ITEM 23 ATTACHMENT A
Supporting information - local board priorities
Each year we plan the projects
and initiatives we will deliver in your local board area. These are based on
our 2017 Local Board Plan, which sets our three-year direction for the local
board. We are seeking your input on our proposals for the 2018/2019 financial
year.
3.1
Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board
Message from the Chair
We
recently finalised our three year local board plan in consultation with you. It
is my pleasure to present the priorities and proposals for 2018/2019. These
proposals are the first year of the new plan and progressing on past
achievements.
Good
public transport, local paths and safe cycle and pedestrian networks that
connect and make it easier to get around are a priority. We want to progress
projects in parks and playgrounds and will champion for the historic
Ōtāhuhu Portage route project with the potential to open the area for
recreation, walking and cycling in the future.
We
want to maximise the potential of existing local facilities through coordinated
programmes and shared use so that more families and young people use
them. Attracting tourism, employment opportunities for local people and
our youth is equally important.
You
have told us how much you value our natural environment and heritage –
and we will work with community groups, business and industry to improve the
quality of water in our streams and the Manukau Harbour.
Our
investments in and around Ōtāhuhu in recent years have led to many
improvements and delivery on projects to improve street connections will
continue.
We
want to see Māngere East precinct develop into a vibrant community hub
through longer term planning and investment. For this we are advocating for a
master plan to link existing community assets and address gaps.
See a summary of our draft proposals below.
We welcome your views and ideas to progress delivery.
What we propose in your
Local Board Area in 2018/2019
In 2018/2019 we plan to
invest $15.8 million to renew and develop assets in your local board area and
$21.5 million to maintain and operate these assets and provide other local
initiatives that you have said are important for our area.
· Promote waste reduction through existing
partnerships with Business Improvement Districts so town centres are clean and
attractive; monitoring delivery of maintenance contract outcomes and
supporting projects that influence behaviour change and build capacity through
education of industry and the community.
·
Implement
Boggust Park concept plan which will see new toilets, pathway and fitness
equipment in the park.
·
Continue
supporting active, healthy lifestyles and free access to swimming pools.
·
Continuing
to improve our local parks and playgrounds so they are safe, attractive and
well-used, such as the green areas near Māngere Bridge, Favona and Centre
Park
·
Promoting
local tourism opportunities and creating gateway to the city, by leveraging
local art, craft, culture and enterprise to promote Māori and Pasifika identity
and our rich natural environment. Examples include promoting local markets
increasing bilingual signage and historical narratives.
·
Supporting
and championing Ōtāhuhu Portage route (through development
contribution funding) being developed as an open space for leisure and recreation
to create open space for leisure and recreation.
Our key advocacy project
There
is growth and development taking place in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu and
now is the time to ensure coordinated planning links places and communities as
they grow. We are now advocating to the Governing Body to enhance and improve the
Māngere East precinct as a thriving community hub. We are asking for
joined up planning and investment that makes the street environment, shopping
area and community facilities safe, connected and accessible open areas.
You gave a strong support for the idea in
the local board plan and we are advocating to council to take this forward in
its 10-year budget, with detailed planning commencing in 2018/2019.
Some
of our other topics of advocacy are:
·
Investigate heavy rail (and
supports light rail link from city to the airport) as the preferred option as
the board wants current Auckland strategic long-term transport security for
both commuter and industrial heavy freight to be reconsidered.
·
In the absence of a Local Alcohol
Policy (currently a provisional policy is in operation with Appeals to the
Amended Provisional Local Alcohol Policy) the board continues all efforts to
support initiatives to minimise harm from alcohol. The board continues to
advocate for a framework to monitor the success of the Act in practice and
consideration of legislative change: Supporting community voice and
empowerment. The board are active participants through the district licensing
committee process, and are seeking a framework to monitor the success of
the Act in practice and consideration of legislative change.
What do you think?
The board is proposing to continue its
policy enabling adults to use the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu swimming pools
without charge through a local target rate, estimated to be $31.94 per household this year.
We would like your feedback on this policy to support social and public health
benefits for our communities.
Have
we got our priorities right?
Are
there any other priorities you would like us to consider?
