|
|
Resolution number MO/2015/74
MOVED
by Chairperson L Sosene, seconded by Deputy Chairperson CM Elliott:
That the
Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:
a) That
the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board provide feedback on the
District Licensing Committee structure review as set out in Attachments A:
Feedback from the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and Ōtara Papatoetoe
Local Boards, Attachment B: Community Feedback, Attachment C: Observations of
Off-Licence Decisions, including these points:
i.
The review should consider
whether DLC decisions have resulted in worse outcomes than if ARLA had
remained the decision maker, in failing to produce safer and more responsible
sale, supply and consumption of alcohol, or to minimise harm caused by
excessive or inappropriate consumption of alcohol.
ii.
The
review should consider whether DLC decisions have sufficient regard to the
overriding purpose of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act. Further training
and development for DLC members is suggested on the overriding purpose of the
Act and the evidence-base of the Auckland Council draft LAP.
iii.
More
information should be provided by council to inform the public of how to
object and what to object about. This could be achieved through an improved
council website.
iv.
Hearing
processes should be changed to remove barriers to public participation,
including by reducing formality and intimidation of community objectors, by
holding weekend hearings, and by allowing objectors to leave after giving
their evidence (not having to stay all day).
v.
The
room used for hearings at Manukau is inaccessible and generally unsuitable,
and a better room should be found.
vi.
Decisions
should be written in plain English, and include a summary of the main points.
vii.
DLC
members should be more representative of local communities. No local DLC
member has been included in the panel in some local hearings, contrary to a
Governing Body resolution. This should change in future.
viii.
The
structure of the DLC should be changed to establish a localised model to
operate in southern urban local board areas, replacing the existing regional
DLC model.
ix.
There
is insufficient consistency between DLC panels, in their approaches to
hearings, decision-making and their knowledge of local area and alcohol-related
issues.
x.
An
independent senior legal practitioner should be asked to review all DLC
decisions and recommend how to improve consistency.
xi.
The
review should consider if resourcing is an issue for DLCs, and the need for a
top-up from general rates (justified by public good) to implement review
outcomes.
xii.
The
review should address an apparent conflict between the regulatory role of
inspectors (working regularly with applicants) and the role of inspectors as
professional experts reporting on the applications.
xiii.
The
review should consider how to ensure adequate follow-up of DLC decisions and
applicant undertakings, and to ensure enforcement, if necessary.
b) Circulates
these resolutions and attachments A, B and C to all local boards.
c) Appoints Nick Bakulich as lead representative (specifically
for alcohol licensing only) under the board’s Local planning, policy,
governance, regulatory, bylaws and compliance portfolio.

Developing the Empowered Communities Approach - Next Steps
|
|
|
Resolution number MO/2015/78
MOVED
by Chairperson L Sosene, seconded by Member TW Togiamua:
That the
Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:
a) Confirms,
in principle, support for the proposed Empowered Communities Approach (ECA),
as it places emphasis on reducing bureaucratic barriers and offers an
opportunity to reorient the way council works towards a more community
initiated and led approach.
b) Supports
the ‘Thriving Communities’ action plan as it provides direction for enabling
a council-wide approach in supporting communities.
c) Recommends
that the ECA is aligned to local board plan outcomes.
d) Notes that
community capacities in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local board area are
different to other parts of the wider city and capacity building is crucial
for local communities.
e) Notes that
flexibility must be maintained as it is key to accommodate unique communities.
f) Notes that
cohesiveness and well-being of local communities is a fundamental concern of
local boards.
g) Notes that
a complete and sudden reversal from what is currently delivered by council,
to transfer to the community, does not equate to community empowerment.
h) Supports a
measured introduction of the ECA over time and suggests that implementation
of the model continues beyond the commencement of the 2015/2016 financial
year.
i) Notes that
funding for the ECA, and its impact on local board budgets is unclear, and
for that reason the board is constrained in providing more specific responses
to the proposal.
j) Notes that
the proposed model should not limit focus to a few existing, established and
active groups and organisations.
k) Notes that
a range of solutions to deliver on key local board projects and outcomes can also
be contracted or resourced to a variety of external parties.
l) Notes that
the mandate for the functions of a strategic broker and community hub must be
driven by local boards as initiatives for community empowerment, to deliver
local outcomes.
n) Notes that
regular contact with local boards and face-to-face interaction is important
to deliver on initiatives undertaken through the ECA.
n) Notes that the
board does not support the proposal for an ‘Auckland Wide Response’ as it
appears to be a regressive move; but there may be opportunities for a local
board to take up projects that have relevance to multiple boards, but these
are mandated locally and not through a top-down approach.
o) Confirms
overall feedback in Attachment C.

