Resolution number HB/2017/154
MOVED
by Chairperson J Parfitt, seconded by Member M Williamson:
That the Hibiscus
and Bays Local Board:
a) notes
the Auckland Transport Update to the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board for
September 2017.
b) approve
the allocation of $127,510 from the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board Transport
Capital Fund in addition to the $201,500 that Auckland Transport are
contributing to the project towards the upgrade of four crossings on Hibiscus
Coast Highway, Moana Avenue and Moenui Avenue as shown on the map dated 20
September 2017 and tabled at the meeting.
c) continues to express its concerns to the Governing Body regarding
the disposal of 19 Anzac Road, Browns Bay as it considers:
i. no justification for
the sale of 19 Anzac Road, Browns Bay has been provided by Auckland Transport
to confirm that the site is surplus to requirements and that there is no need
for the car parking that the site currently provides
ii. that the Auckland
Transport commissioned Car Parking Review Report clearly indicates that the
car parking area is required to meet the existing car parking capacity noting
that the Browns Bay central business district area already reaches and in
some instances exceeds, the 85% average occupancy standard set by
Auckland Transport
iii. that the Auckland Transport
commissioned Car Parking Review Report fails to address or provide any views
on the impacts of the removal of 58 car parking spaces (19 Anzac Road) or the
resultant loading (up to an extra 58 car parks) in the Browns Bay central
business district area, which if removed, would result in regularly exceeding
parking capacity levels
iv. that the Auckland Transport
commissioned Car Parking Review Report fails to address that:
A) a 31% reduction in
“off-street” car parks and a 7.5% reduction in the total public
parking availability would result from the sale of 19 Anzac Road
B) the remaining
“off-street” carparks would be at capacity on more occasions and
at peak times if the land was sold
C) an estimated 26 vehicles would be
added to the vehicles trying to find “on-street” parking at the
southern end of Browns Bay central business district area
v. the reduction in car
parking capacity spaces could have a significant negative impact on Browns
Bay economic performance, especially for businesses at the southern end of
the Browns Bay business area
vi. the “total car parking
capacity” of Browns Bay will be reduced from 791 to 733 as a result of
the potential disposal of 19 Anzac Road and this would result in a 30%
reduction in the overall total of on street/off street public car parks and
at peak times parking would be far worse than currently
vii. noting the new developments being
completed or being built currently in Browns Bay, and the resulting off
street car parking requirements under the Unitary Plan, will greatly increase
the pressure on public car parking spaces in the central business district
area.
d) requests that Auckland Council
does not dispose of the land at 19 Anzac Road, Browns Bay, as the land is an
essential part of the public off street car parking in the town centre.
e) requests that Panuku Development
Auckland undertake an assessment of the site for future development as
illustrated by the Browns Bay Centre Plan, September 2016.
f) request that Auckland
Transport investigate the possibility of swapping the motor bike park at
348 Hibiscus Coast Highway with the motor vehicle car park at 342 Hibiscus
Coast Highway.
