Feedback on proposed topics for inclusion in
the Auckland Water Strategy
|
|
|
Resolution number WH/2018/134
MOVED
by Member D Whitley, seconded by Member D Battersby:
That the Whau Local
Board:
a) endorse
the proposed topics for inclusion in the Auckland Water Strategy for
discussion purposes as outlined in Attachment A and provide the following additional
feedback:
i) endorse the focus on urban streams, noting that local streams are
regularly impacted by pollution events, sedimentation, sewage and stormwater
overflows.
iii) note that current water quality issues point not only to a need
for infrastructure investment but also to a failure in effective mitigation,
monitoring and enforcement across our developing urban and rural landscapes.
iii) emphasise
the specific needs and perspective of the Manukau Harbour that is fed by
multiple catchments and appears to date have had a lesser focus within the
wider regional framework.
b) note that local board feedback on proposed topics for inclusion in
the Auckland Water Strategy will be included in a report to the Environmental
and Community Committee in December 2018, seeking approval of the draft
Auckland Water Strategy discussion document for public consultation in early
2019.
