Saffron Toms
– Feedback on the management plan for maui dolphins due Monday 19
August and support is given to Staff feedback. TheManukau Harbour Symposum
on 3 August 2019 was excellent. Thanks to Glenn Boyd and all supporting
staff and community members. With approximately 70 – 80 attendees
on the day there was some disappointment as over 90 had registered, however
was a wet grey day, with no trains running on Southern network due and one of
the Facebook comms had a mismatch between written venue and maplink. The
participation and openiness of expert council staff/depts being available to
community was valuable and well received. Attendees expressed gratitude
for symposium despite it being under resourced. Acknowledge Andrew Chin
and Brett Butland from council, Lucy Tukua and Niko Elsen for Panuku, Niklas
Erikson Darren Fong, James Fisher, Kerryn Swanepoel from across Auckland. A personal
highlight was speaker Buua Redfern’s presentation on the South Auckland
Young Environmentals (SAYE) and her groups efforts to connect young pacifika
and Māori people into environmental action. Johnnie Freelands
mātauranga Māori concepts applying circular thinking was also very
insightful. Outreach and connection across council and across our
communities of interest and place is incredibly important for the Forum and
this Symposium helped with progressing this shared awareness.
