Jane Koch (Lead Financial Advisor) in attendance for this item. |

Resolution number RD/2015/99 MOVED by Chairperson BM Steele, seconded by Member PH Pirrie: That the Rodney Local Board: a) considers that the proposed discretionary fund for local board capital expenditure (capex fund) should be allocated between local boards based on model E in the report, being where Great Barrier receives 1% and Waiheke receives 2% of total funds, remaining funds allocated to all other boards based on 90% population, 5% deprivation and 5% land area. b) considers that any model for allocating the local board capital discretionary expenditure which is reliant on population alone will significantly disadvantage the residents of the Rodney Local Board area due to the large lass mass of the local board area, being 46 per cent of the Auckland region and due the areas of deprivation in Rodney. c) considers that the quantum of capital funds available for allocation to the local boards is insufficient to achieve tangible and significant outcomes for communities as identified in the local board plans, particularly noting that local board budgets in their entirety are approximately 1 per cent of Auckland’s annual budget. d) strongly oppose the proposal to remove the ability of local boards to fund capital projects with Locally Driven Initiatives (LDI) funding for the following reasons: (i) A change to the financial model at this point will result in projects confirmed in the local board plan and the Long Term Plan 2015 – 2025 not being able to be delivered. (ii) The Long Term Plan 2015 – 2025 was consulted on and communities should be able to rely on the outcomes resolved without significant change for three years. (iii) Any change should be transitioned in rather than occur immediately and this transition should begin at the next LTP review. e) oppose the proposal to remove the ability of local boards to use capex funding allocations to bring capital projects forward.

MOVED by Chairperson BM Steele, seconded by Member PH Pirrie That the Rodney Local Board: a) supports the purpose and principle of the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy to provide a robust and logical sequence for when the Future Urban areas are proposed to be ‘development ready’ across the three decades of the Auckland Plan. b) provides the following feedback regarding the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy in the Warkworth area as follows: (i) Requests consideration of a natural growth out from the centre of Warkworth rather than the proposed specific focus on north or any focus on development in the south, subject to infrastructure constraints. (ii) Considers that transport projects in the Warkworth area should be delivered immediately (decade 1 first half) to address the current issues in the area, including Hill Street, Western Collector and planning for Matakana Link Road. (iii) Considers that the timing sequencing proposed for the Warkworth area generally, being the 1st and 2nd half of the second decade is appropriate based on concentric growth out from the centre of Warkworth. (iv) Requests that the area of land zoned Future Urban in the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan which has been removed from the strategy, being land between Matakana and Sandspit Roads, be included in the strategy and a ‘link road’ be proposed in future plans as the north eastern extent of this zone.
c) provides the following feedback regarding the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy in the Dairy Flat, Silverdale, Wainui area as follows: (i) acknowledge community views to develop the Dairy Flat, Silverdale, Wainui area either in the 1st or 2nd decade rather than the third decade, subject to infrastructure constraints. (ii) It is requested that future planning work ensure that adequate land is provided for employment areas in the Dairy Flat, Silverdale, Wainui area. (iii) support the Dairy Flat, Silverdale, Wainui area shown in the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy and request that the Auckland Development Committee support a change to include all of this area as future urban in the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan.
d) provides the following feedback regarding the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy in the Kumeu-Huapai, Riverhead area as follows: (i) support the sequencing proposed for the North West Special Housing Areas (SHA’s), being the 1st half of the first decade as these developments are occurring now. (ii) considers that the sequencing proposed for the Kumeu-Huapai, Riverhead area is of such a significant scale that an alternative to sequencing would be to stage the sequence over decades 2 and 3 however, planning for existing areas and transport improvements is required now. (iii) Transport infrastructure must be in place before development, including integrated public transport such as buses, trains and park n rides. (iv) It is considered unacceptable that SHA’s are in place now before the infrastructure required to support them. (v) No live zoning should occur until structure plans are in place and these need to be partnership with the community. e) delegate to the chairperson and deputy chairperson of the Rodney Local Board to provide additional feedback on the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy following the receipt of public feedback.
