Resolution
number HB/2016/69
MOVED by Chairperson JG Parfitt, seconded by
Member LM Whyte:
That the
Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:
a)
agree key advocacy issues as follows:
Assets
i.
Urgently
request that the governing body prioritise funding for the implementation of
the Coastal Management Framework including implementation of the Orewa Beach
Esplanade Enhancement Plan, to address coastal asset degradation and urgent
works for the defined area from Kohu Street to Marine View, Orewa (Zones 3,
3A and 4).
ii.
Request
that the governing body prioritise the investigation of equitable Asset Based
Service operational funding for community houses, community, youth and arts
centres to confirm base level funding across Auckland and recognition of the
contribution that community owned assets make across the council’s network of
community facilities (e.g. Hibiscus Coast Youth Centre and Hibiscus Coast
Community House).
iii.
Acknowledge
the implementation of actions in the Community Facilities Network Plan for
existing assets and note that there is still a gap in the regional
information required for the assessment of the need and location of new
community facility assets as growth adds additional pressure on existing
assets.
Resourcing
and Levels of Service
iv.
Request
consideration of resourcing and support for local planning and transformation
projects, such as town centre development particularly the integration of
council controlled organisation activities in local centres where local
projects are funded and committed.
v.
Advocate
strongly to the governing body to address the reduction in levels of service
in parks that resulted in re-instatement of chemical spraying (instead of
mechanical edging) and an overall reduction in parks standards which has
resulted in significant community concern and complaint.
Transport
Plan
vi. Strongly request to the
governing body and Auckland Transport that Penlink be delivered earlier than
2025-2035 and given a higher priority in the Auckland Transport Plan to
alleviate significant congestion and increasing development constraints
affecting residents and businesses in Silverdale and the Whangaparaoa
Peninsula.
vii Request that the
realignment of the East Coast/Lonely Track/ Glenvar roads intersection to
address safety concerns be undertaken immediately following the construction
of Glenvar Ridge Road.
Contributions
Policy
viii. Support the increased
number of localised development contribution catchments to mitigate the
effects of growth as development occurs and requests that the governing body
continues to work towards further localised catchments as local growth needs
are identified such as the East Coast Bays subdivision to be a catchment in
its own right.
ix. Continue
to advocate strongly for reserve contributions being set at a level that more
closely relates to the cost of reserve acquisition and that increased
attention be made to partner with developers by way of development agreements
to deliver new assets (e.g. local playgrounds and parks facilities) to meet
the needs of growth in the local board area.
