Key Issue /
Plan
|
Henderson-Massey Local Board Position
|
|
Natural
Environment - Water Quality Targeted Rate
|
Henderson-Massey Local
Board supports
the targeted rate option for water quality.
Notes that there is
significant regional support for an increase in funding to the Natural
Environment area.
|
|
Natural
Environment – Natural Environment Targeted Rate
|
Henderson-Massey Local
Board supports
option B of $47 per residential property and $219 per business property,
providing for ecosystem and species protection including addressing kauri
dieback disease.
Notes that there is
significant regional support for an increase in funding to the Natural
Environment area.
|
|
Rates and
Charges – proposed rates increase
|
Henderson-Massey Local
Board supports
the 2.5% rates increase conditional on the implementation of the regional
fuel tax. Without the fuel tax, the rate increase would need to be
substantially higher to meet Auckland’s needs.
The board note that
although targeted rates may provide clarity towards the ratepayer with
regards to how the rates are being spent it may be difficult for the public
to appreciate the cumulative impact of rates increases given the number of
targeted rates proposed in this Long-term Plan.
|
|
Rates and
Charges –Accommodation provider Targeted Rate for online
accommodation providers
|
Henderson-Massey Local
Board supports
the implementation of accommodation provider target rate for online
accommodation providers.
Noting that it may be
difficult to identify individual providers and may contribute to avoidance
behaviours for property owners who do not intend to operate in a fully
commercial capacity.

f) provides feedback on the draft Auckland Plan 2050.

Auckland Plan 2050
|
|
General
comments
|
Henderson-Massey Local
Board notes that the local board has previously provided feedback to
support drafting of the Auckland Plan 2050.
Notes that the outcomes
and objectives in the Henderson-Massey Local Board plan strongly align to
the Auckland Plan outcomes, particularly ‘Belonging and
participation’.
The board is supportive
of the intent of the outcomes overall, with some specific comments below:
|
|
Outcome
area 1: Belonging and participation
|
Commentary is missing on
the specific contribution of arts and culture.
These activities should
be specifically referenced in the Auckland Plan as they play a substantial
role in connecting communities and contributing to the overall health and
wellbeing of societies.
|
|
Outcome
area 2: Māori identity and wellbeing
|
The special relationship
with Maori as tangata whenua should be recognised throughout the Auckland
Plan.
There does not seem to be
any recognition of the difference between mana whenua and mataawaka in the
Auckland Plan. Suggests this be included.
|
|
Outcome
area 3: Homes and places
|
Pleased to see that the
built quality of existing dwellings, including rentals, will be improved
and that the investment and support for Maori is a specific focus area.
Commentary is missing on
the role of sport and how that will be affected by the pressures of a
growing city. Providing space for sport in the public realm will be an
ongoing challenge and local sports groups in the Henderson-Massey area have
indicated concern about this lack in the Auckland Plan
|
|
Outcome
area 4: Transport and access
|
There is strong alignment
in the Henderson-Massey Local Board plan with this outcome area.
The significant growth
challenges in the Northwest mean that a focus on integrated transport
solutions is vital.
The board is pleased that
the importance of environmental protection and reducing greenhouse gas
emissions is highlighted.
|
|
Outcome
area 5: Environment and cultural heritage
|
Support
|
|
Outcome
area 6: Opportunity and prosperity
|
Notes that local boards
have limited means to directly influence local economic prosperity and a
strong future focused approach in this outcome is welcomed.
