Proposed kauri dieback mitigation in local parks in the Manurewa Local Board area

Resolution number MR/2019/34

MOVED by Chairperson A Dalton, seconded by Member J Allan:

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) endorse the following high level kauri protection measures for local parks and reserves:

i) undertake detailed investigations to determine appropriate mitigation measures (such as track upgrades, track re-alignment, track re-routing, or other physical works), and consider temporary closure until mitigation works are completed to protect symptom free high value kauri ecosystems in Category A park, Tōtara Park.

ii) discourage public access through barrier planting and signage in Category B park, Central Park.

iii) note that Category C park, David Nathan Park, is considered to contain low value kauri ecosystems and have low value recreational use, thus making it a lower priority for mitigation investment at this stage

b) note that a detailed kauri dieback mitigation programme with costs and timelines will be developed and submitted to a local board business meeting in mid-2019 for approval.

c) expect that staff request local board approval for all track closures, including temporary closures, prior to them being implemented in the Manurewa Local Board area.

Allocation of funding to Citizens Advice Bureaux

Resolution number MR/2019/36

MOVED by Deputy Chairperson S Cattle, seconded by Member J Allan:

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) provide feedback on the new model for allocating funding to Citizens Advice Bureaux (based on 90 per cent population and 10 per cent deprivation).

b) provide feedback on increasing the baseline grant to Auckland Citizens Advice Bureaux Incorporated by $200,000 in 2019-2021.

c) provide the following feedback:

What are the local board views on the preferred model for allocating funding to CABs, including:

1. The basis of funding allocation, including the population estimates and deprivation index

· The board supports the addition of deprivation as a factor in the agreed model.

· However, the board believes that the 10% weighting given to the deprivation index is insufficient to account for the increased needs that bureaux in areas of high deprivation are required to meet.

· The board also believes that the agreed model does not have the flexibility to account for unique features of each bureau area. For example, the Manurewa CAB receives a high level of patronage from newly released inmates due to the presence of two prisons in the local area. The two prisons also have an 0800 number which takes them directly to the Manurewa CAB.

· Other factors which should be taken into account include literacy rates and the proportion of the local population for whom English is a second language, as these also require the local CAB to spend more time and resources to service the client.

2. Bureau areas served (eg alignment with local board boundaries)

· The board agrees with the current alignment of the area served with the local board boundary.

3. Other local funding considerations

· The board supports the proposed $200,000 per annum to maintain current service levels for all bureaux in Auckland.

· The board believes that the overall funding for CAB from council should be adjusted annually by at least the level of inflation. If funding is frozen at the current level, even with the addition of the proposed $200,000, it will not be sufficient to guarantee that service levels will be able to be maintained in later years.

· Consideration should also be given to providing funding for expanding services where required. For example, the Manurewa CAB has opened a satellite bureau in Clendon town centre due to the high needs of the population there.

4. Any other local feedback regarding CABs

· The board would like Auckland Council to advocate to central government for them to also increase their funding to the CAB. The majority of services offered by CAB support central government agencies rather than local government functions, so it is inequitable to expect local authorities to provide the largest source of funding for them.

d) request that a copy of this feedback be forwarded to all local boards for their information.

Feedback on draft Increasing Aucklanders’ participation in sport: Investment Plan 2019-2039

Resolution number MR/2019/39

MOVED by Chairperson A Dalton, seconded by Member J Allan:

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) endorse the draft Increasing Aucklanders’ participation in sport: Investment Plan 2019-2039 and provide the following feedback for consideration of the Environment and Community Committee:

i) support the principle of focusing investment on the target areas of emerging sports, high-participation sports and low participation communities.

ii) note that more people participate in recreation than organised sport, and there also needs to be investment in this area.

iii) note that the impact of the plan on existing relationships with local sport organisations, in particular those relating to current local funding and leasing investments needs to be carefully managed.

iv) support the equity approach to sport investment, where investment is made to ensure that all communities throughout Auckland have the opportunity to access and participate in community sport that meets their needs and interests.

v) support the investment in sport and Te Ao Māori, and recommend that Te Ao Māori values be applied to all delivery of services, not just services by Māori for Māori.

vi) support the emphasis on multisport facilities to cater for future sporting needs.

vii) note that:

A) there is the potential for undue complexity in the application process due to requirements for strategic alignment with council plans, cost benefit analyses, and business cases, and

B) the board is concerned that these requirements will discourage local sport and community organisations from completing the application process.

viii) note that swimming pools play an important role in both organised sporting activity and recreation for our community, and request that the current policy on swimming pool charges be reconsidered with a view to regional funding of free access to pools.

ix) note that the board does not support user charges being applied to sports fields as a part of any future refresh of the plan.
