Resolution
number UHCF/2018/15
MOVED by Member N Mayne, seconded by Member U Balouch:
That the Upper
Harbour Local Board Community Forum:
a) receive the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 and
draft Auckland Plan 2050 consultation feedback report.
b) note
that redacted submissions will be made available on the Auckland Council
website in May, and that until then, the submissions are available on request
by emailing akhaveyoursay@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz:
i. submissions on the Upper Harbour
Local Board priorities
ii. submissions
on regional proposals in the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 and draft Auckland Plan
2050 from people or organisations based in the Upper Harbour Local Board
area.
c) approve
its advocacy initiatives, including its key advocacy project, a Sub-regional
Multi-use Multi-sport Indoor Facility within the Upper Harbour area, for
inclusion (as an appendix) to its 2018/2019 Local Board Agreement, as set in
Attachment A to the agenda report.
d) provide
the following feedback on the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 after considering the
feedback received on the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 from the Upper Harbour
community:
i.
Question 1 (Transport): the board notes
that at the time this issue was consulted on, Government’s own proposed
fuel tax was not public knowledge. The board has no confidence that the
feedback received to council’s proposal would remain the same had
consultation occurred after Government’s proposal was released
ii.
Question 2 (Natural environment water
rate): the board supports this outcome, but believes that further
consideration of re-prioritisation of council’s wider budgets should be
undertaken to avoid the need for a targeted rate
iii.
Question 3 (Natural environment,
options A and B): the board supports this outcome, but believes that further
consideration of re-prioritisation of council’s wider budgets should be
undertaken to avoid the need for a targeted rate, and that a stronger
partnership approach with central Government should be taken
iv.
Question 4 (Rates and charges): the
board has no comment on this issue
v.
Question 5 (Rates and charges, Air
BnB): the board has no comment on this issue.
e) provide the following feedback on the draft Waste
Management and Minimisation Plan 2018 after considering the feedback received
from the Upper Harbour community:
i.
Question 1 (relative importance of
outcomes): value for money comes through as an important factor for our
community
ii.
Question 2 (expansion of focus to the
entire waste stream): the Upper Harbour community view aligns closely with
the wider regional view, and the board requests that further consideration be
given to the needs of apartment dwellers and their reduced ability to store
multiple rubbish bins
iii.
Question 3 (new approaches with
business waste): support new approaches given the recent success of the pilot
programme run in Upper Harbour
iv.
Question 4 (community recycling
centres): the board supports this approach and re-iterates its previous
resolution number UH/2018/16, that the Upper Harbour Local Board area be considered as a
location for one of the proposed new recycling centres
v.
Question 5 (product stewardship): the
board supports this approach
f) provide
the following feedback in support of the overall intent and scope of the draft
Council-controlled Organisations Accountability Policy, subject to the
following amendments and considerations:
i.
endorse the requirement that all parts
of council act in the interest of Auckland and supports the expectation that
the council-controlled organisations and council, including local boards,
should have trust and confidence in each other and avoid actions that are
perceived to undermine either party in public
ii.
support a clear statement of the obligation
on council-controlled organisations to consult with local boards in the
Accountability Policy and ensure that in any decision making or inputs by
local boards is clearly defined and sufficient time is given for genuine
engagement with local boards
iii.
support council-controlled organisations
developing examples and clear methodologies that exhibit and deliver
“best practice” in working with local boards and provides clear
accountability in practice
iv.
seek clear statements in the Policy in
section 1.1.3 to require that council-controlled organisations must take
account of and be cognisant of Local Board plans, and where relevant Area
Plans, to ensure that key local board priorities and projects are supported
and integrated
v.
acknowledge and support the expectation
in section 1.1.4 to Improve Outcomes for Māori ensuring that both mana whenua and mataawaka are part of the
overall approach and essential to our relationship with Māori across the whole council
vi.
endorse section 1.1.7 Understanding and
Giving Effect to Auckland’s Shared Governance, and the recognition and
acknowledgement of local boards as an integral part of the shared governance
of Auckland Council
vii.
request that council-controlled organisations
adopt a good employer standard that mirrors that of Auckland Council.
