Item 4 Feedback

Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Feedback on the 10 Year Budget 2018 – 2028

Transport Regional Fuel Tax (RFT)	· Generally, support RFT in accordance with community feedback · Public transport to be accessible and affordable through an equitable sharing of the costs between public transport users, ratepayers and road users, as current levels are impacting lower income families · Deliver Route 32 and integrate with local projects o One Local Initiative – Mangere East precinct o Otahuhu Portage project o Light rail Mangere town centre rapid transit rail to airport, and o Complete local projects to a high quality · Deliver more safety programmes, streetscape upgrades, and safer active modes of transport · Fix local congestion.
Environment Initiatives  Water Quality	· Generally support In terms of the level of the rate, affordability is a challenge for this community and the local board asks the Governing Body to take this into account. The local area has its own targeted rate to enable adult swimming pool entry, and additional target rates that mostly benefit other areas are seen as unfair and will burden local rate payers disproportionately. · Support target rate
Rates and charges	· Support proposal for average general rates increases · It is expected that this will deliver an increase in quality and service levels.
Accommodation	· Support proposal

Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Feedback on the draft Auckland Plan

The board supports the six outcomes and development strategy in the Auckland Plan refresh, and notes the close alignment of the six outcomes to the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Plan 2017.

· The board supports use of the 33 measures that track progress against outcomes areas.

· The board supports addressing local concerns, such as employment, accommodation conditions, affordability, public transport and improved community facilities and spaces.

· The board considers that addressing social and economic wellbeing is key to achieve the Auckland Plan.

· The board area has the most youthful population in Auckland and supports actions to create choices that are sustainable for the future generation.

Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Feedback on the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2018

· The local board generally supports the plan

Consultation:

· Not enough time to consider draft document and engage with community

· Confusing as too many plans being consulted on at the same time

· Better engagement with groups and organisations where communities gather in large numbers – Marae and places of worship.

 Local issues that the plan needs to address:

· Support people with large families, and on lower incomes, to meet targets

· A staged approach that considers the diversity of needs across the city

· Resolve illegal dumping

· Increase accountability by industries, business associations, and community groups –to play their part in changing practices and behaviours

· Distribute regional resources to local boards for implementing innovative local ideas e.g. a southern community recycling centre

· Improve the new inorganic collection system, it needs a re-think.
