Resolution
number FR/2019/27
MOVED by Member N Kloeten, seconded by Member M Kay:
That the Franklin
Local Board:
a) endorse
the following high level kauri protection measures for local parks and
reserves:
i)
detailed investigations to determine
appropriate mitigation measures (such as track upgrades, track re-alignment,
track re-routing, or other physical works)
ii)
temporary closures to protect
symptom-free high-value kauri ecosystems in the following Category A parks
until mitigation works are completed:
A) Clevedon Scenic Reserve
B) Platts Mills Reserve
iii) barrier planting and signage in the following Category B parks to
manage public access:
A) Āwhitu Central Recreation Reserve
B) Kemp Road Scenic Reserve
iv)
indefinite closure of tracks to prevent
infected kauri becoming a source of infection in Matakawau Recreation and
Plantation Reserve (a Category B park)
v)
barrier planting and signage in Lady
Jane Franklin Botanical Reserve (a Category C park), noting that the
positioning of planting will need to accommodate the planned Waiuku Trail.
b)
note that the final Category B reserve
on Waikopua Road 130r is landlocked, while the remaining Category C and
Category D parks are considered to be low value kauri ecosystems, thus making
them a lower priority for mitigation investment at this stage.
c)
suggest a strengthening of the
‘dog on lead’ messaging as part of protection measures
d) request
that staff prepare a local communications to inform local users and
communities on planned protections measures to be reviewed by the local
board.
e) request
that staff seek and co-ordinate local board feedback into a whole of Auckland
Council submission on the national strategy for kauri dieback.
f) request
staff to review Attachment A – List of Local Parks and Reserves –
to consider additional sites identified by Franklin Local Board.
