Horopaki / Context
6. Local
board plans are strategic documents that are developed every three years to set
a direction for local boards. Local board plans influence and inform the
10-year Budget 2018-2028 (and associated local board agreements) which outlines
priorities, budgets and intended levels of service over a 10-year period and
for each financial year, Auckland Council must have a local board agreement
between the Governing Body and the local board, for each local board area.
7. Local
board nominees have had the opportunity to attend Finance and Performance
Committee workshops on key topics and provide local board views on the 10-year
Budget 2018-2028.
8. From
28 February to 28 March 2018, Council consulted with the public on the 10-year
Budget 2018-2028. Two locally held events were held in the Waitākere
Ranges Local Board area to engage with the community and seek feedback on both
regional and local proposals.
9. A
report analysing the feedback on local board priorities, as well as feedback
from those living in the local board area related to the regional issues, was
included as an attachment on the 10 May 2018 business meeting agenda.
10. Local boards
considered this feedback, and then held discussions with the Finance and
Performance Committee on 16 and 17 May 2018 on regional issues, community
feedback and key local board initiatives and advocacy areas.
Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice
11. Both staff
and the local board have reviewed the feedback received on 10-year Budget
2018-2028 and local boards have received a report analysing the feedback. It is
now recommended that local boards adopt local content for the 10-year Budget
2018-2028 (Attachment A), including the Local Board Agreement 2018/2019, and a
local fees and charges schedule for 2018/2019 (Attachment B).
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te
poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views
12. This report
seeks local board adoption of its content for the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 and
other associated material, including the Local Board Agreement 2018/2019.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact
statement
13. Many local board decisions are of importance to and impact on Māori. Local board agreements and the
10-year Budget are important tools that enable and can demonstrate
council’s responsiveness to Māori.
14. Local board plans, which were developed in 2017 through engagement
with the community including Māori, form the basis of local priorities. There is a need to continue to build relationships between local boards
and iwi, and where relevant the wider Māori community.
15. Of those who submitted to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 from the Waitākere Ranges Local Board area 55
identified as Māori. These
submissions were provided to the local board for consideration when finalising
their local board agreement.
16. Ongoing conversations will assist local boards and Māori to
understand each other’s priorities and issues. This in turn can influence
and encourage Māori participation in council’s decision-making
processes.
Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications
17. The local board agreement includes the allocation of locally driven initiatives (LDI) funding
and asset based services (ABS) funding to projects and services for the
2018/2019 financial year.
18. Funding for
locally driven initiatives (LDI) is discretionary funding local boards can
spend on local priorities that are important to their communities.
19. Funding for
asset based services (ABS) is required to run and maintain our local assets
including parks, pools and recreation facilities, community facilities, and
libraries.
20. A local fees and charges schedule for 2018/2019 is adopted alongside
of the Local Board Agreement 2018/2019.
Ngā raru tūpono / Risks
21. Decisions on
the local content of the 10-year Budget 2018-2028, including the Local Board
Agreement 2018/2019 and a local fees and charges schedule for 2018/2019,
are required by 7 June 2018 to ensure the Governing Body can adopt the 10-year
Budget 2018-2028 at its 28 June 2018 meeting.
Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps
22. The resolutions of this
meeting will be reported to the Governing Body on 28 June 2018 when it meets to
adopt the 10-year Budget 2018-2028, including 21 local board agreements.
23. It is possible that minor changes may need to be made to the
attachments before the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 is adopted, such as correction of any errors identified and minor
wording changes. Staff therefore recommend that the local board delegates
authority to the Chair to make final changes if necessary.
24. Local board agreements set the priorities and budget envelopes for
each financial year. Work programmes then detail the activities that will be
delivered within those budget envelopes. Work programmes will be agreed between
local boards and operational departments at business meetings in June 2018.

Horopaki / Context
6. In
the 2016/2017 local board agreement. the local board signalled its intent to
put a stronger focus on the marine and coastal environment through a coastal
and marine information project.
7. At the time, the 2014 local board plan identified the Manukau Harbour
as a significant cultural, ecological and economic asset, [which] through
integrated management has a rich and diverse marine and terrestrial environment
that is able to be enjoyed by all (Manukau Harbour Forum Vision and
Strategy). The plan noted that ‘native biodiversity flourishes in
our forests, coasts, streams and marine areas’. It specifically
identified the need to improve the water quality in our west coast and Manukau
Harbour lagoons, as well as the particular threat to the Maui’s Dolphin population
– the world’s rarest.
8. In 2018, the Big Blue Wāitakere Report supports Outcome
2 of the 2017 local board plan – ‘Our unique natural habitats are
protected and enhanced’. This contains an objective that ‘Our
marine and coastal environments are protected’ under which there are
three specific initiatives, which are to:
a) help
residents and landowners act to improve water quality in coastal lagoons and
harbours,
b) support
community efforts to protect marine and coastal environments, and
c) work
with communities to protect vulnerable marine animals and plants.
9. The Big Blue Wāitakere Report:
a) Identifies
and consolidates existing data, information and conclusions currently available
for the local board area;
b) Identifies
gaps in the current understanding and knowledge of the area;
c) Identifies
potential management objectives and actions to address the known issues
d) Identifies
stakeholder projects and involvement being undertaken which aim to improve
environmental conditions.
10. It is intended as resource that aims to inform future local
engagement between communities and the wider Auckland Council, while
recognising that actions may extend beyond the remit and capability of single
groups or governance organisations and local, regional, and national levels.
The local board may use to inform directions, priorities and projects in
support of current and future local r objectives, and local communities may
wish to use to use it to inform and support their own objectives and work in
this area.
11. The Big Blue Wāitakere Report (Appendix A) is attached
Under Separate Cover.
12. A community hui will be held at 6.30pm on 20 June 2018 Glen Eden
