Input to the Review of Citizens Advice Bureaux services

Resolution number MO/2017/219

MOVED by Chairperson L Sosene, seconded by Member C Elliott:

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a) receive the Review of Citizens Advice Bureaux services report.

b) support in principle the officer recommendation Option 3: Regional service provision/Collective review of funding levels and number and location of service sites.

c) request committee to consider its August 2017 input to the Review of Citizens Advice Bureaux services (Resolution number MO/2017/153) specifically comments under Equity and Fairness.

i. The current funding model is not effective. The model should include the area’s demographics and weigh deprivation high as a criterion. Under the Local Board Funding policy, funding for local activities is allocated to board based on – Population 90%, deprivation 5% and land area 5%. This formula can be adapted to include deprivation as a factor, and not population alone.

ii. That the board prefers sustainable funding models and for services offered by Māngere CAB to be fully funded under the ACABx – council funding arrangement.

iii. The board request that deprivation is given more weight as a criterion when allocating funds to CABs in the region. The current funding model fails to reflect the diverse needs and low socio-economic factors in the local area when compared to other communities across the Auckland region.

iv. The following criteria should be included:

a. Transport provision – include public transport

b. affordability – home ownership

c. NZ index decile rating

d. Negative health indicators i.e. obesity rates

e. Online and communication accessibility

f. Volunteers that can communicate in more than one language

g. Housing NZ development in the local area

v. Growth and development

· Housing NZ development is increasing in the local area. A need for social, community services, efficient and affordable public services for a growing low income and beneficiary reliant population is required.

· The Otahuhu-Middlemore Spatial priority area has led to investment for development of major transport hub in Otahuhu and town centre improvements. And predictions are that there is significant residential growth now and in the years ahead.

· The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu area is also where people transit through – airport, and a high rental community.

d) note that clear information that funding support for budget services to CABs that were stopped were from the Ministry of Social Development and not ACAB.

CARRIED

Feedback on draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan

Resolution number MO/2017/220

MOVED by Chairperson L Sosene, seconded by Member T Lauese:

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a) are in full support of the proposed direction of the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan and provide the following comments:

1. The board supports option two to continue full implementation of the 2012 plan and focus on priority waste streams that council does not directly influence.

· Notes that this can be delivered within the current funding envelope, prioritising resources.

· Request officers to include the local boards to provide local perspective to further progress this plan.

2. That planning and regional funding be allocated for the southern recycling centres with a priority for delivery. The impact of the waste management and minimisation plan on families with low income, lower levels of employment, homelessness and larger families leads is far more challenging compared to others.

3. That there is regular monitoring, spot checks of practices in waste segregation to gauge results.

4. Local communities in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu are still very new to red-bin roll out and changes in waste management and minimisation must be carried out in a staged, step by step approach and not rushed into by setting unreasonable targets.

5. That the preferred approach is to build competency in communities through education and understanding as it can lead to a lasting impact and avoid resistance from communities.

6. That the plan needs to take into account cultural and ethnic diversity in the local board area. Maraes, faith based organisations and groups and places of worship, e.g. Churches/ mosques/ temples are locations where there are large gatherings and proactive collaboration with such institutions must be planned from the start.

7. The board supports the idea of a collaborative approach with all parts of the community – industries, business associations, organisations and community groups playing their part and taking responsibility to address all sides of waste minimisation.
Business Improvement Districts must play their part in influencing behaviours of retailers to minimise and manage waste.

8. The board is in strong support for ideas around community brokering and asks that regional resources be devolved to local board to implement and support innovative local ideas.

9. That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board recommends that “zero tolerance to plastic” be adopted as a goal in the long run.

10. That in the next phase of the plan Auckland Council dialogue and engage with central government on policy issues on how to meet local targets and to advocate for higher waste levies at source (industry, commercial enterprise, construction, etc).

CARRIED
