Resolution
number UH/2018/99
MOVED by Chairperson M Miles, seconded by Member J
McLean:
That the Upper
Harbour Local Board:
a)
support the transfer of streetscape services from Auckland
Transport and Waste Solutions to Community Facilities’ full facilities
suppliers as part of Project Streetscapes with the proviso that the contract
outcomes reflect local character, not one generic outcome across the region.
b) note
that the majority of the service specifications for the proposed 5 levels of
service (A, B, C, D and E) for Project Streetscapes remain prescriptive and
not outcome focused, due to budget constraints, and requests that the Governing
Body consider increasing the budget for Project Streetscapes so it aligns
with the outcomes based service levels of Project 17.
c) note
with concern that some of the assets being transferred from Auckland
Transport to Community Facilities’ Full Facilities suppliers may not be
in good condition or are not being serviced appropriately, and supports
Community Facilities working with Auckland Transport to upgrade these assets
prior to their transfer as part of Project Streetscapes.
d) recommend,
as a principle that applies to the whole local board area, that all:
i)
berms, roundabouts, traffic islands and other traffic
controlling mechanisms are maintained to the highest standard and on an
outcome basis
ii)
plantings, flowerbeds, planted swales and flora are
maintained on an outcome basis.
e)
recommend a consistent and integrated process and level of
service, that allows for maintenance to be undertaken on adjacent parcels of
land that are owned by different entities (e.g. land owned by Auckland
Council and the New Zealand Transport Agency that abut each other).
f)
recommend that the following assets be
given priority for town centre cleaning and loose litter collection:
i)
berms and arterial road mowing and maintenance
ii)
bins
iii)
lights
iv)
trees, flowerbeds and planted swales, including leaf fall
v)
bus shelters, cleaning and inspecting all loose litter pick up
of leaf fall, detritus, organic material and branches
vi)
sweeping hard surfaces and cleaning
vii)
steam cleaning of seating, footpaths, paved walkways, including
shared spaces and civic spaces
viii)
street furniture cleaning and minor maintenance
g)
request clarification from Community
Facilities on how community organisations or business associations can take a
community-led approach to berm and vegetation management.
h)
delegate authority to the chairperson and deputy
chairperson to identify the local board’s top 10 local issues with
Auckland Transport or Waste Solution streetscape services in the Upper
Harbour Local Board area.
i)
request that the Governing Body ensure that appropriate funding
is made available to prevent any drop in levels of service, due to the
increased streetscape service standards, should the current budget being
transferred from Auckland Transport to Community Facilities be
insufficient.
j)
request that the Greenhithe town centre be included in the
maintenance schedule, at a level B maintenance standard.
k)
note that the majority of the neighbourhood shopping amenities
within Upper Harbour are on private land.
