Resolution number RD/2015/148
MOVED
by Member BP Houlbrooke, seconded by Chairperson BM Steele:
That the Rodney
Local Board:
a) receives the Warkworth
Swimming Pool Site Feasibility Study.
b) expresses
its extreme disappointment that no officer resource will be available in the
Community & Social Policy, Auckland Council Chief Planning Office to
support the preparation of a business case for a future swimming pool in
Warkworth.
c) consider
that it is unacceptable that the business case for a swimming pool in
Warkworth will not be progressed despite $70,000 being allocated in the
2015/2016 Rodney Local Board Agreement to progress.
d) consider
that it is immaterial to progressing a business case that funds are not
available for construction of the Warkworth Swimming Pool in the current
2015-2025 Long-term Plan as the business case will be complete for
consideration of funding in the next long-term plan, which is reviewed prior
to 2017, and/or for partnership opportunities with private providers to be
progressed.
e) note
that population growth in the Warkworth area is significant and that
reasonably equitable services should be provided in line with other parts of
Auckland.
f) requests
that the Chief of Strategy, Auckland Council Chief Planning Office addresses the
current resourcing issues that are impeding the delivery of funded work in
the Rodney Local Board Agreement, specifically the Warkworth Swimming Pool
business case and exploration of potential partners to deliver the facility,
acknowledging that this may be through the use of external consultants.
g) request that the Research and Evaluation Unit (RIMU)
report to the local board specifically on present and future projected growth
throughout the Rodney Local Board area as soon as possible.
