Local board feedback on Government’s Urban Development Authorities Discussion Document

Resolution number FR/2017/62

MOVED by Chairperson A Fulljames, seconded by Member M Kay:

That the Franklin Local Board:

a) agrees that there could be high value in urban development agency models in other parts of New Zealand, outside of Auckland;

b) does not support the establishment of a government urban development agency in Auckland because:

i. there is already an enabling and proactive framework, including the Unitary Plan, Panuku Development Auckland, Development Project Office and Auckland Transport Alignment Project;

ii. the proposals will not overcome the lack of skilled construction workers and contractors, which is a key factor holding back the delivery of growth;

c) supports and believes there is scope for government to undertake complementary development activities and work alongside Panuku Development Auckland, for example in the wider use of existing urban development tools;

d) does not support the removal of planning powers from local government to an urban development agency as this would simply create another layer of bureaucracy and local government is better placed to undertake local planning.
