Feedback on the Tākaro – Investing in Play discussion document

Resolution number FR/2017/114

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

That the Franklin Local Board provides the following feedback on the Tākaro – Investing in Play discussion document:

a) Provision for adults and seniors needs to be enhanced, as the current emphasis appears to be on people under eight years of age;

b) Using a formula based approach to the number and location of play areas tends to lead to a proliferation of small ‘pocket’ parks that cannot be more widely enjoyed by other sectors of the community, whereas fewer but larger areas would be more adaptable and meet the needs of the different Franklin communities;

c) Consideration should be given to theming areas for play to reflect the surrounding environment and add local distinctiveness, such as coastal play areas designed with a nautical feel;

d) Shade provision, either natural or artificial, in play areas is very important for health reasons and should be a priority;

e) Activity areas and equipment should be located along local paths and trails wherever possible, so that they become destinations and not merely routes between areas;

f) Place-shaping should be a key driver when planning for play and new play areas should be designed in collaboration with local communities;

g) Digital media should be used more creatively, in order to challenge and engage children to explore their environment in new ways.

CARRIED

Feedback on the proposed direction of the Auckland Regional Pest Management Plan

Resolution number FR/2017/115

MOVED by Member A Cole, seconded by Member N Kloeten:

That the Franklin Local Board endorses the proposed approach set out in Attachment C to the report entitled “Feedback on the proposed direction of the Auckland Regional Pest Management Plan” and provides the following additional feedback:

a) There is a need to manage unowned cats and encourage responsible cat ownership, alongside better public awareness raising about the impacts of cats on indigenous species;

b) The council should lead by example and prioritise pest management on publicly owned reserves and parks;

c) The role of voluntary groups and Landcare groups is vital to ensuring good ongoing pest management and should be integral to the development of specific regional and local pest management programmes.

d) The cost benefit analysis of compliance officers needs to factor in the community good of the compliance role in relation to the enforcement of good pest management practices.

CARRIED
