Resolution number WTM/2018/202

MOVED by Deputy Chairperson S Chambers, seconded by Member A Avendano Christie:  

That the Waitematā Local Board:

b)       encourages activation and use of our parks and open spaces for the enjoyment and benefits of healthy and active lifestyles

c)       note that whilst the Conscious Kids Holiday Programme is a commercial activity and participants are charged a fee to participate, the programme provides positive benefits, such as encouraging children to enjoy the outdoors

d)       note that the activity aligns with priorities in the Waitematā Local Board Plan:

e)       ‘Inclusive communities that are vibrant, healthy and connected’ as the activity provides a safe environment where children can play, which promotes healthy and physical active lifestyles.

f)        ‘The natural environment is valued, protected and enhanced’ as the activity encourages children and their families to value the natural environment.

j)         allow the Conscious Kids Holiday Programme proceeding at Western Springs Lakeside Park and Meola Reef Reserve under the same applicable conditions as those set out in the code of conduct for Fitness Training on Auckland Council parkland

l)         request that the Conscious Kids Holiday Programme organisers are provided copies of the Western Springs Lakeside Park Management Plan, the Meola Reef and Associated Reserves Management Plan and a copy of the code of conduct for Fitness Training on Auckland Council parkland

m)      note that Meola Reef Reserve is a closed landfill and there are associated safety conditions, and that Conscious Kids Holiday Programme must ensure that any activities undertaken will not involve lighting fires, barbecues,  or other open flames, or undertake any activities that could pierce or damage the landfill surface such as digging, planting or otherwise penetrate the landfill surface

n)       request that Conscious Kids are informed that there is a long-term water quality alert on the safe-swim website at Meola Reef Reserve which will restrict the ability to play in the streams or water, or in the mangroves and areas next to the water’s edge.
