c)          approve its advocacy initiatives, including its key advocacy project, for inclusion (as an appendix) to its 2018/2019 Local Board Agreement, as per the tabled documents, with the following amendments:

i.    replace the text for the advocacy item “Kauri die-back prevention in Kaipātiki” to:

1.    Protection of green spaces is a key focus for our community. Kauri dieback is of immediate concern due to the significant numbers of Kauri trees in our local reserves, and in light of the recent discovery of a Kauri tree showing signs of the disease. The Kaipātiki Local Board area has a high proportion of bush areas containing kauri trees that currently receive minimal protection from dieback. For example, more than 75 bush entrances will require in-ground cleaning stations, and significant investment in track upgrades will be required to protect our Kauri.

The Kaipātiki Local Board advocates that the Kaipātiki Local Board area be included as a regionally important area of focused investment to protect our Kauri.

                       iii.         Include the words “and the community” to the second bullet point of appendix 1

                       iv.         Include the further bullet point to appendix 1:

1.    Requests the role of the local board is clarified, specifically decision-making responsibilities for projects in our area.

1.    The Kaipatiki Local Board supports Auckland Transport’s prioritisation for public transport in our local board plan but submit that the Auckland Plan expand outcome 4 to include travelling regionally including for recreation and health.
