Resolution number HB/2017/117
MOVED
by Chairperson J Parfitt, seconded by Deputy Chairperson J Fitzgerald:
That the Hibiscus
and Bays Local Board:
a)
provides the following feedback on the
Auckland Plan Refresh 2018:
i.
supports the focus on the key
challenges identified within the Auckland Plan refresh particularly those
associated with growth
ii.
note that while the draft Unitary Plan seeks
to establish a compact city form for Auckland the final decision delivered by
the Unitary Plan Hearings Committee has led to urban sprawl across greenfields
areas
iii.
consider that to fund the social and
physical infrastructure required will lead to an immense funding gap and
challenge in the future for Auckland Council and Auckland residents
iv.
notes that essential physical and
social infrastructure will be required to meet population growth particularly
in the greenfields areas
v.
requests that more emphasis should be on
finding local employment solutions rather than expensive regional solutions
and supports more emphasis on local employment opportunities
vi.
considers that all buildings need to be
of good design, sustainable and integrate well with existing
infrastructure
vii.
requests that council investment needs
to be focussed on areas where high growth is planned or happening
viii.
supports relieving demand on
infrastructure by using other finance tools
ix.
recognises that many of the draft
Auckland Plan outcomes will need to be delivered by central government and
clarity on how this could be achieved is required
x.
supports the need to develop resilient,
thriving communities and considers that the draft Auckland Plan does not do
enough to explicitly support community-led outcomes by supporting the
development of vibrant local communities with a strong sense of community
b) notes that the local board’s resolutions will be reported
back to the Planning Committee when it meets on 1 August 2017 to decide on
direction to inform the draft Auckland Plan
c) notes that there will be further opportunities to provide feedback
on the draft plan as council continues through the Auckland Plan refresh
process during 2017.
