culture valued by all section.

in Kaipātiki a number of themes
have been coming through our local board planning and community engagement.
These include:
1.
A sun smart approach to playground
renewals and development, to include the natural shade from trees and the
inclusion of shade sails as a standard element in projects.
2.
The importance of clean waterways that
are suitable for recreation
3.
The management of storm and wastewater,
and the impact of sediment run-off on our streams and harbours.
4.
A sustainable approach to building
development, renewals and facilities management, such as encouraging the use
of solar power and energy efficient building methods.
5.
Ecological corridors that help with
biodiversity, carbon sequestration and human physical and mental health.
6.
An empowered communities model that
builds on stakeholder involvement. That communities are meaningfully
engaged in the development of town centre upgrades, the restoration of parks
and reserves and the renewal of sporting facilities.
7.
Enabling our community to take a
proactive role in the management of pest plants and pest animals in our
communities.
8.
expand the use of technology to engage
and inform our communities with a particular emphasis on the use of
smartphone apps which would allow people to report issues, receive
notifications and provide feedback on consulted issues.
viii.
Support a proactive approach to coastal
environment through coastal management plans.
ix.
the framework needs to be measurable,
and clearly articulate what can be achieved by Auckland Council, Local Boards
and the wider Council family, while also making it clear what we will
advocate to Central Government and to the wider community.
x.
the overall approach to engaged input
from all Governing Body Members and Local Board Chairs at the same time is
appreciated, and has been a worthwhile process in the early stages of the
framework development.
b)
note that the resolutions of this meeting will
be reported back to the Planning Committee when it meets to decide on
direction to inform the draft Auckland Plan on 1 August 2017.
c)

to provide feedback on the draft plan as council continues through the
refresh process during 2017.
