Auckland Plan Refresh - Local Board Engagement

 

Resolution number PPK/2017/214

MOVED by Deputy Chairperson F Auva'a, seconded by Member MV Turner:  

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      provide the following feedback on the six outcome areas and the Development Strategy as follows:

 

i)          Belonging and Participation Outcome

 

§  Strategic directions:

·         BP_SD1 – supported. Uphold the value of free open space for local communities.

·         BP_SD2 – supported.

 

§  Focus areas: 

·         BP_FA1 – supported.

·         BP_FA2 - another bullet point required, to provide facilities and open space that encourage people to be active. 

·         BP_FA3 – supported.

·         BP_FA4 – supported.

·         BP_FA5 – supported.

·         BP_FA6 – supported.  It is imperative to retain the Southern Initiative in the Auckland Plan.

 

·         Measures

·         80% of people should feel connected to the community.

·         80% of people who are part of social networks and groups.

·         Members disagreed with the measure of 30 minutes moderate activity in the last 7 days. The goal should be to have an average of 30 minutes of moderate activity a day. What does this measure relate to, is it an individual goal or facility usage?

·         The board suggests rewording the:

-       At least 30 minutes of moderate activity in the last 7 days” measure, eg:  percentage of population engaged in 30 minutes of moderate activity in the last 7 days. 

This measure is surveying people to determine how physically active they are.  Another bullet point is needed to strengthen the BF_FA2 column, ie: to provide facilities and open space that encourage people to be active.

·         Perception of safety when walking along in your neighbourhood after dark.”  The board feels the perception of safety is broader than “walking alone in your neighbourhood” and it is not just after dark.  The measure is too specific.  The measure should be based on the perception of safety survey undertaken by council of which the perception of safety when walking in your neighbourhood after dark is one of the many questions asked to gauge how people perceive safety in their area. 

 

·         Development Strategy

·         The development strategy should also have an additional bullet point with the theme of providing facilities and open space that encourage people to be active.

 

ii)         Maori Identity and Wellbeing Outcome

Members strongly felt that more work was required on the protection of historical sites and mana whenua sites that exist in Papakura. Pahurehure Inlet Protection Society for instance has put in all the Māori historical sites when the group submitted their plan.

§  Strategic directions:

·         MIW_SD1 – supported.

·         MIW_SD2 – supported.

·         MIW_SD3 – supported

·         MIW_SD4 – supported.

 

§  Focus areas: 

·         MIW_FA1 – supported.

·         MIW_FA2 – supported.

·         MIW_FA3 – supported.

·         MIW_FA4 – supported.

·         MIW_FA5 – supported.

·         MIW_FA6 – supported.

·         MIW_FA7 – supported.

·         Measures

·         In the last bullet point add the word “identified” after the words “No further loss of …..”.

The board suggests adding the following measures:

·         Percentage of Māori employed in public led development projects

·         Percentage of apprenticeships offered to Māori in the required skill areas and seen through to full qualification in public led development projects.

 

·         Development Strategy

·         Supported.

·         EC_FA2 – supported, add “including biodiversity threats” to the last bullet point

·         EC_FA3 – supported.

·         EC_FA4 – supported.

EC_FA5 – supported. The board would like to see the improvement of the Manukau Harbour water quality as a focus area.

 

·         Measures

·         A measure to be included around addressing the demand on infrastructure caused by growth and natural causes (eg: natural springs).

·         Need a plan to protect the Manukau Harbour from unwanted pests (eg: pacific oysters and mangroves).

·         Add a measure around the percentage of alternative or innovative stormwater treatment projects

·         A measure focused on sustainability may be required to align with EC_FA1.

·         Add a measure that regularly monitors the Manukau Harbour Water quality.

·         A measure to be included to measure the impact of climate change over time.

 

·         Development Strategy

·         Will the general public understand what is meant by the terminology “green” and “blue” environments.  The Auckland Plan is a document that everyone will need to easily understand. 

·         An input relating to environmental sustainability should be added.

iv)       Homes and Places Outcome

The Auckland Design Manual should be referenced in this area.

§  Strategic directions:

·         HP_SD1 – supported, also include a bullet point that:

-       Promotes sustainability and encourage the construction of green eco-friendly buildings.

·         HP_SD2 – supported.

·         HP_SD3 – supported.

·         HP_SD4 – supported, also promote vertical green spaces as they contribute to people’s well-being and air quality.

§  Focus areas: 

·         HP_FA1 – supported.  Add a bullet point about ensuring roading infrastructure in developments allows for kerbside parking on both sides of the road so that emergency vehicles and future public transport vehicles have access.

·         HP_FA2 – supported.

·         HP_FA3 – supported.

·         HP_FA4 – supported.

·         HP_FA5 – supported.

·         HP_FA6 – supported.

·         HP_FA7 – supported.

·         Measures

·         OP_FA1 – supported.

·         OP_FA2 – supported.

·         OP_FA3 – supported.

·         OP_FA4 – supported.

·         OP_FA5 – supported.

·         Measures

·         The measure “median wage of Māori and the Auckland median wage” may need some clarification.  What is being measured the median wage of Māori against the Auckland median wage or the median wage of all Aucklanders of which Māori is a part of?  How does this equate to the living wage?

·         Add a measure comparing the median wage with the living wage.

·         A measure to be added around pay equality.

 

·         Development Strategy

·         Supported.

vii)      Development Strategy

Provide a definition of what a “metropolitan town centre” is.  People do not know what is meant by a metropolitan area.

 

Provide mechanisms that allow for council to guide the development of identified metropolitan town centres, ie:  council purchasing property, and finding the partners that will develop the sites in line with the vision.  Minimise the potential of market forces driving ad hoc development.  Provide the leadership and financial support that will ensure a quality outcome for the development of the metropolitan area and how that relates to development and growth in the nearby area.  Growth is happening very fast.  We must ensure proactive mechanisms that allow for proactive co-ordinated development of a metropolitan area.

 

b)         note that the resolutions of this meeting will be reported back to the Planning Committee for consideration in the drafting of the refreshed Auckland Plan.
