Retention of non-service
property as recreation open space – 400 St Johns Road
|
Auckland Council
considered its role in the provision of equestrian facilities in December
2012 and resolved that Council's primary role in the provision of
equestrian facilities is to make Council owned land available on a
community lease to pony club and Riding for New Zealand Disabled organisations
at a local level, where suitable.
An opportunity exists for
Auckland Council to retain land at 400 St Johns Road, St Johns, currently
designated for transport purposes, and reclassify it for recreation
purposes to enable the provision of local equestrian facilities.
The Board requests that
the Governing Body direct Pānuku Development Auckland and Parks,
Sports and Recreation to develop a business case for retaining 400 St Johns
Road, St Johns as recreation open space once Auckland Transport has
indicated that the site is surplus to its needs.

Preservation of land in
Pourewa Valley
|
Pourewa Valley is an
important ecological corridor through the heart of the Ōrākei
Local Board area. It is a known bird corridor and home to native bush and
the Pourewa Stream.
NZ Transport Agency is
selling a parcel of land at 348 St Johns Road which is likely to be used
for housing development. NZ Transport Agency has also indicated it will be
selling more parcels of land within the Pourewa Valley.
The Board requests that
the Governing Body direct staff to purchase the land to maintain the
natural environment, and advocate for retention of riparian land around the
stream for public access and water health.

Improve the ecological
restoration of Ōkahu Bay
|
Ōkahu Bay has aging
infrastructure and a combined wastewater network. After heavy rain there
are regular overflows and stormwater, including diluted wastewater, is
discharged into the bay. Auckland Council is working on a separation
project that will help.
Currently there are many
boats within the bay. The Unitary Plan sets out that all moorings must be
removed from Ōkahu Bay by July 2019.
The Board requests the
Governing Body to direct staff to prioritise the ecological restoration of
Ōkahu Bay by allocating funds from the Water Targeted Rate and Natural
Environment Targeted Rate.

Pest eradication along
the coastal cliffs from Tahuna Torea to Paritai Drive
|
The Ōrākei
Local Board supports Council’s aspiration of Pest-Free Auckland 2050.
The coastal cliffs from
Tahuna Torea to Paritai Drive require significant, continuous weed and pest
eradication to meet this aspiration. Keeping the cliffs pest-free helps to
prevent any re-infestation of the Hauraki Gulf Islands.
The Board requests the
Governing Body to direct staff to prioritise the coastal cliffs from Tahuna
Torea to Paritai Drive for pest eradication by allocating funds from the
Natural Environment Targeted Rate.