work programme
Purpose
To approve changes to the
environment work programme agreed by the board at is November 2014 meeting.
Background
At its November 2014 meeting, the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board (the board)
agreed to provide funding of $15,000 from its Environmental Initiatives,
including Manukau Harbour budget line to support the conservation of the
threatened māwhai (native cucumber) at Otuataua Stonefields. While
awaiting permission from Heritage New Zealand for permission to erect the fence
around the māwhai population, a second population was discovered at the
site. This population had been uncovered due to weed control undertaken nearby.
As such, it is no longer considered necessary to continue with conservation
measures for the first population.
Environmental
Services has discussed with parks staff opportunities for expending the $20,000
allocated to the māwhai protection project. Parks staff have recommended
that this funding be reallocated to the Pukaki Crater restoration project (also
being funded by the Environmental Initiatives budget line). This budget would
support the urgent need to address erosion near the urupā through fencing
and planting.
Recommendations
a)
Agrees that the proposed new fenced enclosure to protect the māwhai
(native cucumber) population at Otuataua Stonefields no longer proceed due to
the recent discovery of a second population.
b)
Agrees that the $20,000 allocated to the māwhai enclosure from the
board’s Environmental Initiatives, including Manukau Harbour budget line be
reallocated to support restoration of the Pukaki Crater

CHAIR MANGERE-OTAHUHU
LOCAL BOARD
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
- Reverend Dixon
- MP Su’a William Sio
- Pastor Sekope Uhila
- Fellow elected
members
- Distinguished guests,
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
Good morning and welcome
everyone.
It is a privilege and an honour to be here to deliver
this address – and to commemorate this special day with you.
And, let us all agree, ANZAC Day is the most important
day on our nation’s calendar – and within our hearts.
A spirit born on the battlefield in a far-away place….
…. so many years ago….
… every year…
… on April 25th…
…brings our community – young and old – together.
Together, we remember and revere those who paid the
price for the peace and freedom we can enjoy today.
It is a time for reflection, and renewal of a pledge
that the sacrifices of too many of our countrymen and women in times of war,
will not have been in vain.
In places all over New Zealand today, we will hear a
multitude of voices echo the promise: lest we forget.
This is one of 70+ such services being held this year
in more than 55 locations across Auckland.
From Gallipoli to Afghanistan, New Zealanders have
served courageously the world over – in the hope that we might never again have
to face the horrors of war.
Our country has forged a proud record as a valiant and
trusted ally.
So many Kiwis have distinguished themselves fighting
not just for their country but for what we all believe in:
·
Honour
·
Fairness
and
·
Freedom.
For their sacrifices we remain eternally grateful.
I, once again, wish to thank the Returned Services
Association – on behalf of my fellow residents – for the work you have done –
and still do – within our communities.
You are a truly special group of people and I am very
proud to wear my poppy in your honour.
For me, Anzac Day would not be Anzac Day without being
at a commemorative service.
Together, we stand shoulder to shoulder – in honour of
those who have made the greatest sacrifices for us.
I think about members of my own family and those in
the community who went to war and did not return.
ANZAC Day is a special time for families – spanning
all generations – respecting the past and forging a more peaceful future.
Conflicts between nations have touched all our lives
in some way – and if our young people are to build and preserve a peaceful
future, it is important that we remember.
Our nation has been built on immigration and the
descendants of our warriors and their wives have enriched our land and
communities.
ANZAC Day is a time to renew the bonds of friendship
forged in hardship, and to celebrate the camaraderie which never dies.
In true ANZAC spirit, the support each nation provided
the other in these desperate times shone like a beacon of hope.
The past: WE COMMEMORATE HERE
TODAY
The present: We acknowledge so many friendships
shared.
The future: We look around us today at our
young people and take heart that - with their enduring commitment - peace- making
will forever define our proud nation.

Pacific Wave Conference
Hilton Hotel Auckland – 15 May 2015
Lemauga Lydia Sosene attended the
above conference on IT Connectivity in the Pacific. This is an issue in
Mangere-Otahuhu as well, getting our young people connected to IT. It is also
an issue for the Pacific Region as many of our local communities continue to
connect with their extended families, but sometimes are faced with very
expensive costs.
The Conference mainly focused on
Infrastructure (fibre optics, satellite technology, mobile technology and other
IT sources) and Businesses through IT. A range of speakers provided vital
information on their successes but also what their ongoing challenges including
finance trying to interact with Island nations in the Pacific Region.
Useful thinking and discussions of
this opportunity, I raised with at least 3 of the speakers how there are
similar issues of connectivity in Mangere and Otahuhu, not just the Pacific
Region.

