Resolution number DT/2017/17
MOVED
by Chairperson G Gillon, seconded by Member J O'Connor:
That the Devonport-Takapuna
Local Board:
b) expresses
concern at the delays in progressing a lease for a campground / holiday park activity
on the northern end at Takapuna Beach Reserve.
c) approves
Panuku Development Auckland to develop an expression of interest (EOI)
process for a lease to a successful operator for an agreed campground /
holiday park activity located on the northern end of Takapuna Beach Reserve
in line with the ‘external’ lease model as outlined in the agenda
report, and does not support further investigation and advice regarding the
‘in-house’ model as described in the agenda report.
d) requests,
in line with resolution c) above, that the following matters are considered
as part of the lease / expression of interest process:
i)
that 80% of respondents who completed the 2015 poll regarding
four potential land uses for the northern part of Takapuna Beach Reserve
clearly supported an upgraded beach holiday park, and that the message
supporting the option chosen was for ‘upgraded’ not
‘upmarket’ in order that the beach holiday park remains
accessible to people irrespective of their family incomes; and
ii)
that the clear message emanating from the 2015 poll indicates
that supporters of retention of an upgraded holiday park did so because of
the amenity value to all people, New Zealanders and tourists alike, not
because it produced income for Auckland Council or as a means to reduce
rates.
e) only
supports the future operation of a beach holiday park (on the current leased
area of the current tenant) if it is consistent with the result and guidance
of the poll undertaken in 2015, namely in that it is accessible and seen as
amenity, not as an income producing asset.
f) requests
relevant council staff progress with public notification of intent to grant a
lease on the northern end of Takapuna Beach Reserve for a campground /
holiday park activity in accordance with the requirements of the Reserves Act
1977 under the following terms:
i)
proposed lease term of an initial 20 years,
with a further one 10 year right of renewal;
ii)
the proposed campground / holiday park activity lease area on
offer be the same as the current Takapuna Beach Holiday Park leased area at
the northern end of Takapuna Beach Reserve; and
iii)
assuming successful navigation of the public notification of
the lease under the Reserves Act 1977, the local board requests Panuku
Development Auckland conduct an expression of interest / tender process for
the lease in accordance with the intent or resolution c) above.
g)
strongly requests Panuku Development Auckland and relevant
council staff conclude the process outlined in resolution f) above within 12
months.
h)

Beach Reserve” to Chairperson Grant Gillon.
