Resolution
number WHK/2019/83

That the Waiheke
Local Board:
a) receive
consultation feedback on the Waiheke Local
Board priorities for 2019/2020.

any new or amended local targeted rate proposals to the Governing Body.
c) recommend

f) provide
feedback on the Annual Budget 2019/2020 on the regional proposals as follows:
|
Changes to rates
and fees
|
|
Proposal
|
Feedback
|
|
Increase to the
waste management targeted rate base charges.
|
Not supported as costs should be covered by those who
create excess waste rather than applying a targeted rate.
|
|
Extending food
scraps collection targeted rates to the North Shore former trial area.
|
Support all
initiatives which reduce waste however note most Waiheke residents compost
their own food scraps and a rate for this service on Waiheke would not be
supported.
|
|
Phasing out the
Waitākere rural sewerage service and targeted rate.
|
No feedback due to
the low number of submissions on this topic.
|
|
Adjusting the urban
rating area.
|
Support the
adjustment to incorporate areas that receive the same service as adjacent
urban neighbours.
|
|
Changes to rating
of religious use properties.
|
Do not support not
charging rates on the listed criteria of religious use properties.
|
|
Increases to some
regulatory fees to maintain cost recovery
|
Resource consent and building fees:
Do not support the increased charges due to the high fees
already, and it could deter people from completing minor improvements.
Harbourmaster fees:
Generally do not support as responsible boat owners
shouldn’t have to pay for those that leave boats damaged or
abandoned.
|
g) support
the proposed amendment to the 10-year Budget 2018-2028 regarding transfer of
legal ownership of properties within the council group.
