Review of Auckland Council’s
representation arrangements for the 2019 elections
|
|
|
Resolution
number WTK/2018/55
MOVED by Member N Henderson, seconded by Chairperson G
Presland:
That the Waitākere
Ranges Local Board:
a) endorse
the general approach to the review of Auckland Council’s representation
arrangements for the 2019 elections, which is to make changes on an
issue-by-issue basis and to not seek significant change.
b) endorse
the Joint Governance Working Party’s position on the following matters
with respect to the review of Auckland Council’s representation
arrangements for the 2019 elections:
i) that
all Governing Body members are to continue to be elected by ward as decided
by the Governing Body
ii) that
the current number of members in each ward is retained
iii) that
the Waitematā and Gulf ward non-complying variance
(population per member) should be addressed by reducing the size of the
isthmus part of the ward on both the east and the west of the ward as in
‘Option 1’, with the resulting changes for neighbouring wards as
set out in that option
iv) that the
Rodney ward non-complying variance (population per member) should be retained
on the basis that compliance would result in splitting communities of
interest or joining disparate communities of interest
v) that
the area alongside the Kaipara Harbour does not have a community of interest
with Warkworth, and that the Rodney Local Board is invited to provide
feedback on the alternative options for subdivision arrangements.
c) endorse
the following recommendations with respect to the review of Auckland
Council’s representation arrangements for the 2019 elections, noting
that they have yet to be considered by the Joint Governance Working Party:
i) that
the Botany subdivision non-complying variance (population per member) should
be addressed by moving the southern boundary of the Howick ward southwards
and that the Howick Local Board is invited to provide feedback on the two
alternative options
ii) that
the Manurewa-Papakura ward non-complying variance (population per member)
should be retained on the basis that compliance would result in splitting
communities of interest or joining disparate communities of interest
iii) that
the Waitematā Local Board consider whether subdivisions
within the board area are appropriate
iv) that the
Upper Harbour Local Board consider whether subdivisions within the Board area
are appropriate.
d) delegate
authority to the Chairperson to represent the board’s views on the
review of Auckland Council’s representation arrangements for the 2019
elections should the Joint Governance Working Party seek further engagement
with and/or feedback from the board prior to reporting to the Governing Body
with a proposal in July 2018, or during the consideration of submissions
following public notification.
