|||
|
Additional support and funding for a Southern Waste Recycling Centre |

|||
|
Increase in the proportion of local development contributions for local investments to offset adverse effects of increased growth. |

development growth and distributing those funds to another local board area.
Growth in the local board area requires that commensurate resources be
reinvested back into the local area to offset development pressures i.e.
increased traffic, lack of community facilities, loss of amenity and public
open space. |
No funding required. |
|||
|
Support the development of the Southern Initiative |
The Southern Initiative |
The board supports the
Auckland Plan priority for transformational change through the agency of the
