10-Year Budget 2018-2028 - Adoption of the Draft Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Operational Plan 2018/2019 and summary
File No.: CP2017/25986
Purpose
1. To adopt the Draft Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority Operational Plan 2018/2019 and summary.
Executive summary
2. Legislation requires the Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority (Tūpuna Maunga Authority) and Auckland Council to annually agree an operational plan as part of the annual or long-term plan process. This requires the council to consult on a summary of the Draft Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Operational Plan (draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan). A joint meeting of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority and council has been scheduled in May 2018 to consider feedback relating to the draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan.
3. The Tūpuna Maunga Authority met on 16 October 2017 to approve the proposed budget for the 10-year budget for Long-term Plan 2018-2028. The Draft Tūpuna Maunga Operational Plan (Attachment A) and a summary of the draft plan (Attachment B) were also adopted by the Tūpuna Maunga Authority at that hui.
4. A summary of the draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan will be included in the supporting information that will be presented for adoption by the Governing Body on 7 February 2018.
5. The Tūpuna Maunga Authority will meet on 28 May 2018 to adopt the final plan before Governing Body on 27 June 2018, who is also required to adopt the plan.
That the Governing Body: a) adopt the Tūpuna Maunga Authority Draft Operational Plan 2018/2019. b) adopt the summary of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority Draft Operational Plan for consultation. |
Comments
Background
6. Auckland Council and the Tūpuna Maunga Authority must agree the Tūpuna Maunga Plan each year pursuant to section 60 of Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau Collective Redress Act 2014. A summary of the draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan must be included in the long-term plan consultation material.
Developing the draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan
7. Each year a Tūpuna Maunga Plan is developed to provide a framework in which the council will carry out its functions for the routine management of the tūpuna maunga and administered lands for that financial year under the direction of Tūpuna Maunga Authority. The Tūpuna Maunga Plan must be prepared and adopted concurrently with the council’s annual or long-term plan and must be included in summary form in the annual or long-term plan consultation documentation.
8. The Tūpuna Maunga Authority met on 16 October 2017 and adopted the proposed budget for the 10-year budget for Long-term Plan 2018-2028 along with the draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan and a summary of the draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan. Content relating to the draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan will be referred to in the Long-term Plan 2018-2028 consultation document and the summary of the draft Tūpuna Maunga plan will be in the supporting Information.
9. Two consultation streams will be undertaken during the consultation period. An event for Tūpuna Maunga Authority members to receive verbal feedback on the draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan will be held by the Tūpuna Maunga Authority in March 2018. For its part, council will receive submissions during the consultation period and holds various oral submissions events. The various consultation feedback to the Tūpuna Maunga Authority and the council are reviewed and reported to a joint workshop of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority and council in May 2018.
Next steps
10. Once adopted, the consultation document and supporting information for the 10-Year budget will be finalised and audited by Audit New Zealand. A recommendation to adopt the 10-Year budget consultation material will be presented at the Governing Body meeting on 7 February 2018 at Governing Body.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
11. The work of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority spans eight local board areas, but the adoption of the Draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan is a Governing Body decision under the Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau Collective Redress Act 2014, therefore the views of local boards have not been sought.
Māori impact statement
12. The Tūpuna Maunga Authority is a tangible expression of a Treaty-based partnership between Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau and Auckland Council. It is a vehicle through which the mana whenua worldview and historical, cultural and spiritual connections with the maunga will be given visibility and guide decision-making for the health and wellbeing of these important taonga.
13. A feedback event will be held by the Tūpuna Maunga Authority focusing on the draft Tūpuna Maunga Operational Plan (which may be attended by Tūpuna Maunga Authority members including councillors on the Tūpuna Maunga Authority).
Implementation
14. Decisions to adopt the draft Tūpuna Maunga Plan and summary are being sought earlier than the 10-Year Budget documentation to allow sufficient time to make any changes requested by Governing Body prior to adoption of the consultation document on 7 February 2018.
