Resolution number UH/2017/140
MOVED
by Chairperson L Whyte, seconded by Member U Balouch:
That the Upper
Harbour Local Board:
a)
provide the following feedback in
relation to the Auckland Plan Refresh:
i.
agree with the purpose and intent of
the six outcome areas, as well as their respective focus areas;
ii.
support the framework as a tool to
complement the local board’s strategic outcomes, as detailed in the
Upper Harbour Local Board Plan;
iii.
Homes and Places, Focus Area HP_FA2 – propose that
immigration, and the subsequent impacts on the Auckland
region, be a key consideration of this focus area;
iv.
Homes and Places, Focus Area HP_FA4 – propose that
a ‘Warrant of Fitness’ should be required for
rental properties, to ensure a minimum quality standard of housing provision,
is achieved;
v.
Homes and Places – propose that
regional growth should be encouraged through the provision of housing
incentives outside of the Auckland region, to less well populated areas of New
Zealand;
vi.
Homes and Places – propose that central
and local government should gather detailed data, in addition to the census
data, utilising all agency resources (where legally appropriate) in
order to understand what is driving growth and to be able to
make informed decisions;
vii.
propose the inclusion of percentage of
Aucklanders who feel engaged and empowered by Auckland Council, as a measure
for the Belonging and Participation Outcome;
viii.
propose the inclusion of a measure to
assess the success of youth transitioning from university to work, with
particular focus on ethnic diversity, as a measure for the Opportunities and
Prosperity Outcome; and
ix.
note concern that infrastructure
development continues to have a focus on central Auckland, while new housing
developments are being built in outlying areas of the region. A fair and
proportionate level of infrastructure investment is required in other
metropolitan areas (e.g. Takapuna, Albany and Manukau), so the focus areas,
such as more access to local jobs, resilient economy and workforce, can be
achieved.
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.
