as possible to ensure
·
integration
with town centre and residential development
·
lowest
cost to Council as property values are increasing quickly relative to other
areas in Auckland
·
maximum
opportunity to access preferred locations
v.
requests that the Plan more strongly demonstrates its links to
achieving each Local Board Plan.
vi.
requests that the Plan recognises a wider range of sizes of
community centres that can better relate to smaller neighborhoods.
vii.
requests that the Plan more strongly acknowledge, special
housing areas, rates of growth and the effects of intensification
particularly in its prioritisation process.
viii.
supports a stronger recognition of the potential for facility
and programme partnering as a tool for delivering the Plan particularly
community centres.
ix.
requests that the community facilities management and
partnership sections be given more prominence and the action areas be
developed further in the final document.
x.
notes the loss of community facility staffing in the Whau and
the current inequitable provision of programme staffing across the region and
requests that the Plan gives stronger recognition of the need for equitable
resourcing of programming that responds to local socio-economic needs.
b) Notes proposed revised timeframes to include
libraries in the Community Facilities Network Plan and that further
engagement with local boards will be undertaken to discuss the libraries
content and the final revised network plan.

million dollars will be allocated towards recreation facilities in the Whau
area.
