Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To provide an overview to community members on regional matters within the 2019/20 Annual Budget and Our Future Water discussion document along with the opportunity for individuals to provide verbal feedback to elected members
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. This year Auckland Council are consulting on the Annual Budget 2019/2020, a proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 regarding property transfers and Our Future Water at the same time.
3. Once every three years, council are required to adopt a long-term plan (10-year budget), and in the intervening years an annual plan, otherwise known as an annual budget. The annual budget includes a Local Board Agreement for each of our 21 local boards. The consultation document seeks public feedback to help council develop our annual budget for 2019/2020, which will cover the second year of the current 10-year budget.
4. The Waitākere Ranges Local Board has identified the meeting of 28 February 2019 as an opportunity for public to provide verbal feedback.
Recommendation/s That the Waitākere Ranges Local Board: a) receive the 2019/120 Annual Budget and Our Future Water discussion document presentation b) acknowledge and thank any verbal contributors. |

Context guidance
Proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 regarding property transfers
5. Due to an incoming tax law change, the council will incur a substantial tax liability if we transfer land within the council group after 1 July 2018. While the changing tax law isn’t a reason in itself to transfer assets into direct council ownership, if there is a strategic case to do so, then practically the transfer should occur before 1 July 2019 or the council will incur a substantial cost.
6. The proposal does not alter the purpose (as set out in its constitution) or the existing delegations of Panuku as a company. Auckland Council and Panuku would continue to constructively work together in progressing our longterm strategies regarding the city centre waterfront.
Our Water Future
7. In June 2018, the Environment and Community Committee decided to prepare a Water Strategy for Auckland.
8. Auckland Council have prepared a discussion document, Our Water Future, to generate public awareness and feedback about the issues that we think should be addressed in the strategy.
9. Auckland Council propose a framework to organise how we make decisions about water. This includes a vision: to protect and enhance te mauri o te wai – the life supporting qualities of water. It also identifies four big issues we need to tackle: cleaning up our waterways, growth in the right places, meeting future water needs, and adapting to a changing water future.
10. We have focused on high-level values in this document – the spaces where we can find agreement and unify our vision. The next steps in developing a Water Strategy for Tāmaki Makaurau need to provide a line of sight, from vision to actions, to make sure what we are doing is going to build the future we aspire to. Defining outcomes, measures and processes for transparent reporting on our progress will be an important part of this.
