3 Declaration of Interest

Members are reminded of the need to be vigilant to stand aside from decision making when a conflict arises between their role as a member and any private or other external interest they might have.

The Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members (the Code) requires elected members to fully acquaint themselves with, and strictly adhere to, the provisions of Auckland Council’s Conflicts of Interest Policy. The policy covers two classes of conflict of interest:

i. A financial conflict of interest, which is one where a decision or act of the local board could reasonably give rise to an expectation of financial gain or loss to an elected member; and

ii. A non-financial conflict of interest, which does not have a direct personal financial component. It may arise, for example, from a personal relationship, or involvement with a non-profit organisation, or from conduct that indicates prejudice or predetermination.

The Office of the Auditor General has produced guidelines to help elected members understand the requirements of the Local Authority (Member’s Interest) Act 1968. The guidelines discuss both types of conflicts in more detail, and provide elected members with practical examples and advice around when they may (or may not) have a conflict of interest.

Copies of both the Auckland Council Code of Conduct for Elected Members and the Office of the Auditor General guidelines are available for inspection by members upon request.

Any questions relating to the Code or the guidelines may be directed to the Relationship Manager in the first instance.

Natural environment targeted rate feedback on potential new community-led conservation projects

File No.: CP2018/22686

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1. To seek feedback from the Kaipātiki Local Board on potential new community-led conservation projects to be funded out of the natural environment targeted rate.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2. Auckland Council agreed to strike a natural environment targeted rate (NETR) as part of the 10-year Budget 2018-2028. The NETR programme focuses on new opportunities to reverse biodiversity decline, such as native species extinctions and ongoing degradation of native ecosystems.

3. The NETR will invest $311 million into a range of environmental work programmes over the next ten years. This represents an approximately four-fold increase on current general rates-funded investment in these areas.

4. The NETR is intended to grow regionally significant conservation activities and outcomes. It is not intended to replace local board investment in environmental projects, however it can be used to amplify local board efforts where initiatives align with regional priorities.

5. On 5 September 2018, a workshop was held with the Kaipātiki Local Board on the proposed natural environment targeted rate work programme. The informal feedback provided by the Kaipātiki Local Board during the workshop session included:

· support for kauri dieback disease management

· the need to get local tracks upgraded so parks can be reopened while protecting kauri

· support for urban stream ecology and health, particularly around riparian margins.

6. On 12 November 2018, the Kaipātiki Local Board received a memo (refer Attachment A) requesting the board provide suggestions on community-led conservation projects for funding under the natural environment targeted rate. The board also received a map of existing, known community group presence/activity in Kaipātiki parks and reserves (refer Attachment B).

7. The board’s feedback is due to be submitted to staff by Tuesday 5 December 2018. It is recommended that this feedback is provided formally, and this report provides the mechanism for the board to provide the feedback formally via resolution of the board.

8. Local Board Services staff will submit the board’s formal feedback on potential new community-led conservation projects following receipt of this report.

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Kaipātiki Local Board Community Forum:

a) provides feedback on potential new community-led conservation projects to be funded out of the natural environment targeted rate.
