Member Joseph
Allan noted that XRACE event is planned at Totara Park on Saturday, 23
March 2019. XRACE is an adventure
race where parent and child race together, locate and complete mystery
challenges while racing the clock and all the other family teams.
Member Bill
McEntee noted Pahurehure
Inlet Protection Society’s work towards restoration of the inlet, the
work included removal of mangroves. Papakura Local Board has received a
presentation from PIPS on their work.
Member Chris
Makoare noted that Mangere bridge is now permanently closed because of
concerns about public safety. The bridge links the Onehunga and Māngere Bridge communities. The
gates on the bridge have been permanently locked and four security guards are
patrolling the bridge 24/7 and CCTV is being installed. The Old
Māngere Bridge is more than 100 years old and its condition has been
deteriorating for some time. The transport agency is upgrading the underpass
next to the Manukau Harbour Crossing motorway structure, which has a walking
and cycling track under the road deck. This will be the alternative route
connecting the Onehunga and Māngere Bridge communities until the
replacement bridge is built.
Deputy chair David Holm noted that a
letter from Chairperson, Saffron Toms and himself (on
behalf of Manukau Harbour Forum) has been send to both Stephen Town (Auckland
Council CEO) and Councillor Penny Hulse (Chair Environment and Community
Committee)
seeking their
assistance and advocacy support to Stats NZ and asking for release of Stats
NZ land use survey data which can be used for the hydrodynamic modelling.
Deputy chair
David Holm also noted that Puketapapa Local Board has
been made aware of issue of religious artifacts/
cultural offerings being dumped in the Manukau Harbour. Puketapapa
Local Board is working on a ‘Religious and Memorial Practice’
sign with the purpose of educating people around the issue and what can and
cannot be dumped in the water. A copy of draft sign has been placed on the
official minutes and are available on the Auckland Council website.
