2006 - 2015 Urban Forest Canopy Changes in
the Waitematā Local Board area
|
|
|
Resolution
number WTM/2018/110
MOVED by Member DR Roche, seconded by Chairperson P Coom:
That the Waitematā
Local Board:
a)
receive the draft ‘Tree loss in the Waitematā Local
Board over ten years (2006 – 2015)’ report as the final report
subject to minor amendments by officers, funded as part of the Waitematā
Local Board’s 2017/2018 urban forest framework project
b)
note the amount of tree loss in the Waitemata Local Board area
2006-2015 is 61.23 hectares (approximately 17 per cent) and that 65 per cent
of the urban forest clearance has occurred on private land. This does not
include the growth of new canopy. Analysis work is underway and will be
the subject of a subsequent report.
c)
consider that a significant part of the tree loss has been
caused by the removal by central government of Council’s general tree
protection rules and urges the Governing Body to advocate to government to
change the law to enable Auckland Council to reintroduce general tree
protection rules.

Project Streetscapes

Resolution number WTM/2018/112
MOVED by Chairperson P Coom, seconded by Member R Northey:
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 five 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 before they are transferred as part of
Project Streetscapes

request that non-chemical spraying for weed management be used
where possible

Community Facilities work with the Solid Waste team to implement an effective
campaign to encourage the use of public litter bins for cigarette butt
