Request for Feedback on Auckland Stormwater Infrastructure Network Discharge Consent Application |
|
Janet Kidd, Healthy Waterways Programme Lead was in attendance for this item. Ms Kidd explained what the legends on the tables mean. Local board members would like more detailed information and requested officers attend a workshop on this. Feedback was provided on the questions included in the report as follows: |
|
Resolution number HB/2015/151 MOVED by Chairperson JG Parfitt, seconded by Member GA Harding-Kirikiri: That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board: a) approve the following feedback on the draft stormwater network discharge consent application, with particular reference to local priorities for stormwater management. Question 1: Does the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board have any comments on the proposed framework of the Auckland-wide Stormwater Network Discharge Consent? Response: The local board supports the proposal to process the discharge consent based on the following key elements to address the seven stormwater issues: a) identification of regional priority areas b) ‘business as usual’ processes c) setting of objectives, outcomes and targets, as well as six-yearly reviews. The local board supports the view that high priority areas will be the focus, addressing effects from assets which we believe should be well maintained, through proposed general management practices. Work should be in relation to high growth areas occurring in our area, especially SHAs. The local board supports the view that infrastructure upgrades must occur in high growth demand areas and areas that have the highest habitable floor areas affected. With our long coastline and high number of streams and aquifers the local board believes that Auckland’s stormwater system must reduce the adverse effects of stormwater runoff to enhance our waterways. Wastewater network: The local board believes that the council must work collaboratively with Watercare to reduce wastewater infiltration and potential health risks. It is important that the local leakages from septic tanks are carefully managed. The local board believes that a 35-year consent (longest timeframe available) should be sought.
Question 2: Is there any feedback the local board would like to provide relating to the management of the public stormwater network? Response: Management of public stormwater is a key issue in the local board area with its low-lying coastal valleys. It would be helpful if staff were available to attend a workshop with the local board on this. Question 3: Are there any initiatives relating to stormwater management that the local board is investigating, in addition to those identified in the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board Plan? The local board is already funding a range of initiatives from the discretionary budget to provide better stormwater management eg “Love our Bays” and work at Weiti. It is important to work together with Watercare if this is to progress. Response: Yes, the ‘Love our Bays’ initiative which is focused on enhancing the water quality of our local streams. As covered in the local board plan, the local board has been involved with the restoration and enhancement of riparian margins of our streams and rivers and have supported education initiatives on pollution prevention and stream care through support for the Waicare and Enviroschools prgrammes. They have supported the development of Long Bay Reserve and continue to support the monitoring programme on the Long Bay Structure Plan although note it’s not being monitored to the same degree as legacy NSCC.

|