Memo
- Otahuhu Recreation Precinct – Future Name
Purpose
This memo addresses the future name of the Ōtāhuhu
Recreation Precinct and enables the Local Board to consider Mana Whenua’s offer
to gift a tupuna (ancestral) name for the precinct.
Background
Auckland Council is developing the Ōtāhuhu
Recreation Precinct as a community facility hub on Fairburn Reserve, Mason
Avenue, Ōtāhuhu, which is due to open in August 2015. The precinct
includes a library, swimming pool, recreation centre, common reception area and
open-space. The vision for the precinct is to be an integrated hub of community
facilities and a place for the whole community.
The Ōtāhuhu Recreation Precinct is the working
title for the project. It is desirable to have an overall name for the precinct
which reinforces the integrated facility provision and the holistic service
delivery that council wish to implement at the precinct.
Individual facilities within the precinct can follow council
naming conventions. For the pool and recreation centre the convention is to use
the area name followed by pool and leisure centre. The convention for naming of
new libraries to date is area name followed by pātaka kōrero.
Engagement with Mana Whenua
Council has been working with Mana Whenua with an interest
in the Ōtāhuhu area including Te Akitai Waiohua, Ngāti
Whātua o Ōrākei, Ngaati Te Ata, Ngāti Paoa, Ngāti Maru
and Te Ahiwaru on the development of the Otahuhu Recreation Precinct.
On 7 May 2015 a hui involving representatives of Mana Whenua
and the local board discussed the development of the precinct. During the hui,
Te Akitai Waiohua offered as a gift, a name of cultural significance for the
Ōtāhuhu Recreation Precinct. It was noted Mana Whenua had worked
through a collaborative process to identify a name for the precinct.
Te Akitai Waiohua have offered the name “Tōia” for the
Ōtāhuhu Recreation Precinct. A description of the name and its
significance is provided by Te Akitai Waiohua below.
Tōia
– (Dragging)
The
Ōtāhuhu waka portage is of considerable cultural and ancestral
significance to Māori. It is regarded as having significance not only to
the Tainui people, but also to the iwi of Tamaki Makaurau “Namely Te
Ākitai Waiohua”
Over
many centuries the 700 metre waka portage enabled relatively easy access for
Māori between the Tamaki river and the Manukau Harbour.
Toia
today reflects not only the portage of the Tainui waka, but also the continual
arrival and settlement of other wakas (cultures) to the Ōtāhuhu
area. A forever evolving journey and partnership with the past and the
present.
Ā
tōia ia mai (Drag it here)
Te
waka (The canoe)
Ki te
urunga (To the entry)
Te
waka (The canoe)
Ki te
moenga (To the berth)
“Tōia” has the support of Ngāti Whātua o
Ōrākei and Ngaati Te Ata as the overall precinct name.
Ngāti Maru have expressed they would like to see the
retention of Ōtāhuhu within the naming. This can be achieved by using
“Tōia” as the overall precinct name, and using Ōtāhuhu library,
pool and leisure centre respectively for identifying the individual facilities.
Next Steps
Under the allocation of decision-making responsibilities,
local boards are responsible for naming of new local facilities.
While there are several different processes the local board
could use to name the precinct, receiving the gift from Mana Whenua is an
opportunity for the Local Board to acknowledge the cultural history and
significance of the area for Māori. This supports two outcomes in the
Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Plan “Māngere-Ōtāhuhu
is the heart of Māori and Pasifika arts and culture” and “A place where
environment and heritage are protected, enhanced and preserved”. Guidelines for
the naming of parks and facilities support using names of cultural significance
to the local area.
It is recommended the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local
Board consider and make a decision on the future name for the Ōtāhuhu
Recreation Precinct at its board meeting on 20 May 2015. It would be timely to
resolve the precinct name to enable the preparation of signage and
communication material for the precinct opening scheduled for August 2015.
It is also recommended the project team work with Mana
Whenua and council’s communication and marketing team to determine how the name
should be visually represented within signage, marketing and communication
material.
Recommendations
That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:
Consider accepting “Tōia” as a gift from Te Akitai
Waiohua for the future name for the Ōtāhuhu Recreation Precinct,
noting this name has the support of Ngāti Whātua o Ōrākei
and Ngaati Te Ata.
Requests the Ōtāhuhu Recreation Precinct project
team work with Mana Whenua and the Communication and Marketing team to
determine how the name will be visually presented in signage, marketing and
communication material.
