4. Three community funding rounds are scheduled for this financial
year. The first round closed on 31 July 2014 and the second on 7 November
2014. The third round closed on 6 March 2015.
5. Through community grants, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board
aims to build social capital within the local community by supporting projects
that provide a community benefit, are equitable and inclusive and result in an
ongoing gain to the local area. When reviewing applications, the local board should
be guided by the following criteria (these are not eligibility criteria, rather
they are guidelines to help the local board when considering the merits of each
proposal):
a) the proposal’s benefit to the
local area
b) the applicant group’s role in the
local area
c) the proposal’s alignment with the
board’s priorities, such as:
· young
people
· Maori
· the
environment
· culture
and arts
· social
cohesion
· recreation
and sport
· heritage
d) whether the group applies to
receive the proceeds of gaming machines.
6. This fund is allocated at the local board’s discretion. In accordance
with its fiduciary duties, the local board is to act honestly, avoid conflicts
of interest and act in what the local board believes to be the best interests
of the community.
7. The
fund was advertised through local papers, community networks and on the Auckland
Council website.
8. For the 2014/2015 financial year, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local
Board set a total community funding budget of $80,000. $27,617 was allocated in round one, $23,111 was allocated in round
two, leaving $29,272 for round three.
9. Twenty-five
applications were received in this round, with a total request of $87,305.50.
Consideration
Local
Board views and implications
10. Applications were circulated to the local board for consideration
prior to this meeting.
Māori
impact statement
11. Community funding is a general programme of interest and accessible
to a wide range of groups, including Maori. Maori are therefore likely to
benefit alongside other groups in the community.
Implementation
12. The allocation of grants to community groups is within the adopted
annual plan.
13. Following the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board allocating
funding for round three, Community Development, Arts and Culture will
notify the applicants of the local board decision.

Local board advocacy and feedback on Long-term Plan
2015 – 2025 proposals
File No.: CP2015/05227
Purpose
1. This report provides
a summary of the feedback received
through the Long-term Plan 2015 - 2025 (LTP) consultation relevant to the
Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area.
2. This report requests that the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local
Board agree on its advocacy points for discussion with
the Budget Committee in April 2015.
3. This report will inform decisions that the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board make on its locally driven
initiatives (LDI) budgets.
Executive
Summary
4. The LTP proposals were released for public consultation in January
2015, with local engagement and Have Your Say events held through until 16
March to receive feedback. Feedback was also received through written or
online forms, email and through social media.
5. In total, the Council received and processed 27,383 pieces of
written feedback of which 935 were received from the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area. In addition 50 people attended a Have Your Say event in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki area on
10 March.
6. This report provides a summary of the
feedback received through the LTP consultation on
proposals for the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board area. It also summarises feedback on the regional proposals from
people or organisations based in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki area.
7. The feedback included in this report will enable the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board to finalise and agree on its advocacy to the Budget Committee at discussions on 24, 28 and 29
April. These discussions are timed to inform the Budget
Committee prior to it making decisions on the LTP on 7 and 8 May.
8. The feedback
included in this report will also inform the decisions the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki local board will make in finalising its LDI and advocacy content for
its 2015/2016 Local Board Agreement.

Recommendation/s
That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki
Local Board:
a) receives the
feedback on the long-term plan 2015-2025 proposals
b) confirms the following
advocacy points for the discussions with the Budget Committee on 24, 28 and 29 April:
i) More
investment in the greenways network – a walking, cycling and ecological
pathway connecting people to local destinations
ii) Improvements
to the cluster of community buildings in Glen Innes (Library, CAB, Plunket,
Marae and community hall) to enable these buildings to serve the community
better
iii) Hydrodynamic
modelling of the Manukau Harbour to enhance understanding of the harbour and
recognise its importance.

Comments
9. The summary of the feedback received through the
Long-term Plan 2015-2025 (LTP) consultation relevant to the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board is appended as Attachment A. The feedback recorded from local engagement
and Have Your Say events is appended as Attachment B.
10. All written feedback from the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board has been collated into a single document (Attachment C – under
separate cover) for distribution but, due to the size of this document only a
limited number of copies will be printed. The full submissions will be
available on Auckland Council’s website and a small number of printed copies
will be available for use in the Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board office.
11. This feedback builds on the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board’s understanding of its community’s priorities and
preferences. It will inform the local board’s advocacy to the Budget
Committee at discussions on 24, 28 and 29 April. At these discussions the local board will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the key
consultation issues of investing in Auckland, fixing transport, sharing rates
and housing and development. The local board may also provide feedback on
regional proposals with particular impact locally and may advocate for specific
local priorities where the Budget Committee is the decision maker, such as
large capital projects.
12. During the LTP
consultation process, the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board
consulted with its community on the following advocacy points, all of which had
been previously identified as significant priorities for the community during
the local board plan consultation process in 2014:
· More investment in the greenways network –
a walking, cycling and ecological pathway connecting people to local
destinations;
· Improvements to the cluster of community
buildings in Glen Innes (Library, CAB, Plunket, Marae and community hall) to
enable these buildings to serve the community better.
· Hydrodynamic modelling of the Manukau
Harbour to enhance understanding of the harbour and recognise its importance.
13. Feedback on the
two advocacy points which were included in the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board’s formal LTP consultation materials is included in
Attachment A.
Consideration
Local
Board views and implications
14. The
Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board needs to consider any changes
that it might make to its LDI budgets or advocacy in light of the feedback on
the LTP proposals.
Māori
impact statement
15. Many local board
decisions are of importance to and impact on Maori. The local board agreements
are important tools that enable and can demonstrate the council’s
responsiveness to Maori. The local board agreement is based on the local board
plan which are both been developed through engagement with the community,
including Maori.
Implementation
16. Following the
local board discussions with the Budget Committee on
24, 28 and 29 April the Budget Committee will make decisions on regional
proposals on 7 and 8 May. Local boards will then hold workshops from 14 to 20
May to finalise their local board agreements prior to them being adopted at
board meetings between 9 and 16 June.
