Resolution number DT/2017/153
MOVED by Member M Cohen,
seconded by Member M Sheehy:
That the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board:
a) notes
that the central Anzac Street carpark is integral to the Takapuna retail and
hospitality business district, and the current 270 carparks at the Anzac
Street site should be protected. This includes the potential to
increase to 400 short-to-medium carparks in a manner that ensures good
quality and usable public open space (as per the Devonport-Takapuna Local
Board Takapuna Centre Plan). On that basis, the local board:
i.
recommends to the Finance and Performance
Committee that the Takapuna off-street car park reserve fund be used towards
the construction of the Gasometer Public Carpark;
ii.
recommends that the reduction in
carparks resulting from the Hurstmere Road upgrade project be temporarily
reflected and accounted for at the proposed Gasometer site;
iii.
acknowledges the Takapuna Unlock and
Hurstmere Road upgrade projects will temporarily reduce car parking in the
area, and recommends both the Gasometer and Killarney projects provide short
and medium term car parking during construction, with the view of both
primarily all-day carparks after completion;
iv.
recommends that the proposed Gasometer
site will result in an increase in the number of carpark spaces in the
Takapuna metropolitan centre;
v.
recommends that a minimal number
of leased carparks be provided to ensure priority is given to short and
medium stays on the Gasometer site.
vi.
recommends that the number of leased
carparks be limited to ensure priority is given to short-to-medium term stays
in the Takapuna metropolitan centre, while the Hurstmere Road upgrade is
undertaken;
vii.
requests a workshop from Auckland
Transport and Panuku staff to discuss options to upgrade the footpaths and
connections on Northcroft and Huron Streets;
viii.
request a workshop from Auckland
Transport on the process and timeline to bring the Killarney Street carpark
back to being managed by Auckland Transport; and
ix.
notes that the budget to deliver the
carpark is proposed to be funded from the sale of the remaining land parcels
at the Gasometer site, or from the council’s Long-term Plan.
b) notes that the central carpark statutory consultation process is
planned for August 2017 and the board requests that it be consulted on prior
to the process being undertaken.
c) recommends that the following resolutions from the December 2000
Takapuna Community Board (TCB) meeting, tabled by Member J O’Connor be
included in the minutes:
“In order to
provide for a rise of long, medium and short term parking in the Takapuna CBD
the Community Board resolves:
i.
That a 500 carpark facility be built
immediately on a portion of the Gasometer site as a first stage towards
meeting parking demand in the CBD and surrounding areas;
ii.
That design drawings showing how this
could be achieved (and preliminary costs for such a facility) be presented to
a meeting of the TCB in February 2001;
iii.
That this matter be progressed with
urgency so that as a consequence appropriate steps can be taken to alleviate
all day parking problems in residential streets”.
