Developing the Empowered Communities Approach - Next Steps

 

Resolution number WTM/2015/17

MOVED by Deputy Chairperson PJ Coom, seconded by Chairperson S Chambers:  

a)      That the Developing the Empowered Communities Approach - Next Steps report be received.

b)      That the Waitematā Local Board:

i)     Notes local boards have a statutory role of community engagement, consultation and advocacy which is also embedded in the allocation of decision making responsibility for non-regulatory activities as this provides for local boards decision making role in local community development activities.

ii)    Supports in principal the community empowered approach proposed in the  draft Long Term Plan 2015-2025 to the work of Auckland Council through a move away from direct delivery (and therefore save overheads) and to capacity-building programmes for communities that funds community groups to deliver community initiatives and activities and for local boards to play a much more active role by allocating more funding through them.

 

iii)   Supports the Thriving Communities action plan which sets out to create an enabling council implementing a community-led approach and reducing bureaucratic barriers and in so doing helps empower local boards so they in turn can empower communities in a way that suits the area.

 

iv)   Notes that at this stage the level of resourcing for the Empowered Community Approach is unclear and as a result it is not possible to reach a position as to whether or not the proposal can be supported. 

 

v)    Requests that staff provide information about funding of the proposed approach, which identifies the total budget for Community Development and Safety, regional and local operating costs, potential funding that can be reallocated to local delivery and details on the functions and roles and those involved with implementing the approach.

 

vi)   Highlights that inadequate funding for the Empowered Communities Approach increases the risks inherent in any change of this nature, which may in turn hinder implementation.

 

vii)  Notes that the Political Advisory Group has extended discussion on the Empowered Communities Approach and therefore requests a new timeframe be provided identifying when further formal feedback by local boards will be sought on what emerges from these discussions.

 

viii) Wishes to emphasise that one size does not fit all and the approach must accommodate local requirements, not limit local options and must provide for flexibility in resourcing and models adopted for local delivery. It needs to take into account the wide variety of communities and their capacity, be responsive and support Maori in achieving their outcomes and be culturally attuned.

ix)   Notes that as the purpose of the Empowered Communities Approach is to develop a new more effective and empowering approach to the way council delivers services and supports community activity there is a need for a comprehensive change across the council family and whilst it is recognised there is a need to start somewhere such as Community Development and Safety, a programme is required which sets out how this will be extended to other departments. 

x)    Notes the need for a change in the organisational culture of the Council, along with the review of policies and practices across a range of functions, which currently limits or impedes a community empowered approach.

 

xi)   Requests that the Empowered Communities Approach be piloted in various local areas using Local Board Plan outcomes as a guide for such work programmes and the lessons learnt be used to refine and adapt the approach as required. This would inform the introduction of the approach.

 

xii)  Supports taking a multi-board approach if a project is deemed to be of greater community interest than a single local board area.

 

xiii) Supports locating the strategic broker role physically within local boards and recommends to the Chief Executive that organisationally the role is within Local Board Services.

MOVED by Deputy Chairperson PJ Coom, seconded by Member DA Yates:  

a)         That the Auckland Council Property Limited Local Board Six-Monthly update 1 July to 31 December 2014 report, be received.

 

b)         That the Waitemata Local Board:

 

I)          Reaffirms its support for the use of 27 Normanby Road site as a resource recovery centre, as part of the Auckland-wide Resource Recovery Network, noting:

i)         all other areas, other than the Central area, have had sites identified for resource recovery centres, and they are already operational or work is underway to establish them;

ii)        that 27 Normanby Road is still the favoured site and the Board does not believe that Auckland Transport requirements should have preference over a community recycling centre (particularly with reference to the Auckland Plan Priority 2 and Directive 7.11);

iii)        the Central area resource recovery centre will support a significant portion of the Auckland region’s population.

iv)        supports that, should 27 Normanby Road be sold, the retention of revenue of up to $9 million from the sale for the delivery of a Resource Recovery Centre for the Central area.
