Resolution number MO/2018/193 MOVED by Chairperson L Sosene, seconded by Member C O'Brien: That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board: a) support increasing the cost of development contributions to enable growth related infrastructure. b) endorse the changes in demand factors to reflect the expected demand the development will have on public infrastructure, ensuring the sharing of costs between development types is equitable. c) support extending the timeframe for payment of development contributions, since the developer does not receive profit when the consent is issued and should be paid through a phasing system in alignment with the development. d) agrees that Auckland Council needs to account for any shortfall that may be incurred by extending the timeframe for payment and implement mechanisms to address non-payment contributions as this is a risk to Auckland Council and local rate payers. e) endorse the proposal to create new funding areas for transport and stormwater and change funding areas for reserves. f) support creating a new student accommodation unit category for student accommodation administered by schools and universities and reducing the demand factors in recognition of the fact that these types of development that are located near or at the schools and universities have a lower demand on transport and open space infrastructure. g) support definition changes to align with the Auckland Unitary Plan and avoid customer confusion. h) support reduced development contribution costs on Māori developments such as marae and papakāinga housing and: a new development type definition for these kinds of development could be developed to facilitate this outcome. This needs to differentiate between these kinds of development and commercial projects undertaken by iwi organisations. i) support the Māori Cultural Initiatives Fund is resourced to support the needs of Māori development. j) asks that with significant growth taking place in the local area, 10% of the development contributions from the area be invested back locally.
