Local Government
New Zealand Conference
July 2016
Thank
you for the opportunity to attend this year's conference and represent the
Mangere-Otahuhu Local Board.
Conference
presentations are now online and can be browsed here: http://www.lgnz.co.nz/home/about-lgnz/lgnz-conference-2/presentations-conference-2016/
Valuable
outcomes from the conference included the opportunity to discuss Auckland
Council issues with a broad range of colleagues in an informal setting;
networking and discussing best practice with a range of people involved in or
interested in local government; a commitment from the Minister to address LGNZ
concerns over the draconian Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill, which in
its present form is a serious threat to democracy and local governance; and, of
course, the opportunity to hear some thoughtful presentations.
The
Conference was interesting also because of the ways it tried to use technology
and to encourage delegates to see how engagement, consultation and immediate
feedback could be gathered through technology and a dedicated app.
Given
our local board's commitment to community engagement and to making
Mangere-Otahuhu a place where everyone thrives, my top takeaways came from
- PWC Director Greg Doone's
Keynote: "Tomorrow's places: our communities in 2050";
- President of the ALGA and
Mayor of Joondalup, Perth Troy Pickard's keynote "An international
perspective on tomorrow's places" (Joondalup has a great reputation
as a loveable city);
- Author of For the Love of
Cities Peter Kageyama's session “Engaging our communities and telling our stories “ and his masterclass
“Customer centric services and innovative engagement – how community
leaders can be intentional about creating a more emotionally engaging place”.
Thinking
about the approaches to creating a liveable city, which were discussed, I
thought of three things we might consider to make a difference here :
1.
Developing more dog parks – these are a great tool for neighbourhood security
and community building; they activate sometimes unused areas of the community;
they encourage neighbourhood relationships and looking out for one another
since people gather for healthy exercise throughout the day and into the night;
and, in our case, they can offer opportunities for responsible dog owners to
model that to the other locals – since we have problems with roaming and
inadequately trained or cared-for dogs.
“Communities benefit from dog
owners. People walking their dogs contribute to traffic on our sidewalks, which
raises the perception of activity in a neighborhood. Dog walkers are the “eyes
on the street” that Jane Jacobs said provided for public safety. Dog parks are
often among the most used public amenities. The paradox here is that dogs in
cities make for a more human place. We walk more, we meet each other, we see
vital street level activity and we feel safer because of it. The pet friendly
city (however measured) is a lovable city as it makes for better living for
everyone.” (summary of issue in For the Love of Cities)
2.
Using technology to develop direct relationships with our young people -
Developing an app which our young people could use on their phones from an
early age to respond to questions from us, send questions to us, log issues
around the local board area and interact in ways that would ensure youth views
were taken into account in shaping our community. The Southern Initiative has
turned out to be interested in this and we will meet soon.
3. Writing “love notes” to
our people and our place area that are engaging and not necessarily expensive,
eg – one that has worked in rainy Seattle
would work in Auckland – using water resistant paint to make artworks or
positive public messages that only appear when it is raining – so hibiscus could
bloom on an old concrete wall in Mangere East when it rains or positive
messages appear on pavements.
Other
things that can make a place more loveable and more liveable include:
- Being Bike friendly and
pedestrian friendly – we are already making good strides in that
direction.
- Ritual & Traditions help
create a great place – if MO-Jam develops authentically, it could become
one of the great traditions of this area.
- “Arts and culture are what
make a city fall in love with itself” - look for projects and events that
are fun and engage people, make them proud to live here. “Love notes” that
engage residents emotions need not be expensive and often arise from just
looking at projects with different eyes.
